  First Timothy chapter 2, let us pray our Lord and our God and
• 0:10
  our King and our everything. Thank you, Lord God, for
• 0:13
  everything that you have done for us.
• 0:16
  Thank you for waking us up. Thank you for family.
• 0:19
  Thank you God, for all of the things that you do each and
• 0:24
  every day, the things seen and unseen.
• 0:26
  God, keeping our bodies alive and humming.
• 0:29
  God, all the things that you are moving mightily throughout this
• 0:33
  entire world that we may never know about on this side of
• 0:37
  eternity. Thank you God, for sustaining
• 0:41
  us. Thank you God, for protecting
• 0:44
  us. Lord, I pray for righteous
• 0:47
  leaders to rise up in this hour. God, I pray that men will be men
• 0:52
  in this hour. God, I pray against the schemes
• 0:57
  of the enemy. Father, I pray that you will
• 1:00
  supernaturally fill us. God and I pray for the family
• 1:05
  unit. I pray for you to strengthen
• 1:08
  families. God, in this hour, I pray for
• 1:11
  fathers to be fathers in this hour.
• 1:15
  God, I pray that women will see the roles that they have inside
• 1:24
  of the marriage covenant. God is holy.
• 1:27
  Lord, I I pray that they will see their ministry.
• 1:30
  Lord, I pray for children to learn obedience.
• 1:36
  God, I pray that they will learn how to accept correction.
• 1:42
  Lord and authority. God, I pray in the name of Jesus
• 1:47
  for law enforcement. God, I pray for the military.
• 1:51
  God, I pray that you will help supernaturally show them what is
• 1:57
  their role in the holiness and in the righteousness that you,
• 2:03
  Lord God, are well pleased with. Lord, I pray that you will raise
• 2:11
  up for yourself a generation that will glorify your holy
• 2:16
  name, Lord, and will not shrink back.
• 2:20
  Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus that you will be well
• 2:25
  pleased, Lord, with all of those who are called by your name God.
• 2:33
  And I pray that we will step in to the reality that you are
• 2:38
  supreme and that you're moving mightily all around us and that
• 2:43
  You are for us and not against us.
• 2:45
  God, I pray in the name of Jesus against all of the schemes and
• 2:51
  the wicked tyrannical attacks of the accuser of the brethren.
• 2:58
  God, bind the enemy from off of our families.
• 3:01
  God, bind the enemy from off of our houses.
• 3:06
  God, and off of our workplaces. Lord, I pray in the name of
• 3:10
  Jesus that we will rise up and be your hands and feet and be
• 3:19
  image bears. God, I pray in the name of Jesus
• 3:23
  that we will reflect. Yeshua, I pray God, that you
• 3:28
  will help us to fall more madly in love with you, that we will
• 3:34
  be fools for Christ's sake. We love you King Jesus, we
• 3:44
  worship you. King Jesus, you are our
• 3:48
  everything. We love you.
• 3:53
  Come, Lord, come help us to wait.
• 3:57
  Well, in the mighty name of Jesus, I pray.
• 4:00
  Amen. Well, let's start in verse one.
• 4:08
  I exhort, therefore, that first of all, supplication, prayers,
• 4:17
  intercession, and giving of thanks be made for all men.
• 4:24
  So Paul here is wanting us to pray for our leaders.
• 4:31
  He wants us to pray for every single person on planet earth,
• 4:36
  all people, groups, friends. We pray for our enemies.
• 4:41
  People are not the problem. It's the demonic spirit behind
• 4:45
  them that is fueling this doctrine of demons, this agenda
• 4:52
  for anarchy, this agenda for the dismantling of everything that
• 4:58
  is good and wholesome and pure and lovely and anything that is
• 5:04
  anti human. Anything that is destroying of
• 5:11
  human life, whether it be abortion, whether it be gender
• 5:15
  bending, whether it be the same sex relationships is a demonic
• 5:24
  attack. Friends, God desires for us to
• 5:33
  step in to His reality and what He has said and not our own
• 5:42
  vanity and our own morality. Friends, it does not work that
• 5:48
  way. God desires for us to protect
• 5:52
  life. God desires for us to procreate.
• 5:57
  God desires for one man and one woman to come together and to
• 6:02
  have godly children. Friends, that is the desire of
• 6:08
  Yahweh everlasting. And Paul wants them to know and
• 6:14
  he's writing to Timothy and saying pray, pray for those all
• 6:21
  over the world. And again, people are not the
• 6:25
  problem. It is all of the satanic revolt
• 6:31
  that we war against to, for kings and for all they that are
• 6:40
  in authority, that we may lead a quiet, peaceable life in all
• 6:48
  godliness and honesty. So he's saying pray for the
• 6:53
  leaders all over the world. Pray for them that God would
• 6:58
  raise up godly leadership so that it would be possible for us
• 7:05
  to live quiet, peaceable lives. Godly lives.
• 7:10
  Friends, that is what we desire, and it is bringing heaven to
• 7:16
  earth and we can see darkly and dimly and in part now, but one
• 7:21
  day we will see it in the fullness when Jesus Christ takes
• 7:25
  His rightful place on the throne for 1000 year reign of peace
• 7:31
  prior to the New Jerusalem for all of eternity, where we will
• 7:38
  dwell with Him and He with us forever and ever, Amen.
• 7:44
  And we can see these slivers of heaven on earth whenever His
• 7:52
  will is done here, just as it is there. 3-4 This is good and
• 7:59
  acceptable in the sight of God, our Savior.
• 8:02
  God desires for us to pray for our leadership, regardless of
• 8:10
  what side of the aisle they're on, regardless of who's in the
• 8:16
  top tier seat. We pray for them, and we pray
• 8:20
  that God's will will be done in their lives and through them.
• 8:27
  And sometimes inept, incapable leaders are the judgment that
• 8:38
  God places upon a land. Those who have no business being
• 8:43
  in those positions are God's judgment upon a land, friends,
• 8:50
  for who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the
• 8:57
  knowledge of the truth. God desires to have
• 9:00
  representatives from all nations and all people groups, all
• 9:05
  tongues and all skin colors, all backgrounds.
• 9:08
  God desires to save people from every single camp, friends, and
• 9:15
  that is why it's very important for us to not hold back from
• 9:20
  sharing the gospel with anyone, regardless of what they look
• 9:23
  like, regardless of how they try to present themselves and their
• 9:30
  false identities. We need to spread the seed,
• 9:35
  spread the gospel, regardless of the false pseudo appearance that
• 9:42
  people want us to see. They are made in the image of
• 9:45
  God, friends, and that is why we share the word of God to
• 9:49
  anybody, because because God doesn't desire for any to
• 9:53
  perish, He wants them to come to the saving knowledge of the Lord
• 9:58
  Jesus Christ. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God
• 10:10
  and men, the man Christ Jesus. Praise God, that man, the first
• 10:16
  born, went up and sat at the right hand of God, and he is the
• 10:23
  man Christ Jesus, and he has a incorruptible body.
• 10:31
  And we will one day receive that incorruptible body, and the same
• 10:36
  power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead lives in you and
• 10:41
  lives in me. St.
• 10:46
  And he makes intercession, and he says, this one is mine.
• 10:50
  When we stand before Almighty God one day he will not see any
• 10:56
  of your sins and transgressions. He will only see the blood of
• 11:01
  Jesus Christ covering you from the top of your head to the
• 11:05
  bottom of your feet, and you will hear well done, good and
• 11:08
  faithful servant, and come into the rest that He has prepared
• 11:13
  for you. Six who gave himself a ransom
• 11:19
  for all to be testified in due time.
• 11:23
  It'll be in due time, friends, and I want you to know that
• 11:28
  Israel is God's timepiece. If you want to know what God is
• 11:33
  doing in the world, just pay attention to that little land
• 11:37
  and you will see how fast prophecy is speeding up by
• 11:42
  paying attention to Israel. And it'll be in due time.
• 11:48
  And Jesus Christ himself offered himself a perfect, spotless,
• 11:54
  blameless lamb, and only one was found worthy to open the scroll.
• 12:01
  And that is what you need to know.
• 12:03
  All of His perfection and innocence is imputed to you,
• 12:09
  believer. He takes on all of your
• 12:14
  sinfulness on the cross of Christ.
• 12:18
  This scandalous exchange happened as God turned away from
• 12:23
  him, which is why it grieved Jesus so much. 7 Whereunto I am
• 12:32
  ordained A preacher, an apostle, I speak the truth in Christ and
• 12:38
  lie not a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and Verity.
• 12:44
  So Paul here needlessly tells us his credentials, and he shows us
• 12:50
  that he is not lying and that he we can bank and build our lives
• 12:55
  upon this. Let every man be a liar, but
• 12:59
  only God Almighty is the only one who speaks truth.
• 13:04
  And Jesus Christ is truth, friends, and we need to know
• 13:10
  that Paul preached the word of God.
• 13:13
  Paul preached the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 13:17
  Paul was an ambassador of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, and now
• 13:25
  we are forever eternally blessed by Paul's obedience to God
• 13:31
  Almighty. 8 I will therefore that men pray everywhere,
• 13:38
  lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting.
• 13:43
  So Paul here is wanting us to know that we are to praise God
• 13:48
  eternal, forever and ever in the congregations that we find
• 13:53
  ourselves in. Lift up holy hands and you can
• 13:57
  be holy because He is holy and it's nothing that you have or
• 14:01
  haven't done. It's everything that He did, and
• 14:04
  you are marked with Him, and you are identified with Him, and you
• 14:10
  lift up your holy hands in the congregation and pray and do not
• 14:14
  pray prayers of wrath and angry prayers, friends, that is not
• 14:19
  becoming of a St. And do not pray doubting, don't
• 14:24
  doubt and be tossed to and fro. That is not becoming of a St.
• 14:29
  Friends 9 In like manner also that women adorn themselves in
• 14:41
  modest apparel with shame, facedness and sobriety, not with
• 14:51
  braided hair or gold or pearls or costly array.
• 14:58
  Paul here is wanting the wives to know that they should not
• 15:04
  'cause attention to themselves. They are under the authority of
• 15:10
  their husbands and he's letting them know that they do not need
• 15:16
  to try to make themselves attractive, that they are to be
• 15:22
  under their husband's leadership and they do not need to cause
• 15:28
  any kind of attention to themselves.
• 15:32
  They need to be modest in their clothing and modest in their
• 15:37
  dress and modest in their hairstyles.
• 15:41
  Friends. And of course you could go and
• 15:43
  you could try to talk about the context of their time and their
• 15:49
  age, but it is just as relevant today as it was for this time.
• 15:55
  And that is what He wants us to know.
• 15:57
  God desires for women to be modest and to not 'cause
• 16:02
  attention to themselves and for them not to try to be the center
• 16:07
  of attention. Friends, married women are to be
• 16:13
  modest and there will be a lot of arguments is if they don't
• 16:19
  make themselves attractive that their husband's eyes might
• 16:22
  wander. And that is such a grave
• 16:28
  mistake. And that is why 99.99% of men
• 16:34
  have squandered their leadership is because they refuse to act
• 16:40
  with integrity. They refused to be ravished and
• 16:44
  enamored with the wife of their youth.
• 16:46
  And so it causes such a disruption in the godly order of
• 16:51
  what God desires, this submissive wife that is so
• 16:57
  pleasing to God Almighty. And we live in a day and we live
• 17:02
  in an hour where this gets so completely misconstrued of what
• 17:07
  God's heart is. And it is because we're being
• 17:11
  attacked on all sides and hard pressed by all of these
• 17:16
  disgusting images, these lustful, youthful desires that
• 17:21
  men refuse to bridle. They refuse to take a hold of
• 17:30
  their youthful lusts. And that is why you see such
• 17:34
  disorder in the family unit, friends, and that is why women
• 17:41
  will not be submissive because they do not have a leader that
• 17:45
  they feel is worthy of that. And that is where you see such a
• 17:53
  breakdown in the family unit and in God's perfect harmonious
• 17:59
  relationship within the marriage.
• 18:02
  It is God at the head, and then it is the man in, then it is the
• 18:08
  woman, and the woman will only follow the man to the degree
• 18:12
  that that he is sold out to King Jesus.
• 18:17
  And then you will see the children obeying the mother to
• 18:20
  the degree that she is submissive to the husband.
• 18:24
  And it is this beautiful stairstep when it is enacted
• 18:29
  properly. But we are so disorderly in this
• 18:32
  day, in this hour, and we're paying the consequence at a vast
• 18:39
  rate on a grand scale. You can see the breakdown of the
• 18:45
  family unit. 10 but which becomes women professing
• 18:59
  godliness with good works. So he's saying let your works
• 19:04
  show through. If you claim to be a godly
• 19:09
  woman, then it will be brought about in the things that you do.
• 19:16
  You don't need to cause attention to yourself.
• 19:20
  That is a very very immature woman of God.
• 19:28
  If you have been walking with God for any amount of time, if
• 19:32
  you have a competent leader in your life, your husband is
• 19:36
  actually sold out to God Almighty.
• 19:40
  Then as you mature you will see the air of your way and how you
• 19:45
  need to be modest and and be found with good works and that
• 19:55
  will be attractive to your husband and that will be what
• 19:59
  God is pleased in. 11, let the woman learn in silence with all
• 20:09
  subjection. You need to understand the
• 20:12
  perfect order that God has for the family unit.
• 20:16
  And he is unapologetic in it, friends.
• 20:20
  And if applied correctly, there's so much peace and
• 20:24
  harmony within the home and within the church.
• 20:27
  And he's telling the women here, Paul writing to Timothy for the
• 20:33
  church in Ephesus, that they need not be a distraction and
• 20:39
  cause all kinds of unneeded attention to themselves by
• 20:47
  speaking out of turn within the church and hollering and causing
• 20:55
  attention upon themselves. And Paul saying that they need
• 21:00
  to sit and wait. If they have things that they
• 21:03
  want to ask their husbands, they need to wait until they are at
• 21:09
  home. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp
• 21:20
  authority over the man, but to be in silence.
• 21:30
  Go back before the fall. You go back to Genesis and look
• 21:36
  at how God created all of the animals.
• 21:39
  He created them male and female. And then look at how he created
• 21:43
  Adam from the dust. And then he put Adam to sleep
• 21:47
  and he took his rib out and he made Eve as a helper friends.
• 21:52
  And we are equal Co heirs of eternity friends.
• 21:58
  And man is not better than woman.
• 22:02
  And this is where we get all turned around and we get our
• 22:07
  feelings hurt. And women feel as if they need
• 22:12
  to usurp their authority over their men because their men are
• 22:17
  acting like little boys or like animals or God forbid like women
• 22:25
  and become effeminate. And what you need to understand
• 22:30
  is in the perfect harmony of God's order for the family and
• 22:38
  for His church capital C The ecclesia is for men to act like
• 22:46
  men and to be the leaders. And you see whenever Eve was
• 22:51
  deceived, you can see when God steps in, he says to her, you
• 22:57
  will desire your husband, but he will rule over you.
• 23:01
  And that might be a hard word for many of these feminist women
• 23:06
  who think that they are better than men.
• 23:10
  But God in his perfect plan for all ages, that is relevant for
• 23:15
  today. This is not something of a
• 23:17
  yesterday. This is not an antiquated
• 23:20
  friends. This is for this day, for this
• 23:24
  hour, for now, for all time's sake until the blessed return of
• 23:29
  our Lord Jesus Christ. These words are trustworthy and
• 23:33
  true. They're infallible and inerrant.
• 23:35
  And God did not stutter. And part of the woman's faithful
• 23:44
  walk with God is to be submissive to her husband.
• 23:51
  And This is why it is so incredibly important to be very,
• 24:00
  very, very picky when it comes to choosing a husband.
• 24:09
  You need to be guarded, women, before you ever choose a
• 24:15
  husband, you make sure that he is someone who loves God more
• 24:20
  than he loves you and then it will be easy to submit and we
• 24:27
  can see this breakdown. You can see where a lot of the
• 24:31
  heresy and the apostasy is coming from is when we allow the
• 24:38
  Word of God to be watered down for the plain truths that there
• 24:42
  is not to be women teachers who are usurping their authority
• 24:48
  over the man. And this is not misogynistic.
• 24:52
  God loves women. Jesus Christ revealed his deity
• 24:57
  to the Samaritan woman at the well.
• 25:00
  Jesus Christ revealed his resurrection to a woman.
• 25:07
  Jesus did so much for women's rights in that day, in that hour
• 25:12
  friends. He allowed the women to follow
• 25:15
  him around. But it was 12 men that he chose
• 25:19
  to be his apostles and ambassadors.
• 25:23
  And it is not because men are better than women.
• 25:26
  We are equal and Co heirs of all eternity.
• 25:30
  But it is God's model and we don't get to cherry pick and we
• 25:34
  don't get to choose what parts of the Bible that we like and
• 25:38
  agree with and what parts of the Bible don't belong.
• 25:42
  It does not work that way. We read it in plain truth in
• 25:46
  black and white friends. And God did not stutter, and he
• 25:51
  meant what he said, and He said what he meant.
• 25:53
  Friends, far be it from us to try to make the Word of God to
• 25:58
  become congruent and homogenize it with the current culture.
• 26:03
  It does not work that way, friends.
• 26:05
  He meant what He said, and He says what He means. 13 For Adam
• 26:13
  was first formed, and then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived,
• 26:21
  but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
• 26:26
  So in the church and in the home, God desires for the man to
• 26:32
  be the leader. And it is plain as the nose on
• 26:35
  your face. And we could debate until the
• 26:37
  cows come home, but you're just warring and fighting against
• 26:40
  God, which will never amount to anything but frustration.
• 26:48
  And you can see here that Adam willfully disobeyed God whenever
• 26:52
  he ate the fruit. But it was Eve who was deceived.
• 26:56
  Friends 15 notwithstanding, she shall be saved in childbearing
• 27:12
  if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with
• 27:19
  sobriety. What's he talking about here?
• 27:30
  The woman will never feel as complete and fulfilled as she is
• 27:36
  in her role as a helper and as a mother.
• 27:43
  And there is such an attack on God's creation whenever we say
• 27:49
  that marriage is just a legal document, when we say that we
• 27:54
  don't want to have children. There's such an attack, friends.
• 28:00
  And it is sad to a holy God who knows what he's talking about.
• 28:08
  And he instituted marriage and he instituted the family.
• 28:13
  And he has a perfect order and a perfect plan.
• 28:16
  And when we rail against God, it is to our own frustration and
• 28:22
  demise. And the woman will never be as
• 28:26
  satisfied and as whole as she is when she chooses to be
• 28:32
  submissive and to get married and to have children.
• 28:37
  And she will find her purpose in this life, Friends, whenever we
• 28:45
  want to go outside of God's order, when we want to try to
• 28:50
  usurp authority, when we want to go and to do things that are
• 28:54
  contrary to God's Word, it will only lead to frustration.
• 28:58
  And there are many who are trapped in that now who will be
• 29:01
  hostile towards God's Word. But later they will find the
• 29:06
  error of their way and they will see that God is so good and He
• 29:12
  knows what He's talking about. And we need to fall in line with
• 29:16
  God's word if we want to find peace and we want to find
• 29:20
  purpose and we want to find meaning to this life.
• 29:25
  And that is what He's talking about here in verse 15.
• 29:29
  That she will finally see what she was created for when she
• 29:34
  steps into the role that God has for her.
• 29:37
  And until then, it will be perpetual frustration and
• 29:41
  warring and fighting against God.
• 29:46
  I hope that you've been blessed by this amazing chapter in God's
• 29:49
  Word. I know I sure have.
• 29:53
  I'm praying for you. I love you, God loves you, God
• 30:14
  bless you. See you back here tomorrow.
