teaching away uh 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,920 in different places people back from New 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,440 Jersey from New from New England from 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,480 traveling wonderful uh we're continuing 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,480 today uh in what will be a three-part 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,279 series today is the second one on uh 9 00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:29,359 discernment really is the title uh from 10 00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:31,439 Yeshua's temptations in the wilderness 11 00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:35,120 in Matthew chapter 4 okay and uh the 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,239 title of the series is discernment 13 00:00:37,239 --> 00:00:40,000 equals three things if you remember 14 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,640 first one is identity knowing who you 15 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,520 are in God and the second one is of 16 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,840 course the word the voice of God 17 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,559 understanding and discerning when is God 18 00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:55,920 speaking and how and of course obeying 19 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,079 obeying that that word and then the 20 00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:00,600 third thing is the supernatural 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,719 discerning what's happening in the 22 00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:04,320 spirit in the spiritual realm in the 23 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:06,479 supernatural realm so we talked last 24 00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:08,240 time about I'm just going to do a really 25 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,760 quick review like in a minute if you 26 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,400 remember out of the first 27 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,880 temptation Yeshua is finished 40 days of 28 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,960 fasting after he was baptized after he 29 00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:18,560 heard the voice of the father say "This 30 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,799 is my son." 40 days are finished it's 31 00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:23,200 time to eat he's hungry and he hears a 32 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,720 voice and you remember I said uh 33 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,439 that went on is that all right 34 00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:33,560 Sh i'll just hold 35 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,240 on that's a good reminder to turn off 36 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,040 phones right uh and he we said that um 37 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,280 Yeshua was tempted and tested it's the 38 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,000 same word just like we are remember that 39 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,840 picture I showed you it's not like the 40 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,399 devil came to him in a red suit with 41 00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:52,640 smoke coming out of his nose and talking 42 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,360 like the devil okay because that doesn't 43 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,600 require a great deal of discernment most 44 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,119 5-year-olds who have watched enough 45 00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:01,840 cartoons can discern that that's the bad 46 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,360 guy okay he came he he I believe he came 47 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,200 the devil came to him just as he comes 48 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,679 to us which is through the spirit 49 00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:12,720 through our soul into our mind okay so 50 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,280 that he heard a voice not like a radio 51 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,280 voice in his head but in his mind that 52 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,640 said if you're really the son of God 53 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:22,879 speak to this stone and turn it into 54 00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:24,720 bread right and we remember the test 55 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,319 he's got to go through everything that 56 00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:28,959 Israel and Moses went through 40 days in 57 00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:30,640 the wilderness for him is equal to the 58 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,000 40 years of Israel in the wilderness um 59 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,920 he's going to go through tests just like 60 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:37,680 Moses did just like the people of Israel 61 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,239 did if you are the son of God this voice 62 00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:42,800 is like you have to prove it remember we 63 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,319 talked about ego if you there's 64 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,239 something of the ego in there i've got 65 00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:47,920 to prove who I am as the son of God wait 66 00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:49,760 a minute i just heard 40 days before the 67 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,760 father said it i don't have to do 68 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,640 anything do I uh holy scripture we 69 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:57,200 talked about how Yeshua learned for 30 70 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,200 years and we don't he's just 30 years of 71 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680 his life is we get one or two verses a 72 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,120 summary that's it he lived a normal life 73 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,400 no Harry Potter no magic no supernatural 74 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,800 moving things nothing just a good Jewish 75 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,280 boy sinless who learned the Torah and 76 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,800 the word of God and memorized the whole 77 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,239 thing so that when this time came the 78 00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:19,920 Holy Spirit I see the Holy Spirit is 79 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:21,200 kind of like a browser you know it's 80 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,879 like your internet browser right there's 81 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:24,560 all this material out there and browser 82 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,840 just goes and finds it and puts it 83 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,920 together and connects things that's what 84 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:29,840 the Holy Spirit does but if you don't 85 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,360 have the scriptures if you haven't done 86 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,239 the work of filling up your datab bank 87 00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:35,840 with the scriptures the Holy Spirit 88 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,159 doesn't have much to work with okay and 89 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,080 I told you my story how when I was first 90 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,680 my first year as a believer when I 91 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,519 didn't have much scripture because I 92 00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:45,040 hadn't grown up with it and I didn't you 93 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,680 know I didn't uh learn it i had to have 94 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,000 a lot of supernatural communication from 95 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,040 God directly but then he said go and 96 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,440 learn the scriptures and things changed 97 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,599 okay so that's something else we learned 98 00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,319 from that first uh first temptation uh 99 00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,280 we learned about how waiting on God that 100 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,640 the speech of God is not most of the 101 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,360 time we don't hear God speaking we see 102 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,879 the result of his 103 00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:17,280 speech when God God said let there be 104 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:20,799 light nobody was there to hear that and 105 00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:22,639 he he had to tell Moses thousands of 106 00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:24,560 years later on Mount Si that's how it 107 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,280 happened right but the proof that God 108 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:32,000 spoke is there was light right the proof 109 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,759 of God providing or speaking mana to the 110 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,919 people of Israel in this Passover season 111 00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:40,000 when they're on their way out of Egypt 112 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,280 uh is nobody heard God say or nobody got 113 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:44,880 a word or Moses didn't have to command 114 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440 the mana to come down from heaven god 115 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,479 apparently spoke and there it was a new 116 00:04:49,479 --> 00:04:52,320 thing uh so we have to wait on God 117 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,759 learning to wait on God to change our s 118 00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:56,880 praying waiting for God to change 119 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,639 circumstances and then he's that's how 120 00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:02,080 he speaks most of the time um then we 121 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,280 learned about how also the the 122 00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:06,479 supernatural Yeshua knew from his 123 00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:08,160 reading of scripture and also from the 124 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,919 character of God that there's no 125 00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:11,840 examples of people in the scriptures 126 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:13,600 doing supernatural things just for 127 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,440 themselves just for fun just to prove it 128 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,199 just cuz they're hungry that all of 129 00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,840 Yeshua's signs to feed people were all 130 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:23,360 in ser in ministry signs that he gave to 131 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,280 help others okay um so we learn we just 132 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:28,639 we're going through process of 133 00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:31,680 discernment just like he does and it's 134 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,240 all about God testing what's in our 135 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,080 heart and that's where Yeshua finishes 136 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,720 with Deuteronomy 8:3 remember he humbled 137 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,039 you and let you be hungry and fed you 138 00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:43,680 with mana which you did not know nor did 139 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,759 your fathers know this is a new stage in 140 00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:49,440 in history at the Exodus okay and at new 141 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,600 stages in history God does supernatural 142 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:57,280 things but he does them right um that he 143 00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,759 might make you understand that man does 144 00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,960 not live by bread alone but man lives by 145 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,360 everything that proceeds out of the 146 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,919 mouth of the Lord and Yeshua's 147 00:06:06,919 --> 00:06:08,520 conclusion 148 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,199 was if God wants to provide supernatural 149 00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:16,400 food for me he would do that and speak 150 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,240 it 151 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,720 i don't see it it hasn't happened god 152 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,639 has not spoken i'm going to walk a few 153 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:27,280 kilometers into the nearest village i'm 154 00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:29,600 hungry i finish my fast i'll ask for 155 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,479 some bread i'll 156 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,759 say I'll pray and thank God for the 157 00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:38,400 miraculous bread that we eat every day 158 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,759 and I'll be a normal human being okay 159 00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:44,680 that's last time now with that 160 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,319 background okay we come to the second 161 00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:49,360 temptation and this is where it gets 162 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,440 really I mean this was I mean he's 163 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,919 tested at a level that none of us are 164 00:06:55,919 --> 00:06:59,120 ever going to be tested okay at that 165 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,759 level there's similarities but this is 166 00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:03,000 really 167 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,599 really 168 00:07:04,599 --> 00:07:08,240 nasty and clever what the devil does by 169 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,599 the way remember we talked about this 170 00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:12,240 last time we know from the beginning the 171 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,520 first verse of chapter 4 Matthew tells 172 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,520 us that it's the devil okay we know but 173 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,039 the whole point of the testing is that 174 00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:23,039 Yeshua doesn't know at the beginning 175 00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:26,639 he's in a process of discernment as the 176 00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:28,400 son of God as our high priest he has to 177 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,000 go through everything that we that we go 178 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,400 through uh so here we are the next 179 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,400 temptation the second one that's what 180 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,240 the focus of today's message is is going 181 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,960 to be verses 5-7 182 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,720 then the devil took him there again we 183 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,599 know the devil took 184 00:07:42,599 --> 00:07:46,160 him into the holy city and had him stand 185 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,360 on the pinnacle of the temple yeshua 186 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,479 said to him "Oh I'm sorry i I chopped 187 00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:56,080 off that in my copy paste." And he hears 188 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,599 the v the in his mind the verses quoted 189 00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:02,199 from Psalm 91 11 and 190 00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:05,039 12 cast yourself down the angels will 191 00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:06,319 gather you in their hand they'll save 192 00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:09,120 you okay jesus said to him "On the other 193 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,039 hand it is written you shall not put the 194 00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:13,319 Lord God your God to the 195 00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,319 test." 196 00:08:16,919 --> 00:08:20,639 Wow we don't know exactly what happened 197 00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:22,879 but remember Yeshua is somewhere down 198 00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:25,280 there towards Jericho he's pretty far 199 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,680 from Jerusalem he's in the Judean 200 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,840 wilderness okay suddenly he's at the top 201 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,919 of the temple right over there 202 00:08:35,919 -->

destiny is 248 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,920 Jerusalem the temple and supernatural 249 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,760 things are going to happen there all 250 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,360 right this is really a big test okay as 251 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,279 we last time we went through said okay 252 00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:01,040 as Yeshua would knows the scripture the 253 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,959 Holy Spirit helping him he saw what 254 00:11:02,959 --> 00:11:05,279 Moses did at MBA with the rock and he 255 00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:07,200 instead of speaking to it he whacked at 256 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,800 him in the book of Numbers and he got 257 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,279 angry we talked about Elijah and the 258 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,760 ravens you remember uh supplying him 259 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,160 with supernatural food bread and and 260 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,240 meat morning and evening things that 261 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,600 happened supernaturally by way of 262 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,600 provision that neither Moses or Elijah 263 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,120 had to command to happen god did it 264 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,600 right we think okay if the Holy Spirit 265 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,680 is helping Yeshua go through the spir 266 00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:35,200 sort of the the Tanakh the Old Testament 267 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,200 to tell okay what about this what about 268 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,279 is there any precedent for 269 00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:44,160 people testing God in this way

00:11:59,040 God to just send the angels and save 276 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,079 them no I don't i mean it's it's hard to 277 00:12:02,079 --> 00:12:04,640 kind of find a reference for that that's 278 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,000 part that's one thing is you this is 279 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000 not this is not biblical this is not 280 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,839 what Moses did this is not what Elijah 281 00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:14,320 did this is not what David did okay and 282 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,959 he then he answers with this verse from 283 00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:20,880 Deuteronomy 6 and I want us to go there 284 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,240 if you have the Bible remember we've 285 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,880 talked so much also when I was teaching 286 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,200 Romans 9:101 about when the when there's 287 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,680 these quotes in the New Testament it's 288 00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:32,680 just one verse you got

mixed up with the prophetic which is a 479 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,480 supernatural thing uh and especially 480 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,120 people who are coming from a less 481 00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:57,120 charismatic background who aren't used 482 00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,559 to it and then they go to some meeting 483 00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:02,559 where there's a prophet or a prophetic 484 00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:04,559 person maybe it's their first time and 485 00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:07,799 the person points them out and says 486 00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:10,799 Um I s I see you when

No that people with a little intuition a 527 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,640 little prophetic sort of knowledge can 528 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,080 read sometimes what's happening in the 529 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,159 soul realm that's how I understand it 530 00:22:56,159 --> 00:22:58,799 all right especially if this is why in a 531 00:22:58,799 --> 00:23:00,559 lot of houses of prayer and prophetic 532 00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:02,400 places that one of the things they say 533 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,400 is when you people come you don't know 534 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,520 them no prophesying about or no words of 535 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,000 knowledge about with women especially 536 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,200 about having children or about marriage 537 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,080 with men as single men and women why 538 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,440 because the people who have a woman who 539 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,080 is wanting for years can't get pregnant 540 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,000 can't have a child there's a deep deep 541 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,200 soul cry the prayer that's been going on 542 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,799 all for for years in that woman's soul 543 00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:33,840 like Hana okay and if you're just a 544 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,840 little you don't need a lot of training 545 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,440 okay you can be intrigued believer 546 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,840 unbeliever you can pick you can you can 547 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,200 sense that okay so uh we have to be 548 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,000 careful okay about how what what kind of 549 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,679 what we do with when people have that 550 00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:52,320 kind of knowledge about us so they see 551 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,840 something it can be a prophetic word 552 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,840 from God it can how do we know we have 553 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,240 to discern it you have to listen to it 554 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:03,840 record it write it down um I Uh I always 555 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,400 when I teach on this on on the prophetic 556 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,919 maybe the most important scripture in 557 00:24:07,919 --> 00:24:09,280 all of of the New Testament is 558 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,679 Revelation 19:10 559 00:24:11,679 --> 00:24:14,640 uh where John has there's this huge 560 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,480 angel who's been showing him incredible 561 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,039 things and then it says I John fell at 562 00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:21,679 his feet to worship him and he said to 563 00:24:21,679 --> 00:24:23,760 me don't do that I'm a fellow servant of 564 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,120 yours and your brethren who hold the 565 00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:28,520 testimony of Jesus worship God for the 566 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,320 testimony of Jesus is The spirit of 567 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,799 prophecy that means that whatever 568 00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:40,080 prophetic word or insight someone brings 569 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,039 to you if it if what they do with it the 570 00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:45,120 application of it I saw this I see your 571 00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:47,600 accident age five and the trauma it went 572 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,360 through and they start preaching healing 573 00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:51,039 in Jesus's name according to the 574 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:52,760 testimony of the 575 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,840 gospel of who Jesus is what he did what 576 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,760 he's doing what he does for us in our 577 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,760 lives according to the word of God then 578 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,559 it's kosher then it's from God okay 579 00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:06,640 that's how you judge it if what they 580 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,120 that prophetic knowledge comes or or 581 00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:10,559 that prophetic insight and then what 582 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:11,720 they do with it 583 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,320 is something speaks something that maybe 584 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,799 is bringing some comfort to you but it's 585 00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:19,919 not according to the testimony of Yeshua 586 00:25:19,919 --> 00:25:23,279 meaning it's a kind of comfort that says 587 00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:25,720 you don't have to 588 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,840 suffer that's not the testimony of 589 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,760 Yeshua 590 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,880 yeshua

00:25:37,279 what we call the prosperity gospel you 594 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:39,520 know what I'm talking about where a lot 595 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,520 of the messages God did he did it all 596 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,559 now you can just enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy 597 00:25:44,559 --> 00:25:47,720 all the blessings without any 598 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,159 suffering that's not the testimony of 599 00:25:50,159 --> 00:25:52,640 Yeshua that's not a proper spirit a 600 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:53,760 prophetic spirit you know what I'm 601 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,840 talking about okay so that's just one of 602 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,679 the one of the examples you think of 603 00:25:57,679 --> 00:26:02,240 where there can be something that is 604 00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:03,799 supernatural 605 00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:07,600 and that's okay someone sees something 606 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,159 but what the application what the the 607 00:26:10,159 --> 00:26:12,559 message is is something you have to 608 00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:15,919 discern and be careful of okay that's 609 00:26:15,919 --> 00:26:18,000 the first lesson the second one is 610 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,080 Jerusalem 611 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,880 syndrome remember Yeshua knows he he's 612 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,000 grow he's read the scriptures 40 days 613 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,840 before he's declared the son of God he 614 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,600 hears that he knows as the Messiah he's 615 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,760 going to be doing things for a few years 616 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,320 he maybe doesn't know exactly how long 617 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,640 but it's all going to end up here in 618 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,600 Jerusalem and at or near the temple okay 619 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,559 it has to because Jerusalem is Jerusalem 620 00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:49,279 it's Zion the promises of God there's so 621 00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:51,120 much in scripture and we love preaching 622 00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:52,480 about it and sharing about it here we 623 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,960 are in Jerusalem high up over Jerusalem 624 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,799 and we will share that with the world 625 00:26:56,799 --> 00:26:59,360 but you know there's there's a flip side 626 00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:01,200 it can also be a little bit dangerous it 627 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,039 can be like a drug actually in Zechariah 628 00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:04,840 it says in the end of days he will make 629 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,600 Jerusalem a cup of trembling like a drug 630 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,320 to the nations okay a rock of rock of 631 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,679 stumbling as well 632 00:27:12,679 --> 00:27:16,400 um that uh you know here in Jerusalem 633 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,360 we've got to be careful uh cuz it can it 634 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:20,960 can do some weird things have you ever 635 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,159 heard there's actually a 636 00:27:23,159 --> 00:27:25,520 semi-csychotic experience that they call 637 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,039 Jerusalem syndrome it's on the 638 00:27:27,039 --> 00:27:28,960 psychological books i did a little 639 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,080 research on it it was kind of 640 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,320 interesting there's the people who come 641 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,480 who already have been diagnosed with 642 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:35,640 some kind of 643 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,240 psychotic thing and then they just it 644 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,840 kind of gets worse that's we're not 645 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:40,880 talking about that we're talking about 646 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,440 regular normal people they said about 647 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,080 it's like 50/50 between Jews and non- 648 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,120 messianic Jews and Christians um who 649 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,320 come here usually as part of a group 650 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,799 okay and they actually who we have tour 651 00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:56,240 guide here too you've been to tour

guides know what to look 655 00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:03,279 for okay because the same it's like 656 00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:05,760 clockwork it's the same thing happens 657 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,039 yeah it's a guest that's okay um is a 658 00:28:09,039 --> 00:28:10,559 person they're in a group and the person 659 00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:12,240 starts to get a little anxious a little 660 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,440 start to act a little differently and 661 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,880 then they want to go separate they want 662 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,799 to go I've got to go pray i've got to go 663 00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:19,440 do my thing right that's the first sign 664 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,520 okay I I need to the group's going I I 665 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,520 have to do something else right and then 666 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,960 it h then they the people become uh kind 667 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,679 of obsessed with purity and cleanliness 668 00:28:29,679 --> 00:28:30,960 they start cutting their nails and 669 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,039 washing and showering all the time and 670 00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:36,480 then they take the bed sheets from their 671 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,799 hotel and they make some kind of white 672 00:28:39,799 --> 00:28:42,159 robe and again nobody's it's not like 673 00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:43,679 they're watching it on YouTube and you 674 00:28:43,679 --> 00:28:45,919 know someone you know oh this is how you 675 00:28:45,919 --> 00:28:48,799 do it it's been happening for years few 676 00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:50,720 people I don't know how many every year 677 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,559 right and they get and then they begin 678 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:54,799 to have delusions that they're a 679 00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:58,279 biblical character right john the 680 00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:00,720 Baptist Virgin Mary is a big one you 681 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,279 know my son 682 00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:04,960 Jesus and it usually happens to single 683 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,679 it was interesting said 90 something% 684 00:29:07,679 --> 00:29:10,159 it's single men or women i used to think 685 00:29:10,159 --> 00:29:11,520 it was mostly women but actually the 686 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,279 stat says no it's evenly divided 687 00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:17,120 um by the way you know it's interesting 688 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,279 it happens mostly to single single 689 00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:23,760 people you know in kidic Judaism they 690 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,919 have a kind of rule that is you're not 691 00:29:25,919 --> 00:29:27,760 allowed to study Cabala which is 692 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,679 mystical Judaism until you're married 693 00:29:29,679 --> 00:29:31,679 and have one kid at least one kid then 694 00:29:31,679 --> 00:29:34,880 of course they have 10 more right but 695 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,200 you know the the thinking is if you're 696 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,880 you know you've got to be rooted 697 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,720 something about marriage family children 698 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,080 keeps you rooted in this world before 699 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,799 you go and start studying the mystical 700 00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:48,799 charismatic stuff right uh so anyway 701 00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:50,240 that's what happened Jerusalem syndrome 702 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,679 and then the people begin to have these 703 00:29:51,679 --> 00:29:53,840 weird experiences and usually it's 704 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,159 pretty they you know they take them away 705 00:29:56,159 --> 00:29:58,279 they don't 706 00:29:58,279 --> 00:30:00,960 there's a psychiatric hospital here for 707 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,200 a day just give them a little tranquil 708 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,480 little drug and they send them home and 709 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,240 they're fine and they come out of it 710 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,760 they're not it's not like a but it 711 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,200 happens now I'm not suggesting that's 712 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,399 happening to any of them but we have to 713 00:30:12,399 --> 00:30:13,760 be careful in the end you know as things 714 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,600 go on and here in our group people we 715 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,360 have all kinds of people who come here 716 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,279 you You know and I just say the people 717 00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:20,320 out there if you're thinking of coming 718 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,799 to Jerusalem if you're alone and as this 719 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:24,320 is especially if you're alone and some 720 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,640 God is telling me to go and intercede it 721 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,039 may be but make sure you've got a group 722 00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:30,799 your pastors leader people are blessing 723 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:32,799 you people are praying for you don't 724 00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:35,039 come alone you know come with a group 725 00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:37,840 cuz this is the universal center of 726 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,080 spiritual warfare here and weird things 727 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,520 can happen and we don't want them to 728 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,760 happen to happen to anybody but there's 729 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,320 a good Jerusalem syndrome and that is 730 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,399 we're here we believe in God's promises 731 00:30:48,399 --> 00:30:50,320 to Zion in Jerusalem and we're doing 732 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,799 everything we can to hasten his coming 733 00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:54,720 right over there to the Mount of Olives 734 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,720 hallelujah and he's going to be in 735 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,640 dressed in white whiter than the bed 736 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,000 sheets of any hotel hallelujah all right 737 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,240 shining like the sun 738 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,679 amen um that's the the second one the 739 00:31:07,679 --> 00:31:09,640 third lesson here from this this 740 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,000 temptation is rightly understanding the 741 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,960 word of God in context 742 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,039 now if anybody's been to seminary in 743 00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:21,840 these modern times you learn that 744 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,720 historical grammatical contextual 745 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,559 interpretation of scripture in other 746 00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:28,000 words you have to understand scripture 747 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,799 in its original context as best we can 748 00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:32,960 the languages the culture the 749 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,080 archaeology all that kind of stuff 750 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,399 okay it's not something new it's what 751 00:31:38,399 --> 00:31:42,559 Yeshua did right here with Psalm 91 or 752 00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:44,640 what the Holy Spirit helped him to do 753 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,679 with Psalm 91 okay so let's look at the 754 00:31:47,679 --> 00:31:50,799 kind remember Psalm 91 11 and 12 that 755 00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:54,640 the devil quotes to him in his mind that 756 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,559 you know just the angels are going to 757 00:31:56,559 --> 00:31:59,840 catch you okay and he quotes accurately 758 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,240 the 759 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,279 scripture here are the first two verses 760 00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:06,720 of Psalm 91 when by the way in Hebrew in 761 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,679 those times they didn't have numbers on 762 00:32:09,679 --> 00:32:11,600 the on the Bible there were no chapter 763 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,240 verse numbers they recognized the Psalms 764 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,880 by usually by their first line okay that 765 00:32:16,880 -->
