When you pray, don't be as the hypocrites are. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corner of the streets that they may be seen in men. Verily, I say unto you, they have their reward.

straight bible sermon on the mount episode 14 we're in matthew 6 verses 5 through 8 today but
00:01:37.560
very special happy birthday to auntie jen jen today my little sister june 16 which is a cool
00:01:42.440
day because cali schools usually end on june 16 too so it's just like a really rad day
00:01:46.320
happy birthday uh so here we go matthew 6 uh chapter 6 verses 5 through 8 we did 5 and 6 last
00:01:55.460
week let's just kind of read it as a recap and when you pray you shall not be as the hypocrites
00:01:59.600
are. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corner of the streets
0.57
00:02:03.800
that they may be seen in men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.
00:02:08.580
So we talked about last week, we're talking about prayer. We're expected to pray.
00:02:12.440
We're expected to not do it as a hypocrite or as an actor. And there's a reward that comes along
00:02:17.840
with it. But you, when you pray, enter into your closet. And when you shut your door, pray to your
00:02:22.440
father, which is in secret. And your father, which sees in secret, shall reward the openly. So we're
00:02:27.220
talking about secret prayer and we talked last week about verse six when it says but thou right
00:02:31.640
we said just get used to that if you're going to live the christian life get used to like oh
00:02:35.300
everything looks like this but you different different something different verse seven but
00:02:41.460
when you pray use not vain repetitions as the heathen do or those who don't know god when you
00:02:46.980
pray use not vain repetitions as people who don't know god do for they think that they shall be
00:02:52.480
heard for their much speaking be not you therefore like unto them for your father knows what things
00:02:59.000
you have need of before you ask him all right so a little recap don't praise the pretenders or the
00:03:05.280
actors right like is there anything more offensive than that if god gives you direct access to him
00:03:10.340
and then you use that direct access to like look cool to other people for what you're saying is
00:03:16.040
is there anything more offensive than that could we compare it to putting a video camera in your
00:03:20.920
room where you have intimate time with your wife. Yeah. Yeah. It's like only fans for God. That's,
00:03:26.340
I mean, I could say that's, that's really what it would be comparable to. He's saying you have
00:03:30.340
this special secret thing with me and somehow you're using it for other people to watch that
00:03:36.060
for other people to hear. This is between me and you, this is the special intimate thing between
00:03:40.420
us. You have access to the creator of the universe. That's what you want to use it for.
00:03:44.280
It's very telling. That's very telling if people would do that, you know, like would God ever say
00:03:48.800
to you like hey bobby who are you talking to like imagine you're praying and god's in heaven it
00:03:54.940
sounds cool but god's like bobby who are you who are you talking to you're talking to me or you're
00:03:59.440
talking to the crowd because sometimes it sounds like that when you hear a prayer at church you're
00:04:02.900
just like well who's the guy talking to is he saying that to god that doesn't sound like something
00:04:06.360
you'd say to god sounds like something you'd say to the crowd but it just feels weird it gets weird
00:04:10.840
man you're like talking over god to the people behind him yeah it's like you're an actor it's
00:04:15.400
what he says don't praise the actors do don't praise the pretenders do it's like you're pretending
00:04:19.880
it's like you're playing this part of an actor praying to god it's like no no don't do that
00:04:25.500
just pray to god just pray to god so keep your secret life secret between you and god and when
00:04:30.380
you do this your light will shine right we did that in a previous episode uh 514 uh let your
00:04:36.440
light shine before men um you're the light of the world right um so so as you do that as you get
00:04:43.680
alone with God, boom, your light's going to shine. You don't have to come up with creative ways to
00:04:47.560
make your light shine. If you want to do the canned food drive, that's cool. You want to do the spaghetti
00:04:51.360
dinner, the fish fry on Fridays. That's cool too. But like, you don't have to come up with creative
00:04:55.660
ways. You just get alone with God and your light's going to shine. You don't have, you don't have to
00:04:59.560
make it shine. Okay. So, uh, so when he says in verse six, he shall reward the openly. What is
00:05:05.820
that? That's an answer, right? He'll answer you. Like this is a big part of prayer too, is that
00:05:10.500
it's communication. We said that last week, like in its most simple definition, prayer is
00:05:15.380
communication with God. So there's an answer. There's an answer. You're, you're saying things
00:05:19.760
to God. He's answering. It has to be a back and forth conversation, right? Um, you're communicating
00:05:27.880
to him. He's communicating back to you. Let's, let's pull up Hebrews. If we can look at Hebrews
00:05:32.360
11, one, I know we read one through six, uh, but we're just going to condense it a little bit this
00:05:38.080
week. We're just going to read Hebrews 11, verse 1, and then we can read verse 6. We don't have
00:05:43.660
to read all the way straight through, but we can just look at that real quick. You guys all love
00:05:52.960
this passage. We pull it up quite a bit. I feel like this passage comes into almost every study,
00:05:57.540
really. Okay. Now, faith is the substance that things hoped for, the evidence of things not
00:06:04.520
seen right so we so we have an evidence right we have a substance it's an actual thing it's not just
00:06:11.720
believing in stuff in the la la la let's go all the way to verse six
00:06:18.520
but without faith it is impossible to please him for he that cometh to god must believe that he
00:06:23.720
is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him right so it's saying the
00:06:27.960
same thing jesus is saying he'll reward you openly and now paul or whoever the writer is
00:06:33.960
this in the Hebrew letter, we don't have to get into all that, is saying he's a rewarder of them
00:06:39.420
who diligently seek him. Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
00:06:43.600
things not seen. But without faith, it's impossible to please God. For he that comes to God must
00:06:48.600
believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him, right? So it's
00:06:54.440
communication. It's back and forth, right? It's you're talking to God. God's responding to you.
00:06:59.540
that's actually happening. Like, I don't know. I think when you come to terms with that, there's
00:07:04.200
not really like a greater rush in the universe. Some of us who used to be junkies, we kind of
00:07:07.620
like a rush, you know, we like an adrenaline rush or maybe the so-called like dopamine rush,
00:07:12.220
or there's somehow like this rush you get from things in life. And that's what we chase if we're
00:07:16.260
junkies, right? We're like chasing this rush. And so I'm not trying to be like crude or compare it
00:07:21.240
to that. Cause there's, there is no comparison to communicating with God. I'm just simply saying
00:07:25.100
it's like the greatest rush you'll ever get. And that's why when you start to realize your
00:07:28.960
communicating with God, that there's not just you saying things out into the air, but that there's
00:07:33.540
a back and forth. All the other stuff of the world kind of loses its luster. It all kind of loses its
00:07:38.600
shine. Everything doesn't shine so much in the natural realm. Like once you start to have that,
00:07:43.080
you kind of live for that. You kind of get excited to get up in the morning, get a little cup of
00:07:47.120
coffee, get in the scripture and do some back and forth with God. There's like, there's a rush in
00:07:51.300
that. It's for me. All right. So verse seven says, don't act stupid when you pray. Nope. Sorry. Not
00:07:58.940
Hebrews back, back to Matthew. That's a Matthew six. We're back to Matthew six and it's verse
1.00
00:08:05.760
seven. It says, when you pray, don't act stupid, right? Don't insult God, right? Talk the way you
0.99
00:08:15.920
talk and listen the way you listen right um sometimes people sometimes people ask they say
00:08:21.600
well how does god talk well he he talks how you listen right we read that passage last week
00:08:26.180
he said i know my sheep and my sheep know my voice so like to me he doesn't speak in chinese but but
00:08:31.860
another guy he talks in chinese to him because that because that's how he hears right some people
00:08:37.100
like maybe the younger people today especially get offended like real easy if you say a stern
00:08:41.600
thing to them so god he talks to them in a way they can understand more gentle yeah he talks in
00:08:46.860
a way that some of us don't mind a stern thing especially from god because we're saying like hey
00:08:51.000
i trust you with everything so whatever you got to say say it like i'm like i'm open right so he
00:08:56.160
so he talks in a voice that you can hear but you have to cultivate it you have to cultivate it you
00:09:00.920
have to get used to that communication with god but what he's saying here when he's saying don't
00:09:05.240
act stupid he's saying uh he's saying don't use vain repetitions as the heathen do and i think
00:09:14.240
people um have a hard time with this because i don't think people really have come to terms with
0.99
00:09:21.480
the fact that they are talking to the creator of the universe i i think that's really where the
00:09:25.460
issue's at so so that maybe they get comfortable with vain repetitions or maybe they get comfortable
00:09:30.100
just saying things they think they're supposed to say as opposed to being like no i'm i'm talking
00:09:35.180
to the creator of the universe i can say anything i want so like imagine somebody comes to the
00:09:39.040
register and they're like i'll take a large chop mocha i'll take a large chop mocha i'll take a
00:09:43.380
large chop mocha i'll take a large chop mocha like at some point you're gonna want to slap them
0.70
00:09:47.380
do you see what i'm saying like why would why would we do that with god why would we do this
00:09:52.140
thing we talked about last week about like saying prayers is much different than praying and i think
00:09:57.480
maybe somehow in the culture people have got caught up in like saying prayers that it's like
00:10:02.040
their duty to, no, this is a person you are engaging with. You're engaging with God. There's
00:10:08.700
a back and forth communication as ridiculous as it would be to say, I'll take a large hot mocha.
0.82
00:10:13.060
I'll take a large hot mocha. I'll take a large hot mocha. It's that ridiculous. If you're just
00:10:16.960
using vain repetitions and he's, he categorizes that. He says the people that do that, those are
00:10:21.440
the people that don't know God. And remember, everything comes back to that. Everything comes
00:10:26.020
back to knowing God communicating with God praying is the best way to learn how to pray right like
00:10:33.280
this you can't really learn this in cemetery school I don't even think they try to teach it
00:10:36.900
but I don't know I've never been there maybe they do try to teach you how to pray I don't know I
00:10:40.600
don't know how that would go I can't imagine like the way I pray now it's another person like telling
00:10:45.760
me how to do it like that I can't imagine that but like I think you just have to pray it's like
00:10:51.340
walking like breathing like it's it you just got to do it the only way to learn how to do it is to
00:10:57.720
do it you just got to start doing it just start praying just start communicating with god um
00:11:03.120
so let's just jump around a little bit and uh let's just look at some passages of scripture
00:11:09.680
that again i know we said this last week like there's no way we're going to do a complete
00:11:14.880
like oh there's great there's great books on prayer e.m bounds anything from e.m bounds
00:11:20.700
on prayer is fire uh alexander white i think the name of the book is teaches how to pray
00:11:26.900
fire so there so like there's dude to have like like ian bound specifically like spent his life
00:11:32.100
writing books on prayer so we're not going to do this topic like any justice this is where it
00:11:38.260
begins a new home for unexpected combinations city and saint george's two of london's leading
00:11:45.040
universities coming together a place for theater and science business and healthcare where you can
00:11:51.840
explore the world of law technology or medicine and see where it takes you together leads to more
00:11:58.620
ideas more perspectives and more possibilities introducing city saint george's university of
00:12:05.000
london together we're more in a study or two trying to communicate like what prayer is and
00:12:11.940
how to pray we're just kind of like going through some passages and trying to make people hungry to
00:12:16.900
pray is really what we're doing which is really what we do in all our bible studies is try to
00:12:20.720
make people hungry to read the bible more and to know god more and so that's what we're doing here
00:12:24.680
so we're just going to go through some things but this is also like a sermon on the mount study so
00:12:28.920
we're covering a lot of things like a vast amount of topics yeah yeah and so we might just be
00:12:37.040
scratching the surface on several of these. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Jeremiah 33, 3.
00:12:49.440
The Pentecostals love this passage. This one, this one was big when I was in the Pentecostal
00:12:55.380
game. Call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou
00:12:59.940
knowest not. Yeah. So prayer gives you eyes to see God is really what that's saying, man.
00:13:04.580
is he's saying, call unto me, call unto me and I'll answer you. Right. That, that's the point
00:13:09.080
we keep trying to make this communication, this back and forth. So if you want God to answer you,
00:13:13.660
he says how to do it. Call unto him, call unto him and he'll answer you and show you. Can we
00:13:19.080
see it again? Yeah. Call unto me and I'll answer you. And here's how he explains it. I'll show you
00:13:25.680
great and mighty things, right? I'll reveal it to you. Uh, like I'll, I'll make you know a thing
00:13:35.220
And so for some people, it may be in a visionary thing.
00:13:38.640
And he may explain things to you in a visionary way
00:14:17.440
And then the response is going to be like the melody,
00:14:19.600
but varying and always give you some different flavor.
00:14:29.380
and then the response to a lot of those phrases will be something different but it's just funny
00:14:34.940
how it's a call it's always a call and always a response that's what that's how you make this
00:14:38.580
this beautiful i just feel like there should be better christian music no no i'm serious because
00:14:46.400
like you're saying that and i'm thinking like oh yeah the chili peppers dude like the guy from the
00:14:50.420
chili peppers are simple they're kind of simple guitar jam but they're profound they're kind of
00:14:54.760
they kind of jam but then you're like oh yeah the chili peppers is like blood sugar butt magic or
00:15:00.040
whatever the thing is that came you know what i mean like they have all these like crazy yeah
00:15:03.580
everything's tied up in the occult man and it's like why come the kingdom of god can't put forth
00:15:09.140
like profound rad music i just i don't know i don't know man it's out there yeah you are all
00:15:15.760
right so let's look at john uh 16 12 through 15 also i like this i like what jesus says here
00:15:23.740
i must have missed a page because i'm you don't have john 16 no
00:15:28.360
it's all right maybe i didn't have it dude this yeah it's a little clunky i actually forgot my
00:15:34.960
bible and my notepad this weekend me and jess went to the beach and i forgot all my stuff
00:15:38.820
which is when i really do all the stuff so it might be a little clunky today but
00:15:44.160
we trust god he's going to guide us through it and make it relevant to people because at the end
00:15:48.500
of the day you could do like some great study oh hey look how cool of a study i did but if it
00:15:51.880
doesn't connect with people because the holy spirit's not engaged in like connecting it to
00:15:55.600
people's hearts then it doesn't matter anyway what scripture are we at john 16 and if we start
00:16:00.040
in uh verse 12 i mean the whole chapter's fire but if we start in verse 12 i like this statement
00:16:07.000
i have yet many things to say unto you but you cannot bear them now
00:16:10.440
you could imagine he could tell us about like this might be off topic i don't care he might
00:16:17.280
of knew about like the tesla coil and like how to get energy like free energy and he might have
00:16:22.040
known all kinds of stuff about all kinds of stuff he's like yeah i can't talk to you guys about that
00:16:25.840
yet i can't talk to you guys about the so-called internet i can't talk to you guys even about like
00:16:31.420
electricity in general like there's all like i know a ton of stuff but i can't like communicate
00:16:35.620
it to you it kind of reminds me of like i know we don't do the book of enoch on straight bible
00:16:39.760
because it's not straight bible but no i don't mind the book you know the idea of uh the the
00:16:44.780
fallen giving human technology it's like yeah i know a lot of stuff but you ain't ready for that
00:16:50.200
so if these guys are going to start pushing this on humanity you could imagine the kind of sin that
00:16:55.200
they're going to do with it right yeah so but just imagine if he knows all that about things of the
00:17:00.440
natural order imagine what things he knows about spirit realm stuff he's like dude i got a ton of
00:17:04.260
stuff to tell you guys but you can't handle it yeah i don't want to get told that i mean i know
00:17:10.440
who had a certain degree, I'm going to get told that he's like, Matt, there was a bunch of stuff
00:17:14.340
I wanted to tell you, but you wouldn't shut up. Like you wouldn't stop doing the other stuff you
00:17:18.100
were doing all the time. You wouldn't get quiet. You wouldn't get alone. You wouldn't pray and fast.
00:17:22.800
You wouldn't do that to the extent that I could have communicated these things to you.
00:17:26.620
So I want to be aware of that. I want to be aware. I don't, I don't, I want that to be a very small
00:17:30.780
category where he says, man, I had a lot to say to you, but I just couldn't. I hope that's a very
00:17:35.560
low category. Okay. I've yet many things to say into you, but you cannot bear them now.
00:17:40.440
so he adapts his teaching to our capacity let's let's just keep it simple let's let's just keep
00:17:44.760
it uh simple as possible though because we could talk about just that verse for like a whole show
00:17:48.540
but uh but that's the main point is like he he adapts his teaching to our capacity what we can
00:17:54.640
contain right like this is like um whenever you hear about these wine skins and new wine and stuff
00:17:59.460
like you like you have to have a wine skin that contained that can contain the new wine so he
00:18:04.040
doesn't just uh pour into our vessel like he has to make the vessel capable of containing first and
00:18:10.260
has to be a new wine skin yeah for new wine yeah or it'll burst because it's a fermentation process
00:18:14.980
like we like we make a house-made honey syrup right uh it's actual honey and it's just a
00:18:20.700
concentrate and if you mix a new honey into an old honey it'll still keep it'll keep fermenting
00:18:27.100
it'll keep fermenting and ultimately it'll end up just bursting a bottle um so it's the same thing
00:18:32.780
like what's the jeremiah passage where he says like your cisterns i don't want to butcher it
00:18:37.720
But there's a rad passage in Jeremiah where he talks about like your cisterns are something about them not being able to contain it.
00:18:45.460
But it's this concept of like if you don't get a lot of rain and you go to hose water stuff in the food forest, you'll see the water just run off because the ground hasn't gotten you.
00:18:54.780
I think in the desert that happens to it rains, but the water just runs off because the ground isn't used to soaking in the water.
00:19:01.700
Like our cistern has to be capable of containing.
00:19:04.360
that's what we say a lot of times in the 501c3 system like if a true move of god happened
00:19:09.040
you it might just bounce off everybody they've been jeremiah 213 for my people for my people
00:19:15.520
have committed two evils they have forsaken me the fountain of the living waters and hewed them out
00:19:20.400
of cisterns broken cisterns that can hold no water that's what i'm saying so okay what's the first
00:19:25.520
part uh my people have committed two evils one they have forsaken me so they've so they've forsaken
0.71
00:19:31.920
god yeah um the fountain of the living waters and hewed them out of cisterns so but worse than that
0.75
00:19:38.520
even though they've forsaken god let's say they try to bring them back they can't their cisterns
00:19:44.060
are made of self oh i see these are self-made cisterns that can't contain we we should have
00:19:49.100
we should have had that ready i should have probably put that in the notes dude he follows
00:19:52.680
up saying they're broken sister yes they can't contain it anyway that's what i say concerns me
00:19:57.860
sometimes in the 501c3 system you get the allergy shot over and over and over and over and it just
00:20:02.900
makes you immune to the real thing yeah so like say you have these cisterns now that just do the
00:20:07.720
thing over and over the monotony of daily life that happens to you in the office happens to you
0.93
00:20:12.700
in a marriage it happens to you in friendships it happens in all the things of life the monotony
00:20:16.900
of things just get old after a while if you don't be on top of it try to make it fresh and new and
00:20:21.880
fun and exciting and keep a sense of adventure your life with god's the same way dude if you
00:20:26.100
just get used to this monotony of just do the thing go on the sunday they do the announcements
00:20:31.240
then they do the songs and the guy gives the speech then like a move of god comes the cisterns
00:20:35.420
can't contain it anyway sorry that was a little much let's go into verse 13 how be it when he
00:20:42.020
the spirit of truth has come he will guide you into all truth right so so he will guide you he's
00:20:49.300
stretching he's growing our capacity first and then filling us with truth i have yet many things
00:20:55.520
to say in you but you cannot bear them now how be it when he the spirit of truth has come he will
00:21:00.040
guide you into all truth so jesus is saying there's some stuff you guys can't understand today
00:21:04.280
but when the holy spirit comes you'll be able to contain more you'll be able to to have more you'll
00:21:09.980
be able to access more you'll have greater capacity i mean we're like brushing on the surface of like
00:21:16.180
verses that could be talked about for like weeks on end for he shall not speak of himself but
00:21:21.160
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will show you things to come, right? So we're
00:21:25.740
back to this idea of he'll show you. God will show you. He'll open your eyes and give you eyes to see
00:21:30.740
about this stuff. He'll show you things to come. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine
00:21:35.740
and shall show it unto you. So that's just how the Godhead operates. Jesus said, I only say,
00:21:40.680
I only do what my father tells me. I only say what I see my father do. And now Jesus is saying
00:21:59.980
So we're just keying in on this concept of like,
00:22:17.200
uh if we go back a couple pages to john 14 was this one in the notes no my bad john 14 okay 20
00:22:25.320
john 14 uh 23 is a is a wild one to like meditate on if you just ever want to like chill out and
00:22:32.280
just meditate on a verse this is like another level of intimacy that we're talking about
00:22:37.800
um and i and i think if more people knew this experience then things would be different in
00:22:43.280
the church, right? It says this, Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man loves me, he'll keep
00:22:54.280
my words, right? We know this, right? The very end of the Sermon on the Mount says, any man who hears
00:22:59.040
these sayings of mine and doeth them, he's like a wise man who built his house on a rock. Any man
00:23:03.520
who hears these sayings of mine and doesn't do it, he's like a foolish man who built his house on the
1.00
00:23:07.140
sand. So you have to keep his sayings. You have to keep his words and you have to live it. If a man
0.99
00:23:12.260
loves me, he'll keep my words. Or you could say, if a man keeps my words, you can see that's a man
00:23:18.600
who loves me. You can say that too. And my father will love him and we will come unto him and make
00:23:23.700
our abode with him. Live in him. God will come and live inside you. That's what I'm saying. This
00:23:34.060
is all like other levels of intimacy. So like when I make these references to like the husband and
00:23:39.800
wife and setting up a camera in the room, I don't think that that's crude or out of touch or not
00:23:45.520
relevant to that conversation. It's the most intimate relationship possible. God will live
00:23:50.760
inside of you. He that loves me not keepeth not my sayings. And the word which you hear is not
00:23:57.840
mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with
00:24:03.720
you. But so Jesus keeps alluding to this concept of like, hey, I'm doing rad stuff right now,
00:24:08.660
but there's something going to come that's going to be on another level, even on a greater level
00:24:12.740
than what's been so far. Because you hear people sometimes say, oh, imagine if you got to walk with
00:24:17.180
Jesus. Imagine if you lived during that time period in that geographic location and you got
00:24:21.020
to walk the earth with Jesus. I think those guys were like, yeah, that was cool, but it was way
00:24:24.740
better when the Holy Spirit came and dwelled inside of us. Because it's what he says. But
00:24:29.260
the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you
00:24:34.620
all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever i have said unto you
00:24:39.100
yeah there's a lot of times in where uh jesus would go off on his own and that's kind of like
00:24:46.180
leaving the apostles by themselves there's no holy spirit and dwelling in them i mean when
00:24:50.600
you're probably with when you're with jesus it was probably awesome but he kind of like snuck off
00:24:56.900
and you know i mean there's a strong there's a strong argument to be said that what we have now
00:25:01.800
is greater than what adam had in the garden i know a lot of people are going to lose it at that
00:25:05.220
statement but adam didn't have god living inside of him at that time there's a strong argument for
00:25:11.040
that i'm not like starting a new denomination on that and if that makes me some follower of
00:25:14.820
somebody i don't i don't know i'm just a bible reader i just know how the internet gets when
00:25:19.140
they're like oh he believes that he must be this or heard it from that guy i'm just a bible reader
00:25:23.380
i'm just a bible reader and i'm like adam had god and he was interacting with him face to face and
00:25:28.660
yeah i think we don't have any concept of what that was like and he had full capacity and use
00:25:32.800
of his body like i think they say we only use 10 of our brain i don't think he was only using 10
00:25:37.120
i think he was using another 90 and so there's a lot of stuff he had it was more rad than what
00:25:40.880
we have today but we have god living inside of us today that would be interesting to bring up
00:25:44.840
we're gonna have hopefully we'll have pastor rick on but he's a big proponent of like holy spirit
00:25:50.200
and he that's like what he when he preaches that's what he talks about a lot be interested
00:25:53.860
to hear his uh perspective on it because i think like if you can hear the holy spirit and god
00:26:00.040
accurately then it's probably maybe it is more profounder because god would be inside of you
00:26:06.000
rather than external to you it's just for adam it was probably much easier to communicate with god
00:26:10.440
because sure they're just talking to him you know it's just i guess about recognizing the voice
00:26:14.880
yeah and he had a capacity like we're talking about capacity right now adam clearly had a
00:26:19.200
capacity way beyond ours so so somebody says no no no what adam had was better that's fair
00:26:24.440
that's a fair statement you're probably right i'm just saying in a certain way god living inside of
00:26:29.140
us is profound but this was a verse that changed my life i know i've talked about it before because
00:26:35.160
because i was just like too stupid to not believe it like i came across this passage and was like
00:26:40.160
okay so the comforter which is the holy ghost whom the father will send in my name he shall
0.91
00:26:45.340
teach you all things i just read and believed it like like thank god i didn't have like letters
00:26:50.880
behind my name and so many years in a classroom for somebody to be able to explain that like oh
00:26:56.080
no no it doesn't actually mean that like i just read that and was like okay i think it means
00:26:59.260
exactly what it says like i'll read passages and then god will explain to me what it what it's
00:27:04.040
saying and then i put it into practice and it seemed to work so i was like huh yeah i would
00:27:09.040
read a passage and i'd say okay what does this mean and then i'd stare at it for a minute and
00:27:13.260
then I think, well, it seems like it means this. And I'd be like, well, that's weird. Am I just
00:27:17.000
telling myself that it says that? And then I would be like, no, I've never really thought that
00:27:21.500
thought before. I've never like, I don't even really use those same words that I just thought
00:27:25.960
that thought with. I don't even use those words, but those, but that makes sense. Like what just
00:27:30.240
happened. And it just took me a while to understand that I was communicating with God while reading
00:27:34.260
the Bible. And it was that exact verse that was doing it was that God promised that. And he does
00:27:39.060
that i was just talking with riley about that i know uh i guess not private anymore but she's
00:27:43.900
going to be moving i guess whoa that's kind of private it's kind of private riley's moving
00:27:47.860
to where i'm not going to say to where that's private i don't know but she's telling me all
00:27:53.980
her plans and i was like slow down you know like she's like i'm gonna do this i'm planning that
00:27:58.600
i was like i think you should just like uh trust in the holy spirit welcome to work with 20 year
00:28:03.960
old girls in the coffee shop no it's great though i think you you attract you attract like like good
00:28:09.560
people because it's great to have a plan but i'm like hey you know that plan could go sideways on
00:28:14.160
step one like you kind of have to be fluid and just trust that you'll know like listen to listen
00:28:20.840
to what it's what's telling you to do well james says that he says like you guys say you know i'm
00:28:25.960
gonna do this i'm gonna do that he he says like you're making all these plans ahead of time and
00:28:29.380
just say yeah god willing god with the lord willing i'll do this or that we don't really
00:28:33.160
know it's good to have a plan but yeah you got to be able to all right we're going to move this way
00:28:36.700
now yeah yeah amen practice that muscle all right so now we're in isaiah 45 starting in verse 5 do
00:28:43.140
we have that in the notes i think so okay all right maybe that's where the uh i might have
00:28:49.400
missed the whole page all right here we go i shouldn't have looked up does tornadoes not
00:29:00.260
happen in other countries is that a real thing i gotta not look up man sparrow is that real
00:29:07.780
wait does tornadoes not happen in other countries i've never heard of a tornado happening in india
00:29:13.400
i don't know i'm just saying okay i gotta not look up dude all right so verse five right yeah
00:29:19.620
i am the lord and there is no one else there is no god beside me yeah let's go i girded thee
00:29:25.860
uh though thou has not known me yeah so i so i did this stuff to you others see what i am in
00:29:31.980
your life but you but you don't even see it like i girded thee like i clothed you like i brought
00:29:36.220
you i put you together i did all this there's no god beside me i did this but you haven't known me
00:29:43.660
so we're gonna try to keep coming back with some key stuff man like knowing god knowing god is what
00:29:48.620
we're talking about uh i girded thee and uh though thou has not known me that they may know
00:29:56.780
from the rising of the sun and from the west that there is none beside me i am the lord and there
00:30:03.140
is none else he goes through a lot to say that i know sometimes people are like oh no he's a god
00:30:08.340
but like god goes through a lot through the scripture actually isaiah is like uh a lot of
00:30:13.260
where the where the times where he says this but this isn't uncommon for god to say i am god only
00:30:17.420
me only me yeah sure there's plenty of lowercase g gods and if you speak in different languages
00:30:21.760
elohim or whatever but like i am god like like the one that i am there's one there's only me
00:30:27.280
to be honest it seems like one of god's like biggest things yeah he's always like he's like
00:30:31.280
yeah well amen think think of the think of the chaos i mean the story of the bible is the chaos
00:30:36.900
of people not recognizing and realizing that yeah you know what i'm saying i think the dude
00:30:41.220
prometheus lens does a good job of saying how like israel goes astray from uppercase g god because
00:30:46.480
they're being shown miracles by other lowercase g gods and they're saying like well which one do
00:30:50.040
we follow like we don't have a grid for that yeah i kind of had like a tense moment with one of the
00:30:54.800
previous guests last week where because he kept on talking about satan's deception and how satan
00:31:00.840
is creating people and i was like he doesn't create like this is a big i don't want to like
00:31:06.540
