00:01 Have you ever wondered how some pastors are able
00:02 to draw so many profound points from the Word of God? 00:05 Have you ever asked yourself how do they have 00:08 the whole Bible practically memorized? 00:11 Well, stay tuned to find out about a unique system 00:14 that you can implement that will help you see 00:16 the Bible like never before. 00:18 My name is Jason Bradley, 00:20 and you're watching Urban Report. 00:44 Hello and welcome to Urban Report. 00:46 My guest today is Pastor Ivor Myers, 00:49 speaker and director of Power of the Lamb Ministries, 00:52 and he is also the co-host 00:54 of Dare to Dream Network's Salvation 00:55 in Symbols and Signs. 00:57 Welcome to Urban Report, Pastor Myers. 01:01 Thank you. It's good to be on. 01:03 And thank you for having me. 01:05 You're welcome. And it's great to have you on. 01:07 I wish you were actually here with me in the studio, 01:11 but you know with all his social distancing 01:13 and stuff here, out there in Cali. 01:16 Yes. Yep. 01:18 Yes. Yep. 01:19 We're living in a different world. 01:21 That's right. 01:22 Living the quarantine dream as they call it. 01:24 Yeah. 01:28 You know, a lot of people see you as Pastor Ivor Myers, 01:32 but they don't know your history, 01:34 like have you always been a theologian? 01:40 No. 01:41 You know, before I became a Christian, 01:46 actually, I was in the music industry. 01:50 And on my way... 01:52 Well, actually, we had signed a multi-album, 01:58 eight album contract with EMI Records. 02:01 I had begun recording our first album. 02:06 It was on Soul Train, MTV, 02:09 all of that doing the whole thing. 02:11 And that's when I was introduced to the gospel. 02:17 And it just made a profound impact on my life. 02:22 And I left it all behind and basically entered. 02:27 Didn't think I was going to become a pastor, 02:29 but gave my life to the Lord and decided, 02:32 "Lord, whatever You want me to do that I'll do for You." 02:35 And there is passion, 02:37 there is burning desire in my heart, excuse me, 02:40 to share the gospel just, you know, 02:44 could not be quenched and that's how I ended up, 02:50 you know, in the ministry. 02:51 Got you. 02:52 So that's kind of the long and short of the story. 02:54 Yeah, the juice down version if you will. 02:58 The juice down version. 02:59 Yes. 03:00 Now how were you introduced to the gospel? 03:05 So we were... 03:10 When we got our record deal, we were all living in New York, 03:15 it's four-man group, 03:16 but we had a whole group of friends 03:18 and entourage with us, 03:19 and we had an interest in things like 03:24 the New World Order. 03:25 And our unique angle was we were coming 03:28 from the Bible as conscience as rappers, 03:33 but we didn't even really know what the Bible said 03:35 that was just our angle that we were using, 03:39 you know, our gimmick if you will. 03:40 I don't want to call it a gimmick, 03:42 but we, you know, 03:43 kind of like that's going to be our unique thing. 03:46 And so a friend of a friend of ours 03:53 came to our house one night, 03:54 this friend invited him to our house. 03:56 We didn't know who he was, 03:58 didn't know that he happened to be a Seventh-day Adventist. 04:02 And he invited us to his home. 04:06 I'm sorry, he invited us. 04:10 I'm sorry. 04:12 He was invited to our home. 04:14 Got you, got you, got you! 04:16 That's what happens when you are on lockdown, man. 04:18 That's all right. 04:21 Yeah. 04:22 But anyway, so he came to our house, 04:26 so we were all hanging out, you know, doing our thing. 04:29 And we ended up getting into this religious discussion, 04:33 specifically about the mark of the beast. 04:36 And we had no real clue about what that was, 04:39 and this guy just started to break down. 04:42 And it was really an impromptu discussion. 04:44 Wow. 04:46 He begins to break down the Bible to us 04:47 and break down Daniel 2 and Daniel 7. 04:51 The prophecies speaking about the end times, 04:54 we had never heard anything like it. 04:55 It just kind of revolutionized everything for me, 04:58 particularly in that one night. 05:00 Wow. Wow. 05:02 So on that one it just changed. 05:04 Yeah. 05:05 Yeah. 05:07 That's incredible. 05:08 So now you've been walking with the Lord 05:11 for how many years? 05:16 It's been 25 years now. 05:21 Wow. 05:22 Wow! And... 05:23 Twenty-five years. 05:25 And you've implemented a program 05:27 or a system called Photo-Theology. 05:31 Right. What is Photo-Theology? 05:35 So, Photo-Theology is... 05:40 It's a term that I have coined. 05:43 And it basically means the study of God or the study 05:47 of the Bible through the use of images or pictures. 05:51 Okay. 05:52 So you've heard the saying a picture is worth 1,000 words. 05:59 I take that principle and applied to the scriptures. 06:03 So basically, in this system, 06:06 you are learning to study 06:08 the Bible by studying it in pictures, in images. 06:12 Okay. 06:13 When I was younger, 06:15 there was a card game that I used to play 06:16 called Concentration. 06:18 And you may be familiar with that game? 06:19 You had all the cards facing downward, 06:21 and you had to basically remember, 06:24 where that you flip the card and then you'd have 06:27 to remember where the matching card was. 06:29 Yes. 06:31 So it was a memory game. 06:35 But that principle is basically 06:39 what I took into the scriptures. 06:40 Now I didn't know that I was doing this at the time. 06:43 Right? 06:44 I didn't understand... 06:45 When I came into the church, 06:49 I didn't necessarily have anyone teaching me 06:51 how to study the Bible. 06:52 So I had to learn on my own basically. 06:56 Yes. 06:57 I learned through reading books, 06:59 I learned by listening to other preachers, 07:02 and I was always interested in, you know, 07:05 I guess I was interested in how you put this thing together. 07:09 So another thing is as a former rapper, 07:16 right, you are always trying to find a unique way 07:19 of saying the same thing. 07:21 Yes. 07:22 You didn't want to say something the way 07:24 someone else said it. 07:25 So I think subconsciously I kind of took that principle 07:27 into my Bible study. 07:28 Got you. 07:30 I would, you know, see a truth and my mind 07:32 would just automatically kind of ask, "Well, 07:35 how else can I look at this? 07:37 How else can I present this?" 07:40 And so all of that kind of led to this system which... 07:45 What would happen is people would ask me, "Hey, 07:49 how do you study the Bible like that? 07:50 How did you come up with that? 07:51 How did you find that 'cause I've been looking 07:54 at the Bible for, you know, 07:55 this long and I didn't see that?" 07:56 I'd ask you that. 07:58 And I actually like kind of... 07:59 Yeah. 08:00 Yeah. 08:02 So I kind of had to, like stop from it and say, 08:05 "Okay, what am I doing?" 08:07 Right? 08:08 How am I doing this? 08:10 And in studying the way that I studied, 08:13 that is how Photo-Theology came about. 08:17 Wow! Okay. 08:18 Right, it was okay. 08:20 This is how I'm studying. 08:21 This is how I'm breaking it down. 08:22 So then I took that principle and basically began to share 08:25 with others and so Photo-Theology 08:28 has evolved into an entire system. 08:32 So I think we've done an interview 08:34 on this once before, a couple of years back. 08:36 It has evolved since then, 08:38 and I'll share a little bit more about that, 08:41 you know, later on in the program, 08:42 but in a nutshell that's Photo-Theology. 08:45 Got you. 08:47 Right? 08:48 It's learning to study the Bible through images 08:50 because we remember pictures 08:52 a lot easier than we remember words. 08:55 Yes. 08:57 So that's kind of the idea behind it. 08:58 And so is that how you teach how to memorize the themes? 09:03 So one of the things that I've just started teaching 09:09 to my students 09:11 is how to memorize the Bible. 09:16 So when I say that how to memorize the Bible, people, 09:19 you know, typically like, "Memorize the Bible? 09:21 What are you talking about?" 09:22 Yeah. 09:24 You need to have like a photographic memory 09:25 to do that. 09:28 And what I share with people is that you do 09:30 have a photographic memory. 09:32 They're like, "No." 09:33 So I've given a challenge, 09:35 and I'm actually taking my students through this now. 09:37 And it is to memorize the themes of the Bible. 09:44 So instead of memorizing words, we're memorizing pictures. 09:47 Okay. 09:49 And basically, I'm saying, "Listen, 09:51 you can have the whole book of Genesis memorized 09:54 so that if I asked you what's in Genesis 5, 09:59 you should be able to tell me, 10:01 'Oh, Genesis 5 is the genealogy of Adam.'" 10:04 Got you! 10:05 Right? That's the goal. So people are like, "No. 10:07 How is that even possible?" 10:08 I'm like, "You can do this in a week or less." 10:11 And so that's kind of what we have been... 10:15 Some of the things I've been teaching my students 10:17 is we're going through 24 chapters at a time. 10:22 And, Jason, I've decided that we're on this program, 10:26 I'm going to take you through this challenge 10:28 and show you that you can memorize 10:30 the first 24 chapters of Genesis. 10:33 Oh, boy! 10:34 You look nervous. 10:36 Yeah, I'm nervous 'cause you try and give me 10:37 pop quizzes on Salvation in Symbols 10:39 and Signs and stuff all the time. 10:43 So yeah... 10:45 Yeah. 10:46 All right, well, take me through the system. 10:49 All right. So basically what we... 10:52 And I'm gonna explain a little bit more 10:53 about this a little bit later on, 10:55 but let me just start with this now. 10:57 I want you to imagine. 10:59 Let me go back 11:01 to the Photo-Theology for a second. 11:04 So in this system of photo theology, 11:08 we have a palace where I call it a photo-theology palace. 11:11 Okay. 11:12 Your photo-theology palace has 24 rooms. 11:16 Okay. 11:17 So imagine a palace in your mind 11:19 and in this palace, there are 24 rooms. 11:22 These 24 rooms represent 24 different principles 11:29 in photo-theology. 11:30 Okay. 11:31 Right? So each room is a different study room. 11:36 Okay. 11:37 So for example, here's the dimensions room. 11:39 In the dimensions room, there are five dimensions. 11:43 The literal dimension, the Christ dimension, 11:47 the me dimension, the church dimension, 11:51 and the heavenly dimension. 11:53 These five dimensions are different ways 11:56 in which you can read the Bible. 11:58 I'm coming back to the memory thing, 11:59 so just hold that thought. 12:00 Okay. 12:02 Most people... 12:03 So let me give an example, the sanctuary. 12:06 In the literal dimension, God said, 12:08 "Let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them." 12:11 That's the literal dimension, 12:12 a literal sanctuary was made in the presence of God 12:14 was in the sanctuary. 12:16 In the second dimension, Christ said, 12:19 "Destroy this temple, 12:21 and I'll raise it again in three days." 12:23 That's the second dimension. 12:25 Christ is the temple and the presence of God 12:28 dwelled in him. 12:29 Amen. 12:30 The third dimension is the me dimension. 12:33 No, you're not that you 12:35 are the temple of the Holy Ghost. 12:37 Wow. 12:39 And the presence or the Spirit of God dwells in you. 12:41 So in the third dimension, the temple is pointing to me. 12:45 Wow. 12:46 In the fourth dimension, it's the church. 12:48 Right? 12:49 We are all lively stones that are brought together 12:53 to form the house of God or the body of Christ 12:57 and the presence of God dwells in the church. 13:01 The fifth dimension is the heavenly dimension. 13:04 Okay. 13:05 There is a literal sanctuary in heaven, 13:07 and the presence of God is literally there. 13:10 Wow. 13:11 Okay? 13:13 That's just 1 rule out of 24. 13:19 I could spend an eternity in this palace. 13:22 You can spend. 13:24 Most people when they read the Bible are only reading it 13:26 in two dimensions, 13:28 the literal dimension what is just literally mean, 13:31 and the me dimension, how does it relate to me. 13:33 Yeah, that's very true. 13:35 By doing that you're missing out. 13:37 In other words, this is what I say. 13:38 You can read through the entire Bible 13:40 through the first dimension 13:41 and then go back and read through 13:43 the entire Bible in the second dimension. 13:45 How do these stories relate to Christ? 13:47 Then the third dimension, how does it relate to me? 13:49 Then the fourth dimension, how does it relate to church? 13:52 And then the fifth dimension, 13:53 how does this story relate to heaven? 13:57 Okay? 13:58 Again, most people are only reading the Bible 14:00 in two dimensions out of five. 14:03 Wow! 14:05 That's just one room. 14:06 Yeah. 14:08 That's just one room. 14:09 Yeah. 14:10 If you only had that room, you have everything you need. 14:12 Wow. 14:13 But we have 23 more to go. 14:15 We have 23 more rooms to go through. 14:17 We have 23... 14:19 Absolutely. 14:20 So you can take a text, go into the dimensions room, 14:25 come up with five different ways 14:27 you can look at that text 14:29 and then take that text over to the next room. 14:32 All right, let's go to the concentration room. 14:34 Okay. 14:36 Or let's go to connect room or let's go to the time room. 14:40 And now you're being able to... 14:42 You get what I'm saying? 14:43 Yeah. 14:44 You're able to funnel this one text to 24 different rooms 14:48 if you want to. 14:50 Now what's the questions room? 14:52 All right. 14:54 Okay, so there's the questions room. 14:57 The questions room, and I think we may have... 14:59 I don't know if we talked about this before, 15:00 but the questions room is very profound, 15:04 and it is very simple. 15:05 Okay. 15:06 The questions room, you're basically learning 15:08 to ask the text questions. 15:11 Most of us read the Bible, 15:13 and the only question we ask when we get to a text 15:15 is what does this mean? 15:17 Answer, I don't know. 15:19 And we keep moving. 15:21 Right? That's not we want to do. 15:25 We want to learn how to investigate the text. 15:28 So I challenge my students when you get to a verse, 15:32 you want to try to ask that verse 15:34 as many questions as possible. 15:36 So I've challenged my students to try to come up with 50 15:39 to 100 questions on any given text. 15:43 Okay, so let me reverse this little quiz thing here. 15:49 So Jesus wept, 15:53 give me some questions for Jesus wept. 15:56 All right. 15:57 So I'm gonna share a story with you. 15:59 Okay. 16:00 I'm not even gonna give you the questions. 16:02 Let me just share a story. 16:04 Got you. 16:05 Now you brought this up just randomly? 16:07 Yes. 16:08 Okay. 16:09 When I first... 16:11 This is about 21 years ago. 16:17 I met a guy who asked me, 16:21 he wanted to know how to study the Bible. 16:23 So the first principle that I ever applied 16:26 was a question principle. 16:27 At that time, I wasn't calling it the "question room." 16:29 I just said, "Hey, 16:31 one of the key things you want to do 16:32 is ask the text questions. 16:34 So I'm gonna give you an assignment. 16:36 And your assignment is to take 16:41 the shortest text in the Bible." 16:43 Oh, wow! 16:44 Jesus wept. 16:47 I want you to ask that text as many questions as... 16:52 I'm just laughing that you brought that up. 16:54 Yeah, yeah. 16:56 Ask as many questions as you can. 16:58 Wow! 17:00 This brother, this brother... 17:02 I'm not gonna mention his name. 17:03 But he's... 17:05 Now he's known in Adventist circles. 17:09 Yeah. 17:10 This brother came up 17:12 with three pages of questions... 17:16 For Jesus wept? 17:17 From Jesus wept. 17:19 Wow! 17:20 Yeah, why was He weeping? 17:22 Who was He weeping for? 17:23 And he just kept going, kept going. 17:25 Yeah. 17:26 What does it mean to me? 17:28 Why does one weep? 17:30 I mean, he just kept. 17:32 And what happened is one question would 17:33 kind of lead to another question. 17:35 Yeah. 17:36 It'll kind of lead to another question, 17:37 it'll lead to another question. 17:39 So when you learn... 17:40 Now when I challenge my students, 17:42 and I'm pushing them, I'm like, "Ask more." 17:44 More? Yes, ask more. 17:46 And they'll get to like 50 or 60 questions. 17:50 And then I say to them, 17:51 "Now the questions you're asking, 17:55 you were only asking them in the first dimension." 17:59 Wow. 18:01 Wow. 18:03 Wow. 18:04 And there's five dimensions. 18:06 So... 18:07 And there are five dimensions. 18:09 Yes, yes. 18:10 So now you can ask five times 18:14 as many of the questions that you... 18:16 You thought 50 was like, "Whoa, that's a lot." 18:19 Now I want you to ask that text questions now 18:22 in the second dimension, now in the third dimension, 18:25 now in the fourth dimension, now in the fifth dimension, 18:28 so that's just the question room. 18:31 Okay. 18:32 So let's go to one of the rooms is the memory room. 18:35 Okay. 18:37 And that's where we are right now, all right? 18:38 Got you. 18:39 So I kind of diverge a little bit, 18:41 but I'm coming back to the memory room. 18:42 Okay. 18:44 Let me mention this as well. 18:46 So the photo-theology palace has six floors. 18:53 Okay? 18:55 Each floor, these six floors, 18:58 the 24 rooms are divided among these six floors. 19:02 Okay. 19:04 The first floor that's where the memory room is. 19:11 And the reason why this is important 19:12 to understand is because you have to have a deck 19:16 of cards if you're gonna play the game. 19:21 Come on, now... 19:22 You don't have... 19:24 Do you know what I'm saying? 19:25 Yeah. 19:26 If you don't have the stories, right, 19:28 at a foundational level if you don't have the story... 19:31 So one of my favorite ones, you know, 19:34 playing the concentration game. 19:35 Yeah. 19:37 Moses goes on top of the mountain, he stretches. 19:39 I've shared this with you before many times on... 19:42 He stretches out his hands. 19:43 Yeah. 19:45 When his hands are lifted up, there's victory, 19:47 when they come down, no victory. 19:49 His hands go up, they begin to get tired. 19:51 Aaron stands on one side, her stands on the other side. 19:54 They're holding up his hands. 19:56 That is a picture. 19:58 That's a match. 19:59 Yeah. 20:01 Right? We flip that card. 20:03 How does it start remind me of Jesus? 20:04 Oh, Jesus on the cross. 20:07 His hands extended 20:08 with two thieves on either side of Him. 20:11 Yeah. 20:12 It's the sinner that held his hands up, not the nails. 20:15 Wow! 20:16 Okay. Yeah, yeah. 20:17 In order me to have made that connection, 20:19 I would have had to have that picture on ground level. 20:23 You know what I'm saying? 20:25 Yeah. 20:26 So the first floor is all about furnishing your palace. 20:33 Furnishing. Okay. 20:34 If you don't have stories popped in your mind, right? 20:36 If you don't have like, 20:37 and I say how are you gonna get these stories? 20:39 Read the Bible. 20:40 Yeah. 20:42 Listen to your story hour, like whatever you need to do. 20:44 Watch Dare to Dreams. 20:45 Get stories... 20:47 That's right. 20:48 Absolutely. 20:50 You might not understand the stories. 20:52 You know, Samson and David... 20:53 I mean, Samson... I'm sorry. 20:56 David and Goliath, you know, Samson, Elijah, 21:01 what are these stories about? 21:02 I may not understand it, just get it. 21:04 When you moving into a house, 21:06 you kind of have stuff all over, right? 21:08 Yeah. Nothing's organized. 21:10 First level, just get the stories in there. 21:15 Right? 21:16 So that's one of the reasons why I take people 21:18 through this memory challenge. 21:19 Okay. 21:20 So now let's get to the memory challenge. 21:22 In the memory challenge what we want to do 21:25 is we want to learn how to memorize 21:27 the Bible 24 chapters at a time. 21:33 Oh, wow! 21:34 Okay, let me... Let me break that down. 21:36 Twenty-four chapters at a time? 21:37 Yeah. 21:38 So, Jason, you might know this. 21:40 Have you heard the term 24 frames per second? 21:43 Oh, yeah. 21:45 Yeah. Yeah. 21:46 The 24 frames per second means that when you're watching 21:49 a movie, right, 21:50 your mind is actually processing 21:53 24 still images every second. 21:59 Those 24 images make up one motion. 22:04 Right? 22:05 Yeah. 22:06 That's the motion, right? 22:08 So 24... 22:09 Like take a book, a coloring book, 22:10 you draw pictures, right? 22:12 And then you start flipping and the picture starts moving. 22:15 Yes. 22:16 Twenty four frames a second. 22:17 That's what's happening. 22:19 So what I'm suggesting is that 22:22 if we take 24 chapters at a time... 22:29 Right?
