TRANSCRIPT
========================================
So, the Trump war, the Iran war, oh my god, he's killing Iranians. US soldiers are dying. It really doesn't matter whether or not you are right or wrong on political issues. God did not place here to obsess over political issues. It really doesn't matter. People die every day. It's a fallen world. Satan rules the world. What you can do is go help at a nursing home. Get out of debt. Get in good shape. Live for others. Study the seals, the church ages, the message, the Bible. Politics is so uh it is so appealing because it gives you a sense of belonging and purpose. And it actually grabs the same part of your brains that activate when you're passionate about the word of God. Except you don't actually have to be accountable in order to be right politically. If you're wrong politically, doesn't really matter. If you're right, it doesn't really matter what is wrong or right politically. But with the word of God, it's different. You're held to standard. You're not able to please your flesh. Your flesh loves politics because it gets fed through the conflict. Just like the the fictional god Aries who who uh thrives on conflict. He's only powerful when there's conflict. That's how your flesh is. It loves the conflict. It loves the rightness of it. Oh, the Jews are terrible. Oh, the Jews are amazing. Oh, Trump is I didn't vote for this. Oh, he's just finishing his job. We're America. We causing it doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter. It's intellectuals. It's logic. It's politics. It's the devil's world. Both sides are corrupt as can be. The only reason we would vote for someone like Trump is because they align with biblical uh stuff. So, it's not even the person you're voting for, it's that you don't want babies to die and you want to keep your guns. You know, normal biblical things. Uh so, like you do whatever you want. You're an American as a Christian. It is not helpful. It does not help you to obsess over political issues. It is a distraction. It gives you the feeling of doing something important without the responsibility of saving souls. They already have people doing that stuff. As a as a Christian, as a son or daughter of God, we have no place to try to to try to be sovereed. Like if you know more about the American Iran war than you do about the seven seals and you wonder why you feel so depressed and lonely. Oh my god, what do you expect? The what is the message? It is not a set of doctrines to follow or rules to live by. It is a reintroduction to the person of Jesus Christ. What is the Bible? It is not a set of doctrines to do or a set of rules or a bunch of regulations. It is a person. It is a love story to his bride. It is for you to know Jesus Christ. When you are in Christ and you have the grace of God in you, you do what you want to do because nothing you do can take you out of a rapture or heaven. But the difference is what you want has changed. Not because you don't want to. you, oh, if I get it wrong, I'll miss a rapture. No, it's because you want Jesus Christ because of the value. Knowing about the message of the hour, knowing about the Bible, knowing the person of Jesus will always be more valuable than knowing politics. If you know politics a lot, you pretty much know how Satan's kingdom works. When you get to know politics, there's no person that buddies up to you except Satan. But when you get to know Jesus Christ, when you study the word of God, when you pray, when you study the um the message, God talks to you. The the the Bible me the Bible is the only book where the author dies for the reader. The message is the only thing the Bible is the only thing where when you read it, you get to know the author and he gets to know you and you get divine revelation which comes from study. So why am I not all all versed up like, "Oh, I'm American. Oh, this this Iran war. Oh, Israel's evil. Oh, Israel's okay. It because it does matter. There's people at the nursing home that depend on me. There's people on the podcast that I'm working on a big project on the side. That actually matters. But whether or not Donald Trump is justified to bomb Iran does not matter eternally. This is a fallen world. So, if you obsess over politics, you wonder why you're so upset all the time. is because that's the only thing you can do is be upset. There is no solution that'll make everything okay in politics. You make things a little better, has its place and everything, but this is a fallen world. We're never going to get to a place where there are no more deaths before the rapture or no more abortions or no more wars. That's not how that works. It's going to get worse and worse. We already know that. So, I hope this has helped. Get to know Jesus. you be happy. Know Jesus Christ, not politics, not not the wars. Get to know Jesus Christ and you will feel better because you will be better. Love you guys.
