00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:07.519
Looking at our world from a theological
perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast
2
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:15.439
making Theology Central. Good afternoon everyone. It is Monday, June seventeenth,
3
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:20.440
twenty twenty four. It is currently
two thirty two pm Central Time. And
4
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:26.000
I am coming to you live from. Where Where am I coming to you
5
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:27.960
live from? Do you know?
Do you know? Do you know?
6
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:32.280
From? The Come on everyone,
say it with me. The Theology Central
7
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:38.159
Studios located right here in Abilene,
Texas. Now, as many of you
8
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:43.159
know, we have lots of different
series for this podcast, right, We
9
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.840
have all these different series, and
one of those series is entitled I on
10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.320
Christianity. Now, the whole goal
of that, the whole idea behind that
11
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.719
series was this would contain any episodes
where I turn on the microphone to talk
12
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.600
about what's going on in the Christian
world, right, And that could I
13
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.239
mean, that really can be a
lot of different types of broadcast. So
14
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:08.200
we have that series. It has
a lot of episodes in it, and
15
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.519
I mean, in some ways,
I literally could just dedicate, you know,
16
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:17.959
every day to just the series I
on Christianity. Here's what's going on
17
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.079
in the world of Christianity today.
The Southern Baptist are doing this, the
18
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.640
Methodists are doing this, the Lutherans
are doing this, the Presbyterians are doing
19
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.159
this. This is happening, This
is happening. This book just came out,
20
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:33.120
here's a new Christian movie. Here's
what's you know, the top ten
21
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.079
on the Christian music charts, and
here's what's the top ten Christian books right
22
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.959
now. And here's what's going I
mean, literally, and we could let's
23
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:44.560
review a sermon from this church.
And I mean there's so much we could
24
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.400
do. I mean, you could
dedicate an entire podcast to just Eye on
25
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.159
Christianity, the podcast that focuses and
keeps an eye on what's going on in
26
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.400
the Christian world so that you don't
have to something like that. I could
27
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.159
come up with the tagline, but
so we have that series. How much
28
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.519
time I dedicate to that series?
I'm always debating, because literally, I
29
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.079
could just go to the Christian Post
every day. I could just go to
30
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.400
the different Christian news sites, and
literally I could just broadcast hour after hour
31
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:12.919
after hour after hour after hour.
But that would turn almost into a news
32
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.439
program, and that once that starts, then well forget everything else we do.
33
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.520
But you notice all the other things
we also try to do. We've
34
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.039
got the Sermon's two point oh app
challenge going on. We have the Bible
35
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.039
pop quiz that I've been way behind, but we did one yesterday. We
36
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.759
have all the different things that we're
always worrying, Bible study exercises, which
37
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.439
kind of has this year kind of
turned more into the Sermon's two point oh
38
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.199
app challenge. And we have devotional
messages, and we have messages on hermeneutics
39
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:46.000
and so long gospel series. There's
the variety. I'm always trying different things,
40
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.039
but I do still, even when
I'm not broadcasting, I try to
41
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.680
keep my eye on what's going on
in the Christian world. Because if I
42
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.199
can keep my eye on what's going
on in the Christian world, it gives
43
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.800
us an idea of what's going on
now. But most importantly, or more
44
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.240
importantly, maybe most importantly, it
kind of lets me know where Christianity is
45
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.960
headed. And sometimes wherein I start
looking at where Christianity is possibly headed,
46
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.039
you know, I'm kind of like, well, it was a good run
47
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.639
while it lasted, okay. And
when I say and that doesn't mean the
48
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:23.919
truth of Christianity, I'm saying Christianity
as kind of this corporate body, this
49
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.479
kind of what we see in the
world today. The truth of Christianity.
50
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.280
I'm always going to hopefully maintain my
faith in that and hold on to that
51
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:38.639
Christianity as it is seen as it
is played out in churches and ministries.
52
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.599
When you kind of see the direction
that's going, sometimes you sometimes have to
53
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.520
kind of shake your head and go, I don't know what is happening.
54
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.000
We've talked about the political hijacking of
it, We've talked about philological trends,
55
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.960
doctrinal trends, and sometimes you a
good way to kind of see where things
56
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.960
are going is to try to see
what books are coming out. Right now,
57
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.840
I don't keep up with it as
much as I used to, because
58
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:08.879
used to I spent multiple hours a
week inside Christian bookstores. I mean,
59
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:14.599
I mean my first I think I
went to my first Christian bookstore probably within
60
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.519
the first week of being saved,
and that was the Bible Bookstore on Butternut
61
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.120
Street and Abilene, Texas. The
building is no longer there. It's been
62
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.839
torn down. It's kind of sad. Almost all Bible bookstores kind of disappeared.
63
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:29.560
I mean, how many used to
be in your city? And how
64
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.000
many are there now. But I
used to go every week to the Bible
65
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.399
bookstore, to a Christian bookstore,
I mean, and I would look at
66
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.720
every single thing that was out,
like everything. So I always had an
67
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.279
idea, Hey, that book just
came out. That bookase just came out.
68
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.399
And in many of the Christian bookstores
they would have like our top ten
69
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.120
bestsellers, they would have them all
stacked right up there, maybe at the
70
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.959
front, and so I could keep
track of what people were buying and reading
71
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.399
and what was going on. And
sometimes that was really I was able to
72
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.319
go, Oh, that's the book. We better, we better pay attention
73
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.439
to that, because that thing is
about to become a major issue. I
74
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.399
mean, everyone's going to be talking, everyone's going to be reading it.
75
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:15.040
Sometimes I completely missed it and like, you know, didn't even see it.
76
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.639
Next thing, I know, everyone's
talking about it, and I'd be
77
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:23.360
like, how did I miss that? But it's much harder today to really
78
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.399
keep up. I think. I
think it's much harder. I feel like
79
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:31.279
it's much harder. I also believe
that there was a time that pastors promoted
80
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.639
more books from the pulpit. I
guess some still do that. I just
81
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.439
feel that there was a time almost
every sermon I listened to, Hey,
82
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.399
you should check out this book or
this book and this. Maybe maybe that
83
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.600
seems to have passed, but it's
just harder to keep up with I feel.
84
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.000
Maybe that's not true, but it
just feels like that. And maybe
85
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.560
maybe if I pulled up all of
the different websites and kept track of it,
86
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.879
that way I could. It was
just easier to just walk into a
87
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.759
bookstore while I was looking for books
and like, oh, here's what everyone
88
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.399
is mine. Sometimes I could just
ask the people working there, so your
89
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.519
what's the book that's you know,
everyone's purchasing over the last month or so,
90
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.360
Well, this is the book everyone
keeps looking for, And I'll be
91
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.959
like what is this? Wait?
What? And I'll usually I was baffled
92
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.160
and perplexed and confused and like,
what is happening in the world of Christianity?
93
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.519
Well, I bring all of that
up, because what time was it?
94
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.279
Hang on, let me see if
I can find it. At twelve
95
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:36.399
forty pm. Twelve forty pm,
I get an email. The email subject
96
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:42.199
line is don't miss and I'm like, what am I not to miss?
97
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.879
What am I not to miss?
It? Says don't miss from Joshua Giles.
98
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:53.399
G I l E. S.
Giles. That's how I'm going to
99
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.759
promote it or say it. Could
it be Giles Giles? Okay, all
100
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:04.800
right, Joshua Giles subtitle God is
doing a new thing. Be ready for
101
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:06.639
it. And I'm like, okay, I don't want to miss it.
102
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.680
God is doing a new thing and
I need to get ready for it.
103
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.680
Oh, what is God doing that
is brand new? I need to know
104
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.720
what God is doing that is brand
new. He's doing a new thing.
105
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.120
Now. I have been hearing that. I have heard that kind of phrase,
106
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.959
that phrase frequently in my life as
a christ God is doing a new
107
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.199
thing. God is doing a new
thing, and it always just seems to
108
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.839
feel like it's the same old thing. Right is God is doing a new
109
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.399
thing, and it'd be like and
it just looks like every other day.
110
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.560
But okay, God is doing a
new thing. I don't want to miss
111
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.319
it, but I gotta be ready
for it. So I'm like, okay.
112
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.199
So I look down, I'm like, oh, this is from the
113
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.399
Christian Post. I'm like, okay, the Christian Post. And then underneath
114
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:54.560
it it says this email is sent
on behalf of our sponsor, Baker Publishing
115
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.720
Group. And I'm like, ah, this is an advertisement that's being sent
116
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.759
to me by the Christian Post.
They have a sponsor. Now that sponsor
117
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.560
wants them to promote something. And
if it's a publishing group, then it's
118
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.759
going to be a new Christian book. So I open it up and it
119
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.399
says Chosen, a division of Baker
Publishing Group. And I'm like, chosen.
120
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.279
Okay. First I thought, oh, no, this is going to
121
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.560
be connected to the show. Okay. I'm like, I don't want to
122
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.000
get back into that controversy. Okay, all right. So then I'm like,
123
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.519
okay, no, but that's a
division of Baker Publishing Group. I
124
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.639
don't know anything about this division Chosen. Is it come from the show or
125
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.919
does it have a certain doctrinal bit, you know, kind of a doctrinal
126
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.679
direction. And then it says new
devotional from Joshua Giles and then the book.
127
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:52.840
There's a picture of the book and
it says prophetic Reset forty days to
128
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.759
aligning with God's plan for your life. Oh, they're doing the forty days
129
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:05.840
for that format has been so popular
for a long time in Christian publishing world,
130
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.000
right, forty days forty days devotional
forty days, you know, the
131
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.600
purpose driven life and forty days or
whatever, forty days, this, forty
132
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.679
days, that, forty days,
this, forty days. They love that,
133
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:24.039
that kind of format and thirty days
forty days. And I think they
134
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.759
like it because it gives everyone because
in the Christian publishing world, you know,
135
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.000
small groups still rule the world in
many churches. So if you have
136
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.039
forty days or this or forty days
of that, you can use it for
137
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.639
your small groups. You can use
it so or you can use it for
138
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.679
however. And I think I think
that that that format just works for a
139
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:50.039
lot of people. But it's a
prophetic reset forty days to align myself with
140
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.480
God's plan for my life. So
God has a plan, but I've got
141
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:58.679
to align myself with said plan.
It seems like. Okay. So so
142
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.960
then I look underneath that, hang
on, let me let me go back
143
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:07.159
in there. We go, all
right, So I, yeah, my
144
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.480
page is doing weird things here.
Okay. So underneath that picture of the
145
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.039
book, it says a new devotional
from Joshua Giles that has a picture of
146
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.559
the book. Then underneath that it
says, I gotta refresh this this page
147
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.919
is doing weird things. Okay.
Then underneath that it says God is doing
148
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.720
a new thing. Be ready for
it. So they've emphasized that now twice
149
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.120
God is doing a new thing.
I gotta get ready for it. Then
150
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:35.120
underneath that we read these words,

170
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.399
to consecrate Moses on Syinai and Jesus
in the wilderness, he will use it
171
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:24.360
to consecrate you. Now is the
appointed time for your prophetic Reset. So
172
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.039
I'm like, okay, what in
the world is this? So I'm like,
173
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.200
well, let me let me look
this up. So I found it
174
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:37.320
on Amazon and here's what I found
out. This book will be released tonight
175
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:43.720
at midnight. This book will be
released tomorrow, June the eighteenth, twenty
176
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:50.519
twenty four. They have it on
sale right now for eleven dollars and thirty
177
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.879
nine cents eleven dollars and thirty nine
cents for the kindle, eleven dollars and
178
00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:03.200
ninety nine cents for hardcover. It
is currently the number one best seller in
179
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:11.559
are you ready Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity? It had charismatic written all over it.
180
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.440
Now it's already the number one best
seller in that category. How many
181
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.120
copies does that actually mean? Whistled? I have no idea. Now,
182
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.799
Also, we have to remember there's
some kind of there are also sometimes some
183
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:31.639
very questionable games played in the Christian
publishing world. Right where a church,
184
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.679
like so a pastor puts out a
book, the church will buy a large
185
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.960
number of copies. They will ultimately
hand them out. But by buying a
186
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.240
massive amount of copies at the beginning, then that propels that pastor's book to
187
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.799
number one on the best selling list. So then that then is free marketing.
188
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.440
If it's number one, then are
like, ooh, everyone's like this
189
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.200
is a good book. So then
people go buy the book. But reality,
190
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.720
most of those numbers were purchased by
the church or the minished itself,
191
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:05.200
which is so deceitful, so messed
up. That's not in fact, I'm
192
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.759
not saying that's what happened in this
case. But it's already number one.
193
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:15.159
That means it's number one based off
pre orders. That would be a pretty
194
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.440
big accomplishment. Now I don't know
anything. I don't even know how to
195
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.559
pronounce the man's name. I just
know it's Gils. I want to say
196
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.679
Giles, but it could be Giles. I keep going with Giles. Someone
197
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.799
probably can email me saying you don't
even know. I'm admitting I don't know
198
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.120
anything about the person. I don't
know anything about it, mainly because he's
199
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.879
obviously in the charismatic world, and
I loathe the charismatic world. Have nothing
200
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:39.799
to do with charismatic theology. But
even though I don't agree with it and
201
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.720
despise charismatic theology, you got to
keep an eye on what's going on in
202
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.120
that world. So this book is
out or will be out, and well,
203
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.279
you know, not too many hours
it will be out. I don't
204
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.320
think I'm going to purchase a copy
of it, but I am going to
205
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.159
keep track and see if I start
seeing it showing up here or there.
206
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.600
Now, if I want you to
keep an eye out for it, and
207
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.120
if you keep an if you keep
an eye out for and you start seeing
208
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.039
the book show up here, the
books show up here, or an advertisement
209
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.159
for it, or you know people
who are talking about it. Then let
210
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.960
me know, and then maybe I
have to get a copy and we'll discuss.
211
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.360
I mean, it's going to be
your standard charismatic. I mean,
212
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:26.600
it's just going to be tim play
charismatic man. Charismatic movement is such a
213
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.240
cancer. It's a cancer in Christianity. It needs to be cut out.
214
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.480
It needs to be We need chemotherapy
to get charismatic theology out of Christianity.
215
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.159
It needs to be eradicated, removed. It has no business in the Christian
216
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.600
world. It's I can't stand it. I just can't stand I can't stand
217
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.440
it. All right, So but
here's the again. It's it's the entire
218
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:54.000
title of the book. It's Prophetic
Reset forty Days to align with God's Plan
219
00:15:54.200 --> 00:16:00.080
for your Life again, hardcover and
unkindled. A published publishing date will be
220
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.279
June the eight. Oh, I
can read a sample. Let's read a
221
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.120
sample. All right, let's read
a sample. Here we go. If
222
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.120
you go to Amazon dot com and
look for the book again, Prophetic Reset
223
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:17.879
forty Days to aligning with God's Plan
and for your life you can, you
224
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:22.120
can start looking at it. So
there's the cover lists some of his other
225
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.440
books, Prophetic Reset. All right, here's the copyright material. Here's the
226
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.679
contents. Week one, Refresh,
Day one, a fresh Start, Day
227
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.879
two, bring Me back to You, Day three, get Ready, it's
228
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:41.000
going to rain. Is that the
h the latter rain kind of concept?
229
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.320
I don't know. Day four everything
Great starts Small. Day five, a
230
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:52.120
new season of Harvest. Week two. Day six consecrations, sound the Trumpets.
231
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.279

over the end of a thing.
Day nine crossing over favor and super natural
233
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:07.640
transfer Transfer. Day ten Celebration.
It's revival time. So you can go
234
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.279
through. So each section is broken
down into one week sections. Again,
235
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:17.160
perfect for small groups, that type
of thing. That's that's how these books
236
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.119
really. When you get a book
that churches will start using in their small
237
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.720
groups and that kind of thing,
that's when they start becoming influential, right,
238
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.400
Women's Bible Studies, Men's Bible Studies, small groups, Sunday School club.
239
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.519
That's when. Once you get churches
at large to start purchasing the books,
240
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.240
the books go right on the top
of the best selling list. And
241
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:40.279
then they start becoming massively influential.
I'm not saying this one can have I
242
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.559
don't think it should have wide appeal. I mean, it obviously seems to
243
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:47.839
be straight in the charismatic world.
I hope it doesn't have wide appill because
244
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.720
I wish charismatic, you know,
Christianity would cease to exist. But okay,
245
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:57.079
all right, so here's week one. Let's just see how they handle
246
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:03.319
scripture. Are you ready? Here's
Week one, Day one, A fresh
247
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:11.880
start, Bring us back to you, give us a fresh start. That
248
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:17.920
is supposedly a quote from the Book
of Lamentations, chapter five, verse twenty
249
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.440
one, Lamentations five twenty one.
I'm going to reach down and grab my
250
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:33.480
bible Lamentations five twenty one, Lamentations
five twenty one. We were supposed to
251
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.640
do work in the Book of Lamentations. We never got to it because,
252
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.799
well, our study in Jeremiah took
way too long. Well it didn't really
253
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.960
take away too long, it's just
it took up the entire time that we
254
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.799
were working on it. Lamentations five
twenty one. Turn us back to you,
255
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.880
oh Lord, and we will be
restored. Now that says, bring
256
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.319
us back to you, give us
a fresh start. Now. I just
257
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:02.680
want to make sure we point that
out. Look here, turn us back
258
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.039
to you, a Lord, and
we will be restored. Who is the
259
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:10.440
US and who is the Wei?
Who is the US and who is the
260
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.119
Wei? I guarantee you the US
and the Wi there is not the you
261
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.160
or the me. Okay right,
The US and the WII is not you
262
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.039
and me. The US and the
WII is them. Probably has something to
263
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.799
do with Judah. Babylonian captivity,
probably has something to do with that.
264
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.880
But we'll see how this is handled. Are you ready? Here we go.
265
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:37.000
The author of today's verse is believed
to be Jeremiah, who had been
266
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.960
crying out to the Lord for mercy
because of the things that have been happening
267
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.039
that he had seen happen to the
nation Israel. Okay, I'm gonna stop
268
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.559
right there. I was not expecting
that that is really good. Okay,
269
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:56.519
that is awesome that it acknowledges the
historical context there. Okay, wait,
270
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.160
when it's good, When something is
good, I'm gonna say so. I
271
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.559
like that. That's good. But
what's going to happen here? There was
272
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:07.440
so much calamity. Their land had
been stolen and left in ruins. Children
273
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.160
had been left fatherless, men had
been shamed and hanged, wives were widowed,
274
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.559
and daughters were raped. Our hearts
are sad. Instead of dancing,
275
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.960
we mourn. We feel sick all
over and can't even see straight. Lamentations
276
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:26.119
five fifteen through seventeen, Carrying the
grief of his people, the prophet cried
277
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.480
out in bitter anguish to the Lord, saying, how long will you allow
278
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:33.720
the wicked to prevail and the righteous
to suffer? Maybe you've been in this
279
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:36.920
same place where you've said, Lord, how long will you allow this?
280
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.000
Those who operate wickedly to prosper?
They are corrupt and deceitful. They have
281
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.680
compromised and walked away from your principles, and yet they prosper and all they
282
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:51.720
do now I would just add down
the additional context is those people that were
283
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.640
suffering, though, were not always
necessarily righteous, because the reason they're in
284
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.400
Babylonian captivity in the first place was
because of their unrighteousness. Correct, Okay,
285
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:04.000
but let's go on. It says, maybe you have seen maybe you
286
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:08.119
you have also seen people who faithfully
do what the Lord asks and who lives
287
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:15.200
righteously deal with such deal with much
warfare, one blow after another. How
288
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.039
long, oh Lord, will you
leave us in this place? Is the
289
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.440
bitter anguish from our soul? As
Jeremiah, did, you too, pray
290
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.160
for mercy? Okay, I like
the way I mean, I think that's
291
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.119
a fair application. They were suffering, they were crying out to God.
292
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.839
We can find ourselves and suffering where
we cried out to God. I did
293
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.039
somewhat similar with Psaw eighty three.
Right, So, all right, this,
294
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.960
this is actually much better than I
thought. I thought it was going
295
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.119
to be much worse. But let's
wait and see. Though, Let's wait
296
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.039
and see, hang on, let's
continue. I believe that for you,
297
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:56.720
God's grace and mercy are on the
way. Despite the warfare, resistance,
298
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:02.319
and demonic backlash you've been experiencing.
You have stopped. You have stepped out
299
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:06.079
to do what the Lord gave you
the initiative to do. You have you
300
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:11.519
have remained faithful, You have lived
righteously. Don't ever believe God does not
301
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.720
see you, but also be aware, be sober. The enemy hates the
302
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.039
purpose of God and the life of
the believer. Okay, not not necessarily
303
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.680
a fan of the way that paragraph
is written, because when you say we
304
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:25.720
have lived righteously Do you mean without
sin? Can you? Can you live
305
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:29.039
righteously and yet be sin in your
life? Do you mean we live righteously
306
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:32.720
positionally? Do you mean practically?
All right? Got some issues with it,
307
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.960
all right, but it's like,
hey, basically you can be striving.
308
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.839
I would have written, we strive
to try to follow God and perfectly,
309
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.799
and we can find our times times
suffering and maybe not understanding. Okay,
310
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.920
I could rewrite it a little bit, but okay, I'm not too
311
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.759
bothered yet. Whenever you step out
in faith and obey the Lord, the
312
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.960
hounds of hell will try to come
after you to stop what God is doing
313
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.240
in your life. But there is
good news. The domnic spirits have no
314
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:07.440
authority over you unless you allow them
to. Okay, now that's an interesting
315
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.559
theological perspective. Do demonic spirits that
have no authority unless I allow them to?
316
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.200
So? Can a demonic spirit have
control over a believer who supposedly the
317
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:25.799
child of God is in Christ?
And we can get into a lot of
318
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.200
discussions here. Right as the scripture
says, no weapon formed against you shall
319
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.680
prosper Isaiah fifty four seventeen. Now, when it says, no weapon formed
320
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.720
against you shall prosper? Is that
a verse for you? Or is that
321
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:45.559
a verse for Israel? And if
no weapon formed against me will prosper?
322
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:51.640
Then how do then, how do
we explain any bad thing happening? What
323
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.720
weapons are we referring to? Physical
weapons? Plenty of Christians are killed,
324
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:03.200
spiritual weapons will plenty of Christians sin
and fall? So what weapons are you
325
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:10.640
referring to there? That's Isaiah fifty
I'm going to look it up really quick,
326
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:14.079
Isaiah fifty four seventeen. I would
challenge you to look up Isaiah fifty
327
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:19.200
four to seventeen and find the context. Isaiah fifty four seventeen. Here we
328
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:22.920
go, I'm going the wrong way. Isaiah fifty four seventeen. A couple
329
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:32.119
more pages chapter fifty two. They're
fifty four seventeen, and we read these
330
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:37.000
words. So okay, hang on, if we if we go back to
331
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.640
the beginning of chapter fifty four,
all right, I'm looking here. I'm
332
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.319
just kind of going through chapter fifty
four. We'd have to try to find
333
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:52.279
some kind of context here. Clearly
this is being spoken of, nor shall
334
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.359
my covenant of peace be removed?
Now? See this? I think this
335
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.160
is going to be our reference to
Israel. He's made up, he's made
336
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:04.319
a covenant with all right, And
then it says, no weapon formed against
337
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:07.880
you Verse seventeen shall prosper in every
tongue which raises against you, and judgment
338
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.920
you shall condemn. This is the
heritage of the servants of the Lord,
339
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.319
and their righteousness is from me,
says the Lord. Again, when it
340
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.000
says no weapon, we gotta put
that in some kind of historical context.
341
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.319
You just can't tell Christians, Hey, no weapon against you shall prosper.
342
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.079
Boom, you just died. No
weapon against you shall prosper. You just
343
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.319
fell into temptation. No weapon formed
against you, and you just got discouraged
344
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.880
and depressed, and you just got
angry, and you just committed sin,
345
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.200
and you just got frustrated. What
do you mean, no no weapon formed?
346
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:37.400
Again? Look, what does that
mean? Again? It's just a
347
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.880
verse so ripped out of its immediate
context. All right, they go on.
348
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.839
So, so as you cry out
to God in the midst of your
349
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.559
troubles, I hear him say,
I'm releasing to you a fresh start.
350
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.440
Now, how do you hear God
saying I'm releasing to you a fresh start?
351
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.759
You don't hear God saying that,
because God only speaks to us through
352
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:57.480
his word, and you're yet to
show me in scripture where God is saying
353
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.240
that specifically to you or to me. You've quoted lamentations where God is speaking
354
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:06.000
it to Judah and Babylonian captivity,
and you've given me a verse in Isaiah,
355
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:07.880
which is about Israel. So you've
not yet shown me where God is
356
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.960
saying anything like that to me.
So I don't know why you would say
357
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.519
that you hear God saying that,
because you don't hear God saying that.
358
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.720
God only speaks to us through scripture. So unless you can show me where
359
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.359
it says that in scripture, then
you're just making this up, all right.
360
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.440
I hear him saying, I'm releasing
to you a fresh start. The
361
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:27.799
Lord is bringing you back to himself. He's calling you to a place of
362
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.000
restoration and recovery and a place of
safety so that you can start over.
363
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.640
He knows that this is a season
of your life. Of your life has
364
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:42.079
begun with difficulty. I remember a
particular difficult season in my life that started
365
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.960
off with much warfare. I received
one attack after another. I dealt with
366
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.960
it silently, and with my prayer
partners and those who are part of my
367
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.200
team. We know, of course
that life has its challenges. Sometimes it
368
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:57.559
rains, sometimes the sun is shining. But this time it seemed as if
369
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:02.480
the enemy had stepped it up.
And the days passed and we pressed into
370
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.359
God. More began to hear from
others who were going through similar levels of
371
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:12.240
warfare, attacks and infirmity in their
bodies. Whatever darkness Satan had released in
372
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:17.079
the world the previous season, he
had increased it in this one. The
373
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:19.680
Lord did not let me go too
far in the battle, and the Lord
374
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.839
did not let me get too far
into the battle and into intercession for others
375
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.640
who were also battling, before he
stopped me to say, and now again,
376
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.599
this is what God supposedly says,
all right, here we go.
377
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:36.200
Although this season has started off badly, I'm going to turn the page and
378
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:40.000
release a fresh start. So now
we have, of course, direct revelation
379
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.160
from God outside of the Bible.
Again, this is where I don't ever
380
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.759
want to be mean to charismatics.
But when you tell me God is talking
381
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:55.319
to you, that just makes it's
crazy. You destroy the authority of Bible.
382
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.640
The Bible is no longer even unique? Why even read it? God
383
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:02.559
is talking directly to you? Why
read? Why study? No, it's
384
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:04.920
just Oh, the whole thing drives
me crazy. God only speaks to us
385
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.839
through his word. The end,
the end. No more stop telling me
386
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:14.000
God said something to you unless you
quote scripture. And in some of those
387
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:17.359
scriptures you quote, that's not God
saying anything to you. That was God
388
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:21.480
saying something to them. So then
we have to figure out how it possibly
389
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:26.480
applies to us. I can't.
I hate that all right. Whenever we
390
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.039
come to a place where we sense
that God is leading us into a new
391
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.240
season in our lives, we should
take the time to assess what has happened
392
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.599
since the last turning point. We
should wait for a prophetic word or give
393
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.160
language to what we hear the Lord
saying. No, you shouldn't wait for
394
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:44.240
a prophetic word. You should read
your Bible. No, you don't give
395
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:47.640
language to what you hear the Lord
saying. You simply repeat what God has
396
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:52.000
said in his word. The phrase
fresh start that God used to prophetically define
397
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.119
the next moment means that God is
going to hit the reset button and the
398
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.519
new leg of your journey will be
as if you're starting the a whole new
399
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:06.160
season. With this fresh start,
you are entering another sphere of influence,
400
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:10.359
another door. Opportunities are beginning to
open for you right now. You will
401
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.720
not be pigeonholed into the place that
you have been. You will not remain
402
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.720
stuck at the level you have been
on. That sounds to me like a
403
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:21.119
horoscope. It's just pure speculation.
He has no idea at all. He
404
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:25.200
can't say that this person cannot see
this to anybody else. He has no
405
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:27.759
idea what God is or isn't going
to do for anyone. That's just not
406
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:33.759
true. As you start fresh with
God, I decree that glory will return
407
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.200
to Zion. What does that even
mean? Regardless of how things were going
408
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.880
in the past, You will enter
a period of celebration. You will dance
409
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:44.599
during famine. You will rejoice in
the midst of chaos. You will shout
410
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.480
and give praise to God amidst all
the things you're going that's going on around
411
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.400
you. Decree this over the season, over your day to day. Look
412
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.880
for the small victories, look for
the small wins, Look for God's favor,
413
00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:59.799
look for the ways in which He
is restoring you, and declare that
414
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.880
is this celebration time, you have
entered a season of new harvest. That's
415
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:11.839
just all just words, just meaningless
words that you don't know any of that's
416
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:14.920
going to happen. What do you
mean declare it? Declaring it so doesn't
417
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.079
make it so unless this is a
very much a word of faith concept.
418
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.680
Renew your mind with fresh perspectives and
don't allow the enemy to steal your joy
419
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:29.480
or your praise. Set your mind
and spirit towards celebration. Will there still
420
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:32.839
be a tax and chaos, Yes, Jesus said in the world you will
421
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.799
have trouble, But take heart,
I have overcome the world. So no
422
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:38.680
matter how grim things look around you, use your eyes of faith and rejoice
423
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.200
in the midst of it. Decree
God is giving me a fresh start.
424
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:47.559
This is fascinating because this literally is
the opposite of what I tried to teach
425
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:52.759
yesterday with Psalm eighty three. We
put our faith in God, and we
426
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.920
trust in God, not because He's
going to make everything right, and we
427
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.240
can dance during famine and we can
celebrate, and everything's gonna be great,
428
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.519
and He's gonna give me a fresh
start, and I'm not gonna be pigeonholed
429
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.759
and he's going to open a door
and he's gonna set me free. No,
430
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.400
when we are facing horrible difficulties,
we put our faith in God because
431
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:17.440
he is God, and it's irregardless
of what he will or may not do.
432
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:21.240
We don't look to God to fix
everything. We look to God because
433
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:26.440
he is God, and he may
not fix anything. The cancer may not
434
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:33.039
go away, your mom may still
die, your father may still die,
435
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:41.880
your child may not be found.
The abuse may not stop. This is
436
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:48.039
the direct opposite of what I was
trying to teach yesterday, the direct opposite
437
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:56.599
that just drives me. That just
drives me crazy. Have faith and believe
438
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.640
that God will help. He will
can tell you you will continue to be
439
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:05.240
effective in his assignment of the Lord
on your life. You will see the
440
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.240
hand of the Lord move no matter
how dark it gets. Set your heart
441
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.160
to rejoice anyway. So the idea
is you're putting your faith in trust in
442
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:16.160
God because He's going to fix everything. That is an absolute philological recipe to
443
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:21.039
lead people to the pit of utter, complete despair, or they have to
444
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:27.279
start pretending everything is great when it's
clearly not. Then he goes on to
445
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:32.119
say I decree everything in your life
is about to change for the better.
446
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:39.400
How can this person make such a
decree? Everything in my life is about
447
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.160
to change for the better. Everything
in my life, well, I've got
448
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:46.000
some specific things I need you to
change, very specific. Now you said
449
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:49.680
it's going to happen. Do I
get my money back if I buy this
450
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.960
book and this doesn't work out.
I'm sharing with you what I sensed from
451
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:57.240
heaven in my time of prayer regarding
what the Holy Spirit is doing right now.
452
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.559
Everything in your life is about to
change for the better. As you
453
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:02.440
yield to the wild of God in
your life, as you listen for the
454
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:07.039
leading of the whole experience, you
will experience a fresh start. He's literally
455
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.559
promising everyone who reads the book that
everything in their life is going to get
456
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:16.720
better. We know that's not true. This is the time to lean in
457
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:22.440
and start again, to launch out
again. I know you tried it before
458
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.279
and it didn't work, but you
will accomplish it this time. I know
459
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:29.279
you built something and it got knocked
down. The enemy came after it,
460
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:31.319
and you experienced loss. But the
Lord says that you must build it again,
461
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:35.960
start fresh, and this time the
momentum of God is going to be
462
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:39.079
with you. You're going to see
a spiritual momentum that will build in your
463
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:50.839
favor. Wow. I almost want
to sue the publisher for spiritual malpractice.
464
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.119
That's like a doctor telling you,
hey, everything's gonna get better, everything's
465
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:58.240
gonna wa Hey. I know you've
been suffering with cancer, but just wait,
466
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:00.000
just wait, wait, God is
on your side and he's gonna build
467
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:04.519
momentum and everything's gonna get better.
Just to create, and then the person
468
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.599
comes back six months later like I'm
about to die. I got about a
469
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:15.159
month to live. You're a liar
doctor. That's that's spiritual malpractice. That's
470
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:21.519
just absolute deceitful lies that that is
not true. You cannot say that that
471
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.960
God is telling telling him everyone who
reads this book this, this is just
472
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:34.039
not true. People who people who
are alive today will possibly die and suffer
473
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:44.679
horrible things over the next six months. Oh that makes me want to throw
474
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:50.920
my iPad across the room. Now, the one thing I will say positive
475
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.880
about this, that is much longer
devotional entry than you typically get typically get
476
00:34:54.880 --> 00:35:00.719
in books. So I do apply
that that's much longer entry. Typically you
477
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:05.440
get like a paragraph or so.
He definitely wrote much longer but then look
478
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:09.519
at how the scriptures were handled.
Now, he did offer a little bit
479
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:15.280
of historical context to limitations, but
then immediately made it about us. He
480
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:22.639
provided no context to Isaiah and literally
made it about us. And then he
481
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:28.159
goes forth and supposedly hears from God
outside of the Bible, and then supposedly
482
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:34.039
here's God and then speaks to us
and makes promises that we just know are
483
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.000
not true. It's just flattered.
That chapter is just a flat out lie.
484
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.360
He cannot decree those things to be
true of your life or my life.
485
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:53.760
He cannot. So the name of
the book is a prophetic Reset forty
486
00:35:53.840 --> 00:36:00.760
days to aligning with God. Let
me read this story. Prophetic Reset forty
487
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:07.239
days to aligning with God's Plan for
your life by Joshua g I L E
488
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:15.719
S. I'm gonna go Giles g
I L E S. That's from Baker
489
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:20.840
Publishing Group, and then it's from
Chosen, which is a division of Baker
490
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:28.920
Publishing Group. That book comes out
midnight tonight. You've heard the first chapter.
491
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:38.519
That is the that is a segment
of Christianity right there. That's very
492
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:44.639
much in the charismatic world that I
reject, condemn and if I'm telling you
493
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:47.960
I would choose to meet with a
group of atheists before I met with a
494
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:52.679
group of charismatics. It's just that's
that's how much I despise. I don't
495
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:57.320
even see it as as an authentic
form of Christianity in any way, shape
496
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:00.079
or form. It's not an alternative, it's not it's not an option.
497
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:04.119
No, I would I would rather. I would rather meet with a team
498
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.760
of group of Satanists than I would
with than before I met with charismatics.
499
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:12.599
I think charismatic, I think,
and when you see they worship, say
500
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:16.440
Satanism is a worship of self,
Okay, And I think charismatic theology is
501
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:22.159
deluded by actual satan Satanists are just
they just worshiped themselves. Or Charismatics think
502
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.599
they worshiped God, but they've been
completely deceived by Satan himselves. I think
503
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:36.320
it's demonic and just completely heretical that
that to tell everyone things are going to
504
00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:38.159
get better, things are gonna get
better, Everything's going to be amazing things.
505
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:42.280
God's about to change your life for
the better. It sounds like a
506
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:51.480
horoscope. In fact, horoscope probably
more accurate. Well, there you have
507
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.159
it. The goal here was simple, just to tell you about the book.
508
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:55.639
I didn't know. I forgot.
I didn't even realize we're gonna have
509
00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:59.800
the opportunity to read a chapter,
so we at least got a little extra
510
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:01.119
in. I just wanted you to
be aware of it, so you keep
511
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:05.039
your eye out for it. If
you start seeing it show up in different
512
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:07.559
places, let me know where.
How if you hear people are reading it,
513
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:12.320
let me know who. And if
you find out people are reading it
514
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.599
who don't go to charismatic churches,
that's always the thing that that's the thing
515
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:19.920
that always just like WHOA, what
is going on? Going on? Going
516
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:24.320
on going on? Because I get
really worried. Then it's like non charismatics
517
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:30.159
picking up this charismatic heresy and then
reading it and then start becoming influenced by
518
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:35.000
it. And you have a lot
of non charismatic churches who sound very charismatic
519
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:39.480
because obviously the leadership is being influenced
by charismatic books and theology. All right,
520
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:44.440
you can email me news I F

1
00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:07.519
Looking at our world from a theological
perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast
2
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:15.439
making Theology Central. Good afternoon everyone. It is Monday, June seventeenth,
3
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:20.440
twenty twenty four. It is currently
two thirty two pm Central Time. And
4
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:26.000
I am coming to you live from. Where Where am I coming to you
5
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:27.960
live from? Do you know?
Do you know? Do you know?
6
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:32.280
From? The Come on everyone,
say it with me. The Theology Central
7
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:38.159
Studios located right here in Abilene,
Texas. Now, as many of you
8
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:43.159
know, we have lots of different
series for this podcast, right, We
9
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.840
have all these different series, and
one of those series is entitled I on
10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.320
Christianity. Now, the whole goal
of that, the whole idea behind that
11
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.719
series was this would contain any episodes
where I turn on the microphone to talk
12
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.600
about what's going on in the Christian
world, right, And that could I
13
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.239
mean, that really can be a
lot of different types of broadcast. So
14
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:08.200
we have that series. It has
a lot of episodes in it, and
15
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.519
I mean, in some ways,
I literally could just dedicate, you know,
16
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:17.959
every day to just the series I
on Christianity. Here's what's going on
17
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.079
in the world of Christianity today.
The Southern Baptist are doing this, the
18
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.640
Methodists are doing this, the Lutherans
are doing this, the Presbyterians are doing
19
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.159
this. This is happening, This
is happening. This book just came out,
20
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:33.120
here's a new Christian movie. Here's
what's you know, the top ten
21
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.079
on the Christian music charts, and
here's what's the top ten Christian books right
22
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.959
now. And here's what's going I
mean, literally, and we could let's
23
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:44.560
review a sermon from this church.
And I mean there's so much we could
24
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.400
do. I mean, you could
dedicate an entire podcast to just Eye on
25
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:51.159
Christianity, the podcast that focuses and
keeps an eye on what's going on in
26
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.400
the Christian world so that you don't
have to something like that. I could
27
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.159
come up with the tagline, but
so we have that series. How much
28
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.519
time I dedicate to that series?
I'm always debating, because literally, I
29
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.079
could just go to the Christian Post
every day. I could just go to
30
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.400
the different Christian news sites, and
literally I could just broadcast hour after hour
31
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:12.919
after hour after hour after hour.
But that would turn almost into a news
32
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.439
program, and that once that starts, then well forget everything else we do.
33
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.520
But you notice all the other things
we also try to do. We've
34
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.039
got the Sermon's two point oh app
challenge going on. We have the Bible
35
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.039
pop quiz that I've been way behind, but we did one yesterday. We
36
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.759
have all the different things that we're
always worrying, Bible study exercises, which
37
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.439
kind of has this year kind of
turned more into the Sermon's two point oh
38
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.199
app challenge. And we have devotional
messages, and we have messages on hermeneutics
39
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:46.000
and so long gospel series. There's
the variety. I'm always trying different things,
40
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.039
but I do still, even when
I'm not broadcasting, I try to
41
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.680
keep my eye on what's going on
in the Christian world. Because if I
42
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.199
can keep my eye on what's going
on in the Christian world, it gives
43
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.800
us an idea of what's going on
now. But most importantly, or more
44
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.240
importantly, maybe most importantly, it
kind of lets me know where Christianity is
45
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.960
headed. And sometimes wherein I start
looking at where Christianity is possibly headed,
46
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.039
you know, I'm kind of like, well, it was a good run
47
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.639
while it lasted, okay. And
when I say and that doesn't mean the
48
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:23.919
truth of Christianity, I'm saying Christianity
as kind of this corporate body, this
49
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.479
kind of what we see in the
world today. The truth of Christianity.
50
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.280
I'm always going to hopefully maintain my
faith in that and hold on to that
51
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:38.639
Christianity as it is seen as it
is played out in churches and ministries.
52
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.599
When you kind of see the direction
that's going, sometimes you sometimes have to
53
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.520
kind of shake your head and go, I don't know what is happening.
54
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.000
We've talked about the political hijacking of
it, We've talked about philological trends,
55
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.960
doctrinal trends, and sometimes you a
good way to kind of see where things
56
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.960
are going is to try to see
what books are coming out. Right now,
57
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.840
I don't keep up with it as
much as I used to, because
58
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:08.879
used to I spent multiple hours a
week inside Christian bookstores. I mean,
59
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:14.599
I mean my first I think I
went to my first Christian bookstore probably within
60
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.519
the first week of being saved,
and that was the Bible Bookstore on Butternut
61
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.120
Street and Abilene, Texas. The
building is no longer there. It's been
62
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:27.839
torn down. It's kind of sad. Almost all Bible bookstores kind of disappeared.
63
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:29.560
I mean, how many used to
be in your city? And how
64
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.000
many are there now. But I
used to go every week to the Bible
65
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.399
bookstore, to a Christian bookstore,
I mean, and I would look at
66
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.720
every single thing that was out,
like everything. So I always had an
67
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.279
idea, Hey, that book just
came out. That bookase just came out.
68
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.399
And in many of the Christian bookstores
they would have like our top ten
69
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.120
bestsellers, they would have them all
stacked right up there, maybe at the
70
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.959
front, and so I could keep
track of what people were buying and reading
71
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.399
and what was going on. And
sometimes that was really I was able to
72
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.319
go, Oh, that's the book. We better, we better pay attention
73
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.439
to that, because that thing is
about to become a major issue. I
74
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.399
mean, everyone's going to be talking, everyone's going to be reading it.
75
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:15.040
Sometimes I completely missed it and like, you know, didn't even see it.
76
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.639
Next thing, I know, everyone's
talking about it, and I'd be
77
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:23.360
like, how did I miss that? But it's much harder today to really
78
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.399
keep up. I think. I
think it's much harder. I feel like
79
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:31.279
it's much harder. I also believe
that there was a time that pastors promoted
80
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.639
more books from the pulpit. I
guess some still do that. I just
81
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.439
feel that there was a time almost
every sermon I listened to, Hey,
82
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.399
you should check out this book or
this book and this. Maybe maybe that
83
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.600
seems to have passed, but it's
just harder to keep up with I feel.
84
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.000
Maybe that's not true, but it
just feels like that. And maybe
85
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.560
maybe if I pulled up all of
the different websites and kept track of it,
86
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.879
that way I could. It was
just easier to just walk into a
87
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.759
bookstore while I was looking for books
and like, oh, here's what everyone
88
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.399
is mine. Sometimes I could just
ask the people working there, so your
89
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.519
what's the book that's you know,
everyone's purchasing over the last month or so,
90
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.360
Well, this is the book everyone
keeps looking for, And I'll be
91
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.959
like what is this? Wait?
What? And I'll usually I was baffled
92
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.160
and perplexed and confused and like,
what is happening in the world of Christianity?
93
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.519
Well, I bring all of that
up, because what time was it?
94
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.279
Hang on, let me see if
I can find it. At twelve
95
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:36.399
forty pm. Twelve forty pm,
I get an email. The email subject
96
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:42.199
line is don't miss and I'm like, what am I not to miss?
97
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.879
What am I not to miss?
It? Says don't miss from Joshua Giles.
98
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:53.399
G I l E. S.
Giles. That's how I'm going to
99
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.759
promote it or say it. Could
it be Giles Giles? Okay, all
100
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:04.800
right, Joshua Giles subtitle God is
doing a new thing. Be ready for
101
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:06.639
it. And I'm like, okay, I don't want to miss it.
102
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.680
God is doing a new thing and
I need to get ready for it.
103
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.680
Oh, what is God doing that
is brand new? I need to know
104
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.720
what God is doing that is brand
new. He's doing a new thing.
105
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.120
Now. I have been hearing that. I have heard that kind of phrase,
106
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.959
that phrase frequently in my life as
a christ God is doing a new
107
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.199
thing. God is doing a new
thing, and it always just seems to
108
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.839
feel like it's the same old thing. Right is God is doing a new
109
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.399
thing, and it'd be like and
it just looks like every other day.
110
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.560
But okay, God is doing a
new thing. I don't want to miss
111
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.319
it, but I gotta be ready
for it. So I'm like, okay.
112
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.199
So I look down, I'm like, oh, this is from the
113
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.399
Christian Post. I'm like, okay, the Christian Post. And then underneath
114
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:54.560
it it says this email is sent
on behalf of our sponsor, Baker Publishing
115
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.720
Group. And I'm like, ah, this is an advertisement that's being sent
116
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.759
to me by the Christian Post.
They have a sponsor. Now that sponsor
117
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.560
wants them to promote something. And
if it's a publishing group, then it's
118
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.759
going to be a new Christian book. So I open it up and it
119
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.399
says Chosen, a division of Baker
Publishing Group. And I'm like, chosen.
120
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.279
Okay. First I thought, oh, no, this is going to
121
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.560
be connected to the show. Okay. I'm like, I don't want to
122
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.000
get back into that controversy. Okay, all right. So then I'm like,
123
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.519
okay, no, but that's a
division of Baker Publishing Group. I
124
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.639
don't know anything about this division Chosen. Is it come from the show or
125
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.919
does it have a certain doctrinal bit, you know, kind of a doctrinal
126
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.679
direction. And then it says new
devotional from Joshua Giles and then the book.
127
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:52.840
There's a picture of the book and
it says prophetic Reset forty days to
128
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.759
aligning with God's plan for your life. Oh, they're doing the forty days
129
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:05.840
for that format has been so popular
for a long time in Christian publishing world,
130
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.000
right, forty days forty days devotional
forty days, you know, the
131
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.600
purpose driven life and forty days or
whatever, forty days, this, forty
132
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.679
days, that, forty days,
this, forty days. They love that,
133
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:24.039
that kind of format and thirty days
forty days. And I think they
134
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.759
like it because it gives everyone because
in the Christian publishing world, you know,
135
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.000
small groups still rule the world in
many churches. So if you have
136
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.039
forty days or this or forty days
of that, you can use it for
137
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.639
your small groups. You can use
it so or you can use it for
138
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.679
however. And I think I think
that that that format just works for a
139
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:50.039
lot of people. But it's a
prophetic reset forty days to align myself with
140
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.480
God's plan for my life. So
God has a plan, but I've got
141
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:58.679
to align myself with said plan.
It seems like. Okay. So so
142
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.960
then I look underneath that, hang
on, let me let me go back
143
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:07.159
in there. We go, all
right, So I, yeah, my
144
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.480
page is doing weird things here.
Okay. So underneath that picture of the
145
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.039
book, it says a new devotional
from Joshua Giles that has a picture of
146
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.559
the book. Then underneath that it
says, I gotta refresh this this page
147
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.919
is doing weird things. Okay.
Then underneath that it says God is doing
148
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.720
a new thing. Be ready for
it. So they've emphasized that now twice
149
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.120
God is doing a new thing.
I gotta get ready for it. Then
150
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:35.120
underneath that we read these words,
join Prophetic Leader. Oh we have a
151
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.799

have a feeling this is somewhere in the

154
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.440

the charismatic world. It has to be
155
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:56.919

Pastor Joshua Giles for a forty day journey

170
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.399
to consecrate Moses on Syinai and Jesus
in the wilderness, he will use it
171

to consecrate you. Now is the
appointed time for your prophetic Reset. So
172
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.039
I'm like, okay, what in
the world is this? So I'm like,
173
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.200
well, let me let me look
this up. So I found it
174
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:37.320
on Amazon and here's what I found
out. This book will be released tonight
175
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:43.720
at midnight. This book will be
released tomorrow, June the eighteenth, twenty
176
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:50.519
twenty four. They have it on
sale right now for eleven dollars and thirty
177
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.879
nine cents eleven dollars and thirty nine
cents for the kindle, eleven dollars and
178
00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:03.200
ninety nine cents for hardcover. It
is currently the number one best seller in
179
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:11.559
are you ready Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity? It had charismatic written all over it.
180
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.440
Now it's already the number one best
seller in that category. How many
181
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.120
copies does that actually mean? Whistled? I have no idea. Now,
182
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.799
Also, we have to remember there's
some kind of there are also sometimes some
183
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:31.639
very questionable games played in the Christian
publishing world. Right where a church,
184
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.679
like so a pastor puts out a
book, the church will buy a large
185
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.960
number of copies. They will ultimately
hand them out. But by buying a
186
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.240
massive amount of copies at the beginning, then that propels that pastor's book to
187
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.799
number one on the best selling list. So then that then is free marketing.
188
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.440
If it's number one, then are
like, ooh, everyone's like this
189
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.200
is a good book. So then
people go buy the book. But reality,
190
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.720
most of those numbers were purchased by
the church or the minished itself,
191
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:05.200
which is so deceitful, so messed
up. That's not in fact, I'm
192
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.759
not saying that's what happened in this
case. But it's already number one.
193
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:15.159
That means it's number one based off
pre orders. That would be a pretty
194
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.440
big accomplishment. Now I don't know
anything. I don't even know how to
195
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.559
pronounce the man's name. I just
know it's Gils. I want to say
196
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.679
Giles, but it could be Giles. I keep going with Giles. Someone
197
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.799
probably can email me saying you don't
even know. I'm admitting I don't know
198
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.120
anything about the person. I don't
know anything about it, mainly because he's
199
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.879
obviously in the charismatic world, and
I loathe the charismatic world. Have nothing
200
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:39.799
to do with charismatic theology. But
even though I don't agree with it and
201
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.720
despise charismatic theology, you got to
keep an eye on what's going on in
202
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.120
that world. So this book is
out or will be out, and well,
203
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.279
you know, not too many hours
it will be out. I don't
204
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.320
think I'm going to purchase a copy
of it, but I am going to
205
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.159
keep track and see if I start
seeing it showing up here or there.
206
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.600
Now, if I want you to
keep an eye out for it, and
207
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.120
if you keep an if you keep
an eye out for and you start seeing
208
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.039
the book show up here, the
books show up here, or an advertisement
209
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.159
for it, or you know people
who are talking about it. Then let
210
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.960
me know, and then maybe I
have to get a copy and we'll discuss.
211
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.360
I mean, it's going to be
your standard charismatic. I mean,
212
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:26.600
it's just going to be tim play
charismatic man. Charismatic movement is such a
213
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.240
cancer. It's a cancer in Christianity. It needs to be cut out.
214
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.480
It needs to be We need chemotherapy
to get charismatic theology out of Christianity.
215
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.159
It needs to be eradicated, removed. It has no business in the Christian
216
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.600
world. It's I can't stand it. I just can't stand I can't stand
217
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.440
it. All right, So but
here's the again. It's it's the entire
218
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:54.000
title of the book. It's Prophetic

00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.440

228
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:41.000
going to rain. Is that the

transfer Transfer. Day ten Celebration.
It's revival time. So you can go
234
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.279
through. So each section is broken
down into one week sections. Again,
235
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:17.160
perfect for small groups, that type
of thing. That's that's how these books
236
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.119
really. When you get a book
that churches will start using in their small
237
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.720
groups and that kind of thing,
that's when they start becoming influential, right,
238
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.400
Women's Bible Studies, Men's Bible Studies, small groups, Sunday School club.
239
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.519
That's when. Once you get churches
at large to start purchasing the books,
240
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.240
the books go right on the top
of the best selling list. And
241
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:40.279
then they start becoming massively influential.
I'm not saying this one can have I
242
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.559
don't think it should have wide appeal. I mean, it obviously seems to
243
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:47.839
be straight in the charismatic world.
I hope it doesn't have wide appill because
244
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.720
I wish charismatic, you know,
Christianity would cease to exist. But okay,
245
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:57.079
all right, so here's week one. Let's just see how they handle
246
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:03.319
scripture. Are you ready? Here's
Week one, Day one, A fresh
247
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:11.880
start, Bring us back to you, give us a fresh start. That
248
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:17.920
is supposedly a quote from the Book
of Lamentations, chapter five, verse twenty
249
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.440
one, Lamentations five twenty one.
I'm going to reach down and grab my
250
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:33.480
bible Lamentations five twenty one, Lamentations
five twenty one. We were supposed to
251
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.640
do work in the Book of Lamentations. We never got to it because,
252
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.799
well, our study in Jeremiah took
way too long. Well it didn't really
253
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.960
take away too long, it's just
it took up the entire time that we
254
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.799
were working on it. Lamentations five
twenty one. Turn us back to you,
255
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.880
oh Lord, and we will be
restored. Now that says, bring
256
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.319
us back to you, give us
a fresh start. Now. I just
257
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:02.680
want to make sure we point that
out. Look here, turn us back
258
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.039
to you, a Lord, and
we will be restored. Who is the
259
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:10.440
US and who is the Wei?
Who is the US and who is the
260
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.119
Wei? I guarantee you the US
and the Wi there is not the you
261
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.160
or the me. Okay right,
The US and the WII is not you
262
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.039
and me. The US and the
WII is them. Probably has something to
263
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.799
do with Judah. Babylonian captivity,
probably has something to do with that.
264
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.880
But we'll see how this is handled. Are you ready? Here we go.
265
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:37.000
The author of today's verse is believed
to be Jeremiah, who had been
266
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.960
crying out to the Lord for mercy
because of the things that have been happening
267
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.039
that he had seen happen to the
nation Israel. Okay, I'm gonna stop
268
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.559
right there. I was not expecting
that that is really good. Okay,
269
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:56.519
that is awesome that it acknowledges the
historical context there. Okay, wait,
270
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.160
when it's good, When something is
good, I'm gonna say so. I
271
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.559
like that. That's good. But
what's going to happen here? There was
272
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:07.440
so much calamity. Their land had
been stolen and left in ruins. Children
273
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.160
had been left fatherless, men had
been shamed and hanged, wives were widowed,
274
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.559
and daughters were raped. Our hearts
are sad. Instead of dancing,
275
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.960
we mourn. We feel sick all
over and can't even see straight. Lamentations
276
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:26.119
five fifteen through seventeen, Carrying the
grief of his people, the prophet cried
277
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.480
out in bitter anguish to the Lord, saying, how long will you allow
278
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:33.720
the wicked to prevail and the righteous
to suffer? Maybe you've been in this
279
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:36.920
same place where you've said, Lord, how long will you allow this?
280
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.000
Those who operate wickedly to prosper?
They are corrupt and deceitful. They have
281
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.680
compromised and walked away from your principles, and yet they prosper and all they
282
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:51.720
do now I would just add down
the additional context is those people that were
283
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.640
suffering, though, were not always
necessarily righteous, because the reason they're in
284
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.400
Babylonian captivity in the first place was
because of their unrighteousness. Correct, Okay,
285
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:04.000
but let's go on. It says, maybe you have seen maybe you
286
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:08.119
you have also seen people who faithfully
do what the Lord asks and who lives
287
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:15.200
righteously deal with such deal with much
warfare, one blow after another. How
288
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.039
long, oh Lord, will you
leave us in this place? Is the
289
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.440
bitter anguish from our soul? As
Jeremiah, did, you too, pray
290
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.160
for mercy? Okay, I like
the way I mean, I think that's
291
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.119
a fair application. They were suffering, they were crying out to God.
292
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.839
We can find ourselves and suffering where
we cried out to God. I did
293
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.039
somewhat similar with Psaw eighty three.
Right, So, all right, this,
294
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.960
this is actually much better than I
thought. I thought it was going
295
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.119
to be much worse. But let's
wait and see. Though, Let's wait
296
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.039
and see, hang on, let's
continue. I believe that for you,
297
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:56.720
God's grace and mercy are on the
way. Despite the warfare, resistance,
298
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:02.319
and demonic backlash you've been experiencing.
You have stopped. You have stepped out
299
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:06.079
to do what the Lord gave you
the initiative to do. You have you
300
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:11.519
have remained faithful, You have lived
righteously. Don't ever believe God does not
301
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.720
see you, but also be aware, be sober. The enemy hates the
302
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.039
purpose of God and the life of
the believer. Okay, not not necessarily
303
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.680
a fan of the way that paragraph
is written, because when you say we
304
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:25.720
have lived righteously Do you mean without
sin? Can you? Can you live
305
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:29.039
righteously and yet be sin in your
life? Do you mean we live righteously
306
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:32.720
positionally? Do you mean practically?
All right? Got some issues with it,
307
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.960
all right, but it's like,
hey, basically you can be striving.
308
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.839
I would have written, we strive
to try to follow God and perfectly,
309
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.799
and we can find our times times
suffering and maybe not understanding. Okay,
310
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.920
I could rewrite it a little bit, but okay, I'm not too
311
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.759
bothered yet. Whenever you step out
in faith and obey the Lord, the
312
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.960
hounds of hell will try to come
after you to stop what God is doing
313
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.240
in your life. But there is
good news. The domnic spirits have no
314
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:07.440
authority over you unless you allow them
to. Okay, now that's an interesting
315
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.559
theological perspective. Do demonic spirits that
have no authority unless I allow them to?
316
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.200
So? Can a demonic spirit have
control over a believer who supposedly the
317
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:25.799
child of God is in Christ?
And we can get into a lot of
318
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.200
discussions here. Right as the scripture
says, no weapon formed against you shall
319
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.680
prosper Isaiah fifty four seventeen. Now, when it says, no weapon formed
320
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.720
against you shall prosper? Is that
a verse for you? Or is that
321
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:45.559
a verse for Israel? And if
no weapon formed against me will prosper?
322
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:51.640
Then how do then, how do
we explain any bad thing happening? What
323
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.720
weapons are we referring to? Physical
weapons? Plenty of Christians are killed,
324
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:03.200
spiritual weapons will plenty of Christians sin
and fall? So what weapons are you
325
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:10.640
referring to there? That's Isaiah fifty
I'm going to look it up really quick,
326
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:14.079
Isaiah fifty four seventeen. I would
challenge you to look up Isaiah fifty
327
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:19.200
four to seventeen and find the context. Isaiah fifty four seventeen. Here we
328
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:22.920
go, I'm going the wrong way. Isaiah fifty four seventeen. A couple
329
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:32.119
more pages chapter fifty two. They're
fifty four seventeen, and we read these
330
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:37.000
words. So okay, hang on, if we if we go back to
331
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.640
the beginning of chapter fifty four,
all right, I'm looking here. I'm
332
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.319
just kind of going through chapter fifty
four. We'd have to try to find
333
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:52.279
some kind of context here. Clearly
this is being spoken of, nor shall
334
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.359
my covenant of peace be removed?
Now? See this? I think this
335
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.160
is going to be our reference to
Israel. He's made up, he's made
336
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:04.319
a covenant with all right, And
then it says, no weapon formed against
337
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:07.880
you Verse seventeen shall prosper in every
tongue which raises against you, and judgment
338
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.920
you shall condemn. This is the
heritage of the servants of the Lord,
339
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.319
and their righteousness is from me,
says the Lord. Again, when it
340
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.000
says no weapon, we gotta put
that in some kind of historical context.
341
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.319
You just can't tell Christians, Hey, no weapon against you shall prosper.
342
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.079
Boom, you just died. No
weapon against you shall prosper. You just
343
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.319
fell into temptation. No weapon formed
against you, and you just got discouraged
344
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.880
and depressed, and you just got
angry, and you just committed sin,
345
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.200
and you just got frustrated. What
do you mean, no no weapon formed?
346
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:37.400
Again? Look, what does that
mean? Again? It's just a
347
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.880
verse so ripped out of its immediate
context. All right, they go on.
348
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.839
So, so as you cry out
to God in the midst of your
349
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.559
troubles, I hear him say,
I'm releasing to you a fresh start.
350
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.440
Now, how do you hear God
saying I'm releasing to you a fresh start?
351
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.759
You don't hear God saying that,
because God only speaks to us through
352
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:57.480
his word, and you're yet to
show me in scripture where God is saying
353
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.240
that specifically to you or to me. You've quoted lamentations where God is speaking
354
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:06.000
it to Judah and Babylonian captivity,
and you've given me a verse in Isaiah,
355
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:07.880
which is about Israel. So you've
not yet shown me where God is
356
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.960
saying anything like that to me.
So I don't know why you would say
357
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.519
that you hear God saying that,
because you don't hear God saying that.
358
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.720
God only speaks to us through scripture. So unless you can show me where
359
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.359
it says that in scripture, then
you're just making this up, all right.
360
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.440
I hear him saying, I'm releasing
to you a fresh start. The
361
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:27.799
Lord is bringing you back to himself. He's calling you to a place of
362
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.000
restoration and recovery and a place of
safety so that you can start over.
363
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.640
He knows that this is a season
of your life. Of your life has
364
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:42.079
begun with difficulty. I remember a
particular difficult season in my life that started
365
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.960
off with much warfare. I received
one attack after another. I dealt with
366
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.960
it silently, and with my prayer
partners and those who are part of my
367
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.200
team. We know, of course
that life has its challenges. Sometimes it
368
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:57.559
rains, sometimes the sun is shining. But this time it seemed as if
369
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:02.480
the enemy had stepped it up.
And the days passed and we pressed into
370
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.359
God. More began to hear from
others who were going through similar levels of
371
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:12.240
warfare, attacks and infirmity in their
bodies. Whatever darkness Satan had released in
372
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:17.079
the world the previous season, he
had increased it in this one. The
373
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:19.680
Lord did not let me go too
far in the battle, and the Lord
374
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.839
did not let me get too far
into the battle and into intercession for others
375
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.640
who were also battling, before he
stopped me to say, and now again,
376
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.599
this is what God supposedly says,
all right, here we go.
377
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:36.200
Although this season has started off badly, I'm going to turn the page and
378
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:40.000
release a fresh start. So now
we have, of course, direct revelation
379
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.160
from God outside of the Bible.
Again, this is where I don't ever
380
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.759
want to be mean to charismatics.
But when you tell me God is talking
381
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:55.319
to you, that just makes it's
crazy. You destroy the authority of Bible.
382
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.640
The Bible is no longer even unique? Why even read it? God
383
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:02.559
is talking directly to you? Why
read? Why study? No, it's
384
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:04.920
just Oh, the whole thing drives
me crazy. God only speaks to us
385
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.839
through his word. The end,
the end. No more stop telling me
386
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:14.000
God said something to you unless you
quote scripture. And in some of those
387
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:17.359
scriptures you quote, that's not God
saying anything to you. That was God
388
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:21.480
saying something to them. So then
we have to figure out how it possibly
389
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:26.480
applies to us. I can't.
I hate that all right. Whenever we
390
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.039
come to a place where we sense
that God is leading us into a new
391
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.240
season in our lives, we should
take the time to assess what has happened
392
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.599
since the last turning point. We
should wait for a prophetic word or give
393
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.160
language to what we hear the Lord
saying. No, you shouldn't wait for
394
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:44.240
a prophetic word. You should read
your Bible. No, you don't give
395
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:47.640
language to what you hear the Lord
saying. You simply repeat what God has
396
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:52.000
said in his word. The phrase
fresh start that God used to prophetically define
397
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.119
the next moment means that God is
going to hit the reset button and the
398
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.519
new leg of your journey will be
as if you're starting the a whole new
399
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:06.160
season. With this fresh start,
you are entering another sphere of influence,
400
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:10.359
another door. Opportunities are beginning to
open for you right now. You will
401
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.720
not be pigeonholed into the place that
you have been. You will not remain
402
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.720
stuck at the level you have been
on. That sounds to me like a
403
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:21.119
horoscope. It's just pure speculation.
He has no idea at all. He
404
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:25.200
can't say that this person cannot see
this to anybody else. He has no
405
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:27.759
idea what God is or isn't going
to do for anyone. That's just not
406
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:33.759
true. As you start fresh with
God, I decree that glory will return
407
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.200
to Zion. What does that even
mean? Regardless of how things were going
408
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.880
in the past, You will enter
a period of celebration. You will dance
409
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:44.599
during famine. You will rejoice in
the midst of chaos. You will shout
410
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.480
and give praise to God amidst all
the things you're going that's going on around
411
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.400
you. Decree this over the season, over your day to day. Look
412
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.880
for the small victories, look for
the small wins, Look for God's favor,
413
00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:59.799
look for the ways in which He
is restoring you, and declare that
414
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.880
is this celebration time, you have
entered a season of new harvest. That's
415
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:11.839
just all just words, just meaningless
words that you don't know any of that's
416
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:14.920
going to happen. What do you
mean declare it? Declaring it so doesn't
417
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.079
make it so unless this is a
very much a word of faith concept.
418
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.680
Renew your mind with fresh perspectives and
don't allow the enemy to steal your joy
419
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:29.480
or your praise. Set your mind
and spirit towards celebration. Will there still
420
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:32.839
be a tax and chaos, Yes, Jesus said in the world you will
421
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.799
have trouble, But take heart,
I have overcome the world. So no
422
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:38.680
matter how grim things look around you, use your eyes of faith and rejoice
423
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.200
in the midst of it. Decree
God is giving me a fresh start.
424
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:47.559
This is fascinating because this literally is
the opposite of what I tried to teach
425
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:52.759
yesterday with Psalm eighty three. We
put our faith in God, and we
426
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.920
trust in God, not because He's
going to make everything right, and we
427
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.240
can dance during famine and we can
celebrate, and everything's gonna be great,
428
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.519
and He's gonna give me a fresh
start, and I'm not gonna be pigeonholed
429
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.759
and he's going to open a door
and he's gonna set me free. No,
430
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.400
when we are facing horrible difficulties,
we put our faith in God because
431
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:17.440
he is God, and it's irregardless
of what he will or may not do.
432
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:21.240
We don't look to God to fix
everything. We look to God because
433
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:26.440
he is God, and he may
not fix anything. The cancer may not
434
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:33.039
go away, your mom may still
die, your father may still die,
435
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:41.880
your child may not be found.
The abuse may not stop. This is
436
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:48.039
the direct opposite of what I was
trying to teach yesterday, the direct opposite
437
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:56.599
that just drives me. That just
drives me crazy. Have faith and believe
438
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.640
that God will help. He will
can tell you you will continue to be
439
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:05.240
effective in his assignment of the Lord
on your life. You will see the
440
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.240
hand of the Lord move no matter
how dark it gets. Set your heart
441
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.160
to rejoice anyway. So the idea
is you're putting your faith in trust in
442
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:16.160
God because He's going to fix everything. That is an absolute philological recipe to
443
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:21.039
lead people to the pit of utter, complete despair, or they have to
444
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:27.279
start pretending everything is great when it's
clearly not. Then he goes on to
445
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:32.119
say I decree everything in your life
is about to change for the better.
446
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:39.400
How can this person make such a
decree? Everything in my life is about
447
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:43.160
to change for the better. Everything
in my life, well, I've got
448
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:46.000
some specific things I need you to
change, very specific. Now you said
449
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:49.680
it's going to happen. Do I
get my money back if I buy this
450
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.960
book and this doesn't work out.
I'm sharing with you what I sensed from
451
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:57.240
heaven in my time of prayer regarding
what the Holy Spirit is doing right now.
452
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.559
Everything in your life is about to
change for the better. As you
453
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:02.440
yield to the wild of God in
your life, as you listen for the
454
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:07.039
leading of the whole experience, you
will experience a fresh start. He's literally
455
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.559
promising everyone who reads the book that
everything in their life is going to get
456
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:16.720
better. We know that's not true. This is the time to lean in
457
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:22.440
and start again, to launch out
again. I know you tried it before
458
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.279
and it didn't work, but you
will accomplish it this time. I know
459
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:29.279
you built something and it got knocked
down. The enemy came after it,
460
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:31.319
and you experienced loss. But the
Lord says that you must build it again,
461
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:35.960
start fresh, and this time the
momentum of God is going to be
462
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:39.079
with you. You're going to see
a spiritual momentum that will build in your
463
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:50.839
favor. Wow. I almost want
to sue the publisher for spiritual malpractice.
464
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.119
That's like a doctor telling you,
hey, everything's gonna get better, everything's
465
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:58.240
gonna wa Hey. I know you've
been suffering with cancer, but just wait,
466
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:00.000
just wait, wait, God is
on your side and he's gonna build
467
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:04.519
momentum and everything's gonna get better.
Just to create, and then the person
468
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.599
comes back six months later like I'm
about to die. I got about a
469
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:15.159
month to live. You're a liar
doctor. That's that's spiritual malpractice. That's
470
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:21.519
just absolute deceitful lies that that is
not true. You cannot say that that
471
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.960
God is telling telling him everyone who
reads this book this, this is just
472
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:34.039
not true. People who people who
are alive today will possibly die and suffer
473
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:44.679
horrible things over the next six months. Oh that makes me want to throw
474
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:50.920
my iPad across the room. Now, the one thing I will say positive
475
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.880
about this, that is much longer
devotional entry than you typically get typically get
476
00:34:54.880 --> 00:35:00.719
in books. So I do apply
that that's much longer entry. Typically you
477
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:05.440
get like a paragraph or so.
He definitely wrote much longer but then look
478
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:09.519
at how the scriptures were handled.
Now, he did offer a little bit
479
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:15.280
of historical context to limitations, but
then immediately made it about us. He
480
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:22.639
provided no context to Isaiah and literally
made it about us. And then he
481
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:28.159
goes forth and supposedly hears from God
outside of the Bible, and then supposedly
482
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:34.039
here's God and then speaks to us
and makes promises that we just know are
483
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.000
not true. It's just flattered.
That chapter is just a flat out lie.
484
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.360
He cannot decree those things to be
true of your life or my life.
485
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:53.760
He cannot. So the name of
the book is a prophetic Reset forty
486
00:35:53.840 --> 00:36:00.760
days to aligning with God. Let
me read this story. Prophetic Reset forty
487
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:07.239
days to aligning with God's Plan for
your life by Joshua g I L E
488
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:15.719
S. I'm gonna go Giles g
I L E S. That's from Baker
489
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:20.840
Publishing Group, and then it's from
Chosen, which is a division of Baker
490
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:28.920
Publishing Group. That book comes out
midnight tonight. You've heard the first chapter.
491
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:38.519
That is the that is a segment
of Christianity right there. That's very
492
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:44.639
much in the charismatic world that I
reject, condemn and if I'm telling you
493
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:47.960
I would choose to meet with a
group of atheists before I met with a
494
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:52.679
group of charismatics. It's just that's
that's how much I despise. I don't
495
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:57.320
even see it as as an authentic
form of Christianity in any way, shape
496
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:00.079
or form. It's not an alternative, it's not it's not an option.
497
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:04.119
No, I would I would rather. I would rather meet with a team
498
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.760
of group of Satanists than I would
with than before I met with charismatics.
499
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:12.599
I think charismatic, I think,
and when you see they worship, say
500
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:16.440
Satanism is a worship of self,
Okay, And I think charismatic theology is
501
00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:22.159
deluded by actual satan Satanists are just
they just worshiped themselves. Or Charismatics think
502
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.599
they worshiped God, but they've been
completely deceived by Satan himselves. I think
503
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:36.320
it's demonic and just completely heretical that
that to tell everyone things are going to
504
00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:38.159
get better, things are gonna get
better, Everything's going to be amazing things.
505
00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:42.280
God's about to change your life for
the better. It sounds like a
506
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:51.480
horoscope. In fact, horoscope probably
more accurate. Well, there you have
507
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.159
it. The goal here was simple, just to tell you about the book.
508
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:55.639
I didn't know. I forgot.
I didn't even realize we're gonna have
509
00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:59.800
the opportunity to read a chapter,
so we at least got a little extra
510
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:01.119
in. I just wanted you to
be aware of it, so you keep
511
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:05.039
your eye out for it. If
you start seeing it show up in different
512
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:07.559
places, let me know where.
How if you hear people are reading it,
513
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:12.320
let me know who. And if
you find out people are reading it
514
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.599
who don't go to charismatic churches,
that's always the thing that that's the thing
515
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:19.920
that always just like WHOA, what
is going on? Going on? Going
516
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:24.320
on going on? Because I get
really worried. Then it's like non charismatics
517
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:30.159
picking up this charismatic heresy and then
reading it and then start becoming influenced by
518
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:35.000
it. And you have a lot
of non charismatic churches who sound very charismatic
519
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:39.480
because obviously the leadership is being influenced
by charismatic books and theology. All right,
520
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:44.440
you can email me news I F
