  Speaker 1: winners with a z.org those are the two go-tos that
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: i recommend highly to get all these social media streets
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: because there's too much distractions on these social media streets
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: when you're trying to get into the word of god
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: right so um trying to really help us out to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: get to places where there's less distractions We switched up now.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We're in a different book. And after I quickly prayed
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and asked God for direction, you could always put your
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: input where you want to go next. But I feel
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, I felt that he directed me to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the book of Hebrews. So we're going to be in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the book of Hebrews a little bit, starting from chapter 1,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: verses 1 and 2. And I'm calling this one, Jesus
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: is Supreme. And I know that's going to ruffle a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: lot of feathers today. A lot of people and different
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: points of views about the Lord Jesus say he is
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: not God. He's just a man, a prophet, a teacher,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a rabbi, a messenger, right? That's popular. But we're going
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to see in the scriptures that he is way more
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: than just a prophet or messenger. Amen? He's way more
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: than that. Jesus is supreme according to Hebrews chapter 1
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: verses 1 and 2. We're going to see that. If
• 1:26

  Speaker 1: we have the perfect way to communicate with one another.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: We have a perfect platform when Jesus, His Holy Spirit,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: is involved. Everything becomes perfect because He is in the building. Amen.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: It has really nothing to do with me except for
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: my availability and my yes. And you can do the same.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Just be available for the Lord and tell Him yes.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that you will be available. So let's pray. You can
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: share this out to as many people as possible. We'll pray.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And after we pray, we'll get into today's scripture. Hebrews
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: chapter one, verses one and two. Father, I thank you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that you have revealed yourself to us. Thank you, Lord God,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: for your ultimate sacrifice. Thank you, Lord God, for choosing
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: us before we chose you. Thank you for loving us
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: before we could love you. Thank you, Lord God, for
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: your amazing grace. for speaking through your son during these
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: last days. Thank you, Lord God, that you could help
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: us recognize your voice above every other voice that's speaking
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to us right now. And Lord God, thank you, Lord God,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: for just giving us the wisdom to trust in you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: because that is a gift to follow you, to trust you,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to put our faith in you and put us in
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a place where we could put you first in every
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: area of our life. So may you always be supreme
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in my life. And for those who are listening and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: watching who say yes to you, that you would be
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the supreme one in our lives and that no other
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: voice or no other path we will get on or
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: follow because we know that we're on a righteous path
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that leads to eternal life. So I pray a hedge
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of protection right now over every single person, including myself,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: my family, our children, our grandchildren, my whole entire bloodline.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' holy name, I pray that over every single listener, family,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: every single person that's listening and watching, their families as well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that Lord God, you will do a great work in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: their hearts and minds and set forth your arcane angels
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to annihilate the tactics and plans of the enemy over
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: all of us. In Jesus' holy name, I pray this
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: by faith to the Supreme One, Jesus the Christ. In
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Jesus' holy name, we pray this by faith. Amen to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the amen. So let's go for it. Let's get into
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: these scriptures. Amen. I love it. Wake up and win
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: with these scriptures because God is doing amazing works through
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: his word. He's faithful to his own word and therefore
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: he's faithful to us. Amen. Brother John, I see you.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Time to get to the truth of the word of God. Yes.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The truth of the word of God. Amen. Thank you
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: for coming through. Thank you for your comment. Let's get
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: into it. God spoke to his people through our history, right?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Through the prophets, right? You see that in the Old Covenant.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Giving them His truth, His truth, not a truth that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: was discovered, is the Lord's truth in many different ways.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: But in these last days, praise God that He speaks
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to us now, right? God has spoken to us through
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: His Son. And who is the Son? Jesus the Christ. Amen?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And then if you read, continue reading, You'll notice that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: everything was created through the Lord Jesus. But I just
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: put this on for a taste of what Hebrews chapter
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: 1 is all about. God spoke to his people throughout
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: history through the prophets. Now in these last days, right,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: God has spoken to us through his son, Jesus the Christ.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Jesus is the finality, right? He's the final God. King
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of kings and Lord of lords. He is the final
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: word of God. He is the completion of Yahweh, Jehovah, right?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Jesus is supreme. I know a lot of people are
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: going to say, no, he's only this and he's only that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: But whatever reason, the spirit of man and the spirit
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of the Antichrist, the spirit of religion, right? Of course,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the enemy tries to make people think that Jesus is
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: less than God when he is co-equal with the father.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus is the Son. He's not the Father. The Father
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: is not the Son. The Holy Spirit is not Jesus.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit is not the Father. Right? We have
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the triune God that's going on here. Ask me to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: explain it. I can't explain it. I don't need to.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: God is God, and he's God by himself, but he
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: revealed himself. Amen to us. So that way we could
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: have a glimpse of his glory, have a glimpse of
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: his triunity. Amen? Do we completely understand that? At least me,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I don't completely understand that. I just completely believe it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: because he showed us through the scriptures that that's who
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: he is, right? Jesus is supreme because he's not simply
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: another messenger from God, right? He's not just a prophet,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: not just a good man, a good rabbi, a good teacher.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: He is the son through whom God has spoken to us, right?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: God used the Lord Jesus because he is the God man,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: 100% God, 100% man, hypostatic union, I think it's called.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to be smart here, right? Don't quote that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: But everything points to him, right? The Old Testament prophecies,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: even Genesis declares someone to come that's going to crush
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the serpent on his head. Everything belongs to him. So
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: everything points to the Lord. Everything belongs to Jesus. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: through him, God himself has revealed his greatest Message of love, grace,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and salvation. Jesus, the salvation of Yahweh. Amen. He satisfied
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the sin debt. He's the perfect one. Amen. He completed
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: all the commandments. No one, not me, not you, not
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: anybody we know, has 100% completed the commandments perfectly. None
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: other than the Lord Jesus Christ has done that. The
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: world offers... A lot of voices. Talking heads like me, voice, radio, film, movies, documentaries, religious, television, programming.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So many voices, right? The world offers a lot of voices,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: but when you want to know who God is and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: what God is speaking, what his desires are for your
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: life personally, go ahead and look for Jesus. God spoke
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to His people throughout history, and he's still speaking to us,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: but throughout history, he spoke to the prophets. You see
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: how that went, right? Prophets were mocked, scorned, killed, exiled,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you know, made fun of. But now in these last
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: days that we're living in now, every day that I'm
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: alive is closer to my last day. What about you?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So these are the last days for us personally. But
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: in these days, God has spoken to us through us.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: his son, the Lord Jesus Christ, making him the key
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to the scriptures. Amen? Prophecies pointing at Jesus, right? Commandments
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: only fulfilled completely 100% perfect by the Lord Jesus. Sinless Jesus. Truth, way, life, Jesus. Salvation, Jesus.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: He is greater, greater than every prophet Let me say
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that again. The Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the one
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: born from a virgin, right? That means he has no
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: sin blood. through Joseph. He was born from the Holy Spirit,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: born from a virgin, lived a sinless life, right? Took
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the penalty of sin upon himself on that cross, died
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: for it, and then three days later rose again, proving
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that he is supreme. over life, death, Hades, hell, defeated
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the devil. Amen. He is who the scriptures point to.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Greater than any earthly authority here. Greater than the president,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: kings of the nations, other religious leaders. Greater. And greater
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: than anything that this world can ever offer. Ever. Like,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: this is not like, oh yeah, he's good. But the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: world offers this something better. No, the world system paints
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: sin as something better. But if you're awake and you're alive,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and if you're moving correctly in the scriptures, through the scriptures,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: by way of Holy Spirit, you know that's false. The
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: world cannot offer anything better than what the scriptures offer
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and who reveals himself in the scriptures. And that's the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is supreme, right? He is the message.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And like I say in my prayers, he is the amen.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus is the amen. Jesus perfectly agrees with the scriptures
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: because the scriptures are pointing to him. Jesus is the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: living word of God because when he spoke the word,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: he revealed revelation. He revealed his power, his majesty, his authority,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: his glory. He was the one who could forgive sin.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And remember those situations where Jesus forgave people of their
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: sin and religious people, the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the scribes
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: were like, wait, how are you forgiving sin? Listen to this.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Only God can forgive sins. That's the point. That's why
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: he was going about showing people that he had the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: authority to forgive us of our sins. This is before
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: he went to the cross. before he ascended back to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the throne of God, the right hand. So we are dealing,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: if you choose to, amen, not with a messenger, like
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: our Islamic friends say, just a messenger, but more than
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a messenger, he is the word of God, right? In
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. In
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that beginning, Because God is eternal, has no beginning, no end.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And that place, he was there. He was present. Scriptures
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: are riddled with that truth. Colossians, Hebrews, right? Just name
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a couple of books. Revelation. Jesus gets to worship. So
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: when I asked my Jehovah Witness friends, who alone gets
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to worship? And they would say Jehovah. And I said,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that's it? And if God is the one that gets
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to worship, then... You're satisfied? And they were like, yes,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Jehovah is the only one that gets. And then you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: take them to Revelation, I think 1, 8, verse 8,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: around there. And then you tell them, who's speaking here?
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning from man.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And they're stuck because they said, well, if that's Jesus,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: then Jesus is saying that he's Jehovah, Alpha and Omega.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And if it's not Jesus, then it's just Jehovah. Then
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: who's Jehovah speaking to and through? And who is he revealing?
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It's a trap. Why don't we just humble ourselves, right?
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: And read the scriptures and be like, well, this says
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: clearly that Jesus is God. This says clearly that he
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: is supreme over every prophet, every worldly authority, every kingdom,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: that Jesus is supreme. How much more do you think
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: that Jesus has to do? Which he has to do
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: nothing more. How much more would you think he would
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: have to do after he conquered sin and death? What
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: else is there to prove? What else is there when
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: he starts completing prophecy on the cross? When he quoted
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the book of Isaiah on the cross? What else does
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: he have to do? What else does he have to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: do when the prophecies are pinpoint about the Lord Jesus Christ?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: When he spoke from the temple, right? He was anointed.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: when he opened the scroll and read the prophet, right,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: that he would go to the poor, I'm paraphrasing. You
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: got to see it for yourself. Or, this is another question,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: how many prophecies do we need for him to fulfill, right,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: personally in his life for us to believe who he is?
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: One prophecy? A hundred prophecies? Well, I heard through theologians
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that there are Over 100 prophecies fulfilled, right? When Jesus
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: stepped on the scene. Like how many prophecies will it
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: have to take? I don't think the issue is the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: information that we have in the scriptures to prove who
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Jesus is. I think it's a heart condition. I think
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: people's heart don't want to receive the Lord Jesus Christ
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: as Lord, Savior, King, right? For whatever reason. And I
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: was one of those people. I didn't want to change anything.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I was already going in a direction I felt. I
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: was living in my feelings before the Lord Jesus filled
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: me with faith. You can't live on feelings. You have
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to have faith and be filled with Holy Spirit God
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to lead you into all truth, right? But before Christ,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I was all about my feelings. I don't feel like
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: investigating the claims of the Lord Jesus. I don't feel
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: like going to church. I don't feel like listening to
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: these people that call themselves Christians. I don't feel like
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: that that sacrifice was for me. I don't feel like changing.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And if I could change, I'll change myself. That's the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: attitude I had. You probably know people like that right now.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I know people like that right now. That's why we
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: got to pray, stand on position, stand on the ground
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that the Lord has given us and keep on preaching
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the gospel. There's no turning back, no retreat, no surrender now. Amen.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: We're in a spiritual war. We are on the winning team.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: We are on the winning team. The kingdom of God,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: we win. Amen. And there's no other authority that could
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: really take us out. Now, things could happen and things
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: will happen to me, to you, because of our faith
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: in the Lord Jesus Christ. But the final say, the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: ultimate outcome belongs to the Lord. Why? Because he's supreme.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: God's speaking to us right now in these last days
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: through his son by way of his Holy Spirit. We
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: can't jump over the Lord Jesus Christ to get this revelation.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: You can't have another spirit and calling it the Spirit
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: of God to get this revelation. Amen. But God has
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: revealed himself to me, to you, to those who are
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: willing to hear and listen. He will open your eyes.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: He will open your ears. He will open your heart.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: He will open your mouth to speak because we're going
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to testify of his greatness, his goodness, his supremacy. And
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus is supreme according to the scriptures. We don't have
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: to debate that. I'll leave the debaters to the debaters. Amen.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: And I follow some good debaters. Amen. Some Christian apologetic people.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that know how to defend the faith, know how to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: consent for the faith. Amen. I'll leave those platforms alone.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I used to be one of those in those platforms
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: in apologetics earlier in the ministry. Amen. And debated a
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: lot of people in person and online. But to me,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: it was kind of fruitless, at least in my personal
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: humble opinion, it was fruitless because those people were set
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: on arguments. They were set on just picking and choosing
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: scripture and And they were not honest with the scripture.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: And then it had a whole group behind them. And
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it seemed like I was losing the debate because they
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: had a whole bunch of people backing them up and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: putting comments in the chat. And I'm like, okay, this is,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: if you win by the majority of followers, then I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: guess you win. But there's only one way, one truth,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: one life. And that's found through the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Continuously going back to the Lord and his word. They
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: don't like that, right? How could you use the scripture
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to prove the scriptures? just the way you go to court,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and they use the book of the law to prove
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: their case. I mean, why are we so afraid of
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: using the source that we believe in, the scriptures, to
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: present who Jesus is, right? Remember, the Bible is not
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: only prophetic, it's historical. There's history in the scriptures, there's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: accurate accounts, there's places, times, people that are verified, amen?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Not all of the scriptures will be verified. You're not
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: going to find Sodom and Gomorrah anymore because God, according
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: to scriptures, wiped Sodom and Gomorrah off the earth. There's
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: people that say that they found Noah's Ark, praise the Lord.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And there's evidence that there was a flood on the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: earth because of the mountains and the Grand Canyon, all
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: that stuff. So God is leaving us evidence, whatever he
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: wants to leave us. But there's evidence in scriptures, evidence
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: in archaeology, evidence in science, evidence Evidence in people's lives
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and testimonies, evidence by the power of God, the creation
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: of God. You ever looked in the sky and like, wow,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: this is beautiful. Who made that? Well, our Darwinistic friends.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: will be like, it's random chance. All those colors and
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: that beauty and that majestic skyline, that was all random
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: by chance. Molecules put together, elements put together and presto. Well, nah,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: we believe in a creator God over here. In the beginning,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: God created the heavens and earth. We don't believe in randomness.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: You and I weren't placed on this earth because of randomness. No,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: there's a purpose of why you were placed on this earth,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: why I was placed on this earth, and it points
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: back to the supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ. It
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: points to the supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ. Had
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it not been for the Lord and what he did,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: his ultimate sacrifice, I would not be sitting here. You
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be here either. We would just be like a
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: blob of molecules, just aimless, without any purpose, without a clue,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: without hope of any eternal life. We'll still be sitting
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: down in our sin, dying in our sin without hope. No.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: God spoke through the prophets historically. You could see it
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: in the old covenant. You don't have to be like,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: how do you know God spoke through the prophets? It's
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: written through all the prophecies. in the old covenant and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that saved the Lord, right? Spoke through these people. And
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: did those prophecies come to pass? Absolutely. I think we're
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: only waiting for one prophecy left or a couple. I
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: could be wrong. But the most important one is Jesus
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: said he's coming back. Prophetically, he said that. It's a promise,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: a prophetic promise. Go ahead and see what that means.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And he is coming back, right? Why would Jesus fail
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: us now when he never failed us before? Why would
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Jesus lie when he never lied before? Amen. He's supreme other.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: He's supreme man. God. Amen. In the flesh, revealing himself.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: The perfect reflection of Yahweh is Jesus. So if you
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: want to know about God the Father, you're going to
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: have to know about God the Son. As a matter
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: of fact, in scripture, God the Father praises the Son
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and calls the Son God. I think it's in the
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: book of Proverbs. But listen, Hebrews is the book we're
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: going to be in. Amen. For the remainder of the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: time that God allows me to have. Amen. And we're
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: going to get through it. I thank God for his leading, right,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: of his spirit. There are a lot of things going
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: on in personal life. Amen. But those things are secondary
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the supreme being, the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Put him first. Then everything else will fall into line.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Whatever is happening outside of that, it's really not out
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of my control anyway. I can control what I decide
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: to do concerning the Lord Jesus. what am I going
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: to do about the Lord Jesus? What are you going
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to do about the Lord Jesus? So I put a
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: prayer online, really thanking God for speaking through his son,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: thanking the father for speaking to us through his son, Jesus, right?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: And that way it helps us recognize the voice of
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the Lord and a stranger's voice. When we hear it,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: we won't follow. It's a lot competing right now for
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: our attention. Haven't you noticed the ads and the videos
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and the, Well, now we have to call them video clips, shorts, right?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: And all this stuff on social media trying to grab
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: our attention. I even see videos, which is good because
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: they're worship singers. They say, stop, don't scroll. That's how
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: they start their video. Stop, don't scroll. They're trying to
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: stop us from the death scroll, the doom scroll, right?
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: To listen to some worship, which is cool. I like that.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: But then there's millions of other users on the platforms
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that they're on trying to get our attention as well.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: And they ain't worshiping the Lord. I tell you right now. Amen.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: So last year or this year, in the beginning of
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the spring, it took me, I think, six hours to
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: unfollow and delete and to, there's another, unfollow, delete, and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: not interested. You can press those buttons through your social media.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: So you'll stop, you'll get less junk. The junk has
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: decreased tremendously on my feed. Amen. Amen. where there's still
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: junk that pops up every now and then, just press
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: not interested or unfollow the person. Because for some reason,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: we have auto-follows now on social media. If you like something,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: now you're following that person. Nah, we're not doing that.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Stay focused on the main thing and the main one.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Jesus is more than a messenger, right? Supreme over every prophet. Amen?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: He has authority over every earthly authority. It might not
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: seem like it now because the world system, and you
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: can prove it through scripture, is not being run by
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ. The world system is being run
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: by the devil and his cohorts and his demons, fallen angels.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: They're running the show, but they don't get the final word.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: That's why the world system and the kingdom of God,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: those systems are opposed. The kingdom of God walks in light, truth, freedom, love, mercy, grace, salvation.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: The kingdom of this world is in darkness, no hope,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: no salvation, no true God, right? So we could see
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the opposing ideologies, right? We could see it. It's plain.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: So although I have friends in the world system, right,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to leave them there, trying to see
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: if they'll listen to the gospel, amen, and get up
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: out of there, just like I got up out of
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: there because of the grace of God, just how you
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: got up out of there by the grace of God, right?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Don't know about someone that's stuck in darkness and you
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: know them personally and they could give you a hearing.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: You could call them, text them, and they will respond.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Give it a shot. Eternity is at hand for them
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and their lives and for us and our lives. So
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: if you truly follow, if you truly believe, if you
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: truly believe that Jesus is supreme, he's Yahweh, the word
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: of God, right? He is the last revelation to us
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: He is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: He's the one who's bringing a new heaven and a
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: new earth. Amen. He's the one who's going to be
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the ultimate judge of this world. Really believe that and
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: you follow the Lord. Amen. Go ahead and tell somebody
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: else about it. The outcome belongs to the Lord. People
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: are going to reject or receive. Sometimes they might even
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: cut us off at that point. Man, I haven't heard
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: from you in 30 years and now you're going to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: tell me about your religion? Because people automatically say this
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: is a religion or they call it a church thing.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: That's my favorite. That's what makes me laugh. Hey, Sam,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: you still doing that church thing? Whatever that means. Amen.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: You know, and we have to respect people's POVs, point
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: of views, right? Because, you know, they're without sight spiritually,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: but we could go ahead and help them and introduce
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: them to the Supreme One, the Lord Jesus Christ, through
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the Word and through our deeds and actions. And let
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: them see our imperfections. And I would like, yeah, Sam
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: ain't perfect, but, you know, he follows God and, you know,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I want to see who this God is. Investigate the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: claims of the Lord Jesus for yourself. So I'm out
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: of time. Thank you so much for hanging out with me, man.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And hopefully I did this verse some justice. I'm just
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: relying on the Holy Spirit here to get me through it.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Because there's a lot of thoughts coming through my mind.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: But I was like, let me hone that down. We're
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: going to be in the book of Hebrews. We will
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: hit up verses 1 and 2. I suggest you read
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: the whole chapter for yourself to make sure I was
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: in context. But anyway, I'm out of here. God bless
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you all. God keep you all. And remember always that
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: God is good. Peace.
