Episode #198: Netflix Documentary: Apocalypse in the Tropics Review Pt. 2

De'Vannon Seráphino: [00:00:00] One pastor in here said in this documentary, said he feels like he should be able to give his political opinions and things like that. In other words, he knows full well that when he amounts that pool pit and says, vote for this person or not, that the people in that community are gonna go and listen to his ass, is what he's saying is that he feels like he should be able to control people.

I disagree with him, but in his head he, I'm looking at this dude and he's like, I can see he's lost. And the thing about a preacher or a pastor is they're either gonna be we, or either gonna be really, really strong or really, really weak. There is no in-between. Mm-hmm. Not when you really been called and commissioned by God.

It's like you can't, it's just a thing with us. We are either entirely strong or like entirely weak, and you can't look at a preacher and detect when they have become weak. Not, not without being close enough to the Lord now, but, but this dude, the way the camera [00:01:00] follows some of these pastors and preachers around, the way that they talk, the way that they are into the clout and the people bending over backwards for them is like they've taken the worship that should have gone to the Lord and they have taken it unto themselves.

Okay, but he still has his money. He still has his position currently, and and you can't look at that and necessarily see that he has become weak. So you have to learn how to talk to God so he can tell you what's going on with your leaders. Or to tell you, you don't go to the church anymore and maybe you'll just fall out of agreement with it.

Maybe you'll lose the taste for it sort of thing. God has many ways of directing us away from something when it's time for us to lose it. And you might need to lose, leave your church. You might need to lose your church, lose that congregation, lose that church family. Depends on if they've taken a turn for the devil and it could happen.

So be cautious of the charisma of such people. It is a form of [00:02:00] hypnosis and it will deceive you if you let it. Listen, pray and analyze whatever you are told. I don't care who's telling it to you. Whoever, pray fast and read your Bible and take it before the Holy Ghost to get clarity. Don't just get emotional and run off and do whatever a preacher tells you to do, and a preacher is supposed to clarify things, not tell you what to choose.

I said at the beginning of this, so a preacher trying to tell you, vote for this person, not for that person that's called using their platform to achieve an intended result. This is a wrong. I stand against it in the name of Jesus, I stand against it and I speak against it. Preachers should shut their mouths about trying to coerce their congregation and dominate them.

'cause what they're saying is they feel like you're weak minded enough to do whatever the fuck they tell you. And that's not true. The preacher's supposed to stand there [00:03:00] and give you options and give you clarification, and then let you go live Whatever the fuck your consequences are gonna be based on whatever the fuck you decide to fucking go, do not tell you what to do.

Not to that degree. We might firmly suggest certain things like, but it has to be explained. Like I've explained. Say, don't do crystal meth or crack, but I told you why. But say, then I gave you all the examples and things like that. That's completely different. I would never, ever tell you a vote for this person or vote for that person.

Oh, but no. Mm-hmm. I personally don't fuck with the voting system. I don't like what has become of it. Okay. It, the, the, the way it feels to me and everything and the way these people have gotten, it's like, I don't want the karma or the accountability for putting any fucking body in office these days. And so I [00:04:00] say my prayers and I deal with my influence, quote unquote, over the voting system spiritually.

And I refuse to to, to deal with, with, with voting. I don't want to, I don't want to. Now that should I have to just have to see what, what it is. But, but the, the sort of, just the way it is now, I don't, I don't like to deal with the voting system at all because it is too corrupt, has too much evil in it, and it's like.

It is just like spiritually, I don't want to be accountable for what any side of the aisle does. And if I cast a vote for somebody, I feel like I have some karmic accountability with it. I really, really do. And the sort of the way it is, I've just decided just step away from it.

Now, one thing I do agree with Ms. Costa, and like she was talking about [00:05:00] in this documentary at at Bolsonaro inauguration, you had like this one individual flinging like scriptures around that I felt were not like acceptable. Like if you're, this is a time and a place for certain scriptures to be stated and things like that, but but it, it, it was just like, completely like, out of order. You'd have to like really go go and watch this to define this portion, what I'm talking about. This is one of the, the few points that I actually agree

With her at Bolsonaro's inauguration. It's like, it's kind of like that. It's like he was using them in like, in like in a manipulating sort of way when if I'm recalling this correctly, I don't, and I don't, and I did not care for it on this Ms. Costa and I agree.

Now, one portion of this Ms. [00:06:00] Costa is talking about like the book of Revelation towards the end of like, like the second portion of it. It towards the end of chapter two.

And, and Ms. Costa seems to be bitter about the way Jesus is going forth in the judgment. And, but is, but you know, that's a part of who he is that she seems to like, have a problem with the fact that in the book of Revelation Jesus shows up with like the fire in his eyes and everything like that, and he's talking about how he's gonna come against the people of the church and everything and, and she's saying, well, this isn't the same Jesus, that like sat on the Mount of Olives, the things like that.

Well, I'm like, hold up. First of all, somebody new to their faith, like she's already told you she is, should not be poking around in the book of Revelation of all things and trying to render like a reason from it. It's a very complex book to read and there are eschatologists. [00:07:00] You know that, that exist who study the end times.

I have studied with Eschatologists and have studied eschatology and things like that before, and people like myself and these people who I've had on my show in times past and give you a better breakdown of the book of Revelation than this fleeting shootdown of it that the narrator and the director of this, of this documentary did.

The, the thing here is Jesus Christ gets to have his personality. He is the supreme deity, okay, God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost three and one. He gets to be calm and he gets to, to, to judge too. That's a part of it. And so this, this attitude that the narrator of this documentary, Ms. Petra Costa has that. She couldn't get like the texture change from Jesus being more meek when he was here in his physical form versus when he visited John the [00:08:00] Revelator on the isle, the Patmos with the book of Revelation. We all have our ways to us. We're not all quiet and calm all the time. Sometimes we've had to have physical fights, we've had yelling fights.

We might have to do spiritual battle fights and all kinds of things. Ain't nobody just one note all the damn time. So why does Jesus Christ have to be all meek and humble all the time when we have all these different layers of our personality too? It's like she's trying to strip Christ's personality and his freedom to be himself away from him because he's not acting like how she thinks he should act.

Y'all better be damn careful about that attitude y'all have towards God with this. He didn't. Act like how I thought he should act. He let the child die, he let the floods come, he let the tornado come. How could he have done that? Hell exists. God wouldn't, A loving God wouldn't have created hell.

Whatever the [00:09:00] case might be. That's based on your analysis. You better be careful with that rhetoric that you think you know better than, than, than, than, than the original celestials do.

For further clarification on like the book of Revelation and things like that, you can go to like www.BranchIsole.com and www.OverviewBible.com, and I will put both of those websites in the show notes as well. I've had both of those guys on my show. Branch Isole is one person. Jeffrey Kranz is another . and, and, and they're, and they're very, very good at what they do in terms of like their biblical research and things like that. And I really, really respect the minds that both of those men have.

And as a reminder, the Bible is not homophobic. All of that sort of foolishness comes up in [00:10:00]and this documentary as well. It isn't those clobber passages that exist. There's so many books that have been written. What is it? God and the Gay Christian, you can literally Google it now. And all it was is a.

The, the, those, those passages just were not translated properly. It is not easy to translate Hebrew, Aramaic ancient Greek and things like that. It comes down to interpretation. And really what God is doing is leaving somebody's heart in their own hands. So when you have these complex non romance languages to interpret is very subjective.

So if you really wanna push the issue and try to act like what they were saying is that two men can't get married and fall in love and have a totally monogamous relationship before God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, and go to heaven, then that's on you. If you don't wanna believe that, but, but, but if not then, and if you actually think it's cool, then that's also on you.

The way [00:11:00] those languages are left up for interpretation is very reflective of the person. But Jesus Christ said, whoso offers praise glorifies the Lord. It does not matter who you are. And as long as you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, then you get to get into heaven. It does not matter who you are now.

You gotta live right and adjust yourself. But the Lord is not checking for, for like, for like this sort of thing. The way people try to act like

but just remember that the way you interpret scriptures, a reflection of you and not necessarily a reflection of what is written, which is the interestingly beautiful thing to me about it. 'cause the Bible is not perfect. It was never going to be the only perfect beings are God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.

Everything else has room to grow. Nobody has ever had a perfect ministry. It was never going to be that way. That is by design, because nobody can be perfect, but God, Jesus Christ, and the [00:12:00] Holy Ghost, it's the only way. And so. You can't be sitting there looking at the Bible expecting it to have that been written perfectly.

You're not perfect. I'm not perfect. My ministry ain't perfect. Nobody's ever had a perfect ministry. We gonna fuck up somewhere. And what we do, we say we're sorry and we press on. That's all that there is to it. So your job is to go through that Bible for yourself, interpret it for yourself from its original languages.

When you come to come to complicated things like those clobber passages, Google, the Greek, the Aramaic, and the Hebrew, it's super easy. Now. You even have to tote the thick books around if you really wanna know what the Lord is saying. The knowledge is literally as far as your fucking iPhone. Know whatever's cell phone you have.

If it's important enough to you, and if you really, really wanna know the Lord, you can, but you gotta go deeper than how those books are interpreted. 'cause every interpretation of the Bible is an interpretation that somebody else's interpretation. You have got to go [00:13:00] into those original languages yourself.

Find out it's not needed for every single word in the Bible, but only if you have a conflict with something or if it's something that's gonna cause you to judge somebody you know, you might want to look deeper than that. 'cause people who have tried to come to me and be like, the Bible clearly says this, this and that.

I said, oh really? What does it say? And then the only thing they can tell me is the New international version or the King James version. I'm, and I'm asking them on like a Hebrew Aramaic level, what did it say and how did you really go through there and cross reference and skip trace through it and oh no, they didn't do that.

So you can't even much approach me to try to like debate the Bible, if you can't talk to me about your method of interpreting the Hebrew, the Aramaic, and the Greek from it. 'cause other than that, you're trying to tell me all I'm not, and what I'm not supposed to be based on somebody else's interpretation, which is lazy as [00:14:00] fuck.

And most church people are lazy as fuck when it comes to their interpreting of scripture. 'cause they're just gonna go off of whatever version they're reading in their app. That's not you interpreting the Bible, that's somebody else's shit. So now that works for you. That works for you. But don't you dare try to tell us, don't you fucking dare try to tell somebody else how they're supposed to live.

And your ass was too lazy to actually get into say the clobber passages and actually see the truth there. There's, there's nothing in that at all that says anything against homosexuality. That wasn't even a word back. That word was added within the last, like something like couple of hundred years to the Bible.

It wasn't even in there. And so y'all need to get y'all's history right before you come out trying to say Who's going to hell for being queer? And stop being lazy and actually interpret the original languages of the Bible if you're [00:15:00] going to bother. It's not, I'm just gonna leave it at that

and see not, not everybody who claims to hear from God does. I was responding to somebody on my TikTok channel earlier. Who was trying to say, I don't know what I'm talking about when I say things like, God told me there's no more reincarnation or God told me to tell y'all to, to uncage him or trying to say that, that I don't actually hear from the Lord.

And so this is the thing. You definitely have false prophets and false preachers who go forth trying to speak, but God has not spoken. But don't you let Lucifer deceive you? Now, it's the same thing I told that child over my TikTok channel. I was like, look, little dude, okay, don't you let the devil get your ass cast into hell by becoming [00:16:00] jaded over this whole thing where you have had false prophets and false preachers.

But don't you think for a moment that God has never sent no real prophet and no real preacher either? As they say, don't you throw the baby out with the bath water. Right. Don't you throw away good counsel, good knowledge, good wisdom, and true divinity coming to you because you think that every preacher and every prophet has been fake since the dawn of time.

'cause you could have a real one sitting right in front of you and the thing is you have gotten your warning and you have gotten your catastrophe that's going to come to you if you disobey the warning of the prophet of the most high God. And so you have not met all 9 billion people who walk this earth enough.

And you just haven't, you haven't met every person, you haven't not met every type of person you had, did not meet [00:17:00] those people from, from the history that you're trying to say ain't real. To try to draw this conclusion like this dude on my TikTok channel trying to say. That none of us know what we're talking about or none of us were sent by the Lord.

No what that is is an easy way for you to prop up the lifestyle you wanna live when we're actually challenging you and gut checking you. 'cause that's what the word of God does. It challenges people it disturbs the lies that they live. 'cause the Lord is trying to help you have truly help you have a truly happy life while you live and not go to hell.

And we'll talk about hell in a minute here. 'cause some people really hate the fact that such a thing exists and they just don't see how God could ever have done such a thing. 'cause then they're arrogance. They think they could tell the Almighty what to do. And their emotionalism too. People are so emotional and unwisely emotional.

But don't y'all [00:18:00] be fooled, don't you let the devil make you jaded and bitter? Then you have a whole ass person standing in front of you who's truly hearing from heaven, who's come to you with compassion and in mercy and in love, and to take all the to, to live the sort of life that is required of somebody to hear from the Lord and deliver such messages, and to go through all of that and is real and you fuck it up just because you think that no, that some of y'all have never even met a true prophet before. The best you've ever had in front of you was like a psychic or a tarot reader or something like that, and you haven't ever authentically met somebody who can hear from, from, from the original creator of all things.

Do you understand what I just said? That is no small thing for somebody to be truly sent. From God to, to actually try to help you and deal with your ass. That is no small thing, but the devil will naturally [00:19:00] try to naysay it and try to tell you they're not saying anything. And that person's crazy. They told Noah the same thing in the days of the ark.

He told them it's gonna rain. The, the naysayer says it's no such thing as rain. Well, they drowned. Okay. Moses we're coming up out of Egypt. No, you won't. Well, they did. So you might not believe, but your unbelief won't change what is to come.

And in this documentary, people get into these offices, these high level positions or low level ones or whatever, in all kinds of treacherous ass ways, and they turn around and thank Jesus for it. It's like technically, on the one hand, they're not wrong because ain't nobody in no position of authority that the Lord has not allowed to be there.

Now, their tactics and their lifestyles on the other hand, is what you gotta learn to separate and [00:20:00] discern, not necessarily associate God with, but whether it was Bolsonaro or Trump, or if you don't like Benjamin Netanyahu or Putin or whomever. Well, at the end of the day, the Lord is the one who allowed them to be in that office, whether you like it or not.

But that does not mean that that person is of God. But the lot is cast and it's every outcome is of the Lord. God is in control whether you think he is or isn't. But you can't look at the people and be like, only if the people you wanted to be in office would be in office, would you have faith in God or think he's in control.

It don't work that way, that that's you trying to have everything the way you want, and you've got to get over yourself. If you're really gonna walk with the Lord and die, go to heaven. You've got to get over you and how you think shit's supposed to be, because we'd be making these decision y'all's, and it'd be being informed by all kind of old ass pain and hurt and Treachery and trauma and all [00:21:00] kinds of things.

And we're not being as clear minded and reasoning as we might like to think sometimes, especially when it comes to things that be having us up in our emotions like our children and politics, our sex lives and all these sort of things. People have a way of letting Lucifer get in there and fuck with them and they get real grabby.

Like they don't wanna let go. Like they don't wanna let go of how they've been. But the first thing with God is you. You gotta let go so he can turn you into what you need to be. If you knew better than God, then why would you need him in the first place? But you go to God to get changed in the first place and you're gonna let go of how you used to live, 'cause of what has been need.

Not always be, who am I quoting now? The Witcher. What has been need? Not always be what has been need. Not always be, you may not always date the same. The attracted to the same. Think the same, feel the same about anything. [00:22:00] Anything is subject to change except for the Lord. He says he is God. He changes not. The rest of us Gotta change if we have to.

It doesn't matter what you are, you have to grow in some type of way. If you're not the most high.

Now let me, Hmm. Continue on with this hell thing. So Costa, Petra Costa of the narrator and director of this show tries to put a division between the fact that hell exists, that there is to be a final judgment in God's love being infinite. This is false. So basically in her head, she's trying to say that, and it is so rose colored glasses, y'all have got to watch this.

She's like, God's love is infinite and it's all like peachy and all of this. So there's no way that hell can exist and a judgment 'cause God's love is infinite there. I've heard people say[00:23:00]

God is a loving God. He won't judge you. Yes, he does. Just like judgment's a part of it. Oh my God. It's like all throughout the Bible. It's just, it's it's, it is just what it is, y'all. It's like, because if you really, really think about it. Y'all have this shit with you. Like you, nobody nowhere would disagree with the fact that say, like karma exists, which is nothing more than like the devil's way of trying to say that God is gonna balance scales without giving God credit for balancing the scales.

God has been balancing scales since the days of Adam and Eve. The first people walk the earth long before the Eastern religion set up this idea of karma like God is karma. Like it's not some. Invisible force just happens to balance shit out, it has to be done by a sentient being saying, you did this, so this has to come back to you this way.

But it's not just for the purposes of it coming back to you that way, God is [00:24:00] karma. But when that karma comes back to you and it's a negative, it's also a chance for you to evolve, to change, to get closer to Christ. To confess that you were wrong is a chance for growth, is a, it is an opportunity for more than just, it's more than just an ass whooping, it's, it's growth and this is, this is how God is. God's love is infinite. So I guess I would agree with Ms. Costa on that aspect. God, God's love is in infinite, but it's based on you accepting the sacrifice of his Son on the cross. You have to have a relationship with Christ or you will be turned away from the gates of heaven based on lack of said relationship.

Okay. In my visions, I have seen the final judgment, my predecessors. In the Bible I've seen the final judgment. Okay? My grandmother saw like this huge sun set on fire thing, which was also like a sign of doomsday. There have been so many of us sent here with vision to this [00:25:00] earth to warn you of judgment to come.

All right? Have spoken of dreams that I have had about Armageddon, about prep preparations being made for that, about how I saw the sky peel back and things like that. Child. Don't you let people like this woman who narrated this, get into your head about how God just supposed to be this big, fluffy ass person who just will just continue to be nice no matter what.

And like there's never gonna be a judgment day or a day for your comeuppance. Yes it is. So get rid of the rose colored glasses. Get rid of the rose colored glasses, and get into that Bible and pray fast and read your Bible. Don't let these people. Get all mushy in their emotions because what she's effectively saying is that in her expert opinion, she doesn't think that hell should exist or that there should be a judgment.

But like I'm telling you all, you have enough audacity to believe in the [00:26:00] concept of bad karma, which for some people is a type of hell any fucking way. So you believe in some sort of punishment and retribution for bad behavior. You believe that, but then in your fucking opinion, which you think eclipses God's truth is that hell is too far of a judgment, too far of a punishment, but bad karma is real, but hell is too far.

So you're hypocritical in that exact thing. It is not for you to say how far judgment's supposed to go, when it should stop or anything like that, but you have enough sense to know that every bad deed has to be. Addressed. Okay then. Then you should, you should not try to limit God to the ex to the extent he wishes to address it.

So if he's telling you that he ha that there is hell and that there's all of that, and you're disagreeing with God on that, but you wanna agree that there's bad karma, okay? [00:27:00] And that people have to be punished when they do wrong, which nobody would dare try to disagree with that. So what you have in effect done is made your little bitty self a judge over celestial affairs.

Oh, we, and you should not have done this thing. So y'all need to slow down and pay attention and listen to how you sound. It sounds all hippie dippy and flower child. Oh, God is love. He won't judge hell. Oh, that's so mean. Get away from all of that. No, there's no final judgment. We're just reincarnate this child.

That's just the type of shit that the devil would have you think. Don't they say if it sounds too good to be true? It probably is. That just sounds fucking flower child foolish to me. There ain't nothing wrong with being a flower child, but some shit is just too damn glossy eyed over it is not rooted in reality.

I disagree with this woman. [00:28:00] Don't y'all get caught up in this foolishness of of of Miss Costa here with this whole like God is just love and that like that. A lot of universe rhetoric has that in It just is all love and it's just all this love. Just love all the fucking time. And is it, no, that's just not the way shit works.

Like you have to have like balance with things. Jesus Christ is totally about love. He actually says he came to make a division not. And separation not to, to bring together like you would think because you have to pick who you're going to serve, whether they're gonna be God or mammom, as he says, you're either gonna serve God or humans.

These other deities and shit like that. I said the Bible talks about it in the last days. Everybody's gonna be called by their God. I think that was in the book of Shucks. It wasn't Malachi. It's something else that starts with an M in the Old Testament. I was reading not too long ago, and it [00:29:00] talks about how in the last days everybody's gonna be called by their God.

You're seeing that play out. Now. The thing about prophecy, like I was telling you earlier, I was talking to somebody on my TikTok channel. I was telling them like, your unbelief doesn't change a damn thing. The purpose of the Lord, the council of the Lord is gonna prevail and stand right in front of your face.

whether you think it is or it won't. It does not matter what you fucking believe. And so what part of the prophecy of the way that you could tell that the the age is winding down is that everybody will walk in the name of their God. See, I lived . during the time where we used to pray in grade school and all the elementary school, and then they hushed all that, and then the world got quiet about spiritual beliefs.

Then all this universe shit popped up and now everybody talks about their spiritual beliefs like never fucking before in my day. Well, they did this at the beginning. Back in the Bible days, everybody went forth [00:30:00] in the name of their God. They doing that same shit now. I was walking through Brooklyn.

There's like an osirus, like barbershop or something like that. I see hair shops named after these deities and goddesses and things like that. There's musical things named after deities. But that Ashram Garam thing is like a deity. That burning man thing that is like the god Molech, that, that, that deity that they, that they burned, sacrificed fucking children onto.

I kept looking at that thing, that Burning man thing. Like what is that being in that fire and why is it, and I never could quite get comfortable with that thing. And then I, and then I extrapolated in the spirit. I was dealing in the Holy Ghosts. 'cause an agency that deals with Burning Man dealt with like this nightclub in Brooklyn fundraising for Burning Man.

And [00:31:00] they all about like this deity sex magic shit. And then I was like, all y'all tied up with Burning Man. And I was like, and then the Holy Ghost revealed to me that, that, that that person, and I don't care what they might tell you, that thing is the God Molech is what that is. And, and everybody is, is just so bold and I mean outspoken about what the fuck they believe spiritually now.

Like it has not always been this way. They'll tell you they're for the universe or they'll worship their ancestors. Are they polytheistic or they're for this deity or that deity, or they're for Jesus Christ or they don't believe in shit, or they think the . earth is their God or the moon or whatever.

Everybody is about what the fuck they're about now, and it, and this was already prophesied that in the last days everybody will go forth in the name of his God. It is spoken in the scripture already, but you have to get into the Bible and read to come across this sort of prophecy. It's already there. It is already being played [00:32:00] out before your very eyes.

Whether you believe it or not, it's gonna happen regardless.

I've also warned y'all about poking around in other books besides the Bible and what, what the council is, is that you're gonna be curious about it. Be sure you showed yourself with prayer, fasting, and Bible study. And I mean other books like the books of Sophia, the books of Enoch. The Kybalion, these different grimoires and different things like that.

'cause some things have a spirit to them. Every word is a spell. Every sentence it's a spell. And the books can have subtle spells worked into the way that it is written to have a, a negative influence on you. And they may not just say so. So read it in parts. Don't read the whole damn thing that fast. Pray fast and read the Holy Bible and be damn careful you know [00:33:00] about those things.

'cause they will draw you away from Christ. And, and, and, and then these people are trying to tell you that there's never gonna be a judgment

and it is just not worth risking going to hell over. He says there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth and everlasting flames. And, and the worst thing of all is there's no God, Jesus Christ and no Holy Ghost there. 'cause if they want to, they could take the heat outta flames. Anyway, so, so, so the, the flames of it and the pain of it to me ain't as much of the damn problem is that No God being in it sort of a thing.

So, so it's not worth it, like following Christ cost you nothing. Like I don't understand what people think they're going to lose about following Jesus Christ. Now this can't be based on what some preacher told you. You have to get into the Bible and really [00:34:00] analyze what a life following Jesus Christ would look like and what it is you think you're going to have to give up, that you don't want to give up and, or sort out why you're still pissed off at Jesus or whatever the case might be.

You know what, what, what, what is it really?

And remember faith is required to believe in anything. Or anyone, be it present day or thousands of years ago, then absolutely everybody walks in some type of faith. It's just a matter of who and what you're choosing to put yours in. You believe a doctor is going to help you when you go to them, even if you've never met them.

You believe they can put you under the knife and that they won't kill you, you think you can eat at a restaurant and they won't poison you. You think you can sit on a train or a bus or a plane and that you'll make it to your destination safely. You believe you can drop your child off at school or at daycare that they'll be there when you come back.

People put [00:35:00] faith in people all the fucking time. You believe your partner won't let me go down that road. You're supposed to have faith in that. You believe here. I know we believe in all kinds of things, y'all, 

And see faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen as the book of Hebrews tells us. That's what faith is. Whether or not you believe that you are in Christ or not, you're walking in faith on a daily basis. You believe. You believe from the time you wake up to the time you lay down and go to bed, and then you do it all over again.

There's all kinds of belief cuz you only have control over what you can do with, with anything else. You're believing that person's going to do it or not. There's all kinds of faith.

It's just everywhere. Just, just belief. Just really think about it. You could go down [00:36:00] I mean anything. It takes faith to believe that a store is gonna be open, that a play is actually gonna start that's actually gonna be there whatever the case might be that your employer is gonna pay you.

Like there's all kinds of ways that we employ faith. You see what I'm saying? The other question on the floor is you got all this faith gobbles of it. Really? We all do. Why won't you give it to Jesus? Like what? And that's, and that again, that's not, I can't tell you to pick him, but I'm trying to point out to you is do you really have a solid reason to be anti-Christ?

Because if you're not for Christ, you are Antichrist. So if you're gonna take that moniker on and you can't say you're not antichrist, it doesn't work that way. 'cause Jesus said, if you're not for him, you are anti-Christ. And if you don't want to say you're Antichrist, he says he's gonna make that decision for you and spew you out of his [00:37:00] mouth since you can't be hot or cold, he's gonna spew you out.

Since you're gonna be lukewarm, that's called people who don't wanna say they're anti-Christ or don't wanna be for Christ, you're anti-Christ anyway. And so what I'm trying to get you to understand is to list out why, what is the problem you have with him? Like write it out. Don't let it just be in your emotions.

'cause that's the devil's playground. You gotta like write stuff out to sniff out the devil and then drive, drive him out.

Now, now Bolsonaro's opponent

Luiz Inácio was saying like,

like, you can only go to God through like the priest. The priest who act like in intermediaries. It's like he got like the Catholicism and the Evangelical [00:38:00] like way mixed up or something like that, or that he did it on purpose. So I disagree with Bolsonaro's. Opponent, it's like he took a truth from a different faith and then lied and tried to twist it and used it as a weapon against the evangelicals.

So I did not care for that. And I don't care for like how politicians and PE and certain leaders, if you wanna call 'em, that will say things that they know are a lie to evoke an emotional response from you, and then try to get you to act on that emotional response, which was evoked based on a lie.

That they told you. That's that hypnosis, that's that negative use of the power of hypnotism in order to to, to wield people a certain way. These politicians will say something that they know ain't true, that'll piss you off, and then you'll carry that anger with you to the voting booth, is what they're hoping.

That is Catholics that try to tell you that you [00:39:00] have to like have an intermediary between them and the Lord, hence the confessionals and stuff like that. I, I have a very low opinion of evangelicalism as a religion, although the people who follow it seem like they're actually trying to do the right thing.

It's a very manipulative fucking religion though. But in my studies of evangelicalism, that's, that's not one that I could even put on them. That sounds like Catholicism to me. And as I told you, I'll be doing shows on Catholicism. In, in detail about all the things that I, that I just despise about Catholicism of.

But that ain't, that ain't one I can put on evangelicals and I don't like the fact that his opponent lied to, to try to, to, to, to do that. I don't think he should have done that.

Now there's one lady who was so like obsessed with [00:40:00] Bolsonaro. She said that his opponent, Luiz Inácio has sound programs, which could help the society and she will vote. But she said she's gonna vote primarily based on her religion and if the candidate aligns with her faith views. You, you, you see how like stupid that sounds, and this lady was functioning at the highest capacity that she has mentally and emotionally to what she's saying is she's voting in a political capacity.

But politics be damned. And she's gonna vote based on how she feels about it faith wise. So that makes no sense because if you wanna pastor, you go down to the church for that. But these people are supposed to be voted on based on their political shit, over their faith views. 'cause it's the [00:41:00] politics that is gonna change whether or not you can go down and afford food at the grocery store, the cost of your utilities and things like that.

So this girl here is saying, even though Bolsonaro's, opponent is gonna make her life better with his policies, she's gonna vote for Bolsonaro anyway because he's evangelical. That, but then you gonna be broke, boo. That doesn't make any sense and hungry and hangry and shit like girl. But that's how weak somebody could get into their mind that they think that.

I just can't make any sense outta that. That's just weak mindedness. And that's somebody who's manipulating the weak minded. And that's just the end of that. And that's just the way it is. So, but for those of you who could rise up from being weak minded, you vote if you're going to bother to[00:42:00] vote and you vote on the political issues at hand and on your best

understanding of physical, tangible things that that politician is saying that they can do for you, not who they pray to. That has nothing to do with their PO politics like that because everybody's claiming they believe in God on some level with any of this. And so the only like dividing line is really the politics at the end of the day in terms of what you, what's gonna affect you in your four walls is the politics.

Not whether or not Bolsonaro is, is Evangelical. Then you don't know Bolsonaro, you don't know Trump, you don't know Netanyahu, you don't know these people when they actually get home. You don't really know them. You don't follow them home. You're not in their inner [00:43:00] circles. And when they're on television and when they're like, they're on in any kind of like public facing angle. They're at work, so they're putting on a show. They're at work. They're at work. And so you have not gone home with these people and just 'cause you were over there for a Kiki or a party that one time don't mean you know these people. So what am I saying?

You people wanna follow Bolsonaro or whoever because you think you know them so well and you don't care about what their political views are. Just because you're both evangelical, you can trust them. You are a naive individual, although quite loving I'm sure, but you're not operating in like a high level of intelligence if you're gonna be that emotional and just let yourself be dominated, dictated to and steamroll because of who somebody's supposed to be.

I have stood in front of enough judges. [00:44:00] I've gone to court for various things, from criminal to bankruptcies, to different things like that, to know that power truly does belong to God. Being

A man who is West African and Creole and queer, having stood before, white judges who the Lord touched and caused them to grant me mercy and leniency. Even in the face of prosecutors who were trying to throw the book at me, I have seen God reach down into authority and tell them this is what's going to happen, and that's not what's going to happen.

And it went the way Yahweh said it was going to go, not how statistically you might have thought it would have went, but when God gets ready, authority is gonna bend to him. So it's all about how you believe, how your faith is. The spirit world really runs this world. The spirit world really dominates this world.

And that's just, and that's [00:45:00] just what it is. And so I advise you all to align yourself with God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost who actually run everything. And it may not look as pretty as you think it's supposed to look. It may not sound like how you think it's supposed to sound. It may may not taste like you wanted to taste, but you have to get on.

You have to get a firm understanding of the Lord because these powers, these politicians, you don't really know man. They might be saying they're evangelical and worshiping like the devil, or doing witchcraft and all kinds of shit. You just don't know these people. But one thing they have about them is they like to be in control, and these spirits will come and try to control you through any type of manner.

Talk you out of who you are, dominate you. That's something that's very common about these devils about how they present. They like to show up and dominate and control and do all these sorts of things. And so,[00:46:00]

so be careful with how y'all believe and how y'all, how are going about all of this. So the warnings throughout this message we're against firearm, idolatry, political idolatry. Okay. Judging people, forgetting abortions, wanting to use drugs, minding where you're. Sensations are your emotions, and I shot down the, the narrator, the director and the creator of this

. Petra Costa, her her very anti-Christ tone that she has throughout this whole thing. I disagree with it fundamentally, and I counsel you towards Christ, not away from Christ. I've been through like a whole lot in this life. And I yet love the Lord and I yet serve him. And I yet stand before the most high God, who is also called the ancient of days.

And I believe in Jesus Christ. And he has [00:47:00] everything to me. And he has opened every door for me and continues to do so. All right? And so,

so be encouraged. Be prayerful, be fasting. Be in your Bibles. And do not get discouraged and dissuaded by the political landscape 'cause that does not run. Things the way you think the Spirit world runs this world and it's God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost who dominate every spirit where they have created everything.
