All right, so looks like I may have sound. Um if I could just get a quick thumbs up, that would be great. And while I'm doing that, I'm going to try. Um to go live on Rumble. I do not know if Glenda is here. Sorry, I'm not looking at the chat right now. There's two comments there. So I'll get to um Pam and Steven in just a moment. I want to see if I can get this going. And see if I can do this. So hold on. There's my mic. Okay. And then my camera is gonna be here. The angle's gonna be off, Glenda, but you'll be fine. There's my microphone. Let me start this stream. Um sorry guys. I thought I had all of this taken care of, but I do not. So I'm gonna try. To get this working. I'm trying to go as fast as I can here. Um anyone can watch, save changes. Schedule, pick a time. 710, schedule stream. User has already cleaned a real idea. Okay, so hold please. Can I end live stream? And I guess I'm just talking to myself, okay? Just talking to myself. Sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, I say. Alright, so hopefully, I don't see myself and enable camera. Okay, there's my camera. Um, I'm hoping I'm there. I don't know, so someone can let me know if you want to head over to Rumble. I promise, I promise. I'll be with you guys in just a second. That's what I get for not paying attention. So all I do is I see a rumble studio. Oh, maybe because I said it at um whatever time it was. Okay. So sorry for all of that. Um, again, if you are on Rumble and it's starting at 7:10, so you got three more minutes. Right now it's a green screen. So enjoy the green screen. Uh, but I don't think this is really gonna work on Rumble uh tonight. I just thought about that because of everything that I have to share. So I'm just gonna end the stream. We're just gonna call Rumble a day. So, Glenda, if you are over here, I apologize. I will iron out all the glitches. Um, I know um with the stream. Okay, so uh Steven, thank you so much. I am glad I'm back. I'm definitely refreshed, recharged, um, ready to go. Um Pam, hello, thank you so much. I've missed everyone, believe it or not. I certainly have. Uh, you guys have uh really become my family, and I really appreciate that. Uh, Daniel, Mr. Daniel, I'm so glad you are here, and I have my note right there so I don't forget. Cheryl, hello, hello, hello. Um, but anyway, so I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I am doing it on purpose. So the good news that you guys are gonna hear, you're gonna hear at the end of the podcast. Of course, because if I did it in the beginning, then people would drop off. And I don't want anyone dropping off tonight because this one is really important. So, yes, you're gonna have to wait to the end, but it shouldn't be that long here tonight at all. So, I want to also preface this. Um, StreamYard, as you know, I do not pay for that anymore. So that's my issue with Rumble. I thought I can do two destinations. Um, hello, Dora. Hello, hello. Um, and I cannot. So with that, I keep looking at this camera, but I'm here. So, with that being said, um I cannot stream to Rumble. I have to just create it on my own using the camera and then just try to sync these two together. Um, what was I gonna say? Oh, yeah. So with StreamYard, I'm hoping that everything that I have in here is gonna work, the video content, all of that good stuff. So um, I decided to do these podcasts a little differently because I think that after you know 10-15 minutes, people tend to drop off. And um I want to be able to hold your attention. This is a new series, and I don't even want to call it a series, uh, because it's gonna be permanent on this channel. They're not gonna be like RLEs, but they're gonna kind of sort of be like red light editions for those who don't know what RLEs mean. Um, the two things, as you can see by the thumbnail here tonight, is gonna be behind the apostasy. That's gonna be deep diving into to, you know, uh it could be a teacher, um, a pastor, it could be a Christian influencer. And we're gonna examine them. We're all gonna collectively come together and we're gonna examine it. Um, with that being said, because of that, there will be video content. I'm still gonna go live. Um, I was kind of pushing away from that and just setting them up as premieres, but uh I'm not gonna do that. So, but I will have video content within the live, and we're gonna kind of get a gist of that here tonight, what I mean. So I'm actually, believe it or not, doing more work on the back end, but I need to keep people engaged because these series um I want them shareable, guys. Clip these things, put them on your YouTube page. Guys, I'm telling you, we are nearing the end of the church age. And it could be today, tomorrow, a month, a year, five years, 10 years. So we are nearing it, and we really need to warn and really open our eyes and our ears to what is around us. So the behind the apostasy, that's what is gonna be involving. Behind the music, because I can't play all the music, and there's sometimes that you know I get a copyright and then I fight it because the original content was found on TikTok or Instagram, and therefore I can get by with it. But in some cases, what we're gonna be doing with behind the music is I've done this before, and we're gonna examine lyrics. And I think sometimes when we listen to music, what draws us in is the hook. The hook would be what's called the chorus or the bridge. It's the hook of the music that draws people in. And so we're gonna examine lyrics biblically. We're also gonna put things up like what does the church look like today? Um, if you know churches today, if you want me to examine what's going on in your personal church, send those things to me. Again, the email is changed. It is lifeclips podcast at gmail.com. It's literally the name of the podcast at Gmail. So originally when I started doing this and I had everything planned, because that's what I do, guys. I am a planner. I just that I've always been that way. Um just organized, detailed planning. I, you know, I just that's just my DNA. Um, but when I was planning to do tonight, I kept feeling this gut punch, like, no, like whose podcast is this? And I didn't know I'm just joking, but I kept feeling this nudge to set up the fundamentals of our faith, to lay down the foundational truths of the word of God. And tonight I wanted to give a brief overview of some of the important, not only false movements that are in our church, but why we believe what we believe and what do we believe? Because you can't fight the counterfeit if you don't know the authentic. Um, so if you want to save this video, if you want to bookmark this video, to go back and just take notes of what our foundational faiths are, what do we believe in? What do you believe in? What does the Bible teach us? Um I'm trying not to smile because my news is so great and I just I don't want to bust the bubble. Y'all just gonna have to wait till the end. The church is under attack from the inside. One thing when I was talking to the Lord, not this morning because I was running late. So yesterday morning, I was really deep in prayer with the Lord, and the thing that just kept going through my mind is you guys realize, and I've said this a lot on this podcast, the devil is really not after the unbeliever, because he has them. But where is the devil now going to not now because he's been doing it? We we know that from Corinthians, right? He masquerades as an angel of light, for he himself has servants of righteousness. So um in First Corinthians chapter uh 11, beginning in verse 13, we know that. And I'm I'm actually gonna put that up here in a minute. Um, but the church is now under attack from the inside, and it has been for millennia. It's not like this is something new. Paul spoke about it, Peter spoke about it, Jude spoke about it, James spoke about it, Jesus spoke about it. So this isn't like new language. What happened, I think, is we have become a church, and I hate to put it this way, because I was one like this too. We've become a church full of sissies and cowards and complacency, where we care more about not offending anybody. Um, and we and we really shouldn't do that. So, with that being said, on that little, I'm hitting the wrong button, with that little note right there. Hi, Kelly, I'm so glad to be back. So glad to be back. Um, I want to introduce, but I'm not gonna put a video up, this week's mug. So uh hold on. And Daniel, I have not forgotten about what I want to say to you. All right, so what I did is I ordered a mug from Etsy, and I normally don't do that because they're pretty pricey, but I wanted something that I could use all the time, and whether it be on an RLE or going through this here. So I don't remember what email I use, but we'll just log in here and hope for the best. I want to give a shout out though, in all transparency, to um this modern mad's company. I'm gonna put her name here in the chat. And that way, if you want to get something, I don't know what else she does, but what she did on this mug is stunning. So I ordered this mug and I wanted it to be, you know, truth. And so it's a double-sided mug. It's it's very cute, it's red for the red light editions, but it's also red for a warning because that's what I do here. I warn. But that is the lady who, and it was so responsive. I I she responded right away because I knew what I wanted, and I just wasn't really making it clear because you only have certain characters, and this mug turned out beautifully. So, what I got, let me just make sure I I can say it right. It's kind of a retro diner mug. So on this one side, I really hope the camera pulls it in. This isn't this beautiful. I am using the Bible as my proof. And then when you turn it around, let me move my teabags there, it says, Therefore, I am not arguing. So she did such an amazing job. But this right here, right, this is what we should all be used to saying. Like, listen, I'm using the Bible as my proof, so therefore, I'm not arguing. I just don't think people like to hear the truth, and that's the world we're living in today. So thank you, modern mads, for this amazing mug. So beautiful. Um, very, very talented. Um, I don't know what you machine you use, but anyway. Okay, so again, if you're just tuning in, the good news is gonna be said at the end of the podcast. And I mean, it is great, great, great news. Okay, okay. So I am having a flare-up right now with my rosacea. I have the fan on, so hopefully you don't hear too much of that noise, but I need to keep the fan on to keep my face cool because it just gets this rush of heat. Um, anyway, let's get started. So, as I just brought up before, and I know some of these things might be hard to see, but um you just got to get all of these backgrounds from them. Though you gotta upgrade and do this and that and the other thing. And this is crazy. I don't understand. So, anyway, I I apologize about how it looks. I just can't remove anything. So that scripture verse on the screen is 1 Corinthians chapter 11, beginning in verse 13. And what does it say? For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore, what is that therefore, because of everything we just read, is not surprising. Therefore, it is not surprising if his servants, who's that? Satan's, also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds. Now, what I found very interesting in here is when I was looking at that, I've always paid attention to those few verses. But I like to keep the Bible in context. So, what I decided to do is well, what is what led Paul into saying what he said? Now, this next video that I'm gonna insert, I guarantee you you're not gonna be able to really see the writing. It's gonna be a little blurry, but I will be reading it. So what Paul says here, and I'm gonna remove me, Paul says, but what am I doing? But what I am doing, excuse me, but what I am doing, I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we in the matter about which they are boasting. So, what is Paul saying there? That's that's the warning. Thank you, Pam. Thank you, Daniel. I think the mug looks great. She did a great job. So, what is Paul saying? He's saying we are to cut off these false teachers, we are to expose their faulty doctrines of demons. So, before I go into what we are gonna go into tonight, um, I just found that interesting that Paul started it that way, and then he led into those verses. So, tonight, before we go into some foundational truths, moving forward again on this podcast, I will be dissecting some things. Um, I want to say there are blatant false religions that are out there. With that being said, on this podcast, on this behind the apostasy, unless, hear me, unless you need me to, I will not discuss the following false religions. I will not discuss Christ consciousness, I will not discuss Mormons, I will not discuss Jehovah's Witnesses. Uh, that went kind of fast. Let me rewind that back. I will not discuss Islam, I will not discuss Buddhism, I will not discuss Hinduism, Black Hebrew, Israelites, Universalism, parts of New Age, and the Baha'i faith. The reason being is I think sometimes we might get sucked into these false religions. And if you don't know that they're false, uh, you know, that's just concerning if I could be honest. We should know that these religions are false. But again, just to be clear, if you need me, let me count these. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. See, this is a lot more work when it's free, I'll tell you damn much. It's a lot more work, y'all. Okay, okay. Um, if you need me to, I absolutely will. But I think we kind of get a handle that those religions are false. Now, the last one that I mentioned was that Baha'i Faith. And there's actually a church literally right across the street from where I live. And um this one was very interesting. And I don't know if you know anything about Baha'i Faith, and I'll put it here um again in the in the chat so you can see the name again. So there's the name. Um, and I have links in the description box as well. But I I want to say this very quickly about the Baha'i faith, and I'm gonna put this here on the screen, and um let's make this a little bigger or bigger. There we go. This is what this faith is about, and I was reminded about the great harlot in the book of Revelation. The oneness of God, this is their core principles, this is what they focus on. The oneness of God, the essential unity of all world religions, and the unity of humanity. Baha'i believes in the concept of quote, progressive revelation. Very interesting. That means that God has sent various divine, hear this guy's educators and prophets such as Abraham, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, and Mohammed. They claim that God sent them to guide humanity's spiritual evolution. Baha'i Ulah is considered the most recent of these divine messengers, bringing teachings designed to address the needs of this modern age. Now, what's interesting is um Baha'i Ulah, Baha'i Ullah, he is their founder. Now, he's long burning in the fires of hell, but um interestingly enough, now this false religion was founded in Iran, right? Persia, modern day Iran. And now when I saw that and I did my research, I said, well, I'll be who says that a false religion can happen in Babylon, Iraq. I don't know, very interesting. So again, I put the links in the description box so you can read more about it. And that's, you know, this is how we are able to fight other false religions. So I do see people dropping off, and I know they would because I didn't get to the news in the beginning. But again, for those who are here, if you can just stay to the end, that's when I will share the good news. And again, I do that on purpose, you know. So, because the people who want to actually hear and stay and uh things of that nature. So, anyway, um, I'm gonna go ahead and continue on here with um uploading more videos as I can. So, just give me a second, because when I delete, then I gotta upload. All right. So let me get to this, Daniel. Daniel, you had wanted me to look at a rich tidwell, a rich tidwell. And I looked him up and I said, Oh my. Oh my. Oh my. First, my question to you, Daniel, is how did you even come across this guy? That would be question number one. And uh so question number two is uh, how did you come across this guy? So I am definitely going to cover him. I have him written down here. Uh, very interesting. Um, I had uh some words with one of his videos and people there on his YouTube channel. I'm not gonna give it away. So, Daniel, don't give it away, but uh I'm definitely gonna cover him. Uh, never heard of him, and I now I can see why. But I appreciate you bringing him to my attention. So now tonight, what we are gonna dive into. So, again, hang tight to the end. I'm gonna keep repeating that because that's where the good news is, and it's really good news. Uh I want to set the authentic foundational truths of what we believe. And from these foundational truths, we can all understand what the counterfeit is. We'll understand what is actually not taught in the Bible when we rightly divide the word of God. We must understand the authenticity to expose the counterfeit. Now, I'll be honest, guys, the counterfeit is so prevalent today that no one sees it, no one hears it, no one cares about it, no one really wants the authentic anymore. So the first, well, I would adjust your feed, nom de Z and he's cry cry. Okay, just cray cray. So the first thing I want to go over, which is unequivocally a foundational truth, is the following. Three distinct personages. He is not one God that takes on different modes. That, my friends, is called modalism or oneness theology. The churches that adhere to modalism or oneness are usually your united Pentecostal and churches that will have the name

quote apostolic in their title. So what the Bible teaches us very plainly and clearly that there is the Father, there is the Son, and there is the Holy Spirit. Paul makes it clear of their distinctly

(Cont.) WARNING: Behind The Apostasy | 309

SPEAKER_01 26:22

different roles. Thus, because of Paul's statements, making them three distinctly different personages. In 2 Corinthians uh 13, verses 14, verse, not verses, it's only one, verse 14, Paul said at the close of his letter, quote, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, there's one, the love of God, that would be two, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. I'm gonna give you proof text of a three personages triune God, not modalism. At Jesus' baptism is another proof. So again, bookmark this video. Feel free to go back and lay these as your principal arguments when somebody wants to counterfeit the Trinity. Jesus now, and another reason I'm doing this is because what we're gonna get into in the latter weeks, months, years, however, the Lord, however the Lord long he tarries, we have to know because if we're hearing somebody say something about, you know, when Jesus, when God came off his throne, that's usually a key that you should hear that. Is he the son of God? Absolutely. He's God in the flesh, absolutely, but we have to understand God physically did not come off his throne, pin himself on the cross, and then raise himself up from the dead. He didn't take on three different modes, but that's what we have to listen to when we're listening to false teachers. I digress, that is why I have notes. Anyway, Jesus' baptism is proof. Here you go, guys. Listen. So you have Jesus being baptized, you have the spirit who descended as a dove, kind of like a dove. It's not what it wasn't an actual dove that flew out of heaven, and the father's voice affirmed Jesus as his beloved son. All three were present. Now, modalists will debunk this and they'll give you their fallacy on this, their counterfeit, and it makes zero sense. So if they were different modes, how did they manifest modes at the same time? This is what modalism believes: one, right? One God in different modes. That's what that means. One God, and He'll take on different modes. So God was Jesus on the cross, God was the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. And again, it is, but it's not. They're saying that God is literally uh as a different mode. And I'll be honest, the whole water, ice, and steam theory that's modalism. Okay, that's the same product in different modes. You can't use the ice thing that the people use and the other thing. So let me be very clear as to what modalists believe and why it's unbiblical. And ultimately, here we go, guys. It is a different Jesus. God is being God, that is his modality. When God is Jesus, that is his modality. When God is the Holy Spirit, that is his modality. It's God taking on different modes. So I hope that makes sense. And then now we're understanding exactly what the modality is, because the deity, the triune God is not different modes, it's three distinctly different personages. The deity of Christ is throughout the New Testament. Here's just some things here. John declares that the word was God. That's in John chapter 1, verses 1 through 3. It also in that same chapter, verse 14, says the word became flesh. And then Jesus also claimed in John chapter 10, verse 30, I and the Father are one, meaning one in plan, right? One in desire. They weren't one in one person taking on different modes. God is not this mode of just oneness. That's where they get that theology from modalism oneness. And then all of a sudden, out of God comes Jesus. Out of God comes the Trinity to do a specific mode. Okay. So when Jesus said, I and the Father are one, that's where they lay. That's their plumb line. Seeing they're one. No, it means they had one mission at hand, not one modalism. Jesus also said, He who has seen me has seen the Father. Hear this, guys. Jesus did not say, I am God now in a different mode. He who has seen me has seen me in a different mode. That's never mentioned. Jesus also said in John chapter 14, verses 9 through 11, I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. The book of Colossians states that in Jesus all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form. So the last one here is now going to be the Holy Spirit. That's so we've discussed God, we've we've discussed Jesus, now the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit also proved through the lens of the Bible, it is also not a modality, but a separate personages. Now the Holy Spirit is separate because Jesus, what? He promised another helper. He didn't say me in a different mode. He said, I promise you another helper that he may be with you forever. That is the spirit of truth. That is found in John chapter 14, verses 16 and 17. Very interesting, though. We are to worship how in spirit and in truth. Just let it let that rest here tonight. Though um, this one should prove by leaps and bounds that lying to the Holy Spirit is equated with lying to God Himself. We all know that account of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts chapter 5, verses 3 and 4. In First Corinthians 12, now it wouldn't have it would have worded it differently, would it not? It told him, don't lie against the Holy Spirit. It just would have said, Don't lie against us or whatever the case may be, right? It was specific to the Holy Spirit, meaning because he's not a different modality, he is a personage of a person of the Trinity. In 1 Corinthians chapter 12, verses 4 through 6, Paul says the following about the varieties of gifts, right? He says ministries and effects of that nature. The same spirit, this is what he says. He says, the same spirit, the same Lord, and the same God. So people say, okay, well, the Trinity is not written in the Bible, but it's certainly implied. Now I'm gonna go here and then we're gonna get on to our next one. If that's not enough proof in Peter, this is what Peter said in first in 1 Peter chapter 1, verse 2. Peter said this. Here we go: the foreknowledge of God, the Father, the sanctifying work of the Spirit, and to obey Jesus Christ. Again, three personages in one. Finally, let's go back to the beginning of the Bible, Genesis chapter 1, verse 26. Let us make man in our image. Okay. So now the second point, again, you guys might say, Well, I already knew the Trinity, and you might be like, I know this too. But you'll be amazed on when you hear people speak when the counterfeit comes out again, if you know the authentic. The second point is Jesus is the Son of God. Now, again, you may be wondering why I'm doing this. Why are we covering the foundations of our faith? It is because people do not really know the foundation of the faith. And therefore, that allows them to get behind the apostasy instead of exposing the apostasy or better yet, defending the apostasy. I don't know what was worse for this channel. Coming out of the prophecy circle or telling people not to pray for false teachers, which has really let people leave this channel. I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna pray for anyone who's leading millions of people to hell. So, how many people have come and gone from this channel? Um, and listen, you can be busy defending the apostasy. I'm gonna be busy about my father's business exposing it. So, anyway, second, Jesus is the son of God. Now, I want to play this here, and hopefully you guys will um get something out of it, like I will. Let me make sure it's the right video. Jesus is not a created being, Jesus is not a major prophet and not our Messiah. Jesus is not the archangel Michael and God's first creation. Jesus is not a divine being who is the literal quote son of God. Jesus is not the spirit brother of Satan. Jesus is not a false teacher or deceiver. Jesus is not a descendant master, an enlightened guru, or some grand master of the universal divine spark that is in all humans. Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is fully man and fully God. Jesus was born of a virgin. Jesus was crucified. Jesus was buried. Jesus rose again. Jesus is coming again. Jesus is God in the flesh. He is our Emmanuel, means God with us. Jesus is the I am. Jesus is the Son of God. So in case you guys do not think that all of that is true, then you unfortunately you're serving a different Jesus. Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father. Again, that kind of debunks modality as well. Acts chapter 2, verse 33. He sits at the right hand of the Father. If they were different modes, why is he sitting at the right hand? Okay. So this is what it says. Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, actually, believe it or not, right there is the Trinity as well. He has poured forth this which you both see and hear. And his next mission, as we know, if I can get a hallelujah in the chat, is to rapture his true bride. And after that amazing day, he will open the title deed of the earth. Well technically when Daniel 927 comes to fruition. But so he's going to open the title deed of the earth. That's his next mission. Rapture, open the title deed of the earth, the seven seal scroll, right? And now we know that the world will endure a seven year period of pure hell. I'm not cursing because that's what it's going to be on earth. Jesus then will return after the seven year period and rule and reign on the throne of David. That promise will fulfill the divinic promise. So he's going to sit on the throne of David for a thousand years. So anyway let's move along because we're here to debunk fallacies. That's why we need to understand what our foundational beliefs are. Now this next section I am going to sit in here just for a little bit because it has to deal with salvation and how it is hear me please because a lot of people don't think I believe this. It is through Christ alone through faith alone that we are saved by God's grace. Now this might ruffle some feathers here tonight. So again I see people jumping on again if you're here to hear the good news hallelujah. Hallelujah. I love it. If you're here to hear the good news you're going to have to wait to the end of the podcast. And I am doing that on purpose but it is really good news but you're just going to have to hang tight because this message is more important than the good news even though the good news is good news. Okay. So let's discuss salvation. This is another huge um pickle in our churches today. And I want to prove it through the lens of the Bible again not Kim through the Bible salvation is not something we work for. I think we can all agree to that what does it say in Ephesians 2 8 and 9 for by grace you have been saved through faith and not of ourselves it is a gift of God not as a result of works so that no one may boast in Titus chapter 3 verse 5 he saved us not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness but according to his mercy by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit. We understand there's nothing that we can do we I don't care how good you think you are there's nothing that we can do to earn our salvation. And I know I'm going to repeat this down here but that means if we can't earn it that means I can't do anything to lose it. If I can earn my salvation or I can lose my salvation that means I am doing all the work I'm earning it and now I'm doing something to lose it. That's taking God completely out of the picture next point is salvation is not something we are given at birth or because we were born in a Christian home. How many of us have heard people say that well you know I was born I was raised as a Christian huh? My parents were Christians huh like that's not salvation. Okay next salvation is not water baptism. Now again why am I doing this? Because this is what people believe. This my friends I'm telling you it is not just doctrinal error. If you call them out and they're still not receptive to the truth of God's word they now believe in a different Jesus the Bible is very clear that if anyone even an angel in heaven brings forth a different gospel they are accursed. They are anathema to God. Hence the reason I don't pray for false teachers. They're cursed. Anyway but how many people don't want to hear the truth now there's some people who are like what I don't need water baptism? No right so we just got to expose the counterfeit and show them the authentic so salvation is not water baptism. The word believe and not baptism the word believe and not baptism occurs 99 times in the New Testament as your condition of salvation. Never once is the condition of salvation attached to baptism not one verse it does not say that. Not one verse says be baptized to believe now I read or I told you guys before um Titus 35 let me read it one more time he saved us not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness. So oh I'm a good person. Okay that's great. But according to his mercy by the washing and regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit. So that verse right there is telling us listen guys there's moral people in the world Gandhi was a moral person. Mother Teresa a moral person right that verse is plain even in their righteousness if they're not regenerated guess what you're not saved. So anyway he saved us who's the he it's Jesus saved us not baptism not on the basis of deeds now let's stop and pause baptism is a deed or a work right how many fake Christian songs tell us that we're changed once we get into the water now this is not in my notes um so uh on Netflix last night um and I over the course of uh several days I had been watching the Hulk Holgan uh documentary and in case you guys are not aware Hulk used to live here um he's got a place down in in where I live and with that being said um I watched it and you just see him and then towards the end you know when he got divorced and all this other stuff he kind of sort of mentioned Jesus he did I'll give him that but he also mentioned baptism as the condition I guess he said I was baptized you know and that's when people think that they come up new and guys it's a false teaching and it's leading people astray so how many people do we know and I would love to maybe get some engagement in the chat here thank you guys too I'm loving the engagement um tonight I really do uh but how many of us have heard our friends and family say oh I was baptized and now I'm saved no you're the water does not save you the water does not save you and at the end of the documentary I'm gonna I'm not gonna lie guys I wept and I wept like I knew him personally and I didn't but you know why I wept because I really don't know where he is and that is why our belief system our fundamentals in our faith is so important because I don't know where he is so if we are not believing in the right Jesus we are not going to see the real Jesus we will have eternal separation from that right Jesus how many Calvinists do I believe are right now talking to themselves while they're weeping and gnashing of their teeth I I I think all of them because they weren't never believing in the right Jesus how many Catholics are doing the same thing burning in and having weeping and gnashing of teeth because they believed in the wrong Jesus guys this is serious how many Christians do we know that are friends and families in name only outside of those religious realms that maybe just believe in Jesus said a simple prayer and now they think that I'm saved but yet should they perish they're gonna have a life of weeping and now eternity so anyway let's continue on so how many fake Christian songs tell us that we change once we get into the water lyrics such as I was changed when I stepped into the water how about Carrie Underwood songs Something in the water. There's nothing in the water. You just get wet. It's not biblical. So again, continuing to quote the verse, it says, which we have done in righteousness, but according to his mercy, by the washing of regeneration. Guys, let me tell you: regeneration and renewing, that is salvation. If you are not regenerating and renewing by the Holy Spirit, if the Holy Spirit is not regenerating you and renewing you, well, the regeneration happens once, but if he's not renewing you, you're not saved. I don't care what anyone says, and we're going to get to that. So notice who regenerates, who renews in that verse in Titus 3:5. Is it baptism? No, it's the Holy Spirit. And one last point on the baptism, and then I'm going to play a little video here. Cornelius and his family were saved, indwelled with the Spirit before they were baptized. Right? That's clear as day in the Bible. And I want to clear up with this you must be baptized in order to be saved. Now, I'll be honest, I'm sure you guys love these Duck Dynasty family. But you guys know that they believe conditionally you have to be baptized, right? Let me get my tea out of here. You guys know that, right? They believe. So Sadie Robinson Huff, when she's up there spouting her false teachings, she believes, along with all the others, that you have to be baptized in order to be saved. Guys, that is a different Jesus. That's putting you instead of Jesus on the cross when he said it is finished. So this baptism camp, they're always going to bring up Acts chapter 2, verses 38 and 39, when Peter said, repent and be baptized. But this is where Bible hermeneutics is so vital. So what I wanted to do, instead of me talking, because people kind of tune out, and I understand, I listen to podcasts too. My brain begins to wander. I am going to play a video on this. And it's about, I don't know, maybe two minutes long, I guess. Um on this. And let me right, let's see. Yeah, it's uh it's a little over two minutes. But I I thought I can do it this way to keep you guys engaged and to understand the who, what, where, when, why, and how in this passage. So Daniel said Ephesians 1:13 and 1 Corinthians 15, 1 through 4, the gospel of our salvation. Absolutely. Uh Pam, I've met many people in my lifetime that think they are saved because they were baptized. Sad. It is sad. And it's just sad. But we can combat that with scripture. So anyway, let me go ahead and add this. And again, let me go back. That we're gonna dissect here in this video, Acts chapter 2, verses 38 and 39, when Peter said, Repent and be baptized. This is how we um debunk this. And hopefully, again, bookmark this video, and uh you can come back to it later. Who was Peter speaking to? The church? Absolutely not. He was speaking to the Jews. What was happening at this time for Peter to say this? The day of Pentecost, the speaking in tongues, which were languages, because his audience, they all had different languages. The day of Pentecost, right? The Jews were still rejecting Jesus as their Messiah. That's what was happening at that time. Where was this taking place? Outside of that upper room that they were in, streetside. When did this take place? This took place 50 days after Christ ascended. Why? It was to fulfill what Christ previously told the twelve, and which we can read about in Acts chapter one. Why did this take place? It took place to fulfill what Jesus had told them. They needed to be filled and dwelled with the Holy Spirit. That the Holy Spirit emboled them, emboldened them to convict the heart of the Jews who were still in unbelief. Hence Peter's statement in verse 38, which brings us to the repent and be baptized. It was the same message that John the Baptist said. Now let's go through this really quick. Repent here, as we know, means to change your outlook. Have a change of heart. Reverse the direction of your life. Repentance will change your conduct and your way of life. It will make you have a change of heart. It will reverse the direction of your life. You were going in one direction, hell, you're now going in a completely different direction. Repentance will change your conduct and the way you live your life. Repentance, if you read it, is the theme of the apostles' message throughout the book of Acts. It's also throughout the epistles as well. Now, the problem that we have here is what? The baptism part when Peter said, repent and be baptized. However, there's not a condition of salvation here nor anywhere in the Bible when the word baptism is used. It is based on faith alone. Therefore, we cannot use this verse as a condition of baptism saves, because it never implies that. All right, so hopefully that there cleared up something. And I see your question there, Daniel. So let me um go there real quick. I have all my videos, so I won't be messing with that anymore. All right, so he said Mark 16, 16. So let me read that. Mark 16, 16, he who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved. So that, first of all, this is when you're in the gospels, the main thing is the who, what, where, when, why, and how. So in Acts, as we just heard here with Peter, it's the audience is Jews. So when you're when we're talking about Jesus is speaking in this, right? So it says here, after he appeared to the eleven themselves, and as they were reclining at the table, he reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him after he had risen. And he said to them, Go into all the world, and this is the commission. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved, but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. These signs will accompany those who have believed in my name, they will cast out demons. Excuse me. So basically, what Jesus is saying here again, it's not a condition of salvation. So, in response to preaching the gospel, whoever believes and is baptized, the one who believed and was baptized will be saved. So um let me go here really quick and let me just make this clear because it's also found in Mark 13, 12 and 13. Um, that's why he's saying what he said there. So hold on one second, because we have to go back to another. I know that some babbling here, but we have to go back to another in order to make 16 make sense. So um the spiritual death, the penalty of death, right? Um, that is what's in focus. The Ben baptized, it's not how do I explain this, Daniel? Um, it's not a condition of salvation. They've believed and has been baptized, shall be saved. Now, I I understand there's a little what's happening here. How do I how do I read this? Hold on. I uh give me two seconds because that's a great verse. Okay. It's very clear, right? So reading that, he who's believed and has been baptized shall be saved. But then there's a condition on the other side. But he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. The salvation is not attached to the baptism, just like in Acts. It's a different, how do I explain this to make it make sense? Because it is a different audience. That's why the who, what, where, when, why, and how comes into play. Jesus is not speaking to the church here, he is speaking to the Jews. So we have to revert back all the way to the beginning with John the Baptist's message. He was saying, repent and be baptized. The baptism in the in the Jewish, let me kind of give some clarity there. So hold on one second, let me pull that up. So the Jews, why did they need to be baptized? That's the whole condition. That's what's always confusing with these passages, and rightfully so. Um they the Jews were bound by their religious constrictions, right? Their religious ideology. This was basically the baptism was the how do I word this? Was basically the condition of letting those religious traditions go. Hopefully you're tracking on that. Um we know that as the church, the only way to heaven is through the acceptance of what Jesus did on Calvary, right? Again, the blood is sufficient, but it's not applied until. But in this case, with the Jews, and even with us, if you think about it, the baptism was saying, I don't need those religious works, I'm going to be buried like Christ was buried and come up new. I am making sense on that. Um it solidifies their belief. Can I just word it that way? But it's not attached to their salvation. The wording sometimes in the Bible can be very confusing, and I will be the first to attest to that. But we have to understand again the who, what, where, when, why, and how. The gospels, and I don't really mean this the way it's going to come out, but the gospels, the audience is 100% for the Jews, except for I shouldn't say that, 98% for the Jews, because I I would have to pull out uh John 14. But contextually, everything is for the Jews. Um, and absolutely, it's a um, oh hey Lisa, I didn't even know, girl, you were here. I have some great news. I don't know if you just popped in. You gotta stay to the end, girl. You gotta stay to the end. Okay, so, but that hopefully that makes sense with baptism. The Jews are totally different than the church, but yet it's not different. It was kind of breaking away from their religious traditions. That's why salvation is always said first, um, the belief part, right? You have to believe in Jesus once you truly put your faith in Christ, and then yes, you make a public display of your faith in Jesus, and that's exactly what it is. Because how many people have we known in our lives that get baptized and now they think they're saved? Um, I believe that the last part of the first clears it up, or it does, or it doesn't. It doesn't mention that they would be damned because of lack of baptism, right? So they would uh right, they are damned because of their unbelief, not because of their baptism. Absolutely. So hopefully that makes sense. Um baptism is tricky because of verses like that, but we always have to remember who the audience is 98% of the time in the gospels. Now, when we get to Acts, and after, and we're gonna get into this a little bit tonight. So after Peter's message in the book of Acts, people call it the first sermon. I mean, I don't, but you can call it that. Um, his audience is still Jews. The Gentiles really haven't begun to uh migrate into the church yet. They begin as the book of Acts starts, but in the beginning of Acts, that's why Peter said repent and be baptized. That's where, and this is where uh mid-acts dispensational, which is a complete heresy, comes in when they say Paul and Peter had different gospels. No, they didn't. They Peter went to the Jews still. So if Peter's still saying repent and be baptized, that underlining condition is still the same with the Jews. Even the Jews today, if you want to be honest, repent and be baptized because they have to let go of the the religious yokes that bind them. Great question, uh Daniel. All right, so these are the some things. I'm not gonna put this on the screen. These are some things that salvation is not. Salvation is not a sacrament. If any of you don't know what the sacrament is, what I'm talking about, this whole thing I'm gonna read is in Catholicism. So salvation is not a sacrament. Salvation is not infant baptism or baptism, it's not confirmation, it's not the Eucharist, it's not penance, it's not the anointing of the sick, it is not holy orders or matrimony. Salvation is not reaching nirvana. So Lisa, I know you're late. What I'm doing here, girl, is basically going over the fundamentals of our faith. I really felt let of the Lord to do this before we dive into in until the Lord calls me home, into the apostasy. Um, if you want to go back to the beginning, but I could just tell you really quick, this podcast is gonna be doing behind the apostasy and behind the music. Behind the apostasy is gonna do your influencers, your false teachers, not like RLEs, where there's gonna be engagement. We're gonna listen to the videos. Uh, behind the music, we're gonna delve into the lyrics of the songs. And in some cases, if I can play it, I will. We're gonna see what worship really shouldn't be in our churches today and who are they listening to and why. Um, but I wanted, I was just gonna jump into video number one tonight, and I really just felt uh I think we had texted and I think I was working on this for like 10 hours. I said I was doing podcast work for like 10 hours. This would have been it. Um, I just kind of felt led of the Lord to go in a completely different direction because he leads on this podcast. And I'm a planner, everything in my life. I plan, da-da-da-da-da. But anyway, so that's what we're doing. So, anyway, there's that. Okay, so salvation is not so what again, what I'm doing is the fundamentals of what we believe. In order to debunk the counterfeit, then we we need to know the authentic. Is like, what do we believe? Why do we believe what we believe? Okay, so salvation is not reaching nirvana, salvation is not following the teachers of the Quran, salvation is not reincarnation, salvation is not your effort, salvation is not rituals, salvation is not good deeds, salvation does not appease a God or a spirit, and then you'll be rewarded. Salvation does not cost you a thing because Jesus already paid it for you. So, what is salvation? How do you get it? So, step one, you acknowledge that you are a sinner. Now, I'll be honest, this psalm that you're gonna see on this video coming up was written pre-Jesus going to the cross. However, to this day, we have to have an acknowledgement of our sin-sick, depraved state before a holy God. We are in willful disobedience. We are in disobedience to a holy God. That's why there's unbelievers today. They just refuse to acknowledge that they are a sinner. So I want to insert this video and give you guys an idea. Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are justified when you speak, and blameless when you judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in my sin my mother conceived me Psalm fifty one one through five. God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there is any one who understands, who seeks after God. Every one of them has turned aside. Together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one. Psalm fifty three, verses two and three. Now what's interesting about that last Psalm that I read is that's where Calvinists sit in their false religion where it says there is no one who does good, not even one. But contextually, see what happens when you put scripture together like it's supposed to, and we don't pull out just one verse. I want to give you guys a joking moment here. So let me let's have some fun. Um, because Bible verses can be taken out of context. I think we can all agree to that, right? So we know, right? Many verses are taken out of context. The main ones is Philippians 4 13. I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me. That has nothing to do with what you think it has to do with. Contextually, it has to do with Paul. Nothing. Jeremiah 29, 11. You know, for I know the plans that I have for you, plans to prosper you. That's not us at all. That's Israel. So again, even here, there's no one who does good, no one, no, not one. That's not what it's saying. It's talking about our works. We can never earn. Let's go back to Titus chapter 3, verse 5. We can never earn our salvation. So I thought we can laugh a little bit here. These are some uh verses. Okay, this is found in Job chapter 19, verse 17. A reason to brush your teeth every day. This is what it says. Again, we can pull verses out of context. My breath is offensive to my wife, and I am loathsome to my own brothers. Again, we can pull that out of context. The Bible's telling me how to brush my teeth, right? Okay. Um, how about a single woman's favorite Bible verse? This is found in Romans chapter 1, 13. If any man shall come after me, let him. Or how I'm sorry, that was 16, Matthew 16, 24. So again, this is single women verses. Matthew 16, 24. If any man shall come after me, let him. See how we can pull verses out of context? This was the one in Romans 1.13. Um, it says, I would not have you ignorant, brethren. That's if a wrong man comes to you. Do you see how you can pull things out of context? Okay. So is Gatorade mentioned in the Bible? Because Gatorade is mentioned in Genesis chapter 25, 30. Remember when Esau came to Jacob and he sold his birthright for some food? Jacob, Esau said to Jacob, please let me have a swallow of that red stuff there. I am famished. So is Gatorade not mentioned in the Bible? And then my favorite one is Amos 4.4. I don't even have to look at the screen, but it says, Go to Bethel and sin all you want. I mean, I can go on, but it's very important that we do not take scripture out of context. So again, I can go on and on and on with them. Let's go back of why step one of salvation is so important the acknowledgement. It is our sin that nailed Jesus to that cross. Until we understand our depraved state, there is no one who does good, not even one. We must understand the price Jesus paid for us. That is why it bothers me so much. When folks think being saved is giving just your anxiety or your worry to Jesus, that is not being saved. Jesus did not die for that. That is an outward effect of not having an inward effect of true salvation. You don't know the prince of peace. That is why you have no peace. Right? That's why it's very important for us to understand what a circumcision of heart truly means. And unfortunately, I've mentioned time and time again, we don't talk about that in our churches today. I mean, hear people talk today on what they think salvation is, or what you do or don't have to do. What we're hearing today is not authentic, it's counterfeit. Right? And for some reason, we never want to talk about the circumcision of heart, but yet it's riddled throughout the Bible. Why have we changed that? We've changed that. We've allowed the church to lessen the fact that absolutely we should have a circumcision of heart. We should. Okay, so this video here, I do want to um talk about this uncircumcision. Again, I'm doing videos to kind of hopefully keep you guys engaged here, but this is going to bring into focus the circumcision and why it is so important. The days are coming, declares the Lord, that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised. Let me be very clear. That is 100% about Israel. However, do you not think that does not fit for our church today? You guys get that, right? The church believes that they are circumcised, that they are saved. They're the the Laodicean church, correct? But yet they're uncircumcised. God will punish the tairs of the church. Just because they think they're in the church doesn't mean they're of the church. Anyway, that's found in Jeremiah 9, 25. And in him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands. In the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ. Colossians chapter 2, verse 11. The spirit must change your heart. If you're not hearing that, you're really not in the right church. The spirit must change your heart. But he is a Jew who was one inwardly, and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the spirit, not by the letter. And his praise is not from men, but from God, that is found in Romans chapter two, verse 29. And how about this one? For we are the true circumcision, who worship in spirit of God, who worship in the spirit of God, excuse me, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh. That's found in Philippians 3, 3. When we acknowledge who we are before a holy God, that, my friends, is a true circumcision of heart. It means to remove or to cut away those things that are not pleasing to a holy God. That does not mean working or earning our salvation, but wanting to eagerly say thank you, Lord, for dying for me. We do that by what? Our works. I do this. I am saying thank you, Lord, for dying for me. And I'm out here in the world sharing the gospel. I'm here on this podcast trying to reach the church who is deceived, telling you you need to cut away those things that do not please him. And guys, it's not me, it's the Bible. You have to live a transformed life. That is proof. That is proof of step one that you have acknowledged that you are a sinner. All right, so I just noticed the time, and I'm really gonna try to do my best. I really want to keep these at an hour, the most an hour and a half. So I'm gonna finish the salvation part, and then next week we're gonna pick it up on our fifth foundational reason being is I want to give you guys the good news. Okay. Um, so we're gonna pick it up next week on the fifth foundational truth. Um, and that's gonna be a cliffhanger is once saved, always saved, biblical. That's the fifth foundational truth, but we're gonna save that for next week. Let's finish salvation. So, Lisa, I saw your comment and I thank you for that. Um it's a tough the church is very unbiblical today, unfortunately. And we call that um wanting to appease the tares because the majority of people sitting in the pews today are tares. They're tearing up the church. They they want to be coddled, they don't want to hear that they're bad people and sinners. Um they and again, I've been called out on this channel when I first started. Uh, I was some lordship person because I said I want to make Lord, you know, the Lord of my life. And I do want him Lord of my life. Um, but the circumcision of heart, that is truly the regeneration, the regenerating of the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is truly indwelled in the believer, everything that we do in life, let me ask y'all a question. Can I just ask the the 20, 19, 18 people who are here right now? I'm being honest. And I really just want, and I don't know, I think there's some people who jump in to see uh me. So if you're really here listening, and you don't care who sees that you're in this life, I just want you to answer this question, please. When you came to true faith in Christ, and let's just say, listen, guys, we're all sinners, we're all gonna sin, I should say. We're not perfect people. So let's just say you're out and about, something happens, and you lose your temper and you begin to curse. Or let's just say you're single and you're dating someone, and in that relationship, all of a sudden you found yourself in the bedroom and you had sex. Let's just say you um went out with some friends and there were cocktails at the table and you got drunk. You gotta see where I'm going with this, right? How does that make you feel when you sin against a holy God after coming to salvation? I want to I'm asking that question honestly, and I know there's a delay, so I'll give Glenda some love. So I'm glad to be back, Glenda. But let me explain something to you, Glenda. I have to figure out Rumble. Again, I'm asking a question, so I'm gonna talk here for a little bit. Um I have to figure out Rumble because I'm doing StreamYard for free, girl. So I have to like set up Rumble and I'm gonna have to do it on a different camera. So the angle's gonna be weird because I'm gonna be over here. I don't know if I could do like slides and stuff on Rumble. I don't know how it's all gonna go down, girl. So I don't know. You might have to stay on the YouTube and then I'll upload the video to Rumble if that makes sense. So you'll just have to watch it on post, right? Sick to your suck to my stomach. Sin, thank you. Sick to my stomach. Sin makes me feel like a wretch. Right? Because we all do it, guys. I mean, I can't sit here and tell anyone that I've never cursed. Oh, I thought you were sucking to your stomach, girl. Um, I I can't I can't sit here and say that I've never cursed since I've come home to the Lord. That would be a lie. Now I can say I've never had sex since I've come home to be with the Lord. And I'm actually kind of proud to say that after my debauchery, disgusting life that I lived, right? Stephen, I feel bad. Repent and strive harder to not sin against the holy God. Lisa says, I hate the sin. I make better choices because I don't want to disrespect my God. Absolutely. Right? Guys, that that's what a true born-again believer, that's what the renewing of the spirit is about. Did God say you will never sin? No, that's not even mentioned in the Bible. Pam, I feel horrible when I mess up. I pray every day that I will sin less today than yesterday. Guys, we sin every single day. If you don't think you're sinning every single day, something wrong, okay? You lying. So you sinning right now, okay? You can count this as day one. Guys, we're we're just we're of the flesh. Do you get angry? Well, that's a sin. So we have to, again, God's not, is he looking for perfection? Yeah, is he ever gonna find it while we're here in this flesh vessel? Absolutely not. But that's how we really know the fruit, right? Okay. So, anyway, thank you guys for being honest. I love that. So, step two, right? After we know we have that circumcision of heart, we are acknowledging that we are a sinner, the hardest step, that is the hardest step. Anyone can believe in Jesus, anyone can believe the simplicity of the gospel that he died, buried, and rose again. But do you believe with your heart the reason why? Why did he die? Okay. Step two: once we genuinely acknowledge our sinful state, once we have a circumcision of heart, the next is so easy, guys, that a child can understand it. This is how easy salvation is. You ready? You put your faith in Jesus, admitting that he alone bore my sin. He nailed it to the cross. That that's that's it. Guys, listen, if I never read the Bible, if I never pray, if I never go to church, if I never do, I'm still saved. I might not have a very productive Christian life, but I'm still saved. Step three, we believe after he died on the cross that he was buried. Step four, and the final acknowledgement is that Christ was raised from the dead, and hallelujah, he is coming again. So if you believe in all of this, right, and just simply don't have a form of godliness, that outward shape, but inwardly through circumcision, you are saved. So again, we're gonna pick it up next week. Don't leave. I'm gonna give you guys the good news. Don't leave, hang tight. Um, we're gonna pick it up next week, next week, with the fifth foundational truth of our faith. And I should finish it up next week, um, because I only have a few more videos, too. Um, I thought that would have been better, but clearly I'm a chatty cathy. All right, so anyway, um, we'll pick it up next Friday, the fifth foundational. Are we saved? Once we're saved, are we always saved? Can we lose our salvation? No. So that is the truth in our marking of a true believer. Because I'll be honest, guys, when I was backslidden, I've said this time and time again. I that's why I believe I was truly saved because I was so miserable inside. I knew everything that I was doing was wrong. I did it anyway because I was so angry at God. But inwardly, man, I was a wretch. Right? That's why I probably drank and did the things I did to numb how I was feeling. So, you guys ready for the good news? I probably can't even play no music on this thing anymore. Oh, you want me free? All right, hold on. What does that sound like? Here you go. Here's a drum roll. You guys ready for the good news? Okay. I was hoping it would have the best part. This is the good news. Daniel, you're not leaving, right? You just you just you gotta stay for the good news. My book is done. The only thing now, so the book in its totality is complete. The only thing now that I have to do is read through it, um, revise it, uh, but it's done. So I'm so excited. I uh literally um I I'll be working on that this weekend. It's gonna be rainy here in Florida, um, and I have some other things to do. But the only thing that I would need, and maybe this is where someone would come in who has the time, is I would like to send you a book to help me read through it. Um now, because I'm in the legal profession, there are some things that I do, like I define terms and things of that nature. Um, but I'm I'm I'm stoked. I I'm I'm so excited. Like I couldn't, I just couldn't. I didn't want to say it in the beginning, but I didn't because I wanted y'all to say it at the end because this is a really good podcast. Um, but I I would if someone would be willing um to read the book. So I'll I think right now it but don't panic. I think because it's double-sided, but when you're single paging it, it's 313 pages. That's singles, right? But a book's not single paged. So the book is 157 pages now. However, within that 157 pages is like the table of contents, you've got um just everything in its totality, the cover and things of that nature. So, what I will reveal, oh absolutely, Lisa, I'll send it to you, girl. Um, so what I will do tonight um is I am going to reveal to you, okay. Girl, I'll send it um in the email. So again, I don't know, I think you're pretty uh savvy, right? Being in in the office, but you I'm assuming you know how to do like a red line or a black line. But feel free to like download it and then any changes, just kind of do it and track changes and go from there. But I'll I'll email you and let you know. Um, you know, like if I define a term, make sure it's defined throughout and things of that nature. So in reading it, the clarity, um, that I'm not repetitive. Now, because I I'm not I don't have chapters in the book here, guys. I have what's called sections. Meaning, uh, let me just pull it up so you guys can see it really quick. Um, and that kind of gives you an idea of what it's gonna look like. Let me open this up real quick. Okay. Oh, I just I could I was just praising the Lord. Uh you know, guys, I I'll be a hundred percent. I I was so excited and just praising the Lord, praising the Lord, praising the Lord. And I just said thank you, Jesus. I mean, because this is him, this is absolutely uh. I need to save this. Hold on, guys. I want to save it to an Adobe because that way it'll look a little bit better. Then here we go. All right, save it to desktop. There's that, and then Lisa, I will send you. Thank you for that. I really appreciate it. I will send you the Word version. Um, no rush at all, and I mean that seriously. Um, I'll also be looking through it as well. And I'm nervous because hopefully on the stream yard, I'm still able to share a screen. So, what I'll do is I'm gonna show you, because again, this is important for the book because this will also, should you purchase it, um, and you want to share it or give it to somebody who's a believer or unbeliever, whatever, the sections come in handy because let's just say you may not want to start right in the beginning, you want to do something else, and but you want to send it to a believer, and then they might start at the beginning. So the Lord really, I don't know how else to say this, guys, but the Lord really truly and honestly uh moved. Uh I I I have no words for that. He literally moved um in a way that blew my mind, and I made it very, very um, I made it a priority, if I can say it that way, that I wanted to make sure that this was gonna get done. Now, the next step for me was is gonna be the finances, and that's where I've been praying with the Lord. I know Lisa has come alongside me. We're not gonna mention it here in the chat though, and that has a lot to do with it because I want to do this the right way. I want to make sure that this book has an opportunity to be in Hobby Lobby. If you go into a Hobby Lobby, the Christian section is full of Jonathan Kahn books and Joel Osteen books. I don't want that book. I don't want we we don't need that junk. But I would love for this book to be there. So that's where finances come in, of which I don't have. Um, but I know a God who has those finances. Um but you know, to put the book in Barnes Nobles, I just don't want it to be an e-reader. I don't want it just to be found online on Amazon. I want this book in people's hands, and let me tell you the reason why. Thank you guys for staying with me. Let me tell you the reason why I want this in people's hands. So much so, hear me on this, that if you can't afford the book, you're getting the book. You guys know that, right? And if Joe Schmoe down the street can't afford the book, I'll give him a copy for free. I'm not here for the money, I'm not here for the fame and the accolades, and oh, I'm an author. I can care less about that. The reason I want this book in print, that's that's the stirring in my spirit, how close we are to be going home. If somebody were to break into your home and find that book, they would have an outline to what's to come. If someone that's an unbeliever or a tear in the church, you gave them a copy of that book and they happen to be left behind, they would know from the moment that they are left behind what is going to happen. Not because the timeline is real short in this book. My focus is not the timeline. I'm not here to talk about the rapture. I'm not even here to talk about the Antichrist, I'm here to talk about a spiritual deception. So, anyway, let me show this guys to you real quick. Uh, let me get through some of this personal information here. So, this, as I said, see, Lisa, so it's two-sided. But this, my friends, is the cover photo of the book. I don't know if you guys can see that. Um, I can zoom in there, but that right now was the working cover of the book. Um, I felt like if this was, and I I asked some of my coworkers who were not believers, and that cover drew them in. And they one of my coworkers said he would probably buy the book just because of the cover, and then realize he bought a Christian book. This is the reason. And guys, you don't have to know the reason why. I'm just being honest. If you guys can come alongside me asking the Lord to do the miraculous, to get this in print the right way, to reach the lost. So I want to make sure that if this book is on a bookshelf in the spiritual section, in the religious section of Barnes and Nobles, of Hobby Lobby, even of a wouldn't it be funny? I was talking to the Lord. If this book was picked up by, say, churches like a charismatic church or these churches who have bookstores, but they don't really read it, they just put it on their shelves. Because don't think I won't be reaching out, and all of a sudden it's saving lives in the church of falsehood that they're in. Guys, this is the Lord's work. This is not Kim's work, but this is what we need to be focused on because we are living in really perilous times in our churches today. So, again, just to make it clear, what is happening here is I'm scrolling through all this really quick, um, as you can see. Um okay. So, this right here that I have on the screen, as you can see, it's in sections. The section, can I make that bigger? Let's do this. I can hold on, guys. I can make this a little bigger. Um okay, there we go. Perfect. So as you can see, there's sections, right? Section one is going to talk about the beast. Section two is the prequel, right? So you can see here, section three is about prophets, and then I kind of give these little drop downs. Section four is about the church, has apostas. You can see this introduction, the deliverance movement, going into all of this. Section five, I talked very briefly about some false religions. Section six, as you can see by the page numbers, guys, 10 pages on the rapture. These are not long sections at all. And that was not my point of the book. Section seven is Babylon, right? Babylon is Babylon. Uh that shouldn't be bolted. I just noticed a mistake. But anyway, section eight. So you guys see if you want to go to a section, that's why it's not chapters. And that's I wanted to make it very clear that I did not want to do that. The Lord did not lead me to do that. Because if somebody, let's just say, right here, section 11, this right here. Let's just say you're new to the faith or you might be intimidated, you don't know what to do. This section would help you. Like, how can I navigate this? What is the gospel? What is salvation? And then this section here is maybe to help you to deliver answers to other people. And then what I'll show you here, this is the back of the book. Let me go ahead and zoom out. So that right there is the back of the book. Um in the shadow of the Antichrist, I'm asking the false prophet is a deep biblical anchored exploration of end times deception, focusing especially on the false prophet, a figure widely misunderstood and rarely taught in churches. The book blends Bible exposition, historical parallels, and warnings about modern spiritual deception. And then while I'm here, because it's zoomed in, I can that's actually you guys can see the cover a little better there, being that I I zoomed in on the page. But that is why I think the Lord has really taken me on this journey. And guys, when I say that, I am so excited, that is probably an understatement because I had this in mind for many years. And then I had someone who came alongside me on this channel and she encouraged me. She donated large sums of money monthly, and I told her stop doing that. And she was the one that God used to help me get back into writing the book. And then something happened. I don't know what happened, I don't know what took place, but it was in that moment that she literally ghosted me. Um it was probably the worst time in my life. I thought we were friends. I um whatever the case may be. But it was in that moment that I said, okay, well, Lord, maybe you center in my life for that time for me to focus on the book. Um all glory goes to the Lord in all transparency. This this working is not of me. Um the Lord helped me. Uh, I'm not gonna lie, uh I I'm not smart, I'm not a writer, so I needed some help with that. The Lord led me in those directions. Um but the book is biblically sound. It is um, I can just read a snippet here. Um let's see. Sorry for all the clicking. So, for instance, when I give an instruction, or if I'm I'm trying to go to the chapter here, let's just talk about really quick. I can read this super fast and then I'll get offline. So, this right here is basically what the book entails. I'll read this really fast, okay? So, who was the second beast? These scrolls of prophecy center on a shadowy figure mentioned only sparingly in the book of Revelation. The second beast, the false prophet. His name flickers briefly through the pages, and then I quote some scripture. Yet his influence is profound. Perhaps you wonder how could there be so much to say about so little? The answer lies not in invention, but in unveiling, and everything is bolded to kind of bring it to your attention, the depth of scripture and the historical currents swirling around him. With the Bible as our guide and history as our lantern, we begin the journey. Our story draws its richest detail from Revelation 13, 11 through 18, where the false prophet and the FP, because I I got tired of typing, so I I just defined terms here. That's a fancy legal term. Okay, so anyway, where the so when you see FP or AC, you'll know it's Antichrist, false prophet, steps into the light. His fate and judgment appear later in the thunderous closing chapters, Revelation 16, 19, and 20. The full timeline of his rise and fall awaits in later sections, but for now, let's turn to the heart of his story, beginning with the passage where he is first revealed. And then I then just start dissecting scripture, guys. Um, that is the book. And all glory to God. I I just don't know how else to say this, but I am so excited. Thank you guys so much for sticking with me tonight. Pam said great study tonight, Kim. Thank you. Happy you're back. Yay! I'm happy to be back. Um, I really missed you too. Have a great weekend. Congrats on the book, praying for you and the book. I love the cover. I it has hooked me, but I like to read and not edit. You're funny. All right, so I'm going to uh get that over to you, um Lisa, and uh I'll put you know the stuff in the email. Um, but anyway, guys, again, just pray over this that the Lord would do the miraculous in order for me to have the finances, whatever that looks like. I don't know what it's gonna look like. I do not know. Um, that's the thing. I um to publish a book the right way, you guys can Google it. And I'm leery, I gotta make sure some Christian publishers, I don't want to be associated with them um because of the books that they also carry. So the Lord is helping me navigate that as well. Um, it's just a lot, but the book is it's done. It just is now in the the editing and the revision stages. Um so Cheryl, I don't know, but you guys will always be the first to know here. Um because you guys are my family. I you if if if I've never said that, I my earring is really annoying me. Um if I've never said that, I need to I need to make that extremely clear here on this channel. You guys are my family. So whatever I know first, you guys are gonna know. I literally finished the book um today. I put the last period right there and I said, let's go. And the the the costs are a lot, Daniel, to do it properly. Um, they can give you an advance, but then you have to sell the books. And if I can't sell the books and I left oh, I'm left owing. So if I could just pay the publisher, so anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 to publish a book properly. Um you can it can be done cheaper, but within those confines, there's not going to be people behind the scenes checking, re-editing the book. They're gonna format the book, they're gonna put the book the way that a book, they're gonna bind the book. Does that make sense? So they're doing all the work. Um, I give them um the book, and you know, I also have to copyright. I have to copyright the book. I have to think, do I want to use my real name so people can find me, or do I want to use a fake name? And I said, let people find me. I'm gonna use the real name. But the rights have to, everything the book has has got to be copyrighted. Uh, even tonight, you know, if someone stole the screenshot, it's not copyrighted, they can use it. Uh so anyway, there's a lot, there's a lot of cost involved. And the only one who can make that happen is the Lord, you know. I mean, I'll be honest, guys. I I do well, but I'm also single. So, how well do I really do when I don't have a helpmate? You know, and I got rent and car and and bills to pay. Hence the reason I've been pulling away from dishing out so much money for this podcast. Really, the only huge expense is um my wondershare, my video editing software. And that's not going anywhere. So if I have to get a part-time job to keep it, I will. Uh, because that literally is my plumb line. That's my that's my the pulse of this podcast is Wondershare Filmora. But anyway, um a lot goes into a book, Daniel. When I started doing the research, I mean, even to format the pages. And again, you know, I always just see how the Lord connects dots. This job here that I'm at has taught me so much about formatting that I never knew before. And I I I smile because I could just see the Lord connecting that dot. The Lord knew that I was gonna be here in 2026 finishing a book. The Lord knew that I needed to know formatting. How do I do a table of contents? What do you mean? You know, how do I get my defined terms to look proper? Uh, things of that nature. So God knew, and I I just he's a dot connector, he always has been and he always will be in my life. So I'm excited. I'm so glad to share that good news with you. Thank you for staying to the end. Um just pray, you know. Um, there's so much that we need to be doing before the Lord calls us home. And uh man, I just have never been more excited about anything in my life. Um, I mean, of course, the rapture takes precedence over all that, but yeah, it's a lot to do the book the right way, to get it in the stores, all stores, anyone who sells a book. Um, and then when the book is ready to go into print, I would love to do something with us collectively here. And that would be again, you don't have to go on video. Uh, there has to be no voice, but I would really love for all of us to hopefully maybe in a private way, I can set it up here on StreamYard to gather. Again, you don't have to have a video. Um, and we can all collectively come together and pray, not just me praying, but us collectively coming together as a family of the Lord to pray that as it goes out in distribution, um, as you distribute it to people, that um the Lord would move in such a mighty way, and that perhaps the last Gentile um would be saved through this. Uh that's what it's all about. So the Yankees had nothing to do with the book, but the Yankees are playing tonight um two good games tonight and tomorrow with the Dodgers. So, anyway, guys, pick it up, Lord willing. Daniel, you are so funny. Pick it up, Lord willing. Part uh foundational truth number five. Again, just come alongside me, guys, that the Lord would do a financial miracle. And he knows God, see, God knows what I'm praying for for that to happen. And uh, you don't have to know all the particulars because he knows it. Um but this is real life for me, and making sure that people don't go to the place where there's weeping and gnashing of teeth when they thought they were gonna go to the place where Jesus would be. Right? All right, guys, I love you. On that note, I'm gonna end this stream. Um, oh, what I have to do because I have to do this now. Ding dong, ding dong, nelly, nelle, nelle. Uh hold, please. Gotta do all this stuff manual now. I'm not used to manual, okay? Anyway, with that being said, I am going to end here tonight. So until I see you guys here there, or I love you too, Lisa. If uh see you guys here, there or in the air, I gotta do this manual. So bye-bye. Do I even have George anymore? Let's see. Do we have George? Or is yep, even George is gonna have to cost me some money. Can't use any of the stuff on the right-hand panel anymore. Whatever. All right. So, anyway, guys, until I see you here there or in the air, Jesus is coming. Lord willing, I'll see everyone on Friday next week. Bye. Thank you for listening to this week's podcast.
