Full Transcript

Those who attacked the Lord Jesus were people of the church temple. The temple of the Old Testament is the church of the New Testament. That's the difference.

So who attacked the Lord Jesus? Not strangers. Those who went against him, those who sold him, those who said crucify him, they were his own people, the people of the temple, the Israelites, the worshippers of the true divine God. They ended up being the crucifiers of the true divine God.

And today, when you speak the truth, who attacks you first? Christians. Not strangers. Christians.

They crucify you because whatever happened to your master will happen to you if you are forking in the footprints of the Lord Jesus. What do you do? This is life. I'll send him a fishburger and then I'll smack him across the head.

Now, when a person is distant from God, foul spirit will accompany that person. When a person is distant from God, foul spirit will accompany that person. And then what happened to that person? He starts working, going, coming, talking, doing things, thinking he is doing everything right, yet without knowing, everything he does is wrong.

Why? Because he's being influenced by foul spirits. And when Satan controls, that person becomes blind. No matter what they say or do, they won't even realize they're doing it wrong.

Satan can blind anyone who is distant from Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Don't ever think you are smart enough for Satan. You're not.

The moment you leave the Lord Jesus, Satan will devour that person and they won't even know what hit them there. I'm going to show you. I'm going to show you.

Even if that person is a Pope, a Patriarch, a Cardinal, a Bishop, a Priest, or someone who is faithful. It doesn't matter. Don't think you're the Pope.

That's it. Satan can't. No, no, no, no, no, no.

He will turn you around and spin you around so fast you won't even, you'll lose track. Where your head is and where your feet are, you'll lose track. I'm going to show you.

The only one who protects you from Satan is the Lord. It's God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Not your wealth, not your education, not your intelligence.

Nothing, nothing, nothing. It's the Lord. The other side is totally different.

In the spiritual path, you cannot use your head. One day we're going to talk about spiritual life. In the spiritual path, this cannot function.

Your intelligence cannot function. Why? Because it's something above and beyond your intellectual capacity. It's a spiritual path.

The brain can only function in the tangible physical path. The moment you are out of the tangible realm, the brain will go numb and it will become dumb. Numb and dumb.

It can't function. You need the Lord. You need the Lord.

So when that person walks away from the Lord, Satan will influence that person and they won't even know what they're doing. They think they are doing the right thing, not realizing it's all wrong. Because distancing yourself from God will lead to spiritual blindness.

Distancing oneself from God will lead to spiritual blindness. And today the world is spiritually blind. It doesn't matter if you see physically.

The physical side is nothing compared to the spiritual side. Without the spiritual side, the physical one is blind, even if it's open. It's blind.

That's why the world is acting absolute in blindness. And they are saying we are geniuses. The medical field is so advanced, we can modify viruses.

The scientific field is so advanced, we can prove the existence of the universe. Give us another 13.5 billion years, we'll let you know. Because it's been over 13.5 billion since something exploded.

So they need another 13.5 to find out whether they came from a gorilla or not. So the geniuses, they are now boasting about their superpower weapons. So come Mr. Genius, you created the nuclear weapon, correct? Yes, I'm a genius.

Wow. So your wisdom, your genius led you to total human destruction. What a genius.

So one rocket in Australia, you can kiss it goodbye. So this is the intelligence of the human being. Oh, and in recent times, it's gradually coming on board and it's going to explode.

And I pray not the AI, artificial intelligence. What a bunch of losers. Miserable losers.

They don't know any better. Blinded by Satan. Why? Because they denied God who is Jesus Christ.

Satan is controlling them. Brilliant genius losers. Well, when someone distance themselves from God, that will lead them to spiritual blindness.

On the other hand, if someone gets closer to God, the holy apostles will accompany that person. This is where we come. Those who get closer to God, the holy apostles will accompany that person.

Who are the holy apostles? The angels of heaven. The angels of heaven will accompany the person who is close to God. Let me tell you my beloved sons and daughters.

Let me tell you one thing. Angels do wonders in our life, yet we don't eat listening to his word. You'll be reading his word.

You'll be living his word. And when you live his word, you are in the light. And when you're in the light, Satan who is darkness cannot comprehend you.

Because what overcomes darkness is the light. Darkness cannot overcome the light. Why? Because darkness is non-existent.

What scientists can measure is the light, not darkness. Because God never created darkness. Because darkness is the result of the absence of light.

And that's why when Jesus Christ comes, who is the light of the world as he said, when he comes, Satan cannot exist anymore. Because Satan is darkness. When the light shines forth, darkness can only do one thing, disappear.

So when you have the Lord Jesus, you will step on Satan. And you will crush Satan in his own territory, hell. Be close to the Lord.

So your spiritual eye is open. And when your spiritual eye is open, I can show you my beloved child. It is then and then only you'll understand this world is vanity.

What are you chasing? I don't know what the church is doing. They're attacking someone talking about the Lord. Hey listen, wake up you blind.

Instead of putting your hand in my hand and my hand in your hand and going seeking our lost children, which Satan has taken to the world, has taken him to drugs, alcoholism, gambling, destructive things. Instead of coming together, uniting you blind people, uniting, uniting. Oh now this person doesn't say Jesus Christ is two natures.

He says one nature. What a sick mentality, sick. Our sons and daughters are being lost by the day to Satan.

And look at us geniuses talking about things we will never fully understand. Can anyone come and explain to me the nature of God? Until when are you going to remain sick in the head? Until when? You Catholics, you Orthodox, you Protestant. Until when? Wake up, wake up, wake up.

Everyone says I'm right, yet everyone is wrong. Everyone. Where is the wisdom? Where is the intelligence here? We need to come together to save our sons and daughters from the mouth of Satan.

We're too busy attacking each other. We're too busy attacking each other. Until when? Until when? Until when? We embraced the pandemic and now we're embracing the LGBT.

Geniuses, geniuses, absolute geniuses, absolute geniuses. Do you see how Satan has blinded even Christendom? Why? Because we became too preoccupied with the throne. We forgot the owner of the throne, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

If you are so right about your faith and you hold the truth, you should have stood against evil in 2020. If you hold the truth, shouldn't you be standing and being a warrior for the truth? Where were you in 2020? You were encouraging your flock to put the poison in their bodies. Why? Because traitors do that.

Cowards do that. Not real men of God. Blind people do that.

Not those who are open by the hand of the almighty Jesus Christ of Nazareth. So you're telling me about talking about truth? Don't ever talk about truth because you're blind. You're blind.

Now speaking with love, but love can cry out in the wilderness of this world too. I'm not angry. This is a holy zeal for the house of the Lord.

Holy zeal. I'm not angry. I love you.

I'll cook you red rice, tabbouleh, baba ghanoush, anything you want. Italian, Italian pizza, whatever you want brother. I don't, but you need to wake up.

Enough man. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy.

Honestly, it's unbelievable. Anyway, so when you come closer to God, his angels will surround you, the holy apostles, and his word will engulf you. It will open your spiritual eye.

You will see everything satan is doing in this world. Lost to satan. My goodness.

Now who are the prophets? They are the new testament ones, not the old, because they came after the apostles. If you put prophets and apostles, that's the old testament prophets. If you put apostles and prophets, they're new testament prophets.

Of course. Let's read in 1st Corinthians 14.3. It's not on the screen. 1st Corinthians 13.14. Sorry.

1st Corinthians 14.3. Saint Paul says this, but he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. Wow. But he who prophesies, that's a new testament, prophesies, speaks edification, exhortation, and He who prophesies in the new testament does three things.

Edification one, exhortation two, comfort to men three. Let's look at this. Prophets of the new testament speak edification.

What is edification? Improving, instructing, and enlightenment of others. Improving others, instructing others, and enlightening other people's life. That's edification.

What's exhortation? Strongly encouraging or trying to persuade people to do things of good nature. Strongly encouraging or trying to persuade people to do things of good nature. And giving, number three, giving comfort to people.

New testament prophets do the following. Teach, encourage, and comfort people. How? By preaching the word of the Lord Jesus to people.

When you, when you are sitting with people and you start talking to them about the Lord, you start sharing the word of the Lord Jesus with them, what are you doing to them? You are teaching them, you are instructing them, and you are comforting them. Because the only one who can teach is God. The only one who can instruct is God.

The only one who can comfort is God. God gave his son to be everything in our life.
