Bennett challenges us to consider if the early church's movement, truly led by the spirit, serves as a blueprint for us today. This discussion prompts an uncomfortable question: are we following the fire of the holy spirit, or simply protecting the prison of old ways within the church? It's a call to reflect on our understanding of christianity and its true history, as depicted in the bible and particularly in acts 11.

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.720
The early Church didn't move randomly. It moved where the

2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:08.039
spirit pointed, And that raises the uncomfortable question we can't

3
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:12.080
avoid is that if Axe was a blueprint, are we

4
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.800
following the fire or are we protecting the prison?

5
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:39.600
Podcasts in the minds of the people.

6
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.880
You ever read the Book of Acts and feel like

7
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.920
you accidentally walked into the wrong genre, Like you thought

8
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.000
you were getting a clean, inspiring origin story and instead

9
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:56.119
you got axe, tongues of fire and angel breakouts. Men

10
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.560
speaking languages they never learned. It sound like a violent

11
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.599
wind with no weather report, Flames resting on heads like

12
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:11.400
Heaven's calling card, prison doors opening without keys, chains falling

13
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:16.200
off like they were made of paper, And visions that

14
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:20.400
don't just come for people, they redirect entire lies. The

15
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:25.120
early Church didn't spread because it was socially acceptable. It

16
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:28.680
spread because it was untouchable. And right now in the

17
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:35.319
world that feels controlled, curated, and spiritually numb, that hits different.

18
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.280
So tonight we're going in Welcome back to broadcasting Seeds.

19
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:43.280
I'm your host, Benettantin, and I want to start with

20
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:48.560
a question that's simple, but it'll mess with you if

21
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.760
you just if you sit with it for more than

22
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.959
five seconds. What if the early Church didn't move forward

23
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.079
because they had the right messaging, but because the Spirit

24
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.000
of God was doing things that couldn't be explained away.

25
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.000
Because if acts is true, then the supernatural wasn't the

26
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.400
side effect, it was the actual engine. And here's where

27
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.599
this gets uncomfortable for so many people. Fast this week,

28
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:23.520
people are arguing about politics, institutions, power, influence, and narratives.

29
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:29.120
Same old game, right, But in acts, the disciples aren't

30
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:33.000
trying to win seats at the table. They're not lobbying

31
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:39.840
for Rome or lobbying Rome. They're not courting approval. They're

32
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.879
not even looking trying to look credible. They're trying to

33
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:50.719
stay obedient while reality keeps getting interrupted. The early Church

34
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.719
didn't grow because it was popular. It grew because it

35
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.520
was undeniable. Tongues of fire, angel jail breaks, and visions

36
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.520
that hide jack their plans. That's not branding. That's power.

37
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:08.120
And listen. I'm not saying every weird thing online is God,

38
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.960
or that every spiritual story you hear is automatically true.

39
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.800
Some people are selling snake oil with a cross on

40
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.199
the label. I get it, okay, But if you've ever

41
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.280
felt like there's more going on than what you can see.

42
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.159
If you've ever had that gut level sense that the

43
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.800
world isn't just physical, it's going to feel more like

44
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.400
a warning label. Also quick favor, because this is how

45
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.360
the show grows. If you like broadcasting seeds hit like,

46
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.240
share the episode and give us a review. Okay, And hey,

47
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:50.360
send this to a friend who's been saying something's shifting lately,

48
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.080
but I can't explain it. One more thing. If you're

49
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.599
a researcher, investigative creator, or you've got firsthand experiences that

50
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:02.080
connect to these biblical supernet threads or any other topic

51
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.599
that I cover, reach out not in a weird way,

52
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.840
and let's compare notes kind of way, okay, because once

53
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.360
you see what's happening in Acts, you can't unsee it.

54
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.360
And the real question becomes this, If the Book of

55
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.759
Acts is the blueprint, why does modern face so often

56
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:29.560
feel like it's missing the fire section one when the

57
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:35.279
sky touched the street. And imagine standing in Jerusalem it's Pentecost.

58
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:40.639
You've got pack streets, pilgrims everywhere, some noise must tension,

59
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.160
who knows what else? The place smells like. You've got

60
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.560
tension in the air. Fifty days after the crucifixion, Okay,

61
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.680
fifty days, people are still whispering about the empty tomb.

62
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.720
And then it happens, not a metaphor, not a feeling,

63
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.120
a sound like a violent ushing wind. But there's no storm,

64
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.079
there's no clouds, there's no weather, just a roar from

65
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:12.800
nowhere that fills the room. That's where X begins, not

66
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:18.199
with strategy, not with a committee meeting, with interruption. The

67
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.439
text says something that people skim pass too quickly. It

68
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:27.759
says tongues of fire rested on each of them. Fire

69
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.279
not on the building, not above the city, on people.

70
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:37.519
And suddenly they're speaking in languages they never studied that.

71
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:48.079
They don't speak real languages, dialects from across the Roman world, Parthians, Medes, Egyptians, Arabs.

72
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.720
The crowd is stunned because they're hearing their hometown dialect

73
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.839
coming out of a Galatian fisherman. And here's what's wild.

74
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.399
They aren't speaking to impress anybody. They're declaring the works

75
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.519
of God right there in the street. Now, pausitive me

76
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.240
for one second. Right now, in our time, people are

77
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:16.680
obsessed with influence and platforms and algorithms, messaging strategies, viral moments,

78
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:22.240
but an acts. There's no pr team, there's obedience and ignition.

79
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.240
And this week people are starting to notice how fragile

80
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:33.519
our systems are. Economy shake, institutions, wobble. Trust is evaporating

81
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.759
and questioned. The question everybody's quietly asking is what actually

82
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:45.040
has power? Ax answers that in a most uncomfortable way. Possible,

83
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.839
not politics, not persuasion, with presence. Tongues of fire didn't

84
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.680
fall on a cathedral, They fell on ordinary people. The

85
00:06:54.759 --> 00:07:00.399
supernatural didn't crown an institution, It ignited individuals. Let me

86
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.560
say something, if that happened today, would we recognize it

87
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:10.959
or would we call it mass hysteria, emotional manipulation or psyops? Yeah,

88
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.720
that's the best one. It's a psyop because here's the

89
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.600
thing that hits me every time I read this. The

90
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:24.800
crowd has options, right, Some were amazed, some were absolutely confused,

91
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:31.639
some mocked and said they're drunk, same miracle, different interpretations.

92
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.600
Does that sound familiar to you right now? We're living

93
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.959
in an era where every event gets filtered through a

94
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:44.000
narrative machine. Everything becomes spin, everything becomes suspect. So when

95
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:48.120
we read Acts, it forces us to confront something deeper.

96
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:54.600
What if Heaven doesn't care about our narratives? What if

97
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.040
it moves anywhere? Here's the part that should make you

98
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.319
sits sit up straight. This wasn't the climax. It was

99
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.680
the beginning, because fire was just the spark. Prison doors

100
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.399
are about to open without keys. Angels are about to

101
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.720
step into locked cells, and visions are about to reroute

102
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:20.600
entire missions across continents and the early Church. They're about

103
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:25.399
to learn something most of us have forgotten. When Heaven moves,

104
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.519
chains can't hold. They don't hold. Let's talk about the

105
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:39.320
jailbreak Section two, when chains meant nothing. Picture this. You're

106
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.840
locked in a first century prison, stone walls, iron bars,

107
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:49.039
Roman guards who probably just don't play games. You've already

108
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.679
been warned to stop speaking in the name of Jesus,

109
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.960
and he didn't stop. And now you're inside again. That's

110
00:08:55.080 --> 00:09:00.159
where the second wave of Acts Tongues of Fire hits,

111
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.879
not in a prayer circle, not in a worship surface,

112
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.960
in a worship service, in a jail cell. Acts five.

113
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:14.360
The apostles were arrested for preaching publicly, boldly, not subtly.

114
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:21.120
The religious authorities were irritated, to say the least. The

115
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:25.200
political structures threatened. And this movement isn't dying down. It's

116
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.960
it's frankly, it's multiplying. And so they do what power

117
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.759
structures always do when they feel cornered. They try to

118
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.240
contain it, lock it up, silence it, make it disappear.

119
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.480
But during the night, an angel of the Lord opens

120
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.200
the prison doors and brings them out. No dramatic explosion,

121
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:47.919
no riot, just doors opening. Chains are irrelevant. And then

122
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.000
the angel says something that almost feels reckless. Go stand

123
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.960
in the temple courts and tell the people all about

124
00:09:54.960 --> 00:10:00.039
this new life. Not hide, not relocate, not to to

125
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.399
tone it down. Go right back to the public square.

126
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.519
And here's what should unsettle you. The next morning, the

127
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:10.039
officials gathered to bring the prisoners out for trial, and

128
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.759
the doors are still locked. The guards are still standing

129
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:16.080
at their posts, but the cells they're empty. But that's it.

130
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.399
For a second, the system thought it had control. The

131
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.519
doors were locked, the guards were posted, the structure was intact,

132
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.679
but Heaven had already walked through it. Right now, people

133
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:35.200
feel trapped in systems, financial systems, political systems, medical systems,

134
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.679
digital systems, all the damned systems. You feel it, the

135
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:44.440
sense that everything is monitored and regulated and categorized. Right.

136
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.799
And here's why Acts Tongues of Fire feels relevant in

137
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.039
this moment because it tells the story where the most

138
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.639
secure system in the world at this time, that's Rome,

139
00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:00.440
couldn't hold what God was advancing. And the apostles they

140
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.360
didn't act like victims. They didn't act like rebels either.

141
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.159
They acted like witnesses. There's a difference, folks. They weren't

142
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:14.559
trying to overthrow Rome. They were trying to declare something higher.

143
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:18.440
And when questioned, their response is simple, we must obey

144
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.759
God rather than men. That's not bravado. That's what we

145
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.320
call alignment. But here's where it gets even more intense.

146
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:31.679
This wasn't a one time jam break Acts. In Acts twelve,

147
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:39.000
Peter arrested, guarded by four squads of soldiers. Chains on

148
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.360
bolt risks guards at the door in the middle of

149
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:45.360
the night. Light fills the cell, and an angel strikes

150
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.200
feet are on the side to wake him quick get up.

151
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.240
Chains fall off what the gates open on their own,

152
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.159
and Peter walks out, thinking it's a vision until he's

153
00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:01.200
standing in the street free so the tension building and

154
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.799
just broke them out. Period. What but what happens when

155
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:08.840
the prison isn't physical? What happens when the chains are

156
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:12.919
mental or spiritual or cultural? Because Acts doesn't just show

157
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.200
external miracles, it shows something even harder to explain. Visions

158
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:26.240
that reroute destiny. We'll talk about that next section three.

159
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.679
When visions reroute history? And what if most dangerous? What

160
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:37.279
if the most dangerous prison isn't made of stone but certainty?

161
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:42.320
What if the real jail break and Acts wasn't iron

162
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:46.919
chains falling off risks, but mindsets breaking open? Because right

163
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:51.200
when the early Christians, right when the early Church starts

164
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:56.360
gaining momentum, something happens that doesn't look explosive at all. Right,

165
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.000
it looks quiet. It's a vision, and it changes everything.

166
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:05.240
Acts ten. Peter is preying on a rooftop, hungry, waiting

167
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.720
for lunch, and he falls into a trance. He sees

168
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:13.679
a sheet descending from heaven. Inside it so bizarre animals

169
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:20.200
considered unclean under Jewish law. A voice says, get up, Peter,

170
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:25.440
kill and eat. Peter resists three times. The voice replies,

171
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.559
do not call anything impure that God has made clean.

172
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:34.039
Now Pause This isn't about diet. This is about inclusion.

173
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:41.360
This is about the Gospel crossing ethnic, cultural, and concovenal lines.

174
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:45.440
And right now people are starting to notice something about culture.

175
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:53.960
Lines are everywhere, political lines, ideological, ideological lines, religious lines. Everybody.

176
00:13:53.960 --> 00:14:00.399
I'm carnivorum ketoum vegetarian. Everyone drawing circles and guard the

177
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:06.559
borders right of their of their lines. Axe flips that

178
00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:13.960
God interrupts peter theological framework and says, essentially, your map

179
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:19.600
is outdated. And as Peter is trying to process the vision,

180
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:25.639
messengers show up from Cornelius, who's a Roman centurion, a

181
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:29.799
gentile An outsider, an officer in the very system that

182
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:34.840
crucified our Lord Jesus, and the Spirit says, go with them,

183
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:40.360
do not hesitate. This is where acts becomes more unsettling

184
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:48.080
than inspirational, because it's one thing for fire to fall right,

185
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:53.320
it's another thing for your worldview to just shift. And

186
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.399
the Spirit didn't just break Peter out of prison. He

187
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.840
broke Peter out of prejudice. Okay, let me ask you something, honest,

188
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.440
what would it take for your framework to change? Because

189
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:08.840
if we're being real, most of us like supernatural stories

190
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.039
as long as they confirm what we already believe. Right,

191
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.639
but Acts doesn't just confirm it confronts and right now

192
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.679
this week, people are arguing over who's in and who's out,

193
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:25.120
who's clean, who's corrupt, who's chosen? These Epstein files are wild,

194
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:26.679
who's compromised?

195
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:27.240
Right?

196
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:32.480
And acts as something radical? The Spirit leads, not tribes,

197
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:36.879
not factions, not narratives, period, the spirit. And when Peter

198
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:42.799
walks with corne into Cornelius as Cornelius's house and sees

199
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:46.159
the Holy Spirit fall on Gentiles the same way it

200
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:51.080
fell in Acts too, it's a second Pentecost, not in Jerusalem,

201
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:55.679
in a Roman's living room. Okay, haven't ignores the border.

202
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.320
It's not It doesn't mean anything. And here's the thread

203
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:05.279
tying this altogether. Tongues of fire, angel, jail breaks, rooftop visions.

204
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:10.360
This isn't chaos, its direction. The early Church didn't move randomly.

205
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.279
It moved where the spirit pointed. And that raises the

206
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.279
uncomfortable question we can't avoid is that if Ax was

207
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.399
a blueprint, are we following the fire or are we

208
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:25.039
protecting the prison? We've got one layer left to feel back,

209
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:28.559
because the story doesn't end with miracles. It ends with

210
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:37.480
momentum that couldn't be stopped. The fire was never meant

211
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.080
to stay contained. Here's the part nobody talks about. The

212
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.039
Book of Acts doesn't actually end, okay, it just stops

213
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:50.080
mid movement, so weird Paul's under house arrest. The gospel

214
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:56.559
is spreading. Rome hasn't crushed it yet. The system hasn't

215
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.559
contained it though, and the fire has not gone. And

216
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.160
Luke closes the scroll without trying tying a knee bow

217
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:10.759
on it. Why Because Acts wasn't a movement, it was

218
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.240
a momentum. Tongues of fire weren't the climax. Angel jail

219
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:21.359
breaks weren't the headline. Visions weren't spiritual entertainment. They were

220
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.720
directional markers. They were proof that Heaven doesn't just intervene,

221
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.359
that Heaven advances. And right now, in a world that

222
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:35.920
feels curated, scripted, managed, monitored, that freaking matters because people

223
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:40.880
are starting to notice that institutions wobble normal people, not

224
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:47.160
people like some of us. Systems strain right, narratives just fracture,

225
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:53.000
And lately there's this undercurrent of instability and everything from economics,

226
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:59.200
politics and trust and the question people aren't saying out loud.

227
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:04.359
Is this what is actually real? Ax answers in the

228
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:09.200
most unsettling way possible. What's real is what heaven backs.

229
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.519
That's what's real. The tension with that the early Church

230
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:19.119
didn't chase miracles. They obeyed, firefell, angels, moved, visions, redirected.

231
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:23.359
But the through line wasn't spectacle. It was surrender. The

232
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:27.319
power and acts wasn't hype. It wasn't branding. It wasn't

233
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:34.000
emotional manipulation. It was obedience under pressure. So let me

234
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.599
bring this home. If you've felt lately like something is shifting,

235
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.920
of course, like there's more happening beneath the service of

236
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.279
surface of culture, like the visible world isn't telling the

237
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:50.039
whole story, I assure you that you're not crazy. Ax

238
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:54.079
suggests that the spiritual realm isn't distant at all, and

239
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.799
that it's active. But here's the part that hits hardest.

240
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:01.240
The early Church didn't try to control the fire. They

241
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:05.720
position themselves under it. That's different. And if ax tongues

242
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:10.480
of fire and angel breakouts tells us anything, it's that

243
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.960
the kingdom doesn't advance through force, It advances through yielding

244
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.359
people who won't bow to fear. And yes, that's slightly

245
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.680
unsettling because it's If that's true, then the next movement

246
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.759
isn't institutional, it's personal. So here's what I'll leave you with.

247
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:31.519
If X is the continuation of the Gospel story and

248
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:34.480
the fire never officially went out, then the question isn't

249
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:39.440
whether God still moves. The question is whether we're paying attention.

250
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:41.920
If this episode, hey, you do me a favor, like it,

251
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.119
Share it, leave a review. That's how broadcasting seeds grows

252
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.839
and dependent shows survive on engagement. Okay, and seriously send

253
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.079
this to a friend who says, I feel like something

254
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.759
spiritual is happening right now, but I don't know what

255
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:57.079
to do with it. This has been Sunday spiritual, said

256
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:01.920
rep on Broadcasting Seeds. And remember some astromission. It spreads.

257
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:03.960
I'll see him the next layer.

258
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:28.599
If they quite stay inside the line, don't say his name,

259
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:35.519
don't cross that line. Doors are locked. Have got on.

260
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:37.000
Both sides.

261
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.480
Stone stick of a dozen.

262
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:47.400
You can see the man, you can see the door,

263
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.039
but you can't hold back. Whose promised before?

264
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:01.079
We felt it calm like when before the.

265
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:06.279
Storm, something shaft tail, something not normal.

266
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:12.000
I'm the fire of fair and did ask for misso,

267
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:19.119
and the sais broke loose, sa reroad, the prison songs of.

268
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:20.319
Flame, of order.

269
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.680
Every matt in the world hasn't been the same since then.

270
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.960
I'm with the fire.

271
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.720
Of fan, with the fire.

272
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:35.319
Fell, with the fire.

273
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:48.240
From some vision sheet from the sky, border's breaking whole

274
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:49.359
lines dive.

275
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:54.640
You can guard the cage, you can guard from, but

276
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:58.000
you can't contain a kingle not your room.

277
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:09.960
Were felt arise, trying to need the scale, not rather

278
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:19.759
loose stumber something with it were little fire flash, the styles.

279
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:24.599
Where the light broke in on the fire, the fot.

280
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.680
Pans change its star.

281
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.680
Funding the night and the dark bound out.

282
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:31.599
The can when the fire where the fi.

283
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:42.200
Fan, where the f fell, where the fire.

284
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:50.240
You can lift the door, you can post the guard.

285
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:53.519
You can silence truth, but you won't get fun because

286
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:55.119
fire spreads and win.

287
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.480
Won't build in Heaven doesn't end.

288
00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:05.119
We're the fire fell, crown not broken with the spear,

289
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:11.599
and no feal was broken from Princeton. While to a

290
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:14.240
Roman street the sound of free.

291
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.839
Mata hod be with the fig a fan.

292
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.680
With the fire fill

293
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:32.279
With the fire
