started, the recording is on. So let's pray. And as we pray, maybe we can pray in line with what we see in Ephesians chapter one, Ephesians chapter one. And it was one of the prayers that Paul prayed for the Ephesians church, for the believers in Ephesus. So this is what we see. Okay, Ephesians chapter one. Okay, you can turn your Bible to Ephesians, the book of Ephesians chapter one. And verse 16 onwards, he says, I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers. And he goes on to explain, this is what he prays. What does he pray? He says that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling. What are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints? And what is the exceeding greatness of His power towards us who believe according to the working of His mighty power, which He worked in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at the right hand in the heavenly places. So, you know, several things that Paul is actually praying for the Ephesians church. So he's just saying that this is what I'm praying, that the Lord may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. So that's something that we can pray. Lord, even as you've given me the Holy Spirit, may I have wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you. Secondly, may my eyes, the eyes of my understanding may be enlightened, that I may know what is the hope of your calling for me. What is the hope of your calling for me? What is your calling for me? And what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints? And thirdly, what is the exceeding greatness of your power? Lord, I want to know about your power, what is the greatness of your power towards me who believes in you. So let's pray. You can just pray these things. Father, we thank you Lord for this day. We thank you for your presence in our lives. Lord, we thank you for your written Word, the revealed Word. God, the quickened Word. Master, we thank you. Lord, even as we pray today, Lord, we pray for the Spirit of revelation and wisdom in the knowledge of you. Lord, may our eyes be open, the eyes of the understanding be open. May we know what is the hope of your calling for each one of us, O God. Yes, Lord. I just pray that, Lord, the sense of the call, the hope of the call, the scope of the call, O God, everything, O God. Lord, we pray that you would make it known. And Lord, may we also know the power, O God, the greatness of your power, the greatness of that Holy Spirit power towards us who believe in you. Lord, may we know that, O Father God, and may we experience that in our spirits, in our inner man even today. Come Holy Spirit, lead us. Lord, we need you. We are dependent on you, O God. We lean on you today. Lord, for all these and more, and for you have said that you will do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we can ask or think or imagine. So we bless your name. We give you all praise and glory. In Jesus' matchless name, we pray. Amen. Okay. Right. So we have been looking at the work of the Holy Spirit. That's chapter eight, right? The work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. And we saw how the Holy Spirit is the one who causes the person who puts his faith in Jesus, faith in Jesus to be born again, right? Causes the regeneration. So it's very, very, it's important or it's something that we need to really understand the whole value of it because here's something that has happened because of the work of the Holy Spirit. Now, our spirit was dead to God. Okay. So the Bible says that our spirit was dead to God in the sense that our spirit was not responding to God, right? We were dead to him. We were alive to sin. We were dead to God, right? For us being such people, for such a person, the Holy Spirit, because we responded, right? In our response of faith, we trusted in him and we responded saying, yes, I believe in Jesus. The Holy Spirit came and did a work of regeneration, regeneration. Okay. That's what we saw that we are born again by the Holy Spirit, right? And our spirit man, which was dead to God, now came alive, right? Now we are, so that is why we have the assurance of the Spirit where we can say, we can call, you know, our Lord, Lord and Savior because we can say, above Father, right? We can pray Heavenly Father. We have that assurance that we are His children, okay? So that's something which is invaluable, something that is very, very precious, okay? Then we also saw that the Holy Spirit helps the believer in everyday life, how to walk in holiness, to walk in sanctification, to put to death the things of the flesh, right? So that we can walk in continued or progressive holiness and sanctification, right? So we saw that and we also saw that we are temples. I think that's where we stopped last class. We saw that we are temples of the Holy Spirit, that we are a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, okay? So when we say temples of the Holy Spirit, we are saying that we are His dwelling place collectively as well as individually, okay? Collectively as well as individually. So what do we mean by that? Now if you look at 1 Corinthians 3, right? 1 Corinthians 3, okay? Can somebody read 1 Corinthians chapter 3 and I think it's, yeah, verse 16, verses 16 and 17. 1 Corinthians 3 verses 16 and 17, can someone read? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. Okay, that's 17, the verse before that, 16. Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? Yeah.  Yeah, so that's 1 Corinthians 3 and verse 16 and 17. So the question here is, is the Lord, I mean is Paul writing, you know, is he writing to one person or is he writing to a group? Obviously he's writing to the group of believers who are there at Corinth. Okay, so when he's addressing them here, he's saying that you are the temple of the Holy Spirit, right?  Okay, and he's saying that, you know, verse 16 he says, do you not know that you are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you, which means collectively as a group, the Spirit of God is dwelling and abiding and doing wonderful things, collectively as a group. Verse 17 says that, do you not know that if anyone defiles the temple, which means if anyone, you know, what does defile mean? Desecrate, make dirty, right? Break off, do such things. If anyone defiles the temple of God, you know, he says that the temple of God is Holy, whose temple you are, God will actually take it very seriously. That person will be destroyed.  You're fighting among yourself, you're like little children, right? Now, he's saying that, you know, that is not correct. And so he's saying, how can the body be defiled when there is envy, when there is strife, when there is fighting, when there's quarreling? Okay, so he's saying, you know, God takes it very seriously if such things are happening in the body because you are the temple of God, okay? And collectively, you actually host the presence of God, okay? So that's something that we see as believers, collectively, you know, as a group, as the body, we host the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit abides and dwells and does certain things among us. Maybe people are called, you know, for a particular purpose, right? Maybe part of a local church, believers, maybe a team, you know, called for a particular purpose. The Holy Spirit dwells, the Holy Spirit abides, okay? So what will, what will actually defile that the dwelling place? It is all these things that he writes here, right? He writes in, let's say, if you look at verse 3, chapter 3 verse 3, he says, you are still carnal for where there are envy, strife, divisions among you. Are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? Okay? And he says, this is, this is not correct, right? So, so we see that the Holy Spirit dwells among us as a, as a body by collectively. Then the next, next thing that we see is if you turn to chapter 6, okay? Same one Corinthians, chapter 6, and you look at the last two verses, okay? Chapter 6, last two verses, okay? So here he says, do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you? Okay?  For you were bought at a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are gods, okay?  So here he's talking about individuals, okay?   Your body, in fact, that's what he says, right? Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit? Okay? So he says that who is in you whom you have from God and you are not your own, right? So he's saying in verse 20 that you belong to God, right? Your body belongs to God, your spirit belongs to God. You spirit soul and body, you belong to God. Why? Because you were bought at a price, right? So we belong. So because we belong to God, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells in us, right? We are the, our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, right? So that's the understanding that we should have as believers that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. So just, you know, just think about this, right? Suppose you go and buy something from a shop, okay? Let's go, let's say I go and buy this shirt from a shop and I, you know, I've paid whatever money, I bought it, I've taken it home, I'm wearing it. Now you tell me, you know, can the shopkeeper come to me and say, I know you bought it, but every Wednesday and Thursday, you know, I will come and put something in your pocket, shirt pocket, okay? Because Wednesday and Thursday that shirt pocket belongs to me, right? And you have to carry it. So he'll come and put some paper, some trash, something. He's saying you have to carry it with you in your pocket because Wednesday and Thursday that shirt belongs to me.  You'll be angry, you'll be upset, you'll say, no, no chance. I paid, you told me this is the price, I paid the price, I bought it, the shirt belongs to me, okay? So same way the Lord is saying, you were, you and I, you were bought at a price and that price was that great sacrifice on the cross, the blood of Jesus. So we belong to, belong to who? We belong to Jesus, we belong to God. So Satan or any other works of the enemy cannot come and say, this part of you belongs to me, right? Your thoughts belong to me or your words belong to me or, you know, this, in this area, this behavior that belongs to me. Satan cannot say that. Why? Because we were bought completely. See, as observed as that shopkeeper coming and putting certain things and you accepting it, no, we will never accept it, right? If a shopkeeper comes and says, this shirt belongs to me, now I need to put, you know, on these days I need to put this or at this time I need to put some stuff in your shirt, we will never accept that.  We know it's not from God or, you know, these kind of thoughts, these kind of imaginations, it is part of you. We know it's not from God and we know that we belong to him, but yet we accept that, right? We accept that, which is observed, right? We should not, right? Because we belong to Jesus.  He dwells, He stays, He abides in you and we are too. He says, your life is not your own, okay? Your life is not your own, but it belongs to God completely. So the best way to, you know, do is to live life on His terms and not our own terms, right? Okay, let's move on. So, temples of the, the temples of Holy Spirit, that is who we are collectively and also individually, right? Okay, let's move to 2nd Corinthians, chapter 3, okay? So what are we studying? We are looking at the works of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life, okay? How does the Holy Spirit, what does the Holy Spirit do in a believer's life, right? 2nd Corinthians 3 and verse 18, okay, it says, but we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory just as by the Spirit of the Lord. Okay, let's read that again. If we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory just as by the Spirit of the Lord. So what is, what is the Lord telling us here? You know, we with unveiled face, meaning, you know, the previous verses talk about how, you know, there was a covering, you know, typically talking about the Jews, there was a covering on their face whenever they read the law because they could not understand that it was actually about Jesus, right? But when we come to Jesus, that veil is taken away, okay? And literally it happened when the Lord died on the cross that the veil in the temple, you know, the veil in the temple, there was a screen in the temple which was preventing people from going into the Holy of Holies. That veil was torn, yes? You remember that? The veil was torn completely and from, you know, from top to bottom it was torn. Symbolically signifying that now we have access to the Holy of Holies, right? Nothing preventing us. So here it's saying with unveiled face, right? We are born again, we, the unveiled face as we behold the glory of God. Okay, Shani has a question.  I'm sorry, where are you at in the notes? Notes, we're looking at chapter 8. Is it page 18? Chapter 8 and yeah, the work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. And we are looking at the, you know, that section on holiness and sanctification, how the Holy Spirit helps. Yeah, and we are looking at the last point, which is how he changes us into Christlikeness. Maybe I'll just share the notes. Yeah, just a minute. Okay, there you go. Okay, so there's a question. Satan is a defeated foe. We all know that, but still why do believers remain defeated in their spiritual lives? Yeah. So, so Satan, Satan's ploys are very, you know, yeah, very, very simple. He's called the father of Lys. So he uses Lys.  He, we know that he's called the tempter. He's the deceiver. So Lys, deception, temptations, these are the works of the enemy. Now, the believer is, it's possible for the believer to be either lied to, to be deceived, to be tempted. Okay, so now the believer has the authority to say no. The believer has the right to say no. But being, you know, one who can actually choose if I choose to accept the Lys, if I choose to be deceived, and if I choose to be tempted, if I make a choice to be tempted and fall, you know, pray to temptation, then, you know, then we, the believer lives a much like a substandard life where one is, you know, not living a life of victory. So that's the only, that's the thing. So the minute the believer rises up in, within the authority that the believer has been given, you know, with the authority, and, and with all the resources that the Lord has given us, with the Word of God being our confession, having the understanding of what he has actually achieved for us on the cross, then we will begin to walk in victory.   We know all that. We all know that common saying, ignorance is bliss, which means that if I don't know it, I don't have to, you know, be troubled about it, I'm fine. But actually, ignorance can keep us trapped because we don't know our rights. We don't know our place. We don't know our authority.  Okay. Right. So, so what is, what do we see here? Verse 18, we see that with unveiled face, beholding as in the mirror the glory of the Lord, we are being, you know, that Word, we are being transformed, right? There's a drastic change that's happening. You know, as we behold the glory of the Lord, right? And the, beholding the glory of the Lord, you know, with unveiled face, which means that we are actually positioned as believers to, to go into the presence of God, to have encounter with God either, you know, through His Word or through His Spirit. And intentionally, we can walk in or sovereignly, He can draw us, you know, to that place of encounter. So as we behold, which means to see, to keep on seeing, to see with intention, to learn, to see with an intention to observe and receive. When we behold the glory of the Lord, what is happening? There is drastic change. Okay. And it's interesting to see what kind of change we are transformed into what? Into the same image that we are beholding. And what is that image? That's the glory of the Lord, right? That's the Lord Himself. So that transformation happens. We are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. Which means the Holy Spirit enables, leads us into this process of transformation, which is there for every believer, right? We might be saying, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, I need a lot of change. I need transformation in these areas. I need change. I'm, I'm, you know, frustrated, right? I feel helpless. I feel frustrated. I'm, I want change in these areas. Yes, change is available. And it's by the Holy Spirit for the believer. We're not talking about unbelievers, right? We're talking about believers. For the believer, there is transformation, transformation into the same image, right? So what Paul is saying here is that we are being transformed to be like Christ, Christ likeness, to be like Jesus, right? We're not transformed to be like that pastor or to be like that evangelist or to be like that man or woman of God, which is great, right? But we're not transformed. The Holy Spirit doesn't transform, transform us into any of that. The Holy Spirit actually transforms us to be like Jesus. So it says we are being transformed into that same image by the Holy Spirit, right? So that's something that's available for us.  I want change. I want just not just small change, but drastic change. Yes, the Holy Spirit will take us. The Holy Spirit will change us. All those areas of weaknesses or limitations, the Holy Spirit will change it to be like Jesus. That area that we are struggling, the Holy Spirit will change. But are we willing to behold the glory of God? Are we willing to be led by the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit will bring change and we will see that the victory, right? As we walk, right? Okay, so let's look at the next part, which is walking in the Spirit, walking as led by the Spirit, walking as filled by the Spirit of God. So I think we looked at that verse, Romans chapter 5 and verse 5 in our last class, right? You remember that? Romans 5 verse 5, it says that the love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. So again, just to remind us, what is being poured into our hearts? It's the love of God, okay? Love that belongs to God, the God kind of love, which is not the deficient love, but it's an overcoming, overpowering love, right? We're talking about agape here, okay? There are different words that describe love, right? Freelios or Storge, Eros, agape, all these Greek words, you know, in the language, it's English language, it's translated as love, but, you know, this particular love that we're talking about is the God kind of love, unconditional love, right? Which we know as agape. So here it says that the agape of God, the love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit has brought that capacity in our hearts, okay? So the Holy Spirit has brought that ability to love like God loves, okay? So the thing is, the previous verse that we saw, we need to be transformed more and more to be like Him in order to express that love that we already have in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, right? Because if I'm not transformed, if my thoughts are not transformed, if my speech is not transformed, then this love, which is there on the inside, will not be expressed, will not find, you know, what do you call it, expression, right? Because it'll get blocked by my own thoughts. Let's say the Holy Spirit says, okay, you know, you need to love that person. I know that the person is, you know, doing all kinds of things and, you know, acts like your enemy, but you need to love. But it is immediately, it is, you know, short circuited by my own thoughts, right? It says, no chance. That guy does not deserve kind words. That guy does not deserve kind action. Immediately your thoughts cancel out the thoughts of God because there is no, that is not transformation. But when the Holy Spirit leads us in transformation, and one of the ways transformation happens is by the renewing of our minds, renewing of our thoughts, right? When it happens, then we see transformation in our behavior, transformation in our speech, transformation in our thoughts, in our actions everywhere, right? So we see that the love of God has been poured out into our hearts. So the Holy Spirit helps us to walk in love. So walk in love simply means to have a lifestyle of that kind of love for others, okay? Okay, so walking in the Spirit, let's look at the same chapter verse 16, okay? We're going to, sorry, not the same chapter. We're going to look at Galatians chapter 5, Galatians 5 and verse 16. This is also something that we saw last class. I say then walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. So walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill it. And it goes on to talk about what are the works of the flesh and what is the fruit of the Spirit? Okay, on my screen went blank for a minute. Okay, it's fine. Okay, so we see that when we walk in the Spirit, this privilege of being led by the Holy Spirit is there for every believer. Okay, so this privilege is there for all of us. Yeah, okay. Can you, I'm sorry, can you hear me please? Okay. I can hear you. You can. Yeah, okay, fine, fine. Thank you, thank you. There's some technical issues here, right? Okay, yeah. Okay, so as we walk in the Spirit, the privilege of being led by the Spirit of God, prompted, instructed by the Spirit of God is for every believer. Okay, so if something like that is available for every believer, what is it that's stopping us from making use? Right? What is it that's stopping us? If this privilege to be led by the Holy Spirit, if this privilege to be led by the Holy Spirit in such a way that we can put to death the things of the flesh, you know, that's what we say here, walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Okay, so the lust of the flesh leads to death. The lust of the flesh separates us from God. Okay, it's enmity between us and God. So it just takes us away from all that God has for us, good plans, good things, maybe a good destiny and all that God has for us, the works of the flesh either delays it, postpones it or takes us away from it. Since we have this privilege as believers to walk in the Spirit, we need to make use of it. Right? We need to say, this is wonderful. Not everybody has this, but I can walk in the Spirit, being led by the Spirit of God. Right? So we need to intentionally say, God, I want to walk as led by you, as prompted by you, as instructed by you, so that I cannot fulfill the lust of the flesh. Okay, so our thinking and everything changes, our behavior, everything, there is transformation again in our lives. So the Holy Spirit has come to help us. The Holy Spirit has come, you know, that's what the Lord Jesus said, right? He will guide us into all truth, the Spirit of truth. He will guide us into all truth. Right? He will, He's come and the Lord said, He's the helper, the paracletor. So if somebody is there to help, why are we not taking that help in order to put to death the things of the body? Right? Okay. And Ephesians 5 talks about the fact that we are to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Okay, now we can say, yes, I'm baptized in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit has baptized me, but we see multiple times that people are filled in the Holy Spirit after the baptism of the Holy Spirit. In the book of Acts, we see that Ephesians 5 verse 18, Paul writes to the again, the Ephesian believers and he says, and do not be drunk with wine in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit. Okay, being filled with the Spirit, which means that this whole experience of being filled with the Spirit is there for every believer again. Right? To be filled with the Spirit and it says there is an overflow. When we are filled with the Spirit, there's an overflow. Verse 19, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God and so on. Okay? This being filled with the Spirit really inspires us. This brings out certain things, speaking to one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord. Okay? So every day we can say, Holy Spirit, fill me. Okay? Holy Spirit, fill me and we can walk in the reality of that, which is available for each one of us. Okay? We saw the fruit of the Spirit. Lastly, in this section, we see that the Holy Spirit gives us liberty. Freedom. The Holy Spirit does not lead us into bondage. Now, if you look at the prophecy, the prophetic verse in Isaiah 61 and the Lord reading that in the synagogue, okay? Let's turn to, just one second, let's turn to Book of Luke. Okay? Let's turn to Luke chapter 4 and verses 18 and 19. Okay? This is the Lord reading Isaiah 61 in the synagogue. Right? So it says, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives. Right? Proclaim? What is liberty? Freedom. Right? To the captives, to those who are held captive. What does it mean to be held captive? Stronghold, bondage. You know, it means to be held a prisoner against your will. Right? That is what it means to be held captive, to be a prisoner. Actually, you want to be free. Right?  You are held a prisoner against your desire, against your will. Right? So it says here, to proclaim liberty to the captives and to set a recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. Okay? To set at liberty those who are oppressed, those who are held captive, freedom. Okay? And if you turn to 2 Corinthians chapter 3 and verse 17, we read the verse after that just a little while ago, how we are transformed into glory into the same image. Right? Verse 17 says, now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Okay? So if you read Luke chapter 4, you know those two verses, the Lord Jesus is anointed by the Holy Spirit to bring liberty, to bring something which is a characteristic of the Holy Spirit. Right? Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Immediately, there is freedom. He brings freedom. Right? So here we see that the Holy Spirit, where He is, there is freedom. So which means there is that setting open of prison doors, there is the breaking of chains or bondages that hold us back. Okay? So that the Holy Spirit brings that into our lives. Okay? So in our own lives, you know, we could say, okay, I'm free, but then maybe there are areas in our lives which are like prisons. Right? Then you might say, okay, what do you mean?  I can do what I want. But then the fact is that there could be certain areas which are like prisons for us. Like maybe it's a prison of anger. Maybe it's a prison of regret. Right? We are locked in that prison, regretting, oh, why did I do that five years ago, six years ago? Or why did I not do that? I should have studied. I should have done that. I should have done that. I should have, I could have so many opportunities. You know, the prison of regret. Right? So what does the prison do? It does not help us to go out. The prison is locked. Because of this regret, you know, it causes maybe a sense of low value. Okay?  And maybe there are people who are highly successful, highly skilled, talented. And in their presence, you feel low value. There's no confidence. Oh, wow. That's a great person. They're so, you know, educated and I'm not, or, you know, they're so skilled, I'm not.  You're not talking. Right? You are in fear. So what is that? That's a prison. That's a prison of regret. There's a prison of fear. Right? Which is not allowing us to be free the way God has created us to be, to be confident. Right? Right? So we have all those prisons that, there could be these prisons or strongholds that, that is keeping us from living life the way Jesus wants us to live. Right? From, you know, from being people who are influencing, being salt and light. So we are trapped. We feel trapped. Okay? So here we see that we're the spirit of the Lord is there's liberty, which means that there is freedom for every believer because that's what the anointing of the Holy Spirit does. The Lord says, He has anointed me to set at liberty those who are held captive, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. So whether there's oppression and, you know, captivity, the Holy Spirit comes to set free, open those doors, break those chains. Okay? And that can be very liberating for us as believers when we experience this ministry of the Holy Spirit. And that's again available for each one of us. He gives us liberty. Okay. We have a few more minutes. Okay. The next thing that we see is that the Holy Spirit also leads us in the ministry of revelation. Okay. So what does it mean? What do we call as the revelatory work of the Holy Spirit? What is your understanding of it? The Holy Spirit reveals, the Holy Spirit brings revelation. What do we mean by that? Sorry? He? Prophecy pastor. Prophecy. Yeah. Okay. Anyone else? I think I see a hand go up. Knowledge and understanding. I'm sorry. Once again, please. I said knowledge and understanding. Knowledge and understanding. You know, that was that we read in Ephesians. May the Lord, Paul prays, may the Lord give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Right? The spirit of wisdom and revelation of the Holy Spirit. That is one of the attributes of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit reveals. Okay.  So you can't see what's behind the curtain. But you know, there is someone standing behind the curtain because we can hear him, but we can't see him. The Holy Spirit comes and opens the curtain and says, see, see for yourself. Okay. That is revelation. Right? He opens our understanding. He opens our eyes to see what the truth is. Right? Something that is hidden maybe from our view. He opens and says, okay, this is what it gives us clarity, gives us understanding. Okay. Okay. So we'll take a break and then we'll come back.

You guys should share this video and have this conversation. Educate yourself. Asians are f***ed. What's going on everybody? David Fung from the Fung Rose here. Now there are a ton of hot button issues going on in America right now, but very few of them, if any at all, seem to involve Asians. Today we're going to be asking people, do they care what they think and what we should do. Let's find out. In most or all mainstream American national debates, Asians are left out of the discussion. Agree or disagree? Sure. Agree. Agree. Definitely. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yes. I would agree. I would say they stay under the radar. Agree. Agree. Definitely agree. Yeah. Why is that? I feel like it's partly our fault because a lot of Asians, you know, stick together. Yeah, you guys are a lot more tight-knit. Our community is not that strong compared to like black people, like white people. We as a community, Asian Americans, we're just like very comfortable where we're at.  Like, we're not part of the conversation, so we're not, we choose not to be in that conversation. Asians tend to not speak up, so it's partly our fault. I would say, like, we're not really discriminating against, like, hugely in this country. I don't really have motivation to, like, fight for my rights and stuff like that. Asians are still treated as foreign people. No matter how long we've been in America, there's always this feeling that we're not really a part of it. Some Americans don't think that Asians are part of, like, the American fabric that makes up America. There aren't that many kind of role models to look up to. Asians have always been viewed as, like, this, like, silent minority. Or perhaps, if you have heard of a term, model minority. The majority of society, like, venerates the Asian community. Like, it's like the model minority. Asians are kind of seen as the model minority, so they're kind of left out of discussions because they don't fit in the minority bucket, nor do they fit in the white bucket. The original conception of Asian Americans as being a model minority was to keep black people alive. Asians aren't viewed as threatening as maybe African Americans or Latinos. These people come in here and they do the thing. They're quiet. They keep to themselves. They assimilate. Why can't you?  We're slowly kind of, like, being edged out of representation, but in the end, we still get boiled. What's one thing you think that Asians, like, enjoy about kind of being under the radar? I mean, we have so many things to do. Like, in our daily lives, we have a lot of errands. We have everything to focus on. We are super materialistic. We get too bogged down with this stuff. We kind of, like, tend to forget that we are not the only minority group in this country. Like, Asians, if it doesn't affect us, we kind of, like, don't care about it. One of the pros is that you kind of feel like you're more connected to your, like, little subculture. It does make it easier for us to kind of just slip by. I find living under the radar, too, because, like, in the, like, huge news stories, you don't really see, like, an Asian headlining the news, so I'm really fine with it. Personally, I'm not that under the radar, but I know when I can be, like, in a situation. You know how to use it. I know how to use it. When the cops come. Like, racial profiling is a thing. It's not that I don't care what happens around here. We're brought up to kind of just take the backseat.  One of the good things about being underneath the radar is you can just focus on your own life and your boyfriend and your girlfriend. Is that selfish? It is kind of selfish for our generation to think like that, because, you know, what about the other minorities? They want to focus on their boyfriend, girlfriend, and dogs, too. So if it affects them, it affects us all. I just think it's selfish if you only care about yourself, and you're like, I don't need to get involved. My parents, they can think whatever they want, but for me, I'm thinking about the future for my kids. I want them to have a voice. In order for them to have a voice, I need to speak, I need to speak up. Your kids, your kids, kids, they're all going to be living in America if you choose to live here, and it's something that you've got to kind of, I guess, build the path for them so life is easier.  I think you should care, because we're all humans on this earth. It's not a correct mindset. I think it's kind of like, disgusting even. Because like, this is an interconnected country. This is an interconnected world. You're never going to like, live in isolation. If you're just letting like, these change makers do their thing, how are you being a productive member of society? So what do you think are some things that could be done? You can't evolve as much as you could in any sort of like, volunteer, service community, anything. I think it's exactly what he just said. Just get involved as much as you possible. And it does not matter about which way. It doesn't matter, because it doesn't matter what you're saying, as long as you make yourself heard. Don't be afraid to speak up. You know, don't feel like you have to stick with the stigma. Sharing your story with others, but doing so in a respectful way, and also listening to other people. To start conversating with other races a lot more, include them, and then as that happens, you guys will appear a lot more social. I think it would help for people to get out of their bubble, not only hang out with other Asians, especially other Asians of the same race. Get involved. Like, get aware. Like, educate yourself. I think opening up is definitely key. I think is having the confidence to stand up for your own beliefs, whatever that is.  Ooh, you are daring Asians to do something that they hate doing, which is take activism outside of Facebook. It's easy to have an opinion, but it's hard to say like, I need to do something with this opinion. Like, the least you can do is just like, have a conversation with your friends. You guys should share this video and have this conversation. I was just about to go get like a donut, and I stopped to do this, so I think everybody can get off their f*** for a moment. Go more into media, go more into the arts, show the world that we're not just like, foreign doormats. And it becomes reframing these things as basic human decency and standards that we hold ourselves to voluntarily, not because someone else has a gun to our head. Do you think it would help to see more crazy, like, ratchet Asians in media? Hell yeah, that's funny. Yeah, more ratchet. Could I say that? Probably not. Yeah? I mean, yeah, I agree with you. Yeah. We should. Yeah, I'd say so. I mean, to some degree, just the controllable level. Oh no, not really. No. No. I think we have enough of that already. You know, it might actually work. I definitely think you need it. I think when I saw Rich Ryan now came out, I was like, yes, it's showing other Asians, like they don't have to stick with their like, stereotype. I don't think like ratchet is maybe like the right description. I think definitely like more like outspoken Asian people. More Asians should be what they themselves want to be, rather than what the culture expects them to be. The ideal situation actually would be having really positive role models in every industry. That way, whatever it is that is your ambition. You see someone that you can look up to in a positive light.  Hell yeah. No. I need to go to law school, no. Nah, it's just not me, you know. I wouldn't, I wouldn't. I can't do that. I mean, I don't have it in me, but there's probably people out there who are like, but yeah. Optimistic, pessimistic about the future and why? Optimistic. Definitely optimistic. Optimistic. Optimistic, but it's like 52% to like 40%. I'm not really optimistic. I'm a little pessimistic.  Doing like a black accent will always be offensive, but doing like an Asian or an Indian accent will never not be funny. Asians are f***ed. Yeah, like the younger generation, like we were talking about, they're kind of getting the ability because they're already kind of established. They don't need to worry about surviving as much. So they have the freedom now to engage in these conversations. The fact that we have several people in the House and Senate that are Asian-American, that is a very good sign, it's a bright sign for our future, as not just Asian-American, it's an American. I'm actually from Hungary, and I got an excuse for myself, but you guys, you guys who are American citizens, you guys ought to do more than this. Come on, guys. The reason that we are perceived in American society on a widespread scale, people were a little bit intimidated about what it would take to make the change that they want to see happen. At the end of the day, I would just like to say that you personally may not want to be the person who stands out, but definitely at the very least, try to support those who do. In the comments section below, make sure you let me know how you respond to my questions today, as well as any other thoughts that you might have on this issue. This is David Fung for The Fung Bros. I'm in New York City, and until next time, thank you again for watching. I'm out. Peace. The reason you have to be optimistic is that if you were born at any moment in human history, and you didn't know what you were going to be born at, ethnicity, gender, you would pick 2017. You can hold that in head with the very diametrically opposed idea that this is still s**t, that we can do better, that we have to do better, but that we are still progressing, and that's something worth hanging our hats on.


this is my and my son's journey. My son was born after 15 years of our marriage. He was 3.5 kgs when he was born and extremely healthy child. Considering after 15 years he was born, we were all very excited about it. So he was a very healthy child. He is not even complained of anything other than whenever he had vaccinations, I think only once he had fever. So until three years, it all went very well. And finally we sent him to school for his nursery. So that's when he started losing weight. It was a common behavior in all the kids because as soon as they start going to school, they are very active and suddenly after COVID, they are exposed to the world outside. In September 2022, my son started falling sick. But it was just a mild cold and fever. And a little bit of a cough. So when that all went on for a while, but he recouped. Eventually his gums started swelling. And he had swelling on his right side, right next to his nose. So we kept going to the doctors and I did see five different doctors and even the place where he was born. And all of them suggested the same thing that he has sinus infection. So it should subside. He started looking very different. He had lost a lot of weight. He had come down to 15, from 19 kgs to 15 kgs. Then we went and saw ENT. And ENT suggested that we do an MRI scan. And that's where they confirmed to us that he has tumor. Before hopes, there was a lot of pain. We didn't know what to do. We didn't know because when the ENT gave us this news, in fact, we lost all our hopes. But there was nothing we could do. We really wanted to make sure we give the best and we make sure we save our child. So it was about what next. So while our ENT suggested that we go to a different hospital, my cousin was working in Manipal. We recommended Dr. Nilesh Reddy. And that's when we came here. When we saw the child for the first time, the child was quite sick. He came a bit late. And when we evaluated that child was found to have an advanced disease, it was a lymphoblastic lymphoma. They have been around for a few weeks and then they reached us. When they came, the child was quite sick. Initially, we had to stabilize, establish the diagnosis. And over the next two to three days, we started the treatment for the child. We met Dr. Nilesh Reddy and he said, let's first do a biopsy. And that's when we will see where, you know, what the MRI report has come out is that the right thing or how we have to go out. He was very open with us and very honest. And after biopsy on November 2nd is when we got to know that my son was, my son had lymphoma in the fourth stage. Post-starting of treatment, the child started to gradually improve. For the next two to three weeks, there was a significant improvement. The food intake of the child, the infections all started to settle down. The tumor started to decrease in size and then we discharged the child and now the child is in the third phase of the treatment, comes on an OPD basis, gets the treatment and goes back home. The child is quite happy. Within two to three days, all the swelling on his right side of the face was already gone. It was definitely a miracle for us because we had seen him that way with a swollen face for almost three weeks. That's when we started getting hopes.  And it was very difficult because he's three years, he's three years old child, right? So it was very difficult for us for him to adjust to this environment and everything, but that's the best thing. The doctors here, the nurses here gave him so much love and care. We were in the hospital for almost a month, more than a month in fact. So the take home message what we want to do is that this child has gone a lot in those initial days, about six weeks or so. This could have been significantly reduced. What we hope is that early referral to an oncologist center, which has got a medical oncologist, a pediatric oncologist or a hematologist, could have saved a lot of trouble for the parents. What I would request all parents is be very extremely careful with your kids to not ignore any symptoms and make sure you go to the right doctor. So it's always important you go to a hospital than going to small clinics when you see situations which is alarming, right? Do remember that among all the cancers, childhood cancers are the one which have got a very high potential of care. When we use the word cure, it means not just getting all right, it's living a normal life. What the childhood have otherwise survived, say 70 years or 80 years or maybe more than that. That is what is meaning of cure in pediatric cancer. So let us all together close the gaps between the care and see that every child who has got a cancer gets cured. I'm extremely thankful that my cousins recommended this hospital to me, which is Manipalashwimpur. I'm extremely thankful to the staff. I'm extremely thankful, particularly to Mr. Dr. Nilesh Reddy and Dr. Rupa Mam. All of them, in fact, all of them treat my kids so well. I'm very thankful for the hospital, Manipalashwimpur.

welcome. This is Melissa Armo and I wanted to do a quick little video here today how you can use my system, the system, the golden gap and take options traits, all right? You can rate the gaps and the do options traits. It's another way to use the system if you cannot be in the live trading room daily. So my email is Melissa at the stockswish.com. If you like more information, you can call me at 929-3200 gap. Today I called, today every trade I called worked. So today was Tesla, which was a put, dropped, fell. eBay put drop fell. Several ones in this going on here. Twitter dropped and fell. Another put. Okay. So all of these trains were options you bought the put. So if you were on the options letter, you got the trades. If you knew my class, my method, my system, the rating system, you could have rated these gaps. They were all bearish gaps today. And if they rated per the system, you could have taken puts in them. So options are different than day trades because you don't need margin. You only pay the cost of the option. And sometimes it takes a couple of days for it to go. Now, these ones here today all went, you could still be in them, but they all really went today when we do the day trades, running out usually in several minutes. So it's a different way. It's a different way of using the system. Now the big one was Facebook. This was an option that I called last Thursday. It was a huge, huge move. And I know not everybody held it because you had to stick with it. You absolutely had to stick with it, but this was a short. Here was the call. You could have bought the 175 or the 170 puts. I'm going to go over the 170 ones, went almost to the dream target, just a huge, huge trade expires Friday. So I really think most people should be out. If you have 100% conviction, it's going to keep going. You can be in it. It's a profitable trade. It really went huge. And that took three days or almost. Okay. So you would have taken it on Thursday and you would have gotten out today. Now, if you did the trade, just to give you an idea with an intermediate risk, what would you have made and how do options work? You pay the price. The price varies depending on the stock. Okay. And the, and the, and the strike that you get it at and the time. Okay. So for these Facebook ones, again, I called them on Thursday. So they were out this Friday. So it was a little over a week option price. You could have paid a buck. 10 contracts would have been $1,000 sale price for 15 profit was $3,150 with a $1,000 risk. I didn't, the option chain was over this, but I'm giving, trying to give you a good example here of the normal entry and exit. You would have made a return on investment of 315% in less than three days. That's huge. And $1,000 isn't, isn't that much of a risk to make three grand when you think about it. You could have risked less. You could have risked 500 and made over 1500. So, you know, whether you're beginner, intermediate or advanced, it was a huge trade. 315% return investment. Where are you going to make that money? Not in the savings account, not in a CD, not in a bond, not in three days. Okay. This is why trading gaps is so profitable. And I'm just such a great job. This is such a huge call. I mean, so many people for Facebook was along when it gap down in the earnings, because it was a huge gap down. And I'm not going to go into detail about that today. I'll talk about that in the webinar tonight. But if you did an advanced risk, you made bank 40 contracts or $4,000, which, which quite a few people can afford. Some people lose that in a week trading in a month. Okay.  And this is one of the reasons why my class is so worth the price. My class is $5,500. I mean, you can make almost the price of the class in one trade. So if you, I mean, for the intermediate, okay, for this, it would have been way, way more, but I'm not going to detail that right now. I'll talk about that a little bit. And it's getting back to the advanced risk option, $1 cost, 40 contracts is 4,000 shares, okay. 4 grand sale price, 415 still paid the same as the, as the first guy intermediate. You would have made one $12,600. It's a, it's a whole account for some people. Again, return an investment, 315%. So I just, you know, some people will go their whole lives and never make 12 grand in one trade. Now you did have to risk $4,000 for that, but that's huge. And again, this is why my class is worth the money. You learn what to do and not only that, you get my calls and same thing with the options letter. The options letter is 3 grand for the year and the, the cost for my class is 5,500.  So options are a way to make money though, if you can't be in the live trading room. If you really can't trade between 9, 30 and 10, if you really can't, if you, if you do not have a margin account to day trade, you can open up an options account and do the options trades. You pay the cost of the option. That's it. You take the trades and they get emailed to you. So it's another way to use this system if you can't actively day trade throughout the week. And also another benefit is you can use expensive stocks for this because we're not day trading Amazon and Google.  Sometimes they're, they, they really can run. Okay. There's no call on in this, no put on in this, but I just want to show you how expensive this is. And it's a benefit of doing options with the system as well to take advantage of the moves and some of those very expensive stocks. So the going to get course is a class that I teach and the class for August is August 4th and 5th. If you'd like to sign up from nine to five, it is this weekend deadline is August 3rd class tuition price is 54.99. If you'd like to sign up, email me and Melissa at the stockswush.com for sign up information. And then you will learn all about what to do. Okay. And the subscription for the newsletter is $2,999. If you want to sign up for this alone, you get the trades emailed to you and for it's for a whole year. Okay. The letter just gets directly emailed to you and you take the trades and you don't have to be in the room. You don't have to do the class. But if you want to learn how I find these trades and how I make the picks, then you have to do the class. Okay. I think it's best to do both so you can do everything. Equity trades, day trades, also know the system, do the options trades. You can even do swing trades. So I wanted to share this. This was a gentleman that he just signed up. He literally just signed up for everything over the weekend, hasn't even done the class yet and has already made money. So he already made money and has not even done the class. He did the Tesla and the Twitter and he's in eBay and that's dropping. He's not out of that one yet. I give that one a little bit more time. Anyways, he didn't get Facebook because he just signed up for the everything on Sunday. So he missed Facebook, which was last Thursday, but I'm certainly sure that he's glad that he did. So this is one of these things you do not want to wait. It's a busy season. It's earning season. I'm calling huge trades. It's been a great year. If you want to sign up for the course or the letter, email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com. Thanks everyone and have a great day.
