Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way. And may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. Now what you're seeing here mentioned is body, soul, spirit. Say I am a spirit who has a soul that lives in a body. Now let me be very clear here. I am not by any means saying that man is a trinity. But I am saying that there are three aspects to man's nature. The human being was born with three aspects in regards to his nature. Now that is spirit and soul and body. Now I have these gentlemen standing up here to kind of give us this illustration of which is what. And I don't want to spend too much time on this, but this is a foundational understanding.  It's hard to do, I know. So he's the spirit, you're the soul. And I'm sorry, Nick, but you're the flesh. But I know you're a man of the spirit, but you're playing the flesh tonight, okay? Or the body, the physical body. Spirit, soul, body, say it with me. Spirit, soul, body. Spirit, soul, body, watch this. Your body is what we shall call your earth suit. It's your communication with the world around you. It's how you sense the world around you. It's how you experience interaction with other individuals. Every interaction that you have with another individual is grounded in the physical realm, at least on this side of eternity. Now, what's interesting here is that many people are under the assumption, the false assumption, that the physical body is somehow evil in and of itself. That the physical body is some wicked thing. And where that confusion comes from is simple. When Paul the apostle writes of the flesh, sometimes translators translate the word flesh the same way for body and sin nature. So you have to look carefully at the context when you're reading. Sometimes when the scripture talks about the flesh, it's talking about the sin nature, the carnal mind, the tendency to do evil. And other times when it's talking about the flesh, the scripture is talking about your physical body. Now, if the Bible says that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, how is it possible that your physical body is evil? It's not. It's what we choose to do in the body that makes it good or evil. It's what we choose to do in the body that makes it holy or unholy. So the physical body can be holy. It can be a carrier of the glory of God. I remember one time I was ministering in Kansas. And I just got done preaching a service. I'm in the lobby. And as I'm in the lobby, I saw this woman on the side of my eye. She comes hobbling into the service or out of the service. Her knee, something was wrong with it. It was very obvious because she had a very distinct limp. So she's limping by me. And suddenly she stands up straight like something had surprised her. She looks around like this and she starts stomping her foot. She turns to me, reaches out toward me and starts running, screaming. I was terrified. I had no idea what she wanted with me. She comes, she starts shaking me. Like shaking me, screaming, what did you do? I had no idea what she was talking about. I was like, backing up like this. Like, what are you saying? What happened? She said, I had surgery on my knee like two years ago for the last two years because they didn't do so well on the surgery for the last two years I've been walking around in pain.  I was shocked. I said, Lord, I didn't even pray for her. That's what I said to the Lord. I said, I didn't even pray for her. He said, and this is what the Holy Spirit said. He said, that's because I live in you and every so often I like to reach out and touch people. The physical body say with me, say, I am a carrier of the glory.  You don't have to go searching for atmospheres when you carry an atmosphere. The physical body, the physical body guys is not evil. It can house the glory of God. I was attending a Bible conference and I set my Bible down. Eric, you'll like this. I set my Bible down on the chair and I left and then somebody brought me the Bible. They thought I lost it.  You left it on a chair. I thought, well, great. Now I lost my seat. But this individual who was handing me the Bible was shaking and I asked myself, what's wrong? This person said, I don't know. They said, when I grabbed your Bible I felt like a heat and a tingling sensation move up my body and now my body's trembling. It was the fire of God guys and that tangible touch of God's power is not just on me. It's on you too. It's the power of God. So the physical body can be programmed under the sin nature or the spirit. That's why the Bible says if you wanna walk in the spirit if you walk in the spirit you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Why? Because you can only be programmed for one thing at a time. So the physical body was trained under an old mindset which is why the flesh has what's called the sinful cravings. The cravings came from an old way of living. But here's what happens when you begin to live in the spirit. The physical body begins to lose those cravings and the things that used to give you pleasure disgust you now when you even begin to think about them. That's what happens. Your physical body starts being trained under that new way to live, that new mindset. It's like an upgrade on your phone. You ever have a phone start glitching and then you get the new software updates? Suddenly it starts working better? Same thing, your physical body got a software upgrade. Adam 2.0, Christ and you. Old nature gone, new nature lives in me and now I'm transformed. So it's transformed under the mind. What does the Bible say? Be not conformed to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of the. Okay, you got it. That's it. Program the body under the spirit. Now watch, that's a body. I am a spirit who has a soul that lives in a body. Okay, so the body can be trained under the spirit. Now the soul is the mind, the will, the emotions and the personality. The mind, what you think, the will, what you desire, the emotions, what you feel, the personality, how you behave. This is where mindsets are established. This is where thought patterns are established. Let me show you something. In 2 Corinthians chapter 10, this is so powerful. 2 Corinthians chapter 10, I'm gonna go down to verse, I'll go down to verse three. Watch this, we are human, what we don't wage war as humans do. We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons. What's the point of this? What's the spiritual warfare right here? To knock down strongholds of human reasoning. Guys, did you hear what that said?   Knowing, there's the mind again, God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. You know what in the King James Version is casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. The soul is where bondage is not necessarily owning you, but it's where bondage is influencing you. The mindsets of this world, the pattern of this world, we preachers need to stop taking our cues from the world and start taking them from scripture again. Can I just be real with you tonight? There's no power when you preach your political opinion. The Holy Spirit's not gonna back that. I've seen great men and women of God anointed who carry the glory on their ministries the moment they start focusing on their politics, the glory lifts and they become like a clanging symbol. Comment yes, vote yes, influence yes, but to let that take over who you are in Christ, your identity's not based there. Our mindsets are rooted in the word, not in the world. When you preach your opinion, you lose power because God will only back his message with power. He will not back your message. If I were to stand up here tonight and preach my opinion, there'd be no anointing on it. If I were to preach my thoughts on any one given subject, there would be no anointing on it. But when I stand up here and look to the word and look at you and say thus saith the Lord, there's power on it because it's what God is saying and he backs his message with his power. So those messages start to take root in the soul. They start to grip you, old thought patterns. You say, oh, I was raised this way. I go to a church where like 90% of the church members are ex-gang members. I'm serious. Steve and I go to the same church. There's a church and that's hyperbole, not 90%, but if the culture was a gang culture and they will tell you they came out of that mindset. I'm not talking that they would run the streets. I always kind of got weirded out when they would say like, these are my streets. I own them. I'm thinking like, okay, so like, that always confused me. I didn't know like, are you the mayor? Are you like, do we pay taxes to you? Like, how does that work exactly? But you know, that was the kind of mindset and I've seen firsthand people go from that gang lifestyle of violence and selling drugs and in and out of prison to being transformed. And suddenly they're like the sweetest people in the world. Why? Because a stronghold was taken down from the mind. These are the type of people, I know guys who you even looked at them wrong, they would cut you. But now people can come to the church and be rude to them, push them around and they kind of keep their cool. They're like, okay, you know what? I'm just going to let that go. And I watched that transformation because that's a stronghold in the mind being uprooted. And this is why, this is why church, we have to allow the Holy Spirit to work in our minds. Now the mind has all of those problems, the lies we believe, the deception we allow ourselves to believe, the opinions we allow ourselves to have have to be checked by the word. So this is still the soul. The mind, the will, those things we desire. Emotions, some people live by their emotions, man. One day they walk into the church, I'm ready, I'm gonna fast, I'm gonna do what God tells me to do. And then by the next week, everybody there is a hypocrite, I couldn't stand what happened there. And so and so looked at me wrong. And so, and then there's all of these things and excuses that begin to impede their spiritual growth because they're living by their emotions.  Means there was no spirit. Before you were saved, all you were was body and soul, existing but not living, animated but not alive. And you would go living from the body and the soul and that's why all you lived for was what you physically craved and what your emotions told you to do. You only lived out of two outer shells of who you are. You lived in the body and the soul. You lived for cravings and for self. It's where selfishness came from.  But now, the Bible says, and notice by the way Jesus said, don't fear the one who can destroy just the body.  You notice he doesn't mention the spirit there. And he doesn't mention the spirit there because those who are alive in the spirit are destined to heaven. Now, when you were dead in your sins, you did not have a spirit. You were just body and soul. When you were born again, Jesus said that which is born of the flesh is, that which is born of the flesh is, but that which is born of the spirit is, so you were born once but you must be born again of the spirit. You see what I'm saying? You didn't have that sense. Now the spirit is your connection with God. First Corinthians chapter two, verses 10 through 12, tell us about our connection with God and how the Holy spirit searches out the deep things of God. And he communicates the deep things of God with your spirit. First Corinthians chapter six, verse 17 says, he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. I have one spirit with God. I'm not battling two natures. It's not me and some other guy. You have one nature. You may say, then why is it sometimes that I sin? You realize that when you sin, you're acting in a nature that is not yours. You're acting against your nature. Some people say, you know when I sin, I feel like a fake.   That's not who you really are. You're not a wolf in sheep's clothing.  So my sin nature, I'm not even identifying with that anymore.  That woman went through so many things, some her own fault and she would admit that. But she actually went through a divorce. Many people don't know this about Miss Coleman. She went through a divorce and years later, obviously God restored her, she went back in a ministry. A woman comes up to Miss Coleman, years after her divorce and she comes to her, she says, how can you call yourself a woman of God? How can you stand up there and preach? She just started to berate her with her past. And Miss Coleman said, oh my dear, I believe you have me confused for someone else. I don't identify with that person anymore. Paul says, when I sin, I'm not the one sinning, but sin living in me. Is he saying we're not responsible for it? No, he's saying I don't identify with it. Now here's how it works, okay? So here, righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. That's the kingdom of God. Some of you know the verse, most of you know the song. But righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Ghost. Flow through the spirit, power in the spirit, anointing in the spirit, love in the spirit, Romans five, five, the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. The gifts of the spirit flow through us by the Holy Spirit. All of these things available, the desire to pray, the love of God's word, the boldness for evangelism, the power to live holy, all of it here. Here's the problem. Most Christians live like this. What's going on here? What happened? Nothing, okay. Okay, you look forward. The flesh winked at the soul. Okay, so that's how they work too. Now here's the problem. Spirit flowing, everything you ever need. What if, remember, we read it, 1 Corinthians 6, 17, or I quoted it to you. He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. Do you realize in your spirit you already know God? This is why people ask me all the time, how is it possible that God would give us the Holy Spirit and then why would there be a need after God gives us the Holy Spirit to receive the Holy Spirit? When is the Holy Spirit received? I'm here to tell you tonight that the baptism with the Holy Spirit, as I will show you, is not about you getting more of God. It's about God getting more of you. So here's spirit, power of God is flowing. Everything, I am one with Christ in my spirit. This is why I say that revelation is not when you gain new knowledge. Revelation is when that which you know in your spirit manifests in your carnal understanding. So I already know that. First John 2, 27, you've received an anointing. In the spirit, you don't need a man to teach you. Now, some people think that that literally means they don't need anybody to teach them. What it means is you don't need anybody to teach your spirit, your spirit already knows. Otherwise, why would God give us the gifts of the teacher? Why would God give the church the teacher if nobody needed to be taught? Okay, so that's not what it's saying. It's saying you know God in your spirit. I know him, I'm one. I'm walking in perfect fellowship with him. The problem is that we face the exterior things in life. On the outside, right here in the realm of the flesh, finances do that. Relationships, your health, things at your job, the concerns of this world, your many responsibilities, your connections with your loved ones, all of it, including your emotions up and down. Now here's the problem. Because we are attached to the exterior things of the world, the fact that the world is chaotic means that there's chaos produced in the soul. This is why some of you can be so excited to be a part of ministry, the church, evangelism, worship one week, and then the next week want nothing to do with it. This is why your prayer life is inconsistent. This is why you can't devote to the Word of God every single day. You know why? Think about prayer just for a moment. You can volunteer down at the soup kitchen. You can volunteer for the media ministry. You can volunteer to play on the worship team. You can volunteer to do all sorts of things and you'll love it, but the moment you start to pray, your flesh starts to squirm. And the reason your flesh starts to squirm when you pray is because prayer is the death of the flesh. But we live like this, not wanting to tap into the spirit. And so our emotions go up and down. Our mental state goes up and down. We get our cue. We start to think like the world thinks. God give us the sermon in this hour. We start to think like the world thinks. We become so focused on the exterior that our joy begins to dwindle. Now you've been praying, God, give me a breakthrough. God, help me feel better.  And you think God is gonna come and change everything on the exterior. He does, sometimes. God, fix the marriage. God, heal my body. Father, bless me financially. Nothing wrong with praying those things, by the way. But the issue is this. You're waiting for God to transform your life through some dramatic transformation of the exterior circumstance. You're looking for your breakthrough from a large external transformation rather than a small internal shift. When you live like this facing the spirit, it doesn't matter what happens out here because I have joy in here. I can't shake me. There was a powerful man of God who was riding on an airplane, taking a nap. Suddenly the pilot realized that they were lost and running out of fuel. Everyone in the cabin started to panic. I knew this man personally. He has since then gone home to be with the Lord. But they came to him and they said, look, we need to, we're gonna do an emergency landing. We have to find where we're landing. They woke him up and he says to them, he said, Jesus slept through the storm. I will sleep through this. And he went back to sleep. Now they ended up landing safely. They found where they needed to go. I knew that powerful man of God. Like I said, he's gone home to be with the Lord. But powerful, powerful man of God, unshaken by circumstances in this world. Unshaken. I know another man who was actually in a plane crash, survived. Everyone was panicking on the plane. He told me this and the people there can testify. As the plane is rolling, he's laughing in the spirit. I kid you not. The people on the plane said this. Everyone survived, thank God. But he says the thing, they crashed and they're rolling. And he's praying in the Holy Ghost, laughing as they roll. And he came out without a scratch on him. I'm hearing about these people laughing when airplanes roll. I'm thinking, man, I start to get stressed when I start to wonder if the financial responsibilities will be met. I remember one time there was a need in the ministry. Oh, I was stressing. And I knew we were up against the deadline. And I said to the Holy Spirit, I said, Holy Spirit, please, please, please take care of this need. Speak to someone, anyone. I'll take it from even someone who doesn't know you, Lord. Just anybody. What does the Bible say? Well, so the wicked is laid up for the righteous. I'll take it. So I'm praying this. And the Holy Spirit says to me, I'm gonna take care of it. I said, thank you, thank you, thank you, but Lord, please send it, please send it, please send it, please send it. I'm gonna take care of it. I said, thank you, Lord. And I kept praying for it. So this gentleman comes. He's a wealthy gentleman. And he just decides, hey, I'm gonna write you this check. The moment he wrote that check, and I was holding the check in my hand, I felt relief. Because I knew it was enough to cover what we needed, and then some. I said, thank God, you came through again. And the Holy Spirit rebuked me.  But when a man gives you his signature, suddenly you have peace. I felt like this big. I was like, I don't know if I want to know the voice of the Holy Spirit right now. He'll rebuke you, man. He said, when you can trust my voice as much as you trust a man's signature, then you know you're walking in faith. What does that represent to us? The exterior, living in the flesh, worried, attached to all of these things, when God wants you to face the Spirit. When you live like this, you cannot be shaken. When you live like this, it doesn't matter what they say, it's not gonna work you up. It doesn't matter how they treat you, because you're gonna still have the love of God and the strength to treat them properly. You see, when you treat people well who mistreat you, it says more about you than it does about them. So I can live like this, you can live like this, if we would simply face the things of the Spirit. This is why I believe that Paul the apostle wrote. Think about what they were facing, persecution, all of these things. Paul the apostle writes, I'm pressed, but I'm not crushed. I may be persecuted out there, but I'm never abandoned. And then he says this, you can even strike me down, but I can never be destroyed. I am a spirit who has a soul that lives in a body. Thank you gentlemen. I am a spirit who has a soul that lives in a body. I say, David, okay, what does that have to do with the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Now that you've got the foundation, I'll take just a few minutes to teach this now. When is the Holy Spirit received? At salvation, you receive the Holy Spirit in your spirit. At baptism, you release him into the soul and body.  He said, out of your innermost being, your spirit will flow rivers of living water. And the scripture tells us very clearly that when Jesus talked about the rivers of living water, he was talking about the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the baptism with the Holy Spirit is when that river within me floods everything around me. Baptism takes place when I'm submerged. You see, the same thing is true of a ship, a boat. A boat stays afloat because it's in the water, but the water is not in it. The moment the water gets inside the boat, the boat becomes baptized. Some of you have the Holy Spirit. If you're a believer, Romans eight, nine tells us that if they don't have the Spirit of Christ, they don't belong to God. Many of us in this room have the Holy Spirit. The question is, does the Holy Spirit have you?   We need to empty ourselves and allow that water, that river of living water, to flow from deep within. The baptism with the Holy Spirit is not rain from heaven. It's a flood from within. When that water begins to overflow from my Spirit, it fills the soul. When that water fills the soul, my mind is transformed. My emotions are lifted. My heart is changed. My mindsets begin to adapt to the word of God. My personality even begins to become transformed because the soul is being overcome by the floodwaters of the Spirit. Now something very amazing happens. In Romans chapter eight, verse 26, the Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit pleads for us, pleads for us. I love that phrase, pleads for us with groanings that cannot be uttered and he prays for us according to God's will when we don't know what to pray. That verse in Romans eight, 26 is not talking about the gift of tongues, but follow this. A lot of preachers use that and they say this is the gift of tongues. It's not, it's not, it's not. Romans eight, 26 is not the gift of speaking in tongues. It's the source of the gift of speaking in tongues. Think about the fact that people will travel all over the world to have a man or a woman of God lay hands on them. Think about the fact that we have people who pray for us who love us. He pleads for us. That means he fervently prays. If you could see the Holy Spirit praying for you, you would see him face down on the floor. Tears streaming down his face. His voice would shake the room. I dare say he would be pounding his fist to the floor, pleading for you as he prays. With groanings, that means a deep, urgent groan, something that comes from deep within his heart.  He prays and he pleads fervently for you. The one who knows you like no one else can know you, prays for you like no one else can pray for you. And he prays what? According to God's will, meaning he bends you toward God's will. He inclines you towards God's will. He works on your character and nature and like the potter shapes the clay, so the Holy Spirit's prayers shape you. That's what's happening inside. The Holy Spirit pleading with groanings that cannot be uttered. That's Romans 8, 26. Now, 1 Corinthians chapter 14 verse 14 tells us that when I pray in tongues, I'm praying in the spirit. Praying with my spirit, with my spirit, with my spirit. What does that mean? Means I'm not praying from my flesh. I'm not praying from the physical body. You know what praying from the physical body is called? Desperation. I'm gonna really come against some mindsets right now. We've created a culture of desperation in the church because we don't understand our oneness with God.   Servants beg, strangers beg, sons come boldly. I don't wanna pray from the flesh. I don't wanna pray from my emotions from the body or the soul. Now, what am I saying? Is it ever wrong to dance around? No, I love watching Stephen Mark de Zuma get up here and worship. I love that Steve shouts and jumps and dances. I love that you shout and jump and dance. And the Bible says to do that. But we don't do that because we're trying to work up a connection with God. We do that because we're celebrating the fact that we've already been connected with God. Imagine how much time you'd save in prayer if instead of begging God to hear you, you simply believe that he already does. I don't pray to connect with God. I pray from connection with God. So I'm not praying from the physical body. Yelling, shouting, that's an expression of what happens on the inside. If what's happening on the inside overflows to that, let's do it. But if I'm doing that to try to get something to happen in my spirit, it's praying in the flesh. I get phone calls. I prefer texting now. It's just much easier unless I need an answer right away than a call. But sometimes I get a call and I like to go visit South Orange County and I drive down there to the spectrum. If you're over there on a Thursday, you'll find me and Steve. Just drive out there and just, we meet there, we go over notes. We tape Thursday nights. So Thursdays we go to the spectrum and we just writing notes and scriptures and he works on his music and we're just talking about what we're gonna do that night for the filming. But as I go through Orange County sometimes, I go through those spots where the signal starts to drop and I'll get these phone calls from people and invariably, sometimes the calls will cut out and they just sound like that. And when they start doing that, please don't tell this to anybody I know, just don't tell anybody, but I'll just hang up on them. And I'll let them think the call dropped because I'm not gonna deal with the whole back and forth. But what happens is, what happens is they start yelling.  You see, they're trying to make up for what they lack in connection with volume. You know where I'm going with this. You see, in my spirit is where I'm connected. Do you know why at the worship events and at the conferences, they tell you to be desperate? Because it makes the worship team look good. I'm just gonna be real with you.   Do you know why churches will build a culture of desperation? Because they wanna be able to brag at the atmosphere. Because they wanna be able to point to the hype and say, look how God is moving. So they make you feel like you have to work for it. Oh, I'm preaching this thing right now, exposing religious spirits. The problem is, they're trying to make up for in the flesh what's lacking in the spirit. Because when the spirit starts moving, you don't need to force them. You don't need to coach them. You don't need to make them feel guilty for not making you look like you know how to lead a worship set. That's why I thank God for the worship ministry of Stephen.  But you see, and it's not just worship leaders, it's pastors too. Preach a whole sermon on shouting so that they can show a two minute clip of everybody's shouting and show off how wonderful they responded to their sermon. Guys, I'm exposing some real things here. See, these are things that are deep now. And the problem is it's all from the flesh. It's from the flesh. And they create that culture because they wanna create hype. They wanna create hype because they're lacking the move of God. So you're not desperate enough. You need to shout. Shame you for not responding to their gift. Oh my gosh, I can put the Bible, I can put the word away now. I preach this thing. And the problem is we do it too to ourselves. We exhaust ourselves because we love that. We love to work ourselves in a frenzy. The problem is that's why you don't like to pray. You don't like to pray. You don't like to read the Word because you think that when you come, you're gonna have to work to connect with God. How discouraging is that? Jesus said when you pray, say our Father, he didn't say, God, do you hear me? I imagine the conversation goes something like this. God, do you hear me? Yes, I hear you. Lord, please listen. I'm listening. God, do you see me? I see you. God, I need you. I'm here. Our pleading church, church, church. Our pleading is too loud.  Praying from the flesh. Worshiping from the flesh. Trying to create something that's not there. Instead, instead. Romans 8.26, Romans 8.26. He pleads. He prays. He pushes. With groanings that cannot be uttered. First Corinthians 14, 14. When I pray in the spirit, when I pray in tongues, I'm praying in the spirit. When I pray in tongues, I'm praying with the spirit. First Corinthians 6, 17. He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. What does that mean? What does that mean? It means that when I pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit is praying for me through me. The Holy Spirit is praying for me through me. Now, let me be clear. Because I don't want to get you confused now. If we're up here saying, come on, shout into God with the voice of triumph, that's good, shout. First saying, come on, let's dance, dance. If we say, pray in the Holy Ghost, go for it. I'm talking about the mindset that says that's needed in order to connect with God. You hear me? But when I pray in the spirit, those prayers that are taking place in my spirit come up out of the spirit, move past the soul, right onto the body, and it comes out as tongues. There's a story about a little girl and my aria now. I say one, but Jess, she's how old? A year and five months. So she knows the months. Dads tell you how old they are in years, moms in weeks and months. My little girl is 15 months old right now. It's too fast, too fast. It's true. I hate cliches, but it's true. Anyway, so I want to teach her to pray. So this story really inspired me. There was a story of a father who was teaching his little girl to pray. And each night he would kneel by her bedside with her. Say Lord, she would say Lord, bless me, bless me. They would go through it. She would repeat them. So the night after night he does this, he trains his daughter. And one night he decides I'm gonna, I'm gonna let her pray on her own, see how she does. So he lets her go into her room, he tucks her in, he leaves and she's now saying her prayers by herself. He leans over, cups his ear and starts to listen in on her little prayers. And she's not praying, she's singing A, B, C, D, E, F, G. And I won't sing the rest, but that's what she was singing. She was singing the alphabet. He thought, okay, that's adorable, it's cute. He leaves her to it. The next night he comes back, he's walking by, puts his ear to the door. Here's it again, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Now he's getting concerned. I hope my daughter knows how to pray. How long should I let this continue? Am I misleading her to allow her to pray this way? So eventually he goes in. He says to the little girl, listen, sweetie, when we pray to God, we have to actually pray. She says, I am praying, dad. She says, no, no, sweetie, you're not praying. You're singing the alphabet. She says, daddy, I am praying. Says, what do you mean? She says, well, I just sing the letters to him and I let him arrange him how he wants. That's praying in tongues. When you surrender, the Holy Spirit fills. The Holy Spirit can only feel what is empty. If you're praying words that you fill with your meaning and intentions and purposes, the Holy Spirit can't fill those words with his own meaning and purposes and intentions. But when you pray in tongues, kente, robo, sende, robo, bobo, sente, rien de boco, I'm releasing a sound in faith with nothing I'm attaching to it. Perfectly pure, coming from my spirit. Leave it to God to hide the power of praying in tongues behind such a childlike act. Leave it to God to require such faith in order to access such power. You know why people don't pray in tongues? Because they don't know what it is. And I'm gonna tell you why you can't pray in tongues. You can't pray in tongues, one word, ego. Now, when I say ego, I'm not just talking about pride. Because ego is self. People are under the impression that when the gift comes upon them, that the Holy Spirit is gonna come down, grab their tongues, start moving, and they're gonna start praying in tongues. Doesn't work that way. You control the gift. That's in the Bible. Read all of 1 Corinthians 14. In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul the Apostle writes a whole chapter on how to control the gift of tongues. Why would he instruct them to control the gift if the gift could not be controlled? So here's really what it comes down to. You have to have the faith to speak it out. It's as simple as I'm gonna surrender syllables and sounds to you. And I'm gonna have the faith that you are going to add your meaning to them. People come up to receive the gift of tongues. They'll say things like, in their head, someone's praying from, they say, oh, that's just me. I'm just repeating someone. Is that a demon I'm getting? I'm thinking, a demon you're getting. I mean, if praying in tongues, let's just say we're all wrong and praying in tongues is not biblical, which it is. Let's just say it, okay? Humor, the cessation is for just a minute. To say that it's demonic, I mean, people laugh, people cry, that's an emotional expression with no words. Why wouldn't we say the same of tears? Well, you know, when you're crying, you don't really mean anything and the enemy could enter. It's nonsensical. When you're praying in tongues, what's wrong with releasing sounds and worship to God? It's like humming or crying. It's an expression with no words that you release to him. But the bottom line is this, if you want that gift to flow through you, you have to speak the syllables and sounds. I'll give you one more illustration that we're gonna pray, amen? I don't like when people drive, you know, you're on the freeway. I used to not care when I was single, I would drive and I'd see cars drive by real fast. I go, whoa, did you see that? What was that? Oh, it was a Ferrari, oh, it was a Lamborghini. Oh, wow. Now somebody does it, I get mad. My daughter is in the car. What are you doing? But I always found it interesting that people take pride in how fast their car is. Like, we know that's not you going that speed. It's your car. Like, we don't go, wow, that guy, he's so fast. He's pushing a pedal down. He's not really doing much. I'm not that impressed. I just never understood that. Look at how fast I went. I covered that distance in a shorter amount of time. Like, that's supposed to impress us all. And I wanna tell them, you're not the one driving. You're not the one going that fast. You're just pushing your foot on the pedal. When you pray in tongues, it's the same thing. You're not praying in the spirit. You're just giving him the sounds. That's the gas pedal. When you do that, you start to release the sounds by faith. Holy Ghost takes over. Listen to this. 2 Corinthians chapter 9, verses 10 to 11, for God is the one, God is the one, God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. You're watching right now. You're in this place. God is going to increase your resources, not so you can go look at how rich I am. Not so you can say, look how wonderful things are going for me. God gives us resources because he can trust us and he expects that we put them into the gospel. Yes, you will be enriched in every way. So that, here's the purpose. You can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. I'll tell you who needs them. There's a cry coming out of the earth right now. There's a drug addict who needs deliverance. There's someone who's suicidal and depressed who needs to know the joy of the spirit. There's a marriage that's on the verge of divorce and they need to know restoration. There's a soul that is lost that needs to be saved. We don't give to get. We give to give because we love Jesus and we love soul. So I'm asking you tonight, I'm asking you to not stand literally. I'm asking you to stand with your backing. We should be the most financial, the most abundantly backed cause should be the gospel. I need you to go right now.

Written, produced and directed by Robert A. Arthur and David Coburn, I'm starling two of radio's foremost personalities. Leon Janney and Van Sheppard in Christmas Story. It is the mysterious traveler inviting you to join me on another journey into the realm of the strange and the terrifying. And it will thrill you a little and cheer you a little. So settle back, get a good grip on your nerves and be comfortable if you can, as we hear the tale of an enterprising young man. It's the drama I call Christmas Story. Playing Santa Claus. Yeah, you're looking at a guy who really played it to the hill. It all started last month in Seattle. I was out of a job and down to my last few bucks. I was looking through the morning paper when I noticed this small ad in the personal column. Driving to New York, November 15th. Man wanted to assist in driving. Free transportation, Paul Harris Hotel Royal. Well, I'd always wanted to see New York and this was as good as any way of getting there. So I went up to this hotel royal to see this guy, Harris. My name's Farrell, Steve Farrell. I read your ad in the morning paper.  Thank you. If you haven't already found someone to help you drive in New York, I'd like to offer my services. Well, as a matter of fact, I haven't. Can you leave for New York a day after tomorrow? Sure, anytime. Well, good. Then why not come around at nine in the morning and we'll get off to an early stack? Okay, Mr. Harris, nine it is. Okay. Steve is my Louiston, 30 miles. Louiston, that's Idaho, isn't it? Yeah, we're just crossing the state line into Idaho. This is all new to me. I was born and raised in Alaska. This is my first trip to the state. Well, you're going to see a lot of scenery between here and New York. Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Life must have been pretty rugged in Alaska. Oh, it was. My parents were homesteaded. I never saw a city until a week ago when I arrived in Seattle.  Well, my parents died last year and my grandfather, whom I've never seen, wrote asking me to come visit him. You've never seen him, though? No. No, there was some sort of squabble between my parents and my grandfather before I was born and they went to Alaska. And in all the years since then, my grandfather never wrote to them. Sounds like a stubborn guy. Yeah, he sure does. What are you going to New York for? Well, mainly to look for a job. And I've always wanted to see you, the big city. Sure, why? Do you mind taking over now, Steve? My eyes are getting tired. Glad to. Just pull over to the side of the road. It's a long way from Seattle to New York. There wasn't a radio in the car, so we just talked. And mostly we talked about Paul, his life in Alaska, his parents, his grandfather. By the time we hit Columbus, Ohio, there wasn't a thing I didn't know about the guy. And from what he told me, his grandfather was loaded. And even more, he was the old man's only relative. It was obvious the kid was walking into a fortune. Yeah, some guys had all the luck. So these are the Allegheny mugs? Yeah. You better take it easy, Paul. The road's a little slippery. Okay. How much further than New York? 250 miles. It's getting dark. You better stop for the night at the next tourist court. All right. We should be able to make New York by tomorrow afternoon. Yeah, easy. What are you going to do when we get there, Steve? Well, start hunting for a job.  I'm sure he won't mind putting you up for a few nights. Thanks, kid. But don't worry about me. I'll be all right. Steve, I don't want to lose track of you. I thought we were friends. Sure we are. As soon as I get located, I'll let you know where I am. You know, I thought this being your first visit to New York and mine, we might see the town together. You know, the Statue of Liberty? Statue of Liberty. Yeah, sure. Yeah, well, we're the same age. I'm afraid I haven't been around very much. I guess it's like you said, I'm strictly from the woods. Just one year in New York and you'll be head to everything. Your eyes bothering? Yeah, a little. You better let me take over when you get to the bottom of this mountain. Okay. You know, you want to see an eye doctor. Your eyes seem to get tired awful quick. Well, the truth of the matter is... Hey, look out, Pete. We're starting to skid. No, don't jam on the brakes. That only makes it worse. Reverse your wheel. I have. Steve, we're skidding off the road toward the mountain. Give me that wheel and do as I say. We're out of control. We're going over... In consciousness, I was lying a few feet from the car. We'd rolled 300 feet down the side of the mountain and the car was completely wrecked. I crawled to my feet and felt for broken bones. Other than a bad gash on my head and the massive bruises, I was okay. I limped the few feet to the overturned car and looked in. Paul was still behind the wheel. Even before I reached for his pulse, I had a feeling he was dead. Paul's luck had run out. He'd never see all that dough that was waiting for him in New York. Yeah, it was then that it came to me. I hadn't wished the guy dead, but now that he was, and nobody in the state knew Paul or what he looked like, and on the other hand, I knew everything about him. Well, it was a gamble, all right, but there was a fortune in the kitty. I went to work switching our clothes and all identification. Just as I finished, the state police patrol car came along the mountain road and spotted the wreck. They took me to headquarters where I made a complete statement. A couple of hours later, I grabbed the train for New York. I'm George Marlowe, your grandfather's attorney. How do you do, Mr. Marlowe? The Pennsylvania State Police informed me of the dreadful accident you had. I understand a man whose will you was killed. Yes, a fellow by the name of Steve Farrell. I met him in Seattle. He assisted me with the driving.  How is he? Weak, very weak, but eagerly waiting to see you. All right, come along. Yes, sir. How's that cash on your head? Oh, not too bad. It was treated by a doctor at the state police headquarters. You can only spend a few minutes with your grandfather, and excitement must be avoided by all means. I understand. And here we are. How is he, Joan? He's much better this afternoon. Good. Joan, this is Paul Harris. Paul Joan Dietrich, your grandfather's nurse. How do you do? Paul, is that you, Paul? Yes, sir. Come over here, where I can see you. Yes, Grandfather. You're Paul, my grandson. Yes, sir. Sit down by my bed and let me look at you. All right, Grandfather.  Must take after your father's side of the family. Yes, I do. That, that bandage, what happened, Paul? I was in an accident, but it's nothing, just a scratch. You're sure? Yes, yes, of course.  Does it matter now? The main thing is I'm here. You know, lying here for months, I've had a great deal of time to think things over. I was wrong, Paul, your mother. She had a perfect right to marry anyone she wished. It was only my stubbornness that prevented the reconciliation. Are we all making mistakes? Yes, yes, but 30 years have not seen my own flesh and blood. It's been lonely, Paul. It's all my fault. But you're not alone anymore. I'm here. Yes, yes, Paul. What, what little time I have left. We must spend together. I think that's enough for now, Mr. Marshall. Paul can come and see you later after your nap. But just a few more minutes, John. After your nap. Oh, she's a wonderful girl, Paul. But a tyrant. Come see me as soon as I move away. All right, Grandfather. Now let me fix your pillow for you. Just your being here seems to have helped him, Paul. What do the doctors say, Mr. Marlow? Week, month, several months at the outside. That bad, huh? Yes. Well, you must be tired after your trip. I had your suitcase taken to your room. Do you have any other luggage on the way? There's a small trunk coming, but he won't be here for weeks. If you need any money, just let me know. Your grandfather's placed a considerable sum at your disposal. Thanks. But I still have 2,000 left to the 5,000 he sent me. Very well, Paul. Now, if there's anything at all you want, just let me know. Yeah, I was in. There was no question that I'd passed as Paul Harris. And why not? I had all the answers, and I was playing it careful. I walked through room after room of that Fifth Avenue mansion, knowing that within a matter of months, it would be mine. In the weeks that followed, not a day passed, and I didn't spend a few hours with the old man. He liked me, I could see that. And the funny thing is, I liked him too. During our little chats, there were times I felt I was his grandson. And sitting in at these little sessions, not saying much, just watching with those gray eyes of hers was Joan Dietrich. She was one lovely dish. And I could feel things building between us. Whenever she got an evening off, we went out together. Having a good time? Wonderful. I love dancing. Why, Mr. Harris, what are we doing out here on the terrace? The music's in there. Too many people in there. You know, if you don't make a pass at me soon, I'm going to get discouraged. I was in this short acquaintance, three weeks. What's the time got to do with it? The day I walked into my grandfather's room, first saw you. You knew this moment would come. You were the same way they were. So I was flying. Love me? You know I do. Am I the tears? Oh, I do love you. And I want to believe in you, but I'm so confused. So confused. About what? Come on. I want to hear. Are you really Paul Harris? What makes you ask that? In your talks with Mr. Marshall, several things you said seem strange. Such am? Your grandfather spoke of a restaurant in San Francisco, and you said you knew it. Yet if you are Paul Harris, how could you not? Paul Harris has never been to San Francisco. I might have taken in San Francisco on the way to New York, you know. What else bothered you? You mentioned the television show you'd seen six months ago. There is no television in Alaska. If you're Paul Harris, how could you have seen it? People up in Alaska see kinescopes of television shows, baby. They're shown like movies. Darling, just tell me I'm wrong. That's all I wanted to hear. I wish I could tell you I'm Paul Harris. But I'm not. You're not? No. The name is Farrell. Steve Farrell. Steve Farrell? Wasn't that the fellow that was killed in the vet? It was Paul Harris who was killed. You changed identity. Yes. How could you? How could you? I was tired of being broke, of going from one lousy job to another. I saw a chance to grab a fortune and took it. What are you going to do? I should go to the police. I can't. Mr. Marshall thinks you're his grandson. He's extremely fond of you. If the truth were to come out, it would kill him. Is that the only reason you can't go to the police? Oh, Steve, what are we going to do? Nothing. Nothing? That's right. I'm going on being Paul Harris until the old man dies. Then I'm taking the estate. Steve, you can't. Why not? While the old man's alive, I'm making him happy. If I get his estate when he dies, who loses by it? It isn't as though he has other relatives. Why shouldn't I get it? No, it's wrong, Steve. It's wrong. It's wrong only if you're caught, baby. Only if you're caught. You're going up here on the roof. Just getting a little fresh air while Mr. Marshall sleeps. How is he? He can't last more than a few days. Who are you crying for? The old man or me? Well, I thought you... Oh, Steve, ever since the other night when you told me I haven't been able to think of anything else. It's wrong, Steve. It's so wrong. Who am I hurting if I get the estate? I deserve it if anyone does. At least I'm making the old man happy in his last hours. What if you're caught? Do you realize I'd send you to prison? That's the chances you take, baby. Besides, who's going to get wise to me?  Just one little slip, Steve, and he'll be on to you. Marlowe's a sharp citizen, all right. But I don't intend to make that one slip. Someone's coming up under the roof. Hello, you two. Thought I'd find you up here. Hello. How are you, Mr. Marlowe? Right well, thank you. I'll stand there, Mr. Marshall's asleep. Yes, I let Mrs. Walker to look after him. You should be waking up soon. Maybe we better go down. My grandfather asked... Oh! What's the matter? Something in your eye, Paul? Yes, it's a cinder. Left eye, huh? Yes. Stop rubbing it. Put your handkerchief over it. That's it. Things like the bell. Go on over and sit on the chair. And I'll try to take it out for you. You want me to assist you to the chair? No, no, I can still walk.  That's it. Put your handkerchief away. Oh, I see it. Hold still. There, I got it. Thanks, John. I think we better go down now. Yeah, okay. You coming, Mr. Marlowe? What? Oh, yes, yes. I'm coming. Mrs. Walker said that Mr. Marshall was asleep and she looked in on him a few minutes ago. Seems she's still sleeping. Perhaps we better leave and wait until he wakens. No, no, no. I'm going to wake him. It's time for his medicine. Mr. Marshall. Mr. Marshall. Time for your medicine. Mr. Marshall. What is it, John? There's no pulse. Are you sure? Yes. He's dead. At least the end came peacefully. He died in his sleep. John took the old man's death hard and I felt pretty upset myself. Even with all that door waiting. As for Marlowe, he was his usual efficient self looking after all the details of the funeral. Maybe it was the tension I was under, but Marlowe seemed to change to me. He wasn't quite so friendly. And sometimes I turned to find him watching me, giving me the cold eye. I couldn't be sure whether it was my imagination or not. After we got back from the funeral, I was in my room when there was a knock on the door. Come in. Oh, hello, John. Come in. Mr. Marlowe is downstairs in the library. He wants to see you. Close the door. Anything wrong? Twenty. Whose trunk is that you're going through? Paul's. He arrived this morning while we were at the funeral. Steve, what's wrong? I've just been going through some of Paul's personal papers. I knew, of course, that he was 4F in the draft, but I never knew why. What are you trying to tell me? Paul was 4F in the draft because he was blind in the right eye. Blind in the right eye? Right eye. Yes. That's why I've been getting the cold shoulder for Marlowe these past three days, ever since the afternoon we were on the roof. I don't understand. Somehow Marlowe knew that Paul was blind in the right eye, and when I got that cinder in my left eye, I covered it with my handkerchief. You told me to walk across the roof of the chair, sit down. Oh, yes, I remember. At that point, Marlowe offered to lead me to the chair. Knowing you were blind in the right eye and had your left eye covered with a handkerchief? Yes. When I walked over to the chair without hesitation, that must have started him thinking. Oh, Steve. Now, don't get panicky, baby. Marlowe can't be sure he's right. At the moment, he's just suspicious. But if he really investigates you...  Stop him from doing any checking. But how? I don't know yet. Look, Marlowe, he's waiting for us in the library. I do have kept you waiting, Mr. Marlowe. That's quite all right. If you'll excuse me, I'll go. No, John, don't go. No reason why you shouldn't hear what I have to say. Tomorrow, Christmas Day, I'll officially read Mr. Marshall's will. However, I don't think I'm violating a trust in telling you the contents of the will. Two weeks ago, Mr. Marshall had me draw up a new will, leaving his entire state to you, Paul. I see. He was quite taken by you and felt that you were a credit to his name. Why are you crying, John? Nothing. As administrator of Mr. Marshall's will, it is my duty to see to it that the heirs, or heir, receive their just inheritances. This duty I shall fulfill. I understand. I am responsible under law for the awarding of the huge estate left by Mr. Marshall. I shall have to... Is it your eye troubling you? You've been doing nothing but rubbing it since you came into this room. Sorry, Mr. Marlowe. As you know, I'm blind in my right eye, and now in my left eye I feel quite strained, particularly at a time like this. My grandfather's death, the funeral. I understand it. Right. Yes. Yes, of course. You were saying? What? Oh, well, it's not important at the moment. I'll be here tomorrow at three for the reading of the will. I'll see to it that all the servants are here. Very well. Good night, Joan. Paul. Good night, Mr. Marlowe. Good night. Steve. He's confused. That business of the eye, he doesn't know what to think now. Yeah, I stopped him for the moment. But only for a moment. Hard to tell. But I've got to do something once and for all to convince him. I'm Paul Harris. Now, I didn't get to sleep that night.  Maybe that business of rubbing my eyes had satisfied him. But I had to make sure. It was a difference between being handed a fortune and a prison sentence. This afternoon at three o'clock, the servants, Joan, Marlowe, and myself gathered in the library. The whole thing was over in an hour. The servants all congratulated me and left the library, leaving only the three of us there. I should like to offer a toast to Mr. Marshall's memory. If you'll permit me. Of course. This was his favorite cherry. Joan. Thank you. Paul, thanks. Here's to Peter Marshall, a man who lived honorably, died honorably. May his air be worthy of him. As the three of us raised our glasses to our lips and drank, I could see Marlowe watching me over the brim of his glass with those cold blue eyes of his. We set down our glasses and I turned to give Joan a cigarette. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Marlowe pick up one of the three wine glasses.  He held it casually, almost as if he didn't know he was holding it. In that moment, I was going nuts, trying to guess whether he was satisfied that I was Paul Harris or he was still suspicious and going after me. My fingerprints were on that glass and the army had a copy of those prints in Washington. This was it. Either I play mites and go for the fortune or throw in my hand. Suddenly, I felt Joan's hand in mine. And say, Mr. Marlowe. Yes.  I drew it up only two weeks ago. What was the old will like? Well, under the old will, your grandfather's estate went to charity. I thought as much. Mr. Marlowe, Joan and I have been talking things over. I don't want the estate. I want it all to go to charity, as originally intended. Teeny, I seem to drop my glass. You realize, of course, what you would be giving up. I never really had it, Mr. Marlowe. So I hardly think I'll miss it. Joan and I will get along, won't we, baby? Oh, yes. Well, Paul, is that your considered decision? It is. It's a gesture worthy of Peter Marshall's grandson. Yes, and that little gesture did it. Any guy who gives up a two million dollar estate can hardly be called an imposter, can he? No, sir. It's Christmas, and I've just played Santa Claus to the tune of two million bucks. The thing I keep wondering about is what would have happened if I hadn't given up the estate? Would Marlowe have gone after me? Or was he satisfied that I was, Paul Harris? Yes, sir. That little puzzle is going to give me plenty of thought for a long time to come. Here is the travel again. Did you enjoy our trip? Or what happened to Paul Harris? Or rather, I should say, Steve Fallow? He and John were married, and the poor fellow is now working at an honest living. Yes, sometimes he thinks of the two million dollar estate he gave up, but then with taxes, what they are, what could he have kept in any case? Only a fortune. Which reminds me of a story in which another enterprising young man allowed himself to be killed because of acquiring wood. Oh, you have to get off here. I'm sorry. But allow me to wish you a merry Christmas before you go. And remember, I take this same train every week at the same time. You have just heard the Mysterious Traveller. Now you can enjoy other tense and exciting tales of the Mysterious Traveller in the current issue of the Mysterious Traveller magazine now available. We'll lay on Janney and Shepard and Lawson Survey with Maurice Tarplin starting the title role. Music under the direction of Emerson Buckley, composed by Richard DuPage. The Mysterious Traveller is written, produced and directed by Robert A. Arthur and David Cogan.

Agent Nation, I'm Sora, my name is Agent Beemstar and let's get Roy into the news. Ayo, whole lot of juicy drama to get into, Ayo, most times it's the community that starts the drama. This time it's 2K that made it in the news themselves. Ladies and gentlemen, my whole body's Sora Courtney's A&P bangers but if you guys are new to the channel be sure to subscribe of course, of course, of course, look at the number, run let's go! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Gast, let's get straight into the news. After I congratulate myself and thank you guys drastically for helping me reach 100,000 on the second channel, that was fast. Link is in the description. For our first story of the day is not really a story and is an apology from Agent Beemstar for missing it on the last 2K drama alert. It was just a funny thing I wanted to show you guys, I didn't include in the last one.  This was in reference to that players tournament that they had about a month ago. Ronnie 2K replied with the you blew it gif, you blew it Treyoung, which prompted Treyoung to reply, nah, technically you did with the little shrug emoji. Guys, that is just good quality drama right there. I apologize for missing it last time, I had to get to it. You see what I'm saying? For the next story of the day, ladies and gentlemen, NBA 2K21 has been on the hush, hush, hush, they're not anywhere near talking about it, right? But we have been seeing a little itty-bitty, and we've seen a little bit of that here on Twitter today, a user by the name of MapNoah uploaded this video, oh, actually I guess it's a TikTok user, but it's, well, let's just play it, roll the clip. Well, let's mute it, right, because it's copyrighted music. Well, let me just scroll through this real quick to show you guys what's going on. It's a dude on the set NBA 2K21 doing some mocap, trying to get some new animations. This is what the studio looks like, I assume, for dribble moves and stuff like that. You scroll through and something interesting happens, ladies and gentlemen. You see Zion Williamson right over there, which means we're probably going to get some incredible new dunking animations. Look, look how happy he looks, look how happy they both look. Zion knows that a couple of the dunks he does today are going to make it into the game. He's ecstatic about that. He's not that tall, he's an NBA player. And to bridge from that story, a user on Twitter by the name of Jack Bill sent a tweet to LD2K asking, LD2K, is NBA 2K21 going to be delayed or will it be out for the current consoles in Q3, quarter three? Well, that's a very good question. Because as we're going to get to later in this 2K drama alert, yes, I fully expect plenty of games to get canceled and some already did. Well, LD2K actually replied to that saying, no official details have been announced. Stay tuned to NBA 2K for official announcements. Now, I'm not going to read into the response that much because he really just said nothing. But I'm not 100% certain something's going to drop neither. Now, I want to say that because I'm just guessing. I'm just speculating for the sake of speculating. An agent beam star doesn't deal in speculation. I deal in facts, ladies and gentlemen. And LD2K, have you sent this 360 GIF right here? No idea why. For our next story of the day. Ladies and gentlemen, NBA 2K, well, 2K specifically, is just dropping all kinds of announcements recently.  Now, they're telling us this. Roll it. Well, it's just a tweet, so I'm going to be here reading it to you guys. Hope you don't mind. It's not actually a video. It's me again. Well, I guess this is a video for you guys, huh? 2K announces a brand new WWE game called WWE 2K Battlegrounds. An arcade style brawler from Saber Interactive. Now, let me give you guys the juicy, juicy gems. Two, three years ago, NBA 2K bought NBA Playgrounds. And they renamed it NBA 2K Playgrounds. They launched the next title as NBA 2K Playgrounds 2. That's coming after the success of the original NBA Playgrounds. So when NBA Playgrounds came out and it sold hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands, probably millions at this point, of copies. 2K was like, hey, that's our ballpark. Let's take control. So they did. They took control of basketball. And NBA Live is somewhere in the distance being miserable. So then 2K is like, huh, we like this arcade thing. Let's mess with NFL. They came out with the arcade competitor they're about to call NFL 2K. Now, you might be wondering why I'm saying all that, because this is truly an arcade style brawler. It's not like WWE games you knew growing up playing those games. This is very different. There's literally a trailer. Did I not add the trailer in here?  I apologize. Well, it's probably copyrighted music, so I'm only going to play that. We'll eat. I'm going to have to ask you to mute that, my guy. But is it like a WWE game, you know? Nope. But are those games any good anyway? No. The last one I played was like WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 06. Everybody played that game. To those of you who are more interested in the future of WWE 2K than the new brawl game, apparently the WWE 2K19 servers will stay up, though for how long isn't stated. And they promise to put more time into developing the main game in the franchise. So here's hoping. Well, so if we look carefully here, he says they promise to put more time into developing the next meme. So it doesn't seem as though they're abandoning the original WWE game concept. It just seems that they're going to spread their focus to also include arcade style, the way they did in the NBA genre, the way they're trying to do in the NFL genre. Troy Dan put out a tweet saying, WWE 2K20 canceled. Damn, this might be a good sign, though. This year's game was awful. For the next story of the day, shots were fired. Ladies and gentlemen, it started with Flight Reacts. Flight Reacts here on Twitter today said this. 2K might as well put a Flight Reacts 100 overall point guard to center. Opal card shrug emoji. LD2K responded saying, would be cool, but that negative three ankle durability rating would be tough. Guys, this is why I love the 2K community. In any other community, that would not have been a story. People would have just got along. But in this community, we take shots. Like friendly shots, though. Friendly banter, or sometimes malicious and very snide, but in fun, though. Or for entertainment. For the next story of the day, Ticino has been scammed. One of the heroes in the NBA 2K community, Ticino, put on a wager. Well, actually, I'm gonna let him explain it to you. He said this. The lockdown post-score lineup, we just came back from 1-3 to win. For 1,000 just charged back all the money they sent. They officially scammers now. Hurt that bad, huh? Ended your career and bought to make thousands from you on YouTube. Goodbye. And he added them, Snags and CJ. Hank, the tank responded to that tweet saying, they run a post-lock lineup. Of course, they're scammers. AMP Duke responded, LMAO, people be broke for real wager and money they don't really have with a whole gang of crying laughing emojis. Suwante responded, crying laughing emoji, can't trust people that run post-locks. So the guy that was involved in the scam put out this note here, he said. So, here's where we're at. Snags charged back, I'm trying to contact him and he blocked me on InstaSnap Twitter, my phone number. Trust me, our relationship isn't clean, we've had our fights. But he's never ever done something like this. To get the story straight, Snags pays for every wager and gets 95% of the cut. I don't have that sort of money to throw around on the game, but Snags does. I've tried talking to Ticino, he doesn't want to listen and I don't blame him. Have any questions, my DMs are open, but we'll take a bit since it's everywhere right now. Wait, bro, you get 5% of the cut for what? You're not putting up money. So the Snags character put out a tweet and this is what he said. Goodbye everyone was a good run in the community, but I'm gonna have to say goodbye to you all. You won't be seeing me anymore. Cheers everyone for making a great wallet lasted.  Hey, I can't believe you actually made an announcement that he was gonna leave and then thanked a whole bunch of people after scamming.  And yo, for real, if you guys are getting in wages, just send the money to a third party, like somebody in the middle. And then that person's gonna send the money to whoever wins. So that way there's no dispute like this. You just have somebody in the middle for our next story of the day. My God, it's another big one. 2K has not done dropping news, ladies and gentlemen, because they dropped another bit of gemming and betting on us today because they announced another game.  This, well, there's a video, so I'm just gonna let it play. Yeah, I can't play the music in this one either. Well, why don't you look at that, ladies and gentlemen? Well, why don't you look at that? NBA 2K is also coming out with a golf game. Now, it's my understanding, if I had to guess, cuz I actually didn't do any research here, that they probably just bought this game, the golf club 2019. But they definitely bought a game. They're not coming out with a golf game off the scratch. So 2K is just acquiring all kinds of different games and then just titling them WWE 2K or PGA Tour 2K or NBA 2K Playgrounds. Wow, wow, I guess they're trying to continue their push to dominate all of the sports titles. So yeah, I don't know how much of you guys play golf games. I played like PGA Tour 99 or something like that growing up. And then I stopped after that. But there you go, ladies and gentlemen, if you care about that, there's that. For the next story of the day, there's been some drama in the community, ladies and gentlemen, it all started by a name of the person that goes by the name Chalk. Chalk, of course, is the first legend in NBA 2K20 and he's bowed up since the beginning of the game. He used to be in a clan with the DF guys and he left recently. We talked about that.  Cuz there was a lot of people taking shots back and forth at one another. Chalk started a clan, but the clan was, he said it was different because anybody could join. So there's no, like, exclusivity. So if you wanted to be a part of it, you could be a part of it. Which is a different approach. I like the creativity. On Twitter, he said this, I wanna change the game. Why grind for a clan when you can grind in a clan? I wanna give people an opportunity that in any other situation, they'd never have.  Being exclusive is an illusion created to keep some people popular. I guess in some people's eyes, it's only a clan if we never let you in. So I guess they just began adding hundreds and hundreds, probably thousands. I don't know at this point of people to the clan because there's no limit and people wanted to join. So anybody that joins is technically a member of the clan, but there's also leaders of the clan. See what I'm saying? So it's like, I don't, power put out a tweet saying, power put out a tweet saying, somebody asked me if I'm mad about AE. Hell yeah, I'm mad. I've been a random, I've started from zero subs and I always like to see people help. But when I see such an obvious attempt to use and exploit people that don't even know better, you should all be ashamed. It's disgusting. For the people skeptical of clans, I understand that most clans are just group chats and they don't really do anything. But if you doubt DF, don't listen to what we say. Watch what we do. We are about to have seven members with 100K. Watch how our members improve and get bigger and better. If you join a clan and they can't even announce you on their clan page, you're not in the clan, bro. They just want you to advertise them. So that's one of the main criticisms people have with Chuck. They said that he was just using people to advertise himself because he didn't even, there's no way you could reasonably know hundreds of people or thousands of people if you're just inviting everybody to the clan. And Chuck was arguing, a lot of people never get an opportunity like this. So they're gonna get a chance to meet people, to grind with people, etc. So there's obvious benefits in it for the people that join. But that didn't stop people from the 2K community for taking shots. Cuz of course, that's what we do around here.  Badge plug responded, I knew this tweet was coming. And Badge plug, you're right, we all did. It's not a 2K drama alert as Nade shot has something to say, man. If I was in a competition with any 2K clan, I'd have kept this exclusive. This clan is bigger than 2K. And it's the reason everyone can't stop trying to drag us down. We're the fastest growing clan, largest clan in the history, history of 2K. And it's only been 10 days, only the beginning. This is what happens when you pretend to care about people to gain cloud followers and you realize it's not working and you actually have to make good content. Bandit responded, wait till launch though, gonna change the game with a whole gang of crying, laughing emojis. Well to simplify what happened, a bunch of the leaders of the clan that shock crated left. And it was only like a week into the thing and people were already getting restless about the situation. It's like being in a classroom, I guess with thousands of people. Yes, plenty of people that might not have got the opportunity to learn are here now. But nobody's actually getting like, you know, they try and get the classroom size down so the teachers can focus on the students. There's no focus, you can't get to no hundreds of people or thousands of people. So all the intentions were pure. I guess some people were unhappy with the process. Nate decided to take some more shots, he said this on Twitter. Why does Chalk think his clan is the fastest growing in the community? Does he even realize anyone could have done what he did to gain followers? Shit, I could have made TNB a community clan and grew a lot. DF can do the same, crying, laughing emoji. So I kind of simplified it, but I missed out a lot of points because there's no way for me to talk about that story without it being a 40 minute story. That's how much tweets that have been going back and forth. But hey, I'll say this, Chalk, I'm happy you're actually trying to do some outside the box, whether or not it's gonna be successful, I don't know.  Plus my guy precise is involved. I think, I'm assuming he's still in there. For the story of the day, ladies and gentlemen, it's not a 2K drama alert, it's not a month in the NBA 2K community. Unless there's some glitch or bug that threatens to ruin the existence of the game.  ShakenBake put out a tweet saying, Honestly, if I were you, I wouldn't even touch my team unlimited for the foreseeable future until this gets some sort of patch or fix. Sucks that this is the only real solution currently now. So it was a glitch basically that it would make you wait forever to play the game tight. And so it's kind of like lag switching back in the day. If someone's gonna lag switch me, I also had a lag switch. So I would only do it defensively if you thought you could beat me cheating. I'm gonna cheat with you. I'm gonna cheat with you.  We can see who could cheat better. So there was a whole bunch of people that saw the glitch and that used the glitch defensively so that they could actually play the game. And those people was getting banned too. Somebody responded to shake saying hate it for people that got banned for defensive. But actually sounds like a proper time to go 12.0 since all the glitches banned. Nope, people are still doing it. Trust me, I've seen tweets of people saying there's people still doing it right now.  Shakenbake says, for those asking, I don't think these bans are permanent for the rest of NBA 2K20.  Somebody clarified and I have no way to verify this saying, 2K support told me it's a seven day soft ban. That's what I'm hearing as well. These, for the most part, are not full year bans. Trying to get reversals though on ones that weren't deserving. Anyway, so that's the story. If you guys play my team, I'm sure that you went through it.  Me personally, don't care. Yeah, I mean, I'm one of the people that doesn't care. I couldn't care less. But it's kind of interesting because usually it's the park community that has to deal with like an invisible glitch or some kind of glitch that gives people animations that ruins the game. This time it's the my team community getting their dose. And my team is a brutal game to play. So to play it with glitchers makes it even more brutal. Let me stop.  I'm not better than you guys. Agent B, I'm not better than my team players and I'm like that, let me cut out, bro.  Hey, ladies and gentlemen, that's it for the stories today. If you guys enjoyed, drop a like. If you're new, subscribe to the channel. We cover all the news. Some videos on the screen, man. Click them if you're bored. I'm gonna catch you guys in the next one. I'm out, peace.


What I love about Lori is that she is who she is. She is comfortable in her own skin. She is a soft place to land when I come home and she has always been supportive and loving and I love you. What I love most about Courtney Phelps is her creativity and her ingenuity. She's a remarkable woman and my life has been better because of her. What I love about my husband Andy is the same thing that I loved about him when I agreed to marry him. It was that I knew we could get through anything together including multiple appointments, multiple kids, multiple degrees. I love Andy! What I love about Rachel is her dedication and love for her family and for our kids. And that she is passionate and bold about what she believes in and wants to make this world a better place. There's a lot that I love about my spouse, Leanne Johnston. There's really nothing that she can't do, I found, but also she has supported every wild move that we've made in ministry. Including our latest, starting a brand new church. I really couldn't do any of this without her. What I love about my spouse is that he is absolutely cute. Absolutely cute. And it's very supportive, so faithful. And I just want to be here without him for his support. It's great. What I love about Melissa is she has always found a way to make everywhere we've served home and to make it a home church for our kids and for our family. She's also found her way to serve everywhere that we have been. Melissa, I love you and happy Valentine's Day. I met my husband, Jeff Murphy, at the pew of a church when we were at college in Granville, Ohio. Little did I realize on that day that he was one of the angels that was going to accompany me to fulfill a call that had been put on my heart when I was 14 years old. Jeff Murphy stood beside me and has gone from appointment to appointment with me. And as I leave every church, they're like, well, Cheryl, we're sorry to see you leave. You know, pastors come, pastors go, praise God. But can Jeff Murphy stay here? Can he remain with us? I can't imagine my ministry without him. He's been beside me all the way and I absolutely adore him and I'm grateful for him. We're working on number 41 and I'm thrilled to have him beside me each and every day. What I love about Brea is she's one of the most generous people I know. She's always willing to help everyone that she meets, no matter how well she knows them. She's always willing to be supportive in ministry. She allows me to do all the things that I feel called to do without telling me no. So I'm grateful to her for that. What I love most about my wife Maria Dixon-Hull is that she is amazingly compassionate, kind, patient, understanding, and loving person. She's a brilliant mom to our kids, an exciting scholar, an inspiring leader, and a brilliant Christian. She shows me every day the way of grace. What I love about Kelly is his desire to be a partner in ministry with me and I especially love the way he chauffeurs as we drive around the beautiful East District. What I appreciate about my spouse is his very generous heart and the fact that he understands my job. I appreciate my wife because she's been coughing in the morning without having to get up. And she's there for me when I've got tough times. That's the majority of the marriage. We're there together for each other. Eli is the person who makes me a better person each and every day. She inspires me to be the best version of myself. She's thoughtful and kind and most importantly, she loves our children. She loves me and she loves others in such unconditional ways. And that allows me to be the best version of myself and the best minister to my people. I am very grateful and I love her dearly. Sundray. What I love about Sundray is, first of all, to me, she's a gorgeous person. I love her strong will, her willpower and how she makes our home a loving home. I love my husband because he is like Jesus to me. They talk to me about unconditional love and he is so kind and supportive and kind and generous. He's a wonderful husband. What I love about my wife, Evelyn, is that she's so kind and generous and she always starts this big smile that makes people feel good about themselves. What I appreciate about my husband, Patrick Hoffman, is his sense of justice and compassion and his loyalty and how he makes me London sauce every morning. There are so many things that I love and appreciate about Jen but the thing that's coming to mind right now is the fact that she can walk into a room and her smile just lights up the entire place. What I love about Tammy is that she's strong and she's confident and she's nearly always right.   What I love about my Reggie is that he is the greatest encouragement. He believes me when I don't believe in myself and he has shown me true love and he also picked up my outfit. Hey, I love him. Love you, babe. I love Kyler because I carry a 40-ounce Stanley and I don't like stale water and every single time I ask for new ice and new water, sweet Kyler refills it for me. What a gift. What I love about my wife Liliana is that she is very generous with her friends, with her family, with me and also very caring. I just love my wife Sylvia Wang. I just love the way she looks up to me that she's just been a perfect partner for marriage and ministry as a clergy couple. So I just think she's fantastic. Unfortunately, she will not get her seafood Alfredo on Valentine's Day because I have an Ash Wednesday service at the top. What I love about his service is the best future wife that ever was. I love my wife and she's the wonderful gift that God has given me and my partner in ministry and I thank God for that. What I love about Andrew is that he always worries about the worst case scenario so the rest of us can just have fun and he's a great dad to our girls. My wife's name is Sochil which is an Aztec name for flower and I'm Owen, so Sochil, Owen, XO, Valentine's, XO. And what I am so thankful for with my wife is she is willing to get up on Sundays and travel anywhere to visit any church and help load up our two boys. And so she has been in more churches in the United Methodist, the North Texas Conference than any pastor besides me. And I'm so thankful that she just helps make my work just a blessing in my Sundays even more blessed. What I love about Chris is just the way that he's got endless energy that comes my way in the form of unconditional support. When I've had a bad day, he's there, when I need a cheerleader, he's there. He's my partner in every way. It's a blessing. What I love about Robbie is that he is fun and funny and supportive and I love being with him, my favorite person. I love Nikki because one, she laughs at my jokes but most importantly, she's a great partner in life and in ministry and I could imagine doing it without her. Hi, Maya. Happy Valentine's Day. This is our 42nd. Valentine's is a married couple and 45 in total since we've known each other so I love you and I just want to let you know how much I appreciate all of your support, your prayers and your companionship over all of these years. And remember, I've got you, babe.


Hey guys, RealisticGame here. Welcome back to another Roblox video. Before we start this video, well, we are going to make a Roblox granny account. But I had recorded this, but I have to record it over again because my audio didn't work. So I already have the granny stuff, like the outfit, so let's just go to the cat allowing me to my avatar and put on the outfit. And you guys can see my best replica of granny.
