Tune In For A LIVE Q&A With Grant Williams And Marc Cohodes | Real Vision™ - Duration: 1:17.

12 months ago, I traveled to a chicken farm in Sonoma County, California, to talk with

legendary short seller, Marc Cohodes about the pressures involved in building a career

around his chosen discipline.

During that conversation, Marc highlighted one company which he called the biggest fraud

he'd ever seen.

In the 12 months since Marc and I had this conversation, the MiMedx story has exploded,

taking one amazing turn after another.

And so I decided to sit down again with Marc to follow up on what was an incredible conversation.

You can watch Marc tell the full story of his fight with MiMedx exclusively on Real

Vision, with a 14 day free trial today.

If you haven't yet watched my first extraordinary conversation with Marc, we're giving you the

opportunity to watch it in full for free on our YouTube channel.

That'll be followed by live Q&A with both Marc and myself, where you can ask us all

your burning questions.

So please join us this Saturday, February the 2nd, at 7 PM EST.

Godly Wisdom for Your Finances | Enjoying Everyday Life - Duration: 28:32.

ANNOUNCER: THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE

BY THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.

[MUSIC]

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: WELL, WELCOME TO "ENJOYING EVERYDAY LIFE."

I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE WITH US TODAY AND GLAD TO HAVE OUR

STUDIO AUDIENCE HERE WITH US, SO I'VE GOT SOME PEOPLE

TO TALK TO HERE IN THE STUDIO AS WELL AS TALKING TO ALL OF YOU

BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, HANDSOME, AMAZING PEOPLE THAT ARE WATCHING

THE PROGRAM TODAY.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU REALLY ARE AMAZING.

GOD CREATED YOU WITH HIS VERY OWN HAND, AND HE'S GOT A REALLY,

REALLY, REALLY GOOD PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE.

AND I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU WATCHING TODAY,

YOU'RE PROBABLY HURTING, AND YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF

DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE, BUT I WANT YOU

TO KNOW THAT DON'T EVER THINK THAT NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU

BECAUSE GOD CARES ABOUT YOU.

HE SEES YOU.

HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE, AND HE HAS ALREADY

PLANNED YOUR PRISON BREAK.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LISTEN TO HIM AND KNOW EXACTLY THAT

HE LOVES YOU, THAT HE CARES ABOUT YOU, THAT YOUR SINS ARE

FORGIVEN, AND THAT WHATEVER'S HOLDING YOU IN BONDAGE,

WHATEVER'S GOT YOU IN SOME KIND OF EMOTIONAL PRISON

OR MENTAL PRISON OR FINANCIAL PRISON,

THAT GOD HAS GOT A WAY FOR YOU TO GET OUT.

TODAY I WANNA TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT MONEY.

DO YOU KNOW THAT JESUS SAID MORE ABOUT MONEY

THAN HE DID HEAVEN OR HELL?

I THINK THAT'S INTERESTING, IN OVER HALF OF THE PARABLES,

JESUS TALKS ABOUT MONEY.

SO MONEY IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S A BAD THING TO TALK ABOUT.

MATTER OF FACT, I THINK IF WE TALKED ABOUT IT

IN A RIGHT WAY A LITTLE MORE THAN WHAT WE DO

PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE A LOT LESS TROUBLE WITH IT,

AND I JUST WANT US TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THAT THIS

DOES AND ALL THE THINGS THAT IT CAUSES.

THIS BUYS THINGS.

TO GET THIS, PEOPLE STEAL.

THEY LIE.

THEY MISTREAT PEOPLE.

SOME PEOPLE WILL EVEN KILL TO GET IT.

PEOPLE COMMIT ALL KINDS OF CRIMES TO GET IT.

DIVORCES ARE CAUSED BECAUSE OF IT.

TO GET MORE OF IT, PEOPLE SOMETIMES DON'T PAY

ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THEIR CHILDREN.

I DON'T THINK IT'S QUITE AS IMPORTANT AS WE MAKE IT

OUT TO BE.

AND WE ALL KNOW THAT WE DO NEED MONEY.

IT'S WHAT WE USE IN THE WORLD TODAY TO GET THE THINGS THAT

WE NEED, BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO COME TO AN UNDERSTANDING

OF THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR NEEDS AND OUR WANTS.

IT'S NOT THAT WE SHOULDN'T ALL BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME OF

THE THINGS WE WANT, BUT TO BE HONEST, NOBODY NEEDS

TO HAVE EVERYTHING THAT THEY WANT.

AND THE QUEST FOR MATERIALISM AND FOR STUFF IS ACTUALLY

DESTROYING OUR SOCIETY.

GREED CAN DESTROY A FAMILY.

IT CAN DESTROY A PERSON.

IT CAN DESTROY AN ENTIRE SOCIETY.

WELL, WHAT REALLY IS GREED?

REALLY, GREED IS NO MORE THAN JUST SAYING, "NO MATTER WHAT

I HAVE I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH IT FOR VERY LONG, AND THEN

I THINK I HAVE TO HAVE MORE."

AND I BELIEVE THAT GREED IS AN EVIL SPIRIT THAT COMES

AGAINST EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US.

I'VE EXPERIENCED FEELINGS OF GREED IN MY LIFE,

AND I'VE LEARNED THE WAY TO FIGHT GREED IS WITH GENEROSITY,

AND I REALLY, TRULY MEAN THAT.

YOU CAN FIGHT GREED, YOU CAN KEEP GREED

OUT OF YOUR LIFE, BY BEING GENEROUS ON PURPOSE.

I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE BIBLE TELLS US

THAT WE ARE TO GIVE BACK A TITHE OF ALL OF OUR INCREASE

TO THE HOUSE OF GOD, WHICH THEN SHOULD BE USED

TO HELP PEOPLE.

SO, IN EFFECT, WE'RE GIVING A PART OF EVERYTHING THAT COMES

TO US TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE, AND THAT KEEPS OUR MINDS

OFF OF JUST US.

THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN JUST LIVING A SELFISH,

SELF-CENTERED LIFE THAT'S TOTALLY ABSORBED IN

"WHAT CAN I DO, AND WHAT CAN I GET?"

AND I WANT MORE OF IT.

AND THEN HAVING TO HAVE SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY

ELSE YOU KNOW HAS ONE, AND MAYBE THEY CAN AFFORD ONE,

AND YOU CAN'T AFFORD ONE.

BUT YOU FIND SOME MANIPULATIVE WAY TO GET ONE JUST SO YOU CAN

FEEL LIKE YOU'RE AS GOOD AS THEY ARE, AND IT'S JUST REALLY KINDA

FOOLISH IF YOU LOOK AT IT, THE IMPORTANCE THAT WE PLACE

ON THINGS.

DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS THAT EVERY SINGLE THING

THAT WE GO PURCHASE, EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WE HAVE,

IS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF DECAY.

SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THE CAR THAT YOU BUY

IS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF DECAY.

THE HOME YOU BUY IS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF DECAY.

AND IF YOU DON'T THINK IT IS JUST GO DRIVE BY A JUNKYARD

SOMEWHERE AND REALIZE THAT WHAT IS NOW A PILE OF JUNK

AT ONE TIME WAS SOMEBODY'S DREAM,

AND THERE'S NO TELLING THE PRICE THAT THEY MAY HAVE PAID

IN FAMILY, IN RELATIONSHIPS, IN DOING DAMAGE TO THEIR HEALTH,

IN LOTS OF THINGS IN ORDER TO GET THAT THING THAT IS NOW

LAYING IN A JUNKYARD SOMEWHERE AND HAS NO VALUE TO THEM AT ALL.

NOW OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE DON'T WANNA HAVE

NICE THINGS.

I BELIEVE GOD WANTS US TO HAVE NICE THINGS, BUT I DO BELIEVE

THAT THERE'S A VERY CLEAR DIRECTION IN THE WORD OF GOD IN

PSALM 37:4 THAT SAYS THAT, "IF WE DELIGHT OURSELVES

IN THE LORD, HE WILL GIVE US THE DESIRES OF OUR HEART."

AND THE GREAT THING ABOUT GOD IS WE CAN TRUST HIM TO GIVE US

WHAT IS SAFE FOR US.

THE FLESH FIGHTS AGAINST WISDOM.

WE HAVE WISDOM IN US FROM GOD, AND WE HAVE TO LEARN HOW

TO BE LED BY THE SPIRIT.

SO WE CAN'T LET THE FLESH RULE, AND WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT IT

WILL IF WE DON'T STAND UP TO IT.

SO IT'S GOOD TO TRUST GOD TO GIVE WHAT IS SAFE FOR US TO

HAVE, AND I PRAY ALL THE TIME, "GOD, I WANT YOU TO GIVE ME

ANYTHING YOU WANT ME TO HAVE, BUT IF I ASK YOU FOR SOMETHING

AND IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR ME, THEN I'M ASKING YOU NOW

NOT TO GIVE IT TO ME."

NOW FOR THOSE OF YOU WATCHING BY TV, CAN YOU JUST START

TO DO THAT?

THAT'S A BOLD WAY TO PRAY AND NOT, "GOD, I WANT THIS.

I HAVE TO HAVE THIS. I NEED THIS.

I CAN'T BE HAPPY WITHOUT THIS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME THIS."

BUT, "GOD, I'D LIKE TO HAVE THIS, AND I'M ASKING YOU

FOR IT," BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS YOU CAN ASK GOD FOR ANYTHING,

"ASK ME FOR ANYTHING," "YOU HAVE NOT BECAUSE

YOU ASK NOT."

BUT THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THAT IS IF YOU'RE REALLY TRUSTING

GOD AND ABIDING IN HIM, YOU CAN TRUST THAT EVEN IF YOU

ASK FOR SOMETHING THAT'S NOT RIGHT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW

OR IT'S THE WRONG TIME, YOU CAN TRUST GOD NOT TO GIVE IT

TO YOU, AND THAT'S NOT REALLY EVEN A NO.

IT'S JUST, "I'VE GOT SOMETHING BETTER FOR YOU,

AND YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO ASK FOR THAT YET."

IT'S A WONDERFUL THING TO NOT CRAVE POSSESSIONS,

TO ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE BUT TO NOT CRAVE THEM TO THE

POINT WHERE YOU CANNOT BE HAPPY WITHOUT THEM.

SO I WANNA TALK TO YOU TODAY ABOUT BECOMING DEBT FREE,

AND I KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE PROBABLY DON'T EVEN HAVE

IN YOUR MIND THAT THAT WOULD EVER BE A POSSIBILITY FOR YOU.

BUT I WANT YOU TO NEVER STOP BELIEVING IN MIRACLES,

AND A MIRACLE DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN THAT THERE'S NOTHING

FOR YOU TO DO.

IT MEANS THAT GOD WILL DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN'T DO,

BUT HE'S GONNA ASK YOU TO DO WHAT YOU CAN DO.

SO YOU MIGHT SAY, "WELL, YOU KNOW,

I CAN'T DO THIS AND THAT.

I CAN'T GIVE THIS AND THAT."

BUT WHAT CAN YOU GIVE?

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

IF WE START DOING WHAT WE CAN DO

AND WE DO IT TO HONOR GOD AND TO GLORIFY HIM,

NOW WE'VE GOT A WAY TO PRAY AND SAY, "GOD, I NEED A MIRACLE

FROM YOU."

BUT GOD'S NOT GONNA GIVE US A MIRACLE WHILE WE LAY ON THE

COUCH AND EAT DOUGHNUTS AND WATCH SOAP OPERAS ALL DAY.

YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU'RE IN DEBT

AND YOU WANNA GET OUT, THEN THAT MEANS YOU'RE PROBABLY

GONNA NEED A JOB AND MAYBE A JOB AND A HALF

OR MAYBE TWO JOBS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME,

AND IT MEANS THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO GO BUY

EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE THAT YOU WANT.

AND YOU MAY HAVE TO CUT UP ALL THE CREDIT CARDS.

YOU KNOW, I THINK SOME PEOPLE NEED PLASTIC SURGERY

AND IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN WHAT WE THINK ABOUT IT.

THEY NEED TO GET OUT THE SCISSORS AND CUT UP ALL

THOSE LITTLE PLASTIC CARDS THAT ARE CHARGED UP TO THE MAX

THAT THEY'RE PAYING ALL KINDS OF INTEREST ON PAYING FOR STUFF

THAT THEY COULDN'T EVEN FIND IT IN THEIR HOUSE IF THEY WENT

TO LOOK FOR IT RIGHT NOW.

AND SO WE ARE REALLY ADDICTED TO STUFF, AND WE DON'T WANNA BE.

LET'S TRUST GOD TO GIVE US WHAT WE REALLY NEED.

JAMES DOBSON SAID HE GOT A GREAT REVELATION

WHILE PLAYING THE BOARD GAME MONOPOLY.

HE WAS PLAYING IT VERY AGGRESSIVELY, GETTING HOMES,

TURNING 'EM INTO HOTELS, TAKING EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE

ELSE HAD, PUTTING THEM OUT OF THE GAME.

SOON EVERYONE HAD LOST EVERYTHING THEY HAD,

AND HE HAD IT ALL.

ISN'T THAT OUR GOAL IN LIFE?

AS HE STARTED PUTTING THE GAME AWAY, HE BEGAN THROWING

THE PIECES BACK IN THE BOX WHEN HE SUDDENLY REALIZED

SOMETHING.

WHEN OUR LIVES ARE OVER, EVERYTHING WE HAVE GAINED

WILL SIMPLY GO BACK IN THE BOX, AND SOMEONE ELSE WILL COME ALONG

AND START ALL OVER WITH IT.

WHY NOT SPEND YOUR LIFE DOING SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO

LAST, AMEN?

NOW, YOU KNOW, SADLY A LARGE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE, ANYONE WHO

DOESN'T KNOW THE WORD OF GOD, DOESN'T HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT WHAT

I'M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

THEY JUST THINK THAT THE WHOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO SEE HOW

MUCH STUFF YOU CAN GET AND WALK ALL OVER WHOEVER YOU NEED TO

WALK ALL OVER TO GET IT, AND WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE

ARE NOT LIKE THAT IN THE CHURCH.

THE BIBLE NEVER SAYS THAT MONEY IS EVIL.

IT SAYS, "THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL."

WE CAN ENJOY OUR MONEY, BUT WE SHOULD NOT LOVE OUR MONEY

TO THE POINT WHERE WE LOVE IT MORE THAN WE LOVE PEOPLE.

I MEAN I THINK WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE WHO, IN ORDER TO GET

MONEY, MISTREAT PEOPLE.

AND I THINK WE NEED TO USE MONEY TO BLESS PEOPLE,

NOT USE PEOPLE TO GET MONEY.

I THINK I'M GONNA SAY THAT AGAIN.

I THINK WE NEED TO USE MONEY TO BLESS PEOPLE,

NOT USE PEOPLE TO GET MONEY.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT GOD WOULD PUT ANYTHING IN A PERSON'S HANDS

THAT WOULD CAUSE THEM AS MUCH TORMENT AS MONEY HAS CAUSED

IN OUR WORLD IF HE DIDN'T INTEND THEM FOR IT TO BE A BLESSING.

TWO BOOKS I RECOMMEND FOR RESEARCH, "MONEY CAME

BY THE HOUSE THE OTHER DAY," BY ROBERT KATZ

AND "FINANCIAL PEACE" BY DAVE RAMSEY.

I'VE HAD BOTH OF THESE MEN ON MY TV SHOW, AND THEY HAVE

DETAILED PLANS ON WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET OUT OF DEBT.

AND THEY WILL WORK FOR ANYBODY WHO WORKS THE PLAN.

WE EVEN HAVE PEOPLE WORKING RIGHT HERE

WHO READ THE MATERIAL.

AND I KNOW OF ONE CASE WHERE PEOPLE WERE DEEP IN DEBT AND HAD

PROBLEMS WITH THAT ALL THEIR LIFE AND NOW THEY ARE OUT OF

DEBT AND IT'S SO FREEING.

MOST PEOPLE IF THEY GET A RAISE, BEFORE THEY EVER GET THAT EXTRA

MONEY ON THEIR FIRST PAYCHECK, THEY GO FIND SOMETHING TO BUY.

"OH, AND NOW WE CAN GET THIS.

WELL, NOW WE CAN GET THIS."

AND SO THEN THEY'RE ALREADY MAKING A--THEY'RE ALREADY MAKING

A PAYMENT ON SOMETHING BEFORE THEY EVEN GET THE MONEY.

WELL, WHY NOT SAY, "WELL, I'M GONNA GET A RAISE THIS YEAR

AT WORK SO I'M GONNA TAKE THAT EXTRA MONEY NOW AND PAY IT ON

THIS BILL," INSTEAD OF GOING AND BUYING SOMETHING ELSE?

"WELL, THEN I DON'T GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT."

WELL, YEAH, YOU DO, DOWN THE ROAD,

YOU GET TO BE DEBT FREE.

AND SEE, THE PROBLEM IS IS WE WANT INSTANT GRATIFICATION.

WE REALLY WANT EVERYTHING TO-- "I WANT IT TO FEEL GOOD

RIGHT NOW."

BUT WHAT ABOUT LATER?

NO DISCIPLINE FOR THE PRESENT SEEMS JOYOUS, NEVERTHELESS

LATER ON--CAN SOMEBODY CHEER FOR LATER ON?

NEVERTHELESS, LATER ON IT YIELDETH THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF

RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY IT.

SCRIPTURE, HEBREWS CHAPTER 12.

DISCIPLINE DOESN'T FEEL GOOD RIGHT NOW.

BEFORE I CAME HERE TODAY, I HAD MY WORKOUT AT THE GYM

AND IT WAS LOWER BODY DAY.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

JOYCE: AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT WAS NOT FUN.

AT ABOUT 3 O'CLOCK TOMORROW AFTERNOON, I WILL BE SORE,

I AM SURE.

BUT I TELL YOU WHAT, WHEN I CAN GET THOSE JEANS ON THAT I BOUGHT

AND BE COMFORTABLE IN THEM, MMM-MMM, I'M GONNA BE GLAD THEN.

AND SO WE HAVE TO STOP JUST BEING INSTANTLY GRATIFIED.

WHEN YOU GO OUT SHOPPING, DON'T GO BUY THINGS EMOTIONALLY.

I REMEMBER AN EXPERIENCE THAT I HAD AND I'LL NEVER

FORGET THIS.

I HAD SAVED SOME MONEY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I HAD, MAYBE A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

I'D SAVED FOR A LONG TIME AND HAD THIS MONEY.

AND SO I REALLY WANTED AND NEEDED A NEW WATCH.

AND SO WE WENT OUT SHOPPING, WENT INTO A JEWELRY STORE.

THEY HAD THIS BEAUTIFUL WATCH THERE.

OF COURSE, THE SALESMAN SAID, "IT'S ONLY ON SALE TODAY.

GOES OFF SALE AT 5 O'CLOCK.

THE STORE'S CLOSING IN 2 HOURS.

OH, THIS LOOKS GREAT ON YOU."

AND THERE WAS ALL THIS PRESSURE TO GET IT RIGHT NOW.

WELL, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE DISCOVERED

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THEY DO TO THE LIGHTS IN STORES,

BUT I CAN TELL YOU STUFF LOOKS BETTER IN THE STORES THAN

IT DOES WHEN YOU GET IT HOME.

I MEAN, I'VE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE.

I'LL BUY IT IN THE STORE AND THEN GO HOME WITH IT AND THINK,

"WELL, THIS DON'T LOOK AS GOOD AS I THOUGHT IT DID.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?" IT'S GOT SOMETHING TO DO

WITH THE KIND OF LIGHTS THAT THEY HAVE.

SO YOU BETTER TAKE THAT BABY SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU'RE

LOOKING AT IT IN REAL LIGHT BEFORE YOU TAKE IT HOME.

BUT ANYWAY, IT WAS PRETTY AND I ALMOST BOUGHT IT.

IT WAS GONNA TAKE ALL MY MONEY.

AND SO I SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT?" 'CAUSE I WAS--BY THEN, I WAS

STARTING TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT FROM GOD ABOUT HOW TO WAIT

AND HOW TO WALK IN WISDOM.

AND I SAID, "I'M GONNA JUST WALK AROUND OUT HERE IN THE MALL FOR

A LITTLE BIT AND IF I WANT IT, I'LL COME BACK

BEFORE THE STORE CLOSES."

"WELL, YOU KNOW NOW THIS IS ONLY TODAY AND YOU CAN ONLY GET

IT TODAY," AND YOU KNOW.

I SAID, "I'LL COME BACK IF I WANT IT."

DON'T GET TALKED INTO DOING STUFF THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO.

DON'T GET TALKED INTO DOING STUFF THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO.

DON'T FOLLOW YOUR EMOTIONS, FOLLOW THE LEADERSHIP

OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

SO I TOOK A LITTLE WALK AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING WHEN YOU GET

AWAY FROM THE LOOK OF SOMETHING, HOW YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARD IT

BEGINS TO CHANGE.

AND SO WHILE I WAS WALKING IN THE MALL, I SAW THIS DRESS

IN THE WINDOW.

IT WAS ACTUALLY A SUIT.

I LOVED IT.

OH, MY GOSH.

I MEAN, IT HAD JUST THE RIGHT LITTLE THING IN THE BACK.

I LIKE THESE SUITS THAT KIND OF FIT YOU AT THE WAIST

AND BACK THEN THEY HAD LITTLE RUFFLES BACK HERE.

AND I JUST--OH, THAT WAS SO CUTE.

AND THEN MY HUSBAND DIDN'T HELP, HE SAID, "OH, THAT'S GONNA

LOOK SO GOOD ON YOU.

YOU GOTTA TRY THAT ON."

SO I SAID, "WELL, IF I GET THAT, I CAN'T GET THE WATCH."

AND HE SAID, "WELL, JUST TRY IT ON."

SO I TRIED IT ON AND SURE ENOUGH, IT LOOKED ABSOLUTELY

AMAZING ON ME.

NOW I HAD A PROBLEM.

AM I GONNA GET THE SUIT, AM I GONNA GET THE WATCH?

SO AGAIN I SAID, "I'M GONNA TAKE A WALK OUT IN THE MALL

AND I WILL COME BACK AND LET YOU KNOW."

AND HONESTLY, I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH, WHILE I WAS WALKING

OUT IN THE MALL SAYING, "GOD, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

WHICH ONE, YOU KNOW, WHICH ONE SHOULD I GET?"

THE THING THAT CAME TO MY HEART WAS MORE THAN I WANTED THE WATCH

AND MORE THAN I WANTED THE SUIT, I WANTED TO KEEP MY MONEY SO

I WOULD HAVE THE LIBERTY TO GO TO LUNCH IF I WANTED TO, TAKE A

FRIEND TO LUNCH IF I WANTED TO.

THE THOUGHTS OF HAVING THAT $200 THAT I COULD SPEND IN LITTLE

PIECES OVER A PERIOD OF TIME WAS MUCH MORE DELIGHTFUL TO ME

THAN BUYING EITHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS AND THEN HAVING NOTHING.

SO I OBEYED GOD, DIDN'T GET EITHER ONE AND LO AND BEHOLD,

MY HUSBAND CAME HOME IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH THAT SUIT.

SO YOU SEE, IF WE WAIT ON GOD, GOD WILL DO FOR US WHAT WE WILL

NOT DO FOR OURSELVES OR SHOULD NOT BE DOING FOR OURSELVES.

SO THE BIBLE SAYS IN PROVERBS 27:23, "BE DILIGENT TO

KNOW THE STATE OF YOUR FLOCKS, AND LOOK WELL TO YOUR HERDS."

WELL, OBVIOUSLY MOST OF YOU DON'T HAVE FLOCKS OR HERDS.

WELL, WHAT WAS HE SAYING?

IF YOU GOT A FIELD FULL OF SHEEP OUT THERE, KNOW HOW MANY'S

OUT THERE.

IF YOU GOT A FIELD FULL OF COWS OUT THERE, DO YOU KNOW

HOW MANY THAT YOU HAVE?

WELL, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY YOU REALLY HAVE?

YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOUR FIXED ASSETS ARE, WHAT YOUR ASSETS ARE

THAT YOU COULD TURN INTO CASH RIGHT AWAY IF YOU NEEDED TO,

WHAT ASSETS DO YOU HAVE THAT YEAH, THEY'RE NICE AND THEY'RE

WORTH SOMETHING BUT YOU PROBABLY COULDN'T EVEN SELL THEM

EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO.

I MEAN, I'VE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE BEFORE.

I'VE GOTTEN TALKED INTO INVESTING IN THINGS THAT PEOPLE

SAID, "OH, MAN, THIS IS WORTH THUS AND SO AND I'M GONNA

GIVE IT TO YOU FOR THIS."

I REMEMBER BUYING AN ANTIQUE ONE TIME.

IT WAS LIKE THIS BIG DECORATOR PIECE FROM THE VICTORIAN AGE,

AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS SO PRETTY.

IT WAS LIKE THIS BIG HORSE AND CARRIAGE AND

IT HAD SOMEBODY'S NAME ON IT AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FAMOUS.

"AND THERE'S ONLY SO MANY OF THESE LEFT IN THE WORLD.

AND BOY, YOU CAN ENJOY THIS.

AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE READY TO SELL IT, IT WILL BE WORTH

THUS AND SO AND THUS AND SO."

WELL, TIME WENT BY AND I GOT TIRED OF THAT KIND OF ARTWORK,

DIDN'T WANT IT ANYMORE SO I THOUGHT, NOW I'M GONNA

MAKE MYSELF SOME MONEY.

WELL THE PROBLEM IS NOBODY WANTED IT.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

JOYCE: AND SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE THAT YOU THINK IS WORTH

SOMETHING, IF NOBODY WANTS IT-- I DID THAT WITH A PAINTER.

THAT WAS A PAINTER THAT WAS REAL POPULAR.

I MEAN, I WASN'T SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON THESE PICTURES

BUT, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS,

TWO OR THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

AND PEOPLE WOULD SAY, "OH, MAN, 20 YEARS FROM NOW, THESE

PAINTINGS ARE GONNA BE WORTH $3,000, $4,000, $60-,

YOU KNOW, $50,000."

WELL, HERE AGAIN, I HAD A WHOLE BUNCH OF THESE THINGS AND THEN

THE GUY WASN'T SO POPULAR AND NOBODY HARDLY KNEW WHO HE WAS,

AND NOW YOU CAN'T EVEN HARDLY GIVE THEM AWAY.

AND SO WE HAVE TO REALIZE WHAT IS REALLY AN ASSET THAT CAN BE

TURNED INTO CASH AND WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY

YOU OWN IT BUT IT REALLY IS NOT REALLY WORTH ANYTHING.

KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU OWE.

WRITE DOWN HOW MUCH YOU MAKE AND WRITE DOWN HOW MUCH YOU OWE

AND DON'T LEAVE OUT ANYTHING.

AND DON'T KEEP ADDING TO THE "I OWE" SIDE

WHEN THE "I MAKE" SIDE IS NOT GETTING BIGGER TOO.

KNOW THE STATE OF YOUR FLOCKS.

DO YOU REALLY OWN SOMETHING OR DOES IT JUST OWN YOU?

LET'S DON'T BE WHAT PEOPLE FONDLY CALL CONSUMER CRAZY,

HAVING TO HAVE STUFF, STUFF, STUFF, STUFF, STUFF.

LET ME READ YA A STORY.

THIS IS WRITTEN BY ADELINE HAWS, H-A-W-S.

IT'S CALLED "THE ROOSTER AND THE HEN."

"SAID THE LITTLE RED ROOSTER, BELIEVE ME THINGS ARE TOUGH.

SEEMS THE WORMS ARE GETTING SCARCER AND

I JUST CAN'T FIND ENOUGH.

WHAT'S BECOME OF ALL THOSE FAT ONES?

IT'S A MYSTERY TO ME.

THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF THEM THROUGH THE RAINY SPELL,

BUT NOW WHERE CAN THEY BE?" SO THAT'S THE PERSON WHO JUST

WANTS TO SIT AROUND AND HAVE EVERYTHING AND NOT DO VERY MUCH.

"BUT THE OLD, BLACK HEN WHO HEARD HIM DIDN'T GRUMBLE OR

COMPLAIN BECAUSE SHE HAD LIVED THROUGH LOTS OF DRY SPELLS.

SHE HAD LIVED THROUGH FLOODS OF RAIN.

SHE PICKED A NEW AND UN-DUG SPOT THE GROUND WAS HARD AND FIRM.

I MUST GO TO THE WORM, SHE SAID, BECAUSE THE WORMS

WON'T COME TO ME.

THE ROOSTER VAINLY SPENT HIS DAYS THROUGH HABIT

BY THE WAYS WHERE FAT, ROUND WORMS HAD PASSED IN SQUADS

BACK IN THE RAINY DAYS.

WHEN NIGHT FALL FOUND HIM SUPPERLESS, HE GROWLED

IN ANCIENT ROUGH.

I'M HUNGRY AS A FOWL CAN BE.

CONDITIONS SURE ARE TOUGH.

BUT THE OLD, BLACK HEN HOPPED TO HER PERCH AND DROPPED HER

EYES TO SLEEP AND MURMURED IN A DROWSY TONE, YOUNG MAN,

HEAR THIS AND WEEP.

I'M FULL OF WORMS AND HAPPY FOR I'VE EATEN LIKE A PIG.

THE WORMS WERE THERE AS ALWAYS, BUT BOY, I HAD TO DIG."

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

JOYCE: AND, YOU KNOW, THE TRUTH IS IS YOU CAN SIT

AND FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU'RE IN DEBT.

YOU CAN SAY, "WOE IS ME.

I'VE GOT ALL THESE BILLS.

I'M UNHAPPY 'CAUSE I'VE GOT ALL THESE BILLS,

AND I'M NOT PAID ENOUGH.

AND MY WIFE SPENDS TOO MUCH.

AND MY HUSBAND SPENDS TOO MUCH."

AND IT'S ALL EVERYBODY ELSE'S FAULT, EVERYBODY ELSE'S

RESPONSIBILITY.

OR YOU CAN GET SERIOUS, YOU CAN HAVE A--I ALWAYS SAY

HAVE A MEETING WITH YOURSELF.

WE'RE ALWAYS MAKING APPOINTMENTS, BUT SOMETIMES

WE DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OURSELF

AND JUST SIT DOWN AND SAY, "WHAT AM I REALLY DOING?

HOW MUCH STUFF AM I IN DEBT FOR THAT REALLY HASN'T DONE

ME ONE BIT OF GOOD?" HEY, WE ALL LIKE SOMETHING NEW

ONCE IN A WHILE.

WE ALL LIKE SOMETHING PRETTY OR, YOU KNOW, THE GUYS LIKE

SOMETHING MANLY OR WHATEVER IT IS, A NEW GOLF BALL,

A NEW SOMETHING TO THROW AROUND OR BOUNCE AROUND OR, YOU KNOW,

A NEW RAKE OR A NEW HAMMER OR WHATEVER IT IS.

AND I BELIEVE THAT GOD DOES GIVE US THE DESIRES OF OUR HEART.

AND I FOUND IN MY LIFE THAT GOD WILL KEEP PEOPLE ENCOURAGED.

IF THEY'LL BE FAITHFUL OVER THE LITTLE THAT THEY HAVE, THEN

GOD WILL BRING IN, MIRACULOUSLY, THE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU NEED.

AND I CAN TELL YOU IT IS SO MUCH MORE FUN TO TRUST GOD

AND WATCH GOD BRING YOU THINGS SUPERNATURALLY.

WHAT IF YOU REALLY NEED SOMETHING OR THERE'S SOMETHING

YOU--NOT EVEN NEED, THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'D REALLY LIKE TO

HAVE, BUT YOU'RE REFUSING TO GO OUT AND GO IN DEBT TO GET IT?

AND SUDDENLY, SOMEBODY THAT YOU WORK WITH COMES IN AND SAYS,

"YOU KNOW WHAT?

I JUST FELT LIKE GOD WANTED ME TO GIVE YOU THIS."

WELL, "AH!" MAN, YOU'RE SO EXCITED.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

THAT'S A WHOLE LOT MORE FUN THAN GOING OUT AND BUYING IT

AND A FLIPPING A CREDIT CARD AT SOMEBODY AND THEN HAVING TO PAY

IT OFF FOR THE NEXT NUMBER OF MONTHS AND FEELING KIND OF SICK

INSIDE BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOU DIDN'T DO THE RIGHT THING.

AND IF WE--NOW LISTEN TO WHAT I'M GONNA SAY--

IF WE WILL STOP GOING IN DEBT TO PROVIDE THINGS FOR OURSELF THAT

WE COULD WAIT ON, WE WILL SEE A LOT MORE MIRACLES FROM GOD.

HE WANTS TO DO MORE FOR US THAN WHAT WE'RE LETTING HIM DO, BUT

IF WE'RE GONNA GET IT THE WRONG WAY, THEN GOD WILL NOT BE ABLE

TO GIVE IT TO US THE RIGHT WAY.

AMEN?

CAN ANYBODY GIVE GOD A BIG PRAISE FOR THAT?

[APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: I LOVE 1 JOHN 2:15 THROUGH 17.

LET'S JUST LISTEN TO THIS.

"DO NOT LOVE OR CHERISH THE WORLD OR THE THINGS

THAT ARE IN THE WORLD.

FOR IF ANYONE LOVES THE WORLD, LOVE FOR THE FATHER

IS NOT IN HIM."

NOW I KNOW THAT'S STRONG.

WE'RE NOT SAYING HERE THAT PEOPLE DON'T LOVE GOD,

BUT WE'RE JUST SAYING THAT ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE,

YOU CAN SERVE GOD OR MONEY, BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA SERVE BOTH.

SO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS SERVE GOD WITH OUR MONEY AND THE MORE

WE SERVE GOD WITH OUR MONEY, THAT MEANS PUTTING GOD FIRST

IN OUR MONEY, THE MORE OF IT WE'RE GONNA HAVE.

MY HUSBAND HAS A SIMPLE, REALLY, LITTLE FORMULA THAT HE USES AND,

YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU WATCHING KNOW THIS, HOW

MANY OF YOU EVEN HERE KNOW THIS, BUT OUR MINISTRY, THE MINISTRY

HERE, JOYCE MEYER MINISTRY HAS NO DEBT.

SO THE MONEY THAT YOU GIVE CAN REALLY GO TO HELPING PEOPLE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO PAY OFF DEBT THAT WE HAVE.

EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WE HAVE IS PAID FOR, INCLUDING

THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE IN.

AND THAT IS, OF COURSE, A CREDIT TO GOD,

BUT IT'S LARGELY A CREDIT TO MY HUSBAND'S PATIENCE AND WISDOM

IN REFUSING TO BUY THINGS THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR.

AND DAVE HAS ALWAYS HAD THIS LITTLE PATTERN THAT HE FOLLOWS

WHICH IS: SAVE SOME, SPEND SOME, GIVE SOME.

AND HE SAYS THAT IF YOU TAKE WHAT YOU HAVE, YOUR MEANS--

HE CALLS THEM OUR BORDERS-- AND OUT OF WHAT YOU HAVE,

YOU GIVE SOME, YOU SAVE SOME AND YOU SPEND SOME.

AND SPENDING SOME IS IMPORTANT.

YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT FOR A WHILE IF YOU'RE

DEEP IN DEBT AND YOU NEED TO DIG YOUR WAY OUT.

YOU MAY HAVE TO DO WITHOUT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND THAT WON'T

BE A TON OF FUN, BUT YOU'LL LIVE; YOU'LL SURVIVE.

AND, YOU KNOW, GOD WILL DO SPECIAL THINGS FOR YOU.

GOD--IF YOU'LL MAKE THAT COMMITMENT, GOD WILL MAKE THINGS

HAPPEN FOR YOU AND DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT IT.

DON'T COMPLAIN, "OH, THIS IS SO HARD AND IT'S TAKING SO LONG."

NO, YOU KNOW THE BEST THING TO SAY WOULD BE, "YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DIDN'T USE WISDOM.

I GOT MYSELF INTO THIS AND WITH GOD'S HELP,

I'M GONNA GET OUT OF IT.

HE'S GONNA SHOW ME WHAT TO DO.

HE'S GONNA GIVE ME THE GRACE TO DO IT, AND I BELIEVE THAT GOD

WILL GIVE ME WHAT I NEED ALL ALONG THE WAY, INCLUDING

ANY ENCOURAGEMENT THAT I NEED.

AND GOD IS MORE THAN ABLE TO PROVIDE A FEW LITTLE THINGS FOR

ME HERE AND THERE TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING TOO DISCOURAGED."

I THINK THAT YOU'LL SEE SOME MIRACLES HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE

THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY AMAZE YOU.

SO WE HAVE TO ALWAYS LOVE GOD, LOVE HIS WORD, MORE THAN

WE LOVE THE WORLD AND MORE THAN WE LOVE MONEY.

DON'T LOVE OR CHERISH THE WORLD OR THE THINGS THAT ARE IN IT.

ENJOY THEM, BUT DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM.

I ALWAYS SAY WE NEED TO HOLD EVERYTHING LOOSELY.

WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT WE ARE NOT OWNERS, WE ARE STEWARDS.

ACTUALLY TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WE DON'T OWN ANYTHING.

EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE, WE'RE MANAGING IT FOR GOD.

WE'RE A STEWARD OF WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US,

AND WE NEED TO HANDLE IT WELL.

THE GOOD NEWS IS IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO LOVE THINGS.

WE CAN BE IN LOVE WITH GOD.

IT SAYS, "EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THE WORLD

IS CURRENTLY PASSING AWAY."

VERSE 17 SAYS, "AND THE WORLD PASSES AWAY AND DISAPPEARS, AND

WITH IT THE FORBIDDEN CRAVINGS (THE PASSIONATE DESIRES,

THE LUST) OF IT; BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF GOD AND CARRIES OUT

HIS PURPOSES IN LIFE LIVES (REMAINS) AND ABIDES FOREVER."

LET ME JUST FINISH BY SAYING, I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO BE CAREFUL

ABOUT WASTE.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY SONS TEASES ME BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND

TO THROW FOOD AWAY.

AND I JUST DON'T LIKE TO WASTE STUFF.

I EVEN KNOW A MAN ONE TIME, I HEARD THIS STORY, HE HAD SOME

FOOD LEFT OVER IN THE RESTAURANT AND HE HAD THEM BAG IT UP.

AND SOMEBODY WITH HIM SAID, "WHY ARE YOU TAKING THAT WITH YOU?

WE'RE JUST GOING BACK TO A HOTEL ROOM."

HE SAID, "OH, YOU NEVER KNOW, I MAY RUN INTO SOMEBODY

HOMELESS THAT'S HUNGRY."

WELL, HE DIDN'T GO VERY FAR AND HE SAW A HOMELESS MAN AND ASKED

HIM IF HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE FOOD THAT HE HAD LEFT OVER.

SO, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO WITH THAT YOU CAN DO

WITH IT, BUT I'M JUST SAYING WE GOTTA RESPECT MONEY

IF WE'RE GONNA EXPECT MONEY.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS WASTE STUFF.

JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT GETTING STUFF YOU DON'T EVEN

REALLY WANT, THEN YOU END UP POURING IT DOWN THE DRAIN OR,

YOU KNOW, "I DIDN'T REALLY WANT THAT TO START WITH."

AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE GONNA--IF YOU BUY SOMETHING TO

WEAR AND IT DOESN'T END UP BEING WHAT YOU REALLY LIKE OR YOU'RE

NOT GONNA REALLY USE IT, YOU WEAR IT ONCE AND DON'T LIKE IT,

DON'T JUST LEAVE IT HANGING IN THE CLOSET FOR 2 YEARS

IN CASE YOU EVER DECIDE THAT YOU WANT IT.

PASS IT ON TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

USE IT, THAT WAY YOU CAN INVEST IT.

IF YOU DON'T, YOU LOSE IT.

IT'S TIME FOR US TO BE A LOT MORE RESPONSIBLE WHERE MONEY

IS CONCERNED.

I HAVE PERSONAL NOTES ON FINANCES FROM TEACHING THAT I

HAVE DONE IN THE PAST, AND WE HAVE PUT THEM TOGETHER IN

A LITTLE BOOK FOR YOU.

AND GUESS WHAT.

I'M GONNA GIVE THESE AWAY TODAY TO ANYBODY WHO CALLS IN,

WRITES IN OR GETS ONLINE AND REQUESTS THEM.

THAT'S A BOLD STEP ON OUR PART BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY

THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF THESE PEOPLE ARE GONNA REQUEST.

WHY WOULD I DO THAT?

BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THE DEBT THAT PEOPLE ARE UNDER TODAY

IS PRESSURING THEM IN AN UNBELIEVABLE WAY, AND I THINK

THE DEVIL IS LAUGHING HIS HEAD OFF AND WE NEED TO REALIZE

THAT WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THAT.

IT'S GOD'S WILL FOR US TO BE BLESSED, BLESSED IN EVERY WAY

AND BE A BLESSING EVERYWHERE THAT WE GO.

AND I WANT TO TELL YOU, IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BEGIN AGAIN.

YOU ARE NOT SO DEEP IN DEBT THAT YOU CANNOT TURN IT AROUND WITH

GOD'S HELP AND SEE YOUR WAY FREE AT SOME TIME TO BE COMPLETELY

OUT OF DEBT.

I BELIEVE WITH YOU RIGHT NOW IN JESUS' NAME FOR EVERYONE

WATCHING AND EVERYBODY HERE IN THE STUDIO, I PRAY A NEW SPECIAL

ANOINTING ON YOU TO BE ABLE TO SAY YES TO WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY

YES TO AND NO TO WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY NO TO.

I PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS THAT IF YOU ARE IN DEBT THAT YOU WILL

SYSTEMATICALLY AND GRADUALLY, WITH GOD'S HELP, GET OUT OF DEBT

DAY AFTER DAY, MONTH AFTER MONTH, YEAR AFTER YEAR AND YOU

WILL SEE THE TIME WHEN YOU CAN SAY, "I DO NOT HAVE TO MAKE

A PAYMENT ON ANYTHING.

I AM DEBT FREE."

I DECLARE IT OVER YOU IN JESUS' NAME.

GOD BLESS YOU.

HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE DAY.

THANKS, EVERYBODY.

Liverpool news: Pundit predicts match-winner for West Ham clash - it's not who you think - Duration: 2:34.

The Reds go into the weekend five points ahead of the champions after they suffered a shock defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday.

A win over Leicester at Anfield the following night would have put Jurgen Klopp's men seven points clear but they were only able to manage a draw.

And with City playing before them this weekend, at home to Arsenal, the gap could be down to two points by the time they arrive at the London Stadium.

Liverpool thrashed West Ham 4-0 on the opening weekend of the season but the Hammers have gradually improved since then and can boast home wins over Arsenal and Manchester United and a draw with Chelsea since then.

While the snowy conditions definitely played a factor against the Foxes in midweek, the Reds were not their usual free-flowing selves and looking nervy at times.

Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has given his prediction for the game at West Ham and he thinks the away side could find it tough.

The former Arsenal forward thinks that the game could be tight and Liverpool may have to rely on a substitute like Divock Origi to win it late on.

"Liverpool did not handle the pressure well (at home to Leicester on Wednesday)," Nicholas told Sky Sports.

"They started with a goal in three minutes, but after that they were lethargic with the pass, Salah was denied a lot of space and I think West Ham will look at it and say, 'we will get in your face and get about you'.

"It also looks like Arnautovic may be struggling to be fit, despite what West Ham say, but they have Hernandez - if they keep him - and Anderson, who can be a real handle and when he does it well, he does it really, really well.

"So, they will be dangerous and a real test for them and if they play it more like a counterattacking game, it will suit them and Liverpool will be a bit agitated.

"If I am Pellegrini, then I'm playing this as an away match and let Liverpool have possession.

"But I just feel this game will suit Liverpool going to the London Stadium and they will nick it, but there could be late drama with Origi coming off the bench to win it."

James Milner is set to return to the Reds side for the game and is likely to start at right-back after missing the Leicester game due to suspension.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is also making good progress as he recovers from a knee ligament problem.

However, Bournemouth at home the following Saturday is currently viewed as a more likely comeback date for the England international.

HOT | Elizabeth Warren Apologizes to Cherokee Nation for DNA Test The New York Times - Duration: 2:22.

HOT | Elizabeth Warren Apologizes to Cherokee Nation for DNA Test The New York Times

Senator Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat who is running for her partys presidential nomination, has apologized to the Cherokee Nation for , a move that had angered some tribal leaders and ignited a significant political backlash.

The apology comes as Ms. Warren is set to formally kick off her presidential run this month after recent visits to early nominating states like Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. It also comes after repeated calls for her to apologize from tribal leaders, political operatives, and her own advisers, who said her October decision to take the DNA test gave undue credence to the controversial claim that race could be determined by blood — and politically, played into President Trumps hands.

On Thursday, Ms. Warren called Bill John Baker, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, to apologize for the DNA test, said Julie Hubbard, a spokeswoman for the tribe. She called it a brief and private conversation. The apology was . Ms. Warrens campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

I understand that she apologized for causing confusion on tribal sovereignty and tribal citizenship and the harm that has resulted, Ms. Hubbard said. The chief and secretary of state appreciate that she has reaffirmed that she is not a Cherokee Nation citizen or a citizen of any tribal nation.

The apology is a break from Ms. Warrens previous public stance, where she refused to admit fault.

Advisers close to Ms. Warren said she has privately expressed concern that she may have damaged her relationships to Native American groups and her own standing with activists, particularly those who are racial minorities. However, as recently as December, she rebuffed any calls for an apology.

I put it out there. Its on the internet for anybody to see, Ms. Warren said in an interview. People can make of it what they will. Im going to continue fighting on the issues that brought me to Washington.

On Wednesday, Chuck Hoskin Jr, the secretary of state of the Cherokee Nation, published an opinion column in the Tulsa World titled, Elizabeth Warren can be a friend, but she isnt a Cherokee citizen.

In the column, Mr. Hoskin said Ms. Warrens test, which her office said showed strong evidence that Ms. Warren has Native American pedigree 6 10 generations ago, did not take into account that, for most Native Americans, culture and kinship is what creates tribal membership — not blood.

This concept of family is key to understanding why citizenship matters, Mr. Hoskin . That is why it offends us when some of our national leaders seek to ascribe inappropriately membership or citizenship to themselves. They would be welcome to our table as friends, but claiming to be family to gain a spot at the table is unwelcome.

Lin-Manuel Miranda for El Nuevo Día (Eng Sub) - Duration: 3:48.

You've seen me relaxed for the first time and for the first interview

that I've done. Honestly it's been incredible

23 shows in a little bit more than 2 weeks

And the island's reception has been incredible

not only during the performances, but all over the island

all the people that support us, it's been incredible

I was surprised by the cast, I didn't know that they all

had puerto rican flags hidden in their costumes

I took one out every night, but they surprised me the last show

I started crying like crazy

That was a really special moment

I had a "boricuazo" (a slip into spanglish) during the last show

which was without fault, but with fault

There's a moment in the show where

Burr is telling the audience that Hamilton...

that Hamilton likes women

And my line is "That's true"

but last night, it was

And I said "Hay true"

So I slipped into spanish there

during the last performance of the show

Everyone's so happy, this has honestly been a marathon

you know, it's not common to do 9 shows a week

but I wanted to do as much as possible

in our time here in Puerto Rico

And the spirit of adventure that these actors have

you know, to start a tour like this

They're gonna be a little spoiled. Now they go on to San Francisco but it's not gonna be like this

The whole month has been a dream

To have good news in the newspaper, for a little bit, for Puerto Rico

To give almost 15 million dollars to arts fund in Puerto Rico

which was the challenge we had

and to be able to support artists from the island

This is for artists, art groups, museums, the theater

and being a part of that, and support that for the next chapter

of arts in Puerto Rico, that's the most special.

No, the work always continues

This has been 2 years of planning, for this month

so to accomplish that, it feels great,

I will celebrate that for a moment

and then we keep going to see...

And the work continues, I keep working with the Hispanic Federation

to make profits for the island's recovery

we're working with coffee growers and farms

That project continues, I call it the 'Coffee Avengers'

we have Nespresso, Starbucks and other companies

to help coffee farms in Puerto Rico because they're so important,

they're puerto rico's treasure

And we continue working

As an artist, I'll always want to bring my art to Puerto Rico

And that was the drive for it at first,

to bring Hamilton to Puerto Rico

And after Maria it was "okay, how can we help Puerto Rico"

in various ways

But that will always be the drive for me, because...

What comes out of me as an artist,

I'll always want to bring it to the island

And find ways to help while I'm here.

INJURY BLOW!!! Man United Send World best midfielder for scans amid injury worries - Duration: 2:08.

 Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is waiting to know how serious the thigh injury of Paul Pogba is, as per reports  According to British media reports, the Red Devils have sent creative midfielder Paul Pogba for scans to know the extent of the injury the world class midfielder sustained during the 2-all draw with Burnley on Tuesday evening

 As per British media reports, Metro is claiming that the France international midfielder was due to have a key scan on Thursday to examine the situation and that the Red Devils are "fearing" that the FIFA World Cup winner has sustained a thigh injury

 A potential injury for the midfielder would come as a major blow for the Red devils, as Paul Pogba, 25, has been in fantastic form since interim Norwegian boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge at Manchester United last month

 Paul Pogba has netted six goals and created four assists in eight matches under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Manchester United will be hoping that the player's injury woes are not too severe

 It remains to be known whether the former Juventus star will be very fit for the Red Devil's encounter with former Premier League champions Leicester City in the League on Sunday

 Their 2-all draw with Premier League Burnley at home in midweek left Manchester United in sixth position in the English Premier League log and two points adrift fourth placed north London giants Arsenal with 14 matches remaining to play this term

 The midfield maestro has netted a total of nine goals and created seven assists in 21 English Premier League matches so far this season
