- 0:00Ed said, "Angels hearken diligently to
- 0:05the word."
- 0:10>> So say the word and boom, they're in
- 0:13action. Hallelujah.
- 0:15>> Heavenly Father, we continue in worship.
- 0:18We continue in acknowledgment of you
- 0:21through our singing, through our
- 0:23prayers, through our offerings, through
- 0:27all of the dialogue and activities that
- 0:29we have within this body, through your
- 0:32word. And now, Father, may we rest and
- 0:37have the word of God activated in our
- 0:39minds and hearts. We open up the realm
- 0:42of revelation to your word. For you are
- 0:45the word and the testimony of Jesus is
- 0:47the spirit of prophecy.
- 0:49>> So may Holy Spirit you come in with the
- 0:52spirit of prophecy and declare and lift
- 0:55up your name in word as we did in
- 0:57worship as we did in prayer. May our
- 1:00hearts always feel
- 1:03the compelling urge to lift you up and
- 1:06worship you.
- 1:07>> We thank you for your written word. We
- 1:09thank you for your audible word. We
- 1:11thank you for the frequency of the word
- 1:13and invite the living letters to come in
- 1:15and bring the revelation of the word to
- 1:17our hearts. May your blood be a hedge of
- 1:20protection round about us. At this place
- 1:23would be sanctified and this place your
- 1:27presence would be welcome. For just like
- 1:30we find rest in you, may you find rest
- 1:33in us today. And we place the sword of
- 1:35your presence in the midst
- 1:39in Jesus name. Amen.
- 1:44We're going to continue to talk about
- 1:46body today.
- 1:48So, I want to start off by asking a
- 1:50question.
- 1:53And I did move this. Is that bad? Are we
- 1:56okay?
- 1:58>> We're good. Great. Thank you. Question
- 2:00for everybody. What is the most
- 2:03important aspect, function, design of
- 2:08your body?
- 2:12The answer was Jesus. We're supposed to
- 2:14have that answer like maybe five or 10
- 2:16in, not like the first one. But you know
- 2:19what you did? You just saved me
- 2:21opportunity to share more scripture with
- 2:23you guys. Thank you. Great. Thank you.
- 2:31>> Our bodies
- 2:34the most important aspect
- 2:37is
- 2:39to
- 2:40house Jesus, right? And if we are a
- 2:44house, we are a
- 2:47Don't you know that your body is the
- 2:51>> temple?
- 2:54Great.
- 2:58So our bodies are the temple.
- 3:02There's also another type of body. Let's
- 3:04say this is the individual body.
- 3:06The body that you see me writing with.
- 3:10There's also another type of body,
- 3:15individual body.
- 3:17What other type of body is described in
- 3:19scripture?
- 3:21>> Corporate body. I didn't do that this
- 3:24morning, but I want to give this
- 3:26corporate body a name.
- 3:28What is the name of the corporate body?
- 3:33>> Church.
- 3:34>> The bride. Yes.
- 3:39The body of whom?
- 3:45>> Christ's body.
- 3:47H.
- 3:49And if it is his body
- 3:54in revelation it talks about how he is
- 4:00the temple.
- 4:04So collectively we are a temple and we
- 4:07are his body. Agree
- 4:10>> right? We don't have to go in scripture
- 4:11for this. So it's he is it's his body
- 4:17which means it's his temple.
- 4:27So much so that Zion does not have a
- 4:30need for the sun to shine or the moon to
- 4:32shine because he is the light from
- 4:35within. He is the temple.
- 4:38He is all in all.
- 4:42Okay, that makes sense. Good. So, keep
- 4:44that in mind.
- 4:47So, if we're a temple, our bodies are a
- 4:50temple.
- 4:52A temple serves what function?
- 4:56>> It houses
- 4:59to Christian's point, God. A temple is
- 5:03an interface. It's a meeting point with
- 5:05God. So, in first Kings chapter 8,
- 5:08Solomon finishes building the temple. He
- 5:10prays and what happens?
- 5:13The inviteee shows up
- 5:16and everybody else has to leave, right?
- 5:19Moses builds the ark of the covenant.
- 5:21Praise. What happens? The inviteee shows
- 5:24up.
- 5:27>> Now there's God is inviting the temple.
- 5:30When you give your life to Christ and
- 5:33you believe with your heart, what
- 5:35happens? Jesus shows up with his spirit.
- 5:39So he's a temple. Makes sense, right?
- 5:44So back to the body piece.
- 5:48How do you treat your temple?
- 5:53How do you treat the house of God?
- 5:59Do you find you bless the house
- 6:03or do you curse the house more?
- 6:08Do you desire for a new house?
- 6:13Does he desire for a new house?
- 6:18I think because he has already come into
- 6:21the house, he likes your house more than
- 6:24you.
- 6:28Does the world like your house?
- 6:34The world is trying to kill your house.
- 6:36You know why? because they don't want
- 6:37the one that's in it.
- 6:42>> That's why the poisons are coming in
- 6:46from the air, through the water, through
- 6:48the food, through medicines, through
- 6:52through through frequencies
- 6:55because they hate your house because of
- 6:59whom it houses.
- 7:03Because your body's a temple.
- 7:07It's the same thing with the corporate
- 7:10body.
- 7:13But see, where one sends a thousand to
- 7:14flight, two send 10,000. How many does
- 7:16the corporate body send?
- 7:18But it's worse.
- 7:22Psalm 22.
- 7:25Psalm 22 is a description of what was
- 7:28taking place on the cross. In fact,
- 7:31Christ was speaking this out when he
- 7:32said, "Father, Father, why have you
- 7:34forsaken me?" Look what it says about
- 7:36this though in Psalm 22.
- 7:41Verse 14. I am poured out like water and
- 7:44all my bones are out of joints. My heart
- 7:47is like wax. It melted in the midst of
- 7:50my bowels. Now I want to point something
- 7:52out here. There is bones of the body
- 7:58and there's the heart.
- 8:05Wait a minute.
- 8:08The corporate body is the body of Christ
- 8:11which is the temple of Christ and he is
- 8:14saying that it is out of joint.
- 8:23Ephesians chapter 2.
- 8:27This is setting the stage. Ephesians
- 8:28chapter 2. Paul is seeing this and he
- 8:32says
- 8:34verse
- 8:3620 and are all built like a house, like
- 8:40a temple upon the foundation of the
- 8:43apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
- 8:44himself being the chief cornerstone in
- 8:47whom all the building, what building?
- 8:51The corporate body which is the temple
- 8:56which is his body
- 8:58fits fra fitly framed together grows
- 9:02unto a holy temple.
- 9:06This out of joint body on the cross and
- 9:10his heart that was burdened. I'm going
- 9:13to get into what that heart is. His body
- 9:16is us
- 9:19pulled apart,
- 9:22out of joint,
- 9:24separated.
- 9:27And Paul is saying, "Thank you."
- 9:33Amen.
- 9:34There is a little separated. Yes. But
- 9:38not for long. No.
- 9:42Paul's saying it's going to come
- 9:44together fitly framed together
- 9:48as his temple. And then it says in verse
- 9:5222, in whom you also are built together
- 9:55as a habitation of God through his
- 9:56spirit.
- 9:58So why am I going into this?
- 10:02Because the enemy hates this body.
- 10:12So when
- 10:14we curse that body,
- 10:18we are cursing
- 10:20the one whose body it is.
- 10:28Let me say it a different way.
- 10:31If I don't love my brothers and sisters,
- 10:35I don't love the body on the cross.
- 10:46He died for his body to be reconnected.
- 10:51But we are the body. So on the cross,
- 10:53his body is disconnected. So if we don't
- 10:57love the body, we don't love his body
- 11:00that is on the cross.
- 11:04His body on the cross and us as a body
- 11:07are one and the same.
- 11:14So the world takes a look at your body,
- 11:18takes a look at our body
- 11:21and curses it
- 11:24and mocks it.
- 11:27When you look in the mirror, who have
- 11:30you listened to?
- 11:32Have you listened to the word of God or
- 11:34have you listened to the world or to the
- 11:36enemy?
- 11:38When you look in the mirror, do you
- 11:39bless or do you curse?
- 11:45All of our lives, we are working on our
- 11:47bodies. Are we working on our bodies to
- 11:50be healthy, or are we working on our
- 11:52bodies to change?
- 11:55Because if we're working on our bodies
- 11:57to change the one whom made us as
- 12:01temples and who indwells in us, we want
- 12:04to change our temple because we're
- 12:07really not really we're not happy with
- 12:09the temple because we don't think we're
- 12:11worthy. But he already thought we're
- 12:12worthy because he put himself inside of
- 12:15us.
- 12:18So actually when you curse your body,
- 12:20you're cursing the one in the body
- 12:23and you're cursing the one on the cross,
- 12:26his body on the cross.
- 12:30See, when his body was crucified,
- 12:33it was us too.
- 12:36That's why Paul said, "I am seeing this
- 12:40come together." All the bones, Ezekiel
- 12:4337, coming together alive. Paul seeing
- 12:46everything fitly framed together to to
- 12:50start creating the entire body of Christ
- 12:53that he can dwell in in a holy manner.
- 12:56That is Revelation 21 and 22.
- 13:01But we can't get there if we're cursing
- 13:03what he already blessed.
- 13:08So keep this in mind as we start going
- 13:10through some of these scriptures. What
- 13:11is better,
- 13:14>> the inside or the outside of the body?
- 13:18>> What do we focus on more?
- 13:21>> The outside of the body, but it's the
- 13:23inside that's the house where he dwells.
- 13:29>> See, Satan has us working in all kinds
- 13:31of ways. We're like a pretzel.
- 13:34>> I'm I'm upset because uh my my hair is
- 13:37gone. My wrinkles are coming in. I'm
- 13:39upset because my I'm I'm aging. But what
- 13:42am I really doing is I'm fighting
- 13:44against the temple instead of
- 13:47spending peace with it and using it to
- 13:51glorify him.
- 13:54See, the world is telling you you need
- 13:55to look this way, this way, this way,
- 13:57this way. What are they really saying? I
- 13:59don't like your body and I want to redo
- 14:00your temple.
- 14:04That's exactly what they're trying to do
- 14:06with all this transgender stuff. They're
- 14:07trying to make a mockery of the temple.
- 14:14All of the things you're trying to
- 14:15rearrange with your face, you're trying
- 14:17these, the enemy is trying to make a
- 14:18mockery of the temple
- 14:21because the enemy hates the temple. And
- 14:23if he can modify the temple, then he can
- 14:25modify and limit the one who dwells in
- 14:28there. Why?
- 14:31Why? Because a holy God lives in a holy
- 14:35house.
- 14:35>> Yes.
- 14:36And if the house is unholy, God is not
- 14:39going to live in it.
- 14:43That's why he sanctified us so that he
- 14:46can live with us.
- 14:50So both our individual bodies and our
- 14:52corporate bodies need to be blessed by
- 14:55us. Back to Edward's word. Speak the
- 14:57word.
- 14:59Speak blessing.
- 15:00>> Amen.
- 15:01>> Speak blessing to the temple. speak
- 15:04blessing to the temple and the body of
- 15:07Christ.
- 15:10So with that said and established as our
- 15:13starting start starting point, which was
- 15:14a very fun starting point. With that
- 15:17said,
- 15:19his mercies are new every day.
- 15:22>> I want you to shake off
- 15:25any curses that are coming to mind that
- 15:28you have spoken over your body.
- 15:31any agreement with the enemy on what
- 15:34your body is supposed to look like.
- 15:38And today I want you to move forward.
- 15:41Today harden not your heart. Today begin
- 15:44the blessing process of his temple.
- 15:48In first Corinthians 6:20 it says that
- 15:50your body is his.
- 15:53>> He is declaring that is my temple. That
- 15:56is my temple. That is my temple.
- 15:59This is my temple.
- 16:03>> So stop fighting him.
- 16:06Heavenly Father, we thank you for the
- 16:09blessing that you have given us of our
- 16:11bodies and we bless our bodies as the
- 16:14living temples of the holy God. We thank
- 16:17you because you are holy and because
- 16:20your spirit dwells in us, it must mean
- 16:24that our bodies have been sanctified as
- 16:28holy.
- 16:30So we receive that now in Jesus name
- 16:33today and moving forward forever more.
- 16:37For a holy God dwells in a holy house.
- 16:42Amen.
- 16:43>> Matthew chapter 23. Now, let's start
- 16:46breaking this down and breaking it down
- 16:49in the spirit. And
- 16:52for those of you that know me, you know
- 16:54that I love to get into the scripture.
- 16:57And I love to get in the scripture
- 16:58because the scripture is in your heart
- 17:00and mind. So you what you're not
- 17:02understanding is I'm not necessarily
- 17:03going for an in intellectual pursuit.
- 17:05I'm doing I'm speaking to your hearts.
- 17:07I'm speaking to your mind. I'm
- 17:08activating your hearts and I'm
- 17:09activating your minds. That's what
- 17:11Yeshua does. He is the word. So I'm
- 17:13actually speaking Yeshua. I'm saying the
- 17:16word and angels are moving when I speak
- 17:19on his word. That's what we're doing.
- 17:21I'm just deconstructing this. Matthew
- 17:23chapter 23.
- 17:25>> Matthew 23 says this very interesting
- 17:29passage and it's a passage that u I
- 17:32think a lot of people just kind of o
- 17:34overlook but it is everything about the
- 17:36body. It's about the structure of the
- 17:39temple and the temple is the body and
- 17:41the body is the temple individually and
- 17:44corporately. When you read this and when
- 17:45you listen to this, think you think your
- 17:48body.
- 17:50>> Matthew 23 verse 14. Woe unto you
- 17:55scribes and Pharisees. Now why is he
- 17:57talking to the scribes and Pharisees?
- 17:58Because they were the priests. They were
- 18:00the priests of what? Where did they
- 18:02where did they work? In the temple.
- 18:07Individually they were teachers of the
- 18:10law to the temples and then corporately
- 18:14they were priests at the temple.
- 18:19So this is an entire body message if the
- 18:22body is the temple.
- 18:26Now the scribes and Pharisees were doing
- 18:28it the wrong way. So Yeshua is calling
- 18:30them out.
- 18:32So when I read the first few verses,
- 18:34know that there's an opposite effect
- 18:37because he's saying Pharisees, this is
- 18:39how you do it. It's wrong. And then he's
- 18:42going to clean it up and say, "This is
- 18:43how you're supposed to do it." All
- 18:44right? So just bear with me as I read
- 18:45through a few verses. Matthew 23
- 18:49verse 14. Woe unto you scribes and
- 18:52Pharisees,
- 18:54>> hypocrites,
- 18:58for you devour widows houses, and are
- 19:01for a pretense made for longer prayer.
- 19:04Therefore, you shall receive greater
- 19:05damnation. This is how heavy this is.
- 19:09All right. So, now let's jump to 16. Woe
- 19:12unto you, you blind guides. What are
- 19:15they guiding them in? They're guiding in
- 19:17the word. They're guiding people in the
- 19:21revelation of their identity and the
- 19:23revelation of who he is.
- 19:27There's there's a pathway to this and it
- 19:29is the word. So they're not helping
- 19:32people and this is what they're not
- 19:34helping people. They are saying
- 19:36Pharisees, you are saying whosoever
- 19:39shall swear by the body.
- 19:44Says temple, right? But the temple is
- 19:46the body.
- 19:49Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it
- 19:51is nothing. They say ah you can swear by
- 19:54the temple. However,
- 19:56if you swear by the gold in the temple,
- 19:59oh, that's really bad.
- 20:01H,
- 20:03so if the body is the temple
- 20:07and they're speaking of the temple
- 20:08itself,
- 20:10they really didn't care for the upkeep
- 20:13of the temple. They cared for all the
- 20:15gold.
- 20:18They said, "That's what's important. How
- 20:20rich we are as Pharisees. how rich we
- 20:23are as a church,
- 20:27not how holy the church is.
- 20:31It's okay if we have altars of Ashrath
- 20:34in there. It's okay if we have altars to
- 20:36bail,
- 20:39but
- 20:41if the money's coming in,
- 20:48see, they thought more of the gold
- 20:51rather than the temple.
- 20:54Keep going.
- 20:56You fools and blind. For what's greater?
- 20:58The gold or the temple that sanctifies
- 21:02the gold?
- 21:04So that anytime you hear the word
- 21:06sanctify that means holy but it also
- 21:08think also think the blood of Christ.
- 21:12So does the blood of Christ apply to the
- 21:15gold or does it apply to the temple?
- 21:20Keep that in mind. You fools and blind.
- 21:23What's greater? The gold or the temple
- 21:24that sanctifies the gold? Another layer.
- 21:28He says this about them. You say
- 21:31Pharisees, whosoever shall swear by the
- 21:33altar, it is nothing. But whosoever
- 21:37swears by the gift upon it, he is
- 21:39guilty. They were saying, "Yeah, doesn't
- 21:43matter what the altar looks like. It
- 21:44could be broken in the temple. It can
- 21:47even be an altar to
- 21:49mammon.
- 21:51But if the sacrifice of grain and meat
- 21:54offerings upon that altar and people
- 21:56brought that in, that's good because we
- 21:59get the meat offering, we get the grain.
- 22:02So that's good. I don't care what the
- 22:03altar says.
- 22:10Now to show you how important that the
- 22:12altar was in terms of sanctifying the
- 22:14gift,
- 22:16Ezekiel sees this. He sees the spirit of
- 22:19God
- 22:21with a cherubim
- 22:24hovering
- 22:26over Mount Mariah, which was where the
- 22:28Solomon's temple was. Lift up and go
- 22:31east and land on the Mount of Olives.
- 22:36What did he see? He saw where the altar
- 22:40was now sanctified.
- 22:43So now the death of Christ on the Mount
- 22:46of Olives
- 22:48was sanctified there because the altar
- 22:51was sanctified.
- 22:53If he were to die on Mount Mariah at
- 22:54Solomon's temple,
- 22:57the offering would not have been
- 22:58sanctified
- 23:00because the altar was not sanctified.
- 23:04So the Pharisees are more interested in
- 23:07the sacrifice in the offering coming off
- 23:10the altar.
- 23:12So keep that in mind. That's the
- 23:14physical temple, but it also is the
- 23:16body. The altar is the physical altar,
- 23:21but the altar is also our hearts. Going
- 23:24back to I erased this. Going back to
- 23:27Jesus in Ma I Psalm 22, I said body and
- 23:31heart,
- 23:34temple and altar.
- 23:39Your heart is an altar unto Yahw.
- 23:44Keep that in mind.
- 23:48So verse 19, you fools in and blind,
- 23:50wherefore is greater, the gift or the
- 23:52altar that sanctifies the gift?
- 23:56Who so therefore shall swear by the
- 23:58altar swears by it and the things
- 24:00thereof?
- 24:03Verse
- 24:0621, level three, because I'm seeing this
- 24:10in levels in the spirit realm. And this
- 24:14is what Yeshua is picking up. Level
- 24:16three. Altar. Temple. Now he says this
- 24:22verse 21. He that swears by the temple
- 24:25swears by my head. Altar.
- 24:30Temple. Oh, going back to the reverse. I
- 24:32said the reverse about the temple and
- 24:33the altar. Now I'm getting to what
- 24:35Yeshua has in proper order. Verse 21. So
- 24:39whosoever, this is the proper order,
- 24:41swears by the temple swears by it and by
- 24:45him that dwells therein. So when I put
- 24:49up on the board, your body is the
- 24:52temple. If you swear against the temple,
- 24:56you are swearing against the one who
- 24:59resides in the temple.
- 25:05I hate my body. You just said you hate
- 25:08Yeshua and you hate everybody.
- 25:13>> Amen. So, I cut that off in the name of
- 25:15Yeshua.
- 25:21I don't like the way I look.
- 25:27You hate your body and the one that
- 25:29dwells therein.
- 25:34He liked it enough to dwell in it.
- 25:40Verse 22,
- 25:42third level, heaven. We had to altar
- 25:46temple now heaven. And he that swears by
- 25:49heaven swears by the throne of God and
- 25:53by him that sits thereon. Well, I really
- 25:56don't swear by heaven.
- 25:59Well, keep in mind that in the heavens
- 26:02plural, there is the third heaven where
- 26:04his throne is, but there's many heavens
- 26:07that have many thrones.
- 26:11So, if you are occupi
- 26:14occupied
- 26:17by things of Babylon and its kingdom and
- 26:20its authority and its space, you are
- 26:24actually having a throne in your house.
- 26:28in your temple.
- 26:31A great measurement of this is just
- 26:34think about how what's the number one
- 26:37topic in your mind on a daily basis.
- 26:42That's the space of what your heaven is
- 26:46in what you are worshiping, blessing and
- 26:48cursing. Which means there is a throne
- 26:50behind that.
- 26:53If my heaven is the Babylonian exchange
- 26:57of money through my job,
- 27:00my main throne
- 27:03is that of Babylon and Mammon.
- 27:07Oh, I'm a Christian though. I read my
- 27:10Bible today. Yeah, but my mind is
- 27:13consumed with making money.
- 27:16The reason that it's consumed is because
- 27:18that throne has rule and reign in my
- 27:21house. my body, my temple.
- 27:27So that's why Jesus said, "Whoever if
- 27:30you swear by heaven, you're also then
- 27:32swearing by the throne thereof."
- 27:36Because the throne is the seat of
- 27:37authority.
- 27:39So if I love money, I'm actually
- 27:43having an establishing the throne of
- 27:46mammon over my head.
- 27:55Lastly,
- 27:57verse 23. Woe unto you scribes and
- 28:00Pharisees, hypocrites, for you pay tithe
- 28:02and mit and anise and coming and have
- 28:05omitted the weightier things of the law,
- 28:07judgment, mercy, and faith. These ought
- 28:10you have done and not leave the others
- 28:12undone.
- 28:14This is the way of the world. This is
- 28:16the kingdom of Babylon. This is unholy
- 28:19wisdom is that we always look at the
- 28:22hand and the blessing,
- 28:24the stuff, the outward things. That's
- 28:28why he said to them, "You hypocrites,
- 28:31you are whitewashed tombs. On the
- 28:34outside, you look good, but inside
- 28:36you're filled with dead man's bones."
- 28:39Because you're saying, "Oh, look at all
- 28:41the money that I give to bride." But
- 28:43from your heart, from that altar, you're
- 28:45actually worshiping mammon. You're
- 28:48actually worshiping yourself. You're
- 28:49actually worshiping something else.
- 28:52Maybe you even are worshiping Baal.
- 28:54Maybe you're worshiping lust. So, you're
- 28:56actually giving your sacrifice of tithes
- 29:00from Ashtarath.
- 29:05Is that blessed then? No. Jesus said,
- 29:08"What? Don't look at the Don't look at
- 29:10the gift. Look at the altar. If it's
- 29:12coming from an unholy altar, that means
- 29:14that gift is unholy.
- 29:19Christian just did a three-day business
- 29:22intensive. And everybody wants to be
- 29:25successful in business.
- 29:28Business is the outward works. It's like
- 29:30the gold and the silver and the wood and
- 29:32the hay and the stubble. It's the work
- 29:33of our hands. But if we are cursing the
- 29:37temple and him that is in it, then the
- 29:41work of our hands, no matter how
- 29:43successful we are, is actually being
- 29:46powered up by a different throne and by
- 29:48somebody other than God.
- 29:51And it will be burned as wood, hay, and
- 29:55stubble when the consuming fire comes.
- 30:01Therefore, we bless the temple and him
- 30:03that's in there. We bless the altar and
- 30:05then the gifts are blessed when we
- 30:07worship.
- 30:11When we worship with all of our strength
- 30:15and some of you have very good voices,
- 30:17so you offer your voices up.
- 30:20I don't. I offer my heart up and it's a
- 30:23little crackly coming out of the voice
- 30:24sometimes.
- 30:26You offer
- 30:28hours of worship. You offer beauty in
- 30:31worship, but your heart
- 30:36also
- 30:37worships your looks.
- 30:43So now that offering of sacrifice and
- 30:46thanksgiving,
- 30:48it's not blessed because it's coming
- 30:50from an altar of how you look in front
- 30:52of everybody and how you sound in front
- 30:54of everybody.
- 30:56This is why when you look at churches
- 30:58corporately that are worshiping and
- 31:00they're not really worshiping, they're
- 31:02just singing.
- 31:09It's not the worship sound
- 31:12that's blessed. It's the altar that it
- 31:15came from, the heart.
- 31:20>> That's why we worship him in spirit and
- 31:22in truth.
- 31:26So this is what how I see this in the
- 31:28spirit
- 31:33didn't like me.
- 31:40This is what he's speaking about. Alter
- 31:46all terror
- 31:49that is
- 31:51our heart
- 31:55and off of that we produce
- 32:00sacrifices.
- 32:04Well Todd I don't know sacrifices we
- 32:06don't kill animals. No sacrifices of
- 32:08praise. Sacrifices of offering.
- 32:11Sacrifices of thanksgiving. sacrifices
- 32:14of works. Paul says, "Offer your body as
- 32:17a living sacrifice, your temple
- 32:21and all the works thereof."
- 32:24And he repeatedly says, "Stand, stand,
- 32:27stand, stand." You know why he says,
- 32:28"Stand is because a priest would stand
- 32:31until his sacrifice was fully consumed."
- 32:36Our sacrifices are not fully consumed
- 32:39until either he returns or we return.
- 32:46which is why he sat
- 32:51because his sacrifice
- 32:53was complete.
- 32:59Off of our hearts
- 33:01are our altars and that sanctifies the
- 33:06sacrifice.
- 33:10The sacrifice is not sanctified if this
- 33:13is unsanctified.
- 33:16When we worship,
- 33:19you realize that there are times that it
- 33:22feels and we sense this in the spirit.
- 33:25There is a ceiling or maybe there's a
- 33:28flow.
- 33:31The ceiling happens when we have a
- 33:34second altar, a third altar, and all of
- 33:37these are unsanctified.
- 33:40See, when when I bring into my worship
- 33:43all of my worries, I have another altar
- 33:46right next to my altar that's
- 33:48sanctified. And my worries are
- 33:51sacrifices.
- 33:54And they're sanctifying in an unholy
- 33:56manner that altar because I'm putting
- 33:58that altar ahead of the holy altar. So
- 34:02now when I sing from the place of worry,
- 34:04my worship is not worship because it's
- 34:07not sanctified. It's coming off of an
- 34:09unsanctified altar. So now I have a
- 34:12limitation of how much a holy God can
- 34:16dwell in a holy house.
- 34:24If we can all focus
- 34:28on his altar collectively,
- 34:32the ceiling gets blown away.
- 34:36And the reason it gets blown away is
- 34:38because the holy God then inhabits the
- 34:42holy house
- 34:44because he is pleased with the
- 34:45sacrifices off of our sanctified hearts.
- 34:51Next, the temple.
- 34:57The temple is our bodies.
- 35:03And the body is whom dwells.
- 35:09Uh-oh.
- 35:15Who?
- 35:18If you curse your body or you have
- 35:21listen to the world and you are trying
- 35:23to make your body into the image of the
- 35:25world, you are actually putting somebody
- 35:27else inside.
- 35:39Why do you think they're trying to alter
- 35:41the DNA?
- 35:46Because they're trying to put somebody
- 35:47else inside.
- 35:54One of my prayers all the time is that
- 35:56when I eat that it blesses my body
- 36:01and Yeshua redoes my DNA the way it was
- 36:06originally intended to be.
- 36:10One of the ways I pray is I put a filter
- 36:13upon me to filter out anything that's
- 36:17coming through the air, water, or food
- 36:19that I ingest or absorb
- 36:23because they're trying to change without
- 36:26my will, without my say the temple
- 36:31so that they can have something else
- 36:33dwelling in my temple.
- 36:37not having it.
- 36:40But most of the time we willingly allow
- 36:43other things in our temple
- 36:45by agreement.
- 36:49Same thing when people curse us. Yeah.
- 36:52You you're you're you're just you're
- 36:53short. You're too short. You're too
- 36:54short. You're too tall. You're too fat.
- 36:56You're too skinny. You're too this.
- 36:57You're too that. You're too that. You're
- 36:58too that. They're trying to change your
- 36:59temple and now you agree with it.
- 37:03Now you have set up in the temple all
- 37:06around writings too short, too fat, too
- 37:12bald, too this, to that. You have now
- 37:15cursed the temple in the spirit realm
- 37:18and a holy God is not going to dwell in
- 37:21an unholy house.
- 37:25He gives us his spirit as a down
- 37:27payment. It's a bridal dowy payment, but
- 37:30he is not going to manifest
- 37:33in greater manners in an unholy house
- 37:35out of mercy.
- 37:39Otherwise, the unholy house would be
- 37:42consumed.
- 37:48I mean, I guess if we all just decide
- 37:50just, hey, let's just wreck the house
- 37:52right away and then he'll just take us
- 37:53home. That's one way to do it. But that
- 37:55would not produce fruit.
- 37:58That's not what we're called to do.
- 38:01So, we have this
- 38:05producing holy sacrifices. We bless the
- 38:09temple body and then we're blessing him
- 38:13that dwells in it. Amen.
- 38:18>> So now we have heaven
- 38:22and heaven
- 38:24establishes
- 38:25the atmosphere for a throne.
- 38:30So therefore,
- 38:32if we are thinking about the kingdom of
- 38:35heaven more than any other kingdom, if
- 38:38we are thinking about his heaven, the
- 38:40third heaven, we are establishing his
- 38:43throne into the temple into the body and
- 38:47is all going down into the altar. So
- 38:49therefore, his throne governs our lives.
- 38:54However,
- 38:57and I don't mean to pick on people, but
- 38:59it seems that it's kind of the message.
- 39:03So maybe this is Yeah. I hope. If
- 39:05anything that is of my flesh, I pray
- 39:07that is blown away as chaff of the wind
- 39:10and anything that's of him, may it land
- 39:11in in in good ground.
- 39:19If you are running around with your
- 39:21weapons of warfare
- 39:24and you are swearing,
- 39:26when I say swearing, that is what's
- 39:30occupying your mind and you're running
- 39:33around and you're just beating up the
- 39:35enemy and you're battling the enemy and
- 39:37I got this and I got that. And when I
- 39:39say swearing, you're proud of it. This
- 39:42is who I am.
- 39:45I'm a warrior for the king.
- 39:50I battle in the night. I battle my night
- 39:52dreams. I I I I I fight against the
- 39:55enemy. I I can't wait to tell you about
- 39:58all the warlocks and witches that I beat
- 40:00up.
- 40:03You are swearing by a second heaven,
- 40:06which actually means the enemy has
- 40:08established a throne
- 40:11possibly of pride in your life.
- 40:17He has you fighting an away game.
- 40:23>> You're fighting on his turf.
- 40:29And the odds of winning an away game
- 40:31always go down.
- 40:35The home field always has a better
- 40:36advantage.
- 40:38But if you are occupied in your mind by
- 40:42the kingdom of heaven, his kingdom, his
- 40:45throne then is established over all
- 40:48things and now you fight from there. But
- 40:51it's not that you're fighting from there
- 40:52in terms of my weapons changed. No, it's
- 40:57sanctified in the temple now. That the
- 41:00kingdom of heaven is now occupying my
- 41:04temple, my body. And therefore, his
- 41:06throne is occupying my temple, my body.
- 41:16So, what heaven do you swear by?
- 41:19What heaven do you meditate on?
- 41:24What heaven do you spend time in
- 41:26dictates your throne.
- 41:32There's one more thing that he says
- 41:35and we sang about this.
- 41:40the name above all names,
- 41:45his name
- 41:49which is the word.
- 41:54Now I wrote that name in the word up
- 41:56there.
- 41:58When we think about the altar is within
- 42:01the temple and the temple is within
- 42:03heaven and the heaven within heaven what
- 42:06governs the heaven is his throne.
- 42:10Is there anything higher than his throne
- 42:12where he is seated?
- 42:18He is and he is the name.
- 42:22He is the word of God.
- 42:26Yahwa is above all things. By his word,
- 42:30he holds all things together, both in
- 42:33heaven and in earth and under the earth.
- 42:36By his word, he holds together the
- 42:38heavens and the temple and the altar.
- 42:41Which means everything that comes off of
- 42:43the altar, everything that occupies the
- 42:45temple, everything that sits upon and
- 42:47within the governance of the heavens,
- 42:50his name is above.
- 42:54So when we corporately when we
- 42:56individually lift up his name, we are
- 43:00acknowledging this altar is sanctified,
- 43:03this temple is sanctified, this heaven
- 43:06is sanctified, and his name runs
- 43:08throughout all the way through.
- 43:15That's the mechanics in the spirit realm
- 43:19of your body.
- 43:25Another thought for you. Think about how
- 43:28much of scripture details out the
- 43:32physical natural temple of the past.
- 43:35It's really specific.
- 43:39All the little nuances to it.
- 43:43How much more so your body?
- 43:46Because that's the temple.
- 43:51How much do we think about our body that
- 43:55way?
- 43:57To bless it, to honor it.
- 44:00This is where it gets hard. Now,
- 44:03how much do I honor and bless this body
- 44:10and this body and this body because this
- 44:13is his body?
- 44:18Most people that I run into, I I I've
- 44:21been in the business realm for like 35
- 44:23years plus,
- 44:27been in ministry for 30 years plus. And
- 44:30when you sit in front of somebody and
- 44:32have a dialogue and you're talking to
- 44:34people in the face to face and you're
- 44:36exchanging words, you can tell when
- 44:38someone's really present
- 44:42because they are attentive to what you
- 44:44are saying. They're not concerned about
- 44:47what they're saying. They're actually
- 44:49outwardly focused and they're lifting up
- 44:52someone else's understanding, what their
- 44:55thoughts are, what's going on in their
- 44:56heart. And then there's people that
- 44:59aren't hearing a thing you're saying
- 45:01because they can't wait to speak again.
- 45:06Or
- 45:07they can't hear what you're saying
- 45:09because they're actually attending to an
- 45:11altar of something else.
- 45:14They're not even physically present with
- 45:16you.
- 45:21This is what it means to be a priest
- 45:25where you are engaged with Yahon on. But
- 45:29this is also what it means to have
- 45:31preference of one another more than
- 45:33yourself that I am more interested in
- 45:35your well-being than I am in mine.
- 45:38>> I am so confident and this is how this
- 45:41is where you have to be. I am so
- 45:43confident that Yahw blesses me.
- 45:45>> Now I'm working on you. How do I come
- 45:48alongside your journey? How do I how do
- 45:50I see improve and and and get you to
- 45:53understand how much he blesses you?
- 45:55>> I'm not worried about me anymore.
- 45:57>> Amen.
- 46:00>> That's what it really means to love his
- 46:03body.
- 46:06>> Because what did he say? There's no
- 46:07greater love than a man give up his life
- 46:09for another.
- 46:11>> So, I'm not worried about my temple
- 46:13anymore. Otherwise, I I I've already
- 46:15blessed it. I bless it all the time. I'm
- 46:17now trying to get you to bless your
- 46:19temple.
- 46:22>> But so many people
- 46:26here comes a body blow. So many people
- 46:30are looking at look at my sacrifices for
- 46:33the kingdom when inside their altars and
- 46:37their temples are unholy because it's
- 46:40all about them.
- 46:44I don't care how big your ministry is,
- 46:48it will be burned in the fire if it is
- 46:52coming from an unholy temple. And a
- 46:54temple means collective body.
- 47:04He was blasting the scribes and
- 47:07Pharisees because of this.
- 47:12So with that said, now let's shift and
- 47:16dig a little bit more into the body from
- 47:18a different perspective. What are the
- 47:20top two commandments?
- 47:24>> That's right. Love God, love each other.
- 47:30This is a summary of the ten
- 47:32commandments. First four commandments
- 47:33were how to love God. Next, practically.
- 47:36Next six commandments, practically how
- 47:38to love one another. Hey, part of how
- 47:40you love one another is don't kill
- 47:41somebody.
- 47:42>> But then Jesus said it could go a step
- 47:44further. I want you to never hate
- 47:45somebody.
- 47:47>> Never hate somebody.
- 47:51Never hate your brothers. Don't have
- 47:53lists.
- 47:55That's something that really is is a big
- 47:57thing with me with relationships. Ellie
- 48:00and I have been married um it'll be 33
- 48:02years next week or this coming week.
- 48:05And we do not keep lists with one
- 48:08another. What do I mean by a list? Uh,
- 48:11well, you did not pick me up on time and
- 48:13we were late here and you forgot my
- 48:15birthday and this and this and this. But
- 48:17that was 25 years ago. Yeah. Well, I
- 48:20haven't gotten to I haven't gotten to
- 48:21last year yet. That's on the list. We
- 48:24don't do that.
- 48:28We don't do that. He doesn't keep lists.
- 48:37So loving each other also means not
- 48:41giving a bad report.
- 48:44Well, if I have a list,
- 48:47I'm giving a bad report.
- 48:49>> If I have a list, who has the biggest
- 48:51list?
- 48:53Who has the biggest list?
- 48:56>> No. Who has the biggest list against
- 48:58you?
- 48:59>> The accuser.
- 49:02How does he accuse? He accuses from a
- 49:06list of all your wrongs.
- 49:10[Music]
- 49:21>> Definition of love.
- 49:25Todd, that's really nice.
- 49:28But I love my fellow man
- 49:36except when I'm driving.
- 49:41I love other people and bride
- 49:44except when I interact with them,
- 49:47but I pray for him,
- 49:54right?
- 49:58The Greek word for love is agape. The
- 50:01Hebrew word for love is ahab.
- 50:07It's spelled alf
- 50:10bet. This extra a in there is just for
- 50:13pronunciation reasons. That's how it's
- 50:15spelled.
- 50:17Now, the first mention
- 50:21of the word, and the reason that this is
- 50:23a big deal, why is it's the first
- 50:24mention? Because this word is so
- 50:26important. This is the summary of the
- 50:29commandments.
- 50:31Hero, O Israel.
- 50:34Yahweh, your Elohim is one. And then
- 50:36they go into love. Ahab, God.
- 50:41That's the first thing they're supposed
- 50:42to do. So now the first mention of that
- 50:47word is going to give us an indication
- 50:50of really a little bit more depth.
- 50:53What is love really? Okay, I understand.
- 50:57I kind of understand. I have some
- 50:58examples. I have some bad examples.
- 51:00First mention is Genesis 22
- 51:05verse two.
- 51:07Abraham was told to sacrifice Isaac.
- 51:12And it says Abraham,
- 51:15Ahab, Isaac, his son,
- 51:20his only begotten son, which is clearly
- 51:23language of Yahwa father and Yahwa son.
- 51:28Abraham is a type of father. Isaac is a
- 51:31type of Christ.
- 51:34So the very first definition of the word
- 51:36love or use of the word love is right
- 51:39there. Father loves son. And what did
- 51:44Jesus say in John 17?
- 51:48He said many things over and over and
- 51:50over again, the same thing. Me and the
- 51:53father are one.
- 51:56So love, true love is becoming one with
- 52:00somebody.
- 52:05>> That means your heart,
- 52:08that means your hidden things.
- 52:11[Music]
- 52:15That means you don't have lists. That
- 52:18means you're not cursing.
- 52:22Because if you really love
- 52:25your spouse, then you're not going to
- 52:27curse your spouse. Just like someone's
- 52:30not supposed to curse his own body, Paul
- 52:33says.
- 52:39So the first mention of love is father
- 52:42and son. So when God says love me,
- 52:45you're supposed to love me like my son
- 52:48loves me.
- 52:54Second mention, this word is used so
- 52:56much. Let's just dwell in the second
- 52:58mention. Second mention is this Genesis
- 53:0124:67
- 53:03which is when Isaac meets Rebecca
- 53:08and Isaac aha ahab Rebecca. Isaac is a
- 53:13type of Christ. Rebecca is a type of the
- 53:15bride
- 53:17the body.
- 53:20So the picture we have with love
- 53:23is
- 53:26love Whoops.
- 53:29God
- 53:31love
- 53:33his body
- 53:36>> which is each other.
- 53:42But if we go back to body equals temple,
- 53:48we love our bodies because he dwells in
- 53:51it.
- 53:53>> That's how we love him because we love
- 53:55our bodies. So now he will come a holy
- 53:58God will dwell in a holy temple. So now
- 54:00I can love him and now I love the
- 54:02corporate body
- 54:05because that's the bride which is his
- 54:08body which was on the cross.
- 54:13And where are we today as a body of
- 54:16Christ?
- 54:19We can't even get to the place where
- 54:21we're blessing one another because we're
- 54:22too busy cursing ourselves.
- 54:29I'm not saying this all to put shame on
- 54:32people. That's not the point. Remember,
- 54:34I started off and said there's no shame.
- 54:36His mercies are new every day. We're
- 54:37going forward. The idea is he's going to
- 54:40take us there.
- 54:43This is so heavy in my heart because the
- 54:46groom is worthy of a worthy is worthy of
- 54:50a bride that's worthy of him.
- 54:55I I see this picture often in prayer.
- 54:59I see this beautiful, holy, powerful,
- 55:04majestic groom sitting on the throne.
- 55:08And the bride is
- 55:11in tattered clothes, adulterous,
- 55:15cursing the groom,
- 55:18>> cutting its nose off despite its face.
- 55:22surrounded and filled with all these
- 55:25different altars and thrones
- 55:29and I just weep
- 55:32because that's the bride that he's going
- 55:35to marry.
- 55:39So, we've got to start individually
- 55:42bless your body and start getting to the
- 55:45point where you know your identity so
- 55:46well you start to bless others.
- 55:49>> That's what it means to love him and
- 55:51love one another. So, with that said,
- 55:53look what look at some of the verses
- 55:54that that that are in here because I'm I
- 55:57know I am probably stretching this a
- 55:59little bit. I might even be making some
- 56:01things up. I said if anything is of my
- 56:03flesh, I wanted to be blown away as
- 56:04chaff of the wind and anything that's of
- 56:06God and of the Holy Spirit, I want it to
- 56:08land. So, let's look at the word a
- 56:10little bit more. John 13, John was a
- 56:12lover of Christ. He leaned upon his
- 56:14breast. He is the one whom Jesus most
- 56:16loved.
- 56:18He was he said. So you have to believe
- 56:22what he said. That's what he said. So
- 56:24what does John have to say about this?
- 56:26John 13 verse 34 and 35 says this. A new
- 56:29commandment I give you. This is him
- 56:32writing down what Jesus said. A new
- 56:35commandment I give you. Who? The
- 56:36disciples the body. That you love one
- 56:38another as I have loved you. That you
- 56:41may also love one another. As I loved
- 56:43you means equal.
- 56:46I want you to love one another as much
- 56:48as I love you.
- 56:56He keeps going.
- 56:59By this
- 57:01all will know that you are my disciples
- 57:04if you have loved one another.
- 57:08So I look around the room and how do I
- 57:11judge if you're a disciple of Christ?
- 57:15How do you love one another?
- 57:19There aren't very many disciples in the
- 57:21earth.
- 57:25All right, John, that was a bold
- 57:27statement. Let's see what else you have
- 57:28to say. John 15.
- 57:34some of the language. One of the reasons
- 57:36I really love John is his language is so
- 57:40simplistic
- 57:43but so powerful.
- 57:46Paul's language, I love Paul's language
- 57:49as well. Paul, I always have this
- 57:51picture of Paul. He has so much
- 57:54revelation going on in his head. He
- 57:56can't get it all out. So, he's expanding
- 57:59words and using words to try to capture
- 58:0110 words all in one word. That's why
- 58:04Peter said, um, yeah, we love our
- 58:06brother Paul. He's a great apostle, but
- 58:08he's really hard to understand
- 58:09sometimes.
- 58:10So, here's John 15. Listen to the words.
- 58:13They're simple, but it's so true.
- 58:16Verse 12. This is my commandment, Jesus
- 58:19said again, that you love one another as
- 58:22I have loved you. So, he's consistent.
- 58:24But now look at verse 17. John 15:1 17.
- 58:27These things I command you that I love
- 58:32one another. And so many people are
- 58:35running around, oh, I want to know what
- 58:36my scroll is. Oh, I want to know what
- 58:38I'm supposed to do. Here's your scroll.
- 58:40Love one another.
- 58:46>> What else do you need to do?
- 58:48If you love one another, you love his
- 58:50body. If you love his body, you love his
- 58:52sacrifice. If you love his sacrifice,
- 58:54that means your altar is is sanctified.
- 58:56That means your temple is sanctified and
- 58:58he dwells in you. Now his presence is
- 59:00there. Seek first the kingdom of God. So
- 59:01now his throne's established and all
- 59:03righteousness will be added unto you and
- 59:05all the things that you need will be
- 59:06added unto you.
- 59:07>> Amen.
- 59:08>> Instead, we're looking for the things
- 59:09which is much harder to do than to love
- 59:11one another. Aha.
- 59:19>> Thanks for that encouraging word, John.
- 59:23I didn't read this in the first service,
- 59:25but I want to do some more. John, first
- 59:27John 3
- 59:30the at some point in time I got to do a
- 59:32study on first John. John first John for
- 59:35a lot of people is just like okay
- 59:37there's some things in here that kind of
- 59:39make sense. They're good sound bites but
- 59:42John is actually weaving together a
- 59:44masterpiece in the spirit. First John
- 59:47chapter 3 23 and 24. And this is his
- 59:51commandment.
- 59:53Wait a minute. We already got one
- 59:55commandment. What's this next one? That
- 59:58you believe in the name of the son of
- 59:59Jesus Christ and love one another. Oh,
- 1:00:01okay. That's the same one. As he gave us
- 1:00:03commandments. So, John's consistent. But
- 1:00:05now look what he says regarding loving
- 1:00:07one another in this context. Not only
- 1:00:10will everyone know that we're disciples
- 1:00:12of his, but verse 24. And he that keeps
- 1:00:15his commandments
- 1:00:18dwells in him.
- 1:00:21and he in him.
- 1:00:27The commandment to love
- 1:00:31is a measuring stick of how much you
- 1:00:34dwell in him in him. In you
- 1:00:39goes back to remember I said Matthew 23
- 1:00:42is mechanics.
- 1:00:44You bless the temple, you bless the
- 1:00:46body, you bless the one who dwells in
- 1:00:49the body. John just said it. If you
- 1:00:51bless, what's bless? Love. If you love
- 1:00:54the body, he will dwell in you. If you
- 1:00:56love the body, he will dwell in you. Us.
- 1:01:02If you despise the body, if you despise
- 1:01:05the body, he is not going to dwell in
- 1:01:07you. And you're not going to dwell in
- 1:01:09him.
- 1:01:12But Psalm 27, oh all the days that are
- 1:01:14of my life that I would seek to dwell in
- 1:01:17his house,
- 1:01:20to behold his beauty and to inquire
- 1:01:22within his temple, which means you can't
- 1:01:23inquire within the temple if you don't
- 1:01:25love because you can't dwell in the
- 1:01:27house.
- 1:01:30You're not getting revelation without
- 1:01:31love.
- 1:01:35But I want to hear from God. Love.
- 1:01:39You see that? But I want to hear from
- 1:01:41God. I'm going to pray more. I'm going
- 1:01:43to study more. I'm going to worship
- 1:01:45more. All of your sacrifices are on
- 1:01:47unsanctified altars in an unsanctified
- 1:01:49temple until you love.
- 1:01:54But look at the work of my hands. I'm
- 1:01:55actually building a ministry.
- 1:01:59Who's actually building it? Will it
- 1:02:02stand when the consuming fire comes?
- 1:02:07Don't look at the things as they are.
- 1:02:12That's not it.
- 1:02:15Look if they're established on the rock.
- 1:02:21Thanks for that encouraging word.
- 1:02:25Paul has some things to say.
- 1:02:29I said this in the first service and
- 1:02:30this still kind of cracks me up. So
- 1:02:32Paul, I'm going to
- 1:02:35get Paul's version of love after Paul
- 1:02:39was Saul and was a killer of Christians.
- 1:02:43How possibly can Paul speak about love?
- 1:02:47Doesn't say that he was married. He
- 1:02:49seemed like a vagabond, just kind of his
- 1:02:50own guy. He didn't even get along with
- 1:02:52Peter, James, and John.
- 1:02:56>> He opposed Peter to his face because he
- 1:02:59was to be blamed. That's what it says in
- 1:03:01Galatians. So, here's Paul speaking
- 1:03:03about love. Very interestingly, 1
- 1:03:05Thessalonians chapter 3
- 1:03:09says this,
- 1:03:14and we'll read verses 12 and 13.
- 1:03:18And the Lord make you to increase and
- 1:03:20abound
- 1:03:22in love one toward another, and toward
- 1:03:26all, even as we have loved you.
- 1:03:31See, there's an interesting
- 1:03:34um
- 1:03:35pattern here that I'm giving you. It's
- 1:03:37not just to love. I'm also connecting
- 1:03:40what love produces. Paul's going to give
- 1:03:43you how what love produces. Verse 13. To
- 1:03:47the end he may establish your hearts
- 1:03:52unblameable
- 1:03:54in holiness before God, even our father
- 1:03:59at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
- 1:04:01with all of his saints.
- 1:04:04I did erase that hearts. Hearts means
- 1:04:08altar.
- 1:04:10He wants to establish your altar.
- 1:04:15so that all of the sacrifices on it are
- 1:04:19accepted. And when he comes in glory as
- 1:04:24a consuming fire,
- 1:04:27you realize that when Jesus shows up to
- 1:04:30fight, it's over.
- 1:04:35It's not even a contest.
- 1:04:37It's just his presence.
- 1:04:41Everything that we do with spiritual
- 1:04:43warfare right now, everything that we do
- 1:04:44with deliverance is part of our
- 1:04:47salvation journey.
- 1:04:49If he wanted to take the enemy out, he'd
- 1:04:51take the enemy out right now.
- 1:04:54But the process of taking the enemy out
- 1:04:57helps us understand redemption. It helps
- 1:05:00us understand forgiveness.
- 1:05:02It helps us love him more and love one
- 1:05:05another more.
- 1:05:10It helps us become a team. It helps us
- 1:05:13become one. It helps us to rely on one
- 1:05:16another. It helps us see the gifts and
- 1:05:19capabilities in one another because none
- 1:05:22of us can do it ourselves.
- 1:05:26The end is not wiping out the enemy. The
- 1:05:29end is loving him and loving one
- 1:05:32another.
- 1:05:34Everything in our lives in the earth
- 1:05:37realm is to learn this lesson.
- 1:05:44Which means you also love your body and
- 1:05:49you love the body.
- 1:06:03I'm going to close with Hebrews chapter
- 1:06:052.
- 1:06:20I want to reiterate there is no shame in
- 1:06:23this message.
- 1:06:24We are all in the same place. I used to
- 1:06:27run a lot of marathons.
- 1:06:30And a marathon is 26.2 miles. It's a
- 1:06:32very long run.
- 1:06:35And my first two to three miles was me
- 1:06:39starting to u just be in an aerobic mode
- 1:06:42where I start to pull. This is a little
- 1:06:44bit scientific and running, but you
- 1:06:45start to pull from your your fat and
- 1:06:48your extra energy sources. You don't
- 1:06:50burn your immediate uh resources in your
- 1:06:52bloodstream. Because if you go anorobic
- 1:06:54too fast, you start off too fast. You
- 1:06:56draw from the resources that are there
- 1:06:58instantly and you're not pulling from
- 1:06:59your long distance resources which would
- 1:07:01be fat or or those kind of stoages
- 1:07:06in a marathon.
- 1:07:08If you think about our journey into be
- 1:07:12holy as I am holy,
- 1:07:15we are all in a marathon race.
- 1:07:18And some of you might be thinking, "Wow,
- 1:07:20Todd, maybe you're a little ahead of
- 1:07:22me." Actually, you're almost done with
- 1:07:24your race.
- 1:07:26You're bald. You're really close to your
- 1:07:28race. Paul, I said you finished. Paul
- 1:07:30said, "I finished. I am I am the good
- 1:07:32and faithful servant. I am coming to the
- 1:07:34end of my race." Todd, yep, you're
- 1:07:36definitely in a place of maturity.
- 1:07:38You're way out there in this marathon
- 1:07:39race. No, this is what it looks like in
- 1:07:41the spirit. In a marathon, we are all
- 1:07:44like five feet in. I might be six feet
- 1:07:48in.
- 1:07:51This is a long everlasting
- 1:07:55eternal journey to be like him.
- 1:08:00>> I just happen to have the microphone in
- 1:08:02my hand.
- 1:08:04>> That's why I'm one step ahead of you in
- 1:08:07a marathon
- 1:08:11because he is that great.
- 1:08:15It's going to take that much work in us.
- 1:08:19But it's not the work, it's the process
- 1:08:22>> of how much he loves us. This is what it
- 1:08:24says in Hebrews. Hebrews chapter 2 verse
- 1:08:2711. For both he that sanctifies Yeshua
- 1:08:30and they that are sanctified, us
- 1:08:34all are one.
- 1:08:39Because when he comes and sanctifies
- 1:08:41your temple, your body, he comes to
- 1:08:43dwell as one.
- 1:08:48For which cause he is not ashamed
- 1:08:53to call them brethren.
- 1:09:02He's not ashamed of us to the point
- 1:09:05where he bled and died for us.
- 1:09:09But we're ashamed of us
- 1:09:13and we're ashamed of his body.
- 1:09:20Where is that coming from?
- 1:09:24It's not coming from him.
- 1:09:26We're establishing some other throne in
- 1:09:30our lives. We are establishing some
- 1:09:33other altar in our lives.
- 1:09:36And we are cursing and like putting
- 1:09:38nasty graffiti all over our temples.
- 1:09:41That's what it looks like in the spirit
- 1:09:43realm.
- 1:09:47But he can clean this up really fast.
- 1:09:55I shared this at close this morning. I
- 1:09:57want to share this again
- 1:09:59because there's only one way that we
- 1:10:02become one.
- 1:10:06He's the only way.
- 1:10:09We can't
- 1:10:11um come together because our
- 1:10:13perspectives are too small. Just two
- 1:10:16people. Think about your spouse. You
- 1:10:18have different opinions. Shoot. I have a
- 1:10:21different opinion of myself yesterday
- 1:10:23than I do today. I have different
- 1:10:25thoughts in the 11 o'clock service than
- 1:10:27I do at the nine o'clock service. I
- 1:10:29can't even agree in one in a couple
- 1:10:31hours with myself.
- 1:10:35So when we journey with one another,
- 1:10:37this is what the challenge is within the
- 1:10:39body of Christ.
- 1:10:42My journey that I'm going through is the
- 1:10:45right one.
- 1:10:49I have been stuck in this place in the
- 1:10:52last couple months of the importance of
- 1:10:54his body.
- 1:10:56So now if I have a list,
- 1:10:59I'm talking with all of you and I ask
- 1:11:03you where your journey is right now. Oh,
- 1:11:05what's God speaking to you about? Oh,
- 1:11:07it's not you're not you're not getting
- 1:11:09you're not hearing about the body of
- 1:11:10Christ and love for one another. Well,
- 1:11:12let me tell you what what really you
- 1:11:14should be thinking about because you're
- 1:11:15not in the right place. You're thinking
- 1:11:17about something else.
- 1:11:20I'm judging his body with that attitude.
- 1:11:24I'm judging the body that died from my
- 1:11:27body.
- 1:11:31I see that all over Christianity. I had
- 1:11:34a firsthand experience. Poor poor Dan
- 1:11:37yesterday. He poor Dan. Dan was fine.
- 1:11:40Dan did a great job. But he was on
- 1:11:42stage. He really did. He was on stage
- 1:11:45with another leader in the body. And the
- 1:11:48other leader in the body inside of him
- 1:11:51could feel the need actually his his own
- 1:11:55unworthiness, his own identity
- 1:11:59and started to compete with Dan on stage
- 1:12:02because Dan's journey and where he's at
- 1:12:05is different than this guy's journey and
- 1:12:07where is he's at. We have two leaders
- 1:12:10that can't even come together.
- 1:12:13What's that all about? Again, that was
- 1:12:14not Dan. Dan did fabulous.
- 1:12:20and we're supposed to come alongside one
- 1:12:21another. Well, well, brother or sister,
- 1:12:24the reason that uh you're you're not
- 1:12:27getting success is because you're not
- 1:12:28praying enough. You got to pray like me.
- 1:12:33That sounds really simple and we we kind
- 1:12:35of think I know in bride we we're past
- 1:12:37all of that stuff, but that's the kind
- 1:12:40are we?
- 1:12:45But if I compare your prayer life to my
- 1:12:47prayer life, my prayer life is not
- 1:12:49perfect. It's not completely sanctified
- 1:12:52because I got some other stuff I'm
- 1:12:53working through because I might offer
- 1:12:55those prayers from a sanctified altar.
- 1:12:57And I do have a sanctified altar, but I
- 1:12:59got another little altar that I'm still
- 1:13:00trying to kick out that keeps coming up
- 1:13:03in my flesh. So now, why am I going to
- 1:13:06tell compare your journey with my
- 1:13:08journey when your journey for you might
- 1:13:10be perfect for you? because you're a
- 1:13:12totally different body part and you have
- 1:13:14a totally different call, but we're
- 1:13:16going in the same place and we're going
- 1:13:18to be connected.
- 1:13:20>> So therefore, I can't come together with
- 1:13:22you because I'm judging you based on my
- 1:13:24journey.
- 1:13:26This is how this works all the time with
- 1:13:28people.
- 1:13:30Well, I don't understand what Todd's
- 1:13:32saying,
- 1:13:34but I like Dan.
- 1:13:36I don't understand what Dan's saying,
- 1:13:38>> but I like Cody.
- 1:13:42I'm so glad Ed interrupts everybody
- 1:13:44because I really like what Ed said.
- 1:13:48This is why Paul said
- 1:13:50it's not about Paul or Apollos.
- 1:13:54It doesn't matter who plants our waters.
- 1:13:57It's Christ that brings the increase.
- 1:13:59Yeah.
- 1:14:06>> When you when when you fight and stress
- 1:14:10and strive with another person's journey
- 1:14:12in Christ, you are striving with Christ
- 1:14:15himself.
- 1:14:17>> We got to stop that.
- 1:14:21That only comes though
- 1:14:24if you're outwardly focused and you lift
- 1:14:27someone else's burdens above yours.
- 1:14:30That comes because you are so grounded
- 1:14:32in identity of yourself. You can be
- 1:14:35outwardly focused. So this is how
- 1:14:38outwardly focused God is.
- 1:14:42In those times, in this old times, in
- 1:14:45the scriptures, they would have a
- 1:14:47covenant.
- 1:14:50The occult still does this kind of stuff
- 1:14:52in very wicked ways.
- 1:14:55Some people might do it. It's always by
- 1:14:57blood.
- 1:15:00So he said,"Abraham,
- 1:15:04you're kind of questioning the fact that
- 1:15:06I told you that I will bless you and
- 1:15:09that I will make you a father of
- 1:15:10nations, and you're wondering, h how
- 1:15:14will this be?"
- 1:15:16And you don't have Isaac yet. So, I'm
- 1:15:19going to prove it to you. I'm going to
- 1:15:21seal this thing. I want you to lay out
- 1:15:24sacrifices on one side and sacrifices on
- 1:15:27another side because that's how your
- 1:15:29mind work. I'm going to meet you where
- 1:15:31your mind is and that is that's a
- 1:15:33covenant. So Abraham's like, "Yeah,
- 1:15:35let's do it. Now this is making sense. I
- 1:15:38can't just receive words. You blessed me
- 1:15:40in Genesis 12 with words, but I need to
- 1:15:42see it." All right. So God showed it to
- 1:15:46him. Lay out all these sacrifices. Now,
- 1:15:49the purpose of the sacrifices is when
- 1:15:52you and someone else walked through the
- 1:15:55pieces together, and it was typically
- 1:15:58over bread and wine with a covenant,
- 1:16:02that meant as you walked through that
- 1:16:04together that whoever broke that
- 1:16:07covenant was worthy of death. And you
- 1:16:10hear a lot of that in unholy oaths.
- 1:16:21I don't even want to declare those. You
- 1:16:24hear that in unholy oaths. They do that
- 1:16:27in masonic rituals, all kinds of stuff.
- 1:16:30So Abraham understood this and said,
- 1:16:33"Okay, we're going to walk this together
- 1:16:34because I can keep the covenant."
- 1:16:41All have sinned and fallen short of the
- 1:16:43glory of God.
- 1:16:45All all in this lifetime and all
- 1:16:48pademically have sinned and fallen short
- 1:16:50of the glory of God too.
- 1:16:55So Abraham sees this and is ready to go.
- 1:17:00God so loved us.
- 1:17:03He knew Abraham
- 1:17:05just like Adam,
- 1:17:08just like David would and everybody
- 1:17:11else. Peter, Paul, James,
- 1:17:16all of them would break the covenant.
- 1:17:20There's no way.
- 1:17:22So he puts him to sleep and father and
- 1:17:26son walk the pieces together.
- 1:17:29It says on behalf
- 1:17:32of Abraham.
- 1:17:34So a covenant is between two parties,
- 1:17:37but a promise is something else. A
- 1:17:40promise is you don't owe me anything.
- 1:17:43You don't have to do anything. I just
- 1:17:44give it to you. Here's a $100 for your
- 1:17:46pocket. That's a promise.
- 1:17:49Hey, would you go get me a coffee? I
- 1:17:52give you $100. That's a covenant. You do
- 1:17:54something, I do something.
- 1:17:57Man can't do anything with God. He's
- 1:18:00holy.
- 1:18:02So he puts Abraham to sleep and father
- 1:18:04and son walk it on behalf. And this is
- 1:18:06what father and son say to one another.
- 1:18:09You can see all of this in Isaiah 53.
- 1:18:12Son says, "Father, I will go as a man
- 1:18:19and I will die for them all
- 1:18:22because they're going to break the
- 1:18:23covenant, which means someone has to die
- 1:18:27to make this covenant work. And I will
- 1:18:29go and I will do it. And I will pour out
- 1:18:32my soul
- 1:18:35as the lamb of God." And that's why we
- 1:18:38worship the lamb of God. And that's why
- 1:18:39in Revelation, he's referred to almost
- 1:18:42every time except one as the lamb, not
- 1:18:44the lion. Because of the lamb of God,
- 1:18:46the soul of Yeshua that was poured out
- 1:18:48for us all.
- 1:18:51They said, "Father,
- 1:18:53I'm going to be in a place of vulnerable
- 1:18:55man.
- 1:18:58Please do not let the bulls of Bashan
- 1:19:02come against me."
- 1:19:06in that place of vulnerability. Do not
- 1:19:08let the dogs bite me,
- 1:19:13but I know that you will raise me from
- 1:19:16the pit." And the father said, "Okay,
- 1:19:19son, you have that part. I'll do this
- 1:19:21part.
- 1:19:23I'm going to raise you from the dead. I
- 1:19:25promise."
- 1:19:30So, the idea of loving one another is
- 1:19:33demonstrated
- 1:19:36in two ways here.
- 1:19:39God loving us to raise us from the dead
- 1:19:46and the son laying down his life for us.
- 1:19:51Two most powerful things,
- 1:19:54life and death.
- 1:19:57Which is why he conquered life and death
- 1:20:00and took their keys.
- 1:20:07That's love.
- 1:20:09There's nothing to fear.
- 1:20:11So, I'm going to close in prayer
- 1:20:14and I'm going to
- 1:20:17ask you
- 1:20:19if you agree with what I'm about to say.
- 1:20:24Heavenly Father, we thank you for love.
- 1:20:27We thank you that love comes from you
- 1:20:28and you alone. And there is no love like
- 1:20:33yours.
- 1:20:36For you said that we would be one as you
- 1:20:39and son are one and that we would be one
- 1:20:42in you.
- 1:20:43May we dwell in you and you in us.
- 1:20:47You are our beloved and we are yours. We
- 1:20:50are your people and you are our God.
- 1:20:59So I thank you for the sanctified
- 1:21:03garment of righteousness.
- 1:21:08And anyone that wants a clean garment of
- 1:21:12righteousness,
- 1:21:16say I do.
- 1:21:20Because what we're about to do now is to
- 1:21:22acknowledge
- 1:21:25what's going on at our altar, our
- 1:21:28temple,
- 1:21:29and the thrones established around us.
- 1:21:33But we have to do this as priests
- 1:21:35because that's a priestly function.
- 1:21:43So Jesus, we thank you for the blood
- 1:21:46that you have applied to us to sanctify
- 1:21:48our altars that all of our sacrifices of
- 1:21:51praise and worship and thanksgiving
- 1:21:53would be acceptable to you. We thank you
- 1:21:56that you have sanctified not only the
- 1:21:58altar of incense, the altar of the
- 1:22:02candlestick, the altar of all of our
- 1:22:04offerings, but we acknowledge that
- 1:22:07you've sanctified that and we continue
- 1:22:09to strive against you and build up false
- 1:22:12altars. Altars to the enemy, altars to
- 1:22:16ourselves, altars to things that are
- 1:22:18corrupt, that are just nonsense.
- 1:22:23And we ask that you would come and
- 1:22:25highlight those and remove those things
- 1:22:27that are unholy.
- 1:22:31And if you agree for that process, say,
- 1:22:33"I do."
- 1:22:37If you believe that the altar that he
- 1:22:40has established is sanctified
- 1:22:43by his blood, if you agree with that,
- 1:22:46say, "I do."
- 1:22:48So, Father, we thank you for a holy
- 1:22:51sanctified altar that all of our praise
- 1:22:53is going forward now. Our worship is
- 1:22:55going to be accelerated and blessed. Our
- 1:22:57prayers are going to be heard in greater
- 1:22:59power and force because it's coming from
- 1:23:01this altar. And Father, now I ask that
- 1:23:05you would show us our bodies, our
- 1:23:08temples.
- 1:23:18We thank you that you have sanctified
- 1:23:21our house so that you could dwell
- 1:23:23within. And we know that by your spirit.
- 1:23:25You testify to our spirit that you're
- 1:23:28dwelling there. So somehow someway
- 1:23:30there's something inside of our core
- 1:23:32being, our core temple that is
- 1:23:34sanctified. And if you believe that,
- 1:23:36say, "I do."
- 1:23:37>> I do.
- 1:23:44But Father, we repent from cursing our
- 1:23:48temples.
- 1:23:51We repent from doing add-ons
- 1:23:53that were not specified by you. We have
- 1:23:57added on
- 1:23:59temples of unholy things to the holy
- 1:24:04and we cut that off. We ask that you
- 1:24:06highlight it and start to remove it. I
- 1:24:08dispass dispatch angels of construction
- 1:24:12and demolition with battering rams and
- 1:24:15trucks and and and construction crews
- 1:24:18now for everyone interested, everyone
- 1:24:21that needs to have that unholy stuff
- 1:24:24removed so that he that is holy will
- 1:24:27dwell in a holy temple.
- 1:24:33And if you want any of those weapons of
- 1:24:36warfare for construction and demolition,
- 1:24:40say I do. So we loose that angelic host.
- 1:24:46Father, we also acknowledge
- 1:24:51that there are many thrones,
- 1:24:57but there's only one that's above all
- 1:24:59thrones. There's only one that really
- 1:25:01interests us.
- 1:25:04I pray for everyone here that there is
- 1:25:07no interest in a throne, in a power
- 1:25:12source, in an authority, in a heaven
- 1:25:16greater than yours.
- 1:25:28So we establish the throne of Malchited,
- 1:25:32the king of kings, the lord of lords,
- 1:25:35the great high priest, the glorified one
- 1:25:40over this house and over our houses.
- 1:25:44[Music]
- 1:25:46Do we agree?
- 1:25:54And I ask for the holy ones, the
- 1:25:59protectors of Israel,
- 1:26:01led by Michael and his human agents to
- 1:26:06come and start to administer
- 1:26:08deconstruction
- 1:26:10and removal of thrones of unholy ones
- 1:26:14that have been established in this house
- 1:26:17and are influencing our houses in all
- 1:26:19realms. homes and dimensions. There is
- 1:26:21no place to hide.
- 1:26:28We renounce anything that we received
- 1:26:31off of these thrones, powers, abilities,
- 1:26:34anointings, um, benefits, blessings, we
- 1:26:38throw it all away.
- 1:26:41We only want that which will withstand
- 1:26:44the consuming fire.
- 1:26:47So all those in favor of wanting
- 1:26:52Michael and allowing him and his human
- 1:26:54agents in the angelic host to dethrone
- 1:26:57that which should never in the first
- 1:26:58place been throned.
- 1:27:02>> Say I do.
- 1:27:04[Music]
- 1:27:11And lastly,
- 1:27:14we are so grateful for your name.
- 1:27:18I know this people. I know this body. I
- 1:27:21know they belong to you. I know they
- 1:27:23love your name.
- 1:27:37But I pray that your name
- 1:27:43will extend through all aspects of time
- 1:27:46in their lives.
- 1:27:50That your name would be declared
- 1:27:53during the night, during the day.
- 1:27:58I encourage and strengthen their spirits
- 1:28:00to pray without ceasing.
- 1:28:05I encourage and strengthen their spirits
- 1:28:07to in all things give thanks.
- 1:28:14And I encourage and strengthen their
- 1:28:17spirits to know
- 1:28:21that in Yeshua
- 1:28:24is always rejoicing.
- 1:28:28Always
- 1:28:35For my greatest prayer for all of you is
- 1:28:38that you would know his face and that
- 1:28:41you would know his voice
- 1:28:44because knowing him changes everything.
- 1:28:49So I bless everyone here. I bless this
- 1:28:52house. I bless the house that we are
- 1:28:55about to go into because we are the
- 1:28:58house and we are going to march into
- 1:28:59that place with your presence and with
- 1:29:02your name and with sanctified temples
- 1:29:03and sanctified altars and the worship is
- 1:29:06just going to explode and blow through
- 1:29:08the roof because you are worthy of all
- 1:29:11these things. We pray all this in
- 1:29:13Yeshua's name. Amen.
- 1:29:18[Applause]
