  Speaker 1: Alright, coming to you live from Altamonte Springs, Florida. This
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is the Ember Show. Your host, Ember. First and foremost,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: let's get into prayer. Lord, Father, that art's in heaven,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I come to you in prayer. To be able to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: have the Holy Spirit be able to speak through this
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: mic and go through the listeners' ears and be able
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: to reach their hearts and minds and be able to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: apply these verses to their lives.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: In the Lord Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: So we're going to be in Mark chapter 6 tonight.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Just the first 15 verses. As this is a 15
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: minute segment.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Episode.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I normally have had longer ones, but it has worked
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: beneficially for me the past six months following Christ. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I want to give you some time to get your
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Bibles out or get on your Bible app and read
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: along as you hear along and just share just a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: very brief part of.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: My, I would call it a journey. I wouldn't call
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: it a walk with Christ.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: The first 20 years of my belief and Jesus and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: accepting Him. I want to give encouragement to anybody that's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: fairly new to believing in Jesus Christ and having that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: relationship and, you know, scared of the church or scared
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of Bible study or anything that consists of the Bible.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And I understand.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I want you to understand this and listen to me
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that it's okay to not have it all figured out.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Meaning how to conduct yourself. Being a believer. And a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: believer to a follower is a transition. And you have
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to be willing. You have to be wanting to choose
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the side. Because I really do consist of having experienced
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: both worlds. As a believer and as a follower. And
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I can tell you right now. It is so much
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: better following than just believing. So let's jump into Mark
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: chapter 6, and it is titled, People of Natharus Do
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Not Respect Jesus. And this is first take, first take
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: only tonight. So there's no perfection here. There's just profession.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, not profession. Yeah, it can be a profession.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's progress, not perfection. When it comes to Bible study.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: When it comes to praying. When it comes to praising.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And forgive me for the other noises you may hear.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I am outside recording this. But we have to understand
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: as a believer of Christ and a follower of Christ
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: what that not only consists of, but what that's going
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to bring to your life. Not everybody's going to respect you.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Not everybody's going to love that you're following Jesus or
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: that you're believing in Jesus. And even the ones that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you love dearly and that love you. It's a different
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: kind of love, what we throw around, than what God
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: has to offer. Let me mention that before I get
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: into this verse, okay? And hear me out and listen.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Mark chapter 6 verse 1 states, Jesus left that place. So,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that's the first sentence. Jesus left that place where he
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: was not respected. We take that as an example, right?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: How many times have we stuck with people, places, or
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: things that we knew weren't good for us? How many
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: times have we done that and regretted it? I can
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: definitely relate to that of being a loyal friend to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: certain friends growing up and they did not respect me.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And I did the complete opposite of what Jesus did.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I stayed.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So it goes into saying, he went to his own town.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: His disciples went with him. When it was the Jewish
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: day of rest, Jesus went to their meeting place. He
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: began to teach the people who were there. Many of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: them were surprised about the things that he was saying
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to them. They said to each other, how did this
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: man learn all these things? How did he become so wise?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: How does he do all these powerful things? In verse
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: 3 states, and we'll break it down. We know he
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: is an ordinary man. He is the carpenter. He is
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the son of Mary and the brother of James, Hosea, Simon,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and Judas. His sisters live here in the town among us.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: We know that that is true. So the people.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: There did not respect Jesus. This is deep.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Because when we're analyzing these verses, and when I mean we,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I mean as me and the Holy Spirit, being where
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: your upbringing is, not everybody in your immediate family is
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: going to respect you. I know that you, the listener,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: have heard Probably gone through that. Each and every one
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of us have. Just because their blood does not mean
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that they unconditionally love you. Or they respect you. Sometimes
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: we get disrespected. Sometimes we get hurt by the ones
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that are closest to us. But this is where forgiveness
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: comes into play. And as well as knowing your place.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Where you are at.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Are you valued? Are you appreciated? If not, get up
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and leave.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Get around the people and the places and the things
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that really make you feel as if you are loved
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and valued.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Two different things. Loved and valued. We can get into
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the other. Respected. Having the forgiveness.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Realizing that not everybody is the version you want them
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to be. Are you going to fall in love when
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: it's romantically important? with somebody's different versions of themselves as
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they continue to grow or if they continue to stay
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: stagnant and they stay the same. But the moral of this,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: breaking these down, these first three verses, is that it
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: does not matter what people think of you and your
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: upbringing and what they say about your upbringing because that's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: all they know.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: They don't know what you know. They don't know what
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you carry.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Until they give you time of the day to really
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: get to know the real you. How many of us
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: are letting each other get to know one another and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we are trying to pretend to be something that we're not.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: We've all been there. Trying to fit in.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And if you don't fit in, you stand out completely, right?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Jesus knew....
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Who respected him and who didn't. And he didn't waste
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of time on people that didn't.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Respect him.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: He spent a lot of time around people that were
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: sick and suffering. A prime example of how I'm living
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: my life. I'm not always.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Healed.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But once I am and I can make an impact,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I will.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: And I do. And that's the beauty of Being on this. Path.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Of following Christ. It has not always been easy. It
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: has not always felt right. To do the right thing.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And as I continue.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: To grow. Spiritually. Faithfully. Mentally. All components. Will come together.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: And work together. Unlike. In my 20 years of drinking. Using.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: They were working against me.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And anything that I could feel as if I was
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: being treasured, I'd stick around until it was done. But
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: now it's realizing that I don't go anywhere where I
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: will feel.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Triggered to be disrespected. There's no... purpose in that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So verse 4 states, Then Jesus said to them, If
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: a man is a prophet from God, people everywhere will
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: respect him. But the people in his own town will
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: not accept him. Even his own people, his own family
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: will not respect him. Not everybody wants to see you glow.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Not everybody wants to see you blow up and do
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: big things.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: They do not.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Especially the people that are stuck on the version of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you That they were comfortable with. Any time where people
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: feel intimidated. That you're doing better than them.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And they're not doing nothing with their lives. You'll know.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: You'll know by how they conduct themselves around you. And
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: when we get into verse 5. I want you to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: keep an open mind. And please put away all distractions.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And really listen to this. Mark chapter 6 verse 5,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Jesus could not do any powerful miracles in his own town,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: but he did put his hands on a few sick
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: people and made them well.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: So leaving where? you were born is a necessity.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: So many people are loyal, and I've experienced this, loyal
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to their hometown, loyal to their peoples, loyal to the idea.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: That where they were established matters more than their purpose.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: More than their actual. Joy. Being loyal to. The wrong people.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: The wrong places. The wrong things. Is a recipe. For disaster. Spiritually.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Mentally. Even physically. You can get sick. You can get sick.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: And then you really gonna need Jesus. Jesus. Let's get
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: into it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus sends his 12 apostles to tell God's message. Mark
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: chapter 6 verse 7 states, Jesus asked his 12 apostles
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to come to him. He started to send them out
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to tell God's message to people. He sent them out
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: two by two and he gave them authority over bad spirits.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Jesus told the disciples, only take a stick for the journey,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: nothing else.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Do not take any bread or a bag. Do not
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: take any money in your pockets.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Why was Jesus sending his disciples out on this journey
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to spread the message and telling them to bring nothing?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: He was showing them that watch how God provides. As
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you are connected to the divine. Having that power of authority.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Over bad spirits. Would attract what they needed. The daily
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: bread right. Going into these villages. Not everybody will accept you.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: But there will be people along your journey.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: That will help you. And that's what Jesus was explaining.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Wear shoes. Do not take extra clothes. In each town,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: stay at the first house that you go into. Continue
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to stay there until you leave that town. Perhaps you
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: might go to a town where the people do not
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: accept you. They will not listen to you. So you
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: should leave that town. Clean the town's dirt off your feet.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Then it will be clear that they have done something wrong.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: This is deep.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And what stands out to me in the spirit is
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: leading me.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Where people do not accept you. They will not listen
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: to you. And that's why respect is a very major
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: key component. In business. In friendships. In relationships. Because.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: If there is no respect. Then there's no intersect. There's no.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Actual.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It's transactional almost in some aspects. And that's the society
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that we kind of live in today. And no matter what,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: we have to realize that not every place is going
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to accept us.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: And that's okay. Don't waste your time on the people, places,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: and things that don't respect you. And they don't listen.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: So as we almost get close to closing out, I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: want everybody to know that the best is yet to come.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: God is doing some marvelous things with the Ember Show.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And I see it. And I see where I am
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: being able to reach other countries. And I just want
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to thank each and every one of you that is
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: listening to continue to help support not only The Ember Show,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: but God's kingdom.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: God gets the glory. Jesus, Holy Spirit. This is The
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Ember Show, your host, Ember.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Thank you for pressing play, and I hope that you
