AMEN. 06:45 WE ARE GOING TO -- WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THE WORD OF GOD TONIGHT, 06:52 AND THE THEME OF THIS CAMP MEETING IS BASED ON REVIVALAL. 06:57 I BELIEVE WE ARE IN NEED OF REV 07:02 REVIVAL, HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE THAT? 07:04 I BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS COMING SOON. 07:08 HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE THERE? >> YES! 07:11 >> HOW MANY OF YO EXPERIENCE REVIVAL AND HOW CAN WE BE 07:16 PREPARED FOR THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST, SO I INVITE YOU 07:21 TO PRAY WITH ME. HEAVENLY FATHER, I WANT TO ASK 07:27 IN A SPECIAL WAY, LORD THAT YOU WILL TAKE THE MESSAGE THAT YOU 07:31 HAVE PUT UPON MY HEART, LORD, AND THAT YOU WILL SPEAK TO YOUR 07:36 PEOPLE. PLEASE, LORD, SET US ON FIRE. 07:39 SET OUR HEARTS BURNING IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY. 07:45 AMEN. I HAVE ENTITLED THE MESS AN 07:47 INFOR THIS EVENING, THE 11 ARE COMING. 07:51 THE 11 ARE COMING. I INVITE YOU TO OPEN YOUR BIBLES 07:57 WITH ME, TO REVELATION CHAPTER -10. AND TO SET THE FOUNDATION FOR 08:04 THE MESSAGE TONIGHT, REVELATION 10, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT 08:08 VERSES 9 TO 11. IN REVELATION 10:9-11, JOHN IS 08:17 ENVISIONED, AND HE SEE AN ANGEL COME TO HIM, AND THE ANGEL HAS 08:22 IN ITS HAND A LITTLE BOOK, AND I WANT YOU TO NOTICE WHAT THE 08:25 BIBLE SAYS. REVELATION 10:9. 08:29 THE BIBLE SAYS -- AND I WENT UNTO THE ANGEL AND HE SAID UNTO 08:35 ME, AND SAID UNTO HIM, GIVE ME THE LITTLE BOOK, AND HE SAID 08:41 UNTO ME, TAKE IT AND EAT IT UP, IT SHALL MAKE THE BELLY BITTER, 08:47 BUT IT SHALL BE IN THOU MOUTH SWEET AS HONEY. 08:54 AND I ATE IT UP, AND IT WAS IN MY MOUTH SWEET AS HONEY, AND AS 09:00 SOON AS I ATE IT, IT WAS BITTER -- MY BELLY WAS BITTER. 09:06 SO I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, IF I WERE TO OFFER YOU SOME KIND OF 09:10 FOOD AND TELL YOU THAT THE FOOD WOULD MAKE YOUR BITTER 09:16 BELLY -- YOUR -- [ LAUGHTER ] 09:19 >> -- YOUR BELLY BITTER, HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD GO AHEAD AND 09:26 EAT? WOULD ANYONE EAT? 09:28 NO, NO, NO. I WOULD FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT 09:31 TO EAT IF SOMEONE TOLD ME, YEAH, THIS IS GOING TO MAKE YOUR BELLY 09:38 BITTER. BUT THE -- THE TEXT WE JUST READ 09:40 SAID IT WOULD BE SWEET IN THE MOUTH. 09:43 HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE SWEET THINGS? 09:45 [ LAUGHTER ] >> LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU 09:47 THAT -- THAT WHAT -- WHAT JOHN IS BEING GIVEN HERE IS VERY 09:52 SIMPLY THE WORD OF GOD. AMEN? 09:55 IT'S THE WORD OF GOD. MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD 10:00 ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. 10:04 SO THIS WRITING IN THE BOOK IS SIMPLY THE WORD OF GOD. 10:09 BUBA HOW SWEET ARE MY WORDS TASTE SWEETER THAN HONEY TO MY 10:18 MOUTH. SO LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU THAT IN 10:21 THE BIBLE, BITTERNESS, SIMPLY POINTS TO BITTER EXPERIENCES, 10:27 DISAPPOINTMENTS. MAY I SUGGEST TO YOU THAT JOHN 10:29 WAS SO INTERESTED IN THE SWEETNESS OF THE WORD, THAT HE 10:34 WAS WILLING TO SUFFER THE BITTERNESS. 10:37 LET ME REPHRASE IT. WHAT IS IT THAT KEEPS US THROUGH 10:44 BITTER TIMES? IT'S THE WORD OF GOD. 10:48 AND SO WHY WHEN YOU BECOME A CHRISTIAN YOU OFTEN RUN INTO 10:52 THESE BITTER EXPERIENCES. BUT WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE 10:56 TONIGHT THAT IT IS THE SWEETNESS OF GOD'S WORD, THAT KEEPS US 11:00 EVEN IN BITTER TIMES. AMEN? 11:03 >> AMEN. >> SO I INVITE YOU TO TURN TO 11:07 LUKE CHAPTER 24, WHERE WE'RE ABOUT TO DISCOVER A BITTER 11:13 EXPERIENCE. LUKE 24. 11:15 AND LET ME GIVE YOU THE BACKDROP IN LUKE 24. 11:19 THE DISCIPLES HAVE JUST HAD A BITTER EXPERIENCE. 11:24 JESUS, THE ONE THAT THEY THOUGHT WAS THE MESSIAH, HAS BEEN DEAD 11:31 FOR THREE DAYS. AND I WANT YOU TO NOTICE LUKE 11:37 24:13 THE BIBLE SAYS AND BHOELD TWO OF THEM WENT TO A VILLAGE 11:42 WHICH WAS FROM JERUSALEM ABOUT THREE SCORE FURLONG, AND AS THEY 11:47 TALKED ABOUT THESE THINGS IT CAME TO PASS THAT WHILE THEY 11:51 COMMUNED TOGETHER AND REASONED, JESUS HIMSELF DREW NEAR AND WENT 11:55 WITH THEM. BUT THEIR EYES WERE HOLDEN SO 11:58 THAT THEY SHOULD NOT KNOW HIM. ALL RIGHT. 12:01 SO JESUS DRAWS NEAR. HE IS ALIVE, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW 12:06 IT. THEIR BIBLE SAYS THEIR EYES WERE 12:08 HOLDEN SO THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY HIM. 12:10 REMEMBER THEY HAD JUST GOT THROUGH A BITTER EXPERIENCE. 12:14 THE BIBLE GOES ON TO SAY THAT JESUS HAS HE DRAWS NEAR, HE SAID 12:20 TO THEM WHAT MANNER OF COMMUNICATION TO YOU HAVE YE TO 12:23 ONE ANOTHER. AND ONE ANSWERS TO HIM, AREN'T 12:28 THERE ONLY A STRANGER IN JERUSALEM AND HAS NOT KNOWN THE 12:33 THINGS THAT HAS COMPASS. AND JESUS SAYS WHAT THINGS? 12:38 AND THEY BEGIN TO TELL JESUS ALL OF THE REASONS THEY HAVE TO BE 12:43 DISCOURAGED. ANYONE OF YOU EVER DONE THAT? 12:46 ALL OF THE REASONS YOU HAVE TO BE BITTER? 12:49 AND THEN HOW MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS STORY? 12:52 IN THE STORY, JESUS SAID UNTO THEM TO, OH FOOLS TO BELIEVE ALL 12:58 THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN, OUGHT NOT CHRIST HAVE SUFFERED 13:03 THESE THINGS, AND TO DO WHAT? ENTER INTO HIS GLORY, HE 13:12 EXPOUKDED ALL OF THE THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF. 13:13 PAUSE FOR A MOMENT. LET'S SAY YOU DIED, AND IN SOME 13:18 MIRACULOUS WAY YOU CAME BACK TO LIFE. 13:19 YOU KNEW YOUR FAMILY WAS DISCOURAGED, WAS DEPRESSED, WAS 13:23 JUST HAVING A BITTER EXPERIENCE, WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST THING 13:27 THAT YOU WOULD DO? DON'T GET ANY CRAZY THOUGHTS? 13:31 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD 13:32 SIMPLY, IN ORDER TO GET YOUR FAMILY TO STOP BEING 13:36 DISCOURAGED, HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD SHOW YOURSELF AND SAY, 13:39 HERE I AM, I'M ALIVE? JESUS DOES NOT DO THAT. 13:44 WHAT HE DOES IN THE MIDST OF THEIR BITTER EXPERIENCE, HE 13:48 GIVES THEM A BIBLE STUDY. OH, YOU ARE NOT FEELING IT IN 13:55 HERE. [ LAUGHTER ] 13:55 >> HE GIVES THEM A BIBLE STUDY. THE BIBLE SAYS BEGINNING FROM 13:59 MOSES AND THE PROPHETS, HE EXPOUNDED ON ALL OF THE THINGS 14:05 CONCERNING HIMSELF. DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING? 14:08 HE WAS BREAKING BREAD. HE WAS BREAKING BREAD. 14:12 AND SO THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT -- THAT AS THEY HAVE THIS 14:16 STUDY, IN VERSE 30 IT CAME TO PASS AS HE SAT TO ATE WITH THEM 14:22 HE TOOK BREAD AND GAVE IT TO THEM. 14:24 REMEMBER HE WAS SAYING I HAVE TO GO, AND THEY WERE LIKE STAY WITH 14:27 US, AND THEN HE BREAKS BREAD, AND WHEN THE BREAKS BREAD THEIR 14:32 EYES WERE -- OPENED. AND THEY KNEW HIM. 14:34 THEY SAW HIM. THEY RECOGNIZED HIM. 14:37 AND THEN THEY SAID THESE WORDS IN VERSE 32. 14:42 DID NOT OUR HEART BURN WITHIN US, WHILE HE TALKED WITH US, AND 14:46 OPENED TO US THE SCRIPTURES THAT THESE DISCIPLES HAD WHAT I CALL 14:52 HEART BURN. [ LAUGHTER ] 14:54 >> THAT IS MY GOAL TONIGHT. AND OVER THESE NEXT FEW MEETINGS 15:02 TO GIVE YOU HEART BURN. WHEN DO YOU GET HEART BURN? 15:06 AFTER YOU EAT. [ LAUGHTER ] 15:09 >> YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S WHEN YOU GET HEART BURN AFTER YOU EAT. 15:14 SO IN VERSE -- LET'S GO DOWN TO VERSE 36. 15:18 IN FACT -- NO, LET'S GO TO VERSE 33. 15:21 AND THEY ROSE AT THE SAME HOUR AND RETURNED TO JERUSALEM, AND 15:26 FOUND THE 11 GATHERED TOGETHER. SO HOW MANY DID THEY JUST FIND? 15:35 11. THESE ARE THE 11 DISCIPLES, 15:38 BECAUSE ONE IS DEAD. WHO IS THAT? 15:43 JUDAS. SO THEN THE BIBLE SAYS THAT 15:45 JESUS APPEARED UNTO THEM. VERSE 36. 15:49 JESUS HIMSELF STOOD IN THE MIDST OF HIM AND SAID PEACE BE UNTO 15:54 YOU, AND THEN HE ASKED THEM FOR FOOD, AND THEN NOTICE VERSE 15:58 43 -- OR VERSE 45. LET'S GO TO VERSE 44. 16:04 HE SAID UNTO THEM, THESE ARE THE WORDS I SPOKE UNTO YOU, AND ALL 16:10 OF THESE THINGS WILL BE FULFILLED WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN 16:15 THE WRD OF MOW CUSS AND THE PROPHETS. 16:18 THEN HE OPENED THEIR UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY MIGHT 16:21 UNDERSTOOD THE SCRIPTURES. JESUS BREAKS THE BREAD OF LIFE 16:26 TO THE 11. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD A 16:28 BIBLE STUDY WHERE -- I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT HOW DEEP THIS 16:32 BIBLE STUDY MUST HAVE BEEN. IN THAT THE DISCIPLES AS THEY 16:36 ARE ON THE ROAD, THEY FORGET THAT THEY WERE DEPRESSED, THAT 16:41 THEY WERE DISCOURAGED. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD A 16:45 BIBLE STUDY THAT YOU DISCOVERED SOMETHING, AND YOU WERE SO 16:50 EXCITED THAT YOUR MIND JUST WENT LIKE WHAT? 16:54 ANYONE? I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE WHAT KIND 16:56 OF BIBLE STUDY THAT MUST HAVE BEEN. 16:58 AS JESUS BEGINS TO BREAK OPEN THE WORD OF GOD WITH HIMSELF AT 17:02 THE CENTER. YOU SEE, BELOVEDS, THE KEY TO 17:07 REVIVAL IS HEARTBURN. THE KEY TO REVIVAL, BELOVED, THE 17:15 DISCIPLES BEFORE THEY WENT TO THAT UPPER ROOM, THEY HAD -- HAD 17:19 AN EXPERIENCE WITH CHRIST WHERE CHRIST BEGAN TO OPEN THE 17:22 SCRIPTURES TO THEM, AND SHOW THEM THAT THE SCRIPTURES WERE 17:26 ALL ABOUT HIM. JESUS SAID SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES 17:30 FOR IN THEM YOU THINK YOU HAVE WHAT? 17:34 ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY WOULD TESTIFY OF ME. 17:37 HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER ALBUMS? REMEMBER THOSE THINGS? 17:41 ALBUMS. THE THINGS THAT USED TO HAVE 17:43 PICTURES IN THEM AND -- WE DON'T DO THAT TODAY, RIGHT. 17:48 ALBUMS. YOU EVER SEE A PICTURE THAT YOU 17:51 NEVER SAW BEFORE OF SOMEONE, AND IT KIND OF GAVE YOU A NEW INCITE 17:57 INTO YOUR GRANDMOTHER OR SOMEONE? 17:59 LISTEN TO ME, THE BIBLE IS GOD'S ALBUM OF HIS SON. 18:05 EVERY PAGE IS FULL OF PICTURES OF HIS SON. 18:10 AND AS YOU BEGIN TO STUDY FOR THE BIBLE LOOKING FOR JESUS IN 18:15 THE SCRIPTURES, SOMETHING BEGINS TO HAPPEN IN OUR HEARTS. 18:19 WE BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE HEARTBURN. 18:22 I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS STUDYING THE BIBLE ONCE, AND I'M LOOKING 18:26 AT THE STORY OF DAVID AT BATHSHEBA. 18:29 AND HE HAS URIAKILL -- KILLED. AND DAVID REPENTS, AND THE 18:43 PROPHET NATHAN SAYS, YOU HAVE SINNED, BUT YOUR SINS ARE 18:48 FORGIVEN. HOWEVER, YOUR CHILD IS GOING TO 18:52 DIE. ANYONE EVER READ THAT STORY? 18:55 AND THOUGHT HOW UNFAIR? BUT LISTEN TO THIS BELOVED, HERE 18:59 IS WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS CHILD OF DAVID. 19:02 NUMBER 1, IT WAS A BOY. SO LISTEN CAREFULLY, THE SON OF 19:09 DAVID, HAVING DONE NO WRNG. [ LAUGHTER ] 19:12 >> WHAT? YEAH, THE SON OF DAVID HAVING 19:16 DONE NO WRONG DIES THAT SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT LIVE. 19:21 DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? CHRIST IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES. 19:25 WHEN WE BEGIN TO SEE THE PICTURES OF CHRIST, SOMETHING 19:29 BEGINS TO HAPPEN IN OUR HEARTS. SO I -- WANT TO TAKE YOU BACK TO 19:36 THE BOOK OF GENESIS. GENESIS HAS SIX MAJOR FIGURES 19:41 VERYING. THE FIRST IS ADAM. 19:43 AND ADAM COVERS CHAPTERS 1 THROUGH ABOUT 5. 19:47 AND THEN NOAH COVERS FROM 6 TO ABOUT 11. 19:50 AND THEN YOU HAVE ABRAHAM, AND THEN WHO ELSE? 19:59 ISAAC. AND THEN WHO ELSE? 20:01 JACOB. AND THEN THE LOOK OF GENESIS 20:04 CLOSES WITH JOSEPH, YES? DO YOU KNOW ALL OF THESE PEOPLE 20:08 ARE FIGURES OF CHRIST? DO YOU KNOW THAT JUST LIKE ADAM, 20:11 THE FIRST ADAM WAS PUT TO SLEEP AND HIS SIDE WAS OPENED UP SO 20:17 THAT HIS BRIDE CAME OUT OF HIS SIDE.-JESUS WAS A SECOND ADAM WHO WAS 20:24 PUT TO SLEEP AND HIS SIDE OPENED UP AND HIS BRIDE CAME OUT OF HIS 20:29 SIDE, HIS BRIDE THE CHURCH. NOAH WAS LIFTED UP ABOVE THE 20:34 EARTH AND ALL MEN WERE DRAWN UNTO HIM. 20:38 [ LAUGHTER ] >> SO JESUS CHRIST WAS THE 20:39 SECOND NOAH WHO WAS LIFTED UP ABOVE THE EARTH SO THAT ALL MEN 20:44 WERE DRAWN UNTO HIM. DO YOU REALIZE THAT JUST AS 20:49 ABRAHAM LEFT HIS FATHER'S HOUSE TO GO OUT INTO A STRANGE LAND, 20:54 THAT JESUS LEFT HIS FATHER'S HOUSE TO GO OUT INTO A STRANGE 20:59 LAND. JUST AS ISAAC WAS GIVEN UP BY 21:01 THE FATHER AS A SACRIFICE, SO JESUS WAS GIVEN UP BY THE FATHER 21:08 AS A SACRIFICE. JUST AS JACOB GAINED THE 21:12 BIRTHRIGHT OVER HIS OLDER BROTHER, HIS TWIN WHO BY THE WAY 21:16 HAD SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHT FOR WHAT? 21:19 FOOD. DO YOU KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST 21:21 HAS A TWIN? YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT, DID YOU? 21:24 [ LAUGHTER ] >> JESUS IS THE SECOND ADAM. 21:28 OH, MAN. [ LAUGHTER ] 21:30 >> YEAH, THE FIRST ADAM WAS ALSO A SON OF GOD, BUT GUESS WHAT, HE 21:36 TOO SOLD HIS BIRTH RIGHT FOR FOOD. 21:40 [ LAUGHTER ] >> YES. 21:44 YES. YES. 21:46 AND BELOVED FINALLY, JUST AS JOSEPH WAS BETRAYED BY HIS OWN, 21:52 AND SOLD FOR SILVER, AND BETRAYED AND PUT IN PRISON FOR A 21:56 MAN HE DID NOT COMMIT, EVEN HE KNEW HE DID NOT COMMIT THAT 22:01 CRIME, AND HE ENDED UP BETWEEN A BUTLER AND A BAKER, TOO -- 22:07 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND JUST AS AT THE END OF 22:09 THREE DAYS, ONE WOULD BE SAVED AND THE OTHER LOST, SO JESUS 22:14 CHRIST THE SECOND JOSEPH. WHAT WAS BETRAYED BY HIS OWN. 22:20 SOLD FOR SILVER. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS KNOWN THAT HE 22:26 WAS INNOCENT, PLACED BETWEEN TWO THIEVES. 22:29 [ LAUGHTER ] CHRIST IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES. 22:36 WHEN WE BEGIN TO SEE CHRIST UNFOLDED IN THE SCRIPTURES, 22:40 SOMETHING BEGINS TO BURN IN OUR HEARTS. 22:42 WE BEGAN TO SAY, I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE THIS. 22:47 YOU HAVE PROBLEMS SHARING WITH PEOPLE? 22:49 WHAT SHOULD I SHARE WITH MY FRIEND WHO NEEDS -- LET ME TELL 22:53 YOU SOMETHING, WHEN YOU BEGIN TO FIND JESUS IN THE SCRIPTURES, 23:00 YOU TOO WILL SAY DID NOT OUR HEARTS BURN? 23:03 AND WHEN YOUR HEART IS BURNING, YOU CANNOT BE HELD BACK. 23:06 SO LET'S GO BACK TO THE BOOK -- OH, BY THE WAY. 23:10 OOOOOOOOOH. [ LAUGHTER ] 23:12 >> CHECK THIS OUT. BOOK OF GENESIS, RIGHT? 23:15 SAME GUYS, ADAM, AND THEN WHO? NOAH. 23:19 AND THEN? ABRAHAM. 23:23 AND THEN? ISAAC? 23:25 AND THEN? JACOB. 23:27 AND THEN JOSEPH. THE WHOLE BOOK OF GENESIS IS 23:32 ABOUT JESUS. ADAM REPRESENTS THE BEGINNING OF 23:37 CREATION, AMEN? YES. 23:39 NOAH REPRESENTS THE RESULT OF SIN. 23:41 THE STORY OF NOAH SHOWS WHAT THE RESULT OF SIN IS. 23:45 YOU PUT THOSE TWO STORIES TOGETHER AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE? 23:49 THE STORY EFFORT'S CREATION AND THE RESULT OF MAN KIND'S FALL. 23:54 AND THEN YOU HAVE ABRAHAM WHO BECAME THE FATHER OF A GREAT 23:58 NATION. WHAT IS THAT NATION? 24:00 ISRAEL. SO IF YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER, YOU 24:03 BASICALLY HAVE IN OUTLINE FORM THE WHOLE STORY OF THE OLD 24:07 TESTAMENT. YEAH? 24:09 WHO COMES AFTER ABRAHAM? ISAAC. 24:12 WHAT WAS THE BIG DEAL WITH ISAAC? 24:15 HE WAS THE ONE WHAT WAS ALMOST WHAT? 24:18 SACRIFICED. THAT IS POINTING SPECIFICALLY TO 24:22 WHO? JESUS. 24:23 IF YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER, YOU HAVE THE WHOLE STORY OF THE OLD 24:28 TESTAMENT IN SHALLOW FORM. BUT CHECK THIS OUT, WHO COMES 24:33 AFTER ISAAC. JACOB AFTER ISAW, HIS TWIN. 24:40 THE FIRST RIGHT BELONGED TO ISAU, BUT BECAUSE HE REJECTED IT 24:47 IT WENT TO JACOB. DO YOU KNOW IN THE NEW TESTAMENT 24:51 THERE IS A LITERAL ISAEL AND THEN A SPIRITUAL ISRAEL? 24:56 DO YOU REALIZE THAT THE LITERAL ISRAEL REJECTED ITS BIRTHRIGHT, 25:04 AND THEREFORE THE BIRTHRIGHT WENT TO THE YOUNGER TWIN? 25:08 OH! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. 25:12 [ LAUGHTER ] >> LOOK AT THIS. 25:13 WHO COMES AFTER JACOB? JACOB IS THE STORY OF THE NEW 25:19 TESTAMENT CHURCH. ARE YOU WITH ME FROM ADAM ALL 25:22 THE WAY TO JACOB IT TAKES US FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME ALL 25:26 THE WAY DOWN TO THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH. 25:29 NOW, NOW, NOW, COMES JOSEPH. REMEMBER THIS ABOUT JOSEPH. 25:34 JOSEPH HAD BEEN SENT AHEAD TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR HIS 25:39 BROTHERS. YEAH. 25:40 YOU ARE NOT FEELING ME. [ LAUGHTER ] 25:44 >> HEARTBURN SOMEBODY. [ LAUGHTER ] 25:46 >> BUT -- BUT -- BUT BEFORE THE BROTHERS COULD ENTER INTO THE 25:51 PLACE THAT HAD BEEN -- THAT JOSEPH HAD BEEN SENT AHEAD TO 25:56 PREPARE, BY THE WAY, THEY DIDN'T -- THE 11 -- YOU ARE NOT 26:05 FEELING ME. [ LAUGHTER ] 26:07 >> THE 11 DID NOT RECOGNIZE JOSEPH. 26:14 AND THEY WERE COMING, LOOKING FOR BREAD. 26:21 >> AH! >> OH, YEAH. 26:25 OH. OH! 26:30 WATCH THIS! BEFORE -- BEFORE JOSEPH NOW HE 26:34 SEES HIS BROTHERS, AND HE IS LIKE THESE ARE MY BROTHERS. 26:37 THESE ARE THE ONES THAT BETRAYED ME, THAT SOLD ME. 26:40 ALL RIGHT. IT LOOKS LIKE THE FATHER SENT ME 26:43 AHEAD TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR THEM, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO LET 26:46 THEM INTO THIS PLACE YET, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THEY 26:49 HAVE CHANGED. SO BEFORE THEY ENTER THIS PLACE, 26:52 I'M GOING TO INVESTIGATE -- YOU ARE NOW FEELING ME. 26:59 YOU ARE NOW FEELING ME! >> I'M GOING TO INVESTIGATE. 27:05 SO HOW DOES HE INVESTIGATE? HERE IS WHAT WE'LL DO. 27:10 LET'S SEE HOW THEY TREAT ONE ANOTHER. 27:14 [ LAUGHTER ] >> ALL RIGHT NOW! 27:16 >> I'M GOING TO TAKE ONE CAPTIVE JUST LIKE I WAS SOLD, AND LET'S 27:22 SEE HOW THEY RESPOND NOW. AND JOSEPH'S MAIN TEST WAS HOW 27:29 DO YOU TREAT -- DO YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER. 27:31 BECAUSE IF YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER, THEN I'LL KNOW THAT YOU CHANGED. 27:36 BELOVED LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, WE'RE IN THE JUDGMENT 27:38 TIME RIGHT NOW, AND THE HEAVENLY JOSEPH -- YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT 27:42 I'M SAYING? YEAH? 27:44 YEAH. THE HEAVENLY JOSEPH IS THERE 27:47 WATCHING TO SEE, LET'S SEE HOW YOU TREAT ONE ANOTHER. 27:49 BY THE WAY, THE MAIN PERSON JOSEPH WANTED TO KNOW HOW THEY 27:54 TREATED WAS WHO? BENJAMIN. 27:56 WHO WAS BENJAMIN? HE WAS THE LEAST OF THESE. 28:04 >> AH! [ LAUGHTER ] 28:04 [ APPLAUSE ] 28:10 >> OH, YEAH! HOW YOU TREAT THE LEAST OF THESE 28:15 IN SO MUCH -- YOU HAVE DONE IT UNTO WHO?-UNTO ME. 28:21 BENJAMIN'S NAME WHEN HIS MOTHER WAS CALLING, HIS MOTHER CALLED 28:27 HIM THE NAME MEANING SON OF SORROW. 28:30 BUT HIS FATHER SAID, NO, CALL HIM BENJAMIN, MEANING SON OF THE 28:35 RIGHT HAND. SO BENJAMIN HIMSELF WAS A TYPE 28:37 OF CHRIST. SO JOSEPH WAS SAYING, LISTEN, 28:40 HOW YOU TREAT BENJAMIN IS HOW YOU TREAT ME. 28:44 SO I'M KEEPING BENJAMIN CAPTIVE. LET'S SEE WHAT YOU DO. 28:49 AND WHEN THE BROTHERS SHOWED THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO LAY 28:52 THEIR LIVES DOWN FOR THE LEAST OF THESE, JOSEPH SAID, YOU ARE 28:57 READY, ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM. [ LAUGHTER ] 29:01 >> BELOVED LISTEN TO ME. GOD IS NOT LOOKING AT YOU TO ASK 29:05 YOU, IN THIS TEST, WHAT DO YOU KNOW? 29:09 I MEAN DON'T GET ME WRONG. YOU NEED TO KNOW. 29:13 BUT BELOVED LISTEN CAREFULLY, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU 29:18 KNOW, IT'S ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW, AND WHO YOU KNOW WILL REFLECT 29:22 UPON HOW YOU RESPOND, HOW YOU BEHAVE, HOW YOU TREAT ONE 29:27 ANOTHER. GREATER LOVE HAVE NO MAN THAN 29:29 WHEN HE LAY HIS LIFE DOWN FOR HIS FRIENDS. 29:35 BELOVED, I WANTED TO SWITCH GEARS HERE, BECAUSE THERE IS 29:38 SOMETHING ELSE I WANT TO SHOW YOU WITH THE STORY OF JOSEPH. 29:41 GO WITH ME TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS CHAPTER -- LET'S GO TO 29:47 GENESIS -- WE'LL GO TO CHAPTER 37. 29:52 GENESIS 37. AND OH, MAN, YOU MAY AS WELL 29:57 JUST GET EXCITED -- [ LAUGHTER ] 30:00 >> BECAUSE -- WOW. SO CHECK THIS OUT. 30:02 WHEN YOU ARE THERE, SAY YOU ARE THERE. 30:05 GENESIS 37:1. THE BIBLE SAYS AND JACOB DEALT 30:10 WITH IN THE LAND WHERE IN HIS FATHER WAS A STRANGER. 30:15 JOSEPH BEING 17 YEARS OLD WAS FEEDING THE FLOCK, AND THE LAD 30:20 WITH WAS THE SONS AND THE SONS OF HIS FATHER'S WIVES. 30:25 AND JOSEPH BROUGHT UNTO HIS FATHER THEIR EVIL REPORT. 30:28 NOT ONLY IS JOSEPH A TYPE OF -- OF JESUS, BUT WE'RE KIND 30:33 OF SWITCHING GEARS HERE A LITTLE BIT. 30:35 I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING -ELSE.

YOU WILL CATCH THIS IN A MOMENT. 31:48 VERSE 3. ISRAEL LOVED JOSEPH MORE THAN 31:50 ALL OF HIS CHILDREN BECAUSE HE WAS THE SON OF HIS OLD AGE. 31:54 SO JOSEPH WAS LIKE THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK. 31:57 THE OTHER BROTHERS HAD BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE. 32:06 WAIT. WAIT. 32:07 THE REASON WHY THEY DON'T LIKE JOSEPH IS BECAUSE HE KEEPS THE 32:13 COMMANDMENTS OF HIS FATHER. >> AMEN. 32:18 >> OH, MAN, YOU ARE NOT -- OH. [ LAUGHTER ] 32:23 >> CHECK THIS OUT. JOSEPH, ONE OF THE 12, SAME 32:27 FATHER, ALL OF THE BROTHERS HAD THE SAME FATHER, BUT DIFFERENT 32:31 MOTHERS. THEY ARE HIS BROTHERS FROM 32:33 ANOTHER MOTHER. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? 32:36 [ LAUGHTER ] >> THE BROTHERS -- RIGHT? 32:37 SO JOSEPH HAS BROTHERS FROM ANOTHER MOTHER, AND THESE 32:42 BROTHERS FROM ANOTHER MOTHER HATE HIM. 32:45 NUMBER 1, BECAUSE HE KEEPS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. 32:51 NUMBER 2 BECAUSE HE HAS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. 32:56 >> YOU ARE FEELING ME. YES, YES, YES. 33:01 JOSEPH TELLS THEM, I HAD A DREAM, AND IN THIS DREAM, THE 11 33:06 COME TO THE 1. OH, MAN. 33:09 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AMEN! 33:12 >> THE 11 COME -- SO THE 11 ARE LIKE WHAT? 33:16 US COME TO YOU? ARE YOU CRAZY? 33:21 ARE YOU MAD? AND THE BIBLE SAYS THEY HATED 33:24 HIM ALL THE MORE, AND SO -- AND SO ONE DAY -- ONE DAY THE FATHER 33:31 SENDS JOSEPH TO GO CHECK ON HIS BROTHERS. 33:35 WHO ARE FEEDING THE FLOCK. [ LAUGHTER ] 33:43 >> I'M SORRY. [ LAUGHTER ] 33:46 >> OH. OH! 33:47 AND THE RESPONSE WHEN JOSEPH -- WHEN JOSEPH GETS ON 33:50 THE SCENE, THE BROTHERS ARE LIKE, OH, HERE COMES THAT 33:54 DREAMER. HERE COMES THAT GUY THAT THINKS 33:56 HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT PROPHECY. WHO THINKS HE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS 34:01 IN THE FUTURE. WHO THINKS THAT WE ARE GOING TO 34:06 BRING OURSELVES TO HIM. AND THEY SAID LET'S GET RID OF 34:10 THAT DREAMER, AND SEE WHAT BECOMES OF HIS PROPHECIES. 34:15 NOW BELOVED LISTEN, JOSEPH, JOSEPH JUST -- JUST LOVES HIS 34:19 BROTHERS. HEY BROTHERS! 34:20 [ LAUGHTER ] >> HERE I AM! 34:23 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND -- AND GOD HAS SHOWN ME 34:28 THIS -- BUT HIS BROTHERS RRNTH EXCITED ABOUT WHAT HE IS TELLING 34:34 THEM. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU -- YOU GUYS 34:35 LOOK EXCITED. [ LAUGHTER ] 34:37 >> LIKE YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE WHILE I'M 34:40 PREACHING. [ LAUGHTER ] 34:41 >> AND SO -- AND SO THEY HATE HIM NUMBER 1 BECAUSE HE -- HE 34:45 KEEPS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND NUMBER 2, BECAUSE HE HAS THE 34:50 SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. SO -- SO THEY ARE FEEDING THE 34:55 FATHER'S FLOCK. AND THE FATHER SAYS JOSEPH I'M 34:59 CONCERNED ABOUT MY OTHER SONS AND THE FLOCKS THEY ARE FEEDING, 35:02 JOSEPH GO CHECK ON THEM. AND WHEN JOSEPH GOES TO CHECK ON 35:06 THEM. THEY CATCH HIM AND THEY RIP HIS 35:11 GARMENT OFF, AND THEY SAY YOU ARE NOT ONE OF US. 35:16 WE'RE GOING TO GET RID OF YOU. WE'RE GOING TO SEPARATE YOU FROM 35:20 THE FATHER. NO, NO, NO. 35:22 YOU ARE OUT OF HERE. OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND. 35:25 AND THEN THEY SAY, LET US SEE WHAT BECOMES OF HIS PROPHECY 35:31 NOW. ARE YOU -- 35:33 [ LAUGHTER ] >> ANYBODY? 35:34 [ LAUGHTER ] >> SO -- SO -- SO JOSEPH GOES 35:38 AWAY. HE IS SOLD. 35:39 HE IS SOLD. AND -- AND YOU SEE BELOVED THE 35:44 PARALLEL IS REALLY QUITE AMAZING. 35:47 BECAUSE YOU SEE, GOD HAS CHILDREN EVERYWHERE. 35:52 >> AMEN! >> AMEN! 35:54 >> BUT -- BUT HE HAS A SPECIAL CHILD. 35:58 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND -- AND THIS SPECIAL 36:01 CHILD -- SEE HIS CHILDREN ALL HAVE THE SAME FATHER, BUT -- BUT 36:06 UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE DIFFERENT MOTHERS THAT ARE 36:08 INVOLVED, BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO WOMEN DESCRIBED IN THE BOOK OF 36:12 REVELATION, ONE IS THE TRUE CHURCH, AND ONE IS THE 36:16 COUNTERFEIT CHURCH. NONETHELESS THEY ALL HAVE THE 36:19 SAME FATHER. BECAUSE THERE ARE GENUINE PEOPLE 36:21 IN SOME OF THESE -- IN MANY OF THESE OTHER CHURCHES. 36:28 AND GOD CALLED HIS PEOPLE UPON THE SCENE, SPECIFICALLY IN THE 36:32 YEAR 1844. GO CHECK ON YOUR BROTHERS. 36:36 >> AMEN! >> I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS 36:38 HAPPENING WITH THE FLOCK. GO CHECK ON YOUR BROTHERS. 36:42 BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE, THE REPORT WAS, OH DAD, YOU WON'T 36:45 BELIEVE WHAT IS HAPPENING. FATHER THEY ARE NOT REALLY 36:49 FEEDING THE FLOCK. AND THE BROTHERS SAY, OH, YEAH? 36:53 YEAH, NO, NO, NO. YOU ARE NOT ONE OF US. 36:57 AND BY THE WAY, WHAT HAPPENED TO JESUS IS COMING. 37:02 OH, YEAH, I THOUGHT SO. LET'S SEE WHAT BECOMES OF YOUR 37:06 PROPHECIES NOW. JOSEPH -- JOSEPH'S PROPHECY 37:11 APPARENTLY FAILED. OH, YEAH, HOW ARE WE GOING TO 37:14 BOW DOWN BEFORE HIM NOW WHEN HE IS ALL THE WAY IN EGYPT. 37:20 SO GOD'S PEOPLE EXPERIENCED A BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT. 37:24 A BOOK HAD BEEN EATEN THAT MADE THE BELLY BITTER, BUT IT WAS 37:29 SWEET IN THE MOUTH. HERE IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL 37:32 YOU -- ONE OF THE THINGS I'M TRYING TO TELL YO IS THIS, WHAT 37:36 KEEPS GOD'S PEOPLE IN THIS TIME OF DISCOURAGEMENT IS THE 37:40 SWEETNESS OF THE WORD. WHAT IS TO KEEP GOD'S CHURCH IN 37:46 THIS TIME OF TRIAL IS THE SWEETNESS OF GOD'S WORD. 37:49 JUST AS JOSEPH, AS HE HAD GONE INTO THIS BITTER EXPERIENCE, THE 37:53 ONLY THING THAT KEPT HIM WAS THE -- THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE 37:59 PROPHECY THAT HE HAD BEEN GIVEN. >> AMEN. 38:05 >> SO WHAT IS JOSEPH DOING WHILE HE IS -- WHAT IS JOSEPH GOING 38:12 THROUGH? MAY I SHARE WITH YOU? 38:13 >> YES >> ARE YOU READY? 38:17 WHO TWO -- TWO THINGS. THING NUMBER 1. 38:22 JOSEPH . . . IS OVERCOMING -- AMEN. 38:36 >> -- A HARLET. YOU ARE NOT FEELING ME. 38:42 YES, A WOMAN IS TRYING TO -- TO GET JOSEPH TO -- TO -- TO LIE 38:46 WITH HER. BUT JOSEPH REFUSES TO LIE WITH 38:50 THE HARLET. HE REFUSES TO BE CORRUPTED BY 38:53 THE HARLET. VERY INTERESTING. 38:56 IT REMINDS ME OF MYSTERY BABYLON. 39:00 MOTHER OF ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 39:03 JOSEPH IS REMAINING FAITHFUL. HE IS OVERCOMING. 39:06 AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR GOD FOR JOSEPH TO OVERCOME, BECAUSE GOD 39:10 IS PREPARING JOSEPH FO SOMETHING HUGE. 39:13 YOU SEE NOT ONLY IS JOSEPH OVERCOMING THE HARLET, BUT THEN 39:19 GOD DOES SOMETHING. YOU REMEMBER. 39:28 PHARAOH HAS A DREAM. AND HE SEES SEVEN EARS OF 39:34 HEALTHY CORN, AND SEVEN SCRAWNY EARS OF CORN, AND IN THIS DREAM, 39:41 THE SEVEN EARS OF SCRAWNY CORN DEVOWER THE HEALTHY CORN. 39:55 SO THEY CALL JOSEPH, AND JOSEPH SAYS THIS IS THE DREAM, THERE IS 39:59 A TIME OF PLENTY THAT IS GOING TO BE FOLLOWED BY A TIME OF 40:05 FAMINE. HERE IS WHAT YOU MUST DO, GATHER 40:09 BREAD. NO, NO, YOU DIDN'T MEAN THAT. 40:15 GATHER BREAD. WHY? 40:17 WHY? WHY JOSEPH? 40:19 WHY SHOULD WE GATHER BREAD? >> BECAUSE A FAMINE IS COMING. 40:24 NO. NO. 40:25 NO. [ LAUGHTER ] 40:27 >> SO PHARAOH SAYS JOSEPH, I'M PUTTING YOU IN CHARGE OF 40:34 GATHERING BREAD. JOSEPH'S JOB NOW IN THE TIME OF 40:37 PLENTY IS TO GATHER BREAD. KEEP GATHERING BREAD. 40:41 AND MORE GRADE. AND MORE BREAD. 40:44 WHY, JOSEPH? WHY HAS GOD PREPARED YOU TO 40:47 GATHER BREAD? WHY? 40:48 BECAUSE THE 11 ARE COMING. >> AMEN! 40:51 >> OH, NO. NO. 40:54 NO. HUH-UH. 40:58 WHO ARE THESE 11? THE 11, THOSE WHO BETRAYED. 41:03 THOSE WHO -- WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE NO GOOD. 41:06 THOSE WHO TOLD YOU WEREN'T REALLY GOD'S CHILD. 41:09 THOSE WHO SAID YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING 41:13 ABOUT. THOSE WHO SAID LET US SEE WHAT 41:15 BECOMES OF YOUR PROPHECY NOW. THE 11 ARE COMING. 41:19 A FAMINE IS GOING TO HAPPEN. YOUR BROTHERS FROM ANOTHER 41:23 MOTHER ARE GOING TO BE COMING. AND WHEN THEY COME, JOSEPH, I 41:29 WANT YOU TO BE READY TO FEED THEM. 41:35 [ LAUGHTER ] >> A BITTER TIME IS COMING FOR 41:41 YOUR BROTHER. AND FOR YOU. 41:43 SO JOSEPH, IN THE TIME OF PLENTY, WHILE THINGS ARE GOOD, 41:49 PLEASE GATHER BREAD. YEAH, YOU KNOW. 41:51 BUT I'M SO BUSY RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, I DONE REALLY HAVE 42:01 TIME TO GATHER BREAD, LORD. THE PASTOR GATHERS BREAD. 42:04 IN THAT WILL WORK, WILL IT NOT? NO, NO, NO, JOSEPH LISTEN. 42:09 YOU HAVE GOT TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING. 42:11 YOU SEE, JOSEPH, I KNOW THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE MY 42:15 FAVORITE, AND YOU ARE. I LOVE YOU. 42:17 BUT I LOVE YOUR BROTHERS TOO. AND THE REASON THAT I'M ALLOWING 42:21 YOU TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS, JOSEPH IS NOT BECAUSE I'M 42:25 WORRIED ABOUT YOU, IT'S BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS, 42:28 SO I NEED TO DO WHATEVER I CAN TO SAVE THEM, AND THEREFORE, 42:32 JOSEPH, I AM USING YOU, NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FAVORITE, BUT 42:36 BECAUSE I LOVE THE OTHER BROTHERS. 42:39 I LOVE MY OTHER CHILDREN, AND JOSEPH, YOU ARE THE ONLY AVENUE. 42:42 YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS OBEDIENT TO ME. 42:48 YOU ARE THE ONE THAT I CAN USE TO REACH THEM. 42:51 SO JOSEPH, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IN TIME OF 42:57 PLENTY, I NEED YOU TO GATHER BREAD. 43:00 BECAUSE JOSEPH IF YOU ARE NOT GATHERING BREAD IN TIME OF 43:04 PLENTY, YOU ARE BETRAYING THE TRUST I HAVE PUT UPON YOU. 43:07 I AM ALLOWING YOU TO GO THROUGH TRIALS. 43:11 I'M ALLOWING YOU TO GO THROUGH CONFLICT. 43:14 WHY? BECAUSE I'M PREPARING YOU TO BE 43:19 MY BREAD GATHERER. SO THAT WHEN YOUR BROTHERS FROM 43:23 ANOTHER MOTHER COME TO YOU, YOU'LL BE READY. 43:27 >> THAT'S RIGHT! >> TO GIVE THEM BREAD. 43:31 NO MATTER HOW OFTEN HAVE WE HAD THOSE EXPERIENCES WHERE ONE OF 43:35 OUR BROTHERS FROM ANOTHER MOTHER CAME TO US -- I WAS JUST TALKING 43:39 TO SOMEONE JUST BEFORE THIS PRESENTATION. 43:43 PASTOR, WHAT SHOULD I SAY IF I ONLY HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO SPEAK? 43:47 HOW MANY OF US WISH THAT WE HAD AT THAT MOMENT, SOME BREAD TO 43:52 GIVE? >> AMEN. 43:53 >> AMEN. >> AND I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS 43:56 THE CASE FOR EVERYONE, BUT HOW OFTEN DO WE FIND OURSELVES 44:01 SPEECHLESS? WHY? 44:02 BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T BEEN GATHERING BREAD. 44:07 BELOVED LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THESE WORDS. 44:11 YOU ARE JOSEPH. NO. 44:15 NO.-NO. YOU ARE JOSEPH. 44:19 GOD HAS CALLED YOU FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. 44:25 WHY? BECAUSE ACCORDING TO AMOS 44:29 8:10-11, A FAMINE IS COMING, NOT A FAMINE FOR BREAD, NOR A THRUST 44:35 FOR WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD. 44:40 BELOVED OUR BROTHERS FROM ANOTHER MOTHER MAY BE LAUGHING 44:45 AT US, SAYING, YEH, LET'S SEE WHAT BECOMES OF YOUR PROPHECY. 44:50 A SUNDAY LAW? HA! 44:53 JOSEPH MAY HAVE EVEN BEEN TEMPTED TO THINK, HOW CAN THESE 44:56 COME TO PASS NOW? NOTHING IS PANNING OUT THOUGH 44:59 WAY THAT THE VISION SAID. HOW OFTEN ARE WE TEMPTED TO 45:03 THINK, WE DON'T SEE IT HAPPENING THAT WAY. 45:06 CAN IT REALLY COME TO PASS?-WILL IT REALLY HAPPEN? BELOVED, LISTEN TO ME, IT WILL 45:13 REALLY HAPPEN. GOD'S WORD WILL COME TO PASS. 45:21 SO WHY IS GOD ALLOWING JOSEPH TO GO THROUGH THIS? 45:25 YOU SEE, BELOVED IN ORDER FOR JOSEPH -- LISTEN CAREFULLY. 45:30 LISTEN TO WHAT GOD IS CALLING JOSEPH TO DO. 45:33 GOD IS CALLING JOSEPH TO FEED HIS ENEMIES. 45:37 >> AMEN. >> IF YOUR ENEMY HUNGER, FEED 45:43 HIM. BUT IN ORDER FOR US TO GET TO 45:45 THAT PLACE, WE HAVE TO BECOME LIKE JESUS. 45:50 SO YOU KNOW WHAT GOD DOES? GOD -- CHECK THIS OUT -- GOD HAS 45:56 JOSEPH TO WALK THROUGH THE STEPS OF JESUS. 46:04 JOSEPH IS THE FATHER'S FAVORITE. BETRAITED BY HIS BRETHREN, SOLD 46:10 FOR SILVER, DESCENDS INTO A PIT AND THEN BECOMES THE SECOND IN 46:16 COMMAND IN EGYPT. [ LAUGHTER ] 46:18 >> AMEN! >> GOD ALLOWS JOSEPH TO WALK 46:25 THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE OF JESUS. WHY? 46:31 BECAUSE BY BEHOLDING JESUS, YOU BECOME -- CHANGE. 46:34 LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING. THE REASON WHY GOD WANTS US TO 46:38 GO BACK TO THE BIBLE -- I BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS THE 46:42 BEGINNING OF ALL REVIVAL. LISTEN, WE THINK THE DISCIPLES 46:48 WERE SAD AND THEN THEY WENT TO THE UPPER ROOM, AND THEN THEY 46:51 PRAYED AND GOT HAPPY. NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED. 46:56 FOR 40 DAYS BEFORE THAT, JESUS WAS GIVING THEM HEARTBURN. 47:00 >> THAT'S RIGHT! >> SO WHEN THEY GOT TO THE UPPER 47:03 ROOM, THEY WERE ALREADY ON FIRE. YEAH! 47:08 [ LAUGHTER ] >> THEY WERE ALREADY THERE. 47:13 IT WAS THE RESULT OF JESUS IN THE BIBLE. 47:16 SO BELOVED LISTEN, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE GLORY OF CHRIST 47:20 IS -- THE GLORY OF GOD IS IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST. 47:25 AMEN? AND THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST IS 47:27 FOUND IN THE BIBLE. AMEN? 47:29 AND IF I WANT TO BEHOLD JESUS, IF I WANT TO SEE JESUS, I HAVE 47:33 GOT TO SEE HIM WHERE? IN THE BIBLE. 47:36 THAT MEANS BY BEHOLDING, I BECOME CHANGED. 47:40 THE MORE I BEHOLD CHRIST'S FACE, WHEN MY FACE BEHOLDS HIS FACE, 47:45 MY FACE TURNS INTO THE GLORY OF GOD. 47:48 IT REFLECTS THE GLORY OF GOD. CHRIST'S FACE IS IN THIS BOOK. 47:55 SO MY FACE IN THE BOOK -- [ LAUGHTER ] 48:03 >> I HAVE TO HAVE MY FACE IN THE BOOK, FACE, BOOK! 48:10 [ LAUGHTER ] >> FACE, BOOK! 48:16 AND THE MORE THAT I FACE, BOOK -- 48:20 [ LAUGHTER ] >> IS THE MORE THE GLORY OF GOD 48:25 WILL BE SEEN UPON ME. >> AMEN! 48:28 >> BY BEHOLING HIS GLORY, MY FACE LIGHTENS UP WITH THT SAME 48:34 GLORY. BY THE WAY, BELOVED, THE FIRST 48:38 ANGEL'S MESSAGE IS FEAR GOD AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM. 48:41 BUT YOU CANNOT GIVE WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE. 48:43 >> AMEN! >> I HAVE GOT TO PUT MYFACE IN 48:52 THE BOOK. AND WHEN I BEGIN TO BEHOLD 48:54 CHRIST IN ALL OF THE SCRIPTURES, IN ALL OF THE STORIES, 48:58 REMEMBERING THAT THESE STORIES ARE SIMPLY LIKE CAMERAS TAKING 49:04 PICTURES OF JESUS CHRIST, SOMETHING BEGINS TO HAPPEN IN MY 49:09 HEART. DID NOT MY HEART BURN WHEN I 49:11 OPENED UP THE SCRIPTURE AND CHRIST SHOWED ME HIMSELF IN THIS 49:15 STORY THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, AND THROUGH THAT I GET A 49:21 GLIMPSE OF A PART OF CHRIST THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. 49:24 DID NOT OUR HEARTS BURN? SO BELOVED WHEN I'M BEHOLDING 49:33 THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND HIS GLORY IS BECOMING ME, THEN I CAN 49:38 GO OUT AND REFLECT HIS IMAGE. >> AMEN! 49:41 >> AMEN! >> WE HAVE BROTHERS FROM ANOTHER 49:45 MOTHER WHO ARE HUNGERING FOR THE WORD OF GOD RIGHT NOW. 49:48 THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO COME AND SAY, HEY, FEED ME! 49:52 >> YES! >> SHOW ME! 49:57 I JUST SPOKE IN THE CHURCH. I WAS INVITED TO SPEAK IN A 50:03 NON-DENOMINATIONAL CHURCH. AND YOU KNOW WHA I SHARED WITH 50:05 THEM? I SAID JESUS IN ALL OF THE 50:08 SCRIPTURES. AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, 50:10 OH, MAN, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. 50:15 NO MENTION OF ANYTHING BUT JESUS IN ALL OF THE STORIES OF THE 50:20 BIBLE, AND THE RESPONSE WAS GIVE US MORE. 50:25 >> AMEN! >> HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THIS 50:28 BETTER. HELP US TO UNDERSTAND HOW -- HOW 50:32 WE CAN STUDY THE BIBLE LIKE THIS. 50:39 BELOVED LET ME TELL YOU WHEN WE START LIFTING CHRIST UP IN ALL 50:43 OF THE SCRIPTURES, AND MAKING CHRIS THE CENTER OF THE ANGEL'S 50:48 MESSAGES, WHEN WE START MAKING CHRIST THE CENTER OF THE 50:51 SABBATH, THE CENTER OF HELL FIRE, WHEN HE START MAKING 50:55 CHRIST THE CENTER, I'M TELLING YOU, ALL MEN WILL BE DAWN UNTO 50:59 HIM BECAUSE HE WILL BE LIFTED UP. 51:02 >> AMEN! >> BUT NOT ONLY DOES GOD WANT US 51:04 TO -- TO -- TO -- TO SEE HIM IN THE SCRIPTURES AND TO EXPERIENCE 51:09 THE WORD OF GOD BECAUSE IT WILL HELP US TO REFLECT HIS GLORY, 51:12 BUT HERE IS THE FINAL THING. GOD WANTS US TO EXPERIENCE HIS 51:17 WORD, BECAUSE IT IS HIS WORD THAT WILL KEEP US IN HARD TIMES. 51:21 >> AMEN! >> BELOVED, LISTEN TO ME, BITTER 51:26 TIMES ARE COMING. AND IF WE DON'T HAVE THE 51:30 HONEY -- >> AMEN! 51:34 >> -- WHEN TROUBLESOME TIMES HIT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT, 51:40 BECAUSE IT IS ONLY THE WORD OF GOD THAT WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP US 51:44 IN THOSE BITTER TIMES. >> AMEN! 51:48 >> YES! >> BELOVED WHAT ARE YOU DOING 51:51 WITH YOUR TIME? ARE YOU GATHERING THE WORD OF 51:55 GOD WHILE WE ARE LIVING IN A TIME OF PLENTY? 51:59 OR ARE YOU WAITING FOR THE FAMINE TO HIT? 52:03 BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO START GATHERING? 52:06 BECAUSE IF YOU WAIT UNTIL THE FAMINE HITS TO START GATHERING, 52:12 IT WILL BE TOO LATE! >> AMEN! 52:14 >> AND THE BITTER EXPERIENCE WILL BE TOO GREAT OF AN 52:20 EXPERIENCE FOR YOU TO OVERCOME IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH. 52:31 HONEY. SWEET AS HONEY. 52:38 EVERYONE KNOWS HOW HONEY -- WHERE DOES HONEY COME 52:42 FROM ANYWAY? >> BEES. 52:44 >> AH, VERY GOOD. BEES. 52:47 BEES. ANYONE KNOW HOW BEES MAKE HONEY? 52:57 YEAH, CAN I TELL YOU IN OH, CAN I TELL YOU! 53:01 [ LAUGHTER ] >> YOU SEE BELOVED LISTEN, BEES 53:05 LOOK AHEAD. THEY KNOW THAT A TIME IS COMING, 53:11 WINTERTIME; THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND GET FOOD, 53:14 SO WHAT THEY DO IS BEFORE WINTER HITS, THEY -- THEY ARE OUT AND 53:20 THEY ARE GOING TO THE FLOWERS, AND THEY TAKE IN NECTAR. 53:28 NECTAR HAS 80% WATER. WHAT THE BEES DO WITH THE 53:32 NECTAR, IS THEY WILL DIGEST THE NECTAR AND THEN REGURGITATE IT, 53:38 AND THEN TAKE IT IN AGAIN, AND REGURGITATE IT, AND WHAT HAPPENS 53:42 EVERY TIME THEY DO THIS, THEY ARE GETTING RID OF THE WATER 53:48 ELEMENT OF THE NECTAR UNTIL IT BECOMES HONEY. 53:51 BY THE TIME IT BECOMES HONEY, THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 10 TO 15% 53:55 WATER IN IT, SO THE HONEY IS LIKE NECTAR IS WATERED DOWN. 54:04 HONEY IS SOLID. >> YEAH! 54:07 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BELOVED LISTEN TO ME. 54:12 MANY OF US READ THE BIBLE AND ALL WE'RE GETING OUT OF IT IS 54:16 NECTAR. YEAH! 54:21 YOU KNOW, 80% WATER, AND A LITTLE BIT OF SWEETNESS. 54:24 YEAH, THAT WAS OKAY. [ LAUGHTER ] 54:27 >> UH-HUH. [ LAUGHTER ] 54:29 >> BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM. WHEN WINTER HITS, NECTAR IS NO 54:35 GOOD. >> AMEN! 54:37 >> YOU NEED HONEY! >> YES! 54:39 >> BELOVED LISTEN TO ME, IN THE BIBLE -- 54:43 [ LAUGHTER ] >> -- IT LOOKS LIKE NECTAR. 54:46 BUT UNLESS YOU EAT IT, AND STEP BACK -- LET ME EAT IT AGAIN, AND 54:50 EAT IT AGAIN. AND STEP BACK, I KNOW I READ 54:52 THIS BEFORE, I'M GOING TO READ IT AGAIN. 54:55 AND THE MORE YOU READ, AND THE MORE YOU LOOK FOR CHRIST IN THE 54:58 SCRIPTURE IS THE MORE YOU CONVERT NECTAR TO HONEY. 55:02 >> AMEN! >> WHOO! 55:06 BY THE WAY DO YOU KNOW WHAT MANNA IS? 55:11 IT WAS BREAD THAT TASTED LIKE HONEY. 55:18 BELOVED LISTEN TO ME. YOU CANNOT SURVIVE ON NECTAR. 55:23 YOU CANNOT EXPECT REVIVAL ON NECTAR. 55:29 YOU MUST FIND JESUS IN THE SCRIPTURES. 55:34 >> AMEN. >> HE IS THE CENTER OF THE BOOK. 55:38 AND JUST LIKE THOSE DESIMPLES, THE 11 THAT -- THAT FOUND JESUS 55:43 THE 11 ARE COMING. BUT BELOVED THEY ARE DOING 55:47 BECAUSE THEY ARE HUNGRY AND THIRSTY AFTER TRUTH, AND WE AS A 55:52 PEOPLE WHO WERE AT ONE TIME KNOWN AS PEOPLE OF THE BOOK, 55:59 MUST AGAIN BECOME PEOPLE OF THE BOOK. 56:01 >> AMEN! >> AMEN! 56:04 >> AND NOT JUST SO WE CAN PROVE THIS OR PROVE THAT, BUT SO THAT 56:09 WE CAN SHOW CHRIST AS THE CENTER OF ALL OF THE SCRIPTURES. 56:12 >> AMEN! >> BELOVED YOU ARE JOSEPH. 56:16 I AM JOSEPH. WE ARE LIVING TODAY IN A TIME OF 56:21 PLENTY. IT'S TIME TO GATHER THE HONEY. 56:24 IT'S TIME TO GATHER THE BREAD. BECAUSE A FAMINE IS DOING, AND 56:29 WHEN THAT FAMINE HITS, IT WILL BE TOO LATE. 56:34 I PROMISE YOU THIS. WHEN YOU BEGIN TO LOOK FOR 56:37 CHRIST IN ALL OF THE SCRIPTURES, YOU WILL BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE 56:45 HEARTBURN. >> AMEN! 56:46 >> HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE HEARTBURN? 56:49 >> AMEN! >> LET US PRAY.-pHEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU 56:57 DEAR JESUS FOR REVEALING YOURSELF IN THE SCRIPTURES. 57:04 LORD, WE KNOW THAT A JUDGMENT IS GOING ON NOW; THAT YOU ARE 57:08 LOOKING DOWN TO SEE TWO THINGS, WHETHER YOUR PEOPLE ARE 57:12 GATHERING BREAD, AND HOW WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER. 57:16 LORD, YOU HAVE ASKED US TO FEED OUR ENEMIES BECAUSE THEY ARE 57:24 REALLY OUR BROTHERS. LORD EQUIP US, EMPOWER US WITH 57:29 YOUR WORD, HELP US OPEN OUR EYES THAT WE MAY BEHOLD YOU, AND THAT 57:34 YOU MAY BE KNOWN TO US IN THE BREAKING OF BREAD. 57:38 WE THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR HEARING AND ANSWERING OUR 57:43 PRAYERS.
