1
00:01:12,916 --> 00:01:16,016
And welcome back this week,

2
00:01:16,016 --> 00:01:17,633
uh, coming in.

3
00:01:18,016 --> 00:01:23,366
We're recording this on August the 10th,

4
00:01:23,366 --> 00:01:26,750
2026, and we're going to be diving into the book of Genesis

5
00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:28,183
chapter 2 tonight.

6
00:01:28,250 --> 00:01:28,666
Good.

7
00:01:28,733 --> 00:01:30,900
This, just moving right along.

8
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:32,216
I don't know what to do about that.

9
00:01:32,916 --> 00:01:36,833
And, uh, man, I'm not over the service yesterday.

10
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:37,799
Me either.

11
00:01:40,266 --> 00:01:43,133
I've been just about to jump out of my skin all day.

12
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,333
Goodness, that was good.

13
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,116
It was good.

14
00:01:45,233 --> 00:01:46,616
How's y'all's week going?

15
00:01:46,683 --> 00:01:47,700
Going great, man.

16
00:01:47,750 --> 00:01:48,883
Nine, two.

17
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:52,016
I tell you, I'm rejoicing in it and looking forward

18
00:01:52,016 --> 00:01:55,383
to if he tarries until next Sunday,

19
00:01:55,383 --> 00:01:56,766
bring it on, Lord, bring it on.

20
00:01:56,883 --> 00:02:00,666
Man, we're going to get to baptize 6 this Sunday.

21
00:02:00,716 --> 00:02:02,583
Oh, man, I got to miss it.

22
00:02:02,633 --> 00:02:03,166
Yeah.

23
00:02:04,516 --> 00:02:05,700
Yeah, it was a friend of mine.

24
00:02:06,366 --> 00:02:08,516
that I used to pastor with up in Trenton.

25
00:02:08,583 --> 00:02:11,633
He's a pastor at Rising Fawn Methodist and he

26
00:02:11,633 --> 00:02:14,449
just had some surgery and he's going to be out for about 4 weeks.

27
00:02:14,583 --> 00:02:17,166
So I'm filming in for him a couple of weeks.

28
00:02:17,216 --> 00:02:18,716
Sunday's one of the days.

29
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:19,983
I hate to miss the baptism, man.

30
00:02:20,033 --> 00:02:20,449
hate that.

31
00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:23,266
But man, yesterday was awesome.

32
00:02:23,333 --> 00:02:24,599
There was this one point.

33
00:02:24,650 --> 00:02:25,433
yesterday.

34
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:29,150
I got to share this with you guys, especially you, brother Brian, that you

35
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:32,150
know, I'm sitting there and I don't remember what's happening at the time,

36
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:35,216
but look over and little Middle Blake's just laying

37
00:02:35,216 --> 00:02:38,816
on your shoulder, you know, just got her arms just right around you.

38
00:02:39,266 --> 00:02:42,349
And I started praying at one and

39
00:02:42,349 --> 00:02:45,583
I had my hands and air and I could feel I

40
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:47,766
could feel myself with my arms around my father.

41
00:02:48,483 --> 00:02:51,066
Just like Middle Blake was with you.

42
00:02:51,116 --> 00:02:54,533
And it just, there comes the flood, you

43
00:02:54,533 --> 00:02:56,216
know, comes the flood.

44
00:02:56,216 --> 00:02:58,083
And that's what he wants from us.

45
00:02:58,133 --> 00:03:00,233
That's what he wants from us.

46
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:01,916
I don't do it near enough.

47
00:03:02,099 --> 00:03:05,166
Just a big old daddy hug, you know?

48
00:03:05,216 --> 00:03:05,816
Yeah.

49
00:03:06,616 --> 00:03:07,133
Yeah.

50
00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:08,166
That's just good.

51
00:03:08,216 --> 00:03:09,416
good stuff.

52
00:03:10,916 --> 00:03:13,983
Nicole said that I missed it.

53
00:03:14,033 --> 00:03:16,666
I don't know how I missed it, but I missed it at some point.

54
00:03:17,449 --> 00:03:20,633
Nicole said we were singing and I

55
00:03:20,633 --> 00:03:21,766
don't know what song it was.

56
00:03:21,833 --> 00:03:22,733
I don't know when it was.

57
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,849
I'll have to ask her, but she looked

58
00:03:25,849 --> 00:03:27,883
and Miller tattered a little hand up.

59
00:03:27,949 --> 00:03:28,966
Yeah, you know.

60
00:03:31,466 --> 00:03:32,583
That's awesome.

61
00:03:32,633 --> 00:03:33,166
Good stuff.

62
00:03:33,233 --> 00:03:36,349
Hey, kids learn that and they learn it young and that is awesome.

63
00:03:36,416 --> 00:03:37,983
Yeah, I mean, you know, even if

64
00:03:38,033 --> 00:03:42,000
they don't know what they're doing right now,

65
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,966
I mean, they know, okay, it brings up questions.

66
00:03:46,016 --> 00:03:48,650
Why do we, why do we raise our hand, you know?

67
00:03:48,716 --> 00:03:50,883
And you get to explain what worship is.

68
00:03:50,933 --> 00:03:54,533
You get to explain what going before the throne is.

69
00:03:56,516 --> 00:04:00,233
Man, I just, like I said, I

70
00:04:00,233 --> 00:04:02,333
was just in awe of him.

71
00:04:03,466 --> 00:04:05,516
I mean, all of you.

72
00:04:05,916 --> 00:04:07,849
I'm in all of you.

73
00:04:07,916 --> 00:04:09,000
Oh, man.

74
00:04:09,050 --> 00:04:12,050
Yeah, you know, some people have a tendency to

75
00:04:12,050 --> 00:04:14,333
get a little nervous in services like that.

76
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,416
Like they don't they don't know what to do and they don't know how to how to be there.

77
00:04:18,483 --> 00:04:21,649
They're like, well, I just don't know if God's really, you know, if that's

78
00:04:21,649 --> 00:04:24,350
if or if it's just made up or if it's just people getting in there.

79
00:04:24,416 --> 00:04:27,649
Let me tell you something that happened yesterday, right

80
00:04:27,649 --> 00:04:30,649
at the end there, when Jackson started

81
00:04:30,649 --> 00:04:31,966
singing, God is so good.

82
00:04:32,033 --> 00:04:33,766
There's a reason I had those words queued up.

83
00:04:33,833 --> 00:04:34,433
Yeah.

84
00:04:35,266 --> 00:04:37,983
Because if he hadn't started, I was about to.

85
00:04:38,033 --> 00:04:41,100
And I saw his hand trying to get your attention and I thought,

86
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:44,699
well, I'm going to wait and see what, and he started, I was like, oh, okay, here it is, Lord.

87
00:04:44,816 --> 00:04:48,533
I mean, I was like, you got to be kidding me.

88
00:04:48,966 --> 00:04:49,916
We did same thing.

89
00:04:49,983 --> 00:04:53,216
I was sitting there thinking, man, I want to sing nobody.

90
00:04:53,283 --> 00:04:56,333
I want to sing nobody and I was about to say something to Tatum and then Brian

91
00:04:56,333 --> 00:04:57,949
said, I don't sing nobody.

92
00:04:59,916 --> 00:05:02,333
And then Miss Jane Greg?

93
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:05,399
I mean, Jane Knott said, hey,

94
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:08,633
I'm glad you sang nobody because I

95
00:05:08,633 --> 00:05:09,649
was fixing to request it.

96
00:05:09,716 --> 00:05:10,433
You know?

97
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:13,550
So, I mean, that's that one mind,

98
00:05:13,550 --> 00:05:14,933
one accord stuff, you know?

99
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
And I looked, you know, I got to,

100
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,783
you get to see a lot that everybody else doesn't get to see when I,

101
00:05:21,783 --> 00:05:25,983
when I, when I went up there and stood up there and God was just like, okay,

102
00:05:25,983 --> 00:05:29,149
you know, sometimes as a pastor, you're just like, okay,

103
00:05:29,149 --> 00:05:31,550
I know you're wanting to do something and I know it ain't with me.

104
00:05:31,616 --> 00:05:34,916
You know, I mean, it wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't for me to preach

105
00:05:34,916 --> 00:05:36,416
and, and I knew that.

106
00:05:36,483 --> 00:05:39,483
Um, But, but I

107
00:05:39,483 --> 00:05:42,550
got to stand up there and I was looking back

108
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:46,066
at everyone, uh, as people were testifying

109
00:05:46,083 --> 00:05:49,616
across the church and, uh, you know, uh,

110
00:05:49,616 --> 00:05:52,616
just and singing or whatever they may have,

111
00:05:52,616 --> 00:05:54,116
uh, the Lord had put on their hearts.

112
00:05:54,183 --> 00:05:57,416
But, um, I was looking back and man,

113
00:05:57,416 --> 00:06:00,183
I mean, we had a bunch of visitors yesterday.

114
00:06:00,233 --> 00:06:03,233
You know, I was watching people just sit there and sob

115
00:06:03,233 --> 00:06:06,949
who, you know, I mean, the

116
00:06:06,949 --> 00:06:10,016
1st time, some of them, 1st time they may have ever been in our church,

117
00:06:10,016 --> 00:06:13,083
sometime, some of them had visited a few times before, but,

118
00:06:13,083 --> 00:06:16,250
uh, you know, when the spirit's moving like

119
00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:18,166
that, good gracious, you keep denied.

120
00:06:18,233 --> 00:06:19,800
No, you can deny it.

121
00:06:19,850 --> 00:06:22,066
No, you just, it's just so real.

122
00:06:22,133 --> 00:06:22,733
So real.

123
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,000
Yeah, it was.

124
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:25,966
It was it was an awesome, awesome service.

125
00:06:26,033 --> 00:06:29,399
And I am so grateful when we get to do stuff when we get services like

126
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:32,699
that and God sends something like that for us because like

127
00:06:32,699 --> 00:06:34,800
you say, it's that one mind, one accord.

128
00:06:34,850 --> 00:06:38,033
It brings everybody together and reminds us that we are all

129
00:06:38,033 --> 00:06:41,216
supposed to be worshiping together in spirit and

130
00:06:41,216 --> 00:06:44,516
truth, and that's worshiping in spirit right there when you just, you let go.

131
00:06:44,516 --> 00:06:48,649
God guides it, and there has to be order.

132
00:06:48,716 --> 00:06:49,733
I always say that.

133
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,516
There has to be order.

134
00:06:50,583 --> 00:06:53,949
But it doesn't stop things like that from happening when you do it right.

135
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,500
It's a preview of a revelation, right?

136
00:06:55,550 --> 00:06:56,566
Yes, it is.

137
00:06:56,699 --> 00:06:59,100
1000000s around the throne just break out the same song, same time.

138
00:06:59,149 --> 00:07:00,233
Yes, absolutely.

139
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:01,116
absolutely.

140
00:07:01,716 --> 00:07:04,850
Know all the words, just not eating up on the screen or anything.

141
00:07:04,916 --> 00:07:06,949
holding a book in their hand, they're just singing.

142
00:07:07,016 --> 00:07:07,550
Boom.

143
00:07:07,616 --> 00:07:08,100
Yeah.

144
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:10,616
Makes me look forward to it.

145
00:07:10,683 --> 00:07:11,466
It does.

146
00:07:11,516 --> 00:07:15,533
It actually gives us a little glimpse of, you know, just a little glimpse of what heaven's going to be like.

147
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,916
But I just, everybody

148
00:07:19,916 --> 00:07:22,016
needed that and I needed that.

149
00:07:22,083 --> 00:07:25,433
And it's, we've been having some good ones the last,

150
00:07:25,433 --> 00:07:28,500
you know, especially the last month or so and it just seems like

151
00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:30,600
it's been building up, building up, building up.

152
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,600
And, um, You

153
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,649
know, I've talked to a lot of pastors in the last

154
00:07:36,649 --> 00:07:39,649
in the last month that are experiencing some of the

155
00:07:39,649 --> 00:07:42,883
same things, you know, God's just moving in their churches.

156
00:07:42,899 --> 00:07:45,966
And I think every church went through some hurt

157
00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:49,133
and some, uh, some difficulty

158
00:07:49,133 --> 00:07:52,733
after, uh, after COVID, uh, you know, and

159
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,399
different things happening in different churches and Satan

160
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:59,333
just really trying to just beat the church down.

161
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:01,500
And, uh, but but I see it.

162
00:08:01,550 --> 00:08:03,883
I see it rising from the ashes.

163
00:08:03,949 --> 00:08:04,783
So, yeah.

164
00:08:04,850 --> 00:08:06,716
The gates of hell shall not rev.

165
00:08:06,833 --> 00:08:08,033
They shall not prevail.

166
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:08,466
Amen.

167
00:08:08,516 --> 00:08:12,483
And he was talking about his church, and his church was built upon, right?

168
00:08:12,533 --> 00:08:14,333
The rock, which is Jesus.

169
00:08:14,583 --> 00:08:14,766
en.

170
00:08:14,816 --> 00:08:15,716
Amen.

171
00:08:15,783 --> 00:08:17,050
Amen, Peter.

172
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:17,583
No.

173
00:08:17,583 --> 00:08:17,949
No.

174
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,316
It's not Peter.

175
00:08:19,383 --> 00:08:20,283
He was...

176
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:23,449
He was little stone, but we're talking about

177
00:08:23,449 --> 00:08:25,616
the big rock, the rock of Gibraltar.

178
00:08:25,683 --> 00:08:25,983
Amen.

179
00:08:27,516 --> 00:08:30,233
Hey, the cornerstone of the world right there.

180
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:33,783
I mean, without it, none of this, none of this holds together.

181
00:08:33,833 --> 00:08:39,116
Oh, before we dive in, I did want to point out,

182
00:08:39,116 --> 00:08:42,233
this weekend, I had a little bit of a back and forth.

183
00:08:42,299 --> 00:08:45,966
Well, actually, it's still going on on threads with a lady.

184
00:08:47,166 --> 00:08:50,633
Somebody had made a post in favor of why we

185
00:08:50,633 --> 00:08:51,766
should just be fine with abortion.

186
00:08:51,833 --> 00:08:55,549
We shouldn't have any problems with it because, you know, all these kids that needs

187
00:08:55,549 --> 00:08:59,033
needs to have it because of how awful it is, what they went through and all that.

188
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:02,216
And somebody had responded to that person and said, you're talking about like

189
00:09:02,216 --> 00:09:05,816
one in every 100,000 abortions that occur.

190
00:09:05,883 --> 00:09:09,783
This is a very small minority, and he's, and that was all the guy said.

191
00:09:10,316 --> 00:09:12,899
And this person came and going, oh, so we should just let this happen.

192
00:09:12,950 --> 00:09:14,216
Let that happen and just do nothing.

193
00:09:14,283 --> 00:09:15,183
And I'm like, hold on.

194
00:09:15,233 --> 00:09:18,299
He's saying you can't set the rules for

195
00:09:18,299 --> 00:09:21,716
something that maybe we can argue about should,

196
00:09:21,716 --> 00:09:23,333
whether it should be an exception or not,

197
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:26,816
The rule is for the 80% of cases where there's no need,

198
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:29,149
there's nothing going on that you're saying is a need.

199
00:09:29,216 --> 00:09:32,399
It's just somebody changed their mind after they got pregnant

200
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:33,783
and that doesn't work.

201
00:09:33,833 --> 00:09:36,950
And it started this whole back and forth, and I just just

202
00:09:36,950 --> 00:09:41,083
very, very gently guided this person into a corner with

203
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:44,583
the fact that it turns out these people cannot remain consistent

204
00:09:44,583 --> 00:09:45,716
even in their own arguments.

205
00:09:45,833 --> 00:09:48,833
And I finally, I just said to her,

206
00:09:48,833 --> 00:09:52,799
because she said, well, okay, so you'd support all men, just being forced to have vasectomies then.

207
00:09:52,850 --> 00:09:53,566
I went, yeah, sure.

208
00:09:54,516 --> 00:09:57,533
Well, of course, nobody knows what to do when you agree with them on a

209
00:09:57,533 --> 00:10:00,233
statement that's that obviously dumb.

210
00:10:01,466 --> 00:10:03,600
Because, how do you, wait, what?

211
00:10:03,649 --> 00:10:05,033
Yeah, no, no, you know what?

212
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:05,583
Let's do that.

213
00:10:05,633 --> 00:10:08,633
Let's allow abortions in every case where

214
00:10:08,633 --> 00:10:09,766
it is.

215
00:10:09,833 --> 00:10:13,016
Rape, incest, life of the mother, underage.

216
00:10:13,083 --> 00:10:15,549
Any of that stuff and all men are forced to have a board.

217
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,133
The only time you can get pregnant is you got to go down and sign a paper for him to have that vasectomy

218
00:10:19,133 --> 00:10:22,200
undone, and you got to really want it and work for it and wait for him

219
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,116
to heal up after having it reversed and all that.

220
00:10:24,716 --> 00:10:27,649
What restrictions would you support in that case?

221
00:10:27,716 --> 00:10:30,716
And her response to it at that point was, oh,

222
00:10:30,716 --> 00:10:32,149
you just want women and girls to die then.

223
00:10:32,216 --> 00:10:35,583
And I'm like, I said, ma'am, thank you for proving

224
00:10:35,583 --> 00:10:38,883
to everyone that just read this back and forth, you

225
00:10:38,883 --> 00:10:41,883
don't care about having a conversation, you're making

226
00:10:41,883 --> 00:10:45,416
up reasons to justify murdering

227
00:10:45,416 --> 00:10:46,799
innocent children.

228
00:10:46,916 --> 00:10:48,783
And that's exactly what it is.

229
00:10:48,833 --> 00:10:49,966
And that's all it is.

230
00:10:50,033 --> 00:10:53,866
And I mean, and and the last one, she just keeps going back to that.

231
00:10:53,933 --> 00:10:55,549
Well, well, you're just wanting this to happen to that.

232
00:10:55,616 --> 00:10:57,299
I'm like, I'm not wanting any of these things to happen.

233
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:59,983
In fact, here's a radical solution for you.

234
00:11:00,049 --> 00:11:02,083
If you don't want to be pregnant, don't have sex.

235
00:11:02,333 --> 00:11:04,066
It's amazing.

236
00:11:04,133 --> 00:11:05,216
But she informed me.

237
00:11:05,283 --> 00:11:07,750
I'm going to tell you, she she educated me on something, boys.

238
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:08,466
I did not know this.

239
00:11:08,516 --> 00:11:11,033
Apparently, there's a pregnancy ferry running around.

240
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:15,483
and just out of the just totally out of the blue.

241
00:11:15,533 --> 00:11:17,149
You just wake up one morning and you're pregnant.

242
00:11:17,216 --> 00:11:18,483
You hadn't done nothing to deserve it.

243
00:11:18,533 --> 00:11:19,966
You hadn't been messing around.

244
00:11:20,033 --> 00:11:22,966
It just, women just, wake up.

245
00:11:23,033 --> 00:11:23,266
Yeah.

246
00:11:23,333 --> 00:11:24,416
Yeah, it's just that.

247
00:11:26,766 --> 00:11:29,816
Well, and I told somebody today, I said, man, I think I need

248
00:11:29,816 --> 00:11:33,116
to get me some pregnancy fairy repellent because,

249
00:11:33,116 --> 00:11:35,100
you know, my girl's going to be a teenager here pretty soon.

250
00:11:35,149 --> 00:11:38,266
I need to spray that around my house if it can just drop out of the clear blue sky.

251
00:11:38,516 --> 00:11:41,633
Guys, there's not a, there's not a case for abortion.

252
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:42,716
Not at all.

253
00:11:42,783 --> 00:11:43,616
There's not a case.

254
00:11:43,683 --> 00:11:46,683
I mean, in every case that the, the,

255
00:11:46,683 --> 00:11:49,799
the, the fetus or the, the child that is

256
00:11:49,799 --> 00:11:52,983
in there is, is, um, is,

257
00:11:52,983 --> 00:11:56,866
could affect the mother, if that child could affect the mother,

258
00:11:56,866 --> 00:12:00,299
it's always safer to do a C-section

259
00:12:00,299 --> 00:12:02,583
before it than it is in abortion.

260
00:12:02,633 --> 00:12:05,816
You're either dealing with a C-section or you're

261
00:12:05,816 --> 00:12:09,299
dealing with a miscarriage where what you're doing is removing a corpse.

262
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:10,433
It's not an abortion there.

263
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:11,100
Exactly.

264
00:12:11,149 --> 00:12:15,716
I mean, now, I will I will gladly stand

265
00:12:15,716 --> 00:12:19,250
up if some state passes a dumb law where

266
00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:22,433
they don't clarify that if the

267
00:12:22,433 --> 00:12:26,450
baby is dead, that it's not an abortion, and they ban it.

268
00:12:26,516 --> 00:12:27,049
Right.

269
00:12:27,116 --> 00:12:27,483
It not.

270
00:12:27,533 --> 00:12:30,950
But I understand if they word the laws and they target the procedure

271
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:34,549
because it's the DNC is the same if you're doing a ectopic

272
00:12:34,549 --> 00:12:36,283
pregnancy removal versus an abortion.

273
00:12:36,350 --> 00:12:38,266
It's the same DNC procedure.

274
00:12:39,166 --> 00:12:42,716
Okay, you don't outlaw the procedure, you outlaw the circumstance.

275
00:12:42,783 --> 00:12:44,883
If the baby's alive, you can't do it.

276
00:12:44,933 --> 00:12:47,933
And and to me, it's just amazing that these

277
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:50,933
people want to use those kind of cases where they'll be like, well, what

278
00:12:50,933 --> 00:12:52,316
about what about a miscarriage?

279
00:12:52,383 --> 00:12:53,700
Well, okay, it's not an abortion.

280
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:54,883
What are we talking about?

281
00:12:54,950 --> 00:12:58,850
And I will say there are a

282
00:12:58,850 --> 00:13:02,383
couple of states that have the way they worded their laws.

283
00:13:02,450 --> 00:13:03,883
It was real unclear what they intended.

284
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:07,066
Almost all of them went back within a month or 2 and went, oh,

285
00:13:07,083 --> 00:13:08,399
sorry, we didn't make it real clear.

286
00:13:08,450 --> 00:13:10,666
We're talking about a live fetus.

287
00:13:10,733 --> 00:13:14,100
And they clarify that the, the, it has to be alive

288
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,383
and they use that word so people won't argue with them.

289
00:13:16,433 --> 00:13:19,500
And it's like, okay, they clarified now what?

290
00:13:19,549 --> 00:13:20,750
Well, well it's still not good enough.

291
00:13:20,816 --> 00:13:24,183
And I'm like, well, here's your care is not for doing what's

292
00:13:24,183 --> 00:13:27,483
best for everybody because the best thing for everybody is if

293
00:13:27,483 --> 00:13:30,649
you are, if you are out there just sleeping around,

294
00:13:30,649 --> 00:13:33,716
you know what causes pregnancy, you know

295
00:13:33,716 --> 00:13:36,783
how it happens, you can't say that you didn't and

296
00:13:36,783 --> 00:13:38,350
you didn't know it was going to happen.

297
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:39,666
Either either.

298
00:13:39,716 --> 00:13:43,433
You weren't being careful, or even if you were, you know that all the contraceptives can fail.

299
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:45,183
And you can still get pregnant.

300
00:13:45,233 --> 00:13:48,649
Don't be doing the things that lead to pregnancy and it's not a problem.

301
00:13:48,716 --> 00:13:52,850
And then if you want to make the arguments about rape and about things like that.

302
00:13:52,916 --> 00:13:56,100
Look, those are horrible, horrible situations, and

303
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:59,633
my solution there is a bullet for the person who does it, and

304
00:13:59,633 --> 00:14:02,700
we shouldn't even argue about that if it's provable,

305
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,083
and you can, you know they did it.

306
00:14:04,133 --> 00:14:05,149
Get rid of them.

307
00:14:05,216 --> 00:14:08,216
That's my stance and always has been, and I know it's harsh, and I

308
00:14:08,216 --> 00:14:09,600
know that's not particularly Christian.

309
00:14:10,466 --> 00:14:12,783
In a lot of churches, they'd say I'm wrong about that.

310
00:14:12,833 --> 00:14:14,566
But look, that's my stance on it.

311
00:14:15,116 --> 00:14:18,299
And so I have a very hard stance there.

312
00:14:18,350 --> 00:14:21,350
So if that's what we're talking about, let's

313
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:24,350
get rid of those people and do it publicly so that anybody that

314
00:14:24,350 --> 00:14:27,350
even considers it and has those, because it's a mental illness

315
00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:30,283
if you do something like that, you'll think twice.

316
00:14:30,350 --> 00:14:33,416
And but these people,

317
00:14:33,416 --> 00:14:34,799
anybody arguing that stuff.

318
00:14:34,850 --> 00:14:38,033
I mean, this lady was just kind enough to prove it in a very, very public

319
00:14:38,033 --> 00:14:40,366
forum, and I really appreciated that.

320
00:14:40,433 --> 00:14:43,133
She does not care about the health of these women.

321
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,983
She does not care about the trauma they're experiencing or what they're going through.

322
00:14:47,033 --> 00:14:50,700
She wants the ability to sleep around with 0 consequences.

323
00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:53,083
And that's not reality.

324
00:14:53,149 --> 00:14:53,983
And appeal.

325
00:14:54,049 --> 00:14:57,533
I mean, you know, and guys, I'm telling you, people

326
00:14:57,533 --> 00:15:00,533
say, well, you know, what if it was your, what if it

327
00:15:00,533 --> 00:15:01,733
was your little girl or what?

328
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:02,816
She got pregnant, you know.

329
00:15:02,883 --> 00:15:06,000
I mean, I still cannot justify taking one

330
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,333
life for, you know, for other.

331
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:10,016
I mean, how do you how do you do that?

332
00:15:10,083 --> 00:15:12,600
And I'm just going to tell you, thank God.

333
00:15:12,649 --> 00:15:15,716
Because there are there are cases where

334
00:15:15,716 --> 00:15:16,850
women have been raped.

335
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:20,033
and children have come out of those cases

336
00:15:20,033 --> 00:15:23,216
who God has brought up

337
00:15:23,216 --> 00:15:27,416
and used and for

338
00:15:27,416 --> 00:15:28,850
his glory and his honor.

339
00:15:28,916 --> 00:15:32,399
And so, yeah, I mean,

340
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:35,516
why would we miss that opportunity to have the

341
00:15:35,516 --> 00:15:38,516
next, maybe Billy Graham or the next, you know,

342
00:15:38,516 --> 00:15:42,416
great preacher or evangelist

343
00:15:42,416 --> 00:15:44,583
or or, well, go secular.

344
00:15:44,633 --> 00:15:46,799
What about what if it's somebody who's going to cure cancer?

345
00:15:46,850 --> 00:15:50,033
Yeah, or cure some other incurable disease.

346
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:53,399
I mean, that's what you're eliminating is the possibility of that just

347
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:55,983
because you don't want the inconvenience of being pregnant.

348
00:15:56,033 --> 00:15:57,950
And that's and that's the truth.

349
00:15:58,016 --> 00:15:59,450
And that's what it boils down to.

350
00:15:59,516 --> 00:16:03,183
And it was just, it was incredible to watch that play out because I've

351
00:16:03,183 --> 00:16:06,250
seen this and I thought nobody is actually that level of dumb that

352
00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:09,350
they would stand to this, this standard they're setting and

353
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:11,750
say that they're not going to put any restriction whatsoever.

354
00:16:11,816 --> 00:16:14,149
And then I'm sitting here going, she's literally saying no.

355
00:16:14,216 --> 00:16:15,483
I'm like, what, what, so what?

356
00:16:15,533 --> 00:16:16,616
I can abort a five-year-old?

357
00:16:17,766 --> 00:16:18,950
It's emotional.

358
00:16:20,033 --> 00:16:20,933
People aren't really thinking.

359
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:21,716
They don't.

360
00:16:21,833 --> 00:16:22,916
They don't think about it.

361
00:16:22,983 --> 00:16:24,066
And it's so, so sad.

362
00:16:24,116 --> 00:16:27,299
So I, you know, pray, Christians just

363
00:16:27,299 --> 00:16:30,666
realize that that's that's what you're dealing with when we deal with the world are

364
00:16:30,666 --> 00:16:34,133
people that do not consider the long-term

365
00:16:34,133 --> 00:16:36,350
ramifications of some of the ideas they come up with.

366
00:16:36,350 --> 00:16:39,416
And if it's not biblical, we have to take the

367
00:16:39,416 --> 00:16:40,433
biblical stance every time.

368
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:43,616
And that is that all life is sacred and all life

369
00:16:43,616 --> 00:16:46,683
should be honored and is and is something that is precious

370
00:16:46,683 --> 00:16:47,816
and we have to protect it.

371
00:16:47,883 --> 00:16:51,000
So remember that, if you get drawn into some of those,

372
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,466
just be aware that, you know, keep it polite.

373
00:16:53,516 --> 00:16:54,483
Don't be rude to people.

374
00:16:54,533 --> 00:16:57,600
I mean, good lord, I got dog cussed a few times in that thread because

375
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,649
I wasn't willing to engage with some of the, she'd say

376
00:17:00,649 --> 00:17:02,450
stuff, try and make me mad, and I'd just go, okay.

377
00:17:03,466 --> 00:17:06,049
It really, it just make her matter and she'd keep coming at me.

378
00:17:06,049 --> 00:17:09,766
And, you know, don't, don't get angry because what,

379
00:17:09,783 --> 00:17:13,083
what that really goes to show me and prove to me this weekend was that,

380
00:17:13,083 --> 00:17:14,283
um, this world is lost.

381
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:17,266
And they really and truly cannot see the way.

382
00:17:17,450 --> 00:17:20,750
And that's what God gave us in the scripture,

383
00:17:20,750 --> 00:17:23,266
and that's what God has given us is the way, the truth, and the life.

384
00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:26,150
And we have to follow it.

385
00:17:26,216 --> 00:17:29,400
So that narrow road, make sure you're walking it.

386
00:17:29,450 --> 00:17:33,716
And also, I do have to point out, I'm very,

387
00:17:33,716 --> 00:17:37,983
very grateful, and I thank God for the 1st responders in Fort Payne today.

388
00:17:38,033 --> 00:17:39,650
They took care of the situation down at school.

389
00:17:40,433 --> 00:17:42,299
Everybody's safe.

390
00:17:42,349 --> 00:17:43,316
Nobody got hurt.

391
00:17:43,383 --> 00:17:46,866
There was there was no, they said the threat wasn't credible.

392
00:17:46,916 --> 00:17:50,216
They everybody, no problems, but they did go in.

393
00:17:50,283 --> 00:17:53,633
It was apparently a hoax and somebody made some threats,

394
00:17:53,633 --> 00:17:55,666
called the police department, made some threats.

395
00:17:55,733 --> 00:17:57,000
and so they went in, checked it out.

396
00:17:57,049 --> 00:17:58,666
They checked all the schools and everything.

397
00:17:58,733 --> 00:18:02,633
Police chief, you know, released some information on Facebook, about

398
00:18:02,633 --> 00:18:04,966
an hour ago and he said, yeah, no, everything's fine.

399
00:18:05,033 --> 00:18:06,166
We proved it.

400
00:18:06,233 --> 00:18:07,366
There was no weapons there.

401
00:18:07,433 --> 00:18:10,666
Nobody was under, you know, we couldn't find anybody in distress.

402
00:18:11,366 --> 00:18:14,516
Um, so, so thank you, thank you,

403
00:18:14,516 --> 00:18:17,583
thank you to our men and women that put themselves on the front line

404
00:18:17,583 --> 00:18:19,150
because that is a hard, hard job.

405
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,200
And I know whoever had to take that call down

406
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,316
at the 911 service was probably absolutely panicked

407
00:18:25,316 --> 00:18:27,349
because, I mean, our kids are in school.

408
00:18:27,416 --> 00:18:30,000
That is not a place you want to threat being made about.

409
00:18:30,049 --> 00:18:32,266
So thank you.

410
00:18:32,333 --> 00:18:35,750
Thank you to those folks, and we're praying, and I want y'all to know that we're praying for you.

411
00:18:35,816 --> 00:18:38,099
And we really, really appreciate the job you did.

412
00:18:38,099 --> 00:18:42,366
And everybody, because goodness, we had the FBI from Gadsden helping us out today.

413
00:18:43,566 --> 00:18:44,816
So I do.

414
00:18:44,883 --> 00:18:48,183
I wanna give a quick shout out to that and just be praying.

415
00:18:48,233 --> 00:18:51,900
pray for our kids in school this year because, man, we need it.

416
00:18:52,016 --> 00:18:53,150
They need it bad.

417
00:18:53,283 --> 00:18:56,283
And we got we, well, we got 5 of them

418
00:18:56,283 --> 00:18:59,750
being baptized tomorrow or next Sunday,

419
00:18:59,750 --> 00:19:02,683
and, you know, those kids are going into a battlefield.

420
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:06,416
I think you mentioned that Sunday when we prayed around them and they are.

421
00:19:06,483 --> 00:19:07,566
They're going into a battlefield.

422
00:19:07,616 --> 00:19:10,683
So keep praying for our schools and praying for our

423
00:19:10,683 --> 00:19:13,799
kids as the school year gets started back because it's starting all over the country and

424
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:17,033
it's just, ah, that just proves to me this world again.

425
00:19:17,099 --> 00:19:17,766
It's just lost.

426
00:19:17,816 --> 00:19:20,400
It's just lost and they don't know what they're looking for.

427
00:19:21,516 --> 00:19:24,716
So, Genesis chapter

428
00:19:24,716 --> 00:19:27,233
two, and we're starting with verse one tonight.

429
00:19:27,299 --> 00:19:28,083
Yeah, yeah.

430
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:29,816
We're still on the 7 days of creation.

431
00:19:29,883 --> 00:19:30,666
Really?

432
00:19:30,716 --> 00:19:32,216
Yeah, 6 days +one.

433
00:19:32,283 --> 00:19:33,366
Right, right.

434
00:19:34,216 --> 00:19:37,316
Yeah, and this is a, this is a weird thing.

435
00:19:37,383 --> 00:19:40,566
You know, you know, the Bible wasn't ridden with chapters and verses,

436
00:19:40,566 --> 00:19:44,933
but somewhere somebody decided to put chapter

437
00:19:44,933 --> 00:19:48,950
2 up into chapter one, as far as I'm concerned, because all

438
00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:52,183
the way up through verse 3 of chapter 2, it's still the

439
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,933
end of verse one.

440
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:54,183
Yeah

441
00:19:55,016 --> 00:19:58,083
Yeah, sometimes the way they broke it

442
00:19:58,083 --> 00:20:01,433
up, you know, but I'm

443
00:20:01,433 --> 00:20:04,133
convinced somebody found this one on a separate scroll and that's why they did it.

444
00:20:04,250 --> 00:20:05,866
I don't know.

445
00:20:06,066 --> 00:20:09,349
And we've probably said this before, but guys, in just in case you didn't

446
00:20:09,349 --> 00:20:12,349
know this, it wasn't originally broke up in chapters

447
00:20:12,349 --> 00:20:14,516
and verses, it was just one writing.

448
00:20:14,633 --> 00:20:17,816
So, uh, this is this is Moses' account

449
00:20:17,816 --> 00:20:20,400
of creation that was given to him by God.

450
00:20:20,450 --> 00:20:23,516
And so anyway, it does make it easier to break

451
00:20:23,516 --> 00:20:26,933
up into chapters and verses for us to read and memorizing

452
00:20:26,933 --> 00:20:30,950
things, but sometimes we think, eh, it could have went a little further here or...

453
00:20:31,016 --> 00:20:34,549
Hey, and another cool thing, you know, we mentioned that this was given by God.

454
00:20:34,616 --> 00:20:36,650
This is not just something that was dictated by God.

455
00:20:36,716 --> 00:20:39,783
This is also stuff that was, I mean, Adam told his

456
00:20:39,783 --> 00:20:42,783
sons what he witnessed of it, and they told

457
00:20:42,783 --> 00:20:45,900
their kids, and we're only a few generations from Adam to

458
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:47,400
Moses even.

459
00:20:47,450 --> 00:20:49,250
I mean, that's just a handful of generations.

460
00:20:49,316 --> 00:20:52,549
I mean, it's enough that, yeah, things could have gotten a little bit, but

461
00:20:52,549 --> 00:20:55,666
we know that God came along and clarified it, but we have people that

462
00:20:55,683 --> 00:20:58,500
were told by their great, great, great, great grandfather.

463
00:20:58,549 --> 00:20:59,383
This is what I witnessed.

464
00:20:59,450 --> 00:21:01,849
And it was passed down from generation generation.

465
00:21:01,916 --> 00:21:03,716
This is what I saw at the beginning.

466
00:21:03,783 --> 00:21:06,183
I mean, that's incredible to me.

467
00:21:06,233 --> 00:21:09,533
Adam, I mean, you know, we

468
00:21:09,533 --> 00:21:10,616
talk about Moses.

469
00:21:10,683 --> 00:21:13,799
Noah was, you know, he was old enough that he

470
00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:17,466
heard these stories from somebody who was only like a generation removed.

471
00:21:17,516 --> 00:21:19,683
I mean, that is amazing to me.

472
00:21:19,733 --> 00:21:24,049
There were 7 generations alive at the same time from Adam all the way down to.

473
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:27,650
I can't remember if it's Jared or somebody that all those guys were still alive.

474
00:21:27,716 --> 00:21:28,433
They live so long.

475
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:29,816
It was insane.

476
00:21:29,883 --> 00:21:32,883
Yeah, I mean, yeah, because, yeah, when we get to the, when we get to

477
00:21:32,883 --> 00:21:36,599
their ages a little bit later on when it tells how old Adam, I mean, he wasn't a young man.

478
00:21:36,650 --> 00:21:37,183
I mean, he was

479
00:21:37,433 --> 00:21:40,566
He was getting up there before he was having, you know, before he had the next

480
00:21:40,566 --> 00:21:42,183
child that's the one in line.

481
00:21:42,316 --> 00:21:43,750
And I mean, goodness.

482
00:21:43,816 --> 00:21:47,000
So, I mean, it's awesome when you look back at creation

483
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,166
and you look back at these this 1st chunk

484
00:21:50,166 --> 00:21:53,283
of Genesis to know that it was dictated to

485
00:21:53,299 --> 00:21:56,900
Moses and that's how we got it, but it was also passed

486
00:21:56,900 --> 00:21:59,900
down, that word of mouth of, I, you know,

487
00:21:59,900 --> 00:22:02,950
Adam saying, I witnessed the animals rising up out of

488
00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:05,166
the ground hearing a few verses.

489
00:22:05,299 --> 00:22:05,966
Sure.

490
00:22:06,433 --> 00:22:07,033
Amen.

491
00:22:07,099 --> 00:22:08,483
All right, I'm gonna do one through three.

492
00:22:08,533 --> 00:22:09,133
Do it man.

493
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:09,683
All right.

494
00:22:09,733 --> 00:22:12,366
Thus, the heavens and the earth were completed and all their hosts.

495
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:15,799
By the 7th day, God completed his work,

496
00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:19,633
which he had done, and he rested on the 7th day from all his work which he had done.

497
00:22:20,183 --> 00:22:23,650
Then God blessed the 7th day and sanctified it because

498
00:22:23,650 --> 00:22:27,316
in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.

499
00:22:28,683 --> 00:22:32,716
This is uh, this is the Sabbath that goes on to be the Sabbath day in the law.

500
00:22:32,766 --> 00:22:33,299
Yeah.

501
00:22:33,316 --> 00:22:36,250
And it's really, it really predates the law.

502
00:22:36,316 --> 00:22:37,933
It's kind of like the tithe, right?

503
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,566
Yeah, absolutely.

504
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:41,650
Abraham did it for her something years before.

505
00:22:41,650 --> 00:22:43,033
The law came around.

506
00:22:43,099 --> 00:22:43,633
That's right.

507
00:22:43,633 --> 00:22:46,866
But, uh, it's a really important concept.

508
00:22:46,933 --> 00:22:49,866
You know, he created us to need a day rest.

509
00:22:49,933 --> 00:22:50,950
He did, didn't he?

510
00:22:51,016 --> 00:22:52,033
Every week, one day.

511
00:22:52,733 --> 00:22:53,349
Amen.

512
00:22:53,416 --> 00:22:54,500
One day.

513
00:22:56,533 --> 00:22:59,533
And we need to realize here, I mean, did God rest

514
00:22:59,533 --> 00:23:00,616
because he was tired?

515
00:23:02,533 --> 00:23:05,716
No, he rested because

516
00:23:05,716 --> 00:23:07,400
one, he was finished.

517
00:23:08,033 --> 00:23:09,916
He rested because it was good.

518
00:23:09,966 --> 00:23:14,283
He rested because he had completed what he had set out to do.

519
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:19,099
And he rested because again

520
00:23:19,099 --> 00:23:21,733
to give us an example, like you just said.

521
00:23:22,033 --> 00:23:22,633
right?

522
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:25,033
Jesus said on the cross.

523
00:23:25,099 --> 00:23:26,233
It is finished.

524
00:23:26,299 --> 00:23:30,133
He was through with his redemptive work,

525
00:23:30,133 --> 00:23:31,400
his redemptive plan.

526
00:23:32,650 --> 00:23:36,066
And Romans 51 says, therefore, being justified by faith.

527
00:23:36,133 --> 00:23:38,166
We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

528
00:23:38,299 --> 00:23:43,566
So, uh, we will,

529
00:23:43,566 --> 00:23:47,583
one of these days that we're going to enter into a real Sabbath, aren't we?

530
00:23:47,650 --> 00:23:50,716
I mean, we don't really know what it is now, but

531
00:23:50,716 --> 00:23:53,716
one of these days we're going to enter into a real rest

532
00:23:53,716 --> 00:23:56,900
and we'll be able to rest because of

533
00:23:56,900 --> 00:24:00,683
salvation and because our salvation is complete in Jesus.

534
00:24:00,733 --> 00:24:03,849
In Hebrews, Hebrews goes into some really good detail in

535
00:24:03,849 --> 00:24:06,483
chapters 3 and 4 about arrest.

536
00:24:06,549 --> 00:24:09,549
It uses 2 different kinds of words for rest in this.

537
00:24:09,616 --> 00:24:12,133
There's a rest that we have in our work.

538
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:15,566
But there's also a Sabbath risk coming.

539
00:24:15,616 --> 00:24:16,283
That's right.

540
00:24:16,283 --> 00:24:17,400
The rest when we're home.

541
00:24:17,466 --> 00:24:18,599
We're home.

542
00:24:18,666 --> 00:24:21,183
But Jesus refers to that a little bit in Matthew 11.

543
00:24:21,433 --> 00:24:24,500
He said, verse 28, he says, come to me all who are weary and heavy

544
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:25,766
laden, and I will give you rest.

545
00:24:25,866 --> 00:24:28,866
He said, take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for

546
00:24:28,866 --> 00:24:32,166
I'm gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls,

547
00:24:32,166 --> 00:24:33,783
for my yoke is easy.

548
00:24:33,849 --> 00:24:35,116
and my burden is light.

549
00:24:35,166 --> 00:24:36,666
And that's a spiritual rest, isn't it?

550
00:24:36,733 --> 00:24:37,266
Yeah, it is.

551
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,133
It's a spiritual risk we find in him.

552
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:39,799
That's right.

553
00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:43,766
But there's also a physical rest that he wants for us.

554
00:24:43,866 --> 00:24:47,166
Because we know that, well, sometimes

555
00:24:47,166 --> 00:24:50,283
you can go so so long and so far that you

556
00:24:50,299 --> 00:24:51,916
might end up in the hospital, you know?

557
00:24:51,966 --> 00:24:53,233
I mean, it puts you down.

558
00:24:53,299 --> 00:24:56,833
It will stress and continuing

559
00:24:56,833 --> 00:25:00,016
to just go, go, go,

560
00:25:00,016 --> 00:25:02,533
go, go without any rest.

561
00:25:02,783 --> 00:25:04,516
It's a rest for our mind too.

562
00:25:04,566 --> 00:25:05,283
Amen.

563
00:25:05,299 --> 00:25:07,099
Yeah, because our minds need rest.

564
00:25:07,150 --> 00:25:10,150
Sometimes I've just got to, I just got to

565
00:25:10,150 --> 00:25:11,349
decompress.

566
00:25:11,416 --> 00:25:12,799
I gotta clear everything out.

567
00:25:12,849 --> 00:25:17,049
I got to, you know, some

568
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:20,116
of the worst moments is when you go to bed at night and you

569
00:25:20,116 --> 00:25:23,116
got something on your mind or something just pops into your mind and then

570
00:25:23,116 --> 00:25:24,250
you can't get it off your mind.

571
00:25:24,316 --> 00:25:27,500
You know, our minds can really, they

572
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:30,549
can drive us crazy if we're not, if we're not careful.

573
00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:32,766
And we, it's because we need rest.

574
00:25:32,833 --> 00:25:35,900
I like this time of year because I can go out and sit in the

575
00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:38,366
front porch on a rocking chair and just listen to the tree frogs.

576
00:25:39,066 --> 00:25:40,150
Just sit there.

577
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,766
Do nothing.

578
00:25:43,816 --> 00:25:46,400
My wife, it drives her crazy.

579
00:25:46,450 --> 00:25:48,616
Now, it depends on the day and the time.

580
00:25:48,666 --> 00:25:51,783
You know, sometimes I drive a lot during

581
00:25:51,799 --> 00:25:55,816
the day and a lot of times I'm listening to praise and worship.

582
00:25:55,866 --> 00:25:58,983
I'm listening to or, you know, a gospel song,

583
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,416
I'm listening to preaching podcasts

584
00:26:02,416 --> 00:26:03,433
and different things like that.

585
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:07,400
But then there's a lot of times, I don't even turn the radio on.

586
00:26:07,450 --> 00:26:07,816
Yeah.

587
00:26:07,816 --> 00:26:11,049
I just, I just like, just the silence, right?

588
00:26:11,116 --> 00:26:14,183
And my wife will get in there and she's like, I don't know how you do this.

589
00:26:14,233 --> 00:26:17,233
Have you not been listening to anything all day because the volume will

590
00:26:17,233 --> 00:26:20,466
be down, you know, there won't be anything on and I'm like, no,

591
00:26:20,466 --> 00:26:22,383
I hadn't listened to a thing all day long.

592
00:26:22,450 --> 00:26:26,416
Like I, from the time I got in here this morning to the time I got out just now.

593
00:26:27,133 --> 00:26:28,150
There was nothing.

594
00:26:28,216 --> 00:26:29,783
There was no noise while I was driving.

595
00:26:29,833 --> 00:26:30,799
It's awesome too.

596
00:26:30,849 --> 00:26:31,216
It is.

597
00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:31,450
Yeah.

598
00:26:31,516 --> 00:26:32,716
Yeah, yeah.

599
00:26:32,766 --> 00:26:35,349
And sometimes I'll sit there and I don't have a thought in my head.

600
00:26:35,466 --> 00:26:36,066
No.

601
00:26:36,133 --> 00:26:39,799
Just like, you know, that old wind up monkey in my head clapping the cymbals.

602
00:26:39,849 --> 00:26:40,750
Oh, yeah, yeah.

603
00:26:40,866 --> 00:26:41,950
what she'll say sometimes.

604
00:26:42,066 --> 00:26:43,983
She'll say, what were you thinking about?

605
00:26:44,116 --> 00:26:47,183
And I was like, uh, nothing.

606
00:26:50,650 --> 00:26:53,650
And I was going to say, that's one of the things that I

607
00:26:53,650 --> 00:26:56,116
think most women, they don't understand.

608
00:26:56,166 --> 00:27:00,000
For us, we can actually sit and our brains can just kind of flatline.

609
00:27:00,066 --> 00:27:01,683
And it's really, really nice.

610
00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:03,316
Shut it down.

611
00:27:03,366 --> 00:27:05,233
Sometimes I forget to breathe.

612
00:27:06,683 --> 00:27:07,933
I do.

613
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,166
Like, my kids are, they'll make fun of me because I'm sitting there and

614
00:27:11,166 --> 00:27:12,433
sometimes I'm just like,

615
00:27:15,250 --> 00:27:16,983
And I go, hey, dad, breathe.

616
00:27:18,333 --> 00:27:19,933
You're like, oh, I wasn't breathing.

617
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:20,966
Okay, all right.

618
00:27:21,016 --> 00:27:21,616
We're alive.

619
00:27:21,666 --> 00:27:22,200
Okay.

620
00:27:22,216 --> 00:27:22,516
Yeah.

621
00:27:22,566 --> 00:27:25,983
And I do want to point out here because it

622
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,333
always comes up when you get to Genesis chapter two.

623
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:34,516
Never forget, the Sabbath was made for

624
00:27:34,516 --> 00:27:36,316
us, not the other way around.

625
00:27:36,366 --> 00:27:39,599
There's some people that want to really put a

626
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:43,566
lot of importance on that, but you go to Mark 2, 27,

627
00:27:43,566 --> 00:27:45,783
uh, 227 and 36,

628
00:27:46,150 --> 00:27:49,333
And Jesus specifically said the Sabbath

629
00:27:49,333 --> 00:27:51,733
was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.

630
00:27:51,799 --> 00:27:54,866
Therefore, the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath, and he

631
00:27:54,866 --> 00:27:57,966
was specifically talking to his disciples

632
00:27:57,966 --> 00:28:00,966
because they were out walking, and they, good

633
00:28:00,966 --> 00:28:04,150
Lord, they picked some grain, and they took a bite

634
00:28:04,150 --> 00:28:07,383
out of it, and they, and, and they were...

635
00:28:07,450 --> 00:28:10,516
They were so tore up that they had picked that grain on the

636
00:28:10,516 --> 00:28:14,416
Sabbath that everybody was getting mad at him and Jesus said, y'all, what do you do?

637
00:28:14,733 --> 00:28:15,250
Yeah.

638
00:28:15,250 --> 00:28:16,216
You know,

639
00:28:16,266 --> 00:28:19,633
And now, and I get the argument there because he had such a short time,

640
00:28:19,633 --> 00:28:22,516
he really didn't rest in those 3 years.

641
00:28:22,633 --> 00:28:25,633
And I mean, I get that, that that absolutely,

642
00:28:25,633 --> 00:28:28,566
but he, the fact that he took the time to go, whoa, whoa, whoa.

643
00:28:28,633 --> 00:28:31,216
The Sabbath was made for man, not the other way around.

644
00:28:31,266 --> 00:28:35,233
Do you not know that the priests are working on Sunday when they're in there in the temple?

645
00:28:35,299 --> 00:28:36,200
And they're blameless.

646
00:28:36,250 --> 00:28:39,250
They're not held to account for not honoring the Sabbath

647
00:28:39,250 --> 00:28:40,866
because they're doing what they were called to do.

648
00:28:40,933 --> 00:28:44,299
You know, Jesus pulled away from him at times and just went off by himself.

649
00:28:44,349 --> 00:28:47,049
And I think I think that was his Sabbath.

650
00:28:47,049 --> 00:28:50,283
Because you read it out of the Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy chapter 5.

651
00:28:50,466 --> 00:28:53,049
It says, observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy.

652
00:28:53,049 --> 00:28:56,833
As the Lord your God commanded you, 6 days you shall do,

653
00:28:56,833 --> 00:28:58,266
you shall labor and do all your work.

654
00:28:58,333 --> 00:29:01,333
But the 7th day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God, in

655
00:29:01,333 --> 00:29:02,599
it, you shall not do any work.

656
00:29:02,650 --> 00:29:06,250
You're your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, your ox,

657
00:29:06,250 --> 00:29:09,316
or your tunk, or any of your cattle, or your sojourner stays with you

658
00:29:09,316 --> 00:29:12,200
so that your male servant, and your female servant may rest as well as you.

659
00:29:12,433 --> 00:29:13,750
Right?

660
00:29:13,816 --> 00:29:16,450
And it was a day to unwind.

661
00:29:16,516 --> 00:29:19,583
And it's not, it don't have to be Saturday.

662
00:29:19,633 --> 00:29:20,349
Right.

663
00:29:20,349 --> 00:29:22,266
No, it don't have to be Saturday.

664
00:29:22,333 --> 00:29:23,466
We observe the Lord's Day.

665
00:29:23,533 --> 00:29:26,650
Sunday, but it can also be another

666
00:29:26,650 --> 00:29:28,033
day because it's made for us.

667
00:29:28,099 --> 00:29:28,866
It is.

668
00:29:28,866 --> 00:29:29,583
It is.

669
00:29:29,650 --> 00:29:31,750
He's saying, hey, you got to rest.

670
00:29:31,816 --> 00:29:33,133
You've got to, yeah.

671
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:33,916
Unwind.

672
00:29:33,966 --> 00:29:34,933
Yeah, unwind.

673
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,166
And it's a day, it's a day that what he points out here is

674
00:29:38,166 --> 00:29:39,733
to keep it holy.

675
00:29:39,799 --> 00:29:42,916
And it's a day, I think, I

676
00:29:42,916 --> 00:29:46,283
read somebody said it's a time to reflect on God's works in your life.

677
00:29:46,333 --> 00:29:49,333
It's not just

678
00:29:49,333 --> 00:29:51,016
a day to do, but it's a day to be.

679
00:29:51,133 --> 00:29:52,400
Yeah, absolutely.

680
00:29:53,349 --> 00:29:56,416
It's just been a few weeks ago that I

681
00:29:56,416 --> 00:29:58,150
mean, I needed a day or two.

682
00:29:58,216 --> 00:30:00,083
I was just like, I was spent.

683
00:30:00,133 --> 00:30:02,900
I was just spent mentally, physically, spiritually.

684
00:30:03,016 --> 00:30:05,116
I just, I just, I don't know.

685
00:30:05,166 --> 00:30:08,166
I mean, it wasn't any one particular thing,

686
00:30:08,166 --> 00:30:10,200
but I was I was spent.

687
00:30:10,216 --> 00:30:13,216
And I think that night, I think

688
00:30:13,216 --> 00:30:16,516
that was one of the nights that you said, hey, that Monday,

689
00:30:16,516 --> 00:30:19,700
I had been trying to make myself rest and make

690
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:23,233
myself slow down a little bit, you know, and that Monday we didn't we

691
00:30:23,233 --> 00:30:26,166
didn't have the podcast and I was just, I mean, I love doing this.

692
00:30:26,233 --> 00:30:26,950
Don't get me wrong.

693
00:30:27,016 --> 00:30:30,016
I love doing this, but I was like, okay, that, you

694
00:30:30,016 --> 00:30:31,283
know, Lord, you knew.

695
00:30:31,333 --> 00:30:31,700
you, Lord.

696
00:30:31,750 --> 00:30:33,433
You knew what I needed tonight, you know?

697
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:36,500
And you just got to stop,

698
00:30:36,500 --> 00:30:40,033
man, because you can get so overwhelmed and we're,

699
00:30:40,033 --> 00:30:42,916
we got to remember, this is, you know, we're, we're frail.

700
00:30:43,033 --> 00:30:43,816
Yes.

701
00:30:43,816 --> 00:30:46,816
We really are frail beings, you know, and we can, if

702
00:30:46,816 --> 00:30:47,950
we don't take care of ourselves.

703
00:30:49,483 --> 00:30:52,750
I mean, mentally, physically,

704
00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:56,833
spiritually, all the things, you know, like I've

705
00:30:56,833 --> 00:30:59,950
lost a lot of weight lately and I still

706
00:30:59,950 --> 00:31:01,266
got some more that I want to lose.

707
00:31:02,133 --> 00:31:05,716
But I look back, my wife said, the

708
00:31:05,716 --> 00:31:08,950
little, we need to do a new ending, by the way, at the

709
00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:12,366
end of the service, you know, when we switch off the video, my

710
00:31:12,366 --> 00:31:13,799
wife was showing me yesterday.

711
00:31:13,866 --> 00:31:17,466
She goes, Brian, she said, look at you because at

712
00:31:17,466 --> 00:31:20,766
the end of our services, it switches

713
00:31:20,766 --> 00:31:24,299
from the live to a

714
00:31:24,316 --> 00:31:27,316
prerecorded thing, just, you know, and thanking everybody

715
00:31:27,316 --> 00:31:30,433
for listening and watching and inviting everybody to come

716
00:31:30,433 --> 00:31:33,799
and call if you need this or whatever's going on, you know.

717
00:31:33,849 --> 00:31:36,666
And I look like dang job of the hut.

718
00:31:36,733 --> 00:31:39,549
I mean...

719
00:31:39,616 --> 00:31:42,983
Look at you here and she backed it up and look at you up here standing up here.

720
00:31:43,033 --> 00:31:44,416
You know, she's like, 0 my god.

721
00:31:44,466 --> 00:31:46,750
I was like, yeah, I was big.

722
00:31:46,816 --> 00:31:48,383
That was a few months ago.

723
00:31:48,433 --> 00:31:49,333
That's not been long

724
00:31:49,516 --> 00:31:50,599
It has not been.

725
00:31:50,650 --> 00:31:52,333
It was around Easter when we did that.

726
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,116
Yeah, yeah.

727
00:31:54,033 --> 00:31:55,933
It hadn't been long at all.

728
00:31:56,983 --> 00:31:59,650
So, you don't really think about it, though, you know?

729
00:31:59,716 --> 00:32:00,083
Right.

730
00:32:00,083 --> 00:32:03,299
I mean, you don't even, I mean, I knew I was big, but I

731
00:32:03,316 --> 00:32:05,349
just didn't think of myself like that, you know?

732
00:32:05,416 --> 00:32:07,283
I was like, yeah, bad guy's big.

733
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,183
I'm a big guy.

734
00:32:09,533 --> 00:32:10,450
Oh, that's me.

735
00:32:11,333 --> 00:32:12,733
Oh, that's a Mira.

736
00:32:12,799 --> 00:32:13,166
Okay.

737
00:32:13,216 --> 00:32:14,299
Whoops.

738
00:32:14,716 --> 00:32:17,650
But anyway, we've got to take care.

739
00:32:17,716 --> 00:32:21,016
rabbit trail there, but we've got to take care of ourselves.

740
00:32:21,066 --> 00:32:22,500
We have to take care of ourselves.

741
00:32:22,566 --> 00:32:23,883
And that's one of the things.

742
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:26,900
I always tell people that if you're one of the church workers and you work in

743
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:30,383
the church, make sure you're setting aside some time to

744
00:32:30,383 --> 00:32:34,083
unwind, to rest, to pray,

745
00:32:34,099 --> 00:32:35,833
not just, not just goof off.

746
00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:39,683
I mean, and don't get me wrong, goofing off and just doing nothing is important.

747
00:32:39,733 --> 00:32:40,333
You need it too.

748
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,733
But some time for you to actually focus on

749
00:32:42,966 --> 00:32:46,033
I'm not trying to pour into somebody else, and I'm not trying to

750
00:32:46,033 --> 00:32:48,200
feed somebody else, I'm going to let God feed me.

751
00:32:48,250 --> 00:32:51,133
And you sit down with a word and you take some time for yourself.

752
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:51,799
Sure.

753
00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:53,416
And it's hard.

754
00:32:53,466 --> 00:32:55,750
It is really, really hard, especially in today's society.

755
00:32:55,816 --> 00:32:57,500
Part of the sub of thing was trust.

756
00:32:57,549 --> 00:32:58,266
Yes.

757
00:32:58,266 --> 00:32:58,933
It was trust.

758
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,733
You look at Chick-fil-A.

759
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:01,283
Right.

760
00:33:01,333 --> 00:33:01,750
Right.

761
00:33:01,816 --> 00:33:04,033
They're closed on Sundays and they still make the same revenue.

762
00:33:04,099 --> 00:33:05,183
Absolutely.

763
00:33:05,233 --> 00:33:06,799
more restaurants than most restaurants.

764
00:33:06,849 --> 00:33:07,216
Right.

765
00:33:07,266 --> 00:33:07,450
Yeah.

766
00:33:07,450 --> 00:33:10,516
And it's about trust and God set aside a Sabbath

767
00:33:10,516 --> 00:33:12,500
not just for man, but for land.

768
00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:15,383
For like the fields and stuff every 7th year.

769
00:33:15,383 --> 00:33:18,549
Don't till your fields and don't plan anything because

770
00:33:18,549 --> 00:33:21,066
I'm going to provide for even 6th year for the 7th year.

771
00:33:21,133 --> 00:33:22,099
And it's trust.

772
00:33:22,150 --> 00:33:23,283
It is, it is.

773
00:33:23,349 --> 00:33:25,333
Now I will say God's chicken ain't cheap.

774
00:33:27,533 --> 00:33:28,816
It's milk chicks, ain't it?

775
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:32,833
He can buy a gallon of sweet tea down here and you're fixing.

776
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:34,933
Pull out some change, buddy.

777
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,016
But anyway.

778
00:33:36,133 --> 00:33:39,316
Yeah, that that price seems to have gotten kind of kind of on up there.

779
00:33:39,849 --> 00:33:42,549
But, you know, I mean, that's that's the thing.

780
00:33:42,616 --> 00:33:45,849
If you are, if you do work in your church, if you do work for them,

781
00:33:45,849 --> 00:33:47,716
make sure you're taking some time.

782
00:33:47,716 --> 00:33:50,950
And, you know, that's why I always encourage churches, make sure you're

783
00:33:50,950 --> 00:33:54,066
taking time together as a church to get together and not

784
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:55,566
necessarily be working or something.

785
00:33:55,633 --> 00:33:57,016
Everybody just brings something small.

786
00:33:57,066 --> 00:33:58,500
We're not going to have a lot to clean up.

787
00:33:58,566 --> 00:34:01,933
Just, just take some time to spend time together,

788
00:34:01,933 --> 00:34:05,049
take some time to sit down where you're not doing the

789
00:34:05,049 --> 00:34:08,050
work and you're not doing the stuff and you're just sitting down with you and God

790
00:34:08,050 --> 00:34:11,283
and your family and spending some time going,

791
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:15,383
okay, Lord, I need to be renewed so I can get back to work.

792
00:34:15,433 --> 00:34:18,500
And it's such a difficult thing in today's society

793
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:19,633
because it is frowned upon.

794
00:34:19,699 --> 00:34:22,766
It is, and the thing is, everybody makes fun of it like,

795
00:34:22,766 --> 00:34:26,716
oh, no, that was a boomer thing where you just work 7 days a week and you never take a...

796
00:34:26,766 --> 00:34:29,766
No, that's still the attitude that people have today, they just have

797
00:34:29,766 --> 00:34:32,833
it in different ways, and it may not necessarily be about work,

798
00:34:32,833 --> 00:34:34,266
but it's about going to ball games.

799
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:35,716
It's about doing stuff for school.

800
00:34:35,766 --> 00:34:38,766
It's about doing stuff for, and it's about go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

801
00:34:38,833 --> 00:34:41,416
We got to go do this event and do that event and do these things.

802
00:34:41,466 --> 00:34:44,766
That stuff is just as much work and taking just as much out of you.

803
00:34:44,833 --> 00:34:46,516
There is a reason that when you read the commandment,

804
00:34:46,566 --> 00:34:49,033
It is, don't leave.

805
00:34:49,099 --> 00:34:50,533
Just go sit down.

806
00:34:50,599 --> 00:34:52,766
I mean, God was making it real clear.

807
00:34:52,816 --> 00:34:55,216
He's like, everybody just sit down and just stop.

808
00:34:55,333 --> 00:34:56,716
And I'm going to provide for you.

809
00:34:58,750 --> 00:34:59,166
I got it.

810
00:34:59,233 --> 00:34:59,599
I got it.

811
00:34:59,650 --> 00:35:00,483
Just sit down and stop.

812
00:35:00,550 --> 00:35:01,216
You're good.

813
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:04,199
My son-in-law was ordained last night.

814
00:35:04,266 --> 00:35:06,433
He's a youth pastor.

815
00:35:07,183 --> 00:35:08,949
at the church in Scottsboro.

816
00:35:09,016 --> 00:35:12,016
And but one of the things, you know, which he's

817
00:35:12,016 --> 00:35:15,800
been in ministry for a while, they just now ordained him, but and

818
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,133
he's got some good experience behind his belt.

819
00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:21,199
But one thing I've told them is, you know, just sometimes you

820
00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:23,066
got to back off, sometimes you got to rest.

821
00:35:23,116 --> 00:35:26,116
Sometimes you got to, yeah, because because

822
00:35:26,116 --> 00:35:29,716
the heaviness of of ministry

823
00:35:29,716 --> 00:35:33,016
can really, really weigh on you and get to you.

824
00:35:33,066 --> 00:35:34,633
You've seen those pictures of the guy.

825
00:35:34,699 --> 00:35:38,666
He looks like he's 92 and he says, hey, I've been preaching for 5 years, you know?

826
00:35:38,883 --> 00:35:40,516
I'm 25 years old.

827
00:35:40,566 --> 00:35:41,099
Yeah.

828
00:35:42,066 --> 00:35:45,733
And but I told I told him I started out last night.

829
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,916
I had jokes last night, you know, and I preached this before I...

830
00:35:48,916 --> 00:35:49,400
Can't imagine.

831
00:35:49,933 --> 00:35:50,000
yeah

832
00:35:50,116 --> 00:35:51,316
I mean, I didn't have to.

833
00:35:51,316 --> 00:35:52,400
My wife's locker.

834
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,699
Anyway, but I told him, I said, I said, look,

835
00:35:55,699 --> 00:35:59,650
I said, I said, youth ministry, is

836
00:35:59,650 --> 00:36:03,066
not that much different than adult ministry.

837
00:36:03,133 --> 00:36:04,699
I said, with youth ministry.

838
00:36:04,750 --> 00:36:08,116
You just got a bunch of kids that's trying to figure out how they can drive you crazy.

839
00:36:08,166 --> 00:36:10,983
And I said, with adult ministry, they've already figured it out.

840
00:36:11,050 --> 00:36:12,550
So...

841
00:36:12,616 --> 00:36:14,349
Yeah, they perfect.

842
00:36:14,650 --> 00:36:15,366
They got practice.

843
00:36:17,283 --> 00:36:18,433
So anyway.

844
00:36:18,500 --> 00:36:20,783
Hey, that and that's what youth ministry is.

845
00:36:20,833 --> 00:36:22,816
It's all about giving those kids practice for being adults.

846
00:36:22,866 --> 00:36:23,533
That's it.

847
00:36:23,533 --> 00:36:25,866
And if that means driving everybody completely up the wall,

848
00:36:25,933 --> 00:36:27,133
Good job.

849
00:36:27,199 --> 00:36:27,916
You did your job.

850
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:30,916
But I am.

851
00:36:30,966 --> 00:36:34,150
I'm looking forward to that day of rest and that's

852
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:36,849
going to be one of the best things about that new beginning, right?

853
00:36:36,916 --> 00:36:38,783
make it everything new.

854
00:36:40,233 --> 00:36:42,800
And there's going to be work for us to do in heaven, right?

855
00:36:42,849 --> 00:36:43,083
Yeah.

856
00:36:43,099 --> 00:36:44,900
And we rested at work.

857
00:36:44,949 --> 00:36:45,550
Yeah, yeah.

858
00:36:45,616 --> 00:36:46,400
We do.

859
00:36:46,449 --> 00:36:48,849
It's going to be, I don't get tired anymore.

860
00:36:48,916 --> 00:36:50,783
You know, I think it's incredible.

861
00:36:50,833 --> 00:36:54,316
Anytime I look at the Sabbath and I look at all of that.

862
00:36:54,366 --> 00:36:57,433
When I go back and I look at what God did, for

863
00:36:57,433 --> 00:37:00,500
the children of Israel, when they were, you know, going in the desert there,

864
00:37:00,500 --> 00:37:04,266
as they were on the way to the promised land and he starts sending the manna from heaven and

865
00:37:04,266 --> 00:37:07,750
he sent them enough on the 6th day.

866
00:37:07,816 --> 00:37:09,683
He always sent extra.

867
00:37:09,733 --> 00:37:10,449
Yeah.

868
00:37:10,449 --> 00:37:13,383
And he's like, just that's the only day you're allowed to collect extra.

869
00:37:13,449 --> 00:37:16,816
And I want you to collect extra that day and he always sent more than enough.

870
00:37:16,866 --> 00:37:19,866
And I mean, if he would provide for them that way, how

871
00:37:19,866 --> 00:37:21,183
much more can he provide for us today?

872
00:37:21,250 --> 00:37:25,150
I mean, we live in a society where it's everything is in abundance.

873
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,750
We don't have anything that we're actually struggling

874
00:37:28,750 --> 00:37:30,483
to find something.

875
00:37:30,550 --> 00:37:33,733
I mean, yeah, maybe expensive, but the fact is,

876
00:37:33,733 --> 00:37:36,500
even if it's expensive, it's still an abundant amount of what you get.

877
00:37:36,550 --> 00:37:39,849
So, so, so the message is go to Chick-fil-A

878
00:37:39,849 --> 00:37:41,416
on Saturday and order.

879
00:37:41,416 --> 00:37:41,900
Order extra.

880
00:37:41,949 --> 00:37:42,250
That's right

881
00:37:42,433 --> 00:37:43,449
Yeah, that's right.

882
00:37:44,733 --> 00:37:45,666
You can eat.

883
00:37:45,733 --> 00:37:49,099
Or if you really, if you're on a diet, go Chick-fil-A on Sunday.

884
00:37:49,583 --> 00:37:50,416
Exactly.

885
00:37:51,333 --> 00:37:52,933
Or whatever they'll sell you.

886
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,800
Yeah, whatever you need. parking lot stairs to build.

887
00:37:54,849 --> 00:37:56,349
Yeah, whatever you want to try to get.

888
00:37:56,599 --> 00:37:59,650
Turn your mind off and just if you're fasting,

889
00:37:59,650 --> 00:38:01,083
you can go to Chick-fil-A on Sunday.

890
00:38:01,150 --> 00:38:02,050
Love it.

891
00:38:05,133 --> 00:38:06,550
Let's hit verse four.

892
00:38:06,616 --> 00:38:07,150
Yeah.

893
00:38:07,216 --> 00:38:10,216
These are the generations of heaven.

894
00:38:10,783 --> 00:38:14,000
And of the earth, when they were created, in the day of

895
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,583
the Lord, God made the earth and the heavens.

896
00:38:17,733 --> 00:38:19,866
This is the gear switch, right?

897
00:38:19,933 --> 00:38:20,599
Yeah, it is.

898
00:38:20,650 --> 00:38:21,183
It really is.

899
00:38:21,250 --> 00:38:24,433
This is the word generations also translates

900
00:38:24,433 --> 00:38:26,599
as families are 2 families.

901
00:38:26,650 --> 00:38:29,883
Um, and, and so it's, it's a,

902
00:38:29,900 --> 00:38:32,900
it's a new beginning and,

903
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:36,199
and we see the families of the heavens

904
00:38:36,199 --> 00:38:37,699
and the earth, right?

905
00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:41,349
We see this, we see this coming together and God's just doing something.

906
00:38:42,083 --> 00:38:43,633
He's doing something brand new.

907
00:38:43,699 --> 00:38:44,183
Yeah.

908
00:38:44,233 --> 00:38:46,750
And to me, this is verse one of chapter two.

909
00:38:46,816 --> 00:38:47,650
Yeah, yeah.

910
00:38:47,766 --> 00:38:50,283
He's going to start retelling the whole story.

911
00:38:50,416 --> 00:38:50,833
That's right.

912
00:38:50,833 --> 00:38:52,333
But just with details this time.

913
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,300
Yeah, yeah, he starts kind of sketching it out a little bit so we can...

914
00:38:56,349 --> 00:38:58,033
So I gave you an overview of this.

915
00:38:58,099 --> 00:38:59,900
Now let's show let me show you what it really looks like.

916
00:39:00,016 --> 00:39:00,550
Yeah.

917
00:39:00,616 --> 00:39:03,983
Yeah, it kind of zeroes in, I guess, probably what, day 6 or something?

918
00:39:04,033 --> 00:39:04,633
Yeah.

919
00:39:05,183 --> 00:39:08,416
Well, yeah, he may go back to day three.

920
00:39:08,466 --> 00:39:10,449
But, yeah, yeah.

921
00:39:10,516 --> 00:39:11,533
I don't I don't know.

922
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:13,216
I know a lot of people get confused by that.

923
00:39:13,266 --> 00:39:14,583
I've had that question before.

924
00:39:14,650 --> 00:39:15,966
is like, what is he talking about?

925
00:39:16,033 --> 00:39:19,150
And verse, you know, they get them mixed up because

926
00:39:19,150 --> 00:39:21,966
they don't realize that he starts over again.

927
00:39:22,266 --> 00:39:24,366
Some people want to say, that's 2 accounts.

928
00:39:24,433 --> 00:39:25,099
So it's not.

929
00:39:25,150 --> 00:39:26,050
It's the same one.

930
00:39:26,116 --> 00:39:26,783
The same one.

931
00:39:26,833 --> 00:39:27,733
Yeah, yeah.

932
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,866
And I've heard the

933
00:39:30,866 --> 00:39:34,150
argument before because if you go to Jewish scholars and ask them,

934
00:39:34,150 --> 00:39:37,333
they're like, well, you know, that's because it's

935
00:39:37,333 --> 00:39:38,349
just telling us that God did it.

936
00:39:38,416 --> 00:39:39,800
Like, and we'll just leave it at that.

937
00:39:39,849 --> 00:39:41,233
I'm like, no, it's giving us specifics.

938
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:42,433
Don't don't don't be so general.

939
00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:43,166
Come on.

940
00:39:43,216 --> 00:39:45,316
You're his sons and daughters too.

941
00:39:45,366 --> 00:39:46,449
Let's get specific here.

942
00:39:46,516 --> 00:39:49,099
He's giving you a guide and he's giving you the specifics.

943
00:39:49,150 --> 00:39:49,683
Calm down.

944
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,766
There are even people that question the word day in verse

945
00:39:53,766 --> 00:39:55,800
four, like, in the day that the Lord God made that.

946
00:39:55,866 --> 00:39:56,400
Oh, yeah.

947
00:39:56,466 --> 00:39:59,533
He's talking about the end of days or

948
00:39:59,533 --> 00:40:01,750
it's a general chunk of time.

949
00:40:01,816 --> 00:40:02,533
That's right.

950
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:03,199
Yeah.

951
00:40:03,199 --> 00:40:04,216
But no.

952
00:40:05,083 --> 00:40:08,599
I tell you, man, people can be so pedantic.

953
00:40:09,233 --> 00:40:11,116
Yeah, obtuse.

954
00:40:11,166 --> 00:40:14,283
Yeah, you know, just just weird about, they

955
00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:17,349
just want to pick these verses apart and go, well, yeah,

956
00:40:17,349 --> 00:40:19,983
they try to make some something out of it that it's not, yeah?

957
00:40:20,050 --> 00:40:21,616
Instead of just taking his word for his word.

958
00:40:21,666 --> 00:40:24,599
Yeah, or look at the big picture a little bit.

959
00:40:24,666 --> 00:40:25,750
And it makes sense.

960
00:40:25,816 --> 00:40:26,900
He said altogether, right?

961
00:40:26,949 --> 00:40:28,750
The puzzle pieces fit.

962
00:40:28,816 --> 00:40:29,783
Yeah, make them fit.

963
00:40:29,833 --> 00:40:33,016
So, yeah, we try to we try to do something that

964
00:40:33,583 --> 00:40:34,699
pull it out thin air.

965
00:40:34,750 --> 00:40:35,166
It's not there

966
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:35,783
Yeah.

967
00:40:36,283 --> 00:40:37,099
Yeah.

968
00:40:37,099 --> 00:40:38,483
You hit those next two.

969
00:40:38,533 --> 00:40:39,366
Next two.

970
00:40:39,433 --> 00:40:39,849
Sounds good.

971
00:40:39,916 --> 00:40:40,583
Verse 5.

972
00:40:40,816 --> 00:40:44,000
Now, no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant

973
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,183
of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not sent

974
00:40:47,183 --> 00:40:50,400
rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate

975
00:40:50,416 --> 00:40:53,466
the ground, but a mist used to rise from the earth and water

976
00:40:53,466 --> 00:40:54,733
the whole surface of the ground.

977
00:40:54,849 --> 00:40:56,233
Yeah.

978
00:40:56,233 --> 00:41:00,066
Now this is kind of kind of weird that it uses the word shrub.

979
00:41:00,133 --> 00:41:03,800
shrub and plant, but it says of the field.

980
00:41:03,849 --> 00:41:07,566
And these are, you go back to the Hebrews,

981
00:41:07,566 --> 00:41:11,099
shrub can also mean plant and plant can also mean grass or herbs.

982
00:41:11,166 --> 00:41:11,650
Yeah.

983
00:41:11,650 --> 00:41:13,216
So it's really like crops.

984
00:41:13,266 --> 00:41:13,750
Right.

985
00:41:13,750 --> 00:41:15,066
That he's talking about.

986
00:41:15,133 --> 00:41:15,433
Yeah.

987
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:19,099
Because we see in day three, all that stuff is...

988
00:41:19,099 --> 00:41:20,000
It's there before man.

989
00:41:20,050 --> 00:41:21,483
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

990
00:41:21,550 --> 00:41:25,083
So, so no rain, but

991
00:41:25,099 --> 00:41:27,916
a mist from the ground that took care of all the plans.

992
00:41:27,966 --> 00:41:31,033
Took care of all the all that was growing.

993
00:41:31,150 --> 00:41:34,933
In chapter one, God was making a

994
00:41:34,933 --> 00:41:38,166
place for man to live, preparing a place for

995
00:41:38,166 --> 00:41:41,166
them to live, and chapter two, he's getting ready to move man

996
00:41:41,166 --> 00:41:42,250
into his place, right?

997
00:41:42,316 --> 00:41:43,283
Yeah, yeah.

998
00:41:43,333 --> 00:41:43,750
Yeah.

999
00:41:43,750 --> 00:41:45,666
It's built him a place.

1000
00:41:45,733 --> 00:41:47,050
There's about two.

1001
00:41:47,116 --> 00:41:47,533
Yeah.

1002
00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:48,199
Yeah.

1003
00:41:49,983 --> 00:41:50,599
All right.

1004
00:41:50,650 --> 00:41:51,316
Seven?

1005
00:41:51,316 --> 00:41:51,849
Seven?

1006
00:41:52,183 --> 00:41:55,333
And the Lord God, foreign man out of the dust

1007
00:41:55,333 --> 00:41:58,516
of the ground and breathed into his nostrils, the breath

1008
00:41:58,516 --> 00:42:01,216
of life, and man became a living soul.

1009
00:42:01,266 --> 00:42:02,099
Wow.

1010
00:42:02,883 --> 00:42:03,733
And that's something?

1011
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:04,633
Yeah.

1012
00:42:04,699 --> 00:42:05,783
I mean, crazy.

1013
00:42:05,833 --> 00:42:07,633
It's interesting.

1014
00:42:07,699 --> 00:42:10,816
Our bodies are made up of 15

1015
00:42:10,816 --> 00:42:12,800
or 16 chemical elements.

1016
00:42:13,133 --> 00:42:15,800
And those same elements are all in the ground.

1017
00:42:16,433 --> 00:42:17,900
Every single one of them.

1018
00:42:17,949 --> 00:42:20,949
The physical part of man was made of the dust

1019
00:42:20,949 --> 00:42:21,966
of the ground.

1020
00:42:22,783 --> 00:42:24,800
But we're more than that, right?

1021
00:42:24,849 --> 00:42:26,883
We're more than that physical part.

1022
00:42:26,949 --> 00:42:29,949
Those those molecules and those chemical

1023
00:42:29,949 --> 00:42:33,916
elements were flesh and we're spirit.

1024
00:42:34,533 --> 00:42:37,933
What a what a awesome thing that is, right?

1025
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,766
That's the difference between us and animals.

1026
00:42:40,816 --> 00:42:43,816
We live in a world where people put animals in

1027
00:42:43,816 --> 00:42:46,516
in the wrong place, you know?

1028
00:42:46,566 --> 00:42:49,566
And this makes people matter, even Christians, you know?

1029
00:42:49,633 --> 00:42:53,300
So, you know, they love their animals so much.

1030
00:42:53,349 --> 00:42:55,266
Hey, I like my dog, you know?

1031
00:42:55,333 --> 00:42:57,433
I don't love my dog.

1032
00:42:57,933 --> 00:43:00,966
Right, not like I do my kids and

1033
00:43:00,966 --> 00:43:04,266
my wife, but I know people they'd rather other

1034
00:43:04,266 --> 00:43:07,683
people die than they had than they had a

1035
00:43:07,699 --> 00:43:10,816
dog or a cat or, you know, and I'm not saying I'm not for the killing

1036
00:43:10,816 --> 00:43:12,500
of innocent animals.

1037
00:43:12,550 --> 00:43:15,550
I'm not saying that, drown a puppy, but I say we put

1038
00:43:15,550 --> 00:43:17,283
we get things so mixed up, right?

1039
00:43:17,349 --> 00:43:21,066
We're eternal beings and they're not.

1040
00:43:21,316 --> 00:43:23,533
Yeah, and we're crafted.

1041
00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:24,133
crafted.

1042
00:43:24,199 --> 00:43:24,800
He crafted us.

1043
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,916
Like, I think of a potter with clay, right?

1044
00:43:27,966 --> 00:43:31,150
And he's shaping exactly everything

1045
00:43:31,150 --> 00:43:34,633
he's already created, putting it together.

1046
00:43:34,633 --> 00:43:35,050
Yeah.

1047
00:43:35,050 --> 00:43:35,633
I don't know.

1048
00:43:35,633 --> 00:43:37,733
Adam looked like, he might have been 12 feet tall.

1049
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:38,883
He might have been 3 feet tall.

1050
00:43:38,933 --> 00:43:39,533
I don't know.

1051
00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:41,699
But he was what God wanted.

1052
00:43:41,816 --> 00:43:43,683
He was exactly what God wanted.

1053
00:43:43,733 --> 00:43:45,300
And I remember it's who is it?

1054
00:43:45,349 --> 00:43:49,066
I think it was C.S. Lewis that said, we're not bodies with a soul.

1055
00:43:49,133 --> 00:43:50,216
We're souls with a body.

1056
00:43:50,266 --> 00:43:51,166
Yeah, exactly.

1057
00:43:51,233 --> 00:43:54,116
He put that eternity into us when he breathed life into Adam.

1058
00:43:54,166 --> 00:43:58,000
Yeah, it's like the case that this is the casing for what's real.

1059
00:43:58,066 --> 00:44:00,650
What's Dirt suit?

1060
00:44:00,716 --> 00:44:01,250
Yeah, yeah.

1061
00:44:01,316 --> 00:44:02,033
absolutely.

1062
00:44:02,099 --> 00:44:05,699
I love an author that he's not a Christian.

1063
00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:09,466
I mean, he's a happens to be a Christian, but he's not a Christian author, if that makes any sense.

1064
00:44:09,533 --> 00:44:12,416
He doesn't write Christian books, but he was in one of his books.

1065
00:44:12,466 --> 00:44:16,250
He made the statement one time where somebody asked the question, you know, all this stuff's been going on.

1066
00:44:16,316 --> 00:44:19,133
You never answered the question, you know, is a soul real?

1067
00:44:19,199 --> 00:44:22,199
And he happened to be talking in an angel and an

1068
00:44:22,199 --> 00:44:24,483
angel just looked at him and went, you are a soul.

1069
00:44:24,533 --> 00:44:25,916
You have a body.

1070
00:44:25,966 --> 00:44:27,766
You've got it backwards there, buddy.

1071
00:44:27,833 --> 00:44:30,599
And I always love that statement.

1072
00:44:30,650 --> 00:44:33,650
We are a soul that God breathed

1073
00:44:33,650 --> 00:44:35,150
into a body.

1074
00:44:35,216 --> 00:44:38,099
I believe that I don't believe he'd breathed the soul into him.

1075
00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:38,983
I believe he became one.

1076
00:44:39,050 --> 00:44:40,916
Yeah, well, that's what it said.

1077
00:44:40,966 --> 00:44:41,500
Yeah.

1078
00:44:41,566 --> 00:44:41,866
Yeah.

1079
00:44:41,866 --> 00:44:42,650
Game assault.

1080
00:44:42,716 --> 00:44:43,550
Yeah, isn't that awesome?

1081
00:44:43,616 --> 00:44:46,800
I mean, he gave us life, which is physical and

1082
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,733
psychological, but then he gave us life, which is spiritual.

1083
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:50,400
Right.

1084
00:44:50,449 --> 00:44:52,916
And that's our, that's what we maintained, right?

1085
00:44:52,966 --> 00:44:55,783
That's what maintains us is our spiritual life.

1086
00:44:55,916 --> 00:44:58,916
Yeah, without without the breath without God's breath of life into

1087
00:44:58,916 --> 00:45:01,133
man, we would have just been a figure in the dirt.

1088
00:45:01,199 --> 00:45:02,699
And that's incredible.

1089
00:45:02,750 --> 00:45:06,116
And again, going back to the animals, he

1090
00:45:06,116 --> 00:45:07,800
made them come forth out of the ocean.

1091
00:45:07,849 --> 00:45:10,066
He made them come forth out of the ground.

1092
00:45:10,199 --> 00:45:12,366
He made them, they just kind of appeared.

1093
00:45:12,416 --> 00:45:15,833
He spoke them into existence, but he didn't speak, man, into he

1094
00:45:15,833 --> 00:45:18,349
reached down with his hands and warmed us.

1095
00:45:18,416 --> 00:45:19,550
I don't know why it reminds me.

1096
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:19,983
It's so beautiful

1097
00:45:20,150 --> 00:45:21,416
Jesus healing the blind man.

1098
00:45:21,466 --> 00:45:23,383
It reaches down and gets some dirt.

1099
00:45:23,449 --> 00:45:24,050
He does.

1100
00:45:24,050 --> 00:45:25,316
He spits on it and makes mud.

1101
00:45:25,366 --> 00:45:27,283
Hey, you reckon that might have been intentional?

1102
00:45:27,349 --> 00:45:27,583
Yeah.

1103
00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:29,283
Oh, I know it was.

1104
00:45:29,333 --> 00:45:29,933
I know it was.

1105
00:45:30,050 --> 00:45:30,233
Yeah.

1106
00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:33,066
He's like, here, I can fix this with what you're made of.

1107
00:45:33,466 --> 00:45:35,800
I mean, gosh, this...

1108
00:45:35,816 --> 00:45:38,883
Well, the same hands that formed that formed him to begin with fixed him.

1109
00:45:38,933 --> 00:45:42,900
He brought us into a marvelous relationship with the creator.

1110
00:45:42,949 --> 00:45:46,316
And this is what separates us from all other creatures, like I just said,

1111
00:45:46,316 --> 00:45:50,333
you know, but God gave man the capacity for God.

1112
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:51,416
Yes.

1113
00:45:51,466 --> 00:45:52,250
Think about that.

1114
00:45:52,316 --> 00:45:54,483
He gave us the capacity for God.

1115
00:45:54,533 --> 00:45:57,766
He said, he said, I'm going to give you the capacity

1116
00:45:57,766 --> 00:46:00,233
to have me live inside of you.

1117
00:46:00,533 --> 00:46:02,699
That's amazing, isn't it?

1118
00:46:02,750 --> 00:46:03,416
That's amazing.

1119
00:46:03,466 --> 00:46:07,366
And something else I just thought of is he

1120
00:46:07,366 --> 00:46:09,400
made, he made man and his image.

1121
00:46:09,466 --> 00:46:11,333
And that means, you know, the soul.

1122
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,633
That means eternal, eternal, uh, soul,

1123
00:46:14,633 --> 00:46:16,849
eternal uh, spirit, but uh, uh,

1124
00:46:16,983 --> 00:46:20,033
I believe it was physically the same too, because it reminds me of

1125
00:46:20,033 --> 00:46:23,933
this story I heard, and I've told it before, and I always make a train wreck of it.

1126
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,050
of this old farmer, uh, a 100

1127
00:46:27,050 --> 00:46:29,516
years ago, what, whatever it is, a snowstorm coming.

1128
00:46:29,566 --> 00:46:32,633
And he's looking out and he's getting his warm house and he's

1129
00:46:32,633 --> 00:46:35,816
looking out the window and it's getting dark and he sees these little birds

1130
00:46:35,816 --> 00:46:38,816
coming up to his doorstep and he thinks,

1131
00:46:38,816 --> 00:46:42,900
man, if I could just get those birds into my barn, they'd be safe.

1132
00:46:43,583 --> 00:46:46,733
And so he starts, he leaves a bread

1133
00:46:46,733 --> 00:46:50,566
trail out to the barn, but they're scared of him and they won't come near him or anything.

1134
00:46:51,383 --> 00:46:54,650
And he goes on, does several different

1135
00:46:54,650 --> 00:46:57,650
things, and he thinks he thinks to himself, if I

1136
00:46:57,650 --> 00:46:58,783
could just become one of them.

1137
00:46:58,916 --> 00:47:00,833
They wouldn't be scared of me.

1138
00:47:00,900 --> 00:47:01,433
Yeah.

1139
00:47:01,433 --> 00:47:04,500
And I think, I think that's part, that's one of the

1140
00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:08,333
reasons I think is that, that Adam looked a lot like Jesus physically.

1141
00:47:08,333 --> 00:47:09,050
Right.

1142
00:47:09,050 --> 00:47:12,050
Because he wouldn't be scared of him if he saw him and

1143
00:47:12,050 --> 00:47:14,216
hung out with him in the garden, which he ends up doing.

1144
00:47:14,216 --> 00:47:15,416
Like, you're like me.

1145
00:47:15,466 --> 00:47:16,066
Yeah.

1146
00:47:16,133 --> 00:47:16,966
We look alike.

1147
00:47:17,033 --> 00:47:20,449
And it's not some just crazy wild looking thing.

1148
00:47:22,583 --> 00:47:24,300
And the crazy wild looking things exist.

1149
00:47:24,599 --> 00:47:26,400
You know, they're there.

1150
00:47:26,449 --> 00:47:30,116
You read the description of some of the angels, and those are some wild descriptions

1151
00:47:30,116 --> 00:47:32,216
when we get over into other parts of it.

1152
00:47:32,266 --> 00:47:32,750
Yeah.

1153
00:47:32,816 --> 00:47:35,933
Well, their eyes and wings all over the

1154
00:47:35,933 --> 00:47:39,650
place and mouths poking out of everything and it's like, what in the world?

1155
00:47:39,716 --> 00:47:42,833
Yes, but one of the things I was going to say, though, is every

1156
00:47:42,833 --> 00:47:46,133
description that we have of an

1157
00:47:46,133 --> 00:47:50,449
angel or Jesus in the scripture is man-like.

1158
00:47:51,349 --> 00:47:55,066
Like the Son of Man, like, you know, and

1159
00:47:55,066 --> 00:47:57,349
every description that we have.

1160
00:47:57,599 --> 00:48:00,833
Okay, when we were in the revelation

1161
00:48:00,833 --> 00:48:03,900
thing, we talked about, we talked about aliens

1162
00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:07,016
and, you know, all these alien sightings and

1163
00:48:07,016 --> 00:48:10,916
and I think we're all in agreeance that those are demonic, right?

1164
00:48:10,966 --> 00:48:12,466
Those are demonic creatures.

1165
00:48:12,533 --> 00:48:13,666
Those are demons.

1166
00:48:13,733 --> 00:48:16,550
Those are manifestations of evil.

1167
00:48:16,616 --> 00:48:20,099
And here's the thing, guys.

1168
00:48:20,150 --> 00:48:23,566
There's never a time where

1169
00:48:23,566 --> 00:48:27,533
an angel or the presence of God has

1170
00:48:27,533 --> 00:48:32,633
ever looked like a snake or some

1171
00:48:32,633 --> 00:48:36,300
kind of weird demonic, monstrous creature.

1172
00:48:36,416 --> 00:48:37,733
I mean...

1173
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,150
The closest we get is when, uh, was

1174
00:48:41,150 --> 00:48:44,150
it Elijah or Elisha, that looks up and he see, it talks about him seeing

1175
00:48:44,150 --> 00:48:45,583
the wheel and all that.

1176
00:48:45,650 --> 00:48:48,766
Like, he describes some kind of scary sounding,

1177
00:48:48,766 --> 00:48:52,000
but even then, there's in front of that.

1178
00:48:52,066 --> 00:48:52,433
Exactly.

1179
00:48:52,500 --> 00:48:55,566
in front of it and away from it and separate

1180
00:48:55,566 --> 00:48:58,666
from that, you have it's under control of something that looks very manlike.

1181
00:48:58,733 --> 00:49:00,416
And that is that is Jesus.

1182
00:49:00,466 --> 00:49:01,366
That is the son of man.

1183
00:49:01,433 --> 00:49:05,099
He talks about the seraphims and he talks about the, you

1184
00:49:05,099 --> 00:49:07,133
know, those were those were separate creatures.

1185
00:49:07,250 --> 00:49:07,916
Right, right.

1186
00:49:07,966 --> 00:49:08,633
That what I'm saying.

1187
00:49:08,699 --> 00:49:13,133
They're very separate and they're clearly separate, but that's the closest we get.

1188
00:49:13,199 --> 00:49:15,300
It's not like you you don't get stuff.

1189
00:49:15,416 --> 00:49:16,316
Right.

1190
00:49:16,316 --> 00:49:16,550
Right.

1191
00:49:16,616 --> 00:49:20,150
Yeah, they were more majestic than they were like a

1192
00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:21,766
scaly...

1193
00:49:21,833 --> 00:49:23,150
I mean, so you think...

1194
00:49:23,216 --> 00:49:24,483
It's not a monstrous look.

1195
00:49:24,533 --> 00:49:26,150
It's more of a, oh, wow, that's incredible.

1196
00:49:26,216 --> 00:49:28,983
But when people when people say these aliens and stuff.

1197
00:49:29,033 --> 00:49:29,449
It's always scary

1198
00:49:29,633 --> 00:49:31,066
It's always it's always scary.

1199
00:49:31,133 --> 00:49:35,150
It's always a almost a lizard-like creature, you know?

1200
00:49:36,533 --> 00:49:40,550
Gosh, what was the back in the in the 80s,

1201
00:49:40,550 --> 00:49:41,983
what was the, was it V?

1202
00:49:42,050 --> 00:49:46,366
Was that the was that the show that used to come on about all these aliens?

1203
00:49:46,500 --> 00:49:47,333
What was it called?

1204
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,199
V?

1205
00:49:49,250 --> 00:49:51,050
Oh, when they come to earth trying to take it over?

1206
00:49:51,166 --> 00:49:53,199
Yeah, it was in the late 80s.

1207
00:49:53,266 --> 00:49:55,066
Yeah, one of them was over that one.

1208
00:49:55,199 --> 00:49:55,616
There were several.

1209
00:49:55,666 --> 00:49:56,983
Yeah, that was one of them.

1210
00:49:57,050 --> 00:49:59,816
But they were all like lizard lot Creek.

1211
00:49:59,866 --> 00:50:02,983
You know, they'd have tongues, like lizards and stuff, you know, when they when they

1212
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,133
would show themselves.

1213
00:50:04,250 --> 00:50:08,516
And but that's not that's not how God created.

1214
00:50:08,566 --> 00:50:13,083
Well, and the way I've always looked at it is,

1215
00:50:13,083 --> 00:50:16,500
you have the handful of times we see the angelic

1216
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:19,500
beings that are that are so different, it always

1217
00:50:19,500 --> 00:50:23,333
reads to me more like the person's looking up and going, I can't describe that.

1218
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,116
And yet nobody ever has any problem describing these mnemonic things.

1219
00:50:27,166 --> 00:50:30,466
It is, it always comes with clear descriptions,

1220
00:50:30,466 --> 00:50:32,750
whereas all these other things when they're as they're making them.

1221
00:50:32,816 --> 00:50:35,583
It more like somebody trying to describe something that is indescribable.

1222
00:50:35,633 --> 00:50:36,833
And I think about that.

1223
00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:41,333
And I think, okay, that's God going, I've made something here just to show I can.

1224
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,199
and remind you who I am.

1225
00:50:43,250 --> 00:50:46,666
And that's, you know, whereas whereas the demonic

1226
00:50:46,666 --> 00:50:50,083
things and the aliens and the stuff like that, when you read those descriptions,

1227
00:50:50,099 --> 00:50:53,933
it comes across very clearly is something that is designed to instill fear.

1228
00:50:54,050 --> 00:50:57,533
Nothing God does is designed to instill fear.

1229
00:50:57,599 --> 00:50:58,316
People fear them.

1230
00:50:58,366 --> 00:51:01,366
People rightfully fall down in front of the angels

1231
00:51:01,366 --> 00:51:04,366
like dead men because it's absolutely terrifying

1232
00:51:04,366 --> 00:51:06,650
to see the glory of God show up, you know?

1233
00:51:07,916 --> 00:51:09,900
Something I was called.

1234
00:51:09,900 --> 00:51:11,333
Dennis got something.

1235
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:11,816
This is awesome.

1236
00:51:11,866 --> 00:51:12,650
This is awesome.

1237
00:51:12,716 --> 00:51:16,016
You know, Jesus forms him out of the dust, the ground, breeze,

1238
00:51:16,016 --> 00:51:17,150
life into his nostrils.

1239
00:51:17,266 --> 00:51:18,099
Yes, right.

1240
00:51:18,166 --> 00:51:18,533
Right.

1241
00:51:18,599 --> 00:51:19,683
He did it twice.

1242
00:51:19,733 --> 00:51:20,816
He did it twice.

1243
00:51:20,866 --> 00:51:22,783
And John, John, chapter 20.

1244
00:51:23,033 --> 00:51:26,150
He appears in this locked room with the disciples and he says,

1245
00:51:26,150 --> 00:51:27,833
so Jesus said to them again.

1246
00:51:28,633 --> 00:51:29,699
peace be with you.

1247
00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:32,516
As the father sent me, I also sent you.

1248
00:51:32,566 --> 00:51:35,633
And when he had said this, he breathed on them

1249
00:51:35,633 --> 00:51:37,800
and said to them, receive the Holy Spirit.

1250
00:51:39,533 --> 00:51:41,033
With life into him.

1251
00:51:42,633 --> 00:51:45,650
let's go back to the word

1252
00:51:45,650 --> 00:51:46,916
Yahweh, right?

1253
00:51:46,966 --> 00:51:48,650
We've talked about that before.

1254
00:51:48,716 --> 00:51:49,199
What is it?

1255
00:51:49,199 --> 00:51:51,416
Like, it's like breathing in, breathing up.

1256
00:51:52,483 --> 00:51:52,966
Yeah.

1257
00:51:53,033 --> 00:51:56,099
That breath, that breath of God, that breath of life.

1258
00:51:56,150 --> 00:51:56,516
Yeah.

1259
00:51:57,183 --> 00:51:58,066
That's beautiful, man.

1260
00:51:59,133 --> 00:51:59,750
That's awesome

1261
00:51:59,933 --> 00:52:01,066
That's beautiful, dude.

1262
00:52:01,133 --> 00:52:01,800
Man.

1263
00:52:05,883 --> 00:52:09,166
Well, and that's such an amazing thing because like you say, there he is.

1264
00:52:09,233 --> 00:52:10,016
He is sending them out

1265
00:52:10,199 --> 00:52:13,733
And he is doing that to remind them.

1266
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,766
And he's saying, I'm providing the Holy Spirit to you and watch this, boys.

1267
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,000
I mean, that's basically what he does to them because it's not far after

1268
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,183
that before they have the day of Pentecost,

1269
00:52:24,183 --> 00:52:28,183
where it descends like a mighty rushing wind and really catches them on fire.

1270
00:52:28,250 --> 00:52:29,333
And when we

1271
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,199
get saved, he's breathing on us again.

1272
00:52:31,250 --> 00:52:32,083
Exactly.

1273
00:52:32,099 --> 00:52:32,766
Yeah.

1274
00:52:32,816 --> 00:52:34,133
breathing life to us.

1275
00:52:34,199 --> 00:52:34,916
Amen.

1276
00:52:34,966 --> 00:52:36,233
And if you have any doubts.

1277
00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:39,833
Any doubts that this is Jesus that created Adam here, Colossians

1278
00:52:39,833 --> 00:52:42,833
one, for by him, all things were created, both in the heavens and

1279
00:52:42,833 --> 00:52:45,833
on earth, visible and invisible, or the thrones or dominions or

1280
00:52:45,833 --> 00:52:49,199
rulers or authorities, all things have been created through him and for him.

1281
00:52:49,250 --> 00:52:50,566
Yeah, amen.

1282
00:52:50,633 --> 00:52:51,233
Amen.

1283
00:52:51,983 --> 00:52:52,883
Amen.

1284
00:52:53,233 --> 00:52:53,750
Yes.

1285
00:52:54,183 --> 00:52:57,650
And the coming of Jesus as

1286
00:52:57,650 --> 00:53:00,949
man was to fix what Adam messed up.

1287
00:53:01,016 --> 00:53:04,016
That's why 1st Corinthians, I think 15

1288
00:53:04,016 --> 00:53:07,500
talks about him being the 2nd Adam, right?

1289
00:53:07,550 --> 00:53:08,983
The 1st atom messed it up.

1290
00:53:09,050 --> 00:53:10,966
The 2nd atom fixed it on, right?

1291
00:53:11,033 --> 00:53:13,849
It doesn't mean that Jesus came after Adam, right?

1292
00:53:13,916 --> 00:53:14,933
But he came to earth.

1293
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,050
after Adam as a form of a man and he

1294
00:53:18,050 --> 00:53:19,483
fixed what Adam messed up.

1295
00:53:19,550 --> 00:53:22,616
He put everything back together and made it right and he breathed the breath

1296
00:53:22,616 --> 00:53:24,416
of life into us once again.

1297
00:53:24,466 --> 00:53:27,533
The Holy Spirit came on Pentecost and that

1298
00:53:27,533 --> 00:53:30,599
was like, hmm, Jesus saying, here you go.

1299
00:53:30,650 --> 00:53:31,250
I got this.

1300
00:53:31,316 --> 00:53:34,500
And again, I go back to that C.S. Lewis description

1301
00:53:34,500 --> 00:53:37,616
when he talks about in the last book

1302
00:53:37,616 --> 00:53:40,849
of the Chronicles and Narnia when he says, you know, they're talking

1303
00:53:40,849 --> 00:53:43,849
about this little stable and they go into it and they're like, one

1304
00:53:43,849 --> 00:53:47,150
of the people says, you know, I seem to remember there being a story back home about

1305
00:53:47,150 --> 00:53:50,216
a little stable one time containing

1306
00:53:50,216 --> 00:53:51,533
something bigger than the whole world.

1307
00:53:51,766 --> 00:53:53,933
And I mean, that's what it is.

1308
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,599
You've got the being that created the universe and the universe exists

1309
00:53:57,599 --> 00:54:00,599
within him in a manger.

1310
00:54:00,650 --> 00:54:02,633
as a baby?

1311
00:54:02,699 --> 00:54:03,716
Yeah.

1312
00:54:04,883 --> 00:54:07,916
Goodness, he shrunk himself down to

1313
00:54:07,916 --> 00:54:09,416
be so small.

1314
00:54:09,466 --> 00:54:12,533
So that's so cool that he uses these opposites

1315
00:54:12,533 --> 00:54:13,666
all over the place like that.

1316
00:54:13,733 --> 00:54:16,066
You know, it's like the crater's a little tiny baby.

1317
00:54:16,133 --> 00:54:17,216
Yeah, helpless.

1318
00:54:17,266 --> 00:54:18,099
completely.

1319
00:54:18,166 --> 00:54:20,033
And the lambs are shepherd.

1320
00:54:20,150 --> 00:54:20,516
Yeah.

1321
00:54:20,516 --> 00:54:21,050
Yeah.

1322
00:54:21,116 --> 00:54:22,133
What?

1323
00:54:22,133 --> 00:54:22,666
That's weird.

1324
00:54:22,733 --> 00:54:24,900
You want to be white as snow?

1325
00:54:24,949 --> 00:54:25,550
Get washed in the blood.

1326
00:54:25,616 --> 00:54:26,333
That's right.

1327
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:26,933
Yeah, yeah.

1328
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,099
They ran from the lamb.

1329
00:54:29,150 --> 00:54:30,166
That was right.

1330
00:54:30,233 --> 00:54:32,449
They ran from the lamb in Revelation.

1331
00:54:32,516 --> 00:54:36,833
I mean, but, you know, Isaiah,

1332
00:54:36,833 --> 00:54:40,199
which he was the one who's seen the seraphims and,

1333
00:54:40,199 --> 00:54:43,316
you know, and but he talks about the presence

1334
00:54:43,316 --> 00:54:45,833
of God and it fills the temple.

1335
00:54:47,333 --> 00:54:48,233
train of his road.

1336
00:54:48,233 --> 00:54:50,566
Just a train of his road.

1337
00:54:51,050 --> 00:54:53,516
filled the whole temple.

1338
00:54:53,633 --> 00:54:56,866
But God lives inside us.

1339
00:54:56,933 --> 00:54:57,466
Yeah.

1340
00:54:58,033 --> 00:54:59,333
He's in our heart.

1341
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,199
Does the train of his robe fill my temple?

1342
00:55:01,250 --> 00:55:01,783
Yeah.

1343
00:55:01,849 --> 00:55:02,266
Yeah.

1344
00:55:02,333 --> 00:55:03,116
Yeah.

1345
00:55:03,166 --> 00:55:05,333
Do he feel his presence, man?

1346
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,633
It should the Holy Spirit, the

1347
00:55:08,633 --> 00:55:11,816
presence of God in the train of the temple in Isaiah.

1348
00:55:13,383 --> 00:55:15,000
Isaiah couldn't do anything.

1349
00:55:15,050 --> 00:55:16,016
He couldn't speak.

1350
00:55:16,250 --> 00:55:19,550
It was like, it was like his lips

1351
00:55:19,550 --> 00:55:20,683
were burnt, right?

1352
00:55:20,750 --> 00:55:24,233
He describes it like his lips are unclean.

1353
00:55:24,300 --> 00:55:26,216
It had to cleanse his lips.

1354
00:55:26,266 --> 00:55:27,050
Clean lips.

1355
00:55:27,116 --> 00:55:27,716
Yes.

1356
00:55:27,766 --> 00:55:30,833
And so, yeah, does the Holy

1357
00:55:30,833 --> 00:55:32,516
Spirit do that to you, right?

1358
00:55:32,566 --> 00:55:36,050
Has the Holy Spirit cleans you from the inside out, cleansed your lips?

1359
00:55:36,116 --> 00:55:37,616
Has it changed the way you think?

1360
00:55:37,666 --> 00:55:38,983
Has it changed the way you speak?

1361
00:55:39,533 --> 00:55:42,766
Are you still in awe of the Holy Spirit, right?

1362
00:55:42,833 --> 00:55:46,133
I mean, because sometimes, man, we can have some services like

1363
00:55:46,133 --> 00:55:49,133
we did Sunday and we're in awe while

1364
00:55:49,133 --> 00:55:51,416
we're here, but are we in awe when we walk out of here?

1365
00:55:51,466 --> 00:55:52,066
Amen.

1366
00:55:52,066 --> 00:55:53,683
You know, do we keep that?

1367
00:55:53,750 --> 00:55:56,866
I mean, it should be a state of

1368
00:55:56,866 --> 00:55:59,449
our life, right?

1369
00:55:59,516 --> 00:56:00,833
And it's a commandment, right?

1370
00:56:00,900 --> 00:56:02,400
It's be filled with the spirit.

1371
00:56:02,516 --> 00:56:03,000
That's right.

1372
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,133
Be filled with spirit.

1373
00:56:04,199 --> 00:56:07,433
And that's up to us to yield and get out of the way and just let him do his thing.

1374
00:56:07,550 --> 00:56:11,033
Because like you said in your post the other day.

1375
00:56:11,099 --> 00:56:12,183
God don't just show up.

1376
00:56:12,233 --> 00:56:12,650
Yeah.

1377
00:56:12,650 --> 00:56:13,483
Ain't showing up.

1378
00:56:13,550 --> 00:56:14,566
He's in us.

1379
00:56:14,633 --> 00:56:16,366
We're the church, right?

1380
00:56:16,433 --> 00:56:17,933
We're the temple of the Holy Spirit.

1381
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:18,900
And when we show up.

1382
00:56:18,949 --> 00:56:19,733
right.

1383
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,016
And when we let go, yes, yes.

1384
00:56:22,066 --> 00:56:22,666
Amen.

1385
00:56:22,733 --> 00:56:26,933
We bring him with us wherever we go and he's always moving.

1386
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,083
He's always ready.

1387
00:56:28,133 --> 00:56:30,650
It's just, what are you gonna do?

1388
00:56:30,716 --> 00:56:32,033
What am I going to do?

1389
00:56:32,099 --> 00:56:33,483
Am I going to get out of the way?

1390
00:56:33,533 --> 00:56:36,533
Am I going to let Jesus move today or I'm going to let this human

1391
00:56:36,533 --> 00:56:38,033
side of me, right?

1392
00:56:38,099 --> 00:56:39,300
I mean, come.

1393
00:56:39,833 --> 00:56:40,800
Come on.

1394
00:56:40,849 --> 00:56:41,516
Come on.

1395
00:56:45,349 --> 00:56:46,966
For anybody that doesn't get that.

1396
00:56:48,183 --> 00:56:50,150
You've been missing out on some good church services.

1397
00:56:51,083 --> 00:56:53,866
Come on down to Mountain Dew Baptist Church, Sylvania, Alabama.

1398
00:56:54,349 --> 00:56:58,483
I don't hack, but hey, it's okay if I did.

1399
00:57:03,333 --> 00:57:04,849
I know some good preachers that do.

1400
00:57:04,916 --> 00:57:05,633
That's right

1401
00:57:05,816 --> 00:57:06,900
That's right.

1402
00:57:06,949 --> 00:57:07,966
All right.

1403
00:57:08,033 --> 00:57:08,816
D verse eight?

1404
00:57:08,866 --> 00:57:09,466
Yes, sir.

1405
00:57:09,533 --> 00:57:10,016
hit it.

1406
00:57:10,066 --> 00:57:13,599
The Lord God planted a garden toward the east in Eden.

1407
00:57:13,666 --> 00:57:15,650
And there he placed the man whom he had formed.

1408
00:57:17,433 --> 00:57:18,416
A special garden.

1409
00:57:18,466 --> 00:57:21,533
Imagine what a garden looked like that the Lord planted.

1410
00:57:21,533 --> 00:57:23,449
Buddy, my garden didn't do too good this year.

1411
00:57:23,516 --> 00:57:26,566
I had to plant my oakra twice, green beans twice,

1412
00:57:26,566 --> 00:57:29,266
and I got, you know, 6 stalks of okra.

1413
00:57:29,333 --> 00:57:29,866
That's about all.

1414
00:57:29,933 --> 00:57:31,500
Yeah, mine didn't do great either.

1415
00:57:31,550 --> 00:57:33,883
I got my squash was kind of pitiful.

1416
00:57:33,949 --> 00:57:35,449
I got some out of it.

1417
00:57:35,516 --> 00:57:37,133
My cucumbers were really good.

1418
00:57:37,199 --> 00:57:40,250
My tomatoes nearly died, but then

1419
00:57:40,250 --> 00:57:42,050
they come back to life all of a sudden.

1420
00:57:42,116 --> 00:57:44,516
I kind of doctored them up a little bit.

1421
00:57:44,699 --> 00:57:48,183
Yeah, but now my squashing, my cucumbers are done.

1422
00:57:48,233 --> 00:57:50,099
Like they stop producing now.

1423
00:57:50,150 --> 00:57:53,216
But peppers, man, my hot peppers are great.

1424
00:57:53,266 --> 00:57:56,633
But yeah, we've got a, man, it's,

1425
00:57:56,633 --> 00:58:00,716
it's, we don't know exactly where this garden was exactly, right?

1426
00:58:01,066 --> 00:58:04,066
Probably somewhere between the Tigris,

1427
00:58:04,066 --> 00:58:07,483
Euphrates River, you know, somewhere in there in that valley.

1428
00:58:07,550 --> 00:58:08,449
He takes the rivers later, right?

1429
00:58:08,516 --> 00:58:09,233
He talks about that.

1430
00:58:09,300 --> 00:58:12,716
So we know that, yeah, some of those rivers, they don't exist

1431
00:58:12,716 --> 00:58:15,716
with the same name now, but you can you can go back and study

1432
00:58:15,716 --> 00:58:17,699
where they are and see what they are today.

1433
00:58:17,750 --> 00:58:19,916
I think a couple of them are missing.

1434
00:58:19,966 --> 00:58:20,566
Yeah, yeah.

1435
00:58:20,633 --> 00:58:21,766
Since the flood, yeah.

1436
00:58:21,833 --> 00:58:22,366
Yeah, that's right

1437
00:58:22,550 --> 00:58:26,083
But this name Eden, in Hebrew, it means bliss.

1438
00:58:26,150 --> 00:58:27,116
Delight.

1439
00:58:27,166 --> 00:58:30,583
And then the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, which is Greek.

1440
00:58:30,650 --> 00:58:31,966
It means paradise.

1441
00:58:32,033 --> 00:58:33,116
Yeah, yeah.

1442
00:58:33,633 --> 00:58:35,633
He created paradise for him.

1443
00:58:35,699 --> 00:58:36,416
He did, yeah.

1444
00:58:38,133 --> 00:58:41,633
This part of the world is part of the fertile

1445
00:58:41,633 --> 00:58:44,216
crescent, right, where it still is today.

1446
00:58:44,216 --> 00:58:47,283
And at one time, people inhabiting that

1447
00:58:47,283 --> 00:58:50,800
region, in that area, they

1448
00:58:50,816 --> 00:58:52,733
did not have to plant grain there.

1449
00:58:53,433 --> 00:58:55,250
They simply harvested it.

1450
00:58:55,316 --> 00:58:56,033
Wow.

1451
00:58:56,099 --> 00:58:58,083
They didn't go out and plant grain.

1452
00:58:58,133 --> 00:59:01,550
It was already there for a long, long time because it grew by itself.

1453
00:59:01,616 --> 00:59:02,883
Just showed up every year.

1454
00:59:02,933 --> 00:59:06,000
It showed up every year by itself and they just

1455
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,266
went out and harvested the grain.

1456
00:59:07,316 --> 00:59:09,716
That's probably some of it that God planted.

1457
00:59:09,766 --> 00:59:11,150
Yeah, I mean, it had to be.

1458
00:59:11,216 --> 00:59:12,000
Just kind of hung around.

1459
00:59:12,116 --> 00:59:13,250
It had to have been.

1460
00:59:13,316 --> 00:59:16,849
Yeah, stuff that was left over that didn't get thorns in it.

1461
00:59:16,916 --> 00:59:19,916
But, I mean, it's most likely that this area

1462
00:59:19,916 --> 00:59:23,933
could be the

1463
00:59:23,933 --> 00:59:27,599
very the very center of the earth again, one of these days, you know?

1464
00:59:27,650 --> 00:59:30,833
I mean, when he makes everything new, you

1465
00:59:30,833 --> 00:59:33,716
might fix it right back like it was, you know, or even better this time.

1466
00:59:33,766 --> 00:59:36,349
You know, there's something mysterious about that area anyway.

1467
00:59:36,416 --> 00:59:39,116
you know, that that Satan wants Jerusalem so bad.

1468
00:59:39,166 --> 00:59:42,166
Yeah. always trying to destroy it,

1469
00:59:42,166 --> 00:59:43,483
always trying to conquer it.

1470
00:59:43,550 --> 00:59:44,983
Why Jerusalem?

1471
00:59:45,050 --> 00:59:45,833
Yeah, yeah.

1472
00:59:45,900 --> 00:59:47,583
Something mysterious about that city.

1473
00:59:47,633 --> 00:59:49,066
Yeah, it is.

1474
00:59:49,199 --> 00:59:51,366
And God holds on to it, so that's mine.

1475
00:59:51,416 --> 00:59:51,900
right.

1476
00:59:51,949 --> 00:59:52,316
Right?

1477
00:59:52,366 --> 00:59:52,900
Oh, yeah.

1478
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:54,966
Something.

1479
00:59:55,583 --> 00:59:56,033
Something.

1480
00:59:56,099 --> 00:59:56,699
I don't know.

1481
00:59:56,750 --> 00:59:57,650
spiritual, man.

1482
00:59:57,716 --> 00:59:59,516
Something spiritual going on there.

1483
00:59:59,566 --> 00:59:59,866
Yeah.

1484
00:59:59,933 --> 01:00:01,133
beyond what we know.

1485
01:00:01,616 --> 01:00:04,616
It's one of those things he'll he'll show us.

1486
01:00:05,283 --> 01:00:06,766
He'll be like, oh, by the way, remember that?

1487
01:00:06,833 --> 01:00:07,733
Yeah, right there is why.

1488
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,083
Arthur, a long will.

1489
01:00:10,133 --> 01:00:10,733
That's it.

1490
01:00:14,883 --> 01:00:16,016
Oh my goodness.

1491
01:00:19,133 --> 01:00:20,633
So, verse nine.

1492
01:00:20,699 --> 01:00:21,233
Yeah.

1493
01:00:21,300 --> 01:00:24,366
And out of the ground, made the Lord God to grow every

1494
01:00:24,366 --> 01:00:28,016
tree that is pleasant to the sight of good for

1495
01:00:28,016 --> 01:00:31,433
food, the tree of life, also in the midst of the garden,

1496
01:00:31,433 --> 01:00:34,433
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

1497
01:00:34,733 --> 01:00:38,099
So the trees were pleasant to look at and

1498
01:00:38,099 --> 01:00:39,366
they provided food.

1499
01:00:40,583 --> 01:00:44,033
Well, we don't have a tree of knowledge anymore, right?

1500
01:00:44,099 --> 01:00:47,216
And the tree of life here with us

1501
01:00:47,216 --> 01:00:49,433
today because they were removed.

1502
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:50,466
They were taken out.

1503
01:00:50,516 --> 01:00:51,416
Yeah.

1504
01:00:51,466 --> 01:00:53,449
Yeah, we're going to see that one again though, weren't we?

1505
01:00:53,933 --> 01:00:56,933
In a revelation says real life is still there, but

1506
01:00:56,933 --> 01:00:58,966
there's no true the knowledge of good and evil.

1507
01:00:59,033 --> 01:01:00,533
No, no, there's no.

1508
01:01:00,599 --> 01:01:01,083
That's right.

1509
01:01:01,133 --> 01:01:01,550
Amen.

1510
01:01:01,616 --> 01:01:02,816
Because evil's gone, right?

1511
01:01:02,866 --> 01:01:04,000
Decisions have been made.

1512
01:01:04,066 --> 01:01:04,550
That's right.

1513
01:01:04,616 --> 01:01:05,449
That's right.

1514
01:01:05,883 --> 01:01:06,233
Amen.

1515
01:01:06,300 --> 01:01:07,199
Amen.

1516
01:01:07,250 --> 01:01:10,066
But and we're going to feed people the tree of life, right?

1517
01:01:10,133 --> 01:01:10,733
Isn't that awesome?

1518
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,666
Yeah, the leaves are for the healing of the nation.

1519
01:01:12,716 --> 01:01:13,550
Those healing leaves.

1520
01:01:13,616 --> 01:01:13,983
Yeah.

1521
01:01:15,233 --> 01:01:18,233
You know, don't you sometimes just wish that that tree of

1522
01:01:18,233 --> 01:01:20,216
the knowledge of good and evil had just been a little bit uglier.

1523
01:01:20,266 --> 01:01:20,800
Yeah.

1524
01:01:21,683 --> 01:01:24,000
Maybe a little bit spiky.

1525
01:01:24,050 --> 01:01:27,166
And we're going to find out later, you know, a little more about the

1526
01:01:27,166 --> 01:01:29,750
tree of knowledge of good and evil and tree of life, I guess.

1527
01:01:29,816 --> 01:01:30,233
Yeah.

1528
01:01:30,900 --> 01:01:33,949
I used to wonder why in the world did

1529
01:01:33,949 --> 01:01:35,683
he put those 2 special trees there?

1530
01:01:35,699 --> 01:01:38,033
And it was for what was to come.

1531
01:01:38,099 --> 01:01:41,400
It was, there's a commandment going to be given.

1532
01:01:41,449 --> 01:01:44,983
And they have a choice, whether the

1533
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,400
only way we have to show love to God is by our obedience.

1534
01:01:47,449 --> 01:01:47,866
Yeah.

1535
01:01:47,866 --> 01:01:49,133
Do we trust him?

1536
01:01:49,199 --> 01:01:49,733
That's right.

1537
01:01:49,733 --> 01:01:51,416
To do what he says we should do.

1538
01:01:51,466 --> 01:01:52,183
Amen.

1539
01:01:52,250 --> 01:01:54,166
And Adam and Eve blew that, right?

1540
01:01:54,233 --> 01:01:54,833
Yes, they did.

1541
01:01:54,833 --> 01:01:57,766
That the only way they had to show love to God was those 2 trees.

1542
01:01:57,833 --> 01:01:58,316
That's right.

1543
01:01:59,266 --> 01:01:59,533
Amen.

1544
01:02:02,133 --> 01:02:03,166
All right, 10?

1545
01:02:03,233 --> 01:02:04,666
How far you want to go?

1546
01:02:04,733 --> 01:02:05,216
10, 14?

1547
01:02:05,266 --> 01:02:05,750
14.

1548
01:02:05,750 --> 01:02:06,166
Perfect.

1549
01:02:06,233 --> 01:02:07,250
Yeah, that's exactly what I said.

1550
01:02:07,316 --> 01:02:07,733
Awesome.

1551
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,683
Now a river flowed out of Eden, the water of the garden.

1552
01:02:10,733 --> 01:02:13,500
And from there, it divided and became 4 rivers.

1553
01:02:13,550 --> 01:02:15,883
The name of the 1st is Pishon.

1554
01:02:15,949 --> 01:02:18,466
It flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

1555
01:02:19,033 --> 01:02:20,816
The gold of that land is good.

1556
01:02:21,133 --> 01:02:23,150
The bodellium and the onyx stone are there.

1557
01:02:23,833 --> 01:02:26,099
The name of the 2nd river is Gihon.

1558
01:02:26,216 --> 01:02:28,133
It flows around the whole land of Kush.

1559
01:02:28,250 --> 01:02:30,466
The name of the 3rd river is Tigris.

1560
01:02:30,533 --> 01:02:34,616
It flows east of Assyria, and the 4th river is the Euphrates.

1561
01:02:35,783 --> 01:02:38,933
So out of those 4 rivers, we only have 2 left

1562
01:02:38,933 --> 01:02:40,500
after the flood that we know about.

1563
01:02:40,550 --> 01:02:42,583
And that's the Tigris and the Euphrates.

1564
01:02:42,650 --> 01:02:44,566
And they both show up later.

1565
01:02:44,633 --> 01:02:48,650
Tiger shows up in Daniel, Euphrates shows up all kind of all over the place.

1566
01:02:48,716 --> 01:02:52,433
And that river in Ethiopia ends up being the Nile.

1567
01:02:52,500 --> 01:02:54,116
It would be the Nile today.

1568
01:02:54,166 --> 01:02:57,233
So, yeah, it's just a kind of

1569
01:02:57,233 --> 01:02:58,250
a name change there.

1570
01:02:58,316 --> 01:03:01,383
The hit of Kel is the Tigris River today.

1571
01:03:01,433 --> 01:03:06,000
That was one of the words for it, and that may have been the

1572
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,716
same as the Havitla, I think.

1573
01:03:10,283 --> 01:03:11,699
I have to go back and look at that again.

1574
01:03:11,750 --> 01:03:14,750
And that Euphrates ends up

1575
01:03:14,750 --> 01:03:16,616
being pretty important in Revelation 2, doesn't it?

1576
01:03:16,666 --> 01:03:17,449
Yeah, it does.

1577
01:03:17,516 --> 01:03:20,633
That's one, it'll dry up and allow

1578
01:03:20,633 --> 01:03:23,516
200 million man army to come from the east.

1579
01:03:23,566 --> 01:03:24,349
That's right.

1580
01:03:24,466 --> 01:03:24,699
Yeah.

1581
01:03:25,433 --> 01:03:26,816
Massive.

1582
01:03:26,866 --> 01:03:27,883
Massive.

1583
01:03:28,633 --> 01:03:29,933
And it's drying up now.

1584
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:30,416
It is.

1585
01:03:30,466 --> 01:03:30,833
Yeah.

1586
01:03:31,666 --> 01:03:33,349
Look up.

1587
01:03:33,883 --> 01:03:34,366
Look up.

1588
01:03:34,433 --> 01:03:36,233
And you mentioned the Nile.

1589
01:03:36,300 --> 01:03:37,916
One of the interesting things with a Nile.

1590
01:03:37,966 --> 01:03:41,199
Uh, if you've ever studied, uh, the the

1591
01:03:41,216 --> 01:03:44,583
terrain over there, it's moved several times.

1592
01:03:44,633 --> 01:03:46,016
Yeah, they do, yeah.

1593
01:03:46,066 --> 01:03:49,133
The Nile River has literally just changed where it

1594
01:03:49,133 --> 01:03:50,933
flows multiple times throughout history.

1595
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,166
And this is like, oh, well, based on, you know,

1596
01:03:54,166 --> 01:03:55,550
rock layers and all that.

1597
01:03:55,616 --> 01:03:56,283
No, no, no, no.

1598
01:03:56,333 --> 01:03:58,199
Like, we have recordings of it was here.

1599
01:03:58,250 --> 01:04:00,766
And then 100 years later, it's in a different spot.

1600
01:04:00,833 --> 01:04:03,833
And I mean, that, I honestly think one

1601
01:04:03,833 --> 01:04:06,900
of the reasons those, and it's a unique feature of rivers

1602
01:04:06,900 --> 01:04:10,016
over there, the movement is not this subtle thing

1603
01:04:10,016 --> 01:04:13,800
over centuries, it's like,

1604
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,733
yeah, a flood will happen, and then all of a sudden, the course of the river changed.

1605
01:04:16,733 --> 01:04:19,849
And I think God does that when those rivers are there, too confuse

1606
01:04:19,849 --> 01:04:21,349
us as to where, where this was.

1607
01:04:21,416 --> 01:04:22,916
Exactly where we need to go.

1608
01:04:22,966 --> 01:04:23,566
Yeah, I agree.

1609
01:04:23,633 --> 01:04:26,816
And I want to mention again too.

1610
01:04:26,866 --> 01:04:30,650
I think we mentioned this maybe a week or 2 ago or whatever, but it

1611
01:04:30,650 --> 01:04:34,016
says verse 13 said it can pass us the whole land of Ethiopia.

1612
01:04:34,066 --> 01:04:37,483
And again, we talked about some

1613
01:04:37,500 --> 01:04:40,916
of those ancestry studies that you go back to, everything goes

1614
01:04:40,916 --> 01:04:43,733
back to one woman in Ethiopia.

1615
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,066
Is that not crazy?

1616
01:04:45,116 --> 01:04:46,250
I mean, come up.

1617
01:04:46,316 --> 01:04:46,983
Y'all came from there.

1618
01:04:47,033 --> 01:04:50,150
Yeah, I mean, even those that ancestry that

1619
01:04:50,150 --> 01:04:55,133
may not be very godly, but some of it, but man,

1620
01:04:55,133 --> 01:04:57,466
it proves the word of God.

1621
01:04:57,983 --> 01:05:00,416
Jesus had some rotten ancestors too, didn't he?

1622
01:05:00,466 --> 01:05:00,766
He

1623
01:05:01,366 --> 01:05:01,900
Yeah.

1624
01:05:01,966 --> 01:05:05,633
But imagine what, imagine what the Noah's flood did to all this.

1625
01:05:05,699 --> 01:05:06,716
Oh, yeah.

1626
01:05:06,766 --> 01:05:08,199
just totally confused it.

1627
01:05:08,266 --> 01:05:10,000
Where was this stuff?

1628
01:05:10,066 --> 01:05:13,066
It was like, I think the Tigers and Euphrates are still named that

1629
01:05:14,383 --> 01:05:15,949
like Northern Iraq or somewhere?

1630
01:05:16,016 --> 01:05:18,050
It's somewhere over in that region.

1631
01:05:18,050 --> 01:05:22,316
I mean, you know, you keep hearing about, oh, they found the ark.

1632
01:05:22,366 --> 01:05:22,966
They've got it.

1633
01:05:23,033 --> 01:05:26,099
So-and-so, or they found the, uh,

1634
01:05:26,099 --> 01:05:29,150
the ark of the covenant, you know, or they

1635
01:05:29,150 --> 01:05:30,416
found the ark, the boat.

1636
01:05:30,466 --> 01:05:30,949
Yeah.

1637
01:05:31,900 --> 01:05:35,733
And you hear that all the time, but come on, show me a picture.

1638
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:36,216
right?

1639
01:05:36,283 --> 01:05:38,800
If you really know where this stuff's at, then show me a picture.

1640
01:05:38,866 --> 01:05:41,933
I would like for, I mean, not that I wouldn't like for it to be discovered

1641
01:05:41,933 --> 01:05:45,150
so that maybe, you know, there's there could be some...

1642
01:05:45,166 --> 01:05:48,166
I saw a thing where they're doing some pretty heavy research somewhere

1643
01:05:48,166 --> 01:05:51,283
around the mountains of Arat, whether they think they found like

1644
01:05:51,283 --> 01:05:54,516
a ridge that's shaped like a boat and they're doing some LIDAR scans

1645
01:05:54,516 --> 01:05:57,283
and stuff on it and they're finding metal and stuff.

1646
01:05:57,333 --> 01:05:59,849
It fits kind of the dimensions, but nobody really knows.

1647
01:05:59,916 --> 01:06:02,016
Yeah, nobody really knows at least at this point.

1648
01:06:02,083 --> 01:06:02,750
Yeah.

1649
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:03,216
Yeah.

1650
01:06:03,283 --> 01:06:04,966
That'd be awesome if something like that did show up.

1651
01:06:05,016 --> 01:06:05,616
It really would.

1652
01:06:05,683 --> 01:06:07,066
Look, there it is.

1653
01:06:07,183 --> 01:06:07,900
There it is.

1654
01:06:07,966 --> 01:06:09,283
Well, he wasn't lying.

1655
01:06:09,333 --> 01:06:10,900
It's up on top of Mount area.

1656
01:06:11,383 --> 01:06:14,866
Yeah, and still, they'd still be like, oh, it's just a local flood.

1657
01:06:14,916 --> 01:06:15,400
Yeah.

1658
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,016
Local flood.

1659
01:06:17,133 --> 01:06:18,449
It's pretty far up there, boys.

1660
01:06:18,516 --> 01:06:19,183
Yeah.

1661
01:06:20,566 --> 01:06:23,866
Yeah, those mountains are, and if you look at, speaking

1662
01:06:23,866 --> 01:06:25,900
of that, just a little bit of a tangent there.

1663
01:06:25,966 --> 01:06:28,250
man those are huge mountains over in that area.

1664
01:06:28,300 --> 01:06:30,816
This was kind of in the foothills, kind of, you know.

1665
01:06:30,883 --> 01:06:32,800
Well, but I mean, even their foothills.

1666
01:06:32,866 --> 01:06:36,050
Make the mountains here in the U.S. look like tiny.

1667
01:06:36,099 --> 01:06:39,466
I mean, that is insane to me that people see that and

1668
01:06:39,466 --> 01:06:42,466
we keep running into random things over there that really point

1669
01:06:42,466 --> 01:06:43,900
to, hey, there's that.

1670
01:06:43,966 --> 01:06:44,800
Hey, there's that.

1671
01:06:44,866 --> 01:06:48,233
Hey, there's at some point you got to go, huh, how did it all get up so high?

1672
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,933
But I just wonder if he's just keeping us on a wild goose chase.

1673
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:52,300
Could be.

1674
01:06:52,300 --> 01:06:53,500
Okay.

1675
01:06:53,500 --> 01:06:55,000
No, no, yeah, no dick over here.

1676
01:06:55,066 --> 01:06:55,849
No, dig over here.

1677
01:06:55,900 --> 01:06:56,616
No, dig over here.

1678
01:06:56,683 --> 01:06:57,099
Yeah, yeah.

1679
01:06:57,166 --> 01:06:59,633
I'll give you a little bit here, a little bit here.

1680
01:06:59,683 --> 01:07:00,699
Just Vienna Jones on it.

1681
01:07:00,766 --> 01:07:01,300
It does, yeah.

1682
01:07:01,416 --> 01:07:02,250
Oh, yeah, definitely.

1683
01:07:02,316 --> 01:07:03,099
Yep.

1684
01:07:06,449 --> 01:07:07,300
Where do we get to?

1685
01:07:07,416 --> 01:07:08,316
We got 15.

1686
01:07:08,316 --> 01:07:09,583
15?

1687
01:07:09,633 --> 01:07:10,050
Okay.

1688
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,400
And the Lord God took the man and put him

1689
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,883
into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

1690
01:07:19,849 --> 01:07:22,833
Man had dominion, right?

1691
01:07:22,900 --> 01:07:26,683
And all forces of nature responding

1692
01:07:26,683 --> 01:07:27,949
to his becking call.

1693
01:07:29,099 --> 01:07:29,866
Think about that.

1694
01:07:31,150 --> 01:07:31,833
That's crazy.

1695
01:07:33,300 --> 01:07:33,883
Yeah.

1696
01:07:33,933 --> 01:07:37,650
I wonder how much of how much power I had.

1697
01:07:37,716 --> 01:07:41,433
You know, Jesus was able to do some stuff that only God could do, I guess.

1698
01:07:41,500 --> 01:07:43,183
you know, calma storm.

1699
01:07:43,183 --> 01:07:44,916
I guess he didn't have storms.

1700
01:07:44,983 --> 01:07:46,599
Yeah, peace be still.

1701
01:07:46,666 --> 01:07:46,900
Yeah.

1702
01:07:46,966 --> 01:07:47,933
Yeah, I don't know.

1703
01:07:47,983 --> 01:07:48,650
I don't know.

1704
01:07:48,699 --> 01:07:50,800
That's interesting to think about that, right?

1705
01:07:50,866 --> 01:07:54,099
Yeah, I'm sure he

1706
01:07:54,099 --> 01:07:55,599
was much more powerful than we are today.

1707
01:07:55,666 --> 01:07:56,333
Yeah.

1708
01:07:56,750 --> 01:07:59,733
So I don't know what that entails.

1709
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,916
Well, it was just the 2 of them to deal with the with the

1710
01:08:02,916 --> 01:08:06,333
entire garden and

1711
01:08:06,333 --> 01:08:08,016
whatever else was going on on the earth.

1712
01:08:08,083 --> 01:08:11,083
I mean, it kind of, the way that reads, it was kind of

1713
01:08:11,083 --> 01:08:14,199
like, well, okay, this is your main responsibility is right here,

1714
01:08:14,199 --> 01:08:16,233
but I'm making you responsible for all of it.

1715
01:08:17,949 --> 01:08:20,083
And they had to be able to do some pretty impressive things.

1716
01:08:20,133 --> 01:08:20,616
Yeah.

1717
01:08:20,616 --> 01:08:22,183
And I'm kind of like you.

1718
01:08:22,233 --> 01:08:25,050
I kind of wonder if they weren't like just like massive.

1719
01:08:26,316 --> 01:08:28,416
What was outside the guard?

1720
01:08:29,899 --> 01:08:30,516
We don't know.

1721
01:08:30,583 --> 01:08:31,483
They don't know, did we?

1722
01:08:32,500 --> 01:08:36,333
I mean, one would assume that it looks kind of like it

1723
01:08:36,333 --> 01:08:39,866
looked once they, I mean, you know, it kind of looked similar at least.

1724
01:08:40,116 --> 01:08:41,500
I think it looked a lot different.

1725
01:08:41,566 --> 01:08:44,566
You know, you're looking at this Noah's flood stuff and see how the

1726
01:08:44,566 --> 01:08:46,783
plates of the earth moved and created mountain ranges.

1727
01:08:46,833 --> 01:08:50,316
I mean, some of these creation scientist guys think that the Appalachians

1728
01:08:50,316 --> 01:08:51,583
were created from the flood.

1729
01:08:51,633 --> 01:08:52,416
Oh yeah.

1730
01:08:52,483 --> 01:08:55,850
Plates just collide in each other and the Rocky Mountains and these different ones.

1731
01:08:55,899 --> 01:08:57,466
So it might have been a lot flatter.

1732
01:08:57,516 --> 01:08:58,416
It could have been.

1733
01:08:58,483 --> 01:08:59,866
We don't know, though.

1734
01:08:59,916 --> 01:09:00,883
Yeah, we don't.

1735
01:09:00,933 --> 01:09:01,600
No video.

1736
01:09:01,666 --> 01:09:02,383
No.

1737
01:09:02,433 --> 01:09:03,266
Kind of sad.

1738
01:09:04,550 --> 01:09:07,183
Adam did not make a Facebook poster about it.

1739
01:09:08,250 --> 01:09:11,566
It'd been nice for you to taken a little time to learn some artwork.

1740
01:09:11,616 --> 01:09:12,633
Yeah, yeah.

1741
01:09:13,350 --> 01:09:14,866
There's some rock TikTok.

1742
01:09:14,916 --> 01:09:15,333
That's right

1743
01:09:15,516 --> 01:09:17,616
Give us a little rock, rock paintings.

1744
01:09:17,683 --> 01:09:18,350
Rock top.

1745
01:09:18,399 --> 01:09:18,699
Yeah.

1746
01:09:20,399 --> 01:09:21,699
Oh, that's good.

1747
01:09:21,766 --> 01:09:23,800
I don't want to...

1748
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,100
I don't want to run too far because I know folks,

1749
01:09:27,100 --> 01:09:29,916
if they listen over an hour, they might get bored with this.

1750
01:09:29,983 --> 01:09:30,399
don't know.

1751
01:09:30,516 --> 01:09:32,083
30 seconds these days.

1752
01:09:32,133 --> 01:09:32,850
Yeah, yeah.

1753
01:09:32,866 --> 01:09:34,733
We done lost them.

1754
01:09:35,550 --> 01:09:36,166
Oh, God.

1755
01:09:36,216 --> 01:09:36,750
Let's keep going.

1756
01:09:37,500 --> 01:09:40,366
Listen to us in 32nd increments, okay?

1757
01:09:40,416 --> 01:09:40,833
Yeah.

1758
01:09:41,649 --> 01:09:44,500
Yeah, verse 16 would be a great place to pick up again.

1759
01:09:45,033 --> 01:09:45,816
It's good stuff.

1760
01:09:45,883 --> 01:09:46,416
I love it.

1761
01:09:46,483 --> 01:09:48,766
Well, in verse 16, as we come into that.

1762
01:09:48,816 --> 01:09:52,350
That's where we really need to make

1763
01:09:52,366 --> 01:09:55,533
sure that we point out and pay attention to what is said in

1764
01:09:55,533 --> 01:09:58,533
verse 16 and 17 because those 2 statements

1765
01:09:58,533 --> 01:10:00,866
right there are real important a little bit later on.

1766
01:10:00,933 --> 01:10:02,250
Oh boy.

1767
01:10:02,316 --> 01:10:03,583
Yeah, the whole world.

1768
01:10:03,633 --> 01:10:04,466
hinges on it.

1769
01:10:04,666 --> 01:10:05,800
The whole world hinges on it.

1770
01:10:05,866 --> 01:10:08,866
And more importantly, they don't get quoted the same.

1771
01:10:08,983 --> 01:10:10,783
The 2nd time they're said.

1772
01:10:10,833 --> 01:10:11,500
That's right.

1773
01:10:11,750 --> 01:10:13,966
The word of God gets added to it.

1774
01:10:14,016 --> 01:10:15,216
Yeah, it gets added too a little bit.

1775
01:10:15,283 --> 01:10:17,750
So that's something to make note of.

1776
01:10:17,866 --> 01:10:21,399
And it's something to make note of, to

1777
01:10:21,399 --> 01:10:24,399
remind, and I honestly think that God included this

1778
01:10:24,399 --> 01:10:27,883
part so specifically because it's just a reminder of,

1779
01:10:27,883 --> 01:10:30,050
hey, when I say something, I mean it.

1780
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:32,800
Don't don't think you get to add to what I say.

1781
01:10:33,166 --> 01:10:36,100
I said it the way I said it for a read.

1782
01:10:36,166 --> 01:10:36,766
I said what I said.

1783
01:10:36,816 --> 01:10:41,199
Well, I mean, that's what kind of how the Pharisees lived, right?

1784
01:10:41,266 --> 01:10:44,333
They had the oral traditions too, that built these man-made

1785
01:10:44,333 --> 01:10:47,500
rules on top of God's laws so that didn't break God's law.

1786
01:10:47,566 --> 01:10:49,850
just ended up like an onion.

1787
01:10:49,899 --> 01:10:51,283
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

1788
01:10:51,333 --> 01:10:51,933
Absolutely.

1789
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,516
Boy, I mean, we got a lot of that today, don't we?

1790
01:10:54,633 --> 01:10:54,933
Yeah.

1791
01:10:55,066 --> 01:10:55,433
Oh, yeah.

1792
01:10:55,483 --> 01:10:56,266
Yeah.

1793
01:10:56,316 --> 01:10:59,616
I mean, a lot of tradition that we have, a

1794
01:10:59,616 --> 01:11:04,000
lot of things that we, uh, uh, that we,

1795
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,000
we look past God's law when we add to it and say,

1796
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,766
oh yeah, but this, this, this, and this too, you know.

1797
01:11:09,816 --> 01:11:11,916
Don't do this, don't do that.

1798
01:11:11,983 --> 01:11:13,666
Can't do this, can't do that.

1799
01:11:13,716 --> 01:11:14,433
You got to be here.

1800
01:11:14,500 --> 01:11:16,000
got to do this, got to be that.

1801
01:11:16,066 --> 01:11:17,033
got to look like this.

1802
01:11:17,083 --> 01:11:20,433
Yeah, that's why Jesus clashed with those Pharisees.

1803
01:11:20,433 --> 01:11:21,399
Traditions of men.

1804
01:11:21,466 --> 01:11:22,366
He did all that stuff.

1805
01:11:22,416 --> 01:11:23,383
What do you tell them?

1806
01:11:23,433 --> 01:11:26,500
You know, I mean, on that Sabbath day, I think it was when he

1807
01:11:26,500 --> 01:11:29,616
told them, he said, um, he said,

1808
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,433
the outside of your cup, it looks clean.

1809
01:11:32,500 --> 01:11:34,666
He said, but the inside of it is filthy, right?

1810
01:11:34,783 --> 01:11:35,500
Whitewashed.

1811
01:11:35,500 --> 01:11:36,166
You're whitewashed.

1812
01:11:36,216 --> 01:11:36,933
I watch tomb.

1813
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:37,416
Yeah, yeah.

1814
01:11:37,483 --> 01:11:38,616
pretty on the outside.

1815
01:11:38,733 --> 01:11:41,733
I mean, it's one of those deals where every

1816
01:11:41,733 --> 01:11:44,550
time I think of that, I always just think of, did God not say?

1817
01:11:46,250 --> 01:11:47,733
Did God say?

1818
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:49,600
Did God say that?

1819
01:11:49,716 --> 01:11:51,033
Are you sure God said that?

1820
01:11:51,100 --> 01:11:54,216
That's all I can think of, is everything that when I'm like,

1821
01:11:54,216 --> 01:11:57,216
goodness, what did y'all add on here to make yourselves

1822
01:11:57,216 --> 01:12:00,883
so easy for Satan to come along and say, well, but did God say that?

1823
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:02,383
Did he?

1824
01:12:02,433 --> 01:12:05,550
Because, you know, if you do this, I mean, yeah,

1825
01:12:05,566 --> 01:12:09,050
and it's so easy once you start misquoting, once you start misremembering,

1826
01:12:09,050 --> 01:12:13,350
once you start and I'm not saying you got to get everything 100% right, but boy, you need to be in the ballpark.

1827
01:12:14,199 --> 01:12:14,733
Absolutely.

1828
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,716
And he don't need to change his tactics.

1829
01:12:17,266 --> 01:12:17,983
works so well.

1830
01:12:18,033 --> 01:12:20,733
And we just, we fall right for it.

1831
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,000
Dive head 1st into it.

1832
01:12:22,483 --> 01:12:25,600
And that's the thing, you know, I

1833
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:29,083
had said on when the previous

1834
01:12:29,083 --> 01:12:30,350
episode gets out.

1835
01:12:30,583 --> 01:12:32,983
You know, I pointed out, this is one of the reasons.

1836
01:12:33,033 --> 01:12:34,949
take the time to study it and write it.

1837
01:12:35,083 --> 01:12:36,100
write it down.

1838
01:12:36,166 --> 01:12:39,050
make notes, jot it down, write it.

1839
01:12:39,100 --> 01:12:41,083
Because if you can write it in your heart,

1840
01:12:41,133 --> 01:12:44,199
And if you can get that, get that where it's just in your bones.

1841
01:12:44,850 --> 01:12:48,283
It makes it so much easier to defend against what Satan throws at us.

1842
01:12:48,333 --> 01:12:50,199
Yeah, we don't know what's coming in our lives either.

1843
01:12:50,266 --> 01:12:54,283
You know, I've been around a lot of folks with dementia in the last couple of years.

1844
01:12:54,333 --> 01:12:58,233
And some of these folks have this stuff buried deep in their heart, buddy.

1845
01:12:58,300 --> 01:12:59,199
Yeah, they do

1846
01:12:59,316 --> 01:13:02,250
Because from a lifetime of looking at it and reading it.

1847
01:13:02,316 --> 01:13:02,800
Yes.

1848
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:03,283
Amen.

1849
01:13:03,333 --> 01:13:03,750
Amen.

1850
01:13:04,350 --> 01:13:07,416
I remember I remember some of the folks down

1851
01:13:07,416 --> 01:13:10,600
at Fort Payne when my great aunt was in there.

1852
01:13:10,666 --> 01:13:13,666
And I heard there's this little old lady and she would

1853
01:13:13,666 --> 01:13:16,966
come out and she'd start talking and all of a sudden she just starts, she would,

1854
01:13:16,966 --> 01:13:18,466
I think she was like 90 something years old.

1855
01:13:18,516 --> 01:13:21,149
She just starts quoting scripture randomly in conversations.

1856
01:13:21,216 --> 01:13:24,399
And it was like, in the world, and I

1857
01:13:24,399 --> 01:13:25,666
mean, nailing it.

1858
01:13:25,666 --> 01:13:28,183
And it was appropriate to the situation she'd be.

1859
01:13:28,233 --> 01:13:30,750
This woman normally, she had no clue what was going on around her.

1860
01:13:30,816 --> 01:13:32,500
But she just start quoting scripture.

1861
01:13:32,566 --> 01:13:36,333
I mean, it's like it's just pouring out over and I'm like, wow,

1862
01:13:36,333 --> 01:13:37,716
I'm slacking.

1863
01:13:38,500 --> 01:13:39,633
God is word in your heart.

1864
01:13:39,699 --> 01:13:40,233
That's right.

1865
01:13:40,300 --> 01:13:40,716
Amen.

1866
01:13:40,783 --> 01:13:42,649
Nothing can take it away from you, ever.

1867
01:13:42,699 --> 01:13:43,899
That's right.

1868
01:13:44,566 --> 01:13:47,683
So next time, Genesis

1869
01:13:47,683 --> 01:13:49,300
216, we'll pick up from there.

1870
01:13:49,366 --> 01:13:52,366
And we're going to get the 1st command that God gives man.

1871
01:13:54,949 --> 01:13:58,966
And God issues a command and boy,

1872
01:13:58,966 --> 01:14:00,100
it's sad that we didn't pay attention to it.

1873
01:14:00,166 --> 01:14:00,583
Yeah

1874
01:14:01,233 --> 01:14:02,016
We still don't.

1875
01:14:02,083 --> 01:14:02,800
No.

1876
01:14:02,866 --> 01:14:05,500
Sad that yeah, sad that we don't pay attention to it.

1877
01:14:05,566 --> 01:14:07,066
Not that we didn't.

1878
01:14:07,116 --> 01:14:07,716
that's right

1879
01:14:09,500 --> 01:14:12,283
Oh, brother Dennis, will you pray us out this week?

1880
01:14:12,333 --> 01:14:13,116
You got it.

1881
01:14:13,183 --> 01:14:15,816
Father, thank you so much for this time together with my brothers.

1882
01:14:15,816 --> 01:14:19,233
Father, thank you for this time for anybody that's listening,

1883
01:14:19,233 --> 01:14:22,416
Father, that we have spoken something from you that will touch

1884
01:14:22,416 --> 01:14:23,733
somebody's heart, Father.

1885
01:14:24,199 --> 01:14:25,899
Father, thank you for my brothers.

1886
01:14:25,966 --> 01:14:27,583
I pray your blessings on them.

1887
01:14:27,699 --> 01:14:31,116
And Lord, thank you for who you are, that you are awesome and

1888
01:14:31,116 --> 01:14:34,716
mighty, and you create so much from nothing.

1889
01:14:35,899 --> 01:14:39,766
I don't even know what to say other than just thank you, Lord.

1890
01:14:39,883 --> 01:14:41,083
Thank you.

1891
01:14:41,133 --> 01:14:44,250
Father bless us as we go about the rest of our weeks and protect

1892
01:14:44,266 --> 01:14:47,333
us until we come again here in Jesus' name.

1893
01:14:47,383 --> 01:14:47,983
Amen.

1894
01:14:48,033 --> 01:14:48,566
Amen.

1895
01:14:48,633 --> 01:14:48,949
Amen.
