Crown Ignorant Kings — Reclaiming Truth, Authority, and the Kingdom What if ignorance isn’t an insult—but a wake-up call? In this unapologetically bold podcast, we challenge the misunderstood meaning of “ignorance” and uncover how misinformation, withheld truth, and spiritual misdirection have robbed humanity of its divine inheritance. Here, truth isn’t just facts—it’s original, eternal knowledge that transcends the senses. We delve into the profound message that every human being was created as a king, not by gender, but by divine authority. Through powerful revelations, we explore why God came in human form: to restore what was lost, to reconnect us to the Kingdom, and to reclaim the crowns forfeited through disobedience. This isn’t your typical Gospel conversation. We go beyond “What Would Jesus Do” and ask the real question: What Did Jesus Say? Because the true Good News isn’t just about the cross—it’s about the crown beyond it. Join us as we confront spiritual misconceptions, awaken dormant authority, and do the work to Crown Ignorant Kings—one truth at a time. Now, Let's Adjust Our Crowns! Crowning Ignorant Kings- Dr. Myles Munroe - Challenge Every Tradition for Truth Traditions are fine when they help connect us to the truth. Unfortunately, many of the things we hold as tradition are empty and only serve to draw us further away from freedom. Let's learn a few Kingdom truths about the things we come to believe because they are passed down from previous generations. Let's Adjust Our Crowns!

## Transcript

[0:09] Speaker 1: You're listening to Crowning Ignorant Kings, a podcast for citizens
[0:14] Speaker 1: with like minds who love God, follow Christ, and have
[0:17] Speaker 1: a desire to be an ambassador for the Kingdom of
[0:21] Speaker 1: Heaven on Earth. We are John and Charlene Donaldson, who
[0:25] Speaker 1: are teachers building a Kingdom community. Thank you again for
[0:29] Speaker 1: joining us. Now let's suggest our crowns.
[0:37] Speaker 2: From the beginning and the earliest records of man's existence,
[0:42] Speaker 2: Man has from generation to generation captured his experience in
[0:51] Speaker 2: a very common but very powerful medium. And I want
[0:55] Speaker 2: you to write the name of this medium down. From
[0:58] Speaker 2: the earliest records from the cave dwellings, men have captured
[1:02] Speaker 2: his experience in the medium called tradition. Tradit io n
[1:09] Speaker 2: very important word to all of us.
[1:12] Speaker 3: Tradition, tradition has been a.
[1:15] Speaker 2: Very common term all our lives, all the history of man.
[1:20] Speaker 2: You have heard terms like cultural tradition, social tradition, oral tradition,
[1:28] Speaker 2: ethnic tradition, and all these different terminologies in reference to
[1:33] Speaker 2: tradition is important not only a part of our understanding
[1:38] Speaker 2: of our history and development, but Tradition exists in every nation,
[1:43] Speaker 2: every culture, every ethnic group. Traditions exist in every social
[1:47] Speaker 2: and economic society. Traditions exist in every generation. Generations cannot
[1:53] Speaker 2: be valid without traditions. In many cases, traditions have been
[1:59] Speaker 2: the sole of our sense of historical identity.
[2:05] Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Should write that down.
[2:06] Speaker 2: Traditions really give us a sense of history and identity
[2:12] Speaker 2: with our history. The traditions that we practice in every
[2:17] Speaker 2: area of our society, they provide for us a sense
[2:21] Speaker 2: of identity.
[2:23] Speaker 3: With our history.
[2:24] Speaker 2: They also give us, secondly, a sense.
[2:26] Speaker 3: Of self awareness.
[2:28] Speaker 2: You really become aware of who you are when you
[2:31] Speaker 2: look at what your culture and your history was. So
[2:36] Speaker 2: tradition becomes a communicator of our self awareness. Also, tradition
[2:42] Speaker 2: furnishes us with a sense of perspective that is necessary
[2:47] Speaker 2: for a healthy self concept. I remember when I was
[2:53] Speaker 2: growing up, I always looked back and thought that many
[2:58] Speaker 2: of the things that we did as behavior in our
[3:00] Speaker 2: country was very unique and different compared to some of
[3:04] Speaker 2: the other nations.
[3:05] Speaker 3: And then I began to.
[3:06] Speaker 2: Travel as I grew older, and I saw how important.
[3:09] Speaker 3: And true that was.
[3:11] Speaker 2: It is good and write this statement down in its
[3:16] Speaker 2: pure state, tradition is good and necessary and essential. In
[3:22] Speaker 2: its pure state, tradition is good, necessary, and essential. I
[3:30] Speaker 2: say that because sometimes people have a bad attitude toward tradition.
[3:35] Speaker 2: I think that there is a reason why many of
[3:39] Speaker 2: us challenge traditions and why we have difficulty with some
[3:44] Speaker 2: of the traditions that we encounter in our generation. But
[3:49] Speaker 2: what is this mystery called tradition? Why is this word
[3:55] Speaker 2: tradition such a powerful word.
[3:57] Speaker 3: I want you to write the word down.
[3:58] Speaker 2: I'm going to define it for you, and the definitions
[4:00] Speaker 2: I'm going to give traditions are very practical, so you
[4:03] Speaker 2: can apply them when you leave this room.
[4:06] Speaker 3: The first thing.
[4:07] Speaker 2: You must not know about tradition is it comes from
[4:09] Speaker 2: the word trade, tr ade.
[4:14] Speaker 3: Write it down.
[4:15] Speaker 2: The word tradition literally comes from the concept to trade,
[4:20] Speaker 2: to trade something. It also means that this word has
[4:26] Speaker 2: to do with trading of a national or a personal
[4:32] Speaker 2: or a cultural experience. Make a note of that traditions
[4:37] Speaker 2: is the trading of a personal, a national, a cultural
[4:44] Speaker 2: experience that is considered worthy of transmission.
[4:49] Speaker 3: In other words, a tradition is.
[4:52] Speaker 2: An experience that a culture has, or an individual has,
[4:57] Speaker 2: or a nation has that they consider essential, unworthy enough
[5:04] Speaker 2: of transferring to the next generation. Do you understand that statement.
[5:09] Speaker 2: It's very important to understand that Traditions therefore, are experiences.
[5:15] Speaker 3: They are actual, factual.
[5:17] Speaker 2: Things that happened that the people who experienced them decided
[5:22] Speaker 2: that this is worth transferring to the next generation. So
[5:26] Speaker 2: a tradition is the trading of an experience or an
[5:31] Speaker 2: encounter with reality. In other words, a tradition is a
[5:35] Speaker 2: product of reality and truth of a person or a
[5:41] Speaker 2: culture or a nation that they want to preserve and
[5:45] Speaker 2: give it to the next generation. Now that's an important
[5:49] Speaker 2: statement because all traditions find their root in fact, truth
[5:56] Speaker 2: and reality.
[5:57] Speaker 3: Write that down. Traditions find their.
[6:01] Speaker 2: Root or their roots in fact, truth and reality. You
[6:10] Speaker 2: could use another word experience or tradition. Even if the
[6:14] Speaker 2: tradition that you meet on this planet when you arrive
[6:18] Speaker 2: you don't understand why they have it somewhere in the past,
[6:23] Speaker 2: it has a relationship to someone's experience or some truth
[6:28] Speaker 2: or reality that a person had and felt it worthy
[6:33] Speaker 2: to transfer to the next generation.
[6:36] Speaker 3: Traditions are designed.
[6:39] Speaker 2: Therefore, and you can make this as a definition of tradition,
[6:42] Speaker 2: Traditions are designed or created originally for the purpose of
[6:48] Speaker 2: capturing and preserving an experience or truth and repeat this.
[6:57] Speaker 2: Traditions were originally designed and created All Traditions are to
[7:05] Speaker 2: preserve and capture an experience or a truth to transfer
[7:12] Speaker 2: it to.
[7:13] Speaker 3: The next generation.
[7:15] Speaker 2: Simply put, traditions are created by man in order to
[7:20] Speaker 2: capture an experience or a reality and preserve it. Then
[7:27] Speaker 2: they can trade.
[7:28] Speaker 3: It to the next generation.
[7:30] Speaker 2: Now why this is so important because you see, if you
[7:33] Speaker 2: understand the purpose of tradition, then you'll understand what tradition
[7:37] Speaker 2: should not be. Let me make a statement that I
[7:40] Speaker 2: think is very, very intriguing. The essence of tradition is
[7:46] Speaker 2: a means to an end.
[7:49] Speaker 3: I'm going to repeat this. The essence of tradition.
[7:52] Speaker 2: Is a means to an end. In other words, a
[7:56] Speaker 2: tradition is a tool that was created to be used
[8:03] Speaker 2: to deliver reality. Let me repeat that for the sake
[8:08] Speaker 2: of those this need this tape. Tradition in its truest essence,
[8:15] Speaker 2: is a means to an end. It is a tool
[8:22] Speaker 2: created to be used to deliver reality. In other words,
[8:28] Speaker 2: tradition is the rapping in which truth finds itself and
[8:33] Speaker 2: it is delivered to the next generation in the package
[8:37] Speaker 2: called tradition. Therefore, tradition is important, essential, necessary, and very
[8:45] Speaker 2: valid because it is tradition that you are now transferring
[8:49] Speaker 2: to your little boy and your little girl. It's tradition
[8:54] Speaker 2: that we are transferring to the children's church from our
[8:57] Speaker 2: adult church. Believe it or not, it's happening right in
[9:01] Speaker 2: your generation, in your children. Tradition is being transferred right now,
[9:07] Speaker 2: from your supervisor to you, from your boss to you.
[9:14] Speaker 2: Tradition is being transferred from one political error to another one.
[9:23] Speaker 2: The question is when does tradition become dangerous? Now? Remember,
[9:30] Speaker 2: tradition is a necessary product that racks truth in it
[9:35] Speaker 2: to preserve truth so that truth can be traded with
[9:39] Speaker 2: the next generation. I have come to appreciate tradition more
[9:46] Speaker 2: than ever before, especially when you understand the purpose of tradition.
[9:52] Speaker 2: Twenty somebody says tradition has a purpose. Sounds simple statement,
[9:58] Speaker 2: but I tell you it causes a lot of problems. Therefore,
[10:02] Speaker 2: the goal of tradition, of our tradition, and can you
[10:05] Speaker 2: write this goal down? The goal of tradition is, and
[10:09] Speaker 2: everybody make a note of this somewhere, and your by
[10:12] Speaker 2: watching this by television, write this down in the palm
[10:14] Speaker 2: of your hand somewhere.
[10:16] Speaker 3: The goal of tradition is very.
[10:18] Speaker 2: Carefully to preserve, to protect, and to deliver experience and
[10:30] Speaker 2: established truth from one generation to the next.
[10:37] Speaker 3: Let me repeat.
[10:39] Speaker 2: The goal of tradition is to preserve, then to protect,
[10:49] Speaker 2: and to deliver establish truth and experience to the next generation.
[11:00] Speaker 2: Now you take a look at that goal, and you
[11:01] Speaker 2: would wonder if many of the traditions that we are
[11:05] Speaker 2: experiencing are doing this. Therefore, tradition is only valid when
[11:13] Speaker 2: it delivers original truth. Save with me, Tradition is only
[11:19] Speaker 2: valid when it delivers traditional truth. Let me say it again,
[11:26] Speaker 2: Say with me, tradition is only valid when it delivers
[11:32] Speaker 2: the original truth.
[11:34] Speaker 3: Let me say one more time with me.
[11:36] Speaker 2: Tradition is only valid when it delivers the original truth.
[11:45] Speaker 3: Think about what you just said.
[11:47] Speaker 2: That means the minute tradition stops delivering to you the
[11:53] Speaker 2: original truth, that tradition becomes invalid. I would like to
[12:00] Speaker 2: suggests then, that tradition can become the burial ground of truth.
[12:06] Speaker 2: I would like to further suggest that tradition can become
[12:09] Speaker 2: the cemetery of reality.
[12:12] Speaker 3: Tradition can become the.
[12:14] Speaker 2: Graveyard of experience. In essence, tradition itself can become its
[12:23] Speaker 2: greatest problem.
[12:26] Speaker 3: Write this down. The danger of tradition.
[12:32] Speaker 2: Is when it takes the place of the truth it's
[12:35] Speaker 2: supposed to deliver. This is an important, very serious message
[12:41] Speaker 2: for this time of the year. When tradition takes the place.
[12:47] Speaker 3: Of the truth it's supposed to deliver, that tradition is dangerous.
[12:52] Speaker 2: There are people who have submitted and have been connived
[12:57] Speaker 2: into accepting tradition as truth. Tradition was intended to lead
[13:07] Speaker 2: us to truth, not to become the truth itself.
[13:12] Speaker 3: Some of you all hear.
[13:16] Speaker 2: I feel so excited about what I'm saying that I
[13:17] Speaker 2: know I'm going to be saying this for the next
[13:19] Speaker 2: three years. Get used to it. I believe what God
[13:23] Speaker 2: is saying to the whole world is that you all
[13:25] Speaker 2: have confused the tradition with the truth that's supposed to deliver.
[13:32] Speaker 2: When truth is replaced by the tradition that's supposed to
[13:36] Speaker 2: deliver it, then that tradition becomes invalid and dangerous.
[13:42] Speaker 3: I suggest very strongly to you.
[13:45] Speaker 2: That tradition was intended to lead us to truth, not
[13:52] Speaker 2: to tradition. The greatest danger of tradition is tradition. The
[14:02] Speaker 2: greatest problem with tradition is the tradition. When the means
[14:10] Speaker 2: become the end, we are in trouble. When the means
[14:19] Speaker 2: replaces the intended purpose. We are in danger. Can I
[14:26] Speaker 2: recommend for your consideration that God's greatest problem with man
[14:34] Speaker 2: and I pondered on this early into the morning hours
[14:38] Speaker 2: this morning, God's greatest problem with mankind, I'm going to
[14:42] Speaker 2: give you his big problem. It's this.
[14:46] Speaker 3: Through the years, God's.
[14:49] Speaker 2: Problem has been man's constant tendency to make the method
[14:56] Speaker 2: the message.
[15:01] Speaker 3: That's a problem.
[15:04] Speaker 2: God's constantly having to try and deliver us from the
[15:10] Speaker 2: hose so we could get the water. God's constantly having
[15:19] Speaker 2: difficulty trying to separate the messenger from the message. Yes,
[15:28] Speaker 2: every time God communicates with man, he has to use something. Obviously,
[15:34] Speaker 2: what happens is we began to worship what he use
[15:38] Speaker 2: and didn't receive what it was.
[15:40] Speaker 3: Supposed to deliver.
[15:43] Speaker 2: That's not a new problem.
[15:46] Speaker 3: It's as old as the garden. I remember.
[15:49] Speaker 2: On the mode of transfiguration, here is Jesus in his glory,
[15:54] Speaker 2: glowing like a bulb.
[15:56] Speaker 3: The Bible says.
[15:57] Speaker 2: The waterge was turned up and he was transfer fig
[16:01] Speaker 2: His clothes vanished because of the light, and those dumb
[16:05] Speaker 2: humans fell on their faces and started saying, let's build
[16:11] Speaker 2: some monuments right here. So he could come back, mak
[16:16] Speaker 2: the sport and worship. The spot sounds familiar. I love
[16:21] Speaker 2: the voice from heaven. The voice Heaven immediately said, now
[16:25] Speaker 2: let me bring it up to date. Shut up, let
[16:30] Speaker 2: mean for some of you may be offended. The voice says,
[16:35] Speaker 2: be still, I mean stop, or you're talking and you're moving.
[16:40] Speaker 3: The words of God then were This is my beloved.
[16:44] Speaker 2: Son, and whom over our plays. Next statement, hear him,
[16:50] Speaker 2: don't build nothing here. Listen to what the man's saying.
[16:56] Speaker 2: Dangerous tradition, therefore, is very, very vulnerable, because it can
[17:03] Speaker 2: become the message. God's greatest problem with humanity is man
[17:09] Speaker 2: continually makes.
[17:11] Speaker 3: The method the message. Do you know write this down?
[17:14] Speaker 2: Denominations are a.
[17:16] Speaker 3: Product of.
[17:19] Speaker 2: Experiences that were made into doctrine.
[17:26] Speaker 3: Every denomination don't turn the TV are if.
[17:29] Speaker 2: You're a Baptist, Anglican, Methodist, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Catholic, whatever you
[17:34] Speaker 2: are or maybe or never used to be. Whatever you are,
[17:37] Speaker 2: I'm telling you that is not known in Heaven. Heaven
[17:44] Speaker 2: knows nothing of a Baptist. There's no such thing as
[17:49] Speaker 2: a Lutheran in the Bible. You tell God you're Catholic,
[17:53] Speaker 2: you don't know what you're talking about when you address
[17:57] Speaker 2: God and you say I'm a seventh day God, Say what.
[18:02] Speaker 2: God knows nothing about these terminologies we use, because all
[18:06] Speaker 2: of them are products of people's experiences that were frozen
[18:11] Speaker 2: into doctrine and they became a tradition themselves. Yes, I
[18:19] Speaker 2: tell you it's frightening because the best way you can
[18:22] Speaker 2: protect yourself from making a tradition truth is to remember
[18:29] Speaker 2: that experiences.
[18:30] Speaker 3: Are not as big as God.
[18:33] Speaker 2: In other words, God is bigger than anything he's done
[18:35] Speaker 2: for you. He's great than anything he's ever done. He
[18:39] Speaker 2: is better than how.
[18:40] Speaker 3: Good he is to you. Hello. And if you think
[18:43] Speaker 3: he did.
[18:43] Speaker 2: Something good, they tell tomorrow. In other words, don't ever
[18:46] Speaker 2: trap God into your experience. God is bigger than what
[18:49] Speaker 2: you think about him. Say something to me, somebody. God
[18:54] Speaker 2: is not limited to your last experience with him.
[18:57] Speaker 3: That sounds simple, but it protect you.
[18:59] Speaker 2: That means, no matter what God has done for you,
[19:02] Speaker 2: that's not all God could do.
[19:06] Speaker 3: I think it's frightening when when Luther discovered the revelation.
[19:10] Speaker 2: Personally, it was a personal revelation to Mardern Luther in Germany,
[19:16] Speaker 2: in that in that monastery, it was a personal revolution
[19:20] Speaker 2: revelation became a revolution.
[19:25] Speaker 3: But what we've done, we have.
[19:26] Speaker 2: Now named a whole denomination after Luther. If Luther could
[19:32] Speaker 2: see what happened today, he would.
[19:34] Speaker 3: Turn in his grave.
[19:36] Speaker 2: The man had a personal experience Wesley.
[19:40] Speaker 3: Wesley didn't come.
[19:41] Speaker 2: With a method. He had a personal baptism in the
[19:46] Speaker 2: Holy Ghost, experience with God. Wesley spoke in tongs, Wesley
[19:50] Speaker 2: dance in the spirit. Westley's the prayer meetings and crusades
[19:54] Speaker 2: all over England and America, and people would be rolling
[19:57] Speaker 2: over in the dust. And that's where they got Holy
[19:59] Speaker 2: roller is from from Wherey's meetings. And they begin to
[20:04] Speaker 2: attach a method to this thing, and they.
[20:07] Speaker 3: Froze it and start to trade it, and they.
[20:10] Speaker 2: Now develop a Methodist denomination. There's a method that he used.
[20:15] Speaker 2: They say, he want to freeze the method. I got
[20:17] Speaker 2: a warning for you. God is bigger than the method
[20:20] Speaker 2: resty experienced.
[20:24] Speaker 3: Don't ever believe that.
[20:25] Speaker 2: God is a Catholic or Baptist, or Methodist or Episcopalia
[20:29] Speaker 2: all charismatic.
[20:32] Speaker 3: God is God. He's so big he don't need no name.
[20:34] Speaker 2: Matter of fact, he told Moses, my name is I
[20:37] Speaker 2: am whatever I need to.
[20:38] Speaker 3: Be, when I need to be it. That's it. Be
[20:46] Speaker 3: careful when.
[20:47] Speaker 2: You think about what I'm talking about today. This will
[20:50] Speaker 2: protect you from becoming impressed with yourself. You see, Jesus
[21:02] Speaker 2: addressed this issue. I want you to glance over for
[21:06] Speaker 2: a second in Matthew chapter fifteen. When you do that,
[21:09] Speaker 2: Matthew chapter fifteen, please turn there.
[21:11] Speaker 3: It's interesting.
[21:14] Speaker 2: This idea of making the means the end. When God
[21:19] Speaker 2: gives you a message, you shouldn't fall in love with
[21:23] Speaker 2: the messenger and ignore the message.
[21:27] Speaker 3: Hello.
[21:28] Speaker 2: You know how many people this very hour around the
[21:30] Speaker 2: world they love Jesus this time of year, but don't
[21:36] Speaker 2: want to hear nothing he has to say.
[21:39] Speaker 3: Come on, I mean I.
[21:41] Speaker 2: Heard some of the most ungodly musicians singing about Jesus
[21:45] Speaker 2: this week, worshiping Jesus, talking he's the Savior Lord. And
[21:50] Speaker 2: then after the new year comes, they don't want to
[21:52] Speaker 2: hear anything Jesus has to say. That's falling in love
[21:56] Speaker 2: with the method but not the message. That's honoring the
[22:02] Speaker 2: holes but don't want to drink.
[22:06] Speaker 3: Hello. That's loving the apple.
[22:10] Speaker 2: But don't want to bite you. See in the Book
[22:13] Speaker 2: of Matthew chapter fifteen, Jesus had the problem here with
[22:16] Speaker 2: these religious leaders. Let's read it a second. It's very
[22:19] Speaker 2: beautiful example of making the end and the means reversed.
[22:26] Speaker 2: He says here that Jesus was approached by these Pharisees
[22:33] Speaker 2: and scribes, and they said, why do your disciples break
[22:39] Speaker 2: the traditions of the elders.
[22:42] Speaker 3: They don't wash their hands before they eat.
[22:45] Speaker 2: Everybody say, traditions of the elders.
[22:48] Speaker 3: Let me give you a warning.
[22:50] Speaker 2: Not because the elders keep it means it's right. Parents,
[22:56] Speaker 2: listen carefully. Not because your ma did it is right.
[23:01] Speaker 2: Not because your grandpa did it means it's right. Don't
[23:05] Speaker 2: don't don't get nervous. Now. I'm not destroying Grandmama's style,
[23:09] Speaker 2: but I want you to know that the eldest traditions
[23:12] Speaker 2: may not be the original truth. So these men came
[23:19] Speaker 2: up with the original argument, elders, traditions are being broken
[23:24] Speaker 2: by your disciples.
[23:26] Speaker 3: Watch his response, powerful response.
[23:28] Speaker 2: Jesus said, unto them, And why do you break the
[23:34] Speaker 2: command of God for the sake of your traditions? Did
[23:40] Speaker 2: you hear his voice? Did you hear his voice again today?
[23:44] Speaker 2: Cause how come you so serious about keeping yours to
[23:49] Speaker 2: the point where you will violate God's next line, he says, versus, therefore,
[24:02] Speaker 2: you nullify the word of God for the sake of
[24:05] Speaker 2: your traditions. He reads on down he makes that famous
[24:11] Speaker 2: statement you always hear this way, he says it. He says,
[24:14] Speaker 2: they honor me with their lips, but their hearts are
[24:19] Speaker 2: out of touch with me.
[24:24] Speaker 3: They worship me? What in vain? What a terrible thing
[24:28] Speaker 3: to say. They worship me, Yes, they worshiped me.
[24:32] Speaker 2: A lot of activity going on, he says, But in vain,
[24:35] Speaker 2: do you know how depressing it is to be busy
[24:38] Speaker 2: about the wrong thing? He says.
[24:41] Speaker 3: You worship me, of course, you worship.
[24:44] Speaker 2: Me, But in vain, that's the emphasis.
[24:46] Speaker 3: In vain means you are.
[24:48] Speaker 2: Sweating, dancing, fucking, jumping, shouting, singing, beating grounds and all
[24:54] Speaker 2: this stuff, he says. And it's all a wasted time,
[24:57] Speaker 2: empty wire, because it's just a tra tradition, and it's
[25:01] Speaker 2: become the truth itself. In vain. You worship me, They
[25:07] Speaker 2: worship me in vain, he says. And that teachings are
[25:10] Speaker 2: rules created and taught by men. Can I suggest that
[25:18] Speaker 2: when tradition replaces truth and attempts to become the truth,
[25:23] Speaker 2: it must be challenged and exposed. I'm gonna say this again.
[25:28] Speaker 2: This is gonna be a little bit spiritful of a
[25:32] Speaker 2: rebel here. I want to excite everybody in this room
[25:36] Speaker 2: and listen to this program. I want to command you
[25:40] Speaker 2: to challenge every tradition. I'm a rebel today because if
[25:47] Speaker 2: you don't challenge tradition, you could be living a lie.
[25:51] Speaker 3: Yes, yes, you see.
[26:01] Speaker 2: It is a responsibility, write this down, of every generation
[26:09] Speaker 2: to study, investigate, explore, and if necessary, challenge and if warranted,
[26:28] Speaker 2: change the traditions in their generation.
[26:33] Speaker 3: I'm going to repeat this.
[26:35] Speaker 2: It is the responsibility of every generation to study the
[26:43] Speaker 2: traditions they meet there then investigate them, explore them, and
[26:52] Speaker 2: if necessary, challenge them and.
[26:57] Speaker 3: If warranted, change them. I never thought i'd say this.
[27:04] Speaker 2: I help my daddy and mummy watching this program today.
[27:08] Speaker 3: It is necessary to do that.
[27:13] Speaker 2: I've seen people who are being brought up in a
[27:16] Speaker 2: tradition and they don't know why they do what they do,
[27:20] Speaker 2: and they couldn't explain to you why they did it.
[27:24] Speaker 2: I saw a guy miased on an airplane flying together
[27:27] Speaker 2: and he would be prayed over his food on the airplane,
[27:31] Speaker 2: and I blessed mine and and then when he finished,
[27:33] Speaker 2: he made this sign, you know, across his chest and
[27:36] Speaker 2: his head and stuff, and I just, you know.
[27:38] Speaker 3: Intrigued, I says, why do you do that? He says, I.
[27:42] Speaker 2: Don't know, just always did it. I said, but what
[27:48] Speaker 2: is the purpose for it? He says, I don't know.
[27:51] Speaker 2: We were just taught that in our family and it's
[27:54] Speaker 2: passed down. I said, so you just tip yourself in
[27:59] Speaker 2: four places and you don't know why. Now that's not
[28:04] Speaker 2: funny that tradition found itself in some root of truth
[28:11] Speaker 2: in someone's experience. The danger is here's somebody doing it,
[28:16] Speaker 2: don't know why.
[28:22] Speaker 3: What a tragedy.
[28:27] Speaker 2: It's the responsibility of every generation. I think there's nothing
[28:33] Speaker 2: immature about asking the questions why we do things? Why
[28:39] Speaker 2: do our society hold certain traditions? Does my family do
[28:44] Speaker 2: certain things? Why do we go this place? Why do
[28:46] Speaker 2: we do this?
[28:47] Speaker 3: Every year? They should ask questions.
[28:50] Speaker 2: And the sad thing is generations who do not challenge
[28:54] Speaker 2: traditions always transfer ignorance to the next one. We make
[29:01] Speaker 2: a statement, I think this is this.
[29:03] Speaker 3: Is gonna help you consider this.
[29:05] Speaker 2: If tradition is wrong, then the present reality will be wrong.
[29:15] Speaker 2: Let me repeat this. If tradition is wrong, then the
[29:20] Speaker 2: present reality will be wrong.
[29:23] Speaker 3: Make a note of that.
[29:24] Speaker 2: In other words, if you were handed the wrong thing.
[29:29] Speaker 3: And you do what you.
[29:30] Speaker 2: Were handed, you are doing the wrong thing. So what
[29:35] Speaker 2: you got a question is what is this you hand me?
[29:40] Speaker 2: You need to ask the old generation what is this
[29:43] Speaker 2: thing you gave me? Why did you do this? What
[29:46] Speaker 2: is the purpose for this thing you handed down to me?
[29:50] Speaker 2: The normal answer from an irresponsible generation would be, or
[29:57] Speaker 2: do aspects?
[29:58] Speaker 3: Just do what I say?
[30:04] Speaker 2: Couldn't you hear Jesus in the verse we read, I mean,
[30:09] Speaker 2: here are these men? Between Malachi and Matthew is four
[30:15] Speaker 2: hundred years, which means God did not come into the
[30:21] Speaker 2: human race in a personal prophetic form for four hundred years.
[30:28] Speaker 3: So he shows up. And for those four hundred years.
[30:31] Speaker 2: The elders of the church.
[30:35] Speaker 3: Had already crafted.
[30:37] Speaker 2: Designed, and developed an intricate tradition.
[30:42] Speaker 3: Of how to reach God.
[30:45] Speaker 2: See the problem.
[30:46] Speaker 3: And here comes Jesus in the Book of Matthew.
[30:50] Speaker 2: Hello everybody, And they say, you are disturbing the traditions
[30:57] Speaker 2: of the elders. His response, they need to be disturbed.
[31:09] Speaker 3: More than that, He says, you.
[31:12] Speaker 2: Have literally replaced truth with your trade.
[31:19] Speaker 3: Why do you make the truth of.
[31:21] Speaker 2: God null and void by your traditions. And then he
[31:27] Speaker 2: did them. He challenged them, he says, and you read
[31:30] Speaker 2: a scripture, he says, matter of fact, an example is
[31:33] Speaker 2: the truth is that you should take care of your parents,
[31:38] Speaker 2: he said.
[31:38] Speaker 3: But what you've done, literally is.
[31:40] Speaker 2: You have said, I'm gonna give my parents a check
[31:42] Speaker 2: once and that should cover them for life. That's what
[31:47] Speaker 2: he said. In that same verse, he says, what you've
[31:49] Speaker 2: done is made the word of God nullified by your traditions.
[31:56] Speaker 2: The implication is it's possible and very very for us
[32:01] Speaker 2: to make tradition truth.
[32:05] Speaker 3: Now I want to make another statement.
[32:06] Speaker 2: I want you to write this down as very wise
[32:09] Speaker 2: intelligent people. The statement is to ignore the original is
[32:16] Speaker 2: to forfeit reality. If you ignore the original intent of
[32:24] Speaker 2: a tradition, you will never experience the reality it was
[32:29] Speaker 2: intended to deliver.
[32:33] Speaker 3: Let me put it this way.
[32:37] Speaker 2: If tradition is wrong, the present reality is wrong and
[32:41] Speaker 2: the intended experience will be lost. Therefore, the transfer of
[32:49] Speaker 2: ignorance is the sacrifice and betrayal of the next generation.
[33:01] Speaker 2: Let me repeat this. The transfer of ignorance is the
[33:08] Speaker 2: sacrifice and the betrayal of the next generation.
[33:12] Speaker 3: When you ignore.
[33:15] Speaker 2: The fact that traditions might be wrong and you transfer
[33:18] Speaker 2: them to your children, you are literally sacrificing.
[33:22] Speaker 3: Your children to that lie.
[33:24] Speaker 2: And you are also betraying them because you are giving
[33:28] Speaker 2: them something that is not true.
[33:33] Speaker 3: Now, why is this so serious?
[33:35] Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you one voice of scripture to write down,
[33:38] Speaker 2: but you may read it as well.
[33:39] Speaker 3: It's found in Hosea, chapter four, verse six.
[33:45] Speaker 2: Everybody say, if if, if you don't know anything, and
[33:50] Speaker 2: you tell your children what you know, your children don't
[33:55] Speaker 2: know anything. I think you got the point.
[34:00] Speaker 3: Now Josea four. I read it. Verse six.
[34:02] Speaker 2: It says, God speaking, my people perish because of what
[34:07] Speaker 2: a lack of knowledge ignorance next verse and there will
[34:11] Speaker 2: be no priests or they cannot represent me next line.
[34:16] Speaker 2: Because you have ignored truth or knowledge. I must also
[34:23] Speaker 2: reject your children.
[34:25] Speaker 3: You hear it? Powerful, isn't it?
[34:27] Speaker 2: God says, If you dumb and you train your children,
[34:31] Speaker 2: they're dumb. Now, he says, if I couldn't answer your
[34:34] Speaker 2: prayers and you teach them your method, got the point.
[34:40] Speaker 2: I can answer their prayers now that The most powerful
[34:44] Speaker 2: truth here is that God is saying I cannot ignore ignorance.
[34:54] Speaker 2: See why this is so important because I've been brought
[34:57] Speaker 2: up with this attitude train many times that Michael this statement.
[35:01] Speaker 2: They say, but it doesn't matter what you do as
[35:03] Speaker 2: long as you're sincere You ever heard that.
[35:07] Speaker 3: That's not what God says.
[35:09] Speaker 2: God says, man, if you stupid and you teach your
[35:12] Speaker 2: children your stupidity, they'll be stupid.
[35:16] Speaker 3: And if I rejected you because you was ignorant and
[35:19] Speaker 3: they know what you know, I have.
[35:20] Speaker 2: To reject them because they know what you know, which
[35:23] Speaker 2: is nothing. In other words, truth doesn't come by osmosis.
[35:32] Speaker 3: Revelation doesn't come by growing up.
[35:36] Speaker 2: It comes by transferring truth, giving knowledge to somebody. So
[35:44] Speaker 2: it's possible to be sincerely wrong.
[35:51] Speaker 3: Tradition is a dangerous thing.
[35:53] Speaker 2: I would suggest that this statement made by God should
[35:59] Speaker 2: be the motivated for study. God says, if your mama
[36:03] Speaker 2: was wrong and she taught you what she knows, you
[36:07] Speaker 2: are wrong. Now let me tell you how that kind
[36:13] Speaker 2: of gets the little problems in our society because usually
[36:17] Speaker 2: the older people say, because I'm older, I'm wiser. Can
[36:21] Speaker 2: I suggest to you if you are older, it doesn't
[36:24] Speaker 2: mean you're wiser. I'm not impressed by your gray hair.
[36:27] Speaker 2: Gray has simply means you're old, doesn't mean you're smart.
[36:33] Speaker 2: And being older doesn't mean you're wise. It simply means
[36:36] Speaker 2: you're older. I think we need to get this clear.
[36:39] Speaker 2: Don't be fooled by somebody's age. There are some very
[36:44] Speaker 2: ignorant old people in the world. The majority of the
[36:46] Speaker 2: world is young people clapping back there. Now, why this
[36:54] Speaker 2: is so important because you see many times even the
[36:57] Speaker 2: older generation just exces that what Mama gave, what Papa
[37:02] Speaker 2: gave without challenging or questioning the validity of what they received.
[37:10] Speaker 2: It's dangerous. Therefore, and I think one of our members
[37:15] Speaker 2: he had told me that she was in a church
[37:17] Speaker 2: for for ten years and everything was She thought everything.
[37:21] Speaker 3: Was good until she read the Bible. And that sounds funny,
[37:29] Speaker 3: but it's not.
[37:29] Speaker 2: You could be in a thing and believe it's right
[37:34] Speaker 2: because you were taught that bought that way, condition that way,
[37:37] Speaker 2: trained that way. You never had an opportunity to be
[37:39] Speaker 2: exposed to the original intention of the tradition that you
[37:44] Speaker 2: now have. Therefore, I would submit to you that it
[37:49] Speaker 2: is possible to be zealously wrong. Make a note of that.
[37:52] Speaker 3: I like that you can be zealously.
[37:55] Speaker 2: Wrong, not just sincerely wrong, zealously sincerely wrong. Some people
[38:00] Speaker 2: excited about the wrong thing. You can't stop them.
[38:04] Speaker 3: Oh my tell you, mm hmm.
[38:06] Speaker 2: And some sitting in this room, I remember some of
[38:09] Speaker 2: your before you got a little bit of knowledge, I
[38:11] Speaker 2: tell you, you used to go and tell every party about
[38:13] Speaker 2: all that stuff that was wrong. I remember when it
[38:19] Speaker 2: was my time.
[38:21] Speaker 3: I did my piece of ignorance too.
[38:22] Speaker 2: Now, hey, when I thought, you know, there's certain things
[38:26] Speaker 2: that were definitely of the devil, then I discovered that's
[38:30] Speaker 2: not true. Somebody say tongs are of the devil. You know,
[38:36] Speaker 2: when people come against the Baptism and Holy Spirit and
[38:38] Speaker 2: tongs and all this stuff. I don't argue with them.
[38:40] Speaker 2: I never argue with them, I said, I remember when
[38:42] Speaker 2: I was.
[38:42] Speaker 3: There, right where there, I used to be there.
[38:47] Speaker 2: You could argue a man's philosophy, but you cannot argue
[38:49] Speaker 2: his experience. You see, that's the problem.
[38:51] Speaker 3: You may disagree what a man say, but you.
[38:54] Speaker 2: Can't stop him from saying it if he experience it.
[38:57] Speaker 3: You are in trouble saying.
[39:00] Speaker 2: And somebody your shout, somebody, I mean, some of y'all
[39:04] Speaker 2: used to be so dead in the dawn nail of religion.
[39:08] Speaker 3: God set you free, and now.
[39:09] Speaker 2: You think you are so somebody you better than everybody else.
[39:13] Speaker 2: It's a whole lot of stuff you still don't know.
[39:19] Speaker 2: It's possible to be sincerely and zealously wrong.
[39:23] Speaker 3: Now let me tell you what's dangerous.
[39:26] Speaker 2: To be sincerely wrong, it's bad, but to be zealously
[39:30] Speaker 2: wrong is dangerous.
[39:34] Speaker 3: There are some folks who are wrong, but they ain't
[39:36] Speaker 3: or no one else.
[39:37] Speaker 2: You know, they're not influcing anybody else too much. But
[39:40] Speaker 2: you got them folks who they got this excitement about
[39:43] Speaker 2: their wrongness, some.
[39:49] Speaker 3: Of them, I'm talking about her.
[39:51] Speaker 2: I mean, they start a ministry on the wrong annoy
[39:54] Speaker 2: They got the whole thing we're top. Let me get
[40:00] Speaker 2: give you an example. Tell me the Romans ten. This
[40:02] Speaker 2: one verse that will bless your heart. At Romans tent,
[40:06] Speaker 2: Paul addressed the issue of zealous ignorance when he made
[40:09] Speaker 2: a point about these religious needers again in his day,
[40:13] Speaker 2: and Paul says, underlying this verse is founding in Romans ten.
[40:18] Speaker 2: We can read verse four Romans ten, verse four. Here's
[40:22] Speaker 2: pause dealing with these very intellectual people.
[40:29] Speaker 3: Chapter four, verse ten. Everybody got it?
[40:34] Speaker 2: Romans what Romans ten, verse verse one, thank you checking
[40:38] Speaker 2: to Sue if you're listening today.
[40:39] Speaker 3: Praise the Lord.
[40:40] Speaker 2: All right, it says, brothers, my host desire prayer to God.
[40:44] Speaker 3: Is for Israel. It's usualized that they.
[40:46] Speaker 2: Might be saved. Verse two, for I can testify, He
[40:49] Speaker 2: says about them that they are zealous for.
[40:52] Speaker 3: God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Got it?
[40:57] Speaker 2: Now, you may say, well, as long as they sincere
[41:00] Speaker 2: and serious about what they're doing, God will forgive me.
[41:03] Speaker 3: Well.
[41:04] Speaker 2: Read the next line. Paul says, since they did not
[41:09] Speaker 2: know the righteousness that comes from God, they ran about
[41:14] Speaker 2: to establish their own sound interesting tradition. They said, since
[41:18] Speaker 2: we don't know how to get to God, we can
[41:19] Speaker 2: create our own road. Hello. The next line he says,
[41:25] Speaker 2: for Christ. He says, so they did not submit to
[41:28] Speaker 2: God's righteousness. Christ is the end of the law, so
[41:30] Speaker 2: that there may be righteous for everyone who believes. The
[41:33] Speaker 2: statement he's making is these people were zealous, but not
[41:36] Speaker 2: according to truth, and therefore they were earnestly.
[41:40] Speaker 3: Sincerely wrong. Do you know what it is to work
[41:44] Speaker 3: hard and go to hell?
[41:49] Speaker 2: Some of you all don't understand how important this message is.
[41:52] Speaker 2: Yet tradition can make you believe that.
[41:57] Speaker 3: It is the truth.
[41:58] Speaker 2: I think there are so many traditions that we swallow without.
[42:03] Speaker 3: Question, and we adhere to them, and we defend them.
[42:07] Speaker 2: I mean, we got traditions in our societies and our
[42:10] Speaker 2: family and so forth. I mean we would we would,
[42:12] Speaker 2: We would argue until our tongue turns blue because we
[42:15] Speaker 2: don't want, no why to touch what was handed down.
[42:19] Speaker 2: I hope you realize that you might be in a
[42:21] Speaker 2: handed a corn job. They were zealous, but not according
[42:29] Speaker 2: to knowledge. Therefore, I say we see that tradition is well.
[42:39] Speaker 3: It can be.
[42:42] Speaker 2: Put it this way, write this down. Tradition should be
[42:45] Speaker 2: the servant of truth, not become truth itself. Tradition should
[42:54] Speaker 2: be the servant of truth, not the truth itself. Tradition,
[43:02] Speaker 2: when it becomes the truth, it literally becomes the death sentence.
[43:09] Speaker 3: Traditions can lead us.
[43:12] Speaker 2: And deliver truth to us, or they can lead us
[43:16] Speaker 2: into error. Traditions can take us into truth or they
[43:23] Speaker 2: can take us into error. That's why you gotta be
[43:25] Speaker 2: careful not to make the tradition the end. I have
[43:29] Speaker 2: a very strong question to leave with you, and before
[43:35] Speaker 2: I make you this proposition, I want you to consider
[43:39] Speaker 2: some statements that we read earlier in this session, from
[43:43] Speaker 2: the Book of Isaiah. Write this statement down. The key
[43:50] Speaker 2: to tradition is not tradition, but it's intention. The key
[43:59] Speaker 2: truth to to tradition is not tradition, but it's intention.
[44:05] Speaker 3: In other words, the essence.
[44:06] Speaker 2: Of a tradition is not the tradition, but what it
[44:09] Speaker 2: was intended to deliver to you. That's the key to
[44:14] Speaker 2: a tradition. Intention is what the original purpose.
