WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.720 --> 00:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm bad.

2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:10.359
<v Speaker 2>It was something for you to think about. So I

3
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:15.880
<v Speaker 2>was listening to a pastor this morning, a well known pastor.

4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>He said something that kind of.

5
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Rubbed me the wrong way, and I felt a need

6
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:29.160
<v Speaker 3>to talk about.

7
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 4>It because so many people are lost already, and we

8
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 4>have to be careful of our words, because people are

9
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 4>so desperate to belong to be a part of something

10
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 4>that they would take your words and they would use

11
00:00:52.600 --> 00:01:01.159
<v Speaker 4>those words and believe what they heard, and what was said.

12
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 1>It's not true.

13
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna tell you what this person said, and then

14
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna come back. This person said, if we don't

15
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 3>pray for our loved.

16
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Ones, you know, all of our loved ones.

17
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 5>Our sisters, our brothers, our children, uncles, aunties, grandma's, granddad, parents,

18
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 5>all our loved ones, friends and other people that don't

19
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 5>know the Lord or not following God, if we don't

20
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 5>stand in the gap for them, that they will one

21
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 5>day here depart from me, the worker of iniquity.

22
00:01:49.280 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Now, what was said is not necessarily untrue, but.

23
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 3>The full context of it, if it makes sense, what

24
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying is not true, meaning it does not matter

25
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 3>if you stand in the gap. Even if you stand

26
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 3>in the gap. It does not mean people are going

27
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.520
<v Speaker 3>to go to heaven. It does not mean that people

28
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 3>going to choose to live right. So I think that's

29
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 3>a very serious, serious misinterpretation, and I think that's very

30
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 3>detrimental and can be deadly because we don't have the

31
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 3>power to keep a person from going.

32
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>To heaven.

33
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 3>We don't have that power even if we stand in

34
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 3>the gap, because we are supposed to stand in the gap.

35
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>Period. We're supposed to stand in the gap.

36
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 3>But let me say it again, just because we stand

37
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 3>in the gap does not mean we can prevent a

38
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 3>person from going to heaven. So I just want to

39
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 3>reference that because I think that's putting a lot of

40
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 3>pressure on people, making people believe that it's on them.

41
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>If a person here depart.

42
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 3>From me, you worker of iniquity because they didn't stand

43
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 3>in the gap for that person.

44
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, no, no, that is not true.

45
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Because I said, even if you stand in the gap,

46
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 3>which you should, people still have to want God for themselves.

47
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 3>They still have to live the life according to God

48
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 3>for themselves.

49
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 1>You can stand in the gap all you want to.

50
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>I know I do it for my children, but still

51
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>they do what they want to do.

52
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 3>All we can do is just keep praying, keep praying,

53
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 3>keep praying, and then your praying, you gotta fast.

54
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:51.439
<v Speaker 1>We just gotta keep doing that and believing that they

55
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>will someday do what they have been taught to do,

56
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:08.399
<v Speaker 1>and that's to follow Christ. So, as a person who's

57
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 1>praying for other people, all people, not just family, but

58
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>all people who don't know God and.

59
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 3>The partying of their sins, we still have to understand

60
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 3>that no matter how much we pray, people must want

61
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:36.360
<v Speaker 3>God for themselves. A lot of people know of God

62
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 3>because they were raised in church, Like I was raised

63
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 3>in church.

64
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 1>All of my family was raised in church. My children

65
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 1>were raised in church.

66
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 3>But when you become an adult, you choose to go

67
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 3>whichever way you want.

68
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>The seed has been planted.

69
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:02.360
<v Speaker 3>And it will never escape their mind because the sea

70
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 3>has been planted. But the choices they make is their own.

71
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 3>So again, you can stand in the gap all day

72
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 3>every day.

73
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 1>Your family and.

74
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Friends and others must seek God for themselves. They must

75
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:29.279
<v Speaker 3>walk the talk for themselves. They must be hearers and

76
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 3>doors of the Word for themselves, because we can't get

77
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 3>them into Heaven our talking and our praying and our

78
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 3>walking cannot get another soul into heaven.

79
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>We have to do that on our own. I just

80
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 1>had to say this because I really gassed when I

81
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>heard that. I was like, oh wow, that's a lot

82
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.160
<v Speaker 1>to put on somebody saying.

83
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 3>If you don't do this, these people will hear worker

84
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.120
<v Speaker 3>of iniquity depart from me, for I know I knew

85
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:21.399
<v Speaker 3>you not and I know you not. Don't make people

86
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:27.319
<v Speaker 3>think it'll be their fault because it's not. Yes again,

87
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 3>let me say again, Yes, we should stand in the

88
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:36.560
<v Speaker 3>gap for those who don't serve the Lord, that don't really.

89
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Know him they know of him.

90
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we should always, always, always stand in the gap.

91
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 3>But those people must know God for themselves. They must

92
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.160
<v Speaker 3>walk the path for themselves.

93
00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>See y'all's people, because of their great sense of belonging,

94
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 1>want to be a part of something love, for to.

95
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 3>Have their ears tickled, just engulfed by their emotions and

96
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.160
<v Speaker 3>their feelings.

97
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>People will go along and they will worship.

98
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 3>But then when they walk away from all of that

99
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 3>high emotion of you know, being in church, being around

100
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 3>the pastor and the choir and all of that, after

101
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 3>they come down from their hype, from their emotions and

102
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 3>their feelings, they go.

103
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Right back to who they really are.

104
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 3>That's why so many people go to church, but they

105
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.279
<v Speaker 3>have no church in them, because they go to church

106
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 3>out of tradition and they go to church to feel good,

107
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:05.759
<v Speaker 3>but it's not invoking any change.

108
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:10.200
<v Speaker 1>They will get in church and they will.

109
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Holler and raise their hand and speak out and everything

110
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:25.039
<v Speaker 3>everything positive because they're surrounded in that environment and they're

111
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 3>feeling the emotions of other.

112
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.080
<v Speaker 1>People as well as their own.

113
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 3>So it's easy to be motivated to cry out. It's

114
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:47.480
<v Speaker 3>easy because you're in that environment and emotions are very high,

115
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:52.879
<v Speaker 3>so people find it very easy to connect at that time.

116
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.399
<v Speaker 3>But then when they walk away from all of that

117
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.559
<v Speaker 3>and go back to their daily life, they are right

118
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:05.799
<v Speaker 3>back to be in the same people who talk it

119
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:11.679
<v Speaker 3>but don't walk it. And then they turn around and

120
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:14.600
<v Speaker 3>go right back to church, go right back to Bible

121
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 3>study to get their hype.

122
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.919
<v Speaker 1>And that's why we're not seeing change in people.

123
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 3>Millions upon millions upon millions of people profess Christ, but

124
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 3>their lives.

125
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Show you the truth. You can't get to heaven on.

126
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:45.480
<v Speaker 3>My words, you can't get to heaven on my emotions

127
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:46.480
<v Speaker 3>and my feelings.

128
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:54.559
<v Speaker 1>You have to get to heaven on your own, on

129
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:55.159
<v Speaker 1>your own.

130
00:10:55.559 --> 00:11:00.840
<v Speaker 3>You have to have change within yourself, permanent change, not

131
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.759
<v Speaker 3>temporary change. Where you go to church, you get hyped up,

132
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 3>you feel the emotions, and you say.

133
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.159
<v Speaker 1>You love the Lord.

134
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 3>You raise your hand, you stump your feet, you do whatever,

135
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 3>because that's what people are around you are doing. People

136
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 3>can't be around you twenty four hours a day, three

137
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 3>hundred and sixty five days a year. You have to

138
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 3>have God in you for yourself. It is the very

139
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:41.600
<v Speaker 3>reason why you can have church being broadcast over social

140
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 3>media and you'll have forty thousand people on live stream.

141
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.759
<v Speaker 1>Forty thousand people put in.

142
00:11:53.919 --> 00:12:00.559
<v Speaker 3>All of these wonderful comments in.

143
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.639
<v Speaker 1>The chat, but only probably.

144
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Teen out the whole forty thousand really really living that life.

145
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean I may be stretching it, but I mean

146
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 3>short changing it, not stretching it.

147
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>And then I may not I may not be.

148
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.559
<v Speaker 3>But my point is you'll have all of these people

149
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:34.279
<v Speaker 3>in the chat, seeing all of these wonderful things, say me, Lord,

150
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 3>do this and do that because emotions are high. What

151
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:43.639
<v Speaker 3>they see they see, emotions are overflowing, and therefore the

152
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 3>people in the chat feel it. But then once that

153
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.519
<v Speaker 3>services over, that chat goes away. People go right back

154
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 3>to who they really are because there's no change in

155
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:09.039
<v Speaker 3>they feel those things because they're hyped up because of emotions.

156
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 3>That's what's going to cause a lot of people.

157
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 1>To go to hell.

158
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 3>You have to know God for him for yourself. You

159
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 3>cannot know God until you know his son. The Bible

160
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.960
<v Speaker 3>tells us that the only way till the Father is

161
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.799
<v Speaker 3>through his son. You must know that Jesus is the

162
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.440
<v Speaker 3>son of God. He died and he rose again. You

163
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 3>must know those things. Roman ten and nine tell us

164
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:50.480
<v Speaker 3>that so you can say God, God, God, all you want.

165
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 3>You got to go through the Son. Jesus is the

166
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:59.120
<v Speaker 3>mediator between us and God. That's why when you pray

167
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:04.840
<v Speaker 3>over everything, you say in Jesus' name, because he is

168
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 3>the mediator.

169
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:16.480
<v Speaker 1>So until people look at the creator.

170
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:22.480
<v Speaker 3>And stop worshiping the creature, no change, no permanent change,

171
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 3>is going to occur, because see, serving God, you have

172
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:37.039
<v Speaker 3>to become that new creature. That new creature understands totally

173
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 3>different because that new creature is walking and talk, is

174
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.919
<v Speaker 3>a here and a doer. It's following God doing things

175
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:51.039
<v Speaker 3>God's way, not man's way. They're not hyped up on

176
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:56.320
<v Speaker 3>emotions because they have the Holy Spirit within them, and

177
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:04.240
<v Speaker 3>they have activated that spirit that Jesus, when Jesus went

178
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 3>up to Heaven, God gave to us. We all have

179
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 3>to do that for ourselves. We can stand in the

180
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:18.360
<v Speaker 3>gap all day. People can stand in the gap for us,

181
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:26.000
<v Speaker 3>but we have to do it for ourselves. And I

182
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 3>know that I could not go forth in this day

183
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.879
<v Speaker 3>if I didn't come here and tell you this. We

184
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:40.360
<v Speaker 3>have to do, thus said the Lord, for ourselves. Getting

185
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:44.320
<v Speaker 3>our ears tickled. Every Sunday or every Bible study is

186
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 3>not going to get it. Change must occur. If you

187
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Speaker 3>say you love God, you say you love Jesus, automatically,

188
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:04.120
<v Speaker 3>you would live for him. You're not trying to feel

189
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 3>the emotions through somebody else. You will live for him every.

190
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Day, all day. You have to have the mind in.

191
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:26.440
<v Speaker 3>The heart of God, serving God, living as though you know.

192
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:33.120
<v Speaker 1>God is watching you. Most people don't.

193
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Most people don't live that way. They're tipping, dipping, hiding

194
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 3>just all kinds of things from man.

195
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:47.639
<v Speaker 1>But they're forgiving.

196
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:54.799
<v Speaker 3>God sees everything, God hears everything, God knows everything. So

197
00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:01.480
<v Speaker 3>once a Sunday, once a Bible study, it's not.

198
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Gonna do it.

199
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.359
<v Speaker 3>You can't be in it a little ways. You have

200
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:10.640
<v Speaker 3>to be all in it. You must be sold out.

201
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 3>And that's just that's the way it is. The Bible

202
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:26.160
<v Speaker 3>tells us that anything else, you're living in vain. You're

203
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.599
<v Speaker 3>completely living in vain. Any other way.

204
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Millions and millions and millions and millions.

205
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:40.400
<v Speaker 3>And millions professed him, but their hearts are far from him.

206
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 1>More will go to hell, then we'll go to heaven.

207
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:53.359
<v Speaker 3>Because people are getting they're pumped up and their hype

208
00:17:55.079 --> 00:18:00.359
<v Speaker 3>from the creature and not the creator. And that's all

209
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:06.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying. I'm leaving it right there. Please share this episode.

210
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.119
<v Speaker 3>Much love to each and every one of you. I

211
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:14.200
<v Speaker 3>pray that you change, You repent, and you change, and

212
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.799
<v Speaker 3>you don't look back. Don't be like lots of life,

213
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.960
<v Speaker 3>do not look back. There's nothing back there for you.

214
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:29.039
<v Speaker 3>Stay strong, be blessed. I end every episode the same,

215
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:33.240
<v Speaker 3>and I pray you do it, think on it.
