(05:42):
amen and amen amen amen. Thereis nothing like there's nothing more sexy
than a woman praying. There isnothing more sexier than a woman that prays,
especially a woman of God. Ohmy god, Oh sorry, anyway,
(06:03):
it's a love chapter, all right, amen, let's get into this
word. So what was it?We have had quite a few topics.
We went from talking about leadership thatwe're talking about love vibe and now we're
(06:24):
talking about standing up for Christ.Because we're living in a time all that
you and I us we need tomake sure our calling and election is sure.
The times are gonna get darker,they're gonna get worse wherever wherever God
has called you and you, wewant to make sure that you're equipped and
that you know how to take astand for the right. What's right on
(06:46):
righteousness and taking a stand ultimately forChrist is being on the righteous side.
Right. Yeah, But she said, yeah, yep, she took the
word right out of my mouth.And what better way to back that up
than by a scripture or Second Corinthiansten, verse five, you want to
read that, ben, Sure,it says we demolish arguments and every pretension
(07:13):
that sets itself up against the knowledgeof God, and we take captive every
thought to make it obedient to Christ. So, you know, it just
hit me. God has talked tome and he said that. You know,
so many people think that this meansthat we're not supposed to be arguing.
We demolished arguments, you know,and that's not what it means.
(07:34):
It doesn't mean that we're not supposedto argue. Whatever the case it was
to say says we demolish ugments andevery pretension that sets itself up against the
knowledge of God. Was it saying. It's saying that when somebody trying to
come against trying trying to come againstthe knowledge of God, us being filled
(07:59):
with Holy Spirit, we can wecan battle back whatever they say. We
can actually just pick it apart withthe knowledge that God gives us. Because
it's more than just the knowledge ofGod, is the wisdom of God,
the wisdom of God, that samewisdom shape the earth, that wisdom made
(08:24):
the earth, that wisdom shaped andmade the universes. You know. So
so when somebody tries to come andtries to tell you something about the Word
of God, whether it's false oror there or they're taking scripture out of
its text or whatever the case.We're but it's pinpoint and see it right
through it and be're like, no, that's not it. And so what
(08:48):
happens is that a lot of timesa lot of Christians think that we're just
supposed to if they get if theyget scriptured wrong, or they preach your
wrong, or they're telling people wrong. We know we're not supposed say anything
that's not true because the Word istelling us that we demolish arguments. Okay,
good, So that we have aresponsibility. We have a responsibility to
(09:09):
speak up. Amen. And whenwe speak up, when when they're by
Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is goingto allow us to say what we need
to say in the way that itneeds to be said. If I may
add, but there's a way thatwe speak up, right, We speak
according to the Word of God,right exactly of course God be based on
the Word of God, and thenHoly Spirit will download into us what to
(09:33):
say and when to say it andhow to say it. Because the Word
is the sword the Spirit. Soif you're speaking scripture now you're not just
coming out of your soul and youremotion with you feel you'll be doing more
damage than what you would be justsaying, like you know what I feel
in this, No, take theword, just like Jesus took the word.
(09:54):
It is written, and you'll bedoing damage. You'll be doing damage
because the word it doesn't lie exactlyand and just as a just as disclaim
a ladies and gentlemen, whenever wewe we talk, and and so forth
and so on, and whenever I'mleading, I don't tell my wife what
we're gonna well, what we're gonnatalk about, or what we're gonna do.
(10:16):
I might have just touched on itwith her, but I normally don't
because I like how I love howthe Holy Spirit flows out of her without
her, you know, having torehearse or anything. So everything that you
see in here is is what whatdo you call that? It's fresh?
And so what was the worst grassrooms? What do you call it? Ram?
Uh? No? No, rayma? And it's also it's organic.
(10:39):
Everything is organic, so right fromthe throne exactly. So so so there's
a word that's called apologetics. Okay, And I never really uh, I
never really liked that word because Ireally, I don't apologet. It's meant
(11:00):
that, you know, you know, Jesus made himself poor, so we're
not supposed to We're supposed to actuallyapologize for the faith that we have,
like you know, we're supposed to, like you know, be humble and
timid and not to say anything,you know, don't speak up, don't
say anything, you know, beingin an apologetic mold. But that's not
(11:24):
what apologetic means in some arenas,right, Okay, apologetic has a whole
different meaning. Apologetic means to reason. It means reason arguments or writings.
It's an in justification of something,Okay, typically normally is in theories or
(11:48):
religious doctrine. So in this case, apologetics, that word actually fits Second
Corinthians ten, verse five, becausewhat it's telling, what it's saying is
that we are justified in speaking upwhen people use the word wrong or speak
against the word we can speak orspeak against Jesus or speak against Christ.
(12:11):
We have we have a right tospeak up. We have a right to
to discuss in the way that theHoly Spirit wants us to discuss about Christ,
about Jesus, about about Adam andI about about uh God and and
(12:31):
about the Word of God. Soso so ask Christians. We have a
right to speak up and say something. Okay. So that being said,
this conversation is going to be basedupon the conversation that I had with a
friend of mine that was I knewsince ankle high. That's how long I
(12:54):
know. I know. I knowthem from my old, old oldhood.
So he's an original, and wego way back. You know, his
his mother. I loved his mother'sfamily, you know, and they loved
being so forth and soone. Hismother has been deceased. But you know
that's how that's how tight we are. Okay. And he recently he recently
(13:22):
requested my friendship on Facebook again.Okay, now I say again, because
he had unfriended me a year ago, about a year ago. Okay.
In fact, you remember the Germanand I went to the hospital to get
him food. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it was him. Okay.
(13:43):
And he's not a follower of Christ, and he doesn't believe in Christ.
He doesn't believe that Christ is theSavior. His theology is really off
kilter. And I had to checkhim many time time for his ignorance because
he's one that he thinks he noscripture, but then when he speaks it,
(14:05):
he doesn't know what he's talking about. But now it has come to
like that he doesn't even believe inthe Bible anymore. Wow, okay.
Yeah, and so let me giveyou an example. He believes that when
Paul first heard Jesus voice and sawthe light, that it wasn't Jesus that
(14:28):
he heard, but it was reallySatan. Okay. So that's how off
kilter that he is. Okay,he must have gotten that from somewhere and
from someone. Yeah. Yeah,it's wrong teaching, right, Okay.
So he also believes that all theBible is based upon Paul, and Paul
only Well did you mayor inter didyou ask him where he got this thinking
(14:52):
from? Like where you got thisinformation from? Well, we're going to
get into that. We're going toget into that. An apologies. So
needless to say, I can't Ican't help but laugh at him sometimes for
making these baseless and ending statements,okay, because and I always pot holes
in his ridiculous assertions, and hegets so upset that that's why he befriends
(15:16):
me on all platforms all the time. Because once you're very mold as you
know, and you know, Ikind of like try to make light of
it. So I'll make jokes outof it, but not jokes that are
but I'll keep it light hearted.But yet and still when you know,
when you try to, when yougo against somebody who you can't break their
(15:41):
joy, you can't break their calmness. That gets you angrier and anger and
anger. So he gets so angrythat he blocks me. Okay, yeah,
so chance, so he decided thathe was good. Don't try to
don't just don't try to do itwith devil's come on, just that's another
(16:04):
conversation. Don't do what y'all,just don't do it anyway. He's the
king of debate, especially when itcomes to the Lord. All right,
comes a crisis, but you bettercome with it and come with it right,
correct, because you will get shutdown. All right. So anyway,
uh needs to say walking in love, y'all, Walking in love so
(16:25):
needs to say, you know,he he I saw his request again,
and you know, as a goodfriend that I am, I I what
do you call it? Accepted it? Accepted his friendship. And of course
I always cheat him in love.And when he's in a buying I'm there
to help him out. He knowsus. Okay, he knows us.
(16:48):
And with that being said, yetagain here's his friend request and yet again
cheating him in love. I acceptit, okay, all right. So
well what we were doing was hewas we was talking amicably, you know,
no problems. You know, hefound out he's a DJ, you
know, allegedly and yeah, yeah, you know, and he and he
(17:11):
was sending me music. Yeah theconnection where we do yeah, yeah,
you know. And and I madesure, you know, I'm walking in
love. So I'm not asking himnothing about scripture. You know, everything
is just friendship being Jesus, yes, yes, So for about a week,
(17:33):
you know, he was sending memusic. What happened was that,
you know the fact that we wereboth from the old school. We were
we were arguing about debating about hiphop, you know, who was the
best, and you know, justhaving a friendly debate about you know,
uh what what rapper he liked,what rapper I like, and and put
(17:55):
them up against each other. Soyou know, we having many conversation basically
right, and the everything was cool. And then one day he started asking
me questions about the Bible again,and he started asking about the Old Testament,
and when he asked me a question, I would tell him about as
much as I knew. I wouldlet him know what this meant and what
(18:21):
that meant. And then he startedgetting into the New Testament, so I
started telling him certain things, andso I was like, wow, maybe
he's you know, he's come tothe light and now he's ready to choose
Christ. You, I mean,you know, and so you know what,
I was just answering all his questionsand then out of nowhere, it
(18:41):
was so random, he said thathe was arguing with a Muslim in another
text, so that he wanted meto hold on for a second. So
I was like, okay, SoI was like arguing with a Muslim?
I was like, why is hearguing with a Muslim? And why he
telling me about it? About thisargument a Muslim for And so when he
(19:07):
came back, which is about likefifteen twenty minutes later, right, he
said that he won the argument againstthe Muslim and he won the argument against
a Christian in the same day,which is me. So I'm like argument,
I'm like, I was like,I'm not arguing with you about anything.
I was like, I was like, I'm not even debating you.
(19:30):
I was like you. I waslike, you're just you was asking me
questions and I was answering you,and he was like, yeah, that's
why, that's why I beat you. He was like, that's why I
beat you, and and and shoutit, shout it down all of your
(19:51):
all of your assertions. And Iwas like, what are you talking about.
I was like, listen, I'mlike, you weren't debating. You
never opened up about debate. Iwas like, I asked you, what
does discernment mean? You never toldme what discernment meant. And I'm just
sitting here waiting for you to giveme the answer on discernment. So then
he started talking about how wise heis and so forth and so on.
(20:17):
He got all this knowledge and heshut down the Muslim and I's shutting down
the Christian And I was like,what are you shutting down? The nasty
started going into Jesus as a phonyand Paul was a fool and the books
that he wrote wasn't true, andthat he said something else about Paul that
(20:37):
I can't remember. But then hestarted saying that I was a Paulindian because
I followed Paul. And I waslike no. I was like, I
don't follow. Paul followed Jesus.I said, Paul followed Jesus. He
and he didn't want anybody following him. He made sure to tell people to
follow Paul. And he was like, yeah, you're just a Pauldian and
(20:59):
you're a slave. And now I'mtrying to be nice here, you know,
and just like, okay, letme just let me just deal with
him. And so what I didwas, you know, it says here
in verse Pter three thirteen, versethirteen to fifteen in the ESV. Can
you read that bad? Now?Who is there to harm you? If
(21:22):
you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for
righteousness sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor
be troubled. But in your heart'shonor Christ, the Lord is holy,
always being prepared to make a defenseto anyone who asks you for a reason,
for the hope that is in you. Yet do it with gentleness and
(21:44):
respect. That part right, thatpart. See, So what it's saying
is, look what it says.It's at first, have no fear nor
be trouble. Then it says,make a defense. Okay, so you
don't have to be afraid to haveno fear. Exactly, we are now
having a debate because now you saidJesus is phony, Paul was a fool.
(22:08):
I'm a Pauldian and I'm a slave, and the books that he wrote
wasn't true. Okay, But thekey here is to do it in a
gentle and respectful manner. Exactly.That's the challenging part. So I kind
of rebuked him by telling them thetruth about Jesus. Yes, I did
not, because because now I understood, Yeah, I understood that he was.
(22:33):
I understood that he obviously is misbeguiled. You know, somebody told him
wrong, you know what I'm saying. And you know I told him.
I told him about the encounter withPaul, and I kind of rebuked him
by telling him the truth about Jesusand about the encounter Paul had with him
(22:53):
when he saw the light and heardhis voice. Okay, but the homie
was persistent with calling out Jesus tobe a phony. Okay. And not
only that, but like I said, the word of God is fake,
yeah, yeah, yep, yep. And so what I did was,
(23:15):
remember I was holding on to thisgentleness and respect part Okay, I try
not to accuse him, accuse himof anything wrong, or be disrespectful to
him. Right, But he kepton going in on me, and then
he said that he won the argument. He kept on saying he won,
he won. So, but mayI interject, sure, okay, I
(23:38):
was going back to the scripture becausethe two things that just for our listener's
sake. Now, we our faithin Christianity is one of our beliefs.
Ism is one that gives. Right, we share. We share our faith.
We don't impose per se. Butif someone asks, then the scripture
is saying, be prepared to havea defense. Right, So there will
(24:00):
come a time where somebody in yourcircle or maybe at your job, they
may see you or watch you orobserve you for a minute and then they
might ask you. So that's alwaysan opportunity for you to share your faith.
Right, There will always be opportunities. But the key is wait for
(24:21):
wait for someone to ask, soyou can be led by the Lord because
you know you're doing it in decencyand in order, and be gentle and
respectful in your response. But weshould always be prepared, be prepared exactly
So, like I said, hewas a persistent. He was accusing me,
(24:45):
he was disrespectful to Christ and isall and all. And I repeated
to him that I was not arguingor debating anything with him, because his
belief is his belief. What webelieve is what he believes. I told
him that if he does I believe, that's on him and it has nothing
to do with me. Okay.So he started, Now he's getting reckless,
(25:07):
okay, and he's getting belligerent,and he's getting obnoxious, obnoxious,
and everything from his mouth was aboutJesus and Paul being phony. And I
kept on telling him, do therewere more people in the Bible than just
Paul. It was Matthew, therewas Luke, there was John. There
(25:27):
was a plethora of profits in theOld Team, in the Old Testament,
So why did you keep harping onPaul? And I was like, you
yet to steal answer my question ofwhat discernment means. So you're not well,
I'm a whether, he say.He said, I'm I'm here to
(25:51):
prove that the word is a fable. There's nothing but fable and lies.
And so what he did he startedsending TikTok videos. He started sending me
TikTok videos to prove his stance,and I'm like, dude, like you're
trying to show me TikTok videos andYouTube videos to prove that what you're saying
(26:15):
is true. I'm like, youcan't even tell me, for the life
of me what the word discernment means. You're not telling me nothing right.
So but every time, you know, I said, I answered all your
questions and I answered everything fully,but you can't even answer one question that
(26:37):
I have. I said, whyhow are you so wise? And you
keep saying the same thing that eitherI'm a Paulinian when there's so many other
different people of the Bible, noa, noa, Noah, you're a Paulinian
and so forth and so on.So at that point, I'm like,
I said, what's going on here? And after a minute that's not asked
that I said, I said,is this exchange fruitful? And I want
(27:04):
you guys to listen up, becausethis is very important. This is what
you need to ask God when you'rein the midst of a conversation with somebody,
or even before you converse with them. Okay, is this exchange truthful?
Was my convo with this person evennecessary? Like, am I gaining
(27:26):
anything from it? Is he gaininganything from it? And what's the point,
what's the point of this conversation thatI'm having with this person? Okay,
remember that, remember that because this, this can this can steer you
from getting into strife, getting intostrife or what's the word saying, throwing
(27:48):
pearls the swine, but or orit could be a fruitful conversation. But
we're still so we're still instructed thoughto give a defense, but be given
if we're asked, right, Imean, it all depends. It all
depends, because sometimes you can bein a situation where somebody is hurting and
(28:11):
then might need some some They mightneed counsel or advismen at that time,
so you might have to come tothat person and ask them. There might
be a moment of there's so manydifferent types of moments that it could be.
It might not be actually in themasking, you might have to ask,
or the situation just might have tobe a where they say, hey,
(28:33):
can I tell you about this Jesusguy, you know what I'm saying.
So you never know, but itcould it could be in the form
of a question. If the personis asking that that's definitely an open door,
right, Okay. So with thatbeing said, so I wasn't frustrated
right back, I wasn't frustrated.I was very patient. But after,
(28:55):
you know, I talked to somebodyfor this long and I see that it's
not getting due to them. Icontinue on, but I'm starting to I'm
starting to wonder what type of spiritand am I dealing with? And that's
when it hit me spirit right,And that doesn't hit me again, spiritual
attack right right, I was actuallygoing through a spiritual attack. I was
(29:21):
going through a demonic attack right thenand there. Because here it is who
else will say that the Word ofGod is not true, who else will
say that the Bible is not true? Who else will say that Jesus is
not it's a phony? Who elsewill say Paul is a phony? Exactly
(29:42):
exactly, So Satan was using myfriend to try to stop me from believing
in Christ, try to stop mefrom believing what Paul taught and the whole
Bible. Once I knew that Satanwas in the midst, I just dug
(30:06):
in and I and I got evenmore brave and defined. Once I know
that Satan is in the midst,oh, what's on the popping. It's
like it's like a like you know, if you clean your house speaking spinding,
then you see a roach in itand you'd be like, uh what
that roaches gotta die? Okay,so that's not mistake. I was like
(30:27):
uh uh, I was like no. I was like no. Satan is
trying to use the homie to tryto dissuade me, to try to convince
me to not believe in God,to not believe in my word. And
that's the same thing that Satan doesto believe this, right, It tries
to suggest that the word of Godis not what, it's not true,
(30:49):
right, It tries to get themnot to believe in his word that and
this is that is what I That'swhat it did to Adam and Eve okay,
and made them believe that the wordsof God's voice were false, that
they wouldn't die, but that theywould surely live like God. But they
were already like God. So itlied in lie. Like how Satan came
(31:12):
to Jesus and tried to make himhurt himself off the mountain to kill himself.
Satan was trying to come at methrough the homi to get me to
stop believing the word. And that'sjust like throwing myself off a mountain,
committing suicide if I don't have theword in my life. This this guy
(31:33):
was gonna say, this fool,But this fool was trying to get me
not to believe in the word ofGod that had gotten me out of a
dry place, that have renewed mybones, in my mind and my mind,
who had gotten me out of debt, who broke the chains of poverty
for me, You broke me outof prison and set me and set me
(31:53):
free a captain to my own sin, set me free from that life,
set me free from life, setme free from Satan, who saved me
from death, hell and Hades,who single handedly rescued me from the warlock
that I was becoming. Who andwho pulled me out of my own thievery
(32:15):
and crookedness and all my bye ways. That's that's who he wanted me to
believe him and stead of the Godthat pulled me out of the wretched so
that I used to be. Youmust be crazy. I was supposed to
believe the person that's on the otherline, who's a wolf and sheep,
(32:36):
who is a wolf in sheep's clothing, tell me that God is faked?
Are you serious? I was like, are you serious? Right now?
So that's this is when I thisis when the defense got turned up a
notch, all right. And Isaid, I said, my God,
you don't even realize it, butyou're doing Satan's work. I said,
(32:59):
you are straight doing what Satan triesto do to every believer. You are
doing the antichrist job for him.I said, you are a part of
the Antichrist. I told him that. I said, you are a Devil's
porn. I said, how doyou like the fact that you are giving
me nothing more than opinion, nofacts, trying to turn me away from
(33:22):
my God and my word that savedme from the registrar that I used to
be, to the nobility of whatthe Blood has made me. That's what
I told him. I said,you are a Satan's child. You are
a child of the devil, andall of your foolish words are carnal and
not of God. They are thework of Satan, who you are.
The son of the Devil is awhisperer. You're whispering rubbish to me.
(33:45):
The Devil's a thief, and you'retrying to steal God's word away from me.
The Devil's a liar. You arelying to me about Jesus being fake,
like you're lying. I said,that's all the Antichrist, my guid.
I was like, you're doing anantichrist, I said, I said,
say it with me, you arethe Antichrist. How do you like
the fact that you're trying to tellme that, I said, I said,
(34:07):
I said, forget, I said, I said, okay. I
said, let's just say, forall sorts of purposes that Paul was the
author of all the Bible. Isaid, Paul believes in Christ, and
Paul tells everybody to follow Christ.So if I'm following Paul, I'm following
Christ anyway. But you are noteven following Christ. You're anti Christ,
(34:29):
so you're doing the devil's work.I was like, you're trying to dissuade
me from believing in God off ofsome TikTok videos. Are you nuts?
I was like no. I waslike. I was like no, I
said, no disrespect. I said, but you're a fool, I said,
because the Bible states that you're afool, I said, I said,
(34:52):
it says in Proverbs twelve fifteen.A stubborn fool considers his own way
the right one. But a personwho listens to advice is wise. That's
what it says in God's Word translation, and the Good News Transition says,
stupid people always think they are right. Whyse people listen to advice. That's
(35:13):
in the Good News Transition, theInternational Standard version that says, the lifestyle
of the fool is right in itsown opinion. But wise is the man
who listens to advice. So youknow what he did, yet what he
always does. He deleted me.He blocked me again. He blocked me
on all platforms, and you knowwhat I did that. You didn't even
(35:36):
know this, But that's when weare ordered the red lib sending and we
sat down and watched the movie.It didn't matter to me. I didn't
think twice, you know why,because we have to. There's got to
be a point where we stand upfor God. There's got to be a
point where when people try to dissuadeus and tear us away from the Word,
we say no, we're gonna standour ground. Good On was thinking
(36:00):
that I forgot where this is inscripture. But it talks about our blood
being on our hands. What isit you know where that is in scripture
about we can have the blood ofothers on our hands. Not speaking the
truth can be held accountable for thatexactly. So we got to speak up,
(36:22):
we got to speak out. Andsometimes we have well to those that
know and know not and don't dowhat they know or don't don't do what
they know is right in that time. It's also called sin disobedience. Wow,
that is deep right. God isleading you to do something and say
something, and fear or whatever itis is preventing you from being obedient.
(36:44):
When the Holy Spirit is is supposedto give us boldness, we're giving us
power to testify. That's what it'sfor. My husband is a clear example
of the Holy Spirit giving power,endowing us with that power to be witnesses.
We have to be witnesses and wecan't be afraid to speak the word
of God. We can't be afraidfor people to unfriend us on Facebook or
(37:08):
delete us. You know, andit might be for a season. I
know there's been a lot of people. My husband has spoken some hard truth
to even me. I wanted todelete my husband, but they've come back
around full circle, calling him backagain. You know after that, you
know there's some it's called fallow ground. Sometimes I gotta that gotta be uh
(37:30):
that fallow ground. It could bein a mindset, a way of thinking
fallow ground. The Word talks aboutthat different types of soil in a man's
heart and even even in the mind, there's different strongholds. That stuff gotta
be uprooted. And God loves usso much that he will send people to
profits, you know, the propheticprophetic words. He will send people to
(37:53):
us, even if we're not gettingthe word in church. He will send
him however he needs to send themto get you the truth. And then
somebody else will will come along andwater that set or maybe say the same
thing. Even if you think thatyou are blocking yourself from the truth from
whoever spoke the truth, you'll probablyhear it again from somebody else five years
(38:14):
along the line. He is inhot pursuit of us. He isn't hot.
He is chasing us down because whybecause he loves you. He loves
us, and he wants us inthe Kingdom of God. There's a purpose
that that that gentleman has. There'sa purpose, and I believe that that
was that was God's attempt to reachhim again, but he turned his back
(38:36):
heat and the Bible says, yougo to hell because you don't believe.
You were refused, you reject thetruth. You go to hell because of
that. Yep, And that's justwhat happened David. David once once David
show that Philistine trying to scare theIsraelites. He spoke of who is this
uncircle? Sied Philistine. And sameway, if you've seen a clean vulture
(38:59):
your house and you can see thatyou have a clean house, and you
see a roat, you I gottaget I gotta DeVos gotta die. David
said that ros gotta die. No, my friend don't gotta die, but
that spirit in him had to die. They had to get to step in.
Okay, because you know what,I'm a violent Christian for the Lord,
and you better not try to putme against Jesus on the Bible because
(39:20):
you will lose. That's it casepoint and the way that you can be
able to stand against Christ and notbe tossed to and fro, like the
Scripture says, you stand for Christ. You need the word of God in
you, like you know, youneed to be reading your word and get
get rooted and grounded in the word. You know, and know your scripture,
(39:43):
so you can be able to andwhen things you know, when when
when you hear certain doctrines and thingscome up, just the word will start
coming up, and you know you'llbe able to defend and speak up.
Why because you've been spending time swingthe word. You know, my husband
and get like that overnight. Ittakes time. You know, he's been
reading his word and sowing the wordinto his spirit, you know, and
(40:07):
listening to good word based sound doctrineand teachings and things like that. So
the Bible says that we perish becauseof lack of knowledge. So we need
to constantly be renewing our minds,getting knowledge and educating ourselves on and learning
about our Christ. Are who areJesus is? Because listen, say no,
(40:30):
he knows who Jesus is. Andsome people who don't, who don't
even call themselves believers, they knowthe Bible better than we do. They
know our they know about him.And so we need to challenge ourselves to
learn as much as we can aboutour faith, about everything there is to
know, so when that time comes, we're prepared to give that defense in
(40:51):
gentleness and respect, respectfully and boldlyand confidently, boldly, and sometimes you've
got you got you gotta. Sometimesyou gotta let people know where you stand
and how firm you are. Anddon't you allow anyone to clown you.
When it comes to what Jesus hasdone for you, you better speak up
and give testimony to where you wereand where you are at now. You
(41:14):
might not be where you want tobe, but I bet he done got
you out of a rock in ahard place from time to time, many
of times. And you're still alive, right, You still got breath,
Right, you still got ears tohear this broadcast? Don't you? If
it wasn't for him, you wouldbe in a palm box right now,
still living, trying to call outHallelujah. Don't you dare let any wix
(41:35):
warlock, palm reader, scientists,saint and Warship for Universe follower atheists try
to convince you that Lord Jehovah,Jesus, Adam and the Holy Scriptures ain't
real. It didn't just I didn'tI listen. I didn't and say it
had to flee from you after Ilet it know that I was aware,
of its devices. If I wasAdam, let me tell you something,
that snake we'll never reach Eve.If I was Adam, man and that
(42:00):
snake would have been a bare ofslippers. If it's with me, you
know, listen, we gotta getfrom praise because he got you out of
the ditch. We gotta give himpraise because he got you out the pit.
We gotta give him praise from savingyou from death, from prison and
the lions. Then we gotta givehim praise because the snake, and he
got you out of the snake thesnake pit. Okay, he did it
(42:22):
and did not and and he didit. Yes, and it wasn't some
false southsayer who tried to convince youwith the weak, baseless and lame brand
opinions being ordered by saying to tellyou that Holy Scriptures is not real.
So go ahead, go ahead.Delete me from Facebook, delete me from
your callers, unfriendly from Facebook andig if you want to take me off
(42:46):
your link and LinkedIn whatever it is, Listen, you can, you can,
you can turn your back on me. You can do whatever you want.
Because the only friend I got isin God and my wife. Amen.
I got it from my wife inthere, and then you gotta get
to step in. I don't careif you turn your back on me.
I don't care if you go,because guess what, you'll be back.
(43:06):
You'll be back because guess what.Guess what, guess what on that dead
judgment, when it comes time forthe almighty to ask you who you chose
and you said you didn't know,that's when God's gonna pull out a big
(43:27):
widescreen TV that's the size of auniverse, and he's gonna show you where
this person told you the truth.And then you're not gonna have any excuses.
I'm not trying to get all adark and brimstone, but I pray,
(43:50):
I pray that whatever see that Iplan in them because I'm not accepting
his friends Facebook anymore. Okay.If he's not coming to me telling me
that he accepted you in his life, I'm not I'm not dealing with him
anymore. And then told him whathe needs to know. Come friend,
nay high water, whatever the case. Jesus is my friend. Okay,
He's all that I need. Okay, I'm not with the I'm not with
(44:14):
the bickering in the back and forth. I don't need to do that anymore.
I gave you what you needed.Let's see what you got, all
right, And that's all I gotto say. Good Man, take us
out of our prayer. Oh Amen, Amen, Father, we thank you

know you in a real way.Father, that he'll he'll, he'll,
he'll, he'll. All he'll haveto say is Jesus is real. Some
people just need a divine encounter,supernatural encounter to overtake them. That there's
(45:21):
no way they can deny it.Even you know it's it's sometimes it is
sad because even jesus disciples even deniedhim and they walked with him. So
but you know what I think.I think the Lord that God knows how
to reach each person and whatever heneeds to experience. I think that he
will experience Father and give his lifeand surrender it so he can fulfill his
(45:44):
purpose, because there has to bea mighty call a God on his life
in the mighty name of Jesus.And I also looked up every listener right

just being a raymo word on tonightand Jesus name, we pray, Amen,
(05:42):
amen and amen amen amen. Thereis nothing like there's nothing more sexy
than a woman praying. There isnothing more sexier than a woman that prays,
especially a woman of God. Ohmy god, Oh sorry, anyway,
(06:03):
it's a love chapter, all right, amen, let's get into this
word. So what was it?We have had quite a few topics.
We went from talking about leadership thatwe're talking about love vibe and now we're
(06:24):
talking about standing up for Christ.Because we're living in a time all that
you and I us we need tomake sure our calling and election is sure.
The times are gonna get darker,they're gonna get worse wherever wherever God
has called you and you, wewant to make sure that you're equipped and
that you know how to take astand for the right. What's right on
(06:46):
righteousness and taking a stand ultimately forChrist is being on the righteous side.
Right. Yeah, But she said, yeah, yep, she took the
word right out of my mouth.And what better way to back that up
than by a scripture or Second Corinthiansten, verse five, you want to
read that, ben, Sure,it says we demolish arguments and every pretension
(07:13):
that sets itself up against the knowledgeof God, and we take captive every
thought to make it obedient to Christ. So, you know, it just
hit me. God has talked tome and he said that. You know,
so many people think that this meansthat we're not supposed to be arguing.
We demolished arguments, you know,and that's not what it means.
(07:34):
It doesn't mean that we're not supposedto argue. Whatever the case it was
to say says we demolish ugments andevery pretension that sets itself up against the
knowledge of God. Was it saying. It's saying that when somebody trying to
come against trying trying to come againstthe knowledge of God, us being filled
(07:59):
with Holy Spirit, we can wecan battle back whatever they say. We
can actually just pick it apart withthe knowledge that God gives us. Because
it's more than just the knowledge ofGod, is the wisdom of God,
the wisdom of God, that samewisdom shape the earth, that wisdom made
(08:24):
the earth, that wisdom shaped andmade the universes. You know. So
so when somebody tries to come andtries to tell you something about the Word
of God, whether it's false oror there or they're taking scripture out of
its text or whatever the case.We're but it's pinpoint and see it right
through it and be're like, no, that's not it. And so what
(08:48):
happens is that a lot of timesa lot of Christians think that we're just
supposed to if they get if theyget scriptured wrong, or they preach your
wrong, or they're telling people wrong. We know we're not supposed say anything
that's not true because the Word istelling us that we demolish arguments. Okay,
good, So that we have aresponsibility. We have a responsibility to
(09:09):
speak up. Amen. And whenwe speak up, when when they're by
Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is goingto allow us to say what we need
to say in the way that itneeds to be said. If I may
add, but there's a way thatwe speak up, right, We speak
according to the Word of God,right exactly of course God be based on
the Word of God, and thenHoly Spirit will download into us what to
(09:33):
say and when to say it andhow to say it. Because the Word
is the sword the Spirit. Soif you're speaking scripture now you're not just
coming out of your soul and youremotion with you feel you'll be doing more
damage than what you would be justsaying, like you know what I feel
in this, No, take theword, just like Jesus took the word.
(09:54):
It is written, and you'll bedoing damage. You'll be doing damage
because the word it doesn't lie exactlyand and just as a just as disclaim
a ladies and gentlemen, whenever wewe we talk, and and so forth
and so on, and whenever I'mleading, I don't tell my wife what
we're gonna well, what we're gonnatalk about, or what we're gonna do.
(10:16):
I might have just touched on itwith her, but I normally don't
because I like how I love howthe Holy Spirit flows out of her without
her, you know, having torehearse or anything. So everything that you
see in here is is what whatdo you call that? It's fresh?
And so what was the worst grassrooms? What do you call it? Ram?
Uh? No? No, rayma? And it's also it's organic.
(10:39):
Everything is organic, so right fromthe throne exactly. So so so there's
a word that's called apologetics. Okay, And I never really uh, I
never really liked that word because Ireally, I don't apologet. It's meant
(11:00):
that, you know, you know, Jesus made himself poor, so we're
not supposed to We're supposed to actuallyapologize for the faith that we have,
like you know, we're supposed to, like you know, be humble and
timid and not to say anything,you know, don't speak up, don't
say anything, you know, beingin an apologetic mold. But that's not
(11:24):
what apologetic means in some arenas,right, Okay, apologetic has a whole
different meaning. Apologetic means to reason. It means reason arguments or writings.
It's an in justification of something,Okay, typically normally is in theories or
(11:48):
religious doctrine. So in this case, apologetics, that word actually fits Second
Corinthians ten, verse five, becausewhat it's telling, what it's saying is
that we are justified in speaking upwhen people use the word wrong or speak
against the word we can speak orspeak against Jesus or speak against Christ.
(12:11):
We have we have a right tospeak up. We have a right to
to discuss in the way that theHoly Spirit wants us to discuss about Christ,
about Jesus, about about Adam andI about about uh God and and
(12:31):
about the Word of God. Soso so ask Christians. We have a
right to speak up and say something. Okay. So that being said,
this conversation is going to be basedupon the conversation that I had with a
friend of mine that was I knewsince ankle high. That's how long I
(12:54):
know. I know. I knowthem from my old, old oldhood.
So he's an original, and wego way back. You know, his
his mother. I loved his mother'sfamily, you know, and they loved
being so forth and soone. Hismother has been deceased. But you know
that's how that's how tight we are. Okay. And he recently he recently
(13:22):
requested my friendship on Facebook again.Okay, now I say again, because
he had unfriended me a year ago, about a year ago. Okay.
In fact, you remember the Germanand I went to the hospital to get
him food. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it was him. Okay.
(13:43):
And he's not a follower of Christ, and he doesn't believe in Christ.
He doesn't believe that Christ is theSavior. His theology is really off
kilter. And I had to checkhim many time time for his ignorance because
he's one that he thinks he noscripture, but then when he speaks it,
(14:05):
he doesn't know what he's talking about. But now it has come to
like that he doesn't even believe inthe Bible anymore. Wow, okay.
Yeah, and so let me giveyou an example. He believes that when
Paul first heard Jesus voice and sawthe light, that it wasn't Jesus that
(14:28):
he heard, but it was reallySatan. Okay. So that's how off
kilter that he is. Okay,he must have gotten that from somewhere and
from someone. Yeah. Yeah,it's wrong teaching, right, Okay.
So he also believes that all theBible is based upon Paul, and Paul
only Well did you mayor inter didyou ask him where he got this thinking
(14:52):
from? Like where you got thisinformation from? Well, we're going to
get into that. We're going toget into that. An apologies. So
needless to say, I can't Ican't help but laugh at him sometimes for
making these baseless and ending statements,okay, because and I always pot holes
in his ridiculous assertions, and hegets so upset that that's why he befriends
(15:16):
me on all platforms all the time. Because once you're very mold as you
know, and you know, Ikind of like try to make light of
it. So I'll make jokes outof it, but not jokes that are
but I'll keep it light hearted.But yet and still when you know,
when you try to, when yougo against somebody who you can't break their
(15:41):
joy, you can't break their calmness. That gets you angrier and anger and
anger. So he gets so angrythat he blocks me. Okay, yeah,
so chance, so he decided thathe was good. Don't try to
don't just don't try to do itwith devil's come on, just that's another
(16:04):
conversation. Don't do what y'all,just don't do it anyway. He's the
king of debate, especially when itcomes to the Lord. All right,
comes a crisis, but you bettercome with it and come with it right,
correct, because you will get shutdown. All right. So anyway,
uh needs to say walking in love, y'all, Walking in love so
(16:25):
needs to say, you know,he he I saw his request again,
and you know, as a goodfriend that I am, I I what
do you call it? Accepted it? Accepted his friendship. And of course
I always cheat him in love.And when he's in a buying I'm there
to help him out. He knowsus. Okay, he knows us.
(16:48):
And with that being said, yetagain here's his friend request and yet again
cheating him in love. I acceptit, okay, all right. So
well what we were doing was hewas we was talking amicably, you know,
no problems. You know, hefound out he's a DJ, you
know, allegedly and yeah, yeah, you know, and he and he
(17:11):
was sending me music. Yeah theconnection where we do yeah, yeah,
you know. And and I madesure, you know, I'm walking in
love. So I'm not asking himnothing about scripture. You know, everything
is just friendship being Jesus, yes, yes, So for about a week,
(17:33):
you know, he was sending memusic. What happened was that,
you know the fact that we wereboth from the old school. We were
we were arguing about debating about hiphop, you know, who was the
best, and you know, justhaving a friendly debate about you know,
uh what what rapper he liked,what rapper I like, and and put
(17:55):
them up against each other. Soyou know, we having many conversation basically
right, and the everything was cool. And then one day he started asking
me questions about the Bible again,and he started asking about the Old Testament,
and when he asked me a question, I would tell him about as
much as I knew. I wouldlet him know what this meant and what
(18:21):
that meant. And then he startedgetting into the New Testament, so I
started telling him certain things, andso I was like, wow, maybe
he's you know, he's come tothe light and now he's ready to choose
Christ. You, I mean,you know, and so you know what,
I was just answering all his questionsand then out of nowhere, it
(18:41):
was so random, he said thathe was arguing with a Muslim in another
text, so that he wanted meto hold on for a second. So
I was like, okay, SoI was like arguing with a Muslim?
I was like, why is hearguing with a Muslim? And why he
telling me about it? About thisargument a Muslim for And so when he
(19:07):
came back, which is about likefifteen twenty minutes later, right, he
said that he won the argument againstthe Muslim and he won the argument against
a Christian in the same day,which is me. So I'm like argument,
I'm like, I was like,I'm not arguing with you about anything.
I was like, I was like, I'm not even debating you.
(19:30):
I was like you. I waslike, you're just you was asking me
questions and I was answering you,and he was like, yeah, that's
why, that's why I beat you. He was like, that's why I
beat you, and and and shoutit, shout it down all of your
(19:51):
all of your assertions. And Iwas like, what are you talking about.
I was like, listen, I'mlike, you weren't debating. You
never opened up about debate. Iwas like, I asked you, what
does discernment mean? You never toldme what discernment meant. And I'm just
sitting here waiting for you to giveme the answer on discernment. So then
he started talking about how wise heis and so forth and so on.
(20:17):
He got all this knowledge and heshut down the Muslim and I's shutting down
the Christian And I was like,what are you shutting down? The nasty
started going into Jesus as a phonyand Paul was a fool and the books
that he wrote wasn't true, andthat he said something else about Paul that
(20:37):
I can't remember. But then hestarted saying that I was a Paulindian because
I followed Paul. And I waslike no. I was like, I
don't follow. Paul followed Jesus.I said, Paul followed Jesus. He
and he didn't want anybody following him. He made sure to tell people to
follow Paul. And he was like, yeah, you're just a Pauldian and
(20:59):
you're a slave. And now I'mtrying to be nice here, you know,
and just like, okay, letme just let me just deal with
him. And so what I didwas, you know, it says here
in verse Pter three thirteen, versethirteen to fifteen in the ESV. Can
you read that bad? Now?Who is there to harm you? If
(21:22):
you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for
righteousness sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor
be troubled. But in your heart'shonor Christ, the Lord is holy,
always being prepared to make a defenseto anyone who asks you for a reason,
for the hope that is in you. Yet do it with gentleness and
(21:44):
respect. That part right, thatpart. See, So what it's saying
is, look what it says.It's at first, have no fear nor
be trouble. Then it says,make a defense. Okay, so you
don't have to be afraid to haveno fear. Exactly, we are now
having a debate because now you saidJesus is phony, Paul was a fool.
(22:08):
I'm a Pauldian and I'm a slave, and the books that he wrote
wasn't true. Okay, But thekey here is to do it in a
gentle and respectful manner. Exactly.That's the challenging part. So I kind
of rebuked him by telling them thetruth about Jesus. Yes, I did
not, because because now I understood, Yeah, I understood that he was.
(22:33):
I understood that he obviously is misbeguiled. You know, somebody told him
wrong, you know what I'm saying. And you know I told him.
I told him about the encounter withPaul, and I kind of rebuked him
by telling him the truth about Jesusand about the encounter Paul had with him
(22:53):
when he saw the light and heardhis voice. Okay, but the homie
was persistent with calling out Jesus tobe a phony. Okay. And not
only that, but like I said, the word of God is fake,
yeah, yeah, yep, yep. And so what I did was,
(23:15):
remember I was holding on to thisgentleness and respect part Okay, I try
not to accuse him, accuse himof anything wrong, or be disrespectful to
him. Right, But he kepton going in on me, and then
he said that he won the argument. He kept on saying he won,
he won. So, but mayI interject, sure, okay, I
(23:38):
was going back to the scripture becausethe two things that just for our listener's
sake. Now, we our faithin Christianity is one of our beliefs.
Ism is one that gives. Right, we share. We share our faith.
We don't impose per se. Butif someone asks, then the scripture
is saying, be prepared to havea defense. Right, So there will
(24:00):
come a time where somebody in yourcircle or maybe at your job, they
may see you or watch you orobserve you for a minute and then they
might ask you. So that's alwaysan opportunity for you to share your faith.
Right, There will always be opportunities. But the key is wait for
(24:21):
wait for someone to ask, soyou can be led by the Lord because
you know you're doing it in decencyand in order, and be gentle and
respectful in your response. But weshould always be prepared, be prepared exactly
So, like I said, hewas a persistent. He was accusing me,
(24:45):
he was disrespectful to Christ and isall and all. And I repeated
to him that I was not arguingor debating anything with him, because his
belief is his belief. What webelieve is what he believes. I told
him that if he does I believe, that's on him and it has nothing
to do with me. Okay.So he started, Now he's getting reckless,
(25:07):
okay, and he's getting belligerent,and he's getting obnoxious, obnoxious,
and everything from his mouth was aboutJesus and Paul being phony. And I
kept on telling him, do therewere more people in the Bible than just
Paul. It was Matthew, therewas Luke, there was John. There
(25:27):
was a plethora of profits in theOld Team, in the Old Testament,
So why did you keep harping onPaul? And I was like, you
yet to steal answer my question ofwhat discernment means. So you're not well,
I'm a whether, he say.He said, I'm I'm here to
(25:51):
prove that the word is a fable. There's nothing but fable and lies.
And so what he did he startedsending TikTok videos. He started sending me
TikTok videos to prove his stance,and I'm like, dude, like you're
trying to show me TikTok videos andYouTube videos to prove that what you're saying
(26:15):
is true. I'm like, youcan't even tell me, for the life
of me what the word discernment means. You're not telling me nothing right.
So but every time, you know, I said, I answered all your
questions and I answered everything fully,but you can't even answer one question that
(26:37):
I have. I said, whyhow are you so wise? And you
keep saying the same thing that eitherI'm a Paulinian when there's so many other
different people of the Bible, noa, noa, Noah, you're a Paulinian
and so forth and so on.So at that point, I'm like,
I said, what's going on here? And after a minute that's not asked
that I said, I said,is this exchange fruitful? And I want
(27:04):
you guys to listen up, becausethis is very important. This is what
you need to ask God when you'rein the midst of a conversation with somebody,
or even before you converse with them. Okay, is this exchange truthful?
Was my convo with this person evennecessary? Like, am I gaining
(27:26):
anything from it? Is he gaininganything from it? And what's the point,
what's the point of this conversation thatI'm having with this person? Okay,
remember that, remember that because this, this can this can steer you
from getting into strife, getting intostrife or what's the word saying, throwing
(27:48):
pearls the swine, but or orit could be a fruitful conversation. But
we're still so we're still instructed thoughto give a defense, but be given
if we're asked, right, Imean, it all depends. It all
depends, because sometimes you can bein a situation where somebody is hurting and
(28:11):
then might need some some They mightneed counsel or advismen at that time,
so you might have to come tothat person and ask them. There might
be a moment of there's so manydifferent types of moments that it could be.
It might not be actually in themasking, you might have to ask,
or the situation just might have tobe a where they say, hey,
(28:33):
can I tell you about this Jesusguy, you know what I'm saying.
So you never know, but itcould it could be in the form
of a question. If the personis asking that that's definitely an open door,
right, Okay. So with thatbeing said, so I wasn't frustrated
right back, I wasn't frustrated.I was very patient. But after,
(28:55):
you know, I talked to somebodyfor this long and I see that it's
not getting due to them. Icontinue on, but I'm starting to I'm
starting to wonder what type of spiritand am I dealing with? And that's
when it hit me spirit right,And that doesn't hit me again, spiritual
attack right right, I was actuallygoing through a spiritual attack. I was
(29:21):
going through a demonic attack right thenand there. Because here it is who
else will say that the Word ofGod is not true, who else will
say that the Bible is not true? Who else will say that Jesus is
not it's a phony? Who elsewill say Paul is a phony? Exactly
(29:42):
exactly, So Satan was using myfriend to try to stop me from believing
in Christ, try to stop mefrom believing what Paul taught and the whole
Bible. Once I knew that Satanwas in the midst, I just dug
(30:06):
in and I and I got evenmore brave and defined. Once I know
that Satan is in the midst,oh, what's on the popping. It's
like it's like a like you know, if you clean your house speaking spinding,
then you see a roach in itand you'd be like, uh what
that roaches gotta die? Okay,so that's not mistake. I was like
(30:27):
uh uh, I was like no. I was like no. Satan is
trying to use the homie to tryto dissuade me, to try to convince
me to not believe in God,to not believe in my word. And
that's the same thing that Satan doesto believe this, right, It tries
to suggest that the word of Godis not what, it's not true,
(30:49):
right, It tries to get themnot to believe in his word that and
this is that is what I That'swhat it did to Adam and Eve okay,
and made them believe that the wordsof God's voice were false, that
they wouldn't die, but that theywould surely live like God. But they
were already like God. So itlied in lie. Like how Satan came
(31:12):
to Jesus and tried to make himhurt himself off the mountain to kill himself.
Satan was trying to come at methrough the homi to get me to
stop believing the word. And that'sjust like throwing myself off a mountain,
committing suicide if I don't have theword in my life. This this guy
(31:33):
was gonna say, this fool,But this fool was trying to get me
not to believe in the word ofGod that had gotten me out of a
dry place, that have renewed mybones, in my mind and my mind,
who had gotten me out of debt, who broke the chains of poverty
for me, You broke me outof prison and set me and set me
(31:53):
free a captain to my own sin, set me free from that life,
set me free from life, setme free from Satan, who saved me
from death, hell and Hades,who single handedly rescued me from the warlock
that I was becoming. Who andwho pulled me out of my own thievery
(32:15):
and crookedness and all my bye ways. That's that's who he wanted me to
believe him and stead of the Godthat pulled me out of the wretched so
that I used to be. Youmust be crazy. I was supposed to
believe the person that's on the otherline, who's a wolf and sheep,
(32:36):
who is a wolf in sheep's clothing, tell me that God is faked?
Are you serious? I was like, are you serious? Right now?
So that's this is when I thisis when the defense got turned up a
notch, all right. And Isaid, I said, my God,
you don't even realize it, butyou're doing Satan's work. I said,
(32:59):
you are straight doing what Satan triesto do to every believer. You are
doing the antichrist job for him.I said, you are a part of
the Antichrist. I told him that. I said, you are a Devil's
porn. I said, how doyou like the fact that you are giving
me nothing more than opinion, nofacts, trying to turn me away from
(33:22):
my God and my word that savedme from the registrar that I used to
be, to the nobility of whatthe Blood has made me. That's what
I told him. I said,you are a Satan's child. You are
a child of the devil, andall of your foolish words are carnal and
not of God. They are thework of Satan, who you are.
The son of the Devil is awhisperer. You're whispering rubbish to me.
(33:45):
The Devil's a thief, and you'retrying to steal God's word away from me.
The Devil's a liar. You arelying to me about Jesus being fake,
like you're lying. I said,that's all the Antichrist, my guid.
I was like, you're doing anantichrist, I said, I said,
say it with me, you arethe Antichrist. How do you like
the fact that you're trying to tellme that, I said, I said,
(34:07):
I said, forget, I said, I said, okay. I
said, let's just say, forall sorts of purposes that Paul was the
author of all the Bible. Isaid, Paul believes in Christ, and
Paul tells everybody to follow Christ.So if I'm following Paul, I'm following
Christ anyway. But you are noteven following Christ. You're anti Christ,
(34:29):
so you're doing the devil's work.I was like, you're trying to dissuade
me from believing in God off ofsome TikTok videos. Are you nuts?
I was like no. I waslike. I was like no, I
said, no disrespect. I said, but you're a fool, I said,
because the Bible states that you're afool, I said, I said,
(34:52):
it says in Proverbs twelve fifteen.A stubborn fool considers his own way
the right one. But a personwho listens to advice is wise. That's
what it says in God's Word translation, and the Good News Transition says,
stupid people always think they are right. Whyse people listen to advice. That's
(35:13):
in the Good News Transition, theInternational Standard version that says, the lifestyle
of the fool is right in itsown opinion. But wise is the man
who listens to advice. So youknow what he did, yet what he
always does. He deleted me.He blocked me again. He blocked me
on all platforms, and you knowwhat I did that. You didn't even
(35:36):
know this, But that's when weare ordered the red lib sending and we
sat down and watched the movie.It didn't matter to me. I didn't
think twice, you know why,because we have to. There's got to
be a point where we stand upfor God. There's got to be a
point where when people try to dissuadeus and tear us away from the Word,
we say no, we're gonna standour ground. Good On was thinking
(36:00):
that I forgot where this is inscripture. But it talks about our blood
being on our hands. What isit you know where that is in scripture
about we can have the blood ofothers on our hands. Not speaking the
truth can be held accountable for thatexactly. So we got to speak up,
(36:22):
we got to speak out. Andsometimes we have well to those that
know and know not and don't dowhat they know or don't don't do what
they know is right in that time. It's also called sin disobedience. Wow,
that is deep right. God isleading you to do something and say
something, and fear or whatever itis is preventing you from being obedient.
(36:44):
When the Holy Spirit is is supposedto give us boldness, we're giving us
power to testify. That's what it'sfor. My husband is a clear example
of the Holy Spirit giving power,endowing us with that power to be witnesses.
We have to be witnesses and wecan't be afraid to speak the word
of God. We can't be afraidfor people to unfriend us on Facebook or
(37:08):
delete us. You know, andit might be for a season. I
know there's been a lot of people. My husband has spoken some hard truth
to even me. I wanted todelete my husband, but they've come back
around full circle, calling him backagain. You know after that, you
know there's some it's called fallow ground. Sometimes I gotta that gotta be uh
(37:30):
that fallow ground. It could bein a mindset, a way of thinking
fallow ground. The Word talks aboutthat different types of soil in a man's
heart and even even in the mind, there's different strongholds. That stuff gotta
be uprooted. And God loves usso much that he will send people to
profits, you know, the propheticprophetic words. He will send people to
(37:53):
us, even if we're not gettingthe word in church. He will send
him however he needs to send themto get you the truth. And then
somebody else will will come along andwater that set or maybe say the same
thing. Even if you think thatyou are blocking yourself from the truth from
whoever spoke the truth, you'll probablyhear it again from somebody else five years
(38:14):
along the line. He is inhot pursuit of us. He isn't hot.
He is chasing us down because whybecause he loves you. He loves
us, and he wants us inthe Kingdom of God. There's a purpose
that that that gentleman has. There'sa purpose, and I believe that that
was that was God's attempt to reachhim again, but he turned his back
(38:36):
heat and the Bible says, yougo to hell because you don't believe.
You were refused, you reject thetruth. You go to hell because of
that. Yep, And that's justwhat happened David. David once once David
show that Philistine trying to scare theIsraelites. He spoke of who is this
uncircle? Sied Philistine. And sameway, if you've seen a clean vulture
(38:59):
your house and you can see thatyou have a clean house, and you
see a roat, you I gottaget I gotta DeVos gotta die. David
said that ros gotta die. No, my friend don't gotta die, but
that spirit in him had to die. They had to get to step in.
Okay, because you know what,I'm a violent Christian for the Lord,
and you better not try to putme against Jesus on the Bible because
(39:20):
you will lose. That's it casepoint and the way that you can be
able to stand against Christ and notbe tossed to and fro, like the
Scripture says, you stand for Christ. You need the word of God in
you, like you know, youneed to be reading your word and get
get rooted and grounded in the word. You know, and know your scripture,
(39:43):
so you can be able to andwhen things you know, when when
when you hear certain doctrines and thingscome up, just the word will start
coming up, and you know you'llbe able to defend and speak up.
Why because you've been spending time swingthe word. You know, my husband
and get like that overnight. Ittakes time. You know, he's been
reading his word and sowing the wordinto his spirit, you know, and
(40:07):
listening to good word based sound doctrineand teachings and things like that. So
the Bible says that we perish becauseof lack of knowledge. So we need
to constantly be renewing our minds,getting knowledge and educating ourselves on and learning
about our Christ. Are who areJesus is? Because listen, say no,
(40:30):
he knows who Jesus is. Andsome people who don't, who don't
even call themselves believers, they knowthe Bible better than we do. They
know our they know about him.And so we need to challenge ourselves to
learn as much as we can aboutour faith, about everything there is to
know, so when that time comes, we're prepared to give that defense in
(40:51):
gentleness and respect, respectfully and boldlyand confidently, boldly, and sometimes you've
got you got you gotta. Sometimesyou gotta let people know where you stand
and how firm you are. Anddon't you allow anyone to clown you.
When it comes to what Jesus hasdone for you, you better speak up
and give testimony to where you wereand where you are at now. You
(41:14):
might not be where you want tobe, but I bet he done got
you out of a rock in ahard place from time to time, many
of times. And you're still alive, right, You still got breath,
Right, you still got ears tohear this broadcast? Don't you? If
it wasn't for him, you wouldbe in a palm box right now,
still living, trying to call outHallelujah. Don't you dare let any wix
(41:35):
warlock, palm reader, scientists,saint and Warship for Universe follower atheists try
to convince you that Lord Jehovah,Jesus, Adam and the Holy Scriptures ain't
real. It didn't just I didn'tI listen. I didn't and say it
had to flee from you after Ilet it know that I was aware,
of its devices. If I wasAdam, let me tell you something,
that snake we'll never reach Eve.If I was Adam, man and that
(42:00):
snake would have been a bare ofslippers. If it's with me, you
know, listen, we gotta getfrom praise because he got you out of
the ditch. We gotta give himpraise because he got you out the pit.
We gotta give him praise from savingyou from death, from prison and
the lions. Then we gotta givehim praise because the snake, and he
got you out of the snake thesnake pit. Okay, he did it
(42:22):
and did not and and he didit. Yes, and it wasn't some
false southsayer who tried to convince youwith the weak, baseless and lame brand
opinions being ordered by saying to tellyou that Holy Scriptures is not real.
So go ahead, go ahead.Delete me from Facebook, delete me from
your callers, unfriendly from Facebook andig if you want to take me off
(42:46):
your link and LinkedIn whatever it is, Listen, you can, you can,
you can turn your back on me. You can do whatever you want.
Because the only friend I got isin God and my wife. Amen.
I got it from my wife inthere, and then you gotta get
to step in. I don't careif you turn your back on me.
I don't care if you go,because guess what, you'll be back.
(43:06):
You'll be back because guess what.Guess what, guess what on that dead
judgment, when it comes time forthe almighty to ask you who you chose
and you said you didn't know,that's when God's gonna pull out a big
(43:27):
widescreen TV that's the size of auniverse, and he's gonna show you where
this person told you the truth.And then you're not gonna have any excuses.
I'm not trying to get all adark and brimstone, but I pray,
(43:50):
I pray that whatever see that Iplan in them because I'm not accepting
his friends Facebook anymore. Okay.If he's not coming to me telling me
that he accepted you in his life, I'm not I'm not dealing with him
anymore. And then told him whathe needs to know. Come friend,
nay high water, whatever the case. Jesus is my friend. Okay,
He's all that I need. Okay, I'm not with the I'm not with
(44:14):
the bickering in the back and forth. I don't need to do that anymore.
I gave you what you needed.Let's see what you got, all
right, And that's all I gotto say. Good Man, take us
out of our prayer. Oh Amen, Amen, Father, we thank you
for the sobering messages gone forth.Father, and I just thank you Lord
(44:34):
that we had ears to hear.Father, what the spirit is saying,
Lord, to your body, toyour church. Lord, in the mighty
name of Jesus, that we willtighten up in the areas that we need

that my husband had an altercation withLord, that he will come to
know you in a real way.Father, that he'll he'll, he'll,
he'll, he'll. All he'll haveto say is Jesus is real. Some
people just need a divine encounter,supernatural encounter to overtake them. That there's
(45:21):
no way they can deny it.Even you know it's it's sometimes it is
sad because even jesus disciples even deniedhim and they walked with him. So
but you know what I think.I think the Lord that God knows how
to reach each person and whatever heneeds to experience. I think that he
will experience Father and give his lifeand surrender it so he can fulfill his
(45:44):
purpose, because there has to bea mighty call a God on his life
in the mighty name of Jesus.And I also looked up every listener right

cut off, he cut off.Do not leave this word. Do not

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships.
