06:14 >> IT IS GOOD TO BE HERE WITH YOU FOR THIS CAMP MEETING.
06:20 I AM EXCITED. I HOPE YOU ARE TOO.
06:25 SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY THAT AGAIN.
06:27 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BECAUSE THE THEME OF
06:32 THE -- THE CAMP MEETING IS REVIVAL, AND BY THE SOUND OF
06:36 WHAT I JUST HEARD, WE ARE IN NEED OF RERIVAL.
06:40 SO I'M EXCITED HOW ABUT YOU. >> YES!
06:43 >> AMEN. 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 SEE JOSEPH WAS -- WAS ONE
30:40 OF 12 SONS. ARE YOU WITH ME.
30:43 SAY AMEN IF YOU ARE WITH ME. AMEN.
30:46 BUT CHECK THIS OUT. HIS BROTHERS -- HOW MANY
30:48 BROTHERS DID HE HAVE? 11, RIGHT?
30:51 AND HIS BROTHERS, TEN OF THEM --LET ME ASK YOU THIS, DID
30:58 THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME FATHER? >> YES.
31:00 >> THEY AL HAD THE SAME FATHER. DID THEY HAVE DIFFERENT MOTHERS?
31:04 >> YES. >> ALL RIGHT.
31:08 ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
31:09 SO . . . JOSEPH, ONE OF THE 12, THEY WERE ALL HIS BROTHERS.
31:18 THEY ALL HAD THE SAME FATHER! NO.
31:22 NO. NO.
31:23 THEY ALL HAD THE SAME FATHER, BUT DIFFERENT MOTHERS!
31:33 NO. NO.
31:37 DIFFERENT MOTHERS! OKAY.
31:42 ALL RIGHT. [ LAUGHTER ]
31:44 >> LET'S KEEP READING. 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. GRANT US REVIVAL.
57:45 GRANT US HEARTBURN IS OUR PRAYER IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
