00:15 Welcome to "Battles of Faith."
00:17 We're your host, Ivor and Atonte Myers. 00:19 And we're with Power of the Lamb Ministries. 00:22 In our last program, 00:23 we learned that God's way truly is in the sanctuary, 00:28 that it is a GPS, "God's Plan of Salvation." 00:31 How we can make it home back to heaven 00:34 and live with Him eternally. 00:35 That's right, Atonte. 00:36 We've been discussing this blueprint, 00:39 what we called the GPS, 00:40 God's Gospel Plan of Salvation, 00:43 and how God had given this sanctuary 00:46 to the children of Israel in the Old Testament 00:49 to teach them the plan of salvation. 00:53 And the path back home, and we've gone over 00:57 various examples of Christ and His sacrifice. 01:00 And how, you know, the children of Israel 01:05 were to look at the sanctuary 01:07 and see the Gospel spelled out 01:11 in the different articles of furniture, et cetera. 01:14 And so what we want to do now is, 01:15 we want to invite our audience 01:17 to again take out your Bibles 01:19 because we're going to put this GPS up again. 01:21 We want you to get used to this GPS. 01:23 We're going to be referring to it in future programs 01:27 and we want you to know it so well that if if anyone 01:30 would ever come to me and say, hey, 01:31 this is the way to salvation or that's way to salvation. 01:33 You can say uh, my GPS says something different. 01:37 And that is the Gospel Plan of Salvation 01:39 that is God's sanctuary blueprint. 01:42 And this GPS like some of our GPSs 01:45 that we have in our car or on our phone. 01:47 This one never gets us lost. 01:48 It never makes a mistake. 01:49 And so we can trust God's GPS. 01:52 That's right. So we know that -- 01:54 the Book of Exodus Chapter 25 verse 8 01:56 God says, "Let them make me a sanctuary, 01:59 that I may dwell among them." 02:01 The reason being is because God would 02:03 hide His Glory, within that temple. 02:07 In much the same way that when Jesus came to this earth 02:10 He was God hidden under a veil of the flesh. 02:14 So God says, make the sanctuary 02:16 so that I can dwell in the midst of you. 02:18 And the Psalmist also wrote of this sanctuary. 02:22 He says in Psalm 77:13 02:24 "Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary." 02:28 It is God's path to salvation, 02:31 it is found there in the sanctuary. 02:33 So what we want to do is we just want to 02:34 do a quick review of the sanctuary. 02:37 How it was laid out and what each 02:39 article of furniture represents 02:41 and then we're gonna show is how 02:43 God delivers through this very pattern. 02:46 It's a very exciting study 02:48 and we're gonna jump right in right now. 02:50 So, taking a bird's eye view of the sanctuary, 02:55 we're gonna put our picture up on the screen, 02:57 when you went into the outer court of the sanctuary 03:00 that was the first place that the sinner would go. 03:02 He goes into this tabernacle in the wilderness 03:06 and the first article of furniture to me, 03:08 him was the Altar of Sacrifice. 03:11 And that's where they would sacrifice the animals 03:16 as it, you know, a sin offering as it were, 03:18 there was of, they would confess their sins 03:21 over that particular animal. 03:23 The animal was slain and the blood was 03:24 put upon that altar of sacrifice. 03:26 Going up a little bit further you had go ahead, 03:30 Well, we've the Laver. That's right. 03:31 And the Laver is where 03:33 the priest would wash their hands. 03:37 Of course there was blood, because there was death 03:41 in the slain of lamb and so just in handling the lamb 03:43 they would need to wash their hands. 03:45 And so there was blood and water there in the Laver. 03:47 Exactly. After we -- 03:50 So after the priest have washed thier hands 03:52 and their feet, they now enter into 03:54 what is called the Holy Place 03:55 and there in the Holy Place 03:56 you have three articles of furniture. 03:59 The Table of Showbread and we know that according to the 04:02 New Testament, it represents. 04:05 The word of God. The word of God. 04:06 "Man shall not live by bread alone, 04:07 but by every word that proceeds 04:09 out of the mouth of God." 04:11 You have the Altar of Incense, 04:12 which represented? Prayer. 04:14 Prayer, and you have the 04:17 Seven-Branched Candlestick, which represents? 04:20 God's Church and being a light in the world. 04:22 Being a light in the world. 04:23 Matthew 5:16 says, "Let your light, so shine," 04:27 that represents the Church 04:28 or the eye witness, letting our light shine. 04:31 And then finally, you had the most Holy place, 04:35 which was, uh, which have, 04:37 The Ark of the Covenant, and the Mercy Seat. 04:41 Within the Ark was Law of God 04:43 and upon the Mercy Seat was the presence of God. 04:45 Representing God's throne 04:47 and the foundation of his throne, 04:49 which is the Law of God. 04:50 So see that blueprint, memorize that image, 04:53 don't forget it, because we're gonna see 04:56 just how God delivers through this pattern, 04:59 over and over and over again. 05:02 So, here's what we're going to do 05:03 we're not going to go through the Book of Exodus 05:06 because after all God did give the pattern to Israel. 05:11 And that we want to see how God delivered 05:16 Israel out of Egyptian captivity. 05:19 And we're gonna find this absolutely amazing. 05:21 We're gonna go to the Book of Exodus, Chapter 12, 05:24 and let's read from verse 1 to verse 6. 05:30 I think I'll go ahead and read that. 05:33 Atonte, you can go ahead and read that, 05:34 Exodus 12 verse 1 to verse 6. 05:37 And just to give a little context 05:39 what we're about read here. 05:42 God has been sending out plagues 05:44 upon the Egyptians in order to let Israel go. 05:50 This is the very last thing 05:52 God is instructing Israel to do 05:54 before they actually leave Egyptian captivity. 05:58 Now, as we're reading, I want you out there 06:00 as you're watching to be thinking 06:02 of the sanctuary and think okay, 06:05 what article of furniture could this be pointing to. 06:08 Okay, so let's read Exodus 12 verse 1 through 6. 06:11 Okay, and it says "And the Lord spake 06:13 unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 06:17 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months, 06:20 it shall be the first month of the year to you. 06:23 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, 06:26 saying, In the tenth day of this month 06:29 they shall take to them every man a lamb, 06:32 according to the house of their fathers, 06:34 a lamb for an house, 06:37 And if the household be too little, 06:39 for the lamb let him and his neighbor 06:42 next unto his house, take it according 06:45 to the number of the souls, 06:47 every man according to his eating 06:49 shall make your count for the lamb. 06:53 Your lamb shall be without blemish, 06:54 a male of the first year, ye shall take it out 06:58 from the sheep, or from the goats. 07:00 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day 07:03 of the same month and the whole assembly 07:06 of the congregation of Israel shal kill it in the evening." 07:09 And verse 7 as well. 07:10 "And they shall take of the blood, 07:12 and strike it on the two side posts 07:15 and on the upper door post of the houses, 07:18 where in they shall eat it." 07:19 Okay, so here we've the institution 07:21 of the Passover Sacrifice, hint, hint, hint. 07:27 The Passover Sacrifice, God is about to lead 07:30 Israel out of captivity and the first thing 07:33 He tells them to do is to what? 07:36 Sacrifice a lamb. Lamb. 07:39 Well, bell should be going off, because 07:41 if you have been familiarized with the blueprint 07:44 and you remember the articles of furniture. 07:46 You will, your mind would probably go where? 07:49 To the Altar of Sacrifice. 07:52 That's the very first step in the plan of salvation 07:56 that sacrifice, without that sacrifice, 07:58 there can be nothing else. 08:00 And so God instructs Israel to make the sacrifice 08:03 and I believe He was trying to point them forward 08:07 to the ultimate sacrifice that would come, 08:10 that would deliver us out of Egypt, from captivity. 08:14 I mean think about it right now. 08:15 You maybe sitting out there, 08:16 watching this program and you're saying, 08:17 I'm in a captivity. 08:19 You Know, I'm in a captivity to drugs, 08:21 I'm in captivity to alcohol, 08:22 I'm in captivity, you know, to whatever it is. 08:25 You fill in the blank, what we're seeing here 08:28 through what we've read so far is that, 08:31 the way of deliverance is thorough a sacrifice. 08:37 And that sacrifice is none other 08:39 than Jesus Christ himself. That's Right. 08:41 So, Christ this story points forwards to Christ, 08:46 but in it's actual setting, 08:48 we see here a lamb being sacrificed, 08:50 which shows us this is the very first step 08:53 in the blueprint of God. 08:55 In that sanctuary service, the sacrifice of the animal. 08:59 So what happens, they sacrifice this animal 09:01 and the destroying angel comes, 09:05 and whosoever house that destroying angel 09:08 passes over that did not have the blood 09:11 on the posts, they were destroyed. 09:13 What does that tell us about the plan of salvation? 09:16 That we have to have Jesus' blood to cover us. 09:20 And we get that through repenting of our sins. 09:22 That's right. 09:24 It is through confession, and repentance, 09:27 and cleaning the blood of Christ 09:29 that averts destruction, and what do we know, 09:32 the devil is trying to destroy. 09:35 That's his job, that's his mission. 09:36 Okay, so that's Exodus Chapter 12. 09:40 Well, the children of Israel 09:42 are out of Egypt and they're rejoicing 09:45 and Pharaoh is back there in Egypt 09:47 and he lets them go 09:49 but then he begins to have second thoughts. 09:51 And he says, what have I done. 09:53 He says, he says to his army, 09:55 go and get them and bring them back. 09:58 Well, if you know the story you'll know that 10:01 the children of Israel are on their journey. 10:03 When they hear news that Pharaoh is behind them, 10:07 coming to bring them back to Egyptian captivity. 10:10 And, you know what, I just want to say here 10:12 that Satan will not let you go without a fight. 10:15 That's right. That's right. 10:16 You know, don't think that just because 10:19 you accepted Christ's sacrifice 10:21 on your behalf, that the devil says, 10:22 okay, well, you know, let him go. 10:25 No, He is always going to come after you, 10:29 trying to bring you back into captivity. 10:31 That happens many times, sometimes people 10:35 have been living a life of sin 10:37 and even though what they were doing 10:39 is what Satan wanted them to do 10:41 they didn't feel his presence so heavily, 10:43 but then when things got really bad, 10:45 they did feel his presence 10:46 and they decided to turn to Jesus. 10:48 But then they see that the attacks 10:51 are pushed up or it's more aggressive. 10:54 And they're thinking I gave my life to God 10:56 why are all these things happening, 10:59 because Satan wants you back. 11:01 That's right. He wants you back. 11:03 What a title? He wants you back. 11:05 Well, anyway so that's Exodus 12, 11:09 as we said, we've seen our Pharaoh 11:11 and his army is coming after Israel. 11:14 And there is a situation because Israel, 11:17 it looks as though they're trapped 11:18 because right ahead of them is the Red Sea, the Red Sea. 11:28 Our whole bells are going off, 11:30 because if you remember the blueprint, 11:33 what article of furniture comes right after 11:37 the Altar of Sacrifice, what is it? 11:39 The Laver. It's the Laver. 11:41 And what does the Laver represent? 11:44 Baptism. It represents baptism, 11:46 we saw that in earlier programs. 11:48 We saw that in another program. 11:49 In this program earlier, 11:51 the Laver represents baptism, 11:53 and the children of Israel 11:54 are their face, they're in between, 11:55 the Red Sea is in front of them, 11:57 Pharaoh's behind them. 11:58 And God says to Moses, 12:00 Moses, why are you standing here? 12:02 Lift up your rod and something is going to happen. 12:06 When Moses lifts up the rod. 12:08 Sixteen. You go head. 12:09 Chapter 16 verse o rather chapter 14 verse 16. 12:13 "But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine 12:16 hand over the sea, and divide it, 12:17 and thy children of Israel shall go on dry ground 12:20 through the midst of the sea." 12:21 That's right. 12:22 It's interesting, Atonte, that when Paul writes about 12:26 this event in First Corinthians 10, 12:28 listen to how he describes it, 12:30 he says verse 1, "Moreover, brethren, 12:32 I would not that ye should be ignorant, 12:34 how that all our fathers were under the cloud, 12:37 and all passed through the sea. 12:39 And were all baptized unto Moses 12:44 in the cloud and in the sea." 12:46 Here is a symbol, the children of Israel 12:48 going through the Red Sea 12:49 actually symbolized a baptism, 12:52 just like God had pointed out in the sanctuary. 12:56 Now mind you, the sanctuary hasn't even been built yet. 13:00 The children of Israel don't get the sanctuary 13:01 until they're in the wilderness. 13:03 So God is even showing this sanctuary path 13:07 before the children of Israel 13:09 even received the sanctuary. 13:11 They sacrificed the Passover lamb, 13:13 that's the Altar of Sacrifice. 13:15 In Exodus 14, they crossed through the Red Sea, 13:18 that's the Laver, they've been baptized. 13:21 Well, what comes next after they crossed over the Red sea 13:25 and they're rejoicing and they're all happy, 13:28 something else happens. 13:30 Well, God rains manna down. That's right. 13:32 The children of Israel, all of a sudden are like 13:34 hey, we're hungry. 13:36 And he rains manna down from heaven that they, 13:39 and gather it every day except on the seventh day. 13:43 That's right. What a blessing. 13:44 All you need to do is to go out 13:46 and get the food for free. 13:47 Exactly. Exodus 16:4, it says. 13:50 Well, actually verse 3 says, 13:51 "And the children of Israel said unto them, 13:53 Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord 13:56 in the land of Egypt, when we ate, 13:58 when we sat by the flesh pots, 14:00 and when we did eat bread to the full, 14:03 for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness 14:05 to kill this whole assembly with hunger. 14:07 Then said the Lord unto Moses, 14:08 Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you, 14:11 and the people shall go out 14:13 and gather a certain rate every day, 14:15 that I may prove them, 14:16 whether they will walk in my law, or no." 14:19 So what's happening here is that 14:20 God now is raining manna down from them. 14:24 Now, remember again bells should be going off 14:27 because what article of furniture 14:29 do we find in the Holy Place that would 14:32 correspond to God raining bread down? 14:36 The Table of Showbread. 14:37 The Table of Showbread. Absolutely. 14:40 We might say this is a coincidence 14:42 or we might say, no, this is the GPS, 14:46 this is God's path of Salvation. 14:48 This is how God delivers. 14:50 This is how God saves, always through that pattern. 14:55 You've got to accept Christ first, 14:57 you've got to be baptized. 14:58 And then you've got to start studying the word of God. 15:00 You've got to start reading, 15:01 you've got to start eating that word 15:04 and having it become a part of you. 15:05 And I am glad that you said study, 15:08 at first you did say reading but then you said study. 15:10 Because it's not just reading the word of God. 15:16 But when you eat the bread 15:18 and so, it represents studying, 15:21 taking it deep, digesting and allowing 15:23 it to become a part of your mind, 15:27 your thought process, it begins to change you. 15:31 So many times Christians say, 15:32 yeah, I get up, then I, you know, 15:35 read a passage in the Bible. 15:36 And you know, then I pray for five minutes 15:39 and nothing really seems to be happening, 15:41 or the Bible is boring, 15:42 it's because we're not eating the bread of life, 15:45 we're just reading the outside of the bread. 15:49 That's right. The label if you will. 15:50 Exactly. God is taking His people 15:53 through the journey of the Israelites. 15:56 God is actually showing us our own journey, 15:59 He is showing us what we must do 16:01 in order to make it to that promised land, 16:04 because that's where He was ultimately leading them too. 16:06 All right, so that's Exodus 12 the Altar of Sacrifice. 16:10 Exodus 14, the Laver, they passed through the Red Sea. 16:13 Exodus 16, God rains down manna, 16:16 that's the Table of Showbread. 16:18 Well, what comes next? 16:19 In Exodus 19, we find God 16:22 making a pronouncement to Israel, 16:24 if you will, it's Exodus 19 and verse 5. 16:27 Atonte, do you want to read that? 16:29 Verse 5 and verse 6. 16:30 Okay. It says. "Now therefore, 16:32 if you will obey my voice indeed, 16:34 and keep my covenant, then ye shall be 16:36 a peculiar treasure unto me 16:38 above all people, for all the earth is mine. 16:42 And ye shall be unto me 16:43 a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. 16:46 These are the words which thou shalt speak 16:48 unto the children of Israel." 16:50 So the Bible, now tells us here that God is 16:54 calling His people and He declares them that 16:57 His royal nation He declares them a peculiar treasure. 17:00 Now, as we look in the sanctuary we might say uh, 17:03 peculiar treasure, what peculiar treasure. 17:09 What would that represent in the Holy Place? 17:12 I mean you look at a candlestick, 17:14 usually has one shaft it's a candle. 17:17 But here we have a peculiar treasure 17:20 if you will, a candlestick 17:22 seven branched made out of gold, 17:24 that is pretty peculiar. 17:26 What God is here declaring to the children of Israel 17:29 is you are the light, you are the people I'm going to use 17:34 to bring the light of the Gospel to the world. 17:38 You are my royal nation, my nation of priests 17:41 that I'm going to use in the plan of salvation 17:44 to shed light to the world. 17:47 I've had something that's stood out to me in verse 5. 17:51 "If you will obey my voice indeed, 17:53 and keep my covenant." That's right. 17:54 "You will be considered a peculiar people 17:59 and I will use you basically." 18:01 And so there is condition to that as well. 18:03 Exactly. Exactly. 18:04 God is showing us through the path of Israel 18:07 the very path we are called to take. 18:09 So Exodus 12, "Altar of Sacrifice." 18:11 Exodus 14, "The Laver." 18:14 Exodus 16, "The Table of Showbread." 18:16 Exodus 19, "The Seven-Branch Candlestick." 18:19 We can't say that this is coincidence, 18:21 or we can say, no, this is God's GPS. 18:25 This is a plan, this is not a coincidence, 18:28 this is God's directing. 18:29 Well, what happens next? 18:31 In Exodus 19, same chapter Exodus 19, 18:34 and I believe this is verse 9. 18:37 The Bible says in verse 9. 18:39 "And the Lord said unto Moses, 18:40 Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, 18:42 that the people may hear 18:43 when I speak with thee, and believe thee forever. 18:46 And Moses told those words, 18:48 told the words of the people unto the Lord. 18:52 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, 18:54 and sanctify them today and tomorrow, 18:57 and let them wash their clothes, 18:59 And be ready against the third day, 19:01 for the third day the Lord will come down 19:04 in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai." 19:09 It's quite interesting here. Well, God is calling, 19:11 he's telling the children of Israel to do this thing. 19:13 He's saying, listen, 19:15 prepare yourselves because I'm coming. 19:19 Prepare yourselves because I'm coming. 19:21 It's as though He was calling them 19:23 to make hard preparation they spent these three days, 19:26 you know, probably searching their own hearts, 19:28 searching themselves and trying to do all that 19:31 they could to be ready. Yeah. 19:33 This is a call to prayer. Yes. 19:35 It's a call to contemplating, 19:38 you know, you're deep self searching 19:41 and it points us to the Altar of Incense. 19:46 It's amazing that God is actually going 19:48 through this entire pattern as He's leading 19:51 the children of Israel, of through this path 19:53 because what do we find happening 19:56 in Exodus Chapter 20, remember. 19:59 Exodus 12, "Altar of Sacrifice." 20:02 Exodus 14, "The Laver." Baptism. 20:06 Exodus 16, "The Table of Showbread." Manna. 20:09 Exodus 19, "The Seven-Branch Candlestick. 20:15 "You are my peculiar treasure. 20:17 Same Exodus 19, spent three days 20:20 in deep heart searching because in Exodus 20, 20:25 what do you have happening? 20:26 And maybe you should be jumping up and down 20:28 in your chairs right now at home because, 20:30 what is Exodus 20 about? 20:32 God gives the Law to Moses, 20:34 the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments. 20:36 He gives it actually to all, 20:38 he gives it not only to Moses, 20:39 but the whole-- all the children of Israel, 20:43 they receive the commandments, 20:44 God comes down and speaks 20:46 the law of God, in their hearing. 20:50 This is the sanctuary of blueprint 20:53 laid out for us in the most amazing and spectacular way. 20:59 God saves through this pattern 21:03 this is how he delivers. 21:04 Ultimately, Atonte, it shows us 21:07 that God is trying to lead us back 21:11 to keeping His commandments. 21:14 He's saying, listen, if you want to get in my presence, 21:18 if you want to dwell with me throughout all eternity. 21:23 Remember, that day in the Garden of Eden, 21:26 Satan, convinced Adam and Eve 21:28 that they did not need to obey God's word 21:32 and as a result they were cast out of the Garden. 21:37 They were therefore in a lost condition, 21:43 mankind has been in a lost condition. 21:47 What God is here doing now 21:49 is He gives to mankind the special gift, 21:53 this blueprint, it's like a map. 21:55 And again we have a map of the sanctuary 21:57 right before us on our table, 21:58 we have it folded out just like we -- 22:01 just like you would open up a map and show it someone, 22:03 hey, are you lost, this is the way to go. 22:04 Here is our map of the sanctuary 22:06 that shows this path of salvation, 22:09 God gave this, this blueprint to the humanity 22:13 as a map so that they can look and see. 22:16 Okay, if we want to get back into the presence of God, 22:21 we have to accept Christ's sacrifice. 22:24 Yes. We too must be baptized. 22:26 We must study his word daily. 22:29 We too must pray, pray, 22:31 and commune with God on a daily basis. 22:34 We too must let our light shine. 22:37 And I think, in as Christians we get the surrender, 22:43 we get the baptism, we even understand 22:45 studying His word and praying. 22:47 I think the weakest, one of the weakest links 22:49 that we find-- is in the witnessing 22:52 letting our light shine. That's right. 22:54 I mean, yes, living as a-- living a good honest life, 22:58 people can see that by example 23:00 but actually with a purpose, intent. 23:02 You know, an intention to go out 23:04 and witness to actually try to study with someone 23:07 or have some type of ministry 23:09 that God has called you too. 23:11 I think that's where the weaker -- 23:13 the weaker link is for Christians. 23:14 Exactly. In other words, 23:17 it's showing us and it's quite amazing, Atonte, 23:19 just staying on that Holy Place just for a moment, 23:25 the Altar of Incense, the Table of Showbread, 23:30 and the Seven-Branch Candlestick, 23:32 it's as though they're all equals. 23:34 And whenever we give any one of those articles 23:38 more attention than the other. 23:41 What ends up happening is that 23:43 you lead an unbalanced 23:45 you have an unbalanced Christian experience. 23:47 If you're only into prayer 23:49 and you're like I don't need to study, 23:50 I don't need to witness, you're unbalanced. 23:52 If you're only into Bible study, 23:54 oh I love studying the word of God, but prayer, 23:57 you know, witnessing, you're unbalanced. 23:59 Anyone of those that you lean toward 24:03 and kind of play the other down, 24:05 it leads to an unbalanced experience. 24:08 And when you're unbalanced what happens? 24:11 You fall. That's right. 24:12 And in Proverbs Chapter 11 verse 1, 24:16 the God says that, an unbalanced man 24:19 is an abomination unto the Lord. 24:20 That's right. Unbalanced man. 24:21 So he wants us to be balanced in everything in our life. 24:23 Exactly. Exactly. 24:24 So ultimately we find here that -- 24:28 the plan of salvation leads us back 24:31 into the very presence of God. 24:34 But if we want to be in the presence of God, 24:37 we must be willing to submit to the law, 24:41 which is the foundation of His throne. 24:44 This is why Revelation 22:14 and 15, say, 24:47 "Blessed are they that do His commandments, 24:50 that they may have right to the tree of life, 24:52 and may enter in through the city." 24:54 Remember, Adam and Eve, put out of the Garden 24:57 because they sinned or rebelled against God's law. 25:00 God is ultimately saying, the way back to me, 25:04 back into that city is through ultimately 25:08 keeping my commandments. 25:10 That's what He's leading us back to, 25:12 to keeping His commandments. 25:15 So we see the plan of salvation 25:16 or we see the blueprint laid out here. 25:18 I want to show one more thing, 25:20 just before we close, 25:21 we just have a short time left. 25:23 But even the way that the New Testament 25:28 is organized shows the GPS plan of salvation, 25:34 the Gospels, the Book of Matthew, 25:36 Mark, Luke, and John. 25:37 All deal with the life, death, 25:41 and burial of Jesus Christ, and His resurrection. 25:46 That's all the max that the Gospel speak about. 25:48 The next book is the Book of Acts, 25:51 by the way that would be the Altar of Sacrifice. 25:54 The next book is the Book of Acts, 25:57 and the Book of Acts deals strongly 25:59 with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 26:03 Well, audience, what is that? 26:06 The Laver. Exactly. 26:07 The Laver. The Laver. 26:08 The baptism, all right. 26:11 Then you have the Book of Romans 26:13 all the way to the Book of Jude. 26:14 And those books Romans to Jude, 26:17 covers the importance of Bible study, 26:20 the importance of prayer, and Christ intersession, 26:24 and the importance of letting your light shine. 26:26 That's right. Of being a witness, 26:28 all those books cover all those three aspects, 26:32 which brings us to the Book of Revelation. 26:35 And the Book of Revelation 26:37 takes us into the very presence of God. 26:42 It shows us exactly what we need to do 26:45 in order to stand before His throne. 26:48 It takes us into that most 26:50 Holy place like no other book does. 26:52 And it's amazing just in case you think 26:54 this GPS is coincidence we're gonna see in future studies 27:00 that the blueprint is all over the Bible. 27:03 And I've heard, Christians say that I stay awake, 27:07 I stay away from the Book of Revelation, 27:09 and to think that's book that takes into presence of God. 27:12 Exactly. It's amazing. 27:14 So as we have, I believe 27:16 demonstrated here today, trust the GPS. 27:20 It doesn't lie, God's Plan of Salvation 27:23 will get you to where you want to go, 27:26 that is the Kingdom of Heaven. 27:28 Amen. For those of you who are 27:31 starting to get more and more excited about this study. 27:34 I mean, it has made us excited, 27:36 because I know there's family members and friends 27:39 and people out there that you're thinking, 27:41 they don't know Jesus and hey're confused 27:44 on what the Bible is really teaching. 27:46 But we believe that this GPS, 27:48 this blueprint is what you can use. 27:51 God would want, would like for you to use 27:53 to help guide them and show them the path to Jesus. 27:58 And then eventually the path into living in the kingdom, 28:00 and living with Him Forever. Amen. 28:02 So you don't want to miss any future programs 28:05 because this was exciting but it gets even better. 28:08 So until next time, God Bless. |
