Unlearned Wisdom by Johnny Chang
0:00Welcome back to another Discord stage.0:02This is where I talk directly with my0:03community. I tell personal stories,0:05share deep biblical learnings, and I0:07answer questions from the chat. These0:09episodes are audio only. So, thanks for0:10listening. And you can join my Discord0:12to catch the next Discord stage live.0:14Link in the description. Can you explain0:16the story of Esau and how it relates to0:19Hebrews 12?0:22Um, I mean, when it comes down to it, at0:25the end of the day, you look at Genesis0:2725, specifically verse 29-34.0:32Jacob0:34um, you know, basically tricked Esau out0:37of his birthight. It's not that he0:39wanted to sell his birthight, he just0:41sold it for a pottage of food, right? A0:44lot of people do things spiritually like0:47this. They don't say, "I hate God." They0:49just live like what God gave them is not0:51worth more than what they want right0:53now. Esau, he was hungry. He was tired.0:56He was drained emotionally, physically,0:59mentally, right? And in that moment,1:01what looked better to him was the bowl1:05versus his own like birth, right? So,1:09how then does this correlate to Hebrews1:1212? Uh Hebrews 12 is saying don't live1:14like that, right? Yeah. that things can1:17be tired and frustrating and but look to1:20Jesus the author and the finisher of1:22your faith. Right? So returning to Jesus1:25because Jesus is the one who gives the1:27inheritance the birthight to be called1:30children of God. Esau just despised it1:34and many of us do the same right? We uh1:38we choose things like I don't know lust1:42over salvation. Even if it's nothing1:45super extreme, we choose things like1:49community, right? Over Jesus. A lot of1:52you guys don't know, but the heart to to1:55choose things even in the church is more1:58than than God, right? It's really sad.2:01So many people, they choose exaltation2:04above God. Don't think I don't read the2:07chats, y'all. I'm reading the chats2:08right there. I'm like, "Ooh, this sister2:10is leaking. Ooh, this brother is2:12leaking." Even though it could be an2:14amazing, you know, prayer or, you know,2:18uh uh words of encouragement or, you2:23know what I'm saying, right? They they2:25they seek community. They they seek2:27being exalted more than the word of God,2:31more than Jesus Christ. Amen, brothers2:33and sisters. Right? That's all they care2:36about. Sadly, I I know you know the2:39scariest thing about even having a2:43community like this is people start to2:45idolize community more than Christ.2:48Different seas, right? Genuinely,2:50they'll sit there and they'll, oh, you2:52know, I got found brothers and sisters2:54and yeah, let's go. Like, it's this2:56heart more than like literally the2:59gospel, right? It's like I'm sorry to3:02say, but we can lose community one day.3:04I can fold this up and be like, "See you3:07later. No more mainstages, no more, you3:11know, Discord, no more uh uh Bible3:14class, let's say. What are you going to3:16do then? Just go and look for another3:18community." But the one thing is even if3:21I fold all of this, let's say, right? Do3:24you not have Jesus Christ still? Amen.3:26Right? So, Esau was like that. Esau was3:29like, I'm hungry. I'm tired. I want the3:32flesh. That's why he's representative of3:35a human, right? Human beings, right?3:38They have appetite. They have hunger and3:41they want to fulfill that hunger and3:43then accessorize Jesus on top of that3:45hunger and they don't even care,3:49right? The scary thing is they don't3:51even care. That's the scary thing. And3:54so what? I'm gathering in the name of3:56Jesus. What's wrong with having3:57community? It's this heart. Do you guys3:59understand what I'm saying, brothers and4:01sisters? Right? And it's like, so what?4:03I'm just trying to do I'm just trying to4:05love God more with multiple people.4:07What's wrong with that? We have this4:08heart. What else do we have? What? I'm4:10just preaching the gospel. Why shouldn't4:12I study the scripture, Johnny, to know4:15the scripture so that I can then4:17validate myself4:19and show people how much I know about4:21God? Right. Right. I get so many people,4:25one of the one of the great great4:27questions I get asked that that truly4:31reveals a person's heart posture is I'll4:34see if you guys can catch it. What is4:36wrong with this question? Hey Johnny4:39Chang. Hey Johnny Chang, how do I quote4:45scripture? Can you give me some,4:49how do I say, tips to quote scripture so4:52that when I'm speaking to people, I can4:54give them the word because the word will4:56free them. What's the part of what's4:59wrong with knowing scripture, brothers5:00and sisters? I thought God says study 25:03Timothy 2:15. Study to show yourself,5:06show yourself approved, rightfully5:08dividing the word of truth. What's wrong5:10with it? Shouldn't we know scripture?5:13Mhm. What's wrong with knowing5:15scripture?5:16Amen. A lot of the times people are5:19edifying self. Do you know what that5:21means, brothers and sisters? They want5:23to show people how much they know to5:26edify who themselves. Amen. What's5:29another what's what about this heart?5:31How do I preach the gospel so that more5:33souls can be saved? What's wrong with5:35that? God says, "Preach the gospel to5:37the ends of the earth." How do I preach5:39the gospel? What kind of heart is this?5:41How do I preach the gospel so that more5:43people are saved? H you think you're the5:46savior? No. No. Okay. How about this?5:49How do I preach the gospel so I can5:50point them more to Jesus? How about5:52that? Now you you you can't say that. So5:54what is it then? I'll tell you what it5:56is, right? But let's see if you guys can5:58catch this heart. I I did this in a6:00mentorship class and they they they6:02cried. This brother asked me, "Bro, how6:04do I preach the gospel to my friends?6:08You know, I really want them to know6:09about this precious Jesus who saved me6:12and saved them. So, what's wrong with6:14that heart, brothers and sisters? What's6:16wrong with that statement? I don't know.6:18I know. I'll tell you, right? They think6:21they can know. How do I? Nope. Not even6:23that. Do you know what the heart is? Not6:26even workspace. Nope. Wanting to control6:28someone accepting? Nope. Nope. Close.6:31Nope. Can I tell you what it is?6:34Unbelief. What? me wanting to point my6:38friends to Christ is not believing in6:42God. No, it's not believing in God. Let6:45me explain why. Why? Because in the6:48heart of that brother, which is what6:50happened and what's caused him to cry6:52was he didn't believe that he was6:56already validated in front of God6:58whether he saves one soul or not,7:01whether he saves a thousand souls or7:03zero souls. He was already tying it to7:06if I save as many people like my7:10friends, then I am worthy of being7:13called the Christian and therefore I am7:15validated as a Christian. If I do that,7:18understand? And what I told him was when7:22he asked me this question. I said, I7:24just went straight to it. Brother,7:26you're already validated in front of7:28God. The sad thing is, no matter how7:30many souls you preach to, you don't7:32believe it. And he's like, the water7:35works came, right? Cuz you're now tying7:39your validation to these people getting7:42saved and you being a good Christian7:44because they're saved. Do you guys7:46understand what I'm saying here? Right.7:48So, if you look at the thief on the7:51cross, there's not a lot of people that7:53God handd delivered into heaven with7:55him. Meaning, he VIP ushered Jesus7:59ushered this dude with him. Today, you8:02will be with me in paradise. He brought8:05him to the VIP section. But let me ask8:07you something. This man on the cross,8:10did he work out his salvation with fear8:12and trembling as Philippians 2 11 and 128:14tells us? Understand? Does he? Of8:17course, Marcel. You're not going to get8:19the recommendation. You know why? Cuz8:20that's all you care about.8:23Why would I send you doesn't even listen8:26to anything like this to a church that8:28will preach exactly like this? You just8:31want community.8:33Amen. Why would I do that? Why would I8:35do that to OC pastor? Right. Come on8:38now. Right. I'm spitting bars over here.8:41And people are like, "What's the o8:42what's the church? What's the OC church?8:44What's the OC church? What's the like I8:46said, people don't even care. They just8:48want community." Amen, brothers and8:50sisters. Right. That's the issue with8:52people, right? Amen. Feel convicted.8:56Just don't feel mad cuz we're telling8:57the truth. Okay? So, back to it here. I9:01want you guys to understand something9:03here. Okay? Right? If you're not going9:06to listen foundationally after I told9:09you guys to listen foundationally, what9:12makes you think you're going to respect9:13the message if you can't even respect9:15the messenger? Just saying. I'm just9:18curious, right, guys? It's very simple,9:22right? I mean, we have to check it, you9:25know? I mean, I can't just let it keep9:26going and going, right? I'm watching the9:29chat, too, right? But back to the point,9:32there are people who genuinely do not9:36understand what it truly means to truly9:39like love God, right? And so what they9:42try to do is like Esau, giving up their9:45birthight, feeding their appetite,9:47focusing on the wrong motives. They9:50don't believe that God has already9:52established them. So what do they do?9:55They leak it in the chat. They go to9:57find other people to validate them. Do10:00you guys understand what I'm saying?10:01Right? They teach other people even.10:04Why? Because they don't believe. Amen.10:08Right? And everybody struggles with10:10this. Right? People feel offended when10:12you don't acknowledge them. Why? Why do10:16we have to acknowledge you? Why can't we10:18just acknowledge Jesus? You ask anyone10:20that question, they're not going to get10:22mad. They'll keep it real and go,10:24"That's true." Genuinely, why do any of10:27us have to be acknowledged? because we10:29care about ourselves more than Jesus10:31Christ. That's the problem here. Amen.10:34That's what it is. That's what it is at10:37the end of the day. So, let me just10:39think about this, right? Are you more10:42important than Jesus? No. Then why do10:45people why do we get then get mad when10:48people say you're not important as10:49Jesus? The only people that would get10:52mad are the ones that don't believe10:54that. They just know it. they can even10:56say it, but deep down if they get10:57triggered, when they don't get exalted,11:00it doesn't matter if you're saved, your11:02heart will be exposed. Right? I always11:05say it all the time. When you speak, you11:06leak. Also, when you serve, you leak,11:09too. A person will serve and you'll11:11watch them and how they serve. And nine11:14times out of 10, they'll either do it11:15for themselves or they'll do it for for11:17for God. That's how it is. Make sense?11:19You you just watch them and you can see,11:22right? I I was at a church and we packed11:24it out to the most. It's been up for11:27like 60 plus years and it's never had11:29this many. It was in the thousands,11:32right? When I saw how people moved11:35because it was thousands of people,11:38it shocked me to be able to go, "Wo, all11:41they care about is the numbers,11:44right?" And they even asked me on the11:46side. The pastor was like, "You good,11:48bro? You nervous?" I'm like, "No,11:51really?" Right. They're literally11:53hyperventilating.11:55That's how excit You ever been so11:56excited? You're like, "Oh man,11:59like it's like it's this type of thing."12:01But I'm sitting there and I'm like, I12:04mean, to me, guys, I may be a little bit12:06rough. And I apologize if I say this,12:08but what's 5,50012:11people compared to like 7 billion12:14people? Is there anything to really12:16boast about? Like, if you think about12:18it, you know? was like, I mean, yeah,12:20it's cool, but why are you even settling12:23for that? Make sense? That's a drop in12:26the bucket. It's like a drop in the12:28ocean, respectfully, right? To me,12:31there's a heart not of like12:33condemnation, but bro, you're a failure.12:36If you go to this city and there are 30012:40million people in US and you only got12:455,000 to come out, you failed, bro. How12:49can you get high-hearted then12:50respectfully in front of God when I12:53think about it? Johnny, you you suck. Of12:57course, I'm happy that even the 5,00012:59are coming. I'm not saying to not be13:01thankful, but it's like, how can you13:04even get boosted? You know, he even13:06asked me, "Are you not nervous? Do you13:09do you do you guys want me to teach you13:10the hack on how to get nervous? How to13:13not get nervous when you're speaking in13:14front of people? Can I show you guys13:17how? It's very simple. You don't think13:19about yourself.13:21Understand? When you are speaking in13:24front of other people, the only reason13:27why you get nervous is cuz you're13:28thinking about yourself. How do I13:31deliver this? Am I doing the right13:32tonality? Am I like, you're not actually13:34thinking about other people. When you13:37think about others, literally, you have13:40no mental capacity to fumble or stumble13:43or get nervous. Do you understand what13:45I'm saying? cuz it's not about self no13:47more. So when people ask, "Yo, how do13:50you speak in?" Oh, you're con you did13:51this for No, I've learned I don't need13:54to deliver crazy. Who cares? They're not13:56listening to me anyways. They're13:57listening. What can I say to them? What14:00What do they need? When you do this,14:03you're now serving others. And it's not14:06hard to serve others. It is hard when14:08you're like, "Ooh, I need that bar to14:09land. Ooh, I need them to to clap on14:12this unlock." Like now you're doing it14:15for yourself. Do you guys understand14:16what I'm saying? Right? So when you do14:19this long enough and you have14:21discernment, you start to learn little14:23knickknacks, little things like, "Huh?14:26Why is this person nervous?" Understand?14:29Why are you nervous if it's not your14:31gospel? If it's not you doing the14:34saving, oh, it's because you think you14:36have to save them. It's because you14:37think you have to deliver a bomb sermon.14:40We know so many bomb sermons. Every one14:42of you guys have heard bomb sermons. Can14:44I ask you something though? If those14:46sermons were so bomb, why did you why14:48are you here?14:50Understand? Motivational speaking is14:53different than spiritual speaking. Just14:54so you know. Just so you know, right?14:57I'm just going to be honest here.14:59Everybody is a motivational speaker15:01nowadays. There's literally articulation15:04classes. Understand? But can you get to15:07the root of somebody's heart posture?15:10That's the most difficult thing. And can15:12you get somebody to see it themselves?15:15That's also difficult. Understand?15:18Right. But the it's only difficult15:20because of one thing cuz you think about15:22yourself. Okay. I need to deliver this15:24gospel. Well, I need to be able to gain15:26their hearts. I need to like No, you15:28should just think about them. Nobody15:30told you that faith would come with this15:32many unanswered questions. You pray, you15:34read, you fast, you tithe, and yet15:36you're still not growing. But there are15:38things that you're still carrying that15:39you haven't said out loud to anybody.15:41Not because the answer doesn't exist,15:43but because you don't know who to ask.15:45That's exactly why every Tuesday I do a15:47group mentorship session. You bring your15:49questions and whatever you've been15:51sitting on, whether it's a decision you15:52can't make, past trauma you're still15:54working through, or a relationship15:56that's draining you. And I answer them15:58scripturally, foundationally with15:59biblical truths that meet you exactly16:02where you are. Even if you're not ready16:04to ask a question yet, come and listen16:06in because chances are somebody else in16:08that room is carrying the same weight16:10you are. It doesn't matter if you're new16:11in faith or you've been walking with God16:13for many years. No question is too16:15small, too messy, or even too16:17complicated. The group mentorship is an16:19exclusive benefit for gold members only.16:22To join, download Core the Heart Daily16:24or use the link in the description. I'll16:26see you guys Tuesday. If Jesus stood16:28here right now in front of this brother,16:30in front of this sister, could he not16:32save her? Could he not save him? If16:34Jesus was here right now, right? What16:37are the words that he would say to him?16:39Are there anything in Is there anything16:41in scripture where this person is16:44similar to this person in scripture?16:46Amen, brothers and sisters. Right, guys?16:48Right. It's just your way of thinking,16:51right? Amen, brothers and sisters. But16:54people again, they're too good. I think16:56I have to harp on this every single day.16:59Every single one of us in here, if I'm17:01being honest, we all have that heart to17:04be I'm good. I'm great. I can ask one17:07question and I'll show you. Especially17:09newcomers, this one question will expose17:11you. So maybe don't answer if you don't17:14want to be exposed, which then is pride.17:16But I'll ask you this one question to17:18prove whether or not you're a good17:20person or not. Ready? Do you love Jesus?17:24Do you? Nathaniel's like, "Yes." Elvin's17:28like, "Yes." Lou is like, "Yes."17:32Right. Do you? I try to. Right. Good. I17:36think you guys are being honest. Still17:37learning to. Good. Good. Right. Don't17:41even listen.17:42Amen. Ellis, you caught that. That's17:45good. Right. Do you love Jesus? H I'm17:49learning how to love him. Good. The ones17:51who said yes and the ones who said yes,17:54only answer. Okay. Only answer. Okay.17:57Anyone who said no, don't answer. The17:59ones who said yes, answer. Okay. How do18:02you know you love him?18:05The ones who said yes. Because he loved18:07me first. Nice. Mhm. I have faith in18:10him. Because it hurts my heart when I18:13sin and break my promise to him. Right.18:16Okay. Because I know how much he loves18:18me. Okay. because he brings peace to my18:20life no matter what. Good times or bad.18:22Okay? Because he died for us. Because18:25he's never failed me.18:27So biblically, that's what it that's18:29what it means to love Jesus, right? Is18:32to know that he will never fail you. His18:34sacrifice and victory over death for18:36you. He saves, he comforts, and loves18:39me. I wouldn't be here now because of18:42him. That's what the Bible says, right?18:45Can I tell you guys what the Bible says18:47about loving God? And Jesus says it out18:50of his own mouth. Can I tell you guys?18:53Remember this is an exercise to prove18:55and show whether you're a good person or18:57not. Right? Okay. When you look at John19:0114:15,19:03read it carefully. Okay. Please read it.19:05Okay. If you love me, keep my19:09commandments. So, let me ask you19:11something.19:12Does he say some commandments, try to19:15keep the commandments, or does he say19:17keep them all? What do you guys think?19:19All. Amen. Hallelujah. Salah. Now, let19:23me ask you the kicker question here. If19:25God equates love to keeping his19:28commandments, right? And you haven't19:31kept all of the commandments, let's say,19:34through obedience, through whatever,19:35Holy Spirit, whatever you want to add to19:37it, that's fine. I'm just curious. Where19:39do you draw this conclusion that I love19:42him? I'll tell you. You draw it from19:46your own good heart. Understand? You19:49draw it from what? I feel like I love19:52him. So loving someone. Let's say for19:56example, right? Let's say, let's say,19:59right? You sit there and you say, you20:04know, say you have a wife, men in the20:06chat, and ladies, you have a husband in20:08the chat, right? And let's say for the20:11men, your wife goes, "On my birthday, I20:15want flowers. I want a chocolate and I20:18want AirPods." Okay? And you go, "I love20:22you, baby. I care about you." Amen.20:26And then when you see her on her20:28birthday, you get her steak, right? You20:32get her a pair of shoes and that's it.20:35And she goes, "Hey, I told you what I20:39needed to feel loved." If you love her,20:42wouldn't you listen to her? You wouldn't20:44say, "Well, steak is better and shoes20:46are better. Flowers die anyways. It's a20:48waste of money. Chocolates, like, bro,20:51you can get cavities." Like, you20:53wouldn't do that out of love. you would20:56just do it. Amen. But that's how we are20:59in front of Jesus. Make sense, Jesus.21:03Yes, you said keep my commandments, but21:05respectfully, who can who can keep the21:08commandments? Okay, so what I'm going to21:09do is I'm going to pray and I'm going to21:11try my best and I'm here's my it's like21:13here's the stake, here's the shoes.21:14God's like, I need this. Understand? So21:18then why do you think God says in Psalm21:22142:3, right? We can pull this up in21:24Romans 3:10 and Isaiah 53:6.21:28All these scriptures that we don't read21:30cuz we don't we don't care about the21:31word respectfully. We care about our21:33feelings, right? Look at it. The Lord21:35looked down from heaven upon the21:36children of men. All of us are children21:38of men. We came from our fathers, right?21:40And our mothers to see if there were any21:44that did understand and seek God. Any.21:48Just one person. Any. I'll take any of21:50these. Right. Three. They are all. All21:53means everybody, right? All gone aside.21:58And allto together become filthy. There22:01is none that doeth good. No, not one.22:03Interesting. Let me ask you guys22:05something. Who wrote this verse here in22:07Psalm? King David. But who do you think22:10wrote the Bible? God, right? So, do you22:13think God made a mistake here through22:15the Holy Spirit? When he says, "Nobody22:17seeks after me." Do you think he's22:19lying? Cuz God can do all things. Maybe22:21he could lie,22:23right? If you think about it, it's it's22:27illogical to think like that. He can do22:29all things except lie. Amen, brothers22:32and sisters. Right? So, none of us like22:35him. None of us seek after him. That's22:38fire. And that's true. So, then where do22:40you draw it? From yourself. Now, why do22:43you draw your words above the word of22:46God? Why? Why do you say you love him?22:49Because you only care about yourself.22:52You care about what you think the word22:54of God is. You care about your feelings22:57more than the word of God. Understand?22:59Cuz anyone who really knows the word of23:02God will say one thing. I cannot love23:04God. And what's crazy is he loves us,23:08brothers and sisters. Do you understand?23:11That's what generates the love. Right? 123:13John chapter 4 speaks about this. You23:16don't love me. You think you love me.23:17You think you care about me? Literally,23:20you're supposed to burn. I didn't give23:22you anything in life except for23:24something that a 100 years from now,23:25none of us are going to even be here,23:28which is called death. Curse. Cursed23:30things die. It says in the Bible, right?23:32Curse brings death. Well, why does every23:34human being die? We've dumbed it down to23:36we get old. No, no, no. We're cursed.23:39That wasn't the original design. So, one23:42thing he's guaranteed is death. Why?23:45Because we deserve it. But when you tell23:47somebody you don't love God, watch how23:50quick they harden. What? You don't know23:52me. You don't know my my relationship.23:54You think you know everything. You They23:55start doing this. When all we do is23:58speak the scripture.24:00Do you guys understand what I'm saying?24:02If I don't love God, why am I going to24:04church? I raised my children in God. You24:05see this cross tattoo? I I inked my24:08body. You see you see Philippians 4:13.24:10I can do all things through him, not24:12myself, who strengthens me. I You see24:14that? Like they start doing this and24:16they don't even realize that all we're24:18saying is scripture and they're saying24:19they love God so much and yet they don't24:22really know scripture. Isn't that funny?24:25Do you guys know what loving God is? Not24:28only keeping the commandments, but what?24:30How do you have a relationship with God?24:32Let me ask you guys that. How do you24:34have a relationship with God? Worship,24:36prayer, believe. I like that now you24:39guys are adding question marks.24:42Amen. Because before it was very, you24:46know, right,24:48dying to self. No. How do you have a24:52relationship with God? Well, let's say,24:54can you have a relationship with someone24:55if you never visit them and you never24:57talk to them and you never learn about25:00them? No. Right? That's what you call a25:03person who's crazy. Like, if I was like,25:05"Yeah, LeBron, you know, I have a25:07relationship with him, but I I've never25:10met him. I don't visit him. I don't25:13anything. I don't know anything about25:14him. How can I say that I have a25:17relationship with God or a relationship25:18with LeBron? Sure, I can say he's from25:21Akran, Ohio and scored 40,000 points in25:23his NBA career. I would just be a fan.25:25And a fan is in a relationship, right?25:28So, let me explain something to you25:29guys. How then do you have a25:32relationship with God? I'll show you.25:33How do you visit God every day in25:35prayer? Well, let's look at what25:37scripture says. John 1:1 and John 1:14.25:40You want to know about Jesus and you25:42want to have a relationship with Jesus,25:44you have to do this. It's it's point25:45blank period. Right? Look at it. Okay?25:48Watch this. John 1:1. In the beginning25:51was the word and the word was with God25:54and the word was God. So if you now let25:58let me at you know exedute this one too.26:02John 1:14. And the word was made flesh.26:05Jesus made flesh. Word logos made flesh.26:08Theos too. and dwelt among us, lived26:11among us. That's why it's called26:12Emmanuel, God with us, right? And we26:15beheld his glory, this the glory as of26:17the only begotten of the father, full of26:18grace and truth. So, let me ask you26:21something. You guys say you know God and26:23you have a relationship with God. How26:25many times have you read the Bible front26:27to back, Genesis to Revelations?26:30Zero. Got it. Amen. Right. Four times.26:34Good. One, five. Good. Right. Amen. Is26:38that enough?26:41Is it enough? Is 27 times enough?26:45No. Let me explain why it's so26:48important. Right? Because the Bible26:50literally says so. Amen, brothers and26:54sisters. I'm not saying this to shame26:55you guys. Amen. Right? Other people say26:59this to shame, but I'm telling you guys,27:01you can't sit there and tell me you have27:03a relationship with God, even if you27:05read it 10 times. Because then, if you27:08really think about it, cuz I can read 5027:11times, but not know the overall message27:13of the Bible. Make sense? Satan knew27:16scripture, too. But at the very least, I27:20have to know the heart of God in the27:22scripture. For those of you guys who've27:24read it, you know, a couple times, two27:27to three times, what is the heart of the27:30scripture? Like, what exactly is it27:33specifically about? Right? So, someone27:35said right here, the message is27:36different every time I read it. That's27:38incorrect. It's the same message. I'll27:41give you scripture. Whether you read27:43from Matthew, Mark, Luke, John,27:44Deuteronomy, all of that. It doesn't27:46matter. It's one thing. Understand? You27:49can read it in Revelation. You can read27:51it in Genesis. It's all about Yeshua.27:55How do I know? Do you know why,27:57Elizabeth, sister?27:59To prove to you that you can't. Yeah.28:02What if we can't keep the commandments?28:03Why would why would he ask us to keep28:05the commandments? Right? So, let's air28:08on the side of caution here. Amen. Let's28:10airer on the side of caution cuz you28:12know, I'm always preaching with28:13scripture. If you don't know it, please28:16be careful. Understand that's for28:18everybody in here. It may sound28:20difficult for you to grasp, but let me28:22explain to you guys why it would be28:25difficult. Because it's hurting your28:26pride. That's the only reason why.28:29That's the only reason why. If you28:30harden, it's because it's not edifying28:32you, right? And we will humble here. I'm28:35so sorry, but we have to. A lot of28:37people don't do that cuz they're all28:38about I love you and I care about That's28:41not what we do here. We love scripture.28:44We love scripture. We're going to let28:47the scripture speak. And if you don't28:49know it, you better not act like you do28:52because we will test that spirit too28:53respectfully. Understand, guys? Okay.28:56So, let me explain, right? Let me28:59explain.29:00The reason why God says and recorded the29:03scriptures like that is to prove to you29:06that you can't do it. Right? Love your29:08neighbor as yourself. Let me ask you a29:10question. Do you guys love your29:12neighbors as yourself? Not try. Do you29:16actually do it? Do you? I actually do.29:20See, that's why I said good people do29:22this. He says he actually does. So, do29:25you pay his rent or his or her rent? Cuz29:27you pay your rent. You love yourself. Do29:29you pay the your rent? When you buy a29:31pair of shoes, you go, "Ah, you know29:32what? My neighbor needs a pair of shoes,29:34too." So, remember guys, it's going to29:36expose you. So, don't get mad. Don't29:39make excuses. It's very clear. I don't,29:41but I don't inconvenience them. Right?29:43So, again, that's not what he doesn't29:45say. Don't inconvenience your neighbors.29:47You see, he says, "Love them as29:50yourself." So, my point is you don't.29:53And that's okay. But you only get mad if29:56you think you do. And I challenge that29:58with the word. Understand what I'm30:00saying? So, the whole point is not how30:03do I? Oh, I can't. Duh. That's why Jesus30:07said Matthew 5:17.30:10Read it carefully here. Watch. Think not30:13that I am come to destroy the law or the30:15prophets. I am come not to destroy but30:18to fulfill. Let me ask you something.30:20Why does Jesus have to fulfill the law?30:22If he's God and he is the law30:24technically, why does he have to get why30:27does he have to fulfill it? I'm just30:28wondering. I'm curious.30:31Amen. Because we couldn't. Exactly. It's30:34called the substitution, right? He has30:37to substitute. For example, if let's say30:41let's let me pick someone out of the the30:43group here. Let's say sister Ella Armad.30:47Sister Ella, she just be swiping crazy30:49on her debit card or Chase Platinum Inc.30:52debit card or I'm sorry, credit card.30:55Okay. Sister Ella just got a spending30:58problem. She buys Sister Midori things.31:02She buys uh uh you know uh uh you know31:06the brothers things. She just I got to I31:10got to just spend it and spend it,31:11right? Ella got big money, buou money31:13like that. But she racks up something of31:16a charge of $20,000 in debt. And she31:19realizes, wait, what? Cuz she's young.31:21She's like, "What? I can't pay 20,000. I31:24thought this was something that Oh. Oh,31:26shoot. 20 Wait, what?" And then I go,31:29"Dang, Ella, what are you doing, sis?"31:32Oh, Pastor Johnny, can you please help31:34me? Like, I need $20,000. like I can't31:38I'm going to ruin my credit. I'm young.31:40I'm already going to have a 500 credit31:42score. It's over for me. And I go, "You31:44know what, Ella is cool. I got you, sis.31:46I got you. You're a mod. I care about31:48you." Boom. I shoot her $2,000. I'm31:51sorry, $20,000. And I pay for it. Does31:53the Chase Company go, "Oh, no, no, no,31:56no, no. That heretic, Johnny Chang, this31:59money, I can smell it. Oh, it smells32:01like orange chicken and fried rice."32:03Nope. We're not taking that. Nope.32:04Sorry. No, no, Ella, you need to pay. Is32:07that what they're going to do? No, no,32:08no. They're going to go, "Oh, bet. Okay,32:11cool. 20,000 is 20,000." In the same32:14stroke, does God, oh, no, no, no, no,32:16no. Johnny Chang has to die for putting32:18this guy in a wheelchair and doing that.32:20No, no, no. Jesus, excuse me. Sorry. No,32:22no, no. Your blood is not good enough. I32:23need his blood. No. Understand? So, it's32:26a substitute, right? Why do you think32:29Jesus had to keep the commandments,32:31brothers and sisters? Why? because you32:33couldn't. Why do you think he had to32:35die? Because you couldn't. If you die,32:38you'll die in your sins and you go32:40straight to hell. So, I'm just curious,32:43how do we have the boldness to go, I32:46love God. I do this. I do that. When we32:48don't do anything for God, respectfully,32:50when we live just according to what we32:52think and what we feel. Are you guys32:54following me here? Make sense? That32:56should humble you naturally. But the32:59issue is why don't people get humbled33:02because of tonality? Maybe the way I33:04speak. Because they think, "Oh, you're33:06holier than me." Whatever they think is33:07what they think. But this is what33:09happens. Why do you trust your thoughts33:11when God says, "Lean not on your own33:13understanding?" Because you think your33:15understanding is on the level of God.33:17Sheesh. And in essence, you think you're33:19on the level of God. And if you do,33:22that's not humility. That's called33:24pride. Nobody told me that faith would33:27be this lonely. I thought when I gave my33:29life to God, everything would just33:30click. Community, peace, direction. A33:33lot of us are out here just trying to33:34figure it out alone. Your family thinks33:36it's a phase. You go to church on33:37Sunday. You're smiling. And then on33:39Monday, reality hits and you're back33:41alone in your home in your thoughts. I33:44know exactly what that's like. I got out33:45of prison at the age of 25. I didn't33:47have a church home. I didn't have33:48friends. I didn't even really have33:50family to back me up. I had God. I had a33:52Bible. But more importantly than33:54anything, I had a pastor who I could33:56lean on to ask questions and to just33:58receive mentorship and have fellowship33:59with. And the thing that changed34:01everything for me wasn't just studying34:02alone. It was actually having someone I34:04could bring my real questions to. Not34:06the Sunday school questions, the real34:08ones, the ones that keep you up at34:10night. The ones that make you feel34:11unworthy because you can't figure it out34:13on your own. Therefore, you feel as if34:15you're less of a Christian. That's why34:17every single Saturday at 10:00 a.m.34:18Pacific Standard Time, I go live inside34:20the Core of the Heart daily app. First,34:22we do a full Bible class. Real teaching,34:24not that surface level stuff. We go34:26super deep. Then, we open it up. Group34:28mentorship. You bring your real34:30questions, not the polished ones, and I34:32answer them with scriptures and honesty34:33based off of real struggles that I went34:35through in my life. You were never34:37supposed to do this alone. And now, you34:38don't have to. Bible class every34:40Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Standard34:41Time. Can't wait to see you guys there.34:43There was one guy that I think we all34:45know. He goes by the name of Lucifer who34:48also thought that he was on the level of34:50God. Thinking that he could do good,34:52thinking that you know what, I know34:54scripture too. I'm beautiful. I'm smart.34:57As Ezekiel says, I'm made of bag pipes.35:00I make music. Everybody loves me. Why35:03can't I have the throne? You telling me35:05that I don't love God? If I don't love35:07God, how come everybody loves me who35:09loves God? And God goes, "Oh, you think35:12so? You think you love me? You think you35:15deserve this throne? Sure I do. Okay,35:19then get out. And he casted him out.35:22Amen. Brothers and sisters, I want you35:24guys to understand something here35:25contextually, right? It's called a35:28self-righteousness, right? That's what35:30you have to know. But one thing I want35:32to exede for you guys is I want you to35:34pay close attention to what these35:37scriptures say. Matthew 7 21-23.35:41Don't tell me your feelings and your35:42thoughts. So, I don't care about that35:43respectfully cuz God's not going to care35:45about what you think when you go to his35:47heaven and go, I tried this. I did that.35:50I think I did pretty well. What you35:52think doesn't matter respectfully. Amen.35:55Right? What he says and what he thinks35:57matters. So, we got to get right with35:59God. Understand, brothers and sisters.36:01So, let's look here. Matthew 7:21-23.36:04Read it carefully with me and I'm going36:06to show you guys how to overcome this36:08very clearly. Okay? Not everyone that36:11saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter36:13in the into the kingdom of heaven, but36:15he that doeth the will of my father36:16which is in heaven. New people only,36:19please. New people only. Okay. When he36:23says Lord, Lord, is he talking about36:25Muslims,36:27atheists,36:28um, Hindus, agnostics,36:32Buddhists? No.36:35No. Who calls him Lord? Elohim, Adonai,36:39Yahovah. Who calls him that? Believers.36:43So, who is he speaking to? Believers,36:46right? Christians, Catholics, Jews,36:48Orthodoxy,36:50all that, right? So, pull it up again,36:53Ella, cuz they're pushing this down.36:54Let's read it together contextually.36:56Don't type. Read it with me. Not36:58everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,37:00Elohi, Elohi. Right. Eli, right? Right.37:05shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.37:08Okay? But he that doeth the will of my37:11father which is in heaven. So we have to37:14do his will. Notice how he doesn't say37:16but he that doeth his own will of37:19himself gets himself into heaven. No.37:21Right. The will of my father. Now let's37:24continue. Let's read this carefully37:25here. 22. Many will say to me in that37:29day in that day what? The day of37:31judgment. Lord, Lord, Eli, have we not37:35prophesied in thy name? Stop right37:38there. Prophecy, new believers, people37:41who are new here. Isn't that a gift of37:43the spirit? Holy Spirit. So, they're37:45doing the works of the Holy Spirit. Not37:47in their own name. In Jesus' name. Is37:50that a good thing or a bad thing? I37:52would say it's pretty good.37:54Amen. Right. Right. Push. Okay. Post it37:58again, sister Ellis. One more time,38:02let's read. So they haven't we38:04prophesied in your name, Jesus name,38:06Yeshua, and in thy name have cast out38:09devils. Stop right there. Casting out38:12demons called otherwise known as38:15deliverance.38:16Good thing. No. In Jesus' name. Good38:20thing. Okay. Good. Good. Good. Good. And38:23in thy name done many wonderful works.38:28Faith without works is dead. and I38:30didn't do it in my name. I did it in38:32Jesus's name. Isn't that a good thing?38:35Verse 23, however, Jesus doesn't say,38:38"Good job, my faithful, humble servant.38:40Enter my kingdom." What does he say?38:42"And then I will profess unto them. I38:44promise them. I'll tell them. I never38:46knew you. Depart from me, you that work38:51iniquity."38:53So, let's focus here. evil doings,38:56prophecy, casting out demons, doing38:59works that's wonderful, that are gifts39:02of the spirit. What the heck is he39:04talking about right now? How can he do39:07this? How can Jesus say? And then the39:09craziest part, when you have biblical39:10OCD like I do, verse 23, I never knew39:14you, Jesus, God, you made me, handd39:17delivered, handcrafted me. You know the39:20hair on my head. How can you say I39:22never? Are you lying? I get it if you39:25were like, "I I knew you, right? I knew39:27you, but I don't know." Right? How can39:31he He didn't say that. He didn't say, "I39:34didn't I don't know you anymore. I knew39:36you up until you backslid and you sinned39:37too much and you did this, this, and39:39Right." He says, "I never knew you."39:43The God of this universe who's39:45everywhere all the time says he doesn't39:47ever he never knew you. Why? Because we39:50never knew him. All we cared about was39:53well I think it's this I think it's39:55that. I feel like I think I and it39:58becomes this. A relationship is not I40:01think I feel so therefore it is. Do you40:04understand what I'm saying? We have to40:06really know God. And luckily he tells us40:09in in this scripture Matthew 7:21,40:13right? No, we're going to go through it40:14right now. Good do you're picking it up.40:16But it's not the Holy Spirit. It's this.40:18Watch. Watch this. But he that doeth the40:21will of my father which is in heaven.40:23Right. Amen. Right. So think about this40:26for a second. What is the will of God?40:28New people only. Please. Of course.40:31That's what I'm asking you. I I don't40:33know. What is the will of God? Right.40:36That we love him. You see, brother read40:38f the Bible five times. That's the will40:41of God to love. Come on, guys. John40:446:40. We read it today,40:47right? Watch this. Okay. And this is the40:50will of him that sent me God. Right? His40:54will that everyone that seeth the son40:57and believeth on him may have40:59everlasting life. What is the will of41:02God to believe in Jesus? No. I but I41:04believe in Jesus. I believe in Jesus.41:06New people only. Okay. I'm going to show41:09you how you don't just like I showed you41:10how you don't love God. I'm going to41:12show you how you don't believe in Jesus,41:14too. Ready? You ready? Right. Here's the41:17test. Are you guys sinners? Do you guys41:20sin every day? Master Jay said, "Yes."41:23Yep. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Woo. So humble.41:26All of you guys. Okay. So, you're41:28sinners, right? The ones that are new41:31sinners, right? Yes. I was born a41:33sinner. Amen. Good. Good. Good. Good.41:35Yes. Yes. So, you guys believe in Jesus41:37as your what? Lord and Savior. Yes or41:40no? Yes. Okay. Cool. What did Jesus come41:43down to save you from? Just curious. Hm.41:46our sins. Oh, interesting. How many41:49sins? Ah, interesting. So, he saved you41:53from all your sins. Let me just get this41:54straight. All your past sins, did he41:57wash newcomers? Yes. Did he wash your42:00present sins right now, too? Yes.42:02Future, too. Look, you ever future, too?42:05So, let me ask you something. If Jesus42:08is your savior and he washed all of your42:11sins, Amen. Amen. Right. But then you42:14still say and profess that you're a42:16sinner. What did he save you from? So42:20what I'm proving here is you just know42:21about Jesus. You don't actually believe.42:25Amen. Amen. You don't actually believe.42:28Yeah. Jesus washed my sins. Yeah. So are42:32you a sinner? Yeah. Did you wash the42:35clothes? It went to the to the washing42:37machine. Yeah, it's washed. We pull it42:40out. Oh, it's still dirty. Wait, what?42:42Is the clothes washed or not? Yeah, the42:45washing machine works. Okay, but are the42:48clothes No, I put it in there. It came42:49out dirty. Then that means the washing42:51machine is broken. Do you understand42:53what I'm saying? So when you meet Jesus42:55Christ as a sinner, what is he supposed42:57to do? What are you supposed to do?42:59Right? Even John here, right? He's like,43:00"But you sin again. We are not perfect.43:03Tell me that you don't know what sin is43:04by telling me you don't you know you43:06don't know what sin is." Right? Amen.43:08But you sin again. Oh, let me So let's43:10plate to that. Let's just kind of go on43:13a little bit of a tangent here. So, you43:15became a sinner when you sinned again.43:17Got it? So, when you're 5 years old, you43:19stole something. You became a sinner.43:21Amen. That's what it is. When you lust,43:24you become a sinner again. Ethan's like,43:26"Yes." Ethan's like, "No." Ethan's like,43:28"No, no, no." Oh, amen, Master Jay. You43:33know that. So, you're born a sinner.43:35Then John is basically saying, "Right,43:37no, but if you mess up again." So, for43:39example, I'm Chinese. Okay, but if I eat43:43orange chicken more, I'm going to be43:45more Chinese cuz duh, I just messed up43:48again. Amen. Make sense? Repent, right?43:52How many types? See, you're not even43:54listening. So, listen. Listen is what43:56I'm saying. So, I sit here, let's say,43:58and I eat more fried rice. I'm more of a44:01Chinese person today. No, no, no. I'm44:03born that way. No. Okay. Then why do you44:07say, "But but then I have to stop44:09sinning." That's when you have to raise44:11your hand and go, "How? How do I stop44:14sinning?"44:16Exactly. So then stop telling other44:18people that you have to stop sinning44:20when you literally can't. So what did I44:22just prove? So many of us are what,44:25guys? We think we know Jesus and we44:28believe in Jesus. We don't believe in44:30him. We know him. We know he washed our44:33sins, but we don't believe. We don't say44:36that we're righteous and perfected. We44:38don't say that we're, you know, right?44:41Make sense? You're super focused, not44:43even on the wrong thing. You don't even44:45know the right thing. So, you can only44:47focus on the wrong thing. That's the44:49issue, brothers and sisters. Understand?44:51Look, it even this is something you were44:53taught. Where in the Bible does it say44:56that it saddens the Lord when you sin?44:59Do you think God is blown away by your45:01sin?45:03I mean, honestly, do you think he's45:05like, "Oh, no. I didn't know he was45:08gonna do that." Do you think he was45:10like, "Oh, Johnny, I I believed in you45:14so much." Like, you think, "What are45:16you?" Like, we don't We're taught that.45:18You know, it's sad. And you're like, you45:20filter it through your brain. Oh, that45:22makes sense. Cuz shoot, if my son did45:25something to me, I would get mad and45:27then I Yeah, but how did God deal with45:29it though? He dealt with it with Jesus.45:32And he's more than satisfied. He says,45:34"Of whom I'm very pleased." So again,45:38tell me that you don't know the Bible45:40without telling me you don't know the45:41You understand what I'm saying? You45:43again, what did I say? When you speak,45:45you leak. Someone who knows scripture is45:48going to be able to dissect it so so45:50fast. That's what I'm trying to teach45:52you guys. Discernment here, right? Which45:56most of you guys also don't know how to45:57do. You wing it. Believing in Jesus, you46:00wing it. So then what does Jesus say on46:02the cross, brothers and sisters? Right?46:05What does Jesus say? He says, "Father,46:07forgive them because they sin too much."46:10Is that what he says? Father, forgive46:12them because they backslid too much.46:15Father, forgive them. They're too46:16lustful. They keep falling into their46:19right their addiction and their lust and46:22their anger. And doesn't he say,46:24"Father, forgive them for they do not46:26know."46:28That is a merciful God. Amen. Wow. I46:31didn't even know. I'm coming into this46:34discord stage. Johnny's trying to free46:36me and I'm trying to talk bigish like I46:39know when I don't. That's the problem.46:42Do you understand what I'm saying? I46:44don't like his tonality. God says you46:46have to be this and we start doing this46:48when all I'm saying is scripture.46:51Amen brothers and sisters, right?46:53Understand? Make sense? See, he says it46:57right. But we do know and yet we can't46:59stop sinning.47:01Right? Again, tying back to sins being47:04an action, not an identity. As Romans47:075:12 tells us, through one man, sin47:09entered the world. Amen. So tell me that47:12you don't know. You you got to read the47:14Bible more five times. Reading it47:16legalistically is better. It's not good47:18as reading it half a time and reading it47:21scripturally and also spiritually and47:24also gracefully.47:25Right?47:27It's just it's just the truth. Many of47:29us and we have people in your Reddit 2047:31times more 20 times 40 times 50 times47:34and they get unlocks like this. You ask47:37them even though they've read so many47:39times they cannot believe it. Do you47:42know why you guys keep sitting here47:45thinking that you're sinners? And this47:47is for OG cop members, too. Do you know47:49why you keep you still think that you47:51sin? It's only one thing. Because you47:54trust what you see more than what he47:56says. That's why you can't sit there and48:00say you're perfect because you trust48:01what you see. How can I say that I'm a48:05I'm perfect when I literally clicked on48:06no websites this morning? How can I say48:10that I'm not I'm perfect if I literally48:12gossiped about my sister yesterday? God48:15says don't gossip. I How can I I48:17literally cur I said what the f earlier48:19this how can I say that because you're48:21not looking to scripture Jesus.48:24Understand what I'm saying? Make sense?48:26You're looking to yourself. Amen. I use48:28it as an analogy here. Amen, brothers48:30and sisters. Amen.48:32>> Guys, our live events are getting super48:34packed.

So, what52:06should I do? Think about even this52:08question. Think about this question.52:10Think about it real quick. Think about52:11it. So, Johnny, then what do I do when52:14I'm sinning against God? Right? How do I52:17keep myself anchored to the word? I want52:20to ask you something. If I told you how52:22to do it, would you do it?52:24Amen. Yes. Look at how much people trust52:27themselves52:29in real time. I will. If you would, you52:34would have literally did it. You52:36wouldn't ask me. Understand what I'm52:38saying? Right? It's very simple, right?52:41God says to deny yourself, take up your52:43cross, and walk. Love God with all your52:46mind, all your soul, all your body, all52:48your spirit. Amen. So, what are you52:51supposed to do? Love God. Every single52:53thought you have needs to go to God.52:55Every single time you you eat is for52:58God. Everything you do is for God. You53:00can't do it for yourself, right? Can you53:02do it, though? Yeah. Right. Don't make53:05me laugh.53:07Understand? Yeah. I'm not going to work53:09anymore. Every single time, second of53:11the day, aside from sleeping, is going53:13to be God. And even if I sleep, I better53:14dream of God, too. Why did God set these53:18parameters so hard? Do you know why? To53:21prove to you, bro, you can't get up to53:23me through your works. Cuz if you could,53:26brothers and sisters, then why would53:28Jesus have to die for you? Understand53:30what I'm saying? Why? So the people who53:34are asking me, I want you to realize,53:36what do I do? The question back at you53:39is what can you do? And what have you53:41tried to do and still can't do anything53:43about? You failed already. Do you know53:45why you're failing? Because God wants53:47you to see that you're a failure and53:49that you can't do it. And that's why he53:51has to do it. Understand? You trying to53:54stop yourself is still you trying to53:57save yourself and there's only one53:59savior. Understand? Right? Think about54:01it. Okay. So then I you can't get54:04yourself out of selfrust. Self-rust by54:07using more selfrust is crazy. Understand54:09what I'm saying? Right? People are tr54:12are trying to get rid of their54:13self-righteousness by using selfrust and54:17trusting in their own righteousness to54:18get themselves out of their54:19self-righteousness. It doesn't make54:21sense. Understand? Right? So, brothers54:24and sisters, it's not a hard thing,54:26right? But as you sit there and you54:28think about it deeply, if you recognize54:30you can't do anything, truly, you are54:33nothing. Right? He says, "But I am but a54:36worm." Right? King David says, "I am54:38nothing but dirt. I am the worst of the54:41worst. I persecuted the church. Let's54:44say then you know what heart starts to54:46enter you? Dang. I thought for the54:49longest time I could do and fill God's54:51shoes. What an idiot. I thought for the54:54longest time I could do something well.54:59For the longest time I thought I could55:02fight my way out of it and be God in my55:04life. And this whole time I was going55:06against God. not letting him save me,55:07but me trying to accessorize him to save55:10me. And even though I did all of this,55:14right? Even though I did all of this,55:17God still loves me. That right there55:20produces love. That's what produc That's55:23how you stop sinning. Understand what55:25I'm saying, right? Make sense? Amen. No,55:28John. No. Just listen. All you got to do55:31is listen. Shouldn't we try? Yeah. In55:34the Bible, it says try to keep the55:35commandments, right? Show me a scripture55:37where it says that. Do you guys even55:40know what the commandments are? You guys55:42have to watch the salvation video. You55:44just just watch the salvation video.55:46It's not that hard, right? Take an hour55:48out of your day. It'll answer all of55:49your questions. It's just very simple.55:52Okay? Amen. Watch that and you'll be55:54like, "Oh, that makes sense." But like I55:56said, guys, if you claim to be a sinner,56:00you have to think, "What did Jesus do56:02for me then?" Cuz Jesus said it is56:04finished. So what's finished on the56:05cross? Just the sins from 2,000 years56:08ago. What did he finish if he can't lie?56:11Amen. Amen. Right. What does first John56:14first John 18 mean then? Right. Look at56:17look at how much the heart tries to56:19understand. Huh? Like we don't know56:22those verses. Right. Look at look at our56:24hearts, guys. So what you're telling me56:26is you just want to be a sinner. Is that56:28what you guys want to be? No. Jesus56:30saved us. Yeah. But we're still sinners.56:32Is that what it is, man? I hope that's56:35not what you're saying. Yeah, Jesus, you56:37died on the cross, but like I'm still a56:38sinner cuz 1 John chapter 1 8:9 and 1056:41says, "If I say I have no sin, then the56:43truth ain't in me and I make God a56:44liar."56:45Amen. All right, guys. That That's what56:48you guys are saying, though. Think about56:50it. Think about it. You read this verse,56:53right? If we say we have no sin, we56:55deceive ourselves in the truth. Uh-oh.56:56If we confess our sins, he's faithful56:58and just to forgive us of our sins and56:59to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.57:01If we say that we have not sinned, we57:03make him a lie. His word is not in us.57:05See, are you going to listen to Johnny57:06Chang? Are you going to listen to the57:07scripture here? Of course, you should57:08listen to the scripture. But let me ask57:10you something. What's the context of the57:12scripture? That's what we need now need57:14to dissect. Right? Amen. Right? So57:17people read that and they go, "Dude, see57:21like Johnny Chang's a heretic. He's57:22saying we're perfected and righteous and57:24holy." Right? He also said there's no57:26one perfect, not one. Right? Amen guys.57:29There isn't anyone righteous in this57:31world. Would you agree? Romans 3:10,57:34perfect and righteous, right? Only57:36Jesus, right? Only Jesus. Right, guys?57:39Right. I agree. Right. Yes. Right. Okay.57:41Then can you explain to me why it says57:43Job was perfect? Can you also explain to57:45me God's a liar? Then he said there's57:47nobody perfect and nobody righteous. He57:49said King David was perfect. Job was57:51perfect. Elijah was perfect. Enoch was57:53so perfect that he didn't taste death.57:54He walked with God 300 years. This was57:57before Jesus, by the way. Interesting.58:00So then God's a liar. No, no, no.58:02Context.58:05Do you guys understand?58:08Amen. Right. Make sense? Right. Right.58:11Right. Look. And they just add their58:12thought because they love God according58:14to the Old Testament. Really? Job loved58:17God? Is that why he criticized God and58:20said, "I no longer want to follow you. I58:23hold on to my righteousness until the58:25very end that even my friends can't58:28rebuke me or change. Is that why he had58:31to repent in ashes as Job 42 talks58:34about? Interesting. If he loved God,58:36what did he need to repent of? He always58:38trusted him. Wow. You trust yourself a58:41lot. You guys understand what I'm58:44saying? Amen. So, what's the point of58:46this sermon? Very simple. to prove to58:49you that if you think you're good, then58:51you'll actually compete with God. That's58:54the God honest truth. That even when58:56we're saying these things, it's only58:57pissing you off, right? Why, though?59:00Think about it, guys. It's only pissing59:02you off because you're like, "What the59:04hell, dude? I don't feel good. This59:06isn't supposed to this doesn't make me59:07feel good." A sermon isn't supposed to59:09make you feel good. It's supposed to59:11discern. I'll show you. I'll show you.59:14Right? Maybe you'll believe me when I59:16even though I've been giving only59:17scripture. Maybe you'll believe me when59:18I say this. Hebrews 4:12. Let's look at59:21it carefully. Look at it. Look at it59:23carefully. Right? This is how you59:25discern. By the way, discernment. Okay.59:27For the word of God, word of God is59:29quick and powerful and sharper than any59:33two-edged sword. What do swords do? They59:35cut. Piercing even. So they pierce and59:38they cut. The dividing ascender of soul59:41and spirit. So they remove soul. Evil59:43spirit and evil soul and good spirit.59:45They divide it. They separated and of59:47the joints of the marorrow. Even in your59:49bones, you can feel it. And is a what?59:52Discerner. Remember how you say you guys59:54want discernment? It's a discerner of59:57the thoughts and the intents of the59:58heart. So if I'm only preaching1:00:00scripture and you feel some type of way,1:00:02that means you are on the other side. Do1:00:05you guys understand what I'm saying?1:00:07Amen. That's the problem, right? Imagine1:00:10saying that to somebody who's only1:00:12preaching the word. So what's the point1:00:13of what's the point of this? like you1:00:15show you're showing your heart. Harden1:00:17not your heart today when you hear the1:00:19word. Brothers and sisters, I'm sorry,1:00:21but this is the real I'm not being1:00:22aggressive with you guys. I'm just being1:00:25honest. We make true disciples here. We1:00:28don't sit here and just lolly gag and1:00:30yeah, brother. Yes, sister. Amen. You're1:00:32amazing. We don't do that because I have1:00:35to answer for that. Do you guys1:00:36understand what I'm saying? I literally1:00:38have to answer for that. I will burn and1:00:41you will burn too if I only tell you1:00:43what you want to hear, not what needs to1:00:45be said. And I'm sorry to say, but a lot1:00:47of churches are doing that. They're1:00:49tricking you hella hard and all you want1:00:52to do, you're eating it up. I'm sorry to1:00:55say, guys, we have to level set time to1:00:57time. Amen. Right. I love when people1:01:01follow me and they're like, "Wow, I love1:01:04unlocks chasing dopamine." But then when1:01:06I ask for surrender, right? When I ask1:01:09for obedience and just listening to the1:01:11word, they don't want to hear that. They1:01:13just want to go teach me how I can quote1:01:15scripture, learn scripture, have this1:01:17wisdom, grow with God, and that's it.1:01:20Anything else that comes with obedience1:01:21and whatnot, right? Amen. Amen, guys.1:01:25You look at John 6. I'll show you guys.1:01:28Okay? Verse 60. John 660. I'm going to1:01:32show you guys something really cool1:01:34about what Jesus said out of his own1:01:36mouth. Ready? You ready? Right. Many1:01:38there of of his disciples, these aren't1:01:40random people. His own disciples got it.1:01:44Listen. When they had heard this, said,1:01:47"This is a hard saying. Who can hear1:01:49it?" Even with Jesus, they're like,1:01:51"Bro, you're too harsh, bro." Right now,1:01:54shouldn't Jesus, who is a God of love,1:01:57shouldn't he say, "Okay, guys, my1:01:59apologies. All right, I'm sorry. Let me1:02:01do this out of love." Okay, I'm just1:02:03saying this out of love. But look at1:02:05what he says in verse 61, the next very1:02:07next verse. When they said, "Who can1:02:09hear this? This is way too hard." When1:02:11Jesus knew in himself that his disciples1:02:13murmured at him, he said unto them,1:02:15"Does this offend you?"1:02:18Bro, double down. Do you guys understand1:02:21what I'm saying? Does this offend you?1:02:24Right. Right. Amen. Right. Verse 66.1:02:29John 666. Watch. Look at what he says.1:02:32Look at what happens after he exposes1:02:34them and goes, "I'm sorry. Does this1:02:35offend you?" What do they say? From that1:02:37time, many of his disciples went back1:02:39and walked no more with him. You know,1:02:41Jesus had 70 plus disciples, just so you1:02:44know, right? All he did was he performed1:02:47miracles. He did everything they wanted1:02:49to do, brothers and sisters. But the1:02:51time he said, "You know what? I'm going1:02:53to offend you a little bit. I'm going to1:02:54really see who's really here for the1:02:56word or who's really here for their1:02:58dopamine. who's here for just my1:03:00miracles, signs, and wonders. Do you1:03:03really love me? Do you really want to1:03:04hear what I have to say about you? And1:03:07when he did, they were like, "Peace. Not1:03:10the right congregation. See you later.1:03:12Bye." Way too harsh. Nah, I'm good.1:03:14What's the point of you even saying1:03:16that, bro? Respectfully, that's way too1:03:18offensive. Right? Just so you know. And1:03:21then right here, notice how they walked1:03:23away. Now, Jesus says, "No, I I I love1:03:26people. I can't let them walk away."1:03:28Okay, so he'll chase after us, right?1:03:30Shouldn't he be like, "Okay, guys. Guys,1:03:31okay, I'm sorry. My bad. You're right.1:03:33You know what? It was a little bit1:03:34harsh. I apologize. I'm a god of love1:03:36and a god of peace. I don't want you1:03:38guys to leave. I'm sorry. Come here.1:03:40I'll give you guys a hug. You guys want1:03:41me to make some food for you? Here, let1:03:43me just snap my You want some water?1:03:45Let's drink. Let's turn up. I'm going to1:03:46snap my fingers. Turn water into my1:03:47Somebody fill six water bottles. Come1:03:49on. I'll make it. Come on. Come on. Come1:03:50on. Let me just make it up for you.1:03:51Okay. I'm sorry. Let's have a nice1:03:53carnasada. Okay. All right. Anybody's1:03:57kid turning 15? Okay. Hey, let's get a1:03:58kins. Let's go. Let's get a kins, you1:04:00know, kinsera, right? He didn't do that.1:04:03Instead, look at it. Look at it. Look at1:04:06verse 67. Read it carefully. Then said1:04:10Jesus unto the 12, "Will you also go1:04:12away?" What the faith? Wait, wait, wait,1:04:16wait, wait. So, you didn't even chase1:04:18after them and you're telling them, "You1:04:20guys going to dip, too? You're going to1:04:21bounce too or what? What are we So, what1:04:24are we doing? Do you understand, guys? I1:04:27don't know who painted this soft Jesus1:04:29for you guys, but when you read1:04:31scripture and you actually know1:04:33scripture, you realize one thing cuz1:04:36you're only going to listen, right? Up1:04:39until you don't want to listen anymore.1:04:41You know what's beautiful about tonality1:04:42of Jesus and how he speaks is that it1:04:45starts to separate and it starts to make1:04:48people truly sit there and go, "Do I1:04:50care about tonality or do I care about1:04:52obedience and transformation?"1:04:55Amen. Right. Bro was very very abrasive1:04:58at times and very direct and very1:05:00assertive. Amen. Now in the same way I1:05:04can sit there and tweak my tonality. I1:05:07can throw in a m1:05:10every now and then so good. Brothers and1:05:13sisters, can we please give holy God the1:05:17king of kings, lord of lords.1:05:21So good. Can we do that brothers? Can we1:05:24clap for him? God is good and the church1:05:26says all the time. Can we do that1:05:29brothers and sisters please? Amen1:05:32sister. That's a beautiful question1:05:33brother. Although that's hard-hearted.1:05:35It's a beautiful question. Your heart is1:05:37so precious. Like I could do that too.1:05:39Right. Watch how tonality is really bad.1:05:42I'll show you. Okay. You know guys, you1:05:45guys are just you guys touch my heart so1:05:47much. You affect me so deeply guys. You1:05:50guys are just the most precious stupid1:05:54individuals in the world. Genuinely the1:05:56most I'm I'm ser the most precious most1:06:00dumbest individuals in the world.1:06:02Genuinely the best dumbest people I1:06:05know. So amazing. Haven't even read the1:06:07Bible. Just amazing. God has saved you1:06:10and your in your stupidity. It's so1:06:13great. Understand? Understand? Right.1:06:16Worse is I could be like you guys are1:06:18stupid and dumb. It's still the same1:06:20thing. Just because I'm saying it in1:06:21that tonality doesn't mean anything.1:06:23Tonality is not truth. Make sense? You1:06:26guys got that right? That's how people1:06:30start to get sensitive about these1:06:32things. Jesus only spoke truth.1:06:34Understand what I'm saying, brothers and1:06:36sisters? Right, guys? Right? Amen. He1:06:39only spoke truth. Amen. But what is the1:06:41truth? Scripture.1:06:43Amen. Why am I harping on this, guys? at1:06:4710:00 p.m. here. Some of you guys in the1:06:49East Coast, it's already way past your1:06:50bedtime. Because I want you guys to1:06:53genuinely understand one thing. If I am1:06:56to follow God, I'm not going to sit1:06:58there and allow him like me to dictate1:07:02his feelings. What? I'm not going to sit1:07:05there and dictate how he preaches to me,1:07:08how he speaks to me. You know why? It's1:07:10already been like that. Amen, guys. It's1:07:13already like that. He doesn't need your1:07:15permission. He lets you go through1:07:16trials and tribulations and guess what?1:07:18You just accept it. Isn't that true?1:07:21Amen. Literally, if he's like, "Today1:07:24you're going to lose your job." You're1:07:26not going to sit there and go, "Well, I1:07:28don't agree with that. You're a God of1:07:29love." You're not going to do that. You1:07:31could try, but that's like a dog howling1:07:33at the moon. Respectfully, it's not1:07:35going to affect it. It's barking at the1:07:38moon. You think it barks and the lights1:07:40turn off? No way. Amen, brothers and1:07:42sisters. So what I'm trying to show you1:07:45guys is when you really are able to1:07:47accept and acknowledge the word of God,1:07:49it really does transform you. But I see1:07:52many people here. I must say and I just1:07:55got to set the tone here. You guys are1:07:57so used to being ju to people just being1:08:01so respectful, right? Oh, okay brother.1:08:04Well, actually I feel like you know and1:08:07this is just my opinion. You've you've1:08:09you've it can help your challenges like1:08:11we start doing this, right? Amen. And we1:08:14find ways to kind of beat around the1:08:15bush. But respectfully, guys, I mean, if1:08:19you live in front of man, you'll do1:08:21that. But if you live in front of God,1:08:23you'll just be straight, right? All1:08:25right. That's what it is. I struggle1:08:27with this. I was that. I was this. I was1:08:29that. Right? And so, it's very1:08:31beautiful, right? I want you guys to1:08:34just learn what it truly means to be1:08:36discipled. Not just what you think and1:08:39feel. Not just, hey, I want this. I want1:08:41that. I want to learn this way. I want1:08:43to learn that way. I just I want I want1:08:45I want like I mean if you want it, you1:08:48can make your requests known to God. But1:08:50he does he's not he's also not even in1:08:52his in our lives. He's not going to1:08:54answer everything you want. It's just1:08:56not what happens, guys. He just doesn't1:09:00answer everything the way you want.1:09:01Amen. And the quicker you realize that,1:09:04the quicker you level up, right? You1:09:06guys You guys aren't tired of spiraling.1:09:08You guys aren't tired of just having1:09:09that depression and loneliness. I'm1:09:11pretty I'm pretty sure you are. But do1:09:13you know what? What fuels the spiraling1:09:15and and all of that? You trusting in1:09:18yourself? You thinking you got it like1:09:20that? The one thing we have to humble1:09:22ourselves in is if I had it like that,1:09:25why am I still struggling with1:09:26self-righteousness? Why am I struggling1:09:28with lust and addiction and gossiping1:09:31and envy and hate and jealousy? And why1:09:34do I do the things I know I shouldn't1:09:36do? Right? because maybe you don't got1:09:39it like that. Understand what I'm1:09:41saying? You don't got it like that. And1:09:43there's a beauty in recognizing that to1:09:46be hum like to have humility. Understand1:09:49what I'm saying? Right? A lot of us1:09:50don't know the word. That's the issue.1:09:53We want exaltation. We don't want to1:09:54exalt the word. Meaning, we like to feel1:09:57like a pat on our back. the the I think1:10:00one of the the the hidden idols that1:10:02most people are not even realizing that1:10:04they're worshiping as an idol is1:10:06acknowledgement. We love being1:10:09acknowledged. We love it, right? We love1:10:12when a prayer is answered cuz we got1:10:13acknowledged by God. We love when1:10:15someone's like, "Hey, you're doing1:10:16really good in ministry or you're doing1:10:18this." We love that because it's1:10:19acknowledgement. But what y'all don't1:10:21realize is that is seriously an idol.1:10:24People I I meet with pastors all the1:10:26time. They are preaching from pulpits1:10:28just to be acknowledged. Understand1:10:30brothers and sisters. Like that's what1:10:33it is at the end of let me see if I can1:10:35preach the sermons and how many claps I1:10:36can get and how many people are wowed1:10:38and how many people are going wow amen.1:10:40They're no longer really preaching about1:10:42the gospel. It's more about what can I1:10:44do to get people to like me more and to1:10:47show that I'm and and acknowledge that1:10:49I'm a good pastor. Right. And what I1:10:52love about you guys is that you're crazy1:10:54enough to sit there and just as crazy as1:10:55I am to go, "Okay, I need to hear the1:10:57truth because I'm sick and tired of1:10:59hearing the fake." But some of you guys1:11:01are still in here for what? Community.1:11:03And again, community is not bad,1:11:05brothers and sisters, right? God tells1:11:07us to to congregate hund. But the issue1:11:10is, if you're only here for community1:11:13and not the one who built the community,1:11:14that's a problem. That's a problem.1:11:17Understand what I'm saying? So many1:11:19people have came in here. I' I've seen1:11:21people come in here just to make friends1:11:23and then leave with those people. Amen.1:11:26Right. It's like some people come in1:11:28here, treat this like Christian mingle,1:11:31slide in another DM, sisters, then send1:11:33screenshots of your stupid little, you1:11:36know, foolish little punchlines. I'm1:11:40sorry. I didn't uh I was looking through1:11:41numbers, but I didn't find yours. It's1:11:43like, what in the Bible RZ is going on1:11:46right now? Wh what? What? Biblical RZ is1:11:50crazy. You know why King Solomon had 7001:11:53wives and 300 concubine? Cuz he didn't1:11:56meet you. It's like what? For real? Oh,1:12:00bloodies. For real? What are you talking1:12:03about right now? You understand? Right,1:12:05guys? It happens. I'm I'm I'm joking,1:12:07guys. No one says that. I'm just1:12:09kidding. Right. But there are people who1:12:11are in here for I'm The point here is1:12:13they're in here for ulterior motives.1:12:15Make sense? for everything except for1:12:17Jesus Christ. Make sense, guys? Right?1:12:20So, it's not this this heart posture of,1:12:24you know, they don't care about Jesus1:12:26cuz you can care about Jesus, but you1:12:29have to care about him the most.1:12:30Meaning, he's got to be the thing that1:12:32takes precedence over everything. To1:12:33want to have community is amazing,1:12:35right? God built community, right? He1:12:37talks about it in Hebrews. I know. But1:12:39again, if you're only here for that,1:12:42that's what it is, right? If you're only1:12:44here for even dopamine and knowledge,1:12:46you guys do know that's another silent1:12:48idol. Just I'm going to keep it real1:12:49with y'all. Is knowledge? What? Wait, so1:12:53I can idolize knowledge? Yeah, how I1:12:57know all these unlocks about Jesus, but1:13:00my life and my fruits don't depict it.1:13:02There's a lot of people like that, too.1:13:03I can quote hella scripture and yet I1:13:06don't have any fruits. I don't have any1:13:08disciples. I just know how to debate1:13:10people and beat them and execute1:13:12scripture. Sure. But I don't have1:13:14anything. Right, guys? Isn't that true?1:13:17No fruits. How come ain't nobody1:13:19listening to y'all? You can't even get1:13:21your mom to listen to you. You can't1:13:22even get your kids to listen to you. Why1:13:25is that? If you're all about Jesus and1:13:27God, because you're not. That's the1:13:29problem. I'm sorry to say, but that's1:13:31humbling, isn't it? And when you humble,1:13:33then you can get poured into. Amen. Make1:13:36sense, guys? Right. It's a copout1:13:38excuse, though. Respectfully, how come1:13:40you guys are listening to me? I don't1:13:41know you guys. Right? Some of you guys1:13:43have ulterior motives. Maybe I want to1:13:45learn as much as him and this and that.1:13:46But other people are genuinely like,1:13:47"No, I see Jesus in Johnny." Tonality1:13:50aside, roughness aside, tattoos aside, I1:13:54can only see it can't be this dude. I've1:13:56heard his crazy stories. It's got to be1:13:58Jesus. Understand? Right? Maybe it's cuz1:14:00they don't see the Jesus in you.1:14:02respectfully. Remember guys, remember1:14:04remember your walk is going to be a1:14:08sermon and it's going to preach louder1:14:10than your mouth ever will. Just so you1:14:13know. Just so you know, truthfully,1:14:16genuinely, you can talk all about Jesus1:14:19and God, but if they see you commenting1:14:21and being bashful and hateful, they're1:14:23going to be like, "Uh, yeah, one of1:14:25those quote unquote Christians, holier1:14:28than thou. Got it." Uh-huh. The thing1:14:31that gave me church trauma ever since I1:14:33was a kid. Yeah, those. Oh, one of the1:14:36I'm I'm so good. Look at me. Like those.1:14:38Oh, yeah. No, I'm good. That's why when1:14:41I hop on a stage, they're just like,1:14:42"Dang, bro. You super raw." Like, you1:14:44don't even You sitting there making1:14:45Chinese people jokes. You say your eyes1:14:48are little, but you can see really well,1:14:50so don't be sleeping on me. And then,1:14:51what the hell, bro? You borderline1:14:53racist. But I like that. Why? Because1:14:57you keep it real, right? At the end of1:14:59the day, guys, people are so caught up1:15:02with being performative. That's the1:15:04issue. Understand, right? They they they1:15:06they it's too performative even in here,1:15:09right? You guys ever you guys ever been1:15:10disrespected by a Christian and then1:15:13they go like this? But sister, I'm1:15:15saying that out of love. Okay, I'll pray1:15:17for you. But inside you're like, "Shut1:15:19the faith up." You ever had that1:15:21feeling? Keep it real, y'all. It's, you1:15:24know, okay, we'll agree to disagree.1:15:26Okay? like, "But sister, I'm praying for1:15:28you that you close your legs. Don't just1:15:30go out and give. You are the daughter of1:15:33God and the precious daughter of God.1:15:35You don't just go out there and just1:15:37give your your your goods to this person1:15:39and this man and that just I'm just1:15:41praying for you, sister. Why are you I'm1:15:42not judging you. I'm just I'm just1:15:43praying for you. I I've never done that.1:15:45But I've never I'm just praying for1:15:47you." That's disgusting. But but it's1:15:48only disgusting because it's sin, right?1:15:50It's not It's not They start doing this1:15:51and you're like, "Bro, what's what in1:15:52the passive aggressive is going on right1:15:54now?" Right. Right? That's how it is1:15:57though, right? And then they gossip1:15:58about you and they're like, "No, it1:16:00wasn't that I was gossiping. It was1:16:01that, you know, I was just letting1:16:03another sister in Christ, we were1:16:05talking about it because she has to pray1:16:06for you and like I had to give the1:16:08details on what to pray for." It's like,1:16:11um, no, you could literally have said,1:16:12"Hey, she's going through something1:16:13really tough right now. Please pray for1:16:15her." But no, you wanted to gossip and1:16:17then sit there and go, "But the truth1:16:19is, you know, it was because I was1:16:20bringing provision and I was stepping1:16:22into salvation." Every Christian1:16:23keyword. I was stepping into the1:16:25salvation and the provision of his1:16:27promise and his peace. It's like dang,1:16:29bro. You just PPP. Step into your1:16:32salvation. You know, it's like what?1:16:36Step into your salv how do you do that?1:16:38You know, all you have to do is just1:16:39walk in yourself, right? But how you do1:16:42that?

Okay, how do I pray in1:16:52his provision? Just talk to God. It's1:16:54like what? You're not even telling me1:16:55what to do. You're just using hella1:16:57buzzwords, bro. Do you understand? Make1:17:00sense? Yo, am I lying or am I tripping?1:17:02Cuz again, I can be I can be taught. Am1:17:05I lying? Like, have you guys ever ever1:17:08done that? Has anyone ever done that to1:17:10you before? So many people do that, bro.1:17:13So many people, right? Even in your in1:17:16the sermons when you go to churches,1:17:17aren't they like that? Right.

Now,1:19:58struggling with sin is different than1:20:00indulging in it, right? But there are1:20:02people who don't care about Jesus, who1:20:04will straight up just keep not talking1:20:06about him and talking about themselves.1:20:09That's not what we do here. We only1:20:11point to Jesus Christ. Make sense? So1:20:14guys, you're in the right place. Amen.1:20:16You're in the right place, right? I hope1:20:19you guys can understand something. Yes.1:20:21We call our our podcast unlearned1:20:24wisdom. Do you know why? Because you1:20:25have to unlearn a lot of stuff that's1:20:27been ingrained in your brain. Straight1:20:29up though. Straight up. You're sick and1:20:32tired of people just spoonfeeding you BS1:20:36for what? It does nothing but fill their1:20:39churches. Literally, guys, literally.1:20:43Understand, right? Make sense? That's1:20:46all they care about. It's so sad. Do you1:20:49guys know that core of the heart doesn't1:20:50belong to Johnny Chang? My life doesn't1:20:53belong to me either. You know who it1:20:55belongs to? Yeshua. It belongs to Jesus.1:20:58If I move with that heart, you think I'm1:21:00going to treat my congregation however I1:21:02want? Are you kidding me? Think about1:21:04it, guys. How much easier would it be to1:21:07just edify everybody? Wouldn't it be1:21:09easier if I just sat here and I1:21:11understand why churches do this to go,1:21:13"Amen, brother. Amen." Wow, that's a1:21:15great question. Amen.1:21:18Or just skipping it so that I don't have1:21:20to go off these tangents. Why do I1:21:22address it? Why do I address it? Because1:21:24I know God is like, "Hey, Johnny, this1:21:27is my congregation. You cannot just let1:21:29things slide. Do you care about the1:21:32word?" Amen. 10:13 in the morning,1:21:35fighting for you guys. 10:30 to 10:13 at1:21:38night, I'm sorry. Fighting for you guys.1:21:39Why? Why? You You guys don't think I1:21:43like sleep. I told you guys, right? My1:21:45sleep number so nice to me. It's so1:21:48nice. I lay in it. It It has this little1:21:51compression. It's like And it literally1:21:54what it's doing, you know what it's1:21:55doing? It's hugging me. It's hugging me.1:21:58It's literally contouring to my body.1:22:00I'm like, "Thank you, sleep number."1:22:03Right. Right.1:22:05I'm over here sitting here going1:22:07fighting for y'all, telling you guys no1:22:09you don't know the word. How crazy am I?1:22:13You know how many people trauma dump on1:22:14me every single day? H shouldn't I quit,1:22:18right? Why don't I Can I tell you guys1:22:20why? Because Jesus didn't quit on me and1:22:23I don't believe he'll quit on you.1:22:24Straight up. I don't believe it. I don't1:22:27believe it. That's the thing about God.1:22:30Does Johnny want to quit? Many, many1:22:32times. But when Johnny thinks only about1:22:34Johnny, then Johnny will quit 100%. Be1:22:36right up in the streets sleeping with1:22:38everybody doing every kind of line of1:22:40coke and Hennessy and all that. That's1:22:42the real be with the homies, you know,1:22:45live off of, you know, live somewhere in1:22:48a third world country and just be1:22:49balling on a budget type stuff, right?1:22:52That's Johnny. But when I think about1:22:54Jesus who crucified and was crucified1:22:58for Johnny, how could I do that? I1:23:01can't. I genuinely can't. Right? Because1:23:04people didn't give up on me. And I'm not1:23:06going to give up on you guys, too,1:23:07because I know Jesus is going to work.1:23:09That's why I tell you like it is. You1:23:10guys do understand that I have to have1:23:12faith to tell you this, too. Right? Just1:23:14so you know. I know that some of this1:23:16stuff will make you go, "Well, I don't1:23:17like that, though." Of course, I know.1:23:19I'm not stupid. I have some kind of1:23:21situational awareness. I'm not that1:23:22dumb. I'm dumb. But I ain't that dumb,1:23:26right? I'm dumb. Okay, pretty pretty1:23:28stupid. But I ain't that dumb. I know1:23:30what it feels like to be told the truth1:23:32and I don't like it and I ain't ready1:23:34for it. But I have to tell you guys, do1:23:35you know why? Because that's what's1:23:37going to grow you. Let it sting a little1:23:40bit. But think about it like this, okay?1:23:42The word of God is a knife, right? He1:23:44said it's a sword. Is it going to cut?1:23:47Absolutely, brothers and sisters. It's1:23:49going to cut. It will cut. But here's1:23:51the thing. It's not going to cut you and1:23:53just wound you. Just like a surgeon who1:23:56cuts you open and yes, he creates pain.1:23:58He's literally removing and doing1:24:00surgery and performing surgery to remove1:24:02cancer out of you. In the same way, we1:24:04have to do the same. We also have to1:24:06cut. Why? Because you guys have things1:24:09in you that you don't know you have. For1:24:11example, pride, good hearts, quote1:24:15unquote good hearts. Do you guys know1:24:17why I don't want you guys to be good?1:24:19What is the benefit of this Chinese guy1:24:22tatted up Chinese Asian gang member1:24:24telling other people that they're not1:24:26good? Is it just I misery loves loves1:24:28company? I just want everyone to be bad1:24:30cuz I'm so bad. Is that what it is?1:24:33Right? Do you know what it is? Why I1:24:36tell you guys that we're bad? Why we cut1:24:39people? Why? Because in the Bible, when1:24:43you looked at anyone who was quote1:24:44unquote good, for example, did the woman1:24:47caught in the act of adultery, who1:24:48everybody deemed evil and wicked and a1:24:51home wrecker and a and a1:24:52basically, did she crucify Jesus? No.1:24:56The woman with five husbands who she1:24:58acknowledged. The sixth one, she did1:24:59have the husband. She didn't even1:25:00acknowledge him, right? Did she crucify1:25:03Jesus? I mean, dang. What What was there1:25:05back then? Like Christian Mingle back1:25:07then? Did she swipe right on all five1:25:09guys? And like that's crazy, right? You1:25:12know how many people are in a town and1:25:14you got to marry five of them? Bro, you1:25:15are crazy. Yo, respectfully, like it1:25:18ain't like Instagram where they slide in1:25:20your DM, but it's like, no, think about1:25:21the context here. Smaller, you know,1:25:23dating pool and just literally just1:25:26hopping everywhere like what's wrong1:25:28with with with sis, you know? Right? And1:25:31she went at the hottest day to get1:25:33water. Why? Cuz she didn't want anyone1:25:34to see her, right? You only go out when1:25:37it's super hot because you don't want1:25:38anybody to see her, right? That was1:25:40that's symbolic of that. Make sense? And1:25:43why specifically five and the sixth one1:25:45she didn't acknowledge. Well, because1:25:47six represents man and flesh. She said1:25:50she was five cuz she wanted grace.1:25:52Represents grace. On the sixth day, man1:25:54was created. She didn't want to1:25:56acknowledge that she was that. But when1:25:57she met seven, Jesus, he became her1:26:00seventh husband and completed her. Six1:26:02was incomplete. She didn't want to1:26:03acknowledge that. That's why she hid and1:26:06then Jesus became her seventh.1:26:08Understand? There's always this type of1:26:09unlocks here, right? So little things1:26:12like that, right? God is like1:26:15explaining. So then who getting back on1:26:17track, who crucified Jesus? I just want1:26:19to know. The people who said God of1:26:21Isaac, Abraham, and Jacob is my God. Oh,1:26:24you mean people who sat there and1:26:26claimed they love God? Interesting. They1:26:29read the scriptures. But in John 5:39,1:26:31he says, "Search ye the scriptures. In1:26:33them you think you have eternal life,1:26:34but they are they which testify of me.1:26:36So you read all the scriptures. You're1:26:37the Sody, scribes, and Pharisees. You've1:26:39read it all. You've recorded parts of1:26:40the Bible. And yet you miss the person1:26:42who the Bible was speaking about the1:26:43most. Interesting. This is why I don't1:26:47want you guys to be good. Because when1:26:49you're good, you literally crucify1:26:51Jesus. Because you can't see his good.1:26:54You can only see yours. You can only see1:26:57yours. Understand? That's the truth.1:27:00When a person thinks they're right, aka1:27:02good. You guys ever met that person?1:27:04That person might be you, but honestly,1:27:06you met that person that no matter who,1:27:08you could show them video evidence,1:27:10proof, and they were like, "No, I'm1:27:12right." A million people can tell them,1:27:15"Hey, you're wrong." But in their head,1:27:17for some reason, they are stubborn as a1:27:19mule. They're just right. It doesn't1:27:21matter what you show them. Doesn't1:27:23matter. You can be nice to them. You can1:27:25be mean to them. You can fight them. You1:27:27can hug them. You can love on them.1:27:29They're still going to say, "I'm right,1:27:30though." Think about it, guys. Think1:27:32about it. Think about it. Jesus can1:27:34preach the gospel so well. Right? So,1:27:36well, amen. Right? Can he not save1:27:40anybody? He could save whoever he wants.1:27:42But why is it that when he went to the1:27:44scribes and Pharisees, he wasn't able to1:27:47save them? It's not that he wasn't able1:27:49to. They couldn't even hear his message.1:27:52They were too good. You call yourself1:27:55the son of God. Do you know who we are?1:27:57We are Abraham's descendants.1:28:01Tell me if that's not pride without, you1:28:04know. And he sat there and he said, "You1:28:05guys are whitewashed tombs. God can1:28:08literally use these stones and raise1:28:09them up as descendants. He don't need1:28:11you. What? You think your lineage is1:28:13what saves you?" He straight up checked1:28:14them. "Whoa, you hypocrites," he says.1:28:18Notice how he doesn't sit there and say1:28:19that to the woman. "You hypocrite. You1:28:21 He doesn't say that to her. You1:28:24ruining another man's household. You You1:28:26whoremonger. No. But to them, he's hella1:28:30rough. Why? Because God knows. The only1:28:34thing that stops people from getting1:28:35saved is their own self-righteousness.1:28:38Because they don't seek his1:28:39righteousness. So, brothers and sisters,1:28:42do you understand now why I have to1:28:44till? Cuz I care. I don't want y'all to1:28:47sit there and be like, "I'm so right. I1:28:48know about that. Only a few people1:28:50crucified him. It wasn't really, right?1:28:52And yet you over here spiraling in your1:28:54self-righteousness still. I don't know1:28:56what we stand on, but it's definitely1:28:59not faith.1:29:01Amen. I don't know who told us we were1:29:04all that. Stroking your head and going,1:29:06"Good job." But I'm going to be real.1:29:08We're nothing. We're garbage. That's1:29:11just the real. Amen. Can't even save one1:29:14soul. Can't even open the heart posture1:29:16of somebody. Can't even sit there and1:29:17listen to Can't even take constructive1:29:19criticism. We're so sensitive.1:29:21Understand what I'm saying, right guys?1:29:24Right? Still arguing that that's only1:29:26true. Only a few and others like you1:29:28know like you know how many people1:29:30brothers and sisters all the people that1:29:32were screaming hosana hosana were the1:29:35same people that were saying crucify1:29:36crucify him. That's a lot of people.1:29:39Understand what I'm saying? So like just1:29:42cuz they didn't physically crucify in1:29:44their hearts they were agreeing with it.1:29:46That's physically crucifying him too.1:29:48Understand? So, what are you talking1:29:50about? Don't switch up and say crowd1:29:52mentality. Make sense? Just acknowledge1:29:54that you're literally interjecting in1:29:56places that you don't need to because1:29:58you're still good. If y'all still want1:30:00to struggle with your sadness and grief1:30:02and misery, be my guest. I'm just trying1:30:05to let you guys know why it's probably1:30:07bad not to be good, right? It's probably1:30:09bad um, you know, to to to be good. I'm1:30:12sorry. Amen. I'm not arguing with you1:30:14either, right?1:30:16Like I'm trying to just tell you that1:30:18you think you're all that, but you're1:30:19not. So you either accept it or you1:30:21don't. That's all I'm saying. I'm I'm Am1:30:23I not clear? Right, guys? Don't be good.1:30:27You're not. That's all I'm saying.1:30:30Understand? Make sense? Always trying to1:30:33live in front of people. How1:30:35embarrassing. You guys don't get1:30:36secondhand embarrassment when people can1:30:38see your heart posture. Sheesh. I'm I'm1:30:40so If you're If you're saying you're1:30:41bad, then be quiet. Why are you still1:30:43talking about all this other stuff?1:30:44Ain't nobody here to listen to you.1:30:46Respectfully, stop talking. Right. I1:30:49love that. I I've been saying I'm evil.1:30:50I'm wicked. I I'm a good person though.1:30:53I don't argue with people, but I'm evil1:30:54and I'm wicked and I'm bad. Like, what1:30:56are you talking about? Stop talking.1:30:57Amen, guys. I'm sorry. But it's just1:30:59real, right? Like, we're just not We1:31:01can't sit here and do that, right? If1:31:03you're really bad, guys, you would1:31:04listen. You know why? Because the only1:31:06good is the word of God. Amen. That's1:31:09just what it is. So, that's what's1:31:11really beautiful, right, about God. God1:31:13is so clear in what he says and1:31:16intentional when he says all we like1:31:19sheep have gone astray. Let's read this.1:31:21This is a fi final unlock and then I'll1:31:22I'll head out. Okay. So you guys can see1:31:24Isaiah 53:6.1:31:27Okay. All right. Let's read it carefully1:31:29here. Ain't it Isn't it funny, guys?1:31:32Isn't it funny that we just got done1:31:34talking about like, "No, I'm praying for1:31:36you guys and blah blah blah blah blah."1:31:38Right? And then it's like peace. Like I1:31:41love you. I respect you. It's like, "Oh1:31:43my gosh, dude." They going They going to1:31:44go home and spiral. He talked about me.1:31:47I wasn't even trying. What is he? And1:31:49it's like, "Oh my gosh, dude. Come on.1:31:52Just be real in front of God." All1:31:54right. Okay. U Ella, can you Thank you1:31:56so much. Thank you so much. Right, Pine1:31:59Cone. It's real though, right? We're1:32:00just being real, you know? Just say it1:32:03with your chest. I don't like you. I1:32:05don't care. Yeah, I am a good person. I1:32:07am. You don't talk to me like that. Now1:32:09we can get somewhere cuz at least you1:32:11kept it real. And it's like, "Are you a1:32:12good person? Let's test that. Are you1:32:14good according to the commandments? Are1:32:15you?" Then they're like, they know that1:32:17we're going to do that. So they're like,1:32:18"Oh, peace and love. I promise." Like,1:32:20"No, I was just I was just talking. I1:32:23No, I like they do this." And it's like,1:32:24"Bro, you're It's like this false1:32:27humility, right?" Okay. Uh, one more1:32:30time. Yellow. I'm so sorry. Okay. Let's1:32:32read it, guys. Watch this. Okay. Watch1:32:34this. All we like sheep have gone1:32:36astray. All of us like what? Sheep,1:32:39right? Gone astray.1:32:41Everybody has went their own way, right?1:32:43We have turned everyone everyone to his1:32:46own way. Amen. All of us have. Have we1:32:49have Has has anyone in here never1:32:50sinned? No. We've sinned against God. We1:32:52continue to sin against God. Amen.1:32:54Right. But watch this part right here.1:32:56And the Lord hath laid on him the1:32:58iniquity of us all. Let me explain1:33:00something to you guys. What you miss in1:33:01this verse that's really different than1:33:04a lot of people teach. So, did you all1:33:06sin against God? Absolutely. Did you1:33:09guys turn away from God? and probably1:33:10continue to still turn away from God1:33:12from time to time. Absolutely not a1:33:14problem. The one thing that he's doing1:33:16here is so beautiful. It's prophesying1:33:18Jesus, of course, right? That's the easy1:33:20unlock here. That's in Isaiah. What you1:33:23miss and you fail to realize is one1:33:25thing, and I'll show you why this is1:33:26really cool and why God is amazing. Why1:33:30that only God can write something like1:33:32this. Let me tell you guys why the Bible1:33:35is not written by man. It's by this1:33:37verse alone. And also Genesis 6:5 is1:33:39another good verse. But this verse1:33:41alone, put it up again, Ella. And guys,1:33:43don't type. Okay, I'll explain. All we1:33:46like sheep have gone astray. So everyone1:33:48has gone astray. We get that part. We1:33:49have turned everyone to his own way. We1:33:51get that part. Everyone has turned away.1:33:53But this part, we miss it. And the Lord1:33:55has laid on him the iniquity of us all.1:33:57Interesting. Very interesting. Isaiah is1:34:00about 800 years, 750 to 800 years before1:34:04Jesus. Why am I saying this? He's 750 to1:34:09800 years before Jesus. But look at the1:34:12verbiage he uses, the tenses he uses.1:34:14Watch. Shouldn't he say, "If I'm 7501:34:18years and or 800 years before Jesus,1:34:21shouldn't I write like this? All we like1:34:23sheep have gone astray. We have each1:34:25turned to our own way and the Lord is1:34:27going to lay on him the iniquity of us1:34:29all cuz it hasn't happened yet. It's1:34:31still 750 years, 800 years prophesying."1:34:34Why does he say has laid? Because that's1:34:38how God works. Understand? Right now,1:34:42you're perfected. No, no, no. We're1:34:43going to be perfected. No, no, no, no,1:34:45no. You're perfect now. Hebrews 10:14.1:34:49No, no. Isaiah was saved. When people1:34:52ask me, "How do the old people before1:34:55Jesus came, because they're big brain,1:34:57so big brain that they're little brain,1:34:59respectfully, how did before Jesus came,1:35:01if we're supposed to believe in Jesus,1:35:03he's the only way. How the hell did all1:35:05these other people freaking go to heaven1:35:06then? Do you know how they went to1:35:07heaven? Just like we believe backwards,1:35:10they believe forward. What does that1:35:11mean?" Isaiah didn't see Jesus, but he1:35:14believed that Jesus would wash his sins1:35:17and lay all of his sins onto him. So1:35:20they believe forward on Jesus just like1:35:23we didn't see Jesus but 2,000 years ago1:35:25we believe backwards that he died didn't1:35:27he? It's still the same belief. The only1:35:29thing is direction. One in the Old1:35:31Testament believe forward. We believe1:35:33backwards. We look back they look to the1:35:36cross. We also look to the cross but we1:35:37look back at the cross. Understand?1:35:40Understand? Right. Pretty deep, right?1:35:43So when you again read the Bible in a1:35:45way that's like whoa what the fa like1:35:48how come he didn't just sit there and1:35:49say it's going to be sanctification is a1:35:52process. No it's not. Hebrews 10:10 Jude1:35:551:1 Corinthians 6:11 it's not. It's1:35:59done. Do you know why you say it's a1:36:00process? You were number one taught like1:36:02that. Number two you didn't read the1:36:05Bible enough. Number three you see with1:36:07your eyes that you're not sanctified1:36:09yet. So you mold it to your thoughts,1:36:11which again is not scripture. Ready?1:36:14Watch. By the which will we are1:36:15sanctified past tense through the1:36:18offering of the body of Jesus Christ1:36:19once for all. He died one time for1:36:21everyone and one time for all of our1:36:22sins. Jude a servant of God and the1:36:25brother of James to them that are1:36:28sanctified past tense by God the Father1:36:31and preserved in Jesus Christ. 11:36:33Corinthians 6:11. And such were some of1:36:34you but you are washed past tense. Wait,1:36:37I thought it was washed only when you1:36:39believed. You're not washed already, but1:36:40you are sanctified,1:36:43made holy already, and justified in the1:36:46name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit1:36:47over God. So twofold. In Jesus's name1:36:49and by the by the Holy Spirit, right?1:36:51The ra Elohim, right? So how do you1:36:56You're supposed to believe, but why1:36:58can't you believe? Why do your pastors1:37:00say you still have sin? Can I let you in1:37:02on a secret? Cuz they don't believe.1:37:05They just know. And they feed that into1:37:08you. Amen. I'm sorry to say. Can I keep1:37:11it real with y'all? How can you say1:37:13that? Amen. How can you say that? That1:37:16you're you're you're a sinner. That1:37:18means Jesus failed respectfully. Yes,1:37:20you were a sinner, but Jesus died for1:37:23your sins. When you start to read the1:37:25Bible, not as a sinner, but a saint. You1:37:27get unlocks like this. You grow like1:37:29this. Understand? You grow this way.1:37:33Amen. Should I do one more unlock or1:37:36should we go to sleep? Maybe one more.1:37:38Hm. Maybe one more. One more. Cuz this1:37:41all ties into it. You know how people1:37:42say? Don't take the Lord's name in vain.1:37:46You know how they say that blasphemy is1:37:47what? Saying, "Oh my God." Partially1:37:51true, but out of context. They use it1:37:53out of fear. Cuz when you hear it, you1:37:55get fear, right? But can I show you guys1:37:58what is the Lord Jesus Christ? What is1:38:00his name? Yeshua, right? Emmanuel,1:38:03right? Anointed one, right? But what1:38:06does the Bible say his name actually is?1:38:08It's all of that, but in this context,1:38:10go to Matthew 1:21.1:38:12Read it carefully. Okay, watch this. And1:38:15she shall bring forth a son, Mary. And1:38:18thou shalt call his name Jesus. Yeshua1:38:21colon brings two clauses together.1:38:23Meaning, it's going to explain deeper1:38:24what Yeshua means. For he shall save his1:38:28people from their sins. What is Jesus?1:38:31What is his name Jesus? What does it1:38:33actually mean? Savior of your sins.1:38:35Amen. From what? Some sins or all sins?1:38:39All of their sins. So, do you know what1:38:42taking the Lord's name in vain? What1:38:44does being in vain mean? Vanity. It1:38:45means it has no effect. Understand? I1:38:48can make millions of dollars, but it's1:38:49in vain. Meaning, it has no effect. Make1:38:52sense? So, when Jesus's name literally1:38:54means forgiven of your sins, and I1:38:56washed all of your sins, and you go, but1:38:58I'm a sinner. Does it click now why1:39:01that's taking his name in vain? That's1:39:04blasphemy. Amen. Because if you are1:39:08saying that you are, that means he's not1:39:09your savior and he failed. Understand?1:39:13Nobody's teaching this. They even teach1:39:16the sinner's prayer. Show me in the1:39:18Bible where there's a sinner's prayer,1:39:20right? Amen. That's the problem. And1:39:24remember guys, here's another unlock,1:39:27right? Here's another unlock. Matthew1:39:2912:37, Proverbs 18:21, right? And I'll1:39:33tie these in. Ella will post them and1:39:35we'll read it together and I'll tie it1:39:36in. For by thy words thou shalt be1:39:38justified. Your words and by thy words1:39:42thou shalt be condemned. Huh. Same1:39:44mouth, different words. One justifies,1:39:46one condemns. H interesting. Proverbs1:39:4918:21, "Death and life are in the power1:39:51of the tongue, and they that love it1:39:54shall eat the fruit of it." So what's1:39:57there's death, but also life in your1:39:58tongue. Amen. I'm a sinner. I'm a1:40:01sinner. I am a sinner. I'm a sinner.1:40:03Where do sinners go? I'm just curious.1:40:05I'm righteous and perfected through1:40:07Jesus Christ. Righteous and holy and1:40:09sanctified through Jesus Christ. Where1:40:11do they go?1:40:13And I'm going to show you in real time1:40:15how he does this. Another unlock, but1:40:17I'm going to finish here. And I'm really1:40:18going to finish here cuz we can go all1:40:20day. When Abraham, I'm sorry. When Adam,1:40:24what did God give him to do? Think about1:40:26this clearly. What did he do? He told1:40:30him to what? Name the animals.1:40:33Why? Right. Was God too tired? Was God1:40:38like Abraham? Uh I mean Adam. Oh, I'm so1:40:42tired, bro. You know how many days it1:40:44took me to make these things? Six days.1:40:48Six freaking days, bro. Overtime, bro.1:40:5140hour weeks. I'm tired, bro. Need me a1:40:54Miller's light, right? Need me a1:40:57freaking shock top, right?1:41:00need me some merllo red wine, right? You1:41:02think that's what it was? He sat there1:41:04and what he was teaching, he says,1:41:06"Whatever you say that in there was, aka1:41:10so shall it be." So whatever Adam said1:41:13to Adam, Adam was like, "Father God,1:41:16this is a rhino." He goes, "Really?1:41:19Rhino? What the hell is a rhino?" Ah,1:41:20okay. Rhino. Father God, this is an1:41:23eagle. No, too many vowels. Eagle. Okay,1:41:25fine. Fine, fine. E A L. Okay, okay, all1:41:27that. Okay. Fine, fine, fine. Right. No,1:41:30this is a salmon. Why the heck you sit1:41:33there and put a L? It's salmon. No, no,1:41:36no, no, Dad. It's just L is silent. What1:41:39the heck is that? Samson. No, no, no.1:41:41Salmon. Salmon. Okay, cool. Fine, fine.1:41:44Why? What? What the heck is a salmon? It1:41:46has a red and Yeah. Okay. It should just1:41:48be red fish. No, no, no, no, no. Cuz a1:41:50red fish isn't red in Florida. But1:41:51anyways, just All right, son. You You1:41:55name whatever you want. Okay. You just1:41:57do it. Okay. Why? Catfish. What the1:42:00heck? It doesn't meow. Okay, Dad. All1:42:02right. You said whatever I said, so1:42:04shall it be. Okay, you said it. I'm1:42:08going to name this dog. Why? It's your1:42:09name backwards. So, you think I look1:42:11like this? Woof. Woof. Man, I don't get1:42:15the chunka and knock you out right now.1:42:17Right? Understand? Right? No, no, no. He1:42:20was showing him whatever you say, that's1:42:23what it is. So again guys, let me tell1:42:25you, they stole manifestation from the1:42:27Bible. They just removed Jesus and God1:42:29out of it. It's positive thoughts. Put1:42:32positive things out there in the1:42:33universe. I know my like, nah, bro. You1:42:35jacked it from us. Number one,1:42:37everything is that. It's just a1:42:39counterfeit of God. That's it. Just like1:42:41love, just like lust is a counterfeit of1:42:44love. It feels like it. They both look1:42:46the same, but one leaves you empty and1:42:48the other one leaves you fulfilled.1:42:50Satan. Oh, bloody Satan. for real,1:42:53right? That's what he does. Counterfeits1:42:54everything. So, back to the point. Why1:42:57did he allow them to name the animals?1:42:59Because power of the tongue. So, what1:43:01you say with your lips, I'm a sinner.1:43:04I'm a sinner. I'm a sinner. Please1:43:06don't. Please don't. So many people are1:43:08going to hell thinking that that's false1:43:10humility when that's really pride.1:43:12You're saying Jesus failed. I'm sorry to1:43:14say, brothers and sisters, no matter1:43:15what, and no matter how much you feel1:43:17like he's failed, don't ever say he has1:43:19because he doesn't. God doesn't fail. He1:43:21prevails. That's the real and that's the1:43:24truth. Do you guys understand what I'm1:43:26saying? Amen. Pretty deep, right? Pretty1:43:29deep, right? Right. Why would you want1:43:31to sit there and only want community and1:43:33grow and idolize anything else over1:43:35Jesus Christ? These unlocks prove to us1:43:38about Jesus. What you say with your1:43:40lips, God wrote these things. And the1:43:42stars, he wrote them in the heavens for1:43:44us to see. Hey, there's a way. What you1:43:47what what does it say in the Bible? What1:43:49you bound on earth, you shall bound in1:43:51heaven. What you loose on earth, you1:43:53shall loose in heaven. How can you have1:43:56that much power? Amen. Because your1:43:58mouth, your mouth can either poison1:44:01people or it can heal people. Ain't that1:44:03true? Ain't that true? Right? In the1:44:06same way, your mouth, if you don't have1:44:08a mouth and you don't have language,1:44:11right, guys, you can't preach the1:44:13gospel. So don't think your mouth is not1:44:15power. It is extremely powerful.1:44:18Extremely. Right. Right. So, there's1:44:22power here. So, guys, can I tell you?1:44:24So, are you guys sinners? Don't just say1:44:26it. You better believe it, too. Are you1:44:27guys sinners or righteous? I'm just I'm1:44:30just curious. Did God not lay your sins1:44:32on him? The iniquity of us all. Did he1:44:35not? He did. Okay. Do you understand now1:44:38why Johnny Chang says we're righteous1:44:40and perfected? I will not allow you to1:44:42say that you're a sinner for your own1:44:43good. stand in front of God and say that1:44:45you're a sinner. Go ahead. You'll be1:44:46more gangster than I am. I'm just I'm1:44:49You're more gangster than me if that's1:44:50the case. Yeah, God. I'm a sinner. Okay.1:44:54Okay. You're going right there where1:44:56Nakashim Zarafim is, where Satan is.1:44:59Understand, right? Amen, guys?1:45:02Hallelujah. Huh? Beautiful, right? You1:45:04guys are perfected and righteous. And1:45:06trust me, you go out there and you tell1:45:08people what you learned here, they're1:45:10not going to be mind blown. They're1:45:11literally going to kill you.1:45:13Literally. Oh, you're perfect. You think1:45:16you're so perfect? Oh, so you you don't1:45:18keep the Wait, but didn't you do that?1:45:19But sis, didn't you do that like last1:45:21week where you slept with a guy? Like,1:45:23what the heck? Is that what is that what1:45:24righteous and perfect is? Who told you?1:45:26Who who who taught you this? And then1:45:28you show them a picture of me and1:45:29they're like, "This guy,1:45:32I'm so glad that you found God, but like1:45:35respectfully, um um yeah, that guy's1:45:39literally has t Okay. Okay. And then now1:45:42you're the you're literally the1:45:43laughingtock of your family. Oh my gosh.1:45:45You know, she's over here like telling1:45:47everyone they're righteous and perfect1:45:49and listening to this guy. You know what1:45:50it is? He's he's like, "What the hell?1:45:52This guy's horrible. He's literally a1:45:55cult leader. Oh my gosh." Like what is1:45:58this? This guy's literally a gang1:45:59member. He's killed.

Literally.1:46:14Right. So that's why God says, "What?1:46:16Narrow is the way." Jesus came and1:46:19said, "I forgive you." And they're like,1:46:20"You don't forgive sins. How can you say1:46:23someone's forgiven and perfect? How can1:46:25you say they're healed? Huh? Only God1:46:27heals. We're not healed, you idiot.1:46:29You're freaking disciples pluck corn on1:46:31the Sabbath day. God says to keep the1:46:33Sabbath holy, you dummy." He goes, "Uh,1:46:35bro, I am the Sabbath. Are you stupid?"1:46:38Right? Are you dumb? I am the Sabbath. I1:46:42literally said, "Those of you who are1:46:43heavy burdened and laid in Matthew1:46:4511:28, come unto me and I shall give you1:46:47rest." What do you do on the Sabbath1:46:48day? Oh, that's right. You rest. You, as1:46:51a sinner, go to God and Jesus and you1:46:54rest. No, Sabbath is a Saturday and1:46:55Sunday. No, it's not a Sunday. It's a1:46:58Saturday.

Who canonize the Bible?1:47:28Dummies. You guys don't even have the1:47:30papacy. You don't take1:47:32transubstantiation. You don't take the1:47:33Eucharist. You're an idiot. You can't1:47:36even do that. They start doing this and1:47:38Satan's like, "Yes, yes, yes. Fight,1:47:40please fight, fight, fight, cuz all of1:47:41y'all going to burn. Yes, please. Take1:47:44your eyes off of Jesus more. Please,1:47:46please, please." That's literally what1:47:47he does. Literally, we're over here1:47:50like, "We just know about Jesus. Just1:47:52talk about Jesus. Who cares, right?1:47:54Submit to Rome." No, submit to Jesus.1:47:56You know, Saturday is a Sabbath. No,1:47:58Jesus is a Sabbath day, right? If you1:48:01tie Jesus to everything, dreams and1:48:03visions are about Jesus Christ. What?1:48:05Yes. All dreams and visions. It1:48:06literally says in Revelation 19, the1:48:08testimony of Jesus is the spirit of1:48:10prophecy. It's his testimony. It's the1:48:12gospel, by the way. Oh, every dream and1:48:14vision pointed to Jesus Christ.1:48:16Understood? So, when you put Jesus at1:48:18the center of it all, guess what1:48:19happens, brothers and sisters? United.1:48:22When you remove Jesus, divided. And1:48:25that's how it's always been. So, do you1:48:27understand now why we're not a cult?1:48:29Because we only care about Jesus, y'all.1:48:32Amen.
