WEBVTT

00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:04.440
we're talking today about uh discernment

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.600
from the story of yeshua's Jesus's

00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:09.800
Temptations or testing it's really the

00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.880
same word both in in Hebrew and Greek in

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:15.679
the wilderness after his baptism very

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:19.760
very important story and very very uh

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:24.279
Rich story in how we are tested just

00:00:24.279 --> 00:00:26.439
like he was tested okay or he was tested

00:00:26.439 --> 00:00:30.199
just like we're we're tested um and want

00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:31.840
us just to think before before we dive

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:35.559
into Matthew chapter 4 about what was

00:00:35.559 --> 00:00:38.399
happening uh in the

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.039
gospels uh right before this right

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.079
before this in Matthew and and Luke you

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.000
have the story of of yeshua's Life his

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.640
young life and you think about it 30

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.120
years is basically compacted into a few

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:56.079
verses all right um and we don't know a

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.239
lot about that life uh Luke 2:40 it

00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:02.840
talks after Yeshua was dedicated at the

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.519
temple after his bar mitzvah there it

00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.320
says the child continued to grow and

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:10.759
become strong increasing in wisdom and

00:01:10.759 --> 00:01:14.080
the grace of God was upon him uh that's

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:16.680
about as much we know about his 30 years

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.720
if you can imagine that of his life

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:20.920
growing up there in Nazareth and it's

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:22.920
important to realize that you know this

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:27.439
is not Harry Potter okay Yeshua was not

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.640
some Supernatural kid growing up that he

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.759
would do all kinds of magic things and

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:35.880
had powers he didn't have that at all

00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:38.280
okay all that begins in at the end of

00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.000
chapter Matthew 3 and 4 with his baptism

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.040
but so what was his life he grew up as a

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.079
normal Jewish kid up there in Nazareth

00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:48.119
what did that

00:01:48.119 --> 00:01:51.399
mean he was a he just helped his parents

00:01:51.399 --> 00:01:54.600
he went to school and he learned the

00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:57.280
word of God the Torah okay and the

00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.159
prophets remember they didn't have all

00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.200
kinds of other lure and TV and movies

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:03.799
and blah blah blah and blah blah blah

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.399
like we have all right they basically

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:09.160
had the Scrolls of the Torah and the

00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:11.160
prophets at the synagogue that's where

00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:13.120
young men especially went to learn how

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.319
to read and write and they learned and

00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.879
memorized huge amounts of scripture

00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:19.319
that's that's what they that was their

00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.560
TV their internet their L see fruit

00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.760
their literature okay and he grew up and

00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:30.640
he was a strong increasing in wisdom and

00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:33.239
the grace of God was upon him no

00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:36.840
magic no Supernatural we don't know what

00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.840
his Consciousness was of his divinity or

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.879
anything like that we don't know it

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.400
doesn't tell us and then we come and do

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.239
we have the uh yeah um uh you can go

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:49.560
back to the first picture at the

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:50.920
beginning I just want you to see that

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:52.360
picture before we miss it you see that

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.080
picture okay this is how some a lot of

00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:56.720
people imagine what happens in this

00:02:56.720 --> 00:02:59.239
temptation like it's this battle between

00:02:59.239 --> 00:03:02.680
Yeshua and and this creature uh who

00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.280
looks like Satan right just I want to

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:06.920
keep that in your mind as we go forward

00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:08.120
because what I'm want to tell you is

00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.480
that's exactly what it's not like okay

00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:13.879
because any 5-year-old can discern that

00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.280
that's Satan all right you know that

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.480
right if if if some creature uh you know

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:23.319
with a red suit and a pitchfork and

00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.799
horns shows up with smoke coming out of

00:03:25.799 --> 00:03:27.879
his mouth and ears and starts get

00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.680
telling you something that's not from

00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.560
God that's Satan and my nine-year-old my

00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:35.120
five-year-old when he was five could

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.879
figure that out all right it's like

00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.319
Darth Vader you know uh in the movies

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:42.760
we're so accustomed to it you know

00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:44.879
little music that for boing

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.280
music and then some black creature who

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.560
speaking in a dark voice is the oh

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:51.599
that's the you don't even have to think

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.599
about it that's the evil that's the evil

00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.400
one the bad guys right we're going to

00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.640
see what happens in in Yeshua in these

00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:02.280
Temptations is much more complex and

00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.519
much more similar to what we go through

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:08.239
with thoughts in our mind okay so I just

00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:09.640
want you to keep that picture in mind

00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:12.239
that's what it's not like so that's Luke

00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:17.040
2 240 then he grows up and quickly the

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.440
story moves to this baptism God leads

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:24.720
him to John's Ministry to John's baptism

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.320
he goes out there to the Jordan River

00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:29.759
and it says in Matthew 3:16-17

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.919
after being baptized Jesus came up

00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:34.039
immediately from the water and behold

00:04:34.039 --> 00:04:35.720
the heavens were open and he saw the

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.240
spirit of God descending as a dove and

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.000
Lighting on him and behold a voice out

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.440
of the heaven said this is my beloved

00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:49.919
Son in whom I am well pleased wow okay

00:04:49.919 --> 00:04:52.120
so he has just

00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:56.360
now um experiened something which I I

00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.840
think if there's any parallel in our

00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:01.479
lives he's basically born again and

00:05:01.479 --> 00:05:05.280
baptized in the holy spirit all at once

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:06.919
but actually Yeshua didn't need to be

00:05:06.919 --> 00:05:08.720
born again because his Spirit was not

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.919
defiled like ours is okay but

00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:12.240
everything's already just happens in

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:17.800
this moment and you see the Triune God

00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:23.000
appearing right there for a few seconds

00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.280
in the at the Jordan River there is

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:27.720
Yeshua the son the Holy Spirit

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.280
descending on him like a dove and the

00:05:30.280 --> 00:05:33.560
audible voice of the father speaking

00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.000
this is my beloved Son in whom I will

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.280
pleas he's heard the voice the audible

00:05:38.280 --> 00:05:40.919
voice of the father about his sunship

00:05:40.919 --> 00:05:42.680
okay that's the background to what's

00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.000
happening and

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.039
uh we're uh this whole question of

00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:51.080
discernment I said in the title of the

00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:52.919
message is is is this it's kind of long

00:05:52.919 --> 00:05:55.280
you know I like long title sometimes

00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:59.800
discernment equals identity

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:04.319
The Voice slw word of God and the

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.520
supernatural okay that when we're

00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:08.560
talking about Discerning the voice the

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.440
will of God in our lives it's those

00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:13.400
three things come together our identity

00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:14.400
who we

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:18.360
are the ability our knowledge to discern

00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.880
what is God's word what he's really

00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:24.120
saying and then third it has a lot to do

00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.639
with the Supernatural and understanding

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.199
the spiritual realm Okay so let's fast

00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.800
forward this is what this is the

00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.000
background how yeshua's grown up he's

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.720
got the word of God especially the Torah

00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.319
but a lot of the the Psalms and the

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.639
prophets it's all been he's studied it

00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.120
he's done what a normal human being a

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.120
normal Jew at his time would have have

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.639
to do memorizing verses learning it

00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.000
speaking it all the time and he's come

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.120
to this baptism he is now filled with

00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.639
the Holy Spirit a new channel

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.919
into the spiritual realm has now been

00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:06.960
opened okay and this is I want to just

00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:08.360
mention this before we get into the

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.120
Temptation This is what I understand

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.919
happens to us when we are born again and

00:07:14.919 --> 00:07:16.759
especially then when we experience a

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.440
baptism of the Holy Spirit we are there

00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:23.280
there's a we have a spirit man in us who

00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:26.800
is been transformed born again and now

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.039
there is this straight channel to God

00:07:30.039 --> 00:07:32.879
like the radio has been turned on okay

00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.520
but at the same time that channel

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:38.080
especially with if we're charismatics

00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:39.759
and Pentecostals with the B baptism of

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.280
the Holy Spirit at the same time you're

00:07:42.280 --> 00:07:45.800
open not just to the Holy Spirit you're

00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.639
open to the whole spiritual realm in a

00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.280
way that you weren't before unless you

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:53.759
were a real Satan worshipper which most

00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.479
people aren't okay and that's what

00:07:56.479 --> 00:07:58.560
happened now now Yeshua is open now the

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.400
spirit can lead him and guide him he can

00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:04.199
hear the voice of God and the first

00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.800
thing that that voice or the spirit does

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.360
is to lead him in the wilderness for 40

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.120
days of fasting and ultimately testing

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.720
okay and all this T you will see the

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.360
test is all about

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.039
identity the voice of God what is the

00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:24.440
word of God and the supernatural you

00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:28.440
with me all right and remember well

00:08:28.440 --> 00:08:30.000
let's read actually let's go to the next

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.560
next uh scripture which is uh starting

00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:35.000
in Matthew chapter

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.159
4 ma uh Matthew chapter 4 veres 1-4 then

00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:40.919
Yeshua was led up by the spirit Into the

00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.479
Wilderness to be tempted by the devil

00:08:43.479 --> 00:08:45.519
and after he had fasted 40 days and 40

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.920
nights he then became hungry and the

00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:51.279
tempter came and said to him if you are

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.360
the Son of God command that these Stones

00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.800
become bread but he answered and said it

00:08:57.800 --> 00:08:59.720
is written

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.800
man shall not live on bread alone but on

00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:04.600
every word that proceeds out of the

00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.480
mouth of God all right now a few things

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:07.839
before we get into

00:09:07.839 --> 00:09:12.880
this we know Matthew tells the story and

00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:14.920
he kind of reveals all the secrets he

00:09:14.920 --> 00:09:16.920
says he was led by the spirit to be

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:19.800
tempted by the devil okay and then verse

00:09:19.800 --> 00:09:22.399
three says and the tempter came to him

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.959
so we already know what's going on which

00:09:25.959 --> 00:09:27.519
if Matthew I said Matthew why did you

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:28.800
write it that way you could have kept

00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:31.079
the suspense you know and not let us

00:09:31.079 --> 00:09:34.040
because this is really important I

00:09:34.040 --> 00:09:36.800
believe that Yeshua didn't

00:09:36.800 --> 00:09:40.000
know okay that's why it's a

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.040
test okay if he knows if he was oh I'm

00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:46.160
going to be tempted by the devil oh

00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:50.680
that's the devil that's pretty easy okay

00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:53.440
uh let's just a few verses from Hebrews

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.839
all right to talk about this idea of how

00:09:55.839 --> 00:09:57.519
Yeshua was

00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.440
tested tempted in every way just like we

00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:04.200
are Hebrews 2:17 and 18 therefore he had

00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.200
to be made like his brethren in all

00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:07.920
things so that he might become a

00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:09.600
merciful and faithful high priest in

00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.440
things pertaining to God to make

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.839
propitiation for the sins of the people

00:10:13.839 --> 00:10:16.279
Verse 18 for since he himself was

00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.399
tempted in that which he has suffered he

00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.160
is able to come to the aid of those who

00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:23.839
are tempted Hebrews 4:15 for we do not

00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:25.800
have a high priest who cannot sympathize

00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:27.560
with our weakness but one who has been

00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:32.600
tempted in all all things just as we are

00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.639
okay tempted and tested is the same

00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.320
word you know brothers and sisters how

00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.279
are we tempted and tested by the

00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.959
devil does he show up in a voice in your

00:10:45.959 --> 00:10:47.680
mind like

00:10:47.680 --> 00:10:49.680
this like Darth

00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:51.920
Vader no that's too

00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:55.480
easy okay any 5-year-old can discern

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.680
that he shows up in your mind in the

00:10:58.680 --> 00:11:00.160
exact same

00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:03.200
thoughts that you get from the whole the

00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.920
same way because it's your SP there's a

00:11:04.920 --> 00:11:07.519
spirit your spirit man and everything

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.639
then from that Spirit comes through your

00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.200
soul into your mind okay there's no I

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:14.839
don't know about you there's no

00:11:14.839 --> 00:11:18.480
qualitative difference in the voice you

00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.000
understand me it's not like God's voice

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.240
is you know and the devil

00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.560
is no it's a

00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:30.480
thought so there is Yeshua just the like

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:35.000
us he's done 40 days of fasting I heard

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:36.920
from Asher in the teaching a few weeks

00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:39.920
ago of how everything in yeshua's life

00:11:39.920 --> 00:11:44.040
has a parallel has a type from the from

00:11:44.040 --> 00:11:47.200
the Torah from Moses and from the story

00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.639
of the people of Israel 40 years in the

00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:51.079
wilderness he's out in the wilderness

00:11:51.079 --> 00:11:55.000
right 40 years 40 days okay and he's now

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.000
going to go through something and it's

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.760
he apparently knew that he had to fast

00:11:59.760 --> 00:12:05.600
for 40 days okay now it's over the grace

00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.760
is gone for that fast and he's

00:12:07.760 --> 00:12:11.160
hungry okay now the question here the

00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:13.760
test is not if to

00:12:13.760 --> 00:12:20.839
eat or not the test is how why okay now

00:12:20.839 --> 00:12:22.680
in what would he do normally what would

00:12:22.680 --> 00:12:25.199
you do normally at the end of a fast do

00:12:25.199 --> 00:12:27.040
you go look for rocks to command them to

00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:28.839
turn into bread or to spaghetti or

00:12:28.839 --> 00:12:32.360
whatever you like or Mana no you would

00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:33.800
walk into the next

00:12:33.800 --> 00:12:38.720
Village buy food or and

00:12:39.560 --> 00:12:41.880
say you'd say your prayer and you'd eat

00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:44.440
like a normal human being that's what

00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.600
Yeshua would do and should do

00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:54.320
unless God has a different idea all

00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:57.800
right

00:12:57.839 --> 00:13:00.160
so he

00:13:00.160 --> 00:13:04.320
is at that place it's time to eat and he

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.040
I don't want to say he hears a voice

00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:09.399
because it's that's not the test by the

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.000
way if you're you're out there and

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.959
you're hearing voices like of different

00:13:13.959 --> 00:13:15.839
quality like different radio signals in

00:13:15.839 --> 00:13:18.560
your brain that is very serious that can

00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:20.600
mean a very serious psychological

00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.160
illness or demonic possession you need

00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:26.160
really serious help that's not how God

00:13:26.160 --> 00:13:29.240
speaks to you okay the holy spirit is is

00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.320
not it's not a radio inside your head

00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.160
okay he comes into our spirit it comes

00:13:35.160 --> 00:13:37.120
through our soul and our thought life

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.519
into our conscience and we learn learn

00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.639
over time as we grow to discern what is

00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:47.199
that the thoughts of God okay um so this

00:13:47.199 --> 00:13:49.639
is what happens to Yeshua now we have

00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:51.839
the the the the scripture is very very

00:13:51.839 --> 00:13:55.480
dense and short okay it doesn't say how

00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.320
long it was between the time that this

00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:59.720
thought came to him

00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:01.360
if you're the Son of God speak to the

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.600
stones to turn them into bread and the

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.079
time that he spoke and said it is

00:14:06.079 --> 00:14:09.560
written all right I believe that it was

00:14:09.560 --> 00:14:11.959
probably at least several minutes maybe

00:14:11.959 --> 00:14:14.920
even longer that Yeshua going through

00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:19.160
this test he had to discern and think

00:14:19.160 --> 00:14:22.680
and pray like we do and go through the

00:14:22.680 --> 00:14:24.720
scriptures and go through the stories

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.759
and and and and and sort of you know

00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:31.519
meditate on those words and and and gain

00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.160
discernment okay it wasn't just like

00:14:34.160 --> 00:14:36.519
that I that's what I think because he

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.199
went through he was tested just as we

00:14:38.199 --> 00:14:40.040
are all right so I want us to think

00:14:40.040 --> 00:14:46.040
about what he might have gone through uh

00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:48.360
as he was discerned his process of

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.240
discernment I hope it will help all of

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:56.800
us uh as well um first thing is the

00:14:56.800 --> 00:15:00.240
first words this if you are the Son of

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.560
God

00:15:01.560 --> 00:15:04.440
then if you're the Son of God oh wait a

00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.320
minute I just heard 40 days

00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:10.199
ago the audible voice of the father say

00:15:10.199 --> 00:15:11.279
this is my

00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.519
son I know who I

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.199
am

00:15:15.199 --> 00:15:18.160
okay um I believe Yeshua was very

00:15:18.160 --> 00:15:20.880
confident in who he was as the Son of

00:15:20.880 --> 00:15:24.959
God and here comes this these words that

00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:27.000
kind of say well you got to do something

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:29.279
to prove it

00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.040
in particular something

00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:33.920
Supernatural

00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:36.720
okay and I think he's PR wait a minute I

00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.720
don't is that is that right I mean

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:42.480
humanly speaking you if this was Harry

00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:44.319
Potter or this is me I'd be like he

00:15:44.319 --> 00:15:46.639
knows from growing up and reading the

00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.319
stories from Moses and Elijah and the

00:15:48.319 --> 00:15:50.319
prophets and about the Messiah that he's

00:15:50.319 --> 00:15:52.040
going to be doing signs and wonders he's

00:15:52.040 --> 00:15:53.480
going to be raising the dead and Healing

00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.480
The Sick and casting out demons but he's

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.920
never done any of that before if it were

00:15:57.920 --> 00:16:00.360
me I'd say well Nobody's around this

00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.160
good good time to practice you know

00:16:03.160 --> 00:16:05.440
let's take the Rocks bread bread oh now

00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:07.639
you got to do it 10 times I don't

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.839
know but no he did something said no no

00:16:10.839 --> 00:16:12.560
I'm not I don't not sure I need to do

00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:15.519
anything then I believe if I think if we

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.199
think what stories from the Bible that

00:16:18.199 --> 00:16:21.279
he had memorized would speak into this

00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.600
situation that would help him discern

00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.120
because remember you see with all of the

00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:28.920
Temptations his final answer is quote

00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:31.759
quing a Bible verse okay and as we'll

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.160
see it's not just one it's the verse but

00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:36.720
there's everything in that chapter and

00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.519
so he's thinking about the scriptures

00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:40.800
now what stories I'll put it this

00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:42.360
way

00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.639
Supernatural

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.680
provision okay you've got no food or

00:16:48.680 --> 00:16:52.279

he's got to do everything that Moses did

00:17:03.079 --> 00:17:04.679
in the people which story Numbers

00:17:04.679 --> 00:17:08.559

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.159
again then Moses lifted up his hand and

00:19:06.159 --> 00:19:08.799
struck the rock twice with his Rod God

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.600
had told him to take the rod God didn't

00:19:10.600 --> 00:19:12.080
tell him to strike The Rock he told him

00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:14.400
to speak to the rod and water came forth

00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:16.120
abundantly the will of God was fulfilled

00:19:16.120 --> 00:19:17.480
anyway because God is Sovereign and

00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.000
that's what God wanted to

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:21.840
do and all the people and the animals

00:19:21.840 --> 00:19:25.480
they all drank and we satisfied okay but

00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:28.400
then the next verse says God judges

00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.200
Moses said you did not sanctify me in in

00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:32.880
the sight of the people of Israel and

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.720
because of this you and Aaron will not

00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.840
enter the promised land all right now

00:19:37.840 --> 00:19:40.320
I'm tell you again I'm Yeshua I'm not

00:19:40.320 --> 00:19:42.360
Yeshua if I'm Yeshua I'm standing there

00:19:42.360 --> 00:19:45.440
thinking all right speak to the Rock

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.720
food water the story of Moses ego do I

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:51.520
have to show something what else is

00:19:51.520 --> 00:19:55.120
different Yeshua is

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.880
alone Moses wasn't alone

00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.600
do you ever was there ever a time where

00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:04.080
Moses was alone with God and something

00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:05.880
Supernatural

00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:08.080
happened yeah the beginning of his his

00:20:08.080 --> 00:20:10.640
call The Burning Bush did he have to

00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:14.280
make that happen no God spoke and it was

00:20:14.280 --> 00:20:17.480
there okay every other time that Moses

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:20.360
did something Supernatural was a sign it

00:20:20.360 --> 00:20:23.080
was for the people think about yeshua's

00:20:23.080 --> 00:20:24.919
life and Ministry after this is there

00:20:24.919 --> 00:20:29.159
any time that our Lord Yeshua

00:20:29.159 --> 00:20:32.320
the one who had full command charge over

00:20:32.320 --> 00:20:35.600
the supernatural world who could speak

00:20:35.600 --> 00:20:37.880
and do anything whatever he said would

00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.840
come to pass did he ever do anything

00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:42.400
Supernatural for himself by himself

00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.159
that's recorded in

00:20:45.840 --> 00:20:50.440
scripture No provision he fed the 5,000

00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:52.799
he fed the 4,000 and at the end he said

00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:54.559
to pick up the crumbs that's tomorrow's

00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:56.720
morning that's breakfast

00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:58.720
tomorrow okay they were together for for

00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:00.480
three years how many is that that's 900

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.000
a th000 days every day except two days

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.159
they ate they paved they did the normal

00:21:07.159 --> 00:21:09.520
thing that human beings do there were

00:21:09.520 --> 00:21:11.240
time two times with this 5,000 in the

00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.559
fourth that it was a sign it was for the

00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.679
people okay it wasn't Yeshua saying I

00:21:17.679 --> 00:21:20.279
got to do something Supernatural so I

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:23.159
can feel like I'm the Son of

00:21:23.159 --> 00:21:26.919
God okay never did that never did that

00:21:26.919 --> 00:21:29.520
with the supernatural right and Moses

00:21:29.520 --> 00:21:31.559
didn't do it either and this one time

00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:34.880
when Moses got his ego

00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.559
involved it was bad news for Moses and

00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:40.760
for the people okay um the other Story

00:21:40.760 --> 00:21:43.600
another story of miraculous provision

00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:46.600
let's think of the most important people

00:21:46.600 --> 00:21:48.520
the the Torah Moses and the prophets

00:21:48.520 --> 00:21:49.840
Elijah that's why in the Mount of

00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:51.440
transfiguration it's the two of them who

00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.679
appear Moses represents the Torah and

00:21:53.679 --> 00:21:56.240
Elijah the the prophets Elijah did he

00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:59.640
was he ever fed supernaturally

00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:00.760
what's the

00:22:00.760 --> 00:22:02.480
story

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:07.440
Ravens right crows all right First Kings

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.960
17 we'll just focus on First Kings 17

00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:12.600
veres 5 and 6 it's up there right this

00:22:12.600 --> 00:22:14.600
is where at the beginning when he he is

00:22:14.600 --> 00:22:16.480
he's uh announced that there will be no

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.480
no rain for three years and now he's on

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.559
the run and God leads him and he's he he

00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:23.840
went to according to the word of the

00:22:23.840 --> 00:22:25.679
Lord he went and lived by the Brook

00:22:25.679 --> 00:22:27.320
which is east of the Jordan the Ravens

00:22:27.320 --> 00:22:29.200
brought him bread and and meat in the

00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:31.320
morning and bread and meat in the

00:22:31.320 --> 00:22:34.360
evening takeaway W Vault whatever you

00:22:34.360 --> 00:22:37.480
want to call it okay think about that

00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:39.360
from the Crow's mouth where did they get

00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:41.360
bread I mean meat I get they can pick up

00:22:41.360 --> 00:22:43.600
some dead carcasses I don't know but

00:22:43.600 --> 00:22:46.360
bread they don't make bread you

00:22:46.360 --> 00:22:48.799
know and he's bringing it to them

00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:53.559
amazing he's alone how did it happen God

00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.600
spoke how did God

00:22:56.600 --> 00:22:59.159
speak God said

00:22:59.159 --> 00:23:02.559
to the Ravens do this right we didn't

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.360
hear that and Elijah didn't hear it what

00:23:04.360 --> 00:23:07.559
did he hear the Ravens bringing me

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:09.520
food God has

00:23:09.520 --> 00:23:11.240
spoken

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.480
circumstance okay when God speaks you

00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.919
know when no one was around when he said

00:23:15.919 --> 00:23:18.679
let there be light we didn't hear that

00:23:18.679 --> 00:23:21.120
but God spoke and there's

00:23:21.120 --> 00:23:24.400
light that's how God speaks

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:27.919
supernaturally most of the time is there

00:23:27.919 --> 00:23:29.440
it is

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:33.080
okay so in another case here that Yeshua

00:23:33.080 --> 00:23:35.640
is processing this and wait a minute

00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:37.440
that but Moses and the prophets they

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:39.960
didn't there was never a situation like

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:43.559
this where they just by themselves for

00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:45.919
themselves did something Supernatural

00:23:45.919 --> 00:23:48.320
where God instead of God speaking and

00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:51.000
providing they had to do it themselves

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:54.159
they had to command Okay so he takes

00:23:54.159 --> 00:23:55.520
those things

00:23:55.520 --> 00:23:58.520
together wait a minute I I don't need to

00:23:58.520 --> 00:23:59.760
prove I've

00:23:59.760 --> 00:24:03.559
heard 40 days ago that voice that voice

00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.039
that one time that's

00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.480
enough I don't need to keep on I don't

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:12.600
need some Supernatural high or power to

00:24:12.600 --> 00:24:14.039
keep

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:18.360
myself confident in my sunship my

00:24:18.360 --> 00:24:22.919
identity as a child of God you hear

00:24:22.919 --> 00:24:25.320
me some of us we'll talk about this at

00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:27.880
the end some of us and I'm I can tell

00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.159
you my own story at the end sometimes we

00:24:30.159 --> 00:24:32.120
get a little bit

00:24:32.120 --> 00:24:34.679
addicted and we think we need something

00:24:34.679 --> 00:24:37.200
Supernatural from God to to get me

00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.200
through this

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:42.279
well what that means what that

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:44.760
Supernatural is going to look

00:24:44.760 --> 00:24:46.919
like let him

00:24:46.919 --> 00:24:49.679
decide amen and be confident in who you

00:24:49.679 --> 00:24:53.000
are let's finish all right as again he's

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.240
going through this process of

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:58.640
discernment of

00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:01.159
figuring out of of not fig he's praying

00:25:01.159 --> 00:25:04.360
he's he's he's meditating on this this

00:25:04.360 --> 00:25:06.399
thought that had come to him if you're

00:25:06.399 --> 00:25:08.120
the Son of God speak to the stones and

00:25:08.120 --> 00:25:09.880
turn them into bread and he's going

00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:11.360
through scriptures in his mind he's

00:25:11.360 --> 00:25:12.960
going through the stories of the

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.440
prophets and and Moses and then he comes

00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.240
to this the third one which is the one

00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:19.799
he he finishes with and speaks which is

00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:21.520
Deuteronomy

00:25:21.520 --> 00:25:25.600
8 he speaks part of verse three um but

00:25:25.600 --> 00:25:28.440
you remember um you know as was teaching

00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:31.480
Romans 91011 how and encouraging people

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:33.840
all the time when there's a quote that

00:25:33.840 --> 00:25:35.880
it may just be the tip of the iceberg

00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:39.120
from that section in the Old Testament

00:25:39.120 --> 00:25:42.520
and to stop and to go back and read not

00:25:42.520 --> 00:25:46.000
just read around it okay and you'll find

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:49.080
oh he's referencing not just that that

00:25:49.080 --> 00:25:50.559
one little phrase he's referencing the

00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:53.200
whole thing of what's written in Isaiah

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:54.799
or what's written in in Moses and this

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:59.360
is the same thing uh in um

00:25:59.360 --> 00:26:00.840
in Deuteronomy okay I'm going to read

00:26:00.840 --> 00:26:04.520
from Deuteronomy 8 1-3 by the way all

00:26:04.520 --> 00:26:06.840
three of yeshua's answers to the

00:26:06.840 --> 00:26:08.240
Temptations and we'll talk about the

00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:11.720
next Temptations in the next time um he

00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:17.679
quotes his his trump card uh is a verse

00:26:17.679 --> 00:26:20.240
from Deuteronomy either chapter 6 or

00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:23.279
chapter 8 okay we'll talk about that at

00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:25.960
the end why why those chapters

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:28.640
Deuteronomy 8 1-3 all the command ments

00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:30.440
that I am commanding you today you shall

00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.279
be careful to do that you may live and

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:35.600
multiply and go in and possess the land

00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:37.320
which the Lord swore to give your

00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:39.919
fathers you shall remember all the way

00:26:39.919 --> 00:26:41.520
which the Lord your God has led you in

00:26:41.520 --> 00:26:44.480
the wilderness these 40 years that he

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:46.480
might humble

00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:50.440
you testing you to know what was in your

00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:52.279
heart whether you would keep his

00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.320
Commandments or not not just whether but

00:26:55.320 --> 00:26:57.360
why you would keep his Commandments What

00:26:57.360 --> 00:27:00.039
is the motivation of your heart of your

00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:04.120
ego he humbled you and let you be hungry

00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:06.919
and fed you with Mana which you did not

00:27:06.919 --> 00:27:09.880
know nor did your fathers know and I

00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:14.039
would add and nor did Moses command the

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.320
Heavens to rain down how did the mana

00:27:17.320 --> 00:27:19.000
come to the people of

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:23.399
Israel God spoke how did God speak he

00:27:23.399 --> 00:27:26.240
said let there be Mana every day and on

00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:27.799
the sixth day on Friday let there be a

00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.240
double portion okay we didn't hear

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:32.440
nobody heard that voice what did you see

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:36.320
what did you get the Mana God spoke the

00:27:36.320 --> 00:27:38.399
physical Universe testify here it is

00:27:38.399 --> 00:27:41.279
this is what God is saying all

00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:44.679
right that he might make you understand

00:27:44.679 --> 00:27:47.039
that

00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.399
man the man does not live by bread alone

00:27:52.399 --> 00:27:55.320
but man lives by everything that

00:27:55.320 --> 00:27:59.760
proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord

00:27:59.760 --> 00:28:01.880
so when Yeshua when he answers and says

00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:05.559
now it's not man does not live by bread

00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:08.399
alone what he and but by every word that

00:28:08.399 --> 00:28:09.960
comes out of out of the mouth of God he

00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:13.640
said God hasn't spoken

00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:17.200
here because if God according to the

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:18.600
Torah and according to Moses and

00:28:18.600 --> 00:28:21.919
according to Elijah and according to my

00:28:21.919 --> 00:28:25.640
confidence as the Son of God if God

00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:29.080
wanted me to eat miraculously

00:28:29.080 --> 00:28:31.720
God would send the Ravens with some meat

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:35.640
and bread God would just the rock would

00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:38.240
start you know leaking water and and and

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.000
bringing me food and and drink that

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.519
would be God speaking I don't have to

00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:46.399
make it up I don't have to do something

00:28:46.399 --> 00:28:48.600
Supernatural out here for myself to

00:28:48.600 --> 00:28:52.320
practice I don't need it for my ego and

00:28:52.320 --> 00:28:54.200
I know that when God there is going to

00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:55.960
be some Supernatural things that's going

00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:57.880
that I'm going to do feeding people but

00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:59.799
it's it's going to be for them it's

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:01.960
going to be for the people it's going to

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:05.480
be a sign it's going to be a Ministry

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:09.320
not for my ego okay that's what Yeshua

00:29:09.320 --> 00:29:11.840
said just in that one phrase he's he's

00:29:11.840 --> 00:29:14.360
all right here these verses are in his

00:29:14.360 --> 00:29:17.200
mind about the Mana about Moses and

00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:20.279
about Elijah and he's he's he's just

00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:23.240
Discerning wait a that thought that's

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:25.880
not a that's not a god

00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:29.640
thought that's not a god thought

00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:32.159
so I promised I'd tell just a little bit

00:29:32.159 --> 00:29:35.240
of my story where our time is almost up

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:37.480
um I came to the Lord you know in Tokyo

00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:39.159
Japan in

00:29:39.159 --> 00:29:43.080
1992 and I came uh to the Lord in a very

00:29:43.080 --> 00:29:46.919
dramatic and Supernatural way uh I heard

00:29:46.919 --> 00:29:50.840
the voice of God he spoke into my my I

00:29:50.840 --> 00:29:52.799
was born again and that that channel was

00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:55.120
open into the spiritual realm and I was

00:29:55.120 --> 00:29:58.600
given Isaiah 536 or 5 and 6

00:29:58.600 --> 00:30:00.120
by his stripes you were healed verses I

00:30:00.120 --> 00:30:01.559
had never read I hadn't read that much

00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:03.880
of the Bible and I was totally

00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.200
transformed and for really for months

00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:09.320
even about a year to a year and a half

00:30:09.320 --> 00:30:12.200
afterwards I was like hearing like these

00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:15.519
thoughts God was leading me in very

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.640
Supernatural ways okay and it was

00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.279
wonderful and by the after you I'm back

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:25.559
in my my home where I grew up in West

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:29.240
Harford Connecticut uh in 1993 1994 was

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:31.039
starting doing different things in

00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:33.840
Ministry and over I don't think maybe

00:30:33.840 --> 00:30:37.279
over the course of a month or so that

00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:38.360
sort of

00:30:38.360 --> 00:30:41.279
Supernatural leading of God and of

00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.200
hearing this sort of these go here do

00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:47.279
this do that sort of just kind of went

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:51.799
quiet okay and I was really confused I

00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:53.720
thought I've sinned I've done something

00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:57.519
terrible what's happened God has left me

00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:59.200
and I took some I took a few days of

00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:01.840
fasting and prayer to seek the Lord and

00:31:01.840 --> 00:31:04.039
He one day just kind of as I was reading

00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:06.880
and he led me very clearly to the

00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:09.039
scripture the story in John of

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:11.679
Thomas who you know after the

00:31:11.679 --> 00:31:13.720
resurrection he Yeshua appears to the

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:15.840
other disciples and Thomas says I I I

00:31:15.840 --> 00:31:17.960
won't believe it until I see it and then

00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:20.200
a week later or eight days later I think

00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:22.320
boom there's Yeshua in the room and he

00:31:22.320 --> 00:31:24.639
goes straight to Thomas and says here

00:31:24.639 --> 00:31:27.440
touch my hands you know and in other

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:29.120
words he Yeshua knew exactly what he

00:31:29.120 --> 00:31:32.200
needed and he says my God my savior

00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:34.120
something like that right and then

00:31:34.120 --> 00:31:35.960
Yeshua says to

00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:38.679
him it's it's great that you believe

00:31:38.679 --> 00:31:40.799
because you've seen But blessed are

00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:45.799
those who having not seen

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:50.360
believe and I went ah and I this thought

00:31:50.360 --> 00:31:53.679
very came to my mind which said if I if

00:31:53.679 --> 00:31:56.600
you never have any more Supernatural

00:31:56.600 --> 00:31:59.519
experience will you still follow me will

00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:01.880
you still

00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:06.679
believe and I said yes and I can tell

00:32:06.679 --> 00:32:09.000
you since that time I've had some

00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:11.240
Supernatural experiences but not like it

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:13.600
was in that first year and I can also

00:32:13.600 --> 00:32:16.120
tell you that most of the time that I

00:32:16.120 --> 00:32:18.440
have strongly heard the voice of God or

00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:20.760
even seen signs and wonders has been

00:32:20.760 --> 00:32:23.760
when I've ministered to others or when

00:32:23.760 --> 00:32:26.639
I've been sharing the gospel or helping

00:32:26.639 --> 00:32:28.159
people

00:32:28.159 --> 00:32:29.760
not for

00:32:29.760 --> 00:32:32.200
myself okay and that's one of the the

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:34.200
big lessons we need to learn from

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.559
this when when when our ego is involved

00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:40.039
when our ego is there when our heart our

00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:41.919
desires are there we've got to be

00:32:41.919 --> 00:32:44.279
careful about how we hear the voice of

00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.919
God I was talking to young lady a few

00:32:46.919 --> 00:32:49.720
weeks ago who would love to get married

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.240
she's single and she's praying and

00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:53.679
praying she thinks he's hearing about

00:32:53.679 --> 00:32:55.320
this guy or

00:32:55.320 --> 00:32:57.960
maybe and I said wow I have experienced

00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:59.360
for that cuz I came to the Lord at age

00:32:59.360 --> 00:33:01.919
25 and had to wait 18 years until God

00:33:01.919 --> 00:33:05.559
gave me my bride um and really had to

00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.320
give up that thought but but how

00:33:08.320 --> 00:33:11.799
much when our desire our heart our ego

00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:12.799
wants

00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:16.000
something we can tend to

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:18.960
manipulate the word of God or the voice

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.480
of God or the spirit or to use it for

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.960
our own I want

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:26.120
it uh and we got to be really really

00:33:26.120 --> 00:33:27.559
careful of that we've got to walk like

00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:28.760
you

00:33:28.760 --> 00:33:32.639
Yeshua we've got to be all so confident

00:33:32.639 --> 00:33:36.639
and we can be now in that same voice

00:33:36.639 --> 00:33:38.679
because of because of Yeshua because of

00:33:38.679 --> 00:33:40.360
his death and resurrection and the new

00:33:40.360 --> 00:33:44.559
birth you are my beloved son or daughter

00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.799
in whom I Delight I hope you all that's

00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:49.919
that's scripture that's you if you

00:33:49.919 --> 00:33:52.519
believe in him in Christ Jesus we have

00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:56.120
that and we that peace that

00:33:56.120 --> 00:33:57.880
righteousness peace and joy that we have

00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:01.240
have that's it that's the kingdom of God

00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:03.440
and we need to be so confident in that

00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:06.080
that we don't need anything Supernatural

00:34:06.080 --> 00:34:08.159
we don't need the the the high or the

00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:10.440
low doesn't matter what happens we're

00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:13.679
confident we don't need to prove

00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:17.280
anything about who we are right because

00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:18.839
if you need to prove something then

00:34:18.839 --> 00:34:20.560
there's something faulty

00:34:20.560 --> 00:34:23.560
with that new birth and that adoption

00:34:23.560 --> 00:34:25.879
it's not enough we don't need to prove

00:34:25.879 --> 00:34:30.240
anything number one number two we are

00:34:30.240 --> 00:34:32.520
people of the word of God of the Holy

00:34:32.520 --> 00:34:35.119
scriptures we've got to be learning it

00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:37.560
memorizing it putting it deep into our

00:34:37.560 --> 00:34:39.679
hearts so that when we are tested the

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:41.480
Holy Spirit can help and go through that

00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:43.679
Library like it did with Yeshua and help

00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:45.639
us process and discern and we don't need

00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:48.000
to do that alone he's he's the son of

00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:49.359
God he had to do it alone in the desert

00:34:49.359 --> 00:34:51.320
after 40 days we have past we have

00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.800
friends we have leaders we can go to and

00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:55.919
say you know I've been hearing something

00:34:55.919 --> 00:34:58.400
can you help me discern is this from God

00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.320
or not right and we do that with the

00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:03.920
scriptures we check our hearts it's

00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:07.359
about our identity it's about learning

00:35:07.359 --> 00:35:11.920
the the word of God and learning to wait

00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:15.520
for him to speak in through the

00:35:15.520 --> 00:35:18.320
circumstances it takes time but when the

00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:20.599
circumstances change after we pray he

00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:25.200
has spoken right and then that's how we

00:35:25.200 --> 00:35:28.079
can then begin to operate more and more

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:31.320
in the Supernatural in Ministry to

00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:33.920
others as God uses us to bring the

00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:37.760
gospel to this world Amen let's pray

00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:42.320
father we thank you for this example of

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.440
Yeshua and what he went through and

thank you God that you sent him and he

00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:51.440

us and through him Lord we can we in him

00:35:55.319 --> 00:35:58.280
we can learn to have the same level of

00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.560
discernment of

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:05.760
confidence L thank you that we that the

00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:09.040

we don't do anything to deserve it we

00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:14.240

00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:36.040
