7:01 am
super-light shark rocket powerhead, a technological breakthrough that delivers huge deep-cleaning power... >> it has more suction than any vacuum i've ever used. >> with the powerhead, as small and compact as it is, it still has tremendous suction to it. it blew me away. >> announcer: in a no-loss-of-suction upright that weighs only one pound in your hand as you use it... >> i cannot believe how light it is. i can get really close to my furniture, and i can just do it one-handed. >> announcer: ..ith effortless maneuverability... >> the powerhead was so easy to maneuver. it wasust a flick of the wrist that i was able to go around furniture >> announcer: ...and offers a radically new way to complete-clean your hard floors. >> the powerhead has the gentle brush that dusts the floor and has enough power to get it clean. i love it. it is fantastic. >> announcer: so, how did shark create a vacuum so incredibly powerful and yet so light and convenient? they started with one of their most powerful full-size
7:02 am
incredible deep-cleaning power right down into the head, creating a deep-cleaning vacuum that is shockingly lightweight in your hand and exceptionally maneuverable. there is simply no comparison to any other upright available today. on cpets, the shark rocket powerhead brings tremendous suction together with a deep-cleaning brush roll to pull out the ground-in dirt buried deep within the fibers, every time you use it. on delicate bare floors, the shark powerhead is extraordinary. many other vacuums that recommend turninoff the brush roll leave you with suction alone. but suction alone isn't enough to remove that stuck-on layer of dust, so your floors are left looking dull and dingy. but the shark powerhead gives you both incredible suction plus direct floor engagement with a unique gentle-touch hard-floor brush ro, removing that stuck-on layer of fine dirt to give your floors a true complete clean. on hard wood, suction alone leaves that dusty layer behind,
7:03 am
on tile, suction alone can't do the job, but the powerhead gets it all and makes it shine. >> with the softer brush that comes with the shark powerhead, it just sweeps up that real fine dust and makes a nice, polished-looking floor. >> the gentle brush roll is great at polishing up after it pulls up all of the hair and dirt, which was amazing. >> announcer: and the powerhead solves a problem that stops other vacuums in their tracks -- furniture. but the sleek and agile powerhead goes wherever the dirt is without moving the furniture. i've never been able to get under this table with a vacuum. this is perfect. >> announcer: the powerhead is more than just muscle. it's super lightweight and so easy to carry. but its breakthrough design will amaze you because you only feel one pound of weight-in-hand when you use it. this thing is a breeze. there's no effort. it goes by itself. >> announcer: for pet owners everywhere, the shark rocket powerhead is a dream come true. >> the powerhead is the absolute perfect vacuum for people who have pets.
7:04 am
retrver. with the powerhead, i can go over the floors one time quickly, and it sucks all the hair up. >> i can get in those nooks and crannies and really get out all that pet hair that's lurking everywhere. [ chuckles ] >> announcer: the powerhead pulls so much dirt up from carpets and up from the floors. to empty the dust cup, you just pop, lift, and empty. it's like no other vacuum you've ever used before. compared to dyson's latest cineti both have no loss of suction, both have deep carpet cleaning, but only the new shark powerhead gives you one pound weight-in-hand at a third of the cost. shark c.e.o. mark rosen is so sure you'll love the powerhead, he's going to do something shark has never done before. when youurchase the powerhead, mark is going to give you an additional shark vacuum, free! everyone is familiar with shark's top-rated lift-away vacuums that retail for up to $350. they offer incredible portable cleaning performance.

7:06 am
>> i'll never go back. >> i want to tell everyone about it because it's so great. >> hi. i'm amy motta, and i'm here with the c.e.o. of shark, mark rosen. and mark, i know you've got a big announcement to make, so let's just get right tit. >> amy, you know that we've spent the past few years in what i' call a friendly rivalry with dyson, and i'm proud to say that now, compared to dyson, twice as many americans choose shark vacuums. >> mark, that's huge news. congratulations! >> here is the original shark rotator professional. it's been one of our best-selling, five-star-rated uprights. but i challenged my engineers to take all the incredible shark technology and magic that went into creating this, and put that winning shark mojo into something really compact and lightweight. now, take a look at the new shark rocket powerhead! look at this! it weighs only about nine
7:07 am
it's amazing! >> i cannot believe how light it is. >> this is awesome. >> it was so light but so powerful. >> this has got to be the lightest weight vacuum with the most power that i've ever experienced. >> now, check out this mess. there's sand, there's potting soil, there's crackers, but look at what happens when the shark powerhead meets this challen. look at that. >> wow! >> look how wonderful this is able to deep-clean your carpets. >> this is unbelievable. >> i'm amazed. >> i was shocked at the amount of power. >> to have that much power coming out of such a small product is an engineering marvel. and it's so maneuverable. >> let's talk about mauverability. the powerhead has only one pound weight-in-hand when you use it. can you believe that? look how easily i can maneuverer the vacuum. look how easily i can get underneath furniture. this is simple.
7:08 am
>> we call this dynamic power steering. >> the maneuverability is phenomenal. >> one flick of the wrist will get me into any little corner that i need to. >> it's so easy to get around into the places where i need to go without having to move all the furniture. >> announcer: to prove that the lightweight and compact shark rocket powerhead can pick up what other vacuu leave behind, we asked people to first vacuum with their own bigger, heavier uprights on their own carpets. these folks did the same thorough job vacuuming they normally do, and they were completely satisfied with the result but then we asked them to try the rocket powerhead for the first time and vacuum the same area. once they tapped the lever and removed the dust cup, well, they just couldn't believe how much dirt the powerhead was still able to pull out of the very same carpets they just vacuumed with their current vacuum. >> oh, my gosh. this weighs nothing, and it still was able to get all of that. >> i would have never imagined
7:09 am
this much dirt in this area, especially after it's already been vacuumed. so, i'm just shocked. i'm shocked and embarrassed. [ chuckles ] >> come check this out with me. >> okay. >> now first, have you ever seen anything like this? >> no, i haven't. >> it's a brush-roll garage, and it makes cleaning or changing your brush roll so simple. look how easy it is to pop out and then to put back in. >> nice. but wait. there's something different about this brush roll. >> this is our exclusive gentle-touch hard-floor brush roll. this is going to change hard-floor cleaning forever. other vacuum brands advise you to turn off the brush roll when you're doing hardwood floors, so you're left with suction only. but suction alone doesn't get all the dust. there are actually two layers of dirt on your floors -- the top loose layer of debris and that stubborn, stuck-on layer of fine dust. suction can pick up the loose,
7:10 am
get the fine, stuck-on layer of dust, so your floors are left dull and dingy. but look at the powerhead handle that same mess. its gentle-touch hard-floor brush roll keeps turning. you have incredible suction pulling up the larger, loose dirt and the direct engagement of those soft filaments that buff away that thin layer of stuck-on dust to give you a complete clean. just take another look at this. which do you want for your home? >> the really nice thing about the powerhead, in addition to picking up all the particles and the hair, it also dusts the floor and gives it a very polished look. >> i don't have to worry about the powerhead scratching the floors with the soft bristles. it's vacuuming and dusting the floors at the same time, which i love. >> with the shark rocket powerhead, we've created something really special -- a lightweight, compact vacuum for everyday use that is designed to
7:11 am
complete-clean a your hardwood floors. >> the powerhead is the absolute perfect vacuum. it's small, it's lightweight, it's easy to move, but at the same time, it has incredible suction power and incredible cleaning power. i don't think i could go back to another vacuum. >> i am a true believer. i was a little skeptical in the beginning. i said, "how can something so lightweight and so small and so compact be that good?" and i was pleasantly surprised. it's the most amazing product i've ever had. >> announcer: introducing the ground-breaking shark rocket powerhead -- the most powerful, deep-cleaning, no-loss-of-suction vacuum with only one pound weight-in-hand convenience. pure cleaning power plus effortless maneuverability -- the powerhead features shark's exclusive dynamic power steering. with just the flick of your wrist, you can go around, in between, and under furniture with ease. on carpets, the powerhead brings tremendous suction together with a deep-cleaning brush roll to

7:17 am
the vacuum is light, easy to maneuver. i like how easy it turns around all of the furniture. and so, it's really easy to clean up the pet hair. >> amy, we developed an ingenious brush roll tt allows you to clean your bare floors in a whole new way. we call it the gentle-touch hard-floor brush roll. you see, traditional vacuums use suction alone on hard floors, and while suction picks up loose debris, it can leave behind a stubborn layer of dust and dirt. with the gentle-touch hard-floor brush roll, we combined incredible suction with gentle agitation that allows you to pick up not only the loose debris, but the stuck-on fine dust as well. this is something that no other vacuum has. the shark engineers put together the brush-roll garage. that means no belts, no screws, and the brush roll pops out that easily. now, look over here.

7:29 am
announcer llo and welcome to through the bible with les feldick. an oklahoma rancher and farmer, les feldick has been teaching home-style bible classes for over twenty years in iowa, oklahoma and texas. les feldick's unique style of bible teaching has made the books of the bible come to life. when les is teaching, it's so interesting that people say, 'time just seems to fly by.' and now here is les feldick. les feldick okay, good to have everybody back. and once again we're just going to pick right up where we left off in galatians chapter 4 and i guess roy's got it on the board, we're going to jump right back at verse 10. and again, we
7:30 am
those of you who are bringing us into your living rooms, your den, or whatever. and again, we just hope that you can feel like you're a part of our studio audience and we just love to hear that you're taking your bible and you're following with us because as i've said so often, i don't want you to go by what i say, but line it up with the book. oh, listen, there's so much false teaching today that is not according to the word of god and i'm not going to point them out or make any accusations but all i tell people, whatever you hear. i don't care ether it's from my denomination or yours or timbuktu; search the scriptures and line things up with the word of god because that's how we're going to be judged. not according to what some denomination criteria but what does the word really say. a you know, i've also qualified that with the opposite. you know you
7:31 am
about what the word does not say, because a lot of people have got a lot of ideas that the word says something and it doesn't. it's not in here. but you've got the freedom to search the scriptures and see if these things, as the bereans did, are really so. all right, chapter 4 and let's just drop down to verse 10 and you remember how we closed the last program. these galatian believers were turning back to the weak and the beggarly things, which tells you what the law really was from man's point of view. it was perfect from god's point. it was absolute. it was righteous. but from man's point it was weak and beggarly because it had no power to help people keep it. i hope you all understand that. the law was weak and beggarly because it had no power to help mankind keep the demands of the law. but, this gospel is empowered by the person of the holy
7:32 am
that now sets us in the right direction and consequently we do not need the law. we are not under it, because the holy spirit takes up where the law leaves off. all right, so now then, verse 10 and oh paul says, this is all a sign of their weakness and their going back under legalism, he says, "you observe days, and months and times and years." now what group of people did that? well, not only the pagans, but israel. the whole israeli economy was based on the new moons and on the holy days, the high sabbath as well as the regular sabbath and everything was regulated according to the moons and the signs and so forth. d paul says, and you're going back into that same stuff.
7:33 am
particular day or feast day or celebration day. all right, reading on in verse 11, so now he says, "i am afraid of you (he's beginning to doubt the veracity of their profession of faith).i am afraid of you lest i have bestowed upon you labor in vain." now what does he mean? listen, i've stressed this especially when we studied the two corinthian letters, how much the apostle raul suffered and deprived himself that the gospel might go to these gentile communities. and now he says, if you're turning your back on everything that i have taught you and proclaimed and preached to you, and now you're turning back under the law, did i do all that in vain? well, listen it was bad enough that it was in vain for raul, but oh how much worse when you
7:34 am
what christ had done. you know i've been stressing that for the last several months. what a waste, when christ has already accomplished everything that needs to be done for every human being. and then they walk it under foot. go on their merry way, totally unconcerned and indifferent and the blood of christ is accounted as nothing. oh, indeed it was in vain for those. for those of us who believe of course, it wasn't. all right, so he says, "i am afraid lest i have bestowed upon you labor in vain." now look at verse 12 where once again, he says almost identical what he said to the corinthians and the philippians. "brethren i beseech you." now he's not commanding. see that's not grace. he never says by commandment, but he says,
7:35 am
be as i am." now he was an apostle, of course he was. but, was he beyond the reach of the ordinary believer? no. no, he was a sinner saved by grace, just like you and i. and so he says, "be as i am for i am as you are." see? he didn't put himself above the rank and file. he said, i'm nothing more than a sinner saved by grace like the rest of you. oh, granted these galatians had come out of paganism. but what had raul come out of? judaism. and in the final analysis, how much difference was there? none. none. they were all, as he says in romans chapter 3, they are all without god. they are all on their own way. and the fear of god was with none of them. all right, so he says, "you have not injured me." they
7:36 am
i want to come back to what he says early on. turn with me to i corinthians chapter 4. a lot of people i suppose either don't know it's in their bible or if they do know it they don't like the fact that it is. but in i corinthians chapter 4 verse 16. i corinthians chapter 4 verse 16 and he's got a couple of others in the corinthians that say almost word for word the same thing but we won't try and take time to look them all up. but i just want to take a scattering so that you see that he wrote it to all of his churches. that they were to follow his example. now today, most people say, well follow jesus. that's not what paul writes. paul says, that we're to following him because who is he llowing? he's following the ascended christ see? he's following the ascended christ and we follow paul. have you got i corinthians 4 verse 16? "wherefore (he said) i
7:37 am
beg of you, he can't command it but he says).i beseech you, be ye followers of me." see how plain that is? "be ye followers of me and for this cause i have sent unto you timothy, my beloved son and that he might bring you into remembrance of my ways." because after all, where did timothy learn what he had? from paul. and so everything is going out from this one apostle. barnabas learned everything he had, silas learned everything he had, timothy, titus, epaphroditus and all of these friends and fellow laborers had all learned it from the apostle paul and so he says, "be followers of me." "and bring into remembrance (verse 17) my ways which be in christ
7:38 am
in every assembly." all right, now flip all the way forward if you will to philippians. philippians, galatians, ephesians, philippians, the last chapter i think it is. philippians chapter 4, no chapter 3. philippians chapter 3. philippians chapter 3 verse 17. philippians chapter 3 verse 17, "brethren.now of course he had a real warm place in his heart for the philippians, didn't he? not a word of criticism in this letter. and they had loved the apostle so much and i think mostly because he nearly went into physical death in philippi and they nursed him back to strength. and so he has a warm spot in his heart for
7:39 am
but look what he says, "brethren be followers (verse17 n).brethren be followers together of me and mark them who walk so as you have us (himself and of course his - timothy and titus and so forth).and that you have us for an example." because they had experienced god's saving grace and they had suffered for the sake of the gospel and they had given up so much for the gospel and so raul says, be willing to follow me for the sake of the gospel. all right, now then, as you come back to galatians 4 for just a second and then we're going to go back to ii corinthians, so he says, "i'm afraid of you (verse 11 and 12, repeating it now. galatians 4: 11-12).i
7:40 am
have bestowed upon you labor in vain. i beseech you, be as i am, for i am as you are; you have not injured me at all. you know how that through infirmities of the flesh i preached the gospel unto you at the first. and my testing (which is a better word than temptation).and my testing which was in my flesh, you did not despise nor rejected; but you received me as an angel of god, even as christ jesus." so they immediately recognized that the apostle was the emissary of christ. all right, come back with me to ii corinthians. we saw this and i emphasized it in our corinthian study, but i don't want you to forget it. oh, ion't want you to forget this. because as i said in a earlier
7:41 am
castigated. he is, what should i say? rejected. and he is ridiculed many times, but oh look what he says. ii corinthians chapter 11 and verse 5. and this theme runs all the way through his epistles. that this is why he is the major writer of the new testament. you know, somebody sent me, i think it was a lady here in tulsa, in fact al, i think it was your wife betty, sent me an article that substantiated what i've always claimed, that luke was a jew. and i've always put it on the idea that when paul said that israel was more, what shall i say? they were more advantageous than any other group of people because unto them were committed the word of god. well, i've always used that verse as the basis for
7:42 am
have been a jew because otherwise, paul couldn't have written that. because when you take the gospel of luke and the book of acts that is a goodly portion again of the new testament. and luke wrote them both. well, if luke was a gentile, then paul could not have rightly written by inspiration in rans 2, 'what profit then hath the circumcion? much, every way, because unto them were committed the word of god.' and so this article just substantiated and i was so thrilled to read it. and he said the only, only hope that tse people have to claim that luke was not a jew is as thin and as weak as cotton thread. that far more likely luke was a jew although he had a roman name, but so did saul. see? saul was a jewish name, but what was paul? that was a roman name. and so many of the jews of that time had jewishames as well as
7:43 am
was probably one of those. but anyway, that was just an aside, i just happened to think of that. that i so appreciated that confirmation that i was right on when i say that luke is part of the jewish writers of scripture. all right, now ii corinthians chapter 11 verse 5. look what paul says again, "for i suppose i was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles." now i don't know what the average person thinks but when i read that term 'the chiefest' apostle, who do you have to think of? peter. of course. he was the spokesman. he was thleader and when you go back into acts chapter 2 and acts chapter 3 3hen those jews sold all their ods and transferred it into cash, at whose feet did they lay it? peter. so peter was the spokesman, he
7:44 am
the twelve. so i'm sure this is what he's relating to. that he was nonoone whwh behehd peter in authority. you know, i had other ththght here notot too long agogogogogogo since i taught the ii cococohiananananuse you rememberer made mentioioofof e fact that t t t t t t t t t t t probably took three years in a abibiso t t tgod d d d 2 eaeaeao get judaism out of paul. but judaism out of paul. but then i thought of another one not too long ago. you know, asashehe v v vusus opopsers of paululululis eshihi i'm sure the gument a aayaywas, 'but ter and the others, they hahathree e e s withthesus. ey spepe threeeeears witit him going up and down the stststadadofofalestine. you didididididididihe may not have spent three years in palestine, bububububububu three years with, i think a ivate tutoragegerorororororororororo lord jesus himself. so you
7:45 am
t one whit behind the twelve. i think now that's why it had to be three years atount sinai. surely it didn't take that long just to learn the things that he was goingo be preaching, but in order to give him that full authororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororororthree years in arabia. all right, still again in ii corinthiananchchchchchchchchchchchchchch coming over to verse 23.3.3. corinthians chapter 11 verse 23. we almost have to start with verse 22. ii corinthians chapter 11 verse 22. "are they, (again, he's speaking of,susu, peter and the eleven).are they h hrews? so am i. are they israelites? well so o i. are they the seed of ofourse was s e crowning bragging righghghf f jejejehahahe
7:46 am
what does raul say?) so am i. (so they've got nothing on him there.) in labors even more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prison more frequent, in deaths oft." and then he goes on to show and then this is what he has in mind for these galatians. you mean to tell me i went through all of this in vain? and look what he did. "five times from the jews he received the forty stripes, save one (which was 39. now listen if you understand scourging which this was, usually a man could not take 39 and he would die. and so they usually had to stop short. but he went through it five times without benefit of antibiotics. without benefit of hospital care. and so how he suffered. "three times i was beaten with rods." well, you know that's sort of like the poor kid in hong kong a couple of years ago when
7:47 am
world screamed, you know. brutal. inhuman. well, listen this apostle went through that three times. three times. and he was not guilty. one he was stoned and we know the account of that, back up there in asia that, back up there in asia minor. "three times he suffered shipwreck (he was dumped in the ocean.) a night and a day he'd been in the deep." "and then on top of that of all the perils of robbers, from his own countrymen, from the heathen, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, weariness," the man was human. he got tired just like we do. he hurt, he ached, of course he did. "and then in hunger and thirst, cold, nakedness, fastings" all of these things he experienced and
7:48 am
chapter 12 now and repeats again why hean write the things that he writes and we can just literally rest on them. chapter 12 verse 11, ii corinthians chapter 12 verse 11, for he says, "in nothing (the last part of the verse).in nothing am i behind the very chiefe apostles." and again i'm sure he's making a reference to peter. he was not half-a-step behind peter in his authority or in his revelations or anything else. although he always makes sure of the fact that in himself, he was nothing. well, i didn't even read verse 23, up in chapter 11, sorry about that. so he says, "are they hebrews? are they the children of abraham? (and so forth.) i am more." well
7:49 am
remember. but, "i am more." so now he's even taking a little head step against peter and the eleven. he has a half-a-step ahead of them. all right, all of this to show then, as you come back to the galatian letter. chapter 4 verse 13 again, "you know how through infirmity of the flesh i preached the gospel unto you at the first." now i won't take the time to turn to it but do you remember what he says in i corinthians 15? how that you received that which i had first received. see? and he's always bringing this up that he is at the head of that long line of sinners saved by grace that comprise the body of christ. all right, then verse 14, galatians 4, "and my temptation (and i think the word testing fits this
7:50 am
which was in my flesh you despised not nor rejected. but you received me as an angel of god even as christ jesus." again go back to ii corinthians chapter 12, some may not be aware, i may have new listeners on this program that have never heard this before. oh what was the apostle's testing? that three times he asked the lord to take it from him. but the lord didn't heal him. but the lord answered him. all right, verse 6, ii corinthians 12, we have to jump in at verse 6 and this is just after he had seen the revelations of glory. and from which he could write, 'eye hath not seen nor ear heard the things that god hath prepared for them that love him.' so now then he comes back from that experience and he says, verse 6, "for though
7:51 am
(the word i always like to put in there is 'brag,' oh, how he'd like to brag. oh you have no idea what i saw! if only i could tell you what i heard. but he says,) "i'll not be a fool." god told him he couldn't do it. "for i will say the truth, but now i forbea(in other words, i withhold telling these things even though the pressure was beyond imagination) lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be or that he heareth of me." of course what was the danger? my, to be able to know somebody that had actually been to glory and had come back and could tell about it! my goodness, the world would beat a path to his door. so that's why god had to tell him, you can't reveal it, you can't share it. but here's what i want you to see, verse 7 and 8. "and lest i should
7:52 am
through the abundance of the revelations." now do you see what that says? lest he should get boastful and puffed up because of everything god had revealed to him, not only with what he saw in glory but even these tremendous revelations of scripture. this is enough to give anybody the bighead. but oh he said, "lest i be puffed up through the abundance of the revelations (wt did god do? gave him a thorn in the flesh to keep him humble.) and so there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of satan." now we don't know whether it was a demonic angel or what but somehow or other god, like he did to an extent with job, permitted the apostle to suffer an affliction. god didn't inflict it; god permitted satan to just
7:53 am
there in the old testament. "and so he gave to me a thorn the flesh, the messenger of satan to buffet me (and for what purpose?) lest i should be exalted above measure." because of all that god had revealed to him. and then he says, verse 8, "for this thing i besought the lord three times (and asked him straight out) lord take this affliction away from me." and i'm sure it was an eye affliction. others would disagree, but horror of horrors i won't even repeat what some group of theologians as i had it rehearsed to me, thought his affliction was. i mean it just goes to show you how low people can get, but nevertheless, i think his affliction was a typical middle eastern eye disease and it would matter and it
7:54 am
many times to look at and so the apostle just literally must have said, 'now lord, how can people stand to look at me? how can i stand up and preach to these people when i look so awful?' but god says what? raul that's when i can use you. you remembe when i'm always pointing out when he took moses to the backside of the desert, spent 40 years with what? sheep. you ever been around sheep? hey, they don't smell very good. they don't smell very good. and there were no people. no population to speak of. and then on top of that joseph made it so plain to the brethren; when they came brethren; when they came down to goshen, for goodness sakes, don't tell pharaoh that you're a shepherd of sheep because a shepherd in the eyes of an egyptian was a what? an abomination. an
7:55 am
words, for all practical purposes, moses was egyptian. that's the culture that he'd been raised in and then to look at himself and smell himself and say i'm nothing but an abominaon! thth god says, okay moses, now we're ready. we'll go to pharaoh. see? and so you have the same thing. paul, oh he would liked to have been something nice to look at. paul would liked to have been a big, probably handsome jew, like king saul. but he wasn't. and yet, now look what god said, verse 9 and i guess our time's about gone. oh god says, "my grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength (god says) is made perfect in weakness." and so it was in that weakness with this affliction of the flesh, when paul thought that he was unfit to go
7:56 am
sophisticated people. i can imagine especially when he was on mars hill amongst all the big wheel philosophers. and here he is with this affliction that is not very nice to look at. and he must have, he must have just said, lord please, please take this away from me, so that at best people will not be turned off by what they see. but god says, paul that's not the name of the game. the name of the game is your message and the power of my spirit. announcer thank you for watching through the bible with les feldick, a weekly bible study. if you would like more information about the les feldick ministries, a bible study in your area,
