Nature Hurts · Outcast

0:36
All right, God bless you. Thank you for those that have
0:38
been listening. Those are the new welcome.
0:41
Amen. Before we start, we always pray.
0:44
So, Lord, thank you so much for allowing us to be here, guide
0:51
us, and lead us into the absolute truth, for there's no
0:53
one greater than you. Amen.
0:56
Amen. Wow, what a storm today, right?
1:00
Yeah. Did you see the the post that I
1:02
sent you on on on Instagram? Well, it was.
1:09
It was an actual tornado. Wait, really?
1:12
Yeah, dude. Was there by where I live.
1:15
Actually, it was in in like people.
1:21
People were able to see it from Caldwell.
1:22
Wow, Wes Caldwell. Yeah, people were able to see it
1:26
from Wes Caldwell and, and, and because technically it was in,
1:30
it was in Wow in Pine Brook. Oh wow, do you see that?
1:37
No way. Yeah, dude.
1:39
Dude, actually. Yeah, it was trying to form and
1:42
it was going to be a big one if it actually formed.
1:44
Really. Yeah.
1:48
Yeah, dude, dude. I think it looks.
1:50
Huge. Yeah, well, it's huge.
1:52
But yeah, so do you see? Right.
1:54
Wow. People caught it because in
1:56
certain areas, it wasn't like where we were, it was pouring.
2:01
No, it was. But like, and yeah, like in
2:04
areas like Madison, there's nothing there.
2:07
Wow. Yeah, because where we were
2:10
Walmart like. We we weren't that far off from
2:12
Pine Brook. No, we, we, we weren't.
2:14
Yeah, 'cause it at Walmart, the lights went off and everything.
2:17
Yeah, you saw that right? Yeah.
2:19
Isn't that crazy? Yeah, man.
2:20
That's crazy, but you know, it's interesting 'cause like when the
2:23
power goes off, like there's this form of like peace, isn't
2:26
that weird? Like it's so relaxing or it's
2:29
just silent. I don't know if it's playing.
2:31
I just said word. Yeah, something new 'cause we're
2:36
so. What it what it felt like was
2:40
not that I'm trying to be all like down Abbey or anything like
2:42
that, but not that, but like morbid, right?
2:49
Like when that happened in my head, I was like, word, you
2:53
know? Well, you got to keep your cool.
2:57
Others might get nervous. Yeah.
2:59
My scream. You know what's going on?
3:02
That's how I saw. I don't know.
3:04
Not for me. It was like it was relaxing
3:06
because when the power shuts off and I just hear the rain, the
3:09
Thunder, everything. No, it it was a heavy storm.
3:13
It was a heavy storm, dude. Yeah, No, the rain is
3:16
interesting because it's it's, it's intense, but beautiful at
3:20
the same time. Yeah, You know, people don't
3:25
realize that you can go on like on Google Images or just social
3:32
media and see nature, pictures of nature.
3:34
You know, people take pictures of volcanoes.
3:38
There's people who who drive their planes through hurricanes.
3:42
They're built for that. Oh, really?
3:44
Yeah. There's storm catchers that, you
3:46
know, like, there's cars built to go through a tornado.
3:50
Oh yeah, yeah, because. They're so fascinated, but what
3:54
they see, and I believe nature is beautiful.
4:01
Yeah. Animals.
4:05
Back in the day, my favorite thing to do was to watch Animal
4:07
Planet or Discovery Challenge. Oh yeah.
4:09
Yeah. You know, yeah.
4:11
It was just interesting. You were just memorized.
4:13
Yeah. But you know, nature and the
4:19
animal Kingdom can be or is hostile.
4:22
Yes to. Us 'cause we're so vulnerable,
4:25
right? Any little thing can break us,
4:27
right? Yeah.
4:29
And as a believer, God created all things.
4:32
He did. You know, there's someone in
4:36
social media that said that, you know, that in Scripture says
4:39
that we were created to to have dominion over all the animal
4:44
Kingdom. He was like, yeah, but that's
4:46
when we were when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden,
4:49
right? Once they were out, that wasn't
4:51
the case anymore, right? You know what I mean?
4:54
Yeah. Yeah.
4:54
No. Then when Noah's Ark, remember
4:56
we read that then the animals then will fear you because you
4:59
will now kill to eat. And so they will see that and
5:03
then a fear will enter them. So just as much as like animals
5:08
do run away from us, not because they're scared, but they just
5:11
don't know what it is. Whatever you know, but also too
5:15
in the animal Kingdom, if we're threatening, the hostility they
5:21
show to us can be very lethal. Yeah.
5:24
So what I'm by what I'm saying by this is like God's wondering
5:26
glory is hostile. And it's evident because you see
5:31
it in in in nature itself. Yeah, you do.
5:35
You're not going to go get close to a tornado.
5:37
No, no, but. From far distance, it's it's
5:40
amazing. Yeah.
5:42
You're not going to go like near a huge lightning shower.
5:46
Right. Because it could kill you, yeah,
5:48
but from a distance. It's beautiful.
5:50
It's. Incredible.
5:51
Yeah. Like just recently I was flying.
5:54
This one was from Panama to to JFK, which was a fairly smooth
5:59
ride. There was some turbulence, but
6:00
not not this one. We see from a distance a huge
6:05
storm, and you see the storm cloud with the lightning, and
6:07
we're like going around it. It was so amazing.
6:10
But if the plane goes there, you're definitely dropping 4 or
6:14
500 feet immediately, right? Lose control.
6:16
It's hostile, right? Yeah.
6:18
So God's creation then the animal Kingdom can become or are
6:29
hostile. You're not going to go swim in a
6:31
pool of sharks, are you? No, no, definitely.
6:33
You're not going to go test a blue whale or a humpback whale.
6:37
No, I definitely. Crush you.
6:38
Yeah. So.
6:40
But they're amazing to see. Now there is animals that you
6:46
can domesticate or get close to pet.
6:49
Maybe a giraffe. You know, a giraffe can turn on
6:52
you. Yeah.
6:52
Or maybe an elephant. But it can turn on you.
6:55
Turn on you. But because they've been
6:56
confined to a certain a zoo or whatever, and they were taken
7:02
from a infancy and they grow to know you, that doesn't mean they
7:06
want to give their back. There have been some stories
7:09
where. Yeah, years ago, I don't know if
7:12
you ever heard of chimpanzee just ripping the.
7:14
Oh yeah, the face of an old lady.
7:16
Yeah, right. No, I've heard stories.
7:18
Yeah, I've seen stories. So like, even dogs.
7:22
Everybody loves dogs and cats. Oh.
7:24
I've seen some stuff, yeah. But there's some dogs that that
7:26
that can turn on you or or your dog never ever bites anybody.
7:31
And all of a sudden, it took that one time.
7:35
Yeah, You know what I mean? So as beautiful as it is,
7:38
whether that be hurricane storm, tornadoes, volcanoes,
7:43
earthquakes, tsunamis, from a distance it all sounds amazing,
7:49
but at, at it, at it's proximity, it's hostile and
7:54
lethal and yeah, dangerous and sudden death.
7:58
Yeah, right. So that's just in nature
8:01
physically. Right.
8:03
That's God's glory at it's finest.
8:07
Yeah, it can destroy us right now imagine his actual glory
8:11
right outside of his room. It was interesting that you
8:14
brought that up. Yeah, yeah.
8:16
No, it's true. I mean, his, his glory is very
8:19
intense. I mean, what's it called?
8:22
When Moses went up to the mountain to go speak to God, You
8:26
know, he came back all radiating and, and God was like, cover
8:31
your face, 'cause you are radiating right now.
8:34
And when Paul speaks about this corruptible body changing into
8:39
this uncorruptible body, they came.
8:42
But it makes sense why he's I'm perishable.
8:46
Yeah. It it makes sense why he
8:48
describes it that way, because when we are in front of God, his
8:52
presence is so strong, so powerful, Then it makes sense
8:55
why Paul is like our body will change into this so we can stand
8:59
before the presence of God because truth be told, I mean,
9:03
who knows how far? Oh, when, when Moses, when when
9:07
Moses asked, can I see you? All he got was.
9:10
Only his back. Only his back now if we were to
9:13
witness oh, and even then hold on even then the angels the what
9:18
are the angels that that say holy, holy oh the.
9:20
The. Like the six wings, the.
9:23
The pharaoh, the I would say it's the.
9:27
It's the creatures with the four, the, the, the, the lion,
9:30
the face, the. Yeah, yeah.
9:31
And we cover their their with their face, their legs.
9:34
And yeah, I think those are the the cherubs or the Pharaohs or
9:39
the Seraphims or the Cherubs. Right, Right.
9:43
Yeah. So even even those beings, they.
9:47
Cover. They cover themselves, those
9:48
God. Right.
9:49
Yeah. And they're majestic, majestic
9:51
beings. We're just here on earth.
9:53
So yeah, God's glory, that within itself can also be
9:58
intense as well. Simultaneously, we only get a
10:02
taste of like His presence and you know, the Holy Spirit
10:05
interceiving for us and all this stuff.
10:07
But to witness His glory on that day, I know for a fact will be
10:12
some somewhat intense. If lightning already itself
10:15
feels intense and rain itself feels intense, I can imagine His
10:18
glory being presented unto us. Have a just think about this
10:24
perspective. I'll give you perspective.
10:27
Supposedly we have the Shroud of the Shroud of Turn.
10:31
I think it's what it's called the the shroud in which he was
10:34
covered in the burial. Oh.
10:36
OK. Yeah, yeah.
10:38
And no one can like no one can replicate it to possible they've
10:50
tested it, they don't know what it is.
10:53
And it shows of someone who got crucified has been examined,
10:57
right. It shows the technology that we
11:01
have when a, a camera takes a picture or radiation or when
11:05
you're in front of a X-ray, it left.
11:09
It's, it's almost like light went through it and it left an
11:12
imprint of what was there, right?
11:13
Like radiation does that right, right.
11:16
Have that in mind. Radiation could have been the
11:19
only thing that radiated out of there.
11:21
If that's true, if that in fact is true, what they say, which I
11:26
believe the sun itself is all radiation, right?
11:32
And we don't even get the full force of it because the
11:34
atmosphere kind of filters out all that radiation.
11:37
We only get UV, right? The last bit of it, right.
11:40
And still we get a tan, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:43
That's just the residue. Yeah.
11:45
And we still get damaged. And that's just.
11:47
The sun. The sun.
11:48
Yeah, right. So if God created that, imagine,
11:55
imagine God. Oh, him himself, like that I am.
11:58
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.
12:00
And and and and how we are he has he has to destroy.
12:07
Us. No, he.
12:07
He won't even destroy it just to happen.
12:10
Yeah, it would just make so much sense why he would, you know,
12:14
and it makes sense. That's just some perspective,
12:16
yeah, yeah. Yeah, right.
12:18
No, I mean, it makes so much sense.
12:19
I mean like when, when we come to Christ and then we become
12:24
this new creature and we have this, you know, new body, it
12:27
makes so much sense why we would be the ones witnessing his glory
12:29
'cause we have this new body. And the ones that never accepted
12:32
Christ and all that, they would be the ones perishing or, you
12:36
know, 'cause I lost my train of thought here.
12:41
But no, it'll, it just makes sense bro.
12:45
Like why God sent his Son to save us from himself?
12:51
Because he's a holy God. That's the whole reason why he's
12:54
has something to save us from himself.
12:56
Right, exactly and. People don't really understand
12:58
that or talk about that really. Though when God pours out his
13:07
wrath, or Christ pouring out his wrath to all the nations, all
13:11
the angels are glorifying him for.
13:12
Right. It's like he's pouring out his
13:14
glory, right? It's because they're.
13:16
Glory. It's Wrath because I mean, if
13:19
you're not on the side of it that he's in, well, right from
13:22
the opposite side, it's Wrath. It's Wrath, yeah.
13:25
From that side, where you are, it's glory, yes.
13:28
Power and yes. Yes.
13:30
You know what I mean? Yeah, 100% so.
13:32
Like of the flood, it's power and wonder.
13:34
Yeah, right. And that's just physical nature.
13:37
That's not even in that realm, right.
13:42
So the the the the fact that you brought that up because what
13:48
happened today, because it was pretty intense, right?
13:53
When God reveals, you know, task that he gives us that be a
13:58
mission or certain task or things that he wants you to work
14:02
on for the betterment of your spiritual life.
14:04
Yeah, you know, take them, don't take them lightly because I
14:08
speak from from experience, right?
14:11
Sometimes you can be past due. Yes.
14:14
And we're, we're talking about a fierce creator.
14:20
Now there's someone you need to fear.
14:22
But you know, it's like it's got to do it.
14:27
Yeah. So keep that in mind that when
14:31
you speak to the to, to, to to the Holy Spirit, to God, you're
14:37
talking to the one who created the universe, who controls the
14:40
winds, who controls everything that you can possibly imagine,
14:47
yes, on on earth and in nature. And that's not, I'm not not like
14:53
fear mongering or manipulating, but you give me an understanding
14:57
of, of who your creator is, who is that you serve?
15:00
You should know what you're serving.
15:01
Yeah, you're serving your father, but also a king.
15:04
Not just a king, but also a creator.
15:06
Not also the creator, but the source of all things.
15:09
Yeah. Amen.
15:11
Amen. He is the source of life,
15:14
absolutely, because he's not tethered to anything.
15:17
He's the one that gives life. So he's beyond of what you even
15:21
think or what we all think. So witnessing that rain today,
15:26
all that, I mean, to me it's it's beautiful because that's
15:33
just but a taste. I like the cold.
15:37
I don't like the cold. I don't know how you like it.
15:39
Man, I don't like the heat. Really.
15:42
Don't like it? No.
15:44
But but the heat can also harm you just as much that as the
15:50
cold can also harm you, right? Do you know what I mean?
15:52
Yeah, absolutely. Like even temperature can harm
15:54
you. Yeah.
15:56
If it's too cold, you can reach hypothermia.
15:58
If it's too high, you can have a heat stroke, Right?
16:00
You know what I mean? Yeah.
16:01
Like this world that he did us a favour.
16:06
And being in here right Did us a favour.
16:11
It is hostile to us. It is right?
16:14
Yeah, 'cause. It yeah, every little thing
16:18
causes damage to us. And we are also hostile to the
16:23
to the animals. We are.
16:25
We're barbaric. Anywhere we go, we destroy.
16:27
Yeah. Any path we cross, it's it's,
16:30
you know, we destroy. Yeah, we are.
16:31
We are. Yeah, we.
16:32
Do that. It's just, it's what we are.
16:35
But that's just that. But like what you said, he sent
16:39
his son, he sent his word. Mm hmm.
16:43
His word. He sent his word to come and
16:47
become flesh of sin. Yes.
16:50
To die because of our sinful acts.
16:53
Yeah, exactly. Amen.
16:55
To let sin know, hey, listen, you're still, you're still
17:00
taking the flesh. But what's in there?
17:03
You're not taking it. You're not going to take it.
17:06
Amen. Yep. 100%.
17:09
So yeah, for all those who don't have anything to say in their
17:17
prayer to God, there's so many things you can glorify him with
17:20
so many things When you address yourself to, to, to the Lord,
17:26
tell the Holy Spirit he can intercede for you.
17:28
He will intercede for. You right.
17:30
Amen. Absolutely.
17:31
If you have no words how to describe what you're feeling or
17:36
what you want to say, the Holy Spirit will do it.
17:38
Yes, he will intercede for you. He.
17:40
Will intercede for you, for He is the Spirit, yes of of of the
17:46
Father. Yes, and he is to our benefit
17:49
because Christ said it is for your benefit that I leave.
17:52
Yeah, it's our advantage that Christ would leave, and then so
17:55
he can send us a counsellor who would convict us.
17:57
Yeah, of sin, righteousness and judgement.
18:01
Yes, Amen. So that being said, for the next
18:07
episode, God will lead us to what we need to talk about.
18:10
Yeah, I believe we had an episode called Threefold and we
18:14
were going to talk about, you know, a little bit more in depth
18:16
in regards to wisdom, scripture and fasting, but not before we
18:23
even get to that. There is kind of like an in
18:24
between where like how that looks like if you do it for your
18:28
own benefit. Yes, while you're walking.
18:30
Yeah. And thinking in the flesh, which
18:33
is possible. I know it sounds ridiculous, but
18:35
it's something that sadly and unfortunately, some believers
18:40
do. Right?
18:41
Yes. Yes.
18:42
And we're here to clarify that, to help come out of that pool.
18:47
You know what I mean? Yeah.
18:48
Absolutely. We'll talk about it very deeply
18:51
and it just makes sense why God says that He will put us through
18:55
that fire for the approval of our faith because truth be told,
19:00
there are those that pray fast, read scripture, walking and
19:04
thinking in the flesh. And it's for it is for you to
19:08
learn. It's for not, you know, anyone
19:11
hearing to learn, right? But if you pass, awesome.
19:15
But next episode we'll talk about it more in depth.
19:18
Great. Alright, so thank you, Father,
19:19
for this once again opportunity to speak about your wonders,
19:25
Your glory, Your power, everything that you created, the
19:28
stars, the skies, testify over your glory.
19:32
Everything that we see that's nature, testify of who You are.
19:37
Sometimes we need evidence to believe in You, but You've
19:40
placed everything so that we can see.
19:44
You've placed the sun, something that brights bright in the day,
19:47
in the moon, that shines at night, made everything so
19:51
perfect, so in harmony that even yet we don't understand, and we
19:57
try to understand as much as we can, and we glorify and we thank
19:59
you for this opportunity. Not just that, but we also thank
20:03
you, Holy Spirit, that you intercede for us.
20:05
We sometimes don't know how to express ourselves and you know,
20:10
because you search the mind and you don't do that on your own
20:16
account, but what you do of the Son and the Father.
20:19
And thank you, Amen. Until the next one, guys.
