| 0:00.0 | Hey, my friends. Welcome back to the morning mind set, Kerry Green here. I hope you're |
| 0:07.7 | doing well. And I hope you understand that when I call you friends, I'm not saying that |
| 0:12.9 | just to some sort of a schmuzi trick or something like that. I really think of you as friends |
| 0:18.9 | because we are citizens of the kingdom of heaven together. We're siblings of the family |
| 0:24.6 | of God. And you and I, as each of us grow in our relationship with God, increase the |
| 0:30.5 | health of the entire body of Christ. And so I see us working together like friends would |
| 0:36.0 | in a common goal and a common project to advance the kingdom of God. So friends, I'm glad |
| 0:41.4 | you're with me today. I want to remind you coming up on Friday is our pray together episode. |
| 0:46.2 | If you haven't request or concern, you would like us to pray about together as a morning |
| 0:51.7 | mind set family of friends, you can submit your request by going to Kerry Green dot com slash |

| 1:10.4 | into it, I think you're going to find Jesus has some very insightful things to say as always. |
| 1:16.2 | Jesus says in this sermon on the Mount where he's describing the attitude and heart direction |
| 1:23.0 | of kingdom citizens, he says the eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is healthy, your whole |
| 1:31.2 | body will be full of light. Okay, let's stop for a moment. I don't believe Jesus is talking about |
| 1:36.9 | your physical eye being healthy here. So you don't have to worry if you have stigmatism or |
| 1:42.0 | cataract or if you have some sort of a problem with your eyes, he's not saying you're just out of |
| 1:46.8 | luck here. What he saying is your eye represents your desires. I mean, think about it. When you look |
| 1:55.3 | on certain things, when you when you look out and you see something that someone else has that |
| 1:59.5 | it's really cool, you may develop a desire for that kind of a thing. So the eye kind of represents |
| 2:06.0 | what your heart desires, the direction in which your desires and your intentions and your |
