And it really is good.
I am using the Dream nightly now,
and I've been getting such good sleep.

Despite us having a munchkin

That was a little different.
Even the dream couldn't keep me asleep.

So that would be awesome.
Thank you, Kelly.
That's awesome.
Thank you.
And so let's go to a W's.
uh tozer for the christian
leader sorry uh for april
6th the title is just wait
on god yes I think this is
really important um the
reference is psalm 62 1
that says truly my soul
waiteth upon god from him
cometh my salvation I think
we are the busiest bunch of
eager beavers ever seen in
the religious world
The idea seems to be that if
we are not running in a circle,
breathing down the back of our own neck,
we are not pleasing God.
When Jesus said,
go ye into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature,
Peter probably leapt to his
feet and no doubt scooped
up his hat on the way out.
He was going to go right then.
But the Lord said, Peter,
come back and tarry ye in
the city of Jerusalem until
ye be endued with power from on high.
I heard a Christian leader
warn recently that we are
suffering from a rash of
amateurism in Christian circles.
Christianity has leveled
down and down and down.
We are as light as
butterflies through we flit, flit,
flit around in the sunshine
and imagine that we are
eagles flapping our broad wings.
Sometimes I think the church
would be better off if we
would call a moratorium on
activity for about six
weeks and just wait on God
to see what he is waiting to do for us.
That's what they did for Pentecost.
Lord, this morning, I'll stop for a while,
at least just to wait on God.
I know you're wanting to work, and I,
for one,
am willing to wait this morning
to hear your voice and
discover what it is you
want for me to do today.
Amen.
Stop for a while.
Yeah.
the I mentioned once before
that on the uh is I had
heard the lord say many
times when I first came to
uh to faith uh daughter
walk with me and learn my
ways and it was it was the
way in which he calmed my
spirit when I would get
nervous and stressed about
like what the future held
um I would just remember
those words daughter walk
with me and learn my ways
it's so important because
we're all called but
Are we sent?
Right?
We talked about that before, too,
is that we all have a
calling on our lives,
but has he sent us to
execute the calling?
And it's really important to
know that the timing is right.
And that's not just about, you know,
witnessing to people at the
gas station or at the grocery store.
I'm talking about starting a
ministry or working on
something that we really
believe is a large endeavor for the Lord.
We want to make sure that
the timing is right.
That's the Lord's timing, not our timing.
You know,
there's a popular saying in law
enforcement,
and that is hurry up and wait.
Yeah.
Because you drive to a call
at 100 miles an hour when
it's an active shooter or
something like that.
And cars are coming from all
over the place.
And then you throw your car
in the park and your brakes are on fire.
And then you go running over
to the command post and
look for your position.
And they go,
go over here and take that position.
Go over there and take that position.
And the team over here,
we're going to hold up right here.
And then you're all,
and then you do nothing.
And the reason you do
nothing is because if you
don't stop and wait, somebody will die.
And the goal is, even an active shooter,
is to take people into custody alive.
Right.
But in some cases, you know, not so much.
Not so much.
At least you want the at
least you want the hostages alive.
Yeah.
But again, you can I mean,
sometimes you need to rush right in.
Other times you need to.
OK, let's hold on.
We got to we got to negotiate.
The person gives up.
Sometimes you should rush in
and you don't.
Yeah.
And then you get killed.
But so those are all really important.
But then I want to now say
that how much more
important is it for a
pastor or for even us that
we stop and wait and wait
to listen to God?
We can get into a little bit
of a hurry coming home to
do this devotional from time to time.
Yes.
And I know when that happens,
and you guys could probably
tell sometimes, for me in particular,
is that I didn't maybe have
time to read the devotional.
or even the scripture and I
feel like it's kind of like
disconnected yeah and so I
think that that's really
important that um you know
in all those aspects when
we look at all those things
whether it's as a police
officer or whatever that
there's that that rush to
do something but sometimes
you know you really gotta
pull on the reins and say okay listen
We need to take a moment and
really see what God wants us to say.
I love the example he gave
of Peter where he had given
that commandment to go and
make disciples.
But then he says,
but wait till you get power.
You know,
wait in Jerusalem until you get power.
It is such eternal wisdom.
I'm calling you.
And oftentimes I know I,
I'm not the only one that
many people had this
experience where you hear or see,
you have a sense of the
vision that God has for you,
like the calling that's on your life,
but you have no idea how
you're going to get there.
You have no idea why that's your calling.
Like, and God doesn't give you any clues.
And then you just wait,
you just wait for the
pieces of the puzzle to come together.
And, uh,
Wait till power comes.
It's such a timeless wisdom.
Yeah,
I think that the rush to be a
Christian can cause you to also, I mean,
I'm going to speak for myself again.
My rush to become a
Christian and to be
involved didn't allow me
for so many years to read the Bible.
Isn't that weird?
Like the one thing that you
should have stopped and did that you, me,
should have stopped and- I did.
I stopped and read it.
But I do that all the time.
I mean, it's like that at Home Depot.
I'm going there to buy something,
but I'm not stopping.
I'm going to go down every
aisle until I find it.
I'm not even going to stop
and ask somebody.
I don't go down a single aisle.
Without asking somebody?
Yes.
I first find the first salesperson.
I'm like,
can you tell me where the pain is?
Because I am not walking down every aisle.
No, because I think I can do this.
And I think that's kind of
like the preachers.
I'm a great speaker.
People love me.
I'm so funny.
And you did.
You did pull it off.
That's what's wrong with the church.
He pulled it off.
He's speaking to me.
Sorry, I'm spitting.
It's okay.
It didn't reach me.
But it's hysterical.
I mean, that's not.
I'm so sorry, God.
It's not funny,
but it's just like I wanted
to get out there.
I wanted to be somebody.
I wanted to be a star.
Yeah, I forgot the one important step.
God.
Yeah, read the Bible.
Read his word and see what he says.
I mean, I'm learning so much.
I go, oh, my gosh.
A lot of good stuff in this book.
God was so pissy during Deuteronomy.
Well, I mean, do you blame him?
No.
I mean, man, he was like, you guys,
I'm going to cut your heads off,
you nimwits.
And see, I love that because I feel so,
I know how he feels.
I know how God feels.
Relieved.
Yeah.
He was going to kill people.
He was telling them, hey,
you don't do this.
You don't follow my commands.
I'm going to cut you.
You're not going to eat food.
You're going to have the
locusts come back down on you.
I'm going to kill your firstborn.
somebody did egypt when you
think about numbers every
numbers in one of your
bible and he's basically
when they complain um about
the food actually it's when
the spies come back right
from visiting the promised
land and they're like oh my
god they're giants we're
not going over there wait
did you bring us here to
kill us and god's like you
know what every single one
of you is going to die
I am not letting any of you,
not a one of you,
it gets across except Caleb and Joshua.
The rest of you, you're going to die.
You're actually going to walk in circles.
Did you forget that I split
the sea for you?
It's crazy.
You're afraid of a couple of giants.
It's crazy.
You don't think I could take
care of the giants?
Oh.
Wow, this is so good.
He was pretty intense, God.
Yeah.
It's really interesting what
you learn once you read the Bible.
Oh my goodness.
Is that the truth?
Eternal wisdom.
Hello, Lisa Wood.
Oops, sorry.
Hi, Lisa.
There's my mouse.
And Jan.
Hi, Jan.
Are we going to see you soon, Jan?
Are you coming on the 21st?
Yes.
We have our home church on.
Oh, somebody texted me.
I've got to remember where I did that.
April 21st, Yorba Linda, California.
If you're in the area, please let us know.
Kevin, if you're in the area.
Yes.
He's all the way in the Ann
Arbor Comedy Showcase,
30 miles south of Benton.
I love Ann Arbor.
It's a cute city.
It's actually the only city
in Michigan that I liked.
Are you getting ready to go on stage?
Yeah.
Kelly, just as Kelly says,
11 day trip took 40 years.
Yeah,
but when you see the way he said it
to them, he's like,
I'm literally waiting until you all die.
i can't I can't trust any of
y'all yeah I will make you
all die out here like that
must have been so hard to
swallow and then some but I
mean it was really hard
because some of them went
on top of the mountain and
died because they were
beaten up by the by the
anakin and and moses told
them don't go over there
god's not with you and
they're like we're going
we're going and they were chased
And Moses put up with this
stuff for so long.
Well, he didn't.
He wasn't patient at the end.
He also was pissed.
Slammed his rock on the rock.
He'd had enough to.
He didn't get to go over either.
And his brother's over there, you know,
making a golden calf.
Like, oh my gosh, you guys,
you're so out of control.
It's like me when I ran a
security company.
Like, oh, are you guys really this stupid?
I have to tell you how to do everything.
That was crazy times.
Crazy times, Snooks.
Um, if you are coming on,
and you didn't hear my earlier discussion,
uh,
really appreciate the comments coming
from you guys,
but I know there's more of
you than the regulars that
are commenting here.
So, if you could just say, hi,
let us know where you're
watching from anything
helps just comment about
how great hideous teeth look, um, to, um,
it's the only way to think,
I guess it's just position
to my black top.
But we'd love to hear from you.
That just really helps if
you comment as much as
possible because it really
does help push it out.
Let's get to the scripture.
I didn't put it up.
Hold on.
I took it down to do something else.
There we go.
Psalm 62, one through eight.
For Jonathan, the choir director,
it's a Psalm of David.
I wait quietly before God
for my victory comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken.
So many enemies against one man,
all of them trying to kill me.
To them,
I'm just a broken down wall or a
tottering fence.
They planted top of me for
my high position.
They delight in telling lies about me.
They praise me to my face,
but curse me in their hearts.
Let all that I am wait
quietly before God for my hope is in him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge,
a rock where no enemy can reach me.
All my people trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him
for God is our refuge.
Isn't that good?
David's so eloquent.
And he had all these enemies, right?
And so that's why he's
constantly referring to
them trying to kill him,
because whether it was
fighting with his son or with Saul,
his sin caught up with him.
He had to pay the price for
the poor choices that he made, you know?
But his conversation with God is always,
you know, sometimes it's complaining.
Why have you forsaken me?
Why aren't you answering me?
But it always ends or begins
or is sandwiched in between.
But I know you are my everything.
You are my rock.
I know there's nothing better than you,
Lord.
And it's such, again, great wisdom to us.
Because I'm sure there's
times when all of us in our
lives have experienced this,
where we just feel
overwhelmed by the people
that are against us.
And it can happen.
And interesting,
it's just occurred to me
that it happens often with family.
Same thing or the people
that are closest to us.
And that's the same thing
that happened to David.
His two biggest enemies were one, you know,
his boss that he had served for many,
many years or his son.
So it's sometimes the people
that are closest to us that
cause us the most pain.
And it can be the most painful.
Isn't that true?
And it's interesting.
I was listening.
So Pastor Mark Driscoll of
Trinity Church in Arizona,
one of his elders is Jimmy Evans.
If any of you are familiar
with Jimmy Evans,
who runs the XO Marriage Ministry,
really great story,
just has such an interesting testimony.
But he was teaching people
how to break generational curses.
Um, as the Lord says,
it passes on the sins of
the father to the third and
fourth generation.
And how do we deal with that in our lives?
And he gave the story of how
just these beautiful stories,
very powerful about what
his parents were like,
and then what his grandparents were like.
and how much of that passed down.
And then his wife had the same problems.
But what was super interesting,
and I had never heard it
described this way,
is the problem we have that
we bring upon ourselves by internal vows.
Internal vows.
So you know what an internal vow is?
We grow up a certain way,
and we say to ourselves,
I will never let somebody
do that to me again.
Yeah.
I will never allow somebody
to treat me that poorly,
or I will never allow a man to hit me,
or I will never allow
myself to stay in a
relationship that's miserable.
All those eternal vows we make,
or I will never treat my
children that way because
of what my father did to me.
And so he says the problem
with eternal vows, first of all,
he cites all the scripture
about how God tells us not to make vows.
not to swear oaths.
Our word should be our word.
Our yes is yes and our no is no.
And that they're evil.
And then he gives the example, he says,
the problem with them and
the reason why they're evil
is because that means we
are not allowing Jesus to
be a Lord of that part of our lives.
So in other words, we're saying,
when we take a vow, I will never
I will never allow myself to
be in a relationship where
I'm treated badly.
So the one example he gave is the man said,
I will never allow a woman
to diminish me like my
mother did my father.
And he was so obsessed with this.
He literally kicked his wife,
did not divorce her,
but wouldn't allow her to
live in the house.
And so Jimmy was like,
he was counseling them.
He's like,
what do you mean you don't allow
your wife to live in your house?
He said, I promised.
I vowed I would never let a
woman treat me like that.
And he's like, but it's your wife.
So basically what he's
saying is that when you
don't allow Jesus to be the
Lord over your situation,
then there's areas of your
life you do not hand over to him.
That you don't trust God.
You're like, you know what?
I have these limits.
I have these rules.
And so I will allow Jesus to
be Lord only if it's within these rules.
And he says,
and that's how we get
ourselves into trouble,
is that we end up not
compromising when we should.
We end up not trusting God when we should.
We end up not handing
situations over to God
because we insist on having
control in certain areas of our life.
I thought that was really cool.
Yeah, that's something I had to work up to,
was learning how to hand
things over to him.
It's hard.
Very difficult.
That's better.
Well, that's really important,
which you just said.
I never heard it before.
You got me thinking.
Internal valves.
Yes.
We've talked about that before.
We've talked about them, you know,
and he says it's most
common with people that
have had rough childhoods.
I mean, I'll give you an example.
I'll give our audience a simple one.
Your father was difficult with you and,
you know, didn't come to your games and
uh, you know,
that left such an impression on you.
You said, I, and you've said this,
I will never treat my kids that way.
You make an effort to go the opposite, um,
because of your personal experience.
And so there's all kinds of
situations where each and
every one of us have made
those kinds of vows.
I mean,
I've done it in terms of relationships.
I said, you know,
I will never allow myself
to be in that kind of an
unequal male female
relationship ever again.
Um,
But what Jimmy is saying,
we shouldn't make,
we shouldn't swear oaths to anything.
Yeah.
So.
I hear you.
That's really, you got me.
Deep.
Yeah, you got me on that one.
I love that.
Thanks for bringing that up.
Anything else on our
devotional that you...
i just want to talk about
the conservative civil war
after this whenever we okay
I want to read this this is
from deuteronomy 30 and uh
it I actually put it up on
facebook because it
And it just spoke to me
today and I thought I would
read it to you guys.
And it's about the choice of
life or death.
And what got me was the choice.
And I talked about this with
people all the time.
A lot of the things you do,
the things that have gone wrong,
they've gone wrong because
you've made the wrong choices.
Seems really obvious, right?
But this is really good.
So Deuteronomy 30, starting with 11.
For this commandment which I
command you today is not
too mysterious for you,
nor is it far off.
It is not in heaven that you should say,
who will ascend unto heaven
for us and bring it to us,
that we may hear it and do it.
nor is it beyond the sea
that you should say who
will go over the sea for us
and bring it to us that we
may hear it or do it but
the word is very near the
word is very near you in
the mouth and in your heart
and you may do it can you
read the rest of that my
eyes are getting blurry see
I've set before you today
life and good and death and evil
in this I command you today
to love your god to walk in
his ways and to keep his
commandments his statutes
and his judgments that you
may live and multiply and
the lord your god will
bless you in the land which
you go to possess but if
your heart turns away so
that you do not hear and
are drawn away and worship
other gods and serve them I
announce to you today that
you shall surely perish you
shall not prolong your days
in the land which you cross
over to the jordan to be
To go in and possess.
I call heaven and earth as a
witness today against you
that I set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing.
Therefore choose life that
both you and your descendants may live,
that you may love the Lord your God,
that you may obey his voice,
that you may cling to him
for he is your life and the
length of your days.
and that you may dwell in
the land which the Lord
swore to your fathers, to Abraham,
to Isaac, Jacob, to give to them.
This is the famous passage
of blessing and cursing.
I set today this day blessing and cursing.
Choose today good or evil.
That's awesome.
I think I must have read
that five times this morning.
It's really good.
um yeah just really love
that I think the cat's
purposely terrorizing us in
the closet you can find as
many noisy things he can
step on yes um so what is
it uh what do you think is
happening in our in our
republican oh uh so there's
a big showdown between
candace and ben hmm
um it was all over twitter
um she was arguing with ben
that they needed debate and
she refused to do it on the
daily wire so jeremy the
owner said we will do it
any um any studio anything
you anywhere you want but
he wants it in nashville
and no moderator so they've
agreed really um
unmoderated debate why no moderator
He, she wanted one.
Ben and Jeremy insisted no moderator.
I don't know why they didn't want,
because I guess they didn't
want anyone putting their,
what Jeremy said,
I don't want anyone putting
their thumb on the scale in
either direction.
This is going to be between you and Ben.
Smackdown.
Wow.
WWE.
Yes.
Conservative version.
And they put a poll out, Valuetainment,
his name is Patrick Ben David, PBD,
that's what they call him.
72% thought it was Ben.
I mean, sorry, Kenneth.
Really?
Yeah.
Isn't that interesting?
Even though he's wicked smart.
Wicked smart,
and I think very smart about
his Jewish faith.
Yeah, I'd like to see her.
As far as I can tell,
she's not wicked smart
about her Christian faith.
no I don't know how she's
gonna I don't know how
she'll pull it off but it's
gonna be it should be
interesting and well I
think it'll be I think
what's important it's
important for all of us to
understand from the
perspective of a jewish
person that is very attached to israel
what they consider to be offensive.
And then from the Christian perspective,
what are our roles and
responsibilities to Israel?
And how do famous people see
that in juxtaposition to
what we believe to be the
Lord's instruction?
I think it's a telling conversation.
Kelly, is she talking about me?
Yeah, it's true.
No, Ben.
He's right,
but most people will sign with her.
And that's the problem with
our world today, right, Kelly?
Is that it's just...
At the risk of sounding cliche,
it's just really anti-Semitic.
It really is.
People just are hostile to Jewish people.
I don't care how we want to slice it.
At the end, it comes down to being like,
oh, you're just being ridiculous.
And they're really parsing
his words inappropriately.
They're basically saying...
They're really cutting and
pasting his words really
badly because he's basically,
he's not saying that people
don't have a right to
criticize Israel and its policy.
He's never said that.
um he just says that her
perspective on the fight is
some is one that's too far
from their perspective and
therefore they don't want
her as one of their
commentators that you know
the the repeated comments
have demonstrated a
position that is not in
line with theirs uh let me
ask you this and you know I
love paying attention to
all this stuff and
You pick and choose.
I pick and choose.
But why should our audience
be paying attention to
what's going on between Candace and Ben?
Because it affects our
commitment to Israel.
So most of the people here,
I would presume,
are students of Jack Hibbs.
That's how most people found us.
Who has taught us for many, many years,
as long as any of you have been with Jack,
that we are biblically
obligated to support Israel.
The nation of Israel is God's nation.
We're not talking about the leaders.
We're not talking about the people in it.
We're talking about Israel
as a nation and the Jewish people,
that God had called them out,
as we were just talking about,
as we were just reading.
It doesn't matter how mad he is at them.
It doesn't matter the fact
that they're not in faith.
God, when the Lord Jesus Christ comes back,
he's coming back for the Jews.
You know what I mean?
His bride's already gone.
You believe in the rapture.
We're already gone with him.
for the jews to establish
jerusalem and we better get
along because we're going
to be spending eternity
together yes yes absolutely
um before we end and just
uh and we're not done yet
but make sure in
in the comment section write
uh any prayer requests that
you may have for yourself
or a loved one or a friend
or maybe just somebody that
you ran across that you
knew that you know needs
needs prayer god knows
their name so if you don't
know their name you know
just let us know but write
in the comments what you uh
he says the bible's clear
he uh god will bless those
who bless israel and curse
those who curse israel yes
and um as I mentioned the
other day a lot of people
are arguing this israel is
not god's israel
Which is ridiculous.
It's a ridiculous argument.
It's all about Israel.
It's all been the same Israel.
It's always about Israel.
Everything he said that God
said is going to happen is
happening in those places.
It's happening in those places.
Same place.
You can't remove what's happening.
It's not Israel, California.
It doesn't matter that it's
Netanyahu or it's the
Rothschilds or it's the
Illuminati or it's the Freemasons.
We don't care who's running it.
It matters that the territory,
the land belongs to God.
And it has not been decided yet when.
No, they have not set the date.
It's not because of Israel.
It's because of God.
Great way to say it.
and god is honoring the
covenant he made with
himself yes absolutely hmm
Can't wait for that.
I want to see that.
Right?
Tonight is a big WWE event with Rock.
The Rock is wrestling.
My friend went out there to see it.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
The one that goes, Daniel,
that goes to Uganda.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
He just sent me a post.
He's like,
I got on the news for WrestleMania.
And I was like,
are you at the WrestleMania 40?
And he's like, yes.
I mean, even I want to watch this.
They're playing it at the UFC gym tonight.
The Rock was there.
I know that was a big deal.
Yeah, he's wrestling.
He's wrestling?
Yeah, that's the big deal.
Oh my goodness.
I'm a little mad at him.
I didn't realize that he had
supported Biden.
How did I miss that?
Or did I just put it out of my mind?
Yeah, maybe he didn't pay attention.
Oh my gosh, how ridiculous.
He's a smart dude.
And he's in that world that
they love Trump and they
love conservatives.
Yeah.
And he realizes what he did wrong.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Maybe I just somehow I missed that.
I was busy focusing on other things.
Yeah.
So we have a big day tomorrow.
Yes, we do.
Oh,
our daughter Zara is getting re-baptized.
Yay!
One o'clock tomorrow.
Do we know who's going to be doing more?
No, I don't know who does them.
But Jeannie says it goes super quick.
I hope it would be Josh.
Yeah, that would be cool.
We have too many of those
guys with that kind of name in our lives.
I can never keep them all straight.
Yeah.
Jason, Josh.
But they're pretty prominent in our lives.
I mean, when I put a button in that.
I'm just so horrible with names.
Why am I so bad?
I don't know.
It's my entire life.
Oh, really?
I thought you got older.
no no always been that way
can you balance well on one
foot should I make sure
you're not getting
alzheimer's yes no I mean I
can remember bad guys faces
guys that I've arrested I
would see them out and
about at a restaurant from
time to time and I just
like to keep an eye on them
I never forget a face but
their name some of them I
would remember but I just
certain people's names I
just it's bad it's always
been bad I took classes no
I took classes when I was
like 23 years old
And it worked for a while,
where you would associate
something that they're
wearing or their facial
ticks or something with their name.
So like somebody named Irene,
if she had like a little bit of a,
you know, she leaned a little bit,
like Eileen, Irene, I don't know.
I'd come up with something to make it.
But it's a lot of work.
Because you go, my name is Franny.
And then you'd have to find
something on the body that
would... How does the
association... Remember the name.
So Jason, you want to remember.
Okay, so he's got tattoos.
How does that remind you his
name is Jason?
Because you find something.
Yeah, a rhyme or... Yeah.
Just...
Something that would trigger
the name Jason based on
what you're looking at.
Like,
it looks kind of like he would murder
people.
So Jason from, you know, Friday the 13th.
Isn't that Jason?
Okay, so now you're going to remember.
Yeah, now I remember.
I mean, that's all you really have to do.
Yeah, but it's just, you know,
I'm in my own...
It really is.
I think it's just a selfish thing,
a selfishness.
It's not that important.
Yep.
That's some of my leftover, the old man.
A little bit of the old man
is a little bit of selfishness.
Who's this lady on your feed
that's saying she loves you?
gail yeah we went to high
school together I talked
about gail all the time
what her and bruce I drove
buses with them we went to
yeah interesting she calls
me stranger because we
called each other stranger
in high school oh cute yay
zara kate says psalm 121 my
help comes from the lord
the maker of heaven and earth
Indeed,
he watches over Israel when either
slumber nor sleep.
The sun will not harm you by
day nor the moon by night.
Amen.
Jan's asking,
do they baptize during the service?
No,
they do it at one o'clock in the
courtyard.
And Iris asks if we've seen
the letter to the American church.
My church showed it earlier tonight.
Is it based on his book?
to bat pataskis yeah
matascus yes is it did he
make the movie did he make
the movie I believe so I
didn't even know there was
a movie was it good uh yeah
he mentioned it I mean they
mentioned it I think a
documentary I don't know
necessarily yes yes oops
For the Lord your God is the
one who goes with you to
fight for you against your
enemies and to give victory.
It's also Deuteronomy.
There's a lot of great stuff.
Who knew there was so much
gold in Deuteronomy?
I love the Old Testament.
People don't get it.
I've been loving going through it.
It's amazing.
It says it was very good.
You're going to have to check that out.
Yes.
um I was wondering um kevin
never commented on
Well, he said he's in the showcase,
so maybe he's out the showcase,
so maybe he's busy.
Yeah,
we had a discussion about comedy
because I worked with Kato Kaelin,
who was O.J.
Simpson's roommate when that
night the bad things happened.
But Kato and I worked
together at Bobby McGee's restaurant.
I remember.
And Bobby and Kato was a
very funny comedian.
I am shocked, even to this day,
that he didn't become as big as...
Well, he went into hiding a little.
No,
the reason he ended up at OJ is because
he just never made it.
So he was like living in his back house.
I thought he was dating his wife.
No.
They were really good friends.
But they weren't dating.
I don't believe they were dating.
But also coached Kato's wife
in roller hockey.
funny enough but yeah I
thought he would have he
would have been as big as
uh you know like Steve
Martin or something like
that wow that's how funny
he was so funny at the
restaurant he was like the
favorite people would call
and say can can we sit
where Kato is waiting but
uh yeah so uh Kevin and I
had a whole discussion on
Facebook about it was
really really interesting
he's an interesting guy
that Kevin so what uh what
else is happening there God
doesn't need Biden's help
I don't know where that came from.
What are we talking about?
With Israel, I'm guessing.
Oh, okay.
And also in Deuteronomy 20, he shall say,
Hear, O Israel,
today you are going into
battle against your enemies.
Do not be faint-hearted or afraid.
Do not be terrified or give
away to panic before them.
and it's interesting but
kate I i mean I think if
you were to show them the
scripture they they this is
the argument I heard that
it's not the same israel
I'm like this is the
dumbest thing I've ever
heard I don't understand
how you can argue that
that's not the same israel
because they're like no
that was the old israel and
that's gone now and this
new israel is not the same
israel but he said israel
would be back yeah
And it came back.
I'm with you.
Makes no sense.
You got to tie yourself in
knots to not understand.
So it's just part of the deception.
They listen to pastors that
speak to their itching ears.
Yeah.
right keeping up for
themselves doctrines of
demons I didn't spot any um
prayer requests no all
right yeah kate also says
stupid deception last days
okay so then just general
blessings I think we should
pray for zara for sure the
holy spirit to wash over
her and make her a new
And tell her to stay out of
our bed tonight.
I don't care.
That's perfectly fine with me.
See, my daughter was not.
I thought it was sweet that
she came in and just for
whatever reason just felt
like she needed a. She
didn't want to sleep alone.
A seven hour hug.
Yes.
She literally lied on top of
me for three hours straight
until Andy got up and I got
to squeeze out from underneath her.
But this is essentially a grown woman,
but she didn't get to do
that when she was a kid.
So in all fairness,
for the first ten years of her life,
she did not get to sleep with me ever.
So she occasionally makes up for it.
What ended up doing me in is
that we cuddle when we go to sleep,
when we fall asleep,
but then we naturally
separate because we get hot.
And so what got me was it, you know,
whatever it was.
I was making you hot.
Oh, yeah.
I was like on fire.
I cannot sleep under these conditions.
I didn't even have the
covers on me anymore.
But you were so close to me,
the heat was radiating over to me.
And I was going, my right side is on fire.
So I go, you know what I'll do?
I'll just lie on my stomach.
And I'll go to my cold side.
And then all of a sudden that got hot.
So I go, oh, now I'm on my right side.
So I kept doing the flipping
like a pancake.
Why didn't you just take the
great blanket and go sleep
on our furry couch?
Because I love you.
Because you actually,
what I really loved is that
you touched me in the
middle of the night.
You put your hand on me.
And I go, you never do that.
You used to do that when we
first got married.
But I thought it was irritating you.
No.
Oh, I swear to you,
you shake me off every time I do it.
You go like that every time I do it.
So I stopped doing it.
No.
You literally would be like a little kid.
Get off of me.
I'm going to tell you like Ray tells me.
Make me go to the gym.
If I say no, make me go anyway.
Oh, goodness.
Yeah, but it was a little hot.
It was hot.
It was like 3.30, I think it was.
It was just a little before 4 o'clock.
I just said, you know,
I'm going to get up.
And I got up and came to my desk.
I was hoping at some point
you were going to do your,
I'm going to wake up early.
I got dressed.
I went inside of my desk and
then I got the Bible and I
went to Starbucks.
They opened at five.
So first one at Starbucks this morning.
Nice.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
Let's pray for amazing
things happen tomorrow.
Amen.
Oh, dear Lord.
Thank you.
Thank you for community of believers.
Thank you for the sons and
daughters that we get to do
life with Lord the members
of your body of your church.
None more important than the
other all of us part of.
your ministry here on earth, Lord,
and we're so grateful to be a part of it.
And we want to pray for
everyone to have healing
for their ailments,
whatever they may be suffering from,
Lord.
We know that you have the
cure to every sickness,
and we ask for you to heal
them and to touch them in
the way in which you know
that they need it to calm their spirits.
If they're anxious about
surgery or anxious about recovery, Lord,
that you give them peace
and peace to know that
whatever decision they make,
that you are working
everything for their good, Lord,
for those that are called
according to their purpose
and who love God.
We pray that over them, Lord,
that they will be comforted
by the fact that everything
is working for their good.
uh lord we'd like you to um
we lift up zara to you and
we're so excited that she
wants to be baptized to
acknowledge to the world to
her church family to
herself and um to the
angels that'll be watching
uh that she's dedicating
her life to you and we ask
you to renew her and give her
a right spirit or new spirit
and help to sanctify her,
draw her closer to you, Lord.
All of our children,
bless them and draw them close to you.
Our friends' children,
their loved ones who do not yet know you,
Lord, we ask that they have a miraculous,
a radical encounter with you, Lord,
that lets them know that
you are God and that you
are there to have a personal,
intimate relationship with them, Lord.
We love you.
We honor you.
We offer ourselves as a living sacrifice.
It's in the mighty name of
Jesus that we ask all things.
Amen.
All right, my guys.
My guys.
My friends.
My guys.
We love you.
Thank you.
Have a great Sunday.
Have a great day at church.
It's going to be awesome.
I just know it.
We love you.
God bless.
Amen.
