  • God's heart, prophetic revelation,

  • Prophetic revelation, when god isn't speaking
  • 00:04:47.102 --> 00:04:49.204
  • When god isn't speaking and people are listening
  • 00:04:49.271 --> 00:04:50.205

  • 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:52.874
  • So, what happens without god's word being proclaimed,
  • 00:04:52.941 --> 00:04:56.445
  • God's word being proclaimed, being heeded, being received
  • 00:04:56.511 --> 00:04:58.313
  • Being heeded, being received into a person's heart?
  • 00:04:58.380 --> 00:04:59.915
  • Into a person's heart? and this is true on any level.
  • 00:04:59.981 --> 00:05:01.450
  • And this is true on any level. it's true on
  • 00:05:01.516 --> 00:05:02.050
  • It's true on the individual level,
  • 00:05:02.117 --> 00:05:02.818
  • The individual level, it's true on the family level,
  • 00:05:02.884 --> 00:05:05.087
  • It's true on the family level, it's true on a community level,
  • 00:05:05.153 --> 00:05:07.356
  • It's true on a community level, and it's true on a national
  • 00:05:07.422 --> 00:05:08.490
  • And it's true on a national and world level.
  • 00:05:08.557 --> 00:05:09.891
  • And world level. when god is pushed out,
  • 00:05:09.958 --> 00:05:10.926
  • When god is pushed out, when the voice of the lord,
  • 00:05:10.992 --> 00:05:13.061
  • When the voice of the lord, when prophetic revelation
  • 00:05:13.128 --> 00:05:14.296
  • When prophetic revelation is cast off,
  • 00:05:14.363 --> 00:05:16.431
  • Is cast off, people are scattered.
  • 00:05:16.498 --> 00:05:20.068
  • People are scattered. >> yeah.
  • 00:05:20.135 --> 00:05:20.335
  • >> yeah. >> people push off restraint.
  • 00:05:20.402 --> 00:05:22.137
  • >> people push off restraint. >> right.
  • 00:05:22.204 --> 00:05:22.637
  • >> right. >> in other words, sin abounds,
  • 00:05:22.704 --> 00:05:25.540
  • >> in other words, sin abounds, chaos abounds,
  • 00:05:25.607 --> 00:05:27.943
  • Chaos abounds, disorder abounds.
  • 00:05:28.009 --> 00:05:29.511
  • Disorder abounds. law and order is disintegrated,
  • 00:05:29.578 --> 00:05:32.013
  • Law and order is disintegrated, and i'm seeing it.
  • 00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:33.915
  • And i'm seeing it. i moved out to l.a.
  • 00:05:33.982 --> 00:05:35.183
  • I moved out to l.a. recently and i'm seeing
  • 00:05:35.250 --> 00:05:37.185
  • Recently and i'm seeing the casting off of restraint
  • 00:05:37.252 --> 00:05:40.389
  • The casting off of restraint because the word of god
  • 00:05:40.455 --> 00:05:42.157
  • Because the word of god has been pushed away.
  • 00:05:42.224 --> 00:05:44.126
  • Has been pushed away. >> yeah.
  • 00:05:44.192 --> 00:05:44.593
  • >> yeah. >> think about how this --
  • 00:05:44.659 --> 00:05:45.327
  • >> think about how this -- how true this is.
  • 00:05:45.394 --> 00:05:46.261
  • How true this is. >> so true.
  • 00:05:46.328 --> 00:05:46.862
  • >> so true. >> but blessed is the one who
  • 00:05:46.928 --> 00:05:48.463
  • >> but blessed is the one who follows a biblical world view.
  • 00:05:48.530 --> 00:05:50.565
  • Follows a biblical world view. blessed is the one
  • 00:05:50.632 --> 00:05:51.466
  • Blessed is the one who's led by torah,
  • 00:05:51.533 --> 00:05:53.235
  • Who's led by torah, by god's instruction.
  • 00:05:53.301 --> 00:05:54.469
  • By god's instruction. and the idea here is that
  • 00:05:54.536 --> 00:05:56.171
  • And the idea here is that that in the midst of turmoil,
  • 00:05:56.238 --> 00:05:59.007
  • That in the midst of turmoil, of confusion, of economic
  • 00:05:59.074 --> 00:06:00.742
  • Of confusion, of economic and political disruption
  • 00:06:00.809 --> 00:06:03.278
  • And political disruption and disorder,
  • 00:06:03.345 --> 00:06:04.346
  • And disorder, the one that walks
  • 00:06:04.413 --> 00:06:05.347
  • The one that walks the straight line
  • 00:06:05.414 --> 00:06:07.382
  • The straight line through the confusion,
  • 00:06:07.449 --> 00:06:08.850
  • Through the confusion, through the malaise,
  • 00:06:08.917 --> 00:06:12.754
  • Through the malaise, is following the voice
  • 00:06:12.821 --> 00:06:14.322
  • Is following the voice of the lord,
  • 00:06:14.389 --> 00:06:15.257
  • Of the lord, was following
  • 00:06:15.323 --> 00:06:15.991
  • Was following the instruction of the lord,
  • 00:06:16.057 --> 00:06:17.092
  • The instruction of the lord, is hearing the word of the lord.
  • 00:06:17.159 --> 00:06:19.428
  • Is hearing the word of the lord. and i think this connects
  • 00:06:19.494 --> 00:06:20.862
  • And i think this connects to yeshua saying,
  • 00:06:20.929 --> 00:06:21.630
  • To yeshua saying, "let those who have ears
  • 00:06:21.696 --> 00:06:22.631
  • "let those who have ears let them hear,"
  • 00:06:22.697 --> 00:06:23.598
  • Let them hear," the other ones will
  • 00:06:23.665 --> 00:06:24.499
  • The other ones will cast off restraint,
  • 00:06:24.566 --> 00:06:25.400
  • Cast off restraint, 'cause they're not
  • 00:06:25.467 --> 00:06:26.034
  • 'cause they're not hearing from god.
  • 00:06:26.101 --> 00:06:26.535
  • Hearing from god. >> it's really true.
  • 00:06:26.601 --> 00:06:27.102
  • >> it's really true. we have a choice of what
  • 00:06:27.169 --> 00:06:28.036
  • We have a choice of what we're listening to.
  • 00:06:28.103 --> 00:06:29.337
  • We're listening to. we have a choice of what
  • 00:06:29.404 --> 00:06:30.071
  • We have a choice of what we're watching and what
  • 00:06:30.138 --> 00:06:31.406
  • We're watching and what we're listening to.
  • 00:06:31.473 --> 00:06:32.340
  • We're listening to. and if we continue to listen
  • 00:06:32.407 --> 00:06:33.642
  • And if we continue to listen to non-revelatory eternal words
  • 00:06:33.708 --> 00:06:38.780
  • To non-revelatory eternal words we will, like you said
  • 00:06:38.847 --> 00:06:40.282
  • We will, like you said and the proverbs says,
  • 00:06:40.348 --> 00:06:41.616
  • And the proverbs says, cast off restraint.
  • 00:06:41.683 --> 00:06:42.951
  • Cast off restraint. i love the last part
  • 00:06:43.018 --> 00:06:43.718
  • I love the last part of this verse, jonathan,
  • 00:06:43.785 --> 00:06:45.187
  • Of this verse, jonathan, "but blessed is the one who
  • 00:06:45.253 --> 00:06:48.290
  • "but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom's instruction."
  • 00:06:48.356 --> 00:06:51.460
  • Heeds wisdom's instruction." >> yes.
  • 00:06:51.526 --> 00:06:51.860
  • >> yes. >> heeding is a --
  • 00:06:51.927 --> 00:06:53.228
  • >> heeding is a -- in order to heed something
  • 00:06:53.295 --> 00:06:54.396
  • In order to heed something we have to make
  • 00:06:54.463 --> 00:06:55.130
  • We have to make a personal commitment
  • 00:06:55.197 --> 00:06:56.398
  • A personal commitment to abiding by this.
  • 00:06:56.465 --> 00:06:58.366
  • To abiding by this. and i know that as we chose
  • 00:06:58.433 --> 00:07:00.902
  • And i know that as we chose to heed the word of god
  • 00:07:00.969 --> 00:07:02.504
  • To heed the word of god we're blessed beyond measure.
  • 00:07:02.571 --> 00:07:04.105
  • We're blessed beyond measure. >> and the implication here
  • 00:07:04.172 --> 00:07:05.474
  • >> and the implication here is that the proclamation
  • 00:07:05.540 --> 00:07:07.042
  • Is that the proclamation of the word of god,
  • 00:07:07.108 --> 00:07:07.809
  • Of the word of god, the voice of the lord,
  • 00:07:07.876 --> 00:07:08.877
  • The voice of the lord, the revelation of the lord
  • 00:07:08.944 --> 00:07:10.512
  • The revelation of the lord being heeded puts things
  • 00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:13.014
  • Being heeded puts things in order.
  • 00:07:13.081 --> 00:07:13.815

  • >> yeah. >> otherwise, there's decay,
  • 00:07:14.483 --> 00:07:15.517
  • >> otherwise, there's decay, there's decomposition
  • 00:07:15.584 --> 00:07:17.486
  • There's decomposition and everything falls apart.
  • 00:07:17.552 --> 00:07:19.087
  • And everything falls apart. >> that's true.
  • 00:07:19.154 --> 00:07:19.488
  • >> that's true. >> you know, just leave

  • Why are children so important to god?
  • 00:19:38.993 --> 00:19:39.994
  • So important to god? because god
  • 00:19:40.061 --> 00:19:40.795
