  Speaker 1: All right, coming to you live from out to Monte Springs, Florida.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: This is the Ember Show. Your host, Ember. First and foremost,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: let's get into prayer. Lord, Father, that art in heaven,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: mic and be able to go through the listeners' ears
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and be able to reach their hearts and their minds
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and be able to apply these verses to their lives.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: In the Lord Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen. And
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm one of the listeners to this Bible study. has
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: helped me out dramatically in the last six months. And
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I've done it before, before I started recovery, just not consistently.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: And that's something, you know, we're going to be covering
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Mark chapter 8 and then chapter 9 in the next episode.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But there will be a lot of other things that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: will be thrown in as well with recovery and faith.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: They kind of go hand in hand. So if you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: want to grab your Bibles or get on your Bible
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: app and read along as you hear along, I highly
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: encourage that. And Mark chapter 8, and it is titled,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: let's see, let's see, let's see. Jesus gives food to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a crowd of 4,000 people. Mark chapter 8 verse 1 states,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: At that time another large crowd had come to hear Jesus.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: The people had nothing to eat. Jesus asked his disciples
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to come to him. He said to them, I feel
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: sorry for the crowd. They have been here with me
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: now for three days and they do not have any food.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I do not want to send them back to their
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: homes while they are hungry. They might fall down during
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: their journey because they are weak. Some of them have
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: traveled a long way to come here. Now we're talking
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: about Mark chapter 8, verse 1 through 3. How Jesus
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: had so much compassion for those that he was speaking to.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Not only did he spend three days talking to them,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: not only educating them, but also giving them hope, giving
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: them access to His Father, right? By having the presence
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit in front of them. I can
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: only imagine how that had to feel for these people, right?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: That they would stick around for three days. to listen
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to another human being. How many of us go to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: church or have gone to church or any kind of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: organization or program where, oh, can't wait till this is over.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I can't, already thinking about what we're going to do,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: what we're going to eat before we even leave. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: these people, for three days, Didn't eat, didn't drink. But
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: listen to Jesus. He must have been saying some really
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: profound things that they needed. Not that food or water
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: could quench. But their souls, amen. So the disciples said,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: this place is far from any houses. We cannot get
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: enough bread to feed all these people. Jesus asked, How
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: many loaves of bread do you have? They replied, We
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: have seven loaves. Jesus told the crowd that they should
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: loaves in his hand and he thanked God for them.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: We're talking about his father. Then he broke the bread
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and he gave the pieces to his disciples. The disciples
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: gave the bread to the people. The disciples also had
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a few small fish. So Jesus thanked God for these.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Then he told his disciples to give the fish to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the people too. The people ate and they all had
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: enough food. After the people had eaten, there were still
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: lots of small pieces of food. Jesus' disciples filled seven bowls.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: baskets with these pieces. About 4,000 people were there and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: ate the food. Then Jesus sent them, sent the people away.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So not only did Jesus deliver a message, but he
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: also fed them nutrients so they could get back What
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: can we obtain from these verses, Spirit? What can we
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: do in our times of trying to be like Jesus, right?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Being able to feed the masses. Not only Did Jesus
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: have that giving heart? It doesn't say anywhere in this
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that they said thank you. Jesus didn't need a thank you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Jesus had an assignment to do. But I can only
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: wonder how satisfied these people must have really been To
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: be in not only the presence of Jesus, but to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: witness a miracle. Seven loaves of bread. Just a few fish.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Multiplies it. And 4,000 people not only get fed. But
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: there's leftovers at the end. Amen. Glory to God. And
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I should have said glory to God, then amen. But
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: here's the thing I want to talk about as well.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: All right, spirit. There's no wrong or right way to pray.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: There's no wrong or right way to read the Bible.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: There's no wrong or right way to attend church. Come
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: as you are. Don't follow Other believers. Oh, let me
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: go deep. Oh, I feel this. The only person that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you should be following instructions from is Jesus. And how
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: do we find out what Jesus wants to do in
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: our lives? We get into the Bible. We can apply
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: these verses to our lives. This is a basic instructions
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: before leaving earth. Let me rephrase that again and say
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it again. This is a basic instructions before leaving earth manual.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Not only does the repetitiveness of how the Bible repeats itself.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: There's a reason why we need to repeat things. How
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: do you get better at doing something? You continue to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: repeat it. You might not be good at it at first.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Then you start to practice more, practice more. Then you
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: start getting intermediate. Then keep doing it, keep doing it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You become an expert. Consistency is key though, right? But
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: when we're getting into verse 10, immediately he got into
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the boat with his disciples. They all returned to the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: region of Dalai Monata. The Pharisees, Want Jesus to do
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a miracle. Here we go. Talking about the religious leaders, right?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: We're talking about how, before I even get into the verse,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: we're already talking about religious leaders. That's what the Pharisees were,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the priests, right? How many people, places, or things want
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to see you performed? Now we're talking about a miracle.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a performance, right? We're seeing something be done.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: How much does the church want to see you give?
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: How much does your job want you to work overtime?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: How much does your loved ones want you to work
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: harder but give more time and give more and give
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: more and give more? We can be able to give
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in that capacity when we have the Spirit of God
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: in us, multiplying not only our finances, because everybody thinks
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: just because you follow Jesus that you're going to be poor,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: or you have to like it says in the Bible,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: sell everything and follow me is what it says. But
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: when it really means what it's really referring to in
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: my perspective is selling... Everything that you hang on to.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: We're not just talking about your finance. If anything, you
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: conserve that. Make that a security. But we're talking about
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: sell everything. The material things that don't get used. We're
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: talking about sell your depression. How can that happen? It
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: can happen. Sell your misery. Give it all to God.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: By following his son. By allowing the Holy Spirit in.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And to ring. And to win. God has plans for
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: us to prosper. We just have to align with him.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: If we don't and think that we can do it
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: our own way. Or do it a program's way. Or
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: do it this way. Or do it this way. There's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: more than one way. But there is only one way.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: To really do it perfect. And that is by following
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. And as I continue. To not only. Become
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a greater person. I will never be perfect. But for
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: me to have the ability. To be able to speak
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: about somebody that was perfect. Is my purpose. And it
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: can be yours too. The message is the mission. The
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: message is the purpose. However you want to apply it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Some Pharisees came to Jesus. They began to argue with him.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Just like your boss, right? Just like certain people. They
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: want to argue. They want to stir you up. It's
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the spirit and the spirits that are doing that now.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: They wanted to see him do a miracle. They would
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: show them that God had really sent him. Jesus cried
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: with a low, sad sound. He said, people who are
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: alive today want God to show them something powerful. But
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I tell you, this, God will not do the powerful
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: things for them that they want. It's not God's will.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Everybody wants to see a miracle. Everybody wants to see
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: things go their way. Everybody wants, wants, wants, wants. We
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: don't focus on the needs, right? That our soul needs. Amen.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Let me go deeper. Then Jesus left those Pharisees. He
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: got back into the boat to go to the other
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: side of the lake. We're going to close out right here.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Jesus warns about the Pharisees and about Herod. Jesus' disciples
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: had forgotten to take bread with them. They only had
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: one loaf in the boat. Jesus said to them, Be careful.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Do not accept the yeast of the Pharisees or the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: yeast of Herod. The disciples began to say to each other,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Jesus is saying that because we do not have any bread.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Jesus knew what they were talking about. So he said
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to them, You should not be arguing about the bread.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: You still do not understand my teaching. You seem unable
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: to learn. You are like people who have eyes, but
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: they cannot see with them. You are like people who
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: have ears, but they cannot hear with them. Remember that
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I used five loaves of bread to feed 5,000 men.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: How many baskets did you fill with pieces of food
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that were left? They replied, There was twelve baskets. Let's
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: go ahead and close out right there. I'm only thirty seconds.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And we're going to go into Mark chapter nine. And
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I just want to thank you, the listener, for pressing
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: play from wherever you're from. I am from Florida. And
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: born and raised. And I'm very grateful that I have
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the ability to be able to allow the Holy Spirit
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: to speak with you this afternoon, evening, or morning. And
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: just keep coming back. Because the episodes are going to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: get better. And The Ember Show is only growing. So
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I hope to continue to be able to do this.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: So thank you for listening. The Ember Show.
