 refuse I just want him I just want my dad for a passion is enough for me I don't need anyone as I'm here today I'm gonna be talking about the third eye boom the third eye you are eternal life because you are searching scripture this is not the word can I say something to you that you maybe never thought of Jesus was God's type he sent his only and his first son on a maybe so that he could get an entire family of people so I'm sitting here I'm praying and it gives me a word I want to share with you guys one of the things that the Lord show me the Lord show me this wave doesn't want to share this dream with you that I had it God show me that God put this in my heart this morning what is your name we bind the spirit of blindness now come out blindness coming on booty cheeks we don't make it rain on strippers we only reverence one stripper now I know this is messed with a lot of people theology so if you see some of this stuff he just makes you wonder why do we keep seeing this stuff and the only reason why we keep seeing this kind of stuff here in this concept of people keep watching this concept keep listening this kind of stuff keep frequenting these places that have preachers that preach this kind of stuff now let me tell you what actually set me off can just tell you what set me off it wasn't even that it was the thought of what has happened to us not just in America but just globally but specifically here in America there is this wave of absolute stupidity this wave of ignorance this wave of moronic activity this wave of idiotic thought that is just making its way not across just our country but across the globe how many of you have heard of a guy by the name of James Clug he does he's a conservative he goes around and he does these different interviews on different topics and he tries to see what the people who he's interviewing what they think if they even thought these things through and so I want to play a clip from something that he is asking and I'll tie this in in a second but I want y'all to see this and I want you to hear just the idiocy in some of these people's argumentation these are young folks in Oregon obviously it's going to be a little bit left-leaning but this is the University of Oregon Oregon University I'm not sure how it goes Oregon University University Oregon Oregon these are college students and the question that he's asking has to do with is it okay or should children children be able to consent to having or taking puberty blockers do you think it saves kids lives to stop their bodies from going through puberty I think it does how come because there's studies showing that like people who transition who are pre-transition in there's literally no state it says that puberty blockers saves anyone's lives and so again she hadn't thought this out children can't consent to puberty blockers why why do you think they can't well because they're 10 years old I mean they still believe in Santa Claus and Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy and we're giving them an experimental drug which has never been approved for this purpose it's actually a cancer drug that was proved for prostate cancer for endometriosis and women same drug has been given to pedophiles to chemically castrate them because they take their testosterone to zero they give them a drug it's normally drug called Lupron and it stops their bodies from going into puberty so girls breasts won't grow their hips don't get wider boys penises don't grow it affects their bone density it affects all sorts of things now this isn't something that you would have thought of not even 100 years ago 10 years ago 20 years ago this just who would have thought of sub of such things even being a possibility but listen to the young people's their response but we're stopping the physical development of children based on what like the whole point of being who you are isn't like part of what our country stands for do you think there's a right or a wrong answer to that question I don't think so I think that sometimes I it all depends on on your stance it depends on how your life is going I guess like we're all living our own separate life is going at like 10 years old I don't know it's such everything is kind of controversial nowadays now it shouldn't be controversial and this is just really just agonizing to hear how stupid that and I'm sorry to be I'm gonna be a little bit blunt today I forgive me but it's just absolutely stupid whoever is paying for these children's education you need each money back because it's not working we're talking about puberty blockers what age must you be to block puberty in other words you cannot block puberty to someone who is 20 years old they are past puberty so we're talking for girls possibly as young as eight or nine for boys 10 or 11 these are kids who don't know anything about anything I mean literally the silliest people on the planet who don't try to be silly they at their at the height of their wisest moment they're still children they're still silly they're still goofy their children that's that's what children are immature and so this isn't an argument what's frustrating though is that it's become an argument that's a problem what's frustrating is that we have to even entertain this foolishness and I can promise you this guys at some point in time the sanity that we used to hold will be gone what we used to think was just making sense just obvious will be by the wayside you're gonna watch this country and virtually I wouldn't say every other country because other countries are dragging their feet on it which is a good thing but you're gonna watch this country in other Western countries look back in 20 years 30 years from now 40 years from now and just think my god this is not the country that I recognize these are not the thoughts that I recognize well why do I bring this up and what does it have to do with smart Christians channel well the same thing is happening in the church the same thing is happening with us as things that you just never would have thought about this kind of stuff I'll go back to this but as you watch these clips I want you to just to see if you can pick out anything one thing find one thing that is in the Bible by the way thank you for binge watching I appreciate that appreciate the kind words thank you sir I appreciate that but try to find one just one thing that you say you know what yep that right there that's in the Bible just help me out I haven't seen one in any of these clips but see if you can find one my wife hates when I say this but I'm gonna say it anyway she's she hates when I say when I throw out a challenge and I say that if you can prove me wrong on this particular challenge I'll delete the challenge I'm gonna delete the channel I'm deleting this channel if you can prove anything that was said or done in that little clip by his name is Apostle again we've got Apostle everywhere on every corner there's an Apostle here's an Apostle there's Apostle everywhere Apostle Apostle everybody is an Apostle I should change the name of this channel to the smart Apostles channel we would be at we would have a whole new set of moderators yeah matter of fact we wouldn't need you guys all of you would leave because you wouldn't you would want to hear some sound teaching so all you would leave but it'd be okay because there would be 500,000 new watchers because it's the smart Apostles channel and I would have 500,000 ignorant followers listening to me say everything that is nonsensical and just absolute stupid because hey I want something and you come to the Apostle Apostle Corey Minor you know what I think I like the way that sounds Apostle Corey Minor can I be honest with you feels kind of makes me tingly a little bit thinking about that makes me tingle a little bit of thing about that thank you Melissa but I appreciate the Super Chat but you're probably gonna want it back after I change this to the smart Apostles channel Apostle Corey Minor and now when you hear this sound that would be me saying get ready for your blessing get ready for your anointing get ready for your miracles it would say instead of love it learn it live it it would say I don't know cast it claim it name it all of that yeah we might do we might we might do that but my wife hates when I say if you if you can prove this and I only say it in in cases where there's absolutely no possibility of being proven wrong but there's nothing that that that that's happening there that's remotely biblical tell me now we've played this next clip before this is by another another well-known Apostle another well-known Apostle and I can't believe this person has not I they should come out and apologize for this just repent you know what I don't know what I was thinking even even the worst of the Apostles you don't see them well I don't know I don't know they they all seem to love her that is the great Apostle Catherine this is this is if I don't care how many times you see this is still pretty cringe-worthy right I have a gift to make this anointing known this anointing now this is different we want God to use us to reach them and to bring them to you so that they may be healed and delivered and be directed into God's will for their life it is only because of you Baba we would be nothing without you we know and recognize that you hold the keys for America and only you and receive you receive the real Jesus and receive from the real Jesus through you we give ourselves we lay down ourselves we surrender and submit to you we plant the seed at your feet daddy do not for God to have our way with us to serve you wow if that's all it takes listen you can get you can get a little naive ladies just my car I can be the dog on Apostle Dr. Reverend Prophet Corey minor of the ball-headed cult yes I can and listen I would I'd be swimming in the money I would I wouldn't have to worry about any bills ever again that everything would be taken care of everything would be taken care of let me pray about that for a second let me let me go let me into the throne of heaven to see if I could get a response from God yeah because what I would like to be able to have you know what kind of power I'd like to be able to have I would like to be able to do this this is Andre Bersony he is I don't know if he's Mexican I don't know if he's he speaks Spanish so I don't know I don't you all tell me better that I could then that I could tell you I had just recently heard about the guy and listen the guy has a good given he could knock the entire crowd up he has Benny Hinn beat Benny Hinn might knock the first two or three rolls over he's knocking virtually the entire stadium over so he is he's up there Joshua listen brother listen let me help you I apologize for blasphemy your Lakers I do I apologize although I started off as a Laker fan it's just of recent that I've noticed that your team has just gone another way but anyway thank you I like that yeah daddy Cory yeah that's what she called him she said daddy papa it's just but this how this is how this wave of stupidity has taken over and no one has called us out not even even from here's the sad part here is the sad part when you compare her and the other foolishness to a Stephen Ferdick what Stephen Ferdick seems tame Stephen Ferdick seems okay what he says and does is is is fine and so saying this doesn't draw the ire of people that are trying to be sound exeges the power of God was in Jesus the healing power of God the restoring power of God the same power that made demons flee was in Nazareth but Jesus could not release it because it was trapped in their unbelief and there's one thing that even Jesus can't do one thing that even the Son of God can't do even Jesus cannot override your unbelief well that's just wrong that makes him not God if Jesus can't do that then he's not God but no one is harping on that because of this other stuff it's the problem is this we've gotten to the point to where we just don't care about the word and here's why I why I compare the two because what's happening in the church is it parallels with what's happening in society you can say things such as well we shouldn't try to put God in a box and say what he would or would not do things like that but when we think about this this kind of foolishness guys let's think about this guys is a little bit older than 100 years old about 100 or so years ago you see the you see the rise of this carousel this Pentecostal charismatic movement where people are wanting the gifts wanting to have the power of the Lord let me answer this question this is this is an interesting question the atl flippers ask do you believe in personal prophecy and if so what does that look like well what do you mean about personal prophecy mean someone saying to you hey the Lord told me this the Lord is the Lord has said this spoken to me about spoken to you about spoken to me about you about this I'll put it this way I'll have to see it to believe it because can I say can I tell you what what what we see happening what we see happening is now by the way do I believe in demonic activity sure the the Bible is clear on that there's demonic activity but I also believe in angelic activity I believe in heavenly activity so let's say you all would agree that the enemy is against us the enemy would do any and everything that he can to thwart us and thwart the cause of Christ right what would you say about a person who might be contemplating plays in their faith in Christ what would you say about a person who is even a new believer an actual genuine believer the enemy can do one try to do one two things do his very best to stop it from happening or to give that person a miserable life well what happens if the enemy does this would you also agree that the enemy has people on the payroll you all believe that the devil has people on the payroll meaning that there are people who whether they know it or they or they don't consciously or subconsciously recognize who their father is who their Lord is that's the enemy that's the devil there are people that are doing the the devil's bidding and so let's say you got one of these scam artists who's just raking in the dough who is actually maybe he actually is hearing from the enemy so let me just pick a person let's just let's just say cg he goes up to cg this person goes cg and says the Lord has told me or said some things about cg that cg hadn't hadn't revealed but because the enemy can the enemy can see what the enemy can see what i'm doing the enemy can see what you're doing the enemy can see what you've done what i've done in the past and let's say the enemy tells this conjurer this liar this servant of the enemy of the devil tells him some things i don't know how but tells him some things about cg and cg's like whoa wait a minute how do you know that now it's one thing to know the past it's quite something different to know the future so what would that do to a person who is either i'm not i'm not saying cg but someone who's immature or someone who's not a not a believer that would cause them to believe in the power of that person and also what that person is saying let me give you let me give you an example of some of this happening this was an ax eight here we here we've got a man named simon who formerly was practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of samarit claiming to be someone great that was simon he was claiming to be someone great and they all from the smallest of the greatest were giving attention to him saying this man is what is called the great power of god and they were giving him attention because he had for a long time astonished him with his magic arts so that can happen that can happen what we rarely see is someone giving a prophecy that one aligns with the bible two is even something negative it's always something positive remember in jeremiah jeremiah is prophesying to the people these prophesied to the southern kingdom uh they're getting ready to go into exile there are these false prophets that wrote that rise up and they want to give these positive prophecies these positive prophecies that say oh no god god will deliver us god will not leave us that god will not take us into captivity jeremiah said nope you're going to you are going into captivity marry have kids you're going to be there for 70 years the false prophets said no you're not well we know the k we know the story they were false prophets will always give you something nice to say when was the last time you heard a prophet say hey listen the lord has come to take your life the lord is angry with you and you really hear that it's always about something good and really if you do this for me if you bless me a lot of times you really have a good prophecy coming your way that happens a lot but in terms of personal prophecy for me i've heard people say things like uh there's an anointing on you or the lord says this or the lord is going to use you oftentimes if you are a man and you show up to church more than twice a month if you have good attendance well then somebody's going to see the lord all over you because you're doing what you're supposed to be doing right they're going to think that hey something special about this guy the lord is working in this person he carries himself correctly which is which is kind of odd it says something about our society that if you just do what you're supposed to do they'll think something special about you happened a lot or if you get up and preach if i say something and it sounds like it goes and jives with scriptures which is supposed to well then hey the lord has called you that i can't tell you how many times i've heard that uh most cases i just dismiss it because i see it happen all the time so i haven't gotten one yet truth be told i've i've i've i've taken it back i've had some but i don't know if they were from god or just them just you know seeing young man in church and just going along with that i have no idea uh so i don't know i don't know when someone says the lord told me then you know what have him tell me i i i love the lord just as much as you um i speak to him and so i just want to hear from him um now when they when they say something to me like that i keep on moving as though i haven't i'll ponder it and keep doing what i know to do so the bible says it doesn't say to seek seek the gifts especially the gift of prophecy uh what it does say is this this phrase is in there it says malondahena no malondahena prophetuete which is rather in order that you prophesy in other words first christians 14 and 141 and 5 says that uh seek these gifts so that in doing so you would prophesy and the prophesy is not prophecy is not the gift of prophecy it's the in doing so that you would give god a real revelation from god that's the point of that of those two passages so because it would go counter to what he just said about seeking the gifts the holy spirit distributes these gifts as he wills not how we want to so we can't pick and choose what gift we want but what we should seek to do is seek to edify the body what edifies the body a revelation of god are you with me so that being the case would you say um real soon jonathan real soon real soon but if we had some sort of desire to hold to god's word we'd be okay but we don't we don't and so we'll say well who am i to say what god will or won't do and we'll talk about certain moves of god that we see i don't discount that god can do anything as a matter of fact do i believe that god heals absolutely i believe that there are still some miraculous things that god may do somebody who had cancer stage four cancer now they're healed well the doctor didn't walk around saying i'm a healer do i think that there are some of these men that laying hand on people that they hit they're healing no i haven't seen i haven't seen that yet again we think back to the issue with bethel church and bill johnson the lady who had the three toes that were missing well here's what we know she's a woman what do we know about women today modern women wherever she goes whether it's an apple or an android she's got a phone in her back pocket front pocket uh in her purse she's got a phone somewhere she likes taking pictures so she would have taken pictures and would have had a medical diagnosis of these three toes missing and when she sees these toes growing back and she calls someone and says hey did you see what happened she would have taken pictures video it'd be all over the internet all over abc mbcc vs news so so call me sceptic because i am but the issue is though we see more and more of this stuff happening we see this happening over and over and over and over again why because people want some kind of sign people want some sort of power uh thank you elijah appreciate that people want some powers matter of fact listen to another apostle by the way another apostle who i think i told you that i was invited to come there but i couldn't the reason why i could not go to this person this this is what i this is what i would have missed or what i would have witnessed had i gone but i couldn't because it was my wife and i's anniversary and so i could not go it'd be kind of weird hey honey for anniversary let's go see uh apostle josh was settlement that would not yeah i'd be in trouble would not be a good anniversary celebration for me so but this is what i would have missed i understand it beat about spiritual empowerment i know what it means to be anointed i know what it means to find power with god they always know what they they have to pose as the spiritual authority they have to oppose and oppose themselves as the the spiritual heavyweight i know what it means to be anointed i when you listen to their language when you listen to it where do we see the the actual apostles the one in the bible the one that we all can agree are apostles when do we see them talking and acting like this when do we see paul walking around i know how awesome might we don't really see that do it we see them being humble we see them being down the earth so we don't we don't we don't see that in them but we see that in these people there's no time to discuss with you my journey into the ministry of power and the miraculous i have watched people pray sincerely so for power i have watched people fast sincerely so for power i've watched people cry i've watched people carry seeds to a man of god for power and all these are powerful principles and yet at the end of all these spiritual activities they never seem to contact genuine spiritual power now before it continues my question is this my question has always been this what do you mean by power what sort of power are these people praying for what sort of power do you imagine them getting what do you mean by power what sort of power that's what that's what i'm interested in finding out what do you mean by power and for many years i kept asking what could be wrong what is wrong with a man fasting so much desiring the power of god what is wrong with a man praying for extended periods desiring the power well first of all desiring desiring desiring if i can say it correctly if i can get the power to speak correctly desiring the power of god do we see that in the bible where where where does that who who in the bible saved jesus has the power of god it's pretty short list it's pretty short list if we were just to name all the people who have the power of god other than jesus we don't even need we don't even need one hand we don't even need one finger there's no one that has the power of god save god power of god what is wrong with using your seed as an expression of honor to connect to an anointing why then is my life still bankrupt of genuine spiritual empowerment because what you're looking for you're not going to get in what you have is not what you want that's the problem that's why your life is bankrupt of true power because you don't know what real power is people are not satisfied with what god has done that's just a fact people are not satisfied with the power that they've been given it's not enough i'll come i'll come back in a second but again does god still have power does he get does he reveal his power he absolutely does he absolutely does does he always do it through a man not necessarily i believe god heals i do some of these other people if you've got it well then show it because every time that god demonstrates power in the bible everyone knew it think about it this way again guys because everybody's one of these supernatural powers how many people in the bible really came with a ministry of power a ministry of signs and wonders let's work our way through first of all the very first person that we see in the bible with a ministry of signs and wonders would be who moses and then at the end of his ministry we see joshua picking up the very end but basically moses after that who's the next person or persons that we see we see elijah and elijah so how many hundreds of years from moses to elijah and elijah then after that several hundred years again the next time that we see someone who has a ministry of of signs and wonders would be jesus now all throughout this time we see signs and wonders by heaven we see gideon experiencing the power of god we see david we see abraham but we don't see it at the hands of man so we see jesus and then after jesus who do we see we see we see the apostles but that's that's it we don't see everyone else with that let me just and that that's fine rico t who i believe you you seem to be of the charismatic persuasion which is fine which is fine you're in the right place rico says you say you believe in healing but have you actually laid hands and see god honor your prayer i told you all before there was some time ago where i was playing basketball with a friend he passed out collapsed um and he was out for for a little bit laid my hands on and started praying and he just set up real quick was that me was that my prayer was i don't know i don't know do i walk around acting you know saying that i have the power now what do i do every time that that i that someone is sick what do i do that someone is going through something i do put my hands on them and pray for them but then it's up to god now my question is have you done so and i want some verified proof and i want you telling me that someone had a headache and it's gone to someone had um cancer and no and no one no one no one can verify it see rico what i'm saying is this everyone keeps saying that hey it's normal see people getting healed but how come how come you all see it but all of us that want to see we don't ever see it and we're christian we're saved by the way if you see how much peace i have in my life i haven't had a bad day in years and i mean that i mean when things are going bad my wife would say like hey what because it's okay i'm good because to go through what i've gone through rico from the time i was born up into just a few years ago couldn't help but develop my faith i would put my faith up against any other faith healers on the planet and i'm not bragging i just know how content i am with christ because whether i'm up or whether i'm down rico i have learned to be content you know why because i've recognized whether i'm going through it or coming out of it or whether i'm in it or getting ready to start another phase of trouble christ is with me so i'm good that's the kind of faith that i have i wish that you and others would have that sort of phase to where you have to see a sign or wonder you've got to seek signs rico hear the people that jesus says want to see these kind of signs he says an evil an evil an adulterous generation seeks after signs now there will be a sign that's given rico there will be a sign that's given what does he say the sign will not be given except the sign of jonah and he left them and went away what's the sign of jonah the greatest sign the greatest miracle the greatest one we can ever hope to see that is christ dead buried and resurrected and then ascended but that's not enough for some people no not enough of a sign for me i don't want to place my faith i want to i want some right now miracles i want to see something right now and you can keep saying that that you've seen them and so forth whatever please help us because every miracle that we see in the bible everyone knew about it think about that for a second rico and everyone else every time we see god show his mighty hand everyone around saw it the believers as well as the unbelievers as a matter of fact it caused the unbelievers to become believers how come in all these places in all these church meetings these miracles are happening and the community is not transformed the community is not changed we have to get out of this stupid mindset of looking for stupid signs when god wants to show it we'll see it and we'll know it we don't have to go looking for it the problem is what you're hungry for is not for him it's for those things some of our people are prime candidates if the devil were to take them up to the high pinnacle of the temple and show them all that he can give they would where can i sign up because it's something for them that's the power that many folks are looking for they want to claim to have gone somewhere to have done something to be something that's why you see people like this guy alan did the deal didio saying things like how he's gone to heaven i can hear him speak through his word it's as audible and it's clear it's as clear as an audible voice is what i mean to say so traditionally god just speaks to me through his word it's just i'm a word guy and so it's just through the word and so it's very uncomfortable for me to bring a message like this where the lord in in a in a night vision or in a dream took me to heaven and for a very brief moment to share one particular message with me that was so urgent so vital it really changed everything in in our ministry and in our life can i take where he didn't go let me tell you where he did not go he did not go to heaven he did not let me tell you where everyone else who says they're gonna have and haven't gone they hadn't gone to heaven or hell stop with the stupidity guys stop believing the stupidity we don't have to be so gullible that we need to we want to live by care do you know why the porn industry is so great kind of weird me go from wildcourt what a segue to go from this to porn but let me tell you why the porn industry is so great because people live vicariously through those porn actors and same thing people live through these people these charlton say that i've gone to heaven i've gone to hell well you may have thought you did but you didn't and why does god need to take you to heaven or hell when he's got the word remember the man says that jesus who jesus telling the story about the man who goes to hell well let me at least go back and tell my brothers and my family he says no they've got the word that ain't enough then so be it you will stay where you are you go to hell you're staying in hell you go to heaven you're staying in heaven that's what it is stop with the made up stories stop with the things that one can't be validated to why has god always taken all the people who have bad doctrine in heaven why are all the miracles and all the signs and all the wonders happening only through people with bad doctrine someone to help me out why is that the case well they don't want to reconcile what they're saying to people like us now they don't want to be tested however the bible does say jesus says this statement jesus jesus says this in revelation now he's actually rebuking the church but he says i know your deeds and your toil and your perseverance and that you cannot tolerate evil men huh good thing cannot tolerate evil men and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles you test these apostles and they are not and you found them to be false should we test these people who work who call themselves apostles i think we should i think we should test them but we don't instead people get upset because we do test them let me tell you what we see though we see people running around who want these signs who want these miracles who want these wonders who want to have power but this isn't the first time guys this this isn't the first time paul you're right paul paul um had a vision where he says he went he was taking the third heaven whether he was taking a vision or he went bodily i think it was more likely vision um because to go to heaven you've got to have this glorified body you cannot be before him in an unrighteous state so but that's paul that's paul and by the way what does paul do what does paul do in his visit to heaven or his vision of heaven that is different from everyone else's vision of heaven they come back trying to describe it and say but paul doesn't he said i can i can describe it that being aside this isn't the first time we've seen this kind of stuff no this is not the first time that we've seen people not being satisfied with what god is doing this is normal in the land of foolishness that's where we live thank you marcus i appreciate that this is normal guys this is where we see this this has been happening how long has it been happening where people have not i've not been satisfied with what god is doing uh for a long time as a matter of fact let's go to numbers chapter 11 we're going back how far back way back almost finished the song we're going way back to numbers chapter 11 y'all recall this the rabble who are among them had greedy desires say that again who had greedy desires and also the sons of israel wept again and said who will give us meat to eat we remember the fish which we used to eat free in egypt the cucumbers and the melons and the leaks and the onions and the garlics but now our appetite is gone there is nothing at all to look at except this manner god all you're doing is giving us this old funky stinky stale yuck manner that's all god we are sick and tired of what you've given us god what you've given us is not enough god we want more god we could have stayed where we were god we had it better in egypt god we were eating better god feed us like you love us show us something god if you are god this is what was happening because we can never be satisfied we can never be satisfied he gave he took them out listen these folks were in bondage they came out from one being out of bondage but two having wealth that they didn't have before and now they're literally on a train on a bus being piloted been driven by god that's not enough though god we've seen your awesome wonders and your power but we want to see more we need more and the manner that you're bringing to us every day so that we're not hungry and enough matter of fact we are hungry we want some more complaining greedy little bums that we are how stupid are we how stupid are we so what does he do i'm gonna i tell you what i'm gonna do i'm gonna i'm gonna rain quail i'm gonna give you some i'm gonna give you chick filet every day you're gonna have some quail sandwiches chick filet every day even on chick filet and we'll be closed on sunday's but we'll have enough for you on sunday's chick filet thank you uh robert 2z who has the robert 2z has absolutely the best listen if you was in prison that's a good prison name that's a good name for the yard robert 2z appreciate that uh but that's what they're doing it's not enough your word ain't enough we want more we want more we want more if you ain't got more we'll find we'll make ourselves a golden calf we'll make our we'll go after other gods we want to see something if you ain't doing it we're dawg on it i know what you did let the old saying what have you done for me lately what what signs have you shown for me lately i need more why why do you need a sign riko tea in the chats why do i need a sign why do i need a what i need to to see some power why do i need to see a miracle why can't this be enough like newborn babies long for the pure milk of the word so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation if you have that is that is that is that is if you have tasted the kindness of the lord if you have tasted the kindness of the lord that's good enough you know what we might find out you know we might find out some of you guys may not have ever tasted the kindness of the lord yeah you know why i say that because you relish in the stupidity and not in the splendor of the lord i just made it up by the way that that's that's my that ought to be on some sort of rap some christian rap lyric yeah that's what that should be on you relish in the stupidity instead of the splendor of the lord that's what you you should taste that and want more and more and guess what there's always a healthy dose of the lord in his word always a healthy dose of it but nope sick of it sick of it i was doing bed before i would say sick of it the work the word is not enough i need to see some power but what does paul say he says all scripture is inspired by god and that those scriptures that were inspired by the way another sign another wonder another miracle the word of god word of god the word say say it with say it with me guys the word of god not the word of bobby not the word of frank not the word of sue not the word of sally not the word of herman not the word of hilda not the word of ethyl not the word of of Gertrude, by the way, whatever happened to those old names? Gertrude, Betty Hill, whatever happened to those names? Not the word of anyone else, but the word of God. That's a sign, that's a miracle, that's a wonder. How do I know? Because it was inspired and we still have the message preserved for us. I can get the word of God in his full power right now just like they did 2,000 years ago. How awesome is that? And it's just as powerful, it's just as comforting, it's just as soothing, it's just as inspiring to those who are his. If indeed, as Paul says, if indeed you have tasted it. That might, that's why Jesus says, not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, he says, yeah, you've done all these different things, but I never knew you. Paul said, let him examine himself to make sure that he does have Christ. Some of you guys are gonna have to actually just, you know what, do a self-examination, look at yourself. Do I really have, am I happy, am I satisfied if nothing else ever happens? Now, when you make that statement, it's a hard statement to make. And granted, granted, I've had some help in making the statement because I can say, Lord, if you'd ever do anything for me, then I'm happy. And then what does he do? Don't do anything for me, make me happy. Corey, you gonna sit in this cell and rot. I'm gonna make you spend time with me. If you have the mindset that if you don't do anything else for me, one, God is gonna put that to the test so that you can know and so that others can know. Cause see, I'm happy whether I see a miracle or not. I relish and love the Lord and will preach about him whether I see a sign of wonder or not. If I see three toes roll back or not, I praise God if my mother gets cancer and daddy, I mean, not cancer, my father gets cancer and daddy healed. Praise him. Mother has a stroke and dies. Praise him, praise him. Some of you guys will sing those songs, but don't really mean it. You praise them hoping that God takes your word for it, but God knows you better than that. God knows you ain't worth, your word ain't worth two cents. You'll say it as long as you got some money in your pocket. You'll say it as long as the bills are paid. You'll say it as long as folks think highly of you. But then when it's all been dumped on you and the storm is blowing and you're being tossed to and fro, yeah, you got Jesus in the boat with you, but Jesus, that ain't enough. Don't you care that we perish? He's gonna test you. Cause when we say a pair of lips say anything and he can read your heart better than you can read it. But he says, if you value his word, if you value his word, his scriptures, again, he's preserved it for you. He says they are profitable for teaching, praise God, for reproof. So when someone says something goofy, we could, no, no, no, not according to the word, for correction, stop doing what you're doing, get out of that, for training in righteousness so that the man of God and woman so that you all will be anthropos, word anthropos, so all of us, so that me and Samuel in future, Mimi and Carol and Jesus Lover and interacting with Joel, all of us, we can be adequate, equipped for every good. Do you know what this equip really means, guys? Do you know what it means? It's part of being completed, but we are able to do whatever we need to do. You looking for some power? There it is. Again, stop being like, stop being like Naaman who wants Elijah coming waved, cause like he said, come wave your hand over me, do something miraculous. I wanna see that, no, just go dip in the water. Go dip in the water. Or like James when he says, if any of you are suffering, go pray. No, why can't you lay your hands on me and just have me slandering the spirit, which is by the way, not biblical. But you go for this foolishness, why there's a wave of stupidity that has hit the nation and is running rampant, running rampant. I think we might be the dumbest of all people of all time. We really are, we really are. Even the people who should know better, are scientists or dumb, think back to that little thingy thingy, you know, with the in your arm. Think about that. Here it is, a couple of years later, go back a couple of years, you better get it, you're gonna die. You better get it, you're gonna die. Now we're finding out what, wow, that was, and no one went to jail for that either. Nobody got in trouble for that. Cause we will take anything, we will take anything, just long as someone who looks important sounds important tells us. So if you'll do what an important person or important sounding or important looking person says, then I have to be an important person. I've got to call myself apostle so-and-so, prophet so-and-so. I can't, why can't I just be Fred? Why can't I be Earl from Idaho? Earl from Idaho, and I'm just reading the word. Is there anybody out there named Earl or anybody from Idaho? But the question's gonna be, are you going to take part in the stupid Olympics? The stupid Olympics come to church every Sunday. Every Sunday, somebody is needing to be delivered. Somebody who is acting in a stupid fashion, in an ignorant fashion, needing to be delivered, literally having what delivers them in their hand. You know the tragedy of this whole issue of kids who are going through this genitizphoria? Do you know what the cure for 80 to 90% of them are? Not going through puberty, no, going through puberty is the cure because 80 to 90% of them who go through it leave out of it and don't have any problems. But then when you give them some sort of magical elixir, some sort of chemical castration or some sort of pills or what have you, if they're gonna have to be gone for the rest of their lives and we think, yeah, that makes sense, yeah. Because they feel like that. Sean says I have an Earl from Omaha. We're just, what other word could we use of an ignorant other than stupid? Okay, wait a second, wait a second, the great chess champ, are you saying, what questions you asked me? I gotta see, I'm not going in yet. Did Timothy, are you asking me did Timothy not have enough faith? Oh, you're talking to someone. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't go in, I thought you were talking to me. I'm sorry. Well, who's calling you dumb and foolish Rico? And what are they calling? Now the question is, what are they calling you dumb and foolish about? Now, let me just be honest. We don't call a Christian a fool. Now a non-Christian could be a fool, but any Christian, as a matter of fact, every Christian at some point in time, oftentimes, we are foolish. What are they accusing you of being foolish about? And by the way, I'm gonna ask you this question. Not like I've asked everyone, that's a question. Was there anything that I played in any of those clips that was biblical? Can you point to any, by the way, she had the word moron, is where we get that word moron, moronay, moron, moras? Where, is there any clip that was played that you would say, yeah, that was biblical? That what, I see that in scriptures. I just don't. The reason why you can be fooled, the reason why you can be gubbled, the reason why you can act stupid, the reason why they can do stupid things to you, not necessarily you, but anyone, I'm just saying this to you in general, is because you don't hold to the word. You don't test the word. John says, not every spirit is of God, so test it. Try it. How? Tested how? By the word of God. Stop being like these other people that we have these examples in the Bible to show us how not to be, how not to behave, how not to trust. You say you trust God, well then why do you, if you trust him, why do you need more? I need you to show me more to validate, I need you to show me some more to validate your love. That's not how that works. So, and more and more folks are gonna be upset, which means more and more folks are gonna have to get pushed back on them, meaning we're gonna have to keep doing our job. Cause there comes a time where you have to say, you know what, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna put up with your foolishness. I'm not gonna allow you to kill these kids. I'm not gonna allow you to hurt these other Christians who are trying to grow. And so I'm gonna call it out now. If you are a Christian and you enjoy being taken advantage of, if you are a Christian and you enjoy having someone pull a fast one over, if you are a Christian and you enjoy someone telling you some lies to make you stop thinking about the truth, well then amen, you have all you need. You're gonna have a steady diet of stupidity coming in where there's a wave, a tidal wave, a tsunami has hit the country and people are basking in the stupidity. People are touching their heads and they're falling out without any Bible verse to back that up. People are speaking these weird tongues and no Bible verse to back that up. People being slain in the spirit, people being prophesied all these different lies and they're vague and so forth. People getting prophecies about the future that never come true and we never go back and ask them about it, but no one cares about it. You can bask in the foolishness, in the stupidity all you want. But what I'm gonna do is hold to every word of God as best I can. So it'd be one thing if we're arguing over different elements about the scripture. We're talking about things that aren't even found in the scripture. It'd be one thing if we're talking about something having a discussion over what the scripture say. We're talking about stuff that aren't, that it being in the scripture and then your response is gonna be, well, don't put God in the box. Who's to say what God can't do, what God won't do? What? God knows us better than we, God listen, God knows how foolish we are and so he knows that he's gotta put a whole lot of instructions. He's gotta get a lot of words. Why is the Bible so big? Cause we're so dumb. It's gotta have enough words in us to cover every base that we might wanna cross. That's why it's in there and so we have everything that we need to live off of and anything outside of that we don't need. Anything other than that is by definition unbiblical. So if you think that I'm wrong, fine. Go to the scripture, prove us wrong. Otherwise, I say this, you'll be in this lake of stupidity for now. But there's another lake that you'll visit. Thank you, Jay. Thank you, Jay. But let me deal with this. Listen, I was getting ready to hit the button. I was getting ready to hit the button but then I saw Rico. Rico, we've gotta address this. Rico says, if everything was to be written, the word wouldn't have room for it. Rico, brother, we love you. Can I tell you how absolutely stupid and ungodly of a statement that was? And I apologize for being harsh. I apologize, I'm not calling you stupid. I promise you, I'm not calling you stupid. What you said was, can I tell you why? First of all, the passages that you're speaking of are the signs that Jesus has done and there wouldn't be enough. Now, let me just ask you this question, Rico. Does that mean that it is impossible to write down every literal miracle that Jesus has done? No. The point that he's making is that he's done so much even more so than it's written because don't we have enough pen and paper to write down every single second that we, as a matter of fact, in your lifetime? Are you just 33 and a half years? That wasn't the point, number one. But number two, what we do, you know, Rico, I literally read the passage. I literally read the passage. All scriptures inspired by God and possible for what? Teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training, and righteousness, so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. But you say everything that we need or everything that could be written, would you say if everything was to be written, the world wouldn't have room for it? We know that everything that God is about or everything about God is not written. That's not what we're talking about. But everything, Rico, that God wants you to know is in that book. Everything that God wants you and me and everyone else to know is in that book. Stop swimming in, stop buying this load that people are shoving your way that there's more to what God is offering you than what's in the book. You are not that bright, not that insightful to think of, well, there's more to it than what he gave. No, he's told you earthly things and stuff in the book. And you can't get you, that's not good enough for you. Now you want heavenly things. You can't understand things in the book, but now you want some more stuff that can look, let's be honest, you couldn't handle it. Nor could I, it's not to say that I could either, but nor could I, but the fact of the matter is you and I or anyone else is smart enough to handle what's not in the book. We're struggling with what's in the book. And what's in the book seems not to be enough for you. And so you want some more that's not in the book. Why don't you master what's in the book first, master that, then move on to other things. But right now, brother, you ain't there, but none of us are. That's the good news. Let his word be enough. Amen.
