00:08.900 --> 00:13.540
I have to eat crow because I said one more week and I said let's see who's right and

00:13.540 --> 00:15.220
brother Jerry was right.

00:15.220 --> 00:16.780
He didn't want to be right but he was.

00:21.200 --> 00:24.560
167 on the first.

02:46.800 --> 02:48.800
All the songs that I can't sing today.

02:51.000 --> 02:58.680
Hi, welcome to Sprint Crest Baptist. Today's August 23rd. Sunday morning service 10 30 a.m. Sunday evening 4 30 p.m.

02:58.680 --> 03:05.000
and then Wednesday service 5 p.m. 5 30 p.m. and then Sunday. So waiting time is 2 p.m.

03:05.000 --> 03:07.960
The verse of the week is Psalm 15 verse 4.

03:13.300 --> 03:17.220
Psalm 15 for it says in whose eyes a vile person is

03:17.220 --> 03:20.020
contempted but he honors them that fear the Lord.

03:20.020 --> 03:24.180
He that's worth his own heard and changeth not.

03:24.180 --> 03:27.780
So there's a lot of good stuff in there that we can learn from.

03:27.780 --> 03:32.260
Just a reminder we're a family integrated church and then

03:32.260 --> 03:35.540
and we have the mother baby room back there in the back and then we have

03:35.540 --> 03:38.660
in a separate room if you need to discipline your children.

03:39.200 --> 03:41.400
Year to date, Solace won 853.

03:41.400 --> 03:42.960
Now we did go out Sol winning.

03:42.960 --> 03:44.920
I got two.

03:44.920 --> 03:46.800
Who else got some?

03:46.800 --> 03:49.280
Two over there.

03:49.280 --> 03:51.520
You got one, Daniel?

03:51.520 --> 03:52.520
I have two.

03:52.520 --> 03:55.080
And you two?

03:55.080 --> 03:55.840
None?

03:55.840 --> 03:56.760
OK.

03:56.760 --> 04:00.800
So we've got seven more.

04:00.800 --> 04:02.160
So we're at 860.

04:05.600 --> 04:12.080
if my math is right which it should be. Two baptisms for the year we have all the anniversaries back

04:12.080 --> 04:19.600
there and then just an update I'll be talking about the Mexico trip later today and then September

04:19.600 --> 04:24.880
5th we changed it from August 29th so Labor Day weekend we're gonna have a soul-witting marathon

04:24.880 --> 04:28.000
which actually probably is better because

04:29.000 --> 04:33.640
The temperature should drop by the end of this week and then by September should be nice. I mean

04:35.320 --> 04:39.240
Even if it's hot, it's not going to be this hot like that was pretty rough

04:39.960 --> 04:43.080
And then a baby shower for mursel wickliffe on september 13th

04:43.080 --> 04:47.080
So just keep praying for all the mothers christian rogers mursel wickliffe sierra navejar

04:47.720 --> 04:51.160
Cynthia garcia who's due next year in february

04:51.880 --> 04:55.480
And then we have just a general checklist and then just pray for the chuck family

04:56.000 --> 05:00.260
Sister Judeen passed away. If you don't know who she was they served here for many years and

05:01.000 --> 05:07.340
So we just praying for her and her family. I mean for for the family as she's gone on to be with the Lord

05:08.360 --> 05:10.360
and I

05:10.940 --> 05:14.040
Think that's it. Is there anything else pastor Cobb anybody?

05:15.360 --> 05:19.260
No, okay, if nothing else, let's turn our handles over to page 246

05:19.460 --> 05:23.260
And then we'll have brother Daniel come up and read Jonah 1

05:24.500 --> 05:30.020
246 redeemed on the first

05:39.900 --> 05:46.200
Redeemed how I love to proclaim it, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb,

05:46.200 --> 05:52.600
Redeemed through His infinite mercy, His child that forever I am.

05:52.600 --> 05:58.600
Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb,

05:58.600 --> 06:07.100
Redeemed, redeemed, His child that forever I am.

06:07.600 --> 06:13.600
Redeemed and so happy in Jesus, no language my rapture can tell.

06:13.600 --> 06:19.600
I know that the light of his presence with me to continually dwell.

06:19.600 --> 06:25.600
Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the lamb.

06:25.600 --> 06:34.600
Redeemed, redeemed, his child that forever I am.

06:35.500 --> 06:41.500
I think of my blessed Redeemer, I think of Him all the day long.

06:41.500 --> 06:47.500
I sing for I cannot be silent, His love is the theme of my song.

06:47.500 --> 06:53.500
Redeem, Redeem, Redeem by the blood of the Lamb.

06:53.500 --> 07:01.500
Redeem, Redeem, His child and forever I am.

07:02.700 --> 07:08.780
I know I shall see in his beauty the king in whose law I delight,

07:08.780 --> 07:14.620
who lovingly guardeth my footstep and giveth me song in the night.

07:14.620 --> 07:29.100
Redeem, redeem, redeem by the blood of the lamb. Redeem, redeem, his child and forever I am.

07:29.100 --> 07:29.600
All right.

07:30.600 --> 07:32.600
Let's turn our Bibles over to Jonah 1.

07:32.600 --> 07:34.600
Jonah 1.

07:45.000 --> 07:51.000
Jonah 1, it says, Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

07:51.000 --> 07:55.960
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it, for the wickedness has come

07:55.960 --> 07:57.240
up before me.

07:57.240 --> 08:01.560
But Jonah rose up to flee into Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to

08:01.560 --> 08:04.720
Joppa, and he found a ship going to Tarshish.

08:04.720 --> 08:09.160
So he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from

08:09.160 --> 08:10.160
the presence of the Lord.

08:10.160 --> 08:10.500
Thank you.

08:10.600 --> 08:16.600
But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.

08:16.600 --> 08:24.600
Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his God, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, till he lightened it of them.

08:24.600 --> 08:29.600
But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship, and he lay, and was fast asleep.

08:29.900 --> 08:39.400
So the shipmaster came unto him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.

08:39.400 --> 08:46.740
And they said, Every one of two his fellow, come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us.

08:46.740 --> 08:49.440
So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.

08:49.700 --> 08:54.140
Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us?

08:54.140 --> 08:57.140
What is thine occupation? And whence comest thou?

08:57.140 --> 09:00.140
What is thy country? And of what people art thou?

09:00.140 --> 09:03.540
And he said unto them, I am in Hebrew, and I fear the Lord,

09:03.540 --> 09:06.540
the God of heaven which made the sea and the dry land.

09:06.540 --> 09:10.540
Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this?

09:10.540 --> 09:14.540
For the men knew that he had fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.

09:14.800 --> 09:19.200
Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be common to us?

09:19.200 --> 09:22.000
For the sea was wrought, and was tempestuous.

09:22.300 --> 09:26.180
And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea.

09:26.180 --> 09:27.980
So shall the sea be calm unto you.

09:27.980 --> 09:31.740
For I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

09:31.740 --> 09:36.020
Nevertheless, the men rode hard to bring it to the land, but they could not, for the sea

09:36.020 --> 09:38.580
wrought, and was tempestuous against them.

09:38.580 --> 09:42.780
Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee,

09:42.780 --> 09:46.780
let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood.

09:46.780 --> 09:49.300
For thou, O Lord, hast done it as it pleased thee.

09:49.700 --> 09:53.700
So they took up Jonah and cast him forth into the sea, and the seas ceased from a raging.

09:53.700 --> 09:58.700
Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered to sacrifice him to the Lord, and made vows.

09:58.700 --> 10:04.700
Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

10:06.700 --> 10:08.700
Pastor Scott, will you pray for the message, please?

10:58.100 --> 11:02.580
Amen. All right, you're there in Jonah one and the title of my sermon

11:02.580 --> 11:07.120
I really it's just more of notes, but the title of my sermon this morning is Mexico City

11:07.700 --> 11:15.020
That great city and so I'm just gonna basically give you guys a little bit of a recap of my missions trip to

11:15.540 --> 11:21.900
Mexico with two thoughts in mind. It's kind of building on what I talked about this morning

11:22.400 --> 11:26.000
But the other one is just kind of pointing out, you know how

11:26.960 --> 11:31.120
The state of the world even in other places and just you know

11:31.120 --> 11:34.720
The negatives and the positives that we ran into but I love that verse right there

11:34.800 --> 11:38.640
It says and let's go to verse one. It says now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of

11:39.340 --> 11:41.340
Amitai saying arise

11:42.400 --> 11:48.360
Go to Nineveh that great city and cry against it for their wickedness has come up before me

11:48.360 --> 11:50.360
And so we have so many

11:50.400 --> 11:54.840
References in the Bible where God basically is telling someone to do something

11:55.120 --> 12:00.880
For the cause and the souls of men and women, you know, the book of Jonah is one of the greatest soul winning

12:01.500 --> 12:07.700
Books in the Bible. It's four chapters. It's a really quick read, but there's so much to unpack in there

12:07.700 --> 12:11.680
Even here we see a little bit of a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ in the sea

12:11.860 --> 12:15.660
We see obviously in chapter 3 we're gonna see where he you know

12:15.660 --> 12:17.360
He's talking about he's in the belly of the well

12:17.360 --> 12:23.220
But then eventually it talks about how his soul was not left in hell and it's quoted later on in Acts 2 31

12:23.220 --> 12:29.500
Which we use all the time, but you know, I just think about that word great in the new in the King James that word

12:29.500 --> 12:34.340
great really just means mass like it's a great in size you know today we use

12:34.340 --> 12:37.580
great like oh that was a great player like he's really good or he has some

12:37.580 --> 12:40.340
great attributes but the word great in the King James is talking about a

12:40.340 --> 12:45.620
number and so in that time Nineveh is this great city and a couple of things

12:45.620 --> 12:49.260
to really stand out is number one we know and I'm not gonna preach on Jonah

12:49.260 --> 12:54.100
but it's a good recap God just wants people to go and do great work for him

12:54.200 --> 13:00.600
You know Jonah is one of those characters that's great in the Bible because he is so stubborn right?

13:00.760 --> 13:06.040
You mean he's mad at God. He doesn't want the people to get saved. He's got a crappy attitude

13:06.600 --> 13:12.140
But yet god used them to do one of the greatest salvation mission strip of all time

13:12.500 --> 13:16.820
Right, so the first thing is that I just kind of want to point out before we go into this is it doesn't matter

13:16.860 --> 13:22.900
What your attitude is towards missions what your attitude is towards the world if you know that God's called you to do it

13:22.900 --> 13:24.220
You just need to do it

13:24.220 --> 13:30.560
Right and the thing about it is also if you're aware if you're within the sound of my voice or any voice that's preaching

13:30.620 --> 13:34.580
That you need to go so winning and you don't do it. Well, God's gonna prick at you

13:34.580 --> 13:39.220
He's gonna put you in situations where it's gonna be difficult for you to avoid that and so

13:40.100 --> 13:43.520
Number one is, if you don't want to go soul winning, don't listen to the rest of this

13:43.520 --> 13:46.300
message, because God's already now working in your heart.

13:46.300 --> 13:49.460
But if you like soul winning, this is just a great thing to talk about.

13:49.460 --> 13:54.420
So I'm just going to go through, I was there for, I arrived Tuesday, then I came back Saturday,

13:54.420 --> 13:59.980
and I'm just going to give you guys a breakdown, a play by play of what happened on those days.

13:59.980 --> 14:00.980
Because I thought it was really interesting.

14:00.980 --> 14:05.460
a couple of things for me, you know, first of all, I was telling brother Jerry like

14:06.900 --> 14:13.260
I was born in Mexico City, so I know of Mexico City. Of course I've read and when I was 17 we were there

14:13.260 --> 14:15.340
That was the first time since I was 17 that I was back

14:15.660 --> 14:20.780
But just like he was saying like he didn't as I was telling him some of the stuff were out so and he's like

14:20.780 --> 14:23.580
Oh, I didn't think the climate was like this and the environment was like that

14:23.580 --> 14:27.680
You know, you don't think of other cities in the world until you start to actually

14:28.400 --> 14:34.160
plan to go there or whatever. So, you know, I knew that it was up at 7,000 feet. I know it's a big city,

14:34.160 --> 14:39.280
but you know what? I didn't really actually prepare for that. The only thing I prepared for was when I was 17,

14:39.920 --> 14:45.920
we went on vacation. My dad took us there with a couple of, another doctor friend of his, and one of the days

14:46.000 --> 14:50.880
we went up to the castle. You have to actually climb up to the castle they have there in Chapultepec.

14:51.400 --> 14:56.800
I had asthma and I got really sick. So the next day I had to stay in the hotel all day

14:56.880 --> 15:02.740
Like that was the highlight because for us were 17 a bunch of teenagers left alone in a hotel for a whole day

15:02.840 --> 15:08.420
You know, you can only imagine the mayhem we we caused my brother and it was Ben and I'm a Dito

15:08.420 --> 15:11.800
That was over the guys and they just left us now

15:11.800 --> 15:14.480
They weren't sick, but they weren't gonna leave me in the hotel by myself

15:14.480 --> 15:19.160
So they left all the kids all the boys while they took the girls and the parents and they went out

15:19.400 --> 15:26.120
what they want to go do. But so you know I just I just knew geographically that

15:26.120 --> 15:30.000
it was the biggest city I knew that it was a metropolitan area.

15:30.200 --> 15:34.600
So I didn't put two and two together as far as like the things that I was going to run into.

15:34.600 --> 15:41.160
So the very first thing I kind of ran into was the fact that this is not like Mexico what we think.

15:41.160 --> 15:46.600
So when we think of Mexico, at least me, I grew up in a border town, which is a very third world

15:46.600 --> 15:52.200
country type of mentality. I mean, you have people that are educated, you have all the resources,

15:52.200 --> 15:58.040
but for the most part, there's an ignorance that's around. And so that allows us to be more receptive.

15:58.200 --> 16:01.840
So like when I went to a couple years ago, man

16:01.840 --> 16:07.100
There was a streak there where I think I got like 18 15 to 18 souls like in a matter of like two hours

16:07.100 --> 16:12.520
It was just like wine after another after another in a park setting people were just sitting there and I was just able to

16:12.520 --> 16:14.280
Go up to them and hey, you know

16:14.280 --> 16:19.040
If you were to die today and they're just like listening and then the next family and then the next family and the next family

16:19.240 --> 16:23.680
Well when you go to a small town anywhere anytime that you tell someone you're from a big town

16:23.720 --> 16:26.040
They think it's cool. That has nothing to do with

16:26.200 --> 16:29.900
just right now so like if we go to like Hempstead

16:29.900 --> 16:35.660
And it's just cool if someone lives in Austin or Houston or Dallas

16:35.660 --> 16:37.460
because we're from the big city.

16:37.460 --> 16:41.820
I remember growing up, when my cousins were growing up, they lived in Austin.

16:41.820 --> 16:42.980
I lived in the Valley.

16:42.980 --> 16:45.500
I thought they were cool just because they lived in Austin, right?

16:45.500 --> 16:47.140
Obviously, now I know better.

16:47.140 --> 16:47.780
But that was the thing.

16:47.780 --> 16:51.540
So immediately, I arrived there Tuesday afternoon,

16:51.540 --> 16:55.180
and I called Brother Diego, and he's like, hey, we just got, we just left.

16:55.500 --> 17:00.260
But we just arrived to the university to do our next round of sewing.

17:00.260 --> 17:03.140
So I immediately went straight to the university.

17:03.140 --> 17:05.460
I didn't go to the hotel or anything.

17:05.460 --> 17:10.180
The only mistake that I think I made there was that I hadn't eaten all day because I

17:10.180 --> 17:12.060
wanted to make sure I ate some good tacos.

17:12.060 --> 17:13.060
But we I didn't go eat.

17:13.060 --> 17:14.060
I went to go sewing.

17:14.060 --> 17:15.860
So I was a little faint.

17:15.860 --> 17:20.860
But we went to the university or la Universidad de Tuana de Mexico, which is like the largest

17:20.860 --> 17:22.320
University.

17:24.000 --> 17:27.000
Like, it's not a private university, but it's not run by the government.

17:27.000 --> 17:30.000
So it's an autonomous, that's why they use the word autonomous.

17:30.000 --> 17:32.000
And so it's the Autonomous University of Mexico.

17:32.000 --> 17:36.000
And I didn't know, I was left off in the engineering department,

17:36.000 --> 17:40.000
which we found out later, that's where we probably should have gone so many.

17:40.500 --> 17:44.340
but I just followed Brother Diego and we ended up in the philosophy area,

17:44.340 --> 17:48.340
which if you know anything about any university, it's philosophical.

17:48.340 --> 17:53.540
And the first thing that we run into is, number one, we're in the philosophical wing is,

17:53.540 --> 17:59.460
a couple of things I noticed. So if you know anything about Aztec culture or Mexican culture,

17:59.460 --> 18:04.420
they used to play this like ball game. Who's ever seen that where they would hit it with their hip?

18:05.000 --> 18:08.980
They're supposed to throw it into a ring and it's like this big thing. It's made of resurgence

18:09.100 --> 18:14.220
But it's really an aesthetic culture thing and a bunch of guys were playing like this game

18:14.560 --> 18:18.180
But wait, it's a rubber ball now back then it used to be an actual like

18:18.860 --> 18:21.820
Rock ball, but that's not the thing that really stood out to me

18:21.820 --> 18:23.780
Is that in order for them to play it?

18:23.780 --> 18:26.940
I didn't know that they were they were wearing like some kind of belt a

18:27.540 --> 18:32.420
Specific type of belt and because they were wearing this belt their pants were below their butt line

18:32.900 --> 18:35.460
like the men, and I just saw it to myself.

18:35.460 --> 18:37.700
They're out in public without shirts,

18:37.700 --> 18:41.220
and they're just wearing these pants.

18:41.220 --> 18:44.500
But I don't, I didn't understand why that was so important

18:44.500 --> 18:46.900
to play right in the middle of the day, right?

18:46.900 --> 18:48.500
So we start going through this thing,

18:48.500 --> 18:51.220
and as we're going, they're spray-painted everywhere,

18:51.220 --> 18:53.060
like communist propaganda,

18:53.060 --> 18:57.460
like literal Karl Marx communism propaganda everywhere.

18:57.800 --> 19:03.400
literal feminist propaganda everywhere, literal socialist propaganda everywhere,

19:03.400 --> 19:08.200
literal queer and fag infested propaganda everywhere,

19:08.200 --> 19:13.480
like, and then there's literal pagan, like, paintings of the buildings of, like, the

19:13.480 --> 19:19.080
Aztec kings and, you know, queens and the false gods everywhere, so, I mean, like,

19:19.080 --> 19:23.960
I'm excited to be there, but I'm just, like, in this spiritual, like, like...

19:25.000 --> 19:31.380
Desert where there's no God everything is anti-god everybody's anti-god, and I'm thinking to myself

19:31.700 --> 19:34.720
You know where we land, but I'm excited right?

19:34.720 --> 19:41.360
I'm with my people my only experience has been reno sa where when I show up. I just tell people I'm from Houston

19:41.360 --> 19:42.800
It's gonna go great

19:43.400 --> 19:45.480
But that's actually not the case.

19:45.480 --> 19:47.400
Though, you know, as soon as I start talking to people, I'm like,

19:47.400 --> 19:52.040
hey, I'm from Houston, Texas, and we're here on a missions trip,

19:52.040 --> 19:54.360
and we just want to ask you if you're going to go to heaven,

19:54.360 --> 19:56.600
or if you were to die today, are you going to heaven?

19:56.600 --> 19:57.960
And they're like, no, thanks.

19:58.200 --> 20:00.560
And then the next person, no thanks.

20:00.560 --> 20:02.400
And the next person, no thanks.

20:02.400 --> 20:03.760
And the next person, no thanks.

20:03.760 --> 20:05.240
And then I actually sat down with one guy

20:05.240 --> 20:06.920
who actually gave me the time,

20:06.920 --> 20:08.640
but then he's like, I'm good.

20:08.640 --> 20:09.480
I'm good with God.

20:09.480 --> 20:11.040
I was like, well, but based on what you're telling me,

20:11.040 --> 20:11.920
you're not good with God.

20:11.920 --> 20:13.320
He's like, I'm good with God.

20:14.240 --> 20:16.840
In the meantime, a couple of things

20:16.840 --> 20:19.520
that also stand out to me is while we're doing this,

20:21.040 --> 20:23.000
I didn't realize there were so many dykes.

20:23.300 --> 20:27.460
So, you know, I don't, who's ever been to Mexico anywhere, besides my wife?

20:27.460 --> 20:33.220
And if you ever go to Mexico, public displays of affection are just different than they are here.

20:33.220 --> 20:36.420
So like you got all these couples and they're like just making out everywhere.

20:36.420 --> 20:38.420
It's something like, like, it's like get a room, right?

20:39.140 --> 20:42.100
Which is annoying, but at least it's like male and female.

20:42.660 --> 20:46.340
But what I didn't realize was there was a lot of female on female or male on male.

20:46.340 --> 20:49.060
Like it's just, and then the smell of weed was everywhere.

20:49.060 --> 20:49.900
So...

20:50.100 --> 20:52.100
It was just kind of a crazy experience.

20:52.100 --> 20:55.780
So this is a start to like my soul winning missus trip.

20:55.780 --> 20:59.460
But even with all of that, I ended up talking to a young lady

20:59.460 --> 21:02.220
who looked like she was gonna be an Aztec queen,

21:02.220 --> 21:04.320
pink hair, red hair everywhere,

21:04.320 --> 21:07.140
kind of weird dotted tattoos on her forehead

21:07.140 --> 21:10.640
and on the side of her head with these Aztec looking earrings.

21:10.640 --> 21:12.620
But you know what, she gave me the time of day

21:12.620 --> 21:15.340
and she got saved and that was like my first salvation.

21:15.340 --> 21:17.000
I finally, I was just like, I broke.

21:17.000 --> 21:19.640
broke the seal, I feel good, we're gonna do this,

21:19.640 --> 21:20.920
it's gonna be great.

21:20.920 --> 21:23.200
We ended the day, you know, of course I got there later,

21:23.200 --> 21:26.120
we ended the day, turn your Bibles over to 2 Timothy,

21:26.120 --> 21:27.480
turn your Bibles over to 2 Timothy,

21:27.480 --> 21:29.440
so like my scripture's gonna be a little bit scattered today

21:29.440 --> 21:33.600
because I wanna really emphasize what comes to mind

21:33.600 --> 21:35.680
when I'm going there and.

21:35.680 --> 21:35.700
you

21:35.800 --> 21:41.120
kind of build on the sermon from this morning as to why it's so important that we do all

21:41.120 --> 21:42.680
of the things that we do.

21:42.680 --> 21:47.040
I really think the foundation is soul winning, but I really think that the way to get better

21:47.040 --> 21:52.280
at soul winning is to show up to church as many times as possible.

21:52.280 --> 21:55.720
Three times a week would be ideal, but you show up to church as many times as possible.

21:55.720 --> 22:01.080
But also that you memorize scripture and that you read scripture so that the Bible actually

22:01.080 --> 22:02.400
starts to make sense.

22:02.500 --> 22:09.700
Because if you realize as you're reading the Bible, you also realize that when you're running out there in the in the battlefield

22:10.060 --> 22:13.780
The Bible is actually really accurate you go to second Timothy 3

22:14.380 --> 22:18.600
And I'll read for you really quick verse 7, but we're actually gonna go through the whole chapter

22:18.600 --> 22:23.460
We're not gonna spend all our time here, but it's just interesting the way that it's broken down, but right there in verse 7

22:23.900 --> 22:30.380
Everything that came to mind here when I was there is ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of truth

22:31.600 --> 22:35.100
I mean, it's a great, it's a legit university.

22:35.100 --> 22:37.060
Like there was not just Mexicans there,

22:37.060 --> 22:38.020
there's foreigners there.

22:38.020 --> 22:40.100
People are flying from all over the world

22:40.100 --> 22:42.940
to be at this university because they're educating people

22:42.940 --> 22:45.140
properly on whatever subject they are.

22:45.140 --> 22:47.580
You know, we went to, I went to use one of the restrooms

22:47.580 --> 22:51.260
in one of the buildings and there's libraries everywhere.

22:51.260 --> 22:53.860
There's obviously kind of weird art everywhere.

22:53.860 --> 22:55.600
But people are there to actually.

22:55.700 --> 23:00.700
think that they're educating themselves, that they're making themselves better, more productive

23:00.700 --> 23:05.080
members of society, but really all they're doing is just like any university here, they're

23:05.080 --> 23:09.300
just goofing off and they think they're getting life lessons, what they're really just getting

23:09.300 --> 23:12.700
is indoctrination into the devils of the world, right?

23:12.700 --> 23:18.980
You go there in verse one, you know, if we were to read 2 Timothy 3, it's literally describing

23:18.980 --> 23:19.980
the environment I was in.

23:19.980 --> 23:20.400
it.

23:20.800 --> 23:27.700
Says in verse one that says this this know also that in the last days perilous time shall come for man shall be lovers of

23:27.700 --> 23:29.540
their own selves

23:29.540 --> 23:31.700
covetous boasters proud

23:32.600 --> 23:35.460
blasphemers disobedient to parents unthankful

23:35.860 --> 23:41.080
Unholy and you know I'm sitting there and people are just like you know I was thinking of all those young ladies

23:41.080 --> 23:46.300
Just making out with all those guys. I'm thinking is that really how their parents raise them like that's what the pair you know

23:46.900 --> 23:51.220
Now that I'm a parent, I'm thinking all these kids are here, where are their parents?

23:51.220 --> 23:55.380
And I wonder what the parents are thinking of all these kids sitting around, you know,

23:55.380 --> 23:59.460
smoking weed and probably talking about some philosophical thing they just learned and just

23:59.460 --> 24:02.740
being idiots. You know, that says without natural affection.

24:04.100 --> 24:10.500
You know, Mexico, this great city, has also lost their way because they've got all this indoctrination of,

24:10.500 --> 24:12.100
forget the Catholics anymore.

24:12.100 --> 24:19.300
It's so bad that now it's just communism and feminism and just, you know, be who you are or think who you think you are.

24:19.300 --> 24:29.000
And they've lost the natural affection of their truth-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

24:29.000 --> 24:32.100
traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure.

24:32.100 --> 24:37.420
are more than lovers of God. Having a form of godliness but denying the power

24:37.420 --> 24:41.220
thereof from such turn away and it made me think of that young man he's like

24:41.220 --> 24:46.420
I'm good you know I I have my own idea of God those were the words you were

24:46.420 --> 24:50.020
saying like I I've got to take care of you look at the buildings and it's like

24:50.020 --> 24:54.580
the false god of this and the false god of that they've gone away and it's

24:54.580 --> 24:59.100
because they've indoctrinated themselves with the religions of the world.

24:59.100 --> 25:03.100
Communism is an atheistic religion of the world.

25:03.100 --> 25:13.100
And literally the president of Mexico is a female who is communist, who espouses to all these thoughts.

25:13.100 --> 25:17.100
I mean, I literally, and this has nothing to do with my mission strip, but...

25:17.300 --> 25:21.540
I guess because I was in Mexico, my algorithm was feeding me Mexican stuff.

25:21.540 --> 25:25.940
So some of the cool stuff was like it started telling me like the cool places to go to Mexico, right?

25:25.940 --> 25:29.860
So I kept telling Daniels like, oh look, we should next time we need to go here and here, whatever.

25:30.500 --> 25:36.980
But then I got this like weird clip of this like professor who was basically performing

25:37.780 --> 25:43.140
like or mimicking these acts of sodomy with his students.

25:44.100 --> 25:49.140
in like Guadalajara and then like it all of a sudden hit social media and it wasn't just like a one-off

25:49.140 --> 25:53.540
it's like this thing had been going on for months and now he's like under review and everything

25:53.540 --> 25:59.940
but it's just like we've gotten like Mexico is in a bad place this great city and instead of like

25:59.940 --> 26:03.140
having this good attitude of going all over the world to do this work

26:03.700 --> 26:06.200
You know, people have a bad attitude.

26:06.200 --> 26:07.500
They don't want to get in trouble.

26:07.500 --> 26:09.700
They don't want to go places because it's dangerous.

26:09.700 --> 26:10.800
They don't want to do things.

26:10.800 --> 26:12.300
But we just need to have Jonah's attitude.

26:12.300 --> 26:13.800
We just need to go out there and do it.

26:13.800 --> 26:14.400
Right?

26:14.400 --> 26:18.900
I mean, it really isn't the greatest city to go to in the sense that

26:18.900 --> 26:24.700
it's not it's not receptive from the point of view that it's been highly indoctrinated.

26:24.700 --> 26:27.600
But what's cool is that it's really receptive.

26:27.900 --> 26:34.300
Because it's also just a big city like you're just dealing with a lot of people you say that sounds confusing. It's it's actually not

26:34.940 --> 26:37.020
Confusing it's it's different

26:38.100 --> 26:39.740
So here, I'll give you a great example.

26:39.740 --> 26:41.380
If we go to like a nice neighborhood here,

26:41.380 --> 26:42.780
we know it's not going to be receptive, right?

26:42.780 --> 26:43.940
Every door we're going to knock is like,

26:43.940 --> 26:45.300
hey, we don't have time.

26:45.300 --> 26:46.660
Or we go to a receptive neighborhood

26:46.660 --> 26:47.980
and people are going to be open to it.

26:47.980 --> 26:50.060
But in Mexico City, it's like one or the other.

26:50.060 --> 26:51.340
It's just the extremes.

26:51.340 --> 26:53.780
Either people are already like too

26:53.780 --> 26:55.180
philosophically indoctrinated,

26:55.180 --> 26:57.740
but what's cool is because it's a big city

26:57.740 --> 26:59.540
like New York or, you know, Brother Jerry,

26:59.540 --> 27:00.980
you came from Chicago.

27:00.980 --> 27:02.300
You know, when you come in a big city,

27:02.300 --> 27:03.740
people are just like really blunt

27:03.740 --> 27:05.540
because life is too quick.

27:05.540 --> 27:06.100
They don't have time.

27:06.100 --> 27:09.180
So you either people are just like no we don't want to hear it or yeah

27:09.180 --> 27:14.740
We want to hear it and the one thing that was really different that I really enjoyed you're there in in second Timothy stay there

27:14.740 --> 27:16.500
we're gonna be in verse 10, but

27:16.500 --> 27:18.420
was that

27:18.420 --> 27:20.980
The the salvation's were were much easier

27:21.500 --> 27:27.880
Because it is a little bit better educated than the rest of Mexico because people know stuff and they've read books on philosophy

27:27.880 --> 27:31.840
And they've read books on religion their knowledge if they have the knowledge of God

27:32.100 --> 27:38.540
They have a better knowledge than having to overcome like repenting your sins or you know eternal salvation

27:38.540 --> 27:42.040
So whenever I got to those things I didn't even have to fix them

27:42.360 --> 27:48.100
You know like hey if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you have eternal life. How long does it last forever?

27:48.700 --> 27:53.420
What if you commit some grave sin like suicide and you died where you're gonna go heaven?

27:53.500 --> 27:57.460
Why well because I have eternal life like those concepts were not hard to overcome

27:57.700 --> 27:59.640
So you know why they're hard to overcome here

27:59.640 --> 28:04.560
So we also have problems in the United States is because there's another type of indoctrination which is a work salvation

28:05.100 --> 28:09.180
So even though we're not indoctrinating people from on feminism and I know

28:09.780 --> 28:12.600
You know, I'm talking in the general scream of it scheme of things

28:13.220 --> 28:16.000
Although it's not as prominent for example here in Texas

28:17.000 --> 28:19.500
we have other things that we have to overcome.

28:19.500 --> 28:21.700
So the battle's always gonna be a battle.

28:21.700 --> 28:23.220
We're always dealing with things.

28:23.220 --> 28:24.800
And if you look at 2nd Timothy 3,

28:24.800 --> 28:26.380
that's kinda literally what it's talking about.

28:26.380 --> 28:27.760
Like the first nine verses is saying,

28:27.760 --> 28:31.340
hey, there's this group of people that are reprobate.

28:31.340 --> 28:32.580
And they're doing all they can

28:32.580 --> 28:34.240
to get everybody to be ever learning

28:34.240 --> 28:35.820
and never coming to the knowledge of truth.

28:35.820 --> 28:37.660
And that's kinda how I felt in Mexico.

28:37.660 --> 28:40.400
It's like all these people are just like,

28:40.400 --> 28:42.540
you go everywhere and you know what's really popular

28:42.540 --> 28:43.380
still in Mexico?

28:43.380 --> 28:43.900
Books.

28:44.100 --> 28:47.860
But we were looking at the books and it's like, you know, books on, you know,

28:48.900 --> 28:55.700
like written all by Jews about the Nazis and about communism and about feminism and about this

28:55.700 --> 29:01.620
and about the history of Mexico and how it's been corrupted by Nazis and feminists and communism,

29:01.620 --> 29:03.940
but we still need to somehow adopt. I guess weird.

29:04.600 --> 29:08.760
Right here the book stores are kind of dying, but people are now reading like ebooks or whatever

29:08.760 --> 29:14.020
I don't know it's just it's kind of weird but go to verse 10 and the Bible says there, but thou has fully known

29:15.400 --> 29:19.160
So he gives this long list and he says, hey, these people are ever learning.

29:19.160 --> 29:23.800
I'm sorry, let's go to verse eight. It says, and now is Janus and Jambrus with Sid Moses.

29:23.800 --> 29:29.640
So do these also resist the truth. Men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the faith,

29:29.640 --> 29:35.800
but they shall proceed no further for their fall shall be made manifest unto all men as theirs.

29:36.400 --> 29:41.600
Also was and then he makes this transition. She's like but but thou has also fully known

29:42.200 --> 29:43.720
my doctrine

29:43.720 --> 29:45.160
manner of life

29:45.160 --> 29:46.720
purpose faith

29:46.720 --> 29:52.160
long-suffering charity patience persecutions afflictions which came to me at Antioch at

29:52.600 --> 29:59.480
Econium at Lystra what persecutions I endured but out of them the Lord deliver me yay

29:59.480 --> 30:04.260
and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution, but

30:04.400 --> 30:11.720
evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."

30:11.720 --> 30:12.720
And what is he saying?

30:12.720 --> 30:16.120
He's saying, no matter what, I state the course.

30:16.120 --> 30:19.400
And even when I state the course, it's still going to get worse.

30:19.400 --> 30:20.400
Right?

30:20.400 --> 30:21.600
So we just, we can't...

30:21.900 --> 30:24.860
We can't worry about, hey Mary, I think she's waking up.

30:24.860 --> 30:27.660
Mary, sorry, my daughter fell asleep over here by the piano.

30:27.660 --> 30:31.580
But we can't lose our focus is what it comes down to.

30:31.580 --> 30:35.980
I called my mom because I didn't know she was following me on Facebook.

30:35.980 --> 30:38.300
One of the things I didn't do was I didn't tell my parents.

30:38.300 --> 30:45.660
I'm a 46-year-old man with my own family and my dad to this day will not sanction me

30:45.660 --> 30:47.500
to travel anywhere that he thinks is dangerous.

30:48.200 --> 30:51.580
So of course that my mom found out I'm like, hey mom, don't tell dad

30:52.100 --> 30:55.820
But that's a failure because they've been married for over 40 years. She's gonna tell my dad

30:55.820 --> 30:59.920
So I called him like on FaceTime like one of the days I was showing him some food

30:59.920 --> 31:04.280
I was eating and of course my dad was there. You know what? He didn't do he didn't greet me. He was pissed

31:05.200 --> 31:09.200
And even today I call him and I say, hey dad, I had this thing with my leg.

31:09.200 --> 31:12.400
You know, he's like, oh, don't worry. It was from all the walking and everything.

31:12.400 --> 31:16.400
He's like, I can't believe you went to Mexico. It's so dangerous. You could die, you know.

31:16.400 --> 31:19.280
And it's true. I could have. Like, it is dangerous. As a matter of fact,

31:19.280 --> 31:22.560
I'm going to tell you a story here in a second of a guy who almost died, but...

31:23.200 --> 31:28.640
What do we we we just don't go anywhere because the lost you know are dangerous we go where the lost are

31:29.040 --> 31:32.800
And everybody isn't that what jonas attitude was he's like. I don't want to go these are bad people

31:33.680 --> 31:35.520
I mean later on he's like

31:35.520 --> 31:42.560
He's like i'm mad at you god because I knew that you're gonna lead these people to you and I didn't want him to come to you

31:43.680 --> 31:45.680
But he still did the job, right?

31:45.680 --> 31:46.500
and so

31:46.600 --> 31:48.920
Paul here is saying, hey, stay the course.

31:48.920 --> 31:50.380
And that's really what we want to do.

31:50.380 --> 31:52.000
It doesn't matter if I went to Mexico

31:52.000 --> 31:54.560
or we just went wherever we went today.

31:54.560 --> 31:56.400
We've got to stay the course.

31:56.400 --> 31:58.680
That's the whole goal.

31:58.680 --> 32:02.280
I didn't even, and I told you guys, and rightfully so,

32:02.280 --> 32:05.240
even I called brother Jerry yesterday earlier,

32:05.240 --> 32:06.800
and I said, hey, I might not go out,

32:06.800 --> 32:08.680
because I had this weird thing where my legs

32:08.680 --> 32:10.080
swelled up on the last day.

32:10.080 --> 32:11.200
I don't want to push it.

32:11.200 --> 32:14.000
You know, you're hard just, once you get in the mood,

32:14.000 --> 32:14.600
you just want to.

32:14.600 --> 32:16.480
be out there doing the work of the Lord.

32:16.480 --> 32:18.240
And I mean, you know, I'm glad that I went

32:18.240 --> 32:21.160
because I got two souls that I probably wouldn't have gotten

32:21.160 --> 32:23.400
or somebody wouldn't have gotten if it wasn't for the fact

32:23.400 --> 32:24.760
that we were out there doing the work.

32:24.760 --> 32:26.480
Go there verse 14.

32:26.480 --> 32:28.360
The final part I just want for this Tuesday

32:28.360 --> 32:29.480
because this really stood out to me.

32:29.480 --> 32:34.480
This is how we started this thing is that no matter what,

32:35.080 --> 32:37.280
it's still perfect says it makes us better.

32:37.280 --> 32:39.780
And you know, we got to get the reps in.

32:39.780 --> 32:41.680
See the problem with most people is

32:41.900 --> 32:46.520
The next generation needs to learn from our generation and we learn from their generation that

32:47.180 --> 32:51.100
Success is just basically a failure at life

32:51.600 --> 32:56.520
Like really you ought to wake up and just be like what am I gonna fail at today so that I can be successful in

32:56.520 --> 33:01.900
Something and we've got this this mentality now and even in Christian circles where it's like

33:01.900 --> 33:08.700
Oh, well, God says if you do this if you do a plus B, you're gonna get C, but that's not really how God works

33:09.300 --> 33:15.900
God's like, hey, you need to do A plus B, you will get C, but I'm going to throw in

33:15.900 --> 33:21.420
D, E, F, and G before I bring you back to C. I mean, Job was living rightfully, Job was

33:21.420 --> 33:26.780
doing right by God, Job was eschewing evil, he was one that was above reproach.

33:26.780 --> 33:31.460
And so logically, the way that it's being preached today in the circles is that, hey,

33:31.460 --> 33:32.820
Job should have had this great life.

33:33.200 --> 33:40.640
He did, but before he had the great life, he had this horrible, horrific life where he lost his family,

33:40.640 --> 33:45.840
and he lost his money, and he lost his slaves, and he lost his goats, and he lost his sheep,

33:45.840 --> 33:51.840
and he lost his house, and the only one left was his wife, and his wife was like, hey, curse God and die.

33:52.400 --> 33:53.900
But then he got the good stuff, right?

33:53.900 --> 33:57.360
And we see this, Paul went through all these persecutions

33:57.360 --> 33:59.520
and he went through all of this, but he stayed the course.

33:59.520 --> 34:03.200
And verse 14 says, but continue thou in the things

34:03.200 --> 34:04.900
which thou has learned.

34:04.900 --> 34:08.420
He says, hey, stay on the track.

34:08.420 --> 34:12.240
And has been assured of knowing of whom thou has learned.

34:12.240 --> 34:14.440
What do we do when we're out so many?

34:14.440 --> 34:16.120
99% of the time we're having to peep,

34:16.120 --> 34:16.960
we're having to,

34:18.300 --> 34:22.220
Convince people or persuade them that this is a sure thing right?

34:22.220 --> 34:24.580
I mean the guy that I let to the door Lord today

34:24.700 --> 34:28.200
He knew the verse is almost better than I did this old black guy

34:28.380 --> 34:30.980
But you know what we wasn't sure of that if he died today

34:30.980 --> 34:32.980
He was gonna be a hundred percent sure to go to heaven

34:33.300 --> 34:38.820
And I said Charles the only thing I really need to clear up with you today is you said you weren't sure

34:39.100 --> 34:41.420
Let me show you the Bible where we know it sure

34:42.000 --> 34:44.200
And let me just clear that up for you today.

34:44.200 --> 34:46.120
And when I left, he was like, you know what?

34:46.120 --> 34:47.040
This is true.

34:47.040 --> 34:49.920
And then it was interesting as he got up and he said,

34:49.920 --> 34:52.640
you know, there's these guys, the Jehovah's Witnesses,

34:52.640 --> 34:54.500
they don't even believe in the Trinity.

34:55.200 --> 34:58.460
Charles knew more than most Baptist know today about the jobs witness

34:58.460 --> 35:01.000
He's like and he's taught, you know, of course Charles is an older gentleman

35:01.000 --> 35:04.740
He's an older black guy like probably in his 70s maybe closer to his 80s

35:04.740 --> 35:08.320
And you know, I'm not picking on old people but old people have lived life

35:08.420 --> 35:10.820
So it just makes sense that they just want to talk about life

35:10.820 --> 35:13.900
And if I had time I would have stayed with Charles, but we have to do other work

35:13.900 --> 35:16.520
But Charles was just a really nice guy but go there it says

35:17.200 --> 35:24.040
Verse 15 and that from a child thou has known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise into salvation through faith

35:24.040 --> 35:26.040
Which is in Jesus Christ which is in Christ Jesus

35:26.320 --> 35:28.020
And he's what does it say all?

35:28.020 --> 35:34.020
Scriptures given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in

35:34.480 --> 35:41.420
Righteousness that the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished what unto all good works

35:42.200 --> 35:47.160
So we've got to know our Bible so that we can also overcome things because you know I went in there

35:47.160 --> 35:52.040
I'm thinking I'm going to knock this thing out. I'm not going to lie to you. I set this goal of 60 souls

35:52.040 --> 35:58.520
I figured I could get 15 a day for four days and I'd come back with 60 souls. I came back with 16

35:59.300 --> 36:00.700
So that just sets you up.

36:00.700 --> 36:05.900
But the one thing is, I've read my Bible enough to know that, hey, this is what we need to do.

36:05.900 --> 36:10.100
All this is going to perfect me into the better, you know, into the next level.

36:10.100 --> 36:12.500
And it's not like this is the only time we're going to go there.

36:12.500 --> 36:13.900
So that was Tuesday.

36:13.900 --> 36:15.500
Then we went to go eat tacos.

36:15.500 --> 36:18.100
And just so you know, every day ends with tacos.

36:18.100 --> 36:19.900
And there's tacos in between.

36:19.900 --> 36:22.900
And I ate more tacos than I've eaten in like the last 10 years.

36:22.900 --> 36:26.400
And it was probably the second greatest experience of my life besides the soul wedding.

36:26.400 --> 36:26.900
So I just.

36:27.300 --> 36:31.380
If you see me smile, it's when I'm talking about all the tacos and the great hot sauces.

36:31.380 --> 36:34.500
And that's just part of being a Mexican.

36:34.500 --> 36:39.980
And just anybody who visits will understand once they eat the tacos there why it's so

36:39.980 --> 36:42.260
important to talk about tacos.

36:42.260 --> 36:48.260
But you go to Wednesday, and we had, by the way, when we get there I meet the guy.

36:48.260 --> 36:51.860
There's this young guy, the young guy, he's about 27, 28.

36:51.860 --> 36:52.860
His name's Yanni.

36:53.400 --> 36:57.580
Yoni with a Y not Johnny but Johnny Yoni is what he called him

36:57.620 --> 37:00.980
But his second name is David and since his wife's name is Yoli

37:00.980 --> 37:06.160
He goes by David because he doesn't want people to get I guess they got him confused but this guy David

37:06.300 --> 37:10.120
He's like ordained typically like a typical old IFB guy

37:10.120 --> 37:15.800
So pastor when has a Bible school in this thing. It's like this massive

37:16.300 --> 37:20.140
like several, it's probably the size of a Costco, like the church.

37:20.140 --> 37:21.520
I mean, this thing's massive.

37:21.520 --> 37:25.100
And then when it's like enclosed like in a campus,

37:25.100 --> 37:26.600
and outside of the church,

37:26.600 --> 37:29.200
there's like all these classrooms like three stories high.

37:29.200 --> 37:31.420
You just see into the windows of all these classrooms.

37:31.420 --> 37:33.000
And I guess he has a college there.

37:33.000 --> 37:33.900
And so-

37:34.400 --> 37:38.560
Generations have grown up. He's like, oh my dad came to this church. I grew up in this church

37:38.560 --> 37:43.480
I met my wife at this church and then I got trained in the ministry in this church and

37:44.120 --> 37:48.740
Part of what they do is whenever people come in they they'll host them and David

37:48.740 --> 37:54.260
I mean Diego had kind of made this relationship with him. So we met the guy I thought he was just there that day

37:54.260 --> 37:56.520
I didn't realize he was just gonna be with us all week and

37:57.120 --> 38:00.140
a couple of things that are real nice is even though

38:00.800 --> 38:04.800
I mentioned that they're old IFB because, you know, Pastor Wynn comes from over here.

38:04.800 --> 38:08.800
They're also just Mexican culture, right? So they're not all indoctrinated.

38:08.800 --> 38:13.800
They don't know all the weird stuff that's being taught at like the old IFB churches over here.

38:13.800 --> 38:16.800
Literally, they're just preaching.

38:17.600 --> 38:21.960
get people saved. They're just doing a bunch of salvation. So he's with us. So Wednesday

38:21.960 --> 38:25.360
morning he's like, Hey, I'm going to take you guys to this like medical center. We go

38:25.360 --> 38:29.400
here all the time. And you know, this is where we lead people to Christ and you know, there's

38:29.400 --> 38:33.040
all this traffic. So have you noticed already the soul winning is like a little bit different

38:33.040 --> 38:38.120
where we're not doing a lot of door knocking. And I was showing a Jerry earlier. It's just

38:38.120 --> 38:41.600
like people everywhere. So imagine you're alive.

38:42.300 --> 38:49.580
But with people everywhere and none of the comforts and none of the peace and just everybody's up in your business, that's Mexico for you.

38:49.580 --> 39:02.260
So like, you know, the best way I can describe it is like, you know, when we have all the kids here, just on like between services, and they're just like always in your way and there's always noise and there's never any peace.

39:02.660 --> 39:04.700
That's Mexico, but like 24 seven a day.

39:04.700 --> 39:06.700
I mean it's just like, it's just noise.

39:06.700 --> 39:07.700
It's just like,

39:08.900 --> 39:15.520
People just walk you by they're bumping you. It's just like everywhere you turn. It's just a sea of people so we get there

39:16.160 --> 39:20.280
Oh, man, did I not turn on my my timer? No, I didn't but it's okay

39:20.280 --> 39:21.900
I know it's not gonna be a long-term

39:21.900 --> 39:25.700
We go to the Medical Center and we get to preach at two locations

39:25.700 --> 39:31.420
So the first one is we get this little Plaza we preach there the Plaza is probably the size of our lot over here

39:31.800 --> 39:34.520
So that's how we're preaching there.

39:34.520 --> 39:35.800
And a couple of things that really stood out to me.

39:35.800 --> 39:37.280
So turn your Bibles over to Matthew 4.

39:37.280 --> 39:40.540
Matthew 4, I'm telling you, the Bible just kind of stands out.

39:40.540 --> 39:42.800
You need to read your Bible and then you need to go on a mission strip.

39:42.800 --> 39:48.160
And then you'll, not that you don't, not that you don't know the Bible is true, but.

39:48.500 --> 39:53.740
It's kind of like I had a lot of these conversations with people where they're like, oh well, you know, I believe in God

39:54.100 --> 39:58.920
But you know, why does God let people do this or why does happen this or what? You know, I'm like well

39:58.920 --> 40:00.800
There's two faiths technically

40:00.800 --> 40:01.780
I mean, I know it's one faith

40:01.780 --> 40:07.360
But there's the believing faith and we all have to get believe in faith to believe on Jesus Christ and we just go to heaven

40:07.580 --> 40:09.580
But then there's like the faith of life, right?

40:09.820 --> 40:16.420
Like I'm like and I kept telling people like the reason that you're relating to me right now is because I'm not discounting any of your trouble

40:16.500 --> 40:18.860
I believe I agree with you

40:18.860 --> 40:22.100
It's hard for me to look out in the world and be like how can these be happening?

40:22.100 --> 40:29.140
But I have the faith in God and God explains all this but I also fail and sometimes I have I lack in faith in my

40:29.220 --> 40:35.000
Monetary situation or with you know, like how I'm raising my family or the safety or things like that

40:35.000 --> 40:37.080
You know just faith in life is just tough

40:37.600 --> 40:43.200
So we're here and we'll go to Matthew 4, but the thing that clears up all my faith is that we read our Bible.

40:43.200 --> 40:47.100
Go to Matthew 4, right there, verse 23, it says that Jesus went about all Galilee,

40:47.100 --> 40:50.000
teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,

40:50.000 --> 40:54.300
and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease of the people,

40:54.300 --> 40:58.700
and his fame went throughout all Syria, and they brought people unto him, all sick people,

40:58.700 --> 41:04.100
that were taken with diverse diseases and torment, and those which were possessed with devils,

41:04.100 --> 41:05.600
and those which were lunatics.

41:05.600 --> 41:13.020
and those that had palsy and he healed them and they followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee and from Decapolis and from

41:13.200 --> 41:20.080
Jerusalem and from Judea and from beyond Jordan and you know you go out you read this it's kind of hard to imagine until you go

41:20.080 --> 41:21.760
to a place like Mexico

41:21.760 --> 41:25.720
you know I'm sitting there in this first location, and it's a plaza and

41:26.520 --> 41:32.200
The people are just like gathered in droves for all kinds of activity the first thing that's there

41:32.800 --> 41:34.800
that there's a Catholic Church

41:35.000 --> 41:39.280
Man, Mexico is crazy though. I'm not for the Catholic Church, but the crazy thing they did

41:39.320 --> 41:43.240
There's this car park in the side of the street and it's I thought they were fixing it

41:43.240 --> 41:50.080
You know the hoods open and they have all these terminals going to the battery and the battery is going to a converter and the converters

41:50.080 --> 41:54.120
Going to this long thing and it's plugged into like this be like, you know

41:54.120 --> 41:57.320
This audio system for a mic and a speaker and music

41:57.800 --> 42:04.040
And there's this long, wide tent that was probably like maybe 30 feet long, like 10 feet wide.

42:04.040 --> 42:07.640
And they set up all these little baby stools. And you know what they started doing?

42:07.640 --> 42:12.680
They started having Catholic mass. Right there in the middle, like in the middle of the plaza,

42:13.800 --> 42:15.400
only for the people that wanted it.

42:15.900 --> 42:20.700
Now we're so winning there's this Catholic. I mean when I say there's a ton of noise

42:20.700 --> 42:24.320
It's literally like this guy's literally like and it's women and men

42:24.320 --> 42:28.940
They're like, you know in the name of the Father the Holy Ghost our pure blah blah blah blah bleh

42:30.660 --> 42:34.740
And I'm like hey if you were to die you're going to and I'm trying to talk over all this noise

42:34.740 --> 42:38.220
Like this is exactly how it's it's going on and people are lined up

42:38.420 --> 42:43.780
Then there's in this other line over here somewhere and it's the government like just handing out water

42:43.900 --> 42:49.780
and food and vouchers. So there's all these people lined up for that. And then on the

42:49.780 --> 42:55.580
other side, like over here, there's this like old guy, like this frail looking old guy,

42:55.580 --> 42:59.980
like probably in his 70s or 80s, and he's street preaching.

43:00.300 --> 43:04.700
And I didn't get to hear it all but it looked like he it sounded like he was preaching the word of god like

43:05.100 --> 43:09.900
The part that I heard because i'm focused on so many this is all going on in the same plaza

43:09.980 --> 43:16.160
I'm not even done because while there's the mass going on here. You got three queer ass like

43:17.000 --> 43:22.220
Whatever you call them they call them fathers or whatever, you know, they're dressed in their long robes and everybody's coming to them

43:22.220 --> 43:27.040
I don't know if they're doing confession or if people are asking for advice or for prayers or whatever

43:27.040 --> 43:28.040
but you know

43:28.040 --> 43:34.880
Jesus is followed because people want leadership and people want clarity and they think that they're getting fixed

43:35.300 --> 43:46.800
Because the surrounding hospital, I think it was like a cancer center, and people are waiting for their loved ones, they're waiting for healing, and this church is just doing, sending people to hell in a handbasket, while we're leading people out of hell.

43:46.800 --> 43:56.800
We're literally like in the spiritual battle. I don't know what this old guy's preaching over here. You got this Catholic mass with men and women. You got a bunch of, you know, people roped.

43:56.800 --> 44:02.300
And then you got the government panning out, and you say, well, why do you involve the government in your conversation?

44:02.300 --> 44:03.300
because I know what they're doing.

44:03.300 --> 44:07.100
They're handing out vouchers and free food.

44:07.100 --> 44:09.800
People are living off the government dough worse than here

44:09.800 --> 44:11.800
because they're pushing their communist agenda.

44:12.300 --> 44:19.300
In the last seven years, Mexico has been ruined by this political group that didn't even exist until seven years ago called Morena.

44:19.300 --> 44:24.100
And they're literally a communist regime that worships the devil.

44:24.100 --> 44:29.600
And I mean, so far, it's so far gone that there's actually a queer stipend.

44:29.600 --> 44:32.400
Now, they won't call it that. You have to like read the thing.

44:32.400 --> 44:34.600
And I had him send it, but I couldn't get the website to work.

44:34.600 --> 44:40.200
But a queer stipend where like if you just claim that you're queer, they'll send you monthly money because you're queer.

44:40.500 --> 44:47.020
It's that it's just wild right like it's this thing's just out of hand. You know go over to Luke go over to Luke 20

44:47.760 --> 44:50.360
Go over to Luke 20. I'll read for you real quick. I got to go there, too

44:55.900 --> 44:59.340
This is the things that I observe and this is why I think it's just so important.

44:59.340 --> 45:02.140
My observation is like, we need to do more work.

45:02.700 --> 45:06.780
You know if my goal is we need to we live in houston the fourth largest city

45:06.780 --> 45:10.380
This is a great city like we need to do the same thing. We need to push harder

45:10.780 --> 45:13.340
We need to go art, but but we go there to verse 46

45:14.060 --> 45:18.140
And we need to just do more for the look because it says right there beware of the scribes

45:18.460 --> 45:24.800
Which desire to walk in long robes and love greetings in the markets and the highest seats in the synagogues

45:25.020 --> 45:28.480
And the chief rooms of feasts which devour widows houses

45:29.100 --> 45:34.780
For a show make long prayers the same shall receive greater damnation

45:35.260 --> 45:37.880
But the sad part is that they're leading people to hell

45:39.620 --> 45:41.620
Right

45:41.740 --> 45:43.740
You go to

45:44.260 --> 45:49.820
You know we we did a little while there of course eventually you start recycling people because it's a small Plaza

45:49.900 --> 45:53.140
So we're like hey, where do we go next and we just went like two blocks up

45:53.540 --> 45:56.120
Right in front of a like we were just in front of a hospital

45:57.300 --> 46:03.060
on a busy street and then in Mexico it's real common to have like the street going one way and they have an

46:03.240 --> 46:07.960
Esplanade it's kind of a walkway where people set up shops and there's benches and stuff

46:07.960 --> 46:10.840
They're all waiting then you have the street and you have another like

46:11.520 --> 46:17.560
City block where people are selling stuff and it's just like it's literally just insane right go to first Corinthians 14

46:17.560 --> 46:19.560
And I thought to myself

46:21.400 --> 46:26.020
In the second location, you've got people that are waiting for like it's a cancer center

46:26.600 --> 46:28.600
and patients are just waiting around and

46:29.180 --> 46:31.180
we get to go and just talk to

46:32.000 --> 46:34.160
You know more people there that are lost

46:35.240 --> 46:36.500
and again

46:36.900 --> 46:43.460
This one was a little bit harder. I don't think that people were denying us because they were more philosophical because now we're dealing with a different demographic

46:43.700 --> 46:46.740
But I think they're just people are really like literally sick

46:47.060 --> 46:51.860
Like I was kind of like I hope I don't catch anything because everybody's wearing masks and they just look really sick

46:52.420 --> 46:56.500
But in first corinthians 14 and I might pick a verse here

46:56.900 --> 47:01.720
But the bible says fall after charity and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy

47:02.400 --> 47:07.360
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men but unto God, for no man understandeth him,

47:07.360 --> 47:10.920
howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries."

47:10.920 --> 47:16.800
And if we were to go deeper into 1 Corinthians 14, what is it about? It's about speaking in tongues.

47:16.800 --> 47:22.160
But what's the whole purpose of speaking in tongues in another language? To preach the gospel, right?

47:22.160 --> 47:26.600
The reason that I'm trying to push in the latter days is because I've been bilingual all my life,

47:26.600 --> 47:30.000
but I've not been a preacher of the word, bilingually, all my life.

47:30.300 --> 47:32.300
It wasn't until we started doing this, right?

47:32.300 --> 47:36.700
But if you're learning a language, learn it so that you can go and lead people to Christ,

47:36.700 --> 47:38.700
because there's other places that are more receptive.

47:38.700 --> 47:42.700
Like, we need to go out there, because you got this old man preaching the gospel.

47:42.700 --> 47:44.700
I don't know if he's preaching the right gospel,

47:44.700 --> 47:49.500
but the thing that he's losing is, if the sound is not making a specific sound,

47:49.500 --> 47:50.700
you're losing the battle.

47:50.700 --> 47:53.500
You got this mass here, they're just chanting stuff.

47:53.500 --> 47:56.100
Nobody knows what the hell's going on.

47:56.100 --> 47:58.260
Like all the people sitting there, they're just feeling...

47:58.300 --> 48:01.140
good they don't know if they're going to heaven or hell you got the street

48:01.140 --> 48:04.780
preacher doing the same thing like nobody else you know who knew those that

48:04.780 --> 48:08.700
we talked to because we know what we're doing we're asking people are you sure

48:08.700 --> 48:13.300
and then at the end of it I'm like hey let me just verify that what you said

48:13.300 --> 48:17.140
that you pray to is true do you believe that it's faith alone or do you believe

48:17.140 --> 48:21.060
it's faith and works or let me ask you know we verified in many different ways

48:21.060 --> 48:24.000
we're giving a specific sound

48:24.100 --> 48:27.460
and it's coming back to us specifically beautiful, right?

48:27.460 --> 48:29.460
People are getting saved.

48:29.460 --> 48:32.100
Go over to Psalm 135.

48:32.100 --> 48:34.100
So now we get to this cancer area.

48:35.000 --> 48:38.680
And it's real cool, I get to this curb and I talk to this guy, Leo Nel,

48:38.680 --> 48:42.520
I can just tell like he's from a ranch and he's telling me his life story.

48:42.520 --> 48:45.880
And then I use the example of children and it's funny he finished

48:45.880 --> 48:49.160
the salvation story for me because I'm like hey you know it's like your children,

48:49.160 --> 48:52.440
your children, your children, how long? Oh it's forever. He's like yeah,

48:52.440 --> 48:56.600
you know I just got in a big fight with my family at the ranch because my dad died

48:56.600 --> 49:00.600
and everybody's fighting for the possessions and I told them, I said it doesn't matter

49:00.600 --> 49:03.000
who gets dad's possessions, we're all his children.

49:03.000 --> 49:08.720
I said exactly you know that's exactly what it is so then like literally about a minute and a half later

49:08.720 --> 49:14.280
He got saved because I didn't have to explain anything to him. He just already understood it go to Psalm 135

49:15.120 --> 49:16.900
Let me go there as well

49:28.600 --> 49:33.600
Right there in Psalm 135 and verse 15, the Bible says,

49:35.200 --> 49:39.320
the idols of the heathen are silver and gold,

49:39.320 --> 49:40.920
the work of men's hands.

49:40.920 --> 49:43.000
They have mouths, but they speak not.

49:43.000 --> 49:45.200
Eyes have they, but they see not.

49:45.200 --> 49:47.200
They have ears, but they hear not.

49:47.200 --> 49:49.760
Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

49:49.760 --> 49:53.480
They that make them are like unto them.

49:53.480 --> 49:55.920
So is everyone that trusteth in them.

49:56.100 --> 50:00.380
Bless the Lord. Oh house of Israel. Bless the Lord. Oh house of Aaron bless the Lord

50:00.380 --> 50:03.760
Oh house of Levi that you fear the Lord bless the Lord

50:04.200 --> 50:09.680
Blessed be the Lord out of Zion which dwelleth in Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord

50:09.680 --> 50:12.880
You know what's interesting is as I'm sitting here with on now

50:12.880 --> 50:17.920
I can literally see across the street and there's this big I took a video this big

50:18.400 --> 50:25.760
Just poster like it was I maybe 15 20 feet long and I took a video and it's literally telling you about

50:26.360 --> 50:30.440
Easter number one. It never mentions Jesus. It just says that it's a Catholic tradition

50:31.400 --> 50:36.720
celebrating the Son of God, but I read it all and as you read it is telling you

50:36.720 --> 50:40.840
that the reason this is important for you to know is because it's talking

50:40.840 --> 50:44.760
about how in Mexico Easter is a very important time of year because the

50:44.760 --> 50:50.500
Catholics brought Easter but also because it's the equid... you know the

50:50.800 --> 50:54.040
the time of harvest because where the sun is sitting

50:54.040 --> 50:58.360
and you know so then the Aztecs celebrated a similar thing because

50:58.360 --> 50:59.720
they're celebrating the harvest

50:59.720 --> 51:03.600
well what they didn't say is when the Aztecs were celebrating that

51:03.600 --> 51:06.840
the way that they were doing it was by murdering people

51:06.840 --> 51:11.600
and sacrificing blood unto the gods and then if you go later it's all just this

51:11.600 --> 51:13.300
montage of pictures

51:13.400 --> 51:15.320
You know what the pictures are of?

51:15.320 --> 51:19.440
There's pictures of people wearing masks of animals or demons.

51:19.440 --> 51:24.880
There's pictures of a guy that's literally being pierced in his hands wearing a crown

51:24.880 --> 51:33.880
of thorns as they're basically going through the process of sacrificing someone to relive

51:33.880 --> 51:35.880
Jesus crucifixion.

51:35.880 --> 51:38.880
And there's another one where this guy's wearing like their, uh...

51:39.200 --> 51:44.720
like the Roman soldiers and then there's like witchcraft in there and you know it's like

51:45.280 --> 51:50.160
no wonder people are lost it's confusing if I were to look at that be like is this Halloween

51:50.160 --> 51:55.760
or what are we celebrating here it's like witchcraft with like someone getting pierced

51:55.760 --> 52:00.480
which which I don't understand how that but that's weird and you know Catholic and then

52:00.480 --> 52:02.080
you got all the Catholic priests in there

52:02.500 --> 52:04.040
But they never said it was a Catholic thing.

52:04.040 --> 52:06.380
They were just like, this is really important to our culture

52:06.380 --> 52:09.300
and our tradition all over Mexico.

52:09.300 --> 52:10.700
This is what we celebrate.

52:12.100 --> 52:14.100
And it's everywhere.

52:14.100 --> 52:16.100
And you say, what's the point?

52:16.100 --> 52:18.100
I'm just glad we got to these people.

52:18.100 --> 52:20.100
I don't wonder why people are so confused in Mexico.

52:20.100 --> 52:22.100
Nobody wants to listen to it.

52:22.100 --> 52:24.100
Like you're walking down the street and you're just reading about

52:24.100 --> 52:26.100
some pagan religion.

52:26.100 --> 52:28.100
And you're walking down the street and you see some sickle.

52:28.100 --> 52:30.100
Some guy at a restaurant was wearing

52:30.100 --> 52:32.100
I love New York.

52:32.100 --> 52:34.100
But instead of the love, you know, the heart,

52:34.100 --> 52:36.100
it was the red Russian sickle and hammer.

52:36.100 --> 52:38.100
I,

52:38.100 --> 52:39.300
communist New York.

52:39.800 --> 52:46.600
It's like every turn it's just like some some weird disgusting thing go back to uh psalm 127

52:47.720 --> 52:51.960
And the bible just becomes more evident like you're going through the bible and you're just like oh yeah

52:52.600 --> 52:54.360
Now that makes sense

52:54.360 --> 52:55.880
You know, oh

52:55.880 --> 52:57.880
psalm 127 verse 17

52:59.640 --> 53:01.640
Wait, there's no 17 is there?

53:03.400 --> 53:05.400
I might have gotten the wrong one. Let me see if I can find it

53:07.900 --> 53:13.180
Is it 137? Sorry guys. My handwriting is uh...

53:13.700 --> 53:19.380
It doesn't matter. Let's go back to Exodus. I have my handwriting is horrible this afternoon go to Exodus

53:19.380 --> 53:22.420
We know the verses but in Psalm one the one that I was going to use

53:22.820 --> 53:26.820
It was just basically more on idolatry. But guys, I mean I could have just picked anything

53:27.220 --> 53:31.300
It's all over the bible. I mean the book of jeremiah the book of isaiah, you know

53:31.300 --> 53:36.600
The book of exodus tells us that in in exodus 20 right there in verse number three

53:38.400 --> 53:40.560
It says thou shall have no other gods before me

53:41.040 --> 53:47.120
Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or this earth beneath

53:47.280 --> 53:51.280
Or this in the water under the earth thou shall now bow down thyself

53:51.920 --> 53:57.120
To them nor serve them for I the lord thy god am a jealous god visiting the iniquity of the fathers

53:57.600 --> 54:03.920
Upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. You know why mexico is the way it is

54:04.500 --> 54:12.280
Because exactly these verses because they've been worshipping idols for three four five six seven eight nine ten generations

54:13.060 --> 54:17.380
Nobody's made an impact. We came up with a slogan as we were it just kind of came naturally

54:17.380 --> 54:22.100
I'm not saying that that's the slogan but in we did the spanish podcast and I was just like one mexican at a time

54:23.060 --> 54:26.420
You know one mexican at a time. We need to change this because it's just

54:27.140 --> 54:28.200
It's just horrible

54:29.800 --> 54:36.600
Anyways, they're doing all this propaganda. Go to Joshua24 real quick. Go to Joshua24.

54:39.600 --> 54:41.760
And right there in verse number two, what does it say?

54:41.760 --> 54:45.760
And Joshua said unto all the people, thus saith the Lord God of Israel,

54:45.760 --> 54:48.480
your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood,

54:48.480 --> 54:53.440
in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nacor,

54:53.440 --> 54:57.760
and they served other gods. Why was Abraham pulled out?

54:58.300 --> 55:01.500
Because they were serving other gods go down in verse 14

55:01.900 --> 55:07.420
It says now therefore fear the lord and serve him in sincerity and in truth

55:07.820 --> 55:13.260
And put away the gods which your father served on the other side of the flood and in egypt and serve you the lord

55:13.500 --> 55:16.220
And if it seemed evil unto you to serve the lord

55:16.700 --> 55:19.340
Choose you this day whom ye will serve whether the gods

55:19.660 --> 55:25.820
Which your father served that were on the other side of the flood or the gods of the amerites in whose land ye dwell

55:26.300 --> 55:30.380
But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

55:31.580 --> 55:33.660
And it would be great if we could get this,

55:33.660 --> 55:35.100
it says in the people answered, it said,

55:35.100 --> 55:37.620
God forbid that we should forsake the Lord

55:37.620 --> 55:38.940
to serve other gods.

55:38.940 --> 55:41.180
For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us up

55:41.180 --> 55:44.960
and our fathers out of the land of Egypt

55:44.960 --> 55:46.400
from the house of bondage.

55:46.400 --> 55:53.320
And which did those great signs in our side and preserved us on the way where we went and among all the people through who we passed

55:53.400 --> 55:57.040
You know, it's interesting what happened later. This was all lip service

55:57.740 --> 56:05.060
They harken they didn't harken they heart in their hearts. And isn't that what is basically happening in Mexico in any pagan country?

56:05.600 --> 56:10.880
They follow the Catholic Church and with their mouths they claim them when their hearts they don't believe them

56:15.500 --> 56:17.500
And they're always looking for a sign.

56:17.500 --> 56:19.100
And we see this in the Old Testament.

56:19.100 --> 56:21.100
No sign's ever going to work.

56:21.900 --> 56:25.660
The Catholics have such, I mean, the Mexicans have such weird superstitions.

56:26.300 --> 56:29.340
We were in a plaza and...

56:30.700 --> 56:33.900
and they were singing the song to the Llorona.

56:33.900 --> 56:35.900
It's like this really scary song.

56:35.900 --> 56:37.900
Llorona, Llorona, Llorona.

56:37.900 --> 56:39.200
It's like kind of...

56:39.200 --> 56:43.500
And the Llorona is like this weird Mexican nationwide superstition.

56:43.500 --> 56:46.700
I grew up in the border, and I knew of the Llorona.

56:46.700 --> 56:48.700
Of this lady who lost her two children,

56:48.700 --> 56:52.000
like I guess she lost them in a river or something.

56:52.000 --> 56:54.800
And then she's condemned to just basically...

56:54.800 --> 56:58.000
The Llorona means the crying one, the crying woman.

56:58.000 --> 56:58.700
She's condemned...

56:58.700 --> 57:01.940
to crying for them as she looks for them for the rest of her life.

57:01.940 --> 57:07.060
And then there's all these superstitions that if you like splash water on the glass or something

57:07.060 --> 57:10.760
and you say her name seven times she'll just show up and be crying for them.

57:10.760 --> 57:15.420
This is what I grew up like experiencing and I always thought it was weird until then you

57:15.420 --> 57:20.320
go to Mexico City and there's a whole festival dedicated to this thing and they're like making

57:20.320 --> 57:22.380
this thing like it's a cool thing.

57:22.380 --> 57:23.460
It's just wild.

57:24.400 --> 57:33.400
So then, anyways, so Wednesday we go there, that was the only thing we did, we ate lunch, we go back, because we're going to go to church, so we go back to get cleaned up and everything.

57:33.400 --> 57:38.400
And of course the young guys didn't make, you know, they couldn't communicate well, and we got a boot.

57:38.400 --> 57:44.400
Now they call it an ariana, which is a spider, but they put a boot on the car.

57:44.400 --> 57:48.400
So that's why if you followed me on Facebook, we were in that tiny little car.

57:48.400 --> 57:49.800
so

57:50.200 --> 57:55.320
Diego I didn't know Diego met a like a young woman there and he was interested. It's fine

57:55.320 --> 58:00.300
I think it's great. So he really wanted to get to church like I'm okay. We miss like I'm not okay

58:00.300 --> 58:03.120
We miss church, but it's like an hour and a half to get to church

58:03.120 --> 58:07.040
So I'm like, well, are we gonna fix the boot? Anyways, long story short. We figured out how to fix the boot

58:07.040 --> 58:09.040
He's like, well, let's get an uber. Let's go. Let's go

58:09.260 --> 58:14.280
We get this tiny uber this things like it says it's for four people, but it was really like for two

58:14.280 --> 58:16.000
It was like horrible

58:16.200 --> 58:20.780
I was I mean it was kind of a frustrating thing because I get in the car and I sit in the middle

58:21.100 --> 58:23.520
And you know who's ever sat in the middle of these tiny cars

58:23.520 --> 58:30.100
They're not comfortable and I look at his like GPS and it says one hour and half an hour and a half minutes

58:30.100 --> 58:35.260
I'm like, I'm going to sit in this car in this position for the next hour and a half and I did

58:36.200 --> 58:40.040
But here's the cool thing, as frustrated as I was, the guy in front, his name is Matt,

58:40.040 --> 58:44.280
I told you guys about him this morning, he gives the guy the gospel and the guy gets saved.

58:44.920 --> 58:49.880
And what's really cool is, you know, I think people get saved because their experiences are

58:49.880 --> 58:56.200
different and we need to stop just preaching like this watered down, fluffy life because life is not

58:56.200 --> 59:00.760
like that outside of America. You know, we were with this guy for an hour and a half so we really

59:00.760 --> 59:02.360
got to know him. His name was Josef.

59:03.400 --> 59:12.400
And after giving him the gospel, we cleared all this up, and I helped just make sure that Matt was giving this Spanish correctly, which he didn't need my help, but he asked for it.

59:12.400 --> 59:21.400
Well, you know, now we got like a whole hour and 15 minutes still left, you know, in this car. And so I'm talking to Jose and everybody.

59:21.400 --> 59:27.300
And he's like, oh yeah, you know, I got sequestered a couple years ago while driving an Uber.

59:27.600 --> 59:32.400
He's like, I think somebody stole a phone from like a like a raided citizen and

59:33.760 --> 59:39.200
and they came in three young men and they put a gun to my my no a gun to my chest and a gun in my back

59:39.600 --> 59:42.600
and they made me sit in the back, they took my car,

59:42.600 --> 59:46.180
and they put me down on the floor, on the back seat,

59:46.180 --> 59:47.440
and every time they'd ask me a question

59:47.440 --> 59:48.360
and they didn't like the answer,

59:48.360 --> 59:49.960
they'd beat me up with a gun.

59:49.960 --> 59:51.320
They pistol whipped them.

59:51.320 --> 59:53.560
And he says, this went on for several hours.

59:53.560 --> 59:55.360
He's like, I was in the back of the car.

59:55.360 --> 59:57.600
The last time I was able to look outside,

59:57.600 --> 59:59.760
I saw where I was at, but after that,

59:59.760 --> 01:00:01.280
I kinda was disoriented.

01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:05.820
They took my credit cards and they found out how much money I had in my bank accounts

01:00:05.820 --> 01:00:10.960
And they stole all my money and they stole all my cash and they you know they they and

01:00:11.480 --> 01:00:14.640
Luckily he was like wise to them, so he's like. I don't own the car

01:00:14.640 --> 01:00:20.620
I'm just an uber driver, but they didn't believe him and then he's like they finally just took me to this like empty building

01:00:20.620 --> 01:00:24.840
And I just heard one of the young guys say hey, it's time to tie him up and kill him

01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:28.920
And he just pleaded for his life and the guy spared him

01:00:29.500 --> 01:00:34.620
And then he had to untie himself, go find his shoes that they left somewhere in his jacket.

01:00:34.620 --> 01:00:39.420
And then he ran, he said for miles until he found like some toll booth because they have a lot of

01:00:39.420 --> 01:00:44.620
tolls. And finally they got the National Guard, they did the GPS, got his car back, but everything

01:00:44.620 --> 01:00:49.980
else was lost. And he's like, so I'm just happy now to have a job. I have five grandkids, I have a

01:00:49.980 --> 01:00:55.260
wife, I have my three kids. He's like, I make 12,000 pesos a week.

01:00:55.800 --> 01:01:00.200
And I pay four thousand pesos a week on my car and he's like I work seven days a week

01:01:00.760 --> 01:01:02.760
I'll be happy once I pay off my car

01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:05.480
I'll go down to working four days a week

01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:08.780
And I just want to live a peaceful life and raise my grandchildren

01:01:09.240 --> 01:01:12.760
And all this stuff i'm just so glad that you guys gave me the gospel because now I can preach to them

01:01:13.080 --> 01:01:16.280
We show them where the church was, you know outside of our world

01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:18.500
Like life sucks

01:01:18.900 --> 01:01:25.900
You know, and today, you know, yesterday I talked about that podcast, people are all up in arms because this lady killed her babies.

01:01:25.900 --> 01:01:31.900
She should just be put to death, right? And all the women are just like, oh, you don't understand feminism, you don't understand this.

01:01:31.900 --> 01:01:34.900
You know why it's like that? Because they've never had a hard life.

01:01:34.900 --> 01:01:41.900
You know, you talk to Jose, and Jose just loves life because he's like, I was at the brink of losing it at gunpoint, twice.

01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:44.500
you know, in this endeavor.

01:01:44.500 --> 01:01:47.000
And then after that, he proceeds to tell me

01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:49.940
that he lost his car, and it takes him like three months

01:01:49.940 --> 01:01:52.740
and like 80,000 pesos to get his car back.

01:01:52.740 --> 01:01:55.080
So in the meantime, he has to provide for his family.

01:01:55.080 --> 01:01:58.060
So he ends up going with like a competitor to Uber,

01:01:58.060 --> 01:02:01.260
and they pay him like 1 third of what he was making.

01:02:01.260 --> 01:02:03.820
And then when he gets to, he meets all the quotas,

01:02:03.820 --> 01:02:06.460
and they're like, oh, we can't pay you that because, you know,

01:02:06.460 --> 01:02:08.620
you've only been with us three months.

01:02:08.620 --> 01:02:09.260
It's just like.

01:02:09.800 --> 01:02:13.420
If you're not getting screwed this way, you're getting screwed the other way.

01:02:13.420 --> 01:02:14.420
This is Mexico for you.

01:02:14.420 --> 01:02:18.940
And then so anyways, we get to church and the church service is good.

01:02:18.940 --> 01:02:21.920
The other thing I want to point out is we shouldn't just think we're the only ones doing

01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:22.920
good work.

01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:25.540
We need to remind ourselves that there's other people doing good work.

01:02:25.540 --> 01:02:30.140
The only lesson I've never heard described like this, I really like what the pastor said.

01:02:30.140 --> 01:02:31.380
He was talking about envy.

01:02:31.700 --> 01:02:36.020
And he said envy is not idolatry, right? Or like, I'm sorry, covetousness.

01:02:36.020 --> 01:02:39.460
Like when you covet something, it's because you want somebody else's stuff.

01:02:39.460 --> 01:02:43.380
But he gave a really good definition. He said envy is when you want the,

01:02:43.380 --> 01:02:47.140
when the other person has what you have, but you don't even want them to have it.

01:02:47.600 --> 01:02:51.640
It's not just that you want their stuff. He's like you don't want them to enjoy their life

01:02:51.640 --> 01:02:55.000
You don't want them to have it you want them destroyed. I was like that's a good lesson

01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:58.640
I mean you got preached a really good servant. I mean he's calling these guys out

01:02:58.640 --> 01:03:02.760
Hey, there's still some hard preaching in Mexico this guy got up there, and he's like hey

01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:06.920
I know I know how you are you adulterers and you fornicators

01:03:07.040 --> 01:03:08.140
You're with your wife

01:03:08.140 --> 01:03:12.220
And you won't even buy her anything nice and you have one cell phone for your wife

01:03:12.220 --> 01:03:15.000
And then you have the other cell phone for your lover

01:03:16.000 --> 01:03:18.480
And he's like, you spent all your money on your lover,

01:03:18.480 --> 01:03:20.120
but you won't spend it on your wife.

01:03:20.120 --> 01:03:22.360
I mean, I was like, that's great preaching.

01:03:22.360 --> 01:03:24.880
And some guy in the back is like, big on all.

01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:26.720
You know, like, preach it, but in Spanish.

01:03:26.720 --> 01:03:29.100
And he's like, and I was like, this is great.

01:03:29.700 --> 01:03:34.700
Now was it a perfect sermon? You know it's not exactly how we would preach it or what I would think is great.

01:03:34.700 --> 01:03:38.700
I hate people are still and everybody's dressed conservatively.

01:03:38.700 --> 01:03:42.700
You know there's seven there's like three thousand people in the auditorium.

01:03:42.700 --> 01:03:45.700
They're all in suits and dresses women look like women men look like men.

01:03:45.700 --> 01:03:47.700
Like it's a great experience.

01:03:48.600 --> 01:03:52.200
So I'm just going to start wrapping this up because afterwards it gets kind of like quick.

01:03:52.200 --> 01:03:55.160
But go to Matthew 5. Go to Matthew 5. I just want to give you...

01:03:55.160 --> 01:03:58.360
And the reason I'm saying all this in minute detail is because number one,

01:04:00.600 --> 01:04:03.800
I want to get the point across. This is the most important thing. I think I've made that point.

01:04:03.800 --> 01:04:08.700
But number two, hey, you want to get out of the monotony of what you're doing?

01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:14.640
Change it up a little bit. It's it's nice to have these experiences, you know today with tik tok you got all these young people

01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:20.960
Making all these uh, like basically blogs. It's not just tik tok. I think that's the most popular

01:04:21.600 --> 01:04:28.660
Platform for young people but and I could be wrong but facebook instagram youtube people go all over the world just to get experiences

01:04:29.600 --> 01:04:35.760
And they're building millions of views of them traveling and doing all this. Hey, you want to get experiences go soul winning

01:04:36.160 --> 01:04:36.800
That's the best

01:04:36.800 --> 01:04:42.680
experience and you still get the exact same adrenaline rush, the same endorphin rush.

01:04:42.680 --> 01:04:46.640
I'm a 46, I felt it, but I didn't feel it until everything ended.

01:04:46.640 --> 01:04:50.480
But if you're young and you can do it, go do it now.

01:04:50.480 --> 01:04:52.480
Don't waste your life doing anything stupid.

01:04:52.480 --> 01:04:55.840
I think it's cool to come back and just be able to tell all these cool stories.

01:04:55.840 --> 01:04:57.120
Nobody can ever take it away.

01:04:57.120 --> 01:04:58.960
But also, we have all these people that got saved.

01:04:59.600 --> 01:05:05.440
Whereas other people that have cool stories to tell they're just worldly and then if they die they're going to hell

01:05:05.600 --> 01:05:07.440
They can't take those cool stories with them

01:05:07.440 --> 01:05:12.360
They just be wishing that they would have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ you go to Matthew 5 where I have returned

01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:20.200
3 the Bible says blessed are the poor in spirit for the kingdom for theirs is the kingdom of heaven

01:05:21.040 --> 01:05:23.260
You know, it's interesting is so Thursday

01:05:23.880 --> 01:05:26.560
That guy David's like hey, you're gonna meet us at this park

01:05:27.300 --> 01:05:31.700
and we got there before him, we get to this park, it's called the Deportivo Santa Cruz,

01:05:32.340 --> 01:05:37.460
and I don't know, immediately the guard looked at us. And you know, being, like I do have that

01:05:37.460 --> 01:05:40.740
culture, I kind of noticed that that was weird because they're just usually standing there.

01:05:41.300 --> 01:05:45.300
And I thought that's strange that he's just like, he kind of almost came to us, but we kept walking.

01:05:46.020 --> 01:05:50.260
Of course, Matt gets to work and on the walkie talkies, they're already talking and they're

01:05:50.260 --> 01:05:52.660
like, you can't preach, you can't do any religious stuff here.

01:05:53.200 --> 01:05:58.260
They kicked us out. Like, I mean within five minutes we were out of that park. So David come like dude

01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:03.500
We got kicked out. What are you doing? You bringing us this place? Like I'm just joking. He's like, oh we come here all the time

01:06:03.500 --> 01:06:08.720
We've never been kicked out. So we might have said so then I I kind of call named as the Baptist Avengers

01:06:08.720 --> 01:06:09.960
We must have looked so different right?

01:06:09.960 --> 01:06:14.060
you had the big tall white guy and the other white guy the two little Mexicans and the

01:06:14.600 --> 01:06:19.420
The half Mexican lady with us is just we must have looked like we must have stood out really bad

01:06:19.420 --> 01:06:22.780
But we go down to this thing called parque linea Vicente Guerrero

01:06:22.820 --> 01:06:26.740
This is why I think I got the swollen leg because we walk this is not

01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:32.520
park but it's set up like a park it's it's an esplanade but it's not your

01:06:32.520 --> 01:06:38.040
typical esplanade like the one we have right here this thing's probably

01:06:41.000 --> 01:06:46.200
100 feet wide and it's a run like it's a running track. It's a park

01:06:47.040 --> 01:06:52.480
It's a workout center. They have like pull-up bars and all that stuff. They have a mini soccer field

01:06:52.760 --> 01:06:57.320
They have a basketball field. They just have like people boxing

01:06:57.480 --> 01:07:03.320
They have a karate thing like people are doing this is like for exercise, but it's four miles. It's it's like maybe three miles long

01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:07.680
In the middle of all this fast traffic on the road, but it's on a higher scale,

01:07:07.680 --> 01:07:12.480
you actually have to get on one of those bridges where you have to walk up and cross over.

01:07:13.040 --> 01:07:15.440
Because you can't just cross the traffic, it's so bad.

01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:20.160
And we go there and that's where we actually start getting some really good soul winning.

01:07:20.160 --> 01:07:24.080
People are really receptive. Of course, people are exercising and they want to listen to you.

01:07:24.640 --> 01:07:30.320
And then in between there, go over to... Where was I going to have you go?

01:07:30.900 --> 01:07:34.580
Go over to Exodus 20 back again. Sorry. I should have had you stay there

01:07:35.340 --> 01:07:37.100
Can exit is 20?

01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:47.700
But in the meantime, all of a sudden I hear David calling somebody and he's like,

01:07:47.700 --> 01:07:49.200
oh, are you sure we can go?

01:07:49.200 --> 01:07:50.040
Can you make it happen?

01:07:50.040 --> 01:07:51.000
I got these people.

01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:55.100
And so I'm listening to this thing and I'm understanding that whatever plan he had for us,

01:07:55.360 --> 01:07:56.160
it's not working out.

01:07:56.840 --> 01:08:00.940
He was trying to set up this like, which is the school that I preached at or the,

01:08:01.060 --> 01:08:03.580
they call it the school, but it's really at a park with a bunch of people.

01:08:04.380 --> 01:08:06.720
But apparently the government got involved and they were supposed

01:08:06.720 --> 01:08:08.880
to have some feminist speech there.

01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:11.200
And so they weren't letting us come in here.

01:08:11.200 --> 01:08:12.880
And he's like, it's weird.

01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:14.460
We do this three times a week.

01:08:14.460 --> 01:08:15.560
We've never had this issue.

01:08:15.560 --> 01:08:17.160
But now all of a sudden, we're hearing

01:08:17.160 --> 01:08:19.400
that the government's going to come do this.

01:08:19.400 --> 01:08:21.960
He's like, but they're telling me that it's like an 80%,

01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:23.480
90% sure thing.

01:08:23.480 --> 01:08:25.760
And I'm like, Diego, you're the leader.

01:08:25.760 --> 01:08:26.000
Thanks for watching!

01:08:26.500 --> 01:08:31.380
You know, you're gonna do whatever I'm gonna follow you but it sounds kind of like this might not be the thing to do

01:08:31.620 --> 01:08:34.740
Like I actually had a really bad because i'm like we're gonna get in this car

01:08:34.820 --> 01:08:36.900
We're gonna go an hour and a half to this thing

01:08:37.060 --> 01:08:40.580
We might not even get to preach to anybody and then we're gonna get in the car and come back all the way over here

01:08:40.660 --> 01:08:44.340
After lunch like it's four hours out of the day lost but it turns out we go

01:08:45.380 --> 01:08:50.040
To the little school or whatever and we get to preach this big group and it's great

01:08:50.600 --> 01:08:55.240
This is where I think we should have spent all our time. We're like in the ghetto neighborhood. Now we're in the ghetto ghetto

01:08:55.640 --> 01:08:58.760
You know how you're in the ghetto when you see like 25 dogs in the dog pack, right?

01:08:58.760 --> 01:09:01.640
Like we were in the ghetto matt started playing with a guy

01:09:01.720 --> 01:09:05.480
I got i'm getting ahead of myself a little bit but he started playing soccer with one of the young guys

01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:10.120
And guess what this big dog like this massive dog just comes and starts playing with them, too

01:09:10.360 --> 01:09:13.800
Like that's how ghetto it was like we're in the ghetto but

01:09:14.400 --> 01:09:19.480
The thing that really stood out to me is I want to just kind of point out the differences and some of the

01:09:19.680 --> 01:09:24.940
Commonalities that we have with other Baptists, but here's the most important thing. They're all so many so number one

01:09:24.940 --> 01:09:30.140
I mean, I'm preaching I get to preach to this group, but the way they do it is of course very Mexican style

01:09:30.220 --> 01:09:32.960
they bring in a clown and they kind of

01:09:33.220 --> 01:09:39.140
Do a clown show for them and then they bring in a raffling thing and they give away stuff and they have like a

01:09:39.700 --> 01:09:44.820
What is it a bubble bath thing for the kids in between all of that is the preaching?

01:09:44.820 --> 01:09:49.640
So I got to give the gospel but what was really cool is the way we set it up is while they're doing this

01:09:50.180 --> 01:09:53.280
Everybody else was going around the corners talking to all the parents

01:09:53.620 --> 01:09:56.780
So we got a bunch of souls one there and I think if we would have spent more time

01:09:57.080 --> 01:09:59.080
We probably would have done that

01:09:59.620 --> 01:10:01.400
We would have done really well there

01:10:01.400 --> 01:10:05.560
But we already had all the other plans and it still worked out, but that was a really cool thing.

01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:09.400
But the difference is, is like that's why it's so important for us and this is why it's so important

01:10:09.400 --> 01:10:15.640
my testimony. Like I think we need more of our people going out there because I'm not negating.

01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:20.040
I know people are getting saved with that church because we checked some people's salvation. Some

01:10:20.040 --> 01:10:23.560
of them needed to get saved. Some of them already had the salvation. The problem is

01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:28.680
they give this general gospel and then they don't go and check everybody.

01:10:29.400 --> 01:10:30.400
And that's the difference.

01:10:30.400 --> 01:10:33.400
Like, we didn't count any numbers unless we checked them.

01:10:33.400 --> 01:10:37.240
You know, in there I checked three people and they got saved and Matt did whatever and

01:10:37.240 --> 01:10:38.640
I don't remember who.

01:10:38.640 --> 01:10:44.160
And so they make like this fun entertainment mixed in with the gospel where we just want

01:10:44.160 --> 01:10:46.160
to preach them the gospel.

01:10:46.160 --> 01:10:47.160
Right?

01:10:47.160 --> 01:10:49.520
Where, you know, if we can do all the fun stuff afterwards, we'd do it, but what would

01:10:49.520 --> 01:10:50.500
we do first?

01:10:50.500 --> 01:10:56.180
Preach a general one and then just send out the armies and if I wish we would have had I think we could have just checked

01:10:56.180 --> 01:11:00.860
Everybody because it was a hundred people if we would have just had like five ten fifty more people

01:11:00.860 --> 01:11:05.220
We would have been able to check everybody and then you know our job would have been just that much more thorough

01:11:05.580 --> 01:11:08.460
and so, you know, those are the things that just kind of stand out to me and

01:11:09.980 --> 01:11:12.220
That that I think is really important

01:11:12.220 --> 01:11:17.100
But the reason I had to turn on Exodus 20 is here's another thing that just stood out and I'll wrap this thing up

01:11:18.400 --> 01:11:23.280
Because my wife did tell me since I didn't have notes to wrap it up quick here in my mind because I do ramble long

01:11:23.520 --> 01:11:25.520
So if i've gone along just tell me to shut up

01:11:25.840 --> 01:11:28.100
Uh, where is the uh, let me see it

01:11:34.600 --> 01:11:36.440
There it is, verse 12.

01:11:36.440 --> 01:11:38.480
Honor thy father and thy mother,

01:11:38.480 --> 01:11:40.400
that thy days may belong upon the land

01:11:40.400 --> 01:11:44.040
which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

01:11:44.040 --> 01:11:46.720
David was telling me that there's another state down south

01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:50.420
where there's little towns that don't have actual laws.

01:11:50.420 --> 01:11:53.840
They have what's called customs and uses.

01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:55.000
Like they're just.

01:11:55.100 --> 01:11:58.140
so small that they've never set up a Truman municipality,

01:11:58.140 --> 01:12:02.060
but based on the customs of that town, that's the law.

01:12:02.060 --> 01:12:03.820
And they actually have police.

01:12:03.820 --> 01:12:08.620
And that in those towns, the children, the adult children,

01:12:08.620 --> 01:12:13.220
have to go check on their adult parents on a regular basis.

01:12:13.220 --> 01:12:16.060
And the police knows if you're doing this or not.

01:12:16.060 --> 01:12:19.540
And if you don't do it, you get thrown in jail, or you get fined.

01:12:20.700 --> 01:12:34.700
That really is the biggest difference between Mexico and the US probably is that they still have some of the customs, the family values that we're just throwing in the trash.

01:12:34.700 --> 01:12:39.500
The problem is you can have all the morality but without Christ you're going to lose that battle.

01:12:39.700 --> 01:12:44.660
But can you imagine if we just go to those small towns and then now preach the right gospel and then enforce that?

01:12:45.060 --> 01:12:49.060
That generation will be more effective down the road and down the road and down the road

01:12:50.020 --> 01:12:55.700
You know, what's our fight now that pastor anderson might have or might have not abused, you know children that we

01:12:56.500 --> 01:13:00.420
You know, I got more comments just recently. How can I support an abuser?

01:13:00.580 --> 01:13:03.720
How about the fact that we're supposed to honor our fathers and our mothers?

01:13:04.200 --> 01:13:10.200
That's why I didn't tell my dad I was going to Mexico, because I didn't want to dishonor him because I knew he was going to get pissed off.

01:13:10.200 --> 01:13:12.200
But I had to honor my Heavenly Father better, right?

01:13:12.200 --> 01:13:16.200
But I still didn't want to piss him off. I was just trying to try it lightly.

01:13:16.200 --> 01:13:20.200
So we just need to be careful with those things.

01:13:20.200 --> 01:13:26.200
There are some commonalities. Whenever you have the commonality of the Gospel, it's just soul-winding.

01:13:26.200 --> 01:13:27.560
I think it's okay to just...

01:13:27.800 --> 01:13:32.040
team up with some people, but always remember why we're different and we just need to emphasize

01:13:32.040 --> 01:13:36.840
our differences to ourselves, right? Like we just didn't let them kind of suck us into their the

01:13:36.840 --> 01:13:40.760
way they evangelize. We just did our thing. We went there. We're like, hey, we're grateful you put us

01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:45.080
in front of people. We're still going to go check everybody, right? We don't ask permission. We just

01:13:45.080 --> 01:13:49.160
get the job done. And then just to close this out, because the last day was pretty easy, but

01:13:50.840 --> 01:13:55.240
on the last day, Friday, we went down to the big park.

01:13:55.800 --> 01:13:57.800
down by the castle and everything.

01:13:57.800 --> 01:13:58.800
And I'm just going to close with this.

01:13:58.800 --> 01:14:00.800
Go to 2nd Peter 7th.

01:14:02.800 --> 01:14:04.800
We ended where we started.

01:14:04.800 --> 01:14:07.800
It was just kind of like a crazy experience.

01:14:07.800 --> 01:14:09.800
Let me go to 2nd Peter.

01:14:17.100 --> 01:14:24.600
2nd Peter 2 right there in verse 7 the Bible says and they deliver just lot vexed with

01:14:24.600 --> 01:14:29.700
the filthy conversation of the wicked for that that righteous man dwelling among them

01:14:29.700 --> 01:14:34.460
in seeing and hearing vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds.

01:14:34.460 --> 01:14:38.720
If I go back to Mexico I'm going to find places that are not in the heart of the city because

01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:40.200
my soul was vexed.

01:14:40.200 --> 01:14:41.880
It was pretty rough.

01:14:41.880 --> 01:14:43.240
We go to this park.

01:14:43.700 --> 01:14:46.180
and there's literally like 300 cops.

01:14:46.740 --> 01:14:48.500
You ever seen those, those uh,

01:14:48.500 --> 01:14:51.340
like those cartoons where you hear the soldiers

01:14:51.340 --> 01:14:52.540
kk kk kk kk

01:14:52.540 --> 01:14:53.040
and they're c-

01:14:53.040 --> 01:14:54.540
That's literally what they were doing.

01:14:55.540 --> 01:14:57.640
And I was like, I got to talk to two of the cops.

01:14:58.040 --> 01:14:59.300
Female cops, by the way.

01:15:00.480 --> 01:15:01.680
Severely out of shape.

01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:02.380
Just,

01:15:02.840 --> 01:15:06.040
I'm just telling you because I didn't feel very safe with all those female cops.

01:15:06.540 --> 01:15:07.640
And I was like, what's going on?

01:15:07.640 --> 01:15:10.700
And they're like, oh, well there's a feminist, uh, protest.

01:15:11.700 --> 01:15:17.140
Didn't and it's not like the protest here. You know what they do they set up all these little shops

01:15:22.300 --> 01:15:27.020
Propaganda like some lady was giving out tarot cards like reading your life

01:15:27.660 --> 01:15:32.980
Feministically wise I don't know and it was like feminist everywhere dykes everywhere. This is like

01:15:34.180 --> 01:15:35.700
philosophers everywhere

01:15:36.200 --> 01:15:38.200
It was like I was vexed.

01:15:38.200 --> 01:15:39.600
But you know what was also there?

01:15:39.600 --> 01:15:41.680
Just a lot of sincere lost people.

01:15:41.680 --> 01:15:42.800
A lot of confused people.

01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:46.120
I led one guy to the Lord that said

01:15:46.120 --> 01:15:47.800
he was an evangelist like me.

01:15:47.800 --> 01:15:48.720
I was like, oh, you are.

01:15:48.720 --> 01:15:49.800
That's great.

01:15:49.800 --> 01:15:51.120
And then I had to ask him, and he

01:15:51.120 --> 01:15:53.080
thought it was all by works.

01:15:53.080 --> 01:15:55.360
Then I ran into a brother and sister couple.

01:15:55.360 --> 01:15:56.880
And I said, hey, have you ever thought about going home?

01:15:56.880 --> 01:15:57.840
They're like, no, we never thought.

01:15:57.840 --> 01:15:58.880
I was like, well, would you like to know?

01:15:58.880 --> 01:16:00.640
They're like, yeah, it's kind of interesting.

01:16:00.640 --> 01:16:01.640
I could tell they were hesitant.

01:16:01.640 --> 01:16:02.400
I said, look.

01:16:02.800 --> 01:16:07.800
Came all the way from another country to be here with you. You don't know and you thought about it

01:16:08.360 --> 01:16:15.760
But God only gives you so many opportunities and they got saved but in between all that like I'm walking and walking this big park

01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:21.200
And unfortunately like when you're walking a big park and there's people everywhere you kind of your eyes just scan the whole area

01:16:21.200 --> 01:16:25.640
And so I ended up scanning stuff that I didn't want to see you know a lot of like

01:16:26.120 --> 01:16:29.240
open displays of affection of the wrong kind like

01:16:29.700 --> 01:16:33.940
That's Mexico City for you. It's the weirdest, craziest thing.

01:16:33.940 --> 01:16:40.340
Go to 1 Timothy 5 verse 14. Go to 1 Timothy 5 and we'll close this out.

01:16:52.300 --> 01:16:57.660
Is there a first timothy five or did i mean second timothy i might have met second oh no there is i'm just

01:17:00.500 --> 01:17:06.820
It says, I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house,

01:17:06.820 --> 01:17:11.660
give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully for some are already turned

01:17:11.660 --> 01:17:13.380
aside after Satan.

01:17:13.380 --> 01:17:18.540
You know the one thing that stood out to me about Mexico that I didn't realize and this

01:17:18.540 --> 01:17:22.740
is why I think it would be important for us to preach is number one, there's not a lot

01:17:22.740 --> 01:17:24.600
of even the...

01:17:24.700 --> 01:17:31.400
Even the young man David was like, there's not a lot of good content and good training, biblical training in Spanish.

01:17:31.400 --> 01:17:34.800
He's like, I'm having to learn English just so I can get good, good information.

01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:36.800
And I've mentioned this before.

01:17:36.800 --> 01:17:43.000
But the other thing that stood out to me was just how bad feminism is in Mexico.

01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:45.200
The women are working everywhere.

01:17:45.200 --> 01:17:49.600
But the biggest working area was the women cops.

01:17:49.600 --> 01:17:51.300
And you got two types of cops.

01:17:51.300 --> 01:17:52.580
You got the young...

01:17:53.100 --> 01:17:58.020
They're all young but you got the young good-looking woman who's wearing all the tight stuff and I'm thinking to myself

01:17:58.200 --> 01:18:01.020
How is that helpful for the police force?

01:18:01.020 --> 01:18:04.780
Because there's also men and men are only attracted to one thing

01:18:04.780 --> 01:18:08.980
Especially if they're immoral and so this young lady is dressed inappropriately

01:18:08.980 --> 01:18:11.980
How is he gonna be helpful if he's distracted by this?

01:18:12.040 --> 01:18:17.320
right then the other one is all the other women were just like these fat dykes like

01:18:17.900 --> 01:18:22.460
two, three hundred pound dykes, and they admitted to me, I talked to one of them and I said,

01:18:22.460 --> 01:18:23.460
oh, you know, how's the protest?

01:18:23.460 --> 01:18:26.100
She's like, oh, it's a peaceful protest.

01:18:26.100 --> 01:18:30.020
So we can't, you know, even if they spit at us or tell us off, we can't hit them.

01:18:30.020 --> 01:18:31.500
I said, but you want to hit them, don't you?

01:18:31.500 --> 01:18:33.900
She's like, yeah, like I want to.

01:18:33.900 --> 01:18:35.700
You know, she's like mean.

01:18:35.700 --> 01:18:40.680
She basically, she wasn't mean to me because I'm like no threat, but they're just mean.

01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:42.680
And so in finality.

01:18:44.800 --> 01:18:50.000
It's kind of wild. It was a great experience. If I do it again, which I do plan on doing it,

01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:53.680
you know, I'm just going to plan it a little bit better, you know, with it. We're still learning

01:18:53.680 --> 01:18:58.400
now. I have nothing. It's just the things that we learned from. I'm not the experience was great,

01:18:58.400 --> 01:19:00.880
but the biggest thing is that

01:19:01.400 --> 01:19:04.400
God says in Matthew 9, he says,

01:19:04.400 --> 01:19:06.400
pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest

01:19:06.400 --> 01:19:08.400
that he will send forth labors into the harvest.

01:19:08.400 --> 01:19:09.400
We know the verses.

01:19:09.400 --> 01:19:11.400
He says, go ye into all the world.

01:19:11.400 --> 01:19:13.400
And the reality is, you know, my prayer,

01:19:13.400 --> 01:19:15.400
my next prayer for our church is,

01:19:15.400 --> 01:19:17.400
number one, I want it soul winners.

01:19:17.400 --> 01:19:18.400
That's why we got them.

01:19:18.400 --> 01:19:21.400
But number two, I want to train up the next generation

01:19:21.400 --> 01:19:23.400
and I want us to go out there and do more.

01:19:23.400 --> 01:19:25.400
You know, I love going out, but I don't want to be

01:19:25.400 --> 01:19:27.300
the only representative of Spring Crest.

01:19:27.500 --> 01:19:30.140
If we can get more people to go do this stuff.

01:19:30.140 --> 01:19:34.060
And I know we can be effective here,

01:19:34.060 --> 01:19:35.380
but God sends us, number one.

01:19:35.380 --> 01:19:39.060
But number two, it just makes you better at the soul winning.

01:19:39.060 --> 01:19:41.900
You need all these experiences to just run into all this stuff.

01:19:41.900 --> 01:19:45.860
I know I'm just looking at you, but Brother Jerry

01:19:45.860 --> 01:19:48.180
takes his kids all over the country soul winning.

01:19:48.180 --> 01:19:50.180
I think they're good soul winners because they just

01:19:50.180 --> 01:19:52.060
run into so many experiences.

01:19:52.060 --> 01:19:55.340
Because the culture is different in Louisiana than it is here.

01:19:55.600 --> 01:19:58.040
Actually, the culture is different here than it is in Dallas.

01:19:58.600 --> 01:20:04.800
If we go sowing in in Hempstead, because I've been sowing in Hempstead, it's way different than it is here.

01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:07.400
We just go down to the valley, so we just need to do more of that.

01:20:07.400 --> 01:20:12.800
And you know, my prayer is that next time it would be other testimonies and other members,

01:20:12.800 --> 01:20:14.600
and then we would just have a greater harvest.

01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:15.600
Let's close in order of prayer.

01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:17.600
Heavenly Father, Lord, thank you so much for today.

01:20:17.600 --> 01:20:18.800
Thank you for your blessings.

01:20:18.800 --> 01:20:20.400
Lord, and just thank you for the opportunity.

01:20:20.400 --> 01:20:22.800
I know this was, today was kind of different type of service,

01:20:22.800 --> 01:20:26.600
but you know, it's good to just change it up every once in a while, especially since...

01:20:26.600 --> 01:20:32.060
You know, they have to listen to the sound my voice every week. So I appreciate their patience, but more importantly Lord

01:20:32.060 --> 01:20:34.060
I just pray that they take away

01:20:34.700 --> 01:20:40.960
The main messages which is so winning is the thing and it's the way that you've prescribed it two by two

01:20:41.720 --> 01:20:47.500
To our city to our region to the rest of the country and to the rest of the world the Lord

01:20:47.500 --> 01:20:53.920
Thank you for the opportunities you've given us Lord bless all the efforts bless all the people here and watch out for us the rest

01:20:53.920 --> 01:20:54.600
of the week

01:20:54.700 --> 01:20:57.700
Just give us a great rest of the Sunday and Jesus they would pray. Amen.

01:20:58.900 --> 01:21:00.900
Let's turn our hand of the Lord page 240

01:21:07.600 --> 01:21:08.800
The lily of the valley.

01:21:14.900 --> 01:21:17.700
Hey children, sing loud because my voice is going bad.

01:21:20.500 --> 01:21:21.500
240.

01:21:27.000 --> 01:21:31.900
I have found a friend in Jesus, he's everything to me

01:21:31.900 --> 01:21:36.500
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul

01:21:36.500 --> 01:21:41.200
The lily of the valley, in him alone I see

01:21:41.200 --> 01:21:45.800
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole

01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:50.500
In sorrow he's my comfort, in trouble he's my stay

01:21:50.500 --> 01:21:54.800
He tells me every care on him to roll

01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:59.560
He's the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star.

01:21:59.560 --> 01:22:03.400
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

01:22:04.100 --> 01:22:12.020
He all my griefs has taken and all my sorrows born in temptation. He's my strong and mighty tower

01:22:13.460 --> 01:22:21.060
I have all for him forsaken and all my idols tore from my heart and now he keeps me by his power

01:22:22.340 --> 01:22:29.860
Though all the world forsake me insane and tempt me sore through Jesus. I will safely reach the goal

01:22:31.140 --> 01:22:32.100
He's the

01:22:32.100 --> 01:22:35.860
of the valley, the bright and morning star.

01:22:35.860 --> 01:22:40.420
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

01:22:40.420 --> 01:22:45.140
He will never, never leave me nor yet forsake me here,

01:22:45.140 --> 01:22:49.200
while I live my faith into his blessed will.

01:22:49.400 --> 01:22:53.880
Oh wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear

01:22:53.880 --> 01:22:58.280
With his manna he my lumbre social fill

01:22:58.280 --> 01:23:02.840
Then sweeping up to glory and see his blessed face

01:23:02.840 --> 01:23:07.160
Where rivers are delightful ever flow

01:23:07.160 --> 01:23:11.720
He's the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star

01:23:11.720 --> 01:23:15.640
He's the fairest of ten thousands to my soul

01:23:16.500 --> 01:23:17.700
Words missed.

01:23:19.900 --> 01:23:20.700
I don't know what was that.
