TruthRadioShow.com And welcome to the Dan Bedani Show on TruthRadioShow.com And welcome to the book of Ephesians chapter 5 And our in-depth comprehensive study of the Bible So if you missed chapters 1 through 4, please go back and watch chapter 1 to catch up to see what's going on.
So before we get going, we do a specific Bible study approach.
Number one, very important, most important, is to pray for wisdom and understanding.
So we don't lean on our own interpretations or get misinterpreted or whatever the case.
We pray for wisdom and understanding.
So if you want to join me in a prayer real quick.
So Yeshua, Jesus, we love you so much.
Thank you for advocating for us.
Thank you for shedding your blood for us and for remission of sin.
And thank you for providing us a way out of sin, out of way of the death of sin, I should say.
And Lord, I ask you to forgive us all, myself included, all of us, individually, for the sins and the trespasses, transgressions, or abominations that any one of us might have committed.
And we ask you to make us pure before the Father and cast our sins far as he is from the West.
And we love you so much with all our heart and all our soul.
Heavenly Father, we love you with all our heart and all our soul.
And Holy Spirit as well.
And we ask you to give us divine information today to write your word upon our hearts with the Holy Spirit.
And Ephesians chapter 5 here.
So amazing book.
I love it.
And I ask to pray for everybody.
I don't care if it's going to any mental, physical, psychological, spiritual battles.
And I ask you to comfort them, Lord.
Send us the great comfort of the Holy Spirit.
And to give us the spirit of courage, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of truth.
In your mighty name, Heavenly Father, I can't express how much enough I love you.
In your mighty name we pray, Amen.
So, that being said, we pray for—obviously, we just did that.
We read the Scripture in context, because context is key.
This is the most important stuff to memorize.
And let the Scripture interpret Scripture.
And I say this all the time, don't take my word or anybody else's word for it, read it for yourselves.
So by that, okay, I want you to turn to Chapter 5 of the Book of Ephesians.
So if you're listening on ShakenWakeRadio.com, please open up your own Bible.
And obviously people watching on YouTube, you'll see the Bible right up here.
We use the King James Bible.
So Ephesians Chapter 5, Paul's letter to the Ephesians.
And this is the Book of Spiritual Warfare.
So, be ye, therefore, so be you, followers of God as their children.
So therefore, be followers of God as their children.
So, notice the text, their children, right?
So remember Jesus says you need to be like these children.
Remember when Jesus was speaking, we covered this in Matthew, I think it was.
So when Jesus was speaking, and there was some people wanting to bring their kids to see Jesus, and the apostles withheld them, saying, no, he's busy right now.
And Jesus stopped what he was doing, and told the apostles, no, don't turn them away, bring them over here.
And he took one of the children there, raised the child up, and told everybody, you need to be like these children to enter the kingdom of God.
Because children, it's awesome.
100% faith in God.
It's amazing how in touch with God children are.
So as adults people get skeptical, you know, we get doubts in our minds and all that stuff because of the world.
We've been indoctrinated by the world, but children are not.
Until they start watching the garbage on TV and everything else and growing up, but you get the point.
That's why we need to pray for our children.
But he says we need to be like the children of God.
You know what I mean?
Like constantly absorbing information, constantly look to the Father.
And walk in love as Christ also loved us.
And has given himself us for offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling Savior.
Savior, you know, it's like when you have a nice food going, like some steaks are going, the smell of it's great.
So, but, notice he says, walk in love, because the number one great commandment is love your neighbor as you love thyself.
The golden rule, right?
So, the...
Love, that's what Jesus is about.
Love, right?
And because he loved us.
Imagine how much love you have to have to go shed your blood for us.
For somebody, you know what I mean?
That doesn't deserve it.
And we didn't deserve it, but he gave it to us, right?
So, walk in love as Christ also walked in love.
And has given himself over for offering of a sacrifice to God for sweet smelling favor.
So, Jesus became that lamb sacrifice because we understand that years past before that, you know, having remission of your sin, you had to sacrifice one either, you know, preferably was a sheep or something, right?
But something that was pure, like the best of your stock you had, you know, flocks of animals, right?
So that way the total cut was atonement of sin.
But it was never enough.
You know what I mean?
That's why the law didn't work.
It doesn't mean we don't follow the law like we say all the time.
It means we are under the penalty of the law if we follow that.
But Jesus became the final lamb sacrifice.
So we don't have to offer up sacrifices on the altar no more.
Because we got Jesus.
He was the final lamb sacrifice.
So, uh, but fornication and all uncleanliness in Covetous, right, let it not be once named among you as becoming saints.
Something I told you all the time?
Saints.
Cause, you know, if you go to a Catholic church, something you learn that saints are who they think the saints.
You're not considered a saint cause you gotta go to purgatory, right?
That's when you need to be cleansed.
That's garbage.
That's not what the Bible says.
Anybody who becomes a believer in Jesus Christ, anybody, You're a saint, you're grafted into God's Israel, and you become an adopted child of God.
Plain and simple.
But fornication and uncleanliness, right?
Don't let it be fungal ammonia, right?
And I forgot, covetousness, I think that's coveting.
My mouse battery's starting to go, so it's a little shaky here.
So you always want to put the meaning in the Bible.
So the biblical meaning it's a Unstainable desire for worldly gain.
All right.
It's uh Yeah, basically you're coveted like which is the tenth commandment.
I don't not cover it Covenant of this man's wife leads to adultery.
In other words if you desire her, okay, you jealous of Your neighbor because she's got a beautiful wife.
Whatever.
He's got a beautiful wife Yeah, stuff like that.
Jealous of his car.
You want him to have his car better, right?
That's covenant.
So, that's what that means.
And so, covenant things.
And let it not be once named among you as you become saints.
So, and especially for us, we've talked about this before, right?
Fornication.
And a lot of us are guilty of that.
Premarital sex, stuff like that, and adultery.
Because Jesus says, just looking at a girl lustfully, it's adultery.
Let alone, you actually sleep with a girl that's married, right?
But if you look at a girl lustfully, you've already committed adultery in your heart.
So, these sexual sins are major.
Major sins, right?
And same-sex sexual activity is called an abomination.
Romans chapter 1, Exodus, they, you know, it all says it right there.
Anyway, Paul's saying, you know, "...but fornication, uncleanliness, and covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as you become saints." As becoming a saint, which means as you become saints.
"...and neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, Which are not convenient, but rather giving thanks.
So Justin, let me see.
I think I have an idea what this means.
And this is where the Bible studies is.
Just define Justin.
Let me see.
No, it's a double entry where something seemingly innocent is said.
Oops, I didn't mean to... I didn't even spell it right.
My mouse is all messed up guys, I apologize.
battery stuff.
They go, yeah.
So, yeah.
So, I think that's like joking around, I believe.
Because of the gesture, you know.
And it does mean... I'll show you in a minute here.
So, it's weird to find it.
Newsy just pops right up.
Define Justin in the Bible.
Define Justin in the Bible.
So, explain... A double entry where something seemingly innocent is said, but it really has a second meaning that is of a sexual nature.
Alright so people who literally talk about ingestion talk dirty jokes talk about sex all the time stuff like that yeah so need the filthiness and that's many ways I mean you could be filthy inside and out whatever the case and that's not you know talk about dirt on your body the filthiness is like just crud sexual talk and just like all that stuff right no fools talking
Now, there's nothing wrong with joking around here and there, right?
But in a clean way, and a funny way, right?
That's something innocent, and whatever the case, but that's not what the Bible's talking about.
Foolish talking is just like talking stupid.
And we know what kind of people, we all go around these certain people that do this all the time, right?
Jesting, and which are not convenient, but rather of giving thanks.
So, instead of talking like that, give thanks, build one another up, as the Bible says, right?
For this you know, that no whoremonger, now, what's a whoremonger?
That is a male, who sleeps with every girl in sight.
He can't.
That's a male who's constantly looking for girls, and wants to have sex with them.
Or had sex with him, right?
The unclean person, it's basically a hooligan monger is what would be considered a whore, but as a male.
A woman that sleeps around is a whore, right?
And a man who sleeps around with girls, he's a male whore.
Which back then, you'd be called a whoremonger.
That's what a male whore is called.
The unclean person, the covetous man, Who isn't an idol to you?
Has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ of God?
So, this is why it's very important for us to work on our sexual desires, guys.
Especially men out there.
This is why it's very important for us to work on this stuff, and try to control, have self-control and everything else, and try to, like, really repent from the sexual sins.
Because sexual sins is very, I mean there's soul ties involved.
There's all kinds of stuff we could go down the list.
Disease, all kinds, yeah, I mean we could go like so far with that, right?
So much down the list, but you get the point.
This is what we all need to, you know, as men too.
Having the strong hormones and testosterone, what I should say, right?
Yeah, and the woman too, the hormones.
Well, libido, right?
So it's hard to control sometimes, but you need to do that.
Because sexual immorality can literally bring you to hell.
So this is very important for us, and it's a struggle.
And for myself too.
For myself too, it's a struggle.
Loss of the flesh is my biggest weakness.
I'm ashamed of it, but I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Because I need work on it.
So it isn't a lot of people.
I don't go slip around with people, no.
I don't do that.
But when I see a girl, you know what I mean?
That's just the things in my head happen, you know what I mean?
So I need to work on it.
So I admit my faults, absolutely.
But we all need to work on stuff, I'm sure.
Because this is like the biggest sins out there.
And if you look what Paul's saying, this is most of the section.
He's telling you right out, walk in love as Christ has walked, right?
But fornication, uncleanliness, he goes on to say, foolish talking, jesting, filthiness.
And again he says, for this you know that no whoremonger, that's a male whore, nor unclean person, which is somebody who has sexual immorality, you're unclean.
No, cover this man who just desires everything.
You know, like I want this and that.
Whatever the case is.
And who is an adulterer?
Idolterer, I'm sorry.
This is idol tree.
Can't even read today, sorry.
So, uh, who is an idol tree?
Which is a second commandment violation.
That idol is dangerous.
You know what I mean?
You might say, well I don't have no idols.
But if you got a car, right?
Or you, like, everything is around that car.
You know, something that you desire and you, like, hold sacredly.
That's called idolatry.
Anything could be, it doesn't have to be an actual carved idol.
It could be a necklace you have that's worth thousands of dollars or something, that you just idolize it.
Stuff like that, right?
So, he says, they don't have no inheritance in the kingdom of God.
I'm sorry, the kingdom of Christ and of God.
What happens if you're a kid, right?
And your father says, hey listen, I don't want you swearing.
words, empty words, lies.
For because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
What happens if you're a kid, right?
And your father says, hey, listen, I don't want you swearing.
Don't disrespect your mother.
Right?
And all of a sudden you come home You swear and disrespect your mother.
Then your father comes and gives you a good slap right across your face.
Or a punch.
Yeah!
And you get, you know, grounded to your room.
That's discipline.
Because you're being disobedient.
And it sucks at the time when you're a kid, but later on you learn, alright, yeah, that's why my father did that.
To teach me respect.
So, there's no different now.
You could be, I don't care if you're 80 years old right now, listen.
Oh, I'm old, I'm mature, I know.
And you think you know better than God, if you be disobedient.
I'm disobedient to God sometimes.
And God puts me in my place.
God disciplines me.
And don't think because you're, oh, I'm saved, He's not going to discipline me.
Yeah, He will.
And actually even more, He'll discipline you, because you are a child of God.
He doesn't want you going astray, so He'll discipline you to knock you around your ass, excuse the language, to get you back on track again.
Sometimes we need to be pushed down to realize what we're doing wrong.
And the Father will restore us after that, after we repent of it.
But sometimes we go off the straight and narrow, start weaving to the left or the right, whatever the case, and we start going off the beaten path, and God will keep warning us, warning us, warning us, until come point in time you run into a snare.
Well... Then you realize, oh, that's why, because I'm doing this.
And all of us have got stuff we're working on, guys.
So, we need to be careful.
We need to, you know, stop being disobedient.
And at times I'm disobedient.
I'm not, I'm not no saint, yeah?
I'm a, you know, we're saints, I'm sorry.
What I'm trying to say is, I'm not perfect.
But that's what we all need to work on, right?
But let no man deceive you with these vain words.
With vain words.
Don't let them lie to you and stuff.
Like the world will tell you, oh it's okay, don't worry about it.
Yeah, if you're promiscuous, that's okay.
It's normal society.
You know, first of all, God makes rules, not you.
That's what our human nature wants to hear.
But, that's not what the Bible says.
But again, it says, uh, let no man deceive you with vain words.
For because of these things, everything mentioned here, right?
The gesture and homage and all that, right?
The idolatry.
Because of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.
And be not, therefore, partakers with them.
If you got friends that are riding around looking for girls, right?
And they just want to have sex.
Yeah, much of them as friends they would be.
I don't think you want to partake with them.
Because you may say, oh I'm not going to do nothing.
I got a girlfriend or whatever.
I'm not going to do nothing.
You don't know that.
You got some girls that come on to you and yeah, you're not going to tell me.
Yeah, at least the dot's got to cross your mind.
And I'm just using these for example.
It could be anything.
Alcohol.
It could be anything bad.
The temptation will be there.
At least.
But don't take part in this stuff.
Don't be partakers with these people.
Because you don't want to be put to that test.
You don't want to sit there and you know, condemn yourself.
The best way to avoid temptation is to not get involved.
So, anyway, for you, with sometimes darkness, but now you are light in the world.
Walk as children of light.
Because we're born into the darkness.
We're born into that sludge called sin.
That black sludge that holds you down, weighs you down.
That black thick tar that you can't even move.
And I'm using that for example, for sin.
But you are now children of the light.
Walk as children of the light.
So you say, if you're talking the talk, walk the walk.
You want to be a Christian?
Walk like a Christian.
Act like a Christian.
Why don't you say, follow Jesus Christ, right?
Act like it.
For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, in righteousness and truth.
So back to one more wrestling one to finish up with this one here.
Walk as children in the light, right?
So, if you're a child of light, right?
You're a beacon.
A hope for people, right?
Through Jesus, through you, right?
So... You're walking around with a flashlight, right?
But you're not using it.
To help people.
You know what I mean?
If everybody's in the dark and they need to be let out.
Or whatever, the power goes out in the building.
You got a flashlight.
So what good is you having a flashlight when it's off?
You can't see, and nobody else can see.
You can't lead people, is what I'm trying to say, right?
If you're in a building, the power goes out, you can't see nothing.
You're the only one with a flashlight.
And in this case, in the world, we're the only ones who are out of light.
So how are you going to lead people to the Lord if your light's not turned on?
So verse 9, For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.
So the fruit of the Spirit, right, is works.
Yes, we say by faith that no works man can boast.
However, faith without works is useless.
And Jesus goes with the parables with the trees and everything that they need to produce the fruit.
Because if your trees don't produce the fruit, the farmer is Jesus.
He's going to cut that thing down and throw it into the fire.
Like when you go to an apple orange, you know the apple places there.
I can't talk today guys, I'm sorry.
But yeah, if you go to one of those apple places, like the farms and all that, they sell apples and all that.
So, their job is to produce the trees.
If they don't produce the fruit, they're going to cut it down because it's taken up room.
And it's useless.
So they're going to cut that tree down and plant a new one.
If it's not producing the fruit.
Consider Jesus as that farmer.
If your fruit is bad, or not producing, guess what?
Yeah, you're gone.
So, for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth.
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
That's what we need to understand.
Like, try to remember, what is acceptable to the Lord?
There's one around, idolizing things, committing... And here's the thing too, I want to point out this.
Like, this reminds me, right?
How many commandments you see in him?
Let's take a look at this for a second, right?
How many commandments do you see out of the Ten Commandments?
And, you know, you got the dispensations out there.
Oh, the Ten Commandments are no longer valid.
Well, that's not what the Bible says.
Not even close.
How many commandments did you read in him?
Let's see.
Right?
And so, wholemongering and all that is adultery.
The 7th commandment.
Right?
Idolatry is what?
The 2nd commandment.
Covenant-ness is the 10th commandment.
So already in this one verse alone, there's three out of the ten commandments.
Three commandments are listed right there.
And he says right out, you know, you will not inherit the kingdom of God if you do these things.
There's three commandments listed in there.
Now all ten commandments are all through the Bible, from the first to the start.
I just wanted to point that out, it just came to my head, you know, it's like, that's very important.
Because, um, you know, you get told all the time when they start, oh, the Ten Commandments don't matter.
Yeah, they do.
Jesus kept the commandments of God and his two commandments, the Great Commandments.
And he told us in Revelation 14, 12 to keep the commandments, to the saints, us, keep the commandments of God in the faith of Jesus Christ.
So, going back up here, so you've seen, plain and simple, That people who do this stuff will not hurt the Kingdom of God.
It's not what I say.
It's what the Bible is saying right now.
This is the New Testament.
Three commandments alone in that one verse.
And going back up here to verse 10.
Proving what is acceptable to the Lord.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
So this is spiritual warfare.
This is D-verse, basically.
What it's saying, right?
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness.
And it's not just sexual stuff, okay?
We're talking about demonic stuff.
All kinds of spiritual wickedness.
Physically, mentally, whatever it is.
And was reproved.
Rebuked them and exposed them.
That's why it is our job, that's why this verse here is one of the verses that also helped me establish my show, called Spiritual Warfare Friday.
Every Friday we do a live show, exposing secret societies, the occult, things like that.
And like, showing the deeds of evil.
I think it's an English translation that means, expose the deeds of evil.
That's a narration of that verse.
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but expose them.
That's our job to do that.
Rebuke them and expose them.
Don't just sit there, it's like, oh, I'm not gonna say nothing.
No, you do say something.
If you see some evil stuff going on in your church, like New Agers infiltrate the church, don't just sit there, oh, it's none of my business, and I'm not gonna get involved.
No, you, it is your business.
And you are gonna get involved.
Well, you should, I should say.
I can't force you.
But you should get involved and rebuke these people and expose them.
It's our job not to sit there and just let the world go by.
No, our job is to expose the deeds of evil.
That's that with this verse right there.
Expose the deeds of evil.
Have no fellowship with those who work in darkness, but rather reprove them.
That means expose them.
So for it is a shame to even speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
So, what's that mean?
In secret?
So this is spiritual warfare from here out to chapter 6.
This is pure spiritual warfare.
Right?
To have no fellowship with evil.
But expose them.
Rebuke them and expose them, right?
And again, it's a shame for them to even speak those things which are done of them.
It's a shame to speak the things of the darkness.
That are done in secret, right?
Which occult mean?
It means in secret.
The occult is... holds many secret societies.
Freemasonry and all the sects that belong with them.
I mean... Yeah, you got tons of offshoots of Freemasonry.
You got the Illuminati.
You got all these... Yeah, all these secret societies out there.
They do things in secret.
That's what a cult means.
This is like hardcore spiritual warfare, yeah.
And it is a shame, and now people, you know, because we expose this stuff, right?
People take this verse out of context.
They'll say, well, you're not supposed to speak of those things, Dan.
No, he's talking about, Paul's talking about people speaking these things as if it's good, normal, and all that.
We don't do that.
We expose them.
Know your enemy and expose them.
Right?
How are you going to expose your enemies if you know nothing about them?
So yes, we'll bring up demons.
We'll bring up all kinds of principalities and everything else.
We'll expose the secret societies, the cult and all that.
We're not bringing them up to people's ears.
The names and all that.
I mean these things, I'm sorry.
It says it's a shame for people to speak of those things, which is a term like speaking as if you're that good, all that stuff, right?
To promote them.
No, you don't do that.
And again, which are done in secret.
The occult is all done in secret.
And if you remember, Jesus talks about that, right?
He says, I have done nothing in secret, in the back of Matthew.
And those things that are being talked in the darkness will be brought into the light.
The darkness is secrets.
That's why it's called dark secrets.
They'll be brought into the light.
But all things that were approved are made manifest.
By the light.
So what she ever does makes manifest is light.
So basically anything that's hidden in the shadows will be brought into the light.
I think I just butchered that verse, I apologize.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest.
That means they come to life.
By the light.
They're exposed, I'm sorry.
They're exposed by the light.
So all that stuff he's doing secret in the darkness and all that stuff, right?
It's going to come to the light.
And whatever does make manifest is the light.
Is light.
Wherefore, he said, Awaken thy sleepers.
That they are asleep, right?
So, wherefore, he says, Awaken that sleeps, and that arises from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
So, it's not talking about sleeping literally, like, you know, taking a nap or going to bed, right?
Like in the world, you're asleep, right?
Until you wake up to the truth of Christ, the truth of the gospel.
So he says, awake, because you're asleep.
The Word of God here brings you awake.
So you would understand what's going on in the world for what it is, instead of being lied to.
And the veil pulled over your head.
You take that veil right off, it's true to God.
And you're awake now.
And he says, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.
What does arise from the dead mean?
After we're all dead in sin, spiritual speaking in, spiritual meaning.
We're all dead in sin.
Then we come to Jesus Christ, we're alive forevermore.
Now this is talking about the spiritual way.
You know what I mean?
Obviously we're still living right now, our hearts are beating.
Thank the Lord.
But he says, rise from the dead, get out of that.
And come to the Lord.
And Christ shall give you light.
He will give you light.
But see then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise.
Now I gotta find out what that word means.
Let me see.
And that means to live wisely, morally, and cautiously.
So, circumspectly means to live wisely, morally, and cautiously.
So, see that you walk morally and cautiously, not as fools, but as wise.
Don't be stupid, be smart.
That's what he's saying.
Redeem the time because the days are evil.
Redeeming the time.
Because the days are evil.
In other words, brain, you know, like, because we walked in the flesh, you know, and then we come into the spirit.
And all those years were wasted doing that, right?
Back then.
Now we're into the light, into the spirit.
Redeem that time now.
Because the days are evil.
The days on this earth are evil.
And if you don't think so, I mean, you've got to be living under a rock to see what's not going on in the world.
Verse 17, Wherefore, be not unwise, But understand, which unwise is stupid.
Literally, you know what I mean?
So be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
And be not drunk with wine, where is in excess, but be filled with the Spirit.
there.
So, he's not saying, okay, you guys, you know, they drink wine here and there, right?
For little celebrations, whatever, but they didn't go around like wine was drinking every day and night.
That's why he says in excess.
In excess.
Don't do excessively, right?
So, don't be drunk.
It's okay to have a glass of wine for dinner.
It's okay to have a glass of wine to celebrate your friend's wedding or something like that, right?
A glass or two.
But to get smashed and like, obliviated?
That's being in excess, right?
No.
But he said, you know, don't be filled with drunken wine.
in excess, right?
But be filled with the Spirit.
That's the Holy Spirit.
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.
So praising the Lord, you know, singing and all that stuff.
That's great.
I know that radio station K-12, everybody likes that station.
They have some good music, you know, and it makes you feel joyful.
It really does.
That's what God wants you to feel.
All the time.
And if you read the psalms and just play it in your car, there's no music behind it, but you just read the psalms and, you know, the good stuff and the hymns and spiritual books, the spiritual songs, I mean.
Okay.
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and all in the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
So giving thanks to all things for all things unto God in the Father in the name of Jesus, Lord Jesus Christ.
So that's when you eat and everything else, and I taught my son to do that.
And he's trying to stay up with that, you know what I mean?
So, when you eat, pray over your food, then give thanks, ask to bless the food and the drink, and give thanks to the Lord.
And everything else still in your life, you know what I mean?
If you're driving a car, and you know, like it gets you to the point where you need to be grateful for it, thank the Lord for it.
Yeah, I could go on a million things.
Or if you have a great spouse in your life, whatever.
But, submitting yourselves to one another in fear, in the fear of God.
So help each other.
That's what that's saying.
Submitting yourselves to one another.
That's helping each other and all that.
Be helpful for everybody.
And also sexual too.
Married couple.
Man and wife, right?
Because it says, wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord.
So that could be many things.
Sexual nourishment, things like that.
Submit yourselves to your husbands.
If your husband needs sex, give it to him.
If your husband just needs somebody to to hold them, or give them a hug, or comfort them, do that.
And vice versa, too.
You know, I mean, for the guys, their wives.
But submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
In other words, like, you submit yourself to the Lord, that you love the Lord, and you try to do His bidding, right?
Now, it goes on to the husband, too, because the Bible's not sexist, by the way.
Like, a lot of lefty, you know, left people think, you know, the progressives say, oh, it's all sexist, but no, it's not.
Because it goes on to say, for the husband, is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church.
This is called the family umbrella.
And he is the savior of the body.
Now, if you actually read the scriptures, like, we're husband and wife, it doesn't mean that the husband's better than the wife, because he's hetero.
The family structure is plain and simple.
Us men, we follow the Lord.
He's above us.
And our job is to provide for our family, and protect our family.
And a wife's job is to provide nourishment, and love, and caring for the children, and teaching the children.
So it's equaled out.
So if a husband is ahead of the wife, Even as Christ is the heaven of the church, which is us.
The church is us.
It's not a religion or a building.
The church is us.
We the people who follow Jesus Christ.
The saints.
And He is the Savior of the body.
The body is the whole, all of us together.
As one.
Everybody that loves and believes in Jesus Christ.
Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ, that's us, we are subject unto Christ.
So let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
And this is very important too.
This is very important to understand.
Now we can go into our relationships status, right?
And sex in the marriage.
Sex in marriage is very important to understand, right?
And your wife's out there, I know some of them out there be like, oh, he wants sex all the time.
Complains about it, right?
Give it to him!
Unless you're fasting, unless you're, you know, got some medical issue, give it to him!
Well, he doesn't give me love.
Well, you want the love.
Here's the thing, how this works, right?
Men and women design just like, um, like two magnets.
You got two magnets, right?
You have a North and Pole ends, right?
North Pole, South Pole ends, right?
Two South Poles are gonna rebel against each other.
Two North Poles are gonna rebel against each other, right?
But the South and North stick.
That's the way God makes men and women.
One's the South Pole, one's the North Pole.
If you want to get to that man's heart, you gotta go to his happy place.
That means put out, give it to him, give him sex, right?
And men, if you want that, you know, your wife to give you that happy stuff, you gotta go through her heart.
It works both ways.
So the Bible's not sexist.
A man and woman are built different.
And men and women need to understand that and respect each other for that.
And men, if you want that, you know, your wife to, you know, give you the happy stuff, You need to go to her heart.
And woman, if you want that man to go to your heart, you need to give it to your husbands.
And husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it.
Love your wives that he might sanctify and cleanse it with washing of water by the word.
So he might sanctify and cleanse it with washing of water, by the way.
In other words, keep the word of God going.
Prayers and all that.
Don't cleanse any sins out of your marriage and all that stuff.
Yeah, keep that going.
Try to walk in the Lord.
To keep you whole, whatever the case, clean and all that stuff, right?
That he might present it to himself a glorious church not having spot.
Which is blemishes, right?
Or wrinkles, or any such thing that it should be holy and without blemish.
So that he may present himself to a glorious church.
Which glorious church?
It's the body of Christ, the believers.
So, want men to love their wives as their own bodies.
So, much as you love your own body, you love your wife's body.
And I'm sure all of us could agree, us men, we love our wife's bodies better than our own.
So, yeah, love your wives, right?
And he that loves his wife, loves himself.
For no man shall you hate it of his own flesh, but nourish it and cherish it, even as the Lord the Church.
So we don't hate our bodies.
I mean, we all over school believe we could be in better shape and all that.
But we don't hate our bodies, obviously, because we feed it, we take care of it, right?
For we are all members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
That's the church right there.
We are the church.
So if any religion comes up to you and says, oh, we're the true religion of Jesus Christ.
Catholics say that.
The Mormons say that.
Episcopalians say that.
They all say that, right?
None of them are not.
And you tell them, no, no, you're not the church.
We are the church.
The followers and believers of Jesus Christ are the church.
Not your building.
Not your pope or establishment.
Us.
We are.
We are the saints.
For this cause shall man leave his father and mother and shall be joined unto his wife and they shall Now, where is that from?
We talked about the cross correlations with the Old and New Testament.
That's right from Genesis.
So if you understand this, right?
For this cause, a man shall leave his father and mother.
You leave your house when you get, you know, the right.
Fall in love.
And you join unto his wife, that they should, the two shall be one flesh.
What does that mean?
When you have sex with somebody, right?
And you ejaculate into them.
Talk about men into the woman, right?
You come into them, that's what the Bible says.
I'm not being filthy, but that's what the Bible talks about that.
Well, the fallen angels came into the woman of men.
Yeah, the daughters of men, I'm sorry.
Right?
But when you get married, right, you...
Ejaculate coming to your wife, right?
There is a... I got to be careful with YouTube because anything medical they... they frown upon.
So, when you... your genetics become part of her.
Did you ever hear of a... you know, some girl joking around?
She goes, oh, you know, she... she grew up as an Irish woman, right?
And the husband's Italian.
And she goes, I'm Italian by injection.
Yeah, it's a funny way to say it, but it's true.
When you, man, when you ejaculate to a woman, you come into her, those cells and all that stuff become part, yeah a lot of it gets discarded through a period, but the molecular structure of it, they become part of that woman.
She is now part of your flesh, literally her genetics change.
So this is why the Bible prohibits women sleeping around, you understand that?
Every man that's ejaculating inside of you, you are part of them.
that your DNA is all messed up.
Again, the two flesh become one.
How do they become one?
Because you share the genetics of your husband.
I gotta do a show on sexuality and all that, but I mean...
And if anybody thinks I'm talking peggish or filthy language, no, that's what the Bible says.
The Bible is very explicit when it talks about sexuality.
Again, for this cause, right?
A man desires a woman.
He marries the woman, leaves his house, his mother and father, leaves the house, and moves in with his wife to start their own family, right?
Two flesh shall become one.
One flesh, right?
That's when you have sex with your wife, you consummate the marriage, Your genetics are part of her, you know, you're sharing her.
She's got your genetics now forever.
And this is the great mystery.
But I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Which is us.
He's speaking concerning Christ and us.
Nevertheless, let every one of you, in particular, so love his wife even as himself.
Yeah, and the wife will see that she's referencing her husband.
Yeah, the wife will see that she's referencing her husband.
She loves her husband and all that stuff and understands this, right?
And if you could put the, like, really concentrate on this, right?
And, uh, if you're a married couple right now and you're still in dudes to the face, I would highly suggest when this video is over, come back and read this for yourself.
We'll do it anyway.
I mean, if you're not married, I suggest people to read this stuff for yourself.
And let me know what you get out of it.
And put it in the comment section.
But um... Yeah, and uh... It's very important, especially if you're married... To understand this stuff in detail.
Because there's meanings behind this.
There's genetically and spiritual bonds that are involved with this.
And that's why when I try to tell people... Yeah, our sinful nature.
Yeah, of course us guys, we would love to have many women.
In the flesh speaking, right?
What kind of disaster would that be?
Now society will tell you, oh there's nothing wrong with it.
It's just two adults, consensual sex.
Nothing wrong with it at all.
Well, there's a lot wrong with it.
Because when you share your genetics with a girl, you're coming into her.
Even if you used a condom somehow, some way.
Yeah, you're still violent.
You know what I mean?
So, um... When you share your genetics with a girl, That's, you know what I mean?
Imagine, just say a girl has sex with 10 guys, right?
She's sharing 10 guys' genetics.
Imagine what that child's gonna be like?
And people wonder why a lot of children are born.
Like, like, you know, just Hellions.
Because, yeah, sure, like, just that, you know, that one guy could be the father, absolutely.
But that child's still got shared genetics of those other men that she's been with.
So you need to understand that.
This is why it was important.
Because most of the time back then especially.
You didn't have sex.
Until you were married.
And when you were engaged with a woman.
and you guys didn't live together yet.
You guys were still with the parents or whatever the case, And you guys didn't live together yet.
And right after marriage is when you guys moved in.
Then consummated the marriage.
That means had sex after you were married.
Now, if we read about Mary, right?
Matthew chapter 1, right at the end.
It says, even though she was married to Joseph, right?
She didn't have sex with him until after Jesus was born.
Clearly written in Matthew chapter 1.
And nothing wrong with it, because it was the husband that God gave her.
But back then, even up into the 1900s, a lot of people didn't have sex until they were married.
And there's a reason for that.
You know what I mean?
People don't understand because there's genetics involved.
And that's also the soul ties they call it, which is a spiritual application.
If you ever noticed, right, a good way, example of it, two flesh become one and all that, right?
Spiritually speaking, in the spiritual warfare, right?
When two flesh become one, and we are members of his body, well that's, I'm sorry, it's something else, right?
Yeah, when two flesh become one, right?
If you ever see couples that just say they were separated apart like he was at work or she was at home and either one had a bad feeling just say like the wife got hurt and without even knowing about it the husband I'm sorry would have a bad feeling that something's wrong with his wife or vice versa because there's a soul tie there's a spiritual connection now imagine if you're out sleeping with 10 different girls right and they're sleeping with a bunch of people You got diseases involved.
You got all this stuff involved.
Major spiritual applications involved.
And genetically.
You know what I mean?
I don't have much time.
I don't want to spend all this time talking about that.
But I got to do a show on that.
But understand that there's a reason why God does this stuff for.
And just in this couple of verses there he's mentioned three commandments.
That's why it's important to keep the commandments.
And a lot of churches they don't explain Because it says, don't do this, don't do that, I shall not do this, right?
To the normal person, it makes God sound like a controlling jerk.
But if they were actually to understand why, what churches should be teaching, not only don't do these things, but why not to do these things.
That's important.
And when you understand why, you're like, oh, okay, that makes sense.
Thank you so much, Lord.
And a perfect example, right?
When you're a kid, right?
And you have neighbors that they don't care about the kids.
The kids run all over the place.
They run across the street without looking.
They do whatever they want, right?
And your parents are strict.
And you're like, oh, that's not fair.
Little Charlie next door gets to go into the park across the street without asking.
How come I don't get to do that?
Then one day when you see little Charlie get hit by a car or kidnapped.
Then you're like, oh crap.
Because the whole time you think your parents aren't fair, they're strict.
Then when you realize, wait a minute, oh yeah, that's why.
Then you love your parents even more after that.
Because you learn by the hard truth, you learn that was for a reason.
So when you go through the Ten Commandments and you look at every single one of them, there is a reason, a major reason.
I did a show on that too.
The reasons why the commandments are there.
Same thing with Paul speaking about.
If you understood the reasons behind it.
There's spiritual implications of these things.
And ramifications.
So that's why, you know, there's a lot of spiritual warfare involved in here.
I mean, there's much more we could go on forever in this chapter.
So we got one more chapter to go in the Book of Ephesians here.
It's going by quick.
