body of Christ what 00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:48.200 does this 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.560 mean the body of Christ is God's family 00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:55.360 it's the household of faith it is 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.360 comprised of all those who are truly 00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:58.440 born 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.880 again how do you become member of the 00:11:00.880 --> 00:11:03.440 living church the body of Christ let's 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.480 go to 1 Corinthians 12:13 and let's 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.839 listen that's the unity of the spirit 00:11:09.839 --> 00:11:11.920 yes for by one spirit we were all 00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:14.480 baptized into one body whether Jews or 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.200 Greeks whether slaves or free and have 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.320 all been made to drink into one spirit 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.720 this means when we are baptized in the 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.800 Holy Spirit we become part of the body 00:11:24.800 --> 00:11:28.160 of Christ the family of God that's what 00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:30.959 we call the living church that's the 00:11:30.959 --> 00:11:33.600 church Jesus is building on the rock of 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.800 Matthew 16:18 those who are born of the 00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:40.839 living word of God 1 Peter chapter 1 00:11:40.839 --> 00:11:45.360 23 now you have to understand that as a 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.480 believer as a Christian you yourself you 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.360 are the temple of God that's what the 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.680 scripture 00:11:52.680 --> 00:11:55.640 says you are the living 00:11:55.640 --> 00:11:58.399 church you are the temple Christ has 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.560 come to build on that foundation your 00:12:00.560 --> 00:12:02.160 body 00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:04.959 when we accept our Lord Jesus Christ as 00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:06.399 our Lord and Savior in true 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.160 righteousness and holiness the Bible 00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:10.720 says we are born again we receive the 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.920 Holy Spirit our body become the temple 00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:15.839 of the spirit of God deep inside of us 00:12:15.839 --> 00:12:18.560 that's what the scripture says 00:12:18.560 --> 00:12:21.200 now I'm talking to believers you are a 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.040 believer that's why you're watching me 00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:25.760 you need to be conscious of that reality 00:12:25.760 --> 00:12:28.200 Jesus has come to demonstrate in this 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:30.959 world destroy this temple in three days 00:12:30.959 --> 00:12:34.000 I will raise it up and when Jesus were 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.279 entering Jerusalem said 00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.680 "Hey your temple will be destroyed." The 00:12:39.680 --> 00:12:41.920 disciples hey master look this wonderful 00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:44.320 temple look at the rocks jesus said "No 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.639 stone will stay upon us they will be 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.320 destroyed." But the real temple is here 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.800 now I want to show you the parallel 00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:56.560 between the temple of Old Testament and 00:12:56.560 --> 00:12:59.360 the temple of whom you are today we are 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.360 talking about spiritual things because 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.760 Jesus is always in the spirit that's why 00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:07.600 Jesus said God is spirit those who 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.040 worship him must do so in spirit and in 00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:15.360 truth why do we go to the temple why is 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.279 to worship God and to praise God to meet 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.200 God why do we go to church every Sunday 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.839 as today to praise and to worship God 00:13:21.839 --> 00:13:24.320 because we are made for his glory 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.880 now the question we have a Jew and we 00:13:28.880 --> 00:13:31.399 have a special 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.920 Jew the Bible say we are John the 00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:35.680 Baptist came and said something strange 00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:37.560 in the book of Matthew chapter 00:13:37.560 --> 00:13:41.680 3:9 don't say you are Abraham as your 00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:45.120 father for any of the sto God can what 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.639 raise children to Abraham can we go 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.360 there matthew chapter 3:9 and do not 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.440 think to say to yourselves we have 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.079 Abraham as our father for I say to you 00:13:54.079 --> 00:13:56.320 that God is able to raise up children to 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:59.760 Abraham from these stones god is able to 00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:02.279 raise children to Abraham from these 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.160 stones who are the children of 00:14:05.160 --> 00:14:07.519 Abraham those who receive the promise of 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.160 Abraham who are they those who have the 00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:12.800 Holy Spirit 00:14:12.800 --> 00:14:15.519 how do we have the Holy Spirit when we 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:17.760 believe the word of God the living word 00:14:17.760 --> 00:14:20.880 of God m 1 Peter 1:23 say we are born 00:14:20.880 --> 00:14:23.279 again not of corruptible seed but 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.440 incorruptible seed through the word of 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:29.399 God that lives and abide 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:31.920 forever that's the word of life that's 00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:35.600 the rock of the living word now let me 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:36.680 show you 00:14:36.680 --> 00:14:39.199 quickly the symbol why the Pharisees 00:14:39.199 --> 00:14:41.519 find it so difficult to understand 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.399 Jesus's message there's so much believe 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.600 in the law of Muslim this 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.240 is what we all know in the in the 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:53.120 wilderness i hope we ask any every every 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:54.720 one of you to read your Bible daily i 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.320 think you have read your Bible in the 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.199 exercise of the universe of God daily if 00:14:59.199 --> 00:15:01.360 you are truly a student of the universe 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.600 of God you are reading your Bible daily 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.279 as you read this morning I can tell you 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.480 I read my Bible I'm full Ruth chapter 1 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.040 vers4 but if we read the book of Luke 00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:14.160 read your Bible every day there is no 00:15:14.160 --> 00:15:16.880 way we can grow in consciousness of 00:15:16.880 --> 00:15:19.399 God's presence without the daily 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.160 bread when Jesus taught us how to pray 00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:25.639 is father give us today our daily 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.399 bread when Jesus spoke to the Pharisees 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.360 he said Moses gave you the mana but my 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.839 father gave you the bread from heaven 00:15:33.839 --> 00:15:36.480 who eats my flesh and drinks my blood 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.399 jesus Christ is the living word who 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:39.320 became 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.000 flesh that rock we are talking about is 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.959 Christ the foundation of the temple is 00:15:44.959 --> 00:15:46.639 Jesus 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:49.839 who is Jesus the living word the word of 00:15:49.839 --> 00:15:51.320 life in your 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:55.000 heart is the lordship of Christ in 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:58.560 you take note of that the word of Christ 00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:01.600 in your heart is the lordship of Christ 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.480 in you meaning that Christ and the word 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:06.320 are one so when the word of God is in 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.800 your heart Jesus is in your heart that's 00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:10.639 why we have the presence of God the 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.279 spirit of God through his word in our 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.680 heart and that is how we have that 00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:17.360 miracle we talked about at the beginning 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:19.920 that the God who created us dwells 00:16:19.920 --> 00:16:23.440 within our hearts through his word and 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.240 by his spirit take note through his word 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.680 by his spirit this means the word of 00:16:29.680 --> 00:16:33.680 life dwelling inside of us is Christ 00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:37.199 building his nature in us as that word 00:16:37.199 --> 00:16:40.639 of life rules our heart discipline our 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.440 spirit and produce the nature of God in 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.240 us the fruit of the 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.839 spirit that's why God looks at you when 00:16:47.839 --> 00:16:49.560 it comes to him is this my 00:16:49.560 --> 00:16:52.160 temple how do we know that God is in the 00:16:52.160 --> 00:16:54.160 temple by the living presence of the 00:16:54.160 --> 00:16:57.040 Holy Spirit in your heart when God looks 00:16:57.040 --> 00:16:59.440 at you he will seize the spirit of God 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.040 inside of you his light his presence 00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:06.000 the question is there is something to be 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.720 in the presence of God there's another 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.000 thing to be aware of God's presence you 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:13.760 mean you can be in the presence of God 00:17:13.760 --> 00:17:16.079 without actually being aware of it is 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.000 that right that's what Jesus said jesus 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.000 say destroy this temple in 3 days I will 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.199 raise it up oh my God the god they were 00:17:25.199 --> 00:17:28.079 worshiping in the temple in the ritual 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:30.720 came in b form in Christ and say I am he 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:32.880 and they didn't even know they didn't 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:34.160 know that that was the day of their 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.799 visitation that's why Jesus wept over 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.760 them and I think that's actually so 00:17:39.760 --> 00:17:41.840 critical for us to understand today it's 00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:44.160 not just referring to the religious 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.000 leaders or even the people that saw 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.080 Jesus physically during his earthly 00:17:48.080 --> 00:17:51.840 ministry many of us can have the 00:17:51.840 --> 00:17:53.440 presence of God or be in the midst of 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.919 the presence of God and not be aware and 00:17:55.919 --> 00:17:59.280 that's a big that's dramatic m I can go 00:17:59.280 --> 00:18:02.000 to church service oh what a wonderful 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.960 message oh the pastor the preach i saw 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:06.720 the choir i saw the beauty you look in 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.400 the temple as the Pharisees are doing 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.120 going to church is not a natural thing 00:18:13.120 --> 00:18:15.440 it it's a it's a thing of God that 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.039 reminds me of something prophet Joshua 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.039 said do you remember he said it was 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:20.960 something he told us disciples he said 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.559 that everywhere I go is holy because I 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:28.000 see that place as holy meaning that that 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.160 reverence for God he had it in every 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:31.919 single place for example if he entered 00:18:31.919 --> 00:18:34.480 the studio if anywhere he went he would 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.320 he would have reverence for God in that 00:18:36.320 --> 00:18:38.120 place because he saw that place as holy 00:18:38.120 --> 00:18:40.640 ground because he recognized the spirit 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.799 of God everywhere that followed him and 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:44.799 that's why he treated the everywhere 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.440 with such reverence and respect because 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.120 he had that awareness of Christ's 00:18:49.120 --> 00:18:50.960 presence that's why they say be 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.440 conscious of your faith m be conscious 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:57.440 of Christ's presence everywhere you go 00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.320 now if you 00:18:59.320 --> 00:19:02.080 yourself you are an embodiment of the 00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:03.480 Holy 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.039 Spirit mean the Lord God himself Christ 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:09.440 abide in your heart through faith 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:13.280 ephesians chapter 34-19 00:19:13.280 --> 00:19:16.000 can we read Ephesians chapter 3 to verse 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:20.080 14 to 19 for this reason I bow my knees 00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:22.720 to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.039 from whom the whole family in heaven and 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.760 on earth is named that he would grant 00:19:27.760 --> 00:19:30.080 you according to the riches of his glory 00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:32.240 to be strengthened with might through 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:35.440 his spirit in the inner man that Christ 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.559 may dwell in your hearts through faith 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:40.559 christ may dwell in your heart through 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:43.120 faith where Holy Spirit takes the place 00:19:43.120 --> 00:19:45.200 of Christ in our life so when you 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.480 believe in Jesus Christ for 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:49.039 righteousness sake and God confirm your 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:51.440 faith he will baptize you in the spirit 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.280 of his son and you have the very 00:19:53.280 --> 00:19:55.840 presence of God in your heart in the 00:19:55.840 --> 00:19:58.720 person of the Holy Spirit 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.600 this is 00:20:00.600 -->

it that's the mystery of 00:20:11.679 --> 00:20:13.200 godliness the Bible is talking about 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.400 yeah the the mystery of of grace that 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:20.440 earthly vessels like us jars of 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:24.559 clay we can have the divine presence of 00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:26.960 God in us and that truly is the greatest 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:28.880 mystery that's the wisdom of the 00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.520 almighty God 00:20:31.520 --> 00:20:33.520 god did not choose to live in big 00:20:33.520 --> 00:20:35.280 palaces 00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:37.520 when Solomon built the temple Solomon 00:20:37.520 --> 00:20:41.520 said "Will God abide in the temple built 00:20:41.520 --> 00:20:44.559 by man?" God whom the heavens and the 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:47.120 earth cannot receive 00:20:47.120 --> 00:20:50.120 cannot dwell in the temple built by 00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:54.400 man if him can say that him who built 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:57.840 the temple itself he's saying "Will God 00:20:57.840 --> 00:21:01.120 abide in the temple built by man?" 00:21:01.120 --> 00:21:02.520 That's what he said 00:21:02.520 --> 00:21:06.159 himself if Salom can say that why those 00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:07.919 who so much trust in the temple on the 00:21:07.919 --> 00:21:10.320 outside will value the temple more than 00:21:10.320 --> 00:21:12.000 the one who is greater in the temple 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:13.240 that is 00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:15.919 Jesus but they could not see it because 00:21:15.919 --> 00:21:17.919 their eyes were closed their heart was 00:21:17.919 --> 00:21:22.760 closed they didn't know who Jesus was 00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.400 Jesus is Lord over everything we do 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.480 first king 8 27 so Jesus said destroy 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:34.159 this temple in 3 days I will raise it up 00:21:34.159 --> 00:21:36.640 that's what the Lord is saying 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.440 but will God indeed dwell on the earth 00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:42.720 behold heaven and the heaven of heavens 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.520 cannot contain you how much less this 00:21:45.520 --> 00:21:48.720 temple which I have built you hear that 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:51.440 first Kings 8:27 that's what Solomon 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:52.960 said 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:55.520 so why do the Pharisees and Sadducees 00:21:55.520 --> 00:21:57.760 pay so much attention and they forgot 00:21:57.760 --> 00:22:00.120 the words that Solomon said 00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:02.640 himself and greater than Salom was in 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:05.840 the presence is Jesus and don't forget 00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:08.799 they crucified Jesus because Jesus say I 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:09.799 am 00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:15.200 he I and my father we are one 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.559 this means truth can come but we can 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:19.960 resist the 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:24.480 truth so The temple of God is in spirit 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:27.440 god is spirit and the temple God choose 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:33.039 is raw when I say raw R a W raw from God 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.080 this body is not built by man look at 00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:39.000 Ruth look at me this body came from God 00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:41.919 raw not stone living stone this is the 00:22:41.919 --> 00:22:46.240 temple God choose to dwell this fragile 00:22:46.520 --> 00:22:49.360 body whether you are tall whether you 00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:51.919 are short whether you can walk or you 00:22:51.919 --> 00:22:54.960 cannot walk whether you you you lack one 00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:57.760 hand or one leg but as long as you have 00:22:57.760 --> 00:22:59.120 the spirit of God you are the temple of 00:22:59.120 --> 00:23:01.440 the most high God because we're made to 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.159 be like Jesus not in our not in the 00:23:04.159 --> 00:23:06.559 outside but in our heart in our heart 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:09.200 that's why we're made to be like Jesus 00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.520 that's why Jesus said there's one reason 00:23:11.520 --> 00:23:14.080 why they could not see that it takes the 00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:16.000 grace of God to understand that 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.159 spiritual things 00:23:18.159 --> 00:23:20.559 that's the reason why the Bible says 00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:22.120 clearly in the book of Isaiah chapter 00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:24.960 6:9 prophet Isaiah says something can we 00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:28.400 go to Isaiah 6:9 and remember the same 00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.640 thing happened to us today and he said 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.760 "Go tell these people keep on hearing 00:23:33.760 --> 00:23:36.559 but do not understand keep on seeing but 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:39.120 do not perceive make the heart of this 00:23:39.120 --> 00:23:41.520 people dull and their eyes heavy and 00:23:41.520 --> 00:23:43.600 shut their eyes lest they see with their 00:23:43.600 --> 00:23:45.360 eyes and hear with their ears and 00:23:45.360 --> 00:23:48.320 understand with their heart and return 00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:50.159 this is exactly be healed whom the 00:23:50.159 --> 00:23:52.000 prophet is talking he's talking when 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.919 Jesus will be revealed to them this is 00:23:53.919 --> 00:23:55.760 how they will treat him can you explain 00:23:55.760 --> 00:23:57.840 this portion because it's I will I want 00:23:57.840 --> 00:23:59.200 to take over Bible and say keep on 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:01.600 hearing the message keep on hear the 00:24:01.600 --> 00:24:03.840 parable of Jesus keep on hearing the 00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:06.480 preaching of the word of God but 00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:08.640 continue do not understand do not 00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:11.840 understand this is the key 00:24:11.840 --> 00:24:16.240 the first element of faith is spiritual 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:18.159 understanding but was he telling them 00:24:18.159 --> 00:24:19.679 not to understand or was he just saying 00:24:19.679 --> 00:24:21.679 that they do not understand yeah I'm 00:24:21.679 --> 00:24:26.400 coming to that god said because God knew 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.200 in his mercy in his favor that nobody by 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:32.240 self-righteousness can know who Jesus is 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:33.760 unless you are helped by the Holy Spirit 00:24:33.760 --> 00:24:35.600 m 00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:37.440 you can be the most religious people 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:38.679 doing your 00:24:38.679 --> 00:24:41.520 rituals but to know who Jesus Christ is 00:24:41.520 --> 00:24:44.960 is the mighty grace of God 1 Corinthians 00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.200 12:13 says no one can say Jesus is the 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.760 Lord without the help by the Holy Ghost 00:24:49.760 --> 00:24:51.200 the Holy Spirit many people can say it 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.240 is impossible the mere man but if the 00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.400 Holy Ghost open your eyes to see who 00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:58.559 Jesus Christ is you will know who Jesus 00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:01.279 is in spirit or in truth he's saying the 00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:04.240 prophet is saying when Jesus will come 00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:06.080 you will look it with your natural eyes 00:25:06.080 --> 00:25:08.120 but your spiritual eyes will be 00:25:08.120 --> 00:25:10.760 blind and you will not understand his 00:25:10.760 --> 00:25:13.440 words when they say destroy this temple 00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:16.320 in 3 days I will raise it up John 2:1 19 00:25:16.320 --> 00:25:18.159 they refer to the temple of building 00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:20.880 Jesus were referring to his body if they 00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:23.360 were spiritual they would know this man 00:25:23.360 --> 00:25:25.039 he is talking about himself so that 00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:26.559 means they heard Jesus but they didn't 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:28.880 understand what he said absolutely 00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:30.799 because the word was spiritual that's 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.039 why Jesus spoke to them in parable all 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.760 the time to confirm the saying of Isaiah 00:25:35.760 --> 00:25:37.679 mean you can read the Bible in the 00:25:37.679 --> 00:25:39.360 letter and not understand the meaning in 00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:41.679 the spirit so does that mean even today 00:25:41.679 --> 00:25:43.840 so many of us we can read this Bible we 00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:45.919 can read the letters on the page but not 00:25:45.919 --> 00:25:47.200 understand it because the word is 00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:48.799 spiritual that's why we need the holy 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.679 spirit that's why in the new testament 2 00:25:51.679 --> 00:25:54.240 corinthians chapter 3 verse 56 talk 00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:57.480 called the ministry of the holy 00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:00.799 spirit for the letter kills but the 00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:02.679 spirit gives 00:26:02.679 --> 00:26:05.400 life so now we can be very 00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:07.679 religious we can do ritual on the 00:26:07.679 --> 00:26:10.159 outside but what is the meaning in the 00:26:10.159 --> 00:26:12.640 spirit for God and that's what God God 00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:16.520 says in spirit and in 00:26:16.520 --> 00:26:19.840 truth when you look at the temple if 00:26:19.840 --> 00:26:21.840 you're led by the Holy Spirit you will 00:26:21.840 --> 00:26:24.240 know this man is the truth jesus I am 00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:28.000 the way jesus said I am the way i am the 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:31.200 truth i am the life no one comes to the 00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:33.520 father except through me that's what the 00:26:33.520 --> 00:26:35.080 Lord 00:26:35.080 --> 00:26:38.960 says to know that way it demands 00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:41.960 revelation that was the way of 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.360 God that's why I'm coming to say to you 00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:48.039 when God instructed Moses to build the 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:51.600 tabernacle God showed to Moses an image 00:26:51.600 --> 00:26:54.000 of the tabernacle in heaven whatever 00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:56.600 Moses did was in absolute obedience to 00:26:56.600 --> 00:26:59.279 God and at the end Moses said in 00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.960 Jerusalem chapter 18 a prophet will come 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:06.159 one day listen to him and one day Jesus 00:27:06.159 --> 00:27:08.559 came to fulfill all those scriptures and 00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:10.480 stood in the midst of his people why 00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:11.640 they could not 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:16.240 understand why Moses said it before why 00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:18.240 they could not see but Jesus was saying 00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:20.799 yes keep on seeing but do not perceive 00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:22.799 mean keep on seeing me just with your 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:24.559 naked eyes but you cannot see what is in 00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:25.840 my heart do you know who I But the way 00:27:25.840 --> 00:27:28.320 it's written is is Isaiah saying that 00:27:28.320 --> 00:27:31.039 people should not or that they cannot no 00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:33.440 people cannot what the way it's written 00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:35.600 as if he's saying that what what Isaiah 00:27:35.600 --> 00:27:36.440 is 00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:39.520 saying that if the people don't forget 00:27:39.520 --> 00:27:43.440 at that moment the people abandon God 00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:46.320 the people follow foreign gods the Bal 00:27:46.320 --> 00:27:48.320 and many of them were about to be 00:27:48.320 --> 00:27:51.120 deported to foreign land and the prophet 00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:52.799 was calling them to come back to God in 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:54.960 spirit and in truth 00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:56.559 and God said "These people are stiff 00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.159 necked." So Isaiah is saying to 00:27:59.159 --> 00:28:01.760 them "Keep on saying." God said to 00:28:01.760 --> 00:28:05.120 himself God made a promise that all the 00:28:05.120 --> 00:28:07.960 nations shall be blessed in the seed of 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.200 Abraham that's what God said but God in 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:13.640 his wisdom 00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:16.640 allow those called the pagans the 00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.480 nations to receive the light first 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.559 before them that's the wisdom of God 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:24.640 the Bible says it's not the first from 00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:27.279 the natural but the first in the spirit 00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:28.720 when Paul preached the gospel they 00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:30.640 reject him as they reject Jesus he say 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.360 I'm going to the nations we are the 00:28:33.360 --> 00:28:36.399 nations we are not Jews by birth but the 00:28:36.399 --> 00:28:40.080 Bible say we are Jew in the spirit 00:28:40.080 --> 00:28:42.159 when they come Holy Ghost can open our 00:28:42.159 --> 00:28:44.480 eyes to see what they refuse to see in 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:46.320 because they they were clinging to the 00:28:46.320 --> 00:28:48.320 letter and they don't want to let the 00:28:48.320 --> 00:28:51.120 letter go but the Bible say Christ is 00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:52.640 the end of the law for everybody who 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:55.679 believes it was so difficult for them 00:28:55.679 --> 00:28:58.240 what they stood for for so many years to 00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:02.080 abandon it to see who Jesus was but you 00:29:02.080 --> 00:29:04.480 know people that read this in the letter 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:06.960 they can read this portion of Isaiah and 00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:08.640 you know it read it again from beginning 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.600 okay then I said to them then I said 00:29:11.600 --> 00:29:14.320 "Here I am send me." No before that go 00:29:14.320 --> 00:29:16.880 verse eight and I also heard the voice 00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:20.080 of the Lord saying "Whom shall I send?" 00:29:20.080 --> 00:29:22.720 Whom shall I send to these people yes 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:25.600 then I said "Here am I send me." Mhm and 00:29:25.600 --> 00:29:28.320 he said "Go and tell this people keep on 00:29:28.320 --> 00:29:30.880 hearing but do not understand keep on 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.039 seeing but do not perceive make the 00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:35.039 heart of this people dull and their eyes 00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:37.440 heavy and shut their eyes sorry and 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:39.440 their ears heavy and shut their eyes 00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:41.279 lest they see with their eyes and hear 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:43.039 with their ears and understand with 00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:44.720 their heart and return and be healed 00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:46.559 what this vers is saying so it's it's 00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:48.240 like he didn't want them to be healed no 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:50.720 God no that's not that what got you 00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:54.360 saved because they attrous 00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:57.039 and God is telling you by your own 00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:59.679 strength you can never be saved 00:29:59.679 --> 00:30:01.679 by your own religious purity you can 00:30:01.679 --> 00:30:04.559 never be righteous before God m if you 00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:06.399 continue to do your and you you refuse 00:30:06.399 --> 00:30:08.960 to listen to me without my help you 00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:11.600 can't see the truth if you abandon God 00:30:11.600 --> 00:30:13.279 if you abandon Holy Spirit there's no 00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:15.760 way you can see God if you say there's 00:30:15.760 --> 00:30:17.760 no God you reject God how will you know 00:30:17.760 --> 00:30:20.279 the truth the only helper is the Holy 00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:23.480 Spirit now God 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.960 said I'm sending you to the prophets the 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:28.799 prophet came they rejected the voice of 00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:32.000 the prophets they killed some they 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.760 rejected the words because the word they 00:30:33.760 --> 00:30:36.720 speak they didn't like it they was 00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:38.320 clinging to their tradition but the 00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:41.600 prophet say your words are bad reform 00:30:41.600 --> 00:30:43.080 yourself and they refuse to reform 00:30:43.080 --> 00:30:45.520 themselves that was the issue because 00:30:45.520 --> 00:30:48.640 the prophetic word is a sword jesus said 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:50.240 the world hates me because I said that 00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:53.919 their works are evil so Isaiah is saying 00:30:53.919 --> 00:30:56.440 send me to them god 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.440 said "I'm sending you but seal their 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.039 eyes lest this." That's why Jesus came 00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:04.919 to speak in parable to fulfill that 00:31:04.919 --> 00:31:08.559 prophecy jesus said it go to Matthew 00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.919 chapter 13 verse 11 jesus came to 00:31:11.919 --> 00:31:13.919 fulfill this this mean no one can know 00:31:13.919 --> 00:31:16.000 who Jesus Christ is without the Holy 00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:18.799 Spirit it takes revelation from heaven 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.480 to know God and the things of God mean 00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.840 you need the mercy of God mercy is given 00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:27.440 to everyone who is humble to learn from 00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:31.760 God 1313 Yes therefore I speak to them 00:31:31.760 --> 00:31:34.080 in parables i speak to them in parable 00:31:34.080 --> 00:31:36.080 because seeing they do not see seeing 00:31:36.080 --> 00:31:37.760 they do not see that's why as I said and 00:31:37.760 --> 00:31:39.440 hearing they do not hear and hearing do 00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:41.600 not hear me Jesus I was talk to them but 00:31:41.600 --> 00:31:42.960 they would not understand because grace 00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:45.919 was not given to them at that moment why 00:31:45.919 --> 00:31:49.039 god in his fornowledge wanted you and me 00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:51.279 to believe in Jesus first before the 00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.080 people believe 00:31:53.080 --> 00:31:56.000 Jesus that's what the Bible says that's 00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.840 the wisdom of God it's election of 00:31:58.840 --> 00:32:01.640 grace it's not natural descent 00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:03.679 automatic righteousness is from the 00:32:03.679 --> 00:32:06.720 blood no it's from God and that's the 00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.559 biggest difference so that's what it 00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:10.799 means that salvation is personal is 00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:13.360 personal to people so that's what it 00:32:13.360 --> 00:32:15.679 means that salvation is personal two or 00:32:15.679 --> 00:32:17.679 three people I mean they can be from the 00:32:17.679 --> 00:32:20.399 same family but have a very different 00:32:20.399 --> 00:32:22.720 relationship with God we it also mean 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.519 there are two principles in salvation 00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:27.440 god said to Abraham that's the promise 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.559 of Abraham god said take your son Isaac 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:33.279 and go on sacrifice it to me in the 00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:35.760 natural it's crazy but God was saying 00:32:35.760 --> 00:32:37.519 something to reveal how Jesus will come 00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.720 there now God said two things he 00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:44.240 revealed the principle of redemption by 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:46.000 the lamb of God who will come to die for 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:48.880 humankind that is Jesus and Josephus 00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:51.440 came say repent the kingdom is at hand 00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.480 they refused to listen to him 00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:55.440 again they said what are you saying what 00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:57.120 kind of repentance are you saying jesus 00:32:57.120 --> 00:32:59.200 say if you abide in my word you will 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:00.480 know the truth and the truth will set 00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:01.760 you free what kind of truth are you 00:33:01.760 --> 00:33:03.919 talking about we are never been slave to 00:33:03.919 --> 00:33:06.240 anybody john chapter 8 verse 32 whatever 00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:08.240 they said to Jesus now Jesus said 00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:11.720 "Whoever commits sin is slave to 00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:14.240 sin the slave will not abide in the 00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:16.880 house forever but the son abides in the 00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:19.200 house whom the son of God says free is 00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:20.960 free indeed." They could not understand 00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.200 what he was saying because it was hidden 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:27.039 to them continue reading what Jesus said 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.640 i speak to them in parable mhm therefore 00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:32.399 I speak to them in parables because 00:33:32.399 --> 00:33:34.399 seeing they do not see and hearing they 00:33:34.399 --> 00:33:36.799 do not hear nor do they understand and 00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:38.559 in them the prophecy of Isaiah is 00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:40.720 fulfilled which says "Hearing you will 00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:42.880 hear and shall not understand seeing you 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.039 will see and not perceive for the hearts 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.200 of this people have grown dull their 00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:49.519 ears are hard of hearing and their eyes 00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.240 have been they have closed lest they 00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.159 should see with their ears and hear with 00:33:54.159 --> 00:33:56.159 their see with their eyes and hear with 00:33:56.159 --> 00:33:57.840 their ears lest they should understand 00:33:57.840 --> 00:34:00.240 with their hearts and turn so that I 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:03.120 should heal them this means to be healed 00:34:03.120 --> 00:34:05.039 salvation is healing of your spirit soul 00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.120 and body for that to happen the heart 00:34:07.120 --> 00:34:08.960 you need a new heart that's why Jesus 00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:12.720 said to Nicodemus you must be born again 00:34:12.720 --> 00:34:16.320 and that is the key salvation is is not 00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:18.879 for everyone but for those who have been 00:34:18.879 --> 00:34:21.679 predestined to receive it god has given 00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:24.000 salvation to everybody who believes in 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.320 Jesus Christ but to believe in Jesus you 00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:29.359 need the Holy Spirit anybody can confess 00:34:29.359 --> 00:34:32.000 Jesus is Lord but to have the revelation 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:34.560 of who Jesus is 00:34:34.560 --> 00:34:36.560 now you must know who Jesus is in the 00:34:36.560 --> 00:34:38.720 spirit and in truth from your spirit 00:34:38.720 --> 00:34:40.240 from your heart that's where faith come 00:34:40.240 --> 00:34:42.079 not from your mouth you can confess 00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:44.320 Jesus with your mouth but your heart 00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.280 must believe first his resurrection that 00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:49.359 he's Lord 00:34:49.359 --> 00:34:51.359 and that is a key and vital verse in the 00:34:51.359 --> 00:34:52.119 Holy 00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:54.399 Bible can you read the verse again read 00:34:54.399 --> 00:34:56.240 it again for the pass read it again 00:34:56.240 --> 00:34:58.880 gently it's key verse which one the one 00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:02.000 you just read what Jesus said therefore 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.119 I speak to them in parables so now Jesus 00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:07.440 speak in parables and this gospel we 00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.000 read are all in parable so we are 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:11.920 reading parables every day do you 00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:13.440 understand the meaning of the parable 00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:15.839 Jesus is saying if you don't understand 00:35:15.839 --> 00:35:17.760 we need the help of holy spirit to 00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:20.160 understand therefore I speak to them in 00:35:20.160 --> 00:35:22.960 parables because seeing they do not see 00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:25.400 and hearing they do not hear nor do they 00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:27.839 understand and in them the prophecy of 00:35:27.839 --> 00:35:30.480 Isaiah is fulfilled which says "Hearing 00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:32.880 you will hear and shall not understand 00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:35.839 and seeing you will see and not perceive 00:35:35.839 --> 00:35:37.920 for the hearts of this people have grown 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.960 dull the heart is dull their ears are 00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:42.640 hard of hearing the ears mean your 00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:45.119 conscience is dead their eyes they have 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:47.520 closed their spiritual eyes are closed 00:35:47.520 --> 00:35:50.400 lest they should see with their ears see 00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:52.480 with their eyes and hear with their ears 00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:54.160 lest they should understand with their 00:35:54.160 --> 00:35:57.680 hearts to understand something is a key 00:35:57.680 --> 00:35:59.079 if you don't understand you will not 00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:03.119 believe yes and turn so that I should 00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:05.359 heal them so the true principle of 00:36:05.359 --> 00:36:06.960 salvation we talk about God revealed 00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:10.079 into Abraham first the principle of 00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:12.640 redemption when Jesus died for you 00:36:12.640 --> 00:36:15.520 second the principle of election by 00:36:15.520 --> 00:36:18.880 grace election by grace mean it's not 00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:21.160 your natural descendant but God that 00:36:21.160 --> 00:36:24.079 chooses jacob was not the firstborn was 00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:27.359 Esau but God choose a small one and give 00:36:27.359 --> 00:36:29.560 him the inheritance and not 00:36:29.560 --> 00:36:34.000 Esau joseph was the children of Ephraim 00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:34.680 and 00:36:34.680 --> 00:36:37.760 Manassa jacob said in Genesis 48 these 00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.160 two children I adopt them they are my 00:36:40.160 --> 00:36:41.520 children in the name of the God of 00:36:41.520 --> 00:36:43.440 Abraham Isaac and Jacob he never give 00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:45.280 the blessing to his natural seed he gave 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.040 him to the children of Joseph that's the 00:36:47.040 --> 00:36:49.920 principle of adoption two things 00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:51.880 salvation two 00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:54.960 principle jesus died for us we have 00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:57.520 election by grace god has predestined 00:36:57.520 --> 00:37:00.079 you for salvation before you are born 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.640 election of grace but you will enter by 00:37:02.640 --> 00:37:04.640 faith 00:37:04.640 --> 00:37:07.520 number two the principle of adoption 00:37:07.520 --> 00:37:09.440 mean God to receive the promise of 00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:11.599 Abraham and the name of Abraham you must 00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:13.760 be adopted by God himself through the 00:37:13.760

00:37:31.200 power nor by might nor by blood but by 00:37:31.200 --> 00:37:33.520 God who chooses so who elects and God 00:37:33.520 --> 00:37:35.440 does not choose the older one god choose 00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:37.400 the small one choose the 00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:40.079 weak it's not natural descendant that 00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:41.760 give you the inheritance it's election

Jesus is 00:38:07.520 --> 00:38:10.240 in spirit and in truth but we can pray 00:38:10.240 --> 00:38:12.560 for that revelation that is it if you 00:38:12.560 --> 00:38:13.920 when you are born again

He say "Who are you i 00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:53.200 am Jesus oh my God." Revelation came 00:41:53.200 --> 00:41:55.040 understand he came and he bowed down he 00:41:55.040 --> 00:41:59.599 say "Lord what do you want me to do?" 00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:02.319 Jesus is not a man a mere man he's the 00:42:02.319 --> 00:42:05.280 Lord God it takes God to understand that 00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:08.240 that's why 1 Corinthians 12:3 say no one 00:42:08.240 --> 00:42:10.079 can say Jesus is Lord unless you are 00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:12.200 helped by the Holy Spirit of 00:42:12.200 --> 00:42:14.880 revelation so now I'm coming back to 00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.839 what I was saying today we go to church 00:42:17.839 --> 00:42:19.359 it's good to go to church go to your 00:42:19.359 --> 00:42:23.440 church local church but today the walls 00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:26.960 of our church the building of our church 00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:28.560 seems to be more important than the body 00:42:28.560 --> 00:42:29.800 of 00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:31.920 Christ the church we treat the church 00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:34.079 like a black like the temple of Solomon 00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:36.160 it's not a physical temple what is 00:42:36.160 --> 00:42:37.839 important is not the building the people 00:42:37.839 --> 00:42:39.359 inside the building are more important 00:42:39.359 --> 00:42:41.560 than the building itself 00:42:41.560 --> 00:42:44.480 you the church is the God family those 00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:46.720 who are born again that's why we go to 00:42:46.720 --> 00:42:48.880 the church to worship God in spirit and 00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:51.119 in truth when you are going to church 00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:52.800 you go supernaturally because you're 00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:54.319 going to the presence of God because the 00:42:54.319 --> 00:42:56.880 Lord is with you already 00:42:56.880 --> 00:42:59.680 h so when people are saved we come 00:42:59.680 --> 00:43:01.680 together ecclessia in the church to 00:43:01.680 --> 00:43:03.920 worship God in the spirit

00:43:25.520 Christian in heart who is a Jew in heart 00:43:25.520 --> 00:43:26.960 who is the children of God in heart 00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:28.800 let's listen to what Paul say but he is 00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:31.680 not a Jew who is one outwardly nor is 00:43:31.680 --> 00:43:33.599 circumcision that which is outward in 00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:36.160 the flesh but he is a Jew who is one 00:43:36.160 --> 00:43:38.880 inwardly and circumcision is that of the 00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:41.920 heart in the spirit not in the letter 00:43:41.920 --> 00:43:44.560 whose praise is not from

worship him must 00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:25.680 worship him in spirit and in truth so 00:44:25.680 --> 00:44:27.440 the essence of the true temple of the 00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:30.640 true church is Christ in you the hope of 00:44:30.640 --> 00:44:32.880 glory we are talking about the reality 00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:36.240 of God when we are too religious 00:44:36.240 --> 00:44:38.240 following rituals that's why we we hit 00:44:38.240 --> 00:44:40.240 the rock as the Pharisee hit the rock 00:44:40.240 --> 00:44:41.240 and couldn't 00:44:41.240 --> 00:44:43.520 understand you yourself you

00:46:25.760 these 12 pieces of bread this is just a 00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:28.560 picture but reality there was two two 00:46:28.560 --> 00:46:30.960 pillars like this and six six here and 00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:32.560 now there was a lampstand god said to 00:46:32.560 --> 00:46:35.040 Moses build a lampstand let him shed 00:46:35.040 --> 00:46:38.160 light on the show bread here and there 00:46:38.160 --> 00:46:41.839 was the altar of incense here so when 00:46:41.839 --> 00:46:43.800 the priest enter this 00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:46.240 place they will make sure there's enough 00:46:46.240 --> 00:46:50.400 oil to lit the lamp stand and this light 00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:53.200 was on the show bread which they replace 00:46:53.200 --> 00:46:54.200 every 00:46:54.200 --> 00:46:58.440 week and here you put 00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:02.240 incense the incense will enter here this 00:47:02.240 --> 00:47:04.560 is was in the natural right and this 00:47:04.560 --> 00:47:07.599 place was a hol most holy place that the 00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:09.760 high priest will enter once per year in 00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:12.079 the day of yum yum kipur nobody can

covenant is why we 00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:20.680 are saying that we we have to go to 00:47:20.680 --> 00:47:22.880 maturity because many people say don't 00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:24.640 we don't even read the old testament we 00:47:24.640 --> 00:47:26.400 have don't understand what it means and 00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:28.000 today we realize that many people are 00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.520 preaching the old testament principle in 00:47:29.520 --> 00:47:31.800 the new testament and people are 00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:34.640 confused the bible is clear in the new 00:47:34.640 --> 00:47:36.880 testament we follow the law of the 00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:39.520 spirit of life in Christ Jesus and 00:47:39.520 --> 00:47:41.599 that's the New Testament we have to 00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:43.839 worship God in spirit and in truth 00:47:43.839 --> 00:47:45.839 whatever we do for God's sake we must be 00:47:45.839 --> 00:47:47.680 led by the Holy Spirit to do it in 00:47:47.680 --> 00:47:50.160 spirit and in truth so when God was 00:47:50.160 --> 00:47:52.960 showing that tabernacle to Moses at that 00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:55.200 time the people enter couldn't enter the 00:47:55.200 --> 00:47:56.960 God's presence only the priest can enter 00:47:56.960 --> 00:47:58.880 the God's presence to offer those 00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:01.400 sacrifices right this 00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:04.880 is the temple the tabernacle Moses built 00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:07.680 so here they will do the sacrifice 00:48:07.680 --> 00:48:09.359 whatever they want people were here in 00:48:09.359 --> 00:48:11.920 the courtyard inside is what called the 00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:14.040 sanctuary where only the priest can 00:48:14.040 --> 00:48:17.440 enter this is Aaron and his family

bread in 00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:25.520 front of the bread there was a 00:48:25.520 --> 00:48:28.559 chandelier a lampstand and the light 00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:31.920 with olive oil was shed on his bread and 00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:34.079 now before he finished his service he 00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:37.040 will put incense here and the veil was 00:48:37.040 --> 00:48:39.680 here there was a veil between the holy 00:48:39.680 --> 00:48:42.000 of holy where the ark of covenant was 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:45.599 and the presence of God this is symbolic 00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:47.760 this is the

your 01:05:22.880 --> 01:05:24.880 relationship with God that's why we are 01:05:24.880 --> 01:05:26.240 going to the household of faith to go 01:05:26.240 --> 01:05:28.160 more deep in these issues yeah someone 01:05:28.160 --> 01:05:32.240 is asking um why is our the voice of our 01:05:32.240 --> 01:05:33.920 physical okay I think you mean our 01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:36.559 physical voice so loud than the voice of 01:05:36.559 --> 01:05:38.960 our inner spirit that's a really good 01:05:38.960 --> 01:05:41.839 question it's a question it's not true 01:05:41.839 --> 01:05:44.400 why it's loud to this ears only hear 01:05:44.400 --> 01:05:47.599 your voice seem loud but this voice in 01:05:47.599 --> 01:05:50.799 your heart in that frequency is so clear 01:05:50.799 --> 01:05:52.160 no that's that's what I want to say it 01:05:52.160 --> 01:05:54.720 depends which frequency you're tuned to 01:05:54.720 --> 01:05:56.880 because if you're if you're tuned just 01:05:56.880 --> 01:05:59.680 to uh the fleshly frequency if you're 01:05:59.680 --> 01:06:01.039 just concentrating on the things of the 01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:04.720 flesh then definitely you're you're 01:06:04.720 --> 01:06:06.400 going to think the voice your physical 01:06:06.400 --> 01:06:08.000 voice is louder than the one in your 01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:10.720 spirit it's all about obey obedience if 01:06:10.720 --> 01:06:14.480 we obey the voice of our spirit then it 01:06:14.480 --> 01:06:16.799 means that that voice will become louder 01:06:16.799 --> 01:06:18.960 in our heart every time we obey that 01:06:18.960 --> 01:06:20.799 still small voice within us and we obey 01:06:20.799 --> 01:06:22.319 the word of God that voice will become 01:06:22.319 --> 01:06:24.559 louder be easier to recognize easier to 01:06:24.559 --> 01:06:26.799 hear because our conscience is tuned to 01:06:26.799 --> 01:06:30.240 it but if we keep on falling into 01:06:30.240 --> 01:06:32.960 temptation we keep on uh disobeying the 01:06:32.960 --> 01:06:35.599 word of God the voice becomes more 01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:37.599 difficult for us to hear because we our 01:06:37.599 --> 01:06:39.520 flesh is so strong we keep feeding our 01:06:39.520 --> 01:06:41.280 flesh and we're starving our spirit 01:06:41.280 --> 01:06:43.680 that's why anytime they're in a combat 01:06:43.680 --> 01:06:45.520 definitely the flesh will win because 01:06:45.520 --> 01:06:48.880 we're not feeding our our spirit so in 01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:50.960 answer to your question in order for the 01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:52.559 voice of your spirit to be louder you 01:06:52.559 --> 01:06:54.079 have to feed your spirit you have to 01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:56.160 nurture your spirit you have to obey the 01:06:56.160 --> 01:06:59.039 word of God and you can only do that by 01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:01.920 the help of the Holy Spirit that is it 01:07:01.920 --> 01:07:05.119 it is it is not complicated it requires 01:07:05.119 --> 01:07:07.680 humility and hunger and thirst for 01:07:07.680 --> 01:07:09.839 righteousness for God's word when the 01:07:09.839 --> 01:07:11.839 Holy Spirit come he will do things he 01:07:11.839 --> 01:07:13.880 will open your spiritual 01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:16.480 eyes the book of Proverbs chapter 20 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:21.039 says clearly that eyes that can see 01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:23.520 ears that can hear a heart that can 01:07:23.520 --> 01:07:26.319 understand is a gift from God he will 01:07:26.319 --> 01:07:28.880 open your eyes to see spiritual
