Woe to You, Hypocrites The Chilling Words Jesus Spoke to Religious Leaders| Mar Mari

0:00 And then in 23 continues, verse 8, 9, and 10. In verse 8, the Lord Jesus says, do not be called rabbi, for one is your teacher, the Christ. And then in verse 9, do not call anyone on... The Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, one God, Amen. Our beloved fathers, deacons, nuns, faithfuls, both in this holy church and those who are watching us through live streaming, I pray that the almighty Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the true divine God revealed in the flesh and the end of times, bless you, guide you, protect you, and be with you All the days of your life as he promised.

0:53 And for eternities to come. Until the end of all ages. May the name of the one and only Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Be glorified through his beloved children. Through his beloved faithfuls. For Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth and the life. You will never ever find any other God but him. And you will never find anyone that will get you to heaven. And eternal life but him.

1:20 In him. By him everything was made and without him nothing was made from what was made. Christ is it. Hold on to the Lord and do not be tempted or deceived and taken elsewhere. Do not. Jesus Christ has got nothing to do with Christians in the sense of just because I'm a Christian, that's it. No. No. Jesus Christ is God and he is love and he wants your heart. You can be a Christian but your heart is elsewhere. It's not going to do you any good.

2:04 And you can be a non-Christian and give your heart to Christ. He'll make a saint out of you. The first shall be last and the last shall be first. Christ is God. Don't Put any other names next to that. He's God. Today's gospel, our church fathers have chosen two parts from the gospel according to St. Matthew. And one part from chapter 22, being verses 41 to 46, which is the end of chapter 22. And then chapter 23, verses 1 to 22. So it is taken from two parts, from the gospel according to St. Matthew, chapter 22, verses 41 to 46, and then chapter 23, verses 1 to 22.

3:01 There is a lot to go through, but we'll sum it up in 10 hours at least. I test you guys sometimes just to see if you're awake or not. Ah, and you're laughing. That means it's good. You're still awake. Very good. What's interesting, my beloveds, in chapter 22, which is verses 41 to 46, the Lord Jesus asked the scribes and the Pharisees, and he says, who is the Christ?

3:43 The son of who? They replied and they said, he is the son of David. He said, well, if he's the son of David, then how come David in the spirit calls him Lord? Because he said, the Lord said to my Lord, come up and sit at my right hand until I put your enemies as your footstool. If David called him Lord, how come he is his son?

4:13 The Lord said to my Lord, you find that in Psalm 110 verse 1. King David says, the Lord said to my Lord, come and sit at my right hand until I put your enemies as your footstool. Who is the Lord and who is my Lord? According to King David. King David says, the Lord is God the Father and my Lord is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. So if Jesus Christ of Nazareth, David in the spirit called him Lord, how can he be his son? They were not able to answer the Lord anymore. They didn't understand that Christ who was addressing them is perfect God and perfect man united in the person of Christ. As the son of man, he is the son of David from the lineage of David from the tribe of Judah from the house of David as the son of man. But as God, he

5:15 is the Lord and the creator of David. And then the Lord Jesus goes on in chapter 23 verses 8, 9, and 10. The Lord says, In 23 verse 1, it says the Lord spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples. And the word and is a divider between multitudes and the disciples. So he was speaking to the multitudes and the disciples. Meaning, there are certain words the Lord spoke in the Holy Bible were not meant for everyone. They were only meant for the disciples. And we'll just find out.

6:03 And then in 23 continues, verse 8, 9, and 10. In verse 8, the Lord Jesus says, do not be called rabbi. for one is your teacher, the Christ. And then in verse 9, do not call anyone on earth father, for your father is one who is in heaven. And then in verse 10 he says, do not call for yourself a master, for one is your master, the Christ.

6:32 So now, if the Lord is addressing everyone, and saying to everyone, do not call for yourself a father on earth, for your father is one who art in heaven, then it's a problem. What I'm going to do with the Ten Commandments, which the same Lord, by the way, gave it to Moses, where he says, honor your father and your mother. And since it's his word, it is eternal, never changes. Nothing overrides the other. God never contradicts himself.

7:10 God is demanding on one hand to honor your father. And here he's saying, do not call anyone on earth father, for your father is in heaven. If this was meant for everyone, we are in deep trouble. So guys, congratulations. Go home and deny your father. And deny your mother. And then you'll have to answer to God. Woe unto you if you are dishonor your father and mother. So what are these words? Who were they meant for? The disciples only. Not everyone. Why? Because the disciples are heads of the church. They are leaders of the church. They are patriarchs. They are popes. The head of the church on earth. As head of the church on earth, you should never call yourself a teacher on earth because your

8:08 teacher is Christ. And you should never call for yourself a father on earth because your father is God who art in heaven. And you should never call for yourself a master on earth because your master is Christ. Why? Since you are the highest rank in the church. You are the head of the church on earth. If you are going to have a teacher, a master, a father outside of Christ, you've destroyed yourselves and the entire flock with it. Because since you are the head of the church, you only take orders from Christ, no other human beings.

8:49 So this is not for everyone to say, why are you calling the priest father? Please, you need to understand the Holy Bible. In fact, St. Paul says, I have given birth to you through baptism. You are my children. St. Paul is saying, I'm your dad, spiritually. So are you going to say to St. Paul, hey, you're making a mistake?

9:15 Who inspired St. Paul to write this way? The Holy Spirit, who is God. So you're telling God did not know what he was saying? So these words, do not call for yourself a father. It was for the church leaders, not for everyone. Please respect your biological parents. Respect your spiritual fathers. And then above all, respect your heavenly father who art in heaven. But as popes, as patriarchs, you have no father but Christ. You have no teacher but Christ.

9:46 And you have no master but Christ. Because if you take your orders from any other human being outside of Christ, you've ruined yourself and ruined the church of Christ. But now, for the next 9 hours and 50 minutes, in Matthew 23, verses 16 to 22, the Lord Jesus is mentioning three things. And he's saying, Woe to the scribes and the Pharisees, hypocrites!

10:21 Woe to the Pharisees and the scribes, hypocrites. Now Pharisees are the ones who check everything under the microscope of the law. They are so literal, it is suffocating. They are so literal, it is absolutely unbearable. And the scribes are the law writers, even worse. Too fanatics, too religious. So he says to them, you are blind leaders. Woe unto the Pharisees and the scribes, hypocrites. Why? Because you teach.

11:09 You are the people of the law. You are the law writers. You should know better. You should have known better. But you're teaching the wrong thing to the flock. What is it? Three things. He says, you say, whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing. But whoever swears by the gold that is in the temple is obligated to perform it. In other words, he is held liable if he swears by the gold that is in the temple.

11:39 But if you swear by the temple, it's okay. No hard feelings. But if you swear by the gold that is in the temple, you are held liable. Temple, one. Second, if you teach, you hypocrites, scribes and Pharisees, you say, if anybody swears by the altar, it is nothing. But whoever swears by the offering that is placed upon the altar is held liable. You hypocrites, which one is greater?

12:15 The altar or Or the gift. Isn't it the altar that sanctifies the offering? Isn't it the temples that sanctifies the gold? Let me tell you this. He who swears by the temple. Swears by it and whoever dwells in it who is God. And he who swears by the altar. He is held liable because the altar is the one that sanctifies the offering. And he who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and who sits on it.

12:58 Three things in Matthew 23 from verses 16 to 22. Temple, altar, heaven. Even though the next thing I want to say is not part of today's gospel. But it is within chapter 22 and 23. But it's relatable to understand. Why is the Lord talking about the temple, the altar and heaven? Now in Matthew 22, 37. Today's gospel is Matthew 22, 41.

13:39 But I'll take you back to Matthew 22, same chapter, but verse 37. One of the Pharisees, again, the legends. One of the Pharisees gets up and asks the Lord, which is the great commandment in the law? The Lord Jesus replies and says, Again, three. Three. And if you swear by the temple, by the altar, by heaven, three.

14:27 And then I'll take you just outside the borderline of chapter 23, verse 23. Instead of verse 22, today's gospel, I'll take you further one more step. Matthew 23, verse 23. The Lord says to them, You have neglected the weightier matters of the law. And what are the weightier, the heavier matters of the law? What are the most important things in the law which you have totally ignored? Justice, mercy, and faith. Pretty close. Justice, mercy, faith. Again, three. Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, and mind. Temple, altar, and what is the other one? Heaven.

15:33 Well done. And then you have neglected the weightier things of the law. Justice, mercy, faith. Love the Lord your God with all of your heart. It's got to do with the altar. And the altar's got to do with faith. Sorry. The altar's got to do with mercy. Love the Lord your God with all of your heart. It's got to do with the altar. Love's got to do with the altar.

16:10 And the altar's got to do with mercy. Love the Lord your God with all of your soul. The soul is got to do with the temple. And the temple is got to do with justice. And they love the Lord your God with all of your mind. The mind is got to do with heaven. And heaven is got to do with faith. Love the Lord your God with all of your heart. It's got to do with the altar.

16:40 And the altar has got to do with mercy. Love the Lord your God with all of your soul has got to do with the temple. And the temple has got to do with justice. And love the Lord your God with all of your mind has got to do with heaven. And heaven has got to do with faith. Let's dig deep into it. Let's come to the loving the Lord God with all of your soul, which has got to do with the temple, which has got to do with justice. Now, St. Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5.23, the human being is made out of body, soul, and spirit. Now, when you look at the temple, the building, what do you see? You see the external structure. First, When you look at a human being, the first thing you see is the body. You can't see the soul, you can't

17:48 see the spirit. They are internal, hidden. But what is visible to the naked eye is the external thing which is the temple. The actual building. Now why is the building external? It's got to do with the soul and it's got to do with justice. Now let's come to the soul. What is the soul's weakness? What is the soul's weakness? Greed. What is the soul's weakness? Greed. And what has this got to do with justice? The Lord is saying, when you're coming to me, I want you to Make your own justice. I want you to judge yourselves because if you do not judge yourselves, I, the Lord, will judge you. If you do not judge yourselves, I, the Lord, will judge you. And what is the justice that we need to judge ourselves with? The Lord is saying,

19:01 everything you see externally, is never yours, never will be. Everything you see externally is never yours, never will be. What is this external? The actual building. What is external? The actual body, the physical being. That is the external visible to the eye. In other words, if you Chase the world, which is the tangible, the physical realm, which is the flesh. If you chase that and nothing but the world, at the end you will die. And when you die, you've taken nothing with you. This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. You better judge your before God judges you. Don't chase the world because everything you gain in the world, the grave will take it away from you. Do not be greedy. The

20:07 soul is very weak when it faces greed, struggles with it. Why are we fighting? Because of greed. Why are we dividing? Because of greed. Why are we killing? Because of greed. Look at the world, the world is engulfed with greed and greed leads you to blindness and the physical side of the being is blind. You see, the body is like the moon. The moon without the sun reflecting its beam on it, it will never shine. The moon is dark.

20:47 You chase darkness, you'll end up dark. And what is darkness? Death. And what is death? The grave. The grave. Why are we greedy? Why are you so afraid to give, to help, to be a charitable person? Why are you always taking, not giving? What are you going to take with you? Nothing. It's just one big lie. It's a fantasy. It's a delusion.

21:26 Someone will say, I'm working hard to save up money and build an empire for myself because I want to leave all this wealth for my children. Fair enough. But you know when it becomes an absolute disastrous thing to do? When you build all this wealth and you've worked very hard. I'm not saying you did not. You've worked very hard but you've done it all outside of God. You did it all by yourself, for yourself, your own ways, away from God. What you've just built became an absolute disastrous thing for you and your children. What was it disastrous for you? You've worked all your life so hard. Every single day, seven days a week, for many, many, many years.

22:16 And before you came to know it, you got so old, you're not enjoying life anymore. And you missed out on the children. They were growing and you did not even enjoy that moment. You were too busy building an empire for yourself. You didn't enjoy the family, the wife, the children. You were a stranger. And at the end, before coming to retire, enjoy it. Death took it away from you.

22:40 And then the entire empire was left for the kids, for the siblings. And the siblings took one another to court trying to take whatever they can for themselves. They became enemies. You see what greed does? Destroys family. And when the family is destroyed, life is non-existent anymore. Life is non-existent. When it comes to the temple, which is the external structure, which is the visible structure, and everything that is visible is tangible, and everything that is tangible is temporal. Do not chase the temporal, because at the end, it's not yours anymore. Love God with all of your heart.

23:42 It's got to do with the altar now. And the altar's got to do with mercy. What love did sent Christ to be the mercy of God. Christ hanging on the cross, that is the mercy of God. to the entire human race. And Christ hanging on the cross, what is that? The altar. The altar is the cross. That's what the altar represents. That's why we have an altar erected in this building. The moment you remove the altar, this becomes a building. When you put an altar, it's called a church. A church without an altar is just a building. I can't call it a church. Because Christians without cross are not Christians. Christianity without the cross, kiss it goodbye. Because it is the cross that saved us.

24:53 It is the cross that redeemed us. It is the cross that delivered us. It is the cross that gave us eternal life, which is the kingdom of God. But what happened? How did this altar, which is the cross, How did it come about? Love sent Christ and so God loved, see love, loved the whole world that he sent his only begotten son so that whoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. When the son was sent through love, he came and died on the cross. That is the mercy of God. The Lord says this, When you come and say, I am coming to seek you, Lord. I am coming to find you, Lord.

25:49 You better make that judgment that you cannot be with the Lord and the world at the same time. It is either with Christ or with Satan. It is either with the light or the darkness. It is either with the truth or the lie. It is either with the eternal life or eternal death. Can't be both. You cannot hold on to both of them. So if you want to chase the world, materialistic world, you cannot be in the spirit. You cannot be. You become physical, worldly human being.

26:26 It is impossible to follow Christ. So make this judgment that if I chase the world outside of Christ, at the end, I am dead. And it is one big lie. What have I gained? Absolutely nothing. But when you have the Lord and you build a house and say, Lord, you are my house. You are the head of this household.

26:47 You are the foundation to this house. The house is yours and I'm a servant in your own house. Then that house is blessed here and in heaven. But if you gain it outside of him, then you better make this judgment. Whatever is tangible is temporal. And whatever is temporal never was yours, never will be. Stop chasing the mirage.

27:16 And when you come to me, you better come to me with your heart. Let me tell you this. I can be serving in the house of the Lord for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years, whatever God gives me. Time on earth. And in my entire 50, 60 years of service in the house of the Lord, I worked very hard. I sacrificed my time. I sacrificed my energy. I sacrificed my comfort.

27:43 I sacrificed a lot to be serving in the house of the Lord. But in that entire 50 years of serving in the house of the Lord, there was not one moment I served the Lord of the house. Say that again. It is very easy that we serve and we serve very hard and very diligent and we sacrifice. I'm not saying we cheat. No, we worked extremely hard, but we worked and served in the house of the Lord.

28:16 But in that entire long service, we never serve the Lord of the house. We only serve the house of the Lord. It is all done in vain. Why? Because until we come and serve the Lord of the house, All of that other service was done with no love in it. And any service you offer to Christ without love, there is no reward. God will say, you have nothing here with me. So my beloved, when you come to Christ and to his holy church, you better love one another.

29:01 Otherwise your coming was in vain. And when you serve in the house of the Lord without any love for him, then all of that service, even if it was done with a great deal of sacrifice, then it means nothing to the Lord Jesus. All the work done for him with no love has no payment from Christ. You need to do it for the Lord. No one else. When you come to this church and you... see this good-looking bishop, I always like to rub this one in, and you see this good-looking bishop, if your love stops at this bishop, then I have failed the Lord and all of you.

29:53 But if your love continues through this bishop to Christ, then I have succeeded in the task given to me by the Lord. Because my only role was to make you loving the Lord through this vessel chosen by God. But if you end up loving me, not the Lord, I am the greatest failure of all. And this goes to every church leader. The only thing the Lord allowed us to be leaders in the church is to teach the flock on how to love Christ, not us. Let me ask you this. When we went to school, in school there is the subject and there is the teacher.

30:45 When the teacher comes to teach you the subject, does the teacher speak about themselves or about the subject? You may go to school 10, 20 years, maybe more. I don't know. Maybe you failed a couple of times and you repeated them. So you've gone for so many years through the educational system. And you may leave university not knowing anything about the teacher because it is only natural.

31:12 You are not in high school, in primary school, in college, in university for the teacher. You are there for the subject because you want to graduate and become whatever you wish to become. So it's got nothing to do with the teacher. It's got to do with the subject. The subject is Christ. I'm here to teach you about the subject.

31:29 That's all. It's not about me. It's about Him. Are you here for Christ? For His love? Or are you here for someone else's? A successful leader is the one who Who makes the flock loving the Lord. Because it's him. He is the reason for the season. So love. Has got to do with the altar. And the altar has got to do with mercy. The Lord Jesus while hanging on the cross said. Seven profound statements. While he was hanging on the cross. The very first statement ever uttered by his holy mouth was, Father, forgive them for they do not know what they're doing. What is mercy? The sign of mercy is forgiveness. The Lord is saying, It is the love that sends the mercy of God which is Christ hanging on the cross. And what is Christ

32:45 hanging on the cross doing? Forgiving us our sins. And forgiveness can only be given to the one who has a pain in your life. Not someone who is good to you. You can't be nice to someone who was nice to you and you say I'm merciful. The only time you're found merciful when you are nice to someone who was nothing but a pain in your neck all your life. And you still showed mercy. You still forgave that person. When you forgave that person, that is the mercy of God. Christ is embedded in your heart. And how did this mercy come about? The love sent this mercy who is the father. All love sent his son to be the mercy to the entire world. And what is mercy? Cross. And what is cross? Death. What is death? Self-denial.

33:45 And what is self-denial? Humility. If you do not come serving the Lord with love and humility, You have no reward from the Lord. You've received your reward from people around you. The Lord says, you've got nothing from me. And if the Lord doesn't pay you, we all end up in hell. And love the Lord your God with all of your mind. The mind has got to do with heaven and heaven has got to do with faith. St.

34:28 Paul says, faith cometh through hearing. And when you hear the word, the mind begins thinking. When you hear the voice or the word of God, Christ, when you hear that word, it comes through the E. When you hear it and accept it, What did you do here? You believed in it. And what is believing in the word? Faith.

35:02 And now why is faith has got to do with heaven? Because the word came from heaven. The logos is the son of God who is God who art in heaven. So this word came from heaven down to earth. Why? On the hope of changing earth into heaven. You know, when a king wants to expand his kingdom, what does he do? He goes to another country and colonizes that country.

35:47 You see, Great Britain colonized Australia. The rightful owners of Australia are our beloved, the aborigines. They are the natives, whether we like it or not. They are the natives. They are the natives. They are the rightful owners of this country. Period. But when Great Britain came and ruled over Australia, colonized Australia, what does the king do, or the queen? Oh, now it's a king. May God have mercy on us. So what does the king do? When he colonized another country, he changes that country and makes it like his country. The language becomes the native country of the king. The way people behave, the way people dress, the way people eat and the way people drive, everything changes to the culture of the king's country. Now we

36:56 are living on earth. Earth is not heaven. Everything is totally opposite to heaven. And we don't speak the language of heaven here. We don't dress up like heaven. We don't walk like heaven. We don't live like heaven. We don't behave like heaven. So we can't go up to heaven, but heaven is able to come down to earth. Why?

37:21 Because in heaven there is one king called Christ, the king. He said, I want to expand my kingdom, so I'm going to go to earth and colonize earth in order to change earth and make it like heaven. So how do you change a human being? You change their mind. You've changed the human being. Love the Lord your God with all of your mind. I'll have to finish it off.

37:55 I've been promising myself not to talk for too long, even though it's so difficult to do so. Because I love you so much, I don't want you to go home that easily. Snore it off in the church, but don't leave me, because I love you. St. Paul, in his epistle to the Romans, chapter 12. He says, my brethren, I beseech you to offer your bodies as an acceptable sacrifice to God. And then he goes on. He says, do not be conformed to the world, but rather transformed. How?

38:30 By the renewing of your mind. Wow. Do not be conformed to the world, meaning do not live like the world. Because you see, prior to heaven coming down, who is Christ? The king, prior to heaven coming down, you were all of the world. But when Christ came, he chose you from the world. And now you belong to him. You no longer belong to the world. Now you belong to him.

38:57 Since you belong to him, you belong to heaven. You better behave like heaven. But in the world, you better behave like heaven in the world. Because that's the whole idea of the king. He wants the world to be heaven. He came, established heaven on earth and through his children he wants to change the earth into heaven. Do not be conformed to the world. Don't act, behave like the world.

39:33 Because now you belong to heaven, Christ, the King. So how do I change? He said by being transformed. Not conformed, transformed. Change. How? By the renewing. of your mind. Now the word renew is a compounded word. R-E prefix to go back. Rewind to go back. So re- R-E is a prefix to go back. The word new, renew, RE prefix to go back, the word new is not new. Because the Holy Bible says, there is nothing new under heaven. It was all created of old. But people did not find it, did not discover it. So when they discovered electricity, they said it's new.

40:23 Electricity was always there from the very beginning when the big bang, big bing, bing, bing, bing. When God caused the big bang, not your head. When God, Elohim, caused the Big Bang, that's where it all began. Electricity was there. We did not find it until we discovered it. We said, this is new. It's not new, it's ancient. Therefore, the word re-new, new is not new, it is of old, meaning origin. The word new here, Saint Paul is meaning origin.

41:06 And what is the human race and the universe origin? God. Genesis 1.1 In the beginning, Elohim, the original Hebrew text, it is not the word God. Elohim or Elohim is different to the name God. In the beginning, Elohim created the heavens. And the earth. Saint Paul says. The only way. To be not conformed. But rather transformed. When you go back to your origin. Because when you go back to your origin. Your mind is renewed. And what is the origin of all of us? God. The triune God. Father. Son.

41:54 Holy Spirit. In one nature. One essence. Now. What. Associates with the mind. I'll leave you with it. What associates with the mind? The word. The word. The mind thinks. And the mind thinks when something it hears. John 1.1 In the beginning was the word. Logos. And the word was God. And the word was God. What begins initially is an idea. When the idea matures and ripes, turns into a thought. When the thought matures and ripes, turns into a word. When the word matures and ripes, turns into an ideology. When the ideology matures and ripes, turns into a philosophy. When philosophy matures and ripes, turns into a way of living. To make it simple English, everything began with an idea that the chair you're sitting on

43:16 was an idea in someone's head. When he followed or she followed through that idea, it became a way of living. The chair that was an idea becomes a tangible existing thing on earth. No one was born from their mother's womb to be a drug addict, a serial killer, A pedophile? No one. Everyone was born like a little angel. What changed this angel into a monster? Idea. They allowed themselves to be exposed to certain ideas which later on evolved and became a way of living. So as we grew older, we were exposed to so many ideas. And those ideas became ripe and mature in us. It became the way we thought, the way we spoke, the way we behaved, the way we lived. So St. Paul says, the world fed you with poisonous ideas. The only way to be

44:29 released and saved. transformed, go back to the origin of you which is God and get His idea into your mind which is the Holy Bible, the Logos, the Son of God who is the Word incarnate. Get His Word into your mind, your mind will change, will be transformed. You will change from worldly to heavenly, from earthly to spiritually, from temporal to eternal, from darkness to light, from slave to son, from death to life. Change your mind with the word of God, which is the mind of God, the intellect of God. When you come to Christ, don't worship material things. Greed makes you a slave to materialism.

45:35 Material was created for you, not the other way around. God gave the whole world as a gift for you. Don't ever enslave yourself to it. And don't ever hold on things for yourself and be greedy. The more you give, the more God gives you. Trust in the Lord. Break the weakness of your soul by doing charitable deeds. If the hundred dollar is your weakness, give it away. And if the Ferrari is your weakness, give it to me.

46:17 Trust me, those who own Ferraris, when you give it to this good looking bishop, trust me, I will sell it. And I will take whatever I get from that Ferrari to every starving belly in this world. Every afflicted soul. Every sick soul. Because I don't deserve to drive a Ferrari and my brethren is starving in the street. So please give me the Ferrari. A small confession. I will, mind you, I will drive it just to feel the Ferrari.

46:57 And then I say, I feel good. And know that I wouldn't. And then I'll give it away. It'll break my heart. But it will make God's heart happy. And we're here to please Him. Not us, not anyone else. And trust me, my son, my daughter, when you please God, oh, He will give you all of Himself to you. then there is no limit to what you are capable of when God is all yours. So don't be greedy. Judge yourself and say to yourself, what is justice? The world was never mine, never will be. Don't worship the world.

47:48 Don't worship what is in the world. Make this true judgment and say, Christ, I give up everything for you. To own you. And to be my portion. That when you come to him. Come with the heart. Not with a lip service. But from the heart. To the heart. To his sacred heart. And say Lord. I come to you wholeheartedly and I ask you for your mercy which is the cross, the holy cross, the holy altar where you shed your blood for me to save me, redeem me and wash me clean, whiter than snow. I thank you Lord for loving me so much. I'm coming to give that love back to you and to you only because you are the only worthy of this love, no one else. even if the bishop is good looking, but he's not worthy of this love. It is you, my Lord.

48:46 And then say, Lord, I'm coming. Change me by changing my mind. May your word dwell in me. May your word transform me. May your word be all of my thinking. Now the king has earth. And earth, by the way, is you and me. We are the earth. And the Lord's Prayer. our father who art in heaven hallowed be your name your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven your will be done on earth what is earth humans what is heaven god the angels of heaven and god who art in heaven Your will be done on earth in the human race as it is done in the angelic orders in heaven.

49:44 While I'm on earth, change me and make me like heaven. When you change my mind into heaven, on earth, I become a representative of heaven, an ambassador. You'll be that light for this dark world. You'll be the truth for this world that is full of lies. They may hate you. They may persecute you. They may try to kill you.

50:33 But when Christ is your king. No one can ever take you away from him. And lastly, the Lord says, do not fear the one who can kill the body but has no authority to kill the spirit. But I say to you, fear this one, the one who can kill the body and has the authority to cast the spirit Into hell. Who is the one that can kill the body but has no authority over the spirit? Satan.

51:13 But who has the authority to kill the body and cast the spirit in hell? Me and you. We are the greatest enemies to our own selves. Greater than Satan. This is one of the main reasons why God did not abolish Satan. Because if he were to abolish Satan, he should have abolished us way, way before. Because we are greater enemies to our own selves than Satan to ourselves.

51:46 Change me, Lord. Where I no longer speak worldly, live worldly, dress worldly, behave worldly. Change me into a heavenly being while on earth. So that the dark world may see your light. And come to this light and glorify not you, but your Father who art in heaven. It's all about him. Nothing about us. We're just a vessel used for his glory.

52:21 But remember, what goes around comes around. You glorify Christ on earth. Oh, wow, wow, wow. He will glorify you in heaven before his angels and heavenly father. Let's bow our heads. Ask for forgiveness for your sins. While we're reciting this prayer of absolution, talk to the Lord and confess your sins before him right now. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, one God, amen. Our good God and full of mercy, our good God and full of mercy, whose grace and mercy is poured upon all, Pour, my Lord, the compassion of the delightfulness of your love upon your servants and again transform them in the hope of renewal to the life of repentance. Renew in them your Holy Spirit by whom they are sealed for the day of salvation.

53:19 Purify them by your compassion from all flesh and spiritual blemishes and assure the hope of their faith by the aid of your grace and instill the walks of their behavior in the paths of righteousness. Please them along with the saints in your kingdom by the assurance of the hope of their faith in the adoption as your children and in the joy of your absolving mysteries. Empower them by the aid of your mercies to observe your commandments and fulfill your will to confess, worship, and praise your holy name, the Lord of all, Father and Son, and Holy Spirit forever. Amen.
