In 1 Corinthians 9:19-22, we have the popular Sha'uline discourse concerning his desire to be all things to all men that he might by all means save some. This alone has been used erroneously to justify immoral behavior by some, but that is not really our purpose here. We need to go back to verses 19-21 for our study. Here is how the narration goes:

Verse 19

"For though I am free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

Verse 20

And unto the Hebrews I became as a Hebrew, that I might gain the Hebrews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

Verse 21

To them that are without law, as without law (being not without law to the Most High, but under the law to HaMashiach), that I might gain them that are without law."

Paul begins by stating that he is not controlled or led by any man, but rather he is a servant to all men that he might gain them. His purpose is to win their trust. He will do this by empathizing with them. He will approach them from their perspective and from their point of view and needs. This in no way teaches that he will take on their behavior or even mystically become them. This is verified by his first statement: "to the Hebrews I became as a Hebrew". Paul states emphatically many times that he is a Hebrew, or that he has remained a Hebrew. So he certainly did not become a Hebrew to win the Hebrews. He also does not equate the Hebrew as being the one under the law. This statement is listed separately. These statements cover various situations that Paul, in his ministry, confronts. Paul obviously does not run away or shy away from anybody. He strives to understand a person's circumstances. He is not teaching that he becomes a drunk with the drunks in order to save the drunks, but rather he will not turn away from the drunk because he is a drunk. So Paul will minister to the drunk from the drunk's world. He will minister to the Hebrew from his world. He will confront those under the law from their mind set, considering their way of thinking and their kinds of problems. Remember that those who are under the law can be Hebrew or in the Nations and have chosen to reject the Most High's gift of grace, and chose rather to remain under the dominion of sin because they cannot keep the law. Paul is not under the law because he has confronted the Messiah and has seen his condition and has received His grace. He is unabashed in his zeal to win those who are without the law, who do not know the law for whatever reason. Then he says, "being not without law to the Most High, but under the law to Maschiach." This is somewhat difficult to understand for Paul has used a double negative here. Paul is simply stating that he is not outside the true Torah of the Most High, which is under the law of the Maschiach. Perhaps better stated is that he is not subject to the letter of the law but the spirit of the law. The letter and spirit of the law is a very Hebrew concept that I will explain later. Paul then becomes as weak to those who are weak. This, I believe, is a reference to those addressed in Romans chapter 14:1-12. All Paul is saying here is that he is a witness of the Maschiach to all, no matter what there condition. These passages do not teach that Hebrews are the ones under the law, or that being under the law means obeying Torah.

It is now time to address a few of the tough ones. The majority of the occurrences of this phrase are in the book of Galatians. I want to set a basic foundation for the phrase before we get to these very misunderstood verses. First we must keep in mind to whom Paul is addressing his concerns. He is writing to believers in the nations who have been deceived by some Hebrew believers into believing that works of The Old Testament are required to enter the kingdom of Yah or to stay in the kingdom of Yah.

This is in the Bible. The Most High says look, if you walk away from what? My laws, my statutes, I will what? Inflict on you nationally, personally, community--madness, blindness and confusion. Some of the laws they're debating is a sign of madmen. Just madness.They are so proud. Same-sex marriage is now available in this country. What are you proud of? That's a dumb biological decision. Two men cannot produce. Let's go to your biological book. So The Most High says you'll be mad. Madness means you will make decisions that make no sense. Blindness means you can't even see that it doesn't make any sense. Confusion means you think it made sense. What brings madness, blindness and confusion? Simple. Walking away from laws! Don't touch the laws He says. In other words, the secret of success in times of confusion is going back to default. All of us who own a computer know about that right? When the computer begins to misbehave you don't try to figure it out. You shut it down and reboot. All of The Most High's words are reboot words. It's redeem, restore, recompense, repent, revive, reconcile, redeem. He's always saying come back! Reboot. When we want change, we have got to first go back to default to make sure that the change lines up with the manufacturers original state. Default means going back to the original manufacturers state. My telephone was doing something funny yesterday and I kept trying to figure out what's going on. I got kind of confused and then I remembered to turn it off. Some of us have got to shut our whole countries off, just cut them off and say let's go back, let's reboot. Because the way our country is going, the way our city is going we are confused. Reboot. We have got to start again. Fiveamprayer, default means to return to the manufacturer. The Most High created everything, He is the manufacturer. He created the heavens and the earth and the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and the people who dwell in it are also his. So if anything goes wrong with any part of this stuff, He says reboot, shut down, stop and go back. Your future is not ahead of you, your future is behind you. The Most High says come back to your future. It's in default. Here’s a couple of thoughts about the North. The knowledge of direction first requires knowledge of the north. Secondly the nature of change is defined by the unchanging nature of the north. Thirdly, the greatest challenge in life is establishing who's the source of your North? And the fourth one is whoever defines your true north is your God. Oh boy this is why in order for people to change against The Most High's north they have to get rid of The Most High. If you get rid of The Most High, you create your own north. This is why we heard our founding fathers tell us when they were here in the same building they said don't touch the preamble. our present governor said these words he said the preamble is the underpinning of the Constitution. The preamble says this country shall be governed in respect of the King’s principles and spiritual values. That's in our Constitution it's the underpinning. Let me ask you a question: what is the underpinning of this building? The foundation. What's holding it up? The foundation. What's keeping the walls from falling? The foundation. In other words, without the foundation this whole thing just collapses. What they were saying is if you take the King’s principles out of the Constitution, you have no house. Without true north you have another God. Why do you think those who want to violate The Most High's law constantly try to get rid of The Most High? They march the streets, you know? They say things like no religion in politics! What everybody's saying is no Most High in our affairs! They say things like separation of church and state. What are you talking about? That's what they're saying. We don't want The Most High to be in our state. This is a dangerous philosophy. They say things like you preachers stay in your churches and will stay in the government. Are you crazy? I don't want you to address your atheism into intellectualism. Don't intellectualize atheism. We know people get ideas to get rid of The Most High all over! When your country says the Bible is our foundation. That is a good country. Now they're debating these issues of homosexuality--so what are they going to do with the Bible then? Because the Bible says if a man sleeps with another man that's an abomination. That's in that book. That's not my opinion. That's in the book. Don't take it personal and if it discriminates against you then deal with The Most High, that is not my problem. Take it up with The Most High. Sometimes people act as if when you quote The Most High's word it is you talking, but you know I'm an ambassador. An ambassador never speaks their personal opinion. They always say things like my government's position is...

So I say to all of you around the world my government position is….. This is what it says in our constitution. I'm afraid for your great-grandchildren. What country will they live in? You are deciding it right now. Everything will change. Change is only possible where something is constant. If you told me you moved, it means that you were stationary. So any change indicates there was a constant. In essence we must be careful what we change and we must be careful because not everything should be changed. Some things were created to remain unchanged, stable and it's my job to scream to the world don't touch that one. In other words, never confuse change with growth. Do you realize that you grew from a boy to a man but you are still a male. You grew from a girl into a woman but you are still a female. In other words, you grew but you never changed. Don't confuse growth with change. Our country is growing! But has it changed from what it's supposed to be? Are you becoming a gambling mecca while you're trying to get more jobs? Are you becoming a crime center while you are getting more business? Oh yes you're growing but have you changed? I was sent from heaven, my country is heaven, my king is The Most High and I am mentioning what The Most High says. In other words, when you start violating my citizens safety, friendship has to go on the side. Yes we're friends until you start affecting my citizens. I love all my friends but let me tell you something, when you touch the law of The Most High and you attempt to meddle with that, we aren't friends anymore. My friendship will never be at the expense of compromising my convictions. Some of y'all have some friends on your job. You have to talk to your friends and say honey if you keep doing that I can't eat with you anymore. The Bible says if a man is caught in a sin and he confesses restore him. But if a man is caught in a sin and he does not repent it says disassociate yourself from that man. That's in the Bible. I don't want nobody thinking I am with you if you aren’t with The Most High. There has to be some standards. Don't confuse change with growth. They can say well our country needs to advance. Ever heard that? We need to become more progressive. Remember those words? We need to become more liberal. The world is moving ahead we are being left behind. Oh I hate that statement. Yes, leave me in the right position. Go, go, go, go I would love to be left in the right position. In other words, leave me if you want to. I am not going to leave right--to be wrong. The world is growing into oblivion, they are growing into confusion. Do you want to grow with them? Don't confuse growth for change. When you were born a male, you were born a male. As a baby four inches long you were a male. Now you are big, six feet tall and you are still a male. You grew but you didn't change into something else and I promise you, you will die a male. So you can cut your hair, put earrings in your ears, break your wrist, you can walk anywhere you want but brother you are a…. MALE. You grew but you didn't change! Lighthouses are principals. Lighthouses never move. The ocean moves around, waves move, ships move. Lighthouses never move that's why the lighthouse is so important. The most important thing to a ship is the lighthouse. Everything else he can't trust. You know the story about the guy who was an admiral and they were doing war games in the north ocean by Alaska. And the Russian and the American continents kind of meet together up there so they all do exercises in the ocean up there in their big ships. They say this is a true story and they said that the American Admiral was taking his men out on a training mission in the ocean and they were teaching the men how to shoot the guns and how to deal with waves and all this stuff. And the Russian had the same thing going on on the other side. And the fog came down so they couldn't see each other anymore. And the admiral of the American ship saw a light in the fog and he knew in his mind that was the Russian ship and they were heading directly toward the light and so he sent a message by radio and said will you please turn three degrees to the left northwest or we will collide and the light flashed back a message and said you turn three degrees to the right north west or you will crash, you will collide with me. The American Admiral became very insulted and he said how dare this Russian captain tell me what to do. By this time they are much closer now on their way to collision and he sent a message and he said do you know who I am? I am an Admiral of the fleet of the top US military and naval command. I am directly related to the President and this long list he gave. Therefore you must move now three degrees to the right or we will collide and the light flash back a message I am a lighthouse. The Most High is saying look I am not moving. You adjust yourself to me. Write these words down. Principles, natural laws, divine precepts, truth, roots, foundation. A tree can never outgrow its roots no matter how big it grows it stays attached to the root. A fish can never outgrow water no matter how big the fish grows it must stay in the water. Our house can never outgrow its foundation no matter how many stories you put on top of it it has a remain on the same foundation. Humans can never outgrow oxygen no matter how big you think you grow. In other words, there are some things you cannot outgrow. When you touch these laws they don't die, you die. The lighthouse says I am not going to die, you are going to die. We cannot change unless we know the lighthouse. Proverbs 22 verse 28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors. that's in the Bible. Don't touch the ancient stones. another verse Jeremiah 6 verse 16 this is what the Most High says: stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said we will not walk in it. Stand where? At the crossroads. Every country right now is at the crossroads with moral decisions, value systems of decisions, economic decisions and The Most High says, look you are the crossroads. When you're at the crossroad He says ask for what? The ancient paths. Don't go forward, go backward He says. Connect yourself to what you left. You cannot outgrow the original.
