17
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,500
voice of Lord Jesus. 
We will follow his ways, 

18

19
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,600

22
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,900
time and eat a Solomon. 
Shout out, there you go. 

23
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:58,500
He requested that I sing more 
frequently on these programs and

24
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:03,300
this one was for you and I 
remember we used to sing this 

25
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:05,800
song and we still do. 
I mean during the English 

26
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,300
Services, it is a Christian 
spiritual song. 

27
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:14,300
It Was Written in the Assyrian 
language but we translate it in 

28
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:16,600
the English language so that we 
can sing a during the English 

29
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,100
service. 
Has great to be with you and 

30
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:22,500
thank you again once again, for 
all your comments and your 

31
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:25,800
feedback truly appreciated. 
But I ask that you do, please 

32
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,500
share this podcast, we're 
getting met a lot of feedback 

33
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:32,800
now and many people are 
listening to these podcasts and 

34
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,500
always glorify God. 
Please and keep this in your 

35
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:39,000
prayer. 
There's only one purpose. 

36
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,400
And one main reason for this 
podcast is that the all 

37
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,500
sanctifying and living and 
life-giving, God is preached for

38
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:53,600
those Souls who are in darkness 
and don't know Jesus Christ and 

39
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,200
have no relationship with the 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

40
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:02,500
This is our third episode 
looking at Salt and Light. 

41
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,500
Our scripture passage was 
Matthew chapter 5 verses 13 to 

42
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:09,100
16. 
Jesus commands and instructs. 

43
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:13,000
You are, you are not. 
You can be. 

44
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:15,800
If you want to be you, maybe you
will be. 

45
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,800
You are the Salt of the earth or
the world, but if the soul 

46
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,700
becomes insipid, that means 
Bland with. 

47
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:24,200
What shall it? 
Be seasoned. 

48
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:27,500
How can you seasoned salt? 
That's what Jesus trying to tell

49
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,100
us. 
It is fit for nothing but to be 

50
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:33,100
thrown out and be trodden Under 
Foot by men. 

51
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:37,900
You are the light of the world, 
a City built upon a hill cannot 

52
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:40,900
be concealed. 
This is the third episode and 

53
00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:44,400
we're concentrating on the salt 
of the world. 

54
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:49,100
This will be our last episode on
the Sold God willing next 

55
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:51,900
episode we will look at the 
light of the world and then that

56
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:54,900
will be the end of the series. 
We will then look at all those 

57
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:58,600
topics that you have recommended
and by the power of God, the 

58
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,200
grace of God by the, the 
guidance of our Lord and the 

59
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,000
Holy Spirit, we will we will 
discuss the topics that you have

60
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,500
recommended. 
Now, let's go back to being the 

61
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:13,900
salt, we spoke about how we are 
the salt and what that means, 

62
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:17,200
what that pertains. 
How do we become, or how do We 

63
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,200
remain what I'd like to speak 
about today, is how do we 

64
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:25,100
continue to be preserved? 
You know, salt needs to be 

65
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:30,700
preserved and so that it doesn't
lose is its Savory or its Tang. 

66
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,500
So how do we continue to be 
preserved to be Savory and tangy

67
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:41,400
to the lives of others? 
The Bland spiritual lives of our

68
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:44,700
fellow brothers and sisters. 
We will refer back to one more 

69
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:47,000
time issue. 
Dad, Maori should that Bishop of

70
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:56,600
Hadith are 850 ad and he writes 
by the Sun that is s un by the 

71
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,500
sun. 
Salt is further purified, and 

72
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:05,900
shines and Glitters. 
So, just as salt is purified, by

73
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:11,100
the Sun, that is the sunlight, 
warms the salty water, which is 

74
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:15,700
then called evaporation it 
evaporates and it leaves behind 

75
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,300
a purified. 
Salt crystal, that is harvested,

76
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:22,800
and it's, it's used and it's 
sold. 

77
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:28,400
So the Sun, the Asun purifies 
the, the salt, the actual 

78
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,500
physical salt. 
We to the salt of the earth need

79
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:38,000
to be constantly under the 
impacting radiant, the impacting

80
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,000
power of the Sun, sson, the Son 
of God, the only son of God, 

81
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,600
Jesus Christ, Praise be to his 
name. 

82
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,100
God incarnate. 
So we need to be under the 

83
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:58,200
impacting radiant of the Son of 
God, and I will repeat again, 

84
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:03,600
the only son of God that is 
Jesus Christ. 

85
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,700
Who is God incarnate in order to
be purified and live in Purity. 

86
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:16,900
How can we how do we remain a 
purified salt to give taste to 

87
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:23,700
the Spiritual lives of others. 
Let's read Psalm 119 verses 7 

88
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:26,000
and 8, let's break it. 
Break it down to. 

89
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:31,500
I will give thanks unto you with
the up righteousness. 

90
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:38,700
That is honesty of my my heart. 
How when I have learnt Your 

91
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:43,000
Righteous judgments that is 
rules and verdict. 

92
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,900
So when I have learnt, these are
the Keynotes. 

93
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:50,700
I haven't And how do you learn 
you read, you study, you Ponder 

94
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:55,000
upon you research when I have 
learned Your Righteous judgments

95
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,800
that is God's rules verdicts, 
then I will give thanks to you 

96
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,600
with the up righteousness. 
That means honesty of my heart. 

97
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:10,500
I have kept your precepts, which
means your teachings, your 

98
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,400
principles, how do we learn the 
precepts and the teachings, and 

99
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,200
the principles of God by reading
The holy scriptures and in the 

100
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,800
Psalms continues to say, oh, 
forsake me not forever. 

101
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:27,900
Wherewithal that is by these 
manners on. 

102
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:32,300
These means meaning giving 
thanks in righteousness and 

103
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:37,700
learning the righteous judgments
and preserves of God wherewith. 

104
00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:42,300
Shall a man cleanse their, it is
cleanse purify his ways. 

105
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:47,000
So how do we remain purified? 
How do we remain? 

106
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:51,100
Ends is Again by giving, thanks 
to the Lord and learning his 

107
00:07:51,100 --> 00:07:54,800
precepts and being honest in our
hearts to the Lord. 

108
00:07:55,900 --> 00:08:01,100
And this way, a man can keep the
precepts and the teachings and 

109
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:04,900
the principles of God. 
So number one, as I mentioned, 

110
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:11,500
if we remain thankfully, or if 
we remain truthfully, honestly, 

111
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,100
earnestly thankful to God and 
His Son and the Holy Spirit 

112
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:19,900
giving. 
Thanks Every day, every minute, 

113
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:22,300
every breath. 
Let every breath. 

114
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:26,500
The psalmist. 
Instructs, give praise to the 

115
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:29,400
Lord regardless of our 
circumstances, and the 

116
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,799
Situation's. 
Yes, I know it's hard at times. 

117
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:38,600
It's hard for a mother seeing 
her child in pain in agony to 

118
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,799
give thanks to the Lord, but I 
don't want to go too much into 

119
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,500
that. 
But yes, if we really have a 

120
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:47,800
look at that situation, that's 
Circumstance. 

121
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,800
We will conclude that. 
Yes, we must give thanks to the 

122
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,900
Lord in the good times and the 
bad times in wealth and poverty 

123
00:08:55,900 --> 00:09:01,500
in health and in sickness in joy
and in sadness that we thank our

124
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:07,200
heavenly father that simply, he 
is our God and that he has not 

125
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,900
deserted us. 
And number two, if we are 

126
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:15,300
learned of the righteous judge, 
see this is the type this way. 

127
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:21,700
Number two, Immense number one, 
number two, is the way that we 

128
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:25,300
can reach the point and be 
confident and earnestly. 

129
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:29,400
Thank God, regardless of our 
circumstances, how if we are 

130
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,400
learn it of the righteous 
judgment, the rules, the 

131
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,200
verdicts of God, that is knowing
our responsibilities, Our 

132
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,200
obligation, our commitment to 
the will of God. 

133
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,400
How do we do this? 
Simply that our three most 

134
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,200
important ways, you know, You 
know, when you want to get from 

135
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,800
point A to point B, there are a 
few things that you need to do. 

136
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,700
Number one, set in your mind 
that you want to go from point. 

137
00:09:56,700 --> 00:10:04,200
A to point B number to find the 
most, you know, quickest way and

138
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,500
then get in the car and then 
start driving and be careful 

139
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:14,500
obviously, right? 
So if we want to, thankfully be 

140
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:16,800
truthful in our thankfulness to 
God. 

141
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,300
We need to know our 
responsibilities and obligations

142
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:22,700
and there are three ways 
praying. 

143
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:25,700
Here we go. 
Yeah there they go. 

144
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:28,900
The three cliches that the 
Christians use. 

145
00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:32,200
They're not cliches. 
These are fact you know there's 

146
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:38,400
so factual and so true that we 
continue to repeat them praying 

147
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:42,300
earnestly, reading the holy 
scriptures and fasting at the 

148
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:47,400
same time so that we know our 
responsibilities our Oceans our 

149
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,000
commitment to the will of God in
order to be thankful to him so 

150
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,900
that we can then be purified so 
that we that salt can be 

151
00:10:57,900 --> 00:11:02,800
purified under the impacting 
power of Jesus Christ. 

152
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:06,900
Now, you may ask what is the 
will of God for us Robbie? 

153
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,200
What is the will of God? 
Well, there are many many 

154
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:16,200
different instructions, but if 
we read the first Epistle of st.

155
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,800
Paul to the Millions 4:3 Paul 
goes on to say, for this is the 

156
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:28,400
will of God. 
Now, I didn't just choose this 

157
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,200
verse at hog, I think it was 
divinely inspired. 

158
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:38,000
For this is the will of God, 
your holiness. 

159
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:44,600
Holiness doesn't mean a halo 
over our heads Holiness doesn't 

160
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:52,500
simply or only mean that we 
leave a life of what is it of, 

161
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:59,900
you know, a life totally, you 
know giving up the world and 

162
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:03,100
living in isolation or Solitude.
Yeah, yes. 

163
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,100
Some people are called to that 
the the monks, the RAB bana we 

164
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:09,200
say. 
Yes, there are some people Live 

165
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,900
a life of solitude but Holiness 
means to be set apart. 

166
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,300
We are all holy. 
All those who went down in 

167
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:24,700
baptism in Christ's death. 
And then were born, Anew was 

168
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:29,100
Sanctified by the Holy Spirit, 
meaning set apart that we are no

169
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:31,500
longer of the world, we are of 
Christ. 

170
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:36,300
So whenever you read or come 
across the word Holiness, don't 

171
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:40,400
think that it's only those who 
have been Portrayed in pictures 

172
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,700
or icons at as haloes around 
their heads, no. 

173
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,800
Holiness, as I said, is setting 
apart. 

174
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:52,200
So, this is the will of your 
God, set yourself apart, set, 

175
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:58,100
your lives apart, set your 
values, apart set your purpose 

176
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:02,400
in life apart, and that you may 
be separated from oxy. 

177
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,600
They're really separate. 
Let me read it again. 

178
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,800
For this is the will of God, 
your Holiness and that you may 

179
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,700
be The separate from all 
fornication. 

180
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:21,700
When I when I came across this 
verse to, to use for this. 

181
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:25,300
For this episode, I was a little
bit intrigued. 

182
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:30,000
You have fornication, that means
having a sexual relationship 

183
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,400
outside of marriage. 
And this is not going to be 

184
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,900
about fornication. 
Hey, adultery and fornication, 

185
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,100
that's going to be a few series 
there. 

186
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:43,800
I think the most Most tasteless 
and Bland area of a spiritual 

187
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:49,300
like in which many are failing 
is their sexual activity, 

188
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:54,200
whether married or single, but 
let's not talk about that. 

189
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,900
Okay? 
So setting yourself apart is 

190
00:13:56,900 --> 00:14:00,900
it's just an example that poor 
lives giving us and the greatest

191
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:05,300
contribution factors for this 
failing. 

192
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,200
In this failing of the sexual 
activity is, I think you'll 

193
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,900
agree is that education systems 
and the film industry Hollywood.

194
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,300
You know, let me let me say it 
Point Blank Christians. 

195
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,700
Are you listening, do you 
classify yourself? 

196
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:26,100
Do you call yourself a 
Christian? 

197
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:29,000
Do you identify yourself as a 
Christian? 

198
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:31,400
Is it? 
Because if you're listening in 

199
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,100
the, in the car, is it because 
you have a cross hanging on your

200
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:39,200
rear-view mirror, is it, because
you're, you have a cross on your

201
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,800
neck, or maybe you've tattooed 
the cross on your arms or your 

202
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,200
body. 
If you're cooking or washing 

203
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,200
dishes, or vacuuming, is it? 
Because you have a cross hanging

204
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,700
on the wall at home? 
Is that how you identify 

205
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:57,900
yourself as a Christian? 
Yes, that's one way I mean but 

206
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:03,300
let me tell you Christians 
should absolutely refrain from 

207
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:08,800
R-rated and x-rated films. 
How can you become a Savory, a 

208
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,800
tasty salt in the spiritual 
lives of others? 

209
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,200
In this area. 
If you yourself are failing, how

210
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,500
can we do that? 
Hey, now, if your Sweating or 

211
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:27,200
your you're blushing. 
Now if you want to turn off the 

212
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,100
podcast and you don't want to 
listen to this anymore, don't 

213
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:33,300
don't. 
This could be and not could be, 

214
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,800
this is God speaking to you. 
This is the holy spirit. 

215
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaking to you, if this is what
we are failing within our lives.

216
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,500
There's a fasting Point Lantus 
coming up. 

217
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:49,600
Hey, maybe one of my prayer 
points and fasting points is my 

218
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,700
weakness in this. 
Ria st. 

219
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:58,100
Paul goes on to say in second 
Corinthians 7:1. 

220
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:04,000
Therefore, because we have these
promises that we are the Temple 

221
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,400
of the Holy Spirit. 
If you read second Corinthians 

222
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,600
chapter 6, you know what Paul is
talking about? 

223
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:15,500
Therefore, because we have these
promises beloved, let us purify 

224
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:22,000
ourselves from all impurity of 
the Flesh and spirit and Let us 

225
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,700
cultivate Holiness in the all of
God. 

226
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,800
This is how we become we become,
you know, the power of Christ 

227
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,000
will be impacting upon us so 
that we correct ourselves. 

228
00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:40,900
We fix ourselves, we purify our 
lives. 

229
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:47,300
So that we may be a beautiful 
tasty savoury Flavour to the 

230
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:51,400
lives of others when we live or 
simply strive. 

231
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:57,200
You know, it's very important 
that we when we say we need to 

232
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:04,200
live, we need to walk. 
That we also add or strive them 

233
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,300
and lie to live a purer life, 
because that's what Jesus says, 

234
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:13,700
Strife make every effort to 
enter the narrow gate. 

235
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,800
That means the narrow gate is 
not easy to enter. 

236
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,099
We need to strive, we need to, 
we need to struggle. 

237
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:23,200
We need to go through 
challenges, but do that. 

238
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:28,400
Now, when you're striving to 
enter the narrow gate, Christ 

239
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,100
can see that is People to the 
Lord. 

240
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:34,800
So when we leave or simply 
strive them and lie to live a 

241
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,600
purer life, under this 
transparency of Christ, we will 

242
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:46,900
truly glitter and shine. 
Even if we have not yet, reached

243
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:49,200
it as st. 
Paul says, I don't know whether 

244
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,500
I've reach, I don't know what 
I've made it, you know, for 

245
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:54,200
those who call it to ask me, are
you saved? 

246
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,300
Will you go to heaven? 
I say, you know what, I don't 

247
00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:59,000
know that yet, but one think I 
know as st. 

248
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,900
Paul says I have left everything
behind and I am focusing on the 

249
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:06,400
prize that is set for me 
focusing on Christ. 

250
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:14,200
When we do that beloved, then we
can testify to the moral life of

251
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,600
Chastity. 
And at the same time, we can 

252
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,500
then Council others on how we 
can live a purer life according 

253
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:26,800
to God's perfect and holy will 
many people. 

254
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,900
Speak to me and ask me for 
counseling. 

255
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:35,000
The first thing I try to do, see
if I ever struggled and went 

256
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,200
through what the Is going 
through and nine out of 10 

257
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,900
times. 
Yes, even during my priesthoods 

258
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,100
and then I think and and 
recount. 

259
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,000
How did I overcome that 
weakness? 

260
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:52,900
How did I overcome that 
Temptation that trial? 

261
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,600
And then I give them my counsel 
because when I do that becomes 

262
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,000
more effective. 
Because when you say to someone 

263
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,500
listen, I was there when 
someone's coming to you and 

264
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:06,600
asking you for help in this 
spiritual life. 

265
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,300
It it means they have a bland 
spiritual life and they want you

266
00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:16,600
to be that savory that Tang 
because we're all salt. 

267
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,900
You know, that person salt is 
Bland we're all salt now. 

268
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,600
And when someone's asking you to
to help and to assist and to you

269
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,100
know, testify or to witness to 
something that will or to give 

270
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:33,700
advice about something they're 
going through and you've gone 

271
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:37,500
through that, and you've 
overcome that then You can be 

272
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,400
even more effective because you 
will be so more encouraging. 

273
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,600
So more convincing because 
you've gone through there and 

274
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,800
you've done that and you've 
overcome through the impacting 

275
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,800
power of Jesus Christ. 
In your life. 

276
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,400
You can encourage, you can guide
1 to a moral and God appeasing 

277
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:03,900
life You can give hope to one 
who is struggling with example, 

278
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:12,600
fornication, adultery theft drug
abuse, you know, gossip hatred, 

279
00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:17,300
which are all moral sins. 
You know, that in moral sins, 

280
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:21,700
they are they are scenes that 
they can bring spiritual death 

281
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:25,800
and if we don't correct, and if 
we remain and leave this world 

282
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:28,900
in those sins, then the 
scriptures are very clear. 

283
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,500
We will not see the face of the 
Lord will not be in the presence

284
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:35,300
of God. 
You can give hope to one who is 

285
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:39,400
struggling with one occasion. 
You can you can steer someone to

286
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,700
a Pious life and this applies to
every aspect of life. 

287
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:49,200
So being sold, how do we remain 
that taste in the spiritual life

288
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,100
of those who is Bland there, 
they lacking in their spiritual 

289
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:55,100
life. 
No, the precepts of the Lord. 

290
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,300
Understand the righteous 
Judgment of God live that way. 

291
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:03,200
Correct yourself. 
The first and foremost we need 

292
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,900
to do st. 
Paul says, in second think 

293
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:13,200
Corinthians 13:5 test 
yourselves, that is look into 

294
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,600
yourselves. 
Stop if you can stop right now, 

295
00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:23,500
I'm not sure if you can stop. 
If you you're driving on the 

296
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:26,600
freeway don't do that. 
Maybe even pulled to one side 

297
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,300
and test yourself to see. 
Paul says to see if you are in 

298
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:38,000
the faith examine yourselves or 
do you not recognize this about 

299
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,900
yourselves that? 
Jesus Christ is in you unless 

300
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:47,700
indeed you fail the test Is 
Jesus Christ in you, are you 

301
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:52,400
reflecting the, the title? 
You have the name, you have 

302
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:58,400
Christians examine ourselves 
when we do, and we will, we find

303
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,500
faults, we find flaws. 
We find discrepancies in our 

304
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:07,000
Christian Life. 
It's not the end of the world. 

305
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,600
It's simple Christ can use you 
Christ. 

306
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,400
Can use your failure. 
Where do you fail? 

307
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,900
Well, Well, once you correct it,
once you overcome Christ will 

308
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:22,700
use your failure. 
Listen read Acts chapter 3 st. 

309
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:27,000
Peter puts it simply when he 
slams the Jews and the Jewish 

310
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,200
leaders about them crucifying, 
the only son of God and that 

311
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,200
death could not hold Christ. 
He was resurrected, you know, he

312
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,900
goes on to say no things chapter
17, that it was your ignorance. 

313
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:44,100
So God used your ignorance for 
the Salvation of the world. 

314
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:50,200
What can use your failures when 
you overcome to also help others

315
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,200
to overcome to be Savory to be 
tasty in the lives of others? 

316
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,500
Mari should add continues to say
however, when salt is hidden 

317
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:07,200
from the Splendor of the Sun. 
So let's put it in our 

318
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,600
perspective. 
When we are hidden from the 

319
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,300
Splendor of the Son of God, salt
becomes black and its skin. 

320
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:17,300
Its color. 
We become black in color and 

321
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:22,400
it's taste is spoiled and it is 
useless for the condiment that 

322
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,200
tasting of food and that which 
is so through. 

323
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:29,800
We become blind. 
I went out thrown away. 

324
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,600
People tend to steer away, 
people try to tend to avoid us, 

325
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000
they don't want to have any 
reflection, they don't want to 

326
00:23:37,008 --> 00:23:43,300
have any any relationship, you 
know, because we're not making 

327
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:47,300
any sense, we're not becoming 
that that, that save your taste 

328
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:51,300
in their lives. 
And then some, you know, Jesus 

329
00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:54,300
goes on to say, how are you 
going to be? 

330
00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:58,000
How is this salt going to be? 
Flavored, you cannot flavor 

331
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,500
yourself. 
The only thing you can do is go 

332
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:06,600
back to Christ's return back to 
Christ as the prodigal son, or 

333
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,200
the prodigal daughter, and your 
prayer point is lawed. 

334
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:15,700
Make me Tangy and tangy make me 
to be Savory, maybe to have that

335
00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:19,900
beautiful flavor, which is in. 
You reflected through me in the 

336
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:26,100
lives that are bland And how do 
we become blind? 

337
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:34,600
When Christ is not, our way 
Christ is the way the truth and 

338
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,700
the life. 
When he is not our way, we're 

339
00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:42,000
not going anywhere. 
You can continue in life but 

340
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,700
really, we're not getting 
anywhere. 

341
00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:47,900
When Christ is not the truth in 
our lives, there is really no 

342
00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:50,200
knowledge. 
We think we know it, but we know

343
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,400
nothing. 
When Christ's life is not in our

344
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,200
lives, we are dead. 
And when we are dead, how can we

345
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:04,000
be impacting on others? 
So let's close this series by 

346
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:09,000
saying that we are the salts 
Souls of the world through our 

347
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,900
faith in Jesus Christ. 
We need to be Tangy. 

348
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:19,200
We need to be that flavor in the
lives of those who are, you 

349
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,200
know, who are lacking. 
How do we do that? 

350
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,700
We need to be impacting by 
Christ. 

351
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:26,900
How do we allow Christ to be 
impact? 

352
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:28,700
Our Lives. 
We need to obey him. 

353
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,700
We need to follow him. 
We will follow Jesus. 

354
00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:33,500
We will follow Jesus. 
Hey, you know what? 

355
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,800
Thank you, Anita. 
As I said, this is divine in 

356
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,300
spite. 
We will follow Jesus. 

357
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:42,700
Because his voice is calling us,
the voice of our Lord Jesus, we 

358
00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:46,300
will follow his ways and fulfill
all his precepts. 

359
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:49,500
And when we do that, and it's 
reflected in our lives, then, 

360
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:52,100
and only, then we can be 
impacting the lives of others. 

361
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:58,000
Remember Jesus said, you are the
salt and that is quite alarming.

362
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
That means I have that gift, I 
have that calling, and if we do 

363
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,100
not fulfill, we do not use that 
gift for the glory of God, and 

364
00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:08,800
the edification of others, and 
the salvation of others. 

365
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,700
We will be held accountable, 
just like the parable of the 

366
00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:16,000
Daenerys. 
You can say, well, you know 

367
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,200
what? 
I live my own life and I 

368
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:23,900
couldn't be bothered or I wasn't
worthy so I just thought, you 

369
00:26:23,908 --> 00:26:25,300
know, let's give up, don't give 
up. 

370
00:26:25,300 --> 00:26:29,500
Never never ever give up because
Christ will never give up on you

371
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,000
or anyone who has been called by
his name. 

372
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:37,900
Oh, praise Glory and Honor be to
His holy name now and at all 

373
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:39,400
times, I'm forever indebted. 
Ever. 

374
00:26:40,200 --> 00:27:00,400
Amen.
