Mar Mari Emmanuel explains that the one thing killing your peace is breaking God's eternal word, but through Jesus Christ's mercy, believers can be restored and live in true freedom and love.
In this powerful teaching, Mar Mari Emmanuel explores the source of true peace by examining the eternal nature of God's word and the conflict between His justice and love. He explains how Adam's choice brought death but how God's mercy through Jesus Christ offers salvation and freedom.

We need to make a choice, my beloved. Do you want to live in a world that has no love in it? Do you want to live in a world that you are not free in it? What is happening? Why are people going out on riots? For what? Freedom. Has anyone taken notice of this? The question is, we need to ask ourselves, why are you fighting for your freedom? Who gave you this freedom? Who made you to be free? Who told you to fight for your freedom? Who? Have you been taught in primary school, high school, university, a subject called freedom? No.
You've been taught everything but freedom. Where do you get it from? Definitely not the Big Bang. Because the Big Bang in itself has no brain.
Somebody controlled it. There was a brain that made the Big Bang go boom. This being is the creator who sits on the throne as the king, the king.
This king is Jesus Christ. He is your God. He is your creator.
He said to Adam, since you're my son, I created you on the basis of love. With love, I have to give you freedom. With freedom, I have to give you choices.
With choices, I have to give you the will. Now, I'm coming to you, Adam, and I'll say the following. You see this tree? It's called the tree of life.
You can eat from it. There are other trees that are good for your physical nourishment. You can eat from them for as long and as much as you want.
No problems. But there is one tree, Adam, I will give you a warning, based on love, not dictatorship as governments are doing nowadays. Based on love, this tree, the moment you eat from it, surely you shall die.
This tree is called the tree of life, the tree of good and evil, the knowledge of good and evil. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam, do not eat from it. For the day you eat from it, surely you shall die.
Meaning, there is no escape. You will kill yourself by yourself. Adam, since he was created by the one who can never change his mind, he chose based on those options, based on that freedom, based on the foundation of all called love, he chose to do what God forbade him of doing.
He broke God's word. The scroll is at the right hand of the one who sits on the throne. That's what I'm trying to get to.
He broke God's word. God's word can never be changed because it comes from the being that can never change his word, his mind. Impossible.
So he said, Adam, I'm stuck. God is saying this. It's not written.
I'm just sort of elaborating, but it's within the Holy Bible. I'm not going out. He's saying, Adam, please be careful.
I am really bounded now by my word. The moment I spoke, I am limited to my word. I must fulfill my word.
So please, I'm begging you, Adam, whatever you do, do not break my word. Because I can't simply just flip, flick the switch and say, it's all right. Don't worry about it.
I can't. I must judge you. Please, son, be careful.
Do not press the wrong button. Like so many parents, they beg their kids, do not do the wrong thing. My daughter, please.
My son, please. I beg you. My husband, my wife, my brother, my sister, my mom, my dad.
I beg you do not do the wrong things. Please, I'm begging you. It's not that I am afraid of you.
It's not that I am in need of you, but it's because I love you. That's why I'm begging you. Do not press the wrong button.
Adam chose to press the wrong button and ate from the forbidden tree. What happens now? God's word is eternal. God's word cannot be changed.
It comes from the one who cannot change neither his mind nor his being. The moment he ate from the tree, the word of God, that went forth prior said, the day you eat from this forbidden tree, Adam, surely you shall die. Adam ate.
Adam had to die. Because the one who spoke was God. No one else.
The never changing God. The scroll that was placed at the right hand of the one who sits on the throne is the will of God and the judgment of God. The Holy Bible is the will of God and the judgment of God at the same time.
God willed it for his word to go forth and reach the human race. He wanted, he chose to do so. So it was the will of God for his word to be written.
He willed it. But since he wrote it, and because the word cannot change, the word has to judge whoever is going to break it. I hope you're with me.
The word must judge whoever is going to break it. One day, this person approached me who was non-Christian. I'm not going to mention which religion, with all love and respect to all the religions out there.
By the way, Christianity is not a religion in the sense of a religion. Because the moment you invoke the word religion, automatically you are invoking a set of rules, guidelines, regulations, and laws. Every religion on the face of this planet, with all love and respect, you go to them, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Islamism, every religion on the face of this world, this earth, you go to them, they'll tell you the following.
If you want to have a good place in the end, you must do this and this and this and this. If you don't do these, you're going to end up in a bad place. So it's about doing, fulfilling laws, guidelines, rules, and regulations.
You don't do them, you're going to end up in hell or somewhere bad. Or you come back the next life as a lesser being. In Christianity, it is not a religion in that sense because when we go to Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, He will never say you must do this and this and this and this.
He will never say this. In fact, the Lord Jesus, in the Gospel of John 15 5, He says, without Me, you cannot do nothing, anything. You cannot.
Without Me, you cannot do anything. So what is Christianity? Christianity is a belief in a person, not set of laws. That is why Christianity is based on love before anything else.
Because love can only exist with another being like me. I cannot love a rock. I cannot love, even though we love animals, but I'm talking about an intimate love where the two become one.
You cannot marry a dog. You cannot marry a rock. You cannot marry water.
You cannot marry any nature that is not yours. You can only relate and establish a relationship with the one who shares the same nature as you, human nature. Love cannot be found in laws because laws lack love.
There is no love in the law. The law says, you break the law, the law will break you. There is no love.
There is judgment. So you go to a religion that tells you, you must obey and do these laws. This religion lacks love.
And where there is no love, there is hell. There is no life. What makes life, life is love.
Christ, Christianity is a belief in a person, not laws. I cannot relate to words laws. I can only relate to a human being like me.
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord, as your Savior, as your God, this Jesus Christ, whom you have accepted into your life, He will begin to do all the laws that God requires of you. He'll do them through you. Without Jesus, forget it.
Because there is no human being that can ever fulfill the law of God. Love your neighbor, love God with all of your heart, soul, strength and spirit and love your neighbor like yourself. Has anyone fulfilled this one? God gave Moses 10 commandments.
Moses gave the Israelite nation 613 commandments. They could not, they could not fulfill none of the 10. Imagine fulfilling 613.
Good luck. You struggled with 10. How are you going to manage 613? The Lord Jesus came.
He said, I'm going to give you one law called love. Forget about don't kill, don't steal, don't, don't, don't. Forget about all of them.
Forget about all the laws. He says, the day you learn how to love, you will no longer kill. The day you learn how to love, you will no longer steal.
The day you learn how to love, you will no longer hurt no one. Because it is love that gives you that ability. So going back to that guy who was non-Christian background.
He said, he asked me a few questions and then I came back and I asked him this. I said, when you make a mistake, who are you offending? When you make a mistake, who are you offending? And I'm talking about making a mistake toward a human being, another human being. I said, when you are making a mistake against a human being, who are you offending? He said, that human being.
I said, I know. But ultimately, who are you offending? Aren't you offending the author of this being? Who created this human being? If you believe in God, do you? He said, yes. I said, well if you believe in God, wasn't it God that created this human being? So when you are offending this human being, ultimately you are offending the creator of this being, who is God.
So when you've offended God, how is your sin gonna be forgiven? He said, well, God is Almighty. From above, He can just take this magical wand, as some said. Feel sorry for them.
And from heaven says, I forgive you. You just go to God and say, sorry God, I've done this. And God from heaven is gonna say, forgive you, because God is Almighty.
He can do whatever on the spot. I said, do you believe God is love? He said, yes. Even though it's not in their religion.
Do you believe God is justice? He said, yes. I said, love and justice can never meet. They're two parallel lines.
Please just bear with me. I'm trying to explain the scroll. Love and justice are two parallel lines, can never meet.
I said, law, justice is law. When you go to court and you start begging the judge, you've broken the law, you've done something wrong, and you are begging the judge in his courtroom, please judge, have mercy on me. I made a mistake.
I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. The law says, the judge will say, but based on this law and this section and this rule book, it says, you break, this is your punishment.
So therefore, I sentence you to nine years imprisonment. Because the law doesn't know what mercy is. You break the law, the law breaks you.
On the other hand, love, how can love see someone hurting and does nothing? As a parent, you love your children, you adore them, you'll do anything for them. When you see your son or your daughter suffering and since you love them the most, are you gonna be happy seeing your child suffering? Are you gonna be comfortable seeing your son lost, your daughter distant from you, from God, from everything? Destroying their own life with their own hands, are you gonna be happy? Impossible. Because love only knows one thing, it's to love.
And when you love, you cannot hurt. You will accept the suffering on yourself, but not on your own child. This is love.
You will accept that suffering on your own self, but not seeing your own child suffering. This is true love. So love and justice, impossible to meet.
So I said, God, is there contradiction in God? Meaning, his love is greater than his justice, his justice or greater than his love. If any of these attributes of God are greater than the other, there is contradiction in God. And since there is contradiction in God, God is changing his mind.
I cannot trust, follow, worship a God that changes his mind all the time. It's very dangerous to follow such a God. I need to have, I need to believe in a God that his word is forever.
His promise is eternal. Whatever he says, he will never go back on his word. I want this kind of a God to worship and follow.
So when God can never change, what is he gonna do now? His son Adam broke his word. The justice of God is crying out, you must die, Adam. And if that justice is fulfilled, Adam is gonna go to eternal death.
Totally separated from God forever and ever and ever. But the love of God, on the other hand, is crying out and saying, Adam is my son. I cannot see my son being lost forever without doing anything about it.
I'll get up and I will run like crazy to save my son. Because I'm his daddy. And daddy is all love for his child.
So Adam broke God's word. God said, Adam, I warned you before. If you eat from this tree, surely you shall die.
What did he say to him? His word. What is his word? The scroll. What is the scroll? The Holy Bible.
What is the Holy Bible? The word of God, which is law, justice. So now justice must be fulfilled. Adam ate, Adam died.
But God is love. I'm his dad. I can't let him just disappear like that.
The only way to do it is to bring his mercy. His mercy is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. That's where the cross comes into play.
God cannot just say a word from heaven, I forgive you and it's done. If he does that, he broke, he has broken his justice. And since God can never change, he cannot allow for his justice to be broken because he is the perfect holy God.
And to bring, to let Adam go to hell, he was going to break his love. Because Adam would have said to God, if you say that you created me on the basis of love, well, where was your love when I went to hell? What has your love done for me? So if Adam is gone to hell, God broke his love. If Adam is brought back and saved and forgiven just from heaven, God broke his justice.
God is stuck. I can't let go of my justice, neither I can let go of my love. My love calls him back, my justice sentenced him to eternal death.
So I need to do something about it. I'm going to bring my mercy. Mercy, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, hanging on the cross on Calvary, Golgotha.
Mercy. Now, today it's verse 1. Yeah, definitely it's verse 1. Now, please pay attention. Your Christianity is not just a book I read.
It's not just a dress I put on. It's not just a cross I hang around my neck. It's not about just going to church.
It's not about singing for the Lord and saying, hallelujah, hallelujah, Jesus is here. Get a life. Christianity is a life that must be lived every minute, second of your entire life on earth.
You need to live it. It's not a theater, an act on a stage. You act and it's the time done, you go.
No, you need to live Christ all the time, everywhere at the same way. You need to behave the way in the church, the same in the street. You need to love the Lord here and out in the street.
You need to love the Lord in good times and in bad times. You need to love Jesus Christ always. Always, my beloved, always, always.
Mercy. What is mercy? Mercy can only be made possible, can only exist, can only exist and be made possible when it is given to someone who has hurt you so badly. Mercy cannot exist in any other category.
Mercy can only exist when you show love to someone who has been nothing but a pain in your life. If you show love to someone that loves you, that is not mercy. If you show goodness to someone who is good to you, that is not mercy.
But if you show goodness and give love to someone who has nothing but stabbed you in the back, hurt you so badly and you're still loving them and you're still praying for them, now you are a merciful person. Because mercy is only existent and is only made possible when you give something good to someone who is absolute enemy to you and against you and has given you nothing but grief, pain and sorrow. When you do that, that is mercy.
God came to Adam and we are all Adam. We broke His word. We went against His will and His wish.
We did everything under the sun that was against Him. We became His enemy. We became traitors of His love, traitors of His word.
We sold Him out for peanuts. And after doing every evil thing under the sun against God, God still came and said, you know what, I'm going to send you My son. My son will suffer on your behalf.
My son will be nailed on the cross on your behalf. My son will take your sins and put it on his head and he will nail it on the cross and with his precious blood will wash away all of your sins. Why? Because I love you and the only way to save you, I had to give you My mercy.
I gave My mercy to unworthy sinner like me. Jesus died for someone filthy like me. God showed His love for the undeserved.
Jesus Christ is the only way of any human being salvation. Whether you're a Christian or not, Jesus Christ is the only way. If anyone tells you that all the people and all the religions in the world, they worship God, but each one to their own way, that is a false statement and it's a lie.
Not everyone worships the same God, impossible. You know why? I'm not judging, please understand. God, what did He say? He can never change.
God is perfect. God is holy. So when God speaks, His word is eternal.
His word cannot be contradictive. One thing here, another thing over there. His word is one and one only.
So when God speaks in the Bible, He cannot be the same God that speaks in the Quran or in Buddhism or in Hinduism. It is impossible. Because all the religions in the world are contradictive to what Christianity is.
I'm not judging, it's a fact. Read about Islam, read about Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, nothing to do with Christianity. Because the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, is God Himself, was revealed in the flesh.
He suffered, He was crucified in the days of Pontius Pilate. He was buried and on the third day rose from the dead and ascended and sat at the right hand of His Father. This is the faith and the heart of the Christian faith.
If you do not believe in the same way, you're definitely not worshiping the same God, impossible. So what do we need to do? We need to pray for everyone. We love everyone, but when it comes to speaking about Jesus Christ, there is no compromising.
I've got to state what the truth is. In the truth, there is no hypocrisy. In the truth, there is no, maybe, let me twist this one a little bit.
You know what, I don't want to hurt your feelings, so I'm going to try and be as soft as possible. No, hey, it's about your salvation, my dear friend. Do you want me to paint it for you? No, you've got to come and say, you're a sinner, brother.
And if you don't confess your sins, you're in trouble. And Jesus is the only one. Jesus is the only one.
Jesus is the only one. You know what, when you go out first, the first time, it's amazing experience. For the first time ever, I am out of this cage called home, where my dad and my mother were acting like gorillas.
They did not let me breathe for myself. They were suffocating me. I was in prison.
I wanted to go out. They said, where? I wanted to meet someone. Who? I wanted to go and buy something.
What time are you coming back? If you are not home by 10 p.m, you're in trouble, young man. You'll be grounded for a week. I'll take away your laptop and no more Facebook, no more Instagram, no more technology.
But mom, dad, technology is beautiful. Technology is attractive. And then the first time I spent an hour, not bad.
And I said, I'm going to be in control. That hour became a day. And the day became a week and a month.
And then I got glued on technology. It's attractive like the woman's hair. It's beautiful as the man's face.
But the result of it is the teeth of a lion. It will destroy your life if you glue yourself on it. You'll become addicted.
It will destroy you. Be careful. Technology, if you do not know how to use it, it will come back and haunt you.
Like it has with many millions of people, whether young or old. It's already 7.24. I haven't even come to our topic. Verse 9, it's our topic this evening.
And they had, who is they? The locusts. St. John the Beloved is still describing what the locusts are like. They look like.
And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron. They had breastplates like the breastplates of iron. Technology is attractive like woman's hair.
It's beautiful like the face of man. But the breastplate of this technology is like a breastplate of iron. Meaning, in the golden days, when they used to put on this breastplate, it was to protect them from the arrows of the enemy.
Because it's made out of iron, the arrow would not penetrate through this breastplate, i.e. you are saved from being killed. However, the arrow can penetrate a lion itself. You can kill a lion with an arrow.
But you cannot penetrate a breastplate of iron. The enemy is behind this technology. The enemy is behind this technology.
Look how deviant Satan is. He says, as humans, when you accept Jesus Christ of Nazareth as Lord and God over your life, you can step on me by the power of Jesus that dwells in you. You can overcome Satan in the name of Jesus Christ.
But you who have Jesus Christ in you, if you glue yourself to this technology that is beautiful as the man's face, that is attractive as a woman's hair, if you glue yourself to it, this will destroy your life. It has become more powerful than Satan himself. You can overcome the lion, which is Satan.
But you can't overcome technology if you think you are strong enough to control yourself and be reasonable and sensible with it. You see, everything begins with a little thing. There is always the first step to everything.
Especially I am sending this message to every human being and more so the younger generation, our beloved sons and daughters, but even those who are parents and grandparents. But more so I'm talking to the young boys and girls, my sons and daughters. I beg you, I beg you.
You're a teenager. You are in your 20s, in your 30s, whatever age bracket you're in. And even to those who are parents and grandparents.
But more so the younger ones. Why? Because you go to any young men and women. I love you guys.
Don't get me wrong. You say to them, I don't want you to go out my son, my daughter. Don't go out.
I am worried about you. Ah, please mom, dad, don't worry. I know what I'm doing.
I can manage. I can control every situation. Don't worry.
No matter how much they tempt me, I can control it. If they give me a scotch on the rock, I'll refuse it. If they give me the white powder in the bag, I'll reject it.
If they give me anything against the Lord Jesus, I'll step on it. Mom, all I'm going to drink is an orange juice. The first time you went out with your friends, so-called friends.
And I want someone to come along and define what friend is. The first time you went out, it's beautiful. The face of a man.
It's attractive. Hair of a woman. I went out to the city.
Yippee. Today, I am born for the first time. I thought I was living when I was at home with mom and dad, those old fashioned stubborn parents.
When I went out with me mates, right? And we put the Sabbufa Habibi in the backseat and went, And we went downtown. Man, the lights of the streets and the lights of people, boys and girls walking downtown, bro. What's up? So when I went downtown and I saw all these colors, they are beautiful like the face of man.
And they are attractive like the hair of a woman. But the end result of them, if you continue in that path, are the teeth of a lion. They will devour you and they will smash you to pieces.
So I went out the first time. They offered me alcohol. I said, No.
I'm still 16, mate. I just finished drinking milk at home. So seven up will do.
The second time you went out, they offered you another drink. No, thank you. And then you went home and he said, You see, mom, I controlled myself.
I can manage. Relax. You continue walking with those so-called friends.
You're not only going to start drinking alcohol, but you will be a master at it. You're not only going to take the white powder, you will start giving it to others and you're going to master this profession. It's attractive.
It's beautiful. But the end result is a lion's teeth. It will destroy you, my child.
It will destroy you. Internet. At first I sat there for an hour.
The hour became two. And the two became four. And the four became eight.
And the eight became 16. And speaking of 16, I'll tell you this true story which I had encountered. One day, I got a phone call from this man.
He said, Please come to the rescue. The house is falling apart. The wife started sitting on Facebook or whatever it was.
At the beginning, it was just normal. Half an hour, one hour max. The wife would clean, would cook, would prepare everything.
The husband working hard, coming back home, expecting the wife having everything ready because she was not working. He was the only sole provider for the house. And he was doing long hours.
Then at the beginning, everything was fine. No problem. Here is your internet.
Here is your Wi-Fi. I'm going to upgrade it. I'm going to make it more powerful.
You can download, offload, whatever you want to load. Right? So after one week, one month, two months, three months, the hour became two, four. It got to 16 hours with no break.
I thought he was joking. You know, sometimes, you know, like when you are so hurt, when you talk, you sort of exaggerate in your talking just to express the anger or the frustration and the pain that you're going through. I thought he was exaggerating.
Like in other words, he meant she spends a lot of time on the computer with no breaks. Later on, after going, I went to their place. I sat with them and after talking with them, I realized it was literally 16 hours.
16 hours doing what, my darling? I'm defending the faith of Christianity against those who do not believe in Jesus Christ. I said, and who told you to do that? Did Jesus come and say, do that, my daughter? Did the Lord Jesus say, ignore your home, ignore your husband, ignore your family, and just focus on me? And who gave you the family in the first place? If you ignore your husband, you're ignoring Christ. You're ignoring Christ.
16 hours became an addiction. It was this close of going through divorce once and for all. We thanked the Lord.
We managed to stop it. I said, this moment, that plug over there is taken out of that PowerPoint. No more Facebook.
You stop it. They came back to their senses. It started with half an hour and it felt good.
It felt very attractive. Ended up with 16 hours. And it's like that.
Started with the first cigarette, ended up with a packet. And jumped from the cigarette to drugs, to alcohol, to gambling, to women, to men, to everything. And then I ended up in the street.
And then I ended up in prison. And I ended up being killed. Because the teeth are the teeth of a lion.
If you glue yourself to technology, technology will destroy you. You can kill a lion with an arrow. But you cannot penetrate a breastplate of an iron.
You cannot penetrate it with an arrow. So Satan gave you this technology. He says, I'm gonna win over you with the technology I gave you.
Because I have the key to the bottomless pit to your way of thinking. I entered your way of thinking. And I gave you all these ideas to do.
And you went with it. And you built a great technology. And when you build it, you said, wow, look at me as a human.
What kind of an achievement is this amazing, it's beautiful face of a man. It is attractive hair of a woman. But that technology which human created, the very technology will come back and destroy them.
Will destroy them. That was not a sign of killing someone. I was just saying it's hot.
I know it's my presence, but it doesn't matter. The aircon is, yeah. So technology, my beloved.
And this is one of the points when we made mention of during lockdowns at its infancy stage. And some people misunderstood what we said. Where we said that this so-called jab is not the mark of the beast.
Not that it's not, but if you are talking about the mark of the beast, the mark of the beast has been imposed on humanity long time ago, since mid 20th century. Technology has brainwashed millions and billions of people. Mark of the beast is not just an injection, please.
Mark of the beast is a governmental system that controls every aspect of life. The jab does not control every aspect of life. And that's Revelation 13.
We'll get to it. So, but since I've mentioned this, I'm going to say this. So you don't misunderstand me.
If anybody comes, I don't care who they are. With all love and respect, I am not angry, okay? I love you. And I'm praying for you because you have no idea on the other side, what is awaiting you if you do not repent and ask Jesus Christ's mercy.
You have no idea. If anybody comes and says, this so-called vaccine was good and it's still good, is a liar. Is a what? L-I-A-R, lawyer, is a liar.
Like Dr. Vladimir Zelinko. I don't know. Did he pass away? May God rest his soul in peace.
Even though he was a Jew, a non-believer in Jesus Christ, but he was a good man. He was a man that seeked genuineness, truth, and he spoke the truth. He said, why would I want to take a jab that is being created, that is being, you know, commercialized and pushed forth by someone that said the world's population must be reduced.
The one and only. BG, Billy Boy. He's coming in the open and he's saying the world's population must be reduced.
Therefore, we must jab seven billion people. And then someone comes along and says, this is from God. And every time, you know why I am upset? The church is too weak.
That's what I'm upset about. The church is too weak. For a church leader, I'm not judging.
I will kiss every church leader's feet. Please don't get me wrong. But for a church leader to come and support this evil agenda.
Now that I cannot fathom. I'm still confused. I'm still confused.
It would have been a lot easier and better for the church leaders, at least to be quiet and say nothing. If you don't want to mention anything, not so that you don't jeopardize your position and your whatever, then go quiet. But for you to come and encourage your followers, encourage your faithful and say, go ahead.
It's OK. Under what Jesus is the protector. Excuse me.
Really? Did you just find out that Jesus is the protector? You must be a genius. Jesus is the protector, whether you say it or not, my dear friend. And you shouldn't even mention that because if you haven't found out that Jesus is the protector by now, forget about finding out because it's too late now.
Jesus is the protector. So go and jab yourself. And please don't get me wrong.
Those who were forced to be jabbed and those who chose to be jabbed. That's fine. It's your choice.
But I will always say this. There is no such thing as this being a vaccine. It was a plot and was an evil agenda, period, because it came from evil doers.
It came from people rejected the seal of God to be placed on their forehead. They followed Satan, period. What has been happening in the world is nothing short of evilness, satanic.
Wake up people and smell the roses. We are living in the end of times. Enough of everything is beautiful.
Everything is beautiful when Jesus Christ is the crown of your head. Regardless what the world is going through, don't worry about the world. But if you do not have Jesus Christ as your Lord, as your God, the world is nothing but chasing Satan and doing what Satan wants.
Climate change, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense. When you have an encounter with Jesus Christ, don't worry about the ozone layer. Don't worry about nothing going.
The temperature is going up or the temperature is coming down. Please, please. Jesus Christ, my beloved, will blow any mind away with his awesomeness, with his beauty, with his perfection, with his power, with his might.
He is the creator. I don't care what biologist comes along and a scientist comes along and says that we came from Mother Nature and the apes are our forefathers. Nonsense.
They're teaching you nonsense. What apes? What Big Bang? What Mother Nature created us? Don't ever be strong when you face technology, when you face the world's temptations. Don't ever say, I can control myself.
I can overcome it. I can manage it. I can go out and sit with 10 beautiful girls and I can control myself.
Sorry, you cannot. I can sit in a club with all kinds of drinks on the table and I can still stop myself from drinking them. Sorry, you cannot.
I can go to the club and enter the casino and I can look at all the poker machines and I will touch none of them. Sorry, you cannot. If you continue going to such places, Satan will overcome you because he has the key to the bottomless pit.
He has the key to your intellectual capacity. He will enter it and he'll drop a couple of poison drops in your head. And before you know it, you've gone with the wind.
You're gone. You want to be saved? You want to make sure you are in good health and in good spirit? Come to the Lord Jesus, please. If there is a time, humanity needs God is now more than ever.
And this God is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, period. There is no Krishna. There is no Buddha.
There is no Muhammad. There is no nothing. And I'm saying it with love and respect.
I've been to the other side. There's no such thing as Krishna, Buddha, Muhammad. No, it's fake.
Fake stories. I only met Jesus. When you meet Jesus, don't worry about climate change.
Don't worry about nothing. Viruses. What viruses? The Lord Jesus will protect you when you speak the truth.
Not when you support a lie. Sorry, he will not protect you. Jesus cannot protect liars.
And will not. Jesus wants people that stand and speak the truth. With love and respect, but no hypocrisy.
What am I going to get kicked out of the church? So be it. There is a price tag to everything. You need to have a principle in life.
And you need to stick by it. You can't swing right, left, here, there and everywhere. You can't.
You cannot swing. This locus, technology, lusts has a breastplate of an iron. You cannot penetrate it.
Don't stand before it and say, I can control it. I can overcome it. Computer can't overcome me.
I will overcome it. You cannot. You cannot penetrate this plate.
You will be addicted to it before you know it. And then what? Now, and they had breastplates like breastplates of iron. And the sound of their wings.
These are locusts. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. What is he saying? The sound of their wings was the sound of many chariots running into battle.
Meaning that this technology, all of this is going to spread throughout the globe extremely rapidly. The wings are like chariots going ready to go into battle. Wings so powerful.
And when you have powerful wings, you're going to fly high and fast. This technology is going to explode and engulf the whole world before we blink our eyes. And hasn't technology done so? I remember when I came to Australia in the 80s, 1980s, to be more precise, 1985.
A piece of information for you. I was not born here, but I came when I was a young little boy. Teenager, right? So in the 1980s, this nonsense was not made yet.
iPhone. It was the good old telephone from Australia. You know, the dial, the good old one with the big long cable that you could have taken it anywhere into the room.
So you cannot see no one. There is no FaceTime. There is no WhatsApp.
What's up, brother? There is no Viber. There is no rumble dumble, gumble mumble. None of that.
It was a simple life. If you wanted to see someone's face, you had to go to their home, to their workplace. You had to go in person.
So beautiful. This is natural health for a human being. It's natural.
We were created by God to be social beings. We were never intended to be alone. God said to Adam, it is not good for you to be alone, Adam.
So we need to interact with one another. I wanted to visit a family member. I had to go in person.
I wanted to visit a friend, a cousin. I had to go in person interaction with one another. Nowadays, we live under one roof, but we don't see each other.
Everyone is busy. Hi, mom. Hi, dad.
How are you? Good. Okay. Good night.
Love you. He's just next door, next room. The day Apple, Android, Galaxy, Samsung, the day they came out, humanity was destroyed.
Believe me. Humanity was destroyed. We changed without realizing it.
We changed without realizing it. You see, now I meet someone. It is not like before.
Hi, how are you? Good. Thanks. Bye.
Before, hello, especially Middle Eastern, you know, hello, Habibi. You hug them. You break every bone in them.
You give them a kiss. You take half of their cheek out. Gone, gone, my beloved, gone.
We became so cold because of this. We became so fast, so quick. We are on the go, running all the time.
We became too busy. Why? Because everyone can reach me with a press of a button. Anywhere, anytime.
And not only that, we started gossiping about one another. We started cheating on one another. We started spying on one another.
Hello. Innocence, gone with the wind. Human innocence, gone.
