Can you truly hear God's voice, or are we merely content with the echoes of ancient words? Our latest episode invites you into the profound exploration of 2 Corinthians, chapter 3, where we contrast the rigid old covenant of law with the liberating new covenant of the Spirit. We journey back to Mount Sinai, questioning the long-held belief of equating written scriptures with the only form of divine communication, and challenge listeners to embrace the dynamic, living voice of God.

Unearthing the disconnect many churchgoers feel from their spiritual journey, we draw inspiration from biblical figures like Moses, Paul, and Peter, who pursued divine revelations beyond scriptures. The essence of the Spirit's authority, we argue, is not solely rooted in the text but in the life-giving words spoken by God. We discuss how churches today struggle with spiritual vitality due to the absence of this divine authority, likening it to childhood lessons where understanding exceeds mere adherence to written instructions.

The episode crescendos with the celebration of freedom in Christ, moving from the condemnation of the old law to the spirit of life in Jesus. Through a spirited discussion on the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, we highlight the role of early apostles in interpreting scriptures, urging a deeper connection beyond literal readings. We wrap up by encouraging listeners to recognize the King of Glory and to embrace their roles as vessels of divine purpose, reminding us all that true ministry is a vibrant, living reflection of God's glory.

WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.628
Glory to God, hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.

00:00:03.628 --> 00:00:06.533
We are in 2 Corinthians, chapter 3.

00:00:06.533 --> 00:00:13.507
We are talking about the ministry.

00:00:13.507 --> 00:00:23.487
We opened this subject up last time, talking about how this spirit of ministry manifests itself in three different ways.

00:00:23.487 --> 00:00:36.210
It is a spirit that ministers glory, it ministers righteousness and it is a ministry of the Spirit.

00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:38.506
Amen.

00:00:38.506 --> 00:00:40.720
Paul said this.

00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:52.930
He said that if the ministry of condemnation, which was the ministry of condemnation, which was the law written in stone, was glorious, how much more will the ministry of the Spirit be glorious?

00:00:52.930 --> 00:00:56.128
Amen, hallelujah.

00:00:56.128 --> 00:01:14.165
So this ministry that God has given us, paul said in that scripture that he has made us competent ministers of the new covenant, not of the old covenant, not of anything to do with the old covenant, but of the new covenant.

00:01:14.165 --> 00:01:19.114
Hallelujah, which is given by the Spirit and not by the letter.

00:01:19.114 --> 00:01:26.174
Now I want to reemphasize a couple of points, and then we're going to move on from that.

00:01:26.174 --> 00:01:28.584
Last time we talked about that.

00:01:28.603 --> 00:01:41.561
The context for this story is the first Pentecost at the feet of Mount Sinai, when God came down from heaven and gave the people of Israel the written word of God.

00:01:41.561 --> 00:01:44.406
Wrote it on tablets of stone Amen.

00:01:44.406 --> 00:01:46.611
That was not the intent.

00:01:46.611 --> 00:02:04.582
The intent was to speak to the people of God, but they, in their wisdom, decided that they knew more about what was right for them than God did, and they told Moses we don't want to hear any more of this God, we don't want to hear anything that he's got to say.

00:02:04.582 --> 00:02:11.103
You go up and you hear this God and then come down and tell us what he said.

00:02:11.103 --> 00:02:13.227
Amen.

00:02:13.227 --> 00:02:18.161
I will submit to you that that is the root of all sin.

00:02:18.161 --> 00:02:22.588
The love of money is not the root of all evil, amen.

00:02:22.588 --> 00:02:24.572
Or money is not the root of all evil.

00:02:24.572 --> 00:02:24.692
Amen.

00:02:24.692 --> 00:02:26.294
Our money is not the root of all evil.

00:02:26.294 --> 00:02:30.347
The love of money is a root of all evil.

00:02:30.347 --> 00:02:35.770
But the root of all sin is to reject the word that comes out of God's mouth.

00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:39.626
It's as simple as that.

00:02:39.626 --> 00:02:45.326
That's what Eve did, that's what Adam did, that's what the people of Israel did.

00:02:47.143 --> 00:03:05.081
I want you to get this smack dab in your little foreheads that every person over the age of 19 years of age that gathered themselves at the foot of that mountain and heard God speak and told Moses to go up and hear him speak, and we'll listen to what you say, but we don't want to listen to what God says.

00:03:05.081 --> 00:03:09.408
Every one of those people died, except for Joshua and Caleb.

00:03:09.408 --> 00:03:11.853
Every one of them.

00:03:11.853 --> 00:03:12.920
We're talking.

00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:18.651
Some millions of people died because they rejected the spoken word of God.

00:03:18.651 --> 00:03:21.540
Hallelujah Now.

00:03:21.540 --> 00:03:26.832
Instead of the spoken word of God, they got the written word of God.

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:31.864
That was not God's intent.

00:03:31.864 --> 00:03:44.058
God's intent was to create a nation of people who were obedient to what God spoke, to what God spoke.

00:03:44.058 --> 00:03:51.841
Hello, god didn't listen.

00:03:51.841 --> 00:03:54.367
Will you please read your Bibles and understand what the Bible says?

00:03:54.908 --> 00:03:59.491
God did not call Moses up on the mountain and give him the Ten Commandments.

00:03:59.491 --> 00:04:08.532
As the first thing that he did, read where the Ten Commandments originate in Exodus, chapter 19 and 20.

00:04:08.532 --> 00:04:13.512
Read it and you'll find out that that's what God spoke when he started to speak.

00:04:13.512 --> 00:04:22.041
Don't look at me like I'm a calf coming out of a new gate, you know.

00:04:22.041 --> 00:04:27.290
This is what happened the thunderings, the lightnings, the smoke.

00:04:27.290 --> 00:04:30.314
The mountain was trembling.

00:04:30.314 --> 00:04:31.495
There were earthquakes.

00:04:31.495 --> 00:04:44.004
The geological testimony of the top of that mountain testifies to a presence of heat on those rocks that was the equivalent of a heat that is hotter than the core of the sun.

00:04:44.004 --> 00:04:54.593
And God spoke thou shalt not have.

00:04:54.593 --> 00:04:58.196
I am the Lord, thy God, who brought thee out of Egypt.

00:04:58.196 --> 00:05:04.088
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

00:05:04.088 --> 00:05:10.235
And he started to speak and the people freaked out.

00:05:11.579 --> 00:05:17.711
Now, when Moses went up, he got the second edition.

00:05:17.711 --> 00:05:18.072
Yes, he did.

00:05:18.072 --> 00:05:25.795
He didn't get the spoken word, he got the written word by the finger of God.

00:05:25.795 --> 00:05:28.281
Do you not remember what Jesus said?

00:05:28.281 --> 00:05:36.714
Jesus said if I cast out devils by the finger of God, then who do your people cast them out by?

00:05:36.714 --> 00:05:51.259
That's that same finger that wrote the law, but once it got written into stone, wrote the law, but once it got written into stone, it became something other than his voice.

00:05:51.259 --> 00:05:52.081
Then it became listen.

00:05:52.101 --> 00:05:53.125
I'm going to be honest with you.

00:05:53.125 --> 00:06:04.879
The whole Old Testament Genesis, exodus, leviticus, numbers, deuteronomy written by Moses, is secondhand information.

00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.326
Written by Moses is secondhand information.

00:06:09.326 --> 00:06:13.033
Anything that is written down in the Bible is secondhand information.

00:06:13.033 --> 00:06:14.454
Now I'll give it to you.

00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:24.351
I believe it with all my heart that the Bible says that the holy men of old were breathed on by the Holy Ghost and they wrote exactly what God said.

00:06:24.351 --> 00:06:29.132
But it is not the same as hearing him say it.

00:06:29.132 --> 00:07:14.880
And that is the great error of modern religious thinking that this is the same as hearing God speak and that this is all that God has ever said oh you, look at me like you know, that's exactly what they believe and because of that that's right and because of that they think this exactly what the people of Israel did.

00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:37.146
They said we don't want to hear that voice, we don't even believe he's speaking, but just in case he is still speaking, we want you, preacher, to go up that mountain and get that word and bring it back to us, because we don't want to hear that voice, we don't want the responsibility of it, we don't want the terror of it, we don't want anything to do with it.

00:07:37.146 --> 00:07:38.805
We don't want anything to do with that voice.

00:07:38.805 --> 00:07:39.548
You go up.

00:07:39.548 --> 00:07:51.952
That's been a consistent listen, a consistent error in all religion for 3,500 years.

00:07:51.952 --> 00:07:54.721
You go up.

00:07:54.721 --> 00:07:59.913
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:07:59.913 --> 00:08:00.961
So we've got.

00:08:01.502 --> 00:08:19.473
You know churches all over the place that since the people don't want to go up you need to hear this since the people don't want to go up, and the preachers, they know that since the people won't go up, they don't have to go up.

00:08:19.473 --> 00:08:28.846
They can sell them anything and tell them they've been up there, but the only thing is they're not glowing.

00:08:28.846 --> 00:08:36.926
There's no glory, there's no manifestation, there's no reality of the presence.

00:08:36.926 --> 00:08:41.490
Hallelujah, at least when Moses went up and took dictation.

00:08:41.490 --> 00:08:50.774
He came down and had glowing glory all over him Amen.

00:08:51.601 --> 00:08:54.650
When people say you go up, we don't want to hear this voice.

00:08:54.650 --> 00:08:59.750
At least, if the man of God goes up, he ought to bring something that is worthy of the glory.

00:08:59.750 --> 00:09:11.009
But yet what people expect is that you go up on the mountain and then come back and preach to us.

00:09:11.009 --> 00:09:14.750
But if it's not out of this word for word, we don't want to hear it.

00:09:14.750 --> 00:09:19.644
Well, what was the point of the man of God going up on the mountain?

00:09:19.644 --> 00:09:20.647
For you already got this.

00:09:20.647 --> 00:09:24.854
Amen.

00:09:24.874 --> 00:09:34.042
Hmm, see, somebody went up.

00:09:34.042 --> 00:09:35.144
Paul went up, peter went up, john went up.

00:09:35.144 --> 00:09:39.333
John was on the island called Patmos and he was in the spirit on the Lord's day and he turned to hear a voice.

00:09:39.333 --> 00:09:41.864
John went up.

00:09:41.864 --> 00:09:42.625
You don't believe me.

00:09:42.625 --> 00:09:44.828
The voice said come up hither.

00:09:44.828 --> 00:09:46.432
And he went up.

00:09:46.432 --> 00:09:49.726
He got the bulk of revelation in heaven.

00:09:49.726 --> 00:09:53.706
They went up and they got it.

00:09:53.706 --> 00:09:56.585
Praise God.

00:09:56.585 --> 00:09:58.152
Are we hearing this?

00:09:58.152 --> 00:10:01.626
Are we understanding what God's trying to tell us here?

00:10:01.626 --> 00:10:07.660
Praise the Lord Now.

00:10:07.660 --> 00:10:12.489
Just so that you understand why this is.

00:10:12.489 --> 00:10:18.284
We'll get to, why it's important, but to just understand how this works.

00:10:18.284 --> 00:10:22.587
Okay, the Lord gave me this illustration.

00:10:22.587 --> 00:10:26.594
I never thought of this before, never used it before, but he gave me this illustration.

00:10:26.594 --> 00:10:27.720
I'd never thought of this before, never used it before.

00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:29.784
Okay, but he gave me this illustration.

00:10:30.586 --> 00:10:38.354
How many of you, when you were children and you were old enough to go off their parents, to go off and leave you by yourself?

00:10:38.354 --> 00:10:44.450
You know, and mom would at least my mom did this.

00:10:44.450 --> 00:10:49.788
I'm sure your mothers did this If they you know, if they didn't they'd probably did something similar.

00:10:49.788 --> 00:11:02.893
They would write down a list of things they expected you to do before they got home Usually not enough at fun, you know, like make your bed, clean your room, you know.

00:11:02.893 --> 00:11:09.092
Do the dishes, you know, mow the grass, you know, et cetera, et cetera.

00:11:09.092 --> 00:11:30.736
But then with my mom, there was always something that she added which was not on the list, which she spoke out of her mouth into my hearing, and that was you are not to go outside and play until all of this list is finished.

00:11:30.736 --> 00:11:46.504
And if you go outside and play and this list is not finished, then not only will I know about it, but there's somebody else in this family that's going to know about it and you don't want that other person to know about it.

00:11:46.504 --> 00:11:48.730
That would be my dad.

00:11:51.735 --> 00:12:07.022
See, my dad had my, my mom and dad had this secret society um pledge going to each with each other that if I caused my mother trouble, my dad didn't even ask questions, he didn't even.

00:12:07.022 --> 00:12:08.626
He didn't even it didn't pass go.

00:12:08.626 --> 00:12:09.990
He didn't collect $200.

00:12:09.990 --> 00:12:11.927
He didn't even ask me what happened.

00:12:11.927 --> 00:12:16.308
He didn't ask for an explanation, he just told me to get in the bedroom and drop trowel.

00:12:16.308 --> 00:12:21.283
Assume the position.

00:12:21.283 --> 00:12:24.471
Yes, he did.

00:12:24.471 --> 00:12:27.549
I mean, you know the last thing I ever wanted to happen.

00:12:27.549 --> 00:12:32.447
I'd rather get chased around the house with a broom by my mother than have to deal with my dad.

00:12:32.447 --> 00:12:36.089
And that was just the way it is.

00:12:36.089 --> 00:12:44.091
And mom said if you don't do these things that are written, a greater thing is going to happen to you.

00:12:44.091 --> 00:12:47.903
Now see, that wasn't written.

00:12:47.903 --> 00:12:50.309
You're not following me.

00:12:50.309 --> 00:12:51.732
That was not written.

00:12:52.080 --> 00:13:10.672
The list of things to do was written, but the authority which gave the list had something else to say and something else to add concerning the list.

00:13:10.672 --> 00:13:15.789
Well, I feel the Holy Ghost Amen.

00:13:15.789 --> 00:13:25.948
And there was some blessings and some non-blessings associated with the list which only came out of the mouth.

00:13:25.948 --> 00:13:37.514
Now somebody else could pick up that list and say you know that's just a fine list.

00:13:37.514 --> 00:13:40.909
That's one of the finest lists I've ever seen.

00:13:40.909 --> 00:13:48.905
You know, I think that's a good enough list to pass out to every person and they could live by this list, amen.

00:13:48.905 --> 00:14:04.966
But if you don't have the authority of my dad and the forearms that made him look like Popeye's older brother, and a board that you didn't even want to meet, amen.

00:14:04.966 --> 00:14:11.354
If you didn't have that behind you, this list means absolutely nothing Over a couple of generations.

00:14:11.354 --> 00:14:17.163
You know, making the bed turns into who knows what.

00:14:17.163 --> 00:14:19.226
All right, is anybody getting this?

00:14:21.469 --> 00:14:42.986
The authority behind this is the word of God, the word that he spoke to Abraham, the word that he spoke to Noah, the word that he spoke to Enoch, the word that he spoke to Seth, the word that he spoke to Abraham.

00:14:42.986 --> 00:14:46.033
That's the authority behind this.

00:14:46.033 --> 00:14:55.953
That's the authority that gave Moses the authority to write it in the first place.

00:14:55.953 --> 00:14:58.168
Gave David the authority to write it.

00:14:58.168 --> 00:15:00.388
Gave Samuel the authority to write it.

00:15:00.388 --> 00:15:05.990
Not the fact that God speaks, but that he spoke to men of old.

00:15:05.990 --> 00:15:08.000
Oh God, I wish I could preach.

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:16.140
God spoke to men of old by the prophets, but in this day he has spoken to us by his son.

00:15:16.140 --> 00:15:23.868
It is that spoken word that gives the entire authority to what is written.

00:15:26.890 --> 00:15:30.134
Without that, all you've got is words on a page.

00:15:30.134 --> 00:15:41.607
You've got the letter, and the Bible says Paul said this the letter kills, the spirit gives life, and that applies to the new covenant as well as to the old.

00:15:41.607 --> 00:15:49.517
That's why you have so many churches that are as dead as a doornail, but they read this scripture every week.

00:15:49.517 --> 00:15:56.072
Yes, yes, the difference is who belongs to the authority.

00:15:56.072 --> 00:15:58.017
Well, of course, you are the only child that belongs to the authority.

00:15:58.017 --> 00:15:59.360
That's right.

00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:06.889
So somebody else that picks up this list, they can say it's a good list, but they haven't got that spoken authority that goes with it.

00:16:10.743 --> 00:16:12.248
See, I'll submit to you all day long.

00:16:12.248 --> 00:16:18.405
You know, you need, you need to read this book and you need to read the new Testament Like you read nothing else.

00:16:18.405 --> 00:16:23.807
You need to read it and read it, and read it, and read it, and read it, and read it, and read it, and read it, and read it.

00:16:23.807 --> 00:16:48.174
But that does not substitute hearing the voice that spoke these words into existence, because only with that authority can the written word become alive and become real and become interpreted by the one who wrote it, not by some system of denomination or men's thoughts.

00:16:48.174 --> 00:17:06.090
See, the worst thing that could happen to this Bible and it has happened is it becomes an academic exercise or it becomes a denominational club you know to beat you over the head with, if you don't come into submission.

00:17:06.090 --> 00:17:13.286
Well, see, who has become the authority, the denomination or the one who wrote it.

00:17:13.286 --> 00:17:17.105
Think about that now.

00:17:17.105 --> 00:17:21.304
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:17:22.148 --> 00:17:44.191
Now, what Paul is trying to get across to us in the third chapter of 2 Corinthians is simply this that if Moses went up on the mountain and when he got the word of God, that was actually condemnation unto death, do you not?

00:17:44.191 --> 00:17:54.064
This is all so clear to me, but I know it's not to everybody.

00:17:54.064 --> 00:17:58.067
Moses, when they rejected the voice of God, they condemned themselves to death.

00:17:58.067 --> 00:18:03.233
But God wrote out the writ of condemnation.

00:18:03.233 --> 00:18:05.836
I better help you out here.

00:18:05.836 --> 00:18:07.979
I better help you out here.

00:18:07.979 --> 00:18:09.986
I better help you out here.

00:18:09.986 --> 00:18:11.269
See, I don't know anybody that.

00:18:11.269 --> 00:18:14.558
I've never heard this in my life out of the mouth of anybody.

00:18:14.558 --> 00:18:17.127
It doesn't mean anything, but I've never heard it.

00:18:17.127 --> 00:18:26.963
Psalms 149 says this Hallelujah, praise God.

00:18:26.963 --> 00:18:29.191
Is this helping you at all?

00:18:29.191 --> 00:18:35.165
Glory to God.

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:40.692
Verse 9 says to execute on them the written judgment.

00:18:40.692 --> 00:18:55.651
See, god judged them at the foot of the mountain, but he had to have a written judgment that would condemn them to death, because all of them were going to die.

00:18:55.651 --> 00:18:59.582
That was the judgment, but it had to be written.

00:18:59.582 --> 00:19:06.634
So Moses went up on the mountain and got the condemnation written in stone.

00:19:06.634 --> 00:19:14.009
Yes, he did.

00:19:14.009 --> 00:19:36.550
He got the condemnation written in stone and because they stood in the place for all of the generations of Jews that would follow them, their seed was condemned unto death Because they could not obey what God had said.

00:19:36.550 --> 00:19:43.266
Paul said this there's no faith in the law, there's no life in the law.

00:19:43.266 --> 00:19:45.607
There is a condemnation to death.

00:19:45.607 --> 00:19:47.124
Who got condemned to death?

00:19:47.124 --> 00:19:50.051
Every one of them that heard the voice and rejected it.

00:19:50.051 --> 00:19:54.448
So by the time Jesus came in on the scene amen.

00:19:54.448 --> 00:20:01.223
There was nobody even listening to the letter of the law that was given.

00:20:01.223 --> 00:20:14.970
They were listening to men's opinions about the law, which is, I mean, just a whole level of stupidity beyond not listening, which is the world we live in today.

00:20:14.970 --> 00:20:16.804
This is the world we live in today.

00:20:17.846 --> 00:20:27.707
You're not hearing a word I'm saying when Jesus came to the Jews and he said you make the word of God of no effect.

00:20:27.707 --> 00:20:45.026
It is written that you should honor your mother and father, that the days on your earth may be long, and you say instead that you can pay a bribe off to the priest and be absolved of your responsibility to take care of him in their old age.

00:20:45.026 --> 00:20:49.304
So Moses never told you to do that.

00:20:49.304 --> 00:20:51.682
That's not what Moses told you to do.

00:20:51.682 --> 00:20:55.654
You've taken the word of God and totally made it of none effect.

00:20:55.654 --> 00:21:11.482
In other words, when you obey what Rabbi so-and-so said 500 years ago, rather than what Moses said, amen, you're taking that word and robbing it of all of the promises, the blessings and the unblessings.

00:21:11.482 --> 00:21:13.221
Are you getting what I'm saying?

00:21:13.221 --> 00:21:22.105
So they were all living under a curse of disobedience because they had taken the word and not even believed what Moses had said.

00:21:22.105 --> 00:21:27.362
That's why Jesus could say if you don't believe what Moses has said, how are you going to believe what I say?

00:21:27.362 --> 00:21:34.519
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:21:34.818 --> 00:21:50.444
There had to be a written condemnation so that those oh, thank you Jesus so that those that were in the loins of those that were in front of the mountain could be held accountable for the same sin.

00:21:50.444 --> 00:21:57.740
Praise God.

00:21:57.740 --> 00:22:03.386
I'm telling you to reject the voice of God is a serious business with the Lord.

00:22:03.386 --> 00:22:08.786
Serious, serious business, praise God.

00:22:08.786 --> 00:22:16.348
Now here is what this all kind of simplifies down to.

00:22:16.494 --> 00:22:40.824
And Paul says this when Moses went up on the mountain and he got the condemnation unto death and he came down and the getting of that condemnation produced glory on his face to the extent that the people of Israel had to put a veil over his face to keep him from just being a walking act of death.

00:22:40.824 --> 00:22:43.402
Do you not understand what was happening, folks?

00:22:43.402 --> 00:22:50.204
He came up, the glory of God was so strong on him that if he walked through the people of Israel, they're going to die like this.

00:22:50.204 --> 00:22:52.874
And they weren't appointed unto that kind of a death.

00:22:52.874 --> 00:22:58.694
They were appointed unto a slow, torturous death out in the wilderness.

00:22:58.694 --> 00:23:07.634
Torturous death out in the wilderness.

00:23:07.634 --> 00:23:15.816
Glory to God, hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:23:15.836 --> 00:23:22.803
Now he said, if that Moses came down and his face shone that way, bringing the condemnation, the writ of judgment against them, what does the Bible say?

00:23:22.803 --> 00:23:25.566
Listen, folks, this is not difficult.

00:23:25.566 --> 00:23:29.529
You just have to not be confined to the realm of religion.

00:23:29.529 --> 00:23:31.230
What did Jesus say?

00:23:31.230 --> 00:23:34.277
What does the New Testament say?

00:23:34.277 --> 00:23:55.093
The New Testament says that the writ of condemnation was nailed to the cross of condemnation was nailed to the cross so that that writ is no longer applicable to us, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death.

00:23:55.093 --> 00:23:59.265
Hallelujah Took that law took that writ of condemnation.

00:24:01.357 --> 00:24:03.125
I mean you can't just take anybody.

00:24:03.125 --> 00:24:06.404
You can't pull somebody off the street and take them out and hang them.

00:24:06.404 --> 00:24:09.220
You can't do that.

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:17.423
You may be big enough, you may be bad enough, you may have 10 guys with you, but I guarantee you there's going to be 20 guys stronger and better armed than you are.

00:24:17.423 --> 00:24:20.291
That's going to come after guys stronger and better armed than you are.

00:24:20.291 --> 00:24:24.541
It's going to come after you if you do that Now.

00:24:24.541 --> 00:24:31.564
People used to be able to get away with that because it was dark, it was not very populated, people didn't know what was going on.

00:24:31.564 --> 00:24:32.988
But you can't do that.

00:24:32.988 --> 00:24:42.044
You can't just well this guy if there's a trial for murder, amen.

00:24:43.826 --> 00:24:45.667
There are two phases to the trial.

00:24:45.667 --> 00:24:56.513
There's the hearing of fact and the jury rendering a verdict, and then there's the trial concerning sentencing.

00:24:56.513 --> 00:24:58.923
There's two aspects to a trial like that.

00:24:58.923 --> 00:25:07.619
You know there's going to be you that we're going to get together, we're going to decide whether he's guilty or not, and once we decide he's guilty, then we're going to decide what penalty is concerned.

00:25:07.619 --> 00:25:16.747
And if we decide to put him to death, then there is a statement, a writ of execution, a writ of condemnation.

00:25:16.747 --> 00:25:19.054
You've all seen it in the movies.

00:25:19.054 --> 00:25:24.365
The judge bangs the gavel and said you are now sentenced to be hanged by the neck until dead.

00:25:24.365 --> 00:25:26.189
May God have mercy on your soul.

00:25:26.189 --> 00:25:27.998
You know, you've heard all that stuff.

00:25:27.998 --> 00:25:31.988
You know Well, that was the writ of condemnation.

00:25:34.516 --> 00:25:39.924
And Jesus took that writ of condemnation and said no more, we're not having that.

00:25:39.924 --> 00:25:49.189
No more, we're going to have a different end of the process and that is going to be glorification.

00:25:49.189 --> 00:25:53.498
So the Bible says, paul says this.

00:25:53.498 --> 00:26:04.474
He says if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious will be the ministry of the Spirit?

00:26:04.474 --> 00:26:07.640
Who ministers the real glory?

00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:21.429
That is not the glory reflected by Moses just by being in the presence of God, but it is the glory of the new creation that was brought forth when Jesus was raised from the dead.

00:26:21.429 --> 00:26:24.700
See, moses was never raised from the dead.

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:26.704
He didn't have that kind of glory.

00:26:26.704 --> 00:26:28.678
He had a glory.

00:26:28.678 --> 00:26:31.527
I'm not backpedaling off of what Moses had.

00:26:31.527 --> 00:26:34.556
My goodness, we don't find anybody else doing that.

00:26:34.556 --> 00:26:41.182
But Jesus, when he came up out of the grave had a different kind of glory.

00:26:41.182 --> 00:26:49.372
Amen, hallelujah.

00:26:49.372 --> 00:27:14.730
And the Bible says and the Bible wants us to get clearly on board with this, clearly on board with this that this ministry of glory is a ministry that comes by the revelation of the spoken word of God, which will bring revelation upon the written word of God.

00:27:16.797 --> 00:27:19.025
But you don't get revelation by study.

00:27:19.025 --> 00:27:19.827
You don't get revelation by study.

00:27:19.827 --> 00:27:21.815
You don't get revelation by reading.

00:27:21.815 --> 00:27:29.182
You don't get revelation by just living your life knowing the scriptures.

00:27:29.182 --> 00:27:30.882
You don't get revelation by that.

00:27:30.882 --> 00:27:44.903
You get the performance of obedience to the letter, of obedience to the letter.

00:27:44.903 --> 00:27:56.765
Only by the Spirit do you get revelation, do you get illumination, do you get understanding, do you get the ability to connect dots that other people don't get?

00:27:56.765 --> 00:28:07.518
You know you don't even get them when you chase references and you do a concordance and stuff, like all that stuff's good, all that stuff's fine, but there was a written word before.

00:28:07.518 --> 00:28:09.403
We had strong concordances.

00:28:09.403 --> 00:28:15.500
There was a written word even before they had chapter and verse divisions, amen.

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:19.628
And there was a spoken word that preceded the written word.

00:28:19.628 --> 00:28:26.154
And there was a spoken word that preceded the written word.

00:28:26.634 --> 00:28:28.778
Who connected the dots back then?

00:28:28.778 --> 00:28:34.328
Who connected the dots for those thousands of people that came in following the days of Pentecost.

00:28:34.328 --> 00:28:39.375
Who did the dot connecting there?

00:28:39.375 --> 00:28:40.423
Well, I'll tell you what happened.

00:28:40.423 --> 00:28:44.260
The Bible says in Acts, chapter two, that they followed after the apostles doctrine.

00:28:44.260 --> 00:28:47.827
The apostles connected the dots.

00:28:47.827 --> 00:28:52.843
Dot number one this is these men being.

00:28:52.843 --> 00:28:54.928
Be not drunk, as you suppose, but this is.

00:28:54.928 --> 00:29:02.317
This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel, that in the last day, saith God, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh.

00:29:02.317 --> 00:29:10.182
That was dot number one Pulled an entire chapter out of the book, an obscure passage out of the book of Joel.

00:29:10.682 --> 00:29:12.826
Don't tell me, peter already had that memorized.

00:29:12.826 --> 00:29:15.377
He had no more had that memorized than a pig could fly.

00:29:15.377 --> 00:29:21.809
He came right out of his mouth by the Holy Ghost of God and pronounced that dot applies to today.

00:29:21.809 --> 00:29:26.221
This is that, this is that, this is that.

00:29:26.221 --> 00:29:31.926
Now, this is that which God does.

00:29:31.926 --> 00:29:45.731
Really well, he'll take this dot way back here and says this is that, or this, this, this is that and that, or this, this, this is that and that.

00:29:45.731 --> 00:29:51.467
Oh, and, by the way, a little bit more of this.

00:29:51.467 --> 00:29:52.269
Listen to me, folks.

00:29:55.394 --> 00:30:07.403
You can read this scripture from Matthew to Revelation, and I encourage you to do so faithfully and regularly and consistently, and like a hungry meat eater.

00:30:07.403 --> 00:30:10.041
I encourage you to do that.

00:30:10.041 --> 00:30:13.625
And you can read it chronologically.

00:30:13.625 --> 00:30:30.936
You can read it book by book, chapter by chapter, but you cannot read it like this, by chapter, but you cannot read it like this.

00:30:30.936 --> 00:30:31.738
Only God can do that.

00:30:31.738 --> 00:30:35.363
Only God can read this way through the pages to connect one verse with another.

00:30:35.363 --> 00:30:39.107
And so have you thought about how this relates to this?

00:30:39.107 --> 00:30:46.616
See, because when God spoke it, it didn't come out.

00:30:46.616 --> 00:30:51.160
It doesn't matter if it was written chronologically, it didn't come out of his mouth.

00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:52.520
That way it never does.

00:30:53.320 --> 00:30:55.403
When God speaks, it is timeless.

00:30:55.403 --> 00:30:58.505
When God speaks, he speaks the whole thing.

00:30:58.505 --> 00:31:09.913
Do you not understand this, folks, that the book of Matthew is summed up in one sentence Jesus the Christ, the son of Abraham, the son of David.

00:31:09.913 --> 00:31:15.131
End of discussion.

00:31:15.131 --> 00:31:26.884
Everything else in Matthew is that sentence in God's eyes, peter's gospel, the gospel of Mark.

00:31:26.884 --> 00:31:34.211
In the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ there was a man named John.

00:31:34.211 --> 00:31:37.038
End of discussion.

00:31:37.038 --> 00:31:40.623
The whole rest of the gospel can be summed same way with John's gospel.

00:31:40.623 --> 00:31:44.347
Summed up In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.

00:31:44.347 --> 00:31:55.070
He was in the beginning, with God, all things were made by Him and there was nothing made that was not made through Him.

00:31:55.070 --> 00:31:55.894
End of discussion.

00:31:56.634 --> 00:31:57.135
You could skip.

00:31:57.135 --> 00:31:58.819
You could go right from there to the 21st chapter.

00:31:58.819 --> 00:32:00.222
Do you believe this?

00:32:00.222 --> 00:32:12.000
These things are written that you might believe in, believing, have faith in the Son of God and have life.

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:13.740
You don't need to read a whole lot.

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:16.663
You can read all of Revelation all you want to.

00:32:16.663 --> 00:32:18.945
I encourage you to do it.

00:32:18.945 --> 00:32:35.055
But until you get a grip on the fact that a blind man turned to hear sounds, turned to see sounds, you won't understand one thing about the book of Revelation.

00:32:35.055 --> 00:32:42.342
There was a blind man on the Isle of Patmos that was in the spirit of the Lord day and he turned to see the sound.

00:32:42.342 --> 00:32:46.460
Oh my God, see, right there.

00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:54.469
You got to know that the rest of the next 20, 22 chapters is going to be in a realm that you don't even understand.

00:32:54.469 --> 00:32:59.519
But John understood it.

00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:01.784
John understood it.

00:33:01.784 --> 00:33:10.423
John understood that when the spirit said come up here, he went up there.

00:33:10.423 --> 00:33:14.729
Most of us, if the Lord said come up here, we'd say wait a minute, lord, I got some things to take care of first.

00:33:14.729 --> 00:33:20.239
We might not come back, so we'll make sure my will's in place.

00:33:20.239 --> 00:33:21.501
John was already a dead man.

00:33:21.501 --> 00:33:24.027
He'd been dead for 60 years.

00:33:24.027 --> 00:33:30.194
His body just didn't know it yet.

00:33:30.516 --> 00:33:31.538
Glory to God.

00:33:31.538 --> 00:33:33.045
Who is this king of glory?

00:33:33.045 --> 00:33:40.066
That's really what I want to get to.

00:33:40.066 --> 00:33:41.888
That's what the Lord was speaking to me this morning.

00:33:41.888 --> 00:33:46.771
Who is this King of glory?

00:33:46.771 --> 00:33:48.876
He is the Lord mighty in battle.

00:33:48.876 --> 00:33:50.278
Who is this King of glory?

00:33:50.278 --> 00:33:53.423
Lift up your heads, o ye gates, and be them.

00:33:53.423 --> 00:33:57.087
Lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

00:33:57.087 --> 00:33:58.911
Who is this King of glory?

00:33:58.911 --> 00:34:01.237
He is the Lord of hosts.

00:34:01.237 --> 00:34:03.657
He's the same one that met Joshua on the road.

00:34:03.657 --> 00:34:08.876
He's the same one that stopped the sun against the battle of the Amalekites.

00:34:08.876 --> 00:34:11.298
Are you hearing any of this today?

00:34:11.298 --> 00:34:17.646
This king of glory, amen, is outside the written word.

00:34:17.646 --> 00:34:35.528
He's like my mama Don't go outside until you get this done, or else that wasn't on the list.

00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.130
Wasn't anything on that list about not going outside?

00:34:40.130 --> 00:34:47.190
She didn't say one thing about that on the list, but I could have forgotten everything.

00:34:47.190 --> 00:34:50.543
I could have forgotten everything that was on the list and done it because I knew what she wanted done.

00:34:50.543 --> 00:34:55.141
You know, same thing every time, you know, but I could remember the voice.

00:34:55.141 --> 00:35:02.760
And I remember Dad coming in the door with that look Like he'd already heard.

00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:03.583
How did he know?

00:35:03.583 --> 00:35:06.574
How did he know?

00:35:06.574 --> 00:35:12.340
Like the kids, they were convinced.

00:35:12.340 --> 00:35:17.822
We had eyes in the back of our head and they were convinced.

00:35:17.822 --> 00:35:19.398
They were just.

00:35:19.398 --> 00:35:20.963
You know, it's not fair.

00:35:20.963 --> 00:35:22.057
God talks to you.

00:35:22.057 --> 00:35:23.260
Where were you?

00:35:23.260 --> 00:35:24.224
Well, I was over here.

00:35:24.224 --> 00:35:25.126
No, you weren't.

00:35:25.126 --> 00:35:26.994
You were over yonder doing this, that and the other.

00:35:26.994 --> 00:35:28.460
Oh, that's not fair, dad.

00:35:28.460 --> 00:35:29.500
God talks to you.

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:34.619
I said that's right.

00:35:34.619 --> 00:35:37.981
You better remember that too.

00:35:37.981 --> 00:35:45.063
See, you won't find that written anywhere in the Bible, but somewhere in between the lines.

00:35:45.063 --> 00:35:47.139
Dad talks to God.

00:35:47.139 --> 00:35:48.764
God talks to dad.

00:35:48.764 --> 00:35:50.782
I can't get away with anything.

00:35:57.235 --> 00:35:58.099
Glory to God.

00:35:58.099 --> 00:36:00.742
Who is this king of glory?

00:36:00.742 --> 00:36:02.880
See, we got to come to grips with this.

00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:16.771
The ministry that we have is in a realm that is unlike anything that we see, touch, feel, have anything to do with.

00:36:16.771 --> 00:36:22.527
That way, this ministry is a totally unnatural ministry.

00:36:22.527 --> 00:36:25.260
It is a new creation ministry.

00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:27.547
It is a ministry of glory.

00:36:27.547 --> 00:36:32.257
It's not a ministry, it's not a warmed up ministry of Aaron.

00:36:33.621 --> 00:36:35.304
That's what the Catholics have tried to do.

00:36:35.304 --> 00:36:39.559
That's what the second generation, the second generation church.

00:36:39.559 --> 00:37:02.327
They turned it into a warmed up Judaism, and that was by design that the Jewish sorcerers got in and infiltrated the early Christian church and turned it into a Jewish form of Christianity and stole all the power and the glory out of it, of Christianity.

00:37:02.327 --> 00:37:08.880
And stole all the power and the glory out of it Because they still believe that the glory was over at the mercy seat in Jerusalem, even though it had been destroyed by that time.

00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:13.797
Hallelujah.

00:37:14.862 --> 00:37:35.485
But God, the one who wrote the letters amen but still speaks the word, they say God, the one who wrote the letters Amen but still speaks the word, has said he is getting this kind of nonsense out of his body.

00:37:35.485 --> 00:37:48.664
Vessels that will be filled with his glory, so that they can be the ones on the earth who are covering the earth with the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

00:37:48.664 --> 00:37:59.201
Now you think you know, when you read that prophecy in the book of Habakkuk, you know that the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.

00:37:59.201 --> 00:38:03.009
The knowledge of the glory of the Lord is what it says.

00:38:03.009 --> 00:38:06.746
The knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the water covers the sea.

00:38:06.746 --> 00:38:17.963
You think of this fairy dust coming down from heaven and just kind of turning the globe of the earth into this golden orb and we just feel real good about being.

00:38:17.963 --> 00:38:18.965
That's not what that means.

00:38:18.965 --> 00:38:26.822
It means that people will know of the glory Right all over the planet.

00:38:26.822 --> 00:38:31.561
Some will be dispensers and some will not, but all will know of the glory.

00:38:31.561 --> 00:38:39.623
Now, some will be dispensers and some will not, because the ones that will not are the ones that will reject the word of the Lord spoken.

00:38:39.623 --> 00:38:41.860
Are you getting any of this?

00:38:41.860 --> 00:38:54.027
I'm trying to get to a point here I'm covering a lot of things, but I'm trying to get to a point here that things will not happen to the church until they become proficient in hearing the voice of the Lord.

00:38:54.027 --> 00:39:00.641
I'm keeping my eye on this.

00:39:00.681 --> 00:39:03.467
There's a building project down at where is it?

00:39:03.467 --> 00:39:05.994
I-30 and 820.

00:39:05.994 --> 00:39:24.626
I don't know where those folks started, but they, they took over a, an old shopping building over on on I 30 in Santa Fe, or, uh, santa Fe, um, yeah, oh, between chair lane and and Las Vegas, and uh, they, they were in that.

00:39:24.626 --> 00:39:33.527
It's called the open door church, I think, or something like that, the Door, I don't know, something like that.

00:39:33.527 --> 00:39:34.210
You'll see it.

00:39:34.210 --> 00:39:40.380
Anyway, they're building this monstrosity of a building out there I mean this huge building.

00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:43.043
I go by every time.

00:39:43.043 --> 00:39:44.097
I pray Lord.

00:39:44.097 --> 00:39:45.543
I hope they have the money for that.

00:39:45.543 --> 00:39:49.923
I hope that they are not borrowing money for that.

00:39:49.923 --> 00:39:53.219
I hope that they've raised the money and they're paying cash for it.

00:39:53.219 --> 00:40:03.528
Because if they have borrowed the money for that, god help them as to what they will do to coerce people into helping them pay that debt off.

00:40:03.528 --> 00:40:09.423
There is no hope that they're going to preach anything short of the truth.

00:40:09.423 --> 00:40:13.913
There is no hope that they're going to preach anything short of the truth Any way, shape or form.

00:40:13.913 --> 00:40:17.474
They can't possibly do that and coerce people to come in there by the hundreds to pay off that debt.

00:40:17.474 --> 00:40:20.443
It just stresses me out when I look at it.

00:40:20.443 --> 00:40:23.023
I go God, I hope they have the money to pay for that.

00:40:23.023 --> 00:40:25.063
Jesus, give them the money to pay for that.

00:40:26.478 --> 00:40:27.702
I don't want God's people.

00:40:27.702 --> 00:40:29.800
I don't care if they're not doing anything.

00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:36.387
I don't want them over there making a mockery out of things and making it worse.

00:40:36.387 --> 00:40:37.958
I mean, it's bad enough.

00:40:37.958 --> 00:40:45.286
They're probably not preaching anything anyway, but it's going to get a whole lot worse if they got a multi-million dollar debt over their heads.

00:40:45.286 --> 00:41:04.757
Anyway, god is moving by His Spirit to move foolishness out.

00:41:04.757 --> 00:41:06.981
That glory may fully occupy His members.

00:41:07.822 --> 00:41:10.065
Are you hearing what I'm saying Now?

00:41:10.065 --> 00:41:15.829
This is God and this is God taking care of his body.

00:41:15.829 --> 00:41:17.556
I want you to understand this.

00:41:17.556 --> 00:41:19.844
I'm not talking about the church.

00:41:19.844 --> 00:41:22.963
I'm going to quit talking about the church.

00:41:22.963 --> 00:41:28.945
I'm going to quit talking about churches that appear to be churches that are not churches.

00:41:28.945 --> 00:41:29.795
I think I'm going to quit talking about that.

00:41:29.795 --> 00:41:29.909
It'll be.

00:41:29.909 --> 00:41:30.382
Are not churches.

00:41:30.382 --> 00:41:30.737
I think I'm going to quit talking about that.

00:41:30.737 --> 00:41:33.704
It'll be a challenge, but I think I'm going to quit talking about it.

00:41:33.704 --> 00:41:47.648
I'm going to quit talking about people that are playing around at it and I'm going to talk about what God is doing to his body, because the church, what people call the church, is not what God calls his body.

00:41:47.648 --> 00:41:52.081
It's just not.

00:41:52.081 --> 00:42:01.525
There's a total disconnect because the body is not preached, the body is not even known correctly.

00:42:03.077 --> 00:42:11.201
But it starts by this question who is this king of glory?

00:42:11.201 --> 00:42:12.963
It's not.

00:42:12.963 --> 00:42:15.365
Who is this glorious king?

00:42:15.365 --> 00:42:28.586
It is not this king who has glory, it is not this king who demonstrates glory, but it is the king of glory.

00:42:28.586 --> 00:42:44.469
If this king of glory is the head of the church, amen, and the head of the body, then what is the body supposed to be full of?

00:42:44.469 --> 00:42:57.914
Obviously, if he is the king and the head of the body and he is the king of glory, the body is supposed to be full of glory.

00:42:57.914 --> 00:42:59.179
It is not.

00:42:59.179 --> 00:43:01.505
But God says I'm fixing that.

00:43:01.505 --> 00:43:06.496
I'm going to get what is unglorious out.

00:43:06.496 --> 00:43:09.561
I'm going to fill that which is glorious with even more glory.

00:43:09.561 --> 00:43:12.103
And why can he do that?

00:43:12.103 --> 00:43:14.427
Because he is the king of get what is unglorious out.

00:43:14.427 --> 00:43:16.130
I'm going to fill that which is glorious with even more glory.

00:43:16.130 --> 00:43:17.652
And why can he do that?

00:43:17.652 --> 00:43:19.454
Because he is the king of glory and he is the head of the body.

00:43:22.815 --> 00:43:23.938
Now I'm going to tell you real, frankly.

00:43:23.938 --> 00:43:35.795
You know that everything that calls itself the church is not in the body, and the king of glory is clearly not the king of those churches and the king of glory is clearly not the king of those churches.

00:43:35.795 --> 00:43:38.295
So you have to be careful what you call the church and what you not call the church.

00:43:38.295 --> 00:43:42.945
But I can be confident in what I talk about when I talk about the body.

00:43:42.945 --> 00:43:44.248
Amen.

00:43:44.248 --> 00:43:46.041
I know what the body is.

00:43:46.041 --> 00:43:46.887
It's what Jesus makes it to be.

00:43:46.887 --> 00:43:47.375
I know what the body is.

00:43:47.375 --> 00:43:51.931
It's what Jesus makes it to be.

00:43:51.931 --> 00:43:57.858
It's what Jesus brings in and keeps in and fills in every part.

00:43:57.858 --> 00:44:00.322
There's so much talk about the body in the Bible.

00:44:00.322 --> 00:44:01.063
Amen.

00:44:01.063 --> 00:44:04.527
We don't have any doubts about what that body is.

00:44:05.730 --> 00:44:06.371
Paul said this.

00:44:06.371 --> 00:44:30.396
He said, until every joint, every ligament, every bone, every sinew connects itself together into one, that they may be one, father, as I am in you and you are in me, and I and we are in them and they are in us that we might be one by the glory, hallelujah, that the glory that I had before the foundation of the earth might be in them and they may be in one.

00:44:30.396 --> 00:44:46.985
See, everybody thinks that the body of Christ is going to be one by, by chicken dinners and potluck suppers and, uh, ecumenical meetings, and you know, we all get together and sing Kumbaya and eat s'mores, and you know and and have a good time, and that's why everybody thinks we're going to be one.

00:44:46.985 --> 00:44:59.750
But John 17 tells us that the body is going to be made one and be revealed to everybody in its oneness by the glory.

00:44:59.750 --> 00:45:18.188
So when that happens, when the body is manifesting this glory and it's so obvious that it's happening all over the world then the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the water covers the sea.

00:45:18.188 --> 00:45:24.239
It's not because one or two evangelists are going out and having big meetings and they're saying, oh, the glory has fallen.

00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:27.507
See, that's a fulfillment of that prophecy.

00:45:27.507 --> 00:45:29.641
No, that's not a fulfillment of that prophecy.

00:45:29.641 --> 00:45:48.885
The prophecy is going to be fulfilled when the body is full of glory and it is manifesting itself in such a way that everyone who is not in the body has to give testimony that they know about it.

00:45:48.885 --> 00:45:51.742
Now, it doesn't matter if they obey it or not obey it.

00:45:51.742 --> 00:45:52.626
That's not the point.

00:45:52.626 --> 00:45:59.199
The point is that the glory is so extensive in the body and the unglorious has been forced out.

00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:09.976
Amen, amen, hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:46:09.976 --> 00:46:21.934
Glory to God, hallelujah, wonderful Jesus, king of glory.

00:46:21.934 --> 00:46:23.538
Who is this king of glory?

00:46:23.538 --> 00:46:26.041
He is the Lord of hosts.

00:46:26.041 --> 00:46:34.195
You see, when the Lord of hosts speaks, like EF Hutton, you better listen.

00:46:34.195 --> 00:46:42.226
Amen, you better pay attention.

00:46:42.226 --> 00:46:43.668
Listen to me, folks.

00:46:43.668 --> 00:46:50.327
When Joshua met the Lord of hosts on the road and said are you foe or are you friend?

00:46:50.327 --> 00:46:57.422
Are you an enemy or are you a friend In Spanish it sounds a whole lot better.

00:46:57.422 --> 00:46:59.523
It says are you an amigo or enemigo?

00:46:59.523 --> 00:47:04.784
And the Lord of hosts said no, I'm not either one of them.

00:47:04.784 --> 00:47:24.092
Now watch this Joshua had the written word.

00:47:24.175 --> 00:47:27.686
He was carrying around with him in the ark and he was carrying the scrolls around with him that Moses had written.

00:47:27.686 --> 00:47:31.282
He had the written word.

00:47:31.282 --> 00:47:40.161
I'm asking you to just take off the blinders of religion for a moment and just let yourself see.

00:47:40.161 --> 00:47:43.864
He had the written word and he did not say this.

00:47:43.864 --> 00:47:44.887
Wait a minute.

00:47:44.887 --> 00:47:53.759
I better go check out what Moses had to say about this, because I don't know if I can trust my own eyes here.

00:47:53.759 --> 00:48:00.858
So, since I can't trust my own eyes, I better go check out what Moses said about seeing a man in the road.

00:48:00.858 --> 00:48:08.181
Well, you better go back and check what Moses found out when he saw a bush that didn't burn, and that's about the closest reference you're going to get.

00:48:08.181 --> 00:48:11.009
And then you better do exactly what Moses did.

00:48:11.009 --> 00:48:13.755
Amen, are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:48:14.315 --> 00:48:27.983
The word spoke to him in the road and Joshua, the servant of Moses, said I know that voice because I know what Moses said to me.

00:48:27.983 --> 00:48:38.628
He said when I heard that voice, I fell to my knees like a dead man and I worshiped that voice that spoke Glory to God.

00:48:38.628 --> 00:48:43.460
And the next thing you see Joshua doing is falling on his face.

00:48:43.460 --> 00:48:44.802
Before who?

00:48:44.802 --> 00:48:52.619
Before the captain of the host of the Lord, before the captain of the host of the Lord, before the king of glory.

00:48:52.619 --> 00:48:57.045
And the king of glory spoke and said exactly what he told Moses.

00:48:57.045 --> 00:49:10.795
Just so we didn't have any confusion, take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.

00:49:10.795 --> 00:49:20.166
See, what's going to make this a glorious reformation and transformation by the power of God is the manifestation of the glory of the King of glory.

00:49:20.166 --> 00:49:25.201
This is what the Spirit ministers.

00:49:25.201 --> 00:49:26.965
This is what he does.

00:49:28.594 --> 00:49:29.940
Why would you want Him to be?

00:49:29.940 --> 00:49:31.063
Why would you want him?

00:49:31.063 --> 00:49:39.869
Why would you want to confine the Holy Ghost to healing hangnails and common colds?

00:49:39.869 --> 00:49:45.164
I mean, really, you can't pray any better than that.

00:49:45.164 --> 00:49:50.909
You need a manifestation of God to chase the flu out of your house than that.

00:49:50.909 --> 00:49:52.514
You need a manifestation of God to chase the flu out of your house.

00:49:54.436 --> 00:49:56.001
You're not hearing a single word.

00:49:56.001 --> 00:50:02.322
This is the same one that when Joshua went to battle against the Amalekites, the sun stood still.

00:50:02.322 --> 00:50:07.121
Oh, you don't believe it.

00:50:07.121 --> 00:50:10.000
Think it's a fairy tale?

00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:11.605
Nasa doesn't.

00:50:11.605 --> 00:50:19.364
If they don't take into account that day, they missed the moon by a mile, and then some.

00:50:19.364 --> 00:50:25.541
If they don't take into account Hezekiah's additional time on the clock.

00:50:25.541 --> 00:50:29.925
You're not hearing me.

00:50:29.925 --> 00:50:32.101
They don't tell you these things.

00:50:32.101 --> 00:50:39.724
They don't tell you about the telescopes pointed into heaven where they hear celestial angels crying out.

00:50:39.724 --> 00:50:42.284
They're not going to tell you anything that confirms this word.

00:50:42.284 --> 00:50:44.539
But it happens.

00:50:44.539 --> 00:50:46.998
Oh, yes, it does.

00:50:46.998 --> 00:50:48.885
Glory to God.

00:50:50.014 --> 00:50:53.304
Joshua met the king of glory in the road.

00:50:53.304 --> 00:50:55.840
Who is this king of glory?

00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:57.664
Who is he?

00:50:57.664 --> 00:51:00.041
I'm going to tell you who he is.

00:51:00.041 --> 00:51:10.204
He's the one who has the right to say to his body line up, sons of Levi, be purified.

00:51:10.204 --> 00:51:13.900
Oh glory to God.

00:51:13.900 --> 00:51:16.764
Hearken, unto the voice of thy God.

00:51:16.764 --> 00:51:31.585
Hearken, unto the voice of thy God, hear him in the day of your visitation and do what he tells you to do, that you might be that vessel of glory that is fit for the master's use and fit to be in his body.

00:51:39.036 --> 00:51:42.065
You don't want to hear him say I don't even know you.

00:51:42.065 --> 00:51:45.981
Why would he say that?

00:51:45.981 --> 00:51:51.126
He said well, you prophesied in our streets, you came, we cast out devils in your name.

00:51:51.126 --> 00:51:55.380
So what Devil can cast out devils?

00:51:55.380 --> 00:51:56.284
Ain't no big thing.

00:51:56.284 --> 00:52:00.523
The thing is, did I know you and did you know me?

00:52:00.523 --> 00:52:05.445
Are you the glorious part of my glorious body?

00:52:05.445 --> 00:52:07.141
I am the king of glory.

00:52:07.141 --> 00:52:07.918
You need to hear this.

00:52:07.918 --> 00:52:09.632
If you don't hear anything, we talk about him being the king of glory.

00:52:09.632 --> 00:52:09.835
You need to hear this.

00:52:09.835 --> 00:52:16.311
If you don't hear anything, we talk about him being the king of the Jews and the king of kings, and the king of this and the king of that.

00:52:16.311 --> 00:52:18.119
He's the king of glory.

00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:23.074
He is the king of righteousness, he is the king of everything.

00:52:23.074 --> 00:52:28.085
The spirit ministers and that's all.

00:52:28.085 --> 00:52:30.228
The Spirit is going to minister.

00:52:30.228 --> 00:52:41.605
Whatever Jesus is king over, that's on the Spirit's agenda for ministry today, and today it was the King of Glory.

00:52:41.605 --> 00:52:44.842
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:52:44.842 --> 00:52:45.965
You may stand to your feet.

00:52:45.965 --> 00:52:48.382
Praise God, hallelujah.
