Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of Nephilim Death Squad.
00:01:27.620
But after a nice long holiday break, I hope you guys had a wonderful holiday.
00:01:42.820

Early access to episodes, ad-free viewing experiences,
00:02:07.480
discount codes off of merchandise and toplobster.com,
00:02:12.720
which we've made absolutely zero effort to try to organize,
00:02:16.340
but I think we have to start doing that this week.
00:02:17.920
I'm pretty sure it'll be easy enough to secure a venue out here in the villages.
00:02:32.000
and like I said, there's a discount code off of merchandise.
00:02:37.540
For a long-time caller, 30-second time appearance.
00:02:46.360
which I think is a great way to come back from the holidays, actually.
00:03:02.680
Now I'm going to have to start going crazy like all the other famous people
00:03:14.760
It doesn't matter if you don't have to lose weight.
00:03:17.440
The Stranger Things show tying in some adrenochrome usage.
00:03:31.920
I've been watching Righteous Gemstones, which is-
00:03:34.720
It's a hard show to watch when you go to the 501c3 system.
00:03:38.740
So you can find me at faithbyreason.net is the main site.
00:03:44.460
There is where I've been doing everything I've been doing for, wow, over 10 years.
00:03:51.660
Wait, do you mean to tell me that you do more than just like little season debunking?
00:03:57.380
No, all I do is just go around smacking down little season people.
00:04:02.260
And this is just what I do on the side to make people think that I have more than one hobby.
00:04:11.960
Little season is in my rearview mirror, but people keep bringing it up.
00:04:15.260
Anyway, no, I actually like to help Christians understand their faith and enhance their walk with our God.
00:04:27.000
And also destroying bad doctrine, which deceives people.
00:04:31.680
That annoys me, which is why I smack down things like the little season,
00:04:34.320
because it's deceptive and it's really messing with people's relationship with Jehovah.
00:04:39.540
And also, as you see here, we have my Patreon, which is-
00:04:47.700
You join Patreon, you get new material as soon as it drops.
00:04:50.400
It goes there first, even before it goes on to my regular site.
00:04:53.460
You also get to be a part of the Q&As and you get discounts for free books.
00:04:58.880
You can also be a part of my monthly Bible study,
00:05:02.460
where we go through the entire Bible in one year from the supernatural point of view.
00:05:06.660
And actually, we are wrapping it up this first year of it.
00:05:14.380
So we're wrapping it up with the book of Revelation, finding out how the story ends.
00:05:18.560
We call it the Jehovah story Bible study because the Bible is God's story.
00:05:35.000
It is a story of a person who wants you to know them, understand who they are,
00:05:40.700
how they feel, what their will is, what their goals are, and how they feel about you.
00:05:46.480
And that's how we go through the Bible from that standpoint.
00:05:49.060
Let me just give you, I feel like we give him a lot of praise.
00:05:53.940
But that Patreon page, I remember like first scrolling and it's like,
00:06:01.180
I'm like, wow, this is like, and it looks great too.
00:06:06.880
And I was actually just talking with my wife about this, where my wife,
00:06:16.060
We should be using whatever resources we can, you know, get in your Bible,
00:06:19.720
understand scripture, have an intimate relationship with God.
00:06:22.400
Because if we're correct about the scale of the deception that's coming,
00:06:27.320
and it's just one of these things that popped up this year,
00:06:29.400
and, you know, it's kind of been there, but it's this alien disclosure thing.
00:06:31.940
And if what our good friend Timothy Albarino says,
00:06:35.560
which is the antichrist is going to come from this, you need to know God.
00:06:40.020
And the way I was describing it to my wife is like, if somebody said, you know,
00:06:52.020
Either you've got it wrong because I know my wife.
00:06:59.660
The point is, you know, when you know somebody intimately,
00:07:03.140
it's very hard for somebody to lie to you about that person.
00:07:10.860
something that will take the position and present itself as an alternative to Christ,
00:07:18.580
the only way you're going to be able to defend yourself from that is by knowing Christ.
00:07:28.300
Because if she did, first of all, I wouldn't be that surprised.
00:07:31.160
And secondly, my first question would be, okay, what did he do?
00:07:38.940
Because one of the issues that a lot of Christians have that I had too growing up
00:07:42.700
was that we see God the way society has presented him,
00:07:46.860
which is as this unknowable, faraway entity that's just sitting on a cloud
00:07:50.900
with a hammer in his hand, waiting to bop you over the head
00:07:54.760
that he's cold and indifferent and doesn't care about you.
00:07:58.840
And that, you know, Jesus is a sweet, lovable, human, magic teddy bear.
00:08:02.360
And, you know, God, Jehovah, is like, you know,
00:08:10.260
a deception from the enemy to keep you from being intimate with Jehovah,
00:08:16.520
Among other things, he came to restore the relationship
00:08:20.180
So, again, as you said, if you know who he really is,
00:08:24.300
And that's why one of my biggest pet peeves is any type of deception
00:08:27.160
or anything that paints God in the wrong picture,
00:08:30.180
like, you know, our boy Billy Carson and people like him
00:08:33.120
who will say, you know, Jehovah of the Old Testament
00:08:39.420
If you read the Bible, I mean, if you study the Bible,
00:08:41.280
not just read it, but study it, you will see it's the opposite.
00:08:46.300
He just says, here, I want you guys to be happy.
00:08:48.920
Here's your own planet with everything you want on it.
00:08:54.580
Let's just walk and talk in the cool of the day.
00:08:57.120
And everything he does after that is a reaction to the things that we do
00:09:04.020
I mean, imagine this, that you can hurt God's feelings
00:09:14.740
the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
00:09:17.060
And the question is, why would God even put this tree
00:09:19.700
in the garden of good, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
00:09:22.480
giving people the option, giving Adam and Eve the option
00:09:24.920
of like, of rejecting him or, and disobeying him?
00:09:37.640
We love our kids, but we're not always happy with them.
00:09:41.940
It is a choice you make to put someone ahead of yourself.
00:09:55.140
he's intentionally made the God of the universe
00:09:57.000
who created everything has made himself vulnerable to us.
00:10:12.560
the purpose is to know him, to know his character,
00:10:15.020
so that if someone presents him as anything that's not him,
00:10:20.420
And that's what, again, what Faith by Reason is all about.
00:10:25.040
Like I've been going through this thing recently
00:10:27.220
where I'm realizing for all of the information that I have
00:10:30.380
in this whole like truth or conspiracy movement,
00:10:32.240
which like, you know, that is what got me to the show.
00:10:42.520
that pursuit of truth is exactly what will be hijacked.
00:10:46.000
And what will be leveraged is our own understanding,
00:10:59.500
You're going to find yourself in some sort of Gnosticism.
00:11:02.060
You're going to find yourself in some sort of Demi-urge,
00:11:05.060
you know, kind of a scenario where I'm watching people,
00:11:08.780
you know, significantly higher intellects than myself
00:11:21.640
it's the same thing that God was telling Job, right?
00:11:25.880
It's like, we're only here for this little blip in time.
00:11:30.300
Top says we used to get 150 before the Jews ruined it for us.
00:11:41.360
and understand it all in this short amount of time,
00:11:45.160
is you're going to come to a bunch of really bad conclusions.
00:11:51.680
which is a lot of what we're coming up against, you know.
00:11:54.960
Isn't it interesting that of all the so-called religious figures,
00:12:01.040
well, you know, all the religions are the same.
00:12:06.040
how come everyone wants to co-opt Jesus into their movement?
00:12:17.560
You only, Jesus is the only one people want to warp
00:12:28.580
and the times that I think are coming upon us pretty shortly,
00:12:33.480
of miscasting God and Jesus into these different things.
00:12:40.320
which you can get on Patreon or on Faith by Reason,
00:12:47.600
we talked about this before during the Revelation series,
00:12:56.820
I think it's actually a final satanic deception.
00:13:01.080
the point of this is when you get to the sixth seal,
00:13:55.300
and he's going to pour out wrath later in Revelation.
01:32:25.520
He was a, he was a Middle Eastern Jew who was a
01:32:35.060
Jesus was hauling around planks of wood and stone.
01:32:38.340
Anyway, the point is the depiction of Jesus is that this
01:32:41.480
wimpy guy who doesn't do any, who has no, no backbone.
01:32:47.280
So the thing is, and this is something I learned from John
01:32:49.680
Lenhart is that human beings, we need limitations and we
01:32:55.720
We, we want freedom within the Bible always gives us freedom
01:33:01.760
You can eat of any of the trees, any trees in the garden,
01:33:07.780
If you go too far to one end or the other, there's going to
01:33:11.080
The moral relativism goes all the way to the freedom side of
01:33:18.660
They want structure, but they've gone too far to the other
01:33:21.260
side because Catholicism and Orthodoxy are all about
01:33:35.400
All these things provide structure, which these young men
01:33:40.580
So they're gravitating to a church that says, we know
01:33:43.080
absolute right or wrong, and we're going to give you the
01:33:47.260
And the Orthodox church does it the same way, not to the same
01:33:49.420
degree as Catholicism, but they have their priests and you
01:33:55.060
You need a priest, somebody in a robe to tell you what
01:34:00.980
And you look, again, like him or not, and I don't, Nick Fuentes
01:34:04.700
is speaking for a lot of these disassociated men.
01:34:09.200
You have, you know, Candace Owens is a chief, went hyper-Catholic
01:34:17.020
You name all these Michael Knowles, who I think is a reasonable guy,
01:34:23.560
You have Jay Dyer, very smart guy, great researcher, very Orthodox.
01:34:27.280
He went from an evangelical church to Orthodoxy because he wants to rely on the church fathers.
01:34:32.540
That's what Orthodox, the difference between Catholicism and Orthodoxy is the Orthodox is all
01:34:36.740
about, you know, following the footsteps of the church fathers who are men.
01:34:42.060
And some of them have some pretty messed up doctrines.
01:34:44.820
Like Augustine, you know, he was very anti-Semitic.
01:34:48.300
Origen, he denied the existence of the Nephilim.
01:34:52.740
So the point is that they're going too far to the limitation side, too much structure.
01:34:58.040
And I think they're going to eventually get tired of that.
01:35:01.660
And they're going to be looking for guidance because they went all the way to the freedom
01:35:07.600
Now they're swinging all the way back to the structure side, too many limitations because
01:35:10.920
the Catholic church and Orthodoxy is full of rules.
01:35:14.080
We can't be too much freedom, too much limitation.
01:35:22.740
That figure eight that you were talking about, when you said that, I'm like, that's a great
01:35:26.400
depiction of like, I mean, an animal, if you could send me the scripture that that's
01:35:31.320
from, but an animal cut in half in this figure eight that it symbolizes like obviously eternity,
01:35:38.220
it symbolizes this connection in the middle, but it also symbolizes like you're going too
01:35:43.400
But like where you kind of have to be is in that intersection.
01:35:47.280
So you can go all the way to the right here to this masculinity that people.
01:35:50.600
Desire, and I get why they desire it, because they've been on the other side of this femininity
01:35:57.120
But yeah, neither of these things are the way that it's supposed to be.
01:36:00.760
It's that balance in the center, which is like, you know, a lot of the things that
01:36:05.940
I said, Jason, about Buddhism like this, this balance is like, yeah, these are necessary
01:36:11.980
Christianity, but then it just, it gets a little tricky with that.
01:36:16.720
Yeah, I'll wrap it up with this, because my prediction, probably not necessarily for next
01:36:19.480
year, but I think in the years to come, I think that there's going to be a backlash
01:36:22.660
against the orthodoxy and the Catholicism stuff.
01:36:25.820
And then these guys are going to be completely lost.
01:36:28.480
And I think there's an opportunity for revival when they get tired of both the extremes and
01:36:39.440
I don't know, because we were talking about this before, Raven, where you were saying that
01:36:43.680
everyone's going to Christianity with the whole TPUSA thing.
01:36:48.300
And if my Hegelian dialectic theory is true, and Catholic Catholicism is exactly where they
01:36:56.320
Because you had this idea that Candace was saying that before Charlie Kirk died, he was
01:37:00.220
like praying the rosary and visiting Catholic churches.
01:37:06.480
But if she has an agenda, which I think she does, I think a lot of people have agendas,
01:37:10.780
and Jimmy Dore, who I think is funny, but that dude is like jockeying her hard.
01:37:21.240
But my point, and he isn't even religious at all.
01:37:24.720
My point is, if she's trying to paint Charlie Kirk as becoming Catholic right before he died,
01:37:32.980
So that's just another thing that it's like people take sides.
01:37:37.780
People, they're jumping on, I'm Candace's side.
01:37:42.940
I'm like, I'm just kind of interested that this is still, I'm glad that she's doing what
01:37:47.740
Because, you know, like most conspiracies, you can just kill a president and then that'll
01:37:52.140
be put to bed for a while until some kind of movement comes along years later.
01:37:56.020
But it's like, we're moving so fast in it that like, where she's not going to let this
01:38:03.460
But I'm kind of glad that she's not letting that because something happened that we don't
01:38:07.920
And I'm like, I'd like to know, I think we should get to the bottom of because it's
01:38:10.900
important to our society and the structure of what's holding us all together, that we
01:38:17.920
And everybody is kind of, not kind of, everybody's satisfied with blaming a patsy, believing
01:38:28.120
So again, this, but it's like one of these things again, it drive you freaking crazy because
01:38:35.940
On the other side of that, it's like the government.
01:38:39.060
And then again, now I'm here and I'm kind of like, I just kind of want to hear, like
01:38:48.220
I mean, she's completely abandoned like the, the French, um, uh, Macron, Macron's and, you
01:38:54.080
know, and being a dude, the, the, the, the Mrs. Macron Brigitte, and she's totally all
01:38:59.860
I mean, on, on the surface, you know, apparently they were friends.
01:39:03.760
I didn't follow Charlie Kirk that carefully before this happened.
01:39:05.840
I, he was just a guy I would see him on, on doing debates on YouTube.
01:39:08.360
And I, I love seeing dumb people getting smacked down by good debaters.
01:39:12.220
That's, that's really what I knew about him finding out a lot about this.
01:39:15.200
And, and I agree that the official story makes no sense at all.
01:39:18.520
Um, so I'm curious to see where this is going to land, but I'm also trying to always take
01:39:24.400
a step back and look at the big picture and saying, what's the agenda behind everyone on
01:39:31.940
Well, if there is an agenda, and I don't know that this is the agenda, but it does seem to
01:39:35.740
me that the, uh, Nick Fuentes thing, the big moment that happened recently, where he was
01:39:41.080
saying that he doesn't think that people should be allowed to interpret their own Bibles or
01:39:45.040
read their own Bibles, that you should have church elders or, you know, whoever be able
01:39:49.680
to interpret these things for you, because otherwise it results in things like, and I think the
01:39:53.500
example he used was, you know, lesbian pastors or what have you, like these things emerge
01:40:00.720
out of people putting their own understanding on scripture.
01:40:04.200
Maybe there's an argument to be made about that, but I think that's a super dangerous
01:40:08.740
And one of the, I was talking to, uh, it's almost like, it's almost like, yeah, there's
01:40:14.580
And they're talking about, you know, Mary's femininity and her, her liberalism.
01:40:18.700
And it's like, this is the obvious stupid, but the, I was listening to that recently where
01:40:22.880
some chick is like, Oh, Mary is actually like this side character, but I think she's actually
01:40:28.820
Someone was talking about like, Oh, the idea of her virginity just meant that she had like
01:40:32.660
And I'm like, Oh, these people are like, so lost in the weeds that we should stone them
01:40:37.360
This is, I mean, no, you, you can safely discard them, but they're used as this straw man by
01:40:48.800
So, but one of the pieces of scripture that, that Matt brought up, and I'm going to use
01:40:52.060
the new living translation because I can't read, uh, King James.
01:40:56.980
Uh, but it's John, uh, one John two 27 says, but you have received the Holy spirit and he
01:41:03.180
So you don't need anyone to teach you what is true for the spirit.
01:41:06.440
It's called the anointing in, in, uh, in, in the other versions, but, uh, for the spirit
01:41:10.920
teaches you and what he teaches you is true and is not a lie.
01:41:15.260
Uh, so just as he has taught you remain in fellowship with Christ.
01:41:19.040
And it's like this idea, like, so I, I understand the Sola scripture kind of characters where
01:41:24.400
it's like, you don't, I mean, right there, it's telling you, you know, you've received
01:41:31.680
The Holy spirit is this supernatural aspect that reveals things to you, that teaches
01:41:37.560
And you only need, you know, other people to teach you if you don't have that supernatural
01:41:44.720
It does seem like a lot of, you know, orthodoxy and, and Catholicism.
01:41:50.400
Is, is much more about, um, is, is much more about, uh, like, I don't know, legalistic
01:41:58.980
text-based information-based, very rigid, no inclusion of the spirit.
01:42:05.340
And, and, uh, and, and I think that that is where you get these things that emerge from
01:42:10.600
it, uh, which is the debate orthodox, like, you know, Jay Dyer does that very well.
01:42:15.140
These are what the letters to the churches are right there.
01:42:16.720
It's like constantly pointing out, it's like, you guys are a little bit, uh, too rambunctious.
01:42:25.040
So it's like, yeah, we have to remove the spirit from it.
01:42:28.300
Well, it's a, it's a, it's a text from which to draw arguments from.
01:42:31.020
Man, that, that, uh, infinity symbol really starts to make a lot more sense.
01:42:38.700
The scripture is, is in, um, in, in Genesis, but it doesn't specifically say a figure eight.
01:42:45.580
It was a Jewish tradition, uh, not just Jewish.
01:42:48.180
It was actually an ancient tradition that you would walk in that figure eight.
01:42:52.760
It just says that they, they walked between that.
01:42:55.720
Well, God walks, um, uh, between the animals, but it's, but it is the, it's historic that
01:43:01.660
they will walk in a, in a figure eight around, around the pieces.
01:43:05.180
So you won't find those exact words of figure eight, but it's just implied because again,
01:43:11.620
So, so I don't, I don't want you to think that, um, it's going to specifically say they
01:43:19.760
I mean, the meta logo is also that pattern as well.
01:43:23.720
I would be, I would be fascinated to hear Fuentes deal with that piece of scripture that, uh,
01:43:30.040
that we just read here, because it's, it seems pretty clear.
01:43:33.120
I mean, even, even within the context, uh, you know, it's, it seems pretty clear.
01:43:36.960
It's talking about the anointing, receiving the Holy spirit, the Holy spirit lives within
01:43:42.540
So you don't need another man to teach you what is true.
01:43:45.680
And that's saying there's not a place for these, these, you know, spiritual guides, you
01:43:50.380
know, but, but it's like, as far as a need, it is, it's you and the word of God and the
01:43:59.040
So here's the thing you I've been taught, you've been taught, we've all been taught
01:44:03.220
by people who are greater than us, but that doesn't mean you suspend your critical thinking
01:44:10.740
Well, maybe we're not as good as he's having arguments about Catholicism.
01:44:13.320
He's Catholic, very smart guy, advanced degree.
01:44:18.600
He, we, he will debate anything except what the Catholic hierarchy says about the Bible.
01:44:23.800
And I asked him like, dude, why is it that in every other subject in your life, you will
01:44:29.360
But in this case, you check your brain at the door and do, and say whatever, and believe
01:44:33.900
whatever these people and rogues who have a history of not being the best people on earth
01:44:37.740
say, he says, well, because this is there, this is God's church.
01:44:46.940
So we can, the, the, the verse that I would, uh, quote on this, the verse you quoted grave
01:44:53.660
But I would also add something that Paul said about the Bereans, the people of Berea, one
01:44:58.300
of the churches versus the church at Thessalonica.
01:45:00.540
And he said, the Bereans were more noble than those at Thessalonica because they received
01:45:05.760
But then they searched the scriptures daily to see if they were true.
01:45:08.420
That is, so that's to say, you can listen to anyone, then go to the scripture and say,
01:45:13.440
is that, does this conflict with or contradict the scripture?
01:45:19.360
If you have a, at least a fifth grade reading level, you can know what this means.
01:45:23.660
If you, if you, like what you were talking about top with, with, with the, uh, with
01:45:32.940
It means you have not had sex with another human being.
01:45:35.280
So if someone says it's female sovereignty, okay, let me read the Bible.
01:45:39.600
Oh, it says virgin means she's never known sexually a man.
01:45:46.840
The Bible says being a virgin means you've never had sex.
01:45:49.680
So you can reject the idea that it means, oh, she was a sovereign female.
01:45:54.840
So you can listen to everyone, but then let the Bible be the arbiter of what is true and
01:46:06.520
If you, if you, and if you're not sure you have, we have no excuse in our age.
01:46:11.720
You can go to Bible gateway and blue letter Bible is has in your free interlinear Bible.
01:46:16.440
You can see what every word means in its original language.
01:46:22.380
You don't need, you don't need me or anyone else.
01:46:24.200
I'd love for you to listen and cause I want to help.
01:46:27.000
But if you don't go, you can study the Bible interlinearly.
01:46:31.000
You can see what every word means in its context, in its original language, in its verb tense,
01:46:39.680
You have, you have no excuse for not studying and for believing the nonsense.
01:46:44.260
And I think God's going to hold every, especially this age, he's going to hold us extremely
01:46:48.000
Well, we love blue letter Bible and we take back all the previous death threats that we
01:46:54.200
And none of those were actionable threats and, and, and God bless blue letter Bible.
01:47:01.060
Feel free to use their tons, their tons of tools.
01:47:10.700
We just went through a weird thing with them, but we love them.
01:47:13.040
And I don't think they knew that it was, I think it was a one-sided thing.
01:47:15.020
It's funny, our, the latest episode that we did with Matt was about law.
01:47:18.500
It was about the law and it's mimicking a lot of what you're saying.
01:47:21.800
This episode is actually going to drop tonight.
01:47:23.720
It's called, uh, uh, drinking, eating, drinking in the Sabbath.
01:47:27.380
And, uh, it's basically God saying like, Hey, what's everything is lawful.
01:47:31.040
Everything is lawful, but people want the rules and, and I'm guilty of it too.
01:47:37.440
So I, I know what I can and can't do because it's an abdication of my responsibility in a way.
01:47:44.640
So I don't have to like, we're, we're, we're faced with so many decisions per day.
01:47:49.040
I guess it's a cop-out where I'm kind of like, I don't want to be responsible for just tell me,
01:48:08.920
He'll get, I mean, in the Orthodox tradition, he'll give me a different name and he'll guide me.
01:48:12.280
And I, I think that there's some, something to that, but then there is also this idea of like,
01:48:16.900
yeah, everything in the new Testament, it's like, everything is lawful to God.
01:48:19.960
When he breaks that whole idea of like what the, what you can eat as a Jew or when you can eat it.
01:48:25.080
It's the idea of Jesus doing stuff on the Sabbath and constantly just disrespecting the Pharisees.
01:48:31.680
I, that's what that was about, but we're constantly asking for the rules.
01:48:40.380
We, we crave freedom and we, and we crave rules.
01:48:45.500
So you, you have, but sometimes we want all the freedom and no rules.
01:48:53.520
I mean, you know, Paul will comment with the commentary for half the new Testament.
01:49:00.620
They're inspired by the Holy spirit, but he was there.
01:49:04.920
That would be kind of a self-defeating statement.
01:49:07.520
But what I am saying is that you, the Holy spirit, if you're a Christian, he lives inside of you and he can tell you if something is wrong.
01:49:13.400
Like I said, I've been confronted by people who've said, you know, Ed, you were wrong on this.
01:49:19.900
And I had to change because I realized that what I was teaching was more tradition than Bible.
01:49:26.160
So we should all be questioning everything and everyone and leaning on the word of God.
01:49:31.040
And if you are a Christian, you have the Holy spirit inside of you.
01:49:35.460
If you were open to it, but if you shut him out, he's not going to shout over you.
01:49:38.400
If you say, I'm not going to, I'm not going to listen to you.
01:49:42.820
One of our, one of our, to the year in review thing.
01:49:45.640
One of the episodes that we did where I came away from it.
01:49:47.860
I'll just be honest, I was disagreeing with you a little bit, um, was the Halloween episode.
01:49:57.040
That just seems like a, this is, if it's a stumbling block for you.
01:50:00.640
But yeah, this is an, and the more, like the more examples that I read about it, I'm like,
01:50:15.260
But Ed was like, that's the, you're like, that's not what it says.
01:50:17.320
And when I came away from the episode, I was kind of like, man, fuck Ed.
01:50:22.860
I was just, I was a little bit like, like, I don't know.
01:50:27.460
I wanted, I wanted to know where the, where the fishing line ended and where the crossing
01:50:35.080
And the answer is, it's like, well, you know, for you, for what's good for you is
01:50:42.180
Like, is that a stumbling block to somebody else?
01:50:48.860
The stumbling block is, is like, that's one of these things that, you know, every time
01:50:52.300
I use, I learn something, I use it over and over and over again.
01:50:56.840
Stumbling block since that episode has been one of those that I haven't let go of.
01:51:01.300
And it's, I was actually going to say only moments ago, it's fascinating how religion
01:51:05.760
is a tremendous stumbling block for so many people considering that Christianity is, is
01:51:14.000
But it can, it can get you all caught up in it.
01:51:17.680
You know, I was, I saw recently a picture of like Nimrod, some, some, you know, ancient
01:51:23.940
visage of him carrying a pine tree and who the hell knows if it's real and a, and a,
01:51:34.420
And I'm like, I don't know if that's true or not.
01:51:38.140
You know, it's like, you know, these days, but now you have three homages to Nimrod.
01:51:46.820
You tried to invite me to Titi, Titi Peepee's hat, whatever her name is.
01:51:56.620
And I, and I just, I find it fascinating because, you know, you're not with that, those, you
01:52:02.400
You go, I love the Lord, but look at my Christmas trees.
01:52:08.680
Well, Christmas is, I mean, Christ's mass, it's, it's, it's basically Saturnalia, which
01:52:12.960
is the, the worship of the, of the sun, God, soul, and Victus was Nimrod.
01:52:17.040
I mean, it really, it literally is the Christian.
01:52:19.360
That's when it's, that's why, when I say, I know I get Catholics really pissed off in
01:52:23.020
me when I say that Catholicism is an amalgamation of Christianity and paganism, but it is.
01:52:31.660
That shepherds would not have had sheep out in the field during that time of year.
01:52:37.500
Because that is the celebration of the sun, God, soul, and Victus.
01:52:40.880
And they just slapped the name of, of Christmas on it because, you know, it, Jesus is the son
01:52:46.660
The sun, God is also considered the son of God.
01:52:49.100
He, you know, and there's a similarity where, you know, the, the sun is in its lowest part
01:52:53.500
of the sky for three days from December 21st to 23rd.
01:53:12.500
We'll bring it up, but I mean, we'll bring it up.
01:53:22.900
I mean, that's a, that David, David, when he ate the bread at Nod, the stuff that he
01:53:26.780
was not supposed to eat, the disciples said that they could, he said, you could eat, you
01:53:34.160
It's just like, you know, no, I don't, I don't think there's anything.
01:53:38.840
If you're, if you're setting out to, you know, engage in, in gratitude and, and the love
01:53:44.340
of Jesus Christ on the, on that day, then, you know, that, that is what it is.
01:53:48.640
Because, you know, obviously there's a spiritual intent or else our worship wouldn't mean
01:53:54.440
You know, like the way you've described it is like, it's like a drug for them.
01:54:00.380
We, we determine what that spiritual energy is.
01:54:03.600
If we're, if we're out there worshiping, uh, God and, and, and exuding gratitude for
01:54:09.860
not only our family, but for this, you know, this miracle of Jesus Christ.
01:54:13.520
Like, yeah, that's, that's a very particular, this just happens to be the days that we get
01:54:17.180
off for it, but I just don't know if like, we should have like a half a tree or if we
01:54:22.920
Like, where's the line, Ed, can you just draw some, get the fishing string and draw it out
01:54:28.920
for us so we know what, what, what we're supposed to do here.
01:54:31.800
I will say the freedom we have in Christ can be scary.
01:54:39.500
As you grow, I think when you are a young Christian, you should probably abstain from
01:54:45.400
I think I said this, maybe I didn't say it on your show, but I think I did it on the
01:54:48.680
I said, if you are coming out of paganism, especially if you're a new Christian and you're coming out
01:54:52.940
of paganism, stay the hell away from Halloween as you grow in it, you, then you can, you know,
01:54:59.500
you'll bring things back in and, and cause it won't be harmful to you.
01:55:02.980
But if it's, if it is something that you're not ready for, by all means, don't do it.
01:55:07.500
Stay as far away from it as you possibly can because, but you're expected to grow in Christ.
01:55:13.740
You know, we're, we're, we're all raising kids here.
01:55:15.980
We don't have my, my oldest son's 11 right now.
01:55:18.560
He doesn't have the same rules I had for him when he was five.
01:55:23.760
Now I wouldn't let him do that when he was three, he'd burn down the house, but I expect
01:55:28.040
him to grow and have more freedom and more responsibility.
01:55:30.700
So I will let him do things that are dangerous.
01:55:35.740
He went in, he got, you know, he turned the fire on, he cracked the egg.
01:55:39.020
He would not have done that when he was younger because it would have been a disaster.
01:55:41.840
But as he grows, he has more responsibility and he can handle the dangerous stuff.
01:55:46.500
That's what we're supposed to do as we grow in Christ.
01:55:51.220
They don't want us to be constantly under, you know, this harsh rule.
01:55:57.100
He calls the law something that it's like a caretaker.
01:56:01.560
I think it's in Galatians where he says, you know, the law is like a tutor when you're
01:56:06.760
growing up, but you don't stay under a tutor forever.
01:56:09.880
You're supposed to grow up and become a man or a woman and be off on your own.
01:56:16.640
I say, I'm telling you these rules so that you know how to behave so that when you're
01:56:19.180
out of the house, 18, you're not going to screw up because you already know how to do
01:56:25.400
But that doesn't mean you do exactly the way I'm doing things.
01:56:29.600
But you know that you have the guardrails and you can handle situations.
01:56:33.500
And even when you go off and your life descends into chaos, you at least go like, what can
01:56:44.740
And it doesn't have to be exactly the way that you set it up in your house.
01:56:54.140
I don't know what kind of time we have, Ed, you know, I know you probably got some stuff
01:57:07.620
And I did promise my son that I got to take him to an amusement park tomorrow.
01:57:15.680
I want to end talking about the spiritual warfare course.
01:57:17.880
Yeah, please go wherever you want with it because I feel like we've already derailed you.
01:57:23.960
There's only a couple of things I haven't touched on.
01:57:25.280
One, I'll make it quick with the year in review.
01:57:27.560
One of the big things was the rapture that was supposed to happen in September.
01:57:32.980
And I don't have to spend a lot of time on this because obviously it didn't unless we
01:57:37.300
I'm missing a tremendous amount of family members.
01:57:41.320
But there were all these reasons that people had with the Feast of Trumpets and this being
01:57:46.840
2025 being the beginning of the last jubilee, which is the last 50 years before the next
01:57:53.420
era, which is supposed to be the millennial reign of Christ.
01:57:58.580
And so people had all these reasons to point out or to believe that the rapture would happen
01:58:05.680
on the Feast of Trumpets, which would be anywhere between the 21st to 24th of September.
01:58:17.320
And the warning that I had was, look, maybe it will, maybe it won't.
01:58:21.600
But if it doesn't happen, don't feel that God let you down because that's really the danger
01:58:26.240
and hyping people up and making them think that, you know, hear all these charts and
01:58:30.440
graphs and Bible verses and signs in the heavens, people believe it.
01:58:34.780
And then when it doesn't happen, they get disappointed in God.
01:58:38.820
The people who let you down were these date setting dorks who have all these channels who
01:58:43.620
are trying to get views and clicks to make more money.
01:58:46.980
And then what happened after it is exactly what I said was going to happen.
01:58:50.980
I said that none of these people, oh, maybe a few did, but most of them did not come back
01:59:02.080
There was, you know, some of them were saying, I staked my life.
01:59:04.100
There was no way 2025 will end without Jesus returning.
01:59:08.740
I don't think it's, I don't think it's going to happen.
01:59:11.380
But instead of admitting they were wrong, they just said, well, maybe, maybe I missed a decimal
01:59:15.420
I didn't carry the two on, on my, my chart and, or my mathematics.
01:59:20.000
And so it was being kicked down the road or, or they said, well, I didn't really set a date.
01:59:34.960
You're still setting a date because you're trying to get people to click on your channel
01:59:47.720
I forget his name now, but he was actually just mentioned in the comments here.
02:00:01.940
He claimed he, he claimed he talked to Jesus directly and Jesus told him.
02:00:08.560
Because if you're not doing that, that's, that's borderline blasphemy.
02:00:12.240
You can say that he's a, he's from Ghana, uh, preparing the same way that Noah did.
02:00:22.420
I mean, we don't have to get into it too much, but there you go.
02:00:25.720
He's making sure the gaps are, I mean, honestly, sound construction.
02:00:33.320
Is he wearing the sackcloth as a, as an option?
02:00:37.800
And when you're working, it's, uh, I don't know.
02:00:40.560
I mean, I think it's, I think, I think it's like, you know, good for the heat.
02:00:46.200
I think he, he likely did, you know, there's no shortage of, of entities masquerading as
02:00:53.740
I've heard enough stories where I go, I don't doubt that you experienced something.
02:00:58.300
Uh, and so some, you know, asshole ancient entity is laughing hard, dude, which you kind
02:01:09.020
So again, the moral of the story is God didn't, didn't disappoint you.
02:01:15.880
So you should be very, very discerning when someone is setting dates.
02:01:19.460
We, we, we don't know when it's going to happen.
02:01:24.360
There's reason to believe that it will happen on a feast of trumpets.
02:01:28.940
And just don't put your faith in all of these charts and graphs and, you know, equations
02:01:35.280
that people come up with because they're always wrong.
02:01:39.100
So, I mean, you know, it happens over and over again.
02:01:41.000
I don't know how many, I, what I had to do was, um, be wrong a bunch of times before I
02:01:46.880
finally stopped paying attention to that stuff.
02:01:48.560
So for some people, hopefully you go through it and you go through it the right way, where
02:01:53.080
instead of throwing everything out, you realize like, no, this is just some aspect that man
02:01:58.660
It's the same way when you go through a whole religious system and you, you, you know, you're
02:02:02.320
burned by it, that you don't turn your back on God.
02:02:04.760
You go, this is just some aspect that man created and, you know, screwed up.
02:02:09.420
Also to harken back to the beginning of the episode, it's like, how do you deal with people
02:02:12.400
that are like really good within the space, but maybe you, you, you think that they've gotten
02:02:18.880
And it's unfortunate because when you're on, you know, even Ed, when you're on a show like
02:02:23.380
Merkel, if you say something that somebody comes in, it's like, that's wrong.
02:02:29.160
How else am I supposed to correct you on a public forum like this now?
02:02:32.060
Now, like, cause we're both elevated to such a level that like, well, when I correct you,
02:02:36.780
you know, you're going to fall and that's not going to be great for you.
02:02:42.320
It also gets weird too, because doing that is a form of currency, whether or not you'd like
02:02:46.080
to admit it, whether or not that's your goal, if you can effectively tear down another creator
02:02:53.380
And it's like, maybe that's not the point, but for some people, it is the point.
02:02:57.060
And regardless, it is the outcome, which is gross and weird and, you know, hard to navigate.
02:03:05.560
And I, obviously I'm in complete disagreement with it, but the people who promoted, you know,
02:03:11.800
I don't know them personally, so I'm not going to say bad things about them.
02:03:15.700
I will say, I don't agree with their, their theory for these reasons, but I'm not going
02:03:26.100
I just disagree with it and hear my reasons for it.
02:03:30.780
I disagree with him about a couple of things, but they're also fundamental things.
02:03:34.220
If Gary Wayne came out or anyone came out and said that, well, Jesus didn't die for
02:03:39.020
But if he says, I believe that he created human beings before Adam and Eve, okay, I
02:03:44.280
I think there's some serious problems with it, but I don't think he's not a Christian
02:03:48.020
because he believes that, because he believes that.
02:03:51.080
So there has, even, and I don't believe that you're not a Christian if you believe in the
02:03:56.180
And I think it can, you know, adversely affect what you think about Jehovah and how he handles
02:04:00.980
things that he would put you under the unfettered reign of Satan for 300 years.
02:04:06.780
That's a problem, but it doesn't make you not a Christian.
02:04:10.220
So that's where you have, and there are plenty of people I disagree with.
02:04:13.960
And, you know, there was, there was, you know, some people, if you watch, like, if you listen
02:04:17.440
to, you know, Sam Tripoli's show or any of these shows, you have people on who I think
02:04:21.240
are sincere and they're trying to make sense of the world.
02:04:26.020
So he had one guy on there who said, well, Jesus is a homunculus because, or a golem,
02:04:30.660
basically, because in certain Jewish or Kabbalistic traditions, they would, you would form this
02:04:37.580
flesh bot and put it inside of a woman and it would be birthed.
02:04:50.520
I'm just going to say that, you know, do some more, you know, get into things a little
02:04:54.000
bit more carefully and understand things better, but I'm not going to tear down someone, you
02:04:59.480
know, just because, just to try to give myself views and clicks, because I'm going to have
02:05:03.980
You know, I tell my son all the time about, we talk about making good choices and he says,
02:05:08.960
I said, well, because it's not every choice has a consequence.
02:05:11.400
And before you make the choice, ask yourself, are you, are you willing to live with what the
02:05:16.860
And what are the consequences of me tearing down another Christian if I don't have enough
02:05:25.940
I'm going to have to answer to that, about that before God.
02:05:30.040
So you can tear down what somebody says, but who they are, that's, that's where you're
02:05:35.460
It's, it's a, it's kind of a hard place to be because like I said earlier, with all these
02:05:39.800
people coming to Christianity and I'm certainly no authority on the topic, but I do recognize
02:05:43.940
that it is an important time to be having difficult conversations in order to be able to get to
02:05:50.900
And they probably should be had in a public fashion so that people can see this and it'll
02:05:56.760
But I think mostly what we're dealing with in these spaces is, you know, people just believe
02:06:02.900
I don't think we, you know, we have a tendency to point at somebody and go fed, fed, you know,
02:06:08.520
I think far and few in between, I think it's really mostly people that are just incorrect
02:06:13.860
and, but, you know, are earnest and are, you know, trying to understand the truth.
02:06:19.180
But I do think every once in a while you do run into some weird shit and, and, you know,
02:06:24.040
it's hard to, to kind of parse those people apart because I don't think that you being
02:06:28.860
wrong deserves anywhere near the same amount of judgment as you being some sort of an operative
02:06:35.300
who's going out and misleading people and, and jeopardizing the souls of, of individuals.
02:06:40.100
Because at the end of the day, what this is, is it's a war.
02:06:44.980
We're not struggling against a flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities and spiritual
02:06:52.960
So, so that's the thing that we're tug of warring against.
02:06:55.880
And if, if you're somebody who's in the space, who's actually subversive and, and is,
02:07:01.340
I mean, that's what you're subverting is the eternal salvation of, of your brothers,
02:07:08.360
So, but it's, man, good luck figuring out who those people are.
02:07:13.460
But, but also the good news is, let's say you are wrong.
02:07:16.100
Let's say you call someone a fed and there, it turns out they're not a fed.
02:07:18.420
If you say someone, you're not a Christian and you are, you know what you can, and they're
02:07:21.780
not, what if you say you're not a Christian, but it turns out they actually are, you can
02:07:30.540
I mean, there's, you know, there's some people who I, you know, I think Tucker Carlson's
02:07:45.220
So even if we are wrong, we, we're never going to be perfect.
02:07:52.060
Well, thank God our God is the, the God of forgiveness.
02:07:55.020
Because, uh, you know, that could get, that could get sticky, but, you know, it makes sense because
02:08:01.600
There's so much that, and right now we are, we did an episode recently on this idea of,
02:08:06.600
of golden apples, just to give you a, that sort of 10,000 foot overview, this idea that,
02:08:12.180
uh, within Greek mythology, I think it was, uh, uh, person of whatever, it doesn't matter.
02:08:19.160
Uh, would throw these golden apples and they would cause chaos.
02:08:22.080
And, and a lot of the time the chaos was just the infatuation with the thing itself.
02:08:26.360
And the more focus that you gave to this apple, the larger it would become to the, to the point
02:08:31.780
where it would block you from going any further.
02:08:33.740
And I realized that that is a great analogy for, for so many of these psychological operations
02:08:38.720
we're being subjected to specifically in the conspiracy community.
02:08:42.940
There are so many things that are, are, uh, beckoning for our attention.
02:08:47.860
And if you spend too much time with them, they become so immense that they block your
02:09:00.900
If that's the goal, then any number of things, whether it's three, I Atlas, or it's, you know,
02:09:07.420
it's, uh, Charlie Kirk's, uh, as you know, assassination, any of these things can be become
02:09:12.380
a sticking point can become a golden apple that could become so huge that it demands all
02:09:19.680
But what is your time and focus supposed to be dedicated to it's, you know, these great
02:09:24.640
works of, of, of creating disciples and bringing people, uh, to, to Christ and, and spreading
02:09:30.300
So, uh, you know, I I'm realizing like this place that I spent so long in this truth or
02:09:36.780
conspiracy community that like, I am grateful for it because it got me to Jesus, um, is now
02:09:43.160
I think fully weaponized against us, us being critical thinkers, seekers, people that are
02:09:51.500
This thing is, is reached such a critical mass as more conspiracy theorists than there ever
02:09:57.460
We talk about it endlessly about 2020, having woken up so many people when, and, and then
02:10:02.040
what they did is they just injected so much bullshit into this.
02:10:06.800
And it makes me realize like this whole Gnosticism, this ascended master crap, like all of these
02:10:12.180
things that you come to, uh, the Demi urge and, and, you know, the God of the old Testament
02:10:16.440
not being the, all these things, all these things, they are the conclusions that basically
02:10:23.000
a truther might come to, if you spend too much time obsessing over the, the false breadcrumb
02:10:31.000
At some point you do have to just throw your hands up and go, there are things that I'm
02:10:36.760
And I've been blessed to, to have as many things revealed to me as, as have been, but faith
02:10:42.540
is a huge component of this because like we talked about with, with Job, we weren't here
02:10:55.120
You know, you're blessed to understand anything at all.
02:10:57.540
One of the things that I've been saying lately is kind of the old lady who just stays in her
02:11:03.560
Uh, we've been calling it grandma maxing the old lady who stays in her Bible, who, who
02:11:08.060
believes in Jesus, uh, whose, whose eyes are fixed on God.
02:11:12.580
Uh, she doesn't need all the information that we have.
02:11:17.720
So if some gigantic alien disclosure thing, and we've been sleuthing through it and looking
02:11:22.140
for all the clues and we're trying to scream it and she looks at it and goes, Nope, demonic.
02:11:36.100
She doesn't need to have sleuth for 20 years and, and connected all the dots and, and,
02:11:40.860
you know, had the, the red wire with the thumbtacks on the map and, and is manic and pulling her
02:11:48.100
She just had faith in the Lord and that's all she needed to get through it.
02:11:51.120
Like I'm coming to a place where I understand that now.
02:11:53.260
Ed, on a quick side note, David's, David's rant kind of reminded me of something.
02:11:57.680
Um, or not, I guess reminded me, but brought a thought to my head.
02:12:00.920
A lot of times lately with the show and what, what we're doing, I go, I didn't ask for this.
02:12:08.300
And, uh, like, as a matter of fact, I don't necessarily even want it.
02:12:12.300
Um, do you have anything on faith by reason or, uh, any of, I don't know, any sources,
02:12:20.940
resources, maybe we can cover it on a, another episode, another time about like when you get
02:12:25.320
a blessing, how you receive it, because that this is not, this idea is that's been floating
02:12:31.040
around in my head is not new and even like more current, like more recent circumstances.
02:12:36.780
I'm like, you, we get a thing that is a blessing and I go, this looks like a curse to me.
02:12:44.220
Because I don't know what to do with these things.
02:12:47.660
I know that they're like big, but I just like, I kind of want to give it back.
02:12:55.720
So I'm like, all right, well, there's biblical precedent for this.
02:12:57.960
And I need to, I need to figure, I would love to do like an episode on that, or at least
02:13:02.940
be pointed towards a resource of that, because all the stuff he's talking about is just that
02:13:09.160
And then we're kind of talking to like a lot of people and then it's, it gets weird.
02:13:13.880
It gets, and I think most creators, maybe like truck missile, you know, they're writing
02:13:18.320
books for their own, uh, to, to spread their information.
02:13:22.460
But the consequences of doing these things is you're garnering, you're garnering an audience
02:13:28.240
And now you are almost, uh, the shepherd, but you're an asshole.
02:13:38.380
Um, yeah, I think, I think that is worth another show.
02:13:41.380
Cause I think what you're saying is like, you have this, there's a responsibility that
02:13:45.920
He came to do a, you guys started doing, you know, just comedy and then, you know, then
02:13:53.100
And now you have people relying on you and call and saying, you're my, one of my spiritual
02:13:58.520
I know that because I get that a lot and it is scary.
02:14:03.260
I have some people who have asked me questions about, you know, morality and things like that.
02:14:08.980
I'm not going to out them, but they were asking me about seriously moral things.
02:14:12.200
And because it's an, and they said, we asked you this ad, because we know that you're up
02:14:21.520
Well, maybe not now, maybe I'm less screwed up than a lot of people, but I still have
02:14:25.460
I still, I fall in many ways and there's still many things that need, I need to be better
02:14:32.220
You have to shift it back towards God because it's not me because it's easy.
02:14:37.340
It will be really, really easy to start saying, yes, I'm, I'm so great because all these people
02:14:41.760
are giving me praise and I get it a lot from people who are just thanking me and I appreciate
02:14:46.060
But I always say, you know, this is God doing things through me.
02:14:48.460
This is, and we will do a whole episode on this because what it really comes down to
02:14:52.560
is how you behave when God does things through you.
02:14:55.840
We're supposed to be the conduit through which God does things.
02:14:58.940
And we give all the glory to him who, you know, who else did it?
02:15:02.500
Um, this guy named Jesus, every time people praised him, he says, I do only what the father
02:15:08.620
When I, when the rich young ruler came to him and he said, and he called all good, good,
02:15:16.300
Now, granted he had a, uh, the rich young ruler had an agenda, but Jesus was pointing
02:15:27.260
So that's one of the things, but I think that is worthy of, of a show.
02:15:35.100
Like these are dudes that just regular people and you're given this, it's a blessing, but
02:15:45.340
And it's like, man, I might be better off without them because yeah, you could be either
02:15:50.020
You could be the one that brings upon the line of Jesus.
02:15:52.400
So you could be the one that, you know, dies in a ditch.
02:15:55.380
Like this last thing that he did is conjuring, conjuring Samuel, you know, like talking to
02:16:03.840
Cause it's never that clear, you know, it's never clear of what I'm doing.
02:16:10.240
And I'm like, Hey, I'm like at some points you're like, I don't want that.
02:16:14.680
Cause I think, you know, if you declare that that's what you're doing, which I, you know,
02:16:19.140
I'll take responsibility, but I have declared, I've talked to God and asked him to use this,
02:16:30.080
If you do that and then God goes, well, here's resources, build it bigger than this thing
02:16:37.460
Well, I think how kind of, we're like real big bitches if we don't been given that.
02:16:42.340
And then they go, and now I'm like, I got it, this thing.
02:16:45.920
And there's a million things you can do with this.
02:16:48.440
And, and I, but I've been given a task and I know this is very obscure to people, but
02:16:54.100
I'm like, I have this thing and I've been given a task and it's been gratefully given
02:17:03.520
And at a certain point, I'm like, I just kind of want to give it back because I don't.
02:17:08.240
I would just say the people who, people who gave it back did not, things didn't turn out
02:17:13.820
God said to go to Nineveh, he says, nope, I'm going to Tarshish.
02:17:16.020
Okay, well now you're going to get swallowed by a fish.
02:17:19.000
You know, the, the, the people who, the parable that Jesus gave about the talents, God, Jesus,
02:17:25.480
they were given talents, you know, some, two of them did right.
02:17:33.680
But yeah, I think we should do a, we should do an episode on that.
02:17:39.560
Because this gets, this kind of gets into the spiritual warfare.
02:17:42.100
So if we can actually wrap up with, with this, because one of the goals,
02:17:46.020
of my spiritual warfare class, mine and John's is not just to teach people how to do it,
02:17:51.680
but I want, at the end, it's going to be a 12 month course.
02:17:54.680
And the reason it's so intense is because the goal is once you go through the course,
02:17:58.100
now your responsibility is to do it for others.
02:18:01.200
We're, we're training warriors to go out there and do it.
02:18:04.520
I don't want you just to sit at our feet and just keep listening to us after a year.
02:18:08.400
If you go through this, you have the ability now to go out and spread and multiply it.
02:18:13.040
Well, I think a good segue into that is something you were talking about a minute ago,
02:18:17.580
Raven, when you were saying that there's all these distractions.
02:18:21.320
That you can, that the golden apple that takes your eyes off the prize of the Great Commission.
02:18:25.640
And it's funny when, you know, cause I'm doing this,
02:18:27.800
the spiritual warfare class is going to be with myself and with John Linhart.
02:18:30.680
We're going to be, we're doing it together because we just,
02:18:33.400
And I think it'll give people a complete picture.
02:18:36.360
But we were talking about all the different types of spiritual warfare
02:18:39.540
and all the different ways of attacks because we want to be as thorough as possible.
02:18:42.940
And when, and he, he and I were talking to one thing he said that kind of blew my mind.
02:18:47.440
one of the most common areas of spiritual warfare,
02:18:49.980
spiritual attack is that we don't recognize is distraction.
02:19:01.940
being possessed by a demon and talking like this and your head spinning around
02:19:05.500
and all these terrible things going on that you see in movies.
02:19:17.680
just get you pointed one other way so that you're not doing the will of God.
02:19:23.300
You talked about Albino now being a big, I don't know, political guy.
02:19:28.460
You, God didn't call you to be a Republican or a Democrat or a conservative or a liberal.
02:19:32.060
Well, he called you to make disciples of all men.
02:19:40.380
I think we should try to make our household moral,
02:19:44.460
our community, our city, our state, and our government in that order,
02:19:50.240
But if that's your main goal, what aren't you doing?
02:19:54.100
You can get distracted by all these different things.
02:19:56.180
And Satan can just put a little distraction there.
02:20:03.480
and I've been distracted by some things that have happened with some sports teams I follow.
02:20:10.620
If you spent as much time working on this course as you do following the message boards on ESPN,
02:20:17.440
you know how much more you'd have accomplished?
02:20:20.200
So that just kind of dovetails into the warfare class.
02:20:26.880
And the reason that we even started it or had this endeavor was I,
02:20:32.020
through my Patreon, through comments here and there,
02:20:34.540
so many people have been talking about being under spiritual attack as Christians
02:20:38.500
and not knowing what to do and having spiritual oppression and just saying,
02:20:44.600
well, you know, I'm just, this is just my lot in life.
02:20:51.180
And then I mentioned, I think I mentioned on this one,
02:20:54.200
one of our podcasts and maybe a couple other places that,
02:20:56.680
yeah, I'm thinking about doing a spiritual warfare class.
02:20:59.080
Because, you know, it seems like something people need.
02:21:00.580
And I was just, had a deluge of people saying, yes, do this.
02:21:05.380
And thinking about it more and talking over it with John,
02:21:11.440
And so people have been signing up for pre-registering just to let me know
02:21:26.640
I will, you'll start receiving emails pretty soon,
02:21:31.500
The class is going to start in April, right after Bohemian Grove.
02:21:37.980
And I'm going to start sending out emails with video attachments,
02:21:42.700
to understand who this class is for and who it's not for.
02:21:49.240
If you're a non-Christian, I'm not going to stop you from taking the course,
02:21:51.880
but just know you won't fully get it because the purpose is to let you know
02:21:54.480
the authority that you have through Jesus right now.
02:22:03.000
but the only way you're going to lose a fight is if you don't fight.
02:22:13.200
You're going to pick that kid up and throw him somewhere because we know we're stronger
02:22:17.140
But if you don't believe you're stronger than the kid and you curl up in a ball and don't
02:22:21.860
eventually that 10 year old is going to wear you out.
02:22:24.160
That's the same with us and the fallen angels and the demons.
02:22:36.040
So that's what the spiritual work bear class is going to teach you how to recognize it
02:22:49.340
the knowing the difference between possession and oppression as a Christian,
02:22:56.440
Oppression comes external and you're all going to be attacked and people.
02:23:04.520
peculiar is that our churches don't teach us about this.
02:23:23.860
there was a war going on and you've just definitively taken,
02:23:49.320
You need to know what triggers you because you have a familiar spirit who knows how to trigger you.
02:24:03.280
We're going to do probably an entire month on pornography for men and women because it's very different.
02:24:09.100
The pornography that men have is more overt and more shameful,
02:24:14.160
That's much more subtle and much more socially accepted,
02:24:22.960
a sexual fantasy about someone who is not your spouse that causes you to touch yourself.
02:24:33.420
It's about some fantasy guy who is not their husband,
02:24:36.880
who gets them sexually aroused because he fits a fantasy.
02:24:41.920
but it's not behind a counter or in some sleazy video shop.
02:24:49.540
she always watching these Christmas romance movies.
02:24:59.560
We get turned on by primarily by seeing a naked woman.
02:25:02.520
Women don't get turned on the same way by seeing a guy's butt.
02:25:09.840
So seeing this guy who is a banker or an accountant or whatever,
02:25:14.700
a business owner who's just has a private jet and is like Indiana Jones or
02:25:22.100
in the Christmas movies is always the same story.
02:25:24.460
Some woman who's like a big shot executive goes back to her small hometown.
02:25:28.560
And there's another guy who raises turkeys for a living.
02:25:36.540
And she moves away from her big corporate job back to the country and raises turkeys with him.
02:25:44.940
He always looks like Brad Pitt or somebody like that.
02:25:55.840
But the purpose of it is that is an Avenue through which you,
02:26:24.400
She sent a hilarious message at first and it said,
02:26:36.680
I thought it was funny because she's an astrologist or whatever.
02:26:59.100
I've been praying more than I ever have before.
02:27:05.380
sort of petitioned these lowercase G gods over,
02:27:10.000
And she basically just said that she was like confused.
02:27:23.060
There are things that you are in agreement with.
02:27:25.060
There are spirits that have been attached to you for however long they've been attached to you.
02:27:33.600
and this is a thing that happens to a lot of people.
02:27:41.400
I started to follow Christ and all of a sudden I started having demonic attacks.
02:27:45.420
And so clearly that's not the right way to go because these things are terrifying and they weren't happening before.
02:28:11.920
They'll sage their apartments like dumbasses and they come back sevenfold.
02:28:23.900
One's going to be both can be triple digits because it's,
02:28:27.200
So it's probably going to be like a hundred for the low,
02:28:31.120
but you're going to get a bunch of other stuff.
02:28:32.320
You're going to also get access to a lot of John's material that charges a
02:28:35.520
it's going to be a discount because you're going to get like access to
02:28:44.440
I don't think bimbo astrology bimbos make anything.
02:29:02.280
like you saw something and it's spiritual implications were obvious to you,
02:29:07.720
meaning astrology and all these different things that you've looked into.
02:29:13.000
but like now you're backing out of it and you're dealing,
02:29:20.560
through all this occult crap and doing all these things for all these years.
02:29:24.280
but I've been looking into it and abstaining from Christ for what was like 16,
02:29:39.160
And then to have this like genuine conversation about it,
02:29:50.860
I don't know if bimbos for Christ is really the thing,
02:30:21.180
And one thing we're going to talk about things like that.
02:30:25.180
things that your ancestors did that it doesn't seem fair.
02:30:30.800
because you're repeating it yourself because they've passed it on to you.
02:30:38.820
God is very legalistic in the sense that he cannot break his own laws and
02:30:45.680
And if you make a covenant unknowingly or unknowingly,
02:30:48.860
you've just given an entity legal rights over you.
02:30:54.720
God is not going to break the covenant for you.
02:30:58.380
but he won't do it outside of your own purview.
02:31:21.920
and she would have financial difficulty here and there.
02:31:36.860
I had to admit that that is a generational curse that has been passed on to me.
02:31:42.300
I come to the courtroom of Jehovah and I have the advocate,
02:31:48.380
And I officially break that covenant with the demon here.
02:31:52.740
cause they have to appear at the courtroom and you can tell them,
02:32:04.360
that's one of the ways you break a generational curse.
02:32:10.700
This is one of the things that's been haunting me a little bit.
02:32:13.080
I have this thing in my life that I always get to the door.
02:32:28.920
kind of like I'm looking at whatever we're doing here and,
02:32:47.260
I think people do this on the minor and major too.
02:32:55.480
like the way that these things have infiltrated our language.
02:33:17.440
And then I come and do this show and the show said,
02:33:37.040
It's a place where all the weapons against you are stored in your own mind so that you're
02:33:44.680
Let me go into the storehouse and use his fear against him.
02:34:22.360
they were already there knowing that he's being raised in a Christian household.
02:34:27.340
Let's start planting strongholds in his mind now to use against him.
02:34:39.800
it's going to be about knowing the story of Jehovah and knowing yourself.
02:34:49.140
we're not going to teach you attacking in the first couple of months.
02:34:51.340
The first couple of months are just going to be about defending,
02:34:56.700
Then and only then are you able to start going forward and going on the offensive.
02:35:11.440
you're not going to go out and start fighting in a war.
02:35:17.400
We need to teach you how to put on your helmet and your Kevlar and all that kind of stuff.
02:35:33.820
the Holy Spirit drove him in the original language to the wilderness to be tempted by Satan.
02:35:58.620
bow down before me and I'll give you the nations of the world.
02:36:11.120
So Jesus spent his entire life doing the opposite.
02:36:31.660
Jesus spent his life doing the opposite of those triggers,
02:36:39.860
Just look at your life and look at the places you always fall.
02:36:45.020
And John pioneered a process to get rid of them or to at least subside them.
02:37:03.020
I don't know how long it's like the church is talking about fasting right now.
02:37:09.620
if I was in the wilderness and Satan was tempting me,
02:37:21.300
I think I'm going to start with what Laura Baker was talking about.
02:37:35.060
like an intermittent fast where like there's a short window of time during the day where I'll eat,
02:38:03.220
there's been times where I've come out of here,
02:38:07.320
and now I have a window of an hour or so to eat dinner.
02:38:14.960
We'll do the 23 hours off one hour on do that for three days.
02:38:19.440
And then I'll just shorten the window after that.
02:38:30.140
this kind only comes out through prayer and fasting,
02:38:40.260
I heard it doesn't count if the coffee's black.
02:38:49.000
Like it's not bulletproof coffee when I do something,
02:39:17.640
these are all great tools for people that are starting to come to the realization that,
02:39:22.060
something is a riot and that Jesus Christ might be real.
02:39:26.980
when he said these come out with fasting and prayer,
02:39:31.780
I usually look at people that I feel like you're not doing a food fast.
02:39:40.540
Like maybe these type of demons don't come out with maybe food fasting,
02:39:59.940
I've been scrolling Instagram for like 20 minutes.
02:40:21.660
people just talking about like this thing where they got really,
02:40:25.700
and it was just that doctors weren't diagnosing it.
02:40:27.960
And then it turned out to be this horrifying thing.
02:40:39.180
a three pound Hershey bar and I've eaten 75% of it.
02:40:43.600
You have no idea how much chocolate I can eat in one day.
02:41:04.380
You can become a member there and get other exclusive content.
02:41:21.660
I read everything and decide if you want to make the financial commitment
02:41:30.680
There are going to be videos and be written material.
02:41:34.080
a counseling sessions with myself and John as part of it.
02:41:36.960
So it's just going to make you like a Delta force level warrior.
02:41:52.120
You also can be a part of our monthly Bible study where you,
02:41:58.000
So the purpose of the Jehovah story Bible study is to increase your
02:42:15.260
you can still go in and watch everything we've done so far this year.
02:42:34.240
you can register for it now to start getting information.
02:42:42.160
I know what happens when we don't talk for a while.
