Episode 402 – 10k Worlds Podcast

[00:00:00] Welcome to the 10,000 Worlds podcast. My name is Luis Urrego and it’s a privilege and an honor to be here with you today. And that you able to join me today on this episode, number 402 of the podcast. We thank you for tuning in and thank you for taking some time out of your day to listen and tune in and to listen to the podcast.

[00:00:22] We really appreciate it and appreciate all the support that you all have been given, in the past few years and all of your prayers. And we just thank you for what the, this little ministry has come to. It’s nothing big or anything. We’re not trying to get numbers or anything of that sort. We’re just trying to put out content something that would help somebody to draw closer to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to be able to, add something else, another something,some more food for the soul, because rememberpodcast is about it is called the 10,000 Worlds podcast. And as

[00:01:00] I mentioned before, 10,000 worlds is what your soul is worth. In other words, it’s worth. There’s an unlimited value to your soul. And so if we can, if we don’t neglect our soul, if we do something about it, because out of the soul can only produce, it can only produce faith or doubt and that’s faith or doubt in the word of God.

[00:01:23] So when the word of God comes to you and you. Deny it, or you reject it, then that’s doubting the word and you receive the fruits of that. And if you accept the word, if you believe the word, whether you feel it, see it, touch it, smell it, hear it, but you believe it. Amen. Believe in that faith. That’s that sixth sense?

[00:01:49] That is what your soul. can produce and that’s up to you for you to decide that amen, because God has given each and every one of us free moral [00:02:00] agency for us to choose what direction we want to take in our life. So this is what this podcast is about. It’s about empowering you as about, trying to help you draw a little closer to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, and to feed those 10,000 worlds that are in.

[00:02:16] Amen. we appreciate you being here with us once again. And, I just wanna, out of the gate, want to say, I apologize for my last, for the last episode really came out very, Basey freaking if that’s a word, very. just had a lot of gain to it. what happened is that I’m trying out a different mic, right now to record these podcasts.

[00:02:39] And this is a Yeti mic that I’m using right now. I love it. really good Mike. and for the features that it has, the one that I’ve been using before is a, Sam Samson, CEO three, you. condenser mic USB condenser, Mike, and it’s wonderful. I love it as well, but this,this Yeti mic it’s made by a company called [00:03:00] blue and they have produced this mic and, a few years back and I’m just now getting around the test and it was given to me.

[00:03:08] And,tests I’ve been testing, I’ve tested it from the last episode and. I love it. I love the way it sounds, but I was so used to, being so close to my previous mic that I’ve used before. I would get up close to it, to talk a little bit,to talk and when I would,when I was doing the same thing with this one, it was just sounded very base Basey, very gay.

[00:03:33] They had a lot of gains. I do apologize if the last episode that we produced just had a lot of gain, a lot of bass. And, and but hopefully you were able to get the content that we put out there on that last episode. Get that out of the way. And,just. as I mentioned, in my last episode, we have plans.

[00:03:53] We’ve released a couple of videos. since the last episode four one on our channel, you can go [00:04:00] and watch those were on a it’s on YouTube, just type in 10,000 worlds. and you’ll be able to find us there as well as on Facebook. And you can also find us on our website. If you want. You can see all of our content there.

[00:04:13] 10 K world.com. That’s the number 10, then the letter K, and then the word worlds.com. I know that’s a mouthful, but when I was trying to find a domain or a good domain, 10, the actual words, 10,000 worlds was taken. And so I couldn’t use that. But I wanted the name of the URL to have the actual name of what the site is and what the podcast is about.

[00:04:42] So I had to choose the number 10 and the letter K, and most people, most people know. if you see the number one and then a K oh, that’s 1002 and a K that’s 2000, a 10, a number 10 and a letter K that’s 10,000. And then the word worlds after [00:05:00] that.com. So you can find all of our content there, all of our videos there as well as on, on our YouTube channel.

[00:05:08] And, I would, I would have. that you would consider,liking subscribing to the channel, helping us, to, grow the channel and to be able to let the algorithms of YouTube, Facebook and these platforms be able to help spread the content even more, because that’s the way the.

[00:05:26] These channels work, the more likes and the more, subscriptions that you receive for the, of a channel, the more, YouTube sees that, Hey, people like this content, so let’s put it out there in front of more eyeballs. And so that’s what we’re trying to do and it’s to, enhance the kingdom of. it’s the main purpose I love doing this is my first episode of the 10,000 world podcast was, it was about my testimony and I believe it was in that episode that [00:06:00] I,that I talked about,about how much I loved.

[00:06:03] Radio and,one point in time I wanted to be a radio DJ and the, be able to have the S the sound board in front of me be able to play the music and, and have the record scratching, and put the records in front of me and just do those types of things. I enjoyed that and.

[00:06:21] I never, I got to do it here and there, but never really got to do it for fours because the Lord got ahold of me before I actually got into all of that full force. And,I was thinking about doing something like that later on in life, but it never panned out and I’m so thankful, brother.

[00:06:41] Brother cadre Diggs was,preaching for us at our church a couple of weeks ago. He’s a, an evangelist brother from Columbia, South Carolina. And, he said he, as he was ministering, he said,I could have been a football player if the Lord had not come in and intervened. And, [00:07:00] and then he said, you notice how I put that if the Lord had not come in to interview.

[00:07:05] I could have been a football player because that wasn’t his, that wasn’t God’s plan for brother digs. And so you might say, why am I in this situation? Why am I doing this in life? Why am I here? Why am I living where I’m living now? You know what. If you are a righteous man, the Bible tells me and the Bible tells you that the footsteps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord.

[00:07:35] So that all ties in with our. Decisions in our free moral agency that we had, that God has given us by his grace, in life. And but our, sometimes we make the wrong choices, but our in God allowed us, allows those choices to, which is his permissive will to eventually come to his perfect will.

[00:07:59] And. [00:08:00] if God, before the foundation of the world had a plan for you, amen. Nothing is going to stop that plan, not even your own choices, you know where they’re wrong. Eventually you will fulfill what God. Predestinated for you to do. Now we can talk about predestination and that we can take a whole next 10 podcast episodes and talk about predestination, but it eventually is God’s for knowledge about what you were going to do, the decisions you were going to make, and because of what you chose.

[00:08:39] Amen. Therefore God could be destiny. Predestination is not that God thought about it. And then he forced, Pushing you through some sort of pipe to come out the other end to what exactly what he wanted you to be know in that predestination plan. There involves as well, the decisions [00:09:00] and choices that you must make, but God knows.

[00:09:03] That you will make certain decisions that will lead to a certain point in your life. And therefore he could predestinate accordingly that when the word came across your life, then you would be able to accept it. And, God made away way. And so I’m just thankful that we are who we are. We’re here, where we are, because God predestinated us to be where we are.

[00:09:26] And God predestinated me to be married to my wife and God predestined immediate to have the children that I had, but it was because he saw it before the foundation of the world. He provided certain, I guess situations that he knew I was going to make certain decisions, choices, and therefore, because of those choices, he was, he could predestinate accordingly and.

[00:09:52] And he did that. All of that before the foundation of the world, what a mighty God we serve there. He can [00:10:00] see the beginning from the end and everything in between, and he knows what you’re going through. Even at this very moment. He’s not just a God of the past. He’s not just a God of the future. He’s a God of the.

[00:10:13] Why did he tell Moses when he was, when Moses was there at the mountain and Moses was passing by that, that a burning Bush and Moses was there passing by. And when he saw that Bush there, that he probably passed by many times, but then something caught his eye because the Bush caught on fire. And the book in the Bush was not being consumed by the fire.

[00:10:38] We all know the story in God tells Moses when Moses asked me, he said, who am I? Who are you? When they asked me who is this? God, who is the God? And what is your name? And he in God tells him, he said, just tell them that I am. In other words, I am. That particular I am. [00:11:00] And he is a God of the, now he’s a God of the present and he’s there.

[00:11:06] He said that he would be with you even with, even in you to the end of the world. And so to me, that’s a present tense God, because he promised that he would be with me. And so he’s here with me. He’s there with you. He’s listening to your cry, he’s listening. He listens to your prayer. He hears you. He understands you because he is a high priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities.

[00:11:33] And so he knows what you’re going through and he understands you may not think he does, but he said that he understands. He knows. And because you’re going through a certain situation in your life, no matter what it is, it might be domestic or family problem, or it may be financial money situation or whatever it may be, or maybe sickness that you might be battling.

[00:11:55] God knows exactly what you’re going through. And him promised that [00:12:00] he would not put more on us than what we could bear. So anything that we’re going through in this life, he. Knew that we would go through it. He predestinated us to it because eventually it will lead you to his perfect will for your life.

[00:12:18] So I often said, say, it’s true that God designed our trials. Amen. Specifically. Each one of you,he custom catered every trial that we go through specifically, just for you. He didn’t give me that trial that you had. Because he made it only for you. And so he knew that you could pass that test. He knew that you could go overcome through that trial.

[00:12:46] And therefore that trial was custom tailored just for you. The trials that are go through they’re custom tailored for me. They may not be the same things that you have to battle. or the things that, that we go through that, [00:13:00] that you might go through. But God, eventually everything that we go through, every trial, every situation is because God is molding us and he wants us to be more like ourselves.

[00:13:14] No, he wants us to be more like him. We are growing in the stature of a perfect man and who is the perfect man? Who was the first perfect man ever that lived here on earth. It was our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. He is the perfect one. He is the one without sin. And so we are growing in his stature by own buyer by our own,our own works.

[00:13:39] No, not at all, but why he did for us on the cross of Calvary. If I, by dying and read and write. And then resurrecting and then coming down in the form of the holy ghost as the comforter. Amen. When we received the holy spirit in our life, then he will, he’ll help us grow in the [00:14:00] stature of a perfect man.

[00:14:02] I know that there’s many people that believe they say that you have to grow in the stature. Perfect man, first, and then you get the holy ghost, but that’s totally contrary. How can you get to that place? A man without the holy ghost being in you first, because the, if you look in the pyramid, we all have seen the pyramid by the Brandom drew that pyramid in the pyramid where you have faith, knowledge, patience, and godliness, and all the different,all the different steps.

[00:14:28] those virtues. in other words, those are holy ghost virtues. They’re not virtues that come from you. those virtues are holy ghost base. Now there’s people out here in this world and I w we’re going to continue talking about Exodus here in just a moment, but I just wanted to bring this out real quick, that many people, have,a measure of faith.

[00:14:47] Everybody has a measure of faith. Everybody has there’s people that have a certain measure of brotherly kindness. there’s good people out there and they don’t have the holy ghost. You look at the Pharisees on, in, in the new [00:15:00] Testament, in, in, in the Bible and you can put a finger in there on their lives.

[00:15:04] They had a certain portion of that, of those virtues in a human. But they didn’t have the holy ghost virtues because when you get the holy ghost, then you can have perfect knowledge. Then you can have perfect a brotherly, kindness, perfect patience. All these things come from the holy spirit because who is the holy spirit is God himself.

[00:15:32] And so since it’s God himself, and he displayed these virtues, these attributes. When he was here living on earth in a perfect way, therefore he can give them to us in a perfect manner, but we must want them. And we must be able to con to be willing, to practice. in other words, in other, as we’re scaling.

[00:15:55] And the stature of a perfect man. And so potentially when you receive the holy spirit, you [00:16:00] already have those virtues in you. It’s just that those virtues really are not for your soul. They’re not to save you a man, but they are to perfect the outside man or to help perfect the spirit and the outside man, this flesh.

[00:16:17] Amen. Because it’s your spirit. That needs patience. And you’re in whatever happens in the spirit realm in your spirit comes out into the flesh realm. And so you have to think about it first before you can manifest it. in the thinking happens in the spirit and then it manifests in the flesh and the.

[00:16:37] So you have to, these things have to be working in you and they can only be working in you by the holy ghost. And that’s why so important to be born again, and to receive the baptism of the holy ghost in your soul. Amen. Many people received the baptism of the holy ghost. You brother Branham’s himself [00:17:00] said that you can have the holy ghost receive the baptism of the holy ghost.

[00:17:04] On your flesh every day of your life and still die and go to. So it has nothing to do with receiving the holy spirit on your flesh because receiving the holy spirit on your flares, that’s only temporary. Amen. You’ve got to receive it in the soul. Amen. When you receive it in the soul, then it can manifest itself in the flesh.

[00:17:24] Amen. And so what am I saying with that many people? Amen. They put the shouting and the screaming and the speaking in tongues and all the externals. which is a baptism of the holy ghost, but it’s a baptism on the flesh or on the spirit, but it isn’t a baptism of the holy ghost in the soul.

[00:17:45] And so those are two different things because a person can go to church and feel the holy spirit on the flesh and it causes him to cry. It causes him to jump. It causes him to shout. It causes him to dance in the spirit. And we believe in all of those things. Totally [00:18:00] support. Does it. If I could do it more, I would do it more.

[00:18:01] I love feeling the spirit on my flesh and on my spirit. But you see what does all that matter? If you don’t have the holy spirit in your soul, if you are not born again, that’s what, that’s why Jesus said to Nicodemus. He said you must be born in. And he, wasn’t talking about shout and jumping, screaming, and dancing in the spirit.

[00:18:23] He was talking to him about, you’ve got to receive the word for yourself in your soul. And so that’s what this program is all about. You’ve got to receive this word for yourself in your 10,000 worlds. Amen. You’ve got to receive, and it’s a decision that you make. It’s not something that I can do for you.

[00:18:42] I, we, as ministers, we can only preach the word of God, but it’s you, that makes the decision. Whether you’re going to continue with God or not, or whether you’re going to receive his word or not, whether you’re going to believe God has provided a way for us. God has provided a way for you. Now it’s up [00:19:00] to you to make the decision.

[00:19:01] anyways, I wanted to, I don’t know how I got into that, but, we just thank God and we thank God for his promises. St. we want to continue looking at this Exodus chapter 32, and we were talking about this week in regards to the children of Israel and how interesting that they went through the, we all know the story that they went through the, through the red sea.

[00:19:24] They God, they left Egypt with mighty wonders, mighty things that took place. They saw the plagues,they saw that in Egypt. It, one of the plagues was darkness, gross darkness, and it was dark. Can you imagine dish, just think about this for a moment, young people that are listening to us right now, you hear the story about the 10 plagues and, but just think about this, let’s just.

[00:19:50] Take the, the plague of darkness and the Bible tells us that it was gross darkness as is, as if it has never seen before. it was truly [00:20:00] dark and the gypsies couldn’t see anything. So they would have to, because they couldn’t see anything they would have to, I don’t know if they use candles and things like that to get around.

[00:20:13] but there was no light. Where they were at, but down over there in another part of Egypt, in a city, in a little area called Goshen, where ma majority of the children of Israel were living, there was light. And that is just imagine that, think about it for just a moment. If you’re, let’s say you’re, you’re living your town.

[00:20:38] And one part of your town is completely dark it’s night. And the way it was dark there in Egypt, it was just, it was total darkness. They couldn’t see anything before them. At least at nighttime, you can still maybe see some Moonlight and things. It’s not totally dark, but just pretend that in your [00:21:00] town, you, one part of your town is just completely pitch dark.

[00:21:04] And then the other part of the town is just bright. Like it is now, if you live in Georgia in the middle of June, can you imagine that? what kind of impact did that have? Not just for the children of Israel to see that, but also for the Egyptians to see that. And yet the in Pharaoh, the feral saw that I’m sure he did.

[00:21:30] And he saw that. And yet still he w he would not let the children of people, the children of Israel go, he, God allowed for his heart to get hardened. and we know that what happened there, he went, they, the children of Israel left. They went after them and they all drowned in the red sea after God had opened up the red sea for them.

[00:21:53] And they all had. And air and it was a miraculous thing. They had seen the [00:22:00] children of Israel saw great one. There’s an miracles from the Lord. And when they got to this portion right here, which we’re about to go through again, as we read last week in Exodus, chapter 32, when they got to this specific point in their walk with the.

[00:22:18] Moses and God leading them by a pillar of fire during the night and then a cloud by day. and they got to this point and yet they are, they totally forgot the great signs and the great things that they had just went through maybe months. Maybe weeks prior, we don’t know exactly the time. Maybe as you’re reading, maybe you can find out what the time is, the timeframe that takes place from the time that they crossed the red sea to the T to here in Exodus, chapter 32, how much of that time span was, had passed.

[00:22:54] But we know that the children of Israel were walking around the, the wilderness, [00:23:00] the journey that they took around the wilderness to the promised land was only supposed to be like a three to four days. And they, it took them 40 years and naughty and all of them. And where did not eat end up going into the promised land.

[00:23:15] Only those second generation children of Israel. They were born of the, from the first-generation. And Joshua and Caleb from Joe from the original generation, only Joshua and Caleb were the ones who went into the promise land because they stayed true to the law. They stayed true to the word of God.

[00:23:34] They were spoken through Moses and they were nothing was going to derail them to receive the promises of God. And so we see the unbelief of the people and we’re living in an age where people quickly forget what God has done for them. I know that I go through situations like that. I, if I, sometimes things happen in my life, maybe.

[00:23:58] Maybe, trials and [00:24:00] situations and maybe a spirit of laziness might come upon you and you don’t want to do and to be on the firing line, so to speak. in service for God and we forget the blessings and the benefits that we’ve received a God from God up to that point, it’s just a human nature.

[00:24:20] It’s a human nature. And therefore that’s the reason why it’s so important to always be in tune with the word. Always be walking hand in hand with the word and letting that word lead us, always be in the word all. Pray, always read the word, always listen to the prophet, always do everything that will help you grow.

[00:24:44] In the grace and the knowledge and the faith of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. And if the children of Israel would have just done that, if they would’ve just said, when Moses went up into the mountain, which we’re about to read here in just a moment, if there was said, we’re just going to wait. We know God is working.

[00:24:58] We know God is going to give [00:25:00] Moses something. We’re just gonna sit here. We’re gonna wait. And we’re going to continue doing what we’re supposed to be doing. And as to worship our God to continue thanking him for his mercies, thanking him for. Great things that he has done. And yet they decided to do something else.

[00:25:18] So let’s read here again and let’s look at this here for just a moment, just a little bit, a little bit closer. and the Bible says here in Exodus, chapter 32, and you can read with me, we’re reading out of the king James version, Exodus chapter 32 and the NSS here and when the P verse one, and when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the.

[00:25:43] So Moses had gone up to the mountain. And so when the people saw their Moses was taken too long to come down out of the mountain, the people. The Z white Moses didn’t tell him to do this. [00:26:00] It was the people’s choice. The people gathered themselves together. Aaron, because Aaron was done. Was that the next person in line?

[00:26:09] In other words, Aaron was the vice-president of the. Or he was the, the assistant manager of the company. Moses was the boss. Moses was the founder. Amen. but Aaron was the assistant manager. He was the vice president of the. And so they went up to the next person in line that was in charge.

[00:26:32] You see these people needed to be led. They were people that there needed to be led. That’s why it’s so important for us. We’ve got to have a leader in our life and you see we otherwise. That’s why the Bible tells us that we are sheep. We are the sheep of his pastures and sheep need guidance, sheep need leadership.

[00:26:53] If they don’t have leadership, they get lost. They wander off, they fall asleep. they fall astray. And when that [00:27:00] happens, some Wolf out there completely takes over your life. And there you are. That’s it for you out. You go. And so the people, they knew that they needed leaderships and they could not find that leadership anymore from Moses because Moses was not in the scene.

[00:27:16] And so they needed. and just to back up, that’s the reason why you and I need leadership first and foremost, we need the leadership of the holy ghost. And that’s why God gave us the comforter to lead us and guide us onto all truth. But then that’s the reason why he gave us the five fold ministry, which is very controversial in this our day in the message that we believe.

[00:27:43] It’s almost like a dirty word or a dirty phrase to say the five fold ministry among certain ranks, but it’s in the word of God. It,that, that ministry is in the word of God. He may not say five fold ministry, [00:28:00] but that’s just the name of the five different offices that were given for,prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, and apostle.

[00:28:09] And they’re in the word and they are too perfect. Amen. The church. Amen. That’s too. They, in other words that has to do with leadership and it’s not to be in command or over, or, you do it my way or else. No. that’s not it. These man, these. The firewall ministry or the, these five offices, they have to work in sync with the holy spirit.

[00:28:35] They, it is the holy spirit through them perfecting the church. And it’s not the man per se, perfecting it’s the holy spirit through those five offices perfecting the church. And so we got to have a. We’ve we, we,as people of God, we’ve got to have a pasture. We’ve got to have evangelists. We’ve got to have teachers.

[00:28:59] Oh, [00:29:00] that is oh. To a lot of people. The teacher is like non-existent nowadays, but they’re in the, it’s in the word. And brother Brandon talks highly of the teaching ministry. Amen. So we need to have the, teaching the teacher. We need to have the apostles. Amen. those are missionaries one that sent as what the word apostle means.

[00:29:24] Amen. And we’ve got to have the, all these different offices in order for the church in whole to be perfected. Amen. And you can’t have, you can’t have just pastors or you can’t just have just evangelists. It’s in order the fossil ministry is like your hand, like the five fingers of your hand.

[00:29:47] And when you’re missing one of the fingers and your hand, your whole hand, isn’t working properly. I’ll tell you what I, I’m just, I’m getting off course here from what I’m supposed to be talking about, but, I just feel the holy spirit, I feel [00:30:00] leading this way, so you excuse me. But,back last October, they were at a youth camp in, South Carolina.

[00:30:05] I was a. Playing basketball with some of the young people there. and I broke my pinky finger. Now, I didn’t know it at the time that I broke it that no, till about a week or so later that I had broken my pinky finger. the fact that I was on my right hand, which is my dominant hand.

[00:30:22] And when I broke that finger and I had to had it, I had to have it taped buddy taped to the other, my other finger next to it, which is the ring finger. and I could not move that finger in my hand. I just couldn’t move. My hand wouldn’t work properly. It wouldn’t work at his full potential because Y one of the fingers was out of committee.

[00:30:46] And you don’t, you won’t realize how much you miss your pinky finger until you can’t use it. Your pinky finger is very important in order to allow to make this,the whole hand work [00:31:00] properly. And so you, we don’t, we can’t just say I don’t need the teacher is not that important.

[00:31:08] Oh, yes. It is important, Amy. It is very important. You need to have every aspect of the faithful ministry in order for that whole hand, spiritual hand to work properly. And so that’s very important. So we could talk about those things at a later episode. But, so looking here at Exodus chapter 32, so the people gathered themselves, verse one, they gathered themselves together unto Aaron and said unto him, Make us gods, which shall go before us for this Moses demand that brought us up out of the land of Egypt.

[00:31:49] We want not what has become of him. In other words, we don’t know what has happened to this man. And so they’re not just asking for one, God, make [00:32:00] us one. God, no. They’re asking us to make us gods.

[00:32:05] They were at that time, at that point in time,the worship of multiple gods of many gods was very well accepted amongst the different countries and the different nations they had just come out of Egypt and there was a pluralism of worshiping other gods. it was a pluralistic worship.

[00:32:25] In other words, people in Egypt had multiple gods. It wasn’t just one God. They had a God for this. They had a God for that. They had a God for this, the God of denial, the God of the dog, the God of the cat, the dog, all these different gods that they had. And so the children of Israel, they grew up, they grew 400 years over 400 years in, in the.

[00:32:49] In Egypt and they saw this and they got, some of them got enthralled in that, but there were some that still stayed and believe in the promises. And one of those [00:33:00] was, Moses, his parents. And,and but so the children of Israel were used to seeing, Hey, we’re, it’s not just about one God. It’s about multiple gods.

[00:33:09] And so they live in a pluralistic society just as we live in a pluralistic society in this day. And remember that Egypt is a type of the world. That’s a type of the world today. They lived, we live in a Pearl pluralistic society in this, the day that we live in, where it’s okay. Hey, do us Dow wilt, worship, whatever you want.

[00:33:30] God is accepting. You can do as you will. God accepts. It loves you and is willing to receive you. Write. through any avenue you want and God will receive you and God will accept it because it’s all goes, it all has to do with love. And if I feel good about it, then that’s how it matters. And it’s all, it all goes to God, but that’s not what God said in the word.

[00:33:58] The Lord Jesus Christ said, [00:34:00] I am the way. And Diane. And I am the only way he is the way the truth and the life. And you notice that it says, he said that I am the way. In other words, there’s no other way to get to me. I am the truth. I am the truth of truths. And I am the life. I am the source of all these things and you can come.

[00:34:36] You really cannot come to the father, unless you go through the Lord. Jesus Christ. And so in this pluralistic society that we live in young people where you see that it’s okay, you can still do this dress this way. Be this way, feel this way you can be non-binary you can feel bisexual. you can, if you’re a man, and if you [00:35:00] feel like you’re a woman today, that’s okay.

[00:35:02] If, and you can still worship God with those types of demons in your life. It’s all right. It’s all it all goes to God, God doesn’t accept it. Those are sinners. Those are people that need. We don’t condemn them for what they are. We can then them for the sins that they commit and we can, then we can then for their unbelief, the word of God, if the word of God has come across to them and they reject it, then I don’t condemn it.

[00:35:35] We’re really not supposed to condemn, but the word of God condemns. And so we go with what the word of God says. And so that is the society that we live in today. Anything. Whatever comes, whatever goes, God will accept it. He just looking at your heart. And that is true. He’s looking at your heart, but he knows when your heart is totally sold out to him or not, [00:36:00] or is wishy-washy or is not completely given and sold out to him.

[00:36:06] So the children of Israel, they were at this. You can tell here by the scripture that they were not totally sold out to God, they were just there just,just enjoying the benefits of God, but they were not willing yet. It doesn’t look like it, that they were willing and sold out to the word of God to, to God.

[00:36:26] So let me ask you this, and with this, I’m going to let you go, I’m going to end the episode here and just a moment. Let me ask you this. Are you truly sold out to. Are you truly from your heart sold out to not just, nah, I sold out to church when I want you to be sold out to church. We want you to be sold out to the word that if the word.

[00:36:50] I believe it, I accept it and that settles it. And as we’re going to talk about later on in a couple of episodes down the road, we want to talk about the [00:37:00] absolute and what is the absolute, who is the absolute, what w what is that absolute supposed to do for me? The absolute is not a man is not the prophet of God.

[00:37:13] That’s not the absolute is the word of God. Amen. And so when the prophet of God is speaking the word of God, then he’s speaking the absolute, but the absolute is not the human man in self. Oh my, that goes against the grain of so many people that believe otherwise, but it’s the truth. And so I want to leave you with that.

[00:37:38] Are you truly sold out to God again, not sold out to the church, sold out to God, to his word. Are you willing to die for the. Are you Willy really willing to die for the word? if they came to you at your doorstep and said, deny this guy that you believe stopped going to church and accept what [00:38:00] we have to offer except the president as God, except in worship him.

[00:38:08] Something like that happen one time for the,the four Hebrew children, the three Hebrew children. Amen. And they had to take a stand and God was with them when they took that stand. But are you willing to take that stand and they hold up a gun in your face and they say, you get your brains blown out, or you deny this God, what are you willing to do?

[00:38:31] Are you willing to deny the Word? Are you willing? Are you, or are you willing to accept and say, that is my absolute, that is where I stand. No other, every other ground is sinking sand, but I stand on the Word so take my life, do whatever you want because man can only destroy the body. But if I deny this Word, God can destroy my body and my soul.

[00:38:58] And remember, [00:39:00] your soul is worth 10,000 worlds. So what are you willing to do, where will you stand? And are you sold out to the word of God? The way we sh we need to be? So until next time, I’ll leave would that we will continue with Exodus chapter 32, starting at verse two and take it. And so I trust that you have a wonderful week.

[00:39:21] We love you in the Lord. Please continue to pray for us as we’ll be praying for you all. May God bless you until next time.
