  Speaker 1: I'm trying. No, I am. I will yeah, I will succeed.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Matter of fact, already complete mission, all right, coming to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you live from Alta Monte Springs. Lord, this is the Ember,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: show your host Ember. First and foremost, let's get into prayer, Lord,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Father that arts in heaven. I come to you in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: prayer to be able to have the Holy Spirit, be
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: able to speak through the listener's ears and reach their
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: hearts and minds, and be able to apply these verses
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to their lives and the Lord Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So let's just jump right into Matthew chapter eleven. If
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you want to go ahead and grab your bibles or
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: get on your bible lap and read along as you
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: hear along. I highly encourage you to be able to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: soak up the word as much as possible. Amen. In
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Matthew chapter eleven, this has been a lot about Jesus,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and I love the Gospel of Matthew, so this is
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: gonna be. Jesus talks about John the Baptist. Now, John
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the Baptist is the one that baptized Jesus. So we're
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in verse one. Let's go ahead. Jesus taught all these
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: things to his disciples, his twelve disciples. After he had finished,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: he went away from that place. He went to the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: towns near there to teach his message to people. So
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: once he had his disciples, this is when it was
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: time to go really spread the message because he also
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: had assistance. It wasn't just him in the human flesh
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: as the spitting image of God. He could have done
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it all by himself, but he showed an example that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you need a group of people in order to fulfill
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the mission. And when we get into verse two, at
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that time, John the Baptist was in prison, but people
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: told him about all the things that Jesus the Messiah
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was doing. So John sent some of his own disciples
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to ask Jesus some questions. Verse three. They said to him,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: John wants to know this. Are you the special people
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that God has promised to send us? If not, should
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: we look for someone else. Here comes Jesus, and this
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: is Matthew. Chapter eleven. Verse four states Jesus replied, go
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: back to John, tell him what you have been hearing.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Also tell him what you have been seeing. Verse five.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Blind people can now see again. People who could not
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: walk can now walk again. People who had a bad
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: skin disease, are now well again. Deaf people now here again,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: people who had died now live again. This is what
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Jesus is telling him to go tell John, so John
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: could be like he can. Actually, it's not necessarily go
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: tell him what I've been doing, but tell him what
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you have done. And seeing verse six, if anyone believes
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: in me and he does not turn away, he will
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: be truly happy. And taking this from my point of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: view right now kind of away from the Holy Spirit, none,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: no offense taken. And truthfully it's my show. I could
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: do that, but being as a follower of Christ over
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: just being a believer of the happiness that I've able
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to obtain. It's more than just oh I'm happy. It's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a joy that is in my bones that no situation,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: no person, no place, no thin can take away. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it also says John's disciples went away again. Jesus spoke
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to the crowd about John. He said to them, you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: went out to the wilderness. What did you go there
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to see? What is a tall piece of grass which
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the wind was blowing the way? And that, no, you
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: did not go to see that? Verse eight. Did you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: go to see a man who was wearing expensive clothing. No,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: people like that do not live in the wilderness. See,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Jesus went off many times by himself, away from the disciples,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to go be able to pray and be more intimate
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: with God, his father. Now, when you were with your
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: significant other, when you're with somebody and you're telling them
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: personal information, it's more one on one conversation. Right, It's
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the same concept with Jesus and being able to be
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: more in unity with his father by disconnecting. To reconnect
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to his father, he had to get away from everybody.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: He had to go in nature. He had to be
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: by himself. So they live in King's Great House. And
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: actually we already saying so verse nine, So what did
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you go to see? Did you go to see a prophet? Yes,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: But I tell you John was even more important than
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a prophet. This is what someone wrote about him a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: long time ago in the Bible. God said, listen, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: will send you someone to go in front of you.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: He will speak my message. He will prepare a way
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: for you. Jesus is bragging on John right now because
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: he was there to baptize him and to open up
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the heavens. Now, let's get deeper Jesus then said, I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: tell you this, John the Baptist is greater than any
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: person who has ever lived until now. But now anyone
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: who belongs in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than John.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Even the least important of them is greater than he is.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So think about what John was placed to do, and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you it's amazing how much God has a place for
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: each and every one of us. Whether obviously it's in heaven,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: if we choose to obey him here on earth and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: be glorified with him in heaven. But it's more when
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: we have really accepted Jesus Christ as our world and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: savior and being able to have that belonging right, belonging
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to the Kingdom of Heaven. Let's get into it a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: little deeper. Let me see, let me see. We're on time.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: We're doing good. Okay, So we're on thirteen. From the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: time that John the Baptist began to teach until now,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom of Heaven is becoming very strong. Strong people
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: were trying to attack it. All of the prophets and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the books of the Law spoke God's message until the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: time that John the Baptist came verse fourteen. The prophets
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: who wrote Elijah. They said he would come again to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: prepare for the Messiah. They were writing about John, and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you should believe their message. This is verse fifteen, and
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: we'll get close to close on out. We'll go to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: about seventeen. You have ears, so listen well to what
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I say. There's a responsibility when we have ears and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: when we have a voice, and when we have these
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: senses that we tend to take for granted, not necessarily granted,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: but we just don't use them properly, right, And there's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot that it's the opposite
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of that as well. We are definitely vessels and the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: spirits run through us, and we have our own capabilities.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: But I get when I'm speaking of this even deeper.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I go deep into these verses because it also spiderwebs me.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You know, when we're talking about John the Baptist being
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: such a high figure before Jesus came, you know, it's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: something that when it's really interesting because it's like John
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: must have been a sinless pretty close to Jesus in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: order for Jesus to be like, you know, because he's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a spitting image of God, Jesus the son of God,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: so to be able to be baptized by John. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: mean's obviously God had favor on John before Jesus even came.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So we all have a purpose. That's really what I'm
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: trying to get to. You have ears, right, so listen
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to this. Jesus said, I will talk to you about
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the people who are alive today. They are like children
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: who are sitting in the marketplace. They're playing games and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: they shout to other children. We made happy music on
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and we sang a sad funeral song, but you did
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: not cry. People today are like those children. John the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Baptist did not eat ordinary food. Now, as we go
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: deeper into the Gospel of Matthew, I want to make
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: this clear. As I close out, the transitional periods of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: these gospels can make you wonder if it's even possible
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that these things happened right like these things were written down.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But you need to know that at this particular time
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: there was not a whole lot of laptops and computers.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: At this time we had that we have it such
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: standards these days too. You know, we don't have to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: write things but the disciples were literally writing things down
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: in books. And these are the gospels of Matthew, Luke John,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: all these popular names that you hear, right, these are apostles.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: These are the ones that witness Jesus. There are so
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: many that perly witness Jesus but can't write or even
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: talk about it, right. They're just so delivered from what
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: they've their disease or the miracle that Jesus did, or
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: just being able to see the Son of God in
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: flesh and see the miracles. I can only imagine what
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that would do to people. It would either make them,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: you know, frightened. They would also make them like, all right,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: this guy is who he says he is right, there's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: no in between, like you have to pick. And I
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: can only imagine how difficult that was for people back then.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it wouldn't be that hard for me. I'd
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: be all right, you know, because you it's not just
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the way that Jesus said the words. It's how you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: can tell that he genuinely meant those words. And I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: follow that in every conversation that I try to have
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: with people. I'm not the best at it. I am
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: also in recovery, but at the end of the day,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I am on the right path, the narrow path of
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: following Christ by not only just doing these Bible studies
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and sharing my testimony, but actually being able to go
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and worship Jesus and be able to also pray and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: be able to make it to where I spend most
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: of my days focused on Him, because if I don't,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and if I don't focus on my recovery, then I'm
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: focusing on what I used to do, whether that's drinking,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: using listening to certain music, doing certain things, going to
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: certain places. So the things that I do in my
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: wilderness season, being able to, as I say, put the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: work in is completely transforming me. And it's periods of
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: months that there is a lot of change that takes place.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It's not necessarily day by day like in a program.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Where I'm at now, I honestly have the capacity to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: know how much I can do in a month and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: what I can accomplish, either it's financially and mentally, physically,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: spiritually and exactly with my career. Whatever I might choose
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to have in store for the Ember show is completely different.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: You never know what God's plans are. It can be
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a complete three sixty. So I don't want to put
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: too much empacy or too much power on this episode,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: but I really highly encourage you to stick around. I'm
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: not going to anywhere anytime soon, because I enjoyed doing
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: these podcasts, and fifteen minutes is more than enough to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: be able to cover fifteen verses. And the way that
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: some of these episodes go, you'll hear some music, and
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that's what you're about to do right now. This is
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the Ember Show, and this is one of my freestyles
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that I uploaded on my phone, and it is very,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: very dear to me. Thank you for a personal to playing.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I remember, God loves you best, but I gotta tell
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: you I'm less, actually am more. And yes the pain
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: was sore, but what I got from it is like, yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: he was knocking at my door and I really ignored.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Now I'm really in this parking lot, really talking about Yes,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I'm really spitting hot fire because I can't stop real talk.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I love her. She is my significant other. You don't understand.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I'm taking care of whether my brother, my mother, So
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I need to hold the spirit each and every day.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of people, man, they don't even know what
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: to say, so they really just go off what they heard.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: A lot of LEF people, they really need to be cured.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm real living the like it. It's not going
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: to be the weed. It's not going to be the pills.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. I live full the thrill.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And I thought all those things would take her away.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm talking about the pain and I'm talking about
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: tempo really fixes. I know when you drink them spirits,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: it's yeah, they take it to a whole nother dimension.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: But it's not gonna be where you really want to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: find peace. Huh. Yeah, I really want to be on
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a lake. I really want to be like, man, where
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is my pace? Where is my breeze? Let me just
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: get some coffee or some tea, and let me be
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: thankful for life because it can be taken away from
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: me
