The 3 Steps That Will SAVE Us (8 minutes)

says when someone does when there's a decree from sham that's a heavy decree that's a terrible decree three things can change and turn Tides turn to suffering into something completely different doing chuva praying and giving now doing CH we've talked about several times throughout the last few days as I told you that was written well before the somewhere around 2500 years ago tells us that the reward we get in this world is for our effort our genuine effort not necessarily for our execution cuz even though we have 600 13 biblical mitv another seven rabinal mitv no one person can fulfill all 620 not because it's okay to fail but rather because it's not for any one person not everyone is a Ken not everyone is a woman not everyone is in Israel you have somewhere around a third of them is what we're actually responsible for but most people don't even know 50 by heart if you ask most people even if they're religious from birth you ask them name 100 mitv by heart out of the 613 a lot of people won't know it by heart if you tell them do you remember this one they'll probably say yes but knowing it by heart is a different story so how do we do it how do we fulfill it if we don't even know them the key is to learn but the second part is to make sure that we are considering the fact that Hashem is watching at all times and we are being genuine with our chuva we are being 100% real with ourselves and not lying to ourselves and thinking that we're fooling Hashem in the process of whether our next action and our next step is a mitvah or it's when you're stealing you know you're stealing when you're cheating you know you're cheating no woman that walks around with a mini skirt or a tight dress thinks that she's modest even if she says she is you know you're not why because you know what modesty looks like it's not defined by a dress that's the second layer of skin same thing with someone that's not honest he knows he's not being honest even if he's lying to himself and convincing himself that he's a sadik he acts inside he knows he's not honest so you have to be real with yourself why because when you get up to Sham you can't lie to them and you definitely can't lie to Hashem this is why our effort our genuine effort is what counts Hashem knows what you can and you can't do and what level you stand he knows that at this point you just started doing Chua for him to expect you to learn 12 hours a day is just not realistic he created you he knows you but he knows you could learn an hour maybe even an hour and a half and if you spend that hour hour and a half watching a baseball game you'll get punished for it why because you could have learned for an hour an hour and a half and eventually got to 12 hours eventually got to 2 hours even you missed out on a reward you missed out on an opportunity and you missed your purpose in life for that hour and a half you watched baseball or football or some other stupid sport of people throwing a ball and get paid $25 million a year to do that and everyone talking about how much money they make for some reason so we know the chva first step has to be serious it's time to wake up you know if you're praying or you're just here to socialize you come to besset If you're looking at a magazine during a you're not praying you're looking at a magazine if you come to besset and you know everybody's name by heart and you know what everybody does for a living and how much he makes he makes he makes he makes he makes you didn't come here to pray you came here to socialize if you don't even notice who's sitting next to you for the last 3 months there's a possibility that you are praying because the only thing that matters in a bet is Hashem that's it the only thing that matters if you came to pray to hem you fulfilled the second part that's if at some point the mom cries over her children and asks Hashem for mercy to help her kids do chuva now you're praying mom but if you're encouraging your kid to go to a vacation on Cancun because he needs a good time because his girlfriend just broke up with him you're not being a good mother that's not praying there's many parents that are doing that so no no she just broke his heart go goab go go to k and find three girlfriends this weekend go you need for relaxation the psychiatrist who paid $400 an hour told us so the same one that tells people that they could have two wives and three wives at the same time so we know the second part has to be serious it's time for us to pray women you have a much easier time to cry use that Talent use it it it's a privilege it's the only gate in heaven that doesn't close the tears of a mother you have children that going through struggles you have a husband that doesn't know why he's alive you have relatives that have no clue what's the purpose you love am Isel start crying cry to hasem because that's the only thing that's going to save us at the end of times it's what saved us in Egypt it's what's going to save us before the mhia comes your tears if you don't use that Talent you're wasting it give it to me please you cry when you just any time no obviously we cry with a purpose don't just cry complain to I don't have a million dollar today on cry but cry for real reason cry for is cry for your children to become cry for your husband to become a cry for a purpose cry for people to do ch cry for you to do Chua cry to connect to hem I can't tell this to men because it's not cool to cry so okay so we know what is let's start using it step two these are obviously a brief description of each step if we cover the details of each one we'll be here till next week and my flight's tomorrow morning the next place is the one that I want to spend the rest of the sh talking about and that'sa not because I'm looking fora if anyone wants to give they're more than welcome to but that's not the reason I'm mentioning it the reason I'm mentioning it is because that's what we started this sh with and that's the very same reason we've gotten into trouble for the last 3,300 plus years money money is this generation's version ofak is like a bad word in Hebrew people think that if they give a dollar to the homeless guy they're the fact that they have a million and a half dollar house and a portfolio that's worth more money than they need they don't consider that to be inappropriate it's okay to have nice things but it's not okay to have these nice things while the people around you that are actually trying to serve hem the people around you that are struggling to have food to feed
