or if you have any concerns. So thank you so much. I really appreciate everybody. Thank you, Jonathan, thank you Jacob. Like I say, I always appreciate you guys giving me the platform to be able to do a Bible study for your audience. I know, guys, listen, okay, I understand, man. The conspiracies they get you, you know, they suck you in, you know, and it's very important to know the conspiracy so that you know your enemy, right. You want to

know your enemies. So I know exactly why you guys are into and while I'm into it and I definitely get sucked into it. But what I try to tell people is the truth is the most important because we are truthers. That's what we are trying to find out. So for me, when I have an audience like you guys, it really makes me excited and happy because I know you guys are looking for the truth and I personally

believe that the Bible is the truth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the life, and we are going to definitely be digging into some stuff in the New Testament on Wednesday's service, and we are going over stuff that Jesus did during his ministry. What a blessing. Thank you Lord for this opportunity. Really, Lord, thank you so much for this opportunity. I really appreciate it. And for you to give me an audience like you guys for me to

teach is such a blessing. You guys don't even know how much it helps me and assists me in my daily life, in my daily walk. To be digging into Bible verses and then coming on and speaking to you guys about it, it really really helps out. So, without further ado, let's get to the scriptures and if you can see this on if you can see on video, which probably on the Patreon, I think that's the only place that the video is available, then you guys will be able to see the verses on the screen. So

let's go ahead and get into Matthew eight. Verse one, Jesus cleanses a leper when he had come down from the mountain. Great multitudes follow him, and behold, a leper came and worshiped him, saying, Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean. One thing we got to know about lepers. So back then, when you were walking by a leper, they would have to scream unclean, uncleaned because they people, if you touched the leper, then you

would be unclean. Uh, you know it's a disease that uh that's very contagious and and uh it's it's a disease of the skin. Right, so people, if you touched a leper, then you would be uncleaned. You know. So Jesus does something here that's that just shows you that Jesus is greater than any disease. Okay, if he touches you, then he's not unclean. And if he touches you, or if he chooses to, he can heal you. And he doesn't even have to touch you. He can heal you

from a distance, you know. But he ends up touching people and healing them that way. Excuse me. So it says, then Jesus put out his hand and touched him, saying I am willing be cleansed. Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Can you imagine being somebody like that, the leper that's walking around. People are persecuting you, and people are are making fun of you. And also people don't even want to touch you after you become a leper. Back then then that's what they would call him, like a leopard.

After you become a leper, you don't really get to feel human touch anymore because people don't want to touch you. People don't want to hug you. Your own family doesn't want to hug you because they don't want to become unclean in the sight of other people. And also they don't want to be unclean, you know, if they catch leprosy. They don't want to do that. So you actually don't even get human touch. You know, I'm not really sure how that worked with, you know, somebody having a wife.

I don't really know, you know, I wouldn't know that part, but I know that it's been said that, you know, people wouldn't touch you after you had leprosy, says and Jesus said to him, see that you tell no one, but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded as a testimony to them. So see that you tell no one but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded. Is a testimony to them. Okay, so excuse me.

So we have a Jesus heals a centurion's servant. It says, now, when Jesus had entered Capernaium, a centurion came and came to him, pleading with him, saying, Lord, my servant is lying at home, paralyzed, dreadfully tormented. Okay, so let's look at something real quick. So in Matthew's version, it says that the centurion came to him, pleading with him, saying, Lord, my servant is lying at home, paralyzed, dreadfully tormented. But if you go to Luke's, which Luke is always more detailed,

Matthew always gives you like an abbreviated version. He's not like super detailed. So it's actually not the centurion that came himself. It's actually let me show you what it actually is. And just to let you know the reason why Matthew does this, because if spun, if somebody comes back then and speaks on your behalf, it's as if you are speaking. Okay, so that's the reason why Matthew did this. But in Luke seven, verses one through five, let's read that. Now, when he concluded all his sayings

in the hearing of the people. He entered Copernium and a certain centurion servant who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders to the Jews to him, pleaded with him to come and heal his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying that the one for whom he should do this was deserving, for he loves our nation and he and he has built us a synagogue. So he sent elders of the Jews

to him. So he's a Roman centurion and he sent elders of the Jews to him, right, So that's what really happened. But they were speaking on the Centurnian's behalf. So when Matthew says that the Saturnian came to him and pleaded with him, saying, Lord, my servant is lying at home, paralyzed, drectfully tormented, that's the abbreviated version. It's not actually the centurion, it's actually the Jewish elders that came. So the centurion asked the Jewish elders to come and

speak to him on his behalf. And I just want to let you know that because it's when you get to Luke. When we get to Luke and you hear that same exact story retold, I don't want you to be like, hey, you told me that it was the centurion that came. No, it's actually the Jewish elders that came. So I just won't let you know that, okay. And I know because Luke is usually more detailed. He was a doctor, he was super smart, intelligent, educated man, not

saying that Matthew was not smart. But you know, Luke is a doctor, he's educated. So I think he just wrote with more detail. I think Matthew gives you the abbreviated version, okay. And Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof, but only speak a word and my servant will be healed. See, for I am also a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say, and I say to this one,

go and he goes to another. Come and he comes and to my servant, do this, and he does it. So the centurion is saying, Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof. Basically, I'm not worthy for you to come to my house. I know that you were powerful enough to just speak the word and his servant will be healed. So he has faith that Jesus doesn't even have to go to his house. He doesn't even have to travel to his house. He has faith that Jesus can heal him from where he's at. Okay,

that is that is true faith. And Jesus recognizes that. He recognizes that nobody else would talk to was talking to Jesus like that. You know, this is a leader. Speak it to a leader. Though you know, when Jesus heard it, he marveled. So Jesus marveled at the belief that the that the Centurnion he had. Right, that the faith that the centurion had, there's only like one other

place that that that I saw that Jesus marveled. And it's actually instead of somebody's belief or faith, it was the lack of belief or lack of faith, and that in Mark six four through six. But Jesus said to them, a prophet is not without honor, excepting his own country, among his own relatives, and his own house. Now he could do mighty work there, except that he had laid his hands on a few people, sick people, and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief. Then he went

about the village in a circuit teaching. See he marvels in this verse about their unbelief. You see. So, but right here it says, when Jesus heard it, we're going to go back to Matthew verse ten. When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said to those who followed, as surely I say to you, I have now found such great faith, not even in Israel. And I say to you that many will come from east and west and sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven.

But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out in the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then Jesus said to the centurion, go your way, as you believed, So let it be done for you, as your servant was healed that same hour. So, Jesus, you see, when God sees that you have faith, you know, it says like if you have the faith of a

mustard seed. Right when God sees that you have faith like that where you automatically think that someone's going to be healed, then then God he really loves that, you know, you could tell he marvels at that kind of faith. But what's up with this part where he says many will come from the east west and sit down. See

it says not even in Israel. So we speaking of the of the Jews right here, he says, and I say to you that many will come from east and west and sit down from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Kingdom of Heaven. But the sons of the Kingdom will be cast out in the outer darkness. So he's talking about the Jews. He's saying that many gentiles will come from the east and the West and be saved and be able to sit down with Abraham, Isaac and

Jacob and the Kingdom of Heaven. But the sons of the Kingdom, the Jews that think they're the chosen, who don't believe in Jesus and who have no faith because we're saved by grace through faith, will But the sons of the Kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness, and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. You understand. So the people that think but they have a seat at that table, they don't have a seat at that table because they're still living under the law. So g

Jesus past dies on the cross. You see, they're not going to believe, they're not going to have faith, they're not going to receive Jesus as the Messiah. Then they're going to be the ones that are cast into outer darkness. And I'm not saying that every Jewish person or everybody's

on that list. No, He's saying that there's going to be many that will come from the East and West and sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, with the Kingdom of Heaven, many gentiles, and the ones that think that they that they are chosen for that seat, and they're not going to be sitting there at that table. They'll be cast out in outer darkness. I think that's super important for people to know. Then Jesus said to the centurion, go your way as you believed, so let

it be done for you. And as servant was healed that same hour. Very very interesting. Right there, that is true faith right there, where you think it's autumn, you basically believe it's automat done already, that is faith. Peter's mother in law healed. Now, when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with the fever. So we touched her hand, and the fever left her, and he arose and served them many healed in the evening.

When evening had come, they brought to him many who were demon possessed, and he cast out the spirits what they were, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, he himself took our infirmities and bore our sickness. Speaking of sickness, Lord, please, Lord, ask you in Jesus's name, you show the Missack's name to heal me. Lord, heal my voice. Heal my voice, Lord, please Lord, and amen

the cost of disciple. And when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave a command to depart to the other side. Then a certain scribe came and said to him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go. And Jesus said to him. Foxes have holes, and birds have the air of nests. But the son of man has nowhere to lay his head. So what Jesus is saying right here is okay, you want to follow me, well, understand something. Foxes have holes that they dig they get to burrow in,

and that's their home. Birds of the air they have a home too, They have nests. But Jesus is saying he has nowhere to lay his head. He's homeless. So if you're ready to follow me, you better be ready to be homeless. You better be ready to be persecuted, and you better be ready for a hard ride. It's not easy, and I know that myself. You know, when you start walking with God, your road is not easy. Okay.

It is not about this prosperity gospel that people try to say where if your road isn't easy, then it's because you ain't because you're sinning and you're not saved. Like that is just not true. If you notice the people that have an easy road and they're not being you know, devil's not attacking them, or demons aren't attacking them, it's because you're already in the position the devil wants

you to be. So once you start walking with God, the road gets hard, you know, because narrow is the path, right, It's not a wide path. It's narrow because you have to try to discipline yourself to be obedient. Right. That says, Now we're going to get back to Matthew eight verse twenty one. Then another of his disciples said to him, let me first go and bury my father. But Jesus said to him, follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead. Now, some people will have a problem

with this verse. I even had somebody talk to me on Instagram before about this verse and say, ah, that's look, how terrible Jesus is. Oh my goodness. So if you're gonna follow me, Jesus is saying, drop everything and follow me, just leave it. Because I'm sure there was a lot of people that said, Jesus, I'm gonna follow you. I'm ready to go, and they followed him and they were like, in no way, I'm done. A lot of people will probably weren't committing to the walk because it's not easy

and back then imagine that. Imagine Jesus saying, don't take any money with you, don't take any food with you, and you're not gonna have a place, and you don't have a home. We're gonna go town to town and we're gonna depend on the Lord to provide, God will provide. You know, you walking by faith the people, you know, for some of them, it's it's it's hard, you know. I mean it's hard for a lot of people to just walk by faith. Theyways got to be in control,

you know, it's it's it's hard. But what he's telling them is follow me and let the deadbury of your own dead. What's more important. You know, Jesus doesn't want you to put your wife ahead of him, doesn't want you to put your kids ahead of him, doesn't want you to put your mom and dad, your mommy and daddy ahead of him. Jesus wants you to put him

number one. God wants you to put him number one. Okay, that's what he wants, no matter what your your your work, your job, your business, your bank account, your food, your water, all that stuff, all that stuff that you need to live, you know, this life that we live. Your house, your cars, all this stuff that all gets put on the back burner. Place God first, seek God first, and everything else to follow. Right. So he's just telling this guy, the guy said, I

will follow you wherever you go. Okay, well let's see that. Let me test you, say, he said he's homeless, and then that guy kind of backed out and said, let me go first and bury my father. And back then it was very honorary for you to take care of your parents, so it was honory, you know. But Jesus probably knew that that the father is not going to die as fast as this guy thought, and it was probably just an excuse for this guy to go. It's not explained here, but that's I think I'm kind of

speculating that that's probably what happened. Jesus knows when that father's going to die, and this guy just thinks I need to go back and take care of my dad first. And it's like, wait, we got time for that, bro. If you want to follow me, let's go. If the dead can bury their own dead. And you know what, that might sound offensive to people, but it's not offensive when you know how your walk should be with the Lord. And he's talking to Jesus, God in the flesh himself

right there. So the reason why I know it's right and I know it's okay is because Jesus said it. You know, then we know it's good. We know that Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. So what he's speaking right there is the truth. So wind and wave, the wind and waves obey Jesus. I'm reading the top. There's like a little porson that they give you right there there. All that basically kind of overviews what the what the verses are going to be like. So this

is going to be Matthew eight, verse twenty three. Now what he got into a boat. His disciples followed him, and suddenly a great temptess arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves. But he was asleep. Then his disciples came to him and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us, we are perishing. But he said to them, why are you fearful, oh you of little faith? Then he arose and rebuked the winds and sea, and there was a cop and that there was a great calm.

So the men marveled, saying, who can this be that even the winds in the sea obey him? Stop there? Now, wow, we got the We got the winds and the seas and the storm obeying Jesus. So the storm was there that there was also fishermen's on thet There's like people that were fishermen on the boat. They know that Sea

of Galilee, you know. And what he wanted from his disciples is to act in the spiritual and have faith and decided danger not the physical, and have fear like they had, you know, Like he wants them to not have fear, you know, he wants them to have faith, like, dude, this is Jesus. Dude. He's healing the blind, he's healing people that are paralyzed, he's healing people with leprosy. He's showing you all these miracles right in front of your face.

And you know, but the thing is, they haven't seen him control the weather or stop the waves of the ocean. They know that they you know, are you know, to stop the seas like that. That's something that's like they thought maybe you might be out of his out of his realm, Like hey, he's able to heal, yes, you know, but they didn't know, you know, because they they know that, you know, God is the only one that could that could control the weather and and and and the seas

and the waves. They probably knew because if you go to Psalms eighty nine, verses seven through nine, it says God is greatly to be feared in the Assembly of the Saints and to be held in reverence by all those around him. Oh Lord, God of Host, who is mighty like you, Oh Lord, your faithfulness also surrounds you. You rule the raging of the sea. When it's waves rise, you still them. So even in Psalms eighty nine, verses seven through nine, it says that you rule the raging

of the sea. When it's when waves rise, you still them. You make them still right. So excuse me, we know that Jesus. I mean, some people know. I don't know. Some people believe in the Trinity, some people don't. I do believe in the Trinity. Currently, I'm open. I've studied like crazy on oneness. I've studied crazy you know, Unitarian, and at this moment I'm a Trinitarian. So I do believe that Jesus is God. Okay, But what I would say is he's not really having to say like I'm God.

What he does is he shows you, you know, So anybody that can control the seas, now, do I think Satan he's the prints of the air? I think, uh, governmental means and and and maybe fallen angel technology that they're kind of using where they're able to control the weather in ways. Harp you guys know about the conspiracy of all this stuff, so maybe cause fires, uh, direct energy weapons, you know, a bunch of different stuff that

the government has created, uh through technology. Uh. Where they're able to cloud seed and they're trying to make it rain Operation Popeye. You see, they can make it rain. They can cloud seed Dubai. They did it. So it's happening now. Where they're able to manipulate the weather, but they're not able to stop the wind and not able to stop the ocean and the waves. Okay, that ain't happening. They're able to maybe create some wind, but they're not able to stop the wind by saying wind stop. They're

not able to stop the seas from being raging. And the seas just stop like it like an army. When you say company Holt. You know, you got five hundred people and they're all walking. You say company Holt, and they all stop. That's what the seas did when Jesus spoke.

You see, when God speaks and says, you know, wants to stop the seas, the seas will listen like like like he's commanding the seas, Like as if I was walking with the unit and I commanded a unit, and I told him company holt, and they all stop in unison. That's type of control that Jesus has over over the waves, and the type of control that God has over the waves right here in Psalms eighty nine. It's different, you know, than what the these uh manipulation of whether or counterfeit Satan.

He can't do that. It ain't gonna happen. So he wanted them to have faith, you know. Like Philippians four, verses four through seven, it says, rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice, Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, by thanksgiving, Let your requests be made known to God. So he wants you to be anxious for about nothing, but in everything,

by prayer and supplication, be thanksgiving. Let your request be known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ. So be anxious for nothing he wants. He wanted the people in the vote to probably not stress and not have fear, because therewith Jesus, they're with the son of God. They're with God in the flesh. He wanted them to be not anxious about nothing. He wanted them to be

calm and like, hey, like go about their business. But what happens is the spirit sometimes the flesh takes over and then you start feeling fear and you're like, you know, it happens, you know it happens, believe me. So we're just humans. So these are humans. They're disciples of Jesus, yes, but Jesus wants to teach them, and this is a good way for him to teach them because later on in their life they're going to be put in situations of fear where they're going to have to die for

their faith. And it happens to all of them. Besides Judas obviously that he died in a different way. John he wrote Revelation. He died on an island. But the other ones they were martyred, you know, they were killed their faith. So they're going to be put through the ringer, you know, later on in life. So Jesus wants them to know now to walk by the spirit and not by the physical. Have faith. He's trying to build the faith. Now.

I don't know about you guys, but if I saw someone stop the stop the storm and stop the waves and everything just calm down, then I would definitely be thinking he's more than just a man. Two demon possessed men healed. It says, this is Matthew eight twenty eight. When he had come to the other side, to the country of the urgeonscurgeonsness, there met him two demon possessed men coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that

no one could pass that way. And suddenly they cried out saying, what have we to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God God? Have you come here to torment us before the time? So notice that they they know that they have a certain time limit before judgment. They know that the judgment is not upon him yet, so he's they're asking him. They know who the son of God is. They know that Jesus is the son of God. They live in the spiritual and they obviously fear the Son of God. He has power over them.

These are demons, Okay, So one thing we got to realize is, I mean, I personally believe that there's a separation between fallen angels and demons. Okay, fallen angels, there's a passage in the Bible where an angel, the Angel of the Lord, kills one hundred and eighty thousand men in one night. Angels are powerful, right, so I don't see an angel inhabiting a human. I do see angels coming in the form of a human. That happens. We talked about that before with with when we talked about Sodomigamora,

or the two angels come Hebrews thirteen to two. You never know when you're entertaining strangers or entertaining an angel, You know unaware. So I do believe that angels, they could they shed their okaitarian they're heavenly bodies, and they come down as the form of a human. But I don't believe that they're looking for a body to inhabit. See demons, they are spirits that are looking for vessels to inhabit. Different If you look at the Book of Enoch, what it tells you is that that demons are the

disembodied spirits of the Nephiline. So the Nephylene which happened when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, they ended up boring nepheline. Those children are half angel, half human, hybrid and this is an abomination to God. So those children are not able to be saved. So if you look in the Book of Enoch, it's going to tell you this stuff. Now, I'm not telling you that the Book of Enoch is canon right now, but it is the way that This is the way that

they thought back then. And I'm not saying it's not canon. I can't tell you. I just I don't believe the historicity traces it back to Enoch. But I do believe that the New Testament writers read the Book of Enoch right because it's quoted in Jude and it's quoted by Jesus. So what I will tell you is in the Book of Enoch, it says that the spirits of the Nephiline, the disembodied spirits of the Nephilene, are what the demons are. So that's what it says. I think there's a separation

between fallen angels and demons. Personally, some people don't believe that. Some people believe that demons are fallen angels. But I don't see that. But so let's continue here. So they said, how have you come here to torment us? Before the time? So before the time of judgment. They know that the judgment's going to come, but they're like, it's not right now. It's like, what have you come to do? It says, now, a good way off from there was a herd of

many swine feeding. So the demons begged him, saying, if you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said to them go. So when they had come out out, they went into the herd of swine, and suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea and perished in the water. So the pigs probably when the demons inhabited them, they probably went crazy and they

probably just you know, violently ran into the water. Some people speculate that the demons like to be in the water. Some people speculate, you know, that there may be the water spirits. There's speculation there, you know. But it looks like the pigs that they went into they ended up perishing. And when I was doing studies, they said there there was a lot of pigs there, like some people said, like two thousand pigs, so must have been a lot of demons. I don't know, I'm not seeing that in

the text. But that's what somebody that I study had said. Okay, So then those who kept them fled and they went away into the city and told everything, including what happened to the demon possessed men. And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus, and they saw him. They begged him to depart from their region. So all Jesus has to say to the demons is go, okay, and

they go. Just like I was talking about, how Jesus commands the sea to stop, like like if you're commanding a unit to stop, to hold everybody in the whole unit holds those demons. Jesus says, go and they go. That's it. It's not about like holy water and this and that. Now Jesus doesn't need any of that. Go and they go. He commands them. That's why you know Jesus is God in the flesh. Okay, this is why I believe that Jesus God in the flesh. There's no

man that's gonna walk around and do that. Okay. The demons tremble when Jesus comes, Okay, they're afraid of him. So we finished Matthew chapter eight. If you're following along, we're gonna go to Matthew Chapter nine. Praise the Lord says, Jesus forgives and heals a paralytic. So when he got into a boat, let me get to my notes. I like to pull up the notes. Okay, So Jesus forgives

and heals a parapolytic. A paralytic. Sorry, So when he got into a boat, crossed over and came to his own city, then behold they brought him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytics, son, be a good cheer. Your sins are forgiven. You see, this is another time where people go sins are forgiven? What what do you mean the

sinsor forgiven? We need the guy to be healed. But one thing you got to understand is it's better to go through life as a paralytic, your whole entire life, and and have your sins forgiven and go to heaven than it is to have your your paralytic healed. You know you're not gonna be paralyzed anymore. You're gonna be healed, go through your physical life and end up not going to heaven because you never repented for your sins and you never got faith in Jesus. So people would say,

you know, they could judge certain ways. We're like, ah, this is why would he say that? Oh it's not Yeah, he said, be a good cheer. Your sins are forgiven you. So I think that that's that's it's it's like it's a lot better. But what and showing you though, is that Jesus is God? Because only God can forgive sins, right, I mean a man can't tell you that your your sins are forgiven. Now you could forgive somebody from sinning against you, yes, but you can't give someone salvation. That

can only be God. Right. So this is why the Jews say this. The Pharisees ascribe say this, it says, and at once some of the scribes within themselves, this man blasphemies, because blasphemy is acting like you could do something that God can do. You know, obviously blaspheming God's name, Yeah, that's that's that's blasphemy as well. But if you say, I'm gonna forgive you for your sins and I'm gonna make it so that you go to heaven, now go to heaven like that is blasphemy because you are acting

like your God, you know, so that's blasphemy. That's the reason why they said that, because Jesus says your sins are forgiven. They're like, they're trying to catch obviously, they're trying to catch Jesus slipping though. They want to catch him in any way that they can. They're always listening. They have these little spies that are walking around listening. What is he saying, What did he say? Did he break the law? We want to get him, you know,

because they don't like what he's doing. He's healing. Now. What they don't understand is in the Book of Isaiah, it talks about the Messiah coming to do this and they're missing it. He's right there in their face and they're missing it, you know. So it's just it's fascinating. But Jesus knowing their thoughts, yeah, you see that. Another thing the devil doesn't know. Can't read your mind. He can't read your mind. Okay, he can't know. He knows what you think about, but he doesn't know what you're

thinking at that moment. He knows that you're what your you know, what your hot button is, you know, he knows what makes you tick. You know, he knows how to get you to sin. He knows what you think about, he knows what he can place in your mind to get you to do certain things. But he doesn't know what you're thinking at that moment. He doesn't know how

to read your mind. Not yet. Obviously, pretty soon when they put neural links in your brain and certain things like that, they're trying to get close as they can to having you to reading people's minds. But I'm just saying it says, but Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier to say your sins are forgiving you, or to say a rise and walk, But that you may know that the son of Man has power on earth to

forgive sins. Then he said to the paralytic, arise, take your bed and go to your house. And he arose and departed to his house. Now when the multitude saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men. So you're seeing that it's people are noticing, and the Pharisees are noticing, and people are wanting to

follow him. If you saw somebody that was paralyzed, and a lot of people that they a lot of them, they're they're they're sitting next to the healing well or the healing water for for long periods of time, trying to get healed. And a lot of people see them, and you know, they're probably asking for money, maybe baking for money. Maybe maybe it's somebody that uh, you know, maybe's not baking for money, but they're just they just

want to be healed, you know. And a lot of people in town they see that, and uh, people probably maybe pray for them and stuff. I don't know. But he's coming up to them telling them that you're forgiven for your sins and you were healed, get up and walk. You got to understand and and and it's a it's it's just a beautiful scene here that you're seeing. And I like that they that it's causing people to glorify God. These miracles are causing people to glorify God. And that's

that's great. That's the best you can you can the best thing that can happen. Matthew the tax collector. As Jesus passed on there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office Matthew has to mention himself, that's pretty funny. And he said to him, follow me, so he arose and followed him. So tax collectors, you know, like I think I mentioned that on the lat previous episode, the scribes and Pharisees, they didn't like them at all. The Romans. What they would do is they wanted to

take a percentage of tax. Let's say it's twenty per and then Matthew the tax collector, could charge thirty percent, take the ten percent and give Romans to twenty percent that are due. So they're swindling people out of money. So he's a sinner, right, So that's why a lot of people, you know, despise that. So it says, now what happened as Jesus sat at the table in the house that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and

sat down with him and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners? So sorry, yeah, my throat says, why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners? When Jesus heard that, he said to them, those who are well have no need of a position, but those who are sick. But those who are sick, but go and learn what this means. I desire mercy and not sacrifice. But I did not come to call

the righteous, but sinners to repentance. So first of all, the Pharisees act like their poop doesn't stink, or that they're not sinners. And they just in public act like they're not sinners. And when they're in public, they act like they're righteous, and they walk around like they're righteous. But Jesus knows their heart. Jesus knows what they do at closed doors. Jesus knows the little schemes, the plots, the money scheming off the top. You know, he knows

exactly what's going on with They're a little legalistic. I can do this, but I can't do that. I can't heal somebody on the sabbath. But I can do this, I can't help somebody on the sabbath. You know. It's like because I need to make sure I follow this law. Jesus knows exactly what's going on with them, and he is a like I said, he could read their thoughts. He knows their heart, he knows they're evil. He knows they're good. He knows exactly what's going on with them.

So Jesus was here for you know, he's here for the gentile sinners, for the Jewish sinners. He's here for all that. He's not scared to. He's not like a He didn't want to like come here as a king and sit up on the highest throne, as on an earthly throne, and be super rich and wealthy and have everybody beneath him and have everybody worshiping him. And he said he's got his earthly ministry going where he's a king with gold and all this money, like Solomon. He

wasn't trying to come like that. He's coming here to serve. He's here to serve. It's just it's beautiful, and a lot of people would probably are very They judge like that too. Christians see other people hanging out with someone they would call sinners, and they would judge just like this. And it happens a lot people become like Pharisees. And Jesus is saying, I eat with tax collections and sinners

because I came for them. I am because they're sick, you know, Like he doesn't come from the righteous but for sinners to repentance, So that's why he's hanging out with them. Jesus has questioned about fasting. Then the disciples that John came to him, saying, why do we and Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast? And Jesus said to them, can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken

away from them, and then they will fast. No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch pulls away from the garment and the terror is made worse. Nor do they put new wineskin until old wine skins or else wine skins break and the wine is spilled and the wine skins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wine skins and both are preserved. So so you fast, You fast to get closer to God. Right, how much closer can these guys get? God is with them, so they don't need

to fast. You're not fasting so that other people can see you fasting and say, whoa, look at him. He's fasted for seven days already he's so holy. That's not what you fast. You fast to get closer to God. You're sacrificing your food, You're you're you're basically showing your flesh that your spirit is stronger. And you want to get closer to the Lord. Praying, supplication and and and fasting is made to get closer to God. It's not made for people to see you fasting and think that

you're holy. So if you want to get closer to God, how much closer can you get? He says the bride the bride groom is is with them, So you don't need to fast when I'm when I go away, they will fast, you see what I mean. So, and also like there's a lot of people that don't understand the new Covenant to the old Covenant. So and Jeremiah thirty one, it talks about there's going to be a new covenant, right,

there's a new covenant. So some people need to put away that old and start going with the new Covenant. I know that there's some people that don't believe that, and they believe that you need to follow the old covenant with the new Covenant. But this is saying, you know, no one puts a piece in her cloth in an old garment, and the pats pulls away from the garment, the terrors made worse. Nor do they put new wine into old wine skins. You try to put the new

covenant into the old covenant. Doesn't work, it says, or else wine skins break, the wine is spilled, and the wine skins are ruined. But you put new wine into new wineskins and both are preserved. You see, that's kind of what something that I maybe take from that, Am I right? I don't know, but that's kind of what I think is going on there. Okay, So this is a Matthew nine, verse eighteen. It says a girl restored to life, and a woman healed when he spoke these

things to them. Behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, my daughter has just died. But come and lay your hand on her, and she will live. So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did his disciples. And suddenly a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, come from behind and touched the hem of his garment. For she said herself, if I only touch his garment, I shall be made well. But Jesus turned around when he saw her and said, be good, cheer daughter. Your

faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour. So as you see, she had so much faith that she feels like even if she touched the garment of Jesus, that she's going to be healed. So Jesus said, you're healed, you're made well. He sees that that faith, you know, like, she had so much faith that Jesus turned around when he saw her. You know, Jesus turned around. He felt that he felt that faith,

like wow, he turned around to speak to her. So when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, he said to them, make room for the girl is not dead but sleeping, and they ridiculed him. But when the crowd was put outside, he went and took her by the hand, and the girl arose, and the report of this went all throughout, went out into that all that land. So so there's

flute players and noisy crowd wailing. So people would hire flute players, and they would hire people to like for wailing. It's like out of respect for the dead. So think about this. The girl is dead, people are wailing, crying, and Jesus comes in and he brings her back to life. Who else has done this in the Bible. Elijah has done this, staying at the woman's house her and he rose her son from the dead. So Elijah has done this. Elijah the prophet, very very interesting that he's able to

rise from the dead bring someone from the dead. That is so much faith and that that Elijah must have had. Obviously, God is the one that raises the one. Even the boy that that Elijah raised up, it wasn't Elijah raising it from the dead. It was God raising it through Elijah. And that's through Elijah's faith he's able to rise, you know, raise him from the dead. Right here, Jesus is able to raise this girl from the dead. Do you understand

the people that are around when they see that. Now, when you when you're healing people that are blind, that are deaf, that are leprosy, that are paraplegic, that's one thing which I think is phenomenal, that would be so amazing to see as well. But when someone is dead and he raises him from the dead like this, and the report goes throughout the land, the Pharisees are probably like, listen, guys, we got a serious problem, serious problem, because this guy

is now raising people from the dead. They say this guy because they're disrespectful. Disrespectful, but that's what they're saying, like, hey, he's raising people from the dead. People were following him. Now it's going throughout the land. We gotta be careful. This is gonna get crazy. The people are gonna start now looking at us as the holy ones. They're gonna start looking at him as the Holy One. They're gonna start following him. We don't want that. We want people

to follow legalism. We want people to bring the the sh to bring the lamb for the sacrifice, and then we're going to tell him that the lamb is not good enough. You need to buy our lamb. We need to make that money. We got to make sure that we keep that that money flowing in. We have the riches. We're close. You know, we're the politicians here. We got to make sure that everything is good. We don't we don't want to have a ruckus with the with this guy,

you know. So it's it's it's fascinating, man, Jesus is raising them from the dead. It's so amazing. Two blind men healed. When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, son of David, have mercy on us. And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, do you believe that I am able to do this?

And they said to him, yes, Lord. That he touched their eyes, saying, according to their faith, let it be to you, and their eyes were open, and Jesus sternly warned them, saying, see that no one knows it. But when they departed, they spread the news about him in all the country. Obviously, you get you're blind and someone heals you, obviously you're gonna be like sure, and you're gonna go and tell everybody. So Jesus probably knew that. He told them that, you know, see that no one

knows it. But when they departed, they they're probably so happy and so happy, dude, like, you know, can you imagine if you're blind and you're able to see, you're gonna go spread the news even if Jesus tells you not to. They're probably like, okay, no problem, And they went out and just said, oh, my gosh, I could see who did that. I can't tell us who did it. It was Jesus. It was your shoe of them is sheiak? All right? So, uh, a man's a mute, man speaks.

As they went out, behold they brought to him a man mute and demon possessed. Okay, so one thing you had to understand about back then. The Jews are the people that tried to cast out demons, thought they needed to know the demon's name. They thought they had to know the demon's name to cast them out. So the demons probably thought they were slick, like we're about that,

we're gonna get into this mute. We're gonna possess this deaf mute and that way they can't speak, so it says, and when the demons was cast out, the mute spoke, and the multitudes marveled, saying, it has never seen it is never seen like this in Israel. You know, they've never seen anything like this in Israel. But the Pharisees said, he cast out demons by the ruler of the demons. So you see the Pharisees are hating on him. They're basically saying, this is not God of God. This is

of the devil. The demons are just going along with his little game. And that's basically they're trying to poison the well. You know, they're trying to poison the well with what Jesus is doing. And obviously hard heart filled with pride, not able to accept their messiah, the true Messiah. You're sure with them as giac because they're too hard hearted. They were looking for a king to come in rule and create an army and create peace. Excuse me the

comparisons of Jesus. Then Jesus went out all about the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every sickness in every disease among the people. But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were weary and sca scattered like sheep having no shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, the harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the

harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. So he's healing every sickness, every disease among the people. And he says he is moved with compassion for them because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. So he's saying that the people that are in the synagogues, he's having compassion because they're scattered with having no shepherd. There might be a priest, the Pharisee priests, there might be ones that are trying to be the leader, but

they're not leaders in any way. These people are scattered, and Jesus has compassion for them. Okay, so we've just finished Matthew nine. I'm gonna go to Matthew ten. This is gonna be Matthew ten to one. I'm gonna take a drink of water, all right, Matthew ten, It says the twelve Apostles, and when he called his twelve disciples to him, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all kinds of sickness

and all kinds of disease. Now the names of the twelve apostles were these, and this is the first time that Matthew was calling them apostles. Apostles in the Greek means messengers. Let's let's let's go there real quick. Matthew ten, excuse me. Uh, let's go ahead and go to that word apostle in the strongest accordance. A delegate messenger one set forth with orders specifically applied to the twelve Apostles of Christ, and a broader sense applied to other eminent

Christian teachers of Barnabas Timothy and Sylvenus. So it's a delegate or a messenger of Jesus, okay, delegated by Jesus. Okay, So you had to have known Jesus or met Jesus. I believe to be an apostle. I believe I read that somewhere. So these are the twelve apostles. Are these?

First Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother Philip, and Bartholomew Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphius Alpheus and Lebus whose surname was Theodis, Simon the Canaanite. And Judas is skit, excuse me. And Judas is Scariot, who also betrayed him. Excuse me, all right.

And then obviously Paul becomes an apostle. Okay, So we have that later, sending out the twelve, These twelve, these twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying, do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans, but rather go to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely. You have received, freely give provide me.

Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor copper in your money belts, nor bag of your journey, nor to tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs for your workers worthy of His food. So don't take money for what you were doing. This is not about. Hey, I'll cast out demons and heal you for a fee. You know what I mean. I'll cleanse the leopard for a fee. You want me to raise your son, give me some money. You want me to cast out this demon, pay me. That's not what it's about, Okay.

So now I'm sure that they would they would if they had church, they would be offerings. That's something different. Obviously, It says, don't bring two tunics, because God will provide you're walking by faith. Jesus is saying, if you're going to be my apostle, not only am I going to give you power to be able to cast out demons, healed sick, cleads the lepers, and raise the dead, but I want you to walk by faith. So this is

really interesting. So it sounds like he's trying to provide this to the House of Israel first before they go to the Gentiles. So he's trying to provide this to them, trying to make them realize that their Messiah is here. And can you guys imagine having that kind of power

that Jesus had. He's walking around a city and then you know how many people are dying in that city, how many people and he knows exactly when someone's going to pass, and he knows the pain that people are feeling, and how many people are going to be crying over this person dying. He knows exactly the way they're going to feel. And can you imagine having that kind of power.

People might think that that's a gift and like, ooh, thatd be awesome, but Dan, can you imagine like knowing that someone's about to die and not saving that person but saving another. You see, now, he gave that power to the apostles, and people would probably say, I wish I was the Apostles. I would love to be apostle. Oh man, I would love to heal the sick and cast out demons, raised the dead man. Casting out demons

is probably something that's super you know. Even though you have that power, you probably get a little more comfortable with it. But can you imagine that man must have been a you know, having that type of authority is amazing, you know. And now Jesus, you know, he gives us. He gives us that power, you know, obviously not us power. It's power through Jesus, right through his name, we do have power over the demons. Now, whatever city or town

you we're back at a Matthew ten eleven. Now, whatever city or town you enter, inquire who it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. And when you go into a household, greet it. If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if you're but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. Whoever will not receive you nor your words. When you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust

from your feet. Surely, I say to you, you will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom Gamora on the day of the judgment than for that city. It'll be more tolerable for the land of Sodomegamora and that day of judgment than for that city. So they better, man, these people better take heave, they better take care of these people, because man, he saying that it's more tolerable for the land of Sodommegamora in the day of judgment

then for that city. Like wow, those people in that city are going to be judged tremendously for not having compassion, for not taking care of a guest. We're not taking care of strangers. We're not taking care of the needy. Look what he's saying. It's like, we don't understand that. Like so many people nowadays, they see somebody struggling, or they see like a bomb, or they see someone that doesn't have money, and they automatically just not get away

from me. Let me walk over you. Oh you're drunk, you're sick, whatever, I want to walk over you. Even Christians nowadays, you know, so you got to understand you never know when you're entertaining an angel, entertain strangers, because you never know when you're entertaining an angel unaware like got to understand that. So we have to make sure that we don't judge people, and make sure that take care of people, take care of the needy, give people

jackets off your back. You gotta just love, you gotta have compassion. So this says persecutions are coming. Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise at serpents and harmless as doves. And I think in the King James, it says innocent as doves. So be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves. But be aware of men, or they will deliver you up in councils and scourge you and their synagogues. You will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as

a testimony to them and to the gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak, or it will be given to you in that hour that you should speak. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. So the Holy Spirit speaks in you. Right. So it says to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. So he doesn't want you to be You need to be wise that way, you know when you move, but you need to be harmless, right.

He doesn't want you to be slain people, killing people, cutting people, causing some ruckus, murdering, slandering, doing all this crazy stuff. He wants you to be wise as serpents, harmless as doves. But he wants to let you know that you're going to be persecuted by these people, especially in the synagogues. They're going to deliver you up to councils you brought before governors and kings for my sake. But steadfast, have faith when they deliver you up. Don't

even worry about what you should speak. Don't sit there in the prison where you're like, you know, you're shackled, like what am I gonna say, biting your nails? What am I gonna do? I have fear? Oh? What am I gonna say to them? The Holy Spirit will guide your word and tell you exactly what to speak, when to speak it. You will be taken care of. Walk

by faith. That's what he's saying. Don't worry now, brother will deliver you up to now, brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father, his child and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for your for my name's sake. For he who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in the city, flee to another. For surely I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities

of Israel before the sun of Man comes. So now brother will deliver up brother to death, and father's child and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. Man, they will hate you for his namesake. That happens now right now, I'm a Christian and conspiracy podcaster. Right even having the word Christian there at all, people will automatically slander me, automatically hate me, automatically not even watch my show. But I don't care

because I am going to endure to the end. I am going to keep my faith. If I get slandered, if I get killed, if I get my head cut off, whatever, I am going to stand to the end. See. But I know how it is. I have been in debates with people that are atheists. I know. I've been in a den of atheists. I've debated on shows. I've had it happen like well, they think I'm just an idiot, like I am not smart, I am stupid. They cannot believe that I would believe that the Earth is only

sixty six hundred years old. They can't believe that I wouldn't believe in a Big Bang theory. They can't believe that I wouldn't believe in evolution. They can't believe that I wouldn't believe what scientists say. They just think that it's just man. They they just they look at scientists and the Big Bang and all that stuff. That's their God. But I'll tell you, I will endure to the end. I will take persecution because it doesn't matter if I'm

persecuted my whole entire life. It doesn't matter if I get my feelings hurt. And I can't get my feelings hurt. I've been through basic training, all right. I don't care. Man, I've had the worst time of my life. You know I've been through already. Now, this is this is nothing. I don't mind at all. Tell you that I'll be a soldier for God. So what I wanted to say

is no but persecution. When you're like what they were going through, it must have been tough because they're walking through cities getting persecuted and they don't have a bunch of food and a bunch of money. So when you don't have money, you don't have food, and you don't have anything in your you don't have a house, you don't have a home, all that persecution is probably causing people in the city to feel some type of way, like if I take care of these people, I'm gonna

get persecuted. So they probably stopped them. Probably it probably held a lot of people back from helping them because they're scared of other people judging them. They're scared of the pharisees judging them. They're scared of taking care of these people because of what their mom would say, what their sister would say, what their aunt would say, what their next to, their neighbor's gonna say, Ooh, you're taking care of these people. Oh these are you know? These

are scum? These people are you know? You know they're they're they're doing this in the name of demons, not of God, you know. So he's just letting him know and do her to the end. And you will be saved. Right, So it says a disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. And it's enough for a disciple to be like his teacher and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Bells above, how much more will they call

those of his household. Therefore, do not fear them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. So Bell's above is like the ruler of the demons. Or I would say that's basically like the devil. They're saying that Jesus is casting out in the name of the devil or the ones that rule the demons. So yeah, these these hypocrites and these these these rulers of iniquity trying to say that,

you know, Jesus teaches the fear of God. Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light, whatever you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body and hell. Fear God, Okay, I'll stop right there. Fear God. Right. Fear God. Don't fear people that can kill you your physical body. Don't fear them. Fear the one that could kill the soul

and the body. Wow, that is so deep. Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light, whatever you hear in your ear. Breach off the housetops, start a podcast, start a Bible study. Preach off the housetops. You know what I mean. He's telling you to make sure that you do action. Now you want to be a disciple of mine, Preach off the housetops. That's kind of what I try to what I think people should do. You know, I'm nothing special. I'm nothing special at all.

I just don't mind proclaiming my faith and I don't mind. I don't care whose podcast. If someone asked me to jump on, I'll go because I will always bring people back to the Lord. I will bring the conversation back to the Lord. I might talk about conspiracies, yes, but I will try to relate it to the Bible or bring people to the Bible no matter what. I try to definitely do that. So it's something that we need to all do. And if we get persecuted, who cares.

If someone talks about you who cares. Don't fear those people. Fear the one that kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But fear him who is able to destroy both the soul and body in hell. Fear the one that can send you to hell. Man, are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? Are not them? Are not one of them falls to the ground apart from your father's will. But the very hairs on your head are all numbered. Do not fear. Therefore, you are more

value than many sparrows. God knows every single hair that's on your head that is spectacular to me, and you are more value than many sparrows. So we are way more value than animals. Okay, God values the animals, yes, but we are way more value than that. So do not fear man. Do not fear those that could kill you. Fear the Lord. Fear God makes so much sense. It says, confess Christ before men. Therefore, whoever confesses me before men, I will also confess before my father, who is in heaven.

But whoever denies me before men him, I will also deny before my father, who is in heaven. Now that is very interesting because people need to understand something that is Jesus letting you know that He's gonna be in heaven during judgment and if you deny me in front of men, I will deny you before my Father who is in heaven. So we got to understand that. So that means that Jesus controls whether you have salvation or not because he is able to deny you in front

of the Father. Whoh, you understand that is what he's saying right there. And there's a lot of people that I know that. I mean a lot of people in the flat earth community, a lot of people in Christian conspiracy I'm sorry, not in Christian, but in the conspiracy movements that are denying Christ all the time, that are using you know, Freemasons, secret societies, Illuminati, secret society, Black Nobility, all these different you know, we know what's going on,

you know basically if you dig into that stuff. But you see the Freemasons, they are all about gnarcissism. They're all about, you know, the devil wants you to be like God. The devil wants you to get knowledge, but God is jealous of you. God doesn't want you to be Knowledge doesn't want you to be like God. You see that it's all narcissism, So they that's what they're doing. But they're denying Jesus before men. They're gonna be denied in heaven. So proclaim the gospel. Okay, proclaim Jesus. Do

it as much as you can. And if you're a podcast host, you need to understand something. You could jump on people's shows and there's an audience or your own podcast. You have an audience. You have people that are listening to everything you say, and a lot of people that you're listening to you are trusting what you're saying. So what I would say is you better make sure that if God gives you a flock, you better make sure that you're being that shepherd and you're leading them correctly.

Better make sure you're not denying Christ because a man, some of these shows got twenty thousand listeners and they're over here saying that, you know, talking bad about Jesus and you're denying Jesus in front of man. You better be careful because you will be denied in front of the father. So yeah, that's powerful right there. But know that Christ has the power to deny you in front of your father, and then you would I mean, can you understand that. That's got to understand. Do not think

that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's enemies will be that those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.

He who finds his life will lose it. He who loses his life for my sake will find it. Saying, your physical life you could lose, but you're gonna gain eternal life. Okay, do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. Okay, understand something Jesus is telling you. God is number one. That's why he's putting man against father, daughter against mother. Because they're gonna place Jesus ahead of

all of these people. They're gonna start getting jealous and get mad cause bites and squirrel and listen it happens. Wives right now, go to church, husband stays home and drinks beer all day and watches football. That's a quarrel that is wife against husband when that happens because they're not equally yoked. That's what he's talking about here. Okay, he who loves father, mother more than me is not

worthy of me. Of course. You need to love God more than your daughters, more than your wife, more than your mom, your dad, more than anything, your job, more than money, more than fame, more than riches, more than glory, more than pride, more than power. You need to love God more than anything. That's what he's saying. And it does bring up division because if a husband and wife are not equally yoked, it causes division. Believe me, I've

had it happen in my own relationship. Okay, but my wife when she gets down with church, when she starts going and she starts getting down with the Bible, she goes one hundred percent. It's just right now, you know, I run into little things here and there. I'll just put it that way, because I can teach a lot of people out there the Bible, and I can teach people from my podcast and from this show the Bible.

My wife, she's starting to sit down and listen to these shows and understand what's going on, so it's a little easier. But yeah, she does great though. I love her so much. She is a support. She helps me to be able to do these shows. She watches my kids while I do the show, so God bless her heart. God is great. But listen to that, Okay, it's so

important to be equally yoked. For those young people out there that are listening that don't have a wife yet, that don't have a girlfriend yet, or whatever, listen, when you choose your wife, it is vastly important, especially if you are of the faith. If you're a believer, okay, it is vastly important for you to make sure that you're equally yoked, because it's gonna be you need to be the spiritual leader of your home. And when you have kids, you want to bring them up in the faith.

And if your wife is not a believer, and your wife is like lost in the sauce and she's all secular, you're gonna have an uphill battle trying to get her to believe, and also an uphill battle trying to get your kids to go to church with you, and an uphill battle trying to get your wife to go to church with you, and it's gonna cause problems. Believe me. So. Yes, faith can cause division, but listen, Ultimately it doesn't matter. You need to seek the Lord, you need to read

the Bible. The most important thing is for you to get to heaven. The most important thing is not for you to entertain people. Okay. The most important thing is your salvation. That's what's important. He who finds his life will lose it. He who loses his life for my sake will find it. That's what he's saying. You will find real life. It's called eternal life in Jesus a cup of cold water. He who receives you receives me,

and he receives me receives him who sent me. He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward. And he receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, We'll receive a righteous man's reward. Whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, as surely I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward. We want heavenly rewards,

not physical rewards. We don't care that we don't do podcasts and do Bible studies to profit greatly on earth. We do podcasts and Bible studies for people to profit and get rewards in heaven so people can get saved. That's what it's all about. It's not about like making your pocketbook get bigger. That's not what it's about. It's about heavenly rewards. Excuse me, and thank you for bearing with me for my voice. I feel like it's God

is healing it a little bit more. It's not getting worse when I'm talking when I thought it would get worse. So thank you Lord. John the Baptist sends messengers to Jesus. All right, now came to pass when Jesus finished commanding his twelve disciples that he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities. And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to him, are you Are you the coming one? Or do we look for another?

So he's asking are you are you the one? Are you the Messiah? Are you the maschiok? Are you your shoe of the Mischiac? Are you the Christ? Are you the Christ? Okay, Jesus answered and said to them, go and tell John the things what you hear, and see the blind, see the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the death here the dead or raised up, and the poor have the gospel preach to them. Blessed is he

who is not offended because of me. As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, what did you go out to the wilderness to see a reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see a man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who were soft clothing are in the king's houses. But what did you go out to see a prophet? Yes, I say to you more than a prophet, For this is he whom is written, behold my messenger before your face,

who will prepare your way before you. So John the Baptist is in prison. He is probably in a bad situation, probably feeling like you know, he's probably thinking he's probably gonna end up dying or dead. So he's like, hey, let me make sure that Jesus is the one you know, knowing you know Jesus is his cousin. Okay, guys got to know that. So he's probably just double checking, especially when you're in prison. Man, you probably feel some type of way when you're in prison. So Jesus is just

assuring him. Yes, I am the Christ. Surely, I say to you, among those born of women, there was not risen one greater than John the Baptist. But he is he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and law prophesies until John, and are you willing to receive it? He is Elijah who is to come, He who has ears to hear, Let him hear. But to

what shall I like in this generation? Is it like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling their companions and saying, we played the flute for you, and you do not dance. We mourn for you, mourned to you, and you did not lament. For John came neither nor neither eating nor drinking. They say he has a demon. The son of Man came eating and drinking, And they say, look, a glutton, a wine bibber, a friend of tax collector, sinner, But

wisdom is justified by her children. He's talking about the Pharisees. How they're talking about John the Baptist, saying that he has a demon, and they're talking about how the Sun of Man is eating and drinking, hanging out with the tax collectors and sinners. See that's the Pharisees and the hypocrites talking about them. So he is he is just letting him know. But uh ah, Jesus is like telling him that he's you know, he's not like that. So

woe to the impotent cities. Then he began to rebuke the cities in which most of his mighty works have been done, because they did not repent. Woe to you, Cherizen, Woe to you. Best see it a for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tiree and Sa'ddan, they would have repented long ago and sackoth and ashes. But I say to you, it'll be more tolerable for Tyree and Saddan and the day of Judgment than for you. And you Copernaum, who are

exalted in heaven, will be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works which were done had been done to you in Sodom, it would remain until this day. But I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of Judgment than for you. So they're just not rep ing. Okay, so he's just fed up. Let me look up this really quick. We're in eleven twenty Matthew, eleven twenty. Okay, So let's look up Tyree and saddan Le. Let's find out what that is. Chosen is a town in Okay.

Chosen is a town in Galilee, and it means a furnace of smoke. Excuse me, Let's look up Tyree. Tyree is a rock, a Phoenician city on the Mediterranean, very ancient, large, splendid, flourishing. So Tyree is a Phoenician city, and Syodin Iodin an ancient and wealthy city of Phoenicia. Syodin or Ziodin it means hunting, so just so you guys know. And then Capernaum, let's look that up real quick. Capernia is a flourishing city.

It means village of comfort. Flourishing city of Galilee is situated on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, or the lake near the place where the Jordan flows into the lake. Okay, we go, all right, so we're Matthew eleven twenty five. At that time, Jesus answered and said, I thank you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babies. Even so, Father, so it seemed good in your sight. All things have been

delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the son and the one whom the son wills to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. So I know that the

Pharisees probably thought they knew the Father. A lot of prophets that walked around thought they probably thought they knew the Father. You know, even Moses, Abraham, Isaac Jacob all them probably felt like they knew the Father. People that were probably priests probably felt like they knew the father. But what Jesus is saying that no one knows the Father except the son. Okay, So he's letting him know that he knows the father because he was in heaven

with the Father during the creation. Jesus, you know when he said, let there be, he's speaking, he said, or he spoke, let there be. So Jesus was in heaven with the Father before. Okay, So I think that people need to know that. And uh, it says, nor does anyone know the Father except the son and the whom the son wills to reveal to him. Come to me, all who labor and heavy laden, and I will give you rest, true rest. I will give you salvation rest. He says, you will find rest for your souls. That

means it. You know you will find rest for your souls. Because he's talking about salvation. You know that's how you will have rest for your souls. So his yoke is easy and my burden is light. It's just it's it's awesome for me. I am gentle and lowly in heart. I love that. Okay. So we got about fifty ten minutes left we could try to Uh we could try to knock out Matthew twelve, So we're in Matthew twelve one.

At that time, Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath, and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, look what your disciples are doing. It is not lawful to do on the Sabbath. Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath. Okay, Chad, Jesus is like the Sabbath, All right, let me tell you, he says. But he said to them, have you not read what

David did when he was hungry? He and those who were with him, how we entered the House of God and ate the showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priest. Okay. So he's saying, like, when times get tough and you know you need to eat, you need to eat, you know, like it's not like you need to be like, oh, let me just stop real quick. And he's like, basically, if you're starving and you're in war or in a battle, like David was,

and he needs he needs his men to eat. They would eat, they put the law aside. But these people are so legalistic. They're like, you're trying to do that on the Sabbath. They're trying to find any little thing to get the disciples and to get Jesus on and uh, they're hungry. Okay. So or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests and the temple profane the Sabbath and are blameless. Yet I say to you that in this place there is one greater

than the temple. But if you had known what this means, I desire mercy and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltiness. For the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath. Jesus says, I am lord of the Sabbath. That the Pharisees were probably like, they're probably so mad at him, saying that you know you're the lord of what Like I'm the one that Jesus would be like, I'm the one that gave the law. I'm the one that gave the law. I am lord over the law, And you're trying to tell me what I

could do on the Sabbath. You're trying to tell me what's lawful. I am the Lord of the Sabbath. Wow, that is so awesome, Jesus is that's God is great healing on the Sabbath. Here's another thing, you know, they're trying to say, they're so legalistic. Oh, he can't do that. You can do this, you can't do that. Now, when he had departed from there, he went into their synagogue and behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying, is it lawful to heal

on the sabbath? That they might accuse him. You see, these guys are trying to get him out, trying to get Jesus caught up. I'm trying to make it catch Jesus slipping. But Jesus obviously is not going to get caught slipping. And Jesus knows exactly what the real law even means and what it's created for because he helped God he created it. So he's like, okay, guys, you think you're gonna get me. I know exactly what the

Sabbath is created for. I know exactly why it was created, who was created for when it was created, who was created by? And everything. So then he said to them, what man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the sabbath, will not lay a hold of it and lift it out? How much more value than as a man than a sheep. Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath. Then he said to them, stretch out your hand, and he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole

as the other. And the Pharisees went out and plotted against him how they might destroy him. You see see that they are like, they're like hating what he's doing. They're also hating the fact that he's putting it in their face. He's showing him exactly how the law is supposed to be when these people are supposedly scribes and pharisees, big, big time intelligent people, you know. So Jesus is saying, is it not like like if your wife fell into a pit on the Sabbath, are you going to be like, oh,

I'll get you, I'll get you tomorrow. Honey. You know, I can't do anything on the Sabbath if your dog, you know, is it fell into the water and it can't swim and it's the Sabbath. Are you gonna let the dog die? If your wife fell into the ocean on the Sabbath, are you gonna let your wife die? Because you're not trying to like savor because it's the Sabbath, I can't do any work. Sorry, you're gonna have to die. Let me get another wife. No, you help people out.

So when Jesus is healing on the Sabbath, he's doing good. The Sabbath is the Lord's day, you know. So let's check that out. That's a Matthew twelve, verse eleven. Matthew twelve, verse eleven. Let's look it. But uh, I want to see what the Sabbath means in Greek the seventh day of each week, which was a sacred festival in which they Isuelites were required to with stained from all work. The institution of the Sabbath, the law for the keeping holy every seventh day of the week, a single Sabbath,

Sabbath day, seven days a week. So okay, so not to do any work. I think it's the work that where you would make money from it, but not abstaining from healing or helping people because it's a holy day, right, you want to rest. You don't want to make it basically like you know, if you have a six day work week where you're making money for six days, or you at a job, take that seventh day to rest, don't do any work. Okay, So we're at Matthew twelve,

verse fifteen. I think, let me see. Yeah, Behold my servant is what it says. But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew from there, and great multitudes fall him, and he healed them all. Yet he warned them not to make him known, that it might be fulfilled. But she's spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, behold my servant, whom I am chosen, my beloved, and whom my soul as well. Please, I will put my spirit upon him, and he will

declare justice to the gentiles. And he will not quarrel, nor cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets. A bruce reed will not break a smoking flox. He will not quench until he sends forth justice to victory and his name. Gentiles will trust, And that's what happens. Look at us wrong, gentiles, and I love that, love that and Jesus's name. We trust you're sure. With the Missiak's name, we trust. Yeah, the prophecy has been fulfilled.

That's what's happening right now. It was happening then too. A house divided cannot stand. And one was brought to him who was demon possessed, blind and mute, and he healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw, and all the multitudes were amazed and said, could this be the son of David? Now when the Pharisees heard it, they said, this fella does not cast out demons except by Belzebel, the ruler of demons. Let's look that one up, Matthew twelve, verse twenty four. Let's

see what they mean by that. Belzebub, the lord of the house, a name of Satan, the prince of evil spirits. You see, that's what it is. That's what belzheb. It is the name of Satan. So let's see what Jesus responds. Here, he says, But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself.

But then, how then will his kingdom stand if I cast out demons by belzebog? By whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can you enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods unless his first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house. He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters abroad. So how are you going

to cast out demons in the name of demons? You know, basically saying he's casting out by the spirit of God. Okay, so surely the Kingdom of God is upon you, letting him know. Checking them once again, the Pharisees are just talking with no action and no proof, and Jesus intelligently is respond to them, letting him know exactly what's up the unpartable sin. So that's what the unpartable sin is. When you try to say that Jesus is doing stuff in the name of the devil or Satan, when he's

actually doing it in the spirit of God. Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, will be forgiven men. But the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age nor the age to come. That's what he's saying. He is casting out demons in the spirit of God or the Holy Spirit.

So they're saying that, no, you're casting it out in the name of Satan or so that's what the impartable sin is. That's what it's saying. That's the context there. It's letting you know that the unpartable sin is what was exactly happening. In verse twenty five through thirty. He's telling them, you're getting really close. You're getting super close to the unpartable sin, warning them a tree is known

by its fruit. Either make the tree. Either make the tree good and it's fruit good, or else make the tree bad and it's fruit bad. For a tree is known by its fruits. Broad of vipers, How can can you, being evil, speak good things for out of the abundance of the heart mouthspeaks. A good man out of the good treasure, for his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure, bringing forth

evil things. But I say to you that for every idle wordman say, speak, they will give account word on the day of judgment. For by your words will be justified. By your words will be condemned. You will be condemned.

So fruit, Speaking of fruit, you know, we were talking earlier about not being equally yoked, and like maybe some you know, think about the fruit of the Big Bang theory, the fruit of evolution, the fruit of gnosticism, the fruit of secret societies, the fruit of being a politician that's just money hungry and constantly deceiving people. What's the fruit it's all evil? What's the fruit of people that are money hungry. What's the fruit of alcoholism and pornography and drugs?

It's nothing but stress and anxiety and depression. That is the fruit. But God is telling Jesus is telling you here, you know. And also like there's a fruit in ministry. There's a fruit from spreading the gospel. There's a fruit you know, if you start spreading the gospel and there's no fruit. Then then you know, you got to check yourself. But there should be good fruit in what we're doing here,

this Bible study we're doing together. There should be good fruit that happens through this because we're speaking, we're just we're building faith by reading the word of God. So there should be good fruit. And this is the different type of feeling. You know, when you do this. The reward is is great, not like the reward I don't want to see reward like oh I want to see

money or anything like that. The reward is great for the people that are listening hopefully, and I don't need to know, you know, necessarily what's happening or how many people are being saved or how many people. That's all God. All we're doing. All I'm doing is planting seeds and then it's up to God to water them. God is going to help you, but you gotta water though. You got to. You gotta keep reading Jesus, you gotta get closer to God, you gotta, you gotta just you know,

I'm gonna read the Bible to you. I'm going to try to explain it to you the best that I can. I'm not a preacher. I've never been a seminary school. I'm just a conspiracy theorist that loves the Bible and loves the Lord. And I'm a Christian. Okay, i am just here to teach, but I'm also here to preach. I'll let you know, I have to have some preaching and some teaching here. So Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. We're almost we're coming up. We'll just finished chapter twelve,

and yeah, let's do that. The scribes and Pharisees ask for a sign. See that the Jews always needed a sign. That's why God in the Old Testament kept on giving them miracles, signs, and wonders that people needed. That they needed the signs, and the Pharisees are no different. Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered saying, teacher, we want to see a sign from you, as if you

haven't been seeing signs already. He's healing the blind, the sick, the leprosy, bringing that child to life, these people anyways, But he answered and said to them, an evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given. To accept the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the sun of Man be three days and three nights in the

heart of the earth. You see, he's telling you about what's gonna happen when he dies races again after three days. It's saying he's gonna be in the heart of the earth. Jesus descended into the earth before he us sended to heaven. You see, it's he's breaking it down for us right here. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the sun of Man be three days and three nights in the

heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with the generation and condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And indeed, a greater than Jonah, indeed, a greater than Jonah is here. The Messiah is here, your Christ is here, and they're just not able to see it. They're not able to see it. This is what Jesus is preaching to them. Like the one that's greater than Jonah is here right in front of your face, and you do not even

see it. The Queen of the South will rise up in judgment with this generation and condemn it. For she came from the ends of the earth to the wisdom of Solomon. And indeed greater than Solomon is here. See Jesus didn't need to be that Solomon, that king in the temple with gold and silver and all this stuff. No, Jesus is greater than that, and he is here. He's letting him know. And unclean spirit returns. When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry

places seeking rest and finds none. Then he says, I will return to my house from which I came. And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept and put in order. Then he goes and takes him to seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there. In the last state of the man is worse than the first. So also also be with this wicked generation. I think that's interesting that it says that the unclean spirit goes out of a man and he

goes through dry places seeking rest and finds none. He goes through dry places seeking rest and finds none. I wonder what that means, you know, For the the demon is he goes through dry places, seeking rest and finds none, and then I will return to my house from which I came. It's kind of crazy that he says. Then he goes and takes him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there. Wow, Wow, that's so that's crazy all right. Jesus' mother and brother

send for him. My throat is shot. Jesus's mother and brother said for him, whilst he has still talking to the multitoes, behold as mother and brother stood outside seeking to speak with him. Then once said to him, look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak with you. But he answered and said, to one who told him, who is my mother? And who are my brothers? And he stretched out his hand towards disciples, said,

here are my mother and brothers. For whoever it does the will of my father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother. He's saying, like everybody's his brother and sister is what he's saying. So that's going to end right there. So Jesus is like he's focused on the mission at hand. My brother and my mother. Cool sounds good. Whoever does the will of my father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother. Wow, dude, So next week we're gonna go ahead and pick up

at Matthew thirteen. As long as my voice is here, you know. Geez man, it's been literally like a seven days of this. Pray for me. Anybody that hears this pray for me. I need prayer too, and I'll be praying for you guys as well. I will get into the parable of the sewer, so we'll get into some good stuff. I will study, I will study, I will study, I will study. I will do my best to study

all the chapters. I studied Matthew eight, Matthew ten, Wait, Matthew nine, Matthew ten, and a little bit of eleven. So I got four chapters that I studied. I didn't get all of eleven. But I want to try to study the five chapters that we end up doing. I want to make sure that I study the five or six chapters thoroughly so I could be equipped for every good work and I could try to do my best to explain these verses to you guys. But thank you so much. So let's like I always do, I end

this in prayer. So Father God and the name of Jesus. You're show with the misiak, Jesus the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God. Lord, thank you so much for sending Jesus to come and show us the real way that we're supposed to be. Jesus is the blueprint. He is he explaining exactly the way we're really supposed to worship you, Lord, and he is the mediator between us

and you. Thank you forgiving us that mediator. I know when I'm studying the Old Testament in the Book of Exodus, the priests would have to go into a temple and have to wear these garments, and they go in there and they're the ones that are able to speak to you. Now we have Jesus the mediator between us and you. Lord, Thank you forgiving us to Jesus the mediator. Thank you for giving us your son to die on the cross

for our sins. Lord, we appreciate that. Lord, you gave your only begotten son, for whoever believed them shall not perish. But I should not perish, but I've everlasting life. Thank you for that. Lord, Thank you so much. And you know, when we go through the Book of Matthew, help me to help whoever's listening, Lord, through through my speech, help me to speak the way that you want me to deliver the words. And please, Lord, as I'm trying to

plant seeds, please help it to grow. Help the people that are listening to read your word, Lord, and appreciate your word and appreciate the value of everything that we learn through your Bible or through your word. We appreciate every moment that we have to be able to read your word, and we appreciate you giving us Jesus to explain to us how to thoroughly have a blueprint on how we're supposed to live, how we're supposed to pray, how we're supposed to actually worship you. Lord, Thank you

for that. I really appreciate everything you do for me and for this show and for this podcast, and for the people that are listening. There's a lot of people going through major struggles right now, including my sister. Lord,

you know what she's going through. Please assist her. Anybody that's out there that has a brother and sister that maybe is going through hard times and tough times right now, Lord, I ask that you put your healing hand over them, take them out of this lie that the enemy is bringing them through, dragging them through the mud, tap dancing all over their life and just you know, dragging them through all these hardships, including myself. Lord, assists me to

be holy and set apart. Assist everybody that's listening to have obedience. That's what we want. We need obedience to your word. The way that we show that we love you is obeying your commandments and obeying you. Lord, Help us to have obedience and show us the correct way to worship you, show us the correct way to live. Help us to live your will, and let it be done. Lord. Thank you. I love you and I appreciate everything you do for us and you show them at Seahawk's name. Amen.

All right, let me just stop screen sharing real quick. If you're watching this on video, thank you guys so much for joining this. This is Wednesday Service, episode number three. I hope you are enjoying the New Testament we're going through. Please join me for Sunday Service. As I go through the Book of Exodus, I should be good to have an episode and a Bible study for Sunday Service. I will start studying tomorrow for that one, so you know, guys, I do take my time to study and it is

a lot of time. I have three kids, one two year old, one four year old, and one six year old. Okay, I am juggling. I have a full time job, and in my job, I'm actually on call twenty four to seven. I work for a water district, so I'm on call all the time. So I am very busy. I have Josh Monday, Christian and conspiracy podcasts, and I have Sunday Service and Wednesday service for cult to conspiracy podcasts. Okay,

so I do my best. So if you could, like I said, please leave a review on Apple as well. I like to read those reviews and be like okay cool. It helps me and it helps Jonathan and Jacob know to keep me around. So you guys need to DM them and say, hey, I really appreciate Wednesday service. I really appreciate Sunday service, so they could keep me around. Because there's people out there that need to hear the truth. They need to hear the gospel. They need to hear

what Jesus did for us. They need to hear what God did for us by sinning has only be Godden said. They need to hear this stuff, and they need to hear Sunday Service, which is the Old Testament, which is the foundation, and they need to hear Wednesday Service, which is the New Testament. We're speaking of Jesus. They need this in their life, believe me. So I don't want

this to be taken off the air. I wanted to stay, you know, on cult conspiracy podcasts because I think there's a lot of lost souls that God can save, and the only way for them to be saved and build faith is by hearing the word of God. Okay, Romans says it, Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. We want to equip everybody with the weapons for spiritual warfare. They need to know who's behind all the conspiracies, the devil, the fallen angels, the demons,

they're the ones conspiring. Okay, people need this. So if you could let me know how I'm doing, let me know. You could you could DM me or you could you know, DM Jonathan and Jacob, just to say, hey, keep Sunday Service on the air, keep Wednesday Service on the air, because you know it's helping us out in some type of way. Whatever you want to say. But anyways, I really appreciate you guys listening and I love you guys, God bless you. Follow me on Instagram and follow me

on YouTube, Josh Monday Music and podcasts. Thank you guys so much. Have a wonderful day. God bless
