Okay I'll see you there on the 23rd of December. Oh, man Bad boys. Let's take a look at it. Shall we you know years ago? When you was born you were born into a some kind of a family right and every one of us are the product of our environment and We are the product of our family and adopted family Birth family could be anything Then after that we're the product of our school years so if you add Your family life with grade school and you put them together you pretty much got The person and that's kind of you Huh, and the devil attacks the kids more than anybody because They're very impressionable They're defenseless and They are almost like supernatural learners Children are like human sponges. They just absorb everything in their environment. They learn much quicker than adults you know If you take a bunch of Irish kids and drop them in Tijuana Within three days are fluent in Spanish. It's nuts. If you put me there I get Como of one week and a star the next week Children are like human sponges. They absorb everything in their environment mentally physically and emotionally and spiritually and The demons know once they get the kids then they got the rest of their lives and Because we are having so many dysfunctional families in America Kids are very vulnerable and they have no protection. So the devil just take pot shots at him. He's got them and and The Jews when they came out of Egypt had to be deprogrammed they had been there for 270 or 280 something years and They were essentially raised in Egypt And they had to be deprogrammed, you know almost like somebody who's been in a cult and The parents hired deprogrammers to kidnap them It takes about them two months to deprogram somebody out of a cult. It's all mental And I don't do any deprogramming here. I do regular counseling. I don't do deprogramming but God does do deprogramming and he had to do that to the Jews They had to be deprogrammed because they were essentially Egypt and we saw it manifest with Aaron with the golden calf Moses was late coming home and the Jews mentally went back to Egypt And Today, it's exactly the same If you do not change how you think you will go back To the way you Were raised to think so after you become a born-again Christian the holy spirits trying to Deprogram you so to speak and trying to get you to think and Act like Christ Well, that should be pretty easy for him to do it is Not easy at all Okay, it is extremely difficult because The Holy Spirit has limitations on his power Self-imposed limitations He has unlimited power, but it's controlled Based on human free will God's mighty power is based on human free will these people over here who have all kinds of spiritual gifts Think differently than these Christians over here who have Nothing they've been saved for 20 years They have no gifts no power no nothing And say for 30 years these people over here and they're much smaller group have Wonderful gifts and miracles and These people Think differently than those their free will is different than those So God doesn't move here. He does move here based on God happens to be having a good day today and not no Jehovah's the same day in and day out. Let's say if the Lord I change not Hello Yeah, it's it's the human driving the car. It's the gas pedal. Some people drive fast some people are slow pokes And it's the same spiritually You are blessed by God to live in as much menace misery as you choose gosh brother Mikey's He's like Warren Buffett Whatever you choose in your Christian life is exactly You mind about it. You can drive by it. You can Do whatever you want about it, but if you can live with it You got to keep it at every service right here Demons flying out all these people in the back Somebody sitting there watching Okay, these people free will is different than somebody sitting in the back Watching so the Holy Ghost doesn't go back there. He comes up here What's he looking for somebody with positive free will? That's what he's looking for right Yeah, that's you know To to make money in Christianity You've got to complicate everything see and you've got to give the idiot Christian a sense that they're Discovering something new concept. I never heard before I'm gonna go to the courts of heaven And I'm gonna print that my cave Oh, but If you've ever heard that saying keep it simple stupid. Oh, it applies in Christianity more than it applies Anywhere the simpler it is It's what Paul called the simplicity of Christ Somebody sent me a long video recently On the tribulation I Had taught on the tribulation. I said I said to everybody. I'm not sure when the tribulation is going to start or when the rapture is going to hit But I'm kind of leaning toward pre-trip. Well, they heard that I Didn't say it was pre-trib. I Said I was leaning toward pre-trib. See I didn't hit you But I just I'm leaning toward hitting you see there's the difference between hitting someone and Leaning toward hitting them see that see that maneuver there like a gymnast Well, they sent me this one long dissertation about This guy's theory that it was post-trip You know and I didn't Look that I said that's interesting deleted it and said hey the rapture is going to happen sooner or later Who cares See how simple I kept that Because I have no control over the rapture see I can only control what I can control and the only thing a Human being can totally control as you well know 100% is your Mind God gave you 100% total control over your mind You have do you do not have control total control hundred percent over anything else in this world Doesn't matter what it is the weather your spouse Well, wait a minute Your kids Anything on this planet you do not have 100% control over anything on this planet except and how you were raised How you were raised is a pretty good indicator of How you're going to be as an adult did you know that? Okay, I'll try and prove it to you Okay, now Jehovah and Leviticus 6 is deprogramming was well underway now and God would accept offerings from the Jews and God would set it to fire. It was supernatural the fire of God right remember that and It burned 24-7 Jehovah's fire at the altar burned 24-7 for the Jews right and Moses told Aaron and his sons that they were to be Ministered the office of the high priest of Israel and he gave him special clothing Leviticus chapter 8 and Moses said listen, this is what you will say To the people of Israel numbers chapter 6 it says you speak these words to them during the offering period and When the fire of God burns up the altering You will say this to them the Lord keep you and help bless you and keep you The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you The Lord lift his countenance on you and give you peace There you go that was the high priest creed they would go through the ceremony and At the end of the ceremony Aaron or his sons would give that blessing to the people and bless the Jews right Okay Leviticus 9 Fire would come out from God. This was supernatural fire And it would burn up the offering if it was accepted and it would burn everything up Remember the great story of Elijah so to speak When all the people saw it they shouted and fell on their faces. Why because it was supernatural the supernatural fire and then Aaron's two sons You know When you live in a family of privilege many times That privilege or that concept of being it privilege kind of rubs off on the kids So when your dad or mom is up here, you're up here, too And then everybody else's dad and mom's down here and their kids are down here right most people are not raised in privilege, but Nay dab and a by who In spite of their names We're raised in privilege. They were in the office of the highest office in Israel The high priest office they were at the top They were the kids that went to school by limousines These were the silicone valley kids. These these were the rich kids They had everything in life and it went to their Heads and they started to develop a kind of an attitude that hey, I'm I'm kind of an elevated person and People who have an elevated view of themselves have a sense that the rules don't apply to them They have this sense in their soul they may not say it but there's kind of a sense in there that you know I'm kind of above the I mean these people abide by the rules But I I don't have to buy by the rules. See when when you're a privileged person You don't have to abide by Traffic laws, right? So if you're a famous person You're speeding the cop pulls you over instead of getting a ticket you give him an autograph but a regular person that gets pulled over gets a ticket well these two sons let this thing go to their heads and They wanted to experiment with this offering stuff So they created their own fire Zure is the Hebrew word. It was a foreign fire. It wasn't a supernatural fire of God and boom God's judgment Leviticus 10 fell on these two boys and did what? burned them up Okay burned them up Ed's barbecue boom gone and Of course Aaron was in the state of shock over and He was deeply hurt over Okay, and the problem was Aaron see it's not the kid almost Most of the times it's the parent They let Aaron let them live in privilege and he let them develop a mindset of being Special and it got him killed any parent who gives their child too much Later in life deeply regrets it. They live in sorrow and sadness and misery the kids who were given too much Also live in misery Because in the real world People don't want to give you too much They want you to give stuff to them And that doesn't mesh with the way you were raised Aaron was behind this Execution and then Moses came along doing the right thing and said hey you knew what was going to happen Because you heard the word of the Lord and it happened You violated it and Aaron realized he was wrong and said nothing Then Moses to pound this story in Takes Aaron's other two sons right who later became high priest and They came and got the bodies that were cooked Why did you do that? Why didn't they have servants do it because Moses wanted? those two to understand What had happened to the other two brothers and why? they had a Privileged mindset that was a delusion and They assumed Yet Transferred to Jehovah when it didn't that's why Christians are they they assume they can kind of live on the fence of sin here and kind of Just kind of not get over there But and they think they can get away with it and Moses had them take them out of the camp and bury them Then Moses said something shocking You're not even allowed to mourn for these two dead sons Because if you mourn for them that's telling God you didn't agree with what he did and the incident happened and because They didn't agree with What God told them Wasn't even allowed to have a funeral They took them out and buried them like a dead What would have happened to you this week had the blood of Jesus not been around you would be dead or the Mike You're not a nice person. I'm extremely nice person Everyone who knows me just loves me not When you violate the law of God if it wasn't for the blood of Christ you be cooked You live in the dispensation of grace Nabib and ibuku No, if you just read that quickly you just say you're so well they kind of deserved it with names like that But no, that's not the point of the story The point of the story was they knew what God wanted but because they had a privileged attitude They lost their lives If you think you have a privileged attitude Putsing around with sin you will eventually lose your life Hello The soul of the Senate that shall die Do not wail for their deaths Aaron, let's switch over to another interesting family. Remember him Eli first thing on chapter 2 well Eli was very old and He heard all the things his sons did in Israel what happened was they were Like Eli. He was the high priest of Israel and a judge of Israel and Eli was a great man of God He did an excellent job serving God Almost everything in the Bible is positive about him. He was a good minister of God. He was a faithful servant been there for 40 years Never wavered, but he had the Aaron syndrome His sons he loved his sons Too much you can't love anybody too much brother Mike. Well, you probably can't but if it allows you to not discipline them Your love is actually a form of hate. Did I just say that I think I did If your love for someone is so high That you can't discipline them You're lit actually Hating Eli was a wonderful man of God 40-year reign Super job one who getting sons. Oh, he loved his son. So the boys had the privileged attitude. They say hey, you know what? We're running the tabernacle here. We were in charge of the worship. You see in American society in the United States you can be sued if You are in a school or a business or something and you use your position of authority to manipulate someone into sexual behavior Correct if you use your position of authority to take advantage of someone sexually you can get sued for that correct Happens all the time. That's what they were doing. Hey, we're the boss We have authority and these women are coming to worship and hey, I'll tap into whoever I want and They would submit why because they had special privileges. They had special powers Given to them by the great man of God, Eli, but Eli gave his sons. Oh A cancer, you know what a parent is that doesn't discipline their kids their cancer spreaders They spread the cancer to the kids and the kids die ugly thinking they're special and privileged when in fact they're not It's an illusion. It's a delusion They took advantage of the women. They were tapping into the girls and Samuel called them on it finally must have gone on for years Why are you doing this, you know, you're doing evil things to the people they're complaining to me about it Hey, Eli, your sons are taking advantage of the women. They're doing this We're probably doing a bunch of other stuff. Why because in their minds They thought they were superior to these other people. They thought they Had a privileged status He says my sons, you're not supposed to do this stop it, you know We're standing on chapter 2 remember the story You're causing the people of God to transgress, you know I'm using my authority over over you and you are submitting sexually to me So you're committing adultery By submitting but the person hasn't submit because the other person's dominating them They have the money the power of the authority you'll get fired you're what what have you So they submit so they're sinning and They're making a mockery out of the worship of God in the Temple of God they're making a mockery out of So what they were doing was extremely sinful and Samuel's warning them you're sinning against God. He's telling his sons You're sinning against God. I'm the high priest of Israel. I'm the boss. I'm in charge But my sons have got me. They got a hook in me They got a hook. I am a Cowardly gutless Codependent and they harken not to the voice of their father. They didn't listen to him. They ignored him Could they get away with that? Yes. Why because if you don't discipline your children You're helping to kill them You're turning them into a loser you're turning them into a failure Aaron did it to his sons Eli looks like he's doing it to his sons He doesn't do anything, but Eli's sons were like these guys here. Here's textbook examples of privileged wealthy men taking advantage of Women Here's in textbook example a priest is in a position of honor and respect dominating and taking advantage of Children sexually why because they're in a position of authority the church has given them authority. Therefore, they have authority. They are Position of power able to excommunicate and so on so they Sexually molest kids and nobody says anything about it. Nobody stops correct and God sent Eli a prophet and the guy doesn't even have a name There's an apostle prophet moving sweeping movement sweeping through the United States and the churches. It's embarrassing. Oh My god, it's embarrassing. It's like It's like mass hemorrhoid infestation Now a days if you don't have a apostle or prophet after your name Yeah, you can't sell any books or CDs This guy here's name wasn't even put in the Bible And this guy unlike the prophets nowadays was a legitimate Prophet of God and actually heard from God Instead of giving people spiritual impressions here it is He comes to Eli and says hey, we got a problem here Dad Yet, this is permissive parenting and God says look didn't I take the people out of Egypt? Didn't I take care of you? Didn't I give you the priesthood? Didn't you come down from from Aaron and aren't you the son of Aaron's? fourth son aren't you direct line of this incredible? miraculous system I set up the high priest of the nation of Israel and God says didn't I choose you to be a priest didn't I choose them didn't I give you this office and special privileges? Didn't I do that to your father? Didn't I take care of you with the offerings everything you needed was taken care of God said I'll say if the Lord I took care of everything You had right I Gave you everything Why are you kicking me in the face? Why are you trashing my sacrifice? Why are you doing this to me? Now notice here that he's talking to Eli Not his two sons The infinities remember that Yes, you see that The parent is at fault if you raise your kids you do not discipline your children You are at fault for their lives It's your sin Why are you letting your? Honoring your sons above me God was here and Aaron's son said you know what we got some fire too oops God was here and Eli put his sons above the Lord textbook codependency Wow You would have thought the prophet would have gone to Hopney and Phineas right no He went to the root source of the problem the parent you're putting your sons above me They make themselves fat. They're skimming the offerings Hopney and Phineas could have been TV preachers. They would have done real well We're saying the two the Lord God of Israel says I said indeed your house and the house of your father Should walk before me forever, but now I'm revoking it Now the Lord says be it far from me did you know that still applies You remember when you're young you had a call of God on your life that call is conditional, you know what it's conditioned on Your free will and you answering if you don't do it God is no longer Obligated to keep his promise the picker is not in the hall now, but Years ago. I helped start an assembly God church in Ghana small church, you know about 40 people something like that And I paid for the minister's Education an assembly of God's school paid office tuition for him Helped him set up the church paid for a lot of the bills Whole thing going great for years. It went great. I went over there myself And preached in that little church and had a deliverance service. It was fantastic. I think it was in 2000 and 2008 I think it was something that I went over there. Well, anyway to shorten the story up I Would send monthly donations to the church so they could help pay their bills and this went on for years. I get it I get a Email or a Facebook message From a woman who was asking me I don't remember him. I don't remember how she even knew me She was she lived in Ghana. She said, you know a good church in Ghana. I said well actually I do this church Ria Boa Assembly of God. I said I says to her Go over and see the pastor there Gideon Armagh was his name. Oh see Gideon and you go to that church and You know, I said send Happy I was happy. I Was recruiting for my African church. I felt like an African and nowadays I guess if I felt like an African I can identify as one and be one but years ago. You couldn't do that now. You can't I Would be my goomba Smith if I chose to and I could identify that but I just chose not to She sends me a Facebook message back about four or five days later. She said hey, uh, I Talked to that pastor Gideon. Well, you did. Oh good uh Art is Jehovah and Allah the same. I Said I picked my computer chair up Got back in my seat. I Said what in God's name did you just ask me? Yeah, they they believe that Allah and Jehovah are the same I take a copy of it. I send it to Gideon He won't answer it. I sent it again. He wouldn't answer it. I sent back to her I can't get him to answer do not go to that church I'm not going there anymore either Come to find out the guy moved to Atlanta and somebody got involved in chrysalm You've heard of that right chrysalm Jehovah. Allah won't we all serve the same God. It's just different, you know Total insanity Apostle Paul told Everybody who these gods were in these other religions in first Corinthians. He said they were demons Don't don't send me an email. I'm quoting him. He's at fault yelling him Well needless to say I pulled out of that fast. I Just dropped it. I never sent him another nickel. I never contacted him. We got was the end of it for me I had a nice run, but it was over This is what we're doing here They were dishonoring Here's here's Jehovah and here is Allah they're they're the same. They're at the same level They're the same divinity. They're the same Oh That that had my teeth grinding for a minute. I was grinding my teeth at the community that I thought I got to stop doing it Then I calm myself down Ministered it out. Okay, the days will come when I will cut off your arm The arm of your father's There won't be anybody around not one old man in your family tree It's going to survive. This is going to be assigned to you both your sons Will die in one day Wow Who who killed those sons? Eli killed them How do you do that? Permissive parenting If you don't discipline your children you're issuing them a death sentence They will kill themselves or someone else Will kill them and Eli killed both of his sons Aaron killed both of his directly no Indirectly they caused it. They wouldn't do anything about the sin of their sons and Jehovah then drops in a prophecy of the Lord Jesus here, right? First Sam with 225 I will raise up a faithful priest That shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind and to say the least And I will build him a sure house and he will walk before me. I know in it forever That's what it says in Hebrews 1, right? Thy throne, oh God is forever and ever a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom Thou hast loved righteousness. Thou hast hated iniquity Who's he talking about there? Your Savior and That's exactly what he did. He will walk before me anointed forever Hebrews chapter 1 The man said to Eli I am he that came out of the army. I fled today. Somebody shows up right after the prophet leaves Some messenger comes up just like the story of Joe. He comes running up and says hey Eli Guess what happened? You know the story of the Philistines overran the Jews killing them by the thousands and Israel fled before the Philistines Tens of thousands of them died and it says your two sons hopney and Phineas They are dead and Worse than that the Ark of the Covenant has been taken They kidnapped it Eli is more concerned about the Ark and he is his sons Eli was a good man of God He was a faithful servant of the Lord had served him for years. Oh, he should have got a pass then You don't get a pass with sin and your kids didn't get a pass when you raised them Without any discipline They turned up pregnant Drunks and on drugs Unemployed and broke Why because you Didn't discipline. Oh brother Mike. I was raised that way and that's what happened to me. I know that's why I'm sharing this Your parents set you up for a failure Because they didn't discipline They gave you special privileges Once you give a kid special privileges That's when they start to sink Once you love one kid over another once you show affection of one over another You planted the seeds total destruction Rotted their lives out. What's gonna happen to it? What they're gonna live in misery. They're gonna be failures. They're gonna die early and ugly Why cuz you Were a permissive parent he falls off the back of his seat He was fat remember he sat by the side of the gate where people come in and out of the city He broke his neck and Died after 40 years of serving the Lord Wow, what a story you wouldn't believe how many pks go bad, right? It's as common as anything a preacher's kid I mean most of them backslide They get special privileges are treated differently. They're seen differently by others at the church Instead of being a normal person there The preachers kid What? Happened to Franklin Graham. Yeah, he backslid and left Billy raised him right and He was privileged and he saw all these things that nobody else saw he got to be a part of all these things Nobody else got to be a part of it He left quit, you know God's answered Billy's prayers and brought him back You know, but he took a terrible beating there for a while Some kids don't have the kind of prayers following Franklin Graham had they don't come back And they died they overdose They're in prison they're in jail They're the group home for the mentally ill Why? We're all a product of how we were raised And in our society with so many dysfunctional families and so many crazy parents There are sick people running around this country. You can't even believe Kids that were raised with no discipline kids who were raised with social media. Where are they now? BLM and Tifa Palestinian riots Harvard see back in the day when kids were disciplined, you know They grew up differently than people that got timeouts You're at the time out. What do you room? I'm happy to they've got every high-tech Thing you can imagine in their room So they're having a timeout and it's party time So it's time to get on a little porn When you don't discipline your kid you're planting a seed of cancer in his soul end up pregnant drunk undrugs in jail And dropping out of school They will have lives of failure and Paul went on to explain that you're heavenly father disciplines His children. Oh now wait a minute. Can't we just go back to the Bible study? No Some of the things that bad that have happened in your life God allowed it to happen Because you need it Discipline and he is not a permissive parent born again Christians who have low IQs and they're kind of dumb a Lot of times don't learn anything unless somebody hits him over the head with a board Then they get it talking to him reasoning with them Using the word of God sometimes doesn't work and so God allows certain things to happen to you to Snap you out of it Your heavenly father is not a permissive parent and if you keep going the direction you're going Sooner or later Somebody's gonna drop a piano on you. Something's going to happen. Why? because You're very loved The daughter-in-law was pregnant, right Phineas's wife When this happened remember Yeah when she heard the Ark of God was taken and her father-in-law and Eli and her husband Phineas they were dead She goes into premature labor remember and It's a bad labor and a bad delivery and It's killing her Well the nurses aid that's working with her delivers the son and says to her hey, I got some good news for you You've got a son and Back in the day. Everybody loved having sons more than daughters. No offense. That's how it was then and she couldn't care less Who's it fault for that? Baby's birth who's it fault for her dead? Eli wouldn't Discipline his son and God let it go this far and the counseling business we call working with addicts Hitting a bottom. I want to go into rehab. Have you have they hit a bottom yet? No. Well, let's hold off on rehab They're gonna relapse for sure Hitting a bottom. You know what that is. Of course you do God will allow His children sometimes to seem like they're hitting a bottom in an attempt to save them Because they're not listening they think they're privileged It's okay. I can take these drugs drink that and pop some porn and go here and go there. I'm fine Grace covers it Yeah, it does cover it until It doesn't Something has to happen to you when the prophet came to Eli wouldn't you and Me been reacted the same way That would have been a holy Shoot moment wouldn't wouldn't you and I have run after those two imbeciles or Using him waddled after him He weighed 400 pounds. You're not gonna be running, but you're gonna be moving if you lean forward your move quicker I would have run them kids down within an inch of their lives Would you have I Wouldn't need them any more pushes for that. Hey, I Gotta stop this Everybody in my family tree is gonna die. That would have been enough motivation for me to do it. Not Eli What'd he do? Ordered another pizza She named the child Iqabot in glory means inglorious. It means glory has departed Partying glory. That's my son's name. Then she dies Who's it fall for Iqabah having to be adopted out not having a family no parent no mom no dad Eli was it who was it fall for the Ark of God being taken and there's Eli's legacy. It could have been fantastic. He was a Up till this point a fantastic man of God. He only had one weakness in a soft spot for his kids If you have a soft spot for your kids to the point that you allow them To violate the law of God You are helping to kill them are destroying their lives By loving them too much he caused all these horrible things Because he wouldn't discipline his children Well, this doesn't always apply to bad parents and doesn't sometimes good parents Get in trouble, right? Anybody have heard of this dude? Oh This interesting Very interesting judges chapter 13 Jehovah came to his mother she was barren like Sarah And he said listen You're gonna have a son I'm gonna give you a son. He's gonna be mighty powerful the judge of Israel now their conditions He tells the mother and the dad Hair no no haircuts He's dedicated as a Nazarite From the time he's born you dedicate him to me He's mine. Don't touch his hair And he will begin the delivery out of the Philistines Wouldn't it be Gary if Israel had somebody like that now You don't have that now the woman bore a son named Samson the Lord blessed Samson The spirit of God began to move on him when he was young judges 13 Samson went down to Timna. He saw a woman of the daughter of Philistines. What happened to Samson? Well Less demons took this guy you can see how it can happen could happen couldn't you? This guy was the biggest deal anybody ever seen, you know, he was like what Bo Jackson or something and People who have lost demons particularly men Are very visually oriented people. They have less scanners in their eyes. I Used to have one when I lived in sin and I would scan a woman's body. I didn't believe I Watched everything I Noticed everything on a happy hour My head spun around like Linda Blair in the Exorcist movie. I was watching chicks like you believe I'm second thought you would Well Samson had it much worse than me Samson was a sex addict and he sees a hot babe and In the culture back then Philistine women Were bootalicious Jewish women were not they had clothing restrictions and Behavioral restriction Philistine Philistine women did not have that see they wore hot-looking outfits jewelry perfume they were They worked at the club you know The Jewish women didn't do the club or pole dancing with the Philistine women. They were hot babes and Anybody with a with less demons naturally is going to gravitate toward the visually more sensuous Female correct this too deep for this group This little too deep right? I'm getting too much into the psychiatry just went over there. Okay? Okay, I'll tone it down He saw a Hot babe of the Philistines. He went to his mom and dad. He said I've seen Seen some booty. They had a lot of booty and Timna. Yeah, I read that in the correspondence, of course Go get her for me Yeah, hey Samson listen now You don't seem to be the brightest guy in the neighborhood not this not the sharpest knife in the light bulb box You think you want to get a get to know somebody first before you Marry him. Do you think you want to kind of check them out? What about their? Faith believes what about their religion? What about their habit? Do you want to get to know somebody before you marry him? Samson no not with this around No, we got hormones on that. No, we don't need that. I saw her go get her for me Okay, this is the level of stupidity. We're looking at here And his father and mother said listen Samson dude son These women here they worship Jehovah. They're they're good women. They're they're not adulterers. They're not whores They're not prostituted. They're they're faithful women Why can't you? Fall in love or marry some woman that has the same faith you have the same Attitude you had that fits in with our family. What about worthy in-laws? What what are we going to do with some? Buddhist Philistine Hussey What what about what they're reasoning with him this I'm adding to the conversation because this wasn't the this was on the ice tip Of the iceberg they had a long talk with science Samson numerous times You know snap son snap out of this thing Who is that's that bad? Son knock it off Okay, here you have good parents that raised him right and they're trying to discipline their son the other parents We looked at went the opposite during they didn't discipline Now we got good parents who are trying to discipline their son, but Somebody who has a sex addition can't be disciplined Hello Samson said thanks for the advice mom shut up dad go get her for me. Oh, that's that's brilliant Nice move there. She pleases be a shower. I yai yin. What does that mean? I like her looks Why she had on a Philistine Hot outfit. She had special they had Philistine thongs back then They were fabulous And they had lace and they had jewelry and they sprayed stuff on them some of the Jewish women they were good Loving hard-working women, but to be honest, you know, they kind of felt what smelled like somebody working in the field But these Philistine women's they were hot paves and they Their bodies were important to them. They showed it off Hey She looks great to me go get her that one. Well, you know the story, right? She betrayed him He told them a riddle and she she told him when it was she she stabbed him in the back. What'd you expect? What you expect? She's worshiping false gods. She's not Jewish she doesn't care about Jehovah What do you what do you expect is going to happen? When you're a sex addict with a low IQ you're pulled around in life by demons you have no control over your life Well after that Disaster he got rid of her, right? He goes and judges 16 and you know, what's he do there? I Once again, what if you're a sex addict or you're addicted to something alcohol drugs, whatever it is food You don't think rationally your body is pushed By spirits to do things you don't want to do Their compulsions and urges in your body You can't control So he's in the mood for sex. He goes into a Zana prostitute and it came to pass John judges 16 He falls in love again Guess who that one was another Philistine woman this one was this one was at top of the line escort top of the line, you know Kind of like the ones who got in New York where they charge what 500 bucks an hour or something like that This was a top-notch escort Philistine woman Delilah. She was super hot She started he starts dating her and he falls in love with her and the Philistines notice it And so they say hey, here's our advantage The other wife we set her up to get the riddle solved Right, we won that one. She betrayed him. He now he's with Delilah. Hey, and the Philistines are thinking. Hey, this moron never learns He doesn't get it He can't control himself Samson's out of control the number one man of God in Israel is out of control and a sex addict What could go wrong? So they set him up They want to kill him and we there were five lords that visit her We will make you independently wealthy will each give you 1,100 pieces of silver. That's 550 pieces. She was set for life She agrees to take the bribe and she starts to ply Samson and He doesn't want to tell her Right, so he makes up a story Right yes, it's like them today if you're married, you know If you're do home at 8 you show up at 11 you hear you open the door and you hear a voice in the back of the house Where were you? Right there you got to make something up. You can't tell them where you were. I did that years ago That's pretty good at coming up with something right out the cuff It's always some charitable cause Hey Listen you haven't told me You lied to me you mocked me three times. You told me this story. That's where your strength came from you told me that story That's where your strength came from And he's still there Yeah The first time he she asked him what the secret of his strength was I would have been out of there so fast You wouldn't have a first time first time Unless I was a sex addict I was dating a sex goddess, okay, then I'd be in trouble Samson was in trouble He wasn't gonna leave it came to pass you pressed him daily with her words nagging him to death Urging him pushing him. Yeah thoughts of suicide was so bad Then what happens he cracks Judges 1670 he tells her What the secret of his is he had seven locks on his head seven interesting number and They'd never been cut There's a Nazarene from his mother's womb If you cut them or shave them off, he says my strength will be gone. He actually tells her Yeah, this is this is after This is after he knew she was trying to betray him. He knew it People who are addicted to things don't use any rational common sense, right? You weigh 290 pounds and you just ordered a pizza that isn't a rational decision. That's Lost demons pushing you to do things with your body You don't want to do Well, I've been clean and sober for two weeks now. I can just have one drink. Oh What's that the beginning of a relapse people with lost demons don't Think straight they do things they know is wrong Just like Samson Delilah noticed that he finally told her the truth she could sense it And what did she do to him? 5500 500 pieces of So she immediately betrays him and tells him to come get him they brought the money Delilah was not a sex addict. She was covetous Her God was money different demon same result after they had sex he passes out He's sleeping on her knees she calls for a man and they cut his locks off while he's asleep. He doesn't even feel it He doesn't know it's happening People with addictions think they can just keep going and going and going and there's no day of reckoning Nothing's gonna have not gonna get caught. What happened to Samson? She starts a verbally a vixen afflicted him and attack him Anna she yells at him just like the other times Philistines are upon you Samson He says I'll just wake up shake myself. I'll be fine But he did not know The Lord had departed from me Wow people with addictions don't know things They live by feelings. They live by emotions. They live by the lusts of their flesh They don't see the end coming What you know the rest of the story it was a bad one They Ground his eyes out. He was blind Took him back to the Temple and he was grinding in the prison house What happened to Samson here? Well The first time she asked him where that power came from He made up the story about vines and said if you time me up with new vines Nobody's ever touched before I won't be able to get out of them She holds that him. Hey the Philistines are here. Boom breaks. He tells her another story. She gripes and moans He says hey, oh It's not the vines. It's ropes If you time me up with brand new ropes that nobody else has ever been tied up with I'll be as weak as a kitten Samson the Philistines boom was the third one. He said if you braid my hair a certain way and Put a pin in it. I'll be as weak as a kitten. She does it Samson. No problem Notice how Samson like modern Christians today gradually Seep toward You get a little they sent a little bit here and then they stop. I can't do that Then they sent a little more there. No, I can't I can't know I got a Well, let me send just a little bit He gradually got to his ally about his hair the fourth time was The truth about his hair He slowly Through sin through stupidity Through lack of discipline for not listening to his parents For thinking he had all the answers For assuming the grace of God would covering monger all any in all circumstances Once you start down sin slippery slope it speeds up as you get down the slope Starts out a little slower than this speeds once the snowball comes down it gets bigger and faster As soon as he told her of a hair story He told her the rest of the hair story sex addiction is Something that most intelligent people in the world Can't control these two guys here famous sex addicts Extremely Extremely intelligent people. Oh there they are more sex addicts these sex addicts ended up in prison Sex addiction makes no sense Lost demons make no sense being addicted to something makes no sense whatsoever All these men here could have had all kinds of women They could have paid for whatever they wanted they could have got top-notch women at an escort service Bill Cosby could have had any Woman he wanted or the demons teaching Hey You want to have total control over these women, right? You want to you're a control freak Well to have total control somebody if you own way to do that is a drug and then you do whatever you want with them There he is Guy was for something pound four hundred pounds, right?

You wouldn't believe the depression Of mothers who come to see me Or parents that come to see me whose child is out of control You can't even imagine the sorrow These people are living with Why because they love this child so much. It's killing them to see what's happening to them Well, what was the problem? Here it is Proverbs 29 the rod Henry proof give wisdom But a child left to themselves Brings their mothers to shame Wow, no kidding I've had mothers and sitting in my office in tears over their kids Drugs jail prison Homeless living on the streets It's a catastrophe Why?

I was desperate to fix the situation It was getting on a hand for me But the point that god is telling us here is if you don't discipline your children You're going to destroy them and it's going to be your fault God pointing the finger at Eli Not the two sons Moses pointing the finger at Aaron not the two son If you do not discipline your children They will grow up without discipline. What does that mean drugs? Unwanted pregnancies Sexual promiscuity Addictions to alcohol overdoses jail time prison time mental illnesses clinical depression bipolar and then you will suffer the rest of your life Why because someone you love is self destructing And you had a chance to save them and didn't let's pray
