I'm telling you it's it's it's the world is turning and it's and you're just watching it. Beautiful prayer, okay, missy. See see see I didn't have I didn't have to evoke that at all. I'd have to to thank you, thank you, Missy. We just you know, we just give you honor and give God honor and praise. Before we came on, Rebel was asking, she goes, you sound so, you know, happy, And I'm like, once you read God's word and see his promises, I promise y'all, You're never the same. You're never the same. And it's just so precious and and and then he's letting you know I'm coming now, I'm here, I'm coming, I'm coming.
4:18 I'm coming with my promises. I'm coming everything that you've asked me in the wee hours, that which nobody knows about. I'm coming to fulfill that in you and to know that you know he's there and he comforts and he's ready. And I'm excited because you know, we're ending with Rassa Shawna. I hope folks got a chance to read up on it, do your own research on it, as well as partake with some apples and honey, we had a great time. We blew the show far last week and kind of scared some people, but you know they'll be all right. Elder K from News Jesus from Tennessee, I had, you know, messaged me, text me later on last weekend. She said, I think there may be a few soap references to say, oh yeah, okay, we could get there.
5:05 But she said, you know, there was a gentleman in her neighborhood that did that, and she said I didn't know what he was doing. And she goes, then. You know you you then you turn around and you explained it, and it's like, Okay, now I got it. Yeah, I love it. And uh, but we. Want I want to talk about Young Kapoor because that's coming up on us this Thursday. It starts us twenty five hours of praying and fasting. And I want you all to understand this. And we and the Lord had me going into understanding fasting and things like that because like humans, like we are, we always stretch things to fit what we wanted to be. And you got to go back to the old days and go back to the Old Testament and get that explanation historical explanation of where fasting actually came from in the Hebrew lifetime.
5:53 Uh. In the Old Testament, there was no it was not a fast, It wasn't called fasting. It was called consecration. And in those days, they washed everything, they washed their animals, they cleaned everything. So for my modern day, I'm planning, we're already gonna Jazz has heard her back. Is this for all believers to follow? I believe to follow. Yeah, why not? Why not? It's out there. It's a Jewish high high holiday. Now I'm gonna say something in the stage that's gonna really freak you out. So just hang on to whatever you're sitting on. We're all Jewish. I don't care if it's I don't care if it's Ounce.
6:33 We're under Abraham's seed. I'm gonna leave it right there. I'll come back and revisit that. But you y'all sit on that for a minute. Sit in that for a minute. Okay. But it doesn't say that only the Jewish people can follow this, because my family and I've been doing this for years and it has blessed us tremendously. And I got scripture. As long as the word of God backs me up, I'm good. I'm good a man. But yeah, we're part of Abraham's seed. Abraham was Jewish down and they don't lie. Don't lie. That's all I'm gonna say. I'm gona leave it that there. So, yes you can. That's that's my answer. Yes you can follow it. Okay. Now, Young Kapoor. Starts Thursday. It starts sundown from sundown Wednesday evening, the sundown Thursday evening, twenty five hours of fasting and praying. Okay, and why is it? Let me let me read a couple of things to you, Young Kapoor.
7:25 Or the day of Atonement is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, a solemn day dedicated to repentance, fasting, and seeking forgiveness from God and others for sins committed in the past year. Now, let's go back Rashashana. We started out a new year already. We've got a new year. We just started in this month, okay, So from this month on back the last year'sashana right before that, that's our year. So sins committed, you're asking for red intents. Now. In some cases it marks the day of cumulation of the ten days of Awe, which begins with the Jewish new year Rasashana Russiashana, with the belief that on yon Kapor God seals the faith of each individual for the coming year. So from the start of Rasashana, the lamb Book of life is open, and God is looking through it and he's checking the list. He's deleting some names, he's erasing some names.
8:29 He's checking the list. Amen, and come sundown Wednesday evening midnight, somewhere in there. He's closing the book because our new year has started. You want to make sure over the next twenty four hours your name is in the Lamb Book of Life, and you have to go to God on that one. I cannot tell you. Oh, this is how you do that, and this is how you do I cannot tell you that. But let's talk about atonement and forgiveness. Young Kapoor is a day of marking, of making amends and seeking atonement for wrongdoings. It is a time to reflect on one's actions and to commit to a more righteous path for the future. There's no perfection here. I can't say it enough.
9:12 The words where mankind becomes perfect doesn't exist, doesn't exist. And even though we sing more like Jesus, I just want to be more like him. He was the only being this will ever be perfect period. Only living thing, living, breathing, humanoid, human man. He's the only thing, only person. That gets the honor of being all perfect. I'm echoing. I don't know why, but that's okay. We're going to move through this. We're doing is okay. Path in the future. Relationship with God. The holiday emphasizes a personal connection to God, calling for a spiritual focus that disconnects.
9:57 From worldly activities that I know. Some people have added. Fasting, which means you put turned the plate over, you don't eat. You don't go on the water fast. You don't go on a Daniel's fast, you don't go on a juice fast, you don't go a vegan fast. You don't eat nothing, and you drink nothing. You fast. Now I've said. This over the years on the show. You want to know what consecration really looks like, go back to lamentations, little viticuous look in the Old Testament and see when they talk about consecration what they did, As I said before, they cleaned everything. They clean their animals, they clean where they live, they clean their clothes.
10:41 They did a whole lot of cleaning. Now we know back in the Old Testament that all they had was saying in rock, but they cleaned everything. What I've done over the years is I make sure my car is cleaning, so Whizzy, I will go to the dealership. I'm at dealership with the car lot, I mean car wash, and I will have I have a whole details inside and out. Amen, And we will give them. We already gave Jazz a bath. We can't give it too many baths, you know too much, but we'll make sure, you know, we trim. Her down and everything else will get. Her ready and we're going to clean the house between tomorrow and Wednesday the best of our ability. We go on here. It's about relationship now, okay, So then we also have community and purification. The day encourages communal prayer and the count of sins, fostering a sense of collective purification. Every church out there needs to be between Wednesday evening and Thursday be open twelve noon prayer.
11:38 This is what you needed. People a lot of people to come in from the community from all their lunch break that just just you know, they're fasting hopefully, but to pray it out. God forgive me. Go to some place that has twelve prayer or six d a m prayer, or go to a Catholic church that's opened all the hours. I think, still are you know if you look at that physical place to really make this more important to you, okay. Sealing the Book of Life. In the Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate in the Book of Life on rasashana. And on your compore. This judgment is sealed. It's sealed. So what you want to do is make sure that you're in right standing with God, that you're.
12:22 Not just hanging out here. Oh, I'll go to church when I. Get ready, you know, and all like, uh uh, this is the real deal here, this is the real deal. And through repentance, prayer, and charity, Jews can influence the outcome with God desiring life rather than death and accepting those who repent. It's just the children of God. It's not just Jewish people, it's just it's you can influence the outcome. How many of us want to change our faith that we think is in our mind? Looking at your behavior, looking at your actions, looking at what you've done, look at what you said, look at how you've been moved and provoked. I've been provoked to anger this year, over this past year. Last year, I was provoked to just go full steam ahead.
13:07 I ain't think no mercy, no anything. And thank you Lord for let me say that just a little sidebar here mankind. In my opinion, mankind, I cannot. Give you mercy. I can't give you grace. He who died on the cross is the only one that has license to that. I don't believe that man can give you great I can just forgive you, but I can't give you grace mercy. At times I can't even give you. I can't even give you peace. I'm trying. I'm still stuck at to try to love you unconditionally. So people who tap, oh, you know, give me mercy, have mercy on me. No, go to God. Noticing bad be heavior and changing it is a good feeling. Thank you, missy. Yes ma'am, Yes, ma'am.
13:51 Let's see what else we got here? Ceiling okay? And then fasting a core practice is a twenty five hour fast, refraining from food and drink to transcend physical needs and focus on your soul. That's what a truth fasting. And I know we've got the intermittent fasting now and doctors are just getting crazy about that. That's nothing new. It's becoming a fad. Now maybe it's going to be a lifestyle, But you want to have a fasting lifestyle eat not eating the food. Now. I know there are many of you on medication, But if I share with you that one mad that I had that I could not eat any breakfast. I can't eat anything before I before I take it. I have to take it on an empty stomach.
14:35 That's fasting. You swallow down that. Water and then you don't sit there and drink a whole eight ounce glass of water. So don't make this so difficult or try to bend it to your will. No very fasting is fasting. And I could say that if you really want to move God's hand in your life, if you really want to bring your flesh under subjection, don't feed it. Don't feed it. It will change your life. I am determined. I'm so excited. I am definitely. I know what I have to do for this fast and that means I'm cutting out even taking supplements and everything because and I know my medical staff will not understand it.
15:16 I'm not here for understanding. I have to do what God is telling me to do because He's got. A surprise for men. I don't know what it is, so you best believe I am. I know. We just got through planning the whole week of meals and everything Thursday. The food is already cooked, it's already meal planned and everything. I already know what we would be having Thursday. Kids can go ahead and if they want to, but. I know what I have to do. A lot on the line. There's a lot on the line. Okay, here we go. So again, it transcends your physical needs it makes your flesh stand down and you're gonna crave. I guarantee you, if you have the TV on, unless you have it on a gospel channel, or you have it on you, every commercial is gonna be about food on Thursday. I promise you. After seven o'clock PM on Wednesday, every commercial, sure you're gonna see, it's gonna be a food based commercial.
16:03 It's not gonna be on who's having sales. It's not gonna be on whether or not the government's gonna shut down. Uh, that's a whole different story. I don't wanna bring that up, but you know, and if they don't make a decision at thirty hours, okay, you may want to go to. The bank tomorrow. If you don't have cash on you, you may want to go to the bank. Because I'm not sure what that's gonna look like, but I'm telling you everything is gonna be laden with commercial with food. You're gonna have your coworkers, You're gonna try to go to work. You're gonna go to work on Thursday. If you're still open, your coworker go bringing up a string being cast role for lunch. Hey, I problem lunch for everybody? What you could cook. No, I'm not gonna go there.
16:44 But anyway, yeah, watch, Watch what's gonna happen Thursday. Watch, I promise you, and you don't tell anybody what you're doing. You don't tell anybody what you're doing. But watch watch, and. You're gonna say, oh ms, Grace said it. Your boss is gonna treat you all for breakfast lunch. Watch Watch which was gonna happen? Prayer five Communal prayer services are held in the synagogue acluding including specific readings and rituals. So what they do is they have their Torah and they're walking around with their shawls or their prayer shawls on and everything in the Jewish communities and in their synagogues, and. They're reciting prayer. They're reading from the Bible, from the Torah, from their Bible, and their reciting prayer. So of course you want to be in your word. That's you know.
17:32 I want to another sidebar here. I had to go hang out with Belisia over the weekend, and so I took a word search Bible word search, and I was so, I mean, and I love this particular one and I'll show it next week. But it explained certain things is certain. The words that you're looking for, And I was like, okay, it was nice to get that historical update. So then in the next page is where you're trying to find the words and everything. And I'm sitting there finding these words stuff, and I was just I was just smiling. I was just so tickled because I was like, Oh my god, that's what that means. Oh there, that is what is going on with the government. Should we be worried? What we need to know? Mistery? I you know, it's every year they have that, you know, the everybody that both sides got to come together and come up with a budget or they say we got to you know, shut it down. I don't know what may happen. I just don't want you you've not watching the news. You got to watch the news sometimes, but you know, stickyheaded or Facebook news.
18:28 You know, but stick yourheaded and check it out. I don't know. We'll know tomorrow. Hopefully they'll convene and keep the government open. I don't know that means, you know, your government facilities like your uh the mail and and garbage pickup and anything that stayed FASD and city ran they can shut down for a minute, they may pull it out. They always pull it out the hat, and we got another six months that we can stay open. So this is just this is. They don't even do it for the year anymore. They just month by month almost. So I'm just saying, I'm just saying, just keep your head on the swivel and watch and listen.
19:08 Okay, prayer, see okay. Let me go back this way, fasting prayer, synagogue worship. Many Jewish people spend the day at the synagogue, often wearing white to symbolize purity. Okay, customs, and they have customs and they're wearing white, and. The real, real traditional Jewish folk. Some avoid wearing leather shoes, a historical symbol of luxury. But you don't have to go that far. You could just you know, just fast and study your word. And I want to go back over the Lord wanted me to go back over the steps of the righteous. The steps so the righteous are as follows.
19:50 Number one, You study the word. You study the Bible to show yourself approved, so you could rightly divide the God's truth. You don't go out there just speaking off of will and nilly. No, you need to study his word. Get a knowledge, Get your knowledge and understanding of that word, get the revelation from God, which he will give it to you as long as you're sitting there in a student postured position and ready to hear and not just take it for granted. We you know, I know, Trey and I we we grew up in church, going to church, and we supposed to believe that man or that woman in that pulpit, whatever they say, we don't need to check it. That's that's the man or woman of God, and we're supposed to believe that. But there are times you walk out and I'm like, that don't make sense, make and I'm not I would never go back and question Reverend Henley from Greater Bethel Primitive Baptist Church.
20:43 I just walked out and I was shaking my head like what. And it took me years. It was years later, No, it wasn't. Yeah, a few years. Later that I actually began to study the word, read the word, study it for myself, and oh boy, I was like, oh my god, what was he saying? You know? And it's so much. And that's where a lot of Christians who have been in church for over fifty years, sixty years as seventy years or longer. They're wondering, why, why is all this new religion? What's all this new Bible? No, it's not new Bible that it's just it's revelation that you should have received from the pastor that you sat under for so long and you paid your tie, you worked yourself to death in the church, and whatever the case may be.
21:27 In any assignment they gave you, you took it. You didn't ask God if you're supposed to take it, if you're supposed to do it, and things like that. So God has given us some time in between to catch up, and in some of us, he's had to push us, accelerate us to where He needs us to be so that we can be hearing from Him and understanding. Our role in this life. Okay, I'm a pause there. Does anyone have anything y'all want to add? Go for it. Good evening. As that you can have water, you can't have water, if that's what God's a lot is, or say that you can have water, that's fine. Yeah, if God says it, that's you know. It's funny because in both times when Jesus was he was teaching, and the first time he said and fed the five thousand. He's like, we need That's where the five loads you know of Britain and the two five loaves and fish came into play. He purposely strategically said, okay, we're gonna fast. The very next chapter he's accidentally feeding forth.
22:28 There was about four thousand, not counting women and children. He was just walking and he. Just happened to just, you know, sit out on the rock and look and told the disciples, we got to feed these people unless they think I've called a fast, So make sure that whatever your fat, whatever you're doing, whatever God tells you to do from this point forward. You do that. I know for me, this is what I got to do. I got to that, and that's a complete fast. You have nothing, and I'm just gonna feed off of God's word and his and the glorified you know. Christian Us, the things like that. But thank you, old Ka, You're right go ahead, guys, I'm sorry. I just want to add. As far as repentance, I feel like it's important to be specific of what you're repenting for and also including everything, any and everything. You can always ask God, like what do I need to who do I need to forgive or you know, anything I've done that wasn't pleasing to you or of you. You know what I'm saying, Just being specific on that and making sure you're going back into your past as well, because you need to repent of everything. And I also want to add as far as asking God before you do, whether it's friendships, relationships, anything, opportunities, anything.
23:38 Don't just shoot for it because it sounds good, because that's what the devil wants, you know, for you to just go for it and then it doesn't work out. So just asking before you do, praying before you do is just highly important on this journey. I just want to do right. And I think just to add to that too, you can ask forgiveness of things that you know were probably sinful and things that you weren't aware were sinful at the time that you did it. So when or what is considered sin so you know, just knowing and unknowing you know, forgive or repent of those sense. Amen, thank you, thank you, because there are times you don't know that you've sined, You don't know that it is wrong. It's like, oh and you don't mean any harm.
24:28 You know, how many of us have passed on stories. No one. I should not have to tell you that this is confidential, this is between you and I. But you know, you just happen to oh yeah, well, how is cla Well you know she's doing okay, but you know now they got everything held up in and probate now so that she can't even pay her bills. Did Claire tell you to tell anybody that. You know you don't mean any harm, You don't mean you and you don't call it gossip, But did Claire give you permission? And there are times I've been on the box, I say, okay, this is between you and I, right, I I shouldn't have to say this, but this is confidential. I have to say it because then the Lord is telling me to let them know this is between you and that person. And it's like oh okay, yeah, oh okay.
25:10 You know. So I hope that helps. And I'll talk more about. The other holidays that's coming up behind yon Kapoor, because there's one that you've got to have a nice seat offering, you've got to have a big offering, and yeah, we'll talk about that some more so. But anyway, who else is in the audience out there? Who else is listening to us. I know most of you think, well, we'll never say anything, so they won't know I'm actually listening. I know there's some other eyes out there, some other ears, some additional ears out there, and we just like to say good evening. I mean, we're not gonna call you out or anything. We'll just you know, I just like to know. But I sense that we're not alone. And I ain't say a meteorite flying through the air.
25:52 I'm sorry, go ahead, no, no, no, But I'm just gonna like just just saying, because I keep hearing it and I keep saying it, that people need to discern what being a Christian really is. You know, we're it's loosely. Throwing what throwing around terms and what God wants and what people are deemed to be Christianity and christian like. And the God, I said, does not do some of these things that people are saying that are cruel, intensionally cruel or thinking that they're trying to sway or or or miscunscrew or whatever the wording is about other folks, you know, slanderous or you know, just derogatory, you know, trying to stay away from the r word the racist stuff, but discream. You know, some people they you have to really understand that Christ loved everyone and God made us all in His image. And to belittle and put down anyone and make others feel bad because they are not of the race or the religion or whatever that you are.
27:04 That is not being christ like. You know. And I want to say that because there's so many people who are lost that are looking and seeking God. But they need to watch and watch who and what they're listening to, because it's easy to get turned around. And I'm just so thankful that I understand what my God wants or expects. I'm not perfect, but I think I. Know the God that I know does not do a lot of this that stuff that or say the stuff that are spewed out of people's mouth and and and it's and it's and it's disheartening and and you know, and people who are in the roles that are leading, are in the pulpits or heads of faith based organizations and stuff like that. You have people coming to you because they're hurting, and and and you have to be kind of careful because they're delicate. You know, there's no hurt to me there's no hurt like church Ard, it's it's you know, I've had church heard. But it doesn't then stop me from trusting God because I know who God was. I was just disappointed with the people that I thought was.
28:21 Really you, you know, what are we doing here? For real? You see this happening. You know you're allowing this to happen. And so how much of are we talking? Hey, I don't know. That's a that's a misgreat question, that's a miss great question. But I just wanted to put in, you know, my stuff. But I did want to say that because there's so many there's so much stuff going on, and people don't know what to think. And but our God and our is not divisive at all. He doesn't He's not divisive or divisive. He does not want us to hate each other. He wants us to love each other. And that's my spill.
29:03 And I'm gonna keep saying that. I'm gonna keep saying that, stop using Christianity to feel your stuff. And man, you gotta be very careful. Thank you, trade You're right because even though several times in the New Testament Jesus makes his position real quar he said, I came to divide. I have a two edged sword. My word is a two edged sword. It's gonna bother you. Going in a family of five three or before me, two will be against me. That's what the division he's talking about. So you know, I don't know why I kept using this as an example. I can lead you to the water. I could tell you that water is good over there, you see, it's right over there, right over there, But I can't make you drink it. And maybe in some cases you're not supposed to drink it, you see, because you've got in your head whatever that is.
29:49 And children, yes, I know. People cannot believe that a child can be born with evil thoughts. It's in Psalms fifty eight, verse three. It's there. Children are born, evil speak and lies from the wound. It's there. That's why you need to study your word, and God will give you revelation on that amen. Jesus said, you know, another division one when the newest disciple came in and Jesus was teaching, and the little fellow, they didn't tell him, don't interrupt the Lord. The master's teaching, you know, And and he come to Jesus. Your mother's outside and your brother and Jesus, hey, Elda, jalis to the sea is in the house? Uh, he said, who is my mother? Who is my brother?
30:32 Except they that do the will of my father. So there you go. And I know, people, you. Know I and I get it, and this is it's gonna be a hard it's a hard discussion to have. But I really don't have time to whole hands. We really just don't have time to hold hands. There are churches out there that are still for new babes in Christ that they'll teach you. They'll teach you the basics, they'll teach you the love of God, they'll teach you that new Believers class. Everybody should take an believe His class. If you've not taken one in your church, in your chosen church, you need to take one. If you've been in the. Church for fifty years and you've never taken one and the church offers it, you need to take it to the pastors out there and the teachers. You need to put spiritual warfare in there. I know y'all go to the Book of John.
31:17 I get it. But you got to teach spiritual warfare in those five to six weeks. You got to because that. Babe in christis like, oh God loves me, Yes he does. Oh, God's gonna protect me. Oh my God. And then he goes out and he's hacked. His bank account is hacked. Wait a minute, God loves me. Why would he let that happen? And y'all like to just keep blaming God? Why would God let that happen? God don't let nothing. We put that into motion. We put it in the motion. A lot of stuff. If they fighting about now, Trey, y'all put that in motion. We were sitting over here, really were trying to feed here in Orlando. You can't. It's against the. Lord to feed the homeless, the feed the people out there in the street. Well, where said they gonna go?
31:58 They can't walk into our food bank and get food because only faith based organizations can go in there and sign up and get the food and then distribute it. So white, what can't we But you know my thing is, and my daughter can attest to this, and God say, don't go feed my people. Feed about twenty. Five people to day. Okay, what we're giving them, they can give them lunchables or you can give them this. When there are times beliee here was led to go and get just happy meals, happy meals and a bottle of water. And I've told you every time when God tells us to go do something, the devil sees that we're doing it. So he makes sure that they're not. You know, you can't find them all of a sudden, now we can't find them. We got to go down behind buildings and storefronts and stuff like that.
32:43 We can't find the people. But any other day they walking in front of your car. Any other day they are loaded up at this place. So they're loaded up here, they're loitering. They're hanging out in places they don't need to be. Y'all started that, and the separation between church and state. Don't let me get on that. On one hand, you want politics in the church. On the other hand, you don't want to talk about policy. We ain't talking about those people. But you went to lunch with them last week. What can't we tell me not? You don't need to tell me who to vote for. And then I say, every church need to have politicians. And that's if that's your spiel, if that's. How God tells you to run the how to run things, that's fine. But don't keep clouding this thing. For those of you who want grants, and I'm to step on some toes now organizations out there, you want these grants from these state ran organizations, they will tell you.
33:30 We could tell you, take. That cross off the wall, take those bibles off that shelf. We're giving you public money. That's now that's drying up. That's another story, another shelf. You got to be creative. Answer mister Charles question about how healthy healthy. To give me? See Charles, you got somebody. Now, A seed offering is not like a tithe. Tithing is ten percent. That's that's that's before tax and everything you make eight hundred before taxes, eighty dollars is ten percent goes to God. Done done. As you've been a consistent tither, God will open up the doors of seed offering, and this type of offering, I would call it a seed offering. There's no there's no amount, there's no percentage. It's whatever God tells you to do for me. God just showed me the denomination.
34:22 If it's you know, several hundred dollars bills, that's im that's what I'm to give. So he just shows me, you know, visually and I'm I'm done. I don't I don't question that because I've lived a life of over twenty some odd years of provide giving, seed offering, and I'm telling you and you can't beat God giving. So whatever he tells you to do, follow it, follow through with it. So there's no amount. Charles. Now, if you want to see and you don't have any place to see, setting it straight, we'll get We'll see your receipt. We'll see your receipt. I'm not asking for anything. Don't be going out there trying to twist my words. Be careful, don't do that. I put my name in your mouth. That's not gonna be good for you.
35:06 I'm just saying. Because maybe I don't know who to give it to. Okay, not a problem, have not because you asked nothing any other questions out there. Talk to me, y'all, call to me. I know y'all out there. I know that you're out there, and it's one or two of you that are new and I know you're listening, like why Yeah, this is what's setting it straight with Ms. Gray is all about. We just try to we pull back back the curtain, we pull back the leaves and let you see the forest and the trees, and we challenge. You to go find it for yourself. You don't have to believe nothing that I say. You don't have to believe nothing that we say. Go research it for yourself and then come back and tell us you're finding. That's what's Studying that word and getting.
35:47 Back to the steps of the right to study, to show yourself approved so that you can rightly deny the truth. Meditate on that word. Meditate on those scriptures. I got a group of people, a half of mother and a handful of people that. Oh so ninety one, and then I would ask them, what does that mean to you? Well, you know, because that's not my scripture. I'm just wondering what does it mean to you? And it should mean something to you. You got it. I was telling the kids and that we had a Bible family Bible study last night, and I said Romans twelve and one. I know it because I recited every night before midnight, I present my body a living sacrifice only acceptable unto the which is my reasonable service. I lived up.
36:27 Okay, So meditate on this word day and night, back and pray, back and pray, watch and pray. I think we all were silent the first lot of the shows. We were here before we before we started chatting. Thank you, missy, thank you. I appreciate that because I know you're right. What oh wow, we're going to get some answers now. And while they're talking about health stuff okay, self care, what long legislative Okay, yeah, we all want a mixture of everything. We are. That's what we do. Wait till you see October's lineup. J was loaly boy. October is a big month, health month.
37:08 But anyway, so you're gonna watch him prey, then you're gonna enter his courts. You're gonna give up your first fruit. You're tied in your offering, your seed offering. Then you enter his course with thanksgiving and prey and these these principles run simultaneously. It's not like this season you're gonna just give. Well, this season you're gonna watch him pray. No, you have to do it all together. A really good show to learn from all, Misty, I bet you say that the shows partistic. Thank you, but I'm just saying, study his word. You got to understand and. And I wish I think that my next season dealing with social media is gonna be talking about spiritual warfare that I because nobody.
37:54 You're still not preaching this thing. You're not teaching it right or enough, and say that you're not teaching it enough because people don't understanding about the leap. You know that Jesus didn't come back on the twenty thirty, didn't come on the twenty fourth. And I got people trying to jump off a ledge, can't you hear Leary? We're not gonna know until we see people moving. We're not gonna know until all of a sudden the sound go ahead, baby. I want to say, because I was gonna say basically what you said of how it's just crucial to read the word for yourself. You can't believe why are we believing what people say? Like, you know, it's kind of confusing, because why are we just from one message and it being about God, we're automatically believing it. Why are you not reading your word to understand for yourself? If you read your word, if you knew the Bible, you have not thought fell for that video. You have not fed into it, you know what I'm saying. So it's just like it's very crucial to read for yourself and know and test people's fruits as well, Like, why are we believe in somebody we don't even know how. They aren't even know if they're of God for real.
39:01 They could be talking about God. Our enemies saying they know the Bible. Yes, say that they know the Bible. So it's like, you know, they twisted in their own perception or whatever the case may be. But why are we believing that just because somebody's saying, oh, I got a message from God or I got a message from somebody, or whatever the case may be, why are we believing that I just again piggyback, piggybagging off you. It's just crucial to read your word and just learn it for yourself. You cannot trust or believe anything. And that's the whole thing with having discernment, knowing if this person is truly of God. Yeah, because it's like why are we you know, like that makes no sense, but I mean you have to learn to.
39:48 Depend on You're going to lean to your own understanding. And then you're wondering why your people are happy, and you're like, why are they so happy? Because God's word is come in the past, Go ahead, trade you were gonna say something just at. So, so don't I if I understand right? Don't they say that? Isna said that the Satan knows the Bible. Yes, remember in Genesis we were he was there before he was kicked out of heaven. He knows the road map and always what's the difference, though, the devil, Satan, Lucifer, whatever you call him, the evil one, the decisive one, the divisive one, his workers of iniquity. Oh, he imitates. He can't create nothing. The Creator has already created us technology, everything we are today.
40:31 And God, there's a scripture. God said, I make good and evil for myself. You could have put Satan on. In time out. Say you know what, no more, no more, no more glory, no more light from you. You gonna sit in the corner for a minute. We don't want to hear nothing from you. Be quiet, face the wall. Oh, God said, oh. You want to be big and bad, All right, I'm getting you out of heaven though, But look at job one. God convenes the brethren, and who's flying to and fro Satan is job chapter one? And God said, what are you doing here? He said, when you call the brethren, he said, I'm just going to and fro. So stupid he is. And God said, well, have you considered by servant job? He said, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, you got to head your protection around that. No, that's a setup. You try to you try to take me out before my time.
41:18 No no no, God said, no, no, no, no, no, go ahead, but don't kill him and don't touch the hair on his head. But that dummy, what does he do? He tries to kill with the words of his three best friends. They sitting there looking, jie, what did you do? There's a three or four chapters per per friend. How they're ridiculing him, bullying him, trying to get him to confess. You had this sad You know you're the most righteous man in the land. God took everything, the dope, the rooster, the kids. Don't forget the kids, the kids. The family, the servants, and Job's like and all those chapters. Forty three chapters back and forth speaking to a chapter thirty seven thirty eight, chapters one through thirty six, thirty seven.
42:07 Teacher Dad, God does that word till jump to thirty. Seven, thirty eight, thirty eight forty and then he bleed. Then it's chapter forty two. He said, now tell your friends Job. Now look at the power you have. Tell your friends, I'll forgive them if you forgive them, but they got to bring a gift to you. Y'all read chapter forty two. Go go read chapter Joe, chapter one that I want you to go all the way to Joe forty two. Okay, and read what God, what the prerequis. It is for God to forgive you. But take it. Because you all didn't speak by name, You just speak by word. You didn't look at you. Yeah, you said he's a righteous but you you don't know nothing what he was living by. You don't know the words that he knew that came down from Moses.
42:53 And because you didn't speak of me, you'll say it. Go to chapter forty one and forty two. There you go. He'll see it. You speak of me. But but if he forgive you, I'll forgive you, but you gotta bring a gift. Gotta bring a gift, and he's then job is restored. I'm telling you, just start studying the word. Just start studying the word, and it will just blow your mind as to the authority the power Jehovah witnesses used to knock on my door. So don't read the between the verse, all right, Charles, you're trying to be funny. You trying to be okay. Your homework is gonna be between now and the next Monday. I want you to read the whole book of Joe. I want you to take notes, and you come on next Monday. So you're trying to be funny.
43:36 You can read the whole book, of course, but. Your homework, Charles, will be You're gonna study the whole Book of Joe from one to forty two, and you're gonna take notes, and you're gonna come on the air and you're gonna talk to just about it. You're gonna let me know you did it. I don't care if you put a thumbs up. You're gonna be exhausted. It's okay, now, I'm just joking. No, that's your homework, though, for real, you act, you act be ready in and out of season. You got to be ready. Got two minutes, man, I mean it just it goes slow in the beginning, then it is a little the time is gone. But no, I didn't understand. Oh I thought you said to read and skip them. I did, Okay, Okay, okay, you don't have to do the homework, all right.
44:18 Charles is real cool. No, no, no, I did not understand. You're right. I did say, read chapter one and chapter four forty two. Read chapter forty one also, but forty two is of importance. Okay, so yes, but if you want to read all forty two chapters, I'll take I'll take the homework away from you as far as reading. The whole book. But tell me again, I'll do fo Charles, you're really just trying to read the whole blood. Read the whole blood. It's very informal. Okay, Well, miss k has spoken. I can't do nothing with that. You will see it. If i'm you'll learn a lot, but mainly chapter one and chapter forty two, okay, because I want you all to see the power. Don't let this book intimidate you.
45:04 Don't let you be a You don't have to be afraid of that. And Miss Kate mentioned the fruits of the spirit. I want to go to the fruits of the spirit that's found the Galatians chapter five, verses twenty two to twenty three. Okay, right, Charles, thank you, and those It's nine virtues, love, joy, and peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Okay, and there's fruits of the spirit, and there's gifts of the spirit. Let me go there. That's the fruits. Let me go to the gifts real quick, because you hear people say you'll know them by their fruits of the spirit, and that's what they're talking about. And then we've got gifts of the spirit. The terms gift of the spirit can refer to to the two distinct sets of spiritual abilities found in the Bible.
45:50 They called the gifts of grace, such as wisdom and knowledge, often associated with different religions. And then there's nine which. Is wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernments, an interpretation of tongues. Okay, church, just update. If you've got somebody speaking in tongues, you need to have an interpreter in there, that is, and if you're speaking it from the pulpit, you need to interpret it, and you can ask God to help you to interpret it. I didn't realize I had to give the prophecy. It would come out in my classrooms. And then I finally said God, I got the ham can you can I have the interpretation gift to because I don't know what this said. I just know it hits people in the room, but I would like to know what's being said. So he's over time.
46:34 He's given me that, so you can ask God, you know what is it? Ask the Holy Spirit to be activated in you, lay your hands on yourself and we are gonna go because it's we're one minute in and we're done. Guys, we love you so much, and thank you Master G for tuning in as well. Thank you my taekwondo instructor. She had to text me she sees she's listening on radio. Thank you so much. God bless you all. I hope you take heed to this. Look into the the high holy days of the Jewish faith, of God's children and their and our faith. Follow it to the best of your ability. That's all we ask, because you will not be perfect. We're gonna say good night. See next week, same station.
47:16 Q is int
