Use your free will

Let's talk about free will, because a lot of this has to do with free will. It takes your free will to allow this beautiful life to come. You have to actually choose it, and you have to choose it, not every day when you wake up, but every heartbeat in every breath that you take, that you have to keep choosing it at every moment in your life.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Since then you have been raised with Christ. Set your
heart on things above, where Christ is seated at the
right hand of the Father. Set your minds on things above,
not on earthly things. For you died, and your life
is now hidden within Christ in God. When Christ, who

(00:59):
is your life, appears, then you will also appear with
him in glory. Put to death. Therefore, whatever belongs to
your earthly nature sexual immortality, impurity, lust, evil, desires, and greed,

(01:20):
which is ideology, because these things the wrath of God
is coming. You used to walk in these ways in
the life you once lived. But now you must also
be rid yourself of all such things as anger, rage, malice, slander,

(01:46):
filthy language. From your lips. Do not lie to each other,
since you have taken off your old self with its practices,
and you have put on a new self, which is
being renewed in knowledge, in the image of its creator.

(02:11):
Here there is no gentile or Jew, circumcision or uncircumcised, Barbarian, Scythian,
slave or free. But Christ is all in, all is in,
and is in all. Therefore God's chosen people, Holy En,

(02:38):
dear dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humanity, gentleness,
and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another
if you if any of you have a grievance against someone,

(03:03):
forgive as the Lord forgave you. And all over these
virtues put on love, which binds them all together in
perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
since as members of one body, you will be called

(03:27):
to peace and be thankful. Let the message of Christ
dwell among you as richly as you teach and admonish
one another with all the wisdom through the psalms, the hymns,

(03:48):
and the songs from the Spirit, singing to God, with
gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whatever word
or deed, do it all in the name of Lord
Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

(04:14):
That is quite a loaded reading. It sums up a
lot of what it is that I say to people,
and a lot of what it is that I actually believe.

(04:37):
I believe that Jesus Christ represents the love that we're
supposed to offer to everyone around us. And I believe
that God is is is our creator and our Father,
and that we should should worth worship and give thanks
to Him for just simply creating us. I believe that

(05:07):
the key to living a wonderful and great life is
by loving my neighbor and forgiving when faults cross my way.
It's better to let these things go than let them
eat it to you forever, because whenever you hold malay

(05:34):
in someone and generally, it usually works against you. Okay,
let's talk about free will, because a lot of this
has to do with free will. It takes your free
will to allow this beautiful life to come. You have

(05:56):
to actually choose it, and you have to choose it
not every day when you wake up, but every heartbeat
and every breath that you take. That you have to
keep choosing it at every moment in your life. Now,

(06:17):
let's focus on free will for a second, and because
there's something important with it, let's start this way. I
received a message from someone that said that God told
me that artificial intelligence is the Antichrist. Okay, not exactly untrue,

(06:45):
but not exactly true to what my free will tells me.
What I think is this and my belief around the Antichrist. Yes,
there truly is an Antichrist. There truly is some entity

(07:06):
out there that wants to work against the teachings of
Jesus Christ and work against what God, the love that
God put inside of us. Yes, I really believe that
truly exists. I think that that the Antichrist is and

(07:28):
something that needs to be born. I think it's something
that's always existed in our society. It's always been there
and it will continue to be there. Because it wants
to control every every being. It wants to control us.

(07:50):
It doesn't want us to have free will because it
wants our energy. And simply how this being wants to
or this entity wants to gain control of us is

(08:14):
by eliminating our free will. It does this by saying that.
Because I've found this on social media, someone talking about
false prophets, well, theas his way to point out a
false prophet is is that person talking about spreading God's love?

(08:37):
Or is he saying or this person saying that if
they do this, they're doomed to there. If they don't
believe this, then they're doomed to their If they're not
like us, then they're doom to there. If they're making

(09:02):
statements like that, then they might not be a real prophet.
Notice I said that they definitely are not. I didn't
I'm not being definitive about it again that particular groups

(09:23):
that did say that, profits that say that are trying
to control your free will. And that's the important part.
You need to use your free will to see for
yourself God's love. No, there's an image that's up behind

(09:49):
me right now, and that image is a summer day
on the near the summit of a mountain. And if
you look very close, see there's a mix of a
real mix of things actually happening in this photograph that
shows the miracle of God. If you look, the water

(10:13):
is frozen, but nothing else is Everything else is warm.
But I took this particular photograph. I was wearing shorts,
sandals and a tank top. Where I was standing was warm,

(10:39):
but you can see in the photograph that there is ice.
That's what I mean. When you start to see the
beauty of God, you start to see everything. You see
everything at once. It just all comes to you. You

(10:59):
start to see inside of people because you can see
that He's really loving, that person really wants to open
up and be a part of and welcome people into
into their life. You start to see when you open

(11:25):
yourself up truly to God's love, you start to see
those who want God's love in their life and that
you can bring them into your life because you both
want the same thing. You may not look the same,
but you have the same idea in mind to be

(11:49):
loving when you look and you want to want to
find the falsehoods is they're trying to eliminate or limit
people out. They're trying to make something exclusive, when God

(12:11):
himself says that he wants everything to be inclusive. He
wants all of us there because he created all of us.
He created everything in his image and likeness. Going back
to our photograph, in his image and likeness, he created

(12:32):
the snow as part of his image and likeness. He
created that ice is part of his image and likeness.
He created the trees that are blowing and blowing in
the wind freely in his image and likeness. All of
it is in his image and likeness. We were created

(12:55):
in his image and likeness, and we are filled with
His love. All we have to do is use our
free will and open ourselves up to it. Okay, in
the past, I used I used a a physics analogy. Hey,

(13:20):
because hell, you know, I studied science while I was
studying theology. Okay, so I use some scientific metaphors. One
of those scientific metaphors is that I to point out

(13:42):
the difference between good and evil, I said this picture
this that God is is warm. Okay, our heat in
our physics experiment would be our heat cold doesn't exis
cold is what we as human beings need to call

(14:05):
something because we were moving away from the energy source,
the heat source. Good and evil work the same way.
Evil is not an absolute and God. Through scripture, you'll

(14:26):
see that God actually created because he created free will.
He created something that would where you would go. If
you move away from God, you move away from from
that from our creator and that great energy source. So,

(14:49):
in essence, evil is something that we that we had
to create a name as human beings do mean that
we were moving away from God, that we were turning
our backs on God. Because we have free will, we
can turn our backs on God and walk away. But

(15:09):
more importantly is even if you do so, that God
at any given moment will allow us to turn back
around and walk to him. God is forgiving in nature

(15:35):
and with free will, and if we fill our hearts
with his love, we can follow what is written in
this letter to the collisions about how to eliminate malice
from our thoughts, and how to be loving to our

(15:56):
brothers and sisters, our fellow human beings. All it takes
is free will. God, Help us to see what free
will really means to us as your children. Help us

(16:18):
to understand that you created us so that we had
that free will to walk away if we choose, but
more importantly, to walk closer to you. To be closer
to you, to be a part of that single body
that is filled with love. Help us to understand your

(16:45):
free will so that we can make the choice to
be with you. Amen.
