| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the morning mindset. I hope you're ready to get your |
| 0:12.7 | mind aligned with the truth of God. Before we get started, I want to say thank you to |
| 0:17.3 | some very special friends, Terrence, Incindy, and Lisa and Ron. All of these have come along |
| 0:23.0 | as partners for what we're doing here at the morning mindset. You can find out more |
| 0:27.4 | about how you can become a partner at carrygreen.com. Slash partners. All right, let's dig into |
| 0:35.0 | Romans chapter 15, and we're going to do so today by revisiting one of the verses that |
| 0:40.9 | we read yesterday, and yesterday's episode, and extend into the next verse because the |
| 0:46.0 | two go together in a way that I think we need to take note of. Now, this isn't Romans |
| 0:51.1 | chapter 15 verses 24 and 25. In verse 24, Paul expresses his desire. In verse 25, we get a |
| 1:01.4 | little bit of information that those of us after the fact, after the fact historically speaking, |

| 1:24.2 | once I've enjoyed your company for a while. At present, however, I'm going to Jerusalem bringing |
| 1:30.7 | aid to the saints. Then we hear Paul expressing his desire to go to Rome. He wants to go there |
| 1:38.7 | on his way to Spain because his desire is to preach the gospel in Spain and Rome is on the way |
| 1:44.3 | from where he is. But he says, first, I'm going to take a little detour back to Jerusalem. |
| 1:50.6 | And I'm going to take some help to the people there. Now, we'll talk more in a future episode |
| 1:56.1 | about what form that helped took. But for now, let's just look at this because if you know anything |
| 2:03.2 | about Paul's journey, you know that at this point in his life, when he went back to Jerusalem as |
| 2:09.7 | he's describing here, what took place there was a huge detour that he was not expecting. |
| 2:18.1 | Because when Paul went to Jerusalem, he was arrested by the authorities. And he was imprisoned |
