So, before I get into the why I am getting into this message I thought I would open it up with a simile comparing iron swords with steel swords one to another. At large they look the same to most people and but it isn’t until you need to put them to use that you discover that the iron sword is of a way lesser quality and durability than the steel sword so if you ever used an iron sword in battle against one who yielded a steel sword, your weapon would be insufficient for the victory and you would suffer loss. Keep this story in mind comparatively speaking as we discuss the wide variety of bibles and some, oh so very few of the changes that they have gone through ever since we had a supposed lock on the word of God being that it was considered at one point in time to be the infallible Word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit written through men in which some actually saw and walked with Jesus Himself. And since God cannot lie even if by chance or by the ignorance of mankind including some things which are just off of the nature of God. More on this in the message.
Consider, for this message that the King James or New King James Version represents the steel sword and many of the rest, perhaps not all, but many of the rest represent an iron sword. Hopefully, by the time we get to the end of this messages you will have discovered why I said this.
Ok so before I get into this you should stay with the entire message as this is hot of the revelation presses, meaning that I tripped over it in my studies. As you know this is the year of study for me beginning February 2025 and ending end of January 2026. Over 500 books and still plugging at it. Please don’t be impressed as it is God who anoints us for His work. I only tell you as a teacher what it looks like in the event you are called to teach. Before I was saved I was not a reader of any quality books. After I got saved boom the strange appetite hit me and nearly 30-yrs later I am heading into 2000 books. None of this matters other than I am doing what I have been given to do. If I was called to be a Ninja fighter I would have been given the anointing to be that. I would practice 16-hrs daily to develop the craft so that I could win to God other Ninja fighters. Ha so it’s a funny example but that is how the anointing works. If you want to test it, you can simply try and read. The caveat is that you cannot be called to be a teacher. Oh we all as believers should read but you will not be reading like I am reading unless you have been called to the same position. And no doubt others have surpassed the number of books that I have read yearly. Charlie Kirk averaged around 100 books yearly and his life reflected it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
