Lessons on Friendship 12 (Jesus’ Prescription For Attaining Friendship With Senior Authority) | Rev. COS Fawenu

Have your seat in His presence. We are still taking lessons on

friendship and if you have followed critically, you will

discover that why we are teaching or dwelling on the

teachings of Christ of friendship.

We are drawing our examples from the Old Testament, so that will

tell you something about the structure of the Bible.

If you examine your Bible critically, you will observe

that you have more of history of people and nations in the Old

Testament. Yes, you have historical books

in the New Testament 2 but more about the history, genealogy of

Jesus Christ and the history of the church.

Praise the name of the Lord. So, and that is why it's been

very convenient for us since the topic we are dealing with is

about people. So we are taking the teachings

from the teachings of Christ in the New Testament and drawing

are examples as it relates to people from the Old Testament,

which is more, which has more of history of people and nations

for a start. Today, it's also important that

I let you know that every teaching session is a dining

spiritual session, or a spiritual dining session rather.

Every teaching session is a spiritual dining session and

that is why we call this meeting this particular Congress or

convocation of God's people. Every early hour of Sundays

leaders break fast. So every teaching session is a

feeding session where we feast on the Word of God to make us

fit for the rest of life onto eternity.

The law we perform is good purpose in your life.

As I bring the counsel of God again this morning in the name

of Jesus, then why is it important that the man standing

on any pulpit must be apartment to teach?

The scripture says a pastor must be apartment to teach.

One of the ways you can tell if your pastor is indeed a shepherd

is by the compassion he expresses.

One of the ways you can tell if your pastor is indeed a shepherd

is by the compassion he expresses.

Mark 634 and Jesus when he came out so much people and was moved

with compassion towards them. So being the Good Shepherd, when

he saw the multitude of the people and he can see through

into their condition, he can see through into their lacks, he can

see through into the situations they were going through.

The response of Jesus was that of compassion.

He was moved with compassion towards them because they were a

sheep, not having a shepherd. Now their problem, they have

different symptoms. Are you with me?

But the root cause why the problems were there in the first

instance was because they were sheep without word shepherd.

And so as the Good Shepherd having diagnosed what the

problem was, he stepped in. And the first function, the

first role he played by stepping in OK, was what we have in the

last part of that Scripture and began to teach them many things.

Can you see the relationship between the shepherd, compassion

and the teaching ministry? Am I talking to somebody?

So he dragonized properly that the reason they were in their

bad condition was because the large shepherd and as a Good

Shepherd, when he stepped in, he started to teach them.

Don't forget I said every teaching session is a feeding

session, is a spiritual dining session.

So in other words, when scriptures say he began to teach

them is he began to feed them, he began to give them food that

would nourish them. Praise the name of the Lord,

praise the name of the Lord. So one of the way you can tell

if your pastor is indeed a shepherd is by the compassion he

expresses. And the first fighter sign of

that expression is the recognition of your spiritual

needs. No, those multitude of people

that were there, OK, they may not even know that their

greatest need is a shepherd. Those who are physically hungry,

we think food is their problem. Those who have one's bodily

sickness or the other, or those who have material life would

think that was their problem, whereas their real problem is

that they lack a shepherd who will feed them with the Word of

God and by the nourishment they gain from the feeding from the

Word of God. If we address those problems I

pray in the name of Jesus as I come here constantly declaring

the mind of God to you and as we are feeding on the word of God.

It will address all of your situations.

I said the word of God we capable to address all of your

situations in the name of Jesus. I'm saying this that you should

not get tired, OK, of being taught again and again many

things the scriptures say and Jesus have been recognized that

they were multitude that lack is shepherd.

He stepped into their situation and he began to teach them many

things say Lord, I am here, I am available to be taught many

things and of course there are many things that you need to

know. So the first fact, as I am of

the expression of the compassion of the Shepherd after Christ's

manner is the recognition of your spiritual name.

And then the second that now follow is the recognition of

your physical needs. And then the response that a

Good Shepherd we give to the 2 needs, OK, we also follow in

that sequence. We also follow in that word in

that sequence. Let's push back that same gospel

to Saint Mark chapter 6. Maybe we should take the reading

Mark 6 · chapter mention

from verse 30. And the apostles gather

themselves together onto Jesus and told him all things, both

what they are done and what they are taught.

Now the disciples that Jesus brought to himself, he taught

them. After teaching them, he sent

them out to teach others. And as they went teaching

others, science, wonders and miracles were happening.

And then asked him to report back to Jesus what they had

experienced. Then vested one, and he said

unto them, Come ye yourself apart into a desert, into a

desert, please, and rest a while.

For there were many coming and going, and they had no less so

much as to eat. See, this one was so consumed,

OK, and baptized into the spirit of the Word of God, that

physical food really did not matter to them.

And they departed into a desert place by sheep privately in

verse 33, And the people saw them departing, and many knew

him and ran our food either out of our city and outwent them and

came together on to him. It was then that Jesus now saw

this much people in verse 34 and then was moved with compassion.

There was a clear gap between this multitude and the

disciples. Are you with me now?

This discip? The story started with the

disciples that had been with him, that had been taught by

him, that I grew to the level whereby they have even become

teachers of others. But there are a set of new

people, majority huge number that came, who have not had that

opportunity of intimacy with Jesus and to have gone through

his school of discipleship. And so he was moved with

compassion towards them that their own condition can also

change for the better. And then he knew that they had

other needs. He knew that they have different

reasons why they have no migrated to Him to follow up

time to pick one miracle or the other.

But Jesus stepped all that down and started to teach them

because He knew that if they received the teachings, those

teachings will address their other problems.

Am I talking to somebody? But today multitude love to go

to places where they isolate their problem, OK for attention,

rather than give attention to the teaching of the Word of God

that will eventually address other issues.

So Jesus as a Good Shepherd, he responded force to their

spiritual need and then follow up with their physical need.

You will, if you now push the reading further, you will now

discover that after they have made themselves available to be

taught, they never complain. Are you with me?

It was Jesus, they were so engrossed in the teachings of

Jesus Christ that they were hungry and they were not aware.

It was the disciple that I came up and said now that if the evil

has come and this will be going back, we observed that they are

already tired and they need food.

So and in that order Jesus now performed the miracle of

multiply bread, but before the miracle of multiplying bread and

fish, he force sat them down and taught them.

Are you ready to be taught? If you are ready to be taught

that you become great in the Kingdom in the name of Jesus?

So Christ, like pastoral compassion, is not expressed by

pity, but by teaching what is helpful to the congregation.

So the foundation I'm laying today, okay, is for you to

appreciate better the reason we are giving ourselves to teaching

you many things. Are you with me?

So crash, like pastoral compassion is not expressed by

pity, but by teaching what is helpful to the congression.

You now discover that this was later follow up with performing

the miracle of multiplying bread and feast.

But the first thing he did was to feed them with the word of

God. So talk to your neighbor either

close to you or from a distance. Welcome to today's feeding

session. I can hear you say it.

Are you salivating already? Are you salivating already?

God will satisfy your hunger in the name of Jesus.

Now let us take a step back into last week.

We take a step back into last week.

It has been, I mean the focus has been Jesus discipleship

model of friendship and how you can rise by proper behavior, OK,

to become friends to people of higher hierarchy.

Just as Jesus looked at disciple one day and he said at this

moment by the reason of the teachings you have accepted and

how much you have grown, OK, I no longer call you servants.

You are now my friends. I no longer call you disciple,

but you are my friend. And we have been looking at the

example of how Eliaza of Damascus, a servant in the

house, rose to become a confidant, OK, a covenant career

of the spiritual heritage of Father Abraham's family.

So we are still taking back into that study particularly because

we have committed to paralleling lots and Iliasa so that you can

pick from these two which type of brother, sister you want to

be. So a step back into last week's

study reveals that Uncle lots less than honorable behavior.

So the behaviour of Lords can be described as one that is less

than honourable. So it's less than honourable

behaviour carried incalculable negative generational

consequences. And we're going to explore that

today. Remember, he chose the plane of

Pseudo and forfeited the plan of God.

He chose the plain of Sodom. He forfeited the plan of God.

He mingled with a society that are not in any way related to

his covenant prospects in destiny for the fact that Father

Abraham picked him and embark on the journey that God has

instructed him to embark on with him when it was not mandatory

upon father Abraham to do so gave him the opportunity to be

introduced into the covenant heritage of father Abraham

lineage. Are we together.

So which means he had a lot of prospects, lot of prospects in

that covenant equation. Then when you now examine him by

the wrong decision he took to disengage from Father Abraham,

you will notice that he eventually got married.

The probing question is from which land did you think he got

married from? Because we have an historical

trend of where father Abraham married from, an historic trend

of where Isaac married from, an historic trend of where Jacob

married from. There's no such record about

Lords if he told Dena Lutin Yahoo.

We are trying to explore the incalculable negative

generational consequences that is wrong choice brought upon his

posterity. So he most probably got his wife

from among the people that I was that the land God called Abraham

to live. It's part of the fact that he

was so privileged to be taken along by Father Abraham and also

follow after the pattern and godly lifestyle of Father

Abraham. So we're not taught specifically

from among which nations of people he marry from, but

certainly there is no record that he went back to his kinsmen

to get a wife according to the pattern established by Father

Ibrahim. Then raising of his children, he

raised his daughters even among these people, the people of

Sodom that were engaging in abhorrent practices.

So he raised his daughters among them, such that despite being

virgins in an ungodly land, those lady tried so much, but

they did not have either a father or a mother that helped

them. Because if the manner of

iniquity that is recorded about Sodom and Gomorrah was what we

have, and those guests who stays who stay as fetching up to the

moment when Sodom and Gomorrah will be destroyed.

Indeed those ladies were virtuous, but in spite of that,

the place chosen. By their father to live still

eventually had negative influence on their destiny.

The problem we don't know or most parents don't know, is that

the choices they are making today OK.

Whether I turn out well or turn out the other way is not only

about them, it's also about the future of their children.

The simple decision of we are Lord OK, we put in shock, we are

in, we practice his trade is what has brought these

consequences. Am I talking to somebody We know

it's about we are in in looked up and saw the plane of sudo

that it was good for commerce. It didn't factor in what is the

spiritual condition of the land that was good for commerce.

Am I talking to somebody that is and that is your view of so many

parents that are just about financial fortune.

You don't consider what is the spiritual climate, What is the

spiritual environment? What kind of influence the place

you are choosing to dwell will have on your children?

So this virtuous godly daughters eventually succumbed on that

situational pressure to a method of procreation that was even

worse than the one being practiced by the accost people.

What did they do? They made their father to sleep

with them. You know when eventually the

Angel came and pulled lots out of Sodom and Gomorrah so that it

will not be destroyed. The Bible mentioned to us that

the wife look back even when they have been instructed to run

out of that land and never look back.

The wife look back and she became a pillar of salt while

the why did she look back? She looked back because she

prioritized material things over her soul, over the salvation of

our life and of our family because when they were living,

they have so much weight in that line.

When they were living, they were living with nothing.

So on our mind where the ghosts and the jewelries, all the

collections she had hey. And in the process, she did what

she looked back. Number one negative consequence

of the choice or the number two negative consequence of the

choice of father, Lord, a woman he chose.

A woman that prioritise her physical beauty above the

prosperity of her soul, above the salvation of her life and

that of her and that of her family.

She looked back then the angels now pointed.

Lords go to the Monty. Lord said no.

So my Lord, let me go to the play now.

By the time we will get to the play it, you know when there is

danger. When there's danger you should

know that a right thinking person will run to the mountain.

Are you with me? When there is danger, either

fire or flood, whatever the danger is you are server on the

mountain than in the plane. But Lords chose to go to work to

the plane and he got to the plane.

By the time he got to the plane, he discovered that nobody was

there with him. Every other I think person have

run to the Monty. Am I talking to somebody In the

first instance? He was not supposed to be told

to run to the Monty. When fire is spreading, it's

easier for the fire to burn in the plane.

OK, that will climb the mountain.

Even if it will climb the mountain, it will take much

time. Am I talking to somebody?

And if it is flawed, the same. But yet he was being told the

right thing. OK.

Meanwhile giddy occur. He was choosing his own way

above godly cancer. Is that not your situation too?

What value did you put on godly cancer, Godly advice, godly

instruction, and for every wrong decision you are seeing the the

messy outcome. And yet you continue to follow

that same path of evil, that same path that is destroying

your life. That same path, OK, that is

making you retrogressive instead of progressing in destiny.

So a situational pressure now came up.

And what was the situational pressure?

There was nobody around, OK, that we marry these guys and I

was no more than a gay, OK to stand there and give them the

right can say. And all of these were coming up

because of the wrong choices of the father.

So the lady concluded among themselves in their navity that

is this how we are going to continue and die without our own

children. Let's get our father drunk, OK?

And they make they get him drunk.

The first night the senior sister slept with the father got

pregnanted. The second night the younger

sister slept with the father. OK got pregnant and the risk

pastor generation. So he raised his daughter among

the pseudomites so that despite being virgins in an ungodly

land, this lady eventually succumbed on that situational

prayer to a method of progression that was a cause

they made their father to sleep with them.

Now, what were the covenant prospects that Father Uncle Lot

bungled? Let's prove that more because of

his many wrong choices, starting with choosing to disengage from

Father Abraham #1 his session with Father Abraham gave him the

opportunity of becoming the potential manager of Father

Abraham estates. We read in Genesis 24.

That's why Father Abraham was trusting the Lord both in

Genesis 15 and Genesis 24. Why was he trusting the Lord?

He appointed Eliza of Damascos the manager of his estate.

And we also saw that the first person that will have fallen

into that office of honorable responsibility was not because

why it was with Father Abraham. Father Abraham allowed him to

have his own flock and also have his own servant, so he had no

reason whatsoever OK to make the kind of choice he made.

But by that wrong choice he lost that prospect of becoming the

potential manager of Father Hebron estate #2 he lost

personal prosperity. Because whatever he got from

Father Adam and Abraham and he took to the Plain of Sodom, and

whatever he multiplied in the Plain of Sodom were eventually

destroyed by fire. So he lost personal prosperity

#3 You also lost protection under the patriarchal blessing

of Father Abraham, because at a point some enemy came and

conquered him, took him a slave, collected everything that he

had. It was his father Abraham again

that someone, the servant of his house that have been trained in

warfare to pursue after the enemy, to rescue Lords and

recover everything that was stolen from him.

So if he were under the covering of Father Abraham, the enemy

wouldn't have messed up with him to the extent of capturing him

as his slave. So he lost his freedom to become

a slave until the mercy of God and the compassion that Father

Abraham had towards him got him rescued.

I said last week that if your your divine conference is in a

village, you better stay there then move to the city where the

company will be removed and your destiny will be in danger.

Then he lost permanent, I mean permanent connection to the

Abrahamic Covenant. And that is another area we are

going to prove properly do. There was a mention of it when

we're doing the reflection last week.

And that permanent, permanent connection will have come by a

possible marriage between one of those daughters and Isaac.

Are you with me? If he has stayed in the state

with Abraham and not moved to the plain of Sudo, there's a

possibility, very high possibility, that Isaac will

have married one of those daughters.

I mean, I can't. You can put me through again.

No. Isaac will have married one of

the daughters of Lords. Are we OK?

Are you following me? Asik will have probably most

probably marry one of the daughters of Lot.

And then if again the time he had issue with the destruction

of Sodom and Gomorrah and the Angel said move to the mountain,

maybe after the trouble was over, he now decided to return

back to Father Abraham. Because the destruction of Sodom

and Gomorrah happened in chapter 19.

The decision for who will marry, I mean who will Isaac marry came

up in chapter 24. Are you following the sequence?

So assuming in chapter 19 he reunited with Father Abraham,

there may not be any need for Father Abraham asking alias of

Damascus to travel very far again to go and get a wife for

Isaac. Because the priority and the

concern of Father Abraham is that Isaac, my son, should marry

from our lineage and not marry from among the foreigners.

Am I talking to somebody? So he lost permanent connection

to the Abrahamic covenant through a possible marriage

between Isaac and any one of his daughters.

However, by his wrong choices he bungled all this.

He disengaged prematurely. His wrong choice led to a number

of many messy outcome. He became vulnerable to the

enemy's attack. He was captured by the enemies.

The daughters stayed single because they could not marry

homosexual Sodom men. Hello.

Up to the point where the Angel came to Sodom, those daughters

were described as virgins. Are you with me?

So they stayed pure because they could not marry homosocial Sodom

men. However, when all hope was lost

due to the wrong choices of the father, AOB hear me, hear me

well. Parents hear me, hear me well

again. The choices you are making

today, the consequences of them, will not only be about you, it

will also be about these children.

So out of desperation his daughters got him drunk.

I made them father their children.

You'll find out in Genesis chapter 19.

Genesis 19 · chapter mention

That story is captured in verse 30 to 38.

Whereas these daughters of Lords should be Abraham first

consideration as wife to Isaac. And I'll prove that because by

the time Isaac was right for marriage in Genesis 24, they

were already defined by their father.

And of course, by the marriage standard of that era, Isaac was

free to marry any of Lot's daughters.

Isaac mother Sarah was that for all half sister to father

Abraham, you know, in many places in the journey of Father

Hebram. OK, when he perceived that

there's going to be a problem or a contention over Sarah, he will

not introduce Sarah as my wife. He will rather introduce Sarah

as sister. And he was not lying because

Sarah was Father Hebram after half sister.

She was the daughters of Abrams father from another mother.

You can find out in Genesis chapter 20 verse 12 where I said

Genesis 20:12

point blank that Sarah was my sister do not the daughter of my

mother but the daughter of my father.

So by the marriage standard of that era, it was permissible for

Isaac to marry any of Lord's daughters.

So we can therefore say that it was perhaps due to in

availability of Lord's daughters that Abraham had to send Eliza

to go back to another of his kinsmen, the man named Betwell,

the son of Naho, Abraham's brother.

So the father of Rebecca, OK is Betwell, and is the son of now

OK, and now his brother to Abraham.

And it was living farther away, and that was from there that

Eliza had to source for Rebecca. So this era of Lords became

compounded and it emanated from a simple but costly error of

judgment of disconnecting from his destiny helper.

Whereas the opponent was open to him to occupy the office of the

heir to Hebram when Isaac was still being awaited, but he did

not see that vacuum to occupy it.

So he made many wrong choices that turn out with mercy

outcomes. I pray in the name of Jesus

decisions that we take, I will produce mercy outcome.

The Spirit of God will direct you away from such decisions in

the name of Jesus. No Imagine if Isaac had married

any of those wonderful daughters, even Jacob.

OK, when he was to get married Rebecca came up.

I said go to Laba my brothers house.

That is where you should marry the you should marry from.

So from our study of our Elias of Damascus rose to become a

confidant of Father Abraham, we can deduce that friendship is an

institution born by long time interaction.

Friendship is an institution borne by long time interaction,

the type that is characterized by loyalty.

That was what Lot lacked, but ilias I had in abundance.

So friendship is an institution borne by long time interaction

characterized by loyalty and not just mere cultural connection.

So that was why Abraham didn't bother looking for Lords I hand

over to him. OK, He had to hand over to

Ilyasa of Damascus that has fulfilled that condition of long

time interaction. Characterized by what?

Loyalty. So friendship, OK, that will

make you rise OK to the level whereby you benefit from both

the horizontal blessing that come from friendship and the

fatika blessing that come from being friends to people of

higher Iraqi does not follow cultural connection line.

It follow long time interaction line that is characterized by

loyalty. It is never a short time

spontaneous event. It's never what a short time

spontaneous event? How much are we going to say?

Abraham knew about lots because it is engaged to Ali.

Are we together? Are we together?

The sale boy OK is more trusted than you by your uncle and you

will commit so much responsibility to him and then

you'll be complaining and grumbling behind that.

My uncle did not like me. Your uncle did not like will not

Will not. He likes you, he loves you, OK,

but you have not satisfied the condition of long time

interaction characterized by loyalty that can make him to

have been able to prove and test you so that he can now commit

his estate unto you. Are you with me?

You just want to count on cultural connection to get it.

It doesn't follow that way. So Elias has stayed long enough

to be regarded as the Eddest, Eddest son of the House of

Abraham. And then you will also read from

that account in Genesis 24 that it took Abraham a 10 year old

age before assigning him the most critical assignment of

getting a wife for Isaac. Genesis 24 the 1st 2 verses

again. And Abraham was who were

striking in age and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.

And Abraham said on to is eldest servant of his house.

There were other servants there. Are you with me?

Lord was not yet dead. But this responsibility can't go

to any short time servant and it can't go to the cultural line of

the Lords. OK, that was not stable.

Are we together? It has to go to the earlier

Sabbath of his house that rule over all that he had.

And of course, as we try to wind down to continue next week.

This aligned perfectly with our Lord Jesus Christ in the way he

also handled the progressive development of his disciple to

the point where he said at this point I will not just regard you

as disciple, but I will call you my friend.

So this aligned perfectly with our logistics.

Christ Mulder who took his time before he designated his

disciples as friends. It took him so more time before

he designated them as a friend In 1515 of Gospel account to

Saint John Hensford. I call you not servants, for the

servant knew it not. What is Lord?

Do it now. That's your uncle's business

that you want him to entrust to you.

How much do you know about how he's doing it?

But I have called you friends for all things that I have heard

of my father, I have made known unto you.

Then when we parallel this with the time he designated them a

post to, you will discover that it didn't take him so much time

before he designed them a post to.

But it took him time before he designated them as friends.

That again bothers the facts. OK or confirm my position that

the highest form of interpersonal relationship is

what is friendship wasn't work or lose or what opposed to am I

talking to somebody. So please know that it did not

take him so much time or so much time to designate them as

opposed to Luke 613. And when it was dead, he called

on to him his disciples and of them he chose 12 whom your whom

also he named apostles. That happened very highly in his

ministry. Am I talking to somebody?

So it's important that you now know this related to your office

OK of service is different from your office of God's confidence.

So be an apostle, pastor, evangelist, Esteria.

All these are service level relationship.

They are only present to friendship level relationship.

I'm a pastor, I'm an evangelist, I'm an apostle, I am a dicky.

All of these, they are service level relationship, they are

only president to friendship level relationship.

So you can come into those offices, OK where you are here

to be a friend of God. You will notice that not all

patriarchs of faith operated at the friends at the friendship

level with God. Not all patriarchs operated at

the friendship level with God. I pray that we so grew that God

will be able to trust us OK to the degree that will become his

friends in the name of Jesus. So in the same manner that not

all patrias rose to the level of being friend with God, not all

pastors operate at the friendship level with God.

Not all pastor operate at the friendship level with God.

After Abraham. We have to wait and it was Moses

time before we have another friend of God.

Go read your Bible critically after Abraham.

We have to wait until it was Moses time before we had another

friend of God, Not Jacob, not Isaac.

I think that friendship status, why it is never a cultural

inheritance. I said that already when we are

looking at Lords Iliaza Ibrahim that it didn't follow the

cultural connection line. Are we together?

So friendship is never a cultural inheritance, rather

friendship is learning and loyalty based.

Someone O3 verse 7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts

unto the children of Israel. 2 clear categories of relationship

with God, the one that know his way and the order that is just

either a beneficiary or a spectator of his acts.

And you can fall into any category.

OK, but I pray over my destiny I will fall into the Moses

category. I will know the ways of the law.

Hello, Jesus is a miracle worker, but it's also the way,

the truth and the life. So do you know Him as the way,

the truth and the life? Or you only experience Him as a

miracle worker, as one that give you bread, as the one that hands

out your prayer? Or do you know Him as the way,

the truth and life? You are safe.

Far from starting the journey of becoming a friend of God, He

made known His ways unto Moses. No wonder Moses who can become a

miracle worker. He could pass the rest his acts

unto the children of Israel. They needed protein, oh quirky,

they needed food. Manner in down their water was

bitter. So they were either spectators

of the wonders of God or partakers of the wonders of God.

They didn't know the way of God. Even those that were companions

to Moses, OK, one day they stood up and said, is it only Moses

that God is speaking to? We are also prophet and God say

well OK, in this Kingdom there are men and there are boys.

The men's know the ways of God. The boys, the girls, they only

see the hearts or experience the hearts.

Numbers 12 and Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, that's this

one, because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married, for

he had married an Ethiopian woman.

And they said, had the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses?

Are they not spoken also by us? And the Lord had it.

I said to you already that not all patriarchs rose to the

level, not all matriarchs rose to the level of becoming a

friend to God. In the same way, not all pastor

operate at the level of friendship with God.

Service level relationship is different from friendship level

relationship. So they were at the service

level relationship and they were comparing themselves with a man

that has rushed to the level of friendship relationship.

And they said had the Lord spoken only by Moses?

Had he not spoken also by us? And the Lord had it.

Please young man, when God start to move you, I started to know

to operate in some levels, OK, those babas OK, because they

don't have so much energy to jump up and down the way you are

jumping off. Be very careful.

You may not have attained the level by which they are

operating we go. They may not have your charisma.

In fact, they may lack your kind of popularity, OK, but the kind

their own kind of route has grown deeper, deeper, deeper

down there, though you have grown taller.

Am I talking to somebody? And they said had Lord this

spoken only by Moses? Had you not spoken also by all

and the Lord had it. You know, you you, you know what

was tempting them to do all of that because as at that time the

road of Iran, OK, as boded almond and the rod of Moses is

there as dry as it was. I am I talking to somebody is as

dry as it has always been, but it has never lost its potency

because as a relationship, OK, that happened between God and

Moses. OK.

That convert potency upon that road?
