- 0:01Speaker 1: Hal Rod come into you live from Aunt to Monte Springs, Florida.
- 0:04Speaker 1: This is the Ember show, your host's Ember. First and foremost,
- 0:07Speaker 1: let's get into prayer, Lord Father, that art's in heaven.
- 0:10Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
- 0:11Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this
- 0:13Speaker 1: mic and go through the listener's ears and be able
- 0:15Speaker 1: to reach their hearts and minds and be able to
- 0:17Speaker 1: apply these.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Verses to their lives.
- 0:20Speaker 1: In the Lord Jesus Christ's name, I pray a men,
- 0:24Speaker 1: And this is the first take. I also wanna make
- 0:26Speaker 1: it clear that I do not rehearse any of these episodes.
- 0:29Speaker 1: They're not scripted. That's where I learn from it. I
- 0:34Speaker 1: allow the Holy Spirit to be able to really flow,
- 0:37Speaker 1: and it's.
- 0:38Speaker 2: A beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing what God is
- 0:41Speaker 2: doing in my life.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Uh As I follow His Son Jesus and allow the
- 0:45Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. And so we're gonna be a Matthew chapter
- 0:48Speaker 1: twenty seven to night, covering the first one through fifteen verses.
- 0:53Speaker 2: And something's on my heart right now.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I wasn't able to do a podcast episode yesterday. I've
- 1:01Speaker 1: been very consistent with doing it every day, but it's
- 1:06Speaker 1: like the balance. Finding that balance, not overdoing anything. As
- 1:12Speaker 1: a recovering alcoholic and a recovering drug addict.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Recovering self will driven person.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Being on the other side of the fence and really
- 1:23Speaker 1: doing God's will has been a thrill more than the
- 1:29Speaker 1: twenty years that I put in in my drinking career.
- 1:32Speaker 1: I was a party animal. So I want you to
- 1:35Speaker 1: realize that because God can use any one.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Amen.
- 1:40Speaker 1: So I've given you enough time to grab your Bibles
- 1:44Speaker 1: and get on your Bible app If you don't, that's fine.
- 1:47Speaker 1: You can just listen, but I highly encourage to not
- 1:50Speaker 1: be distracted. Just listen to the voice that you're hearing
- 1:53Speaker 1: right now. So Matthew Chapter twenty seven, and it is
- 1:55Speaker 1: titled that Jewish leaders take Jesus to Pilot the Roman.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Ruler verse one.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Early the next morning, all the leaders of the priest
- 2:07Speaker 1: and the important Jews met together. They decided how to
- 2:12Speaker 1: make the Roman rulers punish Jesus with death.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Verse two.
- 2:18Speaker 1: They tried Jesus' hands, They tied Jesus' hands and feet,
- 2:23Speaker 1: and then they took him to Pilot's house, Polate's house.
- 2:29Speaker 1: They put him under the authority of Palate, who was
- 2:34Speaker 1: the Roman ruler.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Judases dies. I've talked about this in.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Another episode, actually probably a couple episodes before this one.
- 2:47Speaker 2: How Judas was.
- 2:50Speaker 1: The portray the portrayer of Jesus, showing the rulers where
- 2:55Speaker 1: Jesus would be, where he would be at and in
- 2:59Speaker 1: all our generation would be the snitch, right, and snitches
- 3:04Speaker 1: get stitches. Well, in this case, it's titled before we
- 3:09Speaker 1: get into verse three as Judas dies Verse three, Matthew,
- 3:13Speaker 1: Chapter twenty seven.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Judas heard that the Jewish.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Judas heard that the Jewish leaders wanted the Roman rulers
- 3:21Speaker 1: to kill Jesus. Judas was the man who had helped
- 3:24Speaker 1: Jesus' enemies to take hold of him. Now he was
- 3:29Speaker 1: very sorry about what he had done, so he took
- 3:32Speaker 1: back the thirty silver coins.
- 3:36Speaker 2: I said silver, gold coins and the thing.
- 3:38Speaker 1: But either way it's being like silver or gold, it's
- 3:46Speaker 1: he betrayed him for some money. I'm kind of like
- 3:50Speaker 1: thinking about how I was making a freestyle and.
- 3:54Speaker 2: I said thirty silvers of gold or I said it
- 3:56Speaker 2: in the podcast.
- 3:57Speaker 3: So to.
- 3:59Speaker 2: The thirty silver coins, he was taking them back right.
- 4:02Speaker 1: To the leaders of the priests and the important Jews.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Verse four he said to them, I have done a
- 4:08Speaker 1: bad thing. I helped you take hold of a man
- 4:10Speaker 1: who was who has done nothing wrong.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Then they said to Judas.
- 4:19Speaker 1: That is not important to us, that is your problem.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Verse five.
- 4:27Speaker 1: So Judas took the money and he threw it down
- 4:30Speaker 1: on the floor in the temple. Then he went away.
- 4:33Speaker 1: He used a rope to hang himself so that he died.
- 4:41Speaker 1: And these are the first five verses in Matthew chapter
- 4:46Speaker 1: twenty seven. And when we're breaking this down because we
- 4:51Speaker 1: are here to learn, right, we're here to learn about
- 4:56Speaker 1: the Bible and breaking them down when we're talking about
- 5:01Speaker 1: how we can apply.
- 5:02Speaker 2: These verses to our lives.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Right, it's sometimes it's the closest people to us that
- 5:08Speaker 1: will betray us.
- 5:10Speaker 2: But the way that.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Jesus handled this, he knew it was coming, but he
- 5:17Speaker 1: didn't just.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Yell at Judas.
- 5:21Speaker 1: He didn't before he was crucified, right, he did not.
- 5:25Speaker 1: He understood Judas's.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Assignment.
- 5:34Speaker 1: It's interesting though, that Jesus chose Judas to be one
- 5:39Speaker 1: of his disciples. So when we talk about the twelve disciples, right,
- 5:44Speaker 1: there really was only eleven. One betrayed them. So we
- 5:49Speaker 1: talk about, oh, the twelve disciples. It's really the eleven,
- 5:52Speaker 1: because the eleven ended up going on, and all the
- 5:57Speaker 1: written testimonies of what Jesus did in his ministry carried on.
- 6:04Speaker 1: So what I want you to understand from this is
- 6:07Speaker 1: just because one person that you've loved betrayed you, don't
- 6:12Speaker 1: forget about the others that are still on your side.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Don't forget that what God allows to be taken away
- 6:21Speaker 1: can be replaced.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Amen.
- 6:23Speaker 1: So I want to get even deeper as we continue
- 6:27Speaker 1: to go to verse six.
- 6:28Speaker 2: So I want you to.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Keep an open mind. I want you to not lean
- 6:32Speaker 1: on your own understanding. And it's hard to put yourself
- 6:36Speaker 1: back in this perspective in time, but just bear with me.
- 6:41Speaker 1: If nothing has really captivated you and you are able
- 6:48Speaker 1: to apply to your lives.
- 6:49Speaker 2: We still got a few more verses to go.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Verse six. Matthew, Chapter twenty seven. The leaders of the
- 6:55Speaker 1: priests picked up the coins. They said, we use this
- 6:59Speaker 1: money to catch and kill a man, so we cannot
- 7:02Speaker 1: use this same money for the temple work.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Verse seven.
- 7:06Speaker 1: They decided to use the money to buy a field.
- 7:09Speaker 1: They wanted to use the field to bury foreign people
- 7:13Speaker 1: who died in the city. The field had been called
- 7:18Speaker 1: the pot maker's field verse eight. After this it was
- 7:24Speaker 1: called the field of blood. It is still called that
- 7:28Speaker 1: even today. Verse nine.
- 7:30Speaker 2: So the words that the prophet.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Jeremiah wrote long ago now became true. He had said,
- 7:40Speaker 1: then they took the thirty silver coins. It was the
- 7:44Speaker 1: amount of money the people of Israel had agreed to pay.
- 7:48Speaker 2: For the man. First ten.
- 7:51Speaker 1: They used this money to buy the pot Maker's field.
- 7:54Speaker 1: The Lord God had told.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Me to do this.
- 7:59Speaker 1: When we're talking about these last few verses, God will
- 8:05Speaker 1: not just allow wreckage on your life and not be
- 8:10Speaker 1: able to restore it. God and the devil are always
- 8:14Speaker 1: up to something. And that's why we need Jesus Christ.
- 8:16Speaker 1: That's why he came down. Because the war, the spiritual war,
- 8:21Speaker 1: is it's not us against each other, which sometimes it
- 8:26Speaker 1: kind of goes that way, right.
- 8:29Speaker 2: It's God versus the devil.
- 8:32Speaker 1: And we needed a savior. Praise God for Jesus. And
- 8:39Speaker 1: I was talking about this in another episode, is why
- 8:43Speaker 1: can't God just forgive Lucifer? Right, I'm not just gonna
- 8:46Speaker 1: call him say, and I'm gonna call him by his
- 8:48Speaker 1: angel name. Why does Lucifer not have the ability to
- 8:54Speaker 1: be forgiven? But we do we are like adolescence. We
- 9:00Speaker 1: are infants no matter how old you are right now.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Spirituality is where we're tackling right now. I'm not talking
- 9:08Speaker 1: about your wisdom, your age, and what you've accomplished in
- 9:11Speaker 1: none of that.
- 9:13Speaker 2: We have.
- 9:17Speaker 1: The free will as well, but we also have God's
- 9:23Speaker 1: favor because even though we sin, by the blood of
- 9:31Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. I hope that makes sense
- 9:35Speaker 1: to you, and it took me a long time for
- 9:39Speaker 1: that to make sense to me. So that's why I
- 9:42Speaker 1: state that I didn't understand what God was doing, and
- 9:47Speaker 1: that's verse ten right like the Lord God had told
- 9:50Speaker 1: me to do this. There's a lot of things when
- 9:53Speaker 1: it comes to religion, and we're talking about church, we're
- 9:56Speaker 1: talking about the Bible can be very complicated because as
- 10:00Speaker 1: man has complicated. I want to make that clear, it's
- 10:02Speaker 1: not that God has made this very complicated.
- 10:09Speaker 2: It's very simple. It's very simple to have godly thoughts.
- 10:17Speaker 2: You have to follow the one that not only talk
- 10:21Speaker 2: to talk, but walk to walk.
- 10:24Speaker 1: There's so many preachers out here that are talking to
- 10:26Speaker 1: talk but not necessarily walking the walk. And that's not
- 10:31Speaker 1: for me to judge. That's on God. That's for God
- 10:34Speaker 1: to judge, and that's on the people that are religious leaders.
- 10:39Speaker 1: I just don't want to be considered a pharisee. I
- 10:41Speaker 1: know that in my drinking career, I've been a hypocrite.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I've been one of those people that I can't say
- 10:49Speaker 1: like I was a hypocrite full blooded, but I was
- 10:53Speaker 1: hypocritical a lot of times. And I'm being honest and
- 10:59Speaker 1: now following Christ putting on that consciousness is a choice
- 11:03Speaker 1: every day. That's why it's a gift. You can accept
- 11:08Speaker 1: a gift or you can return the gift.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Either way. I kind of went a little deep off
- 11:13Speaker 2: of that, but.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Pilot decides, I'm sorry, Pilate decides if Jesus deserves to die.
- 11:22Speaker 1: We're in verse eleven now, Matthew, chapter twenty seven. Now
- 11:25Speaker 1: Jesus stood in front of the Roman ruler Pilate. The
- 11:30Speaker 1: ruler asked, Jesus, are you the king of the Jews.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Jesus replied, you have said it the leaders of the Pharisees.
- 11:39Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Basically, at that time, the leaders of the priests and
- 11:45Speaker 1: the important Jews spoke against Jesus. They said that he
- 11:49Speaker 1: had done many bad things. Jesus did not answer them.
- 11:52Speaker 2: He just stayed quiet.
- 11:53Speaker 1: That's an example of what to do when you are
- 11:55Speaker 1: accused and falsely accused.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Stay quiet.
- 12:02Speaker 1: So Pilot said to Jesus, you hear what these men
- 12:06Speaker 1: are saying against you, you should reply.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Verse fourteen. Matthew, Chapter twenty seven states.
- 12:11Speaker 1: But Jesus did not reply to what the men were
- 12:15Speaker 1: saying against him. He did not reply even to one thing.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Pilot was very surprised about this.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Now, how many times have we been accused or we've
- 12:28Speaker 1: gotten into argument of situations and we want to plead
- 12:33Speaker 1: our case right. We want to be like, no, I
- 12:36Speaker 1: didn't do it. But Jesus knew who he was. The
- 12:41Speaker 1: insecurities that we all faced today. We don't need to
- 12:46Speaker 1: necessarily believe and take in everything that people say about
- 12:53Speaker 1: us or even think about us, and Jesus is a
- 12:58Speaker 1: prime example in this situation.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Jesus also knew what was coming. And when you know
- 13:05Speaker 2: what's coming and you prepare for it.
- 13:08Speaker 1: As before the rulers took him away, he was in
- 13:14Speaker 1: the woods praying and he started to he started to
- 13:17Speaker 1: sweat blood because he knew he was feeling the pressure
- 13:23Speaker 1: and stress that was coming upon him. Thank you, Lord,
- 13:27Speaker 1: for what you've done though, and what you're doing and
- 13:29Speaker 1: what you will do. Now, let's see where we're at
- 13:33Speaker 1: in time, we'll get to verse fifteen. Yeah, we're going
- 13:35Speaker 1: to close out only half a minute, So I want
- 13:38Speaker 1: to take this time to just be thankful.
- 13:40Speaker 2: For the people that you have in your life today.
- 13:42Speaker 2: And I know that I am.
- 13:44Speaker 3: I know for a fact that God's will on my
- 13:51Speaker 3: life has put someone particularly particularly in my life that
- 13:57Speaker 3: almost is a mirror of me, and I'm so grateful
- 14:01Speaker 3: for her.
- 14:01Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for my mom and my brother. I'm
- 14:04Speaker 1: so grateful for my home church. I'm so grateful for
- 14:06Speaker 1: my home recovery group. And the more and more that
- 14:11Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit continues to work on me, the more
- 14:15Speaker 1: and more that I continue to see.
- 14:19Speaker 2: God installing things in me.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I thought that I might have had it all, but
- 14:24Speaker 1: I do not, and I had to humbly go through
- 14:29Speaker 1: rock bottom. I just don't want that to be for you,
- 14:32Speaker 1: the listener. I highly encourage you to get into relationship
- 14:36Speaker 1: with Jesus. It's the best decision you would ever make,
- 14:40Speaker 1: and it just give him a try consistently for six months.
- 14:47Speaker 1: If it doesn't work out, go back to the same
- 14:49Speaker 1: way you were living. This is the Ember Show, your
- 14:51Speaker 1: host Embert. Thank you for pressing play and I hope
- 14:53Speaker 1: everybody has a great day.
