Symptoms, Signals, And The System

We challenge the idea that relief is the same thing as healing, and we ask what your anxiety, emptiness, and compulsions might be trying to tell you. We connect modern distraction culture with Scripture and point to heart transformation in Christ as the real root-level fix. 
• reading the Beatitudes as a map for where to look 
• reflecting on sayings from the Gospel of Thomas and the “kingdom within” 
• defining symptoms as signals that point to root causes 
• calling out a culture that profits from insecurity and addiction 
• naming distraction engines like scrolling, consumerism, pornography, and comparison 
• contrasting temporary dopamine relief with lasting spiritual healing 
• asking what it means to gain the world and lose your soul 
• emphasizing heart transformation over behavior modification and self-improvement 
• ending with prayer for deliverance, clarity, and real rest

A Toast To The Misfits

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the ones who see the world differently, who don't fit neatly into boxes, and refuse to live by someone else's script. You can quote them, you can disagree with them, you can glorify them or vilify them, you can shake your head at their ideas or be inspired by their courage. But the one thing you cannot do is ignore them. Because they change things. They disrupt what's comfortable, they challenge what's normal, and they push the human race forward. Sometimes with loud revolutions, sometimes with quiet persistence that changes everything over time. They see possibility where others see limits. They dare to dream out loud when the world tells them to be silent. They take risks, they stumble, they rise again, and they keep going. Not because it's easy, but because they can't imagine doing anything else. These are the ones who remind us that every great leap forward was once considered impossible. So here's to them: the ones who won't sit down, won't be quiet, and won't stop until the world is different. Because they're the reason it will be.

Matthew. I've got it. Yes. What is it? What? Directions where people should look to find me. Okay. Give me a moment. Have I? Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. For they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful. For they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart. For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers. For they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad. For your reward will be great in heaven. Yes. But how is it the map? If someone wants to find me, those are the groups they should look for. And then you are the salt of the earth.

And it is motivational Monday for you. It is an amazing thing. Man, I feel good. I hope you guys feel good too. I mean, I got up at 6, I got a shower, I got my mojo coffee on. I mean, the separation is in the preparation, right? Because we have no choice. We have to make it through. So, guys, when I say motivational Monday, don't break before your breakthrough. Don't break before your breakthrough. Well, guys, I'm gonna read you something real quick I found pretty cool. This is a hidden book, supposedly. It's the out of the gospel of Thomas. I'm gonna these are some sayings of Jesus. Um the first one is says, Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death. Wow. So basically, sounds like Jesus is saying, When you figure out what I'm saying, you won't taste death. Let's move on to the second one. Let one who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will be troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will become astonished, and he will rule over all. You know, let's go to uh this the next one. The kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. It's pretty blatant. It's pretty blatant. I think he also says, if they say the kingdom is the sky, then the birds will be there before you. If they say the kingdom is in the sea, then the fish will be there for you, before you. But the kingdom is inside of you and outside of you. Wow. That's pretty deep stuff there. Yep. The next one, when you make the two one, and when you make the inner like the outer, and the outer like the inner, then you will enter the kingdom. Man, is that like that's boss level, right? Righteousness boss level. Next one, blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of heaven. Where have we heard that before? That's right in the Beatitudes. And then the last one I'm gonna talk about, it says, if you bring forth what is within you, what you have will save you. Man, y'all see where it's going? Y'all see where it's going? I see where it's going. And I think what we're gonna do today is we're gonna talk about where it's going because the title of today's show is going to be symptom signals in the system. And we're gonna talk about treating symptoms while spiritually dying, and we're gonna talk about the world as it is, the 3D world of matter. Because in a world like this, everybody wants relief, right? Everybody's in pain, everybody's chasing some kind of satisfaction or relief. It's almost as if it was set up and designed that way, right? Everybody needs more money to ease their anxiety, everybody needs more entertainment to escape their emptiness. Everybody needs more validation to cover up their insecurity. Everybody needs more success to quiet the fear of bills and financial burdens. And everybody needs more pleasure to simply numb the pain. But everybody has forgotten the main question at hand. The simple main question that we should be asking ourselves and everybody around us is simply why are we sick in the first place? Why are we sick in the first place? You see, symptoms are symptoms are signals. And the reason signals exist in the first place because there is a root cause. It's a cause and effect. That's how the world works. But you see, modern society has mastered the art of keeping people distracted with symptom management while never really addressing the condition or the root problem, which is the soul. There is no profit to be made in that. Well, maybe there is. I haven't found one yet. But the current system profits from brokenness, it monetizes anxiety, it feeds addiction, it sells identity, it rewards vanity, and it normalizes spiritual emptiness. Trust the science, they say. But you see, the enemy doesn't always destroy people like the movies say. Excuse me, chapter six, verse nineteen and twenty-one. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. Listen to this closely. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. So is your treasure in materialistic things? Is your treasure in this world? Because Yeshua was exposing the system long before social media existed, long before the internet existed. You see, this modern world, this modern society is a lot like it used to be back then. The world teaches you to chase money. The world teaches you to worship image, chase image, chase followers, chase pleasure, chase status. Chase false gods. But you see, Yeshua asks, What's happening to your soul while you gain the whole world? You see, the enemy understands something. If he cannot keep you from breathing, he will try to keep you from thinking. Dumbed down in a spell or broadcast. You see, today's society floods people with noise, endless scrolling, outrage, entertainment, pornography, consumerism. That's a big one. They know exactly what lights your fire. You want to know why? Because you have given them a digital imprint of yourself and your daily spending habits right there on the internet, and you have been doing it for the last 30 years. So you think you cannot go a day, a minute without buying something. And they know that. And it doesn't matter what you're buying. They know that. It could be stuff that's good for you, health supplements. It doesn't matter. But we know that if your body's still not right, fasting is the only thing that heals. But they know you're just gonna keep consuming. Next one is celebrity worship, bao worship, and then the last one is comparison culture. Oh, my neighbor just got a new truck, oh my neighbor just got a boat, oh my brother just got a new house. Women even do that with kids. Oh, she just had a baby. I gotta get baby fever. I mean, it's amazing what followers we are, and we all follow the wrong thing. Ooh, that was good. It's amazing what followers we are, but we are following the wrong things. You see, the world has all this stuff to offer, not because these things solve pain, but only they only sell temporary solutions for the symptoms because solving the root pain does not make the money that you can make selling solutions. Look at Ecclesiastes chapter one, verse 14. I have seen all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and vexation of the spirit. You see, the world keeps handing us temporary release, reliefs, dopamine, likes, purchases, substances, applauses. But you see, temporary relief, fighting symptoms is not healing. A narcotic, a painkiller, can only hide infection while the body actually dies. You see, and spiritually, many people are like that. Many people are smiling publicly while bleeding internally. And then, meanwhile, the world profits off broken people. Think about it. Think about it. If people truly found peace in God, entire corporations, entire industries would collapse because they wouldn't need them. You see? Because those systems, those corporate entities thrive off insecurity, lust, fear, comparison, greed, loneliness, everything that is temporary in this life, it's the dopamine effect. You see, marketing advertisements preach a false gospel, a false prophet. You're not right until you buy this, you're incomplete until you do this. You are valuable if people desire you. You matter if you go viral. You are successful if other people envy you. That's what life says. That's what the programming says. That's what the broadcast says. All witchcraft, all spells. You want to know what scripture says? Turn your Bible to Mark chapter eight, verse thirty-six. It says, What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Meanwhile, the world's treating symptoms insecurity to vanity, emptiness to entertainment, fear to control, loneliness for lust, guilt, denial. But you see, the only thing that can heal any of those things is Christ Jesus. You see, humanity's deepest issue is not political. It's not who's on whose team. It's not financial. It's not emotional. But it is a spiritual separation from God. That's the root of sin. A spiritual separation from God. Look at Romans chapter three, verse twenty three. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Guys, sin isn't just bad behavior. Sin is a corrupted heart. That's the reason rich people still feel emptiness. That's the reason famous people still overdose. That's the reason celebrities commit suicide. Success in this world is not the same success that you need for your soul. Because money is nothing more than a distraction. It cannot heal anything. Can it make things easier in this world? Yes. But without obedience, without a relationship with Christ Jesus, it cannot. Look at Jeremiah chapter 17, verse 9. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it? You see, the symptoms reveal something bigger, way bigger. And Yeshua Christ Jesus points at the root, showing you the fruit. Because oftentimes religious focus is on behavior modification. But Yeshua came to focus on heart transformation, and he lives inside of you. You see, a lot of people in the world just say, try harder, be more disciplined, manifest positivity. But you see, self-improvement cannot resurrect a dead spirit, right? You can do all those things. And I heard it say the other day, if you don't have your house right, your job won't be right. Your personal life won't be right. Nothing will be right unless you have your house right. And the way I took that, your house is the temple, the body of Christ, because he lives inside of you. Ezekiel 36, 26 says, A new heart also I will give you, and a new spirit will I put within you. You see, he doesn't promise just an outside decoration like a Christmas tree. He regenerates, he transforms the inside. If you look at 2 Corinthians 5 17, therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new. You see, that's why real salvation changes desires, it changes priorities, it changes your thinking, it changes the way you talk, it changes your relationships and who you come encounter with. And it changes the most important thing in your life, and that is your purpose. Because when the root changes, the fruit changes. Can I get an amen? Can I get an amen? You see, everything in this world, everything you feel, touch, smell, see is temporary. You see, cars rust, bodies age, money fades, platforms disappear. There's always something replacing something else because trends die. You see, fame is that word for being famous. And fame evaporates like the steam from a vape cart. That's how quick. Yet people sacrifice eternity for those temporary applauses, for those temporary solutions, for those temporary feel-good moments. You feel? First John 2, 15 and 17 says, Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world, and the world path is passeth away. And lust therefore, thereof, excuse me, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. There it is again. He who do the will of God abide with forever. Jesus said, He who understands the message will not taste death. The system says, Build your kingdom. Yeshua says, Seek first the kingdom of God, and he will give you your kingdom. Matthew 6, 33. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you. You see, the question is not, how successful are you? Or how successful were you, or how successful are you going to be? The question is, do you know God? That's a big question. You see, some people listening on this call right now are tired. I know I am. Some people are exhausted. Not because life is hard, but because you keep treating the symptoms and doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result while the root and the cause remains untouched. Because you've tried money, you've tried relationships, you've tried substances, you've tried drugs, you've tried alcohol, you've tried validation, and you've tried success. And every one of those things was a distraction. And you were just fighting the symptoms because your soul might be still aching. You see, because the symptom is pointing towards the root cause. The root cause is reconciliation with Christ Jesus, with God, the Creator, the healer, the great author in the sky. And that's the beautiful news of the gospel. Because Yeshua is not afraid of broken people, he actually came for them. In Matthew 11, 28, it says, Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Not temporary rest, but real rest. Not symptom and pain management, but transformation, not escape, but salvation. And if you do not have a relationship with him today, you better get right. Let's go to the Lord in prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, please just open our eyes to the emptiness of this world and the deception of chasing things that are temporary. Lord, please reveal the root cause. Slap us in the face with it. And Lord, we ask you to heal what only you can heal, deliver us from the distractions, the addictions, the pride, the spiritual blindness, Lord. Help us draw closer to Yeshua and teach us to store our treasures in our heart with Him instead of in this dying world. Lord, we thank you for this week. We thank you for this new season. Please transform our hearts from the inside out and the outside in. It's Yeshua's holy, heavenly name we pray. Amen and hallelujah.
