• 0:01
  Speaker 1: All right, coming to you live from Alta, Monte Springs, Florida.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: This is the Ember show, your host Ember. First and foremost,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: let's get into prayer, Lord Father that arts in heaven.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: mic and be able to go through the listener's ears
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and be able to reach their hearts and minds and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: be able to apply these verses to their lives and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ's name. I pray a men. And
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: we are still on Matthew chapter nineteen. Jesus teaches that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: husbands and wives must stay together. This resonated with me
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: so much. And if you did not listen to the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: episode and you're listening to this one first, I highly
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: encourage you to stop where you're at, go back and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: listen to Matthew chapter nineteen, verses one through fifteen, because
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: this one is going to be Matthew chapter nineteen versus
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: sixteen through wherever we get to and this is going
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to be titled A rich young Man comes to Jesus.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I highly encourage you to grab your Bible or get
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: on your Bible app and read along as you hear
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: along in this episode, because that'll be a great source
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of being able to soak in the word and not
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: also and also not be distracted. And if you just
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: want to listen, I highly encourage that you really listen.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: You don't have to sit there and close your eyes
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and hold your hands, but just really pay attention, listen,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: don't just hear the verses. And I say that respectfully
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: because I want you to really be able to apply
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: these verses to your lives. Okay, So a rich young
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: man comes to Jesus. Matthew, chapter nineteen, verse sixteen. One
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: day a man came to Jesus. He asked Jesus, teacher,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: what good thing must I do so that I can
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: live with God forever? Verse seventeen states Jesus replied, why
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: do you ask me about a good thing? Only God
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: is good? And that's one sentence in verse seventeen. The
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: next sentence nobody else, nobody. If you want to have
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: true life, you must obey God's commands. Verse eighteen. The
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: man asked Jesus which commands? Which commands must I obey?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Jesus replied, do not kill anyone, Do not have sex
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: with anyone who is not true wife, Do not rob anyone,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Do not say things that are not true about people.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Verse nineteen. Love your father and your mother and obey them.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Love other people as much as you love yourself. And
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I love this part right here verse nineteen because it's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it's something when we're talking about the father and the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: mother obeying them, you know, as an adolescent, right in
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a young it's probably best that you listen to your parents, right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've all kind of gone through it. You know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: some different stories, of course, But I want to make
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: this clear that you cannot love other people if you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: do not love yourself. A lot of people struggle with
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: this because they do not have the connection with God.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: They don't even know what love is. How can you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: love other people if you don't even love God, if
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you don't even love Jesus, if you don't even love
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. It's a different kind of love. We
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: throw around love like we like, we like, we are entitled.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: We're the one that it's our love, nobody else's right.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I'm getting deep on this. I'm get deep. I'm breaking
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: it down for you. We already know the consequences. When
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you kill somebody, you're gonna be going to prison. And
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: if you have sex with another man's wife, you might
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: die if he finds out. If you rob somebody again,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you can go to jail or prison. Do not say
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: things that are not true about people, gossip right, trying
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to talk down upon people, giving people perspectives of somebody else, right,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that's gonna backfire. That's gonna backfire. And if you have
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: done that, you need to repent. You need to ask
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: for forgiveness and stop doing it. Let's just be real.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Come on now, verse twenty. The young man replied, I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: have always obeyed these laws. What else must I do?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: In Verse twenty one states Jesus said to him, if
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you want to be completely good, then you must do this.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: You must sell everything that you have then give the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: money to poor people. If you do that, you will
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: have many valuable things in heaven. Then come back and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: be my disciple. See you think that when you're giving
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: all these things away, like Jesus is asking a lot, right,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But if you look towards the end, then come back
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and be my disciple. If you have read the Bible.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: If you have it, I'm gonna break something down for you.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Here God was able to bless others through Jesus. Jesus
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: was able to multiply five loaves of bread and two fish.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So what I'm really trying to get through to you,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the listener on this to understand is that being Jesus's disciple,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: being connected to God, being connected to the Holy Spirit
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: is not probably what you think it is. It's not
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: all about going to church. It's not all about just
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: boring stuff. Okay, Like I'm taking from somebody that has
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: actually walked the walk. It has been so refreshing to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: be a disciple of Jesus Christ, seeing the lives change,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: hearing the testimonies, seeing people that were once lost now
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: found being christ Like, putting that consciousness on glorifying God
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: here on heaven. So when we do pass from this life,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: we will be glorified with God, new bodies, angel wings
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that you would you can't even imagine. And that's a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: siren right there that might be yours. That might be
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: your warning. You know, if you're not a disciple of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. I'm not here to shun you. I'm not
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: here to stone you. I'm just the messenger. Don't don't
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: don't shoot the messenger. I have been in your shoes,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: not necessarily the things you've been through. But I have
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: once was not a believer. Then I was a believer
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: for twenty years. Then after going through about a year
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and a half, two years of recovery, I'm now six
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: months following Jesus. It's not about me anymore. It's not
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: all about my brother anymore. It's not all about my
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: mother anymore. It's not all about my significant other anymore.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It's all about God. Because I know that people, places,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and things have all of them have let me down
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: one way or another. They let me down, and I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: put my trust too much trust in people, whether it
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: be family, friends, relationships, things. We're talking about material things
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and places that I was loyal to, the bars, the clubs,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: at the people's party. So, I mean, the list goes on,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you know. But when I've been connected with God in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this way, He's never let me down. Even when I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: was a believer, I was being dragged, I was being
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: carried out of certain places sometimes as well. I have testimony.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I have a few stories, and one in particular, I
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: don't know how I got home, but now I do.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I have known for a while that I do. But
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: let me really, let me get into this a little
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: deeper Verse twenty two. When the young man heard this,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: he went away. He was very upset. He was feeling
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: sad because he was a very rich man. And Jesus
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: said to his disciples, here we go. We're going deep.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: What I say is true. It is very difficult for
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: rich people to let God rule in their lives. The
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: hole in a needle is very small. A camel cannot
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: go through it. But I tell you it is even
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: more difficult for a rich person to let God rule
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: in their lives. Now, this is also not just necessarily
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: about money. You can be rich in ignorance, you can
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: be rich in arrogance, you can be rich in attitude, anger.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: We're not just talking about money here, people. I want
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to make that clear. Any rich person, greedy person, it's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: going to be very hard to get into heaven. Now.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that there are rich people that don't
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: have the relationship with Jesus Christ. And they do a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: lot of great things for whether it be their people
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and you know, putting other people on and helping them grow.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a difference. You know, it's money is
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: not the root of all evil. It's the love of
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: money is the root of all evil. If you love
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: money more than you love God, you're chasing the money,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you're chasing the material things. You're chasing seeing the lifestyle,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you're chasing the relationship right, and you're not putting that
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: same effort into God. It's all gonna crumble one day
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: or one day, it's all gonna crumble sooner than later.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Hopefully you realize that. Hopefully you realize that we got
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: some more time. So we're gonna probably get to verse
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: twenty five and we'll go to Matthew chapter twenty next
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: episode tomorrow. So let's get into it, because Jesus is
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: saying some things. Actually we're all in verse twenty five.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: When the disciples heard this, they were even more surprised.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: They said, so, perhaps God will not save anyone. Jesus
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: looked at them and he replied, for people, it really
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: is impossible, but God can do it. God can do everything.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Where we had on time I were good. I want
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: to keep going to about thirty if I can so.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Verse twenty seven Matthew chapter nineteen stains. Peter said to Jesus, look,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: we have left everything to become your disciples. What will
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: we receive because we have done this. Verse twenty eight.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Jesus said to his disciples, I tell you this. One
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: day God will cause all things to become new. I,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the son of Man, will sit on my great throne
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: as king, and I will rule that new world. You,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: who are my disciples, will also sit like kings on thrones.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: You will judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Some people have left their homes because of me. Or
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: they may have left their brothers or sisters. Or they
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: may have left their mother or their father, or they
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: may have left their wife or their children, or their fields.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: They have done that because because of me. God will
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: give those people many more things they than they have
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: left behind, even one hundred times more. And after they die,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: they will live forever with God Verse thirty. And this
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: is how we're gonna close it out. But many people
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: who are very important now will become the least important,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and many people who are not important now will become
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: very important. Then whose ever last will be first, whose
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: ever first will be last? The tables turned There is
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a reason. Yeah, Jesus was not all nice the whole time.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Is in his ministry he was turning tables and when
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I mean turning tables, he was really flipping them because
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Jesus had the authority. Jesus is the prime example of
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: what to be like the closest thing to God. And
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: we're gonna close out with that. I got two minutes,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and I want to highly encourage you to do your research,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: read the Bible yourself, get into prayer with Jesus Christ.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: That's the only how you're gonna connect to God. Because
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: with God, and we're talking to the Almighty, we're not
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: saying he, she, it is a, it, it is all.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: We just don't we can't even put it in toowards right.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: We all fall short of God's standards. That's why we
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: need to be connected to Jesus. That's why we need
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to have the Holy Spirit live in us, not just
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: oh when we go to church we get a little
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: bit of the Holy Spirit and then we just leave it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: No or we just we just we just give our
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: money and no time, no energy, no efforts into glorifying God.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I can go on and on and on about this,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to condemn you. I want to
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: give you an invitation right to be able to accept
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and start on
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the journey believe and then become a follower. But that
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: is something that I have encountered. So I want you
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to be able to live a life that goes beyond
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: your understanding. And in order to do that, you have
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to be connected to Jesus. It's as simple as that.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: If you don't accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I know how it feels to live like that. It's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: better on this side. This is the Ember, soho your
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: host Ember. Thank you for pressing play and come back
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: next episode.
