WEBVTT 00:00.720 --> 00:02.120 All right, good morning everybody. 00:02.900 --> 00:05.900 Great to be here at Faith Ward Baptist Church. 00:05.960 --> 00:07.400 It's about to say soul winning Baptist church. 00:07.480 --> 00:08.560 That's not where I am right now. 00:08.980 --> 00:11.580 So adjusting to the time change of coming from the Philippines. 00:12.340 --> 00:16.080 And so I want to just first thank Pastor Anderson for the hospitality 00:16.080 --> 00:18.520 and the opportunity to come here and preach. 00:19.120 --> 00:21.400 And we got to fellowship for a while last night. 00:21.540 --> 00:24.580 And also Brother Sagar I got to spend some time with yesterday as well. 00:25.040 --> 00:29.520 It's great to see some people that are still here 15 years later, 00:29.520 --> 00:33.820 because it's been more than 15 years since I've been a member here. 00:34.240 --> 00:37.480 And I did visit the church once I think 10 years ago. 00:37.960 --> 00:41.560 When my wife and I got married we went to our honeymoon in Sedona. 00:41.720 --> 00:42.880 So we came down here to visit. 00:43.420 --> 00:45.440 And it's great to see some of the same faces. 00:46.400 --> 00:49.300 And you know considering churches like this have a big turnover 00:49.300 --> 00:50.560 because of the hard preaching. 00:50.700 --> 00:53.960 It's great to see people that are still here more than a decade later. 00:54.260 --> 00:55.860 But also just a lot of new faces. 00:56.140 --> 00:58.540 You know people that I haven't met or I met briefly 00:58.540 --> 00:59.760 or I've seen you online or whatever. 01:00.120 --> 01:01.100 It's great to have you here. 01:01.220 --> 01:02.640 It's just great to have this opportunity. 01:03.280 --> 01:07.380 And you might think that I'm preaching on missions or soul winning 01:07.380 --> 01:08.800 since I'm a missionary. 01:09.040 --> 01:12.380 But honestly that just doesn't relate to the sermons at all today really. 01:13.060 --> 01:17.260 And I do want to quickly try to encourage you though with your soul winning. 01:17.620 --> 01:19.720 Because I know what it's like to be at a church 01:19.720 --> 01:23.540 where obviously in the Philippines it is very receptive. 01:23.680 --> 01:26.820 We actually have a few people here that were members of our church in the Philippines. 01:26.820 --> 01:30.280 And obviously the soul winning here is not as receptive. 01:30.940 --> 01:34.620 And sometimes you're kind of just going about your daily grind or weekly grind. 01:34.800 --> 01:36.700 You go soul winning, you get one person saved. 01:37.160 --> 01:38.400 And you get one the next week. 01:38.660 --> 01:41.520 And you might look online and see like crazy numbers 01:42.060 --> 01:44.120 and kind of lose your zeal for soul winning. 01:44.300 --> 01:47.880 But one thing to remember is you're rewarded for the work you do. 01:49.060 --> 01:52.820 Obviously if you're in an area and obviously Phoenix is a receptive area 01:52.820 --> 01:55.040 but if you're in an area that is not as receptive 01:55.040 --> 01:56.940 you're still rewarded for the work you do. 01:57.480 --> 01:59.800 And you can't do anything if people don't get saved. 02:00.340 --> 02:01.800 But the other thing I want you to understand 02:01.800 --> 02:04.680 is just the impact this church is having 02:04.680 --> 02:09.220 not just in Arizona, not just in this nation 02:09.220 --> 02:11.140 but honestly in the entire world. 02:11.880 --> 02:16.240 You know we have probably 20 people at our churches in the Philippines 02:16.240 --> 02:19.360 that got saved from the preaching at this church. 02:19.940 --> 02:21.960 You know the first day we had church service 02:21.960 --> 02:27.860 we had regularly in the 20s, mid 20s for a normal church service 02:27.860 --> 02:30.240 from day one and not just people that were at church 02:30.240 --> 02:31.220 people that go soul winning. 02:31.740 --> 02:34.580 And obviously when somebody new comes to church that's awesome 02:34.580 --> 02:37.300 but getting them to take the next step to being a soul winner 02:38.000 --> 02:39.340 that's kind of hard sometimes. 02:39.700 --> 02:41.700 And from day one we had people. 02:42.100 --> 02:44.440 The church in Poland that Pastor Anderson mentioned 02:44.440 --> 02:46.380 there's a lot of people from that church 02:46.850 --> 02:48.560 that got saved from the ministry here. 02:48.560 --> 02:51.200 You know that Pastor Plevniac's wife got saved 02:51.200 --> 02:52.740 from the preaching at this church. 02:53.260 --> 02:55.100 You know our church in Melbourne you're actually going to meet 02:55.100 --> 02:56.940 several of the men here in a few weeks 02:56.940 --> 03:00.180 you know during the men's preaching training conference 03:00.940 --> 03:03.360 they got saved from the preaching at this church. 03:03.760 --> 03:06.280 So I want you to realize when you're going soul winning 03:06.280 --> 03:08.760 for a local church here in Phoenix 03:09.360 --> 03:11.560 it's like you're actually having a huge impact 03:11.560 --> 03:14.300 not just here but impacting people worldwide. 03:14.880 --> 03:17.600 So support your pastor, love your pastor 03:17.600 --> 03:19.620 through the ups, through the downs. 03:19.860 --> 03:22.300 Obviously you've been through it if you've been here for a while 03:22.300 --> 03:25.160 support him and you're helping a great work be done. 03:25.540 --> 03:27.360 Now we're here in Revelation chapter 2 03:27.360 --> 03:29.640 and notice what it says here in verse number 18 03:30.540 --> 03:33.320 and under the angel of the church in Thyatira write 03:33.320 --> 03:35.520 these things say at the Son of God 03:35.520 --> 03:37.680 who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire 03:37.680 --> 03:39.560 and his feet are like fine brass. 03:40.260 --> 03:42.580 I know thy works in charity and service 03:42.580 --> 03:45.500 and faith in thy patience and thy works 03:45.500 --> 03:48.200 and the last to be more than the first. 03:48.800 --> 03:50.440 Now in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 03:50.440 --> 03:53.360 you're going to have seven different churches listed 03:53.360 --> 03:55.680 and of those seven churches 03:55.680 --> 03:59.060 five of them have at least one thing negative mentioned. 03:59.780 --> 04:01.820 And even if you are a great church 04:01.820 --> 04:03.480 you have ups, you have downs 04:03.480 --> 04:05.120 you have problems that you have to deal with 04:05.120 --> 04:06.920 and of these seven churches 04:07.450 --> 04:09.120 five of them have at least one issue 04:09.120 --> 04:11.040 but it's important to understand 04:11.040 --> 04:13.240 that all of these seven churches 04:13.240 --> 04:15.820 are bona fide and real churches 04:15.820 --> 04:18.780 that God has a stamp of approval on. 04:19.320 --> 04:21.680 So realize if we were to bring this to the modern day 04:22.080 --> 04:24.320 the church in Thyatira would not be 04:24.320 --> 04:25.980 the Pentecostal church down the street. 04:26.440 --> 04:28.080 It would not be the Mormons. 04:28.500 --> 04:30.080 It would not be the Catholics. 04:30.640 --> 04:33.320 You'd be looking at a fundamental Baptist 04:33.320 --> 04:34.460 soul winning church. 04:34.900 --> 04:37.520 You know a church like faithful word Baptist church 04:37.520 --> 04:38.880 or a like minded church 04:38.880 --> 04:40.860 that is what you would be looking at. 04:40.860 --> 04:42.680 Now it's important to understand this 04:42.680 --> 04:44.220 because when you read verse 20 04:44.820 --> 04:45.740 it's kind of crazy. 04:46.220 --> 04:49.260 It says not withstanding I have a few things against thee 04:49.720 --> 04:52.180 because thou sufferest or allowest 04:52.180 --> 04:53.520 that woman Jezebel 04:53.520 --> 04:55.880 which calleth herself a prophetess 04:55.880 --> 04:57.900 to teach and to seduce my servants 04:57.900 --> 04:59.780 to commit fornication 04:59.780 --> 05:02.380 and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 05:03.080 --> 05:03.940 Now when you're reading that 05:03.940 --> 05:06.400 are those small sins or big sins? 05:07.240 --> 05:08.580 They're pretty big sins. 05:08.580 --> 05:10.600 And see a lot of people have this mindset 05:10.600 --> 05:12.640 well you know what if you're right with God 05:12.640 --> 05:13.740 you're never going to have any problems. 05:13.960 --> 05:14.940 No, what churches do 05:14.940 --> 05:17.600 many churches will cover their problems 05:17.600 --> 05:19.880 and just not reveal them 05:20.340 --> 05:22.380 rather than being open and try to pretend 05:22.380 --> 05:23.020 they don't exist. 05:23.180 --> 05:25.700 All churches are going to go through problems 05:25.700 --> 05:27.100 if they last through the years. 05:28.000 --> 05:29.660 This is a major problem 05:29.660 --> 05:30.820 but I want you to understand 05:30.820 --> 05:33.980 this woman isn't really like Joyce Meyer 05:34.580 --> 05:35.860 because there's no way 05:35.860 --> 05:37.780 you would let Joyce Meyer preach this church. 05:38.440 --> 05:40.100 This isn't a Pentecostal church. 05:40.740 --> 05:42.440 It's not like Pastor Anderson said 05:42.440 --> 05:44.600 hey you know what it's a special service 05:44.600 --> 05:46.400 we got Pastor Matthew Stuckey in the morning 05:46.400 --> 05:48.740 and then we got Mrs. Chris Stan Stuckey 05:48.740 --> 05:49.560 in the evening service. 05:50.640 --> 05:51.820 Doesn't work that way. 05:52.360 --> 05:54.440 You're not going to let a woman get up 05:54.440 --> 05:56.440 and preach behind the pulpit at this church. 05:57.680 --> 05:59.720 And so look I don't believe this woman 05:59.720 --> 06:01.860 Jezebel is like the Sunday morning 06:01.860 --> 06:03.600 preacher or the Sunday night preacher 06:03.600 --> 06:05.880 but obviously she is teaching people 06:05.880 --> 06:07.580 in a very subtle way 06:07.580 --> 06:10.200 and just teaching these wicked and horrible things. 06:10.500 --> 06:12.200 But this is not a Pentecostal church. 06:12.640 --> 06:13.840 It's not the Mormons. 06:14.140 --> 06:16.460 This is a legitimate, real, what we would say 06:16.460 --> 06:18.220 is fundamental Baptist type church 06:18.220 --> 06:21.020 here with the church in Thyatira. 06:21.520 --> 06:23.080 Another thing to take note of here 06:23.080 --> 06:25.700 is the Bible says her name is Jezebel. 06:26.200 --> 06:27.860 Now of course you see the name Jezebel 06:27.860 --> 06:29.520 and the first thing that comes to your mind 06:29.520 --> 06:31.240 is Jezebel from the Old Testament. 06:31.240 --> 06:34.380 I would say the most evil and wicked woman 06:34.380 --> 06:37.080 in the entire Bible is Jezebel. 06:37.680 --> 06:40.420 And so when it comes to this person named Jezebel 06:40.420 --> 06:41.880 there's kind of two ways to look at this. 06:42.420 --> 06:44.860 Either the parents didn't really care 06:44.860 --> 06:46.900 that this Jezebel is this wicked person 06:46.900 --> 06:47.700 from the Old Testament 06:48.300 --> 06:50.660 or the Bible is just kind of using it 06:50.660 --> 06:51.900 to describe her. 06:52.200 --> 06:53.720 Kind of like he's a Judas 06:54.380 --> 06:56.080 or she's a Jezebel. 06:57.500 --> 06:59.860 Either way I want you to realize 06:59.860 --> 07:03.480 the Bible is connecting the Old Testament Jezebel 07:03.480 --> 07:05.820 with the New Testament Jezebel. 07:06.180 --> 07:07.300 And I want to prove that to you further. 07:07.440 --> 07:08.840 Notice what it says here in verse 20. 07:09.720 --> 07:10.060 It says, 07:10.700 --> 07:12.660 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee 07:12.660 --> 07:15.060 because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel 07:15.060 --> 07:17.120 which calleth herself a prophetess 07:17.120 --> 07:19.420 to teach and to seduce my servants 07:19.420 --> 07:20.800 to commit fornication 07:20.800 --> 07:23.380 and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 07:23.520 --> 07:24.960 The Bible mentions two things here. 07:25.400 --> 07:27.840 Number one, to commit fornication. 07:27.840 --> 07:31.960 Number two, eating things sacrificed unto idols. 07:32.200 --> 07:34.400 Now turn your Bible to 2 Kings chapter 9. 07:34.800 --> 07:35.980 2 Kings chapter 9. 07:47.070 --> 07:48.510 And I think on Wednesday nights 07:48.510 --> 07:50.210 you just went through 2 Kings chapter 9 07:50.210 --> 07:52.570 the destruction and demise of Jezebel. 07:53.030 --> 07:55.370 And here's what it says about Jezebel here 07:55.370 --> 07:58.190 in 2 Kings chapter 9 verse number 22. 08:00.030 --> 08:02.510 And it came to pass when Joram saw Jehu 08:02.510 --> 08:03.110 that he said, 08:03.250 --> 08:04.330 Is it peace, Jehu? 08:04.650 --> 08:05.210 And answered, 08:05.210 --> 08:08.970 What peace so long as the hordoms of thy mother Jezebel 08:08.970 --> 08:11.410 and her witchcrafts are so many? 08:12.370 --> 08:13.870 Now what it said in the New Testament was 08:14.770 --> 08:17.750 fornication and eating things sacrificed unto idols. 08:18.550 --> 08:19.530 Here in the Old Testament, 08:19.830 --> 08:21.770 different woman, different Jezebel 08:21.770 --> 08:22.850 and it says, 08:23.910 --> 08:26.110 Hordoms and Witchcrafts. 08:26.590 --> 08:28.310 Now obviously you know there's a literal sense 08:28.310 --> 08:29.110 of being a whore 08:29.110 --> 08:30.730 and there's a symbolic sense 08:30.730 --> 08:33.170 of just basically cheating on the true God 08:33.170 --> 08:35.470 but when you're thinking of hordoms 08:35.470 --> 08:37.690 you're thinking of sexual sin, right? 08:38.270 --> 08:39.470 Now remember it said in the New Testament 08:40.010 --> 08:40.490 fornication. 08:41.310 --> 08:44.310 Fornication and hordoms line up pretty well, don't they? 08:45.110 --> 08:46.390 The other thing mentioned is 08:46.390 --> 08:48.710 eating things sacrificed unto idols. 08:48.930 --> 08:50.090 So think of idolatry 08:50.090 --> 08:52.150 and it says witchcraft. 08:53.050 --> 08:54.570 Now at first glance you might say 08:54.570 --> 08:55.410 well what's the connection 08:55.410 --> 08:57.590 between idolatry and witchcraft? 08:58.110 --> 08:59.290 And what I would say to you is 08:59.290 --> 09:00.090 you're only saying that 09:00.090 --> 09:02.590 because in America there's not a lot of idolatry. 09:03.070 --> 09:04.990 Because I'm telling you there are people here 09:04.990 --> 09:05.970 that are from the Philippines. 09:06.430 --> 09:08.050 There are people here from India 09:08.050 --> 09:10.250 and there is certainly sorcery 09:10.250 --> 09:12.330 involved in idolatry but not only that 09:12.330 --> 09:14.110 the Bible makes the connection 09:14.110 --> 09:16.090 between witchcraft and idolatry. 09:16.410 --> 09:19.030 The word witchcraft or witchcrafts 09:19.030 --> 09:21.210 appears in six different verses 09:21.210 --> 09:22.790 in our King James Bible. 09:23.230 --> 09:25.370 Now go in your Bible to 1 Samuel 15. 09:26.470 --> 09:27.750 1 Samuel 15. 09:30.150 --> 09:32.170 What I'm trying to do to you right now 09:32.170 --> 09:34.490 is just to show you there is a connection 09:34.490 --> 09:35.690 the Bible is making 09:35.690 --> 09:38.270 between the Old Testament Jezebel 09:38.270 --> 09:40.170 and the New Testament Jezebel. 09:41.230 --> 09:42.590 Of these six references 09:42.590 --> 09:44.110 one of these references as they're 09:44.110 --> 09:45.470 turning to 1 Samuel 15 09:46.090 --> 09:48.070 is in Galatians as there's a comparison 09:48.070 --> 09:49.510 between the works of the flesh 09:50.090 --> 09:51.170 and the fruit of the Spirit. 09:51.650 --> 09:53.710 When the Bible gives a long list 09:53.710 --> 09:55.750 of characteristics or sins 09:55.750 --> 09:58.330 it will usually link things together 09:58.330 --> 09:59.570 that are similar. 10:00.230 --> 10:01.930 And what the Bible says in verse number 20 is 10:01.930 --> 10:04.450 idolatry, witchcraft. 10:04.690 --> 10:06.210 Witchcraft follows directly 10:06.210 --> 10:07.590 after idolatry. 10:08.050 --> 10:10.190 The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 33 10:10.190 --> 10:11.990 verse 6 it says witchcraft 10:11.990 --> 10:14.510 the next verse says idol. 10:15.350 --> 10:16.290 In Micah 5.12 10:16.290 --> 10:18.010 the Bible says witchcrafts. 10:18.230 --> 10:20.370 Micah 5.13 it says 10:20.370 --> 10:21.710 image or 10:22.230 --> 10:22.590 idol. 10:23.490 --> 10:25.230 There's only six references. 10:25.230 --> 10:27.010 Those are three right there where they're 10:27.010 --> 10:29.090 directly connected and probably the strongest 10:29.090 --> 10:31.730 link is here in 1 Samuel 15 verse 23 10:31.730 --> 10:33.110 where the Bible says 10:33.110 --> 10:35.410 for rebellion is as a sin 10:35.410 --> 10:37.690 of witchcraft and stubbornness 10:37.690 --> 10:38.710 is as iniquity 10:39.230 --> 10:40.710 and idolatry. 10:40.890 --> 10:42.850 So in the same verse you're seeing a connection 10:42.850 --> 10:45.430 between witchcraft and idolatry. 10:45.710 --> 10:47.290 You say pastor what is 10:47.290 --> 10:49.230 the connection between idolatry 10:50.470 --> 10:51.670 and sorcery? 10:52.070 --> 10:53.230 You know in the Philippines 10:53.230 --> 10:55.070 the largest Catholic 10:55.070 --> 10:56.810 idolatrous festival happens 10:56.810 --> 10:58.210 every year in January 10:58.210 --> 10:59.750 in Metro Manila. 11:00.050 --> 11:02.770 You will have millions of people that hit the streets 11:02.770 --> 11:05.070 and there is this morbid 11:05.070 --> 11:06.890 and weird looking 11:06.890 --> 11:08.270 idol of Jesus. 11:09.170 --> 11:11.150 Now people here from the Philippines they know exactly 11:11.150 --> 11:12.970 what I'm saying. Maybe you've seen pictures 11:12.970 --> 11:14.930 I've posted. It's like the most 11:14.930 --> 11:16.770 grotesque and weird 11:16.770 --> 11:18.870 idol you've ever seen in your life. 11:19.410 --> 11:21.050 And there will be millions of people 11:21.050 --> 11:22.310 that crowd the streets 11:22.310 --> 11:25.190 and they believe that if they touch this idol 11:25.190 --> 11:26.870 it will forgive their sins. 11:27.470 --> 11:29.070 They believe if they touch this idol 11:29.070 --> 11:30.570 it will heal their cancer. 11:31.070 --> 11:32.650 They believe if they touch this idol 11:32.650 --> 11:33.890 they're going to be prosperous. 11:34.690 --> 11:36.430 They believe there's something supernatural 11:36.430 --> 11:37.930 about touching this idol. 11:38.790 --> 11:40.970 And look if you've ever seen videos of people 11:40.970 --> 11:42.930 that go to Mecca and touch the Kaaba 11:43.530 --> 11:45.250 they go crazy don't they? 11:45.850 --> 11:47.030 And they will say 11:47.030 --> 11:49.150 there's a supernatural feeling 11:49.150 --> 11:50.850 that comes over when you touch this 11:50.850 --> 11:52.090 that you cannot understand. 11:52.730 --> 11:54.610 You watch documentaries where people go to 11:55.020 --> 11:55.850 pilgrimages of 11:56.850 --> 11:58.610 Hinduism and they will say 11:58.610 --> 12:01.270 there is a feeling that comes over 12:01.270 --> 12:03.230 you that you don't understand. 12:04.370 --> 12:05.150 You say what is actually 12:05.150 --> 12:07.030 taking place with these idols? Well what I 12:07.030 --> 12:09.090 believe is that as they 12:09.090 --> 12:10.710 touch these idols even though 12:10.710 --> 12:12.550 it is a piece of stone or metal 12:12.960 --> 12:14.950 that idol acts as a mediator 12:14.950 --> 12:16.910 to pass devils from one 12:16.910 --> 12:18.050 person to another. 12:19.250 --> 12:20.070 And so basically 12:20.630 --> 12:22.530 as you're worshiping these idols 12:22.530 --> 12:24.490 all of a sudden all these spirits 12:24.490 --> 12:26.330 are being attracted and then 12:26.330 --> 12:28.690 as you touch this idol a supernatural 12:28.690 --> 12:30.670 feeling comes over you that you 12:30.670 --> 12:31.550 would not believe. 12:32.650 --> 12:34.470 There is sorcery involved 12:34.470 --> 12:36.650 with idolatry and the Bible is making 12:36.650 --> 12:37.350 this connection. 12:38.070 --> 12:40.250 The Bible is making a connection between 12:40.250 --> 12:42.010 the Old Testament Jezebel 12:42.710 --> 12:44.950 and the New Testament Jezebel. 12:44.950 --> 12:46.230 Go to 1 Kings chapter 18. 12:47.210 --> 12:48.270 1 Kings 18. 12:52.450 --> 12:54.390 Look even if you're not in church 12:54.390 --> 12:57.210 the name Jezebel has a very negative connotation 12:57.210 --> 12:57.830 doesn't it? 12:58.730 --> 13:00.750 I mean I kind of grew up 13:00.750 --> 13:02.670 in a Christian home but I didn't really regularly 13:02.670 --> 13:04.690 go to church. I didn't get saved 13:04.690 --> 13:06.770 at a young age but I knew 13:06.770 --> 13:07.590 the name Jezebel. 13:08.450 --> 13:10.590 I knew the name Judas. I knew 13:10.590 --> 13:12.550 the name Jezebel and of course 13:12.550 --> 13:14.810 if you were to call someone a Jezebel 13:14.810 --> 13:16.090 it was sort of like calling them 13:16.090 --> 13:18.150 a whore or something just really awful. 13:19.010 --> 13:20.710 It's like the worst insult 13:20.710 --> 13:22.350 calling a woman a Jezebel. 13:22.490 --> 13:23.870 And you know when you think of Jezebel 13:23.870 --> 13:26.470 what immediately would pop to my head 13:26.470 --> 13:28.570 because I grew up in a conservative home 13:28.570 --> 13:30.030 so I'm thinking 13:30.550 --> 13:31.470 Hillary Clinton. 13:32.630 --> 13:33.230 Right? 13:34.190 --> 13:35.190 I'm thinking 13:35.850 --> 13:37.030 Michelle Obama. 13:37.870 --> 13:39.550 I'm thinking Kamala Harris. 13:39.550 --> 13:41.470 I mean these wicked 13:41.470 --> 13:43.130 hardcore feminists it's like man 13:43.130 --> 13:43.930 they're Jezebels. 13:44.690 --> 13:46.990 But there's one major difference between 13:46.990 --> 13:47.950 those Jezebels 13:47.950 --> 13:49.930 and the Jezebel of the Old Testament. 13:50.710 --> 13:51.910 And the major difference is 13:51.910 --> 13:54.110 the Jezebel of the Old Testament was 13:54.110 --> 13:55.230 incredibly religious. 13:56.570 --> 13:58.490 I don't think any one of us would say 13:58.490 --> 14:00.270 that Hillary Clinton is a very religious woman 14:00.270 --> 14:02.090 or Kamala Harris. 14:02.950 --> 14:04.810 But see the Jezebel of the Old Testament 14:04.810 --> 14:06.750 was incredibly religious. 14:07.290 --> 14:08.590 And notice what it says here in 14:08.590 --> 14:09.490 1 Kings 18 14:11.390 --> 14:12.350 verse 17 14:12.350 --> 14:14.370 and it came to pass when Ahab saw 14:14.370 --> 14:16.830 Elijah that Ahab said unto him 14:16.830 --> 14:18.690 are thou he that troubled with Israel 14:18.690 --> 14:20.730 and answered I have not troubled 14:20.730 --> 14:22.310 Israel but thou and thy father's house 14:22.310 --> 14:24.290 and that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord 14:24.290 --> 14:25.990 and thou hast followed Balaam. 14:26.130 --> 14:27.830 Now therefore send and gather to me 14:27.830 --> 14:29.590 all Israel on to Mount Carmel 14:29.590 --> 14:31.890 and the prophets of Baal 450 14:31.890 --> 14:34.170 and the prophets of the groves 400 14:34.710 --> 14:35.530 Notice this 14:36.410 --> 14:38.170 which eat at Jezebel's 14:38.770 --> 14:39.050 table. 14:40.050 --> 14:42.190 I mean isn't it true when you read 1 Kings 14:42.190 --> 14:44.430 Jezebel is very closely connected 14:44.430 --> 14:46.010 to the false prophets. 14:46.730 --> 14:48.030 Why should he want to kill Elijah? 14:48.670 --> 14:50.630 Because he gets the false prophets put to death. 14:52.130 --> 14:54.110 So yeah I mean Hillary Clinton is a form 14:54.110 --> 14:54.790 of Jezebel. 14:55.570 --> 14:57.690 But honestly the Jezebel of the Old Testament 14:57.690 --> 14:59.550 was actually a very religious woman. 14:59.770 --> 15:01.870 And of course the Jezebel of the New Testament 15:02.850 --> 15:04.490 the Jezebel of the New Testament's 15:04.490 --> 15:06.010 doing this inside of a local 15:06.010 --> 15:06.850 New Testament church. 15:08.030 --> 15:09.430 So here's the thing about this 15:09.430 --> 15:11.350 when we're looking at what we would call 15:11.350 --> 15:13.050 the spirit of Jezebel 15:13.730 --> 15:15.450 it's more closely associated 15:15.450 --> 15:17.690 with something that's religious than non-religious. 15:19.050 --> 15:19.750 And the thing is 15:19.750 --> 15:22.070 obviously people like Hillary Clinton are awful 15:22.070 --> 15:24.350 and wicked and look 99% 15:24.350 --> 15:25.850 if not 100% of people here 15:25.850 --> 15:26.810 agree with what I said. 15:27.210 --> 15:29.650 And it's not controversial at a church like this. 15:29.650 --> 15:31.870 But see I think we can get the mindset 15:31.870 --> 15:33.650 okay Jezebel is so awful and 15:33.650 --> 15:35.650 wicked but this would never happen 15:35.650 --> 15:36.810 in a church would it? 15:37.790 --> 15:39.570 And yet the Jezebel 15:39.570 --> 15:41.290 of the Old Testament is very religious 15:41.290 --> 15:43.430 and the Jezebel of the New Testament 15:43.430 --> 15:45.530 she's doing this inside of 15:45.530 --> 15:46.730 a local church. 15:47.810 --> 15:49.790 Go in your Bible to 1 Kings chapter 16 15:50.550 --> 15:51.790 1 Kings 16 15:54.450 --> 15:55.510 And the name of the sermon 15:55.510 --> 15:57.630 is the spirit of Jezebel 15:57.630 --> 15:59.070 the spirit of Jezebel. 15:59.130 --> 16:01.730 Another way you could look at this is the spirit of feminism 16:02.210 --> 16:03.470 especially as it comes 16:03.470 --> 16:04.910 into a local church. 16:07.070 --> 16:08.350 Just a couple weeks ago 16:09.190 --> 16:10.310 my wife's parents 16:10.310 --> 16:12.270 they actually live in Washington DC 16:12.270 --> 16:13.810 and they were visiting the Philippines 16:14.450 --> 16:15.930 and so you know they took us out 16:15.930 --> 16:17.110 to the beach which was great 16:17.590 --> 16:19.270 and you know I like to relax 16:19.270 --> 16:20.790 you know when you're in the ministry 16:20.790 --> 16:22.350 because the ministry is stressful 16:22.350 --> 16:25.130 and tough and so I'm not just 16:25.130 --> 16:26.770 soul winning every single day you know I have times 16:26.770 --> 16:28.670 where I take breaks go on vacation 16:29.150 --> 16:30.910 relax like to do things with the kids 16:30.910 --> 16:33.350 so you know we're at the beach I just want to relax 16:33.350 --> 16:34.930 right I just want 16:34.930 --> 16:37.430 no stress no problems 16:37.970 --> 16:39.230 I want to just turn off 16:39.230 --> 16:41.130 my phone not think about anything 16:41.910 --> 16:42.350 and 16:43.050 --> 16:45.310 you know I got to give credit where credit's due 16:45.310 --> 16:46.870 to where I got this sermon idea 16:46.870 --> 16:49.110 and as I'm at the beach you know I get 16:49.110 --> 16:50.870 informed I hear that I've been 16:50.870 --> 16:52.910 called out in a video by 16:52.910 --> 16:53.890 Tommy McMurtry 16:53.890 --> 16:56.390 I wasn't watching the video 16:56.910 --> 16:58.050 I didn't care 16:58.050 --> 16:59.770 and it's like okay whatever 16:59.770 --> 17:01.790 and then all of a sudden I see in the comments 17:01.790 --> 17:04.570 that not even just Tommy called me out 17:04.570 --> 17:06.530 but Cassandra McMurtry 17:06.530 --> 17:07.470 challenged me 17:08.990 --> 17:10.510 and I'm just thinking like 17:10.510 --> 17:12.550 what in the world it's just like 17:12.550 --> 17:13.810 don't you have enough problems 17:14.700 --> 17:16.470 and so she's the inspiration 17:16.470 --> 17:17.070 for the sermon 17:17.830 --> 17:20.310 I had a different sermon planned 17:20.310 --> 17:21.710 just a couple weeks ago 17:22.250 --> 17:24.170 and then she called me out and it's just like 17:24.170 --> 17:26.210 okay whatever and I got this idea 17:26.210 --> 17:28.230 I was reading Revelation I was like 17:28.230 --> 17:29.970 you know the spirit of Jezebel sounds like 17:29.970 --> 17:30.950 a pretty good sermon idea 17:32.290 --> 17:33.930 and so let me just read you a little bit 17:33.930 --> 17:35.950 of what she said and you know what 17:35.950 --> 17:38.390 I had never seen a single video 17:38.390 --> 17:40.390 of hers until a few weeks ago 17:40.390 --> 17:42.350 my life was so much better 17:42.350 --> 17:43.430 until a couple weeks ago 17:45.870 --> 17:48.250 I had never seen a single video 17:48.250 --> 17:50.310 of hers I had seen comments about things 17:50.310 --> 17:52.410 that she had said or a 30 second clip 17:52.410 --> 17:54.130 I had never watched a video 17:54.130 --> 17:55.670 but in preparation of the sermon 17:55.670 --> 17:57.930 I watched you know several different videos 17:57.930 --> 17:59.510 that she had and honestly 17:59.510 --> 18:01.310 I got done writing the sermon 18:01.310 --> 18:04.270 and I didn't add anything over the last week and a half 18:04.270 --> 18:06.130 where she went crazy for those that pay attention 18:06.130 --> 18:07.910 online I was like I'm done 18:07.910 --> 18:09.430 I got to get ready for the trip to the US 18:09.430 --> 18:11.310 it's like I already got my sermon content 18:11.310 --> 18:12.870 there's enough on the Baptist bias 18:12.870 --> 18:14.350 and other things that talk about this 18:14.350 --> 18:16.650 but here's what she said on YouTube 18:16.650 --> 18:18.350 this is a video where Tommy McMurtry 18:18.350 --> 18:20.290 is interviewing Joe Jones 18:20.290 --> 18:22.190 and apparently Joe Jones is better than us 18:23.270 --> 18:24.450 even though in 18:24.450 --> 18:26.790 Jude 1 he's preaching the false heresy 18:26.790 --> 18:28.250 with lasciviousness 18:28.250 --> 18:30.150 that the Bible is saying makes you a false prophet 18:31.690 --> 18:32.250 but 18:32.250 --> 18:33.310 here's what she said 18:33.310 --> 18:34.970 Matthew Stuckey 18:35.530 --> 18:37.390 this is my challenge to you 18:37.390 --> 18:39.850 please post time stamps and links 18:39.850 --> 18:41.770 to any video backing up your claim 18:41.770 --> 18:44.170 this is your claim in your exact words 18:44.650 --> 18:46.370 imagine being a pastor's wife 18:46.370 --> 18:48.130 and condoning fornication 18:48.130 --> 18:49.790 slash statutory rape 18:49.790 --> 18:52.310 while also condemning sex between a married couple 18:52.310 --> 18:53.710 now I made this comment 18:53.710 --> 18:55.290 because brother Ben Nam 18:55.290 --> 18:57.250 brother Ben the Baptist put up a video 18:57.670 --> 18:58.930 and I made a comment on it 18:58.930 --> 19:01.530 and you know he showed in the video exactly what I'm saying 19:01.530 --> 19:02.590 and then I commented on it 19:02.590 --> 19:05.090 and she says I have never done either 19:05.710 --> 19:07.330 okay well we'll see later on in the sermon 19:08.030 --> 19:08.510 okay 19:09.130 --> 19:11.050 I will be waiting for you to back up 19:11.050 --> 19:12.590 your claims with my exact quotes 19:12.590 --> 19:13.930 from when I said those two things 19:14.450 --> 19:16.170 edit if you do not provide 19:16.170 --> 19:17.790 your proof of exact quotes 19:17.790 --> 19:19.610 or take back your statement 19:19.610 --> 19:22.990 with an apology for bold face lying 19:22.990 --> 19:24.390 let it be noted 19:24.390 --> 19:25.810 that you are a liar 19:26.430 --> 19:28.250 railer and a slanderer 19:28.250 --> 19:30.570 okay so I kind of look at it like this 19:30.570 --> 19:32.010 it's kind of like on the playground 19:32.010 --> 19:33.750 it's like you say something mean 19:33.750 --> 19:35.310 it's like no that's not me I'm rubber 19:35.310 --> 19:37.050 you know bounces off of me 19:37.050 --> 19:38.990 because I said Tommy McMurtry is the biggest 19:38.990 --> 19:41.190 railer but one thing I liked 19:41.190 --> 19:43.210 about the statement notice she said at the end of that 19:44.290 --> 19:45.250 liar, railer 19:45.250 --> 19:46.190 and a slanderer 19:46.910 --> 19:49.310 it sounds like she knows what railing is 19:50.670 --> 19:51.870 it's like good job 19:52.670 --> 19:53.630 maybe your husband 19:53.630 --> 19:55.250 can preach on it because that's clearly 19:55.250 --> 19:57.310 about lying, slandering 19:57.310 --> 19:59.590 that's the context it's like well she got that right 20:01.330 --> 20:03.010 and so she made this statement 20:03.010 --> 20:05.030 and I was just like you know what whatever 20:05.030 --> 20:06.510 you know I'll write a sermon about it 20:06.510 --> 20:09.250 the spirit of Jezebel and we'll look at it later on 20:09.250 --> 20:11.190 you have to understand if you're a pastor 20:11.190 --> 20:12.410 and you put sermons online 20:12.410 --> 20:14.450 a lot of people challenge you 20:14.450 --> 20:17.050 and want to debate you and waste your time 20:17.050 --> 20:19.090 so me not responding wouldn't 20:19.090 --> 20:20.830 have proven anything it would just say I didn't respond 20:21.790 --> 20:22.630 okay but 20:22.630 --> 20:24.550 I am going to show you in the sermon because 20:24.550 --> 20:25.970 I have a lot of quotes from her 20:25.970 --> 20:27.890 that she said in various videos 20:28.330 --> 20:30.330 one of the main videos I got quotes from 20:30.330 --> 20:32.430 was a video called Am I a feminist 20:32.430 --> 20:34.310 and this is a video that came out about 20:34.310 --> 20:36.250 10 months ago where you know 20:36.250 --> 20:37.910 a lot of churches have said you know she's promoting 20:37.910 --> 20:39.150 feminist agenda 20:40.230 --> 20:42.490 and she's trying to defend the fact 20:42.490 --> 20:44.110 she's not a feminist 20:44.110 --> 20:45.730 okay keep that in mind 20:46.310 --> 20:48.350 she's defending she's not a feminist 20:48.350 --> 20:50.450 here are her exact 20:50.450 --> 20:51.010 words 20:51.010 --> 20:52.970 I have a lot of quotes 20:53.630 --> 20:56.070 in America if we had 20:56.070 --> 20:57.610 good men that were leaders 20:57.610 --> 20:59.550 and men were doing their role 20:59.550 --> 21:01.450 and men were doing their part 21:01.450 --> 21:03.810 and men were cherishing their wives 21:03.810 --> 21:05.790 and loving their wives as Christ 21:05.790 --> 21:07.670 did then there would be 21:07.670 --> 21:08.970 no need 21:09.370 --> 21:10.150 for feminism 21:13.350 --> 21:14.470 no need 21:16.870 --> 21:18.850 now she starts off this video 21:19.450 --> 21:21.230 talking about how feminism started 21:21.230 --> 21:22.750 is such a wonderful thing 21:23.670 --> 21:24.910 and it went wrong 21:25.810 --> 21:27.510 and I get a quick look 21:27.510 --> 21:28.030 on AI 21:28.730 --> 21:30.510 you know it would be a cool future sermon 21:30.510 --> 21:31.950 the history of feminism there's supposedly 21:31.950 --> 21:33.070 four waves of feminism 21:33.070 --> 21:35.510 the first wave of feminism what it did 21:35.510 --> 21:37.950 is it was like opening Pandora's box 21:38.630 --> 21:40.490 it wasn't like it is today 21:40.490 --> 21:42.650 but it set everything 21:42.650 --> 21:43.410 in motion 21:44.090 --> 21:45.950 and one of the things she mentioned is a good thing 21:45.950 --> 21:48.470 she's like the women were tired of their husbands 21:48.470 --> 21:50.790 getting drunk so they protested to make drinking 21:50.790 --> 21:51.330 illegal 21:52.010 --> 21:54.250 well show me we're drinking as illegal in the Bible 21:55.610 --> 21:56.510 it's a sin 21:57.570 --> 21:58.910 I'm against all drinking 22:00.010 --> 22:00.490 but 22:00.970 --> 22:03.250 are you just going to make every sin illegal 22:03.250 --> 22:05.830 I mean if God doesn't make it illegal 22:05.830 --> 22:06.770 it shouldn't be illegal 22:07.330 --> 22:09.110 and that was used to help the women 22:09.110 --> 22:11.510 get political power and get their voice out 22:11.510 --> 22:13.050 and then of course it's gotten worse 22:13.050 --> 22:15.090 and worse and worse but in our own words 22:15.090 --> 22:17.190 if men were doing their part 22:17.190 --> 22:18.870 and men were cherishing their lives 22:18.870 --> 22:20.130 and men did this 22:20.790 --> 22:22.730 then there would be no need for feminism 22:23.890 --> 22:24.810 she says later 22:24.810 --> 22:25.330 on in the video 22:26.090 --> 22:28.490 I think there is no need for feminism 22:29.470 --> 22:31.390 in a world where men do their part 22:32.510 --> 22:35.090 it's like half of that's a wonderful statement 22:35.730 --> 22:37.750 I think there's no need for feminism 22:37.750 --> 22:38.270 stop 22:39.090 --> 22:39.570 period 22:39.570 --> 22:42.210 end of story don't keep going 22:43.390 --> 22:44.770 but in a world where 22:44.770 --> 22:45.610 men do their part 22:45.610 --> 22:47.750 now here's the thing feminism exists 22:48.270 --> 22:50.190 because men didn't put a stop to it 22:50.190 --> 22:52.550 but don't tell me it's a good thing 22:52.550 --> 22:53.870 or there's a need for it 22:55.210 --> 22:56.390 later on in the video 22:57.550 --> 22:59.490 she talks about the wife 22:59.490 --> 23:00.770 following the husband 23:00.770 --> 23:02.490 and submitting to the husband 23:02.490 --> 23:04.130 and him being the leader 23:04.130 --> 23:07.450 and she says I don't mind 23:07.450 --> 23:10.030 being completely dependent on my man 23:10.590 --> 23:12.090 and 20 seconds later 23:12.090 --> 23:13.150 in the same context 23:13.150 --> 23:15.210 he pretty much gives me 23:15.210 --> 23:17.330 whatever I want 23:20.130 --> 23:21.590 this is in a video 23:21.590 --> 23:24.250 where she's defending, she's not a feminist 23:24.990 --> 23:26.070 you know what she's saying there 23:26.070 --> 23:27.170 when you put those quotes together 23:27.170 --> 23:29.790 her interpretation of Ephesians chapter 5 23:29.790 --> 23:31.730 men laying down their lives 23:31.730 --> 23:32.930 and loving their wives 23:32.930 --> 23:35.290 do everything your wives want 23:36.190 --> 23:37.330 that's what she's saying 23:37.330 --> 23:40.370 I mean is that your interpretation of Ephesians 5? 23:41.490 --> 23:42.990 husbands love your wives 23:42.990 --> 23:44.170 as Christ loved the church 23:44.170 --> 23:46.310 therefore do everything they want 23:46.310 --> 23:48.290 give them everything they want 23:48.830 --> 23:49.830 never say no 23:50.450 --> 23:51.850 never say no to your kids 23:52.310 --> 23:53.570 never say no to your wife 23:53.570 --> 23:55.030 just give them everything they want 23:55.030 --> 23:55.990 no matter what 23:57.450 --> 23:59.370 sadly because a lot of men are doing that 23:59.370 --> 24:01.130 that's why churches like this have less people 24:01.130 --> 24:03.290 why? it's not that the men have a problem 24:03.290 --> 24:03.830 with this church 24:04.690 --> 24:05.650 it's the wives 24:07.410 --> 24:08.270 I'm amazed 24:08.270 --> 24:09.850 as I saw these videos 24:09.850 --> 24:11.370 all of these people 24:11.370 --> 24:12.890 that are ex-new IFB 24:12.890 --> 24:14.850 and people I know where it's like the wives 24:14.850 --> 24:16.750 are just throwing out all these statements 24:17.390 --> 24:18.710 husbands saying nothing 24:20.050 --> 24:20.770 here's the thing 24:20.770 --> 24:23.010 every single one of those men is embarrassed 24:23.010 --> 24:23.970 by their wives 24:24.810 --> 24:26.510 and they don't want to tell their wives this 24:26.510 --> 24:28.070 but inside their head they're thinking 24:28.070 --> 24:29.690 can you shut up 24:30.210 --> 24:32.810 it's like why are you embarrassing me 24:34.110 --> 24:35.170 that's what they're thinking 24:36.550 --> 24:38.050 man I'm trying to help these men out 24:38.050 --> 24:39.250 play this sermon 24:39.250 --> 24:41.290 and then maybe they'll get the preaching 24:41.290 --> 24:42.010 and figure it out 24:42.830 --> 24:44.710 because every single one of those men 24:44.710 --> 24:46.570 is going to be embarrassed by his wife 24:46.570 --> 24:48.430 acting brawling and loud 24:48.430 --> 24:49.990 and acting like a man 24:51.570 --> 24:52.750 and they're not going to say it 24:52.750 --> 24:54.630 you say why aren't they going to say it then 24:54.630 --> 24:55.130 if it's true 24:56.070 --> 24:57.990 because of the fact the bible says 24:57.990 --> 24:59.730 the married caret for the things 24:59.730 --> 25:01.010 of the world 25:01.610 --> 25:02.870 how we may please his wife 25:04.210 --> 25:05.950 and that's not necessarily a bad thing 25:05.950 --> 25:08.150 because if you're married you should want to make your spouse happy 25:08.150 --> 25:08.570 absolutely 25:09.210 --> 25:10.670 we do need to be better husbands 25:10.670 --> 25:12.450 we do need to spend time with our wives 25:12.450 --> 25:13.390 we do need to be loving 25:13.890 --> 25:15.570 but it's like all the emphasis 25:15.570 --> 25:16.530 it's men 25:16.530 --> 25:17.350 it's men 25:20.310 --> 25:22.330 and it's like the problem people have 25:22.330 --> 25:23.990 is this idea of submitting 25:25.090 --> 25:25.870 to your husband 25:26.750 --> 25:28.670 and then of course there's the pretty interpretation 25:28.670 --> 25:29.830 where it's like well you know what 25:29.830 --> 25:31.910 in those verses it's like you both submit 25:31.910 --> 25:32.490 to each other 25:33.510 --> 25:35.550 submitting one to another in the fear of God 25:36.370 --> 25:37.610 it's like when the bible just 25:37.610 --> 25:39.230 contradicts itself in the next verse 25:39.230 --> 25:40.830 where it says wives submit to husbands 25:42.950 --> 25:43.890 and so no the bible 25:43.890 --> 25:45.650 clearly teaches that wives are 25:45.650 --> 25:47.010 to be in submission you say well pastor 25:47.930 --> 25:49.730 I'm submitting to my husband right now 25:50.170 --> 25:51.250 because I'm at church 25:51.250 --> 25:52.670 well do you want to be at church today 25:53.450 --> 25:55.050 yes I do well that's not submitting 25:56.230 --> 25:57.350 you already want to do it 25:57.910 --> 25:59.370 what submission is 25:59.370 --> 26:01.630 is when there's something you don't want to do 26:01.630 --> 26:03.610 and you willingly submit 26:03.610 --> 26:04.970 or put yourself underneath 26:04.970 --> 26:06.550 like a submarine in the water 26:07.130 --> 26:08.330 underneath the wishes 26:08.330 --> 26:09.250 of your husband 26:10.310 --> 26:12.010 even if you disagree why 26:12.670 --> 26:13.710 because thus saith the Lord 26:14.510 --> 26:15.650 that's what the bible says 26:17.010 --> 26:18.910 you say but she said she's not a feminist 26:18.910 --> 26:20.370 yeah you know what 26:20.370 --> 26:22.570 I hear a lot of Pentecostals say 26:22.570 --> 26:24.070 they don't believe in a work salvation 26:25.830 --> 26:26.350 right 26:27.790 --> 26:28.850 Mormons all the time 26:28.850 --> 26:30.070 say we're saved by grace 26:31.330 --> 26:32.810 and then they redefine it 26:32.810 --> 26:34.250 in 2nd Nephi 25 26:36.290 --> 26:38.190 just because somebody says something 26:38.190 --> 26:40.030 doesn't mean it's actually true 26:40.730 --> 26:42.490 so it's like you're saying all these 26:42.490 --> 26:44.150 feminist things and then you're like 26:44.150 --> 26:46.190 you know I'm not a feminist I believe 26:46.190 --> 26:48.510 that women should follow their husbands 26:48.950 --> 26:50.910 but then you're saying all these other things 26:50.910 --> 26:52.230 that are against 26:53.190 --> 26:54.270 what the bible is saying 26:55.050 --> 26:56.670 right so you'd be the judge today 26:56.670 --> 26:58.570 I'm going to preach this sermon we have a lot of quotes 26:58.570 --> 27:00.970 we're going to see what the bible says about this Old Testament woman Jezbo 27:00.970 --> 27:02.490 you can decide for yourself 27:02.490 --> 27:03.490 whether or not she's a feminist 27:03.490 --> 27:06.550 in my opinion yeah it's pretty obvious 27:06.550 --> 27:08.270 she considers herself a prophetess 27:08.270 --> 27:10.470 she's so important wants to teach everybody 27:10.470 --> 27:11.810 it's like okay 27:11.810 --> 27:14.190 what the bible says just sit down 27:14.190 --> 27:16.290 shut up be meek and quiet 27:18.510 --> 27:19.470 point number one 27:20.250 --> 27:21.850 we're in 1st King 16 is this 27:21.850 --> 27:23.830 one of the problems with the Old Testament Jezebel 27:24.390 --> 27:26.310 is she causes her husband to sin 27:26.870 --> 27:28.690 she causes her husband not to 27:28.690 --> 27:30.790 serve God notice what it says here in 1st King 16 27:32.770 --> 27:34.110 in verse 29 27:34.110 --> 27:36.250 in the 30th and 8th year of Asa 27:36.250 --> 27:38.330 King of Judah began Ahab the son of Amri 27:38.330 --> 27:39.270 to reign over Israel 27:39.270 --> 27:41.650 and Ahab the son of Amri reigned over Israel 27:41.650 --> 27:43.110 in Samaria 22 years 27:43.110 --> 27:45.610 and Ahab the son of Amri did evil 27:45.610 --> 27:47.690 on the side of the Lord above all that were before him 27:47.690 --> 27:49.650 and it came to pass as if it had been 27:49.650 --> 27:51.230 a light thing for him to walk in the sins 27:51.230 --> 27:52.610 of Jeroboam the son of Nebat 27:52.610 --> 27:54.910 that he took to wife Jezebel 27:54.910 --> 27:57.190 the daughter of Rathbaal King of the Zidonians 27:57.190 --> 27:59.730 and went and served Baal and worshipped him 27:59.730 --> 28:00.750 so notice 28:01.670 --> 28:02.830 Ahab's not a good guy 28:03.650 --> 28:05.750 right he's already going down a road of sin 28:06.310 --> 28:07.530 he's already doing wrong 28:07.530 --> 28:09.930 but above that he married Jezebel 28:10.350 --> 28:11.470 and then he's 28:11.470 --> 28:13.250 worshipping all of these 28:13.250 --> 28:15.010 you know false gods 28:15.010 --> 28:17.230 right you're seeing the impact 28:17.230 --> 28:19.390 Jezebel has on him to do wrong 28:19.970 --> 28:21.050 and then the Bible says 28:21.050 --> 28:23.130 in verse 32 and he reared up an altar for Baal 28:23.130 --> 28:24.870 in the house of Baal which he had built in Samaria 28:24.870 --> 28:27.310 and Ahab made a grove and Ahab did more 28:27.310 --> 28:29.050 to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger 28:29.050 --> 28:30.410 than all the kings of Israel 28:30.870 --> 28:32.190 that were before him 28:32.190 --> 28:33.430 got a 1st Kings 21 28:34.250 --> 28:35.210 1st Kings 21 28:45.310 --> 28:47.210 look the reason why I'm showing you the Old Testament 28:47.210 --> 28:48.810 Jezebel is honestly 28:48.810 --> 28:50.790 there's not a lot of verses 28:50.790 --> 28:52.570 on the New Testament Jezebel 28:53.570 --> 28:55.530 obviously it tells us a little bit of information 28:55.530 --> 28:57.310 but the Old Testament Jezebel 28:57.310 --> 28:58.850 has a lot of information 28:59.470 --> 29:01.470 we can see the things that she didn't 29:01.470 --> 29:02.250 you know obviously 29:02.790 --> 29:05.010 you know when it comes to Jezebel the Old Testament 29:05.010 --> 29:06.290 this is the king's wife 29:07.030 --> 29:09.030 that's why we get the Hillary Clinton examples 29:09.030 --> 29:10.250 right the president's wife 29:11.830 --> 29:12.310 but 29:12.870 --> 29:14.210 in a local church 29:14.210 --> 29:16.650 how can this spirit of Jezebel manifest 29:17.170 --> 29:18.830 no she doesn't have the same power 29:18.830 --> 29:20.730 as Hillary Clinton or the Jezebel the Old Testament 29:20.730 --> 29:22.350 but inside of a local church 29:22.350 --> 29:24.410 a woman like this can do a lot of damage 29:24.410 --> 29:26.230 and honestly in today's world 29:26.230 --> 29:27.230 with social media 29:27.230 --> 29:30.570 you can do a lot of damage even outside your local church 29:31.110 --> 29:32.950 so you don't have to go from door to door 29:32.950 --> 29:34.470 to gossip I mean you can just pull out 29:34.470 --> 29:36.750 your phone and gossip to like thousands of people 29:36.750 --> 29:37.690 just instantly 29:38.550 --> 29:40.210 right I mean have you ever seen somebody on Facebook 29:40.210 --> 29:42.230 will post like they're having fights 29:42.230 --> 29:43.390 or something with their spouse 29:43.390 --> 29:45.590 and then they call out their spouse publicly 29:45.590 --> 29:47.790 online and everybody's thinking 29:47.790 --> 29:49.870 dude just take that down man 29:50.350 --> 29:52.310 why are you posting that publicly 29:52.310 --> 29:53.950 everybody is going to see it 29:53.950 --> 29:55.370 and you can't walk it back at that point 29:55.370 --> 29:56.050 what are you doing 29:56.790 --> 29:58.830 but yet in today's world with social media 29:58.830 --> 30:01.790 you can do a lot of great things with it 30:01.790 --> 30:03.610 I mean sermons go out 30:03.610 --> 30:04.610 to a lot of people 30:05.130 --> 30:07.390 but you can also do a lot of damage 30:07.390 --> 30:09.170 in a short amount of time as well 30:09.170 --> 30:11.210 here's what it says in 1 Kings 21 verse 25 30:11.210 --> 30:13.470 but there is none like 30:13.470 --> 30:14.930 on Ahab which did sell himself 30:14.930 --> 30:16.870 to work wickedness in the side of the Lord 30:16.870 --> 30:18.590 whom Jezebel 30:18.590 --> 30:20.750 his wife stirred 30:20.750 --> 30:21.390 up 30:22.570 --> 30:24.870 it's not that Ahab was a good guy 30:24.870 --> 30:27.130 it's not that he was going to be a good guy 30:27.870 --> 30:28.670 but look 30:29.040 --> 30:30.990 if you marry somebody really wicked 30:30.990 --> 30:33.270 they're going to cause you to do worse 30:34.010 --> 30:35.030 and Jezebel 30:35.030 --> 30:37.070 was an evil and a wicked woman 30:37.070 --> 30:39.470 and she stirred Ahab 30:39.470 --> 30:41.450 to actually do worse 30:41.450 --> 30:42.290 than he would have done 30:43.570 --> 30:45.410 go in your Bible to 1 Peter 3 30:46.310 --> 30:47.470 1 Peter 3 30:51.170 --> 30:53.750 but you can look at a great character 30:53.750 --> 30:54.490 like Solomon 30:54.490 --> 30:56.890 I mean the Bible says that Solomon 30:56.890 --> 30:59.430 married a lot of wives which is wrong 31:00.370 --> 31:02.230 but the Bible makes it clear 31:02.230 --> 31:04.310 that the wives turned away his heart 31:04.310 --> 31:06.290 because he's marrying ungodly women 31:07.610 --> 31:08.570 now the thing is 31:08.570 --> 31:10.050 if you marry somebody godly 31:10.470 --> 31:12.530 they can motivate you to do more for God 31:13.470 --> 31:15.250 they can motivate you to love God more 31:16.210 --> 31:17.130 I'm sure this room 31:17.130 --> 31:18.350 is filled full of people that say 31:18.350 --> 31:20.330 hey man my spouse is such a blessing 31:20.330 --> 31:22.610 and when I don't feel like going soul winning 31:22.610 --> 31:24.150 they encourage me to go soul winning 31:24.150 --> 31:26.150 when I don't feel like reading the Bible 31:26.150 --> 31:27.510 or when I'm getting a little bit weak 31:27.510 --> 31:28.530 I'm getting a little bit lazy 31:28.530 --> 31:30.670 they encourage me to do more 31:31.470 --> 31:33.630 because let's face it the Christian life is hard 31:35.010 --> 31:36.350 it's hard to last 31:36.350 --> 31:38.530 year after year after year 31:38.530 --> 31:39.270 after year 31:40.250 --> 31:41.790 and look you've seen it yourself 31:41.790 --> 31:42.750 if you've been at this church 31:42.750 --> 31:45.270 a lot of great people end up falling by the wayside 31:45.930 --> 31:47.410 a lot of great church members 31:47.410 --> 31:48.670 a lot of great pastors 31:48.670 --> 31:49.950 they go down the wrong road 31:49.950 --> 31:52.170 I mean it's a shame but the Christian life is hard 31:52.170 --> 31:53.810 it's hard to last 31:53.810 --> 31:55.130 it's hard to serve God 31:55.130 --> 31:58.650 but how much harder if your spouse is just really wicked 31:58.650 --> 32:00.450 and fighting you all the time 32:01.630 --> 32:03.170 1 Peter 3 verse 5 32:03.750 --> 32:05.450 for after this manner in the old time 32:05.450 --> 32:07.410 the holy women also who trusted in God 32:08.090 --> 32:08.910 adorned themselves 32:08.910 --> 32:10.910 being in subjection onto their own husbands 32:11.450 --> 32:13.450 even as Sarah obeyed Abraham 32:13.450 --> 32:14.430 calling him Lord 32:14.430 --> 32:17.170 whose daughters he are as long as he do well 32:17.170 --> 32:18.770 and are not afraid with any amazement 32:19.310 --> 32:20.470 likewise he husbands 32:20.470 --> 32:22.190 dwell with them according to knowledge 32:22.190 --> 32:24.610 giving honor onto the wife as onto the weaker vessel 32:24.610 --> 32:26.310 and notice this as being 32:26.310 --> 32:28.130 heirs together 32:28.130 --> 32:29.710 of the grace of life 32:30.210 --> 32:32.410 I believe that if God has blessed you 32:32.410 --> 32:33.070 with a spouse 32:33.610 --> 32:35.750 God intends that you can accomplish more 32:35.750 --> 32:37.510 with them than you could without them 32:38.350 --> 32:39.450 now the thing is 32:39.450 --> 32:42.090 that might look a little bit different on the surface 32:42.090 --> 32:44.170 I mean quite honestly I went soul winning 32:44.170 --> 32:46.230 more I would say before I was married 32:46.230 --> 32:47.030 than I do now 32:47.550 --> 32:50.050 I have four kids I mean life is busy 32:50.050 --> 32:50.770 and you know 32:50.770 --> 32:53.190 preaching a lot of sermons and things like that 32:53.190 --> 32:55.610 you know but I still believe 32:55.610 --> 32:57.110 I'm accomplishing more now 32:57.710 --> 32:59.390 than I was before I was married 33:00.530 --> 33:01.470 and I know that 33:01.470 --> 33:03.290 my wife helps me do more for God 33:03.290 --> 33:04.550 and motivates me 33:05.150 --> 33:07.370 and my wife loves soul winning and the thing is 33:07.370 --> 33:08.970 with my wife loving soul winning 33:08.970 --> 33:11.110 on days I don't feel like going you just go 33:11.110 --> 33:12.270 because that's what you do 33:13.270 --> 33:15.110 if you marry someone who loves God 33:15.110 --> 33:16.830 they can motivate you to do more 33:16.830 --> 33:18.970 and you can be heirs together of the grace of life 33:20.490 --> 33:20.930 but 33:20.930 --> 33:23.030 if your spouse is ungodly 33:23.030 --> 33:24.530 and wicked 33:25.610 --> 33:26.850 it's like you're the husband 33:26.850 --> 33:28.790 and you're trying to set lines in your family 33:28.790 --> 33:30.950 like hey you know what I want to start going soul winning 33:30.950 --> 33:33.050 you know midweek I want to do an extra time 33:33.050 --> 33:35.010 of soul winning and then your wife is 33:35.010 --> 33:36.910 just fighting you saying wow we need to spend 33:36.910 --> 33:38.770 more time with the family you shouldn't do this 33:38.770 --> 33:40.970 blah blah blah it's like that is not going to 33:40.970 --> 33:42.090 cause you to do more for God 33:42.930 --> 33:44.530 you try to set lines in your family 33:44.530 --> 33:46.510 hey here's my line of worldliness 33:46.510 --> 33:49.090 because obviously with worldliness it's a very 33:49.090 --> 33:50.930 gray area people draw the lines 33:50.930 --> 33:52.630 at different points but you're the husband 33:52.630 --> 33:54.390 you make the decision you say hey 33:54.390 --> 33:57.170 we're not watching this we're not doing this 33:57.170 --> 33:57.930 it's wrong 33:58.370 --> 34:00.650 and then your wife is always trying to fight against it 34:01.390 --> 34:03.170 you set guidelines in your families 34:03.170 --> 34:04.890 of things you're doing and your wife is just 34:04.890 --> 34:06.570 intentionally disobeying it 34:07.430 --> 34:09.170 what's pretty hard to do great things 34:09.170 --> 34:10.910 for God if your wife is fighting you 34:10.910 --> 34:12.650 every single step of the way 34:14.050 --> 34:15.810 go to your Bible in Genesis chapter 2 34:16.670 --> 34:17.490 Genesis 2 34:24.670 --> 34:26.830 and one thing I find amazing about this 34:26.830 --> 34:28.490 because you know the Bible says that 34:28.490 --> 34:31.030 women are to have a meek and a quiet spirit 34:32.170 --> 34:32.650 and 34:32.650 --> 34:34.710 you know there's kind of a phrase I thought of 34:34.710 --> 34:36.630 because I think of some of the ladies 34:36.630 --> 34:38.410 at our church in the Philippines 34:39.150 --> 34:40.690 and other soul winners I know 34:40.690 --> 34:42.190 like ladies that love soul winning 34:42.670 --> 34:44.510 and it's like what you see is women 34:44.510 --> 34:46.570 that are meek and quiet 34:46.570 --> 34:48.730 but they're soul winning assassins 34:48.730 --> 34:50.930 and what I mean by that is 34:50.930 --> 34:52.470 they will stop 34:52.470 --> 34:53.950 anybody to give the gospel 34:54.490 --> 34:56.230 somebody's got a knife and they're just trying to 34:56.230 --> 34:58.050 give them an invitation and talk to them 34:58.050 --> 35:00.030 and it's like they're so filled with boldness 35:01.070 --> 35:02.270 and it's funny because 35:02.270 --> 35:03.950 you might know these ladies 35:03.950 --> 35:05.790 and it's like they're very meek 35:05.790 --> 35:07.790 and quiet and shy 35:07.790 --> 35:09.590 and when they get filled with the spirit it's like 35:09.590 --> 35:11.950 man they're a soul winning 35:11.950 --> 35:12.450 assassin 35:13.670 --> 35:16.030 look ladies you have your opportunity to preach 35:17.350 --> 35:18.670 go out and preach the gospel 35:19.950 --> 35:21.970 it's not just for men and quite honestly 35:21.970 --> 35:23.590 there's a lot of people ladies can reach 35:23.590 --> 35:24.450 that men can't 35:25.350 --> 35:27.110 I'm amazed how many times 35:27.110 --> 35:28.690 I try to talk to someone 35:28.690 --> 35:30.970 they're not interested a couple of minutes later 35:30.970 --> 35:32.650 my wife's giving them the gospel and gets them saved 35:34.630 --> 35:35.550 and it wasn't 35:35.550 --> 35:36.930 it's not just like that in the Philippines 35:36.930 --> 35:38.530 because I'll preach the gospel in Tagalog 35:38.530 --> 35:40.690 and they're just shy to talk to an American 35:40.690 --> 35:41.830 and they'll talk to my wife 35:41.830 --> 35:43.750 but even in the US I would see that 35:43.750 --> 35:45.370 you say why because 35:45.370 --> 35:48.350 some people might not be comfortable talking to a man 35:49.130 --> 35:50.470 they might feel more comfortable 35:50.470 --> 35:51.270 talking to a lady 35:52.290 --> 35:54.310 and so look if we're meant to reach everybody 35:54.310 --> 35:56.030 in the world and there's a certain segment 35:56.030 --> 35:57.670 that is only going to listen to a woman 35:57.670 --> 35:59.530 you know what that means we need the ladies 36:00.010 --> 36:01.890 we need the spirit of God upon also the 36:01.890 --> 36:03.850 handmaidens to go out and preach the gospel 36:04.690 --> 36:05.950 or like Phillip's daughters 36:05.950 --> 36:07.110 which were prophesying 36:07.110 --> 36:09.170 not prophesying behind the pulpit 36:09.870 --> 36:11.470 but out there preaching the gospel 36:11.890 --> 36:12.930 and getting people saved 36:14.230 --> 36:15.770 Genesis chapter 2 verse 18 36:17.510 --> 36:18.650 and the Lord God said 36:18.650 --> 36:20.410 it is not good that the man should be alone 36:20.830 --> 36:22.170 I will make him help 36:22.170 --> 36:23.070 meet for him 36:23.770 --> 36:25.390 I mean the Bible is just super clear 36:26.250 --> 36:27.950 and it reiterates this in the New Testament 36:28.450 --> 36:29.670 that the woman is created 36:29.670 --> 36:30.470 for the man 36:31.770 --> 36:33.810 she's meant to be the help meet for the man 36:35.430 --> 36:36.610 and that means the guy 36:36.610 --> 36:37.430 is the leader 36:37.430 --> 36:39.690 and the wife is meant to compliment him 36:39.690 --> 36:40.790 be the help meet 36:42.470 --> 36:44.070 but does that mean it automatically 36:44.070 --> 36:46.350 happens even with Christians 36:46.350 --> 36:48.570 does the wife automatically 36:48.570 --> 36:49.410 help the husband 36:50.050 --> 36:52.130 look obviously we realize that we're all 36:52.130 --> 36:54.170 sinners so no matter how godly of a lady 36:54.170 --> 36:56.130 you are you're not always 36:56.130 --> 36:58.370 going to be a blessing 24-7 36:58.370 --> 36:59.890 just like as guys 36:59.890 --> 37:01.730 we're not perfect husbands 24-7 37:01.730 --> 37:03.790 just like every marriage 37:03.790 --> 37:04.490 has fights 37:05.650 --> 37:07.190 every marriage has problems 37:07.810 --> 37:09.850 I remember when we went 37:09.850 --> 37:11.610 to Verity Baptist a long time ago 37:11.610 --> 37:12.510 before we were in the Philippines 37:13.470 --> 37:15.290 and somebody came up to me 37:15.290 --> 37:17.210 and they were kind of getting marriage advice 37:17.210 --> 37:18.670 and they were talking to me 37:19.370 --> 37:20.670 and they said 37:20.670 --> 37:23.450 I bet you and your wife never fight 37:24.430 --> 37:25.790 and they were being honest 37:25.790 --> 37:27.850 and the people I'm thinking of 37:27.850 --> 37:28.430 they're great 37:28.430 --> 37:30.330 some of the people that left Verity 37:31.350 --> 37:33.630 but he sincerely thought that 37:33.630 --> 37:35.190 and I'm just thinking 37:35.190 --> 37:37.370 my wife and I fight 37:37.370 --> 37:38.310 like everybody fights 37:39.850 --> 37:41.090 cause you got two sinners 37:41.090 --> 37:42.830 that are around each other 24-7 37:42.830 --> 37:43.750 what do you expect to happen 37:43.750 --> 37:45.270 I mean you're going to have times 37:45.270 --> 37:46.150 you got to fight through stuff 37:46.610 --> 37:48.490 but you are meant to be heirs together 37:48.490 --> 37:49.730 of the grace of life 37:49.730 --> 37:52.730 and do more for God together than you would separately 37:52.730 --> 37:54.270 but notice the next chapter 37:54.270 --> 37:55.390 Genesis chapter 3 37:55.390 --> 37:57.530 the woman is made to help meet for the man 37:57.530 --> 37:58.870 but notice Genesis 3 verse 6 37:58.870 --> 38:02.590 and when the woman saw that the tree was good for food 38:02.590 --> 38:04.270 that it was pleasant to the eyes 38:04.270 --> 38:06.510 and a tree to be desired to make one wise 38:06.910 --> 38:08.310 she took of the fruit thereof 38:08.310 --> 38:08.970 and did eat 38:08.970 --> 38:12.050 and gave also under a husband with her 38:12.690 --> 38:13.630 and he did eat 38:14.350 --> 38:16.650 I mean is she really helping the guy out 38:16.650 --> 38:18.330 she helping the husband out in that situation 38:18.810 --> 38:20.250 it's like the previous chapter 38:20.250 --> 38:21.890 the woman is to help meet 38:21.890 --> 38:22.990 and then the next chapter 38:24.010 --> 38:25.550 she's giving him the apple to sin 38:26.810 --> 38:28.250 I guess the defense for her 38:28.250 --> 38:29.190 at least she was deceived 38:29.190 --> 38:30.410 he's just like well you know 38:30.410 --> 38:31.390 just my wife said it 38:33.090 --> 38:34.590 this is the first wave of feminism 38:34.590 --> 38:36.050 you know this is the good part right 38:36.810 --> 38:37.970 so I'll just eat the fruit 38:39.770 --> 38:40.850 it's like once again 38:40.850 --> 38:42.990 sometimes you got to tell your spouse no 38:42.990 --> 38:44.010 as the leader 38:44.950 --> 38:46.570 they go to your Bible to 1 Kings 18 38:47.870 --> 38:48.890 1 Kings 18 38:51.090 --> 38:52.890 look I don't think it's a big secret 38:53.330 --> 38:54.790 that Tommy McMurtry 38:54.790 --> 38:56.170 is filled full of gossip 38:56.730 --> 38:58.390 and being a busy body 38:58.390 --> 39:00.570 and it's like why don't you just care 39:00.570 --> 39:01.770 about your own church 39:01.770 --> 39:02.930 and your own ministry 39:04.710 --> 39:05.670 his ministry 39:05.670 --> 39:07.490 is attacking this church 39:08.450 --> 39:10.130 and attacking new IFB churches 39:10.130 --> 39:12.030 that's what it's all about I mean that's his ministry 39:13.690 --> 39:14.390 and you know 39:14.390 --> 39:16.490 here's the thing about it it doesn't matter 39:16.490 --> 39:18.250 what you're doing 39:18.250 --> 39:20.370 you can get vain followers 39:20.370 --> 39:21.410 to come after you 39:23.330 --> 39:24.110 see this church 39:24.110 --> 39:25.570 is filled full of people that love soul winning 39:26.570 --> 39:27.750 you know no matter what you say 39:27.750 --> 39:29.650 you can get vain followers to come after you 39:29.650 --> 39:30.510 no matter what you're saying 39:31.390 --> 39:33.910 it amazes me it's like some churches in the Philippines 39:34.670 --> 39:36.230 like some Baptist churches 39:36.230 --> 39:38.250 that are false prophets 39:38.250 --> 39:39.650 or bad people or whatever 39:39.650 --> 39:41.370 it's like I listen to them preach 39:41.370 --> 39:43.850 and they're like the worst preachers ever 39:44.590 --> 39:45.790 and they've got a lot of people 39:45.790 --> 39:46.550 to listen to them 39:47.530 --> 39:49.310 and I'm like you know what in the world 39:49.310 --> 39:50.890 like why would you follow but it's just like 39:50.890 --> 39:52.110 you know no matter what you say 39:52.110 --> 39:54.190 you can get vain followers to come after you 39:54.910 --> 39:55.950 so I'm not saying 39:55.950 --> 39:57.650 that he doesn't have a problem with gossip 39:57.650 --> 39:59.310 I'm saying being married to Cassandra 39:59.310 --> 40:01.290 makes it times 10 40:02.450 --> 40:03.710 makes it a lot worse 40:04.250 --> 40:05.990 she eggs him on as you would say 40:05.990 --> 40:07.890 to make it worse and worse 40:07.890 --> 40:08.890 and worse 40:09.830 --> 40:10.770 but number one 40:11.570 --> 40:14.190 this Jezebel spirit causing your husband 40:14.190 --> 40:16.170 not to serve God that's one of the things we see 40:16.170 --> 40:17.170 from Jezebel in the Old Testament 40:17.170 --> 40:20.190 number two fighting against God's people 40:20.190 --> 40:22.350 fighting against God's people 40:24.190 --> 40:27.110 1 Kings 18 verse 12 40:29.890 --> 40:32.150 actually 1 Kings 18 verse 3 40:32.150 --> 40:33.030 verse 3 40:33.030 --> 40:36.230 and Ahab called Obadiah which was the governor of his house 40:36.230 --> 40:37.890 now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly 40:37.890 --> 40:40.110 for it was so when Jezebel cut 40:40.110 --> 40:41.790 off the prophets of the Lord 40:41.790 --> 40:43.590 she killed the prophets of the Lord 40:44.190 --> 40:46.170 that Obadiah took in 100 prophets 40:46.170 --> 40:47.810 and hid them by 15 a cave 40:47.810 --> 40:49.810 and fed them with bread 40:49.810 --> 40:50.930 and water 40:52.210 --> 40:53.210 Jezebel here 40:53.700 --> 40:55.270 is fighting against God's people 40:55.810 --> 40:57.710 she's killing the prophets of God 40:57.710 --> 40:59.810 she's trying to destroy God's people 40:59.810 --> 41:01.210 go to Nehemiah chapter 6 41:02.150 --> 41:03.450 Nehemiah chapter 6 41:03.450 --> 41:10.930 it wasn't good enough for Jezebel to just have her own religion 41:10.930 --> 41:13.030 she's attacking God's people 41:13.030 --> 41:14.970 she's attacking God's prophets 41:14.970 --> 41:16.830 here's what it says in Nehemiah 6 verse 14 41:18.970 --> 41:20.650 Nehemiah chapter 6 verse 14 41:20.650 --> 41:22.150 my God 41:22.150 --> 41:24.530 think thou upon Tobiah and Sandballad 41:24.530 --> 41:26.070 according to these their works 41:26.070 --> 41:27.470 and on the prophetess 41:27.470 --> 41:30.390 Nehemiah and the rest of the prophets 41:30.390 --> 41:31.890 that would have put me 41:32.630 --> 41:33.570 in fear 41:34.390 --> 41:36.090 trying to stop the work 41:36.090 --> 41:38.390 of God being done this woman 41:38.390 --> 41:38.750 Nehemiah 41:38.750 --> 41:42.130 now go in your Bible to Esther chapter 1 41:42.130 --> 41:42.930 Esther 1 41:47.310 --> 41:49.590 Esther chapter 1 41:49.590 --> 41:51.230 and look here's what I want you to understand 41:51.230 --> 41:53.030 when you're married 41:53.030 --> 41:54.610 you're meant to be heirs together 41:54.610 --> 41:55.730 of the grace of life 41:55.730 --> 41:57.970 and what that means is the husband and the wife 41:57.970 --> 41:59.210 have to be on the same page 42:01.090 --> 42:02.930 and part of that is the husband 42:02.930 --> 42:03.470 being the leader 42:04.670 --> 42:06.470 the other part is the wife 42:06.470 --> 42:07.730 submitting to the husband 42:08.770 --> 42:11.170 and when people are trying to influence women 42:11.170 --> 42:12.990 not to submit to their husbands 42:13.470 --> 42:14.490 you know what you're doing 42:15.030 --> 42:16.790 you're trying to fight against God's people 42:16.790 --> 42:17.590 doing something great 42:17.590 --> 42:18.110 right 42:19.970 --> 42:22.210 because regardless of what you think 42:22.810 --> 42:24.270 it's not your marriage 42:25.550 --> 42:27.710 the husband makes the rules in that home 42:27.710 --> 42:29.710 so why are you trying to influence 42:29.710 --> 42:31.730 the women in other homes 42:31.730 --> 42:33.310 not even at your church 42:33.310 --> 42:35.150 to rebel against their husbands 42:35.890 --> 42:37.770 here's what she said in one of her videos 42:38.610 --> 42:39.930 the only reason 42:39.930 --> 42:41.590 they are so mad is because 42:41.590 --> 42:44.030 I have an influence on the women in their church 42:45.470 --> 42:46.550 here's my question 42:46.550 --> 42:49.070 why do you want to have an influence 42:49.070 --> 42:51.550 on the women in other people's churches 42:53.090 --> 42:54.670 it has nothing to do with you 42:55.350 --> 42:56.670 it's not your church 42:57.510 --> 42:58.910 it's not your marriage 42:59.590 --> 43:01.370 you don't make the rules for it 43:01.370 --> 43:03.450 so why are you trying to influence 43:03.990 --> 43:05.390 other women in other churches 43:05.390 --> 43:06.390 and how is she influencing 43:06.390 --> 43:08.430 is she influencing to love your husbands 43:08.430 --> 43:09.330 no matter what 43:09.330 --> 43:11.250 no she's influencing will separate 43:11.250 --> 43:13.670 if they're too harsh 43:13.670 --> 43:14.190 and too mean 43:14.810 --> 43:17.030 look I would say that if a husband 43:17.030 --> 43:18.370 is drunkard 43:19.010 --> 43:20.010 and is a derelict 43:20.010 --> 43:21.530 and committing adultery 43:21.530 --> 43:24.170 he's kind of at his most unlovable stage 43:24.170 --> 43:26.390 you know what she should be encouraging 43:26.390 --> 43:27.850 wives to do in those situations 43:28.490 --> 43:29.770 love your husbands 43:31.010 --> 43:32.910 I mean if you want to have a teaching ministry 43:32.910 --> 43:34.130 why wouldn't you 43:34.130 --> 43:36.430 but no you say well separating those situations 43:36.430 --> 43:37.330 cause it's dangerous 43:38.210 --> 43:39.270 it's like what are you doing 43:39.270 --> 43:41.150 you're influencing women to rebel 43:41.150 --> 43:41.990 against their husbands 43:44.010 --> 43:45.130 I mean look 43:45.130 --> 43:46.370 forgive me for this example 43:46.370 --> 43:48.150 I grew up in West Virginia 43:48.150 --> 43:49.850 but I think of the old country song 43:49.850 --> 43:50.850 stand by your man 43:53.390 --> 43:55.130 look I'm not saying 43:55.130 --> 43:57.070 it's okay for husbands to be losers 43:57.070 --> 43:58.690 and be drunkards and do these things 44:00.150 --> 44:00.910 but it's like 44:00.910 --> 44:01.930 that was the old opinion 44:01.930 --> 44:03.670 it's like hey you stand by your man 44:03.670 --> 44:05.510 no matter what cause there is no option 44:05.510 --> 44:06.470 of divorce in the bible 44:06.470 --> 44:07.990 you stay married 44:08.950 --> 44:10.890 and you don't open up his doors box 44:10.890 --> 44:12.050 well in this situation 44:12.050 --> 44:14.170 say no no no I didn't tell him to get divorced 44:14.890 --> 44:16.610 I was just stating to separate 44:18.830 --> 44:19.270 separating 44:19.270 --> 44:21.290 is one step to divorce 44:21.870 --> 44:23.090 honestly it's more like 44:23.090 --> 44:25.410 five or six cause honestly once you separate 44:25.410 --> 44:26.350 the divorce is common 44:29.210 --> 44:31.450 so the question is why do you want to influence 44:31.450 --> 44:33.350 people in other churches 44:33.990 --> 44:35.070 to leave their husbands 44:35.070 --> 44:36.270 and rebel against their husbands 44:36.970 --> 44:38.330 Esther chapter 1 verse 15 44:38.710 --> 44:41.110 what shall we do under the queen Vastai according to law 44:41.110 --> 44:42.870 because she hath not performed the commandment 44:42.870 --> 44:44.850 of the king of Hazelweres by the chamberlains 44:45.290 --> 44:47.410 in Mamooka in answer before the king and the princes 44:47.830 --> 44:49.350 Vastai the queen hath not done wrong 44:49.350 --> 44:51.650 to the king only but also to all the princes 44:51.650 --> 44:53.270 and all the people that are in all the provinces 44:53.270 --> 44:54.450 of the king of Hazelweres 44:54.450 --> 44:56.330 for this deed of the queen shall come abroad 44:56.330 --> 44:58.730 unto all women so that they shall despise their husbands 44:58.730 --> 45:00.650 and their eyes when it shall be reported 45:00.650 --> 45:02.750 the king of Hazelweres commanded Vastai 45:02.750 --> 45:04.070 the queen to be brought in before him 45:04.530 --> 45:05.410 but she came not 45:05.410 --> 45:07.890 likewise shall the ladies of Persia and media 45:07.890 --> 45:09.670 say this day unto all the king's princes 45:09.670 --> 45:10.930 which have heard of the deed of the queen 45:10.930 --> 45:13.850 thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath 45:13.850 --> 45:15.830 you know this is exactly what takes place 45:16.550 --> 45:17.830 you'll see people where 45:17.830 --> 45:19.710 a wife will rebel 45:20.290 --> 45:21.990 a woman will be a loudmouth 45:21.990 --> 45:23.570 and rebel and all of a sudden 45:23.570 --> 45:26.030 it just kind of leads to just a bunch of women 45:26.030 --> 45:26.750 doing the same thing 45:29.410 --> 45:30.030 and you know 45:30.030 --> 45:32.070 that's what I said you know you see people in these videos 45:32.070 --> 45:34.110 and it's like people I know it's like I know they're husbands 45:34.110 --> 45:35.130 and they're not saying anything 45:36.510 --> 45:37.990 and it's just like you know 45:37.990 --> 45:40.190 yes we can I'm a woman hear me roar 45:40.190 --> 45:42.010 and then all these women it's like man you used to be 45:42.010 --> 45:43.410 a soul winner what happened to you 45:44.790 --> 45:46.410 because they're buying into the lie 45:46.410 --> 45:47.770 we're being held back 45:47.770 --> 45:48.950 by these oppressive men 45:49.990 --> 45:52.010 look you don't have to get very far 45:52.010 --> 45:54.030 into the Bible to see that 45:54.030 --> 45:55.690 the wife is the compliment to the husband 45:55.690 --> 45:57.790 I mean the first chapter 45:57.790 --> 45:59.930 man is made in the image of God 46:00.470 --> 46:01.530 and chapter 2 46:01.530 --> 46:03.410 the wife is the help meet 46:04.290 --> 46:05.510 I didn't write the Bible 46:05.990 --> 46:07.230 I didn't make the rules 46:07.230 --> 46:09.750 and the shame and the thing that's sad is 46:09.750 --> 46:11.510 wives will be happier 46:12.030 --> 46:13.190 when they follow their husbands 46:15.110 --> 46:17.090 you buy into this lie of feminism 46:17.090 --> 46:19.110 well you know what I'm being held back 46:19.110 --> 46:20.530 I could be a CEO 46:20.530 --> 46:22.170 I could be a president 46:22.170 --> 46:23.470 okay go down that road 46:23.470 --> 46:24.390 you're going to be miserable 46:25.690 --> 46:26.530 that's reality 46:27.990 --> 46:29.710 go in your Bible to Titus chapter 2 46:30.710 --> 46:31.390 Titus 2 46:42.020 --> 46:43.720 I find it sad when 46:43.720 --> 46:45.640 I will see ladies 46:45.640 --> 46:47.920 that bought into this lie 46:47.920 --> 46:49.820 and they don't audibly say this 46:49.820 --> 46:51.400 but you can tell it and then 46:51.400 --> 46:53.400 they reach a certain age and obviously you know 46:53.400 --> 46:55.280 when it comes to getting married you know marriage is a blessing 46:55.280 --> 46:57.380 when you meet the right person and there's no guarantee 46:57.380 --> 46:59.200 there's a lot of great people that are zealous 46:59.200 --> 47:01.500 that love God and they don't get married 47:01.500 --> 47:02.320 both men and women 47:02.320 --> 47:04.680 we've got a lot of godly ladies that are church in the Philippines 47:05.200 --> 47:06.880 that haven't met the right person yet 47:06.880 --> 47:08.960 but you'll see people that bought 47:08.960 --> 47:11.220 into this lie of feminism and they wanted to work 47:11.220 --> 47:12.540 their way up the corporate ladder 47:12.540 --> 47:14.180 to show how strong they are 47:14.180 --> 47:15.720 how smart they are or whatever 47:15.720 --> 47:18.620 and then all of a sudden those women will see 47:19.160 --> 47:20.180 families with children 47:20.180 --> 47:22.120 and you can just see in their eyes 47:22.120 --> 47:23.520 that they're not happy 47:24.540 --> 47:25.840 they thought they would be 47:27.120 --> 47:27.820 and they're not 47:29.600 --> 47:31.480 and here's the thing you know when it comes to 47:31.480 --> 47:32.400 our type of churches 47:33.320 --> 47:35.780 there's a lot of very intelligent and educated people 47:35.780 --> 47:37.180 that like this type of preaching 47:38.760 --> 47:39.860 and honestly there's a lot of 47:39.860 --> 47:41.580 very intelligent and educated women 47:41.580 --> 47:42.500 that like this type of preaching 47:43.140 --> 47:44.800 and so part of you might say well wait a minute 47:44.800 --> 47:46.720 it's like man I could have been so successful 47:46.720 --> 47:49.680 I was in the working world and being so successful 47:49.680 --> 47:51.780 and then you think back 47:51.780 --> 47:53.320 and think oh it's going to make you so much happier 47:53.320 --> 47:55.520 no you're just buying into the lie of feminism 47:55.520 --> 47:57.780 and this spirit of Jezebel 47:57.780 --> 47:58.880 that the Bible is speaking about 48:00.500 --> 48:01.580 Titus chapter 2 48:03.700 --> 48:04.920 Bible says here in verse 1 48:04.920 --> 48:07.200 but speaks out of the things which become sound doctrine 48:07.200 --> 48:09.260 that the aged men be sober, grave 48:09.760 --> 48:11.140 temperate, sound in faith 48:11.140 --> 48:12.420 and charity and patience 48:12.940 --> 48:14.600 the aged women likewise 48:14.600 --> 48:16.620 that they be in behavior has become with holiness 48:17.100 --> 48:19.340 not false accusers, not giving them much wine 48:19.340 --> 48:20.520 teachers of good things 48:20.520 --> 48:22.240 that they may teach the young women to be sober 48:22.240 --> 48:23.880 to love their husbands, to love their children 48:23.880 --> 48:26.360 to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home 48:26.360 --> 48:28.280 good, obedient to their own husbands 48:28.280 --> 48:29.960 that the word of God be not blasphemed 48:30.480 --> 48:32.020 the Bible says here in Titus 2 48:32.020 --> 48:34.720 the aged women teach the young women 48:34.720 --> 48:35.900 to love their husbands 48:35.900 --> 48:37.040 to love their children 48:37.040 --> 48:39.260 basically to be a housewife 48:39.260 --> 48:41.260 to take care of the kids, to love them 48:41.260 --> 48:43.560 I believe the primary thing the Bible is saying is 48:43.560 --> 48:44.380 by your actions 48:44.920 --> 48:46.160 because here's the thing about this 48:46.620 --> 48:48.280 if you're trying to convince a woman 48:48.280 --> 48:49.140 to be meek and quiet 48:50.620 --> 48:51.940 and you're doing the opposite 48:52.900 --> 48:54.560 by challenging pastors 48:56.080 --> 48:58.380 it's like how are you convincing people 48:58.380 --> 48:59.240 to be meek and quiet 49:00.600 --> 49:02.700 I mean it's not that complicated 49:02.700 --> 49:03.140 folks 49:04.840 --> 49:06.000 but the thing is 49:06.000 --> 49:07.260 if you're going to teach anything 49:07.260 --> 49:08.840 then you would teach wives 49:08.840 --> 49:10.620 to love their husbands 49:11.720 --> 49:13.060 to love their children 49:14.120 --> 49:15.740 not to leave their husbands 49:16.720 --> 49:17.740 but to love them 49:18.940 --> 49:20.400 and so how can you say 49:20.400 --> 49:21.400 well you know 49:21.400 --> 49:23.160 man I'm really helping ladies love their husbands 49:23.160 --> 49:24.120 you're telling them to leave 49:25.440 --> 49:26.580 like what in the world 49:27.840 --> 49:29.020 and here's what I'm saying 49:29.020 --> 49:30.700 that if you are going to be successful 49:30.700 --> 49:32.700 I mean if you're married you know this is true 49:32.700 --> 49:34.160 when you're married 49:34.160 --> 49:36.400 if you're having problems with your spouse 49:36.400 --> 49:38.040 it is hard to read the Bible 49:38.040 --> 49:39.500 it is hard to go soul winning 49:39.500 --> 49:41.460 it is hard to serve God zealously 49:42.220 --> 49:42.960 it's difficult 49:44.080 --> 49:46.040 but yet when you're on the same page together 49:46.040 --> 49:47.420 I mean isn't it a beautiful thing 49:48.060 --> 49:49.320 it's a wonderful thing 49:49.940 --> 49:51.760 and you're doing great things for God 49:52.240 --> 49:54.060 but when you're not on the same page 49:54.060 --> 49:55.000 it's a disaster 49:56.040 --> 49:57.020 that's the way that it is 49:57.020 --> 49:58.900 and so look if you're trying to get people 49:58.900 --> 50:00.200 to go against their husbands 50:00.200 --> 50:02.140 you're causing a disaster for them 50:02.140 --> 50:04.280 how are they going to serve God zealously 50:04.280 --> 50:06.780 when they're just fighting with their spouse all the time 50:08.040 --> 50:09.980 go in your Bible to 1 Timothy chapter 5 50:09.980 --> 50:12.180 1 Timothy chapter 5 50:16.860 --> 50:18.740 look sometimes people get the wrong idea 50:18.740 --> 50:19.920 about pastors because you know 50:19.920 --> 50:20.940 we get up behind the pulpit 50:21.280 --> 50:22.980 and we preach the entire word of God 50:22.980 --> 50:24.540 we preach what the Bible says 50:24.540 --> 50:26.660 and we show the word of God 50:26.660 --> 50:28.760 and people might get this idea 50:29.260 --> 50:30.760 that in our personal lives 50:30.760 --> 50:32.900 we go around and tell people what to do 50:34.720 --> 50:35.780 I don't do that 50:35.780 --> 50:36.900 with people at our churches 50:38.020 --> 50:39.960 I don't tell them what to do in their personal life 50:39.960 --> 50:40.920 I mean we've got members 50:40.920 --> 50:42.900 people here they used to be members of our church 50:42.900 --> 50:44.840 I didn't go around bossing people 50:44.840 --> 50:45.660 telling them what to do 50:45.660 --> 50:48.100 I mean look I will see men at our church 50:48.100 --> 50:50.140 make decisions in their home that I don't agree with 50:50.140 --> 50:51.540 I never say anything 50:51.540 --> 50:53.900 you say why it's not my home 50:55.080 --> 50:56.720 and if he's the leader of that home 50:56.720 --> 50:58.400 even if I am right about something 50:58.400 --> 51:00.700 he makes the rules I don't make the rules 51:01.560 --> 51:02.640 that's the way it works 51:03.600 --> 51:04.980 is why when people ask 51:04.980 --> 51:06.360 what do you think about this situation 51:06.360 --> 51:07.440 what do you think about this I'm thinking 51:07.440 --> 51:09.120 I'm not the authority in that home 51:09.120 --> 51:10.380 so what difference does it make 51:10.920 --> 51:13.680 it's like mind your own business in your own home 51:14.210 --> 51:15.760 rather than worrying about other people 51:18.020 --> 51:20.040 but I will always side with 51:20.040 --> 51:20.820 authority 51:21.520 --> 51:23.300 because God gave the authority 51:23.300 --> 51:24.280 to husbands 51:25.120 --> 51:27.160 God gave the authority to fathers 51:27.160 --> 51:29.200 God gave the authority to mothers over their kids 51:31.760 --> 51:34.000 when my wife says something to my kids 51:34.000 --> 51:36.420 it's like I will back up my kids 51:36.980 --> 51:38.280 I mean my wife 51:38.280 --> 51:38.880 I should say 51:40.200 --> 51:41.060 my bad 51:41.900 --> 51:44.100 this is going to be one of those snippets 51:44.800 --> 51:46.120 that gets in the preaching 51:48.420 --> 51:49.620 what's really bad though 51:49.620 --> 51:52.240 is when you preach sermons and you don't notice 51:53.040 --> 51:54.000 your gaffe 51:54.760 --> 51:55.800 and then all of a sudden 51:55.800 --> 51:57.580 I've had sermons I'm preaching against 51:57.580 --> 51:59.000 repentance of sins for salvation 51:59.000 --> 52:01.600 and then I say the opposite for 5 seconds in the sermon 52:01.600 --> 52:03.840 and it's like oh what did I do 52:04.720 --> 52:07.000 I preached a sermon last year 52:07.000 --> 52:09.000 and I think people either I misspoke 52:09.000 --> 52:10.840 or they got confused and people thought 52:10.840 --> 52:12.880 I used to take antidepressants 52:14.220 --> 52:17.100 I was like I've never been 52:17.100 --> 52:18.560 a depressed person 52:18.560 --> 52:21.080 I've never taken antidepressants 52:21.080 --> 52:22.640 before but I misspoke 52:22.640 --> 52:23.360 or people misunderstood 52:24.080 --> 52:26.220 and it's like sometimes that happens 52:26.220 --> 52:28.440 but it's like no my wife will 52:28.440 --> 52:30.560 spank our kids when they do wrong or whatever 52:30.560 --> 52:32.420 I support my wife in her decision 52:32.420 --> 52:33.000 in doing that 52:33.840 --> 52:36.220 because wives do have the authority over their kids 52:37.400 --> 52:38.280 and sometimes 52:38.280 --> 52:40.320 the kids will try to pit the parents against each other 52:40.980 --> 52:41.940 and you've got to realize 52:42.380 --> 52:44.300 as husband and wife you've got to be together 52:46.940 --> 52:49.060 notice what it says here in 1 Timothy chapter 5 52:50.080 --> 52:52.480 actually here's another quote from Cassandra 52:53.280 --> 52:54.540 if you are the leader 52:54.540 --> 52:56.660 then you don't have to beat your chest 52:56.660 --> 52:57.180 about it 52:57.180 --> 53:00.580 if you do beat your chest then you probably aren't the leader 53:01.240 --> 53:02.980 this is not unique to her 53:02.980 --> 53:04.860 because there's a lot of people that have said something 53:04.860 --> 53:05.520 pretty similar 53:06.220 --> 53:08.620 but the thing is if you're the leader 53:09.720 --> 53:12.440 are your followers always 53:12.440 --> 53:14.500 100% doing 53:14.500 --> 53:16.200 what you want perfectly 53:17.420 --> 53:18.620 so when they're not 53:18.620 --> 53:19.800 doing what's correct 53:20.420 --> 53:21.460 what do you do 53:21.460 --> 53:23.700 just ignore it 53:24.160 --> 53:25.240 and not say anything 53:25.240 --> 53:26.820 I mean it sounds like what Tommy does 53:26.820 --> 53:29.260 because he pretty much gives his wife whatever she wants 53:30.020 --> 53:30.740 according to her 53:31.520 --> 53:33.480 he can set the record straight if that's not true 53:35.120 --> 53:36.140 so what do I do 53:36.540 --> 53:38.220 if my kids are not doing what I say 53:38.220 --> 53:39.160 I punish them 53:39.160 --> 53:41.140 I rebuke them, I either spank them 53:41.140 --> 53:42.720 or rebuke them, give them a warning or whatever 53:42.720 --> 53:43.700 you correct it 53:44.520 --> 53:46.320 and even if you're doing a good job leading 53:46.320 --> 53:48.000 you do have to do that sometimes 53:48.000 --> 53:48.860 but you know what I find 53:48.860 --> 53:50.880 people that say like they never fight 53:50.880 --> 53:52.140 with their spouse usually 53:52.780 --> 53:54.680 what that means is the husband 53:54.680 --> 53:56.000 does everything the wife wants 53:56.560 --> 53:57.800 because he doesn't want to fight 53:58.500 --> 54:00.340 he's not willing to fight and he's thinking 54:00.340 --> 54:02.260 if I just give her what she wants 54:02.800 --> 54:03.960 I don't really want this 54:04.560 --> 54:06.540 but you know it will get rid of this problem 54:06.540 --> 54:08.540 and you know what happens it just gets worse 54:09.280 --> 54:10.160 and worse 54:10.720 --> 54:11.600 and worse 54:11.600 --> 54:12.840 and worse 54:13.680 --> 54:15.220 first time in chapter 5 verse 13 54:15.860 --> 54:17.580 and with all they learn to be idle 54:17.580 --> 54:19.240 wandering about from house to house 54:19.240 --> 54:21.620 and not only idle but tattlers also in busy bodies 54:21.620 --> 54:23.600 speaking things which they ought not 54:23.600 --> 54:25.840 I will therefore the younger women 54:25.840 --> 54:27.460 marry, bear children 54:27.460 --> 54:29.880 guide the house, give none occasion in the 54:29.880 --> 54:31.220 adversary to speak reproachfully 54:31.220 --> 54:33.880 for some are already turned aside after Satan 54:33.880 --> 54:36.000 I mean folks the Bible is not confusing here 54:36.000 --> 54:37.500 it says the roles 54:37.500 --> 54:38.420 of men and women 54:38.420 --> 54:40.500 men are the leaders, men are the providers 54:41.100 --> 54:42.180 and then the women 54:42.180 --> 54:43.860 are to guide the house 54:43.860 --> 54:45.680 marry, bear children 54:45.680 --> 54:46.960 guide the house 54:47.820 --> 54:50.100 and what I just said is like the most sexist thing 54:50.100 --> 54:51.500 you're ever going to hear in 2026 54:52.140 --> 54:54.120 the role of women is to have 54:54.120 --> 54:55.200 kids, well 54:55.680 --> 54:57.480 correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't just basic 54:58.000 --> 54:59.520 biology kind of show you that 54:59.520 --> 55:01.160 the women are made to have kids 55:02.000 --> 55:02.860 not the men 55:04.420 --> 55:06.580 go in your Bible to 1 Kings 19 55:07.860 --> 55:08.980 1 Kings 19 55:14.000 --> 55:15.840 and look in the context where she's 55:15.840 --> 55:17.240 advising women to separate 55:17.240 --> 55:18.080 in situations 55:19.060 --> 55:20.320 here's what Cassandra says 55:21.060 --> 55:22.780 I'm all for reconciliation 55:23.620 --> 55:25.140 but there has to be repentance 55:26.660 --> 55:27.680 you know what she's saying 55:29.900 --> 55:30.740 let's I mean look 55:30.740 --> 55:32.080 this is already a long sermon 55:32.080 --> 55:33.640 forgive me I do back to back sermons 55:33.640 --> 55:35.360 in the Philippines I got to squeeze them in 55:35.360 --> 55:36.600 so the sermons are a little bit shorter 55:37.900 --> 55:39.000 it's going to be a pastor 55:39.000 --> 55:40.420 Shelley linked sermon here today 55:40.420 --> 55:40.780 alright 55:42.820 --> 55:43.540 but I mean 55:43.540 --> 55:45.400 but think of judges 19 55:46.560 --> 55:48.360 right where she leaves the husband 55:48.360 --> 55:50.320 and it's just like well he should have 55:50.320 --> 55:52.140 just come back on his knees 55:52.140 --> 55:54.760 begging forgive me for everything I did wrong 55:56.260 --> 55:57.960 I mean is that the way you interpret 55:57.960 --> 55:58.620 judges 19 56:00.120 --> 56:01.700 because that's pretty much what she's saying 56:02.300 --> 56:04.300 she's saying husbands and wives 56:04.300 --> 56:06.020 getting to fight and the wife leaves 56:06.020 --> 56:08.380 it's like hey you know what I want them to reconcile 56:08.380 --> 56:10.420 if there's repentance 56:10.420 --> 56:12.680 if he says I'm sorry honey 56:12.680 --> 56:14.580 I'll do whatever you want 56:16.180 --> 56:17.980 now she'd say I'm railing 56:17.980 --> 56:20.500 but that is exactly what she's saying 56:21.100 --> 56:23.300 that it's always the husband's fault 56:23.300 --> 56:25.060 husbands and wives getting to fight 56:25.060 --> 56:27.320 they go several it's always the husband's fault 56:28.160 --> 56:29.460 and then the husband 56:30.060 --> 56:31.500 has to have repentance 56:31.500 --> 56:32.940 and say I messed up 56:32.940 --> 56:34.700 I'm sorry forgive me 56:34.700 --> 56:36.800 look I'm not advocating husbands 56:36.800 --> 56:38.760 being losers and derelicts 56:38.760 --> 56:40.380 we preach hard against sin 56:40.380 --> 56:42.660 let me tell you something there is no 56:42.660 --> 56:44.520 valid separation in the Bible 56:44.520 --> 56:46.940 that is just a step to getting divorced 56:47.860 --> 56:49.300 so why would you advise 56:49.300 --> 56:49.660 that 56:50.420 --> 56:52.680 and see you can walk it back and say well wait a minute 56:53.480 --> 56:54.680 I never told anybody 56:54.680 --> 56:55.460 to get divorced 56:56.520 --> 56:58.660 I said I'm against divorce yet 56:58.660 --> 57:00.880 when you led them down the 57:00.880 --> 57:02.260 road by getting them to separate 57:02.660 --> 57:04.600 that is exactly what she did 57:05.560 --> 57:06.120 look 57:06.900 --> 57:08.500 when you're in moments of things 57:08.500 --> 57:09.700 being difficult in marriage 57:09.700 --> 57:12.700 you need to stick strong together 57:13.400 --> 57:14.760 and work through it 57:16.160 --> 57:17.560 look marriage is a beautiful 57:17.560 --> 57:18.960 and a wonderful thing 57:18.960 --> 57:20.780 and I am much happier being married 57:20.780 --> 57:22.060 and God has blessed me 57:22.060 --> 57:23.760 with our family and my wife 57:23.760 --> 57:25.780 but that does not mean that our marriage 57:25.780 --> 57:26.780 is always perfect 57:27.920 --> 57:29.780 and I don't want to mislead people 57:29.780 --> 57:31.700 that are single in this room that you get married 57:31.700 --> 57:33.180 and all your problems because people think 57:33.180 --> 57:35.660 I get married I will always be happy 57:35.660 --> 57:36.980 and never have any problems 57:38.560 --> 57:39.820 well I mean if that's 57:39.820 --> 57:41.500 what you think I mean it's like 57:41.500 --> 57:43.080 good luck when you actually get married 57:43.540 --> 57:45.280 you need to go into it with the right 57:45.280 --> 57:46.740 mindset and realize hey you know what 57:46.740 --> 57:48.820 it's a beautiful thing it's a wonderful thing 57:48.820 --> 57:50.000 but you got to work at it 57:50.660 --> 57:52.360 and it will get better over time 57:52.360 --> 57:54.480 but you will have difficult times 57:55.600 --> 57:56.940 and in those difficult times 57:56.940 --> 57:58.180 you don't separate 57:59.220 --> 58:00.400 look there are people 58:00.400 --> 58:02.120 that come up to me from church 58:03.240 --> 58:04.560 and they're having problems 58:04.560 --> 58:05.920 they're going through a tough time 58:06.440 --> 58:07.920 and they're just wondering you know maybe 58:07.920 --> 58:10.400 you know for a couple months I need to focus on work 58:10.400 --> 58:12.080 you know she can live with her parents 58:12.080 --> 58:12.840 for a few months 58:13.480 --> 58:15.120 and it's just like and it's in the context 58:15.120 --> 58:16.780 of they're going through problems and I'm just like 58:16.780 --> 58:17.740 I don't think that's a good idea 58:18.280 --> 58:20.040 it's like you can do whatever you want 58:20.040 --> 58:21.320 but I don't think that's a good idea 58:21.320 --> 58:22.480 because you know 58:22.480 --> 58:22.560 so 58:24.500 --> 58:25.920 it's not going to remove the problem 58:27.360 --> 58:27.840 you know 58:28.420 --> 58:29.940 it's going to be there when you get back 58:29.940 --> 58:31.460 it's like I think you got to work through it 58:32.820 --> 58:34.460 and I'm never going to advise people 58:34.460 --> 58:35.720 to separate now here's the thing I mean 58:35.720 --> 58:37.500 I can't force people to make their decisions 58:37.500 --> 58:38.280 they do what they want 58:38.900 --> 58:41.540 but I will not advise people to separate from their spouse 58:42.320 --> 58:44.360 it's one step leading to divorce 58:46.220 --> 58:47.500 I'm all for reconciliation 58:47.500 --> 58:49.160 but there has to be repentance 58:50.080 --> 58:51.420 I'm all for reconciliation 58:53.100 --> 58:55.640 husbands and wives are having problems 58:55.640 --> 58:57.300 I'm all for them getting back together 58:58.260 --> 58:59.310 I'm all for reconciliation 58:59.720 --> 59:01.380 but according to her now the husbands 59:01.380 --> 59:02.720 got asked for forgiveness 59:02.720 --> 59:05.020 and say I'm sorry in the fight 59:05.560 --> 59:06.520 but number one 59:07.260 --> 59:08.720 the Jezebel from the Old Testament 59:08.720 --> 59:10.400 she caused her husband not to serve God 59:10.400 --> 59:11.300 she causes him to sin 59:11.300 --> 59:14.360 number two she fights against God's people 59:15.240 --> 59:16.100 number three 59:16.100 --> 59:18.260 she fights against spiritual leadership 59:18.840 --> 59:20.980 first Kings chapter 19 verse 1 59:20.980 --> 59:22.780 and Ahab told Jezebel 59:22.780 --> 59:24.180 all that Elijah had done 59:24.180 --> 59:26.140 and with Ohio he had slain all the prophets 59:26.140 --> 59:26.740 with the sword 59:27.180 --> 59:29.620 then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah saying 59:29.620 --> 59:31.640 so let the gods do to me and more also 59:31.640 --> 59:33.800 if I make not thy life is the life of one of them 59:33.800 --> 59:34.940 by tomorrow about this time 59:34.940 --> 59:37.780 when he saw that he arose and went for his life 59:37.780 --> 59:39.760 and came to be her sheba which belonged to Judah 59:40.240 --> 59:41.580 and left his servant there 59:41.580 --> 59:42.300 so you know Elijah 59:43.140 --> 59:44.180 great man of God 59:44.860 --> 59:45.940 first Kings 18 59:45.940 --> 59:47.580 one of the best chapters in the Bible 59:48.280 --> 59:50.460 and he looks like nothing's going to get him down 59:50.900 --> 59:51.740 but he's human 59:52.420 --> 59:53.400 he gets afraid 59:53.400 --> 59:54.860 Jezebel threatens his life 59:54.860 --> 59:57.480 and he kind of just backslides a little bit 59:57.480 --> 59:59.300 kind of runs for his life and out of it 59:59.300 --> 01:00:01.080 and he wishes for himself to die 01:00:01.080 --> 01:00:01.920 the Bible says 01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:03.840 number 12 01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:16.220 because once again 01:00:17.440 --> 01:00:18.720 Jezebel was a religious woman 01:00:18.720 --> 01:00:20.540 she loved the false prophets 01:00:21.500 --> 01:00:22.600 they ate at her table 01:00:23.260 --> 01:00:24.320 she was close to them 01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:26.920 she's very angry at the end of first Kings 18 01:00:26.920 --> 01:00:28.360 when they lose and they're killed 01:00:29.040 --> 01:00:30.280 she's mad about it 01:00:31.160 --> 01:00:32.120 but once you realize 01:00:32.540 --> 01:00:35.100 this doesn't just only exist 01:00:35.100 --> 01:00:36.740 with ungodly people 01:00:36.740 --> 01:00:38.260 like the Jezebel the Old Testament 01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:40.980 even saved Christian women can be like this 01:00:40.980 --> 01:00:43.000 because notice what it says in Numbers 12 where we have Miriam 01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:44.820 now I would say that Miriam in the Bible 01:00:44.820 --> 01:00:46.040 is an awesome character 01:00:46.660 --> 01:00:47.700 she's a great woman 01:00:47.700 --> 01:00:50.160 a great character but notice what it says here in Numbers 12 01:00:50.160 --> 01:00:50.680 verse 1 01:00:50.680 --> 01:00:53.840 and Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses 01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:56.080 because the Ethiopian woman whom he had married 01:00:56.080 --> 01:00:57.620 for he had married an Ethiopian woman 01:00:57.620 --> 01:00:58.800 and they said 01:00:59.500 --> 01:01:01.520 hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses 01:01:01.980 --> 01:01:03.640 hath he not spoken also by us 01:01:03.640 --> 01:01:05.160 and the Lord heard it 01:01:05.160 --> 01:01:06.960 now the man Moses was very meek 01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:08.760 above all the men which are upon the face of the earth 01:01:08.760 --> 01:01:10.420 look you know when you go forward on the story 01:01:10.420 --> 01:01:12.580 God completely supports Moses 01:01:13.140 --> 01:01:14.200 Moses is meek 01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:15.900 he's a humble guy 01:01:15.900 --> 01:01:17.840 he doesn't want to get into fight with them 01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:19.700 and he lets God fight his battles 01:01:19.700 --> 01:01:21.900 and then God comes through for him 01:01:22.680 --> 01:01:24.140 right but in the story 01:01:24.140 --> 01:01:27.260 Miriam is like well didn't God also speak by us 01:01:27.260 --> 01:01:28.460 and the Bible says 01:01:28.460 --> 01:01:29.700 Miriam is a prophetess 01:01:29.700 --> 01:01:31.700 I believe that she preached the gospel 01:01:32.140 --> 01:01:33.480 told people how to get to heaven 01:01:33.480 --> 01:01:36.220 but does that mean she should be getting up and preaching sermons though 01:01:36.220 --> 01:01:38.040 it's like didn't God speak by me 01:01:38.040 --> 01:01:38.960 and it's like no 01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:40.820 in fact it's kind of interesting with Aaron 01:01:40.820 --> 01:01:43.060 because like Aaron you had your chance 01:01:43.620 --> 01:01:45.300 you had your chance to be the leader 01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:46.800 you failed 01:01:47.580 --> 01:01:48.640 you messed up 01:01:50.080 --> 01:01:51.560 it's like you know there you are 01:01:51.560 --> 01:01:52.840 and then it's like there's a golden calf 01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:54.620 it's like you did not deal with the problem 01:01:55.760 --> 01:01:56.980 now here's the thing about this 01:01:56.980 --> 01:01:58.880 I mean if Aaron had beat his chest 01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:00.720 and dealt with it and destroyed the calf 01:02:00.720 --> 01:02:01.320 said no 01:02:02.160 --> 01:02:03.780 well there you go that's being a good leader 01:02:05.080 --> 01:02:06.640 even though the earlier quote said 01:02:06.640 --> 01:02:08.420 if you got to beat your chest you're being a bad leader 01:02:08.420 --> 01:02:09.580 well I think in 01:02:09.580 --> 01:02:11.860 Exodus 32 it would have made sense for Aaron 01:02:11.860 --> 01:02:13.600 to just give his authority 01:02:14.100 --> 01:02:15.080 and say no 01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:17.780 but here you have Miriam 01:02:18.260 --> 01:02:20.120 who is a godly person 01:02:20.460 --> 01:02:22.600 and yet this spirit of Jezebel 01:02:22.600 --> 01:02:23.620 passes upon her 01:02:24.100 --> 01:02:26.040 look I'm not saying these people are getting possessed 01:02:26.040 --> 01:02:28.520 with an evil spirit but I'm just saying in a symbolic sense 01:02:28.520 --> 01:02:29.440 it's like 01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:32.540 I'm also someone that God can speak through 01:02:32.540 --> 01:02:34.180 I've also done great things 01:02:34.180 --> 01:02:36.200 and she wants to have her voice too 01:02:37.120 --> 01:02:38.020 well I'm sorry 01:02:38.020 --> 01:02:40.060 but God did not give that authority to women 01:02:41.160 --> 01:02:42.340 God shows Moses 01:02:42.340 --> 01:02:44.000 and look the Bible says it's not just 01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:46.100 with preaching sermons the Bible says it is a curse 01:02:46.100 --> 01:02:47.640 when women roll over you 01:02:48.140 --> 01:02:49.880 it is a curse 01:02:50.460 --> 01:02:51.980 when women are the leaders 01:02:51.980 --> 01:02:53.820 of the country and running for president 01:02:55.740 --> 01:02:58.040 look I don't know who told you that 01:02:58.040 --> 01:03:00.320 the Philippines is an ultra-conservative 01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:01.220 old-fashioned country 01:03:01.220 --> 01:03:02.780 we've had multiple female presidents 01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:05.040 the current vice presidents 01:03:05.040 --> 01:03:07.400 a woman it's like that's not really 01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:08.440 the Philippines 01:03:09.520 --> 01:03:11.000 it's like no there's a real problem 01:03:11.000 --> 01:03:12.420 with feminism in the Philippines too 01:03:13.160 --> 01:03:15.180 in fact I think a lot of people would say that 01:03:15.180 --> 01:03:16.780 in most homes in the Philippines 01:03:16.780 --> 01:03:18.440 it's the wife that's wearing the pants 01:03:18.440 --> 01:03:19.300 it's not the husband 01:03:20.500 --> 01:03:22.660 now the thing is we expect this from the world 01:03:22.660 --> 01:03:24.780 but you know what happens in Baptist churches 01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:26.940 every Baptist church 01:03:26.940 --> 01:03:28.160 will say 01:03:28.900 --> 01:03:30.200 we believe husbands 01:03:30.200 --> 01:03:31.060 are the head of the home 01:03:31.720 --> 01:03:33.420 because the Bible is really clear on it 01:03:34.080 --> 01:03:35.940 it's kind of like a running joke though 01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:38.120 because it's not really true 01:03:39.540 --> 01:03:40.940 it's like they say that 01:03:40.940 --> 01:03:42.700 but then it's not really true 01:03:42.700 --> 01:03:43.240 in practice 01:03:44.100 --> 01:03:46.460 it's like well then how are you saying 01:03:46.460 --> 01:03:47.440 that husbands are the leader 01:03:47.440 --> 01:03:48.780 when you're not actually practicing 01:03:49.360 --> 01:03:50.320 what you're claiming 01:03:51.220 --> 01:03:52.440 go in your Bible 01:03:53.500 --> 01:03:55.020 to 1 Kings 21 01:04:00.740 --> 01:04:01.220 look 01:04:01.220 --> 01:04:01.980 it's bad enough 01:04:01.980 --> 01:04:03.320 to try to get in marriages 01:04:04.620 --> 01:04:05.880 and get women 01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:07.120 to separate from their husbands 01:04:08.340 --> 01:04:08.820 but 01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:11.240 when you're trying to call out 01:04:11.240 --> 01:04:13.940 pastors of churches that are doing great 01:04:13.940 --> 01:04:14.640 works for God 01:04:15.800 --> 01:04:18.080 it's like why don't you just keep your mouth shut 01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:22.620 it's just like don't you have enough enemies 01:04:22.620 --> 01:04:23.600 it's just like 01:04:24.080 --> 01:04:26.560 I'm not exactly the most confrontational person 01:04:26.560 --> 01:04:28.200 although I guess I'm kind of heading that direction 01:04:31.380 --> 01:04:32.480 but it's just like 01:04:32.480 --> 01:04:34.340 why are you calling out like pastors 01:04:34.340 --> 01:04:35.240 you know I thought 01:04:35.920 --> 01:04:37.620 that being a pastor is for men 01:04:37.620 --> 01:04:38.680 could we all agree on that 01:04:40.060 --> 01:04:41.800 well I'm sorry but if you're not a man 01:04:41.800 --> 01:04:43.280 you don't get to have an opinion 01:04:44.540 --> 01:04:46.080 I mean isn't that her logic 01:04:47.860 --> 01:04:48.400 it's like 01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:50.320 men can't have an opinion on 01:04:50.320 --> 01:04:52.500 women's issues well why do you have an opinion 01:04:52.500 --> 01:04:53.740 on what it means to be a pastor 01:04:55.080 --> 01:04:56.200 because you're not a man 01:04:56.780 --> 01:04:57.960 you don't know what it's like 01:04:57.960 --> 01:04:58.780 to be a pastor 01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:01.800 now I can't say she doesn't know 01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:04.200 what it's like to be a leader because she's leading her home 01:05:06.200 --> 01:05:07.280 what can I say 01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:10.720 but 01:05:11.580 --> 01:05:13.260 why are you calling out other pastors 01:05:13.260 --> 01:05:14.840 like why don't you worry about your own life 01:05:15.340 --> 01:05:17.960 it's like you're going outside the realm of just trying to teach women 01:05:17.960 --> 01:05:19.680 now you're trying to just rebuke pastors 01:05:20.180 --> 01:05:20.540 right 01:05:22.180 --> 01:05:23.040 first king 21 01:05:23.040 --> 01:05:23.700 number one 01:05:23.700 --> 01:05:26.260 the Jezebel the Old Testament she causes her husband 01:05:26.260 --> 01:05:28.040 not to serve God she causes her husband to sin 01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:30.340 number two she fights against God's people 01:05:30.340 --> 01:05:32.620 number three she fights against spiritual leadership 01:05:33.200 --> 01:05:34.060 number four 01:05:34.060 --> 01:05:35.400 she promotes sin 01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:39.080 now notice what it says here in 1 Kings 21 verse 4 01:05:39.640 --> 01:05:41.160 and Ahab came into his house 01:05:41.160 --> 01:05:42.980 heavy in displease because of the word 01:05:42.980 --> 01:05:45.240 which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him 01:05:45.240 --> 01:05:46.720 he had said 01:05:46.720 --> 01:05:48.880 I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers 01:05:48.880 --> 01:05:51.280 and he laid him down upon his bed and turned away his face 01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:52.180 and would eat no bread 01:05:52.740 --> 01:05:54.780 but Jezebel's wife came to him and said unto him 01:05:54.780 --> 01:05:57.460 why is thy spirit so sad that thou eatest no bread 01:05:57.460 --> 01:05:58.740 he said unto her 01:05:58.740 --> 01:06:00.600 because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite 01:06:00.600 --> 01:06:03.080 and said unto him give me thy vineyard for money 01:06:03.080 --> 01:06:04.520 or else if it pleased thee 01:06:04.520 --> 01:06:06.420 I will give thee another vineyard for it and he answered 01:06:06.420 --> 01:06:07.860 I will not give thee my vineyard 01:06:08.460 --> 01:06:10.560 now doesn't this just sound like a little kid 01:06:11.420 --> 01:06:12.980 that just didn't get the toy 01:06:12.980 --> 01:06:13.500 he wanted 01:06:14.640 --> 01:06:17.300 it's like I wanted the green toy not the blue toy 01:06:17.800 --> 01:06:19.160 I mean this is what happens 01:06:19.160 --> 01:06:21.100 when you have everything that you want in life 01:06:21.100 --> 01:06:22.300 it's always given to you he's complaining 01:06:22.300 --> 01:06:23.500 I didn't get this vineyard 01:06:24.100 --> 01:06:25.820 and Jezebel's wife said unto him 01:06:26.440 --> 01:06:28.520 does thou now govern the kingdom of Israel 01:06:29.040 --> 01:06:30.320 it's like well not really 01:06:30.320 --> 01:06:32.020 I mean you kind of do honey right 01:06:33.860 --> 01:06:35.860 does thou now govern the kingdom of Israel 01:06:35.860 --> 01:06:37.000 arise and eat bread 01:06:37.000 --> 01:06:38.440 and let thine heart be merry 01:06:38.440 --> 01:06:41.180 I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite 01:06:41.180 --> 01:06:43.140 now look she doesn't say 01:06:43.140 --> 01:06:43.940 what she's going to do 01:06:43.940 --> 01:06:46.420 but obviously Ahab realizes 01:06:46.420 --> 01:06:48.440 okay something wicked is going to be done 01:06:49.960 --> 01:06:50.980 he's aware of that 01:06:51.680 --> 01:06:52.500 burst in 01:06:52.500 --> 01:06:55.140 and set two men sons of Belia 01:06:55.140 --> 01:06:56.780 which is a term for children of the devil 01:06:56.780 --> 01:06:59.660 reprobates before him to bear witness against them 01:06:59.660 --> 01:07:01.640 saying thou didst blaspheme God 01:07:01.640 --> 01:07:03.840 and the king and then carry him out 01:07:03.840 --> 01:07:05.040 and stone him that he may die 01:07:05.040 --> 01:07:06.860 and the men of the city even the elders 01:07:06.860 --> 01:07:08.900 and the nobles who were the inhabitants in the city 01:07:08.900 --> 01:07:11.180 did as Jezebel had sent onto them 01:07:11.180 --> 01:07:13.880 and as it was written in the letters which she had sent onto them 01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:15.300 they proclaimed to fast 01:07:15.300 --> 01:07:16.900 and set Naboth on high among the people 01:07:16.900 --> 01:07:18.880 and there came in two men children of Belia 01:07:18.880 --> 01:07:21.120 and sat before him and the men of Belia 01:07:21.120 --> 01:07:22.880 witnessed against him even against Naboth 01:07:22.880 --> 01:07:24.080 and the presence of the people saying 01:07:24.080 --> 01:07:26.320 Naboth did blaspheme God and the king 01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:28.040 then they carried him forth out of the city 01:07:28.040 --> 01:07:29.700 and stoneed him with stones that he died 01:07:29.700 --> 01:07:32.500 now look the average person 01:07:33.100 --> 01:07:35.260 is not going to give a false witness 01:07:35.820 --> 01:07:37.440 to get somebody put to death 01:07:37.440 --> 01:07:38.720 but it's not true 01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:40.860 it'd be a pretty extreme thing 01:07:40.860 --> 01:07:42.040 for an average person to do 01:07:42.040 --> 01:07:43.320 but of course if you're a child of the devil 01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:44.500 you don't have a conscience 01:07:45.020 --> 01:07:46.480 you don't feel bad about it 01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:49.260 and so she gets two reprobates to do this 01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:51.380 and so there's not just 01:07:51.380 --> 01:07:52.780 her that's responsible 01:07:53.620 --> 01:07:56.200 he's responsible because he knew something wicked is going to happen 01:07:56.780 --> 01:07:58.460 what you're seeing is this woman Jezebel 01:07:58.460 --> 01:08:00.040 what is she doing she's promoting sin 01:08:00.040 --> 01:08:01.580 she's doing wicked things herself 01:08:01.580 --> 01:08:03.720 she's not even just causing her husband to do wrong 01:08:04.260 --> 01:08:05.200 she's doing wrong 01:08:05.200 --> 01:08:06.620 she's doing wicked 01:08:07.200 --> 01:08:08.940 okay now go on your bow to 1 Corinthians 7 01:08:08.940 --> 01:08:10.760 1 Corinthians 7 01:08:13.620 --> 01:08:15.240 now in the context 01:08:15.240 --> 01:08:17.440 of her talking about separating from your husband 01:08:17.440 --> 01:08:19.180 it's like how can we call this 01:08:19.180 --> 01:08:21.200 godly advice when you're making videos 01:08:21.200 --> 01:08:23.220 talking on and on about separating 01:08:23.220 --> 01:08:24.000 from your husband 01:08:25.380 --> 01:08:26.480 here's what she says 01:08:27.540 --> 01:08:29.040 there is no shame 01:08:29.040 --> 01:08:30.060 in seeking help 01:08:30.940 --> 01:08:32.760 Mary and Joseph and other examples 01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:34.680 because you think your life is in danger 01:08:36.780 --> 01:08:39.040 I mean just think of the stories that they're giving 01:08:39.040 --> 01:08:40.500 actual examples 01:08:40.500 --> 01:08:43.020 where people are being killed versus you're married 01:08:43.020 --> 01:08:44.580 you get into a fight 01:08:44.580 --> 01:08:47.020 and it's like well you're afraid for your life so just leave 01:08:47.020 --> 01:08:48.540 there's no shame in that 01:08:48.540 --> 01:08:50.360 it's not wrong don't feel bad about it 01:08:50.360 --> 01:08:53.240 forget about the preaching forget about what it says in the Bible 01:08:53.240 --> 01:08:54.680 about staying married 01:08:54.680 --> 01:08:57.040 just you know don't feel bad 01:08:57.040 --> 01:08:58.800 your life's threatened just leave 01:08:58.800 --> 01:09:01.560 I mean is this not the same feminist garbage you hear 01:09:01.560 --> 01:09:03.160 from any ungodly and wicked person 01:09:04.160 --> 01:09:05.460 just justifying leaving 01:09:05.460 --> 01:09:06.000 your spouse 01:09:07.560 --> 01:09:08.460 she says 01:09:09.360 --> 01:09:11.720 no shame in getting help from cops 01:09:12.620 --> 01:09:13.600 the Bible talks 01:09:13.600 --> 01:09:14.700 about protecting yourself 01:09:15.360 --> 01:09:17.880 well certainly not why is getting help from cops 01:09:19.300 --> 01:09:21.480 pretty stupid but it's like 01:09:21.480 --> 01:09:23.460 no why are you bringing them into that situation 01:09:24.940 --> 01:09:26.540 it's like you work it out yourself 01:09:29.780 --> 01:09:30.440 she says 01:09:31.160 --> 01:09:32.140 it's so hard 01:09:32.140 --> 01:09:33.940 for women in abusive relationships 01:09:33.940 --> 01:09:35.380 to see there is a way out 01:09:36.440 --> 01:09:37.220 and you know 01:09:37.220 --> 01:09:38.460 there's kind of statements in between 01:09:38.460 --> 01:09:40.040 she says you can find a good pastor 01:09:40.440 --> 01:09:42.640 maybe the man wants to stop but that is the pattern 01:09:42.640 --> 01:09:44.460 that he has grown up seeing you know what she's trying to do 01:09:44.460 --> 01:09:46.060 with that statement you can tell in context 01:09:46.060 --> 01:09:47.460 she's subtly trying to get people 01:09:47.940 --> 01:09:49.380 leave new IFB churches 01:09:50.400 --> 01:09:51.640 that's what she's saying 01:09:52.160 --> 01:09:54.460 she's saying just leave churches like faithful word 01:09:54.460 --> 01:09:56.420 leave churches where there are two 01:09:56.420 --> 01:09:58.280 over the top with men being 01:09:58.280 --> 01:10:00.580 in the authority just leave those places 01:10:01.640 --> 01:10:02.200 right 01:10:03.240 --> 01:10:05.100 and then in the context here 01:10:05.100 --> 01:10:05.660 it says 01:10:06.380 --> 01:10:07.340 another quote 01:10:07.340 --> 01:10:10.000 you should obey the law of the land 01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:12.340 because the land determines it 01:10:12.340 --> 01:10:14.380 to be rape okay this in the context 01:10:14.380 --> 01:10:15.420 talk about marital rape 01:10:16.060 --> 01:10:18.580 and look you know she's condemning 01:10:18.580 --> 01:10:20.600 husbands and wives being physically together 01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:22.300 which goes back to the original thing 01:10:22.300 --> 01:10:23.980 but I want you to just think about this logically 01:10:23.980 --> 01:10:26.060 for a second because the Bible is very clear 01:10:26.060 --> 01:10:28.520 notice what it says 1 Corinthians 7 verse 3 01:10:29.280 --> 01:10:30.160 let the husband 01:10:30.160 --> 01:10:32.260 render unto the wife due benevolence 01:10:32.260 --> 01:10:34.160 and likewise also the wife unto the husband 01:10:34.620 --> 01:10:36.400 the wife hath not power of her own body 01:10:36.400 --> 01:10:38.100 but the husband and likewise also the husband 01:10:38.100 --> 01:10:39.940 hath not power of his own body but the wife 01:10:40.520 --> 01:10:41.660 defraud you not one the other 01:10:41.660 --> 01:10:43.160 except if you have consent for a time 01:10:43.160 --> 01:10:44.920 that you may give yourselves a fasting and prayer 01:10:44.920 --> 01:10:47.140 and come together again that Satan tempts you not 01:10:47.140 --> 01:10:49.500 for your incontinence so what the Bible is saying here in context 01:10:49.500 --> 01:10:51.820 is that husbands and wives should have a normal 01:10:51.820 --> 01:10:53.420 relationship and that does include 01:10:53.420 --> 01:10:55.400 the physical part of marriage 01:10:56.040 --> 01:10:57.420 say the catholic church says 01:10:57.420 --> 01:10:59.460 well you know Mary was perpetually a virgin 01:11:00.020 --> 01:11:02.020 man talk about a miserable marriage 01:11:02.020 --> 01:11:03.240 that Joseph married into 01:11:04.460 --> 01:11:05.500 I literally 01:11:05.500 --> 01:11:07.220 heard this in the Philippines it's like 01:11:07.220 --> 01:11:09.880 because they're more serious about their idolatry 01:11:09.880 --> 01:11:11.600 over there and you know 01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:13.260 it's like if you're having problems 01:11:13.260 --> 01:11:15.320 with intimacy in your marriage 01:11:15.320 --> 01:11:16.980 then you should pray to the saint Joseph 01:11:17.680 --> 01:11:19.360 because he knows what you're going through 01:11:24.940 --> 01:11:26.040 and it's like 01:11:26.700 --> 01:11:28.640 bizarre I mean the Bible is super clear 01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:30.600 obviously they had a normal relationship 01:11:30.600 --> 01:11:31.360 okay 01:11:32.380 --> 01:11:34.200 but here's the thing about this the Bible says 01:11:34.200 --> 01:11:36.280 men and women should render dubent evidence 01:11:36.280 --> 01:11:38.860 look I actually know of situations where it's actually the opposite 01:11:38.860 --> 01:11:40.520 where the men refuse 01:11:40.520 --> 01:11:42.460 and the wife wants to have a normal relationship 01:11:42.460 --> 01:11:44.460 she loves God wants to have a normal relationship 01:11:44.460 --> 01:11:46.280 and then the husband is the one that's refusing 01:11:46.280 --> 01:11:48.080 that's wicked it's wrong 01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:50.800 and it's wicked the other way as well 01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:52.440 if the wife is refusing 01:11:53.460 --> 01:11:54.880 now look obviously there's 01:11:54.880 --> 01:11:56.080 a little bit of common sense here 01:11:56.080 --> 01:11:58.560 obviously if one of the spouses 01:11:58.560 --> 01:12:00.200 is really sick 01:12:00.200 --> 01:12:02.220 and really feeling bad 01:12:02.220 --> 01:12:05.140 it's like obviously you're going to comfort them 01:12:05.140 --> 01:12:06.220 and try to take care of them 01:12:06.220 --> 01:12:08.340 okay but when 01:12:08.340 --> 01:12:11.160 a wife is just refusing week after week 01:12:11.160 --> 01:12:12.640 after week after week 01:12:12.640 --> 01:12:14.940 who is the person the Bible is saying 01:12:14.940 --> 01:12:15.600 is in sin 01:12:17.260 --> 01:12:18.260 who's clearly 01:12:18.260 --> 01:12:20.700 directly not gray 01:12:20.700 --> 01:12:22.480 area in sin 01:12:22.480 --> 01:12:24.120 that would be the wife 01:12:24.780 --> 01:12:26.680 because the Bible says she is 01:12:26.680 --> 01:12:28.400 to render dubent evidence 01:12:29.140 --> 01:12:30.600 and yet in that video 01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:32.440 she gives a passing comment 01:12:32.440 --> 01:12:34.500 I think 01:12:35.080 --> 01:12:36.580 I think she said like 01:12:36.580 --> 01:12:39.100 six months or something like that I could be wrong 01:12:39.100 --> 01:12:40.820 but she just kind of says it in passing 01:12:40.820 --> 01:12:42.340 if the wife is refusing for a long time 01:12:42.340 --> 01:12:44.300 yeah I don't think that's right I don't think she should do that 01:12:44.300 --> 01:12:46.040 but it's just like you spent like 01:12:46.040 --> 01:12:48.420 a long time condemning like marital rape 01:12:48.420 --> 01:12:49.600 well here's the thing about this 01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:51.920 would a guy do that 01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:54.380 if the wife is just giving a normal relationship 01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:57.500 just think about this logically 01:12:57.500 --> 01:12:59.080 the wife sins 01:12:59.080 --> 01:13:00.680 by refusing the relationship 01:13:00.680 --> 01:13:01.620 with her husband 01:13:03.160 --> 01:13:04.200 she's the one at fault 01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:06.900 if she gave him 01:13:06.900 --> 01:13:08.120 a normal relationship 01:13:08.120 --> 01:13:09.640 then there wouldn't be an issue at all 01:13:10.680 --> 01:13:12.040 but you know it is an issue 01:13:12.040 --> 01:13:13.100 because in marriages 01:13:13.100 --> 01:13:15.860 people try to weaponize the physical relationship 01:13:15.860 --> 01:13:16.540 against their spouse 01:13:16.540 --> 01:13:19.160 and so look when you're siding 01:13:19.160 --> 01:13:21.620 with the side that is sinful 01:13:21.620 --> 01:13:23.760 and wrong on many things 01:13:23.760 --> 01:13:25.280 on separation 01:13:26.010 --> 01:13:27.700 on women refusing to be intimate 01:13:27.700 --> 01:13:28.620 with their husband 01:13:28.620 --> 01:13:31.080 it's just like you are promoting sin 01:13:33.260 --> 01:13:34.800 you are promoting sin 01:13:34.800 --> 01:13:36.480 and you're justifying wicked people 01:13:36.480 --> 01:13:38.340 you're justifying wicked people 01:13:38.340 --> 01:13:39.740 that are in rebellion and sin 01:13:39.740 --> 01:13:41.140 in fornication right now 01:13:41.140 --> 01:13:43.260 yes you are promoting sin 01:13:43.260 --> 01:13:46.160 and accepting people committing sin 01:13:46.160 --> 01:13:47.640 outside of marriage 01:13:47.640 --> 01:13:49.640 and giving a pass on that 01:13:49.640 --> 01:13:51.260 and saying nothing negative 01:13:51.260 --> 01:13:53.280 and being friends with all of them online 01:13:53.280 --> 01:13:55.160 and yet you're condemning people 01:13:55.160 --> 01:13:57.460 that are just in a normal relationship 01:13:57.460 --> 01:13:59.540 that's exactly what you're doing 01:13:59.540 --> 01:14:02.740 now turn your Bible to 2 Kings chapter 9 01:14:03.540 --> 01:14:04.840 2 Kings chapter 9 01:14:09.730 --> 01:14:11.030 and here's the problem with this 01:14:11.510 --> 01:14:13.210 when people just blow off 01:14:13.210 --> 01:14:14.370 their mouth all the time 01:14:14.370 --> 01:14:15.270 you know what happens 01:14:15.930 --> 01:14:18.110 even if you're against it 01:14:18.110 --> 01:14:19.870 it can still affect you 01:14:21.410 --> 01:14:23.490 think about someone who's in a bad church 01:14:23.490 --> 01:14:25.590 hearing a false gospel over and over again 01:14:25.590 --> 01:14:26.830 it can start to affect them 01:14:27.990 --> 01:14:29.850 they can start making some weird statements 01:14:30.370 --> 01:14:31.850 now there's obviously a line 01:14:31.850 --> 01:14:33.490 where you're not going to cross there 01:14:33.490 --> 01:14:34.250 but I'm just saying 01:14:34.250 --> 01:14:36.450 they're going to start to get confused on stuff 01:14:37.170 --> 01:14:38.450 you can't just allow it 01:14:38.450 --> 01:14:40.350 well I was like eat the meat and spit out the bones 01:14:40.350 --> 01:14:41.850 yeah well that's good advice 01:14:41.850 --> 01:14:43.790 if like 99% of the meat 01:14:43.790 --> 01:14:45.370 is meat and not bones 01:14:46.970 --> 01:14:48.470 I hate eating meat 01:14:48.470 --> 01:14:50.070 where it's like it takes 30 minutes 01:14:50.070 --> 01:14:51.150 because it's filled full of bones 01:14:51.810 --> 01:14:53.410 it doesn't matter how good it is 01:14:53.410 --> 01:14:55.750 I'm too lazy to just spend all that time 01:14:55.750 --> 01:14:58.190 and it's like yeah you know what 01:14:58.190 --> 01:15:00.570 with preaching it's like you search the scriptures 01:15:00.570 --> 01:15:01.850 to see whether the things are so 01:15:01.850 --> 01:15:03.090 because no matter who it is preaching 01:15:03.090 --> 01:15:04.290 we're going to make mistakes 01:15:04.290 --> 01:15:05.970 you figure it out for yourself 01:15:05.970 --> 01:15:08.310 you read the Bible but it's just like 01:15:08.310 --> 01:15:10.270 most of it is actually good information 01:15:11.170 --> 01:15:12.830 you know you listen to this garbage 01:15:12.830 --> 01:15:15.210 over and over again it will start to affect you 01:15:16.810 --> 01:15:19.030 it becomes so common 01:15:19.030 --> 01:15:21.210 that it will start to feel normal 01:15:21.210 --> 01:15:22.870 the process of normalization 01:15:23.450 --> 01:15:24.830 it's kind of like in India 01:15:24.830 --> 01:15:26.230 people bow down to a cow 01:15:26.230 --> 01:15:28.490 is that normal? no it's not 01:15:29.170 --> 01:15:30.710 but it will start to feel normal 01:15:32.050 --> 01:15:33.590 I mean when I first moved to the Philippines 01:15:34.450 --> 01:15:36.310 I mean Idolatry was pretty crazy to me 01:15:37.790 --> 01:15:39.450 now I'm just kind of used to it 01:15:40.950 --> 01:15:42.050 sad to say in the Philippines 01:15:42.050 --> 01:15:43.170 when I first moved there 01:15:43.170 --> 01:15:44.630 I mean seeing a man wearing a dress 01:15:44.630 --> 01:15:46.190 I mean I was like what in the world 01:15:46.590 --> 01:15:47.430 but you see it everywhere 01:15:48.310 --> 01:15:49.950 there's a lot of cross-dressers in the Philippines 01:15:50.910 --> 01:15:52.950 it's very high up in the LGBT culture 01:15:53.870 --> 01:15:55.050 and you see it all the time 01:15:55.050 --> 01:15:56.730 you kind of just get used to it 01:15:59.070 --> 01:16:00.210 and the thing is 01:16:00.210 --> 01:16:01.450 when you hear somebody saying 01:16:01.450 --> 01:16:02.670 so many stupid things 01:16:02.670 --> 01:16:03.990 and all this feminist garbage 01:16:03.990 --> 01:16:04.790 you know what takes place? 01:16:05.490 --> 01:16:07.770 eventually it slowly starts to affect women 01:16:09.550 --> 01:16:10.230 it's crazy 01:16:10.230 --> 01:16:11.770 I don't really follow honestly 01:16:11.770 --> 01:16:13.610 issues in America as much 01:16:13.610 --> 01:16:14.670 with politics and stuff 01:16:14.670 --> 01:16:16.410 I talked to my mom several times a week 01:16:16.410 --> 01:16:17.410 so she'll fill me in 01:16:17.410 --> 01:16:20.350 and it's just like this Lindsay Clancy case 01:16:20.350 --> 01:16:21.970 it's like what in the world 01:16:21.970 --> 01:16:23.770 when people are defending a woman 01:16:23.770 --> 01:16:24.690 who murdered her children 01:16:25.910 --> 01:16:27.570 so pastor how should they deal with it 01:16:27.570 --> 01:16:28.630 she should already be dead 01:16:28.630 --> 01:16:29.710 the death penalty 01:16:30.570 --> 01:16:31.470 end of story 01:16:32.050 --> 01:16:34.650 as far as I know she didn't deny doing it 01:16:34.650 --> 01:16:36.470 so why are we even having a debate about it 01:16:38.010 --> 01:16:39.830 and yet there's all these women 01:16:39.830 --> 01:16:41.050 just trying to defend her 01:16:42.950 --> 01:16:43.570 and look 01:16:43.570 --> 01:16:46.050 when this garbage comes into a local church 01:16:46.050 --> 01:16:46.830 you know what takes place 01:16:46.830 --> 01:16:49.250 it will start to affect the people at church 01:16:50.210 --> 01:16:51.650 I'll be honest with you 01:16:51.650 --> 01:16:53.430 I'm a little bit late to the party 01:16:53.430 --> 01:16:54.990 when it comes to preaching against feminism 01:16:54.990 --> 01:16:57.210 because honestly a year and a half ago 01:16:57.210 --> 01:16:59.050 I was like you know why is there so much preaching 01:16:59.050 --> 01:17:00.750 on feminism is it really that big of an issue 01:17:00.750 --> 01:17:02.990 maybe it wasn't as big in the Philippines but now I'm like 01:17:02.990 --> 01:17:04.390 okay my eyes are awake 01:17:04.390 --> 01:17:05.330 okay I was wrong 01:17:06.390 --> 01:17:07.230 I get it 01:17:08.170 --> 01:17:09.990 and here's the thing when you're a pastor 01:17:09.990 --> 01:17:12.330 one of your jobs is to really just be 01:17:12.330 --> 01:17:14.310 I mean you're vigilant you're ready for anything 01:17:15.210 --> 01:17:16.150 it's kind of like this 01:17:16.150 --> 01:17:18.050 you know I remember just you know going back 01:17:18.050 --> 01:17:20.410 over a decade ago you know a lot of my family 01:17:20.410 --> 01:17:22.570 thought I was really extreme against the LGBT 01:17:24.530 --> 01:17:26.130 but they kind of changed their mind 01:17:27.970 --> 01:17:29.990 it's like you know every time I talk to the mom 01:17:29.990 --> 01:17:31.790 she just tells me how much she hates the LGBT 01:17:31.790 --> 01:17:33.630 I'm thinking mom it's 01:17:33.970 --> 01:17:34.170 amen 01:17:36.650 --> 01:17:37.690 it's like because 01:17:37.690 --> 01:17:39.590 it's gone so far 01:17:40.950 --> 01:17:41.890 that it's obvious 01:17:43.390 --> 01:17:44.230 and the thing is 01:17:44.230 --> 01:17:45.930 when it starts at the beginning it's like 01:17:45.930 --> 01:17:47.650 oh it seems small doesn't seem like 01:17:47.650 --> 01:17:48.770 is that really that big of a deal 01:17:48.770 --> 01:17:51.670 but then it gets worse and worse 01:17:52.230 --> 01:17:53.990 and worse and worse 01:17:54.490 --> 01:17:56.250 and then it's just like front and center 01:17:56.250 --> 01:17:58.270 before your face like man feminism is just 01:17:58.270 --> 01:17:59.590 like all around us 01:18:00.690 --> 01:18:02.570 and in fundamental Baptist churches 01:18:04.170 --> 01:18:06.350 fighting against male leadership in the homes 01:18:07.630 --> 01:18:09.510 what's the end of Jezebel in the Old Testament 01:18:09.510 --> 01:18:10.810 2 Kings 9 verse 30 01:18:11.850 --> 01:18:12.930 and when Jehu was 01:18:12.930 --> 01:18:13.930 coming to Jezebel 01:18:14.670 --> 01:18:16.590 heard of it and she painted her face 01:18:16.590 --> 01:18:18.890 and tired her head and looked out of the window 01:18:18.890 --> 01:18:20.870 and as Jehu entered into the gate she said 01:18:22.030 --> 01:18:23.190 had Zimri peace 01:18:23.190 --> 01:18:23.990 who slew his master 01:18:24.950 --> 01:18:26.470 and so basically she's wicked 01:18:26.470 --> 01:18:28.330 and evil she's like well you know what if you kill me 01:18:29.350 --> 01:18:30.510 you're not going to have any peace 01:18:30.510 --> 01:18:32.250 just trying to say whatever to just 01:18:32.250 --> 01:18:34.290 get out of the situation so she's not killed 01:18:34.770 --> 01:18:35.770 and Jezebel is destroyed 01:18:36.630 --> 01:18:37.610 and you know for 01:18:37.610 --> 01:18:39.890 for all of time 01:18:39.890 --> 01:18:41.530 the name Jezebel 01:18:41.530 --> 01:18:43.930 is going to be known as the most evil woman 01:18:43.930 --> 01:18:45.650 that has ever existed 01:18:47.610 --> 01:18:49.290 the number one name 01:18:49.290 --> 01:18:51.010 that is evil and known as wicked 01:18:51.370 --> 01:18:52.230 is Jezebel 01:18:52.230 --> 01:18:55.190 we got a Revelation chapter 2 we're going to close up 01:18:55.190 --> 01:18:56.050 Revelation 2 01:18:56.050 --> 01:19:10.000 and you know what this really comes down to is just a matter of 01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:10.940 authority 01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:13.840 there's God 01:19:13.840 --> 01:19:15.920 given authority in the Bible 01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:17.080 look 01:19:17.560 --> 01:19:19.260 I am not a perfect husband 01:19:20.360 --> 01:19:21.840 I am not a perfect father 01:19:23.280 --> 01:19:24.220 but I am the one 01:19:24.220 --> 01:19:25.280 who makes the rules in my home 01:19:26.700 --> 01:19:27.820 because I am the leader 01:19:28.780 --> 01:19:30.000 I make the decisions 01:19:30.000 --> 01:19:31.860 I make the rules and here's the thing 01:19:31.860 --> 01:19:33.740 I might disagree with things 01:19:33.740 --> 01:19:35.020 that you do in your home 01:19:36.060 --> 01:19:37.480 but you have the authority 01:19:37.480 --> 01:19:38.380 as the husband 01:19:39.080 --> 01:19:40.420 and let me tell you something men 01:19:41.560 --> 01:19:43.640 if your wives are being 01:19:43.640 --> 01:19:45.520 rebellious and just starting to promote 01:19:45.520 --> 01:19:46.900 this feminist sort of garbage 01:19:46.900 --> 01:19:48.460 you have to put a stop to it 01:19:49.300 --> 01:19:51.140 it's going to get worse and worse 01:19:51.140 --> 01:19:53.460 and here's the thing about it she's not going to be happy 01:19:53.980 --> 01:19:55.780 being this rebellious Jezebel 01:19:56.980 --> 01:19:57.700 she's not 01:19:59.300 --> 01:20:00.920 the way that God designed 01:20:00.920 --> 01:20:03.360 is women to have a meek and quiet spirit 01:20:03.360 --> 01:20:05.020 in the sight of God it's a great price 01:20:05.020 --> 01:20:06.480 let me tell you something in the sight of your husband 01:20:07.780 --> 01:20:08.920 it's a great price 01:20:10.120 --> 01:20:11.740 not fighting against your husband 01:20:11.740 --> 01:20:13.200 not fighting it's all 01:20:13.200 --> 01:20:15.220 but no having a meek and quiet spirit 01:20:15.220 --> 01:20:15.920 and here's the thing ladies 01:20:16.760 --> 01:20:18.720 you are going to be happier doing that 01:20:19.500 --> 01:20:21.280 than just being like I am woman 01:20:21.280 --> 01:20:22.240 hear me roar 01:20:23.480 --> 01:20:24.580 that's not going to make you happy 01:20:25.400 --> 01:20:26.500 it's going to make you miserable 01:20:27.660 --> 01:20:29.940 look I would say a lot of us that are in this room 01:20:29.940 --> 01:20:31.780 like my wife is a very smart woman 01:20:31.780 --> 01:20:33.260 and I'm sure that a lot of guys here 01:20:33.260 --> 01:20:34.680 say man my wife is very smart 01:20:34.680 --> 01:20:37.400 and look you know sometimes my wife is right about things 01:20:37.400 --> 01:20:38.520 like she has the right opinion 01:20:38.520 --> 01:20:41.060 but the thing is I do make the decisions in my home 01:20:41.060 --> 01:20:42.480 it's not a matter of 01:20:42.480 --> 01:20:43.800 who's right in the situation 01:20:43.800 --> 01:20:45.880 it is a matter of authority 01:20:46.860 --> 01:20:48.340 and God given authority 01:20:49.020 --> 01:20:50.860 I've had jobs before where my boss 01:20:50.860 --> 01:20:52.820 asked me to do something and inside my head 01:20:52.820 --> 01:20:53.960 I'm thinking you know what 01:20:54.720 --> 01:20:56.260 I don't think that's a good idea 01:20:56.900 --> 01:20:57.840 you say what do you do 01:20:58.300 --> 01:20:59.500 I just do what he says 01:21:01.260 --> 01:21:02.680 because I don't make the rules 01:21:02.680 --> 01:21:03.400 I'm not the boss 01:21:03.400 --> 01:21:05.860 it doesn't matter if I'm right 01:21:06.520 --> 01:21:07.840 it's like I don't make the rules 01:21:07.840 --> 01:21:10.180 and when it comes to God given authority 01:21:10.940 --> 01:21:12.460 the God given authority 01:21:12.460 --> 01:21:13.500 is the one that makes the rules 01:21:15.140 --> 01:21:16.720 Revelation chapter 2 verse 20 01:21:18.140 --> 01:21:18.580 notwithstanding 01:21:18.580 --> 01:21:19.720 I have a few things against thee 01:21:19.720 --> 01:21:21.320 because I'll suffer that woman Jezebel 01:21:21.320 --> 01:21:22.840 which called herself a prophetess 01:21:22.840 --> 01:21:25.680 to teach and seduce my servants to commit fornication 01:21:25.680 --> 01:21:27.160 to eat things sacrifice and idols 01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:29.940 and I gave her space to repent of her fornication 01:21:30.420 --> 01:21:31.560 and she repented not 01:21:31.560 --> 01:21:32.900 you know sometimes you think man you know 01:21:32.900 --> 01:21:34.940 pastors are like too long suffering 01:21:34.940 --> 01:21:36.180 they give people a lot of chances 01:21:36.180 --> 01:21:37.520 but you know God's long suffering 01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:40.440 and honestly you know one of the things 01:21:40.440 --> 01:21:42.240 is when you kick somebody out of church 01:21:42.240 --> 01:21:44.440 you kind of want it to be super obvious 01:21:44.440 --> 01:21:46.260 where everybody's in agreement with you 01:21:46.820 --> 01:21:48.520 rather than it being in the gray area 01:21:50.100 --> 01:21:51.480 but she's given a space 01:21:51.480 --> 01:21:53.260 to repent of her fornication 01:21:53.780 --> 01:21:54.960 and she repented not 01:21:54.960 --> 01:21:57.000 and says behold I will cast her 01:21:57.000 --> 01:21:58.920 into a bed and them that commit adultery 01:21:58.920 --> 01:22:00.200 with her into great tribulation 01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:02.160 except they repent of their deeds 01:22:02.160 --> 01:22:03.920 and I'll kill her children with death 01:22:03.920 --> 01:22:05.780 and all the churches shall know that I am he 01:22:05.780 --> 01:22:07.060 which searcheth the reins and hearts 01:22:07.060 --> 01:22:09.460 and I'll give them to every one of you according to your works 01:22:09.460 --> 01:22:12.000 look we're seeing a bona fide church 01:22:12.460 --> 01:22:14.160 this is not a Pentecostal church 01:22:14.640 --> 01:22:16.080 this is not a Catholic church 01:22:16.080 --> 01:22:17.900 you're looking at a fundamental 01:22:17.900 --> 01:22:19.260 Baptist type of church 01:22:19.260 --> 01:22:21.360 you're looking at a church that is a legitimate church 01:22:21.360 --> 01:22:22.980 a real church 01:22:22.980 --> 01:22:24.680 and yet in a real church 01:22:24.680 --> 01:22:27.080 even going back 2,000 years ago 01:22:27.080 --> 01:22:29.280 this spirit of feminism 01:22:29.280 --> 01:22:30.200 can actually come in 01:22:30.790 --> 01:22:33.040 how much more in 2,026 01:22:34.980 --> 01:22:36.640 wives be meek 01:22:36.640 --> 01:22:37.720 be quiet 01:22:37.720 --> 01:22:39.320 follow your husbands 01:22:39.320 --> 01:22:40.860 love your husbands 01:22:40.860 --> 01:22:44.120 stand by your pastor in these fights 01:22:44.120 --> 01:22:45.880 and stand by authority 01:22:46.820 -->

of the couples 01:22:54.900 --> 01:22:55.660 that are in this room 01:22:56.200 --> 01:22:57.840 for the wives to be submissive 01:22:57.840 --> 01:22:58.620 and to love their husbands 01:22:58.620 --> 01:23:00.080 to be a meek and quiet woman 01:23:00.080 --> 01:23:02.180 ask you to help all the men be the proper leaders 01:23:02.180 --> 01:23:03.720 and take authority in their homes

our lives 01:23:08.400 --> 01:23:09.880 in Jesus' name we pray amen
