Father and Son and Holy Spirit 
forever. 

3
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:06,800
Amen. 
Glory be to the Everlasting

00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,200
mercies which sent you to us. 
Oh, Christ the light of the

00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:15,000
world and the life of all give

fulfill your Commandments at 
every hour.

00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:29,000
O you who enlightens the 
rationale with the knowledge of 

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
your greatness? 
He's doin light O My Lord. 

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,400
Our thoughts that we made 
meditate upon your holy and 

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,900
divine scriptures at all times. 
Oh Lord of all Father and Son 

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,600
and Holy Spirit forever. 
Amen. 

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,000
Double-edged sword.

presented by father, jonard 
Lazar father. 

16
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,000
Jernard is a parish priest of 
the mud edit Parish of the 

17

Assyrian Church of the East and 
Turlock California. 

18
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,400
Here's father jernard a suggest 
the topic by one of our 

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,000
listeners was becoming a vessel 
of reconciliation. 

20
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,100
I mean after all we are the 
children of God. 

21
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:32,500
According to Galatians chapter 
3, verses 26 to 27, through our 

22
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:36,700
faith in Jesus Christ in our 
baptism and according to 

23
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:43,800
Matthew, 5:9 one of our many 
obligations is to be makers, of 

24
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,700
Peace blessed. 
Are they says, the Lord who make

25
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:52,100
peace for, they will be called 
the children of God and Saint. 

26
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,600
John chrysostom comments on this
verse, he writes, Here. 

27
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,500
Jesus not only response that 
they meaning, the disciples and 

28
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:03,300
us should not Feud and become 
hateful to one another. 

29
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:07,500
But he's also looking for some 
months, something else and 

30
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:11,800
something more that we bring 
together others who are feuding.

31
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,800
And again, he goes on, he 
promises a spiritual reward. 

32
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,300
What kind of a reward is it that
they themselves Shall be Called 

33
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:24,100
children of God. 
For, in fact, this was the 

34
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:28,700
crucial Of the only begotten to 
bring together things divided 

35
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:32,600
and to reconcile the alienated 
Saint John chrysostom. 

36
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,500
The question can be presented in
many ways, ways that can reflect

37
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:41,700
the significance of being a 
vessel of reconciliation ways 

38
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:45,900
that highlight the obligatory 
factor of being a vessel of 

39
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:50,900
reconciliation and one of those 
being, how do I continue and 

40
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:55,600
live my title as a child of God?
Good or better? 

41
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,500
Still, how do I become like the 
only begotten Son of God. 

42
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:03,500
Who reconciled us to God when we
were his enemies? 

43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Second Corinthians 5:18 but 
let's just keep this discussion,

44
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,800
according to the initial request
and question. 

45
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,900
So to begin with, to become a 
vessel of reconciliation, we 

46
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:20,900
need to place ourselves. 
That is our minds, our hearts, 

47
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:25,700
our intentions, our aim, our 
purpose, our bodies, and our 

48
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:32,300
souls into the all, sanctifying 
all righteous path of God, to be

49
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:36,100
directed, according to his will 
not ours, according to God's 

50
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:39,300
perfect will and his wisdom and 
his power. 

51
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,400
We need to have the same Love 
and Desire and intention. 

52
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:51,700
As did Christ The Glorious 
reconciler through whom God the 

53
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:55,400
Father reconciled us onto 
himself again. 2nd Corinthians 

54
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,400
5:18. 
Why? 

55
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,100
Because so God loved the world. 
John 3:16. 

56
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:11,200
We need to First possess We need
to value and nurture the type of

57
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,500
love that is found in 1st 
Corinthians, Chapter 13, Verse 

58
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:20,700
6, the love that, possesses the 
quality of not rejoicing in 

59
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:27,300
evil, but rejoices in the truth.
You see, beloved. 

60
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,200
It is evil that Brothers and 
Sisters in Christ or biological 

61
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,100
brothers and sisters are not at 
peace with each other. 

62
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,000
And at times over the most pity 
and puny of things. 

63
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:45,100
And at times, even enemies, just
as it is evil or it was evil as 

64
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:48,500
when man and God became enemies 
in the Garden of Eden. 

65
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:53,200
Why why did we become the 
enemies of God? 

66
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,600
Because the righteousness 
Holiness of God could not be at 

67
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,400
odds with the evil and corrupted
nature of men. 

68
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,500
So there was animosity and that 
is evil. 

69
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,500
What goodness is there in enmity
and animosity and hatred? 

70
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:14,600
We need to determine an 
acknowledge that that which is 

71
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,700
good and that, which is evil. 
And this commands, this 

72
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:23,600
knowledge commands in the Garden
of Eden when Adam and Eve ate 

73
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,800
from the Tree of the knowledge 
of Good and Evil. 

74
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,100
So off the bat, we need to 
discern. 

75
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:34,300
If it's a good thing or it's an 
evil thing for brothers and 

76
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:39,700
sisters friends, family 
relatives neighbors to be at 

77
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:44,600
each other's throats. 
When we determine if it is good 

78
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,800
which is not. 
Obviously then there were in 

79
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,600
danger but when we acknowledge 
that note that that is evil, 

80
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:56,600
then we can take our first step 
to be that vessel of 

81
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:02,600
reconciliation to bring peace. 
We need to call good good. 

82
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,600
Isaiah 5:20. 
Whoa, why in there soon 

83
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,800
language? 
Why Allah when Jesus says in the

84
00:06:11,808 --> 00:06:16,000
Bible says, Whoa, We need to be 
very careful and very cautious. 

85
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,200
We're in danger. 
Woe to those who call evil good 

86
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,600
and good evil, and put light for
darkness and darkness for light,

87
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,500
and put bitter for sweet and 
Sweet for bitter. 

88
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,700
We need to acknowledge, we need 
to recognize the good. 

89
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,800
All the evil in one relationship
that we're trying to be a vessel

90
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,200
of reconciliation. 
We need to sacrifice, if need be

91
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:47,900
sacrifice our reputation. 
So if you right at this moment, 

92
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:50,100
you're thinking uh, there's a 
lot. 

93
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:54,800
You know, the onus is truly on 
the person that wants to be that

94
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,200
vessel of sacrifice of 
reconciliation. 

95
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,400
Amen to that, you know, Jesus 
just didn't just come down from 

96
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,000
heaven and said, blew his his 
his holy o life. 

97
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,300
Giving breath and said you're 
all reconciled. 

98
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:08,200
No, he had to go to the Cross, 
you know? 

99
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:15,500
When when Saint Paul says the 
cross even the cross, that's 

100
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:18,900
when he says Untold death even 
until the death of death of the 

101
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:22,900
Cross is trying to emphasize 
that the cross was a sign of 

102
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:26,600
suffering. 
A sign of ridicule, a sign of 

103
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:32,000
pain, a sign of unrighteousness.
So when we want to become a 

104
00:07:32,008 --> 00:07:35,600
vessel of reconciliation, we 
need to be prepared to sacrifice

105
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,300
reputation, favoritism 
friendship and it's at times. 

106
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:43,400
Even Kingsman sheep, you know, 
families and relatives. 

107
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,100
What I mean, is calling a spade,
a spade, regardless of who that 

108
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:53,600
person is when trying to bring 
peace and Reconciliation, you 

109
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:59,400
see, Christ was not accepted by 
his own relatives. 

110
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:06,000
We read in Mark chapter 3, verse
21 and all his relatives heard 

111
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,900
and they went out to take hold 
of him. 

112
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,900
For they were saying he has gone
out of his mind relative, not 

113
00:08:13,900 --> 00:08:16,600
families relative. 
There's a difference between a 

114
00:08:16,608 --> 00:08:20,600
relative and a family member has
asthma will be a tutor. 

115
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,700
So Christ was not expect 
accepted by his own relatives, 

116
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:29,600
why? 
Because he was speaking the 

117
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,200
truth. 
So we need to be truthful as 

118
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,400
well. 
Not show partiality at all. 

119
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:41,200
Just as there is no partiality 
with God. 

120
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,299
We read in Romans chapter 2, 
verse 11. 

121
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:48,000
We need to have the same 
feelings for both the victim and

122
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,800
the victimizer. 
You see the prodigal son, when 

123
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,800
The Prodigal Son returned, and 
the father received them by the 

124
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,000
way, the father didn't say to 
the prodigal son, I'm sorry, 

125
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,600
son, there is nothing. 
I have to repay for what you've 

126
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,700
done. 
I have someone has to repay for 

127
00:09:08,700 --> 00:09:12,100
what you have done. 
The damage you've caused the 

128
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:14,000
relationship broken? 
Is that you've caused? 

129
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,400
No, he didn't. 
He embraced him. 

130
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,500
And and and and the father had 
the same love for the prodigal 

131
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:23,800
son. 
Just as the same love for the 

132
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,900
son, that was obedient. 
And yet. 

133
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:30,000
Yes, he says to the older Elder 
son, everything that I have is 

134
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,900
yours, but he did the same with 
her prodigal son. 

135
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:38,200
So, we need to have the same 
feelings, for both the victim 

136
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,100
and the victimizer. 
We need to have love compassion.

137
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:49,800
Understanding, we need to be 
ready to listen, more than we 

138
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,300
speak. 
James 1:19. 

139
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:55,000
Our next episode is about taming
the tongue, and we're going to 

140
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,800
look at this. 
We need to be prepared to 

141
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:03,300
listen, not to make a partial 
judgment judgment in partiality.

142
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,300
And in haste, we need to listen 
at times. 

143
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,500
We need to absorb and we need to
think about ponder about the 

144
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:14,700
situation, you know, for three 
years, Jesus was on Earth, 

145
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:18,200
praise and glory, be to his name
with three years, he was in 

146
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,000
communication with his father in
communication with man as well. 

147
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,100
And the process of Reckless 
reconciliation took three years 

148
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:32,500
and it was completed on the 
cross, the sacrifice that I was 

149
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:37,300
talking about and he listened, 
he would listen to everyone. 

150
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:40,700
He would entertain everyone's 
complain. 

151
00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:44,200
And even those who came to 
attack to oppose him, he would 

152
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,400
listen. 
And then he would speak. 

153
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,300
When Christ was captured, You 
know, one of the traditions and 

154
00:10:51,308 --> 00:10:55,700
one of the father's rights that 
from the point that Christ was 

155
00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:59,000
captured, he spoke no more. 
It was as though he was a 

156
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,200
sacrifice lamb. 
So that's how they count the 

157
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,700
three days that he was 
resurrected on the third day, 

158
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:09,000
when Christ was captured 
captured and brought to the 

159
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,100
tribunal. 
He didn't say much that he, he 

160
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:14,500
was listening. 
He didn't say much. 

161
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:17,100
It was very quick to hear, but 
slow to speak. 

162
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:19,000
Why? 
Because he was a short, he knew,

163
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,900
Was going to happen. 
He knew the ridicule that he had

164
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:25,200
to receive and accept, but he 
knew the glory that was 

165
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,400
awaiting. 
Him was a resurrection, was 

166
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,300
victory over death, Satan and 
sin. 

167
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,000
We need to be able to soothe. 
And be cautious. 

168
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,800
Not to aggravate sometimes when 
we want to bring peace and be 

169
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:49,000
that mediator the, the tribunal,
we put our foot in it, we make 

170
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,700
things worse. 
We go in the, the intention that

171
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:57,200
we have, the AIM that we have, 
we go in there, through our 

172
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,800
mind, our own thoughts, our own 
understanding, our own power as 

173
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,900
opposed to resorting to God's 
understanding knowledge and 

174
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:05,700
power. 
And right. 

175
00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:09,300
Is this? 
Proverbs chapter 15 verse verse 

176
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:14,800
1. 
Quotes a swole, a soft word 

177
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,100
turns away anger and a hard word
arouses Wrath. 

178
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:24,800
We need to have the mindset of 
Jesus Christ. 

179
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:27,100
As I said, previously is very 
important. 

180
00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:31,100
We need to Value, peace and 
Reconciliation. 

181
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,800
We need to understand that when 
there is no peace, no 

182
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,100
reconciliation. 
And there is, as I said 

183
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:42,800
animosity, it is evil. 
God is not pleased, God is not a

184
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,400
piece and does not take any joy 
in animosity. 

185
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,100
Family breakups, friendship, 
being split and hatred. 

186
00:12:55,700 --> 00:13:01,700
And confusion and hurt. 
Because for God for God so loved

187
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:04,500
the world that he gave up his 
only begotten, son. 

188
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,600
That's the mindset we need to 
have. 

189
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,100
And yes just when you thought 
that I'll be has forgotten his 

190
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:14,600
cliché. 
Here it is praying. 

191
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:18,600
We need to be prayerful. 
Most importantly we need to pray

192
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:21,100
for the reconciliation of the 
two people. 

193
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:24,000
You know, we're going into a 
battle. 

194
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,100
This is the spiritual wisdom. 
Someone asked has requested that

195
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:31,200
we speak. 
About the spiritual and the 

196
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:38,100
secular world were Warfare. 
We have here is by the way, a 

197
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:42,300
dream is heated. 
Yeah, we are going into a 

198
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:45,300
spiritual battle because there 
is evil. 

199
00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:48,800
And when there is evil there is 
Satan and his demons that are 

200
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:55,400
trying to aggravate. 
Turn up the flame of evil and 

201
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,700
hatred. 
So before we try to even attempt

202
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,600
to reconcile, we must pray and 
be in that mindset in that 

203
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,400
spiritual realm, in that 
spiritual situation, where we 

204
00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:12,200
represent Jesus Christ in that 
relationship. 

205
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,700
And how do we do that? 
We need to rely only on Jesus 

206
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:19,100
Christ. 
We need to understand beloved 

207
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:26,500
that, either the victim or the 
victimizer a, both Sinners. 

208
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:33,800
They are, they are other Fallen 
broken corrupt nature and when 

209
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,600
you want to step up and make 
peace, God bless you. 

210
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:43,000
That is when we are the children
of God, but we live and we 

211
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,800
portray that that sonship with 
God when Amongst many other 

212
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,300
things perform that Commandment 
that blessing. 

213
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,700
We want the blessing. 
We want to gain the blessing. 

214
00:14:55,900 --> 00:15:00,400
Take the blessing that we truly 
become makers of peace and not 

215
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:08,100
aggravators of the situation, 
woe to those who enjoy evil woe 

216
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:11,900
to those. 
Isaiah writes who call evil good

217
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,700
and want to even flame even 
more. 

218
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,800
The, the fire of Whoa, whoa, 
whoa. 

219
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,100
To those people but blessed, 
truly blessed are those who make

220
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:24,700
peace? 
Because they become like Christ,

221
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:29,000
you know, there is one of the 
aspects of being christ-like. 

222
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,300
That's why we call ourselves 
Christians christ-like. 

223
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,900
Let me give you an example. 
Now, this, this was taken both 

224
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:42,600
ways, but personally, this is my
personal take during the the 

225
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:48,500
there's ceremony of the or 
inauguration of the new 

226
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:53,200
patriarch eight of the assume 
Church of the east in arable his

227
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,300
grace Mara's, was presenting his
speech in the Kurdish language 

228
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:00,300
because there is a lot of people
from the Kurdish government 

229
00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:05,700
there while he was speaking. 
The Islamic call to prayer Was 

230
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:10,500
Heard. 
Mara Breeze stopped. 

231
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,600
Now for many reasons, one being 
that while there is going on and

232
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,900
Mara Brazil is presenting his 
preach. 

233
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,500
His speech there would be an 
interruption and people would 

234
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,400
not understand or hear, clearly 
what maribor's talking about. 

235
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,000
But he's also taken in a good 
gesture. 

236
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:33,500
In a Christian gesture that Mara
bar has stopped talking until it

237
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:36,600
was over. 
And today I was reading some of 

238
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,300
the comments. 
It was a post that had about 50,

239
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:44,300
something thousand views and 
thousand and something comments 

240
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:48,100
and what I would read from the 
non-christians even that they 

241
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:51,900
would comment that this is the 
respect and the love and the 

242
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:54,600
peace. 
That Christians have see, there 

243
00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:00,300
it is. this is being 
christ-like, beloved Not being 

244
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:02,200
stubborn. 
We don't need to be stubborn and

245
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,900
we don't need to be always in 
competition. 

246
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:08,700
We don't need to, we just need 
to portray the love. 

247
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:12,700
The respect that Christ. 
Gave the entire world. 

248
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,200
Remember, God gave his son for 
the entire world. 

249
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:22,400
The sun is there. 
I'm sorry to say this way to bit

250
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,300
likely has the Lord had pity on 
me. 

251
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:29,000
The sun, is there for the taking
Grace. 

252
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,700
Is there for the taking? 
All we need to do is believe and

253
00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:35,700
we receive it. 
So when we want to be 

254
00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:41,800
christ-like, one of many ways is
also be makers of Peace. 

255
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,500
So right at this moment while 
you are vacuuming, and I always 

256
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:48,900
mention this while you're 
washing the dishes. 

257
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,300
Is all you're just sleeping in 
your room on your bed and just 

258
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:56,200
looking at the at the ceiling. 
And you're listening to this 

259
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,800
podcast or you're driving, be 
careful, always be cautious when

260
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,000
you're driving. 
Think about it, who do you know 

261
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,600
that are not on? 
Good terms at the moment. 

262
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,800
Maybe not enemies, but still not
on good terms. 

263
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,300
Who do you know that right? 
At this moment, our enemies at 

264
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:15,800
each other's throats locking 
horns, every time. 

265
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:22,000
Well, you are a child of God. 
You want to be blessed by the 

266
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,900
blessings that Jesus has there 
for the taking as a child of 

267
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:27,900
God. 
You know, maybe think about 

268
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:31,800
being that Peacemaker but before
you do before you take that 

269
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,500
step, go back and revisit every 
listen to this episode. 

270
00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:40,000
And then when You have prayed. 
And even faster. 

271
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,700
Because beloved as I said evil 
when you hear the word evil we 

272
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:50,100
must always remember Satan and 
his evil demons and Christ has 

273
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:52,200
commanded us. 
That when we want to attack when

274
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,600
we talk we want when we want to 
go against these demons, we need

275
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,900
to do it through prayer and 
fasting. 

276
00:18:56,900 --> 00:19:01,700
And if you're successful, praise
and glory, be to Jesus Christ. 

277
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:03,900
Don't take credit. 
You can't take correct. 

278
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:07,800
We cannot take credit for being 
the peacemakers. 

279
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,900
The only credit, Had his that 
God looks at us as his two 

280
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:12,100
children. 
Why? 

281
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:17,200
Because Jesus is the Prince of 
Peace, okay? 

282
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,300
So you're just presenting Jesus 
in that equation in that 

283
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:24,800
circumstance, but when we do 
become successful, as I said 

284
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:29,600
and, you know, the two parties 
May calm ends meet and and and 

285
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,100
they let bygones be bygones, 
then glory be to Jesus Christ. 

286
00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:37,000
Our Lord, you know, we can do 
this. 

287
00:19:37,300 --> 00:19:41,800
Why would Jesus? 
Provide this blessing, if he 

288
00:19:41,808 --> 00:19:44,200
knew that we could not do this, 
we can do it through his 

289
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,200
strength, through his wisdom, 
through his knowledge, through 

290
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,400
the righteousness. 
That is evident in the 

291
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,100
scriptures and in the church 
liturgy. 

292
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,600
So do we just stand back and 
become more aggravators? 

293
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:03,600
I got it right aggravators of 
the situation or do we become 

294
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,800
the true children of God? 
Who bring that soothing peace. 

295
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,700
So that the Peace of Jesus 
Christ. 

296
00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:14,700
Which supersedes all knowledge. 
All understanding will overcome 

297
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:19,900
and be triumphant, praise and 
glory be to God, the Father and 

298
00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:21,300
Son. 
And Holy Spirit for 

299
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,900
one last thing.
