1:16
Speaker 1: I want to say welcome, welcome, welcome to all my
1:19
Speaker 1: new people because I'm getting new people every day. And
1:23
Speaker 1: thank you for that. I can track it. Um, And
1:27
Speaker 1: welcome to my old reliables that have been with me
1:29
Speaker 1: no matter what happened. And all the new, well, they're
1:32
Speaker 1: not new, but all the people who refound me, they
1:37
Speaker 1: got reacquainted with me. Because remember, my first podcast was
1:45
Speaker 1: taken off after five years. I want to say five
1:50
Speaker 1: years or maybe it was four. If it was four
1:53
Speaker 1: or five years, I had many years originally there, and
1:57
Speaker 1: then it was taken off. But then I had to
2:00
Speaker 1: start it again, and I believe this is the second
2:04
Speaker 1: year or the first. I can't remember. I just know
2:07
Speaker 1: it's six years, okay? Been here since actually 2019, but
2:16
Speaker 1: haven't uploaded on a larger platform until 2020. So that's that.
2:27
Speaker 1: I hope, again, that your day is wonderful. And I
2:29
Speaker 1: have a message or two for you before I do
2:34
Speaker 1: this lesson. And I want to say this. I was
2:39
Speaker 1: doing large series of lessons that I was breaking down.
2:44
Speaker 1: And even from my original platform, I was re-uploading. And
2:49
Speaker 1: I have that on the platform library. But I want
2:52
Speaker 1: to tell you, I'll be doing things. It's not necessarily
2:56
Speaker 1: a series, but they are congruent. OK, they all connect
3:02
Speaker 1: so that you could understand the larger picture of what's
3:07
Speaker 1: going on. As I already stated, what my purpose was.
3:12
Speaker 1: for being on this platform is to guide you through
3:15
Speaker 1: the scriptures and help you understand what's going on in
3:20
Speaker 1: end days and make those connections. So every bread, bread crumb,
3:25
Speaker 1: excuse me, every dot, every Easter egg, every whatever you
3:28
Speaker 1: want to call it matters. Okay. And today we are
3:34
Speaker 1: in end times. We are on a slow boil. The
3:40
Speaker 1: water is um, heating up and you can see bubbles,
3:45
Speaker 1: but we are not at a boiling point, but just
3:48
Speaker 1: know that, um, figuratively that is, um, we're in the
3:55
Speaker 1: beginning stages of World War III, um, and, uh, many
4:00
Speaker 1: nations are having civil war as well as war outside, um,
4:06
Speaker 1: with other nations, even, um, within, um, every sector or
4:17
Speaker 1: every system is having rumblings and separation against one another
4:29
Speaker 1: that's causing all this mass anger and contention and strife.
4:37
Speaker 1: So I say that because I'm going to be talking
4:40
Speaker 1: about loosely today. And I will continue to talk about
4:49
Speaker 1: that and I will bring it up when I touch
4:52
Speaker 1: on it specifically. Today is something that has to do
4:58
Speaker 1: with that indirectly and we'll be talking about it. I'll
5:02
Speaker 1: also be drinking so you'll always hear the silences because
5:05
Speaker 1: it's dry in my office and I have allergies. You
5:13
Speaker 1: can also hear the cracking in my voice because of
5:17
Speaker 1: my allergies and hopefully I don't lose my voice. So,
5:22
Speaker 1: I want to talk about something today, and I'm hoping
5:27
Speaker 1: that it's not long. Now, I've been doing some really
5:30
Speaker 1: long lessons. The longest lesson I've done was three hours
5:35
Speaker 1: in one lesson, three plus hours. And I know that
5:38
Speaker 1: is extremely long, but it's very important. I don't want
5:41
Speaker 1: to keep breaking it down, breaking it down, because if
5:43
Speaker 1: something happens and I have to re-upload it, it'll save
5:47
Speaker 1: me some headaches. It'll also save you some confusion because
5:51
Speaker 1: depending on how I upload it, honey, anything can happen.
5:57
Speaker 1: So I just want you to know that. But I'll
5:59
Speaker 1: try to keep it as precise and concise as I
6:02
Speaker 1: possibly can. This being one of those lessons is short,
6:07
Speaker 1: but I wanted you to notice. I will be doing
6:11
Speaker 1: shorter lessons so that I can upload it to various
6:13
Speaker 1: platforms and not have to be cut off or compromised
6:18
Speaker 1: in any way. So with all of that being said,
6:21
Speaker 1: because I know that was a mouthful. Hold on. I
6:29
Speaker 1: want to present this lecture to you. Get myself together here.
6:37
Speaker 1: And it's called Discipline. Now, I could have named it self-discipline,
6:44
Speaker 1: but it's just overall discipline. And I will get specific
6:48
Speaker 1: once I get into it. So the name of the
6:55
Speaker 1: lecture is Discipline, What It Is and What It Takes
6:59
Speaker 1: to Move Forward in the Spirit. Okay. It's very important
7:05
Speaker 1: because we need discipline to... get by okay so what
7:15
Speaker 1: does it take to be disciplined okay um and how
7:22
Speaker 1: do we how do we achieve discipline okay self-discipline how
7:30
Speaker 1: important is it to be disciplined okay especially today um
7:38
Speaker 1: most of the time it's taught at home OK. And
7:42
Speaker 1: when these questions are asked, most people don't even give
7:47
Speaker 1: it a second thought, much less a first thought, especially
7:52
Speaker 1: in these end days. OK. It's very important to have discipline.
8:01
Speaker 1: It's also important to be able to ask yourself the
8:04
Speaker 1: question about discipline and self-discipline, just overall discipline. Like I said,
8:11
Speaker 1: in these end days is very important. This is an
8:16
Speaker 1: important subject. So I'm going to define the word. And
8:23
Speaker 1: then I'll break down how important it is today because
8:27
Speaker 1: we all need discipline. And we don't have that today.
8:31
Speaker 1: Look at the world. Look at the United States. Remember that.
8:35
Speaker 1: Look at the cabinet today and look at the president.
8:39
Speaker 1: Do you see any discipline there? Any discipline. Anti-discipline. Yeah.
8:46
Speaker 1: So this is an important subject, okay? As a matter
8:51
Speaker 1: of fact, I was having this conversation with somebody who
8:53
Speaker 1: has a reckless and restless child, okay? And this is
8:58
Speaker 1: how this all came about because this is really important.
9:03
Speaker 1: This individual, and I'm not going to say names or anybody,
9:07
Speaker 1: This individual is not happy about her child's behavior, okay?
9:13
Speaker 1: And this individual, gentle parents. She does gentle parenting, which
9:19
Speaker 1: is not needed today, honey. She gentle parents her child,
9:25
Speaker 1: but it's clearly not working. Yet, this individual does not
9:29
Speaker 1: understand that discipline is important in our lives. Discipline... It's
9:35
Speaker 1: supposed to come down from the parents or those who
9:41
Speaker 1: raise their children in any capacity, aunt, uncle, grandma, whoever
9:48
Speaker 1: has custody of this child. It's supposed to come from
9:54
Speaker 1: home first. That's how it's developed, okay? It's developed. and
10:00
Speaker 1: implemented at home. Okay? Because this is important. Okay? And
10:15
Speaker 1: this person is not doing a good job. Okay? yet
10:22
Speaker 1: the person doesn't understand that their discipline, quote unquote, is
10:29
Speaker 1: not working and discipline, overall discipline of ourselves is very important. Okay.
10:36
Speaker 1: So this mother, I'm just going to say mother or yeah,
10:40
Speaker 1: I'm just, this mother has expressed her dismay at the child.
10:47
Speaker 1: Like she's, She's not happy with the kid. I told
10:54
Speaker 1: her that she needs to discipline the child because she
10:56
Speaker 1: came to me and she expressed, oh, I don't like
10:59
Speaker 1: the way this child is doing X, Y, and Z.
11:04
Speaker 1: So she's coming to me with it. I believe in
11:09
Speaker 1: what the scriptures say, spare the rod and spoil the child.
11:15
Speaker 1: So I told her that she needs to discipline the child.
11:18
Speaker 1: And she said, oh, no, no, no. I don't hit
11:20
Speaker 1: my child. That's what she said to me. And I
11:23
Speaker 1: told her discipline and corporal punishment is not the same thing. Okay.
11:30
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it again. Discipline and corporal punishment
11:36
Speaker 1: is not the same thing. Now, I'm going to tell
11:38
Speaker 1: you how I'm an expert in that. And I am. Okay. Okay.
11:44
Speaker 1: I am an expert in that because that was my job,
11:48
Speaker 1: at least one of my jobs, to determine what discipline
11:54
Speaker 1: was and what corporal punishment was, to determine risk and harm,
12:01
Speaker 1: the risk of harm, the elevated risk and harm. unelevated
12:06
Speaker 1: risk of harm. That was my job. That was one
12:10
Speaker 1: of my careers is to determine that. So by law,
12:17
Speaker 1: to determine that by law, that was my job for many,
12:22
Speaker 1: many years. So I am able to not only... advise
12:30
Speaker 1: this person just as a friend or somebody who she
12:35
Speaker 1: could run that by but by law I was mandated
12:42
Speaker 1: to be able to determine okay risks of harm so
12:49
Speaker 1: as I told her discipline and corporal punishment is not
12:53
Speaker 1: the same thing okay Pawful punishment can be included or
13:00
Speaker 1: added to the discipline, but it's not necessarily the same.
13:04
Speaker 1: And after I explained that to her and provided an example,
13:11
Speaker 1: because she didn't get it, simply because it wasn't clearly
13:15
Speaker 1: registering to her, possibly because she was undisciplined, and she is, okay?
13:23
Speaker 1: Not trying to talk about people, but she is. So
13:28
Speaker 1: I said, and I'm just going to say, if you
13:32
Speaker 1: don't have something, if you were never taught something, how
13:35
Speaker 1: are you able to teach somebody else something if you
13:38
Speaker 1: don't have it? If you are void of self-discipline, how
13:43
Speaker 1: are you to teach somebody discipline? You can't because you
13:47
Speaker 1: don't have it. I'm just saying, and this goes in
13:50
Speaker 1: any arena. Okay, if you don't have it, how can
13:54
Speaker 1: you teach it? So it goes back to me when
14:00
Speaker 1: I told her, I said, think of the military. I
14:03
Speaker 1: told her to think of the military and how the
14:08
Speaker 1: military personnel, all those people who sign up for the military,
14:14
Speaker 1: they don't get hit physically, physically punished. They don't. Okay.
14:23
Speaker 1: There are regimens that are taught and exercised So that
14:28
Speaker 1: they don't forget their teachings. That's discipline. Okay. It's instances
14:37
Speaker 1: of reinforcement behaviors or reinforced behaviors. Okay. Positive reinforcement. Okay.
14:48
Speaker 1: And repetition. Okay. As well as cause and effect. And
14:57
Speaker 1: at this time, she got it. I had to give
15:00
Speaker 1: that little scenario to her. But honestly, I don't believe
15:07
Speaker 1: that she would take my advice, even with the explanation.
15:12
Speaker 1: And this may not be my problem, but it certainly
15:20
Speaker 1: will eventually become a large problem for her and for
15:24
Speaker 1: the child. And I'm going to tell you why. Number one,
15:33
Speaker 1: this individual and her child is a child of Israel.
15:37
Speaker 1: And we, as the children of Israel, have to teach
15:40
Speaker 1: our children extra stuff, which I told you before. Okay?
15:46
Speaker 1: And without the right discipline, trouble comes rushing in. And
15:50
Speaker 1: it could be detrimental if there's no self-discipline. I'm going
15:55
Speaker 1: to say it again. We have to teach our children,
15:59
Speaker 1: children of Israel, daughters and sons of Zion. We have
16:01
Speaker 1: to teach our children, our progeny, extra things that nobody
16:07
Speaker 1: else has to teach their children. I already said this
16:09
Speaker 1: a boatload of times and it's true. However, and the
16:15
Speaker 1: reason why I'm saying this is because many of our
16:17
Speaker 1: progeny is not doing it and they're losing their children.
16:22
Speaker 1: And then they're looking around like, oh, what, what, what?
16:25
Speaker 1: Like they don't know. And they probably don't, but hopefully
16:29
Speaker 1: this lesson will drive it home. Okay, because enough is enough.
16:34
Speaker 1: We are all tired of losing our children. This is
16:38
Speaker 1: why it's important to be disciplined. Okay, and our discipline
16:42
Speaker 1: and everybody else's discipline is not the same thing. We're
16:45
Speaker 1: the children of Israel. That's number one. Number two, this
16:49
Speaker 1: child will have to deal with a larger system. Right now,
16:53
Speaker 1: he's just dealing with a small system. I already told
16:55
Speaker 1: you there's three systems. The micro, the meso, and the macro. Micro, meso, macro.
17:09
Speaker 1: And people who are in the careers of psychology, social work,
17:20
Speaker 1: any other mental health field, they understand what I mean.
17:23
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't, the microsystem is your family.
17:27
Speaker 1: When a child is small, a baby, all he knows
17:31
Speaker 1: is your direct family members. That's it, primary family members.
17:35
Speaker 1: They may not even know secondary family members or extended
17:39
Speaker 1: family members. They know the primary people that take care
17:42
Speaker 1: of them and that's where discipline should start. Again, there's
17:46
Speaker 1: a difference between discipline and corporal punishment. Okay. The mesosystem,
17:53
Speaker 1: which is the middle system. When a child gets old
17:56
Speaker 1: enough to go to school, the neighborhood, his peers, he'll
18:00
Speaker 1: develop peers that'll be his friends or not, whatever. And
18:06
Speaker 1: those are the people he'll deal with. That's the mesosystem.
18:09
Speaker 1: That's the middle ground. Okay. He may know the neighborhood,
18:13
Speaker 1: go to the neighborhood teen center or whatever when they
18:17
Speaker 1: start growing up. And then it's the macrosystem dealing with
18:19
Speaker 1: the world. People's individuals views do not coincide a lot
18:27
Speaker 1: of times with the larger systems, rules and regulations. And
18:32
Speaker 1: this is exactly what I mean when you don't have self-discipline, right?
18:38
Speaker 1: You may not have it in the macro system and
18:40
Speaker 1: it's okay with them, but when it becomes the meso
18:43
Speaker 1: system and the macro system, I mean, let me say
18:47
Speaker 1: it again. When you're in the micro system, it's just
18:50
Speaker 1: the family. So your raising of a child that may
18:56
Speaker 1: be off putting to other people is not recognized. When
18:59
Speaker 1: you get to the meso system, in that meso system,
19:04
Speaker 1: They may recognize that. Like when you're in primary school
19:07
Speaker 1: and secondary school, the teachers will be like, oh, well,
19:09
Speaker 1: this person is not listening. So they might write you
19:12
Speaker 1: up or put you in special education or whatever, because
19:15
Speaker 1: it may not be a dysfunction of the mind. It
19:18
Speaker 1: may be the child is spoiled and used to getting
19:24
Speaker 1: what they want. So if they're not going to get
19:25
Speaker 1: what they want, they're going to start acting out. That's
19:28
Speaker 1: not permissible anymore. In the mental system, in the school system,
19:33
Speaker 1: in your neighborhood with your friends, that's not permissible. Nobody's
19:38
Speaker 1: going to put up with that. So that is going
19:41
Speaker 1: to cause a problem. And then when the child becomes
19:45
Speaker 1: an adult, a young adult up until full adulthood, that attitude.
19:50
Speaker 1: and those ways are not going to fly. So that's
19:54
Speaker 1: what I mean about the macro, meso, and macro system. Micro, meso, macro. Okay?
20:02
Speaker 1: No system. So the second part, because the first part
20:06
Speaker 1: is we children of Israel, we got to teach our
20:09
Speaker 1: children extra stuff. And being disciplined is a priority. Because
20:16
Speaker 1: you have to be. Because when you get older, you
20:18
Speaker 1: got to deal with police and all that stuff. You
20:21
Speaker 1: could just walk out your house and be policed by
20:24
Speaker 1: an individual or the actual police. You must have self-discipline.
20:29
Speaker 1: But I don't want to put the car before the horse.
20:30
Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know. The second reason, and there's
20:34
Speaker 1: two primary reasons. Number one, you're a child of Israel.
20:36
Speaker 1: If you are, you've got to teach your children extra
20:38
Speaker 1: stuff with the discipline, okay? Second part, or number two,
20:44
Speaker 1: is he'll have to deal with a larger system, which
20:46
Speaker 1: I explained to you already, okay? And when this child
20:50
Speaker 1: grows up, whether it be he or she, the individual
20:55
Speaker 1: will have to deal with many different types of people
20:58
Speaker 1: and attitudes, okay? And they may even, these people may
21:03
Speaker 1: even be less disciplined than the child. I'm going to
21:08
Speaker 1: tell you what my mother used to always tell us.
21:12
Speaker 1: There's always somebody better than you. You think you're bad?
21:15
Speaker 1: There's somebody better than you. Which is bad. Because if
21:19
Speaker 1: you think you're bad and you don't have no discipline,
21:21
Speaker 1: there's always somebody who don't have discipline. The even worse
21:25
Speaker 1: thing is, if you don't have the protection, and you
21:29
Speaker 1: know what I mean, You ain't getting away with nothing.
21:32
Speaker 1: But that person will. I don't care how bad that
21:35
Speaker 1: person treated you. That person will give preferential treatment, but
21:40
Speaker 1: not you as a child of Israel. So like I said,
21:46
Speaker 1: when you get older, you're going to experience different types
21:49
Speaker 1: of people, behaviors, and attitudes. Okay? Okay? And they may
21:58
Speaker 1: even be less disciplined than you, or in this case,
22:03
Speaker 1: the child at hand. And this is a recipe for disaster.
22:11
Speaker 1: And for the children of Israel, you know what I
22:14
Speaker 1: mean when I say this. Now, I am going to
22:17
Speaker 1: define discipline. Okay? Okay? both in the dictionary, in the
22:26
Speaker 1: Webster's dictionary, and a spiritual definition, because we need to
22:31
Speaker 1: know it. So first I'm in the Webster's and it
22:34
Speaker 1: says this, discipline is a noun. Okay. And the synonyms
22:40
Speaker 1: for discipline is control, gain by enforcing disobedience or obedience, sorry. Control,
22:49
Speaker 1: gain by enforcing obedience or order. Okay? Struggle to maintain discipline. Example,
22:58
Speaker 1: like in a classroom. Behavior in accordance with rules and regulations,
23:05
Speaker 1: which is orderly conduct. Okay? Self-control. Okay? And punishment, which
23:15
Speaker 1: is corporal punishment. Okay? Instruction. So that is our governance.
23:27
Speaker 1: That is the definition, a short definition of discipline, which
23:32
Speaker 1: we all need, by the way. And the most high
23:35
Speaker 1: even does it, but I don't want to put the
23:37
Speaker 1: court before the horse. Remember, now I'm going to, hold on. Okay.
23:46
Speaker 1: I am going to decipher what it means. as a
23:58
Speaker 1: transitional verb or a verb, to be disciplined, okay, to
24:04
Speaker 1: punish or penalize, okay, as a means of enforcing obedience. Again,
24:13
Speaker 1: to train or develop by instruction and exercise, especially in self-control,
24:19
Speaker 1: and to impose order, okay? Now, That this word has been,
24:31
Speaker 1: now that this word has been defined, we see that
24:42
Speaker 1: the word discipline has a few meanings, but it all
24:51
Speaker 1: boils down to having self-control, okay? Now I'm going to
24:58
Speaker 1: give you the spiritual view in regards to spiritual discipline.
25:04
Speaker 1: They are regular intentional habits and practices such as prayer,
25:10
Speaker 1: scriptural reading, fasting, detoxing, and service, okay? Undertaken to foster
25:19
Speaker 1: inner transformation, deeper relationships with the Most High, and growth
25:28
Speaker 1: in spiritual maturity. That's the short answer, okay? So we
25:35
Speaker 1: know that this is important. Self-discipline is very important because
25:44
Speaker 1: it deepens your relationship and it gives you a foundation
25:54
Speaker 1: that you don't have to, uh, you don't have to, uh,
26:04
Speaker 1: deviate from, okay. You don't have to deviate from this
26:10
Speaker 1: because it will be, uh, planted in you, nurtured, and
26:18
Speaker 1: you won't forget it. So that's important. That is important.
26:23
Speaker 1: So now that this, um, This word discipline has been
26:32
Speaker 1: defined both ways. We see that there is a line
26:37
Speaker 1: between discipline and being disciplined via corporal punishment. And it's
26:41
Speaker 1: not necessarily corporal punishment, but with discipline, the parent has
26:46
Speaker 1: to do the work. You have to do the work.
26:49
Speaker 1: Everybody got to do the work, okay? Even spiritually, the
26:53
Speaker 1: work is done. The Most High already did the work
26:55
Speaker 1: by the law, statutes, precepts, and commands. He already put
26:57
Speaker 1: down everything, everything you need to do, the Ruach, all
27:00
Speaker 1: of that. He gives you all of that, and then
27:01
Speaker 1: he tells you what to do and what not to do.
27:04
Speaker 1: You already have all your resources. You did whatever. He
27:07
Speaker 1: implanted it in you through the Ruach. He already gave
27:11
Speaker 1: you the capacity to have the Ruach in you. He
27:15
Speaker 1: put the law, statutes, precepts, and commands down, so you
27:18
Speaker 1: have it, okay? You got everything. You fully equipped. Understand that.
27:25
Speaker 1: So that's what the parent has to do. Lay down
27:28
Speaker 1: the law, exercise the child, reinforce all of that. Same
27:32
Speaker 1: thing the Most High does. So everybody has to do
27:36
Speaker 1: the work and so does the child. And we as
27:38
Speaker 1: the children of Israel and the second plot, we got
27:40
Speaker 1: to do our jobs too. Not only in understanding, but
27:44
Speaker 1: in the choices and circumstances which we all need to
27:49
Speaker 1: build up our self-discipline And in the case of the
27:53
Speaker 1: child and the parent, that child's self-discipline, okay? Via reinforcement
28:00
Speaker 1: of the child, okay? To make sure that it's there
28:04
Speaker 1: and they don't deviate from it. Teach a child in
28:07
Speaker 1: the way that they should go. And when they grow up,
28:09
Speaker 1: they will not deviate from it. That is a loosely
28:12
Speaker 1: based scripture. Understand that, okay? So for many of us
28:18
Speaker 1: who need self-discipline, okay? How we choose to build our
28:25
Speaker 1: self-discipline is up to us and what we listen to
28:30
Speaker 1: and what we choose to follow. OK, now we'll discuss
28:38
Speaker 1: our own ability to have self-discipline or lack thereof. There
28:43
Speaker 1: are so many things that we need to learn when
28:45
Speaker 1: we grow up. And it's important for us to have
28:48
Speaker 1: a parent to provide this discipline, excuse me, to give
28:55
Speaker 1: us in our lives in a way that we should
28:58
Speaker 1: think and move, okay, in our lives. Proverbs 22 and
29:05
Speaker 1: six from the King James says, train a child up
29:07
Speaker 1: the way he should go. And when he is old,
29:09
Speaker 1: he will not depart from it. Okay. Just like the
29:13
Speaker 1: loose scripture I said a moment ago. It's important for
29:18
Speaker 1: us all to learn self-discipline. And if you belong to
29:25
Speaker 1: the most high, he will also teach you self-discipline. But
29:30
Speaker 1: you must remember that This behavior must be taught. Think
29:36
Speaker 1: of Job. He had to be taught And he was
29:41
Speaker 1: visited on several occasions by angels that prepared him to
29:47
Speaker 1: be able to spar with the devil. And we know
29:51
Speaker 1: this in the testament of Job. Not in the book
30:00
Speaker 1: of Job, the testament of Job, which provides more information
30:05
Speaker 1: and understanding. OK, so the Most High also taught discipline
30:09
Speaker 1: to the prophets as well as Jacob, whose real name
30:14
Speaker 1: is Yaakov, and Israel, the man, and the apostles and Abraham.
30:20
Speaker 1: All of this was taught by the Most High. The
30:22
Speaker 1: Most High taught them this. When he gave them information,
30:26
Speaker 1: he had to put them in a position to be
30:28
Speaker 1: able to receive and understand the information. They just couldn't
30:32
Speaker 1: be flesh bags. The Most High had to touch them,
30:36
Speaker 1: give them special sauce and all of that. And I'll
30:39
Speaker 1: just say special sauce, but the Most High had to
30:40
Speaker 1: prepare them spiritually, okay? To be able to receive the
30:45
Speaker 1: information and communicate it the way they did, okay? All
30:50
Speaker 1: of this was taught by the Most High. And this
30:52
Speaker 1: is important to know and understand because we too today
30:59
Speaker 1: need discipline in order to learn self-discipline. You need to
31:03
Speaker 1: learn discipline first in order to learn self-discipline. There are
31:09
Speaker 1: things in our lives that we need to do. And
31:11
Speaker 1: there are things in our lives that we need to
31:13
Speaker 1: do without. And we can distinguish this by building our self-discipline.
31:21
Speaker 1: There are building blocks that we need to have, like
31:26
Speaker 1: building self-discipline, okay? Build habits, plan tasks, set priorities, and
31:34
Speaker 1: allocate time for them. Building habits, which are automatic behaviors
31:41
Speaker 1: that require less effort and more practice so we can
31:50
Speaker 1: practice them consistently over time. The more you practice, the
31:54
Speaker 1: more you'll know. And it becomes an instinct or instinctual.
32:04
Speaker 1: The more you practice. Practice and self-care. That's self-discipline, which
32:10
Speaker 1: supports mental well-being and By decluttering your mind, your mental museum,
32:17
Speaker 1: your mind's eye of negative thoughts and fostering a sense
32:22
Speaker 1: of self-control by prioritization, focus, and resilience. I know that
32:29
Speaker 1: was a mouthful, but that's important to know. Okay, that's
32:33
Speaker 1: important in self-care because we got to take care of
32:35
Speaker 1: ourselves too. You don't take care of yourself. How are
32:38
Speaker 1: you taking care of anybody else, number one? And how
32:40
Speaker 1: are you maintaining yourself in any situation? Hello? Okay. We
32:48
Speaker 1: also have to cultivate self-discipline. Using strategies for lasting personal growth.
32:56
Speaker 1: Which is the ability to control impulses. Okay? Because what
33:01
Speaker 1: separates us from the animals? Conscious thought and self-control. Okay? Okay?
33:16
Speaker 1: So this is the ability to control impulses, stay focused
33:21
Speaker 1: on goals, whatever they may be, and persist through challenges,
33:26
Speaker 1: whatever they may be. Okay? It's just not about willpower.
33:32
Speaker 1: It's more about a system design, habits, strengths, and self-control
33:39
Speaker 1: within your environment. Okay? Okay? We must also delay gratification.
33:48
Speaker 1: So delayed gratification is a big part of self-control. Choosing
33:53
Speaker 1: long-term rewards over immediate temptations. And that also separates us
34:00
Speaker 1: from animals or beasts. Because the most high... Does cause
34:09
Speaker 1: certain nations beasts. Why? They have no self-control. They don't
34:14
Speaker 1: have nothing. They just like their father, the creature. Understand that, okay?
34:22
Speaker 1: They're not like the creator. They're the creature. We also
34:30
Speaker 1: have to have, and this is some, it's not limited
34:33
Speaker 1: to this, but this is some, some of it. Okay?
34:36
Speaker 1: Emotional regulation. Managing your impulses constructively in order to reduce
34:42
Speaker 1: mental stress and build resilience. Okay? You know what can
34:48
Speaker 1: help with that? Creating schedules. Writing down what you need
34:53
Speaker 1: to do, when you need to do it. Make yourself
34:58
Speaker 1: more disciplined. Okay? Self-control and self-discipline is needed because we
35:07
Speaker 1: live in a world full of desires and seduction. And
35:12
Speaker 1: that's spiritual as well as physical. And we are constantly
35:16
Speaker 1: being bombarded by instinctual desires making us beasts if we
35:22
Speaker 1: fall to those desires without thinking about the consequences and circumstances.
35:28
Speaker 1: I already told you about circumstances being spiritual. Okay? Do
35:33
Speaker 1: as I will. Does that sound familiar? This is occulted satire.
35:40
Speaker 1: It is wicked influence and the direct opposite of self-control,
35:46
Speaker 1: which is indulgence. Do whatever you want to. Just roll around, maybe. Okay?
35:54
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, in the 18th century, the
35:56
Speaker 1: Hellfire Club, this is just a little FYI, Okay. In
36:07
Speaker 1: the 18th century, the Hellfire Club adopted this as a motto. Okay.
36:12
Speaker 1: It was a bunch of heathens. They came together as
36:15
Speaker 1: a club and they adopted do whatever you want to
36:17
Speaker 1: or do as thy will as their motto. Often in
36:22
Speaker 1: a satire, in a satire role, or a libertine context,
36:28
Speaker 1: meaning keep saying it, keep saying it, and it becomes
36:32
Speaker 1: something of a motto or some words to live by, okay?
36:46
Speaker 1: Alexander Crawley, which I talked about before too, in regards
36:52
Speaker 1: to him being a Mason, uh, 66 or 33 degree,
36:56
Speaker 1: 66 or 33, I forgot, um, off the top of
37:00
Speaker 1: my head. And, um, what he did was quote unquote
37:04
Speaker 1: predict World War III and how it will come about.
37:10
Speaker 1: And it's actually unfurling the way he said it, but
37:13
Speaker 1: it's actually, um, more from the scriptures than from him. Okay. Um,
37:19
Speaker 1: and his occultic philosophy, um, interprets the pursuit of one's
37:28
Speaker 1: true will rather than a mere whim. Okay, meaning your
37:36
Speaker 1: true will is to be animalistic, is to be beastly,
37:40
Speaker 1: given to your desires, whatever you want, you can indulge in.
37:46
Speaker 1: Just because it's out here doesn't mean you should go
37:48
Speaker 1: and do it. And Solomon says that. Not the way
37:53
Speaker 1: I'm saying it. Solomon says that because he also did it.
37:57
Speaker 1: He also indulged in whatever he wanted to. And then
38:01
Speaker 1: it got to the point that he was seduced by wickedness,
38:05
Speaker 1: by all the holes that he had and every desire
38:09
Speaker 1: he ever wanted, he indulged in. Yeah. And come to
38:15
Speaker 1: find out that not only is there nothing new under
38:18
Speaker 1: the sun, but all this stuff is vanity, is nothing.
38:22
Speaker 1: And he says this in the scriptures, okay? Because he
38:26
Speaker 1: didn't have enough self-discipline to steer away from there and
38:33
Speaker 1: roll with the most high. So he threw all the
38:36
Speaker 1: most highs, everything, every piece of discipline, all his knowledge
38:40
Speaker 1: and wisdom that he had from the most high in
38:43
Speaker 1: the Ruach, because the Ruach is wisdom, that he dedicated
38:48
Speaker 1: books to. And he turned around and wanted everything in
38:51
Speaker 1: the world. And what did it cost him? Everything. It
38:56
Speaker 1: cost him everything. And he wrote books to let you
39:02
Speaker 1: know that. Okay? So we have to be careful. Not
39:13
Speaker 1: only do you have to teach your children discipline, you
39:17
Speaker 1: have to make sure that they exercise it. And when
39:20
Speaker 1: they exercise it and it becomes self-disciplined, then they can
39:23
Speaker 1: teach it to their children. And so on and so forth.
39:27
Speaker 1: But today, and what going into social science about what
39:36
Speaker 1: happened in the 80s and why people are the way
39:39
Speaker 1: they are and a couple of spiritual things happening in
39:43
Speaker 1: end times, being mistress women will give birth to monsters.
39:48
Speaker 1: Without me going into that, Because I could talk about
39:51
Speaker 1: that all day. I will say this. At a certain time,
39:54
Speaker 1: people wasn't teaching their children things. And that's by design
39:57
Speaker 1: because the devil corrupted physically and spiritually. I already told
40:02
Speaker 1: you there's a war being raged. And honey, the children
40:04
Speaker 1: of Israel, what do they have? Trouble. They are being humiliated.
40:13
Speaker 1: And without me going somewhere else, I'll just say in
40:16
Speaker 1: regards to self-discipline, we must be able to teach our
40:20
Speaker 1: children discipline. OK. Written within the scriptures, the devil is
40:25
Speaker 1: often portrayed as the embodiment of self-serving will opposed to
40:31
Speaker 1: the most as well. The phrase do thy will in
40:34
Speaker 1: the scriptures is. in regards to John 15 and 14,
40:40
Speaker 1: is used by Yahshua to describe disobedience, excuse me, to
40:43
Speaker 1: describe obedience. I don't know why I keep saying disobedience.
40:47
Speaker 1: To describe obedience to Yah's will, not the devil's will. However,
40:51
Speaker 1: the devil's own will is depicted as rooted in falsehood
40:58
Speaker 1: and opposed to the truth. Okay? The devil is opposed
41:04
Speaker 1: to the truth, who is the most high. He is
41:06
Speaker 1: the truth. The decision to do what you want without
41:11
Speaker 1: consequence is how many of us live. Many people, especially
41:18
Speaker 1: in the United States, I can only speak about the
41:20
Speaker 1: United States because that's where I live, but I see
41:22
Speaker 1: through world news that other people don't have self-control either.
41:26
Speaker 1: But since I will focus on the United States, many
41:30
Speaker 1: of us in the United States, us meaning you, because
41:34
Speaker 1: everybody slips and falls, but there's some people that roll
41:36
Speaker 1: around And being undisciplined. They just rolling it honey. I'm
41:41
Speaker 1: going to do my will. And unfortunately. Many of the.
41:49
Speaker 1: Major society. Okay. Starting with. The presidential cabinet. Are undisciplined.
42:10
Speaker 1: So like I said, the decision to do what you
42:12
Speaker 1: want without consequence is how many people live in the
42:16
Speaker 1: United States. I already told you. Spiritual Babylon, spiritual Sodom
42:22
Speaker 1: and Gomorrah, and spiritual Mitzrayim, aka Egypt. That's how the
42:29
Speaker 1: ruling society lives. Okay? I can do whatever I want,
42:34
Speaker 1: whenever I want, quote unquote. That sounds like those who
42:38
Speaker 1: lived in Sodom and Gomorrah. They did whatever they wanted
42:41
Speaker 1: back then. And the whole society was full of instinctual wickedness.
42:47
Speaker 1: No discipline. But it wasn't always that way. Nevertheless, when
42:52
Speaker 1: it started to go in that direction of wickedness and
42:55
Speaker 1: the lack of self-control, no one stopped it. They rolled
43:00
Speaker 1: with it, honey. It was encouraged from the mainstream society.
43:06
Speaker 1: And those who opposed it were ostracized or punished in
43:10
Speaker 1: some way, even sacrifice. Read about Solomon Gomorrah. It's like
43:20
Speaker 1: that today. We must learn to have self-discipline or self-control.
43:27
Speaker 1: This is a virtue, okay? And in a world of
43:32
Speaker 1: the vices that we take up or pick up that
43:35
Speaker 1: hurt us, That we fool ourselves into believing we okay
43:40
Speaker 1: to do. It creates problems within us and or outside
43:45
Speaker 1: of ourselves. They may hurt other people, okay? Yet we
43:50
Speaker 1: don't even address it. This is a problem for us
43:55
Speaker 1: spiritually and carnally, okay? Or materially. Simply because we can't
44:03
Speaker 1: afford to walk in the middle, especially you children of Israel.
44:07
Speaker 1: It's hazardous and potentially dangerous to walk in the middle, okay? Lastly,
44:14
Speaker 1: I want to tell you why discipline matters. By practicing discipline,
44:18
Speaker 1: we can build healthy habits, improve productivity in any area,
44:25
Speaker 1: and mental strain, okay? We can lessen mental strain. We
44:29
Speaker 1: can create a more fulfilled life balance in all areas, okay?
44:36
Speaker 1: especially children in Israel, the more we utilize self-control by discipline,
44:43
Speaker 1: it strengthens our self-esteem, okay? And reliability, reinforcing a positive
44:53
Speaker 1: self-image So you see, we all need to exercise self-control
44:58
Speaker 1: and learn how to teach it to our children so
45:01
Speaker 1: that they can have the proper self-control in order to
45:06
Speaker 1: appropriately deal with the world outside of themselves or outside
45:11
Speaker 1: of the micro system. Okay. Okay. This also gives them
45:23
Speaker 1: a great transition into the mezzo and macro system. Self-control.
45:28
Speaker 1: We need it. Okay? Now, I want to discuss some
45:32
Speaker 1: scriptures about discipline. It's not in any order. What is this?
45:41
Speaker 1: Hebrews 12 and 51. And you have forgotten the exhortation
45:47
Speaker 1: that addresses you as sons. My son, do not regard
45:51
Speaker 1: lightly the discipline of Adonai Yahuwah. Okay? Nor be weary
46:03
Speaker 1: when reproved by him. For Adonai disciplines the ones he
46:09
Speaker 1: loves and chases every son whom he receives. That's two flocks.
46:17
Speaker 1: He loves the children of Israel and whoever he received
46:20
Speaker 1: after that, which is in the second flop, he loves
46:23
Speaker 1: them too and chastises them. It is for discipline that
46:28
Speaker 1: you have to endure. The Most High is treating you
46:33
Speaker 1: as sons. For what son is there whom the father
46:38
Speaker 1: does not discipline? So if the father don't discipline you,
46:41
Speaker 1: you ain't his son. And we already know that. If
46:44
Speaker 1: you are left without discipline, which is all, which, excuse me,
46:53
Speaker 1: in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children
46:59
Speaker 1: and not sons, meaning you're bastards. If I don't discipline
47:03
Speaker 1: my kids, you're a bastard. The most high says in
47:05
Speaker 1: these scriptures, but I'm reading from the ESV, so naturally
47:09
Speaker 1: they ain't gonna say the original words. Besides this, we
47:12
Speaker 1: have an earthly father who disciplines us, or earthly fathers
47:16
Speaker 1: who discipline us, and we respect them. Shall we not
47:21
Speaker 1: much more subject to the Father's spirits and live? So
47:27
Speaker 1: basically in this ESV, because it's all going to be
47:30
Speaker 1: ESV now. It's basically saying you have to be disciplined
47:34
Speaker 1: by the Most High. And if you don't, then you're
47:36
Speaker 1: a bastard. For the two flocks, you will be disciplined.
47:39
Speaker 1: You're going to be disciplined, two flocks. You're going to
47:42
Speaker 1: be disciplined. That's just the way it is. Because the
47:44
Speaker 1: Most High knows you. The Most High made you. You
47:47
Speaker 1: was his before the foundation of the world. And damn
47:49
Speaker 1: if you ain't going to be disciplined. Yes, I did
47:51
Speaker 1: say damn if you ain't going to be disciplined. You
47:53
Speaker 1: will be disciplined by the Father who loves you. You
47:57
Speaker 1: need discipline or else you're going to go right where
48:00
Speaker 1: the heathens go. Matthew 22 and 39 from the ESV.
48:14
Speaker 1: And the second is like it. So let me set
48:17
Speaker 1: the stage for you. Yahshua was walking among people. And
48:25
Speaker 1: he was asking him about the laws and the commands.
48:33
Speaker 1: And one person asked him, which one is the most
48:36
Speaker 1: important command? So Yeshua, who was the most high in
48:41
Speaker 1: the flesh, told him about the first important one. Love
48:44
Speaker 1: the most high with all your heart, soul, and your mind.
48:48
Speaker 1: And the second command is just like the first command.
48:52
Speaker 1: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. So that's discipline.
48:56
Speaker 1: If you loved your neighbor as yourself, or if you
48:59
Speaker 1: love your neighbor like you love the most high, you
49:01
Speaker 1: wouldn't do anything harmful to them you would not do
49:07
Speaker 1: any sacrifices against them or to them you will not
49:11
Speaker 1: do anything that's self-control i don't care what they say
49:15
Speaker 1: i don't care what they do you wouldn't do none
49:16
Speaker 1: of that you will have the self-control to be able
49:19
Speaker 1: to love them and support them just like the Most
49:22
Speaker 1: High said or instilled in you. Okay? I'm going to
49:29
Speaker 1: tell you a big thing. Money makes people act like fools.
49:39
Speaker 1: And I'm going to get on that shortly. But I
49:42
Speaker 1: just wanted you to know that money make people act
49:44
Speaker 1: like fools, honey, especially in this day and age. And
49:47
Speaker 1: we already know that. Acts 20 and 35. Yes, we
49:53
Speaker 1: in all things. I have shown you that by working
49:57
Speaker 1: hard in this way, we must help the weak to
50:01
Speaker 1: remember the words of Yeshua, how he himself said. It
50:07
Speaker 1: is more blessed to give than to receive. That's a virtue.
50:11
Speaker 1: And it takes control to follow the virtues. Because a
50:16
Speaker 1: lot of people don't want to do what the virtues entail.
50:20
Speaker 1: They don't want to. They want to indulge themselves. They
50:22
Speaker 1: don't give a damn about nobody else. That's how it
50:25
Speaker 1: is in the United States. Okay? Especially to all those
50:29
Speaker 1: people who call themselves Christians and Christian nationalism. Everything is
50:34
Speaker 1: about them. Okay? Supremacy is about them. Which is the
50:42
Speaker 1: direct opposite of what the Most High says. Okay? Psalms
50:50
Speaker 1: 119 and 105, ESV. Your word is a lamp to
50:54
Speaker 1: my feet and a light to my path. Disciplined. What
50:59
Speaker 1: does the Most High present to the children of Israel?
51:02
Speaker 1: Not only in the Old Testament, he tells them to
51:04
Speaker 1: keep his Lord's statutes, precepts, and commands from the beginning
51:08
Speaker 1: to the end. People, why? Because that instills discipline. It
51:13
Speaker 1: ain't going to make you perfect, but we already know
51:15
Speaker 1: that the whole world has fallen short. So you stay
51:19
Speaker 1: within the confounds of those Lord's statutes, precepts, and commands.
51:22
Speaker 1: And this way, if you do mess up, then the
51:25
Speaker 1: Most High knows how to reprimand you. Got it? Colossians
51:36
Speaker 1: 4 and 12 from the ESV. Ephaphras, who is one
51:44
Speaker 1: of you, a servant of the Messiah Yahushua, greets you
51:50
Speaker 1: always struggling on your behalf in his prayers that you
51:53
Speaker 1: may stand mature and fully assured in all the will
52:02
Speaker 1: of the Most High. That's discipline. You have to. And
52:07
Speaker 1: I believe his name was Ephaphras. E-P-A-P-H-R-A-S. Just the FYI.
52:16
Speaker 1: I'm going to read this last one and then I'm
52:21
Speaker 1: going to wrap it up. 1 John 2 1 through 12.
52:31
Speaker 1: My little children, I am writing these things to you
52:33
Speaker 1: so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin,
52:38
Speaker 1: we have an advocate with the Father. Yahshua HaMashiach, the righteous.
52:46
Speaker 1: He is the propitiation for our sins. And not for
52:57
Speaker 1: us only, but also for the sins of the world. Now,
53:06
Speaker 1: remember who John is talking to. Remember who John is
53:11
Speaker 1: talking to, okay? Okay, you have to take that in context.
53:15
Speaker 1: Children of Israel and second flower. And by this, we
53:18
Speaker 1: know that we have come to know him. If we
53:21
Speaker 1: keep his commandments, why should we keep his commandments? Because
53:25
Speaker 1: that's the discipline. Whoever says, I know the most high,
53:30
Speaker 1: but doesn't keep his commandments is a liar. And the
53:34
Speaker 1: truth is not in him. But whoever keeps his word,
53:38
Speaker 1: by his law, statutes, precepts, and commands, in him truly,
53:42
Speaker 1: the love of the most high is perfected. By this,
53:46
Speaker 1: we know that we are in him. That's important to know. Why?
53:51
Speaker 1: Because that's discipline. That's the start of discipline. The reinforcement
53:57
Speaker 1: of the laws, whatever laws you set down for your child,
54:01
Speaker 1: the reinforcement of it. And that's how we know we
54:05
Speaker 1: won't deviate from it once it is instilled in us
54:10
Speaker 1: and we continue to practice it. That's how important it is.
54:14
Speaker 1: We have to be able to instill discipline in our children,
54:19
Speaker 1: whatever it means to you. Like I said, there's a
54:21
Speaker 1: fine line. Well, it's not a fine line, but there's
54:23
Speaker 1: a line between discipline and corporal punishment. It is. And
54:28
Speaker 1: by law, you are able to physically, well, physically discipline
54:33
Speaker 1: your child. By law, you are, okay? I know in
54:36
Speaker 1: New York State, you are. But it's a line between
54:42
Speaker 1: corporal punishment and abuse. So corporal punishment, yes, you can
54:47
Speaker 1: utilize corporal punishment, but not abuse. So like I said,
54:52
Speaker 1: discipline is very important for all of us. And without discipline,
54:56
Speaker 1: we have chaos. And nobody wants that. We have that now.
55:03
Speaker 1: And you see what's going on now without self-control and self-discipline.
55:10
Speaker 1: So I hope that this small lesson edified you, and
55:15
Speaker 1: gave you information and education on what discipline actually is.
