I'm going to play a few things and then we're going to be tying things together. Let's open up with efficient, I believe you're chapter 4. Let me see, I think there is, I don't think we've got chapter 5, chapter 5, chapter 5. Alright, it's just resuming, let's pick up from where, near and near the marina, left us. Alright, so 5 is where we're going to, in a sense, climb marks, but... Well, we've got chapter 4, what do I see? 5 begins with 4, so it begins with therefore, so what we're going to do is, I'm going to do from chapter 3, verse 4. Oh, it has a concert, 5 concert 4 concert. Yes, yes, yeah, but it's going to be, it will be, the 4 starts with the 5, chapter 4 starts with the 5, the 4. So, that was before this talks about Christ and how, you know, how His head over all things, and how, you know, and how, you know, the sense have been growing in Him and the progress in Christ, the identity in Christ and the identity of Christ also, alright? So, going from quest 14, now it says, "For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He will grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inamal." Alright, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might, with might through His Spirit in the inamal. Alright, now, on topic of intercession, this is, it actually highlights one of the, one of the, the framework of intercession. You see, because in intercession, Paul here is interceding for the saints, and he's saying that, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit, right? So, when a believer, if a believer is to pray this prayer, the believer can say something like, "You know, I am, I am strengthened with might through His Spirit," right? "I am strengthened with might through His Spirit," and this prayer of declaration, right, actually not being so triggered or strengthened. Well, in case of intercession, you pray on behalf of all the person, right? You can, you are able to, you are able to intercede from, for them in such a way that God, like through your intercession, grace is added to the believers that makes them experience this grace easily, or easier. Does that make sense? Yeah? Yeah? So, as I look places you see, Paul say, for example, you know, you say that, I pray that God will give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. You see? So, it is not that God is keeping you from them, but it's that, see, Him praying that is because he is aware of the state of the people, of the believers, that these people may not yet be able to arrive at this through their own discipline and commitment. What do you mean? Yes. Not exactly, because these are persons, this is a person, the Spirit of wisdom that brings revelation, is a person. You know, it's not like the Holy Spirit that you have an infinite of. This Spirit of wisdom is an actual person, all right? And this is the topic of seven spirits. That is seven spirits. In fact, that can be a whole one-year Bible school, just the seventh spirit. Yeah, seven spirits is a different topic that even I am a sopam. Well, that I myself, not even, not even, I'm still, yeah. I'm a sopamam. I'm also being in awe of and also exploring and learning things about, because the seven spirits of God, they operate a whole different ball game, they operate a whole different ball game. They function on the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is God, but in these seven spirits, proceed from God as individual spirit that have specific roles and responsibilities in the believer's lives. Now, one interesting thing about the seven spirits of God is that they are predominantly residents outside of, let's start with outside of time, outside of time, right? Of course, like the angels and the seven spirits are far even before the existence of angels. Seven spirits are one of the first acts that God did. All right, seven spirits. So, and the seven spirits have a responsibility of growing the believer, a responsibility. And so, sorry, didn't you mention last time? I think we were talking about again, the seven spirits and one of them, it is the wisdom. Yes, yes, exactly. Yes, the spirit of wisdom. Yes, that's one of them. All right. So, these seven, they have responsibility to grow the believer into sonship, right, into sonship. That is their main purpose, not for ministry, not for, you know, it's into sonship. Like, they have in mind to bring the believer up to the complete image of Christ. They don't have ministry in view. They don't have life in the earth in view. You know, when a conversation is like, oh, you know, should I go here? Should I go here? You know, should I take job or to get our job? You know, the Holy Spirit, you know, we have that conversation with the Holy Spirit. The seven spirits, they primarily are not concerned about what's happening in the earth. They're probably not concerned about ministry. They are primarily concerned about you becoming a Christ. See, and so, because of that, as you walk with them, what happens is that they need to train you how to actually learn from them outside of time, outside of time, because learn from them. Yes, yes, yes. Learn from them, because they are also teachers. They are, they are, they are to equip us. They are to stretch us. They are to enlarge our hearts. They are also teachers. Does it like to give, let's say, a season of desert and search them in that situation? No, no, no, no, no. This, the more you grow as, as we grow, we just encounter them. And yeah, we don't encounter them. And we're going to learn from them. And as that happens, we become more familiar with them. And as we become more familiar with them, they begin to teach. And you come to a project, for example, you could, you could, you could have a dream. And the dream feels like it's lasting for hours, and you wake up with just five minutes. You see, I used to say that in those hours, you have learned so much in that dream that that felt like ours, and just in five minutes in time. Yes, a lot of times that is the seven spirits or one or more of seven spirits teaching you how this thing works, teaching you that you can actually come to know many things in such a short amount of time. And, and the more you grow in that, the more you're able to know so much in seconds. Because that is the, that's the job of the seven spirits. And because they dwell far out of time, they are trying to bring you to where they are to teach you there. See, and so, and so the, the, the, the apostle Paul, you know, is praying and saying that, that, that they believe us are to be strengthened with might. The might here is trying to be spirit of might, not just might, but this is the spirit of might, because, because he has to be strengthened with might through his spirit, to be strengthened with might through his spirit. And there is the spirit of might. There is, which is one of the seven spirits. Um, you see, like I said, like, how we just said that, you know, they are, they are for the equipping of the believer to become like Christ. I'm not about, you know, they're not familiar about like how life is going on the earth. All right. And so, so Paul is interceding for them that there would be a grace, there would be an added grace for them to be to experience this easier. So, because if the believer is praying for, for the spirit of mind, they, they are going to do things slightly different than this. But when it comes to intercession, we are able to request that it's a particular believer that that that a particular believer is giving grace for them to experience things easier. Make sense? Can we say that the seven spirits are God or it is not appropriate? No, it is, it is not appropriate because they're not. Yeah, not. Yeah. The Holy Spirit is God. And the seven spirits are seven distinct characteristics of God. But because they are characteristics of God, that's also why they can receive worship. But how can you know if, for example, you're asking for wisdom from God, how if you're sitting that wisdom from the Holy Spirit or from, for example, the spirit of wisdom? Good. So first, so if, if you cannot yet discern, then we attribute it all to the Holy Spirit because it's all from the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is God and these seven spirits are under the Holy Spirit anyway. So yes, the Holy Spirit eventually would want us to grow and to discern to know what exactly is happening. But as we start, yes, we can attribute everything to the Holy Spirit. Even when it comes to angels, sometimes you, sometimes you are led or you hear something and you think it's God, but actually an angel. Now you could actually, you could attribute it to God. And of course, God is pleased because it's all from him. But he wants us to grow, to have to descend that this is an angel because that's what happened with Paul when he was on his way to Rome. You see, and, and, and, and the ship capsized in Malta, right? An angel appeared to him and told him that not a single hair of anyone in this, in this boat will be lost because of you. And he went to the, the, the, the captains of the ship. I mean, he was like, an angel of the Lord who myself has appeared to me, not very specific, an angel of the Lord that appeared to me and said, see, that is intelligence. If Ipola said, you know, the Lord said he will not be wrong. He won't be wrong. But as we grow, God wants us to, to be so discerning that we can know exactly what is happening. And we can, like Paul say, an angel of the Lord appeared to me, we can be very specific. So as we grow, yes, God will expect that from us. But, but, yeah, initially, of course, we can be like the Lord said, you know, God said the Holy Spirit said, yeah, as we grow, things become more specific and we are able to know how exactly the Holy Spirit is saying this thing. You know, yeah, yeah. So this is intercession on, on this side, because we're going into, we're going to climb intercession as we, as we go on, side by side, the other things. So intercession in this is the, you are able to pray for someone in such a way that, you know, that through your prayer, through your prayer, there will be some kind of added, some kind of added mercy towards that person. See, for example, you create a story in a son's testimony, the Book of Christ. I went here at this money, they are like, you know, you know, someone like, you know, God tries to get me so many ways, you know, you know, someone preached to me two years ago, I rejected and then two months later, and that person came to me and then two months later, I saw this thing and at the good, and the good, they would be like, wow, God tried in so many ways to get to me eventually I received. Yeah, so it's not that God loved the person more. You see, boy, there are different factors, and one of them could be that someone was interceding for that person. You see, and so it's not that God was like, okay, someone's interceding, let me go help. No, no, boy, it's like intercession by itself cost that to happen. You see, because the prayer of a righteous man does much, it does much, not, not to God, but two situations. You see, so when a person has a story like that, and you be like, oh, but my, my dad, my brother, my sister, no one came to them. It's not, it's not on God. You see, the reason why this other person, this person with testimony had more, more, more opportunities. It's not because of God. I mean, directly, again, it's because a righteous person made this happen. A righteous person made it happen. You see, of course, we see, of course, we can say praise God, but then it's the way here is that you have to, you see, God wants us to know how things work. He wants us, we're his children, you see. So, of course, we're like, yeah, praise God, but he doesn't like, he expects that if a, if a younger believer touches you and you're like, well, why is that my dad for many years, don't get sick. God expects that you have the wisdom to know how to answer, to know what is going on here and how this is different from your dad, because a lot of people just say, yeah, you know, God, God time is the best. And I'll be like, well, my dad died. So, when it's God's time then, you see, so God expects us to know how his kingdom works. God expects us to know how his kingdom works, so that we also know how to navigate it, you know, so that if we see someone that God has put on our heart to pray for, we know what to do, we know what to do, and God expects that God wants to trust us with souls. He wants us to know that our prayers can do much. Not that it moves God to Daniel, do things, but our prayers move situations in the earth. God wants us to know that, because this is how he trusts us, you know, because the more we grow, the more he trusts us with things, the more he trusts us with things. So, if a believer is someone that, you know, like, yeah, I'm praying for the soul, but you know, when God is ready, God's time is the best. You see, God will trust that believer with less. God will trust that place. Because of his knowledge. Yes, because of his understanding of God, and his understanding of his identity. See, when the believer grows to understand that, no, God's time is now. God's time for the salvation of the entire world is now. It's now. Tomorrow is too late. Tomorrow is too late. So, where the delay is coming from is the church. Not from God, too. As the blood grows to understand this, to understand that every knee being bent, every tear has been shared, every prayer being made towards the lost, is causing that delay to be shortened. See, is that kind of personal that God will trust more with? Because that person understands what is really going on. And so, God can tell that person, you know, pray for the upcoming U.S. elections. And God can, that is entrusted in the right hands. Because this person will not be like, well, you know, whoever God wants to win, will win anyway. God is sovereign. If, if God has Kamala Kamala to win, he will, I will just pray for his will to be done. God cannot trust a person with such wavy things. Is he God interests? God comps to a person I can really trust. Tell the person I see. This is my, this is my choice candidate in this, in this election, exactly. So, it's not that God's perfect, but that the people have chosen. Yeah. There are two or three, you know, and God is like, the person who is able to accomplish the most he is this person. Not that person is perfect, but out of these two or three, this is the one that would cause the least harm. That makes sense. And God tells that this is the person out of these guys. And so now you, God, God expects that we know what to do with that information. God expects that, see, if that person loses, God expects that we know how he lost. Does that make sense? God expects that you, we should come to him knowing that, yeah, God, I know you wanted this person to be the one to win. But we may, we may be able to get that done. And know that, well, God, you know, you are sovereign. It's your, it's your, yeah, that kind of person will not be trusted with much. You see, because that kind of person will not put the effort it takes. Because when you know that something, something lies in your heart, something, well, wait, when you know to what extent something depends on you, when you know to what extent you are responsible for something, you put more effort in it. Yeah. When you say that, God expects from us to do these things. Do you mean that for, I'd say the believers that have been in faith for more time than others? Because if you say that to a person that has just walked into their faith, they would be confused, I think, that's how they wouldn't understand how God would expect from them to have this knowledge in this way of thinking while they're still learning. I don't know about this. Yes. No, it does. And that's why I said, you know, the, the advanced trust level, the advanced trust level, a person that just received Christ now, you see, may have less trust than someone who has been walking with God for a longer time. See, I'm not because the person is doing something wrong, but because they, they need to mature. There are levels of growth. And which each, each level of growth comes with a level of trust. Yeah. You see, yeah. Another question. Sorry. When you're in to see for people, and let's say that you have been a believer for a very long time and you have the relationship with God. But for example, your friends were an unbeliever to believe, and they still didn't come to that. They're, they're still not coming to that place. Is this your fault or is their heart? All right. I don't know. That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. I would, I would, I would forget that, you know, something as before, no, no, no, no. But something mentioned before about, you know, God trusting a believer who was spent, how he was, who has believed for more years. See, growth, growth in Christ is not about years. Someone can receive Jesus today and grow, grow for the, in three weeks, then someone who has been able to, for, for three years. Like, you know, I, I, I had about a lady, young lady who received Jesus, and she came to know about no things of his spirit, and she was committed to, to becoming, no, to becoming like an intercessor over, over nations in this place of one year. And when I'm interested, I don't just mean like, oh, she can't go on the intercesses. I mean, like, God began, like God uplifted her and began to trust her with, with, with people, with nations in the, in the space of one year. And, and she, and she began to have encounters with all the intercessors from all over the world. So they would actually have meetings in the spirit and pray over these places. See, and all that happening in, in the space of one year. So, so it's not about, it's not about how much time a person has been in Christ. Someone can be in Christ for 10 years and, and, and, and, and beef, beef, far more, you know, far more, far more, like, and not have as much growth as song who has been in, been in Christ for two weeks. Yeah, it's, it's not about the, not about that, that's at all. Yes, well, that's also a renewal of the mind. Because somebody who's new delivery, you can put more stuff in it because he doesn't know so much of the battle, but the voice in the Bible from the beginning, it's more, more hard to understand the real stuff about the Bible, not the stuff you learned already. Yeah, yeah. Boy, if you had begun on, on, on great foots, you know, you had begun on great foots, you know, you have changed 10 years, 10 years you do just, yeah, because, yeah, in fact, I, I have, I have grown, well, I believe that I have grown more in the past three years than four years before that, you know, I've, I've been in person 2015, like following Christ, like, you know, 2015, boom. Yeah, the last three years, if, in fact, I spend more time on learning things of the pre of the past five years, you know, like, yeah, the, the, the last three years, I, I, I grew two to three more than five years before that, you know, so it's, it's, it's, it's about, it's about, the, the, the, the life that the Bible exposes himself or herself to the, the, the truth of God, the unadoltrated truth of God. See, what if you tap it, I said, add new bomb, baby, desire this sincere, of, of God, this sincere, of Christ, sincere, that's unadoltrated, like, desire the very spotless, the pure, because if the milk that you receive is, is stained with something that, that affects growth, affects, and so to the next question, see, it may not necessarily be that it's your fault. All right, boy, it's, boy, boy, you have to have it in your conscience that you did what you could. Yeah, you have to have it in your conscience that you did what you could, because now as we grow, and, and God gets the trust us, as Lord trust us more with more, trust us with more things, you begin to know certain specifics. The, the Lord can tell you, like plainly they know, the salvation of this person depends on you. And, and with that also comes the wisdom of how to go about it. So then, as you grow, things become as plain as that, you know, so like, as you grow, like, another person, as you grow, it can be a career change, where, you know, God, where God is like, this, the salvation of this group of people depends on you, you know, and, and, and it's not a, it's not a pressure thing, because for God to tell you, it means that he knows that you can't do it. He knows that you can't do it. And, and in that is also the wisdom in that statement, in that, in that word is the wisdom, in that word is the, in that word is the, is the, is the might is the resources that it takes in, in that word, you just want to understand how to open up that word, how to, where to go from there, but at that point, a lot of trust that you know how to go about them. See, yeah, in that word, because, um, what did he tell in a pita, um, when, when, when what just was working on the water, uh, in a pita, I was like, if it is you ask me to come, and Jesus said, come, come. What's so, what's so special about the word come, that, that, that give, that give pita's legs, the, the strength, and like, I guess, pita's legs, the, the, the, the mites, the, the give, give pita's leg, the, the, the, the consciousness to walk on water. What's the body what come? It's a war people say every day. What's, what's about the word come, that when Jesus said it, suddenly, suddenly, the, the, the, the, the, the, the science as we know it, science, science as we know it was defied in one word come. See, and, and, and, and it was, it was, it was, it was such a, cause, see, when, when pita began to, to, to, to, to, in a drone, Jesus said, why did you doubt? Because science, what did he doubt? What did he doubt? Yeah, that is, is possible. See, cause, which is not said, come, and pita, pita began to doubt the world, come, because it's not a word, come, cause it's, I think I'm doubt, if it was you, tell me to come, like, if it was something else or some other entity, why, we couldn't say come. So why would you, why would you, why, I mean, I don't get the rationale behind it. Behind what? Behind telling me if it's you, tell me to come, or it could have been, say, a demon or something. Yeah, yeah, or he can't tell him to come. You can't, but, yes. Yes, because in, in that word come, something happened to the body of pita, that pita as he walked knew that this, like, see, it wasn't just a word, see, in that, in that word come, pita, pita place is faith on that. And, and, and, and, and, and that provoked a confidence for him to step out of their boots. Yes. Yeah. See, and, and so, and, and if it was moving, see, anything is, he was, he was walking on the water, and again to drown, and just say, well, you're little fit. Why did you doubt? You see, you were believing the world. Why did you doubt? See, there is, see, so, so, because, see, see, see, see how much riches, how much resources was put in the world come. You see, because, no, sometimes, a lot of people are like, okay, no, I want to go do this. And, and you have to pray, oh, God, provide this, provide that, like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The point is, it's all in the world. Like, if it says, come, everything that you need for you to actually come is already provided in the world come. The blood just needs to know how to open it up, how to, how to trust in the world, how to, how to use, can we get the, the bell, the, the door, please. Oh, should I turn on the light also? Yeah, let's do the please. Thank you. [inaudible] You. [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] So, so that is the, that's side of the intercession. I'm so continue from efficiency. Sixteen. All right, that he will grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might through his spirit in the inner mind. For what reason? That Christ may dwell in the hearts. Yeah, see, that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith. So, the reason for the spirit of might, straightening the believer, it's not so that they can do well in ministry, it's not so that they can, you know, preach for days without, without losing strength. No, it's for Christ to dwell in your heart. That's the primary purpose of, of, of, of the seven spirits of God. And Paul is, see, because this is not something my intercession, knowing the specific thing that the believer needs. Like Paul didn't pray, think about Paul didn't pray. Uh, Paul didn't pray that okay. Like Paul knew that Christ dwelling in the hearts requires mind. Like think, how do you connect this to? For Christ dwelling, heart requires mind. How, how, how do you figure out, what's this mixture you've brought to us? See, because if the average believer is praying for Christ dwelling, someone else's heart, it'll be like, it'll be like, you know, oh God, pray that, you know, they, they go to church more of, you know, they pray every day, read the Bible every day. And of course, these are, these are, these are sincere and, and I'm powerful for prayer, because of, because of, because of, because of this imprinted believer, but we see Paul being very intelligent intercession. Paul knowing the Christ dwelling in the heart requires might, requires might, like it requires that the spirit of mind comes in and strengthens the person, because, because it takes strength for, for a person to comprehend Christ. Would that mean that the, it's a, the dwelling of Christ in a heart that grows us? Yes. That the more that we grow in might, the more of Christ that we get. Yes. The more the spirit of might strengthens the heart, the more Christ can dwell there. See, it's, because Christ, this is, this is like, Christ, Christ is a weight. He's a weight. But do we have, do we have to go through stuff to experience it, or do we know just through knowledge? Oh, there is the not just through knowledge, not only, not just by knew it in the, as, as knowledge, but by the, um, there is the, there is the work that happens, right? That's a different type. But look at the seven spirits of God. Yeah. That's, yeah. Okay. Seven spirits of God. I'm going to, and, and yeah. Yeah. Okay. Seven people of God. Um, I believe the first, that's when we do, I believe the first we're going to look at is the, the spirit of the fear of the Lord, because the spirit of fear of the Lord intends to usually open the door to these other guys, these other, you know, the spirit of wisdom, like improve up to say, you know, the fear of the Lord is beginning of wisdom, the fear of love, love is beginning of knowledge. So a lot of times these guys go together, but, but fear of the Lord is the one that, you know, and that's the reason why, but that's when, that's when, that's when seven spirits. Oh, that's when the timeframe, as, as I, as, as I, Yeah, it's there from where someone can have that in mind. Um, all right. So we'll go on. That craftsman dwell in your house through faith. That's you being rooted and granted in love, maybe able to comprehend with all the saints, what is the width and length, depth and height, to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge. All right. To know the love of Christ, that passes knowledge, that the believer may be filled with all the fullness of God, that the believer may be filled with all the fullness of God, that the believer may be filled with all the fullness of God. And that is the destination of the believer, that the believer is filled with all of the fullness of God, all of the fullness of God, all of the fullness of God. And, and it is the seven spirits, responsibilities to bring the believer here to a place where they are filled with all the fullness of God. And, and for that to happen, the believer has to know a love that passes knowing. So for the believer to know a love that passes knowledge, the seven spirits of God have to take that believer beyond knowledge. It's not just beyond time, beyond knowledge, because the believer has come to a place where he knows the love of Christ. Let's leave that. Why would I explain in a three-dimensional way, the love? Because it's the way that I can write. Yes, that's a three-dimensional thing. No, for land-bred depth height, yeah. So land-bred depth height, yeah. So experience love in a four-dimensional way. So it's not, it's not, it's not for dimension. See Paul is trying to make an answer that he wants or the believer to know the all the extremities of love. All the extremities. All right. Well, well, well, let's not, let's not, let's not do going to that. Okay. Yeah, let's, let's go on. So now, so him who is able to do accidentally abundantly above all that we ask or think, right? So the context of God, the context of God being able to do accidentally, abundantly above all that we ask or think is what he just talked about right now. That's a context. Like Paul isn't thinking about us or think like, you know, at least think about like job minutes. Like as Paul is writing, he's writing this based on the context of what he has just talked about. So based on how I'm growing and the receiving of the fullness of God. Yes. Yes, because that is what God is able to do. That's what God is able to do. God is able to transform the believer stretch them onto the, the, onto the, onto the, all the fullness of God. All right. And all that is done according to, according to the power that works in us. So all the stretching, all the becoming, the power that makes that happen is already in the believer. So it actually depends on how much effort the believer puts in. Like growth, growth depends on the believer because the part, the part that to make that happen is in the believer. It's Christ in the believer. That's not our emphasis for today. So he'll be glory in, in the, in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever. Amen. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling in which you were called. See, work worthy of the calling which you were called. What is the calling? See, it's in the same context. The calling is tied to the fact that, that, that, that God is, is, is, is working in the believer to be filled with all the fullness of God. That is the destination of the believer, being filled with all the fullness of God. And Paul is in that, therefore, we should walk worthy of that calling. Right? What word of that calling which we have been called with all loneliness and gentleness, with long suffering, bearing one another in love, and they, and they're willing to keep the unity of the spirit and the bond of peace. There is one body and one Christ just as you were called in one hope of your calling. So, as a believer, try to not keep malice with another believer. Try to not keep malice. Try to not, yeah, try to not, not keep, you know, hurts or, you know, try to not keep, try to, try to make, try to make sure that there is no believer in your heart that you have something against. Try to make, because he, Paul is saying them, we should walk worthy of calling which we have been called with all loneliness and gentleness, with long suffering, suffering, bearing with one another in love, and they're willing to keep the unity. You see, that means that that unity can be this, this word, this union, this union, and they're willing to keep it. See, that means that it's possible for it to not be kept. So, the person who, and they're able to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, because there is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling. So, as a believer, the believers end up arriving in the same place. See, that believer that you may have something against, that person, you end up arriving as one with that person. Yeah, see, it could be something that you know, you don't, you don't, you don't agree with your teachings and it's, you know, yeah, yeah, and they will, they will skip the unity. You see, bearing one another, because there is actually just one body. There's only one body. In the right of things, there's one body. So, that person that you, you may have something against, you two are not separate. That's why you want, you are one person. Yes, of course, you start from there. Yes, of course. I've said a believer, a believer. And they're about to keep the unity. You know, bearing one another, you see, because there's one, there's one, there's all one, one, one. Yeah, so as much as we can, you know, by God's grace, you know, forgive people, you know, let's go of hearts. Let's go, you see, like, why do you mean as long? Isn't it supposed to be natural? You can do it. It's supposed to be, both of us, but it's not. And that's, that's understandable. You know, people are still learning these things, learning these things. But, you know, and you should have the song that is, if any, how to forgive, take it into prayer. Like, like, look at, look at, look at who you are in Christ. Look at who you are in Christ, you see, because we have to be kind of people that forgive, is like, is, if I believe about forgive, like, for, like, nothing they've done. Who sees it? Let's, let's go on, let's go on. All right. So, there's one body amongst people, just as we're called in one hope if we're calling one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and father of all, who is above all and through all and in you all. But to each of us, grace was given according to the measure of Christ's, of Christ's gift, therefore he says, when he ascended on high, he looked up to be the captive and give gifts to man. Now this he ascended, what does it mean, but that he also Christ descended into the lower parts of the earth. He who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might feel all things. And he himself gave something to be opposed to some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, for the equipment of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, that we all come to the nitty of the faith and of the measure of snow of God, and to a perfect mounted measure of the such happiness of Christ, that we should no longer be children, those who are through and carried above with every window of doctrine, by the trickery of men in the calling-craftness of deceitful plotting. But speaking of truth and love may grow up in all things into him, who is head Christ. Now I'm reading fast, but when you do your personal Bible study, don't read fast. I'm reading fast because I'm using the Bible. Please don't copy me your private time. Every time I read slow, even if I'm going to a point, I just try to take it war for war, war for war, so you don't miss something. So I just going fast, just, yeah, get some context. All right, 15 was speaking in truth and love may grow up in all things into him. Who is the head Christ? From whom do you hold body, join the knee together, by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working, by which every part does its share, because it's growth of the body, for the edifying of itself in love. There's a lot here, and we've got some of this in the past. There's so much that Paul is saying here, because you see, Paul earlier, I was talking about the fullness of God, right? That was between the orphans of God. Now Paul is telling us how that happens, how that happens. That God has put gifts in the church, offices in the church, that through these offices, through these gifts, that people are going to be edified, you know, I'm being fueled with fullness of God. So 17, this I say therefore, I testify in the law that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk in the futility of their mind, having a understanding darkened, been alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart, who've been past feeling, having, have given themselves off to lewdness, to work on uncleanness with greediness, but you have not so learned Christ, you have not so learned Christ, and if indeed you have heard him, and have been taught by him as a truth in Jesus, that you put off concerning the former conduct, the old man, which grows corrupt, according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man, who was created according to God, all right? Put on the new man, who was created according to God, according to God, the new man is created according to God. So the new man is created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Anyone want to share anything? Something just jumped out when you were in the spirit of the mind? Yes, like in mindsets, basically in the mind, the spirit of the mind speaks like mindsets of a person, yeah, so the spirit, the word spirit there is not the same as other time periods. Yeah, no, no, no, it's how we say, you know, how we have, you people say, what's, yeah, well, yes, in this case is in mindsets, this person's mindsets, yeah, all right, so put on the new man, which was created according to God, according to God, that is something. That is something, that is something. See, if you look at a Greek word used, it speaks of according, it speaks of something being done to match something else. When you look at the Greek word, it's like a new man, which was created according to God, made up of God, and then God created something, in such a way that it, it matches. Yes, yeah, so, you know, the the Belva cannot say, the Belva should not say, okay, let me leave that, sorry, let me leave that for now. No, no, just, I mean, the Belva cannot say that they are no worthy of God's love. See Marina, you are so blessed, not really, like, for three, my name is two, look at you, Marina became saved in the healthy environment, like, I received Christ and yeah, oh, thing, and as sometimes we go back to them, like, so we kind of think, I realize, like, who thinks the front, I'm like, you're so blessed, you have that it was happening in the world. But, essentially, I had it popular, a popular minister say, of course, I want to say their names, so please don't ever think of asking me, you can point it going to my face. It's the said, this said that what, what got to Adam to not touch, in the garden of Eden, was it tight? Tight, like, tighten often, when God said don't eat of this tree, don't touch it, no, yeah, does this person say what got to Adam to not touch and eat of, is it tight, 10 percent? Exactly, no, that's, that's like, for my, it's Marina, that's like, but, who do you like? You see, she doesn't make any sense, right? Because he's not giving you the information, he's trying to point you up, like, give an example of something that you don't understand. Yeah, exactly, that's my point, is it because if you were there hearing that, you'd be like, that doesn't make any sense, yeah, but, eggs, yes, yes, you should not, that's my point, it's difficult, it takes, it takes the arrows to build for that to make sense. So, are we going to start tiring here as well? No, please, so that would be a good segue. I mean, but yeah, if you want to put it, oh my goodness, no, no, no, we, we, yeah, we will, like, we will, we will, we will never collect offerings in these sessions, unless, unless by a very, a very convicting fear of the Lord that, that, that then tells me, except that, and even that's, like, I don't need the confirmation from one another, because, no, we know, we know, we know how, we know how God provides, we know how God provides, it's, yeah, we know how God provides. All right, there's, there's a principle of sewing and ripping, and, yeah, and, and, I see it means, see, Paul said that, let's hear that his thoughts communicate to him, to him that teaches in all things. See, the, the concept of offering is dependent on after the believer has heard the word, not before. See, the, the, the believer gives in response to truth. That is righteous sewing, the believer gives in response to truth, because it is a truth that moves the believer to then give, that gives the reference to truth. And, and that giving is not always financial. Yeah, it's not always financial. It's, it's, it's sewing, it's sewing. It can't be in different way. It can be different ways. No, it's not, because what Paul said, let me communicate in all things, whole thing. It could be, it could be in, in some efforts of some kind. It could be in, in given of time, it could be, it could be in different ways, like, yeah, see, and, and as that, as that happens, right, as, as the word of God is being shared, and so many hearts of people, and people, people respond in different ways, which people in this group already do, respond in different ways. See, harvest comes, and harvest comes in a very intelligent way. Harvest, like, harvest is what comes. Imagine, like, harvest, because when, when we sow, we, we don't reap exactly the seed that we sow, you know, like, when you plant something, you don't get the seed bug, something else comes out of it, like a whole tree. You plant some, you plant something, it's circular seed, a whole tree comes out of it, but, but a lot of believers expect that they plant money and get money, like, like, but, see, the question is, when, when we sow seed, what, what, what, what gets to the spirit is righteousness, because the power says in the second Corinthians nine, right, say, we, we have rest righteousness. So when we sow, after we sow in righteousness, so what actually, what actually shows in the spirit is not the money, is the essence of our righteousness. So the people, in this spirit, I'm not thinking, oh, that, that, like I has, I'll give you some level. Look, they're saying that guy has sown righteousness. So now, when it's time to harvest, what has been harvested is righteousness. Well, that righteousness, that has to be harvested, when it now comes back in the physical, the righteousness, intelligently, finds real to manifest. See, so it could be the other particular, the upper-class time, that person that sowed needs to pay their rent. The righteousness that money fests as money, it could be that next month, that person needs favor in something, that righteousness manifests as favor. So a person can, can sow time, like, you know, son, I say, come on, we talk, I have some issues, and a person goes and commits time to a believer, you know, helping you believe out in different things, commits hours, that has them sow in time. So they have sown time, but in the spirit, it's not that person, like, the, the spirit world is not seeing time, they are seeing righteousness. So that righteousness now will be harvested and sends back as righteousness, as when it comes back into the earth, it finds real to manifest, it finds where it is lacking. Is that how you take pews, you take, you know, first of all, for different kinds of pain, right? You'll be head pain, some of the different kinds of pain, but like, see, see the past are more as righteousness, and while you take it, it has an intelligence to find where exactly, like, the, the, the, the drugs, when you take it, it goes to find where exactly it is needed. That's how righteousness works. That's how sown and ripping works. Yeah. So, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So in that case, it's, it's not righteousness. It's, it's, it's, it's sown. Are they a believer? No, not talking about belief. Yes. Yeah, but it's not righteousness. Yes. It's not righteousness. Yeah. But this is, this are just principles of the earth. So principle, it's why you find a lot of Jews are rich, because they are generous. Yeah, a lot of Jews are generous. Just don't, yeah. I know, I can't tell certain Jews, but, but, but yeah, a lot of Jews too, is to have that generosity mindset, because it's, it's in the law. Sorry? I know it's such a Jew. Yeah. Yeah. It's, I love Jews. I like that. Um, yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. You could still reap. Yeah, you could still reap, of course, but yeah, because one, one, one, when you are sewing, you are not just, you are sewing as a response to truth. See, so what is, what contrast, in sense, is the truth. Yeah. And in the other case, it's, it's different things. Is it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay. Jesus. Now more questions on this than actual topic. Uh, people, you know, there's not a person that does not know Jesus, that is, you try to do things, like even not lying. Yes. Mm-hmm. In this way, they are waiting for Jesus, I think. They're what? They're only waiting for me, Jesus, right? Are they, but they, they're still trying to grow. Grew in what? Well, we do get the values. The values. Yeah. Like in New York, Christianity. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes, Luis. Yeah. Where it's at, it, it, you have an inner. The conscience. Yeah. Yeah. Understanding the moral. Yeah. What would it do? Yeah. So, was it a point? Well, yes. I asked him if, if. I'm just trying to understand the conversation here. On that point of view. And is it starting to be about like when they leave the earth or? Maybe just trying to be more simple. The word. I mean, okay. On earth or? On earth. Okay. Okay. It was not a question. Okay. Okay. Are they working for some form of righteousness or if they are on earth effort? Yes, yes. And it's merciful there as well. Yes. Yes. God is merciful period to everyone, regardless of how they're efforts. Because God is merciful. Not that, not as a scripture. God cannot not be merciful. He is merciful. God is, regardless. But is it such people that they are still benefits even to them? Because the earth has principles already. If you do good, you get good. It's it's like they are principles at work already in the earth. Because the earth is spiritual and man is spiritual. No, it will not. Because there's righteousness in different things. There's righteousness of the believer. The believer saws righteousness on ribs righteousness. The man, the natural man, can sow good and bad. Rip good and bad. But the device saws righteousness. And these are different things. Because for the believer, what they are sowing is actually God. And what they reap is actually God. Yes. You see? That's it. Well, think. See? Okay, let me see. You know, when Philip asked, show us the father and to be enough for us in John 14. And Jesus said, "Hidah, send me a sin, the father." What do he mean by that? "Hidah, send me a sin, the father." See? And he was like, "Believe me." I said, like, if you don't believe me, actually believe me for the works sake. For the works sake. I mean, if you, Christ was saying that, "I have lived out the Father in the different things that I have done over these years. In my life, through my living, I have lived out the Father." See? So, in Christ's living, the Father was expressed. In Christ's living, God was expressed. Is it right? So, it means that God is expressed, right? And it's expressed in different ways. He's expressed through different means. So, one way he's expressed is through the manifestation of his righteousness. See? So, when you sow, what are we sowing? We are sowing because of the response to truth. What is the truth? It's got himself. It's got himself that has been converted to knowledge, to understanding, right? So, when you are giving, you are giving us worship in response to that. So, your giving is tied to the understanding that you have God, which is God himself, and you are sowing that. So, when the harvest is coming, you are getting back God himself, because the harvest of righteousness, the harvest of righteousness. See? And so, when that is coming back to you, that is actually the knowledge of God being expressed through different means. It could be expressed through finances, it could be expressed through favor, you know, expressed through, through, you know, some material gifts that you get. But that's how God being expressed. That is the sowing that I reckon of the believer. The sowing that I reckon of the believer, the believer sows and reaps God himself, God himself. It is God himself that manifests as these different things through the life of the believer. It is God himself. That's why it's called the harvest of righteousness. It's righteous. The harvest is righteous. See, it's righteous. Yeah. So, when these things come, it could come as different even even when it comes as financial breakthrough, that is God himself being even expressed through your life as finances. It's righteousness. Yeah? Okay. Well, my question is just because my mom is going to make sure that I'm following. So, you're saying that the believer's sowing and reaps God himself basically. And anything else, for example, if the believer is walking by the flesh, that is not showing everything to the believer. Are you saying that the only definition for the believer is sowing and reaping righteousness? No. That should be that is, on the basis of their identity. Yes. But the believer can also sow in the flesh. Yeah. Galicians, six, right. The believer can also sow in the flesh and reaping the flesh. But that is the believer living against their identity. Yeah. So, you're speaking from identity? Identity, yes. See, this is why Paul, for example, when he first went to the Corinthians, when he began the Corinthians, George, he didn't collect offerings from them. He didn't collect offerings. But he said that he robbed other churches to help them. That's what he said. He took them all their churches to help them. He didn't ask them for money. See, it was in first Corinthians that he said that I will send titers because I have head of your generosity. So Paul, head of generosity, that means the truth of God's world needs the people to now become generous. And they posted, all right, that you cannot harvest. Paul didn't start to join and start asking for money because giving is when based off truth. You have to give it a response. If you don't understand it, then, no, you know, it's, I know, well, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry if, you know, you've had it, yeah, you know, I've had it in life. I've had it, yeah, I grew. I'm a boy saying things. That's why I have experienced some things that I wish I didn't experience, basically, you know. I used to, I used to imagine like a lot back in Nigeria, you know, like I would dedicate like the whole street, you know, myself, and I'd be like, you know, I'll be home praying for them. And I go to the streets. I'll push the gospel. And then I'm not like some souls. I mean, if not to have group meetings, not talking about Christ. So every week we'll go every Thursday, believe I'll go to their homes, get them out, you know, sit, we will talk. Yeah. And these guys, like a lot of them living like lived in buildings are not complete, you know, flooded buildings. Yeah, buildings like them, you know, where like buildings that the builders have just left, as people just lived there. And this way I broke. They were broke. Like, in fact, they're bathroom. I'd have shed this one time, actually. No, I haven't been here. I've shed this for some, some people. They had a bathroom that was outside of the building. And when it floats, they have to walk through the floor to go to the bathroom and the bathroom is flooded. Bathroom is flooded, you know, and, and I would go there. So one time I went, this was so flooded. And they had, they had put this plank of wood as well to cross it from one place to another. And when I was crossing, it broke. And I fell into the, to the floor. My iPad screen broke, not this one, but this one. And if I know I've seen the iPad three years ago, when it was still broken, yeah, I got like, had this, it had this crack on the iPad, the screen broke. I changed it when I got here, a few years after. And, and yeah, so imagine a place like this. Like, when, when your rain falls, the building is so good for the people's people's, people's belongings be floating in water. Yeah, yeah, you know, and, you know, and I'll get these guys to talk with them, try the gospel. But sometimes you will give them money. You can't wait to help them, you know, and then, and then some one time, it, it lead the water. It was like, for us it's, I need to get off friends from these guys. I'm like, how, how, how, what, what do they know, that they are giving? We're like, what are they giving to? What did they know about, about, about giving, what, you know, I was, what's up. So what I began doing was that I would draw my money and say that, yeah, that's the only thing for the day. Yeah, because what did they know about, about giving, you know, as I would, that would, I need money themselves. I need money themselves. See, so, why do you have to give them? Why, why don't you have to be responsible for that in front of the girls? Because, because if you have a group that is off the church, which was mine, they are, there's certain expectations, which is, you take off them. Yeah. And, and, when the group is over, we send a picture of how much the offering is, and there's a lot of things, let's not go into that. But, yeah, it was a very, there we go. I'm glad you guys don't know the church. So, um, yeah. And, if I have a good thing, if, yeah, if I haven't heard your name, some matter because they changed your name after a few years. So, no, no, no, no, no, no. She's like, suspicious. Yeah. Yeah, it was a terrible time, terrible time. Well, I, I left the church shortly back into Bulgaria. I moved to another church, and that was, yeah, much more. Yeah. So, these are, these are things. Giving, you know, giving, giving is, isn't something that you just, shouldn't start the church and start asking for more. Like, if I know, you know, God calls you into ministry, don't start the church and start asking that offering. No, don't, don't. Let, let it, we'll learn, let them learn first. Like, let them know the truth of God. Like, let them understand the truth of God, that then makes them want to respond, you know, then make them want to respond. Don't force it out of them. Else, if you're making people sue in the flesh and even waste of money, I'm, these are people not going black. Oh, you promised that if we saw rip a thousand food, wait, my thousand food. I'm up to explain. I just crashed. The market is red. Wow. That's a sad question. How is Jazzy coin by the way? All performing the market, but the market is down after the war started, the other day, so that's five days in time. So, except, except that program, I'm not in favor of that. Yeah, but thing is, uh, so why do you say that? You see, what? You want to answer that? Or, uh, no, no, no, no, there's something, there's something I says, yeah. So, you see, something comes out of these, which is, no, I mean, something like, as a mindset, different mindsets come out of such kind of arrangement. One is, people become greedy. There is greed comes in the picture because, so, yeah, so it happened. You, you, you get to build a, a, a, a structure of, of me. Yes, exactly. They don't be able to discern when a thing is to come. You see, because harvest needs to be harvested even. You see, but they don't even know that. So, even if something is to come, they don't know what, they don't know about that. They're like, yeah. You see, this is, this is, this is, this is a very, because do you mean they wouldn't recognize that if something comes, then they wouldn't be able to, you know, whatever ends up coming to them, don't be able to have to manage that. If, if, if it does come, because some people can sow out of greed, and sowing out of greed goes no way. You're just giving your money. Yes. You see, and what them becomes harvest, because the enemy then rides on that, because it's greed. He rides on that. And what person are harvest? The person are harvest a greedy expectation. How do you harvest on greed? Oh, no. I, It's not true. Yeah, because you give, right? Yeah. Now you're expecting more. Ah, okay. Now we're, okay. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a greedy expectation. I give and I have to get back 10 times. Yes. Yes. And so now when that doesn't happen, then we raise on that, and then creates, creates malice for the church. Because believing on a promise that's happening, or is it, or is it also the difference between the promise on the greed, because I can live on both ways. Like I truly believe that's happened, because you agree or can be also the promise. Yes. Yes. Yes. Promise. But a lot of people don't understand it that way, because they've been told something, they've been told that, give and the Lord give back a thousand fold. And so now they've given expecting a thousand fold. They've given 100 level, expecting to get 100,000, 100,000, 10,000 level. See, I know they're waiting for it. And a month goes by and they're like, wait a minute, 10,000 level. People, like so I told this to me in my face, not because I, I didn't tell them to give, someone, they went to a church, a person said it, now they're like, Francis, this guy said this. Where's my money? Literally. Did they tell them you were being one month? Okay, so that's where we... Yes, yes, yeah. And that can slowly, that develops into, you know, a huge thing, you see. And people now begin to, you know, begin to happen and sign that, okay, you know, for God to do this, you're going to give. So people know how to imagine that, okay, I won't go to give me favor. I applied for a visa, so let me go help the poor. Let me go help the poor, that maybe don't move God's hands to, people do this. There is also a verse about if you give to the poor, you're giving us to me. Yes, yes. I, oh, the most of the time when I see a poor, it becomes after that, it just because I want to learn to give, so I don't have much, let's say, but I want to learn to give a different proposition of the heart. It's a different, it's a different one, yeah, you see. And so, people, people develop that, people develop these mindsets. And this, something that was a sin already also, like, someone applied for something, you know, and, and, and, you know, like, they try to force God's hands, so they try to do good things to force God's hands. It's not Islam. Yeah, well, not, please, please. Sorry. Straight legs. Yeah, like, it's, it's, isn't that a bit like witchcraft? That's, that's, yeah. Like, you're doing something through them, make something or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's also, Islam, like Islam, like witchcraft is, the major thing that happens there. What they don't know, I think. That's a much different thing. Anyway, yeah. So that's, that's, that's, that's that. I'm sorry for interrupting, just saying that I have to leave. Okay, all right. Can I, I'm not right to you on Instagram, because I have a question. Not on the Waggles Friday, but earlier what we thought. So, yeah. Okay, okay. All right. Okay. Bye, guys. She left already and I can see. Yes, yes. Yes. All right. So, four, twenty-four. I was thinking something similar to the other night, because I was, I went to a little concert and then someone invited me to a buddy or whatever and I was like, so I asked him, why am I telling people that I'm a Christian? Because I made this a bunch of I'm a people and I feel like I'm trying to help myself individually because people start calling me out if I say something or do something. Or you're a Christian, so you shouldn't be saying that. Yeah, I was just thinking about this passage the other night, say yourself up, you know, like let other people, yeah, I think, you know, put them to call you out and kind of assist you into yeah, and bring your true self in what you actual. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that helps, yes. All right. So, put on the new man, which is created according to God and true righteousness and holiness. True righteousness and holiness. Therefore, so, but not all these have been said now about the believer. Therefore, put on every line. Let each other of each of you speak truth with his neighbor. And this statement is from Zachariah. Zachariah 816. It says, let each of you, each one of you speak truth with his neighbor. For we are members of one another. Be angry and do not say. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath. No give place to the devil. Let him restore still no more. Rather, let me label working with his hands. What is good that he may have something to give him who has need. Let not corrupt what proceeds out of your mouth. But what is good for necessary edification? That it may impart grace to the heroes. See, all this is built on what he has said about the new man. Who is made according to God. And do not grip the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, glamour, evil speaking be put away from you with all manlies. And be kind to one another. Then they are hearted for giving one another even as God and Christ forgive you. So what I am saying earlier about one body, one spirit. We forgive one another because it is not about what the person has done. Because about what Christ has done, Christ forgives us. Regardless of the things we have done, regardless of our mistakes and errors, Christ forgives us. And so we have to forgive one another. Even as God and Christ forgive you. So we will go from the end to chapter 5. So last verse of chapter 4. And be kind to one another. Then they are hearted for giving one another even as God and Christ forgive you. Therefore be into this of God. So even as God and Christ forgive you therefore be into this of God. So we have to imitate God and forgive one another. So therefore be into this of God as dear children. And walk in love. Walk in love. As Christ also has loved us and given himself for us. So I am walking in love as Christ also has loved us. As Christ also has loved us and he has given himself for us. Given himself for us as Christ also has loved us. So we have to be imitators of God as beloved children. As beloved children of God. We have to walk in love exactly as Christ did. He loved us, he gave himself for us. He loved us, past tense. He loved us, he gave himself for us. As a context to this. As a context to this and we are going to look at one of them which is at the beginning of Ephesians. So Ephesians chapter 1 verse 3. So he says, "Blessed be the God and fad of our Lord those Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world. That we should be holy and without blame before him in love." Right? He chose us before the foundation of the world and that's where Christ loved us. See? That is where Christ loved us. See? Where or why? Where? That is where. See, that place that he chose us in we were experiencing divine love with him. See? We are experiencing divine love with him and then he gave himself. See? He gave himself, but the giving of himself is not first because of sin. You think? The giving of himself is not because of sin. And we have looked at these jacks in the past. The redemption plan, yes, wasn't first because of sin. Sin just happened to come to the picture. Yes. He is the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. So before the foundation of the world there was a separation between, there was a separation called between the father and the son. The slain was the separation between the father and the son and the son, the son, the son expressed the father to us. Even before the foundation of the world, the son was the image of God, the logos of God, that was in fellowship with us, that loved us, the son. And, okay, we're going to go from there. And so that was the first giving of himself, the slain, the separation of the son from the Godhead to become a distinct member of the Godhead separated from the father. So we know how the father and the son, right? And the father and the son had always been because of the relationship, one reason, because of the relationship between the father and the son that God wanted us, the church to, this doesn't make sense yet, this makes sense I was going into how Paul now lists out things. The father, see, that's why he's called the father and his son. See, the father and the son was a concept that already was before Manfield, that was the father and the son. And sooner, let's say good, let's add them on Eve, all right? Now add them on Eve, come in future. So, through the father and the son, man was to understand relationship. See, now, another thing is that it had to be the father and his son, because for God, for Paul, if Man is to be feared with the fullness of God, then it means that Man has to understand God at least, right? He has to understand God, if he's with the fullness of God, right? Does that make sense? Yeah, yes, now, in this context, 90th years, but going back before the fall, before the fall, see, okay, see, so Man was made to worship, for example, right? Made to worship, all right, worship who? God, but Man has to see worship to know worship, right? Man has to learn worship, so let's be a framework, hence the son. So, that relationship between the father and the son was also to help Man understand what true relationship is, what true worship is, but if Man is to understand what true worship is, God could not find anything better to express it to other than himself, because to understand, through holy pure worship, and if the believer is to be feared with the fullness of God, that means that God is expecting the believer to rise up to worship him on the same frequency, makes sense. So, it means that God has to bring about a person that matches his frequency, and so the only person that can match frequency, match God's frequency is God himself, hence the son. So, that's why the son is as much God as God the father, but the son assume that role of the son to show what the relationship is between the father and the child, because only God himself can do that to himself, only God can truly worship God as authentic as possible. So, God has to separate from himself, and in a sense, act as lesser, but do he's not less voicey, but there has to be a blueprint for Man to follow, so that happened. See, and so, so that is the first giving of himself, that is the slaying of the Lamb before the Fellowship of the World. See him doing that for the sake of us. So, so, when when it says, I know he gave himself for us, it's not just the dying on the cross, it began from before eternity began. So, now that's why when Man fell, you see, the son already, the son was committed to the responsibility, right, of of of showing Man true relationship, the son was committed to that responsibility, of showing Man true relationship. So, that's why when Adam and Eve fell, the son had to fall with them. This son had to fall with them, see, and the son fell with them in the preaching of the gospel to Adam and Eve. Before Adam and Eve left the garden, the gospel was preached to them. He got God told them, he told them, you see, he told them, he told them, he told them, he told Adam and he meant things, no one like, you know, from the sweat of your face, you eat bread, you know, you shall breath your head, you shall breath your heel. All the things that God told Adam and Eve were not punishments, they were not horses, they were actually hope, it was the gospel. God was telling them, God told Eve them that I will multiply the pains of the child bearing, that was the gospel. Because Eve had to, because, see, there was even child bearing was to be, before they fell. That was the way, that, that was the way child bearing was to be. Let's go with that way. But, but then Adam and Eve fell. So, go ahead and I see, this we multiplied, because children must still come forth, because for, for, for salvation to eventually arrive, children must, must, must come forth. So, so God told Eve, I will multiply the pain of child bearing. See, when Eve heard that Eve rejoiced, Eve rejoiced, because if, if, if understood, if, if understood the, the protocol of the common salvation, if understood, that, like the strict child bearing, if understood, Adam understood, the devil understood. That's like, when can I able came, sit and wait until I came, to slay Abel, devil understood. See, so I'm, so, that, that was the word that was preached to Adam and Eve, that traveled through, you know, traveled to, to Abel, Abel to set, and, and went all the way down, you know, to turn Israelites and all that, and in John, in John 1, we, John 1 years, in John 1, we see the word was made flesh, the word from the very beginning spoken. See, that word traveled, eventually getting, getting to Joseph and Mary, and then becoming flesh. So, all this journey also is the, is, is Christ giving himself. So, even before Christ became flesh, he's been giving himself, he has been giving himself. See, this makes sense. All right, let's go back to, let's not go back to chapter 4. Five, sorry. Yes, yes, that was a plan, yes. Before the form, yes, but not the way it is now. Yeah, chapter 5, right? So, therefore, be in letters of God as their children, and walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and giving himself for us, and offering and his sacrifice to God for his sweet-smelling aroma. See, I'm offering and his sacrifice to God. So, all that process is the offering and his sweet sacrifice, and now he's, he's a sweet-smelling aroma, which speaks of, which speaks of all that Christ has not accomplished. See, that all Christ has not accomplished from before time began, up until the cross, then, then, you are ascending. All that is not embedded in Christ as his sweet-smelling aroma. So, this is why he is, this is why John saw him entroned as a lamp-sling, because, because he, he maintained his posture as the sacrifice of God for his sweet-smelling aroma. And that sweet-smelling aroma diffuses into all of eternity. Mm. Okay. Just like clarifying, so, the sweet-smelling aroma is a concept of the journey Christ took, after separating from God, until returning to God. Yes, exactly. Yes. All the sacrifice and the accomplishments, right, is the sweet-smelling aroma. So, would that be, like, the first example? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We're going to keep many parts. It flows, and we're going to skip, go to a later verse. Let's do verse 20. So, it says, "giving thanks always for all things to God, for the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God." So, submission to one another is actually a fruit of the fear of God, right? And we've talked about fear of God before, right? Fear of God is no one that love of negative terror. You see, the fear of God speaks of the all-one wonder of God, the owner of God, the estimation of God. The, yeah. Yeah. We just put that way. You can, you know, look at that later if you want, but we've done, like, three sessions on the fear of God. Yeah. So, anyway, submit to the more underlying fear of God, right? And like we said earlier on, like we said earlier on, that Christ was the first person to submit to God, right? That's separation occurring. Yeah. That's separation occurring. And him, you know, him, him becoming the lamb, him, him bringing himself to a place of submission to the Father, right? Okay. So, submitting to one another in fear of God, that is this is a principle that has always been, even in terms of Adam and Eve. You see? So, this makes sense. Yes. Yes. Exactly. Yes. Sorry. All of himself, the owner of himself. Yes. My translation says reverence. Reverence of, yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. And see, and the, the, the, the, the reverence, right? The reverence, in the case of God and Christ, happens both ways. No. Always. Like that is, even at the beginning, when the image of God for se, when, when Christ separate them, see, because this is too good. You see, Christ did the logos, once the logos make sense, the logos make sense, right? The logos, the, the logos is God looking at himself. See? So, God looking at himself is in awe, right? Now, the person being looked at is also in awe of the one looking. So, there is the, there is the continuous exchange. Love. Love. Exactly. So, because the fear of love is also his love. You see? So, that all around one doubt is go goes both ways. So I'm probably saying submit to my own order. He's making honest on that. We already have a template. Yes, exactly. Yes. Yes. After his. Yes, after his. Yes. Yes. Yes. I was about to ask. Yes. This back and forth submitting in the field of God. Was that happening even while the son had any teeth himself? No. No. But what we have to understand is that where God is, there is no time. Exactly. It always has been. All right. We tried to turn this sometime as a few weeks ago. It's several in there. All right. Hmm. Yeah. So maybe something. Oh, look. God. God. God. God did. Yeah. God. God did his magnificence, his magnificence. All right. Yes, no hope for that. Like, well, when you go to bed and you dream and you dream, like you have no consciousness that there's another world where you're sleeping in. Think about that for a second. Think about how, think about such a spirituality that was, that was, that that, that, that, that, that, that's, that is kept before and still preserved itself in humanity. Think about such a spirituality where you go to bed, you are dreaming and in your dream, you don't have a memory that there is a world where you are actually asleep right now. Until, until, of course, now grow your heart to begin to do this things. But I would say most people, like, when they are dreaming, the dream is the world they know. And also, like, time seems to pass longer. Yeah. Exactly. I feel like I'm always aware that I'm dreaming. Yeah. As, as, as you grow, you get to meet no distance. Yeah, because, yeah, I'm dream, dream, dream. I'm good understand what exactly is happened. What exactly a dream is? Like, what was actually a dream? You know, you get to enjoy a dream because you know what's, you know, you know, yeah, but for a lot of people, dreams are, you know, like the dream and, and the dream is like, yeah, this is my life now. It's my life. And I've always been like this. You know, it's like, I've always been like this. There is a yesterday that is tomorrow in the dream. And then we come and like, Oh, okay, that was a dream. So just think, think about that. Someday, a person could just wake up from this life and have no idea that this ever happened. You see, and to that person, this doesn't exist. Yeah, you see, and, and this is one, this is one way that death would be defeated because death would be defeated when the list, what got to Christ sit until I make your enemies your foot to something like the list of the body and to the list of the body lose this, wake up from death. See, the power of death is in the consciousness. The power of this world is in the consciousness. See, the power of the enemy over the enemy is on consciousness. See, if all of creation right now wakes up, then it hasn't power anymore. The enemy doesn't leave anymore. See, see, yeah. Well, God doesn't lose anything. Yes. When he created Lucifer, the way he created him, they themselves. And he was a fan of those lives, like you're saying, when we're not aware of that life, it's like he wouldn't be there. What does that mean that God wants something? Not because he was his creation in the first place. When it comes to, no, you're taking me somewhere else. I don't mean to. Yeah, I know I don't mean to, but you're taking me somewhere, so I'm not going to that, I'm not going to that. Because then we're going to go into the making of angels, the making of angels. And how we see, because what was sent out of the kingdom of God was a transformed person. Yes. Okay. That transformed person. God didn't make that. Okay, okay. All right. That transformed person, Lucifer transforming into something. That transformed God did not make. That is not of God. That is why God didn't have to send him out. The kingdom ejected him because that person is not of God. That person doesn't exist in the world of God. So that person in their soul, and a soul, a soul is the, a soul is the, how did I put it before? It's the record, the database of a person's experience. Now, the experience is not being made by God, it's being made by the being. So it is now the person, the experience, the person, that soul, right, is one of our way of a transformation. But that soul is not inherently created by God, experienced by God. It is being experiencing it for himself. So when, when Lucifer is now being transformed, and, and, and because he's now being transformed, you got, so the, the, the, the, the parts of a person, past 24, the, the essence of every spiritual being, all right, is tied to the spirit. Okay. The spiritual world, all right, where, where their location is in the spiritual world, right? Every being in the spirit is made up from their own world. So their essence is of their world. So when sin has come about, the essence begins to change. And if, if the essence begins to change, then they are, they are lost out of the world. Because what they are becoming is not of that world. So God is not losing anything. Because the person that zoned out, see, zoned out with a different essence. It doesn't the world come with them? No, no, no the world doesn't. See, there is the world, and there is the being made from the world. This makes sense. We talked about this before, right? The, the body of, of angels, all right. So now, iniquity was found in Lucifer, right? Sin was found in Lucifer, in his soul. His soul is the record of his experiences. Sin was found there. And he now see what has happened. Like him, him, him, him looking at that consciousness. Changed him. Like, it, it changed the person. So in a sense, you can see that. Set time is not what God created. Yes? He created him. He created him for a reason. He created whom? He created Lucifer. Yes. Yes. Yes. Uh-huh. So the reason that God created Satan for, to a degree, Satan still occupied that. Yeah, but wrong way. Exactly. So, so God, so what, what is God losing here? The initial vessel that he created. Yes. But, but that vessel is not who we are seeing here. Because that's the issue. Because it should be that vessel. That's what he's saying. Like it should be that vessel. This shouldn't have happened. So he's here. No, no, no. You are, you are, you are seeing angels, like, um, it's seven, it's seven p.m. Yeah. Let's, let's, let's, let's put a hold on this. First of all, yes. They are not, yeah. So, we don't know the angels, like, okay, one, two, three, four, okay, this one fell. Now there's this room, room for it. Yeah, no. But, and you understand that there were a host of angels on Lucifer that fell with him, right? Yeah. Okay, good. So, what I'm talking about here now is not just that he passing God missing. Millions. All right. It says millions. All right. So think about it. So, is it that there is space somewhere that shows that, okay, they used to be here. Now there's a vacuum. What I'm mentioning is this, but I know that. [Laughter] It's supposed to be like a man. It's meant to be like a gantar. But in my head, it's just like a pyramid of different beings and then there's a gap. No, no, it's not because there is no, see, there's a structure that was put in place for the creation of angels. There's a structure, there's a structure, porpoisees, porpoisees, birth, in a sense, angels. Different porpoisees, birth, angels. All right. So... [Laughter] Okay. Let's... [Laughter] Okay. A bit. Okay. Let's stop there. Let's stop there because I'm going to go into a different world entirely. Let's stop there. Yeah. [Laughter] All right. All right. So, this is what we see. Submitting to one another. All right. Good, the father, and the son. These two are in constant... in constant, all I wonder of each other. Yeah, because I wonder of each other. All right. Yeah. See, imagine, like, in Mira, for example, Father is looking exuding, you know, all I wanted to, what is, what is, to his image. Now that reflects him back at him. That is that going on. Relationship. Relationship. Yes. That is that relationship. All right. All right. So, verse 22, noun says, "Wives submits your own husbands as to the Lord, for the husband is head of the wife, and as also Christ is head of the church, and he is the Savior of the body." All right. As Christ is the head of the church, and he is the Savior of the body. So, so the wife is now submitting the husbands in this case. It's because that is the standard that already exists. And you see, and the standard that exists, Christ's summation to God is not because Christ is lesser. It's for the sake of the expression of a principle. All right. So, so in the church, wives are submitting to husbands, it's not because the wife is lesser. It is for the sake of the flowing of that principle from God and Christ to the church, and from the church or church in the earth. It's for, it's for the, it's for that principle to be expressed in the earth. And so, so Christ Paul is, is, is giving us different spheres by which we can enforce the structure. Because when believers enforce the structure in different places, the, the, it, it, it, it, it, it brings us to enforce that in the earth. See? So, whatever, whatever wrong we see in the world is because of the church. Whatever the unity in the world because of the church. When you see families, you know, families, you know, cause men and wives fighting, things like this going on and should, should they be coming wayward in the world? It's because of the church. See, because if the church, if the church establishes, you know, even if the church acts, acts as if, as they, as what someone used recently. Or the plug word you used, the plug socket and plug. That word? Or the word you, you mentioned something, was it? About if, um, area on? Compatible. Yes, the pattern, right? Where there are two things and they have to, um, they have to be compatible, right? Have to be compatible, right? They have to be a judge and they have to be compatible. So, you see, there's Christ, there's Christ and the Father. Now, for that community earth, it has to find a compatible, see? So, the, the church is to, is to have that compatibility. And so, now it's, it's not to diffuse into the homes. So, so Christ is expecting that, that authority flows from Christ and the Father, to the home and find a compatible means by which it connects and flows into the world. So, this is why, why does something to the home? No, because the wife is lesser. The wife is not lesser. Or because the, the, the needs to be a similar pattern by which that original flow can pass through. So, so, say that Christ is head of the church, right? And he is the savior of the body, right? So, Christ is the head of the church. So, what we see, what we see first is there is the Father and then there is Christ. God is the head of our Christ. With that inscription a lot of times, right? Uh, well, it says, um, I think, I think, I think Paul, Paul talks about this. This way he says, oh, actually, yes, first going chance two, uh, two or three. One actually, I think first going chance one. Um, it's not, it's not giving one. It's giving, it should be one. It's, it's, it's my, it should be one. I'm not finding it yet. Uh, huh. Um, hmm. Um, hmm. Three. Three. Uh, all right. Now, find your verse. Three verse 21 to 23. So, Harry, please. First going down to three, twenty-one, twenty-three. Therefore, if no one bolds a man, for all things are yours, whether Paul or all of those efforts or the world, the world or life or that, for things present or things to come. All of yours. And your Christ and Christ is yours. You see? So, all things is the churches. All things. So, God wants to be Lord over all. And how he chooses that is to face the Lord over Christ. And then Christ will Lord over the church. And then the church is Lord over all things. You see, all things belong to the church. Um, let's do, somewhere else is first going down to fifteen. Um, I just found the verse. Yeah. First going down to fifteen, twenty-eight. This is Teja place. Good for me. Good for you. Can I just read what we can do, please? No, when all things are subject to him, then the son himself will also be subject to him, before all things under him are gone, maybe all the more. Make sense? See? To what? To what? No, Christ. He is. He is. But what it's been spoken about here is Christ not home into God with all things. Christ is subject to God. What does that mean because there is no time? Yes, so that is now to an out-consciousness. Out-consciousness. What would it look like? What would it look like? Christ coming to God with all things. So it looks like the world being transformed and subject to Christ. Yes, that's what it looks like. That's what it looks like. But Paul is talking about it here in a linear sense. Yeah, for us to understand the process. Christ not time was like, "Okay, in two minutes now, Christ is going to come out to the living world." Paul is bringing down to time and just giving up his process. So, as Smurrin was saying, for the consciousness of God, that has no sense. Yes, yes. It could really say that the consciousness of God, the Father, but my question is, is Christ the aware of our consciousness? Yes. Of our consciousness, yes. So he is aware of time. So for the Son, he sees this verse. Yes. But the Father doesn't until we all come. So, it's not that the Father doesn't, but it's like we don't, and the Father is aware that there is no response from us. But the Father is aware because there is a lack of response to this, by us. Like, what response to all things could under him? That's what I understand. Yes, yes. Yeah, because he is expecting a fellowship, a spiritual body. See, what the recipient is not a recipient. (Laughter) Yes. So, because I've seen him before, you see. So, yes, that is why this is how it has to be done. Everything needs to be subject to the Son, and the Son brings to the Father. So the Father now is now gets the response. Okay. But he's not necessarily aware of our journey and time. He is aware, but at the same time, he is in a perfect state of awareness. So, in a sense, where God is, everything is done. From his standpoint, everything is done. But he is aware of a lack of participation from another end. It's like, for example, he says that him and the Son are standing with all three children. He is standing there, he is being standing there in all working on the same range, and even by that lack of response, he is aware of what's going on. Yeah. Yeah. He is interested in what I thought. Well, intricately with defense, I don't know if that would be the right word to use. Because I understand the awareness of the lack of something. But if there's lacking something, you can't really see what's in the lack. So... Unless you have an expectation of what you want to see. If you're expecting to be there, so... If you know what you're lacking, no matter what you're lacking. If you're standing there with an expectation, you're just not seeing what you're expecting to see. But you're not seeing the response of... Yes. Oh, that. I think the result might be the thing. Yes, but you're not seeing what's behind it. Is that amazing? Yeah. The real detail of what's behind the lack. Well, if you just... Could come from the glow that it means, shoot it towards. You know, it's not only to spare at all. It's rejuvenating. So the more you grow there, the more you're shining. So it's not a looper, just like a model, what kind of... Yeah. See, because the world of God, from God's position, see, goes out, right? And it returns. It goes and it returns. So if it goes, it's expecting a return. And he's conscious of his what's going on returning. But now it is not that God is waiting for a world to return. But it's that from God's position, things happen faster than light. But that world, where it went to, where the world went to, is a place of time. Where the world went, where the world went to, is a place of time. So now the world itself could have returned. But the people in that time are yet to not catch up. So what's that? It could be. Where is the text? Where is the message? So the world is returned? From God's perspective, yes. But we are becoming aware of that. Yes, because when Christ dropped into the world of time, we are here to be 33 years. See, and it returned. But, so this is one reason why we say that Christ is aware of our weaknesses. You see, we are going to go into Christ as an predecessor. We have to go into more, like, people can use them in that moment. That whole world is empty. Okay, yes, indeed. That's why God knows most. He can relate to us. God, yes. What I think is that we, on this side, are enebutsu perfectly as God expects. Yeah, all right. Let's... [SOUND] [LAUGHTER] Can you give me some respect to you saying something that's why families are failing today? Yeah, yeah, no, I did, like, the church. [INAUDIBLE] So the husband is subject to Christ. The husband is... Yes, and of course, they are both subject to Christ, but from the standpoint of the pattern. Yeah, all right. The wife is submitted to the husband. The husband is to love the wife as Christ loved the church. So the wife is submitted as the church submitted to Christ. The husband is to love as Christ loved the church. So when this structure fails in a society, even the non-believers are affected. Yes, so when we're able to say it's where families are failing, where families are failing, left, right, center, the reason is the church. It's the church. And why is the church in that church? [LAUGHTER] No. You said that one? No, no, no. No, no, that I did not say that as well. No, no, no. Again, not only have it on wives, because it goes on to say, you know, employers, employees, thousand slips, employers, employers, same pattern, same pattern. See, if an employer is a believer, then it's where he should treat employees. If an employee is a believer, that's the way he should treat his employer. Same pattern. So if you go to a place and you see that things are not working, you can look at the believers. Like, gather them and ask them, how is your marriage? How is your job? How is your friendship? How is your relationship? Like, you see the lack of submission. That is not split into society. Yeah. So this is... Hello. Hi, Father. There's so much here. Hmm. All right. I don't know. All right. Let's do verse 28. Epigen5. Epigen5. Yeah. Epigen5. Epigen5. Epigen5. Epigen5. Epigen5. All right. Husbands love your wives. Just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her. That's... What? Let's try to speak a word. Stop being honest. I like that word. So you see, earlier on as we read in the first chapters, chapter 1, 2, 3, where he says, you know, walk in love. As Christ loved us and gave himself, you see, as a pattern. And so now here Paul is now bringing it down to families. So husbands love your wives for the same reason. Christ loved us and gave himself the same reason. See, so there is the pattern that is now to express itself in defense face of our lives. Now, that pattern was to express itself regardless of where man goes to. So, do you understand how to love your wife? Do you understand how Jesus loved the church? Yes. How just loved the church even from eternal past? Yeah. So 25 husbands love your wives. Just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her. That he might sanctify and cleanse her with washing of water by the water. That he might present her to himself, a glorious church. Not having sport or ankle or any such thing. But that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands also love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh. But now she doesn't judge us just as the Lord does the church. So the church is the Lord's flesh. The church is the Lord's flesh. The church is the Lord's body. 30. 4. We are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and it shall become one flesh. So when Moses wrote that scripture in Genesis, it wasn't about Adam and Eve. It was a principle that was faced about Christ and the church. You see, for for this reason Christ left the father. See, for this reason Christ left the father and was joined to the church. And they became one flesh. So Adam, Eve came into the picture to be a compatibility to that scripture. To Christ submitting to the father to Christ. So it's not that way around. It's not that way around. It's not that way around. You see, because Christ separated from God for the Catholic Church. So Eve was created so that they both match that principle. They both submit to one another. They both live in as an expression of that principle. So Adam and Eve fell, but that principle must still continue. So now we have marriage, you know. And now, so marriage exists for that reason. Primarily for that reason. Primarily, primarily. You see, when we see the enemy, when we see the enemy trying to twat and to, and to skew and to a new wayward. Distort perverts. Yes, distort and perfect. See, marriage, he knows what he's doing. See, when he introduces certain sexual orientations, the enemy knows what he's doing. It's not, he's not bored. I tried to see what works. There's something, he's aware of something. He's aware of something. You see, because marriage, marriage, marriage, a righteous marriage, right, is one where the flow of God, right, flows from that into the Church, into society through homes. The homes of believers act as conduit pipes. That makes sense, for that to flow. So the enemy looks at that entire system and he's like, "Okay, I can't change anything up there with Christ. I can't do anything up there. Okay, no, no. Here I can. Here I can. Here I can distort it." So let's introduce sexual orientations. That would distort this. You see, because initially, it began by, initially, it began by bringing this honor through certain cultures, where people fight for, people fight for, people fight for inequality in the name of equality. You see, because in the Church, the hoping and wives are equal in the first place. They are just as God, the Father and the Son are equal, but one chooses to submit for God's of the life that is to flow. So, the hoping and wife are to submit to each other, something in each other in the sense of their own responsibility. The husband is to love his wife as Christ loves each other. That means that the hoping is not allowed to have his own separate feelings for the wife. He is to love as Christ loves the Church. So, the husband has to forgo his own, has to forgo his own feelings for the day. He can't be like, "Oh, I don't feel like..." No, he has to sacrifice his own. Yes, exactly. Because how Christ loves this Church is, is eternally constant. So, the whole husband is to achieve that. So, just as the Holy Spirit, you know, just as Christ is about the Holy Spirit, you know, he won't speak of himself. But when he hears me speak, that he will speak, or how Christ will say, "What do I do?" "What's the Father doing?" The husband is to be that also. I love as I see Christ love me. I don't love from myself. See? So, this is how they are both submitting each other. But it's just that with the wives, it's just that they just submit. So, people think that only one part is submitting. But Paul already said before, submit to one another. But now, how the submitting looks is different. So, the enemy now solves these lies and now make people rise up and fight for a sense of equality when they don't even understand the equality that is in the Scriptures. So, this now brings about a disunity in families. And that does enemies no first step, changing that order, breaking that structure. But when started like that are broken, they can't be repaired. Because through Christ's Church, people now began to rise and preach about marriage. Preach the online marriages and things like that. See, people now began to repent. Like, you've got to church history. Like, people now began to see... Around these times, we are going to see couples in ministry. Couples in ministry. When... the early Western church, like in America, half people like, you know, half people like Charles Finney, you know, John G. Lake time, you know. You know, these guys, what we find a lot of time is, is that the husband or the wife is in ministry. That the husband or the wife is in ministry. Years later, we have to see husband and wives to get that in ministry. One reason for that is for the lotus to show godly marriages. So the lot put people on spotlights. And not that people, husband and wife, it's not, it's just them how, like, the ministry is both of them leading it. You will see books by husband and wives. To show... to show Christian authentic marriages. Of course, not that they are perfect. Of course, but it's to be to redeem things. Yes. And it's not going to be a different one. Like, okay. If the lot is trying to redeem marriages then, let's make it such a way that they can't be irritable. So sexual orientation has come into the picture. See, because when you have two men or two women getting married, it's the same sex marriage. See, there is no repentance that can still keep them in the marriage. And that, that in the speech is not even in marriage. The action is not married. Because marriage was instead of God himself. He is the author. He defies marriage. So, so it is, it is, it's not on the earth that society is binding. But not in the spirit. But as long as people don't know that, they keep on walking in darkness. See, and so now around the world you have, we have chaos because of that. See, and the moment the church fell, the moment the global church began to fall into authentic, 18, same sex marriage, that placed a legality of the enemy on the earth, a legality. Because you see, Jesus said, "Whatever you lose in the earth is lose in heaven." See, that's why, before, before, before, before church had gone to, to, to authorize the technologies, there was pressure on churches. No, that's not normal. It's not normal. See, I wish we would rather go to our death to preserve the authenticity of marriage. I wish we would rather, see, because that pressure was not from man. Wasn't from man. Oh, I don't know about, I don't know about, you know, when, when you know, as a citizen in the news, this church was about a cake, a cake place, you know. See, yeah, a cake place to represent, to make an order for a cake, for a sex marriage wedding. It was a Christian cake place. Yeah, she was a Christian. A cake. Yeah, a big cake. A wedding cake. A wedding cake. What happened? Oh, they tried to sue her. Shouldn't have shot up, yes. See, it rather is shot down. Rather it's shot down. Rather it's shot down. Yes, no, because, yeah. I don't hear the power. Why do you need to be married if you don't actually believe in marriage? Yes, exactly. That is the thing. I just like, why, why? This is what the church believes. Why I try to not bring that into the church? The enemy tries to, because, just go get married by law. No, no, no. Don't sit in the church. Why? The church doesn't agree with this, and why it tries to force your thing. Like, they don't do this for other religions. See, that's not the enemy news. Yes. Yeah. Anyway, so, we see this, you know, the Lord, you know, expresses this through marriages, through, you know, children, parents, you know, employee, employee, even if friendships, you know, all-know submission is very important. And we have this, and we have our sample who is Christ, right? His relationship with God, the Father. See, and he expresses that through us. And this is, this is the, this is the, this is the, this is the, it's from this framework that we understand Jesus Christ as our intercessor. See, because Christ is our intercessor, not, not in the sense that, you know, that he prays for us and all that, because the Bible, if we go to the Book of Hebrew. Okay. [Silence] Chapter seven. [Silence] Okay. That's from verse 20. No. [Silence] Okay, 11. What? Seven by eleven. Yes. [Silence] You have the part in your Bible. You have the part in your Bible. [Laughter] She forgot Hebrews at home. [Laughter] Oh. [Laughter] All right. [Inaudible] Yeah. [Inaudible] Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, for undied, people received the law. What the, what for that need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek. And not be called according to the order of error. For the priesthood being changed. [Inaudible] Same Bible. [Laughter] All right. [Laughter] Why the priesthood being changed of necessity, there is also a change of the law. For he of whom these things are spoken belongs to underdrive, from which no man has officiated at the order. All right. So, verse 12 is very important for us. Hmm. Second. Come on. Okay. Let me use. All right. So, verse 12, for the priesthood being changed. All right. 11. That's a bit of 11. Go to 12. Therefore, and this is because there are, there are, I'm talking about Melchizedek. All right. Melchizedek was before the priesthood of Aaron. All right. The, the, the, the priesthood of Melchizedek existed before the, the priesthood of Aaron. All right. We're going to look in that. Well, that would be a good conversation to have in future. The priesthood of Melchizedek. Hmm. See, because the, the, the priesthood of Melchizedek is not a new priesthood that came after the law. It's one that has always been. And even in, in time, it manifested even before the law. The, the, the, the priesthood of Melchizedek, that crisis in order of is one that manifested in time, even before the order of Aaron. Makes sense, right? All right. So, 11. Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, for undiited, the people received the law. So, the law actually came through the priesthood. All right. Now, let's go to verse 12. First of all, for the priesthood being changed of necessity, there is also a change of the law. See? So, if the priesthood was changed, that means the law also has to be changed. Right? Now, let's go to some weeks ago. See, the, the, the law in the Old Testament does not apply to believers. Because that law was given from a priesthood. So, if that priesthood is changed, the law needs to be changed too. Because the law was given, the, the, the, the factors affecting the law. So, some of which we have looked at the weeks before. And one of the parts of the place that the law was given as, as, as to, to, to, to give people hope for what is to come. The hope of salvation, what was to come. But in Christ, the law we have is that, that the salvation has come. So, the things of the law do not apply towards anymore. In the very least, not directly. Not directly. Okay. So, let's go on. Habits in mind. Alright? 13, "For he of whom these things are spoken belongs to under tribe, from which no man has officially led to all of that." So, the person that was speaking about now Christ came from a different tribe. Because the, the, the previous priesthood, they all came from tribe of Levi. Well, Jesus came from tribe of Judah. Alright? Alright, it's gone. For it is evident that our laws arose from Judah. Of which tribe Moses spoke not in concerning priesthood. And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Mykith, mykith, mykith. The eraser and our priests, who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment. Right? The law of a fleshly commandment. But according to the power of an endless life, for it is face, you are a priest forever, according to the order of mykith, mykith, mykith. For on the one hand, there is an allen of, of the form of commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness. For the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand, there is a bringing in of a better hope. Through which we draw near to God. Right? Through which we draw near to God. And inasmuch as he was not made priests with an old, for they have been priests with an old, but he with an old by him who said to him, the Lord has won and will not be lent. You are a priest forever, according to the order of mykith, mykith, mykith. By so much more, Jesus has become a charity of a better covenant. Also, there are many priests because they were prevented by death from continuing. But he, because he continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore, he is also able to save to the ottamas, those who come to go through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. Right? Twenty-six. For such a high priest was fitting for us, who is holy, humblest, only found separate from sinners and has become higher than the heavens, who does not need daily as those high priests to offer up sacrifices first for his own sins, and then for the peoples. For this, he did once for all when he offered up himself. This is how the high priest intercedes for the people in the old testament. The high priest intercedes by going into the holy of holies, by going to tabanaku. Right? All three sacrifices first for himself and for the people. See? First for himself and for the people. So he goes on behalf of them. That's intercession, going on behalf of someone else. So he goes on behalf of them and offers sacrifices, you know, like appeals for mercy on behalf of the people. And that's how he intercedes. So the high priest was an intercessor in that light. So now Christ is our intercessor in this same light in verse 25. 25 says therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to go through him. Since he always leaves to make intercession for them. So he always leaves to make intercession for who? For those who come to go through him. And he is able to save them to the uttermost. So Christ's intercession for us is in the context of saving. Not praying for us. Saving. Saving. Saving. See? Because Christ, that's what he says there, 27. He doesn't need daily as those high priest to offer up sacrifices first for his own sins. And then for his own sins and then for peoples. For this he did once for all when he offered up himself. So when people come to Christ, Christ is in a constant state as an intercessor. Because he has offered up sacrifice that speaks forever. You see, rather saying that Christ doesn't need to do this again and again and again. Because he has done this, he says Christ doesn't need to do this daily as those other high priest, verse 27. And now he says unlike those other high priest he does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins first and therefore the sins of people. Jesus did this once for all when he offered himself as a sacrifice for the peoples sins. He did this once for all. So this is how Jesus remains an intercessor. Because his sacrifice still speaks for all. For all. See? So Christ as an intercessor, Christ interceding for us is not that he's praying for us. But that his sacrifice continues to speak. His blood continues to speak. On behalf of us, his sacrifice continues to speak. And when the high priest is done from inside the tabernacle or temple, he comes out to meet the people. See, he comes out to meet the people. And there are times where the high priest not proclaim blessings over the people. See, he'll proclaim the word of blood over the people. See? And so likewise Christ as our intercessor. Because as he is in there, as he is in there, his sacrifice continues to speak on our behalf. His sacrifice continues to speak salvation, speak redemption. And so the believer is to speak what the sacrifice is speaking, what the blood is speaking. See? Because when the high priest speaks, he's speaking based on the law. But now we'll change our priesthood as a change of the law. So the high priest is to, the high priest now, in our case Christ as an eternal high priest, there are things that he speaks over us. See? There are things that he speaks over us. And these speaking have actually been from before the world began. See? Because when Christ separated himself to be the son to the father, he was speaking from them. He was speaking from them. So Paul says that we should be imitators of God as dear children. See? Imitators of God as dear children. So we are actually looking at what Christ is saying of us. And what Christ is saying of us is also a reflection of his relationship with the father. See, of his relationship with the father. See? So this is, see, if we say things differently than what Christ is saying over us, we replace him as our high priest for something else. See? Because the high priest comes with a priest who has its own law. And if we maintain the vertical priesthood, then we are calling someone else a high priest. [silence] [silence] Yeah? Yeah? Okay. All right. So this is the... [silence] See? Right now it was seen earlier before what we were writing. It was talking about how... It was talking about how the mercasitic priesthood is before that of the law. Before that of Iran. Before the vertical priesthood. And in fact that priesthood of the one of the mercasitic is eternal. It's eternal. See? [silence] So there was already a law. There was already a law between... A law that was expressed between God the Father and the Son. Even before the world was recreated. Even before the... Even before the 10th madras came to the picture. There was already a law between God the Father and His Son. There was already a law. That a relationship. That relationship is the law. Because that, when it now breaks down into this world. When I hear things like submit to one another. Don't steal anymore. Love this, do this. Love, love, love each other. That is the law. But that is the life of God the Father and the Son. That's what it's sharing with each other. Where is the currency thing now? Like in my understanding it's right. What is it? Because law like, when you say law is kind of hard. Is it a dynamic? What do you mean dynamic? Like, can you use another word other than law? Life. The life. I'm using law because that is the context of the priesthood. See, because it is a lot of life. It is the culture. The culture, right? The culture. So the culture that we have to leave is one that was before the Levitical priesthood. See, so a lot of times you see Paul quoting the Old Testament. And you see him change the world. You see him change the world. You see him remove some practically intentionally. Because the law was a shadow of things to come. And it takes discernment to see what is right and what is wrong here. So what's he correcting? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, because what Paul was saying, because Paul was saying I see there is a law that is superior to this. And it is because of before that we have this fall in law. And now we are bringing about the original law that has already been from the beginning. Yeah. Just stop for a little bit. Yeah, yeah, and love. Love, like love as it actually is. See, love as it actually is. Make sense? Mm-hmm. So, going back to first Corinthians. Chapter two. That she has in her book. That's what it is. Chapter four. Oh, sorry, yes, chapter four. Chapter four, sorry. Efficient. Efficient four. Yeah, efficient four. Yeah, efficient four. Yeah, efficient four. Efficient four, yes. So, now, efficient four. One, oh, we need verse one or four. So, verse one or five verse one. So, for verse one, I therefore the prisoner of the Lord besitu to walk towards the of the calling with which you were called, with all loneliness and gentleness, with long suffering, bearing one another in love, and therefore to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. That is the law. That is the law. Right? That is the law. So, now, we go five verse one. So, therefore, we imitate us of God as dear children and walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for his sweet smelling aroma. See? Walking love, that is the law. Walking love. Because Christ walks in love before the, before the father, the father walks in love before Christ. See? And that structure, that structure, that is the priesthood in expressed. See, that should be expressed in the church and through families, through, through, through friendships, through, through groups, through, through football, you know, sessions, like all part of our lives. That is the priesthood that should be expressed. This is why we are called priests and kings, kings and priests. We are priests. We are priests. We are priests, you see? And, and so in, in through this, we, we are living out what the, what Christ lives, what the father, what the father lives on with Christ. We are living it out. See? We are not, we are not to follow the, the, the, the, the Levitical law. We are to look at it and see, see and, and look, look, look at the law through Christ and see what is, what is off about things. You see? We have to live with that. And we have to speak. We have to speak correctly. We have to speak correctly. Very important. Yeah. You can ask God to bless you. It's not, it's not, it's not scriptural. It's not, it's not scriptural because, because there is, there is, there is. And this I'm saying something is, I'm not just saying it because I'm to repeat myself. You see, it's, the Lord has blessed us. But I said every time, I said every time. The, the, the Lord has blessed us. The, the, the Lord has, the Lord has. See, we have to understand through the scriptures what the Lord has done for us. Because this is what the Lord, this is what sacrifice speaks. That's why it says sacrifice because it has done something. And that sacrifice speaks. It speaks. So we have to speak as the Lord speaks. And the Lord, the sacrifice speaks that, that, that he has blessed us and that he's favored with us. And, and that he has, he has cost his life to shine upon us. And, and this is why we speak in return. That you have blessed us. You have blessed us. You have blessed us. You have cost your life to shine upon us. And, and, and we live as that. Yes. And, and you know what this does. Well, time is up. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Let's live that game. That's, that's what we're going to do. Yes. Okay. What? The food has been kind to be where you are happening. Oh, come. You started later. And also where you didn't see the time. So it will finish later. Yeah. It starts long for now, I think. So do you appreciate it? It's 13. Mm-hmm. All right, thank you. Future work is not being submitting to it. She's not playing for me, so she doesn't play for me. It is okay. It's okay. It's okay. Come on. Come on. Come on. It's going to be a coconut size. So we will all go around the coconut. Yes. I saw many things that were at the border instead of coconut. What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? What about this? Why do you get up from it? Mm-hmm. That's a question for the different session. Is everyone speaking? Yeah. Mm-hmm. How's everyone doing? Mm-hmm. [BLANK_AUDIO]

A Bible study session held on 06/10/2024.
