Speaker 1: Like I say, I always appreciate you guys giving me
Speaker 1: the platform to be able to do a Bible study
Speaker 1: for your audience. I know, guys, listen, okay, I understand, man.
Speaker 1: The conspiracies they get you, you know, they suck you in,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's very important to know the conspiracy
Speaker 1: so that you know your enemy, right. You want to
Speaker 1: know your enemies. So I know exactly why you guys
Speaker 1: are into and while I'm into it and I definitely
Speaker 1: get sucked into it. But what I try to tell
Speaker 1: people is the truth is the most important because we
Speaker 1: are truthers. That's what we are trying to find out.
Speaker 1: So for me, when I have an audience like you guys,
Speaker 1: it really makes me excited and happy because I know
Speaker 1: you guys are looking for the truth and I personally
Speaker 1: believe that the Bible is the truth. Jesus is the Way,
Speaker 1: the Truth, the life, and we are going to definitely
Speaker 1: be digging into some stuff in the New Testament on
Speaker 1: Wednesday's service, and we are going over stuff that Jesus
Speaker 1: did during his ministry. What a blessing. Thank you Lord
Speaker 1: for this opportunity. Really, Lord, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: this opportunity. I really appreciate it. And for you to
Speaker 1: give me an audience like you guys for me to
Speaker 1: teach is such a blessing. You guys don't even know
Speaker 1: how much it helps me and assists me in my
Speaker 1: daily life, in my daily walk. To be digging into
Speaker 1: Bible verses and then coming on and speaking to you
Speaker 1: guys about it, it really really helps out. So, without
Speaker 1: further ado, let's get to the scriptures and if you
Speaker 1: can see this on if you can see on video,
Speaker 1: which probably on the Patreon, I think that's the only
Speaker 1: place that the video is available, then you guys will
Speaker 1: be able to see the verses on the screen. So
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and get into Matthew eight. Verse one,
Speaker 1: Jesus cleanses a leper when he had come down from
Speaker 1: the mountain. Great multitudes follow him, and behold, a leper
Speaker 1: came and worshiped him, saying, Lord, if you are willing,
Speaker 1: you can make me clean. One thing we got to
Speaker 1: know about lepers. So back then, when you were walking
Speaker 1: by a leper, they would have to scream unclean, uncleaned
Speaker 1: because they people, if you touched the leper, then you
Speaker 1: would be unclean. Uh, you know it's a disease that
Speaker 1: uh that's very contagious and and uh it's it's a
Speaker 1: disease of the skin. Right, so people, if you touched
Speaker 1: a leper, then you would be uncleaned. You know. So
Speaker 1: Jesus does something here that's that just shows you that
Speaker 1: Jesus is greater than any disease. Okay, if he touches you,
Speaker 1: then he's not unclean. And if he touches you, or
Speaker 1: if he chooses to, he can heal you. And he
Speaker 1: doesn't even have to touch you. He can heal you
Speaker 1: from a distance, you know. But he ends up touching
Speaker 1: people and healing them that way. Excuse me. So it says,
Speaker 1: then Jesus put out his hand and touched him, saying
Speaker 1: I am willing be cleansed. Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being somebody like that, the leper that's
Speaker 1: walking around. People are persecuting you, and people are are
Speaker 1: making fun of you. And also people don't even want
Speaker 1: to touch you after you become a leper. Back then
Speaker 1: then that's what they would call him, like a leopard.
Speaker 1: After you become a leper, you don't really get to
Speaker 1: feel human touch anymore because people don't want to touch you.
Speaker 1: People don't want to hug you. Your own family doesn't
Speaker 1: want to hug you because they don't want to become
Speaker 1: unclean in the sight of other people. And also they
Speaker 1: don't want to be unclean, you know, if they catch leprosy.
Speaker 1: They don't want to do that. So you actually don't
Speaker 1: even get human touch. You know, I'm not really sure
Speaker 1: how that worked with, you know, somebody having a wife.
Speaker 1: I don't really know, you know, I wouldn't know that part,
Speaker 1: but I know that it's been said that, you know,
Speaker 1: people wouldn't touch you after you had leprosy, says and
Speaker 1: Jesus said to him, see that you tell no one,
Speaker 1: but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and
Speaker 1: offer the gift that Moses commanded as a testimony to them.
Speaker 1: So see that you tell no one but go your way,
Speaker 1: show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that
Speaker 1: Moses commanded. Is a testimony to them. Okay, so excuse me.
Speaker 1: So we have a Jesus heals a centurion's servant. It says, now,
Speaker 1: when Jesus had entered Capernaium, a centurion came and came
Speaker 1: to him, pleading with him, saying, Lord, my servant is
Speaker 1: lying at home, paralyzed, dreadfully tormented. Okay, so let's look
Speaker 1: at something real quick. So in Matthew's version, it says
Speaker 1: that the centurion came to him, pleading with him, saying, Lord,
Speaker 1: my servant is lying at home, paralyzed, dreadfully tormented. But
Speaker 1: if you go to Luke's, which Luke is always more detailed,
Speaker 1: Matthew always gives you like an abbreviated version. He's not
Speaker 1: like super detailed. So it's actually not the centurion that
Speaker 1: came himself. It's actually let me show you what it
Speaker 1: actually is. And just to let you know the reason
Speaker 1: why Matthew does this, because if spun, if somebody comes
Speaker 1: back then and speaks on your behalf, it's as if
Speaker 1: you are speaking. Okay, so that's the reason why Matthew
Speaker 1: did this. But in Luke seven, verses one through five,
Speaker 1: let's read that. Now, when he concluded all his sayings
Speaker 1: in the hearing of the people. He entered Copernium and
Speaker 1: a certain centurion servant who was dear to him, was
Speaker 1: sick and ready to die. So when he heard about Jesus,
Speaker 1: he sent elders to the Jews to him, pleaded with
Speaker 1: him to come and heal his servant. And when they
Speaker 1: came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying that the
Speaker 1: one for whom he should do this was deserving, for
Speaker 1: he loves our nation and he and he has built
Speaker 1: us a synagogue. So he sent elders of the Jews
Speaker 1: to him. So he's a Roman centurion and he sent
Speaker 1: elders of the Jews to him, right, So that's what
Speaker 1: really happened. But they were speaking on the Centurnian's behalf.
Speaker 1: So when Matthew says that the Saturnian came to him
Speaker 1: and pleaded with him, saying, Lord, my servant is lying
Speaker 1: at home, paralyzed, drectfully tormented, that's the abbreviated version. It's
Speaker 1: not actually the centurion, it's actually the Jewish elders that came.
Speaker 1: So the centurion asked the Jewish elders to come and
Speaker 1: speak to him on his behalf. And I just want
Speaker 1: to let you know that because it's when you get
Speaker 1: to Luke. When we get to Luke and you hear
Speaker 1: that same exact story retold, I don't want you to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, you told me that it was the
Speaker 1: centurion that came. No, it's actually the Jewish elders that came.
Speaker 1: So I just won't let you know that, okay. And
Speaker 1: I know because Luke is usually more detailed. He was
Speaker 1: a doctor, he was super smart, intelligent, educated man, not
Speaker 1: saying that Matthew was not smart. But you know, Luke
Speaker 1: is a doctor, he's educated. So I think he just
Speaker 1: wrote with more detail. I think Matthew gives you the
Speaker 1: abbreviated version, okay. And Jesus said to him, I will
Speaker 1: come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord,
Speaker 1: I am not worthy that you should come under my roof,
Speaker 1: but only speak a word and my servant will be healed. See,
Speaker 1: for I am also a man under authority, having soldiers
Speaker 1: under me. And I say, and I say to this one,
Speaker 1: go and he goes to another. Come and he comes
Speaker 1: and to my servant, do this, and he does it.
Speaker 1: So the centurion is saying, Lord, I am not worthy
Speaker 1: that you should come under my roof. Basically, I'm not
Speaker 1: worthy for you to come to my house. I know
Speaker 1: that you were powerful enough to just speak the word
Speaker 1: and his servant will be healed. So he has faith
Speaker 1: that Jesus doesn't even have to go to his house.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even have to travel to his house. He
Speaker 1: has faith that Jesus can heal him from where he's at. Okay,
Speaker 1: that is that is true faith. And Jesus recognizes that.
Speaker 1: He recognizes that nobody else would talk to was talking
Speaker 1: to Jesus like that. You know, this is a leader.
Speaker 1: Speak it to a leader. Though you know, when Jesus
Speaker 1: heard it, he marveled. So Jesus marveled at the belief
Speaker 1: that the that the Centurnion he had. Right, that the
Speaker 1: faith that the centurion had, there's only like one other
Speaker 1: place that that that I saw that Jesus marveled. And
Speaker 1: it's actually instead of somebody's belief or faith, it was
Speaker 1: the lack of belief or lack of faith, and that
Speaker 1: in Mark six four through six. But Jesus said to them,
Speaker 1: a prophet is not without honor, excepting his own country,
Speaker 1: among his own relatives, and his own house. Now he
Speaker 1: could do mighty work there, except that he had laid
Speaker 1: his hands on a few people, sick people, and healed them.
Speaker 1: And he marveled because of their unbelief. Then he went
Speaker 1: about the village in a circuit teaching. See he marvels
Speaker 1: in this verse about their unbelief. You see. So, but
Speaker 1: right here it says, when Jesus heard it, we're going
Speaker 1: to go back to Matthew verse ten. When Jesus heard it,
Speaker 1: he marveled and said to those who followed, as surely
Speaker 1: I say to you, I have now found such great faith,
Speaker 1: not even in Israel. And I say to you that
Speaker 1: many will come from east and west and sit down
Speaker 1: with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Speaker 1: But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out
Speaker 1: in the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing
Speaker 1: of teeth. Then Jesus said to the centurion, go your way,
Speaker 1: as you believed, So let it be done for you,
Speaker 1: as your servant was healed that same hour. So, Jesus,
Speaker 1: you see, when God sees that you have faith, you know,
Speaker 1: it says like if you have the faith of a
Speaker 1: mustard seed. Right when God sees that you have faith
Speaker 1: like that where you automatically think that someone's going to
Speaker 1: be healed, then then God he really loves that, you know,
Speaker 1: you could tell he marvels at that kind of faith.
Speaker 1: But what's up with this part where he says many
Speaker 1: will come from the east west and sit down. See
Speaker 1: it says not even in Israel. So we speaking of
Speaker 1: the of the Jews right here, he says, and I
Speaker 1: say to you that many will come from east and
Speaker 1: west and sit down from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of Heaven. But the sons of the Kingdom
Speaker 1: will be cast out in the outer darkness. So he's
Speaker 1: talking about the Jews. He's saying that many gentiles will
Speaker 1: come from the east and the West and be saved
Speaker 1: and be able to sit down with Abraham, Isaac and
Speaker 1: Jacob and the Kingdom of Heaven. But the sons of
Speaker 1: the Kingdom, the Jews that think they're the chosen, who
Speaker 1: don't believe in Jesus and who have no faith because
Speaker 1: we're saved by grace through faith, will But the sons
Speaker 1: of the Kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness,
Speaker 1: and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. You understand.
Speaker 1: So the people that think but they have a seat
Speaker 1: at that table, they don't have a seat at that
Speaker 1: table because they're still living under the law. So g
Speaker 1: Jesus past dies on the cross. You see, they're not
Speaker 1: going to believe, they're not going to have faith, they're
Speaker 1: not going to receive Jesus as the Messiah. Then they're
Speaker 1: going to be the ones that are cast into outer darkness.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that every Jewish person or everybody's
Speaker 1: on that list. No, He's saying that there's going to
Speaker 1: be many that will come from the East and West
Speaker 1: and sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, with the
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Heaven, many gentiles, and the ones that think
Speaker 1: that they that they are chosen for that seat, and
Speaker 1: they're not going to be sitting there at that table.
Speaker 1: They'll be cast out in outer darkness. I think that's
Speaker 1: super important for people to know. Then Jesus said to
Speaker 1: the centurion, go your way as you believed, so let
Speaker 1: it be done for you. And as servant was healed
Speaker 1: that same hour. Very very interesting. Right there, that is
Speaker 1: true faith right there, where you think it's autumn, you
Speaker 1: basically believe it's automat done already, that is faith. Peter's
Speaker 1: mother in law healed. Now, when Jesus came into Peter's house,
Speaker 1: he saw his wife's mother lying sick with the fever.
Speaker 1: So we touched her hand, and the fever left her,
Speaker 1: and he arose and served them many healed in the evening.
Speaker 1: When evening had come, they brought to him many who
Speaker 1: were demon possessed, and he cast out the spirits what
Speaker 1: they were, and healed all who were sick, that it
Speaker 1: might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Speaker 1: he himself took our infirmities and bore our sickness. Speaking
Speaker 1: of sickness, Lord, please, Lord, ask you in Jesus's name,
Speaker 1: you show the Missack's name to heal me. Lord, heal
Speaker 1: my voice. Heal my voice, Lord, please Lord, and amen
Speaker 1: the cost of disciple. And when Jesus saw great multitudes
Speaker 1: about him, he gave a command to depart to the
Speaker 1: other side. Then a certain scribe came and said to him, Teacher,
Speaker 1: I will follow you wherever you go. And Jesus said
Speaker 1: to him. Foxes have holes, and birds have the air
Speaker 1: of nests. But the son of man has nowhere to
Speaker 1: lay his head. So what Jesus is saying right here
Speaker 1: is okay, you want to follow me, well, understand something.
Speaker 1: Foxes have holes that they dig they get to burrow in,
Speaker 1: and that's their home. Birds of the air they have
Speaker 1: a home too, They have nests. But Jesus is saying
Speaker 1: he has nowhere to lay his head. He's homeless. So
Speaker 1: if you're ready to follow me, you better be ready
Speaker 1: to be homeless. You better be ready to be persecuted,
Speaker 1: and you better be ready for a hard ride. It's
Speaker 1: not easy, and I know that myself. You know, when
Speaker 1: you start walking with God, your road is not easy. Okay.
Speaker 1: It is not about this prosperity gospel that people try
Speaker 1: to say where if your road isn't easy, then it's
Speaker 1: because you ain't because you're sinning and you're not saved.
Speaker 1: Like that is just not true. If you notice the
Speaker 1: people that have an easy road and they're not being
Speaker 1: you know, devil's not attacking them, or demons aren't attacking them,
Speaker 1: it's because you're already in the position the devil wants
Speaker 1: you to be. So once you start walking with God,
Speaker 1: the road gets hard, you know, because narrow is the path, right,
Speaker 1: It's not a wide path. It's narrow because you have
Speaker 1: to try to discipline yourself to be obedient. Right. That says,
Speaker 1: Now we're going to get back to Matthew eight verse
Speaker 1: twenty one. Then another of his disciples said to him,
Speaker 1: let me first go and bury my father. But Jesus
Speaker 1: said to him, follow me, and let the dead bury
Speaker 1: their own dead. Now, some people will have a problem
Speaker 1: with this verse. I even had somebody talk to me
Speaker 1: on Instagram before about this verse and say, ah, that's look,
Speaker 1: how terrible Jesus is. Oh my goodness. So if you're
Speaker 1: gonna follow me, Jesus is saying, drop everything and follow me,
Speaker 1: just leave it. Because I'm sure there was a lot
Speaker 1: of people that said, Jesus, I'm gonna follow you. I'm
Speaker 1: ready to go, and they followed him and they were like,
Speaker 1: in no way, I'm done. A lot of people will
Speaker 1: probably weren't committing to the walk because it's not easy
Speaker 1: and back then imagine that. Imagine Jesus saying, don't take
Speaker 1: any money with you, don't take any food with you,
Speaker 1: and you're not gonna have a place, and you don't
Speaker 1: have a home. We're gonna go town to town and
Speaker 1: we're gonna depend on the Lord to provide, God will provide.
Speaker 1: You know, you walking by faith the people, you know,
Speaker 1: for some of them, it's it's it's hard, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard for a lot of people to
Speaker 1: just walk by faith. Theyways got to be in control,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's hard. But what he's telling
Speaker 1: them is follow me and let the deadbury of your
Speaker 1: own dead. What's more important. You know, Jesus doesn't want
Speaker 1: you to put your wife ahead of him, doesn't want
Speaker 1: you to put your kids ahead of him, doesn't want
Speaker 1: you to put your mom and dad, your mommy and
Speaker 1: daddy ahead of him. Jesus wants you to put him
Speaker 1: number one. God wants you to put him number one. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what he wants, no matter what your your your work,
Speaker 1: your job, your business, your bank account, your food, your water,
Speaker 1: all that stuff, all that stuff that you need to live,
Speaker 1: you know, this life that we live. Your house, your cars,
Speaker 1: all this stuff that all gets put on the back burner.
Speaker 1: Place God first, seek God first, and everything else to follow. Right.
Speaker 1: So he's just telling this guy, the guy said, I
Speaker 1: will follow you wherever you go. Okay, well let's see that.
Speaker 1: Let me test you, say, he said he's homeless, and
Speaker 1: then that guy kind of backed out and said, let
Speaker 1: me go first and bury my father. And back then
Speaker 1: it was very honorary for you to take care of
Speaker 1: your parents, so it was honory, you know. But Jesus
Speaker 1: probably knew that that the father is not going to
Speaker 1: die as fast as this guy thought, and it was
Speaker 1: probably just an excuse for this guy to go. It's
Speaker 1: not explained here, but that's I think I'm kind of
Speaker 1: speculating that that's probably what happened. Jesus knows when that
Speaker 1: father's going to die, and this guy just thinks I
Speaker 1: need to go back and take care of my dad first.
Speaker 1: And it's like, wait, we got time for that, bro.
Speaker 1: If you want to follow me, let's go. If the
Speaker 1: dead can bury their own dead. And you know what,
Speaker 1: that might sound offensive to people, but it's not offensive
Speaker 1: when you know how your walk should be with the Lord.
Speaker 1: And he's talking to Jesus, God in the flesh himself
Speaker 1: right there. So the reason why I know it's right
Speaker 1: and I know it's okay is because Jesus said it.
Speaker 1: You know, then we know it's good. We know that
Speaker 1: Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. So what
Speaker 1: he's speaking right there is the truth. So wind and wave,
Speaker 1: the wind and waves obey Jesus. I'm reading the top.
Speaker 1: There's like a little porson that they give you right
Speaker 1: there there. All that basically kind of overviews what the
Speaker 1: what the verses are going to be like. So this
Speaker 1: is going to be Matthew eight, verse twenty three. Now
Speaker 1: what he got into a boat. His disciples followed him,
Speaker 1: and suddenly a great temptess arose in the sea, so
Speaker 1: that the boat was covered with waves. But he was asleep.
Speaker 1: Then his disciples came to him and awoke him, saying, Lord,
Speaker 1: save us, we are perishing. But he said to them,
Speaker 1: why are you fearful, oh you of little faith? Then
Speaker 1: he arose and rebuked the winds and sea, and there
Speaker 1: was a cop and that there was a great calm.
Speaker 1: So the men marveled, saying, who can this be that
Speaker 1: even the winds in the sea obey him? Stop there? Now, wow,
Speaker 1: we got the We got the winds and the seas
Speaker 1: and the storm obeying Jesus. So the storm was there
Speaker 1: that there was also fishermen's on thet There's like people
Speaker 1: that were fishermen on the boat. They know that Sea
Speaker 1: of Galilee, you know. And what he wanted from his
Speaker 1: disciples is to act in the spiritual and have faith
Speaker 1: and decided danger not the physical, and have fear like
Speaker 1: they had, you know, Like he wants them to not
Speaker 1: have fear, you know, he wants them to have faith, like, dude,
Speaker 1: this is Jesus. Dude. He's healing the blind, he's healing
Speaker 1: people that are paralyzed, he's healing people with leprosy. He's
Speaker 1: showing you all these miracles right in front of your face.
Speaker 1: And you know, but the thing is, they haven't seen
Speaker 1: him control the weather or stop the waves of the ocean.
Speaker 1: They know that they you know, are you know, to
Speaker 1: stop the seas like that. That's something that's like they
Speaker 1: thought maybe you might be out of his out of
Speaker 1: his realm, Like hey, he's able to heal, yes, you know,
Speaker 1: but they didn't know, you know, because they they know that,
Speaker 1: you know, God is the only one that could that
Speaker 1: could control the weather and and and and the seas
Speaker 1: and the waves. They probably knew because if you go
Speaker 1: to Psalms eighty nine, verses seven through nine, it says
Speaker 1: God is greatly to be feared in the Assembly of
Speaker 1: the Saints and to be held in reverence by all
Speaker 1: those around him. Oh Lord, God of Host, who is
Speaker 1: mighty like you, Oh Lord, your faithfulness also surrounds you.
Speaker 1: You rule the raging of the sea. When it's waves rise,
Speaker 1: you still them. So even in Psalms eighty nine, verses
Speaker 1: seven through nine, it says that you rule the raging
Speaker 1: of the sea. When it's when waves rise, you still them.
Speaker 1: You make them still right. So excuse me, we know
Speaker 1: that Jesus. I mean, some people know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Some people believe in the Trinity, some people don't. I
Speaker 1: do believe in the Trinity. Currently, I'm open. I've studied
Speaker 1: like crazy on oneness. I've studied crazy you know, Unitarian,
Speaker 1: and at this moment I'm a Trinitarian. So I do
Speaker 1: believe that Jesus is God. Okay, But what I would
Speaker 1: say is he's not really having to say like I'm God.
Speaker 1: What he does is he shows you, you know, So
Speaker 1: anybody that can control the seas, now, do I think
Speaker 1: Satan he's the prints of the air? I think, uh,
Speaker 1: governmental means and and and maybe fallen angel technology that
Speaker 1: they're kind of using where they're able to control the
Speaker 1: weather in ways. Harp you guys know about the conspiracy
Speaker 1: of all this stuff, so maybe cause fires, uh, direct
Speaker 1: energy weapons, you know, a bunch of different stuff that
Speaker 1: the government has created, uh through technology. Uh. Where they're
Speaker 1: able to cloud seed and they're trying to make it
Speaker 1: rain Operation Popeye. You see, they can make it rain.
Speaker 1: They can cloud seed Dubai. They did it. So it's
Speaker 1: happening now. Where they're able to manipulate the weather, but
Speaker 1: they're not able to stop the wind and not able
Speaker 1: to stop the ocean and the waves. Okay, that ain't happening.
Speaker 1: They're able to maybe create some wind, but they're not
Speaker 1: able to stop the wind by saying wind stop. They're
Speaker 1: not able to stop the seas from being raging. And
Speaker 1: the seas just stop like it like an army. When
Speaker 1: you say company Holt. You know, you got five hundred
Speaker 1: people and they're all walking. You say company Holt, and
Speaker 1: they all stop. That's what the seas did when Jesus spoke.
Speaker 1: You see, when God speaks and says, you know, wants
Speaker 1: to stop the seas, the seas will listen like like
Speaker 1: like he's commanding the seas, Like as if I was
Speaker 1: walking with the unit and I commanded a unit, and
Speaker 1: I told him company holt, and they all stop in unison.
Speaker 1: That's type of control that Jesus has over over the waves,
Speaker 1: and the type of control that God has over the
Speaker 1: waves right here in Psalms eighty nine. It's different, you know,
Speaker 1: than what the these uh manipulation of whether or counterfeit Satan.
Speaker 1: He can't do that. It ain't gonna happen. So he
Speaker 1: wanted them to have faith, you know. Like Philippians four,
Speaker 1: verses four through seven, it says, rejoice in the Lord always. Again,
Speaker 1: I will say, rejoice, Let your gentleness be known to
Speaker 1: all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing,
Speaker 1: but in everything, by prayer and supplication, by thanksgiving, Let
Speaker 1: your requests be made known to God. So he wants
Speaker 1: you to be anxious for about nothing, but in everything,
Speaker 1: by prayer and supplication, be thanksgiving. Let your request be
Speaker 1: known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses
Speaker 1: all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: So be anxious for nothing he wants. He wanted the
Speaker 1: people in the vote to probably not stress and not
Speaker 1: have fear, because therewith Jesus, they're with the son of God.
Speaker 1: They're with God in the flesh. He wanted them to
Speaker 1: be not anxious about nothing. He wanted them to be
Speaker 1: calm and like, hey, like go about their business. But
Speaker 1: what happens is the spirit sometimes the flesh takes over
Speaker 1: and then you start feeling fear and you're like, you know,
Speaker 1: it happens, you know it happens, believe me. So we're
Speaker 1: just humans. So these are humans. They're disciples of Jesus, yes,
Speaker 1: but Jesus wants to teach them, and this is a
Speaker 1: good way for him to teach them because later on
Speaker 1: in their life they're going to be put in situations
Speaker 1: of fear where they're going to have to die for
Speaker 1: their faith. And it happens to all of them. Besides
Speaker 1: Judas obviously that he died in a different way. John
Speaker 1: he wrote Revelation. He died on an island. But the
Speaker 1: other ones they were martyred, you know, they were killed
Speaker 1: their faith. So they're going to be put through the ringer,
Speaker 1: you know, later on in life. So Jesus wants them
Speaker 1: to know now to walk by the spirit and not
Speaker 1: by the physical. Have faith. He's trying to build the faith. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, but if I saw
Speaker 1: someone stop the stop the storm and stop the waves
Speaker 1: and everything just calm down, then I would definitely be
Speaker 1: thinking he's more than just a man. Two demon possessed
Speaker 1: men healed. It says, this is Matthew eight twenty eight.
Speaker 1: When he had come to the other side, to the
Speaker 1: country of the urgeonscurgeonsness, there met him two demon possessed
Speaker 1: men coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that
Speaker 1: no one could pass that way. And suddenly they cried
Speaker 1: out saying, what have we to do with you, Jesus,
Speaker 1: you Son of God God? Have you come here to
Speaker 1: torment us before the time? So notice that they they
Speaker 1: know that they have a certain time limit before judgment.
Speaker 1: They know that the judgment is not upon him yet,
Speaker 1: so he's they're asking him. They know who the son
Speaker 1: of God is. They know that Jesus is the son
Speaker 1: of God. They live in the spiritual and they obviously
Speaker 1: fear the Son of God. He has power over them.
Speaker 1: These are demons, Okay, So one thing we got to
Speaker 1: realize is, I mean, I personally believe that there's a
Speaker 1: separation between fallen angels and demons. Okay, fallen angels, there's
Speaker 1: a passage in the Bible where an angel, the Angel
Speaker 1: of the Lord, kills one hundred and eighty thousand men
Speaker 1: in one night. Angels are powerful, right, so I don't
Speaker 1: see an angel inhabiting a human. I do see angels
Speaker 1: coming in the form of a human. That happens. We
Speaker 1: talked about that before with with when we talked about Sodomigamora,
Speaker 1: or the two angels come Hebrews thirteen to two. You
Speaker 1: never know when you're entertaining strangers or entertaining an angel,
Speaker 1: You know unaware. So I do believe that angels, they
Speaker 1: could they shed their okaitarian they're heavenly bodies, and they
Speaker 1: come down as the form of a human. But I
Speaker 1: don't believe that they're looking for a body to inhabit.
Speaker 1: See demons, they are spirits that are looking for vessels
Speaker 1: to inhabit. Different If you look at the Book of Enoch,
Speaker 1: what it tells you is that that demons are the
Speaker 1: disembodied spirits of the Nephiline. So the Nephylene which happened
Speaker 1: when the sons of God came into the daughters of men,
Speaker 1: they ended up boring nepheline. Those children are half angel,
Speaker 1: half human, hybrid and this is an abomination to God.
Speaker 1: So those children are not able to be saved. So
Speaker 1: if you look in the Book of Enoch, it's going
Speaker 1: to tell you this stuff. Now, I'm not telling you
Speaker 1: that the Book of Enoch is canon right now, but
Speaker 1: it is the way that This is the way that
Speaker 1: they thought back then. And I'm not saying it's not canon.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you. I just I don't believe the
Speaker 1: historicity traces it back to Enoch. But I do believe
Speaker 1: that the New Testament writers read the Book of Enoch
Speaker 1: right because it's quoted in Jude and it's quoted by Jesus.
Speaker 1: So what I will tell you is in the Book
Speaker 1: of Enoch, it says that the spirits of the Nephiline,
Speaker 1: the disembodied spirits of the Nephilene, are what the demons are.
Speaker 1: So that's what it says. I think there's a separation
Speaker 1: between fallen angels and demons. Personally, some people don't believe that.
Speaker 1: Some people believe that demons are fallen angels. But I
Speaker 1: don't see that. But so let's continue here. So they said,
Speaker 1: how have you come here to torment us? Before the time?
Speaker 1: So before the time of judgment. They know that the
Speaker 1: judgment's going to come, but they're like, it's not right now.
Speaker 1: It's like, what have you come to do? It says, now,
Speaker 1: a good way off from there was a herd of
Speaker 1: many swine feeding. So the demons begged him, saying, if
Speaker 1: you cast us out, permit us to go away into
Speaker 1: the herd of swine. And he said to them go.
Speaker 1: So when they had come out out, they went into
Speaker 1: the herd of swine, and suddenly the whole herd of
Speaker 1: swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea
Speaker 1: and perished in the water. So the pigs probably when
Speaker 1: the demons inhabited them, they probably went crazy and they
Speaker 1: probably just you know, violently ran into the water. Some
Speaker 1: people speculate that the demons like to be in the water.
Speaker 1: Some people speculate, you know, that there may be the
Speaker 1: water spirits. There's speculation there, you know. But it looks
Speaker 1: like the pigs that they went into they ended up perishing.
Speaker 1: And when I was doing studies, they said there there
Speaker 1: was a lot of pigs there, like some people said,
Speaker 1: like two thousand pigs, so must have been a lot
Speaker 1: of demons. I don't know, I'm not seeing that in
Speaker 1: the text. But that's what somebody that I study had said. Okay,
Speaker 1: So then those who kept them fled and they went
Speaker 1: away into the city and told everything, including what happened
Speaker 1: to the demon possessed men. And behold, the whole city
Speaker 1: came out to meet Jesus, and they saw him. They
Speaker 1: begged him to depart from their region. So all Jesus
Speaker 1: has to say to the demons is go, okay, and
Speaker 1: they go. Just like I was talking about, how Jesus
Speaker 1: commands the sea to stop, like like if you're commanding
Speaker 1: a unit to stop, to hold everybody in the whole
Speaker 1: unit holds those demons. Jesus says, go and they go.
Speaker 1: That's it. It's not about like holy water and this
Speaker 1: and that. Now Jesus doesn't need any of that. Go
Speaker 1: and they go. He commands them. That's why you know
Speaker 1: Jesus is God in the flesh. Okay, this is why
Speaker 1: I believe that Jesus God in the flesh. There's no
Speaker 1: man that's gonna walk around and do that. Okay. The
Speaker 1: demons tremble when Jesus comes, Okay, they're afraid of him.
Speaker 1: So we finished Matthew chapter eight. If you're following along,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to Matthew Chapter nine. Praise the Lord says,
Speaker 1: Jesus forgives and heals a paralytic. So when he got
Speaker 1: into a boat, let me get to my notes. I
Speaker 1: like to pull up the notes. Okay, So Jesus forgives
Speaker 1: and heals a parapolytic. A paralytic. Sorry, So when he
Speaker 1: got into a boat, crossed over and came to his
Speaker 1: own city, then behold they brought him a paralytic lying
Speaker 1: on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said
Speaker 1: to the paralytics, son, be a good cheer. Your sins
Speaker 1: are forgiven. You see, this is another time where people
Speaker 1: go sins are forgiven? What what do you mean the
Speaker 1: sinsor forgiven? We need the guy to be healed. But
Speaker 1: one thing you got to understand is it's better to
Speaker 1: go through life as a paralytic, your whole entire life,
Speaker 1: and and have your sins forgiven and go to heaven
Speaker 1: than it is to have your your paralytic healed. You
Speaker 1: know you're not gonna be paralyzed anymore. You're gonna be healed,
Speaker 1: go through your physical life and end up not going
Speaker 1: to heaven because you never repented for your sins and
Speaker 1: you never got faith in Jesus. So people would say,
Speaker 1: you know, they could judge certain ways. We're like, ah,
Speaker 1: this is why would he say that? Oh it's not Yeah,
Speaker 1: he said, be a good cheer. Your sins are forgiven you.
Speaker 1: So I think that that's that's it's it's like it's
Speaker 1: a lot better. But what and showing you though, is
Speaker 1: that Jesus is God? Because only God can forgive sins, right,
Speaker 1: I mean a man can't tell you that your your
Speaker 1: sins are forgiven. Now you could forgive somebody from sinning
Speaker 1: against you, yes, but you can't give someone salvation. That
Speaker 1: can only be God. Right. So this is why the
Speaker 1: Jews say this. The Pharisees ascribe say this, it says,
Speaker 1: and at once some of the scribes within themselves, this
Speaker 1: man blasphemies, because blasphemy is acting like you could do
Speaker 1: something that God can do. You know, obviously blaspheming God's name, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's blasphemy as well. But if you say,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna forgive you for your sins and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make it so that you go to heaven, now go
Speaker 1: to heaven like that is blasphemy because you are acting
Speaker 1: like your God, you know, so that's blasphemy. That's the
Speaker 1: reason why they said that, because Jesus says your sins
Speaker 1: are forgiven. They're like, they're trying to catch obviously, they're
Speaker 1: trying to catch Jesus slipping though. They want to catch
Speaker 1: him in any way that they can. They're always listening.
Speaker 1: They have these little spies that are walking around listening.
Speaker 1: What is he saying, What did he say? Did he
Speaker 1: break the law? We want to get him, you know,
Speaker 1: because they don't like what he's doing. He's healing. Now.
Speaker 1: What they don't understand is in the Book of Isaiah,
Speaker 1: it talks about the Messiah coming to do this and
Speaker 1: they're missing it. He's right there in their face and
Speaker 1: they're missing it, you know. So it's just it's fascinating.
Speaker 1: But Jesus knowing their thoughts, yeah, you see that. Another
Speaker 1: thing the devil doesn't know. Can't read your mind. He
Speaker 1: can't read your mind. Okay, he can't know. He knows
Speaker 1: what you think about, but he doesn't know what you're
Speaker 1: thinking at that moment. He knows that you're what your
Speaker 1: you know, what your hot button is, you know, he
Speaker 1: knows what makes you tick. You know, he knows how
Speaker 1: to get you to sin. He knows what you think about,
Speaker 1: he knows what he can place in your mind to
Speaker 1: get you to do certain things. But he doesn't know
Speaker 1: what you're thinking at that moment. He doesn't know how
Speaker 1: to read your mind. Not yet. Obviously, pretty soon when
Speaker 1: they put neural links in your brain and certain things
Speaker 1: like that, they're trying to get close as they can
Speaker 1: to having you to reading people's minds. But I'm just
Speaker 1: saying it says, but Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said why
Speaker 1: do you think evil in your hearts? For which is
Speaker 1: easier to say your sins are forgiving you, or to
Speaker 1: say a rise and walk, But that you may know
Speaker 1: that the son of Man has power on earth to
Speaker 1: forgive sins. Then he said to the paralytic, arise, take
Speaker 1: your bed and go to your house. And he arose
Speaker 1: and departed to his house. Now when the multitude saw it,
Speaker 1: they marveled and glorified God, who had given such power
Speaker 1: to men. So you're seeing that it's people are noticing,
Speaker 1: and the Pharisees are noticing, and people are wanting to
Speaker 1: follow him. If you saw somebody that was paralyzed, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people that they a lot of them,
Speaker 1: they're they're they're sitting next to the healing well or
Speaker 1: the healing water for for long periods of time, trying
Speaker 1: to get healed. And a lot of people see them,
Speaker 1: and you know, they're probably asking for money, maybe baking
Speaker 1: for money. Maybe maybe it's somebody that uh, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe's not baking for money, but they're just they just
Speaker 1: want to be healed, you know. And a lot of
Speaker 1: people in town they see that, and uh, people probably
Speaker 1: maybe pray for them and stuff. I don't know. But
Speaker 1: he's coming up to them telling them that you're forgiven
Speaker 1: for your sins and you were healed, get up and walk.
Speaker 1: You got to understand and and and it's a it's
Speaker 1: it's just a beautiful scene here that you're seeing. And
Speaker 1: I like that they that it's causing people to glorify God.
Speaker 1: These miracles are causing people to glorify God. And that's
Speaker 1: that's great. That's the best you can you can the
Speaker 1: best thing that can happen. Matthew the tax collector. As
Speaker 1: Jesus passed on there, he saw a man named Matthew
Speaker 1: sitting at the tax office Matthew has to mention himself,
Speaker 1: that's pretty funny. And he said to him, follow me,
Speaker 1: so he arose and followed him. So tax collectors, you know,
Speaker 1: like I think I mentioned that on the lat previous episode,
Speaker 1: the scribes and Pharisees, they didn't like them at all.
Speaker 1: The Romans. What they would do is they wanted to
Speaker 1: take a percentage of tax. Let's say it's twenty per
Speaker 1: and then Matthew the tax collector, could charge thirty percent,
Speaker 1: take the ten percent and give Romans to twenty percent
Speaker 1: that are due. So they're swindling people out of money.
Speaker 1: So he's a sinner, right, So that's why a lot
Speaker 1: of people, you know, despise that. So it says, now
Speaker 1: what happened as Jesus sat at the table in the
Speaker 1: house that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and
Speaker 1: sat down with him and his disciples. And when the
Speaker 1: Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, why does
Speaker 1: your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners? So sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: my throat says, why does your teacher eat with tax
Speaker 1: collectors and sinners? When Jesus heard that, he said to them,
Speaker 1: those who are well have no need of a position,
Speaker 1: but those who are sick. But those who are sick,
Speaker 1: but go and learn what this means. I desire mercy
Speaker 1: and not sacrifice. But I did not come to call
Speaker 1: the righteous, but sinners to repentance. So first of all,
Speaker 1: the Pharisees act like their poop doesn't stink, or that
Speaker 1: they're not sinners. And they just in public act like
Speaker 1: they're not sinners. And when they're in public, they act
Speaker 1: like they're righteous, and they walk around like they're righteous.
Speaker 1: But Jesus knows their heart. Jesus knows what they do
Speaker 1: at closed doors. Jesus knows the little schemes, the plots,
Speaker 1: the money scheming off the top. You know, he knows
Speaker 1: exactly what's going on with They're a little legalistic. I
Speaker 1: can do this, but I can't do that. I can't
Speaker 1: heal somebody on the sabbath. But I can do this,
Speaker 1: I can't help somebody on the sabbath. You know. It's
Speaker 1: like because I need to make sure I follow this law.
Speaker 1: Jesus knows exactly what's going on with them, and he
Speaker 1: is a like I said, he could read their thoughts.
Speaker 1: He knows their heart, he knows they're evil. He knows
Speaker 1: they're good. He knows exactly what's going on with them.
Speaker 1: So Jesus was here for you know, he's here for
Speaker 1: the gentile sinners, for the Jewish sinners. He's here for
Speaker 1: all that. He's not scared to. He's not like a
Speaker 1: He didn't want to like come here as a king
Speaker 1: and sit up on the highest throne, as on an
Speaker 1: earthly throne, and be super rich and wealthy and have
Speaker 1: everybody beneath him and have everybody worshiping him. And he
Speaker 1: said he's got his earthly ministry going where he's a
Speaker 1: king with gold and all this money, like Solomon. He
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to come like that. He's coming here to serve.
Speaker 1: He's here to serve. It's just it's beautiful, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people would probably are very They judge like
Speaker 1: that too. Christians see other people hanging out with someone
Speaker 1: they would call sinners, and they would judge just like this.
Speaker 1: And it happens a lot people become like Pharisees. And
Speaker 1: Jesus is saying, I eat with tax collections and sinners
Speaker 1: because I came for them. I am because they're sick,
Speaker 1: you know, Like he doesn't come from the righteous but
Speaker 1: for sinners to repentance, So that's why he's hanging out
Speaker 1: with them. Jesus has questioned about fasting. Then the disciples
Speaker 1: that John came to him, saying, why do we and
Speaker 1: Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast? And
Speaker 1: Jesus said to them, can the friends of the bridegroom
Speaker 1: mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, But
Speaker 1: the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken
Speaker 1: away from them, and then they will fast. No one
Speaker 1: puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment,
Speaker 1: for the patch pulls away from the garment and the
Speaker 1: terror is made worse. Nor do they put new wineskin
Speaker 1: until old wine skins or else wine skins break and
Speaker 1: the wine is spilled and the wine skins are ruined.
Speaker 1: But they put new wine into new wine skins and
Speaker 1: both are preserved. So so you fast, You fast to
Speaker 1: get closer to God. Right, how much closer can these
Speaker 1: guys get? God is with them, so they don't need
Speaker 1: to fast. You're not fasting so that other people can
Speaker 1: see you fasting and say, whoa, look at him. He's
Speaker 1: fasted for seven days already he's so holy. That's not
Speaker 1: what you fast. You fast to get closer to God.
Speaker 1: You're sacrificing your food, You're you're you're basically showing your
Speaker 1: flesh that your spirit is stronger. And you want to
Speaker 1: get closer to the Lord. Praying, supplication and and and
Speaker 1: fasting is made to get closer to God. It's not
Speaker 1: made for people to see you fasting and think that
Speaker 1: you're holy. So if you want to get closer to God,
Speaker 1: how much closer can you get? He says the bride
Speaker 1: the bride groom is is with them, So you don't
Speaker 1: need to fast when I'm when I go away, they
Speaker 1: will fast, you see what I mean. So, and also
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of people that don't understand the
Speaker 1: new Covenant to the old Covenant. So and Jeremiah thirty one,
Speaker 1: it talks about there's going to be a new covenant, right,
Speaker 1: there's a new covenant. So some people need to put
Speaker 1: away that old and start going with the new Covenant.
Speaker 1: I know that there's some people that don't believe that,
Speaker 1: and they believe that you need to follow the old
Speaker 1: covenant with the new Covenant. But this is saying, you know,
Speaker 1: no one puts a piece in her cloth in an
Speaker 1: old garment, and the pats pulls away from the garment,
Speaker 1: the terrors made worse. Nor do they put new wine
Speaker 1: into old wine skins. You try to put the new
Speaker 1: covenant into the old covenant. Doesn't work, it says, or
Speaker 1: else wine skins break, the wine is spilled, and the
Speaker 1: wine skins are ruined. But you put new wine into
Speaker 1: new wineskins and both are preserved. You see, that's kind
Speaker 1: of what something that I maybe take from that, Am
Speaker 1: I right? I don't know, but that's kind of what
Speaker 1: I think is going on there. Okay, So this is
Speaker 1: a Matthew nine, verse eighteen. It says a girl restored
Speaker 1: to life, and a woman healed when he spoke these
Speaker 1: things to them. Behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying,
Speaker 1: my daughter has just died. But come and lay your
Speaker 1: hand on her, and she will live. So Jesus arose
Speaker 1: and followed him, and so did his disciples. And suddenly
Speaker 1: a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years,
Speaker 1: come from behind and touched the hem of his garment.
Speaker 1: For she said herself, if I only touch his garment,
Speaker 1: I shall be made well. But Jesus turned around when
Speaker 1: he saw her and said, be good, cheer daughter. Your
Speaker 1: faith has made you well. And the woman was made
Speaker 1: well from that hour. So as you see, she had
Speaker 1: so much faith that she feels like even if she
Speaker 1: touched the garment of Jesus, that she's going to be healed.
Speaker 1: So Jesus said, you're healed, you're made well. He sees
Speaker 1: that that faith, you know, like, she had so much
Speaker 1: faith that Jesus turned around when he saw her. You know,
Speaker 1: Jesus turned around. He felt that he felt that faith,
Speaker 1: like wow, he turned around to speak to her. So
Speaker 1: when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the
Speaker 1: flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, he said to them,
Speaker 1: make room for the girl is not dead but sleeping,
Speaker 1: and they ridiculed him. But when the crowd was put outside,
Speaker 1: he went and took her by the hand, and the
Speaker 1: girl arose, and the report of this went all throughout,
Speaker 1: went out into that all that land. So so there's
Speaker 1: flute players and noisy crowd wailing. So people would hire
Speaker 1: flute players, and they would hire people to like for wailing.
Speaker 1: It's like out of respect for the dead. So think
Speaker 1: about this. The girl is dead, people are wailing, crying,
Speaker 1: and Jesus comes in and he brings her back to life.
Speaker 1: Who else has done this in the Bible. Elijah has
Speaker 1: done this, staying at the woman's house her and he
Speaker 1: rose her son from the dead. So Elijah has done this.
Speaker 1: Elijah the prophet, very very interesting that he's able to
Speaker 1: rise from the dead bring someone from the dead. That
Speaker 1: is so much faith and that that Elijah must have had. Obviously,
Speaker 1: God is the one that raises the one. Even the
Speaker 1: boy that that Elijah raised up, it wasn't Elijah raising
Speaker 1: it from the dead. It was God raising it through Elijah.
Speaker 1: And that's through Elijah's faith he's able to rise, you know,
Speaker 1: raise him from the dead. Right here, Jesus is able
Speaker 1: to raise this girl from the dead. Do you understand
Speaker 1: the people that are around when they see that. Now,
Speaker 1: when you when you're healing people that are blind, that
Speaker 1: are deaf, that are leprosy, that are paraplegic, that's one
Speaker 1: thing which I think is phenomenal, that would be so
Speaker 1: amazing to see as well. But when someone is dead
Speaker 1: and he raises him from the dead like this, and
Speaker 1: the report goes throughout the land, the Pharisees are probably like, listen, guys,
Speaker 1: we got a serious problem, serious problem, because this guy
Speaker 1: is now raising people from the dead. They say this
Speaker 1: guy because they're disrespectful. Disrespectful, but that's what they're saying, like, hey,
Speaker 1: he's raising people from the dead. People were following him.
Speaker 1: Now it's going throughout the land. We gotta be careful.
Speaker 1: This is gonna get crazy. The people are gonna start
Speaker 1: now looking at us as the holy ones. They're gonna
Speaker 1: start looking at him as the Holy One. They're gonna
Speaker 1: start following him. We don't want that. We want people
Speaker 1: to follow legalism. We want people to bring the the
Speaker 1: sh to bring the lamb for the sacrifice, and then
Speaker 1: we're going to tell him that the lamb is not
Speaker 1: good enough. You need to buy our lamb. We need
Speaker 1: to make that money. We got to make sure that
Speaker 1: we keep that that money flowing in. We have the riches.
Speaker 1: We're close. You know, we're the politicians here. We got
Speaker 1: to make sure that everything is good. We don't we
Speaker 1: don't want to have a ruckus with the with this guy,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's it's it's fascinating, man, Jesus is
Speaker 1: raising them from the dead. It's so amazing. Two blind
Speaker 1: men healed. When Jesus departed from there, two blind men
Speaker 1: followed him, crying out and saying, son of David, have
Speaker 1: mercy on us. And when he had come into the house,
Speaker 1: the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them,
Speaker 1: do you believe that I am able to do this?
Speaker 1: And they said to him, yes, Lord. That he touched
Speaker 1: their eyes, saying, according to their faith, let it be
Speaker 1: to you, and their eyes were open, and Jesus sternly
Speaker 1: warned them, saying, see that no one knows it. But
Speaker 1: when they departed, they spread the news about him in
Speaker 1: all the country. Obviously, you get you're blind and someone
Speaker 1: heals you, obviously you're gonna be like sure, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna go and tell everybody. So Jesus probably knew that.
Speaker 1: He told them that, you know, see that no one
Speaker 1: knows it. But when they departed, they they're probably so
Speaker 1: happy and so happy, dude, like, you know, can you
Speaker 1: imagine if you're blind and you're able to see, you're
Speaker 1: gonna go spread the news even if Jesus tells you
Speaker 1: not to. They're probably like, okay, no problem, And they
Speaker 1: went out and just said, oh, my gosh, I could
Speaker 1: see who did that. I can't tell us who did it.
Speaker 1: It was Jesus. It was your shoe of them is sheiak?
Speaker 1: All right? So, uh, a man's a mute, man speaks.
Speaker 1: As they went out, behold they brought to him a
Speaker 1: man mute and demon possessed. Okay, so one thing you
Speaker 1: had to understand about back then. The Jews are the
Speaker 1: people that tried to cast out demons, thought they needed
Speaker 1: to know the demon's name. They thought they had to
Speaker 1: know the demon's name to cast them out. So the
Speaker 1: demons probably thought they were slick, like we're about that,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into this mute. We're gonna possess this
Speaker 1: deaf mute and that way they can't speak, so it says,
Speaker 1: and when the demons was cast out, the mute spoke,
Speaker 1: and the multitudes marveled, saying, it has never seen it
Speaker 1: is never seen like this in Israel. You know, they've
Speaker 1: never seen anything like this in Israel. But the Pharisees said,
Speaker 1: he cast out demons by the ruler of the demons.
Speaker 1: So you see the Pharisees are hating on him. They're
Speaker 1: basically saying, this is not God of God. This is
Speaker 1: of the devil. The demons are just going along with
Speaker 1: his little game. And that's basically they're trying to poison
Speaker 1: the well. You know, they're trying to poison the well
Speaker 1: with what Jesus is doing. And obviously hard heart filled
Speaker 1: with pride, not able to accept their messiah, the true Messiah.
Speaker 1: You're sure with them as giac because they're too hard hearted.
Speaker 1: They were looking for a king to come in rule
Speaker 1: and create an army and create peace. Excuse me the
Speaker 1: comparisons of Jesus. Then Jesus went out all about the
Speaker 1: cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Gospel
Speaker 1: of the Kingdom, and healing every sickness in every disease
Speaker 1: among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he
Speaker 1: was moved with compassion for them because they were weary
Speaker 1: and sca scattered like sheep having no shepherd. Then he
Speaker 1: said to his disciples, the harvest truly is plentiful, but
Speaker 1: the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the
Speaker 1: harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. So he's
Speaker 1: healing every sickness, every disease among the people. And he
Speaker 1: says he is moved with compassion for them because they
Speaker 1: were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. So
Speaker 1: he's saying that the people that are in the synagogues,
Speaker 1: he's having compassion because they're scattered with having no shepherd.
Speaker 1: There might be a priest, the Pharisee priests, there might
Speaker 1: be ones that are trying to be the leader, but
Speaker 1: they're not leaders in any way. These people are scattered,
Speaker 1: and Jesus has compassion for them. Okay, so we've just
Speaker 1: finished Matthew nine. I'm gonna go to Matthew ten. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be Matthew ten to one. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: a drink of water, all right, Matthew ten, It says
Speaker 1: the twelve Apostles, and when he called his twelve disciples
Speaker 1: to him, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to
Speaker 1: cast them out and to heal all kinds of sickness
Speaker 1: and all kinds of disease. Now the names of the
Speaker 1: twelve apostles were these, and this is the first time
Speaker 1: that Matthew was calling them apostles. Apostles in the Greek
Speaker 1: means messengers. Let's let's let's go there real quick. Matthew ten,
Speaker 1: excuse me. Uh, let's go ahead and go to that
Speaker 1: word apostle in the strongest accordance. A delegate messenger one
Speaker 1: set forth with orders specifically applied to the twelve Apostles
Speaker 1: of Christ, and a broader sense applied to other eminent
Speaker 1: Christian teachers of Barnabas Timothy and Sylvenus. So it's a
Speaker 1: delegate or a messenger of Jesus, okay, delegated by Jesus. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you had to have known Jesus or met Jesus.
Speaker 1: I believe to be an apostle. I believe I read
Speaker 1: that somewhere. So these are the twelve apostles. Are these?
Speaker 1: First Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother,
Speaker 1: James the son of Zebedee and John his brother Philip,
Speaker 1: and Bartholomew Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the
Speaker 1: son of Alphius Alpheus and Lebus whose surname was Theodis,
Speaker 1: Simon the Canaanite. And Judas is skit, excuse me. And
Speaker 1: Judas is Scariot, who also betrayed him. Excuse me, all right.
Speaker 1: And then obviously Paul becomes an apostle. Okay, So we
Speaker 1: have that later, sending out the twelve, These twelve, these
Speaker 1: twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying, do not
Speaker 1: go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not
Speaker 1: enter a city of the Samaritans, but rather go to
Speaker 1: the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as
Speaker 1: you go, preach, saying, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
Speaker 1: Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast
Speaker 1: out demons. Freely. You have received, freely give provide me.
Speaker 1: Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor copper in your money belts,
Speaker 1: nor bag of your journey, nor to tunics, nor sandals,
Speaker 1: nor staffs for your workers worthy of His food. So
Speaker 1: don't take money for what you were doing. This is
Speaker 1: not about. Hey, I'll cast out demons and heal you
Speaker 1: for a fee. You know what I mean. I'll cleanse
Speaker 1: the leopard for a fee. You want me to raise
Speaker 1: your son, give me some money. You want me to
Speaker 1: cast out this demon, pay me. That's not what it's about, Okay.
Speaker 1: So now I'm sure that they would they would if
Speaker 1: they had church, they would be offerings. That's something different. Obviously,
Speaker 1: It says, don't bring two tunics, because God will provide
Speaker 1: you're walking by faith. Jesus is saying, if you're going
Speaker 1: to be my apostle, not only am I going to
Speaker 1: give you power to be able to cast out demons,
Speaker 1: healed sick, cleads the lepers, and raise the dead, but
Speaker 1: I want you to walk by faith. So this is
Speaker 1: really interesting. So it sounds like he's trying to provide
Speaker 1: this to the House of Israel first before they go
Speaker 1: to the Gentiles. So he's trying to provide this to them,
Speaker 1: trying to make them realize that their Messiah is here.
Speaker 1: And can you guys imagine having that kind of power
Speaker 1: that Jesus had. He's walking around a city and then
Speaker 1: you know how many people are dying in that city,
Speaker 1: how many people and he knows exactly when someone's going
Speaker 1: to pass, and he knows the pain that people are feeling,
Speaker 1: and how many people are going to be crying over
Speaker 1: this person dying. He knows exactly the way they're going
Speaker 1: to feel. And can you imagine having that kind of power.
Speaker 1: People might think that that's a gift and like, ooh,
Speaker 1: thatd be awesome, but Dan, can you imagine like knowing
Speaker 1: that someone's about to die and not saving that person
Speaker 1: but saving another. You see, now, he gave that power
Speaker 1: to the apostles, and people would probably say, I wish
Speaker 1: I was the Apostles. I would love to be apostle.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I would love to heal the sick and
Speaker 1: cast out demons, raised the dead man. Casting out demons
Speaker 1: is probably something that's super you know. Even though you
Speaker 1: have that power, you probably get a little more comfortable
Speaker 1: with it. But can you imagine that man must have
Speaker 1: been a you know, having that type of authority is amazing,
Speaker 1: you know. And now Jesus, you know, he gives us.
Speaker 1: He gives us that power, you know, obviously not us power.
Speaker 1: It's power through Jesus, right through his name, we do
Speaker 1: have power over the demons. Now, whatever city or town
Speaker 1: you we're back at a Matthew ten eleven. Now, whatever
Speaker 1: city or town you enter, inquire who it is worthy,
Speaker 1: and stay there till you go out. And when you
Speaker 1: go into a household, greet it. If the household is worthy,
Speaker 1: let your peace come upon it. But if you're but
Speaker 1: if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Speaker 1: Whoever will not receive you nor your words. When you
Speaker 1: depart from that house or city, shake off the dust
Speaker 1: from your feet. Surely, I say to you, you will
Speaker 1: be more tolerable for the land of Sodom Gamora on
Speaker 1: the day of the judgment than for that city. It'll
Speaker 1: be more tolerable for the land of Sodomegamora and that
Speaker 1: day of judgment than for that city. So they better, man,
Speaker 1: these people better take heave, they better take care of
Speaker 1: these people, because man, he saying that it's more tolerable
Speaker 1: for the land of Sodommegamora in the day of judgment
Speaker 1: then for that city. Like wow, those people in that
Speaker 1: city are going to be judged tremendously for not having compassion,
Speaker 1: for not taking care of a guest. We're not taking
Speaker 1: care of strangers. We're not taking care of the needy.
Speaker 1: Look what he's saying. It's like, we don't understand that.
Speaker 1: Like so many people nowadays, they see somebody struggling, or
Speaker 1: they see like a bomb, or they see someone that
Speaker 1: doesn't have money, and they automatically just not get away
Speaker 1: from me. Let me walk over you. Oh you're drunk,
Speaker 1: you're sick, whatever, I want to walk over you. Even
Speaker 1: Christians nowadays, you know, so you got to understand you
Speaker 1: never know when you're entertaining an angel, entertain strangers, because
Speaker 1: you never know when you're entertaining an angel unaware like
Speaker 1: got to understand that. So we have to make sure
Speaker 1: that we don't judge people, and make sure that take
Speaker 1: care of people, take care of the needy, give people
Speaker 1: jackets off your back. You gotta just love, you gotta
Speaker 1: have compassion. So this says persecutions are coming. Behold, I
Speaker 1: send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.
Speaker 1: Therefore be wise at serpents and harmless as doves. And
Speaker 1: I think in the King James, it says innocent as doves.
Speaker 1: So be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves. But
Speaker 1: be aware of men, or they will deliver you up
Speaker 1: in councils and scourge you and their synagogues. You will
Speaker 1: be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as
Speaker 1: a testimony to them and to the gentiles. But when
Speaker 1: they deliver you up, do not worry about how or
Speaker 1: what you should speak, or it will be given to
Speaker 1: you in that hour that you should speak. For it
Speaker 1: is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your
Speaker 1: Father who speaks in you. So the Holy Spirit speaks
Speaker 1: in you. Right. So it says to be wise as
Speaker 1: serpents and harmless as doves. So he doesn't want you
Speaker 1: to be You need to be wise that way, you
Speaker 1: know when you move, but you need to be harmless, right.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want you to be slain people, killing people,
Speaker 1: cutting people, causing some ruckus, murdering, slandering, doing all this
Speaker 1: crazy stuff. He wants you to be wise as serpents,
Speaker 1: harmless as doves. But he wants to let you know
Speaker 1: that you're going to be persecuted by these people, especially
Speaker 1: in the synagogues. They're going to deliver you up to
Speaker 1: councils you brought before governors and kings for my sake.
Speaker 1: But steadfast, have faith when they deliver you up. Don't
Speaker 1: even worry about what you should speak. Don't sit there
Speaker 1: in the prison where you're like, you know, you're shackled,
Speaker 1: like what am I gonna say, biting your nails? What
Speaker 1: am I gonna do? I have fear? Oh? What am
Speaker 1: I gonna say to them? The Holy Spirit will guide
Speaker 1: your word and tell you exactly what to speak, when
Speaker 1: to speak it. You will be taken care of. Walk
Speaker 1: by faith. That's what he's saying. Don't worry now, brother
Speaker 1: will deliver you up to now, brother will deliver up
Speaker 1: brother to death, and a father, his child and children
Speaker 1: will rise up against parents and cause them to be
Speaker 1: put to death. And you will be hated by all
Speaker 1: for your for my name's sake. For he who endures
Speaker 1: to the end will be saved. When they persecute you
Speaker 1: in the city, flee to another. For surely I say
Speaker 1: to you, you will not have gone through the cities
Speaker 1: of Israel before the sun of Man comes. So now
Speaker 1: brother will deliver up brother to death, and father's child
Speaker 1: and children will rise up against parents and cause them
Speaker 1: to be put to death. Man, they will hate you
Speaker 1: for his namesake. That happens now right now, I'm a
Speaker 1: Christian and conspiracy podcaster. Right even having the word Christian
Speaker 1: there at all, people will automatically slander me, automatically hate me,
Speaker 1: automatically not even watch my show. But I don't care
Speaker 1: because I am going to endure to the end. I
Speaker 1: am going to keep my faith. If I get slandered,
Speaker 1: if I get killed, if I get my head cut off, whatever,
Speaker 1: I am going to stand to the end. See. But
Speaker 1: I know how it is. I have been in debates
Speaker 1: with people that are atheists. I know. I've been in
Speaker 1: a den of atheists. I've debated on shows. I've had
Speaker 1: it happen like well, they think I'm just an idiot,
Speaker 1: like I am not smart, I am stupid. They cannot
Speaker 1: believe that I would believe that the Earth is only
Speaker 1: sixty six hundred years old. They can't believe that I
Speaker 1: wouldn't believe in a Big Bang theory. They can't believe
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't believe in evolution. They can't believe that
Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe what scientists say. They just think that
Speaker 1: it's just man. They they just they look at scientists
Speaker 1: and the Big Bang and all that stuff. That's their God.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you, I will endure to the end.
Speaker 1: I will take persecution because it doesn't matter if I'm
Speaker 1: persecuted my whole entire life. It doesn't matter if I
Speaker 1: get my feelings hurt. And I can't get my feelings hurt.
Speaker 1: I've been through basic training, all right. I don't care. Man,
Speaker 1: I've had the worst time of my life. You know
Speaker 1: I've been through already. Now, this is this is nothing.
Speaker 1: I don't mind at all. Tell you that I'll be
Speaker 1: a soldier for God. So what I wanted to say
Speaker 1: is no but persecution. When you're like what they were
Speaker 1: going through, it must have been tough because they're walking
Speaker 1: through cities getting persecuted and they don't have a bunch
Speaker 1: of food and a bunch of money. So when you
Speaker 1: don't have money, you don't have food, and you don't
Speaker 1: have anything in your you don't have a house, you
Speaker 1: don't have a home, all that persecution is probably causing
Speaker 1: people in the city to feel some type of way,
Speaker 1: like if I take care of these people, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get persecuted. So they probably stopped them. Probably it probably
Speaker 1: held a lot of people back from helping them because
Speaker 1: they're scared of other people judging them. They're scared of
Speaker 1: the pharisees judging them. They're scared of taking care of
Speaker 1: these people because of what their mom would say, what
Speaker 1: their sister would say, what their aunt would say, what
Speaker 1: their next to, their neighbor's gonna say, Ooh, you're taking
Speaker 1: care of these people. Oh these are you know? These
Speaker 1: are scum? These people are you know? You know they're
Speaker 1: they're they're doing this in the name of demons, not
Speaker 1: of God, you know. So he's just letting him know
Speaker 1: and do her to the end. And you will be saved. Right,
Speaker 1: So it says a disciple is not above his teacher,
Speaker 1: nor a servant above his master. And it's enough for
Speaker 1: a disciple to be like his teacher and a servant
Speaker 1: like his master. If they have called the master of
Speaker 1: the house Bells above, how much more will they call
Speaker 1: those of his household. Therefore, do not fear them, for
Speaker 1: there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and
Speaker 1: hidden that will not be known. So Bell's above is
Speaker 1: like the ruler of the demons. Or I would say
Speaker 1: that's basically like the devil. They're saying that Jesus is
Speaker 1: casting out in the name of the devil or the
Speaker 1: ones that rule the demons. So yeah, these these hypocrites
Speaker 1: and these these these rulers of iniquity trying to say that,
Speaker 1: you know, Jesus teaches the fear of God. Whatever I
Speaker 1: tell you in the dark, speak in the light, whatever
Speaker 1: you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. Do
Speaker 1: not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill
Speaker 1: the soul, but rather fear him who is able to
Speaker 1: destroy both soul and body and hell. Fear God, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll stop right there. Fear God. Right. Fear God. Don't
Speaker 1: fear people that can kill you your physical body. Don't
Speaker 1: fear them. Fear the one that could kill the soul
Speaker 1: and the body. Wow, that is so deep. Whatever I
Speaker 1: tell you in the dark, speak in the light, whatever
Speaker 1: you hear in your ear. Breach off the housetops, start
Speaker 1: a podcast, start a Bible study. Preach off the housetops.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. He's telling you to make
Speaker 1: sure that you do action. Now you want to be
Speaker 1: a disciple of mine, Preach off the housetops. That's kind
Speaker 1: of what I try to what I think people should do.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm nothing special. I'm nothing special at all.
Speaker 1: I just don't mind proclaiming my faith and I don't mind.
Speaker 1: I don't care whose podcast. If someone asked me to
Speaker 1: jump on, I'll go because I will always bring people
Speaker 1: back to the Lord. I will bring the conversation back
Speaker 1: to the Lord. I might talk about conspiracies, yes, but
Speaker 1: I will try to relate it to the Bible or
Speaker 1: bring people to the Bible no matter what. I try
Speaker 1: to definitely do that. So it's something that we need
Speaker 1: to all do. And if we get persecuted, who cares.
Speaker 1: If someone talks about you who cares. Don't fear those people.
Speaker 1: Fear the one that kill the body but cannot kill
Speaker 1: the soul. But fear him who is able to destroy
Speaker 1: both the soul and body in hell. Fear the one
Speaker 1: that can send you to hell. Man, are not two
Speaker 1: sparrows sold for a copper coin? Are not them? Are
Speaker 1: not one of them falls to the ground apart from
Speaker 1: your father's will. But the very hairs on your head
Speaker 1: are all numbered. Do not fear. Therefore, you are more
Speaker 1: value than many sparrows. God knows every single hair that's
Speaker 1: on your head that is spectacular to me, and you
Speaker 1: are more value than many sparrows. So we are way
Speaker 1: more value than animals. Okay, God values the animals, yes,
Speaker 1: but we are way more value than that. So do
Speaker 1: not fear man. Do not fear those that could kill you.
Speaker 1: Fear the Lord. Fear God makes so much sense. It says,
Speaker 1: confess Christ before men. Therefore, whoever confesses me before men,
Speaker 1: I will also confess before my father, who is in heaven.
Speaker 1: But whoever denies me before men him, I will also
Speaker 1: deny before my father, who is in heaven. Now that
Speaker 1: is very interesting because people need to understand something that
Speaker 1: is Jesus letting you know that He's gonna be in
Speaker 1: heaven during judgment and if you deny me in front
Speaker 1: of men, I will deny you before my Father who
Speaker 1: is in heaven. So we got to understand that. So
Speaker 1: that means that Jesus controls whether you have salvation or
Speaker 1: not because he is able to deny you in front
Speaker 1: of the Father. Whoh, you understand that is what he's
Speaker 1: saying right there. And there's a lot of people that
Speaker 1: I know that. I mean a lot of people in
Speaker 1: the flat earth community, a lot of people in Christian
Speaker 1: conspiracy I'm sorry, not in Christian, but in the conspiracy
Speaker 1: movements that are denying Christ all the time, that are
Speaker 1: using you know, Freemasons, secret societies, Illuminati, secret society, Black Nobility,
Speaker 1: all these different you know, we know what's going on,
Speaker 1: you know basically if you dig into that stuff. But
Speaker 1: you see the Freemasons, they are all about gnarcissism. They're
Speaker 1: all about, you know, the devil wants you to be
Speaker 1: like God. The devil wants you to get knowledge, but
Speaker 1: God is jealous of you. God doesn't want you to
Speaker 1: be Knowledge doesn't want you to be like God. You
Speaker 1: see that it's all narcissism, So they that's what they're doing.
Speaker 1: But they're denying Jesus before men. They're gonna be denied
Speaker 1: in heaven. So proclaim the gospel. Okay, proclaim Jesus. Do
Speaker 1: it as much as you can. And if you're a
Speaker 1: podcast host, you need to understand something. You could jump
Speaker 1: on people's shows and there's an audience or your own podcast.
Speaker 1: You have an audience. You have people that are listening
Speaker 1: to everything you say, and a lot of people that
Speaker 1: you're listening to you are trusting what you're saying. So
Speaker 1: what I would say is you better make sure that
Speaker 1: if God gives you a flock, you better make sure
Speaker 1: that you're being that shepherd and you're leading them correctly.
Speaker 1: Better make sure you're not denying Christ because a man,
Speaker 1: some of these shows got twenty thousand listeners and they're
Speaker 1: over here saying that, you know, talking bad about Jesus
Speaker 1: and you're denying Jesus in front of man. You better
Speaker 1: be careful because you will be denied in front of
Speaker 1: the father. So yeah, that's powerful right there. But know
Speaker 1: that Christ has the power to deny you in front
Speaker 1: of your father, and then you would I mean, can
Speaker 1: you understand that. That's got to understand. Do not think
Speaker 1: that I came to bring peace on earth. I did
Speaker 1: not come to bring peace but a sword. For I
Speaker 1: have come to set a man against his father, a
Speaker 1: daughter against her mother, a daughter in law against her
Speaker 1: mother in law. And a man's enemies will be that
Speaker 1: those of his own household. He who loves father or
Speaker 1: mother more than me is not worthy of me. And
Speaker 1: he who loves son or daughter more than me is
Speaker 1: not worthy of me. And he who does not take
Speaker 1: his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
Speaker 1: He who finds his life will lose it. He who
Speaker 1: loses his life for my sake will find it. Saying,
Speaker 1: your physical life you could lose, but you're gonna gain
Speaker 1: eternal life. Okay, do not think that I came to
Speaker 1: bring peace on earth. Okay, understand something Jesus is telling you.
Speaker 1: God is number one. That's why he's putting man against father,
Speaker 1: daughter against mother. Because they're gonna place Jesus ahead of
Speaker 1: all of these people. They're gonna start getting jealous and
Speaker 1: get mad cause bites and squirrel and listen it happens.
Speaker 1: Wives right now, go to church, husband stays home and
Speaker 1: drinks beer all day and watches football. That's a quarrel
Speaker 1: that is wife against husband when that happens because they're
Speaker 1: not equally yoked. That's what he's talking about here. Okay,
Speaker 1: he who loves father, mother more than me is not
Speaker 1: worthy of me. Of course. You need to love God
Speaker 1: more than your daughters, more than your wife, more than
Speaker 1: your mom, your dad, more than anything, your job, more
Speaker 1: than money, more than fame, more than riches, more than glory,
Speaker 1: more than pride, more than power. You need to love
Speaker 1: God more than anything. That's what he's saying. And it
Speaker 1: does bring up division because if a husband and wife
Speaker 1: are not equally yoked, it causes division. Believe me, I've
Speaker 1: had it happen in my own relationship. Okay, but my
Speaker 1: wife when she gets down with church, when she starts
Speaker 1: going and she starts getting down with the Bible, she
Speaker 1: goes one hundred percent. It's just right now, you know,
Speaker 1: I run into little things here and there. I'll just
Speaker 1: put it that way, because I can teach a lot
Speaker 1: of people out there the Bible, and I can teach
Speaker 1: people from my podcast and from this show the Bible.
Speaker 1: My wife, she's starting to sit down and listen to
Speaker 1: these shows and understand what's going on, so it's a
Speaker 1: little easier. But yeah, she does great though. I love
Speaker 1: her so much. She is a support. She helps me
Speaker 1: to be able to do these shows. She watches my
Speaker 1: kids while I do the show, so God bless her heart.
Speaker 1: God is great. But listen to that, Okay, it's so
Speaker 1: important to be equally yoked. For those young people out
Speaker 1: there that are listening that don't have a wife yet,
Speaker 1: that don't have a girlfriend yet, or whatever, listen, when
Speaker 1: you choose your wife, it is vastly important, especially if
Speaker 1: you are of the faith. If you're a believer, okay,
Speaker 1: it is vastly important for you to make sure that
Speaker 1: you're equally yoked, because it's gonna be you need to
Speaker 1: be the spiritual leader of your home. And when you
Speaker 1: have kids, you want to bring them up in the faith.
Speaker 1: And if your wife is not a believer, and your
Speaker 1: wife is like lost in the sauce and she's all secular,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have an uphill battle trying to get her
Speaker 1: to believe, and also an uphill battle trying to get
Speaker 1: your kids to go to church with you, and an
Speaker 1: uphill battle trying to get your wife to go to
Speaker 1: church with you, and it's gonna cause problems. Believe me. So. Yes,
Speaker 1: faith can cause division, but listen, Ultimately it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You need to seek the Lord, you need to read
Speaker 1: the Bible. The most important thing is for you to
Speaker 1: get to heaven. The most important thing is not for
Speaker 1: you to entertain people. Okay. The most important thing is
Speaker 1: your salvation. That's what's important. He who finds his life
Speaker 1: will lose it. He who loses his life for my
Speaker 1: sake will find it. That's what he's saying. You will
Speaker 1: find real life. It's called eternal life in Jesus a
Speaker 1: cup of cold water. He who receives you receives me,
Speaker 1: and he receives me receives him who sent me. He
Speaker 1: who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet
Speaker 1: shall receive a prophet's reward. And he receives a righteous
Speaker 1: man in the name of a righteous man, We'll receive
Speaker 1: a righteous man's reward. Whoever gives one of these little
Speaker 1: ones only a cup of cold water in the name
Speaker 1: of a disciple, as surely I say to you, he
Speaker 1: shall by no means lose his reward. We want heavenly rewards,
Speaker 1: not physical rewards. We don't care that we don't do
Speaker 1: podcasts and do Bible studies to profit greatly on earth.
Speaker 1: We do podcasts and Bible studies for people to profit
Speaker 1: and get rewards in heaven so people can get saved.
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. It's not about like making
Speaker 1: your pocketbook get bigger. That's not what it's about. It's
Speaker 1: about heavenly rewards. Excuse me, and thank you for bearing
Speaker 1: with me for my voice. I feel like it's God
Speaker 1: is healing it a little bit more. It's not getting
Speaker 1: worse when I'm talking when I thought it would get worse.
Speaker 1: So thank you Lord. John the Baptist sends messengers to Jesus.
Speaker 1: All right, now came to pass when Jesus finished commanding
Speaker 1: his twelve disciples that he departed from there to teach
Speaker 1: and to preach in their cities. And when John had
Speaker 1: heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent
Speaker 1: two of his disciples and said to him, are you
Speaker 1: Are you the coming one? Or do we look for another?
Speaker 1: So he's asking are you are you the one? Are
Speaker 1: you the Messiah? Are you the maschiok? Are you your
Speaker 1: shoe of the Mischiac? Are you the Christ? Are you
Speaker 1: the Christ? Okay, Jesus answered and said to them, go
Speaker 1: and tell John the things what you hear, and see
Speaker 1: the blind, see the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed,
Speaker 1: the death here the dead or raised up, and the
Speaker 1: poor have the gospel preach to them. Blessed is he
Speaker 1: who is not offended because of me. As they departed,
Speaker 1: Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, what
Speaker 1: did you go out to the wilderness to see a
Speaker 1: reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go
Speaker 1: out to see a man clothed in soft garments? Indeed,
Speaker 1: those who were soft clothing are in the king's houses.
Speaker 1: But what did you go out to see a prophet? Yes,
Speaker 1: I say to you more than a prophet, For this
Speaker 1: is he whom is written, behold my messenger before your face,
Speaker 1: who will prepare your way before you. So John the
Speaker 1: Baptist is in prison. He is probably in a bad situation,
Speaker 1: probably feeling like you know, he's probably thinking he's probably
Speaker 1: gonna end up dying or dead. So he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: let me make sure that Jesus is the one you know,
Speaker 1: knowing you know Jesus is his cousin. Okay, guys got
Speaker 1: to know that. So he's probably just double checking, especially
Speaker 1: when you're in prison. Man, you probably feel some type
Speaker 1: of way when you're in prison. So Jesus is just
Speaker 1: assuring him. Yes, I am the Christ. Surely, I say
Speaker 1: to you, among those born of women, there was not
Speaker 1: risen one greater than John the Baptist. But he is
Speaker 1: he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is
Speaker 1: greater than he. And from the days of John the
Speaker 1: Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and
Speaker 1: the violent take it by force. For all the prophets
Speaker 1: and law prophesies until John, and are you willing to
Speaker 1: receive it? He is Elijah who is to come, He
Speaker 1: who has ears to hear, Let him hear. But to
Speaker 1: what shall I like in this generation? Is it like
Speaker 1: children sitting in the marketplaces and calling their companions and saying,
Speaker 1: we played the flute for you, and you do not dance.
Speaker 1: We mourn for you, mourned to you, and you did
Speaker 1: not lament. For John came neither nor neither eating nor drinking.
Speaker 1: They say he has a demon. The son of Man
Speaker 1: came eating and drinking, And they say, look, a glutton,
Speaker 1: a wine bibber, a friend of tax collector, sinner, But
Speaker 1: wisdom is justified by her children. He's talking about the Pharisees.
Speaker 1: How they're talking about John the Baptist, saying that he
Speaker 1: has a demon, and they're talking about how the Sun
Speaker 1: of Man is eating and drinking, hanging out with the
Speaker 1: tax collectors and sinners. See that's the Pharisees and the
Speaker 1: hypocrites talking about them. So he is he is just
Speaker 1: letting him know. But uh ah, Jesus is like telling
Speaker 1: him that he's you know, he's not like that. So
Speaker 1: woe to the impotent cities. Then he began to rebuke
Speaker 1: the cities in which most of his mighty works have
Speaker 1: been done, because they did not repent. Woe to you, Cherizen,
Speaker 1: Woe to you. Best see it a for if the
Speaker 1: mighty works which were done in you had been done
Speaker 1: in Tiree and Sa'ddan, they would have repented long ago
Speaker 1: and sackoth and ashes. But I say to you, it'll
Speaker 1: be more tolerable for Tyree and Saddan and the day
Speaker 1: of Judgment than for you. And you Copernaum, who are
Speaker 1: exalted in heaven, will be brought down to Hades. For
Speaker 1: if the mighty works which were done had been done
Speaker 1: to you in Sodom, it would remain until this day.
Speaker 1: But I say to you, it shall be more tolerable
Speaker 1: for the land of Sodom in the day of Judgment
Speaker 1: than for you. So they're just not rep ing. Okay,
Speaker 1: so he's just fed up. Let me look up this
Speaker 1: really quick. We're in eleven twenty Matthew, eleven twenty. Okay,
Speaker 1: So let's look up Tyree and saddan Le. Let's find
Speaker 1: out what that is. Chosen is a town in Okay.
Speaker 1: Chosen is a town in Galilee, and it means a
Speaker 1: furnace of smoke. Excuse me, Let's look up Tyree. Tyree
Speaker 1: is a rock, a Phoenician city on the Mediterranean, very ancient, large, splendid, flourishing.
Speaker 1: So Tyree is a Phoenician city, and Syodin Iodin an
Speaker 1: ancient and wealthy city of Phoenicia. Syodin or Ziodin it
Speaker 1: means hunting, so just so you guys know. And then Capernaum,
Speaker 1: let's look that up real quick. Capernia is a flourishing city.
Speaker 1: It means village of comfort. Flourishing city of Galilee is
Speaker 1: situated on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee,
Speaker 1: or the lake near the place where the Jordan flows
Speaker 1: into the lake. Okay, we go, all right, so we're
Speaker 1: Matthew eleven twenty five. At that time, Jesus answered and said,
Speaker 1: I thank you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, that
Speaker 1: you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent,
Speaker 1: and have revealed them to babies. Even so, Father, so
Speaker 1: it seemed good in your sight. All things have been
Speaker 1: delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows
Speaker 1: the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the
Speaker 1: Father except the son and the one whom the son
Speaker 1: wills to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor
Speaker 1: and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Speaker 1: Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for
Speaker 1: I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will
Speaker 1: find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy
Speaker 1: and my burden is light. So I know that the
Speaker 1: Pharisees probably thought they knew the Father. A lot of
Speaker 1: prophets that walked around thought they probably thought they knew
Speaker 1: the Father. You know, even Moses, Abraham, Isaac Jacob all
Speaker 1: them probably felt like they knew the Father. People that
Speaker 1: were probably priests probably felt like they knew the father.
Speaker 1: But what Jesus is saying that no one knows the
Speaker 1: Father except the son. Okay, So he's letting him know
Speaker 1: that he knows the father because he was in heaven
Speaker 1: with the Father during the creation. Jesus, you know when
Speaker 1: he said, let there be, he's speaking, he said, or
Speaker 1: he spoke, let there be. So Jesus was in heaven
Speaker 1: with the Father before. Okay, So I think that people
Speaker 1: need to know that. And uh, it says, nor does
Speaker 1: anyone know the Father except the son and the whom
Speaker 1: the son wills to reveal to him. Come to me,
Speaker 1: all who labor and heavy laden, and I will give
Speaker 1: you rest, true rest. I will give you salvation rest.
Speaker 1: He says, you will find rest for your souls. That
Speaker 1: means it. You know you will find rest for your souls.
Speaker 1: Because he's talking about salvation. You know that's how you
Speaker 1: will have rest for your souls. So his yoke is
Speaker 1: easy and my burden is light. It's just it's it's
Speaker 1: awesome for me. I am gentle and lowly in heart.
Speaker 1: I love that. Okay. So we got about fifty ten
Speaker 1: minutes left we could try to Uh we could try
Speaker 1: to knock out Matthew twelve, So we're in Matthew twelve one.
Speaker 1: At that time, Jesus went through the grain fields on
Speaker 1: the Sabbath, and his disciples were hungry and began to
Speaker 1: pluck heads of grain and to eat. And when the
Speaker 1: Pharisees saw it, they said to him, look what your
Speaker 1: disciples are doing. It is not lawful to do on
Speaker 1: the Sabbath. Your disciples are doing what is not lawful
Speaker 1: to do on the Sabbath. Okay, Chad, Jesus is like
Speaker 1: the Sabbath, All right, let me tell you, he says.
Speaker 1: But he said to them, have you not read what
Speaker 1: David did when he was hungry? He and those who
Speaker 1: were with him, how we entered the House of God
Speaker 1: and ate the showbread, which was not lawful for him
Speaker 1: to eat, nor for those who were with him, but
Speaker 1: only for the priest. Okay. So he's saying, like, when
Speaker 1: times get tough and you know you need to eat,
Speaker 1: you need to eat, you know, like it's not like
Speaker 1: you need to be like, oh, let me just stop
Speaker 1: real quick. And he's like, basically, if you're starving and
Speaker 1: you're in war or in a battle, like David was,
Speaker 1: and he needs he needs his men to eat. They
Speaker 1: would eat, they put the law aside. But these people
Speaker 1: are so legalistic. They're like, you're trying to do that
Speaker 1: on the Sabbath. They're trying to find any little thing
Speaker 1: to get the disciples and to get Jesus on and uh,
Speaker 1: they're hungry. Okay. So or have you not read in
Speaker 1: the law that on the Sabbath the priests and the
Speaker 1: temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless. Yet I say
Speaker 1: to you that in this place there is one greater
Speaker 1: than the temple. But if you had known what this means,
Speaker 1: I desire mercy and not sacrifice, you would not have
Speaker 1: condemned the guiltiness. For the Son of Man is lord
Speaker 1: even of the Sabbath. Jesus says, I am lord of
Speaker 1: the Sabbath. That the Pharisees were probably like, they're probably
Speaker 1: so mad at him, saying that you know you're the
Speaker 1: lord of what Like I'm the one that Jesus would
Speaker 1: be like, I'm the one that gave the law. I'm
Speaker 1: the one that gave the law. I am lord over
Speaker 1: the law, And you're trying to tell me what I
Speaker 1: could do on the Sabbath. You're trying to tell me
Speaker 1: what's lawful. I am the Lord of the Sabbath. Wow,
Speaker 1: that is so awesome, Jesus is that's God is great
Speaker 1: healing on the Sabbath. Here's another thing, you know, they're
Speaker 1: trying to say, they're so legalistic. Oh, he can't do that.
Speaker 1: You can do this, you can't do that. Now, when
Speaker 1: he had departed from there, he went into their synagogue
Speaker 1: and behold there was a man who had a withered hand,
Speaker 1: and they asked him, saying, is it lawful to heal
Speaker 1: on the sabbath? That they might accuse him. You see,
Speaker 1: these guys are trying to get him out, trying to
Speaker 1: get Jesus caught up. I'm trying to make it catch
Speaker 1: Jesus slipping. But Jesus obviously is not going to get
Speaker 1: caught slipping. And Jesus knows exactly what the real law
Speaker 1: even means and what it's created for because he helped
Speaker 1: God he created it. So he's like, okay, guys, you
Speaker 1: think you're gonna get me. I know exactly what the
Speaker 1: Sabbath is created for. I know exactly why it was created,
Speaker 1: who was created for when it was created, who was
Speaker 1: created by? And everything. So then he said to them,
Speaker 1: what man is there among you who has one sheep,
Speaker 1: and if it falls into a pit on the sabbath,
Speaker 1: will not lay a hold of it and lift it out?
Speaker 1: How much more value than as a man than a sheep.
Speaker 1: Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.
Speaker 1: Then he said to them, stretch out your hand, and
Speaker 1: he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole
Speaker 1: as the other. And the Pharisees went out and plotted
Speaker 1: against him how they might destroy him. You see see
Speaker 1: that they are like, they're like hating what he's doing.
Speaker 1: They're also hating the fact that he's putting it in
Speaker 1: their face. He's showing him exactly how the law is
Speaker 1: supposed to be when these people are supposedly scribes and pharisees, big,
Speaker 1: big time intelligent people, you know. So Jesus is saying,
Speaker 1: is it not like like if your wife fell into
Speaker 1: a pit on the Sabbath, are you going to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll get you, I'll get you tomorrow. Honey. You know,
Speaker 1: I can't do anything on the Sabbath if your dog,
Speaker 1: you know, is it fell into the water and it
Speaker 1: can't swim and it's the Sabbath. Are you gonna let
Speaker 1: the dog die? If your wife fell into the ocean
Speaker 1: on the Sabbath, are you gonna let your wife die?
Speaker 1: Because you're not trying to like savor because it's the Sabbath,
Speaker 1: I can't do any work. Sorry, you're gonna have to die.
Speaker 1: Let me get another wife. No, you help people out.
Speaker 1: So when Jesus is healing on the Sabbath, he's doing good.
Speaker 1: The Sabbath is the Lord's day, you know. So let's
Speaker 1: check that out. That's a Matthew twelve, verse eleven. Matthew twelve,
Speaker 1: verse eleven. Let's look it. But uh, I want to
Speaker 1: see what the Sabbath means in Greek the seventh day
Speaker 1: of each week, which was a sacred festival in which
Speaker 1: they Isuelites were required to with stained from all work.
Speaker 1: The institution of the Sabbath, the law for the keeping
Speaker 1: holy every seventh day of the week, a single Sabbath,
Speaker 1: Sabbath day, seven days a week. So okay, so not
Speaker 1: to do any work. I think it's the work that
Speaker 1: where you would make money from it, but not abstaining
Speaker 1: from healing or helping people because it's a holy day, right,
Speaker 1: you want to rest. You don't want to make it
Speaker 1: basically like you know, if you have a six day
Speaker 1: work week where you're making money for six days, or
Speaker 1: you at a job, take that seventh day to rest,
Speaker 1: don't do any work. Okay, So we're at Matthew twelve,
Speaker 1: verse fifteen. I think, let me see. Yeah, Behold my
Speaker 1: servant is what it says. But when Jesus knew it,
Speaker 1: he withdrew from there, and great multitudes fall him, and
Speaker 1: he healed them all. Yet he warned them not to
Speaker 1: make him known, that it might be fulfilled. But she's
Speaker 1: spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, behold my servant, whom
Speaker 1: I am chosen, my beloved, and whom my soul as well. Please,
Speaker 1: I will put my spirit upon him, and he will
Speaker 1: declare justice to the gentiles. And he will not quarrel,
Speaker 1: nor cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in
Speaker 1: the streets. A bruce reed will not break a smoking flox.
Speaker 1: He will not quench until he sends forth justice to
Speaker 1: victory and his name. Gentiles will trust, And that's what happens.
Speaker 1: Look at us wrong, gentiles, and I love that, love
Speaker 1: that and Jesus's name. We trust you're sure. With the
Speaker 1: Missiak's name, we trust. Yeah, the prophecy has been fulfilled.
Speaker 1: That's what's happening right now. It was happening then too.
Speaker 1: A house divided cannot stand. And one was brought to
Speaker 1: him who was demon possessed, blind and mute, and he
Speaker 1: healed him, so that the blind and mute man both
Speaker 1: spoke and saw, and all the multitudes were amazed and said,
Speaker 1: could this be the son of David? Now when the
Speaker 1: Pharisees heard it, they said, this fella does not cast
Speaker 1: out demons except by Belzebel, the ruler of demons. Let's
Speaker 1: look that one up, Matthew twelve, verse twenty four. Let's
Speaker 1: see what they mean by that. Belzebub, the lord of
Speaker 1: the house, a name of Satan, the prince of evil spirits.
Speaker 1: You see, that's what it is. That's what belzheb. It
Speaker 1: is the name of Satan. So let's see what Jesus responds. Here,
Speaker 1: he says, But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them,
Speaker 1: every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and
Speaker 1: every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Speaker 1: If Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself.
Speaker 1: But then, how then will his kingdom stand if I
Speaker 1: cast out demons by belzebog? By whom do your sons
Speaker 1: cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But
Speaker 1: if I cast out demons by the spirit of God,
Speaker 1: surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you. Or
Speaker 1: how can you enter a strong man's house and plunder
Speaker 1: his goods unless his first binds the strong man, and
Speaker 1: then he will plunder his house. He who is not
Speaker 1: with me is against me, and he who does not
Speaker 1: gather with me scatters abroad. So how are you going
Speaker 1: to cast out demons in the name of demons? You know,
Speaker 1: basically saying he's casting out by the spirit of God. Okay,
Speaker 1: so surely the Kingdom of God is upon you, letting
Speaker 1: him know. Checking them once again, the Pharisees are just
Speaker 1: talking with no action and no proof, and Jesus intelligently
Speaker 1: is respond to them, letting him know exactly what's up
Speaker 1: the unpartable sin. So that's what the unpartable sin is.
Speaker 1: When you try to say that Jesus is doing stuff
Speaker 1: in the name of the devil or Satan, when he's
Speaker 1: actually doing it in the spirit of God. Therefore, I
Speaker 1: say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men,
Speaker 1: will be forgiven men. But the blasphemy against the Spirit
Speaker 1: will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word
Speaker 1: against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him.
Speaker 1: But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not
Speaker 1: be forgiven him, either in this age nor the age
Speaker 1: to come. That's what he's saying. He is casting out
Speaker 1: demons in the spirit of God or the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: So they're saying that, no, you're casting it out in
Speaker 1: the name of Satan or so that's what the impartable
Speaker 1: sin is. That's what it's saying. That's the context there.
Speaker 1: It's letting you know that the unpartable sin is what
Speaker 1: was exactly happening. In verse twenty five through thirty. He's
Speaker 1: telling them, you're getting really close. You're getting super close
Speaker 1: to the unpartable sin, warning them a tree is known
Speaker 1: by its fruit. Either make the tree. Either make the
Speaker 1: tree good and it's fruit good, or else make the
Speaker 1: tree bad and it's fruit bad. For a tree is
Speaker 1: known by its fruits. Broad of vipers, How can can you,
Speaker 1: being evil, speak good things for out of the abundance
Speaker 1: of the heart mouthspeaks. A good man out of the
Speaker 1: good treasure, for his heart brings forth good things, and
Speaker 1: an evil man out of the evil treasure, bringing forth
Speaker 1: evil things. But I say to you that for every
Speaker 1: idle wordman say, speak, they will give account word on
Speaker 1: the day of judgment. For by your words will be justified.
Speaker 1: By your words will be condemned. You will be condemned.
Speaker 1: So fruit, Speaking of fruit, you know, we were talking
Speaker 1: earlier about not being equally yoked, and like maybe some
Speaker 1: you know, think about the fruit of the Big Bang theory,
Speaker 1: the fruit of evolution, the fruit of gnosticism, the fruit
Speaker 1: of secret societies, the fruit of being a politician that's
Speaker 1: just money hungry and constantly deceiving people. What's the fruit
Speaker 1: it's all evil? What's the fruit of people that are
Speaker 1: money hungry. What's the fruit of alcoholism and pornography and drugs?
Speaker 1: It's nothing but stress and anxiety and depression. That is
Speaker 1: the fruit. But God is telling Jesus is telling you here,
Speaker 1: you know. And also like there's a fruit in ministry.
Speaker 1: There's a fruit from spreading the gospel. There's a fruit
Speaker 1: you know, if you start spreading the gospel and there's
Speaker 1: no fruit. Then then you know, you got to check yourself.
Speaker 1: But there should be good fruit in what we're doing here,
Speaker 1: this Bible study we're doing together. There should be good
Speaker 1: fruit that happens through this because we're speaking, we're just
Speaker 1: we're building faith by reading the word of God. So
Speaker 1: there should be good fruit. And this is the different
Speaker 1: type of feeling. You know, when you do this. The
Speaker 1: reward is is great, not like the reward I don't
Speaker 1: want to see reward like oh I want to see
Speaker 1: money or anything like that. The reward is great for
Speaker 1: the people that are listening hopefully, and I don't need
Speaker 1: to know, you know, necessarily what's happening or how many
Speaker 1: people are being saved or how many people. That's all God.
Speaker 1: All we're doing. All I'm doing is planting seeds and
Speaker 1: then it's up to God to water them. God is
Speaker 1: going to help you, but you gotta water though. You
Speaker 1: got to. You gotta keep reading Jesus, you gotta get
Speaker 1: closer to God, you gotta, you gotta just you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read the Bible to you. I'm going to
Speaker 1: try to explain it to you the best that I can.
Speaker 1: I'm not a preacher. I've never been a seminary school.
Speaker 1: I'm just a conspiracy theorist that loves the Bible and
Speaker 1: loves the Lord. And I'm a Christian. Okay, i am
Speaker 1: just here to teach, but I'm also here to preach.
Speaker 1: I'll let you know, I have to have some preaching
Speaker 1: and some teaching here. So Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
Speaker 1: We're almost we're coming up. We'll just finished chapter twelve,
Speaker 1: and yeah, let's do that. The scribes and Pharisees ask
Speaker 1: for a sign. See that the Jews always needed a sign.
Speaker 1: That's why God in the Old Testament kept on giving
Speaker 1: them miracles, signs, and wonders that people needed. That they
Speaker 1: needed the signs, and the Pharisees are no different. Then
Speaker 1: some of the scribes and Pharisees answered saying, teacher, we
Speaker 1: want to see a sign from you, as if you
Speaker 1: haven't been seeing signs already. He's healing the blind, the sick,
Speaker 1: the leprosy, bringing that child to life, these people anyways,
Speaker 1: But he answered and said to them, an evil and
Speaker 1: adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will
Speaker 1: be given. To accept the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Speaker 1: For as Jonah was three days and three nights in
Speaker 1: the belly of the great fish, so will the sun
Speaker 1: of Man be three days and three nights in the
Speaker 1: heart of the earth. You see, he's telling you about
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen when he dies races again after three days.
Speaker 1: It's saying he's gonna be in the heart of the earth.
Speaker 1: Jesus descended into the earth before he us sended to heaven.
Speaker 1: You see, it's he's breaking it down for us right here.
Speaker 1: For as Jonah was three days and three nights in
Speaker 1: the belly of the great fish, so will the sun
Speaker 1: of Man be three days and three nights in the
Speaker 1: heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will rise
Speaker 1: up in the judgment with the generation and condemn it
Speaker 1: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And indeed,
Speaker 1: a greater than Jonah, indeed, a greater than Jonah is here.
Speaker 1: The Messiah is here, your Christ is here, and they're
Speaker 1: just not able to see it. They're not able to
Speaker 1: see it. This is what Jesus is preaching to them.
Speaker 1: Like the one that's greater than Jonah is here right
Speaker 1: in front of your face, and you do not even
Speaker 1: see it. The Queen of the South will rise up
Speaker 1: in judgment with this generation and condemn it. For she
Speaker 1: came from the ends of the earth to the wisdom
Speaker 1: of Solomon. And indeed greater than Solomon is here. See
Speaker 1: Jesus didn't need to be that Solomon, that king in
Speaker 1: the temple with gold and silver and all this stuff. No,
Speaker 1: Jesus is greater than that, and he is here. He's
Speaker 1: letting him know. And unclean spirit returns. When the unclean
Speaker 1: spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry
Speaker 1: places seeking rest and finds none. Then he says, I
Speaker 1: will return to my house from which I came. And
Speaker 1: when he comes, he finds it empty, swept and put
Speaker 1: in order. Then he goes and takes him to seven
Speaker 1: other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and
Speaker 1: dwell there. In the last state of the man is
Speaker 1: worse than the first. So also also be with this
Speaker 1: wicked generation. I think that's interesting that it says that
Speaker 1: the unclean spirit goes out of a man and he
Speaker 1: goes through dry places seeking rest and finds none. He
Speaker 1: goes through dry places seeking rest and finds none. I
Speaker 1: wonder what that means, you know, For the the demon
Speaker 1: is he goes through dry places, seeking rest and finds none,
Speaker 1: and then I will return to my house from which
Speaker 1: I came. It's kind of crazy that he says. Then
Speaker 1: he goes and takes him seven other spirits more wicked
Speaker 1: than himself, and they enter and dwell there. Wow, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's so that's crazy all right. Jesus' mother and brother
Speaker 1: send for him. My throat is shot. Jesus's mother and
Speaker 1: brother said for him, whilst he has still talking to
Speaker 1: the multitoes, behold as mother and brother stood outside seeking
Speaker 1: to speak with him. Then once said to him, look,
Speaker 1: your mother and your brothers are standing outside seeking to
Speaker 1: speak with you. But he answered and said, to one
Speaker 1: who told him, who is my mother? And who are
Speaker 1: my brothers? And he stretched out his hand towards disciples, said,
Speaker 1: here are my mother and brothers. For whoever it does
Speaker 1: the will of my father in heaven is my brother
Speaker 1: and sister and mother. He's saying, like everybody's his brother
Speaker 1: and sister is what he's saying. So that's going to
Speaker 1: end right there. So Jesus is like he's focused on
Speaker 1: the mission at hand. My brother and my mother. Cool
Speaker 1: sounds good. Whoever does the will of my father in
Speaker 1: heaven is my brother and sister and mother. Wow, dude,
Speaker 1: So next week we're gonna go ahead and pick up
Speaker 1: at Matthew thirteen. As long as my voice is here,
Speaker 1: you know. Geez man, it's been literally like a seven
Speaker 1: days of this. Pray for me. Anybody that hears this
Speaker 1: pray for me. I need prayer too, and I'll be
Speaker 1: praying for you guys as well. I will get into
Speaker 1: the parable of the sewer, so we'll get into some
Speaker 1: good stuff. I will study, I will study, I will study,
Speaker 1: I will study. I will do my best to study
Speaker 1: all the chapters. I studied Matthew eight, Matthew ten, Wait,
Speaker 1: Matthew nine, Matthew ten, and a little bit of eleven.
Speaker 1: So I got four chapters that I studied. I didn't
Speaker 1: get all of eleven. But I want to try to
Speaker 1: study the five chapters that we end up doing. I
Speaker 1: want to make sure that I study the five or
Speaker 1: six chapters thoroughly so I could be equipped for every
Speaker 1: good work and I could try to do my best
Speaker 1: to explain these verses to you guys. But thank you
Speaker 1: so much. So let's like I always do, I end
Speaker 1: this in prayer. So Father God and the name of Jesus.
Speaker 1: You're show with the misiak, Jesus the Christ, the Messiah,
Speaker 1: the Son of God. Lord, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: sending Jesus to come and show us the real way
Speaker 1: that we're supposed to be. Jesus is the blueprint. He
Speaker 1: is he explaining exactly the way we're really supposed to
Speaker 1: worship you, Lord, and he is the mediator between us
Speaker 1: and you. Thank you forgiving us that mediator. I know
Speaker 1: when I'm studying the Old Testament in the Book of Exodus,
Speaker 1: the priests would have to go into a temple and
Speaker 1: have to wear these garments, and they go in there
Speaker 1: and they're the ones that are able to speak to you.
Speaker 1: Now we have Jesus the mediator between us and you. Lord,
Speaker 1: Thank you forgiving us to Jesus the mediator. Thank you
Speaker 1: for giving us your son to die on the cross
Speaker 1: for our sins. Lord, we appreciate that. Lord, you gave
Speaker 1: your only begotten son, for whoever believed them shall not perish.
Speaker 1: But I should not perish, but I've everlasting life. Thank
Speaker 1: you for that. Lord, Thank you so much. And you know,
Speaker 1: when we go through the Book of Matthew, help me
Speaker 1: to help whoever's listening, Lord, through through my speech, help
Speaker 1: me to speak the way that you want me to
Speaker 1: deliver the words. And please, Lord, as I'm trying to
Speaker 1: plant seeds, please help it to grow. Help the people
Speaker 1: that are listening to read your word, Lord, and appreciate
Speaker 1: your word and appreciate the value of everything that we
Speaker 1: learn through your Bible or through your word. We appreciate
Speaker 1: every moment that we have to be able to read
Speaker 1: your word, and we appreciate you giving us Jesus to
Speaker 1: explain to us how to thoroughly have a blueprint on
Speaker 1: how we're supposed to live, how we're supposed to pray,
Speaker 1: how we're supposed to actually worship you. Lord, Thank you
Speaker 1: for that. I really appreciate everything you do for me
Speaker 1: and for this show and for this podcast, and for
Speaker 1: the people that are listening. There's a lot of people
Speaker 1: going through major struggles right now, including my sister. Lord,
Speaker 1: you know what she's going through. Please assist her. Anybody
Speaker 1: that's out there that has a brother and sister that
Speaker 1: maybe is going through hard times and tough times right now, Lord,
Speaker 1: I ask that you put your healing hand over them,
Speaker 1: take them out of this lie that the enemy is
Speaker 1: bringing them through, dragging them through the mud, tap dancing
Speaker 1: all over their life and just you know, dragging them
Speaker 1: through all these hardships, including myself. Lord, assists me to
Speaker 1: be holy and set apart. Assist everybody that's listening to
Speaker 1: have obedience. That's what we want. We need obedience to
Speaker 1: your word. The way that we show that we love
Speaker 1: you is obeying your commandments and obeying you. Lord, Help
Speaker 1: us to have obedience and show us the correct way
Speaker 1: to worship you, show us the correct way to live.
Speaker 1: Help us to live your will, and let it be done. Lord.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I love you and I appreciate everything you
Speaker 1: do for us and you show them at Seahawk's name. Amen.
Speaker 1: All right, let me just stop screen sharing real quick.
Speaker 1: If you're watching this on video, thank you guys so
Speaker 1: much for joining this. This is Wednesday Service, episode number three.
Speaker 1: I hope you are enjoying the New Testament we're going through.
Speaker 1: Please join me for Sunday Service. As I go through
Speaker 1: the Book of Exodus, I should be good to have
Speaker 1: an episode and a Bible study for Sunday Service. I
Speaker 1: will start studying tomorrow for that one, so you know, guys,
Speaker 1: I do take my time to study and it is
Speaker 1: a lot of time. I have three kids, one two
Speaker 1: year old, one four year old, and one six year old. Okay,
Speaker 1: I am juggling. I have a full time job, and
Speaker 1: in my job, I'm actually on call twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1: I work for a water district, so I'm on call
Speaker 1: all the time. So I am very busy. I have
Speaker 1: Josh Monday, Christian and conspiracy podcasts, and I have Sunday
Speaker 1: Service and Wednesday service for cult to conspiracy podcasts. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I do my best. So if you could, like
Speaker 1: I said, please leave a review on Apple as well.
Speaker 1: I like to read those reviews and be like okay cool.
Speaker 1: It helps me and it helps Jonathan and Jacob know
Speaker 1: to keep me around. So you guys need to DM
Speaker 1: them and say, hey, I really appreciate Wednesday service. I
Speaker 1: really appreciate Sunday service, so they could keep me around.
Speaker 1: Because there's people out there that need to hear the truth.
Speaker 1: They need to hear the gospel. They need to hear
Speaker 1: what Jesus did for us. They need to hear what
Speaker 1: God did for us by sinning has only be Godden said.
Speaker 1: They need to hear this stuff, and they need to
Speaker 1: hear Sunday Service, which is the Old Testament, which is
Speaker 1: the foundation, and they need to hear Wednesday Service, which
Speaker 1: is the New Testament. We're speaking of Jesus. They need
Speaker 1: this in their life, believe me. So I don't want
Speaker 1: this to be taken off the air. I wanted to stay,
Speaker 1: you know, on cult conspiracy podcasts because I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of lost souls that God can save, and
Speaker 1: the only way for them to be saved and build
Speaker 1: faith is by hearing the word of God. Okay, Romans
Speaker 1: says it, Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the
Speaker 1: word of God. We want to equip everybody with the
Speaker 1: weapons for spiritual warfare. They need to know who's behind
Speaker 1: all the conspiracies, the devil, the fallen angels, the demons,
Speaker 1: they're the ones conspiring. Okay, people need this. So if
Speaker 1: you could let me know how I'm doing, let me know.
Speaker 1: You could you could DM me or you could you know,
Speaker 1: DM Jonathan and Jacob, just to say, hey, keep Sunday
Speaker 1: Service on the air, keep Wednesday Service on the air,
Speaker 1: because you know it's helping us out in some type
Speaker 1: of way. Whatever you want to say. But anyways, I
