The podcast discusses various topics from 1 John chapter 4, including the presence of false prophets, the spirit of Antichrist, the importance of love, and the idea that certain actions may be acceptable for one person but not for another. The speaker also shares personal experiences with nicotine use and watching YouTube channels that criticize others, and how it relates to the concept of love and God's judgment. Overall, the podcast emphasizes the importance of love and following Jesus rather than focusing on others. Hello and welcome to this podcast. We will read from 1 John chapter 4. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Danny just recently saw a list of 100 false prophets that are in the media today. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God. Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. And this is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come, and even now already is in the world. And John talks about Antichrist. He's the only one in the Bible who names Antichrist. And Antichrist is not just a person or a leader, but it is a spirit that is already present in the world at that time. That's 2,000 years ago. And verse 4, ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. They are of the world, therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God. He that knoweth God heareth us. He that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. And don't be surprised that some people can't hear what you're saying. Even though you're witnessing about the gospel clearly to them, they don't understand it. And they reject it because they don't understand it. Verse 7, beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is love. And that means not being critical of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, not slinging mud, not condemning people, but helping them be convicted instead so they will repent. Verse 9, in this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. And verse 17, can you read that? Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment. Because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, that he who loves God love his brother also. Yeah, and that's regardless of whether your brother is sinning or not, you're to love your brother. Yeah. And sometimes tough love is what's needed, but that's totally up to the Holy Spirit to guide us in that. We are not to condemn each other, but the Holy Spirit can use us to convict somebody, so they will repent and turn from their sin, and be obedient to God. As Kate said earlier, I have watched a video, and Kate actually saw the video, but not listening to it. She was talking on the phone while it was running, and a name came up on the screen. One hundred names of false prophets, so somebody claimed. Now, I think his judgment was right, and many people say, judge not that you be not judged yourself, for with that judgment you judge others, you shall be judged by that measure yourself. Yes. Now, the Bible teaches us to judge, but not to condemn people. Yeah. And there is a difference, because you have to see what spirit people are of. Are they of a spirit of love, or are they of a spirit of strife? And I see judgment as a measurement, as a tool to see where people are at. Today, I have a blister in my mouth. I have had this blister for about a month now, and I have been to the doctor. I know I have herpes. Is that what it's called, Kate? Yeah, it is. I got that as a child by kissing somebody that also had it, and it could be herpes, but it wasn't, and I got a blood test, and they said that we cannot say what it is, so you have to go to a specialist, because I have had it for so long. Now, today, Kate confronted me that I am using negatine, and we had pouches and e-cigarettes. I'm not smoking cigarettes, but I have tried to wean off negatine many times for many years, but God has never told me directly that I have to stop using negatine. I know His desire is to set me free. I know that's His will, but from there and for what is achievable by me and how much I trust the Lord, it hasn't been possible for me to stop. The longest time I have stopped was for one year, and then I had a discussion with three men attacking me at the same time, and I was just a nerve wreck after that discussion, and I started to smoke cigarettes again. Now, this is a problematic situation, because if I stop smoking, I get nervous, and I tend to have fear of man instead of God. I definitely don't want to fear the devil like I did when I was young. That was terrible. I want to fear the Lord, and if the Lord tells me to stop smoking, He will also give me a way out of it. Well, you can't do it in your flesh. That's the thing. You're incapable of quitting in your flesh. It's got to be the Holy Spirit that takes control and does it for you. Yeah, exactly, and that hasn't happened yet. I don't know the reason. Anyhow, we had a talk about this, and I thought about it, but then we went in and prayed in our bedroom, and as we were praying, actually while Kate was praying, the Lord showed me something. He showed me that for me, it's okay to use nicotine, because God has not told me not to, and He has not given me a way out of it. I don't know why, but I know that that's the case, and He showed me that. That it is okay for me to use nicotine, but for Kate, for example, it was not okay, because when she was smoking, God told her, if you continue smoking, you cannot be together with me. So there was a confrontation because of the fact that it would lead her away from God, but it's not leading me away from God, and I'm not trying to excuse and say you should just keep using nicotine. I try all I can, and I hope for one day that God sets me free, and I know He will one day, but I don't know if it will be before the rapture. Anyhow, while Kate, God first told me that some things can be okay for one, but not for others, and vice versa. And then a little later, God showed me while Kate was praying, that I have watched three specific YouTube channels where people were criticizing false prophets and false teachers and prosperity. They were just attacking and exposing those people, and the Bible actually tells us to expose people like that, so people don't stray away from the faith. But you see, the 100 person list we saw in one video was a good warning, because there you could see 100 names, and you could take notice of the names and say, okay, I'm not gonna listen and follow these people. But from there, and then for me to daily listen to these channels, God showed me that the bliss I have in my mouth, but actually because I was listening to these channels, you might ask, how can that be? Because speaking bad about other people can curse you, and it's the same for me as if I was speaking about those people when I was watching it and agreeing with it. And supporting it. And supporting it. And Kate told me a long time ago that certain things you don't watch because it gives a wrong focus, and you get attention to the wrong things instead of the good things you should have attention to. And we're not supposed to follow people, we're supposed to follow Jesus. Yeah. And that brings us to this chapter where God speaks about love, because God is love, but so many people say, if God is a good God, he wouldn't allow this and that to happen. And they blame God for what the enemy, the devil, is doing. That's not the love that is spoken of in this chapter. The love that is spoken about in this chapter actually is a love that confronts us when we are wrong, doing wrong. Yeah. But it says in the Bible that God pitieth his children. Yeah. He loves them like a father pitieth his children. Yeah. And when God sees us going astray, it saddens him. It's not so much that he gets angry with us, he's angry with the enemy, but it saddens him when we stray away from the truth. Yeah. It hurts him. Yeah, it does. He's in pain over it. Yeah. Because he loves us so and wants us to be saved. All of us. Now, on the one hand, there is God's judgment. I told Kate earlier, I think it was today, yeah it was, that God, he didn't spare his son. He allowed his son to be killed. And actually, what killed Jesus was God's judgment. That was what killed Jesus. Jesus became sin because the Bible says, every man that hangs on a tree is cursed. Yeah. And the enemy knew God's word, but he didn't see that come, that when they crucified Jesus, he would be cursed. The enemy didn't try to curse Jesus. He tried to lead him astray, but he thought he won when he crucified Jesus, but Jesus became evil. All evil was put on him. Let me say it that way. All our sins. All our sins. Our injustices. Our judgments. Our murders. Every time we blame somebody, it's like we are saying, crucify that guy. And if I say, if I see my wife doing something she shouldn't do, let's say she violates me, and I judge her. And I demand blood, because blood is the only measurement you can use to, how do you say, atone for sin. Atone for sin, yeah. Yeah, so I'm demanding that she should die because I want justice. So actually wanting justice is not only a good thing, it's also a bad thing, because it demands blood, and it demands all the blood of a person. When they crucified the animals before Jesus came. No, they sacrificed. Yeah, sacrificed the animals. They had to sacrifice the blood, and when the blood leaves the body, the Bible says the life is in the blood, and that takes the life out of the creature, Jesus in this example. So every time we blame somebody, we are murderers, the Bible says. We're demanding blood. We're demanding blood, and it's like saying Jesus didn't die. Wasn't sufficient. Wasn't sufficient, he has to die again, but he can only die once. Instead we should accept Jesus' sacrifice and forgive people, because God has released them from their bondage, from their sin. When they go to him and ask forgiveness, turn away from their sinful way, and repent. And forgive the people that have hurt them. Yeah. That's very important. So on the one side of love, you have justice, and God demands justice, and what I wanted to say with this, as I said, I told Kate earlier today, imagine God, he didn't spare his own son. Who are we to think that we can escape his judgment when he had to crucify his only son, which never sinned, which never did any injustice, who never failed. He had to die, so how can we say we are made right with God and we can inherit eternal life. Of course we have to die, and we have to die together with Jesus, and that's the baptism. When you go under the water, you die with Jesus, when you come out of the water, you rise with Jesus, rising in his resurrection power. Yeah. And you wash away your sinful life, and it dies in the water. That's why baptism is very important. Many people would say that you don't need to be baptized to be a Christian, because of the fact that the one robber that was crucified together with Jesus, he wasn't baptized. But I assure you, if he had the ability to be baptized, he would be baptized the same day, because that's what they did back then. Yeah, and that is the only correct thing to do. It is, and it is possible to be saved without being baptized, but if you hear this message and you say, I don't need to get baptized, you're responsible for neglecting the fact that it's a very important thing to get baptized when you give your life to Jesus. And it's not you giving your life to Jesus, it's actually Jesus giving his life and his justice, his righteousness and his kingdom to you. It's a good trade-off. So I got this blister in my mouth because I was watching some bad stuff on the internet, and I was becoming judgmental myself, and that's what the media does with 100% guarantee. If you watch a movie or a show, you are a spectator and you are slowly lulled into judging others and making yourself judged. Whereas God is the only rightful judge that knows what happens to people, so he can judge according to what happens to them. Let me give you an example. My mother and my father, they were both Christian when they were in their teens, and they got married late in their teens, and they became communists later in life. And my mother, she divorced my father, and my father tried to get back to her because of the children and because he loved her, but she wouldn't allow him to come back into her life. Now my mother got a boyfriend, and she was on and off with him through many decades. Now, he was not a Christian, and he influenced her to go against being a Christian. He actually influenced her so much that she taught me an antichrist way of life, an antichrist spirit entered into her life through him and through other circumstances, and she taught me to hate Christians, to want to spit at them and to curse at them, and I did curse at Christians. I had a very rough mouth towards Christians and hated them for no reason, for no reason, and God got his way with me. When I was 16 years old, I got saved, but it was a long journey to where I'm at today, but my mother, she died when she was 48 years old. At that time, I was about 18 years old or so, and my mother died of a simple operation, well, not simple, but of an operation where she had to get removed her uterus. A hysterectomy. Yeah, and she was an alcoholic for many years, and the hospital told her, you have to be fasting from liquid and from food. And from alcohol. Yeah. And when they put her in... Narcosis. Narcosis. Well, before they put her in narcosis, they asked her if she had weaned off alcohol, and she said yes, and then they put her in a narcosis, and the procedure normally is that you take a blood test when you know you're dealing with an alcoholic, no matter what they say. But they asked her boyfriend, another boyfriend at this time, if it was true that she was weaned off alcohol, and he said it was true, but it was not true. And she puked when she was in wake-up room. She puked up and had a breathing mask on, so she swallowed the puke into her lungs and died of that reason. Now, half a year before my mother died of this operation, she began to sing to Jesus, read in her Bible and read in other books that were Christian-influenced. And she told me she believed in God again that half year before, and I rejoiced with her because the fact that she went back to God was part... Of course it was because of God, but it was also because of the fact that she saw my life that I went into rehab for addiction again and again and again. No matter how many times I fell back into addiction, I took up the fight and continued. And she had to admit that here was something going on that was more than natural. It was supernatural that I never gave up. I just continued fighting. And it was not me fighting, but it was God fighting in my life and in her life. And she tried to kill herself many, many times, but it was not possible because God knew the day she would turn back to Him and she would die of a simple operation. And I know I will meet her in heaven. I will meet her again. And that just goes to show that no matter how difficult a life we have, we can benefit from God's love. And the Bible says no alcoholic will inherit the kingdom of God. But how God made it possible, I don't know. But He knew what happened to my mother. He knew what happened to everybody. And I know she will be in heaven. I don't know why, but I was assured by God that she is. With Him. With Him, yeah. Yes. So, it's okay to judge people as a measurement to see where they are at so you don't follow them. Or that you know what spirit they are possessing. And I learned something earlier in life that spirit speaks to spirit. If I, back when I was smoking hash and if somebody said, you want to smoke a pipe, that was a spirit behind that. When they said that, I could feel a spirit drawing in my inner being that I wanted to smoke with them. Because we were on the same level. We were both hooked to hash. So, that spirit drew on each other. If I said to him, for example, you want to smoke a pipe, it would draw him into that temptation. Ganja, yeah. Hashish. And same with alcohol and other things. Actually, alcohol is called a flesh eating spirit. And we also have a good spirit. That's the spirit of God. And we can see what spirit people have. Yeah, and in verse 2, Hereby know ye the spirit of God. It is spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God. We had to say goodbye to some friends we had because they had a wrong spirit. And we tried to influence them for a long time, but they never turned around and changed their life. But God still influences us to hold them up in prayer sometimes, when they are in trouble or when they are drawing nearer to God and will maybe come to repentance. We pray, sometimes we fast for them and we pray for them and we commit them to God's care. We trust him to turn them around like he has for us. Verse 10, Herein is love, not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. Period. With God's love. When you see somebody in a house and the house is burning, you shout and you tell them to get out of the house. You wake them up? Yeah. Love is not only feel good, but it is also sometimes tough love that you take the confrontation with people and show them they have sinned and lost the glory of God and they need to repent and trust in Jesus. And he is faithful and he will give them a new life, a new chance, a new beginning and as the Bible says, he makes everything new anew. And it is very important to listen to God's prompting. If God tells you to go to somebody and talk to them and you don't do it, then you are sinning. If you are supposed to go to a neighbor and talk to them about Jesus, you have to step out in faith and God will give you the words. No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us and his love is perfected in us. Verse 12 and 13. Hereby know we that we dwell in him and he in us because he has given us his spirit. That is a good spirit. It is the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit builds up, but it also breaks down at times. But always give us a way out of trouble when we are confronted by him. Yeah, if we are tempted by the devil to do something or in a situation where we are in a trap sort of of the devil, God always lets us have a way out of it. He always allows us to call on him and be saved from it. I was once in a hotel room and I was tempted to have a relationship, a one night stand or whatever with somebody. And Jesus sent somebody to knock on the door and I just slipped out just in the nick of time away from that person. And God has done things like that for me all my life, helped me out of situations and temptations and problems. He has saved both Kate and I from death many times. And we would be dead today if it wasn't for God. Both of us. Now, God protects his word, the Bible. When we read the Bible for you, and if you don't understand what we are reading, but maybe you think you understand, but you have not really understood what was spoken about. That is, when God protects his word, God knows if a person will misuse his word and he also allows people to misuse his word. Another situation is, if we read up the word here and it comes alive for you and you see things in a new light, in an extended way, then it means the Holy Spirit is revealing and making it come alive for you. Exactly. And it becomes like prophecy. It becomes life to you. In that case, God allows you to understand his word, even if you choose to misuse it later on. And God protects his word. He decides who is allowed to understand this and that and who is not allowed to understand this and that. Well, just like it says in Isaiah, I can't remember where it is, where it says that God's word never comes back void. It always accomplishes what he sent it to do. I'm sorry Danny, I'm not aware of where it is. But you can just paraphrase it. It's like the rain comes down from the sky and makes things grow. And God's word does the same. It comes down from heaven and makes things grow. And God's word never comes back void. It always accomplishes what God sent it forth to do. And we know that the word of God is the Holy Spirit. The sword of the Spirit is the word of God. Jesus is the word made flesh. We know that. He is the word come to life and perfect in every way. God's word accomplishes what God sent him to do. And that is Jesus. He has accomplished what God sent him to do. And his work is perfect. God does not make mistakes. No. Now about the Spirit of God, when we read about the two robbers or criminals that were crucified together with Jesus, we read that they both mocked him. But then something happened with one of them, the robbers. The one of them repented, turned away from spotting and ridiculing Jesus. And he said, when you come into your kingdom, remember me. And that is the sinner's prayer, some people say. Well, there's many sinner's prayers and there's not one that is THE sinner's prayer. But it's an example how we have all been like this robber. Either we are the robber that accuses Jesus and blasphemes him and mocks him, or we are like the other robber that did the same thing but turned around and repented. Yeah, he said Jesus doesn't deserve to die. He did nothing wrong. We are sinners. We deserve our punishment. But he is innocent. And he retorted against the other robber and defended Jesus. Exactly. And we can go from attacking and blaming Jesus and demanding blood to defending Jesus. And that's the Spirit that is spoken about here, the Holy Spirit we receive. The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus. The Holy Spirit lifts him up where he belongs. And the Holy Spirit defends Jesus and his word. He is the word made alive for us. And there is a phrase you can measure yourself. And these two robbers show what I'm speaking about. Do you find pleasure in unrighteousness? Do you allow people to attack weak people and spot them, blame them and attack them? Or do you defend the weak people and the widow and the fatherless and orphans and the weak people? Or do you find pleasure in righteousness that you defend those that cannot defend themselves? And as it says in verse 20, if a man say I love God and hate his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment, 21, and this commandment have we from him that he who loveth God love his brother also. And that's why we mustn't sling mud at one another. It is evil. It is. I mean, you don't want to lead people astray and tell them to follow a certain person's teaching or whatever. It is Jesus that we are to follow, not people. Yeah. And you just let people call out those that lead people astray. Let other people deal with that and don't deal with it yourself unless God tells you to. Yeah. Because otherwise you become somebody that hates your brother. Yeah. And we have to love our fellow man, our brothers and sisters. Yeah. That he who loveth God love his brother also. And you can boil down the Bible into two verses or one verse. You shall love your God with all your heart, with all your might and all your soul and your neighbor as yourself. And everybody is your neighbor. Everybody. And in the Bible it also says that God does not desire sacrifice as much as he desires obedience. Yeah. And it's being obedient to the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, being led by the Holy Spirit and doing as we're told. Yeah. Being willing and obedient. Yeah. And humble. Yeah. Oh, thank you, Lord. Lord, I pray that this Spirit will follow this message that the Holy Spirit will be given to those that hear this podcast. I pray that your Spirit of love and truth and a sound mind will influence the listeners. Yeah. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your presence in our lives. Yeah. Your presence through your word, through your prophecies, through your words of knowledge, through dreams, through visions, through all sorts of beings to reach out to people everywhere and just, Lord God, Father God, draw us all to Jesus. If you have come further than your fellow man, you have two options. You can either blame him that he don't keep up with you or you can lift him up on your shoulder and bring him to the finish line. Finish line. And if you help somebody up a hill, you're higher to the top yourself. You're closer to the top yourself. Yeah. Yeah. It's about helping each other and not be a good person because nobody's made perfect. But God's love, herein is our love made perfect that we may have boldness in the day of judgment because as he is, so are we in this world. He makes us more like him, Jesus. But we are not good people. We do evil things even though we desire to do the right things. We do the wrong things once in a while and we have to turn around and repent from it and ask God to heal us. That's a daily thing. Yeah. It's every day we choose to follow God. Every day we have to choose who we're going to follow, if we're going to serve the devil or serve Jesus. Yeah. I want to read verse 18 and then finish with a sentence. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. What was it I would say? Yeah. When we talk about God and when we talk about truth, the truth, as Jesus says, I'm the truth, the life. The way, the truth and the life. The way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by me. You have to know that God demands that we believe he exists and that he rewards those that seek him. It's in the Bible. If you don't believe God exists by faith and that he rewards those that diligently seek him, you will not have God's pleasure. Yeah. God's favor. Yeah. God will spit you out. So, what I wanted to say with it is, faith is a substance that far surpasses what we understand. Some people say, if you show me, I will believe, but that's not possible because showing you how it is will convince you about how it is, but faith goes beyond knowledge. Yeah. Faith is the one that takes over where the mind cannot go. Yeah. When the mind thinks as far as it can, then you cannot go further and if you want to go further, you have to believe and that's what takes over where faith, no, belief, knowledge is limited to. Yeah. And the Bible says, I say to Kate in Danish and she can translate it. Yeah. The weakest and simplest part of God, the lowest level of God is faith. It's much higher than all our wisdom. Yeah. Combined. Yeah. Yeah. And it says also in the Bible that no man has seen or could fathom what God has in store for those who love him. We have no imagination or... When he comes in the sky to take up the bride, which happens soon, then we will not even be able to imagine half of what is in store for us. Yeah. Not even half we can have fantasy to imagine. No. We are not capable of any idea of what God is capable of. We don't have that kind of wisdom. No. It's beyond us. We're not powerful enough to realize what it is. And this life you can see here on earth. Many people live their life as this is your best life now. And if you believe this is your best life you're gonna get and you don't trust in God, you're right. It will be your best life because if you end up in the lake of fire and where the worms and the fire never is extinguished, then this will be your best life now. But if you believe in Jesus and eternal life after death, then this is only the birth. And what is significant about being born, we all know it more or less, is that a birth is happening in pain both for the parents and for the child. At least a natural birth is painful. And life is painful. But that pain should make you reach out to God. God first reached out to us because nobody was seeking him. So if God is reaching out his hand to Peter as he is walking on the water and falling through, all Peter has to do is to grip Jesus' hand and say, help me. And Jesus will pull him up of the water and bring him back to the boat. And that's what life is about. Choosing where we're gonna spend eternity. And it is only the birth for an eternal life beyond this world. So that should give you the understanding that it far surpasses what we can think about. And God has made the gospel so simple that a child can understand it. The Bible says, if you don't become like a little child, you cannot enter into heaven. The child trusts, and the child is not asking a lot of difficult, complicated questions, but just accepting facts as facts. And let me finish with this. If you have a painting, you know there is a painter. Somebody painted that picture. The picture can be 500 years old, but you know there was a painter because a picture cannot make itself. And the same with a building. You know there is a builder behind a building because buildings don't build themselves. And likewise, you know there is a creator. We all know that. The question is if we want to acknowledge it or not. Because you have the creation, and to have a creation, you must have a creator. And the problem by acknowledging that there is a creator behind the visible world and nature and flowers and bees and everything we see is the fact that we have violated his Ten Commandments. Which he has written on every person's heart. So we know what's right and wrong to do by our inner heart's laws that is written on our heart. And we all have violated God's laws. Some of us have violated all ten of them. Some have less, but we have violated God's law. And as we said earlier, if God allowed his son to be killed, even though he was without sin and without fail, error, how can you think that you can avoid God's judgment? The only way to avoid God's judgment is to believe that Jesus is the Son of God as we read here in the beginning. Every spirit that confesses that Jesus is come in the flesh is of God. That Jesus is come in the flesh. And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. And this is that spirit of answer Christ. Whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is in the world. Ye are of God little children. See we have to become little children and trust in God and have overcome them because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. So you have to put your trust in Jesus like a parachute. If you are going to jump out of an airplane ten thousand feet up in the air, why would you put on a parachute? You would put on a parachute because you don't want to die. And fear is your motivation that teaches you to take on that parachute so you will be saved. And fear of Lord is the beginning of wisdom. If you fear God more than death because he can let your spirit be damned in hell, then you trust in his perfect sacrifice, Son's offer to you that you don't have to die but that you can get a new life, a resurrected life, an eternal life. In God's kingdom. And God just showed me something Danny. With a parachute when you are just learning to skydive, they use a static line which means that when you jump out of the plane it automatically pulls the cord for the parachute so that it opens without you volunteering to pull the cord. And that is what the Holy Spirit does for us. It pulls the cord on that parachute which is Jesus and makes it open for us so that it catches the air and we float safely to the ground. Yeah, yeah, nice picture. Okay, thank you for listening and God bless you. Thank you Lord for everybody that is listening to this. Oh Jesus just touch their lives. Father God draw us all to Jesus Lord. And just be guided by the Holy Spirit. See you in the sky. Yeah, and remember to let the Holy Spirit guide you always. Yeah, Maranatha. Come Lord Jesus.
