Transcript
-
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Psalms Bible study.
-
Rachel and I was on a hiatus for a while.
-
So much going on at work, so much going on
-
at home, so much going on in the ministry that
-
we took a break. So, boy, it's such a breath
-
of fresh air to get back to Psalms. And specifically
-
this particular Psalm, it's full of encouraging words for the
-
birth pangs. when we enter our time of persecution. So
-
it's only nine verses long. It's pretty short. It's pretty sweet.
-
You know, it's very apropos that we do this in
-
light of everything that's been going on. Like I said, work, home,
-
and ministry has just kind of been tumultuous here lately. Mm-hmm, yep. Yes.
-
But the Lord is faithful. Yes.
-
Amen.
-
He is.
-
He makes us stronger in these times.
-
Yes.
-
We have been told that we must carry our own cross.
-
We must. That is part of it. So we will
-
go through some of the suffering that Jesus went through.
-
Or maybe all of it. I don't know. But you
-
realize this is the greatest prophecy ever. You realize he
-
repeatedly told his disciples before he was crucified, he was
-
going to be crucified and they didn't listen to him.
-
He specifically told them, you have to pick up your
-
cross and follow me. So they had, imagine the ringing
-
in their ears as they're standing there seeing him on
-
the cross. They had no idea what he was talking about.
-
And there's so many things in this life that we,
-
at the time, we're just like they're happening or somebody
-
saying something and it's just going right over our head,
-
but it's not, it's in our subconscious. And sometimes it
-
confuses like, why did they say that? But then years
-
later you think back at the conversation and you're like,
-
Oh my, that's what they were saying. That's what they meant.
-
And they were, the person, if it was a person
-
telling you something, they were probably just so frustrated with
-
you that you were thinking you weren't listening or whatever.
-
Now that we have kids of our own, we're experiencing
-
that happening ourselves. And it's just that we didn't have
-
the right kind of context to put what they were
-
saying into our memory, into our thoughts, I mean.
-
Right. You have to process what's going on before you
-
understand what it is.
-
You have to go through a certain set of things
-
but there are certain things that are better if we
-
know them in advance even though we don't understand them.
-
Just like what Jesus said about carrying our own cross.
-
And so when we're going through things I know it
-
feels like everything's falling apart. It just wasn't the way
-
that We thought it would be. We didn't think it
-
would happen in this way we had. And so it
-
makes it very difficult. But when we can look back
-
on what he said and his words and realize that
-
it's going to be okay. And he has good plans
-
for us.
-
Yes. So let me catch my breath here. Let me
-
change the topic before I start bawling on air. Okay.
-
Oops.
-
We just talked about this. You have to be able
-
to take information and process it just when I was
-
trudging outside. You said something to me. You called me
-
over and asked me a particular question. And I gave
-
you a direct answer. I gave you a very direct
-
answer to the difference between between jealousy and envy and
-
then you took that and processed it and responded to
-
me and instead of saying anything further you said what
-
you said and I said what you said and I
-
had to process what you said and you had to
-
process what I said so That's very important that we're able, well,
-
that's why we're doing what we're doing today, right? You
-
need the information before you can properly process what it's saying.
-
And before you've processed it, herein lies the massive danger
-
of deception. This is when the devil enters in. When
-
you take in what the word says, and before you
-
have a chance to process it the devil distorts it
-
and turns it into deception and.
-
A lot of times this will come out in our
-
intention is to do what God wants but in our
-
sin that's where we get tripped up and we must
-
be careful that we don't take what we think is
-
going to happen and then let that cause.
-
Us to sin.
-
God would never be wanting that. Just because we think
-
something should happen, just because we're fearful that this is
-
going to happen, we need to trust what God's doing
-
and remember the commands He gave us, whether it makes
-
sense to us or not.
-
Whether it makes sense to us or not.
-
Because there are certain things that we know that God's
-
commanded us. So we have to hold fast to truth
-
and mercy.
-
Right.
-
And when we hold fast to truth and mercy, whenever
-
there's anything going on in any kind of relationship, we
-
need to let our minds go back to that.
-
Yep.
-
You know, what do we know? Not what we think
-
we know. Not what we were like, well, you know,
-
in a relationship, we're thinking, you know, this person is
-
doing this because of this. You know, maybe they sinned
-
against us. Maybe they did a couple of things against us.
-
But then in our minds, we stray from the truth
-
and we're not merciful. So.
-
And boy, ain't that easy. Oh, yeah. Man, that is
-
easy to not be merciful. That's not funny. That's not funny.
-
That's not funny. All right. So we might as well
-
just go ahead and jump into this. So I don't
-
know if you want to read all nine verses, but
-
once you read to the spirit moves and stops, you
-
give us.
-
May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble.
-
May the name of the God of Jacob defend you.
-
May he send you help from the sanctuary and strengthen
-
you out of Zion. May he remember all your offerings
-
and accept your burnt sacrifice.
-
Selah. Selah. So here's a Selah moment. First off, you
-
realize that, I mean, I got to talk a lot
-
about Bible prophecy here. I don't have a choice. So
-
we're told in the prophecy of Daniel 70th week that
-
in the middle of Jesus Christ ministry, he would be
-
crucified and become the Passover sacrifice. Okay. This is exactly
-
what happened. And after that, God is very clear. What
-
we owe him is sacrifices of praise. Yes. We put
-
our own will and our own desire on this burnt
-
offering sacrifice. The Bible is redundant. It is replete. And
-
the Spirit is moving, so I'm sorry, Rachel. I just
-
have to go. Once again, I don't know why the
-
Spirit keeps having me do this, but Hebrews chapter 10,
Hebrews 10 chapter mention
-
starting in verse 26 says, The word tells you the
-
difference between churchgoers and those who have been born again.
-
It says it very succinctly, so I need to make
-
sure that they understand what sacrifice he's talking about, okay? So,
-
three very simple verses. For if we sin willfully after
-
we have received knowledge of the truth, there no longer...
-
remains a sacrifice for sins but a certain fearful expectation
-
of judgment and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries
-
anyone is rejected Moses law dies without mercy on the
-
testimony of two or three witnesses of how much worse
-
punishment do you suppose he be thought worthy who has
-
trampled the son of God underfoot and counted the blood
-
of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common
-
thing and insulted the spirit of grace so this is
-
what this means Once you've been water baptized into the church,
-
if you continue sinning willfully, your baptism will take a
-
dead end right there. If you continue to willfully practicing
-
sin while the Holy Spirit is waiting to make you
-
reborn after a certain period of time, and we don't
-
know what that time frame is, no more than we
-
know the time frame for the age of accountability. But
-
there's a time by which you cross the threshold in
-
your willful sinning because you can't sin in Jesus' name.
-
That's what it just said. If you claim the name
-
of Christ and continue to willfully sin, you are trampling him.
-
And it says very, very clear, counted the blood of
-
the covenant. What's the blood of the covenant? Matthew chapter 26,
-
verse 26. We say that every time at communion, right?
-
His blood is the blood of the new covenant. If
-
we do that for too long, the spirit of grace
-
will not baptize us. So know and understand, do not
-
be misled. I have given you the information from Psalm 20.
-
Don't let the devil come in before you have a
-
chance to process it. What he's talking about, write it, please, please,
-
I'm begging you, write this down. Write down Hebrews chapter
-
10 verses 26 through 29. Don't let the devil deceive
-
you into this sin-based salvation. Jesus Christ does not save
-
you in your sin. He saves you from your sin
-
because he is your ransom. He's your ransom. He's not
-
your substitution. The word never says that. So I know
-
that was kind of lengthy. Rachel, I'm sorry, but I
-
had to. The spirit was moving. I cannot obstruct the
-
spirit of grace.
-
I can't.
-
So this is why this was a Salah moment. You're
-
supposed to understand what the prophecy of Daniel's 70th week means.
-
You're supposed to understand it. And I'm sorry, Rachel, the
-
spirit is moving again. Okay, we're going to go to
-
the prophecy of Daniel's 70th week because the Spirit is
-
just telling me that many of you are confused. I'm
-
sure the Spirit is not referencing members of Maranatha Ministries.
-
I'm sure this is somebody, and I hope it's many people,
-
that are watching or listening to this in the archives.
-
I hope that's who the Spirit is referencing here. But
-
we're going to talk about Daniel's 70th week. It's just
-
some very simple verses, verses 24 through 27. And here,
-
this is what it says. It says the Lord Jesus
-
Christ was going to make a covenant with many for
-
Daniel's 70th week. And it says in the middle of
-
that week, he's crucified. And when he's crucified, he becomes
-
the final sacrifice. Okay? Matthew chapter 26, verse 26. Look
-
that up real quick, honey. Matthew 26, 26. What is
-
Jesus Christ's blood? When he sacrificed himself, what did it become?
-
There's no such thing as dispensational theology. Okay? There's only
-
covenant theology. Read for us starting in 26, 26.
-
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it,
-
and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat,
-
this is my body. Then he took the cup and
-
gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, Drink from
-
all of you, for this is my blood of the
-
new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission
-
of sins.
-
Amen. Amen. This is true. Now during your processing of
-
this information, you can't be deceived. That's what it means.
-
It doesn't mean anything else. So in the middle, how
-
do we know this? John clearly gives us one, two,
-
three Passovers. You know beyond any shadow of a doubt.
-
This is his ministry. All academics will tell you this.
-
Jesus Christ's ministry lasted for three and a half years,
-
and that's why. So that's what it's going to say.
-
Then it's going to say, when the abomination of desolation
-
is set up, the final half of Daniel's 70th week
-
will be fulfilled. That's what it's getting ready to say, okay?
-
Okay.
-
So now you can't be deceived by confusion entering in
-
before you have understanding. Seventy weeks are determined for your
-
people and your holy city to finish transgression, to make
-
end of sin, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring
-
in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and
-
to anoint the most holy. Know therefore and understand that
-
from the going forth to restore and build Jerusalem until
-
Messiah the prince, thou shalt be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks.
-
The street shall be built again in the wall, even
-
in troublesome times. And after sixty-two weeks, Messiah shall be
-
cut off, but not for himself. And the people of
-
the prince who is to come shall destroy the city
-
and the sanctuary, and the end of it shall be
-
with a flood. Until the end of the war, desolations
-
are determined. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many
-
for one week. But in the middle of the week.
-
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And
-
on the wing of abomination. Shall be one who makes desolate.
-
Even unto the consummation which is determined. Is poured out
-
on the desolate. So he. Authoritatively told you. There was
-
the final 70th week. Which would be the ministry of
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. Halfway into it. he would be crucified.
-
A bunch of time would go by. The latter part
-
of verse 26 tells you of the destruction of Jerusalem
-
in 70 AD. Then verse 27 says a great big
-
bunch of time is going to go past. And the
-
final half of the week would not start until the
-
abomination of desolation. These things are true. They're true. Okay,
-
so with this in mind, Getting back to Psalm 20,
-
you need to understand all of these things, okay, before
-
we go to the next verse, verse 4. That's why
-
this Salah moment was incorporated, it was impregnated into God's
-
Word right here, this Salah. Okay, it's very beautiful that
-
you understand exactly what he means. And when he says
-
that he's going to send help from out of his sanctuary,
-
And Mount Zion, Hebrews chapter 12, verse 22. You cannot
-
lie about the word. The word states that Zion is
-
God's throne room in heaven. Zion is not in creation.
-
It's in heaven. Okay, I'm sorry. The spirit's moving again.
-
I got to provide the proof word. This is the
-
word of God unadulterated. This is exactly what he says.
-
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the
-
city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem with innumerable
-
company of angels. Period. Mount Zion is not on planet Earth.
-
It's not on Mars or Mercury. It's not in the
-
Andromeda galaxy. Heaven is the other dimension. There's only two dimensions.
-
Heaven's the other one. Thus saith the Lord from the
-
very beginning. I'm sorry, Rachel, just one more, I promise. Okay,
-
this is true. Read for me. Genesis 1, verse 1,
-
it says God creates two dimensions. He says he creates
-
the spiritual dimension first and then the physical dimension. Read it.
-
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
-
Praise God. Praise God. So, now you further or elaborate
-
on this. This is why the New Testament says that
-
there's families in heaven and on earth. Okay. I'm not
-
going to elaborate on that because I've already... I'm already...
-
probably making you uncomfortable because I've given so much commentary
-
so far it's very important that people understand once you
-
digest the information from the word before you reach an
-
understanding it's this period in which the devil steps in
-
and deceives you before you have a chance to process
-
it how do you process it cross references Did I
-
mention any theologians' names? No. Did I mention any commentaries? No.
-
Understanding comes from cross-referencing what God's word has said other places.
-
Is this not the only thing I've done? This is
-
how you're able to process the information with cross-references. I'm sorry, Rachel.
-
Can I add, because I think you're forgetting also the
-
power of the Holy Spirit.
-
Amen.
-
And sometimes it's a timing thing. And you're just going
-
to have to wait.
-
But in the waiting.
-
You've got to wait for Christmas to open your presents.
-
And you've got to wait for God's timing to understand
-
some things. And you have to be patient in the
-
Holy Spirit. Yes.
-
And You cannot hearken to anyone else's voice during this time.
-
I'm going to be very clear. I don't care what
-
the theologian's name is or the pastor's name or the
-
preacher's name or the priest's name or the bishop's name.
-
Those are all lies. You have to be patient and
-
only hearken to his voice. I just told you how
-
it's going to happen. The Holy Spirit's going to lead
-
you to other verses in the Bible that will explain himself.
-
He don't need a commentator.
-
And the other thing I want to say is don't
-
stop reading just because you're not understanding things.
-
That's what a lot of.
-
People do because it's very hard. You get to a
-
section in scripture that you're just not getting it. God
-
will lead you to another part of the scripture to
-
read that you can understand, that you are ready for.
-
But don't. Don't just stop because you're just like, oh,
-
this is so much brain work. Because one thing God
-
has taught me in these past few weeks is that...
-
Why did I just lose it? But God just... Why
-
did I just lose what I was going to say?
-
Spirit said no.
-
I guess not.
-
Spirit said no. Amen. Verse 4. That's enough. Verse 4.
-
Okay. Verse 4. May he grant you according to your
-
heart's desire.
-
Amen.
-
And fulfill all your purpose. We will rejoice in your salvation.
-
And in the name of our God, we'll set up
-
our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. And
-
this is talking about Jesus. So this is Jesus's heart's desire.
-
Jesus's purpose. Jesus's salvation. For us.
-
Amen. Amen. Amen. Can I answer that? Okay. I wasn't
-
going to say it, but I'm sorry. I have to
-
go all the way back to the first verse. It
-
says day of trouble. I know that. That direct phrase says,
-
Is also in Psalm 50. The Psalm of Asaph. Praise God.
-
In verse 15. Call upon me. What? In the day
-
of trouble. I will deliver you. And shall glorify me.
-
Praise God. Listen. He's emphatically telling you. I read to
-
you straight from Daniel chapter 9. He's saying that he's
Daniel 9 chapter mention
-
going to fulfill his covenant. Praise God. By gathering us together.
-
And when we're there, we're going to have what says banners.
-
That's not the only time that's in the Bible. It's
-
all over the place. And God is telling you that
-
in between is going to be a.
-
I'm giving too much. Praise God. This will be fulfilled
-
according to the word of death. Now listen. Jesus Christ
-
told you, I'm sorry. I won't go on and on.
-
I promise I won't. I must quote from God the Son.
-
Praise God. Praise God. Let me quote him. I will
-
direct quote you so that you can't be deceived. Look
-
at this in Greek. Look at it in Greek. This
-
is Jesus Christ. Now, when you see the abomination spoken
-
of by Daniel, the prophet standing in the holy place,
-
what's that say?
-
Whoever reads this, let him understand.
-
Praise God. I'm not going to elaborate no more. I
-
don't have to. You need to understand this is true.
-
These things are true. The covenant that he makes with
-
many for Daniel's 70th week is going to come true
-
in the three and a half year tribulation. And you
-
need to know, those of you that's been born again,
-
there's coming a flood of many waters that's called the
-
birth pangs. You know that intimately, right? Having six children,
-
you know you're getting ready to give birth when your
-
water breaks. Now, This does not take a rocket scientist degree. Okay.
-
God is expecting, okay, mothers to be reading his word.
-
He's expecting, you know, look, everybody. Is there anyone on
-
this planet? Because even children know when their mother's waters break.
-
And because how many nieces and nephews do I got?
-
Let's not go there. I got to observe scores of
-
them that, especially when they were five or six and
-
their mother's water would break, they got terrified. Like, what's
-
wrong with mommy? What's wrong with mommy? And they'd have
-
to rush her to the hospital.
-
This is because what you say, God's word is also polysemic.
-
Amen. Praise God.
-
Yes. And so also the flood of many waters could
-
be likened unto when we are baptized and we go under.
-
And it's loud. If you remember your baptism, when you
-
were under the water, it was loud. Like, what are
-
you hearing?
-
It sounded like... It roars. It kind of sounded.
-
Like what sounds like in a big crowd of people.
-
And then you come out, and it's silence.
-
Praise God.
-
And.
-
And the water's still in your ear, and it's plugged up,
-
and the water slowly drains out, and you're able to hear.
-
Praise God. Do you know that... And so.
-
So that's another example of coming out from many waters.
-
When we are baptized, we're coming up out of those
-
many waters of the world. And all of these voices
-
that are happening, you know, AI telling you, chat, GBT, billboards, TV, radio,
-
walking into a store, there's some stupid song going on.
-
That just doesn't mean anything or something really horrible or
-
something like that. These are the many waters. And when
-
we are baptized, we are coming up out of those waters.
-
We are coming out of those waters into the peace
-
of Christ in our hearts.
-
The water is still around us. Whatever bathtub or.
-
Or lake or wherever you got baptized, it's still there.
-
You can still look at it, but you're up out
-
of it. And that's what we are when we're in
-
the world. We're looking onto it, but we're not in it.
-
Our head isn't under the water anymore. And that's what
-
this is when we come up out of many waters too. Also,
-
also giving birth, also water breaking. But, you know, like
-
you said, if for people that have never given birth,
-
this is, um, they might never be able to understand that,
-
but they can understand being baptized and going under the
-
water and then coming out.
-
I'm only going to say one thing.
-
Okay.
-
No, I'm not. You are. Okay. Look. Read for me
-
verse 1 again, please.
-
Okay, you need to understand what that means.
-
Hebrew word is let me switch it over to Greek
-
to Hebrew see how this is really complicated in Hebrew
-
okay see this word right here means trouble okay what
-
does trouble also mean now limit what you say you
-
cannot talk about what we talked about for breakfast What
-
does trouble also mean? A female rival. The spirit says,
-
come and see.
-
Carol has a comment.
-
What are you, psychic? How do you know that?
-
It comes up on the screen.
-
Carol comments, would the woman coming out of many waters
-
be like the Israelites going through the Red Sea into
-
the wilderness? Thank you and blessings. That's exactly what it is.
-
The word actually uses that for reference. And I'm sorry, Carol,
-
I'm going to have to give you more information than
-
you wanted. For some reason, this is twice the Holy
-
Spirit's done this to me. I don't want to say it,
-
but he's forcing me to. There's all kinds of conspiracy
-
theories about 1 Peter 3, but you need to know verses...
-
20 and 21, what it's talking about, Carol, is the
-
bad people that's going to make a martyr out of you,
-
they've only been water baptized. And Jesus Christ uses that
-
in 1 Peter 3, verses 20 and 21, so that
-
you know people that's only been water baptized are going
-
to destroy you. I can't say any more. I don't
-
want to say any more.
-
Get back.
-
What verse was you reading? We've got to get off
-
that quickly. No, you're on number six.
-
Verse six.
-
Praise God.
-
All right.
-
Give it to me. Give it to me. Both barrels
-
in the chest. Point blank range. Amen. Let me say
-
amen before you even read it. Amen. Go ahead. Now
-
I know. I know. I don't think I know. I know.
-
Go ahead, baby. Sorry, I won't interrupt you.
-
Now I know. that the Lord saves his anointed. He
-
will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving
-
strength of his right hand. Amen.
-
Amen. Amen. Amen. I ain't going to preach about that
-
because I could sit here and preach for five hours straight.
-
Praise God. I could close my laptop, close that Bible,
-
and I don't need, I know what it says. I
-
could just It's amazing when you hear me do this privately, right?
-
I can just rattle them off, right? I don't need
-
any commentator or any commentary. Just give me the word, baby.
-
Give me the word. So is there anything you want
-
to talk about verse 6?
-
It pretty much speaks for itself. I don't know if
-
I should be adding to God's word at all. I
-
don't know.
-
Well, hush my mouth. You have spoken wisely. Verse 7 then.
-
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we
-
will remember the name of the Lord our God. They
-
have bowed down and fallen, but we have risen and
-
stand upright.
-
Amen. Amen. Let me preach it for you, okay? This
-
is what Revelation chapter 7 verses 9 through 17 state.
-
That's when this will be fulfilled. Matter of fact, the
-
Spirit's moving. The reason why this happens is because of
-
Hosea chapter 6 verse 2. So I'm going to have
-
Rachel read it. Let me jump over there real quick. Okay.
-
So what this says, you know, that a day is
-
like a thousand years and a thousand years is like
-
a day to the Lord, right? So he says after 2,000 years,
-
this is what he's going to do. Read verse 2
-
for me.
-
After two days, he will revive us. On the third day,
-
he will raise us up that we may live in
-
his sight.
-
Amen. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. In order to
-
prepare for this, read verse 3.
-
Let us know. Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
-
Amen.
-
His going forth is established as the morning.
-
As the morning.
-
He will come to us like the rain, like the
-
latter and the former rain to the earth.
-
Amen. To the earth. You're not going to heaven. Oh, no,
-
you're not. No. He was, wow, he was crystal clear.
-
And what blows my mind is, if you look at
-
this in Hebrew or if you look at this in Greek,
-
or you look at the equations and the alphanumerics, just
-
in those three different ways, it's so perfect and intricate,
-
it will blow your mind. I mean, you'll be lost
-
here for weeks trying to figure out everything he's trying
-
to say.
-
I just remembered what I was getting ready to say earlier.
-
So I realized that there are many times when we
-
think that we're doing something for God. We're... We're doing
-
something for God when he's actually doing something for us.
-
And for some reason, we flip the tables. And when
-
we read the Bible, we think, oh, I'm going to
-
do something for God today. I'm going to read my Bible.
-
I'm going to read my Bible. I'm going to do
-
this for God.
-
But in reality, he's doing this for us. Do you
-
realize how many thousands of years people didn't have a Bible?
-
He has... He's done this for us so we can know.
-
And I know it's.
-
Hard, but when we're able to read the Bible, it's
-
not something that we're doing for him. No. It's something
-
he's doing for us. Us being able to pray, being
-
able to talk directly to him. We're not doing that
-
for him. He's doing it for us. And it had
-
to finally click with me when somebody did something to
-
me recently that I was doing them a favor. And
-
they thought that they took it as that they were
-
doing me a favor by letting me do the favor.
-
And it just it had to happen. It hurts like crazy,
-
but it had to happen so God could teach me
-
this and show me this. Reading the Bible is not
-
a favor that we're doing for God. Praying to him
-
and praising him is not something that we're doing for him.
-
He's doing it for us by allowing us the opportunity
-
to connect with him. When we praise him, he didn't
-
have to allow us the opportunity to be able to
-
lift our voices to him to where he could hear us.
-
He can snatch your tongue right out of your head.
-
Praise God.
-
He didn't have to do that.
-
But he did.
-
And I hadn't realized that I had it all backwards.
-
And so when things happen that are upsetting and hurtful
-
that other people do to us, we have to be thankful.
-
We have to be thankful. And I have to be
-
thankful that that happened. Even though it hurt. I have
-
to be thankful that that happened. Because it happened. I
-
was able to understand what God was doing for me.
-
So of course I would forgive this person.
-
Why would I not?
-
Because God showed me something.
-
So So with that in mind, read for me. There's
-
only one reason why they're going to make a martyr
-
out of you, and it's for what she just said.
-
When you saturate your psyche with Scripture, you're not doing
-
God a favor. Read verse 9, please.
-
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the
-
altar the souls of those who had been slain for
-
the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
-
Do not hearken to commentaries or commentators. You must only
-
hearken to the Word. To the Word, praise God. Now look,
-
God goes ahead and tells you how it is they're
-
going to corrupt God's Word and turning into something that's
-
not God's Word. Read 18 and 19 for us.
-
For I testify to everyone who hears the words of
-
the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to these things...
-
god will add hit to him the plagues that are
-
written in this book 19 and if anyone takes away
-
from the words of the book of this prophecy, God
-
shall take away his part from the book of life,
-
from the holy city, and from the things which are
-
written in this book.
-
Forever and always, amen. Forever and always, amen.
-
And that's not a punishment. That's not a punishment. He already...
-
We should be thankful that we even have the chance
-
that we had a part. Like, that is the gift.
-
Right. He's saying.
-
If you're going to do this, you're going to take... Okay, well,
-
then you're not getting the gift.
-
He is saying those that have only gone through water
-
baptism are going to be taken away. We who are
-
alive and remain are those that have been reborn. Now
-
hearken to the voice of the Lord. John chapter 3,
John 3 chapter mention
-
write that down. And 1 Peter chapter 3, inscribe that somewhere.
1 Peter 3 chapter mention
-
Go to your front door and dig it in there
-
with a knife. So every time you go out into
-
the world, you know you must be reborn. Praise God.
-
Anything else? That's a pretty good one. I know this.
-
I have to limit myself. I could just get on
-
a roll, baby. Remember the old insult to anybody who
-
was born again? They called them holy rollers. They hate us.
-
They call us do-gooders.
-
Right? Well, it is part and parcel because of some
-
people who think, who are part of this, the checklisters.
-
That's a new one, the checklisters. I just dealt with
-
a checklister this morning.
-
Yeah, so there's these checklisters that think that if they're
-
helping at the food pantry on Thursdays, that that's enough.
-
They can say insulting things to the people who are
-
coming and getting food, but they're helping give out the food,
-
so they've done their good deed.
-
Yeah, they think that now God the Father is forced
-
to let them into the kingdom of heaven. They, they
-
really do think that. And I mean, they'll go psychotic
-
on you.
-
And so, and so, and so we have to be
-
careful about, about people who use those terms because they
-
have been hurt by people who claimed the blood, blood
-
of Christ, but trampled on it.
-
Oh my goodness.
-
So, so we have to be careful about those people
-
who use those terms because they have been a lot
-
of times been hurt. So they're, So we just have
-
to use discernment through the Holy Spirit to know which
-
is which. Because we can't just know by saying, the
-
people that call us this are this way. Because they're
-
not all that way.
-
Yes. Amen. I cannot add, nor will I retract. Alright,
-
so has anybody got any questions or comments? And, yes,
-
we can talk about anything. We don't particularly have to
-
talk about Psalm 20.
-
But if you want to talk privately and not have
-
it be recorded, when the recording's over, you can talk.
-
Then, too. Yes. Amen. Amen.
-
So....
-
Boy, I'm just.
-
God is telling me, no, I'm not allowed to. And
-
in other times today, I have to. Wow. Incredible. So
-
is there anything anybody wants to talk about? Questions or
-
comments before we get off here and get into the
-
private conversation? Going once. Going twice.
-
Okay. Okay.
-
Going three times. Till next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless. Godspeed.
