Transcript
- 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,
- 0:07Speaker 1: let's jump into prayer. Lord, Father that art in heaven,
- 0:10Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer to be able to
- 0:13Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this
- 0:15Speaker 1: mic and go through the listeners' ears and be able
- 0:17Speaker 1: to reach their hearts and minds and be able to
- 0:19Speaker 1: apply these verses to their lives. In the Lord Jesus
- 0:22Speaker 1: Christ's name I pray. Amen. So if you would like
- 0:26Speaker 1: to grab your Bibles and get... Or get on your
- 0:30Speaker 1: Bible lap and read along as you hear along. We
- 0:33Speaker 1: are going to be in Romans chapter 2 and Matthew
- 0:38Speaker 1: chapter 7. And this is going to be a very
- 0:44Speaker 1: for all. For all when I mean all whether you're
- 0:50Speaker 1: curious about God, a believer in God, or a follower
- 0:54Speaker 1: of God. This all applies to us. And this is
- 1:01Speaker 1: definitely the Holy Spirit led. Obviously in every episode, majority
- 1:06Speaker 1: of the time the Spirit leads and speaks through me.
- 1:11Speaker 1: And having that ability to be able to break down
- 1:15Speaker 1: the verses as well. I'm going to say this as me,
- 1:22Speaker 1: not the Holy Spirit necessarily. We all fall short of
- 1:26Speaker 1: God's standards. And this episode in particular has been put
- 1:32Speaker 1: on my heart to teach and preach about. So please
- 1:37Speaker 1: stay tuned all the way through. I highly encourage you
- 1:40Speaker 1: to be able to not multitask. Even though we are
- 1:45Speaker 1: able to do so, I want you to really soak
- 1:48Speaker 1: in the word too. That's why I say grab your
- 1:49Speaker 1: Bibles or get on your Bible app and read along
- 1:52Speaker 1: as you hear along. Because it's something that happens in
- 1:55Speaker 1: that moment. Something happens in that moment where things click.
- 2:01Speaker 1: And things also sink in. We may ask, well, why
- 2:05Speaker 1: doesn't God speak to us? Well, we don't read the
- 2:07Speaker 1: Bible out loud. We might go to a sermon and
- 2:11Speaker 1: listen to it and watch it, right? And that's it.
- 2:15Speaker 1: But it's very crucial to have time with God by
- 2:18Speaker 1: being in the Word. By praying before you read the Word.
- 2:25Speaker 1: There's always a time to praise. Amen? Let me jump
- 2:28Speaker 1: into it. Romans chapter 2 verse 1 states, and this
- 2:33Speaker 1: is going to be kind of the shorter version, but
- 2:35Speaker 1: I want to let the Spirit lead as well as
- 2:38Speaker 1: I read. Romans chapter 2 verse 1 states, You have
- 2:42Speaker 1: no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for
- 2:48Speaker 1: at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Because you who pass judgment do the same things. And
- 3:01Speaker 1: we may not do the same things that we pass
- 3:04Speaker 1: judgment upon others, but we access and obsess just like
- 3:13Speaker 1: an alcoholic or an addict. Nobody wants to have that conversation. Right?
- 3:20Speaker 1: Everybody wants to point out that, oh, this person may
- 3:23Speaker 1: drink too much. They are an addict, a drug addict, right?
- 3:30Speaker 1: But nobody wants to talk about how we're over shopping,
- 3:34Speaker 1: over eating. There's more to this than you can understand.
- 3:42Speaker 1: And that's why we break it down. Does not matter
- 3:45Speaker 1: how good of character you have. Does not matter how
- 3:48Speaker 1: even sober you are, how many businesses you have. We
- 3:52Speaker 1: all have A spiritual attack that happens to us on
- 3:56Speaker 1: a daily. Whether we realize it or not. That's irrelevant.
- 4:02Speaker 1: And we need protection. Doesn't mean we always want protection.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Alright spirit. Alright. There's something about how passionate the spirit is.
- 4:16Speaker 1: That even I question sometimes. I'm like wow. This is
- 4:20Speaker 1: really powerful. And... I can almost think about a lot
- 4:26Speaker 1: of people's perspective of this. And that's because I'm open-minded.
- 4:32Speaker 1: I have an open heart. Especially to those that do
- 4:38Speaker 1: not believe that are in the dark. I've been in
- 4:41Speaker 1: the dark. Because I put myself there. Nobody put me there.
- 4:46Speaker 1: My mom and dad didn't put me there. They did
- 4:48Speaker 1: the best that they could do raising me and my brother.
- 4:52Speaker 1: It's the choices that I continue to make. Even though
- 4:55Speaker 1: I still had a conscience that was telling me this
- 4:57Speaker 1: isn't right. I would do it anyways. So we pass
- 5:02Speaker 1: this judgment. Getting back to the actual verse. We pass judgment.
- 5:11Speaker 1: As if we are like Jesus and perfect. See some
- 5:17Speaker 1: of us have been so brainwashed. into thinking that our
- 5:21Speaker 1: will is stronger than God's will. And I want to
- 5:28Speaker 1: add this because I've been able to obtain so much
- 5:32Speaker 1: wisdom and so much teachings from people that don't even
- 5:35Speaker 1: necessarily have a spiritual ranking like mine that allow the
- 5:40Speaker 1: Spirit to really roam through me. We can learn from
- 5:44Speaker 1: one another. Even someone that doesn't believe in God. We
- 5:51Speaker 1: don't have to be hypocritical. What else does the Bible
- 5:58Speaker 1: say about being a hypocrite? Matthew chapter 7 verse 3
- 6:04Speaker 1: through 5 states, Why do you look at the speck
- 6:08Speaker 1: of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention
- 6:12Speaker 1: to the blank, the plank, in your own eye? Hmm. Hmm.
- 6:21Speaker 1: I've heard this plenty of times. And that's the first sentence.
- 6:27Speaker 1: And when we're talking more about... Breaking this verse down...
- 6:33Speaker 1: It's so easy to point out... What somebody's doing wrong.
- 6:41Speaker 1: And we're so slow... To give encouragement... Or congratulations... For
- 6:50Speaker 1: doing the right things. But when we do the right.
- 6:54Speaker 1: You could do 99 things right for somebody. And that
- 6:58Speaker 1: one thing you do wrong. They're going to hold it
- 7:00Speaker 1: over your head. And they're going to talk to others
- 7:03Speaker 1: about it too. But they will not talk about the
- 7:06Speaker 1: 99 things that you did right. If you have not
- 7:09Speaker 1: heard that before. Oh we're going to go deeper. That
- 7:13Speaker 1: was just the first. Verse. Of Matthew chapter 7 verse
- 7:19Speaker 1: 3 through 5. How can you say to your brother,
- 7:24Speaker 1: let me take that speck out of your eye when
- 7:28Speaker 1: all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
- 7:32Speaker 1: You hypocrite. First take the plank out of your own
- 7:38Speaker 1: eye and then you will see clearly to remove the
- 7:41Speaker 1: speck from your brother's eye. For doing so and allowing
- 7:48Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit to Get to work in you. Right. And.
- 7:55Speaker 1: There's a way of going about this. Once you get
- 7:58Speaker 1: to a. A particular. Space. Where you have that consciousness
- 8:05Speaker 1: of Christ. Where you see when people are doing wrong.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Because you're doing so much right. Not perfectly. But a
- 8:13Speaker 1: lot of people. And a lot of Christians. They go
- 8:15Speaker 1: down this line. Of thinking they are so high and mighty.
- 8:22Speaker 1: They don't even have their own... Their own surrender of...
- 8:27Speaker 1: Of their own will. There's so many hypocrites. And there's
- 8:34Speaker 1: so many people... That just attend church and think that's
- 8:39Speaker 1: going to be enough. And I could get into a
- 8:40Speaker 1: whole other segment about that. But it's clear. When you
- 8:49Speaker 1: are spiritually connected to the divine... the Holy Spirit. Let
- 8:55Speaker 1: me dig deep. And you see another brother or sister
- 9:00Speaker 1: that is struggling and you do not help them. You
- 9:07Speaker 1: are holding on to not only your blessing, but God's calling.
- 9:16Speaker 1: And when I sit here and say this, you can
- 9:18Speaker 1: learn from certain people that don't necessarily have Your same
- 9:22Speaker 1: level of faith. Because someone once told me. Not too
- 9:26Speaker 1: long ago. They think God's will. Is not just to love. People.
- 9:36Speaker 1: But to help. People. What is the greatest form of love?
- 9:43Speaker 1: Providing help. Not only. Oh here's two dollars to a
- 9:49Speaker 1: homeless person. Or I'll pray for you. Taking time to
- 9:55Speaker 1: talk to that person. Now I understand we all get
- 9:57Speaker 1: busy and we can't stop and completely save every homeless
- 10:01Speaker 1: person or every person that's an alcoholic or every person
- 10:05Speaker 1: that's a drug addict but when you feel it and
- 10:08Speaker 1: you know the spirit is leading you to go to
- 10:10Speaker 1: that woman or to go to that man and really
- 10:12Speaker 1: have a conversation and you ignore it I've done it.
- 10:21Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here. And I'm sitting here today.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Normally I do my episodes on the go. Or either way.
- 10:29Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and be 100% a hypocrite.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Committing the same sins is a form of being a hypocrite.
- 10:51Speaker 1: A backsliding Christian is a hypocrite. I've been one of those.
- 11:01Speaker 1: For 20 years, I was not a completely horrible person.
- 11:07Speaker 1: It does not matter if you do one sin or
- 11:09Speaker 1: a hundred sins. Sinning is sinning. I want to make
- 11:12Speaker 1: this clear. We are all hypocrites. Until we can allow
- 11:22Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit to intertwine with our spirit. And that's
- 11:30Speaker 1: why it's a battle. It's a bash when you first
- 11:33Speaker 1: come to God. It's okay to be angry. Fight it
- 11:37Speaker 1: out with them. Lay it on the line. What you're
- 11:41Speaker 1: really facing. What you're really going through. Instead of pretending
- 11:45Speaker 1: like you do in this world. Do the opposite when
- 11:49Speaker 1: you come to the Lord. And I say that so
- 11:53Speaker 1: directly because a lot of people only turn to the
- 11:58Speaker 1: Lord when they really need the Lord. But the Lord
- 12:00Speaker 1: needs you. If you have the ability to walk, talk,
- 12:05Speaker 1: I can keep going. You have the ability to spread
- 12:10Speaker 1: the gospel. And it's not all about just, oh, Jesus
- 12:14Speaker 1: will save you. Talk about how Jesus saved you. All right, spirit.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Let's go deeper. Let's go a little deeper. Because I'm really.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Really feeling this. This energy. And I talked about this
- 12:33Speaker 1: in a meeting tonight. We don't know. Even those that
- 12:40Speaker 1: do know. What they actually obtain. The ability to change.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Your environment. Your ability to. to be able to change
- 12:54Speaker 1: your direction of your life. It's not all by your doing.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Be careful when people say, oh, I did this all
- 13:02Speaker 1: by myself. Oh, really? I highly doubt that. There is
- 13:08Speaker 1: not one person that has got successful and been able
- 13:16Speaker 1: to keep it consistently without a team. Even Jesus himself Built...
- 13:22Speaker 1: A team of... I want to say the 11 disciples...
- 13:26Speaker 1: Because Judas... That's a whole other... Conversation... But we'll say
- 13:30Speaker 1: the 12 disciples... Because Jesus did choose him... And either way...
- 13:35Speaker 1: The power of choice... I'm going to get into that
- 13:38Speaker 1: as well... We all have the power... To be able
- 13:42Speaker 1: to turn down... What God has to offer for us...
- 13:46Speaker 1: And we can get something in return that... May come close...
- 13:53Speaker 1: But it won't be permanent. Everything else besides God's love
- 14:01Speaker 1: eventually fades. A couple that prays together consistently 90% of
- 14:10Speaker 1: the time is going to stay together. And not only
- 14:17Speaker 1: prays together but reads the word together. Prays together. It's
- 14:24Speaker 1: very important to have the real true foundation of love
- 14:31Speaker 1: in your relationships. And I'm going to keep it at
- 14:35Speaker 1: this because I got only 20 seconds. Thank you for
- 14:37Speaker 1: pressing play. And these episodes will get a little bit longer.
- 14:41Speaker 1: So stay tuned for that. In the next couple months
- 14:45Speaker 1: we will be doing 30 to maybe even hour episodes,
- 14:50Speaker 1: and there will be special guests. This is The Ember Show,
- 14:52Speaker 1: your host, Ember. Thank you for pressing play, and I
- 14:54Speaker 1: hope that you have a blessed remainder of your life
- 14:57Speaker 1: here on Earth.
