Hello everybody, welcome to the Wednesday live stream quite an interesting day as we see that the market take a little tumble and the reason is why is of course drone Powell, so unfortunately Everything must come to pass and you've probably heard this already. This is just what is happening So it looks like as far as like a Fed recap Powell shoots down a March rate cut. That's a funny thing in in the in the markets It seems like everybody is so sure that they are always correct and that there is no definition of Them for ever being wrong and they like this is definitely gonna happen And of course the March rate cut is probably not gonna happen and CMBC did a really good job of Pretty much condensing all the information over the 45 to an hour long Conference that's a drone Powell did and here are the highlights. So you know what is going on? So first up Drone Powell states we're trying to get comfortable and gain confidence that inflation is on a sustainable path down towards 2% And I gotta be honest with you He's doing actually they're doing a pretty reasonable job of actually fighting inflation and not doing the same mistake That's that was led to Volcker Volcker coming in for the Federal Reserve in late 70s as Before his predecessor Burns from the Fed chair had actually dropped our increased rates Then they cut a little bit too soon And of course there was hyperinflation and it led to a lot of different problems into the 70s and the early 80s So, you know, in all honesty not doing too bad And if anybody says like I inflation isn't isn't isn't too out of control Debatable so that's just one piece based on the meeting today I would tell you that I don't think it's likely that the committee will reach a level of confidence by the time of the March meeting to identify March as the time do that What he's saying, of course is the rate cuts and what we get about that that rate cut mentality We took a look at this actually Last week on NFA live matter of fact and it was amazing because the current rate is 525 to 550 and these numbers right here because the next meeting of course is 20th of March 2024 Last when we looked at it. It was like half and half I think it was almost a little bit higher on the 500 to 525 level meaning that they everybody thought that you know Jerome was going to cut and of course all the difference metrics and the polls and the information and and the quantitative analysis always They put that in and say okay. Well if there's going to be a rate cut here That's good for the markets and we're gonna start buying and of course what happens when it doesn't well It goes in reverse. I this is why I like the market sometimes just confused me because I'm like, why do they even try to forecast it? Why don't they just stick around for the long haul and you know see what happens and slowly accumulate like like we do and get out of here and Actually have a reasonable level of profitability just by sticking around and Then as far as like labor goes he states of course if labor if inflation were to surprise by moving back up We would have to respond to that and would be a surprise at this point Basically saying that if there's a problem with as far as like the market's not responding. They of course will start to Not cut rates but raise rates But that would be a surprise he states But I have to tell you that's why we keep our options open and why we're not rushing and that is for sure They have been very even keel as to what they're doing and of course looking at the data Which is what they were going to do anyhow Powell state there's a way to go before a soft landing has been achieved this was the most interesting part to me because You know when we think about These recession points, you know We we hear drone Powell and we hear a lot of pundits say that it's going to be a soft landing And it's actually laughable, you know when we when we think about it, but in all honesty I mean from right now and some people say well, there's always a recession already in recession Well the economic data doesn't point to that right now Even though there are some data points you can say that yes It looks like we are moving towards the recession But as far as like the definition of recession, what if the government wants to say that actually is no We're not in a recession right now So as far as like a soft landing, here's what he say it certainly I'm encouraged and we're encouraged by the progress But we're not declaring victory at all at this point We think we have a ways to go and he pulls it off. Congratulations And then of course he talks about feds needs to see more evidence that falling inflation is sustainable Says Powell and then goes into some other stuff But yeah, it really comes down to this You know if if the inflation rate can actually stay at the level that they wanted to and actually keep decreasing that Magical 2% number than fantastic great. We've had a software session. Everybody's happy moving into the q2 q3 q4 2024 You know, I still think at some point we could hit a recession, but again remember that recessions are Historically speaking roughly ten months in length and the recessions themselves are The economy and the markets in the economy are two different things So even if we do get into a recession Just you know on average it takes six to seven months for the markets to rebound from that point And of course the economy then recovers later. So even if we do hit a recession I still say we're in the right place at the right time, especially with the Bitcoin having coming up anyhow Let me know as you think about that in the comment section then of course What happened with the markets itself today? Well, it was a little bit of Term while and this again, this is not surprising like when I saw this today I was like, this is great because you know might I mean tomorrow It's it probably won't recover by tomorrow. So this is good for me. I will just keep dollar cost averaging I got a pretty long horizon. So it's actually like pleasantly surprised when it didn't hit 44,000 It's like, hey, great. We're below 43. It's pretty good Ethereum's down everything's down. Let's see what the biggest downer was today, Solana And of course, we're gonna talk about the Jupiter airdrop that it actually quite well and maintained after its $2 peak But yeah, whatever Let's see Cardano avalanche. I mean all the altcoins are down pretty heavily And you know what I'd like to see I would like to see if we can put the currency into Let's not whatever everything my Bitcoin and see how everything's doing well tethers up Let's see So let's see. Oh XRP in the last 24 hours is up 0.5 dollars up against Bitcoin But I like to do this every so often just to see what if you just put your money into Bitcoin how you would do and today it's looking like you should have just put it into Bitcoin and That's just a lesson now. This doesn't happen every time like look here's Monero at 4.7 percent Congratulations bit tensor a towel, which was on a tear lately. So good for you guys first digital USD All right, I'm gonna guess that's another stable coin But a lot of red across the board squeeze up a little bit But for the most part, you know Bitcoin and that's why like As we move into the tin the bull market just be aware that a lot of people are gonna tell you that this is the greatest thing of all Time and this altcoin whatever else and you can do that And I can't give a financial advice much dad, but I'm just saying that you know sometimes It's less it's just good to not have so much stress and just say you know what If I go into Bitcoin over a four-year time horizon things usually work out anyhow let me just think about that in the comments and then also I Was a buoyed by this and this was Thomas hey Apollo comm a wonderful Twitter account links in the description I just like to do this James is doing a great job over invest answers doing all these these diagrams, but I just Saw this and said to myself well at some point maybe everybody's right There's going to be a supply shock and we can just see here that the the nine ETF inflows in orange We can see how much it's actually been and we can see of course the grayscale Bitcoin outflows now Of course grayscale Bitcoin everybody's trying to get out of that because the fees are so high They refuse to drop them also the fact that FTX and who knows what other different types of Players are actually in the what was the grayscale trust which has been transferred over to the grayscale ETF There's a lot of dumping going on because they had to and we can see I mean, I'm not a Genius or a TA person. That's a pretty nice trend. There's less dumpage and I like that so as time goes on maybe we see a lot less grayscale dumping and You know, maybe we can actually see some price appreciation going on with Bitcoin and of course the Bitcoin Goes up. Usually what follows is your precious all coins. So I like that. This is a bullish indicator very happy with that But on the flip side of that, this is not bullish It's from Zach XBT and it looks like ripple was hacked and before everybody starts to lose their mind It was just a wallet a special wallet But it states and if you don't know Zach XBT, he's like the internet sleuth rugpulse survivor turned 2d detective He's had a lot of good information. I must admit and he says yeah It appears that at ripple was hacked for two hundred thirteen million or a hundred and twelve point five Million dollars. Here's the source address and he goes through here. So this was one wallet It was hacked and transferred over here and the question is well, who's walled is that? It's Chris Larson co-founder of ripple and he states yesterday. There was an unauthorized access to a few Not all I might add to just a few of my personal expertise XRP accounts not ripples We were quickly able to catch the problem and notify exchanges to freeze the effective addresses law enforcement has already involved Who rah-rah the thing I just think to myself is man Chris Larson's got a lot of XRP that I'm just saying could potentially be dumped on the markets Maybe there's a reason why what it how is? Let me switch this back. Just real quick because it always astounds me How poorly as far as price appreciation XRP does now don't shoot the messenger I own XRP I wanted to go up just as bad as you guys do But it's amazing to me Just how yeah, I don't look at that ripple executive report on the rest axis. It's just amazing to me Just how poorly the price appreciation actually does let's let's zoom out a little bit. Let's take a year. All right And over a year.  I'm sorry guys. You did but no much just very flat so I wonder if it's just a bunch of Still pressure going on in the background with the custody wall I know of course you can say well, there's only so much custody and they put it back in and then go I get it But it's just it's just surprising to me and Since 2017 when I got in it's always been the same thing. Just you wait XRP is gonna be the next big thing However, I will give you this it still is in the top 10. So actually number six anyhow Just thinking out loud kind of interesting and then on top of that Congratulations to all the new Jupiter holders. We don't know Jupiter you can find that a jupy dot AG believe that's right Yes for the airdrop and anybody who used a Solana wallet and interacted with The Jupiter decentralized exchange Qualified for a Jupiter airdrop. I did not apparently I just missed it so bummer on me, but I'm happy for you guys that you got this and This was the criteria. How do you qualify? Well 955,000 wallets which interact with Jupiter directly before the 2nd of November Are eligible for the first jupy airdrop which one of the biggest today? I didn't do that I used orca and I'm sure there was an airdrop somewhere But it didn't happen for me But maybe did it for you and this was just essentially free money and I'm glad that it happened for everybody but I Will say that it did drop pretty precipitously almost 67 percent. However If we take a look at coin get go and there's conflicting data I must admit because the data that I got first from the X account from Jupiter States that the price itself started at 40 cents But for some reason over here in coin get go it says $2 So if it was at 40 cents, I'm just telling you if it wasn't 40 cents And it wasn't here at $2 and slipped to 65 it was a 40 that means that it's still up And if you can see I'm pleasantly surprised that I mean 63 cents. Okay, let's just say it was to okay I dropped a lot, but from here all the dumpers might be gone because it's still at 66 cents That's amazing because I believe correct me the comment section they dropped or they airdropped like 40% of their circulating supply I'm not for sure about that one. I just saw that as a snippet But if that's the truth and everybody got all this airdrop who's selling not that much and That's over a time horizon of between 11 I mean, that's like seven hours seven and a half hours So we'll see what happens tomorrow, but I gotta tell you that looks pretty good I was kind of thought it would drop more so that could be one thing to watch and congratulations to all you holders So that'll take it for that and then now it's gonna be a little PSA and we'll get into a little Q&A Public service announcements and coin questions answers. Just so everybody knows The tangent team send this over to me tangent one of my favorite wallets. I have it somewhere. That's right here Tangem has secured a week of zero fees a week of zero fees on changely for its user swaps on changely They're gonna be added to tangent on February 14th Valentine's Day the whole week thereafter. Let me do some quick math 14th of the 21st Uses will enjoy zero fees when swapping coins and tokens through changely. So that's pretty awesome Especially if they're talking about tokens on the Ethereum chain because if it's Ethereum and there's no there's no fees That's incredible. If it's on like polygon You saved a couple pennies and if it's on Solana Hey, she's saying a fraction of a cent but still pretty good sounds good to me. Good job tangent looks good also For everybody who got screwed over like myself on Celsius and we got duped good news two good pieces of news Celsius is now called Ionic digital community ex Celsius. I will not be following them But they did state that from the lawyers at Kirkland analysis distributions will begin today and tomorrow Hey, congratulations. Maybe we'll get some money back or crypto or whatever it is But we'll continue in the days and weeks that are afterwards if you don't immediately receive instructions for distribution Just wait longer. No, just kidding. It says, please be patient to be able to look out for communication. So This is the information I got from here if you want to go deeper into that I always recommend two people to follow Simon Dixon comm forward slash recovery links in the description And also my man Aaron Bennett who is living the sweet van life who puts out fantastic videos on the things Going on the crypto sphere as well as the things that are happening as far as like Celsius or whatever it's called now So follow those two gentlemen, and they will let you know exactly what's going on now Let's get into the little Q&A also a little bonus for everybody tonight. We're gonna do part two of the my ro Solana meme coin giveaway. So yesterday we gave away 10,000 Mara Miro Miro coins and we're gonna give away another 10,000 roughly about it. I think it's like 1400 bucks or something like that. So just go over there. We'll do this at the end. I'll give you a link and Yeah, we had I gave it was pretty fun yesterday. I got to give away 20 There was 20 winners and I just and I show you how I collect the Solana wallets and then I just give it to you live and then you get them like like that It's pretty cool. So we'll do that for the Q&A and I'll let you know how that works out


And if I need a word to help me, he will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will he also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of him. He is in charge by my request, and he will hear and answer me, because he speaks for God, my Father, and his Holy Son.

Thank you, Father God. Almighty, precious Jesus, name be praised. Amen. Amen, amen. Thank you. Thank you, Kiran, for leading in prayer. So we are studying from the book of Acts. And in the last class we saw how Stephen stands before the council and he defends himself. And despite such a good defense, the very accusation against him that he was not honoring the holy place or the temple, that he was not honoring Moses. You know, all those claims that people had against him, that he was going to demolish with his explanation, but still the people were so enraged and angry with him. Excuse me. That, you know, they went ahead and they killed him. So it was really heartbreaking to see how the, you know, how he became a martyr and the pain that Stephen endured. We saw that, you know, at the time when Stephen was about to give up his life, he saw Jesus standing in appreciation of his dedication and devotion to Christ.   For a martyr to be accepted in heaven. So that was comforting. You know, even though we saw that he was stoned and so brutally murdered and for being an innocent person. Okay. That really breaks our heart. But the Lord Jesus showed his compassion from heaven and appreciated Stephen. We saw that and we also saw, you know, how the fruit of the spirit, after all this was, you could say he was not really one of the apostles or one of the great leaders in the early church. But though he was by now only like a volunteer, you see him only as a volunteer who was selected to serve food by the early church, but even a volunteer, right? The kind of maturity that he had developed in God, the way he was moving, we read that he was moving in powerful signs and wonders. Okay. So a man of good report, a man who was moving in the power of God and also a man with the fruit of the spirit. Come with me. You know, how many of us as believers will have the heart to say, you know, God, please don't hold whatever they are doing to me. Don't hold it against them. So unless you have the fruit of the spirit, right? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, love, self-control. The fruit of the spirit in the life of a believer, not necessarily a leader. In the early church, it really shows us how people were maturing in the Lord and how they loved the Lord even unto death. And Stephen is a martyr. Stephen is a martyr who gave up his life with such a kind heart. He trusted God even towards the end and he was willing to forgive the people who murdered him. So when we look at all these things, it really moves us and it really helps us to see how the Holy Spirit was working in the lives of people, you know, in the early church. Now we will continue from there. So we've completed, we've looked at the life of Stephen and, you know, something like this can shake the church up. Okay. To have somebody who is such a good and a wonderful part of our church. Now that person was killed through mobs. And, you know, that can bring a lot of fear. What will happen to the church? Will they continue to hold on to God's word? Will they continue to preach the gospel? What will happen to that acts one night that Jesus said, now you go into all the world and preach the gospel? Will they stop because of something so, you know, something so terrible that has happened to the body? But if we notice that the believers don't stop, they continue to take the gospel out. You know, different ones of them in their own capacities, they serve the Lord. And that's the beauty of the work of the spirit in the life of the believer. Okay. And, you know, we see throughout now, even now after Stephen died, that didn't stop the believers and, you know, they were passionate about the kingdom of God. So, Acts chapter 8, we will move on to the next chapter here. It's hard to move on because we've just had, you know, such a wonderful man of God being killed, you know, in this kind of, like a painful, heartless way. And it's really hard to move on and talk about other things. But we see that God's work did not stop, right? Even after martyrdom of his beloved children. Now, from verse 1 of Acts chapter 8, we see that Saul, okay? Saul of Tharsis, remember? Stephen was presenting the word of God to different people from different synagogues. Okay, why is men educated men from different synagogues? And he would try to convince them and have disputes with them. And Sicilia, we saw the term Sicilia there. So, obviously, you know, that's a notable place because Saul of Tharsis comes from that region. And rightly so, Acts chapter 8, you know, you have Saul. His name also is mentioned. And you see that he was consenting to his death. Now, when you look at that word consenting, if you look it up in the Greek word, we are told that the actual Greek word, that is not just to say yes, but with approval, you know, very happily and in a way that it pleases you. You know, you're saying yes, go for it, do it, okay? So, he was passionately saying yes to the death of Stephen. So, you can imagine the condition of Saul's heart at this point. He was passionately against the Church of the Lord, Jesus Christ. And what kind of works was Saul of Tharsis involved in? We are told that there was a great persecution that happened and it affected people in the Church of Jerusalem and these people were scattered. They were scattered throughout the region of Judea, Samaria, except the apostles. So, the believers got scattered. The believers got scattered, but the apostles remained. Now, some of the other passages about Paul that you read in the book of Philippians, chapter 3 and verse 6, you know, Paul writes about his way of persecuting those who believed in Jesus and he says that with zeal, with zeal he persecuted, okay? And he was very, very proud of his association, you know, with the Pharisees and you know, you read, he describes himself in many places as, you know, he was a Pharisee of Pharisees and he was living for the right thing. So, he was taught, he was just being true to that teaching and he thought that this new teaching about Jesus is going to corrupt the law and that is why as an act of righteousness, you know, he was passionately against the Church and at that time a great persecution arose, okay? Now, what will happen if there is persecution and believers can no longer gather in that same place? Here, we are told that they got scattered. So, what do we expect? You know, we might expect that believers are very scared now, they may want to forget about church and not continue in the faith, but that's not what happens in the book of Acts. In fact, you find that the believers take that passionate devotion for Christ wherever they go, okay? So, believers got scattered and they took the gospel with them and we will see, we will see how this affects other regions, okay? As we go along. Now, continuing in chapter 8, verse 2 also says, and devout men carried Stephen to his burial and made great lamentation over him. So, in among the Jews, you had, excuse me, people like Saul who were passionately against Stephen, but you also had people who were devoted to God, okay? And who could see right from wrong. So, there were some Jews who understood that what was going on was not correct. Now, these were the people who helped with the burial of Stephen. Remember, he was just thrown, he was dragged outside the city and he was stoned. So, his body would have been lying there without anyone to claim it, but there were some good people who actually helped with the burial and it says they made great lamentation. Now, in those times, there was also that culture of crying and grieving over somebody who died. These good people knew that they must give Stephen that honour and they did it. Now, we continue to see the manner in which Saul is persecuting the church. So, in verse 3, Saul says, we see that Saul made havoc of the church. When you say that made havoc, it's like creating fear, creating chaos, creating a lot of confusion. So, very proactively, Saul of Tarsus was trying to damage the church in every way possible. So, read about him. He was entering every house. That is to show that he didn't want to spare anybody. So, he was entering every house bragging of men and women, it says. So, in the times of the early church, if men were the ones who were persecuted, that is understandable. But, if a persecutor was happy to persecute women also, it really shows his extent of passion and zeal for his own law and against the teachings of Jesus. So, Saul of Tarsus, it's painting a picture for us. This is the man that we are going to see, give his life to Christ a little later on. In fact, in the very next chapter, but this is how he is right now. He is angry. He is creating havoc. He is consenting with approval with great happiness to the persecution of the believers. And he drags people out and we are told that he was committing them to the prison. So, he really wanted to trouble those who were believers. And it says, therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. So, when these kind of things are happening for their own safety, the believers must have left Jerusalem. The apostles stayed on and that we see, but believers went off to a safer place. But you notice, they went off and they didn't keep quiet. We are told that they were preaching the word everywhere they went. So, in one sense, we can see that the people had a genuine conversion. They were genuinely filled with the Holy Spirit and they were genuinely passionate about the gospel. Now, the apostles didn't have to tell them five steps for evangelism.  They got scattered. It's a very fearful time. They've run away, but even though they have run away, it says wherever they went, they knew about Christ. They knew Christ so well that they could not stop but share this truth with others. So, it is said sometimes that these, if you want to call them missionaries or you want to call the believers as preachers, they were not in the ministry because they intended to be in the ministry, so to speak. But some people have said that they became accidental preachers.  But people need to know about Jesus. So, what did these believers do? They said, okay, fine, let us only share about Jesus and they would have gone ahead and preached and people heard the gospel. So, this is the way the gospel spread outside of Jerusalem. So, Acts 1-8 is happening even though there is persecution. Remember, Gamaliel, what he said when he was talking to the council, he said, look, if this is a work of God, we cannot stop it. And in the introduction of the book of Acts, I told you, imagine something like a forest fire and that is what is happening even when the people try to put a lid on it. And how hard did the authorities try to stop the spread of the gospel? You saw Saul of Tarsus. It's quite bad because he's dragging people, putting them in the prison, every house it says, even the women. So, in a very, very serious way, brutal way, they were being harmed and yet the gospel did not stop. So, is it a work of God or is it not a work of God? Again, it's very obvious that this is the work of God and the gospel is being taken to other regions. So, the way Jesus said, Jerusalem, Judea Samaria, now Judea Samaria is happening. And then the ends of the earth, but the movement to the ends of the earth has started. Okay, now we will read about one more volunteer whom we met in the chapter 6 when they needed seven men. So, Philip is another volunteer in the church and we'll see how he is ministering after this persecution and fleeing away from the church. So, we are told here that Philip, he went down to the city of Samaria. Now, what was special about Samaria? You know, the Samaritans, they were not, they were sort of a mix, some mix of the Jewish culture and some other culture. So, they were not, if you want to term it as the pure breed they say of Jews, Hebrews, they were not like that. So, they had a little bit of a mixture happening in their blood. So, they were Jews also, but they had some other culture mixed up. So, the actual Jews did not like the Samaritans and they in fact looked down on the Samaritans. And yet, you know Philip, as a believer, he doesn't stop himself from ministering the word to a different culture. And in this case, a culture of people who were considered lower than the culture from which Philip came. So, he went to Samaria and it says beautifully, he preached Christ to them. And what was the result of the preaching of Philip? Multitudes with one accord, he did the things spoken by Philip. So, the way Peter stood up and preached, people responded.  Okay, but these are all spiritual men. It's not about their position in the church, but you see how strong their relationship with God is. Okay, so that is what is important. And we can see that Philip had a strong relationship with God and how he went ahead and preached and people actually responded to the gospel. And you see that there were miracles that Philip also did. So, they were in no way, God was not limiting himself to be seen only through the ministry of the apostles. God was seen very much in the ministry of the believers and the volunteers of the church also. So, today that's a big lesson for us, isn't it? That we too can, all believers in our church can be like a Stephen. They can be like a Philip. Okay, and God can work through everybody. Now, while Philip was ministering, you also noticed that unclean spirits crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. And there was great joy in that city. So, what kind of ministry is Philip engaging in? You know, it is the way Jesus ministered preaching, teaching, healing. So, speaking the gospel and demonstrating the power of the kingdom of God. So, he engaged in both ways and whenever the gospel is brought to a place, what happens? You see that at the bottom of verse 8, it says, and there was great joy in that city. So, when God, his love, the news that salvation has been already bought for us on the cross and you know, his power is released in the lives of the people. We receive joy. Okay, so the people receive joy. That land receives joy and that is what ministry should do. So, notice here, the gospel is traveling. It already happened in Jerusalem. People responded. It has gone to Samaria now and it is blessing the land of Samaria. So, when we talk about, you know, missions and taking the gospel here, taking the gospel there, planting a church in a new city. So, out of that ministry, what should happen? So beautiful. Philip went and preached. Philip went and demonstrated the power of the kingdom. There was great joy in the city. So, the gospel, it brings great joy to the people and that is the beauty of the gospel.  So, even through a so-called, you know, lower section of the people, the gospel went through, the gospel touched their lives and God was not discriminating. And here, even a believer like Philip, who is a Jew himself, he was not discriminating. Okay, and the gospel gave him an open mind because we know the Bible says that, you know, God so loved the world. So, there is no sections and, you know, one is better than the other. All kinds of biases in our society, in our community, we see that. But as far as the gospel is concerned, you know, God does not discriminate. As believers, we should not discriminate, you know, when it comes to the different strata of society. So, beautifully, Philip ministers and there is great joy in the city. Now, moving on, now there are all kinds of people, right, in a given place. And the gospel has touched many lives. We will read about a prominent person in Samaria who was affected by the gospel. And this man's name is Simon. Okay, this man's name is Simon. Simon was actually a sorcerer. Okay, so he was indulging in black magic, witchcraft, you know, things of the, he was engaging in the dark spiritual realm. Okay, but we read about him that he was so effective and so powerful in the city that they used to call him the great power of God. Okay, and when Simon saw what Philip was doing, he was astonished. Oh, sorry, just a moment. No, the people were astonished at the sorcery of Philip. But also we see that Simon was again astonished or amazed by the supernatural works that Philip did. Okay, so now you can imagine, now there's already a man who was moving in the wrong kind of spiritual activities. Okay, and obviously there was some power which he was seeing through his work. But when Philip comes and he ministers through the power of God, a sorcerer is amazed. So the power of God was greater, much greater than whatever he had experienced in the practice of his witchcraft. You got it? And he's not like some ordinary sorcerer because people used to call him the power of God, somebody of his caliber, somebody who had the city looking up to him, that kind of a person is amazed by the ministry of Philip. Okay, so this just shows us that a believer, and in this case Philip is, he's not even an apostle, but God's power can flow mightily through the life of anyone who believes. Okay, that even a sorcerer was amazed. Those kind of miracles, we saw that miracles, people were set free, those who were paralyzed were healed. Wow, supernatural demonstration of the power of God happening through the life of an ordinary believer. That even a sorcerer is amazed and that is happening in the city of Samaria. So Philip is continuing his ministry. So all the things that he did, he preached there, we are told that he preached about the kingdom of God, he preached about the name of Jesus and both men and women, they were baptized. Then this man Simon, seeing all this, hearing everything, he also responded. Okay, how beautiful. And he continued with Philip, it says that means obviously there must have been more meetings like this, prayer meetings, gatherings where people used to worship together. So Simon decided, okay, let me also go, let me also learn more things, let me also worship this God. So he became a believer. Okay, then when all this amazing work is going on in the city of Samaria, the apostles were in Jerusalem. They heard that people had responded to the word of God in Samaria. So what did they do? They sent Peter and John to them. So the Apostle Peter, the Apostle John from Jerusalem, they come to Samaria and they minister to the people of Samaria, the Holy Spirit baptism. Okay, so now you might ask the question, is it a different incident to be baptized in the Holy Spirit compared to being born again? Because being born again is also a work of the Holy Spirit. Okay, we do receive the Spirit in a, you know, there is a work of the Spirit when we are born again. But the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a separate incident. We already said that when Philip preached the gospel, many people responded. And even the apostles heard that the word of God was received. That means people have already become believers. Now, when they have already become believers, they are once again ministered to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. So in the early church, it's becoming quite clear that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a separate experience from being born again. And Peter and John, they go to Samaria and they help. So you can see here a teamwork. Okay, today also when we go and minister in one place and people respond to the gospel, we don't just leave them there and say, oh wow, you know, so many people have accepted Christ, they are saved. Okay, now forget about it. No, but what do you see the early church do? They sent the apostles. Why? Because now that there are a set of people who are believers, they need to be nurtured. They need to grow in God. So what are all the things that the leaders must do to equip the believers? That is important. So the early church did not abandon them, could have said, wow, great, Samaria has received the word finished. But they knew that the believers have to be discipled. That's what Jesus said in the Great Commission, right? And also baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and teaching them all things that I have taught you. So these people need to be discipled in Samaria. So it's like the birth, we saw the birth of a church in Jerusalem. Now the birth of the church in Samaria. It is born and it is being nurtured. Peter and John come and they minister to them the baptism in the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit had not fallen on any of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Jesus. Again, it gives you clarity here, water baptism and Holy Spirit baptism. These are all separate things. And the church seems to have practiced preaching. Then once people get born again, water baptism and then at least here it's like water baptism and then Holy Spirit baptism in that order it is taking place. And how did they minister the baptism in the Holy Spirit by laying hands on them and the people receive the Holy Spirit? So based on this, even today, when we pray for baptism in the Holy Spirit, what do we do? We go and we lay hands. So the spirit of God, which is within a believer, which is within us who are already baptized in the Holy Spirit. We lay our hands, the one who wants to receive the Holy Spirit is poured out on that person. So from where did we learn this laying hands to pray for baptism in the Holy Spirit? From the Book of Acts. We see that as a common practice. So they laid hands and when they prayed for the new believers, they received the Holy Spirit. So now all this is going on in Samaria. It's like, you know, sometimes there's a beautiful season. Like in my life, it has happened like in my school days, college days and all. Those days, they used to have a lot of meetings where I lived. So every other day there will be a poster. There is a gospel meeting. There is this, that. So we would go for all of those meetings and it was exciting. It was really exciting. So I'm imagining it would have been like that. So many people are hearing the gospel. Many people are giving their life to God. Every evening there is a meeting. There is worship. There is preaching. There is baptism in the Holy Spirit. Exciting times. And new ministers have come from the church of Philip. You know, Pastor Peter, Pastor John, they've all come and they are also sharing. So it's like a thrilling time in Samaria and the whole city is in joy. And there are miracles taking place in people's lives. Now, when all this is going on and also influential people like Simon. Simon is also Simon the sorcerer. He has also given his life to Christ. Now, you let us see how Simon observes and reacts to what is going on. In verse 18, we read that Simon saw that through the laying on of the Apostles hands, the Holy Spirit was given. So he's observing what these men are laying their hands and then people are speaking in tongues. All this is going on. So remember, he also is a sorcerer. So he knew the spiritual realm a little bit, but the dark side of it. And based on his previous experience, he's saying, okay, I will give you money. He tells this to, you know, the Apostles, give me this power also that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit. So he's calculating the way he used to do as a sorcerer and thinks that for some money, let me also buy this power and see how Peter responds. You know, Peter buy the Holy Spirit, obviously. He is responding each time. Earlier we saw through the word of knowledge, you remember, Ananias and Sapphira, they also did not do the right thing. So Peter rebuked them. Now, Simon seems to come to that same place of receiving a rebuked from Peter. So when Simon says, I want to buy the Holy Spirit, I want to buy this power. When I lay hands, people should also receive the Holy Spirit. Peter gives him one nice rebuked and says, your money perish with you because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money. You have neither part nor portion in this matter for your heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this, your wickedness and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. So what is happening here? The motive of Simon's heart is not correct. He is not honoring the Holy Spirit as God. He is not honoring the work of the Spirit as the work of God. He thinks it's just some power that is being released and it can be purchased with money. So there is a dishonor. That Peter is noticing and that is why he scolds him. And what kind of scolding he says?  So it's like saying that Simon himself will face the consequences for what he is trying to do. And Peter points out, the Holy Spirit, he is a gift from God. Money cannot buy the Holy Spirit. Today for us in the church, we must remember this. Money cannot buy Holy Spirit. Money cannot buy the work of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes what believers think, I will give more offering then somebody will minister to me with prophecy. Somebody will minister to me with this and that. We think, yeah, through money, we can get it. But see what Peter is saying. Holy Spirit is a gift of God. How can you think you can purchase with money?  And then he gets, you know, strongly he tells him, you neither have part nor portion in this matter because Peter recognizes, just like Ananias and Sapphira, how could you lie to the Holy Spirit? He asks them, right? Because, you know, God gives the discernment. Now, looking at Simon from outside, I don't think Peter would have known. But by the Holy Spirit, discerning of spirits, Peter realized this man's heart is not correct. Something is wrong. Something is wrong with this individual. So he says, your heart is not right in the sight of God. So when somebody's heart is not right, what should they do? They must repent, they must have a change of heart because it's only when we are willing to change our attitude that God can, you know, come back and minister into our lives. But otherwise, you know, if we continue in this case, it seems more like, you know, pride. It seems like arrogance. When we are in that place, even if God wants to minister, it will not reach the heart of the person. And that's the reason. Peter recognizes, oh, heart is in a bad condition. So he calls Simon to repentance and says, you repent, repent therefore of this wickedness and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. So it's a wicked thought to dishonor the Holy Spirit and to think that money can buy the Holy Spirit or the works of the Holy Spirit. And so he says, come on, this is serious. You need to say sorry to God and change your heart attitude. And then, you know, Peter also tells him, for I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity. So the heart condition of Simon was not good. Bitterness, bound by iniquity, all this shows pride, it shows the wrong attitude that Simon was carrying. So a believer with the wrong attitude in the church, you see, that might cause us to do the wrong things. And so how is Peter dealing with a believer with the wrong attitude? He's saying repent. There needs to be a change of motives, change of heart, change of intentions because without that you cannot fully experience the kingdom of God. And is it possible for a believer to become like this? We have talked about this when we studied one John. Yes, it is very much possible. Believers are born again, believers are new creation in Christ, everything has become new, all that is true. But if we are not careful, even believers can carry wickedness in our hearts. You know, you have Ananias, Sapphira, now you have Simon. These are all people example. So I don't know, I don't know how they started out. Maybe they started out very pure hearted and what made them to come to this place of greed, of pride, of bitterness. He says poisoned by bitterness, bound by iniquity, meaning there is evil in your heart. How did that happen to them? We don't know. But when God convicts us and says, your heart is not right, what should we do? We must repent. So that is the best way to respond and Peter knew that. So in fact, thank God, you know, Simon didn't die. He didn't fall and die like Ananias and Sapphira. He had an opportunity to change himself so that he can continue and he can experience God the way the apostles were experiencing the way Philip was experiencing. So a good heart, see a believer, that spiritual life of the believer, right? In Christ Jesus experiencing everything, all that is wonderful. But along with that, maintaining a good heart, all through your journey is very precious. If at all we notice, oh, I am carrying some pride, I am carrying some anger, I am carrying things of the flesh. The moment we recognize it, the way Peter told Simon, repent therefore. And here the kind of wickedness that Simon displayed is dangerous, very, very serious because he is trying to buy the Holy Spirit. So that's why Peter gets very angry. He says, you know, you repent before God. It's so bad, your thought itself is so bad. I hope that when you pray and you ask forgiveness, I hope God forgives you. He puts it like that. You are poisoned, poisoned and bound by iniquity. So believers have to be careful. And let's see how Simon responds. So Simon answers him back and says, pray to the Lord for me that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me. So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. So Simon, instead of he personally repenting, he's asking for the preacher to pray for him. Now, is this okay or not okay? Maybe it's okay because it shows that he is starting to humble his heart before the Lord. So it begins there. And we don't read about Simon later in this passage. So did Simon repent fully or did he not repent? We don't know exactly what happened to Simon the sorcerer. But at least his response shows that what Peter said was working in his heart. Okay, hopefully he came around and he said sorry to God and he changed his heart attitude. Okay, so that is what happened to Simon the sorcerer. And we notice here that the word continued to be preached, ministered to. And once this was done, it says they returned to Jerusalem. So people who were ministering like Peter, John and I think, okay. Yeah, Peter and John returned back to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. All right, so there must have been, when you say Samaria, there must have been lots of communities. So they ministered everywhere and then they kind of went back to Jerusalem. So let me just stop here. We have a few minutes. So if you want to share your thoughts or you have any comments, I think you could talk about that and then we will come back and continue with the rest of the chapter. So what did you see? What did you learn from, you know, Philip going and ministering in Samaria and also the life of Simon the sorcerer, the way he responds. Okay, great, great, great, great. You're understanding. That's good. That's good. So yeah, I think you're noticing the gospel is going out. All kinds of people are responding. And how does the church take up new communities that are responding? Church is scaring. Church wants the apostles are wanting to build up these new communities. So they travel all the way from Jerusalem and they minister there. So you see all these, you know, ways of extending God's kingdom that is happening in the early church. All right. So any thoughts about Simon, Simon the sorcerer, Simon, you want to call him the magician? Okay. So what we'll do is let's just go ahead for a break. I know it's 948 now. We will come back at 958. All right. So let's take a 10 minute break. We'll come back and we can continue from where we have stopped. Okay. Thank you.


Hi everyone, this is Chih-chou. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another 10x10 game. And this is the third night of us live streaming this game on Twitch, where we have a whole bunch of people watching this game right now and we're sort of playing this game together, sort of as a group trying to get to 100, solve this puzzle, right? And if you've watched some of the previous videos, the rules are very simple. I'm going to provide links in the description of this video, taking you to a blog post where the rules are written out, the instructions are written on how to play this game. And we have a video out, one original video where we went through it in detail. And every video we've sort of been doing a little introduction to this game as well and going over the rules, okay? So that's what we're going to do right now. And I'm going to kick it in straight into the game. Okay. As far as the rules of the game is concerned, this is a 10x10 grid. That means we have 100 squares. Our purpose is to fill all the squares, starting with the number one all the way to 100. And the way we do it is we basically decide where we want to place number one. It's open board, right? So let's assume we put number one on F6, okay? So we write down one on F6, okay? Now from there, we go up sequentially all the way to the number 100, right? And the next number is two. And the next number we can place vertically or horizontally three squares away from where the number one is. And diagonally we can place it away two squares away from where the number is, right? So number one is here. Number two basically has eight spaces, eight spots that it can go in, right? And then once you place your number two, same rules apply. Vertically or horizontally, three units away, three squares away, diagonally, two squares away. You can't go off grid and you can't occupy a square that's already occupied. You can only occupy empty squares. That's the name of the game. That's the rules of the game. And this is our third night of live streaming this game. This is our sixth game we're playing. We've been recording on the HD camera with the lapel mic, the second game each night. And so far, we've gotten up to 91. We've gotten to 92, 94, 99. We got in. Yeah, last night's second game. And we just finished one game where we got to 96. And we did a speedy Gonzales style. We did it half the time as the previous games. We did it in half an hour. Okay. So we're going to play another game. And with chat with the gang watching on Twitch and participating, telling us the movement types, we've decided the strategy we're going to use for this game is we're going to break the grid into two halves. Okay. The first game that we played were recorded. We started on the outside and worked our way in. We got to 91, the record version. The second recorded version we played, we broke this into quadrants and we dealt with the quadrants. Right. And we got to 99. That was really good. So we've decided to do this one by breaking the grid into two pieces. And what I want to do is I'm going to bring out the color of this tape. We're calling it blue, but it's not blue. The official color name of this tape is if I can find it. Indigo. Indigo is the color of this tape. Okay. So we're just going to put this down. Go across. Exacto knife. Now that we've got that up, let's decide what we're going to start off with. Oh, someone's an eraser. C6 starting 810 eraser. He changed his mind. Okay. Let's do it. 810. So we're going to start up here. Number one. So I think what we're planning on doing is if we're starting up here, we're going to try to get all that done before we move here. But what might happen is what we figured out how to do with the quadrant method. Sometimes it might have to pop down here and then move back up again. Okay. So what's the next movement type? Go down three and around the perimeter of the grid. Eraser says go down three and around the perimeter of the grid. So we can do this too. And if we want to go into the grid, into the perimeter, we could go across. The other choice is we go up and then we come down and hit that. But that's not bad. Let's go across. Let's go around. Agreed? Two, three, four, five, C8, A6. C8, A6. Actually, I like that better. What are you going to say then across? In increments of three around the perimeter, we got two directions to go. We got another choice coming here and then going down here. Instead of doing this, the other option is this and then down here. And then that'll hit us in the end there. We could do the same thing there. Come out, go in and do that. That would be nice and symmetrical. I agree with index. We got two votes for index. Then downward diagonal left two units. We got two votes for doing this brother or sister. So let's take these down. You got outvoted. Two, three, three, four, six. And then we do the same. Seven, nine, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Oops, 10. Well, actually, when we went around, just going around when we did the previous game, we ended here with 12. So if you go all the way around, 12 takes you here. But doing it this way, 10 took us there. Where to now? Where to now? 10. This is the first time we're trying out this way. Oh, eraser, we can't provide links. How many sticky notes do we have? This is the last of my stack that I've bought, right? We got this much. We've gone through, well, we've played, this is our six game. And each one takes 100. So, and I've probably used some extras and stuff. So we've probably gone through around 600 right now. Where do we go? Then that's occupied up there. F8, H10. F8, back up, H10. Okay, that's good. And then we could go here, here. Then J8. Yeah, okay, let's do it. And then I'm assuming we're going to hit these up and put anything in these two rows at all. 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. And then we can go between these guys. Or should we go up here and continue to hit these two guys? Depending. If we're able to do this and just kick in here without going into here to go back, we can just make it completely symmetrical if we end up ending here with 51. I cheated and found a Python jumper puzzle solver code. Is that the link you went to? I think someone had written a program where it finds you solutions. That's the Python one, I think, someone wrote. Let's go up. 17, 18, 19, 21. Should we continue? Jump. 24. Well, that's our only out, really. 25, 26. Or wait a second. So 24, 25. C9, C6. So let's see. C9, C6. Kick down here. A8, C6. Oh, you want to go back up here? Yeah, why not? A8, 26. I guess we should try to hit this because from these finish off those two rows, we can't kick out here, so we should be concentrating up there. We should nail these guys. Agreed? We might have hit too many things on the bottom row here. 27, 28, 29. Oh, nice. We can take it all out. 29, 30, 31, 32, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32. Oh, that worked out okay. We got this or we got this. 33. We could do this. 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38. Kick out. Or 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40. Yeah, that looks good. The other choice is we go straight across and then we can end up there. So 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39. And then our only choice is 40 out here. And then we have no choice. So 40, 41, 42, and then we've got to kick out. 43, 44, 45. We need to hit A9. Yeah. And then we kick out. Okay. Should we do it that way? 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39. And then our only out is this. 40. This has one in, one out. This has one in, one out. This has this in, this out. So we would have to nail this and this and then come out. And this has to be hit from here. Looks good. So where are we at? That's got to be 40.  So over there, if we hit that, we've got to hit that, and then come out, hit, come out. We're at 40, 40. We could go 41, 42, 43, 44, and then 45. Should we do? Just take care of that problem issue right now. What's another problem area? What do you guys think? Yeah, I think we might have to. Okay, let's do it. So 41, 42, 43, 44. So 41, 42, 43, 44. Oh my god, that's a dead end. We can't do that. That's a dead end. We stuck. It doesn't work. Or we could go this way. What am I saying? We don't want to end there. So we go 41, 42, 43, and then 44. This is one of those examples where one way, you got all everything you want. The other way, you're total dead end. So any problem areas here? We've got this one in here coming out. This guy has that coming in and multiple going out. So we're okay with that one. That one should be okay. That one should be okay. That one should be okay. So that one. That's the problem area. That would have to be 100. This only has this out. So that would have to be 99. What should we do? What goes into that? Five. We're not going to go back that far. Nine. We're not going to go back that far. 11. So this guy would have to be 99. We got no choice. We got to deal with it, right? The rest we can get. Let's do it. That's where are we? 44, 45, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49. This happens when we did quadrants too. Yeah, it did. When we did quadrants before, we got stuck with one square that we couldn't get. So unless we can make this 99, that would be 100. If not, then the best we can do is 99 right now. Looks good. I'm genuinely curious if this can be solved in sections or quadrants. It appears to add to the difficulty. You know what? The quadrants, maybe our brains are able to pick up the patterns better when it's a smaller grouping to be able to cover that and then move on than it is to try to deal with a larger grid. I don't know. I would love to look into this further at some point, but too much to look into. So let's do this. 45, 46, 47. We could do this one. 48, 49. Oh no, we've got to take care of this one. That's only one in. Uh-oh. We can't do that. We have to hit here, hit there, hit there, and then go that way. Otherwise, this comes out, but that doesn't have another out if we hit this. So we have to go here, no. Yeah, we have to go here and then out. No, no, no. We have to go here first. We can't take this guy out yet. We've got to take this, take that, take that, and then have out. It's got to have it in and out. I think someone's solved it with Quadrants for sure. I think Malik's mentioned that he did solve it with Quadrants. Yeah. Yeah, I believe Malik had solved it. This was almost a year ago, so I'm not sure. Yeah, I missed the live streams previous nights and haven't caught up yet. That's great if it did. Yeah, it wasn't Nicholas. It wasn't during these sessions. It was last year's sessions, but we didn't solve it during the live stream. He mentioned that he solved it. So we can't take this. We have to go here, take this, take this, take that, take that. So what we want to do is go here right now. How do we go there? How do we get ourselves to there? These are the patterns that we have to sort of know, right? To be able to, if you're here, how do you get there? What's the pattern you need to be able to get there? We should get different color sticky notes and use the letters A, B, C, D to mark the path we need to take in the future. I have different colors here. Ask and you shall receive. We could use blue or we could use, well, this one we're not going to use. That's this one. We use pink or blue. Let's use pink. So check it out. So we need, this is one, one thing we need. When are you planning your next streams? Livia, Livia, Livia. It's going to be the end of, probably next weekend, end of this week. Oh, yay, red. Pink. Red would be nice. Okay, let's do it. So this is what we need. We need to nail these guys. We need to come here and then come here. So we need to do this, this and then that and then this and then this and then this and then this and we need, so so far, we need this as well. We need 99. We need this to be 99. So we can leave that guy there. So this guy goes there, that guy goes there, this guy goes here, that guy goes there, this guy goes there and this guy can go any which way he wants. This, this. Well, that's it. Two pathways. Indigo grid. Red sticky notes. Sounds good to me. I love it. Oh, fun. So I think we should do this guy first. Oh, fun. So how do we get to this guy from here? Let's check it out. How do we get there? We can get there from here, from here, from here, so many different places. Do this. Do this. That's not gonna work. Oh my god, we're dancing around those. Those color stickies may be exactly what's needed to help picture it. Yeah, I agree. I agree for sure. Looks cool on the, looking out on the map view. Okay, we got to get in here. How do we get in there? Boom. Harder to do when you're tighter. The movements are restricted. Oh, that doesn't do it. So we need to be on this row. We need to be here and there. Good diagonal here. Okay. Anybody see the pattern? How do we do? Doink. Doink. Doink. Doink. Oh, we can't do that. Doink. Can I figure out this to get there? Yeah, I can't figure it out either. Ichi-cho. There, Ichi-cho. Thanks for keeping up with the vids. Despite the YouTube drama, yeah, your comic book hauls are still going to fade for me. Peace for, thanks man. I love the comic book haul stuff too. I just haven't been able to, you know, search and start doing another haul, right? Gotta build up the funds. Speaking of the red, red, the lunar eclipse is about to start. Is it? We've got a full moon here. I can actually see the full moon through the window here. We've got to figure this one out, gang. How do we do this one? Oh, there we go. Here, we can do it this way. 45, 46. Oh, what? Did I lose it? 45, 46. 47, 48, 49. For some reason, I kept on thinking I want to be there. I don't want to be there. I want to be here. That's right. Oh, no, I don't want to be there. I keep on thinking I have to be there. That's why I can't figure it out. Jeez, Louise. B2, someone's got it for us. Q warrior, how are you doing? Awesome. Welcome, welcome to another stream. You got it for us? Let's check it out. B2, D4. So B2, D4, B2, D4, A4, A4, C2, E4, C2, E4. We're moving one at a time. Okay, that's what we're doing. B4, D2, B4, D2, and we're in. Nice. One at a time. Okay, let's do it. So what have we got? What have we got? Let me put this down. So we've got 45. Thank you, Q warrior. You can always count on the copacabas. 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51. Off we go. Awesome. So let's take these down. Those guys are down. So 51, that was about the right on the board. On the wall. 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, and we're out. 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57. There has to be a way for us to make this 99. There has to be a man index. Use the red stickies to figure out backwards. Can always count on that. Q warriors like, yes, my man. Now, 99. Here, let's put in a little. As long as we're going to use stickies. So this is our 100. Should we put on the red? Just to give us some kind of feel. I think if you're going quadrants, you need to think about mirrors. Yeah. For halves, I don't know as much because you got more room to play. We need this to be 100. We need this to be 99. We need this guy to go this way. And what's coming into that? We got this going in, that going in, that going in. We got three going in. So we're okay on that front. So I think we should nail these guys first. That and that. Just to make sure we don't or maybe even leave those because we might need them to bounce back and get to that guy. We don't need blue. We need these. So we're two. A lot of options. Let's see. Okay, let's see what's the problem areas here. This one in out. So this one is iffy. There's only two. That one and that one. So if we're coming into this one, we have to come here, then go there and pull out. This one has this and that. So if we come here, we have to go there and pull out. This one has that here, there. So no, that's that one. Hey, Chico. How are you? Hello, Jacob. Doing well, brother. Thank you very much. Giving the brain a little exercise. All right. So do we have any one ways here? There's lots of two ways. So we have to be careful here. So what should we take care of? Should we go in and out? So if we're at 57, if we come here, we take this. We take this. That has multiples in. I think we should try to shoot for this one. Come in and out. 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65. That kicks us out. Should we try it? Let's check it out. 58, 59, 60. We could do this one as well. Yeah, we got to take this. That, that, this, this, this. Did that work? Hopefully I didn't make a mistake. Should we write it? Nice. Cute warrior says, greetings, Dr. P. How are you doing? Well, there you go. Should we do? Let's see. Hopefully we're going to put it down right. And by the way, one of the strategies I'm using to play this game is this. I've taken it from when I used to play pool. The way that I used to be really good at pool, and I'm still okay, right?  You take care of your problems first. And this to me was a huge problem. Take care of your problems first.  And that's sort of something I've taken on for me in my life as well. I try to take care of the problems right away. Okay. I think we should do it. Wow. I can't even remember. Let's do it. 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63. They would go down here. 64, 65, 66. I got a feeling I took the wrong turn. 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74. Sweet. That worked out well. I went to the kitchen for a few minutes and come back to that. Oh, fun. Okay. Now we've got to be careful, gang. We want this to be 99. What do we do? What do we do? Okay. Time for blue. Maybe we should go, we should work back a bit from 99. Yeah. Let me put down, these is 98. Okay. So this guy, this feeds into it. This feeds into it, right? So this would have to be 98 and 98 or 98. That feeds into that, that feeds into that. So those are our secondary issues. Maybe we should use pink instead. Let's use pink instead. I like the pink. It stands out. So this guy and this guy. So what do we got now? If we take this right now, then we only got one option that narrows it down. So we're not going to take that. So 74 must be that one. 75 must be there. So this must be 75 to leave as many options for us as possible. Yeah. Agreed, gang? And these guys feed into that and that's 98 and that's 98. 75. We could take care of these guys. Take a look. 76, 77, 78, 79 kick out. Does that mean 97 has to be F2, 90s and F2, F2. That could be a 97. So let's check it out. Let's see where we're going. So if that's a 98 going there, this has to be 97 going there. 97. What's a 97 that feeds into this? 97 feeds into that and feeds into that. So this one only has a 97 from here feeding in there. You're right index. Yeah. Yeah. But this one has 97 feeding in two places. So we should be okay with taking this one down because we still have that one as 97, but it does narrow down our choices though, doesn't it? What else can we do? We could go 75, 76, sorry 76, 77, 78, 79, 90, 91. Oh, what's our problem? That's a problem area. What goes in there? Oh, this guy still goes in there. We have a narrow field of options. So let's try to get multiple scenarios before playing our turn. Yeah. 99 and G3 gives us more options. 99 and G3. This one gives us more options. Okay. Oh, 90. Yeah. Feeding into 99, right? So this guy's supposed to be 99. Yeah. Let's look at our options. Need to consider F7 too because there are only a few ways and you need to come down out F7. Yeah. This one, should we take care of that for now? That way it reduces the combinations we have because we can't take care of it. We could go 76, 77, 78. Here, let's lay this down for now. We can reverse this. So 76, 77, 78, 79, and then we've got two 80s kicking out. 80, F7 to I7. Yeah. So we're here right now. We can kick out here or we can kick out here. I'm going to lay down some more, but we can reverse it, right? I like G5. Yeah, me too. 80 and then we can do this. 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86. No, it's not good because from here we'd have to go here. 87, 88, and then we're stuck. It's not going to work. I4, F4, I4. Okay, let's try it out. So I4, F4, F1 come down. From there we got, so where were we? 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90. Index is G5. So index is saying this one. Let's lay this out the other way with blue. So G5, G2. So from here it would have been G5, 80, and then we got G2 and we're stuck after that. We're not stuck yet. Q warrior. I don't think we're stuck yet, but let's try it. Index, let's see where we go. G2, I4, we go here, and then F4, we go here, and F1, and we're here. I like that. Let's do that in my scenario at least. Okay, let's take down your scenario. Let's take this down. We do this. Let's do index. So what do we got? So this guy's 80, so that guy's 80. Let's take this down. Remember you actually want to use up some of these reds.  Agreed. I think for a second there, I wasn't realizing it until we started taking off. I'm like, oh, what, what? Okay, so let's do index, and then we'll maybe knock off a couple of reds and decide on the red path. G2, G2. So we've got 81, and then I4, 82, F4, F1. Okay, so we're doing this. Now we're going to take off some of the red. So 81, 82, 83, 84. Okay, now what do we got? So this one has two feeds, 97 and 97. We could take this guy out. If we take this guy out, what do we got? And you know what? Let's take out the 97s, because now we know. Let's take out the 97s. We narrowed it down far enough that we can visually see, right? So we're 84. We've got to decide on the 98s. So let's see. This guy's bothering me down here. Maybe we kept the red up too long. We can fully connect to our original plan. Yeah, and I'm in a problem connecting to it. We could take a few things down. I'm just going to lay these out, and then we can. So 85, 86, 87, 88, one message is up. My brain is struggling with this. I think we might have to backtrack. I think index is right. We might have to backtrack. I'm going to take these guys down. Should we take the 98s down? I think they're throwing us off. I too only feed in F2, I too. Yeah. So I think we have to use that one to go in. So let's take this guy out. And this guy would have to be 97 going in. This one has to be 97 going in. And what feeds into that is this one. Should we do it? Should we do backwards? Yeah, just leave 99 and 100. Should we do a little backwards for now? 97, 96. So 96 goes to this. 95. Our options are so limited. 94, 94, 93, 92, 91. Stuck. 92. This isn't working out through the backwards. Let's try a bit. Yeah, let's take these down. Let's take these down. Let's take these down. We're just leaving 99 up. Right? So we might have to backtrack. Let's backtrack. So this guy and that guy feed in there. Oh, this one is the messed up one. What goes in this? Only that feeds in this. This is a problem. So let's take this out. If we put this here, oh no, what fed into that? 83 feeds into that. So if this is 84, that has to be 84. My brain's cooked on this one. Sorry. No worries Nicholas. I think all our brains are sort of cooked. Sometimes it just falls together again, right? So that would have to be 85. 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91. That's it. Let's put in, oh never mind. 83 on my one. I think we've got to go back. So 83, 84, 83, where was 82? 82, 81. Okay, let's leave 81 there. I will take back to 80 right now or even more. Okay, let's take it back. 81, 80. We got 79. So what do we got? This one has three ends, that's okay. This one has three ends, that's okay. This one has two ends, three ends, two ends. So what if we take 80 down? Oh no, remember we said this would have to be 80, didn't we? 85 left that. Oh, J4, 85, 85. Oh, thank you very much. 85 down. Good, good. Thanks Q Warrior. So let's take a different path. It was 77. Thanks Nicholas. So if we take this one down to 80, what can we do from there? 81, 82. Someone explain how this works real quick. I just got here. So where are we at? 84, we got 85. This one is still a problem for us. What goes in there? This one only has that coming in. And this one, so that has to be 82. We've got to take this guy to 82. We have no choice on that. J4. This one, we can't take this one out. So we got a marker now on playing the same scenario on the web version to try to come out with the solution on my way. So let's do this. 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89. Now we're stuck. Well from 82 we have no choice. We've got to take it here. 83. What have we got choice from there? The only choice we got is 84 here. Now we got a choice for 85. Either here or here. We took this one. It didn't work. 85, 86. Then we go 93, 94. J3 only has one way in. J3. Oh, does it poop? Yeah, only that goes in. What else would go in there? 75. So this 77 and 75. If we take it back to 77, should we try it? And now F12. Yeah, let's take it out to, should we reverse? Take it to 77. What do you guys say? Go 77. Oh, that was our 78. That's why. So maybe we don't want to do that one yet. Or that would have gone in there too. 85, 86, 85, 84, 83, 82, 81, 80, 79, 78, 77. I think it probably needs to go back to 77. Yeah. So we're at 76. We got this going in to come out, right? And that guy goes in. So 77. Where else could we take 77? If it's not going there, we could take it here. That's the only other choice, right? And we could do this. 77, 78, 79, 80, 81 before 77 necklace. Yeah. So 76, 75. Should we try this out? Go a little bit further and see where it takes us. Yeah, it's looking better. Coming out on this end was better. So we've got 81. This one was still a problem, right? No, no, it's not anymore. That's right. So 82, 77, 88, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 92, 93, 94. We left too many on the table. We can get to 96, Dante. Let's check it out. Let's take this down. 94, 93, 92, 91, 90, 89, H4, 94. H4, 94. Did I take it back to 4? Didn't find anything. No, let's check it out. So 80, 89, 90, 91, 92. Oh, right there. 93, 94, 95. We can get to 99. 95, 96, 97, 98, and 99. Oh, no, we're missing one here. What's going on? We've missed the number somewhere. Uh-oh. Back we go, back we go, back we go, back we go, back we go. Where's our mistake? Let's check it out. 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 94, 95, 96. Oh, I just count it wrong. 95, 96, 97, 98, 97, 98. Will it be, I think 98? It's not pretty good. I think we did okay. Having the pink up was throwing us off a little bit, I think. I think I have different 98, but I need to do it on paper because it's in my head. 98, yeah, different 98 would be cool, too. Starting from where, Casey? But 98 is not bad. So, so far, what we're finding out is breaking it into smaller groups, just like life really, just deal with, deal with your problems in small chunks and put it together instead of trying to get everything done in one shot. We're getting closer to 100. Yeah. Or the one we went around, we got the 99, didn't we? What did we get on the last one? No, we got 96 on the last one, right? 98. What fed into that? This guy, 77, 58, 65, 84 fed into this. Where is our 85? 85's up there. 85. Now, we got 98. We're happy with that. Backing up to 74. Wow, Casey. I think that'd be like a nightmare going back to 74 right now. For a different 98. That's cool, though. Where is our 74? I think it's back here. There it is. Cool. That's not bad. 98 gang. We got a 99 and 98. I'm happy with that. That's pretty sweet. It was hard fought at the end. Seriously, hard fought. Exhausting. You're up for the 100 before stream, then? Oh, we're at two hours now, Nicholas. We're at two hours now. I am. Are you spotted, T? Let's do it. Okay. Okay. You know what I'm not going to do? I'm not going to end the recording. Okay. Gang. We have someone that's completed this and they're going to lay out where we're going to go and we're going to lay it all down. Okay. Ready for this? I'm not sure how many people are going to stick around for live stream for this, but we're going to do this. So I'm going to take this guy down. Okay. And we're going to record it. I don't know if I should say bye to you guys right now because I'm going to add this to the end, but maybe if I decide to edit this later, thanks for sticking around. Thank you for watching this video and I'll see you guys in the next video. Okay. Bye for now if we're not going to add it, but I might end up adding this at the end of this video, right? So I'm going to take this down. I want to see 100. I'm excited to see this. Okay. Let's do it. I hope I recorded my notes correct. Oh man. Okay. I got to take this down. I have enough stickies. Oh yeah, we've got enough stickies for ASMR. We're getting pretty excited. My personal best is 99. Never figured out 100. I hope I record it back.
