Bring It On-Line: - April 5, 2017

DOES THAT MEAN THAT I AM NOT ONE OF HIS SHEEP? I FIND THIS CONFUSING. I THOUGHT JESUS WAS BORN LATER, AND I ALWAYS ASSUMED IT WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT IN SOME FORM THAT JOINED THEM IN THE FIRE. PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME. Read Transcript


We've got a few questions for Bring It On.

OK.

Let's Bring It On.

This is Karen, who says, "Jesus said,

'My sheep will know my voice,' but there are times when I

really don't know if I'm hearing the Holy Spirit,

or my own mind, or even sometimes if it's Satan talking

to me.

Does that mean I'm not one of his sheep?"

Of course not.

Do you-- you know, I was in Israel a few years ago,

and I was walking out in the field.

We were doing a TV shoot, as I recall,

and there were sheep all over the field.

Sheep.

So they looked at us, and then, you know, OK.

We were out there, but they said,

OK, these guys aren't going to eat us, so they left us alone.

And then, all of a sudden, there was this shepherd,

and he went--

[IMITATES WHISTLE]

I mean he just whistled.

Yeah.

And suddenly those sheep looked up,

and they started running.

I couldn't believe it, all over that field.

They came running at--

and leaping over rocks, and all together.

And they all assemble, and he walked across the road

with them all.

I said, my sheep hear my voice.

They were.

But, hey listen, "We see through a glass darkly,"

is what the Bible says.

You don't know if you're hearing from God all the time.

We're humans, and we live in a-- you know, see through a glass

darkly.

So, we are his sheep.

We hear his voice.

We're submissive to him, but at the same time,

you can't always, you know, it's not a clear channel

that all of us have a word from the Lord every minute.

I wish it were the case but we don't.

So how do you most protect yourself

from maybe hearing incorrectly?

Knowing the Bible, and the Bible says,

"By reason of use that they have their senses

exercised to discern good from evil."

There's no substitute for just walking and practicing

the presence of God, OK.

That's it.

All right.

Important.

Important.

This is a viewer who says, "In the Bible,

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were placed into the fire

and a fourth figure came and joined them.

Preachers often say that it was Jesus.

I find this confusing.

I thought Jesus was born later, and I always

assumed it was the Holy Spirit in some form that joined them

in the fire.

Please explain this to me."

Well, we don't know who the other person was.

I think Oral Roberts had a great sermon on the fourth man,

you know, but, Jesus, as such, was not born until later, yes.

But the second person of the Trinity

came into being at the creation of the universe.

So He has been around for ever, from everlasting unto

everlasting, there I have been.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,

so it was, you use the term theophany,

an appearance of God.

But, who knows.

But it was an appearance of God.

It was, it was the angel of God.

It could have been the second person of the Trinity,

but it was some theophany, OK.

OK, this is Amber, Pat, who says,

"My husband was saved and baptized in 2010,

but has fallen back into his old ways for a few years now.

I've been praying and sticking by him through this,

but this past Saturday, I caught him cheating.

He says he doesn't think he can stop this behavior,

that the devil has too much of a hold on him,

and he wants a divorce.

This is not the first time in our marriage

that he has cheated.

Do I just pray for him and my family,

and do all I can to still save my marriage,

even though he wants a divorce?

Or should I just comply with his request and let him go?

We have three children, 16, 11, and eight,

who are affected by this, and say they are OK either way.

Also, is it normal that I still want

to be with him after knowing all this?"

First of all, the answer is, you still love him.

You loved him to begin with.

You've shared a life together, and you've

brought forth three children together,

so that's a tremendous tie.

But he's cheating on you.

Do you want to live in a situation

where you have a husband committing adultery

all the time?

If that tears you up, and he wants a divorce,

well let him have it.

You know, it's not even safe physically nowadays.

Oh, thank you, Terry, for that modernism.

Just saying.

He may bring some disease home that you don't want to--

actually could kill you, so the advice would be,

let him have his divorce.

But this is not unusual. that you still love him

because, even though he cheats, I mean, that's all right,

you love him because you have three children,

you've lived a life together.
