Transcript:

[00:00] too. Crack. [00:05] $100 a day. What I spend on food? Yeah. Going to the grocery store, picking up [00:11] dinner, whatever. You know what I'm saying? Like $100 a day. Yeah. [00:17] I ain't I ain't $100 a day yet. That's crazy. But just about. But yeah, we inching up. [00:23] Five, six days. I'm resisting it, too. I'm looking like, no, I ain't going out like that. TJ TJ back, [00:29] bro. You know what I'm saying? Kids is hungry, huh? Yeah. Sabbath peace. [00:35] Sabbath peace. It's another opportunity for us to come together and hear and learn of the word of truth as given to us by the most high [00:40] God. All honor goes to the Father through the Son, whose name is Yahushua. In him lies the only hope for salvation. [00:48] We know that it is obtained by grace through faith, not of works, lest anyone should boast, and given freely as a gift [00:53] to all who obey him. We understand that if you do not obey him, it is made manifest or made obvious that you do not [01:00] believe. In this state, you should expect no good thing from the most high. However, anything that you do get, [01:06] whether it be a gift of tongues, a gift of prophecy, or any supernatural experience that you may have, it can and [01:11] it will be used against you in the day of judgment. With that said, peace to the saints that are in the room, to the [01:17] saints that couldn't make it, to the saints watching in on the camera, to the saints in the chat, to the saints scattered around the world that we don't [01:22] even know about. But no peace to the wicked. The only thing we say to them is repent that they might live. [01:32] So last week we talked about uh the book of Titus uh talked a lot about the the [01:38] the office of a overseer of a bishop, right? Somebody who leads the congregation and teaches the people. Um [01:45] and we we talked about a lot of the restrictions, some of the restrictions that don't really get highlighted at [01:51] all. Right? It's all new. We all this stuff we talking about New Testament stuff, but a lot of people are surprised [01:56] when they see the restrictions of the New Testament, especially for somebody who calls a leader of a congregation. [02:03] Um, and it's a it's a good way that that Yahua kind of set up a structure for us [02:10] through Paul. It's a good way for us to kind of quickly identify if a teacher is [02:17] within the truth or not. Right? If you see if you see a uh a pastor or uh uh [02:24] any leader of any congregation, right, position theirel as that leader, [02:29] however, they don't line up with what uh what uh second Titus or Titus 2 was [02:35] telling us, then you know what I'm saying? Like we can quickly just dismiss them. You know what I'm saying? It's [02:40] like a warning. It's like uh what the kids talk about red flag. It's a red flag, right? It's a warning sign like [02:48] nah you don't you don't even need to be teach learning from that person right so this week we gonna talk about [02:54] Timothy right let's go to first Timothy chapter 1 verse one this is first [03:00] Timothy chapter 1 verse one uh oh uh oh hey tell zahar bring me some [03:08] water for me and your uncle Hey, [03:34] Paul, an apostle of Yahosua, the Messiah, by the will of God, according to the promise of life which in the [03:39] Messiah Yahosua to Timothy, my dearly beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Messiah our [03:46] Master. I thank God whom I serve from from my forefathers with pure conscience [03:51] that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day greatly desiring to see thee being [03:57] mindful of thy tears that I may be filled with joy when I call to remembrance the unfeigned [04:02] faith that is in thee which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois and thy mother Ununice. When it say unfeigned, it's [04:09] basically saying unfake, right? So it's saying real, right? Fign is like saying [04:14] pretending or fake. You know what I'm saying? So when it say unfeigned, it just mean that it's real. Keep keep [04:20] going. In thy mother Ununice, and I am persuaded that in thee also. Wherefore I [04:25] put thee in remembrance that you stir up the gift of God, which in thee by the putting off putting on of my hands. [04:32] For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound mind. Mhm. [04:37] Be not thou therefore ashamed of the You see, I said the spirit of fear. So, whoever was around when we when we had [04:44] our study, uh, we had one of the special studies and we talked about the spirits. Yes. Yes. Thank you, nephew. I [04:50] appreciate it. Right. We talked about the spirits. And when we talked about the spirits, we talked about how a lot of people don't [04:55] realize that emotions are a form of a spirit. And so, you can see here the [05:01] spirit of fear, right? That's talking about your emotions, right? So a lot of these emotions what we call emotions [05:09] our ancestors would have called spirits right it's this spirit and it doesn't necessarily make all you know all [05:16] emotions evil or bad it's just something you have to think about like when you experience an emotion that's an external [05:24] principality that's an external force that's influencing you to move in a certain direction so you have to really [05:30] pay attention to how you react to your emotions okay keep [05:38] Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our master, nor of me his prisoner. Be but be thou partaker of the [05:45] afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God. Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our [05:52] works, but according to his own purpose and grace which was given us in the Messiah Yosua. Watch this. Before the world began, [05:57] watch this. but is now made manifest by the appearing of our savior Yahosua the [06:03] Messiah who has abolished death and has brought life and immortality to life through the gospel. [06:08] How did he abolish death? It's important that we understand what he's saying. How did he abolish death? [06:15] Through the law he was promised he was old life. He through the resurrection right? So [06:21] when he faced death and he resurrected and not resurrected in a way like like I [06:29] thought I was dead and now I'm living. He resurrected in a way where he has a new life, [06:36] right? He's a new being, a new person, a new guy with new authority, with a new [06:43] directive, with a new outlook. Right? That was something that we'd [06:50] never seen before. So by doing that, he abolished death. He defeated death, [06:56] right? Death couldn't hold him. Keep going. Watch this. [07:02] Whereto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher of the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these [07:08] things. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and I'm persuaded that he is able to keep that [07:15] which I have committed unto him against that day. Yep. Hold fast the form of sound words which thou hast heard of me in faith and [07:22] love. [08:08] Test, test, testing. Read that. [08:35] Read that last part again. Oh, this one going to go out too. [08:40] The Lord give mercy unto the house of honest forest for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain. Oh, he [08:46] wasn't. [09:14] All right. Are we live? Let's go for it. Let's see how these do. I'm trying to figure out where the good [09:20] batteries at. But when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently and found me. The [09:27] Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the master in that day, and in [09:32] how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus. Thou knowest very well. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the [09:38] grace that is the Messiah Yahosua, and the things that you have heard of me among many witnesses. The same commit [09:44] thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of the [09:51] Messiah. No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life, [09:56] that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not yet [10:04] is he not crowned except he strive lawfully. Watch how he said. He said, "Look, if a [10:09] man strives for mastery, in other words, if a man like strives to be an expert, [10:15] you know what I'm saying? To be the best, you know what I'm saying? He said he's not finished until he actually gets [10:22] acknowledged as the best, until he gets the crown or until he gets the trophy." Today, we would think of it as a trophy, [10:28] as a chip, as a ring, until he wins the championship. Right? That's what he's [10:34] talking about. Keep going. Watch this. The husbandman that labors must be first partaker of the fruits. Consider what I [10:40] say. And the master give the understanding in all things. He said, the husbandman that labors must be first [10:48] partaker of the fruits. Right? In other words, the person who [10:53] plants the garden and grows lemons in their backyard and pomegranates or whatever they want to grow, it's only [11:00] appropriate the person that put all the work into building that garden is the [11:06] first person that gets to eat a fruit off of that garden. All right, keep going. Consider what I [11:11] say. And the master give the understanding in all things. Remember that Yosua, the Messiah of the seed of David, was raised from the dead [11:17] according to my gospel. According to who? My gospel. Look, I told y'all last week, [11:22] uh, uh, Paul is not like shy about who he is and what he brings to the table, [11:28] right? A lot of times we see people with fake humility, and the reason why they got that fake humility is because they [11:34] don't bring nothing to the table for real. But Paul's not shy. A lot of people would call that arrogant if [11:39] somebody said it today, right? Yeah. No, you know what I'm saying? You could be saved according to [11:44] my gospel. It ain't your gospel. It's Yahosua. God, you know who he is? He's an apostle of Yahosua. That means he's [11:50] sent in the place of Yahosua. That means that instead of talking to Yahosua, Yahosua said you got to talk to him [11:56] first. Yahosua is saying, "If you want to hear from me, you got to hear from him. He got my words." Keep going. Watch [12:04] this. Wherein I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even unto bonds. But the word of God is not bound. Therefore, I endure [12:12] all things for the elect's sake, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in the Messiah Yosua with eternal [12:17] glory. Mhm. It is a faithful saying. For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with [12:23] him. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us. If we believe not, yet he abide [12:30] faithful. He cannot deny himself. He cannot what? What vers himself? 13. 13. Go back to uh verse six. Sister Pam [12:38] asked a question. The husbandman that labors must be first partaker of No, maybe give me verse three. [12:44] Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Yahosua the Messiah. No man that wars entangles himself with [12:51] the affairs of this life that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier. Mhm. And if a man strive for masteries yet he [12:58] is he not crowned except he strive lawfully. Mhm. The husbandman that labors must be first [13:03] partaker of the fruits. So what it's talking about here, the the question was, is that what is that what um is [13:11] that what uh is used to make sure that the preachers and the pastors get get money first? [13:17] But yes, that is what this is talking about, right? It's talking about whatever your [13:23] labor is, right? Whatever whatever your whatever your calling is, whatever walk [13:28] you have, you should first reap the benefit of it or the consequence of it. [13:35] Right? So if you sew into the ground weakness and and fear and rebellion, [13:43] then you will be the first one to reap the fire, [13:48] right? You'll be the first one to be able to pick a nice fruit from the lake of fire. [13:55] However, if you are a man of God who teaches the word faithfully, right, and [14:01] sacrifice for the people, well, then you are the first one to reap those benefits. So, yes, this is what's used, [14:08] but it's not incorrect for the preachers and pastors to use it as long as they truly teach the word. The part that's [14:14] incorrect with the average pastor and preacher that come to our mind when I say that is just the fact that they [14:20] don't teach the book correctly, right? They stand in front of these churches and they give you a bunch of empty [14:25] words, a bunch of feel-good words, a bunch of motivational speeches, and they just tie God into their motiv [14:32] motivational speech. They don't actually teach you the scripture. So now it's to the point where people don't see the [14:38] value of actually learning the scripture. People think the value is in [14:43] just knowing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sin. They think having [14:48] that knowledge is enough to save them. But in reality it's not. You have to believe. And you can't believe just by [14:55] having knowledge. Right? Having something as known as a fact doesn't equal belief. What equals belief is what [15:03] comes out of you. Right? The actions that you choose. That is that's how you [15:08] determine what your belief is. I saw a post today. It said uh it had two [15:13] pictures. One picture is a white man walking through a it's a cartoon, but cartoon white man walking through a [15:19] door. You know what I'm saying? and the door was open. There was a bright shining light of the door he was walking into. Then next to it, it was a picture [15:26] of a dude standing at a door and it looked like he trying to knock on it but couldn't go in, I think. You know what [15:32] I'm saying? Because the door was closed. And so on the left hand side where it has the open door, it says faith. You [15:40] know what I'm saying? Then on the right hand side, it says faith plus works. So [15:45] in other words, what this picture suggests is by obeying the book, [15:50] you can't get in. The only way you can get in is you have faith without works. [15:56] That's what it suggests. And these people are sickos. [16:02] But the truth is there's no way for you to even determine. There's no way for you to even know whether or not you have [16:07] faith if you if you are not producing the works that are consistent with the scriptures. [16:13] If you don't have behavior that lines up with the scriptures, particularly the [16:19] epistle letters, that means that you have no idea what your faith is, [16:27] right? Keep going. Uh you can jump on back down to uh uh give me verse eight. [16:33] Give me verse 7. This what chapter is this? Two. This is uh chapter This is uh 1 Timothy [16:39] chapter 2 verse uh give me verse 6. This is 1 Timothy 2:6. The husband men that labors must be [16:45] first partaker of the fruit. Consider what I say, and the master give thee understanding in all things. [16:50] Remember that Yahosu, the Messiah of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, wherein I suffered trouble as an evildoer. Even [16:57] he said, according to my gospel. Oh, we got grab uh Jeremiah chapter 29. [17:03] This is Jeremiah chapter 29. Give me verse one. [17:11] do a little talking. I just love how deep and how rich this [17:17] book is. We can go through this book constantly [17:24] and it's just so much that can be taught [17:29] and always look forward to the most high God revealing more to us, right? Bringing us more teachers that can open [17:35] up different parts of the scripture, right? More brothers that can open this thing up. most sisters that can that can [17:42] illuminate the word. Right? [17:47] This is Jeremiah chapter 29 verse1. Now these are the words of the letter [17:53] that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captive and the [17:59] priests and to the prophets and to the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon. [18:04] Hold on, bro. [18:27] All right. Go ahead. After that, Jeaniah the king and the [18:34] queen, and the Unix, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths were departed from Jerusalem by the hand of Elsa, the son [18:42] of Chafan, and Gemiah, the son of Hilkaya, whom Zedekiah, king of Judah, sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar, [18:48] king of king of Babylon, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel, [18:53] unto all that are carried away captive, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem, month of Babylon. [18:58] Uh-huh. Build ye houses and dwell in them, and plant gardens, and eat fruits of them. Mhm. Take [19:30] Some over there. All right, I think these are good. All [19:35] right, keep going. My bad. Thus says Yahweh of Host, the God of [19:41] Israel, unto all that are carried away captive, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon. Build ye houses and dwell in [19:47] them, and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them. Take ye wives and be get sons and daughters, and take wives for [19:53] your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters, that ye may be increased [19:58] there, and not diminished. And seek the peace of the city, where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray [20:04] unto the and pray unto Yahweh for it. For in the peace thereof shall ye have peace. For thus says Yahweh of Host, the [20:10] God of Israel, let your prophets and your divers that be in the midst of you deceive you. [20:17] Let not your prophets and your divers that be in the midst of you deceive you, neither hearken to their dreams which [20:22] caused to be dreamed, which he caused to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name. I have not sent [20:27] them, says Yahweh. For thus says Yahweh, that after 70 years be accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you and pero and perform my good [20:34] word toward you, and causing you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace and not of [20:41] evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken [20:47] unto you, and you shall seek me and find me, when you shall stretch forth search, when you shall search for me with all [20:53] your heart, and I will be found of you, says Yahweh. And I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from [20:58] all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says Yahweh. This is the gospel, [21:06] right? When Paul said, "According to my gospel, this is the gospel. This is what he's teaching. [21:13] All right, let's go back. [21:19] The most high God gave him the information for him to teach it. It becomes his gospel. [21:30] The most high God didn't give he's he's given us all something, right? We all want something grand and [21:36] glorious, but what he's given us all is something simple. [21:41] his commandments. Just keep them. [21:46] That's something that you can take pride in. You don't have to glory in like how [21:52] good you look, how smart you are, how wise you are, [21:58] right? How fast you are. You don't have to glory in none of that. [22:04] Instead, glory in the knowledge of Yahwh. [22:10] Where we at? Uh, second Timothy 2 verse I mean 1 [22:15] Timothy 2. Wait, second Timothy 2. Now we've been in second Timothy the whole [22:20] time. Huh? That's why this thing on. I'm looking like Wait a minute. This ain't this a You know what I'm saying? Grab uh [22:26] go back to first. I don't know what brother T been read. My bad. This uh first Timothy chapter uh chapter [22:31] one. It's the pattern though. It's the the the context. [22:37] All right. Oh, what? I was looking like No, this don't I was like, chapter two, we supposed to be talking about uh we [22:44] supposed to be talking about other things. But listen, grab uh grab uh 1 Timothy [22:49] chapter uh 1 verse one. I got First Timothy written on the on the page, but I'm reading out too. [22:56] Ain't get no sleep last night, y'all. Me either. Chapter 1 verse one. [23:01] Yeah, this 1 Timothy chapter 1 verse one. Paul, an apostle of Yosua by the [23:07] commandment of God our savior and the master Yosua which is our jump on down to verse five for the interest of time. [23:13] Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart and of good conscience and of faith unfeign from [23:20] which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling desiring to be [23:25] teachers of the law understanding neither what they say nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the law is good [23:30] if a man used it lawfully. He said, "We know." See, yeah, this is what we supposed to be talking about. He said, [23:35] "We know that the law is good if a man use it lawfully." [23:41] Right? In other words, he's saying, "Man, don't listen to what these boys are talking about from me. Talking about I'm against the law. I know better than [23:49] anybody the law is good if you use it lawfully." Watch what he say next. Knowing this, that the law is not made [23:55] for a righteous man. The law is not made for a righteous Knowing this. The law is not made for a [24:01] righteous man, right? What is it made for? [24:07] But for the lawless and disobedient. Uhhuh. For the ungodly and for the sinners. Uh-huh. For unholy and profane. For murderers of [24:14] fathers and murderers of mothers and mansllayers. How does Paul know that? What would what? Like, is there anything in the law [24:21] that says the law is made for the sinner? Can we think? Did Moses ever [24:27] tell us that? Did Moses ever tell us the reason why I'm giving you this law is [24:33] because it's made for the sinners? What would give him what would give Paul [24:38] this context? How would Paul know that the law was made for sinners? [24:46] How about everybody favorite verse? John 3:16. [24:52] Let's get it. John 3:16. It's the one they you know what I'm [24:58] saying? They write on the back of their card. Timbo put it on it. You know what I'm [25:03] saying? On the little black, you know the football players got a little black thing right there. Timbo put it [25:09] underneath the black thing. You can see it. John 3:16, [25:14] right? It's important that we understand what the book says [25:19] because Moses never told I can't think of no place where Moses told us the purpose of this law is for the sinner. [25:31] That means Paul got to be from I can't think of a prophet that said that. Maybe a prophet did but I just can't think of [25:37] it right now. [25:44] I sound like I'm hollering down the hallway. Sound like you far away. [25:57] This is John 3:16. For God so loved the world that he gave [26:03] his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not [26:10] his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. He that believed on him [26:15] is not condemned, but he that believes not is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only [26:21] begotten son of God. And this is the condemnation. He said, "This is the condemnation [26:26] that light has come into the world and men love darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For [26:31] everyone that does evil hears hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." So now [26:38] Yahosua is the one who told us that the law was made to to condemn. So the law [26:44] wasn't made for the righteous person. Yahosua is saying you are already condemned. [26:51] Right? And the only reason he's saying that you're already condemned is because the law condemned us. Remember when the [26:58] law came, the law said this is the standard of righteousness. Anybody who [27:03] don't meet this standard is cursed. So then that condemns you. So now he's [27:09] saying you're already condemned. Our problem is our people don't believe [27:16] it. You have to first believe the law. You [27:21] have when the law tell you if you don't continue in all things that are written in the scripture, you are cursed. Let [27:28] the people say amen. If you don't believe that, then that means you can't accept what [27:35] Yahosua is trying to do for you. It's only good news if you know that you [27:44] are doomed without Yahushua. But if you walk around thinking, "Oh, [27:50] no. I'm good. I'm saved. I'm saved by faith without works." [27:58] If that's your mindset, then it's not good news what Yahosua is saying. [28:03] It's only good news if you saying, "Oh, I'm doomed without this man." [28:10] Grab uh John chapter 5 for me. So loud. [28:16] She can't help herself either. This is John chapter 5 verse uh [28:25] I don't know what verse uh John chapter 5 verse [28:36] 30 what 30 30 it's John chapter 5 verse 30 [28:43] I can of my own self do nothing as I hear I judge and my judgment is just because I seek not my own will but the [28:50] will of the father which sent me. Mhm. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not No, jump on down. [28:57] What? I want 37. [29:03] You You want 47? 47. This You want uh 45? [29:08] This is John 5:45. Watch what the book say. Do not think that I will accuse you to [29:13] the father. He said, "Don't think I'm going to accuse you to the father." Why? Cuz the law already accuse you. The law was made [29:21] to accuse you. The law was made for sinners. Why would I accuse you? He just [29:27] told you, "I came to bring life. If you don't believe on me, then you're already condemned." Because it's the law [29:35] that accuses you. Watch this. There is one that accuses you, even [29:40] Moses in whom you trust. For he for had ye believed Moses, you would have believed me. for he wrote of me. But if [29:47] you believe not his writings, how how shall you believe my word? You have to first believe that you are [29:53] condemned. If you don't first believe that, then it [29:59] none of this is going to make no sense to you. And you can't just believe that you condemned just because, well, [30:05] everybody's just condemned without Jesus Christ. Well, yeah, that's true. But you don't understand the mechanism of it. So [30:12] when you don't understand the mechanism of it, now it leaves room for you to be manipulated. [30:18] Even if you believe something vaguely that's true, now people can manipulate [30:24] you because you don't understand why it's true. That's what we do here. We try to teach [30:30] you the details to make sure you can understand why. Nobody can come through [30:35] and just sprinkle some fairy dust on you and make you believe something different. No, you got to prove it out. [30:41] You know too much, right? You know too much. You got to [30:47] understand why am I condemned? Why is everybody condemned? Because the law. So [30:52] that's what Paul's trying to tell you. Look, we know the law wasn't made for a righteous man. [31:00] But it was made for the sinners. And if it's made for the sinners, it's because [31:05] Moses accused you. And if Moses accused you and you don't believe him, how in [31:11] the world is you gonna believe this book? And the sad thing is most of these [31:18] people that call theirself law keep keeping Hebrews do not believe the law. [31:24] They walk around talking about no, you got to keep the law. You got to you got you got to do the best you can. I mean, [31:29] you know what I'm saying? Nobody can keep it all the way, but you got to do the best you can. Okay. So, what you're saying is you condemned already. [31:38] Right. Have a conversation with one of these Old Testament only boys. [31:43] What you really telling me is you condemned. I respect it better if they said, "Look, we condemn. We ain't got no [31:48] way out. I don't believe that I don't believe that this this this dude called Jesus Christ is the Messiah. I don't [31:55] believe that Yahosua is the Messiah." You know what I'm saying? I believe that we still condemn and they still got to [32:00] send another y'all still got to send another one. I could respect that a little bit more, but they you not going [32:06] to hear that from them. Only thing you going to hear from them, do your best at keeping the law. They sound like Christians. Christians just say do your [32:13] best at doing whatever. They the Christian don't don't give you no stipulations. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? The the [32:19] so-called lawkeepers, they they try to at least say do your best at keeping the law. Well, what that mean? That mean [32:24] everybody got their own standard. Huh? That make a whole lot of darn sense. Everybody got their own standard. [32:29] Everybody can do it any way they want to do it as long as they call it their best. That make a whole lot of darn sense. Uh let's jump jump back. Let's uh [32:36] where we at? Go to uh N. Okay. Hold on. Give me Romans. Give [32:44] me Romans chapter 3. I be seeing a lot of them Hebrew brothers. They be selling like Gatorades [32:49] and waters like out on on the Sabbath. Or is it Sunday? [32:55] They selling on Sabbath? Yeah, it probably Sunday. Yeah, it's probably Sunday. [33:00] You know what I'm saying? Don't do my boys like that. You know what I'm saying? I think [33:07] like on Craig and Craig. So the sister said by not be I mean by [33:13] uh well let me let me read what she said. She said so to not be condemned right if we want to not be condemned she [33:19] said we must by faith acknowledge the law in our life so we can so we can get [33:24] right. Still lost on the law part. So let let let's let's let's break it down [33:29] again, right? If we look at it like this, in order to appreciate what [33:34] Yahushua has for us, right? In order to accept that as truly good news, [33:41] it is important for us to understand that we would be condemned without him. [33:46] So that's what he's explaining in John 3. In John 3, he's saying, I came to [33:52] bring life if you believe on me. Anybody who doesn't believe on me is already [33:59] condemned. Right? You're already condemned. Then in John five, it's explaining that Moses is the one that [34:06] accuses people. In other words, Moses words are the ones that condemn people, [34:12] right? So, it's reinforcing the same idea in John 5. And then he goes on to say, "But you don't believe Moses." And [34:20] so the point is that people don't realize that the law was made for [34:27] sinners, right? It was made to to condemn people. So now on the flip side, [34:34] grab uh Romans chapter 3. Romans chapter 3, give me verse 19. [34:45] Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law. And who is under the law? [34:52] Everybody. Everybody's under the law. Watch what he say. Every mouth may be stopped and all the [34:58] world may become guilty before God. So now he's telling you the whole world is under the law. So now who is the law [35:05] made for? Sinners. [35:10] Right? He made the law. He's telling you he made the law to make sure all mouths [35:17] are stopped. Everybody got to shut up and be like, "No, I messed up." That's the purpose of [35:24] the law. This is what Paul is telling us and Paul can only tell us that cuz Yahosua just told us that Moses condemns [35:30] you. I want y'all to understand the clear mechanism. I don't ever want y'all to read Paul and just think he just got [35:37] he made it up himself. The brothers who believe that Paul is just speaking that what they say they be [35:42] saying they say Paul speak on his own accord. The brothers that say that they don't understand our law and they don't [35:49] understand the gospel. Right? We can point exactly to what [35:54] Paul's saying here. He gets it from the gospel. Yosua said it himself. Right? So [36:01] Paul go let's go back to first uh 1 Timothy chapter 1 verse what was it? [36:08] verse 9. That's 1 Timothy 1:9. Watch the book say, [36:14] right? Paul said, "The law is good if you use it righteously." [36:26] He said, "Don't you know that the law was made for sinners? It wasn't made for the righteous. It was [36:33] made for sinners. Watch what he say next. This is 1 [36:40] Timothy chapter uh 1 verse 8 verse 9. Knowing this that the law is not made [36:46] for a righteous man, for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for ungodly and profane, for [36:52] murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for mansllayers, for mongers, for them that defile themselves [36:58] with mankind, for men stealers, for liars, for prejured persons. if there be [37:04] any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was [37:11] committed to my trust. Right? So he's saying anything that takes you away from the gospel that's what the law is made [37:19] for. If you listen very closely he's telling you the exact same thing Yahosua is saying. Yahosua said I come to I come [37:27] to for life anybody who believe in me. What does believe in me mean? Obey. That means you have faith. That means [37:34] faith cannot be shown without works. Works mean that you have obedience. That [37:39] means that you have uh behavior that's connected to what you believe. So if you [37:45] believe Yahosua, then what you're really saying is you obey Yahosua, [37:50] right? So what is Yahosua uh uh command of us? He told us to turn away from [37:56] sins. The sins that you see in Mark 7, the sins that you see in 1 Corinthians 6, the sins that you see in Ephesians 5, [38:03] the sins that you see in Revelations chapter 22, am I missing one? In Galatians 5, [38:11] right? Those are the sins that Yahosua told us to turn away from. First Corinthians. [38:16] Mhm. 1 Corinthians chapter 6. Yeah. Right. Those are the sins that Yahosua [38:22] told us to turn away from. Those are the things that keep us out of the kingdom. [38:29] So now if you believe on him, you've turned away from those things. If you don't believe on him, then your deeds [38:34] are still evil and that means you're not in the light. You're hiding from the light. And that is who the law is for. [38:42] So now to answer the sister question, right, the sister question is so do we [38:48] have to acknowledge the role that the law play and then get right? We have to [38:54] acknowledge the role that the law plays and then we have to obey Yahushua and [38:59] turn from all the sins that are listed again in Mark chapter 7, in 1 [39:04] Corinthians chapter 6, in Galatians chapter 5, in Ephesians chapter 5, and in Revelation chapter 22. If we've [39:12] turned away from those sins, then the law is no longer accusing us. The law is [39:18] no longer against us. The law no longer condemns us because just like John 3 [39:24] said, he came to give us life if we believe in him. Right? And that is [39:32] exemplified by works. You cannot have faith. You have no reason to believe [39:39] that you have faith if you don't see the works. [39:47] Jump over to chapter 2 for the sake of time. is 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse one. [39:58] I'm try to shoot through the first Timothy. What' I say? Yeah. First Timothy. [40:06] 1 Timothy chapter 2 verse one. Bible. [40:12] Go get him a Bible. I exhort therefore that first of all [40:17] supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings, and for all that are in [40:24] authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty, [40:29] for this is a good and acceptable for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our savior. [40:35] Who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is Jump on down to verse eight. I will [40:42] therefore that men pray everywhere lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting in like manner also that women [40:47] adorn themselves in modest apparel with shamefulness and sobriety not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly [40:55] array but which becomes women professing godliness with good works right so then [41:00] he told he he he saying look I would have it that women don't adorn themselves [41:06] right with with with certain external things so he talking about jewelry and uh braids in your hair where the [41:14] hair is platted like cornrows and all that, right? He's saying, "I would have it that it wouldn't be like that." Read [41:20] it again. Watch this. And like men are also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel with [41:26] shamefastness, shamefacness, and sobriety, not with braided hair or gold [41:31] or pearls or costly array. Right? Not a whole bunch of makeup and all this other. This is what he's saying. He said, "I would have it that [41:37] that women behave this way." Right? Even that where does it come from? It [41:43] comes from our prophets. Right? Grab real quick. Go to go to Isaiah chapter 3. [41:50] It comes from our prophets, right? We can take it really all the way [41:55] back to Genesis. We don't have to, but we can take it all the way back to Genesis, [42:00] right? If you remember in Genesis, uh uh who was it? It was Jacob. Jacob. He is [42:08] like, "Yo, take off your earrings and change our clothes. [42:15] Take off your earrings and change your clothes." Then you fast forward from there. [42:21] And remember, we gave up our earrings to melt them down to make a idol. [42:33] And then Isaiah chapter uh [42:39] yeah the long suspense the long lashes. Yeah. Them long lashes all [42:45] he's saying there's no way there's no reason to adorn yourself that way. [42:53] He said I would have it that you know I would have it that they do it with shame facing it. In other words, a modest [42:58] faith. [43:03] He's giving you an order. He's giving you signs of what it looks like where where you uh [43:11] you're not seeking something that's not God. [43:16] This is Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 3. Give me verse 18. [43:23] In that day, Yahweh will take away the brave the bravery of their tinkling or [43:29] tinkling ornaments about their feet and their calls and their and their round [43:34] tires like the moon. The chains and the bracelets and the mufflers, the bonnets and the ornaments and of the legs and of [43:42] the headbands and the tablets and the earrings, the rings and the nose jewels, [43:49] the changeable suits of apparable apparel and the mantels and the wimples [43:54] and the crisping pins, the glasses and the fine linen and the hoods and the [43:59] veils. And it shall come to pass that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink. And instead of a girdle, a [44:05] girdle, a rent. Instead of a girdle, a rent. And instead of a whale, set hair, [44:10] baldness. And instead of a stomachure, a girding of sackcloth, and burning [44:16] instead of beauty. Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. And her gates shall lament and mourn, [44:22] and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground. [44:32] And in that day, seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, "We will eat [44:37] our own bread and wear our own apparel. Only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach. [44:44] In that day shall the branch of Yahweh be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent." [44:51] So we can see, okay, hold on. Not that we can see that in the are are at verse [44:57] 18. The book is telling us very clearly that he's going to take these things away from the women. [45:04] So now what Paul is trying to do is trying to make a a a woman say you don't [45:09] need what y'all will take from you. [45:14] Right? So he's saying I prefer that the women behave itself without. [45:25] Let's go back. This is uh this is uh first Timothy verse uh let's go over to [45:31] chapter [45:40] 1 Timothy 3:1 hurry up [45:47] this is a true saying if a man desire the office of a bishop he desires a good work [45:52] right so it's the same thing this the same thing that we see in um in uh [45:58] Titus. Keep going. Watch this. A bishop must then be blameless, the [46:04] husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, and of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach, not given a [46:11] wine, no striker, not greedy, a filthy looker, but patient, not a brawler, and not covetous. One that rules his home [46:18] his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity. For if a man know not how to rule his own house, [46:24] how shall he take care of the congregation of God? Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into [46:30] condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must have a good rapport of them which are without, lest he fall into reproach [46:38] and the snare of the devil. Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double tonged, not given a much wine, [46:44] not greedy or filthy lucer, holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. And let these also first be [46:51] proved. Then let them use the office of a deacon behind being found blameless. [46:56] Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. Let the deacons be the husbands [47:03] of one wife, ruling their children in their own houses well. For they that have used they that have used the office [47:09] of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree decree degree and great [47:16] boldness in the faith which is Messiah Yahosua. These things write I unto thee [47:21] hoping to come unto you shortly. But if I tar long that thou mayest know how [47:27] that ought to behave thyself in the house of God which is the congregation of the living God, the pillar and the [47:32] ground of the truth. and without controvers controversy. Great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifest [47:39] in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and [47:45] received up in glory. Right? So notice at the end there, he said these these are the things I'm [47:51] telling you to behave in the congregation. Right? So we we didn't we [47:57] skipped it, but in chapter two, he goes on to say, I wouldn't have women usurp authority or teach men [48:04] Right? He's and then he goes on to talk about how a leader should be in the congregation. [48:10] Right? So he goes right from a woman shouldn't teach and then giving the qualifications of a man who does teach [48:18] and he's saying this is how it should be in the congregation. We have to use these time. If you walk into a [48:23] congregation and they talking about his spirit field and it's led by a woman and she preaching and it's men sitting down. [48:30] If it's a woman, she preaching and it's all women, that's cool. If it's a woman and she preaching and it may be a man in [48:36] there and she give a disclaimer like, "Hey yo, it ain't appropriate. You should be out of here." And he just refused to leave. That's on him. [48:43] That ain't on her. But if you got a woman and she teaching and she preaching to men, that's out of [48:50] order. We should be able to look at that and be like, "No, that's not right." If you got a pastor and he on his second [48:57] wife, he divorced the first one, now he got another one. Guess what? No, that's not right. [49:03] If you got a pastor and his kids bad, he don't live. If Zahar, Zakai, or Mayala [49:10] end up being rebellious, doing whatever they want to do, and they in my house, I want y'all to know it's not right. [49:17] What's happening here? I'm put I'm saying I'm putting that on record. If it's him, him, or the other one, [49:23] and they not doing what they supposed to do. They don't obey what I say, [49:29] right? They don't represent my household. Guess what the book is saying? It's not right that I'm up here. [49:36] Now, it don't matter if I think that's fair. I can't control them. You know what I'm saying? I taught them the right way. They just decided to do something [49:42] different. Do you think that matters to God? If if you a girl, if male get up be [49:48] like, "Hold on, hold on. I've been learning this book just like everybody else. I know the book better than Uncle [49:54] T and Uncle Phil put together. I should be able to teach. Do you think [50:00] God care what she should think she would be able to do? [50:05] It don't matter what gender you are is one rule. [50:10] You have to come in the way that it they say come in. Otherwise, we are out of [50:15] order in the congregation. And that's important. Order in the congregation is very important. Keep going. Watch this. [50:25] Now the spirits speak expressly that in the latter time some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing [50:30] spirits and doctrines of devils, speaking lies and hypocrisy, having their conscience sear with a hot iron, [50:36] forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them [50:43] which believe and know the truth. Mhm. For every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused if it be received [50:50] with thanksgiving. Mhm. Every creature of Yah is good and nothing to be refused if it be received [50:57] with thanksgiving. I understand. I understand. Look, all my Hebrew brothers just cringe. It's a couple thing, you [51:03] know, I always tell y'all Christians, it's certain things they never going to read in their church. It's certain [51:09] things in the Bible that that you just never going to see them read it in church. They going to skip over it. You [51:14] never going to touch it. You never going to hear about it. Now the Hebrew Israelites is the same way. You're [51:20] Hebrew Israelites is never going to read that. They never going to read. I don't think there's anything in this book that [51:26] we would never read. Like I think we cover the whole thing literally. You know what I'm saying? I [51:32] don't think there's anything. It might be some stuff that we've never read, but I don't think it's nothing that we skipping and hiding from and making sure [51:38] we don't touch on that cuz that's crazy. I mean, a person might only do that when [51:43] they don't know what they talking about. And for the most part, I think we know [51:48] what we talking about. Yeah. If I don't know, I'll be like, I think or you know what I'm saying? I can't tell you. But it says this, then I [51:55] can't. Right. In Genesis chapter 9, it tells us that he gave Noah all creatures to eat. [52:05] Right? When Paul talking, he ain't making nothing up when he say all creatures. Read it again. [52:18] forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them [52:25] which believe and know the truth. Every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused if it be received [52:30] with thanksgiving. That's how you know that what Yahosua and Paul are teaching is not the law of [52:37] Moses. Right? It's important that we get that through our heads. They are not contradicting the mo law of Moses. I [52:44] know some of y'all see it that way, but they are not contradicting the law of Moses. They are giving you a different [52:50] standard. He's giving you a because the law has a purpose. And what's the purpose of the law? [52:56] To condemn. To condemn. Done. The law's job is already the law's [53:01] job been done. So that part has been fulfilled already. Your butt going to die. Every one of us are going to die. [53:08] So the law's job is done. So now what he's doing is he's offering you something else. It ain't nothing that [53:13] you could do to get around what the law did other than go to Yahosua. And so now what he's giving you is a [53:20] separate standard. And he says, "Okay, if you want to see life at the end of this, I know you condemned already [53:26] because the law did that. It did its job. So now if you want to see life now, here's what you got to do. You got to [53:32] turn away from these sins." Right? And again, that's Mark chapter 7. [53:37] That's 1 Corinthians chapter 6. That's Galatians chapter 5. That's Ephesians chapter 5. That's Revelation chapter 22. [53:44] If you can get those down, which you can, right? You'll be all right. [53:51] Right. Every creature is acceptable to you. Tell sister Sharon. Oh, she know [53:56] she said something about support. Let me see. I still refuse that. He brought two cockroaches on the ark. That's [54:02] hilarious. Um [54:07] let's go to uh chapter 4. It's 1 Corinthians chapter 4 verse one. That [54:13] was four. Yeah. Oh, what verse? Uh we are verse 6. [54:20] Oh, jump over to chapter 5 then. This first Corinthians uh that's 1 [54:25] Corinthians chapter Huh? I mean first 1 Timothy chapter uh 5 verse one. [54:34] Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father, and the younger men as brothers, the elder woman as mothers, the younger [54:41] as sisters, with all purity. Honor widows that are widows indeed. But if any widow have children or nephews, let [54:47] them learn first to show piety at home, and to require their parents, for that is good and acceptable before God. Now [54:54] she that is a widow indeed and desolate trusts in God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. [55:00] Mhm. For she that lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. All these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. [55:07] But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he's worse than what? [55:13] He that denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. He What's an infidel? Worse than an [55:19] What is an infidel? I was [55:25] back in the day. I don't think they use the word really anymore, but if a person [55:31] was married, you know what I'm talking about. DJ, when you want to marry somebody, what you supposed to do? [55:38] Who who can demonstrate for me? Go ahead. Let me see. I'm not. Ain't nobody asking [55:44] what you trying to do a Kameha comic. No, the the box opening. [55:50] She tried to do it. Come hop. How you say it? The box opening. Com. [55:57] You know what I'm saying? Box opening. Oh, that's the box opening. That's a [56:05] Your box opening is buns. That boy box opening is buns. You know what I'm talking about? [56:11] You know what I mean? Got to use that right. That's because I'm locked. [56:17] You know what I mean? [Applause] because I'm like [56:25] listen when you propose what you're proposing is like yo I'm going to be [56:31] committed to you in commitment forever in commitment that's talking about faith what is it [56:38] called when somebody is not cheating in their relationship what are they being [56:43] they are being faithful right so back in the day they used to call [56:49] people who were not being faithful, people who were cheating in their marriage, they would call that [56:54] infidelity, right? Infidelity. That's a old word. [57:00] So, here it's saying you're worse than an infidel. What that's saying is you're [57:05] worse than someone who doesn't have faith in Yahosua, [57:11] right? A unbeliever, a worthless person, right? So think about that. Let's say [57:19] I'm here every day preaching the word, teaching the word, right? Reading the book. I know it like [57:26] the back of my hand. Boy, that thing up here. I got it right. But I don't take care as a horror. I [57:32] don't take care as a Kai. I don't take care of Mala. I'm always taking care of Mayala though. But I, let's say I stop [57:37] taking care of these two. Just like, you know, y'all run around. You know what I'm saying? I don't care. I don't care. [57:43] I don't care nothing about what y'all got going on. You know what I'm saying? Like it's all right. You know what I'm saying? Y'all figure it out. You know what I'm saying? At that point, no [57:50] matter what I think I know, no matter what I think I believe, the book says [57:55] I'm worse than someone who does not believe. Even if I believe, I'm worse than someone who does not believe [58:01] because I don't take care of my own family. That is important to know, [58:07] right? There are a lot of people, men and women, out here, that do not take [58:12] care of their families, right? And it is important for us to [58:17] know that that comes at a cost. A cost that no matter what you believe, until [58:23] you make that right, you can't get into the kingdom. [58:28] Our kids have to be except when they disobey cuz I kick your butt out the house and that's different. You not mine [58:33] no more. I disown you. You know what I'm talking about? You know what I'm saying? That's different. Your butt go on do what you [58:40] got to do. Don't ask crazy questions. She would never [58:45] This could be future. She would never. She would never. She would never. [58:52] She would never. She would never. I don't even like entertaining these conversations. [58:58] Right. But you will be worse than an infidel. It's important for us to know that. Keep going. Let's see. [59:05] Let not a widow be taken into the number under 60 years old, having been the wife of [59:13] one man, well reported of for good works, if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she have [59:20] if she has washed the saints feet, if she has received the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good [59:27] work. But the younger widows refuse. For when they have begun to wax wanton against the Messiah, they will marry [59:33] having damnation because they have cast off their first faith. And with all they learn to be idol, wandering about from [59:40] house to house. And not only idol, but tattlers also busy bodies, speaking things which they ought not. [59:45] Right. He saying these women ain't got nothing to do. That's some welfare mamas. You know what I'm saying? You [59:51] know what I'm saying? They don't be having nothing to do. You said what? [59:58] I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what that is. [60:08] Whatever y'all talking about, you better watch your mouth about my wife. I didn't know that. You know what I'm saying? But what I'm saying is clock. [60:20] You know what I mean? Got them on command. You know what I'm talking about? Girls do that. Oh, there's a girl. Brother, you got you [60:26] can't do that if you Oh, I take it back then. I don't know if I trust her. You know [60:32] what I'm saying? They might be a little You know what I mean? They might be a little You know what I mean? [60:37] That's my guy. But tell him I don't want to see this no more. My man tell My man told me boys don't do that. I don't want [60:43] to see that. If I catch Rome doing that, tell him I'm coming. That's my guy though. Don't disrespect my guy. That's my guy. [60:49] Right. But um keep going. [60:55] I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to [61:01] speak reproachfully, for some are already turned aside after Satan. If any man or woman that believes have widows, [61:08] let them relieve them, and let not the congregation be charged, that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. Let [61:15] the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine. [61:20] Right? So you remember we was talking about uh we I remember I think we might have been on a um we might have been on [61:26] a a weekly fellowship call but I think we was talking about like the purpose of [61:32] of the congregation is I think we are criticizing some of the churches and we was like shouldn't the church they got [61:38] all that money shouldn't they take care of the community or something like that something we was talking about and I think this is what I was trying to think [61:44] of where Paul is giving us specific situations where the congregation [61:50] shouldn't be involved, right? He's saying, "Look, a woman might be a widow, but if she young and she's still a [61:56] whippers snapper and she can go get her another one, then let her do her thing. That's different. What? [62:02] Let her do her thing. Let her go get another one. Don't take care of her. Don't let the the [62:09] congregation take care of her." Cuz I remember we supposed to take care of the widows. But Paul's saying if she's too [62:14] young and she's a widow, let her get it how she live. How young is considered young? below 60, [62:22] right? But now if she over 60, why might that be? If she over 60 and she a widow, the [62:29] congregation should take care of her. Why is that? She can't probably can't marry. She can't marry again. She can't work. [62:37] So now she's at a vulnerable state. So that's why you see uh you see uh this [62:43] country modeled a lot of its stuff against ours. So the age of social security right and social security is [62:50] basically saying social the community right of people are providing security [62:56] or safety for people right so we all pay not y'all butts cuz y'all lazy ain't got [63:01] no darn job don't darn do nothing right but every adult hold on hold on hold on [63:08] but every adult who has a job pays into what's called social security and it it [63:14] used to be 60 I think but Now at 65, you turn 65, you can go file for social [63:21] security and then now you can collect the check that everybody in in in the US [63:26] who pays taxes who, you know what I'm saying, got a job and they legal and they not here illegally, you know what I'm saying? They not here on no, you [63:33] know what I'm saying, on an expired green card or jumped over the darn border just thinking, oh, I'm about to make a life for myself and send money [63:39] back to my home country and then try to bring them over here. As long as that's not your situation, as long as you here [63:45] legally, you got a job, and you got an appropriate social security number, then you paying into the social [63:52] in LA. [63:57] That's what you know I'm saying. Look, you know what I'm saying? I'm saying look, if you go, what if it's a [64:03] beautiful museum? Beautiful museum. You walk past it and then you look at the museum and you look in there and you [64:10] looking like, "You know what? If I could get in that museum, I can really make [64:15] something of myself." Right? And the door just cracked open [64:22] just like that. And you walk up to it and it says, "Do not enter." And guess [64:28] what you do? [64:34] You know what I'm saying? You slide right in that thing and then next thing you know, you know what I'm saying? You ever had a [64:40] police roll up on you? When they give you one of them, that means I got you. You know what I'm saying? When the [64:46] police turn the siren all the way on where it's just like, [64:52] that means I'm chasing you. But when you when the police just pull [64:57] up on you and they go when they hit the button and they you know what I'm saying? Yeah. They DJ that thing. You [65:02] know what I'm saying? When they do that, they like, "Nah, you you caught." You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? They do that. [65:08] They They be riding slow when they do it. You got to know the police. They hit the corner hard [65:15] and then ride slow. Just like that. You got to know you [65:21] caught. You go ahead. Go ahead. Run. Do whatever you got to do. You chopped. You know what I'm saying? [65:27] Fried. You fried. You fried. And you might be chopped. You might be chopped cheese and you might be [65:32] fried. You might be fried chop cheese if they hit you with the woo. But you on [65:38] the inside of a museum that you don't belong in and the sign said do not [65:43] enter. What are the police going to do to you? I'm just saying though, if they see you, [65:49] what they going to do? Question you, probably cuff you. They going to leave you in there. They going [65:55] to be like, "No, you good." You know what I'm saying? go put on a uniform and work the next shift even though you [66:00] don't work here. But guess what? If somebody comes to a country illegally [66:08] and ICE catch them, what should happen? Oh, I'm running. They should get taken back to [66:14] I think it basic me personally, I think it basically. Now, listen, we want everybody to be taken care of. We don't [66:20] want nobody to be mistreated. And we don't like the conditions of the countries, some of these countries that [66:26] push people into this situation. But you have to understand, no matter what the condition is of your country, [66:33] us as black people, we didn't run. Why they come over here? Look, we was slave. We look [66:38] we was slaves getting whipped on our back. And the most thing we did is we [66:44] ran to the next state in the United States. What? We didn't run to Mexico. We didn't run [66:50] to Canada. You know what I'm saying? You know what we did? We stood and we said, "You know what? What y'all doing ain't [66:57] right? Don't mess with us, right? We picked up picket signs. We [67:02] fought the power. We start carrying guns, protecting our loved ones, right? [67:08] They changed laws behind us for us and against us because you know what? We [67:15] took what we had and we fought until we changed something. And we still got a lot of stuff to change, but we didn't [67:22] run. So now, if you choose to run from your country and the conditions of your [67:27] country instead of fighting, sometimes everybody's fight is different and not everybody is built for the fight, right? [67:34] But if you choose to take the risk and run, you got to know when I break into [67:41] the museum. You know what I'm saying? That's all I'm [67:47] saying. You know what I'm saying? At some point. [67:53] And that's all that's they business. Ain't my business. My people be coming over here from this country. Uh because uh it's opportunity over [68:00] here. Land of the opportunity. You know what I'm saying? We primed it for immigrants to come here and have opportunity. The opportunity that was [68:06] supposed to be given for us, we primed it. And so that we don't have to get it because a lot of people are scared of [68:12] our condition. If people look we've so much has been done to us by this country [68:17] that there's this guilt that that that that permeates through people's minds, [68:23] right? A lot of people, right? It permeates through their minds. So they got to think about if black people get [68:28] too much money, if they get too much control, if they get too much power, you know what might happen? They might want [68:34] to make us slaves, right? So that guilt permeates through their mind. So instead of letting us get [68:41] too much wealth, they dilute it. Right? Look, take what's what's something [68:48] that's strong. When you drink it, you drink it, it got a strong flavor. [68:54] Medicine, right? Y'all both had beer and whiskey. Y'all crazy. So look, medicine, right? You ever had like the [69:01] medicine, the great medicine, and then you you take the top off of it and your mama your mama take it out and [69:07] she said, "Just take it." And you know how it's going to taste. You already know how it's going to taste. Before you [69:12] when you open your mouth, you like it's like, "All right, you know how that thing going to taste." Nasty. But she [69:18] like, "Boy, just take this medicine, right? Open up." Huh? That's right. You know what I'm talking about. That's [69:24] right. I acting like she just took some the other day, huh? Open up. Open up. And then you gotta go and then you put [69:29] it in there and then you eat it and it's like So then you know what you could do to [69:35] make that that taste a little less effective? What? [69:41] You could drink something after. You know what happened when you drink something after? You dilute it. [69:48] Right. That means or you could or you can mix it with water and drink it because now [69:53] the taste won't be so strong. Right. So now, so now this is what's [70:00] happening, right? You have people that are in this country that are fearful of [70:07] the strength of of of descendants of the of the slave trade, right, of the [70:13] American slave, right? So when they look at that, they look at the strength and they say, "If we let them get too [70:20] strong, this will turn into a situation where maybe they start doing to us what we did [70:26] to them." So now they have to dilute it. They got to pour water on us to make [70:32] sure that we don't get strong. So how do they dilute us? Cuz we not medicine and people are not water. So how would they [70:38] do dilute us? destroy [70:43] that that that would just kill us, right? But instead, what they do is they dilute us by saying, "Okay, well, for [70:50] every black person, let's invite two immigrants." So now everything that we would have [70:56] given to black people, we make them compete with a bunch of the immigrants, [71:01] right? And now that dilutes us, right? A lot of people don't understand that a [71:07] lot of the stuff, almost all the stuff of this country is centered on our [71:12] people and our people only. They can try to tell y'all that it's not about us. They ain't think about us and all that. [71:18] No, no, no. A lot of their plans is specifically about us. A lot of their plans is specifically with us in mind. [71:26] They don't consider nut without us. We got they we on their mind constantly. [71:31] They just had a video of a black dude. I think he was like uh pest control, you know what I'm saying? He pulled up somebody house, he got him on video like [71:38] this and they walking out, you you know what I'm saying? This that and another. You monkey. I'm going to hang you. This [71:44] that and another mad just because he knocked on their door. This is in 2025. You can't tell me that we are not [71:50] constantly on their mind. Like why would you do that for somebody who come in here trying to do pest control just because they black? They probably never [71:57] seen a black person. Right? So imagine that. I've never seen a black person, [72:03] but when I see one, that's the reaction that they get. Well, that's because we're constantly on a lot of their mind. [72:09] Not all of them. Some of them think about it, but a lot of them. [72:15] Where we at? Let's go to chapter six. [72:27] Sister Sharon said white people wouldn't make too good a slave. I wouldn't mind finding out. You know [72:33] what I'm talking about? I wouldn't mind testing it. You know what I'm saying? Let's just see just for a day or two. [72:40] This is uh 1 Timothy chapter 6 verse one. [72:49] Oh, am I out again? Let as many servants as are under the [72:54] yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. And they [73:00] that have they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren, but rather do [73:07] them service because they are faithful and beloved partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. If any [73:13] man teach otherwise and content not to wholesome words, even the words of our master Yahosua, and to the doctrine [73:19] which is according to the to godliness, Uhhuh. he is proud, knowing nothing but doing [73:24] but doing about questions and strifees of words whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, and evil servicings. [73:31] Right? So I just need you to read that one more time. If any man do what now? Or don't teach otherwise and consent not [73:38] to wholesome words. If anybody is teaching anything different than what [73:43] Paul is teaching and he don't consent to wholesome words, in other words, he [73:49] don't consent to what makes sense. Watch this. Even the words of our master Yahosua the [73:54] Messiah. Uhhuh. And to the doctrine which is according to godliness. He is proud knowing nothing but doing [74:01] about questions and stripes of words whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, and evil servicings. All he doing is [74:08] being proud and he's doing about questions and words. That's what these [74:14] boys do. They ask you a whole bunch of question. Okay. Well, if Paul said that, then why can't this that? They just ask [74:19] you a bunch of question and they're not looking for an answer. They think they telling you something that you can't answer. They think they [74:26] asking you a question that's too difficult. And it's like, boy, you know what I'm saying? What did you just just [74:31] sit down and try to learn the book? I can't teach you. You want you want me to disprove you. But it takes you it takes [74:38] a understanding of the whole book. I got to start you at the beginning of the book for some of these questions. But [74:44] these boys are not interested in learning. They interested in proving a point which is pride. [74:49] That's why you got to understand, man, I'm not about to argue with you about no Bible. That's crazy. You know what I'm [74:54] saying? We got Sabbath study every Friday and we got a fellowship call every Sabbath. [75:00] If you want to know about the book, come sit your butt down and learn. Right. We not about to sit here and go [75:07] back and forth and argue for what? Argue. We didn't do We didn't done that [75:14] already. You know what I'm saying? That's old news. They ain't get boring. Most of these people are committed. They [75:20] committed to not understanding your point. They committed to misunderstanding you. They They know [75:25] they understand. Look, I didn't figure a lot of these people out. They know they get exactly what I'm trying to teach. They be like, "No, that don't make [75:32] sense, bro." Yeah. Okay. You know what I'm saying? I know it don't. I know it don't. You keep going. No. The white man [75:37] is the edomite. Oh, okay. For sure. You know what I'm saying? For sure. You got it. [75:44] Keep going. Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, [75:50] supposing that gain is godliness. From such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. [75:57] Right? He said godliness, which is obedience to to the most high with [76:02] contentment, which is knowing that you know what? I don't need more. I'm good [76:07] with what I have. If a person thinks like that right now, the world would look at you crazy. [76:14] Like, boy, you complacent, man. You know what I'm saying? You got to want better for yourself. You got to go out there and get it. You got to hustle. You know [76:20] what I'm saying? You got to set goals and accomplish them. You got to speak to yourself. Affirmations. You got to you [76:25] got to you got to you got to That's how the world talk to you. You got to do better. You got to get better. You got to make $1,000. Then make $2,000. Then [76:33] make $100,000. Then make a million dollar. Everybody got to do it. Everybody got to go. There's money out [76:38] there. There's enough money out here for all of us. That's how they talk. And guess what? Exactly how your mind [76:44] is, that's how it'll work. You will get $1,000 and now you need 10. And after you get 10, now you need a hundred. And [76:52] after you get a 100, now you need a meal. And after you get a meal, man, I'm trying to get a couple meal. I'm trying [76:58] to get a 30. Then after you get that 30 meal, then you looking like, man, [77:03] I need the Billy. Then after I get that Billy, then guess what? I need a couple Billy. Then after you get the Billy, I [77:10] mean a couple Billy, then it's like I need 500 Billy. [77:16] And guess who? There's only one person who got it like that. Me, Elon Musk, right? And guess what they [77:22] saying about him? Guess what he trying to do now? [77:30] Take over Twitter. They said he is on pace to be the first [77:37] American trillionaire. What do you even do with all of that? Nothing. It's never enough. You gonna [77:45] keep trying to get more and keep trying to get more and the more you get that is in excess, that means the less somebody [77:52] else got. So that means people got to starve and fight over pennies while you amassing all this wealth. And for what? [78:01] For what? Right. But that's how it work. He got a lot of kids though. You know what I'm [78:07] saying? A lot of kids. A lot of different baby mama. You know what I'm saying? They talk about black folk. You know what I'm talking about? He [78:12] African-American. You know what I'm saying? He He the real African-American. You know what I'm saying? I'm just [78:18] telling y'all the truth. He the real African. We Hebrews. We ain't African-American. He the real African-American. [78:23] All them baby mama dead beat. You don't take care of your He probably take care of them. No. You know what? He got enough money. He tell one way or another [78:29] he probably take care of them. You know what I'm saying? But I like to believe he don't. Funny. [78:34] I just like it. You know what I'm saying? I just like it. Keep going. Watch this. [78:40] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raignment, let [78:46] us be therewith content. But they that with they that will be rich fall into [78:52] temptation in a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which dr which drown men in destruction and [78:58] predition. For the love of money is the root of all evil. Yep. Which, while some coveted after, they have aired from the [79:04] faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. You can't fall in love with money, y'all. [79:10] Don't do it. But thou, oh man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, [79:17] meekness. Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and has professed [79:23] a good profession before many witnesses. Mhm. That's it. [79:28] I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickenth all things, and before Yahosua. When it say quickenth, it means to make [79:34] it alive. So he's saying who makes all things alive. Keep going. who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good [79:40] confession that thou keep it keep this commandment without spot unbreakable until the appearing of our master [79:46] Yahosua which in times he shall show who is the blessed and only potentiate [79:51] potentiate the King of Kings Mhm. and Lord of lords who only has immortality dwelling in the light which [79:58] no man can approach unto whom no man has seen nor can see to whom honor and power everlasting. Amen. [80:04] Charge them that are rich in the world, that they be not high- minded, nor trust the in uncertain riches, but in the [80:10] living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. They do good that they be rich in good [80:15] works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate. All right? So, what he's saying is he's [80:20] not saying it's evil to be rich, right? And so he he he made that clear at the end. He's saying if somebody is rich and [80:27] they believe in what we believe in, then tell them don't trust in their riches, [80:32] right? Don't be comfortable be like, "Well, I got money, so I ain't worried about nothing." Right? Don't trust in your riches. He said, "Instead, make [80:39] sure that you communicate your riches." In other words, hey man, you need some help. All right. Well, I got you. Right? [80:44] You need some help. All right, man. I got you. Right? If your brother needs assistance and you got it, then here you [80:51] go. You know what I'm saying? I got you. Right. Keep going. [80:57] laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come that they may lay hold on eternal life. Oh [81:04] Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings and oppression and oppositions [81:11] of science falsely so-called which some professing have error concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. [81:19] So now that's technically half of second Timothy and First Timothy. Um, but we'll [81:26] pick up we'll pick up next week in Peter before we come back around and we'll we'll finish out second Timothy. Um, [81:34] any questions? [81:52] All right. Question. What you got? I want to learn how to punch. Punch? Yeah, punch [81:57] like this. Uh, come here. Let me show you something. Um, okay. [82:03] Let me show you something. Sister Pam says she got two questions. All right, Sister Pam. [82:08] Everybody have Sister Pam says she got two questions. Let's see. Question number one. Sister [82:14] Pam, what we got? [82:23] Boy, my knees killing me, boy. It crazy, boy. I don't know. [82:30] Have you stretched? I don't know, man. Say something else. Have you stretched? Say something else. Have you stretched? [82:35] Boom. Boom. Let's see. What's question one? Let me see what we got. Sister Pam. [82:42] First Timothy 4:4. Let's see what it say. Yeah. All food is good. That's an easy one. Yeah. We don't even got to read it. All food is good. That's what [82:48] it say. Same thing that Genesis 9 say [82:57] all food is acceptable. [83:10] What's question two? I love your pants. [83:17] Or a followup to question one if you got more questions after that answer. [83:27] I need a stretch. My body hurt. [83:38] Y'all just be thinking nothing. You don't be doing nothing. like low. You look like you just woke up. [83:46] And what's this? Why don't you clean your face on the side? You know what I'm saying? [83:52] Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Why don't you Wait till you try to make it look like that's hair. You know what I'm saying? [83:57] Ain't no hair, boy. You know what I'm saying? Go get a towel. I'll scrub that right off right now. Wait till [84:04] next question. So, is it wrong to invest? No. Not wrong to invest. Not wrong to have money. not [84:11] wrong to even want money. I don't like to hear either. It is wrong to trust in your riches. [84:17] Trusting in your riches the way it's gonna look. Trusting your riches is making decisions [84:23] uh in favor of your So look, there's two ways to kind of look at things, right? [84:30] You can look at things on justice and survival. Those are like at a basic [84:35] level, every human being has those two thoughts. It's like what do I do to [84:40] survive versus what do I do for justice? So anytime that you sacrifice your [84:46] survival in favor of justice, that's righteousness, [84:53] right? When it's justice according to the book, right? That's righteousness. So in other words, if now I look at my [84:59] money and I say, "No, man. This is mama. I need to have money. I need to have a bunch of money because it's not just [85:05] about me. It's about my kids and my kids' kids. And I need to be able to make sure that there's legacy and I can [85:10] pass something down and they can pass it down. I want generational wealth. Right? [85:16] That's survival. What you're saying is I want my bloodline to survive. So then [85:22] yeah, you might invest. You might you might cut some deals. You might do some things. It's nothing wrong with that. [85:29] However, if justice is threatened by what you need to do to survive, if you [85:35] look at it, you looking like, "Okay, I got to cut this deal." But to cut this deal, [85:41] I'm going have to lie on this contract. I'm going have to cut out this middleman who he making money. I'm going have to [85:46] steal from him. I'mma take his idea, put it in my company. All that. You do that [85:52] to survive because I need generational wealth. And if I do that, man, this money will be kicking after that. [85:58] However, now you sacrifice justice in favor of [86:03] your survival. Anytime that you sacrifice justice in favor of your survival, you are a sinner, right? So, [86:11] always think about that. There's nothing wrong with surviving. You can always survive. The only time is and and [86:16] surviving looks like getting money. Surviving looks like getting food, doing whatever you got to do to take care of [86:22] yourself. But if you do that uh and it's against justice now it's a sin. [86:31] Let me see what else we got. Follow-up question on food. We eat according to the law. Huh? [86:39] What? Oh, a follow-up question on food. We eat [86:45] according to the law for healing. Um yeah, we eat according to the law for health. [86:51] All right. So, so think about it like this, right? The law tells us what's [86:57] healthy. The law is trying to explain to us what's good for you. Sit your butt down. [87:02] The the law is trying to trying to explain to us what's good for us and what's healthy. So, it' be like a doctor [87:08] coming to you and telling you, listen, I think you should lay off on the sugars, [87:13] right? And you might you might want to give the carbs a rest also because you're a little obese. You know what I'm [87:19] talking about? You're a little obese. You know what I'm saying? So, you might want to relax on the sugars and the [87:24] carbs and exercise a little bit. Right now, then you go to your mama house and [87:31] your mama lay out some some cake. You know what I'm saying? Which got sugars [87:36] and carbs in it. Right? And so now you can look at your mama and be like, [87:41] "That's wrong. People are not supposed to have sugars and carbs." But no, that's not what the doctor said. what [87:48] the doctor said, "It's not good for you." Right? And that's what the Bible did for [87:54] Israelites. The Bible took the law and said, "This is unhealthy for you. Pigs [87:59] is unhealthy for you. Shrimp is unhealthy for you. Darn uh what else?" [88:05] Uh catfish. Catfish is unhealthy for you, right? Caladarn Mari. You know what I'm saying? [88:12] You going to eat a darn calad? you going to eat a whole darn octad puss and that's unhealthy for you. It's nasty, [88:20] right? So that's what the book is telling you. However, [88:26] it ain't going to stop you from getting into the kingdom, right? [88:32] Just like if you decided not to eat cake, you still going to get in your mom house. And if you eat the cake, you [88:39] still go to the doctor's office. The kingdom is not about right. We are teaching people how to get [88:46] into the kingdom, right? And the law teaches us how to be healthy, how to how [88:53] to live long, right? And so every person has to decide what they value, but every [89:01] person who wants to see the kingdom has to fall under what Yahosua commanded. [89:06] Right? That's it. So yes, that's why Paul says all food can be accepted with [89:11] thanksgiving because that won't stop you from getting into the kingdom. However, the law is still right in saying that [89:17] it's an abomination and that it shall be regarded as unclean to you because it is [89:23] unhealthy for our bodies according to God. What else we got? [89:29] Thank you for staying back and answering. Great words, y'all. Appreciate you. Eat the cake. Anime [89:37] octa. What now? Just All right, man. I love y'all. Y'all [89:43] be well. Let's pray out.
