stand wonderful day in the Lord. I thank you all

I just want to welcome you all to this podcast.

I pray that if you have been tuning in, that
you have found it to be a blessing to you

regarding veterans. And if you are serving one day, Lord
willing you will be a veteran. That means you will
leave the you will hang up the uniform, and you

will go out into the civilian sector wherever God may
lead you into that. But as for now, thank you
for your service, for those who are actively serving right
now and those of us who have served. Before we
get started today, I want to just open up with
(02:33):
a word of prayer. As I often say on my
podcast and broadcast, prayer is our best weapon against the enemy.
And we know that the devil aims to kill, steal,
and destroy. But the word of God let us know
that we are to put on the whole armor of God,
(02:55):
and so we can be prepared. Again. It's the enemy's devices,
because he is going to throw darts our way. He's
gonna throw arrows our way. He's gonna bring all kind
of trials and temptations and things our way. He's gonna
do what the devil does. He is the father lies.
But the thing is, Jesus is our captain. He is
(03:20):
the one with whom we follow. He is our commanding officer.
And today there's gonna be people everywhere that's gonna be
throwing in their balance and their votes or whatever. But
the thing is, regardless of who ends up at sixteen
hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. God is on the throne. Come on now,
(03:43):
Jesus is our kingdom, kings, and he is our Lord
of lords. That we don't have to spread about anything
that's going on in the world today because we know
that Jesus' kingdom will never fail. And let's go this
morning with a word of prayer. Dear helping Father God,

and I know that people are you know, going in
exercising or rights and everything, but we also have to
know that regardless of what takes place, that Jesus is
our king. Jesus is our Lord of lords. And we
don't put faith in man. We put faith in the Lord. Amen. Amen.
(07:38):
Today I want to go to the book of the
Book of Matthews, the Book of Matthews, chapter twenty two,
the Book of Matthews, chapter twenty two, because it's talking
about Jesus gave this parable about the wedding banquet, about
a wedding banquet, and he was letting us know how
(08:02):
we are to be when it comes to understanding the
king the Kingdom of God. Jesus often gave parables as
it related to the Kingdom of God to help us
understand the things of God. And therefore Jesu is one
of the parables that he gave. And in Matthew chapter
(08:22):
twenty two and versus, starting at verse one, it reads
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying, the Kingdom
of Heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding
banquet for his son. He went to his servants, to
those who had been invited to the banquet, to tell
(08:43):
them to come, but they refused. Then he sent some
more servants and said, tell those who have been invited
that I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and fat
and cattle have been butchered, and when everything is ready,
come to the wedding banquet. But they paid no attention
(09:06):
and went off, one to his fill, another to his business.
The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed
those murderers and burnt their city. Then he said to
(09:27):
his servants, the wedding banquet is ready, but those I
invited did not deserve to come. So go to the
street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered
all the people they could find, the bad as well
(09:48):
as the good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
But when the king came in to see the guests,
he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
He asked, how did you get in here without wedding clothes? Friend?
The man was speechless. Then the king told the attendants
(10:11):
tie him hand and foot and throw him outside into
the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
For many are invited, but few are chosen. And I
want to go back to to the beginning of this
because one thing that Jesus often did he often gave parables.
(10:34):
And the reason he gave parables he was so that
the everyday person, the common person, could understand about the
Kingdom of God. He didn't speak above their heads. He
didn't give us things that they would not understand. Everyone
understood about kings and leadership and servants that served the king.
And so therefore he gave this parable as a story
(10:57):
that other people would understand. So, this ticular story, he
wanted to help the help the people to understand about
the Kingdom of God. And so therefore this king had
given this wedding banquet, and he had prepared the animals
that they were gonna be cooked, they were gonna be
they were butchered, they were ready to go. And so
(11:18):
he was throwing this wedding for this wedding banquet for
his son who was about to get married. And we know,
oftentimes when you think about a wedding, you think about
that there's gonna be guests, that you're gonna wear a
good attire, that you're going to possibly eat some food
afterwards at the reception. That you're going to have a
(11:40):
good time, and normally you sent out the invitation. So
the king he sent his servants as the invitation. You know,
they didn't have a UPS or United States Postal service
during that time, so these servants were the actual mail
carriers that were going to deliver the word by mine
(12:00):
to those people that were invited. But the thing is
is that those people refuse to come. They had some
some said that they had work to do, Others went
to tend to their field. And then those that you
had some that mistreated the ones who were delivering the message.
And this takes place. It took place in the Bible,
(12:22):
and it took place now that those you know, we're
telling those who are the servants of the king. You know,
we call those who may be pastors or preachers, teachers, evangelists, apostles, prophets.
We are the servants that are and not just us,
but those who are serving God. We are the servants,
and we're to go out and give the invitation to
(12:43):
everyone that the king is giving his invitation. When we're
talking about the kingdom, kings and the Lord of lords,
and he's betting everyone to come come to the wedding
bank where he is preparing the place for us, and
he wants us all to make it into the kingdom.
And so we are the ones given the invitation and
given the warrantings and said come before it is too laden.
(13:05):
And you have many who are rejecting the message, and
many who would who would to have spent on the
messengers of God. And as we're given the message, those
who don't want to receive it and those who don't
want to accept, and they're rejecting the message, they're rejecting
the gospel, they're rejecting the truth. They don't want to
hear the truth. And so therefore they will talk about you,
(13:28):
and they will they will scorn you, and they will
mock you, and they will abuse you. And in the
Bible we see where the prophets were oftentimes killed and
persecuted because of the message that they had given. And
so in this peril, but we're saying that the servants
were persecuted because they gave the invitation from the king.
(13:52):
They had not done anything wrong, but they were telling
the people to come. Come. The King has made himself ready.
He has ready to banquet for you, and he's ready
for you to come but many people reject the message,
and so the king was enraged, and he sent his
army to destroy those murderers and burn the city. And
(14:15):
where we know that God is a god of justice,
and he's a god of wrath, and he's also a
god of love. But even in his love, God is
a god that renders justice. The Bible says that vengeance
belongs to the Lord. And so one day the Lord
is going to judge the world. And there's judgments that's
(14:36):
even taking place even now, and that we're seeing all
throughout the world and even in this land. Because many
are refusing God, many are rejecting God, Many will not
acknowledge God, many will not honor God. And so the
king he sent out more servants, and this time he
(15:01):
sent them out to the highways and the byways and
those who may have been considered the nobodies when he
sent them to the street corners and to get the drunks,
and to get the prostitutes, and to get the rebels,
and get those who others may have seen and deemed unworthy.
And we know that in biblical times that the Gospel
(15:21):
was given first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles,
and many of the Jews rejected the message, and then
the message was given to the gentiles, those who who
may not have been first chosen, but then they were
chosen by God. But then this one guess when the
king came in, This one guess he didn't have any
(15:45):
wedding garments on. You can imagine when the king when
he sent the servants out to to tell the others
to come on the highways and byways, they were also
given wedding garments. Those that were on the corn they
may not have had the proper tier, but the king
made sure that everyone was ready and dressed for the occasion.
(16:08):
But this particular servant thought, not servant, but this particular
man thought that he would just come anyway, in every way,
in whatever way he wanted to come. And see. The
thing about the Kingdom of God is we are to
come as we are, but not stay as we are.
That means I come with all my nest up self
to the throne of Grace, but I do not stay
(16:31):
that way. I allow the Holy Spirit to change me
from the inside out. And so this particular man thought
that he was gonna come, he was gonna stay as
he was. But he was supposed to change, because one
thing we know is that when we're in the presence
of God, we don't stay as we are. We are
to change. That means that when I accept Jesus as
(16:54):
my personal savior, I am not to stay that same
person that I used to be. I am to allow
the Holy Spirit to change me from the inside out.
I can't do it on my own, and that's why
I need the help of the King of Kings and
the Lord of Lords, who gave his life on the
cross for my sin, so that I may have life
(17:17):
and have it more abundantly. And therefore, as Paul said,
we don't take advantage of the freedoms that we have
been given, but we thank God for the grace that
He has given us up on our lives. And so therefore,
because of the grace and because of the mercy that
Jesus has given to us, we are new creatures in him.
(17:40):
But this particular man, he thought that he would just
come as he was and stay as he was. And
so therefore the King had him thrown out into the
darkness where there will be weeping in national teeth. And
many people sometimes think that, oh, there's not going to
be a hell there's not going to be a judgment,
there's not going to be a deadens. There's not gonna
(18:01):
be a day that we're gonna pay for the things,
whether good are bad, that we have done. We're not
gonna receive those rewards. But the Bible let us know
that the judgment is coming, that judgment day is coming
where we will rather good or bad. You're either gonna
be at the being recevedor Christ, or you're gonna be
at the white great throne of the judgment, where there
(18:23):
is no second chances, where there will be no time
to defend your case, where there will be no chances
to say, Lord, can I get a second chance? Because
that day will be over. And one thing, when the
books close upon your life, you want your name written
in the Book of life, because if your name is
(18:43):
not written in the Book of Life, then you will
be thrown into where there will be weeping and gnashing
of teeth. That means into the eternal fire. And some
people may think, well, how can a loving god, loving
God be also a god of wrath? Because he is
(19:05):
a god of love, he is a god of wrath.
That means that because he loves you, he cannot accept
the things that are not like him because He created
us in his image. That means that we are to
be wholeheartedly in his image. A God of righteousness, a
God of love, a God of mercy, a God of grace.
(19:29):
But one thing we know, he is not a god
of sin, and sin will not enter. In the Bible said,
many are invited, but few are chosen. Right now, our
king of kings and our Lord of lords, our commanding officer,
he is sending an invitation for everyone to be saved.
(19:53):
But many are invited, but few are chosen. That means
that many will not accept the invitation, so therefore they
are ultimately not chosen. You know that in serving in
the military, you have to follow what the commanding officer
(20:17):
says and do what your supervisors, your leaders tell you
to do. And then as you are in the military
and you serve that time, then you do what's required
and you will move up and rank. But if you
don't do what's required, and you will not be chosen
(20:38):
to move up in rank. And we want to move
up into the Kingdom of God. That means that everything
we do, everything we say, how we live is important
because God is he has the reference in heaven as
(21:00):
document everything that we have ever done. And what's most
important is to know that our names are written in
the Book of life. Because Jesus he's gone. He knows.
The Bible says, I go away to prepare a place
for you. And if I go and work away and
prepare a place before you, I will come again and
receive you. Unto myself that where I am there ye
(21:23):
may be also. I don't know about you, but I
want to see Jesus. I want to see the King
of Kings, the Lord of lords, my commanding officer, the
captain of this ship. How about you. We're going to

pray that you all have and are having a blessed,
stand wonderful day in the Lord. I thank you all
that have served to all my fellow veterans as well
(01:08):

Air Force, Marines, our National Guard, Coast Guard, and our
newer service the Space Force. And so I thank you
for serving those that are on reservists, on standby, those
(01:28):
that are our first responders. Ready you're a police officer,
a firefighter, paramedic, We thank you. We thank those doctors
and nurses that also are often on the frontlines of
things that take place as well. Thank you for your service. Today,
I just want to welcome you all to this podcast.
(01:51):
I pray that if you have been tuning in, that
you have found it to be a blessing to you
and that it is informative to you for those information
regarding veterans. And if you are serving one day, Lord
willing you will be a veteran. That means you will
leave the you will hang up the uniform, and you
(02:13):
will go out into the civilian sector wherever God may
lead you into that. But as for now, thank you
for your service, for those who are actively serving right
now and those of us who have served. Before we
get started today, I want to just open up with
(02:33):
a word of prayer. As I often say on my
podcast and broadcast, prayer is our best weapon against the enemy.
And we know that the devil aims to kill, steal,
and destroy. But the word of God let us know
that we are to put on the whole armor of God,
(02:55):
and so we can be prepared. Again. It's the enemy's devices,
because he is going to throw darts our way. He's
gonna throw arrows our way. He's gonna bring all kind
of trials and temptations and things our way. He's gonna
do what the devil does. He is the father lies.
But the thing is, Jesus is our captain. He is
(03:20):
the one with whom we follow. He is our commanding officer.
And today there's gonna be people everywhere that's gonna be
throwing in their balance and their votes or whatever. But
the thing is, regardless of who ends up at sixteen
hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. God is on the throne. Come on now,
(03:43):
Jesus is our kingdom, kings, and he is our Lord
of lords. That we don't have to spread about anything
that's going on in the world today because we know
that Jesus' kingdom will never fail. And let's go this
morning with a word of prayer. Dear helping Father God,
(04:03):
we just thank you God for allowing us to wake
up this morning. Lord, We thank you Lord for all
the blessings that you have given to us. Greater small Lord,

(05:07):
and deliver them from those things. In the name of Jesus,

we pray for their family members today right now, in
the name of Jesus. Lord, we pray that even if

(05:50):
are keeping things afloat but at home while their loved
ones are out in the broad. Lord. We pray for
the first responders, Lord, that are the first wants to
go into the harm of danger as others are trying
to come out. Lord, we pray that you will protect them,
the police officer, sheriff's office, Lord, those that are paramedics, Lord,
(06:12):
those that are serving in various capacities. Right now, in
the name of Jesus' Lord, we ask for your shield
or protection Lord, against them, against those that will come
against them, Lord, and we pray that you will arm
them with your protection. In the name of Jesus. Lord,
(06:32):

prayed to you all. I having a blessed and wonderful
morning on this Tuesday morning. I know it's election today,
(07:15):
and I know that people are you know, going in
exercising or rights and everything, but we also have to
know that regardless of what takes place, that Jesus is
our king. Jesus is our Lord of lords. And we
don't put faith in man. We put faith in the Lord. Amen. Amen.
(07:38):
Today I want to go to the book of the
Book of Matthews, the Book of Matthews, chapter twenty two,
the Book of Matthews, chapter twenty two, because it's talking
about Jesus gave this parable about the wedding banquet, about
a wedding banquet, and he was letting us know how
(08:02):
we are to be when it comes to understanding the
king the Kingdom of God. Jesus often gave parables as
it related to the Kingdom of God to help us
understand the things of God. And therefore Jesu is one
of the parables that he gave. And in Matthew chapter
(08:22):
twenty two and versus, starting at verse one, it reads
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying, the Kingdom
of Heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding
banquet for his son. He went to his servants, to
those who had been invited to the banquet, to tell
(08:43):
them to come, but they refused. Then he sent some
more servants and said, tell those who have been invited
that I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and fat
and cattle have been butchered, and when everything is ready,
come to the wedding banquet. But they paid no attention
(09:06):
and went off, one to his fill, another to his business.
The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed
those murderers and burnt their city. Then he said to
(09:27):
his servants, the wedding banquet is ready, but those I
invited did not deserve to come. So go to the
street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered
all the people they could find, the bad as well
(09:48):
as the good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
But when the king came in to see the guests,
he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes.
He asked, how did you get in here without wedding clothes? Friend?
The man was speechless. Then the king told the attendants
(10:11):
tie him hand and foot and throw him outside into
the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
For many are invited, but few are chosen. And I
want to go back to to the beginning of this
because one thing that Jesus often did he often gave parables.
(10:34):
And the reason he gave parables he was so that
the everyday person, the common person, could understand about the
Kingdom of God. He didn't speak above their heads. He
didn't give us things that they would not understand. Everyone
understood about kings and leadership and servants that served the king.
And so therefore he gave this parable as a story
(10:57):
that other people would understand. So, this ticular story, he
wanted to help the help the people to understand about
the Kingdom of God. And so therefore this king had
given this wedding banquet, and he had prepared the animals
that they were gonna be cooked, they were gonna be
they were butchered, they were ready to go. And so
(11:18):
he was throwing this wedding for this wedding banquet for
his son who was about to get married. And we know,
oftentimes when you think about a wedding, you think about
that there's gonna be guests, that you're gonna wear a
good attire, that you're going to possibly eat some food
afterwards at the reception. That you're going to have a
(11:40):
good time, and normally you sent out the invitation. So
the king he sent his servants as the invitation. You know,
they didn't have a UPS or United States Postal service
during that time, so these servants were the actual mail
carriers that were going to deliver the word by mine
(12:00):
to those people that were invited. But the thing is
is that those people refuse to come. They had some
some said that they had work to do, Others went
to tend to their field. And then those that you
had some that mistreated the ones who were delivering the message.
And this takes place. It took place in the Bible,
(12:22):
and it took place now that those you know, we're
telling those who are the servants of the king. You know,
we call those who may be pastors or preachers, teachers, evangelists, apostles, prophets.
We are the servants that are and not just us,
but those who are serving God. We are the servants,
and we're to go out and give the invitation to
(12:43):
everyone that the king is giving his invitation. When we're
talking about the kingdom, kings and the Lord of lords,
and he's betting everyone to come come to the wedding
bank where he is preparing the place for us, and
he wants us all to make it into the kingdom.
And so we are the ones given the invitation and
given the warrantings and said come before it is too laden.
(13:05):
And you have many who are rejecting the message, and
many who would who would to have spent on the
messengers of God. And as we're given the message, those
who don't want to receive it and those who don't
want to accept, and they're rejecting the message, they're rejecting
the gospel, they're rejecting the truth. They don't want to
hear the truth. And so therefore they will talk about you,
(13:28):
and they will they will scorn you, and they will
mock you, and they will abuse you. And in the
Bible we see where the prophets were oftentimes killed and
persecuted because of the message that they had given. And
so in this peril, but we're saying that the servants
were persecuted because they gave the invitation from the king.
(13:52):
They had not done anything wrong, but they were telling
the people to come. Come. The King has made himself ready.
He has ready to banquet for you, and he's ready
for you to come but many people reject the message,
and so the king was enraged, and he sent his
army to destroy those murderers and burn the city. And
(14:15):
where we know that God is a god of justice,
and he's a god of wrath, and he's also a
god of love. But even in his love, God is
a god that renders justice. The Bible says that vengeance
belongs to the Lord. And so one day the Lord
is going to judge the world. And there's judgments that's
(14:36):
even taking place even now, and that we're seeing all
throughout the world and even in this land. Because many
are refusing God, many are rejecting God, Many will not
acknowledge God, many will not honor God. And so the
king he sent out more servants, and this time he
(15:01):
sent them out to the highways and the byways and
those who may have been considered the nobodies when he
sent them to the street corners and to get the drunks,
and to get the prostitutes, and to get the rebels,
and get those who others may have seen and deemed unworthy.
And we know that in biblical times that the Gospel
(15:21):
was given first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles,
and many of the Jews rejected the message, and then
the message was given to the gentiles, those who who
may not have been first chosen, but then they were
chosen by God. But then this one guess when the
king came in, This one guess he didn't have any
(15:45):
wedding garments on. You can imagine when the king when
he sent the servants out to to tell the others
to come on the highways and byways, they were also
given wedding garments. Those that were on the corn they
may not have had the proper tier, but the king
made sure that everyone was ready and dressed for the occasion.
(16:08):
But this particular servant thought, not servant, but this particular
man thought that he would just come anyway, in every way,
in whatever way he wanted to come. And see. The
thing about the Kingdom of God is we are to
come as we are, but not stay as we are.
That means I come with all my nest up self
to the throne of Grace, but I do not stay
(16:31):
that way. I allow the Holy Spirit to change me
from the inside out. And so this particular man thought
that he was gonna come, he was gonna stay as
he was. But he was supposed to change, because one
thing we know is that when we're in the presence
of God, we don't stay as we are. We are
to change. That means that when I accept Jesus as
(16:54):
my personal savior, I am not to stay that same
person that I used to be. I am to allow
the Holy Spirit to change me from the inside out.
I can't do it on my own, and that's why
I need the help of the King of Kings and
the Lord of Lords, who gave his life on the
cross for my sin, so that I may have life
(17:17):
and have it more abundantly. And therefore, as Paul said,
we don't take advantage of the freedoms that we have
been given, but we thank God for the grace that
He has given us up on our lives. And so therefore,
because of the grace and because of the mercy that
Jesus has given to us, we are new creatures in him.
(17:40):
But this particular man, he thought that he would just
come as he was and stay as he was. And
so therefore the King had him thrown out into the
darkness where there will be weeping in national teeth. And
many people sometimes think that, oh, there's not going to
be a hell there's not going to be a judgment,
there's not going to be a deadens. There's not gonna
(18:01):
be a day that we're gonna pay for the things,
whether good are bad, that we have done. We're not
gonna receive those rewards. But the Bible let us know
that the judgment is coming, that judgment day is coming
where we will rather good or bad. You're either gonna
be at the being recevedor Christ, or you're gonna be
at the white great throne of the judgment, where there
(18:23):
is no second chances, where there will be no time
to defend your case, where there will be no chances
to say, Lord, can I get a second chance? Because
that day will be over. And one thing, when the
books close upon your life, you want your name written
in the Book of life, because if your name is
(18:43):
not written in the Book of Life, then you will
be thrown into where there will be weeping and gnashing
of teeth. That means into the eternal fire. And some
people may think, well, how can a loving god, loving
God be also a god of wrath? Because he is
(19:05):
a god of love, he is a god of wrath.
That means that because he loves you, he cannot accept
the things that are not like him because He created
us in his image. That means that we are to
be wholeheartedly in his image. A God of righteousness, a
God of love, a God of mercy, a God of grace.
(19:29):
But one thing we know, he is not a god
of sin, and sin will not enter. In the Bible said,
many are invited, but few are chosen. Right now, our
king of kings and our Lord of lords, our commanding officer,
he is sending an invitation for everyone to be saved.
(19:53):
But many are invited, but few are chosen. That means
that many will not accept the invitation, so therefore they
are ultimately not chosen. You know that in serving in
the military, you have to follow what the commanding officer
(20:17):
says and do what your supervisors, your leaders tell you
to do. And then as you are in the military
and you serve that time, then you do what's required
and you will move up and rank. But if you
don't do what's required, and you will not be chosen
(20:38):
to move up in rank. And we want to move
up into the Kingdom of God. That means that everything
we do, everything we say, how we live is important
because God is he has the reference in heaven as
(21:00):
document everything that we have ever done. And what's most
important is to know that our names are written in
the Book of life. Because Jesus he's gone. He knows.
The Bible says, I go away to prepare a place
for you. And if I go and work away and
prepare a place before you, I will come again and
receive you. Unto myself that where I am there ye
(21:23):
may be also. I don't know about you, but I
want to see Jesus. I want to see the King
of Kings, the Lord of lords, my commanding officer, the
captain of this ship. How about you. We're going to
