--> 00:12:06,399 our Lord and Savior in true 261 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,160 righteousness and holiness the Bible 262 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,720 says we are born again we receive the 263 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,920 Holy Spirit our body become the temple 264 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,839 of the spirit of God deep inside of us 265 00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:18,560 that's what the scripture says 266 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,200 now I'm talking to believers you are a 267 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,040 believer that's why you're watching me 268 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,760 you

But the real temple is here 278 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,800 now I want to show you the parallel 279 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,560 between the temple of Old Testament and 280 00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:59,360 the temple of whom you are today we are 281 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,360 talking about spiritual things because 282 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,760 Jesus is always in the spirit that's why 283 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,600 Jesus said God is spirit those who 284 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,040 worship him must do so in spirit and in 285 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,360 truth why do we go to

these stones god is able to 303 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,279 raise children to Abraham from these 304 00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:05,160 stones who are the children of 305 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,519

do we have the Holy Spirit when we 309 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:17,760 believe the word of God the living word 310 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,880 of God m 1 Peter 1:23 say we are born 311 00:14:20,880

00:14:39,199 quickly the symbol why the Pharisees 318 00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:41,519 find it so difficult to understand 319 00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:44,399 Jesus's message there's so much believe 320 00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:46,600 in the law of Muslim this 321 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,240 is what we all know in the in the 322 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,120 wilderness i hope we ask any every every

universe of God daily if 326 00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:01,360 you are truly a student of the universe 327 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,600 of God you are reading your Bible daily 328 00:15:03,600 -->

331 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,160 read your Bible every day there is no 332 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,880 way we can grow in consciousness of 333 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,399 God's presence without the daily 334 00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:22,160 bread when Jesus taught us how to pray 335 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,639 is father give us today our daily 336 00:15:25,639 --> 00:15:28,399 bread when Jesus spoke to the Pharisees 337 00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:31,360 he said Moses gave you the mana but my 338 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,839 father gave you the bread from heaven 339 00:15:33,839 --> 00:15:36,480 who eats my flesh and drinks my blood 340 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,399 jesus Christ is the living word who 341 00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:39,320 became 342 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,000 flesh that rock we are talking about is 343 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,959 Christ the foundation of the temple is 344 00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:46,639 Jesus 345 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:49,839 who is Jesus the living word the word of 346 00:15:49,839 --> 00:15:51,320 life in your 347 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,000 heart is the lordship of Christ in 348 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,560 you take note of that the word of Christ 349 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,600 in your heart is the lordship of Christ 350 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,480 in you meaning that Christ and the word 351 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,320 are one so when the word of God is in 352 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,800 your heart Jesus is in your heart that's 353 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,639 why we have the presence of God the 354 00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:13,279 spirit of God through his word in our 355 00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:15,680 heart and that is how we have that 356 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,360 miracle we talked about at the beginning 357 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,920 that the God who created us dwells 358 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,440 within our hearts through his word and 359 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,240 by his spirit take note through his word 360 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,680 by his spirit this means the word of 361 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,680 life dwelling inside of us is Christ 362 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,199 building his nature in us as that word 363 00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:40,639 of life rules our heart discipline our 364 00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:43,440 spirit and produce the nature of God in 365 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,240 us the fruit of the 366 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,839 spirit that's why God looks at you when 367 00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:49,560 it comes to him is this my 368 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,160 temple how do we know that God is in the 369 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,160 temple by the living presence of the 370 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,040 Holy Spirit in your heart when God looks 371 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,440 at you he will seize the spirit of God 372 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,040 inside of you his light his presence 373 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,000 the question is there is something to be 374 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,720 in the presence of God there's another 375 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,000 thing to be aware of God's presence you 376 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,760 mean you can be in the presence of God 377 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,079 without actually being aware of it is 378 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,000 that right that's what Jesus said jesus 379 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000 say destroy this temple in 3 days I will 380 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,199 raise it up oh my God the god they were 381 00:17:25,199 --> 00:17:28,079 worshiping in the temple in the ritual 382 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:30,720 came in b form in Christ and say I am he 383 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,880 and they didn't even know they didn't 384 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,160 know that that was the day of their 385 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,799 visitation that's why Jesus wept over 386 00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:39,760 them and I think that's actually so 387 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,840 critical for us to understand today it's 388 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,160 not just referring to the religious 389 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,000 leaders or even the people that saw 390 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,080 Jesus physically during his earthly 391 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,840 ministry many of us can have the 392 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,440 presence of God or be in the midst of 393 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,919 the presence of God and not be aware and 394 00:17:55,919 --> 00:17:59,280 that's a big that's dramatic m I can go 395 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,000 to church service oh what a wonderful 396 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,960 message oh the pastor the preach i saw 397 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,720 the choir i saw the beauty you look in 398 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,400 the temple as the Pharisees are doing 399 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,120 going to church is not a natural thing 400 00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:15,440 it it's a it's a thing of God that 401 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,039 reminds me of something prophet Joshua 402 00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:19,039 said do you remember he said it was 403 00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:20,960 something he told us disciples he said 404 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,559 that everywhere I go is holy because I 405 00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:28,000 see that place as holy meaning that that 406 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,160 reverence for God he had it in every 407 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,919 single place for example if he entered 408 00:18:31,919 --> 00:18:34,480 the studio if anywhere he went he would 409 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,320 he would have reverence for God in that 410 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,120 place because he saw that place as holy 411 00:18:38,120 --> 00:18:40,640 ground because he recognized the spirit 412 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,799 of God everywhere that followed him and 413 00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:44,799 that's why he treated the everywhere 414 00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:47,440 with such reverence and respect because 415 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,120 he had that awareness of Christ's 416 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:50,960 presence that's why they say

00:20:09,520 word X i don't want human words to 447 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,679 describe it that's the mystery of 448 00:20:11,679 --> 00:20:13,200 godliness the Bible is talking about 449 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,400 yeah the the mystery of of grace that 450 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,440 earthly vessels like us jars of 451 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,559 clay we can have the divine presence of 452 00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:26,960 God in us and that truly is the greatest 453 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,880 mystery that's the wisdom of the 454 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,520 almighty God 455 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,520 god did not choose to live in big 456 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,280 palaces 457 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,520 when Solomon built the temple Solomon 458 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,520 said "Will God abide in the temple built 459 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,559 by man?" God whom the heavens and the 460 00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:47,120 earth cannot receive 461 00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:50,120 cannot dwell in the temple built by 462 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:54,400 man if him can say that him who built 463 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,840 the temple itself he's saying "Will God 464 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,120 abide in the temple built by man?" 465 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:02,520 That's what he said 466 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,159 himself if Salom can say that why those 467 00:21:06,159 --> 00:21:07,919 who so much trust in the temple on the 468 00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:10,320 outside will value the temple more than 469 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,000 the one who is greater in the temple 470 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,240 that is 471 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,919 Jesus but they could not see it because 472 00:21:15,919 --> 00:21:17,919 their eyes were closed their heart was 473 00:21:17,919 --> 00:21:22,760 closed they didn't know who Jesus was 474 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,400 Jesus is Lord over everything we do 475 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,480 first king 8 27 so Jesus said destroy 476 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,159 this temple in 3 days I will raise it up 477 00:21:34,159 --> 00:21:36,640 that's what the Lord is saying 478 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,440 but will God indeed dwell on the earth 479 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,720 behold heaven and the heaven of heavens 480 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,520 cannot contain you how much less this 481 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,720 temple which I have built you hear that 482 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,440 first Kings 8:27 that's what Solomon 483 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,960 said 484 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,520 so why do the Pharisees and Sadducees 485 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,760 pay so much attention and they forgot 486 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,120 the words that Solomon said 487 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:02,640 himself and greater than Salom was in 488 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,840 the presence is Jesus and don't forget 489 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,799 they crucified Jesus because Jesus say I 490 00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:09,799 am 491 00:22:09,799 --> 00:22:15,200 he I and my father we are one 492 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,559 this means truth can come but we can 493 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:19,960 resist the 494 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,480 truth so The temple of God is in spirit 495 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,440 god is spirit and the temple God choose 496 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:33,039 is raw when I say raw R a W raw from God 497 00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:36,080 this body is not built by man look at 498 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,000 Ruth look at me this body came from God 499 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,919 raw not stone living stone this is the 500 00:22:41,919 --> 00:22:46,240 temple God choose to dwell this fragile 501 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,360 body whether you are tall whether you 502 00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:51,919 are short whether you can walk or you 503 00:22:51,919 --> 00:22:54,960 cannot walk whether you you you lack one 504 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,760 hand or one leg but as long as you have 505 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,120 the spirit of God you are the temple of 506 00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:01,440 the most high God because we're made to 507 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,159 be like Jesus not in our not in the 508 00:23:04,159 --> 00:23:06,559 outside but in our heart in our heart 509 00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:09,200 that's why we're made to be like Jesus 510 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,520 that's why Jesus said there's one reason 511 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,080 why they could not see that it takes the 512 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,000 grace of God to understand that 513 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,159 spiritual things 514 00:23:18,159 --> 00:23:20,559 that's the reason why the Bible says 515 00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:22,120 clearly in the book of Isaiah chapter 516 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:24,960 6:9 prophet Isaiah says something can we 517 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,400 go to Isaiah 6:9 and remember the same 518 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,640 thing happened to us today and he said 519 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,760 "Go tell these people keep on hearing 520 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,559 but do not understand keep on seeing but 521 00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:39,120 do not perceive make the heart of this 522 00:23:39,120 --> 00:23:41,520 people dull and their eyes heavy and 523 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,600 shut their eyes lest they see with their 524 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,360 eyes and hear with their ears and 525 00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:48,320 understand with their heart and return 526 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,159 this is exactly be healed whom the 527 00:23:50,159 --> 00:23:52,000 prophet is talking he's talking when 528 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,919 Jesus will be revealed to them this is 529 00:23:53,919 --> 00:23:55,760 how they will treat him can you explain 530 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,840 this portion because it's I will I want 531 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,200 to take over Bible and say keep on 532 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,600 hearing the message keep on hear the 533 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,840 parable of Jesus keep on hearing the 534 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,480 preaching of the word of God but 535 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,640 continue do not understand do not 536 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,840 understand this is the key 537 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,240 the first element of faith is spiritual 538 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,159 understanding but was he telling them 539 00:24:18,159 --> 00:24:19,679 not to understand or was he just saying 540 00:24:19,679 --> 00:24:21,679 that they do not understand yeah I'm 541 00:24:21,679 --> 00:24:26,400 coming to that god said because God knew 542 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,200 in his mercy in his favor that nobody by 543 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,240 self-righteousness can know who Jesus is 544 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,760 unless you are helped by the Holy Spirit 545 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,600 m 546 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,440 you can be the most religious people 547 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,679 doing your 548 00:24:38,679 --> 00:24:41,520 rituals but to know who Jesus Christ is 549 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,960 is the mighty grace of God 1 Corinthians 550 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,200 12:13 says no one can say Jesus is the 551 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,760 Lord without the help by the Holy Ghost 552 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,200 the Holy Spirit many people can say it 553 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,240 is impossible the mere man but if the 554 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,400 Holy Ghost open your eyes to see who 555 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,559 Jesus Christ is you will know who Jesus 556 00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:01,279 is in spirit or in truth he's saying the 557 00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:04,240 prophet is saying when Jesus will come 558 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,080 you will look it with your natural eyes 559 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,120 but your spiritual eyes will be 560 00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:10,760 blind and you will not understand his 561 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,440 words when they say destroy this temple 562 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,320 in 3 days I will raise it up John 2:1 19 563 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,159 they refer to the temple of building 564 00:25:18,159 --> 00:25:20,880 Jesus were referring to his body if they 565 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,360 were spiritual they would know this man 566 00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:25,039 he is talking about himself so that 567 00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:26,559 means they heard Jesus but they didn't 568 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:28,880 understand what he said absolutely 569 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,799 because the word was spiritual that's 570 00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:33,039 why Jesus spoke to them in parable all 571 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:35,760 the time to confirm the saying of Isaiah 572 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,679 mean you can read the Bible in the 573 00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:39,360 letter and not understand the meaning in 574 00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:41,679 the spirit so does that mean even today 575 00:25:41,679 --> 00:25:43,840 so many of us we can read this Bible we 576 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,919 can read the letters on the page but not 577 00:25:45,919 --> 00:25:47,200 understand it because the word is 578 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,799 spiritual that's why we need the holy 579 00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:51,679 spirit that's why in the new testament 2 580 00:25:51,679 --> 00:25:54,240 corinthians chapter 3 verse 56 talk 581 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,480 called the ministry of the holy 582 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,799 spirit for the letter kills but the 583 00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:02,679 spirit gives 584 00:26:02,679 --> 00:26:05,400 life so now we can be very 585 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,679 religious we can do ritual on the 586 00:26:07,679 --> 00:26:10,159 outside but what is the meaning in the 587 00:26:10,159 --> 00:26:12,640 spirit for God and that's what God God 588 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,520 says in spirit and in 589 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,840 truth when you look at the temple if 590 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,840 you're led by the Holy Spirit you will 591 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,240 know this man is the truth jesus I am 592 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,000 the way jesus said I am the way i am the 593 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,200 truth i am the life no one comes to the 594 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,520 father except through me that's what the 595 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,080 Lord 596 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,960 says to know that way it demands 597 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,960 revelation that was the way of 598 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,360 God that's why I'm coming to say to you 599 00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:48,039 when God instructed Moses to build the 600 00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:51,600 tabernacle God showed to Moses an image 601 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,000 of the tabernacle in heaven whatever 602 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,600 Moses did was in absolute obedience to 603 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,279 God and at the end Moses said in 604 00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:02,960 Jerusalem chapter 18 a prophet will come 605 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,159 one day listen to him and one day Jesus 606 00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:08,559 came to fulfill all those scriptures and 607 00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:10,480 stood in the midst of his people why 608 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,640 they could not 609 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,240 understand why Moses said it before why 610 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,240 they could not see but Jesus was saying 611 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,799 yes keep on seeing but do not perceive 612 00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:22,799 mean

--> 00:27:28,320 it's written is is Isaiah saying that 616 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,039 people should not or that they cannot no 617 00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:33,440 people cannot what the way it's written 618 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,600 as if he's saying that what what Isaiah 619 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:36,440 is 620 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,520 saying that if the people don't forget 621 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,440 at that moment the people abandon God 622 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,320 the people follow foreign gods the Bal 623 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,320 and many of them were about to be 624 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,120 deported to foreign land and the prophet 625 00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:52,799 was calling them to come back to God in 626 00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:54,960 spirit and in truth 627 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,559 and God said "These people are stiff 628 00:27:56,559 --> 00:27:59,159 necked." So Isaiah is saying to 629 00:27:59,159 --> 00:28:01,760 them "Keep on saying." God said to 630 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,120 himself God made a promise that all the 631 00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:07,960 nations shall be blessed in the seed of 632 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,200 Abraham that's what God said but God in 633 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,640 his wisdom 634 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,640 allow those called the pagans the 635 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,480 nations to receive the light first 636 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,559 before them that's the wisdom of God 637 00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:24,640 the Bible says it's not the first from 638 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,279 the natural but the first in the spirit 639 00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:28,720 when Paul preached the gospel they 640 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,640 reject him as they reject Jesus he say 641 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,360 I'm going to the nations we are the 642 00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:36,399 nations we are not Jews by birth but the 643 00:28:36,399 --> 00:28:40,080 Bible say we are Jew in the spirit 644 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,159 when they come Holy Ghost can open our 645 00:28:42,159 --> 00:28:44,480 eyes to see what they refuse to see in 646 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,320 because they they were clinging to the 647 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,320 letter and they don't want to let the 648 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,120 letter go but the Bible say Christ is 649 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,640 the end of the law for everybody who 650 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,679 believes it was so difficult for them 651 00:28:55,679 --> 00:28:58,240 what they stood for for so many years to 652 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,080 abandon it to see who Jesus was but you 653 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,480 know people that read this in the letter 654 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,960 they can read this portion of Isaiah and 655 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,640 you know it read it again from beginning 656 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,600 okay then I said to them then I said 657 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,320 "Here I am send me."

which says "Hearing 814 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,880 you will hear and shall not understand 815 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,839 and seeing you will see and not perceive 816 00:35:35,839 --> 00:35:37,920 for the hearts of this people have grown 817 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,960 dull the heart is dull their ears are 818 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,640 hard of hearing the ears mean your 819 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,119 conscience is dead their eyes they have 820 00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:47,520 closed their spiritual eyes are closed 821 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,400 lest they should see with their ears see 822 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,480 with their eyes and hear with their ears 823 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,160 lest they should understand with their 824 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,680 hearts to understand something is a key 825 00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,079 if you don't understand you will not 826 00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:03,119 believe yes and turn so that I should 827 00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:05,359 heal them so the true principle of 828 00:36:05,359 --> 00:36:06,960 salvation we talk about God revealed 829 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,079 into Abraham first the principle of 830 00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:12,640 redemption when Jesus died for you 831 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,520 second the principle of election by 832 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,880 grace election by grace mean it's not 833 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,160 your natural descendant but God that 834 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,079 chooses jacob was not the firstborn was 835 00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:27,359 Esau but God choose a small one and give 836 00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:29,560 him the inheritance and not 837 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:34,000 Esau joseph was the children of Ephraim 838 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:34,680 and 839 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,760 Manassa jacob said in Genesis 48 these 840 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,160 two children I adopt them they are my 841 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,520 children in the name of the God of 842 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,440 Abraham Isaac and Jacob he never give 843 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,280 the blessing to his natural seed he gave 844 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,040 him to the children of Joseph that's the 845 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,920 principle of adoption two things 846 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,880 salvation two 847 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,960 principle jesus died for us we have 848 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,520 election by grace god has predestined 849 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,079 you for salvation before you are born 850 00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:02,640 election of grace but you will enter by 851 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,640 faith 852 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,520 number two the principle of adoption 853 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,440 mean God to receive the promise of 854 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,599 Abraham and the name of Abraham you must 855 00:37:11,599 --> 00:37:13,760 be adopted by God himself through the 856 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,160 Holy 857 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,599 Spirit those two principle was revealed 858 00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:20,000 to Abraham give yourself a sacrifice of 859 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,560 Jesus coming number two Isaac had two 860 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,240 sons rebecca took Jacob the smaller one 861 00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:28,640 rule that's election of grace is not by 862 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,200 power nor by might nor by blood but by 863 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,520 God who chooses so who elects and God 864 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,440 does not choose the older one god choose 865 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,400 the small one choose the 866 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,079 weak it's not natural descendant that 867 00:37:40,079 --> 00:37:41,760 give you the inheritance it's election 868 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,160 of grace last is adoption just as Jacob 869 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,960 adopted the children 870 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,720 of Joseph Ephraim and Malass God is 871 00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:53,599 adopt us into in Christ Jesus now I'm 872 00:37:53,599 --> 00:37:57,200 talking about you now in the new church 873 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,000 is by grace mean if the Holy Spirit does 874 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,920 not open your heart to understand Jesus 875 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,960 you will not know Jesus it takes grace 876 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,520 it takes revelation to know who Jesus is 877 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,240 in spirit and in truth but we can pray 878 00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:12,560 for that revelation that is it if you 879 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,920 when you are born again you are born 880 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,839 again by pure grace of God we can pray 881 00:38:15,839 --> 00:38:18,400 for our spiritual eyes to open and our 882 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,400 spiritual ears to open and our hearts to 883 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,240 understand spiritually

--> 00:47:18,400 where the ark of the covenant is why we 1106 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,680 are saying that we we have to go to 1107 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,880 maturity because many people say don't 1108 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,640 we don't even read the old testament we 1109 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,400 have don't understand what it means and 1110 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,000 today we realize that many people are 1111 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,520 preaching the old testament principle in 1112 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,800 the new testament and people are 1113 00:47:31,800 -->

00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,599 that's the New Testament we have to 1117 00:47:41,599 --> 00:47:43,839 worship God in spirit and in truth 1118 00:47:43,839 --> 00:47:45,839 whatever we do for God's sake we must be 1119 00:47:45,839 --> 00:47:47,680 led by the Holy Spirit to do it in 1120 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,160 spirit and in truth so when God was 1121 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,960 showing that

01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,720 spirit it's all about obey obedience if 1582 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:14,480 we obey the voice of our spirit then it 1583 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,799 means that that voice will become louder 1584 01:06:16,799 --> 01:06:18,960 in our heart every time we obey that 1585 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:20,799 still small voice within us and we obey 1586 01:06:20,799 --> 01:06:22,319 the word of God that voice will become 1587 01:06:22,319 --> 01:06:24,559 louder be easier to recognize easier to 1588 01:06:24,559 --> 01:06:26,799 hear because our conscience is tuned to 1589 01:06:26,799 --> 01:06:30,240 it but if we keep on falling into 1590 01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,960 temptation we keep on uh disobeying the 1591 01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,599 word of God the voice becomes more 1592 01:06:35,599 --> 01:06:37,599 difficult for us to hear because we our 1593 01:06:37,599 --> 01:06:39,520 flesh is so strong we keep feeding our 1594 01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,280 flesh and we're starving our spirit 1595 01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,680 that's why anytime they're in a combat 1596 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,520 definitely the flesh will win because 1597
