The song is getting closer We are the Digital Soldiers Each time they run forever We are the Digital Soldiers We will bring the light to this field of fight.
Hi, welcome to another episode of Just Informed News.
I'm your host, Craig.
Thanks for joining me.
We have a lot to get into here today.
We're going to talk about a bunch of different things.
Shout out to all my live viewers over on the Foxhole app, aka Pilled.net.
If you guys want to watch all of this live, you can.
You just have to go to Foxhole app.
You can download it or you can go to Pilled.net, which is the best way to find it.
That way you can watch these shows live as they're created.
Plus, there's a bunch of other benefits there.
You can have chats with me that occur outside of these recordings, and we can have a good conversation.
So to everybody over there on the live stream, thank you, and we'll be catching up with that after the show here.
But today we have a lot to cover.
Also, I'm going to be doing an interview a little bit later with former NSA analyst Jeff Dow.
Look for that to be coming out soon on these main channels, Rumble and BitChute.
But with that being said, we're going to get right into the news.
Quick look at some of Biden's lies since taking office.
Here are a few of them.
Gas prices are now resting just above $5 per gallon, almost $3 higher than when he took office and well above the $3.51 per gallon the day before the Ukrainian invasion.
However, we can look at Biden's actions since taking office to see the real reasons for the continued surge in gas prices.
President Biden issued a moratorium on the entire leasing program after taking office in 2021.
However, in June, a federal judge blocked the moratorium on June 15th, 2021, ruling that Biden had exceeded his authority.
Biden's anti-gas policies are central in hiking up the gas prices.
You get the point here.
Then there's this, one of the most hilarious tweets you'll ever read in your life, May 12th, 2022, when President Biden took office, millions were unemployed, and there was no vaccine available.
In the last 15 months, the economy has created 8.3 million jobs, man.
Come on, man.
And the employment rate stands at 3.6%.
Come on, man.
Fastest decline on employment to start a Biden president's term forever recorded, man.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
You see what they did there?
So the government forcefully makes you shut down your business, forcefully makes you lay off your employees, forcefully makes you take an experimental vaccine, and then they claim some victory when all of a sudden...
They end the lockdowns and people go back to work and they're like, oh, look at how many jobs we created.
We created millions of jobs.
Unemployment's like nothing now.
It's like, well, wait, no.
Actually, you're the one that caused all the unemployment in the first place, people.
Plus the vaccines, who knows what they are.
To me, not medical advice, but they seem very...
Very deadly, poisonous.
I'm trying to think of words that were not that drastic, but I just, after all the information I've seen with the side effects, and it seems like it's depopulation, but, you know, I'm just a crazy conspiracy theorist.
It goes over a few more things here in the article talking about how they should repeal liability shield that often protects gun manufacturers from being sued for the death and destruction caused by the weapons.
And then this is the funniest part.
They're the only industry in the country that has this kind of immunity.
It's outrageous.
So we should sue gun manufacturers for what the guns do?
So none of that makes sense.
First of all, the vaccine, the COVID vaccine, you can't sue because that has immunity.
But then could this go to cars?
So if a guy runs somebody over with a van, are we going to sue the van maker?
If somebody stabs somebody with a knife, are we going to sue the knife maker?
If somebody takes a baseball bat and hits somebody over the head with it, are we going to sue Louisville Slugger?
I mean, it's the most absurd and stupid thing you ever heard in your life, but that's what Democrats are.
You know, they work in the absurd and stupid realm.
So here's another story.
Joe Biden downplays inflation, then starts screaming, I don't want to hear any of these lies about reckless spending.
Yeah, interesting.
Let's watch.
I don't want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending.
We're changing people's lives.
Oh my gosh.
This is what dementia looks like, too.
And because of the facts, this year, we're delivering the biggest drop and deficit in the history of the United States of America.
Yeah.
So that's what dementia looks like, these outbursts of rage because, you know, the brain's not functioning all correctly.
And this is what, you know, to expect from Biden.
But then the funniest part here is, you know, even CNN has to ask these questions.
White House press secretary laughs off question about President Biden's declining mental state.
Yeah, let's watch.
Does the president have the stamina, physically and mentally, do you think, to continue on even after 2024?
Don, you're asking me this question!
Oh my gosh!
He's the president of the United States.
You know, he...
I can't even keep up with it.
We just got back from New Mexico.
We just got back from California.
That is...
That is not a question that we should be even asking.
Just look at the work that he does.
Look how he's delivering for the American public.
Look, that article that we're talking about is hearsay.
It's salacious.
That's not what we care about.
We care about how we're going to deliver for the American people.
How are we going to make their lives better?
That's what the President talks about.
That is his focus.
And that's where we're going to continue to focus on.
It's funny though, we've entered the realm where now the White House tells the reporters what questions they can and can't ask because they don't even try to hide the fact that literally they're just the extension of the spokesman for the White House at that point.
They're just a parrot saying whatever the White House tells them they can and can't say over at CNN. Don Lamont, one of the lowest IQ people on television, not impressive.
But here's a funny one.
Hunter Biden is boasting in this new audio that's been released that his father will do anything he tells him to.
If it's important to me, he'll make part of his platform.
Yeah, isn't that interesting?
Here.
I'm not going to play the whole clip, actually.
But it is a fascinating clip.
For the sake of time, I'll leave a link to it if you want to go watch it for yourself.
It's a little bit long.
But the funny part is this.
Hunter also sat on the board of Burisma, is what he's saying here, but then here it says, quote, He'll talk about anything that I want him to, that he believes in, Hunter Biden said about his father, Joe Biden, quote, If I say it's important to me, then he will work a way in which to make it a part of his platform.
My dad respects me more than he respects anyone in the world, and I know that to be certain, so it's not going to be about whether it affects his politics.
Oh, wow.
Joe Biden also previously said his son Hunter, a crack addict and raging alcoholic who spent most of his money on hookers, is the smartest man he knows.
And don't forget that Hunter Biden sends his dad links to Pornhub, a pornography website on the internet.
All those fears you think that I have of people not liking me or that I don't love myself, I don't fear that.
You know why I don't fear that?
Because the man I most admire in the world, that God to me, that's weird, thinks I'm a God.
Oh my gosh.
Wow.
This is how they live.
You know, talk about living in a godless, evil, demonic relationship.
Who knows?
I feel bad.
I think that Hunter has to be the product of some sort of abuse.
I mean, multiple forms of abuse, I'm sure, from his father, sexual, physical, mental.
Who knows?
I mean, we already have Ashley Biden's, you know, alleged diary where she talks about inappropriate showers with her father.
The abuse was probably rampant in that family.
And if half of the things that we know and have seen publicly, I mean, the stuff he's doing with groping children in public.
Could you imagine what he's doing to his own kids in private?
Or the fact that his wife mysteriously dies and then he marries the underage babysitter of his children?
Or is it like a family thing where Hunter Biden's brother dies and then he starts having a relationship with his deceased brother's widow?
And then apparently in his own text messages talks about how his family accuses him of inappropriate relations with his underage niece of his deceased brother whom he's dating the widow of.
Yeah, that whole family's messed up and Hunter Biden is screwed in the head.
And I can tell you right now that This stuff that's coming out is just showing us who these people are.
The fact that they're running our country is rather disturbing.
Here's another one.
A reporter asked Dem members of January 6th Witch Hunt Committee when they plan on holding hearings over BLM riots.
Here's how they responded.
Well, I'll give you the summary.
They basically said nothing.
They did not respond.
Some pointed to previous statements condemning the violent riots, but others just ignored the reporter altogether.
And it brings up a great question.
If we're going to have a hearing over January 6th, which was a pretty small change compared to billions of dollars in damage, fires, murders, violent attacks, burning down police precincts, holding entire cities and neighborhoods hostage, I think that would be something we might want to investigate if we had an honest and non-corrupt government.
But hey, you know, we can only hope, right?
Here's another great story.
Trump uses his new social media site to share QAnon content.
So what they talk about is this account over on True Social that's going at Q. That's the name of it.
It's been basically referred to by many as being a part of the QAnon team from the original QPost.
A lot of this article is just a bunch of media matters, you know, whiny little girls and whiny little men, boys.
Talking about how they're so angry that Trump's using his free speech on Truth Social to share information about QAnon.
And some of the posts that they point to are just like, here's one, Trump re-truth this, where Trump's holding up a picture of the gallows and saying, and this time we're going to do it bigger and better than ever before.
So, you know...
They're scared, I think.
I think the fact of the matter is that they have no way of understanding the truth that's coming out.
Whatever Q was or is, it's always been to me about the information.
It's been about the research.
It's been about the investigatory research and journalism that comes along with showing and exposing these criminals.
I mean, think about it.
The only thing you have to tell yourself is like, They tell you Q's fake or Q's this or that or it's evil and it's been banned.
I've been banned.
See, the fact of the matter is I just reported on Q and had a belief that there were good guys going to do the right thing inside of our government.
I still have that belief to this day.
Not entirely.
There's a lot of corruption.
There's a lot of infiltration.
But I know there's enough good people behind the scenes that are going to do what they can to save this nation.
I believe that.
But the funny thing is that this is the kind of reporting that has only one purpose.
It's not to get to the truth.
It's to label targets on people's backs to have them attacked by this media machine, to have them removed from the conversation like myself and many others were.
I mean, I don't like to go into it because you guys know my story, but, I mean, the fact about it is it's a pretty notable story.
You know, I built a big platform for sharing information and doing research and dives, and all of a sudden I got nuked out of existence by these big tech companies because QAnon became this, you know, catch-all just like everything else was before that.
It's like the Alex Jones of the modern day.
But, yeah, that's how this whole system operates.
Here we are, the next story.
Breaking surveillance video shows man wearing street clothes, exiting passenger seat of post office truck in Detroit, dumping stacks of ballots into drop boxes.
Yeah, no big deal.
You know, this is totally normal, guys.
Guy is in the passenger seat of a post office truck in plain clothes, you know, just dumping a bunch of ballots because, you know, this is how, you know, you do an election, okay?
And if you don't believe that, you're a racist bigot who hates fixed elections, I guess.
Anyway, you get the idea.
There's more and more proof every day as the laughable January 6th committee mocks 2,000 mules.
We keep proving it.
Here's another one.
Delusional anti-Trump D.C. mayor thinks D.C. is a state.
She defaced the flag by adding a 51st star, and now she's flying them all over D.C. Well, why not?
These people have been emboldened to the point where they believe they can get away with these crimes so they just commit them.
Is anybody going to go arrest Mariel Bowser?
I highly doubt it.
She's being protected by the same deep state that has been able to weaponize the intelligence services and the FBI and the DOJ against half the country violating our personal rights and violating the President's rights and effectively launching a coup in 2016 that failed and then launching another coup in 2020 that succeeded.
So...
There's that.
And then this reminds me of talking about BLM and everything else.
Unreal scenes in Michigan.
An entire neighborhood beats a man senseless and steals his car.
I'm not going to play this video because it really doesn't do anything for us, but you can get the idea.
This guy's surrounded by a bunch of thugs, punching and kicking him, beating him senseless, then stealing his car because that's what's been normalized in our country.
BLM, Antifa, and Will Smith, and all these other psychopaths have normalized violence to the point where if a big mob of people get together, and it's getting worse.
There was a good observation somebody said that I was talking to about how with high gas prices, people are being forced to stay at home, especially people at lower income neighborhoods.
They're being forced to stay in their areas, and it's leading to this kind of gang mob mentality, and I think it's all by design.
I really do.
I think 100% this is what they are designing it to do.
If you restrict people's movement and you keep them locked into the conditions where they don't have the mobility that they used to Then, you know, if you put people in close proximity, that's when you have a lot of conflict.
And they know that.
And they want to build up conflict for 2022, the midterm elections in 2024.
So this is their plan.
This is what they're doing.
It only makes sense, if you ask me.
But, you know, it's starting to look a lot like Venezuela here.
This just happened the other day.
Violent Marxists attacked Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, pushed him, beat him, and ripped his shirt off at a restaurant.
Yep.
Yeah, this happened.
And the video's pretty disturbing, but it's just him getting basically pushed around.
People are hitting people with chairs.
It's insane.
So we've basically devolved over time now into essentially a Venezuela-like banana republic.
They steal elections.
We have violent mobs roaming the streets.
This is how communists take over, guys.
This is how it happens everywhere, every time.
The best example that's most modern is to look at China.
I mean, not the most modern, but the best example for how they're trying to do it in America, I think, is to look to China and the Red Guard and the Great Leap Forward and how Mao basically weaponized the youth of the country to go out and to hurt, murder, kill all of his political opposition to the point where they were able to seize power in a violent, violent revolution.
So, historically, it's worth noting that.
Let's see here.
Oh, one more story.
Canada is introducing a mandatory monkeypox quarantine and cities are now offering vaccination.
Yeah, more vaccinations, guys.
I'm sure that's going to end well for everybody.
But welcome to the show.
JustInformedNews.com is the official news website.
InformedNews.com is where you can get breaking news 24-7.
The scripture of the day comes from James 4, verse 6.
But he gives greater grace.
Therefore, he says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
This is one of the things that I live by, basically.
This is one of my most prominently held beliefs through the Bible.
I mean, they're all very much held in the same regard, but this is the one that spoke to me a long time ago that I've been trying to push out into the world about God's grace being greater.
And we're going to talk about it today.
This is the book of James, chapter 4, the first section.
So stick around for that if you want to learn more about it.
We do our segment at the end called God's Grace is Greater, and I invite you to hang out for that.
Also, I want to give a big thank you to Gold Co.
for sponsoring this episode.
I'm just going to ask you a question.
Do you have a 401k or an IRA? Because if you do, you know things are not looking good right now.
The government has printed more money in the past two years than the previous 100 years combined.
The national debt surpassed $30 trillion in inflations off the charts.
It seems to me it's only a matter of time before the House of Cards comes crashing down, so your retirement savings could be at serious risk.
Do me a favor, guys.
Talk to my friends at Gold Co.
to see how you can protect yourself with gold and silver before it's too late.
Do me this other favor.
Go to informedgold.com.
That's it, informedgold.com, and you'll get up to $10,000 in free silver when you open an account.
That's informedgold.com.
There'll be a link below.
You guys go check them out.
They're amazing.
Thank you to them for sponsoring the episode, but thank you in the higher, better part to them for providing the service.
And when you go to that website, you put in your information, and they send you a packet with all the information you need to understand what that looks like to transfer and make your IRA backed by gold and silver.
So, you know, I think, or your 401k.
So go check it out.
These days, it's worth having that in your back pocket.
All right, next story.
FBI says it will not tolerate violence after Kavanaugh attack.
Really?
Huh.
So this is basically just coming out here and them saying that, oh, we're not going to have, we're not going to put up with this violence.
Well, if you're not going to put up the violence, I mean, my simple question to the FBI is they're breaking federal law by protesting at the homes of these justices.
So what part of breaking federal law does the Federal Bureau investigation not want to enforce?
Like, oh, because they break federal law all the time.
And when the federal law being broken helps their political agenda, the FBI doesn't investigate.
But when the federal law being broken is like trespassing in the Capitol, which BLM and Antifa have done more than enough of that and the leftists, too, that's fine.
But if a bunch of patriots who love this country go in and peacefully try to protest a stolen election, no, we've got to start throwing people in jail permanently.
To the gulag you go.
We'll see you in the next one.
Here's another little bit I wanted to share.
Thomas Massey, one of the few honest and intelligent politicians left in D.C., tried to warn us about the impending disaster of the government's COVID response over two years ago.
It hasn't taken long to prove that he was right and everyone else was wrong, Thomas said in 2020 in March, talking about the COVID stimulus.
The stimulus package that just passed is the biggest transfer from common folks to the super-rich Wall Street and bankers in the history of mankind.
Done in the name of a virus with $1,200 checks as cheese in the trap, this will be obvious in short order.
Can't argue with that because that's exactly what happened.
But going further here, you guys have seen this story.
Justin Bieber's face has been paralyzed after being diagnosed with a rare disorder three months after his wife had a stroke.
Both conditions are linked to the COVID vaccine.
Watch this.
Hey, everyone.
Justin here.
I don't mean to laugh.
This is sad.
I wanted to update you guys on what's been going on.
Obviously, as you can probably see from my face...
He's got the crazy eye now.
I have this syndrome called...
Ramsey-Hunt syndrome.
So Ramsey-Hunt syndrome has been directly connected as a side effect to some of the COVID vaccines.
He now has it.
His wife just had a blood clot, had to be rushed to the emergency room, probably almost had some severe complications from that.
But no, they're boosted, so they're safe from the flu.
Oh, they're safe from the flu.
COVID. Oh, no.
But think about it.
This is so widespread that it's hitting people like him.
You'd think that it could miss a lot of people if it wasn't as prominent as it is, but it is very prominent.
And Justin Bieber, I mean, I feel bad for the kid.
I wish that he heals and finds his way back to health, but this is what happens in our society when you have people who don't critically think, being told what to do, following things blindly, and this is what happens, in my opinion.
But don't worry, guys.
The Pentagon's finally quietly admitted that they were funding 46 biolabs in Ukraine after months of dismissing Russian allegations as propaganda.
So it's okay, guys.
Like, because two weeks ago we were propagandists.
We were Russian propagandists.
We were basically Putin lackeys.
But now the Pentagon's, well, by the way, you know, you guys weren't lying.
We actually did all that stuff.
They said we did.
Oh, really?
Oh, really?
Oh, that's fascinating.
Fascinating, fascinating.
I mean, I just find this stuff so fascinating.
Networks quiet as new wave of pro-abortion terror strikes the U.S. Yeah, of course.
Nobody's saying anything about this.
I love this exchange they highlight, though, between CNN. So, and they're like literally, basically this group named Jane's Revenge.
They firebombed a pro-life kind of pregnancy center.
And the person on the CNN is like, how do we even know it was a group or a terrorist attack?
And the lady's like, they spray-painted their name on the wall.
The lady's like, yeah, but how could we even know if they're a group or anything?
It's like...
Oh, man.
They keep people at such a low level as far as critical thought.
It's terrifying.
But here's the LGBTQ suicide cult update.
Parent tossing toddler into arms of drag queens that just finished twerking and spreading their legs in front of children in a pride parade in Hollywood.
Think about the message you're sending your kids.
I mean, take out the fact that these are mentally deranged sickos who like to dress up as women and parade around and pretend that they're women when they're actually men.
Take that away.
Why are you sexualizing your children?
Why are you taking them to events where these people are like provocatively dancing, getting nude, talking about sexual immorality openly and flagrantly?
It's because these people are sick in the head.
It's like Munchausen by proxy is what I've said before.
They want their kid to be just as sick as they are.
And then the same people that would take them there take them to this.
Drag queen flashing young children at a drag queen story hour.
Yeah, it's a real story.
And then this is a fascinating report.
I'll leave this in the link if you want to watch it.
But Paul Joseph Watson basically goes over how it's pretty strange that these patriot front guys were all pulled out of a U-Haul, arrested for going to protest LGBTQ event.
And as he says here, it says, Now the narrative is set that anyone upset with kids being exposed to nudity and sexual themes is a dangerous extremist.
How convenient.
Well, yeah.
And you can watch that for yourself.
I'll leave a link below.
And finally, New Heritage Foundation study says that youth suicide rates are significantly higher in states where puberty blockers trans drugs are easily accessible for children.
Well, you think?
You think that if you take a kid in puberty and you start chemically castrating them or mutilating them with this double mastectomy and all that stuff, you think that's not going to have an effect on their mental health going forward into the future?
Maybe the part of them that knows God, because we all know God at some point in our lives and in our heart, it's inside of us.
We know we have that connection.
It's there.
But if you mutilate yourself and your parents mutilate you, and then you start getting older and you start thinking, man, maybe I wasn't right when I was 12 that I'm a boy.
Maybe I am actually a girl the way God made me, or maybe I am a boy the way God made me.
Then you may start hating yourself.
You may start hating your parents.
You may have all types of mental health issues, but nobody seems to examine that as a danger.
So with that being said, though, let's do our God's grace is greater segment.
Like I said, I'm trying to keep these episodes a little bit shorter.
So today we're going to do pride versus humility.
And this is James chapter 4 verse 1 through 12.
And this is, like I said, this is, you know, you guys see this, God's grace is greater.
That's where this comes from.
This is where it comes from for me.
This is the verse I went to when I was first getting, refining my faith after I had lost my way through high school and college.
And I was coming back to God and begging him to show me the way and to forgive me and to help me find new, you know, new life in him.
And he did.
He did.
We did.
But this is the verse that I look to that helped me realize what God needed me to do at that moment.
So let's read through it.
It says, You fight in war.
You do not have because you do not ask.
You ask and don't receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your evil desires.
Adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God?
So whoever wants to be the world's friend becomes God's enemy.
Or do you think it's without reason, the scripture says, that the spirit who lives in us yearns jealously, but he gives greater grace.
Therefore, he says, God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Therefore, submit to God but resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people.
Be miserable and mourn and weep.
Your laughter must change to mourning and your joy to sorrow.
Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.
Don't criticize one another, brothers.
He who criticizes the brother or judges his brother, criticizes the law and judges the law.
But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy, but who are you to judge your neighbor?
Wow, there is a lot to unpack there.
The first part where it talks about what are the source of wars and fights among us all?
It comes from within.
It comes from our own selfish desires, right?
That's why we fight most of the time.
How do we control those selfish desires?
Well, we have to humbly go to God.
But it says here...
You don't even ask in most cases.
That's why you don't receive what comes from God.
What it's saying is most people don't even go to God, don't even think, maybe I should be looking to God for the answers to the problems in my life, not the world.
Most people don't think that, but then it says you do not have because you do not ask, but then it says you ask and don't receive because you ask with wrong motives so that you spend it on your own evil desires.
So even when people do go to God a lot of times, they're going to God for things that Are selfish, again, that are for your own desires, that are to boost yourself up.
I mean, I think the one thing that we've learned over time, at least I've learned, is that the more I go to God in prayer with humility and honesty and in hopes to help others, the more God answers my prayers.
But the more I go to God with prayer and say, God, you've got to fix this in my life, It's almost like God wants us to work even harder on ourselves to make ourselves better for Him.
And it's not easy.
Trust me, I'm still in the middle of it.
I'm not anywhere near perfect and never will be.
But I know in my heart that I work toward getting better for God every day.
And when I fall and when I slip up, I go to God and ask for forgiveness and I try to humble myself before Him.
Humility is just being humble, knowing that you don't know everything, knowing that God is sovereign, that God's above all.
But then it says, don't you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God, so whoever wants to be friends with the world becomes God's enemy?
Or do you think without reason the scripture says the spirit who lives in us yearns jealousy?
That means the spirit's inside of us.
The Holy Spirit is living right here in our hearts, always.
And the more we look to the world to find fulfillment for this inner desire that we have, the more that the spirit that's already in us is going, what are you doing, guy?
What is wrong with you?
Why do you think that the answer to your problems is out there somewhere in this fallen world that we live in?
The answer is within.
The answer is with the Holy Spirit.
The answer is from God.
The answer is through Jesus.
And those are the ways that we have to reshape the way we look at the world.
Because then it says, He gives greater grace, therefore He says, God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
So, What is the moral?
Humble yourself before God.
Take stock of what you have.
Be thankful of the things you do have.
And when it comes to things that you want and that you don't have...
Re-examine it through a lens of asking yourself, will me receiving this gift honor God?
Will the things that I receive from this world honor God?
And if not, why do I really need them?
Do I need a luxury yacht?
Do I need a fancy house?
Do I need a fancy sports car?
Do I need a million dollars in my bank account?
Unless that's going to be something I use directly to honor God, it's really kind of useless.
And as much as that's hard for a lot of people to swallow, our society culturally tries to manipulate people into believing that that's the only way you're going to find happiness.
If you have this yacht, you have this status, you have this social media following, whatever it is, get your mind off of that.
See, when I lost everything with the whole YouTube purge and everything else, you know, that was tough.
And it hurt.
And it was like, man.
But it really made me take stock and to realize that what was I really chasing?
I was chasing, what, numbers on a digital computer screen?
I was chasing, you know, people following me?
I want to chase people to get them to follow God.
And God's going to put me where I need to be.
So I know I am where God needs me to be right now.
And you're right where God needs you to be too.
But we have to humble ourselves and look to God and say, how are you going to use me in this way, in this situation, to become better for you, to put your word out into the world, to not focus on gaining all these things and losing everything else?
But then there's some wisdom and advice that comes after.
It says, therefore submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
See, it's the same thing I tell people about.
God's always coming after us.
He's coming towards you.
But if you're going the other way, God's not going to be able to catch you.
That's how this works.
You've got to take a point in your life and stop, turn around, look to God and say, God, I need you.
I'm coming to you.
Please, I know you're coming after me.
I'm coming to you.
But what it says there is the exact opposite, which I love.
It says, you resist the devil and he flees from you.
So that means as you're going toward God, you're going away from the devil.
And the devil doesn't want it.
The closer you get to God, the closer we get to God, the further the devil is from us.
And that makes our lives better, and it makes it easier, and it takes away sin, a lot of sin, and it takes away a lot of temptation.
It takes away a lot of heartbreak and pain and suffering.
Not saying that you're not going to experience those things as a Christian.
We are living in a fallen world.
But the further you go toward God, the further you get away from the devil.
And that's how this works.
But then it says, So I think that's just saying, ask forgiveness.
Get this out of your mind.
Stop being double-minded.
Stop living in a way that just ignores God's sovereignty.
It says, A lot of people laugh it off and say, yeah, it is what it is.
On my deathbed, I'll just take care of it then and it'll all be good and God will understand and I'll be able to do what I want until then.
But I think the whole point of this verse is saying, you can't just brush God off.
You can't laugh it away.
You have to make a cognitive choice right now, right here.
I'm asking you to make a choice today.
To put God first in your life above all else.
To go to Him humbly.
And if that means you have to look back on your life and weep and mourn about the life that you know you'll lose, the worldly life, the things that you're involved with, the sin that you've become accustomed to, that's what you have to have the mentality of.
Because in that moment where you think it's all lost, where you're pain and mourning and crying and weeping, that's when God swoops in and He shows you something that you never knew was there.
He did it for me.
And that's why I know He can do it for you.
He'll show you that way.
It's incredible and amazing.
So, then it finally goes on to say, don't criticize one another, brothers.
He who criticizes his brother, judges his brother, criticizes the law, and judges the law.
This is what I always try to remind people, is that you've got to work on yourself before you can even have a chance at helping others.
If you're not living a godly life, if you're not living in all the ways that we've walked through just up until now, then it's going to be impossible for you to help others.
See, because...
There's a lot of verses in the Bible that talk about how, you know, one of them specifically talks about how, you know, spiritually we need milk at first before we can have solid food because we grow in Christ over time.
So I think what this is saying is that God is the only judge and lawgiver.
We follow his commands and he is the judge.
Now we can rebuke evil.
We can stand up against it in all its forms.
We can stand up against it firmly with God in our side.
But We're not meant to judge.
We're meant to go into the world and lead by example and live in Christ and humbly submit to Him.
So that's my message to all of you out there.
Just remember those principles.
And I think, I know that if you truly live with that earnestly in your heart, then you'll honor God and that's what this is all about.
So that's where we're going to end it.
I'm going to end it with a prayer and then I'll go over the live chat on Foxhole.
Dear Lord, Heavenly Father, thank you for this day.
Lord, we pray that your grace continues to be greater.
We know it is.
And we pray that all those who are living in this world of desire, this fallen world of sin, that you'll uplift them, that you'll show them that there's a way outside of the sin they've lived in, and that even though it seems difficult or maybe impossible to some at this very moment who are listening, That they can be uplifted.
They can be saved.
They can save others.
They can go in the world and do great things.
They will do great things with you.
I pray, Lord, that you show them that in their heart.
Open their heart up.
Help them embrace the Holy Spirit that already lives inside of them and look away from the fallen, sinful world that we live in.
Look to the inside, to the Holy Spirit, and look to you, Lord, above and your Son for all the guidance, all the meaning, all the things that we need in our lives to be great, Lord.
We pray that you'll help us do those things for you.
We thank you for this day and every day, and most of all, our eternal salvation, bought and paid for by the blood of Christ on the cross.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Alright guys, hope you enjoyed that.
I'm going to go ahead and sign off and then I'm going to jump on the chat over on Foxhole.
And yeah, other than that, until next time, my name is Craig.
