Language Shapes Behavior
00:05:16

|
| There's a big divide somewhere in our generation. | |
| From 40 down, there's a language that is being spoken that is very foreign from 40 and up. | |
| Yeah, so we old people don't really get it like we should. | |
| But we need to. | |
| We need to educate ourselves. | |
| We need to understand because the vocabulary that is being, this is my second thing to watch for is language. | |
| And the language that has been changing the last few years is really taking control of our conversations today. | |
| The language, you almost have to look at it as what happened when the Bahamas was invaded or colonized by Great Britain. | |
| When Great Britain colonized a territory which we call the Bahamas, what was the first thing they destroyed in order to colonize the Bahamas? | |
| I don't know, probably with the language. | |
| Ding, ding, ding, ding. | |
| Was I right? | |
| Language, anytime you want to colonize any kingdom that wants to colonize a nation, a territory, they must first destroy the language. | |
| Why is language so important? | |
| Language is how we communicate. | |
| Language is how you know where you're from. | |
| You hear my language and you can tell, oh, that guy is not an American. | |
| He wasn't born in America. | |
| I can hear some accent coming out of that guy. | |
| I wonder where he's from. | |
| My language gives me away. | |
| You understand? | |
| Language tells you who you are. | |
| Language is so important because language shapes culture. | |
| Language shapes the way people think. | |
| Language shapes the way people behave. | |
| Language also reflects the culture and affects the meaning and it shapes the way we think and we see the world. | |
| That's how powerful language is. | |
| As a matter of fact, the Bible says that the power of life and death is in the what? | |
| In the tongue, in the language of the tongue. | |
| What was the first thing? | |
| Oh, I'm about to get to preaching right now, Pastor Joe. | |
| What was the first thing that happened at Pentecost? | |
| What was the first thing that the Holy Spirit changed in the midst of 120 people? | |
| It wasn't their clothes. | |
| It wasn't their nationality. | |
| It wasn't their sin. | |
| It was their language. | |
| The first thing you change when you colonize over a territory is their language. | |
| How do you know something is wrong between you and your wife? | |
| It's because communication, the language barrier, is not taking place, correct? | |
| Language will always tell you, I wonder if my wife's mad at me right now. | |
| Oh, she'll let you know. | |
| The language of just looking at you. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Amen. | |
| You know what I'm talking about. | |
| But let me bring it back to where we are right now because language, the changing of the vocabulary, the terms, the pronouns is by design. | |
| Because if you're able to change the language in our culture, then you're able to change the lifestyle and the culture. | |
| You're able to change the morals of that culture. | |
| Not by a bomb. | |
| You hear me? | |
| Not by civil war. | |
| Not by guns, by language. | |
| That's how powerful language is, that it shapes the culture, it shapes the morals, and it shapes the behavior of a society. | |
| Today, there's a language that is being rewritten in our midst, yet the disconnection between the young and the old are night and day. | |
| The young people are speaking a different language, yet they're living inside of your house, and you don't understand why the first term when they were communicating was haha, LOL. | |
| Right, exactly. | |
| Mom, and that, what in the world is LOL? | |
| Now, let me teach you something. | |
| The short terms are how they communicate. | |
| You ever get around young people? | |
| They don't communicate with full sentences anymore. | |
| They communicate an abbreviation. | |
| Everything is a new language. | |
| It's a new form of communicating because in the internet world, you can't communicate what you normally would do with long sentences. | |
| Yet you have to abbreviate everything. | |
| bring it down and dummy it down. | |
| I love what you just said. | |
| We are being dumbed down to the point where we don't even know how to communicate with one another. | |
| They have changed the language. | |
| They have changed our behaviors. | |
| Yet there's something more than just changing the behavior. | |
| They're changing the trajectory of how they're going to operate in the human mind. | |
| How can biochemists understand how the mind works? | |
| This is tied in with science and technology: is that if science and technology can change the language, now they can change your behavior. | |
|
Culture Demanding Change

|
|
| Now they can change the morals. | |
| Then we wonder why there's such a battle over a territory. | |
| Your generation is fighting to keep the great, keep America great again slogan alive by what the terms that you were communicating when you were in your 50s or in your 30s and your 20s and your teens. | |
| Today, that's a foreign land language. | |
| Watch how language is going to change and deceive many. | |
| Number three, culture is demanding it, yet we're surrendering the gift of God that gave to mankind. | |
| That is the free will we talked about. | |
| Another one, economically, this is something big. | |
| The dollar would devalue. | |
| Many nations right now are starting to seek an alternative to the U.S. dollar. | |
