Pod cast, thank you for having me.
1:36
It's a pleasure to be here. Walk a me in the audience into
1:40
some of these Supernatural. Encounters you had.
1:43
How did you start off going down this unique path that you've
1:46
been on? Well, when I was younger, I had
1:48
a friend who spoke to me about God, and I just, I just always
1:52
kind of felt like, you know, God is real, but it wasn't until
1:57
2010 that I was saved. You know, I thought I was a
2:00
Christian, but basically growing up, it's just, you know, my
2:03
family had a past with demonic occurrences.
2:09
You know, people, my family played with the Ouija board,
2:11
they would be harassed by demonic stuff.
2:14
And I grew up in that house. I believe, right around when
2:18
that stuff stopped. You know, I live with my mom
2:21
said my family and we all lived in a big house together.
2:24
And so, I, I would hear these stories.
2:27
I would see the effects of some of this stuff and so it just got
2:31
me kind of fascinated in that but it wasn't until 2010.
2:36
Like I said, that I got saved. I'm sure people.
2:39
My testimony before but basically got God, God was
2:43
giving me an ultimatum. He was he was no longer letting
2:46
me get by not choosing sides. And, you know, I broke my arm.
2:51
I was working at Medieval Times dinner and tournament place
2:53
where, you know, you swordfight jobs and do all that.
2:56
So I was actor and stuntman but I was I was skating somewhere
3:00
and I fell and broke my arm and I skated for years and no real
3:04
injuries and except this time. I broke my arm and it shattered
3:09
and the whole bone completely shattered in one spot.
3:11
So the arm was just hanging and I could not do my job and I was
3:16
out of work for a year. So in that A year, you know, my
3:21
whole identity was tied into my job and it got shattered
3:24
instantly and I was left with just me and my sin and God and
3:31
so I was struggling for a while with it.
3:33
You know, I want to stay in the world, you know, things got
3:35
worse and worse. But basically I heard a still
3:39
Small Voice one time and I don't know if this was an angel the
3:42
Holy Spirit. It doesn't really matter.
3:44
It was it was from the good side, you know, I heard this
3:47
voice tell me play bass. Just like that just play bass
3:51
and I was I was like what? Like I was listening to music at
3:54
the time and this voice kind of just spoke over that or with
3:59
that. So it wasn't my thought.
4:01
It wasn't anything else. I was listening to but so I had
4:04
friends that played in a band and I was like, hey, this is
4:08
gonna sound weird, but I want to join the band.
4:10
I want to play bass and like, okay, we'll go into this guy's
4:13
Bible study because he might sign us and he he's actually a
4:17
pastor. So he wants to know the real
4:18
Christian and I was like, oh, I'm a Christian.
4:20
Yeah, I'll go. But I wasn't actually a crash.
4:22
I wouldn't say I found that out later.
4:24
So day, the day before, I'm going to go to this Bible study,
4:27
which I would end up being saved that the day before I would go
4:30
and keep in mind, my hand. I had very low function in my
4:34
hand. I have muscles.
4:35
It still haven't fully developed back to, you know, the size of
4:38
the other hands muscles because I shattered my arm.
4:41
So playing bass was like the worst possible time to play
4:45
bass. When my right arm was basically
4:48
not that. Functional.
4:50
But anyways, so the night before I go to this thing.
4:53
I'm sleeping over at a friend's house and I'm laying in bed.
4:57
And I'm on my side because I have to sleep on my side because
4:59
my arm and then I slowly feel something kind of pulling me to
5:05
my back just very subtle. And I was like, I was like, man,
5:09
what's going on? And it was, it was weird.
5:12
And so I've been, I didn't know it was so then I screwed myself
5:16
back over and then it started happening.
5:19
Again, house. I was kind of like tripped out
5:21
like an interesting interested way.
5:23
Like, am I just like half asleep?
5:24
Already weird. So then I one more time I fix
5:29
myself and it started happening again.
5:30
And I was like, I'm just gonna let happen and when I let it
5:34
happen, this Force slammed me on my back and suck all the air out
5:40
of my body. My mind, my lungs, basically,
5:43
and it was felt like somebody had like a wooden board over my
5:45
whole body and slamming to the bed.
5:49
And now the second that happened, I Heard a Voice from
5:52
the other side Sookie. So I had heard the Holy Spirit
5:55
or an angel speak, you know, it was very soft.
5:58
Almost. It was, it was it wasn't week.
6:02
It was just soft and just like play bass.
6:06
This voice, though. This voice was incessant.
6:09
It was like a, like a birds pecking.
6:11
Like aggressive that that kind of when you get a picture of a
6:13
bird, pecking, a tree incessantly, it's that kind of
6:16
fat. That's the voice was like that.
6:18
It was like, And it said this, it said your arms never going to
6:22
get a better going to get better.
6:23
You're never going to be able to do your job.
6:24
Again. Your girlfriend's going to
6:25
leave. You should just kill yourself.
6:27
And it was all in my ear. As I'm being pinned to the bed
6:31
and I'm like, what? Because I because you don't pick
6:35
like if nobody's ever had anything like this happen.
6:37
That's my exact feeling when it happened.
6:39
I didn't have anything like this happen.
6:40
I was familiar with some stuff, but I didn't have personal
6:43
experiences. But then this this voice just
6:46
went out and said all those things.
6:48
And I remember, I didn't know what to do.
6:50
I was stuck there for a while and then it, finally let me up.
6:53
And I was at my friend's house and I sat up and I just remember
6:56
this Terror and then when I felt it, leave I had this thought
7:00
that I'll never forget. I thought to myself, this means
7:04
everything I read in the Bible is real because I saw the dark
7:08
side and I felt it and I knew, I knew it was demonic.
7:12
Once it stopped. I knew it was demonic.
7:15
And then I was like, this means everything is real and it was
7:18
just this moment of like the only I can compare it to.
7:20
So we comparison. But, you know, in the in the
7:23
force awakens wire like Harrison Ford says the force Luke
7:28
Skywalker, all this stuff. It's all real.
7:30
When he tells Ray. It's a week movie, but still
7:33
the, the example works, but it was just this moment of
7:36
everything is real. So then I had to tell my friend
7:39
what happened and his mom's not a believer in it was
7:41
embarrassed. It was embarrassing.
7:42
But I was like, I can't not say this.
7:44
I would be going against God if I didn't say this, so I told
7:49
them and then it start from there.
7:50
A series of demonic things kept happening to me until I learned
7:53
how to deal with it. You know, I you use Jesus name
7:55
one time, something slam me on my back and Arch my back.
7:58
And it felt like a claw on my chin and just pinning me
8:02
backwards the to the bed and all I could muster was just cheap
8:06
days. It's like that.
8:08
Just that a gasping. Jesus is name and it just
8:12
stopped right away. And so that kind of cemented the
8:19
reality of the supernatural realm with me.
8:22
But from then I, you know, there was times where I back, slid
8:24
kept sinning doing all this stuff but around, maybe like, I
8:29
want to say five or so years ago, maybe like, I don't know,
8:31
somewhere around there. I'm not too good with the
8:33
timeline. I just remember, 2010.
8:35
I got saved but around, let's say four or five years ago.
8:40
I got really serious with it. I began to realize.
8:43
Okay. Your life is inconsistent with
8:46
what you what you believe and you can't keep going on this
8:49
way. You're not fulfilled in anything
8:50
you do because you're not doing it God's way.
8:53
So I got serious with it. And then, you know, the I'll
8:57
skip over the whole testimony of what God did get me.
9:01
My wife and to move me to Missouri because that's a whole
9:04
other thing. But I've shared that so many
9:06
times. I want to, I want to give you a
9:08
different perspective, basically something new.
9:10
But when it came to actually getting into the realm of
9:13
speaking about this stuff, If you know, I was in a really
9:16
oppressive situation and me my wife for there and I just felt
9:22
like I need to write a book. I don't know why I need to write
9:25
something down. It was originally going to be a
9:27
fiction book. I had this whole thing planned.
9:29
I actually mapped out. I think maybe like seven books
9:33
mapped out a series. My wife helped me but it was
9:35
going to be this fiction thing. And then when I started writing
9:37
it, I just felt God. God directing it a different
9:41
way. Just it turned into something
9:43
completely different. And so I talked to my wife and
9:47
she's like, you know, we're running out of money.
9:50
You need to get a job, you know, these people aren't paying us.
9:53
So, you know, what are we going to do?
9:55
And I was like, I really feel like God wants me to write this
9:57
book and this is like a beautiful example of biblical
10:00
submission because everything was pointing to this being a bad
10:04
idea, but I felt from God, that that this is what I'm supposed
10:08
to do. And so my wife was like, well,
10:11
how long do you need? And I was like until it's done.
10:14
And she's We can't, we will run out of money and said, I'm like,
10:17
okay. Well well like maybe three
10:20
months and then she's like she's like, no, like we don't have
10:25
enough money to last three months.
10:26
And I was like, I was like a man and I was starting to get like
10:30
not to press but kind of bummed out like an assassin going to
10:32
happen and then she's like, how about one month, you do this,
10:36
and then whatever you don't finish in a month.
10:38
You just finish. As you're looking for a job and
10:40
I was like, okay. Okay, so she asked me she's like
10:43
before we do this. You feel like this is from God?
10:47
And I was like, yes, and then she's like, the last thing I'll
10:49
ask you is, do you feel like this is the best thing for our
10:51
family? And I said, yes, and then I
10:55
started writing this book as I was still working, you know,
10:58
without pay, but working eight hour days and then I finished it
11:03
on the 31st day, exactly. On the 31st day.
11:06
I finished it. The word priest mindset.
11:09
And so it was a total God thing. And then another reason why I
11:13
know is because I'm writing a second book now.
11:15
And it is not going quick at all.
11:18
So if anybody thinks like ho Drew's just click at writing.
11:21
It's like, no. No, he's not.
11:24
But that was a perfect example of submission because she she
11:29
did not want to do that. But she saw, okay.
11:33
I trust my husband. I believe he's being led by God
11:36
and even if he's he may be mistaken.
11:38
His heart is after God. So I will I'm going to honor
11:43
that and go with him and then God honored that and turn and
11:45
then the books at there though, for months, the book just sat
11:49
there. Nothing happened with it.
11:50
I learned how to how to you know format the interior of the book.
11:53
Added it. I did.
11:56
I just did everything to get it, ready.
11:58
And then I was like, you know what, I'm going to make this
12:00
YouTube channel to talk about stuff and maybe eventually to
12:02
talk about the book and that's when I made the radical
12:04
Christian Channel. And again, it was, it was
12:07
something that, you know, man takes his steps, but the Lord
12:10
really determines where they go, see that I'm butchering that
12:12
verse. But, you know, it's for some
12:13
talking about. Yeah, of course.
12:15
Yeah, but the the channel was just going to be about like, you
12:18
know, I'm going to talk about stuff about the book.
12:20
And then the first episode, it just completely went into.
12:23
No, I'm going to talk about everything I've wondered about
12:26
in the Bible as a kid. Everything that's fascinated me
12:29
because before I was officially saved I still was familiar with
12:32
some stuff in the Bible. So no.
12:33
Yeah. I hear the story about the
12:35
nakash, the, the serpent in Genesis, and I'd just be like,
12:39
wow, so why is there a snake here?
12:41
Like that doesn't make sense. I don't believe this and then
12:44
when you study it, you look into it.
12:45
You realize that's a Divine being and you realize that you
12:48
get taken to the Hebrew and It actually uncover that and that
12:51
was my first episode. And so the channel just took off
12:55
in that direction from there. And, you know, at one point,
12:59
Josh Peck message me on Facebook and he's like, hey man, I have a
13:03
really interesting opportunity for you.
13:06
Or he said something to that to that like he's like, hey, man, I
13:09
want to talk to you about about maybe joining up together and I
13:12
had just gotten out of a situation that wasn't the best
13:14
and and the thought of, you know, joining up with somebody
13:17
else. I was like man, I don't know now
13:19
as I'll just go meet him. So mean My wife prayed about it.
13:21
We felt peace. And then we went and we met with
13:23
Josh Peck. And he Josh Beckham's guy, watch
13:26
TV. He is an awesome Godly person.
13:30
He is such a cool person. He's one of the best friends
13:32
I've ever had. So I met him, then it just came
13:36
up. He's like, yeah.
13:37
I wanted to try publishing a book at one point just to see,
13:39
you know, if I'd be able to and I was like, well, I wrote a
13:41
book. He's like, what do you mean
13:42
things? Like, I have an idea.
13:43
I was like, no, it's done. It's formatted.
13:45
It's finished. And he's like well, dude, let's
13:48
publish it. And I was like, are you serious?
13:51
He's like, yeah, so as I was They're the first time meeting
13:55
him. We get a call from this
13:57
conference and it was somebody saying, hey, so-and-so cancelled
14:02
from the conference. Do you know, anybody you could
14:04
suggest and Josh was like, Hey, I have this guy with me right
14:08
now. And I've looked at his channel.
14:10
He's the logically sound, you know, he has, he has great
14:12
stuff. He loves the Lord, you should
14:14
try this guy. And so he, I talked to the
14:17
pastors and Pastor Jeff Forster. He's like, would you be
14:21
interested? And I was like, yeah, so the
14:23
first day meeting, Josh, Peck my book started to get published
14:26
and then I got invited to speak at a conference.
14:29
And so from there, I ended up working at Sky watch and
14:32
everything. But that was just how this this
14:35
strange path that led to me being in this position.
14:38
I'm in. And the thing is the one thing I
14:40
would say to anybody who, who cares about this stuff or who is
14:44
wondering what God will have in store for their life?
14:46
Is you just be faithful in the little things because there was
14:49
countless hours where I was just toiling away at my episodes and
14:54
like 12 pages of notes, 14, pages of notes, for one episode.
14:58
And I was just thinking, like, if this just helps one person,
15:02
then it's all worth it. And so I just kept doing it.
15:05
And there was times when I'm just like, man, this is, this is
15:07
so much time on putting into this.
15:09
And, you know, I don't know if this is really helping people
15:11
and then I'd get a comment from somebody.
15:14
The video would get maybe like, like 50 views, and then
15:17
eventually, like 200 was the big number for me and then I'd get
15:22
somebody said, man. I really needed this.
15:23
Thank you so much. Our man.
15:25
This is really cool. I really had these questions.
15:27
So it just kept me even to this day going on with the channel
15:30
moving forward with things and I never wanted to be a speaker or
15:35
really an author really anything but you know from from doing
15:41
each step Faithfully. It kind of led me into this
15:44
position and who knows where it will go next.
15:48
But, but it did main thing I could say to people, to be
15:50
faithful in the little things. There's a lot of flavor in that
15:54
testimony. And you're right.
15:56
It's critical to be faithful in the little things.
15:59
If we're expecting greater things to come our way.
16:03
Also, those who are the sons of God are led by the spirit of
16:06
God. Exactly.
16:08
And when it comes to be led by the spirit of God, at least for
16:10
me, sometimes that can be difficult.
16:12
Because for me, you know, I don't always hear the spirit
16:17
clearly. I don't always and it's my own
16:19
thing. It's me being a human.
16:20
It's me. Not not, you know, being a
16:22
diligent as I need to be in that is sometimes just just how it
16:25
is. You know where we're all getting
16:28
an inkling, or I'll get like a kind of a notion of just like, I
16:32
feel like I should do this, you know, but and then there's other
16:36
times where I know like the Holy Spirit, like, you know, I've had
16:39
times where I'm about to do an interview, and I know that I
16:41
know that I know the holy spirit is going to do something special
16:46
and in the Holy Spirit does that's another thing that people
16:48
get. So, so confused about where it's
16:50
like, well, I'm not hearing the voice of God.
16:53
It's like, yeah, but you're not always going to hear the voice
16:56
of God. You're not always going to be
16:57
inaudible thing. You're not out like for me
16:59
personally. There's been Maybe.
17:03
Around a handful that I can even.
17:05
Remember me less than a handful that I could remember where I
17:08
actually heard something. Two of them did demonic thing,
17:11
the Holy Spirit thing or Angel, whatever it was and then I heard
17:14
another time where it was a correction.
17:17
It wasn't a hey dude. He like I called Mountain Top
17:21
moments where people think their Christian walk is going to be a
17:23
series of God stepping down on top of a mountain and saying you
17:26
are destined to do this this and that and it's like know that
17:31
some people get that and you may get that at some point.
17:33
It's much more about being like him in your everyday, life,
17:38
being like him in in how you treat your spouse.
17:40
You know, if you're married, you have an opportunity every single
17:44
day to act like Jesus because you have, you love your neighbor
17:47
as yourself who's more your neighbor than the person living
17:49
with you, you know another time. I actually heard something it
17:54
was a correction. It was me at Medieval Times.
17:57
The I was jumping off horses for a living and I was on this
17:59
horse. That was just he would just bolt
18:02
you'd have to jump off. And while he was, he was
18:04
cantering, he was running, but he would bolt and go super fast.
18:08
And if you try to hold him back, the second you let go of the
18:11
reins to jump off the horse. He would bolt even quicker.
18:14
So now I was Christian, you know, at this point and I had
18:18
faith and I was like, you know what, God's gonna let me do
18:20
this. God's going to protect me.
18:21
God's Gonna Stop Me. And he did protect me, but I
18:25
didn't complete the stunt. The horse was too fast and I
18:29
just remember, being so frustrated.
18:31
I went up, I went up after I came back from the stunt from my
18:35
fight and I went up into this area and I was mad and it was
18:38
the only time I ever remember being angry, at God, only only
18:41
time some people are angry at God all the time.
18:42
But this is the only time I remember being angry, God, I was
18:45
like, I prayed. I asked you for to do it.
18:48
You didn't do it. And it's like, I'm, I'm like
18:51
going out on faith, you know, I believe.
18:52
But you didn't do. Why why?
18:55
And I was choking up and I was tearing up and I was so
18:58
frustrated and then I just hear this voice say what has he not
19:04
done for you. And then I just break down
19:07
crying and I just I could say nothing else.
19:11
You know, he just says, what has he not done for you.
19:15
So you think of that? And it's like, man, he wrote you
19:17
this whole Bible, he has his words for you in there and it's
19:21
hard to decipher. Sometimes you get really down
19:23
into it, you know, but he does speak to us.
19:27
Now. I've had moments where I had
19:28
those those little voices and stuff or things like that.
19:31
But the majority of it is going off his word.
19:34
So if people are feeling discouraged, like I'm not really
19:36
hearing the voice of the spirit, but what it's like, You may not
19:40
always hear that, you may have to step in faith.
19:43
Four Seasons. You may be correcting you, but I
19:47
don't know. I hope that helped somebody.
19:49
He knows our hearts and that's like to me the details of the
19:53
relationship and that is so beautiful because religion is
19:57
something that I don't know very much about what relationship.
20:00
I desire to know. God will move my heart and God
20:05
correct me and I know it hurts, but be patient with me and be my
20:09
My Abba Father and that's been critical to my wall.
20:12
And another thing real quick, Drew when you're hearing those
20:16
voices that reminds me of where we hear the word angel in the
20:19
Bible. Its moloch, or Angelo's moloch
20:22
is the Hebrew. And Angela says, the brief.
20:24
They're literally angels are messengers and they're sent to
20:28
serve those who will inherit eternity, like to wake up.
20:31
Even more to the fact that the God of all creation, the Lord
20:35
who sits on the throne has a messenger to like help.
20:39
Along this journey, like here. I am at a Breaking Point and a
20:42
voice of just peace and comfort comes through and I think that
20:45
that's amazing. Exactly and that's exactly the
20:48
way I think of it the the fascination you just had over
20:51
it. That's exactly what I think of
20:52
it because you know Angels do have free will and they can
20:56
fall. So what that tells me is they
20:59
have a story with God as well. They are not just these, these
21:04
emotionless soldiers, these emotionless drones just like
21:07
serving God like yes. Master.
21:09
Yes, master and then doing their tasks solemn, and serious and
21:12
all the time. You know, these are these are
21:15
beings who they can fall. They can turn their back on God,
21:18
if they wish to, they have in the past, but the way I see
21:21
them. Now, they are our brothers.
21:26
They're a little different than us their properties.
21:28
Obviously, in their bodies are different.
21:29
But what I mean, is the mentality of someone who is
21:32
constantly around God, like an angel.
21:35
Their mentality is going to be different than ours.
21:37
And this is just me on what I have gathered, you know this.
21:40
So the take this as Drew's kind of musings from Drew's opinions,
21:44
but you know, I look at them now more as just, just a little
21:51
different than us. But but similar, they're also
21:53
imagers of God. They're also supposed to do it.
21:55
He's what he would do. But in the Heavenly realm, so
21:58
thinking that he sent, he sent one speak to me.
22:02
And to guide me in to help me. I just picture, man, he's being
22:05
obedient. To he's just another person
22:07
believing in God, serving God. And in speaking to me and it's
22:12
like, man, will I meet this? Will I meet this messenger?
22:16
Will you speak to me like man? Yeah, you were, you were losing
22:19
it back there. Like, I'm glad I showed up, you
22:22
know, are just like man. I almost didn't show up that
22:24
day. Like I really didn't didn't know
22:25
if I was, you know what? I mean?
22:26
I don't know how that works. You know, that they are his
22:29
Heavenly family. They're not just drones.
22:31
There is Heavenly family and we are as Earthly family different
22:34
limitations, but they are there. They're imperfect, you know, and
22:39
you're 100%, right? Because Angels do have that Free
22:43
Will, and there has been falling.
22:45
See ya. The Apostle Paul is the one who
22:47
says in the Angels who disrobe of their former State, you know,
22:51
we see all these different mentions of angels, literally
22:54
having a free-will like we do like in emotions and that's
22:57
crazy to think about. Yes, and it just man, it gives
23:02
you something even even more to look forward to you, you inherit
23:06
another family, you inherit. These beings, who who have a
23:10
history with God, that goes back before the creation of the
23:14
Earth. And I want to know their
23:17
stories. I want to know what's what
23:18
happened with them. What was it?
23:19
Like when they were made? No, what did God think when you
23:22
made them was? Was he what was it like before?
23:24
Then, you know, this is all stuff that will be great to get
23:27
into, but like you mentioned the three rebellions, it's I can go
23:31
over that real quickly. Yes, please do.
23:34
What a lot of people don't, realize is the fix for all of
23:37
those is there too. So you have the first Rebellion,
23:40
which is the Garden of Eden, it's Genesis 3, and so what
23:43
happened with that is immortality for Once was lost
23:47
and then death entered the world.
23:49
And then man also lost Authority.
23:51
So it's a man gets kicked out of the Divine Council used to walk
23:53
in the cool of the day with God and then he you know, they got
23:57
tricked their immortality was lost.
24:00
You know. Now it now you're going to have
24:01
to die one day, you know, but then what was the fix for that?
24:04
I'll get to the fixes after actually, it's more it's more
24:08
exciting that way. So then the second Rebellion,
24:10
the sons of God take human wives its Genesis 6, so the result
24:14
from that though is they not only took you and why Wives and
24:16
polluted the human genome, but they brought forbidden
24:19
information. So these are the same beings
24:21
were called up khalu, by the Mesopotamians, Anunnaki by the
24:24
Sumerians, you know, and all these other names.
24:27
So, the result was they taught knowledge that lead Humanity
24:32
into depravity. You can see that in first Enoch.
24:34
So they came, they polluted the human genome and they further
24:38
estranged Humanity away from God.
24:40
So whenever they Rebel, they corrupt Humanity, you know, they
24:45
brought this knowledge that Days with us like how to make
24:47
weapons, how to wage war, all these other things, everything
24:51
that pushes us away from God and the third Rebellion, the Tower
24:54
of Babel incident. They wanted to build a false
24:57
amount of assembly. So basically a place where
24:59
Heaven that Earth and the gods could come down and have their
25:04
amount of assembly like, God did on Eden.
25:06
So they want to do that. So what the result from that
25:09
was, God had to disperse, the nation's, he dispersed
25:11
everybody, spread everybody out. And then he put his sons in
25:15
charge over them. You know, he said you want it,
25:17
you want to, you want to go against me?
25:19
You want to unite together to not serve me then you won't.
25:22
You don't have to serve me. You won't.
25:24
I'll put my son's in charge over you and I'm done with you.
25:26
So he did that. So now when we said all of these
25:30
things fractured Humanity, push them further and further away
25:34
from God, you know, and these beings they want to be like God,
25:40
they but they also just want it. They were a lot of them.
25:42
I believe. They want to do their own thing.
25:44
They want to have their own kingdom.
25:45
They want to have their own. Hours that they they are
25:48
bothered that God gets do that and God alone, you know, but the
25:52
fix for these things is what's really great.
25:54
And you see this, this, this behind-the-scenes kind of kind
25:59
of thread that you can uncover. If you dig around you, it's
26:02
once, you know, it it's obvious to see.
26:04
But when you look at how these crucial events in Christian
26:08
history happen, you see what they were for.
26:11
So, so the first Rebellion Garden of Eden immortality loss
26:14
death in terms of world, man loses.
26:16
Ready, the fix was the resurrection of Jesus destroyed
26:19
the power of death. So the prophecy is given in
26:22
Genesis 3, you know are not a yeah in Genesis 3 about, you
26:25
know, the coming King will crush the head of the serpent.
26:28
He'll he'll bruise his heel but he'll crush his head.
26:31
So right there he told what the fix was in the fix was hey death
26:35
entered the world, but my resurrection is going to destroy
26:38
the power of death. You may physically die, but you
26:41
won't eternally dying. I'll fix that.
26:44
Then you go to the second Rebellion.
26:46
Depravity into the world. Now everybody, everybody just
26:50
has this deeper knowledge of sin in this deeper wants to do more
26:54
and so after Jesus did the resurrection.
26:56
After he resurrected he ascended into heaven, after you state, he
26:59
visited with the apostles. He he ascended into heaven and
27:02
left his holy spirit behind, so that Holy Spirit helps fight the
27:06
depravity of the second Rebellion.
27:08
So now you have this, Holy Spirit in you in every believer,
27:10
whether you are baptized in the Holy Spirit or not.
27:12
It's in you he's in you so that spirit inside.
27:16
To use when you encounter depravity the holy spirit will
27:19
let you know. And hey, should you be doing
27:21
this? Dude?
27:22
What do you think? This is right, you know, you
27:25
probably you probably shouldn't do this or hey, I don't feel so
27:28
easy. I don't feel easy being in the
27:30
situation so that face the probably, then when you get to
27:32
the third Rebellion, the tower Babel.
27:34
So all these nations are dispersed.
27:36
They're all serving different gods, you know, inanna Ishtar
27:40
different incarnations of the same God, the Indians are
27:43
serving fish, new. All the Pay the bill Indian
27:47
Pantheon. The Greeks are serving, the
27:49
Greek pantheon, you know, Roman serving.
27:51
Jupiter Mars. Well the fix for that was the
27:53
Great Commission to spread the gospel to reclaim those Nations.
27:58
So they are they're all under the influence of these corrupted
28:02
beings who ended up falling, you know, and then he the Great
28:06
Commission is to reclaim that to get them back under the under
28:11
servitude to God willing servitude.
28:14
So it's like this is part of the stuff that you can research and
28:17
get into and it it shows you the character of God not just
28:22
showing you things that happen and why they happen.
28:24
But it shows you man, he he went to the heart of these issues and
28:29
fix them and then he made those things like the main themes of
28:32
the Bible. So people can even if they don't
28:34
understand the three rebellions, they still understand the Great
28:37
Commission. They still understand the holy
28:38
spirit being left behind and they still understand.
28:40
The resurrection, those three things are taught in churches
28:42
all over how Whether they're you know, superficial churches are
28:46
deep churches. Those three things are taught.
28:49
He doesn't necessarily need them to know the reasons.
28:52
Why those all happened, you know, the three rebellions, but
28:56
it's just, you see his character.
28:58
And you see this loving God, who he's undoing the work of these
29:04
rebellious beings, but he's also letting people decide, you know,
29:09
he's letting people decide so that this step just fascinates
29:12
me. Yeah, very Mating.
29:14
I agree with everything you said this stuff.
29:17
Definitely gets my wheel spinning.
29:19
I could go on and on for hours about this stuff with you.
29:23
This is this is what it's all about.
29:25
It's all about glorifying God's kingdom.
29:27
What is your advice for the listeners?
29:29
What do you think the body of Christ needs to hear at this
29:31
time? When Jesus summed up the great,
29:35
all the Commandments? You know, he didn't say, make
29:39
sure your theology is perfectly sound.
29:41
He didn't say, you know, there's things that you do need to have
29:43
locked in like, who like the identity of God, but he didn't
29:46
say, make sure your theology sound, make sure you expose
29:50
every single false teacher, you know, and those are good.
29:53
Things point is, I think that he's stressed more than anything
29:57
is love God. And from that, you see the
30:01
dangers of idolatry, see the dangers of sorcery stuff like
30:04
that, divination communicating with other beings, you know, he
30:08
just says, love God. And love your neighbor as
30:09
yourself and loving your neighbor as yourself is the
30:13
hardest thing because we're Fallin were selfish and we just
30:17
don't I go around town. I don't interact with anybody.
30:20
Most of the time, I just do my thing and I don't do anything,
30:24
but it's like But then I go online and I make a presentation
30:29
and I focus on. You know, what's my, what's my
30:32
presentation going to be? Like, what am I going to?
30:33
What am I going to say, you know, at this conference, but
30:36
it's like what am I doing in town?
30:39
What am I doing at home, you know, when my wife's needs my
30:42
help with what the project, but I'm like, now, I got to finish
30:45
my presentation first and then I could help you.
30:47
It's like, will hold on a minute.
30:50
What's more important? You know, my wife, my
30:53
relationship that emulates Christ in the The church or
30:56
presentation I do to talk about stuff like the relationship that
31:00
emulates Christ in the church. You know, I think I think all of
31:04
us we know. Oh, yeah.
31:06
I love God. Love your neighbor.
31:08
We know all that. And yeah, like no I get it.
31:10
We need to do the, I'm an agreement, an agreement.
31:12
But as your license agreement, are you actually doing that?
31:16
Are you actually striving to love your neighbor?
31:19
You know, what do you do with your resources?
31:21
Do you use all your money for yourself or do you help people?
31:26
And if you don't think tithing is for today, does that mean you
31:28
don't have to help God's kingdom, you know, it's what are
31:32
you doing? Not to earn anything.
31:35
But if you're a part of a loving family with God, is God, your
31:39
loving father. Wouldn't you want to push
31:42
forward? His agendas to push forward the
31:44
things he wants. If you want to know God's will
31:46
in your life managers for the poor know, God's will I had,
31:48
he's not speaking to me. I just really want to know God's
31:50
will so I can do it. It tells you as well love him
31:54
and love your neighbor as yourself.
31:55
You can turn anything for your projects.
31:58
Your, you know, any anything you may be doing quote unquote for
32:01
the kingdom is not as important as loving your neighbor as
32:05
yourself and loving God. And that's how that's basically
32:07
all it's a. That's all my heart.
32:08
A lot. Lately.
32:09
Drew graffia. Tell everybody where they can
32:12
find your channel in anything that you're involved with.
32:15
Yes. So my book is called The Warrior
32:17
priests mindset. It's about how Christ, you know,
32:21
displayed. It's a warrior and traits of a
32:23
priest and some people think those would contradict, but they
32:25
actually don't know. He showed up as the angel of the
32:28
Lord, the Old Testament, man-of-war.
32:31
Yahweh's, man of war. And then he showed up as
32:33
suffering servant in Jesus, the sacrificial lamb.
32:37
So, my book is available at Sky, watch TV, store.com or
32:41
amazon.com. It's a really fun read.
32:43
There's it's there's fiction before every chapter in a
32:46
medieval setting and then it goes into the chapters.
32:48
But so you can get my book there and then you know, I channels.
32:52
Called The Radical Christian on YouTube.
32:54
Just the last thing man. Just just do whatever excites
32:58
you for the Lord, if you're researching something, you
33:00
think. And this is I'm just researching
33:02
Giants and so-and-so tells me. That's, that doesn't really, it
33:06
doesn't really work. Does it matter for salvation?
33:07
It's like all scripture is good for studying and if it gets you
33:11
closer to the Lord, that's serving the first commandment of
33:15
Jesus, when he said, love God, so that's all.
33:19
So that's it. Everybody.
33:20
That's the show. If you enjoyed this episode and
33:24
you found it helpful and encouraging or just downright,
33:29
cool, share this with a friend it would help the show a lot
33:33
until next time, God Bless America and good enough.
37:01
So there has to be an explanation.
37:04
I know many of you don't know my story.
37:07
That's okay. I'm just happy that you're here
37:11
with the millennial muscle see podcast.
37:14
This goes way back in my heart. The seeds were planted a long
37:19
time ago for me to do what I'm doing today.
37:24
My goal is to get you to take this journey with me.
37:29
As I look into, these strange topics Supernatural, encounters.
37:35
Lights in the skies. Listen, the veil is thinning.
37:40
And the day that we're living in more and more people are waking
37:42
up to the fact that there's something more going on here.
37:47
Once I opened up my Bible and realized I wasted all these
37:51
years sitting in darkness. You see the Bible was that light
37:55
for me, was the light to my feet.
37:58
That revealed that. Every question I ever had could
38:03
be answered, if I would just humble myself, repent of my sins
38:08
and come to the Lord. I'm happy that you're here.
38:13
There has to be an explanation see what the millennial muscle,
38:17
see podcast. I care about the one.
38:22
If I don't love just one person and I'm not willing to look like
38:25
a fool even if it just helps one can.
38:28
I don't know why I'm in this but really I hope to win you guys
38:32
over along this journey, and I'm so happy that you're here.
38:39
You see we all have a unique testimony in a story to bring to
38:41
the table. I'm just thankful.
38:45
That you're willing to listen to mine.
