Caption transcript for The Lobstermen: “Returning to your Vomit!” (7/10)

• 00:11 Dimitri Hale: So Josh, you lost your drone?
• 00:13 Joshua Colson: So, I was flying the drone, getting beautiful,
• 00:15 epic shots.
• 00:16 ♪♪♪
• 00:20 ♪♪♪
• 00:27 Joshua C.: But the problem was, it thought his battery was gonna
• 00:30 die, and so it said, "I gotta go home."
• 00:32 Dimitri: And so, once he got locked out, the drone kept going
• 00:35 up and up and up and further out, and mind you, we're in the
• 00:39 middle of the ocean, so you can see the drone for a little bit,
• 00:42 but then it becomes a little dot.
• 00:44 Joshua C.: And it believed its home was in the middle of the
• 00:46 ocean because we started filming already in the ocean.
• 00:49 So, it was flying back.
• 00:51 I tried to tell it, "No, come with me."
• 00:52 And as I was trying to get it to fly back to me,
• 00:54 it found a new home--
• 00:56 [drone crashing]
• 01:02 Joshua C.: On Gay Island.
• 01:07 We can return it from Gay Island before the population has
• 01:11 any impression on it.
• 01:13 I can't promise much.
• 01:15 Joshua C.: Dear God.

• 01:51 Joshua C.: So we put together an expedition.
• 01:54 This is like SEAL Team 6 level.
• 01:58 We needed people.
• 01:59 Obviously we needed Dimitri.
• 02:01 He has the camera, he has the skills, he has the hope.
• 02:04 He's on the boat.
• 02:05 We need Josh Lee. He's the captain.
• 02:06 He's the navigator.
• 02:08 None of us are gonna ever admit we know how to get to Gay Island
• 02:10 except for him.
• 02:11 We need him. Who else do we need?
• 02:14 You wouldn't have thought it, but we need a spider monkey.
• 02:16 That's Ryan.
• 02:18 We need somebody to traverse the trees because for all we know,
• 02:20 the drones in the trees, that's where we saw it last.
• 02:23 So now, me and the boys are getting on a skiff.
• 02:27 We're headed to Gay Island to find our drone and your footage.
• 02:49 Joshua C.: Yeah, so we're right here on this corner of Gay
• 02:51 Island and we gotta come around to this little inlet
• 02:54 right there.
• 02:55 So, here's where it says we are and here's where it says it is.
• 03:02 Dimitri: We found out where the drone was as far as the island
• 03:06 in its entirety, but to actually pinpoint the exact spot.
• 03:11 Now my faith was in question like, do you know how big this
• 03:15 island is?
• 03:18 Ryan just start climbing trees randomly.
• 03:20 Like, what are you doing?
• 03:24 Joshua C.: I think this is just a Where's Waldo game right now,
• 03:26 I think.
• 03:27 We can't find anything.
• 03:29 We're looking and looking and looking at Dimitri's battery is
• 03:30 low on his camera, so he's trying to conserve, so he's
• 03:33 hoping to catch the right moments.
• 03:35 And I'm praying and repenting for every sin I can think of and
• 03:37 any sin that I might do tomorrow, and we still can't
• 03:40 find anything.
• 03:42 And finally, I'm out of breath and I'm tired and I realize the
• 03:44 battery is almost dead.
• 03:45 I go to lean on a giant pine tree.
• 03:48 And if it wasn't insult to injury, I'm not that big.
• 03:52 The tree snaps in half.
• 03:57 Joshua C.: I don't think it's in here.
• 04:03 Dimitri: So, I was like, "It's okay, Josh.
• 04:06 We'll still look for it."
• 04:07 Man, I knew we weren't gonna find that drone.
• 04:10 Joshua C.: I looked to the left and staring at me as God is
• 04:13 my witness.
• 04:17 Joshua C.: I got it.
• 04:18 Joshua C.: With arms wide open, like a Creed song,
• 04:21 but less weird.
• 04:23 Unscratched, unhinged right in front of me is the drone.
• 04:31 Joshua C.: Thank you, Jesus.
• 04:33 Dimitri: Man, I knew you was gonna find that drone.
• 04:35 Man, you would have thought--come on now.
• 04:37 You thought God was gonna let you go through all that
• 04:39 for nothing?
• 04:40 Joshua C.: And it has all its legs.
• 04:46 I mean, if it wasn't for--let me just say it this way, we get
• 04:53 caught up a lot doing life on our own.
• 04:56 If I didn't have a team with me today, Dimitri, Ryan, Josh, all
• 05:00 the guys who had faith when I was not.
• 05:03 When I saw it go down, my heart sank.
• 05:06 And I was basically just thinking about, "Okay, I gotta
• 05:08 get to a Best Buy.
• 05:09 I'm gonna have to drop all the money to buy another one.
• 05:11 We're gonna have to shoot the footage again."
• 05:12 I didn't even think it was gonna be possible and they were like,
• 05:14 "No, no, Josh, we can find it, we can find it.
• 05:17 Don't lose faith."
• 05:19 It's gonna look impossible, you might get cut up along the way
• 05:22 going through the forest, you might fall down on some dead
• 05:25 trees, but if you don't give up, all things are possible.
• 05:32 Joshua C.: And together in unity, this brotherhood escaped
• 05:36 mostly unscathed to the skiff to come back to Maine proper and to
• 05:42 celebrate because today we didn't just win a drone, but
• 05:47 today we won a lesson in faith that it doesn't matter what you
• 05:52 see and it doesn't matter what you feel and it doesn't matter
• 05:55 the name of the island you're stranded on, keep your hope
• 05:59 in God.
• 06:00 He's gonna bring that drone home.
• 06:04 Goodbye, Gay Island.
• 06:09 Joshua C.: Never ever launch a drone from a boat.
• 06:11 It makes it really hard.
• 06:17 The patience that is birthed out of emotional pain, the patience
• 06:23 that's birthed out of physical pain, they're different, but
• 06:27 they have the same guiding concept which is an unwavering
• 06:32 discipline of faith in the Father.
• 06:36 That no matter what you're going through or what you're facing,
• 06:40 he's gonna turn it for your good.
• 06:43 And the only time that doesn't happen is when you give up short
• 06:48 of the finish line.
• 06:53 Caleb Colson: Wouldn't you like to stop blowing monthly fees on
• 06:55 pagan entertainment?
• 06:58 Well, how about spreading the Gospel of Yeshua while getting a
• 07:01 bunch of cool stuff?
• 07:02 Joshua C.: Heck yeah.
• 07:03 Caleb: Then joining the Bearded Bible Bonanza on Patreon, where
• 07:05 you'll see the brothers continue their teachings with never
• 07:08 before aired content that pagans don't want you to see.
• 07:11 Joshua C.: God bless their souls.
• 07:13 Caleb: Galatians 5:1, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by
• 07:17 which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again
• 07:21 with the yoke of bondage."
• 07:25 Caleb: Man, I really wanted to go canoeing today to show that
• 07:28 awesome metaphor of being fishers of men and catching
• 07:32 people for Yeshua, but this storm's blowing in and, I
• 07:36 don't know.
• 07:37 We gotta find a way to teach people discipleship, you know,
• 07:39 because they're always gonna have opposition by the world,
• 07:42 you know, by the storms, the winds and the waves, and there
• 07:45 has to be a better me--oh, it is stormy.
• 07:48 I guess it kind of works out.
• 07:50 Very cool.
• 07:51 Mike: I just happened to be prepared for this
• 07:53 very situation.
• 07:54 I think we need to seek shelter.
• 07:57 Let's go build one.
• 07:58 Joshua C.: Mike, you're prepared, what?
• 08:00 Caleb: Teach me, boy scout.
• 08:01 Joshua C.: Mike is always prepared.
• 08:10 Joshua C.: Sir, where'd this come from?
• 08:12 How--what?
• 08:14 Mike: Well, you guys said we needed shelter, so I built us
• 08:16 a shelter.
• 08:18 Joshua C.: Like you built a shelter?
• 08:19 Caleb: You built a shelter this quickly?
• 08:20 Mike: Well, we don't have time to waste in the storm like this,
• 08:23 do we?
• 08:25 Joshua C.: Here, I'd like to give you this.
• 08:26 It's my temporary man card because I won't be needing
• 08:28 it anymore.
• 08:30 Mike: But, you know, we know as believers that the Holy Spirit
• 08:33 gives us gifts, right?
• 08:35 All of us have spiritual gifts, things that we can use around us
• 08:40 in the situations that we find ourselves into.
• 08:42 Well, I carry with me every day a little spiritual gift,
• 08:47 practical bag.
• 08:49 So, I work about 15 miles from my house.
• 08:53 An everyday carry bag's purpose is to have the things you need
• 08:56 in it to get you home.
• 08:58 I have some things to help me build a shelter.
• 09:01 Joshua C.: Is this what I think it is?
• 09:03 Caleb: This is what it is. This is a sandwich.
• 09:04 Mike: I brought one for everybody.
• 09:06 Joshua C.: No, no, not just any sandwich, I know what this is.
• 09:09 Mike: So, it's just your basic fluffer nutter.
• 09:12 You take marshmallow fluff, you take peanut butter, two slices
• 09:15 of bread, it's delicious.
• 09:21 Caleb: It's stuck to my mouth.
• 09:22 Mike: It is stuck to your mouth.
• 09:23 Israel: So, on top of everything else, you not only built this
• 09:25 shelter, but now you're feeding us, right?
• 09:27 Mike: Well, I had a couple extra minutes, you know, from the
• 09:29 walk up.
• 09:30 Israel: That's amazing Mike.
• 09:32 Mike: Part of my ministry in Integral Men is to help men
• 09:36 teach men to be prepared and to be part of their families like
• 09:41 God has called them to be, to be part of their churches, to be
• 09:43 part of their work environment, to be part of their friends, to
• 09:46 be part of their community, to be believers that go into all of
• 09:50 the world and be ready to do that.
• 09:53 So, some of the teachings I have in Integral Man are things like
• 09:56 building a shelter, building a fire, because these are things
• 09:59 that are lost.
• 10:00 And there are things that are lost when we're lost.
• 10:03 God called the church to be a shelter, not a bomb shelter that
• 10:08 we just sit in and wait and ride out life.
• 10:11 Joshua C.: Every Sunday morning.
• 10:12 Mike: Exactly, every Sunday morning.
• 10:14 But a shelter where people can come in from the storm.
• 10:16 They can have shelter, they can have fire, they can have food,
• 10:20 they can be fed so that they can then go back out and to bring
• 10:26 this into the whole world.
• 10:28 Joshua C.: So, you're saying the box is just for temporary.
• 10:30 Mike: Yes, it is just a temporary means.
• 10:33 Joshua C.: To restore, fill back up, and go back out.
• 10:36 Mike: Exactly.
• 10:37 And one of the things you'll notice about this shelter is it
• 10:39 is very temporary.
• 10:41 This is not something we're gonna live in forever.
• 10:44 This is to get us out of the storm.
• 10:46 And what I use to build this is the things that are around me.
• 10:51 This was all from stuff I found 500 feet walking along
• 10:57 the beach.
• 10:58 In 20 minutes, I found all of this stuff.
• 11:01 Caleb: That's the fastest 20 minutes I've ever seen.
• 11:03 Mike: It is pretty amazing.
• 11:05 This is the outdoor equivalent of it, but spiritually it's the
• 11:08 same thing, "Lord, what do you have for me today?
• 11:13 Bring people in front of me that need to hear it.
• 11:17 Give me the words to speak to reach that person."
• 11:21 And that's really what Integral Men is about, is equipping men
• 11:25 to take over that role that God had called him to be part of.
• 11:29 Joshua A.: Yeah, I grew up camping a lot.
• 11:31 I never learned properly.
• 11:32 My family never went on camping trips, but my--one of my best
• 11:36 friends in high school's dad was really big into it, so
• 11:38 I learned.
• 11:40 And then I just would go all the time like from 16 years old, I'd
• 11:42 go for like four days in the woods by myself.
• 11:44 I had no idea what I was doing.
• 11:45 This isn't me bragging.
• 11:47 I just love the woods so much, but just the adventure.
• 11:50 I'm so glad you guys invited me in this adventure, first of all,
• 11:54 it's been an adventure for me leading my family, my wife, and
• 11:57 my five kids back to our homeland, Israel.
• 12:01 You know, we were scattered for 2,000 years, and we were
• 12:04 back again.
• 12:05 The Bible says he who scatters Israel will gather Israel again.
• 12:09 So, I just--I answered the call and went back and we talked
• 12:13 about this like hearing God's voice and that still small voice
• 12:18 and then even not knowing the whole time until you get there
• 12:20 and then your kids are in the army like, "Did I actually hear
• 12:22 your voice?
• 12:23 Because I would rather them not be in the Israeli army right
• 12:25 now," you know?
• 12:26 Israel: Worst time ever in history to be in the
• 12:28 Israeli army.
• 12:29 Joshua A.: Yes, yes, but for my kids, my oldest two that are in
• 12:31 the IDF, they're like it's such an honor for them.
• 12:32 But you look at--you think about the history of our people like
• 12:35 in the mornings, I don't do it every day, but we wrap what we
• 12:39 call Tephilim, you know.
• 12:40 The Bible talks about Deuteronomy 6, you know, "You
• 12:42 shall bind it on your arm and on your frontlets, on
• 12:44 the doorpost of your home.
• 12:46 You should teach your children as they're going in, going out,
• 12:48 so that when you go into the Promised Land, you won't be
• 12:51 caught up with the other gods."
• 12:53 And it was this preparation that God had taught us and to this
• 12:56 day, I mean, we still only have Jewish people identifiably
• 13:00 because we kept some of those traditions.
• 13:03 Otherwise, it would have just been just like all the other
• 13:05 people that lived in the land of Canaan, the Amalekites, the
• 13:08 Hittites, the Hivites, the Kushites, the Amorites, the
• 13:10 mosquito bites, you know, the Jebusites.
• 13:13 Yeah, there you go.
• 13:15 But Israelites, we kept some semblance of what God had
• 13:17 given us.
• 13:19 We didn't keep it all.
• 13:20 And the book is really honest, you and I are talking about at
• 13:22 breakfast, you know, we were--how does it go?
• 13:25 Caleb: Well, they tried to kill us, we won, let's eat.
• 13:28 Joshua A.: That's all of our feasts.
• 13:30 Caleb: That's that's all our feasts.
• 13:31 That's our whole history right there in a nutshell.
• 13:34 Joshua A.: So, you know, but the--along that journey is we
• 13:37 forgot about God.
• 13:38 That's why God let them kill us and scatter us.
• 13:40 And the Bible's pretty honest about that.
• 13:43 So, following God's principles and following God's book that
• 13:46 prepares us for the things that are gonna come is so imperative
• 13:50 and being ready like Pastor Mike, being ready, when the
• 13:53 storms come.
• 13:55 And also remembering that they're just storms, and not
• 13:58 giving up your call, giving up your life to get through the
• 14:01 storm when it's only a storm, but following God to the end.
• 14:04 "He who endures to the end will be saved."
• 14:07 Caleb: I think it's time, Mike, that we learn how to build
• 14:11 a shelter.
• 14:13 I mean, you have this awesome one, but that's only like a
• 14:15 shelter for one.
• 14:17 We each need our own shelter.
• 14:18 How about we go out and try to build our own?
• 14:20 Mike: I like it.
• 14:21 Caleb: I'm excited about this.
• 14:23 Mike: So, go find what you can find around and let's have you
• 14:27 build some shelter.
• 14:29 Israel: Wait Mike, that sounds like a lot of work.
• 14:30 Mike: Well, you know, might as well work while you still can.
• 14:34 Caleb: Galatians 5:16 through 18, "I say then: Walk in the
• 14:38 spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
• 14:41 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against
• 14:45 the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that
• 14:49 you do not do the things that you wish.
• 14:51 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under
• 14:54 the law.
• 14:57 Joshua C.: All right guys, y'all get everything built for the
• 15:00 shelter yet?
• 15:02 Caleb: Josh, we're all supposed to build our own shelters.
• 15:05 Joshua C.: Well, I can't build a shelter if my
• 15:07 blood sugar gets too low, so I just figured y'all do it
• 15:08 while I eat the fluffer nutter.
• 15:09 Joshua A.: You eat and I'll build a bigger one for the two
• 15:11 Joshua.
• 15:13 Caleb: You know he's being facetious.
• 15:15 Joshua C.: Oh man.
• 15:16 Caleb: He's building a single shelter.
• 15:18 Joshua C.: I think one of the problems we face today, even if
• 15:21 we have men equipped to be able to build these physical shelters
• 15:24 and protect us in physical storms is that we haven't always
• 15:29 prepared ourselves spiritually to weather physical and
• 15:33 spiritual storms that come against us in our life and we
• 15:36 get saved.
• 15:37 The day of salvation is probably like the highest of high for
• 15:40 some people when it comes to their spiritual strength.
• 15:43 They have this immediate transition from darkness into
• 15:46 light where God himself is now embodying them, right,
• 15:50 and comes into them.
• 15:52 For the first time in their lives, they're seen through the
• 15:54 eyes of holiness, they're seen through the eyes of their
• 15:57 Father, they're literally feeling his embrace.
• 16:00 And of course, in that moment, everything feels great until
• 16:03 they go out into the wilderness spiritually of the world and all
• 16:06 of a sudden what they have inside of them is good, but they
• 16:11 haven't prepared anything else in their life to face the
• 16:15 different types of storms that are coming.
• 16:17 And it's not to say that God isn't enough.
• 16:19 He is enough, but you are in a world with an enemy who comes to
• 16:23 steal, kill, and destroy from you.
• 16:26 We have this problem as believers I think because we
• 16:30 know the truth and we know what's right and we know
• 16:32 what's wrong.
• 16:33 We feel like we can dabble just enough, we feel like we can joke
• 16:36 just enough in the things that aren't holy, aren't righteous,
• 16:40 don't build us up, don't protect us, aren't a shelter around our
• 16:43 spirit man.
• 16:44 And before we know it, the slippery slope has creeped that
• 16:48 back door open, right?
• 16:49 Put a little stop in that back door.
• 16:50 Now if you live in the South in any period of time, you know, in
• 16:53 Texas, it gets really hot in the summer.
• 16:54 It's 110 degrees sometimes, so we had--we spent a lot of money
• 16:58 on air conditioning to cool that home, right?
• 17:01 And our homes are sealed with different kinds of material to
• 17:04 hold in the temperature we want and to keep the rest out, right?
• 17:08 So, if my back door is propped open and I've got my AC running
• 17:11 pumping, trying to get it down to, you know, 65 degrees where I
• 17:14 keep it in my house, it's gonna start filling up with all that
• 17:17 warm air because I left it cracked open.
• 17:19 Well, same thing adversely, if I leave my back door open and I
• 17:21 live in a high crime area, I'm basically saying to anybody, "If
• 17:25 you want to come in and take from me, just go to the back
• 17:27 door right there."
• 17:28 Spiritually, we leave the back door of our hearts and our
• 17:31 spirits open because we never take the time to purge ourselves
• 17:35 of all of those things of darkness.
• 17:36 We don't disciple it out of us.
• 17:39 One of those things God gave us is fellowship with other
• 17:41 believers, but also when he says, "Don't forsake the
• 17:43 fellowship together of believers," he's saying, "Don't
• 17:46 let go of the fact that Caleb and Joshua were supposed to be
• 17:49 there to hold you up when you're getting weak, to call you out on
• 17:52 the carpet when you're doing wrong, to cheer you on in
• 17:55 moments where you need to join together because two are better
• 17:58 than one."
• 17:59 The Bible continuously says the enemy wins when he isolates us,
• 18:02 when he hunts us down like a predator in the woods, and we
• 18:04 find ourselves out here with a few twigs, no man card, and half
• 18:08 a fluffer nutter sandwich, which, you know, led them
• 18:10 to that.
• 18:11 And we still have the back door propped open and we can't
• 18:13 stay safe.
• 18:15 It is imperative today that we clean the sin out of our lives.
• 18:20 Caleb: I have a good idea, guys.
• 18:21 I say we should all join together and build a massive
• 18:24 shelter for the three of us and really show those Gentiles
• 18:27 who's boss.
• 18:28 Joshua C.: Don't know if that applies to what I just said.
• 18:31 Caleb: Yes, let's do it.
• 18:33 Let's build an awesome shelter.
• 18:34 Joshua C.: I kept waiting for you to pull out your giant
• 18:36 Torah, you know, when he pulled out his Bible, you know, like,
• 18:37 pow.
• 18:39 Caleb: Galatians 6:15, "Brethren, if a man is overtaken
• 18:43 in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in
• 18:47 a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you
• 18:50 also be tempted.
• 18:52 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
• 18:55 For if any one thinks himself to be something, when he is
• 18:58 nothing, he deceives himself.
• 19:00 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have
• 19:03 rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
• 19:06 For each one shall bear his own load."
• 19:10 Mike: You have a spot like this that you could dig out, right?
• 19:14 You already have kind of a natural difference you could do.
• 19:17 So, you could build, you could cut out, dig out in here.
• 19:21 All right, and you need a shovel.
• 19:25 Ryan Economy: Oh, that's a folding shovel.
• 19:27 Mike: Israel, I think you've seen--you probably had your fair
• 19:30 share of this, right?
• 19:31 Israel: We couldn't leave home without it in the army.
• 19:32 Mike: Shovel, you're gonna take it, you'll tighten it up, and
• 19:38 then you can just dig right out of here, right?
• 19:40 Dig yourself a nice little spot if you have a tarp or even
• 19:44 something, right, you can put it over you, but yeah, it's using
• 19:47 what you have around you, being aware of the environment that
• 19:49 you're in.
• 19:51 Joshua C.: I was just gonna make an Etsy shop with pine cone
• 19:53 earrings for Christmas, but this right here is much better.
• 19:56 Well done.
• 19:57 Caleb: This is a shelter.
• 19:58 Forget that little thing that Pastor Mike made.
• 20:01 This can fit all of us.
• 20:03 Joshua C.: This is a shelter in a time of storm.
• 20:04 Caleb: I think that we could definitely charge rent for
• 20:06 those guys.
• 20:08 Israel: I don't know where are them guys, you know.
• 20:13 They're probably lost more than likely.
• 20:14 Mike: They're probably lost.
• 20:16 I mean--
• 20:17 Israel: They're gonna be happy to see us I know.
• 20:18 Mike: We didn't like their chances of making it anyway.
• 20:21 I mean--
• 20:23 Caleb: Hey guys.
• 20:24 Joshua C.: Pastor Mike.
• 20:26 Mike: What is this?
• 20:28 Caleb: What do you think, sir?
• 20:29 Israel: You've got to be kidding me.
• 20:31 Caleb: This is what the team builds, team Jew.
• 20:33 Mike: I'm proud of you guys.
• 20:35 Is there a lap pool?
• 20:36 We just hit the lap pool in ours, you know, to get a
• 20:38 little workout.
• 20:39 Caleb: Show me your lap pool.
• 20:41 I remember Ephesians 6:10 through 12, "Be strong in the
• 20:44 Lord, and in the power of his might, put on the full armor of
• 20:47 God that you can stand against the wiles of the enemy because
• 20:49 we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against
• 20:52 principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness
• 20:54 of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in
• 20:57 high places."
• 20:58 You gotta come prepared, and I came prepared, Josh and Josh to
• 21:03 build this awesome thing.
• 21:04 You know, I think that's the pinnacle of being prepared.
• 21:08 The final moment of discipleship is learning to put on the full
• 21:12 armor of God because without it, you're gonna be hit by the
• 21:16 enemy's arrows and everything that comes your way.
• 21:18 And so, what are those tools that we need to put on every
• 21:21 day, guys?
• 21:22 We need to put on the belt of truth.
• 21:24 That belt of truth means you're not walking in deception and
• 21:26 you're not lying.
• 21:28 And see upon your feet you have a preparation of gospel
• 21:30 of peace.
• 21:31 You gotta walk in peace, not in dissension, not in condemnation,
• 21:35 not being judgmental to everyone, but walking in love.
• 21:38 Israel: In the army that's your combat boots.
• 21:40 Caleb: Helmet of salvation, guys, that's a given.
• 21:42 You can't even start off your Christian walk unless you have
• 21:45 received the salvation that Yeshua bought and paid for.
• 21:49 Also that's renewing your mind with Salvation, with his Word,
• 21:53 always putting on the mind of Christ, always thinking his way.
• 21:56 So, when the devil's lying to you, he's throwing out this
• 21:59 deception, you're not being moved by his lies, by his
• 22:01 trickery when he whispers those into your ears.
• 22:04 The breastplate of righteousness, you know, that
• 22:06 protects your heart when you're walking in purity and holiness,
• 22:10 and we can't earn that righteousness, not by works.
• 22:12 There's nothing we can do to earn that.
• 22:14 It says he clothes us with his robes of righteousness because
• 22:17 it's by his blood that we are set free.
• 22:20 The shield of faith, you gotta have that to quench the fiery
• 22:22 darts of the wicked one.
• 22:24 You gotta bounce off those bullets that come at you from
• 22:26 the enemy.
• 22:27 But there's only one--
• 22:28 Israel: The shield of faith is your flak jacket that you
• 22:32 actually have to put on.
• 22:33 The army uses these very symbols to dress themselves.
• 22:36 Now, what's the sword of the spirit?
• 22:39 Caleb: The sword of the Spirit is the only offensive weapon
• 22:41 that we have against the enemy.
• 22:43 Hand me my sword.
• 22:45 There we go. Look at this.
• 22:46 Joshua C.: I don't have one of those.
• 22:48 Caleb: This is the living Word of God.
• 22:50 Says when Yeshua speaks, the sword comes out of his mouth and
• 22:53 cuts down the enemy.
• 22:54 This divides asunder of the joints and the morrow.
• 22:56 It reveals the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
• 22:59 That's the Word of God.
• 23:00 He is the Word.
• 23:02 John says the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and he
• 23:05 walked with that word, and he learned his words.
• 23:07 We gotta walk in the Word, we gotta read it every day.
• 23:10 This is our food.
• 23:11 This is our very sustenance.
• 23:13 If we don't read the Word, then we're starving.
• 23:16 We're just like little skeletal frames out there like Holocaust
• 23:18 survivors trying to fight the enemy.
• 23:20 I don't want to be like that.
• 23:21 I wanna be one of the strong muscular Jews holding the sword
• 23:24 of the Spirit and doing God's Word.
• 23:26 And at that, my brethren, is what I call discipleship.
• 23:30 We have been equipped, we have our shelter, we can ride out
• 23:33 the storm.
• 23:35 And then tonight, I think we should celebrate.
• 23:37 Caleb: 2 Peter 2:19 through 22, "For people are slaves to
• 23:41 whatever has mastered them.
• 23:43 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by
• 23:45 knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again
• 23:48 entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at
• 23:52 the end than they were at the beginning.
• 23:55 It would have been better for them not to have known the way
• 23:58 of righteousness than to have known it, and then to turn their
• 24:01 backs on this sacred command that was passed on to them.
• 24:05 Of them the proverbs are true."
• 24:07 Caleb: Even as a dog returns to his own vomit.
• 24:11 Man, Yeshua said it best when he told the story, if you cast an
• 24:15 unclean spirit, this evil spirit out of a man, and you don't
• 24:18 clean house and fill that house, your spirit man, your body with
• 24:22 something good, with the Word of God, with his Holy Spirit, then
• 24:25 evil spirits will return with seven more of their filthy
• 24:28 friends, and the latter stage of your life is going to be worse.
• 24:31 You're going to be caught up in some gnarly things that you
• 24:33 never thought was possible before you were even a believer.
• 24:36 So, it's discipleship is key, guys, whether it's Yeshua
• 24:40 himself through the Holy Spirit discipling you as you grow, or
• 24:44 if you just can't figure out the Bible yourself, you need someone
• 24:46 to hold your hand and you get someone to mentor you and to
• 24:49 really disciple, it's very important.
• 24:51 Israel: You know, Mike, actually that's how I got saved
• 24:53 pretty much.
• 24:54 A lady that led me to the Lord gave me her own personal Bible
• 24:58 44 years ago and said, "Take this book and read it."
• 25:02 I picked up that next morning, the Bible, and read the Sermon
• 25:05 on the Mount, Matthew 5, 6, and 7, and it changed my life.
• 25:10 I have not set that Bible down since then and it has changed my
• 25:14 life in the sense that the Holy Spirit revealed to me because I
• 25:17 had read it before, but it didn't make any sense, but he
• 25:20 revealed to me the truths in it, and I thank God that I was
• 25:23 taught by the Holy Spirit and not by man.
• 25:26 Ryan: I think a good example for me is sin can be sometimes
• 25:30 very attractive.
• 25:31 It has a lot of flavor to it, so like this is gum, for example.
• 25:35 If I take a piece of gum, chew up the flavor out of it, find
• 25:41 Jesus, get rid of it.
• 25:45 Then I feel more pure, get all good, but if I get the--if I get
• 25:51 it back, it's a little worse.
• 26:00 So, I think it is really important.
• 26:03 So, like it's really important to let go and just stay with him
• 26:09 the first time.
• 26:10 Don't come back to it because it's just--yeah, it actually did
• 26:12 have a good flavor coming out of his mouth in this
• 26:15 real situation.
• 26:16 Caleb: That is definitely a good example of returning to your
• 26:19 own vomit.
• 26:20 Hats off to you.
• 26:22 Mike: If you do that again, we're gonna have to return to
• 26:24 my vomit.
• 26:25 Joshua A.: I might, yeah, vomit if you do it one more time.
• 26:27 Sorry, you guys are crazy.
• 26:29 I'm gonna sing this song.
• 26:30 Okay, Ryan, you wanna play the drum here.
• 26:32 I'll start it off a little slow first, teach everybody.
