Speaker 1: I'm bad.
Speaker 2: It was something for you to think about. So I
Speaker 2: was listening to a pastor this morning, a well known pastor.
Speaker 2: He said something that kind of.
Speaker 3: Rubbed me the wrong way, and I felt a need
Speaker 3: to talk about.
Speaker 4: It because so many people are lost already, and we
Speaker 4: have to be careful of our words, because people are
Speaker 4: so desperate to belong to be a part of something
Speaker 4: that they would take your words and they would use
Speaker 4: those words and believe what they heard, and what was said.
Speaker 1: It's not true.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you what this person said, and then
Speaker 3: I'm gonna come back. This person said, if we don't
Speaker 3: pray for our loved.
Speaker 1: Ones, you know, all of our loved ones.
Speaker 5: Our sisters, our brothers, our children, uncles, aunties, grandma's, granddad, parents,
Speaker 5: all our loved ones, friends and other people that don't
Speaker 5: know the Lord or not following God, if we don't
Speaker 5: stand in the gap for them, that they will one
Speaker 5: day here depart from me, the worker of iniquity.
Speaker 1: Now, what was said is not necessarily untrue, but.
Speaker 3: The full context of it, if it makes sense, what
Speaker 3: I'm saying is not true, meaning it does not matter
Speaker 3: if you stand in the gap. Even if you stand
Speaker 3: in the gap. It does not mean people are going
Speaker 3: to go to heaven. It does not mean that people
Speaker 3: going to choose to live right. So I think that's
Speaker 3: a very serious, serious misinterpretation, and I think that's very
Speaker 3: detrimental and can be deadly because we don't have the
Speaker 3: power to keep a person from going.
Speaker 1: To heaven.
Speaker 3: We don't have that power even if we stand in
Speaker 3: the gap, because we are supposed to stand in the gap.
Speaker 1: Period. We're supposed to stand in the gap.
Speaker 3: But let me say it again, just because we stand
Speaker 3: in the gap does not mean we can prevent a
Speaker 3: person from going to heaven. So I just want to
Speaker 3: reference that because I think that's putting a lot of
Speaker 3: pressure on people, making people believe that it's on them.
Speaker 1: If a person here depart.
Speaker 3: From me, you worker of iniquity because they didn't stand
Speaker 3: in the gap for that person.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, that is not true.
Speaker 3: Because I said, even if you stand in the gap,
Speaker 3: which you should, people still have to want God for themselves.
Speaker 3: They still have to live the life according to God
Speaker 3: for themselves.
Speaker 1: You can stand in the gap all you want to.
Speaker 1: I know I do it for my children, but still
Speaker 1: they do what they want to do.
Speaker 3: All we can do is just keep praying, keep praying,
Speaker 3: keep praying, and then your praying, you gotta fast.
Speaker 1: We just gotta keep doing that and believing that they
Speaker 1: will someday do what they have been taught to do,
Speaker 1: and that's to follow Christ. So, as a person who's
Speaker 1: praying for other people, all people, not just family, but
Speaker 1: all people who don't know God and.
Speaker 3: The partying of their sins, we still have to understand
Speaker 3: that no matter how much we pray, people must want
Speaker 3: God for themselves. A lot of people know of God
Speaker 3: because they were raised in church, Like I was raised
Speaker 3: in church.
Speaker 1: All of my family was raised in church. My children
Speaker 1: were raised in church.
Speaker 3: But when you become an adult, you choose to go
Speaker 3: whichever way you want.
Speaker 1: The seed has been planted.
Speaker 3: And it will never escape their mind because the sea
Speaker 3: has been planted. But the choices they make is their own.
Speaker 3: So again, you can stand in the gap all day
Speaker 3: every day.
Speaker 1: Your family and.
Speaker 3: Friends and others must seek God for themselves. They must
Speaker 3: walk the talk for themselves. They must be hearers and
Speaker 3: doors of the Word for themselves, because we can't get
Speaker 3: them into Heaven our talking and our praying and our
Speaker 3: walking cannot get another soul into heaven.
Speaker 1: We have to do that on our own. I just
Speaker 1: had to say this because I really gassed when I
Speaker 1: heard that. I was like, oh wow, that's a lot
Speaker 1: to put on somebody saying.
Speaker 3: If you don't do this, these people will hear worker
Speaker 3: of iniquity depart from me, for I know I knew
Speaker 3: you not and I know you not. Don't make people
Speaker 3: think it'll be their fault because it's not. Yes again,
Speaker 3: let me say again, Yes, we should stand in the
Speaker 3: gap for those who don't serve the Lord, that don't really.
Speaker 1: Know him they know of him.
Speaker 3: Yes, we should always, always, always stand in the gap.
Speaker 3: But those people must know God for themselves. They must
Speaker 3: walk the path for themselves.
Speaker 1: See y'all's people, because of their great sense of belonging,
Speaker 1: want to be a part of something love, for to.
Speaker 3: Have their ears tickled, just engulfed by their emotions and
Speaker 3: their feelings.
Speaker 1: People will go along and they will worship.
Speaker 3: But then when they walk away from all of that
Speaker 3: high emotion of you know, being in church, being around
Speaker 3: the pastor and the choir and all of that, after
Speaker 3: they come down from their hype, from their emotions and
Speaker 3: their feelings, they go.
Speaker 1: Right back to who they really are.
Speaker 3: That's why so many people go to church, but they
Speaker 3: have no church in them, because they go to church
Speaker 3: out of tradition and they go to church to feel good,
Speaker 3: but it's not invoking any change.
Speaker 1: They will get in church and they will.
Speaker 3: Holler and raise their hand and speak out and everything
Speaker 3: everything positive because they're surrounded in that environment and they're
Speaker 3: feeling the emotions of other.
Speaker 1: People as well as their own.
Speaker 3: So it's easy to be motivated to cry out. It's
Speaker 3: easy because you're in that environment and emotions are very high,
Speaker 3: so people find it very easy to connect at that time.
Speaker 3: But then when they walk away from all of that
Speaker 3: and go back to their daily life, they are right
Speaker 3: back to be in the same people who talk it
Speaker 3: but don't walk it. And then they turn around and
Speaker 3: go right back to church, go right back to Bible
Speaker 3: study to get their hype.
Speaker 1: And that's why we're not seeing change in people.
Speaker 3: Millions upon millions upon millions of people profess Christ, but
Speaker 3: their lives.
Speaker 1: Show you the truth. You can't get to heaven on.
Speaker 3: My words, you can't get to heaven on my emotions
Speaker 3: and my feelings.
Speaker 1: You have to get to heaven on your own, on
Speaker 1: your own.
Speaker 3: You have to have change within yourself, permanent change, not
Speaker 3: temporary change. Where you go to church, you get hyped up,
Speaker 3: you feel the emotions, and you say.
Speaker 1: You love the Lord.
Speaker 3: You raise your hand, you stump your feet, you do whatever,
Speaker 3: because that's what people are around you are doing. People
Speaker 3: can't be around you twenty four hours a day, three
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty five days a year. You have to
Speaker 3: have God in you for yourself. It is the very
Speaker 3: reason why you can have church being broadcast over social
Speaker 3: media and you'll have forty thousand people on live stream.
Speaker 1: Forty thousand people put in.
Speaker 3: All of these wonderful comments in.
Speaker 1: The chat, but only probably.
Speaker 3: Teen out the whole forty thousand really really living that life.
Speaker 3: I mean I may be stretching it, but I mean
Speaker 3: short changing it, not stretching it.
Speaker 1: And then I may not I may not be.
Speaker 3: But my point is you'll have all of these people
Speaker 3: in the chat, seeing all of these wonderful things, say me, Lord,
Speaker 3: do this and do that because emotions are high. What
Speaker 3: they see they see, emotions are overflowing, and therefore the
Speaker 3: people in the chat feel it. But then once that
Speaker 3: services over, that chat goes away. People go right back
Speaker 3: to who they really are because there's no change in
Speaker 3: they feel those things because they're hyped up because of emotions.
Speaker 3: That's what's going to cause a lot of people.
Speaker 1: To go to hell.
Speaker 3: You have to know God for him for yourself. You
Speaker 3: cannot know God until you know his son. The Bible
Speaker 3: tells us that the only way till the Father is
Speaker 3: through his son. You must know that Jesus is the
Speaker 3: son of God. He died and he rose again. You
Speaker 3: must know those things. Roman ten and nine tell us
Speaker 3: that so you can say God, God, God, all you want.
Speaker 3: You got to go through the Son. Jesus is the
Speaker 3: mediator between us and God. That's why when you pray
Speaker 3: over everything, you say in Jesus' name, because he is
Speaker 3: the mediator.
Speaker 1: So until people look at the creator.
Speaker 3: And stop worshiping the creature, no change, no permanent change,
Speaker 3: is going to occur, because see, serving God, you have
Speaker 3: to become that new creature. That new creature understands totally
Speaker 3: different because that new creature is walking and talk, is
Speaker 3: a here and a doer. It's following God doing things
Speaker 3: God's way, not man's way. They're not hyped up on
Speaker 3: emotions because they have the Holy Spirit within them, and
Speaker 3: they have activated that spirit that Jesus, when Jesus went
Speaker 3: up to Heaven, God gave to us. We all have
Speaker 3: to do that for ourselves. We can stand in the
Speaker 3: gap all day. People can stand in the gap for us,
Speaker 3: but we have to do it for ourselves. And I
Speaker 3: know that I could not go forth in this day
Speaker 3: if I didn't come here and tell you this. We
Speaker 3: have to do, thus said the Lord, for ourselves. Getting
Speaker 3: our ears tickled. Every Sunday or every Bible study is
Speaker 3: not going to get it. Change must occur. If you
Speaker 3: say you love God, you say you love Jesus, automatically,
Speaker 3: you would live for him. You're not trying to feel
Speaker 3: the emotions through somebody else. You will live for him every.
Speaker 1: Day, all day. You have to have the mind in.
Speaker 3: The heart of God, serving God, living as though you know.
Speaker 1: God is watching you. Most people don't.
Speaker 3: Most people don't live that way. They're tipping, dipping, hiding
Speaker 3: just all kinds of things from man.
Speaker 1: But they're forgiving.
Speaker 3: God sees everything, God hears everything, God knows everything. So
Speaker 3: once a Sunday, once a Bible study, it's not.
Speaker 1: Gonna do it.
Speaker 3: You can't be in it a little ways. You have
Speaker 3: to be all in it. You must be sold out.
Speaker 3: And that's just that's the way it is. The Bible
Speaker 3: tells us that anything else, you're living in vain. You're
Speaker 3: completely living in vain. Any other way.
Speaker 1: Millions and millions and millions and millions.
Speaker 3: And millions professed him, but their hearts are far from him.
Speaker 1: More will go to hell, then we'll go to heaven.
Speaker 3: Because people are getting they're pumped up and their hype
Speaker 3: from the creature and not the creator. And that's all
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I'm leaving it right there. Please share this episode.
Speaker 3: Much love to each and every one of you. I
Speaker 3: pray that you change, You repent, and you change, and
Speaker 3: you don't look back. Don't be like lots of life,
Speaker 3: do not look back. There's nothing back there for you.
Speaker 3: Stay strong, be blessed. I end every episode the same,
Speaker 3: and I pray you do it, think on it.
