-
so I just want to pray for us lord help
-
us every day to be disciplined to read
-
your word to speak it out to hear
-
ourselves
-
there is a second half to his mission
-
and that he will not come as a suffering
-
servant but as a conquering king he will
-
not come as a meek lamb but he will come
-
as a roaring lion and when he comes the
-
second time it will not be to die for
-
our sins but it will be to judge the
-
world of their sins and to establish his
-
kingdom upon the earth

[Music]
-
good morning everyone
-
[Music]
-
when I started thinking about our
-
meeting today this morning with God
-
[Music]
-
I was thinking of this upcoming weekend
-
which is Passover
-
and every family in the people of Israel
-
are busy cleaning out their home taking
-
out the yeast the leaven scrubbing every
-
room
-
they work so hard to get deep into it
-
[Music]
-
but I thought we have a gift we have a
-
privilege
-
[Music]
-
and I remembered what King David wrote
-
in Psalm 51 verse 12
-
he spoke about the true cleansing
-
and that's what I feel the Lord wants to
-
speak to us
-
today elohim
-
it says "Create in me a clean heart oh
-
God and renew a steadfast spirit within
-
[Music]
-
me." King David isn't asking for an
-
external
-
cleaning but this is after he sinned
-
with Basha and he wants a true inward
-
deep cleaning
-
and that's what God wants us to ask from
-
him in this
-
season that's what God wants the people
-
of Israel to ask a true
-
[Music]
-
cleansing so Father in heaven thank you
-
for your
-
grace thank you that you only can do
-
true cleansing in our hearts
-
this morning we ask for a true deep
-
cleansing in each and every one of our
-
lives and we ask for true cleansing and
-
forgiveness of sins for the people of
-
Israel
-
[Music]
-
we call on you this morning and we ask
-
for forgiveness of sins
-
that this Passover would be a Passover
-
of deep deep true cleaning and cleansing
-
thank you Lord that you hear prayers
-
[Music]
-
and thank you for your grace
-
[Music]
-
it's also so clear that David saw he
-
couldn't do it himself
-
he said "Create it create it
-
it's something we can't do on our
-
own it's too deep of a clean
-
we could clean maybe a half on our
-
own but the full job is something that
-
only he can do cuz it has to be created
-
a new creation amen
-
[Music]
-
hallelujah let's bring this before
-
only God can create in us a new heart
-
above our
-
expectations hallelujah hallelujah
-
hallelujah

Exodus Passover story more real to us

this year than in at any other time in

out to you where many are desperate for

desperate for you those who can identify

with the Exodus story Lord as probably

none of us uh otherwise can oh God would

you begin Lord to remove that veil
-
that's described in 2 Corinthians
-
chapter 3 where you say that there is a
-
veil over the eyes and hearts and minds
-
of the Jewish people when Moses is read
-
but if anyone turns to the Lord the veil
-
is removed and so God as hearts and
-
minds are turning to you let there be
-
now in this land a uh a piercing a uh
-
tearing apart of that veil even as there
-
was a tearing apart of the veil in the
-
temple of God after the crucifixion let
-
the veil be torn over the minds and
-
hearts of our people as never before
-
that they may behold the lamb of God who
-
takes away the sins of the world and we
-
are in agreement before your throne of
-
grace for the truth of your word that
-
there is no other name given to us under
-
heaven by which we must be saved reveal
-
oh God the true face of Yeshua to our
-
people to your people for in his name

-
Yeshua praying for salvation of Israel
-
out of Romans 10 1
-
or brethren my heart's desire and prayer
-
to God for Israel is that they may be
-
saved for I bear them witness that they
-
have a zeal for God but not according to
-
knowledge for they being ignorant of
-
God's righteousness and seeking to
-
establish their own righteousness have
-
not submitted to the righteousness of
-
God for Messiah is the end of the law
-
for righteousness to everyone who
-
believes
-
father as your son said it's not the
-
healthy that needs a doctor but the sick
-
and we ask Lord God as Lord many are
-
believing whether Jews and Muslims and
-
maybe even some Christians that through
-
their religious works that they can be
-
saved we ask God that Lord you would
-
Lord as that uh tax collector came
-
before you and said God have mercy upon
-
me a sinner god I ask for conviction
-
release the spirit of fear of the Lord
-
God upon Jew and Arab and others Lord
-
God in this city in this land lord that
-
Lord that Yeah apart from your son Lord
-
like that Pharisee that prided himself
-
in prayer and fasting giving alms and
-
looking down at others seeing himself as
-
more righteous you resist the proud but
-
give grace to the humble and so we cry
-
out "Father have mercy for every
-
spiritual pride in this city god we ask
-
for conviction of sin and only that in
-
your son's righteousness will our sin be
-
atoned for only by his blood many call
-
upon the name of Yeshua in this Passover
-
and be saved in Yeshua's name." Amen
-
we make
-
you

the word of God says "For do you not

know that you are the temple of the Holy
-
Spirit and he dwells inside of you?"
-
What a privilege
-
that the spirit of God is in the very
-
DNA of each one of us
-
[Music]
-
and when I think about it there's only
-
one reason
-
[Music]
-
and it's because the very God sitting in
-
the heavens above paid the price for
-
each one of us to be with him yeshua
-
Hamashiach and that's Yeshua the Messiah
-
yeshua Hamashiach the blood of Yeshua
-
the Messiah
-
[Music]
-
[Music]
-
and in order to receive life in order to
-
receive
-
protection it blood needs to be spilled
-
hallelujah
-
[Music]
-
and that's the precious blood of Yeshua
-
our Messiah
-
we can see in Egypt the lamb's blood on
-
the doorpost
-
[Music]
-
that protected the lives of the
-
firstborn of the
-
Jews but the blood of Yeshua the Messiah
-
is not only for the people of Israel
-
it's blood that covers everyone no
-
matter who we
-
[Music]
-
are so thank you Father for your
-
[Music]
-
blood it's blood that doesn't just give
-
protection but it gives eternal
-
[Music]
-
life it's blood that gives life it
-
brings the dead to life
-
[Music]
-
father thank you for reminding us that
-
your blood is so much more powerful
-
the people of Israel need your
-
blood we need in our own lives to
-
recognize the power of your blood
-
thank you for your love and your grace
-
thank you for the price that you paid
-
[Music]
-
and this Passover we bring all the
-
people of Israel before you in
-
[Music]
-
prayer we bring before you all those who
-
have gotten lost
-
[Music]
-
we declare life over every place that is
-
dead and asleep
-
thank you Lord that the blood of Yeshua
-
has overcome the world hallelujah
-
aba Father I just I want to repent for
-
the
-
nations God the nations who do not
-
recognize Pesak
-
Passover God but we just jump right to
-
Easter because Lord it's out of Pesak
-
that you created a
-
people your people the only nation God
-
that you made a covenant
-
with and you have a purpose for
-
Israel always and to the
-
end so Aba Father God I ask on behalf of
-
the nations oh Lord that you would
-
forgive
-
us forgive us oh God for forgetting your
-
people
-
Israel especially at this time of Pesak
-
where so many don't even know what Pesak
-
is
-
but we only think of Easter about Yeshua
-
and we know that is the culmination of
-
everything yeshua you are the king that
-
brings salvation to the
-
world but oh God forgive us
-
Lord forgive us oh God aba
-
father for not
-
remembering
-
Israel we repent God i repent oh God on

inhabitant of Jerusalem and all Israel

pierced Lord and mourned for your son as

spirit the same wind of your spirit that

parted the Red Sea do that for our

people now Lord for your people thank

lord you said through the prophet Isaiah
-
that Israel had had a spirit of harlotry
-
within her that they did not know the
-
Lord moreover the pride of Israel
-
testified against her and Lord you said
-
"I will go away and return to my place
-
until my people acknowledge their guilt
-
and seek my face." In their affliction
-
they will earnestly seek me says the
-
Lord israel responds "Come let us return
-
to the Lord for he has torn us but he
-
will heal us he has wounded us but he
-
will bandage us he will revive us after
-
two days he will raise us up on the
-
third day that we may live before him so
-

the Lord his going forth is as certain
-
as the dawn he will come to us like rain
-
like the spring rain watering the earth

-
season that you would respond to
-
Israel's cry Lord the seeking and the
-
searching Lord that you would come to

the Holy Spirit on Israel that you would
-
pour out the spirit on Jews and Arabs

-
one more prayer before we end right now
-
as we're here praying there's a very
-
heated discussion going on in the
-
Supreme Court which is right
-
there and uh it's so loud I can hear
-
them from my apartment i can hear them
-
screaming uh but uh anyway there's about
-
four or five issues uh here in which
-
there's a clash between the Supreme
-
Court and the um and the executive
-
branch and uh they're they're coming
-
they all come up over the next few
-
months and they really will determine a
-
lot what happens in Israel they're very
-
complex issues the one issue today that
-
they're talking about is whether
-
Netanyah has the right to fire the
-
previous uh Shabbach leader Ronin Bar
-
and but there's several coming up after
-
that and u we as the believers here
-
sometimes are on one side of the issues
-
and sometimes on the other side of the
-
issue so uh we just really need to pray
-
for righteousness this is a key issue
-
and it's kind of a domino effect on a
-
lot of different things we don't want to
-
go into all the politics but we can pray
-
for righteousness so let's just reach
-
out our hands it's right about right
-
over there right on the other side of
-
the kitchen right there father we just
-
thank you Father uh as in with the
-
Supreme Court of Bagots they're
-
discussing right now uh the authority of
-

-
[Music]
-
there's a few points I want to bring in
-
closing that I was thinking
-
[Music]
-
about the power that each and every one
-
of us have here
-
and we said earlier it's by the power of
-
the blood of Yeshua
-
and sometimes we make light of that
-
power we don't think of its power
-
that each and every one of us here
-
[Music]
-
hold that we have forgiveness of sins
-
what mo many people in the world don't
-
have
-
we have a covenant
-
we have life
-
true life
-
we've received such mercy and
-
[Music]
-
grace and the most powerful thing that
-
we have victory at every point in time
-
[Music]
-
and we have unity with God oneness with
-
him and peace with him what many people
-
don't have
-
and one last powerful thing we have is
-
an access into the holy of
-
holies so Father thank you for reminding
-
us of this today
-
thank you for reminding us of your grace
-
and your victory
-
father we are children of God
-
we are beloved
-
and we are overcomers
-
thank you for your grace in Yeshua's
-
name amen amen
-
well it's good uh to see all of you some
-
faces people who were away away for the
-
weekend at a youth camp teaching away uh
-
in different places people back from New
-
Jersey from New from New England from
-
traveling wonderful uh we're continuing
-
today uh in what will be a three-part
-
series today's the second one on uh
-
discernment really is the title uh from
-
Yeshua's temptations in the wilderness
-
in Matthew chapter 4 okay and uh the
-
title of the series is discernment
-
equals three things if you remember
-
first one is identity knowing who you
-
are in God and the second one is of
-
course the word the voice of God
-
understanding and discerning when is God
-
speaking and how and of course obeying
-
obeying that that word and then the
-
third thing is the supernatural
-
discerning what's happening in the
-
spirit in the spiritual realm in the
-
supernatural realm so we talked last
-
time about I'm just going to do a really
-
quick review like in a minute if you
-
remember out of the first
-
temptation Yeshua's finished 40 days of
-
fasting after he was baptized after he
-
heard the voice of the father say "This
-
is my son 40 days are finished it's time
-
to eat he's hungry and he hears a
-
voice." And remember I said uh
-
that went on is that all right
-
sh I'll just hold
-
on that's a good reminder to turn off
-
phones right uh and he we said that um
-
Yeshua was tempted and tested it's the
-
same word just like we are remember that
-
picture I showed you it's not like the
-
devil came to him in a red suit with
-
smoke coming out of his nose and talking
-
like the devil okay because that doesn't
-
require a great deal of discernment most
-
5-year-olds who have watched enough
-
cartoons can discern that that's the bad
-
guy okay he came he he I believe he came
-
the devil came to him just as he comes
-
to us which is through the spirit
-
through our soul into our mind okay so
-
that he heard a voice not like a radio
-
voice in his head but in his mind that
-
said "If you're really the son of God
-
speak to this stone and turn it into
-
bread." Right we remember the test he's
-
got to go through everything that Israel
-
and Moses went through 40 days in the
-
wilderness for him is equal to the 40
-
years of Israel in the wilderness um
-
he's going to go through tests just like
-
Moses did just like the people of Israel
-
did if you are the son of God this voice
-
is like you have to prove it remember we
-
talked about ego if you there's
-
something of the ego in there i've got
-
to prove who I am as the son of God wait
-
a minute i just heard 40 days before the
-
father said it i don't have to do
-
anything do I uh holy scripture we
-
talked about how Yeshua learned for 30
-
years and we don't it's just 30 years of
-
his life is we get one or two verses of
-
summary that's it he lived a normal life
-
no Harry Potter no magic no supernatural
-
moving things nothing just a good Jewish
-
boy sinless who learned the Torah and
-
the word of God and memorized the whole
-
thing so that when this time came the
-
Holy Spirit I was saying the Holy Spirit
-
is kind of like a browser you know it's
-
like your internet browser right there's
-
all this material out there and the
-
browser just goes and finds it and puts
-
it together and connects things that's
-
what the Holy Spirit does but if you
-
don't have the scriptures if you haven't
-
done the work of filling up your datab
-
bank with the scriptures the Holy Spirit
-
doesn't have much to work with okay and
-
I told you my story how when I was first
-
my first year as a believer when I
-
didn't have much scripture because I
-
hadn't grown up with it and I didn't you
-
know I didn't uh learn it I had to have
-
a lot of supernatural communication from
-
God directly but then he said go and
-
learn the scriptures and things changed
-
okay so that's something else we learned
-
from that first uh first temptation uh
-
we learned about where how waiting on
-
God that the speech of God is not most
-
of the time we don't hear God speaking
-
we see the result of his
-
speech when God God said let there be
-
light nobody was there to hear that and
-
he he had to tell Moses thousands of
-
years later on Mount Si that's how it
-
happened right but the proof that God
-
spoke is there was light right the proof
-
of God providing or speaking mana to the
-
people of Israel in this Passover season
-
when they're on their way out of Egypt
-
uh is nobody heard God say or nobody got
-
a word or Moses didn't have to command
-
the mana to come down from heaven god
-
apparently spoke and there it was a new
-
thing uh so we have to wait on God
-
learning to wait on God to change our s
-
praying waiting for God to change
-
circumstances and then he's that's how
-
he speaks most of the time um then we
-
learned about how also the the
-
supernatural Yeshua knew from his
-
reading of scripture and also from the
-
character of God that there's no
-
examples of people in the scriptures
-
doing supernatural things just for
-
themselves just for fun just to prove it
-
just cuz they're hungry that all of
-
Yeshua's signs to feed people were all
-
in ser in ministry signs that he gave to
-
help others okay um so we learn we just
-
we're going through process of
-
discernment just like he does and it's
-
all about God testing what's in our
-
heart and that's where Yeshua finishes
-
with Deuteronomy 8:3 remember he humbled
-
you and let you be hungry and fed you
-
with mana which you did not know nor did
-
your fathers know this is a new stage in
-
in history at the Exodus okay and at new
-
stages in history god does supernatural
-
things but he does them right um that he
-
might make you understand that man does
-
not live by bread alone but man lives by
-
everything that proceeds out of the
-
mouth of the Lord and Yeshua's
-
conclusion
-
was if God wants to provide supernatural
-
food for me he would do that and speak
-
it i don't see it it hasn't happened god
-
has not spoken i'm going to walk a few
-
kilometers into the nearest village i'm
-
hungry i finish my fast i'll ask for
-
some bread i'll
-
say I'll pray and thank God for the
-
miraculous bread that we eat every day
-
and I'll be a normal human being okay
-
that's last time now with that
-
background okay we come to the second
-
temptation and this is where it gets
-
really I mean this was I mean he's
-
tested at a level that none of us are
-
ever going to be tested okay at that
-
level there's similarities but this is
-
really
-
really
-
nasty and clever what the devil does by
-
the way remember we talked about this
-
last time we know from the beginning of
-
the first verse of chapter 4 Matthew
-
tells us that it's the
-
devil okay we know but the whole point
-
of the testing is that Yeshua doesn't
-
know at the beginning he's in a process
-
of discernment as the son of God as our
-
high priest he has to go through
-
everything that we that we go through uh
-
so here we are the next temptation the
-
second one that's what the focus of
-
today's message is is going to be verses
-
5-7
-
then the devil took him there again we
-
know the devil took
-
him into the holy city and had him stand
-
on the pinnacle of the temple yeshua
-
said to him "Oh I'm sorry i I chopped
-
off that in my copy paste." And he hears
-
the v the the in his mind the verses
-
quoted from Psalm 91 11 and
-
12 cast yourself down the angels will
-
gather you in their hand they'll save
-
you okay jesus said to him "On the other
-
hand it is written you shall not put the
-
Lord God your God to the
-
test."
-
Wow we don't know exactly what happened
-
but remember Yeshua is somewhere down
-
there towards Jericho he's pretty far
-
from Jerusalem he's in the Judean
-
wilderness okay suddenly he's at the top
-
of the temple right over there
-
we're not told was that a total physical
-
experience was it in the spirit in other
-
words it could have been that his body
-
was still down there near Jericho but he
-
was but it whatever it is it's
-
real it's a real test by the way I
-
checked according to most researchers
-
the second temple the height the
-
pinnacle was about 50 m which is about
-
17 stories 16 17 stories so when you
-
look out the window here that's about
-
the height Yeah of the very top of the
-
temple and you can see down you can see
-
people it's not like people are little
-
ants you can see the people and if they
-
looked up they could see him okay but
-
it's a height that if you jump and you
-
know nothing miraculous happens splat
-
that's it you can call you're you're
-
going straight to wherever
-
um so that's where he is well this must
-
mean that God has spoken cuz it happened
-
right didn't I say that from the
-
previous
-
temptation if if if it happens and it's
-
super then then God has spoken
-
right maybe maybe not okay he's really
-
there he can feel the wind he can hear
-
the voices down there
-
and he that same place that same thought
-
comes to him and says
-
jump test God okay because it's
-
written the devil knows the
-
scriptures oh that's tricky he's been
-
around a long time he reads them i don't
-
know in what language Hebrew Greek
-
Chinese whatever but he can quote them
-
apparently and use them and mi and
-
misuse them all right that's what we'll
-
see so this is a big test right okay you
-
you say you're not you live only by the
-
word of God okay only by what God really
-
does here I'll give you a
-
supernatural there we are in Jerusalem
-
they Yeshua knew if he's the Messiah his
-
ultimate destiny is Jerusalem the temple
-
and supernatural things are going to
-
happen there all right this is really a
-
big test okay as we last time we went
-
through said okay as Yeshua would knows
-
the scripture the Holy Spirit helping
-
him he saw what Moses did at Mibba with
-
the rock and he instead of speaking to
-
it he whacked him in the book of numbers
-
and he got angry we talked about Elijah
-
and the ravens you remember supplying
-
him with supernatural food bread and and
-
meat morning and evening things that
-
happened supernaturally by way of
-
provision that neither Moses or Elijah
-
had to command to happen god did it
-
right we think okay if the Holy Spirit
-
is helping Yeshua go through the spir
-
sort of the the Tanakh the Old Testament
-
to tell okay what about this what about
-
is there any precedent for people
-
testing God in this way and the answer I
-
couldn't find anything i mean people I
-
don't know Moses tried to jump off Mount
-
Si or something i don't think I you know
-
people doing really dangerous things
-
intentionally and then expecting God to
-
just send the angels and save them no I
-
don't i mean it's it's hard to kind of
-
find a reference for that that's part
-
that's one thing is you this is
-
not this is not biblical this is not
-
what Moses did this is not what Elijah
-
did this is not what David did okay and
-
he and then he answers with this verse
-
from Deuteronomy 6 and I want us to go
-
there if you have the Bible remember
-
we've talked so much also when I was
-
teaching Romans 9:101 about when the
-
when there's these quotes in the New
-
Testament it's just one verse you got to
-
go back to the
-
original context and start reading and
-
you'll find oh this is referencing not
-
just that one verse but a bunch of other
-
things so if you go to Deuteronomy 6
-
okay which of course is also the Shama
-
and this is after the Shama um
-
Deuteronomy
-
6:10 I'll start
-
then it shall come about when the Lord
-
your God brings you into the land which
-
he swore to your fathers Abraham Isaac
-
and Jacob to give you great and splendid
-
cities which you did not build and
-
houses full of all good things which you
-
did not fill and huned sistns which you
-
did not dig vineard vineyards and olive
-
trees which you did not plant and you
-
eat and are
-
satisfied then watch yourself that you
-
do not forget the Lord who brought you
-
from the land of Egypt out of the house
-
of slavery you shall fear only the Lord
-
your God Yhovah your God and you shall
-
worship him and swear by his name you
-
shall not follow other gods any of the
-
gods of the peoples who surround you for
-
the Lord your God in the midst you in
-
the midst of you is a jealous God
-
otherwise the anger of the Lord your God
-
will be kindled kindled against you and
-
he will wipe you off the face of the
-
earth you shall not put the Lord your
-
God to the test that's what Yeshua
-
quotes okay as you tested him at
-
Masa Masa okay you should diligently
-
keep the commandments etc etc this is
-
referencing the similar event not the
-
one in Numbers but the first one in
-
Exodus 17 when the people complained
-
bitterly to Moses about the lack of
-
water they were really really thirsty
-
and they said "What did you bring us out
-
here to die in the wilderness?" Okay and
-
Moses and Aaron cry out to God this time
-
all right and he says "Take your staff
-
and go." And he the Lord says "I will
-
stand on the rock of of Hobb and water
-
will come from the rock." Okay and it
-
does and the people are
-
uh their thirst is quenched okay and
-
they're happy this is the test and now
-
this is really different than being at
-
the top of the temple and thinking of
-
jumping off okay
-
but the people think about it was just
-
the lack of faith god brought us out of
-
Egypt remember all the signs and wonders
-
the parting of the Red Sea you read in
-
Deuteronomy 6 he's promising us the
-
promised land he's going to take us in
-
there we're going to have victory we're
-
going to take over the land people have
-
prepared it for us miraculous things are
-
going to happen we're going to have a
-
great life just believe just keep on
-
going he's not going to let us die of
-
thirst that doesn't make sense right so
-
but they tested God because of their
-
lack of faith and that's what Yeshua
-
quotes okay now think we'll think about
-
that we'll talk about it a little bit
-
more as uh we go on but that was the the
-
test of the people of Israel which they
-
failed and now Yeshua is being tested
-
and he's going to pass and he's going to
-
pass with flying colors as we say
-
because he knows or we don't know how
-
much he knew exactly at this point
-
because you see a development in the
-
gospels of Yeshua starting to announce
-
what is going to happen at the end his
-
crucifixion and his
-
resurrection
-
okay
-
yeshua is going to go he's going he's
-
not testing God he's obeying God but
-
he's going to do something far more
-
miraculous than a few angels catching
-
you falling off a building and that's
-
that's pretty good what is Yeshua gonna
-
do what is he going to
-
do 3 years later he's going to die he's
-
going to allow himself to be
-
killed listen to this this is Matthew
-
27:39 yeshua on the cross
-
and you'll hear some similar language
-
from the temptations in the wilderness
-
at that time two rebels were being
-
crucified with him one on the right hand
-
and one on the
-
left and those passing by were speaking
-
abusively to him shaking their heads and
-
saying "You who are going to destroy the
-
temple and rebuild it in 3 days save
-
yourself if you are the son of God."
-
Have we heard that
-
before come down from the
-
cross do something
-
miraculous in the same way the chief
-
priests also along with the scribes and
-
elders were mocking him and saying "He
-
saved others he can't save
-
himself he's the king of Israel you're
-
the king of is if you're the king of
-
Israel come down from the cross and then
-
we'll believe in you
-
he's trusted in God let God rescue him
-
now if he takes pleasure in him they're
-
quoting scripture for he said "I am the
-
son of God." And the rebels who had been
-
crucified with him were also insulting
-
him in the same way think about
-
it yeshua who know he in his spirit he
-
knew this was coming so he's
-
saying Jerusalem the temple yeah that's
-
my destiny to to to destroy the temple
-
and start a whole new temple in my body
-
my resurrected body after three days but
-
it's not going to be like this it's not
-
going to be by jumping off and the
-
angels saving me and a few may How many
-
people are going to notice down there
-
maybe they'll notice maybe they don't no
-
no no no there's no quickies here we're
-
going into the land there's an
-
inheritance it's going to take some time
-
there's a process i've got to walk it
-
out and let God don't get ahead of God
-
let the Father do it he's going to do
-
some new things just like he did the
-
time of Mount Si the Exodus the
-
mana i don't have to work it up i don't
-
have to do anything
-
crazy sorry no thanks all right let's um
-
just look at some of the lessons okay
-
that we can learn for our own
-
discernment our own process of
-
discernment that we learned from this
-
incident from this second temptation the
-
first one is not all that glitters is
-
gold you've all heard that and not
-
everything supernatural is from
-
God
-
ah 2 Thessalonians 2 uh verse 10 then
-
the law or is it it says 8 through 10
-
but it's one verse i'm not sure which
-
one it is uh no it's 8 then that lawless
-
one will be revealed whom the Lord will
-
slay with the breath of his mouth and
-
bring to an end by the appearance of his
-
coming that is the one whose coming is
-
in accord with the activity of Satan
-
with all power and signs and false
-
wonders it's interesting he's going to
-
have power especially as we get towards
-
the end there's going to be signs and
-
false wonder what's a false wonder i'm
-
not sure does that mean it actually
-
happens but it's it's Satan did it and
-
so you got to be careful or it's a trick
-
that's not really happening but it's
-
like smoke and mirrors i don't
-
know but he's going to have power to
-
deceive a lot of people by supernatural
-
or things that look supernatural and we
-
have to be able to discern that that's
-
not God um then
-
um 2 Corinthians 11:14 no wonder for
-
even Satan disguises himself as an angel
-
of light angels angels we'll talk about
-
that in a little bit okay we've we are
-
not Satan can remember he doesn't come
-
to us with those like with the pitchfork
-
and the red suit okay that's not that's
-
too easy to discern he comes to us as an
-
angel of light power signs and wonders
-
he can quote scriptures all kinds of
-
things um you know I've when I talk
-
about this um I've noticed over the
-
years that a lot of where people get
-
mixed up with the prophetic which is a
-
supernatural thing uh and especially
-
people who are coming from a less
-
charismatic background who aren't used
-
to it and then they go to some meeting
-
where there's a prophet or a prophetic
-
person maybe it's their first time and
-
the person points them out and says
-
Um I see I I see you when you were 5
-
years old and you and your family got in
-
that car accident right and you
-
go right that's like supernatural
-
knowledge a person doesn't know anything
-
about me and they're pointing out
-
something that's true right when I was 5
-
years old I'm not me i'm just saying for
-
example I was this car accident there
-
was a traumatic thing in our family and
-
d
-
um and people then
-
assume because that's a
-
supernatural knowledge that then God
-
must be speaking and whatever the person
-
is going to say next to you must also be
-
from
-
God i've seen a lot of people get messed
-
up this way in the prophetic because
-
guess
-
what um people you know there are uh
-
I've spent a lot of time in the Far East
-
uh there's a long traditions there of
-
palm reading and uh tarot card reading
-
and all kinds of other you know
-
soothsayers and people we here even at
-
our house in downtown Jerusalem right
-
across our the alley is a yeshiva
-
synagogue and there's a a rabbi rabbi
-
Brener who teaches there um regularly
-
and people come from all over Israel and
-
he reads their palms he reads their
-
palms and prophesies and some people
-
believe that he has healing powers what
-
okay um you know now those people and
-
the ones who who are really good at it
-
and makes make big money you find them
-
on the internet horoscopes and all kinds
-
of do you think it's all
-
fake a lot of Christians think "Oh it's
-
all fake cuz it's demons it's not God."
-
No that people with a little intuition a
-
little prophetic sort of knowledge can
-
read sometimes what's happening in the
-
soul realm that's how I understand it
-
all right especially if this is why in a
-
lot of houses of prayer and pro
-
prophetic places they one of the things
-
they say is when you people come you
-
don't know them no prophesying about or
-
no words of knowledge about with women
-
especially about having children or
-
about marriage with men as single men
-
and women why because the people who
-
have a woman who is wanting for years
-
can't get pregnant can't have a child
-
there's a deep deep soul cry the prayer
-
that's been going on all for years in
-
that woman's soul like Hana okay and if
-
you're just a little you don't need a
-
lot of training okay you can be
-
intrigued believer unbeliever you can
-
pick you can you can sense that okay so
-
uh we have to be careful okay about how
-
what what kind of what we do with when
-
people have that kind of knowledge about
-
us so they see something it can be a
-
prophetic word from God it can't how do
-
we know we have to discern it you have
-
to listen to it record it write it down
-
um I
-
I always when I teach on this on on the
-
prophetic maybe the most important
-
scripture in all of of the New Testament
-
is Revelation 19:10
-
uh where John has there's a this huge
-
angel who's been showing him incredible
-
things and then it says I John fell at
-
his feet to worship him and he said to
-
me don't do that I'm a fellow servant of
-
yours and your brethren who hold the
-
testimony of Jesus worship God for the
-
testimony of Jesus is The spirit of
-
prophecy that means that whatever
-
prophetic word or insight someone brings
-
to you if it if what they do with it the
-
application of I saw this I see your
-
accident age fin and the trauma it went
-
through and they start preaching healing
-
in Jesus's name according to the
-
testimony of the
-
gospel of who Jesus is what he did what
-
he's doing what he does for us in our
-
lives according to the word of God then
-
it's kosher then it's from God okay
-
that's how you judge it if what they
-
that prophetic knowledge comes or or
-
that prophetic insight and then what
-
they do with it
-
is something speaks something that maybe
-
is bringing some comfort to you but it's
-
not according to the testimony of Yeshua
-
meaning it's a kind of comfort that says
-
you don't have to
-
suffer that's not the testimony of
-
Yeshua
-
yeshua had to go to the cross we have to
-
take up our cross we have to deny
-
ourselves this is the problem with the
-
what we call the prosperity gospel you
-
know what I'm talking about where a lot
-
of the messages God did he did it all
-
now you can just enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy
-
all the blessings without any
-
suffering that's not the testimony of
-
Yeshua that's not a proper spirit a
-
prophetic spirit you know what I'm
-
talking about okay so that's just one of
-
the one of the examples you think of
-
where there can be something that is
-
supernatural
-
and that's okay someone sees something
-
but what the application what the the
-
message is is something you have to
-
discern and be careful of okay that's
-
the first lesson the second one is
-
Jerusalem
-
syndrome
-
remember Yeshua knows he He's grow he's
-
read the scriptures 40 days before he's
-
declared the son of God he hears that he
-
knows as the
-
Messiah he's going to be doing things
-
for a few years he maybe doesn't know
-
exactly how long but it's all going to
-
end up here in Jerusalem and at or near
-
the temple okay it has to because
-
Jerusalem is Jerusalem it's Zion the
-
promises of God there's so much in
-
scripture and we love preaching about it
-
and sharing about it here we are in
-
Jerusalem high up over Jerusalem and we
-
will share that with the world but you
-
know there's there's a flip side it can
-
also be a little bit dangerous it can be
-
like a drug actually in Zechariah it
-
says in the end of days he will make
-
Jerusalem a cup of trembling like a drug
-
to the nations okay a rock of rock of
-
stumbling as well
-
um that uh you know here in Jerusalem
-
we've got to be careful uh cuz it can it
-
can do some weird things have you ever
-
heard there's actually a
-
semi-csychotic experience that they call
-
Jerusalem syndrome it's on the
-
psychological books i did a little
-
research on it it was kind of
-
interesting there's the people who come
-
who already have been diagnosed with
-
some kind of
-
psychotic thing and then they just it
-
kind of gets worse that's we're not
-
talking about that we're talking about
-
regular normal people they said about
-
it's like 50/50 between Jews and non-
-
Messianic Jews and Christians um who
-
come here usually as part of a group
-
okay and they actually who's we have
-
tour guide here too you've been to tour
-
guide school did they teach you about it
-
it was saying that they made Yeah they
-
make sure the tour guides know what to
-
look for okay because the same it's like
-
clockwork it's the same thing happens
-
yeah it's against us okay um is a person
-
they're in a group and the person starts
-
to get a little anxious a little start
-
to act a little differently and then
-
they want to go separate they want to go
-
I've got to go pray i've got to go do my
-
thing right that's the first sign okay I
-
I need to the group's going I I have to
-
do something else right and then it h
-
then they the people become uh kind of
-
obsessed with purity and cleanliness
-
they start cutting their nails and
-
washing and showering all the time and
-
then they take the bed sheets from their
-
hotel and they make some kind of white
-
robe and again nobody's it's not like
-
they're watching it on YouTube and you
-
know someone you know oh this is how you
-
do it it's been happening for years few
-
people I don't know how many every year
-
right and they get and then they begin
-
to have delusions that they're a
-
biblical character right john the
-
Baptist Virgin Mary is a big one you
-
know my son
-
Jesus and it usually happens to single
-
it was interesting said 90 something%
-
it's single men or women i used to think
-
it was mostly women but actually the
-
stat says no it's evenly divided um by
-
the way you know it's interesting it
-
happens mostly to single single people
-
you know
-
inidiced Judaism they have a kind of
-
rule that is you're not allowed to study
-
Cabala which is mystical Judaism until
-
you're married and have one kid at least
-
one kid then of course they have 10 more
-
right but you know the the thinking is
-
if you're you know you got to be rooted
-
something about marriage family children
-
keeps you rooted in this world before
-
you go and start studying the mystical
-
charismatic stuff right uh so anyway
-
that's what happens Jerusalem syndrome
-
and then the people begin to have these
-
weird experiences and usually it's pre
-
they you know they take them away they
-
don't
-
there's a psychiatric hospital here for
-
a day just give them a little tranquil
-
little drug and they send them home and
-
they're fine and they come out of it
-
they're not it's not like a but it
-
happens now I'm not suggesting that's
-
happening to any of we have to be
-
careful and you know as things go on and
-
here in our group people we have all
-
kinds of people who come here You know
-
and I just say the people out there if
-
you're thinking of coming to Jerusalem
-
if you're alone and as this is
-
especially if you're alone as soon as
-
God is telling me to go and intercede it
-
may be but make sure you've got a group
-
your pastors leader people are blessing
-
you people are praying for you don't
-
come alone you know come with a group
-
cuz this is the universal center of
-
spiritual warfare here and weird things
-
can happen and we don't want them to
-
happen have it happen to anybody but
-
there's a good Jerusalem syndrome and
-
that is we're here we believe in God's
-
promises to Zion Jerusalem and we're
-
doing everything we can to hasten his
-
coming right over there to the Mount of
-
Olives hallelujah and he's going to be
-
in dressed in white whiter than the bed
-
sheets of any hotel hallelujah all right
-
shining like the sun
-
amen um that's so that's the the second
-
one the third lesson here from this this
-
temptation is rightly understanding the
-
word of God in
-
context now if anybody's been to
-
seminary in these modern times you learn
-
that historical grammatical contextual
-
interpretation of scripture in other
-
words you have to understand scripture
-
in its original context as best we can
-
the languages the culture the
-
archaeology all that kind of stuff okay
-
it's not something new it's what Yeshua
-
did right here with Psalm 91 or what the
-
Holy Spirit helped him to do with Psalm
-
91 okay so let's look at the kind
-
remember Psalm 91 11 and 12 that the
-
devil quotes to him in his mind that you
-
know just the angels are going to catch
-
you okay and he quotes accurately the
-
scripture here are the first two verses
-
of Psalm 91 when by the way in Hebrew in
-
those times they didn't have numbers on
-
the on the Bible there were no chapter
-
verse numbers they recognized the Psalms
-
by usually by their first line okay that
-
was like the title and so they would say
-
"Hey go to go to they wouldn't say go to
-
Psalm 91." They'd say go to
-
beton okay that's the the first line the
-
first words in Hebrew all right
-
the one who sits dwells in the secret
-
place or the secret of Eljon of the
-
highest and abides in his in Elshadai's
-
shadow and the one who says to
-
Jehovah this is verse two my stronghold
-
my fortress
-
Elohai my God I trust in him
-
all right that's the beginning of the
-
psalm the one who's seated and abiding
-
in the secret place of God you know this
-
whole thing about sitting Yeshua where
-
is he
-
today he's sitting down where at this
-
throne at the right hand of the father
-
in this the huge black hole in the
-
center of the universe that's what I
-
believe right we don't we have the
-
address by
-
prayer and he's bringing that throne
-
here the tabernacle of God will be with
-
men the new Jerusalem okay so he's there
-
he's sitting he's not standing what does
-
that
-
mean he's resting it's
-
done he's remember how confident he was
-
remember this is all about
-
identity if you're the son of God yeah
-
I'm the son of God i'm going to be
-
seated at the right hand of the father
-
okay the one who sits in the secret
-
place of the most high the one who is so
-
confident of his relationship with God
-
of his sunship of the adoption who's
-
seated that's how this starts for that
-
person for us as we stay in that place
-
of being children of God of grace not
-
needing to prove anything remember not
-
getting our ego involved then you read
-
the rest of Psalm 91 there's all kinds
-
of wonderful promises what he's going to
-
how he's going to save you and protect
-
you jumping off the top of the temple to
-
prove that God is going to save you come
-
on that's not that's not what this psalm
-
is about that's not the context of the
-
psalm who wrote this he wasn't writing
-
promises that you could just sort of
-
pull here and there and proof text and
-
put them on and go "Oh now here it says
-
I can just jump off and the angels are
-
going to catch
-
me." That's not how you read the
-
scripture
-
okay
-
um 2 Timothy 2:14 and 15 Paul says to
-
Timothy "Mind them of these things and
-
solemnly charge them in the presence of
-
God not to wrangle about words which is
-
useless and leads to the ruin of the
-
hearers be diligent to present yourself
-
approved to God as a workman who does
-
not need to be ashamed accurately
-
handling the word of
-
truth brothers and sisters we have to
-
study and it's not just proof text you
-
know what proof texting is you get an
-
idea and you take one verse and you say
-
sometimes that works sometimes you may
-
be taking the verse out of context and
-
making it say something that it's not
-
really saying he said people who wrangle
-
about words you know people get all
-
mixed up sometimes about the uh well the
-
Greek says this and the way and we need
-
to study that stuff and sometimes you
-
can miss what do they say miss the
-
forest for the trees you get focused on
-
details and words and you miss the whole
-
context of what the scripture is trying
-
to tell us that's what the devil was
-
trying to do to Yeshua he says "Okay we
-
want to talk about the word of God here
-
but I don't think Satan can properly
-
accurately quote the word of God he can
-
only lie." Okay but he can use the
-
scriptures and so we have to know and
-
understand that's why we study theology
-
what's the relationship between the old
-
and new and law and grace and the
-
gospels and the letters and all these
-
things okay we need to study we need to
-
know how to accurately handle and divide
-
the word of God so that we don't so that
-
the voices or whatever will not will not
-
deceive us the last thing the lesson
-
that I learned from this one I call it
-
the gospel over the
-
angels you know in the second temple
-
period there was a lot of stuff about
-
angels and there's all kinds of other
-
extra biblical Jewish literature about
-
all kinds of angelic stuff there was a
-
lot of angelic activity and peop and
-
Jewish people there were people who were
-
connecting with different angels and all
-
kinds of stuff and prayers to angels we
-
have one that's left over it's been left
-
with us for kabala Shabbat for Friday
-
night in Jewish tradition
-
shalom we sing this song which is the at
-
the beginning of Shabbat dinner or the
-
service in the synagogue where you're
-
welcoming it says we welcome the angels
-
to come maha say who make peace right
-
with the angels of the most high we say
-
come stay and then we say go okay we
-
sing that I in our house sometimes but I
-
also have to be a little careful with it
-
okay because we don't talk to angels we
-
don't need to they're there we don't
-
need to command them there's nothing in
-
the New Testament that tells you to
-
command angels right why because we we
-
have direct access to the King of Kings
-
and the Lord of Lords who sits at the
-
right hand of the throne he's the one he
-
he does he send the angels to do stuff
-
that we don't have to know about or see
-
some people have a gift for singing okay
-
um at the end of the third temptation in
-
verse 11 Matthew chapter 4 it says the
-
devil left him and behold the angels
-
came and began to minister to him yeshua
-
didn't invite them he didn't look for
-
them god sent them to minister to him
-
the son of man this is the other thing
-
people back in the second temple they
-
kind of worship the angels like we're
-
below the angels like they're higher
-
than us no psalm 8 he made us
-
temporarily it looks like we're made a
-
little lower than the angels but
-
actually because a son of because a man
-
is the son of God and we're human beings
-
we are higher than the angels it says in
-
the Corinthians that in the age to come
-
we are going to judge angels right so we
-
don't need to get mixed up trying to get
-
angels to you know that like they're
-
high like John when he saw in in
-
Revelation 19 he worships the angel the
-
angel says "No no no don't do that we're
-
just servants like you
-
guys." Um says Revelation 19 uh in
-
Hebrews 1:14 this is a verse I always
-
read or declare at the end of Shalom
-
after we sing that on on Friday night in
-
of Shabbat are they not all ministering
-
spirits it's talking about the angels
-
sent out to render service for the sake
-
of those who will inherit salvation
-
that's us god made the angels to serve
-
us not the other way around all right
-
um let's end with this i'm going to read
-
from 1 Corinthians 2
-
uh
-
6-10 and just keeping in mind what
-
Yeshua knew again we don't know how much
-
he knew at this stage but his knowledge
-
grew that he had to obey God and he was
-
going to obey God in Jerusalem he was
-
going to do things at the temple and he
-
was going to be
-
crucified the king of Israel crucified
-
the ultimate obedience the ultimate test
-
if you will of God okay a human being is
-
dead three days he can't there's no
-
formulas there's no prayers there's
-
nothing he can do you're dead and he's
-
saying "I I trust God i trust God i will
-
follow him unto death even the death of
-
the cross." And God raised him from the
-
dead among the mature however we speak a
-
message of wisdom but not the wisdom of
-
this age or of the rulers of this age
-
who are coming to nothing no we speak of
-
the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God
-
which he destined for our our glory
-
before time began none of the rulers of
-
this age understood
-
it if they had they would not have
-
crucified the Lord of glory rather as it
-
is written no eye has seen nor ear has
-
heard nor heart has imagined what God
-
has prepared for those who love him but
-
God has revealed it revealed it to us by
-
his spirit in other words Satan there in
-
the wilderness he's trying to tempt
-
Jesus he's trying to get Jesus to sin
-
he's trying to bring Jesus
-
down he
-
thought that when he crucified that was
-
it he didn't this was a
-
secret god had kept this secret satan
-
didn't know about it it's in the
-
scriptures but it's hidden right
-
and then when Yeshua rose from the dead
-
after he had descended into hell Satan
-
said
-
"Uhoh he won he won we didn't see it
-
coming."
-
Hallelujah so let's pray
-
lord it says in first Peter that the
-
prophets of old
-
searched by the Holy Spirit the time and
-
to know about your suffering and what
-
what the Messiah would do and it says
-
that they did these things by the Holy
-
Spirit things which the
-
angels want or long to see
-
into the mystery of the gospel this
-
hidden wisdom and Lord we thank you that
-
we have it that Yeshua knew it and he is
-
the author and finisher of our faith and
-
he was
-
obedient even unto death a terrible
-
death when they mocked him and and and
-
screamed at him just like Satan if
-
you're the son of God if you're the king
-
of show us something prove it come down
-
from the cross he said "No I know what
-
I'm doing i'm going to obey God until
-
the end." Lord help us to be such people
-
who do not love our lives even unto
-
death who have the blood of the lamb and
-
the word of our testimony which is how
-
we also overcome him and we thank you
-
that we can trust Lord help us to be
-
discerning people Lord in these times to
-
be first and foremost so confident
-
because of the word of God because of
-
the deep dwelling indwelling presence of
-
the Holy Spirit that we're so confident
-
in who we are as children of God that we
-
don't need to prove
-
anything and our ego is not and ego is
-
not involved in discerning your will
-
help us to study your word and to go
-
deeper and deeper thank you for Yeshua
-
the pioneer the author and finisher who
-
has just gone before us and was tested
-
at such a level Lord that none of us
-
could have survived but he did and by
-
his grace and by his spirit in us we can
-
overcome his will bishm Yeshua
-
amen amen amen questions comments
-
criticisms anything go ahead
-
good teaching Ariel thank you just a
-
question on something that you touched
-
on um can you comment on a popular
-
charismatic teaching car in the
-
charismatic community of which we are a
-
part um that we are to command angels to
-
do things i mean there are many people
-
that I have prayed with that have prayed
-
along those lines do you see any
-
scriptural authorization
-
said in in message I don't and I would
-
say this yeah I would say that we are
-
and from the example of Yeshua here um
-
we
-
generally as a doctrine do not do that
-
and don't need to do that because again
-
we're our prayers are directed to the
-
king of kings and he will speak and he
-
will change and he will send the angels
-
and they will do things um however I do
-
There is room for exceptions and people
-
can be led by the Holy Spirit to do
-
things usually one
-
time but what the problem with us is
-
that we tend to make we make a system
-
out of it yeah we make a dash like oh he
-
led me to do that once so that means now
-
I can do it all the time that's my
-
automatic thing and it's not and then
-
and then you're against the doctrine of
-
scripture all right another one is pray
-
is praying to the Holy Spirit for
-
charismatics this is very important um
-
the the general tendency of prayer in
-
the New Testament is to the father and
-
through Yeshua okay the worship in the
-
book of revelation is to the father and
-
to Yeshua you don't see people
-
worshiping the holy spirit or talking to
-
the holy or or praying holy spirit do
-
come holy spirit holy spirit that's a
-
doctrine okay so in our pray if someone
-
once here and there feels led to say
-
holy spirit holy spirit come okay but
-
we've watched I remember I was early
-
early on in my uh walk with the Lord
-
um I don't want to mention any names but
-
you'll know who it is uh someone wrote a
-
book a great charismatic healing
-
evangelist wrote a book called Good
-
Morning Holy Spirit i remember reading
-
the book and
-
going no that's not what the that's not
-
what the New Testament it teaches the
-
apostles didn't pray that way he didn't
-
relate to actually Derek Prince at the
-
end of his life said this was his
-
greatest concern about the in the move
-
in the charismatic movement of which he
-
was one of the the fathers and pioneers
-
was that the doctrine of the Holy Spirit
-
was getting weird and that they were
-
saying okay you can just relate to
-
because it's three persons it's like you
-
you know it's almost like you sort of go
-
okay in the morning holy spirit for
-
lunch the father and dinner I'll pray to
-
Jesus you know so like you pick them no
-
it's that's not that's not how they
-
prayed or worshiped So it's it's a
-
similar thing that they don't Yeah we're
-
not I don't see making commanding angels
-
as a as a regular thing that we do but
-
again if God leads you and you think and
-
it and there's some proof that it
-
happened great just don't make a a thing
-
out of it don't make a repetitive you
-
know on YouTube here I am i'll help you
-
command angels just like I do which is
-
what people
-
do yeah anybody else uh John you got
-
there you're just I've got two questions
-
but I'll ask my important one first um I
-
It's interesting i'm I'm kind of
-
flipping through while you're speaking
-
it's interesting to me that right when
-
Yeshua received the word from heaven
-
from the father you are my son that that
-
word was tested by the enemy three and
-
there's three if you are the son of God
-
exactly but then after that throughout
-
his ministry he gets those same
-
temptations so John 6 he says to the
-
people you you don't really want signs
-
you just want me to feed you again
-
basically you want me to make you more
-
bread miraculously miraculously and then
-
the Pharisees and Sadducees they've come
-
to test him show us a sign do these
-
things and it's the last temptation
-
about Yeshua bowing and worshiping Satan
-
the flip of that is the people want him
-
to succumb to their demands that you'll
-
overthrow Rome and be our king so we can
-
worship you and so it's just interesting
-
to me i I wonder if there's any
-
precedent to when we receive a genuine
-
word from the Lord about our identity
-
about who we are if it's first going to
-
be tested by Satan himself or the
-
demonic realm and once we've passed that
-
test we'll have more tests with men and
-
people i just I don't know it was
-
interesting to me that it happened in in
-
that flow of Yeshua's life any thoughts
-
to that um well I'd say yeah that yeah
-
the the p the pattern or the template of
-
Satan's temptations are are repeated the
-
same kind of things that's what I showed
-
at the end you know he's on the cross
-
and there they are screaming if you're
-
the son of God so yeah the same kind of
-
things happen for him and happen to us
-
um the second part about you know word
-
of God about our identity or who who we
-
are is that what I I think I mean
-
there's two there's the dimension of the
-
gospel truth to all of us which is your
-
the adoption as sons and daughters of
-
God that's what that's at the highest
-
level and that that we're constantly
-
tested on on how do we really believe
-
that are we willing to live that
-
confidently and what does that mean
-
right terms of the other things about
-
maybe our identity and calling in the in
-
the sort of lower maybe um but uh those
-
things you know I think you got to those
-
are prophetic things that we have to
-
discern and my experience is mostly
-
that if you you just have to walk out
-
your your life and faith and if it's
-
true it will it you'll see it happen you
-
know anyway this here John you want to
-
give or he's got
-
there go ahead our brother from Kansas
-
City
-
um two
-
questions one is uh I was just talking
-
to a friend and he was talking about the
-
tabernacle in Moses tabernacle
-
And he was saying he was concerned that
-
people went uh just to the holy place
-
rather than holy of holies that is they
-
stop at Yeshua or holy spirit in manura
-
and the showbread but sometimes they
-
just stop there and they don't enter
-
into the father's presence they didn't
-
or or
-
now cuz in back then they couldn't only
-
the high priest once a year could yum
-
kipur could go into the holy is that
-
what you're talking about or more
-
prophetically spiritually for us now
-
I guess um yeah one thing is uh what I'm
-
hearing from him is that people stop at
-
Yeshua and Holy Spirit but not wait for
-
the father's glorious presence so so
-
yeah so that I found that was very
-
fascinating that maybe you know we have
-
been given access to the holy of holies
-
but maybe we stop premature you know um
-
and so I guess one of the questions I
-
have is
-
like how are we supposed to glorify the
-
father and the son we're supposed to
-
glorify both and it's like Yeshua came
-
to glorify the father but then the
-
father glorifies the son you know you
-
know at the mount of transfiguration and
-
baptism and so um I don't know any
-
comments on that sure well that come I
-
was I didn't wasn't part of the message
-
today but it relates to how I was
-
answering Sandy's question that yeah it
-
is in general the direction of biblical
-
prayer is to the father in the name of
-
which means through Jesus and again it's
-
not that the name is not the important
-
thing it's not how you pronounce the
-
name or like it's a magic thing you can
-
just God give me a million dollars in
-
Jesus's name you know like it's going to
-
happen because of the name it means who
-
he gospel it's the whole identity of who
-
he is and what he's done what he's doing
-
what he's going to do and and who I am
-
in that and that's how we pray there is
-
room and examples of glorifying and
-
worshiping Jesus but as I was saying the
-
Holy Spirit says Jesus said of the Holy
-
Spirit he glorifies me he reveals me
-
he's the Derek Prince said he is the
-
Holy Spirit is God the
-
servant who does not draw attention to
-
himself right um but he just reveals you
-
know the Holy Spirit has been there when
-
we're in worship and there's that sense
-
of the presence of God and the
-
revelation of Jesus that the holy that's
-
the holy the Holy Spirit did that but he
-
doesn't go
-
he reads yeah anyway that was Dary
-
Prince one one more question maybe from
-
a I'm sorry I just have one other
-
question really quick two at the
-
beginning but this would be three but
-
it's all right we love you come a long
-
way yeah um there was a charismatic um
-
preacher he said that he saw in the
-
spirit realm he said when he spoke about
-
himself the angels would leave but when
-
the he spoke about Yeshua the angels
-
would come you know um and I feel like
-
you know one thing is that uh Lucifer
-
for he worshiped initially God but then
-
that turned toward self gaze or self-
-
worship and I feel like that's so
-
dangerous that you know that we could
-
all be vulnerable for that yeah and that
-
the spirit of antichrist is not to get
-
against Christ but replacing Christ with
-
something else or someone else and so
-
like I feel like that's yeah very
-
important to discern yeah of Satan was
-
his pride and his his pride also his
-
sense of competition with Yeshua i think
-
that's I mean you read in Ezekiel and
-
Isaiah you know this prophecies of the
-
king of Ty and that
-
that this Lucifer Satan was a maybe the
-
highest of all the angels and leading
-
the heavenly worship
-
but when he saw that there was Jesus the
-
son of man
-
receiving praise and worship he he got
-
jealous because he's as an angel you
-
can't worship the angels they can't be
-
worshiped and other than the father the
-
father said there's only one there's one
-
being in the universe who can share my
-
glory and I've committed everything to
-
him and you can worship him and that's
-
my son Yeshua that's it anything else
-
anybody else forbidden one more from
-
over there go ahead yeah i have a quick
-
little question you were saying how
-
That's what everybody says
-
it might be quick all right you were
-
saying how no prophet did a miracle for
-
themselves and so I was wondering about
-
the example of Elijah and Elisha where
-
right before Elijah's taken up to heaven
-
he hits the Jordan River and it splits
-
correct i think I got that right and um
-
and then they go through and so I'm
-
thinking like oh that's very convenient
-
they didn't have to swim they didn't
-
have to find a bridge but it doesn't
-
seem like necessary or for the people it
-
was kind of for themselves even though
-
or for it was for
-
Alisha that's what you're saying they
-
were together right eli Ela of Elisha
-
were together
-
yes right so I would say that Eli Yahu
-
did things
-
to increase to demonstrate to Elisha to
-
pass it on to him but yeah that's that's
-
the closest example maybe of being but
-
there he's not alone he's not in other
-
words there's not Eli if Elijah is just
-
alone he comes to the Jordan River and
-
says I don't want to
-
swim you know or I'm hungry you know we
-
this we don't we don't see the examples
-
of that so there's at least there's one
-
other person that he's doing something
-
to to serve to build up to pass on to
-
his his uh
-
successor by himself to the other
-
prophets yeah there you go there you
-
go there you go okay that's it it's high
-
noon
-
almost malik Vakasha
-
Malik I'm just thinking about the idea
-
of Yeshua being on the mountain and the
-
people that doesn't want us to believe
-
that everything was true saying like he
-
was alone so who quoted him i keep on
-
which mountain you mean with the devil
-
oh on on the on the Well that's the
-
third one he's on the mountain sees the
-
whole kingdoms that's next or two weeks
-
from now but that this thing and that's
-
the thing that he's alone like right so
-
who wrote the story for Well he must
-
have he must have told
-
Matthew and Luke yeah this were the two
-
temptation stories or you know if you
-
watch the chosen Mary you know he told
-
his mother and she told everybody there
-
especially in Luke in Luke yeah in Luke
-
there's all they developed that from the
-
book of Luke that it seems like they had
-
to interview Mary but which makes sense
-
it could have
-
been you know God bless the
-
mothers hallelujah well thank you folks
-
bless you have a great you're all here
-
for the holiday yeah pray pray it's a
-
special time these times of year i mean
-
it's so hard for us to believe that our
-
people can go through the the seder and
-
not see it you know and not see the lamb
-
of God and but it's just it's the veil
-
like we were praying this All right
