The Revolution No One Sees Coming

0:00:00 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Did you know there’s a revolution starting in our country? It hasn’t grown too big, but it is something you need to learn about. And I’m going to expose it in the next More Faith, More Life podcast.

0:00:10 – (Pastor Steve Gray): You were made for more than the status quo. I’m Pastor Steve Gray, and this is the More Faith, More Life podcast. This podcast is for Christians with an ambitious heart who want to be more for their family, do more with their career, and see more of God’s promises in their life. I’ve spent many years as a worship artist, minister, nonprofit leader, bold truth speaker, and most importantly, father and spouse.

0:00:35 – (Pastor Steve Gray): When I was in my early 40s, I was craving more. More from God and more from life. I’d done everything I was supposed to do. My life was good, but it wasn’t good enough. So I spent the following years diving into the Word of God and searching for the biblical principles that that would bring me closer to God and help my purpose and life flourish. That’s what I want to share with you. In every episode, you’ll get practical tools based on real life experiences that you can put into action to redefine your faith and ultimately your life.

0:01:10 – (Pastor Steve Gray): So if you’re ready to do more, subscribe to More Faith, More Life and hear an unfiltered biblical truth every week. It’s time to be an experience.

0:01:19 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Experience more. Hello, everybody, and welcome to another More Faith, More Life podcast, the voice of revival. And I should start off well, I got Zion with me. You’ve been on too many to be a guest. You live here now, moved in. And we’re going to talk about many great things today about the Bolshevik Revolution and what’s happening in our country and what. And how it applies biblically to us because that’s what we do. I don’t want to be political, I want to be spiritual. But I’m picking up some of the stuff around us. But we also want to mention Thanksgiving because there is a power of being thankful. And I don’t know what your opinion is of this, but it. It gives me the impression that there’s not a lot of Thanksgiving in our country right now.

0:02:05 – (Zion Vierra): Yeah, there’s tension.

0:02:06 – (Pastor Steve Gray): A lot of tension. A lot of disgruntled people y and angry at government, angry at the politicians, angry at this side and that side, angry at life. Not much Thanksgiving. And so the Bible teaches if you want to empower your prayers, you go when you have needs, that you go with prayer and Thanksgiving. Yeah. And so I’m a very Thankful person. But that’s probably because I’ve been able to walk in this so many years and get the blessings of the kingdom of God and not get entangled because you.

0:02:43 – (Pastor Steve Gray): You. You know my story too. I mean, I didn’t grow up rich or anything, you know, but to. To where we are today, I am. And then you are now too, in it. So. So maybe that’s why I’m thankful. Just I. I got. Got to escape a lot of things that other people. Yeah. And I. Well, I had him as a kid, but I got to escape them. Yeah. But it’s just disgruntled. Even. Even people that. It’s not so bad.

0:03:08 – (Zion Vierra): Right.

0:03:08 – (Pastor Steve Gray): They got. You know, I. I was just amazed the other day. I don’t know anybody that doesn’t have a phone, trying to think of somebody. I mean, I suppose if I got down to kids, little kids, but even.

0:03:21 – (Zion Vierra): Then everyone has an ipod.

0:03:22 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yes. Yeah, I know. And, you know, my other. My older grandkids do now the younger ones are getting. And I started going like, I can’t think of anybody that doesn’t have a phone. And I think that’s pretty much around the world. Because when, you know, I’ve traveled in other countries and you walk through the airports and everybody. Even other, you know, in Paris or wherever, everybody’s got a phone. In Paris or in Poland, in Warsaw, Poland, everybody’s got a phone.

0:03:48 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And so you have the whole world at your fingertips. Yeah. And if you look back years, did you know the first time they had a phone like that was like 1963?

0:03:58 – (Zion Vierra): No.

0:03:58 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yeah, it was. Yeah. I mean, they didn’t produce it, but they could use it. They were using it, figuring out how to do it. I think it was 62, 63. I saw a picture of it and it looked just about like that. Oh, wow. And. And now, though, How amazing. Oh, yeah. And when I was a kid too, I didn’t get in big involved with Dick Tracy, but Dick Tracy was a character, and he was a cartoon character too, and he’s a detective.

0:04:23 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And he had a phone, a wristwatch that was a phone.

0:04:27 – (Zion Vierra): Like an Apple watch.

0:04:28 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yeah, like an Apple watch. Yeah. And we all knew as imaginary and thought, wouldn’t that be great? Yeah. As at that time when we had some pretty big phones and they got smaller and smaller on the wall, then transitioned, but anyway, bigger in your pocket. Yeah. Yeah. And so, you know, there’s. So. And you have the world, your fingertips. Almost everybody’s got a tv and on that tv, if you buy it now, it’s a smart tv.

0:04:53 – (Pastor Steve Gray): So even if you don’t subscribe to something, you get so much entertainment and yet it’s not enough. You know, I guess that’s it. It’s just whatever. It’s not enough. And you know, with that disgruntledness is almost everywhere, that’s hard to be a husband, it’s hard to be a wife, it’s hard to be a kid, it’s hard to be a pastor because whatever you do, it’s never enough. As a pastor I feel that way and not necessarily in our church because there’s some very thankful people in our church. Yeah. But just pastors overall can’t make people happy. You know, you can’t never do enough, never satisfied.

0:05:28 – (Pastor Steve Gray): I think that’s going on in our country. So Thanksgiving is a great time to turn that around. As we sit around the table and of course we’re one relative has to says why don’t we all go around the table and say why we’re thankful. Oh man. And people can’t think of anything.

0:05:43 – (Zion Vierra): I think it’s going to be Kathy.

0:05:44 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yeah, yeah, I think so too. Yes. Because her mother did it. Yeah. And, and then people can’t think of anything, you know, like I’m thankful for turkey and, and it’s so expensive but I’m so, so thankful we got white bird. Yeah, I read, I read today there’s going to be sticker shock buying turkeys so. Oh gosh, it’s really expensive, man. Yeah, a 15 pound turkey is almost 50 bucks. Wow. Yeah.

0:06:10 – (Zion Vierra): Let’s go buy a couple of tomahawks.

0:06:12 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yeah, especially, especially if you get a brand name. Sure. If you go down to a no name brand like a turkey that had no name. It was orphan. An orphan. Yeah. An orphan turkey. Yeah, yeah. I went to the, I said I was telling gather. Driving along we went, stopped in the store to get some stuff after she went someplace and I said I’ll go in with you. And I noticed they had turkey jerky, turkey bologna, turkey hot dogs. I had told her, I said I need to stop a turkey and say, come on, get over it.

0:06:42 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Believe in yourself.

0:06:43 – (Zion Vierra): You know something greater than this. Yes.

0:06:46 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Be who you are. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Be who you are. You are a turkey, you’re not a hot dog. Yeah. So anyway, that’s funny. Well, a week or so ago we did at our private school Lee’s Summit Academy an outstanding performance of Anastasia. Now I was already into the history part of that but when I saw the fantastic job. And then put the years together and the characters together. It reignited some things in me about the era, that era, and what’s happening now in America and what should be told to America. And that’s what we’re going to do the rest of the time visiting here. But anyway, the Bolshevik Revolution was 1917.

0:07:29 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Anastasia bumps up to 1920. So the story of Anastasia 100 years ago. Yeah. And so in 1917, it was just a handful, a small group of revolutionaries, and they began to promise, well, let’s back up. There was the czar, Nikolai and all that. And the regular folks, they were struggling. They were. It was hard to get food, it was work, and it was just bad while the czar was living in a palace.

0:08:03 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Okay. So that’s. That was the trigger point. So some revolutionaries came along and says, let’s change all that and let’s revolt. And so they went into the palace and they shot the tsar and his family. And. And they said, let’s revolt. And what we’re going to do is we’re going to make this equal now. We’re not going to have poor people and rich people, class system. We’re going to make it equal for everybody. It’s going to be fair.

0:08:27 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And I. We talked about that word before. That’s not a biblical word, by the way, but it’s going to be fair. It’s going to be equal across the board. So let’s have this revolution. So that’s what they promised. Well, the people thought, that’s good. You know, I want something. I don’t have it. They have it. I don’t have it. I can have it. So the Bolshevik Revolution started. And I was just. We were just figuring up the math.

0:08:50 – (Pastor Steve Gray): The, the. It’s. Eventually the Soviet Union started and all that communism, but the, the part of the revolution part only lasted. The Soviet Soviet Union only lasted, what we say, 69 years, 70 years. Yeah. And then it collapsed in 1991. That’s not a very long time.

0:09:08 – (Zion Vierra): Not a long reign.

0:09:09 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yeah. And what happened was then the Bolshevik Revolution started, and they promised all this to the people, and the people went for it. But then a leader came in and kept promising it Lenin. And they changed the name as part of the musical from St. Petersburg to Leningrad, named it after Lenin. He took over, and now all of a sudden they’re promising equality. But he’s in control of the equality. He’s definitely in control.

0:09:37 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And after him, after he died, then Stalin took over. Oh, my. Stalin is quite A character. And he really controlled with death if you didn’t follow. And a lot of people don’t know that about him. But anyway, so, so the idea started, we’re going to make it equal for everybody. But it failed miserably. And of course, communism is still going and there’s some great. It’s not the Soviet Union anymore because it’s split, but Russia, obviously we still have Russia at war, but the, the communist people that are there under communism, they’re wonderful people. You know, it’s, it’s not the people’s fault.

0:10:18 – (Pastor Steve Gray): It’s that they can’t do anything about it. Yeah. And it turned out that it was not equality. It didn’t work.

0:10:25 – (Zion Vierra): They wasn’t fair.

0:10:26 – (Pastor Steve Gray): It wasn’t fair. They, you know, they go to a store and there’s nothing on the shelves or there’s no bread on the shelves. There’s plenty of bread in the palace. Again, it just repeated itself. Because if people are going to be in charge and they, and they say they’re going to make it fair, somebody’s going to make it unfair, they’re going to take advantage of you, letting your guard down, say, okay, here’s my stuff, you give yours, I’ll give mine. We’ll all pitch in and, and in the humanity as humans, somebody’s going to take over and take advantage.

0:10:59 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Now, it’s supposed to be different in the Kingdom of God. We’re supposed to be able to help each other and get help people in time of need, especially the people in the Kingdom of God, especially those who are believers. The Bible says. And it should work. But even then it could be tricky. We got people that take advantage of people, obviously in Kingdom of God and churches do it anyway. But. So that was the, that was. The hook is.

0:11:24 – (Pastor Steve Gray): I know you’re. They were disgruntled. I know you’re hurting. I know you feel like things are too expensive or you can’t find stuff. So we’re going to make it fair. We’re going to make it equal across the board. And it failed miserably. Right. Now, of course, there’s a reason I’m bringing that up more than just seeing Anastasia, which. You saw it too. It was great.

0:11:44 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yeah, and he did the lights too. The lighting system a little biased.

0:11:47 – (Zion Vierra): Yeah, the lights were great.

0:11:49 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Fantastic. Lighting was great. I mean, if, if you’re singing a solo and the light doesn’t come on, you’re finished. Yeah.

0:11:57 – (Zion Vierra): You’re wandering around the dark stage, buddy.

0:11:59 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Nobody can see you. So anyway, I said I. It triggered it on me. But I’ve already been thinking about it, because here’s what I. I see a similar thing happening, particularly in the Democrat Party, is. And here again, this is not politics. This is not being critical. This is just being honest of what I see. Yeah. Maybe it’s just my opinion, but to me, what’s happening in the Democratic Party reflects the Bolshevik revolution of people coming and saying, hey, I know you’re disgruntled. I know you’re angry. I know you feel like you can’t afford a house. You got to live, you know, less, and food is hot, you know, and all the. All the things people say.

0:12:43 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And now they’re being promised, as, you know, New York City. Yes. And they’re being promised exactly the same thing. And it is socialism and it is communism, and we just need to realize it’s not going to work. Right. My favorite one is. I don’t know if it’ll happen. My favorite one is he’s going. He promised. He says he’s going to remove all the police officers from 911. Yeah. So if you call 911, you get a social worker. Right.

0:13:10 – (Zion Vierra): And there’s some stupid name he came up with.

0:13:13 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Oh, I don’t remember.

0:13:14 – (Zion Vierra): Gosh, I’ll look it up real quick. But, yeah, keep going.

0:13:17 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yeah, you’re being a little political. You said stupid. But we’re just. We’re just trying to help you. You can believe in any party but you. And it’s not the whole party right now, but it is. It is moving quickly. And I think if it works, or since he did get elected mayor, how many other people, especially the younger ones, are going to pick up and do the same thing in their city because they want to get elected and they’ll promise the same thing.

0:13:45 – (Pastor Steve Gray): The first of all I want to say is I don’t care. I don’t have anything against the guy, really, but it’s not going to work. Of course, he grew up in a very, very wealthy home, and so he’s a little tainted because it’s interesting that he’s got all this wealth and yet he’s promising everybody’s going to share. Yeah. I don’t know if he is.

0:14:07 – (Zion Vierra): And it’s kind of funny that he’s trying to relate to the people like that.

0:14:09 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yeah. Like, we’re struggling. Yeah.

0:14:12 – (Zion Vierra): Like, no, you’ve grown up very different.

0:14:14 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Very rich.

0:14:14 – (Zion Vierra): 90% of New York City.

0:14:15 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yeah. And, yeah. So there’s sort of a Bolshevik revolution going on of a handful of people promising. We’re Going to make things equal across the board. And people who are hurting, disgruntled, or just want to have other people’s stuff, we can all share. I don’t have anything to give, but I’ll share your stuff with me. That. And so it’s. The problem is it’s not going to work. And so I think the Democratic Party is really looking this over.

0:14:44 – (Pastor Steve Gray): I think they. They wouldn’t call it a Bolshevik Revolution, I don’t think. But that’s just my thing. But it is now something that’s going. It’s Democrat socialism, maybe communism. We have to be careful as Christians that we don’t make Christian socialism. Yeah. We’re trying to imagine people, how many people are trying to make God fair, Right. They’re going to him and that, like, hey, this isn’t fair.

0:15:09 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And then. But they’re not really living for him. They’re not really praying. And most of all, it’s not fair. It’s faith. It’s not fair. It’s faith. Yeah. Yeah. Without faith, you cannot please God. And so without faith, we’re trying to make God fair and setting up. And then some of our sermons are presenting like everybody’s equal. You’re all good people. I know you’re struggling, but God loves you all the same.

0:15:34 – (Pastor Steve Gray): It’s all the same now. Just, he’ll just. Let’s just help get by here like that. And. And then maybe some promises. It’ll. It’ll get. Just hang in there and it’ll get better. And sometimes it doesn’t. Hanging in there doesn’t get it. Sometimes you need to make changes, you know. But anyway, so I think that’s happening now. I better change where I get where I wanted to go. Biblically. Okay. So I noticed something sort of similar and a line that I think people across the country who maybe are believing it might work or that it’s going to work for them should take note of this. So one of my favorite stories in the Bible and a great book is the book of Esther.

0:16:16 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Esther, guess where she was rich, now she’s a Jewish lady. And somehow, through God, really, because God put her in a position, but somehow she gets in the court of the king. And so. And she has a lot of favor. She must have been real pretty, beautiful, you know, and all that stuff. And so she has a lot of favor with the king, but she still has to go by the rules. So her uncle comes and tells her, look, there’s a movement going on that’s anti.

0:16:45 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Anti Jew. Yeah, anti-Semitism and Semitism is going on and they want to destroy Jews. Yeah, okay. And so, you know, she’s thinking about it and. But, you know, she’s in the palace, right? She’s living high. It’s like somebody with rich parents. And so she’s. And, and I think that it started blinding her, like, okay, out there, it’s too bad. And then Mordecai, her uncle, comes and says, listen, you’re Jewish.

0:17:18 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Maybe they didn’t. Maybe didn’t care. Yeah, but I don’t even know if the king knew. I don’t think he cared. Right, but that’s just me speculating. But he says to her, says, listen, do you think being Jewish, do you think you’re going to escape just because you’re here in the palace? Do you think you’re going to get by? Do you think it’s not going to affect you? So that’s when he says, maybe this is the hour that you were created for and God puts you in the palace. That’s my paraphrasing for such an hour as this, to go save your people, because you’ve got access to the king.

0:17:52 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And she said, well, sorta. If he doesn’t invite you in, you can get killed. If you just walk in and start saying stuff, you could get killed. So if I walk in there and he raises up his scepter, I live. If he doesn’t, I die. And so she’s got to say, okay, well, if I die, I die, but I’m going to go do it. And so she goes in and pleads the case for the Jewish people. It all gets turned around. It’s a great story. You can read the book of Esther and see how it turns around.

0:18:22 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And the guys, the guys that were going to get rid of the Jews, they end up getting killed and they get hung and the Jews live on, which is going to happen. The Jews are going to live on even if people are trying to destroy them. It’s happened many times and they live on. It’s just difficult, Very, very difficult for them. And, and just. It could be terrible times, but they’re going to live on. So the point I wanted to make is, so here we have people with money or a good job.

0:18:52 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Let’s just, let’s not put it up in the billionaire millionaire category. But that does. Think about it. You are a  millionaires several times over. So think about it. You’re a Hollywood star, you’re a recording artist with millions and some billions now, and you have all that money. And now you’re promoting the Bolshevik Revolution, or in other words, equality. And we need fairness.

0:19:18 – (Pastor Steve Gray): We need this. We. We need socialism. You’re promoting. And there’s some are. Do you think it’s not going to get your wealth? It got everybody’s. They took everybody’s. Yeah, and I think I might have mentioned this before, too. One of the reasons people did not leave in World War II, or as Jewish people before the Holocaust, they didn’t leave, well, Germany or Poland or other nations where anti-Semitism was really getting rough even after they, they had the Kristallnacht, I think it’s translated night of the broken glass, because the Nazis and the anti-Jewish people came and threw stones and broke in the stores.

0:19:59 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And so it was the glass breaking night. So. Interesting. Yeah, Kristallnacht. That’s German for that. The night of glass crystal. And once that happened, the. But many of the Jews didn’t leave because they were prominent. They had stores, but that was kind of obvious. They had money, they had diamonds. You know, when they did get deported, a lot of them hid diamonds on them and swallowed them and. Yeah. So inside it didn’t work because when they got there, they took everything away anyway.

0:20:34 – (Pastor Steve Gray): So a lot of the reason is the prominent people, and I don’t know about the poor people, but the prominent people thought, well, it won’t affect us because I’m a prominent person, I’m educated, we’ve got money, we’ll pay our way out or something because we always have. And, and so the, the rule is, is Esther’s rule is, do you think because you have a good job and your house is paid off or you’re doing well, you could, you, you can meet your bills, turkeys are high, but you’re going to be able to buy one.

0:21:03 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Do you think if you go for socialism that it’s going to escape you, it’s coming after you. So, all right, are you willing to take what you have and distribute it? Because somebody’s going to get in power. It’s not going to be. We’re all equal to. We’re going to get together and all vote whether we should divide up our groceries or not, you know, or we’re all going to. We’re going to pay everybody’s rent on the block equal. We’re all going to put up pitch. That’s not going to happen.

0:21:30 – (Pastor Steve Gray): They’ll take it. They end up. They ended up taking it away and they ended up enslaved in Russia or Soviet Union or the socialism and communism. Well, even today, enslaving the people, the communist nations. The people don’t have our freedom and we forget that. And this is how it begins. It begins on this level. Equality, freedom. Everybody’s going to be equal, nobody’s. And get rid of the class system and all that stuff. But it doesn’t work because somebody’s going to get in there, take over and start telling you what you can do and what you can’t do.

0:22:03 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And especially if it goes far enough where they get your money. Now you, you gave it in good faith. Yeah, I want, I, I think we should all be equal. And so you, you were generous in great faith and you. And gave it to the government or whatever and now you lost your power. Now you don’t have your money. So movie stars, billionaires, millionaires, you should be the first to realize this message. Do you think you’re going to escape and they’re going to let you still be a millionaire? Right.

0:22:30 – (Pastor Steve Gray): It didn’t happen that way. Take history and learn from it. And we, as, as Christians, we need to now, final line. That’s why we need a revival of the Spirit of God. Right? If the Spirit’s leading us, you’re safer. Corruption everywhere, but you’re safer. Because really there are on. There are some honest people, there are some honest Christians, there are some people that want to help you and want you to do well.

0:22:59 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And I, and people like me can teach you how to do well. One of the things new people come to our church is a lot of them come in debt, especially credit card debt. And we teach them how to get out of that. And they do get out of it, you know. Well, most of them do. And you’ll, you’ll do better. Life will get better. Because we’re going to take spiritual principles that work and you’re going to work with people that want to really help you.

0:23:22 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Not trying to get you to share your wealth with us, but we’re going to teach you how to use your wealth for the kingdom of God and his glory. So we need a revival of the Spirit. We see some of it, especially on campuses right now, kicking up and as I’ve said on here before, but we need the church to kick up and start saying, we’ve got to start loving God. We need to start giving ourselves to the Lord, our first love. We need to seek first the kingdom of God and things will come to us and put God’s order into the people.

0:23:52 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Because all week long they’re hearing all this other stuff on the news, on your phone, wherever, even talk or whatever. News Talk is talking about socialism. Some are saying it’s no good, but some are saying it’s really good. Let’s go for it. And it’s. It’s sold a whole. The biggest city in the world went for it. So that’s a. That’s something that could happen. So the answer is not to. As we’re trying not to do, not to speak against New York, not to speak against the new mayor, because they’re doing what they believe in.

0:24:27 – (Pastor Steve Gray): We need to do what we believe in. We need a balance of believers that say, wait a minute. There is another way that blesses, transforms you, blesses you. God will bless you. And if you seek the kingdom of God, first things will come. Yeah, things. And it’s not. It’s not. Doesn’t mean spiritual things. It meant real clothes and food. Yeah. Turkey will come. Big ones. It’ll be there. A big one. Yeah.

0:24:52 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And so we need our voice. Yeah. I’m not speaking against anybody. I’m speaking for us. We need the voice. And you all can answer this. You know, is there. Do you feel. Is there a major voice of revival or spiritual things or doing things God’s way in the country? No. Was there one? Some believe Charlie Kirk was one, but he’s more famous now that he’s not here than he was before. So I don’t know if they would say he was a major.

0:25:23 – (Pastor Steve Gray): He was a voice. But I don’t know if he. The nation knew about him. They know about him now after he’s passed. But anyway, of a church, a pastor, a leader, most of them are still preaching. I know you’re hurting and that. And I’m going to soothe you and make you feel better about what your circumstances and about yourself. And we need a spiritual renaissance, a revival of the things of the Spirit to give an alternative to people who are hurting and are disgruntled.

0:25:48 – (Pastor Steve Gray): But they have been through and many times in history. But the answer was the spirit of the Lord comes and makes things right. And most people living today have never seen a massive move of the Spirit of God. It’s happened in history, but most people on the earth have never seen it. So they don’t know. That’s an alternative.

0:26:05 – (Zion Vierra): I thought it’s a reality.

0:26:06 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yes, it’s a reality. I like that. And that it’s an alternative because most people that are in trouble, disgruntled, that are not thinking, oh, maybe I should go to church, or maybe people do that, but not without hearing about it. Right. A voice. We need voices. We need your Voice. And we need you to speak up. And when you hear about this socialism stuff, rather than, you know, batter, you know, bashing heads or bashing them with your mouth, which is what happens everywhere, bring us a fresh message of the kingdom of God in the Bible.

0:26:38 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Show a fresh alternative that brings the freshness of the kingdom of God. We need that desperately.

0:26:43 – (Zion Vierra): And it wants to bless you at no one else’s expense.

0:26:46 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Right, Good point. Yeah, yeah.

0:26:48 – (Zion Vierra): Bible says God owns the cattle on a thousand hills.

0:26:50 – (Pastor Steve Gray): Yes. Right.

0:26:51 – (Zion Vierra): That’s not taking from anyone else.

0:26:53 – (Pastor Steve Gray): No. And I have a teaching I should maybe do. Where in the earth’s resources or goods. The earth has limited goods. That’s why people are afraid to cut down too many trees. Yeah, Right. Because we might not have enough trees. I don’t think that’s going to happen.

0:27:07 – (Pastor Steve Gray): But.

0:27:07 – (Pastor Steve Gray): But it’s limited. There’s limits. Limited. Good. And people preach limits. And so you feel like, well, if you have it, that means maybe I can’t have it. Yeah, but in the kingdom of God, there’s no limits. It’s not limited. Good.

0:27:21 – (Zion Vierra): That’s really good.

0:27:22 – (Pastor Steve Gray): And so that’s why you want to get in it. And it’s real. It’s real. It’s a reality. It’s just. It takes faith. It takes some people with experience to help you believe. And it takes a voice because people. How can people believe if they don’t have a voice, if they don’t hear it and they preach it? So anyway, that’s my historical speech and I believe it’s worth telling other people. And it’s. I think the Bolshevik Revolution is an excellent example to say this is what happened there. We got to be careful. We don’t let it happen here. Right. So I hope that was helpful today.
