So tonight we have a treat.  I'm sorry, so this what was your name guys I'm actually covering a company logo. So don't think I'm trying to how do you say the slides right now? but I was here for the gift seminar And I actually brought a friend with me that was struggling with some stuff and just getting delivered and it was getting late Mike ran along with that one, but it was good and Towards me, and I was like well, I'll go like no no go get your go get your delivery So I came up here, and I was like, okay, so some little things are coming out You know, had these minor things taken off and as I go to walk away, brother Mike grabbed me and he was like, you're not done That's the first time he's actually interacted with me. It was kind of intimidating and I was like, okay, I guess I'm not so then Karina comes over between it's like All right, let's work on this and she's gone through it with me and you know one of the questions more common You haven't forgiven your aunt and I'm like girl. No, I'm not a new a newbie at this I'm already like taking care of on that. I already like figured all that out I think but I had a little bit of odd I already prepared so I cried a little let it go towards a broken family situation that I have and She's like, okay, and I tell her a little bit more And she's like well And as soon as she got that out of her mouth I started wailing this like unheard of whale to where I'm looking at Karina like that ain't me And she's like just coming against it. I'm like, oh my god And I'm like, praise God, but I don't know what's going on. It's flowing out of me. It's coming from the pit of my gut it's like this I can't even describe feeling but what Karina didn't know it's because During that time of her discernment of being able to help me do that delivering All that happened in that present it was setting me up to be able to Come back together with my family, which I've been like Jonah on the run from And God's been trying to tell me like spread my word then you need to go back to them And I'm like, oh, I hope that I can you don't understand. It's so hard You don't need to tell God if you don't understand But sure enough after that deliverance from that ought as able to and I started with my family I sent some holidays with them and some family get together with them and I am spreading the word there And there's like no hard feelings about it. I feel great. So thank you. Praise God great place Testing one two three. Hey, good evening Deliverance centerites. Welcome to the service tonight. I've got a very odd Bible story study all prepared for you Tonight And you're gonna enjoy it very much Assuming the audio keeps working Rain's gotten That was a nice testimony What was unusual about that testimony was kind of the emotional physical activities that go along with deliverance and What she was describing there really is what caused churches to throw deliverance out and What she was saying there is what people don't like They don't like it and So the devil came up with a new process of healing where They've got all these inner healers running around the country Once I'm here in Phoenix and they've they're trying to figure out a method of deliverance That is nice and calm and sweet and quiet So that's just nice and smooth They did the same thing with salvation They kind of watered the message down and made it real easy to get saved So anybody want to get saved? I do Okay, save this prayer with me Dear Jesus, please remiss now to receive you more and savior. Where are you gone? Say you're saved See, and that's what the church does they try to make everything easy sweet nice pleasant Happy that's what church people like happy sweet nice and pleasant That's why not too many people come here. We don't have any church programs here We're not anti Christ.  See you talk yourself into it. I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe there you go. You believe and They don't believe Everything in Christianity is not just simple easy sweet nice And there's nothing that can be done about it unless you want to do it like the church does and just make it water it down And then it becomes ineffective and it doesn't work right and the people aren't really being helped and Church is not fun if you do it right all the time. There's some tough tough things in turn Some people don't want to receive truth Some people don't even want to hear it. So that puts me in a bad spot. I got to get right on the face That's why they call me lucky And you got to get these people don't listen and if they don't listen, they're not going to get healed So I got to push them Sometimes, you know, it's just like raising kids Anybody here got kids? Nobody, okay.  I care about them So I'm yelling at these people From the demons of blocked Receiving truth and it's a very similar to a racquetball game Bang boom. I hit him with a bag of truth. Boom.  This isn't church church is a fantasy world Of hopes and dreams and wishes This is a real world. There's some people are sick here What am I talking about therefore how to get off on that? Let's get back to this right here I got lost on another subject. I don't know what happened to me. I Never do know what happens to me. I really know Where am I now? Oh, but announcements All right That's a normal announcement and here's another announcement Every day I'm on the radio Monday through Monday. I'm on the weekends now on 10 10 a.m. And I am also on The internet 100% of the time all day every day You can click there on the website and go to the radio station I'm also on the internet radio on Sunday nights now. This is my new ministry. I started here last Sunday Sunday The first show had 147 listeners So Bible says don't despise small beginnings. I'm happy with 140. So I got no problem with that I don't mind starting out small. I'm used to starting low and little and you know work your way up You got to start at the bottom because that's the best place to learn That's the way life is if you want to help the ministry out you can donate money to us free to switch over from Google the good search putting in hardcore Christianity and If you buy anything off Amazon, you can do the same thing for us.  Was that Robert? That's what I thought We get a dollar 20 out of it. I did Lord just dropped me a word of knowledge So if you put in hardcore Christianity, you can help us out and you can also help by donating on the website God bless you. I will be in Alabama this month. I'll see you there. I will not be in Casa Grande That thing canceled my guess is the pastor of the church probably looked at my website filled Filled as depends Went to the bathroom to change came back and canceled the service Normally happens to me. All right. Now. Let's go to the Bible study. Let's have some fun tonight Jehovah's an interesting person. Oh That's an understatement and if you look through the Old Testament You're seeing someone who has a my goodness a wide range of emotions Jehovah did and one of his emotions was Serious anger Josh he got mad. I mean mad mad Matters that we've ever been I used to have anger spirits and Comes from different marriages We'll go into that later. That's it the other somewhere But anyway, I used to have anger spirits. I have never been as mad as Yahweh Never have never been as mad as God. I mean not even close have I been that man never I'll prove it to you first thing in chapter 6 God told King David. Hey go get the Ark of the Lord King David's absolutely whatever you tell me to do I'm gonna do it He goes gets the Ark of the Lord. He brings it back the oxen are taking the thing over some rough ground, right? It's not I 10 freeway and Guess what this thing starts to rock back and forth and the Ark of the Lord starts to fall off the trailer and A good guy Oza reaches out and stops this thing True because he didn't want the thing to fall in the ground and break or whatever it was Whatever reason he did it. He was I'm sure it was out of probably out of a good heart. He was trying to help So to speak and guess what happened Guess what happened?  I have never been that man. I've been close to it. I Give you their names, but what's point? He's dead in an instant. Well King David freaked when that happened. He freaked after that. Oh my god Never saw anybody get so mad so quick But we're not done Psalm 74. Oh God, why have you cast us off forever? Why does your anger? smoke Against the sheep of your pastor pastor. What's he talking about Jews? God's chosen people matter than a hornet at them for their sin and their idolatry. I mean furious Jeremiah chapter 7 just says the Lord behold my anger and my fury Shall be poured out in this place upon man and beast and trees Fruits of the grout you name it. Yeah, you got to be pretty mad To start ruling trees. I mean that's that's fury Get mad at trees Because trees Really aren't doing anything Please don't do anything. I don't think they know I don't think they know who you are. I Can't prove that don't send me an email But in my opinion only I don't think plants know who you are I don't think they have emotions like weed I don't think they think I don't think Man, I'll tell you what You're married to somebody that Loses their temper and sees something that's throwable and then goes for it and then throws it Nobody has Yahweh is so mad He's so angry. He's so furious. He's killing animals and trees Now that's plenty mad sir. That's madder than I've ever been. I've never Never killed a tree I haven't I don't even think I've had a thought of killing a tree now I have had some trees. I tried to plant and get them to grow and they didn't grow and they were kind of dying So I just kind of snuck over the waste basket and Got rid of them. That's more like a slow execution, but I wasn't doing it in anger I was doing because I don't have a green thumb God is killing Fruit of the ground. He's so mad. He can't even see straight. Why these Jews are driving him crazy. They keep Going into idolatry and sinning. He's furious about it Zekeo chapter 13 does says the Lord God I will rend it with a stormy wind in my fury Now God is so mad. He's so angry. He's using the weather To blow stuff around that's how mad he is now. That's pretty mad.  You can't do anything about it. He can kill trees these fruit Pornados lightning. I mean that's mad. God's mad Furious anger We're not playing around here Check this one out Jeremiah 42. That says the Lord Of hosts the God of Israel my anger and my fury is poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem Now he's coming after the Jews who live in Jerusalem. He's so mad So shall my fury He poured out upon you When you enter into Egypt Wow these some of these Jews wanted to go back to Egypt that just He was steaming when he got that one Steaming mad raging mad I'll tell you what Jehovah's Jehovah does have him a temper if you push his buttons man. He was getting angry You will be an excretion What is that an Allah? What is an Allah?  That's an excretion That is that is a person that sucks so bad. They don't even have a name anymore.    I mean that's somebody who is furious We're talking about we're not talking about somebody's getting angry here. We're talking about somebody who's blowing their stack Genesis 38 It came to pass when Anon went into his brother's wife What was he doing in there? Well? Any kids here tonight? Okay, they're having intercourse and Yahweh's commission to the Jews was what? Be fruitful and multiply Well her husband died and so Jehovah had said listen if This guy dies the brother comes in and keeps the family going right so he goes in he's having intercourse He pulls out and jaculates on the ground in an instant in an instant Jehovah freaks Freaks out and Kills him. I'll tell you what that'll cut down your love life Yes, ah, yo boy that wraps it up there Number 16 the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up Cora Starts criticizing mosey didn't like it way he's running the show That was me a lot people coming at them.  Why are you yelling at the people? Why'd you grab that one? What I get all kinds of criticisms Well, I don't get anything near Moses again.  We're we can start our own group. We're like Moses and Moses is a screw-up and so hey No problem. Let's replace the dude Well Jehovah comes down. He says hey Have everybody come out tomorrow stand over here. You stand over there. I'll settle this for you Okay, nobody knows. He's furious All of a sudden sitting the joke The earth opens up oh All the way down to the center of the earth where hell is and their whole family all the families fall Down this massive tavern into the bowels of hell alive I Thought the Red Sea was a big miracle the Red Sea was mouse and mick compared to this miracle You split the planet earth open all the way down to hell. You know how deep the center of the earth is for God's sakes That's a hike. What were they doing? Once a pedophiles runner up.  You want us to replace him?  Yes, sir. How does Yahweh get that mad? He was never married I don't get it, but listen We're talking about anger here that's inconceivable No human can compare to Jehovah the Hebrew God when it comes to anger. It's not happening. It's not possible. Trust me Look, I'm just reading the scriptures. Don't get mad at me Numbers 12 the anger of the Lord was killed against him and he departed and the cloud departed off the tavern I go well happened again. It wasn't core anymore.   No problem. Oh, it's a problem in this group Big problem here his sister stabbing in the back And she was a prophet Her brother his brother stabbed him in the back. He was the high priest of Israel the top guy They said we don't like Moses. You know why? He married in Ethiopia.  What are you nuts? You married a black? God people were appalled Now it is. It's no big deal There's nothing to it now, but back then they had it Moses fell in love with this Hot-looking babe from Ethiopia Yeah, that's right. I'm not an expert on Ethiopia And girls for this gal had to bet a knockout Yeah, I bet you Ethiopian women are hot Well, I'll bet you this one was spoken Because Moses married her and guess what happened his sister a prophet and his brother the high priest The biggest man in all of Israel number one guy didn't like Ethiopian women Jehovah heard about that and uh-oh They pushed his button You can push people button, but Jehovah the Hebrew God. He's the last person on your list to push his button That's the last person push that button. They pushed it. Guess what happened? Well Jehovah didn't do anything to Aaron because he had on the high priest robe and he was covered He had the anointing covering so Aaron got off of it Miriam didn't have the room bang in an instant of fury Start turned into stage four leprosy right in front of them and the cloud of glory left wine He got mad I mean mad mad And they took Moses a while to talk him off the ledge Can we all agree? Maybe you don't That in the Old Testament Yahweh had of multi-layered personality for obvious Obviously and one of those layers was extreme Anger towards him all these incidents of anger and rage and fury were provoked Got me notice that he never did it on his own somebody provoked him into it. That's how mad he got Somebody came to him and spit in the face and when they did it That dad did it He blew up That's what the Bible says you read the Bible. That's what it you don't believe me. Look them verses of yourself frightened by I read the Bible Guess what? Bible strange isn't that Matthew chapter 11 from the days of John the Baptist until now Jesus said the kingdom of heaven suffers be odd so That's a mob pressing in people pressing in crashing in and the Violent take it by Harpazo, that's the Greek word for the rapture. It means to snatch or seize Snatch it people are pushing in to the kingdom of God and they're taking it by force. They're snatching it They're not asking it for it Why I've been doing it too the dispensation of grace has now arrived with John the Baptist and the dispensation of law is now over and y'all ways massive temper Came to a halt a new season started Yes, sir for all the prophets and the law prophesied until What in the world happened Luke chapter 4 Isaiah 61 it says it here something's changing here the spirit of the Lord God's upon me because the Lord same Lord that blew his stack and killed and opened up hell The Lord has has anointed me to preach good tidings To the meek and he sent me to bind the broken hearted and to proclaim liberty to the captives Ephesians 2 Jesus has abolished in His flesh be what? Hostility extra extra is hostility The hostility and abolish means what yeah, it means to it wipe out or erase See, I just wiped that line up there see that now I erased it notice that I catargeo. I removed it In his body What did he remove? toward human beings the hostility and The law of the commandments and he took the two and Made them one Jews Gentiles After he made them one. He's he did what he created a new man and instead of getting Dropped into hell God now brought me Something James Jehovah has changed here That he might reconcile both to God Through what his body on the cross of Calvary and The enmity extra of the hostility They went with the law Who are violated the law and Jehovah blew his Deck right out of the skies Split the ground open and through those people into hell a lie. It's the only time it's ever That's hostility Yeah, that's beyond marriage.  Oh boy These rotten sinners need to be stoned and then burned and count Because these things these people doing these sins really make God mad Let's see how mad he gets here when the Pharisees saw saw this They said to the disciples, why does your teacher did ask you the why does he why does he eat with?  God's not going Rage on him notice notice something's different here. What is it? They're the same people these are Jews sinful Jews Simple Jews drive you nuts Joe Jehovah flat-out nuts Wait a minute. I came to save sinner. What are you doing? This is odd. How about career criminals? Here's some pictures of crucifixions from antiquities. These are actual artifacts They put the leg of course on the side of the Cross and then they pounded your leg in this way So that your feet were like that normally the pictures have them like that That's not how they did it because the ankles wouldn't go flat They just put your legs there the pole there and they put your heels on either side of it then they knocked the spike Through your ankles from the outside in so as you're on the cross of the cross is here On the back Coming up that right and that's an actual foot With part of this form of the spike in and that's what form of spikes Roman spikes look like Kind of interesting. Well, I thought it was Here's another one. That's a close-up of a deteriorated ankle bone that had that spike through it and Then they'd knock it through the wood and then you bent it on the other side And it over so the thing wouldn't fall out That one there has been bent.   I mean, there's an art to killing people And you got to go through a certain skill set to develop it just like any other profession You can't just run out and start killing people.  Oh that that makes Jehovah's so mad.  Boom That's a core ideal Is it a is it now a core ideal? Wow, what are you talking about now? This Jew is blasphemy Blasphemy was blaspheming Jesus. He was blasphemy in the Son of God That did it Now you know Jehovah's gonna go freaked out crazy, right? You know, he's in trouble now The other said hey, what are you doing? The other criminal had some common sense. He said hey listen. We have the same cream of judgment We're in the same judgment of death. He is we are all hung on these crosses Then he says We deserve this but he doesn't he said Lord remember me when you come into your kingdom wait a minute God Jehovah used to remember people by splitting the earth up and dropping them in the hill He would kill him instantly in fury if they touched the Ark of the covenant. They fall over debt Something's changed here Wow this criminal who should have been murdered Jesus says to him today you will be with me and parodicists Something's changed here. This is not the normal now Something's wrong here. Oh adulteries. Oh, that's it In the Old Testament. You were done man. You get caught committing adultery. Oh Brother it was nasty. It was nasty. They would take you out of town and Then they would dig a hole put you in it fill the hole up and then everybody in town Would start throwing rocks at your head It's where the old-fashioned saying came from have you got rocks in your head? They literally had rocks in the head and the person that threw the first stone was the one that was violated in the adultery So if your wife was out doing a guy the husband who was affronted he threw the first stone at the adulterers During the execution process and that was it Jehovah hated don't know he's furious about that.  She wasn't a lesbian We know she was a wife a gunay. I know what you're thinking. Why do I find myself interested in these kind of details? Well, it's a good question. I'm not sure we caught her in the very act and it says Moses and the law says God is steaming mad over that and As a result of that they are to be stoned period But what do you say? Oh something's changed now. I know something's changed now These are actual pictures in Afghanistan of women who were accused of adultery and back in Afghanistan And you don't have to have any proof.  They were executed The Bible said in Exodus 19 and do run 13. Hey, it was capital offense stone them down. That's it period God's mad in the Old Testament and it says They were tempting him so they might accuse him of contradicting the law of Moses. So Jesus then does what? says he stoopes down with his finger and he starts to write in the ground no one knows what he wrote but I think he wrote was Sin that that person was doing that was standing there looking at him Yacob, you know thief And he looks up at him any bends over again pedophile Zacusus he looks at it What was the law doing? But what it's supposed to do point out sin So Jesus was using the law They were using against this poor girl the process was all jacked up Because if they were both caught in the act both were taken Before the council and both were taken out Town and stoned together. Well, this is jacked up. It's now only the girls here What exactly happened? I don't know it doesn't say but something's fishy And it says when they continued asking him they weren't asking him arrow tail means to Interrogate someone Uh-huh now we're into the marriage. Yes Where were you? What time was it? When did you get back? How'd you get them when you coming up? What are you doing? What am I doing there talking to a wife on the phone? But what is she doing to me arrow tarot she's interrogating What's going on in Washington? There everybody's interrogating everybody there see and they're letting Jesus have one after the other boom boom boom boom boom boom boom You not saying anything But he is saying something This guy's interrogating him. So he writes down And this guy's barking at him. So he writes down something about him. Well, this little process. He goes through Brings in the conviction of the Holy Ghost Hey, let's do it this way those of you who don't have any sin and you have it because I just wrote it out for you Why don't you throw the first stone?  Eliezer bolts for the K mark He stoops down he writes on the ground and they which heard being convicted by their conscience Oh, what a great thing a conscience is isn't it? You ever met a Christian? It doesn't have a conscience anymore They are messed up They are messed up How does a Christian get a bad conscience two ways? They get saved and they don't go through deliverance and they don't go through repentance initially or be the backslide Something happens of the first and their conscience isn't working anymore And so they're doing stuff that no born-again Christian would normally do they're committing sins that is Is obviously wrong, but they don't feel it anymore They don't feel it anymore habit may have may have dulled it Other emotions may have dulled it something's happened But if you've got a conscience and you're convicted as a Christian and you are a blessed person Your future is right Having a conscience that works And you can have a ministry if you've got a conscience that works you know it You can be in the ministry someday You could be trusted with the Moving of the spirit someday if you have a conscience If you share your conscience, you just sinning and you don't feel anything anymore.  Hey, this is a sin. That's a sin. They're not feeling anything. They're those guys are in trouble They're in deep trouble if you've got a conscience and you've got conviction. Wow, that's a moment of celebration for you good for you That's a positive What doesn't feel that good? Well It doesn't matter. It's still a positive some things that don't feel good are good for you and Once a one by one they all left Jesus standing there with a woman in the midst meaning that the accusers left the disciples stayed and it says when Jesus lifted up Anacupato means to unbend He was bent over and he unbended He looks around he says Good day life. Where are your accusers? Well, what do you mean where what about Jehovah Jehovah's matter than to hornet at me I was in committing adultery Wait a minute, or is he mad at him? He's not mad at has no man catechrino judged you and sentenced you Crino means to judge catechrino means to judge and condemn and sentence That means to find them guilty guilty of murder boom Sentence to boom 45 years in jail Take him away That's the difference Catechrino, yeah, Jesus. Hey, are these people the people condemned you and sentenced you to death? Well, Jehovah sure sentenced The guy touched the Ark. He sure sentenced Cora Miriam got a load of leprosy But wait a minute here is God a respecter a person knowing something's changed here Think about this here. Hmm No man's here to judge me and condemn me and sentence me Lord Jesus said neither do I judge you and condemn you and sentence you what?  Here's what's mind-boggling about this the Old Testament Yahweh is now the New Testament Person speaking in red ink in your Bible there the same person Something's changed there Jehovah's not the same person. He was before something's different here Huh Zacchaeus another crooked lying thieving Jew Boy Jehovah slaughtered these in droves, didn't he? died in droves in the Old Testament Luke chapter 19 Jesus entered Jericho behold a man named Zacchaeus the chief among the publicans he was a Telonis is a tax farmer somebody who farms for money Nowadays we call him con artists Arctelonis is a supervisor of people who farm for money see Yeah This would be the dawn and these would be the mafia Mafiosos and the dawn would be here. He was a dawn in the mafia system He was like one of the godfathers so to speak of his territory Okay, right at the used to have the five families in New York each one of them had a godfather over each one of them, right? This guy was like a godfather. He wasn't a regular tax collector. No, no, he wasn't like Matthew Matthew was down here Zacchaeus was up here and he was rich He had a lot of money and Mafioso people they're rich. They steal everybody else's money and they keep it themselves It says he he sought to see Jesus now. Here's where the Christian system collapses You notice this here's where Christianity in America just falls completely apart Stinks so bad.  Oh How you doing brother good brother sister Let's praise the Lord Darn it the beans No, not Zacchaeus. He was not an American Christian. He was determined to find God Unlike Christians in America. They just casually roll in and expect God to fall out of the heavens Triple axel over to them. So what did he do?  What do you do? Sure. He ran before him and climbed into a Sukhumore a mulberry tree He climbs up the tree. Yeah, why is he doing that? Well shorter people are usually better climbers You know like poor Rick over there, let's say you got Rick mad, okay, he He's got a little bit of Jehovah in him Yes, I don't know that personally because I don't go there. I always treat him very nice I'd recommend you do the same But he's got a little Jehovah in there and he's got a lot of little fire See but if I'm trying to get away from me down the hall my odds are not good, but if I can climb somewhere You could get away from Rick and piss him off good That's right because small guys are better climbers. He's too big So Zacchaeus a tiny guy and he's up this tree like a ferret When Jesus came to the place. He looks up in the Mulberry tree sees teeny guy up there He's to come down.  Why why did Jesus choose him and not all these other people? Because the other people were just gawkers lookers curiosity seekers. Hmm. Zacchaeus was eagerly and aggressively searching for God How come you don't have anything from God because you're not eagerly and Aggressively searching for God So he passes up everybody else like he God does every Sunday and goes right to the person hunting for Come down here. You're my guy What's your background? Oh, you should have been stoned.  Here's a mulberry tree in Israel. Here's an actual tree That's probably the exact tree climbed up. I read that on Google now Luke chapter 19. Here we go He says make case come on come down quickly. See you can tell he's not like Rick Let's say Rick did get up a tree. He's not coming down fast It's like that nature videos. Have you ever seen lions some of the female lions?  How is he in shape hauling money bags denariah to the bank?  They're just too busy gawking and murmuring about you Happens all the time Yeah, Ganguzo they grumbled their grumblers Every family has grumblers in it. Oh Look at him. He's dining. He's eating with sinners He can't be from Jehovah Well, how do you know that what just reading the Bible? Don't you remember Korra? Don't you remember the guy that studied the Ark? Oh, they got Jehovah gets mad. I mean real Madison There's no grace there.  He should have his hands cut off Moses said cut Zacchaeus goes to the dinner. He listens to Jesus teaching and guess what happens to him.   Then if you're going after go, that's a big conscience people don't have a conscience God oh Repent of what? Your conscience is dead.     Wow now that's a yep Back in the 1940s Billy Graham went to that Baptist Bible school He was a southern Baptist They're big on repentance and salvation really good on it. He read that story. He goes wait a minute here. Yeah We got to make the people confess their sins They got to ask God to forgive them. We got to make them do it in public. So he comes up with this idea to have these Massive altar calls and it swept everywhere. Everybody had an altar call. It's a good idea. It's a great idea Everybody uses it. What are they doing there? He confesses in public? That was impressive See You know America Christians don't want to do that. I just want to go off to the side. Listen. I want to talk to you I Don't want to Brother Mike I need to talk to you. You're my card Mike is my card my mic's on but your conscience is off Not Zacchaeus man. Oh man. He was eagerly hunting for God You know you can have miracles you can have your destiny you can have your healing You can have your deliverance if you're eagerly hunting for God, you know what you get when you don't have it the normal thing nothing Zacchaeus wasn't having that Uh-uh. He was looking for a miracle. He was going to get saved no matter what and He's taking advantage of this odd change in Jehovah His personality seemed to have changed something happened to he must have took a chill pill I'm gonna restore them four fold which was the price of stealing a sheet in Exodus 22 and Jesus said You are now a born again Christian What was he doing there he confessed Billy Graham caught it he confessed He repented Right and Billy Graham's crusades. He didn't want to go too heavy in repentance If you want to offend anybody, but he would actually mention that word he would say repent Many good, but I mean he was a you know the decent try He showed his repentance. See when repeat people truly repent you can see it Their behavior changes their vocabulary change their attitude change He changed Right in front of everybody and he wasn't ashamed to do it in public That's how you knew it was real see if I do it in private I can always sneak out the back and Start sinning again Let's pray about amen out the door they're gonna masturbate You come up here with that, you know, I got a bad problem of masturbation brother Listen, you got to talk to Rick I don't do that kind of heavy-duty sin up here that person coming out publicly Because his conscience is pushing him to a miracle from God that person You can be sure is going to get healed and save that person you can trust long-term not this person It's a little too deep for these people I'll tell you what the Son of Man came to seek and to save same Greek word Oh, don't you see it?  Can't you see the motivation in the behavior? Of course you can people's motivation is reflected in their attitude and their behavior Duh, I came to seek people who are fooling me are in the process of being destroyed And if you're living in sin, you are in the process of being destroyed.  Oh gosh these people They got excommunicated Matthew 8 when Jesus came to the other side of the country to the Durgacinas They're mad him somebody possessed with devils and they came out of the tombs. They were exceedingly fierce Calipus they're dangerous. Hey, no kidding some patients with borderline personality disorder Paranoid schizophrenia These people sometimes go get guns and they go into movie theaters and sometimes they go into schools and you find 10 15 20 people dead Some of these people are dangerous Yeah, there's some dangerous demons how the there's murder spirits sweeping through our society right now murder gamons They love killing people. It makes them feel good These guys were right there paranoid schizophrenia borderline personality. Now. Here's something interesting These two maniacs were actually here Gurgasa notice that in mark 5. They were down here the maniac of Gadar a few different places similar stories and These kind of people here were people that I've worked with a few times this was a ministry I worked with out in Los Angeles called the Jonah project You've never heard of it, but this guy here. I had prayed for him a year or so before he started that ministry he got and delivered and He started this homeless ministry and was going great, but the problem was He was doing things a little shady Not real shady, you know the city of Los Angeles requires you to meet certain building codes If you're going to use a building for public use and You know, there's other things considered in the city Los Angeles they have Sanitation requirements and different Rick know Rick does construction. He could list the whole thing out for you But you know, there's a lot of stuff you've got to meet building codes and different Stuff like that that has to be done before I can start putting a bunch of people in to a facility, right? Yeah, I was in this room right here when when we first bought this building and Kelly was here Rick was here two other people were here Three others. Why don't we have big discussion popped up? Are we going to put the seats Like this are we going to put the seats starting there back now, you know that this ministry is run by Road scholars. I know what you're thinking. This is like dang these people are Some bright suckers here. Oh Yeah, and we went into a long debate over it. Shall we have this and that I'm just listening to everybody's opinion Everybody's getting all worked up. This or saying this and that and I'm just sitting here thinking because I don't know what to do Well, one of the things that came up was a zoning You can only have there's certain requirements for you can only have so many chairs for so many Parking lots for so much this so many baths so many hot every there's all these regulations with the city That I don't know anything about Don't care much about Well, I said hey we got to do what's right because I don't want to get in trouble I don't want to cheat and Pull a stunt and get caught In trouble, how do I do that? Thank you for your applause Well my buddy here not gonna mention the name didn't see it like I saw so He's he's putting homeless people in this building down there and they're feeding Pete. They got a food kitchen They got people are staying there residential and he doesn't have the proper permits Licenses codes whatever the city of LA requires a bunch of technical crap and He ran the thing for like a year or so I went down there and had a deliverance service And then I had a bunch of private counseling services and it went pretty good not great, but good and Year or so later before I could come back for another service. He got caught and Just shut the whole the city came in and locked it right up There was there was bed bugs there was problems with Too many people per room too many beds per room, too. They had all kinds of restrictions and he was violating them Oh, he was just trying to help people. Well, he wasn't doing it because he was a rotten person He was doing it because he cared about the people and they didn't have the money to make everything just perfect So he went ahead and did it anyway. He was trying. I mean the guy had a good heart But his conscience It he was a recovering drug addict and he hadn't finished his deliverance and his conscience Wasn't speaking to him saying hey Wait a minute here. It was God going to have me set up a ministry if I have to cheat my way through it If that makes any sense, so that's a good question to have if you have to cheat your way through something That may be a red flag you want to avoid it That's an example of a conscience not working There's more homeless people right down near his mission in LA there That they now have more homeless people down there than ever the total is now over 60,000 people Home of 60,000 how many people live in in Gilbert? How many people living you? Gilbert 85,000 Can you imagine that a city almost as big as Gilbert is a homeless downtown Los Angeles and inconceivable and The spirits start panicking and they start yelling at Jesus. What do you what are you doing here? What's going on here? Where's the old Jehovah? What are you doing here?   They're like Zacchaeus. They're pushing it Why because they know their season is coming to an end and That's exactly what he asks God You need to tell me that our seasons up. I Thought it was later. What are you talking about these demons turned into born-again Christians in America? I Thought I had a permanent season. I thought my season went on forever Well, are you kidding me now? It's over. Hold on each body had a heart attack. Oh, I got I've got a stroke Oh my god, I'm old. Oh my goodness. I I'm sick now. Well, what about my season? What?  You only get one Demons only get one season and they know it and they were panicking because they thought their season was up because God was standing there No, your season is not up and said no, I do Oh, what do you do? You're gonna you're furious, right? The I've been Infected this guy and I'm causing in the sin like crazy all the time.   What's good? No, no, no things have changed Things have changed a bunch of pigs way over yonder They said well, we will leave can we go into pigs? I don't understand that completely and there's a lot of different theories on it But it's kind of clear from just that statement that Going into pigs Beat going someplace else Now that someplace else has to be a pretty bad place If you like pigs over that If you like pigs over that you've never been around pigs Uh-huh. You don't know anything about pigs. Let me tell you a little bit about pigs.  They walk like zombies He said hey Mike I Got a new Pig facility you want to see it and I said absolutely Of course, I want to see it. I know anything about pigs.  I like to say He takes me out to Seventy acres away they they owned half the planet it looked like I'm way over there I go into this big beautiful new aluminum building We walk up to the thing and he says here you might want to take one of these What's this rag for well just you might want to put it over your mouth Sometimes the smells a little bit. Are you putting one on? No, I'm fine. Oh, well, I'm fine.  Come on sucka open the doors. You sack of pork open that door Well, he opened the door.  I swear it That was the most horrible smell.  I Could not believe he opened that door. It hit me It hit me. Oh, I thought deals above jumped me It was it wasn't a regular smell. Oh, no, it's far from regular No, it wasn't a it wasn't a feces smell. You have you ever smelled feces everybody has haven't you I mean you Went the roller berthos one day and you came home and something working right and you looked around and oh my lord That's that was bad that Was a bowl of perfume Compared to what I walked into into that new pig building. It was a new building Thank God. It was new. I hate to walk into old one And it hit me I gasped and I'm fumbling for the rag Let me tell you something if you like pigs over going some other place the other place That's a pretty bad place Let me tell you something saying you only got one season and your seasons running out So you were 20 years old just yesterday now you're in your 40s Okay, your time is running out. You're not going to be around much longer You got one season.  He says go ahead and go As long as you leave this person Because I'm healing this guy Well, you're not killing me now some Jehovah has changed folks some thieves changing here I'm seeing a different attitude on God's part in these scriptures. I really am They all ran out and jumped into the sea. Look, it's right here. See This farm must have been somewhere near here and they amongst and went down the slopes there and crashed into the sea of Galilee, right? That's the nearest I can think oh Boy whores or something. Oh God, you got stoned whores Jehovah and whores.  Nobody sat and ate like this Like we do This is how I said it Taco Bell. No Back there everyone was laying at Taco Bell and the food was in the center of the room and everybody laid around the bowls and the little tables and that's how they ate Everybody reclined when they ate because everybody walked everybody but where and they were pooped So they took meals and that was also a time of fellowship and rest and relaxation It was perfectly normal. This woman brings in and a Labestron, what is that? Well, that's good well prostitutes Obviously are like any other profession. I don't know this from experience. I Know it from interviews They There's tears of whores Correct don't answer these questions Holds your ego on these so you got your street whore here and oral sex is easy You know, let's say you're running about 20 bucks 25 bucks here Then you go up the ladder so on to an escort here And then there's different levels of escorts and again, I've only read this and These escorts here are very expensive correct and These these are not like these where you meet them out on grand Avenue these are scheduled These are at the penthouse Etc. Well She was one of these up in this area here She was a higher class horse in the speed How do we know that could because she had these a labestrom was a very expensive product and The perfume that they put in these boxes these boxes cost a lot of money and the perfume also cost a lot of money So you could she could tell she wasn't a an impoverished Horror, I mean there's a possibility she was and maybe she stole it But to me it just doesn't make any sense and they would also use this this a lavastron for other things too Basins and pottery jewelry different things. It was very expensive. It was imported from Egypt And it was very soft stone easy to car Very expensive luxurious is the way they saw it luxurious And she stood at his feet behind him weeping that was poorly translated Clio means to wail Wailing is different than weeping Weeping is more of a quiet introverted semi-silent thing sniffling weeping Clio is wailing out loud Crying out loud so everybody can hear you a disastrous type cry, right? Well, this is occurring as you know in the middle of a dinner Well, all the disciples are there and all the Pharisees are there and they're all laying around Except the servants are there and then she comes in there. She goes up behind him here And stands behind his feet are here. He's laying that way, right? That's what it says she comes behind him at his feet and She's not going over there quietly with proper etiquette She's wailing for God's mercy She's not like an American Christian. Could I be say please? Oh, I can't okay. I'll go home No, some people who are desperate for God, they don't just casually take no for answer and then leave See Zacchaeus wasn't about to take a no for an answer. He was gonna push his way in Zatel He was eagerly and aggressively hunting for God. This woman made Zacchaeus look weak She walks into a den of lions everybody there looked at her like she was a piece of garbage Horses were at the bottom of their society and she walks right over to the guests of honor. I'll tell you that took some guts They invited him. He's the guest of honor She goes right over to him. Oh and and she's not even acting properly at the formal dinner. Oh, no She's wailing Okay, so everybody in the room is feeling very uncomfortable with her She's a whore. Nobody likes that. She's wailing and Begging God for a miracle. No Christians don't like that. They don't like other Christians pressing in the God.  They're standing back co-lady Wondering hmm, let me think about the proper way to approach the almighty Let me let me collate and foster that in my mind for a moment.  They'll push their way in and they're not they don't worry about your social mornings They're not too interested in your social tradition Christians are though. Oh, how should I act here? How should I walk here shot? What should I wear here? What do we wear at church?  They don't care what the audio is Not interested Not interested. They're interested in a miracle. It's all they care. There it is And she starts washing his feet with her tears more of an embarrassment You don't do that. That's totally out of order. That's massively The servants washed the guests feet when they first came in at the door That was a tradition you wash your feet at the door.   No problem. Well not this woman She comes in uninvited You know what people are really want a miracle from God are always uninvited by Satan They're always uninvited to the party. They're never wanted there The problem is the devil can't stop him. See he's only got a certain amount of power and If you determine through your free will to get a miracle God, he can't stop you She shows up uninvited. She just butts her way She hunts him down there. He is she heads over there crying and whaling soon as she lays her eyes on me She sees him as he's our miracle from God Why she knows what I know tonight something had changed from Jehovah He wasn't acting the same way he did in the Old Testament because she would have been taken out stone This person laying there Wasn't getting up saying abomination Stoner. Oh, no totally different attitude something odds going on She kisses his feet. Oh, that's totally appropriate. Oh That's embarrassing That's embarrassing the only time in America here. We are allowed to kiss feet in public as if it's a baby Have you ever done that? Boo boo boo boo You ever done that? No, just me nobody else had kids. I hat kids. I grabbed my daughter's feet My daughter Tracy's watching I used to grab her feet.  So here's where I in my mind. She's up here or not down here on the ladder of whores You know, there was a ladder, didn't you? You wouldn't believe the stuff you learn coming here. No one believes it She's up here because she's got an alabaster box that cost a lot of money and moran costs a lot of money so that that was used for higher paying guests Okay, the van buren gals 20 bucks for oral There's no alabaster box and fancy perfumes or parades out on grant Don't don't say anything, please I want anybody to know that you know what i'm talking about But this part up here. This is cash money So this gal is a high class whore and in fact The awkward level jumped up 15 or 16 octaves When some of her clients were there one of them probably simon the Pharisee invited jesus and vener Now that's awkward So when the Pharisees Had asked him to come they started to speak to themselves And they said to themselves If this guy was a prophet translation, he's not one Because he doesn't know who is touching him This this whore is not only touching him She's rubbing his feet Kissing his feet and weeping on them and cleaning them off with her hair Wow, this is embarrassing she's a sinner Jesus heard As god hears you every day You don't say it out loud. He still hears you the holy ghost hears what you're thinking He sees your intentions And he knows what you're thinking and what you're intending to do and jesus says to him Hey, I want to ask you a question. He says teacher go ahead ask me He says hey, there was two guys that were Oh and money and one of them owed 500 Benarion the other one owed in 50 he forgave both of them Which one of those? Agapao showed more love Which one of those two would he have showed more love to Agapao, that's a greek verb for love Showing love which which of the two would have showed more love to the and he says well probably He says the guy who was forgiven more Those are denarion You know roman stuff stamped on him Simon said i suppose the one who was forgiven the most and jesus said you're right Yeah, you're right Can't you can't you see that? Can't you see that? You say you say to yourself. Well, I was a this person sinned at this level, but I sinned at this level My I'm the worst sinner there is First Corinthians chapter one. Don't just see that god was looking for this person first and this one second Why? Because the first person forgiven more Usually shows more love in appreciation For being forgiven Don't you understand? Can't you see it?  She what what did she do say a couple cuss words 30 years ago? Damn it. I can't believe it. Oh grandma. What do you do?  That's the one the holy ghost runs over and grabs. That's who he's looking for Nasty sinners filthy sinners Wait a minute. Jehovah used to kill them. Oh not anymore things have changed now Things have changed How god deals with whores has completely changed it shows it right here. I'll show I'll prove it to you You see this woman he rolls over and points at her. They're laying down. She's on her knees probably He said hey when I got here you didn't even give me the normal customary Procedure of a host you didn't even wash my feet off when I showed up Why didn't he do that? Well the other Pharisees we're going to hear about this dinner and he's got a rep if he looks like he's Pouring extra affection on this yashua It looks like he's one of his followers. Well if I look like a follower That puts me on the outs With the Pharisees So I'm not even going to treat this guy with the decency That I would normally treat a stranger who was passing through a normal traveler would get their feet washed You're not getting that holy smoke. This story is so great I can't even put it into words The rottenest stinkingest sinner in the neighborhood was the only person that got saved that day All of the religious church people went home with nothing Exactly You didn't even wash my feet a total stranger would come here a jewish customer as you would wash their feet I came here. I am I am the son of god. I am the rabbi. You called me teacher. You didn't wash my feet That's what happens to boarding in christians. It's so sad. They're saved for a while and it's so sick Isn't it sick? Oh god, if you're running your christians, it's saved for a long time.  They went back to a bunch of bad habits now. They're sinning again They've lost their first love. They're going through the church motions. God.  Oh my goodness the angels were down there that night I really believe that bunch of angels were looking at that whore going. Wow. That's amazing. Look at that now that That's how you treat god The angels were taking notes. My goodness. No, that's how that's how I should have treated jehovah.  She's wiping my feet with her You didn't even give me the anointing oil.  She took her profession Her alabaster box cost a fortune the moron cost a fortune on top of that. She broke that box Saying saying I am never going to whore myself out ever again. What was she doing like zakius did? She repented like zakius did and she did it in public not like a Mickey Mouse christian in america Mother Mike I like her Can somebody forgive me right now christianity in this country is jacked up No offense.  She sacrificed everything for me You wouldn't even wash my feet at the door You were so used to having a rabbi over to yourself What's the sad point in that story christians are so sick They've been saved so long.  A lot of it was basic human nature They just sat at meet with him began to do what uh-oh the grumblers are back See as soon as them desperate person comes looking for god the grumblers follow in the wake As the boat passes through they got something to say about it something negative some critical remarks something you didn't do right Oh brother mike said this and that ministers don't talk like that. Oh, he's wearing that look. I can never compete with that I The grumblers will always follow somebody hunting for god.  He said this woman is saying your faith has sozo delivered you go in He's jojoba has changed. Oh my goodness luk 19 When he came near he beheld the city and he was same greek word jesus On the night he was arrested stood on olivette and looked out there And started to what?  They got used to him god Was common to them They've been the church and the synagogue all kinds of time. It was just another thing now They weren't desperate anymore for miracle Jesus started a whale As it says and gone with the wind he had a crying jag If you'd only know Your day. Oh my goodness what a statement He said the same thing the demons did had you only known that this was your season And you only get one of them You only get one season and the jews didn't know and it crushed him Well, jesus happy with simon the Pharisee that day and all the other kooks at lunch. Absolutely not.  You can't get it back Jesus said to them again in john chapter 20 After he was resurrected. What do you say? peace to you As my father has sent me.

The paradox of comfort. Chasing happiness in the wrong places. Comfort does not bring us happiness. We all strive to be comfortable and when we get there we are content, but many times not happy. We get afraid of messing it up, changing things in our lives that will affect our comfort. So we stay put. We stop growing. We stop trying new things and focus on maintaining our comfort. We think that the times that we weren't comfortable were more unhappy. So let's stay comfortable. The unhappy, the uncomfortable, the discontent was better for one main reason. It got us to actually want something different. We had to move to improve. We had to make changes to reach happiness. The times we struggled motivated us to move forward, to change, to improve, to grow. Comfort is the antithesis of happiness. It is pushing us in the wrong direction. Does that mean we can never be comfortable? Does that mean always having to change? Does this mean we always have to do hard things to be happy? Yes. Are you living a comfortable life right now? Take a long, honest look at your level of happiness. Are you happier than when you were growing, changing and making things happen? When you think about changing, do you hate the idea to be uncomfortable again?  You may think you do, but I challenge you to be really honest with yourself in your true level of fulfillment. When you go to change from your comfort state, it sounds lame and you don't want to do it. Your mind and body rebel and you get cranky. You really don't want to do it. You remember the uncomfortable feelings, the effort, the constant challenges, and you want to avoid it. You want your kids to avoid it. You hate the idea of starting over and learning new things again. When you make change, when you're in the uncomfortable state, all the changes sound good. You are moving on to a better place, a better situation, a place of less struggle and more comfort. You are motivated to change when you're in the uncomfortable state. Your situation has a hope of improvement. Happiness is on the horizon. So what shall we do? We are unhappy in the state of comfort and uncomfort. How can we be happy? Are we doomed to always be in a constant state of unhappiness? No. We have to realize that where happiness comes from, it is harder to strive towards when we are comfortable and easier when we are uncomfortable. We learn that happiness comes from change. Change leads to growth and growth can lead to happiness. You must always be in a state of change, growth, learning to find happiness. Easier to move towards when your current state is needy, harder when your current state is abundance. This explains a lot of what we see around us. What is the role of meaning? Is it happiness really the goal? Or is it meaning that we are seeking? Or is it a bit of both? Why are so many seeking happiness as the end all be all goal? Money makes us stressed. So many assume that if we have enough money, we'll be happy. But what is enough money? Well, according to research, that just enough money over the poverty line does increase happiness, but there is no correlation after that. So why do we think that we're unhappy making $60,000 a year? Why do we feel that we won't be happy until we make $200,000 or a million? Happiness is not what we should pursue. It is meaning. Meaningful relationships, meaningful life work, meaningful narrative of our life. Finding meaning in our daily life right now. Striving for happiness is something in the future which makes us discontent now. We need to apply meaning in our lives today. Live a life that aligns with your values. Engage in what you are doing today. Find significance.
