-
Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do
-
you know it is inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,
-
subscribe and support this podcast. So we are mere Nathal
-
ministries and now Redemption draweth nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen,
-
Welcome to the fellowship. It might be an interesting one.
-
I have nothing planned, and well that's kind of the
-
best way to fellowship. Before we got started, we were
-
talking about some strange things that's happened. I don't think
-
we're going to concentrate on that too much, but I
-
guess I'm just going to open the floor or for what?
-
What does everybody want to talk about? Is there any
-
specific topic we should cover? Anything you want to talk
-
about at all will do. And I probably should start
-
by picking on Tammy, Jammy, what what have you got
-
going on? What's what's on your plate? What have you
-
been thinking about today?
-
They been praying a lot for Sherry. They're really sick.
-
There she's got COVID.
-
COVID again, So there's a resurgence of COVID.
-
Yeah, when not when you were saying you had a
-
bad day Thursday and that we should expect something, that's
-
when she found out she had it so.
-
Really well that certainly followed suit because I well, my
-
warning was dead bang, that's for sure. Yesterday was whopper
-
as far as I'm concerned. But all right, yeah, we
-
can certainly pray for Sharry, and that means everybody, because
-
if we're having more COVID outbreaks, that's that's not good
-
going into the wintertime. And I mean, I hate to
-
say it, this is a repeated history, right because it's
-
the exact same time that it happened last time. So
-
and I'm sure everybody's kind of super charged. I mean,
-
I don't watch TV, so I'm out of that loop,
-
so I don't I'm sure everybody's being inodated with political crap.
-
I mean, I'm just absolutely sure of that, and I'm
-
sure that you probably can't believe half of it. So
-
but having said, is there anything you want to talk about, Sammy.
-
Well, there's been some interesting things that we've been talking
-
about with prayers, decreeing things and stuff and how that
-
much that seems to me a bad thing, kind of
-
almost like name it and claim it kind of stuff.
-
And with Jenny, it goes along with Jenny's research into
-
the stuff going on at her church with deliverance ministries
-
and all of that.
-
So that was kind of interesting.
-
Cock we had. Yeah, well what so you talked about
-
this privately? Yes, well, why don't you share with us
-
your your conclusions.
-
Well, it almost seems like they're trying to manifest healing
-
by decreeing it happened like superseding, like like we're supposed
-
to have authority to say.
-
What the healing is and then it'll happen like manifest
-
it or something.
-
Really, yeah, I mean that just seems like that's the
-
way they're praying.
-
Well, well, I would take umbrage with that. That's not
-
how I see it. That's that's not what my ears heard.
-
You know what my ears heard? What they were prophesying.
-
Ah okay, because this isn't my first rodeo. So you
-
used language indicative of prophesy. They were prophesying this, This
-
had happened in the present tense. You say that they
-
were naming and claiming it. They were taking what was
-
coming out of their mouth and putting it in the
-
present tense. They were not well, let's save those comments
-
for later. Would you agree that's what they were doing?
-
They were prophesying.
-
Well, that makes sense the way that you say it
-
that way, but to me it just seems the same
-
thing as almost like a spellcrafting, like you know, and
-
that when they do that t thing trying to make
-
it happen.
-
Well, yes, that's another way to put it, because that's
-
what the craft is. Okay, let me explain something to you. Okay,
-
So we're going to use the most popular one. Okay, okay,
-
the most popular one is that you you produce an
-
incantation and that produces a strong affection in someone else,
-
right right, right, Okay, that's a profit you're prophesying if
-
you produce an this this incantation. All cabalist knows that
-
that's a prophecy. You're prophesying that so and so is
-
going to be enamored with you.
-
Right, well, that's a good thing in my opinion. I
-
don't know if that's you know, something that Christians should
-
be doing.
-
Of course that's witchcraft. Yeah, okay, that's that's so so
-
in effect, whether you know it or not, that's what
-
it's doing. They're they're attempting to prophesy.
-
So decreeing a thing over the church, body or a
-
person is actually witchcraft. If you're sitting there and you're decreeing,
-
you're you're doing this, you're kissing it.
-
What do you say if you say, if Jesus name,
-
do you cast something out or you heal somebody in
-
she's name? What about that? What what are you claiming? No?
-
Is that is that that? I mean, if they're doing
-
it in Jesus name, then how is that spellcraft? If
-
they're not, you know, like, it's not spellcraft. If they're
-
they're calling on the power of Christ to help them
-
heal the person. That's not what she said. Oh, that's
-
absolutely not what she said. She said, these people, we're
-
naming it and blaming it. They were saying this thing
-
was going to happen. And that's why we're getting ready
-
to go to the actual text and see what is
-
actually going on, because I mean, everybody knows, I mean,
-
this is not fictional. Everybody knows that Jesus taught us
-
how to pray, right.
-
Right?
-
Yes? Okay, So with that in mind, do you remember
-
how he directed us to pray? Yes? Really? And does
-
it have any of the elements you just described? No?
-
No, that's why so much what they when I heard
-
decreeing over your authority over an illness, like you're decreem
-
you're you're healed or whatever. It's like, you know, you're
-
circumventing the whole repenting and putting God's in authority over us.
-
And yes, he wants us, he said, by his by
-
his strich.
-
He we remind of that when we pray.
-
That's okay. But to say.
-
That's what's happening, it's almost the same as they're afraid
-
to say I'm sick because they don't want to claim
-
illness either. They think if it comes out of their
-
they say I'm sick, that they're claiming that they have
-
the illness.
-
Right, they're prophesyingphesy. They're prophesying their own sickness. Yes, I'm
-
I like I said I. Once you realize that's what
-
they're doing. Okay, that's what they're doing. Ladies, when you're
-
trying to name it and claim it, you're prophesying. That's
-
what you're doing. Okay. So you would you like me.
-
To share the link this came from. It's very short, Sure,
-
go ahead and share very short? Man shared?
-
And where did you share it? To?
-
Ecclesia?
-
Okay? All right, so I will go there. This is
-
always so entertaining when we do this live.
-
Okay, because I couldn't see what Tammy was saying. I
-
don't believe in commanding God, I never have, but I
-
can't play standing his word and speaking it in part here.
-
I do believe in that.
-
All right, I see the link. I'm gonna have to
-
check it out later because that's a video, right, yeah,
-
part one. But it's the same thing. Okay, this is
-
the same dog.
-
Well maybe if you're gonna listen just later, Max's time,
-
come back and and help us, help us to see you.
-
Sure will, I will certainly do them. Yes, you're welcome.
-
So getting on with the point once you understand that.
-
And that's why somebody would be scared saying that they're sick.
-
They're saying that. It's not that they're proclaiming. They've deceived
-
you with phraseology. They've deceived you with phraseology. What they're
-
really meaning is they're prophesying, not proclaiming. Okay, and they're
-
doing this so that you don't know what they're actually doing.
-
It's tricking you. They're deceiving you. They don't want you
-
to know because if it doesn't happen, that makes you
-
a false prophet, and that's dead bang. The worst thing
-
you can be is a false prophet. So they just
-
change the terminology. That's what they're doing, to change in
-
the terminology on it. So we're going to consult the
-
Lord Jesus Christ. Let's consult him. I don't care what
-
these god haters say. And that's a fact I never did.
-
I never did care what they say. I always cared
-
what he said. So let's run through this and let's
-
see if we can get any of the name it
-
and claimant elements out of his prayer, because if it
-
don't come out of his mouth, it's a lie. And
-
that's what really makes me mad. They say that the
-
Lord Jesus Christ is their father their name that means
-
the devil he is their father. Now, when you take
-
a deep breath and inhale that and get a great, big,
-
great big lung full of that truth, it will scalize you.
-
It will sterilize you from their deception. So let's try this.
-
Our father in heaven, hollow be your name, your kingdom. Come,
-
you will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
-
Give us this there daily bread, and forgive us our
-
debts as we forgive our debtors and lead us not
-
into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for yours is
-
the Kingdom of the power and glory forever. Amen. Well
-
it was really quick and easy, right, I read it
-
straight from the New King James Bible. So, Tammy, where's
-
the name it? And claimant elements in this prayer? Nowhere
-
they do not exist. They don't exist.
-
And that is something that is happening in the church.
-
And it's not just with the healing stuff. It's like
-
you're you're decreeing things over your children. You're decreeing all
-
these things. You know that that.
-
That's a prophecy.
-
Now that makes sense when you're decreeing something, you're prophesying
-
over your kids and stuff all that. Yeah, yeah, so
-
that's that's all something that you know is popular right
-
now in the church.
-
It's whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa wo wha whoa who
-
back up, honey, Yeah, you need to fear God.
-
Yeah don't. I'm saying is that there there's a lot
-
of people that are doing that, teaching that that's what.
-
We're supposed to do with our kids. That's what they're teaching. Well,
-
that's not what the Ecclesia is doing no.
-
But I'm just letting you know that I see it
-
out there all over the place.
-
Well, those are not churches. I'm gonna say it to you, plain,
-
they are not churches. Okay. By definition, the ecclesia does
-
not do that. The Ecclesia fears God and she only
-
prophesies when God tells her to. So you need to
-
fear God. Looking forward, ladies and gentlemen, you need to
-
begin to fear God, and you need to be careful
-
what comes out of your mouth.
-
So that makes even more false prophets out there than
-
I was even thinking of.
-
Yes they are their father is the devil. Yeah, they're
-
everywhere now, Yes, and their father is the devil, and
-
they are not the church. So you know, boy, the
-
Lord's prayer is such a sterilizing agent against the devil's wiles.
-
It's just too simplistic to contradict, isn't it. You know?
-
And the most important thing. I've been saying this a
-
lot here lately. You need to understand that what is
-
being said here, ladies, gentlemen. The first look, when you
-
pray the Lord's prayer, when you say our Father, you
-
don't mean you and other Christians. That's not what you're praying.
-
You're saying that you're personal and Jesus's personal father. That's
-
the father you're praying to when you say that, you
-
when you say our Father, which are in heaven, it's
-
not every Tom, Dick and Harry's. It's yours and Jesus.
-
It's a personal prayer because when God hears that he's
-
your father and Jesus's father, now you're getting somewhere, Okay,
-
most people. And it blows me away because even in
-
I was literally living in the Christian Ministry's dormitory okay,
-
at a Christian school. Okay, they did not know this.
-
And it really confused me how I figured it out
-
because I was in school, Okay, I was in class.
-
It was New Testament literature. We get to this chapter
-
and everybody's talking about it and just confusing about I'm like, whoa, whoa,
-
what do you guys mean You you think that this
-
means our as in everybody in this classrooms our Father?
-
Well yeah, I said, no, I mean you're leaving out
-
the most important one. The most important person is Jesus.
-
And they were just I mean, my teacher in the class,
-
you can look at this was Pete Yury. Please look
-
him up as a very famous author. He was my professor.
-
He'th jury. He was in a state of shocking. Wait,
-
wait a minute, what are you saying. I said, let's
-
tear open the Greek which were up in the Greeks.
-
Like this is Jesus talking to who Christians? He's like,
-
this is possessive. Jesus spoke possessive to those in his
-
hearing gap. The Lord's prayer, his bits off the Lord
-
Jesus Christ. Not every Tom, Dick and Harry, not Peter,
-
Paul and Mary. It's whoever's praying and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
When you say a look, when you hear me pray
-
our father, which are in heaven, I'm saying mine in
-
Jesus's father. I'm not saying mine and your father. And
-
it amazes me. Most Christians I've met does not know this.
-
They do not know it. They do not know. They
-
think for some reason, Matthew is saying this. This comes
-
from Matthew chapter six. Right, it's Matthew's the one saying
-
our father. No, No, it's not. It's Jesus is the
-
one saying our not Matthew. Yes, it's in Matthew chapter six.
-
But it's not Matthew speaking it. It's God the Son.
-
I probably said that, and I probably confused you too.
-
The Lord Jesus Christ is God the Son. I mean,
-
he's the what I said. It puts people in a
-
state of shock. They almost get to the point of
-
being offended. No, no, no, he's the son of God.
-
He's God the Son here as erected and ascended to
-
the right hand of the faller. I hate to rent
-
on your party, but if you ask a Cherubim, they'll
-
tell you the truth. They'll say, no, no, he is
-
in the midst of the throne. He is God the Son,
-
not the Son of God. He was the Son of
-
God h before his ascension. Now that he has ascended,
-
he is in the midst of the throne. He is
-
above and beyond even the mighty Cherubile. He's in the
-
midst of the throne. Now I appreciate it. If you
-
think you've got a doctorate degree in theology, and you
-
think that you can usurp the power whose seat is
-
all that throne, that's where the event horizon is, and
-
you think you can name it and claim it over
-
your children and get somewhere. I appreciate that. However, I
-
know what you are because I don't care if you
-
said that your little girl is no longer going to
-
have freckles, and from that point forward you put make
-
them over, make up over them to cover them up
-
on Sundays. You're a false prophet and may you receive
-
a false profits recompense? Do you know what recompense means?
-
Can you write that down? You know how to write
-
that down, you know how to spell it. You better
-
look it up, because he who set us upon the
-
throne in his fist is one of two things, recompense
-
or reward, and you need to know false prophets will
-
receive recompense. Please look that up. You have the power
-
to proclaiming nothing. You don't have the power to proclaim anything.
-
You only have jurisdiction to request. I'm sorry, did I
-
shock you? Let me say that again. You only have
-
the authority and jurisdiction to request. That's it now. Most
-
most pit no, all people that are in fact born
-
again God fearing, Bible believing, gospel preaching Christians knows why
-
I referenced it in that way. They know, do you
-
do you remember this diatribe from the very next chapter.
-
Does any of you remember Matthew chapter seven. I mean,
-
surely if you can prophesy and command freckles off your
-
daughter's face, surely you know what the Lord Jesus Christ
-
said about what you can and what you can't do
-
about praying right. Amazing, absolutely amazing. From that goes along.
-
I'm sorry to interrupt, but something that Jenny posted into
-
in a response to that video about when Mike, when
-
Michael fought the devil right, and he said to him,
-
the Lord rebuke.
-
You, right? And he didn't proclaim it, did he?
-
No, he said the Lord rebuke you.
-
He said, the Lord rebuke you. That's right, You're absolutely correct.
-
Now we're going to read from the very next chapter,
-
Matthew chapter seven. We'll see if anybody remembers this ask,
-
and it will be given to you. Seek and you
-
will find, knock, and it will be open to you.
-
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds,
-
and to him who knocks it will be open. Or
-
what man is there among you, if his stun asked
-
for bread, will give him a stone? Or if we't
-
ask for a fish, will he give him a serpent.
-
If you, then, being evil, let me say that again.
-
If you, then being evil, know how to give good
-
gifts to your children, how much more will your Father,
-
who is in heaven give good things to those who
-
ask him. Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you,
-
do also to thend For this is the law and
-
the profits. The only thing you're authorized to do is request.
-
You can demand nothing. Demands are only projected from the
-
throne and not directed award it. Now, these are very
-
elementary principles. As a matter of fact, these very things
-
are taught in Sunday School to school age children from
-
the very beginning. Is it not true, ladies? One of
-
the very first things that children learn in Sunday school
-
is the Lord's Prayer. No old body's going to debate
-
that one, are they? Most of you listening to know,
-
all of you listening to my voice, you don't even
-
know exactly where and when you actually learned the Lord's
-
Prayer in your mind, It's just simply always been there.
-
Do you know how I know that? Because while I
-
worked at Shepherd Community Homeless shelter, we conducted studies and
-
every so often I got to participate in making up
-
some of the questions, and this was one of the questions.
-
What grade were you when you learned the Lord's prayer?
-
Over eighty percent responded, well, now that I think about it,
-
I can't remember. It's just kind of always been there.
-
What have you been? Yeah, sometimes I have to check myself.
-
I have to remember that I'm actually talking to the
-
ecclesia and not false prophets. Do you want to know why?
-
Because there is no benefit in teaching such things to
-
false prophets. The things I just relate to you, even
-
though I related them to you in a way and
-
an emotion directed towards false prophets was because that's where
-
you had gotten this from. The name and claimant is
-
from the devil. It is not from the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
I just read to you what was from the Lord
-
Jesus Christ. Let me say that again, just to make
-
sure fire you understand what I said. The only thing
-
you're authorized to do is to present request. That's it.
-
You may name and claim any name. I don't care
-
what your name is. I don't care if your name's Mary.
-
I don't care if your name's Mary mother of Jesus.
-
I don't care I mean, surely you can hearken to
-
what Tammy said. I mean Michael himself, whom, for some reason,
-
everybody in the West seems to think that Michael's divine,
-
even though he is not. Even Michael knew better than
-
to make such proclamations. But that is true, isn't it.
-
Most Christians in the West have been deceived into believing
-
Michael's divine. Now listen to me. You need to hearken
-
to my voice. If that garbage is in your subconscious,
-
you might want to adjust those thoughts before the day
-
of he who sticked it upon the throne, because you're
-
going to get a stick out of him him on
-
that day. He is going to announce who it is
-
that is his successor and rightful air and everybody else
-
is going to eat dirt that day. So you might
-
want to rain and control of those out of control
-
thoughts that you have. You need to rethink about who, what, where, when,
-
why you are because there's only two that matter in
-
your equation. You and him. That's it. That's it, You
-
and him. Get this garbage out of your mind that
-
the Potus and the Uni States of America is important
-
because he's not you better get this through your skull.
-
There are two that are important to you, You and Him.
-
That's it. I mean, for some reason, most Christians ascribe
-
divinity through a whole lot more than God. And you
-
need to. You need to saturate yourself with God's word.
-
Do not lie. My mother, my Sunday school teachers, all
-
those daughters of saying, they all drilled into me Matthews
-
Chapter five, six and seven, literally drilled it into my psyche,
-
saturating my spirit with scripture. That's why no nobody, nobody
-
could ever convince me. Otherwise, they could never convince me.
-
And when they did, when they started saying that they
-
could grow claim divinity over illness, it didn't ring true
-
with me because I knew what I was authorized to do.
-
I knew what I could say. Jesus gought me how
-
to say it. I mean, let that process. Jesus taught
-
me how to say it. From the New King James version.
-
I'll read it again. Our Father in Heaven followed, be
-
your name, your kingdom. Come. Your will be done on
-
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day
-
our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we
-
forgive our debtors, and do not lead us into temptation,
-
but deliver us from the evil one, for yours is
-
the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
-
What other idiot told you to add to this prayer
-
is not what they claimed to be? And I didn't
-
say who for a reason. I said what they're not
-
what big thing to be. So it's amazing how these
-
three simple chapters five, six, and seven. You know, I've
-
really realizes that ancient historians believe that these chapters Jesus
-
was presenting a whole new religion. Did you know that?
-
Have you studied history?
-
Isn't it refreshing when somebody reminds you what Jesus said
-
and you put all these important people that have you know,
-
two hundred and ninety eight thousand followers right when you
-
sterilize their lies with the words of the name of
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. Now I appreciate that Darlene sent
-
me this link. You know, let me ask you something, Hey, Temmy,
-
if you sent me a link of some witch perfer
-
warming a spell, do you think I'd watch it? Yes?
-
Or no?
-
I don't think so, So.
-
Why in God's name would I listen? To somebody who's
-
contradicting what the Lord Jesus Christ said. Why would I
-
do that? See, one of the good things that Sister
-
Mackie taught me was this, Matthew, don't ever believe links,
-
only believe cross references. If you can't give it to
-
me verse in Chapter I don't believe it. Look, no
-
matter what this teacher or preacher is saying, if it contradicts,
-
if it adds to it or takes away from what
-
the Lord Jesus Christ said, when you're supposed to pray,
-
it's a lie, and it's meant to deceive you, and
-
more importantly, it's meant to get you judged. It's intended
-
for your damn nation. Do you know what happens to
-
false prophets? If you don't, by the Living God, you will.
-
You will know what happens to false prophets. So I'm
-
here to tell you to make sure I burn it
-
to your memory. Don't you ever name and claim anything
-
you can? Well, I just need to let that lie
-
right there. There's no reason to add or take away
-
from it. So a couple of things you need to
-
take away from this. You're not divine and you never was.
-
Not Ever, Michael's not divine. Most of you believe that
-
Satan used to be divine. Uh oh, if I prick
-
you will you bleed. That's right. Most of you think
-
that Gabriel is divine, Michael is divine, and Satan used
-
to be divine. And the only reason why Michael is
-
going to defeat Satan is because Michael is still divine.
-
That is miss for me, that's what that is. That's
-
blasphemy me. I don't have a problem with it. I
-
don't have a problem with it. So why haven't you
-
heard this in the Sunday sermons? Why would some preacher
-
get you convinced that not only he can name and
-
claim things, but that you have this divine power too.
-
You know what you got the divine power to do.
-
I'll tell you. Die, That's what you got the divine
-
power to do, and then be judged. That's what God
-
has said you're going to do, so you have the
-
divine right to do that in that order, die and
-
be judged. Praise God. And most of you need to
-
begin acting like that. You need to begin to feel
-
that weight upon your shoulders, because then it will check
-
what it'll check, that garbage coming out of your mouth.
-
It'll check it. It'll make you afraid. Now, of course
-
there's deliverance ministers, and these deliverance ministers have this divine power,
-
and this divine power they can teach you to use.
-
Who has bewitched you? Did that sting? I hope it did?
-
I hope it did. Oh my goodness. Turn off the
-
entertainment people. You need to turn it off. You need
-
to start fleeing from it. You need to flee from it.
-
I'm just telling you you do. You just need to
-
start fleeing from it. If they can't give you chapter
-
and verse, you need to get away from them. And
-
there's only three that's divine, and they're the same thing,
-
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
-
And they are one. They're one. So keep in mind
-
that they're the only divine that there is. Angels aren't divine,
-
Seraphim aren't divine. You have two things in existence, Only
-
two things exist, to the Creator and the created. That's it.
-
There's only two things that exist, the Creator and the created.
-
Then that's how you need to go forward, and only
-
the Creator and alter the created. You can't you never could, Satan,
-
never could. I'm gonna tell you a true statement. Michael can't.
-
Michael can't. Michael cannot change creation. He is created. You
-
know how many of you understand how difficult it is
-
to read an electrical blueprint. If you can't read that blueprint,
-
you can't possibly understand how to wire a circuit board.
-
You quite simply can't do it. This is the same
-
way with Michael. Do you actually think that Michael can
-
comprehend how our eyeball is designed? Because if you don't
-
understand how it's designed, you could not alter it to
-
repair it. In Layman's terms, Michael can not fill your
-
eye if it's injured. We don't understand the schematic. We
-
don't understand it. Do you know there's only one who
-
can understand the schematic, just the one who made it.
-
You see, there's no classes in heaven on how to
-
read the genetic makeup and blueprint, and now this is
-
the most important one, the genetic pathway that makes an
-
eyeball work. There's no classes that Michael can attend to
-
learn that. God don't have those classes available in heaven.
-
Did you know that let that sink in, Let it
-
sink in. You ain't God, Then let this sink in.
-
The only thing your authorized to do is to request.
-
That's it. Now, I'm going to give you the rest
-
of the equation. The answer to your request will ultimately
-
depend on your level of faith. Let that sink in.
-
Let it sink in. So it doesn't matter what comes
-
out of your mouth. It matters how much faith you have.
-
But you can't say that louder? Can you? Really frustrating?
-
Because there is no organ associated with faith? Wouldn't it
-
be wouldn't it be awesome if faith was associated with
-
my fist, because I have the power to put my
-
fist through a locked door. Right, so I would have
-
to do would be to do it harder? Right? Wouldn't
-
it be so easy if faith was associated with the legs?
-
If I would just if I could just run faster,
-
then God will answer my prayer. No, it's not associated
-
with the legs. Do you know why? You don't know? Why?
-
Do you? But this is true. It is true. Your
-
response to your request greatly depends upon the amount of
-
faith that you currently possess. Did you know that? Let
-
me guess this is the first time you've ever heard
-
this out of a preacher's mouth before, Right, You've never
-
heard anybody say this before, you know, I wonder if
-
anybody remembers where this is at in the Bible, because
-
it's in the Bible, that much I can tell you
-
it is. I'm not lying to you. And those closest
-
to Jesus knew it. They knew it deadly, did they
-
knew it? When I read it for you, it should
-
produce a remembrancer in you. It should if you've read
-
the Bible before. If that is, if I'm telling you
-
the truth, I'll read you the very very simple verse,
-
very short, and the apostles said to the Lord, increase
-
our faith. You know what that means, don't you? Or
-
have you forgotten the story? Have you forgotten the context?
-
Have you been too busy listening to babbling? Because the
-
apostles knew this riddle. They knew the riddle. The apostles
-
knew the riddle. I'll read it from the New King
-
James version Luke seventeen, starting in verse five, And the
-
apostles said to the Lord, increase our faith. So the
-
Lord said, if you have faith as a muststard seed,
-
you can say to this mulberry tree, be pulled up
-
butter roots and be planted in the seed, and it
-
will obey you. Take note it said, if what see
-
you can, you're concentrating on the entertainment. The entertainment is
-
the mulberry tree uprooting itself. That's the entertainment. That's not
-
the lesson. The lesson is if you have the faith
-
of a mustard seed. That's the lesson, not the entertaining part.
-
Let's try the next verse. And which of you, having
-
a servant plow attending sheep, will say to him when
-
he has come from the field, come up once and
-
sit down to eat? But will he not rather say
-
to him, prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself
-
and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and
-
afterward you will eat and drink. Does he think that
-
servant because he did things that were commanded of him?
-
I think not.
-
So.
-
Likewise, when you have done all those things which you
-
are commanded, say, we are unprofitable servants. We have done
-
what was our only our duty to do. Do you
-
understand this riddle? You don't? Do you? And the last
-
we only have five minutes left? What am I to do?
-
What am I to do? Everything is beautiful in its
-
time that much. I know this. I possess this thing.
-
I possess because God, God has named it and claimed it.
-
That everything is beautiful in its time. And I obviously
-
have spoken as directed. I've spoken as directed. I did
-
not teach you how to name anything, and I didn't
-
teach you how to claim anything, and I sure fire
-
didn't tell you or teach you to falsely prophesy. You
-
do know this. Now, this is what the Bible says
-
you may request, and your response to that request is
-
in direct proportion to your faith. So going forward from here,
-
you will need to concern yourself on how to acquire
-
more faith, not how to speak louder or some certain
-
way that you could word a prayer that God will
-
be forced to answer it. Now you're really except, aren't you,
-
because you realize that's what these people always do. They
-
give you a certain implentation, right, yes, they do. They
-
say that you have to pray in a certain way,
-
you have to say this and in this order. Yeah,
-
those are spells, Yeah they are. It's kind of like
-
saying a rosary. You know, God's not deaf and he
-
don't need you to repeat anything. Did you know that?
-
You know what's really going to blow you away? Did
-
you know that God, God knows what you need before
-
you even ask for it. By the way, that is
-
indicative of request. Right, God knows what you need before
-
you ask of it, because the only thing you're permitted
-
to do is ask. That's all you're permitted to do.
-
That's why he says that He told you that. By
-
the way, before you ask, I already know what you need.
-
So go ahead and ask it. And you only have
-
to ask me once. But your response will be in
-
direct proportion to the amount of faith that you possess.
-
I'm telling you the gospel truth. That's the gospel truth.
-
And just so you won't know, I am below the
-
poverty level, all right, anything anybody else wants to talk about,
-
because we are at the top of the hour, anybody,
-
I will do this. I will read from the chat.
-
Carol put this in Mark sixteen, a singular verse from
-
that chapter. I appreciate it. It reads as follows, these
-
signs will accompany those who have believed. Well, Carol just
-
taught us how to get more faith in My name.
-
They will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues,
-
they will pick up serpents, and if they drink deadly poison,
-
it will not hurt them. They will lay hands on
-
the sick, and they will recover. Take note, Harold was
-
wise enough to give us more integers in this equation.
-
Faith is obviously in some way shape or form, in
-
some way, shape or form proportional to belief. Here I'll
-
read it for you again. These signs will accompany those
-
who have believed in my name. Amen. Appreciate that Peril
-
helped us out with the riddle, because I was going
-
to go no further. I don't have to. Did I
-
buy the Bible that sets on your desk or table
-
or maybe on your bookshelf. I didn't buy that for you.
-
I never helped you read it. I didn't teach you
-
how to read it, so I didn't have to tell
-
you any more information. I appreciate that your sister did,
-
and she did so because she loves you. So now
-
you at least have a little bit more to this riddle.
-
So tell me what comes first, the faith or the belief.
-
We already read from verse that if you have the
-
faith of equal volume right, or let's say it another way,
-
if you possess the faith that has a mass equal
-
to the mass of a mustard seed, and if you
-
believed in his name. There's a proportional ratio to these
-
two things, belief in faith? Which one came first? Are
-
they independent of one another? Tell me if you know,
-
does anybody else have anything they want to talk about?
-
Does anybody want to yell at me?
-
Hey, Matthew, just as a sidebars for I believe. I
-
don't know if anyone else has ever done.
-
That's a question.
-
Can you hear me?
-
Yes? I can hear you, Darlene, just a minute, she's talking.
-
There's a I studied the John three sixteen. Will the
-
word for belief? Anyone a little bit more insight on that?
-
I would suggest going through that. It's very helpful.
-
Yes, I agree. So your sister Jenny added a little
-
bit more for your edification. She said, A good way
-
to get to the bottom of what belief is is
-
doing a script oriial exegesis on John three sixteen. I agree,
-
perfect place to start, Darlene, What did you want to say?
-
The question I had is, you're praying God's scripture and
-
you believe God's scripture and on the receiving and there
-
is negativity. Can they counteract. Well, sometimes you can feel it,
-
But can they counteract I don't know if they encounter
-
act your faith, But can they cause a negative thing
-
towards your prayers? Who if they're an unbelief whoever you're
-
praying for, no or even people around as you're praying.
-
No, okay, Darlene. Who's divine? God is okay? Who can
-
alter God's design? No one, only God. So the energizer
-
bunny can have no effect on what you request of God.
-
Nobody can, not even Satan because Satan's not divine. Okay, okay.
-
It just reminds me of a scripture about but he
-
already perceived that because of their unbelief, he couldn't do,
-
he couldn't work in that area because of their unbelief.
-
That is a perfect place for us to start the
-
next Bible study. Do you know? Do you know from
-
where it is you're quoting?
-
It seems like it was in one of the gospels, Matthew.
-
But no, very good, very good, darling. That means we
-
probably should do a Bible study on it, right.
-
Good idea.
-
That's a good idea. That's a good idea, darling.
-
That's a good idea. Matthew.
-
Yes, it is all right. Does anybody else have anything
-
they want to talk about? No? DJ, Does a cat
-
got your tongue or what?
-
No, sir, I'm just listening tonight.
-
I was cleaning my house, is right, I'm listening. Yeah, I.
-
Don't know it.
-
Just quiet lately, good good. I like being quiet myself.
-
I normally am because when I'm participating in somebody else's
-
Bible study, I get in all kinds of trouble. Usually
-
my wife has to discipline me for it later.
-
I always feel like a heretic because I have like
-
really bizarre questions.
-
But I don't mean to be a reverend like. I
-
just have general confusion about stuff. It's like earlier, like
-
about the got you, I get it? Okay, who's gonna
-
take us out of here tonight? In prayer? Do you
-
have any volunteers? Come on, somebody can step forward to
-
pray us out here?
-
I will, Dear Father, thank you for this time together.
-
I feel so blessed to talk about all these things
-
with you, Lord, and with Matthew teaching us. I'm grateful
-
for him and his ministry and his willingness to share
-
these things here tonight. And I thank you for my
-
brothers and sisters out there that are listening, and I
-
just want to ask you, Lord to please keep us,
-
keep us in good health. Father, these people that are
-
suffering right now with a bitter cold from that hurricane,
-
and they're living in tents in the winter. Now, Father,
-
just want to lift all those people up to you
-
to remember them. Father, Remember them and keep them Father,
-
Keep them warm, keep them fed, keep them clothed, especially
-
the little ones, the elderly, and the babies. Father, protect them.
-
Lord.
-
Wherever your people are too much, Father, just let them
-
know that they're with them and give them your peace
-
and comfort them. I also want to ask you for
-
health and healing for Sharry and her family. Fathers, there's
-
battling this COVID and infections. Please remember us Father in
-
Jesus name.
-
Amen, Amen and Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen,
-
God bless God speed. Thank you for listening to Maria
-
