Episode Transcript
[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? I hope you're having a great day today and I hope you are excited today because today is the day the Lord hath made. We'll be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful. Be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise him and thank him.
[00:00:25] Continue to pray for the things that you want and things that you need in life and ask God. I'm always very, very grateful that I can go to. And when I go through times of absolute freak out, I'll write my prayers down. And I always like to look back at it, look back on those prayers. It's always kind of funny to see what God has done for me and what God's going to do for you. He does it for each and every one of his people. And you are a son of God the minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, so you have access to that and God will take care of you. 100%. I was reading in Ecclesiastes this morning and I'm changing it to the English standard.
[00:01:01] There's a couple.
[00:01:02] I mean, if you want like an easier version of the Bible, the English standard is the most accurate.
[00:01:09] But like I said, I like the King James version because you can do a lot of studying in it. But anyways, all right, if you go to chapter eight, verse one of Ecclesiastes, it says, who is like the wise and who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine and the hardness of his face is changed.
[00:01:31] The more you believe in God, the more you start to focus. Wisdom is having that. It's the correct application of knowledge. And knowledge is the knowledge of God in the five senses, in this carnal life. I'm sure that every. You know, when I say knowledge or wisdom, everybody has their own interpretation of that thing, but not when it comes to the word.
[00:01:50] It is specific. It's all. I mean, it's. It's about God having the knowledge of God and rightly applying that knowledge which will change the hardness of your face, will change your countenance as a person. And you've seen it with people who maybe have been on drugs or something and then they find God or they start to believe and it changes their whole life around.
[00:02:10] It literally will change who you are. And I know the hardness of my heart has changed over the years. It will work with you. 100%, verse 5. Whoever keeps a command, will know no evil thing. And a wise heart will. Will know the proper time and the just way. For there is a time and a way for everything, although man's trouble lies heavy upon him. This is one of my favorite verses in the King James verse.
[00:02:38] It says, because for to every purpose there exists a time and a judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
[00:02:46] It's phenomenal because a wise heart discerns and understands that there is a time for everything, but also understands that there's a judgment for everything.
[00:02:56] The judgment of man. I got your works and acts in this life. They will cause effect in this life. The minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you're righteous, so you cannot, you cannot tarnish the spiritual being that you are, but your acts will have effect and cause effect in your life.
[00:03:17] God talks about don't even walk by an evil thing. If you see an evil thing, don't even bother walking by it.
[00:03:23] That it's hard not to make mistakes. It's hard not to choose the things that I mean, a good example is if you know you have work tomorrow, let's say, and you party till 4 o' clock in the morning, you know you want to go do it, it's going to be a lot of fun. But there are causes and effects of that.
[00:03:40] And God says, don't even bother, just walk past it, just walk by it. Don't even, don't even bother.
[00:03:46] And it's just, it's just beautiful. That man, a wise man, a man that's wise before God understands that there is both a judgment, but there is also a time, a season for every purpose under the heavens. And it's so true. It's so true. If you jump to verse 11. Well, I'm going to go to 10. Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity. Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily. The heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. Is that not 100% true?
[00:04:28] For some reason this, when I see this, when I read this, it gives me a place of peace, knowing that all, every, this whole earth is against God, the five senses is against God. And there's going to be people who are completely antithetical to what God says and do things that are totally evil.
[00:04:48] And because judicial sentence isn't quick, they're going to be fully set to do it. But there will be a Time. And there will be a judgment. Not for us, not for us who believe.
[00:05:00] Not for the sons of God who've already moved on to the righteous. I mean, we're already born spiritually new. We are already the second Adam, a part of that spiritual body, all sons of God. But there will be a judgment.
[00:05:14] And I don't. And I just. I don't know. I take comfort in that. I want to finish up with Ecclesiastes 7, verse 8. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. And the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
[00:05:27] The end of a thing is better than the beginning thereof. If you're going through something new, it's going to get better and better and better and better. I. Today. I understand that exactly because of the business we have. But have a beautiful day today. Pray the big prayers. Be thankful for who you are and who God chose you to be. You have been summoned to. You have been called. You are a son of God with power. And you have the Holy Spirit, a company of angels, God Almighty behind you. It's. It's a wonderful place to be. Pray the big prayers today. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, when you pray, you always pray to God, never to Jesus Christ. If you pray to Jesus Christ, it won't go anywhere. You pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a beautiful day. God bless you and your family. And I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:12] I will be coming home.
[00:06:22] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for everything you do for us. I just pray for a great day and a blessed day. And again I thank you for getting my shoulder better and better and better every day. And I'm just very, very grateful for this to be over with so I can get back to Jiu Jitsu and feeling normal. I thank you again for the moments of my life, for the people you put in our life. I thank you for the financial prosper. I ask that you continually build up this country and get this economy moving, Father. And I thank you for just the great blessings you have for each and every one of us and for your believers and for my family. I lift up a great day to you in the name of Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
