- 0:01Speaker 1: Alright, coming to you live from Altamonte Springs, Florida. This
- 0:04Speaker 1: is the Ember Show, your host Ember. First and foremost,
- 0:08Speaker 1: let's get into prayer before we get into 1 Peter
- 0:10Speaker 1: chapter 2. Lord Father that art in heaven, I come
- 0:13Speaker 1: to you in prayer to be able to have the
- 0:15Speaker 1: Holy Spirit be able to speak through this mic and
- 0:17Speaker 1: go through the listeners ears and be able to reach
- 0:19Speaker 1: their hearts and minds and be able to apply these
- 0:21Speaker 1: verses to their lives.
- 0:23Speaker 2: In the Lord Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen. So
- 0:26Speaker 2: let's jump into it.
- 0:28Speaker 1: I'm not going to lally-yag whatsoever. So first, Peter chapter 2,
- 0:33Speaker 1: and it is stated, God's message is like good food
- 0:38Speaker 1: that helps you grow. Verse 1 states, And the thing
- 0:41Speaker 1: about it is we're all guilty of one of these,
- 0:44Speaker 1: if not multiple. Who are we to judge one another? Instead,
- 1:04Speaker 1: listen to one another. Instead of just hearing them. And
- 1:09Speaker 1: I say that with, you know, I had to burp.
- 1:11Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's almost that feeling too.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Where you know you could be surrounded by a whole
- 1:17Speaker 1: bunch of people. And it's just you feel the tension.
- 1:21Speaker 1: You feel the vibrations. And we've all lied. We've all
- 1:25Speaker 1: been hypocrites. We've all been jealous of others. And for
- 1:30Speaker 1: anybody to say they have not, then you really want
- 1:33Speaker 1: to evaluate that friendship or relationship.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Because we're all guilty. We all fall short of God's standard.
- 1:42Speaker 1: So we're playing competition against each other when we should
- 1:45Speaker 1: come together.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Amen?
- 1:46Speaker 1: So verse 2 states, instead you should want to learn
- 1:50Speaker 1: about God more and more. New babies always want their
- 1:56Speaker 1: mother's milk, which makes them grow strong. God's message is
- 2:01Speaker 1: like good food that will make you strong in your spirits.
- 2:05Speaker 1: And you see how it says your spirits. I want
- 2:08Speaker 1: to break that down for you. You have a body, mind, soul,
- 2:12Speaker 1: and spirit. And the Holy Spirit. That's why it says
- 2:19Speaker 1: that will like good food that will make you strong
- 2:23Speaker 1: in your spirits. That's the Holy Spirit and your spirit
- 2:26Speaker 1: intertwined with each other over time.
- 2:29Speaker 2: The Spirit grows on you.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Then you will continue to grow as believers so that
- 2:35Speaker 1: God saves you. Verse 3, do this because you have
- 2:40Speaker 1: already begun to know how kind the Lord is to you.
- 2:46Speaker 2: They've seen it firsthand.
- 2:47Speaker 1: And before we get into Jesus is like the most
- 2:51Speaker 1: important stone in God's house, I want to break down
- 2:57Speaker 1: these first three verses. And being as if, you know,
- 3:03Speaker 1: still dealing with the jealousy. I have to tell on
- 3:06Speaker 1: myself in order to correct myself. I know that there
- 3:13Speaker 1: are certain things that have happened in my past. And
- 3:17Speaker 1: I have definitely grown up with seeing a lot of
- 3:22Speaker 1: people be hypocrites.
- 3:24Speaker 2: And having to say I can... I have made it
- 3:30Speaker 2: out of that.
- 3:32Speaker 1: And. My circle is very tight when it comes to
- 3:35Speaker 1: people that I let in. So let's just keep it moving.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Jesus is. Like the most important stone in God's house.
- 3:42Speaker 2: So.
- 3:44Speaker 1: First Peter chapter 2 verse 4 states. So come to
- 3:48Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus. He is like a strong stone. That
- 3:52Speaker 1: a builder uses to build a house. But he is alive.
- 3:56Speaker 1: People decided. That he was not important. So they refused
- 4:00Speaker 1: to accept him. But God had chosen him. To God
- 4:04Speaker 1: Jesus is very valuable. Verse 5. You yourselves are also
- 4:10Speaker 1: like stones that are alive. God is using you. Like
- 4:13Speaker 1: stones to build a house where his spirit lives. You
- 4:17Speaker 1: will serve him like his special priest. Who offers sacrifices
- 4:21Speaker 1: to him. God will be happy with the spiritual offerings
- 4:25Speaker 1: that you receive.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Give to him because you belong to Jesus Christ.
- 4:31Speaker 1: In the Bible, God says this, look, I have chosen
- 4:34Speaker 1: a stone that is very valuable. I have chosen this
- 4:37Speaker 1: stone as the most important stone for the corner of
- 4:41Speaker 1: my house is Zion. Anyone who believes in him will
- 4:44Speaker 1: never become disappointed. We will have sorrow.
- 4:49Speaker 2: We will have pains.
- 4:50Speaker 1: We will have things that will come but they cannot
- 4:53Speaker 1: steal the joy that comes with having the relationship with
- 4:56Speaker 1: Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit amen that should definitely
- 5:02Speaker 1: resonate if you know that each and every stone in
- 5:09Speaker 1: God's kingdom is obviously in heaven for a reason so
- 5:15Speaker 1: each and every one has its own value to be
- 5:18Speaker 1: chosen you have to choose as well take out the
- 5:20Speaker 1: end And I've been saying this a lot lately because
- 5:24Speaker 1: the Spirit has taken to root. And I allow that
- 5:32Speaker 1: consciousness of Christ to shine. And so can you. This
- 5:36Speaker 1: isn't just something that, oh, I'm chosen. We've all been
- 5:42Speaker 1: crafted by God in some way, some form. So, verse 7,
- 5:46Speaker 1: this stone is very valuable to you who believe in
- 5:49Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. But the Bible says this about people who
- 5:52Speaker 1: do not believe in him. The builders refused to use
- 5:55Speaker 1: a certain stone.
- 5:57Speaker 2: They taught that it had no value.
- 6:00Speaker 1: But now the stone has become the most important stone
- 6:03Speaker 1: at the corner of the building. The Bible also says,
- 6:07Speaker 1: that's almost just like the last piece to the puzzle.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Right?
- 6:12Speaker 1: What I just said. The Bible also says this. The
- 6:15Speaker 1: stone will cause people to fall to the ground. It
- 6:19Speaker 1: is a rock that will make them fall down. They
- 6:22Speaker 1: fall down like that because they refuse to obey God's message.
- 6:27Speaker 1: God already decided that this would happen to them. It's
- 6:30Speaker 1: already been their fate. But you are not like that,
- 6:33Speaker 1: talking about us that still have a chance. You are
- 6:36Speaker 1: a special group of people that God has chosen. You
- 6:39Speaker 1: serve God like priests who serve a king.
- 6:42Speaker 2: In order to serve any You have to choose to
- 6:48Speaker 2: do it.
- 6:48Speaker 1: That's why it's also stated God is chosen. And many
- 6:52Speaker 1: are called fewer chosen because many don't choose. You are
- 6:59Speaker 1: his own holy people who belong to him. He has
- 7:03Speaker 1: taken you out of the darkness. Place of sin. And
- 7:09Speaker 1: he has brought you into his great light. God has
- 7:13Speaker 1: done all this so that you can tell people how
- 7:16Speaker 1: great he is. It's to glorify him. And we get
- 7:18Speaker 1: glorified after this in heaven. Our heavenly bodies. Verse 10.
- 7:23Speaker 1: In past times you were not people who knew God.
- 7:26Speaker 1: We were separated. Think about this.
- 7:28Speaker 2: But now you are people's. You are God's people. In
- 7:32Speaker 2: past times. In the past times. This is deep.
- 7:36Speaker 1: God did not forgive you. So this is your redemption
- 7:39Speaker 1: time now. We all have an opportunity to get right
- 7:42Speaker 1: if we still have time. Amen. But now he has
- 7:46Speaker 1: been very kind to you and has forgiven you. We
- 7:52Speaker 1: have definitely some more time. My friends, remember that you
- 7:58Speaker 1: are really strangers in this world.
- 8:01Speaker 2: You do not belong here.
- 8:03Speaker 1: So I'm telling you not to do the bad things
- 8:06Speaker 1: that your bodies may want to do. Those bad things.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Things fight against what is good for your soul. You
- 8:15Speaker 1: are living among people who do not know God. So
- 8:20Speaker 1: be very careful that you always live in a good way.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Sometimes these people may wrongly say that you do bad things.
- 8:29Speaker 1: But if you continue to live in a good way.
- 8:32Speaker 1: They will see that you really do good things. I'm
- 8:34Speaker 1: a result to this. And it says as a result.
- 8:37Speaker 1: On the day when God becomes as judge. They will
- 8:40Speaker 1: give honor to him. And just like it states, whoever
- 8:43Speaker 1: was last will be first. Whoever was first will be last.
- 8:48Speaker 1: There will be no more lies, cheating, stealing, murder. I mean,
- 8:53Speaker 1: I can get deeper into it. And we're going to
- 8:55Speaker 1: close out with this. Christians, and I don't even like
- 8:58Speaker 1: this title because it's been so misused. I have the relationship,
- 9:03Speaker 1: spiritual element, not the religious element. part where it's baptists
- 9:10Speaker 1: and then they have so many different like christ talked
- 9:15Speaker 1: about this the church is coming in his name and
- 9:18Speaker 1: not doing it correctly i could get deeper into that
- 9:21Speaker 1: but i won't but just leave keep that in mind
- 9:24Speaker 1: and do your own research and find a good home
- 9:26Speaker 1: church christians should obey people who have authority obey all
- 9:31Speaker 1: people who have authority in this world obey them because
- 9:34Speaker 1: you are servants of the lord jesus of of First
- 9:38Speaker 1: of all, obey the king who rules everyone.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Also, obey the officers that serve the king.
- 9:46Speaker 1: He has sent them to punish people who do bad things,
- 9:51Speaker 1: and they praise people who do good things. God wants
- 9:55Speaker 1: you to do only what is good. Then silly people
- 9:59Speaker 1: will not be able to say bad things against you.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Those people do not really know what is true. Those
- 10:05Speaker 1: that talk about so much gossip and so much aimed
- 10:12Speaker 1: against others and being as if we're talking about It's
- 10:19Speaker 1: a matter of.
- 10:24Speaker 2: The authority.
- 10:27Speaker 1: When somebody is a follower of Christ. There's a certain
- 10:30Speaker 1: authority that has. Spiritual gifts is what it should.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Be. Stated as. And. Truthfully it's as simple as saying.
- 10:45Speaker 2: In the mighty name of Jesus. I declare.
- 10:53Speaker 1: And we can go so on and so on. And
- 10:58Speaker 1: the best part about it is there's no really wrong
- 11:00Speaker 1: or right way to say it. You might have been
- 11:03Speaker 1: waiting for me to go really deep into it. You
- 11:05Speaker 1: might have had your pen and your paper. But you
- 11:07Speaker 1: come as you are.
- 11:08Speaker 2: You are.
- 11:11Speaker 1: A child of God. He's been waiting for you to
- 11:14Speaker 1: reconnect with him. It's very simple. And you don't have
- 11:17Speaker 1: to spend all day with him. He just wants some
- 11:19Speaker 1: of your time. The more and more that you continue
- 11:23Speaker 1: to love the Lord, the more and more you will
- 11:25Speaker 1: continue to not want to hurt the Lord. And the
- 11:29Speaker 1: reward from that is keeping a healthy body and being
- 11:32Speaker 1: able to be successful to glorify God in order to
- 11:35Speaker 1: be glorified in heaven. We need to start doing at
- 11:41Speaker 1: least a little bit what we're going to be doing
- 11:43Speaker 1: in heaven here on earth so we can prepare ourselves.
- 11:46Speaker 2: All right, Spirit, I see that. I see what you're doing.
- 11:50Speaker 1: And You need to get your loved ones and let
- 11:52Speaker 1: them know that it's not a force. It is a
- 11:57Speaker 1: way of being a living example of what it really
- 12:03Speaker 1: means to believe and follow Christ. If you're just a
- 12:06Speaker 1: believer now, I am not looking down upon you just
- 12:09Speaker 1: because I'm a follower.
- 12:10Speaker 2: We're not in competition.
- 12:13Speaker 1: I just want followers and believers to know to hang
- 12:17Speaker 1: on to that faith because this world is getting crazier.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Hang on to the people that say and show you
- 12:23Speaker 1: that they love you. Whether it's a significant other. Whether
- 12:26Speaker 1: it's mom, dad, brother, whatever it may be.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Hang on to those people. And pray to Jesus. I
- 12:35Speaker 2: only have a.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Little bit more time. We've covered 1 through 15. And
- 12:40Speaker 1: I just want to thank you. We've just seen 2, 2, 2.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Angel numbers. Because we're on angel time. I know all
- 12:47Speaker 2: about demon time. I have a special... loved one.
- 12:53Speaker 1: She is my girlfriend and best friend and fiance and
- 13:00Speaker 1: basically already my wife. And it's such a beautiful thing
- 13:04Speaker 1: that I was blessed with such an opportunity to fall
- 13:10Speaker 1: in love with this woman and vice versa. And we
- 13:14Speaker 1: both have a story. We both have an ambition. We
- 13:17Speaker 1: both have goals. We both have Similar belief systems, doesn't
- 13:21Speaker 1: matter what level that we're on. It's a difference between
- 13:24Speaker 1: a believer and a follower. But either way, all it
- 13:29Speaker 1: takes is a faith of a mustard seed. That's all
- 13:32Speaker 1: you need. And I'm not playing competition. Like I said,
- 13:36Speaker 1: I'm no one to judge for 20 years. I lived
- 13:39Speaker 1: a rebellious life and I did not care to go
- 13:42Speaker 1: to church and worship. No, I was doing some other things.
- 13:49Speaker 1: So I want you to know that these Gospels and
- 13:55Speaker 1: these episodes are only going to get better and better
- 13:57Speaker 1: because the Holy Spirit really has taken over this show.
- 14:04Speaker 1: And I'm very grateful that I can be able to
- 14:09Speaker 1: be a vessel for God instead of trying to hide
- 14:13Speaker 1: from God and to be in the self-will. I want you,
- 14:18Speaker 1: the listener, to know that there's no better way to
- 14:23Speaker 1: put this. You need that relationship with Jesus. And I
- 14:34Speaker 1: tell you that because he's the one that didn't sin.
- 14:40Speaker 1: He was perfect.
- 14:41Speaker 2: None of us are perfect.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Thank you for pressing play. This is the Ember Show.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Your host, Ember Williams. And I hope you have enjoyed
- 14:47Speaker 1: this episode. The best is yet to come. I'm going
- 14:50Speaker 1: to go ahead and let it just close out.
