WITH THE SANDWICH.
TJ: Hey, father! What's up man? Priest: Uhhhh, hi? TJ: Boy, it has been SO
long since I last did this... Priest: Oh, well, that's okay;
I can walk you through the steps-- (again) TJ: Heh, no worries, no worries! I've
already been through the first step! I've examined my consciousness. And don't worry,
I'm totally sober and just-just ready for this! Joe: Psst! Rene! You know you can get a
plenary indulgence if you sell me your spot in line? Rene: Joseph! That's not how that
works! Joe: It is! It's a thing! I know because I saw meme about it on Facebook. Priest: I absolve you of your sins in name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen. Aimee: Thank you, Father. What was my penance again? Priest: 20 Hail Mary's. Aimee: Okay.
*Breathes in the spirit of a cleansed heart and renewed soul* Aimee: Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary, HailMary HailMary HailMaryHailMary..... Joe: Hey, Ned, are you going to Confession? Ned: Um, yeah. Joe: Hey, so, uh, while you're there, could you,
uh, possibly say my confession for me? Ned: No, Joe! I'm not doing this for you! ...Again! Joe: Oh, come on! Wait, I got it! How about this? If you do this for me, I'll have TWO masses said for you. Ned: Make it 13.
Joe: What?! Ned: 13... Or no deal. Joe: Ugh, fine! Rene: *sobbing, distraught* Priest: My child, what's wrong? Rene: I can't believe what I've done... *Sniffles* Priest: What did you do? Rene: I held hands with my boyfriend! *Muttering* Priest: Oh.
Is there anything else--? Rene: Yes! *Hysterical* Yes, and there's more! I wore... I wore shorts instead of a skirt. Priest:Anything else? Rene: *gasps for breath* I chose... In my selfish ways to go to Benedictine College
instead of Franciscan University.
*SAY WHAAAAAT?!* Rene: FRANCISCAN UNIVERSITY!!!! Joe: Hey, Ned. Where are you going? Ned: Ugh, I'm going off to Confession. Joe: Really? That's wonderful! Ned: Well, my fiance is making me go so... I'm not really sorry.
*Flashback transition music* *dubstep party music* *chill elevator music* Zaira: *screams* *back to the wub-wub-wubs* Zaira: Edward Stanton Bury!! Ned: Yes, honey? Zaira: What did you do?!? Ned: Clearly, I fixed it. Zaira: We have ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS with David TOMORROW!!! Ned: That was part of the plan! Zaira: You are going to Confession RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!! *Flashforward transition music* Joe: Whoa, no!
If that's the case, you really better not go! Ned: Meh, I'm an actor. He won't know the difference. Joe: Wait, no! Ned, that's not a good i...Dea...
Rene: Thank you so much for your help,
Father Pio. Padre Pio: Oh, of course! God bless you, my daughter. *Pio senses are tingling* Padre Pio: Don't come back until you're actually sorry! Oh, and one more thing: John Paul II would not approve of your acting skills! Ned: *cries* Joe: *Gollum's voice*
Forgive us, Father, for we have sinned... Priest: I know it's you, Joseph.
>> Oh honey, don't cry. Maybe you're crying not because
you really think I'm gonna get mad at you, but maybe it's just because you're so upset
your pretty little handbag is ruined. >> You can show Mom. She won't get mad.
>> Can you show it for me? [Captions by Judy V.
At Y Translator]
[Music] [Music] >> Is there a mold in that bag? >> No. >> She said that there is
something bad in there and I'm like scared
it's gonna be moldy food or, like, a wild animal. >> Here's the deal. I get upset when
I get sass or attitude.
If you make a mistake, I correct you. >> This is a really, really, really big one. >> A really, really big mistake? Alright. Would it feel good
to get it off your chest and tell me? Or would it feel good
to hide it a little longer? How long have you been hiding this secret? >> I don't know.
I just found out today. >> I can't even imagine what
it is you're hiding in there. >> [Indistinct] I just found out today. >> You just found out today?
>> What is in it? >> It's not a dead animal.
>> No. >> Okay, if it's not a dead animal, then nothing could make me upset. >> [Indistinct] be permanent. >> Did you ruin your bag? Oh, did you ruin your bag? >> What kind of stain is it? >> Okay, let me give you some details.
I bought these bags, Kevin and I bought these bags
when we went to Italy, about a year and half ago we went. And these bags were in Italy before they were really
really popular in the U.S. We came to the U.S. And then all of a sudden,
they were everywhere.
And these are real leather, super, super high quality. In the US, they would run for about $300. In Italy, they were like $60. Handmade, hand-stitched,
pure leather bag.
So now that we have the update, did you ruin your bag? You know I gave these to you
knowing you're children, right? >> Trust me, I have scratches
and cuts like all over my bag. And it's in the front
so everyone can see it. >> This is nothing compared to [indistinct]. >> Alright, Julie.
The camera's rolling
so I can't get that mad. It helps keep me under control. You ready? >> What kind of liquid is it? >> Liquid? >> Is it liquid? >> Did you spill a nail polish in there? A lipstick. >> Did you spill--
>> A marker bled? >> A juice? >>Milk?
>> Peanut butter? >> Water? >> Mascara? >> Hair spray? >> Did you urine in it? >> I don't know what that means.
>> Well, Russell does. >> A wetlet in it. >> Oh, no. >> Alright Julie--
>> Just tell me what it is first.
Okay? >> How about we do it together? >> Please tell me what it is. I don't--
>> Please say you won't get mad. >> Oh, of course, honey. I promise.
I absolutely think
this is more darling than you-- Oh honey, don't cry. Oh. Maybe you're crying not because
you really think I'm gonna get mad at you, but maybe it's just because you're so upset
your pretty little handbag is ruined. Is that it?
>> [Indistinct] >> Do you need a new one? Julie, it's okay.
Did you know Dad's going to Italy in July? He can find a new one. Would you like that? If they still sell them in Italy,
I'll ask him to pick one up for you. They, he may not be going
to that part of Italy, but maybe he will be, okay? Plus, the outside looks perfectly fine. So let's do the inside.
Can I look? >> I want to be prepared of what it is. >> Come on. Can I look? >> I'm gonna show Abby first. >> [? I'm not looking till] Mom does.
>> Abby. It's not... >> I know what she-- I know what it is. She told me.
>> What is it? >> Okay, okay.
Don't, don't... Okay, if she told you
to be quiet about it-- Hey, I told you to go change.
>> Russell, Russell. >> Um, these were the only pajamas.
>> Russell, whisper it. >> Hey.
>> It's fine. It's fine. You can show Mom. She won't get mad.
>> Can you show it for me? >> Tell it to me.
>> This is worse than I thought. Was this yours? Or was this Eve's? This was yours. >> It's pink mold. >> Oh, dear.
Honey, I'm not mad at you. I feel bad for you. It's okay. >> Well, that was cool [indistinct] what I did.
>> It's okay. We could buy you a new backpack, that looks just like that. >> I am not mad at you in the slightest. I feel bad that you feel bad.
It's going to be okay. I have an idea. No, no, no, I have a wonderful idea. Tomorrow, the laundromat that does
Daddy's shirts and his wool pants, they do a really good job
of getting things out.
And they have like cleaning
things that you can do on leather. Let's send it to the dry cleaners
and see what they come up with. Should we try that? Would that make you happy? Let's send it to the dry cleaners and let's see what they say. I bet they could get it out.
>> Lesson learned: Never put slime in your bag. >> If it's made in Italy. >> Empty out the chapstick that's in there. And go put it in the-- I'll put it in the laundry bag.
It's outside. Is everything out of it? Okay. Here we go. I think the laundry bags-- Wait, did they take it today? I don't see the laundry bag.
Alright, dry cleaners. Give me your best. It'll be a miracle
if they can clean that up. [Music] It's my friend's birthday today and she's had a really rough year, and so the neighborhood got together, and we are doing
little things around her house for a couple of hours while she's gone.
So hopefully, when she comes home, everything is done. And everyone's doing something simple, something meaningful, and it all just adds up. And she'll have a really clean house, with all of her garbage and recycling taken out, and her garden weeded. [Music] That was some of the most fun
I've had in a long time.
It was so neat to see
the whole neighborhood. I can't wait till Kirsten comes home, and sees, not just the
housework and the yard work done, but sees how much we all love her. [Music].
[Luka] I've known you guys for a while now, so I think I'm finally ready to tell you this
[Adrien] Hey guys, sorry I'm late-
[Luka] I like Marinette. [Nathaniel] Well, this is a little awkward cuz... I still kind of like Marinette too. [Adrien] *Wait, what is this? Why do I feel so-* [Nino] Hmmm...
Since it looks like we're all confessing, I guess I should mention that I got a thing for her as well.
[Luka] *Woah. Doesn't he have a girlfriend?*
[Adrien] Nino. No!
[Nathaniel] Unfaithful boy! [Nino laughs] I'm just kidding.Y'all know I got Alya.
[Adrien] *This is the first time I've ever had the urge to hit him.* [Luka] *He's lucky Alya isn't here or he'd be dead by now.* [Nino] Ahahaha! Wooh, that was a good laugh! So who's next, Adrien? You got feelings for Mari too? [Adrien] She's just a frien- Fr- Uh.
Fr- ieh -fr-
Frrrrrr... [Luka] Psst, what's with him? He looks like he's constipated or something.
[Nathaniel] We should get him to a doctor ASAP.
[Nino] Um, I don't think that's the issue here, guys..
- When I got back from Rome,
I was assigned to a hospital, my first assignment. We did a lot of work
with the sick and dying, and they had certain ambulances
called Critical Care Units. And of course, I was always in the ICU, or the MICU, SICU, the different... Or PICU for the pediatrics.
I said, "Boy, it'd be nice to have an SCU, "a Spiritual Care Unit,
where we could kind of go, "like the ice cream truck, "where we kind of get
known in the community "and go out in the hood or something, "have some hot links on Saturday morning "and engage people." Then, when Pope Francis
called the Year of Mercy, I went and I just Googled
"used ambulances for sale" and at eBay came up with a bunch of them. So I found one that was affordable, I bid on it, I got it
for $4,000 something, and put it in service right then at the beginning of the Year of Mercy. We've had it on the road
for about a year and a half, over 4,000 confessions. But it's been very effective.
It actually surprised me. I didn't really believe it'd been that effective
for the sacrament. - And what it is is a pill bottle and when you open up the prescription that the confessor will give you, there's a pill bottle
with a rosary inside. The prescription actually calls
for one a day at 3:00 p.M.
- People that have been
away for 30, 40 years, they feel intimidated to
go in the back of a church and maybe feel like they're gonna be like, "Well, where you been all these years?" And the time that we have
set up for confessions is not that conducive to working people and the society that we have today... So just showing up where people are at. - He parks in different areas, the local gym in Lafayette, the Subway in New Iberia, hospitals. He posted on Facebook he was at the shopping mall for Christmas and people go, they go to confession, whereas normally they
probably wouldn't have.
- At least the actual
grace works in the moment, they see it, they think about it, it pricks their conscience. They may not come now,
but then they'll get back, people who have been away up to 50 years..
So my first part time job was at MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida. They call it Hollywood Studios now, but to me it's always gonna be MGM. Now I know a lot of you guys have been to Disney, and no matter what park you go to, there's always gonna be certain types of things going on behind the scenes that none of you guys are aware of. But there's layers and categories that divide all of the Disney employees You have the people that have worked there for 15 years, and they have their little pin.
And they've met their boyfriend or girlfriend there and they're getting married on property, it's a whole Disney themed wedding. You've got those people there. You've got people who take their job TOO seriously. Like, you have the costume and the non-costume.
The non-costume people, they're smiling all the time, they're just a little bit awkward to be around. And you have the costume people who BELIEVE they are those Disney characters. Kids are sitting on a bench somewhere, you know, drinking soda, and they'll run up and *PSHHH* slap the drink out of the kid's hands like "Kid's! Quick! C'mon! I just stole this loaf of bread!" "From the marketplace! Cause I'm poor!" "Guess what? You're poor too! Sultan's guards are coming! Let's run!" "And let's just a sing song! Sing a song!" Gotta keep one jump ahead of the law men I never had a problem working with those people. OK, and then you have people like me.
Who would show up to work on time. Clock in, do their job, clock out, not cause any problems. And I love working with people like me. Because I'm AWESOME! Now the people I DIDN'T like working with: The Snitches.
And Disney snitches are the WORST. Their sole objective when they come to work is to pretty much rat and snitch on everybody else. They think they're like spies. In reality, they're coming to work and jumping in their 1984 Honda Civic.
But in their mind, they're in an Aston Martin cruising into MI6 like a double-0 agent, and they work for British secret intelligence. There was one day I went into work, and they put me outside of my ride. I was NOT in the best of moods to be all smiley. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the other greeter standing there.
He's just there tapping his foot, staring at me, hands on hips, UGH! He thinks he's all slick! I see him go over to the phone. 2 Mins later a manager shows up. Anyways, I got reprimanded that day. I'm like dude! You're 38! Why are you ratting on some 16 year old! Like really man? C'mon! But oh! Don't get me started on the managers over there.
I can't talk for other Disney parks, but the managers at MGM in my section... OH! WOW! We had 5 managers and they'd rotate every week. And 4 out of those 5 managers HATED MY GUTS! One of them was black. And you'd figured the one black guy would be the one who liked me.
No. No. The black guy hated me THE MOST! See, you can't give some black people power. We're your best friend...
Until you hand us that clipboard. And then as soon as we get that clipboard we think in our own minds we're Lion-O, Lord of the ThunderCats. And we rule all of Third Earth and Thundera. Like, you can't give some black people that clipboard.
The managers didn't start off harassing me, this happened about 6 months in. Everything was magical at first, like at orientation. That was probably the best orientation I've ever had for any of my jobs. Ever.
They group all the new people up, let you skip the lines, go on rides together, play team building games. And they seal the deal, with free food! One thing I will say, Disney has the BEST employee food ANYWHERE! It's pretty much they same thing they feed the guests, but it's 70% off. And I can't speak for anybody else, but if you ever want me to do something? Doesn't matter how crazy it is. Take me out and give me free food.
If that orientation lady were to sat- I probably shouldn't even say this on this video. But anyways. If that orientation lady were to sat down next to me, lean over and whisper all quiet like "Adande. We're glad you're having a good time." Welcome to the team.
But, we need you... To kidnap... The Prime Minister of Australia's daughter... Tonight." I would have looked up like YO! Get me on a plane! Now! Forget Inception and going 4 layers deep, and planting a little seed of idea like a parasite.
No. If you want me to do anything, bump all that. Just take me to P.F. Chang's and buy me $200 worth of food.
Disney knows what they're doing. But they kinda brainwash their employees, and it's not a natural thing. To smile for 8 hours a day? Everyday? And to listen to that same Beatbox rendition of 'It's a Small World' EVERY SINGLE DAY? Your eye starts to twitch. And you start to tick, you get these weird little ticks.
There's gonna be some side effects. Same way there's side effects with Viagra like: [imitating ad voiceover] "If your excitement lasts for more than 14 days, please consult a physician." Those kind of side effects, they warn you about. But Disney, they never warn you about the side effects. Disney employees...
They snap. And you never see the ones that snap. Because it's always when you go to lunch break, you raise your hand to clock out, and then something psychologically fires in your mind. And you just turn into a zombie and keep walking to the parking lot , jump in their car and go.
And you never come back. I snapped. You just become self aware. You want to stop working, but you figure meh.
So what do I do? I start showing up late. On purpose. First it was 5 minutes. Then in was 10.
Then I bumped it up to 30. And NOBODY would notice. I had to step it up a little bit. So what do I do next? I start stealing.
And I don't wanna steal anything TOO crazy, I didn't want to get in any serious trouble. So what do I steal? First I stole pencils, I'm Disney brainwashed so stealing pencils was a big deal. Obviously, no one noticed. So, what do I start stealing? In front of the Indiana Jones show, we have a magnetic clipboard to show times.
Yeah, no more 8:30 shows. I stole ALL the 8:30 show magnets. I don't know what came over me. Like *BOOM* you're coming with me.
Thug life baby. 'Kay, get on my level. And then one night, my shift is over, I'm about to go home. Some random manager from a completely different section of the park comes up to me like "Hey! You, hey.
Hey kid." "What's your name tag say? Ada... Adet...YOU!" "Ademantium! Come with me." I walking with this guy, I'm like "What's up man? I'm about to go home." He's like "No man, you're not going home. We need you." "A company just rented out the park." "And they only rented out half the park." "So you see over by Star Wars, where there's no light, it's pitch black and there's roaches scattering around and LORD knows what over there?" "We need you to stand there for about 3 hours." I'm looking at this guy like "You're kidding right? I've got to go home, I've got school tomorrow." "Look buddy, I'm sorry. We've all got things to do tomorrow." "But you've gotta stand over there." "In case any guests get lost." "We need you to stand over there in the darkness, if they walk over to you, redirect them to civilisation where the partying is happening." "We're gonna all be over here.
You stand right over there." "OK, how long do I have to stand over there?" "Maybe a few hours? I'll come and let you know." I'm over there standing, and the longer I stand there, the more heated I get. "Guy's talking to me like I'm a mite? Like I'm an animal!? Who do you think I am!?" "Why am I the only person here! I don't see anybody else!" "I quit. I'm done. Outta here.
Peace." "I'm walking, I'm done. That's it, I don't care what happens." "I hope that guy sees me walking out!" As I'm about to get to wardrobe to clock out, I look down the street. And all I see are Disney chefs, and the entire road is full of FREE. DISNEY.
FOOD. Chefs are tossing pancakes in the air in slow motion. You've got chefs on the grill. Free food galore! That comes as one of the packages, you can rent out the park, and the ENTIRE park is catered.
I gotta get some of this food! But it's all rich, old people around. I can't blend in. I assess the situation and I realise: Ok, #1. I'm rehiring myself #2.
I gotta find out what the deal is with all this. Next day I come into work and pull aside one of the employees that had been there for 3 years. "Yeah, um, people can rent out the parks?" "Yeah." "OK, crazy question I know, um..." "They always have free food like that? Or... How does that work?" "Yeah, they always get free food." "Ok.
Ok." "Crazy question, I mean, psh." "What if an employee, like, got caught, sneaking in and tryin' to eat some of the free food?" "I know that's crazy, right?" She looked and me and was like "Um, termination. On the spot." OK. THAT's how I'm going out. I'm going out in an orchestra of bacon, sausages and eggs.
About a month later, another group rents out the park. Now I'm just sizing everybody up like "No. I still can't blend in with you guys." But two months after that, a HIGH SCHOOL rents out the entire park. And we only had 2 shows at Indiana Jones that night.
So I'm telling myself this is it! This is it! We do our two shows, and the INSTANT the second one ends, I'm like *PSHOOOM* Like a ninja! I'm hopping from rooftops on the Disney rides to get to wardrobe. I change, and my new mission is how do I get back, wearing civilian clothing, without security seeing me. I've spent too many hours playing Metal Gear Solid. Hideo Kojima, DO NOT fail me now.
I'm leaning up against walls, I'm in bushes, creeping around in a cardboard box. I ain't gonna get caught. I make it back out there. I grab a plate and it's like hamburgers, chicken, pasta, I'm eating french toast.
For no reason. Seafood, steak, ribs, Pillsbury dough boy! It's doing cartwheels in the background like "hehehehe" They have fish, they have everything, they have Gummiberry juice! You know, from the cartoon? The potion they drink? They actually had the REAL gummiberry juice there! I ate SO. MUCH. FOOD! OH MY GOSH! I showed them.
My kids might be obesed, because of some of the stuff I did that night. And then I realised CRAP! I don't wanna be that one kid running around by themselves eating all this food, I gotta to blend in. I look around and find this group of kids and chameleon my way into their clique. Next thing you know, me and my BFFs we're going on all the rides together.
It was... One of the BEST nights of my life. They never caught me, never found out. Disney, I've got a confession.
I quit a few months later, so I don't work for Disney anymore. I will say, I know it sounds bad, but working for Disney was amazing. Awesome experience. And I tell you guys all of that to get to this.
If you guys know anybody that looks even remotely like me, This is what I look like. Anybody that looks like me, who lives in the LA or Orlando area works at Disney and has an ID that's valid, that I can use to get back onto Disney property. Please send this video to them. As a matter of fact, if you know anybody that works at Disney, because they might...
Actually you know what? Put this on your Facebook wall, send this to EVERYBODY, tweet it. Somebody that you know knows somebody that knows somebody that works at Disney that knows somebody that looks like me. And they need to see this video. Help your boy swoozie out.
Cause with a valid ID, I can get back on property next time a high school or college rents out the park. Here's my Facebook. Twitter. MySpace.
I even got a Tumblr. Here's all this stuff OK guys? If you know somebody who looks like me, contact me IMMEDIATELY. It's about them chicken quesadillas right now, and you have NOT lived until you've tried Disney's seasoned french fries. True story.
Hey everyone, welcome back to Yandere Simulator, I have something really exciting to share with you guys today. So if you've been following my last few videos I've been playing mods created by this guy... The first mod he made was multiple easter egg mod. That was fun! The second mod he made was to make Yandere Simulator seen like a finished game.
Made it very challenging, made winning parameters, and the winning screen at the end, and he just keeps getting better and better. This is his latest mod. He's calling it 'The Horror Mod' game, and he actually has cutscenes. Animated cutscenes at the beginning and the end.
Yes, lovely cutscenes with Senpai and Yandere-chan. So welcome back, here we go. We start off with a cutscene, we have three days of really hard gameplay, and then at the end of the third day, which is Friday, we get another cutscene. With some romance.
So, welcome back, here we go. This is gonna be challenging but is gonna be rewarding... Yes. Once again, this is a mod that he doesn't want publicly available, unfortunately for you guys that are gonna be asking me for it.
But, if it ever is available, I will have the link in my comment down there. So, yes. Keep an eye out at this stage I can't share it. But, uh, yeah.
Here we go, welcome back. Blah blah blah. So this is a cutscene.... I'm not controlling it, I can control the camera but I can't [Whispering] Senpai....
I can't control her, she's walking on her own. [Background music] [Whispering] So she wants to confess to Senpai.... [Background music continues] [Whispering] I.... ....
This is very cool. ......... Apparently it took a really long time to do the cutscene at the end of this... Game.
[Slightly high-pitched] I.... You can do it, say I. Love you. ....
It was you who called me here. [Slight whispering] .... I was! She can't get it out. So, what did you wanna say? I....
Spit it out, Yandere-Chan! Spit it out! You can do it! Ok, well we're probably gonna cary off that cutscene at the end of the game if we win! This mod is not about being a Yandere It's about nightmares and dream a Yandere can have. So, I, I tried this out [Bell rings] to start off with. It's really freakin' hard. So we're Wednesday, now.
See, but the teacher's gonna see me. .... So ..... ....
It seems like .... ... Someone's chasing me. [Slight gasp] [Giggling] Someone's chasing me, I don't know who the fuck it is.
Is it... A ghost? Use the camera to look around. It's really hard to see anything. And...
This is really- I'm gonna turn the volume up. There are jump scares in this. We gotta keep moving. Because someone's chasing me.
It's like a ghost or something is chasing me and I have to just- [Slightly scared yell] .... [Laughing] Woah, ok. So I didn't fail there, I don't know why I don't fail sometimes. Is it- Is it because I have my camera? I'm not exactly sure what- what's happening.
[Laughs] But these things keep jumping out at me and sometimes when they jump out at me, I fail. [Creepy music plays] .... So this my classroom. Can we go to class? [Creepy music continues] Oh shit! Teacher's gonna see me! [Gasp] So the teacher can't see me and I can't go to class.
... Fuck! [Hums as creepy music continues] .... And there's no cheats in this, there's no way to speed forward the day. Oh, we can, we can actually this thing.
But I actually used it before. I'm gonna try it now [Caught noise] Did you catch me or what? I don't know- what's- what's happened. Did I fail? .... Ok, let's speed forward the day.
[Girl gasping] See! Female: N-No... Wait. I can't stay in one spot, because this ghost thing, whoever the hell it is. ...
Kills me. [Bell rings] So I have to start again. And it takes me right back to the beginning. [Sigh] Don't see me, teacher.
Are you even a teacher? Or what the fuck are you? [Creepy music] .... Ooh, that was close. .... Yeah what-what is it? It's the ghost.
And I can't go back outside. ... I can't go outside, it won't let me go outside. [Rushed grunting] ....
Hm.... ..... How 'bout we hide? Let's go upstairs. Remember those stack of boards outside the computer room? Let's try to hide there.
.... No matter what, if I- ... What the- what? I didn't fail, that's a good- that's a good start. No matter what if I speed forward the day...
.... Hm... ... I just- I just fail.
So I just have to keep running to keep moving. Because this thing's on my ass, I think it's chasing me. Where are those boards? I wanna hide. Ugh...

And the thing is... If I- If I hide there, the ghost is gonna come and stand right there. And- And scare me. What I'm gonna do is actually Uh...

[Horror music continues to intensify] Can I jump off the roof? Holy crap! [Laughs] This is intense! Wow! This is amazing! This is really spooky! So he used the Slenderman music. Oh, there's no railings! [Gasps] And Senpai's out the back! Quickly! We gotta get to Senpai! [Gasps] Gotta get to- [Jumbled words] Can we-? Are we-? Where is Senpai? Where the f- Oh! It's out there! [Gasps] Yes! [Laughs] We jumped off! Oh look at my- Um- Wow! Are they coming? Oh! Woah woah woah! Ok, Friday, good! I'm gonna win Friday straight up! I thought I was gonna die a few times. I guess 'cause I'm continually running. There- Can I- I can't fucking see them! Don't- Don't- Just run to Senpai! Oh shit! Where's Senpai?- There! Tree! Oh! Oh! Woah! Woah! Woah! There was a boy there! So all the students in school are crazy bitches.
[Raspy] "Senpai!" Senpai! .... [Bell rings] [Slight gasp] Here we go! This is it! [Calming music plays] [Slight whisper] Senpai.... What is such a cute girl so nervous about? I have something important to tell you.... Awh! That's sweet! So, what did you want to say? I....
I want to spend the rest of my life with you... Big moment's coming up guys, it's coming up. I also want to be with you... The big moment we've all been waiting for.
[Upbeat music plays] Awh! Don't cry I'm here. [Laughs] Sweet! Happy End... Very cool! [Music continues] Very cool. Well apparently, that animation took a really long time to make.
But it's- it's- ... This is really...- This is really cool! It's um.... It's like a completely new game inside Yandere Simulator! With.... The ending that we all want from Yandere Simulator at the end of this.
So that's... Is that it? Is nothing else gonna happen? I can't walk....- Cool! Well, guys, there we go! Hope you enjoyed this! This is something new and, yeah awesome! Please leave a like if you did enjoy this! Like I said, I can't share this mod at the moment. The creator has got his name on the top left hand corner. Uh...
Requested that I don't share this. He may in the future, I don't know. I don't know why he doesn't want to share it. Maybe he doesn't want to upset Yandere Dev.
Anyway guys, yeah! Cool! It's uh- it was very challenging, and I'll probably play the other mod he made in the future and try to win it with reputation. If you saw previously, I won it by killing everyone. And.... Winning that way.
Anyway, yeah. And uh... Playlist link the description if you wanna watch more Yandere Simulator videos I made or some others. And...
Until next time, remember, hugs not drugs. Hugs are good for your health. Buh-Bye [Popping noises as the images appear] [Calming music plays].
Seven Pillars of Catholic spirituality. Number
1: Confession. I know. I know how you feel.
I know what you
think. I know what people say. I know all the emotions and the resistance and all of
that that goes along with just the word "confession". And all the excuses.
I've got some favorites,
of course, that I like to hear from time to time. You know, people say to me: "Well, I
can't go to confession." I say: "Why not?" They say: "Because my priest, he know me."
Funny, I thought that was the idea. "But what's the problem with that?", I say. "Well, if
he knew my sins, he would never talk to me ever again." Don't kid yourself.
You're not
that original. It's not like you're going to tell him anything he hasn't heard. I say
to him "Well can't you go behind the screen?" They say "Yeah, but even if I go behind the
screen, he knows my voice." Try confessing in an Australian accent, see how that works
for you. Then we've got a culture out there that says
you don't need to go to the confession.
Our culture tells us you don't need to go to confession,
because our culture tells us sin and evil don't really exist. Our culture tells us sin
and evil were invented by the church, to control people, to manipulate people. If you believe
that, seriously, if you believe that sin and evil don't exist, please go home tonight and
watch the 10 o'clock news. Having watched the 10 o'clock news tonight, if you still
believe that sin and evil don't exist, seek professional help! Because sin and evil, they're
really in our lives, they're really in the world.
And that would be lovely, wouldn't
it? It would be lovely if we could just to gather up all the evil people and drop them
on an island. I mean just gather up all the evil people, put them together on one island
and just let them have at it, just let them self-destruct. The only problem with that
is that doesn't work. You know they tried that once.
Yeah, down in Australia. And the
reason we can't just gather all the evil people and drop them on an island and let them self-destruct
is because there is a line that separates good from evil. There is a line, but it isn't
out there somewhere. The line that separates good from evil is cast down the center of
my heart and the center of your heart.
The battle is not out there. The battle is in
here. That's why we just can't gather up all the evil people and drop them on an island.
Here in America, we've got 4 million people incarcerated in America. 4 Million people!
The battle is not out there.
The battle is in here.
We've got another group of people who say "Well, I don't need to go to confession to
a priest." I've got lots of friends like that, Catholics and non-Catholics. They say "I confess
to God, but I don't need to go to confession to a priest." I say: "Why not?" They say "Because
me and Jesus, we're mates, we're buddies, we're tight, we're friends, we're close. I
just tell Jesus my stuff and he forgives me." It's a nice idea, isn't it? I mean, really,
when you think about it, it's a lovely idea. The only problem with that one is it doesn't
work.
You know why? Because you and me, we're human beings. And as human beings, we have
a phenomenal ability to deceive ourselves. Yes or yes? Oh, yeah. We can convince ourselves
of all sorts of crazy stuff.
That why this me and Jesus thing doesn't work. That's why
Jesus didn't set it up that way to begin with. You see, when Jesus instituted the sacrament
of confession, He wasn't doing it to give you one more thing to do. He wasn't doing
it to strike a blow at your self-esteem or to make you feel guilty or bad about yourself
or shameful or any of those things.
When Jesus instituted the sacrament of confession, he
was acting as the divine psychologist. Why? Because we all have a great need to confess.
Every single one of us. Because every single one of us, every single day, we do things
that stop us from becoming the best version of ourselves. Yes or yes? Every single day,
we do these things that stop us from becoming the best, and they we carry all that stuff
around with us everywhere we go.
We take it to work, we take it home in the family, we
take it to our marriage, we pass it to our kids, we carry all that stuff around with
us. And if you think you can carry all that stuff around with you and it's not affecting
you - physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and psychologically - if you think
you can carry all that stuff around with you and it's not affecting you, then you're either
the king or the queen of the la la land. Because it's real. We do do things that affect us
deeply - physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and psychologically.

So, maybe the thought of going to confession
has come to mind at some point in the past... But, its been a long, long time since you
last went. Maybe even your last confession was your first... On the day you made your
First Penance.
Whatever the case may be, here you are... Watching this video. My friend,
you didn't end up on here by accident. God, in however way He chose to, has led you here...
And he led you here for a reason: To come back to Him...
The take advantage of this
time of grace when He offer you His Divine Mercy, to forgive and forget anything and
everything that you have ever done in your life... To free you of the guilt that has
weighed on you for so long... To fill you with His love and grace... And to lead you
on the path that will bring you back to Him.
The first thing to know before we begin is...
It's OKAY that you have been away for so long. What's important now is that here you are...
Ready to return to God... To wipe the slate clean... To be spiritually cleansed...
And
to start anew. The priest, who you will be confessing your sins to, will NOT judge you.
And I can almost garuantee that there is NOTHING. That you have done sinful that he has never
heard someone confess before. No, you are NOT the biggest sinner in the world.
There
are many, many greater sinners that have come before you and have been made new. If anything,
the priest is more than ecstatic to minister to someone who has been away from the sacrament
for so long. He will understand how you are feeling: the nervousness, the hesitation,
the anxiety. These feelings are completely normal and common...
Even for those who receive the sacrament regularly.
But how you feel after your confession is
nothing short but rewarding. Do not let these emotions prevent you from going through with
the confession. So, with that said, are you ready? Let's begin this step-by-step process
of how to go to Confession. The first thing to do is find out the Confession
times at your local parish.
Most churches have confession available before the Saturday
afternoon mass. You can refer to the parish bulletin or check the parish's website for
designated times. If need be, you can also call the parish office to make an appointment
with the priest. The next thing to do is to prepare for your
confession, which is one of the most important parts of going to Confession.
Find a quiet place where you can go to examine
your conscience. What sins have you committed since your last confession? It's more than
likely that you will not be able to recall ALL of your sins, since its been a long time
since your last confession. This is nothing to worry about. If you have trouble recalling
your sins at the time of your confession, the priest may guide you in recalling your
sins by asking you questions, such as Have you missed Mass? And etc.
There are two VERY important things to mention
here. The first is: You must truly be sorry for
your sins... This meaning that you must acknowledge them as being offensive to God... And make
a commitment to avoid committing these sins again; though in our human weakness, that's
not to say that we won't commit them.
And secondly: It IS very important that you
do not hold back any sins you know that you have committed. This is Confession; where
sinners give account for their sins to God, through the priest, with the promise of God's
forgiveness. In deliberately withholding a sin, is in itself a grave sin. Don't not be
afraid to confess even your dirtiest, ugliest sin.
The priest will not judge you, nor is
he allowed to report you to the authorities. This is YOUR time to confess your sins to
GOD; it is much more wise to do it NOW... When you will be forgiven... Then to do it
after your death...
When you will stand before God... To be judged. When its time for confession, and you have
arrived at the church, the first thing to do is look for where the confessions are taking
place. They are usually held inside a small room inside the Church.
If you need help in
locating it, ask a fellow parishioner who will guide you. Assuming there is no line, enter the room
and close the door behind you for privacy reasons. In most cases, you have a choice:
to sit face-to-face with the priest or to confess your sins hidden behind a screen,
where you will not see the priest and the priest will not see you. For obvious reasons, most people prefer to
be anonymous and chose to confess their sins behind the screen...
And so that's how we
will be demonstrating it. After you have entered the room and closed
to door behind you, locate the screen and kneeler where you will make your confession.
Kneel on the kneeler before the screen. Begin your confession by making the sign of
the cross and saying how long it's been since your last confession In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. Bless me Father, for I have sinned, its been _____ since my last
confession.
If you can't remember when your last confession
was, do not worry. Let the priest know that its been a long time. He will understand,
and this will most likely let him know that you may need some additional guidance in receiving
the sacrament. In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Bless me Father, for I have sinned, it's been a while since my
last confession. I don't remember how long it's been, Father. After you say this, the priest will welcome
you to the sacrament. And, because its been awhile since you have been to confession and
he understands the nervousness you are feeling, he will most likely offer words to comfort
your anxiety.
Once prompted to do so, go ahead and confess your sins. Remember to do your best to admit your sins...
Admit everything... God already knows, now is the time to own up to what you have done.
Again, the priest has heard worse things than what you have to say. And, under God, he is
under a oath of confidentiality.
He can not repeat your sins to anyone. Even if you have
murdered someone; the priest is not permitted to call authorities; he cannot be subpoenaed.
Just like that saying What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas? The same for confession.
So don't worry. Jesus is ready to forgive you. What are some of the sins do you must
confess if you have committed them? After you have confessed your sins, the priest
will offer advice and guidance in regards to what you have confessed.
Listen to his
words. When he is finished, he will give you a penance
to do, which are usually, but not always, a set of prayers to say. The penance will
diminish the temporal punishment due to the sins you have received forgiveness for. The priest will then prompt you to make an
Act of Contrition, which is a prayer we pray to God.
There are several versions of this
prayer, but they all say the same thing: we confess to God that we have sinned, we acknowledge
that though we have offended God that He still loves us and is ready to forgive us, and that
we will promise to try harder not to sin and offend Him. If you do not know the Act of Contrition,
there is usually a copy of the prayer somewhere near the confession screen. Recite it. If,
for whatever reason, a copy is not available, the priest will guide you with the prayer.
The priest will conclude the confession by
giving you absolution. He will say this prayer. "God the Father of mercies, through the death
and resurrection of your son, you have reconciled the world to yourself and sent the Holy Spirit
among us for the forgiveness of sins. Through the ministry of the church, may God grant
you pardon and peace.
And I absolve you of your sins, in the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Make the Sign of the Cross as he gives you
absolution. The priest will usually say : Your sins
are forgiven, go in peace or something similar. At which point you can thank him, get up,
and leave the confessional. Remember to leave the door open behind you so the next person
in line will know its okay to enter.
But... You are not done quite yet! Remember
to penance the priest gave you? Now is the time to do it. In order for your sins to be
forgiven, the penance must be done. Again, most likely the penance will be to pray.
Most
people go to a pew inside the church after confession, kneel, and pray the penance given
to them at that point. Remember to give thanks to God for His Mercy. Once you've completed your penance, you're
done! That's it! You've gone to Confession! Your sins are forgiven! Your souls is squeeky-clean!
Enjoy the spiritual bliss that your soul experiences at this point. Let it motivate you to do good,
to come closer to Jesus, to love others, and to serve God.
Remember to confess your sins often. It gives
you grace and great spiritual strength. The Church encourages its members to make use
of this beautiful sacrament regularly. You should attend Confession at least once a year,
or at any time when you have committed a mortal sin.
Even if you haven't committed a mortal
sin, going once a month is recommended to help with forgiveness of venial sins. Don't be afraid. Don't let dear and anxieties
keep you away from Jesus's forgiveness. If He went through all the suffering on the cross
for us, being broken, beaten, exposed, and tortured, then surely we should have the courage
to come to Him in this holy sacrament.
Remember, His love for you is stronger than any fear
or sin you have within you. Forward this video to someone who needs it. God bless you!.

The Word is working
mightily in me The Word is working... ANNOUNCER>> We're glad you could join us today for the Concepts of Faith Broadcast. This program is dedicated to teach you how to put the Word of God to work so that it will make a positive difference in the everyday circumstances of your life. And now, here's Charles Capps.
CHARLES CAPPS>> Welcome to the Concepts of Faith Broadcast. Now we're continuing on the series called Why Confession Works. Now you know when you start talking about confession there's so many people that think you're talking about confessing your sins. That's about all some folks know about confessing.
Confession is that you're supposed to confess your sins and of course that's what the Bible says. John said, if, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Now that was written to Christians, that wasn't written to the sinner. He's talking about Christians there but we're talking about confessing God's Word, hold fast to your confession of faith.
Over here in Hebrews the tenth chapter, verse 23, Paul says, let us hold fast to the profession of our faith. Now profession, the word profession, can be translated confession, actually it'd be the same word. So let us hold fast to the confession of our faith without wavering for He is faithful in His promise. Now if there wasn't any possibility of losing the faith, then there wouldn't really be any need for him to say to hold fast to your profession, or confession, of faith.
So the things that we believe that are based on the authority of the Word of God, we must keep them in mind, we have to keep them in our hearts. You know the Bible says write these things upon the table of your heart. Proverbs states that. Write these things upon the table of your heart.
Well how do you write on the table of your heart? Well you can't do it with a pen. So David tapped into it, actually, when he said my tongue is as the pen of a ready writer. So the way to do it is one inch below your nose, it's your mouth, you better get your mouth in motion because that's the way you get the Word of God on the inside of you. Now we have already dealt with on some of the other broadcasts three of the reasons why and I want to reiterate them here because some of you may not have seen the other broadcast.
Number one, it causes faith to come, confessing the Word of God. Now when I say confessing the Word of God I mean to say the same thing that God said in His Word about you, about circumstances, about the situation. For instance in Galatians the Scriptures tell us, the Apostle Paul states that we have been delivered from the authority of darkness and translated into the kingdom of the dear Son of God. We're, we've been delivered from the power of darkness.
Well that's what the Word says about us. We are delivered from it but if you listen to some people talk you'd think that it says we're bound by the powers of darkness because they go by what they've experienced. They say well yes, you know, I know the Bible said that but now Brother Capps, here's what happened to me. Well first of all what happened to you didn't have a thing to do with the Word of God.
In other words it didn't change what God said. What God said, though, will change what you experience in life if you'll keep saying what God said about it. If you proclaim that you are delivered from the authority of darkness, translated into the kingdom of the dear Son of God, it does something on the inside of you, when you hear your voice saying what God said. In fact the Apostle Paul said in Romans 10 the Word is nigh thee.
It is even in thy mouth and in thy heart. First of all you must get the Word in your mouth to get it in your heart. Now that's essentially what God told Joshua in Joshua 1:8. Let not this book of the law depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt meditate therein day and night.
Now that means to give deep thought to, to mutter, and to speak to oneself. That's what that word means in the Hebrew, to mutter, to speak to oneself, give thought to, several different meanings to it, so you should speak the Word of God to yourself. Self-talk can either put you under or put you over depending on what kind of self-talk it is. Are you talking what the devil says? Are you talking what God said in His Word? So keep the Word in your mouth.
So number one, confessing the Word of God causes faith to come because the Apostle Paul said faith, so then faith cometh by hearing the Word of God. Faith in God comes by hearing the Word of God. The opposite end of that truth is that faith in the devil comes by hearing the words of the devil and that's very obvious, you don't want to go that route but so many times you do hear Christians saying what the devil said and they get all upset and they get all depressed because of all these things that are bombarding their mind. Now let me tell you something about things that the enemy puts in your mind.
The carnal mind, the Bible says, in fact the Apostle Paul says this in Romans chapter 8, he said the carnal mind is enmity against God, is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So if you're going to try to operate in the law of faith, in the carnal mind, you're going to be in a heap of trouble to say the least because you can't believe with your head what you can believe with your heart. Now when we talk about the heart we're not talking about the blood pump, we're talking about the core, the center of your being. It gets on the inside of you and becomes a part of you when you speak God's Word.
So number one, the first thing that faith does, or the first thing that confessing the Word of God does is it causes faith to come because faith cometh by hearing and it'll come more quickly if you hear yourself quoting, and speaking, and saying what God said about you. Then number two, it's the way you sow a seed in the kingdom. Now in, in the seventeenth chapter of Luke, Jesus said if you had faith as a mustard seed you might say unto this Sycamine tree, be plucked up by the root, be planted in the sea, and it should obey you. Now He didn't say to obey God, didn't say pray to God to move the tree, or cast it into the sea, but He said if you had faith as a seed you would say.
Now that's the reason some folks don't say anything that, that the Word says about them because they don't have faith as a seed. They know it's true because it's in the Bible and they believe the Bible's true, but you see it's not really true to them. So they wouldn't dare say it because they say well it might not happen. Well it probably won't because they don't have faith as a seed.
So number one, causes faith to come when you're confessing the Word of God. Number two, it sows a seed in the kingdom of God in the heart, and that's the parable of the sower in Mark the fourth chapter and Matthew the thirteenth chapter, Jesus gives us great information, marvelous information, concerning how faith works in the heart by sowing a seed, the seed is the Word of God. Number three, and this is where we left off on the last broadcast, it renews your mind. Paul said in Romans 12, be not conformed to the world, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
You renew your mind by the Word of God. In other words if you keep saying what God said, confessing the Word of God, reading the Word of God out loud, then it renews your mind and what happens you begin to think like God thinks. Now let me tell you something, when you go to thinking like God thinks, things are going to change around your place. You're going to get out depression, you're going to start believing the way God believes, you're going to see things from a whole different light, your attitude's going to change.
So we come to number four, the fourth reason why confession of the Word of God, the works in your life, the changed circumstances and situation, it keeps the answer before you. Did you know that if you're talking your problems, you're always talking the problems, saying what is, what has happened, and what's going to happen, what seems like is going to happen, and you hear people say this, my, I've been guilty of saying myself but I've learned better, you hear them say, well I can already see this is not going to work out. I can already see that we're not going to have the money to make the payment on our house, or the payment on the car, we can already, I can already see it. Now what that means is they have meditated on the things that their carnal mind has put before them and, and many times your carnal mind is influenced by the enemy and by evil forces.
See, you can't keep the enemy from putting thoughts in your mind at times but you, those thoughts, especially if they don't agree with the Word of God, those thoughts will die unborn unless you begin to speak them because that's really the way you take the thoughts is speaking it. It comes into your mind but you really haven't taken it until you begin to say it and speak it. Once you speak it and begin to confess that, say it with your mouth over and over, over a period of time, it gets on the inside of you and then it becomes true to you whether it's true or not. Now psychologists have realized that a child, whatever they believe about you, that if they believe that you don't love them, if they believe you're mistreating them, you might not be but if they, if they believe that, then to them that's true.
In other words that is absolute truth to them. So what you need to realize is the things that you're saying with your mouth may get on the inside of you and then it becomes true to you whether it's true on the outside of you or not; on the inside it's true. You have become fully persuaded of it and it might not be true at all. Some of the things that the enemy would put in your mind concerning your finances, concerning your physical health, and different things, don't get into agreement with what the enemy says and guard your mind and guard your heart above all things.
Proverbs says, keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues, are forces of life. In other words what gets on the inside of you is what's going to change the situation. So number four, why you should confess the Word of God and say what God says about you in the Scriptures. In other words He says give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall men give unto your bosom.
Begin to say that once you give, when you give an offering or when you give even to, to your favorite charity, say I have given, it is given unto me. You know, sometimes we have decided that, well it only works if you've given to the kingdom of God. Well, I know that it works that way but it'll work in other areas too. So begin to say that, it keeps the answer before you.
Now I, I. Tell you what, when you get into this you'll find out that it changes the attitude. I. Want to tell a situation that happened many years ago.
I, I. Went to a church in Arkansas and I taught one night on confessing the Word of God and calling things that are not. In other words calling what is promised in the Word of God, proclaiming it before it ever happens, and that comes from Mark 11:23 and 24, you know the Scripture says whosoever shall say to the mountain be thou removed, be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have. Now what's he going to have? Have whatsoever he saith if he believed, if he doubt not in his heart, and if he believes those things which he is saying.
Now see when you first start saying some negative things, you don't really believe them but if you say them long enough, sometimes you just said it because you were disgusted. Have you ever been there? I. Know you have. I've been there and you say something negative because you're just disgusted with the situation and you, you don't really mean it but you said it and if you keep saying it, before long you will go to believing it because the Scripture says faith cometh by hearing.
Now it comes more quickly when you're hearing yourself speak it and say it with your own mouth and your own ears, you're picking it up, it's fed right into what the Bible calls the heart, it's the core of your being, it is the production center, and it will produce in you life. So when you begin to speak things it, it, it inhibits you from believing the deliverance, the blessing of God that the Word promises. This pastor, after I. Taught on this on a Sunday night, talking about calling things that are not as though they were, and calling the promise of God, when calling abundance, when there is lack and proclaiming that God has met my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus because I've given once and again.
Like the Apostle Paul talked about in Philippians 4, the Philippian Church he said, gave once and again to his necessity, and he said my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. And you realize that Jesus was the Word personified. So the Word has to do with this. So I was, after the service we went out to eat and the pastor's wife said, Brother Capps, I'm so glad you taught on that tonight because, you see, she said we bought a piece of property some time ago, we've had it now a couple three years.
We bought a lot over here that was kind of in a ravine. It was just kind of a low place and had . . .
Water stood there. She said we let people dump fill dirt and concrete and things that they haul from construction jobs in there, and we thought we'll do that, and we'll pay on it, and they were paying on it, they bought it and they, you know, paid so much down, and she said we we're going to sell it and make some money on it because it would improve the lot if they got it up high where you could build on it. Well she said, you know, said we've been going by there and saying nobody will ever build in this mud hole, we'll never get rid of this thing, we'll probably have this the rest of our life. Well you know that, see that thought came in their mind because your carnal mind, now remember what Paul said in Romans chapter 8, he said the carnal mind is enmity against God; it is not subject to the law of God.
You can't operate in the law of faith which says you can have what you say if you believe and doubt not in your heart and, and believe that those things which ye saith will come to pass. You can't operate that on the positive side in your carnal mind because your carnal mind becomes too negative too quickly and when you go to saying the negative things, then you're not going to be operating anything on the positive side, you're going to be operating on the negative side, which is saying to the mountain in essence, oooh mountain, you're getting bigger, we'll never get over you, you're going to hinder us the rest of our life. Now you see Jesus did not tell us that this thing operated just as well or faster even on the negative side because He didn't want you over there operating in the negative side. But you see we know there's always an opposite end to every truth and it's the direct reciprocal of it.
In other words it's opposite to that. So if you can have what you say if you believe and doubt not in your heart, it'll work just as fast and maybe faster on the negative side then it will the positive side and you just need to stay out of that and to do that you've got to get out of this carnal thinking, and begin to think like God thinks, and that's the reason it's so needful for you to renew your mind to what God's Word says. But to go on with the story she said, I'm so glad we heard this message on calling things that are not. Said, I tell you what we're going to do, we're going to go by that lot tomorrow and she looked over at her husband, the pastor, and said we're going to go by that lot tomorrow and we're going to speak to that lot and call it sold in the name of Jesus and, and you're going to be a blessing to us.
And now they had it up for sale for, I. Believe, they said about two years. Now that was on Sunday night. Now they went by there Monday morning and began to speak good things over that lot, and began to confess that whatever I do will prosper, and no weapon formed against me will prosper, and I believe we receive a buyer, and somebody will be blessed with this lot.
It'll be a blessing to somebody. Now see they got out of the negative thinking of the carnal mind and they got over there, what are they doing? They're keeping the answer before them. Now confessing the Word of God keeps the answer before you. The answer is not that we're going to have this the rest of our life, we'll never get rid of this thing, we'll be paying on it (laughing) from here on, and we can't sell it.
That's not the answer; that's the problem. So you don't want to pray the problem, you don't want to confess the problem, you want to keep the answer before you. What's the answer? Call the lot sold in the name of Jesus and proclaim that whatever you do will prosper and you did something when you bought that lot. Anyway to make a long story short, they went by and talked to it on Monday morning.
Now I was back there on Wednesday night, I preached Sunday night, and then I came back and preached on Wednesday night, and she said Brother Capps, I have some news to tell you. Somebody called today and bought that lot. Now folks, three days now, less then three days, actually just two days after they talked to it, got out of their carnal thinking, got over onto the Word of God, somebody called and bought the lot. Now they'd been trying to sell it for about two years and...
Now that's amazing isn't it? It's amazing what God will do when you begin to just act on the Word of God and be doers of the Word. You know James says if, if we are doers of the Word of God, we'll be blessed in our deeds. That means you'll be blessed in everything you do. You, you have to guard your mind and keep the carnal mind from inhibiting your ability to believe what God said because you read the Word of God and your carnal mind sometimes will say well yeah, I know that's what's in the Bible but that's not what happened to me and if you're not careful, you'll get back over on this old negative stream and, and it'll change your attitude, you'll become depressed, and you'll become fearful, and you know Job proved what fear will do for you.
Job said the thing I have greatly feared has come upon me; the thing I was afraid of has come unto me. He, he wasn't just fearing. He, by his own mouth, he said I greatly feared. He was highly developed in his fear.
Now that's the reason, number four reason, that the Word of God, confessing the Word of God works, is because it keeps the answer before you. Now let's go over to Ephesians the, the fourth chapter. In Ephesians 4 the Apostle Paul gives us some good advice. Ephesians 4 in verse 17, Ephesians 4, Paul is talking about some things that'll help us here in verse 17.
This I. Say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of your mind, having your understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their heart. Now in other words, don't walk in the vanity of your mind. See, they looked at that lot and they said we'll never get rid of it.
It goes on to talk about it but he comes on down here to verse 23 and says, be renewed... Back up to verse 22, he says, that you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, the former way of life, the old man which is corrupt according to deceitful lust and be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Now that's what happens, you get your mind renewed to the Word of God when you begin to speak and say what God said. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, in other words in the attitude of your mind.
They began to think like God thought about it. God said if, if you're doers of the Word of God, you'll be blessed in your deeds. And that you put off the, put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speaking every man truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.
Be angry and sin not, let not the sun go down upon your wrath, neither give place to the devil. Now notice Paul said don't give any place to the devil. Well now if Paul said don't give place to the devil, he must not have anyplace unless we give him place because if he had place, then why would he have to tell us not to give place to the devil? See we give it to the devil by words sometimes because we speak things that are contrary to the Word of God, therefore we get over into carnality of our mind. He goes on to say, be angry and sin not, let not the sun go down upon your wrath, neither give place to the devil.
Let him that stole steal no more but rather labor, working with his hands the things which are good that he might have to give to them that needeth. Now listen to this, verse 29, let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth but that which is good to the use of edifying that it may minister grace to the hearer. Now who is the number one hearer of everything that you say? Well of course most people will say well God is but you are hearing everything you say. Of course God does hear it.
Well I'm not so sure about that. I don't believe God hears all this unbelief that people talk. I don't believe he's in tune to that. You are the number one hearer of everything that you say.
Now the Apostle Paul stated this in Romans the tenth chapter, he said in verse 6 he said the righteousness which is of faith, what saith it? Now he's going to tell you what the righteousness which is of faith says in verse 8. He says what saith it? The Word is nigh thee. Now what's he talking about Word? The Word of God? The Word of promise is nigh you. In other words it's as close to you as getting it in your mouth and speaking it into your heart.
That's how close it is to you but if you take the devil's word and put it in your mouth and speak it into your heart, guess what, you're sowing weed seeds. You see the sower soweth the Word. You either sow the Word of God or can sow the words of the devil and whether you're sowing the words of the devil or the Word of God, it's going to produce in your life. Let me tell you folks, don't sow weed seed.
Sow the Word of God. Sow something that'll produce for you. Now you will notice here that he says let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth but that which is edifying that it may minister grace to the hearer, that it may minister grace to the hearer. Now what you realize is that you're the number one hearer of the Word of God and it'll minister grace to you if you hear yourself speaking, quoting, saying what God said in His Word about you, it'll change your situation in life.
Now here's what you need to understand about this: God's Word will keep you, will keep your mind on the answer and not the problem. Now some people even pray the problem. Did you know that? They pray the problem, they hear the problem, and all they can see is the problem. Now folks, confessing the Word of God will keep the answer before you and you need to do it.
Praise God. Now before we leave the broadcast today I. Want to offer a four tape series. This tape series is called Why Confession Works.
Now see, that's what we're talking about right here on the broadcast, we, we're talking about it for several programs, Why Confession Works. This is a four tape series. It's in an album. It doesn't really look like four tapes because it's a small album but they're there, very compact, keep the dust out of them, and so on, you can put them on a shelf.
It's called Why Confession Works for You. Now some of you have heard parts of the broadcast and, and you've missed parts of it and then you probably know about fifteen people that needs this series and it's available to you. That's offer number 2413. It's four audio cassettes for $20.
We have a toll free order line. It's 1-877-396-9400. That's 1-877-396-9400. The Why Confession Works, why the confession of the Word of God, saying the same thing that God says in the Word will get into you, become a part of you, it'll actually change your attitude, begin to keep the answer before you, causes faith to come, and renews your mind to the Word of God.
You remember the Apostle Paul said, be not conformed to the world. Now the Greek says it this way: Don't be squeezed into the world's mold. In other words, this world is in a negative stream and any old dead fish can float downstream but it takes a live one to go up stream and, and if you're going to be negative in life, you can float right on downstream where all those dead fish are going to be drifted up down there. That'll give you some incentive to get on the Word of God and go upstream and begin to say some things the way God says it.
Now it gets in your spirit and God will lead you by your spirit to be in the right place at the right time for the right situation, and by the way I missed the punch line on that lot they sold. They sold it to a minister that was going to build a church on it. (Laughing) I. Thought that was good.
Praise God. Now that's tape offer number 2413, four audio cassettes for $20. Until next time this is Charles Capps reminding you (MUSIC) that the enemy is defeated, God is exalted, and JESUS is Lord, and He's coming very soon. Are you ready? He's coming.

In the homily you gave in Marquette you mention pursuing an examination of conscience in the eyes of your guardian angel An external objective examination. A beautiful thought. Padre Pio heard up to 19 hours of confessions a day. How do we get priests and faithful back into the confessional? Well that is a very, very good question and a very important question.
And we need to have a renewal and a revitalization of this sacrament in the Church. And quite honestly this is something Pope Francis really asked for in the year of mercy that we just finished. You know there was such a great focus on the spiritual and the corporal works of mercy during the year of mercy, which is true and good in and of itself But I think part of the message was lost. Part of Pope Francis' message was lost.
First was for us to receive mercy You know we are the recipients of God's mercy. The forgiveness of our sins and freedom from sin and death. This is God's great gift to us who otherwise would be lost for all eternity. He in his mercy reached out to save us.
And so we need to receive His mercy first And then we become the agents of His mercy to others both in forgiveness and reconciliation, but also in those spiritual and corporal works of mercy. And he called for a renewal in the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. And this is a Sacrament that sadly has fallen on hard times. Not in all places.
I can tell you there are parishes in my archdiocese that hear confessions regularly and people are lined up to go to confession. And that's one of the keys. I think that from the priests' side of things I need to challenge priests really to do three things First is go to confession yourselves. Priests need to be good penitents first.
The best confessors are those that are good penitents and who use the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation regularly. Regularly. Have a spiritual director, we hope. And celebrate the Sacrament on a regular basis.
You know, no less than once a month. And more often if necessary and if possible. So priests themselves need to first of all become penitents and to appreciate the gift of the Sacrament themselves for their own sins. Secondly, they need to preach about it.
They need to teach more about the importance of this Sacrament. The more we preach about it, the more we encourage our people the more we talk about the necessity of this Sacrament especially for mortal sin, but even for the growing in the spiritual life and the slow overcoming of our venial sins We need to be clear in our teaching and preaching about it So that encourages our people. I keeps us before our people. And then thirdly, priests need to make themselves available in the Sacrament.
Make themselves available. You know and it's slow going at first. I experienced this in my last parish before I become bishop. When I came into the parish the practice of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Penance was practically nonexistent.
And I just began preaching about it and sharing my own experience I would tell the people that I go to confession as Archbishop. I may be an archbishop, but I go to confession probably at least twice a month. And people are kinda surprised to hear that but we share our own experience and make ourselves available I began preaching about it and I began just hanging out in the confessional. And yeah, I got a lot of reading done at first in the confessional.
But then people began to know I was there and they knew that if they came, I would be there. And it began to grow and grow and I kept having to expand the confession time. And this is the experience in many parishes. If you make yourself available and as soon as people become aware that at a given time they can count on the fact that if I go over to the church at this time, there will be the opportunity for confession.
I heard a priest once say to a group of priests Fathers, he said. I'm sorry, but Tuesday evening from 7 to 7:30 and any time by appointment is not making yourself available in the Sacrament of Penance So the priests can do those three things. Become penitents. Good penitents.
Go to confession themselves regularly. Preach about it, teach about it, and make themselves available. The faithful, hopefully being catechized, will begin to understand the importance of that. And the faithful need to recognize that it is still in the Catechism of the Catholic Church especially for mortal sin.
Sin that is a grave matter and is done with full knowledge and full consent of the will. Mortal sin cuts us off from the life of God and the only way to be reconciled, the only ordinary way, is through the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. So the people also need to respond and realize their responsibility to be recipients of that Sacrament as well. I'm hoping for a great renaissance in the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation myself..
