Yeah, it is technically morning 0:25here. So, yeah.0:26Alrighty. So, you guys can ask your 0:30questions here.0:31You know, we are you know, here to to 0:35obviously focus on the word, focus on 0:37the gospel more than anything, you know,0:40but you guys can ask your questions. I 0:42ask that you please listen because I'm 0:44going to be answering things 0:46foundationally for everybody. So, hope 0:48you guys are doing good.0:50Hi Pastor. Hello. Hello. What up Pastor?0:52Yours crazy. Hello Pastor. I apologize 0:55if you've answered this before, but 0:56could you please talk about Romans 15:16 0:59and where it says being sanctified? Yes.1:01Yes. Yes. Absolutely. So,1:04when you look at Romans 15:16, you have 1:07to understand the context here. He's 1:09ministering to obviously the Gentiles.1:11So, when you pull up that scripture, I 1:13don't know it verbatim right now off 1:15top, but he's talking about him being a 1:17minister of Jesus Christ to the 1:19Gentiles. He's ministering the gospel 1:22and he's offering it to the Gentiles so 1:24that they will accept it being 1:26sanctified by the Holy Ghost. So,1:30God Paul is describing this kind of 1:33God-given role, right, to the non-Jews,1:35which is the Gentiles. And what he's 1:37doing is, you know, he's basically 1:39giving them like kind of 1:41evangelical work, right? What that means 1:44is instead of mentioning lambs and grain 1:47offering and whatever,1:48he's talking about his offering as the 1:50people, right? So, Gentiles who have 1:53believed the gospel,1:55right? But then it says might be 1:57acceptable, right? That part is 1:59important, right? Not [clears throat]2:00their works, not their behavior, not 2:02their lineage, they're acceptable.2:05Understand what I'm saying? Right? It 2:07means and you and you read this 2:09scripture, it doesn't actually say to or 2:13being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.2:16It's It's hēgiasmenē,2:19which in Koine Greek is a 2:22perfect passive participle.2:25And what that means is it means the 2:28action, yes, is being done to the 2:31Gentiles.2:32Done.2:33They're getting accepted and but once 2:35they're accepted, it's perfect, meaning 2:37it's already accomplished. And then when 2:39it's accomplished, it has a continuing 2:41effect. That's why there's the being 2:43sanctified part. So, it doesn't say that 2:45they are sanctifying themselves or 2:47proving their worth or it's an ongoing 2:49process. It says they are 2:51They have been sanctified once by the 2:54spirit and that's their definition now,2:56right? So, again, it's a sanctification 2:58of of it's a position of holiness is 3:01what it means. It's not a process of 3:03holiness or process of performance even.3:05So, if you're thinking, you know, oh,3:07you're only sanctified if you behave a 3:08certain way or you're only sanctified if 3:10you do X, Y, and Z. No. No. No. You're 3:12acceptable already. That's because of 3:15the Holy Ghost work. That's literally 3:16what it says, right? When you pull it 3:18up, right? That the offering up of the 3:20Gentiles might be acceptable, right?3:23Acceptable being sanctified by the Holy 3:25Ghost. So, they're accepted already 3:28because of the Holy Ghost is what he's 3:29saying.3:31So, other scripture like 1 Corinthians 3:326:11, Hebrews 10:10 talks about this.3:35Past tense already done. It's the same 3:37thing in 1 Corinthians 6:11. When you 3:39pull it up, such were some of you, but 3:41you are washed, but you are sanctified,3:43but you are justified, right? In the 3:45name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit 3:48of our God.3:49Same thing. It's the same language.3:51Being sanctified by the Holy Ghost,3:53which is the spirit of our God. You're 3:55already sanctified by the spirit of our 3:57God. Understand what I'm saying, right?3:59So, people confuse sanctification 4:02with it being a lifelong process. They 4:04can They're confusing growth, which is 4:06spiritual maturity, with sanctification,4:08which is being made holy. There's a 4:10difference between spiritual maturity 4:12and sanctification being made holy. You 4:14understand? You could be spiritually 4:16mature and still not be holy. Ask people 4:19who are spiritual, but not holy.4:22Understand what I'm saying? People are 4:24confusing the two. Spiritual maturity is 4:26not being made holy because there's 4:28spiritually mature Buddhist. They're not 4:30holy, though. They're not set apart.4:32They're not kadosh.4:34They're not hēgiazomenē. Understand what 4:36I'm saying? Hēgiazō, that comes from 4:39being made holy, separated. They're 4:41They're not set apart.4:43Understand? So, you don't grow from 4:45holiness, right? Uh you don't grow into 4:47holiness. You grow from holiness 4:49basically is what they're saying, right?4:51Again, sanctification is not achieved,4:53it is received, okay? Okay? Do you Do 4:56you Do you guys understand what I'm 4:57saying here, right? So, yeah, that's I I 4:59think people misconstrue 5:02spiritual maturity and behavioral, you 5:04know, maturity,5:06all right, with 5:08behavioral transformation and 5:11holy transformation, meaning 5:13transformed, not just mature where you 5:15quit a couple sins, etc. etc., right?5:18>> [snorts]5:18>> It's It's It's big. It's deep, right? Do 5:20you have a church in Sacramento? We do,5:23but you guys have to like hit us up for 5:25it, right? So, hopefully that answered 5:26your question, brother. I don't know.5:28How do I introduce my How can I 5:30introduce the gospel to my coworkers? Um 5:32through your testimony. How you How you 5:34speak, you know, talking about and being 5:37vulnerable. And And listen, guys, I 5:38understand that it's difficult to be 5:39vulnerable.5:41Uh we all struggle with this.5:42But yeah, I think, you know, being 5:44vulnerable and not being pushy, but just 5:47being honest. And be ready for it, guys.5:50Be ready for it to people to step on 5:51your heart. Be ready for people to 5:54misunderstand you when you say things 5:56like, you know, I was, you know, did 5:58this, did that, you know, smoked, drank,6:01slept around, whatever. You You have to 6:03be ready for it, right? Like when I 6:05would tell people that I was a gang 6:06member, they would look at me sideways.6:08Like, dude, you're a gang member. You're 6:09a murderer. Like, you're you're you're 6:11literally a domestic terrorist in in the 6:13purest form, right? So, did it hurt my 6:15heart? Of course. Does it still hurt my 6:17heart? Yes, right? I would lie if I'm 6:18saying I'm not. It doesn't. But at the 6:20same time, this happens and we also do 6:22this to other people. So, you just have 6:24to realize like it's okay to be 6:26vulnerable. And if you got to be sad 6:28about it, be sad about it, you know? But 6:30at the same time, for every person that 6:33that rejects you, there is also one 6:35person that accepts you, right? So,6:36that's what I've learned. Is that for 6:38every person that rejects me,6:40you know, there's also one person that 6:42accepts me. And the And the true person 6:43that really matters that accepts us is 6:45Jesus Christ.6:47You know, that's that's that's the most 6:49important thing, I would say.6:51Right? Okay.6:53Was just watching the service the 6:55after-service Houston. Amen. Thank you.6:57Success without Jesus is a delayed 6:59failure. Yes. Yes. 100% 100 p.7:02What's the difference between the 7:02kingdom is at hand and heaven? Kingdom 7:05is at hand in heaven. Well, God is not 7:08constrained to time, space, and place.7:09So, when God speaks, he speaks in the 7:11present tense. You know, in heaven 7:13there's no past, present, or future. I 7:15mean, there's no present and there's no 7:16past and future. There's just present,7:18right? So, yeah. It's what it kind of 7:21comes down to here. Okay.7:24Are demons still falling from heaven?7:27No.7:28So, according to scripture, the original 7:32fall of Satan and his angels, the 7:34demons, happened in the past and there 7:36is no biblical evidence that demons are 7:38still falling in heaven in the present 7:40day, right?7:41So, when you look at Luke chapter 10:18,7:45and he said unto them, I beheld sat you 7:46know, that famous verse, and he said 7:48unto them, I beheld Satan as a lightning 7:49fall from heaven,7:51right? As lightning fall from heaven,7:54right? I saw him. I saw him. I beheld,7:57right? Jesus refers to Satan's fall as 8:00as like a event that already occurred 8:03essentially, right? So, yeah. And And 8:06the same thing with My gosh, man, the 8:08scripture cuz I don't talk about this a 8:09lot, so it's Revelation 12:4, where he 8:12talks about his tail being drawn in 8:14three part of the stars of heaven,8:16right? The third part of the stars of 8:17heaven, right? Which means a third of 8:19heaven. And did cast them to the earth,8:22right? I mean, I'm not quoting it 8:23verbatim, but basically what this means 8:26is 8:27the stars, symbolic of the angels, uh in 8:30Revelation 1:20, is talking about the 8:33rebellion and how a third of, you know,8:35Satan's angels fell with him, right? So,8:39they're also already chained, by the 8:41way. So, when you look at 2 Peter 8:43chapter 2:3 No, not verse 3. Verse 4. 2 8:47Peter chapter 2:4,8:49God already delivered them into the 8:51chains of bondage, into the chains of of 8:54judgment, and into the chains of 8:56darkness.8:57So, the demons that fell are already 8:58considered chained. They're waiting 9:00final judgment, right? So, because God 9:03is already He's He He works literally,9:06you know, in in in real time. And he 9:08works kind of out outside of time as 9:11well, right?9:13So, I think it's a one major fall, not 9:15an ongoing fall, basically. Okay? But 9:18focus on the gospel 9:19more than anything, right? How do you 9:21know that you sincerely go in front of 9:23God like run to him in prayer and not 9:24just created a shortcut in your mind 9:26like kind of a habit? Uh either way,9:27it's okay,9:29right? Even if you created a shortcut,9:31you need grace, right? To not create 9:32those shortcuts. Cuz if you tell 9:33yourself, okay, I'm not going to create 9:35shortcuts,9:36does that mean you're going to stop? If 9:38you tell yourself, okay, today I'm going 9:39to stop lusting, do you guys really 9:40think that that's going to happen?9:42Anyone who says that or makes other 9:44people do that, like if you're if you're 9:46a woman and you tell, you know, your 9:47husband like, hey, you need to stop 9:49doing this. Like, it's okay for you to 9:50say it, but as soon as you say that, you 9:53also need to start believing in grace.9:54And what I mean by that is don't just 9:56tell people to stop do something stop 9:57doing something. You then also have to 9:59collectively with them start doing 10:01something. You have to start having 10:03faith in God and start believing that 10:04God is going to change them and start to 10:06go to God if he doesn't change them. A 10:09lot of people tend to kind of look at 10:10human beings and be like, okay, you're 10:11my God, right? You have to make a 10:13decision for X, Y, and Z. But the issue 10:15here is they need grace. There are 10:17certain people like for example children 10:19here. I don't know about y'all, but when 10:20I was a kid, I sucked at math. I 10:21literally could not get it. I couldn't 10:23understand it. Like I just was good at 10:25like addition, subtraction, and my times 10:27tables, sure. But after that, I I just I 10:29wasn't good at the quadratic formula. I 10:31wasn't good at, you know, contrary to 10:32what people believe, I have a very bad 10:35memory when it comes to like memorizing 10:37useless things. I'm very good at 10:38scripture, obviously. I'm good at like a 10:40lot of those things, but I don't I'm not 10:42good at like memorizing certain things.10:44I don't even memorize people's names 10:46sometimes. I memorize faces. But like 10:48when it comes to things like that I feel 10:49like, why do I have to memorize E equals 10:52MC squared or, you know, A squared plus 10:54B squared equals C squared? Like what 10:56does that matter to me, you know? Like 10:58so it's difficult for me to actually 11:00remember those things, right? And so I 11:02would do really bad. And my dad would 11:03tell me, "If you mess up, right? I'm 11:06going to I'm literally going to like 11:08beat you."11:09My mom would do the same. She would help 11:10me for a little bit and get so 11:12frustrated just knock me upside the 11:13head. Like I'd get I'd I'd 11:15I would literally sit there and like I 11:17wouldn't be able to do a certain like 11:18math problem, and she would try, "Okay,11:21no, it's simple." That's when I would 11:22notice when she would be like that.11:23"It's simple. You do this plus this 11:25okay?" And I'm just like, "Okay." And 11:27I'm trying, you know? But like I 11:29genuinely couldn't get it, right? And I 11:31know it's frustrating cuz like they 11:32literally tell you you you as parents 11:34have to repeat like 10,000 times the 11:36same thing and the kid still doesn't 11:38understand it and it's just frustrating 11:39and you feel like, "Dang, what I have a 11:40stupid kid." I've been called stupid so 11:42much by my mom. Like you're dumb. You 11:44seriously don't understand math. And and 11:46she would say things like, "It's 11:47embarrassing. You're Asian. Like you 11:49don't even fit the stereotype. What's 11:50wrong with you?" She would say these 11:51types of things. You guys tell mom and 11:53change she'll tell you, right? She got 11:55mad so so pissed off at one point. She 11:57literally knocked me over the head with 11:58a bowl. She was eating like a bowl of 12:00soup. She was so pissed. She took the 12:02bowl of soup and just smacked me over 12:03the head with it, you know? Like it was 12:06that bad, right? But imagine you just 12:08keep telling a kid like my dad told me 12:10too. He was I remember one time he said,12:12"If you get a F, when you come home, I'm 12:14going to beat the dog ish out of you.12:16Literally, I will beat you."12:18Right? Because you're choosing not to 12:20listen to the to to to the 12:22the to the teacher. You're choosing to 12:24do X, Y, and Z. You you chose this. So 12:27you need to like choose to like pay 12:29attention, too. It's not that hard. He 12:32would say, "How do you go to school and 12:33the teachers literally telling you and 12:35giving you all the answers on how to do 12:37it and you can't apply it. Are you 12:39stupid? Cuz you're not dumb."12:41And he would say these types of things 12:42to me.12:43Right? When he was sober, of course,12:44right? So 12:46but I needed grace cuz it doesn't matter 12:48how much he explained it to me. I could 12:51not understand it. I just couldn't. I I 12:53I it wasn't like I was perfect. I was 12:55like, "You know what I'm going to do 12:56today? I'm going to sit here and I'm 12:57just going to let, you know, and get my 12:59my butt beat like every day over this."13:01Like what? No. And then it got to the 13:03point where I hated math and I hated my 13:04teachers and I hated anybody who forced 13:07me to do something. I would just run 13:08away from it. So when it came time to 13:10show my progress report card, I would 13:12literally throw it away.13:14Like I would wait on the side, try to 13:16steal it from the mailman, do whatever I 13:18could cuz I know I was going to get my 13:19butt beat. Cuz I I just had bad grades.13:22I just sucked. School was not my thing,13:24guys, right? And so 13:27it's the same thing when you're sitting 13:28there 13:30and you have this mindset of like, I 13:31have to do something. Yes, you can have 13:33that mindset, of course. And if God 13:36gives you the grace, amen, hallelujah.13:37But what if he doesn't? What if I open a 13:39restaurant and I get the top chef the 13:42chefs, you know, in the world and I and 13:44I get angel investors and I market it to 13:47you guys,13:48but God doesn't give me the grace to 13:50then allow customers to come.13:52Then what can I do but kick and scream 13:54and cry? Understand what I'm saying?13:56Like if God makes me, you know what I 13:58mean? Preach the best gospel, let's say.14:01Let's say I preach the best gospel as a 14:02lot of you guys say that I'm a good 14:04gospel preacher. I relate to everything.14:06I answer all questions. Let's say I do 14:07all of that, right? And I've perfected 14:09my craft, obviously, spending all these 14:11years investing money into the gospel,14:13paying money to preach the gospel, to,14:15you know, learn from rabbinic Jews,14:17Messianic Jews, learn the language,14:19let's say, right?14:21But God doesn't open it up. God doesn't 14:23allow any person to hear my message,14:27which he did for the first 5 years of my 14:29walk.14:30Can anybody receive salvation even if I 14:32know the Bible and read it multiple 14:34times? No. Do you understand what I'm 14:35saying? So yes, of course, you know, you 14:38can run to him for prayer and even if 14:40you run to him for prayer, you have to 14:42realize that you need grace for him to 14:43hear the prayer.14:44If you have a shortcut in your mind like 14:46a habit, you also need grace to be able 14:48to see that and overcome that. It's not,14:51"Oh, I put my mind to it and it 14:52happens." That's not 14:54That's contrary to what the world 14:55teaches you. That's not the truth. Now 14:57I'm not saying you shouldn't try. You 14:59have to. We operate positionally, right?15:02As as people who are going to move 15:04forward, but we trust the process with 15:06God. We devise our ways and our plans,15:08sure, but God directs the steps and God 15:11weighs the heart, right? So he has to do 15:14it all. You can teach your children the 15:15best. I know people who literally had 15:174.0 GPAs by daytime and by nighttime 15:20were blasting people in my neighborhood,15:23in my gang. Seriously. Smart kids who 15:25who lived in Arcadia, who came from nice 15:28places that were upscale, that would 15:30come to the hoods themselves voluntarily 15:33to go and do evil things. And I looked 15:35at them like, "Why are you guys doing 15:36this? Y'all are just straight wicked.15:38Your parents didn't gave you everything.15:40They didn't came to America. They moved 15:42their whole life around. They worked 15:43their butt off. They own, you know,15:45import export companies. They're 15:47actually helping you. Why do you choose 15:49a street life?" And it's because grace.15:51They need grace. Just because you have a 15:53nice, you know, upbringing, does that 15:55mean you're not going to be a demon when 15:57you grow up?15:58Just because and and on the opposite 16:00side, just because you grow up in 16:02poverty, some of the kids growing up in 16:03poverty learn how to share the best.16:06They learn how to love on people. They 16:07they know what the struggle is. They're 16:09compassionate. They're empathetic. So it 16:11doesn't just go one way. It goes both 16:14ways, right? Why though? Because of 16:16grace. Hey, if you're enjoying this 16:17episode, I have a whole other video 16:19episode on all platforms, YouTube,16:22Spotify, Instagram, all that every 16:24single Monday. Each episode is a gospel 16:27centered lesson that you could apply to 16:28your life today. So this is more 16:30conversational. You guys know my team,16:32Jeremy and Aaron. We just have a lot of 16:34fun. We joke around, but we get serious.16:37We get vulnerable. It's just very, very 16:39different and it's beautiful. I hope you 16:41guys can tune in and we made this for 16:43you guys, so please enjoy. Are you guys 16:46following me here? Am I kind of I'm 16:47trying not to ramble,16:49but I genuinely, you know what I'm 16:50saying? I want you guys to understand 16:52how how important grace is. Grace is 16:54very important. Don't overlook it. Don't 16:55undermine it, either, right?16:58You guys understand what I'm saying,17:00right? So so so again, a lot of people 17:02don't recognize these types of things,17:04right? They they think that if I put my 17:06mind to it, it'll I'll do it. And that's 17:07why they live angry at God.17:10No, no, no, no. Yes, God, I'm going to 17:11put my mind to it.17:13But if you don't allow me to do what I'm 17:16putting my mind to, to be honest, Lord,17:19it doesn't matter 17:20what I do. I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm cooked.17:23Right? So you have to allow me to, God.17:26I can't just sit there,17:28you know, it makes sense, and do 17:29whatever I want or, you know, think that 17:32I I I can just put my mind to it and 17:34everything will just come to fruition.17:35That's not how it works. Hello, question 17:37about Romans 8:29. What does it mean to 17:39be chosen by God? Yes. Yes, so for whom 17:42he did foreknow, he also did 17:44predestinate, right? To be conformed to 17:46the image of his son that he might be 17:48the firstborn among many brethren. But 17:49first and foremost, right? We have to 17:52break down what it means to be chosen,17:55you know, what it means to be the 17:56firstborn, what does it mean, you know,17:58foreknow foreknowing foreknowledge, to 18:01be conformed, right? There's a lot of 18:03these types of things, right? First and 18:04foremost, I can tell you what it doesn't 18:06mean. It doesn't mean that God has chose 18:07you based off of your performance, your 18:09ability, your accolades, your, you know,18:11capabilities and abilities to stay 18:13righteous, right? You're you're not 18:14you're not righteous by by your own 18:16doing. You're righteous by choice and 18:18the choice of God, right?18:20God obviously has sovereignty 18:23and affirms this all throughout the 18:24Bible, right? And it definitely doesn't 18:26mean that God damns other people.18:29Being chosen is God knew you, right? He 18:32didn't just know you existed, right?18:35He He He's kind of watching a a a 18:37replay, a highlight reel.18:40He knows that, you know, what's going to 18:42what the outcome is, but he doesn't make 18:45the players in the replay. He has no 18:46control over the players in the replay.18:49He knows LeBron's going to do this. He 18:50knows Shohei Ohtani's going to hit, you 18:52know, you know, back-to-back-to-back 18:55home runs, right? He knows that, but he 18:56can't make him do it. He can't change 18:58that, either. He can't go, "You know 18:59what? He did back-to-back-to-back home 19:01runs. I'm going to just have him get one 19:03home run and humble him down." Like 19:04that's not he he can't do that. So just 19:06cuz you know something does not mean you 19:08can change it, right? So being chosen is 19:12basically being known on a relational 19:15level by God. God knew you, right?19:18"Before I formed thee," he says in 19:19Jeremiah 1, "I knew thee," right? He 19:21knows you, right? And so the goal isn't 19:24just, you know, I'm saved from hell, but 19:27it's a transformation 19:29to reflect heaven, right? People are 19:31focused on, "Oh, I got saved and he knew 19:33me, so then I don't go to hell." Like 19:35no, but you have to also be,19:37you know, righteous and holy and reflect 19:39heaven, too. It goes both ways,19:40basically. Understand what I'm saying?19:42You're chosen not because of like your 19:45like it's more reward versus rescue,19:47right? So so people think like, "Oh, I'm 19:50chosen and that's my reward." Like if I 19:52just keep doing well, I'll get a reward,19:54which is heaven. That's what it means to 19:55be chosen. No, it's a rescue mission,19:58right? God rescued you.20:00He chose you because he chose to rescue 20:02you from everything. I'm having trouble 20:04with navigating through the fine line 20:06between indulging in the world and being 20:07Christ-like and sometimes finding 20:09windows to sharing the gospel is really 20:11hard. So, the again, it all of this has 20:14to come down to grace. Yes, you can try 20:17to navigate well and do and as you 20:19should. But again, this is something 20:21that you have to realize that God has to 20:23do for you, right?20:25Make sense?20:27Like that's it's just what it comes down 20:29to at the end of the day, right? It's 20:30[snorts] not just how much I try to, you 20:33know, indulge in the world. I mean, you 20:35shouldn't be indulging in the world, but 20:36even if you told yourself, "Okay, I'm 20:37not going to indulge in the world." Do 20:39you really think that that's going to 20:40happen?20:41Right?20:42There's it's impossible. Then you can't 20:45use your cell phone. You can't You know 20:46what I'm saying? Like eat certain foods.20:48I mean, you can't go out to certain 20:50places that are, you know, on Halloween 20:52and it's it's it's a bunch of stuff.20:54It's not as simple as I can just choose 20:56it and then I can do it. So, again, it 20:57ties back into 20:59that stuff. You understand what I'm 21:00saying? The other COG members told me to 21:02ask you on MainStage, but how can we 21:04join the team of a missionary or house 21:07church or get in contact with them? I 21:09mean, what would be the reason for it,21:11right? I think learning the gospel now 21:13and and growing this way is is is good,21:15right? Right? I understand that we want 21:17to be discipled and and and things like 21:19that, but at the end of the day,21:21you know, our job is to to also be able 21:23to grow in knowledge and in grace,21:26right? We don't have to grow inside of 21:27the church. I mean, of course, growth is 21:29expedited, I would say, inside the 21:31church depending on your heart posture.21:33But I think right now it's it's not We 21:35can't do missionary work yet unless 21:38we're kind of trained in it, right? And 21:40of course, living in the house is great,21:41but that's a privilege,21:43right? That's not something that we just 21:45sign up for,21:46right? We have to attend the churches.21:48So, you know, hit us up in the 21:51in the I'm trying to get to it on the 21:53Core of the Heart app if you're a member 21:55and then we'll be able to kind of like,21:58you know, go through all of that, right?22:00Message you back and stuff like that.22:02Okay.22:04Can you explain Judges 4 14 8 to 11?22:07That's the one where Samson speaks about 22:10his supernatural strength, I think. It 22:12uses a lion and the carcass of a lion, I 22:14think, right? I'm not sure. I think 22:16that's the one. Maybe I'm wrong. Yeah,22:18but but essentially, I mean, can I can I 22:21can I be honest? Most people don't ask 22:23that. So, I just want to know what what 22:25What do you mean by can I explain it?22:27Like You can ask a question. I'm just 22:28trying to figure out like why 22:30specifically that.22:32Right? Are you Are you thinking that 22:33it's a strength thing? Are you thinking 22:35about like you have to do it? Are you 22:38Right? Like are you 22:40What's the heart behind that? If you can 22:42give a little bit more context, right?22:44So, at the end of the day, it reflects 22:46the gospel, right? Samson was called and 22:48set apart. He had to compromise, but he 22:51compromised in the wrong way, obviously.22:53He went towards the flesh. But the issue 22:54with Samson is not that he was, you 22:57know,22:58touching the honey from the dead lion 23:00or, you know, celebrating, you know, at 23:03the Philistine feast, which is the enemy 23:05territory, right? That That wasn't the 23:07issue. The issue is he was compromising 23:10his calling for for his comfort,23:12basically, right? He He He wasn't 23:15drawing, you know, lion honey from the 23:18lion of Judah. He was drawing it from a 23:21dead lion. You understand what I'm 23:22saying? That's like eating cake from a 23:23trash can, right? Sure, it's sweet, but 23:26it'll probably make you sick, right? So,23:28but again,23:30my I guess my question is, you know, to 23:33your question is why why exactly that,23:36right? It just It ties back into God. I 23:38mean, I answered it, but it ties back 23:40into him, you know? All right. So, yeah.23:43I think at the end of the day, guys,23:45what it comes down to is 23:48we have to have the heart posture to see 23:50Jesus in everything, right? That's going 23:52to answer like most of your questions,23:54but 23:55and and as I'm speaking, I'm helping you 23:57guys with everything.23:59Right? In this way, obviously, right?24:01For you guys to see that, "Oh, I got to 24:04tie it all back to him at the end 24:05[clears throat] of the day." Right? So,24:06I'm going to skip down a little bit cuz 24:07there's like three 400 plus messages.24:10So, let me just kind of If you got to 24:13re-ask it, you guys can re-ask, please.24:16Hi pastor, does unequally yoked apply to 24:18friendships? Like how are we supposed to 24:19minister to people if we don't get to 24:21know them more? Right. So, so the way 24:23you're thinking is obviously, you know,24:26there's a spiritual intimacy here,24:27right? Most people think that it's about 24:30friendships and and stuff like that.24:32That's not actually what it is. You're 24:33not forbidden from being friends with 24:36unbelievers, right? Actually, when you 24:38look at Luke 7:34, it says Jesus was a 24:41friend of sinners.24:43But the the the the center line here,24:44the important thing is friendship 24:46becomes unequally yoked when their 24:49influence pulls you away from God and 24:52God's influence. So, it's not this Oh my 24:55gosh, he's not believing, so like stay 24:57away. It's like, no, does his unbelief 24:59affect you? Because most of us all of 25:02us, I would say, were unbelievers at one 25:04point, right? You didn't come out the 25:05womb like praising hallelujah 25:08and and and worshipping God. We're all 25:10people who were unequally yoked. So, by 25:12that logic, none of us God can't touch 25:15any of us.25:16Right? That doesn't make sense.25:18So, what it is is No, no, no, you can 25:20sit there and talk to people,25:23right? And and but you have to see, are 25:26they influencing you 25:28or are you influencing them? Understand?25:30Are you compromising constantly your 25:32values to relate to people?25:34Have you stopped praying and reading 25:36your word or fellowshipping in front of 25:38them? Like You understand what I'm 25:39saying? Like, right? A healthy 25:41friendship is always okay and healthy 25:43boundaries are always okay with 25:45unbelievers. For example, you're honest 25:46about your faith 25:48and then they respect it.25:50Right? You love them, but you don't let 25:52them like You don't have to lead them,25:54but you definitely can't be led by them,25:55either. Like, right? You can love on 25:57them and still be like, "Hey,25:59respectfully, like 26:01they can also love your decisions and 26:03respect your decisions, too, right? Of 26:05course, get to know them. Of course,26:06build con- connection. [clears throat]26:07Of course, but don't like,26:10you know, connect or or or like tether 26:13your your identity to them. Understand 26:16what I'm saying?26:17Make sense? So, yeah, Jesus hung out 26:19with sinners, but he never let their sin 26:21like define him or even influence him,26:24but you know, he called those sinners to 26:26repentance, right? Understand what I'm 26:28saying? Like you Yeah, we're supposed 26:30to, you know, like you have to ask 26:32yourself, right? Like like Am I drawing 26:34them towards Christ or are they drawing 26:37me away from Christ, right? It's the 26:38draw. It's the art of the draw, as we 26:40say, right? Amen, right?26:42And and you have to be able to show 26:44yourself to them. Like,26:45even if you don't talk about Jesus,26:47would they know that you follow Jesus 26:49without you even having to say anything 26:51or compromise? I think that's the most 26:53important thing, right? Amen. Okay, let 26:55me read this. My mentor imposed himself 26:57on me as my spiritual father. He even 27:00used scripture. He wasn't wrong. It was 27:01just a lot. I know I need him. I just 27:04don't know how to approach that again.27:06Yeah, I don't think he needs to be I 27:07don't think he needs to say that. Like 27:09respectfully, right? Spiritual fathers 27:11are given by the father, not by 27:13themselves. Like I I don't I've never 27:16called you guys my spiritual children 27:18and I've never said that I was a 27:20spiritual father. The true spiritual 27:21father is God.27:23We are just shepherds, yes, who lead you 27:26back to the true shepherd, God. We point 27:29you to God. We don't use scripture to be 27:32like, "You listen to me." Right? Of 27:35course, you should submit to, you know,27:38the spiritual leaders 27:40and, you know, but only if the spiritual 27:43leader is submitted to the true 27:45spiritual father, which is God.27:47Not just using scripture. Everybody can 27:50quote scripture, but quoting not just 27:53scripture, but living surrendered.27:56Right? So, you have to be able to see is 27:59this person surrendered or not. Meaning,28:01do they put their pride aside? Do they 28:02put their ego aside? Do they wait for 28:04you out of patience? Hey, it's okay.28:06Like, you know, I'm just looking out for 28:08you. versus No, you need to listen to me 28:10because I'm your spiritual daddy. Like,28:13not necessarily. Understand? How can we 28:16have full assurance of salvation? Like I 28:17believe that I believe, but a lot of the 28:19times I don't know what Satan, but I 28:20keep So, yeah, so you have to rewatch 28:23the salvation video and not confirm your 28:25salvation amongst your mind, but confirm 28:27it against the word of God. If you 28:29confirm If you guys confirm your 28:30salvation amongst yourself, it's no 28:32good. You're going to constantly live up 28:35and down. You're going to question your 28:37salvation because when you feel saved,28:38then you'll you'll be saved, but when 28:40you don't feel saved, then you've lost 28:41your salvation. That's basically what 28:43feelings do. They deceive you and 28:45they're very evil. So, like the best 28:47thing to do is actually confirm your 28:48salvation in the Bible, not amongst 28:50yourself.28:52A lot of you guys A lot of you guys 28:54judge yourselves, you know? My church 28:56mentor gives me bad advice sometimes,28:58like keeps things from like keep things 29:01from your wife. If I've had issues with 29:02honesty and infidelity before, so I So,29:05why suggest I continue that? Also, he 29:07condemns me for smoking, but offers a 29:09beer when I get to his house. Um I think 29:11I think there's nothing wrong with 29:13keeping certain things from your wife if 29:15it's going to hurt her instead of heal 29:18her.29:19Right? You don't have to say every 29:20single thing 29:22because, you know, that if they're not 29:24ready for it spiritually, then that can 29:26be poisonous to them. When it comes down 29:28to it, of course, he shouldn't be 29:30offering you, you know, a beer and stuff 29:32like that, right? Or condemning you in 29:34any way. However, you have to be able to 29:37be sure that is it condemn- condemnation 29:39or is it actually, you know, conviction,29:42right? So, so protecting the soul of a 29:44person is important, but if it You have 29:47to realize are you operating from a 29:49position of like judgment and he's 29:51hurting my feelings and he's saying 29:52things about me? Because the way that it 29:54sounds it's just through text it's 29:56coming off as like you need to lead me 29:58the way I want you to lead me, right?30:01Understand? What you can do is ask him,30:03you know, instead of making the judgment 30:05you gave me bad advice, you can say,30:07"Hey, I've struggled with honesty and 30:08infidelity before.30:10Can you can you can you kind of explain 30:12to me why 30:14what's your reasoning behind the 30:16suggestion?"30:18And I'm pretty sure there's a very human 30:20and maybe even a very spiritual reason 30:21why he does that, right? So so we too 30:24like 30:25not all guidance is going to make sense.30:27In fact, a lot of the times guidance 30:30doesn't make sense because you don't 30:32even know, right? You don't know what's 30:33right. You if you if you if you knew you 30:35would guide yourself. You wouldn't need 30:37to ask somebody. You guys understand 30:39what I'm saying?30:40So guidance is not always going to make 30:42sense to you and if if you only follow 30:44when it makes sense to you then what 30:45happens there?30:47Then it becomes what? You're you're 30:49guiding yourself and you're your God.30:50You're you're the leader essentially,30:51right?30:52So so actually contrary to what a lot of 30:55people believe guidance is not going to 30:57make sense. It's actually always going 30:59to kind of challenge you, but that's 31:01where we walk by faith and that's when 31:02we can ask for clarity, right? And and 31:05and you know, confirm with people. Hey,31:07is this what you meant cuz I'm not 31:09really sure and I know that I don't know 31:10and I don't want to jump conclusions.31:11That's a normal healthy mindset of a 31:13person who's mature, has emotional 31:15intelligence, has awareness, is going to 31:17sit there and ask not just assume that 31:20people are giving them bad advice,31:22right? So we have to really think about 31:23those things. That's all it comes down 31:25to at the end of the day, right? So 31:26yeah, comes down to to kind of learning 31:29those things, right? I'm super excited 31:31to announce that we have our merch 31:34finally. We 31:38You guys have been waiting.

Love you guys. Peace.33:47Just buried my cousin yesterday who 33:49unfortunately committed suicide, but now 33:50I'm struggling with believing he went to 33:51heaven. How can I take this to the 33:53Bible? By believing in God, right? Uh by 33:57believing in what God says. The Bible is 33:59pretty clear. Acts 16:31, but also he 34:02has to have a relationship with God. And 34:04in that part you have to have the heart 34:05posture to believe. Hey God, whether you 34:07do this or that, that's up to you, Lord.34:10I I can't. The reason why we're 34:12struggling is because we're kind of 34:13trying to you know, not just obviously 34:16we want him to go to heaven. Everyone 34:18wants that. No one here wants any of our 34:20family members to blatantly burn, but I 34:23think we also have to trust in the 34:25provision of God, too. That's usually 34:27where the issue is, right? Cuz even if 34:29if we're looking for the scripture and 34:32the scripture, you know, doesn't 34:34penetrate our heart then it's useless,34:35right? And we we we have to believe by 34:38faith that God knows. He knows what's 34:40best for all of us. Understand what I'm 34:42saying?34:43Right? So 34:45Yeah. Why did Jesus What did Jesus mean 34:47in Mark 10:17-18 when he tells the man,34:49"Why callest thou me good? There is none 34:52good but God," right? So he's not saying 34:54that he's not good. He's essentially 34:56quoting Psalm 14:2-3 34:58>> [snorts]34:58>> and what he's trying to show you get you 35:00can watch the Houston event. I talked 35:02about this. He's talking to the rich 35:03young ruler here and what he's speaking 35:05to him about is because the rich young 35:06ruler thinks he's good.35:08So he's checking him. There is no one 35:10good and stop being fake, basically,35:12right? He's like, "You call me good, but 35:14you think you're better than me. You 35:15call me master. You call me Lord, but 35:17you think you're better than me because 35:19I'm the one that has to usher in your 35:21salvation, but you're asking me how you 35:22can usher in your own salvation." That's 35:24that's the context here.35:26And again, context. Understand what I'm 35:28saying? Hey Johnny, just got the 35:29opportunity to be a part of a week-long 35:32mission trip. Do you think I should 35:33partake? I mean, that's up to you,35:35right? You can go or not, right? That's 35:37move or not, but I think God will work,35:39right? So Yeah.35:41All right. I've been having lustful 35:43dreams lately and I know that dreams and 35:44thoughts can be from the enemy. I think 35:46yeah, I think that's why you shouldn't 35:47listen to your dreams and thoughts 35:49whether it's, you know, a good or a bad 35:51one, right? Jeremiah 29:8-9 speaks about 35:54this. So yeah, focusing on, you know,35:57receiving biblical salvation is 35:58important. So watch the salvation video 36:01if you guys haven't done so already,36:03right? Makes sense?36:04If you feel condemned after attending a 36:05service, what do you do? Talk to the 36:07people.36:08Again, conversation. Hey, I felt this 36:11message was this. Is this what you 36:12meant? And see what they say because 36:14pastors are not supposed to condemn you.36:16They're supposed to convict you. There's 36:17a difference. So if you feel bad, that's 36:19not from God, right? You you you can 36:22feel like a little, you know, maybe 36:24off-put, sure. You can feel maybe a 36:26little offended at times, but you have 36:28to at least figure out why what is the 36:30offense? What made you feel like that?36:32And that's that can only happen through 36:33conversation. Otherwise, your mind will,36:36you know, speak for other people. Satan 36:38will speak for others and he'll speak 36:39for Jesus, too.36:40So you have to go to that person and go,36:42"Hey, I heard this little part. It was a 36:44little bit like difficult for me to 36:45grasp and understand and and quite 36:46frankly, I do feel some type of way 36:48about it. Am I wrong in why you know, in 36:51in what I'm feeling?" And if you don't 36:53know what you're feeling, you can also 36:54ask them. Like I don't know, I just feel 36:55off about this. Can you maybe re-explain 36:58it a little bit in detail? And again,37:00nine times out of 10 they'll be able to 37:01do so. A good pastor, a true pastor 37:03will. "Oh yeah, no, I meant this. I 37:05meant this."37:06Understand? It's always okay to ask 37:09questions. It's not okay to make an 37:10assumption and be like, "This is what 37:12your sermon was about," when it really 37:13wasn't about that and now I'm going to 37:14build darkness and distrust and 37:16resentment towards you and not give you 37:18a chance to explain yourself, meaning 37:19we're not going to have dialogue. I'm 37:21just going to make my I'm going to cast 37:22a judgment on you. And then you have to 37:24now compete with my thoughts and my 37:25feelings and my, right? Emotions, which 37:28is not no one can do that. Amen, right?37:31All right. Hello Johnny, I grew up 37:32Catholic, identified as atheist for many 37:34years. I started to come back to faith 3 37:36years ago after I was married to my 37:37wife. I compromised a lot of my beliefs 37:39with her. She does not believe. Ever 37:41since finding Kath, I have I not had it 37:43in me to compromise anymore, which has 37:45caused a rift between us because she 37:47doesn't want to believe in God. How do I 37:48deal with this? Just sharing your heart 37:50with her. Don't force her, but let her 37:52know.37:53Hey, I'm sorry. Apologize to her. I'm 37:55sorry that, you know, I'm not 37:57compromising anymore and it's not that 37:59I'm not trying to compromise with you. I 38:01just feel like certain things just like 38:03are put off by by that and have a 38:05conversation with her 38:06and gain her heart because you're saved,38:09right? Who has to bend? She also doesn't 38:11know, so she can't bend,38:14right? When a when a when a kid is 38:16throwing a temper tantrum, does the 38:17parent then match the energy and throw a 38:19temper tantrum, too? No, because we're 38:21older, right? We we we understand. We we 38:23bend. Okay, it's fine. All right, let 38:25them throw it and just relax and then 38:27have a conversation afterwards. Be the 38:28bigger person,38:29right? And I think that's important more 38:32than anything, right? So yeah, it's it's 38:34okay, you know, to feel frustrated, but 38:37you can also express these things, you 38:40know, understand? Right?38:42Makes sense? Can you explain what you 38:43meant when you talked to the guy in 38:45prison and told him that your faith can 38:47get others into heaven? Uh very simple.38:49So I gave him scripture, Acts 16:31. He 38:52had a mother that passed away and I 38:54could see on the verge that he was 38:56really struggling with his faith even 38:58though he was singing hallelujah and 38:59praise and peace, that was only after I 39:02preached the gospel, obviously, and 39:04secondly, he just, you know, was was 39:07afraid for his family and meaning he he 39:09wasn't moving by faith. And so during 39:11this time, legalistic people will say,39:13"No, faith doesn't extend. It's a 39:15relationship one-on-one between you and 39:17God. Show me the scripture," right?39:18Number one. Number two, I've I explained 39:21to him that there's a lot of people.39:22Jairus' daughter, for example, who 39:23didn't believe. Lazarus who didn't 39:25believe, you know, didn't even have the 39:26faith at that time, but the, you know,39:29the the sister Mary and Martha was able 39:32to resurrect him. Jairus' father, you 39:34know, Jairus I'm sorry, Jairus himself 39:36was able to resurrect his daughter.39:38There was a man with the palsy. Didn't 39:40believe in God. Didn't even care about 39:41God. His friends, you know, broke broke 39:44the roof and then, you know, lowered him 39:46down and he said, "By the faith of your 39:47friends, you are healed." Right? It's 39:49not just a healing of a physical 39:50healing, but a spiritual one. God 39:52doesn't just heal you physically, he 39:53always heals spiritually and then the 39:55healing physical comes after because 39:57spiritual bleeds into everything else,39:58physical, emotional, mental, etc. So,40:01it it comes down to, you know, not this 40:04mindset of, "Oh, I don't have to preach 40:06the gospel anymore." That's something 40:08that people put into their own heads,40:10right? Because even in Acts 3:1, when 40:12you read like three or four verses 40:13afterwards, Paul Paul and Silas go and 40:15they preach the gospel.40:17Right? But I don't believe that God's 40:19grace is limited by death. In in fact, I 40:21think God overcomes and overpowers death 40:25through grace. But people who are 40:27legalistic, they love to kind of be 40:30like, "No, that's not what it is."40:32You know, I'd rather this guy I'd rather 40:33tell the truth cuz I care about the 40:35truth and it crushes and destroys a 40:38person. You understand what I'm saying?40:39I'm sorry, but that's just what it is.40:41Like that's that's never how God was.40:43That's never how Jesus was. I'm sorry,40:45you know, like this is the Mosaic law.40:47Like they're right, you have to I mean,40:48you were a and you were sleeping 40:50around, so you have to be stoned to 40:51death. I'm sorry. Like they he never did 40:53that.40:54He was always he always was like, "No,40:55actually, all of these people they're 40:58judging you, they're wrong. What? We're 41:00keeping the law." Yeah, I know. And he 41:01And mind you, the new covenant wasn't 41:03ushered in yet. He didn't die yet. So,41:06they were still under the old Talmudic 41:07and Mosaic laws.41:09Abrahamic laws, right? So, why did he do 41:12that? What is he doing? That's why they 41:15hated Jesus. Like, "How can you do this?41:16How can you say something like that?41:18That's absurd." But Jesus always, when 41:20it came to him, he offered grace in all 41:23things, it says. He is the king of 41:24grace.41:25He even calls the Holy Spirit the 41:27comforter, the spirit of grace, and the 41:29spirit of truth. So, yes, there's truth,41:32but truth without grace is cruelty.41:34Understand what I'm saying, guys? Truth 41:35without love is not going to do 41:37anything. It's punishment. It hurts you.41:40Understand what I'm saying?41:41Right, guys? Right? So, that's just what 41:44it's not Oh, it's true. I don't have to 41:46gain people's hearts. No. Literally,41:48Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:22, "I am 41:50all things to all men so I can save some 41:53of them." For the purpose of saving,41:54I'll even become a deceiver, it says. 2 41:56Corinthians 6:8-10. Deceivers, yet true.42:00Harlots lied to protect certain people.42:03I'm not saying we're lying here. We gave 42:05them scripture. But what I'm saying is 42:06people think that truth is, you know,42:09truth is the Keep it real is the biggest 42:11lie because Romans 3:4 literally tells 42:14us that all men are liars. Let God be 42:16true. Everybody's a liar. It says babies 42:18lie before they can even speak. They're 42:20liars from the womb, it says, Psalm 42:2258:3, right? So, as we give scripture,42:25the issue is people don't want to give 42:27scripture. What they want to give is 42:28their feelings. They want to give their 42:29interpretation. They want to give their 42:31thoughts. They want to give legalism,42:33right? So, when I told that, you could 42:35see it in his face. He had something to 42:37be faithful about. He had something to 42:40grow in. He is now 100% reading the 42:43Bible and he told me, "When I get out,42:44I'm looking for you guys."42:46He now wants to be a part of a 42:47congregation. He literally was like 42:49crying.42:51Understand? But what does legalism do?42:53Nope. Sorry, you're a man with withered 42:55hand? Sorry, we don't heal on the 42:57Sabbath. So, then what does Jesus say?42:59"Oh, so it's good for him to die and 43:00burn in hell?43:01It's good for him to die, basically.43:04Yeah, it is. Legalistically speaking,43:06yes, he's going to have to go to hell.43:07Okay, then if that's the case, you have 43:08to go to hell, too." That's what Jesus 43:10was saying.43:11Do you guys understand? Why do you heal 43:12on the Sabbath day? Why do you Why do 43:14you pick ears of corn and with your 43:16disciples? Why do you sit with sinners?43:18Right? This is what legalism does. It 43:20makes people go, "Well, too bad. Yes, we 43:23came to save you, but if you don't keep 43:25these laws, you burn in hell." Right?43:27Yes, you know, God is a god of all love 43:29and then they butt God. But if you did 43:32this, you go to hell forever. So, too 43:34bad. Like that's literally the energy.43:35If you actually think about it and peel 43:38peel it all the way back and dumb it all 43:39the way down, the heart is always too 43:41bad. Like, yes, you messed up. Yes, God 43:44is good, but you messed up. Yes, God is 43:46all love, but like you have to choose 43:48him. Yes, God has given us salvation for 43:50free, but you have to work for it,43:51though. You also have to maintain it.43:53What are you talking about? You can't do 43:54whatever you want. It's always this.43:56They literally add the half truth. Yes,43:58God did this, but now it's works. Yes,44:00it's that, but you can't save these 44:01people. Yes, it's X, Y, and Z, but you 44:03can't do that. It's kind of wild.44:05If you really think about it. Do you 44:07understand what I'm saying? Even even 44:09when it comes to my platform, even when 44:10it comes to me,44:12I'm literally at the end of the day 44:14saying that everybody is perfected in 44:15righteous through Jesus Christ and his 44:17blood. Anybody disagree with that?44:19We're not perfect and righteous because 44:21of the blood. We're not completely 44:22washed and justified and sanctified.44:24That's all I'm saying. But do you know 44:26what other people who go against me, you 44:28know what they're saying? No, we're all 44:29sinners. You can't sin however you want.44:31We're all sinners, though. Wait. So, let 44:33me get this straight. You can't sin 44:34however you want, but you're still a 44:35sinner. Yes, I am. I'm a repenting 44:36sinner. What does that mean? I'm I'm 44:38saying that Jesus washed all of our 44:40sins. You're saying that we're still a 44:41sinner that meaning that Jesus didn't 44:42wash all of our sins. At the very core 44:44of it, what people are saying is assume 44:46your sinful identity and your sinful 44:48nature. Don't believe in the new nature 44:50that God already gave us in 2 44:51Corinthians 5:17. That's what it is.44:54If you guys really listen to a person's 44:56heart, that's what they're saying. And 44:58it's pretty scary and it's pretty 44:59dangerous and it's downright arrogant.45:01And it's downright wrong. Do you guys 45:03understand what I'm saying? Right?45:04That's what it is at the end of the day,45:05right? Everybody thinks this way. No,45:07we're sinners. We can't say that, man.45:08We got to be humble.45:10How are you a sinner and humble at the 45:11same time? It doesn't make sense.45:13Sinners are evil people. Huh. Wicked.45:16Understand? But then you have to be 45:17humble? It doesn't make sense, right?45:20So, again, people are this way.45:23You know, right? Is it okay to read the 45:25graphic novel of the Bible because I 45:26have a problem reading when it comes to 45:27just words. How can you be better reader 45:29because I try to read and listen to 45:31Genesis audiobook, but always fall off 45:32track. Read to accept, not to 45:34understand. If you read Read until you 45:36fall off, even if it's 10 verses.45:38Read, close it, take take a break, go 45:40back and try again. And little by little 45:42you build this kind of biblical 45:44literacy. Understand? Right? It's on the 45:46website. It should be through the just a 45:48little like inbox icon icon. How How 45:51Hello, pastor. I struggle understanding 45:53is being perfect since we can never be 45:54sinless. We can only sin less and less.45:57Who taught you that? Right? So, it's not 45:59about being sinless, it's about sinning 46:01less. What do you mean?46:03>> [clears throat]46:03>> Who sins less less and less because what 46:05I understand from the Bible is a little 46:07bit of leaven leaveneth the whole batch,46:09it says. Leaveneth the whole lump. So,46:11poop water, for example. Little bit of 46:13poop falls into the water, it becomes 46:15poop water. You don't scoop it out and 46:16go 3-second rule, I can drink it. If 46:18it's feces that falls into your water 46:21cup, you're you're going to throw away 46:22the whole water cup. Why, though? It's 46:24just a little bit. You understand? No 46:26one uses that logic, but we do that with 46:27sin.46:28Oh, I just sinned a little bit. So,46:30like, you know, it's not that it's it 46:31there's levels to sin. No, it's not. God 46:33says sin is sin, right?46:35So, what does this mean then? It's 46:38because two things. Two things. People 46:40who say it's not only about we can never 46:42be sinless. It's not about being 46:44sinless, it's about sinning less. Number 46:46one is they don't understand the context 46:48and the concept of sin. They don't know 46:50what sin actually is. They think sin is 46:53just sleeping around and doing all the 46:54things and that's all it is. And it's 46:56disobeying the commandments and that's 46:57all it is. Well, if that's the case,46:59everybody's sinners and we all go to 47:00hell. Understand? Like, what level is 47:02it? So, tell me how many sins that I can 47:05commit before I, you know, run out of,47:08you know, my lives of sin, basically.47:10Understand what I'm saying? Like,47:12where's the rank here? I need to know 47:13now a number. Now, give me biblically 47:15how many is it? Just like 70 * 70 is it 47:17490 sins? I guarantee you guys committed 47:20more than 490 sins in your lifetime.47:22You understand what I'm saying? So, what 47:24is the number? They won't tell you that 47:25because that's not biblical. Sin is not 47:27an action, it's an identity. We are born 47:30as sinners. Psalm 58:3. Understand?47:33Understand? Right? Psalm 58:3. It's 47:36pretty clear. Obviously, Romans 5:12.47:39Very clear. The wicked are estranged 47:41from the womb, from the birth 47:42[clears throat] from the stomach. They 47:43go astray as soon as they be born,47:46speaking lies. So, as we're born, we're 47:48already sinners. Again, what does that 47:50mean? We're born into sin, right?47:51Understand?47:52We're born into sin. Romans 5:12 is the 47:55same thing. We're born into sin.47:57But the issue is they don't know that.47:59Right? We're hiring, guys. Heart of the 48:01Heart is hiring, but listen carefully.48:03We're not just building a company, we're 48:05building one of the fastest growing 48:06Christian communities in the world.

If you want 48:37to be the podcast producer, show me the 48:39shows that you've successfully produced.48:41We've learned the hard way not to hire 48:42off potential. We just want to hire off 48:44of pure experience. People who have 48:45already proven that they can perform at 48:47their skill set at the highest level. We 48:49have jobs available in many different 48:51departments. Media and content, live 48:53events, and marketing.

I look forward 49:22to hearing from you guys.49:24If you guys are going to ask your 49:25questions and I've already answered it,49:28here's the thing. If you're going to ask 49:29your questions, please listen when I 49:31answer it, right? I mean, it's it's 49:33common sense. Like I'm not trying to be 49:34mean, but it's common sense to go if I 49:37ask a question maybe I should listen out 49:39for people to actually answer it. So you 49:42can keep spamming it. It doesn't matter 49:43if you're new or not, right? I mean 49:45respectfully you have to be able to 49:47listen if you're going to ask a 49:48question.49:49Right? So I've answered it already and 49:52another person actually helped try to 49:53answer it too by saying read slowly.49:56Right? So 49:57if you're not going to hear it, I mean I 49:58I just I can't I can't waste my time.50:00Sorry.50:01Right? So again a lot of people think 50:04that, right? Oh, if I sin X Y and Z then 50:07I've I've fallen out of grace. I've I've 50:09and then it's hyper grace too, you know,50:11I can't just sin however I want. It's 50:12like, okay, so give me the exact number 50:15and they won't be able to. They'll then 50:16move the goal post and say, well, it's 50:18about your heart posture. And these are 50:20people nine times out of 10 who have not 50:21read the Bible because heart is 50:23deceitful above all things desperately 50:25wicked who can know it. God gives you a 50:26new heart meaning you have to distrust 50:28the old one and never trust your 50:30feelings ever again.50:31Cuz prior to knowing God all you did was 50:33follow yourself.50:35The new heart is to not follow yourself.50:37If you're still sinning, I'm sorry to 50:38say it, you're still following yourself.50:41Do you guys understand what I'm saying?50:42So like they they can't make the bridge.50:44It doesn't make sense what they're 50:45saying. But it also makes sense to them 50:47though.50:48Because they're not studied sadly.50:50Right? And then it's it's kind of 50:51difficult, right? Do you understand what 50:54I'm saying? Right? So yeah. Is is it 50:56making sense?50:58Right guys? Yeah. All right. That's what 51:00it comes down to. Okay?51:02All right.51:04So yeah, a lot of people don't know 51:06that, right? They don't know. And till 51:08this day, you know, they only watch 51:10YouTube videos, they only see certain 51:12things and 51:13they judge based off of that. It's 51:15really sad actually.51:17You know?51:18It's Halloween and everything. They they 51:20judge only those things. No, you should 51:23you have to do this. You have to do 51:24that. You have to follow this. You have 51:25Okay, but up until when though? How 51:27much? Until you die. Okay, but how many 51:29sins am I allotted, you know, before I 51:31fall out from heaven basically I sinned 51:33too much for heaven for the for the 51:34blood. See the issue with people is that 51:37they those who think that their sins are 51:39great and greater than the blood will 51:41say that they're sinners.51:43But those who 51:45the blood in their hearts the blood of 51:46Jesus is really big and it's magnified 51:49and bigger than sin, they'll call 51:50themselves righteous.51:52So that's the issue here with 51:53everything. Do you think that your issue 51:56is an issue to Jesus? And if it is, then 51:58you're going to fall into it. Do you 51:59understand what I'm saying?52:01Like don't just answer. Like be honest 52:03with yourself.52:04If you're struggling with lust, it's 52:06only because of one thing.52:07You think that the lust is bigger than 52:10Jesus washing all of that lust from you,52:12right? It's the same thing with 52:13thoughts. Why do I keep trusting my 52:15thoughts when I know that they're bad?52:16Because you just don't think that 52:18they're you think Jesus' word is worse.52:20That's why. So you trust your thoughts 52:22cuz it makes more sense to you and it's 52:24better for you. You think that. That's 52:26why you fall into it. If you realize,52:28no, wait a minute, the word of God says 52:29my thoughts are evil, then you will take 52:32that. It it has to be bigger.52:34People can't receive salvation because 52:36of this one thing. This mindset of I'm a 52:39sinner and my sin no matter what is is 52:41too big for God. But if you even if you 52:43just say that, you should cringe. You 52:46should and your stomach should should 52:47turn. What? That's blasphemous. How can 52:50my sin be bigger than Jesus? Do you 52:52understand?52:53But then you don't know.52:55You don't even know you're doing that.52:56That's why I Satan is a deceiver. He 52:58makes you think that you know what's up,53:00but you don't. You understand what I'm 53:01saying?53:02Think about it guys. If my sin is Is 53:05there any sin too big for God?53:07No. I mean I said no.53:09Of course not. Right? But people go,53:11yes, there is.53:13Right? That's why they call themselves 53:15sinners. You can only call yourself a 53:17sinner 53:18right? If you believe that your sin was 53:20greater than the cross.53:22If you believe that your sin is greater 53:23than his blood. I'm I'm serious, right?53:25Like for example, debt is only debt to 53:27people who can't pay the debt. Right? If 53:30I have a hundred million dollars in my 53:31bank account, even if it's ten million 53:33dollar debt, which is a lot of debt,53:35it's nothing to me. Are you following me 53:37here? It's the same thing, right? Right?53:39Sin is a problem only to what? People 53:42who think it's a problem. People who 53:44think that that problem is big to them 53:47and also big to God. It's not, right?53:49You you guys understand?53:51So that's that's the reason why people 53:52can't receive biblical salvation.53:55That's why they cannot believe that 53:56sanctification isn't a process because 53:59they believe that, well, what I'm going 54:00through 54:01is a process. Positionally, yes, I'm 54:04sanctified, but at the same time like 54:05I'm not though. I have the flesh.54:08Right, but you're you're technically 54:09dead. Understand?54:11You're technically dead.54:13The Bible says so. So is the word big or 54:16is your feelings big? And nine times out 54:17of 10 guys your feelings are bigger. And 54:19I'm not saying that we all can just 54:22randomly, you know, overcome. We need 54:24grace. Okay, God,54:25help me.54:27You know?54:28Please. Amen.54:30And once you do that, then you start to 54:31grow and you go, wow, this is amazing.54:33Like living for God is such a beautiful 54:35thing guys,54:36but you need grace. It's not easy. I'm 54:38not saying this to be like all of you 54:40guys are weak and you need to have more 54:42faith. No, no, no. I Even myself I fall 54:44to it too, you know? You think I'm not 54:46angry? You think I don't get mad? You 54:48think I don't get stressed out? Of 54:49course I do. You think I don't get 54:50lustful? Of course I do. Of course.54:53100%.54:54Right?54:55But the issue here is at the pivotal 54:58moment I do believe the word of God by 54:59grace. I do know that, hey, I need 55:01grace. That is believing in the word of 55:03God. Yes, I may be struggling with this 55:05X Y and Z, but God, he's going to help 55:07me.55:08I don't let those things overtake me and 55:10overcome me.55:12That's the difference guys. Understand?55:14Right? And even when it does overtake 55:16us, let's say, we don't sit there and 55:18get angry about it. We just sit in it.55:20Okay, God, this is why I need you.55:23But what we do is we get angry at God.55:24It's weird. We get frustrated with God 55:26and then we put our hands on it even 55:27more. If you have intrusive thoughts and 55:30you try to stop them, good luck. It's 55:32going to go get worse. Is that not the 55:34truth? It gets worse.55:36Literally, have you tried?55:38It's gone It gets so much more worse.55:40Okay, I know Johnny said this, I 55:41shouldn't do that. And then and it's 55:43like this, F Johnny. Understand? He 55:45thinks he's so good. A lot of people 55:47even do that too.55:49Okay, God told me this. God, but why is 55:50God allowing this? I don't understand.55:53Why God? You can stop me. Snap your 55:54fingers. I hate you. It becomes I'm I'm 55:57serious.55:58Have you noticed that?55:59Versus if you just go, yep, I'm pissed.56:02God, I need you. Yeah, I need you, man.56:04I I can't help it. I can't help it. Then 56:07when you do that, you'll notice that you 56:09have a lot more liberty to just do what 56:10you want and then God will bring you 56:12back down where he needs you.56:15I've I've done that so many times. Okay,56:17carnal mindedness death. Okay, distrust 56:18your thoughts. Distrust your thoughts.56:19Distrust your thoughts. And then the the 56:21second voice is, I'm trying. Why is it 56:23not working? I'm going nuts. Why? Right?56:27You go crazy. Literally. Why? Why is it 56:30that Johnny does this? Why is it Pastor 56:31Kim can do it? How come I can't do it?56:34Oh, you see? Cuz I'm stupid. All right,56:36if I'm stupid then I'll just leave the 56:37church. And if I'm dumb then I'm just 56:39going to crash out. F you, God. I'm 56:40going to do whatever I want, God. Forget 56:42you. I hate you. I'm going to do 56:43whatever I want. It becomes this. And 56:44you're literally mad at everybody. But 56:46the truth is is because you're actually 56:47trying to control it.56:49No, just let it rock.56:51Yeah, I'm this way. Oh, okay, Satan 56:53enter the chat. Go ahead, Satan, do it.56:54Have your way. I can't do it anyways.56:56And then what is it What is it What is 56:58he going to do? Oh, man, you know, have 57:00your way. Do whatever you want, right? I 57:02can't stop you. Listen guys, let me tell 57:03you guys something. You can't stop 57:04Satan.57:06Try it. But just like you can't stop 57:07Satan from planting all these thoughts 57:09inside of you, you also have to 57:10understand Satan cannot stop you from 57:12believing in God. It's just the truth.57:14He just makes you think 57:16that he can.57:17He cannot stop us from believing in God.57:20He cannot. He just wants you to forfeit 57:22that. Understand? He's going to try to 57:24sway.57:26Hey, if the if God is real, how come 57:27this is happening? Man, you just listen 57:29to Johnny's main stage and you're 57:31already falling into it. What the hell 57:32is wrong with you?57:34Right then and there you have a decision 57:35to make. You have You can either say,57:36amen, what the hell is wrong with me? Or 57:38you can say, no, man.57:40No. No.57:41I don't need to listen to you. Even if I 57:43fall into this, that's okay. God's going 57:45to help me. No, I'm not going to listen 57:47to you, Satan. You're stupid.57:49Understand?57:50Trust me guys, I go through it a lot 57:52too. Every single day I have to go 57:53through one of these things or multiple 57:55of these things. Every single day 57:57somebody's texting me, I hate you. Every 57:59single day somebody's messaging me,58:00you're fraud. You suck. I loved you. You 58:03did this. You did that. Every single day 58:05I got to hear what somebody says about 58:06me and what they feel about me. And then 58:08I have to compete with their thoughts 58:09respectfully. Every single day. Running 58:11off of three hours I'm I have three 58:12hours of sleep right now. I swear to you 58:14on everything that I love. And I have to 58:16listen to them. Every single day I have 58:17to sit there and I have to literally do 58:20my live and main stages and then people 58:22are like I literally am exhausted 58:24physically.58:25Right? And people are still looking at 58:26me like, yeah, I know you're exhausted,58:27but I need help. So hurry up and answer.58:29And if you don't answer, you give me the 58:30cold shoulder, then I realize that you 58:32don't actually love me. You don't care 58:33about me. So F you.58:35You understand how much like people do 58:37that to me? It's a day-to-day basis just 58:39so you know.58:41It's every day. But is that an issue?58:42No. I go in front of God and I go, you 58:44know what, God? I'm literally just a 58:46vessel. So if people want to step on me,58:48that's fine. But you know my heart and 58:51you know what I'm about and you know You 58:53know it all, right? Understand what I'm 58:55saying? Right? So yeah. Of course 58:57there's times where I have heart 58:58posture.58:59Like the other day I was just like I had 59:01a mindset, how stupid are these people?59:03That's what I I legit I'm being honest 59:05with you guys. How dumb can a person be 59:08to not even watch the whole episode and 59:11just judge because we had Halloween 59:13costumes on. To sit there and not even 59:15look and be like, I know the message and 59:18I'm going to sit here and 59:19you know? And and listen.59:21Cuz there's nothing that I said that was 59:24like blatantly like, yeah, guys,59:26celebrate the darkest day of the world 59:28like Nah. I was like, guys, it's okay.59:31Like don't condemn people, replace it,59:33remove it, redefine it, etc. etc."59:35right? They don't They weren't 59:36listening. Literally, I got hundreds of 59:38DMs. Hundreds. "Yeah, bro, this ain't 59:41it, bro. Just Just so you know, like I I 59:44I was with you, bro. You're getting 59:45corrupted now." It's like, "What are you 59:47even talking about right now?"59:48Understand what I'm saying? What are you 59:49saying?59:51"Yeah, brother, I I I realized, man,59:52you're fake, pastor, bro. I see you when 59:54I see you."59:56You know what I mean? Like there's ex-59:57Mind you, I have a a crowd of gang 59:59members, right? So, we have fools who 1:00:02think they're gangster and are like,1:00:03"Yeah, homie, you're fake, homie, blah 1:00:05blah blah blah blah." They They talk to 1:00:06me like they're gang members,1:00:07straight-up gangbanging on me in the in 1:00:09the in the DMs. I'm serious. "Yeah, when 1:00:11I see you, homie, like best believe I 1:00:13don't see you, woo wah wah wah." And I'm 1:00:15just like, "Psh."1:00:16Mind your business. Right there, I was 1:00:18like, "Look at God. Look at all these 1:00:20people."1:00:21Because I said one thing. So, all the 1:00:23things that I've been dropping bombs on 1:00:25and gems on, they overlook it.1:00:27There's no no empathy, there's no 1:00:29compassion.1:00:30There's nothing.1:00:31Do [clears throat] you understand? So,1:00:33did I get mad? Of course. Of course. I'm 1:00:35human. I was like, "Man, what the hell?1:00:37These fools are crazy." But right there,1:00:38I went to God. God, look at It's not 1:00:40just core-of-the-heart people. There was 1:00:42some core-of-the-heart people that 1:00:43actually changed. Did you know that?1:00:44There's some people who are like, "I 1:00:45love you so much. I went to El Paso."1:00:46And literally was like, "No, this ain't 1:00:48it, brother. You should really remove 1:00:49that. You should repent. And that's 1:00:51wrong. You're confusing baby Christians,1:00:53and that's wrong. I saw you at El Paso.1:00:56You gave me a lot of unlocks, but 1:00:57brother, this is wrong." Like, "Shut 1:00:58your face." That's literally what I 1:01:00felt. "Shut your face. You don't even 1:01:01know what you're talking about."1:01:02Understand what I'm saying?1:01:04Right? There's so many people saying 1:01:05stuff like this. And I was like, "Wow."1:01:07That Jeremy was like, "Let's just turn 1:01:08off the comments." I was like, "Okay."1:01:10So, we turned it off. And then they were 1:01:11just screaming in the abyss. You know,1:01:13when you turn off the comments, you get 1:01:14more DMs. "Why'd you turn off the 1:01:16comments, huh, you coward?" Blah blah 1:01:17blah. It started becoming It It 1:01:19literally became this. I was literally 1:01:20like, "Wow, this is crazy. This is 1:01:22literally crazy." I wanted to just say,1:01:25"Why didn't you just sit there and 1:01:26actually learn?" Right? Understand?1:01:29Right? Like, why didn't you sit there 1:01:30and actually learn and listen? Right? So 1:01:31that we wouldn't have to. People are 1:01:33very confrontational, right? And one of 1:01:35them was core-of-the-heart people, too.1:01:37Right? I said, "Hey, just so you know."1:01:38"Yeah, but this is wrong. Like, you 1:01:40should know, brother, that like, you 1:01:42know, you you God is with you. Like, you 1:01:44shouldn't turn off the comments." So,1:01:46when I turned off the comments, right,1:01:48for my peace of mind, some people were 1:01:49telling me, "You shouldn't turn off the 1:01:51comments." That "Oh, Johnny, you taught 1:01:53us faith, brother, but like you're a 1:01:54fraud because you turned off the 1:01:56comments. And like, come on, bro, you 1:01:58should let people speak and like let us 1:02:00argue for you." And So, again, damned if 1:02:02I do, damned if I don't. You understand 1:02:04what I'm saying?1:02:05Right? This is what we have to deal with 1:02:07on top of everybody else and their 1:02:09trauma and their BS, basically.1:02:11You guys understand? Right? But people 1:02:13don't understand. They don't care. So, I 1:02:15sat there and I was like, "Wow, this is 1:02:17This is what it means to literally lose 1:02:19every single time." Now, after my anger,1:02:22do you know what I thought? "Wow, God, I 1:02:24feel honored. Wow, Lord."1:02:26It'd be really not just your own, but 1:02:29Jesus, you went through this. Jesus, you 1:02:31you were literally sold by Judas. Your 1:02:35own people, your own disciple. You were 1:02:37cursed at and denied three times by 1:02:40Peter. Lord, like there really is nobody 1:02:43in this world that loves me except for 1:02:44you. Not even Pastor Kim. I straight-up 1:02:46said that. And I'm not mad at pastor,1:02:48but I realized that.1:02:50"Wow, Lord, for real, though."1:02:53Look at how quick people switch up.1:02:55Especially from a person like me who has 1:02:57compounded trauma of people switching up 1:02:59on me. You understand what I'm saying?1:03:01Going to prison, you know, people 1:03:03leaving me there, people, you know, they 1:03:04don't care about that.1:03:06All they care and they want us to care 1:03:08about So, you guys want me to care about 1:03:09your trauma, you don't care about my 1:03:10trauma is what I'm saying, right? That's 1:03:12how people are. Make sense? That's just 1:03:14how it is. Respectfully. Understand?1:03:16Right?1:03:17And somehow it's our our fault because 1:03:20we gave you the platform, right?1:03:21Understand?1:03:22And so, when I sit there, I was like,1:03:24"Wow, I have to deal with this."1:03:27But I was very honored. It didn't feel 1:03:29mad anymore. I sat there and I was like,1:03:32"Wow, God, amen. Thank you."1:03:35And I felt not sad, but I felt remorse 1:03:38for Jesus. Understand?1:03:40I was like, "Dang, Jesus, you're a real 1:03:42one, bro."1:03:43I crash out at even something small like 1:03:45this. Ain't nobody throwing stones or 1:03:47killing me.1:03:48But these people actually killed you.1:03:50And you still like, you know? Like I I I 1:03:53genuinely can't like, you know what I'm 1:03:55saying? I can't help you. Like I can't 1:03:57even I can't even walk in your shoes.1:03:59And so, when I thought about that, I was 1:04:00very thankful to God. "All right, dang,1:04:02Jesus, this is what you went through,1:04:03man." And I just felt myself very It was 1:04:06a It wasn't a condemnation or even a 1:04:09conviction. It was more It was 1:04:10conviction, but it was more of like a 1:04:12How do I put this into words? It was 1:04:14like a deep godly sorrow. It was like 1:04:17similar to how Peter felt when he didn't 1:04:18believe in Jesus. And he said, "Get away 1:04:21from me. I don't deserve this."1:04:23I genuinely felt that. "Wow, Jesus, like 1:04:26I'm over here being a little girl 1:04:29complaining when I'm missing the fact 1:04:31that you went through this 1,000 times a 1:04:33thousand. And at that point, I realized 1:04:35like, 'Wow, I'm I'm really a a pitiful 1:04:37human being.' Not because I I'm getting 1:04:40hurt, but because I can't even take the 1:04:43little things that you literally carried 1:04:45on your shoulders. Truly, God, I'm 1:04:46nothing, you know? And again, it was 1:04:48very humbling again.1:04:50So, I started to look at the comments 1:04:51and all of that. Like, "Wow, thank you,1:04:53you know? Like, thank you for like doing 1:04:55that cuz you did this to push me to God 1:04:57to realize this, too." Right? And for 1:04:59the evil people, they'll be like, "Yeah,1:05:00see, so I had to do this. It was all 1:05:01because of God." No, it wasn't.1:05:03Because I could easily have shot myself 1:05:05in the face.1:05:06Understand what I'm saying? There's a 1:05:07lot of people You You You guys have to 1:05:08understand something, right? There's a 1:05:10lot of people who are literally going 1:05:12through so much as in positions that 1:05:15we're in that literally kill themselves.1:05:17There's so many rappers, there's so many 1:05:19influencers who literally die because 1:05:21they're they're they're they're they 1:05:22fold under pressure. You know? People 1:05:25don't realize comments are like bullets 1:05:26sometimes. Getting shot at a lot of 1:05:28times.1:05:30Understand?1:05:32That the the betrayal is real, guys, you 1:05:35know?1:05:35So, in the same way, like I've I've I've 1:05:38learned like, "Wow, God, you Even that 1:05:41was a grace of God." To be like, "Okay,1:05:43Johnny, this is what I need you to do."1:05:45Understand? Make sense? This is what I 1:05:47need you to do. I need you to see 1:05:50that, you know, I'm in it and and I'm 1:05:53I'm the only one who loves you. Guys,1:05:54I'm sorry to say, none of you guys love 1:05:56me. My mom doesn't love me. Nobody loves 1:05:58me the way that God can. That's the God 1:06:00on his truth. And if you think so,1:06:02you're completely deceived. A million 1:06:05100,000%1:06:07deceived. You You guys understand what 1:06:08I'm saying? There's nobody in this world 1:06:10that can love us. That's just how it is.1:06:12So, if you go to other people for love,1:06:14you're a fool. I'm sorry. And you 1:06:16deserve everything coming to you to get 1:06:18hurt and all of that. Because that's 1:06:19what it is. That's what it is.1:06:22I know it's harsh, but it's true.1:06:25Understand? Because what we're trying to 1:06:26do is we're trying to place God 1:06:30and we're trying to place human beings,1:06:31creation, in the position that only 1:06:33creator can be, right? Amen. So, if you,1:06:36you know, get hurt by people, understand 1:06:39that yes, 50% is them, but 50% is us,1:06:41too, in that we placed our love in 1:06:43something that's not lovable and doesn't 1:06:45know how to generate love. Aside from 1:06:47God, we can never generate love because 1:06:49it's conditional and it's limited.1:06:51Understand what I'm saying, guys? That's 1:06:52all it is. And that's okay. When I 1:06:54realized that about myself, it made me 1:06:57easier, right? Lighter. Okay, it's okay.1:06:59I'm not I'm not, you know, I don't have 1:07:01to be all loving and and and on these 1:07:03people. If I get mad at them, I'm human,1:07:05too. But I'm going to take my anger, and 1:07:07I'm not going to internalize it, and I'm 1:07:09not going to even externalize it. What 1:07:10I'm going to do is I'm going to bring it 1:07:11to you, God.1:07:12And you're going to take care of it for 1:07:14me. You guys understand? Do the same,1:07:16right? [clears throat] Again, these are 1:07:17main stages to correct the heart 1:07:18posture, guys. Right? I go through a 1:07:20lot. Many, many times I go through a 1:07:21lot. You know?

I have to like help you guys,1:07:30too, and realign you guys.1:07:33But again, what does Satan do? He makes 1:07:35you not listen to me. That's all he has 1:07:36to do.1:07:38Ask guys stupid. He sucks. Don't even 1:07:39listen to his freaking dum-dum. You 1:07:41understand? But a lot of us, we just,1:07:44you know, I'm telling y'all, man, we we 1:07:45we we get we get hurt one time,1:07:47mistreated one time, and we're like 1:07:49ready to flip our whole spiritual life 1:07:51upside down. Me, too, guys. Me, too. I'm 1:07:54human, too. I'm I'm I'm I'm professional 1:07:56at that.
