Preaching Point: Clearly perceiving our desperate plight, we must trust in Jesus Christ as the central figure of our salvation while anticipating his return to rule on the throne of David forever. Main Text: Matthew 9:27–31 (ESV) 27 And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” 28When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, “See that no one knows about it.” 31 But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.Teaching Points:Fixate on the Authority of Jesus v27Exercise Complete Trust in Jesus' Power to Save v28Get Zealous About Your Salvation vv29-30

You'll hear how he embraces his Mexican cultural roots in the food he creates, and how he cleverly weaves the history of the people and the land into every menu. He shares his early passion for art and explains how that led to a love for culinary creativity.

April 10, 2023Today's Reading: Luke 24:13-35Daily Lectionary: Ex 15:1-18, Heb 9:1-28When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight. Luke 24:30-31In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.  Christ is risen! Saint Luke recounts that on the Sunday of the Resurrection, two disciples of Jesus were going from Jerusalem to Emmaus. They were overwhelmed with all the news of hearing about the angel's announcement that Jesus was alive (v. 22ff) but still had doubts about the Resurrection. They were so immersed in their sadness and confusion that they could not recognize the risen Jesus in the person walking alongside them.Do you notice how Jesus deals with these disciples?  There, without any fuss, Jesus appeared to them and walked with them, his conversation helping to alleviate their fears.  But then He speaks plainly with them “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.”  Luke 24:26-27, Jesus joins them as they go along their way, but He also speaks to them plainly about how the Scripture points to Him.  Soon He will be ascending to His Father and removed from their sight.  Later as He sits with His disciples, He takes bread, blesses it, and breaks it.  It isn't until Jesus breaks the bread and vanishes that they realize they have seen the risen Lord Jesus.  But why does Jesus speak and break bread and then disappear?  There were so many more questions, so many answers needed, and so many fears to be calmed.  Jesus speaks, breaks bread, and then disappears from their sight to show them how He will be with us always to the very end of the age.  The Word and Sacraments are how He will work with HIs church after the Ascension.  Later Luke tells us in Acts chapter 2 that the early disciples followed this pattern of Jesus revealing Himself to all the world.  “They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”  Acts 2:42You may find yourself like these disciples, full of questions and doubts.  Is this Jesus real?  Did He rise from the dead?  Or you may have more significant fears concerning yourself, your family and friends, this world, and our daily darkness and decay.  But take heart; Jesus meets you in this life every time you gather around His gifts that are given to you. Just like those first disciples that Easter Sunday, Jesus He reveals Himself to us every Sunday as Scriptures and the Eucharist are spoken and distributed by Jesus through your pastor.  In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Here would I feed upon the bread of God, Here drink with Thee the royal wine of heav'n;  Here would I lay aside each earthly load,  Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n.  LSB 631 vs. 2- Pastor Kent Schaaf is Pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Little Rock.

HOLY GOSPEL: John 11:1-45    1Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was ill. 3So the sisters sent a message to Jesus, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” 4But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” 5Accordingly, though Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, 6after having heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.  7Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.” 8The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and are you going there again?” 9Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day do not stumble, because they see the light of this world. 10But those who walk at night stumble, because the light is not in them.” 11After saying this, he told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to awaken him.” 12The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be all right.” 13Jesus, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was referring merely to sleep. 14Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. 15For your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” 16Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”   17When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. 18Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, some two miles away, 19and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother. 20When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home. 21Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him.” 23Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” 25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, 26and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.”   28When she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, and told her privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29And when she heard it, she got up quickly and went to him. 30Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31The Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out. They followed her because they thought that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. 34He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35Jesus began to weep. 36So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” 37But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?”   38Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” 40Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” 41So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. 42I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.” 43When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”   45Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. 

Fifth Sunday in Lent The Collect: Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Old Testament: Ezekiel 37:1-14 1The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. 3He said to me, “Mortal, can these bones live?” I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord.” 7So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them.9Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.” 10I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood on their feet, a vast multitude. 11Then he said to me, “Mortal, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely.' 12Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people. 14I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and will act,” says the Lord. Psalm: Psalm 130 1 Out of the depths have I called to you, O Lord;   Lord, hear my voice; *         let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication. 2 If you, Lord, were to note what is done amiss, *        O Lord, who could stand? 3 For there is forgiveness with you; *        therefore you shall be feared. 4 I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for him; *        in his word is my hope. 5 My soul waits for the Lord,   more than watchmen for the morning, *        more than watchmen for the morning. 6 O Israel, wait for the Lord, *        for with the Lord there is mercy; 7 With him there is plenteous redemption, *        and he shall redeem Israel from all their sins. Epistle: Romans 8:6-11 6To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law—indeed it cannot, 8and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you. Gospel: John 11:1-45 1Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was ill. 3So the sisters sent a message to Jesus, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” 4But when Jesus heard it, he said, “This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” 5Accordingly, though Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, 6after having heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. 7Then after this he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.” 8The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and are you going there again?”9Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight?

Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, 26and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.” 28When she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, and told her privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”29And when she heard it, she got up quickly and went to him. 30Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31The Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out.

It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” 40Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” 41So they took away the stone.

GospelJOHN 11:1-451Now a certain man was ill, Laz'arus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Laz'arus was ill. 3So the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill." 4But when Jesus heard it he said, "This illness is not unto death; it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it." 5Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Laz'arus. 6So when he heard that he was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. 7Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again." 8The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?" 9Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. 10But if any one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him." 11Thus he spoke, and then he said to them, "Our friend Laz'arus has fallen asleep, but I go to awake him out of sleep." 12The disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover." 13Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. 14Then Jesus told them plainly, "Laz'arus is dead; 15and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him." 16Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him." 17Now when Jesus came, he found that Laz'arus had already been in the tomb four days. 18Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off, 19and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother. 20When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary sat in the house. 21Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22And even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you." 23Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." 24Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day." 25Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" 27She said to him, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world." 28When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying quietly, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you." 29And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him. 30Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him. 31When the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." 33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled; 34and he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." 35Jesus wept. 36So the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" 37But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?" 38Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb; it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days." 40Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?" 41So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42I knew that thou hearest me always, but I have said this on account of the people standing by, that they may believe that thou didst send me." 43When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Laz'arus, come out." 44The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with bandages, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go." 45Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him;

GospelMATTHEW 9:27-3127And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David." 28When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord." 29Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you." 30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, "See that no one knows it." 31But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.

The Lions Den - Daniel 6:11-28When you live a life within the will of God, God will provide allies in unlikely placesWhen you live a life within the will of God, we can be vessels of His gloryWhen we are outside the will of God, we are slaves to our emotionsWhen we are outside the will of God, we will be our own downfallWhen we are outside the will of God, nothing can bring you true peaceWhen the self-absorbed vessel comes face to face with the glory of the Living God, change occursWhat you do before the pit determines what you get inside the pit

Luke 4:14–31 (ESV) 14And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. 15And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. 16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. 17And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, 18“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.” 20And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, “Is not this Joseph's son?” 23And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘ “Physician, heal yourself.” What we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.' ” 24And he said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 25But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, 26and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” 28When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. 30But passing through their midst, he went away. 31And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,

Acts 14:21-28When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. 23 And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.24 Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. 25 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia, 26 and from there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled. 27 And when they arrived and gathered the church together, they declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they remained no little time with the disciples.

(Easter 2022) 1Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. 12Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19If in Christ we have hopeb in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. 20But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all. 29Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf? 30Why are we in danger every hour? 31I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day! 32What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” 33Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” 34Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

Tik-Tok YouTube at the 101 podcast. And today we have a Mandy with us. Mandy. How you doing today? 00:00:57I'm doing fantastic one. Thanks for having me. So we connected on Instagram and you reached out to me and you said that you wanted to speak about this Matrix. And I know you have a podcast and you also do some what is it that you do with the with oxygen cbd-infused oxygen. 00:01:20Holistic, lab and a Healing Arts Gallery. So what I do is 00:01:26In that I tried to bring the metaphysical, the concept of metaphysics until more physical practical tool way. And one of those is administering, aromatherapy CBD oxygen. And so, a lot of people would say, what does it have to do with metaphysics? And really, it's about. Well, first, the basic one, which is everyone's, you know, muzzled right now and we're we're not breathing correctly. So if this is ever a time to really use some oxygen, it is right now. But really my Approach is about Awakening, The Prana the life force and we do that simply just by breathing, and we don't realize how much were not really breathing until we have that to. I, I give my guests really pretty like cool neon tubes to put in their nose, which they keep for sanitize purposes. And you're feeling that oxygen for the first time running through your nose and your like, oh my gosh. Is this really what? It's like to feel like legit are going through my nose. 00:02:26Breathing all the time, you know, so it's this actually feeling that Prana and incorporating essential oils. And CBD is a corporate meeting. The aspect of the plant medicine and integrating going back into the organic human cuz I'm all about the organic human timeline. So perhaps that's them, you know, that's that's part of my mission on Earth. I consider myself a cosmic agent and I guess I was programs as as bringing unfolding that organic path and we do that by integrating the pure oils in the CBD, the plant medicine and then the prime of the oxygen before we get deeper into it. Can you share your social media with with whoever wants to find your work or connect with you? Absolutely think. If you'd like to follow the portal on Instagram, it's the portal underscore EP or you can go to my personal page, which is 00:03:26Cosmic. Native, I'm mostly on, on the Instagram to Facebook. I'm kind of like, I don't really care. We're going to show that off. So what got you into that? Type of it, cuz I'm in and it seems like everything that the honestly seems like the only thing that 00:03:47I've been talkin about as of lately has been it. You know what I mean? Like the everything that's going on in the world has just been about covid-19 and I took a break for seven eight months because of a family emergency. My dad had a heart attack, right? And it was at the. So I thought that 2020 was wild beginning of 2021 was like, none of this is going to be an even Wilder ride then then 2020. And so I took a break cuz I had to take care of the family business and what not. And then I finally got back into it, but it's, and I'll actually have somebody my DM's right now that we're talking about how 00:04:30How dark everything is right now as far as like, the energy and just the atmosphere and the, the anger that some people have, especially at this time. It's almost like a mass hysteria, this this hypnosis. And I've talked about simulacra where people take symbols and they give value to it for no apparent reason just because you have a symbol of of a cross doesn't mean it's God or just cuz you have a symbol of Christ, doesn't mean it is Christ. And for some people it is the literal meaning of 00:05:07God, whatever it is, right? I am usually symbols and I've been wanting to do mushrooms for a little bit now. And I, I saw Joe Rogan live on Saturday and he started talking about mushrooms and I told my fiance, I'm like, and I grew my own mushrooms for like 3 months. And a first time I did it was, it was like this weird experience because it was like this, this create I was that much closer to it. I took it for, you know, like a spiritual type of thing. I wanted to look Inward. And when I ate some mushrooms for the first time, it was all that work of taking care of them. Every day for three months will looking after them, make it show up there. They were growing correctly and I was like this, this weird. Like spiritual thing for me is I go home. I'm eating like what I've made and not only that but it's I'm in this other dimension now and 00:06:07Long story short, I was a horrible trip for my first, it was horrible. It was at the peak of Corona and it was, by the way. I had an ego to change my life on Tuesday to say that but it really did because it just rewire the way I think about things and just were so caught up in the insignificant bullshit of life. And yes, so it's, it's funny. You say that because I have this, this mix relationship with with the big Pharma cuz my dad also has that messed he's diabetic. And I've seen the corruption of these things that they, they need to keep you sick to keep you coming back. It's that's what people don't understand. That it's a business and there are alternatives, holistic medicine, Reiki, healing up, other things that were not open to why? Because we were indoctrinated from the very beginning to say, look, that's bad. That's not, that's not going to work, right? 00:07:08So I have this again. I have this animosity towards a big Pharma because my dad's MS treatment is $30,000 a month. And if you don't if you don't have, if you don't have insurance. 00:07:22You don't die from it. Guess what? There's no there's no there's no cure. You don't die from it. But you stole D. Just a grade in your body just eats itself and some people just stopped breathing just cuz their muscles and everything comes up and that's that's dark. 00:07:38Yeah, absolutely. And you know what you hit it. You hit the nail on the head when you said you had an ego death with your mushroom. 00:07:43Well, actually, it's with the entire planet is experiencing right now. Is there a ego death? And they're walking through the Dark Shadows, their collectively with this Collective Narrative of covid, and being sick in like the end of days. And then everyone's also having their own individual experience of what that looks like, you know, are they not being authentic to themselves as far as their work, are they not being authentic to themselves as far as human being, their alignment of who they are and what they want to be and we are experiencing, you know, I don't know if anyone's ever said this, you know, to you in the last year-and-a-half, but some of the very beginning would say that covid is actually part of the crown. So accessing that Crown chakra, you known that multi-dimensional level of really opening ourselves up to the most, you know, your potential Supernatural human being is that we can be 00:08:43Has the Earth is having her own time of Ascension time of regrouping time of evolution. And so when this is happening and we can measure this scientifically with the Schumann resonance. And so, when this is happening in the energies, are changing, guess what? We are also Earth bodies. So our energies are going to change. And I used to read, you know, Barbara Clow and in some other, you know, author is back when I was really young and they would say, prepare for this time because people are going to start to lose their minds because the energies are going to get really weird. And it's only because we're just changing our vibrations. No, I didn't know. It is really fascinating. I didn't think it was going to show up like this like a pandemic, right? But really it's like 00:09:36If there's so many levels to it and it is it, it is actually the most fascinating time to be awake because it's like in my perception. We're witnessing this sci-fi movie like playing out in front of us. It's super Syfy, right? So the thing is is that because the energies are changing everything in the atmosphere of Earth and in our Dimension is becoming more malleable. So what you believe perceive and embody in your energy and what you project, guess what? You're manifesting it, you're creating it. And at the same time, you are also either becoming more part of the illusion, or you're becoming kind of like a fringe dweller outside of the illusion saying this is not real. This is not, I don't want to be a part of this movie. Does that make sense? That's scary because 00:10:26I've I've delved into the the world of the gnostics and the demiurge in the false reality that that in the movie, The the 2001 Space Odyssey, how in Coptic timing simulation, pick up the gnostics use that and I've actually brought this up on the livestream. I did yesterday with my my buddy Tom on strange strange World podcast. When we we have a sideshow Regis talk about all types of stuff and I and I said 00:10:58When we look at the planetary in the celestial bodies according to Gnostic cosmology, it was, we live in a world created by the demiurge and the damage is the state in archetype. And I said, is it weird that we find beauty within that in something that the demiurge created? Because it's supposed to be evil. But if you look at it, it's, it's beautiful, right? So is it bad that we think that it's beautiful and in end? 00:11:28When you talk about that about either becoming part of the simulation or whatever, or right now, I feel that everybody that's awake and I don't like using that term walk or anything like that. But if you're awake, I feel like we are the ones that broke out of Plato's Cave and we're coming back inside and tell the others and saying, hey, there's another world out there. These Shadows are saying is there's more to it than that. And obviously we know how that story goes with the people within the cave were fighting against cuz they didn't want to break free. It's it's Stockholm syndrome. What's going on right now, what you said earlier? 00:12:10Corona in Spanish means Crown. So it would make sense with the with the Contour and then, and that's, that's what Kundalini is all about. Right. Aligning the chakras and open yourself up and being able to, is it a form? And correct me if I'm wrong cuz I'm not well-versed in this at all. Is it to where you can line up your chakras in your able to ascend like until like a light body or something? Or how does that work? Well, okay. So with the chakra system, everyone has a chakra system, right? And we work with the main seven, chakras, from the route, all the way up to the crown. And so when we have all the chakras and in the Kindle, any lit up, which that is the Kindle eating and you see that the the, like, the Serpent's coming together, anytime you see, Ken dilanian work, that's bringing your left and right brain together your masculine or feminine, your dualities together, and that's essentially what it is to get the balance of the chakras. All in this light alignment. 00:13:10So really what it is is your ascending regardless, whether you're working on this or you're not there just different levels and it doesn't mean that you're going to leave this body. And means we're going to have the experience in the physicality. Cosmic energy by accessing all the way up to the crown to access that connection to God Universe Cosmos, or however you want to see that's the energy. We want to Anchor Inn at the same time of being rooted in the healthy, balance rooted and that's the red root chakra and we're bringing the Earth. So they said the grounding and the cosmos together. So we're having this Fusion, this ultimate. What is the next verbal? Absolutely. Absolutely. What is this ultimate, you know, Human Experience now because listen, we're done, we we can whether you're in the The Matrix system in totally, like in the fear or whether you're like us who were The Fringe dwellers in. 00:14:10What's going on? This is nice. We all are agreeing that we don't want to participate in this Collective, you know, elaboration anymore. We we want to end suffering. We want to end, you know, the the notion of samsara where it's over and over and over again, and we're just perpetuating this like lower-density experience on Earth. We agree. We don't want to do that anymore. So therefore we're changing the game, the planet changing the game, where to get the game. The whole Cosmos is changing the game. So going back to your you, no idea of sometimes, we might find a Specs of the gym, yours, beautiful, that evil slipped backwards. Means what live 00:14:54Evil is live something in the version. So it's very interesting because the desist. 00:15:03The system that we live in is paradoxical. Okay. It's a, it's a gay man. And I don't mean it like Loosely, like, nobody can die and stuff like that, and it's not meaningful. I mean, there are certain elements of Design Within this Cosmic system that makes it paradoxical, so a lot of things and, and they know they're so, you know, the Illuminati, the families of nobility, the infiltrated Freemasons, they know this system. So, and it's part of esoterica. That's what are esoteric, symbols are. So in the system, in the area are inversions and that's one of them, evil is an inversion to live. So the gym yours is like going to reside in low-density negative energy. What is it due to negative energy separate sand in disintegrate. Positive energy comes together in a grows in its Collective. That's literally just the mechanics of energy, right? So if we look at something, 00:16:03We want to see as human beings. Will, that evil? Okay. What is it doing? Is it separating? Is it causing destruction? Okay. So that's the inversion of living. It's not causing gross. It's not allowing for further, unfoldment the expansion, which is life, right? So that's where we're now. We're like, okay, we experienced this design in polarities in the good to evil, the dark and the light, the black and white, the high in the low as above. So below, right? We've experienced that. Okay. So now and our next Evolution, now it's time to come into the fusion of these things and incorporate that Paradox, incorporate that. Okay. Listen, this stuff looks grim and dark, but guess what, we can't get lost in it. What is the, what is the good? That is the good, the higher potential, the expansion that is coming out of this. In one of the things that I can tell you is that people are waking up to pharmacy. 00:17:03Cool stuff in this craziness of illness versus healthy people and and saying, you know, what? Wait a second. Why is our society? Why is our world cultivated to make us sick? That doesn't make sense. We don't want to allow that anymore. That that's, that's ridiculous. Right? We have all these Technologies and you're going to tell me that your dad has paid $30,000 a month because of his illness that since Buster generic brand to the school system, you know, work system medical system. So they're breaking down and we're like, yes breakdown because people like you and I hopefully we step into our mission and many others to start to create new system. 00:17:53and, 00:17:55I posted today. I did a real from the live last night where I, I said society's, fuck. Because people some people walk on this Thin Line and they're so easily swayed. They see one thing and they're so easily swayed, right? They're easily manipulated from one little thing that they see on the meat. I say defund the media because we only see one side of the story and people are are convicted before innocent until proven guilty doesn't exist anymore. If they got you on the media, people are convicted even before they hit that courtroom, right? So then I forgot what you mentioned earlier, so, 00:18:36Oh, yes. Yes. 00:18:39I was looking into the Ossipee and Helena blavatsky and, and those type of doctors and you mentioned, the Freemasons, and the yin and yang, where it's the, it's the check for the black and the white. And you brought up an interesting point because you said, we have to find the, the goodness and everything that's going on. Even if it's, it's all evil. And I learned recently that wants some of the doctors, these individual, The Reptilian overlords, cuz that's what I like to think of them. The archons the, the negative energy, whatever they are. What if they are actual lizard, people, who knows, but that's what I refer to them as and it's always problem solution rent to repeat right and that's what the demiurge wants to keep us here for the Ouroboros, write the snake, the snake eating its own tail, and that's what I love about the gnostics that they didn't, which they were obliterated, pretty much by the 00:19:39I had a Catholic church because they taught the DVD. They took away, the broke or just going on right now with everything with the with the, with the way you live your life. It's all a brokered experience. Like, no, you have to go through us first in order to enjoy whatever it is that you want to enjoy. You have to go through the church first to to to achieve Divinity while they figured. I was like, no, we don't cuz like we are got the, we are the Delight being, you know, we were made in the image of God know so what what more is there to look for? Why do I have to pay you to be able to to what so, it's all a business and 00:20:17So, back to the, the Helena blavatsky thing, there's also because I feel that with Aleister Crowley and all these individuals date that the who knew about this. They take it and they preferred it, right. Just how the Knights Templar. They they they I'm pretty sure it was One Bad. Apple spoils the rest and I've heard that some of these individuals, they will 00:20:41They will promote and how do I say is do push that they want to be so evil that they achieve Divinity. Have you heard anything about that? They that they want to like I forgot how you worded it, but they want to 00:20:58Be so evil, that they're Divine, almost an old ancient concept that the dark ultimately service the light. 00:21:12Okay, so so let's break it down to the gym yours. If we take it to Sacred the notion of sacred geometry. Let's let's have that is a visual. And so you take sacred geometry. And you say where they would say, the first points, just the point is the existence of God or Source creation Creator. And from that point there, then was a line. 00:21:40And then that's how creation started to create so point in line and we can say this is feminine and masculine Energies. 00:21:50Feminine energy and it has nothing to do with like, you know, gender feminine energy, is the mechanics of energy being magnetic drawing to you, trying to you. So you won, you have feminine energy. When you're exercising that energy of drawing to you. That's your femininity. Okay, then the line would represent masculine energy and masculine energy pushes. The the is the action, the action of the energy going out. Okay, so magnetics and energetic and in reality. They work together there. What? They're, they're not one in the same that you different systems, but they are in collaboration in Creation with each other. That's why that's also one of our biggest divisive notion. How many times? Yeah, exactly. Do you hear the mainstream media and they're like, you screw the patriarchy and poor women and women are like how dare you I'm a victim and you're like 00:22:50Powers. That's an illusion. They've trapped you into believing an illusion that's not true. Women are incredibly powerful. Men are incredibly powerful and when the two come into collaboration their supersonic be okay. So in that sense, we have to look at the gym yours as that Breakaway creation. 00:23:13So, go backwards. It's still part of creation. It's just plain. Be inverted roll. Right? So Dua, Leti the system of Duality. So, one point said, I'm going to play the creation of the or I'm going to play the role of the lived apart and you're going to play the role of the evil part, which is the inverted mayor of what I am and they play the mirrors of each other. Does that make sense counter where I talk about? Saw tiny chinchillas Asians, it's all the same thing reiterated just in a different names. Quetzalcoatl, Jesus Christ, Buddha, Krishna. All these guys are all the same people and it's again all religions. If you really think I forgot who I was listening to. I think I might have been manly P hall was talking about this and I'm making a point to where everything is just reiterated over and over and over again. It's it's that Duality that you talking about evil. And then he also said that he was talking about something something sort. 00:24:13I got the perversion just because you're ethnically Chinese doesn't mean you're culturally Chinese but we we live in this Society to where it's like all your Chinese Cultural. You must be Chinese. Like no, I'm I'm American or you know what? I mean? Like these these these things that we're just, we're just like, we have these blinds on and that's all we see. And when you questioned the mainstream narrative or you bring up alternate ideas, how we're talking right now. You're looked at like at your fucking crazy, you know what I mean? 00:24:46Normal, so then, let's take it. Let's take it higher, this conversation higher. Let's move from the gym, yours, and let's go a little bit middle ground before we hit the normal 3D. So you have the mainstream media, but the mainstream media and social media, the internet. So I would I would you know, say they're one in the same write their propaganda piece has to write. They can be for your benefit where they can be totally MK Ultra your ass. If your life sucks them. However, who's really running the media, and the internet go? Deep deep deep. What is it? It's the whole entire inverted system of a, i 00:25:23AI is infiltrating all the systems, even the system of reptilians and the lizards, and the archons, and all that stuff, you know, and they're infiltrating even those creations and it's like, whoa, wait a second, you know, so we're not in a humongous like transmutation as I would say, I have some writings and some You Know spoken word about the stuff transportation of the cosmos. This is our transmutation of the cosmos and the thing is is that we've been here before and that's how we know how to navigate through this blueprint and then we know how to change the design with time and she with the new transmutations going to be. So it really is the AI. So when when we see things playing on TV or you know, the same narrative all this stuff, it's like yeah, of course, there's Talking Heads. I don't know if you subscribe to clones and double 00:26:23I happen to believe it's true. 00:26:34Spider-Man, watch the reality, right? It's so interesting. So it's the, it's the AI, literally, we know that it programmed us through our phones through what we write through, what we searched and then, guess what? The way. I understands things is to categorize everything and subcategorize everything over and over and over and over again. Okay, because guess what we can take the notion. Like I said, in ancient times, they were working off of fusion Collective Consciousness, right? And left brain paradoxical understanding, and philosophies. Okay. So now that we're like, in all these pieces, you know, you see, you know, this notion of like all these like 50,000 genders. I don't know, you know, and it's because it's part of that like categorisation of human being. That's not, I'm sorry, but that's not part of the natural organic unfolding system. That's an AI system to be able to to compartmentalize. 00:27:34Aldi's categorizes of things to be able to understand because that's the only. It doesn't have creative thought does not have creative. Thought. That's why when it does things like these false flags are like this real rotational of stuff that, you know, damage that we see it's kind of same thing. We already know how it's going to play. There's no creativity because it's who's behind it. It's yeah, it. That's a lot to unpack. And when you talk about the AI, and I've talked about this about the trans humanistic movement and I was a big, Elon Musk fan. But Elon Musk is pro transhumanism and he wants to become one with that neural link, right? He wants to. He wants to connect this quick quick, quick and 00:28:26What I tell people is pay attention to the symbols. The symbols are the language to the soul. It's not realistic programming that they're doing a bit but they have in the background and just a few weeks ago. I definitely was the CIA or the government. They they admitted to having a guy that's able to predict events days in advance is out 2 days, 3 days 4 months 5 months a year because right now we're building all these modern-day towers of Babel and fucking with things that we shouldn't be fucking with. And it's I feel it's to cause more separation within ourselves because 00:29:14I feel that back then. 00:29:17Everything was much more. How do you say that is? There is a magical and we've lost the sense of touch with an in Oneness with nature. And you, you mentioned at the beginning of the podcast at Mother Nature is having her own Ascension. And reality itself is not much more manageable. And that, honestly, I never really thought about it like, that, that that, as we move on has and I don't know, if you're familiar, has the age of Aquarius, already happened, or is it are we transitioning right now? With two that? I mean, we already in in more than the middle of reaching that and here's the thing. People are think that the age of Aquarius is one day going to appear and we're going to be like butterflies and rainbows and throwing them everywhere. But really that's not the concept. Those even those concepts are somewhat programs, you know, AI dysfunctional concept. The concept is this is 00:30:17Picking complete responsibility and access to you yourself as the human Earth body on this planet. And by doing that it's again. It's going. It's the basics. Like, how can I be responsible for myself for my actions for me, taking care of myself and it's a big inverted mirror in this whole covid scenario. Because what if people do they wanted to blame you for not being nasty. Want to blame you for not being vaccinated. They want to blame you for going outside. How dare you you're going to get me sick and it's like, where is the personal responsibility? The responsibilities going back to again, ancient times like you were saying, we are the gods. We are the one unfolding the destiny. We are the one creating the experience. So in a sense, we can't really blame so much the Illuminati or the infiltrated Masons or the lizard people cuz guess what we are them. We have allowed this to take place on our planet. 00:31:17I take responsibility, it's Alan. I think it was either David. I cry Alan Watts and said the 00:31:28The intention goes where the energy goes, or something like that. The intention flows or the energy to go, something like that. Tom brought it up yesterday and 00:31:38History doesn't repeat itself at often Rhymes and what you're talkin about. All this seems so familiar to me of blaming one group of people. Blaming society's problems on them. Are remind me of something that's already happened in history. But today's generation. They don't know how to read so they don't look back. They don't care about. No, I've had people tell me, what is it matter. I have to go tell me you'll just let them do whatever they want to do. They're going to win. Indiana go. Well, we don't understand. Is that as a collective, if you have enough people is like a religion or cult whatever it is. As a people, you have enough people thinking the same thing as you or them or whatever. It, maybe it comes true. It becomes true. And it's what you're talkin about the forming of reality and end in Holland, in The Matrix, such a great movie and I was talking to Tom and I said, 00:32:35I watch recently Fight Club and like, you know, these weird movies that just have these crazy Potts was that you're not expecting at all. And I recently saw one on Netflix. Thanks for the good old lizard guy Netflix. I forgot the name of it. So it's with Jason Momoa. It's I think it's called little girl. I don't know if you seen it and no matter how many times I watch Fight Club, write these weird crazy movies or the Matrix, especially Fight Club cuz at the end I'm always mine blown. I didn't know. It was him the whole time. It's like wow. And sometimes when people they're walking this Thin Line, how how everything's been as of lately, right? Walking on eggshells. I feel like people glitch out, right? Like they like, it is like an information overload on whatever it is. 00:33:30whatever their reality is cuz some people are just 00:33:34some people are NPC. Some people are just put here just to fill in and just and the observer effect as a real thing. That's why. 00:33:42I've gotten to the point where I don't even care anymore. I'm just, I'm just a living. I'm just doing my own thing. I be careful with. I'm careful with what I say and what I do in the type of energy that I put out there because there's, there's certain ways to go about it. And I've had ever since it happened. I've had family members wish death upon me because I I don't align with certain views and I tell him, I go. Why would you say that? Why would you sit in a send, you ate that because you've already spoke it into existence? You've already thought about it. So, and that's like me telling you, how you need to let your tires or bother. You don't change me in a fucking crash into a pole because you're going to lose track just like, hey, get your tires fixed and it's not good to have a ball type thing and it's like you're putting that out there and I had this this date come up. I don't know if the Mayans copied a lot of of what the Aztecs did the Aztec. 00:34:42The Real G's, they're the ones that that built that they even had. 00:34:47Late like that. Like the kabbalistic Tree of Life, where it sits this map to the cosmos, right? They supposedly build maps of the of the universe these people and 00:35:01Everybody knows that in 2012. The world was supposed to end, right? Twenty twelve dollars, a big thing of December 21st, 2012 that the world's going to end of his movies about it. It was all this shit about it when I am seeing September 21st 2022. Have you heard about that? 00:35:17No, I haven't heard about that date. However, I would say that if you're seeing these dates, look into it into the mirror image of things, so we had December 21st. 00:35:312012. So, if we flip that to the 2012, the mirror version of that would be 2021. 00:35:40Right. I want to be working, a lot of people think 2021 is the age where you have, we become we awakened because we're seeing the corruption and I and I have talked about this where 00:35:55The system is fucked. We saw what happened in March of 2020, Merida toilet paper. Then the supply chain is. It's so thin, so yeah, but what a great opportunity for everyone to get some bad days. That's much more healthier for your ass, into the fuck out. Because it's like, I remember when my son was first born and I about the hospital, giving us these bottles and envies disposable like nipples for the bottles. And I remember, when we got sent home, I had bought some. I bought some extra ones. We started running out. He was on formula. 00:36:36And he start running out of the little disposable nipples and all that stuff. 00:36:42And so we start calling the hospital. We go ahead, we're running out of these disposable nipples and bottles and stuff like that. What are we supposed to do? Can you guys sell the sum or whatever? And they're like, no, we can't buy. What the fuck are we supposed to know how? We going to feed our son? And the lady was like, bro, just put her in a regular bottle and I looked on my Fountain Lake. 00:37:01Why we think about that, right? Cuz you're so focused, right? You have these why there's no other solution which is what's happening right now. And that's just like using analogies to just relate to normal people. Cuz sometimes you'll be talking to somebody and know though, they freaked out, right? I mean today or is like, well, I'm going to have a normal conversation that me 5 minutes later. You know, what time is time is an illusion and it's like you talk to people on that way when they freak out and we can see this indoctrination of of of symbols and I were talking about you bring up a good point to where 00:37:37We are the lizards. 00:37:42Like a Carl Jung type of thing. We're taking the shadow of the self or what? What do you cuz I like to think that there are these these arch-nemesis of of society and these these hooded figures in the dark Alleyways that are at that actually want to do good because they feed off that negative energy in the lower vibrational and I've talked about the Saturn time Cube simulation hypothesis where everything is being controlled by Saturn Satan. Kronos, right. And we can relate that to, to even bafflement, right? We can, we can talk about that where where it's related to all these archetypes moloch. And it's the same, the same record regurgitation over and over again, throughout all of history, just with a different label for the different time of, of, of whatever it is, but I feel that they feed off and harvest, our energy. The Matrix. What were they use? 00:38:42Tina says batteries, right? And then everybody was put into, I forgot who it was. That said. 00:38:50When they offer him the steak and he's like, oh, you know, that's not real, right? He's at all. So I can taste real take. Why would rather have her? Who said? Anyways, I got rather have the fake cuz it tastes good and then then to know it's fake or freezing, but I digress. 00:39:07What were you going to say about to hear? I'd like to believe that. That's all true. Because if you can conceive it, and you can believe it, you can achieve it and it's happening cuz then where does it come from? Okay, that's on some Sub sub level. It's happening. Just like, for example, people saw, you know, a lot of death in covid. And so when people say, oh, you think it's a hoax and I said, that's too one-dimensional. That's to kindergarten. I don't think it's, I think it's so much more than you're giving a credit. So I believe that people are living in their own realities where there, whether it's part of their soul plan, their karmic retribution, whatever agreements, they made their seen it there. Super in the reality. It's real for them. Then there are some of us that we walk into a store without a mask and nobody even bats. Not it's like you're not even there. 00:40:07Okay, work work work, didn't get sick or anything like that. Okay. My point is everyone's living the reality in which they're projecting in their mind and in the energy so that reality on some level is happening. Now, think of the concept of multidimensionality. 00:40:25If you believe do you, if you believe in parallel realities parallel universes, it's like you dropped a stone in a pond and then you see that geometry of all the circles, right? There's one Circle II Circle, don't look at it like that. So there's all these like circles and I'm not, there you go. And then it's like, right? So the morning that it was stration, that imagery into multidimensionality and then, you know, still going above and below and and sides, 360, all that stuff is 00:41:00We could be led to believe there's a philosophy that yes, we are in this body. But this is not the only place that were anchored in. We can also be anchored in other potential places of our multidimensionality and that's about enough incident. So in this life where, you know, what people maybe some people would consider good or of the light or for Humanity, but who's to say that in another life in another multi-dimension, Airy aspects of ourselves. We are not part of that over Overlord system, which is why we understand it. So well, which is why we're able to to work through the illusion, out of it. Yin and yang balancing. Do you know there's just we can take this notion like so many ways. 00:41:49Yeah, I was reading a book or audiobook. It's called the astral plane, its inhabitants and the scenery. And in that book, they talked about how 00:42:02If you are a scientist in this lifetime, you know and in a past lifetime you might have started that Journey or you were another scientist right in this samsara or this or borrows and dissemination of them. Are you talking about the the the middle being the source in the one? Right? That's what the my play it. It's crazy that we that we still refer back to guys that were talking about shit that were at that, that had their own. Can you imagine the Library of Alexandria? It was just, if you really think about it. It was just a bunch of podcast booze and they were just all having their own podcast and their own conversations and a lot of the greatest Minds that came out of there. And then play, it'll be one of my favorites that bad, that you the philosophers who fucking talked about Atlantis. Write this guy was on a whole nother level. 00:42:58He talks about that about House Thoughts, Plato's theory of forms where the perfect form exists. In this other realm, in this other dimension, this higher Dimension. And even today, I was listening and and it was mainly P hall. Said, if you believe that 00:43:20Once you're dead, that's it, and that's where life stops your you know, material list or something like that. And if you're if you believe that we go on and in our Consciousness goes on after death, and you're an idealist and 90% of people, 90% of people think that 00:43:40There's something at the happens after Afterlife, right? After after you die. A lot of all these religions, they all talk about that shit and they did the ancient Egyptians. They they literally prepared just for the afterlife. That's all they did everything that they did was just towards living in the in their afterlife cuz they knew what was going to happen. And you brought up sacred geometry earlier where the Egyptians put sacred geometry and everything. Because they wanted, they they, they saw it as holy. They saw it as as it came from the source, right? Perfect. And then they wanted to put a little bit of the creator of the programmer. I'd like to call him and everything and all and everything that they built, they they would put signal Jammers cuz they wanted to incorporate that into their to elaborate on a on a point that I made earlier. We're, we're we're so focused on these false symbols, right? Because at the end of the day, that's all we've based. That's all we work off of and it's called. 00:44:40It's called memetic, occultism. What they're doing nowadays and what that is, is using propaganda to speak, to people, to their soul, to speak, to them on a deeper level and it, and it speaks of the person's soul and coincidentally, Play-Doh, and Play-Doh, the Republic talked about how they wanted to ban certain Arts, certain frequencies turn sound because they believed that there was talk to the soul, the person that would have waved at them. And if you really think about it, what's happening right now, they're limiting us from doing what we love the Arts from from going, to concerts listening to music. It's almost like they're trying to initiate the same thing to where they're limiting us because all these Arts, they talk to us, right? We feel good when we listen to music, you know, when we watch a movie, the actors, they, they speak to us. And it's like this weird thing where they're limiting us right now with that. So we don't, I don't know. 00:45:40Further the development of the Ascension or whatever it is. And like I said, I've got to the point where I for 00:45:48I don't even try to understand it because it's it's how you're saying. It goes deeper than just overseeing on the surface. It's not just a wall. It's just don't trust the science. The fucking Sciences even know where the fuck it stands and you want me to trust the science and I can show you and I can bring up things of, in the past. That the government, the people who want your best interest, right? The ones that are there. So concerned with your best interest in hand. I can show you things were those. Same people, they fucked society, and they did things against their own world, the same Nazi mentality of a Praying on your citizens and experimenting on them. 00:46:29Operation Paperclip. That same mentality came over here. They were pulling out lsdm people to water, the Tuskegee experiment, all these false flag of things that they do to justify psychological warfare 20 years in Afghanistan for what? 00:46:45Yeah, exactly. So so yeah, so going back to you like hurts and and sound and stuff. That's something that we do here is one of the medicines, the sound healing in binary beats. So to segue into what you're saying is that one? I would I wouldn't encourage everyone that since we we what you're saying is true and we know that you were being experimented on. We know that there is a transhumanism agenda going on. We know that humans were made to be sick and we're nowhere for many years. Reaching the supernatural human potentiality. That we are made to be. We know that. So, in this paradoxical system, we buy being angry and buy keep, you know, 00:47:37Talking about the fucked-up things that they're doing to us. We're going to perpetuate this energy and that's how they feed on us. So, I mean, that's okay. You don't, you don't have to think it but you know, we again that's what we create Separation by saying, we're the good guys or the bad guys. You're the lizards were the humans and it's like, you know, there is a notion of again. If ever were going to have that. Clear for real chance. Do you know mutation of the cosmos? We have to take responsibility for what maybe even if we don't understand it. And that's why we got to start learning the esoterica. We got to start learning about Quantum, healing quantum physics, Quantum reality. We have to learn about sacred geometry. We have to understand, you know, the metaphysics of multidimensionality, all these things are apart of us. That's human. But nobody wants to teach us that in school. They don't even teach us. 00:48:37Human again in the practicing of this inversion, to flip this whole system over is to incorporate what, you know, and she remember what the inversion is. So, yes, let me tell you, when I are used to live in Florida for many years and there, I studied a lot of my, you know, a vehicle and all that stuff. And one of the things that I learned, when I learned about, you know, child sacrifice and the Very disgusting things that they do with children and how rabid pedophilia is in our world. I literally did not want to get out of bed for like a week, cuz I was like, there is no hope. This is disgusting. This is 00:49:28What the fuck? You know, I mean, it's just like jaw dropping. What do you say? What do you do? Okay, so then when we know these things to be true and we know what's going on and why they use in the why they do them, then it's up to us. If we're working for Humanity if we're working, you know, for the greater good, the good of the all we have to find moves to counter. So how do we do that? You're doing it right. Now, you're having the show, your opening conversation for people to chime in in to listen and help and have extension expensive thinking and thought I have the portal which is The Healing Arts, lab and holistic Gallery. Other people are doing amazing things, you know, so it's about having that let's have the conversation to bring it to the table. Let's bring the light in the dark to the table. Like, if we're turning on the light and receiving all the Cockroaches spread everywhere cuz we need to know. We're okay, then we got understand it. Then we got a counter and be like, we're not sucked inside. He's not sucks. Cuz guess what? We're Society. We are and many other people and weird. 00:50:28I'm the friend that I'm asking for. I'm, it's me, it's me the whole time, you know, live the experience of living the dark. Then you'll have more of that. If you choose that, you don't want to have that anymore. Then you can also choose in the other way against personal responsibility. That's the ultimate power. That's what makes you got. No Creations, you know, and I think we've lost touch with that as well. We're always blaming others. What's that called gaslighting, right? It was hiding rejecting and that's what I 00:51:11I haven't ever since this started. I haven't my form of meditation, and my form of reset. I do a little bit of yoga, and I was doing consistently at least once or twice a month. I was floating Ryan sensory, deprivation, and I was helping me a lot right to be able to reset and I feel like ever since this started if I go cuz cuz the whole thing of being there is just you and in just your, your inner demons, right? I feel like with everything I've built up a bike. If I go right now, I'm just going to have like a hard time because it's scary. You don't, you know, like being able to accept responsibility for your choices and and your decision and it's so easy just to blame it on somebody else or blame society, or blame whoever it is, and 00:52:05Hey, you, you what part of Florida are you in? 00:52:09I was in Sarasota and then I lived on the far East Coast up in Titusville in Orlando right now. 00:52:23Yeah, I mean and you know what to it's like you have this great opportunity, have this great opportunity in this malleable creation to just totally like do do, do you want to do it? Do it, big, do it. Small to a creative do it? You know, however you want it and it is based on your belief system. Did you ever see the Dark Crystal? 00:52:51Do the animated like the puppet movie? The original one? Cuz there's one on Netflix to which is also really like that one. But I remember seeing the original one, but I don't run out of work right now. 00:53:09You at least remember the concept of the skeksis and then the mystics. Okay? At the end of The Dark Crystal, I invite you to go back and watch the ending at least a band when they've defeated the skeksis and they put one of the gal selling put the, you know, the crystal Into The Dark Crystal so it can explode and all the stuff and defeat them. We see that when they die their souls or a combination of Mystics and skeksis within the skeksis and the mystics. Does that make sense? So then that tells that's like, what were they?

DEVOTION AND MEDITATION Romans 8:28When you tell others what God has done for you, it gives them freedom to tell their Story as well.

Feminist Management & LeadershipIn this episode, herdacious host Lorelei chats with Cat Ashton about the value of feminism in the workplace. Four times more women than men dropped out of the labor force in 2020 due to COVID-19 challenges. Regardless of whether it’s because of pandemic-related causes or childcare duties, one thing is clear: the workplace is disproportionately unforgiving to women's experiences. As a feminist leader and entrepreneur, Cat teaches us that the gender inequities pervading the workplace today can only be challenged once we begin to understand and accommodate the candid lives of working women. From unlearning our own socialization to creating an empathetic culture, Cat helps us realize that underneath the job titles and day-to-day do’s, we are people first. So, let us go forth with a sense of confidence and unapologetically bring our authentic feminist selves into the workplace!Host: Lorelei GonzalezCo-host: Catherine AshtonCatherine Ashton (she/her) is on a mission to change the way nonprofits raise money.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas’ website.Salient points:Wisdom speaks to all mankind; we are accountable; there is no one on earth out of reach of wisdom's voice.Repeated emphases in Proverbs: the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom; the superiority of wisdom to silver and gold.God in his wisdom created and sustains the world. He is plenty smart to take care of us. We should therefore rely on his wisdom, not our own.Many Christians identify Wisdom in Proverbs 8 with Christ. He is our wisdom (1 Cor 1:30), and through him God created the world (Col 1:15).To become disciplined people, it will be enormously beneficial to watch at wisd0m's door daily.Bonus material: Many Proverbs are suited to instructing leaders, especially leaders of nations, beginning in this very chapter. When you read tomorrow's news, appreciate how accurately the Lord has the political pulse. Another biblical book with keen insight into the dynamics of politics is Ecclesiastes. Here is my selection from Proverbs:By me [the fear of the Lord ] kings reign, and rulers decree what is just -- 8:15By me princes rule, and nobles, all who govern justly -- 8:16Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety -- 11:14In a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but without people a prince is ruined -- 14:2Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people -- 14:34It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for the throne is established by righteousness -- 16:12 (see vv.10-13)The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD -- 21:3Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty -- 22:16Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel -- 25:4Take away the wicked from the presence of the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness -- 25:5When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue -- 28:2When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves -- 28:12Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people -- 28:15A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days -- 28:16When the wicked rise, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase -- 28:28When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan -- 29:2By justice a king builds up the land, but he who exacts gifts tears it down -- 29:4If a ruler listens to falsehood, all his officials will be wicked -- 29:12If a king faithfully judges the poor, his throne will be established forever -- 29:14It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink -- 31:4Lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted -- 31:5Challenge for the day:Make time to watch daily at wisdom's door."The vigour of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts." – George MuellerNext time: Proverbs 9.

Acts 19:2141 (ESV) A Riot at Ephesus 21Now after these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. 22And having sent into Macedonia two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while. 23About that time there arose no little disturbance concerning the Way. 24For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen. 25These he gathered together, with the workmen in similar trades, and said, Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth. 26And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods. 27And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be counted as nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship. 28When they heard this they were enraged and were crying out, Great is Artemis of the Ephesians! 29So the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians who were Pauls companions in travel. 30But when Paul wished to go in among the crowd, the disciples would not let him. 31And even some of the Asiarchs, who were friends of his, sent to him and were urging him not to venture into the theater. 32Now some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together. 33Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander, motioning with his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd. 34But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all cried out with one voice, Great is Artemis of the Ephesians! 35And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, Men of Ephesus, who is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky? 36Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash. 37For you have brought these men here who are neither sacrilegious nor blasphemers of our goddess. 38If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another. 39But if you seek anything further, it shall be settled in the regular assembly. 40For we really are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause that we can give to justify this commotion. 41And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

In life, we will be disappointed when we experience hardship and loss, but our faith and trust in Allah's infinite wisdom will help us endure these trials and keep us focused on the greater goal of salvation in the Hereafter.We should return to the Quran often to hear this message, remind us of the favours of Allah, and keep this worldly existence in a proper perspective. It is through the Quran, which is the greatest way to remember Allah, that our hearts will find rest and assurance.Allah said:أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُNo doubt, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.Surat al-Ra'd 13:28When you have these thoughts, remember:Prophet Jacob (p) cried so much at the loss of his son Joseph. He wasn't sad for a day. Or a month. Or a year. He was distraught for decades. His tears flowed so intensely that his eyesight was depleted. And despite his tears, despite his very human sadness, he was amongst the best of believers God placed on earth. His tears did not mean his belief in God was weak or his trust in Him wavered.And the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had the Quran revealed directly to him. He prayed the longest, with the most intense concentration and with the strongest relationship with God ever possible. And yet he still missed Khadija 10 years after her death.He didn't "get over her." He moved forward with life, but he missed her intensely. And it's okay that it hurts.May ALLAH bless us with wisdom, prosperity and his love here and hereafter. Ameen.

This episode is on the topic of encouraging others during tough times of adversity.  IntroductionI discuss the life of Elijah after defeating the prophets of Baal and then flees from Jezebel for fear of his life and is in a moment of weakness begging God to take his life. Yet God encourages him in I Kings 19:4 Ever been a time when you knew of a battle you were facing and praying for an answer to come through it and feel relief and let you guard down, when BOOM, a sneak attack by Satan. Well, you aren't alone.Definition: Encourage- to inspire with courage, spirit or hope. An attempt to persuade or urge. To fill with courage or strength for the purpose of raising one's confidence. It implies instilling life, energy or vigor into something or someone.Strength- to make strongerProverbs 27:17" As iron sharpens iron,So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend."Describe the process of sharpening a sword by a blacksmith.The need for an armor bearer. A prime example is King Saul's son, Jonathan, and his armor bearer and the battle against the Philistines in I Samuel 14.Exodus 17:8-13 talks about Aaron and Hur lifting Moses' arms during the battle with the Amalekites.Isaiah 35:3 Strengthen the weak hands,And make firm the feeble knees.4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted,“Be strong, do not fear!Behold, your God will come with vengeance,With the recompense of God;He will come and save you.”I Samuel 30- David and his soldiers discouraged after returning from the battle to see wives and children taken.Psalms 27:14 Wait on the Lord;Be of good courage,And He shall strengthen your heart;Wait, I say, on the Lord!Psalms 20:1-4 1 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;2 May He send you from the sanctuary,And strengthen you out of Zion;3 May He remember all your offerings,And accept your burnt sacrifice.4 May He grant you according to your heart's desire,And fulfill all your purpose.Psalms 68:2828 Your God has commanded your strength;Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.Psalms 86:6 & 76 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;And attend to the voice of my supplications.7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,For You will answer me.Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage,And He shall strengthen your heart,All you who hope in the Lord.Deuteronomy 3:28 But command Joshua, and encourage him and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you will see.'I Thessalonians 3:1-10Luke 22:31-32 31 And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”I Peter 5:6-106 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.Samson in Judges 16:28When encouragement is actually a discouragement look at Job and his friends during his season of testing.The one scripture that always brings us strength and encouragement in Christ.Philippians 4:1313 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.Song is "It's All Happening" by Huma

Luke 8:26–39     26Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. 28When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” 29For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.) 30Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. 31And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss. 32Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. 33Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.     34When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 36And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed. 37Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. 38The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39“Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

Luke 4:16–30    16[Jesus] came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. 17And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, 18“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,    because he has anointed me       to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives    and recovering of sight to the blind,       to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 20And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 22And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?” 23And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself.’ What we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.” 24And he said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. 25But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, 26and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. 27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” 28When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. 30But passing through their midst, he went away.

When I think back to the command that Abraham gave his servant Eliezer of Damascus, who ruled over all that he had, to go to his brother's city between the Tigris and Euphrates River-Nahor.Abraham told Eleazar to go to his country and his relatives and take a wife for his son Isaac.Eliezer ask him what if a woman is not willing to come back with me to this country.Abraham answered, The Lord, the God of heaven, Who took me from my father's house, from the land of my family and my birth, Who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, To your offspring I will give this land–He will send His Angel before you, and you will take a wife from there for my son. And if the woman should not be willing to go along after you, then you will be clear from this oath; only you must not take my son back there. (Genesis‬ ‭24:4-8‬)So Eliezer goes back to the homeland from which he came with Abraham. Read about it in Genesis 24:4-28When he came by the well of water were the daughters of men of the city come to draw water he said, O Lord, God of my master Abraham, I pray You, cause me to meet with good success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. See, I stand here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming to draw water. And let it so be that the girl to whom I say, I pray you, let down your jar that I may drink, and she replies, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also–let her be the one whom You have selected and appointed and indicated for Your servant Isaac [to be a wife to him]; and by it I shall know that You have shown kindness and faithfulness to my master. (Genesis‬ ‭24:12-14)‬‬Before Eleazar has finished speaking to the Lord, behold, out came Rebekah, who was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor the brother of Abraham, with her water jar on her shoulder. And the girl was very beautiful and attractive, chaste and modest, and unmarried. And she went down to the well, filled her water jar, and came up. And the servant ran to meet her, and said, I pray you, let me drink a little water from your water jar. And she said, Drink, my lord; and she quickly let down her jar onto her hand and gave him a drink. When she had given him a drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they finish drinking. So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well and drew water for all his camels. The man stood gazing at her in silence, waiting to know if the Lord had made his trip prosperous. Genesis‬ ‭24:15-22)‬ ‬Have you ever wondered why Rebecca met Eliezer at the well? God planned the encounter from the beginning. He did it to show that in your times of need you he has prearranged it for your good.If you go back in Scripture your father Isaac's son Jacob's wife Rachel was found at the well. As well as Moses with Zipporah.Just as The Spirit of God led Rebecca, Rachel and Zipporah to arrive at the right time, and Rebecca arrived at just the right time, so He does for you, Bis Child.God is in control of all the events in your life from beginning till the end.

Romans 15 1We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. 3For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 4For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 5Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 8Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: 9And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. 10And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. 11And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. 12And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. 13Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. 14And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 15Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God, 16That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 17I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. 18For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, 19Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: 21But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand. 22For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you. 23But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you; 24Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company. 25But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. 26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. 27It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. 28When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. 29And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. 30Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; 31That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; 32That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. 33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
