He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born of God

Transcript:

[00:00] Sabbath. It's another opportunity for us to hear and learn of the word of truth as given to us by the most high God. All honor [00:07] goes to the father through the son whose name is Yahushua. In him lies the only hope for salvation. We know that it is [00:13] obtained by grace through faith, not of works, lest anyone should boast and given freely as a gift to all who obey [00:19] him. We understand that if you do not obey him, it is made manifest or made obvious that you do not believe. In this [00:26] state, you should expect no good thing from the most high. However, anything that you do get, whether it be a gift of [00:32] tongues, a gift of prophecy, or any supernatural experience that you may have, it can and it will be used against [00:38] you in the day of judgment. That said, peace to the saints that are in the room, to the saints that couldn't make it, to the saints watching on the [00:44] camera, to the saints in the chat that are not in the chat yet. Oh, there we go. Saints in the chat, but no peace to [00:50] the wicked. The only thing we say to them is repent that they might live. [00:57] This is uh this is a continuation of our Bible in the year. We are approaching [01:03] the very end not Bible in the year, excuse me, of our uh our Bible study [01:08] series going from cover to cover in chronological order um through the book. [01:15] Uh we are approaching the end. Last week we talked about um second Peter. All [01:22] right. He talked a little bit about Jude and then second Peter uh and uh you know [01:27] kind of you know in second Peter he kind of broke a lot down for us. He talked to us a lot about you know what I'm saying [01:34] one um how he you know what I'm saying he himself saw Yahosua right then then [01:40] he went on to kind of tell us what it takes to turn away from sin [01:45] um and how we can never fall. Uh then went on to tell us other great things about the most high. So now we uh he [01:52] even told us about brother Paul, right? Told us like, "Yeah, listen man." You know what I'm saying? The boy don't understand Paul. He boy don't know what [01:58] Paul talking about. E boy think the world ain't going to never change. The world ain't going to never come, you know what I'm saying? Come to an end. [02:04] And he let us know. Well, they, you know what I'm saying? They don't realize that the world already been judged. It's [02:10] already been flooded, you know, before. So, uh, this week we gonna jump into [02:16] First John. So now what we know about first John, John wrote first John, this [02:23] is the same John that wrote the gospel of John, right? So as we read through First John, you're going to see how [02:30] plain he makes it, right? It's like like imagine what I want you to do when you [02:35] when we read through First John, I want you to imagine someone who's no nonsense, right? Like think about Paul [02:42] who like who tries to make everything like he's detailed and intricate and you know what I'm saying everything is so [02:48] precise that it gets confusing because it's so nuanced right well think about [02:54] first John nothing is nuanced right with first John is writing it where he's [02:59] trying to bring clarity to the whole situation he's just trying to tell you straight up it is what it is don't be be [03:06] deceived thinking that it ain't what it is you know what I'm saying the gospel like that He wrote everything he write [03:12] is very clear. Matter of fact, pick a side. You know what I'm saying? It's this or it's that. You know what I'm [03:18] saying? He try to make he breaks it down, makes it clear. So now you're going to see there's things in this book [03:25] that if you have if you're not familiar with First John, you going to say, "Why [03:30] in the world has no one ever said this?" Right? Because it's going to be so simple, right? It's going to be full so [03:36] straightforward that that you can just be like, why isn't this like on a billboard somewhere? Like, you know what [03:41] I'm saying? Why ain't the Christian starting off with this? And we'll talk about some of that stuff as we read through it. So, this is uh 1 John [03:47] chapter 1 verse one. This is 1 John 1 verse one. Let's see [03:54] what the book say. [04:01] that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and [04:07] our hands have handled of the word of life. He said, "And our hands have what?" [04:12] He's saying, "Look, like like we've touched them, right? Keep going." Matter of fact, [04:18] that's the same thing that Peter said last week, right? We talking Let's uh go back to Peter. Let's try to refresh. [04:24] This is first Peter or second Peter. Second Peter chapter 1, give me verse 15. [04:32] I just want y'all to see the same message. Second Peter chapter 1, give me verse [04:39] 15. [04:44] Moreover, I will endeavor that ye may be able after my deceased to have these things always in remembrance. For we [04:51] have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and and coming of our master [04:58] Yahosua but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. Right? So he said we saw it ourselves. That's the same thing that [05:04] first John is saying, right? When he say when Peter tell you about fables that's like a story, like a lie, like a myth, [05:11] right? He's saying we not following no myth. We telling you stuff that we saw with our own eyes like we witnessed it, [05:16] right? And so watch this. Keep going. He going to tell you not only did he witness it, watch this. For he received from God the father [05:23] honor and glory when there came such a voice to him from the excellency glory [05:28] excellent glory. This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. Right? So on that day we don't have to [05:34] go back and get it. But who remembers who was there? [05:40] Peter. It was Peter. James and John. James and John. [05:46] Right. So those three were there. So John is John is like, "Oh, Peter ain't [05:52] the only one that saw him and handled him." You know what I'm saying? When you talking about handling, it's like I gave my man a handshake. I used to hug my [05:58] man. We used to walk with him. Like this is not made up. This is stuff that we actually witnessed and saw and we roll [06:05] with like this was it. You know what I mean? So keep going. This is uh actually jump over to Acts. Give me Acts chapter [06:12] 1 verse uh verse one. Acts chapter 1 verse one. [06:26] Tia, do me a favor. Look out that window. Tell me what that car look like that just [06:32] trying to see if it's my mama. The former have I made [06:40] the What's a trace argument? Nothing. It's like a ar it's like a written [06:46] argument. It's like a well organized written argument that's like step one. [06:51] This is what needs to happen and this can only happen if this happens. This that and another. So it's like a wellorganized [06:57] argument that he's laying out. So he says this is my trace keep going of all [07:02] that Yosua began both to do and teach the day in which he was taken up after that he through the Holy Spirit had [07:08] given commandments unto the gospels whom he had chosen. Mhm. To whom also he showed himself alive [07:14] after his passion by many infallible proofs. He did what now? Showing himself alive. [07:19] He show Yahushua after he died showed himself alive to who? [07:27] After his passion by many infallible truths. No, what? Go back before that. He Oh, sorry. Keep going. by many infallible [07:34] truth, infallible proofs, being seen of them 40 days, and speaking of the things [07:40] pertaining to the kingdom of God. Right? So he, it wasn't just John who saw them. It wasn't just Peter who saw [07:47] them. Right? It was many people, many of the disciples who he showed himself to [07:53] and said, "Listen," and then he didn't just show them, he showed them through many infallible proofs. What is [07:58] infallible proof? What is that? Undeniable. You can't dispute it. There's nothing that you can dispute. [08:05] There's nothing like when you when it when you see it, it's like, "No, it is. That's it. That's right. There's nothing [08:12] you can say." Here's an example. Go to John chapter [08:17] 20. This is John chapter 20. We going to do [08:23] verse four. It's important to understand that the [08:29] people who wrote the books of this book, they were not like this is not a joke. [08:36] Like they they not looking they not writing this stuff down like like let me just try to trick somebody. No, these [08:41] people were dead serious about what they writing down. Now that's one thing if we don't believe them. If you don't believe [08:46] them, that's your that's your prerogative. Like no nobody is making anybody believe anything. That's different. I'm not trying to beg nobody [08:52] to believe the Bible. All I'm saying is you should know that they're not playing about what they writing down. They're [08:58] not just writing something down. They're trying to tell you like, "No, I witnessed something. I started to call them crazy if you want, but it's a lot [09:05] of crazy people that had to be crazy at the same time to pull this together and crazy at the same time and different [09:11] time to pull this together. This is uh this is uh John chapter 20. Give me [09:19] verse uh John chapter 20. [09:26] Give me John chapter 20. What verse? 24. 24. John chapter 20 verse 24. [09:40] But Thomas, one of the 12 called Ditimus, was not with them when Yahosua came. The other disciples therefore said [09:46] unto him, "We have seen the master." But he said unto them, "Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and [09:53] put my finger in the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe." So what is what is Thomas asking for? [10:00] He want to see him. He looking for infallible proof. He cuz [10:06] he got he got proof. He got a bunch of people. Listen, what most people who are [10:11] convicted, how are they convicted? What type of evidence is used to convict them? What type of evidence is [10:17] determined to be proof? [10:25] Most of the time when somebody is convicted of a crime, it's through eyewitness testimony. [10:32] It's not it's not because we caught you on a camera. It's not because we we got a picture of you doing it. It's because [10:40] someone says that they witnessed you doing it and they testify about it in court and that's it. They Thomas had [10:47] that, right? Take your shoes off, boy. Thomas had that, right? He had plenty of [10:53] that. Tom Thomas was surrounded by people that was excited that was like, "No, I saw him. No, we went to the tomb. [11:00] He wasn't there. Two angels that told us he was surrounded by that. That was real [11:06] for him. It wasn't a situation where it wasn't eyewitness. That's enough to put a man to to life. [11:13] Uh we had uh where we at? We had John chapter uh 20 verse 20 probably 26 20 [11:19] 25. It's John chapter 20 verse 20 uh 25. Um [11:25] but he was surrounded by this. He's surrounded by people that absolutely [11:30] believed that Yahosua was raised from the dead and a miracle would happen. and [11:36] he talking to him. So after hearing all this from all these people because he hasn't been an eyewitness to this you [11:42] know what he said man please look I believe it when the man come in front of [11:47] me I can touch his dark side and feel the wounds in his hands when that look when I I know what y'all I okay I get it [11:54] I know what y'all talking about I'm just telling you I'll be on board when I see it he looking for infall he's not [12:02] looking for eyewitness testimony he's looking for infallible proof Give me [12:07] something that nobody can dispute. Watch what happened. [12:13] And after 8 days again his disciples were within and Thomas with them. Then came Yahosua the doors being shut and [12:19] stood in the midst and said, "Peace be unto you." That's a cold part cuz you can't miss the You can't miss the little things. He [12:25] said, "Then came Yahosua with the doors being what?" With the doors being shut. [12:31] That mean they locked it. You got You got to imagine, you got to picture the whole situation. We all in the room. We [12:37] killing, right? Excited. Cuz you got a bunch of the brothers that saw the man. You got other brothers that know that he [12:44] was buried in this spot, but he's no longer there. And angel spoke to him. And you got some more brothers that [12:49] heard about the angel speaking to him and they went to check it out themselves and they saw, you know what? His body [12:55] definitely wasn't there. Right? So they everybody excited cuz it's like this is the man. This the one we've been crying [13:01] about the last three days. We all been sad the last three days over here. So they looking like all in the room [13:08] excited like, man, he he really rose from the dead. And they trying to put it together like this is really the [13:13] Messiah. Like this is it. This is really him. He about to become king. He about [13:19] to get rid of all these gentile. Like you got to imagine how we was thinking. He about to get rid of all these Gentiles. All this time we was sitting [13:26] here under the thumb of Rome. He about to take on Caesar. He about to bring all [13:32] the kingdom down. We are excited. We cannot wait. Tom is sitting there like, [13:37] "Yeah, I feel it." But uh I don't know. You know what I'm saying? I'm not calling y'all liars. I'm just telling [13:44] you what I'mma believe is going to be based off of some infallible proof. And then all of a sudden, you see the last [13:50] brother walking the door. And then, you know what I'm saying? I like to believe like, you know what I'm saying? Barthala [13:56] mule. You know what I'm saying? He hit he said he said, "Hey man, lock that door behind you, man. You don't want them boys running up in there." So my [14:02] man turned around. He was like, "Lock." You know what I'm saying? Cool this up. No, I saw him too. My man just start talking. Then men sent Yoshua just pop [14:09] up. You know what I'm saying? He didn't pop up. Watch what he say. Watch this. [14:15] Peace be onto you. No, no, no. Go back before. After eight days again, the disciples were within and Thomas with them. Then [14:20] came Yosua. The doors being shut. Look, they shut the door. Y'all sure? [14:26] You know what I'm saying? And then he said, "What?" Be on to you. Look, how you Somebody pop in. The door [14:31] just got locked. You do a count. You say, "Okay, Joseph present." All right. [14:37] James present. John present. Peter. [14:44] Peter present. Okay. He is in the back. You know what I'm saying? Bartholomew mule [14:50] present. You know what I'm saying? And all of a sudden, okay, that's everybody. Lock the door. Hey, lock the door. [14:55] Yoshua, peace be unto you. You know what I'm saying? You looking like what the where'd you come from? You looking at [15:02] him like we just did roll call and we locked the door. It ain't a big room. [15:09] Peace be unto who and you just Bob just pop up. Peace be [15:14] unto you, right? Like it's all good. Y'all got to understand how God mind work. That's not that's not [15:20] unintentional. You have to you have to know that Yahw is powerful enough to make himself [15:28] appear however he want to. But he chose to wait till after the doors was closed [15:33] and then come up and he don't say hey look I know this is surprising me being here. He don't say that. You know what [15:39] he say? Peace be unto you. You know what the you know what the women of today would call that? Gaslighting. [15:47] How you acting like you talking to me normal like you didn't just appear in this room. [15:52] Right. Watch what he said. Keep going. He said, "Peace be unto you." Then said he to Thomas, "Reach here thy [15:59] finger, and behold my hand, and reach here thy hand, and thrust it into my side, and be not faithless, but [16:04] believing." Mhm. And Thomas answered and said unto him, "My Lord and my God." My what? My Lord and my God. [16:10] I got that. Every Hebrew Israelite that's sitting around talking about, "Well, no, see Yahosua, he the Messiah, [16:17] but he ain't God." He sure ain't correct. Thomas. You know [16:23] what I'm saying? When Thomas said, "Oh, no. It it depends on what version we read." Let's make sure we reading out of [16:29] the New Hebrew Israelite special edition, version six. If we read out of [16:36] that version, let's read it again and let's see what it say. Thomas answered and said unto him, "My Lord and my God." [16:43] Dang. Even in the Hebrew version six, special edition, it don't matter what you read. And guess what it gonna say? [16:49] my God. I mean, in version seven, you know what they gonna put in there? No, don't call [16:57] me your God. They ain't got to that version yet. So, for right now, guess what it say? My God. [17:04] You got to deal with that. And so, that's all Thomas needed, right? And Yahosua's first thing he said to him, [17:10] "Don't be faithless. Go ahead and touch me. If you say that's what you need, go ahead and touch me." But watch what he say next. [17:15] Yoshua said unto him, "Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed." He said, "Look, the only reason you believe [17:21] is because you have seen me yourself." But watch what he say next. Blessed are they that have not seen yet [17:28] have believed. Don't let that verse fly by you too fast. [17:34] Many of us have sat at night and on mornings and praying and saying, "Show me something, God. Show me something I [17:40] can believe in. Show me show me a miracle. Speak to me, Lord. Give me [17:45] something to help my faith." Many of us have had that prayer and may even have [17:50] that prayer, right? But know this, blessed are those who believe and don't [17:58] see. Ain't nothing wrong with seeing. Ain't nothing wrong with having a miracle. [18:04] Ain't nothing wrong with none of that. But there is a blessing specifically out of the mouth of Yahosua to those who [18:12] believe even though they didn't see. who believe strictly off of the eyewitness [18:19] of righteous men. And we have a whole book full of those eyewitnesses. [18:25] It is not a small thing or a light thing to have a saving faith that's based off [18:30] of the word only. No miracle, no vision, no sight, no nothing. You just got the [18:37] word in front of you and you say, "You know what? That makes sense to me." [18:43] There's a specific blessing attached to that, right? And that's not a like [18:48] thing, right? We got to promote both sides of it. If the most high God give you a vision, an experience, a miracle, [18:54] let you see something special, that's right. He did it for a reason and you hold on to that and you run with [19:01] it and you march with it. But if he didn't, it ain't nothing wrong. Don't [19:06] let these people sit in these churches jumping around speaking in tongues, slapping people on their head, they fall [19:11] all out and you think it's something wrong with you because all that's happening. But that ain't never happened to me. I never got the urge to speak in [19:18] tongues and I pray all the time. You can't let that make you It's some people that go, "What's the church is?" What's [19:23] that church you were going to Is that Wasn't it that church you were [19:29] going to that like they said they was teaching like if you don't speak in tongues? I think so. I think that like [19:36] if you I think they teach I think they teaching like if you don't if I remember I might be mixing it up but I think they [19:41] teaching like if you don't speak in tongues I don't think it was that one though. [19:46] Yeah I think it was Yeah. I don't know which I can't I don't remember. Yeah I don't know one of it was it might [19:52] have been it might not have been yours. It was somebody church if you don't speak in tongu. Well, it's a bunch of churches that teach that, but it's one [19:58] in particular I remember going to right when I was starting to kind of learn the book and they like if you don't speak in [20:04] tongues this that and another. I was like no that's wrong bro that's not what I'm reading. That's not what I'm [20:09] reading. That's wrong. You know what I'm saying? Like it's too many book it's too many plain scriptures that tell you something different for for me to go [20:15] along with that. And that's but that's what we deal with. We deal with a bunch of liars. [20:20] And it's a I I made a post not too long ago of it was a it was a image and the [20:28] image you know I'm saying it's hard to describe but it had three circles on one image stacked on top of each other [20:35] and then the other one had and like the circles of one you know what I'm saying different sizes and the other one it [20:40] next to it was like three lines and then the other one was just a circle and then [20:46] basically the idea of it was this is all a a image of the same thing from a [20:51] different perspective. So if you look at three circles stacked on top of each other from up top, it just look like [20:56] three circles. I mean, it look just look like one circle. You look at it from the side, it look like three lines. You look [21:02] at it from some other angle, I can't remember what it was, it looked like circles. And so it's like the uh there [21:07] like, you know what I'm saying? The truth can look different from different perspective or it wasn't that that would have been accurate. It was something [21:13] like it was something like your truth versus my truth or something like that. Like there like you know what I'm [21:19] saying? like there could be three truths and and I put on there I was like see people get truth and honesty confused [21:27] right a per like I could be absolutely honest like no I'm telling you what I saw you know what I'm saying on the [21:34] video I saw T reach across the counter [21:39] grab the money out of the register and then walk out of the camera frame I saw [21:44] it with my own eyes that man stole Right. I'm not lying [21:50] about what I saw. I saw what I saw. But T can say I didn't steal a thing. [21:57] Right. The lady asked me to reach into the register for her because her hands [22:03] didn't work. You know what I'm saying? Or whatever. And then somebody else can say, you know what I'm saying? Whatever. So when you put the whole story [22:09] together, it's like, oh well, T told the truth. That was honest of him and he told the truth. I also told what was [22:16] honest to me of what I saw. I just made an assumption about what that meant, right? But what I saw, what I was honest [22:23] about. What I saw is not the truth though. What I saw is something or what [22:30] I said is not the uh is not the truth though. What I said was me being honest about what I believe. But sometimes we [22:37] believe lies. Sometimes we're incorrect about what we believe. [22:43] We're honestly believing it and we're honestly stating what we believe, but it doesn't make it the truth. And that is [22:51] something that we all have to latch on to. Like the truth is objective. There's not your truth, my truth, and his truth. [22:57] It's not three truths. What is it three? It's not three sides to the story. Well, I guess there is three sides to the [23:03] story, but it's only one truth. You got to put all the sides and all the [23:08] perspective together to understand that truth. And that's what we deal with is a [23:13] bunch of people, some of them who are honest but wrong, [23:21] right? They're honest but they're wrong. Incorrect. They believe they they [23:28] they've been taught lies and they repeat those lies. That's what we have to that's less dangerous than the liar in [23:34] some cases, right? The liar, the liar, he has to spread what he what what he [23:41] want his lie, right? But once you get a person honestly to believe that lie, [23:47] that is the tricky one because now there's not they not going to have a twitch and the liar might have a twitch. [23:53] He might look up when he telling his lie. You know what I'm saying? You might be able to catch signs of the liar, but [23:59] when the person who honestly believes it, they going to pass the polygraph, [24:05] right? Everything about this person is going to be genuine. That's the tricky one. And that's where [24:11] Satan works. Deception, right? Satan. I don't believe Satan [24:18] would have ever went directly to Adam. Adam would have caught it. I like to believe it. Adam would have been like, [24:24] man, you know what I'm saying? I ain't talking to no snake. You know what I'm saying? Like, why is a snake talking in the first place? Right. Eve, who didn't [24:32] get her information directly from the most high God, she got it from Adam. [24:38] A little more disconnected. And so guess what? He talked to her. [24:44] So you mean to tell me y'all can't eat of any tree in the garden? [24:50] You know what I'm saying? He throw out a little deflection. You can't all these trees, you can't eat not one of them. [24:56] No, no, no, serpent. That's not what he said. He just said we couldn't eat of [25:01] the tree in the midst of the garden. Every other tree is ours. Oh, that's [25:06] what he said. Oh, man. He just know that once you eat it, you going to be like [25:11] him. So now he got her to honestly believe it. And so she went to Adam. [25:19] Adam don't catch the twitch. He not talking to a serpent. He not doing nothing. He just looking like, [25:25] "Well, give it here. Let me get the fruit, too. Right? This is what we deal with. But the way [25:32] that we get past that is we believe the book. We don't believe people. We don't [25:38] believe a miracle. We don't believe because all these things one day will be [25:43] duplicated by Satan, right? There will be false prophets that [25:48] do miracles, make stuff come out of the sky, turn stuff into fire, and we gonna be looking [25:54] at it and they gonna be telling us, "I come from Yahwh. I have come from God. I [26:01] have come to lead the world into peace." And the only way we going to know this is wrong is we going to be like, "That [26:08] don't line up with what the prophets say, though." But if you don't know the prophets, [26:14] guess what's going to happen? You're going to honestly believe that this is right and you're going to walk [26:20] away and be like, "Man, look, I just saw a prophet. I've been praying all my life to see a miracle and he just did one." [26:27] And you going to think that's the answer to the prayer that you have on your bed every day just God just show me some man [26:33] pop up shooting fireballs out saying I'mma lead you to peace. The most high God is going to going to redeem this [26:39] city, right? You don't need to go anywhere. This that and the other. And then we going to look and be like, "Whoa, that ain't how the prophecy [26:45] supposed to go. I thought we was supposed to be going back to Israel." [26:52] Let's go back. This is uh First John chapter uh where we leave off 1 John chapter 1:3. We ain't getting nowhere. [27:00] We on verse one. You said First John. Yeah. First John chapter 1 verse one. [27:07] Just run in a darn mouth. Not be ashamed of yourself. [27:13] that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and [27:19] our hands have handled, of the word of life. For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and [27:24] show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us. That which we have seen and heard, [27:31] declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with [27:36] his son, Yahosua. I'm I'm positive Zak forgot about [27:42] Young Zeke, you know what I mean? [27:49] And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. This then is the [27:55] message which we have heard of him and declare unto you that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. [28:00] He said God is what? Light. And in him is what? No darkness at all. [28:07] What else he say? If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth. [28:13] Y'all, you just I just want y'all to appreciate how matterof fact and straightforward John is about to be this [28:20] entire book. He's not playing with nobody. He's not trying to he's not trying to explain all the details behind [28:27] what he's saying. He's just trying to get lay it out for you straight. Listen, it ain't no darkness in Yahosua. I mean, [28:34] uh and uh do we say do we say Yahosua or do we say the Father? He said it ain't no darkness in the [28:40] father, right? And let me tell you something. If you walk in darkness and [28:45] say that you with him, you're a liar. Just plain, right? It's like this is [28:52] what it is. This is what it ain't. And this is what it mean. If you disagree with me, right? It's just plain. I'm not [28:59] explaining it to you. I'm not breaking it down to you. I'm just telling you this is what it is. is I don't have time [29:06] to go over nothing else. Just believe what I'm telling you. Right? Paul is a little different. When we read Paul [29:12] book, everything is based off of evidence. Right? Paul lay it out. See, you could you you should believe what [29:18] I'm telling you because this you should believe what I'm telling you because this that's not John. Why might that be [29:24] different for Paul and John? Why why is it that Paul is so detailed [29:30] and he quotes so much scripture? Paul was a doctor of the law. He's a Pharisee. That's one reason. What's another [29:35] reason? Why would Paul feel the need to prove? He was sent to the Gentiles because they [29:41] didn't know who God is like we do. Yeah. He was sent to the Gentiles knowledge. So then he went to the Gentiles. And [29:48] what type of political problem did that cause? What they start saying about Paul when he start went to going to the [29:53] Gentiles? You saying you uh you like a traitor. You know what I'm saying? You teaching [29:59] them the wrong things. They said that you don't even believe the law no more. Right. because he went to a gentile [30:05] which is different for us. We didn't we didn't chase down no darn Gentiles. Gentiles would have had to come to [30:10] Israel, right? So that would have been different for us. We look at Paul and we looking like what did you we don't go to [30:17] Gentile? What did you doing? But he's claim he's like I am the apostle of the Gentiles. That's different for us. So [30:25] that hurts his credibility. So the people start to doubt him. So guess what his writing style got to be? [30:32] Man, please. You don't know who I am, boy. Look, you know I'm telling the truth because Psalm said this and Isaiah [30:37] said this and Jeremiah said this and he got to quote everything to prove what he's saying because that's his [30:44] credibility. John know John practically never left is [30:49] Israel. He's he's still in the land. So guess what? And John stood next to [30:54] the Messiah. Everybody who know the Messiah know John [31:00] was right there the whole time. So John's credibility is never in question. [31:06] So when he teach, guess what he can say? This what it is, bro. If you are in [31:12] darkness, you are a liar talking about you with the Messiah that you with the father. Period. No, I'm not explaining [31:19] nothing. It is what it I'm telling you that. And he has the authority to do it. He has the credibility to do it. and [31:26] he's right. So now when you read John, it's like it's just straightforward. It's matter [31:32] of fact. There's no wishy-washy. None of the stuff that you read with Paul. With Paul is all over the place. You be [31:38] looking like, "Okay, what is he trying to explain? Okay, we was just talking about this, this, that, and another." Cuz he has to line up all the details. [31:44] And if you don't, if you're not well versed in the scripture, you won't be able to connect all the details that you're talking about. And so it feels [31:50] confusing. And so you just say, "Uh, well, he said not by works and by grace." So that means, you know, doesn't [31:56] matter what we do. We can just sin if we want. You know, you jump into it and then when the Hebrew Israelite read it, they they pick something else out. Like, [32:03] oh yeah. See, he said he said the law is good and righteous and good. So everybody got to keep the law or you going to hell. You know what I mean? So [32:09] it's like everybody pick the piece they want and just take it cuz they know they don't understand the rest of it. [32:16] You can't do that with John. Watch this. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with [32:22] another. And the blood of Yahosua, his son, cleanses us from all sin. Let me [32:27] show you where uh Yahosua explained this to us. This is John chapter 14. Uh John [32:32] 3:14. This is John 3:14. Yahosua explained [32:39] this exact same detail to us. There's no darkness in the father. [32:47] If we say that we walk in darkness and know him, we are a liar. [32:53] Right? Watch what Yahosua say. This is John chapter 3:14. [33:02] And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. [33:08] Uh-huh. That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Mhm. For God so loved the world that he gave [33:14] his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish. What that mean? God loved the world so [33:19] much. God loved the world like this. Like so. How did how did God love the world? What [33:24] is this describing to us? God so loved the world. So it's telling us God like loved the world like so. What's the like [33:32] so? How what did he compare God's love to the world to? Moses lifting up the serpent in the [33:38] wilderness. though must the son of man be lifted up. So now if you got the children in the wilderness who all got their butt [33:44] killed, what that mean for us? If God loved the world in the same way that he loved the the Israelites in the [33:50] wilderness, we need somebody to remove death. Watch this. He'll keep telling you what [33:56] I love about the book. It don't matter what what one of these twisted Christian verses you get. Keep reading. It'll [34:03] explain it. It'll explain it every single time. Watch this. For God so loved the world that he gave his only [34:08] begotten son that whosoever believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life. That's right. For God sent not his son into the world [34:15] to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. The only reason the son came is so that [34:20] the world through him can be saved. Watch this. [34:25] He that believes on him is not condemned. So uh if you believe on him, you're saved. You're not condemned. But watch [34:32] this. But he that believes not is condemned already. Why? because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God. [34:39] Why would they already be condemned? How in the y'all just came into the [34:45] world? Why are we already condemned? Wages of sin is death. [34:52] But why does sin condemn us? And why is that? How does sin separate [34:58] us from God? Like who gave sin that authority? God. Adam, [35:05] the law. The law, right? The law, [35:10] right? The law, which is divine, which is technically God, right? The law is defined as anything that the most high [35:17] God instructs, right? Anything that he commands. So when the most high God gave us the law [35:24] and in that law, what happened? Fly. Oh yeah. Yeah. That thing was [35:30] flying by me too. that the law in the law in in in chapter 27 [35:37] in Deuteronomy chapter 27 verse 26 I think it is it tells you anybody who [35:42] doesn't continue in all these things to do them is cursed that curse is death [35:47] that death is the law right so now when [35:53] he tells you you are condemned already that's because Moses condemned you already [35:58] right Moses condemned you already. So you stand condemned breathing. [36:07] That's where you headed. Now Yahushua, his whole purpose is and the only reason [36:13] he came is you got an opportunity to live in the same way that in the wilderness when he held up the serpent, [36:19] Moses held up that serpent. You got an opportunity to live. Just make sure you fix your eyes on it. Right? Keep going. [36:26] Watch this. And this is the condemnation that light has come into the world and men love [36:32] darkness rather than light because so now whoa hold on hold on this is the condemnation is always going look it's [36:40] the same writer John he's going to define it for you and make it plain. You [36:45] might be confused when you say God so loved the world. You might be confused when he say the only reason he didn't [36:51] come to condemn the world. He only came to save the world. That might be confusing. So he said let me break it down for you. You're condemned. [36:57] Condemned already. And let me explain what that condemnation is. What is it? [37:03] That light has come into the world. Light has come into the world. Men love darkness rather than light [37:08] because their deeds were evil. People love the darkness rather than light. Why? Because their deeds were [37:15] evil. He's not playing. He's not mentioning where he telling you exactly what it is. This is what it looks like [37:21] to be condemned. If you're unsure, just in case you unsure, look, Yahosua came [37:27] to save the world. If you believe on him, then you will have everlasting life. If you don't believe on him, you [37:32] are condemned already. All right. Well, I I don't feel like I'm condemned. Now, just in case, this is what it means to [37:39] be condemned. You avoid the light because what? Their deeds are evil. [37:45] Keep going. For everyone that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the [37:50] light, lest his deed should be reproved. Your butt got to keep hiding because you know that if you come to the [37:56] light, now you have a spectacle on you right now. You can see it. And at that [38:02] point, your deeds, the evil deeds that you love are going to be reproved. And [38:07] when you're not ready to stop the evil deeds, guess what? I'mma go ahead and [38:12] stay step out of life. You know what I'm saying? That's what all of us do. A lot of us, we mess up. We sin. And guess [38:18] what we say? Oh man, I don't even want to pray. You know what I'm saying? Because I just ain't in the the right [38:24] mental space. You know what that's really saying? I don't want to stop yet. I'm not quite [38:32] ready to change. Right? There's a there's a difference. I told my son this, right? If you if you [38:40] if you mess up and then you say, "Listen, I messed up. How can I make it right?" What that communicates is, I [38:49] want to change. So, I'm bringing what I did to the light so that it can be [38:55] reproved. Right? If I mess up and hide it and lie about it, what does that [39:02] communicate? I have no intentions of changing. Therefore, I don't want it to be [39:08] reproved. You hide and you lie because you don't want to change. You're not ready to [39:14] change yet. And you have to acknowledge that internally. If otherwise, you're confusing yourself. You lie to yourself [39:20] and you get confused and you get all you all over the place. You get to telling yourself, "Well, I'm still a good [39:25] person. I mean, I'm trying my best." And all these lies you tell yourself, you got to make it matter of fact just like [39:31] John do. My deeds are evil. That's why I don't want to pray. That's why I don't [39:37] want to do Bible study. That's why I don't want to read today. That's why I don't want to like my deeds are evil. [39:44] I'm staying away from the light. And that don't mean that you got to change. You can say that to yourself and keep [39:50] sinning. But guess what? It'll be a little bit better. When it's time to find the road back, you'll know the road [39:56] back cuz you've acknowledged every step of the way that you stepped away from God. When you get to occusing and hiding [40:02] all the steps that you made away from God, it's difficult to get back because you've lied to yourself so much. So now [40:08] you can't even see the path back. You be looking like I am a good person, ain't I? Now there's no way. As long as you [40:14] think you good and God say you not and you in disagreement with God, you will never get back to him. There's no way. [40:21] You got to get to a place where you say, "I've walked contrary to you and you've [40:27] walked contrary to me." That's the path. That's the starting place of anybody. We [40:32] ain't got to get it. But Romans chapter 10 tell you you can't get to them unless you confess. [40:38] Everybody be thinking that the confession is go in front of the church. Well, I was watching pornography. [40:44] And I was that's that's not what the book is telling you. The confession like we always want some big thing. Y'all [40:50] remember we just read non. We read about uh Hamon. Hamon was going to uh Alicia [40:56] and he was like, "You know what I'm saying? Look man, I got leprosy. You know what I'm saying? I'm looking for a prophet to heal me of my leprosy. We [41:01] ain't got to get it. But then then then uh Alicia wouldn't even talk to him directly. Name a gentile. So he came in, [41:08] he look like, "Yeah, can I talk to Alicia?" Elisha is like, you know what I'm saying? Go out there and go tell him what he need to do. He sent his servant [41:14] out there. His servant went to go talk to her like, "Yeah, Alicia said going down to the Jordan River." And think of [41:19] the Jordan as like Lake me. You know what I'm saying? Like you got you got you got lake what's a cracking lake. You [41:27] got Lake Tahoe. You know what I'm saying? You got what's another? Michigan. You got Lake, you know what I'm saying? [41:33] Michigan. You got all these good lakes, popular lakes, beautiful lakes with waterfalls and great stuff happening. [41:39] And then you know what they saying? Clean ain't got dead bodies at the bottom of them, diseases and darn seven [41:44] eye fish. You know what I'm saying? Why that catfish got seven eye? Right? You got all this stuff going on and they [41:50] tell you, "Oh, go dip seven times in Lake me." That's how naming felt. He looking like, "What? You want me to go [41:56] to the Jordan? Boy, don't you know where I'm from? It's great rivers and lakes that I could have dipped in. I could [42:02] have went there." And then he looking at like the man didn't even have a nerves. Come out here and tell me. So he walked away like, "Man, his servant, bless him, [42:10] his servant came to him was like, not not Alicia's servant, a different to this is non's right-hand man. Name [42:16] servant came to was like, "Master, look, had he told you to go do something crazy like do seven back flips and dive into, [42:25] you know what I'm saying? Dive off of this clip, he's like, would you not have done it?" If he told you to do something [42:30] crazy and wild, would you not have done it? [42:37] That's what we be. We be looking for the the wild thing like something crazy to [42:42] happen. The most high God telling you to do something simple. Just confess privately. You know what I'm saying? [42:47] Nobody else needs to even know. Love covers sin. That thing can be a personal private [42:55] thing. Confess to yourself and God. I've been walking contrary to you and you've [43:02] been walking contrary to me. those statements, those two statements [43:08] according to the book, not because I said it, according to the book gives you the path to him, right? But if we can't [43:16] let go of that, then we can't do anything. And that is what darkness looks like, right? The darkness that [43:22] he's talking about is because our deeds are evil, right? We hide it from the world because we don't have an intention [43:29] of changing. Once we have an intention of changing, we go right to the light and we bring it up. And then it's [43:35] reproved. It's corrected. Right. What verse we got? What what's the next verse? [43:40] But he that does truth comes to the light that his deeds may be manifest that they are wrought in God. That's right. Let's jump back. This is [43:47] uh First John chapter 1 verse 7. First John chapter 1 [43:55] vers 7. We going to get out this first chapter. [44:03] Uh my sister got a question in the chat in there. She said, "But also it says that he [44:09] loved the world like past tense. So good doesn't mean righteous." [44:19] So the the first part he loved the world past tense is saying it past tense. Um [44:25] it's saying it past tense because Yahosua is speaking about it past tense like right? You know what I'm saying? And so [44:31] he cuz Yahosua had already been sent into the world. So he's talking about it. I was sent pretty much he's saying I [44:37] was sent into the world. You know what I'm saying? For this reason. But it's not past tense in the sense that God no [44:43] longer has that love that same love for the world. He's just saying that his his [44:48] love for the world is akin to his love for Israel. Right? And that's why he [44:54] sent the son into the world. And then for the second piece, he said, "So good [45:00] doesn't mean righteousness." Or she said, "Uh, so good doesn't mean righteousness." Um, no, the two from a [45:06] biblical sense are synonymous. So if a person has good deeds, then that would be righteous deeds. So yeah, good in the [45:13] in the context of what we just read, good does mean righteousness. [45:21] This is uh 1 John 1 verse uh seven. [45:26] But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another. And the blood of Yahosua the [45:32] Messiah, his son, cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not [45:39] in us. Okay. So hold on, hold on, hold on. If you say what now? We say we have no sin, we deceive [45:44] ourselves and the truth is not in us. So everybody have sin. How do we know that? [45:50] Because we've all sinned before. All right, keep going. If we confess our sins, he is faithful [45:56] and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. That's right. If we say that we have not sinned, we [46:03] make him a liar and his word is not in us. So that's the past tense, sister, that we have to pay attention to. [46:10] This verse, it's despicable. This very verse is used [46:16] to tell people that it's impossible to stop sinning. Right. Right. They'll use this to be like, [46:22] well, if you say you don't have sin, then that means, you know what I'm saying? You're a liar. But it's like [46:28] that's let's let's look very closely at what he's saying, right? He's saying if you say you have not sinned, in other [46:36] words, if you say that you've never sinned, then you're a liar. He's not saying that. If you say that you're not [46:42] sinning right now, you're a liar, right? You can stop sinning and you not only stop sinning, you must stop sinning in [46:49] order to enter into the kingdom, right? How do we know that? Grab real quick first Peter chapter 4. [46:56] Yeah, the whole book. You know what I'm saying? Take your pick. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. We don't have to get it, but first [47:02] first Peter chapter 4 tell us, he that has ceased from sin or what did he say? [47:08] He that has suffered has ceased from sin. He that has suffered in the flesh has ceased. Yeah. He that has suffered in the flesh [47:13] has ceased from sin. Right? It's important for us to know that sin like a [47:19] the entryway to the kingdom is turning away from the sins that the Messiah uh [47:24] list out. Uh God all things are possible. That's right. [47:32] Like is there what's the point where sin entered your life? [47:37] No. A baby. A baby would be the exception, right? A baby. Until they're not babies. [47:43] Yeah. Yeah. Kind of think of it like um [47:48] Oh, I wish I could remember where it is. Jeroboam's son, you actually asked a [47:54] question about it. I think it was you. Um but Jeroboam's son, he was a baby. [47:59] And the most high God said, "All of your descendants, you know what I'm saying, is going to get killed." And he said, [48:06] "But except for the the baby because he looked, we got he said, "I seen some [48:13] good in him." Yeah. So, so imagine that God God didn't let him God didn't let the baby live. He's [48:19] like, "The baby's going to die." He's like, "But this baby is not going to die like the rest because there is some good [48:25] I see in him." Right? So, that baby would have grew up to be righteous. I want to say that's first kings. [48:34] First Kings 12, maybe 11. It ain't 11. It's first Kings 13, 14. [48:42] Let's see. Let's see. Probably been the only for real. For real. That's a good point. [48:48] That's a good point. Like, no. Nope. I ain't going to give y'all one. We got a plan. You know what I'm saying? You messing up my plan. You already got [48:56] you, young man. You know what I'm saying? Uh, the other y'all kill him. Let's Let's see. Uh, let's see if it's [49:01] First Kings 14. It's not though. But [49:07] what's wrong with you? Drunk lots of water and drunk a cup of Kool-Aid. [49:12] That's crazy. That's why you're getting fat. Um, you [49:18] look good though, boy. Stand up. Let me check you out. You look good. You got to relax now. You know what I'm saying? But [49:23] you look good. Listen. Uh, go, uh, go get your stuff ready for tomorrow. Stop [49:29] burping, boy. Say, excuse me. Let me see if it's first Kings. Is it [49:36] 14? Yeah, it is. Yeah. Oh, that's a bad boy. I don't know. I don't even know why y'all play with That's a bad boy. He called out First [49:43] Kings 14. We did read it not too long ago, though. This is uh First Kings chapter 14. So, look, let me try to get [49:49] the verse now. I'mma say it's verse seven. What's the last verse? 31. [49:54] I'm going say it's verse 17. It's verse 17. This first kings chapter [50:00] chapter 14 verse1 17. Watch what the book say. [50:05] That ain't it. And Jerobo and his wife arose and departed and came. And as she came to the threshold of the door, the child [50:12] died. Oh no, that's too far. It's It's before that. It's before that. That was pretty [50:18] darn good. If this was a Christian church, then the whole choir would have broke out. [50:24] somebody is that if a Christian pastor did something like that, whole choir would have broke out in unison. [50:30] You know what I'm saying? Something crazy with that. I'm just letting y'all know. What verse is it? This is First Kings [50:39] chapter 14. We can start at verse one if we need to. [50:46] You want 12? It's first Kings 14 verse 12. Verse 11. Him that dieth of Jeroboam in [50:54] the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dies in the field shall the fowls of the air eat. So this is here, this is [50:59] most high God prophesying to Jeroboam that all of his descendants are going to [51:04] die and then they're going to be eaten by animals. So they not going to come to the grave is pretty much what he's [51:10] saying. Nobody going to be able to bury your descendants. They're all going to be eaten by animals, right? Watch this. [51:15] For Yahweh has spoken it. Arise therefore and get thee to thine own house. And when thy feet enter the city, [51:21] the child shall die, and all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the [51:27] grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Yahweh God in Israel in the house of Jeroboam. Right? [51:34] So when we look at it, the babies are accepted because they haven't had a chance to commit sin, right? To rebel [51:41] against the most high God. But even in them, the most high God can see all the things that they would have did had they [51:48] lived. So in that the most high God is kind of look at it be like nah he would have did all right you know what I'm saying that that would have been my boy [51:54] there you know what I'm saying go ahead and kill him though you know he going to die ain't going to change nothing when you step your foot in the door he going [52:00] to die go ahead and bury him everybody mourn them the rest of them send the dogs and the birds right so when we look [52:08] at it everybody sins everybody sins [52:13] and everybody dies because they sinned [52:18] Yeah, everybody everybody sins. There's nobody who does. Matter of fact, go to uh Ecclesiastes chapter 7. Ecclesiastes [52:27] chapter 7, give me verse 15. [52:32] Ecclesiastes chapter 7, verse 15. [52:49] All things have I seen in the days of my vanity. There is a just man that perishes in his righteousness, and there [52:54] is a wicked man that prolongs his life in his wickedness. Be not righteous over much, neither make thyself overwise. [53:01] He said, "Be not righteous over much, neither make thyself over wise." What [53:06] does that mean? Over do it. Don't be trying to be overwise. So too much wisdom will just [53:12] depress you. Ignorance is bliss. [53:17] Yeah, that's what it is. It's like it's like when you trying when you being over you remember when Yahu we don't have to get it but in in chap Matthew chapter 6 [53:24] Yahosua told he was like listen is it six? It might be chapter 5. He said listen don't swear by the temple nor by [53:31] the uh altar, right? He said just let your yes be your yes and your no be your [53:37] no. Anything else come from what? It comes from evil. Because what he's [53:43] saying is that's overly right. Like you trying too hard to be righteous. You're trying too hard to be appear like right. [53:49] He also told us he said look when you pray don't pray like like uh like the Gentiles with vain repetition. You know [53:57] what I'm saying? Because what are they? That's overly righteous. Like you're trying to appear righteous. So that's [54:03] the same thing that uh Solomon is telling us here in Ecclesiastes. He basically saying don't be don't be [54:08] righteous over much nor be overly wise. Right? Don't be trying too hard to look wise and and sound righteous and look [54:15] righteous. Keep going. Be not over much wicked, neither neither [54:20] be thou foolish. Why should you die before your time? It is good that you should take hold of [54:25] this. Yay, also from this withdraw not thine hand. For he that fears God shall come forth of them all. [54:32] Wisdom strengthens the wise more than 10 mighty men which are in the city. For there is not a just man upon the [54:37] earth that does good and sinnth not. There is not a just man upon the earth [54:44] that does good without at least some sin. He's telling us that, right? At [54:50] some point, anybody who we look at and be like, "That's a good brother." At some point, they sin. That's important [54:58] for us to realize because the whole ark that the most high God is building it it [55:05] depends on everybody sinning and falling short of his glory. [55:11] And therefore, cuz if that weren't the case, then there's no reason for Yahosua to come, right? So therefore, Yahosua [55:18] had to come to then give an opportunity to all these people who are in the wilderness being stung by a serpent that [55:25] is poisonous to them. So now your only opportunity is to look up at this brass serpent that Moses is holding up. And [55:32] now that brass serpent is Yahosua that Moses is holding up, right? And so that's what we look at. This is uh going [55:39] back. This is uh 1 John what? 1 John chapter. We should [55:44] be at chapter two now, right? No. No. Nope. This first John chapter 1. What verse? [55:51] Uh 10. Yeah, it's only 10. No, we don't. I'm about there's only 10 in there. [55:58] This is uh 1 John 2:1. My little children, these things write I unto you that ye send not. [56:05] Right? So now he just got don't I know we went to a different chapter, but look at it. It's like it's one letter non-stop. So he just got done telling [56:12] you. He said there's nobody that don't sin. If you say you sin and you don't sin, you are a liar. Right? There's [56:19] nobody that sinnth not. Then he says, "But I'm writing unto you that you don't [56:25] sin." Keep going. "And if any man sin, we have an advocate [56:31] with the father, Yahosua, the righteous. And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also the sins [56:37] of the whole world." What's a propitiation? Like a lawyer, I think, like somebody that advocates for you. Like a [56:44] Well, propitiation is like a like the the the the solution. [56:49] Yeah. like a solution like a satis like it's satisfy it's like a payment [56:54] it's a payment it's a it's a it's a ransom right you know what I'm saying it's like it's like this is what is needed to make [57:02] it good right so he is the satisfaction or he is [57:08] the solution to sin right watch this keep going and hereby we do know that we know him [57:13] if we keep his commandments he that saith I how you know him if we keep his commandments [57:18] now watch clear he is. Watch it. He that says what? He that says I know him and keepeth his commandments. [57:24] What? Hold on. Read it again. He that says I know him and keepeth not his commandments is a liar and the truth [57:29] is not in it. Period. Right. We know him because we keep his commandments. If you don't keep [57:35] his commandments and say you know them, you're a liar. He's not leaving any room for misunderstanding. No wiggle room. [57:42] He's just telling you it is what it is. Keep going. But whosoever keeps his word, in him, verily is the love of God [57:48] perfected. Hereby know we that we are in him. He that says he abides in him ought [57:54] himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Brethren, I write no new commandment [58:00] unto you, but an old commandment which he had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye [58:05] have heard from the beginning. Mhm. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in [58:11] you, because the darkness is passed, and the true light now shines. He that says [58:16] he is in the light and hates his brother is in darkness, even until now. He that loves his brother abides in the light, [58:23] and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and [58:28] knows not where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes. Right? I write unto you little children [58:34] because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. I write unto you fathers because you have known him that [58:40] was from the beginning. I write unto you young men because you have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you little [58:46] children because you have known the father. I have written unto you fathers because you have known him that is from [58:52] the beginning. I have written unto you young men because you are strong and the word of God abides in you and ye have [58:58] overcome the wicked one. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, [59:04] the love of the father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes [59:10] and the pride of life, is not of the father, but of this world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof, but [59:16] he that does the will of God abides forever. Little children, it is the last time, and as you have heard, the [59:22] antichrist shall come. Anti- messiah going to come, he said. Watch this. Even now are there many [59:28] anti- messiahs whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not [59:33] of us. They went out from us, but what? They were not of us. Right? That's just how it is. He when [59:39] he's when he's judging, he's very simple, right? He's not over [59:45] complicating it. He's very simple. If you do the right thing, then you are [59:51] right. If you don't, then you're not [59:57] right. I'm not spending a whole bunch of time making a bunch of excuses for anybody to tell. This is what it is. So, [60:03] if they went out from us, what must that mean? They're not of us. You know what I'm saying? Like, they used to it used [60:10] to look like they was of us, but then they left. So, guess what? They must not have been of us. And if they came back, [60:17] guess what would happen? Oh, they're righteous. They're of us. You know what I'm saying? It's that simple. Like he [60:23] doesn't he I don't think he holding no grudges. I don't think I think he's just looking at very plain. It is exactly [60:30] what it is. Right. Keep going. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us. But [60:36] they went out that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have a unicorn uh you have a [60:42] uncction from the holy one. And ye know all things. I have not written unto you because you know not the truth, but [60:48] because you know it and that no lie is of the truth. M who is a liar but he that denies that [60:54] Yahosua is the Messiah. He is the anti- messiah that denies the father and the son. [60:59] Whosoever denies the son the same has not the father. But he that acknowledges the son has the father also. [61:06] Let that therefore abide in you which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you also [61:13] shall continue in the son and in the father. And this is the promise. So hold on. So look just how simple and [61:20] laid out here. If it's this, it's this. If it's not, it's not. He lays it out [61:28] for her. If you deny the father, you are the anti- messiah. All of us have heard [61:33] of the antichrist. And usually when we hear, guess what we think? It's going to be the end of the world. [61:40] It's revelations. It's going to be a guy who takes the throne of God and everyone wants to No. That him. You know what I'm [61:47] saying? All y'all some darn antichrist if you deny that he's the Messiah. It's [61:52] that simple. Like John's not playing with nobody. He's like, "Listen, we can look, you're [61:58] an antichrist and you're an antichrist. Like all y'all can be an antichrist." Like all if do is Yahua the Messiah? I [62:06] don't believe that. Okay, for sure. You too. It's that simple, right? Cuz he's just [62:12] looking at it literally. If you're against the Messiah, you are an anti- [62:17] messiah. Got it? Simple. Everything that he's saying in this book is simple. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love [62:24] it. Cuz it's like you go through Paul's stuff, you know? You y'all know I'm preferable to Paul. You know what I'm [62:30] saying? That's my man. You know what I'm saying? But you go through Paul's stuff and then you read his after and it just [62:37] like, oh, you know what I'm saying? Like you spend all this time getting deep like oh you got like seven Bibles open [62:43] trying to line stuff up based off of what Paul say and you feel like an expert and then he come and just be like [62:49] listen you see you're a sinner you know what I'm saying if you're righteous then you're righteous period and it's like oh [62:57] yeah I guess it is that simple isn't it right I don't need seven Bibles to do this I don't need to be a scholar I [63:03] don't need to be super smart anybody can understand the simplicity of God. Guess [63:09] what? If Keep going. He going to say it again. He He look He don't get enough of telling you. If you sin, you a sinner. [63:16] If you're righteous, then you right. He say it so many times in this book. I look like I got it. First time. First [63:22] time I really I'm like, I got it. I'm frustrated with the man like leave me [63:28] alone. I'mma get it together. Okay. Goodness gracious. Watch this. Keep going. These things Wait. And this is [63:34] the promise that he has promised us even eternal life. These things have I written unto you concerning them that [63:39] seduce you. But the anointing which you have received of him abideth in you. He need not that any man teach you. But as the [63:46] same anointing teaches you of all things and is truth and is no lie. And even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in [63:53] him. And now little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him [63:59] at his coming. What verse is that? 28. So that's that's the last verse. Keep [64:04] going. If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone that does righteousness is born of him. Right? So if you know that he's [64:11] righteous, he put you in a position. You believe he righteous, ain't he? You know what I'm saying? Cuz then cuz he put he [64:17] asked you if you know. So like, do you know Yahosua is righteous or not? Like, yeah. Yeah, I know he righteous. Okay, [64:23] cool. So if you know he righteous, then you know that anybody who does righteousness is born of him. [64:30] And then read the verse before that again. Now little children, abide in him that when he shall appear, we may have [64:36] confidence and not be ashamed before him before him at his coming. Right? So then he telling you, make sure [64:42] you abide in, in other words, remain in them. In other words, obey him because once you see him, your butt don't want [64:49] to be shamed. Now again, this is a letter. So now we're going to the next chapter. And [64:55] watch how the next chapter continues on with this exact same thought. A lot of times we read these chapters and we turn [65:01] our brain off to what just happened in the last chapter and read it like it's brand new. But now it's one big letter [65:06] that somebody came later and separated in the chapters. But when he wrote this, it was just one long letter that he [65:12] wrote. Right? Watch this. Behold what manner of love the father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth [65:19] us not because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we [65:26] know that when we when he shall appear, we shall be like him, but we shall see him as he is. Right? So, he's saying [65:33] he's telling you, he coming off the back of listen, when he show up now, you don't want to be shamed. And if you know [65:40] he righteous, then you know those who are righteous are just like him. Then he [65:45] goes into he says, "Listen, one day we going to see him. And when we [65:51] see him, we gonna be like him. And that's the hope that we have. Ain't that what he said? Read it again. What is [65:57] that? Verse two. Beloved, we now we are behold now we are the sons of God. And it does not yet [66:03] appear what we shall be. But we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. [66:08] And watch this. And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself even as he is pure. So now, how is a person to be purified? [66:18] You got to have this hope. What hope is he describing? The hope of seeing Yahushua one day. In [66:26] other words, the resurrection. Cuz we all going to be dead and gone. So then the hope that although we are dead, we [66:34] will see him is the hope that purifies us, right? [66:40] Grab real quick. Grab uh Psalm, what is that one? It's Psalm [66:48] where is it? Psalm 17. Psalm 17:13. [66:59] This is Psalm 17 verse 13 real quick. [67:07] Then after that, we gonna grab Romans 8 so we can talk a little bit about hope real quick. [67:14] This is Psalm 17 verse 13. Arise, oh Yahweh, dis disappoint him, [67:22] cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked which is thy sword. From men [67:27] which are thy hand, O Lord, of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fill with thy [67:34] hid treasure. They are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. [67:40] And watch this. As for me, I will behold thy face and heart. to ask for me. I will do what? Behold thy face in righteousness. [67:46] I'mma see your face in what? Righteousness. In righteousness. Watch this. I will be satisfied when I awake with [67:52] your life. When I do what? I'mma come back from the dead and I'mma be satisfied when I awake and see you. [68:03] John is not telling us anything new, right? This is the same faith that was [68:08] in the Psalms. But it's this hope that saves us. Watch [68:13] uh this is Romans chapter 8 22. [68:19] After that, we going to jump back into 1 John chapter 3. Cuz this chapter is a doozy. You know what I'm saying? This [68:24] chapter is a doozy. This is Romans chapter 8 verse 22. [68:32] Cuz Paul told us about hope. But we know that the whole creation groans and [68:38] travails in pain together until now. And not only they but ourselves also which have the first fruits of the spirit. [68:44] Even we ourselves grown within ourselves waiting for the adoption to wit the redemption of our body. Right? What do you think when he say the [68:50] redemption of our body? What is he talking about? Resurrection. The resurre all this is talking about the resurrection. So if a person is [68:56] sitting here and saying oh when you die you go to heaven. Is that the hope that the book told us to believe? [69:03] So if hope is the substance of things uh if faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of seeing [69:08] things not seen but the substance of our hope is different from the hope that come from the book and Romans 10 tells [69:14] us faith is come by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Where do we get the [69:20] hope from of dying and going to heaven? That's not written anywhere in the book. It never to tells you to hope for that. [69:26] That should never be the object of our hope. But if that is, then guess what? That's not the hope that purifies us. [69:34] Any hope that you have outside of the resurrection is not the hope that [69:41] purifies us. Let's see. [69:53] For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what a man seeth, why does he yet hope for? But if [70:00] we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it? Likewise, the [70:05] spirit also helps our infirmities. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought. But the spirit itself makes [70:11] intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. That's good. Go. Let's go back to uh 1 John chapter 3 [70:17] verse where we at three. Uh yeah, it's 1 John chapter 3:3. [70:30] And every man that has this hope in himself, hope in him purifies himself even as he is pure. [70:36] Mhm. [70:41] Whosoever committeth sin transgresses also the law. Right? If you commit a sin, you [70:46] transgress the law. Very simple. For sin is the transgression of the law. Right? Just like John chapter 3 that we [70:53] just read. uh somewhere around probably verse 16 17 probably 17 18 maybe it tell [71:00] us that you are condemned already right the reason for that is because of the [71:07] law right so anybody who commits a sin transgresses the law the law condemns [71:14] you because you committed that sin therefore you are condemned already watch this and you know that he was manifested to [71:21] take away our sins and in him no sin The purpose of Yahosua just like we read in John chapter 3, he [71:29] came to the world to save the world so that the world is not condemned. Right? So when you sin, you transgress the law [71:37] because sin is the transgression of the law. Yahosua was come to the world to [71:44] take away sin. Right? Keep going. And in him is no sin. Whosoever abides [71:52] in him sinnth not. So now if you remain in Yahushua, [71:58] he says you what? And if not, you do not sin. It's very simple. But he's not going to [72:05] stop there. Watch this. Whosoever sins has not seen him, neither known him. He said, "If you sin, [72:14] you have not seen him, nor have you known him, [72:20] little children." This is why it's important for us to say, "I have walked contrary to you and you have walked [72:28] contrary to me." Because sometimes we feel like, "I sin." But you know what? [72:33] God has been by my side the whole time. I tell you one thing, I know God. I know [72:39] him deep down in my heart. I may have made some mistakes, but I know him deep down in my heart. All those things come [72:46] from evil. It may sound humble. It may sound righteous, but it comes from evil. [72:52] And the reason is because the book is telling you if you sin, you have not [72:59] seen him, nor have you known him. It is that simple. It doesn't matter what you [73:05] think, what you know, what you heard. You have to understand. What did Ezekiel? We don't have to get it. We [73:11] don't have to get it. But didn't Ezekiel tell us in the 33rd chapter? Didn't he [73:17] tell us? No, it was 33. And in the 33rd chapter, he told us, "Even if I Yahw [73:24] told us through Ezekiel, even if I told you out my own mouth that you shall live. If you trust in your [73:32] righteousness after that, you shall surely die." That's God himself telling [73:38] you, you like, imagine that. Imagine the most high God popping up and telling you, you know what, you going to live. [73:45] You be sitting there like me? All right then. But then you turn around [73:52] and s after that man say you shall surely die. Like you lied to me. You know what I'm saying? Like what was that [73:58] about? No, he didn't lie to you. You lived. You lived your whole little life. Your butt going to die now. Because he [74:04] said even if I tell you from my own mouth that you shall live. If you trust [74:10] in your righteousness after that, you shall surely die. And this is telling [74:15] you the same thing. You think you know him. You think you think you seen him. You think you heard him. It means [74:21] nothing. What did Yahosua tell us in the seventh chapter of Matthew? We don't have to get it. In the seventh chapter of Matthew, he said, [74:27] "Part for me. I never knew you." He said, "Many shall come in that day," [74:33] saying that, "Have we not prophesied?" Didn't they not? How do you have a prophecy of the most high God didn't [74:39] appear to you and tell you that prophecy? Have we not done miracles in your name? [74:45] How do you do a miracle unless the most high God through the spirit comes into you and gives it to you? [74:53] And then after doing that, guess what he said? Wart from me. I never what? [75:00] You have to redefine the way that you look at stuff. You think the man interacted with you that he know you. He [75:06] telling you he don't. He look we always look for the grand thing. We look for despite. I want to touch your hand and [75:13] feel your side. That's what I want. He's telling you, blessed are the ones that [75:19] just know the book. Cuz if you know the book, you you you're not going to feel my side and go sin. [75:26] But if you if you feel his side and go sin, it's as good as you never knowing [75:32] him. He's telling you that. Where's that in uh Hebrews? Enlightened. [75:37] Uh once you've been enlightened, maybe chapter 10. Oh, I don't know, bro. [75:43] Try chapter 10 versus uh verse chapter 10. Maybe verse I'm thinking like No, it ain't that. No, it's it's it's [75:49] it's if it ain't 10, it's eight. It's 10 or eight. Give me Give me Let me [75:57] Let me shoot for 10. Give me uh verse 11. Maybe. [76:05] This is This is Hebrews chapter 10. Probably somewhere around verse 11. Where's Sister Pam at? Pam usually can [76:12] find it for me real quick. This is uh I want to say it's Hebrew 10. [76:18] If it ain't 10, I doubt if it's nine. Um once once you once you've been [76:23] enlightened, it's impossible for Yeah. Yeah. [76:29] Uh I think it is. Do you see it? I don't know. I think it's around here [76:38] there. I think it is one and six too. It might be 1 and 62. Yeah, it's uh [76:46] this is Hebrew chapter 10. [76:52] This one is if we willfully sin after we have received the knowledge. This is it. Yeah, this is it. This is what I'm looking for. It's another one [76:57] too. It should have it in the footnotes or something, right? Looking for [77:02] 664. See I think it's 64. I want both of them now. [77:07] This is the Let's do 64 first. I knew it was six. This is Hebrews chapter 6. [77:15] Enlightened to six. Yeah. Okay. For it is impossible for those who were [77:21] once enlightened. What is enlightened mean? Have the knowledge. The truth. [77:26] If you say a person is enlighten enlightened, that kind of mean like they know, right? They know. Huh? It's imper Look, it's [77:33] impossible to know, right? Keep going. It is impossible for those who were once enlightened [77:39] and have tasted the heavenly gift and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit and have tasted the good word of God and [77:44] the powers of the world to come if they should fall away to renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to [77:50] themselves the son of God aresh and put him to an open shame. You can't do it knowing God. [77:58] If you know God and you sin, you cannot be redeemed. [78:08] That's why the man is telling you if you sinned, you never knew him. It's your [78:14] pride that's going to keep you from entering into the kingdom because you can't admit that you never knew him. You [78:20] holding on to experiences. You holding on to things that you went through. You holding on to times and memories. [78:26] Everything in the past got to be nothing to you if you sin. There is no way to get into the kingdom. [78:32] He telling you that. Let's go to the other one. This is 10 verse what? This is Hebrews chapter 10 verse what? [78:42] I love this book. It ain't no way around. You know how many people read that verse and they stop reading the [78:47] Bible. They like it's just too confusing. How can how can I read the where it say it is impossible [78:55] after being enlightened and having taste of a heavenly things. All the things that these Christians are sitting in church and tell you you've you you've [79:01] saved now you are a new creature in the Lord. You are a partaker of heavenly [79:06] things. They tell you these things when you sitting in church. So you've been convinced by a pastor, not by the book. [79:12] You've been convinced by a pastor, I am a New Testament creature. That's what they be teaching you. I'm a New [79:18] Testament creature. That's me. Yep, that's right. That Bible is talking about me. Everything about you when [79:23] you're in a Christian church. Whole book is about you in the Christian church. When you got a real teacher of the most [79:29] high God, whole book is about Yahosua. See here talk. There ain't nothing in this book about you. [79:36] Book talking about Jeremiah. I know I I knew you before you were formed in the womb. Every Christian in the world think [79:42] God knew me. He didn't say that about your book. He talking about dear Jeremiah. You think he ain't know your butt? He [79:49] telling you he don't know you. Whole book telling you I don't know your [79:54] sin and butt and you going to sit there and say he knew me. You are rebellious. [80:00] Sit your butt down and admit I never knew the man cuz I was a sinner. And you know by saying that grace of the most [80:06] high God will be on you. You can enter the kingdom if you admit it. But you can't confess it because of [80:14] your pride and you don't even realize it. We sit here with pride in our hearts [80:19] and we don't realize it. We don't know it. It's humility to say you don't know God. [80:26] It's humility to say that I've never seen the man. This is uh Hebrews chapter [80:31] 10. What verse 26? Hebrews chapter 10 verse 26. Watch the book say. For if we sin willfully after [80:38] that we have received the knowledge of the truth. After we have received what? The knowledge of the truth. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. You mean to [80:44] tell me if I know and I sin willfully what will happen? [80:49] There remains no more sacrifice for sin. Man, come on man. Hold the both both of them is telling you the same thing. If [80:55] you enlightened, in other words, if you know, guess what? You can't come back [81:00] from that if you know. He telling here if you receive the knowledge of God, guess what? You cannot come back from [81:07] that if you sin willfully after that any you've never read that in a church. [81:14] You've never heard any Christian church in America stand in front of their congregation and read either one of [81:21] those. And do you know why? Because they don't know how to reconcile it with the other [81:28] things that they believe in the book. They in their mind I can't explain that. [81:34] I can't explain how the books say it's impossible after receiving the knowledge [81:40] because in their mind I have the knowledge. I know God. Let me tell you something. Let's go back to First John [81:46] chapter 3. I'm going to show you how to reconcile that. I'm about to show you how to make it all fit together. And [81:52] it's very simple. And it didn't start with First John. It actually started back in Leviticus chapter 26. But your [81:58] New Testament creature butt ain't never read that. [82:05] This is first This is firm. Go ahead. This is first um first John chapter 3 [82:13] verse uh what I want six. Oh yeah. 1 John chapter 3 verse 6. Watch what the [82:20] book say. Whosoever abides in him sinnth not. Whosoever sinnth has not seen him, [82:26] neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you. He that does righteousness is righteous. [82:32] So now if you believe what if you believe what what John say every time you sin, what would you say? I never [82:39] knew him. Now if you take what John say and say anytime that I sin, you know [82:45] what? Everything behind me, although I thought I knew him, although I thought I had a memory of him, all I thought I thought I thought I thought a lot of [82:51] stuff. If you take what John say and say, you know, all that mean nothing. I actually never knew the man, nor have I [82:57] seen him. That vision I had wasn't him. Don't matter. I'm moving forward from here on out. And for real now, I'm about [83:03] to repent. Then guess what? Don't even hit you no more. When Hebrews write to you and tell you, anybody who's been [83:09] enlightened, they ain't talking about me. I ain't been enlightened. I never knew the man. When Hebrew tell you, if [83:15] you willfully sin after the knowledge, I ain't got no knowledge. I thought I did, but I sin. John told me I never knew the [83:21] man and I believe him. That ain't talking about me. It's not talking about me because I don't know him. I just [83:28] learned about the man. I just start I just repent. I didn't repented 17 times in my life. I was [83:35] lying every time except this one because I'm serious this time. And guess what? [83:40] If you believe it like John tell you, Hebrews ain't talking about you. [83:46] But if you got pride in your heart and you say, "I see." Then guess what? [83:52] Your sin remains. Your sin remain, boy. It ain't no way around it. [83:57] Ain't no way around it. You take your Christian butt to every cross you darn see and kiss it. And your butt going [84:03] right to the darn pit. Keep going. [84:08] I ain't talking about y'all Hebrews, too. Y ain't getting off. Got the darn the darn the the star of David. You got [84:16] the nerve to tell me that's David Star. You've never read nothing in our history or in a book that told you that David [84:23] wore a star. You just going to pop up that line and put that sin on that man. [84:28] Your butt going to hell, too. Going right to the darn fire. Little children, let no man deceive you. [84:34] He that does righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous. I can't stand a darn Hebrew Israelite cuz it just like [84:40] the Hebrew Israelite is worse to me cuz it's like you spend your whole time in Christianity and you get frustrated that [84:46] you was in Christianity and then you go become twice the sinner as a Christian by messing up the word in the other [84:52] direction cuz you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Let me understand something. So you just [84:59] so I I just want I'm not g I'm not gonna [85:04] I'm not gonna No, ask your question. It's all right. No, ask your question. You can tell him whatever you want. Ask your question. You're saying that if a person sin, they [85:12] did not know him. Or are you saying Am I saying that or or is that what you just read? Saying that's what the word is saying. [85:19] That a person that's sin. I'm saying that's what the word is saying. That does not know him. [85:24] I'm saying that's what we just read in 1 John 3. Person have confessed Christ, right? But [85:31] then they sin. They didn't know Christ. That's right. I'm saying that's what the word is saying. [85:38] All right, keep going. [85:45] He was gonna fight. Go for it. Go for it. That's what I do. [85:52] I said, "Go for it." You know what I'm saying? It's easy. It's easy. I ain't got to say, "Look, [85:59] read 1 John chapter 3 verse 6. What? [86:04] Who? Whosoever abides in him sinnth is not. Whosoever. If you sin, if you abide, if you in him, what that mean? [86:11] You don't sin. Sin is not. Whosoever sin has neither. He who has sinnth has not [86:17] seen him neither known it. He said, "If you sinned ever, he who sinnth has not seen him." [86:23] If you're sinning, guess what? But what if I got saved first? What if in 1999 [86:30] on a bright sunny day, the Lord came down when I was walking into this Christian church with a cross on top of [86:37] it and it was a pickled Jesus hanging from the thing like this and I saw Jesus come down and move his head and look at [86:44] me and he said, "Today you are saved." And then he went back to sleep on the darn thing, the little white Jesus. And [86:50] I walked in. I said, "Today, I know I was saved cuz Jesus, the white one, looked me right in the eye and told me I [86:56] was sin." Listen, what if you got that experience? But no, all jokes aside, what if that really happened? You felt [87:03] it. You experienced it. Can't nobody tell you you didn't have that experience and you know it was real and you know [87:09] God touched you, but then you sin after it. If you believe what we just read, [87:14] what do you do with your thoughts? Do you say, "I know him." Or do you say, "I [87:20] don't?" That is all. That's the only question we all got to ask ourselves. You ain't got to tell me. That's the [87:25] question that we all have to ask ourselves. Do we believe what we just read or not? Cuz the man tell you if you [87:32] are sinning then guess what? I don't care how you try to if you are [87:39] sinning that means what? You never known him nor [87:45] have you seen him. There's no other way around it. There's no other way to twist it because if you see it, listen, the [87:52] most high God does this very well. He sets traps all through the book, right? So, let's say you don't see it that way. [88:00] Let's say you want to interpret it a different way. Now, you fell into his trap because now you got to deal with [88:05] Hebrew. You know what I'm saying? It's like, no matter how you Okay, cool. So now you said you know because Jesus [88:12] looked down you from the from the cross at that Christian church and he looked at you and winked at you and was like you saved and went back to sleep on you. [88:19] You had that experience and now you know him and you know can't nobody tell you that Jesus ain't by your side and always [88:25] been by your side your whole life. Well now Hebrew going to tell you and you sin [88:30] again after that. Huh? Willfully. Now you got to play with the word willfully. [88:36] Well, I mean, I did it, but I kind of didn't know what I was doing when I was having sex with that girl that wasn't my [88:42] wife. So, now you change it to I ain't chang No. Did I change it or is that [88:48] I'm saying did I change it or is that what Hebrews said? Well, this here's the problem I have [88:54] now. Got it's going to be a lot of problems. Let's go. First John, he he laid out You said he laid it [89:01] out straight. Very, very clear. That if you say and we ain't done. If you say that you [89:08] have not seen, that's right. Right. Yeah. If you say you you say you never sinned, that's crazy. [89:14] It may make you a liar. You're a liar if you say you never sin. The word itself. That's right. Because it's saying that you are a [89:19] sinner. No, no, no. That's not what he said. We can go back to it if you want. That's not what he That's not what he said. Hold on. No, no, hold on. Let's just be [89:26] clear about what he said. He didn't say He didn't say if you're currently sinner, it make you a liar. He said if [89:31] you say you have not sinned, then you're a liar. So if a person say, we talked about it already, we just went over it. We looked at a Bible verse. We [89:37] proved it out. What he said was, if you say that you've never sinned, then you're a liar. And we went to [89:43] Ecclesiastes chapter 7 where Ecclesiastes, he also confirms that there is no man that does good without [89:51] sinning. So he's telling you everybody has sinned. Now, if we go to Romans [89:56] chapter 3, he'll tell you, we don't have to get it, but in Romans chapter 3, it tells you very clearly that Yahosua came [90:04] to do what? With what sins? And he take away the sins. What sins though? All sin. [90:11] Yep. No, it says your, you can go read it yourself. It says Romans chapter 3, I forget what verse. It says your past [90:18] sins. So now if I sinned and I say that I did not sin, I'm a [90:25] liar. If I sin and I turn away from that sin, I am walking with Yahosua. If I [90:33] then sin again and I say that I know him, I am a liar [90:40] because I never known him just like he just said and never seen him just like [90:45] he just saying. Again, these are not my words. It's just the book. If we gotta fight, it got to be with the book. [90:51] Can I go back and read? You can read whatever you want. We about to move on though. My brother died. Look at him. [90:58] That's what I talking about. Yeah. I heard everything. This is uh this is uh [91:04] Yeah. Go ahead and read it after. This is uh this is uh verse eight. That's all right. It's more [91:09] though. It's more. So the what I what I love about this is he ain't gonna stop. You know what I'm saying? Like he's not [91:15] gonna stop telling you exactly what it is. So they it just it put it it's a personal thing. We all just got to deal with it and say, "Do I believe a book or [91:22] not?" And that's a s that's a simple question for all of us. Do I believe it as it's written or not? Save everybody [91:30] else time. Ain't no sense in here fighting about the word. You either believe it or you don't. Right. Keep [91:35] going. He that commits sin is of the devil. For the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the son of God was [91:41] manifested. That he who keeps committing sin. He that commits sin is of the devil. He who practices committed sin. [91:48] That commits sin is of the devil. He that commits sin more than three times within a certain period. [91:54] He that commits sin is of the devil. Y'all, we put all that extra stuff on it. The man just telling you if you sin, [91:59] you're of the devil. It's very, look, John is not playing with no. It's very [92:04] simple. Watch this. For the devil was for the devil sinnth from the beginning. [92:11] For this purpose the son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil. Mhm. Whosoever is born of God does not commit [92:17] sin. Here we go again. Seed remains in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God. So, so according to John, he take it a [92:24] step further. He tell you not only do you not know the man if you sin, he telling you if you if you are born of [92:33] him, you cannot sin. So, it's different from what the Christian tell us. It's [92:38] impossible to stop sinning. He's telling you it's impossible to start sinning again if you are born of his seed. So [92:46] what does that tell you? Your your our pride, right, can resist that. And we [92:52] can say, you know what, that's not what that mean. Or it can tell you, you know [92:58] what, this is God's indicator to let me know by the grace of his word that I am [93:04] not ready to die yet. Because if I die in the state that I'm in with the sin that I just committed, I would have been [93:11] told, "Depart from me. I never knew you." [93:16] We don't even recognize that this is the grace of the most high God. It hurt because it attacks our pride. That's why [93:22] it hurt. We want to hold on to I know I'm not the best, but I tell you what, [93:27] God always been by my side. We want that. It's comforting. We've used that lie to comfort ourselves throughout our [93:34] entire life. Right. So then what God does is he he [93:40] has a word that's like a double-edged sword. So he's trying to when the word listen, we we have so many bad teachers [93:49] that have tried to muffle and and and and and put uh what they call put [93:54] paddent on on the sword of the word to soften it for us. So now we think the [94:01] word is soft. So when somebody teach the word straight up and down like John and [94:06] he just tell you this what it is, this what it ain't. It's not effective because we looking like oh that can't be [94:12] the word. So we dodging the sword that's going to save us, right? But in reality [94:17] he's telling you straight up and down. There's no wiggle room. If you sin you [94:23] are of who? The devil. And if you are born of God you what? [94:29] It is that simple. So now if I'm sinning, guess what? Dang it, I'm still at the devil. And I don't know the man, [94:36] nor have I seen him. But guess what else? That means I wasn't enlightened. So if I [94:43] willfully sin after this, that means I can still be seen. So now I have to make [94:50] a decision to confess that I have walked contrary to you and you have walked [94:55] contrary to me. And in doing that, there is hope for me. [95:02] And you will know when you born of God because guess what's going to happen? You can't sin no more. [95:09] It's that simple. The part that's difficult is the lies we've been told. It ain't nothing wrong. [95:16] We got years of sitting in these churches lying. We shouldn't be ashamed. [95:21] We shouldn't be This is what happens when people lie to us our whole life. Of course, we going to believe wrong stuff. [95:28] Of course, this stuff is going to be uncomfortable and difficult. You've never heard, you're never going to hear [95:33] a lot of this stuff. You that verse, what verse that? 10 8. You're never going to hear First John 8. [95:41] I I mean, uh, chapter 3:8. You're never going to hear it in the church. No church in America is ever going to read [95:48] that out in the church. Christian church at least won't read what out. [95:54] It's never going to happen. And the reason is because they can't explain it. They cannot reconcile that against what [96:01] they teach. They can't tell you on one hand, God loves you no matter what you do. Let me tell you, God is never going [96:08] to leave you. You come up to the front of our church. Once you come, you come sit right here. Say this prayer with me. [96:14] From this point, God is always by your side. You can't teach a person that and then tell them if you sin, you have the [96:21] devil. And if you born of God, you cannot sin. That me those messages don't [96:27] go together. It will confuse people. So, you know what they gonna focus on? They gonna focus on grace. They're going to f [96:34] focus on forgiveness. They're going to focus on Jesus Christ and nothing else. [96:39] They going to focus on a whole bunch of silly stuff that ain't in the Bible. And then guess what's going to happen? They [96:44] going to make every person that sit there dumber than them and go right into the right into the fire. But when a man [96:52] of God, and I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about the book. When a man of God write it very clearly for us, if [96:59] we accept it because we believe believe who he is, we believe that he was an apostle. We believe that that that the [97:06] that the Messiah sat next to him and called him someone that he loved. We [97:12] believe that he witnessed them and handled them. We believe that he's a credible person who wrote this down. We [97:18] believe that this man is of our people and taught the truth. If we believe [97:24] that, then there's nothing for us to say, "Okay, I understood it wrong." [97:29] And that is the grace of God. A lot of the stuff they try to teach us is not the grace of God. That is the grace of [97:34] God. It's the grace of God for you to have the ability to say, "I never knew him." I know it sound wild, but saying I [97:43] never having the ability to say I never knew him is the grace of God. [97:49] So I just let let me hear you say this again. You're saying I'mma use you. [97:55] She say she know Jesus. You sin today. Did you sin today? [98:03] So that means she don't know. You sin today? [98:08] Yeah. You don't know him and you never knew him and you never seen him. [98:14] That's not scripture. Okay, let's keep going. This is verse verse nine. [98:21] You verse nine. You read whatever you look you that's just let me tell you something else [98:26] and John ain't done. We going to read it again before we get out of here. This uh this verse nine. [98:32] Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin for his seed remains in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God. [98:38] Look how he just don't stop saying it. He not going to stop. Like it don't matter. It don't matter. Yeah. He got He [98:44] got a couple more. He got a couple more. Listen. Listen. It don't matter how any of us [98:50] feel about it. He said what he said. So now it's up to [98:55] us to say, is that true or is it not? And the only way to say I believe a book [99:00] and say it's not true, then you got to say you got to play the same game the devil do, right? Because what the what does the [99:06] devil do in the beginning? He said, "You will not surely die." [99:13] And you can make a case that Satan was telling the truth [99:18] because in that day, they didn't surely die. In fact, Adam lived almost a thousand years, right? But the [99:26] definition of die, separation, the definition of die, oo, that's where [99:34] that's where Satan worked. He did his work in the definition to [99:39] die. Satan used the physical definition to die. And nothing about God is [99:45] physical. So now when we look at this, [99:51] the only way to say I believe the Bible is you going to have to change some of these definition. Somebody going to have [99:56] to look at it and be like when he say never knew him because you sin. Well, sinnth means like you're continuously [100:04] for the rest of your life sinning. No, that's not what he said. Well, [100:09] sinnth means No, sinnth means sin. So, yes, if I sin today, guess what? [100:15] According to this, I never knew him. Ain't no way around it. Why? What? Why would you even want to find a way around [100:21] it? Because if you find a way around that, then how you going to find a way around Hebrews? [100:26] This is the way around Hebrews. It's like it's like it's like the prophecy of Amos. What Amos tell us? Amos said Amos [100:34] said the day of Yahwh is like running. What did he say? What is the day of Yahweh to you? Is [100:40] like as if a man ran from a lion in a bare metal. Yeah, that's what if you try to get around this one, you got to run right [100:46] into Hebrews and that's going to get you. That's even worse. The best thing to do is say, "Okay, I [100:52] got I'll take this one." What y'all would tell us? He say you got two options. [100:58] You can fall on the rock and be broken or the rock can fall on you and you be [101:04] crushed and ground to a powder. We have to choose. Look, it's going to hurt something. [101:10] Ask this. Have you sinned today? Oh my goodness. I just got to ask you a You didn't sin [101:15] at all today? Not today. No. So, what we going to quiz everybody on sin? Is that Let's say Okay, hold on. Hold on. Let's say I sin today. What? [101:23] I Let's say I sin today. And so, you don't know. I don't know them. I'm sitting up here teaching the word. I'm sitting up here. [101:28] I I be I got video 300. If I sin today, guess what? I don't know the man. You [101:36] making it about me. It should be about us. It should be about us as individuals. It should be a personal thing with you. [101:43] Most high God has given you a way out. Why would we discourage people from taking it when we read it in the word? [101:49] Why would you not? But you not you really Let me ask you. Let me turn it on you. [101:55] I I don't care if you sin today. If you did sin today, though, do you know God? [102:00] Absolutely no. Okay, let's keep going. That's it. I don't have no There's no interest in me cuz I mean it if if he he said confess [102:08] my sin. Okay, got it. So, okay. So, you got Listen, if No, I don't I [102:13] don't have an interest in going I have an interest in teaching. I don't have an interest in arguing and going back and forth. That's not what I'm interested [102:19] in. Okay. But you got it. You understand? you read it and what you came away said it's okay for you to say what you just [102:25] said and if that's the case then he said if you practice it okay that's what you read keep going we [102:31] reading King James version not the new standardized Christian I don't know what you got going on over there cuz I ain't seen no practice [102:39] keep going and even if it was practice what that change but okay hold on let me ask you this question what's the difference [102:44] between if if you sin today that's not practicing sin if you practicing it it's just like [102:50] going into that gym. I I just got to say this. Practicing it is just like going in that gym. You may go and pick them [102:57] weights up one time, right? You have but not in practice. Excuse me. You You not practicing by [103:03] going in there and pick those weights up, right? But if you go in there continually, what's continually? Like every day, [103:10] once a week, once a month? Every day. Going in there picking. So, it got to be every day. Going in there picking up. [103:16] If I go three times a week, is that practicing picking up those weights? I'm asking you if I go three times a week, is that [103:22] practicing? Let her finish. Yeah, let me finish. If you go If I go three times a week, very clear. [103:28] I'm just asking the question. If I go three I because I got I have time. I have a camera on and I got to go. [103:34] Listen, if I go just answer the question, yes or no. If I go three times a week, is that practicing? Yes. [103:39] If I go one time a week, is that practicing? Every week I go to the gym, it's not [103:44] practicing. Zahar right now has a practice that he goes every week. Is that practice [103:50] continual continual right is a practice it's continual but because I don't practice today does [103:58] not mean does not it does not it does not clear everything [104:03] so for sin how often does it have to happen I'm asking for sin in your view and I'm going to ask you to prove it in [104:09] your view how I think the the what is consecration let me ask that can I can I just finish my question for [104:16] sin in your view real quick. In your view and sin, I'm [104:21] going to ask you to prove it in the book next, right? And take I want you to take your time to do it. We'll get back to it. But in your view, how many times [104:29] does a person have to sin for it to be considered a practice based off of what [104:35] you're trying to teach right now? How many times would they have to sin to for it to be considered practice? Does [104:42] it have to be once a week? Does it have to I need a number. Give me something specific. something that look if you [104:47] gonna be a teacher I need you to tell the people something specific that they can use [104:52] what okay what if I define continually that you do continually what if I define continually as one time [105:00] what what's your name again Tia if t if God tell you [105:05] why you keep using her use you okay if God tell me that I am lying [105:13] and I continue to lie Mhm. Then I don't know him. Okay. [105:18] But if he tell me what if you cuss. I don't cuss though. I know. I'm I'm saying what if you cuss. [105:25] You cussed. Today you don't cuss. But today you cuss it and it slipped and it slipped and it was one time. [105:31] That's not a practice. That's not a practice. But what if it slipped again the next day? If I slipped. Is that a practice? [105:37] No. But what if it slipped? No. I'm not talking about what you will do. I'm saying what if it slipped today. It [105:42] slipped tomorrow. I'm trying to define what practice means. Telling you this here. If you practice [105:49] it. Okay. So, you don't have a definition of practice. I'mma continue on. I'm trying to change. Listen, I'm not trying to do anything. [105:55] What I'mma do? I know. You do not know him. We about to get back to the book. Break in your behavior. [106:01] Jump back in. We not going to do this no more. This is uh this is uh first where [106:06] we at? I'm go. It's what? Chapter 3. This is first first John 3:9. Now watch [106:13] what the book say. Who whosoever is born of God does not commit sin for his seed remains in him [106:19] and he cannot sin because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest and the children of the devil. Whosoever [106:25] does not righteousness is not of God neither has he neither he that loves not his brother. [106:31] It's very clear. Keep going. This is verse uh chapter five. Go back. We not going back. [106:36] Uh verse one starting at five. Mom, I have to ask you to stop. have heard from him and declared to you. They [106:44] heard it from God and they're declaring it now to the people. What verse is that? Right. This is over in uh chapter one [106:50] starting at verse five. I'm at six now. I mean at the bottom of five that God is [106:56] light and in him there is no darkness. There's no darkness in him. We already went through what darkness was. We went to John chapter 3. Evil [107:03] deeds evil with him and walk in darkness. We lie and do not practice. So [107:10] that means if you have evil deeds and you say you fellowship with him, you lie. And and if you fellowship what you know [107:16] that fellowship is that you are abiding with him that you abiding with him means that you're obedient to his commandments. [107:22] You are abiding with him or you are at least in fellowship with him like it means that you are you don't have to [107:28] try to it means you're keeping his commandments just like he said in chapter two. We can get that too if you want. We read all this already [107:34] that we have fellowship with him and we walk and and and walk in darkness. We we lie. Grab chapter five for me. Practice [107:42] truth. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with [107:47] him and no one that um and no one or and no and and with another and the blood of [107:54] Jesus his son cleanse us from all sin. So now either either in that he said if [108:01] you walk with others like I'm in fellowship with you. I'm in fellowship with God. He said the blood of Jesus [108:09] cleanses you from sin. Not not not nothing you do. He cleanses you from [108:15] sin. Can we continue put you in a position with him, Phillip? And you probably read that already. [108:20] Can we did we just read it? Do you want do you can we continue? Okay. Yeah, you can go ahead. This is uh we going to jump into uh [108:27] chapter what is this? First this is first uh first John chapter 3 verse [108:34] five. You mean we gonna skip four? You on chapter three. Um I'm sorry. Chapter four. Chapter five [108:41] verse one. Go ahead. Whosoever believes that Yosua is the Messiah is born of God. And everyone [108:48] that loves him that begott that him that begott loveth him all. Actually, sorry. Let's jump back and for [108:54] all the four. We gonna try to shoot through four real quick. This is uh 1 John 4:7. [109:03] This is First John chapter 4. Give me verse seven. I'm try to shoot through it real quick. Let us love one another. For love is of [109:09] God, and everyone that love is born of God and knows God. He that loves not knoweth not God. For God is love. And [109:16] this was manifested the love of God toward us because that God sent his only begotten son into the world that we [109:22] might live through him. Herein is love, not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his son to [109:28] be a propitiation for our sins. Mhm. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought [109:33] also to love one another. No man has seen God at any time. No man has what? Seen God at any time. [109:38] Okay. If we love one another, God dwells in us and his love is perfected in us. What was the point in saying that? No [109:44] man has seen God at any time. But if we love one another, right? What happened? [109:50] God dwells in us and his love is perfected in us. What is he saying to us at that point? Right? No man has seen God. Why did he [109:57] emphasize that and say, "But if we love one another, then God dwells in us." [110:03] Right? What is he saying to us? What did Yahosua say when they say, [110:10] "Show us the father. You seen him in the sun." He said, "Yeah, you seen him in me." You [110:15] said, "You see me." So what John is trying to tell us is he said, "Nobody's seen God." But if you are obedient to [110:22] God, in other words, if you love God, right? If you are obedient to God, then that's your vision of God, right? You [110:29] get to see God in all of us because we all keep his commandments. If we are all [110:34] godly when we see him, he said, "Look, that is the closest you going to get until we see the man." [110:40] Keep going. Watch this. Hereby know we that we dwell in him and he in us because he has given us of his [110:46] spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the father sent the son to be the savior of the world. Mhm. [110:51] Whosoever shall confess that Yahosua is the son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God. [110:56] And we have known and believe the love of God has to us. God is love, [111:01] and he that dwells in dwells in love dwells in God and God in him. Hearing is our love made perfect that we [111:08] may have boldness in the day of judgment. Because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love. [111:14] Perfect love casts out all fear. Cast out fear because fear has torment. He [111:19] that fears is not made perfect in love. We love him because he first loved us. If a man say, "I love God," and hates [111:26] his brother, he is a liar. He that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he [111:32] has not seen? See, so now he's tying back the point that he told you earlier. He's saying [111:37] you, nobody has seen God. But if you love your neighbor, if you love the people around you that's keeping the [111:44] word, then those people are your reflection of God. He's telling you that. Then he goes back and he comes [111:50] back and he says, "If you don't if you say you love God but you love not your brother, you're a liar because you [111:57] haven't seen God and you hate your brother." Right? Keep going. And this commandment have we from him [112:03] that he who loves God loves his brother also. This is uh chapter five. Give me [112:13] Y'all know at the at the beginning, we going to skip it, but at the beginning, you know, they try to they try to use the beginning of chapter five for the [112:18] trinity. What it say? It's like, you know what I'm saying? It's one witness in heaven, one witness. What was it? [112:24] One, I forgot. Go. We ain't got to read it, though. Let's skip it because I'mma go off if I read that. Uh, go um [112:33] go to verseh. What verse I want? 18. What's the last [112:39] verse? Like 20some 26 21. No, it's it ain't 18 then. Give me like give me like verse 14 maybe. [112:46] This is first first John 5:14. Watch what the book say. And this is the confidence that we have [112:52] in him. That if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever [112:59] we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. If any man see his brother a If any man see his [113:07] brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto [113:13] death. There is a sin unto death. I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin. And there is a [113:19] sin. He said all what? Unrighteousness is sin. So all unrighteousness is what? [113:25] Sin. And what else? And there is a sin not unto death. And there is a sin that's not unto [113:30] death. What is that sin that's not unto death? Is there only one sin that's not onto death? [113:37] Cuz that's a Listen, I've argued with people over this one a bunch of times, too. Right. So, he said there is a sin [113:44] that's onto death. Did you say a or a bunch? There is a sin not unto death. [113:49] No, no, before that. There is a sin unto death. So, there is a sin unto death. that if [113:56] you read that in today's language, you would think he's talking about there's only one sin that you can commit that [114:02] will cause you to die. And then he come back later and he says there is a sin not unto death. That would lead you to [114:09] believe that there's only one sin that you can commit and still live. [114:14] I'm telling you that's not what he's saying. He's saying there are sins that you can commit that don't lead to your [114:20] death and there are sins that you can commit that will lead to your death. Right. And now our question is how who [114:28] determines what are these sins? How can I find the list of these sins? What are the sins that will lead you to death? [114:39] Well, I'll let you guys know. You can find those sins in Mark chapter 7, right? In Galatians chapter 5, [114:46] 1 Corinthians, 1 Corinthians chapter 6, Ephesians chapter 5, and Revelation chapter 22. [114:52] The same thing we go over every darn Bible study, right? These are the sins [114:58] that lead to death. These are the commandments that Yahosua said you have [115:03] to turn away from thee. Right? Sin is transgression of the law. But there are [115:09] sins that will not lead you to. If you break the Sabbath, that will not lead you to death. If you eat pork, that will [115:16] not lead you to death. However, if you cheat on your wife, that will lead you [115:22] to death. Right? If you lie, that will lead you to death. If you get to calling yourself [115:29] and separating yourself as a denomination, I know it may seem petty. It may not seem like a big deal, but [115:35] guess what the books say? That will lead you to death. Talking about some darn Pentecostal church, okay? All y'all, [115:41] everybody who you Pentecostal, too, you two, too. Okay, all y'all going there. And division will lead you onto death. [115:48] Division will lead you onto death, right? Ungodly division, right? [115:53] Everything about the book is division. What what's the first thing the most high God popped up and said to us? [115:58] Repent for the kingdom of heaven is there. Well, that's the first thing Yahosua said. Most high God said, "Be holy." [116:04] What holy mean? So everything about the book is division, right? But it's ungodly [116:09] division. you divide yourself away from God's word. If you go to the people of [116:14] the most high God and start making division amongst the people with nothing that got to do with God's word, if you [116:20] walk in and start lying about God's word, that's the division that'll send us to the fire. That's the division we [116:26] got to repent from. Right? If you playing with magic and horoscopes and [116:31] and and voodoo and all that stuff, that's going to send you to the fire. These are the sins that lead to death. I [116:39] don't care how petty you think they are. If you cuss, that's going to lead you to the fire. [116:45] Right? These are the things that if you say it and you do it, you don't know God. [116:52] And that's the grace of God telling you that, right? That's the only way to get into the kingdom. Ain't no other way. You [116:59] know what I'm saying? Until you confess that, it ain't no other way to get into the kingdom. Until you confess what? [117:04] That you don't know God. If you're a sinner, keep going. We know that whosoever is born of God sinnth not. [117:09] He said, "Oh, he's saying it again. No, we must be back in chapter three." [117:16] How do we How do we bring chapter 3 all the way to chapter 5? He must be serious about this point he trying to make. He [117:22] I'm starting to get the impression that John don't want anybody to be deceived [117:28] about this very important point. He says it again in chapter 5. Let's read it. [117:34] We know that whosoever is born of God sinnth not. He that is begotten of God keeps himself and that wicked one [117:41] touches him not. So that means the wicked one hold on we said at the beginning I said [117:49] what where does what did I ask? I think I said where does sin come from or where does sin get his power or something like [117:54] that and half the room said the devil. And we right about that. I was going for [118:00] the law from which the devil gets, you know, gets his strength because he can he can he can try to cause you to go [118:05] against God's commandment. But you're right, it's the devil. If this say the wicked one touches him not, that means [118:13] if you sin one time, who caused you to sin? Who you going to put it on? [118:19] Got to be the devil. And that mean if you godly and knowing God sin one time, you didn't practice it. You did sin one [118:25] time. Who touched you? Devil. Even the kids know it. So if the [118:30] devil touched you and the book just said he touches you not. Read it again. [118:37] Whole book say the right thing. I It's only us that fight against the book. But he that is begotten of God keepethst himself and that wicked one touches him [118:44] not. You can't be touched by Satan if you born of God. He can't touch you if you born of God. And I'm not talking about [118:50] touching your skin. Nothing about the the nothing about the gospel is physical. He can make you sick. He can [118:57] make your butt die. He can do all types of stuff to you physically. A lot of people try to teach you Satan can't kill [119:03] you. That ain't true. How you gonna say Satan can't kill you? And then Job, he [119:08] told he told Job, he told Job, "Don't touch Job." And what he do instead of touching Job? [119:14] He went after his kids. He killed every one of that that man's kids. He killed every one of that man [119:20] kids. How you going to tell Satan can't kill? Satan kill your butt in a darn second. Your butt just better be ready [119:25] when he do. And you can be a righteous man and he'll kill you. You can be doing nothing wrong and he'll kill your butt. [119:31] And guess what? Your butt better be ready when he kill. A lot of people run their mouth about [119:37] what Satan can and can't do. We better focus on what the most high God told you to do. [119:42] That he he come but to kill, steal, and destroy. [119:47] These people just tell lies all day and all we do is we sit here and we we regurgitate these things. We got to do a [119:54] mental audit. We got to get this stuff out of us. All these lies that we heard [119:59] that's swirling around in our brains, we got to get it out because that is where our that's the path. [120:07] We got to find a path. We've lied so much to get to where we are that you can't make it back. [120:16] That's what's important. You got to be able to say this is in the book and this ain't in the book. I don't care what you [120:23] think you believe. If it's contrary to what the book is saying, stop talking. [120:29] Just re-evaluate and humble yourself to the book. Not to me, not to brother T, [120:34] not to Sister Tia, not to my mama, not to my son, not to anybody else. It only [120:40] comes to humble yourself. Do it privately. You ain't got to say nothing to nobody. Nobody got to know anything. [120:46] Go in your closet and say, "I don't know, God. I thought I knew all these [120:52] years, but I just don't know. Can you help me, man? I promise you, he'll listen to you. He'll hear that prayer. [121:02] But if you say you see, he'll s remain. Keep going. Finish our uh [121:08] We know that we are of God and the whole world lies in wickedness. We know that the son of God has come and has given us [121:13] an understanding that we may know him that is true. And we are in him that is true, even in his son, Yahosua, the [121:19] Messiah. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. [121:28] This is uh this is the end of f uh first John. [121:34] Next week, the sister the sister just got on me. She said, "No, we need verse one." Verse one or what? [121:41] What verse one say? Go back to verse one. I don't look I don't like verse one. Oh, I don't know if I I don't know [121:47] if it verse one. I don't like the one that they be using it for the trinity. That might be like verse two or three. [121:53] What verse one? Believes that Yoshua is the is the Messiah is born of God and everyone that [121:58] loves him that begott loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God when we [122:04] love God and keep his commandments. Oh yeah. No, that's good. That's good. Yeah, we could have read that one. We could read it all. But uh we g we gonna [122:11] uh next week go into second John and Third John. Those are real short books. [122:19] Um, and then we'll probably come back and revisit some of First John. Uh, [122:24] probably a little bit in I think so we skipped a little bit in chapter four and chapter 5. So we'll kind of revisit some of that. Um, and then so next next study [122:32] will probably be short because after this is going to be Revelations and I'm not going to want to cover John and then [122:38] jump into Revelations. I'm going want to start with Revelation. So next study might be short. Uh, also this weekend is [122:44] the day of atonement. So, we are fasting from uh Sabbath night, Sabbath evening [122:51] to Sunday evening, evening to evening. We're going to do 24-hour fast. Feel free to fast more than that, but the day [122:57] of atonement calls for a one-day fast from evening to even um and uh pray, of [123:03] course, as always, pray for the people, right? Pray that our that that that the people is enlightened, that the people [123:10] are awakened, that the people turn from their sin, that the most high God expresses himself to the people because [123:16] we know anybody that he draws will come to him, right? And those who he draw go [123:22] to the son and the son will raise them up on the last day and that's the hope that we have. So, uh, keep the prayers [123:28] for the people, right? It's a it's a it's a long fight. It's not it's not a [123:33] fight that's that's over in one night and one week. We can't get wary. We can't We got to be consistent. [123:39] Everything we got to do is consistent. And any break in consistency is inconsistency, [123:45] right? There's no other way around it. Got to be consistent. That's what that's what all this is about. I appreciate the [123:51] brothers and the sisters that's reading every day. I appreciate the brothers and sisters that attend the the the studies. [123:57] I appreciate the brothers and sisters that continue in righteousness and hold the self accountable. This is necessary. [124:03] This is this is righteousness. This is this is how we enter this is how we gain interest into the kingdom. This is how [124:10] we see the mark of God's life on our uh God's uh work in our life. Right? It all [124:15] comes through our behavior. At the end of the day, we will be judged by what we [124:21] do, not what we not what we think, right? We will be judged by what we do. [124:26] He will weigh the heart and in the heart the doings. That's what he says, the [124:32] doings. Right? Keep that in mind. Do we have any questions? [124:40] Will you have a study? Uh, no. I don't think we having a a Day of Atonement study this year. [124:48] I don't think so. Um, I'm probably going to be studying. I'm not I'm still going to be on the ban app. Most of I think [124:55] some of the time that we fast, I I try to like get away from all the apps and stuff, but I'm still going to be on the ban app. So, y'all might see me a lot [125:01] cuz I ain't going to have to work. I ain't doing nothing. I might see a whole bunch of post me all the stuff I'm [125:06] studying, but um but no, we probably won't be doing a a Day of Atonement [125:11] study. We'll see. [125:17] Any questions? Any other questions? Let me see what else I might have missed up here. [125:24] Are you um um So, this weekend you're not doing anything other than the F, [125:31] right? Why? And the next week next week is the the week of [125:38] tabernacles. So are you are we outside? [125:43] No, not this year. I ain't got no money. I ain't got no money. [125:48] So we go out. We probably could have if I tried to raise a little earlier. It's too short [125:54] notice now. But no, I'm not. No, it would have been nice. Next year though, we're doing a bid. Y'all willing. We [126:00] going to do it all the tents. We going to do it again. But yeah, this year going to take a little break. Take a [126:05] little break, huh? Good. Oh, yeah. We good. I don't think there's no more questions. [126:11] All right. said, "I'm out of here.
