1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,080 This eye trick is bonkers. Lady Gaga can do it. 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,520 I'm sort of like, I always am, like wondering like, who am I? 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,720 Miley Cyrus can do it. A little dark. 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,200 This reporter can do it. See. 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,560 It look at hello. Hello. 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,800 Eminem can even do it in slow motion. 7 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,240 If you're wondering just what it is they are doing, listen to 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,200 Katy Perry's explanation. I do this pose called doll eye. 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,000 I can close one eye at a time and still like maintain all 10 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,880 functions. I've sat in a hair and makeup 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,560 chair for 15 years. If they're putting eyeshadow on 12 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,720 this eye and someone's putting my hair up into a French twist, 13 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,000 I want to give notes in real time. 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,880 But thousands of people do not believe her. 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,360 They say she lost control when this happened on live TV. 16 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,960 However, sometimes our eyes can play up for legitimate reasons, 17 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,400 like what happened to Justin Bieber. 18 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,200 As you can see, this eye is not blinking. 19 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,080 I can't smile on this side of my face. 20 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,880 This nostril will not move. And also this CNN reporter. 21 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,120 What? Happened to Aaron Burnett's eye. 22 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,440 Aaron tried to mask the problem by looking down and turning to 23 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,000 an extreme profile. Her guests expressed sympathy. 24 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,440 And by the way, your eye doesn't look too bad. 25 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,280 Oh well, it does anyway. But people are massively divided 26 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,160 on what is going on with all of these celebrities eyes. 27 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,080 In fact, even Jamie Foxx has got the Internet whispering. 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,240 But as you can see, as you can see, the eyes are working. 29 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,880 Eyes are working just fine. OK, now perhaps you're outraged 30 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,520 at what I'm suggesting, or maybe you just think this is all one 31 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,280 big coincidence. I could be wrong, but there's 32 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,160 one thing I'm not wrong about. There's one thing I'm more sure 33 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,440 of than the sun is going to rise tomorrow, and it's this. 34 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,320 Your eyes are the windows to your soul. 35 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,640 Jesus once said the lamp of the body is the eye. 36 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,120 If therefore, your eye is good, your whole body will be full of 37 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,440 light. But if your eye is bad, your 38 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,920 whole body will be full of darkness. 39 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,320 The fact is this guys, the eyes are the gates to the rest of the 40 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,520 body. Whatever fascinates your eyes 41 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,240 will soon gain admission into the heart. 42 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,200 Are you imagining this right now? 43 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,680 We'll picture this. In front of you is a vast 44 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,600 castle. The walls are 100 feet high, the 45 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,880 stones that built it are removable, and surrounding the 46 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,400 castle is a deep, swampy Moat. But the castle has one weak 47 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,400 spot, one way of access, a small side door. 48 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,840 And this is where 1000 men could enter in and claim the castle 49 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,240 for themselves. Now, if the king of the castle 50 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,240 knows about this single entry points, what should he do? 51 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,520 A wise king, a king with any common sense, would send all of 52 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,640 his men, all of his resources down to that tiny side door to 53 00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:23,120 guard it, to keep the rest of the castle safe. 54 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,520 So you know exactly what I'm going to say next. 55 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:31,600 We all have one access point, a portal, a channel which 56 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,680 determines whether the entire body is full of lights or full 57 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,880 of darkness. Your eyes. 58 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,520 So if you wanted to know where to focus your energies today, I 59 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,200 would tell you to guard your eyes with everything you've got. 60 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,000 Some people have a habit of endlessly scrolling on their 61 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,560 phones. Some people have a habit of 62 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,840 watching hours and hours of television or Netflix. 63 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,240 And some people have the habit of gazing at bigger houses, of 64 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,760 gazing at expensive sports cars, or even gazing at other people. 65 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,840 And they dwell on these things, believing that the grass is 66 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,600 always greener on the other side. 67 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,920 So come on, guys. Are you one of those people who 68 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,399 in one day, through these little portals, can invite 100, even 69 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:23,920 1000 tiny seeds of darkness into your heart? 70 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,440 And these seeds will one day grow and you will reap what you 71 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,920 sow By the way, I actually do cover this theme of reaping what 72 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,040 you sow a whole heap on this channel. 73 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,520 And I have a very scary example of a very famous musician coming 74 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,400 up in a video very soon. So if you want to see that 75 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,000 video, please do subscribe. OK, let's turn our attention 76 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,840 back to Eminem, to Katy Perry, to Miley Cyrus and these other 77 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:52,840 celebrities. While it felt like they could 78 00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:56,200 either be joking with us, pretending something bigger is 79 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,600 happening, it's all stage. I don't know. 80 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,920 But I do think there is one unavoidable conclusion that we 81 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,440 can make about their eyes. And it's this. 82 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,200 They are spiritually blind. And before you think, oh, he's 83 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,960 judging, I too was once blind, but now I see. 84 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,160 But may I ask you a question? Are you spiritually blind or can 85 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,000 you see the light? Because the truth is this, 86 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,280 you're either on one side of the fence or you're on the other. 87 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,560 There is no middle ground. There is no halfway house. 88 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,920 You're either blind or you can see. 89 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,240 And I want to say some very difficult things to both groups 90 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,280 of people. So today, if you can see the 91 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,800 light of the Lord Jesus Christ, if you can see that this world 92 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,240 is passing away like a misty field, if you can see that these 93 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,600 celebrities are lost and they have built their treasures in 94 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,680 this life, what they have right now down here is as good as it 95 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,000 will get for them, because what awaits them in eternity is 96 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,880 absolute misery and sadness. Can you see these things, 97 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,640 please, right now, answer for me yes or no? 98 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,360 Can you see it? OK, now answer this question. 99 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,920 Tell me, why then, are you impressed by their power, by 100 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,280 their authority, by their fame? No one can answer this question 101 00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:16,200 but you. But if there were two tables in 102 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,360 a canteen, Eminem was sat on one and a little elderly lady was 103 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,520 sat on the other, which table would you choose to sit on? 104 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,680 Why is it there are so many Christians who are impressed by 105 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,680 riches, by fast cars, by mansions and followers when we 106 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,880 know that we haven't got long left? 107 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,360 I praise God that I know some of you as I've asked that question 108 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,560 genuinely, you would choose to sit on the table with that 109 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,800 little lady over there. And yet some of you, you might 110 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,160 choose to sit with Eminem because you want to share the 111 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,840 gospel with him and tell him about how he could gain eternal 112 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,200 life. But sadly, if many of us are 113 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,600 totally honest, we would have allowed spiritual blindness to 114 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,760 creep into our soul. And we too want a slice of what 115 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,280 the world can offer us today, rather than putting our eternal 116 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:05,720 lens on and seeing whether the real treasure is the real 117 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,240 treasure in paradise with the Lord Jesus Christ. 118 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,960 And that's why we are so often impressed by celebrities and 119 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,080 those who have fame and riches. But I can hear exactly what 120 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,200 you're saying. You're saying, Joe, that's a bit 121 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,080 rich coming from you. You love making videos about 122 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,040 celebrities. You're always talking about 123 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,600 famous people. Well, if you are thinking that, 124 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,400 I do have a response to your very valid claim, and if you'll 125 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,760 give me a chance, I'll explain myself a little bit later on. 126 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,760 However, at this point, I think it's important to address the 127 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,200 other person in the room, the unbeliever. 128 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,200 And as much as it might not be easy to admit this, the Bible 129 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,680 says that you can't see the things of God because your life 130 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,280 is filled with darkness. You are more concerned with the 131 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,520 things of this earth than the things of heaven. 132 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,080 And if that's you today, what would I say to you? 133 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:02,000 I'd say you need to look. I'd say you need to direct your 134 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,560 eyes somewhere else. I'd say you need to look at 135 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,000 Jesus to fix your eyes on the prize, because just one look 136 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,640 will save you, as the hymn goes. Then look, Sinner. 137 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,360 Look unto him, and be saved unto him who was nailed to the tree. 138 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:24,400 Look, look, look and live. There is life for a look at the 139 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,280 Crucified One. There is life at this moment for 140 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,280 thee. What do we mean by that? 141 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,000 We mean we want you to see Him there, The Lord of all creation 142 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,159 lifted up on a wooden cross, paying the penalty for your sin, 143 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,240 your lies. Put him on that cross. 144 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,760 Your greed, your pride, your anger. 145 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,560 These sins put Jesus Christ on the cross and held him there 146 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,240 until the price was paid with his very blood. 147 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,040 The very God who created the universe, humbled himself and 148 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:59,080 took on a human body for this very purpose so that you be 149 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,360 forgiven. And what does he ask for you in 150 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,040 return? Does he ask you to give to 151 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,280 charity and you'll be saved? No. 152 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,720 Does he ask you to be a good boy or a good girl and you'll be 153 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,960 saved? No. 154 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,160 Does he ask you to memorize all the scriptures and you will be 155 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,960 saved? No, no, no, no. 156 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:20,360 All he requires of you is for you to look on Him and live. 157 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,440 See him as the Saviour, see Him as the risen Lord, see Him as 158 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,320 the only way to heaven. And after seeing Him receive 159 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,920 him, as Jesus Christ once said, behold, I stand at the door and 160 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,600 knock. If anyone hears my voice and 161 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,560 opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and he 162 00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:43,360 with me. So will you do it? 163 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,760 Will you open the door of your heart and let Jesus come in and 164 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,160 fill your life with light because you're tired of living 165 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,680 in darkness? I pray the answer is yes. 166 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,840 As I said, I'll address the big question. 167 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,960 Why do I make videos on celebrities? 168 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,800 Well, you've probably noticed since January 2023, I've made a 169 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,560 lot less videos on celebrities as I've been enjoying making 170 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:11,720 these video essays. For instance, on videos like the 171 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,920 pyramids or the location of Eden or neon. 172 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,560 But I know that we live in a world where people are spirit 173 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,240 actually blind, and they do love celebrities. 174 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,880 And I too hope that these celebrities themselves, maybe 175 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,320 they might just watch one of these videos and get saved. 176 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,880 But as a fisherman, as a Fisher of men, I will use whatever bait 177 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,520 is necessary, within reason, of course, but whatever bait I can 178 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,720 to draw folks in so that they can hear the message which they 179 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,560 need to hear the most, the message of the gospel. 180 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,280 And I also see nothing wrong with having a spiritual interest 181 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,600 in some of these public figures, hoping that they too will one 182 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,320 day come to Jesus Christ. Katy Perry, for instance, has 183 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,160 been on a very long and yet a very sad journey. 184 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,040 And you can find out more about her journey by watching this 185 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,720 video here. And if you haven't yet 186 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,280 subscribed and you found this video helpful in any way, please 187 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,000 do subscribe. We really would love to see you 188 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,160 again. God bless you all and thank you 189 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:11,920 for watching.
