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.
Yes.
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

don't ever go and say lord i sinned
