All right, well this session is called One Flesh and it is from 1 Corinthians chapter 6. We'll look at 1 Corinthians chapter 6 beginning in verse 12 through the first part of chapter 7 down to about verse 5 and we're going to speak of One Flesh and so I'll read the text and then we'll get into discussing that together. So in 1 Corinthians chapter 6 beginning in verse 12 Here the Bible says all things are lawful for me But all things are not helpful All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them Now the body is not for sexual immorality But for the Lord and the Lord for the body and God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his power Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot certainly not Or do you not know that he who has joined to a harlot is one body with her for the two? He says shall become one flesh But he who has joined the Lord is one spirit with him flee sexual immorality Every sin that a man does is outside the body But he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you whom you have from God? And you are not your own For you were bought at a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are gods Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me. It is good for a man not to touch a woman Nevertheless because of sexual immorality let each man have his own wife and let each woman have her own husband The husband let the husband render to his wife the affection do her and likewise also the wife to her husband The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does and likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer and Come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control a spray a Father in heaven. Thank you again for your word We acknowledge that we are under the authority of your word and God we rejoice to submit to it And thank you for the power of the spirit within us God to enable us and power us to submit to it and to obey it And here again where we come upon a subject in marriage Extremely important and what we want to obey you in this because you mean all things together for our good And we acknowledge that and thank you for it So help us as we listen I pray the word that we would be convicted of sin That we would be conformed into the image of Christ that you would equip us and inform us God enable us by your spirit to live A godly Christian marriage to your glory God in Jesus name. Amen.    Is that the way it works? No, no, you think I'm gonna be married and so I'll never have a problem with sexual immorality ever again It's not the way it works even in your marriage.   It's on tv shows. It's in the movies It's all over the magazines in the grocery store. Check out line It's being sold with everything the black fungus is everywhere you look from soft drinks to refrigerators To cars to motor oil to drain cleaner Pretty much no matter what is being sold. What is being advertiser?  They'll change laws for it They'll sneak around to get it They'll steal cheat and lie for it They go against nature for it They risk their marriages for it. They kill their babies for it This sexual bombardment has taken its toll and sexual immorality is a serious serious problem And it is a serious problem among professing christians and a serious problem in professing christian marriages The city of corinth was a society very much like ours. They had a problem with the black fungus too A corinth was situated between two seas the adriatic and the agian sea And it was a port city and much of the trade that went through that part of the world went through corinth It was the sin city of its day A prostitution riotous living debauched lifestyles were overly common So much so that a greek word at the time corinthian corinthian adzami Meant to commit fornication You actually use the word for the city of corinth in a word that meant to commit fornication A corinthian feast was the term coined for a debauched orgy orgy A corinthian drinker was a chronic alcoholic The adjective corinthian was used for debauched behavior.   There is no excuse. I'm not married. It's more difficult for me There's no excuse for sin The lord is sovereign over that the lord empowers you the lord gives you commands and scriptures that you In the lord under the power of the holy spirit can fight And in marriage those tools are a little different But you are to fight whether you're single or you're to fight whether you're married you're to be sexually pure now There were professing believers in corinth professing believers who were attempting To deal with this problem of sexual immorality and they dealt with it in one of two ways All right, there were those believers or professed believers who were trying to Justify their sexual morality with licentiousness They argued that everything was permissible for the christian and they considered bodily appetites like eating and sex To be nothing more than biology and they fulfilled those appetites like eating food It was just a matter of indifference to them right food is for the body sex is for the body It was just a matter of biology to them and they were licentious Others in corinth at the time were legalistic or they were ascetic They had What they thought based on scripture Was an extreme commitment to abstinence or to celibacy so much so that they would argue that sex wasn't permissible under any Circumstances whether you were married or not married. You just weren't to do that It was anything dealing with the body was bad or was sinful And so here in our text today in 1 Corinthians 6 Paul deals with the licentiousness in chapter 6 and then he gets into the legalistic or the ascetic in chapter 7 And in discussing this it all hinges or pivots on verse 18 in chapter 6 where paul commands Flee sexual immorality We're going to look at ways to do that today and doing so he offers Much help for us today In your christian life, you're going to battle constantly between two ditches Either a mindset or an understanding of scripture that leads you to licentiousness Or a mindset or an understanding of scripture that leads you to legalism You've got to battle between those two ditches and flee sexual immorality So now let's look at four points from our text four points We're looking chapter 6 beginning in verse 12 and we're going to get right thinking right thinking on this issue You must know what you're fighting And why this is not mere biology Sexual purity in your marriage. There's something spiritual going on there far more than just physical far more than just biology There is a spiritual aspect of this Secondly From verses 15 to 17. We're going to get right theology It's going to introduce the thinking and then he's going to talk about the theology that leads to that thinking This battle is not about you It's not about you. Paul says it's a great mystery, but he speaks concerning christ and the church There's rich theology that can help us in the battle Point three. We're going to see part one of a right response Part one of a right response.  You are one flesh and you're to fight this war together as a married couple And then point four, we're going to see part two of a right response You're to fight together One right response is to flee together. The second correct response in a marriage is to fight together Remember this if you're married, you are in this together. The two have become one flesh. All right isolation Isolation in your marriage is a relationship killer You cannot be isolated from one another in the battle in the fight. You have to do this together Nothing drives two people apart By sinning but sinning together like sinning together nothing drives two people apart like sinning together One thing you don't want to do is sin together by being apart You're going to fight this together and you must leave and cleave and become one in this error in this effort All right, let's take a look at right thinking right thinking is going to come to us from chapter six beginning in verse 12 Paul says here all things are lawful for me But all things are not helpful All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any Foods for the stomach stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them Another body is not for sexual immorality But for the Lord and the Lord for the body and God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his power So let's take that first phrase in verse 12 all things are lawful for me But all things are not helpful the first part of this was thought to be a slogan in Corinth They began to believe that because I'm a Christian well, the law doesn't apply to me I'm no longer under the law. Does it sound familiar? Is it not like today? We find the same stuff today, right? I'm no longer under the law. I'm under grace. And so all things are lawful for me The the bible speaks of freedom that we have in christ glacians 5 talks about that We have liberty in christ and so this group of licentious libertines in corinth We're taking that to mean they could do anything they wanted to they wanted to run off up the hill to the pagan temple and sleep with pagan prostitute You know temple worshipers they could If they wanted to engage in sexual immorality, they could of course is just biology is just the body and they had it wrong Galatians 5 1 says this stand fast therefore in the liberty by which christ has made us free And do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage people then Just like people today twist passages like this to give them an excuse for sin But in the very same chapter paul says in glacians 5 beginning in verse 16 Paul says I say then walk in the spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh For the flesh lust against the spirit the spirit against the flesh And these are contrary to one another so that you do not do the things that you want There are going to be things that you want to do But if you have the spirit of god in you the spirit of god wrestles fights Against the as paul says in roman 7 the law that is in your members Because the two are contrary to one another and you're not going to be able to do the things that you want to do He says in verse 18 if you are led by the spirit You are not under the law Now the works of the flesh are evident which are adultery fornication Uncleanness lewdness all for those words dealing with sexual immorality Idolatry sexual immorality is idolatry Sorcery hatred contentions jealousies outbursts of wrath Selfish ambitions dissensions heresies envy murders drunkenness revelries and the like Of which I tell you beforehand just as I also told you in time pass That those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of god When the bible speaks of the Freedom that we have in christ, it's always the freedom from trying to earn salvation by works of the law And it's freedom from the enslavement of sin to live for christ and not sin So freedom is not a freedom to do anything you want because you're not under law But under grace it's a freedom to not sin It's a freedom that we are under grace. We don't have to work our way to heaven And in it in essence Galatians 5 when it's talking about how if you are led by the spirit You're not going to be constrained or pulled or enslaved by the flesh It's basically saying welcome to the war The christian life the christian marriage is a battle It is a battle when christ or when paul says and when you come to christ The spirit and the flesh are contrary to one another so that you cannot do the things that you what Want or wish it's a battle You're not going to be able to do the things that you want to do paul qualifies a statement in verse 12 when he says But all things are not helpful all things are lawful for me But all things are not helpful And there is a principle in our members that wars against the principle in our mind And that law that principle in our members that Fleshly tug pull towards sexual immorality wants to enslave you It wants to enslave you bring you into captivity Sin is never helpful It is always destructive whether it's public sin Or your own pet private sin you believe it to be private. It is devastating.   You need to free by the power of the spirit Free yourself from these enslaving temptations Free your marriage from your own fleshly impulses This needs to be your independence day a paul wraps up this thought process here In verses 13 and 14 This is not simply biology that we're dealing with here It's it's not like our appetite for food Food was made for the stomach and god is going to do away with Both of them that whole process is going away But there were those that were using this physical temporary process to justify their sexual sin This is not The case with the body the body is to be a vessel for god's use Verse 12 13 and 14 And the body is to be a vessel for god's glory And the body is designed not only to be used in this life, but in the next Your body will be used in the life to come. Let's support these points Now these are the main points that he's making for right thinking in verses 12 through 14 Let's support these now with right theology from verses 15 to 17 and verse 15 The bible says this do you not know That your bodies are members of christ Shall I then take the members of christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot Is one body with her For the two he says shall become one flesh But he was joined to the lord as one spirit with him Again, something more than just biology is going on. This is a spiritual union.  This is not a just not just about self-control It's not just about self-discipline Gritting it out in your own power in your own energy This is a spiritual war that you're fighting and there are there are two unions mentioned here There's a union between the christian and christ And then there's the union alluded to here between a man and a woman in a sexual relationship and their marriage the two shall become One flesh Now the first union follows logically from verse 13 that the body Belongs to the lord.  You're baptized into christ You become one with christ and one with christ body And here we are all members of christ if you're in christ We know this from romans 12, right when we are though many we are one body We know that from romans 12 from first corinthians 12 And he follows in verse 17 With this glorious truth that we are one spirit With him so again something more than just physical here. This is a spiritual battle you're facing um, so then to take a member of christ's body And to make them members of a harlot Is especially grievous to god This is not just physical There's something spiritual going on here. This is extremely grievous to god for a christian To engage in sexual immorality Engages the lord It profanes the name of the lord again not in a way that Personally corrupts christ with your sin again back to that old that analogy that No more than a sunbeam that shines on a garbage dump is corrupted by it But his name is profane. He's blasphemed because of the association In that sense it is a horrifying notion to paul that you would take your members Connect them to a harlot and he responds never May it never be Right the second union here beginning in verse 15 involves the union between a man and a woman in marriage The most obvious understanding of this union is physical The bible says in genesis 224 it describes that they will become one flesh However, there's more than just the physical in mind here again more than just biology paul says in ephesians chapter 5 That christ nourishes and cherishes his body the church Because we are of his flesh And of his bones You're not only to leave your father and mother cleave to your wife and become one flesh with her But when you leave this wicked world leave your own sin behind to follow christ by faith You become of his flesh and of his bones. You become one with christ And this mystery When christ says that this mystery has everything to do with christ and his bride the church A mystery usually refers to something that was hidden in the old testament Now revealed not mysterious any longer in the new testament And here it is that marriage Is god designed And is god designed as a reflection of the glorious union between christ and his church So this one fleshness you've got to see goes more beyond just the physical This is referring to the connection between husband and wife This is the flesh and bones cementing of husband and wife This is the god authored love and commitment To one another as husband and wife This is the cherishing and nourishing attachment of husband and wife together There is a permanence here to their unity This is referring to the peace the comfort the security of our union with our husband or wife And this is the purifying and sanctifying love that we're to show each other in our union together And this is the in the carrying out of god ordained roles marriage Is to be a sacred and beautiful picture of the union that christ has with his body the church It's to be a visual expression of that a visual demonstration of the love that christ has for his church You are not your own so you're to glorify god in your body I think about that we mentioned this already in the in the first session You think about it then marriage again is not about you It's about the glory of god It has aspects of help for you, but ultimately it's about the glory of god. It is a living Breathing organic display of the gospel of the relationship between christ and the church It's to be a glorious monument a testimony A sacred tribute if you will the bible begins with a marriage and ends with a marriage marriage is transcendent All right for that reason We need to understand our marriages.   This is exactly what the serpent offered adam and even the garden He offered them in knowledge of good and evil offered them this struggle It's not just about you. It's not just about biology and it's not just about physical impulses Ephesians 6 verse 12 says this We do not wrestle against flesh and blood But against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this age Against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places So you ever wonder where the battle for marriage in our country fits into the spiritual picture into the spiritual perspective Tie christ to a harlot Tie him to everything which is unnatural That's why sodomy is not just like every other sin It's unnatural and it ties supposedly christ to something that is unnatural. Remember our black fungus Satan has invested a tremendous amount of energy Into spreading the killer and spreading the fertilizer and it's really that difficult In our society, is it really that difficult to identify a main front in that battle? Main front really is sexual immorality often in our society. It is everywhere and it's constant They infiltrate your environment more and more invasive ways They infiltrate your marriage more and more invasive ways God creates something good like technology and then satan twists it and corrupts it to invade your christian life to invade your marriage with temptation They use every means that is available to them That's why right now Because you sit together and think about this issue of sexual immorality that you have to learn to fight together That you have to fight you have to flee you have to fight and you have to fight and flee together Russell Moore said this he said that um, you must understand that marriage takes place on a spiritual battlefield Far more than it does on a romantic balcony It's not a romantic balcony. This is a spiritual battlefield. This is not a sappy sentimentalized love story This is not the sentimentalized tv Or movie love affair makes everything look good Right makes everything look promising gives you promise of everything you think you don't have in your marriage and entices you to gulp down the hook It's not the high school butterflies with no responsibility.  I look at myself in the mirror every day. Nobody is interested And then satan comes along with a deception Invading your marriage the battlefield that you're fighting on is littered with casualties Littered with casualties think about all those the carnage of all those that have fallen And satan seeks to tear to shreds everything that you stand for in christ tear it to shreds A faithful husband a faithful wife are people Who are fighting together To put to death the deeds of the body Not only as individuals but as a couple You Men are a warrior prince Your wife is a warrior princess Both fighting for christ and your marriage So how do you fight point three? Versus 18 to 20 Paul says in verse 18 flee sexual Immorality every sin that a man does is outside the body But he commit who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the holy spirit who is in you Whom you have from god and you are not your own For you were bought at a price therefore glorify god in your body and in your spirit, which are gods Filled with exhortation and then here too theological explanation First thing you have to do is you have to know how to fight. You have to know how to fight First Thessalonians chapter four verse three says this This is the will of god your sanctification that you should abstain from sexual immorality That each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor You should know how to possess your own vessel Not in passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know god That no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this manner Because the lord is the avenger of all such as we also forewarned you and testified God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but god who has also given us his holy spirit Paul says in first Corinthians 9 that he buffets his body. He disciplines his body and brings it into subjection So the first battle strategy we see in verse 18 is to flee Is to flee the word there for flee the verb is a Continuous way of life a continuous fleeing a constant fleeing you keep fleeing until the danger is passed And when is the danger passed? Never never you just keep fleeing you keep fleeing You never as soon as you think there's the moment of temptation is gone There's another deadly trap laid right you keep fleeing your body is the temple of the holy spirit Therefore committing sexual immorality is like doing the act in church Your body is the temple of the holy spirit God wants dwelt in the garden Then he dwelt in the tabernacle then he dwelt in the temple and he dwells in you Your body is a temple of the holy spirit The Corinthians think about this for a moment the Corinthians had been running off to the to the pagan temple after temple prostitutes And here much worse the professing christian performs the act in the temple of the holy spirit his own body Or which is worse The the Corinthian running off to the pagan temple We no longer as Christians belong to ourselves first Peter chapter one says this knowing that you are not redeemed with Corruptible things like silver or gold from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers But with the precious blood of christ as of a land without blemish and without spot therefore again glorify your glorify god in your body and in your spirit and flee Sexual immorality one you've got to flee every single instance of it swim upstream Know yourself know yourself Sit down and understand how to possess your own vessel where your weaknesses are where your vulnerabilities are Go all the way upstream and find out where all of that begins Get to the source and that's where you need to start fleeing If it is a simple glance at the magazine then start the battle there You don't give into that temptation if it's the billboard that you pass every day going to work Take another direction to work If it's the computer do what you have to do to fight the digital harlot at every single point along the way Find out where that begins and start fleeing there You've got to swim all the way upstream and know yourself and your vulnerabilities This is not a sappy love story. I love this not original And where I heard this but this is not a sappy love movie. This is not a chick flick This is a werewolf movie A werewolf movie. What do they do with werewolves? Listen, I know the full moon is coming And before this happens to me as soon as there is any indication whatsoever There is a full moon rising. We know it's coming And so chain me in the basement and don't let me out until the full moon is passed Right. This is a werewolf movie not a sappy love story Find out where your vulnerabilities are you fight and flee together with your spouse. Listen You need to tell your wife where your vulnerabilities are Men don't get threatened by this. You need to understand your wife also struggles Lives you need to tell your husbands where your vulnerabilities are and fight and flee together Chain yourself in the basement if necessary until you can turn back into a reasonably thinking christian man or woman Instead of the werewolf that you've become This is exactly what it means to deny yourself, right?    It doesn't mean that he doesn't love you. It doesn't mean that you are inferior Poor contempt on your ego and help him fight When he comes and he says to you that he is weak Or he feels vulnerable in this area feels vulnerable to sexual temptation What are you saying is that he loves you? He wants you and he wants his marriage to be great. Please help me fight in this area. That's what he's communicating to you Sin and temptation here in the marriage cannot remain hidden. That's one of satan's devices is to keep it secret that you don't communicate with your spouse and so Satan wants you to keep it secret because in keeping it secret keeping your sin hidden You're more and more vulnerable to that sin more and more vulnerable temptation to temptation. You've got to fight together Secrecy keeps you enslaved Proverbs says that it is the bread that is eaten in secret that is sweet It is particularly enslaving So get it out of the open It's the forbidden love thing right Get it out of the open You and your wife you and your husband need to leave here at some point today And go home and talk openly about this subject Get it on the table confess your sin Confess where you are vulnerable and weak Talk openly about temptation It cannot remain hidden. It's got to come out of the dark You've got to break the silence and break the secrecy You need to pray about it together talk about it openly together Help one another openly with it together and there must be openness about this in order to effectively handle it The longer that you think you can deceive yourself by keeping it hidden and fight this thing on your own Is the longer that you will remain in battle and enslaved over it You've got to talk openly about it isolation Is a subtle killer Of your marriage Don't keep Trying to do this in isolation from your husband in isolation from your wife Flee every instance flee with your spouse next flee to christ Let the word of christ dwell in you richly Flee to the promises of god the strength of god the enablement of god Remember this is not a battle with flesh and blood If you were battling only with flesh and blood then it would only entail weapons of flesh and blood And you could battle with flesh and blood weapons But you need spiritual weapons mighty in god for pulling down strongholds. There's a really good book I want to recommend to you. It's finally free by heath lambart. It specifically deals with the sin of pornography But it gives principles that broadly apply to sexual immorality and the table of contents in that book reads like this grace As a foundation in the fight using sorrow To fight using accountability to fight all biblically explained using confession to fight Using your spouse or your singleness to fight Using humility to fight using gratitude to fight all spiritual biblically grounded Weapons of your warfare to fight sexual immorality You can't fight the black fungus with a spork You need weapons mighty in god for pulling down strongholds You need holiness producing desire transforming heart changing hope cultivating spirit enabling god glorifying weapons of sin destruction Thanks, brother You can't fight the black fungus with a spork. It's even better when you have all of those weapons In both hands in the hands of your wife and in the hands of the husband Both fighting that way All right, flee every instance flee with your spouse flee to christ. Next. Let's look at right response part two beginning in chapter seven right response part two Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me paul says it is good for a man not to touch a woman Nevertheless because of sexual immorality let each man have his own wife Let each woman have her own husband Let the husband render to his wife the affection do her and likewise also the wife to her husband The wife does not have authority over her own body But the husband does and likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time that you may give yourselves Excuse me to fasting and prayer And come together again so that satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self control Here in response now paul is going to take on the Legalists or the aesthetics those that think you should avoid sexual intimacy All together in verse one and two paul's saying that celibacy inside of marriage is not good Celibacy inside of marriage is not good if you've been abstaining from sexual intimacy intimacy. It's not good It's not good if someone has been given the gift of singleness That's one thing but that is simply not the case if you are married If you are married That's not the case and celibacy or abstinence in your marriage is not good Not to be practiced if you are married in verses two and three here You are not to deprive your spouse Intimacy in marriage is obligatory It's a duty that you are to render it is a Service due a payment due in all the good ways that lordin sends that And it's for the purpose in verse five That you do not deprive one another you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer come together again For the reason that satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self control So paul gives a command in verse five Do not deprive one another in your marriage of sexual intimacy Now this is god's wisdom not your wisdom This is god's wisdom not your worldly reasoning And so if you think i'm fine the way things are and if we only have intimacy once every Eight months that's perfectly okay with me That is your reasoning not god's reasoning God's reasoning says that celibacy is not good in your marriage. You are not to deprive one another you are to come together Because satan will tempt you because of your lack of self control There's all kinds of difficulty all kinds of temptation that arise in a marriage when Husband and wife are celibate with each other When you're not regularly rendering to your spouse that which is do her um simply not the case if you're marriage if you're married you must View intimacy as something that you're owed that you owe your spouse don't deprive one another Marriage in light of that now marriage cannot be reduced To nothing more than being an escape valve for your sexual impulses And your wife cannot feel as though that that's all it is to you men However, it is an outlet and a protection and Among the many reasons that god provides for marriage don't deprive your your spouse All this cannot be an excuse for sexual sin Men you can't your wife use your wife in that way to gratify sinful sexual impulses Acting out pornographic images or acting out Scenes from your past or memories You are for each other in this And it seems somewhat in uh verse four In verse four chapter seven verse four You have what some have called an elegant paradox The wife does not have authority over her own body But the husband does and likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body But the wife does the at issue here in this verse is the word power authority The authority that's being spoken about You have in marriage the custom if you will Of the father giving away the daughter to Her new husband and is giving away. She is giving the daughter to her bridegroom to be his Here in verse four this giving this authority when it comes to sexual intimacy is twofold is mutual Everything here is given mutually each one has authority Wife has authority over the husband's body husband has authority over the wife's body And in the context of this letter it would mean this men As the Corinthians you don't have the right To traipse off to the idol temple and sleep with temple prostitutes Whether that's a digital prostitute a mental prostitute Or merely a physical self selfish indulgence you have an obligation To your wife None of that is allowable Because you don't have authority over your own body to do with your own body as you wish your wife does So you can't use your body in that way your wife is to It belongs to the lord verse 13 in chapter 6 and to your wife Specifically again in chapter 7 ladies You don't have the right to be celibate in marriage or ascetics Anger is not an excuse selfishness is not an excuse You're not to use sex as a bargaining chip Or withhold it as a weapon you have an obligation to your husband Your body is not your own to do with as you please it belongs to the lord and belongs to your husband Husbands you don't have the right to abuse your wives or to force her Anything in any relate relationship to that to make her do things. She doesn't want to Because your body is not your own And you cannot use it as you will without her consent You begin to see the paradox here many times I've heard this taught as man You can do whatever you want to because that's your her body See that chair there you have the right to sit in it and it's explained that way That's not what this text is saying man You don't have a right to your own sexual immorality because your body doesn't belong to you It belongs to the lord and to your wife women You don't have a right to sexual immorality because your body doesn't belong to you It belongs to the lord and to your husband Men the paradox here you can't do whatever you want to do with your wife because Without her consent because your body doesn't belong to you in that sense You don't have authority to use your body as you want to because your wife does Likewise with women There is such here a mutual authority There's a mutual love a mutual respect in line with what we know the scripture teaches the scripture clearly teaches Look out for each other and esteem her esteem him more than yourself esteem others more highly than yourself And one way it's been suggested Is that the wife does not have exclusive rights over her body The husband does not have exclusive rights over his body either way that you look at it follow this guideline for verse four here The equality in authority here Results from a person Limiting their freedom for their partner Not the partner exercising a right Over the spouse does that make sense? You're limiting their your freedom on behalf of your partner It's not the partner exercising a right over the spouse the notion of rights really in scripture is sort of foreign To all that we see in scripture you are undeserving of any grace You're undeserving of anything that you have And so it's always rights or freedoms or liberties that are limited For the benefit of another rather than enforced for the benefit of yourself For that reason wife Limit your rights limit your so-called liberties and render to your husband what is due Husbands that's that's given as a responsibility to the wife Not to the husband to enforce that you understand the difference Husbands you limit your right you limit your right over your own body You limit the freedoms that you have with your own body Really don't have any freedoms in christ to do whatever you want to your body is the lords and your wife You limit your own freedoms for the benefit esteem of your wife.  I don't want to correct that that this is Something that men force on wives Because they struggle Sexual intimacy is for the other person You are to give that which is due to your husband give that which is due to your wife You're not to force that on your wife force that on your husband It is a give you see the difference between the two One is grace and graciousness and love and tender loving care and kindness and the other isn't And this helps us to battle And it's in accord with chapter seven Where you're to render To one another the affection do one another. It's a god glorifying rendering, right? All of that to say you have to fight with your spouse and doing that Say what you want to say and think what you want to think Again, it's worldly reasoning and your own imagination your own thought process That you succumb to That fools you into thinking that you can have a sexually pure marriage And be celibate or be separate from one another You have to fight with one another You have to flee with one another one of the weapons that is strong and mighty in god for pulling down strongholds is to Render to one another what is due? These are things that god commands in a marriage to to help you. Um, it's interesting to me, you know, you you council couples or talk to people and um Much of it to mark's point comes to communication. There's a big tremendous part of counseling in a marriage that Is about this um There's just no affection there. There's just no Tender love physical affection physical love and so you can almost ask the question. Well, then how long have you been involved in pornography? Because the two things almost always go together If you're having intimacy issues or you're having temptation issues in a marriage Well, then how long has it been since you and your wife were faithfully involved in intimacy together in the marriage And you can find out in a matter of seconds Exactly where the problem is And it's often you know frustrating because you you've got these weapons these tools at your disposal That are graces from god and we don't avail ourselves of them because we're too prideful. We don't talk about it with one another um, you don't Work together to make sure that these things happen And so right now in your home page you write those things down If that's the case with you and your spouse, then you've got to fix that because listen you cannot presume to believe that everything is okay If you're not following god's program here god's design then there is a problem And that problem will cause difficulty cause sin In your marriage and it'll cause sexually immoral sin Cause sin with sexual immorality So to wrap this up It requires each spouse to understand the other's needs the other's needs and to humble themselves to help Each spouse has got to do that. This is not an individual sin issue Married or not. It doesn't involve only you. This is not just a relationship issue. This is a spiritual warfare issue Many here today that need to begin this warfare in earnest And the way to begin that in earnest is to bring it out of the dark Uh to come out of hiding Satan in this world would love for you to continue hiding your sin And they know that if you keep it hidden they can win Confess between one another the challenges that you have And your sin talk to your spouse today about these things and resolve to wage war together today often We have the misconception that because a sin is past That it's over And it's not the case Many people carry this sin in their marriage for a very long sustained amount of time And you wonder why your marriage feels dead Why there's no Mutual interest in your relationship for one another Where all the difficulty and the strife and the contention come from very well mean mean that you are harboring sin Unrepentant of over a long period of time You think that it's okay because it's long past and it's still wreaking havoc in your marriage You need to confess to your husband confess to your wife confess to the lord Turn from sin and wage war together today. It may be old memories It may be old fantasies. It may be your preoccupation right now with pornography Any number of ways that you can sin sexually against god and against your spouse gotta deal with that and repent today A satan really only has two weapons that he can use against you one If you're a christian if you're a christian one, we've to subtly shift Just move your eyesight either to the left or the right away from that Which god made for your good intends for your good and created for his glory And just to get you to corrupt or to twist that which god intended for good The other is to assault or accuse the brethren Romans 12 just to simply assault or accuse you You sin in this way and you're right back in the bushes with adam and eve Hiding from god hiding from your spouse sinning in secret You need to get out of the bushes Take the warfare out of the bushes Confess it openly fight openly work on it openly You must come out of hiding on this and use the weapons that the lord has given you amen This will wreak havoc in your marriage Sexual immorality sexual sin if you're single wreak havoc on your single life This has to be dealt with and if you're single Confess to a brother get an accountability partner get help Um submit yourself to the word of god in all of these things and wage war Um got a wage war in our marriages. So again, don't be deceived by worldly or faulty reasonings of what marriages to look like in this respect You know, it's the old excuse the older you get the less important that becomes There's worldly reasoning This is serious business and there it will reap consequences if you're not obeying the lord in this, okay? Let's pray A father in heaven God, I pray just in taking a look at this passage that we would recognize You are infinitely wise And that you know what is best Your word is true And that we just need to humble ourselves and obey you in these things Um, what do we need to humble ourselves to our spouse? So that we can fight these battles together Need to humble ourselves to you and repent of sin Turn to you in faith and trust you that you've given us the weapons that are mighty in god for pulling down strongholds God and to confess to one another And god to have marriages in this sense Following your commands here that are glorifying to you So lord, we acknowledge that your word is true and right That you are good and gracious and that we Although underserving god have your word you lord that we can trust in and depend on And having marriages that are healthy that are god glorifying in this.  It's not unlike it was in Corinth and uh paul's time Lord, we recognize that we need even more today to to fight and to fend off this gross Black fungus that seeks to devour and to follow you in faith and just to obey you in these things for your glory god and for the The right testimony and a christian marriage and for cultivating all those joys and Blissful realities of what it means to be married in christ. So thank you lord in jesus name. Amen


Martin will read for me place, look, look, scripture looks seven, story of Jesus raised from, from death, young boy, please, and from there we will start our talk. I'm going to read from Luke seven, verse 11, and it says, Now it happened the day after that he went into a city called Nayan, and many of his disciples went with him in a large crowd. And when he came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. When Lord saw her, he said, compassion on her and said, do not weep. Then he came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood, and he said, young man, I say to you, arise.  I want to talk this morning on a topic with my English, maybe it's hard for you to understand, but in the process you will find things what I want to talk. Confrontation because of... Confrontation, how I can say it, because it's reversible. Can I say it like that? Confrontation because it's reversible, on the base of this story. Many times in our life, each of us, we have many stories, and I personally have two. And I ask this really hard and wanted to know question, is it reversible? Is it changeable? Is it possible to change? Is it done? And there is no light in the end of tunnel. It's so important for us to find out, is there is reverse? I remember when I was young, and one really, really bad news came to me.  And that accident could be removed and it not happen in just one second. Just one second my sister ran from the garden through the small gate and truck was driving. And she exactly in same second got under wheel of big truck and crashed totally. If one second later she will be alive. And many others stories in my personal life, in your lives, what happened or what is going on right now in process. And in that moment when I heard this news, being far from my home, 100 kilometers. And I ask, is it reversible? Is it possible? Just five years old. And many, many, many stories and still again, still again we raise this question. Is there is change? Is there is reverse? I remember I lost one time big money. And I was so disappointed and I ask, because I remember this moment. I bring to my remembrance everything in one point where I was in one bank. And I filled the papers on the table. I left big amount of money on five new cars. And when I filled that paper I went to cashier to ask that she checked. Is it, I filled everything all right? And she said everything okay and I forgot turn back on my table where whole money was on the table. And she took and complete everything for me and I stray because I thought big money in my pocket. I was scared that nobody check me and I stray in the door and money was on the table. When I back, no money there. Everything, everything is lost. And I raise this question, is it possible to turn back and reduce something? And is it reversible? Unreversible. Many things which happened already in our life and we are sure it's unreversible. But when we talk today about things which going on in our life, we mean process in wrong direction, wrong way with bad diagnosis. Relationships, many things and we willingly or unwillingly, but it's as a fire within our heart, our soul. We ask ourselves concerning our relatives, poverty, bankruptcy, diseases, many other things and we ask ourselves, is it reversible? Is it possible to change? Is there is way make differently? This story which we just read about lady, mom, wife, she is widow, city of Nain where this young boy died and that's the life of the city. And that's time and today. In the city, there is many things. If we will take for example, three city, Pasco, Richland, Canovic. There is our society are split each kind of life, their portion. There is portion for people who are doing drugs, alcohol, depressed people. There is portion of the people who in pain, in agony, torture, in process of divorce. There is, we don't want to change things where is good, where is money in pocket, health body in body, where is prosperity. It's okay concerning such a style of life. But we raise that question, is it reversible in the life of the people where life are headed in a wrong direction? In the life is heading, sickness has one goal, purpose to kill, to bring death, take your money, take your possession, ruin your relationship, poverty, failure and many other things. For us so important to know, first of all, is it reversible? That style of life, that situation, from these testimonies we can see that in the life of people there was change and people use it. From half and from what reverse change, from what point change started? In this case, in this story when we read concerning city of Nain and we see two groups of people. One group of people were following from the city. They yield of themselves to death's reality which is in the city. That was style of life, same understanding. Small resistance in the end they yield, they capitulate, yield themselves to sickness, disease, some kind of under pressure of spirit of disunity, divorces and many other things. In a short period of time and they bring things out of the city and money out from family, things out of the city and buried them out of the city. Those people whom we saw today in these testimonies, first of all, is it reversible? Because if we can find out clearly that that's things, situation, that condition is reversible, reversible. From this story with Jesus Christ we have to take other group of people. There was group of people who carried these dead young men from the city but there is another group of people who follow Jesus. They constantly saw, tried to see his answers, signs and wonders and miracles and that's group of people like to observe, search out, find out, changes, reverse. And they accustomed themselves, become familiar with the things. That's opposite group accepted as unchangeable things, unreversible things. But this group who was with Jesus, they were different people. With my weak English what I tried to say here and I believe you can find my point in the end of my sermon. I have my leaders over here. What I tried to do, I tried to start up that spirit of search, search. I start to start up that spirit of disagreement. I try to show the truth. It is reversible. I want to show as Jesus show for that's group of people. There is a change. There is an answer. It can be differently. Sickness can be switched on health, poverty and abundance, bondage and the freedom. Cry and tears and joy, divorce and unity. It's so important today when we are living in that city of Nain, 3 city, Pasco, Richland, where we are. And so easy to accustomed, to be relate, to share, to participate. Life of capitulation, yielding. That's family diverse, that's marriage fall apart. In that family there is drug addicts, alcoholics, poverty, nobody has education. I accept for myself as a citizen in this city. But so important for us to be open minded people and stand on the side of Jesus where changes is possible. And when that's coalition right to people, met together, Jesus stopped that's group, that's process. Jesus he was formed. I want for each of you brothers and sisters that we deeply can understand from this testimonies which Alexander presented for us. That we will be people objective. See more wider, including things. And that we can know it's reversible, that's process is reversible. Confrontation because of reverse.  Find out for yourself. Don't stay in naive. We're common understanding. Perception of life. Where people yielding maybe after short resistance and bearing the things, relatives, friends, possession, finances, business is so easy. Because looks like it's a culture of this world. Culture in your family tree. Culture is like a nature today.  If you will go on the internet and find out such a prophet as a shepherd Bushiri, as a prophet Kibijashu, John Chi who is coming and many others. Find out your situation indeed reversible. Your life indeed can be changed. And on the beginning, first of all what you have to find for yourself. You have to answer for yourself. It's reversible. There is a change. Confrontation because of reverse. You cannot make that reverse possible if you just wish, if you just want it. You have to, as Jesus did for that group of people, how many of them it doesn't matter. But Jesus stopped them. Raise in yourself spirit of disagreement. And now based on revelation, there is reverse. There is change. As Vladimir just talked about that ray bone in the cloud. Find in that cloud, in that tornado, in that strong wind which had it in your life. Find that's promise of God, that's ray bone. Find that's promise of God. There is a change. That's tornado, destroyed, that's family, that's family, that's region. But God said in that cloud I will put my rainbow. It's for you. Stand on it. Believe in it. Confrontation because of reverse. We first of all deeply have to understand out of these testimonies that people put their effort, their force, their strength to stop it. Behind your calamity, disease, behind your poverty, this unity, anger, depression, there is a spirit. There is demon which had it toward you. And if we will discover for ourselves that God is good. He is only beloved son, only son to die for our good, for our salvation. God on our side, He came with the purpose to change in our life, to make difference in our life. Stop it and push it back. Stop it and make force. Stop it, resist against it, rebuke it and change will come. Ilya just told us story about this young boy who on the beach throw the back this fishes. And boy answered and Ilya said there is thousand beach around the world, but we are not responsible for all places. But we are responsible for our world, what we will do. We do not orientated what's going on in the family of your neighbor or your friends. But take responsibility for your world, for your beach. Take and do it. It's reversible, can be differently. You can be different person. Looks like in the life of Joseph when he was in prison. But what bring change in his life? There is not much what he can do in prison. But deep in his heart he had revelation. It's reversible. He was guarded from every side. He couldn't do much. But on the base that small revelation, he tried his best. And one night, one day things changed. It's reversible. Brother and sisters, be connected to that, that's group, that's ministry. Where changes happen daily. Where healing happens daily. Be connected to the such a ministries. We live today in developed technology world. You can easily spend your time where it changes, positive changes happens, happens, happens, happens. Feel yourself with revelation from above. It's wrong when I am in poverty. It's wrong when I am always in tension and fighting in my home. It's wrong. Connect yourself to the places when changes happen daily. Even I have my relatives. Right now we are waiting this crusade. And I have people who right now in the process of divorce, families falling apart. And I try to prove them, hey, you have everything. You have beautiful house. Beautiful, big house. You have expensive, you have expensive cars. You have health. Everything is good. Why you do not connect yourself to the places where marriages comes together, unite. Today we have such many places where God supernatural through his anointing, Holy Spirit with the split of second, bring new heart, new love in heart. But my relatives, they don't want to spend their times in the places where changes are happen. It's so important you are happy people. And confrontation because of reverse, you have to be anger. Raise in yourself disagreement. Raise in yourself holy anger and attack wrong direction. Reverse it back. Make you turn. Make you turn. Say as Jesus said for that group of people, they already yield that boy. They were ready to bury him. But with Jesus everything is possible. Switch disease on a good strong health. Right now we are in good place. My sermon, my preaching with my weak English, my our leaders right now after me, they will lead you in holy anger. Be bold. Stand strong.  I stop you and I reverse things. I command you turn.  And God rejoice when we have this revelation and things will happen. It will be revival, salvation and healing and deliverance and prosperity. When the Holy Spirit comes, their blessing of God, forgiveness, resurrection, restoration, unity and blessing comes in Jesus name. Amen.

Welcome back to Geeks are sexy. I'm Jason Laduke your host for the fourth Thursday I got it right this time last time I said Friday the fourth Thursday of every month take it over for Michelle Davis on the show We're back with my good friend Cynthia Nutter She is the owner of CJ Nutter Accounting, which you just started this year I mean like real recently like the last part of the year right last quarter Last quarter so and her mission is to promote and empower small business And what I really like about what your mission statement is is that you're there to protect the financial security of hard-working individuals and I know a lot of accountants I don't hear them talking about it that way and I think that's really cool that that it's not just about the numbers or the Profits, it's really about financial security That's about people right and that's what I really like about what you're doing So tell us how you got started in accounting because that story goes way back That goes all the way back to the Enron collapse back in 2001 your price man all day talk about that nightmare Yes, but tell us how you got started in accounting also when I was it was at the time where I was thinking about where like what I wanted to Study I always thought I was gonna study law and I Just remember about the time that Enron collapsed There was so much drama surrounded or you know and there was so many there were so many people that Suffered and I lived in Houston at the time. So I I watched people go home with boxes in their hands. Yeah, I I literally went to a retirement party one week and in the next week, you know, they lost everything their entire entire Savings entire all their investments were just down the tubes And they had a lot of investment a lot of holdings in Enron companies. So It was hard watching people who should have been retiring have to get jobs at Walmart You know anything to get by it was just heartbreaking for me to watch that and I Just remember being glued to the TV and anything to do with Enron. I just I didn't understand it I didn't understand. I was so young. I didn't understand what was going on It was super confusing even if you weren't young and there's a great documentary about Enron It's called the smartest guys. Have you seen it? Yes, the stuff that was going on at Enron. Well, it was bonkers. It was Arrogance and hubris and just to the to the next level stuff But so you were very confused about what was going on, right? And I wanted to understand it and I saw these people that I guess now I know that they're auditors. I was like, who are those people? That's what I want to do I want to investigate this kind of crime.  You just have to be extremely selfish and willing to hurt other people. And our legal and especially our generally accepted accounting practices are supposed to prevent that kind of thing from happening. Right. Well before before Enron That wasn't in the scope of an auditor to do they weren't supposed to determine whether or not they were subject to fraud They just were supposed to make sure that the financial statements were accurately represented And it wasn't until they passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act where It is now the responsibility of an auditor to to some degree, you know Express whether or not there was concern for fraud. Okay, and In addition to that now also the officers have to sign off on that because that was one of the That's a lot a lot of how people got away with it in the past. I didn't I didn't know I didn't know now They have to know and they have to sign off that they know exactly what's happening. They have to take responsibility. So Yeah, so you studied accounting. Yes, and then you did accounting for other people for a long long time. Tell us about that I worked in the private sector for the first part of my accounting career, and then I went into the public industry and I Helped a couple accountants develop their Bookkeeping practice portion of it. I got into tax work And So tell us why you left that to start your own firm and I went into public accounting I worked for a very good CPA out here and The way that the work was conducted was very carefully. It was he was very much in alignment with the way that I thought Caring about making sure that it was all about your client making sure that we were doing everything to protect the client Making sure that our work even though the client didn't see our work making sure that our work was protecting the client in case of an audit In case anybody came back after them When I went to work for other public accounting firms because I wanted to spread my wings to fly so to speak I Wanted to become an auditor that was always part of the plan So when I went to other accounting firms, I realized that the quality of work that these big accounting firms do It's really not it's really about the bottom line for them, which I understand you want to you want to make money We're all in business. We're all you know businesses make money. That's what we're supposed to do, right? So, right, right, so While I always looked at The quality of work is an issue I still tried to you know do as they asked me to do but it was it just became increasingly difficult to Do what they wanted me to do knowing that there was a way That I could be protecting the client in the way that I presented work because I saw so many ways that they could Not that these other companies did anything intentionally, but they just it was careless in some ways And I just always have my like like you said I always think about the individual Sounds like you you put a human face on every on every client absolutely and keep that in mind as you're as you're doing your Work for them. Absolutely. So we're coming to the end of a year. It's almost the end of 2018 We're about to start 2019. What's some advice or what some tips you might have for some small business owners or even some families? About their accounting of the financial planning coming up. What are things they should be thinking about as the new year kicks off? I think it's new. I mean, I think it's the same for every new year. Okay Get your books in order get your books in line. Make sure that you're on top of it Sooner than later, you know, and that way your CPA your accountant Can get through the tax season smoothly with you Yeah, I would just say So what does that mean to get books in line? Like what are some of the common mistakes some of the common gotchas that you see when a small business?  Right? So what else do you see? What are some of the gotchas that small business owners, especially new small business owners might have? For their first year of going through taxes as a small business Hmm I Guess just not having every not having your Bookkeeping done for the year if you wait till the last minute to get it done It's gonna take longer and your CPAs gonna have to do Somebody has to put in the work, right? And so if you can go through a bookkeeper like myself you can go through I also do taxes, but If you utilize somebody throughout the year you prevent yourself from getting the surcharge At the beginning of the following year, right? So keep your books current, right? Keep them clean. It sounds like Save those receipts. Yep, and you can do that digitally now, right? You can save all that digitally You don't have to have all this paper hanging around, right? So keep your books current Keep them clean keep them up to date, right? Because you can do that yourself if you're so inclined to if not Absolutely find someone to do that for you, right? You're much better off spending a little money than you are spending time driving yourself crazy But have you know make sure that's done because when it does count when it could when it comes to your taxes Especially this time of year if that's not already done The account is gonna bill you for doing all that work to get them cleaned up, so So right any other any other financial tips or accounting tips for us for 2019? I would say that a lot of business owners that I see Have a hard time Distinguishing the difference between the federal tax laws and the local tax laws. Okay. Yeah, really important Yeah, that is very important. One example is, you know, if you have employees The federal government has their Outlined for what they consider an employee and then the state has their outline The states usually gonna be a little bit more stringent a lot of especially if you're in California If you're watching this in California changes this year, so, right, right, so a lot of what Business owners do is they pay attention to the federal law and they're like, okay It's an employee so I can pay them as contractor and employee taxes And then the state will come in and audit and then you'll have fines and penalties to pay on top of that You don't want to do that. So all right. Well, thank you so much for being here today Sit right there because we're gonna have you we're gonna bring the others back for our panel discussion But before we go tell us who you're looking to connect with and tell us how our audience can get in touch with you So any business owner is who I'd like to connect with that, especially business owners that are needing bookkeeper Or a tax preparer I Offer part-time CFO services as well as Staff development services So anybody who already has an established bookkeeping department in their business who might need somebody to come in who's experienced and knows how the services should present I also help their staff learn the bookkeeping processes I like to also see Who else people like this guy who do business consultant. Yeah, I'm always looking to connect with people So but but it's not about me today, but thank you so much for being here We're gonna we're gonna come back in just a few minutes with our panel discussion. I'm Jason Laduk This is Geeks are sexy. We'll be right back

All right, so we have some lost art promotion lot. That is definitely not sealed. Oh, we've got some movie pack, we've got eBay. So this is sharing stuff from eBay, which is pretty cool. We've got some ghost from the past options. Here we go, here's one of my favorite products, the Kyba Collector box. All right, I'm definitely gonna grab this Kyba Collector box for $78. I also think that I wanna grab this legendary collection for Joey's World, because these are two of my favorite products to open. I think we're gonna grab that as well. And if you click on the marketplace app, it takes you to eBay. Sassy Auto, our favorite seller is selling this. So it's perfect. I think we're gonna grab those two items and open them up in a YouTube video. So make sure to check that out. Make sure to go check out the Collector marketplace if you guys wanna find some really cool stuff. It's the app that I used to track my graded cards and products and stuff like that. I'll have the link in the description as well as in the YouTube video we're doing in the future. All right, and we have officially gotten the box, which was bought from Sassy Auto, which is cool because working with Collector, working with Sassy Auto, so it was great that both people were involved. Sassy Auto was like, hey, why'd you buy these? And I was like, actually it was for a Collector thing. He's like, oh, let's get an affiliate link going. So he has an affiliate link down below. You guys can check it out in the description if you guys wanna buy the stuff that I picked up, which was, you guys have seen a second?  So I guess you already know. So let's just open this box. Before we actually get into the opening, of course we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away all the pulls in this video. So we're talking about the Kaiba collection box, plus the deck that has the ultimate rare in it, plus potential ultimate rare in Kaiba, plus the legendary collection for Joey's World, all first edition cards. So all those you can win, like the video, be subscribed, turn on notifications. Let me know what you think about the Collector marketplace slash what is your favorite card in this opening. And then shout out to Sassy Auto once again for sending us a little business card. All right, we are gonna start it off with the Kaiba collector box because it is massively big. It's ridiculously large. You can actually, by the way, I'm not shipping the blue eyes card. It is too big. So you're not getting that in a giveaway. Everything else though, you can win. So here's the classic giant card, which is now being given away in all those mystery boxes. It will not be given away in this video because I don't wanna ship it. It's just too big. The blue eyes white dragon. So you'll get the regular size blue eyes. You'll also get the starter Kaiba loaded, which has an ultimate rare blue eyes and another blue eyes.  Then there's six packs that we will be opening. Duelist pack you, Duelist pack Kaiba. Let's start with those. Then we'll get into legendary collection for Joey's world. So here we go. Let's see what we can pull. Will we make a profit? That is the whole goal of this video. So we spent whatever it was, $214, something like that. We're gonna see if we can make our money back. So a couple of things to note. We'll have the value of this if it gets over a dollar. I think that might be around a dollar. This guy probably worth about 10 bucks. So that's gonna add back there. Then we're gonna do our pulls from everything else. I think giant blue eyes maybe has like $1 value which we can add if it does. So now we're trying to make our money back. It's gonna be difficult, but let's see if we can do it. If we can pull an ultimate rare, it'll go a long way into doing it. Obviously not in this pack because we know Yugi got absolutely screwed. We're just gonna do Yugi first because we know that his packs do not have ultimate rare. So we're gonna get those out of the way. Could we pull the dark paladin worth a few bucks? Not bad, unlimited. Let's see if we can get a Buster Blader. Next card I think, Light Force Sword and the dark magician, very nice. Final card here. Let's see if we can get our $214 back. We have Brain Control, very nice. Big Shield Gardener, Spellbinding Circle, Korribo and Magical Atts. All right, Yugi, you let us down once again. All right, now crunch time, ultimate rare time. Will we get Pot of Greed, CED, Ring of Destruction, Crushed Card Virus or Cyberjar? I believe that's all of them. Sword Stalker, a monster formed by the vengeful souls of those who passed away in battle, very creepy and very awesome Sword Stalker. Polymerization, he Totsumi Giant. Ooh, a super rare XYZ Dragon Cannon so we did get some pet in the dark clown. This is officially a foil. I don't actually know if it gets over a dollar though, so that might not help us too much right now. We are not looking so good in terms of making money, but you know, that's how it goes. That's how it goes, open and sealed product. Legendary Collection 4 usually is very solid in terms of making money back though. So maybe it'll help a lot. Let's see if we can get an ultimate rare here. He Totsumi Giant, Fluid of Summoning Dragon. Asagi, the dark clown, and. Man, it was like less than a month ago that we pulled it for the first time in like two, no, more than two years, like four years. Oh my goodness, you've gotta be kidding me man. Another ultimate rare. So that is gonna go a long way to making our money back. I mean, we probably still don't, but that is like 30 to $40 I think, ultimate rare unlimited. Wow, and you guys can win this card so don't forget to enter the giveaway. Wow, and if you guys wanna pick up some of the products yourself as well, check out the link down below for a little affiliate with Sasiata, wow. All right, shout out to the collector marketplace and Sasiata for clutching up on the duo there. We got the Y Dragon head, Lord of D, Sagi the dark clown, cloning. Okay, that means we didn't get anything. And Vampire Lord, so we went one, no, sorry. Two for six, one ulti, one super, that was amazing. All right, woo, all right. I already feel like I'm gonna pass out after that. I was not expecting to get that excited. All right, let's go. Legendary Collection 4, Joe's World. Here are our contents. We don't care about the game board. I don't think it has any value. It might have a couple of bucks, but I don't think it really does. This pack though, I believe is like a $15 to $20 sealed pack. So that's definitely gonna help us with value right there in terms of coming back. So we've got a deck, we've got a sealed pack and we've got a CED ultimate rare. So it's going well in terms of the value. We're still probably not even close, but we're trying to get there. Can you pull something big out of Joe's World? I don't even know what the best card here is. We opened a bunch of these recently. Wasn't it like Foolish Burial was one of the best, I think? I don't know. I can't remember. That card has probably changed in price since then. It was like $37 at that point. Can we get a big pull though?  This just got a reprint, otherwise it was like a $5 card. So unfortunately for the value. I think it's, let's do two from the back. I think that'll be fine. We have sword slasher. This is a classic card, a lethal engine of destruction that wields two well-honed blades. You'd love to see that. 1450, engine of destruction. He takes a sacrifice and he's 1450, very weird. Dice reroll, Neckoman King. I mean, that might even be a dollar still though. So that might be on the value scale. So it's a bit of land style. Shadow tamer, that's just a rare. We have a stray lambs. I don't think that's very good. It's an ultra though. Ooh, a red eyes darkness metal. This one's definitely worth around five plus dollars. So that's a solid card. An hysteric party, that's also pretty decent. And then a dice jar actually might be worth something as well. So that was actually a pretty decent pack. All right, one heck of an opening so far. I mean, very solid cards we were pulling. We still have four packs of this to go. So I think we could have done, what, three from the back? I'm just gonna keep it going with two because it worked. Fossil excavation, very nice, graceful dice. Cool to see that as a common, very cool. Needle wall. Alligator sword, hey, this mighty lizard man can swing a sword so fast that it's more than, I can't ever get through it. It's more than to speed of sound. All right, very nice. Alligator sword, very cool text there. Chaos strap hole, Jinzo is a rare. That's pretty awesome. I wonder if that gets over a dollar. I doubt it, but maybe it does. And, monster reborn. That is definitely gonna at least be something. Monster reborn, I'm guessing two to three dollars. Secret rare, here we go. Come on, something big. Another one, a red eyes darkness metal dragon. That's pretty good. Did I say flare last time? Very good. And then a harpy lady too. See look, I made the right decision with the pack trick. It would have been a foil. Harpy lady too. That was actually another pretty good pack. Wow, what an opening so far. Can we make our money back from the collector marketplace? Here we go. We have black tyranto, blowback dragon. Needle wall, come on. Alligator sword added again. Let's go. Chaos strap hole, pretty decent card. What else will we get? I think this is the rare. Beast of Tauwar. Okay, look. This is when they changed it and they added, this card is always treated as an archfiend card. Very cool. Okay, next is a ultra rare. It's a spell. It could be what? Heavy storm, another monster reborn. Heavy storm, we called it. I was like, I think that's in this set. Heavy storm, that's always gonna be at least like a dollar, right? Very solid in the secret rare. Will we get another darkness metal dragon? Let's see. Okay, it looks like a normal. That's usually not a good sign, sabrosaurus. Yeah, okay. We've opened a lot of this. See, we know it's sabrosaurus. And then a polymerization. Okay, polymerization is probably worth a couple bucks. So our worst pack so far, but still not bad. These packs, I mean, they're always decent value. Even the worst, you know, the bad packs have decent cards in them. So let's see if we can get something really big to end this thing. Uh-oh, not ended. We have two more. Second to end. One, two, come on. Joey's world. Let's go. We have wall shadow. We've got that giant text that a chaotic meatball likes.  We've got the raiukouki. I was looking for this guy for a long time. Now we have a lot of them. Vampire's Curse, another beautiful card. Trap of the Imperial 2. That's a creepy card. Come on first. It's a rare Gravekeeper's visionary. Was this ever a good Gravekeeper? I don't think so. I don't think it was a little too late. Okay, I'm next. What will we get? It's another spell. What's it gonna be? Gates of the Dark World. This went up a lot because of the Dark World Structure deck. So that might actually be a little value there. It used to be like 20 cents. Now I think it's actually worth dollars. Secret rare, let's go. It's a trap. It could be, of course, solemn judgment. We're looking at a compulsory evacuation device. Some good stuff like that. Oh, it is solemn judgment. That's a good one. That's always gonna be five to 10 bucks. Very solid secret rare. And finally, these are first edition because there's no unlimited in this. And Harpy Lady One. So we have a historic party and a couple of Harpy Ladies so far, not bad. Final pack of this opening. I think we've pulled pretty well. I don't think we've made our money back, but I bet we're over halfway there, which is not bad.  You either pull something or you don't, you know, for the most part. All right, legendary fisherman, let's go. Let's pull something big. Labyrinth Wall. These walls form a labyrinth with no exit for enemies, unless you're Yugi and Joey. Go for the legend. Relief Monster. It's no longer a secret rare from Retro Pack 2. It's a common, okay. Beast Skull Dragon, cool to see that. Treated as an Archfiend card. They added that there as well. Come on, Ultra Rare. Will it be a spell? No, it's not a spell this time. Amazonus Tiger. I don't think that's a great one. It's still really cool to see the Amazonus Tiger. I hate Amazonus from Dual Lakes, though. Next up, Secret Rare. What will it be? It's a spell. Oh, this is like a 15 to $20 card. I know this is a good one because even though it's banned, will it get unbanned one day? Let me know. Still worth quite a bit. That's a great pull. Probably our best secret rare. And finally, Red Eyes Bee Chick, a classic looking card. You love that. And then, oh, even more classic.  And then look at that air dude, man. It's amazing. Just amazing. The Mio Toco. Love to see it. What an opening. I think we did pretty well for the packs we got. You guys can win every card in this video. Besides this, doesn't count.

Future Generations If There Are Future Generations Future Generations If There Are Future Generations Will scarce believe that our species once stockpiled Armageddon weapons on purpose, once built our entire civilization around economic models that could only result in the destruction of our biosphere, once permitted corporations who profit from war to successfully lobby policymakers to start more wars, once warehoused living beings in factory farms where they were tortured and brutalized, once starved children to death with sanctions because their rulers disobeyed our rulers, once made policies which kept people poor so they'd be financially coerced into facilitating military mass murder, once let people go hungry and homeless if they didn't have enough imaginary numbers in their bank accounts, once stripped this planet of biodiversity and old growth forests to turn the gears of an imaginary economy instead of collaborating with our ecosystem. Future Generations If There Are Future Generations We'll look back in perplexity at our omnicidal madness, at our blind subservience to the very worst among us, at our remarkable ingenuity in always finding groundbreaking new ways to hate each other, at our fanatical devotion to competition and control when we knew that all we really wanted was to be loved.  At the amount of energy we'd pour into not experiencing the beauty which surrounds us in every moment and rejecting the gifts we were being showered with from every direction, at the Heculean effort we poured into keeping enlightenment from crashing in, at our nonstop desperate flailing attempts to be anywhere but here and now, at the amount of work we put in to avoiding being at ease. Future Generations If There Are Future Generations I am so glad that you made it past all the many obstacles that we put up between our present age and your birth. Praise be to you and your parents for cleaning up our mess, for setting things right, for becoming conscious, for valuing a healthy world, for getting humanity to where you're at now so that the real adventure of our species could begin. Future Generations If There Are Future Generations Thank you for your kindness and compassion as you gaze back on us through the records we have left you. It might not be immediately obvious, but some of us here saw what you're seeing from there.
