Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Count Williams, and Emma Rotakano has been honored with an MBE, giving out to her by King Charles in the last 24 hours or so, and this is a big honor for someone like Rotakano who's only 20 years old. Let's go have a look at what she put on social media and also talk a little bit about what is an MBE. That's what Rotakano had to say over on Instagram, a great honor receiving an MBE from His Majesty the King today. Pretty amazing day. AM MBE PM NTC. So most of you who are not in the UK are probably thinking what is an MBE? Does that mean that she's a Dame or anything of significance? So it's actually a member of the most excellent order of the British Empire. The third highest ranking order of the British Empire award behind CBE and then OBE. The MBE is awarded for an outstanding achievement or service to the community which has had a long-term significant impact. And other people that have got the same as Rotakano, Adele, Steven Gerrard, Ed Sheeran and Harry Kane have all been given MBEs over their careers. So they have it. That is what an MBE is and that is what Rotakano has gotten because of her achievement at the US Open at such a young age and also being a qualifier, winning the US Open, being British and winning the US Open. All those things that are very, very rare or have even never happened before in the sport of tennis. So she's been honored because of that. Leave it down in the comments below. Do you think she deserves this honor? I know a lot of people over the last 12 months have probably been a little harsh on her because she hasn't really been able to back up that achievement, but it was an achievement. I mean, remember that US Open in 2021?  And even though she hasn't done anything since, I'm sure she'll get back to those heights eventually. But leave it down in the comments below. What do you think about this honor that Rotakano has been given?

I really appreciate it. Thank you so much. May you be blessed wherever you are. Thank you so much. In today's video, we are going to look at the latest travel restrictions. Remember, we talked about the travel restrictions around the world. When we talk about the travel restrictions, something that always have to come in mind is what we call the grobo pandemic. That is the COVID-19 grobo pandemic. That is bringing all the restrictions around the world. In the latest video, I talked about the travel restrictions being put in place by UAE on different countries. That started on December 26 of this year. Very many countries were being restricted. Inbound flights to the UAE were stopped or cancelled for further reasons or for any reasons that were explained by authorities at that time. Why? At that time, all those travelers from this country were restricted to go to UAE until further notice. All flights were cancelled out in one way or the other. In today's video, I want us to try to talk about the breaking news right now. The breaking news is that another country has been added on the travel restricted countries in the UAE. And what country are we talking about? We are talking about our brothers and sisters coming from Uganda. All the flights that are coming from Uganda have been restricted or banned to go to the UAE or Dubai or Abu Dhabi or Syriza in any way, in any embrace of the UAE. What does it mean for all those people that had booking flights to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Syriza or other Emirates of Dubai or other Emirates of UAE or had transist flights through Dubai. All the flights have been cancelled until further notice. It comes into effect after the neighbors, Kenya, Tanzania, Randa and Nigeria and all other countries have been banned to have flights in the UAE. What does it mean to you as a traveler? Youres have to be prepared. Youres have to make sure that you check the website of that country that you wish to travel before you can get to travel to avoid disappointments in one way or another because very many restrictions are moving on around the world and this is exactly... we cannot lower it out because of the pandemic because of the new Omakron Ballad of the COVID-19 all countries are trying to protect its citizens away from the pandemic and they will do to expect that the 12 restrictions will be on. So what do you need to do? You need to prepare yourself in advance. You need to check out the government website. You need to check out what website you are going to. You need to travel the travel requirements. What are those requirements that you need to go to that country before you get disappointed in one or the other and secondly, something that I would advise my followers or my subscribers that get vaccinated is the only way we are going to get out of this because remember, if a flight is cancelled very many people are being affected in one or the other but still I would advise you if you get vaccinated it's the only way my brothers and sisters are going to come to this country to move out of the country the only ticket that is going to come the only requirement one of the requirement that will be coming in the time that we expect is that you will have what you call a vaccine they will require you to be vaccinated for you to travel so it's going to be part of the requirements we never have to rule it out in one way or the other but still for those brothers and sisters from Uganda if the flight is cancelled please continuously check on the website or check with the airline and see when you resume the flight such that you don't have to miss out in any way or the other particular way but remember let us follow the SOPs given by the means of health or given by the response people so that we can also fight together this pre-doctoblast pandemic in one or the other if you suppose put on a mask put in a mask if you suppose for distancing use a sanitizer let us follow the restitution in Nano because this is the only way we can get to fight for this pandemic together that is the breaking news and the latest information we have don't forget to subscribe to this channel if you are new here don't forget to subscribe tune in this channel for all the latest personal development jobs and all inspirational advices thank you so much for coming back to this channel thank you so much for tuning this channel see you again in another video when you try to see other opportunities or try to see other information that keeps on flowing in one or the other don't forget to subscribe it's mixed from the Malcolm X TV it's mixed from Malcolm X mixed creation TV thank you so much see you again in another video when you try to get the latest information about the travel jobs and all other related information that you need to share to make sure that you have personal development see you again in the next video


Now, the speaker of the Benner State House of Assembly, Annemarie Isent, Dajo, has given a seventh ultimatum to the Secretary of Justice to the Governor to provide a solution to repeated attacks on Benner people. The directive came on the matters of public importance after lawmakers at the floor of the House have expressed their differences fully loss of lives by the attacks. Now, Speaker, Annemarie Dajo and the House have summoned the Secretary of Justice, Annemarie Isent, Dajo, as well as the Secretary of Justice on internal affairs to prove the House's unsacred situation in the state. As a state of emergency, on a security wise, a law was set by this honorable House. And to the best of my knowledge, this law has not been repeated. What has happened to the Livestock Guard? Is it Livestock Guard or Community Voluntary Guard? What has happened to all of them? Resolve one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. They all take it, right? Now, I'm not feeling satisfied after deliberations. The Speaker gave a seventh-day margin order for them to come up with solution by Tuesday. The Secretary of Justice on external, the Secretary of Justice on internal, the two commanders today is Tuesday. And we are giving you a margin order between now and Tuesday. And I say for Annemarie, the account is not a given to the people we know. And if you fail to do this to him, the House has the power to call for your arrest. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.

A quick note from Scott Donnelly. The following story was written by fellow indie author and friend Steve Kane in 2020 for an earlier version of MicroTerrors, but was ultimately confirmed by Steve for a November 2023 release on February 20 of this year. Seven days later, Steve's life as well as his sons were tragically and senselessly taken from this world. Steve was a wonderful soul, a very talented writer, and I'm honored to have him leave his fingerprints on MicroTerrors. Please enjoy Steve's story, wishbone. Spine-tingling spooks. MicroTerrors are family-friendly frights for those ages eight and up, and while our stories are for younger years, we are still talking about things that go bump in the night, and some children may not be able to handle what others can. Parental consent is recommended. Now for tonight's MicroTerror. Wishbone by Steve Kane. Everything smelled delicious. There was roasted turkey, cornbread stuffing, sweet potatoes with marshmallows and raisins on top, green beans with bits of ham cooked in, homemade buttermilk biscuits and cranberry sauce. The cranberry sauce was the kind that had real berries, not that jelly to stuff. The house was awash with the aroma of Thanksgiving. Toby's stomach was rumbling as he set the table, plates, glasses, napkins, knives, forks, trivets for hot plates, salt and pepper, and butter, plus hot sauce for Uncle Lou. Toby's older brother Wayne and their dad were in the living room watching football, of course, and could not be bothered to help out in the kitchen or dining room. The Browns were playing some team in Navy Blue Jerseys with a C on their helmets. We guessed the Browns were losing, since all he heard from the living room were groans, expletives, and the occasional belch or other bodily air expulsions. Toby didn't care for public displays of air, and he didn't care for sports in general. He knew he'd be expected to be outside later that afternoon for the annual family game of football. It was cloudy, and he was hoping for rain, praying for rain. It was always a free-for-all out on the lawn. Gina and Harley, his cousins, would always tackle him, even though it was touch football. Sometimes, just for fun, his own brother would tackle him, and everyone would laugh, including his father and his Uncle Lou. Please rain, Toby prayed to the gods of Thanksgiving. In return, there was a low rumble of thunder. Yes, Toby thought. The doorbell rang, and Toby's heart pounded heavy in his chest. They're here, he groaned. His mother asked him to go answer the door. Toby looked at her pleadingly, but she just gave him the go-ahead signal with her oven-mittant hand. Head down, Toby walked down the hall past the living room to the front door. He peeked out the door window, and at first he thought they were being invaded by aliens. Turns out it was just Uncle Lou, Aunt Celine, and his horrible cousins Harley and Gina. He chuckled to himself when he thought of his secret nickname for Harley, Hurley, as in, I'm gonna hurl. He didn't have a nickname for his other cousin. Gina was bad enough sounding by itself. He opened the door cautiously, but it was forced open by Harley, who plowed his way in, followed by Gina, who was a foot taller and hairier than her little brother. They both towered over Toby, who felt like the shrimp they called him. Uncle Lou strutted in with the nauseating odors of aqua-velva and slim gyms. He tussled Toby's hair, muttered a, hey kiddo, and joined his dad Wayne and the cousin's cruel around the tube. Aunt Celine was a little better, but she was evil by osmosis. She bent down, gave Toby a hug, and said, happy Thanksgiving, and waltzed into the kitchen. Toby stood at the door for a moment, looking at the dark clouds, please rain. Behind the clouds he could see the sun trying to peek out. He closed and locked the door, turned, and trudged back down the hall. After pouring milk for himself and the other kids, the family gathered into the dining room for dinner. Toby's mother and aunt had a glass of wine each, and his father and Uncle Lou had cans of beer. The football game in the living room was forgotten. The Browns had no chance. Toby's dad had carved the turkey, and it was heaped on a plate. To the side, on a smaller dish was the turkey's wishbone. The bone looked like an upside-down V with a little notch on the end. Toby was excited. This year was his and Wayne's turn to do the wishbone. Last year was his cousin's turn. They alternated each year. Toby's mother motioned to Toby and Wayne, and they stood up and went to the head of the table. Wayne picked up the wishbone off the plate and held one end out to Toby. He grasped it with his left hand. Now, boys, make a wish, Toby's father said. The boys looked at each other and Wayne grinned. He was bigger. He was stronger. Of course he was going to get the bigger piece of the wishbone. He always did. Are you ready? Wayne asked his brother. Toby looked around the room at all the faces of his family. They were all staring at him. Harley had stuck a piece of turkey and was chomping on it. Not yet. I haven't wished. Hurry up! Gina snarled. I'm hungry. Yeah, me too. Chimed Harley.  You ready, tackling dummy? Toby looked around again. He was nervous. Wayne was smiling and his teeth looked like fangs. Everyone at the table looked like monsters. Wayne, Toby's dad, Toby's mom, Harley, Gina, Aunt Celine, Uncle Lou, they all looked like hideous monster aliens. Football! Chanted Gina. And everyone joined in. Football! Football! Football! Football! No! Toby cried.  I hate it. He tried to pull on the wishbone, but Wayne held on. Football! Football! Football!  Football! Football! Football! Football! The voices grew louder. No! shouted Toby.  Football! Football! Football! Football!  The family had taken up knives and forks that were banging them on the table in time with their chanting, which grew steadily louder. Football! Football! Football! Football! Football! Football! Football! Football! Football! Football! Football!  If you all love football so much, you should all be footballs. I wish you were footballs. Toby yanked on the wishbone. Wayne yanked back. They pulled and pulled, and the wishbone snapped. Wayne fell backwards onto the dining room table. Turkey gravy and stuffing went flying through the air. Toby's mother screamed. Then everything went silent. Toby looked down at his greasy hand. He had the largest piece of the wishbone. He smiled and looked around at the now messy dining room. None of his family members were there. Where were they? He looked again.  It was a football. Toby went around the table. In each chair was a football where one of his family members had sat. On the floor next to the refrigerator was another football where Wayne had fallen. His entire family were footballs. Toby looked again at the wishbone in his hand. It had worked. Toby didn't know whether he should be happy or horrified. He decided on happy.  It was delicious. He took a bite of stuffing from the serving spoon. It was delicious. He ate a bite of cranberry sauce with real berries. It was delicious. Everything was wonderful. When he had tried a bit of everything and was full, Toby belched loudly.  It had begun to lightly snow. No rain. He took a ball out of the bag. He didn't know who was who, but he pretended this one was Wayne. He held the ball in front of him, dropped it and raised his leg to punt the ball. He missed and the ball hit the ground. He picked it up again and tried it again. This time his foot hit the ball and the ball rose 10 feet in the air and landed a few feet away. It felt good. He took another ball out of the bag, Gina. He held it out in front of him, dropped it and punted. The ball sailed about 20 feet into the air and about 15 feet away. Not bad. Toby smiled and took another ball out of the bag. Hurley. He punted again. This one soared over the house into the front yard. Toby raised his hands in the air like he was signaling a touchdown. Score! He screamed at the top of his lungs. He knew that wasn't right, but it was his football game, his rules. One by one, Toby removed the balls from the bag and punted them, naming them as they flew. Finally, the bag was empty. He held the last ball in his small hands. Mom. He held the ball out in front of him, but he didn't drop it. Mom. He looked down at the brown leather. He ran his fingers over the white lacing. Mom. He pulled the ball back in and held it against his chest. Hugging it tightly. A tear rolled down his cheek. Mom. What had he done? Back inside the house, Toby looked around the dining room at the massacre that had been dinner. He looked at the empty chairs. He looked at the mess of gravy on the table and the floor. He was no longer hungry. His part of the wishbone sat on the edge of the table where he had left it. Wayne's piece was on the floor. He picked up both pieces and held them in his right hand, his left hand holding the mom football. Toby was crying. He was tired. Toby put both pieces of the wishbone in his back pocket and climbed the stairs, holding on to the handrail as he went. His room was warm and inviting. He climbed into bed and closed his eyes. The football was tucked under his arm. Toby! A voice called out. It was his mother's voice. He jerked away and the football he'd been holding fell to the floor. What? He thought, what's going on? He heard his mother's voice again. Toby, can you come down please? I need you to set the table. Toby rubbed his eyes and looked at the football on his bedroom floor. It had a red bow wrapped around it. There was a little card that Toby hadn't noticed. He picked it up and read it. Toby, I got you a new football. I know you don't like to play, but it will be fun this year. I'll make sure Gina and Harley go easy on you. Signed Wayne. Toby's mouth was a gape. Wayne had never really been nice to him. He picked up the football and looked at it. It was brand new and shiny. It felt smooth. It was smaller than their other football and it felt just right for his small hands. He held it close to him and smiled. Coming mom, Toby yelled as he started out of his room and ran down the steps. He could smell all the Thanksgiving food and his stomach growled. On the way to the kitchen Toby passed the living room and looked in. His dad and Wayne were watching the game. Chicago, Toby said out loud, the bears. Wayne looked up and saw Toby holding the football. He gave him a wink. You like it? Wayne asked. I love it. Toby replied. Thank you. Wayne nodded and gave him a thumbs up. Toby went into the dining room to set the table. His aunt, uncle and cousins would be there soon. For listening to Microtarrows, join us each Saturday for another scary story.

John chapter 14 verses 16 through 18. In John chapter 14, I'll begin reading at verse 16, read to verse 18, and we'll begin our study. In John 14 verse 16 Jesus said this. He said, I will pray the Father and He will give you another helper that He may abide with you forever. The Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him, but you know Him for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you. Now as we begin let me remind you of what we have seen previous to this. In verse 15 Jesus had just connected obedience to Him with love for Him. Remember He had said in verse 15, if you love me keep my commandments. So He connected obedience to Him with love for Him and He said, if you love me keep. Now that word keep in verse 15 is speaking of a habit of obedience. It's not a one time kind of, I will obey you, but it's a lifetime of obedience that He's speaking about. And so He says, if you love me you're gonna habitually and continually have as a desire in your life to obey me. It's a lifetime of obedience, not occasional obedience. You see a desire to live in obedience to the Word of God is actually one of the earmarks of a Christian. It is what has been referred to as a visible expression of living faith. One of the devotional writers that I like is named as A.W. Tozer. A.W. Tozer said this. Tozer said, faith is a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ. So a growing hunger to please the Lord is one of the ways you can internally know that you love Him. You see those who do not desire to follow His Word, those who don't desire to obey Him, don't know Him. This desire and discipline are evidences of genuine faith in Jesus Christ. In 1 John in chapter 2 verses 3 through 5, John said, by this we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. He who says I know Him and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in Him. But whoever keeps His Word truly the love of God is perfected in Him. And by this we know that we are in Him. You see, obedience, a desire to obey is an earmark of somebody who has committed their heart to Christ. A person who doesn't have a desire to habitually obey to follow Him according to His Word, well that's a way for them to know that they don't have a relationship with God. That's a way to know you don't know Him. If you don't have a hunger in your heart to do those things that please Him, John would say you don't know Him because to know Him is to love Him. And to love Him is to obey Him. And so the bottom line is one of the evidences that I really know Christ is to have a genuine faith that is rooted in obedience. And so love for the Lord motivates us to obey Him. Our obedience isn't built on a desire to obtain something from Him alone. It's built on a love for Him that results in our desiring to do what He commands. My wife and I, being married and all, there are things that we, as a married couple, that we do for one another. And it's not because I'm afraid she's not going to love me. It's because I love her. If I know there are things that please her, those are the things I want to do. If she asks me to do something, I do it not because I'm afraid of her, though she is a very fear, she makes me scared all the time, but it's not because I'm afraid of her, it's because I love her. It's because it pleases her. It's because I want her happy. It's because I want her to know how deeply I love her. And so your response in obedience isn't some kind of legalistic thing like, I'd better do this because if I don't do this, then I don't have a relationship with God. It's, no, I want to do this because I have a relationship with God. And John says this is how you can know. Do you have a constant burning desire to please Him? Do you have a hunger within your heart to do those things that are pleasing because we have a love for God? And now that's what motivated us to go online. And by the way, that's why we, we're willing to suspend live church services. It isn't an obedience to the government because we're afraid that they were going to come in and close down our church. I didn't make the decision to go online because of that. I respect the government. I yield to the government as, insofar as it does not contradict what Scripture plainly says, we ought to obey God rather than man, the apostles taught us. And that's absolutely true. But the reason we went online isn't simply to obey the government. I'm not compromising my integrity and I'm not compromising my faith by going online. You know, frankly, this lockdown on churches has clearly revealed the world's view of the church clearly is revealed. The world really thinks of us because church gatherings and the teaching of the word of God is not regarded as essential. We're not on the list of things that are essential, which is interesting because when you look at lists, and I did this, I went to Almighty Google and said, what are essentials right now? What are regarded as essentials? And there was a list and I won't go through all of them, but listen to some of the things that are regarded by our government as essential, liquor stores, hardware stores, farmers markets, marijuana dispensaries, florists, abortion providers, cost goes and the like, gun stores, Starbucks, drive-ins, drive-ins are essential. Just this last Easter on the weekend of Good Friday into Easter, one of the local drive-ins that we have, we still have drive-ins around, one of the local drive-ins was still doing business, they were still having people pull up and all, but if you wanted to drive in church in some places, you would have gotten citations and fines. So a drive-in was okay. An abortion provider is okay. A liquor store is still okay. You stand in line to get into a Costco and you're right next to a person in front of you and that's okay, but gathering in your cars in a parking lot for a church service, you can get fined, you can get cited. And then the world has never regarded the church, but if there's nothing more plain than that for us to see, then perhaps we're not looking. You see it's revealing that church services, even when they conform to the guidelines, are still regarded as non-essential. So it would seem obvious that the devil wants to silence the voice of the church. He wants us to not be able to say Jesus is alive. He wanted us not to be able to praise God together as an assembly of faithful people saying, God is alive. Our only hope is Jesus Christ. He wanted to silence the voice of the church, but he can't. In 2 Timothy chapter 2 verse 9, Paul said that the word of God is not changed. Right now, we are reaching more people than we ever have through online church services. People who don't normally attend church services are now watching us online. Remember in Matthew 16, 18, Jesus said, the gates of Haiti shall not prevail against his church. And we're not compromising by following our government standards. We're remaining faithful to the Lord, and we're seeking ways to get the message out. If he tries to close this door, we're going to look for another door. That gospel is going to get out. The message is going to continue to proceed, and that's what the message is intended to do. If you don't compromise, we are simply finding ways, and the Holy Spirit is inspiring us, and we'll see this in a moment. But we're going to remain faithful to the Lord. We'll seek ways to get his message out. In 2 Timothy chapter 4 verse 2, Paul said it like this, he said, preach the word, be ready in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering in teaching, be ready in season and out of season. We are in one of those moments, guys, that is out of season. But where do we to be? Ready. So if you try to close the door, enemy, we'll find a way to get in. And that's what we've done. And we're having more people watching our church services in over 30 countries watching our church services. Because what we did is we didn't compromise, we adapted. And as we adapted, the word kept and is keeping going forward. The word cannot be stopped. When Paul was incarcerated in Rome, it could have seemed that the gospel progress halted. He had been jailed for some time, and it could appear that the ministry that God had given to him had ended. But that wasn't true. Paul was placed under house arrest, but he's still ministered. All you need to do is look at the book of Acts in chapter 28, verse 16. And that verse tells us that Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him, with the soldier who guarded him, though he was imprisoned, God's word was not. And the things that he went through ultimately turned out for good for the sake of the gospel. Because he wrote in Philippians chapter 1, verses 12 and 13, I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard and all the rest that my chains are in Christ. So that soldier who was there guarding him got the gospel. And then the one who took the next turn got the gospel. And he was able to take this message to the whole palace guard, something that wouldn't have been possible had he not been incarcerated. Word of God has not changed. The Word of God has a way of getting out. You see, Satan has made a great error in thinking he can stop the gospel. He has made a mistake in thinking he can stop the progress of the gospel of Jesus Christ. And so because we love him, we keep his commandments. And part of his command is to continue proclaiming the message of the gospel. And here's something else I want to point as I'm about to move into verse 16, but I want to point one more thing out. Notice again, verse 15, if you love me, keep my commandments. You do love him. And we do want to keep his word. We want to keep his commandments. Now even that night, Jesus had given many commandments. Sometimes we who are filled with the love of the grace of God, we may forget that God still gives commandments and the New Testament is filled with commandments. And if you're reading your Bible, you're going to see this because just that night, Jesus had given several commands in John 13, for example, verse 34, he had said this, a new commandment I give to you that you love one another as I have loved you that you love one another. That's a command. A new command I give to you. He had already given a commandment to love one another. In chapter 14, when we began chapter 14, verse one, he began by saying, let not your heart be troubled. That's a command. Let not your heart be troubled. Let not speaks of volition. I have the ability to allow my heart to be troubled. But he commanded me not to. Why? Because I cast my cares on him because he cares for me. And so he's commanded me not to live in fear. Let not my heart be filled with anxiety. And then he said in chapter 14, verse one, the second portion, he said, you believe in God. Here's your command. Believe also in me. Let not your heart be troubled command. You believe in God. Believe also in me. Another command. And so he gave many commands in chapter 14. He went on in verse 11 to say this, believe me that I am in the father and the father and me, or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves. What's that? A command to believe, to believe in him, his words and to believe in his works. He's been giving a series of commands. And that's why he can say, if you love me, keep my commandments. And I've told you to love one another. I've told you to believe in me. I've told you these things because these are things that'll help you and strengthen you and will make you what you're supposed to be. You see, in the atmosphere of faith, love and obedience, Jesus now begins to share with them concerning the Holy Spirit. One of the problems that the church has today that I'll address for a moment is that we're trying to do God's work in the power of our own flesh. Of all people, we should know better. And yet here we are trying to do God's work with our own ingenuity and our own plans.  I was broken before God. When the announcement came on the news that there was going to be no longer assembling allowed, my son, Joseph, whose home is being worked on right now, he and his wife and my precious little granddaughter are living with us. And Joseph was sitting across from me and I looked at him and I said, this is just not good news, son. This is not good news. And he looked at me, you know, and my son's in the medical field. He's a, he's a registered nurse and he went to Biola, one of the finest nursing programs in the nation. And he also instructs for Biola. He goes out, he's an instructor. This, this, this man knows his job. And he's now a hospital administrator overseeing two hospitals. My son is very well schooled and very greatly experienced in nursing. So naturally I can ask him questions because he knows he has the meetings, he and all that. And he's sitting there across from me and, and I looked at him and I said, this is not good news, son. And he goes, no, I said, no son. I said, my church, our fellowship is built on the principle of assembling together. We are a Jesus people community. I said the emphasis of my ministry comes all the way back. It's not just the scripture. Of course, it's the scripture, but it's my tradition. I came from the Jesus people movement. I'm a Jesus freak and we value fellowship. We value it. That's our heartbeat is to be together.  And so that pillar that has made this church, the loving fellowship that it is, the enemy just took a saw to it guys to try and tear it down because we're not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together as a manner of some is because when you read your Bible for Max and the church has been birth, the first thing they did is they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and breaking a bread and prayer and all of those things that made the church what the church is. And that's what we're built on. Some people don't value fellowship as much as I do. I value it. I'm a person person. And the idea that I could not be with my fellowship with my church to see my people. And I was sitting there looking at my son and I cried. I began to cry. I said, you don't understand what this is going to do because I don't want the sheep to be scattered. You smite the shepherd and the sheep are scattered. Not everybody cares about those things because some churches are built in other things. But our church is built on Jesus Christ, the chief cornerstone and fellowship with one another and his word in the spirit, worship. And I teared up and I said, this is hitting me really hard, son. It's hitting me very hard. But you know what the Lord has done in the midst of all of this? He has strengthened the hearts of the brethren. Our church has become stronger. I still long to get together with our people. I'm looking forward to the celebration we're going to have when we're able to do it once again. But I forgot for a moment. And so the next day I was driving and some of you know this story. I'll say it briefly. I was years ago when our church was very young. I was, as a pastor, we were looking for a place to meet and doors were being closed and it looked like we were not going to have a place to meet as a church. And I was driving home and I was crying to the Lord crying out to him and physically crying. I said, Father, I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't know what I'm going to do. And I cried to him about it. And the voice of the Lord, I believe it was his voice spoke to my heart and he said, I did not raise you up to let you fall. That's Philippians chapter one verse six, by the way, he continues to the work that he began. But his voice spoke and said that. And those are words I'll always remember. I did not raise you up to let you fall. And I came home and everything turned out well. And we got property we were looking to get and church continued to move in the way that that honored God. And the next day after I had shared with Joseph and I was on my way to work here, the spirit of the Lord reminded me of what he had said earlier. And that's why I'm not worried about it anymore. I'm not concerned about not because I don't care. I do care, but because I know that this church has been built on Jesus Christ. And I know it's built on his word. And I know it's built on the love of God.  We're praying for you pastor. That's this church. That's this church. You're not a group that has a quote unquote celebrity pastor. We're a group of people who have Jesus Christ as our great shepherd. And he has brought us together and he's kept us together. And this, by the way, is what the Holy Spirit intends to do. And that's what Jesus is speaking about here. He's talking about the power of the Holy Spirit. Now up to this point, John hasn't given a great deal of information concerning the work of the spirit. He has spoken of the spirit. And let me review a few things with you for a moment, but he hasn't given much detail concerning him all the way back in chapter one, verse 32. Remember how John the Baptist, John bore witness saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven like a dove and remain, remaining on him. So there's a mention of the Holy Spirit. And we saw John mentioned the spirit in chapter three, verses five and six, when Nicodemus came and spoke to Jesus and Jesus answered and said, most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the spirit is spirit. And he spoke of regeneration. People are not Christians because they're watching a Bible study right now. People are Christians because the Holy Spirit has given them new life. And so he said, that which is born of the spirit. Then we saw in chapter four, verse 24, when Jesus was speaking to a Samaritan woman and he said, God is spirit. Those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.  He is the life-giving spirit. And then in John 7.38 and 39 at the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus said, he who believes in me, as the scripture has laid, has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. And then John went on to say, this he spoke concerning the spirit whom those believing in him would receive for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified. So Jesus now is giving more detail concerning the person of the Holy Spirit. Notice in verse 16, how he said, I will pray the Father and he will give you another helper that he may abide with you forever. Another helper, a la paracletas. When he says another helper, that's the Greek, one of the same kind who comes alongside the paracletas is a lawyer, a defender. So he's saying, I'm about to leave you, but you will not be without help. You will have an advocate. You'll have a helper. And this helper will make sure that you're not orphaned, that you are not without natural support. This helper will not be another human being. This helper will be like him. Now remember Jesus was their defender, their champion, their helper while he was with them on earth. It was Jesus who kept them safe from those who would harm or oppose them. All you need to do is look at the various times and people confronted the apostles and you'd see Jesus on the scene defending and protecting them. Well, he's about to leave them, but he will not leave them unprotected. He begins to teach them about the Holy Spirit and he begins to reveal person of the Spirit as well as the work of the Spirit and he begins, and notice as he does this, he begins by acting as the mediator because he says in verse 16, I will pray the Father. So Jesus is acting as the mediator. He says, I will pray. And he speaks concerning the Spirit what the Spirit will do in verse 16. He abides with you forever. In verse 17, he is the Spirit of truth. In verse 17, the world cannot receive him because it neither sees him nor knows him. And again in verse 17, believers will know him for he dwells with you and he will be in you. Now notice how he says the Spirit abides with you forever. Jesus remained with the disciples for a limited time. His ministry on on earth with his disciples was limited in time three years, some say as much as three and a half years, but three years. But Jesus' time on earth with his disciples was limited because he went to the Father. But he's saying the Holy Spirit will remain with you throughout the rest of your life. Somebody said not that he should remain with you a few years, as I have done, and then leave you, but be with you in all places to the close of your life. He shall be your constant guide and attendant. He will not, he will not leave you. He will remain with you. Remember in the Old Testament how the Holy Spirit would descend, work in somebody, but also be removed? Remember how that in Judges, the Old Testament book of Judges, chapter 16, verse 20, how that Samson did not know that the Lord had departed from him? Or how in 1 Samuel chapter 16, verse 14, which tells us that the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul? Remember the prayer of David in Psalm 51, verse 11, do not cast me away from your presence. Do not take your Holy Spirit from me. That's how the Holy Spirit would work in the Old Testament. The Holy Spirit is present, but he didn't remain forever. In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit would come upon, anoint for, but leave, and that's why David would say, take not thy Holy Spirit from me. That's why Samson didn't even realize the Spirit had departed, and that's why God removed the Spirit from Saul, because the Holy Spirit came to anoint, to work, but then to leave, but not in the New Testament. Jesus is saying the Spirit will abide with a believer forever. In Ephesians 4, verse 30, do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  The Holy Spirit does that. Do you walk in the Spirit, guys? Here's a question for us. Do you walk in the Spirit? Do you wake up in the morning and say, God, fill me today? Work in me today? God, work in me today? God, awaken me? Awaken me to your power? Awaken me to your presence? Do you know when the easiest place is the backslide is on a church staff? The things that you were doing that got you on the staff sometimes go to the wayside and your job takes over. You need to wake up in the morning and you need to say, God, fill me today. May the fruit of your Spirit be in me. I'm speaking from experience.  First thing. First thing, I'm tearing up saying, God, what are we going to do? And I'm telling my son, Joseph, you don't understand. You don't understand what I'm going through. And the next day the Lord has to remind me, I said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. I raise this church up to bring glory to Jesus Christ. I'm not going to stop my work. I had to remind myself, guys, do you have to do the same? You can get caught up in your jobs. You can get caught up in your life and you can quench the Holy Spirit. And before you know it, everything you're doing is flesh to try and try to keep people coming. When you need to do what I've done and what I do and I'm saying this as a sinner confessing it to you. I cry and say, God, help me. I can't do it without you. I can't. A church is not a business. It's not just an organization. Church is an organism. It's a living reality, an entity of life. And it's known by something. It's known by the power of the Spirit and the presence of the Spirit who produces the fruit of the Spirit. And Jesus said, I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you. I will be with you to the end. The Holy Spirit is with us. We need to remember that. Maybe somebody right now who's listening to the study needs to remember that he's with you. He hasn't left you. He's also referred to as the Spirit of Truth. Remember how that Jesus spoke of himself as being the way, the truth and the life. Well, it's the Holy Spirit and we'll see this as we go through John 14 following for a while. It's the Holy Spirit who reveals and communicates truth. He reveals to us first and foremost who Jesus is. He's the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment according to John 16.8. And he awakens us to our need for salvation and our need for the Lord Jesus Christ. And he testifies of Jesus. He guides us to truth. He glorifies and reveals the Lord Jesus Christ. In 1 Corinthians 12.3, Paul said, therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus a cursed and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. Salvation originates with him through his conviction and it is he who convinces us that Jesus Christ is who Jesus says he is. You see, if I'm able to convince somebody of Jesus who he is to argument, then somebody else through their argumentation can convince them that Jesus isn't what I just convinced them that he is. But when the Holy Spirit convicts, nobody can convince you otherwise. When the Holy Spirit convicts you that Jesus Christ is Lord, you can have someone knock on your door and say, I represent this faith or that faith, this belief system or that belief system. And you'll smile at them and you'll give them Christ because it's Jesus Christ that they need, not that religious system, right? That's what you do. Nobody can convince me that Jesus Christ is not Lord. Nobody could. Nobody can take that away because it's a Holy Spirit who convinced me. No one calls Jesus Lord but by the Spirit. Keep that in mind because sometimes people may come forward in quote unquote an invitation when in fact there are a thousand and one different reasons they came forward. But if they truly repented, truly confessed their sin, truly asked God, be merciful to me as sinner and truly said, God, come into my life and forgive me. Make me your temple and the Holy Spirit takes residence. From that day on, there are new creation, old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. That's what took place in my life and in our lives. And that's possible for you right now to take place for those of you who are watching. You see, non-Christians are not familiar with the work of the Spirit. They can't discern Him. Their lives are familiar only with that which is material. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2.14, the natural man doesn't receive the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to Him and neither can he know them because they're spiritually discerned. A natural man is another way of speaking of a man who's not a Christian, a person who's not saved. A natural man, and he says, does not receive, the word received means to welcome or accept. A natural man, an unspiritual man does not welcome or accept the things of the Spirit of God. Why? Because they are foolishness. The word foolishness means moronic or imbecilic. It means it doesn't make any sense. The natural man received it, not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to Him. So go and speak to somebody about Jesus Christ and tell them that Jesus Christ died on a cross, was buried, but three days later rose from the dead and see what they say. Go tell that to Bill Maher. Go tell that to Poopy Goldberg and all the rest of the intellectuals that we see flooding the TV screens with their bile. The bottom line is it takes the Holy Spirit to convince the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and they don't discern these things because they don't receive them. These are those who reject the Lord. They reject that Jesus is the only way to God. And they're content believing that everybody automatically goes to heaven, but if that were the case, guys, if everybody automatically goes to heaven, there is no reason to ever preach the gospel. There's no reason to. Why would I preach the gospel? Everybody gets to go.  And only people like Stalin or Lenin or Mao or named the dictator.  That's not what the Bible says. The Bible says there's none good, no, not one. There's not a single person that is good. And the only person who was ever good got crucified, Jesus Christ. And so we all need salvation. It's not that I can bring somebody up and compare my goodness to theirs and say, see, I'm a better person than this, because we can always find someone that we think we're better than. It's when I'm placed next to Jesus, you may be better than this person here, but are you better than this person here? Jesus and all of us would say no, not a single one of us is right. We all know that, but it takes the Holy Spirit to do that work. And then notice again in verse 17, he said that believers are going to know him, they're going to perceive and understand they're going to have a knowledge of him, how he dwells with you and will be in you. Now, up to this point, you've received a measure of truth, you believe in and know of the person of the Spirit, but the work that Jesus is speaking about is a future work. It's a work that is accomplished on the day of Pentecost. And on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came and descended upon 120 in an upper room, baptized him in the power of the Spirit and the church was birthed. And from that day forth, those who come to faith in Christ become temples of the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 3.16, do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? So it's not that he dwells in temples made with human hands, but God dwells in human beings. And when I received Christ as my Savior, I became his temple, he dwells in me and I'm brand new in him. 1 John 4.15 says, whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God. In Romans 8.9, you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now, if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his. So that means if I'm relying on my religion and not a relationship with God, if that means that I'm going to trust in the different things I've gone through in my religious background as my means of entering into heaven, I've made a great mistake. For me in my history, I received baptism as a little as an infant. I went through communion. I went through confirmation, received various sacraments because my religious background was Catholic, but I didn't know Jesus Christ. I had never opened my heart to him. I was relying more on believing what my mom had taught me and the church had taught me, but it was all intellectual because my life wasn't transformed. But when the Holy Spirit convicted me of my sin and I said, God forgive me a sinner. I was washed by the blood of Christ and became new in him. And like the Bible says, now I became the temple of the Spirit of God. And so are you. God's Spirit dwells in you. Don't forget that. That is the biggest mistake believers make, guys. It really is. We quench the Spirit. We don't wake up in the morning with that prayer. We don't go through the day saying, God help me. I can honestly say that's my life. I say to the Spirit, I say God in Jesus' name today, help me. Help me to have your heart. Help me to hear your voice. Help me to love your word. Help me to be a good husband to my wife. A good father to my children. A good grandfather to my grandbabies. A good pastor to my sheep. A good person in my community. It takes the Holy Spirit because other people may think I am a certain thing, but I know what I really am. And without God's Holy Spirit, every evil that a human being can do, I'm capable of doing. But with the Holy Spirit, he can restrain me and work in me and produce in me the fruit of the Spirit. We who serve him in the way that we do, we ought to be the ones who are the best examples of what the Holy Spirit does in a person's life. We ought to be the examples that people use when they say, what is it like to follow Christ? Well, I know somebody, I want to be like that. I want to be like that.  I will come to you. I will not leave you orphans. Word orphan. It speaks not only of those who are without a father. Of course, the word orphan speaks of the fatherless. But it also had another meaning during the day of Christ. It was also a way that people would be spoken of who did not have a rabbi, who did not have a teacher. It wasn't exclusive for, in other words, being a fatherless individual. But it could be used as a way of speaking of someone who doesn't have a spiritual leader. I will not leave you orphans. It's not simply saying, I'm not going to leave you without a daddy. It's deeper in a spiritual way than that. It's, I will not leave you without a teacher. The Holy Spirit is our teacher. You'll see this as we keep going through the chapters in front of us. I'm not going to leave you without support. I'm not going to leave you without a leader. He said, I will come to you. Now he had spoken about going away. And again, he makes it very clear he's going to come back. And his coming to them is going to contain at least three aspects, if you will. He once again will see them when he's resurrected from the dead. That's a short period of time. He will be with them at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descends on them. And in this fashion, they will have his presence. By the way, that's how you and I, that's how we can also have our rabbi, our leader, our teacher, is by having the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. You see, he's going to finally, once again, be with them when he returns. For us, we will be with him at the rapture. He will also be with people, if you will, at what is called the second coming. And the blessing we have is that he's, he's with us and never leaves us. Like it says in Isaiah 41, 10, fear not. I'm with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. And I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. You're not alone. You're not alone. You're never alone. Ever, ever, I will never. Even when you're in your room all by yourself and you think that it's just you in the darkness, you're never alone. You're never alone. He's always with you. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. And one of these, these days and it won't be that long, you will see him face to face. What's that day going to be like, guys? What is that day going to be like when you finally get to see him? I'm looking forward to that.   I was speaking to my grandson, Josiah, and I'll close with this. And I was teasing him last week. And I said, Well, you know, I'm an old man.  We were talking.  I said, you know, getting older. And this is what he said. He said, Well, Papa, I hope that it's at least 20 years.   You know, now the point I'm making is very simple, guys. One of these days, and it won't be long, whether it's 20 years, 30 years, five years or one, we get to see him face to face. I will never leave you. I will be with you forever. Think about that. When you're all alone, and you're concerned, you're never alone. You're never alone. You are never alone. It's always with you. It's closer to you than you can imagine. He's within you. He's guiding you. He's empowering you. He's comforting you.  And if you don't know the Lord, then you can't say that. Because right now you're his enemy. You're not his friend. But if you want to come to the Lord and you want to be right with God, you need to say, God, be merciful to me. I'm a sinner. Forgive me of my sins. Cleanse me.  I want to be the temple of the Spirit of God. I want to know you. And if you have a heart for that, you can do that. Let's close our eyes for a minute and pray. Let me share with you. If you want to give your heart to Jesus, you've been watching, and you may not be a believer, maybe just interested in what we talk about while this is your moment.  He sent us on Christ to die on a cross for you. Jesus was buried when he died. He resurrected from the dead three days later. He ascended into heaven. The Bible tells us, and he sends the Spirit to dwell in us.  Sincerely pray with faith. Father, I know that I'm a sinner. Jesus died on a cross to save sinners. Jesus died to save me. Forgive me of my sins. Cleanse me. Come into my life. I will follow you every day from this day forward. In Jesus' name, amen. God bless you.


Sss Hi there. If you're new to the Super Nintendo, and you wanna know the best games it has to offer, then here you go. This video is meant to be a guide to what I consider to be the essential games on the system, and I'm gonna list a few games in each genre to make sure I cover as much stuff as possible. I did have a video like this from ten years ago where I actually appeared on the camera with Clyde T Dogg in the background, and yeah, Clyde is still around and doing great, but that video badly needed an update. This one is going to feature over 50 games, and you know what, there's still going to be people mad in the comments that I didn't mention a certain game, but that just goes to show how great the Super Nintendo library is. I want to start out with a group of games that I'll refer to as the obvious category. These are the titles you likely already know about. They're all-time classics, and they still hold up extremely well today. Super Mario World is the most obvious of the obvious. It's the perfect continuation of the Mario series, introducing new power-ups and crazy levels like the Ghost Houses and the Star World. One reason this game has held up so well over time is that even if you finish it once, you can still go back and play it again without activating certain exclamation blocks, so it's almost like you can choose your own kind of challenge. In addition to that, I got to mention the massive influence this game has had over the ROM hacking community, with hundreds of folks spending years and years creating their own games based off of Mario World. If you're more into the NES Mario games, then you'll want Super Mario All-Stars, a package of all three official NES Mario games, along with the Lost Levels, otherwise known as the original Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2. This is an outstanding recreation of the original titles, and if you get the cartridge that's packaged with Super Mario World, you get the most bang for your buck of any single title on the Super Nintendo. The next obvious game is The Legend of Zelda, a link to the past. There's something about how simple this game is, at least at first. All you're doing is wandering around, slashing at enemies, occasionally finding items, solving simple puzzles, but what makes this game great is how it builds with more items like the hookshot or the magic rods, and the bosses get tougher and the puzzles get more complex, while keeping everything reasonably intuitive. This game lives on today through the link to the past randomizer, which I also highly recommend checking out if you can, but man, link to the past on its own is easily a top five Super Nintendo game. A while back, Nintendo released F-099 for Switch Online, and I couldn't be happier if nothing else then, because more people get to see how awesome this game is. It's another one in the obvious category for me. It's a well-balanced racing game that offers a serious challenge, and it's also one of the best launch titles of all time, if only because it showed that the Super Nintendo could easily keep up with the Sega Genesis. On the other end of the racing spectrum is Super Mario Kart, and this game is an obvious pick because of the one-on-one battle mode. I wouldn't be surprised if this game also got the 99 treatment. I'd love to see some new maps with 99 carts spread out with all sorts of craziness happening in every direction. And hey, the racing is pretty good too if you happen to be into that, although Donut Plains 3 and Rainbow Roads still give me nightmares. Of course, I gotta mention Donkey Kong Country. That's another obvious one, but I'm going to go to bat for the sequel, Donkey Kong Country 2, Diddy's Conquest. I personally would rather play this one today just because it's a lot of fun to play as Dixie, and the level design is the best you'll find on the console. It's right there with Mario World as the best SNES action platformer. There's tons of secrets, and you almost always feel rewarded for taking just an extra minute to explore around each level. Another action platformer that's way up there is Super Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island, although I gotta say the Super Mario World 2 part of the title is kind of misleading. That was added on to help boost sales in North America. This is Yoshi's adventure through and through. Most people know this game as the one where Mario cries. But don't let that dissuade you. Yoshi's Island has some of the most inventive level design you'll see in any 2D platformer. But if I had to pick THE best game on the Super Nintendo, I'm inclined to lean toward Super Metroid for a few reasons. One is that this game works brilliantly with any way you want to approach it. It's one of the most satisfying games to either speedrun or to get 100% take your pick. Or if you're brand new to this game, you'll simply enjoy the fantastic settings, the sequence breaks, the boss fights, and the music that adds so much to the entire experience. It's the total package of visuals, sound, action, exploration, tension, enemy design, boss design. You name it, this game has it. There's no such thing as Metroidvania if there isn't Super Metroid. Mega Man X is another absolute must. I think it's a top 5 Super Nintendo game. It's one of those titles where maybe you've played through it a few times over the years, but you're always down for one more go. The controls are perfect, and it always feels so satisfying to blast your way through each level, and the game does a nice job escalating the difficulty as you go. Plus, it's just downright fun to use some of these boss weapons that you get. I don't even use these on bosses necessarily, I'll just use them whenever. Or if you want a real challenge, you can try and finish the game with the arm cannon and no upgrades. Anyway, you want to play Mega Man X, it has a lot to offer. Super Castlevania IV is another action platformer, and it's another great example of a series making a hugely successful leap from the NES to the SNES. This game isn't as brutally difficult as the NES Castlevanias, but that's not a bad thing. Super Castlevania IV still captures the atmosphere in the essence of a classic horror-themed game, with great visuals, unique level and boss design, and some spectacular music. So this is another easy pick as a must-play for the Super Nintendo. Contra III The Alien Wars is one of those games where I don't even have to say anything. It's Contra, it's non-stop action. There's explosions, walls of fire, huge mini bosses, Terminators you have to defeat only to be met with a giant Terminator. You're hanging with one hand off a missile flying at a million miles an hour while shooting and dodging everything on screen. It's a non-stop adrenaline rush, and if you're looking for more of a challenge, then here you go. Contra III is one of the most rewarding games to complete. Now, from an aesthetic standpoint, here's the opposite end of the spectrum, Kirby Superstar. This title is actually seven games in one, with each game providing different objectives, whether it's exploring and finding treasure, fighting through a boss gauntlet, racing, or just, you know, playing through a normal action platformer. What really puts this game over the top is the multiplayer. You can create your own helper buddy, and a second player can take control. So this is a perfect game to play alongside younger kids, or just with people that aren't as familiar with gaming. It's a great time. Star Fox is a bit of a polarizing game. Certain aspects of it have aged poorly, like the frame rate and having stuff pop up in front of you out of nowhere, but I still think it belongs as an essential Super Nintendo game just because of its pickup and play quality. You're in a fighter jet shooting everything that moves flying through space set to this great music. There's just something so simple and satisfying about this game that, despite its flaws, I still think it's a lot of fun to play today. Now, let's get into specific genres, starting with puzzle games, and you can't go wrong with Tetris Attack. No, it's not exactly Tetris. It's actually called Panel de Pan in Japan, and I was likely given the Tetris name and the title to help sell the game, but whatever you want to call it, it's an easy game to get the hang of, but it's a tough game to master. It's a matter of matching squares and blocks of three while creating combinations that fall together. Sounds simple, it's not, but it's addictive, and it's the best puzzle game on the Super Nintendo. Goof Troop isn't the same kind of puzzle game as Tetris Attack, not even close really, but it's a great top-down action puzzle game that's my pick for the best Super Nintendo game to play with a second player. It's easy to get the hang of for all skill levels, the puzzles are intuitive without being too easy or too ridiculous, and it's got that Capcom Disney polish to it. This game is a must if you're looking for a good two-player game. Let's move on to beat-em-ups, and there's three that stand out for me. First is King of Dragons, a really well-made arcade port from Capcom. There's five playable characters with varying skill sets, and I like how quickly this game is paced. There's also interesting mechanics like the clear screen attacks being floating orbs that you have to hit. 16 levels may seem like a lot for a beat-em-up, but it goes by so quickly that you'll wish there were more. Next is Final Fight 3, another Capcom beat-em-up, and this game is loaded with all the hilarious cliche stuff you love about beat-em-ups. Of course, the star of the game is Hagar, who somehow has muscles on top of muscles, but there's three other characters you can play as, each with their own unique movesets and specials that you can unleash. This game is just so 90s, I don't know how else to describe it, and it's a great time. My pick for the best beat-em-up on the Super Nintendo is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4, Turtles in Time, because it gets all the basic beat-em-up stuff down like hit detection, enemy design, and boss design, but the time travel gimmick makes this one so much fun, because you have no idea what could be coming next. This game is all over the place, and it's the very rare instance of a home console port that's actually better than the arcade, thanks to the extra game modes. You don't even need to like Ninja Turtles to enjoy this one. It might be a top-10 Super Nintendo game, no matter how you slice it. Fighting games were absolutely everywhere back in the Super Nintendo's heyday, with everyone desperately trying to capitalize on the success of three games in particular. The obvious one is Street Fighter 2, the game that launched a million clones. But the best version of this game in my opinion is Street Fighter 2 Turbo, since you can play as the boss characters, and the additional speed makes things challenging even for seasoned pros. There's also Mortal Kombat 2. As groundbreaking as the first Mortal Kombat was, the best game is the second one, with 12 playable characters, interactive backgrounds, and of course, tons of finishers, and tons of gore. They also threw in a boatload of Easter eggs, none more recognizable than sound designer Dan Forden popping in. And that's in addition to friendships and babalities. I will say the single-player campaign in Mortal Kombat 2 kinda sucks, because the difficulty spike is ridiculous, but playing this with a second player is always really entertaining. I also have to mention Killer Instinct. This game at the time felt like the natural evolution of fighting games, requiring more precise inputs in order to land huge combos. It's got the look and lore of a game influenced by Mortal Kombat, but it's got the fighting game guts influenced by Street Fighter 2. This one can be tough to get the hang of, but when you land a huge combo, it's always really satisfying. Let's mention some shoot-'em-ups, and yes, despite popular opinion, the Super Nintendo has some quality shoot-'em-ups starting with Axel-A.  Well, I still kinda do. But Axel-A was the first one that really clicked with me. I think part of that is because it was made with the SNES hardware capabilities in mind. It wasn't trying to be something it wasn't, or something that the Genesis or TurboGrafx could necessarily do better. The game flips between vertical and horizontal shooting, and it presents just enough challenge without going over the top. This is one of my personal favorites, and I highly recommend you check it out. If you are looking for an over-the-top challenge, then look no further than R-Type 3, The Third Lightning. This game is brutal, and it was clearly made for shoot-'em-up veterans. Some of the level layouts here are crazy, with the screen absolutely crammed with stuff trying to kill you. And of course, since this is an R-Type game, you get nothing but huge, horrifying-looking bosses that take up nearly half the screen. Like, sure, let's have a wall made out of mutant flesh that throws eyeballs at you. That sounds normal. Finally for shoot-'em-ups, there's my pick for the best of the console, Space Megaforce, made by Compile. They have a track record of making some of the all-time best shoot-'em-ups like Zanak and Blazing Lasers, and Space Megaforce isn't far behind. This game does a great job balancing difficulty while providing you with tons of options for weapons, while keeping the level design interesting. And perhaps most importantly, this game managed to be fast-paced with minimal slowdown. It's a really well-made game that's well worth your time. On to sports games, and there's one racing game besides F-Zero I wanted to mention, and that's Top Gear, because I'm afraid if I didn't mention it, the entire continent of South America would come and burn down my house. This game remains hugely popular there, and for good reason. All the different tracks, cars, difficulty settings, combined with a genuine sense of speed, that all makes for an easy choice for an essential SNES racing game. For boxing, nothing really comes close to Super Punch-Out. It maintains the same simple gameplay of the original Punch-Out with 16 fighters you got to defeat, including some familiar faces from the original game. Continuing on with sports games, it's pretty simple and cut-and-dried.  If you want to play a basketball game, go with NBA Jam, the original or Tournament Edition or Hangtime, whatever. You don't even need to like basketball to have fun with that game. If you want football, go with Tecmo Super Bowl. It keeps things simple and seriously. The Madden games on Super Nintendo are a mess. Tecmo Super Bowl at least resembles football most of the time, so that's your go-to. If you want soccer, then go with International Superstar Soccer Deluxe, because, again, the entire continent of South America will burn down my house if I don't mention that game. Not really. It's a well-made game by Konami. I don't even like soccer, and I still play this one once in a while. And for baseball, go with Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball. It has an arcade-style feel to it, it cuts a quick pace, and it's easy to pick up and play. It's my pick for the best sports game period on the Super Nintendo. Let's take a quick break from the essentials for a bit, so I can throw in some picks for some games off the beaten path, something beyond the obvious. First, there's Sunset Riders, another really well-made Konami arcade port that does a great job capturing the arcade-style of gameplay, switching between a side-scrolling mode and a gallery shooter mode. Plus, it's got great moments like this. Another hidden gem, so to speak, is Metal Warriors. And if you're familiar with this channel, I've talked about this game a lot over the past few months because it's really good. This is a game like Contra 3 where what you see is what you get.   How cool is that? Definitely check this game out any way you can.  It's called Claymates. It's a platformer where you start out as a blue blob, but if you mesh with other blobs, I guess, you turn into different forms, like a mouse, a duck, a fish, a cat, and they all have unique abilities. And I can't help but enjoy this game. I never hear anyone talking about it, so maybe I'm crazy, but I think it's a fun time. Another weird game off the radar is Metal Marines, which sounds like a crappy Metallica cover band, but it's actually a strategy game. And I'm not gonna lie, it's not the most intuitive game, but once you figure it out, it's a lot of fun.  You can also deploy, you know, actual Metal Marines or mechs that can wander around and wreck everything in their path. So this is a fun one that I think more people would enjoy if they knew about it. But my number one pick for the best hidden gem on the Super Nintendo is Dragon View. Technically, this is a sequel to Drakken. As you can see with these open world segments here, but the combat goes into a beat-em-up style like Knights of the Round, and it works. I love the combination between exploration and combat here, and I think everyone should give this game a try. It's a good time. Alright, now that we've talked about quote-unquote hidden gems, let's talk about Imports, games that were never localized and stayed in Japan. And the first one I gotta mention is Front Mission Gun Hazard.  It takes customizable 2D mech combat and puts it in a GRPG setting and gives it some of the most badass-looking 16-bit graphics ever. This is one of the best examples of gameplay and story coming together seamlessly that you'll find on the Super Nintendo. You'll need an English patch to play it, but it's worth it. And if that doesn't scratch your GRPG itch, then there's Fire Emblem 4, otherwise known as Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War, and this is a tactical-based RPG. I mean, it's Fire Emblem, duh. But it's my pick for the best strategy import out there, so if you want a story-heavy strategy game, this one's for you. And again, you'll need an English patch to play it, but it's easy to find on romhacking.net. These next few imports don't require English patches to play, so you can just play them as is or any way you can, really. Magical Poppin is a solid exploration platformer structured in a similar way as Metroid, where you discover new abilities that unlocks more of the map. Some of my favorite games that stayed in Japan are the great battle games, in particular 4 and 5. The fourth game has some serious Mega Man X vibes, and it's a lot of fun being able to switch between three characters with different weapons. The fifth game takes on a Western motif, but it's more high-quality action platforming with some gallery shooter stages thrown in as well. There's also Gundam Wing Endless Dual, which is a surprisingly in-depth one-on-one mech fighting game. You'd normally think a game like this would chug like crazy on the Super Nintendo or Super Famicom in this case, but the performance is great, which makes this one a lot of fun. Finally, there's Makaross Scrambled Valkyrie, another game that features top-notch performance. In this case, a horizontal shoot-em-up with three different ships you can choose from, as well as the ability to convert enemy ships to fight alongside you. This game offers a ton of replay value and a ton of challenge. Last but certainly not least, we got to talk about what the Super Nintendo is probably best known for, role-playing games, and I got to start by mentioning the Quintet trilogy of Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma, but I want to highlight Soul Blazer in particular because I appreciate its straightforward nature while telling an oddly dark story that keeps you hooked. Plus, this game probably has the best example of that classic SNES slap bass. Next, I got to mention Secret of Mana, and this is another polarizing game. Some people love it, and some people think the combat and hit detection is too wonky, but I think the strengths far outweigh the weaknesses in this one. The music is fantastic, the boss fights are a lot of fun, and the fact that you get like 10 different weapons to use and level up is pretty nice. Not a whole lot of action RPGs can say that. For turn-based RPGs, we can start with Luffya 2, Rise of the Sinistrals. This game is actually a prequel to the first Luffya, but you don't need to play that one to get into Luffya 2. I dig how the story is told in this game. It almost feels like playing through episodes of an anime series or something, and there's a great sense of humor here, too. Plus, I mean, look at these bosses and these spells. That just looks cool as hell. I got to mention Super Mario RPG, Legend of the Seven Stars, but really, at this point, you're probably better off playing the recent remake, thanks to all the quality of life enhancements that game offers. Still, if you'd rather play it on Super Nintendo, you can't go wrong there either. It's a really entertaining playthrough that features some laugh-out-loud moments, and the timing-based combat keeps you engaged throughout. Earthbound is also an essential Super Nintendo game, but, uh, how the heck do I describe Earthbound as someone who's never played it before? It's a truly strange playthrough, one of the most surreal games you'll ever play, but the heart of the game is just you and your friends on a big adventure in an attempt to save the world, and it features one of the most satisfying endings to any game I've ever played. You really feel rewarded for playing all the way through this one. If you prefer a more straightforward role-playing game, then you can't go wrong with Final Fantasy VI or Final Fantasy III, as it was called here in North America. You want tons of characters and customizable options with things like espers and relics in addition to tons of weapons and equipment, all set within a ginormous sweeping story. Well, then here you go. This is a 35-40 hour playthrough, and again, like Earthbound, it really feels satisfying to finish. But my pick for the best role-playing game on the Super Nintendo is Chrono Trigger, thanks to its unique story and the way it's told, featuring time travel in a way that you can actually follow. Imagine that. This is one of those games that was clearly made by people who loved role-playing games, hence the Dream Team moniker bestowed on the development team. It's one of those games where playing for four hours can feel like 15 minutes. The story is engaging, the characters are likable and interesting, the combat is outstanding, featuring dual and triple techs, and the game is balanced almost perfectly. There's hardly any grinding in this game at all, and that in and of itself should be considered a huge achievement. Combine all that with some amazing visuals and a great soundtrack, and you have the most essential role-playing game on the system. This is a game that everybody should play through at least once. Okay, that's all for now. I'm sure I'm missing some of your favorite games. You know, I didn't even have enough room in this video for stuff like Sim City or Pilotwings or Super Ghouls and Ghosts, so I could go on and on. But I want to thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great rest of your day.
