Unlearned Wisdom by Johnny Chang

0:00Welcome back to another Discord stage.0:02This is where I talk directly with my 0:03community. I tell personal stories,0:05share deep biblical learnings, and I 0:07answer questions from the chat. These 0:09episodes are audio only, so thanks for 0:10listening. And you can join my Discord 0:12to catch the next Discord stage live.0:14Link in the description. Yeah, I'm 0:16actually 0:18um feeling a lot better today. So, we're 0:22going to put off the podcast, but we're 0:25going to record today. So, kind of uh 0:29you know, chilling a little bit. They 0:32found out what was wrong with what I 0:34had. Remember how I said everything was 0:36negative, right? Um I actually ended up 0:41getting a bacterial infection, testing 0:44positive for a bacterial infection,0:45which is called fuscoacterium.0:49Fusco bacterium. Apparently, everybody 0:51has that. It starts either in the gut or 0:54in the in the what's it called? In the 0:57throat or even in the mouth. And what 1:00happens is it's just like the bacteria 1:03like gut bacteria. There's good 1:05bacteria, there's bad bacteria, right?1:07And so a lot of teens to like young 1:10adults get this stuff. Um, so I don't 1:13know. I guess I have an immune system of 1:15a teen or young adult, but I don't have 1:17a brain of a teen or young adult, that's 1:19for sure. But uh essentially you know it 1:24was it was it it happens when two things 1:27are happening high level of stress low 1:31level of sleep and or lack of sleep high 1:35stress 1:37um poor diet. So when I travel usually I 1:40can't stay on top of my diet. So, you 1:44know, all of that happened and yeah,1:47they say it's like four out of a 1:48thousand people get it, which is very 1:51rare,1:52you know, but uh pretty crazy, right?1:57So, I'm like, dang, that's that's yeah,1:59it was wild. Um but yeah, very very hard 2:02to detect as well and can be very 2:05dangerous in that if you if that happens 2:10um and you don't take care of it because 2:12it was a sore throat for 5 days straight 2:14which is not normal and it was getting 2:16worse. The sore throat was getting 2:17worse. It can actually infect into La 2:20Mer's disease, I think, which is uh it 2:23infects your jugular vein, some crazy 2:26like that, right? It it it Yeah, it'll 2:30infect your jugular vein and then you 2:32you could like literally die, right? So,2:34that was crazy. But yeah, I was just 2:36like, m I'm good. I supposed to travel.2:39I stopped to travel. I was like, I'm I'm 2:40okay. Sure enough, thank God, I I did 2:43because I had to go pick up the 2:44antibiotics. They got me on a moxicylin 2:47and some other thing and it is it's 2:50doing it's doing its work but he doctor 2:54was like you got to you got to stop 2:56stressing out. I was like, I mean, it's 2:59not really just that, it's food, too.3:01You know, I think it's it's it's food as 3:04well, but um yeah, I was like, oh,3:07little do you know do you know, doctor,3:10if you have a congregation that sits 3:12there and says stuff to you and then one 3:15minute loves you and one minute hates 3:17you because you correct them. Oh, yeah.3:20Yeah. You'd probably be stressed out,3:22too,3:24right? It's like, dang. Oh, but yeah.3:27Anyways, kidding. All right, any other 3:30questions? Do you guys have any 3:32questions? Is there a different meaning 3:34to repentance in the Old and New 3:36Testament? Nope. It's all the same.3:38Repentance is the same. Everything in 3:40the Old ties into the New. So, it's the 3:42same thing. Do you have some questions 3:45that people ask that you love to hear?3:47Do you have questions that some people 3:49ask that you love to hear? Um, no. I 3:54think they're all the same. There's 3:56questions I don't like to hear like trap 3:58setting questions,4:00you know, things like that. But, uh,4:03truth seeeking questions I love. I don't 4:06like when questions are rooted in pride,4:09right? Well, well, well, if God is good,4:11why does he allow babies to die? Like 4:13this type of question. It's like kind of 4:16like you could ask the same question 4:18without having all the pride and like 4:20passive aggressiveness, right? So it it 4:23it just kind of comes down to that at 4:25the end of the day. So yeah, I I I would 4:28say we have to be kind of cautious about 4:30those things, you know. Um but for me I 4:34personally think that if you have you 4:38know pride or frustration the best thing 4:40to do is to listen then rather than 4:42speak because when that happens and you 4:45start to kind of learn a little bit you 4:47know Johnny I've been avoiding a certain 4:50family member because uh of hate and 4:52bitterness is that biblical is it okay 4:56in biblical terms? So again, this is one 4:58of those questions where it's kind of 5:00asking from a position of like a 5:02checkbox, right? So, you know, um I I 5:08don't think God would want you to to 5:10stay in that position. So, of course,5:12you can avoid someone because of, you 5:14know, hate or unresolved bitterness.5:17That's understandable. Do I think God 5:19wants you to stay there? I don't think 5:21so. Right. Um, but if you avoid someone 5:25because you're for safety or having a 5:28boundary, that is biblical. Jesus did 5:30that, right? Like in Ma Matthew, in Luke 5:335:16, Jesus withdrew himself into the 5:36wilderness and prayed, right? So to 5:38withdraw is is okay. Um, but again, you 5:43know, are you are you withdrawing 5:46because you're hardened by them, right?5:48So the bitterness obviously affects you 5:50and that's okay. Um, hatred I I don't 5:54think is, you know, not unless they're 5:58hating on you and and being bitter 6:00towards you, then it's a little bit 6:01different. But you have to make sure 6:03that that stuff shouldn't harden you,6:05right? You have to realize that we all 6:07have hatred at one point. We're all kind 6:09of a certain way, right? So, yes, you 6:13can keep a distance if they're doing 6:14that to you. Um, if you're hating on 6:17somebody and being bitter towards them,6:18I I think distance is still good, but 6:22you don't It's probably smarter to think 6:24about their heart and think about God's 6:26heart in this. You know, if you're 6:28angry, I would tell God, "God, I'm 6:30angry. Uh, I'm bitter. I'm hurt. I don't 6:33want to forgive." And I don't even know 6:34how to, but please make me willing,6:38right? please help my unbelief, you 6:40know, help what's poisoning me 6:42internally, you know, and help me 6:44release whatever is hurting me in 6:46including that person. And I think in 6:48this way, you become very obedient to 6:50God um versus like I got to do this, I 6:53got to do that, I got to do this cuz 6:54when you fall into legalism, it's just 6:56very very very bad, you know. So, it's 7:00um yeah, I I would say just be very 7:04cautious um you know about that heart 7:07posture because God says to to to keep 7:09diligence with that, right? Um can you 7:12talk about Romans 5? What specifically 7:14do you want me to talk about in Romans 7:16chapter 5? There's a lot of things 7:19there's a lot of stuff do you want me to 7:20talk about the context? Do you want me 7:22to talk about like what is it 7:24specifically 7:25you know that you right u it talks about 7:30justification it talks about grace you 7:34know it talks about suffering 7:37I mean what specifically right answer is 7:41someone who feels a big passion and love 7:42for getting to know Jesus reading the 7:44gospel I'm learning to read and accept 7:45the Bible and I'm very young I'm 23 can 7:48you give me any tips for my path of 7:50learning to evangelize and what What 7:51were some of the difficulties you faced 7:53on this path because you inspire me? Um 7:56the difficulty is always self.7:59You becoming the savior, you becoming 8:01articulate, you knowing the gospel good 8:03enough. You you you uh when you when you 8:06acknowledge that you're weak, then you 8:09become very strong, right?8:11Acknowledgement is the first step of 8:14leveling up because you have to realize 8:16where your problem is. Number one. Uh,8:19number two, condemnation was a big 8:21thing. Meaning, if I didn't preach well 8:23enough, I would condemn myself andor I 8:25would condemn others. Maybe not to their 8:27face, but always internally. What I mean 8:30by that is, dude, this guy's not 8:32listening. He's a freaking idiot. Like,8:34boom, condemning them. Oh, this guy's 8:36not listening. I made it so simple, and 8:37he's still not listening, and this guy's 8:39going to burn in hell, and I guess he 8:40just deserves it. Blah, blah. Like, this 8:42would happen. Or I would look back at 8:43myself, man, why is he not listening? I 8:45can't make him listen because I suck. I 8:47don't know how to preach. Why am I even 8:49preaching? What the hell is wrong with 8:50me? You know, am I a preacher? I'm not 8:52even a preacher. I didn't want to do 8:54this. I And I start getting condemned 8:55and complainful. So, it's always self 8:59and condemnation only comes to good 9:00people, right? A a evil person who knows 9:04that they're evil won't get condemned.9:06They'll just be like, "Okay, yeah,9:07that's who I am and I've never been 9:09anything else." So, they're okay with 9:11themselves. Um, it's only good people 9:14that get condemned. man, I know I should 9:16do better. I can do better. This I can 9:19do better heart is what condemns you 9:22because Satan goes, "Yeah, you should 9:23have did better. Why didn't you?" And 9:25then right there, you're agreeing,9:26you're now in agreement with Satan. Um,9:30right. Right. Makes sense. So, it's very 9:33very clear. Um, you know, at the end of 9:37the day, so getting baptized holds no 9:39power, only spiritual matters. Well,9:41there's three types of baptism. So 9:43baptism is a form of the spirit. There's 9:45a spiritual baptism. There's a water 9:48baptism and there's a fire baptism. So 9:51the one that matters is the spiritual 9:53baptism which will also lead you to be 9:55baptized by you know uh water as well.9:59And so that's kind of you know what it 10:01what it comes down to at the end of the 10:04day. Um people think you get baptized to 10:08be saved. No. Baptism is a proclamation 10:11that you're saved. It's to pro proclaim 10:13that you are saved. So you get baptized 10:16and then you get saved. I'm sorry. And 10:18then you get baptized. So a lot of 10:20what's taught is actually incorrect. Um 10:23in Acts as well, they repent and then 10:27you know believe in the gospel and then 10:29get saved, right? Like the Holy Spirit,10:31for example, cannot come down on 10:32non-believers. So before they even got 10:35baptized, the Holy Spirit fell upon 10:37them, which is baptism. The thief on the 10:40cross, for example, you cannot get to 10:42heaven without getting baptized. Well,10:44that crushes the argument that you need 10:46water baptism because the thief on the 10:48cross was not baptized, but he believed 10:51and he seen paradise after that, right?10:54And so, again, this is kind of what it 10:57comes down to. Can you talk about 10:59Mechisolec?11:00Um, Mechisedc is found in three 11:03different parts of scripture. He's found 11:05in Genesis, in Psalm, and in Hebrews. Um 11:10at the end of the day there is no 11:13genealogy for him. Um but his name Meli 11:17and Zedek right is it means uh king of 11:21righteousness or righteous king right 11:25and 11:27uh you know it's it's very uh very deep 11:31but at the end of the day it's it's you 11:35know it's when you look at Hebrews 11:397:2 it talks about him I believe uh 11:42talks about him being the king of 11:44righteousness and also So the king of 11:45Salem, Salem, right, is is um king of 11:50peace. It even says, right, the king of 11:52peace. So he doesn't have a genealogy 11:56um because it's all about his theology,11:59not the genealogy. It's proof that 12:02Hebrew people don't just get saved 12:04because of their genealogy. It's not an 12:06ethical thing. It's a theological and 12:09relational thing. It's not a biological 12:11thing. Right? And so yeah, he's 12:15basically you could tie it into is he 12:17Jesus? No, he's not. He's not um he's 12:21not uh Jesus Christ, right? But he is 12:25and he's also not from the the the 12:28Levitical tribes, right? He's not even 12:30from the Aeronic tribe. He's from the 12:33Mckiscian tribe, right? It's his own 12:35thing, right? Um because Abraham gives 12:39that, right? And yes, they kind of come,12:42sure, but he's pointing to a greater 12:44priesthood. So yeah, Mckisedc is 12:48basically a type of priesthood. The 12:52Mckiscian tribe is a priesthood that is 12:55righteousness, righteousness, and the 12:58king of righteousness, which is the 13:00gospel. the gospels priesthood. Whereas 13:02in Levitical times, in the ironic 13:04priesthood, in the um you know, Mosaic 13:08priesthood, it was all law. Mechisedc 13:11switches it up and goes he comes out of 13:12nowhere similar to Jesus coming out of 13:14nowhere. And he he he preaches only 13:17righteousness, not keep the law and you 13:20know, things like that, right? Um so 13:24yeah, pastor, is there a difference 13:26between me reading the Bible out loud or 13:28silently? No, you can do whatever.13:30Either or is fine, right? Either or is 13:33fine. So, it's it's not I mean, for me 13:35personally, what helps me read quick is 13:39reading with your finger. Like, and 13:42reading even out loud or whatever. Like,13:44I read internally and I follow with my 13:46finger. And how fast my finger moves is 13:49how fast I read the Bible. It just helps 13:51me stay on track. And so, that's kind of 13:54what it comes down to. I have a whole 13:56other video episode on all platforms,13:59YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, all that 14:01every single Monday. Each episode is a 14:04gospel- centered lesson that you could 14:05apply to your life today. So, this is 14:08more conversational. You guys know my 14:10team, Jeremy and Aaron. We just have a 14:12lot of fun. We joke around, but we get 14:14serious. We get vulnerable. It's just 14:16very, very different and it's beautiful.14:18I hope you guys can tune in. And we made 14:20this for you guys. So, please enjoy. How 14:23do I handle avoiding confrontation 14:25because of ego? How do I handle avoiding 14:28confrontation because of ego?14:31Um, I think you're the reason why you 14:36avoid confrontation is not really 14:38because of ego. Sure. I think it's more 14:40self-p protection. People avoid 14:43confrontation for a n a number of 14:45things. They they fear being exposed.14:47They fear being wrong. They fear losing 14:50control. Uh they fear vulnerability. Do 14:52they fear fear you know being 14:54disrespected 14:56uh that's all byproduct of fear and you 14:58can say ego right so your whole point is 15:02to protect yourself from your identity 15:04and that's what what happens when you 15:08look at proverbs 13:10 15:10speaks about pride comes to condemn 15:13contend right um so pride causes yes ego 15:18and pride and fear they cause conflict 15:20or avoidance in in your case, avoidance,15:24right? Um,15:26so you you kind of have to realize that,15:29oh, it's because I care about what 15:31people say or I fear being exposed or I 15:33fear being wrong or right. You have to 15:36kind of just be again acknowledge that,15:38right? So, um, and and you're not going 15:43to ever not be misunderstood. A lot of 15:45people misunderstand me, right? But I 15:47still have to preach the gospel, right?15:51Uh I think that's most important. So 15:54yeah, I I would say, you know, you you 15:57you probably have to ask yourself some 15:59questions. Uh you have to rebuke the 16:02fear, but how do we do that? We have to 16:03ask, what are we afraid of? Like when I 16:06go and talk to someone, what am I afraid 16:09that will happen if I open my mouth and 16:11speak to these people? What what what am 16:13I trying to protect that God doesn't 16:16already see and has reconciled and 16:18restored? Right? You have to ask these 16:21qu what what what would what would it 16:23cost me to to be vulnerable to to be 16:25honest. The only way to overcome ego 16:28guys is not trying to stuff it and do 16:30better. Right? Do you know what 16:32overcomes and disarms ego? Truth. And 16:35what is the truth? The gospel. The way 16:38the life, the truth, which is Jesus. And 16:40Jesus John 1:14 is the word. So your job 16:43is to sit there and go, "Okay, here's my 16:45thoughts and my feelings. What does the 16:47word of God say?" Right? That's kind of 16:50what it comes down to. And you got to 16:52like understand that you're not on trial 16:54when you're speaking to somebody, right?16:57And just because someone confronts you 16:58does not mean that they're confronting 17:00your whole identity. It's just it's this 17:03has nothing to do with your worth. It's 17:05actually what's what they're addressing 17:06at hand. But a lot of us, we tend to 17:08like heighten our senses because we're 17:11sensitive. So, for example, if someone 17:13comes and goes, "Hey, Johnny, like um 17:17you got to clean up this part of your 17:19car, right?" Anyone who's sensitive or 17:22doesn't want to be corrected will think 17:24and assume things. They'll start to tack 17:27on, "Oh, does he think that I'm a slime 17:29a slime ball? Does he think I'm lazy?17:32Does he think that, you know, I don't 17:34clean that part of my car because, you 17:36know, does he not know how busy I am?"17:38Like, what is he calling me lazy? Man, I 17:40work harder than him. blah blah. Like 17:42right here, you start to argue with 17:43yourself. Like nine times out of 10,17:46people are doing this. They're they feel 17:49an attack on their 17:53identity and their worth. But that's not 17:55what it is. If someone says, "Hey, you 17:57should clean your car." And your car is 17:59genuinely dirty. Like that's that just 18:01means your car is dirty. It doesn't mean 18:03you as a human being suck. You're lazy.18:06You're this. Like that's not what he's 18:07saying. But we fill in those gaps 18:09because that's how we feel about 18:11ourselves. Do you guys understand what 18:13I'm saying? Where I'm coming from here?18:15A lot of us when we respond or listen,18:19we're listening to the things we assume 18:22that they're saying and even assumptions 18:24about ourselves. Amen. So, we're very 18:29defensive towards not only other people,18:31but even towards ourselves. So that's 18:33why in James 1:1 19, it says, "Let every 18:35man be swift to hear, slow to speak,18:37slow to wrath, right? You got to think 18:40about those things, right?" So, so we we 18:43just put out the George Jenko podcast,18:45right? And people in the comments were 18:47like, "Man, like, you know, and even 18:49with the James Ston podcast, they're 18:51like, you know, Johnny doesn't really 18:53get shaken. Like, it's just he's like 18:54very patient. He listens to them. Do you 18:56guys know why? Because I know my 18:59identity in Christ." If you know your 19:02identity is in Christ, then any type of 19:04confrontation cannot even touch you, let 19:06alone destroy you. So if he's sitting 19:09there and he goes, "My fellow heretic,"19:11and I let's say, cuz he did, he joked,19:13right? I'm with the fellow heretic,19:14right? Because that's what they call me.19:17It's if I was insecure about that, I'd 19:21be like, "Yo, bro, bro, bro, like 19:23they're freaking clowns, man. Don't say 19:25that, man. I wouldn't say that was a 19:26heretic. I like I would I would defend,19:28but if you know, I just laughed. I was 19:29like, "Yeah, for sure. Figgity facts." I 19:31straight up said it, "Figgity facts."19:33Right? Because at the end of the day,19:36you know, how I think about things is at 19:39the worst case scenario, you learn 19:41something and that means you grow. So 19:44even if someone disrespects you, you 19:46learn, oh, I can't be close with that 19:48person. Now you've grown something.19:50You've gained some kind of clarity. And 19:51in the best case scenario, if someone 19:55confronts you, let's say, then you learn 19:57to trust. Oh, okay. Cool. They 19:59confronted me and I respect that and and 20:01let's talk about it. And then peace is 20:03restored and respect, you know, gets 20:05increased and resentment kind of goes 20:07away, right? Either way, if you think 20:11about it, you're more free when you're 20:13secure in your identity cuz your 20:16identity can piss people off or it can 20:18uplift them. You being confident can 20:21make other people who are not confident 20:23pissed off at you. That's just a god 20:25honest truth, right? But at the end of 20:27the day, if you're unbothered because 20:29you know you're righteous and holy and 20:31through right all these things, it's a 20:33beautiful thing at the end of the day.20:35Understand, right? So it's it's it's 20:39cool to kind of just be like what's you 20:43know what what's what's going to be an 20:45issue if I just sit here and I speak. So 20:47even with with you know uh the brother 20:50who was asking earlier, right? Like how 20:52do I preach? If you just go and you 20:54preach, you're going to learn something 20:55from it. You're either going to learn,20:57dang, I shouldn't freaking preach like 20:58that or I should get better or I 21:00shouldn't or you're going to learn 21:01something. People, they don't want to 21:04they fear. They want to get everything 21:05right. And that's the expectation issue,21:08right? When you have an expectation,21:10okay, I need to do this or I've been 21:12preaching the gospel x amount of years 21:13and these Catholics and these Orthodoxy 21:15and whoever needs to respect me, then I 21:17can get angry. Do you understand what 21:19I'm saying? Right? Like if if someone 21:23says something to me and I have an 21:25expectation that they shouldn't, now I'm 21:27going to get pissed. But is it really 21:28them being mean or is it that I had an 21:31expectation that was not manageable by 21:34either party, me or the other person? So 21:37it's it's always, you know, those types 21:40of things that ruin people, right? You 21:43you can only get as mad as you allow 21:45somebody to make you, right? Like if I 21:48don't care about somebody, they cannot 21:50piss me off. I don't care what they do 21:54because I'm not worried about that. But 21:56if I do care or even I care about 21:58myself, then they will piss me off and 22:00then of course I will deflect and say,22:02"Well, they did that to me." Now, people 22:04are not just going to walk up to you and 22:05smack you in the face. At the end of the 22:07day, it's just words if you think about 22:09it. But the words, it depends on if you 22:12give them power or not, right? She 22:15genuinely you you have the final say in 22:18letting them manage your emotions,22:20right? Because you are going to if they 22:22say something and it pisses you off,22:24it's because you allowed that, right?22:27Amen. So you you have to also think 22:30about those types of things. So you 22:32know, a lot of the times it's pride. So 22:34I always ask God, God, please, you know,22:37help me not protect my ego more than I 22:40protect the truth. You know, I want to 22:42preach the gospel. Lord, give me 22:43humility and give me that humility 22:45without fear. Give me that courage, you 22:48know, and don't just give me courage and 22:50like a gangster aggressive courage. Give 22:53me a courage with love, you know, and 22:56and give me, you know, love as well 22:59without without parameters or avoidance,23:02right? And and in this way, when you ask 23:04God for these types of things, you start 23:06to then grow. But yeah, basically,23:09right, it's it's it's very 23:12uh how do I say? It's just it's just you 23:15have to really think about God's heart.23:17You know what I'm saying? Like at the 23:19end of the day, God is going to love us 23:23regardless of what we do. But people 23:26miss this idea of what God really is.23:30He's a master. He's a creator. He's a 23:32father. He's a leader. He's a protector.23:34He's a comforter. He's all of those 23:36things. But the one thing that you can 23:37understand him most at the end of the 23:39day is he's a lover. He loves. He's a 23:41god of love as they say, right? So he 23:45will spend all of his time cultivating 23:49the lens for us to see how much he loves 23:52us at the end of the day, right? It's 23:55just what it comes down to, right? Could 23:59you clarify 1 Corinthians 5:5? Yes. Yes.24:02Yes. Of course. Of course. Uh that's 24:05very very valid. A lot of people are 24:07afraid of this verse, right? Um what is 24:11it talking specifically about? Right? So 24:15you have to understand the context. So 24:17I'm going to ask you Ellerin Perez, what 24:20is the context of this? Have you read 1 24:22Corinthians 5? I've read it numerous,24:24numerous times. Do you know what the 24:27context is when you read that whole 1 24:30Corinthians 5? Do you know? So I'll tell 24:33you the context. Okay. Got to be honest.24:36I don't good. So So when you guys ask 24:39about a scripture, no, no, nothing wrong 24:42with it. Please read for yourself first 24:44because it helps, right? So when you 24:48look at the context, this is a man in 24:50the Corinthian church, right? And he was 24:54openly sleeping 24:56with his father's wife, which is a 24:58stepmother. Got it? He wasn't repenting.25:02And he was boasting instead of grieving.25:07Yeah, I did that. So what? Like it was 25:09like this heart. Do do you understand 25:11now? So then what is Paul addressing in 25:151 Corinthians 5 verse 1-2? He is 25:18addressing that people who are unchecked 25:22and publicly defying and they're not 25:24even going to God about it. And not only 25:27that, it's being celebrated about it.25:29Right? So, this is not talking about me 25:32and you who are struggling believers who 25:34have weakness and temptation in private.25:37This is publicly going, you know what?25:39I'm going to go and tell all my 25:41congregation that I slept with this 25:43girl, which is my stepmother, and I 25:45don't care because I can do whatever I 25:47want. Like, this is very dangerous,25:50right? Do do you understand what I'm 25:51saying? So, then he says, "I will 25:54deliver you unto Satan." Meaning, I've 25:56let you go, right? I'm going to It's not 26:00I'm cursing you to hell. You lost your 26:02salvation. It's more of hey, if you 26:04can't even listen to God and me who's 26:06appointed by God, then the only other 26:09option is to go to Satan. And Satan,26:14what does he do? He He destroys your 26:18flesh. Now, many of you guys have left 26:20and came back. What what what was being 26:23destroyed? Your salvation is not gone 26:25because you left Core of the Heart 26:27Ministries, but your flesh gets into 26:30destruction. You you you hit so many 26:32pinnacles in your life and you're like,26:33"What the heck is going on?" It's like 26:35it deteriorates you as a person, right?26:38Amen. Like the Bible talks about the 26:41church as a protective space, a 26:44protective fellowship. But if you step 26:47out, what happens is then you're going 26:51to be, you know, disciplined in a way 26:55that only God can work, which is through 26:57Satan, which is what we used to do 27:00before we came into the church. Our 27:01lives taught us things, right? And it 27:04disciplined us in a lot of ways, right?27:07Destruction of the flesh in Coney Greek 27:10is sarks, right? Which means I'm going 27:13to destruct your pride, your 27:15indulgences, your rebellion. I'm going 27:17to dis destruct. I'm going to bring a 27:20destruction to it. Right. Right. So they 27:24have So he has a false confidence. He's 27:27like, "Oh, I could do this and sleep 27:29around." Okay. Well, all he has to do is 27:32stay inside of the church. Understand 27:34what I'm saying? Right. Right. But he's 27:38not caring about any of those things. He 27:41don't care if he's inside, outside. So 27:43God, so Paul's like, "Go ahead then,27:45walk out and do what you got to do,27:47right?" Because in the end, right, he 27:49doesn't lose his salvation. He says that 27:50the spirit may be saved in the day of 27:52the Lord, right? So Paul knows, oh, he's 27:55not going to lose his salvation, but the 27:58goal here is restoration and repentance.28:01I want to restore this person, but I 28:04can't restore him. So I need Satan to to 28:07actually break him. You guys understand 28:09what I'm saying? I see Pastor Kim do 28:11that with a lot of people. You guys know 28:13I do that with you guys. Not no 28:15disrespect, but I when people leave, I 28:18pray, "Father God, please help them." We 28:21know that their their salvation is not 28:23tainted because of it, but they're going 28:25to struggle because then Satan will play 28:28with them and understand what I'm 28:30saying, right? It's this type of 28:32mindset. Make sense, right? So you know 28:37it's it's just a very you know important 28:41thing right right later on right he 28:47speaks to him in second he speaks about 28:49this person in 2 Corinthians chapter 2 28:52verse 6 to8 right so it's talking about 28:56the same guy who walked away from 1 28:58Corinthians 5:5 he came back right when 29:00you read 2 Corinthians chapter 2 6 to8 29:04contextually it ends Here he says,29:06"Sufficient to such a man is this 29:08punishment which was inflicted of many,29:11so that contrawise you ought rather to 29:13forgive him and comfort him, lest 29:16perhaps such as one should be swallowed 29:18up with over much sorrow. Wherefore I 29:21beseech you that you would confirm your 29:23love towards him." So what is he saying?29:27He's saying this man came back that the 29:30discipline worked that Satan beat him up 29:32but then the whole point was he needed 29:34to be repented and he needed to be 29:36restored. Notice how Paul is really 29:39gangster. He doesn't shun him. That's 29:41how you know he's a true leader of God.29:44Oh yeah, you left. Get the f out. No,29:46no, he doesn't even make fun of him. He 29:49says this was what was needed. He needed 29:51to run away. He needed to get, you know,29:54beat up by Satan to realize, okay,29:56that's not life. I need to come back.29:59Make sense? And now that's what 30:00happened, right? So again, if you 30:04notice, he doesn't shame him. He doesn't 30:06control him. He doesn't spiritually 30:07abuse him. Right? What he says is,30:12right? I'm telling you that you needed 30:14this and I'm glad that God changed your 30:16heart and now you're back and that was 30:18enough. Sufficiency means enough, right?30:21It was enough for that. So that's that.30:23So in times of you know where we air 30:26like if you guys leave or if you guys 30:28feel struggling then think about this 30:30too. Like if you if I leave the church I 30:34already know I'm just giving myself up 30:35to Satan like flat out. You know giving 30:38yourself up to Satan in the church 30:40versus outside of the church are two 30:42different things. There are people who 30:43fell into the church and people who fell 30:44outside of the church. The ones who fall 30:46outside die because the Bible says 30:48cursed is the man that falls but has 30:52nobody 30:53right to pick them up. So the fall is 30:56not the issue because in Proverbs it 30:58says the righteous shall fall seven 31:01times and get back up right but he says 31:05cursed is the one who falls and has 31:07nobody to help him. brothers and 31:09sisters, you guys fall all the time, but 31:11then you come in here and then you 31:14listen to the word and then you level up 31:16and you overcome and we it's okay, you 31:18know, you messed up, etc., etc. It's 31:19fine. But it's when you fall and nobody 31:22can lift you up, then Satan starts to 31:25speak for God. Like I said, if you don't 31:28go to the people of God or you don't go 31:30to God himself, Satan will start to 31:32speak for him. This is where I get it 31:34from. Do you do you understand what I'm 31:36saying? This is a very serious 31:39discipline. But you know God created 31:42Satan. People always ask why did God 31:45create Satan? Do you guys know why? Very 31:48simple. First and foremost he created 31:50Lucifer. So okay then what the question 31:53is why would he create Satan? Why would 31:56he allow his creation like Lucifer right 31:59to do his bidding? Do you know why God 32:03allows Satan to live? for one thing, one 32:07thing only. Satan is an exposer. He 32:12exposes 32:13what you lean on. So you cannot have 32:18right love if there's no choice of love.32:22Are you understanding what I'm saying?32:24So if he removes all evil and you can 32:26only choose good, that's not choice. And 32:29love honors choice. You guys understand 32:32what I'm saying? So he allows Satan to 32:34be the exposer. Hey, if you choose 32:37Satan, that means you choose that more 32:40than me. And now that's the contrast and 32:42the comparing. So that's why he doesn't 32:45remove him because Satan's sole job is 32:47just to expose. That's why he's an 32:49accuser of the brethren. Meaning look at 32:52him. He only cares about me. He don't 32:54care about you. And he's right.32:57Understand? Right? Even in this in the 32:59book of Job, he cannot touch certain 33:02things, right? Because he's under 33:04control, right? And if you notice the 33:06intricate details, he can kill everybody 33:09except Job and his wife. Why his wife?33:11Because his wife and him are one. You 33:14harm her, you harm him. So you cannot.33:17And this later points to Jesus Christ.33:19Understand? Another unlock here. But 33:22people don't realize these things.33:25They're only focused on I'm struggling.33:28Why the f did you create Satan? Why do 33:30you allow him to live? Okay, I get it,33:32Johnny. You created Lucifer and then he 33:35turned into Satan, but why would you let 33:36him do that? You strike down all these 33:38other people who do way, way less evil 33:40things than Satan. But how come? Because 33:42Satan was created for a purpose. Whom 33:45the Lord hath made, the fallen angel and 33:48the evil spirit whom the Lord hath sent.33:52Do you understand? God sends him. Yes.33:55Why? to expose. Okay, you say you love 33:59me, right? Boom. Go ahead, Satan. Show 34:02him what he actually loves. Boom. And he 34:04starts to show it. Do you guys 34:06understand what I'm saying? Right. So,34:08so people don't realize even that depth.34:11They think like he's just there like,34:13"No, he's under God's control. Please 34:16don't ever. He's on a leash. Brothers 34:18and sisters, you have to understand he 34:20does not have free reign. So God is 34:22like, I'm going to show him. I'm going 34:24to use him. I'm sorry. To show you 34:27understand what I'm saying, right? Make 34:30sense, right? Who it is. How are you 34:33still missing this? I'm sorry. You know,34:35I'm not trying to be mean, but how are 34:37we still missing this, right? Come on,34:40guys. It's clear as day, right? Make 34:43sense? Clear as day, right? He's on a 34:46leash. Amen. It's it's He will allow 34:49those things. Now, the only reason why 34:51you would question that is because you 34:53question God's goodness. Are you 34:56understanding what I'm saying? That 34:58that's the only issue because you're 35:00good. Are you guys following me here?35:03That's the only reason why. Listen, you 35:05don't think God knows what he's doing?35:07If God is allowing Satan to live, that's 35:09a good thing. Huh? Who's willing to say 35:12that by faith? Nobody. See, if I say 35:15that immediately they think I'm wait so 35:17he thinks God letting Satan do that's a 35:19good thing. It is a good thing because 35:21Romans 8:28 speaks about this. God 35:24allows all the things for his greater 35:27good. What Satan intended for evil, God 35:30created as good, including himself. He's 35:33like, "Oh, it's okay. I'm going to use 35:35you to to do what you got to do." And 35:39honestly, I'm glad. I'm glad and I'm and 35:42I'm glad that Satan I know this sounds 35:44crazy but I'm glad that Satan worked so 35:46heavily in your guys' lives. You know 35:47why? I'm glad he did because that showed 35:51you how he showed his true colors to you 35:54and you realized you couldn't follow him 35:56anymore and follow yourself anymore. If 35:58you if he didn't show that to you and if 36:00he didn't do those things to you, you 36:01would have never came to God. At least 36:03you wouldn't have a amazing choice to 36:06love God as well, right?36:09So at the end of the day, like I'm glad 36:11I had my infirmities. And that's why 36:13Paul says, "I will boast in my 36:15infirmities. I will boast in my 36:17weaknesses. I will boast in my 36:18iniquities because when I am weak, then 36:22I am strong." But people don't want to 36:24be weak. They want to be strong. That's 36:27like having the blessings of God without 36:31having God. You know, Satan, he knew 36:33scripture very well, but the one thing 36:36he didn't know was surrender, right? A 36:39lot of people know scripture. I'm not 36:41the only one that can quote it off of my 36:43brain, but he but people who know 36:46scripture, they don't have surrender.36:48And it's the same way that Satan was 36:50tempting Jesus. I'll give you these 36:52kingdoms with no king. You be the king.36:55Because Jesus has to surrender to God.36:58Amen. At least in the fleshly form, he 37:00does. Right. They're co-equal when it 37:02comes to the spiritual divinity side.37:04But that he has to surrender his will in 37:06a in a in a humanly way as a an 37:09atonement for us. Right.37:11Right. And so if you sit here and you 37:14only know scripture, but you don't you 37:16don't quote the person who breathed all 37:18that scripture which or you don't submit 37:20to the person who you know breathe uh 37:23scripture, then you're Satan. Amen.37:27Right? Understood? But the issue is 37:30right like like like what papa is saying 37:32right? How have you been able to 37:33memorize scripture? So what repetition 37:35or actual memorization but look at the 37:37heart posture like what I'm just saying 37:40without surrender it doesn't matter if 37:42you can but what what is the mindset 37:44here right? Uh anyways how do you 37:47memorize it? It seems very good on a 37:50surface level. Even in his heart, I can 37:52see he thinks it's good. But let me show 37:54you why that's dangerous, right? Because 37:57like I said, if you memorize scripture 37:59and you don't know surrender with God or 38:01obedience with God, right? Then what 38:04happens? You turn into Satan. You turn 38:07demonic. You understand? Understand? Now 38:11the issue here is I think I'm 38:12surrendered to God. That's why they ask 38:15these questions. Because if I say this,38:17what they think is I'm surrendered to 38:19God. I guarantee you. Papa Butler, are 38:21you surrendered to God? Are you do you 38:23try to at least be obedient with God?38:25He'll answer right away. I guarantee 38:27you. Yes. I try my best. I love my Lord 38:30and Savior. I love understand you try 38:32and you fail. So what I'm saying is you 38:36cannot sit there, right, and and and 38:40only quote scripture. And here's another 38:42question for you and anyone of you guys 38:44who are wondering this. How much how 38:47many scriptures did it take you to get 38:48saved? Don't you have a saving verse?38:52One. One. Right. So why do you want to 38:55quote scripture? Watch this. Okay. I'll 38:58I'll answer. The reason why people want 39:00to quote scripture is most likely, not 39:02in your case, but maybe most likely in 39:04my experience, what I've seen, right?39:06Exactly. Is to back up discussion and 39:08debate. Aka what? To win.39:13to save a soul. Amen, Papa Butler. To 39:16save a soul, right? People are like,39:19"100, Bob, Sudi, right? 100." Amen. You 39:23want to save a soul, right? But look at 39:26how how dangerous that can be. Can I can 39:29I can I show you why that's dangerous?39:31That's pure evil. Let me ask you 39:34something. Are you the savior? Are you 39:37the savior? No. It's rooted in pride.39:40You want to win. Why? Not to save the 39:43soul. So you could look good. Be honest 39:46here. So you know what you're talking 39:47about. So you can look like you and you 39:49feel valid. At the core of that, isn't 39:52that a problem? If I preach the gospel 39:56just to show God how good I am, just to 39:59show others how acknowledged and 40:01knowledgeable I am, do you think God's 40:03going to honor that heart? For example,40:06for example, I was mentoring somebody 40:08She's a virgin. She's a virgin. She's a 40:11virgin, right? 30 plus, right? And isn't 40:14that a good thing? Right, Papa? Papa,40:16isn't that a good thing, bro? A woman 40:18held her virginity, bro, for 30 years,40:21bro. That's beautiful. Right. Amen. You 40:24said yes. Right now, watch this. Do you 40:26know what she told me? I'm not like 40:29these other women who are lustful and 40:32angry and open their legs for other 40:35people. Yes, I pray for them, but 40:38honestly, I love my God and I love them 40:41more than these people. And that's why 40:43I've been a virgin. And that's why I'm 40:45showing people how it is to walk with 40:47God because I walk with God. No, no, no,40:50no, papa. No, no, no, no. Don't do that.40:52Don't switch up now. You see what I'm 40:54saying? So, what I'm trying to teach 40:56here is heart posture. You get me? I 40:58want to quote scripture, but you only 41:00want to quote scripture, if you're being 41:02honest, so that you can be boosted. Now 41:04that will turn you into Satan is what 41:06I'm saying. You you get it right in real 41:08time. We can see heart posture here.41:10This is not about quoting scripture,41:13right? I never sat there once and said,41:15"Okay, Romans 3:23 says,"For many have."41:17No, no, no, not many. For all have 41:21sinned. All Okay, let me do it again.41:23For all have sinned and fallen. No, it's 41:26not fallen. It's come short. Stop saying 41:28fallen. Come for many. No. for all have 41:32s for all have s I don't do that because 41:36I'm not worried about how I look in 41:38front of people I know I'm this I'm not 41:41the savior I'm the swer right I plant 41:42the seed and I don't ever ever ever ever 41:46do that I've never sat there once God is 41:48my witness and go I need to memorize 41:50scripture you know what happens I just 41:52read the scripture and I read for God 41:56and what is God talking about Jesus in 41:59these scriptures so How many of you guys 42:01read scripture and you read it for what?42:03Yourself. Understand what I'm saying?42:05Right. Right. 100. He's being real, Bob.42:08Come on, bro. Come on. You know better 42:11than that. Right. Understand? Come on.42:13It's not about being real. Right. If I'm 42:16100% real and egotistical and prideful,42:18is that a good thing, too?42:21If you love biblical lessons like this,42:23then you would love my weekly Bible 42:25class. Bible class brings clarity,42:27community, and consistency. There are a 42:29lot of us who read the Bible, but we 42:31don't know how to apply that to our 42:32lives. Consistency. Also, a lot of you 42:34guys want to read the Bible, and you 42:36don't know where to start, how to start,42:38and therefore it kind of discourages you 42:40guys to read the Bible. So, every week 42:42at on Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. Pacific 42:44Standard Time, we go through one chapter 42:47and we break down every single verse and 42:49apply those verses to your life. And 42:51after the Bible class, we also do a 42:53group mentor session where it's you can 42:56ask me customized questions and anything 42:58about the class and anything about your 43:00own life. If this sounds interesting to 43:02you, you guys can check the link in the 43:04bio and use code wisdom to get 50% off 43:07your first month. See you guys this 43:09Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Standard 43:12Time. Guys, try not to egg people on,43:15especially people who are new and need 43:18the gospel. If you think that it's okay 43:20to egg people on in that way, that's 43:22very dangerous. Do you guys understand 43:24what I'm saying? Right? You have to 43:27realize something here, guys, in these 43:30main stages. And I know you guys, a lot 43:32of you guys with the clover thing on the 43:33side is new, right? Amen. Right? You 43:37have to realize surrender has to come 43:39first before understanding and 43:42knowledge. Because if you just have 43:44knowledge without surrender, like I 43:46said, you will become Satan. That's 43:48Satan. He is the most unsurdered person,43:52but also the most wisest. It says in the 43:55Bible, in Ezekiel, as well as Isaiah,43:57that he's made of bag pipes. He's 44:00beautiful. He's wise as can be. It says 44:04they call him the bright and morning 44:05star, too, right? Jesus is the morning 44:08star, but he fell like a morning star,44:10right? Meaning he was on that level with 44:12him. Do you understand what I'm saying?44:15Understand? Right? So it means he had 44:18that beauty that Jesus had. He had that 44:21brain that Jesus had. He had that wisdom 44:24that Jesus had. But the one thing he did 44:26not have was surrender. Do you 44:29understand what I'm saying? Right?44:31That's the issue with him. He couldn't 44:33surrender himself. Everything he ever 44:36did was for himself. Whereas everything 44:38Jesus ever did was for God and the glory 44:41of God. So even when you guys say I'm 44:45doing this for the glory of God, right?44:48You have to really check that motive 44:51deeply. And I'm going to say most of you 44:53guys don't even know how to check your 44:55own heart posture. Amen. Most of us, I 44:59would say, don't even know how to. I'll 45:02give you an example. Check my heart 45:03posture right now. Okay? For those of 45:06you guys who've learned, please don't 45:08say anything. Okay, guys. Right. Did 45:12King Saul after committing suicide, did 45:16he go to heaven? Yes or no? Yes. Raul 45:21failed. Lana failed.45:24Elizabeth failed. Well, did Okay. It's 45:28up to God. Okay.45:30I don't know. For the honor and the 45:32glory of God. Oh, we don't understand 45:34God's grace. Yes. You guys all failed.45:37Can I explain to you why? No idea.45:40failed. I don't know. Failed. Dead face 45:43emoji failed. What did I explain to you 45:46guys? Did you hear what I said? I said 45:50King Saul went to heaven, but look at my 45:53heart posture, right? Did King Saul go 45:55to heaven or not? But look at my heart 45:58posture. My heart posture. There you go.46:02The the question shouldn't be yes or no.46:05The question should be why do you want 46:06to know this? And then watch this. Well,46:09I just want to know because God had 46:12stated that he was anointed and then 46:14later on he left the spirit. So, right,46:18the spirit left him. So, what's going 46:20on? So, two things are happening in my 46:23heart. I'm leaking as I'm speaking.46:24Let's see if you can catch it. You want 46:26to live for flesh or off yourself and 46:28still be saved. Right? You learned this,46:30right? Obviously, I said to the people 46:32who didn't learn this, understand what 46:34I'm saying, right? Didn't God have 46:37regret about Saul? Right? Right? See,46:38look, we're only focusing on surface 46:41level. So, this is the heart posture.46:44When I sit here and I ask that question,46:47it's the same as asking, "Can I live 46:50however I want just like Saul did?" And 46:53then even if I go to destruction and 46:55death, go to heaven still. Now, if you 46:58guys answer that, you're going to egg 47:00someone to do that. Do you understand?47:03You're going to convince and coers them 47:05and even enable them enable them to do 47:07that. Right? Do you guys understand what 47:09I'm saying? Hey guys, so technically I'm 47:12righteous, right, brothers and sisters?47:14So if I smoke weed tomorrow, watch my 47:17heart. Watch my heart. So technically 47:19we're righteous and and and perfected,47:21right, brothers and sisters? But 47:22tomorrow, if I smoke weed again,47:25wouldn't that I'm still righteous and 47:27perfected, aren't I? What's my heart 47:30posture? It's This one's more obvious.47:33What is it? I want to smoke weed and I 47:36want to live the way I want to live and 47:38I don't want to surrender under God. Do 47:41you understand what I'm saying? Right?47:44Make sense? The way you guys speak, you 47:47know there's a saying that I always say,47:48right? When you speak, you leak. Amen.47:51When someone speaks, they are going to 47:54leak. That myself included. So if I only 47:57speak about the gospel, that's what I 47:59leak out. If I only talk about, you 48:01know, drugs, that's that's what I leak 48:03out. Do do you guys understand what I'm 48:05saying? Everyone's like that. If I'm 48:06only talking about how right I am, then 48:08that means I have self-righteousness.48:11So, in the same stroke, we really have 48:13to learn how to read heart posture. The 48:15issue is we don't even know how to read 48:17other people's heart posture, let alone 48:19our own. That's why when I sit here and 48:21I go, "Hey, brother, you're a little bit 48:23this." No, I'm not. You don't even know 48:25me. It becomes this. because they don't 48:28realize even their own heart posture.48:30What are you talking about? I'm just 48:31asking a question, bro. Right? It 48:33becomes this. There's a there's a 48:35callousing that that kind of arises and 48:38that arises in everybody. But the ones 48:40who are different are the ones who go hm 48:43okay he saw something and I didn't like 48:45him touching me there and like you know 48:47exposing that part of my heart. He 48:49touched and pricricked a part but I 48:50don't like it but let me hear him out.48:52Understand what I'm saying? Right? Like 48:55even this this scripture right even what 48:58he's asking here how can you read heart 48:59posture when the heart is the biggest 49:01liar right and then it'll be that's a 49:04genuine question amen but what is the 49:06heart behind that you guys understand 49:08what I'm saying what is the heart behind 49:11that right basically it's like this you 49:14can't really read heart posture but 49:16there's also a a 50% he wants to also 49:18know like he's open to it but he's not 49:22do you understand what I'm saying right 49:24there's there's There's already an 49:25assumption here that's like you can't 49:27really read hard posture, but I'm I'm 49:29willing to hear you out.49:31Now, that I cannot address. I have to 49:34address first that if you only follow 49:36when you agree and it makes sense to 49:37you, Papa, who are you listening to, God 49:41or yourself? See how you have to address 49:44that first? Do you understand what I'm 49:46saying? You're basically asking me to 49:48make it make sense to you. Then if it 49:51does, you'll agree. But that doesn't 49:53mean that you have faith because faith 49:55is things that don't make sense and we 49:58still have to believe. Amen. Amen. So 50:01then now that we understand the root 50:03issue, now I can address it. If you can 50:06confirm with this and I can address it,50:08right? First and foremost, the way you 50:11read heart posture is to read it through 50:14scripture. Everything that I'm saying is 50:17through scripture because a man devisth 50:21his plans. It says and the end result,50:25right, is what? God has to see it.50:28There's also another verse in Proverbs,50:30a man deiseth his way, right? God leads 50:34his steps. But there's also another 50:36scripture, a man devises heart. Three 50:39different scriptures. But the end of it,50:42right, what's right to him in his eyes,50:44the end of it is destruction, right? And 50:47the last part of it is very important.50:50What you quoted was Jeremiah 17:9.50:53Right? The heart is deceitful above all 50:55things, desperately wicked. Who can know 50:56it? That last part, you have to 50:58understand, you're right. Who can know 51:00it? But God knows all things. Right.51:03Right. And who is God? Jesus. Right. In 51:07John 1:14, what is Jesus? If he knows 51:10all things, how can you know the heart 51:12then? By going to Jesus. But what does 51:14it mean to go to Jesus? Logos. John 51:171:14. It says, "The word was made flesh 51:22and dwelt among us." So if you go to 51:25Jesus, which is the word, and he knows 51:28all things, it means the Bible knows all 51:30things. So how can I know the heart? If 51:33we go to the Bible, right? Amen. So 51:38that's what it comes down to at the end 51:39of the day. And plus, we also have a new 51:41heart. We have a new heart in Ezekiel 51:4336:26 that tells us he's God has given 51:46us a new heart, right? So I know your 51:49heart. And I I'll explain why I know.51:52Because the new heart is not an evil 51:54heart. It's to distrust your old heart.51:57That's why he says, "I'll give you a new 51:58spirit and a new heart." Now, but based 52:01off of what you're speaking about, I can 52:03tell how much you think you're a good 52:05person. Even if you tell me no, I don't 52:08think so. The fact that you can ask 52:10those questions proves that you're a 52:12good person. Proves that you can still 52:14trust in yourself and your mind to ask 52:16those questions. Do you understand what 52:18I'm saying? Right? The new heart is to 52:22distrust the old heart. Is to realize I 52:24am nothing. I have nothing. I was never 52:27good. But there's parts of us that every 52:30one of us in here that still struggles 52:32with. But I do know. And I'm just asking 52:35a question. Do you guys understand that 52:38heart is what I'm talking about? And 52:40even though people say like, let me ask 52:43you guys an honest question. Pull up uh 52:45Jeremiah 17:9 again. Those of you who 52:48did this exercise with me, don't don't 52:50answer. Let the new people like maybe 52:52the papa guy and other people, right,52:54who have the golden clover or the green 52:57clover. So So let's read this carefully.53:00Papa, let me ask you since you're kind 53:01of asking these questions, right? The 53:03heart is deceitful above all things,53:05desperately wicked. Who can know it? Do 53:07you believe this word? You believe,53:09right? The heart is deceitful above all 53:10things. Amen. Right. Look, Elizabeth 53:12Vexon, right? Mr. Elijah, right? Amen.53:16Amen. Right, Daniel? Yes. It leaks 53:18sometimes. Hagen. Yes. Yes. I'm going to 53:21tell you guys that you're all liars and 53:23I'll prove it to you. No disrespect.53:25I'll prove it to you because the Bible 53:27says all men are liars. Let God be true.53:28Myself included. I don't even know my 53:30heart. Understand? So let's let's be 53:32clear about this. Okay, look. Do you 53:35guys struggle with anxiety, depression 53:37or any type of sin? Like let's say 53:40anxiety or depression or emptiness. So 53:42Hagen, you you you right papa, you do,53:44right? XYZ, Nimrod, Elizabeth, worry,53:47lust, right? ADHD. Okay, interesting.53:50And those things arise where? From your 53:53heart, doesn't it? So let me ask you 53:55something. You just said you believe 53:56that the heart is deceitful, meaning 53:58it's a liar. above all things, meaning a 54:00top liar. And it says it's desperately 54:03wicked. So, uh, not just kind of bad,54:05extremely ugly and wicked. And who can 54:08know it? Meaning, we don't know. But you 54:10told me you do. So, let me explain 54:12something. Would you guys trust a 54:14pathological liar? No. No. No. No. No.54:17No. No. No. Would you trust a person 54:19who's like a serial killer, narcissistic 54:21person who's evil beyond anything? No.54:26And yet you trust your heart which is 54:29more of a liar and more wicked than 54:31them. Because if God is saying right 54:35your heart is deceitful. So what I'm 54:39trying to say is although you yeah I 54:40believe this word is God. Yeah. You you 54:42think you believe. See that's the 54:44difference. People think they believe.54:48They don't actually believe. They just 54:50think that they believe. They're in love 54:52with this idea of love. They're in they 54:54think that they're following God.54:56They're not actually following God. Does 54:59that make sense? Because if you really 55:01did, you would say, "No, I don't have 55:02depression." Even if depression comes,55:04because the heart is deceitful. Feelings 55:07change. You wouldn't say, "Yes, I do."55:10Do you understand?55:12True believing people will go, "You know 55:14what? That's wrong. That's not true."55:18Amen. Right? You can't believe, but also 55:22blind yourself to it. You can believe 55:24but also blind yourself to it too. I 55:26don't know what that means respectfully.55:28But what I'm saying here is right guess 55:30about it. Think about it. Right. Think 55:33about it. Right. I 100% know I don't 55:36love God as much as I do my daughter and 55:37I'm no I'm not supposed to. I'm turning 55:39away from my heart and I recognize it 55:41but just looking for the path away from 55:43it. No, no, no, no. Can I Can I tell you 55:45what it is? Can I tell you what it comes 55:47down to? You trying to turn away from 55:50your heart is still trusting in your 55:52heart.55:53Because you're trusting in self, not 55:55trusting in God. Do you understand what 55:58I'm saying? You just said it. It's 56:00turning away from my heart. And I 56:03recognize it, but just looking for the 56:06path away from it. You're looking,56:09you're trying to turn. You're doing it.56:11It's still trusting in self. What we 56:14teach here is distrusting self. No, I 56:16cannot do it. That's acknowledgment. And 56:19that's why God has to do it. So the more 56:22you come in here, right, you're going to 56:25learn like JQ is having these unlocks.56:27Dude, everything I think I can do is 56:29wrong. This is crazy. Exactly. That's 56:31why you have to be here because faith 56:34comes by hearing hearing the word of 56:35God. Wow, that clicks so hard. Amen. So 56:37I'm not trying to be disrespectful. My 56:39tonality may seem a little, but I'm 56:41trying to lead you for restoration so 56:43you can be free. So what I've taught 56:46anyone in here, don't try to speak to me 56:48about what you think you are because we 56:51know what you are according to the 56:52scripture. Do you understand? I'm so 56:56bad, but I want to discuss and debate 56:58with people. Can that ever work? No.57:01That's why we have to there's many 57:03things we got to fix, but we have to be 57:05open to the fixing. Do you understand 57:07what I'm what I'm saying? This is what 57:10nurturers do. People who nurture people 57:13do this. Hey, we need to nurture them in 57:15faith. I want you guys to live your 57:18life. Yes. But live your life for God.57:21Not what you think is for God, but 57:24really what's for God. Make sense? Okay.57:28Right. Yeah. Because again, Zanith,57:29you're you've been in here for a minute 57:31now. It's because what I say, you're 57:33good. Understand? You still trust your 57:36thoughts and and and don't worry that 1 57:38Corinthians 5:5 is for you. It's going 57:41to God is going to let Satan ruin you so 57:45that one day you can let go of all your 57:47pain and your resentment towards other 57:49people because they did you dirty.57:52Right? Again, this is idea of I'm a 57:55person who thinks that I'm good, who 57:58thinks that I'm evil, who thinks that 57:59I'm surrendered. Understand what I'm 58:01saying? God will allow that to happen.58:03He does that to me, guys. Satan even 58:05pers me every day, too, through 58:07temptation and loneliness and 58:09frustration and everything. But the one 58:11thing I've learned is I need that not a 58:14condemning thing. I need him to push me 58:17towards God because without him I would 58:19run away. Do you guys understand what 58:22I'm saying? Right? Amen. Yeah. So if you 58:25did wrong and you admit it, then the 58:27next step would be a level up would be 58:30yes, they were supposed to do that to 58:33me. I deserve that. Can you come to that 58:35conclusion? And if you do, you wouldn't 58:37be so salty. You wouldn't be so angry.58:39you would be like, "Oh, I'm glad that 58:41they did that to me because this is what 58:43pushed me to God. I'm also glad that God 58:45didn't strike them down because that 58:47would mean he'd have to strike me down."58:49Then right there, empathy and compassion 58:51just flows out of you don't even have to 58:52try. You don't have to forgive anybody.58:55You would naturally forgive somebody.58:57But that's if you guys are struggling 58:59with forgiveness, I'm going to tell you 59:00one thing. It's only because you're 59:02good. It's it has nothing to do with 59:04anyone else. It's only because I'm a 59:07good person that should never they 59:09should have never done that to me. It's 59:11only because you have that heart.59:12Respectfully, there is no other. It 59:15doesn't matter if they tricked you, lied 59:16to you, that of course they're wrong for 59:18that. But the reason why you can't let 59:20it go is because you're right and you're 59:22good. You don't do that to me. You know 59:24who I am. I was only good. I was only 59:26loving. I drew a line. I did this. I did 59:28that. You shouldn't do that to me. I 59:30didn't ask to be born. Like all of that 59:32is because basically I'm a good person.59:34Amen. Right, guys? But but that's okay 59:38to feel that way. There's nothing wrong 59:41with feeling that way. Okay. There's 59:43nothing wrong with feeling that way.59:45However, Right. Right. However, is your 59:50good good in front of God. That's all I 59:54ask you to do to step out of. Right.59:57Amen. All you guys have to do is as 1:00:01right as you are, as right as you are in 1:00:05front of God, are you right? I'm talking 1:00:08about remove all the BS. Remove all the,1:00:11you know, feelings invol just honestly 1:00:14in front of God. No, no one is right.1:00:16Why? Because of Romans 3:23. In fact,1:00:19we're all wrong. We're all unrighteous.1:00:23Amen. Right, guys? So, if you say, "I'm 1:00:26nothing in front of God." Amen. then act 1:00:28like it. If you're nothing, do you 1:00:30deserve respect? No. Do you deserve 1:00:32acknowledgement? No. Do you deserve any 1:00:35of those things? No. Then you won't get 1:00:36mad. But people know how to say that.1:00:39You guys are very good at saying things.1:00:42But when you look at the fruit of it,1:00:44it's impossible. It's damn near 1:00:46impossible, right? No. Yeah, I'm evil,1:00:50but don't say that about me. It's like,1:00:52okay, then what are you saying then?1:00:54You're not evil. Don't just don't say 1:00:55you're evil. Just say, "I'm hella good 1:00:57and I'm amazing and I'm right." And 1:00:59cling on to your self-righteousness.1:01:02Right? And then let's see how long it 1:01:04takes you to let it go because God's 1:01:06going to make you let it go. He will.1:01:08Trust me. Understand? He will let it go.1:01:10Right? For those of us who really 1:01:12listen, we get freed from this. For 1:01:15those of us who don't, we get confused.1:01:18But isn't God saying we're righteous?1:01:19But then, but then what the heck? So, am 1:01:21I supposed to just let everyone walk 1:01:22away from me? But then, what are you 1:01:23saying? Are you saying this just to cope 1:01:24so that you can do that? I and it it 1:01:26becomes this. Do you understand what I'm 1:01:28saying? Those who have a heart to really 1:01:30listen and really know that they're 1:01:31evil, they're thankful to hear this type 1:01:33of knowledge because no one teaches 1:01:35this. Most people teach you, you need 1:01:37respect. You're a child of God. You're a 1:01:38daughter of God. You're a son of God.1:01:40You demand this. You demand that. Walk 1:01:42boldly. Walk confident. But Paul doesn't 1:01:44talk about that. Paul says out of all of 1:01:47the apostles, I'm the worst. I'm worse 1:01:49than Judas. What? Bro wrote 14 books of 1:01:53the of the New Testament. How is he 1:01:55worse than Judas? If anything, he's the 1:01:57standard. But he realizes in his heart,1:01:59I persecuted the church. I never even 1:02:02cared about God. Right? 1 Corinthians 1:02:0515:9,1:02:06right? I didn't care. And in front of 1:02:09God, I'm nothing. I could save the whole 1:02:11world, but I cannot do what Jesus does.1:02:14If you truly believe that, you don't 1:02:17worry about people making heretic videos 1:02:19about you. You don't worry about people 1:02:21saying stuff about you. Just acknowledge 1:02:22it. Yeah, I'm weak. I'm lacking. I'm 1:02:25struggling. I'm this. I'm that.1:02:27Understand what I'm saying? Amen. Right.1:02:30But even that question, Papa Butler,1:02:32look, look at the heart in discussion or 1:02:34debate. Am I only to stay back and 1:02:37listen? How am I to participate without 1:02:39betraying God? Can I, can I tell you 1:02:42something, Papa? Have you not already 1:02:44betrayed God? Do you see how it's deeply 1:02:47ingrained in us that we still think we 1:02:50don't bet? Exactly. every day, right?1:02:54And the next thought that Satan plants 1:02:55is what? I I'll I'll say it for you,1:02:58right? So then what? We're just supposed 1:03:00to do that all the time then? Then I'm 1:03:01then it doesn't matter if I debate or 1:03:02not then. Then what the hell is the 1:03:03point of understand that's exactly what 1:03:06Satan adds after? So aren't you supposed 1:03:08to do good though? Aren't you supposed 1:03:09to try and be? Of course, I'm not saying 1:03:11you shouldn't. But when you acknowledge 1:03:14from a foundational standpoint, ah, I'm 1:03:17nothing. Then foundationally, you start 1:03:19to move with what? grace, Lord. Whether 1:03:23I discuss or debate, whether I move 1:03:26forward, Lord, you will help me because 1:03:29it doesn't matter what I've done, it's 1:03:32not me who does anything. It shifts all 1:03:35of the spotlight off of you back on to 1:03:38God. Does this make sense? Right. So,1:03:41right now, you're in a paralysis. You're 1:03:44overanalyzing.1:03:46Okay. Should I discuss this? Should I?1:03:47But I have to honor God. You have to 1:03:49honor God. You've already dishonored 1:03:51God. Oh, I need to step out of the 1:03:54mindset that I can still honor God. And 1:03:56I'm only honored by God because Jesus 1:03:59sent because God sent Jesus who honored 1:04:02in our place, who kept the commandments 1:04:04in our place, who lived in our place and 1:04:07died in our place. There's nothing I can 1:04:09do but go to God and go to Jesus and 1:04:12leave it all up to him. Right? But you 1:04:16just want to be like, in victory and 1:04:17defeat, everything should be for God. Of 1:04:19course, of course, brother,1:04:22please listen to what I'm saying here.1:04:25We are not good people, but we never had 1:04:28to be because Jesus, if we were good 1:04:31people, Jesus wouldn't have to die. If 1:04:35you can honor God and not honor God, he 1:04:37wouldn't have to come down and die for 1:04:40mine and your sin. So, stop being Jesus 1:04:44and let Jesus be Jesus. You be you and 1:04:47Jesus be Jesus. Let me explain. Two 1:04:50magnets. What are what do magnets do?1:04:53What are they known for, brothers and 1:04:54sisters? Sticking together, right? They 1:04:57attract each other. They connect to each 1:04:59other. But when you put a positive 1:05:02magnet with a positive magnet, do they 1:05:05stick together or do they push away?1:05:07They push away. They repel. So, in the 1:05:10same way, when it comes to us being 1:05:14negative sinners and Jesus being the 1:05:16only positive good, doesn't that make 1:05:19sense as to why we stick together? No. I 1:05:22need to be me so I can draw to him. But 1:05:25we keep trying to be Jesus and positive 1:05:28and I'm going to stay away from him.1:05:31Even in this magnetized analogy, that's 1:05:34how our lives are. Do you know what you 1:05:37have to do? All you have to do is you 1:05:39just have to come in here and you have 1:05:42to listen because faith comes by 1:05:45hearing, hearing the word of God. All 1:05:48you have to do, Romans 10:17 says, you 1:05:50come in here and you just keep listening 1:05:52and one day you'll realize, dang, bro, I 1:05:55I can't believe I I'm changed now.1:05:58Understand, right? That's literally what 1:06:00it is. Bathe comes right here because 1:06:03what I'm doing is I'm pouring. Now, if I 1:06:06put a coke can over the faucet and I 1:06:09just turn on the faucet and I let it run 1:06:11over the opening of the coke can in the 1:06:14beginning it will be water and coke 1:06:16spewing out. But after maybe an hour,1:06:18maybe 2 hours will the what will 1:06:21continuously flow out of the coke can?1:06:23Even though it says Coke on the outside,1:06:25what will come out of the inside? Water.1:06:28In the same way you come in here, you 1:06:31keep getting poured into you. Just keep 1:06:32an open heart and an open mind. Right?1:06:35Understand? And that's what it is. You 1:06:38will learn, right? Understand? But look 1:06:41at even this, right, Zanith? Some take 1:06:44longer than others, including me, sadly.1:06:46Right? Do you know what the issue is 1:06:49again? It's it's the goodness. You're 1:06:52coming in here with a closed coke can is 1:06:54what I'm saying. Do you understand?1:06:56Right. So it this one is not about just 1:06:59you also that's why I said you have to 1:07:00be open right so you're saying it takes 1:07:04longer sadly for me why is it sad if 1:07:08it's all part of God's timing 1:07:10because you're good and you should not 1:07:13be struggling that's what you think 1:07:15understand what I'm saying right it's 1:07:18okay about typing or not I'm just saying 1:07:19we we have to address it you get what 1:07:22I'm saying the issue is not that you 1:07:24know we we want God's timing ing. That's 1:07:27That's the thing. We don't want We We 1:07:30want his timing to match our timing.1:07:32That's the issue. So, let's say you sit 1:07:34here and you have to be in here for 1:07:36three more years and then you finally 1:07:38get it. What's wrong with that? That's 1:07:40God's timing. Nothing. Do you understand 1:07:43what I'm saying? But the issue is I'm a 1:07:45good person and I want it now because 1:07:48I'm a good person. That's why it's now.1:07:51I deserve it. Again, you're leaking. Do 1:07:54do you understand what I'm saying? So,1:07:57you need to pray to God like this.1:07:58Father God, kill that good person in me.1:08:01How am I good just because I don't type?1:08:03I'm good. Just because I've quote 1:08:05unquote forgiven my people, I'm good.1:08:07No, man. I'm not good because the Bible 1:08:09says so. That takes 5 seconds. Ready?1:08:12I'll show you. Romans 3:10, right?1:08:17Understand what I'm saying? No, no, no.1:08:19You didn't. It's okay. Even if you 1:08:20prayed for it, it's okay. You prayed for 1:08:21a lot of things, right? Don't get that 1:08:23good heart. I prayed and God heard and 1:08:25no no no don't worry about that. Just 1:08:27listen to me carefully. Romans 3:10 as 1:08:30it is written there is none righteous 1:08:31know not one. That takes 1 second to 1:08:34believe. H I think I'm good but God says 1:08:37there's none righteous know not one 1:08:38aside from Jesus. We are evil. Psalm 1:08:4214:2-3 reiterates this. Right. Tersus 1:08:46through Paul is actually quoting 1:08:48scripture here which is Psalm 142:3.1:08:52The Lord looked down from heaven upon 1:08:53the children, right, of men to see if 1:08:58there were any that did understand and 1:08:59seek God. So he looked down God to see 1:09:02if any one of us see him or did good.1:09:05Okay. Verse three. They are all all 1:09:08means everybody gone aside. Everyone 1:09:10went astray. They are all together 1:09:12become filthy. All of us become filthy.1:09:14There is none that doeth good. No, not 1:09:15one. Not even one person. None and one 1:09:18is crazy, right? Not even one. That's a 1:09:21double negative. So right there, hey 1:09:24guys, I I preach the gospel. Do you 1:09:26think I'm good? No, I'm filthy. And I 1:09:29only preach the gospel because of Jesus.1:09:31Say that. Understand what I'm saying?1:09:34That's why you guys hear I never say I'm 1:09:35good. I never say I did this well. In 1:09:38fact, I'm always like, I struggle with 1:09:40this. I struggle with that. I'm the same 1:09:41as you guys. I'm not as good as you. If 1:09:43anything, I'm worse than you guys. Do do 1:09:45you understand where I'm getting this 1:09:46from? Right? I never said be like me. I 1:09:50said be like Jesus. Be like he don't be 1:09:53like me. Be like him. Right. So in this 1:09:58way we have to learn. Oh, I'm not a good 1:10:00person. So today you guys can believe 1:10:02that. Now people who are good or will be 1:10:05like that's cultlike mentality. You're 1:10:07just saying that so you can brainwash 1:10:09us. Yeah. Brainwash you with the word of 1:10:11God. Sure. Sure. Cuz I just quoted 1:10:14scripture. Do you do you understand what 1:10:16I'm saying? the the people who say that 1:10:18what they're leaking is I don't want you 1:10:20to tell me what to do even if it's 1:10:22scripture then say that that's how I 1:10:25trip up atheist back then if I can prove 1:10:28to you Mr. atheist without the shadow of 1:10:32a doubt that Jesus is God and the Bible 1:10:36is true and God is real will you then 1:10:38become Christian right there you see 1:10:41them manifest well well I don't know 1:10:45okay so if you're all about truth right 1:10:48and you're all about truth seeeking as 1:10:50you guys are right those atheist people 1:10:52then what it is is what they really want 1:10:54to say and they can't say this is don't 1:10:57tell me what to do I don't care if 1:11:00you're real or not. You don't tell me 1:11:01what to do. That's their real heart. But 1:11:04you can't just tell them that. No, I'm a 1:11:06very good. They start to they start to 1:11:07to deflect. I'm a very good person. I'm 1:11:09also a philanthropist. I'm also No, I I 1:11:11love I used to be Christian. I just 1:11:13didn't like this and church. They they 1:11:14they pile all of that. But what their 1:11:16heart really is saying is I'm sick and 1:11:18tired of you telling me God what to do 1:11:20and I don't want to follow you. I want 1:11:22to do whatever I want to do and I still 1:11:24want to say I'm a good person. Do you 1:11:26understand? So in this way when you 1:11:29learn how to read heart posture, you 1:11:31don't even fight that. You just 1:11:33whatever. Especially if you're not 1:11:35studied and you don't know how to read 1:11:37heart posture. Please don't argue and 1:11:38discuss and debate. You're going to look 1:11:40like a fool. And it's going to feed your 1:11:42pride when you get your little micro 1:11:43wins. But it's going to do nothing to 1:11:45bring people to the kingdom of God.1:11:48Nothing. It doesn't nurture people like 1:11:50this. You know, we're like midday and 1:11:52there's three there almost 600 people on 1:11:55here. We mobilize because you guys know 1:11:57that we're going to pour into you. You 1:12:00guys understand what I'm saying, right?1:12:02Like it's very difficult to do these 1:12:04types of things genuinely. You know,1:12:06Jeremy pointed that out. He's like, I 1:12:09don't think you understand, Johnny, what 1:12:11you actually do. And he's right. I don't 1:12:13I don't think you understand how, you 1:12:16know, companies are, you know, building 1:12:19like even 10 people, you know, employees 1:12:22is like a pretty pretty large feat. We 1:12:24have 33 people. We're putting on like 1:12:26four or five more people. At the end of 1:12:28the year, we're gonna probably have 43 1:12:30people, maybe even 50 people on our 1:12:32team, right? To just build. You guys 1:12:34see, we're hiring events coordinator.1:12:36We're doing interviews. We're finding 1:12:38A-level players. It's really cool. But 1:12:41all of that cannot be done if a person 1:12:43doesn't have their heart in check by 1:12:45God. If they don't have, you understand 1:12:47what I'm saying? If they don't realize 1:12:49that they're evil. Do you guys know 1:12:50every single day what my prayer is? Why 1:12:53I wake up every morning at 4:30 in the 1:12:55morning because I'm better than you 1:12:56guys. Because I love to be like,1:12:57"Yippee,"1:12:59and flip off the the the the sun and be 1:13:01like, "I got up before you." Like, you 1:13:04think that you think that's what it is?1:13:05You think I'm like on on a uh David 1:13:08Gogggins energy? Yeah. Who's going to 1:13:11carry the boats? You know, it's like,1:13:12you think I'm that? No. I get up. Do you 1:13:17know why? Do you know why I get up?1:13:19Because I have no answers. I don't know 1:13:22how to run a congregation to be honest.1:13:24I don't know how to help you guys. So 1:13:27what do I do every morning? I seek God.1:13:29God, please help me. Help me with my 1:13:32tongue. Help me with my tonality. Help 1:13:34me run my freaking 33 people in the 1:13:37company that all have different energies 1:13:40and different personalities that must be 1:13:42micromanaged and yet all have valid 1:13:44points. And I don't know who's wrong and 1:13:46who's right. and this guy came with the 1:13:48list of things and that lady came up 1:13:49with the list of things and I don't Lord 1:13:52please help me. That's why I get up. I 1:13:55don't get up because I'm like yeah 1:13:57discipline 1:14:00understand you think I don't love my 1:14:02bed. Come on. My bed never argues with 1:14:05me.

And hey, well, hey 1:14:20Johnny, you know, uh, you said this one 1:14:22thing, but then you said another thing 1:14:23and I don't understand. Hey Johnny, why 1:14:24do you still have tattoos? Hey, you 1:14:26think my bed does that? My bed only does 1:14:28one thing. It just goes, "Come to papa.1:14:32I'll hold you. Oh, you're a little 1:14:35you're a little hot." Okay, here's a 1:14:36setting to be a little bit cool. My bed 1:14:39tells me don't leave every day. Don't 1:14:41leave me. It sings it sings that Black 1:14:43Street song. Don't leave. You know that 1:14:44song? Don't leave me, girl. Don't leave 1:14:46me. Right? Sings that song. I'm like,1:14:49dang, bro. Every morning I wake up and I 1:14:51look back at it and I get, you know,1:14:54abandonment issues, right? I'm like,1:14:57dang, I had to abandon this freaking bed 1:14:59and go out into this world, right? What 1:15:03I'm saying, brothers and sisters, is I 1:15:05need help. I need you guys to pray for 1:15:08me. Many times, I wanted to quit the 1:15:10congregation. Many times I wanted to run 1:15:12away from core of the heart, right? You 1:15:15know, I'm I'm looking for people, right?1:15:17Like I'm looking for people and all 1:15:20these people, you know what they do at 1:15:22our company? We have hundreds of 1:15:25applicants and every applicant, they 1:15:28think we're stupid. They literally 1:15:31follow zero direction. All of their 1:15:34responses are chat GPT. They think we 1:15:37can't figure that out. There's not one 1:15:40person who even want they how how 1:15:43embarrassing is that? Like you're you're 1:15:46and some of these guys are like, you 1:15:48know, older middle-aged people. Some of 1:15:50these guys are like not, you know, past 1:15:52the the the the the Gen Z era. Like 1:15:56they're using chat PT. Some of these 1:15:58even paste like, well, very good 1:16:01question. Here's how I would answer 1:16:03Johnny. And they even leave that part in 1:16:05there. I'm like, what the f? Talk about 1:16:08attention to detail. This role is about 1:16:11attention to detail and you missed your 1:16:13own. Like, what are you saying right 1:16:16now? And they flip. They flip out. You 1:16:19should see the emails. Oh, you 1:16:21discriminating against me because And 1:16:23I'm like, what? Because you use chat PT 1:16:26and it's my fault. Guys, genuinely, the 1:16:29entitlement is wild. I'm not trying to 1:16:32be disrespectful. I know you guys use 1:16:34chachi BT too, but guys, how can you you 1:16:39use something artificial on a business 1:16:42that's spiritual? You have no shame,1:16:45right? I told this you have no shame. I 1:16:46didn't say it, but like in my heart, I'm 1:16:48like, they have no shame. This is a 1:16:51spiritual business. You can use it to 1:16:54organize things. Like I don't care if 1:16:55they use tragedy to doctor up the 1:16:57resume. That's fine. I mean, you know,1:16:59but to straight up be like do research 1:17:02on who Johnny is cuz they think winning 1:17:04my heart is floating my boat. I rather I 1:17:07when you guys apply for a job, I'll give 1:17:09you guys an honest truth here. Create 1:17:11your role. Don't apply for the role.1:17:14What I mean by that is if you jump into 1:17:17a pool where everybody is going for that 1:17:19one thing, now you're you're comparing.1:17:21But if you study a business and you use 1:17:24your skills how to help benefit the 1:17:26business, you have now created a role 1:17:29and a lane for yourself. Do you 1:17:31understand what I'm saying? You're no 1:17:33longer fighting anymore with millions of 1:17:35chat GBT people. You're now realizing 1:17:39let me see how I can level up this thing 1:17:41that they couldn't even see. And that's 1:17:43impressive. Do you understand Johnny?1:17:46Here's a solution that I think would 1:17:48help you. That is what we look for. And 1:17:51that's what anybody, how can you say no 1:17:53to that? Any business can do that. Do 1:17:56you understand? You have to add value.1:17:58Amen. But people don't care about that.1:18:01When they're working, they're only 1:18:03thinking about themselves.1:18:05Do you understand? How do I make money?1:18:07How do I show myself to to to show that 1:18:10I'm, you know, I I deserve this role?1:18:13They only think. See, that's why 1:18:14Christianity and true biblical salvation 1:18:16when I teach you guys is so good. It 1:18:19teaches you how to think for others.1:18:20What does this company what can I do to 1:18:22add value to this company? That's how 1:18:24you should be thinking. But what do you 1:18:26think? I got bills to pay. I need to 1:18:27hurry up and get this job. Do you see 1:18:29the difference? Do you see the 1:18:31difference? You understand? Amen. We're 1:18:34hiring, guys.

So, there's a 1:19:58heart posture that we can learn and 1:20:00apply into all things. Make sense? But 1:20:03if you don't even have the heart to 1:20:04listen or the heart to think about 1:20:06others, which is foundational for 1:20:09Christianity, what makes you think 1:20:11you're going to be successful in your 1:20:12life? Never.1:20:14The one thing I had to learn was to care 1:20:16for others and think for other people 1:20:18and pray for other people and cut 1:20:21certain people and also set boundaries 1:20:23with other people. But even when I'm 1:20:25doing that, it's to propel you into God.1:20:28Do you guys understand what I'm saying?1:20:30Right? So we we do that in our company 1:20:34now. We have a lot of systems and 1:20:35processes and we don't want people that 1:20:38can only work the system or answer the 1:20:40right things.1:20:42We want people that can help us expand,1:20:45who are A-level players and can run 1:20:47their course by themselves without 1:20:49handholding. And you know, it's a very 1:20:52difficult feat. But you know what's 1:20:54crazy? The more I wake up every morning 1:20:56and pray about these things, the more 1:20:57God has been adding intricate details.1:20:59Look at our videos. Look at everything 1:21:02that's happening. The app, do you guys 1:21:04realize God is sending things to level 1:21:06us up crazy? It's not anything we're 1:21:08doing wrong. Look at God making us a 1:21:10church. We are now officially COTH 1:21:13ministries. Not aside from my original 1:21:16church, this is our own church now. I 1:21:20can appoint Jeremy as a secretary. I can 1:21:22appoint this person as a deacon. I can 1:21:24give and ordain people now as an actual 1:21:27pastor. Right? I was a minister back 1:21:29then. Understand? Why does God 1:21:32continuously bless us? Now, this will 1:21:34piss some people off hearing this and 1:21:36this will piss some people off who 1:21:38don't. Right. Right. And and then this 1:21:41would make some people happy. I hope it 1:21:43makes you guys happy. I'm not boasting 1:21:45about me. I'm saying that same God who 1:21:49worked in a wretched piece of garbage 1:21:51human being like me, who's lustful,1:21:54angry, uh uh manipulative, uh lying,1:21:57backbiting, uh what does the Bible say?1:22:00uh lchivous um uh uh plotting, cunning,1:22:04sly, all of that, right? God works. Now,1:22:08how much more so will he work in you?1:22:11Honestly, how much? But you have to have 1:22:14faith. That's the difference here. And 1:22:17faith is distrusting your thoughts and 1:22:19your feelings and your solutions.1:22:21Distrusting your perspectives,1:22:23distrusting your trauma, distrusting 1:22:25everything that makes sense to you and 1:22:26your perspectives and only trusting God.1:22:30Every single time things fail, you think 1:22:33you have to think about Jesus. You have 1:22:34to think about Paul. Shoot, think about 1:22:36me, man. Johnny could have failed many 1:22:39times. He came out with this. He had no 1:22:41education. yada yada yada. God, you're 1:22:45helping him. How much more so? But 1:22:48instead, what do we do? Very hard for 1:22:51me. Exactly. Very difficult. Yes. So 1:22:55shall it be. How can you guys think by 1:22:58trusting your thoughts and trusting the 1:23:00thought that it's very hard? That's just 1:23:02the thought. It's not hard. Understand?1:23:05It's just hard to you. Right? You said 1:23:08it very hard for me. Amen. But is it 1:23:12hard for Jesus though? Why do we always 1:23:15add ourselves into the equation? Even 1:23:18that little bit, you can see where your 1:23:20heart is fully aligned with yourself.1:23:23Very hard for me. Very hard for myself.1:23:26I can't do that. I will never. I will 1:23:29always be this way. I will. Why do you 1:23:31add yourself when God didn't even add 1:23:33you into the equation? Do you 1:23:35understand? Because we're good. That's 1:23:38why I'm good. So, I love Johnny when 1:23:42he's stroking my ego, but when he checks 1:23:44me and asks me for obedience and tries 1:23:47to correct me, to restore me, not to 1:23:48shun me and expose me, I don't like him 1:23:50and I hate him. But all I'm trying to do 1:23:55is make sure, right, that you guys live 1:23:59happily. I don't know you guys 1:24:01personally, but I want you guys to be 1:24:04happy with or without me. I don't care 1:24:06if you leave this congregation and you 1:24:08find happiness and you and you preach 1:24:09the gospel. I've done my job and God has 1:24:12done his job. You don't have to stay 1:24:15here. You don't have to give me money.1:24:17You don't have to do none of that stuff.1:24:19You just have to be happy and live and 1:24:21preach the gospel. That's all I ask of 1:24:23you because that's what God wants. He 1:24:25wants you to be happy, right? Amen. I I 1:24:30will correct, but I'm only going to 1:24:32correct to restore you guys. I'm not 1:24:34correcting to go, you're stupid and I'm 1:24:36smarter. Understand what I'm saying,1:24:39right? Make sense? The whole point is to 1:24:42restore you. Hey, let's not focus on 1:24:44that. Let's focus on Jesus. Amen. Let's 1:24:48focus on what Jesus can do. Notice how 1:24:50the brother keeps saying me, my pride,1:24:52my ego, very difficult for me. And I 1:24:54keep saying it doesn't matter what you 1:24:56feel. I'm sorry that's maybe 1:24:58insensitive, but it's all about Jesus.1:25:00Jesus is doing this. Jesus will do it.1:25:02Jesus will do it. Jes, that's my their 1:25:05their answers and their questions are I 1:25:07got to do it. I got to do it. And I'm 1:25:08saying no. Jesus would do it. Jesus 1:25:10would do it. Jesus would do it. And 1:25:11Jesus did do it. Like that's all I'm 1:25:13saying. If you if you peel back the 1:25:15layer of the onion, it's literally that 1:25:17at the core of it. We're saying no,1:25:20Jesus won't do it. I'm saying how can 1:25:22Jesus not do it? We're saying no, it's 1:25:25difficult. I got to let him do it. No,1:25:27whether you let him or not, he's going 1:25:29to work. He's not constrained and 1:25:30confounded by us. What the heck? That's 1:25:33arrogant to think that, right? There's 1:25:36nothing we can do to stop him or start 1:25:40him. He works where he works. So, either 1:25:43you're going to trust him or you're not.1:25:45He's still going to work. It's just you 1:25:48won't see it every time he works. That's 1:25:50the issue. Most people are not 1:25:51struggling with believing in Jesus.1:25:53They're struggling with seeing his work 1:25:56and not and and and throwing away what 1:25:58they see. Right? If I if if you're if 1:26:02you have an expectation, brothers and 1:26:03sisters, of to make to make a salary of 1:26:10$100,000 a year. Let's say you have that 1:26:13expectation. You want to make 100k a 1:26:14year, right? But I I but you make 80k a 1:26:19year, which is still above average for a 1:26:21lot of people, right? Are you going to 1:26:23be happy? No. You're going to be like,1:26:25"Ah, but that 20,000 though, why can't I 1:26:29get it to 100K?" Like, it's you you're 1:26:32you're getting blessed, but you're like,1:26:34"Nah, it's not blessing in my eyes,1:26:36though." Then whose problem is that? The 1:26:38banks, your your your your bosses. No,1:26:41it's yours, right? Think about it. If I 1:26:44if if when you guys bought your first 1:26:46phone, right? Like every time you buy a 1:26:49new phone, isn't it fun? It's like,1:26:51"Wow, it's amazing. It's beautiful." But 1:26:54then after a while, right, it starts to 1:26:57get like, you know, outdated and right 1:27:01make sense. Starts to get like, you 1:27:03know, slower in your eyes and it's just 1:27:06like it loses value in your eyes. I 1:27:10mean, did the phone stop making calls?1:27:13Did it stop having Instagram? And no,1:27:16what changed your expectation and your 1:27:18heart did? The phone is always iPhone 1:27:2115, iPhone 14, iPhone 13. What changes 1:27:25is your heart changes. Your car that you 1:27:28bought 4 years ago that was brand 1:27:30spanking new with the new car and the 1:27:32leather smell and you were, you know,1:27:34you know, slowly slowly like loving on 1:27:36it and you loved it more than your 1:27:37freaking wife or your husband and now 1:27:40you're like, you do a little curb rash.1:27:43Ah, whatever. It's h you know, you you 1:27:46you used to pump premium. Now you're 1:27:48like, h it's a little heavy on my 1:27:50wallet. H I wish this car had better R,1:27:53you know. Ooh, that Tesla's nicer.1:27:55That's a self-driving car. Oh, man. Woo 1:27:57w 1:28:01right. What changed the car? The car 1:28:04transformed? Was it like a became a 1:28:06transformer?1:28:08Huh? Optimus Prime, you need to be 1:28:10happier. Is that what it did? Right.1:28:13Right? Is that what it did? No. It's 1:28:16still the same car, but your heart 1:28:18changed. You understand? Right. So, in 1:28:20the same way, we treat Jesus like that.1:28:24Wow. I'm so good. Yeah. Wow. Wow. I 1:28:26received salvation. Wow. It's amazing.1:28:29And then two months later, bro, all this 1:28:31bro does is talk about salvation, bro.1:28:33Like, give me some unlocks. The hell's 1:28:34wrong with you? Every day, all he says 1:28:37is distrust your thought. Distrust your 1:28:39thoughts. Distrust your thought. Okay.1:28:41What else does bro say? Understand? Oh,1:28:44they distrust your thoughts. Oh, don't 1:28:47follow your heart. Oh, you're dirt.1:28:48You're dirt. You're a sinner. Hebrews 1:28:5010:14. Hebrews 10:14. Hebrews 10:14.1:28:53Romans 3:24. Romans 3:24. 1 Corinthians 1:28:5516. 1 Corinthians 6:11. 61. Bro, does he 1:28:59not say anything else? I think Johnny 1:29:01doesn't really know that many scripture.1:29:02He just knows those scriptures. Isaiah 1:29:0440:31. Jeremiah 29:11. Isaiah 40:31.1:29:07Jeremiah Dude, what the hell's wrong 1:29:08with him? No, but talk about this. Like,1:29:11no, but what about the Nephilim? What 1:29:13about like, you know, the gift of the 1:29:16spirit, bro? What about sanctification?1:29:17Is it a process? Is it ongoing? Is it 1:29:19positional? Is it progressive? Is it 1:29:22Come on, man. Talk about baptism. Talk 1:29:25about fasting. Talk about things that I 1:29:27can do for myself to feel better. Do you 1:29:30understand? Cuz it ain't it no more.1:29:33That's why we're wicked. Do you know how 1:29:35many people would kill and pay millions 1:29:37and millions and billions of dollars 1:29:39just to get to heaven? And we got it 1:29:41just like that. This is what we have to 1:29:44really focus on. Our hearts are always 1:29:47wicked this way. That's why we have to 1:29:49renew it every day. We have to distrust 1:29:51it every day. We have to go to God every 1:29:52day. Myself included. Not just you guys.1:29:55Me too. Me too, guys. Amen. Right. Some 1:30:00of you guys are just going to hate me. I 1:30:02know some of you guys will go against 1:30:04me. I know. But understand one thing.1:30:07It's usually because the heart is not 1:30:10exalted and it's just not going our way.1:30:13That's why I tell you guys focus deeply 1:30:16and heavily on your spiritual life 1:30:18because then you can't blame other 1:30:20people. You have to then look at 1:30:22yourself. You have to be honest with 1:30:24yourself. Right? Amen. Instead of you're 1:30:27not honest with me, you're not honest 1:30:29with me. He's not honest with her. It's 1:30:31more of I need to be honest with myself.1:30:33Understand? What am I struggling with?1:30:35Am I struggling with porn? Okay. Pastor 1:30:38Johnny says he struggles with lust.1:30:39That's not an issue. Am I struggling 1:30:41with guilt? Well, Pastor Johnny says he 1:30:43struggles with guilt. What's the issue 1:30:44with that? Pastor Johnny says he gets 1:30:46angry all the time. I'm angry right now.1:30:48What's the issue with that? Like, you 1:30:49can do this versus I'm struggling with 1:30:52lust, but I don't want to I want to hide 1:30:54it so I can look good. So, I'm going to 1:30:55say everybody else needs to stop 1:30:56struggling with lust. So it looks like 1:30:57like I'm a champion for that, but I'm 1:30:59actually struggling all day every day 1:31:0024/7. Watch porn like five times a day,1:31:04right? Understand what I'm saying? Like 1:31:06it's it's it's human beings are are are 1:31:09this way. There is nothing that you guys 1:31:12are going to step out of without Jesus 1:31:14Christ. And in that same stroke, you 1:31:17shouldn't get mad at other people for 1:31:20struggling with something too because 1:31:22that just means their timing isn't 1:31:23right. understand that the timing of God 1:31:26is not there yet. That whatever he's 1:31:28doing, best believe he's allowing that 1:31:30to happen for what? For what, guys? For 1:31:33what? So that he can show you guys. Show 1:31:38you guys what? Whatever lessons he's 1:31:40trying to show you. I don't know. Amen.1:31:43It's a lesson or a blessing. At the end 1:31:45of the day, what people don't realize is 1:31:46you gain something out of it. There's 1:31:48nothing that's ever wasted by God. Trust 1:31:50me, there's nothing that's ever 1:31:52coincidental. So the man that played 1:31:54you, the woman that played you, the the 1:31:55the the your home girl that backstabbed 1:31:57you, the guy that backstabbed you, all 1:32:00of these things, brothers and sisters,1:32:02was for a reason. There's a reasoning 1:32:04behind it all. Understand? Right?1:32:07There's a reasoning behind it. Right?1:32:10All right. Okay. I got to call Aaron 1:32:11real quick, guys. All right. Please pray 1:32:14for him. I'll talk to you guys later.1:32:17Bye, everybody. Bye.
