We are somewhere by Big

Bear.

Summer camp came to hang out with the kids. They don't know that I'm here. So, it's going to be fun. I never get to see the the youngsters much. But, my my great love for children, you know, I They're not only the future of the church, they are the now church. So, in any way we can support the youth, then it's my favorite thing to do. So, I was like, all right, we'll do live stream early. We're going to do all our recordings out this way, about 3 hours, 2 hours away from town. And go see the kids, hang out with them, talk to them. They can ask me all the questions they want, and we are winning.

What up?

I'm sorry.

Hey guys.

That was your son. That's crazy.

Right there?

Yeah, and since you shaved, too.

That was your youngest son. I'm like

What time is the activity?

I'm like, oh my god. Here. Here.

And you And you And you can uh rent it out. Like, you want to do like adult rent the whole thing. Yeah, I wasn't I wasn't going to go because uh I know I was going to have to go back to work.

Yeah.

Cuz I got his graduation tomorrow.

But, like, are you leaving? Are you This is prophetic.

Come on, dog.

Hey. Listen to me. Listen to what I say.

No, I just forgot what I was going

Do you want to go speak to more lifeguards?

What if y'all try to ask the the lifeguards for a milkshake?

That was the lifeguard.

That was AI.

Oh, yeah. We're going to let him snatch our money.

Yeah. We'll We'll go and get everybody a milkshake if you

Yeah. Thank you.

[screaming]

Make sure you raise your hand. Don't talk over one another, please.

All right.

Thank you so much.

So, anything you want to ask me that you think needs answers, I'm here. All right. Who's going to go first?

Does current Jesus look as described to John or more human as right now?

Does Jesus look the way John I'm assuming in the book of Revelation looked like. Well, God usually manifests himself according to what you can bear. So, what John saw was very very difficult to look at. But, there's times that you can't even look at his face. You know what I mean? So, what matters is not what he looks like. It's what you can bear.

How much of his presence can you stand before? That will determine what you see.

That's good.

Does that make sense?

Yeah.

Okay.

Um so, it was like it was like one day during or like the day after fasting, I was praying and uh God like really showed me like the like deep like right posture for like prayer and just like adoration for him. And like now that I now that I know it, I try to like pray there and I can like it's like I know like the destination, and as soon as I try to like drop down like deeper, it's like I literally feel myself like like like a floaty, like it goes down and it just like pops back up, and I try to like go deeper, but how do you like go past that?

How do you go deeper with God? It's very simple. Everything takes practice. Okay? And you can't have a day off. If you don't work on something, you don't get better at it because part of the biggest part of prayer meditation. Whether you're praying with your words, whether you're praying in your heart, whether you're singing to God, the biggest part of prayer is being in a meditative state, meaning you are all in. The Bible says love God with all your mind, with all your heart, with all your soul, with everything that is in you, right?

That's what makes a complete meditative state. So, if there is no meditation, there is no prayer. Hey, mamas.

I am. I just wanted to check on you.

Yeah.

Hi, Mama Maggie. I appreciate that. Um okay, so I've always wondered this, like um do you know like okay, so like if you have like a relative that's like passed away, and they have like come to you in a dream,

Mhm.

like trying to like tell you something, like maybe it could be a warning, or they're just like telling you something, what like what could that be?

Pay attention because this [clears throat] is extremely important because a whole lot of people a whole lot of people, especially adults, are even confused about this.

[clears throat]

Okay? Those who are in Christ don't die.

I'll say it one more time. If you are in Jesus Christ, you don't die. Your body goes to sleep,

Mhm. but your spirit and your soul are very much alive, even more alive than you are right now.

[snorts]

Jesus was praying, and Moses and Elijah appeared to him. Moses died. But how is Moses appearing to him and Moses is dead? Why? Cuz they're never really dead. Now, does it mean that God can send somebody that you know that passed away to come and tell you something? Absolutely. That is true. We see it in the Bible, and we see it in life every day. But also, the devil can also deceive you because you love somebody so much, and he can masquerade himself like somebody in order to take you the wrong way.

But is it true that God can send somebody you love that passed on to come and warn you or something? Yes. That is very true.

How do you know when God's talking to you?

Number one, he challenges you to be better. So, God talks through your parents, through your leaders, because God wants obedience number one, because obedience trains you to hear his voice. So, an example, if your counselor or your teacher or your pastor tells you or your mother or your father is patient. They say, [clears throat] "Can you do this?" And you do it without any questions. Now, you're learning to hear God.

just wondering, how do you like work on forgiving someone? Like even if they're like even whatever they do, like if they do something like really, really bad, how do you like learn to forgive them?

Forgiveness is a difficult thing for everybody. Everybody struggles with forgiveness because forgiveness comes with hurt. And when you are hurt, it's like you're looking at yourself bleeding, but you still have to be kind, and you still have to be to be good to somebody, right? So, forgiveness is is a difficult thing, but it becomes an easy thing if you understand that if you don't forgive, you keep on bleeding.

Forgive, you keep [snorts] on bleeding, and if you keep bleeding, you keep hurting, and if you keep hurting, you become broken, and when you're broken, you're not good for anyone. Not even yourself.

Good question.

Though angel, um like I keep on hearing like angels fight with devils in the sky and stuff, so I'm like, "Huh?" So, does it really like does the angels actually fight with the demons with bow golden bow and arrows and stuff?

The imagery of angels we have is ancient. Okay, it's how the ancient Like, think about it like this, right? You go to Genesis chapter 3. He talks about Adam and Eve being kicked out of the garden, and it says that God placed an angel at the entrance, a cherubim and a flaming sword. Now, when people hear flaming sword, they think that a sword set on fire.

Now, if you know [clears throat] anything about knives, just because you make a knife burn doesn't mean it's less sharp or more sharp. That's not the point. That sword of fire is literally a lightsaber. It's a weapon not of this world. Because remember, this this weapon has to affect spirits. So, is it swords made of metal, or what is this? I learned that weaponry that these guys have is technology that is beyond our understanding. These things are made of light.

So, it's not like it's not the way we imagine them to be. You get what I'm saying? They're not like sitting there with bow and arrows in that sense. No. It's so advanced more than we can actually understand. Their armor is not like ancient like, you know what I mean? It's not like that. When you see it, you'll be like, "Oh, snap." It's It's different.

Is age like a thing in heaven like when you go up, it's like you Are you old? Are you young? Or is it age like not a thing?

People do grow up depending on when the spirits go into heaven. Okay? But, your state of consciousness is completely different. And you kind of like are in your mid-20s to 30s.

And elders elders still look young, but you know that they're elders. It's a very strange thing. But, nobody's aged there. It's It's not like that.

So, like what is like your biggest thing that like annoys you when people talk about like the Bible when they get something wrong?

I hate it when people teach people the wrong thing. You know? Like we are not supposed to teach what God did not reveal to us. What we don't know, we are not supposed to talk about. Think about it like this. Maybe this may be a little much for you, but think about somebody trying to teach you math that doesn't know math. You're going to fail miserably.

[screaming]

Woah.

I like

Love you all.

We love you so much.

Big Mark.

I like Mark.

Jasmine, I like

Bye.

Say bye, Jasmine.

Bye.

Lori he you. Bye.

Where are we going, Pops?

Going back to church. We got to teach discipleship class. We have a 2-hour drive. Kaboom.

There it is.

Thanks for

You know what's funny?

What?

Why did you do that?

It's a secret.

Yeah.

The Lord Jesus commanded us to make disciples of men.

Why?

But what we do is we preach especially in the charismatic movement, I don't consider myself a charismatic actually. But in the general charismatic movement we preach salvation to people. But we don't teach the fullness of what it means to be a Christian and not only a Christian, a disciple. He's not a man, God is spirit. But why do we use a man to represent God? It is figurative. Why is it figurative?

Because man was set as an authority over his house. So when you look at man, you are seeing an example of God being the head of the house or being the head of creation, the head of church. It's not that because God is literally a man with with the genitalia that is like a man. For all we know, God doesn't even have any of those things. But it's a figurative term. When God says, "I am your father." You've always read that in the sense that he's like your dad. But in reality, if you read it in context, God is not just trying to bring that picture of being a dad because some people didn't have a good father.

So, what reference is God using? Because the word father, according to scripture, it just means I am your source. You don't need anybody else. I will be your source. So, whether you had a bad father, a good father, a terrible father, him being your father just means I am your source. Remember, at the same time Jesus says this.

He says we are the bride of Christ. So, is the church a woman? No. But he says that we are his bride. So, whether you're a man or a woman, Jesus is coming to marry you. But this is also a figurative term because he's trying to display the highest level of communion and union that we can understand. Your spirit and your body and your soul, they are distinct in how they are created, but it's still one person. So, just because your spirit is in the spiritual realm and your body is in the astral plane, your soul is in the astral plane, and your physical body is in this world, the distinction is in location, but not in the being. You're still a human being.

A human being's soul and spirit, they still share the same consciousness. The difference is when you become spiritually mature and you're seasoned in the spirit, you can shift your consciousness and be aware of the fullness of your existence, but you're still that same person. Why? Your soul still needs to get renewed so that it can align and have the spiritual mind. Why? Because in your soul, there is the DNA of sin. What did sin do? It corrupted how you think. So, God wants to speak to you. God does not speak to the soul. God only speaks to the spirit.

So, how does God fix you? He has to find a way to mold the soul, fix the soul, so that the soul can be re-aligned to your spirit, which is the only seed of God. So, what I'm doing is to fortify you. And it will go as far as God will allow us to go because discipleship is never-ending.

So, as long as I'm around, I will continue to build you and to build you and to build you and to build you and to build you. You may have 200, 500 disciples, you are still learning and still growing because if you stop learning and growing, then you're not going anywhere. Say, "Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for understanding.

I thank you for the spirit of understanding. That I may grow in wisdom.

That I may be fortified in you.

That I will become the instrument that will bring so many people to Christ. Father, I want to save souls because that is the great commission.

I was not born again to remain in church. I was born again to bring people to church. So that they may be discipled.

That your kingdom may expand. And your will to be done on earth.

Father, today I am a disciple.

Not according to the will of man.

But according to the will of God.

From today I am anointed. And I am activated. To know the mysteries of God.

So that I can bring many to repentance.

And many to conversion. That they may follow the Lord Jesus.

Who is the true God. Father today clean my mind.

Purify my thoughts. Purify my heart. That I may have solid doctrine.

That everything else that is of the enemy. Every information. That is demonic in nature.

Even if it sounds good. But is contrary to your word. Lord Jesus take it out of me.

Holy Spirit take it out of me. In the mighty name of Jesus.

Father make me solid in truth.

Take 30 seconds and pray that prayer for yourself.

We love you all.
