Speaker 1: music beside my session. These folks gotta give him a message.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Guys, Welcome to another edition of Let's
Speaker 1: Get Biblical right here on your favorite podcasting platform, whether
Speaker 1: it's Spreaker, Spotify, Apple, iTunes, and more. We thank you,
Speaker 1: guys for listening to Let's Get Biblical over the last
Speaker 1: several years. It's just this your first time listening to us.
Speaker 1: Come on in, believer, non believer, someone that's been studying
Speaker 1: the Bible way longer than I have. Come on in
Speaker 1: because it's all about the good old b I B
Speaker 1: l E. The Basic Constructions before leaving Earth, Manual, and
Speaker 1: the love of Jesus for you, I and the world
Speaker 1: around us. And we'd like to do it in a
Speaker 1: different way. We really do. I love to take those scriptures,
Speaker 1: wrap them around our world and we use it in
Speaker 1: the forms of transparency, testimony and the hopes of transformation
Speaker 1: in your life and my life in the world around
Speaker 1: us makes sense. All right, let's put our hands in
Speaker 1: a huddle and say let's go. One, two, three, let's go,
Speaker 1: and let's get this very interesting show started here today
Speaker 1: we're starting a new series here, a new series called
Speaker 1: Bible Breakdown. I'm sorry, we don't have a very cool
Speaker 1: drop at this moment, you know, because we don't ask
Speaker 1: for funds on the show to produce a higher quality
Speaker 1: network of sound drops. So you're gonna have to deal
Speaker 1: with can we do it again? Bible Breakdown? Right here on,
Speaker 1: let's get biblical with Katie and what is it? It's
Speaker 1: exactly how it sounds. We are going to take scripture
Speaker 1: from the Bible today, read it out, and break it
Speaker 1: down so we all can understand it together. Now, some
Speaker 1: scriptures are very very simple. Some scriptures get very very
Speaker 1: in depth. But we're going to start today with a
Speaker 1: man that I'm kinda like, We're kind of all like,
Speaker 1: a disciple named Peter. You can turn your Bibles to
Speaker 1: First Peter Chapter five if you like. If you're a
Speaker 1: non believer, it's okay. We just want you to stick around.
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, let's hang out. All right, because
Speaker 1: it's like hanging out with someone that just went to
Speaker 1: the gym and you're seeing them transform and they're looking
Speaker 1: good and they're on a new diet, and you wonder, man,
Speaker 1: I want to look like that. You look good, you
Speaker 1: sound good, You got a new light to you. How
Speaker 1: do you do it? You ask them? Right, well, this
Speaker 1: is the same way when believers in Christ walk with Christ.
Speaker 1: You see a different light in them, and you're like,
Speaker 1: there's something different about them. Come on in, Come on
Speaker 1: in and hear our testimonies, and let's have a little
Speaker 1: fun and learning the word of God in a unique way.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do that. Let's sit around that good
Speaker 1: old round table and have a little discussion, and we'll
Speaker 1: all start around first Peter chapter five, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: be in verses five through ten today talking a little
Speaker 1: bit about the proud and the humble, and also using
Speaker 1: your elders around you. You ever grown up? You ever
Speaker 1: grown up? Guys? We've all grown up. Okay, let's be honest,
Speaker 1: all right, we've all grown up, and we think, man,
Speaker 1: we're the man we know more than that old man
Speaker 1: over there. What are you talking about, old man? What
Speaker 1: are you talking about old lady. I'm twenty something years old. Man.
Speaker 1: I know life, right, I know life. I got a job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's eight fifty an hour, and I can't afford to
Speaker 1: pay my bills. But I got a job. People like
Speaker 1: me do they? I know what I'm doing in this world.
Speaker 1: And you have that young that older gentleman or older
Speaker 1: lady that's trying to push life into you. Oh wait
Speaker 1: a minute, that absolutely sounds like somebody that I know
Speaker 1: right now. Oh me as a podcaster, Yeah, I've got
Speaker 1: white haired wisdom too, But I need those other white
Speaker 1: haired wisdoms that almost cover their whole body sometimes for
Speaker 1: me to look up to and to hear about their
Speaker 1: testimonies in life. Here's a guy in the other's end
Speaker 1: of a microphone right now sharing his life with you,
Speaker 1: and you might think you got it all together well.
Speaker 1: In One Peter, chapter five, we talk about that. Today
Speaker 1: we talk a little bit about to the elders and
Speaker 1: the flock. I'm an elder. I'm also a part of
Speaker 1: a flock. This message is for all of us, how
Speaker 1: we need to respect our elders, how we need to
Speaker 1: listen to our elders, because they're the ones that have
Speaker 1: been through it. I know if I haven't been through
Speaker 1: a situation in my life, whether it's my walk with Christ,
Speaker 1: or how to put in flooring in my house, or
Speaker 1: how to change the oil in my car? What do
Speaker 1: I do? Don't say google it. The younger generation will
Speaker 1: absolutely say google it. Okay. But you turn into an
Speaker 1: elder and you say, hey, mister so and so, I
Speaker 1: see that you're a carpenter. I want to put flooring
Speaker 1: in my house. How do I do that? Hey, let
Speaker 1: me show you. But the younger self of us will
Speaker 1: be too prideful to do that. Sometimes I'm that way now.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm too prideful because I think I know a
Speaker 1: lot at my elder age, but I need people to
Speaker 1: show me things well. In one Peter five, verse five,
Speaker 1: it starts out by saying, in the same way, you
Speaker 1: who are younger, submit to your elders. All of you
Speaker 1: clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes
Speaker 1: the proud but shows favor to the humble. Verse six says,
Speaker 1: humble yourselves. We've heard that word twice humble now actually
Speaker 1: three times. Therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may
Speaker 1: lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety
Speaker 1: on him because he cares for you. Verse eight says
Speaker 1: be alert and of sober mind your enemy. The devil
Speaker 1: prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
Speaker 1: Resist him, standing firm in the faith because you know
Speaker 1: that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing
Speaker 1: those same kind of sufferings. Verse ten finishes with this
Speaker 1: and the grace of all God, who called you to
Speaker 1: his eternal glory in Christ, after you suffered a while,
Speaker 1: will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast.
Speaker 1: So let's start that again at verse five. Right, if
Speaker 1: we're younger, submit ourselves to the older generation so we
Speaker 1: can learn from them. But in order to do that,
Speaker 1: we've got to humble ourselves. We don't always humble ourselves
Speaker 1: because the world teaches us to be prideful and do
Speaker 1: it yourself. It's yolo, though I don't need your help.
Speaker 1: Have you ever asked anybody for help? They've given you help,
Speaker 1: and they're always there for you. Maybe you're somebody that
Speaker 1: grew up in a household that you never got help.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're the person that's always being kicked to the side. Well,
Speaker 1: Jesus called Peter his rock. I'm a little like Peter, right,
Speaker 1: Peter little backstory on him is and you're gonna say, wow,
Speaker 1: that sounds like me too. Peter loved Jesus. Jesus loved
Speaker 1: Peter so much he called him the rock, not if
Speaker 1: you smell not that rock, okay, not Dwayne the Rock
Speaker 1: Johnson okay. But he was Jesus's rock. But Peter stabbed
Speaker 1: him in the back three times. Peter denied him three times.
Speaker 1: Think about the rock you have on earth right now?
Speaker 1: Family member, wife, husband, spouse, best friend. What if that
Speaker 1: rock did the same thing to you three times? What happens?
Speaker 1: Three strikes? I'm out, yo, three strikes, I'm gone. You're
Speaker 1: not my friend no more. I'm not gonna deal with you.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna show you love. Jesus though Jesus, when
Speaker 1: Peter denied him three times, continues to show all of
Speaker 1: us love when we turn our backs on him. Absolutely
Speaker 1: absolutely does. So. Think about that rock in your life today.
Speaker 1: Peter was Jesus's rock. Peter denied Jesus three times, but
Speaker 1: Peter also was prideful at that time. No, I won't
Speaker 1: I won't deny you. Jesus I'll never deny you. I
Speaker 1: will follow you. Heck, he even cut off a guard's
Speaker 1: ear when the guard went to go change Jesus. In
Speaker 1: the gardens of Josemone, he went to go attack a man,
Speaker 1: and Jesus goes, no, Peter, but he already got to him,
Speaker 1: and then Jesus healed that man. Peter's kind of like
Speaker 1: the I like to call him the honey badger for Christ.
Speaker 1: He loves Jesus, but he'll cut an ear off man.
Speaker 1: He just will. But that's that pride we were talking about.
Speaker 1: Peter showed that he was prideful. He had to humble himself,
Speaker 1: and boy, the third time he denied Jesus, he humbled himself,
Speaker 1: and here he is writing about it. In First Peter.
Speaker 1: God opposes a proud but shows favor to the humble.
Speaker 1: Clothe yourselves and humility. Humble yourselves. Therefore, under God's mighty hand,
Speaker 1: he will lift you up in due time. And he
Speaker 1: lifts you up in any situation. You need to humble yourself.
Speaker 1: Do it today? Do it today? Are you an alcoholic,
Speaker 1: You're a drug addict? Are you living somewhere that they
Speaker 1: oppress God? And you can't read the Bible? Stand up
Speaker 1: and see what happens when you humble yourself. Lord this,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for that. I want to end this. I
Speaker 1: want to get rid of that. I need your help.
Speaker 1: When you humble yourself, He's going to lift you up
Speaker 1: with his mighty hand, cast all your anxiety upon him.
Speaker 1: That's verse seven. He cares for us, he loves us.
Speaker 1: He has those arms open wide all the time. But
Speaker 1: those rocks on earth that you're relying on, and they
Speaker 1: stab you in the back three times, you or them
Speaker 1: either turn their backs on you. Jesus again, never will
Speaker 1: be alert in a sober mind. The enemy's there, y'all.
Speaker 1: I don't like to call the horned, pitchforked guy that
Speaker 1: the world has presented ahead of us the D word.
Speaker 1: I'd call him the opposition because he's always opposing anything
Speaker 1: you're doing good in your life. You ever had good
Speaker 1: things going, and you're like, it's just stopped. I don't
Speaker 1: know why it stopped. God, why would you allow this
Speaker 1: to happen? Because you're strong enough to come out on
Speaker 1: the other side, and you need to rely on him
Speaker 1: as the rock, not your friends and family. Humble yourselves,
Speaker 1: that's where you need to come back to humility. The
Speaker 1: devil's going to try to tear you apart. He don't
Speaker 1: want you to show He don't want you to be happy.
Speaker 1: Why would you accept that in your life? All because
Speaker 1: you're opposed against somebody that loves you so much and
Speaker 1: is trying to show you ground rules of life. Man,
Speaker 1: that sounds like parenting to me. Sounds like parenting to me.
Speaker 1: When you try to do anything on your own and
Speaker 1: your head hits that glass ceiling, you can't go any further.
Speaker 1: The opposition loves it because, man, you're hurting yourself. Cast
Speaker 1: all your anxieties on him. Because the Lord cares for you.
Speaker 1: Be alert, sober mind verse nine, Resist the devil, resist
Speaker 1: the opposition, Resist the opposition. Standing firm in our faith
Speaker 1: because we know Jesus has got us Yo. I keep
Speaker 1: saying yo. I don't know why I'm saying it, and
Speaker 1: I clapped right there because we need to tag him in.
Speaker 1: We need to tag Jesus in when we can't do
Speaker 1: it on our own. Because you want to know what
Speaker 1: you can rest your faith on the King. I'm of
Speaker 1: believers like me, like my wife, my kids, other believers.
Speaker 1: We go through the same thing. I'm not riding out
Speaker 1: a rainbow all the time. I'm not on the top
Speaker 1: of the mountain. I like being in the valley. Why
Speaker 1: I didn't say in the pit, or in the shoal
Speaker 1: or in the depths of hell. That's set a valley.
Speaker 1: Picture a valley with nothing but vegetation, flowers and green
Speaker 1: because that's where the valley gets all the nutrients. When
Speaker 1: the mountains soak down the water from the mountain, where
Speaker 1: does it go into the valley? You're being nourished with
Speaker 1: that holy water for growth in your life. We all
Speaker 1: want to continue to climb, and that's the problem. We
Speaker 1: keep climbing. We're climbing, We're climbing. We get to the
Speaker 1: top where there yo, mmm, we fall back down. Sometimes
Speaker 1: we fall all the way big deck down into the valley.
Speaker 1: We think it's the pits of hell, but it's the valley.
Speaker 1: And we need to learn to grow again by being humble.
Speaker 1: Didn't go with that pride. There's a kingdom of believers
Speaker 1: out there to suffer like you. We all suffer, but
Speaker 1: how do you handle it? And finally, and the God
Speaker 1: of all grace who called you to his eternal glory
Speaker 1: in Christ, after you suffered a little while will restore
Speaker 1: you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast. Now I
Speaker 1: know you may be thinking, why would I go through
Speaker 1: something like that? Why would I continue to go through that?
Speaker 1: Why would he allow me to go through that? Because
Speaker 1: he knows you're going to get through it. He knows
Speaker 1: you're going to come out on that other end. It's gratitude, gratitude, humility, pride.
Speaker 1: When we learn what these words are, especially in First
Speaker 1: Peter chapter five, verse five, it really soaks in. That's
Speaker 1: when we need to come to him. Guys, drop to
Speaker 1: our knees and just so show gratitude. No matter where
Speaker 1: you are in your life, you have breath in your lungs,
Speaker 1: gratitude to him that you're still alive and he's waiting
Speaker 1: for you to come to him. It's easy, it's simple,
Speaker 1: it's fun. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this episode of Bible Breakdown.
Speaker 1: We'll be bringing this to you guys over the next
Speaker 1: couple weeks on the show, and then after that we're
Speaker 1: gonna do music Verse Breakdown, some songs that really touch
