Let's get a halt down, halting down, halting down. Cover something to the halt down, 6.13. That's what I call a home run. All right everyone, good morning. Today is February 9th, 904 a.m. So let's talk about the market lately. So we are currently in a Chinese theme. That means that any stock that has any sort of Chinese entity or anything that has to do with China is running up, right? So we had a lot of crazy stocks in play, right? We had stocks like Holo, H-O-L-O. Holo is the one that started everything. It went from $2 to $4, and back down to $22. That ignited HKIT, that went from $0.50, $7.50. And back down, it ignited BETS, which went from $1.80 to $4 to $2. The stock Holo started everything. So now what ended up happening is because Holo went crazy, everyone is always looking for the next one, right? Because what ends up happening is this is a typical sector play, sympathy play that we've been teaching for a very, very long time, right? So what ends up happening is people that missed Holo are like, all right, the Chinese theme is hot, the Chinese theme is hot, the Chinese theme is hot, the next Chinese stock that I find, I'm gonna look to buy it, right? So what ends up happening is then HKIT shows up and it goes from one to seven, and then it fails, okay? So as each day passes, guys, this is a very, very important lesson to pay attention. As each day passes, the theme gets weaker and weaker and weaker and weaker, okay? So because the theme is getting weaker and weaker and weaker, today is day three of the theme, right? So today we have stocks like top that are going crazy. And as you guys remember, top was previously my biggest losing trade that I've ever had. So I'm already shell shocked from this ticker a little bit, but the point is, guys, the point is that we are entering day three of these themes and oftentimes after day three, the theme is not as strong. Notice that on day two of the theme, right? HKIT was the day after Holo, the day after it failed the same day. So now we're on day three of the Chinese theme on top. So I have a feeling that this Chinese stock top because it's day three of the sector theme, okay? Not day three of the stock, but day three of the sector theme, I think that there's probably gonna be a very, very high probability that this stock pulls back at some point today. Does that mean shorted pre-market and hope? No, but what I'm gonna wait for is I'm gonna wait for some sort of confirmations, ideally the whole and half dollar marks. So no point in making a plan right now. Just gotta wait and see what it does. But as you can see, HKIT failed. The second day of these runners failed. So today is day three of these runs. It's the same thing as MLGO, right? You guys remember MLGO from yesterday? MLGO ran because it was a Chinese stock from 60 cents to a dollar 70 and closed back down. So this tells me, guys, this tells me that the theme of the Chinese stocks potentially, potentially is now starting to change, right? So I'll have this top on radar. I don't know if and when I'm gonna trade it. The locates were very, very, very cheap today. So yeah, I mean, that's kind of where my mindset is for that. Aside from that, there's a lot of stocks. See, like this is a potential death handle now. So I don't know, I'll think about it. Maybe it bounces back up, I'll take a starter short. But you guys understand what I'm saying right now. You guys understand the thought process is that the first day of a sector run is always the strongest. The second day of a sector run is weaker than the first day. The third day of a sector run is even weaker than the second day, which is already weaker than the first day, okay? So because of that, because that I am thinking, I am anticipating, I am assuming that top if and when it does confirm, right? It may confirm 650, it may confirm seven. I don't know if and when it does confirm, I may have a potential trade-on. And you can already see that towards the half-dollar mark of 750, it's giving it some resistance. So it looks like whole and half-dollar marks would be very, very key on this stock later today. So that's something to pay attention to is keep in mind the whole and half-dollar points on these stocks.   I think it's up 115%. So I got plenty of room to make money if and when it does have its backside moved. So let me start to make the watch list. So as you guys know, the way that I build a watch list, so I always build a previous day's watch list first and there was no watch list yesterday because I was not here. So I'm gonna kind of go to Tom's watch list and I'm gonna kind of go through the ticker from yesterday. So HKIT, HKIT looking for a bounce towards 350, 4, 450, stock has wide range, so I have to use less size. Looking for a bounce toward 350, 4, 450 to short. Stock has wide range, so must use less size. Less size, MLGO, MLGO, bounce towards red degree, 105, 115, 125, 105, 115, 125, lines to short. CCTG, this one I'll be looking for a bounce towards five. Let's say five, six and six, 30. CCTG looking for a bounce towards five, six, six, 32 short. SXTC, again, I'm looking at all the stocks from yesterday. SXTC, maybe 250 line, 270 line, three, BETS. Again, I'm going through them one by one from yesterday. 350 and I'll say four. Today we have top, so top. Today is day three of the China theme. Day one was hollow, day two was HKIT, and day three is top. As each day passes, as each day passes, the theme gets weaker and weaker and weaker. Top is trading high volume right now, so I don't think it is a short yet, but if this stock ends up failing and failing to rebound, I can look for a scalp short only for a scalp short only because the themes, I lack looking for a bounce towards one, 120 and 140, that's why all right. Same thing as yesterday, $5, $5.56, check OKYO. OKYO, yeah, maybe towards $2. TCVP, yeah, TCVP pops towards VWAP, should be good. So a lot on radar today, guys, a lot on radar. Pretty much one of those days where just set your fantasy orders and wait, right? Lots on radar today, a lot on radar. I'm up with the watch just the way now and then just kind of focus. So top, I don't know if I'm gonna take any trades right out of the open just because it's just a little bit sketchy and I have a little bit of PTSD from it. So I'll kind of just wait till I see some sort of confirmations ideally. Reminder, guys, the next week is Valentine's Day, so if you haven't gotten your girl, your side chick, your significant other something, do something about that. What am I doing?  Well, my big thing is, guys, I write cards. I write her a lot of cards, a little bit more personal.  You are lucky, Carlos, you are lucky, my friend. And all these floors, they jack up the prices for Valentine's Day. Normally, let's say a rose is $3 a stem, they charge $7 a stem for Valentine's Day. Maybe you guys watch the Tucker Carlson, Vladimir Putin, have not watched yet. Putin is more sensible than the mainstream media makes him out to be, yeah, of course. Big news for a reason, right? So coming into today, guys, we got about 12 minutes until the market opens. Mind everyone that I'm not a financial advisor. It's not meant to be financial advice. Everything I say or do is for entertainment and educational purposes only. Trading is risky. Yeah, if you're prepared to lose your mind trading, it is not meant to copy or replicate any of my trades. It's more meant to look over the shoulders as I trade every single day. Yeah, 100 million views in seven hours probably gonna be like most watched interview in history. Couple questions. What is the lowest float that you'd ever trade? What is the ideal float? Well, I'm ideally looking for floats that are above 10 million. I do sometimes trade lower floats under 10 million. And if I do trade those lower floats under 10 million, it's with significantly less size. So now that hollow is broken on day three with tons of meat on the bone, why aren't you interested in shorting it? It's because if you look at hollow yesterday, guys, it ran from 19 to 35 in like five minutes, 10, 15 minutes. So chances are that it could easily, easily, easily run back to 30 or 35. So it's not enough high probability if it gapped up and had like some resistance. Yeah, but like the stock trades so thin that I could turn around and be 15. I could turn around and it could be 35. I'd rather be late than early, you know. 720 had a little bit of a seller there. I took a small 1000 share starter on top. Again, I'm not gonna go heavy yet. Heavy for me would be 20,000, 30,000 shares. I'm just gonna look to scalp it for now. I saw that seller at 720. So I just jumped in front of him. But again, I'm not trying to be here with a partial position. I'm trying to wait and get a better entry or cover this on scalp. Have to assume that it's gonna bounce at some point. But for now, I just covered half 70s. So I just took that 1000 shares. I covered it, just kind of reset a little bit. I saw that 720 seller, so I jumped in front of him. But I'm still kind of waiting. I'd rather be a little bit late to the party than early. So if it tanks, it tanks, but I'll be looking out for a bounce. So far, failing. Gonna cover the last bit I have. So cover the last bit, maybe a little bit too early. That's fine. So top, we'll be watching him bounce to short. We'll be watching top for a bounce to short slowly. Got a short there, 70. So I got that short towards VWAP just a little bit, but that looks like it's failing already. So I wanna see if I can get an ad or something. Well, it does look like it's failing, but I don't have too big of a position yet. I wanna get like so insanely aggressive, like so early, you know? So I don't know yet. I don't wanna get too heavy yet. Just in case it bounces. I've got another ad there in the 70s, but I wanna be extra cautious. It's not heavy yet. Not heavy yet. I still think that this could easily ramp back up. Could easily ramp back up. 680s. 690s. I'll add there, 688. Top. Okay, so it looks like it's failing. Trying to get some more added on top because it looks like it's failing there. Definitely looks like a fail. Got the rest of my fills, 688. I'm at about half size right now. Still don't trust it, still don't trust it. Wanna see some sort of death candle. Ideally, what signal I would need is I would need it to be under 650s, 7s now. Waiting to see if 7 rejects. Trying to add here on that death candle. So far, potential stuff candle, but it's not failing as fast as I thought it would. So if we break out here, right? If we break the 720s, I'll just probably trim some. That way I could reassess. I don't wanna see a death candle in a reclaim, right? So it's kind of strong here. So I might just cover my ad. Well, it looks a little bit strong here, guys. So I'm gonna trim the ad. So I covered out some of the ad that I had just in case it likes to ramp. If it fails, which it looks like it's failing, I'll add it back. It's gonna easily keep going. I just want to protect myself a little bit. It's a good cover on some. So again, that 740 line now to re-add a little bit. So re-add it on that resistance now. Better entry, kind of looks like a fail, to be honest. Okay, so we're ramping up. Might have to cover that ad again. Okay, another fail. That looks like a fail to me. So add it on that fail, add it. That's a high-to-date fail right now. Money flow into INBS. Or starting to get a new stock. Taking money flow, which is good. So I see a death candle here, guys. I see a death candle. So I'm reacting off that death candle. So I would need to see at least a 676 confirmation. Right now we have INBS taking the money flow. So that's gonna help our trade. So top, INBS money flow. Money flow, INBS is gonna help our trade. Added more top into this weakness. 650 will confirm it. Looking for that 650 melt here, guys. I'm looking for the 650 melt. Reminding myself, this is day three of the China place. INBS is the new money flow. So hopefully INBS takes money out of this. Once again, 650 confirmation is what I'm looking for. It's looking like it's gonna come. Watching to see if I can get an ad. 650 breaks. Watching that 650 break for an ad. So far, double top at the high of the day. Death candle. So it has all the signals. And on top of that, there's a new hot stock moving. So that new hot stock should take attention off of this. 650 is my ad spot. So just as a recap, I took an ad here at the 750 line. When it death candle, I added. I added all the death candle confirmation. Now I'm just looking for the 650, half dollar confirmation to add. And then we should see it move towards low of the day. Remember, this stock trades full and half dollars. Very, very well. So we gotta watch seven, 650, et cetera. But as of now, I'm looking to add on the 650 line if I get it. So 650 watching. And on the trigger, 650. Added 650.  Let's get a hold down. Let's get a hold down, halting down, halting down. Covered some into the hold down, 613. That's what I call a home run. That's what I call a home run. That's what I'm talking about, baby. Let's go. That is, I don't know about you guys, but that is picture perfect to me. I don't know what else to say on that one, guys. 599 indication, 599 indication. Let's draw our support lines. The trade's not over, guys. The trade is not over. Draw our support lines, 580. 580s. So next cover zone is 580s. All right, still got some. Man, I wish I had more size. God damn. Okay, no problem. No problem. Why am I complaining? Why am I complaining? Remember when I started this, guys? Remember when I started this, I was like the only thing that's kind of sketching me out about top is that there's no other money flow on stock? Well, IMBS, the moment IMBS got money flow, right? That was at what time? It was at 940 a.m. 940 a.m., do you see a coincidence here? Do you see a coincidence here? The moment that IMBS got money flow, money flow exited, money flow exited. So let's just recap this chart really quick, guys. I took a starter, 1000 shares, covered the dip. Looking for that VWAP rejection when it didn't reject VWAP and ended up breaking the high of the day, I covered out, started to reshort at the resistance of 750 when we got the high of the day rejection death candle added, added, added on 650 half dollar fail and boom, cover some on the way. So now, again, the support is in the 580s, $6 area. So I'm gonna look to cover some of my support and then look to reshort it on a bounce. Does that make sense? Does that make sense so far? So I wanna lock in some gains on the dip and then reshort it, risking those gains on a bounce. Does that make sense? And as I mentioned at the beginning of this live trade, guys, what day of the sector move are we on? As each day passes, the sectors get weaker and weaker and weaker and weaker. Today was day three of the sector, right? Day three of the sector. This is textbook, guys, textbook MIC strategy, textbook. So I'm gonna be on the dip to cover some at support. Okay, open woolly, covered some on the dip. I was not expecting that, 580s hit, 580s hit. I covered some at what, 603 I got. You see that 580 line? I got a pretty good cover there, sixes, okay? 93 covered more. This is support, guys. This is support. I should be covering more here at support. I'm gonna try to cover some more at support. When the support comes, I wanna cover it. This is what I'm doing. I'll be back on a bounce. Oh, wow, so I got a pretty good cover there, 601. Holy, I didn't even notice I covered there. Wow, great, fantastic. Let's reshort this, 622 reshorting. Wow, amazing cover. So far so good, 627 covered, made shorter more. Oops, 630, shorter more. More and more, 45. I'm reshorting the bounce, guys. When I covered at six, I'm reshorting it. That's why I covered at six to reshorte the pop. To reshorte the pop. I'll keep reshorting the pops, guys. I'm gonna keep reshorting the pops. Now I locked in a bunch of gains on the dip. I locked in a bunch of gains on the dip at support, like I mentioned. Now I'm riding the house's money. And as IMBS continues to take money flow, I feel more confident. I want IMBS to keep going as high as possible, to take as much money flow as possible. This is why we always lock in gains on dips, guys. Lock in gains on dips in case something goes wrong. Covered some of that ad, 618. So just trimmed some of those ads to be able to maybe get a better entry. I'm ultimately looking for a low-of-the-day retest. So I have locked in gains on the dips, and now I'm just kind of pressing for more if I could get it. I'm pressing for more if I could get it. You avoid IMBS from the watchers. To be honest, guys, if the top wasn't moving, I would have traded it. I just wanted to focus all of my attention on top, and it kind of saved me. Kind of saved me. Now I have locked in gains, guys, and I'm just risking some of my locked in gains to push this trade even bigger. IMBS, the key area I see, guys, is 380s. Over a fade, top, fail. Covered some more, 610. So you see what I'm doing, guys? You see what I'm doing? I'm covering the dips to re-add the bounces. I'm covering the dips to re-add the bounces. 607, covered more. 603, covered more. So you see what I did there, guys? You see what I did? I covered the dip to re-add the bounce, and now I covered those. Now, what do you think I'm gonna do again if it bounces? What do you think I'm gonna do again? I'm gonna re-short the bounce. But either A, it dips under six for more, or B, I re-short the bounce. So now I'm just adding gains and adding gains and adding gains now. And because I locked in gains on the dip, it allows me to be significantly more patient, guys. Got an add there, 20. Got an add 24, partial fill. What about to the well too many times? I mean, yes, it's possible if it starts to reclaim a little bit, I will stop recycling.   So I wanna see $6 break here, guys. Okay, let's get that low of a day retest. Come on, that's what I'm talking about, dude. That is exactly what I'm talking about. Come on. Still not over yet, still not over yet. Remember to cover some, cover some, cover some, I covered some to protect myself. Why? The same thing that happened here, guys, could happen there, that was the same thing. I protect myself, protect myself. I am protecting myself. You know what's gonna happen, right? I'm gonna cover and then the bottom's gonna fall out. That's what's gonna happen, right? That's what's gonna happen. That's the textbook Alex indicator. So like I said, guys, I covered some on the dip at 570s and once again, I'm gonna do the same thing over if we get a bounce. IMBS continuing up, that's helping. We want IMBS to bounce as much as possible, guys, to take the money flow away. Very, very good covers on the dip there, guys. Add there. Oh, there we go, yeah. Got an add there. That's why I locked in, I locked them in. Now anyone that didn't lock in on the dip is now covering into this bounce. IMBS continues, keep going, please keep going, please keep going. This is a perfect setup, guys, because IMBS is taking the money flow. If top was the singular stock moving today, it'd be a lot tougher to trade. But because IMBS is taking the money flow, it is helping a lot. So I'm looking for another dip to cover that of some of this top. Hey, guys, I'm pretty much all out here on top on this dip to six. I'm gonna take the money and run. I'm gonna take the money and run here. So let me see. Locked in. One second, let me just take a screenshot. Locked in $22,700, baby, let's go. Let's go. Today is 22,713, second two.  Let's run that so far for the month, guys. $32,000. Pretty solid trading today. I mean, I would say I did everything right with the sizing, with the patience. The only thing I did wrong is maybe not being a little bit more patient, right? So that's it for me, guys. Done trading in about 30 minutes today. It is a textbook MIC trade. And this is a very good lesson on the sympathy plays and the days of the sector. This was the final day of the sector. So I went in a little bit heavier, right? Notice on day one of the sector, I'm not really doing that. I'm waiting for the sector to weaken up and then I'm doing it. That's it, guys. Call it a day here. Really appreciate you and thanks.


I gotta say, I really, really, really enjoyed this movie. Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here today. I wanna do a little movie review on a movie called Wild Things. Now I did see the unrated version. I've seen this movie twice. I have not seen the normal version of it. This movie has really kind of blown me away. This is, you know, one of the best movies I've seen recently for sure out of the last, I don't know, 20, 30 movies. It's gonna be either my favorite or like my second favorite. I was really blown away by this movie. And I'd always heard about it.  I'll kind of get to that later on. I feel like that kind of writes off this movie as, oh, it's just that one movie with these crazy kind of sex scenes. I just thought this movie was gonna suck. And then I remember some people talking good about it. I know that it has the girl from Screaming It two years later. And then I heard somebody else saying like, oh, the masterpiece that is Wild Things. So I'm like, well, let's just check it out. And I gotta say, I really, really, really enjoyed this movie. For the kind of movies that I like, the kind of person that I am, it's a very, very sexual movie through and through till the end. There's this almost constant sexual tension constantly. Most of the time it's actually done in this way to where it's very obvious, but they kind of hold back from it being over the top, but it's always just obviously sexual. So that's just gonna be happening in the whole movie. And it's basically about this like guidance counselor or this teacher, he like teaches people with boats. And then apparently one of the cheerleaders accuses him of rape later on and then takes him to court. That's kind of like the basic synopsis. That's kind of how the movie goes for about 50 minutes. Kind of like this back and forth courtroom thing down in Louisiana or Florida or something like that. This movie goes way further than that. I just kind of want to give you the basic information because I don't want to spoil anything. So if I were to go in the prose of this movie, the prose was that it had a unique vibe through and through. I can't really think of a movie that has this kind of a vibe.  And it's got this like kind of like funky vibe to it at the same time. And I just really can't think of another movie like this. And it's really hard for me to even put this in any genre. It's like, is this a thriller? Is this like a mystery? Is this like a slasher? Somebody like taking out people. It has elements of a lot of different stuff in this movie. And I really don't even know where I would classify it. I mean, probably a thriller. I would say the first 50 minutes is really interesting because it sets up this whole world and you don't know anything about any twists. And you almost don't think there's going to be any twists. There's almost no need to. It's already a pretty interesting story, how it wraps up about 50 minutes. But this movie twists so much. And at number one, I wasn't expecting any twists. And then on top of that, it twists and twists and twists. And it's kind of hard to even, you know, guess what's going to happen. I would say most people are going to not expect a twist and not expect anything to happen later on. You have something in store that's really big and grand and you're able to hide it from me. I just really appreciate that. And this movie was really, really engaging because of that. I mean, I was bored almost at no point in this movie. I watched it. I absolutely loved it. And then I put it on for my friend. I'm like, hey dude, let's just watch like 10 minutes of this movie. And we ended up watching the full thing. But even after just seeing it like a month or so ago, I was pretty impressed with this whole story. And with the twist, it actually is nice to rewatch it from the perspective of the twist. And I will say, paying attention to this movie, I did notice a whole big aspect to the story that I missed certain people are related. You find that at the very end, but I completely missed that about this movie. And there was just so much to it. It's so engaging and it moves just at the right pace. Like once you find out some new information, they don't waste your time. You know, that people take that information and they act. I just found it to be paced really well and had really, really good twist and start for you. And then the last pro is that I really like a movie with good scenery and unique scenery. This movie has a lot of beach shots, but it's also like down in Florida. So it's got a very Florida style feel. Lots of going through the glades, lots of crocodiles. There's just so much really good scenery in this movie. And I just, I enjoy that personally when I'm watching something, getting taken away to a different place that's also enjoyable. Really like the scenery of this movie. Let's jump into the cons of this movie. I don't really have too, too many. And again, I watched the unrated version. So I'm unaware what the normal version of this movie is. I actually might prefer the normal version of this movie. Possibly I'm not sure. I'd have to see what is different about it. But my main con is the really long sexual scenes in this movie now. I don't really mind sexual scenes in a movie at all. But when you have like two minutes of long drawn out sex scenes, there's very few people that I would want to watch something like that with, like even with my friend or even with a girl like, okay, show me some stuff. Okay, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds. We get what's going on. There's sites online if you want to see long lengthy videos like that. I'm trying to watch a movie, you know? To be honest, I'm a guy, I don't really care. There's so many people that would love this movie that I would suggest to them right now. But with those scenes in it, it's like, I don't know, it's just, it holds me back from recommending it because it's just so out there and in your face and long. But that's just me personally. Again, probably it's worse on the unrated version. It's probably cut down so much more. So that's why I was saying I'd probably prefer the normal version of this movie. And I'm sure some people absolutely love that about this movie. I can completely understand it, but I just would recommend this to so many more people if those scenes were just a little bit lighter. And really the only other con I have besides that was that it has some dated looks. Like in the beginning, you know, they're driving around, they got some super 90s ska punk rock going a few times. And then, you know, everybody's on cell phones and the landline phones. And you could just tell that they're really, really dated. It didn't really bother me because I remember that time, but I could really, you know, just had to put that in there. It is noticeably dated, but to be honest guys, I really couldn't think of anything else wrong with this movie. I loved it the first time I watched it and I loved it now. I actually just watched a movie called Brick from 2005. And I thought that that movie, but I thought that I liked Brick from 2005 more than this movie. But after rewatching it, I'm not too sure. Versus Brick, I found that this one is just more easy to watch. It's very flashy. It just has so much things going for it. I just really appreciated it. And like I said, I would recommend it to pretty much anybody who likes a good thriller, except that it has some of those crazy long sex scenes in this movie that just kind of fill out a place, especially once you get to the end because those scenes have almost no even meaning by the end. But if I was to rate this movie, it's hard for me not to rate this movie like a nine. I'm gonna be honest with you. Like I wanna say 8.5 to a nine, but I'm looking at the flaws and I'm like, I don't see them. I like the actors. I liked scenery. I like the twists. I wasn't taken out of it. I'm gonna have to go nine out of 10, really enjoy this. Should you buy it, stream it or pass it? I'm gonna be honest guys, I think this movie is worth a buy. I just really, really enjoyed it. And like I said, the hardest part to get through is those scenes, but I'm sure there's people out there watch this movie who love that movie. And I love those scenes. And I don't want them taken out. It's nice to have them like available to watch. I just feel like the regular cut might be just a little bit better. I wish I could see the comparison so I would know. But anyways guys, I absolutely loved Wild Things. I'll be very interested to see what you think about it down below. Do you know a movie that's similar to this? Because I feel like this movie jumps between so many genres that it just comes down as a unique style movie. Like I just don't have another movie. Like if I'm craving to watch Wild Things and to have the vibe of Wild Things, I don't think anything else will do it besides this movie. But we're on the road to 50,000 subscribers and I could not do it without any of you guys. Hope you guys are the best. I'm having a great day out here. Hopefully I'm having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.


Our police in Cameroon have fired tear gas on residents of an informal settlement close to an airport in the seat of Douala who are resisting eviction. The government says the residents are illegally occupying land and will not be compensated or some of them have left next to Newport Airport for decades despite repeated attempts to move them. In January almost 200 families were forced out of their homes according to local rights groups.

What is the problem that you are solving and how it's going to how it's going to work?


What are you eating? I'm eating potato. I think it's chicken, bacon and sausage. You know I don't take wheat, things like bread, mandazi, like I take what I don't, I'm not taking because I know my body heat makes me feel bloated. Wow. Yeah and stuff like that. Let me tell you something. Hey babe. Yeah? You know I don't take egg. Huh? What do you mean? I don't take egg. How? And you're eating? Egg makes me hot a lot babe.

You too, team keep it clean what's going on in St. Graven here with another video and I'm about to start charging these boys, man. I'm about to start charging these boys straight up. The reason I say that is because it's not coincidental anymore. It's really not. We do the video should the Raven sign Rodney Hutton. What happens very, actually that very same day. The very same day the raiders are like, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're not cutting him. We're gonna trade him and they traded him to the Cardinals. What happened again? Should the Raven sign Juju Smith Schuster? What happens the very next day? This dude's market was not hot at all. Very next day after the video, boom, his market heats up. He ends up signing with Pittsburgh. Then we do the video talking about Kenny Galladay and Raven's talking to him. What happens the very next day or was it two days later? I forget, but either way, he ended up signing with the New York Giants. So then following that up, we make the questions from subscriber video. Should the Raven sign Sammy Watkins and what happens the very next day? Comes out that Sammy Watkins is scheduled to visit with the Baltimore Ravens. I'm charging these boys from now on, man. For real, because it's like we're an agent that's not getting paid. We're getting paid, but not from these guys. Who we getting jobs? They're getting much more of a significant amount of money. But anyway, team keep it clean. Ravens bringing in Sammy Watkins. Now, y'all know that's, um, that wouldn't be my first choice. Y'all already know it straight up. We talked about it on the stream. We talked about it plenty of time. Sammy Watkins will not be my first choice. It wouldn't be my second or third. Now we know what Sammy Watkins is capable of. We know that outside receiver. He done made plenty of plays throughout his NFL career, which actually started in Buffalo. I actually had the privilege of getting to see Sammy Watkins last game at Clemson in person. I remember one night, uh, it was a bowl game. Me and my wife were just like, you know, let's, let's just go, let's go to a bowl game. Let's go to a bowl game, uh, because it was right there at, uh, at Dolphin Stadium. And we just like, uh, whatever might as well. So we went. Uh, but anyway, Sammy Watkins started his career off with the Buffalo Bills.  But the thing with Sammy Watkins is just the engine, the injuries. I think he's only played one 16 game season in the entirety of his career. And that was his rookie year thing. Yeah, his rookie year. He, that's the only time he played a full 16 2015. He missed three games the following year. He missed eight games the following year. He missed, uh, one game the following year. He missed, uh, six, no, seven games. No, no, no, six games, uh, the following year. He missed two games in last year. He missed six.  If they signed Sammy Watkins, they only going to get him for the playoffs. That's when that's the only time he'll be available for the playoffs. But now it's thinking like, well, that'll be the only time we need them because regular season Ravens. Y'all already noticed regular season Ravens. We are not worried about those guys whatsoever. We're not. And that's not on no cocky tip, anything like that. That's not on no arrogant fan base tip and it's nothing like that. But we know in the regular season, Ravens going to take care of their business. They're going to take care of their business where we're more concerned that is the playoffs. It's the playoffs. But of course, having more guys, having more weapons, having more firepower in the regular season. If you get used to that in the regular season, then come playoffs. It'll be a much smoother transition. At least that's the hope for it. Now, we're speaking of Sammy Watkins. It just it almost makes too much sense because he, of course, he worked under G-Roy one year. It was a thousand yard receiver thing called like eight, nine touchdowns that year. So he's been with G-Roy and I believe it's Keith Williams. That work that has worked with him a lot already. I believe it's Keith Williams. If it's T-Martin, my apologies. But so he's familiar with Ravens coaching staff. He's familiar with them. And it just it just makes too much sense. Almost feel like it makes too much sense to where he won't end up signing right away. I don't know, man. I just I feel like he won't even sound right away. Everything just makes too much sense. Sammy Watkins to the Ravens. This is what they do. This is what they do. Now, my opinion, call me greedy if you want to. I don't even care. I don't think that should be it. I do not think this should be it. I don't. I do not think this is the end all be all move at the wide receiver position for the Ravens. And I still feel like they should trade for somebody. I still feel like they should. Seriously, don't put all your and this no offense to Sammy Watkins, but based off of his career Ravens can't go into this season. If you really trying to provide for Lamar Jackson, you really trying to provide for your franchise quarterback? Go all in. Go all in. There's no excuses. I don't want to hear about nothing about the salary cap. The cap is cap. Go all in for Lamar Jackson. I'm not saying destroy the future anything like that, but go in for Lamar. Sammy Watkins again hasn't played a full 16 since when his rookie year, his rookie year was 2014. That was seven years ago. Hasn't played a full 16 then. And again, that's not hate. That's just facts. Those are the numbers. That's what it is. So you can't put all of your trust into one Sammy Watkins. Go get somebody else who's ready right here right now. Have options have options. If you end up saying signing Sammy Watkins. Okay, cool. That's not it though. That does not need to be it. Ravens. I'm sure they still are, but they need to be on the phones. They need to be talking to these different teams and whatnot who the team that got a plethora receivers or a team that might be in rebuild mode right now. They need to take advantage of that and look for a premier young guy who is available to and what I mean when I say this is that when it comes to players that are injury prone, you cannot keep relying on them. It's going to be your Achilles heel every time. The one of the biggest reasons I say this because we as Ravens fans have a lot of experience with Jimmy Smith. Jimmy Smith amazing player. Amazing phenomenal player phenomenal cornerback. But what used to happen when the Ravens put all of their eggs in that one Jimmy Smith basket when Jimmy Smith fell apart tire team fell apart not just the defense entire team fell apart tire team, but especially the defense. They couldn't do it. They couldn't do it. This is why I also say Tavon and these play love all these players again. It's nothing personal. Y'all already know that we love all these players love Jimmy Smith love Tavon young, but it's the same exact thing same exact thing. You cannot put all your eggs in those bad Ravens. They need to go get a slot cornerback to they need to go get a slot cornerback Marlon Humphrey. Yeah, he plays well there. He's inside outside guy, but he's mainly for the outside. That's what you got him for. That's what you drafted him for. That's where he plays the best that on the outside.  Marcus Peters outside corner.  No Anthony Avery. There's also outside corner to get you a slot corner. I know Tay Tay is coming back and we love Tay Tay. Tay Tay has been hurt more often than not. So you can't put all your eggs in that basket. So it's the same exact thing to me. My opinion with Sammy Watkins. Know what he's capable of. Know what Tay Vaughn Young's capable of. Know what Jimmy Smith's capable of. We know what these guys are capable of. But you feel me. So again, it's a move that makes sense. It's a move that would upgrade the Ravens wide receivers. But it shouldn't be the end point Blake period. So it shouldn't be anyway. Team keep it clean. Appreciate y'all. I love y'all and I'm out man. The Raven be getting me fired up boy.


It's one thing to show Alzheimer's benefits in a petri dish. It's quite another to show benefit in a human population. That came two years later. About 1,800 people will fall for about eight years. In the beginning of the study, they asked how often everyone drank any kind of juice, and then sat back and watched to see who would get Alzheimer's. By the end of the study, it appeared that those who drank fruit and vegetable juices had a 76% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's. They conclude that fruit and vegetable juices may play an important role in delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease. What could it be? Here's the nutrition facts label for purple grape juice on the left. According to the label, there's basically nothing in it. Not even any vitamin C. And indeed, that's what the study found even after controlling for antioxidant vitamin intake, vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene. Well, a quarter the risk of Alzheimer's. Based on the nutrition label, do you think it was just sugar water? Practically indistinguishable from Coca-Cola. In fact, the grape juice has got even more sugar, 9 spoonfuls per cup compared to 7 in Coke. But it just looks like sugar water because the labels don't list phytonutrients. If they did, the Coke label would remain the same, but the grape juice label would spill down and roll along the floor like Santa's List. And this would just be like the first page, right? There are thousands of phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables missing in junk foods and animal foods, yet never listed on the labels. The leading candidate, class of compounds responsible for the protection against Alzheimer's are the phenolics, like flavones and flavonones and flavonols, which in many cases can rapidly cross the blood-brain barrier. There are more than 5,000 different types of flavonoids in the plants we eat. Research suggests that within minutes of biting into an apple, for example, these phytonutrients are already starting to light up our brain.


Hi, everyone. Welcome back to the second session. It's had a good break. Cool. So let's just, let's, let's resume from where we left off, and if it's okay with you, I want to reiterate the eight points we covered in the last session. Okay. Very quickly. Point one is why miracles, healing, and deliverance, some of the biblical reasons, because it reveals the reality in the nature of God. It reveals His greatness. It shows that He is compassionate. It shows what the importance Jesus gave to miracles in His ministry. It talks about the kingdom of God. It's the kingdom of power that breaks, that brings deliverance, breaks bondages, heals the sick, cleanses the lepers, etc, raises the dead. It's His, the kingdom of God is the kingdom with power. And the gospel is to be preached with accompanying signs and wonder. And miracles encourages people to believe for more of the supernatural. Right? So those were the eight points that we covered in the last class. And and so let's continue. I want to just very briefly mention about these two points that, that one of the key points that I mentioned earlier in the beginning is every believer can do this, right? We are expected to do this. And Jesus, Jesus expected us to do, to live like him. Right? So that's one of, that was one of the key points that I mentioned when we started off, isn't it? And so you look at, let's go to page 23 at the very bottom. Page 23 says in your notes, it says God's desire, God's desire, the supernatural through every believer. Right? Once again, reading from John chapter 14 verse 12, most assuredly, I say to you, He who believes in me, the works that I do, He will also do, and greater works than these He will do, because I go to my Father. Because I go to my Father. Right? That verse is just filled with so much of goodness. We can talk about it all day. Right? So in short, coming back to that point is that He desires all of us to work and move in the supernatural. Right? Now, how can we do that?  Right? Sonship glory is given to all believers. Now, when you study some, you'll study about the humanity of Jesus Christ in the subject of Christology. Okay? Selina Mam is teaching that. And so one of the things that you will study is about the humanity of Jesus Christ. Okay? When He came down to earth, He was all God, all man. Right? But then He was, because of the limitations of being in a human body, He who was omnipresent could not be omnipresent. Right? And there's so many things. He was sleepy. He slept. He was hungry. He ate. Right? He was tired. He would get weary. So all of those points towards the humanity of Jesus. Right? In Philippians chapter two verse seven, it says, He made Himself of no reputation. Right? Philippians chapter two verse seven, that's mentioned in the notes in the book, page 25, actually. Right? When Jesus walked the earth, He was all God and all man, deity and humanity met together. He was deity in origin and identity. However, He laid aside the powers of the deity, the eternal glory of omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, and these could not be contained in a flesh and blood human body. Okay? And hence it's mentioned in Philippians two seven, made Himself of no reputation, which is a Greek word, simply means Kino, means to empty one's self. So in short, everything that Jesus did, He did it with these two things. One, He was filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. Two, with the sonship glory, which was bestowed on Him. At the bottom of page 25, we see in Luke chapter four, it was 1819, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me. Okay? He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. Okay? He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery for the sight, recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. Okay? You see the progression. Now, this is of course being, is a prophecy being quoted from Isaiah, right? That Jesus is quoting. See the progression of the verse, the spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has anointed me to preach. Okay? And one of the points that we did and covered in the last session is that the preaching of the gospel should be accompanied by signs and wonders of supernatural ministry. That's exactly what is happening here in this verse. In page 26, we see that Acts chapter 10 verse 38. Acts chapter 10 verse 38, it says, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Okay? He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. Right? So Jesus was, Jesus did everything he did with the power of the Holy Spirit because on him. And then finally we see in Acts chapter 1 verse 5 and 8, for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. Verse 8 says, but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You shall be witness to me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. Right? So the baptism of the Holy Spirit is still available for us today. It has not ended. It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can do what Jesus did and secondly through the sonship glory given to all believers. Right? Page 26 of the bottom it says in John chapter 1 verse 14 says, and the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. And now the key scripture in John chapter 17 verse 5 22, very important in page 27 it says, and now, oh Father, glorify me together with yourself. Okay, glorify me together with yourself with the glory which I had with you before the world was and the glory which you gave me I have given them that they may be one just as we are one. Amazing isn't it? John chapter 17 is a very pivotal chapter in the Gospel of John actually in the Holy Testament. Right? It's Jesus interceding for us for you and me. Right? It's amazing how Jesus is saying, okay, now glorify me the glory that I had with you before the world began and then and the glory which you gave me I have given them. Okay, just check out the authority and the power that Jesus has. Okay, the glory that you gave me I am giving to them just as you and I are one so they can also be one. Right? So with these two things, right? Holy Spirit is made available for all of us because of what Jesus did on the cross. Right? The baptism of the Holy Spirit we emphasize that in our church we have sessions on the baptism of the Holy Spirit and we're teaching on the importance of it. Right? So baptism of the Holy Spirit and the sonship glory and because of these two things that is made available for you and me, we can do what Jesus did. Okay, what are the two things guys? The Holy Spirit, the power of the Holy Spirit is made available for you as one and secondly, your identity as the sons and daughter of the Most High God. Amen? Yeah, cool. Okay, I hope you guys are with me. So let's just continue. Right? As we go forward, you know, we're going to ask, address some of the important questions. Right? One of the key important questions that we're going to just talk about from page 28 onwards is this, why are we not demonstrating more of God's power? Okay, why is every church that's ever been planted is moving in the supernatural? What are some of the reasons? Right? Bill Johnson says this the best. He says, Bible study without Bible experience is waste. That's stayed with me for a, I don't know for how long it's going to stay with. Okay, Bible study without Bible experiences. Yeah, it's a waste. That's what he says. So anyways, so let's, let's address some, you know, this question. Why are we not demonstrating more of God's power? Okay, the first point is lack of knowledge. Okay, lack of knowledge. Isaiah chapter 13 says, therefore my people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge. And Hosea chapter four verse six says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Okay, knowledge comes with teaching.  And remember the very first point was the Ministry of Supernatural and Deliverance is it unveils who God is. Right? And with that revelation, with that unveiling comes a knowledge of who God is, right? We get to know the nature of God. And in without seems like without the teaching or enough emphasis on those topic on this topic, there is no knowledge. So this is one of the things that hinders us or stops us from moving in the power of God. First one is the lack of knowledge. Second is wrong teaching concerning the supernatural. Okay, wrong teaching concerning the supernatural, right? In page 29, there's a scripture that's mentioned from Mark chapter seven was eight, nine and 13. In page 29, there's a scripture that's mentioned there. Mark chapter seven was eight, nine and 13. Read it for us. It says, for laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men. Okay, the washing of pictures and cups and many other such things you do. He said to them, all too well you reject the commandment of God that you that that you may keep your tradition.  Okay, seems like tradition, we give more importance to the tradition that's been passed on from generation to generation and hence that has led to false teaching or wrong teaching regarding the supernatural, right? Some of the claims or teaching that's going around is the three points that's mentioned there is it was only for Bible times. It is not for us today, right? Succession, that's what we're talking about, right? In those days, they did not have medical help as we do today and hence they needed supernatural power of God to help, right? You get what I'm talking about, right? This whole thing ended when the last apostle died. You know, that's the idea or the teaching of succession, isn't it? Can you imagine, you know, Paul, sorry, John, he was the last apostle, known apostle to die.   That's not true, isn't it? That's, again, the wrong teaching. Recently, there was, I think, Pastor Nancy and the sermon is available on our website. It's the same Jesus who lived, right? And the same Jesus who did everything that he did can do the same things today. That's why we have the scripture in the Hebrews, right? He's the same yesterday, today and forever.  Opening the eyes of the blind, you know, healing the mute, healing the deaf, etc., etc., right? Jesus has not changed, right? If this is what Jesus did in his time on earth, this is what he wants to do and he's doing right now, okay? So, that's the second, you know, reason why we are not moving, we are not demonstrating more of God's power. When I say we, it's the church in general, the global church. It's not pointing any particular church or any denomination as such. When we say church, it's a universal church, right? So, that's the second point. And the third one is being leaving the miracle ministry reserved for an elite few. We still have to drive that point which says every believer can do this and somehow we seem to have an idea. Again, it comes with the teaching or I don't know what understanding is that, okay, it's only for the healing ministry of so-and-so or the miracle ministry of so-and-so and whatnot. I'm sure, you know, in Ephesians 4 verse 11, you know, it is true that the Lord Jesus has appointed some people to be evangelists in the body of Christ who are, you know, who are workers of miracles with gifts of healings, etc. I'm in page 30, by the way. So, while we recognize those called to be healing evangelists and others in the five-fold ministry, ministry gift in the body of Christ, we also understand that God intended for all believers to pray, heal the sick and cast out devils by the authority of Jesus' name, right? That is a commandment, isn't it? I think it's very convenient for us to obey, obey selective followers of selective commands, right? Okay, I will choose to obey this command. I will not choose to obey that command, right? One of the points that it kind of stood out to me is in Ephesians chapter 5 where Paul writes about, it's a commandment. He says, do not be drunk with wine, but be filled with the Spirit. Okay, the first point seems to be, you know, very clear, easy, you know, do not be drunk with wine. Sure, sure, brother, pastor, no, I'm a Christian, I, you know, I don't, even during Christmas and Easter, I don't, you know, I don't drink wine. But what about the second half of that commandment, okay, but be filled with the Spirit? How many of us in the church can say that I am free with the Spirit? How many of us can say that I obeyed the second half of the commandment as well, right? So we cannot be selective in the Church of Commandments that we want to follow and not, right? This is a commandment. Every believer can do this. We are called to do this. We are commanded by Jesus, our Teacher, our Master, our Lord and Savior to do this, right? So we need to drive that home, you know, saying, okay, this is not just for the elite few, it's for all of us, it's all our call to walk in the supernatural, right? And point four, replacing the supernatural with modern substitutes, somehow again, you know, we become content with technology or with good programs, you know, just amazing concerts with lights and whatnot. And all of that, we do all of that at APC, right? We believe in just producing, being good, getting better month after month, without production, right? We depend on technology, thankful to technology, because this is happening, right? Classroom is happening. I mean, so we are thankful for that, right? We are not negating, you know, discounting that fact at all. But can we be satisfied with that? No. Right? At the bottom of this, we need to continue, we need to pursue and push and place emphasis on the presence of God, you know, followers of His presence, pursuers of the presence of God, which leads to the supernatural, right? That's the fourth thing. Again, guys, just want to pause and reiterate that question that we are addressing, which is, why are we not demonstrating more of God's power? So everything we are discussing is connected to that question, right? Why are we not demonstrating more of God's power? So the points that we've covered so far is one, because lack of knowledge and wrong teachings that's out there, it's more dangerous because of everything that's available on YouTube now. And then we, some of us believe that it's only for the elite few, certain ministry and whatnot. And then we are satisfied with good programs. Let's put it that way. That's point four. And moving on, in page 31 is point five, unwilling to press in till we see more of His power displayed. Unwilling to press in. And in Matthew 11, 12, it says, From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Very popular scripture, isn't it? You know, the violent shall take it by force. It's simply pointing again metaphorically saying that there is no enough desire. There is no enough want or pursuit. There is no intent or intensity in our prayers to wanting more of God. Are you guys with me? Okay. So that's what that point is emphasizing all about is we need to be more hungry to see what Jesus did in our day and age. What was it about Peter's shadow that healed the cripple? Was it only for him? Was it something special about Peter? And that question should, that curiosity should lead you to seek him more. It's like, Father, if you move that way with Peter, I want you to use me as well. It's not about coming from a place of arrogance saying, look, so that all the glory can come on me, all the spotlight should fall on me. It's like, oh, Roshan's shadow is healed. Oh, Roshan is amazing. It's about again going back to the heart of God. He wants to see people being healed. He wants to reveal his nature. He wants to see his children see him, who he really is, how good he is. That he loves them, that he wants to see them well, that he wants to see them healed. He wants to see them live life with full of peace. It is Shalom. So that's why we need to intercede and press in more desire, more hungry, more hunger of his presence. So that's the point five. It's about ready to get more hungry and desperate for his presence. And finally, just point six in page 31, some of the other roadblocks to supernatural is not stepping out in faith, not stepping out in faith. This popular line that is out there, faith is spelled as RISK, risk. We are scared for a lot of reasons. And rightfully so, given the political climate in our country, it's India. The last thing you want to do, it seems like that, isn't it? At least in Karnataka, with all these anti-conversion bill going on, you're like, yeah, I'm not taking that risk. That's where seeking him more comes in. Just being hungry for more of his presence. Because while we pray for the Holy Spirit over us, we also see that the scripture says that he has not given us the spirit of timidity. He's given us the spirit of power. So that's one of the roadblocks is not stepping out in faith. That means it's not willing to take enough risks for various reasons, depending on methods instead of his presence, depending on methods instead of his presence. One of the key points, again, we mentioned initially is that it's not about the methods or process. This whole thing is about the person of Jesus Christ. And you just go through some of the other notes that's mentioned there in page 32, page 31 and 32. So those are the six key points of why we are not demonstrating more of God's power is lack of knowledge, wrong teaching, not taking the initiative of believing that healing ministry is only for the called or the chosen, replacing the supernatural with modern substitutes or unwilling to press in, not willing to step out in faith or depending on methods instead of his presence or discouragement from past failures or improper motives. All of these various reasons can stop us from demonstrating the power of God in our lives, in your ministry, in your walk with him as a Christian, as a believer, etc., etc. And another question that you can get asked is, don't demonic powers also demonstrate supernatural? Don't the demonic powers also demonstrate supernatural? That's another common question. So we see that in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 9, 2 Thessalonians in page 33 in your notes, it says, the coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs and lying wonders. The coming of lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs and lying wonders. A common contention, I'm just reading a paragraph from the notes. It says, a common contention against us believers emphasizing healings, deliverance, signs and wonders is the point that even demonic powers through false teachers, practitioners of witchcraft also perform supernatural signs. Yes, this is true. The Bible does talk about Satan working, lying or deceptive, signs and wonders. But then the notes just goes on to say that he is a counterfeit. But just because there is a counterfeit, one of the points that in your notes in page 34 it says, okay, there are a lot of, let's say a lot of counterfeit thousand rupee notes out there that shouldn't, that doesn't stop us from using the genuine one, isn't it? There are a lot of fake things that that's out there in the world, but that doesn't stop us from pursuing something that's genuine. And similarly, the Satan does what he has to do and he knows to only counterfeit. He only knows to duplicate things from everything that happens in the kingdom of God. But he's powerless. That shouldn't stop us from pursuing the supernatural that God has in store for us. A couple of scriptures that's mentioned or examples of that point is we see that the story of Moses and magicians in Egypt, right? In Exodus 7 verse 8 to 12, page 35, page 35. Can I request someone to read that verse, please, that scriptures? Exodus chapter 7 verse 8 to 12. Exodus chapter 7 verse 8 to 12. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and all on saying, when Pharaoh speaks to you saying, show miracle for yourselves, then you shall say to our own, take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh and let it become a serpent. So Moses and our own went into Pharaoh and they did so, just as the Lord commanded. And our own cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants and became a serpent. But Pharaoh also called the wise man and the sorceress. So the magicians of Egypt, they also did in life manner with their enchantments. For every man threw down his rod and they became serpents. But our own rod swallowed up their rods. Okay. All right. Thanks, Jeffina. Right. I mean, just put yourself in the shoes of Moses. Okay. This is to be fair in all honesty. Okay. God tells him, it's like, hey, don't worry about it.  It's going to become a snake and he's going to see the power of God. Okay. Moses goes into the all confidence. All right. Let's do this. Okay. We got this and he does his brother, his high five, whatever fist pump. Okay. Throws his rod down and then the next thing you know, Pharaoh calling his magicians. Yeah. Okay. Who can't do this trick and tell them to do the same trick. And Moses is like, okay, you know, it must be in his heart saying, okay, God, you did not discuss this with me. Right. You didn't give me a heads up. What is happening? Um, but before you know it, uh, you know, again to prove God's power, his rod swallows the other rods. Right. And magicians. And then we just come down the very bottom of the notes. Are you seeing Exodus eight was 18 and 19. Uh, we are in page 35 still. Okay. Exodus chapter eight, it says, now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So there were lice on man and beast. Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, this is the finger of God, but Pharaoh's heart grew hard and he did not heed them just as the Lord said, this is the finger of God. Right. Just because this counterfeit and whatnot, they didn't stop God from moving through Moses. Moses was obedient. He just kept following God's commandment and God start God kept moving through him until the very saucers. Okay. The witchcraft people. Okay. The counterfeit magicians of Egypt could say and declare that this is the finger of God. Right. Um, we need to be like that. Uh, people is we need to walk in a way where the world until the world points their finger and say that's the finger of God on them. Right. Uh, everything that they are doing is the hand of God is through the hand of God. Okay. Um, are you with me? Let's move, let's move to the another example that's mentioned in page 37 is the ministry of Jesus. Um, page 37 is the ministry of Jesus. Jesus himself was falsely accused. Right. Uh, they said, okay, even Jesus was falsely accused for doing his work by the power of Belzebub, the ruler of demons. Uh, so this indicates to us that even during Jesus's time, sorcerers, magicians and practitioners of witchcraft were in the land and performed healings and miracles. However, the Lord Jesus did not change his ministry strategy and abandoned his working miracles. Right. He, Jesus did not go like father, you know, we have to change the strategy now. Everybody are there. There are a lot of magicians, black magicians, witchcraft people. So can we come up with another game plan here? No. Jesus continued to do what, you know, what he's best at. Uh, he was not distracted or worried about what people, you know, told about him. He just went about doing the father's business and that is healing the sick, cleansing the lepers, raising the dead, etc., etc. Okay. Um, and again, there are several other instances which I, uh, we're not going to go into. So that's the, those are the answers to the question. Don't demonic power also demonstrate the supernatural? Well, they do. So what? They shouldn't stop us from doing what we have called do as God's people. Right. Um, and second, and moving on to the next point is, is asking for signs wrong. We are in page 38, um, in the notes is asking for signs wrong. Okay. Um, I want two people to read two scriptures that's mentioned in the notes. One is Matthew 12, 38 to 42. And the next scripture, Matthew 16, one to four. I want two people to read that please fast, fast, fast. Matthew 12, 38 to 42. Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered saying, teacher, we want to see a sign from you. But he answered and said to them, an evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the Prophet Jonah. Whereas Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish. So will the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it because they happened at because they repented at the preaching of Jonah and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and indeed a greater than Solomon is here. Amen. Thank you. Somebody else the next verse please. Matthew chapter 16 verses one to four. Then the Pharisees and seducing scheme and testing him asked that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said to them, when it is evening, you say it will be fair weather for the sky is red and in the morning it will be fall weather today for the sky is red and threatening hypocrites. You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the time of wicked adulterous generation seeks after a sign and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah and he left them departed. Thank you sir. Okay so it seems like when you know by reading these scriptures and if you read all the scriptures that's mentioned until the next page, page 40 in the notes, it seems like Jesus rebuked everybody who came to him who asked him for sign and one of the things and so if you come to page 40 in your notes please, there's a summary of all the scriptures that's mentioned in page 40 it says, so there are some common elements in all these incidents where people came seeking a sign. One, they came testing him or with the intent of disputing or arguing with him. So Jesus knew their heart, their intention is why they are coming. And I love this very important thing guys is related to questions. There's a huge difference between asking questions and questioning everything. There's a huge difference between asking a question and questioning everything. It all points towards the intention, the motivation of your heart. And Jesus knew that and that's why he makes, you know, that's the point that says here is they came testing him or with the intent of disputing arguing with him. He called them evil and adulterous because of the heart with which they came. The second point is they came refusing to accept simply means they came to him already with their minds made up.  Yes, it's not always pleasant, isn't it? Anyways, the point three that it says, in all cases, Jesus pointed to himself, his death and resurrection as the ultimate final sign that would be given to such people be given to such people. Okay. So let's just read some of the things that's mentioned in the notes with me. So we understand that when people came seeking for a sign in order to test, argue and challenge him, the Lord refused to do anything for them and simply pointed to his death and resurrection. The next para, however, in the rest of the gospels, we know that multitudes came seeking for his power to touch their lives in healings, miracles and deliverance. These people came with faith and expectation to personally experience his power at work for them. To such people, the Lord Jesus responded with great compassion and did great signs and wonders to meet their needs. He did not rebuke or refuse them. Amen. So the point, the answer to this point is asking for signs wrong is all come down boils down to that one point is what is the intention of your heart, right? What is the motivation behind it? So yeah, that's the answer for that question is asking for signs is asking for signs wrong. Let's move on to page 42 to the next question is what about false prophets in sheep's clothing? What about false prophets in sheep's clothing? Okay, so can someone quickly read Matthew, the verse that's mentioned that Matthew 7 15 to 27. Cheers. Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly and are ravenous wolves, you will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes or fixed from thistles? So every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, you will recognize them by their fruits. Is that all right? Yeah. Actually, yeah, that's fine, JP. Yep. Okay. I hope everything's all right. Yes, sorry. That's fine. That's fine. So there's two scriptures guys that again, I would encourage you to read it, you know, separately. The other scripture mentioned there is second Corinthians 11 12 to 15, right? asking about what about false prophets in sheep's clothing? And in our day and age, I'm sure there are lots right now out there, right? But however, Jesus taught us how to recognize who is genuine and who is not, right? First, he said, by their fruits, you will know them by their fruits, you will know them. Second, what do they practice? Do they do the will of the father or do they practice lawlessness? And so it's very important for us to ask these questions as we, you know, as we see so many, you know, ministries out there, you know, moving in science and wonders, it's very important for us to gauge them by their fruits, et cetera. Okay. And another classic question that can be asked in page 44 is, isn't entering into eternal life more important than being healed or delivered? Okay. Isn't entering, what would you answer me? Isn't entering into eternal life more important than being healed or delivered?  So, you know, it says, absolutely, you know, we do not in any way dispute the importance of eternal salvation of a person, which is definitely more important than any physical or emotional need that has to be met here on earth. Right? But let's just come down to the next paragraph way down in page 44. However, the reason we are here on earth is to see souls saved. Look, what you want to underline that? Okay, if you can. However, the reason we are here on earth is to see souls saved, brought out of darkness and established God's rule and dominion in the hearts and lives of people. And so, going back, asking that question, what did Jesus do and how did he evangelize? Right? By preaching the gospel, by preaching the gospel, it was accompanied with signs and wonders. Right? Otherwise, Jesus didn't have to do that. He just directly walked, okay, okay, I'm going to the cross without doing anything. Because that was always necessary for our salvation, isn't it? For you and me, there's no need for Jesus to move in the signs and wonders. Right? Just think about it. Okay, so while it, yes, it is important, you know, eternal salvation is important, that us getting to heaven is important, all of that. But our call is also the great commission is to go into the ends of the world and make disciples preach the gospel. Right? And all of that points towards saving the souls. Right? So it is important and it goes hand in hand the healing of ministry and deliverance. And I want to just another last point, which is two points, which is the ministry of apologetics that's in page 46 in your notes. I want to tie that with two points, ministry of apologetics. Now apologetics simply means the ability to reason or defend our faith. Right?  Right? And the very modern scripture that is used time and time again is 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 15. 1 Peter 3 15 says, but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. This is page 46. And always be ready to give a defense apology to everyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. So the scripture is only used to be more equipped in the field of apologetics, right, to defend your faith, to how to answer questions about evolution or eternity, what happens after, you know, someone dies, you know, ethics, moral ethics, etc, etc. And all attention and importance is given to that one thing and leaving out the importance of moving in the power of God. Right? And a beautiful defense that's mentioned here in page 47, the same Peter who wrote 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 15, here in 47, it says in Acts chapter 4 verse 13 and 14, now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men. Okay, think of the modern day apologetics, people like, you know, Nabil Qureshi who was with us and another person called David, something. There's so many apologetics. All of them are known to be well trained, well equipped, highly educated. But here it says, Peter and John who perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled and they realized that they had been with Jesus and seeing the man who had been healed, standing with them, they could say nothing against it. And so what was Peter's defense? What would have been Peter's defense is this, is not just mere knowledge of being able to defend, but it was accompanied with the power of healing and deliverance. And yeah, I think, okay, we are off time now. I'll stop here, guys. And I want to encourage you to just go back and just read through some of the scriptures that we didn't read. And should help. Okay, I hope you guys are doing all right. We'll catch up again next week. I don't want to make you late for your next class. Okay, see you guys. Take care. Have a lovely week. Thank you, Basta. Thank you. Take care.


Hey Billy are you ready for our meeting? Hey Adrian, I don't see anyone else here. Is it just us today? Yes, seems everyone else bailed If that's the case, can we hold off for just a couple of minutes? I'm trying to new deployment and I need a couple more minutes to get to a breaking point Sure, no problem. I can help if you want Yeah, I mean if you've got time, that'd be great So I've got a customer that's got some requirements I'm not real familiar with they've got a legacy application They want to containerize and require some additional interfaces to make it work properly now I know multi CNI we allow you to run multiple CNI's for a container Which will basically add multiple interfaces to the container was the first time I've really had to do it with SRV VF's I Was able to bring up the pod, but I can't tell which of the diff additional interfaces is used for what? Okay, do you have a diagram or something? Can you show me what you're trying to do? Yeah, I think I got one here All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna share my screen. Hold on just a second. I found it. All right sharing Can you see the drawing? Yes Okay, so as you can see from the picture, they need a high-speed interface to receive some video stream in on one interface The app does it's transcoding magic and then my sense of modified stream out a second interface These video streams are at high data rates and need to be on separate interfaces Okay I have a 5g case that is quite similar at least The interfaces interface requirements is similar enough In fact, this kind of setup is more common than you think Let's take a look at your cluster. Do you have A terminal around? Yeah, actually, um, I'll share but let me send you some here. Here's the login stuff and Okay, you can maybe Tmux in here. Let me share it. There we go. Yeah Yep, I mean Okay So here's what I have so far. I found some srv documentation So I've got enough that I was able to take my srv capable nick And divide it into multiple virtual functions so that multiple containers can share the same nick Hang on. I got this command and somewhere one of my notepads All right, there you go. So now you can see, um, I've got these two interfaces with four vfs each All right. So now if I show you my qtl Get pods all right, so there's my test pod and If we go and look at it So you can see here, um, I've got e0 for my default network and then a couple of net interfaces for the additional interfaces But I don't know which net net one or net two is used for what? so I'm logging I'm looking at logs and trying to hard code some values into my sample container to make this work out Okay, got you. Um, I don't think you have to hard code anything. Let me jump in real quick. Um, okay And see what versions you're running So Okay, I see that you're running multis and the device plugin so Let's start with the device plugin for instance um Okay, you're running 3.3.1, which is fairly recent. That's good. Okay. I'm gonna I'm gonna check the multis version just in case I want to make sure you have all the changes Um that we've recently added What changes are you looking for? um Okay, I'm I'm looking for some changes the device info changes the network plumbing working group recently Applied recently approved a new spec called the device info spec It specifies how additional device data can be passed into the pot. Look If everything is working the information that you're looking for should be here Yes, there it is Oh You see In the pot annotations, there is a network status field And within that field, uh, there is a JSON object for each network interface. Okay Within that object, uh There we have recently added the device info part And that is the information of your hardware device that is nicely associated with your network interface Now as how was that association was actually made? um It's cute. Let the one that allocates the device depending on the device plugins reported pools um Okay, hang on that was a little faster a lot of components. Um Maybe we can draw a picture or something with all the components and how they talk to each other Sure. Um, actually I'm working on some slides for kubecon. So let me paste A link in the chat If you can the link I have a deck on it here. Um Let's just jump to slide seven Okay here. I'll put it in the shared screen so we can see it Can you see it? Yes so Um There in that diagram shows a typical sraov Deployment So as you already know Multis is the one that allows you to call different cni plugins to attach additional networks, right? Right, right. Now that part I got yes Okay Well, uh, when it calls sraov cni It adds an extra parameter with the pc i address that it has to configure The pc i address of the vf Okay, then the sraov cni just configures the networking aspects of the vf For example mac address vlan tag, uh, the trusted mode and so on Okay, I kind of get that part. Um, I see the sraov device plugin in your drawing. Um Now what's the purpose of the device plugin again? Yeah In the case of sraov Um, we need to make sure that we properly manage the limited hardware resources that we have in the node In this case the virtual functions of our sraov cni Also, we need to modify the pods runtime spec to provide access to those hardware resources Okay, basically that is what the what the device plugin does for us It is a devon set that sits on the node. It discovers the available hardware resources Our arranges them into pools into resource pools Defined in a config map and makes these pools available to kiblet Okay, now, um, I do have a member creating my config map. Um, hang on. We'll switch back to the terminal here for a second. All right, so So here Here's my config map that I created All right, can you see that? Yes, it looks like, uh, you set up the config map correctly at least, um That config map is saying it's defining two resource pools one of the resource pools will um We'll pick up all the vfs from ps0 and the other Uh resource pool will pick up all the vfs from pf1. Is that what you wanted? Yes. Yes. So that sounds good. I think I got a little lucky there on what I copied. So, um, okay Now let's look at the network attachment definition. Did you create one of those? Yes. Yes. All right, so All right, so here's the yaml I used to create that Yeah, okay. So as you can see um Your network attachment definition references the pools that you've created in the config map So that's ctx6 pf0 and pf1. Okay. Yes, I do. I do. Okay. So, um Here, let me go back to that picture so I can look at that again. All right. Here we go. So so, um, having that reference, um properly done, uh, how it works is um when the network attachment definition references the, um The correct pool and a pot is allocated. Um, that uses one of those network attachment definitions kubelet Selects a free device from the pool and asks the device plugin to provide the device information The response contains information about linux devices That, um, have to be added to the runtime spec mount points and environmental variables Okay, so basically that is how the pot has Then access to to a specific pc i address Now the problem is that that information flows directly from kubelet to the pot and, um It gets to the pot in a very limited way. So you don't have Like the context of the cni interface with it Okay, um, and you said there was this new spec that was written. How does that tie in with what we're talking about here? Well, the spec changes this into the diagram in slide 10 10 hold on All right, there's slide 10 Yes, there you go. So as you see now the device plugin Now writes a file in the notes file system Then is that the device info file? Exactly the device info file. Okay it writes the file in a predefined path with a standardized format and uh, once the file is written Moltus will then pick it up and Write it into the network status annotation under the right interface Okay, so this device file is actually on the node So you're saying I could troubleshoot some of the device related issues just by looking at that file on my note. Is that right? Yes, that's correct All right. Hang on. Let me go back here and see if I can Take a look at you know, would you remember what the name of that file is or where it is? It's in slash bar run k8s Cni, you know tap your way. Okay. Yeah um device info Dp for device plugin Okay, you have all the yes. Oh, yeah, there's a couple of them there. All right It's a json format. So if you just if you come pipe it to jq if you have jq installed um So we can see the json Okay, on tent correct. All right That looks a lot like the device info stuff right there that was in the annotations Uh, yes, that's exactly right so, um If you look into the um annotations again, you should see that that json Part is Has been added to the uh network status annotation in the right interface. Okay. Yeah, let me go back here and see if I can figure this out Um, okay. Yeah, so I see that pc i address in the device info That we talked about and then there's that sr ov dash net zero that we're talking about in the name field Cool Correct. So um the sr ov net zero is the name of your network attachment And the uh net one is the name of the interface Seen inside the pods network namespace. All right. Cool. All right. I want to stop sharing here. That's that was good. That's good All right, so um, so we wait a minute you wrote a new spec just so we could figure out which interface belongs to which network No, that was just one of the added benefits It allows network A new accelerated network devices to be added to uh, kubernetes more recently so Recently i've been Working on this technology called vdpa It exposes accelerated free tio compatible interfaces So it supports Exposing a normal net def to be used by standard containers, but it also supports exposing a special char device called vhost or vhost ddpa device That can be used by dpdk apps for example um to do memory mapping um They basically to map to map to map the memory directly Uh from the nick to the application Okay, so so the nick can dma directly into the app So this is uh one of the use cases And as you can imagine without this pack It will be impossible for the pod to know all the extra details needed to consume these new devices Okay, so um, so it sounds like it makes um bringing up these newer network devices easier And also but more in a standardized way instead of using i don't know maybe proprietary environmental variables or something like that, right? right so we wanted to um have a clear spec to um Basically make a pot on pots and application developers lives Easier The spec supports a number of uh different network devices The strio v devices, uh like in your case, mem if ddpa and some more Just it's easily extendable It's just a json format so it's easily extendable and It should make it easy for new technologies to be integrated into kubernetes Even if they're not based on the strio v device plugin Yeah, but are there any cases where devices are created by like a cni plugin instead of the you know any of the number of device plugins? Yes, for example, the host device cni and also the user space cni that exposes virtual user devices The spec also contemplates that use case um and it supports vhost user devices Uh in that case how it works is uh, it works in a slightly different way But um, so how it works is the cni exposes a new capability And if multis detects this capability, it will pass down Pass down basically the path where the cni has to put the the devising profile that we just saw Okay, so you're saying that the cni instead of the device plugin now does all the work but it has to deal with creating this file and Making sure it exists and then writing the file and taking care of all that td stuff, right? Well, yes, uh, but Most of the functionality has already been implemented in the library It's called the network attachment definition client and so um the cni should just import that library uh to Basically write the file and once that file is written Then multis will take care of the rest basically. Oh cool. Okay, so I'll now all this information is ultimately available from with the pod, right? Right. Well good. All right. So now I just have to write a script or a small program to parse all this data in the container I'm not really looking forward to trying to parse json in a script, but I guess I can do that Well, I told you I've already been through these.  I got it. Let me let me share it back over here All right sharing All right, uh app net utility. Okay. I see wait. This is a go module, right? Um, I think the only issue is that everything I'm dealing with is going to be in c Drop down to the api section Apis okay See they are go and see bindings. Oh, yeah, there's go and see I like that. Cool. All right, and um I see there are three apis One to get the cpu data One for get retrieving huge page data And then the third one is to retrieve all the interface data Uh, so has this repo been updated to support the new device infospec? We were talking about Yep It's very useful. It hides all the complexities of parsing the network status annotation um, environmental variables and system data and it offers a nice high-level api All right. Um, it's a lot here. I see um test pods dpdk app container images Yeah, there's a lot here. Yeah, it has some sample code on how to use The apis Oh, all right. Well, that'd be useful Um, all right. So what's this srv vf development? All right, there's a lot of stuff. Um, we've been talking about here. I see the network attachment definitions and config maps So um, so even if I decide not to use it it shows all the different places in a container to collect the data and how to utilize it Um, this looks useful. I'll start playing with this. Um Do you have a list of all those repos that we talked about? I said we was a network client Or network something. Um, yeah Yeah, I got a list Uh, let me show you man. I I need to um, invite you to my cube compression patient You're just asking the right questions. So you have my um deck. Yep. Still got it So I think it's on slide 13 If you check there Okay, um, I see yeah multis and srv network device plugin some of the stuff we've been talking about. Oh, there it is network attachment client Um, I see most of these projects are under the network plumbing working group um I thought that um the network plumbing working group just wrote the multinet spec that multis was coded to And that was it Yes, that was some time ago, but They have recently approved a new open governance model They have brought together many projects um Including all of those and now it's a very healthy and diverse community Well, this is perfect. I'll try to use some of this in my work. Um, but you're gonna be out. Aren't you if I run into some issues? Yeah, for two weeks, actually You still have that cube come slide Yeah, now go to the next Uh, uh slide. Okay, and you'll see yeah There you go. Those are the upstream meetings. Uh, you have links to the meeting dogs and you have the meeting cadence there Um, all right, I like it, but you know, that's one of those things I'm still like new to all this and learning all these technologies I think if I went to one of these upstream communities, I'd just get lost and feel kind of out of place a little bit Everyone there was new to it at some point If you have any issues, just reach out to them. They are um, a very, um Very kind and they will be happy to help you. I'm sure Oh, well good. That was real helpful. I really do appreciate it. I'm sorry for delaying our original meeting What was the original meeting for? I've already forgotten Uh, it's our virtual bureau clock zoom Oh, I'm sorry to delay that for work stuff. Uh, let me go grab a beer Yeah


In an edge computing application, data can be stored in multiple locations, not just in your central data center. Let's say you have a city which has tens of thousands of cameras for traffic management, for example. You could have all those cameras stream that data back to a central location, which again would be huge amounts of data trying to get to a single location so that you could look for patterns in traffic or accidents or fires or other incidents. Or you could do that image analysis right at the camera. Then when there's something interesting, you can send the information back. And so you get huge benefits in bandwidth efficiency or even the ability to deploy that application at all. So you'll need the capability of storing data that's needed for processing or that's being generated and processed. At each location the application is running. That could look like something like a hyper-converged platform where the storage is provided as software-defined storage that's part of your container application platform. What we're providing is a complete ecosystem for our partners and our customers to build ever more complex and ever more capable applications.
