00:01:37.000Now, before we get into you wanting to start a bad breath clinic to help people with different varieties of bad breath, why don't we hand over this process to the infinite and limitless power for all life?
00:03:01.000Speaking of John the Baptist, he went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it's written in the book.
00:03:11.000Of the words of Isaiah the prophet, a voice of one calling in the wilderness, prepare the way for the Lord, make straight the paths for him.
00:03:19.000Every valley shall be filled, every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low, the crooked roads shall become straight, the rough way smooth.
00:03:32.000My country, the UK, in total chaos, division everywhere, it seems, fear and divisiveness, the defining, dark and Dissonant melodies of our day, which is such a thing as a dissonant melody.
00:05:20.000You had a state before you were flesh, and you had a state, you have a state after you are flesh.
00:05:26.000In the beginning, it was the Word, and the Word was God, and the Word was with God.
00:05:32.000Jesus, you've already lived all this, and I pray, you know, me and my wife before we head to the United Kingdom to SE1 for a trial in South East London.
00:05:45.000I pray for miraculous resolutions to appear between the discontented people of my land when it comes to the challenge of migration, which it seems is clearly a defining issue.
00:05:57.000May those that lead respect the will of those that built Britain, the British people themselves, under your guidance, God.
00:06:06.000May the British people be open hearted and full of love because we know that you are a God of love, God of truth, and a God of love, and a God of life, Lord.
00:06:15.000We're going back there to participate in a judiciary process that cannot even exist, Lord, unless there are such things as truth and justice.
00:06:25.000We pray for truth and justice for all the people.
00:06:28.000For all the people that are in prison right now, whether there's the people that are in jail that have been wrongly imprisoned or people in jail that have been convicted of crimes that they have committed, Lord, we pray for the victims of crimes.
00:06:39.000Pray for the victims of the many rape gangs in the United Kingdom right now.
00:06:45.000We pray for people that have been raped by anyone or assaulted by anyone.
00:06:49.000We pray for peace for those that have survived this abuse.
00:06:52.000Abuse I understand very well because I myself was abused as a kid, huh?
00:07:31.000His mum, Robin, were in a car accident.
00:07:34.000I pray for a healthy and speedy recovery.
00:07:36.000And I pray for all those watching this that are suffering their own trials, their own challenges, because we're always before your throne, Lord Jesus Christ.
00:07:48.000Everybody is every leader, every ruler, every king, every dissident, every criminal.
00:07:55.000As you said, Jesus, in your earthly life, prostitutes and tax collectors are going to heaven.
00:08:02.000Before the people that think they know the law, the Pharisees, because even though many people were disobedient, and I myself was disobedient, and I'm a broken sinner, sin being being out of the frequency, different from vice, vice as you can hear when you're held in the grip of sin.
00:08:23.000Lord, let us hear your true melody, not the distraction and cacophony of vessels of injustice and deception and lies.
00:08:32.000Truly, Lord, I believe that the construct of the state and global bureaucracies and media are tools of the enemy, of the empire, of the fallen one that seek to hide your glory.
00:08:44.000But we know we fight from victory and that we attack the very gates of hell, Lord.
00:09:20.000Now, I've been in DC, so that's what's been on my mind having been in Washington, DC, at the heart of power, doing things with the Maha movement, near and around that great man, my beloved friend, but beyond a friend, really, Secretary Kennedy, our dearly loved, beloved Dr. Oz, great teachers and leaders, really great, wonderful men, and met a lot of good people there.
00:09:48.000But when you're around DC, when you're around political power, you see what it does to people, you see what worldly power does.
00:09:53.000I was thinking again of the example of Daniel, who, under four different empires, Nebuchadnezzar, his son, Belshazzar, were two empires, but four different kings, Darius, and whoever the last one was, managed, he just focused the same way and worshipped the same God the whole time.
00:10:20.000Yeah, doing what you're there to do, respecting, honouring the occasion, but not being in any way.
00:10:28.000Impressed by the stuff that's not for you.
00:10:34.000One of the great things that's happened, Laura, since our son was born with the challenges that have brought us closer together and since these sort of harmful, hurtful, untrue media generated allegations is that I've been crushed.
00:12:44.000And the way I described it to my mate Carl later was, I could tell with him there's nothing you could say to him that would knock him off his game.0.98
00:12:50.000There's nothing you could say like, oh my God, some skinheads are smashing your car up, mate.
00:12:56.000Like, nothing would titillate him or stimulate him out of the presence of God.
00:13:00.000He, whilst not a Christian, is exhibiting what I consider a B, and let us know in the comments and chat if you agree with this the primary attribute of holiness, the presence of God and the absence of self, to be with God always.0.70
00:13:15.000And then how much distraction and disruption can you tolerate before you let go of God's hand and come back to the world?0.88
00:14:28.000In BC, we also went to the Bible Museum and we saw the Megiddo Mosaic, which is the earliest known Christian church dating from around 200 AD prior to the Nicene Creed, meaning before Christianity was the state religion of Rome.
00:14:51.000A Roman centurion, the mosaic indicates, was already Christian.
00:14:56.000Like the centurion that came to our Lord in, I'm not sure which gospel, but it says, like, help out my kid, will you, or help out my servant.
00:15:04.000And there are four women honored in this mosaic as well.
00:16:04.000He explained the following that in the Greek, there it says, Christ is Messiah.
00:16:14.000I can't remember the Greek, obviously, but it says Christ is Messiah.
00:16:18.000So it's the earliest artifact, archaeological artifact, I think.
00:16:24.000It's a significant early artifact for the divinity of Christ rather than, oh, he's just a really smart man, a nice teacher, and an all round good egg.
00:16:32.000No, what's happened is that inconceivably and ridiculously, God has come to earth.
00:16:37.000The creator of the simulation has stepped into the simulation.
00:16:57.000Two, because of the four female martyrs showing that even the early Christian church is meant to be a family inclusive of everybody, no one excluded race, nation.
00:17:06.000As it says in Isaiah, the nations are a drop in the bucket.
00:17:08.000Government must rest on his shoulders, whether that's the government of your own life or the government of your country.
00:17:13.000If it's not being guided by divine principle, then it's going to be guided by what?
00:17:23.000In the end, what we have seen is that human beings will reason anything.
00:17:27.000Hannah Arendt's beautiful phrase, the banality of evil, somehow encompasses all that we learned in that dreadful and dark period that human beings will do anything if they can reason it.
00:17:40.000I can almost imagine a detractor right now watching this say people are never happier committing violence than when they're committing it in the name of the Lord or Allah or whatever they consider to be God.
00:18:29.000Look at him and study him, then he's an example of what can happen if you have a singular vision.
00:18:36.000But what I'm saying is, there ain't no treasure here.
00:18:40.000Like it says in Matthew, why worry about storing up treasure down here that's going to get eaten by moths and worms, treasure in heaven?
00:18:47.000People think that's that kind of trade off that Christianity is tricking you into shutting your mouth slave mentality so that real powerful people can get on with controlling the material world.
00:19:40.000I mean, they're sampling the Noah's Ark hunters, as they're called here, testing samples from the famous boat shaped formation in Turkey to see if they show the biblical vessel buried there.
00:19:53.000But two researchers tried to answer this question in 96.
00:19:55.000So obviously, yeah, it's not the first time they found it, but they've gone back to the site.
00:19:59.000An international team of archaeologists, this is in Turkey, archaeologists, geologists, and soil scientists started drilling into the Durapinar formation last week.
00:20:11.000They're hoping the samples they collected from the structure are wood to disprove those that believe it is just completely a natural rock formation.
00:20:20.000This was the conclusion that the geologist Lawrence Jean Collins and arc researcher David Franklin Fasshold came to three decades ago.
00:20:28.000Evidence from microscopic studies and photoanalysis demonstrates that the supposed arc, this is quite a long word, near Dogubayazit, is a completely natural rock formation, they have said in their study.
00:20:40.000It cannot have been Noah's Ark, nor even a man made model.
00:20:44.000But they're really, this new batch of research is they're absolutely convinced it is.
00:21:33.000I could have it was like I couldn't stop.
00:21:35.000I was like, you know, because it goes on and on anyway.
00:21:38.000Um, I think I must have used chat or something to look at what those measurements would be in relation to now.
00:21:43.000And I can't remember exactly what the study was, but it came back saying something about.
00:21:47.000Several football stadiums or something.
00:21:49.000Anyway, I'm just interested in it because if, for example, that is the Noah's Ark, it's going to really blow the minds of many a scientist.
00:22:01.000What could ever verify that it was, oh my word, that's Noah's Ark?
00:22:06.000What could they discover that make you go, that make you go, oh, that's Noah's Ark, that?
00:22:10.000Well, what they're going to do is they're presumably going to use the measurements and they're going to draw and they're going to find the wood and they'll be able to track the age of the wood.
00:22:24.000Well, because then it really, really, really makes it real, like a huge thing.
00:22:30.000Noah's Ark, I know it's real, but it's almost like it brings it to the people that would otherwise think it is just a children's story.
00:22:44.000Let us know in the comments and chat what you think about that.
00:22:47.000My position is I sort of don't care because, well, I mean, I'm interested.
00:22:52.000If someone went, that's actually Noah's Ark, or if we were to go to.
00:22:55.000Uh, Jerusalem, yeah, and people went like this is where, like, when one time Jeff Cavins, hello, I'm Jeff Cavins, yeah, he's a brilliant Catholic um teacher.
00:23:06.000He he could go, Russell, I'm in the upper room now in Jerusalem, it's a replica, you know, but then I'm on the Mount of Olives and I'm praying for you.
00:23:14.000Like, I really enjoyed, wow, these are real places, or like, yeah, Jordan or whatever, yeah.
00:23:18.000But what I think is that, um, the cistern that Joseph was in, if someone went, that's the cistern that Joseph was in, or this is where we think.
00:24:30.000Anyway, Poetics of Space, so by Gaston Bachelard.
00:24:36.000What it is, is it's the idea that that has the history of that.
00:24:41.000That has the memory of it, the history of it.
00:24:44.000The idea that when you, you know, we haven't been to Jerusalem, but I bet if we go to Jerusalem, we're going to be in awe constantly at the idea that it holds the space itself, holds the essence of the memory of the real thing.
00:25:01.000In the same way that your body might hold on to a trauma.
00:25:44.000And of course, it would be fascinating worse.
00:25:46.000Things like that happen, and sometimes I read things where I go, We've analyzed the material on the Turin shroud, like our beloved friend Jeremiah Johnson.
00:25:55.000He's all about it, like you know, like he sort of will show, This is what the crown of thorns would look like, and this is what, but the thing is, is I'm interested in the mystery, the present mystery, and like I don't know how we would conceptualize Noah's Ark.
00:26:11.000I don't know that these weren't gene samples that were being gathered in Pepsi dishes, because we're dealing with the supernatural being described.
00:26:19.000By a contemporary Judean language or Mesopotamian language or proto Sinai and proto Canaanite and Mesopotamian mythology converted into Hebrew mythology.
00:26:33.000But the whole thing is the code of the Lord, is the presence of the Lord, is the myth.
00:26:39.000Now, the thing is, Laura, my darling, we don't need to look very far to encounter the problem of verification when it comes to Christ because the gospels themselves.
00:26:52.000The disciples with whom I strongly identify, on Monday, he's feeding the 5,000.
00:27:39.000And I feel like I tried to look up afterwards.
00:27:42.000I mean, I like that memorabilia, but that's indeed, that's part of my point about DC to get tangential.0.93
00:27:48.000They say politics is show business for ugly people.
00:27:52.000When you're in the Hollywood or the entertainment industry and everyone's schmoozing at a do, you know it don't really matter because entertainment is, other than possibly the soft propaganda wing for the empire to bring about sort of notions of individualism and casual erotica.
00:28:06.000Aside from that, it's meaningless anyway.
00:28:50.000Yeah, like even, you'll always look at, even in the, whether it's the hospital or whether it's anywhere, you'll think, but why are they asking that?
00:29:00.000And when you say something about, yeah, I mean, to some degree, we both prepared for that with childbirth and the questions you're meant to ask to stay in the present.
00:29:11.000By preparing for the birth of our first child.
00:29:12.000Yes, and then knowing how to ask the right questions that basically keep you completely present and that you don't just get carried on the winds of whoever the professional is that's there.
00:29:29.000But in that event, I suppose the one thing you could say is that, well, people will be in that event socializing, meeting people they wouldn't otherwise have met, then it spreads the word.
00:29:40.000And some people, I'm just trying to think about, because I agree with you at things like probably a bar.
00:29:47.000It's always a challenging thing, isn't it?
00:29:49.000That the idea that you're there, it lightens the mood, is what it does, doesn't it?
00:29:54.000Having a bar at an event or it brings people able to get a drink and a bit more confident meeting someone talking about something they're passionate about.
00:30:01.000You're obviously in recovery, so it's Different throughout the Old Testament, there is language around you have forgotten your first love.
00:30:08.000I made you, I made you to love me, but you went off.
00:30:10.000And it, like in books like Ezekiel and Isaiah, and I think it points in Jeremiah, it uses a language and Hosea, it uses a language of you and the Psalms.0.99
00:30:18.000You went off with a prostitute, you went and hoard yourself.0.99
00:30:20.000I made you to love me, and you went off and hoard yourself.1.00
00:30:24.000Now, at any moment, I think you should be this doesn't mean that you become joyless, by the way.
00:30:27.000I love play, oh, yeah, I love silliness, I even love profanity.
00:30:41.000I mean that what that means to me is that your relationship with Jesus will come to you in the same way that you could go through excavating layers of language.
00:30:50.000You can do the same with images because I see him talking to me because I met him through my dog.
00:30:56.000And some might see that as somewhat sacrilegious that I can't appreciate the love of Christ dying on the cross 2,025 years ago or whatever it would be, plus those three, et cetera.
00:31:07.000But I mean to say, I know Bear would die for me.
00:31:11.000And like I continue to recognize Christ through Bear because Bear is a non human.
00:31:16.000I know Christ is fully human, fully God, but that, you know, compounded that amounts to not human.
00:31:21.000Like that in the wordless, silent intimacy that I have with Bear, I see in the same way that the word dog is not a dog or the word apple is not an apple.
00:31:33.000I see and feel, oh my word, that's what you mean.
00:31:55.000And when you bar your heart, harden your heart against that, or when you engage in anything else, when you sort of say, you know, I like, you know, whether it's your love of West Ham United or a pair of new booties, it should be that you are loving God, you are revering God, or when you are making love, or when you are eating a meal, or when you're making a podcast with your wife, it's always, always about Him.
00:32:16.000The problem I've always had is, It's always, always been about me, which is 100% the wrong direction.
00:32:22.000But once you flip the charge, everything is different.
00:32:26.000So the reason I'm saying that about what I'm saying is, I don't care.
00:32:31.000I believe in the thing that matters that Jesus Christ died for me and he rose again.
00:32:36.000And if you don't know that, then you're going to live in this world trying to make it work for you and it won't work because, and the other key thing is it's controlled by evil.
00:32:47.000And not like, you know, there's the odd evil person, watch out, someone might move into your neighborhood.
00:32:51.000The systems themselves are fundamentally evil.
00:32:54.000That's not to say everyone that works in media is evil.
00:32:57.000There are millions of people, not millions, some that I love that work in media, or everyone in government is evil, or everyone in any picket institution is evil.
00:33:05.000No, the enemy is quicker and smarter than that.
00:33:08.000The general propensity of those institutions is to lacquer over the holy creation and ever present God with a simulacrum of the devil's kingdom.
00:33:20.000So that you're always getting distracted in the worship of something else.
00:34:02.000You know, like there are so many examples, Laura, that people can't tell the truth about the causal link between vaccine and autism for reasons that amount to profit and initially, but are traceable back to something far darker than that.
00:35:26.000It's funny that everyone, you know, is talking in that way now.
00:35:29.000Certainly the people we, that are in our, Sort of radius, but like I sometimes think with the methylene blue, the methylene blue bothers me because it dyes everything.
00:35:43.000Look, there's things I do that I just think, oh, I don't know.
00:35:47.000I mean, I know that some people feel really good after they've taken it.
00:36:39.000I can't believe I suggested this actually sometimes.
00:36:41.000I think, especially when it's the weeks where we're trying to really fit it into a busy week, when it's like, oh my gosh, how are we going to find the time?
00:36:48.000Because I upload it and stuff, and I know that it has to be a window.
00:36:52.000But I really feel driven to do it because of the feeling of it being time for us.
00:36:59.000It's contemplation, it offers good correspondence with people in the outside world beyond our brains and this porch.
00:37:10.000So, yeah, thank you as well for finding the inspiration in me suggesting something and actually making it happen.
00:37:26.000We, of course, won't be talking about the trial directly out of respect for the people participating on all sides and doing our best to ensure that justice and truth, or as it said in that reading, comes out.
00:37:43.000No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed.
00:37:46.000Instead, they put it on a stand so that those who come in can see the light, for there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed and nothing concealed that will not be known.
00:40:08.000Then you better have to keep your eyes on him.
00:40:10.000But as Jake reminded me the other day, even if you take your eyes off him and start to drown, like, whoa, I'm losing it, he'll reach in with his hand and he'll pull you back out again.
00:40:28.000Everyone must learn to have a relationship with Christ.
00:40:32.000Christ, if you know, we could sit and hear what Christ is, but you might consider the ultimate principle that human beings can be godly and holy.
00:40:42.000And Jamie Winchick does such mouthful work at bringing that message to the Muslim community.
00:40:47.000And I was with some of my friends who do work at bringing communities together there in DC.0.84
00:40:54.000So we chatted about the Ethiopian Bible.
00:40:56.000And I met some Muslims who said, and from their perspective, they honor our Lord and Savior, the Son of God, the Living Messiah, Jesus Christ, as a prophet, a high prophet, and say that God is the womb and Jesus is the umbilical cord in their mindset.
00:42:40.000At Emily's Blunt 22, I admire your joint decision to be yourselves while you're at home filming this and allowing Russell to come dressed without a shirt if he wants to, as he normally would if the cameras were not recording.
00:42:54.000Being yourself is simple and it's easiest.
00:43:13.000One of my great teachers, Jimmy, he makes TV programs and like he got a lot of complaints from one of the TV shows that he made.
00:43:21.000And like he was engaging with someone, like about, I don't know, something that said, it might even have been blasphemous for all I know.
00:43:28.000But, like, he was engaged with a person who's like, you know, well, why don't you know, like, he had an exchange with the complaining viewer?
00:43:37.000Now, what I'm sending you is this is like a place where you can learn basket weaving, and this is a place where you can learn patchwork because you plainly need a hobby.
00:48:06.000Because we talked about yoga last week and whether you should or shouldn't do it as a Christian.0.89
00:48:11.000At Petersburg Tug 6633, I heard Christians talk about yoga for years and always retorted with a story from the Bible.0.88
00:48:18.000Then I found out that every position was in worship to a Hindi god and I had to stop.0.99
00:48:23.000I've been angry for nine years, but I'd rather not.0.99
00:48:27.000So, as to show my greater honor and worshipped God.
00:48:31.000Oh, so they've been angry because the person has been angry because of worshipping God, doesn't want to do yoga anymore, and has been angry for nine years.
00:48:38.000I guess you could say I was jealous for God.
00:48:41.000Which is an interesting point of view.
00:49:15.000This is Henry Nouwen's Life of the Beloved.
00:49:17.000I believe deeply that all the good things our world has to offer are yours to enjoy, but you can enjoy them truly only when you can acknowledge them as affirmations of the truth that you are the beloved of God.
00:49:28.000That truth will set you free to receive the beauty of nature and culture in gratitude as a sign of your belovedness.
00:49:35.000It says here the world is evil only when you become its slave.
00:49:40.000That truth will allow you to receive the gifts you receive from your society and celebrate life.
00:49:45.000But that truth will also allow you to let go of what distracts you, confuses you, and puts you in, puts in jeopardy the life of the spirit within you.
00:49:54.000Think of yourself as having been sent into the world, a way of seeing yourself that is possible if you truly believe that you were loved before the world began, a perception of yourself that calls for a true leap of faith.
00:50:07.000As long as you live in the world, yielding to its enormous pressures to prove yourself and to what, prove to yourself and to others that you are somebody and knowing from the beginning that you will lose in the end.
00:50:18.000Your life can be scarcely more than a long struggle for survival.
00:50:22.000If, however, you really want to live in the world, you cannot look to the world itself as the source of that life.
00:50:27.000The world and its strategies may help you to survive for a long time, but they cannot help you live because the world is not the source, even of its own life, let alone yours.
00:50:41.000Now, actually, I'm going to ask you to close this out by reading this famous passage from Corinthians that many people have read at weddings.
00:50:49.000Because There's an exercise where you're meant to say your own name, which I did with our girls actually quite recently, when it comes to the love, how it describes love.
00:51:42.000Love is indispensable, and yet I will show you the most excellent way.
00:51:47.000If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
00:51:56.000If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I can have faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
00:52:05.000If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
00:55:31.000And in suffering, I found Jesus Christ, Son of God.
00:55:36.000I pray for anyone watching this that's having a difficult time.
00:55:39.000I pray that we will get the opportunity to fulfill our commission to bring His holy word to as many people as possible, to serve the community, to look after the poor and the widows, to look after people incarcerated.
00:55:49.000Lord Jesus Christ, I would rather be in jail with you than anywhere else without you.
00:55:54.000Lord, give me the courage to be back in our country and show us what you want of us.
00:56:06.000Thank you that we can use this magnificent technology, not just to create AI and to control people through digital ID and to create the enemy's kingdom, where the dependency that ought to be yours by right and by creation, Lord, and the worship that ought to be yours by right and creation is given to all these false idols and false gods and false machines of imprisonment and incarceration.
00:56:24.000I'm talking about government and large corporations, not the beautiful human beings within them.
00:56:28.000Talking about the systems themselves, which are tools of the enemy, Lord God.
00:56:36.000Help us to fight against the rebellion in the spiritual realm and the battles here on this one called For We Fight Not Against Flesh, but Against Spiritual Powers.
00:56:47.000And in the heavenly realms, we fight against rulers and kings that misuse their power.
