Unlearned Wisdom by Johnny Chang

0:00Welcome back to another Mainstage. This 0:02is where I talk directly with my 0:03community. I tell personal stories, deep 0:06biblical learnings, and I answer 0:07questions directly from the chat. These 0:09episodes are audio only. So, thank you 0:11guys for listening and tuning in. And 0:13you can join my Discord to catch the 0:15next mainstage live. Okay, let's get 0:18started. All righty. Good morning,0:20everybody. Well, actually, I woke up 0:22with kind of a sore throat yesterday and 0:24then today like just fully had a full-on 0:27sore throat. So, it's kind of been extra 0:31bad. But pastor said, "When you're sick,0:34preach the gospel, right?" So, you know,0:37it's it's different. Was it okay for 0:39David to trick uh Amik?0:43Yes, it was okay because it was all for 0:46the covenantal things, right? When you 0:49look at 2 Corinthians 6:8-10, we are 0:52deceivers yet true. So if you're asking 0:56this question, it's usually because 0:59um a lot of people they think that being 1:04truthful is is being honest and you know 1:08telling people everything that they need 1:10to hear at that time. But that's 1:12actually not biblical. Um it says a wise 1:16person holds his tongue, right? In the 1:18Bible in Proverbs it speaks about this.1:21Um, let's say for example, somebody is 1:26struggling and they're, you know, hating 1:29God. You know, you're trying to gain 1:31them. Obviously, the right thing would 1:33not be like, hey, if you keep hating 1:35God, just so you know, you're going to 1:38go to hell, right? Like, obviously 1:40that's the truth. But like, how does 1:43that help anybody? Does that make sense?1:46Like, how how how does that help this 1:49person turn to God? if anything that 1:50will harden their hearts away from God.1:52Amen. So, at the end of the day, uh when 1:56you're talking about, you know, 1st 1:58Samuel 21, King David, he lies to ach 2:04his lie is that he goes on this mission 2:08uh for for Saul, King Saul, which 2:12obviously is not true. Obviously, it's 2:16not true. Um but why does God allow him 2:19to lie though to prove that if you run 2:23for your life? If you protect yourself,2:26then what happens is you will be snared.2:28Right? When you look at Proverbs 29:2 2:31says, "The fear of man bringeth a 2:33snare." So fear brings this type of 2:38energy. Yare in Hebrew is fear. It's not 2:42just being scared, it's being 2:44overwhelmed, right? So in David's eyes 2:48at this moment he was running from Saul 2:51and obviously 2:53he was afraid. But why was he afraid?2:56Because he wanted to survive. Many of us 2:58do things out of survival. We lie. We 3:01cheat. We manipulate before we did these 3:03things. We withhold information. We tell 3:05have why? Because we're trying to 3:06survive. It's nothing more, nothing 3:08less. Is that in itself wrong? No, it's 3:11not. But you know what's crazy is 3:15Aheimch 3:16even through the lie he gives him mercy.3:19He gives David holy bread. He like he 3:22helps him. So this is what's beautiful 3:26about about God is that even if you mess 3:31up, God still sends the blessing. That's 3:34what we're saying here. Now, I'm not 3:35saying David should and you guys should 3:38continue to lie about things. That's not 3:40that's not good, right? But you have to 3:42understand God's covenant which is his 3:45promise with not just David but with 3:48anybody does not depend on your moral 3:50behavior or your righteousness. It 3:53doesn't depend on those things because 3:55if that's the case then every one of us 3:57would not be blessed. We all struggle 3:59with something. We all are very you know 4:03shortcomings. We have our shortcomings 4:04and our lackings. So it just proves that 4:07David was very human. Yes, he lied. Was 4:09it wrong that he lied? Absolutely right.4:12But Jesus is really amazing in that he 4:15he outweighs that. He blankets over 4:17that. He overlooks that. Why? Because he 4:20understands he that's why he writes it 4:21in Romans 3:4, right? Let all men be 4:23liars and women cuz they're one. Let all 4:26men and women be liars. Let God be true.4:28That means only God is true. That truly 4:31only God can tell the truth. So King 4:35David was called by God. He was God 4:37promised him. But he still made these 4:40fearful type decisions, like decisions 4:42based off of fear. He still made bad 4:44choices. But that's a beautiful thing,4:47right? Imagine it went the other way.4:50Imagine David was chosen by God and he 4:52made no mistakes. Then all of us will be 4:54cooked. It's like, oh hell no. Like 4:58we're we can't live up to that. So the 5:00the fact that a man after God's own 5:03heart lied to people, manipulated to get 5:06out, it's actually a really good thing 5:07for all of us because that means we have 5:09hope. Does that make sense? So that's a 5:11very very good question and a lot of 5:14people have to understand this. You 5:16know, they have to understand that we're 5:18going to mess up. Amen. Pastor, could 5:20you please explain Luke 15:4 to7? My 5:23interpretation could be different from 5:24yours or God's message. So we don't 5:26interpret the Bible. 2 Peter 1 20-22 5:30speaks about this. We accept the Bible.5:32Uh when you're talking about Luke 15, uh 5:35specifically verse 4-7,5:38the scripture speaks about you know a 5:41man losing you know 100 sheep, 99 sheep 5:46and and going for that one. And a lot of 5:49people don't realize two different 5:51things. Number one in this scripture 5:54contextually remember we have to ask why 5:58he says this who he's saying this to 5:59when he's saying this to this is what 6:01context means in Luke 15 he's given this 6:04parable and he's speaking right multiple 6:07parables to who the scribes and the 6:09Pharisees Pharisees are the religious 6:12leaders the ones who keep the religion 6:14do you guys know who the scribes are 6:17like the moral moral you know score 6:20takers they look and they scribe down,6:23write down inscribe when you do bad and 6:26when you do good. So they're like the 6:27scorekeeper people, right? They keep a 6:29score. Oh, okay. This guy lied today.6:31And they help the Pharisees, right?6:34Sodies kind of do the same thing. So 6:35it's Pharisees, scribes, and Sodies in 6:38this passage especially in Luke 15:14 6:41and 13 uh the chapters before it, they 6:43are very offended with Jesus. Why?6:45Because he keeps welcoming sinners. So 6:48then Jesus explains in an analogy. It's 6:51not something that happened, but he's 6:52explaining with an analogy. Hey, what 6:55man of you having a hundred sheep? He's 6:57trying to make them relate, right? You 6:58guys have a hund sheep. If you lose one 7:00of them, you do everything to go and 7:03find the lost one. And then when you 7:04find it, you put it on your shoulders,7:06right? And you rejoice. And when you 7:07come home, you call all of your friends 7:08and family and you rejoice and say, "I 7:10found the sheep that I lost." Right?7:12This is basically the scripture. And he 7:15says just like that, heaven is going to 7:17rejoice over one sinner that repents 7:20more than 99 just persons who need no 7:22repentance. Right? And so he explains 7:24these things. There's the lost sheep,7:26lost coin, lost son, right? These are 7:29the the parables that he explains. And 7:31why is he answering the question? What 7:33is he answering? He's answering this 7:35question of why does Jesus receive 7:36sinners? Because he's trying to show 7:38spiritual pride without telling them you 7:40guys are prideful. He's trying to show 7:41them mercy, right? It's the first 7:44admonition, meaning the first warning to 7:46them. It's the gospel. There's a 7:49shepherd. He refuses to lose what 7:52belongs to him. He will throw away 99 7:54righteous people for one sheep. And then 7:57not only that, he carries the sheep.7:59Meaning what? These sheep have gone 8:01astray. They were lost, which is me and 8:04you. And we cannot walk anymore because 8:06we're walking so much in our torment and 8:09our despair and our destruction and our 8:10sadness and our depression and our 8:12loneliness. So he even carries us on his 8:15shoulder and he wants to carry us.8:17Meaning Jesus takes care of all of our 8:20walk as well. He doesn't let us walk 8:22anymore after a while. But as long as 8:24you can stand on your own, as long as 8:26you can walk your own path, you can go 8:28your own way, then Jesus can never 8:30become the way. That's what it's saying.8:32Understand? Like sheep, they're very 8:34dumb. That's why they need a shepherd.8:36They don't strategize. You never think 8:38of a sheep as being smart. You think of 8:40them as being stupid. They walk into 8:42enemy territory.8:44They just walk around and get smoked 8:46basically. They don't retrace things.8:48They don't count things. They don't cry 8:49out for They don't do anything. They 8:51just wander. The thing that sheep do the 8:53best. Okay? And why Jesus uses this is 8:56because sheep do one thing the best.8:59They get lost. That's the best thing 9:01that they they do. Me and you are sheep.9:04We get lost. Understand what I'm saying?9:07What's beautiful about Jesus is he says 9:11the shepherd leaves the 99 and goes to 9:14the sheep. It doesn't say the sheep 9:16realized it was lost. It doesn't say the 9:18sheep repented its way home. The sheep 9:21literally contributes nothing to the 9:23rescue. Hello guys. Who do you think 9:26that's talking about? Me and you. You're 9:28not saved because you searched for God.9:30You know people go, "I found God." No,9:32no, no, no. God found you. Let's get 9:34that right. Number one, you weren't 9:36looking for God. stop playing. You were 9:38looking to get out of depression 9:39transactionally. You were looking for to 9:42get out of, you know, uh, hardship and 9:44and and disciplined and right?9:47Understand? You're only saved just like 9:49this sheep is only saved not because you 9:52cry out for rescue, but because you were 9:54lost and then that shepherd, God, came 9:57looking for you. That's the detail here.9:59That's the the depth here of the gospel.10:02He's explaining the gospel to them. Look 10:04at what Jesus is doing to the Pharisees 10:06and scribes. But they don't care. Why?10:08Because they don't think they're lost.10:11They're the sheep that think that 10:12they're smart. They're the sheep that 10:14think that they're wise. When sheep 10:16understand that they're sheep. When 10:19people understand that they're broken.10:21When they realize all I can do is get 10:22lost and in my life I suck, that's when 10:26God comes looking for them. Understand?10:28And what's beautiful is he says, right,10:30he will leave the 99 and go after that 10:32which is lost until he find it. Dude,10:36this is deep. Not if he finds it. Not 10:39unless the sheep repents and cooperates.10:42Not unless the sheep. No parameters, no 10:44conditions. Until he finds it. My 10:47goodness, God, he will look the ends of 10:50the earth until he finds the people he 10:52needs to find. You know, that's 10:54beautiful. When he says he layeth it on 10:57his shoulders, rejoicing, meaning he's 10:58happy to lay it on his shoulders. Notice 11:01how the shepherd doesn't go, "Where the 11:02hell were you? Why did it take you so 11:04long, Johnny? Why did it take you 24 11:06years to come back, you stupid sheep?"11:08Understand? Why didn't you quit the 11:09addiction, stupid sheep? Stupid sheep,11:11Johnny. Why didn't you stop lusting,11:12stupid sheep, Johnny? No, he doesn't 11:14lecture the sheep. He doesn't punish the 11:16sheep. He doesn't make it walk home to 11:18learn a lesson. He carries it. That's 11:21the depth of God's love. I carry you,11:25Johnny Chang. You suck, right? It's 11:28okay. And that's why I'm here for you. I 11:31love you. I love all of you. And yes,11:34you were lost, but that's not the 11:36problem to me, right? I'm my specialty 11:40is finding the lost people. And what's 11:43beautiful is again there is no anything 11:46that this sheep contributed to his own 11:50uh rescue. Rather, the sheep just 11:54continued staying lost. So what does God 11:56want you to do? Just be you. Just be 11:59you. That's what God is talking about 12:02with this. Understand? So don't 12:04interpret. Just read it carefully.12:06That's not an interpretation. It's very 12:08clear why God chooses Apollo, right?12:11Which is lost, meaning helpless, ruined,12:14unable to recover yourself, not 12:17rebellious, not defiant. Understand? It 12:20says incapable,12:22right? When you when you read the the 12:23the Greek, again, not an interpretation,12:26straight up translation, right? Straight 12:28up what it says. It says he goes for the 12:31lost, not the rebellious, not defiant.12:34Lost people are not, you know, that's 12:36part of it. Sure. But what they're 12:38really a lost person means, right?12:41Apollo means to be ruined, to be 12:43helpless, to be unable to recover 12:45yourself, to to be in danger, to be 12:47incapable.12:49You're not capable. You guys were not 12:51capable of getting yourselves out of 12:53depression. Not capable of getting 12:55yourselves out of lust. Not capable of 12:57getting yourselves out of depression.12:58Just stay like that. When you stay like 13:00that, God continuously helps you 13:03understand. But Satan, he does a job of 13:05condemning you. Man, you've been a 13:06Christian for x amount of years. Why you 13:08still struggle with that? What you mean?13:10I struggle with it. That's why God has 13:11to come after me every single day. And 13:13that's actually a privilege and a 13:15blessing. Understand? So if you feel far 13:18from God, he's already moving toward 13:21you. If you feel tired of trying, you 13:24were never meant to carry yourself or 13:25try anyways. If you fear that you've 13:28disappointed God, he rejoices when he 13:30finds you. That's what the Bible is 13:32telling us. It's not an interpretation.13:35It's straight up facts. Understand what 13:37I'm saying? Make sense? At the cross,13:40what did Jesus do? He left the 99,13:44right? He left the angels of in heaven 13:46to come down to us. Sheesh. Think about 13:49that for a second, brothers and sisters.13:52He could have stayed in his cozy place 13:54of heaven with 99 people who were 13:55righteous and loved him and served him,13:57the angels, nakashim, cherubims. But 14:00instead, he left them, entered 14:02[clears throat] the wilderness, which is 14:03the fallen world here, and then left 14:06with sinners on his shoulders, me and 14:09you. And he carried our sin and 14:12everything we had all the way home. Do 14:14you understand now? Do you guys 14:16understand the depth of the gospel here?14:19It's very deep. Much more deeper, right?14:23Than what you actually think, right? So 14:26this is not it's not about 14:28interpretation. It's always about 14:30revelation.14:32Understand? Amen. And so God is 14:35beautiful in this way. But again, we 14:38have to realize that we are nothing. We 14:42have to realize that we are people who 14:44failed, right? And that that's the 14:46number one thing. We have to realize 14:48we're lost. People who don't realize 14:50they're lost, they don't need a 14:52shepherd. They just keep going. The 14:54realization has to come with, oh, I I am 14:56nothing. I can't do anything but get 14:58lost. You guys understand what I'm 15:00saying? God is is in every intricate 15:03detail. I'll explain. When you guys 15:06Google Google donkey,15:08you guys just put Google, just Google 15:10donkey's back. Donkey's back and it'll 15:13tell you most donkeys possess a natural 15:16dorsal cross. Interesting. Who sat on a 15:18donkey? Yeshua. Understand? So, so in 15:23the intricate details of life, God is 15:25there. Understand? Like it's so simple.15:30It's called a dorsal cross. Why? Because 15:32donkeys carried Jesus. Just look at it.15:35Don't even just Google it. I'm telling 15:37you, they all have it. Anybody who's in 15:38there, right? The anatomy, right?15:41Understand? Why not pick up a horse? Why 15:44pick up a donkey? Because when you 15:46compare a horse to a donkey, which one's 15:49better? The the horse? It's an 15:51equestrian. It looks beautiful. It's 15:54it's got different breeds and morphology 15:56and all these things, right? It's more 15:58powerful. It's longer. It's stronger.16:01It's everything. Donkeys are stupid 16:04looking genu I'm sorry I'm not they're 16:06shorter they're like rigid they they 16:09just you know what I mean like they they 16:12just don't have any like anything nice 16:15about them and they're they're they're 16:16stubborn and they work hard and right 16:19they're they're they're just like stubby 16:22but that's me and you. We're not the 16:24chosen good-looking, you know, amazing 16:27like can run with amazing wind and 16:30stamina and and I'm talking about 16:31spiritually. We fail all the time. And 16:34yet God Jesus says, "I want that one.16:37Hosana. Hosana." It says in the Bible.16:40So even I'm saying like even in the 16:42intricate details, if you pay a little 16:43bit of attention here, you're able to 16:45kind of realize like, whoa, God is 16:48gangster. He chooses things that were 16:51always small, that were failures,16:55physically, mentally, emotionally,16:57anatomically, whatever. All of these 17:00things, it's always just been whack.17:02Like, you're just whack. And that's 17:04okay. Understand? Somewhere along the 17:07line, someone told us it's not okay to 17:09be whack and lost and horrible and sucky 17:12and and and angry and frust. Like,17:14somewhere along the line, Satan told us,17:16"You can't do this." Y'all understand 17:18what I'm saying, right? There are so 17:20many things inside of God that a lot of 17:23people don't recognize in nature. People 17:26are like, "Well, what about people who 17:27don't understand X, Y, and Z?" No, it's 17:29it's there's again God preaches through 17:34nature. He preaches through so many 17:36things. Understand? Like even even 17:40trees, when you look at trees, right? If 17:42you look at a tree, sin entered through 17:44a tree from the tree of the knowledge of 17:46good and evil. But sin ended on a tree,17:49the cross. Like intricate details like 17:52this, you start to pick up. Do you guys 17:54understand what I'm saying? Like small 17:57little intricate details. When you read 17:59the Bible enough, you realize, oh yeah,18:01sin came from eating from the fruit of 18:03the tree of the knowledge of good and 18:04evil. Of fruit, yes, but from a tree. No 18:07fruit. No tree, right? And then on the 18:10cross, it says he was hung on the cross 18:12on a tree. He that hangeth on a tree is 18:15cursed, it says. So the way God works is 18:18always front and back end. I'm going to 18:20start with this and I'm going to end it 18:21with this. I'm going to give Satan the 18:23power of death and I'm going to 18:24overthrow him with death. Do you guys 18:26understand what I'm saying? Anyone who 18:28are Bible buffs here, answer this 18:30question. How many lashings did Jesus 18:34take? You guys know and I'll explain.18:3739. Amen. He got lashed 39 times. Not 40 18:41cuz 40 is not allowed. 40 zero is not 18:43allowed in the Roman Empire. So when he 18:45got lashed, he got lashed 39 times. And 18:48it says in the Bible, by his stripes we 18:50are healed. Understand? So he got hit 39 18:53times. Now pay attention here cuz you 18:55guys love these unlocks. I'll just give 18:56them to you. 39 times. Do you know when 18:59you look in uh the world and you look at 19:02the categories of disease, there are 39 19:05categories of disease. It's it's 19:07medically understood when you talk to a 19:10doctor next time you go to your doctor.19:12How many categories of diseases are 19:13there? 39. And that's why it says by his 19:16stripes we are healed. God took all of 19:18our sicknesses and those diseases and 19:20bore them to the cross. That's what it 19:23actually means. So he's not lying when 19:24he says, "I took everything on me, your 19:27sicknesses, your cancers, everything 19:29else, and I put it on the cross." Do you 19:31understand? By his stripes, we are 19:32healed. So these little things that you 19:34catch, you start to catch them very 19:36deeply. Amen. You know, these little 19:40things as you focus on uh you know, it's 19:43it's it it comes down to I'm only 19:45sharing this because obviously it shares 19:47back to you know, points back to Jesus,19:49but a lot of people don't realize these 19:51small little intricate things. Amen. He 19:53made our lungs the same way. He made our 19:55lungs like trees. And you look at a a 19:58lung and you turn it upside down, it's a 19:59tree. It's in the shape of a tree. Look 20:01at the X-ray of a lung and then look at 20:03an actual tree and it looks like it. And 20:06that's why our lungs and trees have to 20:08work together. They have to work 20:10together, right? They bring oxygen. Even 20:12the word I am, like his name is I am,20:16right? [clears throat]20:17Even before you introduce yourself, when 20:20you put I'm like, hey, who are you? Oh,20:23I'm Johnny Chang. You have to say his 20:25name first. I am Johnny Chen, right?20:27Understand? Like his name is Y V. I am.20:30So in every little intricate detail, the 20:33way to say his name too is Yahweh. It's 20:36it's not Yahweh. It's like that. That's 20:40how you actually say his name in in 20:42Hebrew way, right? It's like a whisper,20:45but yet when we breathe, it's it's truly 20:49it's real genuinely, right? When you 20:51learn. So from every single day, you're 20:54crying out to Yahweh, whether you 20:55believe it or not. That's kind of what 20:57it comes down to. And God made it this 20:59way. So for anyone to say he's not real,21:01they don't know him. That's why they 21:03don't understand him. That's why they 21:05don't they've never heard these things.21:08Understand? So there's so many things 21:09where even in your breath, God is there.21:12Even in the nature, God is there. That's 21:13why he says, "I'm everywhere with you."21:15Right? People go, "I don't see Jesus."21:17No. Oh, I see Jesus every single day.21:19Not in the way that they think. They 21:21they don't see him physically. Sure. But 21:23you see him everywhere. You guys 21:25understand what I'm saying, right? So 21:27again, never up for interpretation. You 21:30can do the research. You can look at 21:31cold hard facts and it's a translation 21:34of everything. You know, that's the 21:36beautiful thing about God. God is very,21:39very meticulous in the things that he 21:41does, right? Every little thing. You 21:43know, you guys can find these things on,21:44you know, Google or whatever. But what 21:46I'm saying is what I've discovered is I 21:48looked at it too in a lot of ways and 21:50I'm like, "Huh, God is there." You know,21:52cuz it says that God preaches through 21:54nature. And I never understood that back 21:56then. Now, I do after reading the Bible 21:58multiple times and understanding that 22:00yes, he actually is everywhere. There's 22:02no way that you can miss him. It just 22:04isn't. You know, I believe that God has 22:06given us free will. Yes. To choose him.22:09We have to choose. But he also has 22:11predestined us, all of us, to go to 22:13heaven. Why? Because he sent Jesus 2,000 22:15years ago without your consent. Right?22:17Cuz the Bible says the cross. That's why 22:19when you look at uh Galatians, it speaks 22:21about this. So, yeah. And then it was 22:24also Roman crucifixion. So he was 22:26crucified by the Romans and if you do 22:28your historical research that's how they 22:30crucified people not on logs but on 22:32crosses right so and uh they would use 22:36certain types of wood 22:38acacia woods these are different types 22:40of woods that have a natural crossesque 22:43and you look at Hebrew it's that the 22:45word for cross or mark is tav and so 22:49it's it's in the shape of an X now when 22:51you tip the X on its side it's a it's 22:53like a T. So I mean again if you do this 22:57this research right it but but when if 22:59you're thinking about little things like 23:01this it doesn't really matter 23:03respectfully why why that doesn't matter 23:06because it comes from a heart of 23:07skepticism. Does that make sense? Like 23:11it's it's a heart of like well how do we 23:13know he's on a cross or like there's a 23:14heart of skepticism and if you have a 23:17heart of skepticism that's already 23:19wrong. Like we have to realize that.23:22Make sense? Because if I share I can 23:24share a lot of unlocks like this, but 23:26what this does to people is it now 23:28creates a checkbox mentality. Do you 23:30understand? Oh, I'm only going to 23:32believe in God because you made it make 23:34sense to me. Do you guys understand?23:37That's the most dangerous thing you can 23:39do to somebody. You can set them up, you 23:42know, uh for failure by doing that. You 23:45guys got that? It's just Yeah. Right.23:47So, yeah, I understand. Right. Jehovah's 23:50Witness, but don't believe in hell. Oh,23:51you know, there's a lot of things that 23:52you guys don't believe in. I understand 23:54that. But you have to foundationally 23:56uproot that too. Does that make sense,23:59Daisy? Sis, you have to realize that 24:02everything you were taught in there was 24:03wrong completely. Does that make sense?24:06Um, so once you realize that, then you 24:10can't take anything from that foundation 24:12to then apply it to other foundation,24:14right? Does it does it make sense? Yeah.24:17So this is kind of what it same thing.24:19People come in here as Catholicism and 24:21so what they'll ask me is is purgatory 24:23real? So they they know that they've 24:25shifted off of Catholicism, but then 24:27they'll ask things like purgatory and 24:29you know things like that, right? The 24:30Marian prayer and and and you know 24:32saying these types of things, who is 24:34Mary? Well, in their hearts, it's 24:36because they already have a mindset,24:38right? Like I've studied a little bit on 24:42Jehovah's Witness. Um, I I know I know a 24:45lot of people who I've met, you know,24:47your guys' theology back then, uh,24:49you're not that anymore. It's it's wrong 24:52at the core, right? Because number one,24:54you guys deny the full deity of Christ 24:57and it is very performative like you 24:59say. You you do believe that, you know,25:01works is important. So, you guys don't 25:03believe that Jesus is God. You believe 25:05he is created being. And then some of 25:08you guys, I know believe that he's 25:10actually the the the Archangel Michael.25:13Correct me if I'm wrong. And so you 25:15don't believe he's eternally divine.25:18Right. Amen. Right. So it's kind of, you 25:21know, in this kind of those are the core 25:23issues, right? And so it's very 25:26performative. Yes. It's very different 25:27from Christianity. Amen. Not feeling 25:29free but more guilty of sins. Exactly.25:31Exactly. Because that's what 25:32performative is. Works based salvation 25:34always makes you less free. It always 25:36makes you more bonded. And you guys use 25:38the NWT, New World Translation, right?25:41which literally will alter verses of the 25:43Bible. I've seen it. That's why NLT, N,25:46NWT, all that. And so, yeah, the the the 25:49the principle here is they're they're 25:52removing and stripping the deity of 25:53Christ so that he cannot save. And that 25:56means you have to save yourself. That's 25:58why it's a different gospel. And they 26:00swear it doesn't translate to something 26:01different. Right. Right. Of course. So,26:03don't be frustrated with them. Right.26:05Daisy sis, they are also misinformed 26:08like all of us were. You were part of 26:10that religion. Right? We're part of 26:11certain things, certain sex and things 26:14like that. We didn't know. And so it's 26:16okay. A lot of them don't know. That's 26:17why Jesus says, "Father, forgive them 26:19for they do not know." He doesn't say,26:21"Forgive them because they know and they 26:22continue to go against you." He's 26:25saying, "Father, forgive them for they 26:27don't know. They don't know what they're 26:29doing." A lot of us, be honest here, we 26:32don't know what we're doing either.26:34We're just navigating life. We think we 26:37know. We don't actually know. So, at the 26:41core of it, I feel bad for them. Does 26:43that make sense? I don't get angry 26:45because because they're so embellished 26:48with their thoughts. They're so I'm 26:50right. I know I'm right and you guys are 26:52wrong. That it's actually scary that 26:54they can never see themselves. And 26:56that's why it's really sad. It's really 26:59sad to look at them and go, "Dang, they 27:01don't get it. They they genuinely are 27:04walking the path to hell." And they 27:06don't understand that. Understand?27:08Listen, any system, whether it's 27:10Jehovah's Witness, whether it's 27:11Mormonism, whatever, any system that 27:14makes Jesus less than God and salvation 27:16less than finished is not the gospel 27:19flat out. It's just not. The gospel is 27:22Jesus did everything. He's equal to God 27:24and he finished everything. Anything 27:26that strips that away from him is not 27:28from God. It's actually demonic 27:29doctrine. Amen. Yeah. It's okay. It's I 27:33mean, naturally, the word is going to 27:34divide people. The truth will divide.27:38People think the truth unites people.27:39Yes, it unites those who are truthful,27:41but it divides those who are wicked. So 27:44don't feel division as a bad thing.27:46Naturally, it says the word is a sword.27:49You know, when you cut something, what 27:50are you doing? You're dividing it.27:52You're separating it. That's why it's 27:54called the word is a sword. It's sharper 27:57than any two-edged sword. Actually, the 27:59sharpest sword. Understand what I'm 28:01saying? Right? And so, so it's okay.28:03It's okay, you know, it's okay to feel 28:06like that because, you know, and and and 28:08be nice to them like listen, we are 28:10people who have the true biblical 28:12salvation, the gospel. You're supposed 28:14to bend respectfully, right? Just like a 28:17mother or a father is supposed to bend 28:18to their child cuz they know more and 28:20they understand more, we also have to 28:22bend to people. Make sense? Now, it's 28:25different when they come in and they're 28:27blatantly doing something, right? Like 28:29if they're blatantly understanding that 28:31they're wrong, then it comes down to now 28:35you have to fight for them and you have 28:37to uh restore them. Do you really 28:40believe Jesus is not enough? Then you 28:42believe you can save yourself. Well,28:43what can you do to save yourself? You 28:45can ask these questions and get into it 28:47with them. Understand, right? You can.28:50So like this example, my friend believes 28:52Jesus Christ is not God but believes 28:54God. Believes in God. What do you think,28:56Johnny? So I don't think he believes in 28:58God. In order to believe in God, you 29:00have to believe in Jesus Christ.29:02Understand? Right? That's the whole 29:04premise of what God is. God sent his 29:07only begotten son. Right? But then I 29:09wouldn't argue with them about that. I 29:11would say, well, if you can use 29:13analogies, you know, can you say that 29:16you respect me if you disrespect my son 29:19and don't give my son the respect? No.29:22That would be blatantly and 29:23inadvertently disrespecting me, too.29:25Would you agree if you had a son and I 29:27said, "Hey, bro. I respect you, but I 29:30don't respect your son and I don't care 29:32about your son." Like, that's actually 29:34disrespectful. No, you should. If if 29:36that's my family and I respect them,29:37then you should respect them, too.29:39Right? It's simple understanding in this 29:42way. And they'll probably continue. No,29:45that's not true. Because I can respect 29:46you and then not respect your son. I can 29:48respect you and not respect your 29:49brother. Right? But if I love my brother 29:50and my brother are one, me and my 29:52brother are one. As the Bible says, me 29:54and me and Jesus are one, then he's an 29:57extension of me, how can you not respect 29:59me? You can then explain it. And if no,30:02no, that's not what when it becomes 30:04this, then you have to check. Hey, it 30:05seems like you don't want to listen. It 30:07seems like you just don't like Jesus. If 30:09that's the case, I would argue you don't 30:11believe in God. I think you just want to 30:14believe in God himself, but maybe 30:16there's something that you got to you're 30:18struggling with and there's a challenge 30:19for you, but you know, I I I 30:21respectfully can't talk to you about 30:22this anymore. That happened yesterday,30:25right? A 19-year-old kid came in and he 30:27was like, "I have the Holy Spirit, too.30:29You think you're the only believer that 30:31has the Holy Spirit right there?" What 30:32you guys don't understand, that's 30:33already arrogance.30:35Do you guys understand what I'm saying?30:37Okay. And I and I said, "Then teach on 30:39your platform." I agree. Right. And I 30:41even try to edify. I agree with you. I'm 30:43not saying you don't go and teach. Well,30:45I led my family and my aunties and my 30:47uncles and my whole family to Amen. So 30:49then do that on your own platform. Why 30:51do you need one here? Right? Why do you 30:53need to be in here to do this stuff?30:55Well, I'm just here to help other 30:56people, right? We got it though. And he 30:58tried to flip it. He he he flipped it,31:01right? He said, "Well, you know, are we 31:03able to speak or only you and you know,31:06are we supposed to be silenced?"31:07Basically, this is was the energy that 31:09only Johnny Chang and his mods can 31:12speak. And I was like, "Yes, because 31:15it's our platform. [laughter]31:17Understand?" Oh, well, it's God's 31:18platform and whatever it is. And it's 31:20like, cool, cool. That's fine. That's 31:22fine. But at the end of the day, it's 31:24this heart posture of I'm a good person.31:27And if you guys notice, he kept saying,31:28"I love you guys. I love you guys. I 31:30love you." That's what legalism does.31:32It's always I'm going to spit in your 31:34face, disrespect with authority, but in 31:36order to look good, I'm going to finish 31:37it with I love you all and I care about 31:39all of you guys. Do you understand what 31:41I'm saying? Understand? Right? It's 31:44always this way because they're they're 31:46based off of moral intuition. They're 31:48based off of morality and ethical code 31:52and ethics. They're not caring more 31:55about the word of God. Right? So during 31:58that day at that time, I chose to let 31:59him on and and you know, fight for him.32:02I said, 'You got to use scripture. And I 32:04know he didn't know scripture, but 32:06that's the arrogance is to think that I 32:08can lead people without any scripture 32:11and just thinking, well, the Bible must 32:13say something like this. Amen, guys.32:16Hey, if you're enjoying this episode, I 32:18have a whole other video episode on all 32:20platforms, YouTube, Spotify, Instagram,32:23all that every single Monday. Each 32:25episode is a gospel- centered lesson 32:27that you could apply to your life today.32:29So, this is more conversational. You 32:31guys know my team, Jeremy and Aaron. We 32:33just have a lot of fun. We joke around,32:35but we get serious. We get vulnerable.32:37It's just very, very different and it's 32:40beautiful. I hope you guys can tune in.32:42And we made this for you guys. So,32:44please enjoy. Can I explain to you why 32:46that's such a dangerous mindset? Well,32:49the Bible kind of says it. Kind of and 32:52says it is two different things. Uh,32:54I'll explain. Ella, can you pull up 32:57Genesis 32:593 verse 1 to4 and I'll show you guys why 33:03it's so important to just understand 33:06scripture accurately, not just quote it 33:09or think you think you know. Okay, let's 33:12read it. Okay, now the serpent was more 33:14subtle than any beast of the field which 33:16the Lord God hath made. And he said unto 33:19the woman, "Yeah, hath God said, you 33:21shall not eat of the tree of every tree 33:23of the garden? Even Satan critiques 33:27word?" Got it? He's asking her, "What 33:30did God say?" Aka, what does the word 33:33say? Now, the Bible isn't written yet,33:35but he's asking him, "What? What is God 33:38saying? What does God actually say?"33:41He's testing her, not in a good way, in 33:43a bad way. I'll show you. Verse two. And 33:45the woman said unto the serpent, "We may 33:47eat of the fruit of the trees of the 33:49garden." Those of you guys who know 33:50this, don't say anything. I want to see 33:52if anyone catches this. But of the fruit 33:54of the tree of the garden, uh, which is 33:56in the midst of the garden, God hath 33:57said, "You shall not eat of it, neither 33:59shall you touch it, lest you die." And 34:00the serpent said unto the woman, "You 34:02shall not surely die." So, let me ask 34:04you guys something. You know, she was 34:06right. She quoted scripture. She quoted 34:08exactly what God said. So why did why 34:12did Satan go against her and say you 34:14shall not surely die? Can you guys tell 34:17me what the discrepancy is here? What 34:19what is the issue here? The ones that 34:21don't know. The ones that know don't say 34:23anything. Think about it carefully here.34:26Right? I kind of gave away the answer 34:28earlier. There's people typing believing 34:30her own thoughts. Temptation. Every tree 34:32versus the tree of the knowledge of good 34:34and evil. Kind of close. So she said,34:37right? Let's let's pose three and four 34:39really quickly and testing our faith. Is 34:41it because it wasn't physical but 34:43spiritual? You guys see how you keep 34:44adding your thoughts. Beautiful. It 34:46doesn't say any of that. Watch read it 34:47carefully with me. But of watch how we 34:50work versus what other people how other 34:52people work. Okay? I'm not saying we're 34:53better. I'm just saying think carefully.34:56Ye shall not surely die. Think carefully 34:57of what I'm saying. But of the fruit of 34:59the tree which is in the midst of the 35:01garden, God hath said, she says, God 35:02says, you shall not eat of it, neither 35:04shall you touch it, lest you die. Now 35:07when you go to Genesis 2:17,35:10read it carefully here and let's see if 35:13God hath said this exactly. But of the 35:16tree of the knowledge of good and evil,35:17thou shalt not eat of it. For in the day 35:19that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt 35:20surely die. Now what happened here? What 35:22did she do that Satan picked up on?35:26Neglecting God's rule out made her own 35:29version. How she said can't touch it.35:32Add it to the word. There you go. Where 35:34in that verse does God say, "Don't touch 35:36it?" She added her thoughts into it. And 35:40right there, the very next verse, Satan 35:42realized she doesn't know. Boom. And 35:45dropped it in. No, you won't die. No,35:48read it again. So, Genesis 21:17, pull 35:50it up again, Ella, and then load up 35:52Genesis 3, uh, verse verse three. So,35:55look, but of the tree, this is God's 35:57actual word. But of the tree of the 35:59knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt 36:01not eat of it. Don't eat of it. For in 36:03the day that you eat of it, thou shalt 36:05surely die. But look at what she wrote.36:07But of the fruit of the tree which is in 36:09the midst of the garden, God said this.36:11She doesn't she doesn't say she said it.36:13God says this. You shall not eat of it,36:15neither shall you touch it lest you die.36:17Right there, Satan's like this dum dum 36:20doesn't know the word. I got her. Do you 36:23understand? So with that brother had the 36:25same heart posture. Well, in the Bible,36:27doesn't it say something like that? That 36:28you have to devote your life to God. You 36:29have to pray to God. You have to live 36:31with God. That's what it says. And 36:32Satan's like, "Yes, I got him. Now I can 36:35pour everything into him and tell him 36:37that it's from God, and he's going to 36:38think it's from God because it's really 36:39from me." Do you understand? He couldn't 36:42see it. That's why you have to know the 36:44word accurately. You cannot just go, I 36:47think it says that. Do you understand?36:49Now, that's how she was deceived. Now,36:52he uses the same thing towards Jesus in 36:56Matthew chapter 5, Matthew chapter 4 as 36:58well. He explains to him if you be the 37:02son of God attacks his identity. If you 37:04are really God, testing his patience cuz 37:07he is God. If you're really the son of 37:09God, turn these stones into bread. But 37:12look at how Jesus responds. Um and when 37:16the tempter came to him, he said unto 37:18him, "If thou be the son of God, command 37:20these stones to be made bread." But he 37:22answered and said, look at how he 37:24responds. It is written, man shall not 37:27live by bread alone, but by every word 37:30that proceedth out of the mouth of God.37:33It is written. Right? What is he what is 37:36he saying? He's quoting scripture. You 37:39guys understand now, right? And he says 37:42it accurately. Amen. It is written. Now,37:46Satan also quotes scripture. But Satan 37:49does exactly what the brother did. He 37:51quotes the same scripture. What is what 37:54is Jesus quoting here? Pull up 37:56Deuteronomy 8:3. He's quoting scripture 38:00carefully here. He says, "And he humbled 38:03thee and suffered thee to be hungry, and 38:05fed thee with mana which thou knowest 38:07not, neither did thy fathers know, that 38:09he might take thee uh know that man doth 38:12not live by bread only, but by every 38:14word that proceeded out of the mouth of 38:16the Lord." Right? He quotes scripture 38:18very beautifully right here. Look at 38:21what Satan does. He repeats Psalm 91 38:23back to him. Watch. Go to Psalm 91 38:2611-12.38:2811-12. And then also pull up uh Ella 38:31what Satan quotes in uh Matthew 38:36uh 5 uh 5 and 6 I believe to read it 38:40carefully here. Verse 6. Matthew 4:6.38:43Okay. So let's read and I'll and I'll 38:47take the Psalm one here and I'll just 38:49Don't type guys. Okay, just read it with 38:52me. Okay, so look at Psalm 91 first 11 38:55and 12. For he shall give his angel 38:57charge over thee to keep thee in all thy 38:59ways. They shall bear thee up in their 39:02hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a 39:05stone. That's what he said. Now look at 39:07what Satan does and said unto them, if 39:09thou be the son of God, cast down 39:11thyself. For it is written, he's quoting 39:13too, he shall give angels charge 39:16concerning thee. In their hands shall 39:18they bear thee up, lest any time thou 39:20dash thy foot against the stone. What 39:22happened here? What did he remove? Pay 39:25close attention. He didn't just take it 39:28out of context. He removed something.39:30Read it carefully here. What did he 39:32remove? What did he remove? He removed 39:34this part. To keep thee in all thy ways.39:38The angels are there to guide you. So 39:41what did he remove? Guidance. No, no,39:44no. You guide yourself. You don't need 39:46his guidance, Holy Spirit. Do you 39:49understand? He removed God's provision 39:51over your life. So, right there, Jesus 39:54knows, oh, this guy is trying to 39:56manipulate. All you have to do is remove 39:58a little bit of peace, right? A little 40:00piece. Look, watch. I'll show you guys.40:02I'll do the same thing. I'll do it as if 40:04Satan does this to all of us here. Watch 40:06the scripture. I'll show you. Wherefore,40:09my beloved, as you have always obeyed,40:11not as in my presence only, but now much 40:13more in my absence, work out your own 40:15salvation with fear and trembling. Watch 40:17this. Okay. So, what do you have to do?40:19Work out your own salvation with fear 40:20and trembling. Amen. And then watch 40:23this. I'm going to I'm going to throw 40:24another verse. Even so, faith, if it has 40:27not works, is dead being alone. Now,40:29what did I just do to you guys with 40:31these two verses from the scripture?40:33What did I just do? I shifted you into 40:35works. work out your own salvation with 40:37fear and trembling and faith without 40:40works is dead. Right? There your whole 40:43thing if you believe this will shift 40:45from grace to works just like that.40:47Right? What I should be doing. I should 40:50be doing this. Watch. I'll show you how 40:53to quote scripture in context. What I 40:55should be doing is this. Watch. Watch 40:57how the same scripture but a different 41:00message. Wherefore, my beloved, as you 41:02have always obeyed, not as in my 41:04presence only, but not m now much more 41:06in my absence, work out your own 41:08salvation with fear and trembling. 13,41:09the very next verse. For it is God which 41:12workketh in you both to will and to do 41:14his good pleasure. Who does his good 41:16pleasure and who does the work? Oh, God.41:18Amen. Right there. It's it strips you 41:21out of it. Right? And then I should I 41:23should be quoting like this. If you want 41:25to quote scripture, you got to quote 41:26context. So James is speaking to this.41:29He's not speaking to us. He's speaking 41:31to the 12 tribes. And in the 12 tribes,41:33the same James five chapters later says,41:35"You have condemned and killed the just.41:37He does not resist you." So, is he 41:39talking to me and you, brothers and 41:40sisters? No. He's talking to the 41:42Pharisees because they're the Israelites 41:44that are scattered. Now, he's telling 41:46them that they need to work out their 41:48own salvation in fear and trembling. Do 41:51you understand what I'm saying? Right?41:53And then now, when I quote it in 41:54context,41:56even so faith, if it has no works,41:58right?41:59understand it is dead. So who is he 42:01talking to? The Pharisees. The 42:03Pharisees. You guys got that? So even 42:06though I quoted scripture, I'm showing 42:09you something. This is how you're 42:11supposed to actually quote scripture in 42:14context, not take things out and say 42:16this because I can still do the same 42:18thing with you guys, right? I can do it 42:21with the same scripture. I can do I can 42:23we can if we wanted to manipulate with 42:25the Bible, we can just like the way they 42:27do it. Watch. I show you. Hey, you guys 42:29said that you're righteous and 42:30perfected, right? And Johnny Chang said 42:32it's okay that you're you come to God 42:34lustful and whatever. It's okay, right?42:35But Johnny, look at what it says here.42:37Boom. Right here. You guys will get 42:39scared if you guys don't have scripture 42:40or contextual knowledge. Now you know 42:43that the unrighteous shall not inherit 42:44the kingdom of God. Be not deceived.42:46Neither fornicators nor adulterers, nor 42:48adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers 42:49of themselves of mankind, nor thieves,42:50nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor 42:52revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit 42:53the kingdom of God. Right there. If I 42:55told you guys that and let's say I 42:58wasn't studied, I would I would buffer 42:59uh well uh uh this means uh it means 43:02unrighteous. Uh um uh wait, Johnny, you 43:05said that we're all righteous. So what's 43:06going on here? That's what Satan does to 43:09you. He takes the word like this, right?43:11But they but then he he hides one thing 43:13from you. Just this one little verse. He 43:15says, "And such were some of you, but 43:18you are washed." Washed is in past 43:19tense, already washed. But you are 43:21sanctified already holy. But you are 43:23justified already just and righteous in 43:25the name of the Lord Jesus by the spirit 43:26of our God. Not by your works. Do you 43:29guys understand? Now do you understand 43:30the difference here? If I preach just 43:33one side and I don't show you the other 43:34side, you will be condemned. But if I 43:37show you the full picture, how can you 43:39be condemned? Satan is this way. Hey,43:43work out your salvation fear and oh 43:44yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, you're 43:46right. And then we add our thoughts into 43:47it. Oh, I'm not making I'm not wor. How 43:49many of you guys were trapped in this 43:51cycle? You're trapped in the cycle for a 43:53very long time. Understand? Right. He 43:56hides verses from you guys. That's why 43:58he says that person who removes right or 44:01adds to the word is cursed. And he's 44:03talking about Satan. Look, if I if I 44:05just posted this right here, you guys 44:07could defeat all my arguments just with 44:08that. We're not sinners anymore, guys.44:11We're righteous and perfected. Oh, yeah,44:12Johnny. Why does it say all have sinned 44:13and fall short of the glory of God then?44:15Right here it says it. That scripture,44:17that scripture, come on. And yet he 44:20hides one verse. Just one verse right 44:24right after it, which is this one. Being 44:27justified freely. So you're justified 44:30for free by his grace through the 44:32redemption that is in Christ Jesus.44:33Already justified. Very next verse.44:36He'll hide it though. Nope. I always ask 44:39pastors, "Pastor, when you pull up 44:41Romans 3:23, Johnny, you preach sinless 44:43perfection." No, I don't. You think that 44:45we're born sinless? I've never said 44:46that. Can you show me the next? They 44:48will quote Romans 3:23 off the off the 44:50off the hip. They shoot from the hip.44:52For all have sinned and come short of 44:54the glory of God. Amen. What does 24 44:55say? What does that matter? Have you 44:57even had pastors, bishops, bishops 44:59overlook 10 different churches at once?45:01What does verse 24 say? Do you know? Why 45:03does that matter, brother? In spirit. We 45:06are sinners. Right? But can you show me 45:08what 24 is? And they literally have to 45:10open up and then actually quote it being 45:14justified freely through the redemption 45:16that is in Christ Jesus. And then they 45:17add their their thoughts. So are we 45:19justified? Wait, what it says here?45:22We're justified for free. Yes, in 45:24spirit. That's how he he was literally 45:27screaming in my face. In spirit we're 45:28justified. We're not justified right 45:30now. So they do everything to tell you 45:32you're a sinner. I do everything to tell 45:34you you're righteous. Who are you going 45:35to listen to? Do you guys understand 45:37now? Do you understand the difference 45:39here? A true biblical person is going to 45:43only quote scripture. A person who's not 45:46biblical is going to go, I think it says 45:48that in the Bible because I feel that 45:50that's the difference. That's why that 45:52brother cannot lead. It's not because 45:54he's young. We have Ella in here. She's 45:56young. She's way more surrendered than a 45:59lot of people and she's a mod right 46:01there. That should make him think a 46:03little, huh? Johnny's not biased towards 46:05age, but he is biased towards scriptural 46:08knowledge. If you don't have it, you 46:10don't got it like that. That's just the 46:12truth. Understand what I'm saying? He 46:14took everything personally while I was 46:16trying to restore him spiritually.46:18That's what people don't understand.46:20Make sense? They don't even see the 46:22battle. They see it as you attacked me 46:25personally just like the Pharisees felt 46:28like you attacked me personally when 46:30Jesus was literally sitting there just 46:31teaching. So the whole point in here 46:34guys is I am team you. Do you understand 46:38brothers and sisters? I am always going 46:40to be team you. Now I don't have my 46:43perfect ble. You know I have my 46:44blemishes. I'm not perfect. I'm flawed 46:46in a lot of ways that you guys don't 46:48know and do know. However, the one thing 46:50I do know is that scripture is king here 46:55because I just showed you guys why. And 46:58I know how to weave at least through all 47:01of those things and then to bring it to 47:03you guys to understand at least many of 47:05you guys didn't know why why Satan was 47:07bold enough to trick Eve because and now 47:11you understand the unlock. Understand 47:13what I'm saying, right? So So what are 47:15you trying to get at? Psalm doesn't 47:17Psalm 51 I'll quote you the scripture.47:19Watch. Ready? Ready? Psalm 51 verse5. I 47:22I'll pull it up for you. Amen. Behold, I 47:24was shapen in iniquity and s in in sin 47:26did my mother conceive me. Right there.47:29Right there. Pel pill. You need to 47:32listen to what I'm saying here. Right 47:34there. I quoted the scripture. So, do 47:36you think I know what it means? Right 47:39there. You have to put down your 47:40skepticism. Do you understand what I'm 47:42saying? Your curiosity right there. You 47:44have to see, oh my gosh, Johnny realizes 47:46this. He knows. Make sense? Cuz what 47:50you're going to say dependent on what it 47:52is, right? And I'm just assuming here, I 47:54may be wrong, but scripture pops up too 47:56for me, is that it's going to now lean 47:58into, but aren't we all sinners? If 48:01that's the case, I just have one 48:02question. Why did Jesus come down and 48:05die for for nothing then? Because he 48:07didn't absolve our sins, brothers and 48:09sisters. He failed. Are you willing to 48:11say that before you say anything else?48:14Are you willing to say that? Right? You 48:16have to be cautious about that. Look,48:18we're very good at reading hearts here.48:20genuinely, bro. Release that. Accept 48:23that about me. I can read your heart.48:25That's all you have to learn. Okay? He 48:27can get it. That sounds crazy. I 48:29understand because we're parasocial. But 48:31you don't realize how the how the Bible 48:33comes to me. The way that the Holy 48:36Spirit helps me is through scripture.48:38I'll I'll I'll read something here.48:41Understand? And it'll pop up. Make 48:44sense? Right? So when you ask that 48:47question, number one, you have to be 48:49sensitive towards other people who are 48:51asking that question. You can't just 48:54accept your thought and throw a wrench 48:55into the into the argument. Do you 48:58understand what I'm saying? When I'm 48:59presenting something because let's say I 49:01do that. Let's say I get tripped up by 49:03what you say. Oh, you know what? You're 49:05right. I'm not a new creation. The Bible 49:06doesn't say that. I'm not, you know, a 49:09new creature. And yeah, we're all born 49:10sinners. Amen. And we stay sinners until 49:12we die. But I I would argue that you're 49:15only saying that because you're still 49:17struggling with some kind of sin and 49:19because you this message is not it 49:21doesn't make sense to you. Let's say 49:23then you have to utilize the other 49:25message of I'm okay to keep sinning. Do 49:28you understand? Because you don't feel 49:29valid. If that's not your heart, please 49:32tell me. But that's what's popping up 49:33for me. Do you understand? Because 49:35you're still struggling with something 49:37and you can't call your to call yourself 49:39righteous is a fraud. It feels 49:40fraudulent. And so you have to ask 49:43questions like that. Do does that make 49:45sense? Oh, well, but aren't we all born 49:47into sin? Doesn't that mean that we mess 49:48up? Doesn't that if if this is true, you 49:50can say it. If it's not, it's okay. But 49:52genuinely speaking, no one asks that 49:55question if they're truly sinful. People 49:58only ask these types of questions not 50:01just for clarification, but to prove in 50:03their head that they think that they're 50:05okay. Right? Even this question here,50:07can you explain 1 John chapter 8, right,50:09to 10? We know the scriptures. If you 50:11say you have no sin, the truth is not in 50:13you. You make God a liar. If you confess 50:15your sins, he is faithful and just to 50:17forgive you of your sins. Right,50:19Papitas? That's the scripture, right?50:21So, if you right there, you have to know 50:24Johnny already knows. He's literally 50:26sitting here and he's addressing this.50:29The context for that is very simple.50:32It's you don't know the context.50:35Understand what I'm saying? Yes. You're 50:37righteous through all your failures.50:40Amen. That's what it means because like 50:42I just said earlier, God chose you 50:45before. Amen. He chose you before. All 50:49right. But going back to this before I 50:51answer first John 8 uh chapter 1 8 to10.50:55Bellow, do you understand what I'm 50:57saying? Do you understand? If you're 50:59feeling pride, if you're feeling 51:01frustrated, if you're feeling like, bro,51:02you don't even get what I'm saying. Say 51:04that. Don't spin any other way. Just be 51:07honest. Understand? If you're feeling 51:09like, yo, I I was just asking that for 51:11like say that, but be honest in front of 51:14God is what I'm saying. Make sense? If 51:17you love biblical lessons like this,51:18then you would love my weekly Bible 51:20class. Bible class brings clarity,51:23community, and consistency. There are a 51:25lot of us who read the Bible, but we 51:26don't know how to apply that to our 51:27lives. Consistency. Also, a lot of you 51:30guys want to read the Bible, and you 51:31don't know where to start, how to start,51:33and therefore it kind of discourages you 51:35guys to read the Bible. So, every week 51:37at on Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. Pacific 51:39Standard Time, we go through one chapter 51:42and we break down every single verse and 51:45apply those verses to your life. And 51:46after the Bible class, we also do a 51:49group mentor session where it's you can 51:51ask me customized questions and anything 51:54about the class and anything about your 51:56own life. If this sounds interesting to 51:58you, you guys can check the link in the 52:00bio and use code wisdom to get 50% off 52:02your first month. See you guys this 52:04Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Standard 52:07Time. There's a heart posture in our 52:10hearts that when I say that we're 52:13perfected, there's a heart of like I 52:15feel fraudulent about that though cuz 52:17you base your faith off of your 52:19feelings. Do you understand what I'm 52:21saying? Because your faith is based off 52:24of your feelings. But feelings change.52:26Faith does not. Faith remains. So 52:29because you guys don't know the 52:30scripture, even when I explain the 52:33scripture, it is difficult to grasp 52:36because your your whole heart and your 52:38whole spiritual life has been based off 52:40of feelings. So that is a that is a 52:43feelings-based issue. That means I 52:46cannot change you guys even with the 52:49scripture [snorts] to go from feelings 52:51to faith. You have to make that 52:53decision. And to make that decision is 52:55very simple. How many times in your life 52:57is it net positive or net negative when 52:59you followed your gut feeling it felt it 53:02it it led you to happiness like the 53:05woman you chose to date the man you 53:06chose to date how did it lead you 53:09respectfully you have to be honest with 53:12yourself that's what you have to do I 53:14can't be honest for you but that's what 53:17Satan does oh he's calling me out we 53:19harden I'm not calling you guys out I'm 53:22saying you have to be real with yourself 53:24because in that that time when you go 53:26home and you're by yourself and you're 53:28alone in your thoughts, that's when 53:30you're real, more real than ever. You 53:32have to be honest with yourself. And 53:34then naturally, you will forget your 53:36feelings and you will realize, dude, if 53:39I honestly trusted myself and it led me,53:42well, why the hell am I so sad? Why the 53:45hell am I so unhappy? Why do I blame 53:47others? Why am I so negative towards 53:49people? Why am I so comparing? And and 53:51you know, comparison is a thief of joy,53:53right? You have to be honest. I'm saying 53:55this for everybody, not just that 53:56brother, everybody here. And that's how 53:58you step out of the mindset of I'm right 54:00and I'm good and I'm great and 54:02everything I feel is correct because 54:04it's not. You've been lied to that your 54:06feelings are valid. Feelings are 54:08invalid. They're BS. They're bull crap.54:11Straight up. Completely wrong, actually.54:14And nine times out of 10, they're wrong.54:16Sometimes they're right sometimes. But 54:19majority net positive, right? Negative.54:22It's a negative. No, it's not 54:23progressive. If it's not that, then this 54:25is where you have to unlearn what you 54:26were taught. There is no such thing as a 54:28progressive sanctification.54:30Sanctification is now. It says you are 54:33sanctified. You are holy. You are 54:35righteous now. Hebrews 10:10 talks about 54:38this. Read it carefully with me. And 54:40every miracle that Jesus did, he did it 54:42right away. Rise, take up thy bed, and 54:44walk. The guy walked water into wine 54:46immediately. He wasn't like, "Hey, hold 54:47on real quick. Let me give it some 54:49time." It just God is when he works,54:51it's swift. But people have been taught 54:54by feelings that oh it's not coming to 54:56me right now. That's the issue. That's 54:59what I'm addressing here. So look by the 55:01which will God's will. We are sanctified 55:04past tense already done through the 55:06offering of the body of Jesus Christ 55:07once for all only one time and all of us 55:09are sanctified. That's what it means. So 55:12are you sanctified or not? Jude 1:1 55:15talks about this. Right? Positionally 55:18you are sanctified. Jude the servant of 55:20Jesus Christ and the brother of James.55:22to them that are sanctified. If there if 55:24it's a progressional thing, why is it 55:25saying that it's why is he saying 55:27sanctified? It should be to them that 55:29are being sanctified by God the father 55:31and preserved in Jesus Christ are 55:33called. So again, sanctification is only 55:36because you trust yourself and you don't 55:39think you've changed. And because you 55:41don't think you've changed, then that 55:43becomes your law. That becomes what it 55:45is. It's the same thing with sin, guys.55:48Think about it. Think about it. Okay?55:50Okay. And I'll finish here. Sin. Is 55:53there sin in this world? Yes. Brandy,55:56Fay, Mickey's. Yes. Right. Too much. F.56:00Yes. Night Boaz. Yes. Everywhere. Yes.56:02See, you guys don't know the scripture.56:04I'm sorry to say. Let me explain. Isaiah 56:0753:6.56:09Read Isaiah 53:6. And then load up John 56:11129. Watch. Watch. And then uh load up 56:15John 9:40-42,56:17too. Don't don't don't post it yet.56:20Okay, so read it carefully here. Don't 56:22post John 9 yet. Okay, watch watch this 56:24guys. All we like sheep have gone 56:26astray. So everyone has gone astray. God 56:28knows this. He recorded this through 56:29Isaiah Yahwasha, right? And he says we 56:32have turned everyone to his own way. All 56:35of us have went our own way. And the 56:37Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us 56:39all. Wait a minute. Let's get this 56:41straight. Isaiah is 800 years before 56:44Jesus Christ. The way that God speaks 56:46though is he works in real time. Look,56:48and the Lord has laid on him. Wait a 56:51minute. If it's 800 years before it 56:53should say, "And the Lord is going to 56:56lay." That's why sanctification is not a 56:58is not a process. When God works, he 57:00works once for all. He's not in the 57:02realm of time, brothers and sisters,57:03like me and you. Okay? So, look. And the 57:06Lord has laid already put on him,57:10understand? Put on him the iniquity of 57:12us all of our sins. Now, look, watch 57:14this. John 1:29 The next day John seeth 57:18Jesus coming unto him and saith, Behold 57:21the lamb of God which taketh away the 57:23sin of the world. Sin is singular,57:25notice, not plural because there's only 57:27one sin that separates you, the sin of 57:29unbelief, which is blasphemy against the 57:31Holy Spirit. So he he he's very 57:33meticulous in these little things that 57:34you guys miss. But he's saying he took 57:37the sin onto Jesus and he died on the 57:39cross and there's no more in the world.57:42That's what the Bible says. But why then 57:45do you guys say that there's sin?57:47Because of John 9 verse 40 to42. Read it 57:51carefully here. And some of the 57:53Pharisees which were with him heard 57:54these words and said unto him, "Are we 57:55blind also?" 41. Read it carefully.57:59Jesus said unto them, "If you were 58:01blind, you would have no sin." Meaning 58:03what? Why does he say blind? He says,58:06"If you were blind, you would have no 58:08sin. You wouldn't see your sin. But now 58:10you say we see. Therefore sin remainth.58:14My God, because of 2 Corinthians 5:7.58:18Read it. Read 2 Corinthians 5:7 for me.58:21We walk by faith, not by sight. These 58:24Pharisees, what did they do? Sin is 58:26gone. Are you stupid, John? Are you 58:28stupid, Jesus? There's sin everywhere,58:29you idiot. There's kids getting 58:31murdered. There's this, this, and that.58:32And then he goes, "Oh, really? So,58:34because you say that, it remains." But 58:36see, we we don't walk by fa by sight. We 58:38walk by faith. Do you understand now 58:41brothers and sisters? So is there sin in 58:43this world? No. Cuz Jesus didn't fail.58:46But the problem is many people believe 58:47there are. That's why they perpetuate 58:49that lifestyle. Because what you believe 58:52shapes your reality. Do you understand?58:54When I believe that I was a gang member,58:56how did I act like a gang member? Do you 58:59understand now? Make sense? I'm a gang 59:02member. I'm a gang member. I'm a gang 59:03member. I'm a gang member. Then what?59:05I'm a gang. I'm a gang member. I'm a 59:07only fans model. I'm a only fans model.59:08Then you're going to sleep around with 59:10people and make only fans content. No.59:12No. I'm righteous. I'm holy. I'm 59:14sanctified. I'm justified. Then you're 59:15going to act like that. Do you 59:17understand? Now, what you believe and 59:20what you see is going to shape your 59:23reality. Understand? I'm sorry. I'm 59:26going to get a little frustrated,59:27Mickey. I'm sorry, bro. Stop trying to 59:30make things fit your brain respectfully.59:33Right. Look. Look. Watch the heart 59:34behind it. So would it be biblical to 59:37say sanctifi? Number one, you're not 59:38biblical. Stop saying that. Stop being a 59:42good person. Okay? Number one, that's 59:43what I'm teaching here. To say 59:45sanctification may seem progressive 59:47because we choose to trust our thoughts,59:49but it is in fact that we are 59:50sanctified, right? Stop.59:54Make sense? Just stop all of that.59:56You're trying to underneath it all,59:58although it seems like a correct thing.1:00:00What is your heart posture? You're 1:00:02trying to figure it out. If you're 1:00:05trying to figure it out, you don't have 1:00:06faith. You're trying to be biblical.1:00:09That's the issue here. Amen. But you're 1:00:12not going to be freed from it. Exactly.1:00:14Because of analysis paralysis, you're 1:00:16going to keep analyzing and 1:00:17overanalyzing. And what that's going to 1:00:20do is you're going to come against 1:00:21everybody who doesn't go against your 1:00:23analysis. I understand you're seeking 1:00:26clarity. Trust me. But your issue is 1:00:29you're creating more confusion for 1:00:30yourself. You're not seeking clarity.1:00:33You're you're confusing everything.1:00:36You're trying to be like, "Let me make 1:00:38it make sense to the way you say it and 1:00:41then I'll believe it." But it's clear as 1:00:44day what I'm saying, brother. It's 1:00:46clear. I showed you scripture. I showed 1:00:49you analogies and all you care about is 1:00:53how does that make sense to my brain so 1:00:55that I can clear it up in my head so 1:00:58that I don't have to sit there. But do 1:01:00you know why Mickey you struggle? It's 1:01:02not even that you don't have faith. You 1:01:04have too much faith. You have too much 1:01:06faith in yourself. You're too good.1:01:10That's the problem. So in your head, you 1:01:12think you can rack your brain to go,1:01:14"This will make sense to me if I put my 1:01:16mind to it." That's the problem. And 1:01:18many of us struggle with this here.1:01:20Understand what I'm saying? God says,1:01:22"You know nothing." But we don't believe 1:01:25that. We probably think, "Well, God gave 1:01:27me this brain to think." We never listen 1:01:30to God's word. Understand what I'm 1:01:32saying? Every one of us struggles with 1:01:34this in some kind of degree. You guys 1:01:37understand what I'm saying? Without me,1:01:38you cannot do anything. That means 1:01:40without me, you are nothing. That's what 1:01:42he's saying. But people don't believe 1:01:44this. What do they believe? No, I have a 1:01:47brain from God. I'm made in the image of 1:01:49God. How many of you guys believe this?1:01:51And how many of you guys heard this?1:01:52You're made in the image of God. You 1:01:54are, right? But remember what Johnny 1:01:57does and what he does really well is he 1:02:00puts things in perspective and context.1:02:03So all of you guys are made are made in 1:02:06God's image. Amen. Amen. Right. Yes.1:02:09Right. Until when though? So he created 1:02:11us in Genesis chapter 2 and then in 1:02:14chapter in Genesis chapter three we 1:02:17fell. So can I ask you something? Should 1:02:19we clap it up that we were made in God 1:02:21God's image for one day? Let's clap it 1:02:24up, guys. Woohoo. Made in God's image.1:02:28And then after John 8:44 tells us 1:02:30something a little bit different. No.1:02:32No. Look at John 8:44. You are of your 1:02:34father, the devil. Wait, what? No, I'm 1:02:36not. I rebuke that in Jesus' name. You 1:02:38are of your father the devil. The lust 1:02:39of your father, you will do. He was a 1:02:41murderer from the beginning and abode 1:02:42not in the truth because there is no 1:02:44truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he 1:02:46speaketh of his own. For his for he is a 1:02:48liar and the father of it. So if he's 1:02:50the father of lies. And then Romans 3:4,1:02:53it says, let's look at it because of 1:02:57course he's speaking to the Pharisees 1:02:58here. But let me show you context though 1:03:00because that's what we do here. God 1:03:02forbid. Yeah. Let God be true, but every 1:03:05man a liar. Wait, let's get this 1:03:07straight. Let's get this straight. Every 1:03:10means what, guys? All, some, a few,1:03:13non-believers, or everybody. All. Amen.1:03:17So let God be true and every man a liar.1:03:22Now it makes sense. Why? This is to 1:03:25humble us. Think about it. Just think 1:03:27about it. If God is sitting here and 1:03:29he's the only truth, then everybody else 1:03:31has to be a liar. Amen. Number two, if 1:03:35every man is a liar and the father of 1:03:38all lies is Satan, then it makes sense 1:03:40that afterwards we became liars. Why 1:03:45though? Can I explain to you guys how we 1:03:47became the children of Satan? Did Satan 1:03:49birth us? Let me explain to you guys 1:03:51why. Okay, let me explain. Much deeper 1:03:54than what Kieran is saying. You're 1:03:57you're acting like how I am when when I 1:04:00was when I seen the little worm. I was 1:04:02like worm. I was like, Jeremy worm. Cuz 1:04:06I saw a little worm on the floor and it 1:04:08reminded me, you know, that I was worm.1:04:11And I'm like, worm. And Jeremy's like,1:04:13yeah, Johnny worm.1:04:15Okay, weirdo, right? [clears throat]1:04:18Understand? You're like, "Adam, yes, I 1:04:20know, Adam. I get it. I I I understand."1:04:23Yes. But let's go deeper than that.1:04:26Let's go deeper than that. Let me 1:04:27explain. Let me explain to you guys. How 1:04:30did we become the children of God? How 1:04:33did Adam and Eve become the children of 1:04:35God? Let's think about it. I don't know.1:04:38Jesus. What is Jesus called? The word.1:04:42So when we sit here and we be how do we 1:04:45become the children of God? Very simple.1:04:47What is what do si children come from?1:04:50Like how do you have a baby men? How do 1:04:52you have a baby? Through the seed. The 1:04:53sperm. What do we call the word of God?1:04:57The seed. Understand now? Now right not 1:05:00just the seed to bear fruit but the seed 1:05:03in terms of like sperm. You guys got 1:05:05this right? Okay. So how do I become 1:05:07God's child? by accepting his seed which 1:05:09is his word Jesus Christ but also his 1:05:12word understand now right that's why 1:05:13we're dirt he made us out of dirt to 1:05:15accept his seed but in the same way just 1:05:19like a seed can produce if it if the 1:05:21dirt accepts the mango seed then that 1:05:24dirt plants mango trees right but if the 1:05:28dirt accepts weeds as seed then it will 1:05:31produce weeds too in the same way when 1:05:34did we accept Satan's seed through Eve,1:05:38that's when we became the children of 1:05:40God. Uh the children of Satan.1:05:42Understand now? But God forbid you tell 1:05:44a legalistic good person this. Oh my 1:05:48god.1:05:50I am not a child of I am not a child of 1:05:52say you know you know you don't. They 1:05:55will literally kill you. That's why they 1:05:57call me a I am not a child of God. One 1:05:59star Yelp review Johnny Chang. I rebuke 1:06:01that in Jesus name. No I am not. They 1:06:03will flip without understanding context 1:06:06of what I'm saying. Now you guys are the 1:06:08children of God now though. Why? Why?1:06:12Because you accepted the gospel.1:06:14Amen. You understand now, right? So 1:06:18don't freak out. I'm going to leave this 1:06:20main stage and say, "Oh my gosh, this 1:06:21guy called me Satan." No, I'm not saying 1:06:23that, okay? I'm saying now you are. But 1:06:26I have to explain the humility behind 1:06:28it. I'm not telling you guys that you're 1:06:30Satan right off bat. I'm saying you're 1:06:32born that way. And if you don't believe 1:06:34in Jesus Christ, then you are the child 1:06:35of se the seed of Satan. That's why they 1:06:37burn. You understand now, right?1:06:40Accepting his word is accepting his 1:06:41seed. Becoming a Christian is accepting 1:06:44his seed. It's not saying I'm a sinner,1:06:47accepting Satan's seed, and then but I 1:06:49follow Jesus. What are you talking about 1:06:50right now? Do you guys understand? Amen.1:06:54People don't realize these things,1:06:56right? That's what we have to focus on,1:06:58brothers and sisters. Accepting the 1:07:00seed. Amen. Right, guys? There's so many 1:07:03unlocks I can give you guys, but if you 1:07:05don't accept the seed, you'll just be in 1:07:07here for the unlocks. You want me to 1:07:09show you how Jesus was made was actually 1:07:12God? Very simple. When he spat on the 1:07:15ground and put mud, dirt, a onto the 1:07:19person's eyes, you know what is 1:07:22something that God can do? God is a 1:07:24judge, but what else is he a do? A 1:07:26redeemer. What else is is he a creator?1:07:28Do you know what he what Jesus was 1:07:30doing? He was creating a new pair of 1:07:32eyes for him because he created us out 1:07:34of dirt. Why did he use dirt with his 1:07:38breath and his spit? Understand the 1:07:42little things you guys miss. I can teach 1:07:44you a lot. But the issue here is when we 1:07:48think I know what I know. You won't even 1:07:50listen to this. Do you understand 1:07:52brothers and sisters? I know you guys 1:07:53like stuff like this. I can do this. But 1:07:56the problem is I need surrender before 1:07:58knowledge because otherwise if you don't 1:08:00surrender I'll give you knowledge and 1:08:02you'll be puffed and you'll be like well 1:08:04Johnny I also learned this and I'm I 1:08:06have holy spirit too and I'm better than 1:08:08it becomes this literally so you guys 1:08:12understand now right with a simple 1:08:14understanding of that I can prove to you 1:08:16that Jesus is God he was proving it 1:08:17himself he can create life too because 1:08:20God is a creator and he literally 1:08:23created new eyes for this person for him 1:08:26to see. That's what it comes down to at 1:08:28the end of the day. Do you understand?1:08:30Make sense? If you still doubt, you know 1:08:32you're not surrendered. That's the 1:08:33That's the whole thing, right? Like 1:08:35Kieran only talking about his own heart.1:08:38[snorts] Understand? That's how you know 1:08:40you're not surrendered. Bar after bar 1:08:42after bar. So, here's the thing. I 1:08:43struggle with weed sometimes and I've 1:08:45reminded myself of the gospel and 1:08:46there's an unfruitful heart. Like, it's 1:08:47like, bro, it's because you're good.1:08:49Anybody else here who can't surrender is 1:08:51because you're good. Listen to me 1:08:52carefully. You think you're all that.1:08:55Don't sit there and Yeah, you may 1:08:57chastise yourself. You may sit there and 1:08:58feel sad. But the truth is in your 1:09:01heart, you think you're all that. I 1:09:04don't I don't know who's going to tell 1:09:05you this, but I'm going to tell you 1:09:06this. You think you're all that. Who 1:09:08cares if you struggle with weed? Is weed 1:09:10a problem to God? No. Who cares if you 1:09:12struggle with X, Y, and Z? Is that a 1:09:14problem to God? No. It's just a problem 1:09:16to you. And because you're good, that's 1:09:19why you have to take care of it. You're 1:09:21not letting God take care of it. Sheesh.1:09:23Have you ever thought about it from that 1:09:24perspective? Have you ever thought about 1:09:26that? When the Holy Spirit flows and it 1:09:30strikes you in your heart and you're 1:09:31still like the one, Adam, understand?1:09:35Have you ever thought about that? It's 1:09:37because you're too good. That's what it 1:09:39is. You're not bad. Bad people accept 1:09:42the word of God easily. Good people who 1:09:45act like they're bad. I am nothing. I 1:09:47struggle. I suck. inside what your real 1:09:49heart is. I can overcome this by myself 1:09:51because I'm a child of God and I'm a 1:09:53good person. That's what you're actually 1:09:56saying. I'm a child of God and I 1:09:58shouldn't be doing this. I'm a good 1:09:59person. I'm a good I can do this. I'm a 1:10:01child of God. I should stop this. What's 1:10:03wrong with me? I'm so good. I'm so 1:10:05great. No, you're perpetuating Satan.1:10:08Actually, do you understand? Do you guys 1:10:12understand this? How deep this is? Do 1:10:14you understand how deep what I'm 1:10:15teaching here? On a simple level, but a 1:10:17very deep level and simplistic level.1:10:19Guys, you are not in the wrong place.1:10:21God has not misled you. He's putting you 1:10:24in this place for you to just surrender.1:10:27You don't know how. And I'm teaching you 1:10:28how. And you're still not trying to do 1:10:30it. And that right there is why I have 1:10:33to pray for you. And that's right there 1:10:35is why you have to go to God, too. Do 1:10:37you understand, brothers and sisters?1:10:38Yeah, I'm not perfect, but the one thing 1:10:40I know is heart posture. I'm serious.1:10:42I'll read you like a book. I'm sorry to 1:10:45say because I read the book that knows 1:10:47about you and talks about you and talks 1:10:49about me. You can do whatever you say 1:10:52and whatever you want and you can act 1:10:53all night and high and mighty and sad 1:10:55and all, but at the end of the day, the 1:10:58heart is going to leak what it's going 1:10:59to leak. Understand? Amen. And I won't 1:11:02weaponize it against you ever. So don't 1:11:04be afraid. Right? I just know what the 1:11:07antidote is. The issue is you guys don't 1:11:09want to accept it because you're too 1:11:11good. Understand what I'm saying? You're 1:11:14too good. That's the problem, brothers 1:11:17and sisters. Your issue is not that you 1:11:19don't have faith. You have too much 1:11:21faith. Too much faith in the opposite 1:11:23direction, which is yourself. You have 1:11:25inward faith and trust yourself. You 1:11:27don't have outward faith towards God.1:11:29You don't push it towards God. You think 1:11:31you can solve everything. Deep down.1:11:33That's why you struggle because you 1:11:36actually think through the Holy Spirit 1:11:37you should be overcoming these things.1:11:39But that's not true, brothers and 1:11:41sisters. If that was true, it would have 1:11:43been overcame and you would have idol 1:11:45worshiped yourself and you would have 1:11:47been like the Pharisees. You better be 1:11:48thankful that you struggle. You know 1:11:50why? Because if you didn't struggle, oh 1:11:52my god, would you come against me? Oh my 1:11:56goodness. Would you sit there and say,1:11:58"I hate you, Johnny. You over here 1:12:00telling people to do good, bro. I 1:12:01overcame lust. What the hell you talking 1:12:03about? Huh? Is he a leader? He doesn't 1:12:05even overcome these things. Huh? You 1:12:07would be this. Understand? I'm so 1:12:10thankful God does not allow you to 1:12:12overcome the things that you over that 1:12:13that you know you want to overcome 1:12:16because what happens is then you become 1:12:17your own God and you think you're all 1:12:19that and then you just slap a label of 1:12:20religiosity over it. I love Jesus. You 1:12:23become a Jesus admirer instead of a 1:12:25Jesus follower and and you become 1:12:27codependent but only dependent on 1:12:30yourself. You don't depend on God.1:12:33Understand? That happens all the time.1:12:36Make sense? So, you better be thankful.1:12:38That's why in 2 Corinthians 12 verse 9,1:12:4110, and 11. What does Paul say?1:12:45Therefore, I boast in my iniquities.1:12:47Wait, what? You're a weirdo, bro. You 1:12:50are happy that you're sinning. What? No 1:12:53wonder people call him a hereticos, a 1:12:56heretic. No, read it. And he said unto 1:12:58me, "My grace is sufficient for thee,1:13:00for my strength is made perfect in 1:13:01weakness." All of you are weak. So 1:13:03that's why he made you perfect.1:13:04Understand? Most gladly, therefore, will 1:13:07I rather glory in my infirmities. Wait,1:13:10what? I rather glory in my infirmities.1:13:12Bro, walked around like I goon every 1:13:14day. Is really that's crazy. That the 1:13:16power of Christ may rest upon me.1:13:19Therefore, I take pleasures in my 1:13:21pleasure. Take pleasure is a crazy 1:13:23strong word. I take pleasure in 1:13:25infirmities, in reproaches, in 1:13:27necessities, in persecutions, and 1:13:28distresses for Christ's sake. For when I 1:13:30am weak, then I am am I strong. I become 1:13:32a fool in glorying. You have compelled 1:13:35me. For I ought to have been commanded 1:13:38of you. For in nothing am I behind the 1:13:41very chieftest apostles, though I be 1:13:42nothing. I'm all that, and yet I'm 1:13:45nothing. I suck. And I'm going to boast 1:13:48how much I suck. I'm going to keep it 1:13:51real. Now, how many of you guys follow 1:13:52because I'm like that? I keep the same 1:13:54energy. Yeah, I struggle with this,1:13:56this, and this. So what? And you do,1:13:58too. What's the problem? What's the 1:14:01issue? The issue is you've been taught 1:14:04legalistically.1:14:05You've been taught that you're a good 1:14:07person. Even though you suck and you're 1:14:08not a good person, you still struggle 1:14:11and you fail. So where the hell are you 1:14:13drawing your good person from? Nothing.1:14:16Do you understand? I'm a good person.1:14:18I'm going to try. But have you have you 1:14:20succeeded? No. Then why the hell do you 1:14:22still trust in yourself? Yeah, you're 1:14:24right. W [laughter]1:14:26chocolate. I like chocolates. Right.1:14:29They're literally those people. So, you 1:14:32you think you're a good person, but you 1:14:33didn't even prove to yourself you're a 1:14:34good person, but you still trust that 1:14:36you're a good person. What kind of ass 1:14:38backwardsish is that? Respectfully, I 1:14:41trust that I'm a good person, but I did 1:14:44never really did anything good, but I 1:14:45still think I'm a good person. What in 1:14:47the You understand what I'm saying?1:14:49Booty backwards. Legit, it's backwards.1:14:53It's like, what? What? You're peeing in 1:14:56the wind. You know what that means?1:14:57You're peeing on yourself, right?1:14:59Pissing in the wind. Understand? Like,1:15:02what? What are you saying? I'm so good.1:15:04I But I have to try harder, right? But 1:15:06have you actually received anything? No,1:15:09but I still have to try. Interesting.1:15:12How about you stop trying and you start 1:15:14letting God try for you? How about that?1:15:17Do you understand, brothers and sisters?1:15:19And when people hear this, they're like,1:15:20"Oh, holy, it's not Holy Spirit. It's 1:15:22the unholy spirit. He's prideful."

Sign up with your 1:15:59email using the link in the description.1:16:01My hope is to help you guys grow with 1:16:03your spiritual life each and every day.1:16:06I don't trust that I'm good. I feel like 1:16:07my brain is going crazy having to 1:16:08unlearn the legalistic mindset. Right?1:16:10That's why you're good. That's what I'm 1:16:12saying.1:16:13You're really good, sis. You don't think 1:16:15you are because you haven't gone past 1:16:17the surface level of your thoughts, but 1:16:19go deep inside of your heart. How come 1:16:20you guys don't ask me to get to Mars?1:16:23How come anyone no one has ever asked 1:16:24me, "Hey, Johnny Chang, how do I go to 1:16:26Mars?" Because you know you can't do it.1:16:28But why do you ask other people to 1:16:31overcome this mindset? Why? Because you 1:16:34actually think you can. Only good people 1:16:36think they can do anything. Do you 1:16:39understand, brothers and sisters? You 1:16:41would never ask if you didn't think so.1:16:44Right? Same thing. I want to go to 1:16:45heaven because you think you can. People 1:16:47who know that they can't go to heaven go 1:16:49to heaven. Why? Cuz they don't ask for 1:16:51it anymore. They accept humbly and 1:16:54humility that they will never get to 1:16:55heaven and then God gives it to them. Do 1:16:58you understand? Are you guys following 1:17:00me here? Because if you could get to 1:17:03heaven and you listen to that, then you 1:17:05would get yourself to heaven. Duh. But 1:17:07the ones who know they can't, like me,1:17:09and knew I was going to burn. Then 1:17:11Hebrews 10:14 came to my life. Hebrews 1:17:1310:17 came to my life. I started to be 1:17:16so happy. Wait, I could get to heaven?1:17:18No freaking way. I Me, a person who put 1:17:22somebody in a wheelchair, me who done 1:17:24blasted at people and and stabbed people 1:17:26and did all me. I could get to heaven 1:17:28and God says he doesn't remember my sins 1:17:29anymore. Oh, bet. I'm going to de devote 1:17:31my whole life to this. And that's what 1:17:33happened. Do you understand? Versus 1:17:36what? Hey guys, I've been a pastor. I've 1:17:38learned so much. I felt the presence of 1:17:40God so good. I love him so much. Yeah, I 1:17:44kept the commandments. I grew up Roman 1:17:45Catholic. I know the the all this stuff.1:17:48How do I get to heaven? Wait, you said 1:17:50I'm nothing? No, I I know I'm nothing.1:17:52I'm so bad. I'm so evil. But how do I 1:17:53get to heaven? Oh, but do evil people 1:17:56get to heaven? No. No. But I'm forgiven.1:17:59Exactly. So, you think you're good? Do 1:18:01you understand now, brothers and 1:18:02sisters? I'm so evil. I don't get to 1:18:05heaven. But how do I get there? You 1:18:06don't. You're saying you're evil, but 1:18:08your heart is far from God. You think 1:18:10you deserve heaven. All of y'all think 1:18:13you deserve heaven. But let me tell you 1:18:15something. There's only one thing that 1:18:17we deserve. Hell. That's why we die. You 1:18:19don't get a family. You don't get kids.1:18:21And if you have that, you receive grace 1:18:23to have that. You don't get happiness 1:18:25and a nice penthouse and a nice, you 1:18:27know, place and, you know, a nice house 1:18:29or whatever. Understand what you what 1:18:32what everyone is in a hundred years.1:18:34none of us are going to be here. Just so 1:18:36you know, in a hundred years, none of us 1:18:39are. You know why? Cuz we're going to 1:18:40die. And that's what God gave us. He 1:18:43said, "That's what you deserve." If you 1:18:45just acknowledge that, then you'll be 1:18:47thankful that you have a big brain.1:18:49You'll be thankful that you struggle 1:18:52because God gave you life. And the life 1:18:54that you live right now is what God 1:18:56wants you to have. To realize that you 1:18:59don't deserve anything, but God gave you 1:19:01everything. That produces 1:19:04that produces love, brothers and 1:19:06sisters. Understand? That produces love.1:19:10So, I hope you guys can really really 1:19:12understand that these mainstages are 1:19:14different. They're always going to push 1:19:17into these kind of heart posture things.1:19:20So, yeah, when people say Johnny's 1:19:21different on mainstage than he is on 1:19:23live, very true. And he's different on 1:19:25podcast. Yes. Because this is me not in 1:19:28heart gaining mode. I'm always in heart 1:19:30gaining mode when I'm out because people 1:19:32don't they can't I don't have time to 1:19:33talk to them like this. Do you 1:19:35understand? So yes, I will act 1:19:37different. But because I'm out of heart 1:19:39gaining mode for you guys, I want you 1:19:40guys I'm I'm here in heart exposing 1:19:42mode. Do you understand what I'm saying?1:19:44I'm exposing my own heart too, guys. I 1:19:47struggle with the same thing in my 1:19:48heart, too. There's times where I forget 1:19:50even now I'm teaching you guys this. I 1:19:52forget that I'm a person who also needs 1:19:54to listen to what I'm saying, too. How's 1:19:56that for humility, right? Genuinely, I'm 1:19:59a person who also forgets what I say,1:20:01too. Why? Because we're human. We're 1:20:04human. That's why I told you guys it's 1:20:06okay. But you notice how I'm saying this 1:20:09and it frees you guys because I'm 1:20:11fighting for you guys. I'm not fighting 1:20:13with you guys. I'm not saying you're 1:20:14stupid. I'm saying we're all stupid.1:20:16[laughter]1:20:17Right? Understand? Some of you guys are 1:20:20like, "Hey, what the hell?" I'm saying 1:20:23we're all dumb. Okay? We're all dumb.1:20:26It's okay. We all struggle. It's okay.1:20:30Now, go to a church and hear that. No 1:20:33one's going to tell you that. We gotta 1:20:34fight for the Lord. Uh we got to do 1:20:37that. We got to say kamini. We here I am 1:20:40God. It's like oh my god. Shut your 1:20:43face. Here I am God. In the morning 1:20:46they're clicking on no no no websites 1:20:48watching big booty porn or whatever it 1:20:49is that they're doing. Do you understand 1:20:51what I'm saying? Right.

You You're Cuz you're 1:21:08not in that past pastoral zeitgeist. You 1:21:10don't know that. That they'll sit there 1:21:12and they'll be like, "Man, if I wasn't 1:21:14married, if I wasn't married, if I 1:21:16wasn't married." And they'll share that 1:21:18with me because they're Herman, as the 1:21:22Memphis people say. I'm from I'm from 1:21:23Memphis, right? Like Tinker Bell. I'm 1:21:25from Memphis. is a hermit, right?1:21:26They're human. You understand what I'm 1:21:29saying? And so what? That's what they So 1:21:32should I sit there and go, "Nope, you 1:21:33shouldn't be doing that." No. Hey. Hey,1:21:35brother. You know, if I did that to 1:21:37them, they would they would piss me.1:21:38They would get pissed at me. Yeah,1:21:40they're doing that. Y'all don't y'all 1:21:42don't even know. I know some real 1:21:44gangster pastors who who I knew from the 1:21:47past who became pastors. People I was 1:21:49locked up with that became pastors. And 1:21:51they preach hella works. And I'm like,1:21:54"Bro, you do know that I remember you,1:21:56dog. I remember the things that you said 1:21:58when you're telling people, "Hey, you 1:22:00should not be cheating on your wife."1:22:02Bro, you cheat on your wife like 20 1:22:03times. What you talking about? Do you 1:22:06understand what I'm saying? They preach 1:22:08this kind of message that they don't 1:22:10even live by. All of us do this in some 1:22:12type of way. Now, I'm not saying I'm 1:22:14better than them. I do the same. Right?1:22:17If you guys open up my brain and how 1:22:19many times I sit there and go, "This 1:22:20guy's a freaking idiot, man.1:22:23There's times where I even think like 1:22:24this, right? I'm going to keep it real 1:22:25with y'all, man. God, why don't you just 1:22:27strike this fool down? Honestly, look at 1:22:29this freaking Pharisee. He's a freaking 1:22:31Pharisee. Just Why? Why? Why do you even 1:22:33like breathe up all of the the air of 1:22:35grace? Like, why don't you just strike 1:22:37him down? Y'all don't know that? You 1:22:39don't know? Pastor has said that stuff,1:22:41too. Man, this guy needs to go to hell,1:22:43dude. Like, legit, he needs to go to 1:22:44hell. But just let him go to hell for 1:22:46like 10 years. Like, put him in a prison 1:22:47at 10 and then have him come back and 1:22:49and see if he's such a good person. My 1:22:51own pastor says that so I should stop 1:22:54following him, right? Oh, you guys don't 1:22:56have the heart of God. You don't have 1:22:57the heart of God. None of us do. And 1:23:00that's why God is clear about these 1:23:03things. Understand that it's okay. We're 1:23:06all the same. We're not better. Some of 1:23:08y'all clicked on no websites before you 1:23:10jumped on Mainstage. Some of y'all watch 1:23:12porn as you're on the main stage. And 1:23:14honestly, you should repent. But at the 1:23:18same time, at the same time, genuinely,1:23:21God accepts you for who you are. You 1:23:23should go to God. Understand? You have 1:23:26to realize I shouldn't trust myself. I 1:23:28shouldn't follow myself. Amen. I know 1:23:31some of you guys are rolling up a blunt 1:23:33to to the main stage. Oh, Johnny's voice 1:23:36is so soothing. Started lighting up. I'm 1:23:38like, "Oh my gosh, dude. God said every 1:23:42herb yielding seed. [snorts]1:23:45Every herb yielding seed, Johnny. Okay.1:23:47Okay. I don't smoke it, but he said it's 1:23:50good for meat so we can eat it, right?1:23:51Edibles. Come on. Come on. Edible. I'm 1:23:53like, bro, just smoke the freaking 1:23:55blunt, bro. And just come into the main 1:23:57stage and listen to what I'm saying. My 1:23:59goodness. Stop trying to find loopholes,1:24:01man. Understand? Y'all understand,1:24:04right? Right, guys? People are just 1:24:07they're so we're so infatuated with 1:24:09being good, but we don't realize that we 1:24:12should just be real. We all struggle,1:24:15guys. I struggle with what I struggle 1:24:16with. You struggle with what you 1:24:18struggle with. Okay? But because of that 1:24:20struggle, that's why we have to go to 1:24:23God. That's what I'm saying. That's why 1:24:25God is close to you. That's why you have 1:24:28that thorn on your side. Nobody's 1:24:30preaching this. What are people 1:24:32preaching? And fight for the Lord. And 1:24:35we will say yes, God, because he is not 1:24:37done with you. You have to be great. You 1:24:41have to love God by faith and by glory 1:24:45and by hum humility and by you 1:24:48understand. And I'm over here like I got 1:24:50to leave because I don't have any of 1:24:52those things.1:24:54I don't have any of those things.1:24:56Respectfully, I'm not humble. I'm a 1:24:58killer. I'm evil. Genuinely, if you knew 1:25:02what was in my brain, you would be 1:25:03likeito.1:25:05This guy for sure needs God. He I think 1:25:07he's I think he's Satan himself. I think 1:25:10Johnny is Satan himself. Like legit, you 1:25:13guys know how many nasty thoughts you 1:25:15guys have. I know how many nasty 1:25:17thoughts you guys have cuz we all have 1:25:18them. Do you understand? Right.1:25:21Genuinely, it's embarrassing. It is. The 1:25:24only difference is I'm under a 1:25:25microscope and you're not. [laughter]1:25:27But what you guys don't understand is 1:25:28we're all under the microscope of God.1:25:30But it's great that God has this 1:25:32spiritual amnesia where he says in 1:25:34Hebrews 10:17, "I don't remember your 1:25:35sins." Thank God he doesn't remember our 1:25:37sins. We need to remember our sins to to 1:25:39remain humble. But thank God he doesn't 1:25:41remember our sins. But right there, only 1:25:43good people will say, "Well, if he 1:25:45doesn't remember our sins, so then can 1:25:46we sin however we want?" Brothers and 1:25:49sisters, listen to me carefully. You sin 1:25:51however you want. Stop playing. What do 1:25:53you do? Go to Walmart and buy 37 sins 1:25:55for the day. You sin however you want.1:25:58Well, I is that a license to sin? Bro,1:26:00you are the license that sins. What are 1:26:02you talking about right now? Have you 1:26:04stopped sinning? Anyone who asked that 1:26:06question, you ask them, "Have you 1:26:07stopped sinning?" Well, well, I I I 1:26:10haven't, but I repented. Okay. And I 1:26:11have, too. So, what's the difference?1:26:13Well, I don't live in sin. Yes, you do.1:26:15You're a ball of sin. A nasty, ugly ball 1:26:18of sin. I don't care how much makeup you 1:26:20wear. I don't care how tall you are. I 1:26:22don't care if you have a chiseled 1:26:23jawline and high cheekbones. You're a 1:26:25ball of sin. Understand? Mr. Potato Head 1:26:29of sin. Amen. God wants us to realize,1:26:32oh, that's who we are. And that's why we 1:26:35need God. So are you guys sinners? No,1:26:37you're righteous. But if you forget and 1:26:40you think that you're righteous on your 1:26:41own accord, then you immediately become 1:26:43a sinner again. Why? Because you start 1:26:44to move like that. You start to shift 1:26:46into legalism again. That's why he he 1:26:49chastises people. Guys, when you look at 1:26:51the church of Galatia, church of 1:26:53Ephesus, right? Church of Corinth, what 1:26:56does he say, brothers and sisters? What 1:26:59does he say? He literally says, "Oh, you 1:27:02foolish Galatians, having begun in the 1:27:05spirit, are you now made perfect by the 1:27:07flesh?" He calls them stupid. He says,1:27:11"You're foolish. You're a fool. You 1:27:13could never be made perfect by your 1:27:15flesh. Are you dumb?" That's what he's 1:27:17saying. And yet, how many people want to 1:27:20be made perfect by their flesh? Okay, I 1:27:22want to stop doing this. I want to stop 1:27:24doing that. Listen to me carefully. If 1:27:26God wants you to stop it, he will stop 1:27:27it. Do you have faith in that or not?1:27:30And if you don't have faith in that,1:27:31then you will become your own god trying 1:27:33to solve those things living happy, sad,1:27:35up and down, sin, repent. You will sit 1:27:37there and question me. You will make 1:27:39loopholes so that you can feel like a 1:27:40sinner because this grace message is too 1:27:42overbearing for you. And then you will 1:27:44go against me. Do you understand? You 1:27:47will. You will. You will justify why you 1:27:50have a sinful lifestyle because it feels 1:27:52better for you rather. Listen me earlier 1:27:56trying to loophole. Exactly. Glad you 1:27:58realize that. Understand? We all try to 1:28:01do that. But shouldn't we do this? Of 1:28:03course we should. What the hell? I'm not 1:28:04telling you guys to go kill people. I'm 1:28:06not telling you guys to go and lust 1:28:08after, you know, women and men and all 1:28:09that. I'm just saying if you acknowledge 1:28:12that about yourself, then you leave it 1:28:13all up to God. I'm telling you to leave 1:28:15it up to God, not leave it up to 1:28:17yourself. Y'all understand what I'm 1:28:19saying, brothers and sisters? God is 1:28:22good. Amen. Amen. God is amazing. God is 1:28:28great genuinely. And we're here. We're 1:28:31weak. Who here thinks they're strong?1:28:34I'm going to tell you something. You 1:28:35might be, but you're not stronger than 1:28:37God. So, just be weak. It's okay.1:28:40Because when you are weak, what does it 1:28:42say? Then you are strong. Then you never 1:28:44judge anybody. I don't care. I'll work 1:28:47with anybody. Even if a Jehovah's 1:28:49Witness came up to me today and a Mormon 1:28:51came up to me and said, "Hey, we're 1:28:52having a Mormon rally. Can you come?"1:28:54Oh, I'm going. I'm going to go and I'm 1:28:56going to preach the gospel. If a 1:28:58Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox, Greek 1:29:00Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy comes and 1:29:02they ask me, "Can you come?" I'm coming.1:29:05What the hell? Why not? Why? Well, but 1:29:09they persecute you, Johnny, and all of 1:29:10them that talk about you not honoring 1:29:11the church fathers and this and this and 1:29:13that. I love the church fathers. I love 1:29:15everything about the church fathers.1:29:16They literally sat there and spoke about 1:29:18grace. They they really when you look at 1:29:20their stuff and they didn't all agree 1:29:21with everything. Polycarb didn't agree 1:29:23with some things that St. Augustine 1:29:25said, St. St. Ignatius and you know all 1:29:28these different people like not 1:29:29everything. And just like a lot of you 1:29:32guys don't agree with everything that I 1:29:33say, but we're still family under God.1:29:34What's the issue? You understand? Yes,1:29:37I'm saying what the hell. Crucify me,1:29:38please. OTJ, crucify me. Crucify me. I 1:29:42curse. Crucify me. Please. Please,1:29:46brother. You do the honors here. I'll 1:29:48give you the thing. I'll you know,1:29:49please. You should repent, brother.1:29:52because your your tongue is gives life 1:29:54and I I understand I understand right I 1:29:57understand get me guys stone me but 1:30:01understand one thing those who have who 1:30:03don't have sin cast the first stone only 1:30:06good people will leave and only good 1:30:08people crucify Jesus I'm telling you if 1:30:11you're good you will dip trust me 1:30:14because this is a room full of bad 1:30:16people who need Jesus badly 1:30:19sheesh put that on the 1:30:21We're the true baddies.1:30:24Amen. baddy gang. We're the true 1:30:27baddies. Amen. All right. We're the 1:30:30baddies that need We're really bad. And 1:30:33that's why we need God badly. Bad. Bad.1:30:36Bad. Good people. Yeah. No, you 1:30:38shouldn't be saying that, right? And all 1:30:39the other sins that you're committing,1:30:41you shouldn't be doing either. But I 1:30:42repent. Okay. Father God, please forgive 1:30:44me for saying that. I'm so I said, "Oh,1:30:46what the hell?" In Jesus name I pray.1:30:48Amen. Boom. Done. Now I'm clean. Right?1:30:52You see,1:30:54[snorts] I can be performative, too. We 1:30:56can all do that. Or we can be honest 1:30:58with each other and we can sit there and 1:31:00we can say, "Father God, I'm this way.1:31:03Please help me." Right guys, uplift each 1:31:06other. But good people, right, they have 1:31:08this mentality. I got to sharpen people.1:31:10Iron has to sharpen iron. How many times 1:31:12have you sharpened your own iron? How 1:31:14many times have you read the Bible? If 1:31:17you can sharpen your iron and read the 1:31:19Bible multiple times, then explain to me 1:31:21certain things. Amen. Right? Don't come 1:31:24in here with the legalistic mindset. You 1:31:25will get smoked because we're going to 1:31:27go verse by verse and I'm going to show 1:31:29you that it's all about grace with love.1:31:32It's all about mercy 1:31:35respectfully. And you're going to show 1:31:37me how great you are and how you kept 1:31:38the commandments when you didn't 1:31:40understand. And you're going to show me 1:31:41how much you failed. And then your anger 1:31:42is going to overtake you and you're 1:31:44going to hate me. But it's really 1:31:45because you didn't live up to your own 1:31:47unlivable standard. That's what most 1:31:50people do. We showed it yesterday. Do 1:31:52you know scripture? I do. Scripture says 1:31:54this. Where does it say that? It doesn't 1:31:56matter. You assume things. What the 1:31:58hell? Address the question at hand.1:32:00Understand? If y'all think you're good,1:32:03trust and believe one thing. Those are 1:32:05the worst people. Remember the woman 1:32:07caught in the act of adultery didn't 1:32:08crucify Jesus. Remember? Okay. The woman 1:32:12with six husbands, five which she she 1:32:15wanted. The sixth one she didn't even,1:32:17you know, he was like a side piece to 1:32:18her, which is horrible. She went and 1:32:20preached the gospel. Saul, who literally 1:32:23held the coats in Acts chapter 7 and the 1:32:25tunics, right, and the robes,1:32:28understand? Make sense? When they were 1:32:31stoning the Sanhedrin, Stefan, an 1:32:34apostle of God, disciple of God, then 1:32:37turns into Paul, writes 14 books of the 1:32:40epistles, preaches the gospel, teaches 1:32:42Luke, teaches Peter, teaches everybody,1:32:44not even part of the 12. He didn't 1:32:46crucify Jesus. Do you know who crucified 1:32:48him? God of Isaac, Abraham, and Jacob is 1:32:51my God. Why do you say that you forgive 1:32:54sins when only God can forgive sins? Why 1:32:57do you sit there, brother, and you don't 1:32:59sit in the synagogues and you sit with 1:33:01sinners? Hm. Why did you say, "What the 1:33:04hell? Why do you know who I am? I'm 1:33:08Caiaphas, the ruler. Do you know who my 1:33:10forefather is? They came out of Egypt."1:33:13You understand? Stupid Jesus Christ.1:33:16Understand? Who are you? Wait, didn't 1:33:20you just blow up on Instagram? aka,1:33:22didn't you just become, you know, the 1:33:25carpenter's son? Aren't you just Jesus?1:33:27Like, who are you, bro? Okay, calm down,1:33:30Jesus. You got a little bit of a 1:33:31following. Relax, bro. You need to study 1:33:33more. They even said that to him. He's 1:33:35unstudied. He's unfit. He has this 1:33:38bazobub in him. And yet, let me ask you 1:33:42something. Where did these people end 1:33:43up? They ended up in heaven, right?1:33:46Party.1:33:47Yeah. Third level of heaven, the 1:33:49firmament. Yeah. Party. Yeah, right.1:33:52They're screaming.1:33:55No, God, why we loved you? Haven't we 1:33:59casted out demons in your name? Haven't 1:34:01we? Yeah. Understand, guys? No, I'm 1:34:05serious. All you good people, be 1:34:07careful. Chincha in Korean, really be 1:34:10careful because it wasn't the evil 1:34:13people that stoned Jesus and killed him 1:34:15and crucified him and lashed him 39 1:34:18times and took him to Calvary and spat 1:34:21on him and backhanded him. It was the 1:34:24people who said, "I know God and I know 1:34:26God better than you. I I follow God 1:34:28better than you. I'm 1500 years before 1:34:31you. I study every day." Understand?1:34:36Stupid. Faith without grace. It has to 1:34:38be faith without works. You idiot. Work.1:34:42Understand? Yeah. Because they're 1:34:44demons. Be careful, brothers and 1:34:46sisters. Be careful.1:34:49As we say, because that legalism, bro,1:34:53that legalism,1:34:56it's dangerous. Genuinely, it's 1:34:58dangerous because legalism makes you in 1:35:02the driver's seat. Look at me. I 1:35:03donated. I fasted. I prayed. I tithed. I 1:35:06love God. Look at me. Look at me. I'm so 1:35:09amazing. They don't say that. But in 1:35:12their heart, I guarantee you, they 1:35:14scream that. Ain't that the truth? Oh,1:35:17you know you shouldn't be doing that.1:35:18Aka, I don't do that. So, be more like 1:35:20me and be more surrendered like me.1:35:22That's what they're saying. They're not 1:35:22trying to help you. They're stepping on 1:35:24you. Understand? I care about you,1:35:27brother. I love you. If you love me, you 1:35:29would lead me to Christ. You wouldn't 1:35:31lead me to shame and misery. You 1:35:33wouldn't condemn. You would convict.1:35:35Yes. But back to Jesus. Hey, it's okay,1:35:37bro, that you're like that. Let's go 1:35:38back to Jesus together. I'm here for 1:35:40you. What do you need? You see the heart 1:35:41is different. You see how the heart is 1:35:43different versus did he just curse,1:35:46brother? I rebuke that in Jesus' name,1:35:48man. You know, you should really watch 1:35:49your tongue, brother. Because that 1:35:51tongue right there is is there's power 1:35:53and right and death in that tongue,1:35:55brother. You got to be careful about 1:35:56that, okay? Just so you know. Oh, I'm so 1:35:59sorry. Oh, thank you so much for 1:36:00reminding me. Yeah, that's okay,1:36:01brother. That's what I'm here for, man.1:36:02I'm just that's not that's pride 1:36:04brothers and sisters. Rather, it should 1:36:06be you know what I struggled with a lot 1:36:08of things too and I believe God will 1:36:09help you with that and hey I'm here for 1:36:11you if you ever need me. You know I also 1:36:13cursed a lot and I also messed around 1:36:15and I also sinned and I still sin till 1:36:17this day but you know God loves you. I 1:36:20hope that you can understand the heart 1:36:22of God and that you don't have to curse.1:36:24You don't have to sin. You don't have to 1:36:26run to those things. God is here for you 1:36:28instead of did he just say what the 1:36:30hell? Stone them. Get them. Understand?1:36:35Make sense, brothers and sisters?1:36:37Amen.1:36:39And I'm so glad I'm so glad that God 1:36:42doesn't do that to us. Oh my gosh.1:36:44Imagine God says if you think about 1:36:46other people in a lustful way, you've 1:36:48already committed adultery. Sheesh.1:36:51Have any of you guys cheated before?1:36:54Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Not going to 1:36:56lie. Yes. Yes. Yes. Not going to lie.1:36:58Yes. In my heart. Yes. Yes. Yes, all of 1:37:01you guys have cheated. Let me explain to 1:37:04you why. Because God said if you lust,1:37:08so women, when you see that man on that 1:37:10when you see that man on on the TV or 1:37:12you see somebody, you know what I'm 1:37:14saying, at the gym and they got that 1:37:16Dorito body and the cheese grater abs,1:37:21right? And you're like, woo, he's fine.1:37:24You cheated for even 5 seconds. Is that 1:37:26okay? Ladies, would you be okay with 1:37:28your man kissing a girl for 5 seconds?1:37:31Oh, I'm sorry, babe. I'm sorry. I 1:37:32shouldn't have done that. Oh, it's okay,1:37:34honey. It's only 5 seconds. In that 5 1:37:36seconds, you would kill them.1:37:39Understand? 5 seconds, they'd be dead.1:37:42You only see red, right? So, stop. Stop 1:37:45playing. We all messed up. Amen,1:37:47brothers and sisters. That's the truth.1:37:50Amen.1:37:52Hallelujah.1:37:54All right, brothers and sisters. really 1:37:56appreciate you guys for listening. And 1:37:58I'm not saying you should sin however 1:37:59you want. I'm saying you should take 1:38:01your sins to God and that sin is only a 1:38:04problem for you. It's not a problem for 1:38:05God. I'm trying to let you guys 1:38:08understand that we all fall short of the 1:38:10glory of God, which is Romans 3:23. But 1:38:13God justifies us. He made us holy and 1:38:15righteous. And when you believe that 1:38:17you're truly a sinner and wicked, you 1:38:20don't compare horizontally anymore. You 1:38:22start to compare vertically. you start 1:38:24to realize, dang, I'm horrible and God 1:38:27still saved me. And that produces the 1:38:30love to then overcome all sins because 1:38:32you cannot cast out hate and sin by just 1:38:35doing better. You have to cast hate out 1:38:38with love. And that's how I was able to 1:38:40change, too. And that's what I'm trying 1:38:42to give you guys as the antidote. Amen.1:38:44Is to have that love inside of you that 1:38:47although you're the way that you are,1:38:48God still loves you. Why? Because of 1:38:50Lamentations 3:22-23.1:38:52You woke up this morning. It means he 1:38:54still has mercy on you. That he loves 1:38:55you. Even though you sinned yesterday 1:38:56and you sinned this morning, he gave you 1:38:58mercy. That's proof that God loves you.1:39:01Amen. Understand? Amen, brothers and 1:39:04sisters. Right. Amen. We answer the 1:39:06questions before you type it. That's why 1:39:07it's important to listen 1:39:10the Okay. Every day you have to listen 1:39:14better.1:39:16Okay, honey. You have to listen. My god,1:39:20man. All right, guys. That'such, right?1:39:24All right, guys. [clears throat] Take 1:39:25care. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye,1:39:28everybody. Peace.
