  1. Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do

  2. you know it is inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,

  3. subscribe and support this podcast. So we are mere Nathal

  4. ministries and now Redemption draweth nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen,

  5. Welcome to the fellowship. It might be an interesting one.

  6. I have nothing planned, and well that's kind of the

  7. best way to fellowship. Before we got started, we were

  8. talking about some strange things that's happened. I don't think

  9. we're going to concentrate on that too much, but I

  10. guess I'm just going to open the floor or for what?

  11. What does everybody want to talk about? Is there any

  12. specific topic we should cover? Anything you want to talk

  13. about at all will do. And I probably should start

  14. by picking on Tammy, Jammy, what what have you got

  15. going on? What's what's on your plate? What have you

  16. been thinking about today?

  17. They been praying a lot for Sherry. They're really sick.

  18. There she's got COVID.

  19. COVID again, So there's a resurgence of COVID.

  20. Yeah, when not when you were saying you had a

  21. bad day Thursday and that we should expect something, that's

  22. when she found out she had it so.

  23. Really well that certainly followed suit because I well, my

  24. warning was dead bang, that's for sure. Yesterday was whopper

  25. as far as I'm concerned. But all right, yeah, we

  26. can certainly pray for Sharry, and that means everybody, because

  27. if we're having more COVID outbreaks, that's that's not good

  28. going into the wintertime. And I mean, I hate to

  29. say it, this is a repeated history, right because it's

  30. the exact same time that it happened last time. So

  31. and I'm sure everybody's kind of super charged. I mean,

  32. I don't watch TV, so I'm out of that loop,

  33. so I don't I'm sure everybody's being inodated with political crap.

  34. I mean, I'm just absolutely sure of that, and I'm

  35. sure that you probably can't believe half of it. So

  36. but having said, is there anything you want to talk about, Sammy.

  37. Well, there's been some interesting things that we've been talking

  38. about with prayers, decreeing things and stuff and how that

  39. much that seems to me a bad thing, kind of

  40. almost like name it and claim it kind of stuff.

  41. And with Jenny, it goes along with Jenny's research into

  42. the stuff going on at her church with deliverance ministries

  43. and all of that.

  44. So that was kind of interesting.

  45. Cock we had. Yeah, well what so you talked about

  46. this privately? Yes, well, why don't you share with us

  47. your your conclusions.

  48. Well, it almost seems like they're trying to manifest healing

  49. by decreeing it happened like superseding, like like we're supposed

  50. to have authority to say.

  51. What the healing is and then it'll happen like manifest

  52. it or something.

  53. Really, yeah, I mean that just seems like that's the

  54. way they're praying.

  55. Well, well, I would take umbrage with that. That's not

  56. how I see it. That's that's not what my ears heard.

  57. You know what my ears heard? What they were prophesying.

  58. Ah okay, because this isn't my first rodeo. So you

  59. used language indicative of prophesy. They were prophesying this, This

  60. had happened in the present tense. You say that they

  61. were naming and claiming it. They were taking what was

  62. coming out of their mouth and putting it in the

  63. present tense. They were not well, let's save those comments

  64. for later. Would you agree that's what they were doing?

  65. They were prophesying.

  66. Well, that makes sense the way that you say it

  67. that way, but to me it just seems the same

  68. thing as almost like a spellcrafting, like you know, and

  69. that when they do that t thing trying to make

  70. it happen.

  71. Well, yes, that's another way to put it, because that's

  72. what the craft is. Okay, let me explain something to you. Okay,

  73. So we're going to use the most popular one. Okay, okay,

  74. the most popular one is that you you produce an

  75. incantation and that produces a strong affection in someone else,

  76. right right, right, Okay, that's a profit you're prophesying if

  77. you produce an this this incantation. All cabalist knows that

  78. that's a prophecy. You're prophesying that so and so is

  79. going to be enamored with you.

  80. Right, well, that's a good thing in my opinion. I

  81. don't know if that's you know, something that Christians should

  82. be doing.

  83. Of course that's witchcraft. Yeah, okay, that's that's so so

  84. in effect, whether you know it or not, that's what

  85. it's doing. They're they're attempting to prophesy.

  86. So decreeing a thing over the church, body or a

  87. person is actually witchcraft. If you're sitting there and you're decreeing,

  88. you're you're doing this, you're kissing it.

  89. What do you say if you say, if Jesus name,

  90. do you cast something out or you heal somebody in

  91. she's name? What about that? What what are you claiming? No?

  92. Is that is that that? I mean, if they're doing

  93. it in Jesus name, then how is that spellcraft? If

  94. they're not, you know, like, it's not spellcraft. If they're

  95. they're calling on the power of Christ to help them

  96. heal the person. That's not what she said. Oh, that's

  97. absolutely not what she said. She said, these people, we're

  98. naming it and blaming it. They were saying this thing

  99. was going to happen. And that's why we're getting ready

  100. to go to the actual text and see what is

  101. actually going on, because I mean, everybody knows, I mean,

  102. this is not fictional. Everybody knows that Jesus taught us

  103. how to pray, right.

  104. Right?

  105. Yes? Okay, So with that in mind, do you remember

  106. how he directed us to pray? Yes? Really? And does

  107. it have any of the elements you just described? No?

  108. No, that's why so much what they when I heard

  109. decreeing over your authority over an illness, like you're decreem

  110. you're you're healed or whatever. It's like, you know, you're

  111. circumventing the whole repenting and putting God's in authority over us.

  112. And yes, he wants us, he said, by his by

  113. his strich.

  114. He we remind of that when we pray.

  115. That's okay. But to say.

  116. That's what's happening, it's almost the same as they're afraid

  117. to say I'm sick because they don't want to claim

  118. illness either. They think if it comes out of their

  119. they say I'm sick, that they're claiming that they have

  120. the illness.

  121. Right, they're prophesyingphesy. They're prophesying their own sickness. Yes, I'm

  122. I like I said I. Once you realize that's what

  123. they're doing. Okay, that's what they're doing. Ladies, when you're

  124. trying to name it and claim it, you're prophesying. That's

  125. what you're doing. Okay. So you would you like me.

  126. To share the link this came from. It's very short, Sure,

  127. go ahead and share very short? Man shared?

  128. And where did you share it? To?

  129. Ecclesia?

  130. Okay? All right, so I will go there. This is

  131. always so entertaining when we do this live.

  132. Okay, because I couldn't see what Tammy was saying. I

  133. don't believe in commanding God, I never have, but I

  134. can't play standing his word and speaking it in part here.

  135. I do believe in that.

  136. All right, I see the link. I'm gonna have to

  137. check it out later because that's a video, right, yeah,

  138. part one. But it's the same thing. Okay, this is

  139. the same dog.

  140. Well maybe if you're gonna listen just later, Max's time,

  141. come back and and help us, help us to see you.

  142. Sure will, I will certainly do them. Yes, you're welcome.

  143. So getting on with the point once you understand that.

  144. And that's why somebody would be scared saying that they're sick.

  145. They're saying that. It's not that they're proclaiming. They've deceived

  146. you with phraseology. They've deceived you with phraseology. What they're

  147. really meaning is they're prophesying, not proclaiming. Okay, and they're

  148. doing this so that you don't know what they're actually doing.

  149. It's tricking you. They're deceiving you. They don't want you

  150. to know because if it doesn't happen, that makes you

  151. a false prophet, and that's dead bang. The worst thing

  152. you can be is a false prophet. So they just

  153. change the terminology. That's what they're doing, to change in

  154. the terminology on it. So we're going to consult the

  155. Lord Jesus Christ. Let's consult him. I don't care what

  156. these god haters say. And that's a fact I never did.

  157. I never did care what they say. I always cared

  158. what he said. So let's run through this and let's

  159. see if we can get any of the name it

  160. and claimant elements out of his prayer, because if it

  161. don't come out of his mouth, it's a lie. And

  162. that's what really makes me mad. They say that the

  163. Lord Jesus Christ is their father their name that means

  164. the devil he is their father. Now, when you take

  165. a deep breath and inhale that and get a great, big,

  166. great big lung full of that truth, it will scalize you.

  167. It will sterilize you from their deception. So let's try this.

  168. Our father in heaven, hollow be your name, your kingdom. Come,

  169. you will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

  170. Give us this there daily bread, and forgive us our

  171. debts as we forgive our debtors and lead us not

  172. into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for yours is

  173. the Kingdom of the power and glory forever. Amen. Well

  174. it was really quick and easy, right, I read it

  175. straight from the New King James Bible. So, Tammy, where's

  176. the name it? And claimant elements in this prayer? Nowhere

  177. they do not exist. They don't exist.

  178. And that is something that is happening in the church.

  179. And it's not just with the healing stuff. It's like

  180. you're you're decreeing things over your children. You're decreeing all

  181. these things. You know that that.

  182. That's a prophecy.

  183. Now that makes sense when you're decreeing something, you're prophesying

  184. over your kids and stuff all that. Yeah, yeah, so

  185. that's that's all something that you know is popular right

  186. now in the church.

  187. It's whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa wo wha whoa who

  188. back up, honey, Yeah, you need to fear God.

  189. Yeah don't. I'm saying is that there there's a lot

  190. of people that are doing that, teaching that that's what.

  191. We're supposed to do with our kids. That's what they're teaching. Well,

  192. that's not what the Ecclesia is doing no.

  193. But I'm just letting you know that I see it

  194. out there all over the place.

  195. Well, those are not churches. I'm gonna say it to you, plain,

  196. they are not churches. Okay. By definition, the ecclesia does

  197. not do that. The Ecclesia fears God and she only

  198. prophesies when God tells her to. So you need to

  199. fear God. Looking forward, ladies and gentlemen, you need to

  200. begin to fear God, and you need to be careful

  201. what comes out of your mouth.

  202. So that makes even more false prophets out there than

  203. I was even thinking of.

  204. Yes they are their father is the devil. Yeah, they're

  205. everywhere now, Yes, and their father is the devil, and

  206. they are not the church. So you know, boy, the

  207. Lord's prayer is such a sterilizing agent against the devil's wiles.

  208. It's just too simplistic to contradict, isn't it. You know?

  209. And the most important thing. I've been saying this a

  210. lot here lately. You need to understand that what is

  211. being said here, ladies, gentlemen. The first look, when you

  212. pray the Lord's prayer, when you say our Father, you

  213. don't mean you and other Christians. That's not what you're praying.

  214. You're saying that you're personal and Jesus's personal father. That's

  215. the father you're praying to when you say that, you

  216. when you say our Father, which are in heaven, it's

  217. not every Tom, Dick and Harry's. It's yours and Jesus.

  218. It's a personal prayer because when God hears that he's

  219. your father and Jesus's father, now you're getting somewhere, Okay,

  220. most people. And it blows me away because even in

  221. I was literally living in the Christian Ministry's dormitory okay,

  222. at a Christian school. Okay, they did not know this.

  223. And it really confused me how I figured it out

  224. because I was in school, Okay, I was in class.

  225. It was New Testament literature. We get to this chapter

  226. and everybody's talking about it and just confusing about I'm like, whoa, whoa,

  227. what do you guys mean You you think that this

  228. means our as in everybody in this classrooms our Father?

  229. Well yeah, I said, no, I mean you're leaving out

  230. the most important one. The most important person is Jesus.

  231. And they were just I mean, my teacher in the class,

  232. you can look at this was Pete Yury. Please look

  233. him up as a very famous author. He was my professor.

  234. He'th jury. He was in a state of shocking. Wait,

  235. wait a minute, what are you saying. I said, let's

  236. tear open the Greek which were up in the Greeks.

  237. Like this is Jesus talking to who Christians? He's like,

  238. this is possessive. Jesus spoke possessive to those in his

  239. hearing gap. The Lord's prayer, his bits off the Lord

  240. Jesus Christ. Not every Tom, Dick and Harry, not Peter,

  241. Paul and Mary. It's whoever's praying and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  242. When you say a look, when you hear me pray

  243. our father, which are in heaven, I'm saying mine in

  244. Jesus's father. I'm not saying mine and your father. And

  245. it amazes me. Most Christians I've met does not know this.

  246. They do not know it. They do not know. They

  247. think for some reason, Matthew is saying this. This comes

  248. from Matthew chapter six. Right, it's Matthew's the one saying

  249. our father. No, No, it's not. It's Jesus is the

  250. one saying our not Matthew. Yes, it's in Matthew chapter six.

  251. But it's not Matthew speaking it. It's God the Son.

  252. I probably said that, and I probably confused you too.

  253. The Lord Jesus Christ is God the Son. I mean,

  254. he's the what I said. It puts people in a

  255. state of shock. They almost get to the point of

  256. being offended. No, no, no, he's the son of God.

  257. He's God the Son here as erected and ascended to

  258. the right hand of the faller. I hate to rent

  259. on your party, but if you ask a Cherubim, they'll

  260. tell you the truth. They'll say, no, no, he is

  261. in the midst of the throne. He is God the Son,

  262. not the Son of God. He was the Son of

  263. God h before his ascension. Now that he has ascended,

  264. he is in the midst of the throne. He is

  265. above and beyond even the mighty Cherubile. He's in the

  266. midst of the throne. Now I appreciate it. If you

  267. think you've got a doctorate degree in theology, and you

  268. think that you can usurp the power whose seat is

  269. all that throne, that's where the event horizon is, and

  270. you think you can name it and claim it over

  271. your children and get somewhere. I appreciate that. However, I

  272. know what you are because I don't care if you

  273. said that your little girl is no longer going to

  274. have freckles, and from that point forward you put make

  275. them over, make up over them to cover them up

  276. on Sundays. You're a false prophet and may you receive

  277. a false profits recompense? Do you know what recompense means?

  278. Can you write that down? You know how to write

  279. that down, you know how to spell it. You better

  280. look it up, because he who set us upon the

  281. throne in his fist is one of two things, recompense

  282. or reward, and you need to know false prophets will

  283. receive recompense. Please look that up. You have the power

  284. to proclaiming nothing. You don't have the power to proclaim anything.

  285. You only have jurisdiction to request. I'm sorry, did I

  286. shock you? Let me say that again. You only have

  287. the authority and jurisdiction to request. That's it now. Most

  288. most pit no, all people that are in fact born

  289. again God fearing, Bible believing, gospel preaching Christians knows why

  290. I referenced it in that way. They know, do you

  291. do you remember this diatribe from the very next chapter.

  292. Does any of you remember Matthew chapter seven. I mean,

  293. surely if you can prophesy and command freckles off your

  294. daughter's face, surely you know what the Lord Jesus Christ

  295. said about what you can and what you can't do

  296. about praying right. Amazing, absolutely amazing. From that goes along.

  297. I'm sorry to interrupt, but something that Jenny posted into

  298. in a response to that video about when Mike, when

  299. Michael fought the devil right, and he said to him,

  300. the Lord rebuke.

  301. You, right? And he didn't proclaim it, did he?

  302. No, he said the Lord rebuke you.

  303. He said, the Lord rebuke you. That's right, You're absolutely correct.

  304. Now we're going to read from the very next chapter,

  305. Matthew chapter seven. We'll see if anybody remembers this ask,

  306. and it will be given to you. Seek and you

  307. will find, knock, and it will be open to you.

  308. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds,

  309. and to him who knocks it will be open. Or

  310. what man is there among you, if his stun asked

  311. for bread, will give him a stone? Or if we't

  312. ask for a fish, will he give him a serpent.

  313. If you, then, being evil, let me say that again.

  314. If you, then being evil, know how to give good

  315. gifts to your children, how much more will your Father,

  316. who is in heaven give good things to those who

  317. ask him. Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you,

  318. do also to thend For this is the law and

  319. the profits. The only thing you're authorized to do is request.

  320. You can demand nothing. Demands are only projected from the

  321. throne and not directed award it. Now, these are very

  322. elementary principles. As a matter of fact, these very things

  323. are taught in Sunday School to school age children from

  324. the very beginning. Is it not true, ladies? One of

  325. the very first things that children learn in Sunday school

  326. is the Lord's Prayer. No old body's going to debate

  327. that one, are they? Most of you listening to know,

  328. all of you listening to my voice, you don't even

  329. know exactly where and when you actually learned the Lord's

  330. Prayer in your mind, It's just simply always been there.

  331. Do you know how I know that? Because while I

  332. worked at Shepherd Community Homeless shelter, we conducted studies and

  333. every so often I got to participate in making up

  334. some of the questions, and this was one of the questions.

  335. What grade were you when you learned the Lord's prayer?

  336. Over eighty percent responded, well, now that I think about it,

  337. I can't remember. It's just kind of always been there.

  338. What have you been? Yeah, sometimes I have to check myself.

  339. I have to remember that I'm actually talking to the

  340. ecclesia and not false prophets. Do you want to know why?

  341. Because there is no benefit in teaching such things to

  342. false prophets. The things I just relate to you, even

  343. though I related them to you in a way and

  344. an emotion directed towards false prophets was because that's where

  345. you had gotten this from. The name and claimant is

  346. from the devil. It is not from the Lord Jesus Christ.

  347. I just read to you what was from the Lord

  348. Jesus Christ. Let me say that again, just to make

  349. sure fire you understand what I said. The only thing

  350. you're authorized to do is to present request. That's it.

  351. You may name and claim any name. I don't care

  352. what your name is. I don't care if your name's Mary.

  353. I don't care if your name's Mary mother of Jesus.

  354. I don't care I mean, surely you can hearken to

  355. what Tammy said. I mean Michael himself, whom, for some reason,

  356. everybody in the West seems to think that Michael's divine,

  357. even though he is not. Even Michael knew better than

  358. to make such proclamations. But that is true, isn't it.

  359. Most Christians in the West have been deceived into believing

  360. Michael's divine. Now listen to me. You need to hearken

  361. to my voice. If that garbage is in your subconscious,

  362. you might want to adjust those thoughts before the day

  363. of he who sticked it upon the throne, because you're

  364. going to get a stick out of him him on

  365. that day. He is going to announce who it is

  366. that is his successor and rightful air and everybody else

  367. is going to eat dirt that day. So you might

  368. want to rain and control of those out of control

  369. thoughts that you have. You need to rethink about who, what, where, when,

  370. why you are because there's only two that matter in

  371. your equation. You and him. That's it. That's it, You

  372. and him. Get this garbage out of your mind that

  373. the Potus and the Uni States of America is important

  374. because he's not you better get this through your skull.

  375. There are two that are important to you, You and Him.

  376. That's it. I mean, for some reason, most Christians ascribe

  377. divinity through a whole lot more than God. And you

  378. need to. You need to saturate yourself with God's word.

  379. Do not lie. My mother, my Sunday school teachers, all

  380. those daughters of saying, they all drilled into me Matthews

  381. Chapter five, six and seven, literally drilled it into my psyche,

  382. saturating my spirit with scripture. That's why no nobody, nobody

  383. could ever convince me. Otherwise, they could never convince me.

  384. And when they did, when they started saying that they

  385. could grow claim divinity over illness, it didn't ring true

  386. with me because I knew what I was authorized to do.

  387. I knew what I could say. Jesus gought me how

  388. to say it. I mean, let that process. Jesus taught

  389. me how to say it. From the New King James version.

  390. I'll read it again. Our Father in Heaven followed, be

  391. your name, your kingdom. Come. Your will be done on

  392. earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day

  393. our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we

  394. forgive our debtors, and do not lead us into temptation,

  395. but deliver us from the evil one, for yours is

  396. the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

  397. What other idiot told you to add to this prayer

  398. is not what they claimed to be? And I didn't

  399. say who for a reason. I said what they're not

  400. what big thing to be. So it's amazing how these

  401. three simple chapters five, six, and seven. You know, I've

  402. really realizes that ancient historians believe that these chapters Jesus

  403. was presenting a whole new religion. Did you know that?

  404. Have you studied history?

  405. Isn't it refreshing when somebody reminds you what Jesus said

  406. and you put all these important people that have you know,

  407. two hundred and ninety eight thousand followers right when you

  408. sterilize their lies with the words of the name of

  409. the Lord Jesus Christ. Now I appreciate that Darlene sent

  410. me this link. You know, let me ask you something, Hey, Temmy,

  411. if you sent me a link of some witch perfer

  412. warming a spell, do you think I'd watch it? Yes?

  413. Or no?

  414. I don't think so, So.

  415. Why in God's name would I listen? To somebody who's

  416. contradicting what the Lord Jesus Christ said. Why would I

  417. do that? See, one of the good things that Sister

  418. Mackie taught me was this, Matthew, don't ever believe links,

  419. only believe cross references. If you can't give it to

  420. me verse in Chapter I don't believe it. Look, no

  421. matter what this teacher or preacher is saying, if it contradicts,

  422. if it adds to it or takes away from what

  423. the Lord Jesus Christ said, when you're supposed to pray,

  424. it's a lie, and it's meant to deceive you, and

  425. more importantly, it's meant to get you judged. It's intended

  426. for your damn nation. Do you know what happens to

  427. false prophets? If you don't, by the Living God, you will.

  428. You will know what happens to false prophets. So I'm

  429. here to tell you to make sure I burn it

  430. to your memory. Don't you ever name and claim anything

  431. you can? Well, I just need to let that lie

  432. right there. There's no reason to add or take away

  433. from it. So a couple of things you need to

  434. take away from this. You're not divine and you never was.

  435. Not Ever, Michael's not divine. Most of you believe that

  436. Satan used to be divine. Uh oh, if I prick

  437. you will you bleed. That's right. Most of you think

  438. that Gabriel is divine, Michael is divine, and Satan used

  439. to be divine. And the only reason why Michael is

  440. going to defeat Satan is because Michael is still divine.

  441. That is miss for me, that's what that is. That's

  442. blasphemy me. I don't have a problem with it. I

  443. don't have a problem with it. So why haven't you

  444. heard this in the Sunday sermons? Why would some preacher

  445. get you convinced that not only he can name and

  446. claim things, but that you have this divine power too.

  447. You know what you got the divine power to do.

  448. I'll tell you. Die, That's what you got the divine

  449. power to do, and then be judged. That's what God

  450. has said you're going to do, so you have the

  451. divine right to do that in that order, die and

  452. be judged. Praise God. And most of you need to

  453. begin acting like that. You need to begin to feel

  454. that weight upon your shoulders, because then it will check

  455. what it'll check, that garbage coming out of your mouth.

  456. It'll check it. It'll make you afraid. Now, of course

  457. there's deliverance ministers, and these deliverance ministers have this divine power,

  458. and this divine power they can teach you to use.

  459. Who has bewitched you? Did that sting? I hope it did?

  460. I hope it did. Oh my goodness. Turn off the

  461. entertainment people. You need to turn it off. You need

  462. to start fleeing from it. You need to flee from it.

  463. I'm just telling you you do. You just need to

  464. start fleeing from it. If they can't give you chapter

  465. and verse, you need to get away from them. And

  466. there's only three that's divine, and they're the same thing,

  467. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

  468. And they are one. They're one. So keep in mind

  469. that they're the only divine that there is. Angels aren't divine,

  470. Seraphim aren't divine. You have two things in existence, Only

  471. two things exist, to the Creator and the created. That's it.

  472. There's only two things that exist, the Creator and the created.

  473. Then that's how you need to go forward, and only

  474. the Creator and alter the created. You can't you never could, Satan,

  475. never could. I'm gonna tell you a true statement. Michael can't.

  476. Michael can't. Michael cannot change creation. He is created. You

  477. know how many of you understand how difficult it is

  478. to read an electrical blueprint. If you can't read that blueprint,

  479. you can't possibly understand how to wire a circuit board.

  480. You quite simply can't do it. This is the same

  481. way with Michael. Do you actually think that Michael can

  482. comprehend how our eyeball is designed? Because if you don't

  483. understand how it's designed, you could not alter it to

  484. repair it. In Layman's terms, Michael can not fill your

  485. eye if it's injured. We don't understand the schematic. We

  486. don't understand it. Do you know there's only one who

  487. can understand the schematic, just the one who made it.

  488. You see, there's no classes in heaven on how to

  489. read the genetic makeup and blueprint, and now this is

  490. the most important one, the genetic pathway that makes an

  491. eyeball work. There's no classes that Michael can attend to

  492. learn that. God don't have those classes available in heaven.

  493. Did you know that let that sink in, Let it

  494. sink in. You ain't God, Then let this sink in.

  495. The only thing your authorized to do is to request.

  496. That's it. Now, I'm going to give you the rest

  497. of the equation. The answer to your request will ultimately

  498. depend on your level of faith. Let that sink in.

  499. Let it sink in. So it doesn't matter what comes

  500. out of your mouth. It matters how much faith you have.

  501. But you can't say that louder? Can you? Really frustrating?

  502. Because there is no organ associated with faith? Wouldn't it

  503. be wouldn't it be awesome if faith was associated with

  504. my fist, because I have the power to put my

  505. fist through a locked door. Right, so I would have

  506. to do would be to do it harder? Right? Wouldn't

  507. it be so easy if faith was associated with the legs?

  508. If I would just if I could just run faster,

  509. then God will answer my prayer. No, it's not associated

  510. with the legs. Do you know why? You don't know? Why?

  511. Do you? But this is true. It is true. Your

  512. response to your request greatly depends upon the amount of

  513. faith that you currently possess. Did you know that? Let

  514. me guess this is the first time you've ever heard

  515. this out of a preacher's mouth before, Right, You've never

  516. heard anybody say this before, you know, I wonder if

  517. anybody remembers where this is at in the Bible, because

  518. it's in the Bible, that much I can tell you

  519. it is. I'm not lying to you. And those closest

  520. to Jesus knew it. They knew it deadly, did they

  521. knew it? When I read it for you, it should

  522. produce a remembrancer in you. It should if you've read

  523. the Bible before. If that is, if I'm telling you

  524. the truth, I'll read you the very very simple verse,

  525. very short, and the apostles said to the Lord, increase

  526. our faith. You know what that means, don't you? Or

  527. have you forgotten the story? Have you forgotten the context?

  528. Have you been too busy listening to babbling? Because the

  529. apostles knew this riddle. They knew the riddle. The apostles

  530. knew the riddle. I'll read it from the New King

  531. James version Luke seventeen, starting in verse five, And the

  532. apostles said to the Lord, increase our faith. So the

  533. Lord said, if you have faith as a muststard seed,

  534. you can say to this mulberry tree, be pulled up

  535. butter roots and be planted in the seed, and it

  536. will obey you. Take note it said, if what see

  537. you can, you're concentrating on the entertainment. The entertainment is

  538. the mulberry tree uprooting itself. That's the entertainment. That's not

  539. the lesson. The lesson is if you have the faith

  540. of a mustard seed. That's the lesson, not the entertaining part.

  541. Let's try the next verse. And which of you, having

  542. a servant plow attending sheep, will say to him when

  543. he has come from the field, come up once and

  544. sit down to eat? But will he not rather say

  545. to him, prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself

  546. and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and

  547. afterward you will eat and drink. Does he think that

  548. servant because he did things that were commanded of him?

  549. I think not.

  550. So.

  551. Likewise, when you have done all those things which you

  552. are commanded, say, we are unprofitable servants. We have done

  553. what was our only our duty to do. Do you

  554. understand this riddle? You don't? Do you? And the last

  555. we only have five minutes left? What am I to do?

  556. What am I to do? Everything is beautiful in its

  557. time that much. I know this. I possess this thing.

  558. I possess because God, God has named it and claimed it.

  559. That everything is beautiful in its time. And I obviously

  560. have spoken as directed. I've spoken as directed. I did

  561. not teach you how to name anything, and I didn't

  562. teach you how to claim anything, and I sure fire

  563. didn't tell you or teach you to falsely prophesy. You

  564. do know this. Now, this is what the Bible says

  565. you may request, and your response to that request is

  566. in direct proportion to your faith. So going forward from here,

  567. you will need to concern yourself on how to acquire

  568. more faith, not how to speak louder or some certain

  569. way that you could word a prayer that God will

  570. be forced to answer it. Now you're really except, aren't you,

  571. because you realize that's what these people always do. They

  572. give you a certain implentation, right, yes, they do. They

  573. say that you have to pray in a certain way,

  574. you have to say this and in this order. Yeah,

  575. those are spells, Yeah they are. It's kind of like

  576. saying a rosary. You know, God's not deaf and he

  577. don't need you to repeat anything. Did you know that?

  578. You know what's really going to blow you away? Did

  579. you know that God, God knows what you need before

  580. you even ask for it. By the way, that is

  581. indicative of request. Right, God knows what you need before

  582. you ask of it, because the only thing you're permitted

  583. to do is ask. That's all you're permitted to do.

  584. That's why he says that He told you that. By

  585. the way, before you ask, I already know what you need.

  586. So go ahead and ask it. And you only have

  587. to ask me once. But your response will be in

  588. direct proportion to the amount of faith that you possess.

  589. I'm telling you the gospel truth. That's the gospel truth.

  590. And just so you won't know, I am below the

  591. poverty level, all right, anything anybody else wants to talk about,

  592. because we are at the top of the hour, anybody,

  593. I will do this. I will read from the chat.

  594. Carol put this in Mark sixteen, a singular verse from

  595. that chapter. I appreciate it. It reads as follows, these

  596. signs will accompany those who have believed. Well, Carol just

  597. taught us how to get more faith in My name.

  598. They will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues,

  599. they will pick up serpents, and if they drink deadly poison,

  600. it will not hurt them. They will lay hands on

  601. the sick, and they will recover. Take note, Harold was

  602. wise enough to give us more integers in this equation.

  603. Faith is obviously in some way shape or form, in

  604. some way, shape or form proportional to belief. Here I'll

  605. read it for you again. These signs will accompany those

  606. who have believed in my name. Amen. Appreciate that Peril

  607. helped us out with the riddle, because I was going

  608. to go no further. I don't have to. Did I

  609. buy the Bible that sets on your desk or table

  610. or maybe on your bookshelf. I didn't buy that for you.

  611. I never helped you read it. I didn't teach you

  612. how to read it, so I didn't have to tell

  613. you any more information. I appreciate that your sister did,

  614. and she did so because she loves you. So now

  615. you at least have a little bit more to this riddle.

  616. So tell me what comes first, the faith or the belief.

  617. We already read from verse that if you have the

  618. faith of equal volume right, or let's say it another way,

  619. if you possess the faith that has a mass equal

  620. to the mass of a mustard seed, and if you

  621. believed in his name. There's a proportional ratio to these

  622. two things, belief in faith? Which one came first? Are

  623. they independent of one another? Tell me if you know,

  624. does anybody else have anything they want to talk about?

  625. Does anybody want to yell at me?

  626. Hey, Matthew, just as a sidebars for I believe. I

  627. don't know if anyone else has ever done.

  628. That's a question.

  629. Can you hear me?

  630. Yes? I can hear you, Darlene, just a minute, she's talking.

  631. There's a I studied the John three sixteen. Will the

  632. word for belief? Anyone a little bit more insight on that?

  633. I would suggest going through that. It's very helpful.

  634. Yes, I agree. So your sister Jenny added a little

  635. bit more for your edification. She said, A good way

  636. to get to the bottom of what belief is is

  637. doing a script oriial exegesis on John three sixteen. I agree,

  638. perfect place to start, Darlene, What did you want to say?

  639. The question I had is, you're praying God's scripture and

  640. you believe God's scripture and on the receiving and there

  641. is negativity. Can they counteract. Well, sometimes you can feel it,

  642. But can they counteract I don't know if they encounter

  643. act your faith, But can they cause a negative thing

  644. towards your prayers? Who if they're an unbelief whoever you're

  645. praying for, no or even people around as you're praying.

  646. No, okay, Darlene. Who's divine? God is okay? Who can

  647. alter God's design? No one, only God. So the energizer

  648. bunny can have no effect on what you request of God.

  649. Nobody can, not even Satan because Satan's not divine. Okay, okay.

  650. It just reminds me of a scripture about but he

  651. already perceived that because of their unbelief, he couldn't do,

  652. he couldn't work in that area because of their unbelief.

  653. That is a perfect place for us to start the

  654. next Bible study. Do you know? Do you know from

  655. where it is you're quoting?

  656. It seems like it was in one of the gospels, Matthew.

  657. But no, very good, very good, darling. That means we

  658. probably should do a Bible study on it, right.

  659. Good idea.

  660. That's a good idea. That's a good idea, darling.

  661. That's a good idea. Matthew.

  662. Yes, it is all right. Does anybody else have anything

  663. they want to talk about? No? DJ, Does a cat

  664. got your tongue or what?

  665. No, sir, I'm just listening tonight.

  666. I was cleaning my house, is right, I'm listening. Yeah, I.

  667. Don't know it.

  668. Just quiet lately, good good. I like being quiet myself.

  669. I normally am because when I'm participating in somebody else's

  670. Bible study, I get in all kinds of trouble. Usually

  671. my wife has to discipline me for it later.

  672. I always feel like a heretic because I have like

  673. really bizarre questions.

  674. But I don't mean to be a reverend like. I

  675. just have general confusion about stuff. It's like earlier, like

  676. about the got you, I get it? Okay, who's gonna

  677. take us out of here tonight? In prayer? Do you

  678. have any volunteers? Come on, somebody can step forward to

  679. pray us out here?

  680. I will, Dear Father, thank you for this time together.

  681. I feel so blessed to talk about all these things

  682. with you, Lord, and with Matthew teaching us. I'm grateful

  683. for him and his ministry and his willingness to share

  684. these things here tonight. And I thank you for my

  685. brothers and sisters out there that are listening, and I

  686. just want to ask you, Lord to please keep us,

  687. keep us in good health. Father, these people that are

  688. suffering right now with a bitter cold from that hurricane,

  689. and they're living in tents in the winter. Now, Father,

  690. just want to lift all those people up to you

  691. to remember them. Father, Remember them and keep them Father,

  692. Keep them warm, keep them fed, keep them clothed, especially

  693. the little ones, the elderly, and the babies. Father, protect them.

  694. Lord.

  695. Wherever your people are too much, Father, just let them

  696. know that they're with them and give them your peace

  697. and comfort them. I also want to ask you for

  698. health and healing for Sharry and her family. Fathers, there's

  699. battling this COVID and infections. Please remember us Father in

  700. Jesus name.

  701. Amen, Amen and Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen,
