0:34
All right, God bless you. Thank you for those that have
0:37
been listening, Amen. And for those that are new,
0:40
welcome. Of course.
0:42
And before we start, we always start with the prayers.
0:46
So take off my hat. God, thank you so much for this
0:55
opportunity that we are here about to talk about.
1:01
Whatever it is that you have taught us, Guide us and lead us,
1:05
Father, into the absolute truth. For if there is no other God
1:10
greater than you, for you are above all Amen.
1:13
Amen. On that note, there's a couple
1:17
things that we wanted. Well at least I wanted to.
1:19
I don't know Brian, but as we know that whoever is listening,
1:26
thank you so much. We appreciate it so much.
1:29
Yeah, absolutely. We're not doing this to like
1:31
conquer the world or anything or whatever is that other people
1:34
do. However we do it because we do
1:38
have we do have something to say may be challenging.
1:43
It may defy how you say the the order of churches and how they
1:50
think, which is fine. But like this podcast, we also
1:54
have been working on on a nonprofit.
1:58
It's called, it's called breath of life.
2:00
And soon we'll, we'll, we'll place all the details on the
2:04
description so that you always have it there that be on through
2:10
Spotify or or or YouTube. Also, it's called breath of
2:14
life. God has been blessing a lot of
2:18
people through it. And I know that for a lot of
2:22
people, the nonprofit stuff is a little iffy because you know of
2:25
my finances. Are they transparent or not?
2:27
Some people money launderers, some people use it as a loophole
2:31
to, to so they don't have to pay their tax and stuff like that.
2:34
It's it's a mess. However, that is not what we're
2:36
all about. And then in another episode, we
2:39
can go in depth of what the nonprofits are.
2:41
And then secondly, we've been working on like you could say
2:47
like a like a brand, kind of like a, a clothing brand.
2:55
The name is absolute and there's stories behind each thing
2:59
obviously. And we obviously start off with
3:03
hats and stuff like that. Also.
3:05
That too will soon be up there. So if you're interested, you can
3:09
go remember everything that we place here.
3:11
It's all to help the nonprofit. Yes, there is some work that at
3:17
least the brand and I will mention the other thing that you
3:21
know, we we will receive our fruit of Labor, but not in the
3:26
way that people think in regards to living lavishly not at all
3:30
right. We will what is righteously
3:35
obviously, but mostly all these avenues is to to help the
3:41
nonprofit. Yes.
3:43
In every way, yeah, mostly for the podcast.
3:45
If ever we get donations, that all goes to the to the
3:51
nonprofit. So that's the goal with this.
3:54
That being said, we've also been working on a book for the past 2
3:58
1/2 years from now, maybe 3, and it's pretty much complete.
4:02
The editing is done and everything.
4:04
We've gone through a couple edits.
4:06
We did go through someone else. They didn't necessarily
4:10
understand us, but whoever knows of an editor, right, who could
4:13
help us, lead us in that direction, whoever is listening,
4:16
Yeah, emails or comment, and that'd be great.
4:20
Yeah, absolutely. So we working on that book.
4:23
We don't know the name yet, but it is complete.
4:26
It has several chapters and basically it's about the truth,
4:28
kind of like not concise, but collectively put together.
4:32
I don't want to say like dummy proof.
4:36
It does talk about really deep stuff that perhaps you can't
4:38
necessarily speak about in church, but it is not nothing
4:42
heretical or anything that would defy what you would know to be
4:46
Christianity, if you will. You're right.
4:48
That's about it. Those were a couple of things
4:49
that I wanted to share. Yeah, absolutely.
4:54
No, honestly, I, I'm glad you mentioned that because if you
4:57
weren't going to mention it, I was going to mention it.
4:58
So, so, yeah, so we're going to be announcing that a lot in the
5:03
podcast. And it's not because we're
5:06
trying, like you said, we're not trying to conquer the world, but
5:10
all these projects that we've been working on, you know, we've
5:14
noticed that they're all connected together.
5:16
Yeah, in in one way, shape or form, like it's just connected
5:19
together. So we're going to be announcing
5:21
it a lot in the podcast. And like I said, we're not
5:25
trying to conquer the world, trying to be or trying to become
5:28
rich. Now is this is what God has
5:31
placed in our hands and we're just attending to it.
5:34
Exactly. Now, by all means, everybody
5:37
here listening, I would consider all of you brothers and sisters
5:39
in Christ, at any given moment you see a sway away.
5:44
By all means, call us out. Oh, yeah, absolutely,
5:48
absolutely. Yeah.
5:49
You know, I'm, I'm, I'm always open to like someone like
5:53
judging me. I'm never going to like if, if,
5:56
if what they're saying aligns with Scripture and there's
5:59
something that is like truth, that is truth because truth, you
6:02
can't deny truth. Truth is truth.
6:04
Yeah. So yeah, I'll take it too hard
6:08
and I'll. You can't deny truth, and the
6:10
truth can't come in different ways, right?
6:14
But inevitably, there's that one truth.
6:16
That overwrites everything. Yes, exactly.
6:18
That's full of, I guess we can call it energy peace, Whatever
6:23
you want to call it, it's peaceful.
6:26
It does cut. It's in the double edged sword
6:29
and it cuts through the, you could say through the souls, the
6:32
chambers of the soul. Yeah.
6:35
And interesting, like you said. You said you're you're you
6:38
welcome it. Yeah, absolutely.
6:40
People are afraid of it. Yeah, man, some people, you call
6:43
them mountains. Next thing you know they they
6:45
say that you have the spirit of Pharisee.
6:49
Apparently. Whatever that means so well the.
6:55
The spirit of Pharisee is the hypocrisy, if you will it.
7:00
They don't even know what they're saying when they say
7:02
spirit Pharisee to be honest. Yeah, they they use it in the
7:04
context of like you're correcting me on I.
7:07
Christ is called. It's just calling out their
7:08
hypocrisy. Yeah.
7:10
If you are a a Christian who who who practice hypocrisy, then in
7:16
fact you are a Pharisee. 100%. And by Pharisee, they would go
7:20
hard on the people, yet they didn't do it themselves, right?
7:23
That's the hypocrisy where they say the legalism.
7:27
By legalism I mean the strictness and rigidness of the
7:30
word where they use it doesn't necessarily mean that right?
7:37
Whoever coined it in the first place was kind of wrong.
7:41
Because if you're really going to say that you are a people who
7:46
correct it or, or too radical, well then Christ was radical
7:49
because there's some stuff he said that were were tough.
7:52
Yeah, right. 100%. You shouldn't be afraid of
7:55
judgement. No, never.
7:57
You shouldn't. If what they're saying is true,
8:00
it's piercing your heart. Why are you going to deny it?
8:03
You know what, I'll tell you something on Sunday.
8:08
You know we were. No, actually it was Saturday.
8:10
We were going to go out to eat, right?
8:12
Something like that, going out somewhere, hang out with a
8:15
friend. And as I was waiting for you,
8:17
bro, I saw the coolest scene I ever met.
8:21
It was interesting. It's funny because you you'd see
8:24
it, you would see it all the time if you actually paid
8:26
attention. It just had rained a couple days
8:29
ago. So there's like puddles on the
8:31
parking lot. But for some reason this puddle
8:34
was so still, bro, there was no ripple.
8:36
It was just still so you could see the reflection of the sky
8:40
and anything that was near it. And all of a sudden I see two
8:46
birds come in my head. I'll say, oh, they're going to
8:49
drink, dude. And I see them like tuck their
8:53
head in and shake and use it's wings to clean itself.
8:57
Isn't that crazy, right? Yeah, I know.
9:00
I know. What I'm saying is, oh, well,
9:01
he's just being dramatic. Whatever.
9:05
Maybe. But what was interesting is the
9:08
animal knows that it needs to be clean.
9:10
Right. Absolutely.
9:12
That was like the animal knows, even the bird knows that it has
9:15
to be cleansed. Right, it knows it's dirty.
9:18
It knows it's dirty, so it knows it needs to like, you know, like
9:21
watch itself. And I saw a dude that both of
9:23
them, you know, who's shaking and doing it again.
9:26
And you know how animals shake when they want to get the water
9:29
off of themselves. And I was like, interesting.
9:31
And and then I was like, but they don't know where the water
9:35
comes. They know that you know when it
9:40
rains it puddles and they look for that.
9:42
That's all they know. Right, they search for a puddle
9:45
somewhere to wash themselves. So interestingly, there's too
9:49
much of the debating. It's actually kind of
9:51
ridiculous, in my opinion, sometimes debating the the the
9:55
kind of like the elementary things.
9:58
Oh, yeah, which one day we'll talk about.
9:59
But about, you know, you're saved through faith alone or
10:05
works by like faith with works. It's just too much.
10:08
Yeah. Right.
10:10
But for all those who who want to, you know, kind of like a
10:14
tickle in your brain, listen, when I saw that, I was like, the
10:17
animal knows that it needs to clean itself, but it cannot
10:21
boast that it did it on its own. Do you know what I mean by that?
10:25
I I definitely understand what I mean by that.
10:27
Like it knew that it had to go and search for a place to be
10:33
cleansed. Right.
10:34
But it knew that it'd be provided for him, for him.
10:37
He couldn't provide that for now, however, in the sense a
10:42
bird cannot create or create something in which he can
10:45
cleanse himself, like how in you.
10:47
And even then, we can't even create water.
10:49
Yeah, exactly. We can manipulate it, we can
10:52
redirect it, we can use it for our purposes.
10:54
Hot or cold sauna, wet sauna, shower for anything.
10:58
We use it for everything, but in this case I was like,
11:03
interesting, The bird knows that it needs to wash itself, but the
11:06
water that it used, it wasn't of its own account, so it can never
11:10
really say I truly cleansed myself.
11:14
You did clean yourself, but you had to use someone's.
11:19
Water provision provision. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:21
To to cleanse itself. Right, so the same is true.
11:24
It hit me all of a sudden really hard, right.
11:26
I was like, I mean, in my head I was like, they're always
11:29
complaining. They're so scared those who who
11:31
fight for all we're saved by faith alone.
11:34
You're so scared pathetic. You're like a coward because
11:36
you're scared of God's judgement.
11:38
You're scared of of this idea that you might lose salvation or
11:41
you might give your back to it. Why are you so scared, right?
11:44
And that was interesting to me because it was that day that
11:48
you, you shared this, this word in, in first John 4, I believe
11:55
4. Oh yes, chapter. 16 through 19
11:58
yes, yes, I'll give you a chance to find it while while you find
12:02
it, yeah, I'll explain to why it hit me because I mean, I was
12:05
meditating all about all of this in one shot.
12:07
Interesting because you said that you welcome judgement,
12:10
right? Right now you would think rain
12:13
for a for a bird rain in his perspective, it's very, very
12:18
destructive. They can't fly.
12:20
They have to hide, right? Yeah.
12:23
If it's raining, they they can't really be flying out, right?
12:26
Those huge how how could you say the the the rain falling on them
12:34
could feel like rocks to. Oh, Oh yeah, the weight that's.
12:37
So, yeah, to them, rain can be very, very destructive.
12:40
To them, in their perspective, to us, rain is just rain.
12:43
What can it do to us? Yeah, unless it becomes like a
12:45
hurricane. What I'm saying is that
12:49
sometimes the judgement of God is not just judgement of of
12:52
punishment, it's of good. Of good, yeah.
12:56
His good news is judgement. Yeah, that's what that is.
12:59
Exactly like John 316. You know, people love quoting
13:04
that. But they don't keep reading.
13:05
Exactly. And it says this is judgement,
13:08
that the light has come into the world, and it judges.
13:11
So think of it this way, Water is there.
13:14
God provides the water. Water.
13:15
You can see it as that water, that crisis to the Samaritan.
13:19
If you drink to the water, you'll never thirst again,
13:20
right? You can see it as the blood, you
13:22
can see it as salvation. That water that He provides, you
13:25
can't not provide it for yourself.
13:27
Yeah, so true. And you know what?
13:29
You and something too, like water, like you said, like you
13:33
said, it was reflecting. Yes.
13:35
Oh, that's another thing. Yeah, you're right.
13:37
Yeah. Yeah, you can.
13:39
Like, no, I was going to say, like water itself reflects up to
13:42
the sky. Exactly.
13:43
Already itself. Yeah, You know what I mean?
13:45
It tells you where. It comes from, yes, water.
13:47
The reflection of water tells you where it comes from.
13:50
It's. Yeah, right.
13:51
Because it has a reflection when it refracts.
13:53
Yeah, right with the. Yeah, yeah.
13:54
I think it's with the sun or whatever.
13:56
The same is true with Christ. Christ is our salvation.
13:59
He is our provision. He is that, so when we look at
14:03
that, he's pointing to God, so through him.
14:06
Amen. Amen.
14:07
Right. So that provision, and the
14:09
reason I'm making that connection is because we're so
14:11
afraid of what it can mean and what it cannot mean.
14:14
We're so fixated on that rather than just embracing the
14:17
provision and we have to wash ourselves.
14:19
Yeah, but that doesn't mean we did it ourselves.
14:22
Exactly it. Just means that there was
14:24
something provided for us to cleanse ourselves through it.
14:26
Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, 100%.
14:29
So whether you look at it the other way or the other, it
14:31
doesn't matter. Yeah, exactly.
14:34
Right. And that's again a different
14:38
conversation. But that's when I understood it
14:41
was like, OK, we're so afraid. And then meditating on like if
14:46
he provided there should be a confidence in that, there should
14:50
be No Fear. Amen.
14:52
And you want if you want me to start reading.
14:54
Go for it. Yeah, go for it.
14:54
If you found it, you can read. It so first John chapter 4 start
14:59
with 18 right? I'm reading the CSB by the way
15:03
it says here. Therefore, actually, you know
15:07
what? Let me start reading from 17 In
15:09
this, love is made complete with us so that we may have
15:14
confidence in the day of judgement because He is so also
15:18
we are in this world. There is No Fear in love.
15:22
Instead, perfect love drives out fear because fear involves
15:27
punishment. So the one who fears is not
15:32
complete in love. We love because He first loved
15:36
us. So there you go.
15:40
So fear what? It says fear, so the one who
15:43
fears is not complete in love. Now what does it say about
15:48
punishment? It says therefore there's so it
15:54
says there is No Fear in love. Instead of perfect, love drives
15:57
out fear, because fear involves punishment.
16:00
That right there. You had asked me one time, dude.
16:03
Or was it you or someone else asked me?
16:07
Why do you? Why do you follow that?
16:10
Right? Mm.
16:11
Hmm. And I said something ridiculous.
16:14
At least to other people it sounds ridiculous, but to me it
16:17
just makes logical sense. Yeah, I told that person I think
16:21
it was you, man. I'm sorry.
16:23
You're the other person. I could have been our friend
16:27
Linda. Yeah, yeah, it could have.
16:28
I could have been. I don't know.
16:29
Basically I said this. Do you think I Do you think I
16:33
follow God because I'm afraid of hell?
16:37
You said no. And I was like, no, I said,
16:40
well, then why do we serve God? I was like, I don't serve God
16:43
because I'm afraid of hell. Quite honestly, I don't care.
16:47
Right. I know that it exists or that
16:51
there is something, but I don't serve God because that.
16:54
And even even at the end when all of this is done, he's we
16:59
still get charged. It does.
17:00
Just because we're saved doesn't mean we're not charged.
17:02
There is also a certain judgement to us believers.
17:06
Exactly. Right.
17:06
Because if we bound whatever we bound, we bind in heaven
17:10
whatever we lose. And there is an account to that
17:12
we need to make, right? Don't be kind of like, don't be
17:14
thinking that there is no account.
17:15
Just because we're saved doesn't mean that there's nothing.
17:17
Yeah, but even then I told him this.
17:20
Now this is now being ridiculous.
17:21
Even then, if he still determines that I'll make the
17:26
cut. Oh well, because you know what
17:29
the one executing that judgement is the creator itself.
17:32
Amen. So what say do I have?
17:34
Yeah. So I serving because I know he's
17:37
the creator. Yes.
17:38
Because he is that what he is? Yes.
17:42
You can also say like, he is existing.
17:45
He's existing itself. He's the source of it.
17:48
Yeah. So what am I?
17:50
Who am I? So that is my confidence, right?
17:53
I'm serving because I'm afraid of hell.
17:55
No, you're absolutely dude it. Yeah, honestly, that's so true
17:59
because before I came here, I was actually speaking to my dad
18:01
about this. I was like, you know, when I
18:04
when I came to God, when I first came to God, I was not thinking
18:07
about hell at all. I was not thinking about all,
18:11
you know, I should probably go repent finally.
18:14
I should probably go repent because I'm gonna go to hell.
18:16
I was not thinking about that at all.
18:18
Hell wasn't even in my mind. And to this day that I'm serving
18:21
God, I still don't think about hell.
18:24
I know it's real. It's, you know, it's a real
18:26
place, but I don't think about that.
18:28
Yeah. I literally just think about
18:29
like, wow, God, you're so good. Thank you.
18:31
Yeah. Yeah.
18:32
For having mercy on me. Now I'm not downplaying it in
18:35
that place. Hades in Greek or Shoal, I'm not
18:38
downplaying it. It's a real place.
18:40
Yes, and unfortunately those listen to this very carefully.
18:44
Let's just take Jesus name out of the picture, Joshua, which is
18:48
a Hebrew name. This person it because it's what
18:55
it is, right? Came to die.
19:00
Whoever does not believe in him is condemned already.
19:05
Yeah. By that it means that if you
19:09
don't believe in this whom died for the forgiveness of your sin,
19:16
you're condemned because of this mortal life.
19:21
Yes, you're condemned. Exactly.
19:22
He's saying you're condemned already because if you're
19:24
condemned already, there's no need to even judge you.
19:26
You're condemned already. Yeah, you're done.
19:29
You're cooked 100%. So I'm not downplaying that.
19:31
What I'm saying is the provision that God has given us.
19:36
That's what I focus on. That is what I'm looking at.
19:40
Yeah. And I saw it in such a clear
19:42
picture, based in nature, and nature itself knows that it
19:45
needs to cleanse itself, but it knows that that water doesn't
19:48
belong to it. It was provided for it to clean
19:51
itself. So still, although you clean
19:52
yourself, you didn't really do it.
19:54
Exactly. It's like us that's.
19:56
What I'm trying to say. Yes, yes you do.
19:58
That's wow. You really do learn things in
20:01
nature. No, you do.
20:02
You do, you really do, if you pay attention, right?
20:04
Yes. And so when you read in
20:07
Saturday, earlier that Saturday, I believe you, You, you shared
20:10
this because you you're reminded of you because of what I said or
20:14
that conversation we were having.
20:15
That I don't serve God because I'm afraid of hell.
20:18
Yeah. Because even at the end, if he
20:19
determines whatever he determines, that alone is a
20:22
privilege. Yeah.
20:24
Yeah, even that alone is a privilege, absolutely.
20:25
To get judged by the one of everything.
20:29
Yeah, kidding me. Yeah.
20:32
And that's why I say to to others it might sound
20:33
ridiculous, because that's how I see it.
20:35
That's, that's really interesting because you know, as
20:38
you're speaking about this, I just remember Jonah, you know,
20:41
Jonah, you know, even though God told him to go that way, he was
20:44
like, Nah, I know, you know, I'm not going to go that way.
20:47
I'm going to go this way. He wasn't like afraid in the
20:50
aspect of like, like judgement. He knew that you know, God is a
20:55
merciful God, loving God, and still he had so much confidence
20:58
and he was like, all right, well, we're all going to die
21:00
here on this ship because of me. So just throw me off.
21:02
I'm the problem. And even then he got slaughtered
21:05
by fish was bringing to God, you know, in in the center of the
21:10
belly, you know, the show and then got spat out.
21:12
But The thing is that like, you know, his, his love for God was
21:16
so complete because he didn't fear God in the aspect of like
21:19
judgement, like the way fear mongering, the way a lot of
21:22
people see the gospel. Like I see a lot of people when
21:25
they preach about the word of God, it's like always about
21:27
hell, hell, hell, hell and all that stuff.
21:29
They use that as like the kind of like the core of the message.
21:35
Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's it's like, there's no way.
21:37
Which there is a truth to. It No there isn't.
21:39
Like there isn't. Right, but they they speak about
21:42
it hoping people will like, you know, come down, come over here.
21:45
And so I can pray for you, you know, but at the end of the day,
21:48
it literally says right here in Scripture that fear, if you have
21:52
fear, the love is not complete. In other words, you're only
21:55
setting up the person yes, to come to God and and be in an
22:00
incomplete state because of that fear.
22:01
Yes, exactly. It's almost like doing a
22:03
disservice, you know, Sorry about that.
22:05
No, no, no, you're good. Like it's almost like you're
22:07
doing a you. No, it's not almost.
22:09
You are doing a disservice because all you're doing is just
22:12
preaching about hell, hell, hell, hell, and then you're fear
22:15
mongering these people and they come because they're like, Oh my
22:17
gosh, I don't wanna. So they're certainly not because
22:19
of fear, Yes. So the love is not completely
22:21
so. So when it says that fear comes
22:23
from, what is it punishment? It says.
22:25
Therefore it says therefore there is No Fear in love.
22:31
Instead of perfect love drives out fear, perfect love drives
22:35
out fear because fear involves punishment, so the one who fears
22:41
is not completely in love. Yeah.
22:42
So if fear involves punishment, technically even by the by the
22:47
fact that you come to follow God because of what you're fearing,
22:51
that already itself it's a punishment to you, it's
22:53
torturing. You, yes.
22:54
Torturing you? Yeah.
22:55
It's completely torturing you mentally in every way.
22:58
Yeah, yeah. But not only just that, those
23:01
also come to God. For example, you make a mistake,
23:03
you come to God because you you you're scared of of something
23:06
that's about to having. What are you doing?
23:08
Yeah, you see, that's why I said Jonah.
23:11
Jonah is like a cool example because he was he was he was
23:14
almost like not panicking that the fact that God is gonna
23:16
punish him for. No, he knew.
23:18
It yeah, he knew. He knew he, you know, he was so
23:20
confident in God's punishment, like he had so much faith and
23:23
trust in his punishment that he was like, I know God is gonna do
23:25
something, but I'm still gonna go that way.
23:28
And then Guy was like, Nope, you're going that way.
23:31
And at the end he was like, how do you see?
23:33
I didn't want to tell him because I knew you were a
23:35
merciful, loving God. And you said something
23:41
interesting too, that you said even if at the end my name is
23:44
not written in the book of life I.
23:46
Mean that's a, I'm just saying a ridiculous statement, right?
23:49
Right. How can you say that?
23:51
But like, but like, but like, you know, it's, it's interesting
23:53
because people are like, no, you know, hopefully my name is
23:56
written in the book of life and all this stuff.
23:57
Worried about how. But yeah, man, like I, I'll be
24:01
honest, like I don't till this day, since the day I repented
24:05
and came to Christ to now dude, I still don't think about hell.
24:09
I don't, I don't even think about it at all.
24:12
I feel bad for the people that are going there.
24:15
But, and it's true, man, if you have that much love for God and
24:21
trust in God, even in his judgement, you will glorify him
24:25
in whatever punishment he brings upon you for disobedience like.
24:30
I mean, and Revelation says that they they were worshipping him
24:32
when when he was pouring out his.
24:34
Wrath they were. They were absolutely.
24:35
The angels were now. Don't get me wrong, Aspire that
24:38
your name is written in the book of life, of course.
24:40
Oh yeah, absolutely. Christ did say, now some
24:43
scholars say that it was added later on onto the gospel, right
24:48
where he says that when the disciples came, oh God, we did
24:50
this in your name, we took out demons, blah, blah.
24:52
And he's like, great, was it? I saw Saint Paul.
24:55
Yeah, I saw Saint Paul. Be sure that your name is
24:58
written. Be more worried that your name
25:01
is written in the book of life rather than this.
25:02
Now, if we can get into the semantics of, oh, it was later
25:07
on added by a scribe, OK, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
25:11
If he added it, that means there was a note written somewhere.
25:14
So that the implication is that that that that could have been
25:18
something that was known, right? So yeah, be more worried that
25:23
your name is written in the Book of Life than worried about
25:26
walking on water, if you will. Oh yeah, absolutely.
25:30
Because. Because remember what Christ
25:31
says? He says man.
25:32
Obviously I'm exaggerating. No, no, no.
25:34
But yeah, no, you have a good point.
25:36
But I mean, Christ is like many will say on this day, Lord,
25:38
Lord, have we not prophesied in your name?
25:41
So and also in Revelation 2 bro, in 22 it says, you know, blessed
25:47
are those who wash their robes daily for they will have access
25:50
to the tree of life. Right, right.
25:52
So yeah, man, this is a living sacrifice.
25:57
I'm trying to find the verse that I was talking to you about
26:01
how like we are presented, Christ will present us.
26:03
Blamelessly. Isn't that Colossians?
26:06
Yeah, Colossians one, I have no idea, but it'll take me a second
26:14
right now. Yeah, you're talking about the
26:15
one where? OK, here it is.
26:18
Yeah, so. 21 Colossians 1/21 it says.
26:21
And although you were previously alienated and hostile in
26:25
attitude engage in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in
26:29
his body of of flesh through death, in order to present you
26:33
before him holy and blameless and beyond reproach.
26:38
If indeed, If indeed. If indeed.
26:43
You continue in the faith, if indeed you continue.
26:48
That's fear, right? And that's doubt, right?
26:54
If indeed you continue in the faith firmly established.
26:58
So you have to have a firm foundation, maturity and
27:01
steadfast meaning. You're not giving up, you're
27:03
continuing it and not shifting from the hope of the gospel.
27:10
That gospel, as we know, is the Kingdom of heaven to to to come
27:14
to him for the forgiveness of sin and that he is through whom
27:18
we're going to get to the Father.
27:20
Now it says shifting, not shifting.
27:25
Shifting is going back and. Forth.
27:26
Yeah, Yeah, James. Talks about that double
27:29
mindedness, not having self-control, all of these
27:32
things being incomplete. You have to trust in the
27:35
provision that God has provided. Yeah.
27:38
OK. And many say once you calm,
27:43
everything will be solved. No, sorry, not not everything
27:45
will be solved. There's certain things.
27:48
If you come from the world directly, you're going to have
27:50
to unlearn and learn. If you are a believer who left
27:52
and came back, there's certain things that even for you might
27:54
be even difficult. Yeah.
27:56
Especially if you've tasted the heavenly things.
27:59
Yes. And you go and then come back.
28:01
Yeah. Very, very hard walk.
28:05
So the take away on this is do not be afraid.
28:11
Do not be scared. Sorry, I don't know what's wrong
28:13
with me. I think it's a poem.
28:16
Yeah. Do not be afraid.
28:18
Do not fear. Now I will say this, the fear of
28:22
the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
28:25
OK, That's completely. That's a different fear.
28:27
That's like reverence, respect. Yeah.
28:29
He's a king. Yes.
28:30
That's the creator, right. It's not like, Oh my God, I'm so
28:33
scared, right. You know, when the prophets were
28:37
witnessing an Angel, he, the Angel would be like fear, not
28:41
like fear, not because they're beings that are majestic.
28:44
And it can and can be a little startling, right.
28:48
So the animals themselves, especially for that bird, he
28:54
sees the world so big in comparison to you and me.
28:58
We're bigger than a bird. But they can fly in a, in a, in
29:01
a, in a playing field that we cannot.
29:02
So see. They see the world completely
29:04
different, right? And how we see it.
29:06
Yeah, absolutely. We see it at from the floor, 5
29:10
feet up. They see it from 203040 feet.
29:13
Yeah, the floor, yeah. So we I say this spiritually, we
29:18
got to see where we walk. Have perspective.
29:22
Not that you can have a different gospel.
29:23
No trust in the provision that God has given you.
29:28
If there's a sense of struggle, understand that you haven't
29:32
developed fruits yet. If you are in a sense of
29:35
suffering, then that means you are rejecting the flesh.
29:39
Yeah, thinking and walking in the Spirit.
29:42
Amen. I believe we've spoken about
29:43
this. There's a difference between
29:44
struggling and suffering. Yes, we have.
29:47
Right, Yep. And I don't know if you have
29:49
something to say about this. No, no, you pretty much said it
29:51
all. That's a really cool testimony
29:56
or thank you for sharing that. And yeah, I, I firmly believe
30:00
that, you know, when you're outside in nature, you, you
30:03
learn because God created it so. And yeah, no, you pretty much
30:10
said it all, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:11
So, so the, the take away the the what we're really it really
30:16
quite honestly how you invited it was you're you're you're
30:19
welcome judgement. Yeah.
30:21
Constructive criticism is good. Hey, man.
30:24
And so we need to trust on the provision that God has given us,
30:28
which is his Son. Yeah.
30:30
And through that there should be no doubt.
30:32
There should be no shifting back and forth from elementary things
30:37
and that being said like if you are in God, this love should be
30:42
perfected in you and have No Fear in.
30:44
It absolutely and also you know what Baron before we end this
30:47
like in Matthew, Christ literally supports when her
30:51
brother confronts another brother in secret first Oh yeah
30:55
then if he's. Got Matthew 18.
30:57
Yes, Matthew 18 then if he doesn't listen, then bring him
31:00
in front of, you know, two or three of the brothers.
31:02
And then if he doesn't listen there, bring him in front of the
31:05
church. And if he still doesn't listen,
31:07
then you are to see him as a Gentile and a tax collector.
31:11
So even then Christ is like, I will be with you.
31:14
If two or three are gathered there, I will be with.
31:16
You that is true so. Whoever is.
31:21
So judgement is a good thing. Yes, and whoever gets upset.
31:24
Yeah, and whoever gets upset about it.
31:25
Then, Joe, come on. What do you like?
31:28
Who are you really, truly following these words?
31:30
If you get upset, one, if you get upset as one, you want to
31:33
continue tolerating your own sin.
31:35
That is true. You're living.
31:37
Yeah, every hour. I don't know, whatever it may
31:41
be, don't want to be corrected because you want to fulfill your
31:45
own lustful desire. Right, exactly so.
31:50
Trust in the provision period that water go wash yourself.
31:56
Amen. That water is gone.
31:58
Yes, it's what? Like what you said.
32:01
Blessed are those who wash their robes daily.
32:03
Is that the one you said? Yeah, Revelation will have.
32:05
The right to the tree of. Life.
32:06
The tree of life. Yeah, yeah.
32:08
Or in in the Kim James version says blessed are those who do my
32:11
commandments. Either way, doing your
32:13
commandments, doing the commandments, it's a way of
32:15
washing yourself. Yeah, well, because he provided
32:17
the commandments exactly. Wash yourself exactly right.
32:21
Yeah. So it's it it we can never ever
32:24
boast. It came in this way.
32:25
So that what Paul said we can never boast.
32:27
Yes, exactly. On our own deeds.
32:31
Amen. Because we.
32:31
Have a tendencies to do. That Oh, we do, absolutely.
32:34
So thank you guys for listening and once again, we'll we'll keep
32:37
bringing up the that the projects are now, you know,
32:41
essentially are kind of just all together now.
32:43

33:01
It's OK. They're all brothers and
33:02
sisters. Amen.
33:04
Amen. So we're going to close it.
33:05
close it with a prayer. Thank you, Father, once again,
33:08
this opportunity to speak about your word.
33:12
You revealed to us your Kingdom even through nature and this
33:16
world, and we're grateful for it and unworthy of it.
33:23
Like what Scripture says, we're unworthy servants and so we are
33:29
full of gratitude and let your Kingdom, you know, be in place
33:35
at all times. Give us a strength to continue
33:37
to seek your Kingdom and your righteousness and everything
33:40
else shall come as an add on. Forgive us for us as if we have.
33:45
And all those who listen to give them peace.
33:48
Let your spirit dwell within them as Scripture says that
33:54
you're like a mother to those who don't have mother, father to
33:57
those who don't have fathers. You are everything.
33:59
And in that, you know, guide us to the absolute truth always.
34:04
We are in a noisy, chaotic world with too much information out
34:09
there where we can get lost and not know where to go.
34:13
And that we thank you for giving us this opportunity to speak
34:17
about the Word, where if we run into that information, we can
34:21
filter it out for them and help them understand and they can
34:24
move forward to you even more. For when we come to you, we
34:29
learn of these beautiful things, spiritual things, but
34:33
inevitably, at some point we want more.
34:34
So help us always learn those heavenly things always in the
34:38
purpose so that the your body, O Lord, your everybody gets
34:43
edified and and and can have a much greater I guess you can say
34:49
relationship or abide under you always.
34:51
Amen. Till the next time guys.
