main stage live. Okay, let's get started. First off, what is a lukewarm lifestyle? But what most people think lukewarm is half in the world, half in God. Doesn't really make sense, though. What is a lukewarm lifestyle? I've spoken about this, right? I'm lukewarm. What does it mean? You guys, what do you guys think it means? The ones like Lily and Deb, what do you guys think it is? Let me read here. Some people don't understand the concept of distrusting their thoughts is it because they've been trusting themselves for too long yeah it's not that they don't understand it's that they don't believe so yes yes it's because they're not used to it no one has ever said that before no one has ever explained don't trust your thoughts like what what do you mean i have good thoughts don't trust those thoughts either

0:54.5

they're not understanding sinning and living in the world and reading the bible uh okay so let's go deeper than

1:00.2

that what's sin then and what is living in the world i'm going to unpack these things for you

1:04.2

what is what is sin according to the bible what is living in the world according to the bible understand

1:09.5

and if you read the bible does that make you a christ? Sin is an identity? Okay. You guys learning from me a little bit. So how do you stop sinning then? How do you stop living in the world? Are we not living in the world already? Do you guys understand? Having faith? True. Amen. Right? So lukewarm is not the way that we have been taught. We need to rewire our brain.

1:30.0

Lukewarm is not, oh, I'm sinning and smoking weed and I'm also reading the Bible. That's not

1:35.4

technically lukewarm. That could be a symptom of lukewarm, but true sin, true lukewarm is serving

1:42.7

to masters. Yes. But what does that even mean? What is serving to masters?

1:47.2

Just think about that. Lukewarm is saying something like this. I'm a sinner, but I'm also saved.

1:52.9

I'm a righteous person who sins. I'm a sinner saved by grace. That is actually lukewarm, guys. Understand? You guys get me?

1:59.9

Sinners saved by grace means lukewarm because if you say

2:03.4

sinners saved by grace it means you are not saved but you're also not a sinner you're in the middle

2:09.8

what is warm guys is it hot is it cold it's both it's not hot it's not cold it's lukewarm it's in the

2:16.4

middle right if you're a caterpillar can you be be a butterfly? Yeah, I can't be a butterpillar.

2:21.6

If you're a butterfly, can you go back to living like a caterpillar? Let's think about that.

2:25.8

Even a water bug, you guys know what a water bug is? Waterbug blossoms and shifts, metamorphoses, right?

2:33.0

Into a beautiful dragonfly. Understand guys? It turns into a dragonfly, right? Can the dragonfly go, you know what? Today I'm going to live like a water bug and go back into the water. It's going to die. It'll drown. Do you guys understand? Can never go back to its lifestyle, right? Then what does it mean when we say, we're righteous, we're holy? Oh, but I sinned again today. That doesn't make sense. That's like saying, ah, I was a dragonfly, yeah, but today I'm going to go for a swim. You'll drown, understand? Lukewarm is serving two masters. Why? Because one master, Satan, is telling you in your thoughts that you're a sinner and you sinned again and

3:08.8

that's why you're a sinner that's number one that's one master and then the other master who's the
