Hey guys, how you doing? I'm your host, the most important rich from rich TV live and wow Crazy week this week guys. It's been a very very very rocky road this week and we're going to talk about why Why are stocks falling? Why is bitcoin falling? And what is the reason? You know, I've been in the markets for 17 years. I've been in crypto for seven years and people are always trying to Tell me to buy this and buy that and then when I ask them why They just say because it's hot and I'm like that doesn't work for me I want to know why I should buy the stock like do they have revenue growth Are they profitable? Do they have assets on the balance sheet? What is the catalyst? Oh, it's just hot buy it because it's hot That's not good enough for me You know, I'm not buying something just because it's up And there's a lot of people in this market right now that are doing exactly that They're just buying stuff because it's up To me, that's mental. Okay, so I'm going to show you guys What's going on in the market? We're going to break it down I'm going to explain to you why I believe the market's going down in stocks and cryptocurrencies I'm going to explain to you why I don't think there's any reason to worry But I'm also going to talk about some of the things that do make me worry as an investor because I think You need to look at everything as an investor. You need to understand Everything with the companies that you're investing in so that you can have success in the market I don't think being successful in the market has anything to do with luck. Okay You can get lucky once in a while. You can also get unlucky once in a while in the market But I believe in order to be successful in the market You need to have a plan you need to stick to your plan and you need to really understand everything that you're investing in So if I'm going to invest in a stock, I want to know how many shares do they have I want to know who's the management team I want to know how much debt do they have on their balance sheet? How much equity do they have in their balance sheet? Are they profitable? Are they making money or losing money every quarter? These are extremely important things for me But I see a lot of people and I'm in all these group chats and I see all these people Oh, this stock's hot today. I got it. This stock's hot today. I got it But why are they hot? And then you read the news. There's no news To me that's sketchy for me. That's way too risky So what I want to do here at rich tv is I want to educate people to become great investors That understand the markets to understand why things are going up. Why things are going down And how can you take advantage of opportunities that exist in the marketplace?

I'll do my best to look at your picks as well Now we are streaming on multiple platforms everywhere Hello everyone wherever you are. I want to say hello. This is rich from rich tv live And we're going to break down all the biggest trending news of the day and I'm going to start with this right here And we will be looking at the markets, but I want to explain to you what is going on All right. So first and foremost Why is bitcoin going down? Okay. There's a lot of reasons why something goes down So bitcoin was going up because a lot of people were getting excited because bitcoin ETFs bitcoin spot ETFs were filing for approval with the securities and exchange commission When six different bitcoin spot ETFs were filing for approval With the securities and exchange commission. That was a huge boom in the bitcoin price however Just this week the sec the securities and exchange commission decided to delay All of the bitcoin ETF spot approvals until early 2024 So that big catalyst they'll get everybody excited to buy bitcoin Because they thought that maybe a bitcoin spot ETF would start getting approved in the second half of 2023 All that momentum is gone because the sec has now decided to delay the approvals until early 2024 So that brings all the excitement back in 2024 So if you had been investing in bitcoin Thinking that you'd make money in the second half of 2023 Now you're probably thinking well nothing's really going to happen now until 2024 So a lot of those investors are selling A lot of those people that bought for the the up on the bitcoin spot ETF approval Are now selling because they're realizing they got to put their money into something else because that momentum that Boom in the bitcoin market is no longer going to happen now until 2024 Which is still over four months away And that's what a lot of investors do. They're just chasing momentum. They're just chasing moves in the market. They're just literally hunting momentum So this is the reason why I believe bitcoin is not doing well right now. There's other reasons as well And I'm going to show you why But this is the biggest reason why I believe bitcoin is dropping because this is the biggest reason why bitcoin busted higher was because of all the bitcoin spot ETFs Looking to get approval by the sec and the first and biggest one was black rock and when black rock announced that they were filing for a bitcoin spot ETF Everybody jumped into bitcoin because black rock is the largest Institutional holder of assets in the world with over 10 trillion dollars in assets So obviously if they get approval, which it looks like they will in 2024 With the securities and exchange commission to have a bitcoin spot ETF that could signal millions of dollars flowing into bitcoin That is a massive catalyst for bitcoin. But because the sec is decided to delay this approval On six different bitcoin spot ETFs until early 2024 now I believe that don't that all of that momentum will happen in 2024 and in 2024 We have so many catalysts. We have six bitcoin spot ETFs looking to get approval And we have the bitcoin having event happening in March Those are massive catalysts for bitcoin all of which are now moving into 2024 Which I believe is now going to be a massive Massive year for bitcoin. And of course, I am a holder of bitcoin full disclosure. I'm a holder of bitcoin I'm not telling you guys to go and buy bitcoin. Okay. That's not why I'm doing this I'm just explaining to you guys what is happening in bitcoin and why And hopefully you guys can understand what's going on in the market and make good investing decisions That's why I'm here. I'm not here to tell you to own bitcoin. Yes full disclosure. I do own bitcoin I do own a theory. Okay, but I'm not telling you to go and buy bitcoin. That's not what I'm doing I'm trying to explain to you what's going on in the market so that you can make a good investing decision And you can have you can have success in the market Now there's another reason why bitcoin is actually going down and I'm going to show you why So one of the most influential people in the world if not the most influential person in the world today is Elon Musk Elon Musk owns another company called SpaceX SpaceX actually held 373 million dollars worth of bitcoin which they acquired in 2021 and 2022 Now the rumor is that SpaceX has sold their bitcoin So if this is true, then this is another reason why the price of bitcoin is going lower anytime you have The most influential or the richest man in the world in Elon Musk and he comes out and says Or there's rumors that are coming out and saying that SpaceX has sold all 373 million dollars of their bitcoin That's gonna could that's going to put a huge amount of selling pressure on bitcoin Not just because they're selling 373 million dollars of bitcoin, but also because of the fact that elan musk who's very Influential in the world of investing When he says he's going to sell any of his bitcoin that puts downward pressure on the price of bitcoin Now we're gonna look at the price of bitcoin You can see what's going on, but it is clearly dropping and it's dropping fast and literally right now But before I do that Okay, you know what? Let's just look at the price of bitcoin because it's it's crashing All right, it's crashing right now. So let's just look at it right here and right now So let's take a look at the price of bitcoin. Here we go All right, I'm gonna take a look at the price of bitcoins literally crashing right now as we speak Here we go. So bitcoin is at 25 721 You can see that bitcoin started its move up at around a similar price when the first of all the bitcoin spot ETFs With black rock was announced They made this huge move up and now Once the sec is decided they want to delay the approval of all these bitcoin spot ETFs until early 2024 That is dragged the entire market down and you can see the mac d on our Fibonacci here gave us the signal to sell bitcoin And bitcoin has been dropping Very very aggressively. So this is not a good thing for bitcoin clearly. It's not good that it's going down this fast It's not good that it's going down this aggressively. It's not nice when bitcoin drops like this It's not something when you're a holder of bitcoin that you like to see But the one thing that I must remind everyone is bitcoin started 2023 at 16 000 So even at 25 000 the price of bitcoin is up around 50 to 60 percent this year So it's still up a lot this year. So it's not like it's down. It's up a lot So this pullback is probably a very normal natural thing The same thing is happening in the stock market. The stock market has been going up all year And when the stock market got to a point where it started to get very heavily overbought I was signaling a sell. I was signaling that the market was too overbought I was telling everybody that i'm not buying anything at these prices Everything is way too high and the market has to come back and that's exactly what's happening We've had a literally a boom in the market all year and it happened until july Now all of a sudden august hit it's summertime people are on vacation People are seeing that the market is struggling. They're selling Credit card debt and consumer debt is at all-time highs people are Maxing up maxing their credit cards. They don't want to necessarily sell their homes So what are they going to do? They're going to sell their stocks. They're going to sell their crypto because it's easily accessible money That they can get access to within just a couple days This is what people are doing. People are selling their stocks. They're selling their crypto. Why stocks are up cryptos are up So it's natural that investors are going to take some profits That's what's happening in my opinion. That's what's happening now What's going on in the overall markets? The markets have been really high. The Dow Jones has been up all year The Nasdaq's been up all year the s&p 500 has been up all year So we had to assume that there was going to be something that was going to change at some point and There's this news that just came out in the world of china Evergrande files for bankruptcy in the united states fueling worries about china property crisis China has been struggling ever grand is The largest real estate business in china and they're filing for bankruptcy That's not a good thing that affects the entire global economy And when china one of the fastest growing countries in the world starts to slow down in its growth That affects the entire world. So this is one of the reasons why we are seeing that the overall markets are starting to lose strength And in reality, I don't feel like the markets deserve to be this strong Why would the markets deserve to be this strong? What would be the reason for the markets to deserve to be this strong the answer is nothing There is no reason why the markets deserve to be this strong.  Why because they can't afford to drive because gas prices are too high They don't want to leave their houses because they don't want to spend any money And they're learning how to work from home Things are changing the world is changing. So as an investor you need to understand the overall picture And i'm not the guy that's just going to jump into a stock just because it's up 50% today I'm not going to jump into a crypto just because it's up 50% today and don't get me wrong A lot of people do that and some people have success doing that Amen all the power to you I wish you all the best of luck if that's how you want to invest But here at rich tv we want to be more fundamental investors That's why we interview CEOs so we can understand who's behind the company We can understand what's going on with the company We can understand what the future looks like for those companies. So as an investor we can make informed decisions Hopefully when we do these videos you can have a better understanding of what's going on in the markets And why things are going up and why they are going down and what's going to happen next But the reality is I just don't see and i'm a holder of bitcoin full disclosure. I've told you this I don't see what the big catalyst for bitcoin is now And that's a problem when you don't know what the next catalyst is until 2024 We've got september october november and december What's going to be the catalyst for bitcoin right now? And I think a lot of investors looking at that now and saying, you know what? Let me sell this now and let me put my money to work somewhere else I'll come back into bitcoin in 2024 because they got the bitcoin halving event They've got six bitcoins body tf's coming that's seven major catalysts that could potentially make bitcoin explode But I want to put my money to work somewhere else over the next four months And I believe that's why bitcoin today is at 25,779 Now we look at the one-year chart on bitcoin. You can see bitcoin's still up It's still up. So anyone that's been buying bitcoin this year is up So a lot of those investors now maybe you're thinking, oh, you know, let me sell right now before it goes lower And if it does go lower, I could just buy it back I think this is what is happening in the market. I mean, based on what I'm seeing here You know, you can see my mac d signals buys and sells right now There's a massive sell signal and I just do not see what the next catalyst is for bitcoin right now that's A problem and I'll watch this very carefully I'm going to be coming here with you guys every single week to break down what's going on on stocks and stacks And the bull and bear show and I'm going to be interviewing different CEOs all the time as well with different companies and stocks and crypto So we're always going to be keeping you guys updated on what's going on the market I just want to make sure you guys really truly understand what is happening. I'm not just a Fundamental investor that likes to invest in things based on their fundamentals based on the revenue growth based on the catalysts and the news I'm also a technical investor. I like to look at the markets. I like to look at their charts I like to look at their rsi the relative strength index. I like to look at the mac d I like to look at the bologna bands. I like to look at a lot the fibonacci's. I like to look at a lot of different things and right now Everything is signaling sell For me I'm going to show you a lot of different stuff going on the market all the different things that I've been looking at all week And I just haven't been able to find any trades It's been hard. It's been very hard to find trades because everything was so high And now things are starting to come down Which is signaling that it's a good time to start buying again And that is my signal to start buying So let's take a look at the markets and look at what is moving today. So bitcoin definitely down Proceed with caution with bitcoin right now. Now. This is a stock that's having a really big day And we're going to just look at the one day chart here Ionm so you can see here They are 73% on the day, but when I look at the company's financials, I'm not impressed I'm not impressed with their financials. I don't really like what I see This is a company making a million a quarter That's nothing and they're 50 cents, but they're up 73% today And I mean group chats and people are talking about how they're buying ionm But guys this company's losing money They're losing tons of money. They're only making a million a quarter So am I gonna buy something that's losing money that's up 73% today? Probably not And I'm just being honest with you. I'm really not that excited. Look at their one-year chart See how they've been coming down and they're just doing a debt cap bounce now. They're bouncing back up That doesn't excite me As an investor that doesn't excite me. Is it on my watch list? Yes. Is it on my radar? Yes But like I see stocks move and then the first thing I do is I look at their news And then I look at their financials and then when I look at their financials and I see this company is losing Tons of money It's really hard for me to get excited It's really hard for me to get excited So I'm just here to kind of tell you guys what's up and kind of break it down to make you guys really understand What I'm seeing and I'm telling you right now what I'm seeing. I'm not liking Just being straight with you what I'm seeing. I'm not liking And I'm not going to go and buy something if I don't like what I see And she can't do it. I can't get excited about it. I can't do it. I don't want to do it I'm not interested. There's so many different reasons why this is happening and And I just think everyone needs to be really really careful Because these markets are really risky and there's a lot of desperate traders right now that are just looking to make money And they'll just buy anything and when I'm in these group chats and I see these guys are buying these things and I ask them Why are you buying it? Did you see the companies losing tons of money? Have you seen their earnings results? Their earnings are terrible Yeah, well, you know, I'm just doing I'm scalping. I'm just looking for a quick trade Yeah, that doesn't work for me Sorry, I want to buy something because everything makes sense I want to buy something because I think because everything makes sense What's up? Hey, thank you for your question I hope it recovers, you know, I whenever a stock or crypto goes down. I always hope that we recover But at the end of the day, that's not up to me. That's up to that's up to the company That's up to the company. That's up to the management team. That's up to the CEO. That's up to the board That's up to the employees. They have to make the company work I'm just someone that tells the story of what's going on in the market I don't own any of these public companies I don't own any of these cryptos other than owning the physical crypto or physical stock. I don't own these companies I'm not on the management teams. I'm not on the board of directors I'm not a CEO of any of these companies or any of these cryptos So when someone asks me, do you think something's going to recover? I think you should look at the fundamentals of the company And the fundamentals of the company look bad and they're losing money Not a good sign Right, but if the fundamentals look good and the company's growing and the revenues are growing and the company's assets are growing Then it looks good. Those are the companies that I get excited about But it's very hard for me to get excited about a company that's losing money I think that just makes sense As investors, I think we need to be really informed about everything we're buying Everything we're investing in and really understand what's going on in the entire global global economy And I think when you do that you give yourself a better chance to have success in the market When you look at the best investor ever, his name is Warren Buffett Warren Buffett has done extremely well in every major market environment Last year when everything was crashing Warren Buffett was doing incredible This year Warren Buffett has done incredible Why? Because Warren Buffett likes to invest in fundamentals. He likes to invest in sure things He likes to invest in growing companies. He likes to invest in businesses that will be around for 20 years Warren Buffett actually looks at fundamentals. He looks at their finances He looks at their debt to their debt to equity ratios. He looks at the management team. He looks at their product He looks at their revenue growth. He looks at those things He doesn't just see a stock that's up 50% and then buy it and hope it's going to go up 100% so he can make 50% That's a very scary way to invest because a lot of times if you buy something that's already up 50% By the time you buy it, it's going to get shorted and go back down 20 or 30% And you're going to get stuck holding the bag This is a very common thing that happens to investors. That's why day traders 95 95% of day traders lose That's a fact 95% of day traders lose. However, a much higher percentage of long-term investors have success Those are facts My job is to make sure that as investors you guys are learning You guys are earning and you guys are understanding the markets So that you can make good informed decisions and you can beat the markets and make money That's extremely important to me and I want to make sure you guys understand that here's id.  But why is it bouncing up? Does it have huge revenue growth? Does it have huge financials? Does it have a huge acquisition? Most of these penny stocks right now that I'm going to tell you about are junk Most of these penny stocks are either going bankrupt doing reverse splits being acquired Or just been beat down and they're bouncing up on a debt cap bounce and maybe day traders and short traders Maybe you're getting squeezed, but they're just doing a debt cap bounce Which is for me not a really good reason to buy that stock I don't want to buy a stock because it's bouncing for one day. I want to buy a stock that has a chance to continue to go up for a long time So when I see these stocks, I think you need to be really really careful and proceed with caution Here's top. This is not a penny stock. It's at seven dollars. It's up 28% of the day But you can see it's had this huge spike and then it's come back down And the mag d is giving me a sell signal Which is divergence because it's up even though the mag d has given me a sell signal So that's a lot of divergence. See the mag d. It's pointing down gives me a sell signal and it's going up Obviously they had some news today. They're going up. This is good Definitely wanted to watch I think top top put on your radar put on your watch list This doesn't want this a little bit of a better deal that I think has a little bit more interest You can see it's been much higher But I think you need to be really really careful here and proceed with caution I really think you need to be careful here and proceed with caution All right, let's take a look at ag in Now this is a little different. This is a company that I actually think has a chance to be very very successful They actually have a growing business They have a seven dollar price target Seven dollar price target by many institutions an average seven dollar price target and they're at a dollar 58 This is the type of company I like and then when you look at the one year chart, you can see they've been higher They've been a little bit lower and they're starting to come back up But they've got a seven dollar price target and they're a growing company and the rsi is showing that they are Near a goodbye zone This is a company that interests me that are up 19% on the date because an article article came out By one of the largest investors in america saying that he's buying this stock With a seven dollar price target And there's a lot of interest that this could reach that seven dollar price target in the next 12 months So if ag en hits that seven dollar price target in the next 12 months This could be you know a 300 or 400 percent gainer for investors These are the types of picks that I like These are the types of picks that get me excited These are the types of picks that I think you guys should be looking at companies that are undervalued underappreciated underexposed growing companies With a strong share structure. Let's take a look at their share structure ag en Always look at their share structure 369 million shares, so it's not like billions of shares like some penny stocks are at It's got not a tight flow, but a reasonable flow, but it's a growing company And some big institutions are getting in and like I said, they have a seven dollar price target And they're curling at a dollar 58 this I can wrap my head around This is a kind of trade that I can get excited about ag en I believe that you should put it on your radar put on your watch list agenis agenis ink health and technology biotechnology company And I think they have a lot of potential and they are up nicely today So put them on your radar and put them on your watch list All right, let's see here. Okay Now this is genius gns another one that's been higher Came back down and now is doing a debt cap balance So I think you need to really perceive a caution I I'm struggling to get excited about this company another company that's just got struggling financials And I know that they're raising capital. They're selling stock. That's a dilutive event Very hard for me to get excited about stocks that are dilutive companies that are struggling financially But they're up 15 of the day They've been very choppy up and down and you can see they're one-year chart and you can see Very choppy up and down and essentially just doing a debt cap balance. That's all they're doing But there's divergence here. You can see my mag D here and the mag D actually called a cell And then they went up So that's divergence divergence means you're getting mixed messages. You've got indicators telling yourself But it's going up. That's divergence mixed messages mixed signals Not my type of thing But I know I'm in a lot of groups and a lot of people are excited about this trade It could be an interesting day trade, but another one that I'm not that excited about just not But it's you know, it's having a nice day to be up 16% gms Here's modd. These guys were up a huge pre-market. I was watching them carefully. I did like their news I'm kind of I'm kind of interested in this one I am I'm not gonna lie because you could see it's come back down as well. It's definitely cheap But I'm also getting some divergence here because The mag D first said sell then it said buy So it was like sell and then immediately said buy a little bit of divergence mixed messages and it's climbing up so Interesting one. I think modd put it on your radar put on your watch list I'm watching it closely. It was a big pre-market. So had you bought a pre-market you'd be down Another one that like if you chase these things usually doesn't end very well for you So I think you need to really be careful and perceive a caution with all of the different stocks right now in the market Here's bntc Another one that's up 11% today the magd did call it by and it's climbing So that's interesting to me and then when I look at the one-year chart I can see it's come back down from a higher level and starting to bounce up so huge upside from here lots of opportunity And it did signal a buy here on the magd And the rsi is in a buy zone so Two indicators the magd signaling a buy see whenever the magd is blue here. It's signaling a buy And the rsi also in a buy zone. So two indicators signaling a buy and it's up 12 percent. I like that It's been higher. It's down That type of thing is something I can wrap my head around. So as an investor, that's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for Signals that make sense then from there. I still need to understand the fundamentals I still need to go and understand what does bntc do?  What kind of products do they have how much money are they making every quarter? I want to know those things So I can have a good feel about this investment before I even think about buying it That's what rich tv is all about is really understanding Everything you're investing in so that you can make good informed decisions and you can be a successful long-term investor I want to be in this game for a long time I've been in this game for a long time. I've had lots of success I've also lost on stocks and crypto Lots of them and over the years I've learned that I want to be one of those investors that wants that loses less and wins more In order to lose less and win more you have to have a plan And in this world people don't plan to fail. They fail to plan So as an investor you have to have a very good plan and stick to it And I'm the type of guy like when people give me a stock I don't just immediately buy it in the past. I did And I'll tell you nine times out of 10. I lost So now I've learned to really respect my money And when someone gives me a stock or crypto, I don't just immediately buy it I go and I do my research first And then I think about whether or not I want to own it And if I want to own it how long I'm willing to hold it And if I'm not willing to buy it and hold it for at least one or two years Usually I don't buy it because if I'm not comfortable in holding something for a couple years Probably not something I'm going to buy Now that doesn't mean that if I buy a stock and it goes up 100% the next day that I'm not going to sell If I buy a stock or a crypto and it goes up 100% the next day, I'm probably going to sell But when I buy something I want to buy it with the confidence that I'd be willing to hold it for a couple years Otherwise I'm not going to buy it and and I take that mentality for Warren Buffett Warren Buffett believes that when he buys something and he buys a stock He wants to know that they're going to be a superpower in that industry for the next 20 years And if he can't hold that stock for 10 to 20 years, he won't even think about buying it He's not thinking about buying it short term. He's not looking to buy something for a short flip It doesn't mean that he won't sell it in six or 12 months. He might If the market conditions change, he might But he's buying something with the intention of I'm willing to hold for 10 to 20 years Because in 10 to 20 years, this can go up 10 or 20 x And I want to be in this stock for 10 to 20 years So I can see that price appreciation of 10 to 20 x over the next 10 to 20 years And I think that when you gain that mentality as an investor, you give yourself a better chance of having success And since we've been investing here since 2017 on rich tv live on youtube on social media all over social media with our trading community We've had ups. We've had downs. We've had a lot of success. We've had some failures When I look back at the failures There's been failures with cannabis stocks because the entire sector has been decimated That was a mistake because I thought the cannabis sector would be a huge success. I was wrong It's been a huge failure There's also been failures in the psychedelic sector. I thought the psychedelic sector would be a huge success It's been a huge failure so That taught me a lot. It humbled me and taught me that You can't just assume that because something's new it's going to be success That's not how it works You actually have to look at the balance sheet and understand whether or not that company or that industry Is going to be profitable and if that company or that industry is not going to be profitable Chances are that that company is not going to succeed The other thing I learned is that in every single industry Like cannabis and like psychedelics that have not been successful thus far There's probably only going to be one or two winners And those one or two winners are the ones that you want to own And those one or two winners are usually going to accumulate And consolidate all the smaller losers and failing companies that can't make money And that's what's happening in the cannabis sector That's what's happening in the psychedelic sector and that really taught me a lot Because when you lose you learn a lot when you win You don't really learn a lot because you feel really good.  You're buying cars. You're going on vacation You're enjoying your winnings, which you should But you're not thinking about what you did wrong or what you did right You're just enjoying your win when you lose Because you've got money that you've lost, you know, your account doesn't look good your portfolio doesn't look good You it gives you it humbles you and it gives you time to look at what you did wrong Where you went wrong and what you could have done differently And I think that that makes you a better investor But if you continue to just jump into stocks or cryptos or nfts or even real estate And you haven't had success and you continue to do what you've done in the past without having success Chances are you're going to continue to fail So you have to analyze everything you've done And if you haven't had success you need to analyze everything that you've done and Create a new play a new game plan a new playbook And create a strategy that's going to give you success So i'm going to be honest with you last year when the market crashed was a very humbling experience I did not do well last year. I'm not going to lie to you last year In the markets was a very humbling year for me Because everything went down stocks went down crypto went down and i'm holding stocks and crypto And they all went down it was tough But what I did do Thank goodness. Thank god for this. Thank you lord for protecting me Because I bought bitcoin. I bought ethereum those two And I bought a lot of it and i'm still holding my bitcoin in ethereum I bought bitcoin and ethereum And I bought bitcoin stocks Bitcoin ETFs I bought apple tesla I bought Shopify I bought Google I bought amazon All of them went up this year I sold apple tesla google amazon Shopify And some other stocks as well, but those are the major big ones the big names I bought them all last year and this year I sold them all With profit So this year has been a great year But I have not sold my bitcoin. I have not sold my ethereum. Now you're going to ask me why The reason why I haven't sold my bitcoin in ethereum is because I believe that they're going to go higher with massive catalysts coming bitcoin having In march of 2024, which is now seven months away And Now six bitcoin spot ETFs which are all expected to be approved in the early part of 2024 That gives us seven massive catalysts for bitcoin In the next seven months Most of which will happen in the first quarter or the first half of 2024 So I believe 2024 is going to be a magical year for bitcoin And being a bitcoin holder and an ethereum holder. I'm very excited about that That's why I'm not selling my bitcoin and my theory But why did I sell those stocks because I felt like everything was so high And they had to come back down and I've sold and now they're starting to come back down So now my mentality is I'm thinking about getting it again So let's take a look at the market again. So let's take a look at some of the other stocks that are having good days Here's ebet. You could see they've come down And now they're starting to come back up But another one of those stocks that when I look at their fundamentals and I look at their financials I'm not impressed. It's at seven sex a seven cents. They're pretty much almost bankrupt So I'm not buying this stock I'm not doing it But there's people buying the stock name and all the power to you but for me that doesn't interest me I can't do it But I know some of you guys are doing it all the power to you. I wish you the best of luck I just can't do it. I can't Uh, I got no interest in it. Here's vcig another one that's been higher It's been a little bit lower and it's starting to come up this a little bit of a better deal Still not really a profitable company But a company that is a better deal than a lot of these other companies that are penny stocks that are just hype stocks Momentum trades people are just scalping for a quick 10 20 percent. This is actually a better deal It's a 12 percent of the day vcig and let's take a look at their share structure Very important to understand the share structure because if it's a tight float stock it always has a chance to go higher always All right Okay, vcig only has 1.8 million shares in the float. That's a tight float So these are the types of stocks that can really explode when they only have 1.8 million shares So I like that. See there's got to be a reason why I like it to me. That gets me excited Honestly, that gets me excited 1 million shares vcig could potentially go to the moon Because there's only 1.8 million shares That's the type of thing that gets me excited Right when I see that they have huge amount of shares I get excited When they have a tight amount of shares like a small amount of shares I get excited If I see a huge amount of shares I get worried because I think about dilution I think about People wanting to sell because there's so many shares out there Or if it's crypto so many coins out there that people are going to be dumping into you That doesn't get me excited. That actually gets me worried All right Man time is flying by while I'm showing you guys what's going on the market So vcig is one that I think everyone should be aware of here's tt o o This is another penny stock that everybody's talking about in the world of penny worlds Another one that doesn't really get me that excited, but it's uh, it's moving You know, it's moving. So definitely want to watch put on your radar put on your watch list and shares in the floats 282 million shares in the float. So another one that like I said penny one That probably not the greatest when you look at the fundamentals because I've looked at it and it didn't get me that pressed but a lot of you know guys that are looking for momentum are Just desperately looking for you know, five 10 15 20 percent moves and they'll buy these types of stocks and they're up 17 of the day Here's wavd up 18 of the day another one at 50 cents proceed with caution But tight flow I like to tight floaters only 15 million shares in the float That's why they have a chance to explode So a good one to put on your radar and put on your watch list wave d wavd Here's slng They're going up the mac d did call a buy you could see the rsi here was at a decent buy zone decent play up nine percent of the day put slng on your radar and on your watch list All right, so here's one that I am interested in buying Okay, so kind of frustrated I was really busy this week and I didn't get a chance to buy this dip But I've been talking about rml to my community for months. These guys were at five cents They went to a high of 52 cents in canada I believe they're at like a high of about 40 cents in the u.s. The symbol is rml in canada rml ff in america, so They're now at 46 and a half cents up 10 of the day They went up to 52 cents in canada and then sold off and this week went to 28 28 would have been amazing buy, but unfortunately I was really busy I didn't get a chance to buy it and I missed it and I'm frustrated because I should have bought it I wanted to buy it. I thought about buying it, but I wasn't around to do it And I missed it and look at what it did it bounced gave investors a chance to get back in and it's bouncing right back up Now, why do I like the star? This is a company that has a one billion dollar settlement with the government of venezuela If the one billion dollar settlement comes through I believe that this could go to at least a dollar maybe as high as three to five bucks If that happens, this gives us a chance to get huge upside Now you do need to know that this started at five cents a few months ago. It's at 45 cents in canada. It's up 900 So I'm not going to tell you to buy it, but I'm interested in buying it myself Do your own due diligence do your research, but when I see there's a company that's a penny stock at 45 cents in canada And let's take a look at it in america. What's it at today in america? So in america they are currently at 33 cents So they've been you know a little bit higher in america But you can see that they are up hundreds of percent on the year Okay, hundreds of percent like as of now, they're up 581 percent. That's a big big big move, right? Okay, let's put them beside each other as I speak rumble rml is dropping So the more they drop the more I want to buy it, but look at rml You can see as of now. It's up 600 percent This year in the last few months. So Am I telling you to buy it? No, I'm not telling you to buy anything. I never tell anyone to buy anything and never tell them to sell anything I'm telling you that I'm interested in buying it I'm thinking about buying it, but I haven't bought it because it just kept going higher and higher and higher So it's been very difficult for me to get into this But I want to get into it and I'm going to and when I do I'll let you guys know And if you're a vip member in my trading community, you will know first Everyone that was in my trading community has learned about rml since it was at seven cents It started at five it went to seven it started telling people at seven and it's now at 44 and a half cents in canada and 33 almost 34 cents in america It's been a huge success and why not just because of hype not because of momentum not because of Day traders not because of a short squeeze because of a one billion dollar settlement That they're working on that could get settled as early as October of this year and we're in august If that happens, I believe we will see this be at at least a dollar But like I said a billion dollar settlement for a penny stock could take this to three bucks four bucks five bucks I don't know, but I think it's going to go much higher. That's why it's going up This is what I want you guys to be able to learn how to do as investors Understand why a stock's going up Understand what the catalysts are so that you can make a good informed decision that makes sense as opposed to Oh, the stock's up 600. Let me just buy it and hope to go as up a thousand percent and I can make 400 percent Does that make sense? I hope that's making sense Hey, what's up, brah? Good to see you too, brother. How you doing man? You have any questions about any stocks any cryptos any NFTs anything? Please put in the chat I'll obviously do my best to always give you the best information and guidance that I can my friend Hope you're doing well and I want to wish everyone a fantastic weekend. It is a friday I've got about 10 minutes left where I'm going to stay live and continue to show you guys what I'm looking at But these are the stocks that I'm really interested in right now and I've been watching all week All right, let me just tell you about some other stuff that's going on. That's got my attention Let's see here Oh Let's talk about This Let's talk about this. Let's talk about this Okay, let's talk about this What the heck is it? Okay one second. Hold on Tesla So I sold my Tesla this year. Okay, and I'm thinking about getting back in I'm thinking about getting back and I'm going to show you what That's the funniest picture of Elon That is so cool. How did that happen? See that picture of Elon? That was so cool I've never seen that before on trading view but that was cool, man And I have no idea where that came from. That was cool. So I sold my Tesla I sold it too soon It went up sold it and then went up even higher, but now it's coming down So if you sold your Tesla and it went even higher like me and now it's coming down And it's probably coming down with the price of Bitcoin, which is fine Now I'm thinking about getting into Tesla again because Elon's the richest man in the world Tesla is one of the fastest growing companies in the world Electric vehicles are only getting bigger and bigger and Tesla is the biggest leader in the world of electric vehicles So this huge pullback Is very interesting to me, you know, because as an investor, that's what I'm looking for Right. I'm looking for something that makes sense Right. I'm looking for something that makes sense to me And when Tesla dropped to a hundred bucks, I bought it. Then it went up. I sold it And it went up even higher and it to got to the point where I felt like it was overbought So I never called the buy I waited and waited and waited for this big sell-off and that's happening So the sell-off is happening now like look at that huge sell-off, right? Big massive sell-off and the mag D did call it look right there It said sell-off and look rsi is now back in a buy zone So as an investor, I'm starting to get excited about buying Tesla again because I want to buy things when they're down I want to buy good growing companies when they're down like I did last year and sell them when they're up So this year I sold all of those stocks that I bought last year And now that they're starting to go back down now. I'm thinking about buying them again, but I'm wondering will Tesla go lower He could It definitely could but the thing that I'm thinking about here is This rsi isn't such a decent zone that A part of me thinks that It is a good buy because it's in a buy zone for the rsi So a part of me really thinks this is a good buy Which is crazy because it started the year at 100 bucks and now it's the 215. So why would I want to buy it? It's the elan effect. You know, it's elan musk. You know, it just feels like it's going to go higher So I'm going to watch this carefully. I'm not buying it right now But those are two stocks that I'm really thinking about buying. I'm thinking about buying tesla I'm thinking about buying. We're sorrow mining Um, I am thinking about buying and I told you guys earlier here A g en it's now up 21 percent. So it just keeps going up So I'm not the only one saying this other people are thinking this too because it's going higher And another one that I'm interested in is prax this is another one that is Being bought by one of the largest investors on wall street He's given it a seven dollar price target in the next 12 months. It's at a dollar 44 And it's up seven percent of the day I like that now when I look at the share structure 113 million shares in the float. So it's got a very responsible float only 113 million shares I can wrap my head around that I can get excited about that. I like the share structure I like the company. I like the fact that they've got revenue growth potential And I like the fact that big institutional investors that are quality fundamental investors believe in the deal That's the type of thing I can get excited about So prax tesla These are trades that I'm Recurramining these are trades that I'm all thinking about getting into I haven't bought them yet but these are all trades that I'm thinking about right now And you can see here prax is actually still down 53 percent on the year So they're cheap They've got huge upside and they're down As an investor That gets me excited Right That's the type of thing that gets me excited Makes me feel like there's a lot of potential upside When I see this type of trade idea All right, now let's take a look at one more What was I thinking about next there's one more? Oh walmart I really like walmart And there's many different reasons, but most of them are fundamental. So walmart is at $158 And up 1.7 percent But the reason why I like walmart is they just reported a very strong quarter. So this is a fundamental trade This is more of just like quality company Fundamentally reported a very strong quarter And it's a quality company that I really like and when you see good quality companies And they have good quarters Then you have to put them on your radar and put them on your watches now They're up 14 on the year So they've been climbing up like most things but 14 isn't much So I still feel like there's some chance and opportunity here if you look at the five-year chart, you can see they've been higher They've been higher right So It definitely interests me, you know It interests me a lot knowing that it's been higher And I feel like there is some serious opportunity here Serious serious opportunity here Which I get excited about I love opportunity as an investor and walmart here is just quality company And they were given a 168 price target from another institution currently at 158 So I just don't know see when I look at that I don't know if there's enough room for there for me to get excited, you know 10 bucks You know, so it's doing well. They just reported strong But hard for me to get too excited about it because when I see that it's got like 168 price target It's sitting at 158. I like it. He just reported strong But everything is pulling back right now And he just reported a really strong quarter and it's only up 1% So that worries me a little bit So probably not something I'm going to buy but definitely something I'm watching closely because of the fact that they You know, it's walmart. I mean We all shop a walmart. I know I do so I think there's just so much potential I really believe there's so much potential So this is just me looking at the indicators directly with Just looking at the charts and the candles with no indicators And you can see that it looks pretty strong over the last five years walmart's got a pretty strong trajectory This is just another one of the quality names that I think if you're looking to put in your portfolio quality company This is one that you should definitely be looking at walmart So that's what's kind of going on overall in the week. That's what's happening overall That's kind of what's been capturing my attention There's anything else. Here's another one that I'm interested in is tillray. So Tillray is one that I own full disclosure It's one of those cannabis companies that's been in the same category of cannabis companies. That's been just destroyed But they seem to be doing good things. They keep acquiring businesses They've been acquiring beverage businesses beverage companies cannabis companies They're one of the companies that's becoming a cannabis giant that seems to be acquiring everybody and look they're way down Way down Right 2021 they're at 27 bucks. They're sitting at three dollars and 61 cents in canada So I really have a lot of interest in this and full disclosure. I own it So I'm not trying to tell you to buy it, but as a straight pure investment. I'm very interested in this I'm extremely interested in this. Okay So that's what I'm showing you this you can see the magdi is calling a buy And the rsi is in a good buy zone. So that's two indicators signaling a buy They continue to do good things. They continue to buy these businesses They continue to do the right thing, but they're still not profitable That's why they're trading down in this region. If these guys can turn the corner and get profitable I think tillray could easily be a 10x So this is another one of those trades that I'm interested in and I own some and I'm going to probably buy some more Tillray because I just feel like long term if they can turn the corner become profitable, which I believe they're going in that direction I really believe that tillray could be a 10x That's my opinion.

Have a great weekend I really believe that it's going to be a tough month and i've been saying that In july about august and that's exactly what's happened I do believe that september things will start to get a little bit better especially for small caps But I do believe that it will probably be a little bit of a slower month in september too. Why seasonality September's like typically Historically has always been a bad month in the markets So I do believe that we're going to have a choppy six weeks between now and october, but I believe that Historically seasonality october november will probably have pretty good months So I'm thinking what's going to happen is in the next six weeks We'll have a little bit of a pullback in the market in stocks and crypto So that we have another setup for everything to explode again in october and november Maybe december and then that leads us into 2024 where we've got all these catalysts for bitcoin Bitcoin having coming six bitcoin ETFs where I believe we're going to have a magical 2024 So stay tuned. I'll give you guys all the updates as they happen Exclusively at rich tv. Thank you for watching everybody. Have a great day. Have a great weekend. I'm out peace


these children are paying the price for what the elders in their societies are doing. And if you ask, why should they pay that price? It is because every human being has this much of suffering they have to suffer in a lifetime. Some suffer that in their childhood, and others suffer that in their adulthood, and others suffer that in their old age. If a person and a society is kind of balanced out, then that suffering is spread across an entire lifetime. So it is not experienced extremely at a given age. In a society where the adult population is attracting this to that extent, the suffering for those children happens in their childhood. They will suffer less as they grow older and in their adulthood. There's only that much suffering that each human being undergoes. It's just spread out in different ways.

Palestinians who want to verify the validity of the residential permits in Israel need to download an app called Coordinator. Reports say that the app permits the military to access the user's camera, check notifications received, as well as see downloaded files. Users need to accept the following terms to install the app. We may make use of the information we collect for any purpose, including for security purposes. You agree and declare that you know that all the information you are asked to provide is not required by law or defence regulations and it is provided of your own free will so that we can make use of it as we see fit. Israel's Shin Bed Domestic Intelligence Agency has been given sweeping powers to monitor people and identify those with diseases and track those who have interacted with them. Based on this tracking, the Israeli Health Ministry had sent out text messages to citizens stated that they have been found to have been in close proximity to someone who has been tested positive. The notice says that you must immediately go into isolation for 14 days to protect your relatives and the public. Israelis who tested positive also received messages informing them that their cell phone data would now be used to warn others who may have been exposed to them according to a statement from the health ministry. The recipients of the messages had not signed up for this nor is there a way to opt out. Though the Israeli Supreme Court issued a temporary injunction allowing only those who tested positive to be tracked and ruled that a parliamentary committee would have to endorse the initiative, it later revoked the injunction. Civil rights groups have condemned the government's decision to use mass surveillance as a means to curb the spread of the virus. The notorious spyware manufacturing company NSO had also pitched its software to track the pandemic. NSO's software Pegasus has been used to monitor human rights defenders and activists around the world. On Sunday, protests broke out in Israel against the government's anti-democratic surveillance measures. As of the evening of April 22nd, there have been around 14,300 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Israel with nearly 190 dead.


Hello, this unit investigates two further functions that are associated with the elements of the verb group, aspect and voice. In the virtual session, where we will see that both verbal functions are realized syntactically by means of complex verb groups, we will illustrate the various types of aspect and voice and will discuss criteria to keep them apart. Our guidance optionally use the question sheet with its hyperlinks and its video references. The mastery worksheet, once more a dynamic multiple choice test, provides you with questions about aspect and voice. After the virtual session, this should not be problematic at all. And in the practical, we have data for you. Data about aspect and voice, all ready for analysis. Great use of all these options to achieve a deeper understanding of aspect and voice.


Hi there, Sandy Allnach, artist and paper crafter here on YouTube with day five of the 24 tags of Christmas 2017. There's six in the series, so we are getting near the end.  Now you can actually cut out all these intermediate pieces, all those sentiments, and I decided not to. So I've cut one out of each of four different papers. And so I first did all of that, as heavy of cardstock as I could because I didn't want these to be all lightweight and flimsy. And then I took some score tape, and I put it onto some cardstock that I was going to then cut to cover the back panel of each one of these. Score tape has two sides to it, so it like makes it a double sticky thing. And so I'm basically making a piece of cardstock that has sticky on one side. You could alternatively, instead of doing that, you could cut out the shapes of these tags to cover up the inside portions and then just add a whole bunch of adhesive to it. So just take your tape runner and run it over it because you want the part that shows through the holes to be sticky. But the way I'm doing it is probably a little bit backwards. I seem to be doing everything backwards during this tag series, but there you go. So I have my pieces that are covering the back and then the insides are all sticky. The part facing front is sticky. And I've got my little quick stick because I need to pick up all these teeny tiny pieces to put them back in and I'm going to mix the colors from all four of the different pieces. Here's the learning that I had. I dumped all of the pieces into a big pile. That was not the smartest thing to do. I'm just going to tell you that now.  I'm not doing a very good job of finding them because, yeah, they're a big pile and there's all different kinds of letters and sizes. Yeah, there's the pile. I pushed it in because I thought you would want to see the disaster that I have made of it because you have to find the insides of the letters in the color of the tag itself in order to fill those parts in. And it gets just a little bit ridiculous, right? So I do have a tip for you a little bit later in this video that you're going to see a better solution that your children can help you with. Because I happen to know that there are some little people with little fingers who, in their youth, I know that they loved sorting things and they loved putting things together in piles.  I put all the stars in a pile and I put all the O's in a pile and I put all the Y's in a pile. So that then when I went to add the other three and get the other three tags assembled, it went quick as a bunny because I could find everything real quickly. So there's tip from me, just make sure you actually get them all sorted out because then you're going to be able to place them back in a lot quicker. This little quick stick thing is also a godsend because the little thing on the end, that little green nibby thing, sticks to the paper but not enough that it's not going to fight against the adhesive that you have inside each one of those letters. But it also has the little pointy thing on the back end and I end up kind of pushing things around with both ends of that from time to time. So it really helps. And there's also a lot of other things you can do with this particular die set.  You can go crazy with them if you would like and use them on your cards in different ways. And if you look on YouTube for concertina dies, I bet you you're going to find other people doing really cool things with them as well. And you can use the tags then as empty tags and decorate them in any way you wish especially if you have a stamp set that has three images that you want to use together. You can use them on the three dies because you have a score in between each one of those three tags. You can also just cut them along that score line and then you will have three tags. So if you're looking for a really great tag die just so you can make a lot of tags. You can get three tags out of them and they each have different bottoms kind of on them so you can kind of have different shapes etc. And so when these are all done you can fold them this way. I'm not going to send them folded this way with the string tied through all three of them but you can make a little ornament out of that isn't that cute? But they would hang up that way and I think they came out adorable even if they took me longer than they should have because I did it backwards at the beginning. But at least I learned from my mistake and now you don't have to make that mistake either. So I am going to give you here a sneak peek of the altered tote that I've got over on the other channel. Over on my Bible Generally channel if you want to go see that and that's about it for today. We have one more in the tag series so be sure to leave comments on this video as well as on the blog in order to have a chance to win one of these tags. And I will see you tomorrow for the final video. Thank you so much. I'll see you then.


Right, because you don't have a fight schedule. Am I wrong in thinking this? Do you not have a fight schedule? No, no fight scheduled yet. But I think it'd probably be Leon Edwards. Because Leon Edwards is kind of, he's the only guy up there. He hasn't lost since 20, I want to say 2016 or 2015, where he fought me. So I was his last loss. And he's managed to put together a win streak of maybe 10-5 to a row. So, you know, he's kind of put himself in that position to where he's on the short list. But you know what I say, I'm ready for anyone, anytime. Whatever, whoever, it doesn't matter. They got to step in there, still get to **** with two.   I mean, I played soccer, which is a lot of running.


Friendship with the Holy Spirit is the key to the empowered Christian life.  Yes, we understand we pray to the Father in the name of Jesus. Yes, we understand that the Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus. So when I say that it makes up the entirety of your spiritual life, I am not saying that the Father is not involved or that the Son is not involved. I'm saying that the Holy Spirit is the one in you and with you here upon the earth, helping you to carry out this Christian life. The Bible says this in 2 Corinthians chapter 13 verse 14. And here we see the involvement of the Father, the Son and the Spirit. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Now I love that the scripture mentions the grace of the Lord Jesus, and I love that the scripture mentions the love of God. These are dynamic spiritual keys in our lives. But I want to focus this evening on the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. That word fellowship is communion as in companionship, relationship, connection, conversation.  The Holy Spirit is not just a force or a feeling. He's a friend. The Holy Spirit is the one who helps you to pray when you don't know what to pray. How many times have you heard stories from other preachers where they talk about having prayed for three or four hours and maybe wonder what they talked about the whole time? I know in the beginning I wondered that, and I would fret about all of the details concerning prayer. Can I sit? Do I have to stand? Would the Lord be offended if I lie down? When do I do intercession? When do I do supplication? When do I worship? When do I study the Word? When do I rebuke the demons? Do I have to speak out loud? Can I pray in my mind? When do I pray in tongues? And can I pray in tongues in my mind? These are questions I wondered. But the Holy Spirit removes that complicated system, that rigidity, that makes it more of an obligation than an opportunity. The Holy Spirit removes all of the flesh and the complication that comes with the flesh. And He guides you in every moment of prayer, stirring you, causing you, influencing you to pray prayers according to the will of God. The Holy Spirit helps you to understand the Scripture. The Scripture describes Him. Jesus more specifically calls Him your teacher. And as you pour over the Scripture, you can interact with the one who inspired every word. And He speaks to you as you pour over that Scripture. The Holy Spirit is the one who helps you to worship. Because you can sing without a revelation. You can dance without a revelation. But you cannot worship without a revelation. Because all true worship is a response to revelation. It's the entirety of your being responding to who God is and what He does. And until you've caught a glimpse of who God is, it's not true worship. This is why, as you read through the Old Testament, as many of the prophets and the patriarchs interacted with the presence of God, they would suddenly be overcome with fear and dread. And that, of course, was an Old Testament concept. But still, there is reverence we have for the Lord. And they would respond with crying holy. They would respond with falling down on the ground. They would respond with trembling and shaking. And they would approach with shaky voices. Yet the Holy Spirit gave them that revelation. Because when they saw something in God, everything within them desired to respond to that. Worship is how your being responds to a revelation of God. And Jesus said, the true worshipers will worship in spirit and in truth, the Holy Spirit and revelation. You cannot worship without the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, it's surface level performance. And it isn't inspired from the depths of the spirit. So He helps you to pray. He helps you to understand the word. He helps you to worship. He gives you boldness. If ever you consider yourself a shy person, the Holy Spirit helps to encourage you to share your faith with boldness and confidence. And he can do that for anyone. The Holy Spirit does not come in portions. There are no versions of the Holy Spirit that are lacking. There is no baby Holy Spirit. There is no new convert Holy Spirit. And you cannot divide the eternal into portions. When the Holy Spirit comes, He comes upon a life in fullness. In fullness of power. The very same measure in which Jesus walked. The very same measure in which the disciples walked. The very same measure in which the early church walked. What do you think it was that caused the martyrs to lay down their lives? What do you think it was that caused the martyrs to come up against the persecution with great boldness and confidence even at the threat of losing their very lives? It was that boldness that came from the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit does these things and many more. And He has been deposited in every believer. Romans chapter 8 verse 9 makes it absolutely clear that every born again believer has the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not a reward for the super spiritual. The Holy Spirit is the only chance you have at being spiritual. In fact the Holy Spirit is the only chance that you have a desiring to be spiritual. Do you desire to be spiritual? If so, that is evidence that you have the Holy Spirit. Otherwise who put those desires in there? So He comes to dwell in the believer in fullness of power. Every believer has the Holy Spirit. The question is not do you have the Holy Spirit? The question is does the Holy Spirit have you? Have you surrendered your life? Have you yielded to the work of the Holy Spirit within you? Are you tapping into that great power that is available to you? Think about it. It's like having a bank balance. It's in your name, under your account, under your social security number.  You lost your access to the balance. In the same way, obedience is like that debit card that helps you to access the power that's available within you. God does not remove from you the Holy Spirit when you make a mistake. What sense would it make for God to remove from you your only chance at being holy as a punishment for you not being holy? The Holy Spirit abides. Am I saying we can go on sinning? Of course not. But I'm saying that the Holy Spirit abides with you faithfully to help you get it right. He can be known. He is always near. He is ever present. He dwells in you. What? No, you're not. That your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. He dwells in you. So when you ask for the power of the Holy Spirit, recognize you don't need more power. You don't need more spiritual gifts. You don't need more love. You don't need more joy. What you need is more surrender because as we yield to the Holy Spirit, the influence of His presence begins to affect every single life. Think about the fact that the Scripture says where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. And then you read in Psalm chapter 139 that the Holy Spirit is everywhere. That there's nowhere that we can escape the presence of the Holy Spirit. So that got me asking, if where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty and the Holy Spirit is everywhere, why isn't there liberty everywhere? Because when the Scripture is talking about the Holy Spirit being somewhere and there being liberty there, it's not just talking about His person and His presence. It's talking about His influence. And that influence comes as we surrender to Him. There's this oneness that's available to you and I. Oneness with the Holy Spirit is not something for then and there. It's for here and now. 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 17 puts it plainly, but the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. One spirit the Bible says. Now we've been taught you have two natures in you and they're like wolves and whichever one you feed the most is the one that overtakes. And that is true to a certain degree. You do of course battle the issues of the flesh and the flesh of course responds as you walk in disobedience and grows stronger and stronger.  The flesh doesn't come and go. The flesh shrinks and grows depending upon whether you're walking in obedience or not. And so as we begin to walk with the Holy Spirit, we notice this change, this transformation happening in us and we begin to yield more to our true identity. This isn't to say that you won't battle with the flesh. This is rather to say that the flesh isn't your true identity. So when you sin and you feel like a fake, I have good news for you.   You're not a wolf in sheep's clothing.  When you walk in disobedience or you make a mistake, you're acting outside of who you really are. He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit. Now, present tense is what the scriptures describing so that the Holy Spirit has joined with my spirit. Doesn't Romans 8 talk about this? He's joined with my spirit causing me to cry Abba Father. So you are already connected with the Holy Spirit. The key is not asking God to connect you with the Holy Spirit, but it's walking in the reality of that connection. I remember I was ministering in Orlando, Florida, and I was a guest speaker at a conference. I'm walking into the building. There's a foyer filled with greeters. And of course, as you do, you walk through the foyer and you shake hands with the greeters. They had the signs. I was really excited to preach shaking hands. Hello, God bless you. Hello, God bless you. And I noticed this one woman who was there serving. And on one side of her body, she seemed to be impaired. Her hand didn't have full mobility. She walked with a cane and she leaned in to shake my hand. When I saw her, something in me knew God was going to heal her. So I go into the service and I start preaching. I think that service I was preaching on spiritual warfare and the fight in the mind. And I'm preaching on spiritual warfare. And as I'm getting started, suddenly I hear myself saying, bring that woman from the foyer here. God's going to heal her. And I said, Lord, please heal her. I heard myself saying, now I'm not saying that the Holy Spirit took control of me. I'm saying that the ease of the flow was so easy that it just came so naturally that I realized I was saying it as I was saying it. Now I don't always walk in that. You could just ask my wife, she's on the front row. But there are moments where there seems to be this click, this flow, like you jump in the river here. And so I hear myself saying this, bring the woman here. God wants to heal her. I said, okay, Lord, I'm depending on you completely. And you know, of course, we have no healing power outside of God. It's his sovereign power at work. And you just have to make sure you're aligning yourself with his will. They bring the woman forward. We have the footage of this. She begins to lift her leg, move her hand, stretch out her arm. By the end of that service, she was dancing on the platform without the use of that cane. So what was that? That was the flow of the Holy Spirit. You say, how do you do that? I don't know. Well, can you describe what that feels like? No, you try describing sight to someone born blind. You try describing hearing to someone born deaf. It's not possible because it's just something you have to experience to know it. Oneness, as I'm describing it here, is that flow of the Spirit that is so natural that you don't even know you're flowing. It's obedience inspired from such depth that you're not even aware that you're obeying. In moments like those, there is no gap of time between when the Spirit speaks and you respond. It just is.  It's so very natural. There is no thought given, no mechanics to be forced. It's just like that. When you realize oneness with the Spirit, it's as though you are a member of a great body and the Holy Spirit is the mind that controls even the most subtle of movements. Your movement becomes His movement. Your intent dissolves in God's will. Your presence and His presence become indistinguishable from one another. Indeed, you are joined with the Lord and in that union, you find the beginning of true prayer, true fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Now for clarification's sake, I am not saying that you are gone.  And in that union comes the flow of everything we call Christianity. Galatians 5.17 says the sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your own good intentions. But of course we know that the Holy Spirit produces fruit. Go with me to 1 Corinthians chapter 2, verses 10 through 14. You know, I didn't always know that the Holy Spirit was a person. I thought that the Holy Spirit was maybe the goosebumps that you feel during a church service or perhaps that mist that sometimes appears over the worship service. I didn't realize that he is a person. Of course he is God. We're about to read here in 1 Corinthians 2, 10 through 14 about the Holy Spirit's omniscience. Psalm 139, I referenced it a moment ago. Psalm 139.7 talks about the Holy Spirit's omnipresence. And then in Luke chapter 1, verse 35, we see that the power of the Holy Spirit is equated with the power of the Most High. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is omnipotent. He's everywhere at all times, all knowing, all powerful. The Holy Spirit is God. But he is God in us. He is God with us, the one who walks with us day by day, instructing us as we move along. 1 Corinthians 2, 10 through 14. But it was to us that God revealed these things by his spirit. For his spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets. Verse 11 of 1 Corinthians 2. No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit. And no one can know God's thoughts except God's own spirit. And we have received God's spirit, not the world's spirit, so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the spirit using the spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's spirit, it all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it. For only those who are spiritual can understand what the spirit means. Here, the Scripture is talking about that connection between the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. The Holy Spirit searches out the deep things of God. He knows God's mind. He knows God's will. He knows God's power. He knows God's nature. He knows God's word. Everything there is to know about God, the Holy Spirit knows. And what does the Scripture say? That he joins with us and he communicates those things. Now, I'm going to say something that may just shift some thought patterns. Lift your hands and say, Holy Spirit, help me receive. I'll be the first to admit that I use the term spiritual growth. I use it all the time. And I probably still will use it. But when I began to read about the realities of the Spirit, I recognized that the term spiritual growth really isn't an accurate one. Now, I'll still use it because when I use that term, everyone understands what I mean by it. That's the nature of terminology. But do you realize that in the Spirit, you already have love? Romans 5, 5, the love of God has shut abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. In the Spirit, you already have power, Acts 1 verse 8, but you shall receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you. In the Spirit, you already have all spiritual gifts. 1 Corinthians 12, 7. Those gifts were given to us to benefit each other. In the Spirit, you have peace. In the Spirit, you have joy. In the Spirit, you have clarity. You don't need to learn the voice of God. You know the voice of God, but in your Spirit, the key is removing all the other distractions. Revelation, you have it. Power, you have it. You say, Brother David, what are you telling me that I don't need to advance, that I don't need to grow? No, I'm saying that because the Holy Spirit dwells in you, and he possesses all of those things, that those things have already been deposited in you. So spiritual growth is not me receiving those things. Spiritual growth is when the rest of who I am catches up with who I really am. Spiritual growth is when my physical being begins to act in a way that is reflective of the nature in me. Spiritual growth is when my mind, my thoughts, my emotions begin to align with who I already am in the Spirit. Are you receiving this? Only those who are spiritual can understand spiritual things. And so I'm not saying there's no need to surrender. I'm not saying there's no need to quote, grow, end quote. I'm saying that we, as we respond to the Holy Spirit who's already in us, we are simply accessing what God already gave to us. And so when you walk with the Holy Spirit, this makes your friendship a lot easier because you're not constantly begging him to stay. You're not constantly wondering, did you distance yourself from me today? Oh, I know I'm hitting on a spiritual nerve right now. I can feel that. Told you, shifting thought patterns. Many times we imagine that our connection with God depends upon how well we perform. For example, if you pray for three weeks straight every day for an hour, 21 days on day 22, you're going to walk into that prayer room, confident, bold, he's going to hear me. And part of you is going to imagine that he's more likely to hear you because you've been such a good servant and you've prayed every day. The inverse of that, I missed the day of prayer. I missed a week. Maybe I prayed five, 10 minutes a day instead of an hour a day. And now I approach God and my confidence is shaken. And we imagine that God's going to be some like, like some clingy friend with his arms folded, snubbing us or perhaps looking down at us, frustrated. Look who decided to show up today. Well, well, well, well, where have you been? We see our relationship with God like it's a ladder. And when we do better, we're climbing up the ladder and getting closer to him. And when we're not doing so well, we climb down the ladder and he's distancing himself. How can he get any closer than within you? How can he get any closer than one with you? Brother David, are you saying I can live how I want? No, I'm saying that if you're truly born again, you won't want to live like that. I'm saying that true believers are broken over their disobedience. We don't need to be told. We can sense it in the spirit. I'm out of line and I need to get it right. And so I'm not saying this is a license to sin. That's not what grace is. Grace is the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit within you that helps you to overcome that sin. Not perfect, but being perfected.  And so when you know that the Holy Spirit always abides with you, when you understand that God is faithful, the Scripture declares he is faithful even when we are not, for he cannot deny who he is. And some of us get a little uneasy with that kind of talk because we can hear the nagging voices of legalism and religion. I don't know, it sounds too good to be true. And for the sake of clarity, let me emphasize it again. You ought to live holy.  Sin will affect your fellowship with God. You know how? Because sin puts you in the state of shame and shame makes it difficult to have confidence in that connection. And so now when you understand that the Holy Spirit abides with you because of the finished work of the cross, then you begin to step into this confidence, this knowing. You don't get stuck in mistakes and wallow in them. You repent of them, get them right and move forward. And you say, okay, Lord, let's try again. The Holy Spirit says, get up, let's try again. That's the voice of the Holy Ghost. And we don't understand the difference in any conviction and condemnation. Condemnation says you are a mistake. Conviction says you made a mistake. Condemnation pushes you away from God in shame.  Condemnation says it's all over for you. Conviction says try again. And the Holy Spirit abides and when we recognize this and we move beyond our religious thinking, by the way, that term religious is not just an insult that Christians use against each other on Facebook. How many times do you hear that? They get mad. Well, you're religious. And I find that often compromising Christians will call holy Christians religious because they're convicted about the lifestyle they're in. Okay, but let me tell you what religious actually is. What legalism actually is by biblical definitions. It is man's attempt to accomplish by his works, what could only be accomplished by Christ. That is what religion is. And so religion has all of these different weeds that grow out of it that begin to choke the life out of life in the spirit. This is why the scripture talks about all talks about the letter and the spirit. Because as you begin to walk in the spirit, you begin to flow with the Holy Spirit. Those fruits come forward. You recognize his faithfulness and now you know you have a friend. When you come to him and you want to pray, you know, when you make a mistake, the best thing to do is pray.  It's proof that the flesh got stronger and now in order to keep its influence, it keeps you from praying. We don't pray to connect with God. If that's what you think, then prayer is frustrating. I didn't feel anything. Did God abandon me? I didn't sense the emotions in the euphoria that sometimes I do is the Holy Spirit gone. And so when you look at it like that, now it becomes frustrating because you think that prayer is this attempt to get God to pay attention. Got quiet again. That's a very good sign. We're pondering these things. And you think that prayer is you. God, hear me. God, be pleased with me. So that you listen. We do not pray to connect with God. We pray from connection with God. The Holy Spirit is my friend. He abides. And He walks with you daily. So how do you cultivate that friendship? It's simple. Trust and obey. Trust and obey. Remember when I told you that there are sins that have consequence. Every sin has consequence here on this side of eternity and on that side of eternity. The whole message on this, I believe it's on my channel. And I talked about and the scripture talks about more importantly how there is a loss of heavenly reward. And on this side of eternity, it destroys you and your perspective. And it causes great shame and it causes great doubt and it's tormenting. And more importantly, Ephesians 4 30 and do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of judgment. Now continually being filled with his influence is also part of it. We'll talk about this in a moment. But that walking with the spirit that acknowledging of his presence will affect the way you live. Look at your hands. These hands are his hands. Now look at me. God the Father seated upon the throne. God the Son seated at his right hand. Where is the Holy Spirit? Dwells in you. God the Father is often described in physical form or a physical form. When I say physical, I don't mean necessarily of this realm and dimension in the same way that we would count materialism. I'm simply saying that God has a form. The Son, after his resurrection, what were they able to do with him? Touch him. And then what happened? He ascended in physical form, glorified body. So where is the body of the Holy Spirit? Look at your hands. Those are his hands. What are you doing with the Holy Spirit's hands? Where are you going with the Holy Spirit's feet? What are you saying with the Holy Spirit's mouth? What are your eyes looking at with the Holy Spirit's eyes? You want to talk about fear? Yes, we fear in a healthy Holy way God's presence and his judgment and his wrath because he is a powerful God. And you talk about being afraid of the criticisms of people. I talked to our interns yesterday about how to deal with criticism and slander. 99% of the time just be quiet. But you know there was a time when I was afraid of what people say. I can admit that. There was a time when it worried me. Now not so much. What can they do? There was a time in my religious thinking when I was afraid of demonic powers. I thought that if I shook hands with the demonic act that somehow it can get on me using anointing oil like Lysol, just get this thing off of me. And some Christians treat demons like pathogens. Oh no. My friend, if a demon is present in someone and you shake their hand it's not jumping on to you. It's jumping out of them because of the Holy Spirit in you. I'm not afraid of man. I'm not afraid of demons in a healthy way. We don't scoff at supernatural beings of course. But when I'm walking with the Lord what's the need of fearing demons? Demons cannot swim in the depths of God. No concern there. I'll tell you what I'm afraid of. Grieving the Holy Spirit. Take anything and everything. Don't take His presence. You have it all. I just need that presence. And so when you walk in that awareness of His presence it changes the way you behave. Doing good works not to get Him to connect with me but living right because I know He already is. And it grieves him when I live a certain way.   The verb here in the Greek is implying a continuation. You fellowship with Him. Don't be ashamed of Him. Trust Him even when you don't understand what He's doing. You know sensitivity to the voice of the Holy Spirit isn't just about how clearly you can hear Him. How many times do we hear people brag? Oh He speaks to me about this and He speaks to me about that. But do you obey? Sensitivity to the voice of the Holy Spirit is not just about how clearly you can hear Him. It's about how quickly you respond when He speaks. That's sensitivity. It's a reaction in the Spirit. And so as you begin to walk with Him in this way it changes your prayer life. It changes your evangelism. It gives you that advantage in the battle against the sin nature. That relationship will change the way you worship. That relationship will change your understanding of the Word. He will help you to actually grasp the spiritual truths. That friendship with the Holy Spirit will affect your relationship with even your loved ones. Not only will He help you to mentally mature and help you to emotionally mature. The effects are many. But look at 2 Corinthians 3, 16 through 18. But whenever someone turns to the Lord, and one of my favorite portions here, the veil is taken away. Watch this, verse 17. For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. The veil is taken away. So there that's talking about revelation or that regenerative work of the Holy Spirit at salvation. Verse 18. So all of us that's talking about you and I, who have had that veil removed, this is so awesome, can see and what reflect. The picture being painted here is like a light shining on a mirror. We are reflections of that glory, not the source of it. So get out of here with the new ageism. We are reflections of that glory. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and what reflect. And the Lord, who is the Spirit, makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image, or from glory to glory. That's who you are. Yes. God didn't call you to go from deliverance to deliverance. He called you to go from glory to glory. As I see Him, I become like Him. Guys, this is fellowship. This is reflecting on the Word. This is time in prayer. This is time in worship. Whenever I am with the eyes of the Spirit beholding Him, something is changing in me. Whether I feel it or not, stop waiting by the way for an experience or an emotion to convince you of what God has already said. Some of you talk about how God's left you because you don't feel something. That shows me you're going by feelings, not by faith in the Word. Where if you shift that perspective and start walking by faith, the encounters will come. But here the Scripture is describing the wonderful reality of reflecting that image and becoming like Him. This is the greatest sign of the influence of the Holy Spirit in your life. I love prophecy, but I know a lot and I've heard a lot and the truth is, and I'm talking, I know a lot specifically about this kind of thing, the truth is hypocrites can prophesy. I love healing miracles. Matthew chapter seven says, there are workers of miracles who will one day stand before the Lord and He'll say, I never knew you. By the way, they were relying on their works. Did we not? Legalism. I love discernment. I love the gift of tongues. I love deliverance. I love dreams and visions. I love it when people are slain in the Spirit. It's a wonderful phenomenon.  But all of those things, though they are somewhat in and of themselves signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit, there is no sign greater of the presence of the Holy Spirit. There is no weightier evidence than the character and the nature of Christ in you. I can prophesy. Are you nice? Watch, I can lay hands on the sick. I can cast out devils. Where's your humility? Show me that. That'll impress me more. Seven sons of Sceva could drive. You know how easy it is to drive a demon out? It's the name of Jesus does the work. Where's the humility? Where's the love? Where's the compassion? Where's the patience? Even I get convicted talking like this. You don't know how it is when I read the Bible. I'm constantly saying there are so many ways I'm not like you, Lord. Like, really help me here. You can say amen to that so I don't feel all alone. You in the chat too, please say amen to that. But in all seriousness, that is the greatest evidence.  And that's what begins to take place in that fellowship with the Spirit. He begins to change that image. He begins to transform you in ways you never thought you could be transformed. Well, this is the way I was raised. This is according to my culture. This is what we believe. We must submit ourselves to the standard that is the life of Christ. Yes, there's power. Acts 10, 38. Jesus of Nazareth went about doing good, healing all who are oppressed by the devil when God anointed him with the Holy Spirit. But are you like him? Do you have his compassion? His mercy? You know, friends of the Holy Spirit, they actually have joy. I don't know where we get this idea that the more spiritual you are, the more stoic and serious you become.  But I think sometimes we think we have to act a certain way in order to be perceived a certain way. And we're doing our impression of what we think a Spirit-filled Christian looks like. Walking around just, do you know that people of the Spirit, there's a joy about them? People of the Spirit, you know you're talking to them because they don't make you feel small. People of the Spirit, you know that you're talking to someone of the Spirit because there's compassion in their eyes. I want that friendship with him to be more and more like him as I'm changed into that glorious image.
