  Speaker 1: Alright, coming to you live from Altamonte Springs, Florida. This
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is the Ember Show. Your host, Ember. First and foremost,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: let's get into prayer. Lord Father, that arts in heaven,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: mic and go through the listeners' ears and reach their
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: hearts and minds and be able to apply these verses
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to their lives. In the Lord Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: And I say that in every episode, almost to the T,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: because I believe In the power of prayer. And as
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I record this episode on the go, please bear with
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: me and I highly encourage you to grab your Bibles
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: or get on your Bible app and read along as
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you hear along. 2 Peter chapter 2. And we're going
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to go through at least the first 10 verses, if
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: not the first 15, and break them down a little
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: bit as we go. So, highly encourage... to read along
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: as you hear along, and I've given you enough time
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to do so. But if you just want to hear along,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: please listen all the way to the end. 2 Peter
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: chapter 2 states and titled, God will punish false teachers.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Verse 1, many years ago there were false prophets among
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: God's people. They did not speak God's true messages. In
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the same way, There will also be false teachers among you.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I've seen them. Trust me, I have seen them. They
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: will come among you and they will teach you things
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: that are not true. See, that's where exactly where you
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: learn from what not to do. Sometimes the greatest teacher
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is actually the worst example. Let me get deeper. Let
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: me go a little further. Their wrong ideas will deceive people.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Those false teachers will even speak against their sin. As
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a result, they will bring trouble on themselves that quickly
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: destroys them. Many people will believe these false teachers. They
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: will live in a bad way like the false teachers.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: As a result, other people will say bad things against
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: God's true way to live. So mankind here is... Completely.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Since the beginning. That's why it took so many people
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: before Jesus to actually fulfill the prophecy. Keep this in mind.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: We all fall short of God's standards of living. So
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: why are we judging one another to the degree that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: we all have a tendency to do? God even punished
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the angels who refused to obey him. He threw them
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: down into the deep hole of hell. He tied them
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: up and he kept them in that completely dark place.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: They will remain there until the day when God will
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: judge them. That's a very powerful verse and should be
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: alarming to a lot of And even though we all
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: fall short of God's standard, that doesn't mean that we
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: don't have to live up to a standard. And that
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: standard is Jesus Christ, allowing the Holy Spirit to come in.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And from experience, from being just a believer into a follower...
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And I'm not perfect at it. I never will be. See,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. We have been so deceived by false
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: teachers that we have to live a certain way. Go
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to church. Do this. Do that. And truthfully, some of
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: these churches do not teach like Jesus did. And that's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: how you have to have it. It can't just be teaching.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: There has to be Sense of humor. There has to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: be a personal relationship almost with the whole entire crowd.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of expectations to live up to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: for some of these pastors. And that's why at my
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: home church I pray for my pastor. Normally we go
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to church to look for prayer and look for help, right? Well,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that's not the perspective I looked at when I came
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: truly following Christ. How can I... There's one thing to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: want a hand up, and then there's one thing to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: want a hand out. If you're not learning from the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: circumstances that you've been in, then there's some insanity there.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: We need the clarity. How do we do that? We
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: focus more On something that's greater than us. Let that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: sink in. Also a long time ago. God punished all
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the bad people who lived in the world. He sent
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: water to cover. Over all. Of the earth. They thought
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Noah was crazy building that boat. All the people who.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Had turned away. From him drowned in the water. But
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: God kept Noah safe. Noah had told people. God's message
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that they should do right things. Do right things. You
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: should do right things. And in order to have that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: guilt and that shame to be uplifted, right? When we
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: really think about beating ourselves up for what we've done,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we are so easy to forgive others but not forgive ourselves.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: What is this really saying though here? that God is
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a loving God. He gives you opportunity. He gives you time.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: He gives you 24 hours in the day. And what
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you do with those 24 hours in a day, glorifying
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: God or glorifying yourself, glorifying others, is finding that balance, right?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And you know that doing the next right thing isn't
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: always going to make you feel good. You're not going
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to always want to do it. But doing the right
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: thing really shows that you are a child of God.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And over time of consistency, right? I can get deeper
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: into it. Like these verses have definitely spoke to me.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I hope they have spoken to you as well. Later,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: God punished the people who lived in the cities of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Sodom and Gomorrah. Because they did bad things, God decided
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to destroy them. He burned those cities completely so that... Sorry,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to walk and I cannot really see too good.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: There's no... When God did that, that's where you can
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: see that none of this is edited or none of this.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: This is also a lot of it just straight off passion.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And the Holy Spirit just taken captive of the whole episode.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Majority of it. See, now I'm taking some of it. See,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and it's a give and take, right? It's also when
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it comes to having that relationship with God. It doesn't
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: all just have to be just prayer. It doesn't have
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to all just be worship. It doesn't have to be
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: all just. Like you have to find a balance. And then.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: At the same time. You know God gave us talents.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Like are we going to use them. Or are we
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: just going to. Abuse them. And. When you have that calling.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You got that calling. It's better to get in line.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Than to be. So discouraged to not even fall in love. Oh,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: let me preach. Let me stop though. 2 Peter 2,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: verse 7. But God saved Lot from danger. Lot was
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a good man. He was very sad because the people
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of Sodom did not obey God's law. They lived in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a very bad way. Lot lived among those bad people.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Every day he saw the bad things that they did.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Every day he heard the bad things that they said.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: As a result, Lot made much trouble in his head
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: because he was a good man. When you are a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: good person, good, I don't want to keep this in
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the same version, but I want to take some time like,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: When you are such a good person and you... You
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: have to... Listen to... Negative... Conversations or... Negative comments... That is...
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Very toxic for... For a good man... Because... A good
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: man can only take so much of hearing so much
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: ugly stuff until they explode. And that's when anger takes control.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: But the main point that I'm trying to make as
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: well is that there was trouble in his mind, the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Bible says. That's why it also says in the Bible,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: do not lean on your own understanding completely. We have
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to have some sort of understanding, right? What should we
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: have some understanding in? That we cannot do this life alone.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: We need the Holy Spirit. We need that through the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: relationship with Jesus Christ, which connects us to God Almighty,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: which the plans that He has already had for us,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: now we can grab it. And we can glorify God
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and make him happy again. And consistently. That's where we
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: mess up. As a body of Christ. We ain't consistent.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: We get distracted. We want to put time. On things
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that aren't feeding us. Anything. To direct us. It's just
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: burning time. That's idle time. And. And. I'm really heavy
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: on this because I've wasted a lot of time in
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: my time. So now with where I'm at and where
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going, I don't have time for nonsense. I don't
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: have time for evildoers. I don't have time to people please.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: All I have time for is God's will AA Recovery,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the love of my life, Jennifer, my brother, and my mother.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: As you can see, I am not on that list.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Praise God. Praise Jesus. Praise Holy Spirit. Because you want
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to know where my reward's at and my priority is?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: It's in heaven. So heaven awaits for me. And see,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: this is where also I want to get. More assertive.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: And more... With realizing that this is... My show because...
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I can do anything with my... My talent. Of being
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: able to speak... Two minutes. And I know... That for
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a fact... That this is what I'm supposed to do.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Music is what I'm supposed to do. Being a father...
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Being somebody. This doesn't come naturally. You got to go.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Create it. And you're not always going to have. Your
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: companion by your side. You're not always going to have
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: your brother by your side. You're not always going to
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: have your sister by your side. Sometimes. It's only going
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to be you and the Holy Spirit walking. How you
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: hold yourself together. Well. Well. That determines how the results
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of you making it through the weather. Jesus showed us
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in the midst of the storm. He was sleeping on
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the boat. And I also want to leave this last
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: minute for the love of my life. I don't know
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: when you'll listen to this. But each and every day,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: my love for you grows stronger. And it makes me
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: even more aware spiritually than I've ever been. And it's
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: those types of people that have made the biggest impact
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: on my life. It's the ones that I care about
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the most. The ones I love the most. Those are
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the people that make the most impact on me. Because
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I see their struggles. I see their victories. I see
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: their good. I see their bad. And you know what? Christlike.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I love them for who they are. Where they're at.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you for pressing play. This is the Ember Show. Peace.
