Amen Let's it be gone We're certainly thrilled and certainly thrilled to have you joining us here today And I will just tell you that if you weren't here this past weekend that cannot be remanufactured You had to been here. Amen It's like trying to discover trying to explain Disney World anybody know what I'm talking about You can't explain it. You got to experience it, right? I can tell you being in the presence of the Lord is a whole lot better than being at Disney World How many of you know what I'm talking about? I want you to get ready to be a giver this morning. Are you glad to be a giver into the kingdom of God? Amen, three of you praise God. Well, the blessings on three of you the blessing. Are you a blessing to the kingdom? If you're a blessing to the kingdom, you can't pay for it, but where your heart is There will your treasure be also and I'm just gonna tell you there's some things that money can't buy This past weekend is the power and the presence of God was moving in this house And like I can sense him in this building this morning. I don't know what's gonna happen But somebody is gonna receive a miracle today Christie Christie stand up right there. Will you just wave it ever? I know I'm embarrassing you right now She there she is right there. She's she is our chaplain over at Sacred Heart Hospital last Sunday She walked through the line didn't I I didn't know that she had been dealing with what was the doctors were describing some kind of mass some kind of something going on they had it on x-ray and So she got on that line praying across this this pulpit last Sunday morning as we were anointing and believing God For miracles to transpire she went back to her doctor this past week and the doctor pulled that same scan out looked at another scan It said I don't know how to explain this to you But what looked like a great big mass is nothing but a small ball of scar tissue. I Don't know how much more you need all you got to do is believe God and he's able I Said he's able We thank God this morning want you to be praying for Patty Neff She's watching inside of the CCU ward at West Florida Hospital. You say well, that's something. Well, God keeps his hand upon his people yesterday she was at Walmart and Doing her shopping and all of a sudden she started feeling pain in her chest next thing you know, she was having a heart attack She drove herself home and a little while later her husband right back there at the house to find her literally Laying down and hurting and not able to communicate they got her over there did a procedure on her opened up 100% blocked artery with four stents in her heart. They had to shock her back three times The doctor came in and said listen, I'm just here. I'm not normally the doctor here at this hospital I just came in. I've got a friend over here I actually am a doctor in Orlando, but I'm the one who did it and certainly the Lord has done this work right here Some I said well, that's not a miracle I bet you you think it's a miracle if you were laying on that bed and opening your hands and your eyes and saying thank God He's healing my body today Come on now How many of you from this past weekend service have received some kind of touch from God and answer to your prayer I've seen standing up hands and they're going all over this place Come on lift that other hand right now Would you just thank God some I said well pastor I haven't got mine yet praise him like you do because the Lord will call those things that be not as though They already are Lord. I thank you that you're already working in my behalf And I believe you're the same yesterday today and forever. Amen Praise God forever more I'm thrilled for what God is doing and I just have an expectation Some people want to stop and celebrate all the miracle But the Bible says that these signs shall follow Them that believe we get all excited about a miracle and I am I'm thrilled to celebrate with you But I have to say God what else? Because this should be a normal occurrence in any spirit-filled church Where people are getting healed saved delivered set free filled with the Holy Ghost and the kingdom of God is being built Don't making me preach this morning. Look at somebody tell him you better put your praise on this morning. Amen Praise God. I was talking with someone Yesterday matter of fact, they were telling me some things that They didn't go to this church and they said You know what? We see those billboards going down the road So we love that billboards going down the road So we just say Jesus Jesus Jesus every time we pass by Don't it make you just want to say Jesus out loud. I'm gonna preach in just a few minutes Lord willing But I want you to get ready to be a giver in your offering this morning.  I Promise you it is because of your faithfulness in giving that we continue the broadcast around the world for people that are watching right now Not only that but for your family members that are checking it out online They just click in they won't ever tell you I Told you I read to you this past week of a lady that Was a patient over at the hospital elderly Saint She'd been watching online for years. I'd never met her She'd never been she'd never darkened the door of this church never come in this church But she we were their church her church and her pastor She just went home to be with the Lord and I'm just gonna tell you That there are people watching right now that you may have no idea Maybe family members or whatever that God is reaching them by the love and by the gospel of Jesus Christ So whatever we want to do we want to keep that flowing and going amen So let's do that today You can scan that QR code to get to the place where you need to give or you can do that on the way out Through the tithing envelopes that are provided your cash checks money orders teeth watches Gold toenails. I don't know what in the world but whatever that it may be Give it as an offering and God will bless it a man See y'all don't think that's true, but the Bible says blessed beautiful are the feet that bring the gospel I Got some beautiful feet y'all come on somebody Y'all ain't with me this morning. I just want to tell you one other thing before we receive this offering That is on April the 14th There's going to be a freedom rally for those of you that want more information on how to be able not only to perhaps Cover recover from the COVID extended COVID things But bringing more information to help you to be better in your own physical health at Wahoo Stadium on April the 14th You can get that information that's online as well. And I said one more thing. Here's the last thing over here I don't normally do this, but I'm going to do it because he's my number one son and he gets it all Tomorrow is his 34th birthday. Pastor T. Would you stand up? Behold if you've seen the father You've seen the son and the son the father I'm proud of him proud what God's using them to do up in the youth and all around this church and what a blessing he is This morning we get the privilege of being able to receive brand new members into the body of Christ Here at pace This is not salvation as I explained to them This is an opportunity for them to join together with people of like precious faith and today as your name is called We're going to ask you to step right towards the front because I believe that today is a very special day in the life of pace and In the life of these wonderful folks so Michael if you will Eugene and Jen Green Blake and Cassidy Kearns John and Camille Lataraca Christie Sutton and Ray and Jackie Williams Praise God What a blessing to have all of these wonderful folks As a part of Pace Assembly many of them Actually, all of them have been coming to Pace Assembly for a little while. So it wasn't Necessary to go through the deep middle because if you've been here For any length of time you're getting a taste of it as a matter of fact I know that these wonderful folks are not able to be here today. They said they would be here next weekend Some brand new folks we delivered bread to them The Charlie did this past week as first-time guests that they joined with us last week for the very first time I think what was it was a Catholic background? I can't remember Catholic background They came into Pace Assembly visiting last weekend for their very first Pentecostal Spirit Field Church service don't you love it when God drops them right in and the fire and So we deliver bread to them this past weekend and and brother Charlie asked them said how did you like the service? after they had a little conversation expecting like well, you know a little bit crazy waiting for snakes and stuff they Said we've never been in anything like that before it was our first time And we love it. We've got to be out of town this weekend, but we will be back at pace next weekend Come on give God praise for that see Some people think this is crazy, but I've watched football games and the difference is there some I've watched them in the stands They sit there and cry for an hour after all the games. Oh, we're about team loss But see when you walk out of a Spirit Field Church, it's not emotion It is spirit talking to spirit and everybody walks out Lift it up and a winner if you put your confidence in Christ say man And that's why these wonderful people have come right here to be a part of Pace Assembly And I want our board of directors and their wives and ministers their wives to come and stand behind them if they will please As you're doing that I want to rehearse with this entire congregation What it means to be a member of Pace Assembly the benefits of membership Are these it identifies me as a true believer Gives me a spirit family spiritual family to join with and walk with the Lord with Gives me a place to discover my gifts and talents Gives me a place to be accountable The church in turn will be a place where we focus on God and our worship is of God Our fellowship together helps us in life struggles The discipleship that comes through the teaching and instruction from the Word of God Will be provided by your church. It will be a place of ministry where it helps me to serve other people and It also is a place of evangelism where the Lord helps me fulfill. What is the Great Commission? So I rehearse this with all the congregation those of you that have been here those of you that are members and those of you that are not members because of the importance of Membership is not just joining some club You're joining a part of the body of Christ. We're one part of it. This is Pace Assembly It's one part of the body of Christ But we're gonna do everything we can with your help to be able to build the kingdom and these are some of the Ingredients number one I will protect the unity of my church by acting in love towards one another and other members By speaking in a positive supportive way of my church and its leadership and by standing staying focused on the vision and the Mission of the church that protects the unity. I will share secondly in the responsibility of my church by praying for its growth and By inviting other unchurched people to attend and By warmly welcoming those who visit for all of you that wonder why I provoke you to get out shake hands Meet new friends. That's why if you want to have a friend you got to be a friend. That's what the Bible says So that's how that happens thirdly I will serve the ministry of my church by discovering my gifts and talents that God's given to me and By developing my personal Discipleship reading the Word of God studying the Word of God and by equipping myself to serve other people Finally, I'll support the testimony my church by my faithful attendants by my faithful living and godly life and By faithfully supporting the church with my finances All of that is what I'm saying is part as a member of Pace assembly and for that reason I want everybody in this building if you will please to stand and I'd like for you to draw your attention toward the Wall up here so you can collectively say it with me because this is the mission statement of this church in a lot of ways It expands itself in different areas, but this is what you say as a part of Pace assembly that we are so Everybody in this building read with me right out loud. Let's say it together pace assembly is committed to see people say Can you say a man to that? How many of you see yourself as a part of that at Pace assembly if you don't you need to find your place doing that? Because you'll never be fulfilled until you get yourself into that place But I can assure you of this that once you apply yourself into the body of Christ at Pace You're gonna find out just like many people have and for years I never held back on making this any kind of statement because for some it might have sounded even arrogant But I'm gonna tell you I'm just as proud of this church as I could ever be in my life because you'll find yourself and To yourself that there's no place That's all I needed to hear stretch your hand this direction Would you because we're about to pray that the favor of 90 years of ministry of Pace assembly would rest upon each and every one of these houses right here Let's do that together father in the name of Jesus as we lay hands upon your servants here today Lord we recognize that each one has a talent a gift Lord a ministry that you've called them to do and to be and the sincerity of their hearts and the compassion That's in their lives Seeks a place Lord to be able to be used of you for this family for each family that is Represented here today may the hand of God rest upon them and the favor of the hand of God on this church Rest upon each and every one of these that stand here together with us today May the Spirit of God rest upon their lives in such a way that their family members each and every one Lord Jesus will see Lord the favor upon their lives from this day forward We give you praise for each family keep them protect them Overshadow them we pray in the mighty name of Jesus and everybody believes it shout a great big amen Come on give the Lord praise right now. If you will turn right around There's someone there to greet you with a handshake and a smile while they're doing that Why don't you give the Lord continued praise for what God's doing in Pace? Come on give him a lift give him the praise. That's right fully do his name Come on everybody in this house lift your hands towards heaven. I Believe God's gonna take us somewhere this morning. How many of you are willing to go where God wants us to go? Come on. Let's praise him right out loud Heavens his throne and the earth his footstool has favored us with his presence today We have experienced a touch of God last Sunday. You may have felt him this week But my God we need you a fresh and a new today Yesterday's bread is gone. I need daily bread today Yesterday's oil is dry. I need fresh oil to anoint my head today My cup is empty from last week. I need my cup to over. He is the God Yesterday today there may have been something that let's reach it Let's reach it. Come on.  Nothing is too hard for you. Somebody needs an answer to prayer That's standing right next to you They may be family members and you don't even know what they're asking for So I'm just gonna reach over I want you to reach over and just gently lay your hand on their shoulder and and hear what I'm saying If you will pray the prayer of faith if you will The Lord will save the sick and raise them up if there be any sin It shall be forgiven them Lord move from hand to hand From person to person in this building because what you're doing Lord is impossible for me to fully consume So it must be an overflow in the lives the person I'm touching the person they're touching as We agree this morning Lord. There's nothing too hard for you now you've asked You've asked now by faith Would you take a moment and and just thank him you may not feel any different you may not You may not have gotten a phone call you may not have gotten anything that confirms what you're believing But the Bible said if you believe that's touching any one thing it shall be done. I thank you Jesus. I Thank you Jesus Falling in that's what's happening here falling in love With Jesus With cheese is the best thing I've ever Ever done. Is it the best thing you've ever done? That's what you're doing You're going back to your first love The Lord said go back to your first love and do your first works over again in his arms So can I give you some word to go turning your Bibles over to Matthew? You gonna know why I'm giving it to you Just a second turn over in your Bible to Matthew chapter number 16 Still in this series on I believe watch this word if you found myth Matthew 16 Share with somebody besides you If they don't have a Bible if they've got a Bible and don't know where to find it Help them find it. They need this word been following some of my pastor friends who are in Israel and This morning they posted That they are they were in this very location Just today and of all the places that Jesus decides To have this dissertation this conversation With his disciples. It's in a place called Caesarea Philippi Caesarea Philippi It's actually a place Where they came as pagans to worship and pagan God in fact it was a location of A gigantic cave where multiple gods were worshipped by and Jesus said I'm gonna take it all down at one time Y'all I have heard this past week and you have to So many leaders and people that are posturing themselves to be in charge. I came to tell you this morning There's one who's been in charge since the day that he spoke darkness and Light came in to be in the book of Matthew chapter 16 starting in verse number 12 when Jesus came Under the coast of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples same question. He's asking you Saying whom do men say that I the son of man and They said I Found them right there in the scripture lost tribe of they they said they said They said some say that they'll art John the Baptist Some Elias and others Jeremiah's are one of the prophets He saith unto them I Don't really care What everybody says I Just want to know Who do you say I am? God helped me to be like Simon Peter there was some days. I don't want to be like Simon Peter But this day I want to be like Simon Peter Who answered and said thou are the Christ The Christ the son definitive The definite article the son of the living God How do I know that I'm speaking the truth because Jesus came back and answered and said an AM blessed Are thou Simon bar Jonah? For flesh and blood hath not revealed his son to thee but my father Which is in heaven and I say unto thee thou art Peter and Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell Shall not prevail against it and I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom Whatsoever thou shall bound bind on earth shall be bound in heaven.  I want you to flip over real quick There's a couple of others. I want to share with you look to 1st John chapter 4 1st John chapter number four, there's a reason for this 1st John 4 and 1 says this be love Believe not every spirit But try the spirits whether they're of God Because many false prophets are gone out into the world Whereby know ye the spirit of God, how can we know that every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is Coming the flesh is of God What does that mean that means from his virgin birth all the way down the line as efficacious sacrifice of blood all of it That's what that means and Verse three now I want you to note the delineation the dividing and every spirit that confesseth not That Jesus Christ is coming the flesh is not of God. He calls it out and This is that spirit of antichrist Whereof you have heard that it should come and even now already is in the world you're of God little children And I've overcome them Because greater is he that is in you Then he that is in the world Flip over one page to 1st John chapter 5 verse 1 It says who so ever believeth That Jesus is the Christ is born of God and Everyone that loveth him that begot begat loveth him also that is begotten of him By this we know that we love the children of God when we love God and keep his commandment For this is the love of God that we keep his commandments and his commandments are not grievous Watch this now for whatsoever is born of God overcome at the world and this is the victory that overcome at the world even our faith Who is he that overcome at the world, but he the believer that Jesus is the son of God? This is he that came by water and blood even Jesus Christ not by water only but by water and blood and it is the spirit That beareth witness because the spirit is true Or there are three that bear witness a bear record in heaven the father the word and the holy ghost and these three are one And there are three that bear witness in earth the spirit and the water and the blood and these three agree in One flip over another page to second John Verses nine Ten and eleven I'm giving you some word So there'll be no mistaking look what the Bible says in verse seven for many deceivers are entered into the world What are they doing who confessed not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh? This is a deceiver and an anti-christ Come on church Look to yourselves that we lose not those things which we have wrought But that we receive a full reward watch verse nine now Who's over transgress it and a bite of not watch this in the doctrine of Christ Hath not God did you know that Christ is a doctrine did you know there was a doctrine of Christ? Did you know there was a doctrine of the devil? The devil's got a doctrine for you and Christ has got a doctrine for you read on this is good He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ He has both the father and the son There you go If there be any of you and bring not this doctrine If there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine If there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine Receive him not into your house Neither bid him God's speed I was I was growing up The preachers would preach this so that Jehovah Witness wouldn't be invited into our house Or the Mormons whenever we saw them white shirts and bicycles we knew buddy Don't bid them God's speed. I want you to know how serious that the Lord is about this About Jesus Christ Because he's making an emphatic statement And and what we call little John first second third John little John these are passages of Scripture That were written to the last-day church to make sure they would not fall ill off into false doctrine And I have watched in the past 24 hours some video clips of people That are pastoring gigantic churches Who are leading their people away from Christ and my dear friends there is no salvation and any other name Y'all better get this right today. There is a doctrine of Christ, and you better stay in the way That's what John is saying.  And Jesus made it clear himself. He said don't be troubled in your heart John 14 You believe in God believe also in me in my father's house or many mansions if it were not so I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you if I go and prepare a place I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there. You may be also Thomas said how can we know the way which is the direction and Jesus made this statement? And don't you let this be some little passing statement Jesus said I am the way The truth and the life no man comes to the father but by me I want to make sure you understand you cannot get to heaven through the assemblies of God You cannot get to heaven through pace assembly church membership You cannot get to heaven by coming through Joey Rodgers You cannot get to heaven by joining a church a denomination or being an atheist But if you come to Jesus, I want to talk to you about the doctrine of Christ Lord We believe that you are the Christ the son of the living God Reveal it like you never have before I pray in the ears of your people in Jesus name and everybody believes it Shout a great big amen Look at somebody tell them I believe Jesus Christ We're in a series over the past several weeks Today I want to bring you another installment of that to solidify your faith and foundation of faith Because everything that can be shaken will be shaken and everything that can be moved will be moved. I Need to make sure that my faith is solid I need to make sure that my faith is sound and I need to make sure that when others are asking me that I'm ready To give it a fence for the gospel of Jesus Christ Over the past several weeks. We've talked to you about the world view Everybody in here and those of you watching have a world view World view from a secular standpoint is The framework from which a person views reality and makes sense of their life and their world for instance if you are a Climate enthusiast as it is today Then you'll be ready to tear down every coal plant And you'll be ready to hug a tree and make that tree God Make no mistake about it my friends That we're living in a time period where Man is worshiping the creation more than the Creator a Biblical world view is this it is based upon and I'm glad that our kids are in here this morning They may not understand all of this, but you can explain it when you get home to it That a biblical world view is based on the infallible word of God which in its entirety is That person's ideas about the dimensions of life Eternity and so forth and their life and living is based upon Biblical principles and the commission of God in other words Every part of my life is filtered through the word of God and that's what determines what I believe in a world of political religious and social deception and false doctrine and political correctness which someone said is a Tolerance of terror there must be a place where we have a bedrock of belief an established place of faith and values and convictions that Regardless of what takes place out in this world or around our life We are unwavering and Unchanging in our minds concerning it the gospel and Jesus Christ and the word of God and so forth That we must preach it and have it embedded inside of our hearts less false doctrine comes in and takes over first Peter chapter 5 verse or chapter 3 verse 15 says But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and be ready always To give an answer to every man that asketh you the reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and with fear I'm finding a lot of people in the marketplace today that are asking the questions What about this? What about that? What do you think about this? It doesn't take long I I go into places of business and I don't even have to have a turned-around collar or a name plate that says Pace assembly pastor Joey Rogers. I don't have to have that because people will look at your life and say Something different about you.  I need to talk to you about this and this Why is that important? Listen carefully Second Timothy chapter 4 tells us very clearly. What is happening right now? For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine We'll put up with it Instead to suit their own desires They will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths What you know about Jesus are are knowing about Jesus is the difference between religion and relationship Your belief about Jesus changes every part of your life At least it's supposed to who he is and what he came to do and why he's coming back are all core at your belief system Believing in Jesus Christ as the only begotten God a son of God is the dividing line between Your faith of Christianity and all the rest They'll believe in God But the moment you insert Jesus into the closing of a prayer at a high school football game could get you arrested That's the reason why that so many people are ready to Couch the name of Jesus and we'll throw God on top so we can be accepted, but you better be ready my dear friends because Jesus said that They're offended at me and if you think they're offended at me get ready. They're gonna be offended at you if you take my name Wherever you go and actually believe it hear what I'm about to tell you this is a thesis of this message Any attack of Satan begins with the person of Jesus Christ? So watch the news and watch the world that we're living in Because they won't say the same things about someone of a different faith that they will of Jesus Christ What people believe about Jesus tells how they worship And when Christians answer the question who is Jesus Christ they come and build their answer based upon the word of God the Bible Concerning what Jesus said about himself the prophecies of the Old Testament concerning the Messiah and those that are Forth-telling him for telling about him of his imminent return Not only that but we base our doctrinal belief about Jesus Christ upon the word of God both old and New Testament in other words with more than 300 messianic prophecies in the Old Testament Talking about one man Messiah that is to come Those prophecies were all fulfilled in the life death and resurrection of Jesus Christ Let me give you some numbers on it for one person to fulfill Just 48 of these 300 prophecies is a one in ten chance to the 157th power at the other 250 prophecies on top of that and it is impossible for anyone else to fulfill these prophecies and be called Messiah Other than Jesus Christ the only begotten of the father that makes it a pretty exclusive group So let me tell you that when Jesus gathered his disciples at Caesarea Philippi and Said who do men say that I am believe me There are a lot of voices out there that will tell you what they think about Jesus And you know what Jesus said I heard they call me just a good man and just a good prophet and So on and so forth, but I don't really care about what they have to say I want to know about those that claim to be my children my disciples who do you say that I am and that is the question of the hour Because ladies and gentlemen in order to be worthy of human worship The God that I serve must be God enough to pull me out and man enough to relate to my pain And so Jesus was so much man that he could cry at the tomb of Lazarus his dead friend But he was so much God that he could command him Lazarus Come forth and he had to come at his call He was so much man that he had compassion upon 5,000 people But he was so much God that he could break some fish and loaves and feed all of them plus 12 basketfuls left over He was so much man that he died on the cross But he was so much God that he raised his own self up on the third day Now you show me a God that can become equivalent with that and we'll consider his doctrine And but until you come up to the level where you can raise your own dead body up on the third day I call him Lord of lords and King of kings and worthy of all that we've been giving him here this morning In fact you are to give him about 15 seconds of the highest praise, right? So let me talk to you about Jesus this morning Since we've been singing about him. Let me give you some rock to put up underneath all those songs He has God made flesh Named Emanuel over 700 different titles that were given to Jesus Christ from the Old Testament to the New Testament Interesting study, but the Bible said you call his name Emanuel meaning God with us God tabernacled with us. He puts on a Common cloak of flesh like you and I but he was no less God and no less man John 14 and 9 said he that hath seen me had seen the father and how say us now then show us the father He said stop looking for another one. I am he Come on somebody in it's something that after 2000 years We're still talking about the same one who walked the shores of Galilee Who was conceived in the virgin womb and Mary and today whether we see him or not We believe that he is and that he is and shall be forevermore He is Emanuel God with us and let me make sure you understand because what I'm telling you now is completely politically incorrect That's why I'm preaching to you this morning because you've got to be ready to give a defense for the doctrine of Christ in the day You got to know what you believe and who you believe it in So let me make sure you understand Jesus while he put on that fleshly garment and came down to earth He lived a sinless life, and he was born Conceived of the Holy Ghost in the virgin womb of Mary Now you may not think that's important But there are whole denominations that are discounting and saying that he was not born of a virgin Ladies and gentlemen if Jesus wasn't born of a virgin then he came here on this earth with sin inside of his heart But I came to tell you that the angel came over the top of Mary and said hail Mary thou art highly favored among women Blessed art thou and blessed art the fruit of thy womb Jesus, and she said he I don't know How can this be he said let it be she said be it unto me as I will and let the Lord do what he wants to do and Suddenly all the sudden in her womb came alive as a little teenager She was mocked on one side, but on the other side Revealed as a revealed as the one who would carry Messiah He was born in a manger in the virgin womb of Mary And don't you let anybody else talk to you out of it because he was conceived of the Holy Ghost and Ladies and gentlemen to this day Luke says the Holy Ghost came upon her and the power of the highest Overshadowed her and you make sure you call him the Son of God and give him a name Jesus These are doctrinal beliefs People get bored with doctrine, but I got news for you. You better have you some doctrine planted way down on the inside He was made in the flesh He was born of from birth virgin birth, and he lived a sinless life. I Want to make sure you understand they're trying to tag Jesus with everything Then he had Relationship with Mary Magdalene had a whole bunch of children Well, that didn't last very long as soon as that movie went out People's belief in that started waning Can I tell you in Hebrews 4 15? He is a God who has touched Touched with the feelings of our infirmities yet was an all-points tempted like we are Yet without sin Ladies and gentlemen, he walked on this earth according to the book of Acts chapter 10 verse 38 how God anointed him With the Holy Ghost and with power who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil for God was with him God was with him. You want to find out if God's with somebody? I Have to ask the question. What are the demons and the devil saying about it? Well, Jesus showed up in church one time in this sinless state of himself and the Bible says that Satan started barking out at Him at the very beginning when he was led by the spirit into the wilderness rest assured The Holy Ghost is going to lead you into places where the devil is going to attack your life He wants to find out. What do you believe and he said if you'll get these three bedrock principles down in your soul Everything else of take care of itself and the Bible said he came along the enemy did Satan did and tinted him with Hunger because he'd been fasting for 40 days and 49, but Jesus pow hit him with the word And then he turned around said I got some power for you if you'll leap off this building He said pow he hit him with the word and then the devil came back the third time and said I'll take you to this high mountain and give you all this out here and pow Jesus hit him with the word ladies and gentlemen When you know that you know that you know, I don't have to argue with the devil. I'm not catching him in a brown paper bag I don't even have to go around searching for one when the spirit of the Lord opens up and walks in the sanctuary The devil will have to say where can I make a door?  They didn't say son of man. They said son of God We know you've got power We know you have authority So what did he do? He didn't come down here just to touch a few people and heal a few people He didn't come down here to raise up Paisa similarly God Church Jesus came to this earth to die on purpose Because there must be a blood sacrifice made Otherwise the stain of sin can never be cleansed For all of the time in the Old Testament was bulls and goats and lambs and all things with blood But all of that was just a covering when Jesus hit this earth He had his face set toward the cross because one time and forever He would go to the cross and die for all of men sins come on for my Justification I'm talking to you about the doctrine of Christ My repentance and faith in Jesus Christ and him crucified is what acquits me of the sin charge. I Want to throw this in the air this morning. I said I'm acquitted of the sin charge because of the blood of Jesus Christ I am justified by the death of Christ on the crawl the moment I place my faith in what he did for me. I give him my sins He gives me his forgiveness and no matter what the devil levels against you There is a not guilty verdict that comes from the voice of the Almighty because I've been justified by his death Well, I think I just took care about half the counseling in this room Because if you can stop listening to the devil and start listening to the Holy Ghost His death on the cross has made it final and the devil can't do a thing about I'm an overcomer by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. I am not Guilty I've been justified.  Tell him I've been justified Say get off my back. I've been justified. You can't accuse me The enemy is the accuser of their brethren, but I he can't put his hands on me.  I'm out of your grip. I can't get you can't get a hold of me. I've been justified. I've been acquitted I've been told I'm not guilty by the voice of the Almighty. Now. I don't care what all of y'all think in the eyes of God I'm clean. I've been justified and when they buried Jesus in the tomb.   I said when he went down, I went down with him But I didn't stay down When he got up, I came back with him. He sanctified me Some people look at your life and say why you seem so snooty. No, I'm just trying to live a sanctified life Come on somebody. I know we don't want to talk about the doctrine of Sanctification and our brothers and sisters in the church of God Cleveland, Tennessee will make surely there's an emphasis on Sanctification and we've gotten away from that because now we don't know how churchy we are or how worldly we are But I came to tell you there is a separation between that world out there and the church of the Lord Jesus Christ You don't have to say hey, man. I know I'm preaching truth this morning. I Just took my Bible up underneath my arm and make sure you know I'm quoting from it because the apostle Paul said I pray that your Whole body soul and spirit be sanctified under the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ So when somebody says you just look like you're getting too big for your bridges just look straight at them and tell them I'm sanctified. That's all say I just I'm sanctified. I've been set apart I know you look like at me all funny because you want me to go back out there and do what I used to do But I can't do that no more. I'm sanctified. I've been I've been set apart. Oh, come on out here to the party Let's do some Mardi Gras. No, no, no, I can't do that that old flesh. You'll get up and keep taking troll I can't do it cuz I'm sanctified. Well, you're just a hotty-totty and a hootie-tootie or no, no I'm sanctified. I've been set apart. I'm not doing what I used to do. I've been set apart I've been buried with Christ You can't offer a dead man a smoke I've watched him put the packet Marlboro's in the pocket of a dead man, but I never saw him grab one and light it up My church in here If you're dead to it, then be dead to it Paul said I reckon myself to be dead Indeed to sin but alive under Christ. I wish I had a church that read the Bible. I Died on the cross and that's my justification Jesus was buried and that's my sanctification and then We're about to celebrate it It's hell's holiday Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday.  We'll hit him again another day Because there's a whole group of people that believe that he's not just been justified and they're not just sanctified But they are also glorified by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Oh y'all tired this morning. I've been glorified Because he got up from the grave. I Know some of y'all are waiting like Mary and Martha did around the tomb of Lazarus when he showed up over there and said Hey, don't you believe don't you believe in the resurrection? Oh, yeah, Lord one day the right you don't understand I'm in the resurrection standing right here in front of you I came to tell you the resurrection is walking through this place through the power of the Holy Spirit He is the life-giver.  I'm gonna preach this morning If I to shout myself John 14 6 Jesus said it we quoted it. I am the way the truth in the life. No man comes to the father, but by me You know what Jesus did to come to this earth. He came looking for me. I'm talking about Jesus y'all I said he came looking for me He came looking for joy Rogers. I don't know about the rest of you, but he found me. I didn't find him. He found me Sitting on about the fourth pew on the far right side of right assembly of God on a Sunday night service the evangelist I can't tell you his name. I don't know what he was preaching But suddenly the Holy Ghost smoked me in my heart and said tonight's the night and when I crawled out and Started making my way down to the altar tears were already running down my cheeks I was already in a place of repentance when I got up from the altar the evangelist grabbed a microphone and said what happened to you boy All I can say was You know why because he's floods of joy all my soul like the sea brothers roll when Jesus came into my heart I want to know have you been saying so long that you forgot that he found you in the muck and in the Mire and in the mess He found me He not only came looking for me, but he knows all about me and still loves me, too He uses every test as a testimony Jesus not only came looking for me and knows all about me, but he came to change me Shout on that when I said he came to change me. I'll preach to my saving grace girls over here You know, you can't keep staying the same way you've been thank God Jesus changed you in a moment Man can't do it, but the Lord can change you in a moment. I believe Jesus. I Got three points for you. I believe Jesus. I Believe Jesus says Bro, I got the t-shirt back there get one What do you mean pastor? I mean man was created by God in Genesis 4 or Genesis 1 26 Man was created good and upright But God said let us make man in our own image and after our likeness hear me man is not an accident of time and space man was not made as animals But in the likeness and image of God Stop this false doctrine where we elevate animals to the level of Humanity, I want you to know God made you in the image and likeness not your dog. I lost a hundred people there I watched a movie pastor all dogs go to heaven Well if God saved them in the ark and the Bible says in the book of Ezekiel that there will be animals that are in the kingdom Now here's what you need to know here's the differentiation boy. I'm helping myself counseling right now I'm just helping myself. I just want to let you know not all dogs and animals go to heaven Because the mean ones that have been biting on my leg when I come to visit you come on somebody There's a devil in them cats. Did you hear what I said?  I believe Jesus say And the thing that makes man different in his ability is to make moral judgments and desires to have fellowship with God Having all kind of images run through my head. We understand our relationship to God and with God can we understand who we are and Why we are I? Been created in the likeness and image of God Smile at somebody and tell them I've been created in the likeness and image of God You better tell them straight up because they think you're a devil Come down to earth an alien, but I've been created in the likeness and image of God I am fearfully and wonderfully made and even though God formed me and breathed into my soul Here comes sin and corrupted my life according to Romans 5 and 12 according to Romans chapter 3 by a voluntary Transgression man fell and incurred not only the physical death, but also the spiritual death that separated us from God I'm talking about doctrine of Jesus Christ Because man was marred by sin the results The results is he fell and every generation after Adam fell with it You should thank God for that Pastor, I'm not interested. I want to kick Adam Somebody told me the other day they was walking around and they ran into some thorns and it started raking their legs They got all mad and said look at these thorns that Eve. I said it wasn't just Eve Over come on somebody man was marred by sin and Every generation after that fell because of the sin nature Now why is this so important doctrine that I'm telling you right now because unless you know that you were born as a sinner Most of what you're hearing out there in every arena is this you're a good person you need to add Jesus to your goodness Rome there is no good in our flesh at all We are a bankrupt individual. We were in sin and in sinned at our mother can see this We've been in sin with the sin nature since the day Adam fell out of the Garden of Eden But thanks be to God now my shame my guilt my fear my pain the death and sickness One of all these principles of God's creation and life Reproducing after its kind here's what the Bible said in Romans 5 Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world and by and death by sin And so death passed upon all men for all men sin for all of sin And come short of the glory of God But he says this if death came by one then salvation came by one So I don't have to wait in for another Jesus the same Jesus that hung on the cross did it for all mankind Not a person on this people planet that hasn't been injected by the venom of the serpent and our sins have Separated from God today some people deny their sin, but they were just like you born into sin To reject the truth of personal sin is to reject the absolute possibility of redemption And that there is but one way to be forgiven That's why they call it the gospel Because the gospel is good news of the redemption of every man woman boy and girl who will turn their faith towards Jesus Christ man fell because of sin But when Jesus came in he makes me complete lacking nothing Are you hearing me? John 1 and 12 tells us that That the cross is the finished work of Jesus Christ and it completes the redemption's plan Colossians 2 and 10 says and you're completing him which is the head of all principalities and power What does that mean? That means now the door of grace and redemption is open to everyone who desires to rid themselves of the wages of sin and Receive the pardon and mercy through the grace of the cross of Jesus Christ So because Jesus is the son of God born of a virgin lived a sinless life was Crucified buried and rose again and now is alive that makes Jesus Christ the only way truth and the life He's not a co-redeemer with Mary or anybody He is the one and only Savior and Redeemer of all mankind So what does Jesus do Jesus say? Bro, and Jesus still saves Through faith alone Romans 5 and 1 by grace alone you didn't have anything to do with it In Jesus Christ finished work on the cross alone You didn't die there Romans 5 verses 6 says for when we were yet without strength in due time Christ died for the ungodly For scarcely for a righteous man with one die yet per adventure for a good man Some would even dare to die but God commended his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us much more than being now justified by the blood We shall be saved from the wrath Through him for when we were yet enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his son Much more being reconciled We shall be saved by his life and not only so but we also Joy and God through our Lord Jesus Christ by whom we have now received the atonement Ladies and gentlemen, there's more to this salvation that Jesus did for us than just saying I'm saved Is there anybody interested in knowing what that's all about? I? Got four minutes before some of you clock out on me the atonement at one minute one with God What does that mean that means God is removed by the blood and sacrifice of Jesus on the cross Every obstacle in every problem and reconciled us and restored us back into a relationship in harmony and in unity between God and man and the Sacrificial death of Jesus has carried it all the salvation word is an all-inclusive Word that describes a redemptive acts and processes of God through the finished work of Jesus on the cross And means deliverance Why is that so important? There's some that are saying that you can be demon possessed and saved at the same time the devil is a liar Jesus don't live in a duplex. He lives in a single family dwelling and when he comes in the devil's got to get out You don't like me because I say the truth to you But you better read that book right there ladies and gentlemen you might be oppressed and you might be attacked by the devil That's one thing, but you can never have a possession of the devil and Christ at the same time Otherwise the work of Christ is a force and it's a false and it's a horrible doctrine to say that somehow I've got to fight my own way out of this. I came to tell you when Jesus saved. He saved complete Salvation is an all-inclusive word I'm saved from my sin. I'm saved from hell I'm saved from the devil When pastor right now my spirit is say My soul is being saved and my body shall be saved You better talk to me somebody You better get a hold of this word right here Salvation is not just some I came to the altar and repeated a prayer I can feel the tension getting up in the room right now because you saw a movie and You better get this one right here and Anybody that tells you anything different you don't have to ask pastor Rogers Just open up the book and it'll tell you everything you need to know Because I got news for you ladies and gentlemen.  I feel like I'm going over 12 Salvation is repentance a change of mind Salvation is a conversion a change of direction Salvation is regeneration a change of nature Salvation is adoption a change of family Salvation is redemption a change of owners Salvation is the perpetuation a change of clothing Salvation is grace is a change of favor.  I came to tell you I will never deviate from the fact that Jesus Christ is able to do it from the gutter most to the uttermost And if Jesus didn't save me then I'm not saved today. Let me let me let me make it plain Let me make it plain y'all better say something or I will throw water right over here right now But all these doctrinal points that I could give to you But let me break it down for you So that baby right there can understand Here it is y'all ready for this deep theology. Jesus loves me For the come on church leave what you're saying Come on somebody. Yes If the Bible tells you so it don't matter what the devil said or anybody else if Jesus has done it It's done. I'm done. It's complete.  I believe Jesus heals. I believe Jesus heals today, sir. COVID What you got to have us a name that's greater than the name you're wrestling with Pastor they said cancer. I got Jesus pastor. They said leukemia. I got Jesus pastor. They said I got heart problem I got Jesus. I got a name that's above every other name that at the name of Jesus every knee every knee disease shall Jesus healed look at your neighbor and testify. I believe Jesus healed. I'm gonna drop this in you and I'm gone God provided healing through the cross of Jesus Christ and the extended of his grace The Bible says when Jesus happened upon the man of John five at the pool of Bethesda very late Waiting for one time a year for him to stir the water so one person could get in one time a year What a desperate horrible state of mind and place that is You mean I got to wait a whole nother year Well, if you were in that guy's condition you were but then Jesus stepped on the same I don't think you heard what I said a Bunch of mumbling griping complaining people sick wounded maimed Hard and blind didn't know what to do waiting all year long. Have you watched the calendar? Have you got a marker? I got a reoccurring on my apple watch down here at the pool of Bethesda. I'm waiting It's clicking down. Oh, you ain't got to wait on that. Tell me what's the problem. I've been lame They lay me down here and I'm waiting for the stirring of the water. He said do you believe?  We don't believe in healing anymore We don't believe in it when it gets right down to it We won't say have you called my question is why then were you singing this song a little while ago? Jesus on the main line Telling what you want. Hey Jesus on the main line Telling what you won't don't sing a lie Because if you don't believe it, it won't happen Now let me help you. I got to skip all the way down because I run out of my three minutes My mice are your lobes down on the floor. I believe Jesus still heals And that doesn't qualify for one thing outside of his healing Jesus still heals pastor except for the devil is a lie I said the devil is a lie You got to know that we serve a god of time and eternity I got a mama that's in the heaven right now and she had cancer of the brain Cancer of the liver cancer of the hips and the bones and everything else went through that at 55 years old My precious mother served the lord with gladness all the days of her life and I couldn't understand why why why Here I am telling you right now that that old cancer got that body while she was on this earth But the moment she left this earth ladies and gentlemen, there was a step into the healing power of god Like we've never seen before so I came to tell you your faith is not just about this earth Your faith is up there where god said everybody's heal Oh God oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. I feel a release of the faith of god in here right now I feel the release of god in here. I feel the release of god Somebody's faith just got up if you need a healing in your body You ought to get up where you are right now And receive the touch of the master everybody everybody anybody Reach over and lay hands on somebody standing they believe And believers shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover Pray the prayer of faith ladies and gentlemen gods about to heal of the mind the soul The body and the spirit lay hands on them in the name of Jesus Christ turn yourself And pray over yourself right now for what disease may try to attack you this coming week I shall live and not die Come on church everybody get on your feet Jesus heals today Jesus healed yesterday And Jesus will heal tomorrow. Oh, yes somebody I want you to lift your hands and thank god for the healing power that he purchased at the cross of calvary right now Give it to the lord. Give it to the lord. You have no idea what attack may be coming But the devil is a liar god scotney by the blood of jesus christ Come on lift your voice right now and begin to magnify They told us the other day There's another virus coming worse than covid Greater is he that is into you than he that is in the world or what that world says And I don't care if they believe this book. I don't need everybody to believe it That's a rob All I gotta do is believe it for myself Because here's the problem I've seen god heal before And to deny it now would be to deny the miraculous I know i'm healed i'm gonna conclude here and we won't pray The bible says that jesus took peter james and john Up on the mount of transfiguration Just keep playing behind They saw the glory of god and then they started coming down When they got to the bottom of the hill Here's a man with a Son they called him lunatic lunar Sometimes he'd cast himself into the fire sometime in the water and I called on your B team disciples and they couldn't cast the devil out Jesus looked at his own disciples and said oh ye of little faith And jesus cast the devil out of the boy and that's when all the true believers showed up The disciples came to jesus and said hey hey mr.  I'm about to take the hurdle out of the way I feel something moving right over in this area right over here somebody will receive it right now He casts the devil out of the boy and then he his disciples said hey, hey jesus tell us how you did that We tried we couldn't do it. He said i know you couldn't first of all you can't do it without me I say you can't do it without jesus I can't walk without jesus I can't talk without jesus I can't live without jesus when you get to that point now you're talking about being in love with jesus and relationship He said first of all you can't do it without me you need me to do this I'm the one who casts the devil you're trying to do it on your own second of all he said Your faith is weak watch this Said you got weak faith. You know why watch this You know why you got weak faith? He said because you're living among a faithless generation In other words, you're hanging out and listening to stuff that's not building your faith in jesus christ And it is stealing your belief that god is able to heal So you're listening to too much seeing in and too much fox and too much talk radio And too much of this and too much of that and you're talking with somebody who ain't got no faith And you know what i am not gonna last my days from now till jesus comes Hanging around somebody who ain't got faith to believe because you see all things are possible To him that believer He said you're living in a faithless generation.  They're standing over gyros daughter They were standing over gyros his daughter like this. They were paid mourners If i gotta pay you to come to church, you better stay home and watch online like i'm sorry I've been out of shape Jesus said get out me and the girl alone. I'm gonna challenge you ladies and gentlemen If there's people that you need to drop out of your life because all they talk about Is doubt skepticism unbelief I'm talking to you right now come on If you need to change your situation, you better do it now Because only those who believe are going to see the outpouring of god's spirit And see my problem is i pray for too many people And seeing too many people get healed my wife was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis several years ago She couldn't get out of bed Stove up all the doctors had to offer was Give me your insurance And we'll check out what kind of pill we'll give you I don't need no pill I need the gospel I'll never forget on a wednesday night service over in the north end of crestview.  I laid hands on her and commanded that enemy of arthritis to come out Whatever that doctor had said Reverse it She went back that next week to the doctor She said I don't have no arthritis and the doctor said I don't know what happened either go on with yourself You know why because only those that are gonna believe are gonna trust and see I'm telling you this for a reason Because we're living in a faithless generation Who have you got around you talking in your head? Oh, let me go ahead and hit this upside right now If you got somebody that's trashing out your church from another place and your preacher After a while you're gonna start thinking maybe he don't have anything to say to me And the moment you start rejecting the word and the man of god whoever that is at whatever church Ladies and gentlemen, you might as well leave them because your doubt level has gotten way above your faith level You better encourage one another and the lord You better pray for your pastor because i'm not scared to tell the devil get out in the name of jesus I've been doing this a long time I went to Guatemala And a little two-year-old girl Who had never walked in her life the secretary to pastor jose alvarez Had to carry her around when they put her on the ground. She just fell on the ground her legs gone neuro Problems inside of her head the doctor said she won't live She certainly won't be productive The doctor said you might as well forget it That's what the doctor said problem is They didn't consider jesus showing up into town Well pastor, did you feel anything? Nope Did you have warm fuzzies and and goosebumps and all that nope I just took god at his word Because I knew I wasn't the one that was going to heal the baby anyway I laid hands on her in december I said lord heal the child her name is ester heal ester He'll ester I mean, you know, that's a good prayer and a good name to pray for heal ester Thank you for healing ester. We got done praying mama come in and scooped the baby off the floor No walking don't see nothing pastor. Jose calls me in january 30 days later God's gonna do it when he gets the glory Not when you get the glory I'm not interested in the glory. I don't need you clapping your hands saying oh pastor rogers cast out the devil I didn't cast out nothing I just happen to be the conduit that let jesus flow through me and you can too because the bible said believers Shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover you want to see a revival start laying hands on people on your job He calls me up He said pastor This morning my secretary Put ester down on the ground like she always had And without one moment's hesitation Esther jumped up on her feet and started walking for the first time in her life Oh The next year we bought 10,000 dollars worth of bicycles and gave them to children that had never ridden a bike in their life I have video footage of ester climbing on her first bike Peddling backwards because she didn't know how to pedal. We had to teach her how to pedal forward Now she's just graduated from high school with an honor degree.   Come on. Do you believe it?  Say it one more time.

Buy Joe Mixon. Mixon played just 62% of Cincinnati snaps on Sunday against Baltimore, and that was a season low for him in a game where he didn't leave early. And that was probably the result of a knee injury that he practiced through during the week. Now Mixon did find the end zone, but he also ran the ball 12 times for just 14 yards. It wasn't exactly a stellar day for Joe Mixon. Now, I'm typically not someone who buys injured players, but I do think that there's a risk-reward payoff here with Joe Mixon. And you can always use this knee injury to your advantage when you're negotiating. If Mixon is healthy, we know that he has a decent ceiling in fantasy football. And if you're looking forward to the playoffs, Weeks 15 and 16 feature games against the Raiders and Browns for Mixon. Those are two teams that have allowed bottom seven numbers or top, depending how you're looking at it, to fantasy backs this year. Now, don't give away a ton for Joe Mixon right now because the injury might be significant enough to where Joe Mixon isn't fully 100%. But I don't think it can hurt to talk to the Mixon manager, especially if the team who has him is out of the playoff hunt.


Welcome, everyone, to a special episode of Ask Google Webmasters. Here today is Martin. Hi, everyone, and this is John. Hi. Yeah, we're going to be answering questions on the topic of speed that we're submitted with the hashtag Ask Google Webmasters on Twitter. So let's start off with a question from Rohit. What is the ideal page speed of any content for better ranking on Search? Oh, you're asking me that question. OK. So basically, we are categorizing pages more or less as like really good and pretty bad. So there's not really like a threshold in between. It's just like we are more or less roughly categorizing the speed experience for users. And how are we actually doing that? Where do we get the data from? Yeah, that's important. So we mostly get data from two places. On the one hand, we try to calculate a theoretical speed of a page using lab data. And then we also use real field data from users who've actually tried to use those pages. And that field data is similar to the Chrome user experience report data. Cool. So we are having like hypothetical data and practical data. So we don't really have a threshold to give away, but basically the recommendation I would say is just make sites fast for users. That's what it boils down to. That sounds good, yeah. The next question comes from Olga. And Olga is wondering, if a website's mobile speed is best looked at using the TestMySite tool, the GT metrics tool, or PageSpeed Insights? That's a really good question. What's the most important tool for SEO? We have multiple tools that measure multiple things. And I can understand that that can be kind of confusing at times. In general, these tools measure things in slightly different ways. So what I usually recommend is taking these different tools, getting the data that you get back from that, and using them to discover kind of low hanging fruit on your web pages. So things that you can easily improve to really give your page a speed bump. How's that sound? Yeah, that sounds pretty good. And also, the tools are differently aimed, right? Some of these tools like TestMySite is pretty high level, so everyone understands roughly what's going on there. Whereas GT metrics is a lot more technical and PageSpeed insights, I think it's kind of in the middle of that. So depending on who you are catering to, who you're trying to give this report to, to get things fixed, you might use one or the other. So figuring out what is the low hanging fruit and using the tool that gives you the best insight into that for the audience that you're trying to convince. Is it a C level? Is it a other marketer? Is it someone from the tech side? Like, is this a developer? Then you probably pick a different tool. Next question comes from Honor. Honor is asking, I am testing an almost empty page on DevTool audits. And it usually gives me minimum results which are 0.8 milliseconds for everything and 20 milliseconds for FID, what is FID? First input delay. First input delay, of course. But sometimes it gives worse results for TTI, FCI, and FID. Right, okay, let's talk about these metrics. FID, we have covered first input delay. TTI is time to interactive. That's when you can first interact with a page. And FCI is first CPU idle, which means that there's no more, well, JavaScript work or other work that needs to be done by the CPU. So it's the same page, same code, different numbers. Why would that happen? Well, first things first, these measurements aren't perfect, right? So if it's between 0.8 milliseconds and 20 milliseconds, 20 milliseconds is a lot more than 0.8, but it's still quite a short amount of time if you think about it. You roughly have 10 milliseconds for a single frame to draw. So yeah, 20 milliseconds isn't too bad. So you will always see some basically noise in that measurement. And also don't get too hung up on these metrics specifically. If you see that there's a perceptible problem and there's actually like an issue that your site stays like working on the main thread and doing CPU work for a minute or 20 seconds, that's what you wanna investigate. If it's 20 milliseconds, it's probably fine. Our next question comes from Drew and Drew asks us, what is or are the best metric or metrics to look at when you wanna decide if a page is fast or slow? And why or why not would you just look at things like FCP, which is first contentful paint, FMP, which is first meaningful paint instead of just the scores that these tools give you? Wow. I don't know, Martin. You need to tell me some more about that. Right, okay. So I guess the question here really boils down to what's the metric that you should look at? And that's a really tricky one because I guess it depends on the site. It's the typical, it depends answer. If you have just a website where people are reading your content and not interacting as much then I think first meaningful paint or first contentful paint is probably more important than first interactive delay or first, sorry, first input delay or time to interactive. But if it's a really interactive web application where you want people to immediately jump in and do something then probably that metric is more important. So don't try to break it down and that brings us to the scores. The problem with the scores is they are oversimplifying things, aren't they? Yeah, it sounds like it. I mean, all of these measurements sound like they're measuring different things and ultimately trying to understand what a user would perceive when they access the page. So the score might be, I guess, a simple way to look at it overall but it's probably not all of the details that you'd need. It just gives you a ballpark, really. It's like, how fast is this page? Five, what does that mean? It doesn't really convey meaning, doesn't it? So I would say use that to figure out how you're roughly doing and then use the specific insights the different tools give you to figure out where you have to improve or what isn't going so well. Wow, sounds like speed is a tricky topic and you kind of have to know what you're measuring so that you can take action on the right things. Yep. So would that kind of explain why there's no simple number that Google is just giving? Yeah, so that definitely explains it because if you think about it you can't break down speed into one simple number.  If I'm painting really quickly but then my app is all about interaction, it's a messenger, so I show everything, I show the message history but if I try to answer the message that I just got and it takes me 20 seconds until I actually can tap on the input field and start typing, is that fast? Not really, but is it so important that I can use the contact form on the bottom of a blog post within the first 10 seconds? Not necessarily, is it? So how would you put that into a number? You don't. So I guess speed's hard. Speed? Speed sounds hard. What do you think? Will this get easier? I guess it will get easier but it will never go to a point where you just have a score that you optimize for and be done with it, right? It is such a broad topic that it's really hard to break that down into like one number. Okay, so you imagine the more advanced people will continue to focus on the tiny metrics and counting milliseconds and others will look at kind of a bigger overview picture. I guess so. And together, we'll try to find ways to improve the speed of the pages overall. I think browsers are also doing a lot of work to make things faster in general and easier to understand, but generally speaking, you will still need to go and do the work of figuring out what matters to you, your audience and your website, right? Is it interactive? Is it contentful pains? Depends. That sounds cool, yeah. So I expect more questions on speed on the hashtag Ask Google Webmasters and as we get those questions, we'll ask an expert like Martin who knows all of these three-letter abbreviations and who can help us figure out which ones are the right ones. So thanks for submitting all of these questions and hopefully see you again on one of the future episodes. Hopefully, thank you very much for having me and thanks for all the questions.


What's up everybody back with another bowman first edition 24 pack box break number five Give away at the end of the break member all All card ship in this so get all the cards Siza huh Sean you're wrong sasa definitely not Siza That's like when I Was talking about becoming a DJ with Joe one time Former garage band artists don't do it much anymore, but when I was in my prime My name would be SPY and everyone would say spy But it's really like Jaspie so it'd be speed So it'd be just like that so only like the real cool people the insiders would know how to pronounce it so that's how I feel now about About Siza But it would be speed everyone would say oh spy, but no, it's not like that.

Jasper's case breaks calm Bowman number five in the books


Honestly my favorite part is definitely the 6th and 7th floor, I love that they're like the big windows and all the natural light and also like it's really quiet up here which is always needed when I'm doing homework. I'm DJ Donald, I'm working on a music video here. My favorite part of an audit library is that it gives media students, creatives a place where they have software that's meant to actually help them get to a higher level of performance and creativity. So it's just also a place where like-minded individuals are going to always be so it's just positive to have as your disposal. I'm Ryan Smith, I'm a doctorate of physical therapy student here at Ohio University. My favorite part of the library is good sequestered and spaces. We have some good group study spaces, good quiet spaces and then the silent spaces. So it gives a variety if you want to work in groups or if you want to work individually.


I started my first major business when I was 15 years old. It was the most exciting period of my teenage years, and that's because I wasn't taking it seriously. It was just a hobby that gave me money. And that's what business should be. Today I see many teenagers who think they are too young to start a business, and I wish to speak some sense into such young people. That's what this video is all about. To start with, can you start a business as a teenager? Well, to answer that, simply look at the successful entrepreneurs we have around today. Most of them started their entrepreneurial journey when they were in their teen years. What makes it even easier today is that we have a whole lot of technology that can help any serious entrepreneur manage his business. So now, let me share with you a few tips on how you can make money fast as a teenage entrepreneur. 1. Start a ridiculously small business My first business as a teenage entrepreneur was a bicycle renting service. Then in the small town where I lived, young people were too poor to buy their own bicycles. I got some money from my parents and bought a used bicycle. Then I would rent the bicycle to young boys of my age after school and weekends. A year after, that business led me to another business, now something bigger, a photography business. What usually happens is, the experience you get from starting and running a ridiculously small business tends to help you when you start a bigger one, then another big one till you become successful. Think about this for a moment. Why don't many people have a successful company?  The advantage you have as a teenager is that if you tell yourself the truth, you have all the time in the world to get it right because you're still young. If for instance you start a small business when you're 17 and it fails when you're 18, what have you lost? Nothing. Instead, you've gained some experience and that will help you to become smarter in your next business venture and if you continue trying and learning, you'll be rich faster than you can imagine. Don't be afraid of starting a small business, you're too young to worry about failing. 2. To some rich entrepreneurs as a role model When I decided to become an entrepreneur, I would go to the cyber cafe in my small town and Google the name of some of the most successful entrepreneurs. I would read the quotations and blog posts from these people and watch their videos. They were my fathers. I seriously wanted to become who they were and I wouldn't be surprised if someone discovers that my entire mindset was renewed or replaced with that of these people. That's what it means to have a role model and you need it if you want to be a successful entrepreneur as a teenager. Yeah, I know that a lot of people talk about mentorship and the importance of having a mentor, but the concept of mentorship is nonsense. It doesn't make any sense to me and I'll explain why. First, there are only very few successful people in the world, very few in any industry. The problem with this is that if you focus on getting a mentor, how far can you go searching for one? For example, in the town where I grew up, there was no single successful entrepreneur that I admired living there. They had all left to the city, so if I needed a mentor, where would I find one? Do you see the problem here? Successful people are so scarce that you'll probably not see many people who can be your mentor as a young person, but you can always find a role model to look up to because even the dead can be a role model. Yes, one of the people who helped my entrepreneurial journey most is Napoleon Hill, yet Hill died 16 years before I was born. Instead of looking for mentors, which you may never find, look for successful people who can serve as a role model. What you want to look up to are their mindsets, habits and attitudes, and many successful people have documented these in various ways. The second problem about looking for mentorship is that if someone is successful, he's probably very busy and that's a problem. So many people have asked me to be their mentors, aside from the fact that I don't believe in the concept of mentorship. I am so busy that I'll prefer that these people consume my materials and those of other people. If I've not convinced you with my two opinions, this will convince you mentors, teachers or models are like clothes. You don't need those people forever. If you're growing, you won't need any teacher for more than three years or so, simply because every successful person has great limitations and you'll get to a point while learning from them and discover that you need something they don't have. This is easier to do if they are simply your role models because you can change your teachers without any issues. Still, in the case of having a mentor, you will spend several months to look for a mentor and spend other resources to convince them to mentor you. Two years later, you'll discover that you need to move on, but because you've invested physically and emotionally into this relationship, you want to stay there. You'll start dying because you need more than what your current mentor has to offer. This is what I recommend. Figure out five to ten successful people in your field. Search for their biographies or autobiographies. Read everything you can about them or from them. Follow them on social media if they are still alive and learn as much as you can from them. This way, their mindset becomes yours and their habits will become yours. If at any point you feel you don't need any one of them anymore, simply move on. You don't need a mentor because it's costly. Choose some successful people as role models instead. Three, be, do, have. If you genuinely want to become successful as a teenage entrepreneur, there's a formula I know which can help you out and that is be, do, have. The meaning of this is that you should focus your life on who you're becoming first of all, then on what you are doing before you expect to have all the shiny objects you dream of. Most people do the opposite of this and that's the reason they never become successful. They want to have first and they don't even care about who they are becoming. Let me explain with other words. Wealth and riches are a result of who you are and what you do. Nobody becomes truly rich by having a million dollars. If you want to confirm this, check the history of the lottery winners. If the paper called money makes people rich, then everyone who wins the lottery will remain rich, but the opposite is the case. Lottery winners often become poorer than who they were before they won the lottery, because they have not become rich deep within. If you genuinely want to get rich as a young person and remain rich for the rest of your life, you'll focus on who you're becoming, then what you're doing. Are you becoming wiser and smarter every day? Are you learning from the world around you? Do you find time to read and study situations? Do you learn about marketing, human relationship, negotiation, leadership, and internalize those lessons? To achieve what you have not achieved before, you have to become who you have not become before and do what you've not been doing before. In summary, as a teenager, now is the best period of your life. Go ahead and start that small business. Yes, you're likely to fail and yes, you'll make tons of mistakes, but those obstacles will make you smarter and lead you to become rich faster than most people. Don't go about looking for mentors, because mentors are expensive. Look for people that can be a role model to you and try to become like them. Don't focus on what you want to have, focus instead on who you are to become and what you have to do. If this video makes sense to you, kindly share it with your friends. We love you.
