The Ego Man | 🅽🅴🆆 🆂🅴🆁🅸🅴🆂

[Music] okay wow are you ready [Music] [Applause] okay okay guys so we've got a new series going and like finna said uh when i was abroad i was listening to all you guys talk online and i realized that uh y'all um are dealing with uh your egos and i thought uh that i'll help you go down that road a bit deeper okay so uh this is um this is uh this is something that is uh very very important to it's just it's just it's actually christianity 101 and unfortunately you don't get uh many pastors preaching this stuff and they will preach uh power and they'll preach healing and they preach authority and they preach finances and they preach faith but you can't have any of those unless you have the na the death of the natural man the death of the ego man okay you can't none of that happens this this thing works christianity is uh what is this okay test check one check one yeah you're good okay yeah so they you you can't get away from the whole story the narrative you have to look at the bible as a storybook uh from the beginning to end it's telling you different stories and building a narrative uh to a crescendo okay so it comes it's b it's different stories of different people uh whether you want to believe them to be real stories or fake stories it doesn't matter because jesus says uh or even myths you know i don't care if people think that uh the story of noah is a myth and the story of adam and eve is a myth uh i have no i have no problem with it uh because uh jesus says that he talks in parables okay so when jesus says he talks in parables he's literally saying that god talks in parables that's what he's saying so he says it can be just a parable any one of those stories can be a parable so your life is a parable literally he talks in parables your life is a living epistle means a parable it's a motive your life is a symbol the cross itself is a parable and i'm not saying it doesn't mean fake myth doesn't mean faith doesn't mean fake it's just not historical it's a story with meaning yes it's a story with meaning the cross itself is a story with meaning none of us saw jesus christ crucified you understand it no one of you saw it all you heard is a story you understand it and so we are storytellers and believe we we believe that these stories have the power to give us uh literally life okay so um i'm not one of those guys who who force people to believe in this stuff but i can tell you there's power in understanding and bringing meaning to the motives the the the psychological aspects uh that have tremendous power uh because they carry the spirit okay so why am i telling you this before we start the story of the ego is because uh we have to understand that every story if you look at all the stories in the bible it's about different people who are having different struggles that's the most important thing i mean don't ever look at the bible and look at these stories as though just because someone told you the bible is holy and the scriptures are holy and that this book is holy don't think of that in a way that you can't relate you have to look at it that these people were individuals who were probably natural normal people going through natural normal things and the whole story is them struggling and grappling with themselves you look at the story of uh jacob fighting with an angel and you find out that he's about to meet his brother the brother that he had uh maybe not had such a good relationship with and now he's about to face his brother you see god brings you back to facing the brother there's no story that he had the problem with the brother and then uh a fairy tale story like and then jacob lived happily ever after he played his brother out okay that is this is how i would have written the story if i want to like uh play the fool right uh i would have written that jacob uh you know played his brother out took the money went into a new country married a wife not one but two and and then uh jacob lived happily ever after but he didn't the story says that he is brought back okay brought back to meet to face again the place where he made a mistake okay the he he was brought back cycle after cycle of the cycle stories of people brought back to face their past okay constantly when you look at jesus it is you facing your past you know and it's constantly throughout the bible you look at the story of abraham you look at the sort of abrahamic and jacob and you tell me if you don't see abraham couldn't do something then it's given over to his son and then so the same names i mean it it's it's it's like how can it be like abraham's son jacob is meeting the same king with the same name at the same rail and you get confused you're like but no no this was the same guy that abraham met but why is he needing it why is meeting the same guy with nearly the same name and it's nearly the same well and he says oh they are brought back to dig your fathers and then they've now got this revival story that all the uh churches are are digging back their fathers wells do you know what that means do you know the terror of digging your father's wells the terror of that concept it's not a good thing when you have to go and deal with what your fathers did and face it in your generation because your fathers didn't face it right because your fathers didn't face it right we have been given an opportunity as individuals so that we can conquer things in this generation that our children when you say children i don't believe i don't have children on my own i don't plan to either so um i don't the my children yeah would never have to face the same problems you understand we face it in this generation so that we don't it doesn't get passed down to you you understand that and as we conquer those things and we take authority over those things then suddenly you have a testimony another testament not histamine and sunny the whole of wow and all of those who are listening to us globally are resonating with the same testimony because one man could go forth and know that he's not working or doing something out of a selfish body conscious motive but here he's thinking about generations around him and generations that are coming after him you understand it i'm already explaining to you about the i don't i think it's the egocentric paradigm and i think fiona in a theology said he first i'm here to fix this if it's wrong it's the exocentric paradigm i'm not sure okay that means from going from being body conscious about myself to suddenly going beyond yourself transcending beyond yourself you'll constantly see the story of the bible that you are brought face to face with everything that either you had faced before and that you had lost lost and you didn't couldn't face before you didn't face well okay or you thought you faced well that has happened so many times oh i got out of that that was good guess what next year around the same time same problem guess what the man upstairs thought i don't think you face that well there's a little more left there there's just a little more no no but you don't understand but i thought i came out with gold no it's just let's just a little more a little more to do and then they're given the same plate to be able to eat from and hopefully if we face it well we don't have to face it again you got it it's the way it works this is the way this algorithm of god if you want to call it works you can never get away with weight not facing a situation well just know that it will always come back to you so as you face it well you kill it because every bad situation lives in a certain arena and that arena is called the natural okay it means sucks it every situation is in the flesh i actually thought a long time ago like seven years i said the devil is on the thinking level you remember the devil is on the thinking level i'm getting attacked i'm getting attacked yes he's attacking you where he can attack you where he lives you feed every demonic force with your emotions that that contest and contend with what is going on in your life the key about uh something about about the ego is that uh the character of the ego and this is very important to understand is one of the main characters that i'll be bringing out a lot in this series is control control okay um the egocentric man is in control he likes to control he will always want to control simple okay does the ego mean a proud man he can make he can be a proud person but he doesn't always have to be a proud person a man who is in control gets very proud because of his control and his ability to manipulate and put things together in the way he wants okay when he does win it then brings himself a certain amount of glory that and a formula that he will constantly use and of course he can become very proud with that till that box cracks and he doesn't have that formula anymore and believe me the whole journey of life the whole journey of life is to make sure that those boxes crack in different different areas that's why we are placed on this earth is so that we crack each one each one each one and so each one of those boxes when they go pop pop pop pop what is happening is the layers of the self the sox man now is failing away and the true self which is christ inside of you is emanating out that is why we live okay that is why we live so that finally that when we live fully in the full expression of christ that we can shed these layers of the self okay and finally and uh if if you're lucky you will you will shed those layers by allowing the spirit itself to minister to you to get out of those fears those anxieties those worries those those those that bitterness the hatred whatever it is if you'll allow the spirit to minister to you and allow the spirit to put to death the deeds of the ego self and the flesh or death nor life doesn't separate you from the love of god you understand it then no life will separate you okay but the ones who can make sure that they focus on self mastery and focus on getting this done as soon as possible and hopefully that's you wow because you're sitting here listening to me might be able to live longer and longer and longer and longer and longer and longer you understand that because what finally kills us is ourselves and of course there are spirits and all kinds of things that are involved in that but it's our natural self of a natural man a simplest concept you just take a very very simple concept of exercise okay let me just give you exercise and eating right okay let's talk exercise anything right because we're a church that exercises and it's right okay a simple concept like this like someone will think like they will live till they're 60 70 80 90 or whatever it is and at one point of time inevitably this is just natural this is normal stuff that you will go to a doctor and the doctor will tell you something about your health that's normal right i remember the time when um i used to preach immortality's like uh like crazy and the lord said you'll want to live for 500 years i said yeah he said you know how many times you'll get cancer in 500 years do you know how many times you will have to defeat cancer do you know how many times you'll have to defeat heart disease in fact do you know how many times you are different defeat thieves and robbers and bankruptcy and all that the longer you leave the more problems you're going to have it's just a matter of volume and i mean it's just common sense right you want to live long so of course you're going to have more problems that's why or abraham and all these guys have more problems than you can even imagine because they lived a long life okay so so unless i learned to defeat cancer now at this age if i defeat it now at this age if i allow it to happen now then when i when it comes to 60 i've already my my body mechanics have already understood how to defeat it you understand that so your body naturally goes into that place where you already know to do it people live life very very ignorantly they live life like uh or we're just gonna live and believe nothing's gonna happen what this is it's not gonna that's not gonna happen you're going to constantly have obstacles and obstacles and then you're fighting obstacles you win the obstacle in the next observation because why because you're the one who wants to live you understand that you're the one who wants to live and then if you want to live then guess what someone needs to die do you understand that and that's how this thing works okay so i'm just giving you the foundation of why i'm teaching ego so the simple form is i i say you go to a doctor at whatever age and that guy gives you a bad bill of health and says well you got this problem or that problem or whatever it is and now they will take the report the bad report from that time onwards your life changes as you know some of you have got bad reports you know what that means okay your life changes you're like oh right now when you know that you got the bad report now from that time onwards you need to do something what you will do is you will exert a lot of energy in a short period of time and hopefully you'll have a long enough time but some people don't get that long enough time and they're not trained and so you'll exert a long a lot of power and energy and effort now newton wise like energy to get healed so it can be medicine it can be eating right it can be exercise it can be and forget about all that even the eating right it's a lot of mine mental stress like every day you have to wake up and you're sick and you realize that you wake up and you're like no you're fighting every moment every moment is a fight okay i mean if you've been sick you'll know what i'm talking about every moment is like no i'm going to i'm going to live i'm going to live and this fight is done the fight is on the fight is on and it's every moment every time every second constantly continuously till you get to the doctor and he gives you okay i'm getting better oh i'm getting healed or doctor says well you're getting better you look you're looking better you're looking better things are getting better but it's a hell of a lot of energy okay now let me reverse back to you to explain this to you how this happens right if i if you reverse back this remember this is about tuesday that's why i can go i can talk to you about this stuff okay so or you can there's another way you can do this is that before that report comes that same say that energy that you exerted to get healed oh that's gorgeous it was just a just um uh it was a what is that a double dub it just flew in yeah yeah so beautiful and so just understand so uh if you that say that that energy that you you exerted to get the clean bill of health was a thousand newtons okay 1 500 newtons now that's same i'm not a scientist but i'm just trying to explain to you okay if at 50 or 30 or at 60 or 75 or whatever you started exercising eating right like fasting do you know the amount of energy that you'd exert to fast like like if you get up and say i'm not going to eat today there's a wheel that comes you know that that ex that energy you're creating creating creating creating energy right okay and then uh when you when you exercise your access and you're running you're creating that energy you know picking up the money creating energy creating an educated energy it's the same amount of energy that you need but it's in a longer span of time and you can relax and get it done same amount of energy that you need to get the problem out the reason you don't get sick is because you've already exerted that energy so you don't get that doctor's report do you understand that so it's the same amount of energy either you can use that same amount of energy here or you use the same energy here and then you don't get that report or you can use it here okay and if you're a good church and it facilitates you and supports you and they love you and they're encouraging you and all this kind of stuff it's your energy their energy all that boom get you here can do can do have done also okay but what happens if you outed a thousand newtons of thousands of newtons that you needed to get heal here if you had already done your work with a thousand here just imagine this how cool this is a thousand has already been done here okay with the exercise the flashing the all that kind of stuff and now okay you get a report all you need to exert is 500 and therefore your healing becomes much faster okay so why am i telling you this because we live how life emanates is through stress that's how it emits that means there are forces that come against you and life is pushing against the forces and then the more it pushes against the force life is coming like this life is coming like this one life is called ego life and one life is called zoe life so the ego life is coming like this and then the joy life is coming like this and one guy is going to get stronger one guy is going to get weaker that's the way it works if you don't believe me look at what a atom looks like an atom looks like a minus and a plus the boat that's why you can't put your hand to this table because it's a minus plus and they're constantly pressing against each other like this you understand that yeah everything is made with the polarities okay and these two polarities are constant that is and that's why it makes things hard and so you have to understand that this polarity is very very important in life and you're constantly contending with your other self okay and once you know that and and guess what okay you're continuing without yourself because it's getting refined and refined and refined and refined and finally what happens is the spirit man inside of you starts coming out and you start becoming what we call spiritual okay that is the whole thing the story of the bible is a story of jesus shouting out saying not my will but your will be done you understand that you can't get away from the fact that that is what means by the death of the flesh the death of the ego not my will but your will okay you see your will means the nature of the spirit lord it's going to be your will and not mind so constantly the contending when you look at the man on the cross the man on a cross is this famous uh verse in galatians 2 at the end it says i am crucified with christ okay i am crucified with christ and there that i am is not ego there i want you to understand how how is presented i am crucified with christ it is no longer i who live that word i there and it's so beautiful i am crucified in christ it is no longer i who live the i there is the word the greek word ego okay so i've been crucified with christ it is no longer i who live that were there it's no longer ego who lives but a life that i now live and that word i dare is interesting okay it's not the word ego the life that i now live i live by the faith of the son of god who loved me and gave himself for me that word is zoe do you understand it so i no longer live ego no longer lives reading it in greek it looks like this ego no longer lives but what lives in me zoe lives in me the zoe life and the ego life you understand it the ego life is crucified then the way life lives the joy life is a completely different life the spirit life it's a completely different life to the ego life you understand it and so the whole story of the bible is a story of this ego being put to death you have to understand it it's about that and that is why when the when the devil came to jesus look at what he contended with jesus with the whole idea was you don't need to do it in that way you don't need to you don't need to get the kingdom true death you don't have to put to death yourself you can get the kingdom i can give it to you see he's trying to circumvent this is the same thing that happened in the in the garden that we have the knowledge of good and evil you can circumvent the death of the self huh and you can get the kingdom your way there is that way as well it's called the ego life okay and that ego life is the life that you can do it that way and um when you do it that way i've done it that way uh you will see that you will have to constantly keep working at what you are doing constantly when i say working working is very good but it's constant toil constant pain constant suffering you know there's constant toil and labor into getting things done the zoe life is a life of christ that's where life just happens okay the difference between the two characters how you know the difference between the two is this thing called control control control is the key to distinguish is this is this the part of the zoe life or is this part of legal life is how much control am i in okay yep okay so if you understand this yeah if you understand it's like the twilight zone can you hear that if you understand the the story of christ is the story of relinquishing the flesh relinquishing your understanding and allowing things to happen okay that's why romans 8 says the creation starts responding to you and all things work together you see the key about understanding the difference is in this life in the in the zoe life you just watch and gaze and you wait you understand that doesn't mean you don't do work but your mindset is just gazing watching loving not withdrawing love constantly continuously being patient long suffering and then something happens something we don't there is no expectation of what is going to happen something happens we don't know maybe we just die and go to heaven i don't know that's not the point the point is just allow yourself to watch what is happening and allow the spirit to raise it up do you think jesus was crying on the cross and saying when he was dying do you think his self was crying out and saying you know holy spirit now you promised to resurrect me you promised to resurrect me now i don't know where i'm going are you sure you're going to resurrect me do you think he's having this conversation jesus was fully man and that's why it's beautiful because when he's on a cross he doesn't know himself what the heck is going to happen he only knows what's going to happen through the prophets like you he's read his bible well and he the prophets say that he will be raised up from the dead so he's seen in the scriptures he's seen some gold dust he's seen some gemstones he's seen i'm just trying to show you okay he's seen some miracles he's seen the dead been raised just like you he's the sick being healed just like you and he's seen that it happens through his hands he's made angels he's seen all kinds of things like some of you okay and now he's on a cross and all he has read was in the bible that he might be the messiah that also is not so sure he's not so sure because at the end of it he's like are you sure this is for me father everything that was prophesied has happened like me my life i say everything i profit that happened your life same no okay so he's like now every time i prophesied will happen in the old testament it looks like it is me but now that i'm about to go are you sure it's me because if if it's not me it's a damn shame for the world because we need another savior to go to the same pain because i thought it's me and i'm walking in the footsteps believing that it is me he didn't have some special faith people say oh jesus had some special faith no he didn't especially he was all man just like you where he got his information was from the same bible that you get your information from the old testament so he's now second kissing okay oh boy that's right now according to this scripture tomorrow i should be dead it's passover tomorrow is the passover that means i am the sacrifice this is what john the baptist that crazy prophet a crazy prophet came and prophesied a crazy kirby guy he says all kind of things this crazy prophet came and said you are the lamb of god do you want me to say prophecy over you like that you are the lamb to the slaughter you are going to die for the sins of the world okay and so this was told him imagine that prophecy he didn't get victimized he didn't call his pastor and say what the heck is going on here by this kind of okay like when we tell people like things are going to get bad before it gets good they don't like it so we are now forced to just say happy things to them are you going through something don't worry it's going to get worse but we are there but i do i do tell you that i said don't worry i'll walk into a wall dome or i'll walk with you don't worry i'll pick you up scrape you off the ball okay because i can see it happen don't i mean it's you're walking into it i can't see it happening you're like man i told you a million times but you know it's okay it's gonna happen and then we're there we're a church okay so like that he was prophesied over do you think he could divert his prophecy could he die but his life could he change it could he like go and say lord can't we do something about this situation no he his question was lord are you sure it's me because if this can be diverted it'll be really nice but then he said but you know not my will they are the death of the ego but your will be done now think about your problem think about your problem what you're going through right now when have you said that no we had thought in the charismatic pentecostal revival to pray for everything pray against everything pray against your sickness pray against your financial problem pray against this it's not in the bible it's not there the bible is let not my will but your will be done that's real good bible because while he's on a cross now he's thinking okay i've had it this is it i'm about to die okay he can just die as a normal man there and everything will be finished like he said it is finished but he's also saying hey the prophet also said that i'm going to go to hell now so he's got the the trip continues [Laughter] we we just see him ah jesus finished he's like damn and he really meant it because he's going to go down okay and then suddenly he ends up in hell i'm just giving you the narrative of jesus jesus is in hell okay he's ended up in hell like okay like prophecy to the t i am now in hell everything that can go wrong has gone wrong okay but murphy's law yeah okay and there he is in hell and he's like what are we going to do and that's when he had to depend just like us on the holy spirit to come and say come on jesus mom and dad want you home okay and he's taken up and he's resurrected okay no control no manipulation okay just allowing all things to work together for whom god loves you understand that i was doing my key gong i've been doing qigong for about two years some of you know and i'm doing my ki gong and now i've developed myself to a place where i can put my hand on on a little flame i'm gonna show you demonstrate my early days but on a on a little flame not a big flame but little flame okay still about thousand three hundred celsius you know and so i can i can hold it above it for a couple of minutes at least and um so i have just shown it to my my friend and my kigomas and he was like like what the heck how did how do you sound because this is advanced stuff you know and so he told me and he was explaining to me that i i mean previously i learned you know how many of you seen let me pick things up please yeah you see that picking up thing i remember at that time um i was learning from my friend dr roland to to do that and he's armenian mystic or like you know but the the thing is like when i when i was learning that i remember every time i would pick it up and he would follow my hand he would tell me kirby it's your judgment okay and i was like man judgment on that level do you understand that that means we judge we are eating from this tree of knowledge of good and evil good and bad constantly judging constantly continuously it's just because of my judgment i couldn't pick something up i couldn't suction it with my hand because of judgment so it made me think man if my judgment can't make me do that there's a whole lot of things i'm judging my mind is blinded my heart is blinded there's a whole lot of things that i can't do it's not about picking a cup up from the table with your hand it's about so much of our natural mind is evaluating and judging you understand it and so i was just talking to my kikong teacher and he was like you know people get to that stage because the first thing the ego says is you're going to burn it's a fire it's a problem it can be a financial problem the ability to wait and just watch constantly and continuously means that i'm not giving in at least in this area i'm not giving in to the egocentric paradigm and my natural ways do you understand that okay constantly where we we come face to face with our fears face to face always brought back to our fears to our uh victimization to our past our traumas constantly brought back and brought back and brought back and brought back and one day when all this stuff was happening to me i remember i was in the previous house i was uh i'd driven up to the gate and i was sitting there and i said lord when is venice is going to stop like when will he stop and then he said to whom much is given much is required to whom much is given much is required like that doesn't mean you have to suffer constantly but when you do suffer you got to suffer well you understand that i mean if you suffer well you get a smaller dose of it later on a smaller dose later on okay this is every man's life every single person's life whether you're a christian we're a buddhist you're a hindu you go to whatever philosophy you go to the buddhist philosophy you go into the hindu philosophy you go into whatever philosophy they're saying the same thing there are differences and trust me i know the difference that's why i'm a christian priest still okay there are differences but the protocols are very very very similar you understand that right now let's start with this verse in one corinthians 2. let's have a look at it here are you guys okay okay so i'm laying this very well for you guys to for you to understand what the ego is it doesn't just have to be a proud person that can be a part of the ego and god says it god resists the proud and he gives what to the humble grace to the humble okay so he says so he say so it says if you humble yourself god will exalt you in due time if you humble yourself in every area if you humble yourself you're allowed to speak to humble yourself he exalts you if the world humbles you okay it's going to be hard you rather not the world humble you you rather humble yourself you understand it so there is pride involved in it but actually in my life it's very little to do with what um what someone can call pride or what they call arrogance okay i mean that's not what i'm dealing with i'm dealing with mostly the natural man you understand some people who are very body conscious have to deal with pride okay and that's man i'll tell you if you're just dealing with body conscious pride okay you're still you're still in the babe stage and after that there's a lot more to go it's like this is like you are in like like if it's just pride and stuff like that like that kind of thing man i'll tell you to get to where i am in the mystical it's like a long long way you that has to be like sorted off immediately because the word sin in the greek people think hamataya the word sin the word sin when the greeks spoke about sin they were putting three hebrew concepts together just understand the the hebraic understanding the hebrews the hebrews have you ever heard have you seen the word sin alone in the new in the old testament you never see it because it was just a very minor matter sin more important was transgressions more important was iniquities sin transgression iniquities the hebrews never only dealt with this word sin okay so when the greeks and the and european church afterwards started using the word sin they're talking about three things every time you see in the old testament it's sin transgressions iniquities the whole tabernacle is for sin transgressions iniquities let me just explain a couple of them sin was just a simple simple thing like you don't have to you don't have to uh have a court case to know what sin is like you don't have to have investigative sort of uh lawyer to find out what sin is sin is very blatant okay but transgressions and iniquities are are you you can't see it very clearly iniquities are those hidden places in your heart that you don't expose no one knows so you can do something out of iniquity you understand that inequity can be like i like i tell the story someone you you wake up one morning and you decide i'm going to give the church um uh what i'm giving i'm gonna give the church hundred bags of cement okay we don't need cement but i'm just gonna say i'm gonna give it a hundred back seven okay then he gets up in the morning he gets up later on i'm just trying to show her ego what ego is scene is just one part okay then he gets up in the uh morning and he's going to go to get a hundred bags of cement and he passes keels and kills has a hundred bags of cement at 100 rupees per kilo i'm just i don't know okay then he goes to cargills and cargill has cement at 75 rupees a kilo and our iniquity is he wanted to buy cement but now he start looking at the prices and then arbico is doing at 50 rupees a kilo and then he's like now the church is that whole idea has got dampened why because of iniquity in the heart you see now it's is it 75 100 or 50 now which one which one is it and now he's talking to his secretary he's talking to his advisors he's talking to his board about 100 bags of cement that he taught in the morning i'll give the church okay and after about one week he's still not bought the cement because now he's wondering whether the price is right you see those are iniquities like no one knows but finally the cement gets to the church after about two weeks but it's a 50 rupee cement because it was a better deal and just a slightly slightly lower quality but you know that's okay but you know pastor doesn't need what is passing in very good symmetry those are iniquities you see the old testament had a lot to deal with iniquities okay and then transgressions transgressions are very simple things but the whole book of leviticus is due to transgressions transgender is like you go to a funeral and you touch the corpse and you come back someone sneaks on you and says buddy i saw you at a funeral you touch the cops where's the sacrifice those are the transgressions you got it so sin was just like a very simple thing so they put all that together and he said sin in the new testament which the greeks knew what they were talking about but christians unfortunately after that the european christian church after that they put sin after augustine as sin means adultery fornication all this that's all rubbish okay the bible talks about it selfish ambition that all that and they talk about all that you know impatience when bible talks about when he explains it you see impatience is also a scene selfish ambition is him huh then we're all in trouble you see because it's dealing with all those things put together so when they talk sin in the new testament it's all those things and actually the word sin is hamataya which simply means it came you know the first person who actually bought the concept of sin in is aristotle aristotle bought the word hamataya the bible got it from him he was 500 600 years before these guys were writing so he's writing to greeks so they have to use the same language that they were using so he's talking of aristolian concept of hamathaya which means a wrong judgment for the hero in the story who will cause him to now falter or make a big mistake you understand that that means the hero is about to make have victory and then he makes the wrong judgment he gets diverted and it's a disaster hamataya wrong judgment error in your judgment so someone someone called them missing the mark okay so that's the concept of sin in the new testament you have to understand it it wasn't like today when the bible pastor says you're a sinner they say you're a sinner they're looking at adultery drinking too much and all this kind of stuff but all the iniquities are still the same with him and everyone else no one is dealing with that but they're focusing on a very tiny aspect of the jewish paradigm a very small ratio of the jewish paradigm they've put it all in one word called sin you got it now we have to look at all the full paragon translations when you look at the translations you'll understand why i do biohacking when you understand iniquity you'll understand why i teach a lot about the mind okay so i'm setting you up for this now that's why if you in turn in one correlation is two it says it like this okay where are we here we are okay what's 16. one corinthians 2 was 16. but the natural man does not receive the things of the spirit of god but the natural man does not receive does not receive the things of the spirit of god for they are foolishness to him nor can he know them we'll stop there for a moment and see but the natural man does not receive the things of the spirit of god for their foolishness to him nor can he know means intimately know them okay is he talking about a sinner here like how the church says or is he talking about just a natural man do you understand that that means a lot of people when things bad things happen to them they come to church and they give you a confession and say but you know i've lived a good life i've not sinned how is this happening to me because buddy sin is a very small aspect of it i rather you have sinned and not done the rest of the stuff because the rest of the stuff is what they focus on a lot if you talk sins it's very simple you can say sins in five but it says seven deadly sins game over seven deadly sins don't commit the seven deadliest i don't know enough you are committing to testimony sins greed is one of them no oh no but everybody's trying to say but you won't have 615 commandments 615 commandments if they were dealing with seven deadly sins do you understand that they are dealing with transgressions iniquities stuff that can really kill you now do you understand that that's why i'm trying to explain this to you because we are dealing with the self-man the natural man sometimes he's sinning okay sometimes he's transgressing sometimes he's inequitizing i don't know how that's right okay right i don't know what it is right okay but a natural man does not receive the things of the spirit of god for their foolishness to him nor can he know them i want you to think about yourself and you think about the things that i'm busy with sometimes you walk into my house and you see me picking up a bottle uh putting my hand on a fire talking about charging phone batteries and you might think it this is me what the heck is this guy involved with it can be just foolishness to you you understand because the natural man does not receive the things of the spirit nor can he know that what is very nor can he know you cannot know those things those are open up when you understand it's not to do with your sin or whether you are doing the right thing the wrong thing whether you're eating from the tree or knowledge of a good evil we are living a life that is sinless who cares it's nothing to do with that guy it's to do with a natural man can be a self-righteous saint but still if he's just a natural man and most these people who are doing all the right things are just natural most of these people who are doing all the right things they're just they're doing all the right things with their religion is telling them and every religion tells them certain things but still he's a natural man you understand that because he's not understood the things of the spirit are not for not the not sinners it's for the spiritual man okay and that's why it's so important but the natural man does not receive the things of the spirit of god for their foolishness to him nor can he know them like sometimes i tell people i think this is the way i submit to you i think this is the way uh the kingdom and the bible says that we should uh deal with our finances or we should run our companies like this and i don't force anyone but i say you know this is my submission to you i spend all day you know dealing with angels and playing with fire and uh picking up things you know uh i might know a few things that natural men don't know okay and maybe you're running your company in this way it might be a bit you know a bit off or you're the way you're doing your business you need to really look at it or the way you're handling your marriage you need to really look at it okay because i'm dealing with the natural man okay not the not sinner but i'm kirby i don't sin kirby i do everything for the church but you might still be a natural man now do you understand it the problem is the natural man okay the problem is the natural man that's what i'm trying to say let's get ourselves off if you're watching me from abroad get let's get ourselves a self-righteous horse it doesn't matter how much you give it doesn't matter how you don't swear it doesn't matter that you don't say bad words really it doesn't matter it was a very very small ratio in the old testament when he talks about his whole body of sin very small ratio you rather be saying bad words and deal with your natural man really i'm serious about it because some of the words are not so bad actually okay so all right you rather look at the way you're thinking the way you're dealing with certain things you might be dealing with those things in the natural and the things that of the spirit are foolishness like i always get it but how do we be successful but how does that happen and like i tell people if you want to get healed like don't worry about it just so sometimes if people are sick i'll say one of the people would come to me and i mean not being insensitive but people who who are literally under can can be dying come to me and i ask the questions and recently someone brought her dad and uh he said i said what are you frightened off he said i'm trying to die i said why are you fighting now you taught your christian are you afraid you're dying you should be able to die tomorrow and you look at me like i came to you for healing but you can't get healed unless you don't control what's going on in your life if you're suffering of something today but it's sickness disease financial marriage relationship whatever it is that's coming to you that very problem is your salvation because that is coming to you so that that natural man dies you understand it by the spirit he's put into death the natural man okay and so we can resist it and you can put force on it and you can control it and you can actually for a season submit it okay and for a season you'll be like pass again on development i sorted it out and i got that as well but i started in english to listen to us like uh kirby told me this but you know what i didn't have to do it that way i got it i went i called so and so much and i did this i did that i said wow fine this minister called and that means the call and we got it done we got it done we got this ordered out okay fine but next year again not to fight with another guy same problem same situation how do we get there it's because there is something in us iniquity in us iniquity in us that something external comes to us so that we can sort the iniquity out like if you're afraid of poverty guess what's going to come to you so many times before you are successful business crashing business crashing business crashing business crashing and every time it's crashing you have to deal with it with a better smile a bigger smile bigger smile bigger smile finally you're laughing when your business crashes and then you're free you understand it if you're if you're afraid of coronary virus or or sickness or disease you're gonna get sick you won't get sick you're gonna sick till finally you can say damn i don't care if i die tomorrow man i'm gonna leave for god and you say i'm gonna live for god the sickness goes away when you can wake up with that sickness with a smile on your face okay and you're rejoicing and bouncing off counting it a joy believe me i'm telling you healing happens okay if you're a situation with your relationships same situation i remember the time i fought with fiona i was explaining it to two friends of mine uh yesterday i fought with fiona and at that time i was a violent human being and fiona was i mean i i mean it's the rise of the she so i can tell you that she was equal to me [Laughter] she was she was equal to me and i realized this equality went down in that way with violence that someone could die and at this time of course i was a bit biased and i thought i was stronger than her and i thought i could kill her and i remember at that time i was driving towards zwarte after pulling out i was i won't go into the story this is this forget it okay i was going to water okay because i'm god saved me in many many ways and he saved my neighbor as well from death so i was i was driving on my way to uh wattella and uh i was thinking in my head i'd go back home and i would say if i go back home this force and this force it's just come in and who who am i bringing out and bringing out the best of me in fiona and she's bringing about the best of her you know that guy that ego guy you know and i thought if i go back home now and we go on like this someone's gonna die you know so i decided you know what god if this is real i'm going to die before i get home and how i'm going to do that is i'm going to say it's going to be just a one-way street and whose way is that going to be her way it's only going to be her way and i thought and believe me if you knew at that time it would be hell okay it would be hell okay so at that point of time yeah and so at that point in time i'm going back thinking that's fine like jesus hanging on a cross not so bad but by now i've i've forced myself i've i've kicked myself on the cross and into hell and it's like god raised me up and so i go get home and when i get home fiona is fiona said i don't know what happens without but on while you were away the lord spoke to me and he told me and she started to say me the same thing she said she he told me that um you know if you go on like this it's gonna happen from 2d onwards i will do anything you say and i was like no no that's not the way it works i'm going to do anything you say okay i don't care what he's right or wrong i'm just going to follow you then like no no no it's the other way around and so now this contest is constantly going on but it's been so many years nearly uh over 20 years and this contest still goes on it's in your way or my way and i'm saying it's your way and she's saying it's my way okay it's called bliss okay now so when i died by the spirit we put today the diesel body the resurrection happened okay guys i don't have to tell you this is not new to you you know that this is true you look at it anywhere any part of your life that you have been successful who changed you changed there was no point of time that the other person changed in the business deal that the person in change in the marriage the other person changed first i'm saying first in anything that you did the other person didn't change you change and then you saw the change tell me that's not true come on tell me that's not true in any situation if you're even sick you decide so what i'm going to be happy i don't care when i'm sick i'm just going to be happy and i'm just going to leave my life then you find the right doctor you've written find the right medicine there's a new drug that has come out something happens and all things start working together because you died so this is the way of the cross there is no other way this bible talks about now watch this okay verse 15. so it says here but the natural man does not receive the things of the spirit of the spirit of god for they are foolish to him nor can he know them because they are spiritually discerned but he who is spiritual listen carefully judges all things i love this one yet himself is rightly judged by no one isn't that cool that means when you are spiritual you are not judged by contemporaries and people and all these things even when they judge they don't get it right but if you are carnal and natural then the spiritual realm judges you just understand the spiritual realm is judging you we know carnal and natural judgment means now you're pushing against the force so it brings the exact force till you allow it to happen the key about the ego again i'm going to remind you and i'm going to speak a lot about this is just allowing it to happen the natural man controls it manipulates it wants to change okay always wanting to control it do something about this thing the spiritual man is just there unmoved just watching it and then suddenly as you're gazing at it it gets unveiled and the whole thing changes that's always how it happens you just focus on yourself you don't focus on the external you focus on yourself and the external changes okay so here it is in verse 16. i love this one here for who has known the mind of the lord that that he may instruct him but we have the mind of christ you see there you have the mind of christ the mind of man the natural man and then there is the mind of christ so he says the spiritual man has a completely different mind which is called the mind of christ and we're going to talk a lot about the antichrist in this series okay now we're going to go into one more verse and we'll stop there uh what can that be um let's try one peter let's try one peter five it might be that romans eight which one do you prefer romans eight or one periphery which one romans 8 okay roman said yeah someone said okay let's look at roman's 8 okay romans 8. romans 8 goes up like this okay in romans 7 just before the before it ends it goes like this so then with the mind okay that's in verse 24 okay so with the mind i myself served law of god and with the flesh the law of sin okay so again we have what mind of christ okay so it says here now with the mind i'm going to serve the law of god okay that's what law is what god is saying the spiritual life or with the flesh which is the ego mind i will serve the law of sin okay that's what he's saying there and then it says it here there is therefore no condemnation for those who are in christ jesus okay who walk not according to the flesh the word flesh day sucks that body and mind who walk not according to the flesh but according to the spirit you see so now when we live our lives i am crucified with christ nevertheless i live the life that i now live is the life of christ the zoe life of christ i no longer live the ego doesn't live so now when i'm walking now i'm walking in the spirit and i'm not walking in the ego flesh that's what it means so i want you to understand this that the previous verse discussed the natural man the flesh man he didn't say the man who is sinning this is so important that you get this so don't look at this man of flesh and say oh this man is adultery fornication murder all that no no this just means the flesh flesh means like you and me or you can have the mind of the spirit the mind of christ now listen carefully okay now verse five are you gonna are you gonna hear this verse five for those who live according to the flesh okay listen carefully to live according to flesh set their minds on things of the flesh but those who live according to the spirit the things of the spirit okay so so simple if you live according to the flesh your mind is according to the flesh that means it is the natural thing you live in the natural realm okay but if you want to live according to spirit your mind has to be set on the spirit it's uh repentance the word repent is a really really nice word and the word repent just means come back to the higher place the higher mind okay if you want to use that word that's a beautiful word i know a lot of people in new age use it but let me use it here repentance means come back to the higher mind come back to the higher pay repent repent means high okay come back higher so when he says repent for the dominion of king is here it means you're about to lose your authority and dominion because you are still in the flesh mind so repent means come back to the higher mind and think from the higher mind in fact collagen says set your mind on things above and not the things of the earth okay the bible says you know take no care or worry of what you're going to eat drink or wear but tell me honestly where it was your mind today tell me honestly why did you come to church today simple why did you come to church today and you see that our minds are not on the things of the spirit you understand that so he says set your mind on the things about and he says don't take any care take no thought of what you're going to eat drink or wear but seek ye first justice and dominion of a king you see completely different actually let me go to one peter i was going to go there and we'll stop with this one peter 5. you know i'm going to do that to you know sneaky okay one period of five i think he's one period five let me let me get it here this is the this is really nice so i'm going i'm going to uh preach it to you like right now we think the proud and i've taught this so many years ago we thought that proud means you got some money you are successful and you're walking around being proud right that's what you think right let's put one peter 5 verse 5 up there and let's see what they look where the bible and the greeks say proud what are they saying likewise you younger people submit yourselves to your elders yes all of you be submissive to one another and be clothed with humility is it there now listen carefully why god resists the proud but gives grace to the humble now when you say god which is proud i know it's an anthropomorphic uh sort of mindset that we all have we think that god is looking down from his throne and looking at the proud and resistant and proud he's not doing that the algorithms are set up in the earth to humble the proud okay and now we're going to see what proud is okay are we ready to see what proud is okay god raises the proud but gives grace grace means all things work together no matter what the situation looks like the whole creation response the fire is also not burning you okay the whole creation is responding to you okay so that's the humble right so god this is the proud give grace to humble therefore now humble yourself under the mighty hand of god that he may exalt you in due time is it there now watch the pride okay here's the problem casting all your cares upon him for he cares for you now do you just get that i explained it in the last service when they said that adam fell and his eyes were closed and they said that he was set out with to go out with toil and labor the word toile is worrisomeness you understand it his cares his worries his his his inability to see goodness jesus hanging on the cross and says get me out of here i can't hang you any longer that's what it means you see so he says therefore humble yourself undermine the hand of god how do you humble yourself casting your worries and your cares on him did you just get that so how do you how do you humble yourself so what is proud when you're worried and we say people say no worried not like worried like that what it means when you're victimized every situation is a problem constantly having some situation constantly dealing with the natural realm and can't deal with it in peace in love you know in a way that is christ-like having the mind of christ therefore humble yourself under my hand of god because he resists the proud is it there and he gives grace to the humble so therefore casting all your cares upon him for he cares for you now listen carefully be sober be vigilant because your adversary and i love this word adversary and talk a lot about it in the series your adversary the devil walks a lot around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour resist him steadfast in faith knowing listen carefully again i'm saying knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brothers in all the world did you just see it there okay some people call me they have a problem okay and i'm talking to them about the problem and this is what i call body consciousness and the whole world revolves around their problem and on that day i've been to a funeral i buried the dead i prayed for the sick i've had people who are absolutely dying you know that i've ministered to but one person can't see anything else but their problem that's the biggest problem in the world you have to understand a pastor's life because he sees problems every single day every day is a problem every day is a problem now here's the thing he says don't you know that your brothers are going through the same thing that you're going through no matter what the problem is there's someone in the world maybe in your own church who's going through a worse problem who's gone through a birth problem so hey guys don't be proud don't be self-conscious don't be self-absorbed you see you say he says hey just don't be proud cast your cares your worries your burdens onto him humble yourself because otherwise the devil uses that pride to resist you you understand that so the ego man is just a natural man like i said before like i started you'll be surprised you never thought that worrying anxiety i'm getting a panic attack can be just fried okay do you understand that okay and the bible doesn't is not talking of sin did i show you one place here where he says use adulterer you fornicator you're you you anything no i didn't i showed you that it's the natural man the egocentric paradigm that goes through the resistance the conflicts the problems and my god all we have to do before the world humbles you humble yourself how do you humble yourself by being on that cross looking at the woman in front of you in on the cross and says and then he remembers and he says you know um mom behold your son looking at the situation and says father i forgive them for the know not what to do and in fact he starts quoting and singing the psalms you see completely different paradigm paul and silas in prison what did they do they sang psalms unto the lord they praised when they were in trouble what who is that a humble man a humble man is a man who says you know what i have no control of these things you know these things are happening to me i have no control i'll try my best to do this and do that and all that but at the end of the day you know what i'm going to leave my life i'm going to be happy i'm going to be kind i'm going to be affectionate i'm going to still love through the trials and guess what if i die i die if i don't die god will raise me up you got it okay that's the man without the self the ego now i know some of you want me to pray for you after the meeting [Music] and i want to but you need to question yourself ask yourself are we a mature church are we a mature church guys you know uh shanta said something wonderful last time he said kirby i came to the meeting i had a problem with my knee and i came and i was going to ask you to pray but i forgot last sunday to call for a prayer line so uh he said you didn't call it prayer airlines so i was going to come behind you and ask you to pray but i thought no i won't ask you to pray because i'm going to sort this out and i still shanta that's awesome okay that's awesome but i'm there if you need me to pray i am always there but i'm so glad that you have the power inside of you to be able to say that because this church is about maturing you for you to look at your problem in a new way your perspective on every situation needs to change believe me if your perspective changes everything changes the whole bible is about seeing looking observing constantly continuously because believe me i tell you you observed wrong and i observe rob constantly we are seeing it from a completely different place we are seeing it from an egocentric nervous victimized angry bitter place and because of that we never see it right but as we change our perspective even if it's the most devastating news change your perspective believe me last year we had devastating news okay i've had people die in my arms last year but not one time did i see fiona or myself get into a victimized situation about anything that happened we were able to come minister and go forward with a smile on our face because we understand that the mysteries of god will be revealed for the mature to whom much is given much is required you want to do great things for god then hey guess what there are giants in the land okay and we're going to handle each one of them in the right way just like caleb and joshua did okay guys so we bless you we've started the series the ego man keep listening it's going to be awesome i promise you it will change your life the next day is the sunday message but it's going to be it's going to be together [Music] you
