You Are Exactly Where God Wants You

Nobody dies and comes back from the dead on their own. Only one did it, Jesus of Nazareth. He died and He rose from the dead with His own powers, by Himself.

So the ultimate enemy is death. The ultimate enemy to every human being is death, my beloved. Jesus Christ, His tomb is empty.

He who has the Lord, their tomb will be empty as well. There is no death to those who have Christ as their Lord and Savior. For in Christ there is only one thing, life.

And eternal one too, never ending. Moses saved the Israelites from Pharaoh. And Christ, the true Moses, saved humanity from Satan.

You want to be delivered from the snares of the enemy, from the hands of Satan, you better make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. Verse 4, these are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. Now here, it's kind of a, not a very clear verse.

You'll say, what do you mean, they were not defiled with women? Well, let me assure you, the verse is not talking about women, as in literal women. Yes, okay, it's not talking about women. But here it's saying, they were not defiled with women, meaning, they were not defiled with their, with false gods.

With false gods. Every human being has one or more false gods, which they have created for themselves. Maybe to someone a false god is pride.

Maybe to someone a false god is money. Maybe another one false god is envy, jealousy, hatred, anger. There are so many false gods.

Saint Peter says, there are some people, their gods is their own tummy. And tummy is not only food. But let me ask you this.

Even when it comes to the literal sense of food. We stand in the kitchen for hours on end, preparing the meal for the family. And we're happy to do that.

We come to church for an hour, and then we say, that's it, I've had enough. You can't stand for an hour before the Lord, but you stand before your kitchen for hours on end. Then your God has become that tummy.

So who is your God? Is it Christ? Or is it all these false gods? Well these 144,000, they were not defiled with women. Meaning, they did not follow false gods. They did not worship false gods.

Because it says that, for they are virgins. They remained loyal. They remained loyal to the Lord Jesus.

It is not taken in the literal sense, but in the spiritual sense. So they did not create false gods and worship them. But they remained virgins.

And a virgin belongs to no false gods. Because the virgin belongs to only one who is the true divine God. His name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

And these are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. There you go. So who are the virgins? Those who follow the Lamb of God wherever He goes.

And who are the defiled with women? Those who follow the lusts and the pleasures and the treasures of the world. People fight over materialistic things. We've made those materialistic things our false gods.

If you don't buy me a 50,000 diamond ring for my engagement, I will not end up marrying you. But my darling, my wage is only $800 a week. I can't afford a 50,000 diamond ring.

But I can assure you, my love for you is more than a diamond ring. Which one are you going to choose, my child? The 50,000 material diamond ring? Or that love which surpasses all prices? What are you going to do with a Mercedes Benz and a mansion but a life of hell? I'd rather live at the gutter but live in love, respect, harmony, sharing and caring. What is the mansion going to do? What is that expensive car going to do? What is that expensive ring going to do? It is the heart that matters, my child, not materialistic things.

Because they remained virgins. They followed the Lamb wherever He went. They didn't follow the world.

They didn't follow the temptations of the world. They didn't follow their own heart's desires. But they followed the desire of God.

Wherever the Lord wants me, I chose to be there. I want to remain a virgin. I do not want to be defiled by the women who are the false gods of this world.

These were redeemed from among men, being first fruits to God and to the Lamb. First fruits. What are the first fruits? First born.

You see, in the Old Testament, when the Lamb gave fruits, the very first harvest was given to the house of the Lord. The first fruits. The Lord is saying to all of us, Are you going to give me your first fruits? Or are you going to leave me till the end? An example of a first fruit.

When you open your eyes in the morning, Are you saying thank you Lord first, before anyone else? Are you mentioning the Lord? Are you remembering the Lord first? Or are you remembering every single one and everything, and the last one, if lucky, is the Lord? Give your first fruits to the Lord. Every time you wake up my child, the moment you open your eyes, Jesus I love you man. Now this man is like our way of talking, your bro.

Jesus I love you. Thank you Lord for another day. Because this day is a new life, is a new beginning.

It's another chance given to me to fix what I couldn't fix yesterday. Whatever is gone is dead. Don't dwell on the past.

Don't live the past. You are deceiving yourself. You are living a lie, because the past is gone, dead, never come back.

But thank the Lord, because it was the mercy of God. It was the grace of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who is God revealed in the flesh, that gave you another day. It is his grace that gave you another chance, to fix what you couldn't fix yesterday.

Take this day, a new beginning, a new life given to me. I am a new creation on this day. Therefore do not waste this new day, by dwelling on the past, crying for yourself, because I've done this and I've done this, and I should have known better.

Move on. Stop living the past. Move on.

Move on. Yes. We need to move on.

We need to move on. One day we will talk to you about time. Time is one of the most precious gifts, ever given by God to humanity.

Time. So precious. So precious, so priceless.

Make the most of it. Use time as the wise merchant, and make it profitable for you. Make it profitable, my beloved.

Give the first fruits to the Lord Jesus. I mentioned this true story a while back. I'll mention it again.

This priest went to meet this man. This man happened to be a multi-billionaire, not millionaire, a billionaire. Extremely rich.

He said, I went to his palace, and we were sitting outside having a cup of tea. And this man, who happens also to be a father, he was overwhelmed with joy and happiness. He could not stop smiling, laughing.

He was over the moon, so happy. It made the priest curious to ask the question. He said, so and so, please allow me to ask you this question.

He said, what is it? He said, I couldn't really withstand the amount of joy I could see being expressed on your face. Can you tell me what is the reason behind all this joy and happiness? He said, Father, it's the shirt I'm wearing. He said, I looked at the shirt, the best maybe would have cost a hundred bucks, hundred dollars.

He said, this man is a multi-billionaire. He could have endless shirts made out of gold. It was just an ordinary shirt anyone can afford to buy.

He said, what do you mean the shirt? He said, Father, you don't understand. You don't understand. My son, my son, Father, my son, he went and worked.

He found a job. And the first pay he received, he bought his dad a shirt with that pay. He said, Father, this shirt to me is more precious than all the wealth I have, because my son remembered his dad first.

He said, Firstborn, I will treasure this shirt till the day I die. The most expensive thing this dad has, a shirt bought by his son. It is not the shirt, it's the thought.

The thought that matters. Don't buy me a diamond ring and give me hell. I don't want a diamond ring.

I want you. Your heart. I want your love.

This is the Lord. The Lord says, don't come and say, I've donated a million dollars in your treasury house. Don't come and say, Lord, I've built a church for you worth millions of dollars.

Don't come and say to me, I've done this, I've preached, and I've brought the whole world to you. Don't say that to me, because all of this I've done it, not you. I'm a piece of dust.

It is not me speaking. It's the Lord through His Holy Spirit. You need to believe this.

Don't ever say we went and listened to this bishop. This bishop is a nothing. I am today, tomorrow I'm gone with the wind.

I am a piece of dust, the weakest of all weaks. It is the Lord that has called you by your name. It is the Lord that has brought you here today.

There is no luck coincidence in the index of Christianity. These two words, plug them from your life. Plug them from your head.

Plug them from your thought. Don't ever, as a Christian, say this is luck or this is a coincidence. You are offending your Lord and God, Jesus Christ.

For luck and coincidence do not exist when we worship the omnipresent, the omniscient God who knows everything, who is present everywhere at the same time. Nothing is hidden from the Lord. Nothing is coincidental.

Nothing is luck. It was planned. Planned.

So you being here, planned by the Lord, approved by the Lord, stamp sealed by the Lord. And for you to be here, since the Lord allowed it, it is saying one thing and one thing only to all of you. The Lord still loves you and He still wants you.

Simple. He still loves you. And He still wants you.

Whoever was the reason to bring you here to the church, it was the Lord. Not my mom, not my dad. The Lord spoke through them all.

But it was the Lord. It was the Lord. So you should be happy.

The Lord loves me. That's why He brought me to His house, His holy house, the church. No one can escape the wisdom and the knowledge of God.

He is all knowledge. Everything is vividly clear right before His eyes, even if we do things in the secret. Nothing is secret to God.

So therefore, we offended the infinite God. Our sin, our debt is greater than everything that is finite. The only one that can pay the infinite debt is the infinite being and that is God.

That's why God had to become a man on earth to save us forever. It's an infinite debt. Only the infinite God can wash it away, pay the price.

So now, it says, and no one, neither in heaven, angels, nor on earth, men, nor under the earth, below the human race is Satan and his foul spirits because the sin is greater than all of them. John the Beloved in verse 4 says, So I wept much. He cried like a baby because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll or to look at it.

But one of the elders said to me, Do not weep. Behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals. When I heard the voice saying, No one is worthy, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor beneath it, to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals, he said, I fell on the ground and I wept so much because I said, We are definitely dead.

Why? For as long as the scroll remains sealed, we are judged. The day that comes, that someone comes along and opens the scroll, whoever believes in that someone who was able to open the scroll, you will escape the judgment of God. You will not be judged, meaning you will live forever.

So he said, I fell on my face and I wept much because I said, We are all going to perish now. If no one is worthy to open it, then who is? And then he said, One of the elders, the elders, the 24 elders that sat around the throne. Remember, we spoke about this in chapter 1 of Genesis.

And we are going to come later on in this chapter about the 24 elders. So he said, One of the elders came to me. And what did he say? But one of the elders said to me, Do not weep.

Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals. One is worthy, the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

He is the Root of David. Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the only one that is worthy to open the scroll and loose its seven seals. Jesus Christ.

Wow! Now, John the Beloved, where is he seeing this in heaven? Remember this. Now this is an answer to Jehovah's witnesses that say Jehovah is greater than Jesus Christ. Well, John the Beloved said that in heaven there is only one worthy to open the scroll.

Now the scroll is the word of God. The word of God is the judgment of God to the entire human race. Who is the judge? Only God.

There is no one else but Him. Only God qualifies to judge. And John the Beloved saw this in heaven.

And he said, there is only one worthy to open the scroll. And that is the Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David. Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Now, if Jesus Christ of Nazareth, all glory to His Holy Name, is the only one worthy to open the scroll in heaven, then where is Jehovah? Where is God? If God is greater than Jesus and there is only Jesus that is worthy, then isn't Jehovah worthy? If Jehovah was greater than Jesus Christ, wouldn't He be the worthy one, not Jesus? But here it says, it is Jesus only. What does that tell you? And me, Christ, is Jehovah. He is God, the Almighty, revealed in the flesh, the Creator of everyone, everything that is visible and invisible.

Amen? Now behold, John the Beloved, do not weep, and do not be so hopeless. I just want to stand for a moment and contemplate on this. How many times in our life on earth, how many times with our journey in this wilderness of this world, how many times have we fell on the ground and said, I am dead.

I am finished. It is all over. No one can help me.

No one can come to my rescue. You know what? It's a dead end. It is finished.

I can't do it. No one can. You know, the doctor said it's over.

The lawyer said it's finished. The whole world have shut their door in my face and I am at a dead end. I have given up and I'm crying for myself because I didn't want to get to this moment in my life where I hate my own self.

I am so disappointed with me. I am so disappointed with everyone and everything and life in general. I've given up and I cried.

The voice, an elder came and said, Why are you crying? Behold, there is one that can come to your rescue. When we say it is impossible, one and one only can say, what is impossible to man is possible to God for I am God revealed in the flesh and my name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. How dare you say it is over when I am your Lord.

How dare you say it is finished when I am the I am, the Alpha and the Omega. How could you say I am dead when I raised the dead from the grave with one word. Lazarus, come forth.

He was rotted in the grave for four days yet Jesus raised him to fullness and perfection with one word. It is never too late. For as long as Christ lives, I live.

You better have faith. Don't ever give up. Don't ever.

He said, but I know you are only human. You are a piece of dust. You are so weak.

I know when you encounter an obstacle in life, you struggle. And it is so easy for all of us to give up and to give in to it. And who came to John's rescue? Not an angel, an elder.

Now why? Why wouldn't an angel come to the rescue? No, an elder came. An elder meaning once upon a time this elder was a human being like me and you. An angel has no body.

An angel has no soul. Angels are only spirits. Therefore angels do not share our feelings and emotions.

Angels do not understand what tears are and pains are. But an elder who lived on earth shares everything that you and I share. An elder out of the 24.

Who are the 24 elders? The church of Christ both of the Old and the New Testament. The Lord Jesus has two branches to His beloved church. The Old Testament church made out of the 12 tribes of Israel.

And the New Testament church made out of the 12 apostles. 12 of the Old Testament and 12 of the New Testament. 12 and 12, 24.

The 24 elders is the church of Christ both Old and New Testament. And He is the only good shepherd to both branches. So, this elder since he is one of the 24 so he is of the Old Testament and the New Testament.

The Old Testament prophets the New Testament, the Gospels the epistles of Saint Paul and the book of Acts and the Catholicons the epistles of Saint Peter John and James and Jude all these are this elder. When you go to the Old Testament what are the prophets of the Old Testament saying? They are saying hope in Christ for no matter what happens we are awaiting for the coming of the Messiah. When the Messiah comes all of those who have slept on the hope of resurrection when Christ comes He will raise us all from the dead.

So, prophets of the Old Testament give you hope that salvation is coming your way even if all the doors are shut in your face Christ is the only one that is worthy to open the scroll and loose its seven seals. Nothing stands in the Lord's way. No matter how many doors Satan tries to shut Jesus will make you not open the door He will make you walk through the closed door.

That is Jesus baby. Jesus will not come and open the door. He will say, my son I don't need to open doors.

Just like I walked through closed doors and closed windows in that upper room I will give you that authority to walk through closed doors. So, the prophets of the Old Testament give you hope and the elder of the New Testament give you salvation redemption Christ is here now What are you worried about? There was this governor in Milano, Italy He was a very faithful Christian to the Lord Jesus and he was a governor of Milano Italy The people of Milano used to come to him and open up to him with their problems and troubles and issues of life So, he used to address them as much as he could One day, he said People always come to me with their burdens and their troubles and their issues You know what? Why are they coming to me? Here is what I am going to say to them So, he walks out and there was a lot of people waiting for him He said, my beloved people of Milano Since God became man, what is your problem? There is no problem Since God became man you don't have a problem anymore You know why? Because, for as long as God was only God it was a problem when you had a problem because you cannot go to this God and tell him your problem since you don't know him you can't get to him, you can't understand him you can't see him you can't, you can't, you can't Therefore, you are stuck with your problem But since God became man you can go and see him now and talk to him embrace him, hug him and tell him everything that is bothering you So, you don't have a problem since God became man This God who became man is the lion of the tribe of Judah and the root of David, his name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth So, this tribe of Judah this lion has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals Today, I'll be very generous with you guys, I'll let you go early I'll leave you with this I'll leave you with this Now, to those who are coming for the first time you probably have heard me saying this on YouTube but every time I say I'll leave you with this, everybody laughs because they know they will never hear the end of it I'll leave you with this and it never ends and I'll leave you with this and I'll leave you with this and after 10 hours, I'm still saying I'll leave you with this So, whenever you hear me say I'll leave you with this, get up and run away please, otherwise you'll be sleeping here tonight and I would love for you to stay in the church don't go anywhere, especially downtown brother, I'll kill you, my name is Ahmed We need to pray for Ahmed Now He is the lion of the tribe of Judah He is the root of David David is a king and by the way, the Israelite people till now the most venerated king of the entire Israelite history is David The flag of Israel has the star of David The flag of Israel now has the star of David, King David His tomb is actually in Mount Zion Now, Mount Zion is part of this mountain where once upon a time the Temple of Solomon was built upon Mount Zion is very, very holy place, especially to the Jewish people God willing, one day you go to Israel and visit Jerusalem, you'll know what I'm talking about, you'll visit Mount Zion, because we've been there and it's a magnificent place Israel is just stunning You may have a chance to go this year with us We'll be making an announcement soon And I looked So this lion of the tribe of Judah is worthy, verse 6 And I looked and behold, in the midst of the throne and in the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders stood a lamb as though it had been slain The elders said to John the Beloved Behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah the root of David is the one who is worthy, for he has prevailed and he is worthy to open the scroll and loose its seven seals So what did these elders say to John, the lion of the tribe of Judah He said, verse 6, and I looked John the Beloved, he said, and I looked and behold, in the midst of the throne, now who sits on the throne? God the Divine Christ, the King is sitting on the throne of the King, and God in His nature is King God in His nature is King, so and in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the 24 elders stood a lamb as though it had been slain The elder said to John, the lion of the tribe of Judah is worthy, he said, when I looked I saw a lamb, not a lion I saw a sheep but hang on John, which one is it, is it the lion or the lamb he said both he is the lion, and he is the lamb at the same time and this lamb was standing but he was slain, and to slain an animal, you kill it and when you kill it, the animal can't stand, so this lamb was killed but is standing, is alive living so who was the lamb that was slain, killed and yet lived, came back to life again, Jesus Christ of Nazareth he was slain on the cross on Calvary, he was put in the tomb, but on the third day he rose from the dead the lamb that was slain stood on its feet on the third day rose from the dead victorious, triumphant forever but the lion of Judah and I looked and I saw a lamb, not a lion now for the next ten hours I'd like to focus on this for any Christian, for any faithful for any human being that is seeking God the true God, Christ the King you need to have two things in you at the same time in order to be spiritually successful and in every aspect of life prosperous two things you need to be a lion and you need to be a lamb, at the same time not a lion at one stage and a lamb at another stage, no the lion and the lamb they walk together all the time at every single moment of life both of them have to be present now why is he the lion why is Jesus Christ here resembled by the lion, well we know the lion is the king of the jungle and Christ is the king of all kings, so symbolically speaking there is certain characteristics in an actual lion as an animal those characteristics are taken and given to Christ, so just like the lion is the king of the jungle Christ is the king of all kings now because he is the lion because when we read in verse 2 then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice we said this strong angel is Satan Satan is resembled in the epistle of Saint Peter as the roaring lion seeking those whom he can swallow and devour so Satan is also resembled as a lion but in which way he is resembled as a lion as the vicious killer Satan is so vicious he devours the prey and destroys that prey just like Satan is a lion that tries to kill humanity he needs to be met by another lion like him lions fight with lions, chicken can't fight with a lion you need a lion to withstand another lion, so Satan you're a lion Jesus he is the lion of the tribe of Judah, he came and he said I am the lion from the tribe of Judah and let me see Satan what kind of a lion you are when you face the lion of the tribe of Judah when Jesus came as the lion and he said to Satan come on let's fight Satan looked at Jesus as the lion from the tribe of Judah, Satan turned from a lion into a little mouse and ran away because when you face this lion Jesus there is no other lion that can roar anymore when Jesus shows you a touch a drop of his mightiness and power I feel sorry for those people who follow Satan I feel sorry for those people who acknowledge Satan I feel sorry for those people who fear Satan and be silent to the truth I feel sorry so the lion came to face Satan the lion and Satan became a mouse when he met the lion from the tribe of Judah now but I looked back and I saw a lamb the Lord Jesus in the gospel of St. Matthew chapter 5 in the gospel of Matthew chapter 5 the Lord Jesus says two things he said you are the salt of the earth and you are the light of the world in another place the Lord Jesus says be innocent as a dove and be wise as a serpent be innocent as a dove and be wise as a serpent you are the salt of the earth and you are the light of the world you are the lion and you are the lamb two parallel lines that can never meet but these two parallel lines if you have them in your life every single moment of your life you are a successful Christian you imitate your Christ I was going to say something the Holy Spirit will remind me later a lion the one that roars and shakes the whole earth a lamb the one that is so quiet no one hears the sound of it opposite see I told you the Holy Spirit will remind me as one of the church fathers said for every theology is stavrology and for every orthodoxy is paradoxy I'll say it again he said for every theology is stavrology and for every orthodoxy there is paradoxy every theology is stavrology stavros in greek means the cross stavros cross so every theology is the cross stavrology and every orthodoxy is paradoxy because when you read the entire gospels you read the entire bible they all focus and are centered around the cross christianity is about the cross you take the cross out there is no christianity you deny the cross you are not a christian christianity seizes because the cross is the center of the christian faith so every theology the study of the divine is stavrology is the cross and every orthodoxy true faith is paradoxy paradoxy means two parallel lines never meet God brought out of the grave life you can't use your logic you cannot use your head when you walk with God because when you use your head your head will lead you to logic logic says 1 plus 1 equals 2 God says 1 plus 1 equals 1 good luck using your head now paradoxy lion and lamb this is paradoxy two parallel lines never meet but they are perfect salt and light two parallel lines salt from the earth light from heaven opposite parallel lines innocent as a dove wise as a serpent parallel lines now why is he the lion and the lamb and why do we need to be the lion and the lamb the salt and the light the dove and the snake innocent as a dove wise as a snake don't be a snake but be wise as a snake now we come to the lion the Lord Jesus says to be a successful christian to be a true servant of Christ that brings people to me I Jesus Christ I want you to be the lion and the lamb at the same time I want you to be the lion when it comes to stand for the truth to fight for the truth and to stand firm in what you believe as your Jesus has taught you you be the lion and let the whole world rumble before your feet and tell the world this is what my Jesus says and this is what I will do as his servant you go against me you do whatever I will speak the truth and there is no compromise that's a lion don't be a chicken chickens don't enter God's kingdom only lions do so don't just stand at the pulpit and say hallelujah Jesus loves you Jesus wants you to be healthy get a life get a life yes get a life where was the lion that Christ put in you when all those evil things were happening where was the lion in you you became a chicken as a church leader did money turn you into a chicken where was the lion see we think Christianity is just a a passage we read and a gospel we preach or a song we sing or a shout we shout hallelujah Jesus is here I'm filled by the Holy Spirit somebody hold me you know what please I know it's very sad it's laughable but it's very sad Christianity is a life you need to live it every single moment it's not a time on the pulpit or on the stage or a guitar in your hand and you say Jesus is the lamb of God no it is a life you need to live Christ every single moment you need to be a warrior for the Lord not a singer not an actor a warrior a lion be a lion when it comes to the truth and speaking of the truth and be a lamb when it comes to the salvation of humanity sacrifice your life to bring one soul to Christ when it comes to saving a soul be the lamb don't ever let anyone out of the church even if that person that entered the church now came out of the brothel you embrace him you embrace him you are not here to judge you are here to save but without compromising the truth don't just embrace give him the truth but as a lamb but for the world I am not a lamb, I am a lion but for salvation of souls no, no, I will slain myself to save you my dear friend be a lion for the truth, be a lamb for saving souls be the salt of the earth and the light of the world Jesus is incredible man he talks so simplistically yet so much depth and wisdom that's why he is God it takes a wise man to speak simplistic things it takes a wise man to speak in a simplistic term be the salt of the earth and the light of the world wow, light comes from heaven, salt comes from earth the lord Jesus says you want to be a successful servant you want to be a true follower of your lord Jesus you better first live with me in heaven because if you don't live with me in heaven you can't make people taste me on earth you see the salt when you add it to the food you are cooking the salt dissolves in whatever you are cooking you don't see the salt any longer, but what happens once the food is cooked you taste the flavor of that salt in that food but you don't see the salt, why? because the salt dissolved in that food and was hidden in that entire food, in that meal, but when you ate you said wow this food tastes so beautiful that beautiful taste was that salt that gave it nice flavor you see Christ is living in you, the world do not see him the world do not see him, they see you but when you are living with Christ as the light in heaven, when you live with him you will give people the taste of Christ on earth, the salt but it takes dissolvement what is dissolvement? sacrifice, what is sacrifice? self-denial I no longer exist, but Christ who lives in me is the one who is my existence so when you speak to people, let people see Jesus, not you let people see the Lord, you become the salt, dissolve into Christ and let people taste Christ, not you, because when they taste me, I am nothing but bitter, but when they taste the Lord, they say no I am back to life be the salt, but you cannot make people taste Christ that is in you unless you live with him in heaven the light, the Lord Jesus entered the house of Lazarus, Mary and Martha the sisters of Lazarus, whom he raised from the dead after four days Mary and Martha were Lazarus sisters Mary came and sat at the feet of the Lord Martha was too busy in the kitchen chopping baby cooking, sizzling and then Martha was so busy trying to prepare a meal Jesus is in our house whoa, so she turns around and she sees Mary cares for nothing she is so quiet, humble sitting at the feet of the Lord not a whisper as if nothing is happening in the kitchen, world war 3 is happening in the kitchen, so Martha out of frustration at her sister turns to the Lord, Lord can you please tell her off rebuke my sister shame on her, doesn't she see her sister so much in trouble and so busy and she does not move a finger tell her to get up and help me thinking that the Lord is going to rebuke Mary, the Lord turns to Martha and says Martha, Martha Martha, Martha there is only one thing that is asked of anyone and your sister Mary chose that portion sitting at the feet Martha Martha the house is mine, not yours the house is mine but you know what Martha the house requires Mary and Martha at the same time two parallel lines but there is priorities here, Martha you cannot serve me in my house unless you first sit at my feet how can you serve in the master's house if you don't get to know the master first how can you know what I want of you to do in my house if you don't sit at my feet and listen to the teacher to the great teacher the one and only if you don't sit at my feet and I teach you what you need to do you can never be successful in my home you cannot serve me you need to get to know me to serve me, you need to be the light in order to be the salt, you need to live with me in heaven in order to bring heaven to earth and bring people to my heaven you can't live in darkness and expect people to see Christ in you impossible Christ is the light of the world need to move on innocent as a dove wise as a servant man innocence is loyalty wisdom is power innocence is loyalty wisdom is power now innocence alone is ignorance wisdom alone is evilness Satan is wise but not innocent therefore Satan is evil people are sinners people naturally speaking they are not evil they are sinners but when are they called evil doers when they do Satan deeds and love it when they do Satan deeds they love it then they are evil doers but those who sin and hate it they are sinners Christ came to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance Christ came for you all of us are sinners when you sin and you hate it Christ came exactly for you when you sin and you love it Satan is your portion you are an evil doer so now wisdom alone is evilness innocence alone is ignorance innocence and wisdom put together is the power of God what is the power of God the Holy Cross Saint Paul puts it beautifully he says the cross to the Greeks is ignorance to the Jews is a stumbling stone but to us the saved ones is the power of God why is it ignorance to the Greeks because he is speaking to the big heads Plato and Socrates the philosophers of the world big heads baby big calibers so you speak to a wise man and go and say to this great philosopher a man of wisdom say to him you know what I worship God he is going to say which God is the one you worship I am going to say the one who was nailed on the cross and died on the cross he is my God he is going to say what an ignorant man you are how can you worship a God that was nailed on the cross this is a very weak God that is ignorance and to the Jews is a stumbling stone because to the Jews the Messiah never dies and how dare you you say to me our Messiah was crucified crucifixion crucifixion is degradation humility at its lowest level and you are saying Messiah was you know brought to this low level impossible this is a stumbling stone for me but to me I Paul the saved one it is the power of God because the cross is the innocence of the dove and the wisdom as a snake and I have said this before and I will say it again why a dove a dove out of the entire birds of the sky out of the entire birds of the sky any other bird than a dove any other bird when they build a nest and have their own babies the moment they just sense not see they just sense there is danger coming straight away they pack up and leave and go and build a nest elsewhere they shift their path they shift their position their location the dove builds a nest lays those eggs and babies goes searching for food for the babies comes back the enemy has devoured some of her babies some are missing some are killed and left in the nest the dove sits in the nest and mourns like a human being the tears of the dove are exactly like a human like a human tears they mourn exactly like a human being the dove exactly same feeling she cries her heart is shattered she is devastated for the loss of her children but the dove never moves her nest elsewhere stays there brings more babies and continues the lord says I want you to be as innocent as the dove innocence is loyalty he is saying the lord you want to be a successful servant you want to be a true christian no matter how many times you get persecuted for the sake of your lord don't ever shift your way and move away from me don't ever change your position don't ever walk from the path that I put you in stand firm in there and be faithful to your lord because the lord will give you his glory in the end be like a dove don't ever shift your nest out of fear out of persecution and change your religion change your faith change your principles, ethics and values and morals in christianity don't be as wise as a serpent the serpent the moment it faces an enemy that realizes this enemy is more powerful than me the serpent does one thing curls that body of hers on that head covers the head the enemy devours the body chops the snake to pieces as long as the head is intact the snake cannot die the body is chopped to pieces after a little while the body will regrow again and the snake will go on its own life as if nothing has happened the day you can kill the snake is when you crush the head the lord says I gave you my word keep my word intact in your head don't let anyone brainwash you and take the truth out of here stay firm protect the head be wise be wise we protect the true faith we stand firm in the true way and we live with christ in heaven light we will make the world taste the sweetness of christ on earth salt and be like a lion roaring for the truth and be a lamb slain for the salvation of mankind bring people to christ and be the servant of everyone and I'll finish it off on this I didn't say I'll leave you with this see and in the midst of the throne and of the four creatures and in the midst of the elders stood a lamb as though it had been slain now why john the beloved or the holy spirit reveals through john the beloved that this lamb was in the midst of the throne why because the lamb is the humanity of christ the one who sits on the throne is the divinity of christ christ is perfect god king and perfect lamb priest christ is perfect god king and perfect lamb priest christ king divinity priest humanity his humanity was in the midst which is the lamb was in the midst of the throne meaning humanity was united completely and perfectly to divinity so divinity was revealed in fullness in this humanity called jesus of nazareth god was revealed in jesus in absolute perfection and completion that's what the midst of the throne here refers to the perfect unity and revelation of divinity and humanity that is the midst humanity united to divinity perfectly and completely and this lamb have having seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of god sent out into all the earth last time we said seven spirits god does not have seven spirits god has only one spirit the holy spirit is god and god is one spirit only but the seven spirits are the seven sacraments of the apostolic true church of christ where the holy spirit operates through these seven sacraments to bring salvation to the human race or to the christian world so these are the seven sacraments but the lord this lamb had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of of god sent out into all the earth he had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits seven spirits, seven sacraments baptism, priesthood body and blood of christ holy eucharist now the seven horns and seven eyes seven horns when you read in the holy bible about horns, it talks about authority, kingdoms kingdoms, so horns kingdoms, what is kingdom? that is authority, what is authority? power so seven horns is god power seven eyes and eye every time you see the word eye in the holy bible replace it with knowledge replace it with knowledge eye represents knowledge number seven we said is perfection completion, seven days a week it's a perfect cycle so christ in his knowledge eyes is perfect seven eyes, he is perfect in his knowledge and horn power, seven horns he is perfect in his power this lamb of god from the tribe of judah is perfect in his power and perfect in his knowledge power outside knowledge inside from outside no one can beat him and from inside no one can deceive him he is all knowledge you cannot bribe him, you cannot cheat on him, you cannot lie to him he knows everything and he knows you more than you so he is all knowledge from within and he is all power from without you cannot overcome him and you cannot lie to him he is perfect one thing you can do come to him come to him with a contrite heart and say lord i have sinned have mercy on me son of david have mercy on me confess your sins that's all you can do don't ever go and say lord i sinned but believe me lord it wasn't my fault it was that guy over there he will not hear you say lord i have sinned and it was my fault lord i said this and it was my doing it was my fault confess your sins don't blame no one, blame yourself then he will love you and he will say now you are talking since you spoke
