00:23 I want to spend my life

00:55 I want to spend my life
01:00 Mending broken people
01:15 Hello, I'm Shelley Quinn.
01:16 And we are so excited that you're joining us
01:19 for 3ABN Today Bible Q and A.
01:23 You know, this is a time
01:25 when we take your Bible questions.
01:28 We know your secrets of the truth.
01:30 I have three secrets of the truth
01:32 sitting at the table with me today,
01:34 and we answer your questions directly from the Bible
01:39 with a thus saith the Lord, and we love doing this.
01:42 We're so glad to have this opportunity.
01:45 What we would encourage you to do.
01:47 If you'd like to have one of your questions answered,
01:49 you can text us at (618) 228-3975.
01:55 That's (618) 228-3975.
02:00 Or you can email us
02:03 at BibleQA@3abn.org
02:08 That's BibleQA@3abn.org
02:14 Now let me introduce my brothers at the table,
02:16 and I'm just so excited.
02:18 We have with us evangelist and singer of Israel,
02:21 Pastor Ryan Day. Amen.
02:23 It's a blessing to be a part of this program, always.
02:25 And to be able to give true clear Bible answers
02:29 straight from the Word of God.
02:30 Amen, amen.
02:31 And then my dear brother, Jason Bradley,
02:33 I feel like you're a son, Jay,
02:35 but you are the general manager of 3ABN Dare to Dream.
02:40 Yes. And it's so great to be here.
02:42 I love these questions that come in
02:44 because really I study it out.
02:46 I learn, I grow, and I'm excited about that.
02:48 Amen.
02:49 And the Bible says in 2 Timothy 2:15,
02:54 "Study to show yourself approved."
02:56 So that's kind of one of our texts that goes.
02:59 What would you say as an anchor text
03:00 for this program.
03:02 Sure.
03:03 And then we have our dear pastor John Dinzey,
03:06 who is the general manager for 3ABN Latino.
03:11 Thank you. It's a privilege to be here.
03:13 We will be speaking in English today.
03:15 Amen. Thank you for...
03:17 You know, I'm so amazed at people like you and Idalia
03:22 who are so fluent in both the language,
03:24 in two languages.
03:25 We do our best.
03:27 If you're from Texas, I always say,
03:29 if you're from Texas and you speak English,
03:31 that makes you bilingual
03:32 'cause Texas have the language of their own.
03:34 That's true.
03:36 All right.
03:37 Johnny, would you like to have a prayer for this program?
03:39 Sure.
03:41 Let's go to the Lord in prayer.
03:42 Our loving heavenly Father,
03:45 we rejoice to know that You love us.
03:47 We rejoice to know
03:48 that You have a plan of salvation.
03:50 And we thank You
03:52 that the door of mercy is still open.
03:54 And heavenly Father, we need light from heaven.
03:57 We need Your Holy Spirit to bring the message
04:01 that You have for Your children.
04:02 We pray that You will bless us with Your Holy Spirit
04:04 and also bless everyone
04:06 that is seeking for understanding
04:08 to receive light from heaven
04:10 as we study the questions and verses
04:13 that we will be sharing.
04:14 We ask You for these things
04:16 in the holy and blessed name of Jesus.
04:17 Amen.
04:19 Amen. Amen.
04:20 I just want to take a moment to explain,
04:21 because occasionally we get an email.
04:23 Somebody says, well, why didn't they spend more time
04:26 giving us more Bible references?
04:29 Each one of these panelists has five questions.
04:32 That's our format.
04:34 So they each get two minutes per question,
04:36 with the exception of one question,
04:38 we give them a bonus minute.
04:40 But if you would like to find deeper understanding,
04:46 you can go to 3abnPlus.tv
04:50 and you will find videos, sermons
04:53 of that will cover this in great detail.
04:56 So we just encourage you to do that.
04:59 And here's a great question to start with,
05:02 because this is one of the most important things
05:05 in the Christian life.
05:07 And that is, "How do we get the gift of the Holy Spirit,"
05:11 Ryan? All right. Yeah.
05:12 That's a great question.
05:14 I'm glad whoever submitted that question
05:15 gave this question to us 'cause it's a good one.
05:18 You know, first I wanna say, I believe that every person,
05:21 it doesn't matter whether they're a sinner
05:23 or an unrepentant sinner or a person
05:26 who's in relationship with Christ.
05:27 I believe the Holy Spirit works on everyone.
05:30 I believe the Holy Spirit works on us,
05:32 convicts us and try to lead us to Christ at all times.
05:35 But I believe that the nature of this question is asking,
05:37 how do we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,
05:40 so that the Holy Spirit not only works on us,
05:42 but works in us and through us.
05:44 And the text that comes to my mind,
05:46 of course, comes from Acts Chapter 2,
05:49 specifically verse 38.
05:51 Peter had just preached a powerful sermon
05:53 to the Jewish people there on the day of Pentecost.
05:55 And the Bible says they were cut to the heart.
05:57 And so they asked him what must we do?
06:00 And his response, Acts 2:38.
06:02 The Bible says, it says, "Then Peter said to them,
06:04 'Repent and let every one of you be baptized
06:07 in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ
06:08 for the remission of your sins.
06:10 And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"
06:14 So the precursor to receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit,
06:17 again, to work through us and to work in us
06:20 and through us is we must repent.
06:23 That is confession and repentance
06:24 is involved in this.
06:26 If you wanna receive the Holy Spirit to work in you
06:28 and through you,
06:29 then you must repent of your sins.
06:30 And, of course, another good question
06:32 for someone to submit would be, what is true repentance?
06:35 But I'll give you a quick answer real quick.
06:36 And that is, it's a sorrowing thought
06:39 and a turning away from sin.
06:41 If we're gonna truly repent,
06:42 we have to have that sorrowing heart,
06:44 that desire for God to cleanse us
06:46 and to save us from our sin.
06:48 And so in order for the Holy Spirit
06:50 to work in us and through us,
06:51 for us to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,
06:53 we must be repentant
06:55 and, of course, be baptized and follow
06:57 the commands of Jesus.
06:58 Another great chapter to read,
07:00 don't have enough time to go through it right now.
07:01 But John Chapter 3, that great conversation
07:04 between Jesus and Nicodemus.
07:06 Jesus tells him about the Holy Spirit,
07:08 how he makes a differentiation
07:09 between the flesh and the spirit.
07:11 And he says, the spirit is somewhat like the wind.
07:13 It comes and goes and it comes here and there.
07:15 But yet we know there's a time
07:16 in which we can receive the Holy Spirit,
07:18 but it's dependent on John 3:14-15.
07:22 He says, "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
07:24 so we must also the...
07:27 Also the Son of man must be lifted up."
07:29 So as we uplift Jesus, the Holy Spirit will work in us
07:32 and through us in our life.
07:34 Amen and amen.
07:35 And you know, I just want to encourage you
07:36 when you're praying,
07:38 pray for the gift of repentance,
07:39 because Acts 5:31 says
07:41 that God gave us Jesus to grant us repentance.
07:45 So it helps me to pray for the gift of repentance,
07:48 because I can't even do that by myself.
07:51 Johnny, let's go to you.
07:52 This is an interesting question.
07:54 This is from Andy in West Salem and says,
07:58 "How far do you think God will allow man
08:00 to go into space?"
08:03 God stopped the tower of Babel
08:05 and now man claims to have gone to Mars.
08:10 That is a good question.
08:12 And since this is a Bible answer program,
08:16 I have to tell you that the Bible
08:17 doesn't specifically say that the Lord has say,
08:21 well, I'll let them go to Mars and not beyond that.
08:25 However, I do wanna say something
08:27 about the tower of Babel, the tower of Babel,
08:31 the Lord destroyed that plan, that project,
08:34 because God had told them
08:37 that He will not destroy the earth with a flood.
08:41 And the project was to build a tower
08:43 so high
08:44 that in case the Lord changed His mind,
08:46 we are gonna go climb on this tower and be safe.
08:49 So the Lord had to destroy the tower Babel
08:53 and besides the Lord wanted them
08:55 to spread throughout the earth
08:56 and they were remaining in one place.
08:58 Now concerning this,
08:59 there is a scripture that is very interesting,
09:01 that I would like for you to consider.
09:03 And that is found in Job Chapter 12.
09:09 Let's see, it says Job Chapter 12,
09:10 is it verse 5?
09:12 Yes, no, no, no.
09:13 Just a moment here.
09:15 I found it over here
09:16 and we're gonna share that 14:5, it says here.
09:19 Job Chapter 14?
09:21 Chapter 14:5.
09:22 Chapter 14.
09:24 I'm gonna read verse 4 as well.
09:25 It says here,
09:26 "Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
09:28 No one, since his days are determined,
09:31 the number of his months is with you,
09:36 you have appointed his limits so that he cannot pass.''
09:40 So perhaps the Lord has in His mind
09:44 that a man can travel so far and not beyond that.
09:49 If the Lord desires to stop man, He will.
09:52 There's no...
09:54 Nothing can limit God.
09:56 There is a scripture also that I wanna read with you
09:58 perhaps may fit into this In 1 Timothy 6:16
10:02 concerning God, it says,
10:03 "Who alone has immortality
10:05 dwelling in inapproachable light
10:07 whom no man has seen or can see,
10:10 to whom be honor and everlasting power.
10:12 Amen."
10:14 So He dwells in inapproachable light.
10:16 So to get to where God is, man can't do it.
10:19 Amen, amen.
10:21 Amen, good answer.
10:23 All right, Jay, can you please,
10:26 this question is from Raquel in Jamaica.
10:29 Thank you, Raquel.
10:31 "Can you please explain Matthew 10:34-36?"
10:36 Sure thing. Hi, Raquel, first off.
10:40 One thing for us to consider as we dive into this passages
10:43 that there's a war going on between good and evil,
10:46 between God and Satan.
10:48 And unfortunately, some people
10:50 choose to serve the devil whether directly or indirectly.
10:54 So let's read Matthew 10:34-36,
10:59 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth."
11:03 If you look at our earth, it's in a sinful state,
11:06 it's a sinful world.
11:08 "I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
11:11 For I have come to set a man against his father,
11:16 a daughter against her mother,
11:17 and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law
11:20 and a man's enemies will be those of his own household."
11:25 Hebrews 4:12-13 says this,
11:30 ''For the word of God is living and powerful
11:33 and sharper than any two-edge sword
11:35 piercing even to the division of soul and spirit
11:40 and of joints and marrow,
11:43 and is a discerner of the thoughts
11:46 and intents of the heart.
11:48 And there is no creature hidden from His sight,
11:50 but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him
11:54 to whom we must give account.
11:56 The peace that God brings is between man and God."
12:01 Isaiah 26:3 says,
12:04 "You will keep Him in perfect peace
12:07 whose mind is stayed on you because He trusts in you."
12:11 And Romans 5:1 says,
12:14 "Therefore having been justified by faith,
12:17 we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
12:22 We see examples of Matthew 10:34-36
12:27 being played out today.
12:29 If you stand firm on the principles
12:31 that are found in God's Word,
12:34 I guarantee you're gonna have some kind of enemies
12:37 because we seem to be living in a society
12:39 that appreciates enablers more than people
12:44 that will correct wrongdoing or stand up
12:47 and stand firm on principle.
12:49 And so all you have to do is look around you
12:52 and you will see Matthew 10:34-36 playing out.
12:57 Amen.
12:58 So truth does bring division, right?
13:01 Sure, sure.
13:02 It's to bring division between good and evil.
13:05 And we thank you for that question.
13:07 Once again, if you would like to submit a question
13:09 for our consideration,
13:11 you can text that to (618) 228-39 75,
13:17 or you can email us
13:20 3abnQA@3abn...
13:26 Let me start that over.
13:27 Email us at- BibleQA@3abn.org
13:33 I'll get that.
13:35 All right.
13:36 Johnny, this is from Octavia
13:40 in Trinidad and Tobago.
13:43 "I've heard different interpretations
13:46 of this occurrence.
13:48 What exactly did Ham do wrong?
13:51 Noah was drunk and uncovered in his tent.
13:54 Ham saw him and told his brothers
13:56 and they went backwards and covered him.
13:58 The interpretation of this
14:00 by some people is disturbing me.
14:02 Can you clarify for me?"
14:06 I thank you for this question and I am not sure
14:10 if this question is very similar to one
14:14 that came in many, many years ago here at 3ABN.
14:17 And I have to be very careful how I express this
14:20 because I don't want to be disrespectful
14:23 because the person that called was a black gentleman
14:27 and he was very upset because in his denomination
14:31 they told him he was cursed because he was black.
14:34 And justification according to them
14:37 was because of this passage
14:40 that is in the Bible because of what Ham did.
14:44 I want to say to you that the Bible does not say
14:47 that the black community
14:51 or those of dark color like this are cursed
14:56 and they're gonna be slaves.
14:58 And unfortunately, some people have used this
15:00 to justify slavery,
15:01 which is not justifiable in this way in the Bible.
15:06 Now let's look at Genesis Chapter 9
15:09 and see what actually happened here.
15:14 In Genesis Chapter 9, what happened here
15:18 is that Ham entered the tent where Noah was,
15:21 and he was naked there.
15:23 And apparently,
15:25 he did something that was shameful.
15:27 He told his brothers and perhaps was making fun
15:30 of his father's appearance.
15:32 And now it says in verse 20, Genesis 9:20,
15:38 "And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
15:41 Then he drank of the wine and was drunk
15:44 and became uncovered in his tent.
15:45 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father
15:49 and told his two brothers.
15:51 But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it
15:54 on both their shoulders and went backward and covered
15:57 the nakedness of their father.
15:58 Their faces were turned away, and they did not see
16:01 their father's nakedness."
16:02 So verse 24 and 25.
16:05 "So Noah awoke from his wine,
16:07 and knew what his younger son had done to him."
16:10 Then he said, "Curse be Canaan became,
16:12 a servant of servants he shall be to his brethren."
16:15 And so this is all the Bible says.
16:17 So I tell you, the Bible does not say,
16:20 and I'm not sure if this is what your concern
16:21 is that this is why you're upset.
16:23 It does not say
16:24 that the black people are cursed and they have...
16:28 This gentleman says I can only advance so far
16:30 in the church because they say I'm cursed.
16:32 You're not cursed.
16:34 God loves you.
16:35 And the fact that it says that John 3:16,
16:37 "For God, so loved the world
16:39 that He gave His only begotten Son
16:40 that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish,
16:43 but have everlasting life."
16:44 According to God in Galatians 3:28, He says,
16:47 There is neither Jew nor Greek.
16:48 There's neither bond nor free.
16:50 There's neither male nor female,
16:51 for you are all one in Christ."
16:53 And I praise the Lord for that.
16:55 And so I say to you,
16:57 trust in the Lord with all your heart.
17:00 And by the way, Acts 17:26, one more.
17:03 And it says, "And God has made of one blood all nations of men
17:08 for to dwell on all the face of the earth,
17:10 and has determined the times before appointed
17:12 and the bounds of their habitations."
17:14 God loves you.
17:15 And this idea is not correct.
17:19 Amen.
17:20 I think of the Ethiopian eunuch, right?
17:21 In Acts Chapter 8, right?
17:23 That's right.
17:24 The Holy Spirit sent Philip to him.
17:25 That's right. Exactly.
17:27 That's a powerful point.
17:28 Great, great, great message.
17:29 All right, Ryan.
17:31 Yes, ma'am.
17:32 This is an interesting question.
17:34 I'm not sure, it's from Debbie,
17:35 but I don't know where she lives.
17:37 She said,
17:38 "Why do we hear of pastors committing murder?
17:42 Can evil really seep into pastors?
17:45 This seems more common nowadays.
17:47 How do we trust anyone, any denominations?
17:51 It seems that we can only trust Christ alone."
17:55 Absolutely.
17:56 You know, I completely understand
17:58 where this person is coming from
17:59 as far as the nature of the question.
18:00 As far as pastors committing murder,
18:03 I'm not saying that that hasn't happened.
18:04 Perhaps maybe it has in certain parts of the world,
18:07 but the truth of the matter is we have to be reminded
18:09 that Jesus made it very clear in Matthew Chapter 13,
18:11 that there are sheep and there are goats.
18:13 There are wheat and tares in the church.
18:16 And so our pastors, you know, pastors are men,
18:18 are they incapable of being affected
18:21 by the temptations and the wiles of the devil?
18:26 Obviously not.
18:27 And we have to understand here that you're absolutely right.
18:30 We first and foremost need to put Christ in our view,
18:33 we need to trust Christ
18:35 before we can trust anyone else.
18:36 Christ is the true shepherd.
18:38 However, I would say
18:39 that that does not necessarily mean that all men,
18:41 all pastors are untrustworthy.
18:43 I believe that there are true genuine
18:46 spirit led pastors out there
18:47 that we certainly can trust in a sense to give us
18:50 spiritual guidance and counsel
18:52 and help be there for us
18:53 and lead us in the way of the Lord.
18:55 Now, to answer the question,
18:56 you said can evil really seep into pastors?
18:58 Absolutely.
19:00 In fact, there are multiple passages
19:01 throughout all of Scripture,
19:02 some of which
19:04 I'm not gonna have the time to read,
19:05 but you know, a couple of passages
19:07 to come to my mind, Acts 20:28-31.
19:10 Paul is talking to the elders in the church there of Ephesus.
19:14 And he says to them, he says, "For I know this,
19:16 that after my departure
19:17 savage wolves will come in among you,
19:19 not sparing the flock.
19:21 Also from among yourselves
19:22 men will rise up, speaking perverse things,
19:24 to draw away the disciples after themselves.
19:27 Therefore watch, and remember that for three years
19:29 I did not cease to warn everyone
19:31 night and day with tears."
19:32 So was this an issue?
19:34 Of course, because again, where there's wheat,
19:36 there are tares.
19:37 Even Jesus said in Matthew 7:15-16,
19:40 "Beware of false prophets
19:42 who come to you in sheep's clothing."
19:43 But in really they are ravenous wolves.
19:45 And this is what he says.
19:46 He says, ''You shall know them by their fruits."
19:49 How can you know if a pastor is genuine?
19:52 Spend some time around him,
19:53 and if you spend some genuine good time
19:55 around this brother,
19:56 you will know,
19:58 you will know him by his fruits,
19:59 whether or not he is led by the Spirit of God or not.
20:01 And, of course, another passage I wish, again,
20:03 we don't have time to read all of it.
20:04 But Ezekiel 22:25-28,
20:08 where God Himself was rebuking Israel
20:11 and the leaders of Israel,
20:12 and He even talks about the priest,
20:14 the priest of the day, he goes on to say her priest,
20:17 speaking of Israel, the house of Israel,
20:19 "Her priest had violated my law and profane my holy things.
20:23 They have not distinguished between the holy
20:25 and the unholy, nor have they made,
20:26 known the difference between the unclean
20:28 and the clean.
20:29 And they have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths
20:32 so that I am profaned among them.
20:33 Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing
20:36 the prey to shed blood, okay,
20:38 to destroy people and to get dishonest gain.
20:41 Her prophets plastered them with untempered mortar,
20:44 seeing false visions, and divining lies for them,
20:46 saying, 'Thus saith the Lord God,'
20:48 when the Lord had not spoken.'"
20:50 So is it possible
20:51 that there are some bad pastors out there
20:54 that are not being led by the Spirit of God?
20:56 Of course, you shall not put your trust in man.
20:59 Always put your trust in God.
21:00 But if there is a good pastor out there,
21:03 a good man that you can trust,
21:04 the Bible says you shall either way know them
21:07 by their fruits.
21:08 Amen. Excellent, excellent answer.
21:11 I didn't know you could talk that fast.
21:15 Jay, we have a question for you from Mary Ann and she asks,
21:21 "What does glory mean?
21:23 If I'm to glorify God, what do I do?"
21:26 Wow.
21:28 Well, Mary Anne,
21:29 unfortunately the time does not permit
21:31 for a long answer,
21:33 but I will share a few things with you.
21:36 One, God's glory indicates His presence
21:38 as well as His value.
21:40 Let's look at Exodus 33:22,
21:44 "So it shall be while my glory passes by that,
21:48 I will put you in the cleft of the rock
21:50 and will cover you with my hand while I pass by."
21:54 Now, let's take a look at some ways
21:56 that we can glorify God.
21:59 Psalm 86:12, "I will praise you,
22:03 O Lord, my God with all my heart
22:06 and I will glorify Your name forevermore."
22:08 So we should praise the Lord.
22:10 Give Him thanks forever more.
22:14 Psalm 96:1-3,
22:17 "Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
22:20 Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
22:23 Sing to the Lord, bless His name,
22:25 proclaim the good news of His salvation
22:27 from day to day.
22:29 Declare His glory among the nations,
22:31 his wonders among all people."
22:34 So we should share Christ with everybody
22:37 and what He's done for us in our lives.
22:41 Colossians 3:17,
22:44 "And whatever you do in word or deed,
22:47 do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
22:49 giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
22:52 Continue to give Him thanks.
22:54 Matthew 28:18-20,
22:57 "And Jesus came and spoke to them,
22:59 saying, 'All authority has been given to Me
23:02 in heaven and on earth.
23:03 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
23:07 baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
23:10 and of the Holy Spirit,
23:12 teaching them to observe all things
23:14 that I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always,
23:17 even to the end of the age.'"
23:19 Amen.
23:21 So as Pop or Danny Shelton always says,
23:24 the blessing is on the go.
23:26 And I'll end with this verse, 1 Peter 4:10 says,
23:30 "As each one has received a gift,
23:33 minister it to one another as good stewards
23:36 of the manifold grace of God."
23:38 Use your gifts for His honor and glory.
23:42 Amen. Amen.
23:44 Very good.
23:45 John Dinzey?
23:47 This is from Karlina in Texas and Karlina,
23:51 we thank you for this question.
23:53 She says, "I keep hearing people say
23:56 that Satan is going to manifest himself
23:59 in his true identity
24:02 as he was created in the end times.
24:06 I can't find anywhere in the Bible
24:08 to support if this is true."
24:11 That is a good question.
24:13 Especially since you're hearing other people
24:15 saying this very thing.
24:19 If I stick to the Bible,
24:22 I have to bring it to 2 Corinthians 11:14,
24:26 and it says, "And no wonder for Satan himself
24:30 transforms himself
24:34 into an angel of light."
24:39 Several thousand years have passed since he sinned.
24:41 I believe he has lost some of his brilliance,
24:45 but he still has brilliance, I would say.
24:47 And he can transform himself into an angel of light
24:51 to deceive, for the purpose of deceiving people.
24:55 And so, yeah, this is what we can bring to you,
24:58 but will he manifest himself as an angel of light to say,
25:02 I am Lucifer, and this is the way I was?
25:04 Or is he gonna manifest himself as an angel of light
25:07 to just to deceive people?
25:08 This is more of a possibility.
25:10 In addition to that, we have in Matthew 24:23-24,
25:16 and in other places there in Matthew 24.
25:20 Notice what Jesus says.
25:22 "Then if anyone says to you, look here is the Christ
25:25 or there, do not believe it, for false Christs
25:29 and false prophets will rise and show great signs
25:33 and wonders to deceive if possible even the elect."
25:37 So I would not put it past the devil
25:40 that he would even try to appear as Christ
25:44 to deceive if possible even the very elect,
25:47 even to perform miracles
25:49 for the purpose of deceiving people.
25:52 Even to say the words that Christ said,
25:55 blessed are the pure in heart and then change,
25:58 twist the Scripture such as he did
26:00 when he was tempting Christ.
26:01 So our part is to stay close to the Lord,
26:04 trust in Him with all of our hearts,
26:07 asking Him to be our light and our guide.
26:10 So when temptations and deceptions come,
26:13 we will know what is the truth.
26:15 Amen.
26:16 Amen and amen.
26:17 You know I just want to remind you
26:19 that you can always go to 3abnPlus.tv
26:24 and look these programs up 'cause sometimes I know
26:28 if you're like me, I'm trying to sit here,
26:30 writing down everything,
26:31 all the scriptures you're giving
26:33 and we don't always get them, but you can watch
26:35 the video presentation and the deposit to get that.
26:39 A great follow up question to that, Ryan,
26:41 is from Faith in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
26:46 "Will we meet Jesus in the air or on this earth?"
26:51 Hmm. Amen.
26:52 Thank you, Faith, for that question.
26:54 If I'm understanding your question correctly,
26:56 the nature of your question,
26:58 I think it's in connection with the second coming of Jesus
27:00 or the return of Christ.
27:01 And so to answer that appropriately,
27:03 the Bible is overwhelmingly clear
27:05 that when Christ returns we will meet Him in the air.
27:09 In fact, the Bible makes it very clear
27:10 that when He returns,
27:12 His feet will not even touch the earth.
27:14 And so where do we get this from?
27:15 I'm gonna to start in Matthew 24:31.
27:18 The Bible makes it very clear.
27:20 It says, "And He will send His angels, speaking of Christ,
27:22 Christ will send His angels with a great sign of a trumpet.
27:25 And they will gather together His elect
27:27 from the four winds
27:28 from one end of heaven to the other."
27:30 And then now tie that with 1 Thessalonians 4:17,
27:34 it says, "Then we who are alive and remain
27:37 shall be caught up together with them in the clouds
27:41 to meet the Lord in the air.
27:43 And thus we shall always be with the Lord."
27:47 So depending on what you believe,
27:49 as far as the return of Christ, again, there's this,
27:52 in my opinion, this false,
27:53 very popular pre-tribulation rapture theory
27:56 out there that says, well at the rapture,
27:58 you know, Christ is going to take
28:00 the saints to heaven.
28:02 And then seven years later,
28:03 after the seven years of tribulation,
28:05 He's gonna return back
28:07 and then there's gonna be these thousand years of peace.
28:08 Well, the Bible does indefinitely speak
28:10 of a thousand year millennium
28:12 or a thousand year peace period.
28:14 But that thousand year peace period
28:16 immediately begins at the return of Christ.
28:19 And there's only one return of Christ
28:21 to come back and get His people.
28:23 There's not a pre-tribulation rapture
28:25 and then seven years later, a second coming
28:27 as many popular evangelical denominations
28:30 teach today.
28:31 So to be very candid,
28:32 to be very transparent and clear about this,
28:34 the Bible makes it clear that when Christ returns
28:36 to this earth to get His people
28:38 that will mark the beginning of a thousand year peace period
28:41 in which we are all, we will meet Him in the air
28:43 and He will carry us off to the kingdom of heaven,
28:46 where we will remain there a thousand years.
28:48 And then at the end of the thousand years,
28:50 and maybe another question
28:51 about the thousand year millennium.
28:52 At the end of the thousand years,
28:54 Christ will then come back and His kingdom will be here
28:57 on a new earth eventually.
28:58 Amen.
29:00 We need to do a Bible program on that for hour.
29:02 Yeah, absolutely.
29:03 That's a great... The distilled answer for that.
29:08 Jay, this one is from John Terreace
29:12 in Tennessee,
29:14 and he says, "How will God judge
29:17 those who have special needs?"
29:20 Awesome question, John Terreace.
29:22 I've been shown a revolutionary view
29:25 on scriptures that I have been reading.
29:28 And so I wanna share that with you right now.
29:30 So if you look at 2 Corinthians 8:12,
29:36 go there.
29:38 But as you're turning there, basically,
29:40 you know, some have what others don't have.
29:44 And the question is, does God know that?
29:47 The answer is yes.
29:48 So will some be judged for what they don't have
29:51 or will they be judged for what they cannot do?
29:57 2 Corinthians 8:12,
29:59 "For if there is first a willing mind,
30:02 it is accepted according to what one has
30:05 and not according to what he does not have."
30:09 The key is they are willing.
30:11 So the spirit indeed is willing, but what's lacking?
30:15 The flesh is weak.
30:17 Mark 14:38,
30:20 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.
30:23 The spirit is indeed willing...
30:26 Indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
30:29 Now, 2 Corinthians 12:9, "And He said to me,
30:33 'My grace is sufficient for you.
30:35 For my strength is made perfect in weakness.
30:39 Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast
30:41 in my infirmities
30:44 that the power of Christ may rest upon me.'"
30:47 Why is His strength made perfect in our weakness?
30:50 Hebrews 4:15,
30:53 "For we do not have a high priest
30:55 who cannot sympathize with our weakness...
30:58 Weaknesses, but was in all points tempted
31:01 as we are yet without sin."
31:04 Isaiah 1:19,
31:07 "If you are willing and obedient,
31:09 you shall eat the good of the land."
31:12 It all comes back to the point of willingness.
31:15 Those with special needs,
31:17 as long as they have a willing heart,
31:18 the Lord will make up the difference
31:21 in their willingness.
31:22 If they are obedient,
31:24 they will benefit from the promise
31:26 that the Lord has made.
31:27 The Lord is not looking to those who are just able,
31:31 but He treasures those
31:33 who without full abilities are willing.
31:37 Amen.
31:39 You know, you just think about,
31:40 if you're the parent of a special child...
31:42 A special needs child,
31:44 you discipline and understand that child in a different way.
31:50 And if you can do that,
31:51 think how much more loving our heavenly Father can.
31:54 All right, John Dinzey,
31:57 this one comes from Karlina in Texas,
32:01 and we've just done Karlina in Texas.
32:03 Let me give you one from Judy.
32:06 She says, "I know Jesus is not a created being,
32:10 but in Colossians 1:15,
32:13 the apostle writes
32:14 the firstborn of every creature.
32:17 Please explain what is meant by firstborn
32:22 in this passage?"
32:23 All right.
32:25 Yes, it does say in Colossians 1:15,
32:28 that Jesus is the firstborn of every creature.
32:32 I wish I had more time for this question.
32:33 Amen.
32:35 Because when you're talking about Jesus,
32:36 you want to say all the marvelous thing.
32:38 He is God having no beginning of days,
32:44 He has a life that is not borrowed.
32:50 He is God.
32:51 John 1:1-3, "In the beginning was the Word,
32:54 and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
32:57 He was in the beginning with God.
32:58 All things were made through Him and without Him
33:03 was not made... wasn't...
33:05 Nothing was made that was made."
33:07 And it says in verse 14,
33:09 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
33:11 And we beheld His glory,
33:13 the glory as of the only begotten of the Father
33:16 full of grace and truth."
33:17 So what does it mean
33:19 that He is the firstborn of every creature?
33:20 It is because of His status as God,
33:25 Him being God that He has preeminence.
33:28 And He's first in the rank,
33:29 not that He's the firstborn or the first,
33:33 first one to be created,
33:35 the first creature created.
33:36 No, He is not a creature.
33:38 He is God.
33:39 And so this idea that some have been teaching,
33:43 there is even a denomination
33:44 that has messed around with the scriptures
33:47 and tried to change what the Bible says
33:49 and kind of puts...
33:51 It says that He is God and puts a little g,
33:54 great mistake because God is God.
33:58 And I don't know how to emphasize that.
34:02 I'm telling you that He is not a created being.
34:06 He is not a creature.
34:09 He's God.
34:10 He made all things, and without Him
34:11 was not anything made that was made.
34:14 Amen.
34:15 So this word firstborn simply means
34:19 firstborn of every creature simply means
34:21 His rank is above every other.
34:24 Amen and amen.
34:26 And I just wanted to add to that, Judy,
34:27 that firstborn is a covenant term.
34:31 If you look at Exodus 4:22,
34:35 God calls Israel His firstborn son.
34:40 It's a covenant term, meaning preeminence, amen.
34:43 I can't keep my mouth shut.
34:46 Okay, Jay, "How does one find peace
34:50 when once little children are taken from Jesus' influence
34:55 into the enemy's influence?
34:57 That's hard.
34:59 How do we let go and let God?"
35:01 Well, this is a question that I would imagine
35:03 a lot of people have.
35:04 So let's consider the following scriptures.
35:08 Proverbs 22:6,
35:10 "Train up a child in the way he should go.
35:12 And when he is old, he will not depart from it."
35:16 Now the kid might stumble.
35:18 He might walk away for a minute,
35:21 but hey, I did that for 14 years
35:24 and God brought me back.
35:27 And I praise Him for that and a praying mom.
35:30 Isaiah 49:25.
35:33 It says, "But thus says the Lord,
35:35 even the captives
35:37 of the mighty shall be taken away
35:38 and the prey of the terrible be delivered,
35:41 for I will contend with Him who contends with you.
35:44 And I will save your children."
35:47 Claim that, claim that, claim that, Romans 5:6-8,
35:53 "For when we were still without strength,
35:55 in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
35:58 For scarcely
35:59 for a righteous man will one die,
36:01 yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
36:06 But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
36:08 in that while we were still sinners,
36:10 Christ died for us."
36:12 You should find great peace in knowing
36:14 that God wants to save your child
36:17 more than you want your child to be saved.
36:19 Amen.
36:21 Continue to pray for your child,
36:22 continue to love your child and live your faith
36:26 as a powerful witness to your child.
36:30 It speaks volumes.
36:32 Amen.
36:33 Wonderful answer, right?
36:34 I love to watch how you are growing in wisdom
36:38 and in stature with the Lord.
36:40 All right, Ryan,
36:42 I'm actually with you all's permission.
36:44 I'm gonna give you two questions in a row.
36:47 We'll take them one at a time,
36:48 but they're kind of are connected.
36:50 So this question is from Asha
36:56 in Trinidad and Tobago.
36:58 Yes, Asha. Asha.
37:01 Okay.
37:03 "Is Christ and God the Father one and the same?
37:07 Jesus ascended into heaven and is now seated
37:11 at the right hand of the Father.
37:13 I am confused?"
37:15 Okay.
37:16 This is a great, great, great question.
37:17 I appreciate you asking this Asha.
37:19 You know, the answer to this is yes and no because yes,
37:24 the Father and the Son are one and the same in the sense
37:28 that they have this, they share the same character traits.
37:31 They share the same goals, the same purpose,
37:34 the same agenda, etcetera.
37:37 They are one and the same when it comes to character
37:41 and so absolutely.
37:42 Now in the physical literal sense,
37:45 no, they are two distinct individuals.
37:47 And I think that's kind of where
37:48 your question was coming from.
37:51 I kind of can understand this question
37:53 because I grew up in a Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal faith
37:56 for more than 22 years of my life.
37:58 I believed that Jesus Christ was God the Father,
38:00 He was God the Son, He was, you know, God the Holy Spirit.
38:02 That's what I was taught.
38:04 And so, yes, when you hear someone say
38:06 you know that they are one being,
38:09 but yet you read certain scriptures
38:10 that makes it clear that it seems like there's two,
38:12 like He's sitting at the right hand of the Father.
38:14 Yes, they are one in character, but they are not the same.
38:18 Here's a few scriptures to support this.
38:19 First of all, go look at the vision that Daniel saw
38:21 in Daniel Chapter 7.
38:23 He sees the Ancient of Days seated on the throne
38:26 and there's a judgment scene there.
38:27 It's very clear that the Ancient of Days seated
38:29 there is God the Father.
38:31 How do we know that?
38:32 Because a few scriptures later, the Bible says
38:34 that the Son of man is seen coming in the clouds
38:37 and He approaches the Ancient of Days
38:40 who is seated on the throne.
38:41 So there's no doubt there.
38:42 You see the Father, you see the Son,
38:44 two distinct individuals there.
38:46 Also at the baptism of Jesus, right?
38:48 Jesus is baptized.
38:49 And what did, you know, the people hear
38:51 and even Christ hear, coming from the heavens,
38:53 this is My Son.
38:54 This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.
38:57 You know, God's not the author of confusion.
38:58 And I believe that at that very moment,
39:00 we can take that literal in the sense
39:01 that the Father's voice was heard from heaven,
39:04 declaring His blessing upon His Son
39:06 for the beginning of His ministry.
39:08 Also Revelation Chapter 5,
39:10 Jesus is seen as the Lamb of God.
39:12 He appears in the midst of the throne
39:14 and the Father is clearly seated already on the throne.
39:16 And He comes and He retrieves
39:18 or takes the scroll out of the hand
39:19 of the One who is seated on the throne.
39:21 So there is a separation there.
39:23 And, of course, the one that really gets me
39:24 very more, more clearly than anything
39:26 is Jesus withdrawing Himself often to go pray.
39:29 Who was He praying to? Himself?
39:31 'Cause He's praying to somebody.
39:32 He's praying to His father
39:33 because He needed His father's strength.
39:35 So yes, they are one and the same in character,
39:37 purpose, goal, agenda,
39:38 but they are two separate individuals.
39:40 Amen.
39:41 So, Ryan, I'm going to do,
39:43 because I feel like this is connected.
39:46 Can you please, this is from Tony asking,
39:49 "Can you please explain Revelation 1:14-15?"
39:55 I'm glad you asked this with this, because again,
39:57 not only are they two separate individuals,
39:59 but they're also the same in the sense
40:01 that the Son looks very much like,
40:03 almost a replica version physically of the Father,
40:06 as far as His physical appearance.
40:08 And so Revelation 1:14-15
40:11 kind of gives us some insight on that.
40:13 So I'm gonna read those two texts
40:14 and then we'll explain them.
40:15 It says, "His head and His hair were like
40:18 white like wool as white as snow."
40:21 So was the Ancient of Days in Daniel Chapter 7.
40:24 And His eyes like a flame of fire.
40:27 His feet were like fine brass.
40:29 And if refined in a...
40:31 As if refined in a furnace and His voice
40:33 as the sound of many waters."
40:35 Now there's a lot of symbolism here.
40:37 Obviously John is envisioned.
40:38 So you have to allow the Bible to interpret itself
40:41 and to unpack what these symbols mean.
40:43 So I did some research on this,
40:45 dug into my commentaries
40:46 and also into my Bible software.
40:48 And I'm gonna try to make sense of this.
40:50 So here it is, the breakdown of these two verses.
40:52 The symbol of white hair represents
40:55 the venerable knowledge, solid wisdom,
40:58 mature judgment, and purity.
41:00 Okay. It can mean all of those things.
41:02 And if you go read Isaiah 1:18,
41:05 that's a good text for reference in there.
41:07 The symbol of having eyes as a flame of fire represents
41:10 intensity of gaze and power.
41:13 You see that in Psalm 34:15
41:15 and also 2 Chronicles 16:9 as well.
41:19 It also can mean as well as the fact
41:22 that He sees all things good and evil.
41:25 And also the fact that His eyes were on fire like fire.
41:28 Often the Holy Spirit in the Bible
41:31 is likened to a fire.
41:33 A fire is a symbol of cleansing.
41:35 And it also makes sense when you compare
41:36 that to Revelation Chapter 5,
41:38 because the Lamb is seen
41:39 before the throne of the Father.
41:41 And He has the seven eyes, which are told,
41:44 is the seven spirits of God
41:45 that are sent out to all of the world.
41:46 So I believe that is the cleansing eyesight,
41:48 the spiritual pure eyesight
41:52 of the Lord who sees all things.
41:54 Also the symbol of defined brass represents purity
41:57 through trial and shredding down of works of sin.
42:00 Isaiah 48:10, and also Zechariah 13:9.
42:04 And the voice of the sound of many waters
42:06 in Jewish writings represents the majesty,
42:09 power and authority
42:11 as of the only and Supreme Creator.
42:14 Of course, you can reference that also in Revelation 14:2.
42:17 So what we're seeing there is the resurrected
42:19 majestic glorified Christ.
42:21 And we know because He says, this is the Son of man
42:24 among the lampstand.
42:25 So that's wonderful. Jay, where in...
42:29 This is Raphael's question.
42:31 "Where in the Bible does it say God doesn't change?"
42:36 My brother Raphael,
42:38 here are a few verses for us to consider.
42:42 Psalm 33:11, "The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
42:48 the plans of His heart to all generations."
42:51 Titus 1:2, "In hope of eternal life,
42:55 which God who cannot lie promised before time began."
43:00 And Hebrews 6:18, "That by two immutable things
43:06 in which it is impossible for God to lie,
43:09 we might have strong consolation
43:12 who have fled for refuge
43:13 to lay hold of the hope set before us."
43:17 Numbers 23:19 says,
43:20 "God is not a man that He should lie
43:23 nor a Son of man that He should repent.
43:27 Has He said, and will He not do?
43:31 Or has He spoken and will He not make it good?"
43:35 I hope those scriptures
43:36 are helpful in answering your question, Raphael.
43:39 Amen.
43:41 I'm gonna add too real quick.
43:42 Yeah, please. I was gonna add Malachi.
43:44 Malachi 4:6, God says...
43:47 Malachi 3:6 Malachi 3:6, God says,
43:51 "I am the Lord, I do not change."
43:54 In Hebrews 13:8, He says,
43:57 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
44:00 today and forever."
44:01 Amen. Amen.
44:03 All right, Johnny,
44:04 our final question from Kevin in Brooklyn,
44:07 "Where is, or what happened to the Ten Commandments
44:12 given to Moses by Yahweh."
44:16 That's a very good question.
44:17 People have been searching for it for centuries,
44:20 I would say, but I wanna give you the testimony
44:23 of the scriptures concerning where they were supposed to be.
44:26 In Deuteronomy 10:1-2 it says,
44:28 "At that time, the Lord said to me,
44:30 hew for yourself two tables of stone,
44:32 like the first and come up to me on the mountain
44:35 and make yourself an ark of wood.
44:37 And I will write on the tablets,
44:39 the words that were on the first tablets,
44:41 which you broke and you shall put them in the ark."
44:44 So the Ten Commandments were supposed to be
44:47 in the Most Holy Place inside the ark.
44:51 So what happened to them?
44:52 The people of Israel were taken as slaves several times.
44:56 The Babylonians took just about everything in the temple,
45:00 but the lists that have been found of materials
45:03 they took does not include
45:05 the ark nor the Ten Commandments.
45:08 So where are they?
45:09 Where are the Ten Commandments?
45:13 It is believed that the ancient people of Israel
45:18 saw what was happening and the rebellion
45:21 and that they were...
45:23 They took the ark and put it somewhere
45:24 where it could not be found in some cave somewhere.
45:27 Do we have, even the rabbis the Jews have this,
45:33 the same idea, the same concept among them.
45:35 So interestingly enough, during the time of Christ,
45:39 they say there was a stone
45:42 where the ark was supposed to be.
45:45 There was...
45:46 They don't know where it is.
45:48 The Lord is protecting this from hands
45:51 that should not be touching it.
45:53 That's right.
45:54 And I believe that when the time comes,
45:57 the Lord may reveal this in the human race,
46:01 but it is hidden away.
46:02 No one knows where it is.
46:04 No one has a map to find it.
46:06 And therefore, it is vain to search for it
46:10 because God is in control
46:12 and He may have angels keeping people away from it.
46:14 We just don't know where it is.
46:16 Oh, wonderful.
46:18 All, all excellent answers.
46:20 By the way I have a book about this thick
46:22 that talks about people trying to search for the ark
46:24 in different places and...
46:26 And some who've claimed to find it.
46:27 And those had all been disproved.

46:51 We do have just a few minutes for some extra questions.
46:55 This one is from Victoria in Maryland.
46:58 Anyone who wants to answer this?
47:00 She says, "I turned my life around about three years ago,
47:03 but the more I walk with Jesus, the less peace I feel.
47:08 He feels so distant and I'm exhausted.
47:11 Any thoughts?"
47:12 Absolutely, I'll start first
47:14 and if anybody wants to add, they can.
47:16 Victoria, I very much sympathize exactly
47:19 with what you're saying here,
47:20 because I think a lot of Christians
47:22 go through a despairing time, maybe a time of doubt,
47:25 maybe questioning, asking questions.
47:27 And sometimes it seems like
47:29 when we need God the most, He's just silent.
47:32 And there's characters in the Bible
47:35 who cried out to the Lord and wanted the Lord to come
47:38 to their aid in certain times, and God was silent.
47:41 But I believe that the answer to this question
47:43 is kind of a two-fold one.
47:44 And I believe what needs to happen in your situation
47:47 and in many other Christian situation is to pray
47:49 to the Lord and ask for Him to help you
47:53 do some self-examination.
47:55 Because when you do some self-examination
47:56 by the leading and guiding power
47:58 of the Holy Spirit, one or two things...
48:00 You're gonna come to one or two conclusions.
48:02 And that is, first of all,
48:04 if we believe in the promises of God's Word,
48:07 and we believe in the Word of Christ,
48:08 if you truly are in a relationship with Him,
48:10 then the Bible makes it very clear.
48:12 In fact, I'm gonna read John 14:27 here,
48:13 where Jesus Himself said, "Peace I leave with you.
48:16 My peace I give to you, not as the world gives,
48:20 do I give you.
48:21 Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
48:26 And so there's many other texts,
48:27 you know, Matthew 11 there where Christ says,
48:29 you know, "Come unto me, all you who are,
48:31 who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest."
48:34 Christ is the Prince of peace.
48:36 And so, you know, in your question here, you said,
48:38 you turn your life around three years ago,
48:41 but it seems like, you know, you feel Christ less
48:44 or there's peace less.
48:45 So it may be the case that may be
48:47 there's something missing there.
48:49 And Christ is trying to get your attention.
48:51 However, I don't wanna play judge here.
48:53 You may be in a relationship with Christ
48:55 and if you truly are in a relationship with Christ,
48:57 let me remind you
48:59 that 2 Timothy 3:12 makes it very clear.
49:02 Yes, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus
49:05 will suffer persecution.
49:07 There will be times when we go through some
49:09 despairing dark times, because the enemy
49:12 is at war with God's remnant people,
49:14 according to Revelation 12:17.
49:16 So do some self-examination, pray to the Lord and say,
49:19 Lord reveal to me.
49:20 Is there something missing?
49:22 You know, am I really in a relationship with You?
49:24 Is there something I need to commit to You?
49:27 Or perhaps, maybe you are committed
49:28 and the Lord will reveal to You.
49:30 No my child, you're walking in My way,
49:32 but the enemy is pressing hard upon your soul.
49:35 Reach out to Him
49:36 and He will provide that answer for you.
49:38 Amen.
49:39 Jay, anything would you like to add?
49:40 Amen.
49:42 Yes, just operate off of principle
49:43 and not feelings because feelings lead you
49:45 into a dangerous place.
49:47 But take God at His word.
49:49 And I don't know if you're going through any trials,
49:51 you may be experiencing trials,
49:53 but remember the fiery trial that Shadrach,
49:57 Meshach, and Abednego were faced with.
49:59 They went through that trial.
50:01 They held strong to God.
50:03 And as a result, it was a witness
50:05 to so many people.
50:06 So just hold on to that.
50:07 Amen. Amen. Johnny?
50:09 I want to add that the rely on the promises of God.
50:12 I also believe that we cannot trust
50:15 in our feelings.
50:16 You may feel depressed.
50:18 You may feel happy,
50:19 but the fact is that Jesus has promised
50:21 I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world,
50:24 whether you're going to trials or difficulties,
50:26 whether you're having your high,
50:28 your highest joyous moments.
50:30 Remember that Jesus Christ is with you.
50:32 He will never leave you nor forsake you
50:34 and continue searching for Him.
50:36 Continue reading the promises and really focus on Jesus.
50:41 Really focus on reading the scriptures
50:45 that talk about Him.
50:47 Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
50:48 and I would even really encourage you
50:50 to get the book Desire of Ages.
50:53 That book will draw you to Jesus Christ.
50:57 And you will see like a beautiful description
51:00 of His love and His concern, His salvation,
51:03 how He goes to even the...
51:06 What people would say, this is the worst of sinners,
51:07 don't go near Him.
51:09 Jesus goes to that person.
51:10 Amen.
51:11 So Jesus is our savior ever present,
51:13 and will never leave us nor forsake us.
51:15 Amen. Amen.
51:16 And, Victoria, just don't get into a performance mentality,
51:19 it is you are saved by grace through faith.
51:21 Let... Accept God's love.
51:23 Let Him love you.
51:25 And you'll find it easy to love Him back.
51:27 All right, we're gonna take a quick break
51:29 and we will be back in just a moment
