Oh, right? Oh, right? Oh, right? An okay family was going on out there today.
Excuse me, as we're still on the voice come back, if you will. I've got, I got my water here. I got my computer here. Family welcome in us.
A thousand plus strong, right? And we're gonna keep on climbing and climbing. This is family welcome in us who hunger after. Before I get going here.
Those who hunger after believe in love and seek for that. They seek for it. Searching for it. You found it here, ladies and gentlemen.
I can boldly say it. Not because of in me per se, right? But because of a willingness to tell the truth to people for as much as I have learned it to share it with the family, right? That's what we're talking about.
Okay. Those who seek after that, which is a different view, family welcome in today's we're on, I believe it's the second day of both Hanukkah and the first day, not both the second day of Hanukkah first day, or excuse me second day, excuse me of Kwanza, right? Shut out to both of those holiday traditions. Okay.
Long celebrated. I know one will say one is longer than the other and all that kind of thing. Ladies and gentlemen, we got to get over what started what and who and seeing and I think because we do all that is because Massel got us chasing the bag. So to chase the bag and get the quality therein, right?
When you watch the Pirates of the Caribbean's movies, the captain there, the first captain who was after Miss Elizabeth before good old Orlando Blooma swooped in and scooped her up, right? He was talking about, no, I don't think it might have been his boss, but I digress. The thought process comes out of showing your, oh no, it wasn't even, wow, wow, I'm totally wrong. Never mind.
And people who watch. People watch these movies that check me on it, but already I beat y'all to the punch. It's actually in Lord of the Rings, the third movie in Lord of the Rings Return of the King, where the steward of Gondor is a complete jerk. And he's talking to his son, like most daddies who are jerks talk to their kids, right?
And you got them now self doubting themselves. So to regain your honor and your love for them, how sick, right? But to regain your love and your honor for them, for him, I should say, he utters the phrase showing your quality. I've got to show the steward of Gondor my quality, how sick that he would then throw himself toward death, trying to defend the town already overrun by evil for his harm, not for his profit for his harm.
Just add a chance to gain his parents love Lord Lord Lord, how we missed it, man. I ain't going to talk no one today y'all because we prepare him for the end of the year review. A lot of, a lot of, we're going to go over those with past different events in the fabric in this year. Some real powerful stuff, right?
Some very real powerful stuff. Me and some of these notes here as I've been looking over those we have lost this year. Again, times I remember, we talked about that this year, right? It's important to put your mind in remembering.
Do this in remembrance of me to our Christian brothers and sisters. It's the reason for communion, y'all. Right. It's the reason for the sacrament.
It's the reason for all. It's talking about communion with the maker. Right. It's the way we express communion with the maker.
These things go on in different parts of the world like to our wicked brothers and sisters, the same type of sacraments. Right. Hmm. Our Buddhist brothers and sisters are Hinduist brothers and sister, same thing.
Right. Pakistani brothers and same thing. Seek our Muslim brothers and sisters. Right.
Same same idea. And as well, Jewish anybody who believes something. You have some things and rituals. Y'all want to look at where rituals is dealing with what we do.
Okay. This is basically said, these actions we do in worship. This is another way this word worship comes from that people make it too spooky, especially in the Christian church. Oh, we didn't make that word too spooky.
It's what you're doing response to something, y'all. Right. And I know, of course, this base kind of elementary little, you know, early high school type silly. Really what it is is scorning comes out.
And we worshiping our teddy bears. You know, we do that stupid type of stuff, which is unnecessary at this point. Right. Again, when you grow up in the mind, you leave some of that stuff behind.
Right. And this is not to make fun of nobody. Okay. We're just saying what it is.
All right. There is a thing we're laughter and humor and jokes are cool. And then there's a thing we go too far with it as we saw Bill Smith and Chris and Chris Roth, right? And everybody got up this old way that it said in hood from in the family from big momma and everybody here to hear your jokes.
Okay. You know, and specifically talking about as we talk about remembering things. Right. Again, this is talking off the cuff here about remembering things.
Right. We're not here to when that wasn't his comedy show. You there at a global event using a little bit of your humor that you're known for to then introduce the next segment of the show. And you damn sure don't have to do it at the expense of the black woman's hair.
So you can't control the response of Will Smith, whether or not he should have gotten up and slapped the man as a whole of the topic. But again, things have an equal and opposite reaction. Isn't that what we're taught from him from science? So that's the case.
What you think that means with people's actions? As you've heard me talk about which we will continue into the beginning of the new year, right? As we also tie in what happens in the new year. We have to start walking.
Lord knows it's okay. You're going to see the same repeated pattern of people who do not renew their mind. Somebody's going to be shooting up a school law. I don't.
This ain't about prophesying. It's not about none of this. We're talking about the pattern of humans, y'all, that do not renew the brain. They don't update the thinking.
So you won't stay stuck in the same thing, right? When certain groups of people got to get X off the planet. You'll watch out for your babies, man. We see this thing with Jay Z and Puff Daddy.
Listen, watch out for your babies, y'all. In your families, around your community, in school, after school. It is your responsibility in between whatever we doing, right? Whatever.
Whatever. We getting on Puff Daddy for freak shows and all this type of stuff. We doing all freak shows, whether it be in your house or someone else's right? Hey, we're just saying what it is.
Y'all, I know. Because then by the time you get to confessional, at least a confessional nobody's really been raiding you for. When you get to Christian Church, people started to raid you for us. See, at least in the story with Jesus and the woman called adultery.
There was no real derating for it. You just let him know, hey, let's do this a bit different, right? I know I'm Christian, but no, you said don't sin. I know where y'all go with it, okay?
There's no need, y'all. We got energy that emanates and flows from us one word that is used to talk about it is aura, right? That would shine around you, the way they depicted with that halo around Jesus' head all the time. Unfortunately, that he's white, right?
Oh, man. All the people groups around the planet were white, y'all. You got to soak that in your psyche and then you're sold, man. The same way they soaked it in your psyche and sold opposite way.
That's why you think this way. That's why you think this way. Now, man, I went knit. That wasn't it, y'all.
We're going to read some verses and passages here just as we continue to get toward the end of the year here. I hope y'all have had an awesome holiday season, right? Or having, I should say, a good holiday season and awesome holiday season of the Christmas specifically, right? That you got your heart's desires, that you woke up that morning, got what it is.
If not, that you worked toward getting what's for you, right? We're talking about those who didn't get what they wanted. Not from a greedy standpoint. We're talking about where you didn't get what you wanted.
Like your family is not making enough money that they couldn't get that thing for you. Or that whatever tragedy may have happened this holiday season. There's a lot of pain wrapped around the holidays, y'all. For as much as there's this love and light and everything, a lot of pain around the holidays, man.
We hope y'all what you didn't get, right? That's what we mean by when we say what you didn't get. That what you didn't want, right? That you go after it.
Don't let the dream die. Don't let the dream die, y'all. Go after your hopes and dreams. Excuse me.
Go after your hopes and dreams. Don't let disappointment snuff it out. I'm just looking at different things. I was looking at Saturn, because again, this is where Christmas is in her twine here.
It was a party between December 17th and 23rd, last six days, with people party, and they gave gifts on it last day on the 23rd. Again, these are different things that you can look right up on your computer. You need to stop believing in the lives. Most people are telling you where you can't find out.
This is, I can't tell now. Well, you can't find out this information. We can find out all this information. It's there.
It's time for us to go search. Seek. Seek. And you will find, right?
You've got to go look for it. If you want to, you've got to go look for it. So, let's see which verse we started as we're in here. What we're talking about this one.
We're talking about lately we've been talking about being good to people. I mean, good news stories being good, man. And everybody on is making what made these lands great. What made these lands great was when Europe wasn't here.
That's what made these lands great. Everything after that sucked. And all you've got to do is talk to, again, we talk about the three basic people groups here, because that's really what it was. You had to travel into the local groups and all that kind of thing.
We're talking about the people groups, right? That were here on these lands going all the way from Canada, you know, North America, through Central, South America, and the islands. The Americas, right? The old Tom Cruise, not Tom Cruise.
Tom Hanks is about to do a special on NBC, which I'm going to watch because, again, it's about learning this land. All the animals, all the interaction. Need to start doing one on the aboriginals of America, but we'll leave that alone, right? We'll leave that alone.
We just think it's all Australian. That's okay. Right? So, it's going to be cool to see what that is about the Americas.
I think it's supposed to come out like January 28th or something like that, right? So, that'll be cool to see. I think it's also talking about things that are cool to see. It was cool to see Sonic 3, right?
Let's do a little rhyming there. Sonic 3 was really good, you know. I don't know by the time you get to sequence and stuff like that. It's cool.
Again, you got a little statue of Sonic here, man. I like Sonic, man. I'm a 90s baby, also. So, Sonic is something I grew up with, man.
You know, hearing the music, which they did a little homage to the music in the movie, it's a good movie to bring your kids to. It teaches a lot about respect. It teaches a lot about how you can be after something bad has been done to you. Do we know anything about that today, ladies and gentlemen?
No. Do we know anything about it, man? Now, you can even let that pain change at a certain level and not to the point where you go hurt somebody else. I think it's so real, y'all.
I think it's so real. There's traumas that come to our lives, the robsus of our child, the robsus of innocence, things that we can't get back anymore. Hey, yeah. But you can let love shine through that you don't have to do that mess to nobody no more.
I'm going to say it again to our black brothers and sisters. Let go of the hate that the white man and woman did to you. It won't work. You cannot fight this fight with that type of fire.
It's got to be something else. Defense not attacking this spot. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
was now wrong and neither was Malcolm X. They're both right. You got to look and trust in the teachings from your parents and from the good God above. When you are supposed to attack in every one of these stupid instances where you got someone needle picking you in the supermarket, right?
And needle picking you in the library. And this goes to every other belief or every other culture, by the way. Needle picking you at the auto spot when you when you checked in your car, right? Come on now somebody.
Needle picked you at the clothing store when you sit in your car. You can get the clothing store when you sit in there trying to look for a good dress or suit for Sunday morning or Saturday night party, right? Needle picking you at the library when you're just trying to get a book so that you can do a report for school. Right?
Now I'm taking it back to when I was in school. Maybe it's not like that fit today anymore for kids, right? Let it go. Let that mess go.
You ain't got to do it back to them to prove something that's not what this was about. That's not what this was about. Y'all somebody get it inside. That's not what this is about.
Y'all. Anyway, Philippians 2. Therefore, there be any now Philippi, right? We're talking over in Greaslam, over in Macedonia, Mediterranean area, whether we're not just white or light to skin people.
They were also dark skin people, tan skin folks. Okay. Just just just got to get that on inside of your heart because this is this. When you read this, right?
So be reading the scripture different over here. I'm not doing that mess everybody telling folks. I can't. Right?
There's a thousand other platforms that's doing that right now while I'm talking y'all and they're there for you to for you. I'm not doing that. Okay. Some of the things that were going on in Philippi at the time.
Let's see if I can find them. You had Nero going over to explore the Nile River in AD 60. Do y'all know where the Nile River is? It's okay.
We'll let you know over here. It's in northeastern Africa. So you know what? No, it's arc landed wherever in Turkey.
Okay. Again, in the Middle East. You got to get this on the inside man. Stop.
Stop the thing that they use the Bible here to let you know there's only one group of people. There was multiple groups of people living all over the place. Same speaking the same Spanish. Speaking the same Swahili speaking the same thing changed in dialects changed, but it's still but it's still a basis and form of similarity y'all.
Right. Flowing from north to South Africa through 11 countries. But Rundi, the Congo, Egypt, Ridia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, or Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda. Again, this is I'm not doing it.
Philippi Philippians chapter two, if there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, all the stuff Christians talking about. If there be any powers of mercy fulfill complete my joy. Right. Is Paul talking to the church in Philippi people of in and around the town Christians in Philippi.
Over in Greece. Okay. From Rome, what you study, because he's in jail for speaking these things. No different how they threw Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. in jail for wanting to have his black brother and sister free, but we can keep making a distinction between the two. It's okay, because this one was about salvation. The other one wasn't, KJ.
Right? This is the excuses I get. Anyway, let us continue. That you'll be like-minded.
Do we know anybody like-minded out there? Like I said, we've come to the point now, ladies and gentlemen, in life. Wherefore, as much as they are but railing against us, it's time for those who are like-minded to stand up. Do you know where we can go, where we can be at peace together, ladies and gentlemen?
That's what it's about. Not this violence. Not this violence. See, every people grew.
At the time this was written in Philippi was not living in- you realize, right? At the time that this was written in what world events were going on. Niro was imperruous. This is why I'd make that whole statement about Christians being popular to Niro, because that's what was going on.
Right? There's this whole thing of Baduches rebellion. So there was a queen that was going up against Roman rule. When do we see that before?
This is AD 60. Not 1920. Right? We're using World War I reference.
Not the 1940s. World War II reference. Right? Now the 1860s, like the Civil War, we're talking AD.
To show you how things really don't change. Like they say, for as many things change, it stays the same. That's real. Okay?
Now look at who they talk about. This queen had a uprising against. Roman rule where? In Britain.
In where? See, when we talk about that over in Britain, over in the United Kingdom, right? And shout out to those who are listening to us in the United Kingdom. It's about understanding the thing here.
Do you want to change? Well, do you want to continue this same thing that Queens and Queens and Queens was doing? Is it? Which one is it?
Because when people talk about change out the mouth, this is not the two and two aren't coinciding. Can't change from all this game of thrombins type violence. And then try to make it for 2025. Right?
Since we're going from 2024 to 2025. I'll get myself used to saying 2025. Right? 2025 type violence.
No, this is about 2025 type of piece. Huh? Right? So Britain.
So clearly some stuff was going on in Britain. Roman governor in Britain. Again, this is this is all you got to do. Ask your phone computer.
World events. What world events were happening in 60 AD? Because this was the time in which this letter was written. Give yourself historical qualities and priorities, y'all, because you'll understand what's being said better.
Right? Roman governor, excuse me. Roman governor. My nose get to go in the morning.
Oh, my apologies. Roman governor in Britain. Guy is police. Was a Roman governor in Britain during during this rebellion.
So clearly, homeboy doing some foul stuff. The miss the misses right here was not cool with it. So I'm done. Right?
Oppression, breeze rebellion. I digress. So go back into the verse. So anything that's dealing with anything of love and godliness and the Holy Spirit and any of this stuff, right?
Get around people who are like minded like this. I don't want to deal no more with folks that OK, keep talking about this conservative liberal trash. This whole thing with democratic or Republican mess. I don't care about mass assistance.
We talking about living in peace down here. Having the same love being of one accord of one mind. Okay. Verse three, let nothing be done through strife or vain glory.
Finally in the Bible, it's not saying proud. It's saying what it is. It's saying glory. Y'all, you just about you.
You so vain that you probably think this song is about you. It's not the song of life. As I've heard it said listen to a podcast this morning, the rhythm of life, man. And it is a rhythm.
Oh, believe it on the inside. Y'all, you can look a little bit of place. I was looking at some stuff on my social media today with our native brothers and sister shout out one time right to all of the tribes, not just the civilized or recognized. We talk in every tribe, right?
Native brothers and sisters, man. They don't need lands in peace before you came calling. Yeah, they had their own stripes. Can we stop with that mess for a minute?
Y'all. Because again, you're speaking in mass of ease, because when they came over here exploring, they saw them in tribal fights and all that mess. This is where the unity part comes in. It's time to stop showing that we can't walk in unity.
We can. We're choosing not to. There's a difference. And nothing be done through strife or vanglory, but in loneliness of mine.
Let each esteem other or another again. This is English, right? It's translating old language. So take that up with King James, right?
Let each esteem other or another better than themselves. Again, like you read in Romans books before, do not think of yourself more highly than you ought to think. See, another problem in society, although hardness is involved, is how does the hardest creep in when you stop becoming humble? Why can't husbands and wives again?
We said, we're going to be going there. We go in there. Why can't husbands and why? And it's good to go there?
You're not going to learn nothing if we don't talk about it. Why can't husbands and wives and wives and husbands get along? Because hardness has crept in the heart where pliability is necessary for a romantic relationship. Come on, somebody.
You can't keep looking at that man or woman as your enemy and get anywhere with them. Sex ain't enough to do it. Money ain't enough to do it. The Beatles said it best, man, can't buy me love.
Man, you can't buy this thing. It's organic. It's intuitive. It's part of the human being.
This is where I'm at, y'all. See, again, I can't do it. I can't even in talking on relationships, I can't do that mess no more. I'm done on soul ties and all that.
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. Everything you do in life has a tie to the essence of another. So they talk about when they say soul, man, which is why when you read in the Proverbs, we've read Proverbs 6, where it's talking about how you shake hands with a friend, the surety that there isn't that. You got to be careful who you're shaking hands with.
Don't be so thirsty for the people who use the term that's used today, right? Don't be so thirsty for the friendship that you throw out the natural order of things, which really and truly, even though Christians go hunting for homosexuals, man. See, we switched our way, we still keep the witches there. We added in some people over time, which is the homosexual, right?
Which again was actually early hunt, because again, when you're reading Scripture, it's kind of telling you that. Now, maybe some of this was not only from the culture, then they looked down on that or they believed that was unholy, but also the same thing in England. They looked down on that. So any man who was dressed a feminine, you want to X out list, you know, again, they had a big old X out list.
Right? Shout out to our Catholic brothers and sisters one time. This X communication list is huge, right? When you watch John Wick and he talking about X communicado, that X communication list is huge, man.
Can we include anybody? Is this club so exclusive that, hey, guess what? Since I want to cut out everybody, we'll go over here now, right? We'll join in.
We're the party and the invitation has clearly been given to us all now. We'll have a good old time about that. And then we'll let God above deal with and settle the score and then we'll go on from there, right? Let us continue.
Verse three, let nothing be done through strife. Let the strife go, y'all. Let's just take a few seconds here. Like I said, I ain't gonna hold you long.
Where we at? 27 minutes. All right. A little long.
Stripes and noun. That means bitter or violent disagreement. Can we have any disagreements without being bitter or violent? Oh, wow.
Bitter or violent disagreement struggle will fight. I just type in the word strife in your search bar. Right? What are the prospects for overcoming the strife between the Christian minority and the Muslim majority?
This is one of the questions that's there. You know, how do you overcome it? I ain't got to overcome it. I don't already looked in Genesis and it already said that my half brother half cousin, however you want to look at is blessed by God.
Let me say a little bit different. Why the hell are we even fighting to begin with? My Muslim brother and sister believes as they so do. The Christian brother and sister believes as they so do.
And you walk together in that reality, y'all. Right? And I walk in a competition with each other. We walk in unity with it.
That looks different. Y'all. This is why I talk about business the way I talk about business. We need to stop fleecing down each other way.
We do. If you pay me $755,000 over the next three years, you'll be able to get blah blah. See, see that kind of trade, that's massive talking. I'm just using an exaggeration here.
We all know what that's like. For 35 cents a day, you can help these dying kids in Ethiopia or Sudan wherever they pick it. Just sick, super sick. You want to help them people get these other nations who got colony packs with them until this day out of that.
See that fight though takes a little bit more effort. 35 cents real simple. Not helping though, but real simple to do. Again, the way your Bible says is that my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
So we've been picking up one that's a little heavy. Kind of real super heavy. Maybe we need to switch out. Never mind.
Never mind. Let us continue in this reading here. Right? Vayne, glory, but lowliness of mine.
This is the only weakness, y'all. That's what this is. That's what neatness is the definition of weakness. So you got to put yourself in a certain place.
Nobody's got to choose to accept this. Not just presenting information, y'all going for that. Lowliness in mine. Let each esteem the other better than themselves.
Look not verse four. Every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Take the combination of this verse, y'all. It's not telling you not to pay attention to your stuff.
Course, you're supposed to pay attention to your stuff. Do but but but again, like we make this joke on his podcast. We like staring at that but but these kind of butts we don't like looking at so much. And male and female, let's stop with just man looking at a woman's booty.
We women check out men's butts too. Man, we got again. Take the blinders off this masculine feminine thing, right? Y'all.
Just let's put it out there, man. Everybody is checking out everybody's package. This is why we say when we talk and send us some don't. Okay.
Before you get your feathers blistered, I get it. Everybody don't. But again, these things happen in varying degrees. People are checking out each other.
Y'all is obvious. Okay. Let's take the blinders off. It's obvious that we check out each other.
The thing is what do you do with that information? Are you going to sleep behind somebody else's back? Or does everybody know about it and then these things occur? Because that's two different scenarios.
Again, just because a society doesn't accept it is two totally different things between what you can do and what you shouldn't do, right? Or what you shouldn't shouldn't do person. But you can people are either right to do with this as they so choose. Just the power choice we can get.
So. Every man also on the things of others. Every person. Okay.
So don't just think about stuff. Think about somebody else's stuff. That's powerful. Right there we go.
Because once you open up that door to your patio in your mind, Lord, the world is big. The world is big. So hey, right? United States, the end.
Let's not be so concerned about our things, but the things of the African. The things of the islander. The things of the Asian. Yeah, no, no, no, no, I know.
I know what the defenses in the mind have become. I know. We're just saying what it is though. The things of the person in Iceland and Greenland, right?
The things of the person in Japan. Australia, India, right? Let's start looking a little further, folks. So a little further.
And of course, we're going to stop there with verse five because it's got to call it at the end of it. But again, languages are spoken as this is is conjoining to thoughts. So what preceded five con joins with after five. We just want to stop on five.
Let this mind at this thought process, everything from one to five. Just as much as the rest of it, let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, right? If we talking about to our Christian brothers and sisters, if we talking about being Christian and following after Christ, you got to realize you got to be okay going into the Holy house and telling folks to stop turning it into a dinner thieves. You got to be okay talking to your fellow brother, sister, that is ready to throw rocks and stone people to stand in the gap and be a defense helping people to help their lives get from one place to the next.
If you say in you a Christian, you should study the holy texts. Listen to what I just said, the holy texts. Somebody need to stop hiding the apocryphal under the under the bed. You know, somebody needs to stop not looking at Buddhist and into his thought.
You a Christian, this is where the this is where the subject of apologetics comes in. You defend this faith. You believe so much as time to look past the curtain. There is much there to learn.
There is much there to learn. You can't operate the verse in the Bible talking about restoring people in a spirit of meekness if you're not spiritual and you can't get spiritual until you study spiritual things and you won't study spiritual things if you stay and stuck only in these 66 books. No, you won't because there is life around these books that has affected the writing of these books. Somebody talked to me yet is truth and holiness here.
Central things to salvation and holiness here. Yeah, we know this. But you're just going to deny the rest of the planet around you. Slippery slope if you ask me family.
I'm just saying again, opinion of the content creator. That's a slippery slope if you ask me. No, let this mind be in you, which is also in Christ Jesus, to look not just on your things. Right?
Oh, that group of friends you got things that we chase after unnecessarily. That we win in debt this holiday season trying to buy it to keep up with Susan and Martha and Mary. We just use them some old school terms. I guess you could put in Desiree or Rayanne or, I don't know, let's go back into the 80s.
Billy Jean, right? Whatever name you want to put in there. She'll mica, right? Rhonda.
We just we're saying what it is, man. We ain't bag chasing over here. We don't I ain't no need for that. It's originality over here.
I've been made in him. We move live and have our being. It's about me and how me connects to you. Right?
So that's what I got for y'all today, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for walking this road with me and we're a little bit over to my apologies. You know how you boy can get but again, thank y'all for walking this road with me. And as always and until next time, look to find the beauty in a different view.
