Begin in at verse five let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus who being in the form of God Did not consider it robbery to be equal with God But made himself of no reputation taking the form of a bond servant and coming in the likeness of men and Being found in appearance as a man. He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death Even the death of the cross therefore God also has highly exalted him and given him the name which is above every name Then at the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those in heaven those on earth those under the earth and That every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the father And so as we look at this I want to develop from where we were the last time I was with you and that was how the apostle Paul had been speaking to The Philippian church that they were supposed to have a life notice chapter 1 verse 27 That we had conduct that was as he said worthy of the gospel worthy of the gospel of Christ So Paul has been exhorting the church to walk worthy of the gospel that word worthy as I was mentioning to you When we looked at it together is a word that means that which is suitable it it speaks of that which is Appropriate it means that which is suitable or worthy of something and so the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ When we walk worthy of it It simply means that our life is going to to be appropriate with the message if the message speaks in a certain way Then our lives are going to line up with that and so what the Lord would have for us to do is to walk Worthy of the gospel it's similar to what he said in 1st, Thessalonians in chapter 2 verses 11 and 12 Where Paul said you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children Encouraging comforting and he goes on to say and urging you to live lives worthy of God Who calls you into his kingdom and glory and so if I'm going to walk worthy of the gospel if I'm going to walk Worthy of God well, I have to put away certain things He had stated here in chapter 2 at verse 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit but in lowliness of mind let each of steam others better than himself So I put away certain things Because one of the things that matters and it matters the most really is that if I'm going to properly reveal what the gospel Does my life is going to be changed. There's going to be an evidence in other words that I have a relationship with God And therefore there's going to be no selfish ambition There's not going to be strife and contention in my life There's not going to be any conceit that word conceit speaks of empty boasting. I'm not going to be making the world revolve around me I'm not going to be the center of every conversation I don't need to be the topic of everybody's lips the things that they speak about it doesn't have to be about me What it has to be about is Jesus Christ and instead of Conceit and ambition and all of that pursuing things for my own gain Wanting to be known and recognized wanting to be popular wanting to be the one that people look up to Instead of that what's going to happen is is I'm supposed to be in we're supposed to be walking humbly We're to consider others he says is superior to ourselves notice first four let each one of you look out Not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others And so as an evidence that I'm walking worthy of the gospel. I'm not going to be doing things to selfish ambition or conceit I'm going to have humility. I'm going to be considering others better than myself I'm going to be desiring to to look out for other people instead of myself I'm going to see them as superior and and I'm going to learn to deny myself so that I might beneficially serve somebody else Well when you say that I mean there are people who who hear that and they say but the problem is pastor You just don't know who I am You're just not aware of how important I really am you see if you really understood how important I am you wouldn't ever say to me That I should walk like that So obviously you're just ignorant of my wonderfulness Well the bottom line is Paul has an answer for that and what Paul decides to do is he decides here in this passage under the The direction of the spirit is to give the greatest example of somebody who's like that the greatest example of self-sacrifice and that example of course is Jesus Because Jesus exemplified humility as well as self-denial Now many people struggle fulfilling the call to service and sacrifice They ask the question how can I become what God intends me to be? So Paul begins here by speaking concerning the way that we think He begins to speak concerning our mental attitude notice what he says in verse 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. He begins with the mental attitude The way people think He's saying you need to direct your mind to a thing You need to seek or to strive for something and that is a proper attitude Now if I'm gonna seek the proper attitude It would be good for me to have an example of someone who had a proper attitude So that I could understand what he's saying and so obvious Obviously the one I would look to when it comes to attitudes and proper attitudes would be the the attitude that Jesus had and it's easy to find Examples of that if you take notes Matthew chapter 11 verse 29 gives us a great example of the attitude of Christ Because when Jesus spoke concerning himself in Matthew 11 29 Remember what he said he said take my yoke upon you Learn from me and then he describes himself. He says for I am meek and lowly in heart And you will find rest for your souls So what was your attitude Jesus? I am meek and lowly in heart Now a lot of times when people see the word meek they have a problem with the word meek because they see meek and they think it means weak and That's not what meekness is meekness is power that is under control and Jesus Christ had meekness He had all power under control and so when Jesus Christ was walking the face of the earth. There was none like him Because of the meekness that he had and also because of the humility is humbleness of mind He said I am meek Now in Matthew 12 verses 19 and 20 it speaks concerning Messiah in this way He will not quarrel or cry out No one will hear his voice in the streets a bruised read He will not break and a smoldering wick. He will not snuff out till he leads justice to victory Matthew 23 12 says whoever exalts himself shall be abased But he who shall humble himself Shall be exalted so the Lord Jesus Christ said if you're going to be using anybody as an example come and learn from me and Described himself as one who is meek and who was lowly that word lowly speaks of that which is of low degree It speaks of a humility It's like what Proverbs 3 34 is speaking about when it says he scorns the scorners, but he gives grace To the lowly you see the proud don't come to God with repentant hearts the proud Resist the conviction of the Holy Spirit because the proud When we're proud we don't think that we need what God has to offer us and therefore We don't come to him with humility and say God be merciful to me. I'm a sinner So a proud individual doesn't enter into the kingdom of God because it requires humility to do so So Jesus speaks concerning himself and he says I am meek and he says I am lowly Proverbs 11 verse 2 says when when pride comes then comes shame But with a lowly is wisdom So Jesus is meek and Jesus is lowly and so as we look to Jesus as our model That's what we see But he also develops Paul also develops the immensity of his voluntary Humiliation and I want to show you this as we look at verses 6 through 8 These are very powerful scriptures And I hope to be able to do justice to them quite obviously I'm not going to be able to do the justice that they deserve But hopefully we'll be able to look at them and gain some understanding of the things of the Lord especially understanding of who Jesus Christ is notice verse 6 speaking of Jesus who being in the form of God Did not consider it robbery to be equal with God But made himself of no reputation Taking the form of a bond-servant and coming in the likeness of men and Being found in appearance as a man He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death Even the death of the cross Now I want you to see this and it's going to take some time to develop this I hope that you're ready. You might want to relax because I'm going to do my best to Give you some Scriptural evidences related to who Jesus Christ is I want you to see this first he begins in this way He's speaking of Jesus and he says who being in the form of God who being in the form of God What Paul is speaking in these verses about for those of you who take notes is he speaking of Jesus's pre existence and He uses four important words that we're going to look at he uses the word being who being in the form of God the word being is a Greek word that means always existing So he's saying that Jesus always is God always has been God Always existing. This is what Jesus always has been Secondly, he says being in the form of God being always existing form The word form means the characteristics and qualities That are essential to identity It speaks of the nature and character of God It speaks of the essence of something Not simply the external features that identify it. He has always Existed in the essential nature of God is what he is saying Now he says he did not think it to be robbery to be equal with God Well, we all know what the word robbery means some of us perhaps have been a victory of that a victim of that robbery Robbery speaks of a thing to be seized upon or to be held fast. It's something that is retained or taken and Then when he says equal Be equal to God. It is a word that means in quantity or quality substance and nature Now I'm giving you these words being form Robbery and equal and now I'll give you what the intention of the writer is. What is he talking about here? What he's saying is this Jesus prior to taking on human flesh in the incarnation has always been God There was never a time when he was not God He has always been God being in the form of God being he said in the Essential a nature and character of God. He has always been God and Because of this existence as equal in nature to God It wasn't a thing that he had to grasp after because it already belonged to him. That's why he didn't Try to rob it or grab after it. It's because it belonged to him in the first place Now when you read in the Bible things related to the Lord Jesus Christ and and the essential qualities of God and all There are so many scriptures that you can develop like Psalm 90 verse 2 in Psalm 90 verse 2 It says before the mountains were brought forth or ever you had formed the earth and the world Even from everlasting to everlasting You are God Isaiah 63 16 says you oh lord are our father our redeemer your name is from everlasting And so God is presented as being the everlasting God But in Micah chapter 5 verse 2 in reference to messiah. It says you Bethlehem if ratha Though you be little among the thousands of Judah Yet out of you shall he come forth unto me That is to be ruler in israel Who's goings forth have been from of old from everlasting He's speaking of messiah who is always God Now why am I making this big case? I just Feel like it now. The reason I am bringing this out is because there are people who don't understand that Who will actually say no jesus christ is not god Almighty he's a mighty god, but he is not god almighty That's the jahovah's witnesses The jahovah's witnesses who present themselves as jahovah's christian witnesses Will tell you that I'd assume most every one of you have had a conversation with the jahovah's witness How many of you have had a conversation with the jahovah's witnesses? You know, they're very very successful in knocking on doors, aren't they? How many of you don't open the door? I've had a number of conversations with jahovah's witnesses I've read their literature and I've spent time studying things related to them and I can tell you That the bottom line is a jahovah's witness will tell you that jesus christ is not god A jahovah's witness will tell you jesus christ is michael the archangel the first creation of god The word michael in the hebra means who is like god And they will tell you this i've had numerous conversations And they will say to you no jesus christ is not god He is michael who is like god the first creation of god and they actually resurrect an Heresy that was dealt with in the fourth century in the church is history When it related to those kinds of things that were being said even then But the bible makes it very clear that jesus is going forth has been from of old from everlasting But from everlasting to everlasting the scripture says you are god So the bible teaches in the old testament that messiah Going forth is from everlasting And messiah will be god in the flesh Now in the new testament in john chapter one verse one It says in the beginning was the word the word was with god and the word was god Now i bring my jahovah's witness example up again jahovah's witnesses will tell you that and they have what is called the new world translation And they'll open it up to john chapter one verse one and they'll point this to you And they'll say in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was a god So they add the letter a and thus make jesus christ a god In a pantheon apparently of gods throughout the universe Though they would argue vehemently that there is but one god by adding the word a they Denigrate jesus from being god in the flesh and make him into simply a great one But in john 114 it says the word was made flesh and dwelt among us We beheld his glory the glory as of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth And the point that john was making and you just need to know the context of the book of john the gospel of john john was writing To actually deal with a heresy that had arisen in the early church called Gnosticism Gnosticism was a belief system that believed that spirit and matter could not have any kind of real relationship because Spirit was good and matter was evil And so jesus christ they said who is spirit could not have possibly taken upon himself flesh because if he'd taken upon himself flesh Then he becoming matter would have been evil therefore because matter is evil Jesus could not have taken upon himself human flesh And so the gnostics entered into the church in the very early portion of it beginning to say that jesus christ is not god in the Flesh because spirit cannot become flesh So john writing to combat this heresy says in the beginning was the word the word was with god The word was god and the word became flesh and dwelt amongst us We beheld his glory the glory of the only begotten son of god full of grace and truth He wrote that in order that we might know that god indeed took upon himself human flesh This one that has always been in the form of god from all eternity has been god Took upon himself human flesh and what we call today theologically the incarnation Now all of us know what incarnation means because the word incarnation is a latin word It's in carney in flesh Incarnation space of human flesh jesus took upon himself human flesh and what is called the incarnation So the spirit took upon himself human flesh and dwelt amongst us jesus christ in other words was born as a human being But he is god in the flesh Now In the ministry of jesus christ jesus had performed a miracle. It's recorded in john chapter five jesus had adhealed somebody But the problem is is he did that work on the sabbath day And so there was a great great problem over that and so the people began to be very angry and in john chapter five Versus 16 through 18 and john says because jesus was doing these things on the sabbath The jews speaking of the jewish authorities the jews persecuted him jesus said to them my father is always At his work to this very day and i too am working For this reason the jews tried all the harder to kill him Not only was he breaking the sabbath But he was even calling god his own father now notice what john writes making himself Equal with god Making himself equal with god When jesus ultimately was crucified When he ultimately died When the jewish authorities brought jesus before ponsious pilot and were demanding his death They actually had construed a a charge against him Where that they said this man is stirring up people and he's forbidding to pay taxes to caesar. He's presenting himself As being an over caesar and and when they did that what they were doing is bringing up secular charges against jesus christ because When questioned by ponsious pilot concerning this And ponsious pilot discovering that there was no fault in him and claiming so they said we have a law This man has made himself out to be god And that's really the reason they wanted him put to death So they wanted jesus to die not because he was guilty of sedition But because jesus christ had claimed to be god And that's why they ultimately got him to be crucified And so jesus christ when he said my father is working up to this time and i am working they understood exactly what he was saying jesus christ is claiming to be god in the flesh Making himself equal with god And in john chapter 5 verses 22 and 23 jesus said the father judges no one but has entrusted all judgment to the son That all may honor the son Just as they honor the father He who does not honor the son does not honor the father who sent him now I want you to think about that for a minute just as they honor the father Just as they honor the father. No, wait a minute god is to be worshiped alone when he gave his commands He said i'm the lord your god. You shall have no false gods. No god before me Yet jesus christ is standing there saying you honor me just as you honor the father To put some flesh to that Some incarnation to that If i stood up here and i said you are to honor me Just as you honor god That would take about five seconds in this room to be cleared out You guys would be saying are you kidding me? I don't honor you. You're a man I honor god Now you understand the response to those statements when jesus was standing up saying i'm not a By alone. I'm not a prophet alone. I'm not a good man alone You're to honor me even as you honor god What he was saying was revolutionary to the point where people understood it very well Who is making himself equal to god? You see isaia 42 verse 8 says i am the lord That is my name and i will give my glory. I will not give my glory to another Nor my praise to graven images My glory is reserved for myself and yet jesus is saying you honor me Even as you honor the father If he were not god in the flesh Then what he was worthy of is death for blasphemy And according to jewish law, that's exactly why they wanted him to be put to death You see jesus did not have to grasp after godhood Because it was already his Now All the way back in the book of genesis in chapter three we have our first parents adam and eve And we have that temptation where the the enemy begins to speak to eve and and says Well rather than me just paraphrasing it. Let's turn to genesis chapter three. I want to read it to you genesis chapter three You remember where that is right No, where is it genesis chapter three I think you You'll benefit might just remind you in ourselves as we read it genesis three beginning at verse one Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the lord god had made And he said to the woman as god indeed said you shall not eat of every tree of the garden The woman said to the serpent we may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden But of the fruit of the tree which in the midst of the garden god has said you shall not eat it nor shall you touch it lest you die The serpent said to the woman You will not surely die For god knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened And you will be like god knowing good and evil So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food That it was pleasant to the eyes And a tree desirable to make one wise She took of its fruit and ate She also gave it to her stupid husband That's my note And he ate The eyes of both of them were opened And they knew that they were naked they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings You shall not die Well, there's so many things we could look at here Eve not only gave the word but she added to it Because when god spoke to eve and to adam and gave that command he didn't say anything about touching it He said you shall not eat of it But notice what eve did she actually added to the word You know, we're not to eat it nor shall we touch it And then she said lest you shall die No, god didn't say lest you shall die god said you shall surely die So there was there was no doubt about it But notice what the enemy is doing here. He's saying you shall be like god Now turning on back to philippians Eve succumbed to that you shall be like god She wanted to she grasped after that she wanted that godhood You see, that's what was motivating satan himself That's what ezekiel tells us and that's what isiah tells us The five wills eye wills the five eye wills that are found in the book of isiah chapter 14 I will be like the most high That's what satan wanted to be like god And that which he succumbed to is what he offered to the woman You shall be like god And this woman wanted to have that And she yielded to it And her husband went along with her she was deceived the apostle paul tells us the husband wasn't Adam understood But he made a choice Why did he make that choice nobody ever knows none of us will ever know Perhaps he felt being with her was better than being with god Whatever the choice that he made he made it to the herd of the entire human family He made the choice But you see she wanted to be like god Jesus didn't succumb to temptations because he didn't have to Jesus already is god and that's a point that he's making But what does he do well? I want you to see in Philippians chapter 2 verse 7 It says he made himself of no reputation Taken the form of a bond servant and coming in the likeness of men In contrast even though jesus was god yet notice he made himself of no reputation Now Jesus was already in the form of god Jesus already was in the likeness And jesus was already in that appearance in other words. He was visibly and fully recognizable as a real human being Jesus had full humanity But he also was fully god And this one who was fully man And fully god did something he made himself of no reputation is another way of saying he took upon himself human flesh taking the form of a bond servant And he came as a human being But verse 8 being found in appearance as a man What did he do he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death Even the death of the cross His humiliation Now going all the way back to what i was trying to begin with by emphasizing When he had said in verse 3 let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit What he was saying in verse 4 let each of you look out not only for his own interest but also for the interest of others In contrast to the willful pride of man Jesus voluntarily humiliated himself took upon himself human flesh and voluntarily yielded himself up on a cross voluntarily gave himself up for us In his human existence In obedience he took the lowest place And was obedient unto death Jesus voluntarily Chose the path that concluded with the sacrificial death. That's what he did You know, there are people who will say oh, Jesus was murdered or Jesus was martyred Jesus voluntarily yielded himself No man takes my life from me He said I give it up Jesus made the decision he in accordance to the will of his father and the plan of salvation To be that lamb of god who takes away the sin of the world Jesus voluntarily took upon himself human flesh Many years ago. I had a friend of mine that I went to church with Who said to me That he believes that when Jesus became human That part of the reason that he was Not wanting to go to the cross in the garden When he was saying father take this cup from me He said it was because he believed it was because Jesus enjoyed being human so much that he didn't want to die And so There's a greek word that I use as I was speaking to him.  I didn't say I'm just teasing. I didn't say that. I thought it I was a new christian when he said that I was a new christian. I was only three years old in the lord But there was something about that statement that just didn't ring true to me Let me think for a minute Jesus existed from eternity in heaven and joined fellowship in the most perfectly exquisite environment That is so beyond my conception Where gold is so cheap. It's used as asphalt And precious stones are used for walls and foundations There is a perpetual bliss joy peace worship There's no Heat that burns you up and no cold that makes you need a blanket There's nothing but love But when he got to earth He wanted to stay here. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?  I don't want to stay here any longer than he has me stay here I want to go and be with the lord. Can you imagine what heaven's going to be like? Can you imagine now? Of course you can't either get high Eye has not seen ear has not heard neither has it entered into the heart of man the things that the lord has prepared for us Is beyond us What heaven is it's beyond us A place that is so perfect Where colors are so brilliant that they would hurt your eyes if you saw them with the natural eye Where substance is so real that it's unbelievable. It's so solid and concrete. It's just Where there's no tears where there's no pain Where there's no sorrow. There's no suffering. There's no sin There's no regret. There's no grief There's no tears And I want to come here and stay here. Are you kidding me? Come quickly lord jesus I want to be with you And spent on pleasures on earth Absolutely god has been gracious to us. He's given us joy indescribable He's given us blessings beyond measure He's given us comfort in times of sorrow. He's given us his presence in times of loneliness and pain He's provided in every single way that any human being could ever really be provided for But the idea That jesus didn't want to die on the cross because he liked being a human being Could only come from a young man who hadn't really been thinking lately Because that's absolutely wrong For the joy that was set before him he endured the cross the scripture says what was that joy The joy of being with his father again The joy of being In the place that he left That's why jesus could speak as an eyewitness He could tell us this is what it's like And this is where I want you to be I go to prepare a place for you And if I go and prepare a place for y'all come again and receive you unto myself That where I am there you shall be also And so the lord jesus christ When he humbled himself and took upon himself Human flesh it was for the suffering on a cross to pay a penalty for my sin Because the wages of sin is death And it's appointed unto men once to die and after this judgment but God has placed on jesus christ My sin he is the lamb of god to take away the sin of the world He is that sin offering Who bore my sin in my place He has made him to be sin for you who knew no sin That you might be made the righteousness of god in him And so the lord jesus christ took upon himself human flesh for the purpose of dying on a cross And no man took his life Jesus not only allowed himself to be taken But even his moment of death was determined because he said it is finished and father into your hands I commit my spirit And the scripture said and he breathed his last And it's another way of saying it and he dismissed his spirit He said to his spirit it's all finished go and it was done And he laid his head on that cross like a child would place their head on their pillow before they went to bed at night and jesus into thy hands and he died and it wasn't because man murdered him it was because he came and humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death even the death of a cross It's not just the cross by the way it's the cross of christ Many people during the time of jesus died on crosses but we don't look to those crosses do we There were two men who suffered and died alongside of jesus one on his left hand one on his right Their crosses don't mean anything The cross that matters is the cross of christ because on that cross jesus bore our sins And he died on that cross for us in romans chapter five verse 19 it says just as through the disobedience of one man the many were made sinners So also through the obedience of the one man The many will be made righteous Again, I've been paraphrasing this let me read it to you john 10 verses 17 and 18 the reason my father loves me Is that I lay down my life only to take it up again? No one takes it from me But I lay it down of my own accord I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again In this command I received from my father And so verse nine therefore god also has highly exalted him and given him the name Which is above every name That at the name of jesus every knee should bow of those in heaven and of those on earth and of those under the earth And that every tongue should confess that jesus christ is lord To the glory of god the father So after all of this humbling himself being obedient to the point of death dying on the cross After all of this god has highly exalted jesus christ Through his death through his burial through his resurrection jesus Is the soul individual the soul name That results in salvation Oh here's something for you I was speaking to somebody just today about this In the history of the united states in recent years Perhaps some even in this room Were alive during this period There's some evil men who have lived and died Paul pot Hitler Mussolini Lenin Stalin There have been many many evil men Mao the greatest mass murderer Killed millions of chinese people through that revolution there In forming red china Millions of people were massacred But i was speaking to somebody today and i said as evil as hitler was and indeed Evil evil man he killed Estimated as we all know the figure some six million jews Six million jews See the word million to me doesn't mean much it's just beyond my imagination I don't know how to figure the word million to be honest with you But that's an awful lot Not one or two or five And estimated six million jews Not only did he in his concentration camps and the atrocities that he perpetrated Make sure that some six million jews died Many times you forget that also in history something like six million non jews died In a similar fashion The amount of massacre was no less than 12 million What makes it so heinous is the fact that he tried to kill an entire people Jewish people So we know that In communist russia millions died We know that in communist china millions died We know that under the nazis Multi-millions died we know that Mohammed People pale in comparison When it comes to Being responsible For deaths The estimate is 1.3 billion people follow his teachings right now I want you to think about that 1.3 billion people right now Follow that teaching a teaching that's taken them straight to hell And over the last 1400 years multiple Millions upon millions upon millions Have died without the lord jesus christ and under islam In many of the countries wherever islam is predominant is the dominated dominating religion under sharia It is against the law to convert From islam to another religion. It's against the law to do that Multiple millions of people Are being lost right now Now do we understand that no we don't We don't understand that We don't even think about that You see we're so conditioned to see that what hitler did was evil But mal did was evil if you even heard about it in your in your history classes a lot of times it's not even mentioned in history is it? So those are physical deaths But when somebody is responsible for billions of people missing heaven There's a great responsibility What I find interesting as a christian Is the bible and I want you to see this I want you to see it. I read it to you again Verse nine god also has highly exalted him and given him the name which is above Some names That's not what he said here guys See if we're going to be biblical christians then we need to go with what the word of god says he said it's a name above every name Every name and you see that's what makes christians so unpopular That's the truth If I got on tv and said Yeah, everybody goes to heaven. Even your dog's going to go to heaven It's a wonderful place. It's open to anybody.  Oh, yeah, he doesn't deserve going there now. He was he was a mass murderer. That's true But when we've had tragedies when we've had even the terrorist act back in 911 And and close to 3000 people perished And you have all these people saying they're in heaven That's the common sentiment Again, I've said this many times to you. It's not popular, but it's true Today's theology is basically this All you need to do to go to heaven is die That's pretty much what people say isn't it I mean one of your popular, you know, one of the popular pop stars It was well known we'll say for debauchery drunkenness. He died of a drug overdose And they have his funeral and what do his friends say? Man, he's in heaven right now partying And let's look up and see him No, if you're going to look in any direction to see him you have to look down because he's not up there He didn't know jesus christ But see if you stand up and actually say that People get upset They get angry How judgmental You know, all we need is love Didn't our prophets the beetles tell us that? I get concerned for the church I get concerned for the state of the church in the united states I look at europe and I see what happened to england The number one missionary sending nation in the history of the world Some of the greatest missionaries that you read in your books about came out of england Dr. Livingston Hudson taylor so many So many hymns and wonderful songs that people sing to this day Came out of the off the pen of a british hymn writer But when you go to england today The gospel is being squashed underfoot Europe is post christian So I look at the united states and I get concerned for our nation Because we're mixing We're mixing up Our concern for the state of the nation And our hunger for revival We're confusing that with political movements And we almost think that we can vote in a righteous leader And as far as I know human beings stink with sin And it really doesn't matter whether the person calls himself born again or not He's still a sinner I don't need a sinner I need a savior. I don't need a president I need my messiah See so I get concerned and I hope you don't mind me opening my heart to you at this point here because as I see The lord jesus christ here every knee shall bow every tongue shall confess that jesus christ is lord that means something Might as well get myself in trouble. I haven't been doing sunday nights for a while Yeah, go for it. I'll go for it And then people will just go When glenn beck had his rally in washington I wasn't one who stood up and cheered. I wasn't maybe you were one who did I have reservations about it I don't think revival comes through going to washington I think revival comes from getting on your knees I really do I I I see the great awakenings that that took place in the 1700s and the 1800s and And I hear glenn beck as he's saying he wants to have a third great awakening and and my discernment antenna goes up And and I take several steps back And I say well, I am in agreement with much of what you say Well, I I see the wisdom of what you say and I do understand the history I do understand from a political standpoint and I do understand some of the national history and I do understand American culture And I do see how the culture has been shifted And twisted I do understand all of that and I I do hear that crying the problem I have is I I'm not going to line up behind a man who is not Not in a religious sense. I'm not going to line up behind a man Who's not a born-again believer. I'm just not going to do that I'm just not going to do that Or I'm digging a big hole. I might as well keep going I I believe That america is craving release from burdens And unfortunately is beginning to think that we can force it through electing officials I do believe that when the righteous rule the people do have a certain amount of joy I have no doubt about that proverbs 29 makes it clear when the evil one is In rule the people growing. I understand that the jesus movement That birth so many calvary chapel ministries Was not birthed as a political movement It was birthed as a movement of the holy spirit And the holy spirit grabbed hold of men like mike macintosh Who thought his his head had been blown off by a pistol that went off next to his head it was It was moved and moved along by By an angry young man who wanted to kill his wife and kids It was moved along as the holy spirit moved a 17-year-old kid who liked to do cartoons and ultimately became an incredibly powerful evangelist like greg lori It happened when When some guy who'd been shot in the leg was laying inside of a gutter and And so people were pulling out and there's this young man laying in the gutter and they Get out of their car and they say what are you doing?  You need jesus christ get saved right now That's steve mays A man is is is flying his plane to to south america running drugs carrying a 45 in his waistband And when he arrives in in miami florida, and he's walking through the airport There's this christian witnessing and starts to talk to this guy and leads him to christ and bob grignet gets saved I mean that's how it works guys. That's how it always has worked And then then god uses the greg lori's and the raw rhesus and the mike macintosh's and And all the rest and so many others that could be named and are worthy of mention The billy grams of franklin grams The louis bowels and so many others to just preach a simple message of the gospel of jesus christ I'm looking for the lord to move I want jesus christ to move I don't want to look at at a movement say oh, yeah, I got everybody to vote and that's why america changed I'm just not there forgive me. Maybe you are i'm not I believe that I need to be on my face before god for this nation and I am I just want jesus to move and maybe See I get emotional because this is deep in my heart And I don't talk about it Except with marie. She hears too much But I watch the church I love the church And I love my pastor friends And we have got to get back on our faces The church has got to get back to the word of god We've got to rely on the holy spirit And we need to remember that jesus is lord To the glory of god the father. We have to remember that And I don't think that we do I am grateful that my pastor chuck smith And then right around the time when I got saved I am grateful that he wasn't pushing politics I am grateful that he wasn't standing up Just pushing richard nixon Because when I got saved nixon was in office But chuck wasn't running around saying oh, you know, this is the man. No Chuck said He's the man Follow him Your life will be changed See no politician ever saved me from drugs They'll make it possible for me to get some with prescriptions That they don't save me from its power And they can offer me all kinds of health care and they can offer me all kinds of insurance But I got the best life insurance and the best fire insurance that anyone can have I got that from jesus christ And so As corny as that is And a lot of people think oh david you're so unsophisticated.  I want to influence you into the kingdom of god I want you to love jesus christ more than anything More than anyone And that's why I love him. He is lord every knee shall bow Every tongue shall confess that he is lord Isaiah 45 22 through 24 says turn into me and be saved all the ends of the earth. I'm god. There is no other By myself.


Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. Today's video I'm going to be reviewing the ever famous Lululemon everywhere belt bag and I have two colors so if you guys are interested then just keep on watching. Before we get into this little video I just want to remind you guys to please subscribe to my channel, I vlog, I do reviews like this and I'd love to have you along my YouTube journey. Also follow me on Instagram it would mean the absolute world to me and yeah I guess with that being said let's just get on into what I think about these bags. So starting off as you guys can see I have two colors I just got this white one and it's just so pretty but it does have some negative things about it. Also I'm gonna show you guys what I keep inside you can fit so much stuff and I'll show you guys all of the stuff inside at the end of the video because I kind of just already did one but I don't want to you know bore you guys so I'm gonna just do the review first and then I'll show you guys what's inside. So this bag fits a leader I believe I don't know if I'm correct on that but I've just heard other people say that but again like I said I'll show you guys everything that I keep in here. It's very deceiving it looks pretty small but you can fit a lot of stuff in here. This is the extended strap version so as you guys can see there's this little piece of fabric here and it just slides and then there's another piece of fabric so to adjust the strap you would need to like pull one way like this and then pull the strap here and then you have this tail and you'll need to use the little elastics to like stretch it out. So this bag is a little bit um different than the original quote-unquote but on the app they say that this is the everywhere belt bag so I preferably like this just because having this hard plastic like everywhere to me is just annoying and kind of bulky and with this it's just a lot more like clean sleek looks less bulky. I know other people have different opinions which is totally fine but in my opinion I like this better. We have the little Lululemon logo in the bottom corner which I really like. I like the um the detail that they actually like made it metal it's not just like a sticker as well as the fact that the zipper is a little bit different too than the older version so the older version they had metal be the zipper and right now it is plastic like the new updated extended strap whatever you want to call it the newer version does not have metal which I like little side note I had a belt bag or fanny pack just like this from a different company and it was really cute it was like a dark navy blue the texture was a little different but it was exactly like the old version of the everywhere belt bag with the metal zipper the metal interior logo and I liked that one a lot but every time I would open it or touch the zipper I know this is sorry about the lighting again it's the clouds moving every time I would like this is like a nitpicky thing to say but every time I would open the bag and like touch the zipper like my hands would get that metallicy smell and it was just annoying because I used to use my old belt bag that I actually sold it on ebay and I actually gained money from it because it looks exactly like this but it had like the peach and it said a different name on it so actually like made money from that which is kind of cool because I put it on like ebay saying like look alike and it actually sold so I was kind of proud of that because I was like oh this probably isn't going to sell but whatever but it did but when I used that one I used it as an actual belt bag like I wore it around my waist because I was filming events and stuff around the community so I would need to like have easy access to like my hand sanitizer and everything and yeah it was just like annoying because when after I like zip it closed after I like pinched it together with my hands my hands would get that metallicy smell so I'm really glad that this one they changed it basically and they have this plastic and it is water resistant like the fabric is which I'm really happy about because I live in Florida and it always rains here next up I'm going to talk about the strap so the strap is kind of like a seat belt material I really like that it kind of like matches the material of the never lost keychain which I'll show you guys in just a minute also I watched this other ladies review and you can fit in a water bottle in here isn't that crazy like you could fit a full water bottle in here okay so I got this just normal sized 16 ounce water bottle I believe it's 16 16.9 fluid ounce water bottle so gonna put this in here what if it doesn't fit like oh my gosh it fits hold on people that's wild it does fit obviously you don't have a lot of room left maybe for like your ID and like a car key and a hand sanitizer maybe but a water bottle does in fact fit in here so that's kind of cool to know just gonna give you an overview look of the new belt bag so this is the front on the back we have the zipper right here nothing in there sorry that was my water bottle and then jumping inside here we have this silicone sticker here then we have the tag and it just basically says it's one size and then inside here we have this big pocket and this is like a mesh material you can kind of see and then flipping it around this is the front pouch there's two pockets there and then you have this big big hole this big hole here and then this right here is like a little silicone piece that says lululemon on it and I kind of like it it's a little little touch there it's a little cute detail then we have this metal zipper pull and it's nice and sleek and pretty tiny a lot of people don't like the size of it but frankly I do I don't know if you guys will be able to see this I'm like trying my hardest but this just says lululemon on it it's just like imprinted on there and then finishing off this little like tour of the bag this is like what the clip looks like it's kind of weird it's kind of not your traditional clip it has this like T looking structure here so it's interesting but honestly it looks like any other clip from like the normal point of view so overall carrying this bag I carried this on a trip with me and it was really convenient to just like throw over my shoulder I keep this in my big everyday tote bag I have the never full so it's really convenient just to like throw in there but then when you're on the go running errands you can just like pick this up and then throw it over your shoulder or throw it over and wear it like this this is a little short like I know some girls like actually wear it like this which I'm like I don't know how you're doing that because it's kind of like choking me I don't know but it's convenient to unzip and like get everything you need out of it and if you guys were wondering the zipper is really easy so I'm like barely trying right now and I'm like being able to open it it's convenient then you can like grab whatever you need I think if you were like traveling to maybe you were in like a big crowd like a stadium or something this would be good to have just to like have your belongings like close to you so you won't have to worry about like people stealing yourself I don't know or just like easy access really convenient love the design of it okay so moving on to why I got the white one so my friend and I both got black ones and then my friend turned hers in and she got a gray one and the gray was like super pretty but I didn't really want the gray one I like the black and given the fact that like I spill everything I swear I've gotten coffee on my white defined jacket like probably three times and luckily it's come out like the stain has but I'm just not lucky when it comes to that so like okay I'm just gonna keep the black one and that's fine but then she traded her gray one in for a white one and I'm like oh my gosh that bag is gorgeous and it was so pretty and like I just loved the way it looked on and she sent me a picture and I was like oh my gosh but it would have taken too long to like get before the trip to like match so I was like whatever I'll see the bag in person because she obviously had it and I saw it and I was like oh my gosh that's such a pretty bag then someone at work like I saw on instagram posted and they had a white one like that's just such a pretty bag so I decided to get it and honestly I'm not as happy as I thought I was gonna be like I love it don't get me wrong but if you're worried about it being see-through it's see-through like I'm just gonna be plain and simple like if you care about seeing stuff like I can see the one dollar bill on the back here like and I can tell that's a one dollar bill um it's kind of see-through it's beautiful bag like again I love it I'm probably wondering why I kept the black one well I kept the black one because number one I really like the black one um and it's really good just staple to have it don't match anything just like the white one will and I just kept it because my mom uses fanny packs and when we go to like the parks or whatever she can just use this one so I'm giving this to her so this is basically hers but if I get sick of this one or if it gets dirty or whatever I could probably just take this one back so there was like a couple stupid reasons why I kept the black one but um this is all to say if you're thinking about getting one getting the white or the black but I would go with the black if you don't like seeing the stuff so I will do a close up so you guys can see what I'm seeing but it's see-through and also too I don't know if this is psychological or the bag is actually different but this one feels thicker than this one and like I've been trying to compare this for like the longest time are they the same thickness and like I want to say yes but the white one just feels thinner you know what I mean the texture is the same I think it's psychological guys I don't know what's going on but if you're looking for one and you don't know what neutral color you want to go with I would go with the black first and then if you really really like it and little things don't matter to you like I'm sure this will get wear and tear and if you wear it with jeans I'm sure there's gonna be color transfer um that's just common sense so I don't I mean I haven't used this that long I've used this one longer obviously but just using common sense I'm sure that like this one will get more wear and tear faster but honestly I don't regret it because I just really really like the white okay so I will insert some pictures from my phone this camera is not doing a good job picking it up which is good because maybe you know if you're Joe Schmo walking along the sidewalk they're not going to see but you yourself are going to be like a close to this thing you will see that I have a germax in this little pocket right here so just keep that in mind um the detail on the lululemon silicone piece is gray and then everything else is white I don't think I showed this little piece but this is little zipper pull and it's like hard plastic kind of reminds me of an aglet like from a tennis shoe string and it's like looped along there my overall review of these bags okay thumbs up I love them so much um I think they're really good price point they're 38 bucks um from lululemon which you know lululemon like a hundred dollar leggings and just crazy stuff like that um I pay way too much money but they're good quality I think you'll get a good bang for your buck if you want to invest and get yourself a lululemon everywhere belt bag and I would go with black for like your first one because again the white is just I don't know but I love it so much and I don't really care about those things now getting on to what fits inside I am going to put my phone in here so you guys will get like the full on like treatment of this video this I'm telling you can fit so much stuff like I have this like packed to the rim just to show you guys how much you can actually fit inside okay she's a little bulky as you guys can tell I'm still super light again I can throw it on my shoulder run get whatever I need um it's small enough to fit inside your big tote bag I would love to use like my mini pochette as an everyday bag that I could just like grab but it's too small I could use my um mini palm springs backpack which I really want to do but putting that mini backpack inside my big tote bag is just like it's too big like it's too chunky but this is just right and um I really wanted to get the Gucci soho disco bag but um not in the market for those prices at this moment so this will do and it's really good because we always go to like the parks and stuff and it's just really good so getting on into what's inside starting off gonna unzip it and basically let me take the mask out so first off I have a disposable mask in here we have to wear masks that work again so um that's why I have that in there as you guys can see it holds a lot of starting off we're gonna just start off with the big things in the middle so first off I have my keys and this little cute bag is so adorable I got it from Publix and it's just a miniature reusable bag and then on the back well on the front it has the P for Publix and then the back it says don't forget your bags and I don't know why I find it to be like the cutest thing ever so I just kept it on there and then I just have my keys not too many I have my lululemon never lost keychain and this is what I was kind of telling you the texture and the material of the strap of the belt bag is pretty much the same um texture and feeling of this keychain which is kind of nice but it's kind of huge so I kind of have to like scrunch it up when I put it in this bag then I just have my little Gucci wallet key holder card holder whatever you want to call it so um just have all my cards in here I just have all of my cards here and then my also my business card which I just restocked up on because I was running a little low on those which is nice to have next up I have my airpods and this is such a cute case like I love this case but I lost the top of it somewhere I have no idea where that went so RIP the top of that case and then um I have this is a little glasses pouch when I don't have my big tote I can put my glasses in here and then just you know throw the shades on these are the raven hexagonal shape I've had these for forever the glasses case can fit in here but it's just like takes up a lot of room so I just like the pouch just so my glasses don't get scratched then I have a pen because you never know when you're gonna need a pen and this is a cool purple one and then it has like the stylus where you can write stuff on your phone or like when I'm getting my nails done or like soaking my nails off this is convenient to have so I can like still like play on my phone moving on to the like pouches in the front I don't know if you guys can like really tell here but I have my hand sanitizer this is what I was telling you guys you can kind of like see through in the bag then in this other little pocket I have two little perfume samples um an adapter for my computer to usb it's just somewhere where I know it is kept so um then I have my little outlet plug for my computer for like the extender then I have this bitcoin which I'm so surprised like this is this is made it this is a little like plastic bitcoin for my friend's halloween costume it's kind of funny um and then this is for my camera and then lastly um I keep my phone if I was like out and about I would keep my phone in this back pocket with this um this mesh so it's kind of like away from from all the other stuff you know what I mean so then moving on to the back so this back pocket I actually keep a lot of stuff in um so first off I have a few dollars then I have a bandaid a hair tie and a tampon because use both and then the rest of this stuff is like cards and everything oh have a quarter found that on the ground then I have a nail file because sometimes I get like my nails get like rough and everything then I have a few more band aids I have my more my business cards an appointment card for my doctor's office the wine room this is such a good place in winter park and I like to keep this with me from my aunt comes or I go out with some friends then I have a target gift card this is just a like a little key card to get into the pool at my community pool and then these I found in my other wallet because I have like two wallets but I have this gift card to Olive Garden Longhorn Cheddar's Yard House Bahama Breeze basically like all of these restaurants I can use this at which I forgot I had and then a little membership to Topgolf and I might as well just keep that in my bag because never know when you're going to go to Topgolf but anyway that is everything that is in my Lululemon belt bag as you guys can see it holds quite a bit of your everyday essentials and like stuff you might need or want I have more stuff in my large tote bag but it's not like I need those things like when I'm out and about running errands or whatever so I hope this was like a really in-depth review for you guys because I like watching these videos especially if I want to purchase something and there's been some good reviews out there but I don't know I just like I just like long chit-chatty like talking to a friend vibe so hopefully that was good for you guys you got something out of this video let me know down below if you are going to get a belt bag and like what color you would want there's so many pretty colors I don't know I feel like I would just like clash with all of my outfits if I had like an actual color so I just stick to the neutral colors um but yeah I hope you guys enjoyed this video make sure to give it a thumbs up don't forget to subscribe and I'll see you guys in my next video bye


Welcome everyone to our August PL-Endres All Hands. We're gonna spend our first main chunk of time on working group update, and then we have a deep dive into Thumbnair Dome with Tommy and Ian from the NetOps team. So excited to learn more about that. As a reminder, the Endres working group is part of the protocol labs network where we drive breakthroughs in computing technology to push humanity forward. We're constantly building lots of amazing projects and contributing to these open source ecosystems, especially around IPFS, LAPDF, and Filecoin, but also there's a ton of great updates from some of the other projects we contribute to in this month's All Hands as well. Our mission is to scale and unlock new opportunities for IPFS, Filecoin, and LAPDF. We do that in a number of ways, especially by participating closely with a whole network of developers and contributors across the world, driving breakthroughs in protocol utility and capability, and also just doing our work in the open and excessively so many others can learn from the work we're doing and can collaborate with us effectively. These are the different working groups that make up the PL Endres working group, I guess teams in this working group, and all of them are growing and hiring. So if you want to come and join us, we are hiring for a number of open roles, especially engineering managers, TPMs, product managers, and infra engineers. So I mean tons of others as well, but please come and join us if all of the projects we're working on sound cool and interesting and you'd like to help make them a reality. Our strategy for this year stays the same, focus first and foremost on helping ramp amazing new developers and contributors into these ecosystems and doing our work in highly collaborative ways, focusing on robust storage and retrieval across IPFS and Filecoin, helping people use these decentralized storage networks and access their data in highly retrievable, useful ways. And then we have a number of really exciting breakthroughs that are in the works across a number of different groups. We have some exciting PISSNETs coming up in Q4 and a lot of other projects to be shared. We'll talk more about that in a second. And of course, what underpins all of the work we do is actually helping these open source distributed networks operate and run smoothly and making sure that new releases are being put out for some of the libraries we maintain and that as we kind of improve these tools, we reduce operational debt, tech debt, and make them better for everyone to utilize. Here are our objectives for Q3. We're doing a really great job on helping more people contribute to this space, which is great. We've grown ourselves as a working group and we're also helping many other teams grow, collaborate, harness each other's output. Our goal around delivering robust accessible storage and retrieval. We're kind of orange on this. We are not currently on track to hit our five petabytes of Filplus data being onboard into the network per day goal. We're, I think we're at like 1.2 or something gigabytes per day. And while the retrieval market's work is doing a ton of retrievals, they're mostly mirrored traffic. And so we really need to get that out into the open and have that be kind of like real traffic that is a hitting storage providers and actually making sure people are using all of the data that's stored in Filecoin. Our goal around breakthroughs has gone from orange to yellow, which is really good. We now have a live FEM testnet that people are running nodes on. I think there's plans to have that be the, have that EVM actor deployed to that shortly if it isn't already, which is super exciting. So go check out Wallaby if you're interested in the Filecoin virtual machine. And then there's an exciting launch that will be spotlighted shortly around time walk encryption, which is one of the exciting breakthroughs that we've been pushing on. There's a ton more that could be pushed on and being real world adoption this quarter or next quarter. And so kind of additional work to do here to get this fully green, but it's on a good trajectory, which is really nice. And then of course doing a really great job. NetOps team has made some really good improvements to gateway retrieval speeds, which is fantastic and good uptimes and good mitigation of any proactive kind of issue identification and solving, going into making this, keeping these networks running super smoothly and some really awesome new protocol implementations especially in the IPFS land coming out of the IPFS thing. So all of this going pretty well, some areas to continue working on, but making progress. And I'll hand it off to Adeen for IPFS. Yeah, so IPFS, we're trying to make the web work prepared here, doing it with content addressing. Okay, so some of the indicators that we're tracking in terms of performance and number of nodes, things are sort of continuing as they were, nodes are growing, speeds are saying, are saying similar. We've been tracking the ongoing amount of PRs as well. We've added a new metric for tracking the spec PRs separately from the code ones. Code ones have grown a little bit. Some of this is a large chunk of the extra PRs are a function of unified CI, which you'll be hearing a little bit more about later this call. And also just sort of catching up on some triage that you staff and posts the IPFS thing event and some of the things coming from that. So what's been going on? There is a Kubo 0.15 release candidate. The big items in there are support for Blake 3, which has been pushed by Claudia. It was a former entrance folks. So this has been really great to see. There have been some plugins added by Gus for configuring Kubo, sort of however you need to. So you can really get into the guts if you want to without having to go on for the code base. And we have some good stuff to separate out the bits all client and server pieces to make it easier to iterate on them going forward as we see sort of more use and more implementations. There's been a lot of work going on coming out of the IPFS thing event in terms of projects like IPVM and the WNFS working group and things like that that we've been engaging in. And we're sort of excited to see how the community is propelling this forwards and how we can bevious. We have some work going on with Reframe to try and make it more usable and accessible to folks as well as to integrate it with the IPFS.io gateway. So we don't have to go through the Hydras in order to hit the indexers related to sort of the Kubo renaming stuff. We are separating up the Kubo RPC client written in JavaScript from the rest of the JavaScript stack. And Steve will be talking about some events that are going to be happening planned for Q4, except for the, yeah. Over to the libpdp team. Hey folks, I'm Marco from the libpdp team. Libpdp is the networking library for peer-to-pea applications and web three. Some highlights from last time we've had our last community call this week had over 11 folks join it. We're planning a libpdp day during our PLN lab week across implementations. We have a doc about DOS mitigation on the libpdp docs page, continuing work on WebRTC. And for now each implementation specifically, we released a new version of go libpdp, which is makes it a monorepo. So we've merged go libpd core into the go libpdp repo. Default keys are now ED25519 and go libpd does cross version test now via test ground. So we're also releasing a new version, which simplifies network behavior events. And we have progress here with NIM with auto NAT server protocol and continuing work on discovery interface and rendezvous. That's it for libpdp. Awesome. I think we have an update, a video update from Rod for IPLD, which is the kind of content addressing data model of web three. IPLD highlights, we have a few for you today. We've got a go IPLD prime release 018-0. This is mainly bind node focused with some custom type converters and a registrator of just boilerplate. If you're using bind node at all, grab this great updates. In JavaScript, there's an IPLD schema package that is a combination of some existing packages that have been updated and supercharged or IPLD schema parsing and printing. And it'll make these object validators and converters for your schemas. So you can take a schema and an object and you can validate and convert according to that and then do the reverse as well. Heads up, there was a go car security advisory last month. If you're consuming cars from untrusted sources then you should update your dependency. There is some changes happening in the DAGPB spec to note some obscure edge cases with regard to unsorted links. Head there if you're interested in the weeds. Coming soon, there are discussions underway around a possible CID v2. There is a developing spec for IPLD and gateways happening over in the specs repo of IPFS. IPLD and Wasm, we have a tracking issue for that, noting all the activity that is happening in Wasmland as it relates to IPLD, we'll try and collect it there. There will be a new release of JS multi-formats soon that is introducing a CID interface for TypeScript rather than just the concrete type. And there's some ongoing work with regard to selectors and traversals, specifically for go car, but likely also with regard to just the traversals for common cases. And a reminder there is a sync every two weeks for anyone interested in IPLD, join via Zoom or live on YouTube, link in GitHub. Then that's it. Awesome, thank you so much Rod. Over to Peter for IPDX. Cool, yeah, I'll try to go only once. So for developer experience team, we just released unified CI this week.  More on that a bit later in the spotlight section in test confront. There's quite a lot happening. Rust cross version testing is ready and implemented. And we also designed the feature of remote runners and there is link to the design there if you're interested in that. And on GitHub management sites, the videos from IPFS pink are out. So there is a great introductory video to GitHub management out on YouTube. What's next? User defined configing variants are coming out for GitHub management later this month. And in test ground plans, we are preparing to release a Rust and Go cross language testing. And we are going to be prioritizing any stability work around test ground coming forward. As always, we are hosting office hours every Monday. So feel free to drop in. Awesome. And over to Jennifer for Filecoin. Filecoin, we are a crypto powered distributed storage network. That's for implementing most important information. Here are some of our like matrix, the network total capacity, the robot power is still around 16.89 XB bytes and the network gross is slowing down a little bit, but I don't want to worry that too much because we have plenty of space for a lot of good information to be stored. On that note, the data onboarding is not slowing down at all. As you can see the whole trend is going up. We are now at 154 QB bytes useful data on top of the Filecoin network. The data set is still on the screen as you can see, but I do want to call out the daily max in the past month. There's one day we onboarded 1.52 gigabytes of data, which is quite amazing in my opinion. For the Filecoin highlights, we're going to go a little bit different style this time. So here is the high level core improvement like roadmap. We are around Q3. So after shipping FEM in one, we're working on the next network upgrade. It's about programmability, storage actors to do some refactoring on that. Then FEM team is heading down, working out FBEVM and a test that is coming up. I will share more details later. There's a lot of effort on data onboarding preservation and all those things as you can see. In November, we're having an ME17 upgrade and there are two most like heated fit being discussed right now. I'll go ahead take a look. This first one, 536 is about to adding a new multiplier according to the sector duration so that we can have longer commitment storage to the network. We also have 545, which is the couple Filecoin plus from the built-in actor so that more user programmable markets can be built with FBEVM using verified data cap. We are also introducing our very first token contract that we're making data cap a token of Allcoin network, which is super exciting. FBEVM and if you haven't seen the updated timeline, we're targeting a network upgrade for Filecoin around February, 10 to 23. Right now, we have an amazing product and developer experience working group being formed for FBEVM team. They're currently doing it on site in Denmark. We're trying to build a lot of developers to build on top of Filecoin. We do have a test that called WallyBee live already so you can develop Walsum and Solidity contract on top of that network already. During the public Slack channel on Filecoin if you are interested in that, we are also target to launch a incentivized test that to bring more developer into the network in Q4 so that as soon as the FBEVM goes live, we have a lot of use cases can be unlocked on Filecoin already. We will be hearing more from the Batrock team but there are folks out faster onboarding when we're live or retrieval and maybe bringing some IPFS to Filecoin by being able to swap inputs, which is super exciting. And the Lotus team are leading by Magic and collaborating with Start Further Working Group. We are trying to working with City as a Service providers to lock down the design on how to enable Lotus Manager to work with the City as a Service so that more people can join in the Filecoin network and provide storage. If you have any advice, go during the discussion. That's pretty much it. Awesome, lots of great things upcoming. Now for a couple of selected team updates starting with NetOps. Jesse. Good day for the NetOps. First, our first big delivery is job form. The 3 second to 1.3 second is a huge improvement. This is, you can see the chart. The key improve our infrastructure to make sure people get getting their data as fast as possible. It's great improvement and achievement in there. Our IPFS cluster is still getting a lot of ping, a lot of upload. It is a good thing, but we are also looking into any people in the community willing to run IPFS cluster with us. So we will have a very good guidance and end-to-end a step-by-step document for you so we can run the whole network better. The weekly IPFS gateway request, you can see the number is out last week at a little bit. We still try to figure out what's going on there because the number is back up this week again. We suspect it's because the Infarer, the company who also run in the gateway, it is decommissioned, hoping the community will start running the gateway to make our gateway more decentralized. I think this is a good move, but the short-term is kind of a fact that you may be getting more centralized requests into our gateway, or maybe some of the traffic is redirected from this Infarer endpoint, so get into it a little bit. But we see data already backing up again. Also, I think this is a very good opportunity to make sure the community are aware. What we try to do in here is not try to get all the requests go to our gateway. It is helping the community and anyone want to run the gateway, please reach out us. We will help you to help the whole network to run a very good gateway and provide the best service for the whole network. In this situation for the unit, I think that's the gateway user a week. We still have a pretty good number. It's a little bit, at least a week, it's because the traffic is in there, but it will come back next week. And it's pretty much from the KPI point of view for the new ops. Awesome. And Corey for Phil Infra updates. Hello. We've been spending a lot of effort trying to get our own infrastructure on to GitOps. GitOps is a force multiplier for us that helps us do things a lot faster. The update here is that is that bootstrapers and all the critical infrastructure is running using this methodology. So if you have bootstrapped a load of snow lately, you have used our new installations. We are starting to work on more generic cluster that other teams at protocol labs in the PLN can utilize. So included in that is applications such as the IPFS operator. Those are available and you can make use of it using the our GitOps infrastructure. The chain snapshot service has had a soft launch. So if you're interested in that, please go have a look at the landing page, api.chainlove. This is a service that we run that has a lightweight Lotus API. We had no downtime since the last update and 1.7,000 unique users. This is up slightly, but it's roughly the same as the last update. So going steady there. If you are a Lotus user, you might have noticed that there has been some improvements in the homebrew installation. So this is all thanks to Ian Davis, who's with Mycelio. He's done some great work to make sure that the Mac OS universal binaries works. Opportunities, what's coming next? We're continuing to onboard more things onto our weave infrastructure. There's a list there of the projects that are being focused on currently. We are experimenting with a new front door concept. So in the past, if you've had any questions about infrastructure and didn't know where to go, now you can talk to us in Slack. We have a more thorough, more well-thought-out process for handling requests. I'll end with that. If you have a project and you need some place to run it, please let us know. If you would like to help us test the snapshots, we are very interested in making that happen. So reach out to us. Thanks. Awesome, Corey. Is there a specific Slack channel that people can go to for that front door? Right now, just go to NetOps Issues in Filecoin Slack. Cool, NetOps Issues, you heard it here. On to Bedrock Update, Jacob. Hello. Yeah, so Bedrock heavily focused on improving storage onboarding support and really focusing over the next month on reliable retrievals. And so on the storage onboarding side of things, one of the things that we shipped recently in 1.4 RC of Boost is the ability to support calculating Compi for deal storage on the remote, on the ceiling workers. And so this is a big improvement in terms of being able to improve the onboarding rate, removing a bottleneck on the Boost node in the markets process. And so that actually enables storage providers to be able to scale their data onboarding pipeline. So we've already had a couple of SPs who benefited from this by early adoption. So nice wins there. We're also working on rolling out a HB full piece retrieval to storage providers in the Evergreen program to make it much easier for them to download full pieces for replication of all this like slingshot data that's been on the network since launch, try to make that a lot faster. We are on the retrieval side of things. We're working on, we've had some issues on cid.contact with index ingestion because we've been scaling so much data and onboarding so much data to the network that we're working on scaling that up. And so we've rolled out index star which is a network splitter which is enabling us to spread traffic out across multiple index providers. We have six now, six people running indexers on the network, including us which is really, really great to scale that up. And then on the, as Jennifer mentioned earlier so bit swap and boost is one of the big things that we're looking at landing by Phil Lisbin. And what this is gonna enable us to do is have IPFS gateways retrieving directly from storage providers. So this will be a really big win for interoperability on the network. We're targeting having a good chunk of that work done in the next month and doing a lot of testing later on. So hopefully we'll have that all in place by the end of October. Awesome, love the graphs. Jennifer for the new docs working group. For the longest time, we do have a docs team but serving all the Andreas docs team but nobody really know who we are. So we are revamping a new docs team is like kind of reborn. Our goal is to make it easy for all the users and developers to learn build and use file coin IPFS and live P2P and also any other like stack PLUS building. And we obviously want to become very active participants within all the interpreter community we're building. We do have more team member joining in the team. Johnny Matthews, you all know them and we have Danny focus on the P2P team of focus on IPFS. We have John M has been helping with keep the docs done like running efficiently. And we are collaborating with other for that for us and load this TSC very closely on this documentation needs. We are making a couple of changes within our team. So we're dividing our focus into two tracks. The Android side of the docs team, we are going to try to focus on the engineering product. So basically want to create the source of the truth of the tech that we're building by creating technical documentations, user guides and developer guides and tutorial and et cetera. However, we also want to focus on the users. It's like what does user want to know about our text so that they can use and build on top of the tech. We will be working very closely with the auto core and developer relationships. Also feel that TSCs and FVM DX team and to bring that effort up. So we are still like working on our roadmap. Our team is still quite new. But the first priority is like we're documenting everything. That's how we do docs. So basically if you go to our upcoming notion page and you're curious about how to spin up your docs, you can find some resources over there. We want to be user, user, user, user protests. So we're adding a lot of analytics to our docs side. All these pages are already public. Feel free to go explore. And we're considering adding comment section to our documentation. So we know the content we're creating is what our user are looking for so that we can improve our documentation for the more in the future. And then working on FVM developer docs with the FVM team. We're keeping track of the Kubo new release and see if there's any user and documentation needed. We're doing a lit P2P docs implementation audit and concepts audit. And hopefully we'll bump the whole docs later this year. There's more coming where to find us. We do have a PL docs channel that involve Queen Slack if you want to join and hang out with us. Just let me know. Always feedback or issues welcoming the docs side GitHub repositories. And we have public channels for the docs effort in Falcon Slack for all the stack. And I will be sharing notion maybe in our next all hands. Awesome. Thank you for the update. Now over to a couple of spotlights on exciting work shipped and upcoming starting with time lock encryption, Patrick. Hello, everybody. I'm Patrick from the DRAN team. For those of you who don't know DRAN is a network for generating publicly verifiable, unpredictable, unbiased random numbers. We recently implemented a practical implementation of time lock encryption that does not use proof of work. Time lock encryption is the ability to encrypt something now that cannot be decrypted until some point in the future. It's got some cool use cases like a dead man switch, MEV prevention and blockchain systems, anonymous auctions, and many, many more. Concrete things we shipped recently are a time lock library in GoLine and a time lock library in TypeScript. We also developed a demo website for encrypting vulnerability reports called Time Vault. All these were released and discussed at Defcon Las Vegas two weeks ago. Additionally, we've written a notion page about our scheme for people who want to get into the weeds, as Rob said earlier. Additionally, we're releasing a blog post in the next two weeks. So it's going to detail how it's going to work and hopefully get the community involved a bit more. Also, coming up, we're going to make a Rust-compatible library for time lock as well. And yeah, watch out for that. Feel free to join us on our Slack or on our notion page and give us feedback. Thanks. Super cool. Users here need it. So if this solves a scratch as an issue, you're trying to solve. Come get involved in the Slack channel and start actually using this in prime time. Over to Peter for Unified CI. Oh, yeah. Me again. Hi. So yeah, the main thing we did this week on the developer experience side was to release new version of Unified CI, mainly targeted at Go users here. But maybe first, let's start with what Unified CI is. So it's a set of GitHub action workflows. Define how to test and release our code. Currently supported for Go and JS that we distribute to participating repositories. If you want to participate, it's as easy as creating a single PR to protocol.github.repo that has a name of the repo. You're interested in adding back to release. So in the most recent release, the main thing that's new is Go 119 support. And we dropped Go 117 support from our Go workforce, which means that all participating repositories are free to use generics now, which is the most exciting thing. And the other cool thing that's new in Unified CI land is that from now on, whenever we detect a new repository that uses Go in our organizations, we're going to automatically suggest adding Unified CI there. One more thing. If you're updating your repository of Unified CI, it doesn't get merged automatically. It might be for various reasons. Most of the time, it comes down to upgrading some dependencies. But if you're stuck and if you want some help with getting the upgrade through, please reach out to us at IPTX in Filecoin Slack. That's all I had. Thank you. Awesome. Helping everyone merge and check their PRs quickly. Super useful. Makes for a great developer experience. Over to Steve for IPFS gatherings. Yeah. So after a hiatus, it's time to re-energize the IPFS community with IPFS camp. It is happening in Portugal in late October around the whole lab week time. So this is kind of building on a momentum of a series of great IPFS related milestones and announcements that happened in 2022 as we've kind of shifted focus from our reference implementations to having many implementations to the relaunch of the specs process, more developer and user tooling, the partnership to get IPFS into space, major commitments to IPFS funding and IPFS hiring, and of course the successful event back in July with IPFS thing. So there's been a lot there and we want IPFS camp 2022 to carry on with that and really set us up for more growth and adoption here in 2023. So there is a standing website right now. More details will be posted there soon. We look forward to seeing and having many of you present at it. In terms of if you want to, if you're gung-ho for camp and ready to prepare, there are a lot, all the videos from IPFS thing are now live. You can find them on the YouTube channel or if you want links to all the playlists, if you go to the recap blog post that's on the IPFS blog, you'll also find them there. So anyway, looking forward to seeing many of you all here at this event soon. Good times. Woot-woot, definitely watch the videos. They're fantastic. And now on to our deep dive on Thunderdome. Take it away, Tommy. Thanks very much. So yeah, we called the project Thunderdome after the 1985 film. I won't talk too much about the film. I just have to say that the shoulder pads are probably an example of why you shouldn't project current growth rates too far into the future. So we're currently targeting the IPFS gateway use case. So we do this by spinning up so-called targets and firing traffic at them. We make sure it's exactly the same traffic. We gather as much information as we can when we do that. So we get metrics via Prometheus. The newly enabled tracing in Kubo, we scrape all that up if it's there. We grab logs and we're pushing everything to hosted in for us. So we don't have to do any work to keep up with the number of experiments. I said no limits on how many experiments we have. A couple of lines of conflict to define them. Next slide, please. I should say it's me and Ian in the production engineering team that have been working on this in the last couple of weeks. So yeah, the first thing we did was make a tool called Dealgood named after a character in the film who organizes fights. I tried to resist talking about the film, but yeah, they make people fight in a hemisphere in the middle of the desert in a post-apocalyptic future. So make up that what you will. So yeah, multiple targets, same load. Like I said, we run it headless or in it with a terminal UI. So it's useful for local dev, actually. It's also got tracing enabled. We do tracing propagation. So you can say this request and then trace it all the way through from the points of view of the clients as instrumented as the go HTTP lib is. We trace all that and then we can correlate it with Kubo's tracing. Also exports, Prometheus metrics, and we can playback production load from a log stream that we take from the production gateways, which is minimally service impacting because it's just another engine X log file that's being written, or from a randomly from a can list of your eyes. And there's the terminal UI there. It looks delightful as it moves. Ian's got an ASCII cinema demo that he published a week or two ago. Yeah, so that's what it looks like to define an experiment at the moment. We're limited to give us a couple of, or not couple, give us N Docker images and whatever environment variables you want to set with them and we'll run the experiment for you. And we automatically on the left there is all of the tracing stuff. That's not any work we've done. That's just what Grafana Tempo looks like. And that's all the default tracing in Go IPFS that's there now. I think there's a big seam of work in Kubo to instrument more and more things and become more and more useful. One of our first experiments is actually measuring how much enabling the tracing, what fraction of tracing you enable. How much does that impact performance? On the right there is a still from the demo video I'm about to play. And you can see the dashboard is automatically generated. So dashboards for free. And then you've got a one minute, 45 second video to play. Yes, that should start building things. Makes a ECS service for each of the back ends, the targets rather and deal good. So we should start seeing stuff appear here. And yeah, there we do. Peer and demo deal good. Peer and demo without. Peer and demo with. So we should be able to go to our automated dashboard. We go to Peer and demo. It might be a little while. It takes a minute or two for the containers to start. So you can imagine using Firebase at the moment. So it's got a like a sign in network interface in the VPC and that kind of stuff. But very soon we should start seeing some things. Yeah, so there's a little bit coming through there. That's where this reported. And that should refresh every five seconds. I'll full screen this now because there's nothing else to see really. Starting to get some data through already. Times of first bite is kind of the most critical metric in terms of the user perception of the service and stuff. So we kind of centered that in this default dashboard. So we're saying that with is about twice as fast. So when you're peering is about twice as fast in the initial startup here, zero to experiment in end time units. We'll develop this dashboard further with a whole bunch of default metrics and stuff. My wife was saying that she wishes she could fast forward me and mute me in real life. So yeah, we've already got on the backlog a bunch of experiments. We want your experiments. So like what's interesting to you? What would you what battles would you like to create? So yeah, send send us your suggestions. We want to get as many experiments going. The things only as useful as the experiments we run. Mario has asked the question, where does it get the traffic from? It's replaying a trace log. You approve the PR a little while ago, mate. So various levels of soon coming soon, more production like. So at the moment, we're saying the Docker image plus environment variables constitutes at different targets. But of course, other things affect how well the infrastructure runs. What kind of disks are you giving them? What file system you're choosing? Are you raiding it? We want to finesse the UX. So it's an absolute delight. We want to automatically, if you've got performance enhancing branch, just track it, just keep deploying the branch, test for regressions, et cetera. RCs automatically should be tested. I shouldn't read the comments. Mario is making me laugh. Continuous Kubo, JSI, VFS, Ira, shootout. Bring your own hardware. So like we don't like our hardware options, run it yourself, pointed at something you're interested in, run our side cars, get graphs automatically. And then one thing I'm mega mega excited about is the idea of like infrastructure experiments. Which load balancing strategies should we adopt? What kind of machine sizes might we use? Can we compare this infrastructure provider with this other one? What if we use a shared block store? What if all the nodes in a region had a peer store in Redis? Things like things above the level of individual instances of our software that do impact the performance of it. Because Kubo and anything implementing the IPFS gateway spec, actually, are deliberately designed to interact well with load balancers, caches, that kind of thing. So we want to be able to test them as well, because the aggregate of all those things is our performance. So that's it. That's all for me. Thanks for your indulgence. That was a pleasure. Awesome. Then we'll end our meeting there. And everyone have a wonderful rest of your Thursday.
