So far we have three comments there, 26 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:33.840 so if you guys hear this, go back and comment 27 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.200 on that one for sure.

Like every episode, I well see all 30 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.319 of you commenting, so I appreciate it. Like I said, 31 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.040 it keeps the show on the air. It'll push the 32 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.280 show up the algorithm so more people can hear it, 33 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.680 and judging by last week Sunday service, since I have 34 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.920 comments from people that I haven't really seen before, I'm 35 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.000 hoping that this is getting to new people. This show 36 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.640 so my personal show gets to a lot of people, 37 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.640 but seems like it gets to a lot more people 38 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.520 on Spotify and Apple than it does on YouTube, even 39 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.360 though I have like five thousand or some subscribers. Like 40 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.919 the show is shadow band, you know, because I go 41 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.919 through the Bible and I go through conspiracy. So two 42 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:28.639 things that we know that the people that rule this arena, 43 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.039 you know, not saying that God doesn't rule everything. God 44 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.000 is obviously or everything, but you know, people that rule 45 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:41.759 the Spotify, YouTube and all the social media, and you know, 46 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.199 the people that are running things, they definitely don't like 47 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.680 those two things, especially those two things together, right, Christian 48 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.719 and conspiracy. They don't like it. Believe me, because I've 49 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.879 been swimming uphill without a paddle for a long time 50 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.599 trying to get more subscribers and more people to listen 51 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:03.360 and YouTube. It's a lot, it's a lot harder for 52 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:04.919 some reason. It's like you have to have a big 53 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.840 name for people to tune in on that one. But 54 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.039 it's still a blessing. I think the Lord that we 55 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.800 have fifty four hundred subscribers on there, that's a blessing, 56 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.439 you know. And worked hard. It took me four years 57 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.400 you know to get to this point. And took me 58 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.439 six years you know basically since I've kind of first 59 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:29.800 entered the scene as a Christian rapper and then four 60 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:33.159 years as a podcaster. So what a blessing, you know, 61 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:35.919 I thank God for every moment that I've had and 62 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.560 all the sleepless nights and everything that I've done, is 63 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.560 it's been well worth it. You know, a lot of 64 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.199 people have been God has planted a lot of seeds 65 00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.479 with this show and my show, and a lot of 66 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.919 people have came to the Lord through it. So I 67 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:52.919 really really appreciate it. But I just love to be 68 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.199 a vessel. That's all I am. No glory to me 69 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.120 in any way, just all glory to God. And we 70 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:03.280 are going to be talking today about Deuteronomy. Let me 71 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.159 let me get to my notes because I I. 72 00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.080 Just want to make sure I'm at the right spot here. 73 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.639 That's Deuteronomy six. Let's go to Deuteronomy five, and we 74 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.120 will be reviewing the ten Commandments. I know we went 75 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.120 over that on Exodus, but we're still going to be 76 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.120 reviewing here because some people could be new to the 77 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:25.959 channel and just are new to the show. So let's 78 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:27.959 go ahead and share the screen for those that are 79 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:32.839 watching in video and for everybody on my show that's 80 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.879 going to be listening to this in the future. I 81 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.639 love you guys too, and I appreciate all of you. 82 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:44.000 Thank you so much. Let's go ahead and start this up. 83 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:49.120 So this is going to be Deuteronomy five, and I'll 84 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:50.879 go to my other notes as well. 85 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.000 I think I might have two phones here soon. 86 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.920 I have a work phone I could put notes on 87 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.199 because I keep switching back and forth. So first of all, 88 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.839 before we go over this, something that I learned as 89 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:07.720 I was studying this is that Moses spent forty days 90 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.279 on Mount Sinai, which I already knew. You know, I 91 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.079 knew that part we read that together. But he actually 92 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.959 went spent forty days on Mount Sinai twice. I probably 93 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.000 when I was reading through. You know, it might be 94 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:20.959 at the end of the show or something on this, 95 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.600 but for some reason I missed it. I do remember 96 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.560 him going up once, and I do know that the 97 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.199 golden calf and he went back up, but I didn't 98 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.879 know he went up for forty days. So it looks 99 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.040 like he went up there twice. The first time was 100 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.759 to receive the ten commitments, and the second time was 101 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.120 after the Israelites had created a golden calf after they 102 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.000 first set, after the first set of tablets were broken. 103 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.519 So so, like I said, the first time Moses has 104 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:50.920 sent him out signing to receive the ten Commandments the 105 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.720 first set of stone tablets. Remember, he came down, saw 106 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.800 them worshiping the Golden Calf, and then he threw those 107 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.959 and broke them. And then while Moses was on the mountain, 108 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.480 the Israelites, in pace for his return, began worshiping the 109 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.160 Golden Calf, which we talked about Upawn has returned. Moses 110 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.759 enraged in the idolatry and broke the first set of 111 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.079 tablets in his fury. Then Moses returned to Mount Sinai 112 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.240 for another forty days and forty nights. This signed to 113 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.680 receive the new set of tablets containing the Ten Commandments. 114 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.720 The second forty days represent a period of purification and 115 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.560 renewed covenant between God and his people. According to some perspectives, Okay, 116 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.680 so I just want to go over that real quick, 117 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.920 and then and then we're going to go over the 118 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.360 Ten Commandments. And just to tell you what the Ten 119 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.839 Commandments are. The Ten Commandments are a set of moral 120 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.079 guidelines given to Moses on Mount Sinai according to the Bible, 121 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.720 and are considered foundational principles in both Christianity and Judaism. 122 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.920 They outline basic rules of worship and behavior, focusing on 123 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.800 one's relationship with God and with others. The commandments are 124 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:57.079 often divided into two groups, those focusing on the relationship 125 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.800 with God, which are one through four, and those focusing 126 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.639 on the relationship with others five through ten. And we'll 127 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.160 go through those really quick as we're going through, and 128 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.000 I have notes on each one, so let's go ahead 129 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.279 and start reading. Deuteronomy five, verse one. And Moses called 130 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.319 all Israel and said to them, hero Israel, the statutes 131 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.360 and judgments which I speak and you're hearing today, and 132 00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.079 that you may learn them and be careful to observe them. 133 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.439 The Lord, our God, made a covenant with us in 134 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.439 he Reb. The Lord did not make this covenant with 135 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.160 our fathers, but with us those who are here today, 136 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.160 all of us who are alive. The Lord talked to 137 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.399 you face to face on the mountain from the midst 138 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.240 of the fire. I stood between the Lord and you 139 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.360 at that time to declare to you that the word 140 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.040 of the Lord. For you were afraid because of the 141 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.240 fire and did not go up the mountain. He said, 142 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.279 hold on, let's go ahead and go there real quick. 143 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.720 This is exactly what happened. Numbers twelve versus four through 144 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.959 eight is another spot where God, the Lord is speaking 145 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.560 to Aaron and marry him, saying I come to prophets 146 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.959 and visions and in dreams, but with Moses, I speak 147 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.360 to him face to face. In the New King, James 148 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.279 are the King James, it says, mouth to mouth. Okay. 149 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.759 Now we see this in Deuteronomy five as well, saying 150 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.680 the Lord, our God, made a covenant with us. The 151 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.639 Lord did not make us covenant with our fathers, but 152 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.720 with us those who are here today, all of us 153 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.519 who are alive. The Lord talk with you, speaking of 154 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.000 Moses face to face on the mountain from the midst 155 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.639 of the fire. So now we have that, and then 156 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.360 we also have an Exodus that says that God speaks 157 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:43.039 to Moses like a friend. So should we be so 158 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.120 the words that Moses speaks, should we be kind of 159 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.000 putting them on a higher pedestal than some of the 160 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.879 people that you know, like some of the other people 161 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.480 in the Bible. Well, I think that all scriptures inspire 162 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.600 by God. Okay, So I don't think we should put 163 00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.679 it on a higher pedestal. I think that all of 164 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.000 it's inspired by God. But we need to pay attention 165 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.559 because he's somebody that was able to speak to God 166 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.120 face to face. It's three times in the Bible so 167 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.320 far that I've read where one of them says he 168 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.519 spoke to him like a friend, which is something that 169 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.840 I think is incredible. And then two times that i've 170 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.480 heard the Bible say that he spoke to God face 171 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.799 to face, once in numbers twelve versus fourth through eight, 172 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.399 which we already went over, and once here in Deuteronomy five, 173 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:31.559 verse four. So that to me is incredible. So that 174 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.720 validates the book of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, you know, 175 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:42.399 all these books that we've been reading. It's validation because 176 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:46.440 Moses wrote the Torah. Moses spoke to God face to face. 177 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:51.519 This is information that is golden for us. We are 178 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:58.639 so blessed to have this information. Okay, that's why I 179 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.559 always say to people science never spoke to God face 180 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.679 to face. People that speak like they know all this stuff. 181 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.480 You know, you know all these people, I got an 182 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.480 IQ of one to eighty. Oh my goodness. Okay, none 183 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:12.679 of you guys have spoke to God face to face. 184 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.519 So if you believe the Bible like I do, this 185 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.519 is what's happening. We see him speaking to him face 186 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:23.360 to face, which I think is absolutely incredible. So let's continue, 187 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.960 and you know what, I have some pastors, I'll say, 188 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.000 that's just a metaphor for you spoke to. Now. I'm 189 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.399 not saying that God was face to face with him 190 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.240 when that Moses saw God's face and they were like, 191 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.039 you know, and then I'm just saying that they were 192 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:43.039 they were like in close quarters, speaking like a friend. Okay, 193 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:50.120 that's amazing and incredible. All right. So Deuteronomy five, verse six, 194 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.399 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out 195 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.600 of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Okay. 196 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.000 And just to let you know, before we start the 197 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.120 Ten Commandments, I just want to tell you where you 198 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:08.039 can go in reference back. It's Exodus twenty verses one 199 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:11.919 through seventeen, which we've already gone over. This is where 200 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.360 the Ten Commandments is originally released, and there's context and 201 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.960 everything in there if you want to go back to that. Okay. 202 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.200 This is kind of just a revisiting it with the 203 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.159 children of Israel before they enter the Promised Land to 204 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:31.480 make sure that he, you know, giving them a refresher course, 205 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:36.039 if that makes sense. So it says you shall have 206 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:46.480 no other gods before me. Okay. So that so the 207 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.840 first commandment is, I am the Lord, your God, who 208 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.120 brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of Slaver. 209 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.840 You shall have no other gods before me. Okay. So 210 00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:59.960 this is emphasizes the uniqueness and primacy of God, recrying 211 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:05.279 worship and obedience to him alone. I've gone over Psalms 212 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.639 eighty two, verse one. You guys should check that out. Okay. 213 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.519 I can kind of go over that real quick, just 214 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.559 so you guys can kind of see Psalms eighty two, 215 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:23.639 verse one. It's almost like he's standing in the divine council. 216 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:27.919 I went over this when we were going into Exodus. 217 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.840 But I know that if this is review for you guys, 218 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.799 it's okay. You know, it's just we need to hear 219 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:40.519 this kind of stuff. This is Psalms eighty two, verse one. 220 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.519 God stands in the congregation of the Mighty. He judges 221 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.559 among the gods lowercase g gods. How long will you 222 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.519 judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Is what 223 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.159 he's saying to them. This is like speaking in a 224 00:12:55.200 --> 00:13:04.039 divine council, God, the Father, you know, yahweh Yeah, okay, yahweh. 225 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:09.879 He is obviously the king of kings, the God of gods. Okay, 226 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.720 he can create, you know. But he's speaking to these 227 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:20.120 lowercase g gods. And who are they? Are they able 228 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.399 to create heaven and earth? No, they're not able to 229 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.919 create heaven and earth. But if you read a little 230 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.360 further down, it says you are gods or elohem, and 231 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.000 all of you are children of the Most High. What 232 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.320 are children of the most High? Sons of God? Right? 233 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.600 So that means that they are angels. Okay, And these 234 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:47.000 angels are not doing what God wants. He wants you 235 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:49.600 to defend the poor, the father, to do justice to 236 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.879 the afflicted and needy, deliver the poor and needy, free 237 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.240 them from the hand of the wicked. They do not know, 238 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:59.279 nor do they understand. They will They walk about in darkness. 239 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:02.879 All the foundations of the earth are unstable. I said, 240 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:05.120 you are gods and all of you are children of 241 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.960 the Most High. But you shall die like men and 242 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:13.759 fall like one of the princes. Okay, O, rise, Oh God, 243 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:18.600 judge the earth, for you shall inherit all nations. Speaking 244 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.480 to them and says, but you shall die like men, 245 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:26.159 which means they are not men. Okay, that's what people 246 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.039 need to understand. So people have the wrong interpretation of this. 247 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:34.159 So when God says you shall have no other gods 248 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:38.279 before me, you got to understand that they came out 249 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:44.679 of Egypt, where there was you know, Ra was like 250 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:50.000 a son God, Osiris, all these different gods, right, So 251 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.679 he needs to pull all that out of them to 252 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.759 let them know that God is the only one you 253 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.120 should worship. You shall have no other gods before for me. Okay. 254 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:04.639 The reason why I brought that verse up is to 255 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:09.120 let you guys know that the gods that you know, 256 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.679 these you know Egyptians or Greek or Romans that they're worshiping, 257 00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:19.399 there is a deity behind them. They're not just mythological 258 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.639 gods that they just made up. Okay, there's deities behind them. 259 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.360 And as Paul says that there's demons behind them, what 260 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.559 do I mean by that? Like, don't you guys think 261 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:38.440 that Zeus all these different gods. You don't think that 262 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:42.200 they've appeared to somebody before at one time? And what 263 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.679 do they do? How do they appear? Well, I believe 264 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:53.799 they appeared as fallen angels or Satan himself. You know 265 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:55.600 what I mean, I'm not saying, you know, I don't 266 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.840 know how it all works. Don't don't act like I'm 267 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.000 I'm not going to act like I know for sure 268 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.840 that happen. But I'm saying that speculating that they probably 269 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.480 have showed up somehow, you know, to somebody, that's why 270 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.279 they believe in them so much, and they believe that 271 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.320 that's that's you know, Zeus is the real thing or whatever. 272 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.320 I think that Satan would probably play that role, fallen 273 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.639 angels would play Apollo, and all these different gods Saturn, 274 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.200 you know what I mean. But we got to understand. 275 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:28.399 God is saying it in the Bible that he's judging, 276 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.080 you know, in front of them. He's judging these gods, 277 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:40.600 these lowercase g gods. Here's the next commandment. You shall 278 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.919 not make yourself a carved image any likeness of anything 279 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.039 that is in heaven above, or that is in the 280 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.480 earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 281 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.399 You shall not bow down to them nor serve them. 282 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.559 For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous god, 283 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.600 visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, to 284 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.960 the third and fourth generations, to those who hate me. 285 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.160 But showing mercy to thousands, to those who love me, 286 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:18.240 and keep my commandments. Okay, so this commandment prohibits the 287 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:23.880 creation and worship of idols or any representation of God 288 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:29.599 or other deities. We need to understand that because I mean, 289 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.359 how often do you walk into churches and we also 290 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:38.680 make churches an idol? Okay, I mean think about it. 291 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:44.279 It's a building. Sometimes you go into church and you're like, 292 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:46.640 I'm gonna be holy, I'm gonna be good going in here. 293 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:51.359 I don't want to get God mad. Walk into church, kids, 294 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.200 better be on your best behavior because we're in God's 295 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.319 house and we're in front of the pastor, so you've 296 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:57.880 got to make sure. So you go into there and 297 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.000 then you act all like you're up, you know, upright 298 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.039 right and perfect. Hey, how you doing, Janet? How you doing? 299 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:06.720 And then you get out of the building and then 300 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.599 you go right back to how you were. So that 301 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.759 is making the church an idol. You need to make 302 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:14.880 everything around life like that. You need to act like 303 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:19.440 that all the time because God is always watching. He 304 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:23.039 doesn't watch you more at a church. It doesn't make 305 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.920 you more holy. What the church is for is for fellowship, 306 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:33.039 for learning, for teaching, for preaching, for using your spiritual gifts, 307 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.359 of course with each other, because you're fellowshiping with other Christians. 308 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.200 But it's not for you to idolize. It's not for 309 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.480 you to have big old statues of Jesus everywhere and 310 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:47.440 Mary holding me, and then you know Tamoose, and you 311 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:51.200 know all these other crazy queen of Heaven holding Tamouse 312 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:53.160 and all the stuff that you see in some of 313 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.240 the churches. I'm not going to name them because I'm 314 00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.599 not trying to. I'm just telling you, guys, you gotta 315 00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:14.039 be careful. This commandment is happening today everywhere. So what 316 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.799 about wearing a cross on your neck? I don't know. 317 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.039 I mean, Jesus didn't even die on across any It 318 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.680 was a t But I'm just saying, maybe it's a 319 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.519 way that you use the cross to people to ask 320 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.480 you about Christ. I don't know, you know, but I'm 321 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:38.720 just saying, we have to be careful what we make. 322 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.480 It says you shall not make yourself a carved image 323 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:45.079 or likeness of anything that is in heaven above right, 324 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.920 So if you're making something like a picture of Jesus 325 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.400 and you put it in your house and you go 326 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.440 to it and go, I love you Jesus, thank you. 327 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:57.000 Like that's not good. If you have rosary beads that 328 00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.599 you know, any kind of things that you make in idol, 329 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.759 it is not good. Look what it says right here, 330 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.400 I the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, visiting 331 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.440 the iniquity of the fathers upon the children of the 332 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.559 third the four generation, to those who hate me, but 333 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.720 showing mercy to thousands, to those who love me and 334 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:18.079 keep my commandments. He knows this is even how crazy 335 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:22.000 it is. Because when we were reading, there was some 336 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.079 idols that Rachel brought with her out of her father's 337 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.240 house Lamont. I can't remember his name, it's slipping me 338 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.440 right now. But those idols were like the will, and 339 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.799 they were like of God's and she brought it with 340 00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.599 her and he was mad, like he was chasing after her. 341 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.319 And I remember that happened. But that's just an example. 342 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:49.160 But it says, do not make a carved image of 343 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:53.480 any likeness or anything that is in heaven above, that 344 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.920 is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water. 345 00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:01.599 Oh that's hard, because that that's kind of there's there's 346 00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:04.440 just I would just suggest you guys, do a deep 347 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:06.880 study on that. I'm not gonna name a bunch of stuff, Okay, 348 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.960 do a deep study on that. Okay. We make things idols, 349 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.799 like cell phones, we make things out of like social media, 350 00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:16.359 we make things out of like TVs. We make things 351 00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:20.119 idols like movies, shows. Stars. Why do you think they're 352 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:24.880 called stars? Stars in the in the Bible, I believe 353 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:28.240 are angels. Okay, that's you don't have to believe that. 354 00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:30.559 You can believe they're big balls of gas. It's okay, whatever. 355 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:33.480 I'm just saying, like stars, why do you think they 356 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:36.920 call themselves stars? They want you to idolize them. Why 357 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:39.319 do you think people when they see oh my god, 358 00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:43.160 it's just oh my gosh, it's Kim Kim Kardashian whatever, 359 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.519 you know. Or they make a show called American Idol. Right, 360 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:48.680 you have somebody that you watch and you, oh, man, 361 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.400 he's a garbage he's a garbage truck guy, and then 362 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.559 he just comes in and sings beautifully, and then boom 363 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:55.720 they make him into this guy and then boom, he's 364 00:21:55.720 --> 00:22:01.039 got a million subscribers on Instagram. Anyway, don't want to 365 00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.039 get too much into that, but I'm just saying there's 366 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:05.599 just things out there. We got to be careful as Christians. 367 00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:07.839 We have to be mindful how to be now. If 368 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.359 you are, the Holy Spirit will guide you, is what 369 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.920 I'll say. Okay, the Holy Spirit will guide you. You 370 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.480 know you should feel convicted about certain things, and certain 371 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:21.640 things you know you might not feel convicted about. But pray, 372 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:24.119 do I have any idols? Is there anything that any 373 00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.759 idol worship I have in my life? Lord, please help 374 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:31.319 me because we're in a fallen world. You know, we 375 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.160 are in a fallen world and we are being taught 376 00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:39.000 the wrong way through churches and through life through the world. 377 00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:41.119 The world is trying to teach us, and the churches 378 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:44.759 are teaching us, and we are getting taught wrong. I 379 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:47.559 think from both. Sometimes I'm not saying that churches are bad. 380 00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:51.839 I'm just saying that, you know, there's some churches that 381 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:57.839 have a lot of this going on. Let's continue. Third commandment. 382 00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:02.160 You shall not take the name of the Lord your 383 00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.680 God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him 384 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:12.880 guiltless who takes his name in vain. This commandment emphasizes 385 00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:16.440 the importance of respecting God's name and not using it 386 00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:22.599 casually or disrespectfully. Also using his name in vain, or 387 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.480 using Christ's name in vain would be saying I'm a Christian, 388 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:31.799 but you're not representing Christ the correct way. You're not 389 00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:35.960 being a proper disciple. You're cussing, you're drinking, chilling on 390 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:39.880 the block, smoking weed, doing whatever, and saying I'm a Christian. Yeah, 391 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.920 you should come to the Lord smoking weed'm or whatever, 392 00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:47.200 smoking drug, sniffing coke, whatever. That's also using Christ's name 393 00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:52.599 in vain. If you are being a total ignorant jerk 394 00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.240 and saying you're a Christian, you're causing people to not 395 00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:58.440 want to come to the faith, then you are also 396 00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:03.880 using the Lord's name in vain. Okay, that's just an example. 397 00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:09.319 If you are a pastor and you were representing God 398 00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:17.799 but you are just doing absolute terrible things, then you 399 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.519 are taking the Lord's name in vain. If you are 400 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:25.279 using God's name disrespectfully, yes, okay, that is a way 401 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:28.319
