WEBVTT

00:13.200 --> 00:14.700
All right, good morning everybody.

00:15.200 --> 00:18.160
Great to be here at Faith Forward Baptist Church.

00:18.160 --> 00:19.680
I was about to say Sault Winning Baptist Church,

00:19.680 --> 00:21.240
but that's not where I am right now.

00:21.240 --> 00:22.880
Still adjusting to the time change

00:22.880 --> 00:24.360
of coming from the Philippines.

00:24.360 --> 00:27.480
And so I wanna just first thank Pastor Anderson

00:27.480 --> 00:29.600
for the hospitality and the opportunity

00:29.600 --> 00:31.340
to come here and preach.

00:31.340 --> 00:33.720
And we got to fellowship for a while last night.

00:33.720 --> 00:35.000
And also Brother Segura,

00:35.000 --> 00:37.240
I got to spend some time with yesterday as well.

00:37.240 --> 00:40.600
It's great to see some people that are still here

00:40.600 --> 00:43.160
15 years later, because I've been...

00:43.160 --> 00:43.200
you

00:43.200 --> 00:46.840
It's been more than 15 years since I've been a member here.

00:46.840 --> 00:51.720
I did visit the church once, I think 10 years ago when my wife and I got married.

00:51.720 --> 00:56.020
We went to our honeymoon in Sedona, so we came down here to visit.

00:56.020 --> 00:59.760
It's great to see some of the same faces.

00:59.760 --> 01:02.920
Considering churches like this have a big turnover because of the hard preaching, it's

01:02.920 --> 01:07.260
great to see people that are still here more than a decade later, but also just a lot of

01:07.260 --> 01:08.720
new faces.

01:08.720 --> 01:11.200
that I haven't met or I met briefly or I've seen you.

01:11.200 --> 01:15.680
online or whatever. It's great to have you here. It's just great to have this opportunity.

01:15.680 --> 01:21.260
And you might think that I'm preaching on missions or soul winning since I'm a missionary,

01:21.260 --> 01:26.440
but honestly that just doesn't relate to the sermons at all today really. And I do want

01:26.440 --> 01:30.440
to quickly try to encourage you though with your soul winning. Because I know what it's

01:30.440 --> 01:36.200
like to be at a church where obviously in the Philippines it is very receptive. We actually

01:36.200 --> 01:39.200
We have a few people here that were members of our church in the Philippines.

01:39.200 --> 01:42.640
And obviously the soul winning here is not as receptive.

01:42.640 --> 01:46.840
And sometimes you're kind of just going about your daily grind or weekly grind.

01:46.840 --> 01:50.640
You go soul winning, you get one person saved, and you get one the next week.

01:50.640 --> 01:56.340
And you might look online and see like crazy numbers and kind of lose your zeal for soul winning.

01:56.340 --> 02:00.240
But one thing to remember is you're rewarded for the work you do.

02:01.100 --> 02:07.040
Obviously if you're in an area and obviously Phoenix is a receptive area, but if you're in an area that is not as receptive

02:07.040 --> 02:11.860
You're still rewarded for the work you do and you can't do anything if people don't get saved

02:12.100 --> 02:18.140
But the other thing I want you to understand is just the impact this church is having not just in

02:18.740 --> 02:23.180
Arizona not just in this nation, but honestly in the entire world

02:23.800 --> 02:28.800
You know, we have probably 20 people at our churches in the Philippines

02:28.800 --> 02:31.800
that got saved from the preaching at this church.

02:31.800 --> 02:35.800
You know, the first day we had church service, you know, we had, you know,

02:35.800 --> 02:40.200
we had regularly in the 20s, mid-20s for a normal church service

02:40.200 --> 02:43.800
from day one, and not just people that were at church, people that go soul winning.

02:43.800 --> 02:46.800
And obviously when somebody new comes to church, that's awesome,

02:46.800 --> 02:49.800
but getting them to take the next step to be in a soul winner?

02:50.100 --> 02:51.800
That's kind of hard sometimes.

02:51.800 --> 02:54.100
And from day one, we had people.

02:54.100 --> 02:56.800
The church in Poland that Pastor Anderson mentioned,

02:56.800 --> 02:58.900
there's a lot of people from that church

02:58.900 --> 03:01.100
that got saved from the ministry here.

03:01.100 --> 03:03.400
You know, Pastor Plevniak's wife got saved

03:03.400 --> 03:05.200
from the preaching at this church.

03:05.200 --> 03:06.400
You know, our church in Melbourne,

03:06.400 --> 03:08.400
you're actually going to meet several of the men here

03:08.400 --> 03:12.700
in a few weeks, you know, during the men's preaching training conference.

03:13.300 --> 03:15.900
They got saved from the preaching at this church.

03:15.900 --> 03:18.400
So I want you to realize when you're going soul winning

03:18.400 --> 03:21.340
for a local church here in Phoenix,

03:21.340 --> 03:23.680
it's like you're actually having a huge impact,

03:23.680 --> 03:26.580
not just here, but impacting people worldwide.

03:26.900 --> 03:31.960
So, support your pastor, love your pastor through the ups, through the downs.

03:31.960 --> 03:35.060
Obviously, you've been through it if you've been here for a while.

03:35.060 --> 03:37.460
Support him and you're helping a great work be done.

03:37.460 --> 03:43.100
Now, we're here in Revelation chapter 2 and notice what it says here in verse number 18.

03:43.100 --> 03:47.900
And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write, these things saith the Son of God,

03:47.900 --> 03:52.300
who hath His eyes like unto a flame of fire, and His feet are like fine brass.

03:52.300 --> 04:00.800
I know thy works in charity and service and faith and thy patience and thy works and the last to be more than the first."

04:00.800 --> 04:06.000
Now in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 you're going to have seven different churches listed

04:06.000 --> 04:11.500
and of those seven churches, five of them have at least one thing negative mentioned.

04:11.900 --> 04:16.460
And even if you are a great church, you have ups, you have downs, you have problems that

04:16.460 --> 04:21.820
you have to deal with, and of these seven churches, five of them have at least one issue.

04:21.820 --> 04:27.140
But it's important to understand that all of these seven churches are bona fide and

04:27.140 --> 04:31.540
real churches that God has a stamp of approval on.

04:31.540 --> 04:36.180
So realize, if we were to bring this to the modern day, the church in Thyatira would not

04:36.180 --> 04:38.340
be the Pentecostal church down the street.

04:38.700 --> 04:40.700
It would not be the Mormons.

04:40.700 --> 04:42.700
It would not be the Catholics.

04:42.900 --> 04:47.020
You'd be looking at a fundamental Baptist, soul-winning church.

04:47.020 --> 04:51.780
You know, a church like Faithful Word Baptist Church, or a like-minded church.

04:51.780 --> 04:53.620
That is what you would be looking at.

04:53.620 --> 04:58.380
Now it's important to understand this because when you read verse 20, it's kind of crazy.

04:58.380 --> 05:04.420
It says, notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest or allowest

05:04.420 --> 05:10.520
that woman Jezebel, which calleth thirself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants

05:10.900 --> 05:14.900
fornication and to eat things sacrificed onto idols.

05:14.900 --> 05:18.900
Now when you're reading that, are those small sins or big sins?

05:18.900 --> 05:20.900
They're pretty big sins.

05:21.400 --> 05:25.940
See a lot of people have this mindset well, you know what if you're right with God, you're never gonna have any problems

05:25.940 --> 05:31.960
No what churches do many churches will cover their problems and just not reveal them

05:32.240 --> 05:38.940
Rather than being open and try to pretend they don't exist all churches are gonna go through problems if they last through the years

05:39.440 --> 05:46.020
Okay, this is a major problem, but but I want you to understand this woman isn't really like Joyce Meyer

05:46.700 --> 05:49.860
Because there's no way you would let Joyce Meyer preach this church

05:50.540 --> 05:52.540
This isn't a Pentecostal church

05:52.860 --> 05:56.620
It's not like pastor Anderson said hey, you know what? It's a special service

05:56.620 --> 06:01.820
We got pastor Matthew Stuckey in the morning, and then we got mrs. Kristan Stuckey in the evening service

06:02.860 --> 06:04.500
Doesn't work that way

06:04.500 --> 06:08.540
You're not gonna let a woman get up and preach behind the pulpit at this church

06:10.000 --> 06:14.840
And so look, I don't believe this woman Jezebel is like the Sunday morning preacher or the

06:14.840 --> 06:20.200
Sunday night preacher, but obviously she is teaching people in a very subtle way and just

06:20.200 --> 06:22.880
teaching these wicked and horrible things.

06:22.880 --> 06:25.000
But this is not a Pentecostal church.

06:25.000 --> 06:26.420
It's not the Mormons.

06:26.420 --> 06:31.040
This is a legitimate, real, and what we would say is fundamental Baptist type church here

06:31.040 --> 06:33.000
with the church in Thyatira.

06:33.500 --> 06:38.100
Another thing to take note of here is the Bible says her name is Jezebel.

06:38.100 --> 06:43.700
Now of course you see the name Jezebel and the first thing that comes to your mind is Jezebel from the Old Testament.

06:43.700 --> 06:49.500
I would say the most evil and wicked woman in the entire Bible is Jezebel.

06:49.500 --> 06:54.300
And so when it comes to this person named Jezebel, there's kind of two ways to look at this.

06:54.500 --> 06:59.300
Either the parents didn't really care that this Jezebel is this wicked person from the

06:59.300 --> 07:04.620
Old Testament, or the Bible is just kind of using it to describe her.

07:04.620 --> 07:10.180
Kind of like he's a Judas, or she's a Jezebel.

07:10.180 --> 07:16.740
Either way, I want you to realize the Bible is connecting the Old Testament Jezebel with

07:16.740 --> 07:17.740
the New Testament Jezebel.

07:17.740 --> 07:19.740
And I want to prove that to you further.

07:19.740 --> 07:21.060
Notice what it says here in verse 20.

07:21.800 --> 07:26.360
It says, notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that

07:26.360 --> 07:32.200
woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit

07:32.200 --> 07:35.720
fornication and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

07:35.720 --> 07:37.780
The Bible mentions two things here.

07:37.780 --> 07:40.980
Number one, to commit fornication.

07:40.980 --> 07:44.360
Number two, eating things sacrificed unto idols.

07:44.360 --> 07:47.360
Now turn your Bible to 2 Kings 9.

07:59.500 --> 08:05.100
And I think on Wednesday nights you just went through 2 Kings 9, the destruction and demise of Jezebel.

08:05.100 --> 08:12.400
And here's what it says about Jezebel here in 2 Kings 9, verse number 22.

08:12.400 --> 08:15.240
And it came to pass when Joram saw Jehu that he said,

08:15.240 --> 08:16.680
Is it peace, Jehu?

08:16.680 --> 08:19.740
And answered, What peace so long as the whoredoms

08:19.740 --> 08:23.680
of thy mother Jezebel, and her witchcrafts are so many?

08:24.200 --> 08:30.200
Now what it said in the New Testament was fornication and eating things sacrificed unto idols.

08:30.200 --> 08:35.200
Here in the Old Testament, different woman, different Jezebel, and it says,

08:35.200 --> 08:38.200
Hortums and witchcrafts.

08:38.600 --> 08:42.540
Now obviously you know there's a literal sense of being a whore and there's a symbolic

08:42.540 --> 08:47.660
sense of just basically cheating on the true God, but when you're thinking of whoredoms

08:47.660 --> 08:49.960
you're thinking of sexual sin, right?

08:49.960 --> 08:53.980
Now remember it said in the New Testament fornication.

08:53.980 --> 08:57.400
Fornication and whoredoms line up pretty well, don't they?

08:57.400 --> 09:02.960
The other thing mentioned is eating things sacrificed unto idols, so think of idolatry

09:02.960 --> 09:04.600
and it says witchcraft.

09:05.100 --> 09:10.500
Now at first glance you might say, well what's the connection between idolatry and witchcraft?

09:10.500 --> 09:13.740
And what I would say to you is, you're only saying that because in America there's not

09:13.740 --> 09:14.820
a lot of idolatry.

09:15.500 --> 09:18.980
Because I'm telling you there are people here that are from the Philippines.

09:18.980 --> 09:20.880
There are people here from India.

09:20.880 --> 09:23.800
And there is certainly sorcery involved in idolatry.

09:23.800 --> 09:28.600
But not only that, the Bible makes the connection between witchcraft and idolatry.

09:28.600 --> 09:34.640
The word witchcraft or witchcrafts appears in six different verses in our King James

09:34.640 --> 09:35.640
Bible.

09:35.640 --> 09:39.280
Now go in your Bible to 1 Samuel chapter 15.

09:39.280 --> 09:40.120
Samuel 15.

09:42.600 --> 09:48.440
What I'm trying to do to you right now is just to show you there is a connection the Bible is making

09:48.440 --> 09:53.280
between the Old Testament Jezebel and the New Testament Jezebel.

09:53.280 --> 09:58.240
Of these six references, one of these references as they're turning to 1 Samuel 15

09:58.240 --> 10:03.720
is in Galatians as there's a comparison between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the spirit.

10:03.800 --> 10:10.760
When the Bible gives long lists of characteristics or sins, it will usually link things together

10:10.760 --> 10:11.760
that are similar.

10:11.760 --> 10:17.400
And what the Bible says in verse number 20 is, idolatry, witchcraft.

10:17.400 --> 10:20.280
Witchcraft follows directly after idolatry.

10:20.280 --> 10:24.840
The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 33 verse 6 it says witchcraft.

10:24.840 --> 10:27.560
The next verse says idol.

10:27.560 --> 10:31.800
In Micah 5.12 the Bible says, witchcrafts, Micah 5.13.

10:31.800 --> 10:38.580
it says image or idle right there's only six references those are three right

10:38.580 --> 10:42.120
there where they're directly connected and probably the strongest link is here

10:42.120 --> 10:45.700
in first Samuel 15 verse 23 where the Bible says

10:46.000 --> 10:53.200
For rebellion is as a sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

10:53.200 --> 10:57.400
So in the same verse you're seeing a connection between witchcraft and idolatry.

10:57.400 --> 11:03.760
You say, pastor, what is the connection between idolatry and sorcery?

11:04.200 --> 11:12.100
You know, in the Philippines, the largest Catholic idolatrous festival happens every year in January in Metro Manila.

11:12.100 --> 11:21.200
You will have millions of people that hit the streets, and there is this morbid and weird-looking idol of Jesus.

11:21.200 --> 11:24.100
Now, people here from the Philippines, they know exactly what I'm saying.

11:24.100 --> 11:26.200
Maybe you've seen pictures I've posted.

11:26.200 --> 11:31.100
It's like the most grotesque and weird idol you've ever seen in your life.

11:31.500 --> 11:34.740
and there will be millions of people that crowd the streets

11:34.740 --> 11:39.260
and they believe that if they touch this idol it will forgive their sins

11:39.260 --> 11:43.020
they believe if they touch this idol it will heal their cancer

11:43.020 --> 11:46.500
they believe they touch this idol they're gonna be prosperous

11:46.500 --> 11:50.180
they believe there's something supernatural about touching this idol

11:50.180 --> 11:54.600
and look if you've ever seen videos of people that go to Mecca and touch the

11:54.600 --> 11:55.380
Kaaba

11:55.380 --> 11:57.380
They go crazy don't they?

11:58.200 --> 12:04.800
And they will say there's a supernatural feeling that comes over when you touch this that you cannot understand.

12:04.800 --> 12:09.800
You watch documentaries where people go to pilgrimages of Hinduism,

12:09.800 --> 12:16.400
and they will say there is a feeling that comes over you that you don't understand.

12:16.400 --> 12:18.500
You say, what is actually taking place with these idols?

12:18.500 --> 12:19.900
Well, what I believe...

12:20.200 --> 12:22.240
is that as they touch these idols,

12:22.240 --> 12:25.000
even though it is a piece of stone or metal,

12:25.000 --> 12:28.440
that idol acts as a mediator to pass devils

12:28.440 --> 12:30.380
from one person to another.

12:31.200 --> 12:37.800
So basically as you're worshiping these idols all the sudden all these spirits are being attracted

12:37.800 --> 12:40.080
and then as you touch this idol a

12:40.700 --> 12:44.520
Supernatural feeling comes over you that you would not believe okay

12:44.620 --> 12:49.400
There is sorcery involved with idolatry in the Bible is making this connection

12:49.900 --> 12:58.420
The Bible is making a connection between the Old Testament Jezebel and the New Testament Jezebel go to first Kings chapter 18

12:59.500 --> 13:00.700
First Gang's 18.

13:04.800 --> 13:10.000
Look, even if you're not in church, the name Jezebel has a very negative connotation, doesn't it?

13:11.100 --> 13:15.700
I mean, I kind of grew up in a Christian home, but I didn't really regularly go to church.

13:15.700 --> 13:17.700
You know, I didn't get saved at a young age.

13:18.400 --> 13:19.800
But I knew the name Jezebel.

13:20.800 --> 13:22.200
I knew the name Judas.

13:22.300 --> 13:23.800
I knew the name Jezebel.

13:24.000 --> 13:30.300
And of course, if you were to call someone a Jezebel, it was sort of like calling them a whore or something just really awful.

13:31.500 --> 13:34.540
It's like the worst insult calling a woman a Jezebel.

13:34.540 --> 13:36.460
And you know, when you think of Jezebel,

13:36.460 --> 13:39.180
what immediately would pop to my head,

13:39.180 --> 13:41.300
because I grew up in a conservative home,

13:41.300 --> 13:45.140
so I'm thinking Hillary Clinton.

13:45.140 --> 13:46.700
Right?

13:46.700 --> 13:50.460
I'm thinking Michelle Obama.

13:50.460 --> 13:52.740
I'm thinking Kamala Harris.

13:52.740 --> 13:55.300
I mean, these wicked, hardcore feminists, it's like, man,

13:55.300 --> 13:56.380
they're Jezebels.

13:57.100 --> 14:02.600
But there's one major difference between those Jezebels and the Jezebel of the Old Testament.

14:02.600 --> 14:08.100
And the major difference is the Jezebel of the Old Testament was incredibly religious.

14:08.100 --> 14:13.100
I don't think any one of us would say that Hillary Clinton is a very religious woman.

14:13.100 --> 14:15.100
Or Kamala Harris.

14:15.100 --> 14:19.100
But see the Jezebel of the Old Testament was incredibly religious.

14:19.100 --> 14:22.100
And notice what it says here in 1 Kings 18.

14:23.600 --> 14:29.600
Verse 17, and it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou

14:29.600 --> 14:30.800
he that troubleth Israel?

14:30.800 --> 14:34.720
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel, but thou in thy father's house, and that

14:34.720 --> 14:38.440
ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Balaam.

14:38.440 --> 14:43.200
Now therefore send and gather to me all Israel unto Mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal

14:43.200 --> 14:47.400
450, and the prophets of the groves 400.

14:47.400 --> 14:51.320
Notice this, which eat at Jezebel's table.

14:52.400 --> 14:58.400
I mean isn't it true when you read first Kings, Jezebel is very closely connected to the false prophets.

14:58.400 --> 15:00.400
Why does she want to kill Elijah?

15:00.400 --> 15:03.400
Because he gets the false prophets put to death.

15:03.400 --> 15:07.400
So yeah, I mean Hillary Clinton is a form of Jezebel,

15:07.400 --> 15:11.400
but honestly the Jezebel of the Old Testament was actually a very religious woman.

15:11.400 --> 15:14.400
And of course the Jezebel of the New Testament,

15:14.400 --> 15:19.400
the Jezebel of the New Testament is doing this inside of a local New Testament church.

15:20.400 --> 15:25.400
So here's the thing about this, when we're looking at what we would call the spirit of Jezebel,

15:25.400 --> 15:30.400
it's more closely associated with something that's religious than non-religious.

15:30.400 --> 15:39.400
And the thing is, obviously people like Hillary Clinton are awful and wicked, and look, 99% if not 100% of people here agree with what I said.

15:39.400 --> 15:42.100
And it's not controversial at a church like this.

15:42.500 --> 15:46.960
But see, I think we can get the mindset, okay, Jezebel is so awful and wicked, but this would

15:46.960 --> 15:50.300
never happen in a church, would it?

15:50.300 --> 15:55.100
And yet, the Jezebel of the Old Testament is very religious, and the Jezebel of the

15:55.100 --> 16:00.420
New Testament, she's doing this inside of a local church, okay?

16:00.420 --> 16:03.300
Go in your Bible to 1 Kings chapter 16.

16:03.300 --> 16:04.060
King 16.

16:06.800 --> 16:09.800
And the name of the sermon is the Spirit of Jezebel.

16:09.800 --> 16:11.200
The Spirit of Jezebel.

16:11.200 --> 16:14.400
Another way you could look at this is the Spirit of feminism,

16:14.400 --> 16:19.400
especially as it comes into a local church.

16:19.400 --> 16:21.000
Just a couple weeks ago...

16:21.100 --> 16:28.420
My wife's parents actually live in Washington DC and they were visiting the Philippines and so you know they took us out to the beach

16:28.420 --> 16:31.200
Which was great, and you know I like to relax

16:31.400 --> 16:38.220
You know when you're in the ministry because the ministry is stressful and tough and so I'm not just soul-winning every single day

16:38.220 --> 16:40.620
You know I have times where I take breaks go on vacation

16:41.220 --> 16:45.780
Relax like to do things with the kids, so you know we're at the beach. I just want to relax right

16:46.500 --> 16:53.900
I just want no stress, no problems, I want to just turn off my phone, not think about anything,

16:53.900 --> 16:59.500
and you know, I got to give credit where credit's due to where I got this sermon idea.

16:59.500 --> 17:07.200
And as I'm at the beach, you know, I get informed, I hear that I've been called out in a video by Tommy McMurtry.

17:07.200 --> 17:12.300
I wasn't watching the video. I didn't care. And it's like, okay, whatever.

17:12.500 --> 17:16.900
And then all of a sudden I see in the comments that not even just Tommy called me out,

17:16.900 --> 17:19.900
but Cassandra McMurtry challenged me.

17:19.900 --> 17:23.900
And I'm just thinking like, what in the world?

17:23.900 --> 17:26.400
It's just like, don't you have enough problems?

17:26.400 --> 17:29.400
And so, she's the inspiration for the sermon.

17:30.200 --> 17:34.200
I had a different sermon planned just a couple weeks ago

17:34.200 --> 17:37.400
and then she called me out and it's just like okay whatever

17:37.400 --> 17:41.640
and I got this idea I was reading Revelation I was like you know the spirit of Jezebel

17:41.640 --> 17:43.320
sounds like a pretty good sermon idea

17:43.320 --> 17:47.720
and so let me just read you a little bit of what she said and

17:47.720 --> 17:51.360
you know what I had never seen a single video of hers

17:51.360 --> 17:56.000
until a few weeks ago my life was so much better until a couple weeks ago

17:58.100 --> 18:00.940
I had never seen a single video of hers.

18:00.940 --> 18:05.100
I had seen comments about things that she had said or a 30 second clip.

18:05.100 --> 18:09.700
I had never watched a video, but in preparation of the sermon, I watched several different

18:09.700 --> 18:11.300
videos that she had.

18:11.300 --> 18:15.940
And honestly, I got done writing the sermon and I didn't add anything over the last week

18:15.940 --> 18:18.780
and a half where she went crazy, for those that pay attention online.

18:19.200 --> 18:21.700
I was like, I'm done, I gotta get ready for the trip to the US.

18:21.700 --> 18:23.700
It's like, I already got my sermon content.

18:23.700 --> 18:26.700
There's enough on the Baptist bias and other things that talk about this.

18:26.700 --> 18:28.700
But here's what she said on YouTube.

18:28.700 --> 18:32.200
This is a video where Tommy McMurtry is interviewing Joe Jones,

18:32.200 --> 18:34.700
and apparently Joe Jones is better than us,

18:35.700 --> 18:40.200
even though in Jude 1 he's preaching the false heresy with lasciviousness

18:40.200 --> 18:42.700
that the Bible's saying makes you a false prophet.

18:44.200 --> 18:45.700
But here's what she said.

18:45.900 --> 18:49.800
Matthew Stuckey, this is my challenge to you.

18:49.900 --> 18:54.200
Please post time stamps and links to any video backing up your claim.

18:54.200 --> 18:56.700
This is your claim and your exact words.

18:56.700 --> 19:02.100
Imagine being a pastor's wife and condoning fornication slash statutory rape

19:02.100 --> 19:04.300
while also condemning sex between a married couple.

19:04.300 --> 19:08.600
Now, I made this comment because Brother Ben Namm, Brother Ben the Baptist,

19:08.600 --> 19:11.200
put up a video and I made a comment on it.

19:11.200 --> 19:14.900
And, you know, he showed in the video exactly what I'm saying and then I commented on it.

19:14.900 --> 19:17.400
And she says, I have never done either.

19:17.600 --> 19:19.600
Okay, well, we'll see later on in the sermon

19:20.140 --> 19:25.940
Okay, I will be waiting for you to back up your claims with my exact quotes from when I said those two things

19:26.560 --> 19:32.860
Edit if you do not provide your proof of exact quotes or take back your statement with an apology

19:33.460 --> 19:37.700
For bold-faced lying let it be noted that you are a liar

19:38.380 --> 19:40.380
railer and a slanderer

19:40.700 --> 19:45.820
Okay, so I kind of look at it like this. It's kind of like on the playground. It's like you say something mean

19:45.820 --> 19:47.500
It's like no, that's not me. I'm rubber

19:47.500 --> 19:51.420
You know bounces off of me because I said Tommy McMurtry is the biggest railer

19:51.780 --> 19:56.140
But one thing I liked about this statement notice. She said at the end of that liar

19:56.820 --> 19:58.820
railer and a slanderer

19:58.940 --> 20:01.240
It sounds like she knows what railing is

20:02.620 --> 20:04.400
It's like good job

20:04.900 --> 20:09.500
Maybe your husband can preach on it because that's clearly about lying, slandering.

20:09.500 --> 20:10.500
That's the context.

20:10.500 --> 20:11.740
It's like, well, she got that right.

20:13.600 --> 20:17.200
And so she made this statement and I was just like, you know what, whatever.

20:17.200 --> 20:21.540
You know, write a sermon about it, the spirit of Jezebel, and we'll look at it later on.

20:21.540 --> 20:24.840
You have to understand, if you're a pastor and you put sermons online,

20:24.840 --> 20:29.540
a lot of people challenge you and want to debate you and waste your time.

20:29.540 --> 20:33.280
So me not responding wouldn't have proven anything, it would just say I didn't respond.

20:33.400 --> 20:40.000
Okay, but I am going to show you in the sermon because I have a lot of quotes from her that she said in various videos

20:40.360 --> 20:46.240
One of the main videos I got quotes from was a video called am I a feminist and this is a video that came out

20:46.240 --> 20:51.200
About ten months ago where you know a lot of churches have said you know she's promoting feminist agenda

20:51.200 --> 20:57.640
You know agenda and she's trying to defend the fact. She's not a feminist. Okay. Keep that in mind

20:58.120 --> 21:00.520
She's defending. She's not a feminist

21:01.100 --> 21:03.580
Here are her exact words.

21:03.580 --> 21:05.580
I have a lot of quotes.

21:05.580 --> 21:12.700
In America, if we had good men that were leaders, and men were doing their role, and men were

21:12.700 --> 21:18.100
doing their part, and men were cherishing their wives, and loving their wives as Christ

21:18.100 --> 21:22.380
did, then there would be no need for feminism.

21:25.500 --> 21:27.000
No need.

21:29.300 --> 21:35.300
Now she starts off this video talking about how feminism started as such a wonderful thing.

21:35.300 --> 21:37.300
And it went wrong.

21:37.300 --> 21:45.300
And I get a quick look on AI, you know it would be a cool future sermon, the history of feminism, there's supposedly four waves of feminism.

21:45.300 --> 21:50.300
You know, the first wave of feminism, what it did is it was like opening Pandora's box.

21:50.300 --> 21:55.300
It wasn't like it is today, but it set everything in motion.

21:56.500 --> 21:58.100
And one of the things she mentioned is a good thing.

21:58.100 --> 22:01.400
She's like the women were tired of their husbands getting drunk,

22:01.400 --> 22:04.400
so they protested to make drinking illegal.

22:04.400 --> 22:07.900
Well, show me where drinking is illegal in the Bible.

22:07.900 --> 22:09.900
It's a sin.

22:09.900 --> 22:12.300
I'm against all drinking.

22:12.300 --> 22:16.700
But are you just going to make every sin illegal?

22:16.700 --> 22:19.100
I mean, if God doesn't make it illegal, it shouldn't be illegal.

22:19.500 --> 22:23.820
And that was used to help the women get political power and get their voice out.

22:23.820 --> 22:25.980
And then of course it's gotten worse and worse and worse.

22:25.980 --> 22:33.100
But in her own words, if men were doing their part and men were cherishing their lives and men did this,

22:33.100 --> 22:36.220
then there would be no need for feminism.

22:36.220 --> 22:38.380
She says later on in the video,

22:38.380 --> 22:43.580
I think there is no need for feminism in a world where men do their part.

22:44.800 --> 22:48.080
It's like half of that's a wonderful statement.

22:48.080 --> 22:49.920
I think there's no need for feminism.

22:49.920 --> 22:51.160
Stop.

22:51.160 --> 22:52.320
Period.

22:52.320 --> 22:53.320
End of story.

22:53.320 --> 22:55.600
Don't keep going.

22:55.600 --> 22:58.440
But in a world where men do their part.

22:58.440 --> 22:59.240
Now here's the thing.

22:59.240 --> 23:03.040
Feminism exists because men didn't put a stop to it.

23:03.040 --> 23:07.560
But don't tell me it's a good thing or there's a need for it.

23:07.560 --> 23:08.440
Later on in the video.

23:09.900 --> 23:13.140
She talks about, you know, the wife following the husband

23:13.140 --> 23:16.940
and submitting to the husband and him being the leader.

23:16.940 --> 23:22.900
And she says, I don't mind being completely dependent on my man.

23:22.900 --> 23:25.640
And 20 seconds later in the same context,

23:25.640 --> 23:29.940
he pretty much gives me whatever I want.

23:32.500 --> 23:36.900
This isn't a video where she's defending she's not a feminist.

23:36.900 --> 23:39.600
You know what she's saying there when you put those quotes together?

23:39.600 --> 23:42.100
Her interpretation of Ephesians chapter 5,

23:42.100 --> 23:45.400
men laying down their lives and loving their wives,

23:45.400 --> 23:48.400
do everything your wives want.

23:48.400 --> 23:50.200
That's what she's saying.

23:50.200 --> 23:53.600
I mean is that your interpretation of Ephesians 5?

23:53.600 --> 23:56.400
Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church.

23:56.400 --> 23:58.600
Therefore do everything they want.

23:59.000 --> 24:05.740
Give them everything they want. Never say no. Never say no to your kids. Never say no to your wife.

24:05.740 --> 24:09.120
Just give them everything they want no matter what.

24:09.120 --> 24:13.320
And you know what? Sadly, because a lot of men are doing that, that's why churches like this have less people.

24:13.320 --> 24:18.200
Why? It's not that the men have a problem with this church. It's the wives.

24:19.600 --> 24:25.840
I'm amazed as I saw these videos, all of these people that are ex-New IFB and people I know

24:25.840 --> 24:30.600
where it's like the wives are just throwing out all these statements, husbands saying

24:30.600 --> 24:31.600
nothing.

24:31.600 --> 24:37.440
Here's the thing, every single one of those men is embarrassed by their wives.

24:37.440 --> 24:40.520
And they don't want to tell their wives this, but inside their head they're thinking,

24:40.520 --> 24:42.040
can you shut up?

24:42.040 --> 24:45.080
It's like, why are you embarrassing me?

24:46.300 --> 24:48.300
That's what they're thinking.

24:48.300 --> 24:50.300
Man, I'm trying to help these men out.

24:50.300 --> 24:54.300
Play this sermon and then maybe they'll get the preaching and figure it out.

24:54.300 --> 25:02.300
Because every single one of those men is going to be embarrassed by his wife acting brawling and loud and acting like a man.

25:02.300 --> 25:05.300
And they're not going to say it.

25:05.300 --> 25:07.300
You say, why aren't they going to say it then if it's true?

25:07.300 --> 25:13.300
Because of the fact, you know, the Bible says the married care for the things of the world.

25:13.600 --> 25:15.000
how we may please his wife.

25:15.000 --> 25:18.820
And that's not necessarily a bad thing because if you're married,

25:18.820 --> 25:20.960
you should want to make your spouse happy, absolutely.

25:21.580 --> 25:22.960
We do need to be better husbands.

25:22.960 --> 25:24.600
We do need to spend time with our wives.

25:24.600 --> 25:25.700
We do need to be loving.

25:26.260 --> 25:30.960
But it's like all the emphasis, it's men, it's men, it's men, it's men.

25:30.960 --> 25:38.000
And it's like the problem people have is this idea of submitting to your husband.

25:38.000 --> 25:38.300
It's not that we're just implying that you're not

25:39.600 --> 25:38.300
going to do it.

25:39.000 --> 25:44.660
Then of course there's the pretty interpretation where it's like, well you know what, in those verses it's like you both submit to each other.

25:45.660 --> 25:47.660
Submitting one to another in the fear of God.

25:48.660 --> 25:53.160
It's like when the Bible just contradicts itself in the next verse where it says wives submit to husbands.

25:55.160 --> 26:03.160
And so no, the Bible clearly teaches that wives are to be in submission. You say, well pastor, I'm submitting to my husband right now because I'm at church.

26:03.160 --> 26:05.160
Well do you want to be at church today?

26:05.700 --> 26:06.700
Yes, I do.

26:06.700 --> 26:07.700
Well, that's not submitting.

26:07.700 --> 26:10.540
You already want to do it.

26:10.540 --> 26:15.940
What submission is, is when there's something you don't want to do and you willingly submit

26:15.940 --> 26:20.980
or put yourself underneath like a submarine in the water, underneath the wishes of your

26:20.980 --> 26:25.020
husband, even if you disagree, why?

26:25.020 --> 26:27.100
Because thus saith the Lord.

26:27.100 --> 26:27.940
That's what the Bible says.

26:29.400 --> 26:31.740
You say, but she said she's not a feminist.

26:31.740 --> 26:32.620
Yeah, you know what?

26:32.620 --> 26:38.300
I hear a lot of Pentecostals say they don't believe in a work salvation.

26:38.300 --> 26:40.020
Right?

26:40.020 --> 26:43.860
Mormons all the time say we're saved by grace.

26:43.860 --> 26:48.820
And then they redefine it in 2 Nephi 25.

26:48.820 --> 26:52.260
Just because somebody says something doesn't mean it's actually true.

26:53.100 --> 26:57.660
So it's like you're saying all these feminist things and then you're like, you know, I'm not a feminist.

26:57.660 --> 27:01.100
I believe that women should follow their husbands.

27:01.100 --> 27:06.500
But then you're saying all these other things that are against what the Bible's saying.

27:07.100 --> 27:08.860
So you be the judge today.

27:08.860 --> 27:09.860
I'm going to preach this sermon.

27:09.860 --> 27:10.860
We have a lot of quotes.

27:10.860 --> 27:13.580
We're going to see what the Bible says about this Old Testament woman, Jezebel.

27:13.580 --> 27:16.460
You can decide for yourself whether or not she's a feminist.

27:16.460 --> 27:18.860
In my opinion, yeah, it's pretty obvious.

27:18.860 --> 27:20.940
She considered herself a prophetess.

27:20.940 --> 27:23.300
She's so important, wants to teach everybody.

27:23.300 --> 27:24.300
It's like, okay.

27:24.300 --> 27:31.020
What the Bible says, just sit down, shut up, be meek and quiet.

27:31.020 --> 27:31.860
Number one.

27:32.500 --> 27:38.400
We're in 1st King 16 is this one of the problems with the Old Testament Jezebel is she causes her husband to sin

27:38.940 --> 27:43.220
She causes her husband not to serve God notice what it says here in 1st King 16 in

27:45.220 --> 27:51.580
Verse 29 and then the 30 and 8th year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel and

27:51.660 --> 27:55.180
Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria 20 and two years

27:55.700 --> 28:01.260
Ahab the son of Amorite did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him and it came to pass as

28:01.260 --> 28:06.260
If it had been a light thing from to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat that he took to wife

28:06.540 --> 28:12.940
Jezebel the daughter ofethbal king of the zidonians and went and served Baal and worshiped him so notice

28:13.500 --> 28:15.340
Ahab is not a good guy

28:15.340 --> 28:21.980
Right. He's already going down a road of sin. He's already doing wrong, but above that he married Jezebel

28:22.600 --> 28:28.200
And then he's worshipping all of these, you know, false gods, right?

28:28.200 --> 28:32.200
You're seeing the impact Jezebel has on him to do wrong.

28:32.200 --> 28:33.800
And then the Bible says in verse 32,

28:33.800 --> 28:37.400
And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

28:37.400 --> 28:41.100
And Ahab made a grove, and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger,

28:41.100 --> 28:44.400
than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

28:44.400 --> 28:46.300
Go to 1 Kings 21.

28:46.300 --> 28:47.600
1 Kings 21.

28:55.000 --> 28:56.000
1st Kings 21.

28:56.000 --> 29:01.680
And look, the reason why I'm showing you the Old Testament Jezebel is honestly there's

29:01.680 --> 29:06.240
not a lot of verses on the New Testament Jezebel.

29:06.240 --> 29:10.520
Obviously it tells us a little bit of information, but the Old Testament Jezebel has a lot of

29:10.520 --> 29:12.000
information.

29:12.000 --> 29:16.080
We can see the things that she did and you know obviously, you know when it comes to

29:16.080 --> 29:18.760
Jezebel the Old Testament, this is the king's wife.

29:18.760 --> 29:21.720
That's why we get the Hillary Clinton examples, right?

29:21.720 --> 29:22.400
the President's wife.

29:24.000 --> 29:29.600
But in a local church, how can this spirit of Jezebel manifest?

29:29.600 --> 29:33.400
No, she doesn't have the same power as Hillary Clinton or the Jezebel of the Old Testament,

29:33.400 --> 29:36.760
but inside of a local church, a woman like this can do a lot of damage.

29:36.760 --> 29:42.040
And honestly, in today's world with social media, you can do a lot of damage even outside

29:42.040 --> 29:43.040
your local church.

29:43.040 --> 29:45.480
So you don't have to go from door to door to gossip.

29:45.480 --> 29:49.960
I mean, you can just pull out your phone and gossip to like thousands of people just instantly.

29:50.800 --> 29:54.800
Have you ever seen somebody on Facebook will post like they're having fights or something

29:54.800 --> 30:00.000
with their spouse and then they call out their spouse publicly online and everybody's thinking

30:00.000 --> 30:02.800
dude, just take that down man.

30:02.800 --> 30:05.240
Why are you posting that publicly?

30:05.240 --> 30:07.680
Everybody's going to see it and you can't walk it back at that point.

30:07.680 --> 30:08.680
What are you doing?

30:08.680 --> 30:15.400
But yet in today's world with social media, you can do a lot of great things with it.

30:15.400 --> 30:16.760
go out to a lot of people.

30:17.400 --> 30:21.400
But you can also do a lot of damage in a short amount of time as well.

30:21.400 --> 30:24.400
Here's what it says in 1 Kings 21 verse 25.

30:24.400 --> 30:29.400
But there is none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord,

30:29.400 --> 30:34.400
whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

30:34.400 --> 30:37.400
It's not that Ahab was a good guy.

30:37.400 --> 30:39.400
It's not that he was going to be a good guy.

30:40.200 --> 30:46.680
But look, if you marry somebody really wicked, they're going to cause you to do worse.

30:46.680 --> 30:53.560
And Jezebel was an evil and a wicked woman, and she stirred Ahab up to actually do worse

30:53.560 --> 30:54.560
than he would have done.

30:54.560 --> 30:59.000
Go to your Bible, 1 Peter chapter 3.

30:59.000 --> 30:59.800
Speeder 3.

31:04.100 --> 31:07.100
But you can look at a great character like Solomon.

31:07.100 --> 31:12.100
I mean the Bible says that Solomon, you know, obviously married a lot of wives, which is wrong.

31:12.100 --> 31:19.100
But the Bible makes it clear that the wives turned away his heart because he's marrying ungodly women.

31:19.100 --> 31:25.100
Now the thing is, if you marry somebody godly, they can motivate you to do more for God.

31:25.100 --> 31:27.700
They can motivate you to love God more.

31:28.400 --> 31:30.520
I'm sure this room is filled full of people that say,

31:30.520 --> 31:32.840
hey man, my spouse is such a blessing,

31:32.840 --> 31:34.880
and when I don't feel like going soul winning,

31:34.880 --> 31:36.840
they encourage me to go soul winning.

31:36.840 --> 31:38.400
When I don't feel like reading the Bible,

31:38.400 --> 31:39.800
or when I'm getting a little bit weak,

31:39.800 --> 31:43.880
I'm getting a little bit lazy, they encourage me to do more.

31:43.880 --> 31:47.440
Because let's face it, the Christian life is hard.

31:47.440 --> 31:51.800
It's hard to last year after year after year after year.

31:52.600 --> 31:57.600
And look, you've seen it yourself, if you've been at this church, a lot of great people end up falling by the wayside.

31:57.600 --> 32:02.100
A lot of great church members, a lot of great pastors, they go down the wrong road.

32:02.100 --> 32:04.600
I mean, it's a shame, but the Christian life is hard.

32:04.600 --> 32:12.600
It's hard to last, it's hard to serve God, but how much harder if your spouse is just really wicked and fighting you all the time?

32:12.600 --> 32:18.720
1 Peter 3 verse 5, for after this manner in the old time the holy women also who

32:18.720 --> 32:19.720
trusted in God

32:20.100 --> 32:26.500
adorn themselves being in subjection unto their own husbands even as Sarah obeyed Abraham calling him Lord

32:26.700 --> 32:30.960
Whose daughters he are as long as he do well and are not afraid with any amazement

32:31.500 --> 32:36.980
likewise he husbands dwell with them according to knowledge giving honor under the wife is under the weaker vessel and

32:37.260 --> 32:39.260
Notice this as being heirs

32:39.740 --> 32:41.740
together of the grace of life

32:42.500 --> 32:45.040
Believe that if God has blessed you with a spouse

32:45.620 --> 32:49.540
God intends that you can accomplish more with them than you could without them

32:50.420 --> 32:54.300
Now the thing is that might look a little bit different on the surface

32:54.300 --> 32:59.440
I mean quite honestly I went soul winning more I would say before I was married than I do now I

32:59.740 --> 33:02.660
Have four kids. I mean life is busy and you know

33:03.300 --> 33:09.000
Preaching a lot of sermons and things like that. You know, but I still believe I'm accomplishing more now

33:10.000 --> 33:12.800
than I was before I was married.

33:12.800 --> 33:17.400
And I know that my wife helps me do more for God and motivates me.

33:17.400 --> 33:18.800
And my wife loves soul winning.

33:18.800 --> 33:21.100
And the thing is, with my wife loving soul winning,

33:21.100 --> 33:25.600
on days I don't feel like going, you just go because that's what you do.

33:25.600 --> 33:28.900
See, if you marry someone who loves God, they can motivate you to do more.

33:28.900 --> 33:32.600
And you can be heirs together of the grace of life.

33:32.600 --> 33:37.200
But if your spouse is ungodly and wicked,

33:37.800 --> 33:41.080
It's like you're the husband and you're trying to set lines in your family like,

33:41.080 --> 33:44.080
hey, you know what, I want to start going soul winning midweek.

33:44.080 --> 33:46.160
I want to do an extra time of soul winning.

33:46.160 --> 33:50.040
And then your wife is just fighting you, saying, wow, we need to spend more time with the family.

33:50.040 --> 33:51.880
You shouldn't do this, blah, blah, blah.

33:51.880 --> 33:54.320
It's like that is not going to cause you to do more for God.

33:55.200 --> 33:56.740
You try to set lines in your family,

33:56.740 --> 33:58.760
hey, here's my line of worldliness.

33:58.760 --> 34:00.660
Because obviously, with worldliness,

34:00.660 --> 34:02.140
it's a very gray area.

34:02.140 --> 34:04.000
People draw the lines at different points.

34:04.000 --> 34:05.180
But you're the husband.

34:05.180 --> 34:06.140
You make the decision.

34:06.140 --> 34:08.420
You say, hey, we're not watching this.

34:08.420 --> 34:09.580
We're not doing this.

34:09.580 --> 34:10.860
It's wrong.

34:10.860 --> 34:13.860
And then your wife is always trying to fight against it.

34:13.860 --> 34:16.320
You set guidelines in your families of things you're doing,

34:16.320 --> 34:18.820
and your wife is just intentionally disobeying it.

34:18.820 --> 34:19.000
you

34:19.600 --> 34:24.580
It's pretty hard to do great things for God if your wife is fighting you every single step of the way

34:26.120 --> 34:29.580
Go to your Bible Genesis chapter 2 Genesis 2

34:37.000 --> 34:43.500
And one thing I find amazing about this because the Bible says that women are to have a meek and a quiet spirit.

34:44.500 --> 34:51.000
And you know there's kind of a phrase I thought of because I think of some of the ladies at our church in the Philippines

34:51.500 --> 34:54.500
and other soul winners I know like ladies that love soul winning.

34:55.000 --> 35:01.000
And it's like what you see is women that are meek and quiet but they're soul winning assassins.

35:01.800 --> 35:06.300
And what I mean by that is, they will stop anybody to give the gospel.

35:06.300 --> 35:10.300
Somebody's got a knife and they're just trying to give them an invitation and talk to them.

35:10.300 --> 35:12.300
And it's like they're so filled with boldness.

35:12.300 --> 35:20.300
And it's funny because you might know these ladies and it's like they're very meek and quiet and shy.

35:20.300 --> 35:25.300
And when they get filled with the Spirit, it's like, man, they're a soul winning assassin.

35:25.300 --> 35:28.300
Look, ladies, you have your opportunity to preach.

35:29.600 --> 35:31.600
Go out and preach the gospel.

35:31.600 --> 35:33.600
It's not just for men.

35:33.600 --> 35:37.600
And quite honestly, there's a lot of people ladies can reach that men can't.

35:37.600 --> 35:42.600
I'm amazed how many times I try to talk to someone, they're not interested.

35:42.600 --> 35:46.600
A couple minutes later my wife's giving them the gospel and gets them saved.

35:46.600 --> 35:49.600
And it wasn't, it's not just like that in the Philippines.

35:49.600 --> 35:54.600
Because I'll preach the gospel in Tagalog and they're just shy to talk to an American and they'll talk to my wife.

35:54.600 --> 35:56.100
But even in the US I would see that.

35:56.400 --> 36:00.700
You say why? Because some people might not be comfortable talking to a man.

36:00.700 --> 36:03.700
They might feel more comfortable talking to a lady.

36:03.700 --> 36:07.400
And so look, if we're meant to reach everybody in the world and there's a

36:07.400 --> 36:10.700
certain segment that is only going to listen to a woman, you know what that means?

36:10.700 --> 36:15.300
We need the ladies. We need the Spirit of God upon also the handmaidens to go out

36:15.300 --> 36:16.200
and preach the gospel.

36:16.200 --> 36:19.400
Or like Philip's daughters which were prophesying.

36:19.400 --> 36:21.700
Not prophesying behind the pulpit.

36:22.100 --> 36:25.300
but out there preaching the gospel and getting people saved.

36:25.300 --> 36:28.200
Genesis chapter 2 verse 18,

36:28.200 --> 36:32.960
and the Lord God said it is not good that the man should be alone

36:32.960 --> 36:37.800
I will make in help meet for him. I mean the Bible is just super clear

36:37.800 --> 36:42.160
and it reiterates this in the New Testament that the woman is created for

36:42.160 --> 36:42.800
the man.

36:42.800 --> 36:46.200
She's meant to be the help meet for the man.

36:47.600 --> 36:52.840
That means the guy is the leader and the wife is meant to compliment him be the help meet

36:54.440 --> 37:01.620
But does that mean it automatically happens even with Christians does the wife automatically help the husband

37:02.240 --> 37:06.460
Look obviously we realize that we're all sinners so no matter how godly of a lady you are

37:06.980 --> 37:13.900
You're not always going to be a blessing 24-7. Just like as guys. We're not perfect husbands 24-7

37:14.600 --> 37:17.000
Just like every marriage has fights.

37:18.000 --> 37:19.600
Every marriage has problems.

37:20.200 --> 37:25.000
I remember, you know, when I was, when we went to Verity Baptist, you know, a long time ago before we were in the Philippines,

37:25.400 --> 37:31.000
and, you know, somebody came up to me and they were kind of getting marriage advice and they were talking to me,

37:31.300 --> 37:35.800
and they said, you know, like, I bet you and your wife, you know, never fight.

37:36.800 --> 37:40.600
And they're being honest, you know, and the people I'm thinking of, they're great.

37:40.600 --> 37:45.800
I mean, they actually are some of the people that left Verity, you know, but he sincerely thought that.

37:45.800 --> 37:50.600
And I'm just thinking, no man, I said, my wife and I, we fight like everybody fights.

37:50.600 --> 37:56.000
Because you got two sinners that are around each other 24-7, what do you expect to happen?

37:56.000 --> 37:58.400
Right? I mean, you're going to have times, you got to fight through stuff.

37:58.800 --> 38:03.600
But you are meant to be heirs together of the grace of life, and do more for God together

38:03.600 --> 38:05.440
than you would separately.

38:05.440 --> 38:09.480
But notice the next chapter, Genesis chapter 3, the woman is made to be the help for the

38:09.480 --> 38:14.720
man, but notice Genesis 3 verse 6, and when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,

38:14.720 --> 38:19.420
and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she

38:19.420 --> 38:25.320
took of the fruit thereof and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he

38:25.320 --> 38:25.840
he did eat.

38:26.600 --> 38:28.840
I mean, is she really helping the guy out?

38:28.840 --> 38:31.140
Is she helping the husband out in that situation?

38:31.140 --> 38:34.040
It's like the previous chapter, the woman is to help meet,

38:34.040 --> 38:36.140
and then the next chapter, you know,

38:36.140 --> 38:39.120
she's giving him the apple to send.

38:39.120 --> 38:41.420
I guess the defense for her, at least she was deceived.

38:41.420 --> 38:44.160
He's just like, well, you know, just my wife said it.

38:44.160 --> 38:47.060
This is the first wave of feminism, you know,

38:47.060 --> 38:49.160
this is the good part, right?

38:49.160 --> 38:50.900
So I'll just eat the fruit.

38:52.000 --> 38:57.000
It's like, well, once again, sometimes you've got to tell your spouse no, as the leader.

38:57.000 --> 39:00.000
Now go to your Bible to 1 Kings 18.

39:00.000 --> 39:03.000
1 Kings 18.

39:03.000 --> 39:11.000
Look, I don't think it's a big secret that Tommy McMurtry is filled full of gossip and being a busybody.

39:11.000 --> 39:16.000
And it's like, why don't you just care about your own church and your own ministry?

39:16.000 --> 39:20.000
His ministry is attacking this church.

39:20.800 --> 39:24.240
and attacking new IFB churches. That's what it's all about. I mean that's his ministry.

39:24.240 --> 39:29.000
And you know what? Here's the thing about it. It doesn't matter

39:29.000 --> 39:33.520
what you're doing. You can get vain followers to come after you.

39:33.520 --> 39:37.800
See this church is filled full of people that love soul winning.

39:37.800 --> 39:42.760
You know no matter what you say, you can get vain followers to come after you no matter what you're saying.

39:42.760 --> 39:46.600
It amazes me. It's like some churches in the Philippines...

39:46.700 --> 39:52.000
like some Baptist churches that are false prophets or bad people or whatever

39:52.000 --> 39:56.400
it's like I listen to them preach and they're like the worst preachers ever

39:56.400 --> 39:58.900
and they've got a lot of people to listen to them

39:58.900 --> 40:04.400
and I'm like you know what in the world like why would you follow but it's just like you know no matter what you say

40:04.400 --> 40:06.400
you can get vain followers come after you

40:06.400 --> 40:09.900
so I'm not saying that he doesn't have a problem with gossip

40:09.900 --> 40:13.900
I'm saying being married to Cassandra makes it times ten

40:14.600 --> 40:16.600
makes it a lot worse

40:16.600 --> 40:21.600
she eggs him on as you would say to make it worse and worse and worse

40:21.600 --> 40:23.600
put number one

40:23.600 --> 40:27.600
this Jezebel spirit causing your husband not to serve God

40:27.600 --> 40:29.600
that's one of the things we see from Jezebel in the Old Testament

40:29.600 --> 40:32.600
number two, fighting against God's people

40:32.600 --> 40:36.600
fighting against God's people

40:36.600 --> 40:39.600
1 Kings 18 verse 12

40:42.200 --> 40:48.680
Actually first Kings 18 verse 3 verse 3 and a have called Obadiah which was the governor of his house now

40:48.680 --> 40:53.880
Obadiah feared the Lord greatly for was so when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord

40:53.880 --> 41:00.220
She killed the prophets of the Lord that Obadiah took in hundred prophets and hid them by 50 in a cave and

41:00.600 --> 41:03.000
Fed them with bread and water

41:04.480 --> 41:07.480
Jezebel here is fighting against God's people

41:07.900 --> 41:13.100
She's killing the prophets of God. She's trying to destroy God's people. Go to Nehemiah chapter 6.

41:14.380 --> 41:15.740
Nehemiah chapter 6.

41:20.800 --> 41:23.440
See, it wasn't good enough for Jezebel to just have her own religion.

41:23.440 --> 41:25.600
She's attacking God's people.

41:25.600 --> 41:27.120
She's attacking God's prophets.

41:27.120 --> 41:31.320
Here's what it says in Nehemiah 6 verse 14.

41:31.320 --> 41:33.680
Nehemiah chapter 6 verse 14.

41:33.680 --> 41:38.280
My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sinballat according to these their works,

41:38.280 --> 41:45.960
and on the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear.

41:46.700 --> 41:54.880
Trying to stop the work of God being done this woman Noah, Daya now go in your Bible to Esther chapter 1 Esther 1

42:00.000 --> 42:01.840
Esther chapter 1

42:01.840 --> 42:05.240
And look here's what I want you to understand when you're in when you're married

42:05.240 --> 42:10.680
You're meant to be heirs together of the grace of life and what that means is the husband and the wife have to be on

42:10.680 --> 42:12.680
the same page and

42:13.720 --> 42:15.720
Part of that is the husband being the leader

42:16.760 --> 42:25.280
The other part is the wife submitting to the husband and when people are trying to influence women not to submit to their husbands

42:25.800 --> 42:29.800
You know what you're doing? You're trying to fight against God's people doing something great.

42:32.500 --> 42:38.100
Because regardless of what you think, it's not your marriage.

42:38.100 --> 42:40.500
The husband makes the rules in that home.

42:40.500 --> 42:44.300
So why are you trying to influence the women in other homes,

42:44.300 --> 42:48.300
not even at your church, to rebel against their husbands?

42:48.300 --> 42:51.100
Here's what she said in one of her videos.

42:51.100 --> 42:56.500
The only reason they are so mad is because I have an influence on the women in their church.

42:57.800 --> 43:03.800
Here's my question. Why do you want to have an influence on the women and other people's churches?

43:03.800 --> 43:13.800
It has nothing to do with you. It's not your church. It's not your marriage. You don't make the rules for it.

43:13.800 --> 43:15.800
So why are you trying to influence?

43:16.200 --> 43:18.600
Other women in other churches, and how is she influencing?

43:18.600 --> 43:21.600
Is she influencing to love your husbands no matter what?

43:21.600 --> 43:27.100
No, she's influencing will separate if they're too harsh and too mean.

43:27.100 --> 43:33.900
Look, I would say that if a husband is drunkard and is a derelict and committing adultery,

43:33.900 --> 43:37.400
he's kind of at his most unlovable stage, right?

43:37.400 --> 43:40.700
You know what you should be encouraging wives to do in those situations?

43:40.700 --> 43:42.400
Love your husbands.

43:43.400 --> 43:46.440
I mean, if you want to have a teaching ministry, why wouldn't you?

43:46.440 --> 43:50.760
But no, you say, well, you know, separating those situations because it's dangerous.

43:50.760 --> 43:51.760
It's like, what are you doing?

43:51.760 --> 43:54.320
You're influencing women to rebel against their husbands.

43:56.800 --> 44:00.680
I mean look, forgive me for this example, you know, I grew up in West Virginia, but

44:00.680 --> 44:03.080
I think of the old country song Stand By Your Man.

44:05.700 --> 44:12.500
Look, I'm not saying it's okay for husbands to be losers and be drunkards and do these things.

44:12.500 --> 44:14.100
But it's like, that was the old opinion.

44:14.100 --> 44:19.200
It's like, hey, you stand by your man no matter what, because there is no option of divorce in the Bible.

44:19.200 --> 44:21.300
You stay married.

44:21.300 --> 44:23.000
And you don't open up pit doors box.

44:23.000 --> 44:27.200
Well, in this situation, it's like, no, no, no, I didn't tell them to get divorced.

44:27.200 --> 44:29.100
I was just stating to separate.

44:30.800 --> 44:34.000
Separating is one step to divorce.

44:34.000 --> 44:36.080
Honestly, it's more like five or six,

44:36.080 --> 44:37.540
because honestly, once you separate,

44:37.540 --> 44:38.540
the divorce is common.

44:41.500 --> 44:47.400
So the question is why do you want to influence people in other churches to lead their husbands

44:47.400 --> 44:49.320
and rebel against their husbands?

44:49.320 --> 44:53.700
Esther chapter 1 verse 15, what shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because

44:53.700 --> 44:57.760
she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?

44:57.760 --> 45:01.540
And Mamooka answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong

45:01.540 --> 45:05.520
to the king only, but also to all the princes and all the people that are in all the provinces

45:05.520 --> 45:06.700
of the king Ahasuerus.

45:06.900 --> 45:10.420
For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise

45:10.420 --> 45:14.500
their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, the king of Hazelwares commanded

45:14.500 --> 45:18.460
Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

45:18.460 --> 45:21.940
Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say, This day unto all the king's princes,

45:21.940 --> 45:25.740
which have heard of the deed of the queen, thus shall there arise too much contempt and

45:25.740 --> 45:26.740
wrath."

45:26.740 --> 45:28.220
You know, this is exactly what takes place.

45:28.800 --> 45:35.240
You'll see people where a wife will rebel, a woman will be a loudmouth and rebel, and

45:35.240 --> 45:38.960
all of a sudden it just kind of leads to just a bunch of women doing the same thing.

45:41.600 --> 45:45.140
You know that's what I said you know you see people in these videos, and it's like people

45:45.140 --> 45:47.140
I know it's like I know their husbands, and they're not saying anything

45:47.960 --> 45:52.320
And it's just like you know yes, we can I am woman hear me roar

45:52.320 --> 45:55.440
And then all these women is like man you used to be a soul winner. What happened to you?

45:56.880 --> 46:01.040
Because they're buying into the lie we're being held back by these oppressive men

46:01.840 --> 46:07.940
Look you don't have to get very far into the Bible to see that the wife is the compliment to the husband

46:08.900 --> 46:12.900
I mean the first chapter man is made in the image of God.

46:12.900 --> 46:16.700
In chapter two, the wife is the help meat.

46:16.700 --> 46:18.380
I didn't write the Bible.

46:18.380 --> 46:19.740
I didn't make the rules.

46:19.740 --> 46:22.980
And the shame and the thing that's sad is wives will be

46:22.980 --> 46:27.460
happier when they follow their husbands.

46:27.460 --> 46:29.500
You buy into this lie of feminism.

46:29.500 --> 46:30.060
Well, you know what?

46:30.060 --> 46:31.580
I'm being held back.

46:31.580 --> 46:33.300
I could be a CEO.

46:33.300 --> 46:34.420
I could be a president.

46:34.420 --> 46:35.620
OK, go down that road.

46:35.620 --> 46:36.860
You're going to be miserable.

46:37.800 --> 46:39.800
That's reality.

46:39.800 --> 46:41.800
Go to your Bible to Titus chapter 2.

46:41.800 --> 46:43.800
Titus 2.

46:54.200 --> 47:00.360
I find it sad when I will see ladies that bought into this lie

47:00.360 --> 47:03.160
and they don't audibly say this but you can tell it

47:03.160 --> 47:04.960
and then they reach a certain age

47:04.960 --> 47:06.560
and obviously when it comes to getting married

47:06.560 --> 47:08.560
marriage is a blessing when you meet the right person

47:08.560 --> 47:09.760
and there's no guarantee

47:09.760 --> 47:12.320
there's a lot of great people that are zealous, that love God

47:12.320 --> 47:14.560
and they don't get married, both men and women

47:14.560 --> 47:17.160
we've got a lot of godly ladies that are churched in the Philippines

47:17.160 --> 47:19.160
that haven't met the right person yet

47:19.400 --> 47:25.000
But you'll see people that bought into this lie of feminism and they wanted to work their way up the corporate ladder

47:25.000 --> 47:28.200
to show how strong they are, how smart they are, or whatever.

47:28.200 --> 47:36.900
And then all of a sudden, those women will see families with children and you can just see in their eyes that they're not happy.

47:36.900 --> 47:41.600
They thought they would be, and they're not.

47:41.600 --> 47:45.100
And here's the thing, you know, when it comes to our type of churches,

47:45.100 --> 47:45.200
you

47:45.300 --> 47:50.300
There's a lot of very intelligent and educated people that like this type of preaching.

47:50.300 --> 47:54.340
Honestly, there's a lot of very intelligent and educated women that like this type of

47:54.340 --> 47:55.340
preaching.

47:55.340 --> 47:59.340
Part of you might say, wait a minute, it's like, man, I could have been so successful.

47:59.340 --> 48:02.540
I was in the working world and being so successful.

48:02.540 --> 48:05.500
Then you think back and think, oh, it's going to make you so much happier.

48:05.500 --> 48:10.540
No, you're just buying into the lie of feminism and this spirit of Jezebel that the Bible

48:10.540 --> 48:11.060
is speaking about.

48:12.700 --> 48:17.260
Titus chapter 2, Bible says in verse 1,

48:17.260 --> 48:19.420
But speak thou of the things which become sound doctrine,

48:19.420 --> 48:23.420
that the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith,

48:23.420 --> 48:25.420
in charity, in patience.

48:25.420 --> 48:27.940
The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior,

48:27.940 --> 48:29.300
as become with holiness.

48:29.300 --> 48:42.300
not false accusers, not given much wine, teachers of good things, that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

48:42.300 --> 48:53.300
The Bible says here in Titus 2, the aged women teach the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, basically to be a housewife, to take care of the kids, to love them.

48:53.300 --> 48:56.300
I believe the primary thing the Bible is saying is via your actions.

48:57.100 --> 49:01.500
Because here's the thing about this, if you're trying to convince a woman to be meek and quiet,

49:01.500 --> 49:07.100
and you're doing the opposite by challenging pastors,

49:07.100 --> 49:11.700
it's like, how are you convincing people to be meek and quiet?

49:11.700 --> 49:15.700
I mean, it's not that complicated, folks.

49:15.700 --> 49:22.900
But the thing is, if you're going to teach anything, then you would teach wives to love their husbands.

49:24.000 --> 49:26.000
To love their children.

49:26.000 --> 49:31.000
Not to leave their husbands, but to love them.

49:31.000 --> 49:35.000
And so how can you say, well you know, man I'm really helping ladies love their husbands.

49:35.000 --> 49:37.000
You're telling them to leave.

49:37.000 --> 49:40.000
Like what in the world?

49:40.000 --> 49:45.000
And here's what I'm saying, that if you are going to be successful, I mean if you're married, you know this is true.

49:45.300 --> 49:50.300
When you're married, if you're having problems with your spouse, it is hard to read the Bible.

49:50.300 --> 49:54.300
It is hard to go soul winning. It is hard to serve God zealously.

49:54.300 --> 49:56.300
It's difficult.

49:56.300 --> 50:00.300
But yet when you're on the same page together, I mean, isn't it a beautiful thing?

50:00.300 --> 50:02.300
It's a wonderful thing.

50:02.300 --> 50:04.300
And you're doing great things for God.

50:04.300 --> 50:07.300
When you're not on the same page, it's a disaster.

50:08.200 --> 50:09.200
That's the way that it is.

50:09.200 --> 50:13.160
And so look, if you're trying to get people to go against their husbands, you're causing

50:13.160 --> 50:14.840
a disaster for them.

50:14.840 --> 50:18.400
How are they going to serve God zealously when they're just fighting with their spouse

50:18.400 --> 50:19.400
all the time?

50:19.400 --> 50:23.760
Go to your Bible, 1 Timothy chapter 5.

50:29.100 --> 50:35.340
Look, sometimes people get the wrong idea about pastors because, you know, we get up behind the pulpit and we preach the entire Word of God,

50:35.340 --> 50:45.140
we preach what the Bible says, and we show the Word of God, and people might get this idea that in our personal lives, we go around and tell people what to do.

50:47.140 --> 50:49.460
I don't do that with people at our churches.

50:50.300 --> 50:52.300
I don't tell them what to do in their personal life.

50:52.300 --> 50:55.300
We've got members, people here, they used to be members of our church.

50:55.300 --> 50:58.300
I didn't go around bossing people or telling them what to do.

50:58.300 --> 51:02.300
I mean, look, I will see men at our church make decisions in their home that I don't agree with.

51:02.300 --> 51:04.300
But you know what? I never say anything.

51:04.300 --> 51:07.300
You say, why? It's not my home.

51:07.300 --> 51:13.300
And if he's the leader of that home, even if I am right about something, he makes the rules, I don't make the rules.

51:13.300 --> 51:15.200
That's the way it works.

51:15.900 --> 51:18.500
That's why when people ask, well what do you think about this situation?

51:18.500 --> 51:19.200
What do you think about this?

51:19.200 --> 51:23.300
I'm thinking, I'm not the authority in that home, so what difference does it make?

51:23.300 --> 51:28.100
It's like mind your own business in your own home, rather than worrying about other people.

51:30.400 --> 51:33.800
But I will always side with authority.

51:33.800 --> 51:37.400
Because God gave the authority to husbands.

51:37.400 --> 51:39.400
God gave the authority to fathers.

51:39.400 --> 51:43.200
God gave the authority to mothers over their kids.

51:43.200 --> 51:49.400
I mean, look, when my wife says something to my kids, it's like, you know, I will back up my kids.

51:49.400 --> 51:52.500
I mean, my wife, I should say.

51:52.500 --> 51:53.600
My bad.

51:54.100 --> 51:59.100
This is going to be one of those snippets that gets in the preaching.

52:00.600 --> 52:07.100
What's really bad though is when you preach sermons and you don't notice your gaff.

52:07.100 --> 52:11.100
And then all of a sudden it's like, I've had sermons, I'm preaching against repentance of sins for salvation.

52:11.100 --> 52:14.100
And then I say the opposite for five seconds in the sermon.

52:14.100 --> 52:16.100
And it's like, oh, what did I do?

52:17.100 --> 52:22.260
I preached a sermon last year and I think people either I misspoke or they got confused

52:22.260 --> 52:24.860
and people thought that I used to take anti-depressants.

52:24.860 --> 52:30.740
I was like, I've never been a depressed person.

52:30.740 --> 52:36.100
It's like, no, I've never taken anti-depressants before but I misspoke or people misunderstood.

52:36.400 --> 52:39.000
you know, and it's like sometimes that happens, okay?

52:39.000 --> 52:42.800
But it's like, no, you know, my wife will, you know, spank our kids when they do wrong or whatever,

52:42.800 --> 52:45.400
you know, I support my wife and her decision in doing that.

52:45.400 --> 52:48.600
Because wives do have the authority over their kids.

52:48.600 --> 52:52.600
And you know, sometimes the kids will try to pit the parents against each other.

52:52.600 --> 52:56.600
And you gotta realize, as husband and wife, you gotta be together.

52:59.200 --> 53:02.200
Notice what it says here in 1st Timothy chapter 5.

53:02.200 --> 53:05.540
Actually, you know, here's another quote from Cassandra.

53:05.540 --> 53:09.840
If you are the leader, then you don't have to beat your chest about it.

53:09.840 --> 53:13.640
If you do beat your chest, then you probably aren't the leader.

53:13.640 --> 53:16.160
You know, this is not unique to her because there's a lot of people

53:16.160 --> 53:18.720
that have said something pretty similar.

53:18.720 --> 53:21.160
But the thing is, if you're the leader,

53:21.160 --> 53:21.300
you

53:21.600 --> 53:28.600
Is, are your followers always 100% doing what you want perfectly?

53:29.600 --> 53:33.600
So when they're not doing what's correct, what do you do?

53:34.600 --> 53:37.600
Just ignore it and not say anything?

53:37.600 --> 53:41.600
I mean, that sounds like what Tommy does, because he pretty much gives his wife whatever she wants.

53:41.600 --> 53:43.600
According to her.

53:43.600 --> 53:45.600
He can set the record straight if that's not true.

53:47.300 --> 53:50.500
So what do I do if my kids are not doing what I say?

53:50.500 --> 53:51.400
I punish them.

53:51.400 --> 53:52.200
I rebuke them.

53:52.200 --> 53:54.300
I either spank them or rebuke them, give them a warning

53:54.300 --> 53:54.900
or whatever.

53:54.900 --> 53:56.700
You correct it.

53:56.700 --> 53:58.600
And even if you're doing a good job leading,

53:58.600 --> 54:00.200
you do have to do that sometimes.

54:00.200 --> 54:01.200
You know what I find?

54:01.200 --> 54:03.700
People that say like they never fight with their spouse,

54:03.700 --> 54:07.200
usually what that means is the husband does everything

54:07.200 --> 54:10.800
the wife wants because he doesn't want to fight.

54:10.800 --> 54:11.700
He's not willing to fight.

54:11.700 --> 54:14.600
And he's thinking if I just give her what she wants,

54:14.600 --> 54:14.800
Thanks for watching!

54:14.900 --> 54:18.740
I don't really want this, but you know, it will get rid of this problem.

54:18.740 --> 54:19.500
And you know what happens?

54:19.500 --> 54:25.060
It just gets worse and worse and worse and worse.

54:25.060 --> 54:27.400
First Timothy chapter 5 verse 13.

54:28.240 --> 54:31.360
And with all they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house,

54:31.360 --> 54:33.780
and not only idle, but tattlers also in busy bodies,

54:34.300 --> 54:35.740
speaking things which they ought not.

54:36.300 --> 54:43.160
Will therefore the younger women marry bare children guide the house give none occasion the adversary to speak reproachfully

54:43.600 --> 54:46.040
For some are already turned aside after Satan

54:46.040 --> 54:48.080
I mean folks the Bible is not confusing here

54:48.080 --> 54:54.140
It says the roles of men and women men are the leaders men are the providers and then the women

54:54.600 --> 54:58.880
Are to guide the house Mary bare children guide the house

54:59.800 --> 55:03.600
And what I just said is like the most sexist thing you're ever gonna hear in 2026

55:04.400 --> 55:06.960
The role of women is to have kids?

55:06.960 --> 55:13.400
Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't just basic biology kind of show you that the women are made to have kids?

55:13.400 --> 55:15.400
Not the men?

55:15.400 --> 55:19.400
Go to your Bible to 1 Kings 19.

55:19.400 --> 55:21.400
1 Kings 19.

55:26.300 --> 55:31.300
And look, in the context where she's advising women to separate in situations,

55:31.300 --> 55:33.300
here's what Cassandra says,

55:33.300 --> 55:38.300
I'm all for reconciliation, but there has to be repentance.

55:38.300 --> 55:41.300
See what she's saying?

55:41.300 --> 55:44.300
Let's, I mean, look, this is already a long sermon.

55:44.300 --> 55:46.300
Forgive me, I do back-to-back sermons in the Philippines.

55:46.300 --> 55:50.300
I got to squeeze them in so the sermon's a little bit shorter.

55:50.300 --> 55:53.300
It's going to be a Pastor Shelley-linked sermon here today, alright?

55:55.200 --> 55:59.320
But I mean, but think of Judges 19, right?

55:59.320 --> 56:01.840
Where she leaves the husband and it's just like,

56:01.840 --> 56:05.000
well, he should have just come back on his knees begging,

56:05.000 --> 56:08.720
forgive me for everything I did wrong.

56:08.720 --> 56:12.600
I mean, is that the way you interpret Judges 19?

56:12.600 --> 56:14.640
Because that's pretty much what she's saying.

56:14.640 --> 56:17.360
She's saying husbands and wives get in a fight

56:17.360 --> 56:18.280
and the wife leaves.

56:18.280 --> 56:19.560
It's like, hey, you know what?

56:19.560 --> 56:21.280
I want them to reconcile if.

56:21.800 --> 56:26.800
There's repentance. If he says, I'm sorry honey, I'll do whatever you want.

56:28.800 --> 56:32.800
Now she'd say I'm railing, but that is exactly what she's saying.

56:32.800 --> 56:39.800
That it's always the husband's fault. Husbands and wives get in a fight, they go separate ways, it's always the husband's fault.

56:40.800 --> 56:41.800
And then the husband...

56:42.500 --> 56:47.060
Has to have repentance and say I messed up. I'm sorry. Forgive me look

56:47.460 --> 56:52.420
I'm not advocating husbands being losers and derelicts. We preach hard against sin

56:52.820 --> 56:56.660
Let me tell you something. There is no valid separation in the bible

56:57.220 --> 56:59.220
And that is just a step to getting divorced

57:00.260 --> 57:02.260
So why would you advise that?

57:02.820 --> 57:04.900
And see you can walk it back and say well, wait a minute

57:05.860 --> 57:07.860
I never told anybody to get divorced

57:08.800 --> 57:16.640
I said I'm against divorce yet when you led them down the road by getting them to separate that is exactly what you did

57:17.760 --> 57:19.040
look

57:19.040 --> 57:25.040
When you're in moments of things being difficult in marriage. You know what you need you need to stick strong together and

57:25.720 --> 57:27.200
work through it

57:28.500 --> 57:33.100
Look, marriage is a beautiful and a wonderful thing, and I am much happier being married,

57:33.100 --> 57:37.980
and God has blessed me with our family and my wife, but that does not mean that our marriage

57:37.980 --> 57:40.580
is always perfect.

57:40.580 --> 57:44.020
And I don't want to mislead people that are single in this room that you get married and

57:44.020 --> 57:48.340
all your problems, because people think, I get married, I will always be happy and never

57:48.340 --> 57:49.340
have any problems.

57:49.340 --> 57:54.700
Well, I mean, if that's what you think, I mean, it's like, good luck when you actually

57:54.700 --> 57:55.600
get married.

57:55.800 --> 57:58.160
You need to go into it with the right mindset and realize,

57:58.160 --> 57:59.160
hey, you know what?

57:59.160 --> 58:00.200
It's a beautiful thing.

58:00.200 --> 58:01.080
It's a wonderful thing.

58:01.080 --> 58:03.080
But you've got to work at it.

58:03.080 --> 58:04.520
And it will get better over time.

58:04.520 --> 58:08.000
But you will have difficult times.

58:08.000 --> 58:11.560
And in those difficult times, you don't separate.

58:11.560 --> 58:15.480
Look, there are people that come up to me from church.

58:15.480 --> 58:16.840
And they're having problems.

58:16.840 --> 58:18.160
They're going through a tough time.

58:18.600 --> 58:20.400
And they're just wondering, you know, maybe, you know,

58:20.400 --> 58:22.700
for a couple months I need to focus on work.

58:22.700 --> 58:25.800
You know, she can live with her parents for a few months.

58:25.800 --> 58:27.940
And it's just like, and it's in the context of they're going

58:27.940 --> 58:28.980
through problems and I'm just like,

58:28.980 --> 58:30.680
I don't think that's a good idea.

58:30.680 --> 58:32.240
It's like you can do whatever you want,

58:32.240 --> 58:36.640
but I don't think that's a good idea because, you know,

58:36.640 --> 58:39.740
it's not going to remove the problem.

58:39.740 --> 58:42.240
You know, it's going to be there when you get back.

58:42.240 --> 58:43.900
It's like I think you got to work through it.

58:45.000 --> 58:47.080
And I'm never going to advise people to separate.

58:47.080 --> 58:51.200
Now here's the thing, I mean, I can't force people to make their decisions, they do what they want.

58:51.200 --> 58:54.520
But I will not advise people to separate from their spouse.

58:54.520 --> 58:58.440
It's one step leading to divorce.

58:58.440 --> 59:02.360
I'm all for reconciliation, but there has to be repentance.

59:02.360 --> 59:05.480
I'm all for reconciliation.

59:05.480 --> 59:09.680
Husbands and wives are having problems, I'm all for them getting back together.

59:10.500 --> 59:12.180
I'm all for reconciliation.

59:12.180 --> 59:15.180
But according to her and other husbands, God asked for forgiveness.

59:15.180 --> 59:16.620
And say, I'm sorry.

59:16.620 --> 59:18.020
In the fight.

59:18.020 --> 59:22.580
But number one, the Jezebel from the Old Testament, she caused her husband not to serve God.

59:22.580 --> 59:23.900
She caused him to sin.

59:23.900 --> 59:27.660
Number two, she fights against God's people.

59:27.660 --> 59:31.180
Number three, she fights against spiritual leadership.

59:31.180 --> 59:33.180
1 Kings 19, verse 1.

59:33.700 --> 59:38.820
Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and with all how he had slain all the prophets with the sword

59:39.180 --> 59:45.140
Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah saying so let the gods do to me and more also if I make not thy life is

59:45.140 --> 59:47.140
The life of one of them by tomorrow about this time

59:47.380 --> 59:52.220
when he saw that he arose and went for his life and came to be or sheba which belongeth to Judah and

59:52.540 --> 59:54.540
Left his servant there. So, you know Elijah

59:55.220 --> 59:56.940
great man of God

59:56.940 --> 59:59.820
First Kings 18 one of the best chapters in the Bible

01:00:00.500 --> 01:00:04.500
and he looks like nothing's gonna get him down, but he's human.

01:00:04.500 --> 01:00:14.500
He gets afraid, Jezebel threatens his life, and he kinda just, you know, backslides a little bit, kinda runs for his life, and out of it, and he wishes for himself, you know, to die, the Bible says.

01:00:14.500 --> 01:00:16.500
Go to your Bible and the number's 12.

01:00:27.600 --> 01:00:31.600
Because once again, Jezebel was a religious woman.

01:00:31.600 --> 01:00:33.920
She loved the false prophets.

01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:35.760
They ate at her table.

01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:37.120
She was close to them.

01:00:37.120 --> 01:00:41.440
She's very angry at the end of 1 Kings 18 when they lose and they're killed.

01:00:41.440 --> 01:00:42.200
She's mad about it.

01:00:43.400 --> 01:00:50.600
But I want you to realize this doesn't just only exist with ungodly people like the Jezebel, the Old Testament.

01:00:50.600 --> 01:00:53.100
Even saved Christian women can be like this.

01:00:53.100 --> 01:00:55.300
Because notice what it says in Numbers 12 where we have Miriam.

01:00:55.300 --> 01:00:58.400
Now I would say that Miriam in the Bible is an awesome character.

01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:00.800
She's a great woman, a great character.

01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:02.900
But notice what it says here in Numbers 12 verse 1.

01:01:02.900 --> 01:01:08.300
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because the Ethiopian woman whom he had married,

01:01:08.300 --> 01:01:11.100
for he had married an Ethiopian woman, and they said...

01:01:11.700 --> 01:01:13.700
Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses?

01:01:14.100 --> 01:01:20.060
Hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it. Now the man Moses was very meek above all the men which are

01:01:20.060 --> 01:01:24.780
Upon the face of the earth. Look, you know when you go forward in the story God completely supports Moses

01:01:25.300 --> 01:01:26.820
Moses is meek

01:01:26.820 --> 01:01:28.060
He's a humble guy

01:01:28.060 --> 01:01:33.980
He doesn't want to get into fight with them and he lets God fight his battles and then God comes through for him

01:01:34.420 --> 01:01:39.220
Right, but in the story Miriam is like well didn't God also speak by us?

01:01:39.900 --> 01:01:41.900
The Bible says Miriam is a prophetess.

01:01:41.900 --> 01:01:45.900
Well, I believe that she preached the gospel, told people how to get to heaven.

01:01:45.900 --> 01:01:48.900
But does that mean she should be getting up and preaching sermons though?

01:01:48.900 --> 01:01:50.900
It's like, didn't God speak by me? It's like, no.

01:01:50.900 --> 01:01:55.900
In fact, it's kind of interesting with Aaron, because like Aaron, you had your chance.

01:01:55.900 --> 01:02:01.900
You had your chance to be the leader. You failed. You messed up.

01:02:01.900 --> 01:02:04.900
It's like, you know, there you are, and then it's like there's a golden calf.

01:02:04.900 --> 01:02:06.900
It's like, you did not deal with the problem.

01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:13.360
Here's the thing about this. I mean if Aaron had beat his chest and dealt with it and destroyed the calf said no

01:02:14.200 --> 01:02:16.200
Well, there you go. That's being a good leader

01:02:17.200 --> 01:02:20.520
Even though the earlier quotes said if you got to beat your chest you're being a bad leader

01:02:20.520 --> 01:02:27.140
Why I think in Exodus 32 would have made sense for Aaron to just give his authority and say no

01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:35.740
But here you have Miriam who is a godly person and yet this spirit of Jezebel passes upon her

01:02:36.400 --> 01:02:39.820
I'm not saying these people are getting possessed with an evil spirit, but I'm just saying in

01:02:39.820 --> 01:02:44.780
a symbolic sense, it's like, I'm also someone that God can speak through.

01:02:44.780 --> 01:02:48.980
I've also done great things and she wants to have her voice too.

01:02:48.980 --> 01:02:53.840
Well, I'm sorry, but God did not give that authority to women.

01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:57.060
God chose Moses and look, the Bible says, it's not just with preaching sermons, the

01:02:57.060 --> 01:03:00.020
Bible says it is a curse when women rule over you.

01:03:00.020 --> 01:03:02.420
It is a curse.

01:03:02.800 --> 01:03:06.200
when women are the leaders of the country and running for president.

01:03:06.200 --> 01:03:12.520
Look, I don't know who told you that the Philippines is an ultra conservative

01:03:12.520 --> 01:03:15.360
old-fashioned country. We've had multiple female presidents.

01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:20.040
The current vice president is a woman. It's like that's not really

01:03:20.040 --> 01:03:23.840
the Philippines. It's like no there's a real problem with feminism in the

01:03:23.840 --> 01:03:24.840
Philippines too.

01:03:25.500 --> 01:03:30.440
In fact, I think a lot of people would say that in most homes in the Philippines. It's the wife that's wearing the pants

01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:32.440
It's not the husband

01:03:32.640 --> 01:03:40.220
Now the thing is we expect this from the world, but you know what happens in Baptist churches every Baptist Church will say

01:03:41.000 --> 01:03:43.160
We believe husbands are the head of the home

01:03:43.840 --> 01:03:45.840
Because the Bible is really clear on it

01:03:46.080 --> 01:03:48.080
It's kind of like a running joke though

01:03:48.880 --> 01:03:50.700
Because it's not really true

01:03:51.800 --> 01:03:55.800
It's like they say that, but then it's not really true in practice.

01:03:55.800 --> 01:04:02.800
It's like, well then how are you saying that husbands are the leader when you're not actually practicing what you're claiming.

01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:07.800
Right? Go in your Bible to 1 Kings 21.

01:04:13.100 --> 01:04:19.500
Look, it's bad enough to try to get in marriages and get women to separate from their husbands.

01:04:20.700 --> 01:04:27.100
But when you're trying to call out pastors of churches that are doing great works for God,

01:04:28.100 --> 01:04:30.100
it's like, why don't you just keep your mouth shut?

01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:38.920
It's just like don't you have enough enemies? It's just like you know I'm not exactly the most confrontational person although

01:04:38.920 --> 01:04:40.920
I guess I'm kind of heading that direction

01:04:42.460 --> 01:04:46.560
But it's just like why are you calling out like pastors?

01:04:46.560 --> 01:04:50.720
You know I thought that being a pastor is for men could we all agree on that?

01:04:52.040 --> 01:04:58.240
Well, I'm sorry, but if you're not a man you don't get to have an opinion. I mean isn't that her logic?

01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.400
It's like men can't have an opinion on women's issues.

01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:07.400
Well, why do you have an opinion on what it means to be a pastor?

01:05:07.400 --> 01:05:09.100
Because you're not a man.

01:05:09.100 --> 01:05:12.500
You don't know what it's like to be a pastor.

01:05:12.500 --> 01:05:14.800
Now, I can't say she doesn't know what it's like to be a leader

01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:18.500
because she's leading her home.

01:05:18.500 --> 01:05:19.700
What can I say?

01:05:22.600 --> 01:05:25.560
But why are you calling out other pastors?

01:05:25.560 --> 01:05:27.760
Like, why don't you worry about your own life?

01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:29.160
It's like you're going outside the realm

01:05:29.160 --> 01:05:30.240
of just trying to teach women.

01:05:30.240 --> 01:05:33.000
Now you're trying to just rebuke pastors, right?

01:05:34.640 --> 01:05:37.360
First Kings 21, number one, the Jesuit of the Old Testament,

01:05:37.360 --> 01:05:39.200
she causes her husband not to serve God.

01:05:39.200 --> 01:05:40.720
She caused her husband to sin.

01:05:40.720 --> 01:05:43.040
Number two, she fights against God's people.

01:05:43.040 --> 01:05:45.100
Number three, she fights against spiritual leadership.

01:05:45.500 --> 01:05:48.180
Number four, she promotes sin.

01:05:48.180 --> 01:05:49.180
She promotes sin.

01:05:49.180 --> 01:05:53.700
Now notice what it says here in 1 Kings 21 verse 4, and Ahab came into his house heavy

01:05:53.700 --> 01:05:58.460
and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him.

01:05:58.460 --> 01:06:02.300
He had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers, and he laid him down upon his

01:06:02.300 --> 01:06:04.500
bed and turned away his face and would eat no bread.

01:06:04.900 --> 01:06:07.000
But Jezebel's wife came to him and said unto him,

01:06:07.000 --> 01:06:10.100
Why is thy spirit so sad that thou eatest no bread?

01:06:10.100 --> 01:06:11.860
He said unto her, because I spake on a nape

01:06:11.860 --> 01:06:13.660
out of the Jezreelite, and said unto him,

01:06:13.660 --> 01:06:16.660
Give me thy vineyard for money, or else if it please thee,

01:06:16.660 --> 01:06:18.200
I will give thee another vineyard for it.

01:06:18.200 --> 01:06:20.740
And he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

01:06:20.740 --> 01:06:24.220
Now, doesn't this just sound like a little kid that just

01:06:24.220 --> 01:06:26.820
didn't get the toy he wanted?

01:06:26.820 --> 01:06:29.300
It's like I wanted the green toy, not the blue toy.

01:06:30.100 --> 01:06:33.300
I mean this is what happens when you have everything that you want in life.

01:06:33.300 --> 01:06:36.300
It's always given to you. He's complaining, I didn't get this vineyard.

01:06:36.300 --> 01:06:38.700
And Jezebel's wife said unto him,

01:06:38.700 --> 01:06:41.400
"'Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel?'

01:06:41.400 --> 01:06:46.100
It's like, well not really. I mean you kind of do, honey, right?

01:06:46.100 --> 01:06:50.800
"'Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise and eat bread and let thine heart be merry.

01:06:50.800 --> 01:06:53.800
I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezebelite.'"

01:06:53.800 --> 01:06:56.500
Now look, she doesn't say what she's going to do.

01:06:56.700 --> 01:07:00.700
but obviously Ahab realizes, okay, something wicked is going to be done.

01:07:00.700 --> 01:07:04.700
He's aware of that. Verse 10.

01:07:05.200 --> 01:07:08.760
Set two men sons of Belial which is a term for children of the devil

01:07:09.100 --> 01:07:16.500
Reprobates before him to bear witness against him saying thou did his blaspheme God and the king and then carry him out and stone him

01:07:16.500 --> 01:07:21.800
That he may die and the men of his city even the elders and the nobles who are the inhabitants in his city did as Jezebel

01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:25.920
Had sent on to them and as it was written in the letters which she had sent on to them

01:07:26.040 --> 01:07:31.340
They proclaimed a fast and set Naboth on high among the people and there came in two men children of Belial and

01:07:31.560 --> 01:07:33.200
sat before him in the men of Belial

01:07:33.200 --> 01:07:37.000
witnessed against him even against Naboth in the presence of the people saying Naboth

01:07:37.000 --> 01:07:40.920
did blaspheme God and the king then they carried him forth out of the city and stoned him with

01:07:40.920 --> 01:07:42.640
stones that he died.

01:07:42.640 --> 01:07:49.000
Now look, the average person is not going to give a false witness to get somebody put

01:07:49.000 --> 01:07:51.160
to death when it's not true.

01:07:51.160 --> 01:07:55.040
It'd be a pretty extreme thing for an average person to do but of course if you're a child

01:07:55.040 --> 01:07:57.520
of the devil you don't have a conscience.

01:07:57.520 --> 01:07:58.680
You don't feel bad about it.

01:07:59.100 --> 01:08:02.600
And so she gets two reprobates to do this.

01:08:02.600 --> 01:08:05.600
And so it's not just her that's responsible.

01:08:05.600 --> 01:08:07.480
He's responsible because he knew something

01:08:07.480 --> 01:08:09.100
wicked was going to happen.

01:08:09.100 --> 01:08:11.180
What you're seeing is this woman Jezebel, what is she doing?

01:08:11.180 --> 01:08:12.220
She's promoting sin.

01:08:12.220 --> 01:08:13.740
She's doing wicked things herself.

01:08:13.740 --> 01:08:16.220
She's not even just causing her husband to do wrong.

01:08:16.220 --> 01:08:17.860
She's doing wrong.

01:08:17.860 --> 01:08:19.340
She's doing wicked.

01:08:19.340 --> 01:08:21.340
OK, now go on your Bible to 1 Corinthians 7.

01:08:21.340 --> 01:08:22.340
1 Corinthians 7.

01:08:26.500 --> 01:08:30.000
Now in the context of her talking about separating from your husband,

01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:37.700
how can we call this godly advice when you're making videos talking on and on about separating from your husband?

01:08:37.700 --> 01:08:39.800
Here's what she says,

01:08:39.800 --> 01:08:42.900
there is no shame in seeking help,

01:08:42.900 --> 01:08:49.100
Mary and Joseph and other examples, because you think your life is in danger.

01:08:49.100 --> 01:08:51.340
I mean, just think of the stories that they're giving.

01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:57.000
Actual examples where people are being killed versus you're married, you get in a fight,

01:08:57.000 --> 01:08:59.700
and it's like, well, you're afraid for your life to just leave.

01:08:59.700 --> 01:09:02.800
There's no shame in that. It's not wrong. Don't feel bad about it.

01:09:02.800 --> 01:09:07.200
Forget about the preaching. Forget about what it says in the Bible about staying married.

01:09:07.200 --> 01:09:11.400
Just, you know, don't feel bad. Your life's threatened. Just leave.

01:09:11.400 --> 01:09:16.200
I mean, is this not the same feminist garbage you hear from any ungodly and wicked person?

01:09:16.200 --> 01:09:18.400
Just justifying leaving your spouse?

01:09:19.900 --> 01:09:24.900
She says, no shame in getting help from cops.

01:09:24.900 --> 01:09:27.900
The Bible talks about protecting yourself.

01:09:27.900 --> 01:09:31.900
Well, certainly not wise getting help from cops.

01:09:31.900 --> 01:09:36.900
Pretty stupid, but it's like, no, why are you bringing them into that situation?

01:09:36.900 --> 01:09:38.900
It's like you work it out yourself.

01:09:42.100 --> 01:09:48.560
She says, it's so hard for women in abusive relationships to see there is a way out.

01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:50.600
And, you know, there's kind of statements in between.

01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:52.600
She says, you can find a good pastor.

01:09:52.600 --> 01:09:55.740
Maybe the man wants to stop, but that is the pattern that he has grown up seeing.

01:09:55.740 --> 01:09:57.340
You know what she's trying to do with that statement?

01:09:57.340 --> 01:09:58.260
You can tell in context.

01:09:58.260 --> 01:10:02.500
She's subtly trying to get people leave new IFB churches.

01:10:02.500 --> 01:10:04.000
That's what she's saying.

01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:04.100
you

01:10:04.300 --> 01:10:08.940
She's saying just leave churches like Faithful Word, leave churches where they're too over

01:10:08.940 --> 01:10:15.940
the top with men being in the authority, just leave those places.

01:10:15.940 --> 01:10:23.020
And then in the context here it says, another quote, you should obey the law of the land

01:10:23.020 --> 01:10:25.940
because the land determines it to be rape.

01:10:25.940 --> 01:10:27.740
This is in the context of talk about marital rape.

01:10:28.500 --> 01:10:33.180
And look, you know, she's condemning husbands and wives being physically together,

01:10:33.180 --> 01:10:34.380
which goes back to the original thing.

01:10:34.380 --> 01:10:38.540
But I want you to just think about this logically for a second, because the Bible is very clear.

01:10:38.540 --> 01:10:41.540
Notice what it says, 1 Corinthians 7 verse 3,

01:10:41.540 --> 01:10:46.940
Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence, and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

01:10:46.940 --> 01:10:49.100
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband,

01:10:49.100 --> 01:10:52.180
and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

01:10:52.400 --> 01:10:57.840
Defraud you not one the other except that we with consent for a time that you may give yourselves a fasting and prayer and come together

01:10:57.840 --> 01:11:00.280
Again that Satan tempts you not for your incontinency

01:11:00.280 --> 01:11:06.560
So what the Bible's saying here in context is that husbands and wives should have a normal relationship and that does include the physical part of

01:11:07.080 --> 01:11:08.120
marriage

01:11:08.120 --> 01:11:11.400
So the Catholic Church says well, you know Mary was perpetually a virgin

01:11:12.120 --> 01:11:15.360
Man talk about a miserable marriage that Joseph married into

01:11:16.700 --> 01:11:18.820
I literally heard this in the Philippines.

01:11:18.820 --> 01:11:20.740
It's like, you know, because they're more serious

01:11:20.740 --> 01:11:22.660
about their idolatry over there.

01:11:23.000 --> 01:11:25.420
And, you know, it's like if you're having problems

01:11:25.420 --> 01:11:28.200
with intimacy in your marriage, then you should pray

01:11:28.200 --> 01:11:31.380
to the Saint Joseph because he knows what you're going through.

01:11:37.500 --> 01:11:41.100
And it's like bizarre. I mean the Bible is super clear.

01:11:41.100 --> 01:11:44.700
Obviously they had a normal relationship. Okay.

01:11:44.700 --> 01:11:47.800
But here's the thing about this. The Bible says men and women should render

01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:48.600
due benevolence.

01:11:48.600 --> 01:11:52.200
Look I actually know of situations where it's actually the opposite where the men

01:11:52.200 --> 01:11:53.000
refuse

01:11:53.000 --> 01:11:55.900
and the wife wants to have a normal relationship. She loves God, wants to have a normal

01:11:55.900 --> 01:11:56.800
relationship

01:11:56.800 --> 01:12:01.400
and then the husband is the one that's refusing. That's wicked. It's wrong.

01:12:01.400 --> 01:12:04.800
And it's wicked the other way as well. If the wife is refusing.

01:12:05.800 --> 01:12:09.400
Now look, obviously there's a little bit of common sense here.

01:12:09.400 --> 01:12:16.200
Obviously if one of the spouses is really sick and really feeling bad, it's like obviously

01:12:16.200 --> 01:12:20.200
you're going to comfort them and try to take care of them.

01:12:20.200 --> 01:12:26.280
But when a wife is just refusing week after week after week after week, who is the person

01:12:26.280 --> 01:12:27.880
the Bible is saying is in sin?

01:12:29.500 --> 01:12:34.500
who's clearly, directly, not gray area in sin.

01:12:34.500 --> 01:12:36.500
That would be the wife.

01:12:36.500 --> 01:12:40.500
Because the Bible says she is to render due benevolence.

01:12:40.500 --> 01:12:44.500
And yet in that video, she gives a passing comment,

01:12:44.500 --> 01:12:46.500
Yeah, you know, I think

01:12:47.400 --> 01:12:54.400
I think she said like six months or something like that, I could be wrong, but she just kind of says it in passing if the wife is just refusing for a long time.

01:12:54.400 --> 01:12:56.400
Yeah, I don't think that's right, I don't think she should do that.

01:12:56.400 --> 01:13:00.400
But it's just like you spent like a long time condemning like marital rape.

01:13:00.400 --> 01:13:07.400
Well, here's the thing about this. Would a guy do that if the wife is just giving a normal relationship?

01:13:07.400 --> 01:13:10.400
I mean, just think about this logically.

01:13:10.400 --> 01:13:14.300
The wife sins by refusing the relationship with her husband.

01:13:15.300 --> 01:13:17.940
She's the one at fault.

01:13:17.940 --> 01:13:20.300
If she gave him a normal relationship,

01:13:20.300 --> 01:13:23.140
then there wouldn't be an issue at all.

01:13:23.140 --> 01:13:25.540
But you know, it is an issue because in marriages,

01:13:25.540 --> 01:13:27.940
people try to weaponize the physical relationship

01:13:27.940 --> 01:13:29.440
against their spouse.

01:13:29.440 --> 01:13:32.740
And so look, when you're siding with the side that

01:13:32.740 --> 01:13:35.640
is sinful and wrong on many things.

01:13:36.400 --> 01:13:43.400
On separation, on women refusing to be intimate with their husband, it's just like you are promoting sin.

01:13:45.600 --> 01:13:48.800
You are promoting sin and you're justifying wicked people.

01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:53.500
You're justifying wicked people that are in rebellion and sin and fornication right now.

01:13:53.500 --> 01:14:00.100
Yes, you are promoting sin and accepting people committing sin outside of marriage

01:14:00.100 --> 01:14:05.700
and giving a pass on that and saying nothing negative and being friends with all of them online.

01:14:05.700 --> 01:14:10.200
And yet you're condemning people that are just in a normal relationship.

01:14:10.200 --> 01:14:11.900
That's exactly what you're doing.

01:14:12.300 --> 01:14:17.300
Now turn your Bible to 2 Kings 9.

01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:24.000
And here's the problem with this.

01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:26.700
When people just blow off their mouth all the time,

01:14:26.700 --> 01:14:28.200
you know what happens?

01:14:28.200 --> 01:14:33.940
Even if you're against it, it can still affect you.

01:14:33.940 --> 01:14:36.580
Think about someone who's in a bad church hearing a false

01:14:36.580 --> 01:14:37.860
gospel over and over again.

01:14:37.860 --> 01:14:40.500
It can start to affect them.

01:14:40.500 --> 01:14:42.900
They can start making some weird statements.

01:14:42.900 --> 01:14:45.100
Now, there's obviously a line where you're not going to

01:14:45.100 --> 01:14:47.660
cross there, but I'm just saying they're going to start

01:14:47.660 --> 01:14:48.900
to get confused on stuff.

01:14:49.400 --> 01:14:52.400
You can't just allow it. Well, it's like eat the meat and spit out the bones.

01:14:52.400 --> 01:14:57.700
Yeah, well that's that's good advice if like 99% of the meat is meat and not bones.

01:14:59.400 --> 01:15:03.400
I hate eating meat where it's like it takes 30 minutes because it's filled full of bones.

01:15:04.400 --> 01:15:08.400
It doesn't matter how good it is. It's like I'm too lazy to just spend all that time, right?

01:15:09.100 --> 01:15:10.460
And it's like, yeah, you know what?

01:15:10.460 --> 01:15:12.700
With preaching, it's like you search the scriptures

01:15:12.700 --> 01:15:14.040
to see whether those things are so.

01:15:14.040 --> 01:15:15.620
Because no matter who it is preaching,

01:15:15.620 --> 01:15:16.940
we're going to make mistakes.

01:15:16.940 --> 01:15:18.500
You figure it out for yourself.

01:15:18.500 --> 01:15:19.660
You read the Bible.

01:15:19.660 --> 01:15:23.860
But it's just like most of it is actually good information.

01:15:23.860 --> 01:15:26.100
You listen to this garbage over and over again,

01:15:26.100 --> 01:15:29.300
it will start to affect you.

01:15:29.300 --> 01:15:32.180
It becomes so common that it will

01:15:32.180 --> 01:15:35.140
start to feel normal, the process of normalization.

01:15:35.140 --> 01:15:35.400
you

01:15:35.700 --> 01:15:38.880
It's kind of like in India, people bow down to a cow.

01:15:38.880 --> 01:15:39.960
Is that normal?

01:15:39.960 --> 01:15:41.480
No, it's not.

01:15:41.480 --> 01:15:44.320
But it will start to feel normal.

01:15:44.320 --> 01:15:46.960
I mean, when I first moved to the Philippines, I mean,

01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:49.720
idolatry is pretty crazy to me.

01:15:49.720 --> 01:15:53.120
Now, I'm just kind of used to it.

01:15:53.120 --> 01:15:55.440
Sad to say, in the Philippines, when I first moved there, I

01:15:55.440 --> 01:15:57.640
mean, seeing a man wearing a dress, I mean, I'm just like,

01:15:57.640 --> 01:15:58.680
what in the world?

01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:00.640
But you see it everywhere.

01:16:00.640 --> 01:16:02.500
There's a lot of cross-dressers in the Philippines.

01:16:03.100 --> 01:16:06.220
It's very high up in the LGBT culture.

01:16:06.220 --> 01:16:09.200
And you see it all the time, you kind of just get used to it.

01:16:11.400 --> 01:16:16.200
And the thing is, when you hear somebody saying so many stupid things and all this feminist garbage,

01:16:16.200 --> 01:16:20.200
you know what takes place? Eventually, it slowly starts to affect women.

01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:26.800
It's crazy, you know, I don't really follow, honestly, you know, issues in America as much with politics and stuff.

01:16:26.800 --> 01:16:29.800
You know, I talk to my mom several times a week, so she'll fill me in.

01:16:29.800 --> 01:16:34.400
And it's just like this Lindsay Clancy case. It's like, you know, what in the world

01:16:34.400 --> 01:16:37.200
when people are defending a woman who murdered her children?

01:16:38.200 --> 01:16:39.760
Say, well, Pastor, how should they deal with it?

01:16:39.760 --> 01:16:41.160
She should already be dead.

01:16:41.160 --> 01:16:43.000
The death penalty.

01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:44.520
End of story.

01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:46.880
As far as I know, she didn't deny doing it.

01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:50.480
So why are we even having a debate about it?

01:16:50.480 --> 01:16:55.440
And yet, there's all these women just trying to defend her.

01:16:55.440 --> 01:16:58.320
And look, when this garbage comes into a local church,

01:16:58.320 --> 01:16:59.520
you know what takes place?

01:16:59.520 --> 01:17:01.520
It will start to affect the people at church.

01:17:02.400 --> 01:17:07.240
I'll be honest with you, I'm a little bit late to the party when it comes to preaching against feminism,

01:17:07.240 --> 01:17:11.840
because honestly, a year and a half ago I was like, you know, why is there so much preaching on feminism?

01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:13.160
Is it really that big of an issue?

01:17:13.160 --> 01:17:16.640
Maybe it wasn't as big in the Philippines, but now I'm like, okay, my eyes are awake.

01:17:16.640 --> 01:17:18.640
Okay, I was wrong.

01:17:18.640 --> 01:17:20.440
I get it.

01:17:20.440 --> 01:17:25.400
And here's the thing, when you're a pastor, one of your jobs is to really just be, I mean, you're vigilant.

01:17:25.400 --> 01:17:26.760
You're ready for anything.

01:17:27.400 --> 01:17:35.400
It's kind of like this, I remember just going back over a decade ago, a lot of my family thought I was really extreme against the LGBT.

01:17:35.400 --> 01:17:38.400
But they kind of changed their mind.

01:17:38.400 --> 01:17:44.400
It's like every time I talk to the mom she just tells me how much she hates the LGBT.

01:17:44.400 --> 01:17:47.400
I'm thinking, mom, it's, amen.

01:17:47.400 --> 01:17:54.400
It's like because it's gone so far that it's obvious.

01:17:55.600 --> 01:17:59.700
And the thing is, when it starts at the beginning, it's like, oh, it seems small, it doesn't seem like...

01:17:59.700 --> 01:18:01.400
Is that really that big of a deal?

01:18:01.400 --> 01:18:06.700
But then it gets worse, and worse, and worse, and worse.

01:18:06.700 --> 01:18:12.900
And then it's just like front and center before your face, like, man, feminism is just like all around us.

01:18:12.900 --> 01:18:16.300
And in fundamental Baptist churches.

01:18:16.300 --> 01:18:19.800
Fighting against male leadership in the homes.

01:18:19.800 --> 01:18:21.600
What's the end of Jezebel in the Old Testament?

01:18:21.600 --> 01:18:22.960
2 Kings 9 verse 30.

01:18:24.100 --> 01:18:31.100
And when Jehu was coming to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it and she painted her face and tired her head and looked out of the window.

01:18:31.100 --> 01:18:37.100
And as Jehu entered into the gate, she said, had Zimri peace who slew his master.

01:18:37.100 --> 01:18:43.100
And so basically she's wicked and evil. She's like, well, you know what? If you kill me, you're not going to have any peace.

01:18:43.100 --> 01:18:49.100
Just trying to say whatever to just get out of the situation so she's not killed. And Jezebel is destroyed.

01:18:49.100 --> 01:18:50.380
Are you a foo-foo?

01:18:51.100 --> 01:18:58.100
all of time the name Jezebel is going to be known as the most evil woman that has ever existed

01:19:00.100 --> 01:19:05.100
the number one name that is evil and known as wicked is Jezebel

01:19:05.100 --> 01:19:08.100
we go to Revelation chapter 2 we're going to close up Revelation 2

01:19:19.200 --> 01:19:23.200
And you know what this really comes down to is just a matter of authority.

01:19:25.200 --> 01:19:28.200
There's God given authority in the Bible.

01:19:29.700 --> 01:19:31.700
Look, I am not a perfect husband.

01:19:32.700 --> 01:19:34.200
I am not a perfect father.

01:19:35.700 --> 01:19:37.700
But I'm the one who makes the rules in my home.

01:19:39.200 --> 01:19:40.200
Because I am the leader.

01:19:41.000 --> 01:19:46.960
I make the decisions, I make the rules, and here's the thing, I might disagree with things that you do in your home,

01:19:48.120 --> 01:19:52.480
but you have the authority as the husband. And let me tell you something men,

01:19:53.280 --> 01:20:00.480
if your wives are being rebellious and just starting to promote this feminist sort of garbage, you have to put a stop to it.

01:20:01.240 --> 01:20:07.880
It's gonna get worse and worse, and here's the thing about it. She's not gonna be happy being this rebellious Jezebel.

01:20:09.100 --> 01:20:10.100
She's not.

01:20:11.600 --> 01:20:16.600
The way that God designed is women to have a meek and quiet spirit in the sight of God.

01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:19.100
It's a great price. Let me tell you something. In the sight of your husband,

01:20:20.100 --> 01:20:21.100
it's a great price.

01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:24.100
Not fighting against your husband.

01:20:24.100 --> 01:20:27.100
Not fighting against all the...but no. Having a meek and quiet spirit.

01:20:27.100 --> 01:20:28.100
And here's the thing, ladies.

01:20:29.100 --> 01:20:31.100
You are going to be happier doing that

01:20:31.600 --> 01:20:34.600
than just being like, I am woman, hear me roar.

01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:37.100
That's not going to make you happy.

01:20:37.600 --> 01:20:39.600
It's going to make you miserable.

01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:43.600
Look, I would say a lot of us that are in this room, like my wife is a very smart woman,

01:20:43.600 --> 01:20:46.600
and I'm sure that a lot of guys here say, man, my wife is very smart.

01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:50.600
And look, you know, sometimes my wife is right about things, like she has the right opinion,

01:20:50.600 --> 01:20:52.600
but the thing is, I do make the decisions in my home.

01:20:52.600 --> 01:20:55.600
It's not a matter of who's right in the situation.

01:20:55.600 --> 01:20:58.600
It is a matter of authority.

01:20:58.600 --> 01:21:00.600
And God give an authority.

01:21:01.100 --> 01:21:06.260
I've had jobs before where my boss asked me to do something and inside my head I'm thinking you know what I

01:21:06.900 --> 01:21:08.900
Don't think that's a good idea

01:21:08.900 --> 01:21:11.500
You say what do you do? I just do what he says

01:21:13.300 --> 01:21:15.340
Because I don't make the rules. I'm not the boss

01:21:16.860 --> 01:21:18.580
Doesn't matter if I'm right

01:21:18.580 --> 01:21:22.360
It's like I don't make the rules and when it comes to God given authority

01:21:22.980 --> 01:21:25.540
The God given authority is the one that makes the rules

01:21:27.300 --> 01:21:29.300
Revelation chapter 2 verse 20

01:21:29.700 --> 01:21:34.840
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee because I'll suffer so that woman Jezebel which called herself a prophetess

01:21:35.060 --> 01:21:39.580
to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication and eat things sacrifice and idols and

01:21:39.740 --> 01:21:44.640
I gave her space to repent of her fornication and she repented not you know sometimes you think man

01:21:44.640 --> 01:21:49.700
You know pastors are like too long suffering. They give people a lot of chances, but you know God's long suffering

01:21:51.400 --> 01:21:54.440
And honestly, you know, one of the things is, you know, when you kick somebody out of church,

01:21:54.440 --> 01:21:58.880
you kind of want it to be super obvious where everybody's in agreement with you,

01:21:58.880 --> 01:22:02.520
rather than it being in the gray area.

01:22:02.520 --> 01:22:05.760
But she's given a space to repent of her fornication.

01:22:06.100 --> 01:22:12.420
she repented not and says behold I will cast her into a bed and then that commit adultery with her into great tribulation

01:22:12.820 --> 01:22:18.080
Except they repent of their deeds and I'll kill her children with death and all the churches shall know that I am he which

01:22:18.080 --> 01:22:22.080
Searcheth the reins and hearts and I'll give them to every one of you according to your works look

01:22:22.280 --> 01:22:26.220
We're seeing a bona fide church. This is not a Pentecostal church

01:22:26.900 --> 01:22:28.960
This is not a Catholic Church.

01:22:28.960 --> 01:22:31.560
You're looking at a fundamental Baptist type of church.

01:22:31.560 --> 01:22:36.900
You're looking at a church that is a legitimate church, a real church, and yet in a real church,

01:22:36.900 --> 01:22:42.960
even going back 2,000 years ago, this spirit of feminism can actually come in.

01:22:42.960 --> 01:22:46.140
How much more in 2026?

01:22:46.140 --> 01:22:51.740
Wives, be meek, be quiet, follow your husbands.

01:22:52.100 --> 01:22:53.600
Love your husbands.

01:22:53.600 --> 01:22:56.400
And look, stand by your pastor in these fights.

01:22:56.400 --> 01:22:59.200
And stand by authority.

01:22:59.200 --> 01:23:01.700
Stand by God-given authority.

01:23:01.700 --> 01:23:02.600
Let's close the word of prayer.

01:23:02.600 --> 01:23:03.600
Dear Heavenly Father,

01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:07.760
Thank you for allowing us to be here today and I ask you to help all the couples that are in this room

01:23:08.480 --> 01:23:12.240
For the wives to be submissive and to love their husbands to meet a meek and quiet woman

01:23:12.480 --> 01:23:17.200
Asking to help all the men be the proper leaders and take authority in their homes and to also love their wives god

01:23:17.520 --> 01:23:22.100
Asking to continue to bless this church and help us apply this sermon to our lives in jesus name. We pray. Amen
