- This is Jason who says,

hi, Pat,

when we sin and we askedthe Lord for forgiveness,

and we're supposed tostay away from that sin,

does this means a personis supposed to be perfect?

How can we stay away from all sins?

It's almost impossible.

- Jason, you're exactlyright, it is impossible

You know, only the Lord isperfect and God you know,

Jesus said, you know,don't call me perfect,

only God the father is perfect.

We will continue to sin you know,

but first John says, ifwe say we have not sinned,

we make God a liar.

So of course we've sinned.

But when you are forgiven,

you're forgiven in that particular area,

and if you're born of the spirit of God,

you don't keep on sinning,

whatever you're into, youjust don't keep on doing it.

But I think that answersyour question, all right?

- This is Eugene who says,

what do I have to do to findthat special woman in my life?

I'm tired of living alone in life.

It's been 56 years.

Please help me, Pat.

I read the Bible, butit never seems to help.

I love all you guys and enjoy your show.

- You remember Willie Sutton,

they said, Willie, why do you rob banks?

He said, that's where the money is.

If you're looking for amate that is compatible,

go where they are.

I mean, join a singles group somewhere.

There may be some activityin a community center.

There may be somethingthat you'd do together.

I mean, you know, look for where they are

and God puts the lonely into families,

he is the author of all families.

So he'll give you thespouse you're looking for.

So ask him.

And if you have what you're looking for,

why don't you write it down what you want?

And you know, one woman said,

I asked God for somebodywho was a handsome guy,

who would provide for me, lookafter and be a good father.

But he said,

I didn't ask you for somebodythat didn't run around.

So ask him for exactly what you want.

- Okay, this is Phillip who says,

what does it mean to quote,

take every thought captive andmake it obedient to Christ?

- You know, we have stuff going on

all the time in our minds.

We really do.

There are all kinds of thoughts.

I mean, you read books,you watch television,

you see advertisements, all this material

and you literally have to takecharge of your mind and say,

let the words of my mouth andthe meditation of my heart

be acceptable in your sight.

That means take controlof your mental processes.

Don't let your mind justgo wandering around.

That's essentially what,

make your thoughts captive,

you have a will, exercise it.

- This is Paul who says hi, Pat,

can a person who believesthey've been healed

lose their healing.

- Oh, absolutely they can lose it.

I've heard one particular story,

there's so many of them, but

there was this kid who was crippled

and he was wearing bracesand he asked for healing

and somebody laid hands on him

and he was miraculously healed.

So he's walking around withoutbraces and somebody said,

well don't you think, George,

that you should put your braces back on?

And he says, okay,

so he put them back on and.

- The healing was gone.

- The healing was gone.

So absolutely you can lose it, yeah.

- This is a viewer who says,

when someone is struggling with shame,

how can they get free fromthose feelings once and for all?

- You have to read the Bible

and see what the Bible says about you.

As far as the East is from the West,

that's how far I'vetaken your sin from you

and confess it,

you know, what are you ashamed of?

The Bible says he made a show of them

openly triumphing in his cross.

If you cover these things up,

you know I did this, I was homosexual,

I had an abortion,

I cheated on my husband,

and I was, you know,disobedient to my parent,

whatever you had, confess itand bring it before the Lord,

say, this is what I did, father,

ask forgiveness, all right?

- This is Gail who says,

I've heard you use the phrase

God is no respecter of persons.

I'm confused as to what that means.

Could you explain?

- Well, a respecter of persons means

a particular person has aprivilege with God and God says,

no, no,

they're all equal beforeme, I love them all.

So you think, well, he's special.

You know, this guy'son TV so he's special,

God's no respecter of persons,

he does not respect anyparticularly individual.
