[SPEAKER_00]: If you're ever in the area, we'd love to have you visit us in person.
[SPEAKER_00]: Our church is located at three ten Randolph Road in Claycoma, Missouri.
[SPEAKER_00]: Come grow with us as we open God's word and discover truth for life.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't forget, also, if you're aren't unable to attend the live, we do live stream archer races over on YouTube to serve for a moment of truth, while we'll have to search on YouTube to watch us live, and we of course, podcast these every week.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, let's join Pastor Philip for today's message.
[SPEAKER_01]: Chapter four, verse thirteen, and if you could please stand on the reading of God's Word, it says, I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me.
[SPEAKER_01]: God bless and honor the reading of His Word, and you may be seated.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I believe we got that figured out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes you never know what's going to happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jerry Seagull and Jill Schuster for two young, Jewish young men actually.
[SPEAKER_01]: In the nineteen, twenty's of thirties and they became very good friends in the nineteen thirties and started writing together and they created many different little characters but one of a particular stuck.
[SPEAKER_01]: And as a wrote different things and created different things, in nineteen thirty eight, they created a character that would change things.
[SPEAKER_01]: And would stick, it would become a comic book character and change comic history in his name, the character name.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure you'll be surprised his name was Superman.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Superman was based on several characters and people in real life.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jill Schuster,
[SPEAKER_01]: Excuse me, Jerry Seagall, I'm gonna say, had lost his father from thieves just a couple years before.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he wanted to write this down.
[SPEAKER_01]: He kind of almost living through this character they created.
[SPEAKER_01]: So when there are thieves and all that would come and attack, he would want to kind of live our characters through this character.
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is why, if you ever saw a picture of the creator, you would see that he looks similar to the original part hint.
[SPEAKER_01]: drawings, and oh no, I just gave away the secret identity.
[SPEAKER_01]: But either way, the original Clark Kent drawings look very similar to Jerry Seagull saying type of glasses at all, because he wished he could go back in time and save his father.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think there's very touching.
[SPEAKER_01]: And but in your way, that's what happened.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so they based off of quite a few people and you'll see a different list all the time of different characters and things.
[SPEAKER_01]: They based off of an old actor named Douglas Fairbanks.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure you've heard him.
[SPEAKER_01]: They based off of Hugo Danner.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure you liked that last name.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hugo Danner, which is a character from gladiator novel.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they based off Hercules.
[SPEAKER_01]: They also based off of a couple others, two Bible.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not gonna say characters.
[SPEAKER_01]: People did all the time from that Bible character, you know.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the problem with calling Bible characters.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you call them characters.
[SPEAKER_01]: You take away the reality of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's too Bible historical people that they base Superman off of.
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember, these are Jewish young men.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're from Judaism.
[SPEAKER_01]: I pray and hope that they were converted Jews.
[SPEAKER_01]: By the time they left this world, I don't know that.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I won't say they work because I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: But they were based off the childhood at least of Superman, which based off of Moses.
[SPEAKER_01]: When Moses was in the little bastard boat, we call it.
[SPEAKER_01]: That part of Superman's life was based off that.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then one other character, Samson, which we're going to get to in a moment.
[SPEAKER_01]: Samson, there's a lot of things of Superman are based off that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jerry and Joe were Jewish and in years later in the seventies people were trying to add another biblical person to the Superman for a and that was Jesus people try to add Jesus to it but they were a lot of times try to add Jesus to the Superman for a and they try to say that that Superman was like Jesus Jesus like Superman that's not really true stuff the way he's created
[SPEAKER_01]: But we can see similarities to the way people do it as far as a savior, someone who's supernatural superior.
[SPEAKER_01]: We can understand that.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's usually people who do not know what they're talking about.
[SPEAKER_01]: But that being said, the original inspiration was not him.
[SPEAKER_01]: In the old cartoons of the nineteen forties and the nineteen fifty TV show, there was a line.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's several lines that you should be said.
[SPEAKER_01]: But one of the lines you would often hear is, this looks like a job for Superman.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the title today's sermon is, this looks like a job for, and it starts with an S and it goes on and on.
[SPEAKER_01]: What does that mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, your pastor's going to explain to you because it's going to change throughout the sermon.
[SPEAKER_01]: This looks like a job for something that starts with an S. So let's now turn to the butte judges.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at judges chapter thirteen through sixteen and we're not going to read through it all but we're going to go through some of it as we're going to talk about Samson and chapter thirteen we hear about the birth of Samson and I'm not going to read all that because this is too much but we hear about the birth of Samson and this is how it starts it says again the children of Israel did evil in the side of the Lord and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years boy we hear that a lot
[SPEAKER_01]: in the book of judges, don't we?
[SPEAKER_01]: And as a person, I was never going to say it's a Christian person, but no, as a person.
[SPEAKER_01]: We are so bad about saying, oh, they did bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: They did it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they did.
[SPEAKER_01]: But isn't it something that we do the same?
[SPEAKER_01]: We do the same.
[SPEAKER_01]: We get out of God's will.
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, we send, and again, we send, and again, we send.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're so good at looking at others and saying, they shouldn't have done that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, folks, they should be.
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, God allows us, we have the free will.
[SPEAKER_01]: God allowed Egypt to choose what they did.
[SPEAKER_01]: God allowed Israel to do what they did.
[SPEAKER_01]: God allowed Judas to do what he did.
[SPEAKER_01]: God allows you to do what you do.
[SPEAKER_01]: But we either gonna be obedient or not.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the children of Israel decided to be disobedient again for forty years they'd be under the Philistines.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so we hear a man by the name of Manoa.
[SPEAKER_01]: Manoa.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's an interesting name.
[SPEAKER_01]: Manoa.
[SPEAKER_01]: And his wife was bare and it could have no children.
[SPEAKER_01]: So an angel came.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, when you've read this in the Bible says the angel of the Lord, now I don't know if that's Korean chronic price or not because it says the angel of the Lord, but at one point it says an angel.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if that's Korean chronic price or not, but we do know that says the angel of the Lord.
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe it is, I'm not gonna say it is so.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it says that angel of the Lord came and told them they're gonna have a son, told the mother of that.
[SPEAKER_01]: But she said, but the angel said to her, do not drink wine
[SPEAKER_01]: or eat any unclean thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: because you're going to conceive and bear a son.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the angels also said, do not let a razor come upon his head for the child shall be a Nazarite.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the Nazarite is not the same as someone who's an Nazarite, which is a Nazarine.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the same thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: But Nazarite is someone who's promised unto God who has a certain lifestyle of certain things it cannot do, and certain things it would do if promised life could God.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the certain things it could do to certain vows that are made.
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, when you are married, you take vows, remember?
[SPEAKER_01]: But you're not just taking that to the person who's standing next to you.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're taking it, not taking it to God.
[SPEAKER_01]: So when someone says, oh, well, God understand, yeah, he does.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he also understood you may promise us to him.
[SPEAKER_01]: So when someone is unfair to their wife or to their husband, you're not just cheating on that person.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not just being cruel to them.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're being cruel to God.
[SPEAKER_01]: You need to remember that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you're not just married to the spouse, you're married to God.
[SPEAKER_01]: We need to remember that.
[SPEAKER_01]: our relationship with price is a marriage.
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, we need to remember that when we're being unfaithful, we're being unfaithful to God.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm not talking about that just yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it says that he is going to be a Nazarite who got from the womb.
[SPEAKER_01]: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
[SPEAKER_01]: So God has certain things He's going to have Samson do to get them out of the hands of the Philistines.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know why the Philistines are still around?
[SPEAKER_01]: because Israel wasn't obedient even way back to the days when they went into Canaan, to the Canaan land, to the Promised Land.
[SPEAKER_01]: If they had been truly faithful then, the Philosins would be gone, the midnight would be gone, all these people would have been gone, but they weren't.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because, what did the people say?
[SPEAKER_01]: They said that ten were bad and two were good.
[SPEAKER_01]: They saw that two of them said, we could take this land, but ten of them said, we can't do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: They were looking on the outside, now on the inside.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what happened.
[SPEAKER_01]: So going into chapter fourteen, we see it by the way, Manoa and his wife, the angel visited her that she went to her husband.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then he said, well, I'll believe when the angel talks to me, the angel did talk to him.
[SPEAKER_01]: He went and talked to the wife again.
[SPEAKER_01]: She ran toward her husband.
[SPEAKER_01]: That husband spoke to the angel, the angel told her both.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the angel was gone, but they burned to not offering the angel was gone.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, we're going to check for four.
[SPEAKER_01]: And now Sam sent us all grown up.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a grown man and Daytona Philistine woman.
[SPEAKER_01]: Daytona of a bad girl, so to speak.
[SPEAKER_01]: And mom and dad, work too happy about that and folks, you know this.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're a mother and a father, especially if you see your young and dating someone as you don't think so all that, you say, oh, I don't know about this.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know this is the Lord.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's what they said.
[SPEAKER_01]: They said, I don't think this is too good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't you have any of our own?
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at all these good gals over here and you're not dating them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, by the way, don't go looking to stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: By this, I mean, you're not going to find those words in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is the gist of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But they didn't know if God was going to use it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So when it says it was of God's will, they don't miss
[SPEAKER_01]: don't take this wrong, don't take this out of context.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I've seen people do this for so many scriptures.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this means it's God's will for me to do something on God-late.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it means God can take stupidity, even stupidity, and God can make good temperament.
[SPEAKER_01]: But God was going to use this in the sense that God was going to bring the Philistines down what Sam says doing.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so here's what happens.
[SPEAKER_01]: God will use this.
[SPEAKER_01]: He decided to marry her, they did.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's SAMHSA did.
[SPEAKER_01]: And on his way to Tim North, that was the name of the place, one day with his folks a young lion jumped out to attack SAMHSA.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the spirit of the Lord, now listen, spirit of the Lord, that's the Holy Spirit came up on him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember what I've said many, many times before Jesus is in a heart, the Holy Spirit could not be within them.
[SPEAKER_01]: except for John the Baptist, but that's the whole other thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Holy Spirit could not be within them, but it was upon them in times and moments, not all the time.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the Holy Spirit came upon him and he tore the line in two.
[SPEAKER_01]: I always imagine it.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is kind of gross.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I always imagine ripping him pieces.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen different old cartoons of
[SPEAKER_01]: Popeye and other things, they used to rip stuff up like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Usually they try to make it a little nicer, but that's what it did, ripped them into.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he didn't tell us folks.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I don't know if he got off the path for a minute or what, I'm not sure how it worked, but he didn't tell him.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this says that later on, Samsung returned, now I don't know how long it had been.
[SPEAKER_01]: It had to be a little while.
[SPEAKER_01]: It had to be a little while, but Samsung returned later with his folks, I'm assuming.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he saw the lion carcass
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I'm not talking about meat and everything.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm assuming it was the bones or whatnot.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is all the Lions Parkers.
[SPEAKER_01]: And there was a honeycomb in it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he screamed out the honey and ate it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, this was supposedly really good.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a big honey man, but I like some of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he said, come here, honey.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he started eating that honey.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he enjoyed that.
[SPEAKER_01]: And when the wedding came, and that's why I'm assuming he just happened, it's on the way to the wedding.
[SPEAKER_01]: And when the wedding came, there was a feast.
[SPEAKER_01]: And there were a thirty-fillist ink companions who joined him.
[SPEAKER_01]: That means he didn't have a whole lot of friends, so they, they, the Philistine people were around.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the way of things that they had to have friends with them.
[SPEAKER_01]: So folks have thirty pals with you on your week-long party.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they decided to give him thirty Philistine friends.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, they're not really friends.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's say the pod drinks were the moment.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so they had thirty friends join him of Philistine people, join him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Samson gave a riddle.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he said, out of the eater came forth meet and out of the strong came forth sweetness.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they had seven days, because he said, solve it in seven days of the feast.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll give you thirty sets of linen and clothes.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll give you, if what he said.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they couldn't figure it out.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they kept pestering the bride about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: To find out, you said, find it out.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is what they said to her.
[SPEAKER_01]: Find it out or we'll burn your daddy's house down.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they didn't just say your daddy says it will burn you and your daddy's house.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, she'll set his sister.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that would have been, we're going to kill you, kill your daddy and your sister.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to burn you up.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you can understand that she was pretty bothered by this.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would be these bullies.
[SPEAKER_01]: So she nagged Samson and the Bible says this, she nagged them and nagged them and nagged them, nagged them for a whole week until finally, and Samson said to her, one of my favorite lines you said, I didn't tell my folks, you think I'm going to tell you?
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I love that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I know I'm kind of putting in a folksy way, but he finally got tired of a nagging.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so he told her on the seventh day.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so then she ended up telling the Philistines.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so on the seventh day before the sun set, the Philistines answered, what a sweeter than honey and what a stronger than a lion.
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems to said this.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, if you haven't plowed with my hepper, you wouldn't have solved my riddle.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the spirit of the Lord came upon them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, look at any time you read and judges from chapter thirteen to sixteen, the spirit of the Lord came upon Samson.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's about to be some flexing going on.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's about to be a moment, and I'm talking like an action movie.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anytime you hear that Samson's about to be like an Arnold Schwarzenegger film, there's about to be something going on, you know, I'll be back.
[SPEAKER_01]: And here he comes because man,
[SPEAKER_01]: Here he does.
[SPEAKER_01]: Samson came, the whole spirit came upon Samson.
[SPEAKER_01]: He went down to Ash Galon.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a place where a lot of Philicines lived.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he struck down thirty other men.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, struck down in this case, doesn't mean he killed him necessarily.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he took their garments from him.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he struck a mechanism as what he says.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he took their garments from them and he brought it back.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he went down, he brought it back to them and said, here you go, you want your garments?
[SPEAKER_01]: Take your friends clothes.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so he gave it to him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that's not necessarily nice, but he gave him what he said he would.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't even know if it fit him or not, but he gave it to him.
[SPEAKER_01]: He went home to his father's house and his wife was given away to his best man at the wedding.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the dad figured, well, he's not going back.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was never coming back.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he gave her away.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gave her away.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it says by the time he gets the chapter, Fourteen, it says that Samson went down to Timna and saw a woman from the daughters.
[SPEAKER_01]: because he came back up and told his father mother, I have seen the woman from, well, wait, wait, excuse me.
[SPEAKER_01]: It said that he went back, he went back to see his wife because he wanted to be with her, what he said.
[SPEAKER_01]: But when he went there, when he went there,
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... she been given away and he wasn't too happy about it and so and so he wasn't too happy he said uh... he said this to uh... to hit him and uh... his uh... new father-in-law he said to his father-in-law he said that uh... this chapter fifteen is giving and chapter fifteen he came back uh... to visit's wife taking a young goat and he said i'm going to take my wife in her bedroom
[SPEAKER_01]: but her father would not let him go in.
[SPEAKER_01]: Her father said, I thought that you, thirty-hated her, so I gave her to your best man.
[SPEAKER_01]: is not her younger sister better than she, please let her be your wife instead.
[SPEAKER_01]: So can you imagine your sister at all?
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not saying this is your wife now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead, take her.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not a very loving dad of my opinion, but that was what was said.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so he then said this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Samson did.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said this time, I cannot be blamed by the Philistines when I do them harm.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Samson wasn't too happy.
[SPEAKER_01]: So
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he went and caught three hundred foxes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Think about that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what he used to get three hundred foxes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe use honey.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he used three hundred foxes caught three hundred foxes.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he made him into pairs.
[SPEAKER_01]: That means he had a hundred and fifty pairs of foxes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you imagine that?
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what he had him in.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if he had a bin.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if he was like a farmer had a bin.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what he did.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't there.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he had a hundred and fifty pairs of foxes and it says he took the torch and tie the torch just to the back of their tails and he set him free on the land of the Philistines and it says that when he took the three hundred foxes that's a hundred fifty pair of foxes and he set him free in their land it burnt down their grain and their vineyards and their olive trees and oh boy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh boy, was where they met.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the fiddle seems so mad that they went and they killed Samson's in laws.
[SPEAKER_01]: They burnt them up.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I couldn't help but feel bad about that for them.
[SPEAKER_01]: But Samson took revenge.
[SPEAKER_01]: He took revenge.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he decided to kill them.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then by the time that we get to the end of that, how did he do that?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it says that he took a job on.
[SPEAKER_01]: says that he took a, first of all, he's taking captive.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's taken revenge and killed a few.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the fiddle scenes went to some of the Israelites around and said, bring a Samson.
[SPEAKER_01]: So what happened was three thousand men of Judah, then broke and grabbed Samson and said, we're going to take you in, Samson.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so Samson said, OK,
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't kill me, time you have to take me to him.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they went to the Philistines, but here's what happened.
[SPEAKER_01]: By the time that he went to the Philistines, the spirit of the Lord came up on Samson once again, and he broke free from the ropes.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know what he saw?
[SPEAKER_01]: He saw the jawbone of a donkey.
[SPEAKER_01]: The jawbone of a donkey now.
[SPEAKER_01]: When I was young, and they first said that he grabbed a jawbone of an ass.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what he said in the King James, jawbone of a donkey.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that my ant was sent and he walked up to a donkey and yank the jawbone off of the donkey.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not what happened.
[SPEAKER_01]: He saw a bone, a bone of an old donkey sent there if it was not old.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was fresh.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he grabbed that and when he did, he started beating him up with it and he killed him.
[SPEAKER_01]: He killed him now.
[SPEAKER_01]: How many did he kill at that point?
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, we don't know about that.
[SPEAKER_01]: How many did he kill when he took revenge the first time?
[SPEAKER_01]: But this time, he killed a thousand men with a jaw bone of a donkey.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we know that because he said so, he said so, he said, you have given great deliverance through your servant.
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, first thing he said, he said a little rhyme.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, with a jaw bone of a donkey, he's upon heaps with a jaw bone of a donkey.
[SPEAKER_01]: I have slain a thousand men.
[SPEAKER_01]: But then when he got done, he started getting thirsty.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he thought he was going to die.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he called that place the hill of a jawbone that the name of that place was Ramath Lehigh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ramath Lehigh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now after that, he said, he got very, very thirsty.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he called out to the Lord.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, you gave me this great deliverance through your spirit.
[SPEAKER_01]: But now may I die a thirst and fall into the hands of the uncertain sides
[SPEAKER_01]: You ever get through that, where God brings you through something wonderful, and then you think, now God's gonna let me die.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now Samson's not the only one who ever did that.
[SPEAKER_01]: There are a few other people who've done that too, where they believe God helped me, but now he's gonna let me die.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he thought that within there came water through the jawbone.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now this doesn't mean the literal jawbone.
[SPEAKER_01]: I used to think that's what it meant.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was talking about the land that's called the jawbone, the land of Lehigh, because it says that a spring came forth from the ground of the place called Lehigh, and he drank of it, and he was refreshed and revived, because of this, he called that place in Hacor, which means callers and spring, because he called out to the Lord, and then Lord brought out spring.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's in Lehigh to this day, in order to the day this was written.
[SPEAKER_01]: Samson just Israel for how many years, twenty.
[SPEAKER_01]: For twenty years, Samson would end up judging Israel against the days of the Philistines.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then there comes chapter sixteen.
[SPEAKER_01]: And in chapter sixteen, we see
[SPEAKER_01]: certain things.
[SPEAKER_01]: We see certain things happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: We see that Samson goes and sleeps with the prostitute, spent the night with her, and this was in Orlando, Gaza, and then we see that the people were going to kill him, but he slept there till the nighttime, and at the nighttime he came out, and he picked up this great big gate, this big gate, and he moved it up to the top of the hill at nighttime when they weren't expecting.
[SPEAKER_01]: And can you imagine how strong he must have been when the spirit of the Lord came upon him that he could pick up an entire gate on his own?
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we see something else happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: He started dating a woman by the name of Delilah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now there's something interesting about this.
[SPEAKER_01]: I see by the way, I'm not trying to insult anyone who's related to a woman by the name of Delilah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not trying to insult anyone at all.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I always wonder why a woman named their child Delilah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Delilah, the people I they just don't know, I guess, but Delilah was not a good woman.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Lyle and the Bible was, let's say, a professional, because we see in this moment, somebody would say, well, she wasn't the prostitute.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yes and no, we see that he was being with her, but not just that, we also see that she does get paid money to continue to be with him, spend time with him.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll say, we'll do this a little bit kindly.
[SPEAKER_01]: And also, she tried to humiliate him and to convince him and to deceive him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you don't want to call a woman to lie.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not a good thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, so after Samson was with her, he went to the Valley of Souric and he was with this woman named Delilah.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Philistine rulers came to her and said, trick him, find out where his strength comes from so that we can overtake him and overcome him and humiliate him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Each one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I believe that means eleven hundred pieces of silver in all.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe there's more, but I don't think so.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, eleven hundred pieces of silver.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot more than what Judas was going to give for thirty pieces of silver.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he's going to give eleven hundred pieces of silver.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Delilah said to Samson, please tell me how your strength is so great and how you can be bound in order to subdue.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, you wouldn't imagine if you was a man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, men can easily be duped when they like a gal.
[SPEAKER_01]: It can be, let me just tell you women, you already know this, men are stupid.
[SPEAKER_01]: When it comes to, like, and women, when it comes to biology, men are downward and the bag of hammers, downward and the bag of rocks, they just are.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry, you know what?
[SPEAKER_01]: All you have to say, honey, you have to, this is what happens every time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Delilah knew this and this way it was a sense of, but let me just tell you this, man, if a woman straight out and says, how can I make you week?
[SPEAKER_01]: Run, do what Joseph did when the woman was coming after him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Run, run, run, run, run like he lied to wouldn't end up doing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get out of that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't set there and answer her, but he did like a dope.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know why?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because here's the truth.
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone has a kryptonite.
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody has a weakness and we just found Samson.
[SPEAKER_01]: Lust.
[SPEAKER_01]: Lust is his kryptonite.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know what?
[SPEAKER_01]: He's playing with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's playing with that kryptonite now.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's juggling it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you ever done that?
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have a kryptonite?
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a couple for tonight.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've played with them a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've done that before.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not doing it now, but I've done it in the past.
[SPEAKER_01]: Where you're like, you know, I know I'm not supposed to, but I'm going to.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, don't.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't do that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get out of there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get rid of that crypt.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get out of that weakness.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get out of that area.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's weak for you.
[SPEAKER_01]: It Samsung didn't.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you know what he did?
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, if they buy me with seven fresh bow strings, they have never been dried, then I will become weak like any ordinary man.
[SPEAKER_01]: So she told the Philistines.
[SPEAKER_01]: They brought her seven fresh bow strings.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the had never been dry just like she said, and she laid with him.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then she said, Sam sent the Philistines upon you and he woke up and he broke the bow string.
[SPEAKER_01]: And she said, you don't love me.
[SPEAKER_01]: And she put on a boo-hoo-hoo and you know how the man's heart is.
[SPEAKER_01]: And like I know, she said again, tell me where your strength lies.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so what does he do?
[SPEAKER_01]: He gives her another.
[SPEAKER_01]: And another fabrication, he says, if they buy me with new ropes that have never been used, then I will become weak like any ordinary man.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Delilah puts new ropes on him, abounds him up.
[SPEAKER_01]: And she said, the Philistines are upon you, Samson, for men were lying in weight remaining in the room.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he split them apart.
[SPEAKER_01]: He split apart the ropes from his arms, like thread, just boom.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Delilah, once again, said, you lied to me, you don't love me, not again.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, one warning.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, two warnings.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, listen, he says this third time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Third time, he gives her another answer.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, this is his own fault, folks.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's playing around with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's loving that kryptonite.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's playing with it like a little pacifier.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he says this.
[SPEAKER_01]: He says, if you weave seven locks of my hair into the fabric on the loom and fasten it with a pin, then I will become weak like any other ordinary man.
[SPEAKER_01]: So listen now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, first he says the, the, uh, chords and, uh, the bow strings.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he says the rope.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now he says in my hair.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: See what I'm doing.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's getting closer to where it's really at.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I just going to be honest with you.
[SPEAKER_01]: My hair is on my weakness.
[SPEAKER_01]: because there's not much to have me weak, but my hair is weak, what little there is.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's not mine.
[SPEAKER_01]: My point is this, he's playing around with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: When you start getting closer and closer, it's what happens when you start playing around with your fifth and I start playing around with your weakness.
[SPEAKER_01]: At first, you're far from it and then guess what happens, you get closer and closer and closer.
[SPEAKER_01]: and before too long, it gets you.
[SPEAKER_01]: It gets you and it carries you apart.
[SPEAKER_01]: So she does the same thing again.
[SPEAKER_01]: She does what he said with a locks and everything is here.
[SPEAKER_01]: She calls out the Philistines are upon you.
[SPEAKER_01]: He not only wakes up, he tore away the very loom pin from the fabric from his hair and she yelled at him again.
[SPEAKER_01]: said, how can you say that I love you when your heart is not with me?
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to see me these three times and her told me how your strength is so great and every day she nagged him to finally, it said to her words, pleaded with him until he was so tired to death.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I'm not gonna say this man because women too don't you hate what's on nagging, nagging, nagging, nagging, I've had that and you get so tired of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: He could just scream.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, if you ladies, you've had children.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you know, well, when that's happened, and they nag you, you just want to find any way to get him away from me.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what he did.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he told the whole truth.
[SPEAKER_01]: He told her, all of his secrets has said, heard, no razor has touched my head.
[SPEAKER_01]: For I have been a Nazarite to God, for from my youth, from my mother's womb, he says, if I were shaving, my strength would leave me, and I could become weak like any other man.
[SPEAKER_01]: And she believed him.
[SPEAKER_01]: She could see was the truth.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know what happened.
[SPEAKER_01]: She had someone come in while he had his head on her left.
[SPEAKER_01]: They cut his hair, he became weak, like in the other man.
[SPEAKER_01]: It says that his eyes were taken out and he ended up being made prisoner.
[SPEAKER_01]: A while, three thousand people were on top of the building and they placed him in between the pillars.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sam sent prairie to God because he did not know his hair was growing back.
[SPEAKER_01]: The power is not in his hair.
[SPEAKER_01]: The power is in the one that he made about to
[SPEAKER_01]: his mom didn't made about to.
[SPEAKER_01]: As his hair's growing back, he prayed in the God.
[SPEAKER_01]: Lord God, these hear me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Give me strength so I can make revenge for my eyes.
[SPEAKER_01]: And as he prayed and pushed, the pillars came out, went out.
[SPEAKER_01]: The ceiling came in over three thousand died.
[SPEAKER_01]: Over three thousand, there's three thousand on top, not to mention everyone else around that he was always remembered as silly as Samson was.
[SPEAKER_01]: Many Christians nowadays, we could think of, it looks like a job for Samson.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it actually was a Samson.
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_01]: is a power of God through Samson.
[SPEAKER_01]: Many Christians think that they're the heroes of the story when they read the Bible.
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll go to Scripture and they'll look up different Scriptures and they think it's a job for me on the hero of the story you've heard of before.
[SPEAKER_01]: People will look up the stories of Samson and David of so many others that think this is all about me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Will folks?
[SPEAKER_01]: You can all see scriptures that relate to us, and that we can be related to.
[SPEAKER_01]: But we're not the heroes of the Bible.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not.
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of times, they think they're a hero of the story, and they say, it's about me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the Super Sai.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the Super Saints.
[SPEAKER_01]: They think they're the rescuers who swooping down to save the day.
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, many ministers will freezes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Many ministers with a big toothy grants will talk about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: They give a false narrative about this.
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, I was given this.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't give this to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it says that you're my hero.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I really appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_01]: But too many Christians walked around thinking that they're the hero every day.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I have a hero too.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's not me.
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, as I said before, many times, I used to read Philippians four thirteen, like we read before we started today.
[SPEAKER_01]: And reading Philippians four thirteen, I used to read it incorrectly.
[SPEAKER_01]: when I was started in my diet years ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it went like this, Philippians, fourth or thirteen, I can do all things.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're crisis training.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how it is.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can do all things because I have so much such low self-esteem, such insecurity.
[SPEAKER_01]: I needed to hear, I can do all things.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're crisis training.
[SPEAKER_01]: Really quick, I would read that last part.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can do all things.
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's not what it means, folks.
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't mean I can do all things.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll get through that here in a moment.
[SPEAKER_01]: In Romans, chapter one,
[SPEAKER_01]: Romans chapter one, twenty four, three, twenty five.
[SPEAKER_01]: It says, therefore God gave them up to uncleanness through the lust of their hearts to dishonor their own bodies among themselves.
[SPEAKER_01]: They turned
[SPEAKER_01]: They turn the truth of God into a lie and worship and serve the creature rather than the creator who is blessed forever, amen.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now what does that mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, right before that verse, we see that God has taught my homosexuality and other impure livens and is saying that a lot of times people believe that they're the hero, they can do all things that will just rely on ourselves.
[SPEAKER_01]: Folks, you're not the hero.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not the hero.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to be able to be a hero, but folks were not.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, that doesn't mean God can't use you, but we're not the super saints.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're just not.
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the verses that I want to read to you is first Corinthians, ten, fourteen.
[SPEAKER_01]: First Corinthians, ten, fourteen.
[SPEAKER_01]: It says, so my beloved flee from idolatry, flee from idolatry, to be for idolatry means to have an idol, make gods of ourselves.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not to make gods of ourselves, flee from idolatry.
[SPEAKER_01]: Psalm, thirty-one, twenty-four, Psalm, thirty-one, twenty-four says, be strong and he will strengthen your heart.
[SPEAKER_01]: All you who wait for the Lord.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we need a way for the Lord.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, this doesn't mean when lots of people say, well, wait for the Lord.
[SPEAKER_01]: This doesn't mean you set around in your career and do nothing.
[SPEAKER_01]: It means, wait for the Lord and when the Lord leads you to do something, then you do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's heroic a lot of times.
[SPEAKER_01]: to not know what's gonna happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's heroic.
[SPEAKER_01]: When we're standing there, worried and put our cares upon Christ.
[SPEAKER_01]: And when He tells us to do something, we do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a rule.
[SPEAKER_01]: Second Timothy, one, seven.
[SPEAKER_01]: For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.
[SPEAKER_01]: Power and love and self control.
[SPEAKER_01]: God is always with us.
[SPEAKER_01]: He never leaves us and never forsakes us.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's always with us.
[SPEAKER_01]: What does it say, the first John chapter two?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, first John chapter two, verse fifteen and seventeen.
[SPEAKER_01]: We need to be careful not to be involved with things of the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: He says, first John chapter two verse, fifteen and seventeen, do not love the world or the things in the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
[SPEAKER_01]: For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father, but is of the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: We must not give in to pride and think that we're the heroes of the story because we're not
[SPEAKER_01]: We need to make sure that we seek what is good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Seek God.
[SPEAKER_01]: As it says in Proverbs, I love in twenty seven.
[SPEAKER_01]: Proverbs, I love in twenty seven and says he who diligently seeks good, put you as favor, but he who seeks mischief.
[SPEAKER_01]: It will come to him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we know that to be true.
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember when you're young.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we knew mom and dad told us to be good and we weren't.
[SPEAKER_01]: I also like the nation's six nine about doing good.
[SPEAKER_01]: We can be good, be obedient, and follow God.
[SPEAKER_01]: It says, and let us not grow weary and doing good for induces and we shall reap if we do not give up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the truth.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus, Jesus, we're not the Savior.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not the Savior.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is the Savior.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not the hero of the day.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not the Super Saints.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not the Super Savior.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is the hero.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've pointed this out before in my Bible.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the cover.
[SPEAKER_01]: It says, Jesus, my superhero.
[SPEAKER_01]: He is my superhero.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jesus is our Savior.
[SPEAKER_01]: When we have the title today, this is, this looks like a job for our Savior.
[SPEAKER_01]: Looks like a job for our Savior.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is our Savior.
[SPEAKER_01]: Looks like a job for the Son of God, for the Son of man, for the spotless lamb, for the sanctification for our sins.
[SPEAKER_01]: This looks like a job for Jesus, the supernatural hero.
[SPEAKER_01]: This looks like a job for Jesus.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's through Jesus so we are saved.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's how we become saints.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, so many pastors want to make it look like we're the heroes who come in and save the day.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're the ones falling out of the helicopter of sin when Jesus came through and saved us from hitting the ground.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're the ones who couldn't do anything.
[SPEAKER_01]: We couldn't do anything on our own.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jesus had to come through and protect us from death.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're the ones who had to cause saves me, saves me, saves me, saves me.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he came down and saved us.
[SPEAKER_01]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_01]: Where the ones that said, I can't do this, please save me, Lord, save me, save your, and he did save us.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I don't know about you, but all the day that I call out, save me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I could not get a cape of my own.
[SPEAKER_01]: All folks, I would love to tell you today.
[SPEAKER_01]: I had, I had, I had all sorts of wonderful things to wear of Superman.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wore one of my Superman ties.
[SPEAKER_01]: I even had some little,
[SPEAKER_01]: little cuffs to wear.
[SPEAKER_01]: I forgot to wear my little belt here, my little belt here.
[SPEAKER_01]: I even wore my little watch here.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would have to tell you that I had to keep the wear, but folks, I wouldn't wear a cape.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just wouldn't do that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I brought it, but I wouldn't wear it.
[SPEAKER_01]: That would just be silly.
[SPEAKER_01]: But here's the other reason why I wouldn't wear a cape, because I'm not the superhero of this story.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're not the superhero of the story.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is the superhero of the story.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is the one who flew in and saved me from the depths of hell.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is the one who comes in and protects us from s, the sin.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is the one who comes in and saves us from s, the serpent who wants to swallow us whole and tell us that we're condemned.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is the one who comes in and tells us that Philippians, forth the thirteen, I can do all things through Christ.
[SPEAKER_01]: through Christ who strengthens me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that us who can do it?
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not the super soldiers.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's through Christ.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one who asks strengthens me.
[SPEAKER_01]: John, three, sixteen, three, eighteen.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, John, three, sixteen, three, eighteen.
[SPEAKER_01]: For God's so love the world that He gave His only, He got in Son.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Hussora believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting eternal life.
[SPEAKER_01]: For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
[SPEAKER_01]: He who believes in Him is not condemned, but He who does not believe is condemned already because He has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[SPEAKER_01]: It says in Luke, night King, ten, for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was you.
[SPEAKER_01]: And one day, there you were, needy help falling down into the depths of hell.
[SPEAKER_01]: Save me and he saved you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Praise the Lord God.
[SPEAKER_01]: Praise the Lord.
[SPEAKER_01]: John chapter ten.
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, you don't know this because you can't see, but in my Bible, I have a little Superman sticker sitting on the top of here that says, invincible.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's not about us being invincible.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's marks this place here, John chapter ten, that our salvation is invincible through Jesus, not us, but our salvation is invincible through Jesus.
[SPEAKER_01]: John chapter ten, verse twenty two,
[SPEAKER_01]: for his twenty-two through thirty.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now in reality, it's worth twenty-five that I usually go to, but we're going to point two through thirty.
[SPEAKER_01]: It says this, the fees of dedication was at Jerusalem.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it again, John chapter ten, verse twenty-two through thirty.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I speak fast sometimes, and I apologize about that, but I get all excited, especially when I feel a whole spirit going through.
[SPEAKER_01]: John chapter ten, twenty-two through thirty.
[SPEAKER_01]: The fees of the dedication was at Jerusalem, and it was winter.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch, and that's something in Solomon's porch.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the Jews surrounded him saying, how long will you keep us in suspense?
[SPEAKER_01]: If you are Christ, tell us plainly, and Jesus answered them, I told you, and you did not believe
[SPEAKER_01]: The words that I do and my father's name bear witness of me.
[SPEAKER_01]: But you do not believe because you are not of my sheep as I said to you.
[SPEAKER_01]: My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I give them eternal life.
[SPEAKER_01]: They shall never
[SPEAKER_01]: parish.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nor shall anyone snatch them from my hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: My father, my father who has given them to me is greater than all.
[SPEAKER_01]: No one is able to snatch them from my father's hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: My father and I are one.
[SPEAKER_01]: No one can take you out of God's hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: No one can take you out of Jesus's hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: You cannot take you out of God's hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: When you are saved, when you are saved, you cannot be taken out of God's hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: So don't listen to those ministers.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't listen to those other Christians.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't listen to the loss who try to convince you and most definitely don't listen to Satan when he tries to convince you that you're on your way to hell.
[SPEAKER_01]: You are not going to hell, not because you don't deserve it, because you do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like I do.
[SPEAKER_01]: But you are not going to hell, because Grader is he who is in me, the who's of the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: Grader is Jesus who is in me, first off, four, four.
[SPEAKER_01]: Grader is Jesus who is in me, then Satan.
[SPEAKER_01]: Matthew ten, sixteen through twenty.
[SPEAKER_01]: Matthew XVI, your twenty.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus says, look, I'm sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.
[SPEAKER_01]: Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as dubs, but beware of men, for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you into their synagogues.
[SPEAKER_01]: You will be brought before governors and kings for my sake.
[SPEAKER_01]: for a testimony against him and the Gentiles.
[SPEAKER_01]: But when they deliver you up, take no thought of how or what you will speak.
[SPEAKER_01]: This shows the power of the spirit.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's one of the big S's to listen to, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, no thought of how or what you will speak.
[SPEAKER_01]: For it will be given to you at the time what you will speak.
[SPEAKER_01]: For it is not you who speak, but the spirit of your father who speaks through you.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is why I say before you are not the superhero.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is it is the Lord God who speaks during you through the spirit through that super spirit.
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like a John for the spirit.
[SPEAKER_01]: When people are asking about Jesus, be quiet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Pray to God, let the Spirit speak.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I just want to tell them, no, let the Spirit speak.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not time for you to go off on anybody.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a time for you to say, I would want to say, no, let the Spirit speak.
[SPEAKER_01]: This looks like a job where the Spirit, this looks like a job for Jesus the Savior.
[SPEAKER_01]: This looks like a job for supernatural Lord God, the Father, amen for the Creator of all things.
[SPEAKER_01]: One last verse, well, more or less.
[SPEAKER_01]: John, sixteen, thirty three, John, sixteen, thirty three.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus said, I have told you these things.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that in me, you may have peace in the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: You will have tribulation, but be of good cheer.
[SPEAKER_01]: I have overcome the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's overcome it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Folks, he's already won.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, one thing I love as a kid.
[SPEAKER_01]: One of my earliest memories is going to see the movie Superman, Superman, the movie, at theater with my mother and my father and my family.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love seeing the symbol come up, the music, and John Williams, which is great because it's something he wants to explain.
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the things I love though, you know what the end, what's going to happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know the villain, it's gonna lose.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know he's gonna lose.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Superman's gonna win and fly off.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know that.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're gonna feel good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Folks, Jesus, the Savior, the Savior is gonna win.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's already won.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's already written.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's written in the script.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's already written, but it's not a play.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the real deal.
[SPEAKER_01]: The loser, Lucifer, his already lost.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's lost.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is already won.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's already won the day.
