What if the opening words of a text could change the course of history? Embark on a thought-provoking journey as we uncover the profound significance of first words—from historical documents like the United States Constitution to the Holy Bible. We dissect the divine intention behind the placement of the book of Matthew and its opening verse, exploring Jesus' lineage and spiritual authority. Along the way, we delve into Jesus' interactions with the Pharisees and the deep connections between the Old and New Testament scriptures, emphasizing His eternal priesthood according to the order of Melchizedek.

Discover the nuanced distinctions between prophecy and promise, crucial elements in understanding God's grand design. We bring to light how pivotal events such as the crucifixion, resurrection, and Pentecost align with divine prophecy and promise. By tracing Jesus' lineage and the roles of unexpected individuals like Rahab and Bathsheba, we highlight the importance of acting upon these divine indicators to align with God's will. This discussion underscores the need for believers to comprehend and fulfill these divine directives to further God's plan.

Finally, we navigate the complex process of receiving divine revelation and recognizing one’s true identity as a child of the Seed. Emphasizing personal communication with God over secondhand denominational teachings, we encourage believers to embrace their divine identity fully. By understanding the promises made to Abraham and David, we explore how believers can embody the spiritual lineage of Jesus, standing firm in faith and overcoming life's challenges with confidence. Join us in this enlightening episode as we delve into the transformative power of divine promises and the profound journey toward spiritual self-discovery.

00:00:00.381 --> 00:00:02.204
Hallelujah, somebody.

00:00:02.204 --> 00:00:05.229
Praise the Lord, glory to God.

00:00:05.229 --> 00:00:11.964
We have been talking for the past few weeks about first words.

00:00:11.964 --> 00:00:14.567
First words are important.

00:00:14.567 --> 00:00:22.824
First words set the tone for something, they set the direction Amen.

00:00:22.824 --> 00:00:32.515
The first words of the United States Constitution says we, the people, amen.

00:00:32.515 --> 00:00:57.511
That means that no matter what is written between we, the people, and God concerning how they want to govern themselves and it sets the tone for that, the first words.

00:00:57.511 --> 00:01:19.480
Just the same way in the Declaration when, in the course of human endeavors, and it goes on to say how sometimes a people just get fed up and they have to take matters into their own hands because governments are instituted by the people, amen.

00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:31.266
If you buy into the lie that governments are instituted by governments to protect people, amen.

00:01:31.266 --> 00:01:44.371
You have flipped the coin, because the truth is that governments are instituted by people to put a limit on how government interferes with your life.

00:01:44.371 --> 00:01:48.224
Praise God.

00:01:48.224 --> 00:01:56.650
All I'm saying is, if you read the Declaration of Independence, you'll get that in the first handful of words.

00:01:56.650 --> 00:02:10.530
Same way with the Constitution, same way with almost any contract, and with a contract there's going to be kind of a summary statement at the beginning who this contract is, between, what it concerns, etc.

00:02:10.530 --> 00:02:14.580
First words are important Amen.

00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:21.674
We looked at the first words, several of the first words that Jesus ministered when he started his ministry.

00:02:21.674 --> 00:02:29.305
We looked at Luke 4 and 18, where it says the spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me.

00:02:29.305 --> 00:02:35.110
Amen, you don't have the Holy Ghost because he's upon you.

00:02:35.110 --> 00:02:37.808
He's upon you because he's anointed you.

00:02:37.808 --> 00:02:41.306
And the question becomes when did that anointing happen?

00:02:41.306 --> 00:03:05.981
And if you think it's when you went to this meeting and somebody doused your head with oil, you know you are missing the point, because it was Jesus that was speaking these words 700 years before he spoke them in Nazareth, when he spoke them through the mouth of the prophet Isaiah, somebody hearing me glory to God.

00:03:05.981 --> 00:03:24.433
And if that word existed in Nazareth and it existed 700 years before, do you not know that it existed seven zillion years before that, when he created you and began to make promises to you, when you were in the Spirit of God.

00:03:24.433 --> 00:03:26.777
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:03:27.618 --> 00:03:28.741
First words are important.

00:03:28.741 --> 00:03:37.983
If you don't understand first words, the principle of them concerning something, amen.

00:03:37.983 --> 00:03:39.125
You're going to miss the point.

00:03:39.125 --> 00:03:45.334
So I'm just going to blow your minds today.

00:03:45.334 --> 00:03:46.074
You ready for this?

00:03:46.094 --> 00:03:48.878
Yes.

00:03:50.783 --> 00:03:59.894
Because the first words of your New Testament are perhaps the most important words in the New Testament.

00:03:59.894 --> 00:04:21.625
If you think that God, the Holy Ghost, just left it up to a bunch of publishers to dictate the order of the Gospels in your Bible, you must have had something to smoke during lunch break.

00:04:28.922 --> 00:04:29.725
Glory to God.

00:04:29.725 --> 00:04:57.435
It is by Holy Ghost design that the book of Matthew is the first book in your Bible, in the New Testament, and it is by Holy Ghost design that the first verse of chapter 1 says this the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of Abraham, the son of David, hallelujah.

00:04:57.435 --> 00:05:04.273
That verse, even though not yet written, was in the spirit of Jesus.

00:05:04.273 --> 00:05:19.447
When he asked the asked the Pharisees in Matthew the 24th chapter I think it is he said let me ask you a question whose son is the Messiah?

00:05:19.447 --> 00:05:23.238
And they said they thought you can just see him.

00:05:23.238 --> 00:05:25.968
They're puffing up their chests and kind of giving it one of these things.

00:05:25.968 --> 00:05:27.886
He's the son of David.

00:05:27.886 --> 00:05:31.767
And Jesus came right back at him.

00:05:31.767 --> 00:05:40.992
He said okay, if he's the son of David, how then does David call him Lord?

00:05:40.992 --> 00:05:43.553
Because it is written Call him Lord.

00:05:44.641 --> 00:05:45.904
Because it is written.

00:05:46.586 --> 00:05:54.189
Now where it's written Is of absolute, magnificent Importance.

00:05:54.189 --> 00:05:57.036
It's written in Psalm 110.

00:05:57.036 --> 00:05:57.240
Verse 1.

00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:05.704
The Lord said to my Lord Sit at my right hand Until I make your enemies your footstool.

00:06:05.704 --> 00:06:10.259
Glory to God, the Lord said to my Lord.

00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:18.567
Jesus went on and said if David calls him Lord, how then is he his son?

00:06:23.052 --> 00:06:26.755
now the, the pharisees could not answer that question.

00:06:26.755 --> 00:06:31.480
So so jesus, at that point, said we are done here.

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.024
We are done.

00:06:33.024 --> 00:06:34.728
Listen, listen to me very carefully.

00:06:34.728 --> 00:06:39.120
We are done with the inspection of the passover lamb.

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:49.855
Since the time he had entered into jerusalem Palm Sunday, until that moment, he had allowed them to ask him the most foolish, stupid questions.

00:06:49.855 --> 00:07:10.411
You get it If a man has a wife and he has seven brothers, six brothers, and the man dies and the wife is given they don't have children, so he's given to the second brother and the second brother drives without children, and he's given to the third, given to the fourth, given to the seventh, whose wife will she be in the resurrection?

00:07:10.411 --> 00:07:19.331
Jesus said you do greatly err, not knowing the power or the word of God.

00:07:20.053 --> 00:07:20.735
My God.

00:07:21.916 --> 00:07:24.100
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:28.408
So he went through all that inspection until they couldn't answer him.

00:07:28.408 --> 00:07:31.468
Whose son is the Messiah?

00:07:31.468 --> 00:07:35.826
And if he is the son of David, how come David calls him Lord?

00:07:35.826 --> 00:07:40.127
You see, we need to be able to answer that question because we have the Spirit.

00:07:40.127 --> 00:07:44.408
They couldn't answer it because they were imposters and frauds.

00:07:44.408 --> 00:07:50.379
I wish I could preach glory to God, hallelujah.

00:07:50.379 --> 00:08:06.350
Jesus had Matthew 1 and 1 in mind when he gave that answer, because David is the spiritual father of the Messiah, but so is Abraham.

00:08:06.350 --> 00:08:19.668
But if either one of them calls him Lord, which they did, how is he their son?

00:08:19.668 --> 00:08:28.071
So in verse 4 of 1.10, it says this I'm just throwing some stuff at you, see if it'll stick.

00:08:29.865 --> 00:08:42.610
The fourth verse of 1 10 says this I have made you a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

00:08:42.610 --> 00:08:57.868
The fact that that verse is less than two thoughts away from verse one ties those verses together in a way that you just can't get away from it.

00:08:57.868 --> 00:09:04.851
The Lord said to my Lord sit here until I make your enemies your footstool.

00:09:04.851 --> 00:09:06.835
And furthermore, I have sworn to you that Lord, sit here until I make your enemies your footstool.

00:09:06.835 --> 00:09:13.460
And furthermore, I have sworn to you that, lord, that I have made you a high priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

00:09:13.460 --> 00:09:17.652
We haven't heard about Melchizedek since Genesis 14.

00:09:17.652 --> 00:09:21.163
Not one word.

00:09:21.163 --> 00:09:27.679
We won't hear another word until the middle chapters of the book of Hebrews.

00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:42.025
And then you get a dose of it like you've never read about, because Paul went out in the deserts of Arabia for years to be ministered to by the risen Christ.

00:09:42.025 --> 00:09:50.912
To get that revelation, I'm going to teach you who this Melchizedek is.

00:09:50.912 --> 00:09:55.331
Glory to God, hallelujah, praise God.

00:09:55.331 --> 00:10:00.251
Here's what you need to know in order to understand this word.

00:10:00.251 --> 00:10:05.392
This is the genealogy of Jesus, the Christ, the son of Abraham, the son of David.

00:10:05.392 --> 00:10:12.773
What you need to know is this that the book is a book of the seed.

00:10:14.681 --> 00:10:19.633
I had the Lord speak to me one time, many, many, many years ago, many decades ago.

00:10:19.633 --> 00:10:23.787
It has changed who I am.

00:10:23.787 --> 00:10:26.232
It has changed the way I minister.

00:10:26.232 --> 00:10:27.947
It has changed what I minister.

00:10:27.947 --> 00:10:32.370
It has changed what I get revealed about by the Lord.

00:10:32.370 --> 00:10:34.062
He said this.

00:10:34.062 --> 00:10:41.687
He said if you do not understand the principle of the seed, you will not understand me.

00:10:41.687 --> 00:10:45.389
I said would you say that again?

00:10:45.389 --> 00:10:52.990
And he repeated it exactly the same If you do not understand the principle of the seed, you will not understand me.

00:10:52.990 --> 00:11:04.268
And then I heard him say this in the beginning was the seed and the seed was with God and the seed was God.

00:11:04.268 --> 00:11:07.695
The seed was in the was with God and the seed was God.

00:11:07.695 --> 00:11:08.700
The seed was in the beginning with God.

00:11:08.700 --> 00:11:13.889
Through the seed all things were made and there was nothing made that was not made by the seed.

00:11:13.889 --> 00:11:19.145
In him, in the seed, was life and that life was the light of men.

00:11:19.145 --> 00:11:21.654
Hallelujah.

00:11:21.654 --> 00:11:25.273
He was sent to his own and his own received him not.

00:11:25.273 --> 00:11:26.480
The seed was sent to his own and his own received him not.

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:33.350
The seed was sent to his own womb, but that womb received him not.

00:11:33.350 --> 00:11:46.125
But to as many as received the seed, he gives them the power, the exousia, the god given right to bend their necks to the will of the seed.

00:11:46.125 --> 00:11:50.144
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:11:51.142 --> 00:11:59.251
From Genesis, the third chapter, to the book of Revelation, it is a book of the seed.

00:11:59.251 --> 00:12:09.916
In Matthew 1.1, what follows Matthew 1.1, what follows Matthew 1.1 is a genealogy.

00:12:09.916 --> 00:12:17.384
That genealogy covers from Jesus backwards to Abraham, or I don't know.

00:12:17.384 --> 00:12:21.724
It covers from Abraham to Jesus and it goes through David.

00:12:21.724 --> 00:12:27.427
Okay, you have a similar genealogy in the book of Luke, chapter 3.

00:12:27.427 --> 00:12:33.567
Matthew's genealogy is a genealogy of the flesh line.

00:12:33.567 --> 00:12:43.669
Luke's genealogy is a genealogy of the seed line, because that genealogy ends up with Mary.

00:12:48.441 --> 00:12:49.283
Who received the seed?

00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:55.159
The genealogy that starts with Abraham ends up with Joseph.

00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.409
But Joseph was not involved.

00:12:58.409 --> 00:13:04.725
The only thing Joseph got out of all this was a bunch of dreams, but he had other children.

00:13:04.725 --> 00:13:05.989
So I mean it wasn't all bad.

00:13:05.989 --> 00:13:07.894
All this was a bunch of dreams, but he had other children.

00:13:07.894 --> 00:13:09.399
So I mean you can't, you know, it wasn't all bad.

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:17.318
Praise God for an old carpenter.

00:13:17.318 --> 00:13:19.899
The seed line goes from Adam to Jesus.

00:13:19.899 --> 00:13:25.893
Amen, because Adam was there when God prophesied against the about the seed and the seed of Satan.

00:13:25.893 --> 00:13:29.164
Amen, hallelujah.

00:13:30.687 --> 00:13:41.274
Now, when you think about this, that the Bible is a book about the seed, then the center point of everything about the Bible is the resurrection of Jesus.

00:13:41.274 --> 00:13:43.663
If Jesus, you know.

00:13:43.663 --> 00:13:47.807
A lot of people think that it's all about the cross and it is about the cross.

00:13:47.807 --> 00:13:59.130
The fact of the matter is that the 50 days between Passover and Pentecost, in God's mind, are one thing.

00:13:59.130 --> 00:14:03.967
It is the creation of the new creation.

00:14:03.967 --> 00:14:13.427
The old seed had to die, it had to be raised up and then at Pentecost so it could produce much fruit.

00:14:13.427 --> 00:14:16.489
Okay, so that's all just one thing.

00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:17.865
The whole Jewish calendar.

00:14:17.865 --> 00:14:25.980
We can't be locked into the Jewish calendar to get revelation about what this is all about, because God doesn't look at time the way we do.

00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:32.673
So just because it took 50 days to unwind doesn't mean that it's not all the same thing.

00:14:32.673 --> 00:14:40.184
You can't have a resurrection without a crucifixion, but there's no point having a crucifixion if you don't have a resurrection.

00:14:40.184 --> 00:14:46.168
And there's no point having a resurrection if Jesus just goes back to heaven and says I'll see'll see you later, amen.

00:14:46.168 --> 00:15:04.750
So you have to have Pentecost to follow the resurrection, so that what he did in the resurrection is then made viable and and giveable and transferable to all who will, to as many as received him.

00:15:04.750 --> 00:15:20.043
He gave them the power not the dunamis, but the exousia, the will bending, neck building, bending power of God to bend your will to his.

00:15:20.043 --> 00:15:22.750
Oh, glory to God.

00:15:25.697 --> 00:15:35.331
This reaches, this story of the seed reaches all the way back to the book of Genesis where God prophesied.

00:15:35.331 --> 00:15:37.368
Now we're going to find out.

00:15:37.368 --> 00:15:44.164
I might as well say this now so I can say it again later, and then say it about 20 times after that, so you really get it.

00:15:44.164 --> 00:15:50.212
I'm going to give you an insight as to what the difference is between prophecy and promise.

00:15:50.212 --> 00:15:54.145
I can tell by your faces.

00:15:54.145 --> 00:15:54.427
You go.

00:15:54.427 --> 00:15:56.091
I've never heard this one before.

00:15:56.091 --> 00:16:05.087
Prophecy mostly has to do with future things.

00:16:05.850 --> 00:16:06.171
Oh yeah.

00:16:07.241 --> 00:16:09.413
And it has to do with potentiality.

00:16:09.413 --> 00:16:13.268
Right, right, okay, I could take your hand and go.

00:16:13.268 --> 00:16:16.208
I see God doing great things in your life.

00:16:16.208 --> 00:16:18.148
I see God doing this.

00:16:18.148 --> 00:16:20.087
I see you going back to school.

00:16:20.087 --> 00:16:21.379
I see you earning a degree.

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:24.450
I see you going to college earning a master's.

00:16:24.450 --> 00:16:27.068
I see you redeveloping the atomic bomb.

00:16:27.068 --> 00:16:29.107
I see you know just all this kind of stuff.

00:16:29.107 --> 00:16:29.681
You know you can.

00:16:29.681 --> 00:16:33.392
Just, it may happen or it may not happen.

00:16:33.392 --> 00:16:36.046
That all depends on you.

00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:45.133
Prophecy is as effective as you are in following after it.

00:16:45.133 --> 00:16:54.150
I didn't say doing it because you can't do it, but you can follow after it as the Holy Ghost leads you.

00:16:54.150 --> 00:17:03.388
Pastor Howard's taught you that the very first thing you do when you get a word of prophecy is go to the Lord and say what would you have me do now?

00:17:03.388 --> 00:17:05.285
What do I do now?

00:17:05.285 --> 00:17:06.127
What's next?

00:17:06.127 --> 00:17:08.949
What do I have to do to get on the path?

00:17:08.949 --> 00:17:13.911
Because very seldom, you know, does prophecy say this tomorrow.

00:17:13.911 --> 00:17:14.772
Now, I've done this.

00:17:14.772 --> 00:17:18.209
I've told people tomorrow this is going to happen to you.

00:17:18.209 --> 00:17:20.845
I have done that.

00:17:20.845 --> 00:17:30.607
I've told people tomorrow, especially in healing, I said tomorrow you're going to go to the doctor's office, they're going to let you in without an appointment and they're going to tell you that you're healed.

00:17:30.607 --> 00:17:46.580
Now, if you don't go to the doctor's office, nothing I can do about that, but I would not want to be around your life when that sickness comes back on you because you were disobedient to God.

00:17:49.244 --> 00:17:57.451
Prophecy has a lot to do about possibility and potentiality, because it depends on how you deal with the prophecy.

00:17:57.451 --> 00:18:02.063
Most people think, well, god prophesied it, that's it, that's done.

00:18:02.063 --> 00:18:03.566
No, that's a promise.

00:18:03.566 --> 00:18:09.855
Oh, can I help you out here?

00:18:09.855 --> 00:18:17.921
There's a lot of, there's a lot of people that were prophesied concerning the Messiah.

00:18:17.921 --> 00:18:22.869
Out of what tribe was the?

00:18:22.869 --> 00:18:24.333
Was the Messiah going to come?

00:18:24.333 --> 00:18:27.000
How?

00:18:27.020 --> 00:18:27.422
do we know?

00:18:28.844 --> 00:18:35.256
that when, where when.

00:18:36.238 --> 00:18:36.538
Where.

00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:54.933
Genesis 49, where Joseph, leaning on his staff, prophesied over each of his sons and one of them says that a lawgiver shall not depart from under the feet or the legs of Judah until Shiloh comes.

00:18:54.933 --> 00:19:02.736
Amen, are you hearing me?

00:19:02.736 --> 00:19:12.499
Judah is prophesied to be the tribe in which the Messiah is going to, but we don't know where, we don't know who we don't know how.

00:19:13.300 --> 00:19:14.586
None of that is pinpointed.

00:19:14.586 --> 00:19:16.446
We don't know anything about Obed.

00:19:16.446 --> 00:19:17.905
We don't know anything about Jesse.

00:19:17.905 --> 00:19:19.385
We don't know anything about David.

00:19:19.385 --> 00:19:23.828
We don't know anything about David's brothers, we don't know anything about any of that.

00:19:23.828 --> 00:19:30.209
And there was a whole lot of people in Judah between Judah and David, amen.

00:19:30.209 --> 00:19:36.365
But we don't know much about that Except the genealogies.

00:19:36.988 --> 00:19:37.971
Come on, that's it.

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:40.267
But we do have a prophecy.

00:19:40.267 --> 00:19:46.588
Now I got a question for you.

00:19:46.588 --> 00:19:50.180
What are you gonna do with the prophecy?

00:19:50.180 --> 00:19:55.792
Are you gonna say how are you getting this?

00:19:55.792 --> 00:19:58.640
How are you getting obedience and faith out of this?

00:19:58.640 --> 00:19:59.480
How do you?

00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:09.654
How do you, how can you possibly equate Judah going into his son's wife and conceiving twins?

00:20:09.654 --> 00:20:14.951
How can that possibly be the will of God?

00:20:14.951 --> 00:20:17.746
But it was.

00:20:17.746 --> 00:20:30.200
But it was Because he had other children, he had other sons, and even in that exchange it was a Jacob Esau thing.

00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:37.451
The firstborn didn't get the promise, didn't get the fulfillment of the prophecy.

00:20:37.451 --> 00:20:39.145
Are you hearing any of this?

00:20:40.201 --> 00:20:49.165
You go down a few decades through the time in Egypt and coming back into Canaan, and here comes Rahab.

00:20:49.165 --> 00:21:03.590
Rahab gets delivered because she showed favor to the spies, and she marries this guy who happened to be of the tribe of O, and the next thing you know she's having a son.

00:21:03.590 --> 00:21:05.787
We know who the son is.

00:21:05.787 --> 00:21:11.079
The son's name is Boaz Amen.

00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:18.233
How did a Canaanite prostitute get into this equation?

00:21:18.233 --> 00:21:25.386
And so it goes.

00:21:25.386 --> 00:21:28.348
I mean, I could tell stories about Ruth.

00:21:28.348 --> 00:21:32.107
And then you got Bathsheba to deal with.

00:21:32.730 --> 00:21:45.607
Glory to God, jesus just didn't have this spotless white pedigree, but it was pure of giant corruption.

00:21:45.607 --> 00:21:51.494
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:21:51.494 --> 00:21:52.296
What are you saying?

00:21:52.296 --> 00:21:59.011
There was a prophecy given to Judah.

00:21:59.011 --> 00:22:06.567
Judah had to go back to Canaan or had to go someplace in Canaan and make that happen.

00:22:06.567 --> 00:22:09.546
Was he conscious of it?

00:22:09.546 --> 00:22:16.708
No, but did he fulfill his responsibilities?

00:22:16.708 --> 00:22:17.529
Yes, he did.

00:22:17.529 --> 00:22:20.891
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:22:22.824 --> 00:22:26.313
But a prophecy is different than a promise.

00:22:26.313 --> 00:22:31.528
When the promise was made to Abraham amen.

00:22:31.528 --> 00:22:36.545
That his seed would be as many as the stars in the sky and his sand in the seashore, amen.

00:22:36.545 --> 00:22:37.688
He had two choices.

00:22:37.688 --> 00:22:40.161
There wasn't a single thing he could do about it.

00:22:40.161 --> 00:22:41.084
Cuz cuz.

00:22:41.084 --> 00:22:45.493
Sarah was barren, so he had to believe God.

00:22:45.493 --> 00:22:50.890
When he believed God, that promise was as good as done.

00:22:50.890 --> 00:22:53.880
I said that promise was as good as done.

00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:58.890
That's the difference between a promise and a prophecy.

00:22:58.890 --> 00:23:00.212
Amen.

00:23:00.212 --> 00:23:01.141
He just had to believe it.

00:23:01.141 --> 00:23:03.505
He just had to believe it and just had to believe it.

00:23:03.505 --> 00:23:26.971
And the believing of it transformed him and eventually transformed his wife and eventually transformed the destiny of his nephew, lot, and in the in the way, in the way, transformed the, the destiny of Hagar and her offspring through Ishmael.

00:23:26.971 --> 00:23:33.653
All of that because Abraham believed God, hallelujah.

00:23:34.819 --> 00:23:38.872
There was enmity between the serpent and the woman.

00:23:38.872 --> 00:23:47.729
I've taught you this that that woman is not Eve and that woman is not Eve and that woman is not some other woman that's there.

00:23:47.729 --> 00:23:50.067
That woman is the church.

00:23:50.067 --> 00:23:52.400
That woman is the same woman.

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.248
That's in Revelation, chapter 12.

00:23:54.248 --> 00:24:01.026
That's why I say it goes all the way from Genesis to Revelation Amen, that's the same woman.

00:24:02.221 --> 00:24:03.065
How do I know that?

00:24:03.065 --> 00:24:11.509
Because Eve doesn't have any seeds, whereas the woman has nothing but seed.

00:24:11.509 --> 00:24:18.133
She is the living multiplication of seed that came out of Jesus.

00:24:18.133 --> 00:24:32.470
What came out of Jesus when he came up out of the grave was the ability to procreate by the Spirit and not by physical joining together.

00:24:32.470 --> 00:24:42.726
He who is joined to the Spirit is one with the Lord, not joined in the flesh.

00:24:42.726 --> 00:24:46.832
Jesus, can I preach this?

00:24:46.832 --> 00:24:48.493
I feel it coming on.

00:24:48.493 --> 00:25:14.376
Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her that he might prepare for Himself a spotless bride not having spot nor wrinkle nor any such thing, but that she should be perfect in love.

00:25:14.376 --> 00:25:19.070
That was what Christ did.

00:25:19.070 --> 00:25:29.713
He created a new way of regeneration that is entirely different than the old creation.

00:25:29.713 --> 00:25:34.690
The old creation depends on flesh contact of some sort or the other.

00:25:34.690 --> 00:25:36.160
Amen.

00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.767
The spirit does not.

00:25:37.767 --> 00:25:44.772
The spirit world regenerates on the basis of Spirit to Spirit contact.

00:25:44.772 --> 00:25:51.307
I'm not going to say that, lord.

00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:53.285
I'm going to leave that alone.

00:25:53.285 --> 00:26:08.011
What happened in Genesis, chapter 3, listen was a prophecy of his incarnation, god prophesied.

00:26:08.011 --> 00:26:18.929
He said that you may bruise his heel, but he is going to crush your head, amen, and that's just the way it is.

00:26:18.929 --> 00:26:19.291
That's a prophecy.

00:26:19.291 --> 00:26:21.825
But he is going to crush your head, amen, and that's just the way it is.

00:26:21.825 --> 00:26:22.769
That's a prophecy.

00:26:22.769 --> 00:26:30.123
Now there's a whole bunch of stuff that's got to happen before that's going to happen, but it is going to happen Because there have.

00:26:30.123 --> 00:26:30.886
You know why?

00:26:30.886 --> 00:26:38.407
Because there's been a string of people who have believed ever since Abel.

00:26:38.407 --> 00:26:42.035
Amen, abel, amen.

00:26:42.035 --> 00:26:55.424
Abel believed Seth believed Enoch believed Noah believed Abraham believed Isaac believed Jacob believed Judah believed David believed Nathan believed.

00:26:55.424 --> 00:26:56.348
Glory to God.

00:26:56.348 --> 00:27:02.691
Isaiah believed Ezekiel believed Jeremiah believed.

00:27:05.038 --> 00:27:37.811
Malachi believed, and the messenger of the Covenant shall come suddenly to his temple and he shall burn as a pur I'm trying to say it in Spanish as un fuego purificador, as a purifying fire, and he shall purify the sons of Levi that they may offer up a sacrifice in righteousness.

00:27:37.811 --> 00:27:40.990
Glory to God, hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:27:40.990 --> 00:27:48.986
That same Malachi said bring all your tithes into the storehouse that there may be room in my house.

00:27:48.986 --> 00:27:51.231
Glory to God.

00:27:51.231 --> 00:27:59.628
That same Malachi said, and the son of righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings.

00:27:59.628 --> 00:28:01.601
Glory to God, god.

00:28:01.601 --> 00:28:09.347
And that was 500 years before there was enough people believe in God that when Jesus came and believed God.

00:28:09.347 --> 00:28:13.588
Amen, this thing about the resurrection was a done deal.

00:28:13.588 --> 00:28:19.436
Glory to God.

00:28:19.436 --> 00:28:22.347
Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:28:22.347 --> 00:28:36.307
Somebody, praise him, the seed of God, the seed of God.

00:28:36.307 --> 00:28:41.912
In 1st John it says we are the seed of God.

00:28:41.912 --> 00:28:43.720
In 1 John it says we are the seed of God.

00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:45.746
Now we are God's seed.

00:28:45.746 --> 00:28:49.743
And if we are God's seed, the Bible says we do not sin.

00:28:51.448 --> 00:28:53.492
Come on, that's right, come on.

00:28:57.501 --> 00:29:06.345
I'm going to let you get along with God and hear Him teach you that, because there's nothing I could say that you would believe.

00:29:06.345 --> 00:29:11.648
I'm being as honest as I possibly can.

00:29:11.648 --> 00:29:16.401
There's nothing I can tell you about that that you would believe You'd go.

00:29:16.401 --> 00:29:21.750
It would fly in the face of every religious thought you've ever had.

00:29:21.750 --> 00:29:30.267
So you need God to tell you that, and then, if you want to argue about it, go argue with him, since he wrote the book.

00:29:30.267 --> 00:29:36.619
So here's the question.

00:29:36.619 --> 00:29:42.336
There's a lot of questions that have to be asked and a lot of answers that have to be asked and a lot of answers that have to be sorted through.

00:29:42.336 --> 00:29:46.410
Let me tell you how Revelation works.

00:29:46.410 --> 00:29:48.945
You want to know how Revelation works.

00:29:48.945 --> 00:30:03.451
You think, well, bless God, I'm just going to get alone, I'm going to meditate, and getting alone and meditating is absolutely essential, but it's not the only answer.

00:30:03.451 --> 00:30:21.449
You have to be ready to answer some tough questions, because revelation is a lot like questions and answers, questions and answers, questions and answers.

00:30:22.760 --> 00:30:25.911
Many conversations start like this have you considered?

00:30:25.911 --> 00:30:30.223
And I'll say, no, sir, I have not.

00:30:30.223 --> 00:30:32.028
Then go to.

00:30:32.028 --> 00:30:37.625
And here comes another question Tell me what you know about that verse.

00:30:37.625 --> 00:30:39.151
What do you think about that verse.

00:30:39.151 --> 00:30:43.308
What does that mean in comparison to this other verse over here?

00:30:43.308 --> 00:30:48.471
Well, I think that have you considered this as a possibility?

00:30:48.471 --> 00:31:02.500
And at the end of however long that takes it may be days, it may be weeks, it may be months, it may be years, it may be seconds there are times when you hit an answer and he says have you considered?

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:07.449
And the next thing that happens is that you are filled with what he knows about it.

00:31:07.449 --> 00:31:13.930
Other times it may take weeks and months of working through things to get to that place.

00:31:13.930 --> 00:31:29.309
But if you expect that, just because you're alone with God and you've gone to your meditation spot and you think, well, alone with God, and you've gone to your meditation spot and you think, well, bless God, I'm going to get it today, and you're just kind of like in the shower, it's just going to come over you like that.

00:31:29.309 --> 00:31:32.470
It doesn't work that way, amen.

00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:53.315
Getting revelation is hard work and you know what the hardest thing about it is work, and you know what the hardest thing about it is Putting to death and burying your preconceptions about what you think you know, because most of I'll tell you what.

00:31:53.315 --> 00:31:59.433
What I found revelation to be mostly is stuff that that God teaches me.

00:31:59.433 --> 00:32:03.321
That I thought I had an answer to because somebody told me.

00:32:03.321 --> 00:32:17.683
And so somebody tells me something, and, and I, and I believe what they tell me because they got some cred or some document or some title to the name you know and I believe it, amen.

00:32:17.683 --> 00:32:20.648
But it's was it from from god?

00:32:20.648 --> 00:32:23.413
It may not even have been from god to them.

00:32:23.413 --> 00:32:29.621
They may have heard it from somebody, and that's a bad habit in denominations, because that's all they got.

00:32:29.621 --> 00:32:31.646
They got, they've got.

00:32:31.646 --> 00:32:48.157
I'm gonna teach you what he taught me, what he taught him, what he taught him, what he taught him, and and and bless god, if you get into a teaching position and you teach anything else, we're gonna get you out of here, because that's not what we're about, and it may.

00:32:48.157 --> 00:32:50.945
It may have been decades since God spoke to any of them.

00:32:50.945 --> 00:32:57.462
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:32:59.905 --> 00:33:17.712
So the thing about getting revelation from God is that you have to be ready to lay aside the things that you think you know and put on the Lord, jesus Christ, put on his mind, put on what he knows.

00:33:17.712 --> 00:33:24.449
And I'm going to tell you, you're not going to have many friends, you're not going to have a whole lot of people that want to listen to you.

00:33:24.449 --> 00:33:30.903
You're not going to hear a whole lot of people that want to hear the revelations that God has given to you, and I'm going to tell you this right now.

00:33:30.903 --> 00:33:35.712
Just because I tell you what God has revealed to me doesn't mean you know it yet.

00:33:35.712 --> 00:33:46.570
You better hear it from the mouth of God and hear him confirm it and then teach you some things that he wants you to know.

00:33:46.570 --> 00:33:51.309
See, he's going to teach you things that he wants you to know, that he may never have discussed with me.

00:33:51.309 --> 00:34:04.349
Just because he gave me a revelation about something doesn't mean that's the last word on it, and that's why everybody I've ever known acts as soon as they hear from God.

00:34:04.349 --> 00:34:05.090
That that's it.

00:34:05.090 --> 00:34:14.110
Well, we're that, god, that I'm right up, I'm gonna write a book, I'm gonna put out the DVD, take series, glory to God, and that's it.

00:34:14.110 --> 00:34:16.385
That's the last word we're ever going to hear about it.

00:34:16.385 --> 00:34:20.036
We're never going to preach on this again, because next week I'm gonna have a new DVD series out.

00:34:20.036 --> 00:34:20.456
What we're the going to hear about it?

00:34:20.456 --> 00:34:25.210
We're never going to preach on this again, because next week I'm going to have a new DVD series out and I got to market something new.

00:34:29.380 --> 00:34:31.824
If you've ever listened, the stuff is out there.

00:34:31.824 --> 00:34:33.222
You want to listen to my stuff?

00:34:33.222 --> 00:34:33.869
It's out there.

00:34:33.869 --> 00:34:35.563
You ever listen to my stuff?

00:34:35.563 --> 00:34:36.487
That's out there.

00:34:36.487 --> 00:34:42.811
You're going to hear a lot of the same things over and over, just preaching in a different way, from a different point, from a different thing.

00:34:42.811 --> 00:34:44.559
Amen, I don't have some.

00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:48.347
I don't have all this new stuff all the time, because I'm not trying to sell anything.

00:34:48.347 --> 00:34:59.867
You know, I can listen if I were in the used car business which I'm not, but if I were, I could just keep driving the same 57 chevy all year long.

00:34:59.867 --> 00:35:00.829
Who would care?

00:35:00.829 --> 00:35:02.552
I'm not trying to sell you a new car.

00:35:02.552 --> 00:35:09.798
I'm trying to get you to get the plumb, the depths of the beauty of a classic.

00:35:09.798 --> 00:35:34.204
Why would I want to sell you a piece of junk that they're driving today when you can have a 57 Chevy hard top convertible or, in my case, a 1959 forest green metallic Corvette?

00:35:34.856 --> 00:35:40.222
when, I was 18 when I was 18.

00:35:40.664 --> 00:35:43.108
Convertible and a hard top.

00:35:43.108 --> 00:35:51.748
You can take the hard top off, which you didn't want to do if there was rain coming, which I did, but anyway, praise God, hallelujah.

00:35:54.603 --> 00:35:56.570
I wish I had that car now.

00:35:56.570 --> 00:35:59.931
Oh man, it'd be worth a quarter of a million dollars.

00:36:02.181 --> 00:36:03.182
Praise God.

00:36:03.182 --> 00:36:03.724
Where was that?

00:36:03.724 --> 00:36:05.809
That was about 36 minutes.

00:36:05.809 --> 00:36:06.610
I'll cut that out.

00:36:06.610 --> 00:36:09.929
Hallelujah.

00:36:09.929 --> 00:36:20.813
Now why does it say in Matthew, chapter 1, verse 1, that Jesus is the son of Abraham and of David?

00:36:20.813 --> 00:36:25.190
Now, matthew knew the genealogy.

00:36:25.190 --> 00:36:26.967
He went right on ahead and wrote it down.

00:36:26.967 --> 00:36:28.998
He knew the genealogy, amen.

00:36:28.998 --> 00:36:33.532
So he knew that there were many sons and many begots in between.

00:36:33.532 --> 00:36:45.402
He says there's 14 generations between Abraham and David, there's 14 generations between David and the Babylonian captivity and there's 14 generations between the captivity and the Christ.

00:36:45.402 --> 00:36:49.974
So there were 42 generations involved in this thing.

00:36:49.974 --> 00:36:54.143
So Abraham and David weren't the only fathers.

00:36:54.143 --> 00:36:58.771
There were many fathers and many sons.

00:36:58.771 --> 00:37:04.588
Why does Matthew 1.1 say this?

00:37:04.588 --> 00:37:20.701
And the reason is is because that Abraham and David were the two people to whom promises were made concerning the seed, amen.

00:37:20.701 --> 00:37:23.905
Concerning the seed.

00:37:23.985 --> 00:37:24.085
Amen.

00:37:24.085 --> 00:37:44.664
Adam, the woman, eve, god, were there when God prophesied concerning the seed, but it was until Abraham before a promise came, and that promise you can read about it in Hebrews, the fourth chapter.

00:37:44.664 --> 00:37:57.610
Not having anyone greater to swear by, he swore by himself saying in blessing I will bless you and in I will multiply you.

00:37:57.610 --> 00:38:21.559
There was a promise concerning the seed given to Abraham that said through you, the nations will be blessed, not only through you, to your bloodlines, but to other bloodlines that shall come out of you after Isaac, amen, and other bloodlines that have come out of that after Isaac, amen and other bloodlines that have come out of that.

00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:32.548
All the nations of the world will be blessed because of you, because not only of your flesh bloodlines but also the bloodlines of the spirit.

00:38:32.548 --> 00:38:44.672
So there was a promise made to Abraham that said the Messiah, this one.

00:38:44.672 --> 00:38:49.202
He came to Canaan to be connected with Melchizedek.

00:38:49.202 --> 00:38:54.626
Melchizedek was the incarnation of Jesus on the planet in that day.

00:38:54.626 --> 00:39:06.335
Paul says this he was in every way the precise pinpoint, image or replica or reproduction of Jesus.

00:39:06.335 --> 00:39:08.717
In other words, he was Jesus.

00:39:08.717 --> 00:39:17.034
He just didn't go through the birth canal.

00:39:17.034 --> 00:39:20.945
Amen Wasn't the first time, probably not going to be the last.

00:39:20.945 --> 00:39:27.431
Anyway, the point is this he promised to Abraham concerning the seed.

00:39:27.431 --> 00:39:29.266
He said the seed is going to be born to you.

00:39:29.266 --> 00:39:34.231
Paul said it this way in the third chapter of the book of Galatians.

00:39:34.231 --> 00:39:44.362
He said and the promise was made to Abraham and to his seed, not many seeds, but one seedraham, and to his seed, not many seeds, but one seed, and that one seed was christ.

00:39:44.362 --> 00:39:46.860
Amen.

00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:52.634
Not only did that happen, did the promise come to Abraham?

00:39:52.634 --> 00:39:57.813
Amen, but the promise also came to David.

00:39:57.813 --> 00:40:05.235
David said the Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand until I make your enemies my footstool.

00:40:05.235 --> 00:40:10.813
And then he said I have made you a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

00:40:10.813 --> 00:40:17.233
And then he said in another place I have made a covenant with David and I will not change it.

00:40:17.233 --> 00:40:26.329
And then he said in another place I have made covenant with David and there shall not be anyone sit on the throne of Israel.

00:40:26.329 --> 00:40:29.512
That is not out of your seed.

00:40:29.512 --> 00:40:33.224
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:40:33.224 --> 00:40:38.744
They were the witnesses of God swearing to himself.

00:40:38.744 --> 00:40:45.833
See that when he did that prophecy in Genesis 3, he didn't do that, he didn't swear, he just prophesied.

00:40:45.833 --> 00:41:00.666
But when he swore by himself to Abraham and then swore by himself to David and then swore by himself to David and made promises concerning the covenant of the seed.

00:41:01.688 --> 00:41:12.791
Let me tell you something, folks Hallelujah, there was a whole system of worship in Jerusalem in the day of Abraham.

00:41:12.791 --> 00:41:13.974
How do I know that?

00:41:13.974 --> 00:41:15.376
Because Jesus was there.

00:41:15.376 --> 00:41:16.498
How do I know that?

00:41:16.498 --> 00:41:18.369
Because he was the high priest of God.

00:41:18.369 --> 00:41:19.512
How do I know that?

00:41:19.512 --> 00:41:34.777
Because you don't come up with the tabernacle in the wilderness and the temple in Jerusalem and everything else and think that Jesus himself, in the form of Melchizedek, didn't have a temple, didn't have worship, didn't have priests, didn't have sacrifices.

00:41:34.777 --> 00:41:35.739
Are you kidding me?

00:41:35.739 --> 00:41:37.000
He wrote the book.

00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:38.329
He is the book.

00:41:38.329 --> 00:41:41.675
He's the reason there is such a thing.

00:41:43.445 --> 00:41:45.713
You think Abraham never went to church.

00:41:45.713 --> 00:41:46.695
What are you nuts?

00:41:46.695 --> 00:41:48.271
He is our father.

00:41:48.271 --> 00:41:50.132
He is the father of faith.

00:41:50.132 --> 00:41:52.990
He was in service as much as he could.

00:41:52.990 --> 00:41:59.896
Every time he went to Jerusalem, he sat at the feet of Melchizedek and was preached the gospel of God.

00:41:59.896 --> 00:42:10.132
When God made him a promise concerning the seed, the seed in Jerusalem explained to him how was going to work.

00:42:10.132 --> 00:42:13.077
Hallelujah.

00:42:16.641 --> 00:42:30.547
See, what happened was that as soon as Abraham believed and as soon as David believed, they came into this realm of the covenant of faith that's in Melchizedek.

00:42:30.547 --> 00:42:36.277
Melchizedek is the high priest of faith.

00:42:36.277 --> 00:42:44.449
Abraham didn't know faith really until he came to Jerusalem and was taught faith.

00:42:44.449 --> 00:43:00.186
Praise God, jesus, jesus, melchizedek is the author and the finisher of what Our faith See.

00:43:00.186 --> 00:43:07.271
If Melchizedek is every bit Jesus, except that he didn't come out of a womb, then there is no difference.

00:43:07.545 --> 00:43:11.972
If Jesus is the high priest of our confession, melchizedek was in his day.

00:43:11.972 --> 00:43:15.007
He was the high priest over Abraham's confession.

00:43:15.007 --> 00:43:21.295
He told Abraham when he was confessing wrong and when he was confessing right no, abraham, don't say that.

00:43:21.295 --> 00:43:24.266
Don't say my wife, sarah, will never bear.

00:43:24.266 --> 00:43:36.375
Because God says this amen, even in your old age, even when you can't produce anymore and Sarah's womb is as good as dead, god's going to visit you.

00:43:36.375 --> 00:43:40.644
God's going to visit you, god's going to give you a name for that child.

00:43:40.644 --> 00:43:51.521
And he's going to say there's going to be this time I come back next year there's going to be a child born to this barren womb, for he, she, who is barren shall have many offspring.

00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:56.996
Aaron shall have many offspring.

00:43:56.996 --> 00:44:00.485
What about Ishmael?

00:44:04.793 --> 00:44:06.115
I'll tell you about Ishmael.

00:44:06.115 --> 00:44:07.798
His mother's name is Hagar.

00:44:07.798 --> 00:44:14.393
She is Mount Sinai, she is the old Jerusalem, she is the law and she is death.

00:44:14.393 --> 00:44:20.114
And her name is Hagar and her son is an offspring who is an enmity with my seed.

00:44:20.114 --> 00:44:21.396
Glory to God.

00:44:21.396 --> 00:44:28.385
And one of the one of his sons shall be Amalek, and the Amalekites shall be perpetual enemies of the Israelites.

00:44:28.385 --> 00:44:32.230
But Sarah, everybody say.

00:44:32.230 --> 00:44:38.856
Say Sarah, sarah, glory to God is not Sinai, but she is the new Jerusalem.

00:44:38.856 --> 00:44:40.099
Hallelujah.

00:44:40.099 --> 00:44:42.762
She is from above, hagar is from below.

00:44:44.905 --> 00:44:45.648
Isaac is the child of promise.

00:44:45.648 --> 00:44:47.655
Ishmael is the child of flesh.

00:44:47.655 --> 00:44:50.831
Are you getting any of this?

00:44:50.831 --> 00:45:00.246
And Jesus, who is of Isaac and who was Melchizedek?

00:45:00.246 --> 00:45:03.012
In that day and had access to Isaac, you started to teach him who he really was.

00:45:03.012 --> 00:45:05.097
Oh, you're not, not.

00:45:05.097 --> 00:45:05.965
Not who you are.

00:45:05.965 --> 00:45:07.815
You're not the only child.

00:45:07.815 --> 00:45:08.498
You're not that.

00:45:08.498 --> 00:45:11.230
You're not the only child, you're the child of promise.

00:45:11.230 --> 00:45:12.474
How they do.

00:45:12.474 --> 00:45:14.782
This other child was not a child of promise.

00:45:14.782 --> 00:45:16.777
This child is a child of Egypt.

00:45:16.777 --> 00:45:18.690
This child is a child of Pharaoh.

00:45:18.690 --> 00:45:27.510
This child's woman was a woman of Pharaoh and a woman of an apostate giant race.

00:45:27.510 --> 00:45:30.137
I'm not having that.

00:45:30.137 --> 00:45:40.766
If I have to raise Isaac up out of the dirt, I'll raise him up, but I'm gonna do one better.

00:45:40.766 --> 00:45:42.085
I already did that with Adam.

00:45:42.085 --> 00:45:46.088
Watch this hundred year.

00:45:46.148 --> 00:46:17.677
All I can tell you is there were two different cries out to God at that point oh, glory the other one was oh my God cries out to God at that point, oh glory.

00:46:17.677 --> 00:46:20.181
The other one was oh, my God.

00:46:20.181 --> 00:46:28.311
Or my wife's paraphrase of it it ain't happening here.

00:46:41.130 --> 00:46:42.150
Glory to God.

00:46:42.150 --> 00:46:44.554
My name's not.

00:46:44.994 --> 00:46:45.735
Abraham.

00:46:45.735 --> 00:46:52.166
With Jesus came.

00:46:52.166 --> 00:46:53.608
My name's not Abraham, so it's really not half of the problem.

00:46:53.608 --> 00:47:04.148
When Jesus came, he fulfilled what he started with.

00:47:04.148 --> 00:47:10.056
Abel, all the way from Abel to Seth Enoch, to Noah, abraham and Isaac, samuel and David.

00:47:10.056 --> 00:47:14.061
He followed that same pattern over and over.

00:47:17.094 --> 00:47:18.884
There was a high priest and there was a king.

00:47:19.864 --> 00:47:20.728
Oh, yes, there was.

00:47:20.728 --> 00:47:21.652
Glory to God.

00:47:21.652 --> 00:47:34.150
Abraham and David received the promise of the seed, the destiny that they had to be the ones to obtain the promise.

00:47:34.150 --> 00:47:38.034
Glory to God, listen to this.

00:47:38.034 --> 00:48:05.907
There was a thousand years between Abraham and David, a thousand years between David and the Christ, years between David and the Christ.

00:48:05.907 --> 00:48:07.248
Two promises extended over 2,000 years.

00:48:07.248 --> 00:48:07.588
Are you hearing?

00:48:07.588 --> 00:48:08.289
Two promise?

00:48:08.289 --> 00:48:19.815
A whole bunch of prophecies Prophecy concerning Bethlehem, prophecy concerning behold, a virgin shall conceive.

00:48:19.815 --> 00:48:25.112
Prophecy concerning that his name shall be mighty.

00:48:25.112 --> 00:48:31.393
God, everlasting Father, prince of Peace, all those kind of prophecies were out there.

00:48:31.393 --> 00:48:34.632
But there were only two promises.

00:48:34.632 --> 00:48:39.985
Abraham received the promise of the Holy Ghost.

00:48:40.085 --> 00:48:52.539
Galatians, chapter 4, says that the Holy Ghost, the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, is the prophecy or is the promise that God made to Abraham concerning the Holy Spirit.

00:48:52.539 --> 00:48:58.126
The Holy Spirit at Pentecost was the answer to God's promise to Abraham.

00:48:58.126 --> 00:49:01.893
That's how he was going to be the father of many nations.

00:49:01.893 --> 00:49:02.956
Amen.

00:49:02.956 --> 00:49:09.739
Abraham is the father of nations to which he has no physical seed in their creation.

00:49:09.739 --> 00:49:10.983
Oh, you're not hearing me.

00:49:10.983 --> 00:49:13.356
Seed in their creation?

00:49:13.356 --> 00:49:15.996
Oh, you're not hearing me.

00:49:17.164 --> 00:49:27.715
There are people in China, saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, who are the legitimate children of Abraham, and yet they are not tied to Abraham's physical seed.

00:49:27.715 --> 00:49:41.690
There are children all over this planet that have no genetic ties to Abraham, and yet they are Abraham's children.

00:49:41.690 --> 00:49:53.215
There are children all over this planet who have Abraham's DNA, and yet they are not Abraham's spiritual children.

00:49:53.215 --> 00:50:05.193
The Middle East is full of them On both sides, israeli and non-Israeli.

00:50:05.193 --> 00:50:22.905
The man had many sons and the sons had sons, and his physical seed and DNA is all over that part of the world, but his spiritual DNA is all over the world, fulfilling the promise that God gave to him.

00:50:22.905 --> 00:50:33.858
That's why Paul said that the outpouring of the Holy was the promise answered to Abraham.

00:50:40.965 --> 00:50:42.306
He was promised endless generations.

00:50:44.210 --> 00:50:47.838
So there's a promise of eternity to Abraham.

00:50:47.838 --> 00:50:57.054
I'm just talking when you ask me what was promised to Abraham are things that were promised him he had.

00:50:57.054 --> 00:51:08.036
The promise of eternal life was given to all nations, even though he was of the offspring of Enoch.

00:51:08.036 --> 00:51:18.367
Amen, the eternal life that Enoch deposited in Noah and sent across the flood and ended up being in Abraham.

00:51:18.367 --> 00:51:36.902
That eternal life, that change of DNA, amen was not just for Abraham, but it was for all of his inheritance, of his spiritual seed, so all the spiritual seed of Abraham, of his spiritual seed, so all the spiritual seed of Abraham.

00:51:36.902 --> 00:51:39.157
Amen now has the promise of eternal life when you did not have it before.

00:51:39.157 --> 00:51:41.690
Are you hearing this?

00:51:41.690 --> 00:51:49.376
There is absolutely no way to minimize Abraham's importance.

00:51:49.376 --> 00:51:52.809
Glory to God.

00:51:53.625 --> 00:52:16.996
He was promised an eternal priesthood because the eternal high priest was his priest, and then he turned right around and he was that priest to Isaac, and Isaac is the Christ of the Old Testament, the miracle birth and everything else.

00:52:16.996 --> 00:52:42.146
And we talked all about how the most holy place of the tabernacle is really the tent of Sarah, that Abraham went into amen and came out an intercessor, into amen and came out an intercessor.

00:52:42.146 --> 00:52:44.230
And then, when, when Rebecca came to marry Isaac.

00:52:44.230 --> 00:52:49.739
Isaac took Rebecca into Sarah's tent, rebecca's, the church.

00:52:49.739 --> 00:53:06.365
Isaac is the Christ, the tent is the is the tabernacle of meeting, and they went into the most holy place to consummate their, their wedding over to God.

00:53:06.365 --> 00:53:14.820
He had a promise to possess Jerusalem.

00:53:14.820 --> 00:53:18.132
How do I know that?

00:53:18.132 --> 00:53:25.793
Because God sent him and Isaac to Jerusalem for the sacrifice.

00:53:25.793 --> 00:53:30.570
Now see, I'm going to tell you this real simply.

00:53:30.570 --> 00:53:32.356
What word did God?

00:53:32.356 --> 00:53:35.128
You ready for this?

00:53:35.550 --> 00:53:40.652
for this quit believing pictures and movies and start believing God.

00:53:40.652 --> 00:53:44.742
You've got, you've got, I guarantee you.

00:53:44.742 --> 00:53:58.190
You've got Isaac and Mo and Abraham just trucking up this little hill, you know, and one of them's carrying this smoking you know thing, you know it's got the coals in it.

00:53:58.806 --> 00:54:12.735
One of them's got the donkey in tow that's got the wood on its back you know, and they're just going up the hill, you know, like to you know, on a hill far away, you know, but the truth of the matter is that's exactly where they were going.

00:54:12.735 --> 00:54:14.452
They were going to Calvary.

00:54:14.452 --> 00:54:21.637
The only trouble is that there's somebody that lives in Jerusalem Guess who?

00:54:21.637 --> 00:54:25.371
Melchizedek and he has a church there.

00:54:25.371 --> 00:54:29.175
He has a church there because he's the high priest of God.

00:54:29.175 --> 00:54:32.795
Now watch this.

00:54:32.795 --> 00:54:38.793
Not only is he the high priest of God and he's the high priest of God and he's a high priest in Jerusalem, but he's the king of Jerusalem.

00:54:38.793 --> 00:54:45.217
His name means king of peace, king of righteousness.

00:54:45.217 --> 00:54:49.394
His very name means king and priest.

00:54:49.394 --> 00:54:52.192
Are you hearing any of this?

00:54:52.192 --> 00:54:53.086
Now watch this.

00:54:53.086 --> 00:54:59.713
If there's a kingship and there's a priesthood there, there has to be some dwelling places there.

00:54:59.713 --> 00:55:01.880
You can't be a king of nothing.

00:55:01.900 --> 00:55:03.885
you know, I could be a king.

00:55:03.885 --> 00:55:05.108
You know, I'm a king.

00:55:05.108 --> 00:55:05.871
Glory to god.

00:55:05.871 --> 00:55:07.454
Where's your kingdom?

00:55:07.454 --> 00:55:09.438
Well, it hasn't quite materialized yet.

00:55:09.438 --> 00:55:10.329
We've all.

00:55:10.329 --> 00:55:14.284
We've all seen that tv show, right, the crazy guy that wants to be king.

00:55:14.284 --> 00:55:22.824
Nobody's following him, but he thinks he is and he's always got a couple adult guys that kind of go along with him a king, you know.

00:55:25.922 --> 00:55:28.333
I guarantee you that Melchizedek was not one of those.

00:55:28.333 --> 00:55:33.559
Amen, he was a real king, he was a real priest and he had a real bunch of people around him.

00:55:33.559 --> 00:55:36.592
And there was a real king, he was a real priest and he had a real bunch of people around him and there was a real city there.

00:55:36.592 --> 00:55:53.914
So here comes Abraham and here comes Isaac, and here comes the donkey with the wood, and they may be going right by Jerusalem, but their object is not the high priest's temple, their object is on this little hill.

00:55:57.346 --> 00:56:04.298
Glory to God, hallelujah, praise God, hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:56:06.708 --> 00:56:07.769
Oh, thank you, jesus.

00:56:07.769 --> 00:56:09.592
Glory to God.

00:56:09.592 --> 00:56:15.601
To the south, up that hill a little bit is a little rise.

00:56:15.601 --> 00:56:21.083
And Abraham took his son might not be too many people around there, it wasn't a real big city.

00:56:21.083 --> 00:56:38.255
Now there's a bus terminal there, but in those days there was just a rock and he built an altar right on the rock.

00:56:40.398 --> 00:56:51.331
You may think what men think can be so wrong.

00:56:51.331 --> 00:57:07.570
There's a place on the Temple Mount that the Jews and the Muslims think was the sacrifice place of Isaac, but it can't be.

00:57:07.570 --> 00:57:24.762
They went to a place called Moriah and if it has to be anywhere, it is not going to be where the law defines it to be, but it is going to be where grace defines it to be.

00:57:24.762 --> 00:57:41.713
God told Abraham to go to this place, this mountain, this mountain, the area called Moriah, and on that place I want you to sacrifice your son, your only son, isaac.

00:57:41.713 --> 00:57:45.809
And they went, they did, they laid him out.

00:57:45.809 --> 00:57:59.840
Abraham raised his arm, his right hand, to slay the boy, and the angel spoke from heaven and said do not slay the lad, for the Lord has seen and has spoken.

00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:05.510
And he says now I know that you will obey me.

00:58:05.510 --> 00:58:14.239
Right there, right there, the promise was confirmed.

00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:28.237
The promise, every promise that God made to Abraham was confirmed at that instant and the ram appeared in the thicket and took Isaac's place.

00:58:28.237 --> 00:58:31.242
You know the story, I don't have to retell it.

00:58:31.242 --> 00:58:44.351
But because Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him as righteousness, and he obeyed God in the most difficult thing.

00:58:44.351 --> 00:58:49.190
You can't imagine how difficult it was for Abraham to do this.

00:58:49.190 --> 00:59:00.693
But the Bible said he estimated, he figured, he reckoned that God was able to raise up Isaac from the dead.

00:59:04.402 --> 00:59:15.208
When I first started getting this revelation of the seed, I read that verse one day and it just nailed me and I asked God this question.

00:59:15.208 --> 00:59:17.447
I said who taught him that?

00:59:17.447 --> 00:59:22.492
Who taught Abraham about the resurrection?

00:59:22.492 --> 00:59:25.849
Who taught him that there was going to be a resurrection?

00:59:25.849 --> 00:59:31.393
How could he possibly imagine that God could raise his son from the dead?

00:59:31.393 --> 00:59:33.487
And he said who do you think taught him?

00:59:33.487 --> 00:59:34.965
I said Melchizedek.

00:59:34.965 --> 00:59:37.228
He said you finally got something right.

00:59:37.228 --> 00:59:42.360
Glory to God, said Melchizedek.

00:59:42.360 --> 00:59:43.342
He said you finally got something right.

00:59:43.342 --> 00:59:43.724
Over to God.

00:59:43.724 --> 00:59:44.885
And I mean from I went on a chair.

00:59:44.885 --> 00:59:50.186
I bet there wasn't a week or a Wednesday service that I didn't preach about Melchizedek.

00:59:50.186 --> 00:59:51.572
It went for months.

00:59:51.572 --> 01:00:03.684
God just poured this thing into me that he was the one who taught Abraham the entirety of the gospel, including the resurrection.

01:00:03.684 --> 01:00:13.762
And so when he took when he to raise his knife, he said look, I may raise this knife, but before I can take it out again, he's gonna be raised from the dead.

01:00:13.762 --> 01:00:20.795
And you know who taught him that Melchizedek.

01:00:20.795 --> 01:00:24.326
Melchizedek said go ahead and do it, watch what God will do.

01:00:24.326 --> 01:00:35.213
And you know who led the ram up the hillside and put him in the thicket Melchizedek.

01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:37.347
You think Melchizedek was going to miss this.

01:00:37.347 --> 01:00:40.576
Are you kidding me?

01:00:40.576 --> 01:00:47.621
Are you kidding me?

01:00:47.621 --> 01:00:47.942
You kidding me?

01:00:47.942 --> 01:00:48.262
You must be dad.

01:00:48.262 --> 01:00:49.244
There's no way he's not there.

01:00:49.244 --> 01:00:55.324
The only way he's not there is if he's gone, and I don't think he was gone because he still had to minister to Isaac and to Jacob.

01:00:55.324 --> 01:01:00.414
He didn't leave until Jacob left and went to Egypt.

01:01:00.414 --> 01:01:02.798
Glory to God.

01:01:02.798 --> 01:01:08.364
Are we hearing any of this praise?

01:01:08.364 --> 01:01:12.108
God, there's a.

01:01:12.108 --> 01:01:16.813
I'm gonna wrap this up for now.

01:01:16.813 --> 01:01:25.068
I appreciate you being here all day, but I do want, I always want.

01:01:25.068 --> 01:01:38.648
I always want to take this and put it in your hands and say this is what's for you.

01:01:38.648 --> 01:01:40.266
This is why this is important.

01:01:40.266 --> 01:01:43.467
You could look at me and you can say that's really interesting.

01:01:43.467 --> 01:01:44.690
I'm glad you taught us that.

01:01:44.690 --> 01:01:47.728
What in the world does that have to do with my tomorrow?

01:01:47.728 --> 01:01:54.719
What in the world does that have to do with anything I'm going through?

01:01:56.003 --> 01:01:56.543
I'm going through.

01:01:58.688 --> 01:01:59.652
And that's a good question.

01:01:59.652 --> 01:02:22.141
You need that because there is no reason for me to do this other than let you know it's in there, except for this it's still the first words of your New Testament and you can't get away from that.

01:02:22.141 --> 01:02:38.548
That is God ordained, that is God chosen, that is God directed, and you owe it to God, the Holy Ghost, to get as much out of that one verse as you possibly can before you go on to any other.

01:02:38.548 --> 01:02:50.347
See, you can, you can go, you can, everybody can go and find their favorite verse.

01:02:50.347 --> 01:02:53.201
You know what's your favorite verse?

01:02:53.201 --> 01:02:57.568
I don't know, but you can go find one.

01:02:57.568 --> 01:03:02.014
But how does it line up with the first words?

01:03:11.061 --> 01:03:13.550
If you know this, then you have a duty.

01:03:13.550 --> 01:03:21.423
See, I've done you a disservice, I have added to your burden.

01:03:21.423 --> 01:03:24.813
You have a responsibility.

01:03:24.813 --> 01:03:34.085
You can't walk away from this message and just say, oh, that was nice, just got God just really blessed.

01:03:34.085 --> 01:03:35.911
Brother Gordon, it's such a, it's such a.

01:03:35.911 --> 01:03:48.599
I just feel so warm and fuzzy when I oh, just that to God, I'm gonna come over and I'm what, what was that?

01:03:48.599 --> 01:03:50.001
Yeah, I'm gonna do that here.

01:03:50.001 --> 01:03:54.807
Glory to God.

01:03:54.807 --> 01:04:04.684
This is what it is for you, because you're now that seed.

01:04:04.724 --> 01:04:11.751
See when all this was written, when all this was prophesied, when all this was promised, both Abraham and David.

01:04:11.751 --> 01:04:14.356
We'll pick up David the next time three weeks from today.

01:04:14.356 --> 01:04:19.967
Second Saturday meeting in Irving God.

01:04:19.967 --> 01:04:20.672
You will get a.

01:04:20.672 --> 01:04:28.708
You will get a, an announcement the week before, but it will be somebody looking up on your calendar what the second Saturday is.

01:04:28.708 --> 01:04:31.239
I think it's, I don't know, I can't guess.

01:04:31.239 --> 01:04:35.809
I'm not going to praise God, hallelujah, we'll call it.

01:04:35.809 --> 01:04:48.889
We'll pick it up with David 13, 13, 13th of 13th of July.

01:04:48.889 --> 01:04:52.719
Praise God, hallelujah, we'll pick it up with David.

01:04:53.161 --> 01:05:02.202
But this is what I want you to know all of those promises were basically made to two men, abraham and David.

01:05:02.202 --> 01:05:13.784
But the promise was to Abraham and his seed, and that seed was not many, it was one, and that one was Christ.

01:05:13.784 --> 01:05:16.530
Okay, what does that mean?

01:05:16.530 --> 01:05:28.534
The seed was present when God made the promise, but the promise was to disperse the seed in many members.

01:05:28.534 --> 01:05:37.753
So that seed that came and was impregnated into the womb of Mary.

01:05:37.753 --> 01:05:39.431
God was made flesh and the word was made flesh.

01:05:39.431 --> 01:05:47.945
Into the womb of Mary, god was made flesh and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

01:05:47.945 --> 01:05:56.447
That seed was made flesh and it was made flesh and it was made flesh and it was made flesh and it was made flesh and it was made flesh and it was made flesh and it was made flesh, half years until he died at Calvary.

01:05:56.447 --> 01:06:02.306
Unless a seed fall to the ground and die, it remaineth alone.

01:06:02.306 --> 01:06:08.230
But if it falls to the ground and dies, it bears much fruit, amen.

01:06:08.230 --> 01:06:09.998
So it fell to the ground and died.

01:06:09.998 --> 01:06:24.653
But on the day of first fruits Somebody say the day of first fruits is the day after the first Passover, or the first Sabbath after Passover.

01:06:25.940 --> 01:06:46.525
In other words, the Sunday after Passover is a celebration of the day of first fruits the high priest would go out in the barley field and look for the first shoots that would come up out of the ground and they would harvest those first shoots, take them back to the temple and burn them on the altar of sacrifice.

01:06:46.525 --> 01:06:48.148
Are you hearing me?

01:06:48.148 --> 01:06:51.242
Glory to God on that day of firstfruits.

01:06:51.242 --> 01:06:56.492
If I say firstfruits, the first fruit came up out of the ground.

01:06:56.492 --> 01:06:59.007
Well, you're not hearing me.

01:06:59.007 --> 01:07:00.101
Somebody should have shouted.

01:07:00.442 --> 01:07:08.146
I said the first fruit came up out of the ground and was now in a position to bear much fruit.

01:07:08.146 --> 01:07:12.438
That day, he bore the fruit of Mary Magdalene.

01:07:12.438 --> 01:07:15.246
He bore the fruit of the other women that brought.

01:07:15.246 --> 01:07:17.641
These brought the spices he brought.

01:07:17.641 --> 01:07:18.208
He bore the fruit of Peter.

01:07:18.208 --> 01:07:18.713
He bore the the spices.

01:07:18.713 --> 01:07:19.260
He bore the fruit of Peter.

01:07:19.260 --> 01:07:21.286
He bore the fruit of John.

01:07:21.286 --> 01:07:23.166
He bore the fruit of the eleven.

01:07:23.166 --> 01:07:26.148
He bore the fruit of the two on the road to Emmaus.

01:07:26.300 --> 01:07:27.443
Are you hearing anything?

01:07:27.443 --> 01:07:30.793
I'm saying Glory to God, hallelujah.

01:07:30.793 --> 01:07:34.547
He got up out of that grave and he started to bear fruit.

01:07:34.547 --> 01:07:38.246
Every one that he touched, amen received the life of God.

01:07:38.246 --> 01:07:43.355
Were not our hearts burning within us as he talked to us along the road?

01:07:43.355 --> 01:07:44.382
Glory to God.

01:07:44.382 --> 01:07:45.586
And he broke the bread.

01:07:45.586 --> 01:07:47.467
And they knew him in the breaking of bread.

01:07:47.940 --> 01:07:53.719
I'm telling you this Jesus started as soon as he was up out of the grave and he hasn't stopped.

01:07:53.719 --> 01:07:56.362
And you are part of that harvest.

01:07:56.362 --> 01:07:58.021
You are part of those first fruits.

01:07:58.021 --> 01:07:58.626
You are part of that harvest.

01:07:58.626 --> 01:07:59.494
You are part of those first fruits.

01:07:59.494 --> 01:08:00.019
You are part of this seed.

01:08:00.019 --> 01:08:03.329
This has been the design of God forever.

01:08:03.329 --> 01:08:05.067
If you ask me who am I?

01:08:05.067 --> 01:08:11.329
I'm going to tell you you are the seed of God, the same way that Jesus was the seed of God.

01:08:11.329 --> 01:08:12.210
Amen.

01:08:12.210 --> 01:08:20.609
And until you know that, until that is your waking awareness every day, not even bothering to go to sleep at night.

01:08:20.609 --> 01:08:27.488
When you go to sleep at night, your seed person is still awake, still thinking about how to produce more seed.

01:08:27.488 --> 01:08:30.760
Glory to God.

01:08:30.760 --> 01:08:34.652
You are the promise that God made to Abraham.

01:08:34.652 --> 01:08:46.012
Whenever Abraham looks over the balconies of heaven and looks down at this meeting, he's gonna say there are some of my grandchildren.

01:08:46.012 --> 01:08:46.975
Glory to God.

01:08:47.658 --> 01:08:51.043
I never, I never got the Hudson Oaks, texas.

01:08:51.043 --> 01:08:57.851
But, bless God, I got a whole bunch of there and they all look like me.

01:08:57.851 --> 01:09:07.152
You say, well, I don't have a long beard, a white beard and white hair, any of that kind of stuff.

01:09:07.152 --> 01:09:08.377
I don't look like that.

01:09:08.377 --> 01:09:09.220
He's not what.

01:09:09.220 --> 01:09:10.524
That's not what he's looking at.

01:09:10.524 --> 01:09:12.069
He's looking at your seed.

01:09:12.069 --> 01:09:16.927
He's looking at the seed person that Jesus has made you to be.

01:09:16.927 --> 01:09:17.970
Amen.

01:09:17.970 --> 01:09:20.743
And this is the reality of the new creation.

01:09:20.743 --> 01:09:21.887
Amen.

01:09:22.503 --> 01:09:28.582
The reality of the new creation is not this struggle to put the old man down and raise up the new man.

01:09:28.582 --> 01:09:32.729
Every day you need to do that, but, bless God, it shouldn't be a struggle at this point.

01:09:32.729 --> 01:09:41.606
Your seed man should be so victorious in all of this at this point, amen, that you are reproducing.

01:09:41.606 --> 01:09:51.990
This is all we've got to teach you, month after month, year after year, week after week.

01:09:51.990 --> 01:09:53.225
It's all we've got to teach you.

01:09:53.225 --> 01:09:59.190
You are something entirely different than what religion has tried to make you be.

01:09:59.190 --> 01:10:09.862
You're not only a new creation, but you are actually the form of the seed that is in the earth today.

01:10:09.862 --> 01:10:26.631
The seed is not in heaven, kind of directing his puppets and speaking a little word to them every once in a while, going, you know, and then go down and do likewise.

01:10:26.631 --> 01:10:28.661
You know, this is not Jesus.

01:10:28.661 --> 01:10:42.145
Jesus does not give you, doesn't take his seed and get a little paring knife and just cut you off a slice and say be happy with it.

01:10:42.145 --> 01:10:56.963
The miracle of the new creation is that the seed named Jesus can replicate himself entirely in your flesh, the same way that he was created in the flesh of Mary.

01:10:56.963 --> 01:11:13.845
He can recreate himself in that flesh by the Holy Ghost, and the indwelling presence of the Holy Ghost can take that seed, because those two things are synonymous with the promise that God gave Abraham and repeated to David.

01:11:13.845 --> 01:11:15.088
Are you hearing me?

01:11:15.088 --> 01:11:21.064
Amen, and you know.

01:11:21.064 --> 01:11:22.649
Listen to me very carefully.

01:11:24.362 --> 01:11:33.712
When John said in the first chapter of the book of Revelation, he has made us to be both kings and priests unto our God.

01:11:35.122 --> 01:11:40.113
That's not some word of encouragement to some person that's never had $10 in their hand.

01:11:40.113 --> 01:11:45.710
They have no idea what it means to be a king and even a less idea of what it means to be a priest.

01:11:45.710 --> 01:11:47.206
That's not what that means.

01:11:47.206 --> 01:11:56.551
That means that he has made us all as the seed of the new creation to elevate and step into this realm of Melchizedek.

01:11:56.551 --> 01:12:00.747
Where Melchizedek is the high priest, Jesus is still the king.

01:12:00.747 --> 01:12:01.789
Glory to God.

01:12:01.789 --> 01:12:03.814
And they're one and the same, amen.

01:12:03.814 --> 01:12:09.948
And that high priesthood and that royal kingship is alive in you.

01:12:09.948 --> 01:12:12.006
That's who you are.

01:12:12.006 --> 01:12:15.350
You are not what religion tells you you are.

01:12:15.350 --> 01:12:17.640
You're not what the world tells you you are.

01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:19.788
You are what the seed tells you you are And're not what the world tells you you are.

01:12:19.788 --> 01:12:23.488
You are what the seed tells you you are, and the seed says you are mine.

01:12:23.488 --> 01:12:31.046
I have made you into my image and no one is going to take you out of my hand.

01:12:48.100 --> 01:12:49.144
Next time somebody says what's your name?

01:12:49.144 --> 01:12:50.307
Go seed, oh, you might as well just have fun with them.

01:12:50.307 --> 01:12:51.813
They're not going to pay any attention to you anyway.

01:12:51.813 --> 01:12:57.728
The next time you meet, next time you meet them, they're going to have to ask you what your name is again, because they didn't pay any attention the first time.

01:12:57.728 --> 01:12:58.630
But I'll tell you.

01:12:58.630 --> 01:13:06.952
If you tell them my name is Seed oh, you're that person that said your name was Seed.

01:13:06.952 --> 01:13:07.694
That's right.

01:13:07.694 --> 01:13:09.266
You want to know why my name is Seed.

01:13:09.266 --> 01:13:15.109
You got an in with them and they will never forget the conversation.

01:13:16.421 --> 01:13:20.862
First thing I prayed for, for that young man that helped us with the flat tire.

01:13:20.862 --> 01:13:24.890
As soon as we got away from him, I prayed it over him.

01:13:24.890 --> 01:13:27.523
But as soon as we got away, I kept doubling down in the prayer.

01:13:27.523 --> 01:13:34.722
I said God, I pray that not one day, not one day, will he ever forget that moment.

01:13:34.722 --> 01:13:39.514
Not one day will he ever turn away from that moment.

01:13:39.514 --> 01:13:45.444
But he will be pursuing what we deposited in him the rest of his life.

01:13:46.667 --> 01:13:47.430
Glory to God.

01:13:47.430 --> 01:13:48.764
How can I say that?

01:13:48.764 --> 01:13:49.787
Because I'm a seed.

01:13:49.787 --> 01:13:51.948
I am a seed of the new creation.

01:13:51.948 --> 01:13:55.083
I am the very fabric of who Jesus is.

01:13:55.083 --> 01:13:56.127
Glory to God.

01:13:56.127 --> 01:13:57.625
He isn't transforming me.

01:13:57.625 --> 01:13:59.207
He isn't forming me just so I can be a better Adam.

01:13:59.207 --> 01:13:59.470
He is changing me into who Jesus is.

01:13:59.470 --> 01:13:59.545
Glory to God.

01:13:59.545 --> 01:13:59.878
He isn't transforming me.

01:13:59.878 --> 01:14:00.521
He isn't forming me just so I can be a better Adam.

01:14:00.521 --> 01:14:03.608
He is changing me into who he is.

01:14:03.608 --> 01:14:06.632
I am the seed of the new creation.

01:14:06.632 --> 01:14:14.554
I have the power to pass this on, just the way Abraham did, just the way David did and just the way Jesus did.

01:14:14.554 --> 01:14:19.470
That destiny has been given to me since before the foundation of time.

01:14:19.470 --> 01:14:20.472
Hallelujah.

01:14:20.472 --> 01:14:22.627
This whole thing was laid out by God.

01:14:22.627 --> 01:14:26.926
This is His dream, this is how he wants it to be, and this is who we are.

01:14:26.926 --> 01:14:33.104
To come into agreement with anything less than this is blasphemy.

01:14:33.104 --> 01:14:52.532
It is an idea that is contrary to the very thoughts of God, and we are commanded to take those thoughts as captives and bring them into the submission and the obedience of Christ.

01:14:52.532 --> 01:14:56.207
Are we hearing this today?

01:14:56.207 --> 01:14:59.630
You want to know how this applies to you.

01:14:59.630 --> 01:15:06.728
It applies to you because it is who you are, and I have said this many times.

01:15:06.728 --> 01:15:07.945
I'm going to keep on saying it.

01:15:07.945 --> 01:15:17.451
This is why we're sent to you, so that you can change the data on the driver's license.

01:15:17.451 --> 01:15:21.945
You can change the data that they're going to put on your tombstone.

01:15:22.546 --> 01:15:23.909
That's right, come on.

01:15:26.314 --> 01:15:26.975
Hallelujah.

01:15:26.975 --> 01:15:29.908
People ask me have you made any plans yet?

01:15:29.908 --> 01:15:33.186
Well, I got lots of plans, but not the kind of plans you're thinking about.

01:15:35.551 --> 01:15:35.853
Right.

01:15:37.180 --> 01:15:42.043
Glory to God, hallelujah.

01:15:42.043 --> 01:15:50.317
Why would I be making those kind of plans when my DNA comes directly from Enoch oh yes, it does.

01:15:50.317 --> 01:16:00.851
Hallelujah who walked with God and was not because he did not see death.

01:16:00.851 --> 01:16:05.747
He just looked at death on the way by and went.

01:16:05.747 --> 01:16:14.534
Glory to God, hallelujah.

01:16:14.534 --> 01:16:18.025
This is who you are.

01:16:18.025 --> 01:16:20.725
This is who you've always been.

01:16:26.145 --> 01:16:42.887
When you start meditating on this one thing that you have always been a child of the seed and then when God quickens you into this awareness amen.

01:16:42.887 --> 01:16:51.186
You can see all of your life, whatever parts of it, have been a disobedience.

01:16:51.186 --> 01:16:55.134
You can see that, begin to see that as an aberration.

01:16:55.134 --> 01:16:59.009
You can begin to see that for what it really is.

01:16:59.009 --> 01:17:04.688
It's because somebody was lying to you and nobody was telling you the truth.

01:17:06.582 --> 01:17:09.467
But when somebody sent by God.

01:17:09.467 --> 01:17:14.207
There was a man sent from God whose name was John.

01:17:14.207 --> 01:17:18.327
He was not that light, but he was sent to testify to that light.

01:17:18.327 --> 01:17:19.720
I am not that light, but he was sent to testify to that light.

01:17:19.720 --> 01:17:26.731
I am not that light, but I'm as much of the seed as anybody else, amen.

01:17:26.731 --> 01:17:31.087
And I've been sent to tell others that they are too.

01:17:31.087 --> 01:17:59.047
That's the confidence that devils can't deal with If you go to them as me, full of the Holy Ghost, well then, I'll just wait for you to get out of the way and let the Holy Ghost cast this devil out.

01:17:59.047 --> 01:18:19.347
Then, if that's what you've got to say about it, because I don't have to go for you, but if you go as the seed, there's not a single thing they can say Except I'll be gone in a moment.

01:18:19.347 --> 01:18:21.226
I'll be gone in an instant.

01:18:21.226 --> 01:18:37.029
I am out of here Because these signs belong to them that believe, believe what, believe who they are, not who Jesus is, but believe who you are.

01:18:37.029 --> 01:18:40.003
Amen, praise God, let's stand.

01:18:40.003 --> 01:18:42.492
Hallelujah.

01:18:42.492 --> 01:18:45.244
Glory to God.
