Keep your eyes on Him. Stay awake. Stay vigilant and in you Word -- the Holy Bible. Stay awake and away from all propaganda. Even our faves and most neutral like Candace, Tucker, Baron and Megyn are being persecuted for TRUTH. Stay awake and know that these are prophetic times. Do your research and don't trust the word of man, only the word of God. I love my independent media journalists, and even them, I research. Stay awake and keep your lamps on!

All right, everyone.

Welcome back to another

episode of I Can't, He Can.

3

My name is Sarai, as you guys

already know, and I am your host.

4

We are back today, but I

don't follow my own advice.

5

I don't follow my own anything really.

6

I just kinda have been going with the

flow lately, and I know that I said

7

I would post the episode of the Sound

Mind series to finish Ecclesiastes

8

on Wednesday, but we are here.

9

It is Monday, and I woke up today,

thankfully, um, after a crazy day, crazy

10

few days rather, um, with my daughter

and just, you know, medical stuff, and

11

it's, it's always something, right?

12

Um, but I woke up today with Psalm

13

the verse that's very famous.

14

A lot of people love it and know it.

15

Um, it says, "We shall

rejoice and be glad today."

16

It says, "Today is the

day the Lord has made.

17

We shall rejoice and be glad in it."

18

And not to, like, over-exaggerate, but

I woke up and those were the words that

19

I had in my head repeating over and

over and over again as if it was a song.

20

Sometimes you get a song stuck in your

head, and that's what I had in my head.

21

And again, after going through so many

things with my daughter in the past

22

few days and just life itself, um,

unfortunately there was a, a passing

23

of a gentleman in our church, and that

was also very heavy in our hearts.

24

And obviously it took up a lot of space

in our mind because no one ever wants

25

to go through something like that.

26

Um, so just the fact that I woke up with

27

over, it's almost like the Holy Spirit was

like, "Okay, Sarai, you've had enough of

28

this emotional rut that you have been in.

29

You've had enough of

this anxiety and worry."

30

And last night, honestly, I

cried it out in the shower.

31

Cried it out in the shower, and it was

almost immediately, like the moment

32

that the water hit me, just tears.

33

Tears and I prayed and also, you know,

just things in your personal life that

34

you don't realize really do get to you,

um, had gotten to me, but God is good.

35

God is good, and sometimes you need to

talk about those things with the Lord.

36

Sometimes you need to vent with your

significant other or with a friend or

37

even just speaking it out loud, um, so

that you can do a work- Within yourself

38

to give that to God, and then you allow

him to do a work in you, and he can carry

39

those burdens and those worries and those

anxieties and keep them away from you.

40

So I'm very grateful, um, for that

and for waking up today with that

41

scripture again, Psalm 118 verse 24.

42

Um, very important, everyone

always, you know, repeats that one.

43

But man, the word in scripture is correct.

44

We start hiding verses and

words in our heart, and we use

45

them when we most need them.

46

So I feel like that was God's

protection with me this morning.

47

And I love the Lord.

48

I love the Lord, and I am so grateful

because I would be so different

49

and in such a different place

without the Word and without God.

50

And that brings me to this impromptus

episode and why I'm here and why I am not

51

taking the Sabbath that I said I was going

to take and sharing stuff with you guys.

52

We are living in very crazy times.

53

We are living in a generation where

we have to be careful with what

54

we watch and what we listen to.

55

And I know that I have my own preferences

of things that I love watching.

56

I love, uh, sometimes watching, you know,

these reality, quote-unquote, "reality

57

shows," um, that are put on Netflix.

58

And I've kind of like let go of those

'cause I personally was convicted

59

about a lot of those things.

60

I personally was convicted about a lot

of those things, and, you know, the more,

61

the more that we grow with the Lord,

the more that we will start throwing

62

away and filtering all of these things

that we should be staying away from.

63

And that was one of the

things that I've stopped.

64

But recently, I have been very into what

is going on around the world, what is

65

being said that we can do, that we can't

do, um, that our children are being

66

fed, you know, mentally, figuratively

speaking, in school as far as curriculums.

67

And I don't really like to get into those

topics because I have never been, I have

68

never been a person who's political.

69

Um, I'm not going to say that I'm getting

into political conversations here.

70

Remember, this is about Jesus.

71

This is about the Lord, and we are

going to speak about scriptures, um-

72

But I promise I'm getting somewhere.

73

However, all the things that we are being

fed, our children are being fed, that we

74

are listening to, that we are consuming,

that these amazing tiny devices are

75

essentially just watching and listening

to us and learning us, even our eye

76

contact, um, we have to be very careful.

77

And I say that to say that I have

been very into independent news

78

talk show hosts and podcasters, and

just really staying in tune with

79

what's going on in our government.

80

First of all, I love our country.

81

I don't love politics.

82

I have never liked politics.

83

But what I do love is our Constitution

and the many Christian-based beliefs

84

that our Constitution was founded on.

85

And what I can see is, not just from

all these people that, that I, that I

86

watch, um, for example, I watch a lot of,

um, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, who's

87

extremely persecuted right now because

whatever political reasons and agendas.

88

Um, I watch a lot of Candace Owen.

89

Um, if you guys don't know Baron Coleman,

um, he's an attorney that looks into stuff

90

that no one would really understand, and

he puts it in layman's terms for everyone.

91

But anyway, those are just a few of the

people that I listen to, um, that are

92

very neutral, and I have hours and hours

of listening to all of them while I

93

work, um, at the office or here at home.

94

Uh, of course, if you see my

YouTube time versus my Bible app

95

time, it's very little 'cause I

don't really go into the Bible app.

96

I tend to read from my

Bible, um, or my devotional.

97

I like more of like actual book.

98

But the point is that I

put time into what I watch.

99

I have done the legwork to know,

hmm, my discernment is, like, red

100

flags, red flags on this person, and

then listening to other people and

101

saying, "Mm, okay, this one I kind

of see eye to eye with this person."

102

So now that you have that background,

um, I wanna preface this by saying

103

that in no way, shape, or form am

I directing anyone or any of you to

104

listen or watch to any of these people.

105

I'm, I'm just saying this for YouTube

purposes and for all these platforms.

106

I am not funded.

107

I mean, I wish one day I

was, but I'm not funded.

108

This is all my experience, what I

am seeing, and what I truly hope

109

and pray- That people who would

listen to me would see is going on

110

around them, and is very serious.

111

So our pastor told us actually a few

months ago that if you don't own one of

112

these, it is time to get yourself a Bible.

113

This is my Bible, New King James Version.

114

And I would even say get a few.

115

I have extra Bibles here.

116

This is my Spanish one.

117

I have extra Bibles here.

118

Literally brand-new, unopened Bibles.

119

And I have them because I do

the ladies study group the

120

last Saturday of every month.

121

I want to be sure that, first of

all, that just to make it easier,

122

we read from the same version.

123

But also if no one h- if they, excuse

me, if they don't have a Bible, they

124

can have one of the copies that I have.

125

So if there's anyone who's gotten this

far, ten minutes in on this episode,

126

and needs a Bible, please message me.

127

You can follow me on Instagram.

128

It's icant_hecan on Instagram.

129

Here on YouTube, it's @icanthecan.

130

And my email, if you wanna email

me 'cause you don't have any of

131

those platforms, you can email me

at icanthecanpodcast@gmail.com.

132

And if you don't have a Bible, you don't

have the money to spend on a Bible, I

133

promise you some of them really are not

that expensive, I will send you one of my

134

New King James Version Bibles brand new.

135

You don't have to give me anything.

136

You don't have to pay for shipping.

137

I will get it to you.

138

Please, if you need one, and you wanna

follow along with whatever I am reading,

139

and it's not making sense because

your version is different, I promise

140

you this one is not hard to follow

along with, please reach out to me.

141

I will get you one of my Bibles

that I have here just in case.

142

But going back to what I was saying, our

pastor shared with us, and he said, "Just

143

so you know, in a few years, I'm pretty

sure that these things are going to be

144

changing everything that is in here."

145

So for all of you who are used to

opening the YouVersion app, not to say

146

that there's anything bad about them,

but any app that is Bible related,

147

please have yourself a physical Bible.

148

Because just like AI, who has been giving

misinformation from time to time and

149

skewing history and skewing facts This

is something that will never be skewed if

150

you have, um, a New King James version,

um, or really any other versions, but

151

I would just highly recommend the New

King James version 'cause that's what

152

we use in our church, Living Upward.

153

So with that, again, there's just a lot

of moving parts in this episode, but I

154

had it in my heart to share with you guys.

155

So with that, I have really stayed

in tune with what I've learned,

156

not just reading on my own, but

what our pastor has directed us to.

157

And I went from not going to

church about two years ago.

158

August will be, I believe, a

full two years, I wanna say.

159

I mean, I can't keep track anymore.

160

Um, but I believe August, yes, this

August, August 4th or August 6th, will be

161

a full two years that I gave my life to

the Lord, that I started going to church,

162

literally only missing if I had to work

or if my kids were sick be- but I promise

163

you, I have gone to church literally,

like, every Sunday for two years.

164

Um, and at one point, I went to a

specific church here in Hialeah, Florida.

165

I'm not going to name names.

166

Um, I loved going to this church.

167

I loved absolutely giving my time

to serving and to growing, 'cause

168

I did a lot of growing there.

169

My heart was in a

completely different place.

170

My mind was in a

completely different place.

171

I did surrender, but I did

fight a lot with the flesh.

172

And what I mean by that is that while

I was serving, while I was translating

173

from English to Spanish, or while I was

doing the slides for the messages that the

174

pastor had, or even the lyrics in worship,

or when I was in worship, 'cause I love

175

singing and music, I would finish empty.

176

I would finish empty and drained, and

I was just going through the motions.

177

And not because I didn't like serving.

178

I have a servant heart, hence why I'm

here every week for free, basically.

179

This is, like, my other, you know,

part-time job that I love, um,

180

and talking about Jesus, who has

given me everything that I have.

181

So how could I not be here?

182

But essentially, I was running on empty.

183

I was not being poured into.

184

And again, there are just things

that the more you read, the more you

185

dive into the Word of God- The Old

Testament and in the New Testament,

186

the words of Jesus, those little red

letters, they just, they pack a punch.

187

They pack a punch and they hit you really

hard where you need to hear it, truly.

188

And if you are going to a church that is

not doing that to you, from the person

189

that's in the pulpit to the people

that are around you, if you don't feel

190

like you are being fed spiritually,

then you have no place in serving.

191

And I felt that.

192

I felt that conviction.

193

And to my surprise, um, it is

actually, in my opinion, my humble

194

opinion, it is actually growth.

195

And again, not to say and not to knock

this church, this pastor, the people.

196

There are several people that I

stay in touch with, um, that I care

197

very deeply about, that I knew for

that entire time, year and a half.

198

Um, my best friend, Brandy, that you guys

have heard in other episodes, actually

199

is the one that led me to that church.

200

So thank you to her and to Eli, who

wanted to go to church, and just, you

201

know, it spiraled into what I am today.

202

But I really do feel that at one point...

203

Wow.

204

I really do feel that at one

point, my love for God and my love

205

for Jesus surpassed any feeling

that I can get on any stage.

206

And how could I be up there serving

and not be filled with the Spirit?

207

Because at the end of the day,

worship on a stage is a performance.

208

But if you're not filled with

the Spirit, then I feel that

209

that can carry through a room.

210

Again, just my opinion.

211

I feel that that can carry through

a room, and others can feel it.

212

And it's a trickle effect, and

it's a domino effect, where then

213

the flock and the people that are

there may get tired of that, and may

214

wanna deviate, and may want more.

215

And that's what happened to me.

216

I felt that I needed more.

217

And how David would say, he said

that I was over the baby food,

218

and that I wanted solid food.

219

And again, little by little, I didn't make

a rash decision, but little by little, I

220

started looking into the church that I am

now- Very small church, but very strong.

221

And when I say strong, not just strong

with each other like a cohesive family,

222

and they're not all blood-related, they're

literally people have been together for

223

about 30 years and have stuck together.

224

Um, but they're very strong in the

Word, and they're very strong in using

225

this for everything in their life.

226

And our pastor uses this on the pulpit,

in his little corner where he stands,

227

and he gives his messages on Sunday.

228

It is reading directly from the

Bible, and from the scripture he

229

explains and comes his message.

230

It is not a bullet point message.

231

It is not a thought-out message.

232

It is the Holy Spirit coming through this

holy book, and he is exhorting that to us.

233

And in going to our Wednesday

Bible studies and in being there

234

every Sunday since the beginning of

this year, I just started serving.

235

Again, very small, um, helping with

the coffee and snacks for Sunday.

236

But my heart is completely

changed, and my mind is at peace.

237

I don't feel exhausted

anymore after services.

238

I feel like I am being fed spiritually,

and I feel like I am supported in a

239

group of people who truly love God.

240

And when there has been the smallest thing

in my life, the first thing that happens

241

is, "Hey, Sarai, I missed you today.

242

They don't say, "Where were you?"

243

They say, "Hey, I hope everything is okay.

244

We missed you and the kids today.

245

I'm going to be praying for you."

246

That's it.

247

And, you know, it's not to say that I

didn't have that in the other church, um,

248

'cause there were more people, but when

things come from the heart and things are

249

like Jesus, things are Christ-like, and

people live trying to be as righteous and

250

as holy as Jesus, there's a lot more...

251

Oh, what's the word?

252

There's a lot more love.

253

There's a lot more love, and it

comes from a much more humble place.

254

Oh, gosh.

255

Sorry, guys, I got a little emotional

earlier, so my makeup was a little runny.

256

Um, so I do feel that tremendously.

257

Sorry, going back to what I'm saying.

258

I do feel that change tremendously,

and I love them so much.

259

And I'm just saying, again,

all of this to say that you

260

guys need to have your Bibles.

261

Let go of your technology.

262

This, this unfortunately is going

to get us into a very difficult

263

place, and that is what I actually

wanted to talk to you guys about.

264

When we are watching the things on our

phones and TVs, we need to be mindful of

265

where they're getting their information.

266

And again, I have seen Megyn

Kelly, Candace Owens...

267

Oh my gosh, like, if you don't

know Candace Owes- Owens' name,

268

you guys are living under a rock.

269

Okay?

270

I absolutely, personally love her.

271

She's Catholic.

272

At the end of the day, we

are all followers of Jesus.

273

Whatever denomination you are,

If you believe that Jesus came,

274

he died, and he rose at the third

day, then that's all you need.

275

It doesn't matter what denomination you

are, that is the basis of your salvation

276

and how it is that you can be reconciled

back to the Father through Jesus Christ.

277

That is the only way, faith

and believing in Jesus Christ.

278

I digress.

279

Um, but if you know any of these

independent, uh, podcasters,

280

Candace, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson

is the most viral one right now.

281

They are being persecuted, and they

are being persecuted for truth.

282

They are being persecuted for saying

their opinions that are honestly, in

283

my, in my humble opinion, are correct.

284

They have Christian values.

285

Megyn Kelly I believe is also Catholic,

however, she's the m- much more

286

neutral than, um, Tucker and Candace.

287

However, you can't listen to social media,

you can't listen to Instagram, you can't

288

listen to Facebook and TikTok and Reels.

289

You have to watch the full

context of what they are saying.

290

And like I was saying a few minutes

ago, I have done the legwork.

291

I have seen all of these videos

while I work in the office.

292

Tucker Carlson has interviews that

are, like, two and a half hours, and

293

I watch them while I'm working...

294

Well, listen to them while I'm

working, and they're very good.

295

So when I see friends of mine, when I

see people online that are doing these

296

little clips of all of these- People, um,

who have the best interest at heart for

297

their audience, and they're sharing these

clips, and they're calling them, um, Islam

298

lovers and all of these negative things,

and anti-Semites and, uh, genocide lovers.

299

It is the worst.

300

If you know Jesus, if you know and

you read your Bible, what is going

301

on in the world today is wrong.

302

However, it is also biblical.

303

These things are gonna happen.

304

There will be rumors of wars.

305

There will be wars.

306

There will be famine.

307

There will be all things

s- all things going on.

308

Like, one day I'm going to do a

Sound Mind series on Revelation,

309

um, but that's a doozy.

310

So anyway, but if you know, you know

that these things are biblical and

311

these things are coming, all the

things that are going on with Israel.

312

Like, it's just, it's crazy.

313

However, my message to you in

these 20-something minutes is that

314

you need to please keep things in

context, and that goes for this.

315

That goes for your Bible.

316

We as human beings love to pick and choose

little verses here and there that make

317

us feel all warm and fuzzy, and all of

our pastors, well, old pastors or other

318

pastors online, um, not my pastor now.

319

My pastor now, if he reads

something that's not in context,

320

he tells us, "Point it out.

321

Call me out on it, because I'm wrong

if I do that," as he should, 'cause

322

that is exactly what the Bible says.

323

If we are not calling out our pastors...

324

And in leaving, I did actually

have a conversation with my

325

pastor, and I gave them, you know,

my experience and my two cents.

326

Hopefully they grow from it.

327

Who knows?

328

I don't know.

329

But my part as a, sister in Christ to

the people of the church, a person that

330

went to that church for a while, uh,

excuse me, for a while, and, uh, I'm

331

just part of the, the body of Christ.

332

I have to make sure that he was

aware of how I felt, and how I felt

333

that there was something lacking.

334

Um, so anyway, with that aside, we

have to be sure that we keep things

335

in context, and we have to read.

336

And the same thing goes with what we are

consuming on these lovely little devices.

337

We can't just take word for word

everything that we see on this.

338

If there is someone that you like

and you see all these attacks and all

339

these clips, watch the full video.

340

Watch the full video.

341

Get the full context.

342

Watch another person where

that's coming from, and how

343

did they get that information?

344

It's very important.

345

It's like studying when we were in school.

346

I know that kids nowadays, all they

do is they grab their computer,

347

they Google, and they get answers.

348

But when I grew up in the '90s, I had to

grab an encyclopedia before the internet.

349

I had to do some research.

350

I had to go on askjeeves.com

351

and ask questions, and that

was, like, kinda weird.

352

And we had to do the legwork.

353

And it's the same things.

354

We are living through end time prophecies.

355

And these are times where AI is

ramping up, and these are times where

356

we don't know what is in front of us.

357

We do not know what we are seeing,

if it's real or if it is fake.

358

So with that, I tell you

guys, lay off your phone.

359

Lay off your social media.

360

This thing right here,

it's going to drain you.

361

It's going to drain you, and it's

going to do a number on your mind.

362

If we have five or 10 minutes and we

want to look and we wanna scroll, fine.

363

Post something cute.

364

Post something that you like.

365

Put it down.

366

Put it away.

367

Get your nose into this.

368

And certainly do your research.

369

If you can watch videos as you're working,

like me, you know, that, that is a, a

370

blessing, um, that I am able to do that.

371

But if you're able to, in the

background, listen to some of these

372

independent podcasters to kinda

become more aware of what's going

373

on around the world, um, do that.

374

But don't just fall for the clickbait.

375

Don't.

376

Don't do it.

377

Don't do it.

378

It is the worst.

379

It is the worst thing because then

you live in a world that's not real,

380

and they are trying to feed us all

of these things to keep us asleep.

381

To keep us asleep.

382

But the Word says that

we have to be awake.

383

We have to be awake waiting for the groom.

384

We have to be like the those five

women that had their lamps and had oil,

385

And forgive me right now if I don't

know it exactly word for word.

386

Again, read your Word.

387

But this is what came to mind right now.

388

I don't wanna be that person

that gets stranded without oil.

389

I don't wanna be that person

that gets stranded without oil.

390

I need to be informed.

391

I need to be fed.

392

And that is why I'm doing the best that

I can with my Wednesday Bible study with

393

a pastor that will never step foot on,

on the pulpit without his Bible open.

394

None of this.

395

And you guys need to do the same thing

You guys need to do the same thing.

396

Context is everything.

397

Stop reading around the words because

you are not looking for conviction.

398

How is your heart going to change?

399

How is your life going to improve?

400

How is your relationship with Jesus going

to be real if you do not allow this, these

401

scriptures, these words to do their job?

402

You can't do that when

you read around the lines.

403

You have to read through everything.

404

You can't pick and choose.

405

This isn't get a little bit and

then save the rest for later.

406

That's not what the Bible is.

407

The Bible is love, and the only

way that we can get to Jesus is to

408

understand this fully in context.

409

And that's why I have this

ready to go for you guys.

410

I have a bunch of these little m-

scriptures right here outlined.

411

These are all the things that, that

I have read and things that I liked.

412

But I have a few little tabs here that

I wanna share with you as to why it's

413

important to keep this in context.

414

And the very first one that I am reading

415

says here: "Also it shall be, when

he sits on the throne of his kingdom,

416

that he shall write for himself a

copy of this law in a book from the

417

one before the priests, the Levites.

418

And," verse 19, "And it shall be with

him, and he shall read it all the days of

419

his life, that he may learn for fear..."

420

Excuse me.

421

"That he may learn to fear the Lord his

God, and be careful to observe all the

422

words of this law and these statutes."

423

You guys are probably

like, "What is going on?"

424

So in Deuteronomy chapter 17, and it

actually starts in verse 14, but I just

425

wanted to pinpoint verse 18 and 19.

426

But in Deuteronomy 17, this section

talks about how the kings who came to

427

power had the commandments or the, the

commandment that they were allowed...

428

Um, excuse me.

429

That they were in charge of reading

the commandments and writing the

430

commandments every single day.

431

And not just to that, they had to

read them to the people so that no one

432

deviated, and so that everyone heard

it, and so that everyone learned.

433

So, if a king who is above all of the

peasants and servants and people, whatever

434

you wanna call them at that time, if the

king was in charge of keeping those laws

435

and those commandments- Just think to

yourself, is that what's being done now?

436

That's what's in the word of God

right here, Deuteronomy chapter 17.

437

Is that being done right now?

438

I'll leave that right

there, but it's in here.

439

It doesn't matter where

you are in the totem pole.

440

If you're a king, you're a president,

you're a whoever, if you're a toilet

441

washer, if you are a farmer, if you're

a stay-at-home mom, we all have to

442

read the word and share it exactly

as it is so that people learn it and

443

so that people hear it correctly.

444

Deuteronomy chapter 17,

verse 18 through 19.

445

And now I'm gonna go ahead

into Nehemiah chapter eight,

446

right here.

447

Sorry, guys, getting used to these nails.

448

Nehemiah chapter 8,

verse seven through 12.

449

Now, in this particular scripture,

Ezra, um, who they're talking about

450

here in chapter eight in Nehemiah,

is reading the word to other people

451

that are around him, and again,

keeping things in context, making sure

452

that people continue to understand

it and hear it exactly how it is.

453

Let me put my little note there.

454

So he was reading it directly, and

he stresses the importance of reading

455

it for yourself and understanding,

not just hearing it from other

456

people, like a pastor in a pulpit

or, like, online, or from wherever

457

you may get your information.

458

Read it for yourself.

459

Nehemiah chapter 8,

verse seven through 12.

460

And it says, "Also Jeshua, Bani,

Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Jebuthiah,

461

Hodiah, Maasiah," or Messiah, "Keiliah,

Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and

462

the Levites," sorry if I butchered

those, "and the Levites helped the people

463

to understand the law, and the people

stood in their place," verse eight.

464

"So they read distinctly from

the book in the law of God, and

465

they gave the sense and helped

them to understand the reading."

466

So in this instance, they were reading

the word to people, but not only

467

were they reading it word for word,

the word of God and the law, they

468

were helping them to understand it.

469

So I pray that is what

I'm doing with you guys.

470

Um, that's the only thing

that we should be doing.

471

But anyway, moving on to the

third verse that I have for you.

472

I have three more.

473

Three, four, five verses.

474

So verse three, and this one I actually

found as I was planning the verses,

475

so it's just- It's crazy how, like,

the Bible just kind of speaks to you.

476

But verse three, it's

actually in Revelation that

477

I was talking about before.

478

It's Revelation 22:6-7.

479

And this is, um, in here in my Bible

it's separated again by, like, topics,

480

and this one says, "The time is near."

481

So verse six,

482

"Then he said to me: 'These words

are faithful and true, and the Lord

483

God of the holy prophets sent his

angel to show his servants the things

484

which must shortly take place.'"

485

Verse seven, and these are in red letter.

486

This is Jesus speaking directly to

John, who is the author of this book.

487

Verse seven says, "Behold,

I am coming quickly.

488

Blessed is he who keeps the words

of the prophecy of this book."

489

So if you interpret that exactly how

it said, "Blessed is he who keeps the

490

words of the prophecy of this book," that

nothing has changed, that you take it how

491

he is telling you, you will be blessed.

492

And we are blessed indeed, because

we have all of these things

493

that we have been given by God.

494

But essentially, if we, in long-suffering,

continue to have faith and hope in

495

Jesus Christ and his coming back, no

matter what's going on around us, we

496

will be blessed and we will be saved

and we will be reconciled back to the

497

Father, only through Jesus Christ.

498

Um, so I wanted to share that because

he says here, um, that, "The Lord

499

God of the holy prophets sent his

angel to show his servants the things

500

which must shortly take place."

501

So God sent Jesus' angel to show

his servant, Jesus' servants,

502

meaning his disciples, the things

which must shortly take place.

503

I'm interpreting that as the person

who wrote Revelation, he was a person

504

sent by Jesus and God and the angel of

Jesus to show us what was gonna happen.

505

And that's why Jesus said

then in verse seven, again,

506

"Behold, I am coming quickly.

507

Blessed is he who keeps the words

of the prophecy of this book."

508

So that was the third one.

509

Now we're gonna go to number four

that I had, which is right here.

510

It's actually, I had no idea, it's the

last verse of the Bible in Revelation,

511

and that is Revelation 22:18-21.

512

And it says...

513

Oh, this section is called A Warning.

514

This section says, "For I testify to

everyone who hears the words of the

515

prophecy of this book, if anyone adds

to these things, God will add to him the

516

plagues that are written in this book."

517

Verse 19, "And if anyone takes away from

the words of the book of this prophecy,

518

God shall take away his part from the book

of life, from the holy city, and from the

519

things which are written in this book."

520

Verse 20, "He who testifies to these

things say," in red letters, this is

521

Jesus, " 'Surely I am coming quickly.'

522

" Amen.

523

Even so, come Lord Jesus.

524

Verse 21, "The grace of our Lord

Jesus Christ be with you all.

525

Amen."

526

Going back to verse 18, I got

chills right now, honestly.

527

Um, verse 18 through verse 19, it clearly

says that if anyone adds words, God

528

will add to the plagues in your life.

529

And in verse 19, if you remove words,

remove prophecy, God will take away

530

His part from the book of life.

531

Meaning, if you are saved, is your

name going to be in the book of life?

532

He's gonna remove things from the

holy city, and from the things

533

which are written in this book.

534

So again, that's a clear warning.

535

Oh, gosh.

536

It's a clear warning.

537

We need to have the

context, not read around it.

538

Allow our minds and our hearts to be

stirred by what the Bible is telling us.

539

And do not allow your heart and

your mind to be stirred by this,

540

by what you guys are seeing here.

541

You can't.

542

You can't do that.

543

This has nothing to do with this book.

544

And guys, to close out,

545

I'm going to read from 2 Timothy 3:13-17.

546

And I titled this, specifically

myself, my interpretation, I titled

547

this Man versus the Word of God.

548

So 2 Timothy 3:13-17.

549

Oh, right here, was covering it.

550

This is my last scripture for today.

551

Verse 13, "But evil men and

imposters will grow worse and worse,

552

deceiving and being deceived."

553

Doesn't that sound like today?

554

That sounds like today.

555

Verse 14, "But you must continue

in the things which you have

556

learned and have been assured of."

557

Knowing from whom you have learned them.

558

The things you have learned and

from whom you've learned them.

559

Number 15, excuse me, verse 15.

560

And that from childhood you have known

the Holy Scriptures, which are able

561

to make you wise for salvation through

faith, which is in Jesus Christ.

562

Verse 16, All scripture is

given by inspiration of God.

563

All scripture.

564

And is profitable Sorry,

I, like, interjected that.

565

Oh my God, I got carried away.

566

Verse 16, All scripture is given by

inspiration of God and is profitable for

567

doctrine, for reproof, for correction,

for instruction in righteousness.

568

Verse 17, That the man of God

may be complete, thoroughly

569

equipped for every good work.

570

And it's funny because as I was at my

daughter's doctor appointment today,

571

my neighbor and now friend, Sasha,

actually had questions about everything

572

that she had been reading, and...

573

Oh, that's me back there.

574

Oh my God, it's so weird seeing myself.

575

Let me pause that.

576

Oh, gosh.

577

Anyway, um, so she reached out.

578

She sent me a message, she had

questions, and I sent her some of

579

the scriptures that I have kept in

my heart and have showed me, um, you

580

know, that how did people write the

New Testament, and how did that happen?

581

And I gave her my two cents.

582

I'm not gonna get into all that.

583

So this scripture now in Second Timothy

chapter three verse thirteen through

584

seventeen, specifically verse sixteen,

is also something that I'm really

585

going to share with her, because all

things in here are inspired by God.

586

And that scripture itself,

um, is also an answer to her.

587

Um, which she was already on point.

588

She wa- You know, sometimes we try

to interpret things in a different

589

way or in a way that our minds

just work, because we're taught to

590

think specifically, um, you know,

how to, like, analyze and decipher.

591

Mind you, she grew up in the same years

that I did, so we look deeper into things.

592

We tend to make nothing...

593

Excuse me.

594

We make, we tend to make a

lot of stuff out of nothing.

595

Um, and sometimes people just

overcomplicate the Bible, and

596

the Bible is not complicated.

597

The Bible is love.

598

The Bible is God's love in a book.

599

It's his manual back to him.

600

And people seem to forget that.

601

It's a story from beginning to end

about how Jesus was going to be

602

your salvation and your way back

to God, back to your real home.

603

This is not our home.

604

This is temporary.

605

And if only we understood that,

the way that Jesus was trying to

606

share the gospel and share everyone.

607

And that is why I'm here.

608

That is why I'm here doing my part in how

he truly transformed my heart and mind.

609

And it's hard because we're still living

in this cursed earth, still dealing with

610

this wretched flesh, as my pastor says.

611

But by the grace of God, we are saved.

612

And by the grace of God, we have been

given the understanding of having this.

613

And I'm using it.

614

I'm using it because I know

that this is not our last stop.

615

And nothing that is on

here is going to trick me.

616

Nothing that is AI is ever going to make

me doubt and make me unlearn or question

617

the word of God.

618

And with that, my friends, I thank you.

619

I know this has been a super long, um,

just talk, but I truly had it in my heart.

620

God really put that in my heart today.

621

Um, and I just, I had to be here.

622

I had to be here and I had to do

it because one of the things that

623

has been growing the most within me

is obedience and listening to God.

624

And I am so grateful that he has softened

me enough to leave my stubbornness behind

625

and to finally allow myself to be led,

not just by David, by a person, a man that

626

I love very much here on earth, but to

be led by Jesus and by the Holy Spirit.

627

So I'm here.

628

I hope you guys enjoyed this.

629

I hope it has blessed you.

630

And I can't wait to see you guys

back again this week because we're

631

going to be doing the Sonmine

series, wrapping up Ecclesiastes.

632

Thank you guys.

633

I love you and take care.
