  • "were not our hearts warmed?"
  • 00:02:11.550 --> 00:02:13.485
  • In fact, the lord restrained

  • In fact, the lord restrained their eyes from seeing himself
  • 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.322

  • I asked the lord one time, "why didn't you just reveal yourself,
  • 00:02:19.725 --> 00:02:21.059
  • Didn't you just reveal yourself, show your nail pierced hands
  • 00:02:21.126 --> 00:02:22.394
  • Show your nail pierced hands to them and reveal yourself
  • 00:02:22.461 --> 00:02:24.663
  • To them and reveal yourself to them?"
  • 00:02:24.730 --> 00:02:25.530
  • To them?" but he says that, "it was more
  • 00:02:25.597 --> 00:02:26.732
  • But he says that, "it was more important for them to see me
  • 00:02:26.798 --> 00:02:28.066
  • Important for them to see me in the scriptures
  • 00:02:28.133 --> 00:02:30.302
  • In the scriptures than to see me in person."
  • 00:02:30.369 --> 00:02:32.237
  • Than to see me in person." this is the answer the lord gave
  • 00:02:32.304 --> 00:02:33.171
  • This is the answer the lord gave me, because that will give you
  • 00:02:33.238 --> 00:02:35.107
  • Me, because that will give you all, referring to us today who
  • 00:02:35.173 --> 00:02:37.976
  • All, referring to us today who are not there with them on the

  • Are not there with them on the emmaus road, equal opportunity,
  • 00:02:39.845 --> 00:02:42.881
  • Emmaus road, equal opportunity, amen, because as they saw
  • 00:02:42.948 --> 00:02:44.182
  • Amen, because as they saw the lord in the scriptures,
  • 00:02:44.249 --> 00:02:46.318
  • The lord in the scriptures, we have the same privilege
  • 00:02:46.385 --> 00:02:47.853

  • To see him in the scriptures. praise god!
  • 00:02:49.187 --> 00:02:50.122
  • Praise god! okay, praise the lord.
  • 00:02:50.188 --> 00:02:51.089
  • Okay, praise the lord. let's go to galatians 4:21,
  • 00:02:51.156 --> 00:02:52.791
  • Let's go to galatians 4:21, it says,
  • 00:02:52.858 --> 00:02:53.525
  • It says, "tell me, you who desire
  • 00:02:53.592 --> 00:02:54.259
  • "tell me, you who desire to be under the law,
  • 00:02:54.326 --> 00:02:55.394
  • To be under the law, do you not hear the law?
  • 00:02:55.460 --> 00:02:56.528
  • Do you not hear the law? for it is written
  • 00:02:56.595 --> 00:02:57.329
  • For it is written that abraham had two sons:
  • 00:02:57.396 --> 00:02:59.498
  • That abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman--"
  • 00:02:59.564 --> 00:03:01.333
  • The one by a bondwoman--" now who is that son?
  • 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.035
  • Now who is that son? the son of hagar,
  • 00:03:03.101 --> 00:03:04.236
  • The son of hagar, ishmael, right?
  • 00:03:04.303 --> 00:03:05.771
  • Ishmael, right? remember hagar is not the legal
  • 00:03:05.837 --> 00:03:07.973
  • Remember hagar is not the legal wife, she's actually a slave
  • 00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:10.275
  • Wife, she's actually a slave that was given to abraham
  • 00:03:10.342 --> 00:03:12.811
  • That was given to abraham when he--during his sojourn
  • 00:03:12.878 --> 00:03:14.546
  • When he--during his sojourn in egypt, and she was there,
  • 00:03:14.613 --> 00:03:17.749
  • In egypt, and she was there, she was given.
  • 00:03:17.816 --> 00:03:18.850
  • She was given. and she bore abraham ishmael,
  • 00:03:18.917 --> 00:03:22.754
  • And she bore abraham ishmael, but the abraham's other son,
  • 00:03:22.821 --> 00:03:24.823
  • But the abraham's other son, the promised one,
  • 00:03:24.890 --> 00:03:26.358
  • The promised one, the one who came later,
  • 00:03:26.425 --> 00:03:27.492
  • The one who came later, was isaac, and
  • 00:03:27.559 --> 00:03:28.660
  • Was isaac, and that's by a free woman, sarah.
  • 00:03:28.727 --> 00:03:31.430
  • That's by a free woman, sarah. "but he who was of the bondwoman
  • 00:03:31.496 --> 00:03:33.498
  • "but he who was of the bondwoman was born according
  • 00:03:33.565 --> 00:03:34.700
  • Was born according to the flesh--"
  • 00:03:34.766 --> 00:03:35.767
  • To the flesh--" that means human effort,
  • 00:03:35.834 --> 00:03:37.903
  • That means human effort, "and he of the freewoman,
  • 00:03:37.969 --> 00:03:39.504
  • "and he of the freewoman, through promise."
  • 00:03:39.571 --> 00:03:40.739
  • Through promise." that's isaac, through sarah.
  • 00:03:40.806 --> 00:03:43.208
  • That's isaac, through sarah. okay, so one was according to
  • 00:03:43.275 --> 00:03:44.242
  • Okay, so one was according to flesh, human effort, the other
  • 00:03:44.309 --> 00:03:46.311
  • Flesh, human effort, the other is through god's promise when
  • 00:03:46.378 --> 00:03:47.846
  • Is through god's promise when human effort cannot avail.
  • 00:03:47.913 --> 00:03:49.881
  • Human effort cannot avail. "which things are symbolic?"
  • 00:03:49.948 --> 00:03:51.650
  • "which things are symbolic?" whoa!
  • 00:03:51.717 --> 00:03:52.517
  • Whoa! now here we have a lesson
  • 00:03:52.584 --> 00:03:53.819
  • Now here we have a lesson from the lord himself,
  • 00:03:53.885 --> 00:03:54.753
  • From the lord himself, from the holy spirit teaching us
  • 00:03:54.820 --> 00:03:56.188
  • From the holy spirit teaching us that even characters,
  • 00:03:56.254 --> 00:03:58.190
  • That even characters, even people in the bible,
  • 00:03:58.256 --> 00:03:59.725
  • Even people in the bible, in the old testament,
  • 00:03:59.791 --> 00:04:01.026
  • In the old testament, are actually symbolic.
  • 00:04:01.093 --> 00:04:02.594
  • Are actually symbolic. they are types.
  • 00:04:02.661 --> 00:04:03.895
  • They are types. they are shadows of something
  • 00:04:03.962 --> 00:04:05.864
  • They are shadows of something that god wants to convey
  • 00:04:05.931 --> 00:04:06.965
  • That god wants to convey to us, amen.
  • 00:04:07.032 --> 00:04:08.266

  • 00:04:42.768 --> 00:04:44.136
  • Old covenant and new covenant, "the one from mount sinai

  • "the one from mount sinai which gives birth to bondage,

  • Which gives birth to bondage, which is hagar--"
  • 00:04:48.774 --> 00:04:49.841
  • Which is hagar--" don't forget,
  • 00:04:49.908 --> 00:04:50.709
  • Don't forget, the law came from mount sinai.
  • 00:04:50.776 --> 00:04:52.377
  • The law came from mount sinai. we are not on mount sinai.
  • 00:04:52.444 --> 00:04:53.912
  • We are not on mount sinai. in fact, in hebrews 12, it says,

  • In fact, in hebrews 12, it says, "you are not come unto the

  • That shakes, that there was trumpets,
  • 00:05:00.786 --> 00:05:01.787
  • That there was trumpets, and there was thundering

  • The bible says, "he said, 'i exceedingly fear and quake.'"

  • "but as he who was born according to the flesh--"
  • 00:07:00.105 --> 00:07:02.274
  • According to the flesh--" now that's ishmael.

  • Now that's ishmael. ishmael was born according
  • 00:07:03.909 --> 00:07:04.676
  • Ishmael was born according to the flesh, and
  • 00:07:04.743 --> 00:07:05.810
  • To the flesh, and he's 13 years older than isaac,
  • 00:07:05.877 --> 00:07:08.280
  • He's 13 years older than isaac, he persecuted him as he was born
  • 00:07:08.346 --> 00:07:11.449
  • He persecuted him as he was born according to the flesh then,
  • 00:07:11.516 --> 00:07:12.918
  • According to the flesh then, persecuted him who was born
  • 00:07:12.984 --> 00:07:14.553
  • Persecuted him who was born according to the spirit.
  • 00:07:14.619 --> 00:07:16.688
  • According to the spirit. even so, it is now.
  • 00:07:16.755 --> 00:07:18.590
  • Even so, it is now. so right now,
  • 00:07:18.657 --> 00:07:19.524
  • So right now, we are seeing that happened.
  • 00:07:19.591 --> 00:07:20.759
  • We are seeing that happened. that the people of the--
  • 00:07:20.825 --> 00:07:23.328
  • That the people of the-- according to the flesh,
  • 00:07:23.395 --> 00:07:24.329
  • According to the flesh, because to keep the law denotes
  • 00:07:24.396 --> 00:07:26.731
  • Because to keep the law denotes that you are under the flesh,
  • 00:07:26.798 --> 00:07:28.700
  • That you are under the flesh, because only by human effort
  • 00:07:28.767 --> 00:07:30.669
  • Because only by human effort can you keep the law.
  • 00:07:30.735 --> 00:07:32.370
  • Can you keep the law. but can you keep the law?
  • 00:07:32.437 --> 00:07:33.238
  • But can you keep the law? no, all right?
  • 00:07:33.305 --> 00:07:34.673
  • No, all right? it denotes the idea of,
  • 00:07:34.739 --> 00:07:36.942
  • It denotes the idea of, you shall not, you shall not,
  • 00:07:37.008 --> 00:07:38.076
  • You shall not, you shall not, you shall not means
  • 00:07:38.143 --> 00:07:39.711
  • You shall not means your efforts, amen.
  • 00:07:39.778 --> 00:07:41.680
  • Your efforts, amen. so when men try to keep the law,
  • 00:07:41.746 --> 00:07:42.747
  • So when men try to keep the law, they do the very opposite.
  • 00:07:42.814 --> 00:07:44.249
  • They do the very opposite. remember with israel, the foot
  • 00:07:44.316 --> 00:07:45.317
  • Remember with israel, the foot of mount sinai, they said that,
  • 00:07:45.383 --> 00:07:46.284
  • Of mount sinai, they said that, "all that god says, we will do
  • 00:07:46.351 --> 00:07:48.520
  • "all that god says, we will do it, we can do it actually."
  • 00:07:48.587 --> 00:07:50.355
  • It, we can do it actually." they boasted, and in exodus 19,
  • 00:07:50.422 --> 00:07:52.791
  • They boasted, and in exodus 19, when they said that,
  • 00:07:52.857 --> 00:07:54.392
  • When they said that, god had not yet even given them
  • 00:07:54.459 --> 00:07:56.294
  • God had not yet even given them the ten commandments.
  • 00:07:56.361 --> 00:07:57.562
  • The ten commandments. so they boasted that they
  • 00:07:57.629 --> 00:07:58.563
  • So they boasted that they are able to keep
  • 00:07:58.630 --> 00:07:59.397
  • Are able to keep all the ten commandments,
  • 00:07:59.464 --> 00:08:00.265
  • All the ten commandments, what happened?
  • 00:08:00.332 --> 00:08:01.299
  • What happened? they broke the very first one,
  • 00:08:01.366 --> 00:08:02.867
  • They broke the very first one, "thou shalt have no other gods
  • 00:08:02.934 --> 00:08:04.302
  • "thou shalt have no other gods before me."
  • 00:08:04.369 --> 00:08:05.070
  • Before me." next thing you see,
  • 00:08:05.136 --> 00:08:05.804
  • Next thing you see, you see a golden calf
  • 00:08:05.870 --> 00:08:06.605
  • You see a golden calf at the foot of mount sinai.
  • 00:08:06.671 --> 00:08:08.707
  • At the foot of mount sinai. so the attempt to want to keep
  • 00:08:08.773 --> 00:08:10.375
  • So the attempt to want to keep it, even the good intention,
  • 00:08:10.442 --> 00:08:14.145
  • It, even the good intention, it actually belies the fact
  • 00:08:14.212 --> 00:08:15.880
  • It actually belies the fact that man doesn't know
  • 00:08:15.947 --> 00:08:16.848
  • That man doesn't know he cannot, amen.
  • 00:08:16.915 --> 00:08:18.383
  • He cannot, amen. that whatever he does will be
  • 00:08:18.450 --> 00:08:19.818
  • That whatever he does will be born out of the flesh, and the
  • 00:08:19.884 --> 00:08:22.253
  • Born out of the flesh, and the flesh profiteth nothing, amen.
  • 00:08:22.320 --> 00:08:24.789
  • Flesh profiteth nothing, amen. the flesh cannot accomplish
  • 00:08:24.856 --> 00:08:26.791
  • The flesh cannot accomplish only what god can do
  • 00:08:26.858 --> 00:08:28.059
  • Only what god can do in and through us,
  • 00:08:28.126 --> 00:08:29.027
  • In and through us, praise god, amen.
  • 00:08:29.094 --> 00:08:30.462
  • Praise god, amen. so notice that it says
  • 00:08:30.528 --> 00:08:31.363
  • So notice that it says that ishmael was born after
  • 00:08:31.429 --> 00:08:33.298
  • That ishmael was born after human effort, persecuted isaac.
  • 00:08:33.365 --> 00:08:37.769
  • Human effort, persecuted isaac. okay, when did this happen?
  • 00:08:37.836 --> 00:08:39.938
  • Okay, when did this happen? when did this happen?
  • 00:08:40.005 --> 00:08:40.872
  • When did this happen? this happened during the time
  • 00:08:40.939 --> 00:08:42.807
  • This happened during the time when isaac was weaned from milk.
  • 00:08:42.874 --> 00:08:46.945
  • When isaac was weaned from milk. he's able now
  • 00:08:47.012 --> 00:08:47.612
  • He's able now to take solid food.
  • 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.180
  • To take solid food. do you remember that verse
  • 00:08:49.247 --> 00:08:50.215
  • Do you remember that verse in hebrews that says,
  • 00:08:50.281 --> 00:08:52.984
  • In hebrews that says, "he that uses milk is unskillful
  • 00:08:53.051 --> 00:08:56.087
  • "he that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness."
  • 00:08:56.154 --> 00:08:58.623
  • In the word of righteousness." so when they hear righteousness,
  • 00:08:58.690 --> 00:09:00.191
  • So when they hear righteousness, what do they think of?
  • 00:09:00.258 --> 00:09:01.259
  • What do they think of? action.
  • 00:09:01.326 --> 00:09:01.893
  • Action. i must do righteous,
  • 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.094
  • I must do righteous, to be righteous, amen.
  • 00:09:03.161 --> 00:09:04.963
  • To be righteous, amen. but the one who is mature,
  • 00:09:05.030 --> 00:09:06.431
  • But the one who is mature, when he hears it,
  • 00:09:06.498 --> 00:09:07.766
  • When he hears it, the one who is born again,
  • 00:09:07.832 --> 00:09:09.234
  • The one who is born again, the one who has come
  • 00:09:09.300 --> 00:09:10.101
  • The one who has come to maturity and sonship.
  • 00:09:10.168 --> 00:09:11.469
  • To maturity and sonship. when he hears
  • 00:09:11.536 --> 00:09:12.737
  • When he hears the word "righteousness,"
  • 00:09:12.804 --> 00:09:13.872
  • The word "righteousness," he knows it's a gift, amen.
  • 00:09:13.938 --> 00:09:15.807
  • He knows it's a gift, amen. it's a gift to be received.
  • 00:09:15.874 --> 00:09:17.108
  • It's a gift to be received. and that gift, when received,
  • 00:09:17.175 --> 00:09:18.610
  • And that gift, when received, will transform you, amen.
  • 00:09:18.677 --> 00:09:20.478
  • Will transform you, amen. it will transform your life,
  • 00:09:20.545 --> 00:09:22.113
  • It will transform your life, and cause you to reign in life,
  • 00:09:22.180 --> 00:09:23.615
  • And cause you to reign in life, praise god.
  • 00:09:23.682 --> 00:09:24.649
  • Praise god. so, the bible says that,
  • 00:09:24.716 --> 00:09:27.152
  • So, the bible says that, "someone who thinks
  • 00:09:27.218 --> 00:09:29.320
  • "someone who thinks of the word "righteousness"
  • 00:09:29.387 --> 00:09:30.355
  • Of the word "righteousness" as something that you do,
  • 00:09:30.422 --> 00:09:31.723
  • As something that you do, he's an infant, amen.
  • 00:09:31.790 --> 00:09:33.558
  • He's an infant, amen. he's still on milk,
  • 00:09:33.625 --> 00:09:35.960
  • He's still on milk, he's not ready for solid food.
  • 00:09:36.027 --> 00:09:38.096
  • He's not ready for solid food. okay.
  • 00:09:38.163 --> 00:09:39.097
  • Okay. so when was this persecution?
  • 00:09:39.164 --> 00:09:40.432
  • So when was this persecution? when did sarah see this
  • 00:09:40.498 --> 00:09:43.568
  • When did sarah see this ishmael persecuting isaac?
  • 00:09:43.635 --> 00:09:45.904
  • Ishmael persecuting isaac? let's look at genesis 21, "so
  • 00:09:45.970 --> 00:09:47.772
  • Let's look at genesis 21, "so the child grew and was weaned.
  • 00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:49.507
  • The child grew and was weaned. and abraham made a great feast
  • 00:09:49.574 --> 00:09:51.176
  • And abraham made a great feast on the same day
  • 00:09:51.242 --> 00:09:52.677
  • On the same day that isaac was weaned.
  • 00:09:52.744 --> 00:09:54.045
  • That isaac was weaned. and sarah saw the son of hagar
  • 00:09:54.112 --> 00:09:55.547
  • And sarah saw the son of hagar the egyptian, ishmael,
  • 00:09:55.613 --> 00:09:57.549
  • Whom she had borne to abraham,
  • 00:09:57.615 --> 00:09:58.550
  • Scoffing--" making fun of
  • 00:09:58.616 --> 00:10:00.118
  • "isaac," "therefore she said
  • 00:10:00.185 --> 00:10:01.720
  • To abraham, "cast out
  • 00:10:01.786 --> 00:10:03.288
  • This bondwoman and her son.
  • 00:10:03.354 --> 00:10:05.590
  • For the son of this bondwoman
  • 00:10:05.657 --> 00:10:07.258
  • Shall not be heir with my son,
  • 00:10:07.325 --> 00:10:09.360
  • Namely with isaac."
  • 00:10:09.427 --> 00:10:10.795
  • This is serious because
  • 00:10:10.862 --> 00:10:11.696
  • It's talking about inheritance.
  • 00:10:11.763 --> 00:10:13.665
  • It's talking about heirship.
  • 00:10:13.965 --> 00:10:15.633
  • It's talking about heirship. can you receive under the law?
  • 00:10:15.700 --> 00:10:18.336
  • Can you receive under the law? can you receive
  • 00:10:18.403 --> 00:10:19.437
  • Can you receive under human effort?
  • 00:10:19.504 --> 00:10:20.972
  • Under human effort? or we can only receive
  • 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.674
  • Or we can only receive by grace through faith, amen?
  • 00:10:22.741 --> 00:10:25.610
  • By grace through faith, amen? which is the one?
  • 00:10:25.677 --> 00:10:26.978
  • Which is the one? notice what sarah said.
  • 00:10:27.045 --> 00:10:29.447
  • Notice what sarah said. "'cast out the bondwoman
  • 00:10:29.514 --> 00:10:30.715
  • "'cast out the bondwoman and her son, ' she told abraham.
  • 00:10:30.782 --> 00:10:32.350
  • And her son, ' she told abraham. what she said in genesis
  • 00:10:32.417 --> 00:10:34.786
  • What she said in genesis became scripture.
  • 00:10:34.853 --> 00:10:37.055
  • Became scripture. and it's god's counsel
  • 00:10:37.122 --> 00:10:39.057
  • And it's god's counsel and god's command to all of us.
  • 00:10:39.124 --> 00:10:41.526
  • And god's command to all of us. let's go back to galatians
  • 00:10:41.593 --> 00:10:42.660
  • Let's go back to galatians and see this.
  • 00:10:42.727 --> 00:10:43.762
  • And see this. "nevertheless, what does the--"
  • 00:10:43.828 --> 00:10:45.196
  • "nevertheless, what does the--" not sarah, say,
  • 00:10:45.263 --> 00:10:46.464
  • Not sarah, say, "what does the scripture say?
  • 00:10:46.531 --> 00:10:48.600
  • "what does the scripture say? cast out the bondwoman
  • 00:10:48.666 --> 00:10:49.868
  • Cast out the bondwoman and her son."
  • 00:10:49.934 --> 00:10:50.668
  • And her son." god is saying, cast out
  • 00:10:50.735 --> 00:10:52.637
  • God is saying, cast out the entire system that comes
  • 00:10:52.704 --> 00:10:54.506
  • The entire system that comes from mount sinai and her son.
  • 00:10:54.572 --> 00:10:57.475
  • From mount sinai and her son. "for the son of the bondwoman
  • 00:10:57.542 --> 00:10:59.377
  • "for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir
  • 00:10:59.444 --> 00:11:00.645
  • Shall not be heir with the son of the free woman."
  • 00:11:00.712 --> 00:11:03.548
  • With the son of the free woman." so every time we are trying
  • 00:11:03.615 --> 00:11:04.549
  • So every time we are trying to receive, for example,
  • 00:11:04.616 --> 00:11:05.550
  • To receive, for example, we try to receive healing,
  • 00:11:05.617 --> 00:11:07.118
  • We try to receive healing, we try to receive
  • 00:11:07.185 --> 00:11:09.020
  • We try to receive this breakthrough in the area
  • 00:11:09.087 --> 00:11:11.122
  • This breakthrough in the area of our addictions, we try
  • 00:11:11.189 --> 00:11:12.690
  • Of our addictions, we try to receive something from god
  • 00:11:12.757 --> 00:11:14.192
  • To receive something from god that we want to receive,
  • 00:11:14.259 --> 00:11:15.193
  • That we want to receive, but we still feel
  • 00:11:15.260 --> 00:11:16.161
  • But we still feel we must qualify for it.
  • 00:11:16.227 --> 00:11:17.428
  • We must qualify for it. we don't trust his love,
  • 00:11:17.495 --> 00:11:18.863
  • We don't trust his love, we still feel that
  • 00:11:18.930 --> 00:11:20.431
  • We still feel that there's a part for me to play
  • 00:11:20.498 --> 00:11:22.433
  • There's a part for me to play there's a part for me to do.
  • 00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:23.701
  • There's a part for me to do. and then that causes you
  • 00:11:23.768 --> 00:11:24.903
  • And then that causes you to be doubting yourself.
  • 00:11:24.969 --> 00:11:26.738
  • To be doubting yourself. yet the more you doubt yourself,
  • 00:11:26.805 --> 00:11:27.939
  • Yet the more you doubt yourself, the more you want
  • 00:11:28.006 --> 00:11:28.673
  • The more you want to do to eradicate that guilt
  • 00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:31.576
  • To do to eradicate that guilt that you feel, that sense
  • 00:11:31.643 --> 00:11:32.911
  • That you feel, that sense of being far from god.
  • 00:11:32.977 --> 00:11:34.445
  • Of being far from god. all this is opposite
  • 00:11:34.512 --> 00:11:35.446
  • All this is opposite of the spirit of sonship.
  • 00:11:35.513 --> 00:11:38.750
  • Of the spirit of sonship. the bible says, "cast out
  • 00:11:38.817 --> 00:11:39.784
  • The bible says, "cast out the bondwoman and her son,
  • 00:11:39.851 --> 00:11:41.519
  • The bondwoman and her son, for that bondwoman,
  • 00:11:41.586 --> 00:11:43.888
  • For that bondwoman, that son of the bondwoman
  • 00:11:43.955 --> 00:11:45.023
  • That son of the bondwoman will not be heir
  • 00:11:45.089 --> 00:11:46.157
  • Will not be heir with the son of the free woman."
  • 00:11:46.224 --> 00:11:47.458
  • With the son of the free woman." only by grace can you inherit,
  • 00:11:47.525 --> 00:11:50.128
  • Only by grace can you inherit, amen.
  • 00:11:50.195 --> 00:11:50.795
  • Amen. it's serious when god says,
  • 00:11:50.862 --> 00:11:51.462
  • It's serious when god says, "cast out the bondwoman
  • 00:11:51.529 --> 00:11:52.330
  • "cast out the bondwoman and her son," amen.
  • 00:11:52.397 --> 00:11:54.833
  • And her son," amen. so, you know, when--think
  • 00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:56.568
  • So, you know, when--think about it, when did this happen?"
  • 00:11:56.634 --> 00:11:58.036
  • About it, when did this happen?" when isaac was weaned from milk
  • 00:11:58.102 --> 00:12:01.806
  • When isaac was weaned from milk for solid food.
  • 00:12:01.873 --> 00:12:03.041
  • For solid food. remember this, ishmael and isaac
  • 00:12:03.107 --> 00:12:05.009
  • Remember this, ishmael and isaac share the same father.
  • 00:12:05.076 --> 00:12:07.212
  • Share the same father. their father is abraham, right.
  • 00:12:07.278 --> 00:12:10.381
  • Their father is abraham, right. so again, the typology is this,
  • 00:12:10.448 --> 00:12:12.450
  • So again, the typology is this, you know, people who come
  • 00:12:12.517 --> 00:12:13.318
  • You know, people who come against grace, because
  • 00:12:13.384 --> 00:12:14.752
  • Against grace, because our mother is sarah, grace,
  • 00:12:14.819 --> 00:12:17.255
  • Our mother is sarah, grace, and ishmael, the group,
  • 00:12:17.322 --> 00:12:19.524
  • And ishmael, the group, the ishmael company,
  • 00:12:19.591 --> 00:12:22.126
  • The ishmael company, their people, is actually
  • 00:12:22.193 --> 00:12:23.461
  • Their people, is actually our brother in christ.
  • 00:12:23.528 --> 00:12:24.662
  • Our brother in christ. they share the same
  • 00:12:24.729 --> 00:12:25.763
  • They share the same heavenly father as us,
  • 00:12:25.830 --> 00:12:27.232
  • Heavenly father as us, but not the same mother.
  • 00:12:27.298 --> 00:12:29.734
  • But not the same mother. their mother is law, hagar,
  • 00:12:29.801 --> 00:12:32.103
  • Their mother is law, hagar, from mount sinai,
  • 00:12:32.170 --> 00:12:33.404
  • From mount sinai, and they will fight for her.
  • 00:12:33.471 --> 00:12:34.906
  • And they will fight for her. amen?
  • 00:12:34.973 --> 00:12:35.840
  • Amen? whereas they will say, right?
  • 00:12:35.907 --> 00:12:37.375
  • Whereas they will say, right? we are people
  • 00:12:37.442 --> 00:12:38.343
  • We are people that betrayed the truth
  • 00:12:38.409 --> 00:12:40.712
  • That betrayed the truth and we are preaching heresy,
  • 00:12:40.778 --> 00:12:42.914
  • And we are preaching heresy, when actually this is the truth
  • 00:12:42.981 --> 00:12:44.716
  • When actually this is the truth that will set you free, amen.
  • 00:12:44.782 --> 00:12:46.784
  • That will set you free, amen. we are, our mother is,
  • 00:12:46.851 --> 00:12:49.487
  • We are, our mother is, grace, sarah, amen.
  • 00:12:49.554 --> 00:12:52.023
  • Grace, sarah, amen. the one that god has chosen,
  • 00:12:52.090 --> 00:12:53.725
  • The one that god has chosen, amen.
  • 00:12:53.791 --> 00:12:54.492
  • Amen. and we are spiritual isaacs,
  • 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.729
  • And we are spiritual isaacs, so to speak.
  • 00:12:57.795 --> 00:12:58.596
  • So to speak. but notice that these brothers
  • 00:12:58.663 --> 00:12:59.931
  • But notice that these brothers of ours, they are still
  • 00:12:59.998 --> 00:13:00.965
  • Of ours, they are still our brothers.
  • 00:13:01.032 --> 00:13:02.333
  • Our brothers. we share the same
  • 00:13:02.400 --> 00:13:03.201
  • We share the same heavenly father,
  • 00:13:03.268 --> 00:13:04.202
  • Heavenly father, but not the same mother.
  • 00:13:04.269 --> 00:13:06.170
  • But not the same mother. amen.
  • 00:13:06.237 --> 00:13:07.338
  • Amen. so you can say that, you know,
  • 00:13:07.405 --> 00:13:08.806
  • So you can say that, you know, are you my brother or are you a
  • 00:13:08.873 --> 00:13:10.241
  • Are you my brother or are you a brother from another mother?
  • 00:13:10.308 --> 00:13:13.278
  • Brother from another mother? amen.
  • 00:13:13.344 --> 00:13:14.145
  • Amen. same father,
  • 00:13:14.212 --> 00:13:15.246
  • Same father, but not the same mama, right?
  • 00:13:15.313 --> 00:13:17.081
  • But not the same mama, right? our mama is grace.
  • 00:13:17.148 --> 00:13:18.583
  • Our mama is grace. their mama is hagar, law.
  • 00:13:18.650 --> 00:13:21.252
  • Their mama is hagar, law. okay, but the bible says what?
  • 00:13:21.319 --> 00:13:22.587
  • Okay, but the bible says what? "cast out the bondwoman
  • 00:13:22.654 --> 00:13:23.755
  • "cast out the bondwoman and her son,"
  • 00:13:23.821 --> 00:13:24.822
  • And her son," and the bible is very serious.
  • 00:13:24.889 --> 00:13:26.024
  • And the bible is very serious. as long as you are in that
  • 00:13:26.090 --> 00:13:27.058
  • As long as you are in that state, you cannot receive
  • 00:13:27.125 --> 00:13:29.260
  • State, you cannot receive from god, amen.
  • 00:13:29.327 --> 00:13:31.596
  • From god, amen. so a lot of us, we are trying
  • 00:13:31.663 --> 00:13:32.664
  • So a lot of us, we are trying to receive by being in a spirit
  • 00:13:32.730 --> 00:13:33.898
  • To receive by being in a spirit of slavery.
  • 00:13:33.965 --> 00:13:35.099
  • Of slavery. and the bible says, "even in the
  • 00:13:35.166 --> 00:13:36.200
  • And the bible says, "even in the promised land, you cannot
  • 00:13:36.267 --> 00:13:37.435
  • Promised land, you cannot inherit the promised land--"
  • 00:13:37.502 --> 00:13:39.070
  • Inherit the promised land--" this beautiful inheritance
  • 00:13:39.137 --> 00:13:41.673
  • This beautiful inheritance until you say, "my father."
  • 00:13:41.739 --> 00:13:44.776
  • Until you say, "my father." okay, praise the lord.
  • 00:13:44.842 --> 00:13:46.110
  • Okay, praise the lord. thank you, jesus.
  • 00:13:46.177 --> 00:13:47.612
  • Thank you, jesus. remember this, all this happened
  • 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.714
  • Remember this, all this happened when isaac was weaned.
  • 00:13:49.781 --> 00:13:53.484
  • When isaac was weaned. so i see prophetically, the
  • 00:13:53.551 --> 00:13:55.019
  • So i see prophetically, the whole church of jesus christ now
  • 00:13:55.086 --> 00:13:56.821
  • Whole church of jesus christ now coming into grace, they realized
  • 00:13:56.888 --> 00:13:58.890
  • Coming into grace, they realized that to have part grace,
  • 00:13:58.957 --> 00:14:01.492
  • That to have part grace, part law is mixture, amen.
  • 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.162
  • Part law is mixture, amen. it's trying to put the new wine
  • 00:14:04.228 --> 00:14:05.496
  • It's trying to put the new wine into the old wine skin.
  • 00:14:05.563 --> 00:14:06.931
  • Into the old wine skin. you will lose both.
  • 00:14:06.998 --> 00:14:08.499
  • You will lose both. amen.
  • 00:14:08.566 --> 00:14:09.334
  • Amen. you will lose the severity
  • 00:14:09.400 --> 00:14:10.268
  • You will lose the severity of the law and the freeness
  • 00:14:10.335 --> 00:14:11.402
  • Of the law and the freeness of grace.
  • 00:14:11.469 --> 00:14:12.370
  • Of grace. you will lose both,
  • 00:14:12.437 --> 00:14:13.037
  • You will lose both, you cannot mix the two.
  • 00:14:13.104 --> 00:14:13.738
  • You cannot mix the two. it's not balance.
  • 00:14:13.805 --> 00:14:14.839
  • It's not balance. what man calls balance,
  • 00:14:14.906 --> 00:14:16.307
  • What man calls balance, god himself calls mixture.
  • 00:14:16.374 --> 00:14:18.409
  • God himself calls mixture. jesus says it's mixture, amen.
  • 00:14:18.476 --> 00:14:20.445
  • Jesus says it's mixture, amen. you cannot put a new patch of
  • 00:14:20.511 --> 00:14:21.980
  • You cannot put a new patch of garment--a new patch of cloth
  • 00:14:22.046 --> 00:14:24.682
  • Garment--a new patch of cloth on an old garment.
  • 00:14:24.749 --> 00:14:26.718
  • On an old garment. it will tear.
  • 00:14:26.784 --> 00:14:27.919
  • It will tear. it will not work.
  • 00:14:27.986 --> 00:14:29.220
  • It will not work. okay?
  • 00:14:29.287 --> 00:14:30.421
  • Okay? you must cast out
  • 00:14:30.488 --> 00:14:31.155
  • You must cast out the old system.
  • 00:14:31.222 --> 00:14:31.923
  • The old system. you must be completely
  • 00:14:31.990 --> 00:14:32.724
  • You must be completely under grace, amen, to inherit.
  • 00:14:32.790 --> 00:14:35.193
  • Under grace, amen, to inherit. hallelujah.
  • 00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:36.461
  • Hallelujah. praise the lord.
  • 00:14:36.527 --> 00:14:37.462
  • Praise the lord. when did all this happen?
  • 00:14:37.528 --> 00:14:39.764
  • When did all this happen? when isaac was weaned.
  • 00:14:39.831 --> 00:14:40.765
  • When isaac was weaned. i believe the church right now
  • 00:14:40.832 --> 00:14:42.033
  • I believe the church right now is being weaned.
  • 00:14:42.100 --> 00:14:43.134
  • Is being weaned. and the church--this way,
  • 00:14:43.201 --> 00:14:44.268
  • And the church--this way, god is throwing a great feast.
  • 00:14:44.335 --> 00:14:45.703
  • God is throwing a great feast. can you hear the sound of music
  • 00:14:45.770 --> 00:14:47.105
  • Can you hear the sound of music and dancing?
  • 00:14:47.171 --> 00:14:48.339
  • And dancing? praise the lord.
  • 00:14:48.406 --> 00:14:49.173
  • Praise the lord. god is throwing a great feast,
  • 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:50.708
  • God is throwing a great feast, and all over the world, the body
  • 00:14:50.775 --> 00:14:52.377
  • And all over the world, the body of christ is realizing grace,
  • 00:14:52.443 --> 00:14:54.278
  • Of christ is realizing grace, amen.
  • 00:14:54.345 --> 00:14:55.046
  • Amen. it's a grace generation, amen.
  • 00:14:55.113 --> 00:14:56.981
  • It's a grace generation, amen. it's what i call
  • 00:14:57.048 --> 00:14:57.849
  • It's what i call the benjamin generation.
  • 00:14:57.915 --> 00:14:59.817
  • The benjamin generation. and for that, i just want to
  • 00:14:59.884 --> 00:15:00.952
  • And for that, i just want to call your attention to the fact
  • 00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:02.653
  • Call your attention to the fact that the bible, of all the
  • 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.156
  • That the bible, of all the characters in the bible,
  • 00:15:05.223 --> 00:15:06.190
  • Characters in the bible, the one that typified christ
  • 00:15:06.257 --> 00:15:07.825
  • The one that typified christ the most, amen, in its details
  • 00:15:07.892 --> 00:15:11.095
  • The most, amen, in its details is actually the person of joseph
  • 00:15:11.162 --> 00:15:13.598
  • Is actually the person of joseph in the book of genesis, amen.
  • 00:15:13.664 --> 00:15:15.199
  • In the book of genesis, amen. of course, we will see christ
  • 00:15:15.266 --> 00:15:16.667
  • Of course, we will see christ in the life of david.
  • 00:15:16.734 --> 00:15:17.869
  • In the life of david. we see christ in the life
  • 00:15:17.935 --> 00:15:19.037
  • We see christ in the life of moses.
  • 00:15:19.103 --> 00:15:20.304
  • Of moses. we see christ in the life of
  • 00:15:20.371 --> 00:15:22.240
  • We see christ in the life of isaiah, even elijah and elisha.
  • 00:15:22.306 --> 00:15:25.376
  • Isaiah, even elijah and elisha. but joseph typifies christ
  • 00:15:25.443 --> 00:15:28.012
  • But joseph typifies christ more than any of them, okay.
  • 00:15:28.079 --> 00:15:30.014
  • More than any of them, okay. now you look at joseph,
  • 00:15:30.081 --> 00:15:31.749
  • Now you look at joseph, he was loved by the father.
  • 00:15:31.816 --> 00:15:34.185
  • He was loved by the father. so is our heavenly father.
  • 00:15:34.252 --> 00:15:37.488
  • So is our heavenly father. he loved jesus, amen.
  • 00:15:37.555 --> 00:15:40.658
  • He loved jesus, amen. joseph was loved by the father
  • 00:15:40.725 --> 00:15:42.360
  • Joseph was loved by the father but rejected by his brothers.
  • 00:15:42.427 --> 00:15:44.095
  • But rejected by his brothers. now who were jesus's
  • 00:15:44.162 --> 00:15:45.963
  • Now who were jesus's earthly brothers?
  • 00:15:46.030 --> 00:15:47.965
  • The people of israel, amen.
  • 00:15:48.032 --> 00:15:49.700
  • And the birth of our lord jesus,
  • 00:15:49.767 --> 00:15:51.536
  • He came into israel.
  • 00:15:51.602 --> 00:15:53.171
  • When the fullness of time came,
  • 00:15:53.237 --> 00:15:55.706
  • God brought forth his son, made
  • 00:15:55.773 --> 00:15:58.076
  • God brought forth his son, made of a woman, made under the law,
  • 00:15:58.142 --> 00:16:00.211
  • Of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them
  • 00:16:00.278 --> 00:16:01.245
  • To redeem them that were under the law,
  • 00:16:01.312 --> 00:16:02.780
  • That were under the law, that we might receive sonship.
  • 00:16:02.847 --> 00:16:04.215
  • That we might receive sonship. so god sent his son, amen.
  • 00:16:04.282 --> 00:16:05.850
  • So god sent his son, amen. so the son always existed
  • 00:16:05.917 --> 00:16:07.251
  • So the son always existed with the father, amen?
  • 00:16:07.318 --> 00:16:09.020
  • With the father, amen? and they are one, but at
  • 00:16:09.087 --> 00:16:10.455
  • And they are one, but at the right time, the fullness
  • 00:16:10.521 --> 00:16:11.522
  • The right time, the fullness of time, the bible says,
  • 00:16:11.589 --> 00:16:12.557
  • Of time, the bible says, god sent his son, okay.
  • 00:16:12.623 --> 00:16:15.326
  • God sent his son, okay. so, his son came.
  • 00:16:15.393 --> 00:16:16.828
  • So, his son came. and the bible says
  • 00:16:16.894 --> 00:16:18.596
  • And the bible says that "jesus came to his own
  • 00:16:18.663 --> 00:16:20.798
  • That "jesus came to his own and his own received him not."
  • 00:16:20.865 --> 00:16:24.068
  • And his own received him not." amen.
  • 00:16:24.135 --> 00:16:24.969
  • Amen. so collectively,
  • 00:16:25.036 --> 00:16:25.903
  • So collectively, israel did not receive him.
  • 00:16:25.970 --> 00:16:26.938
  • Israel did not receive him. yes, there are those
  • 00:16:27.004 --> 00:16:27.638
  • Yes, there are those who receive him.
  • 00:16:27.705 --> 00:16:28.439
  • Who receive him. it goes on to say,
  • 00:16:28.506 --> 00:16:29.107
  • It goes on to say, "but as many as received him,
  • 00:16:29.173 --> 00:16:30.775
  • "but as many as received him, to them gave he power
  • 00:16:30.842 --> 00:16:32.376
  • To them gave he power to become the sons of god."
  • 00:16:32.443 --> 00:16:34.679
  • To become the sons of god." amen.
  • 00:16:34.745 --> 00:16:35.379
  • Amen. that's you and i as well.
  • 00:16:35.446 --> 00:16:36.214
  • That's you and i as well. praise god.
  • 00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:37.115
  • Praise god. but collectively as a nation,
  • 00:16:37.181 --> 00:16:38.483
  • But collectively as a nation, they rejected him, all right,
  • 00:16:38.549 --> 00:16:40.284
  • They rejected him, all right, in their leadership,
  • 00:16:40.351 --> 00:16:41.552
  • In their leadership, they rejected him.
  • 00:16:41.619 --> 00:16:42.920
  • They rejected him. and jesus with tears said,
  • 00:16:42.987 --> 00:16:45.056
  • And jesus with tears said, "oh jerusalem, jerusalem,
  • 00:16:45.123 --> 00:16:46.791
  • "oh jerusalem, jerusalem, how i wish i would have
  • 00:16:46.858 --> 00:16:47.758
  • How i wish i would have gathered you."
  • 00:16:47.825 --> 00:16:48.826
  • Gathered you." and that reminds me of the tears
  • 00:16:48.893 --> 00:16:49.827
  • And that reminds me of the tears of joseph over his brothers
  • 00:16:49.894 --> 00:16:51.462
  • Of joseph over his brothers as well.
  • 00:16:51.529 --> 00:16:52.463
  • As well. and let's go back to the story
  • 00:16:52.530 --> 00:16:53.998
  • And let's go back to the story of joseph once again.
  • 00:16:54.065 --> 00:16:55.099
  • Of joseph once again. so he's loved by the father
  • 00:16:55.166 --> 00:16:56.234
  • So he's loved by the father but rejected by his brothers,
  • 00:16:56.300 --> 00:16:58.436
  • But rejected by his brothers, and he was sold
  • 00:16:58.503 --> 00:16:59.837
  • And he was sold for 20 pieces of silver.
  • 00:16:59.904 --> 00:17:03.808
  • For 20 pieces of silver. jesus was betrayed
  • 00:17:03.875 --> 00:17:05.743
  • Jesus was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver.
  • 00:17:05.810 --> 00:17:09.881
  • For 30 pieces of silver. think of it.
  • 00:17:09.947 --> 00:17:11.015
  • Think of it. see, the story is so similar,
  • 00:17:11.082 --> 00:17:15.119
  • See, the story is so similar, amen, because god, you know,
  • 00:17:15.186 --> 00:17:17.688
  • Amen, because god, you know, god hides his son's story.
  • 00:17:17.755 --> 00:17:19.590
  • God hides his son's story. the story of his son,
  • 00:17:19.657 --> 00:17:20.458
  • The story of his son, it's all about his son, amen?
  • 00:17:20.525 --> 00:17:22.393
  • It's all about his son, amen? you know, if i come to your
  • 00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:23.394
  • You know, if i come to your house, and you start showing me
  • 00:17:23.461 --> 00:17:26.063
  • House, and you start showing me all your photo albums, okay, of
  • 00:17:26.130 --> 00:17:28.499
  • All your photo albums, okay, of all your son when he was young,
  • 00:17:28.566 --> 00:17:30.368
  • All your son when he was young, and your children,
  • 00:17:30.434 --> 00:17:32.904
  • And your children, your daughter,
  • 00:17:32.970 --> 00:17:33.771
  • Your daughter, and, you know, all your life
  • 00:17:33.838 --> 00:17:35.606
  • And, you know, all your life and your holidays and all that.
  • 00:17:35.673 --> 00:17:37.074
  • And your holidays and all that. and i sort of like
  • 00:17:37.141 --> 00:17:38.009
  • And i sort of like look far away.
  • 00:17:38.075 --> 00:17:39.110
  • Look far away. i'm not interested in all that.
  • 00:17:39.177 --> 00:17:40.311
  • I'm not interested in all that. very soon, you will know
  • 00:17:40.378 --> 00:17:41.879
  • Very soon, you will know to close the book, amen, why?
  • 00:17:41.946 --> 00:17:44.182
  • To close the book, amen, why? because i'm not interested.
  • 00:17:44.248 --> 00:17:45.716
  • Because i'm not interested. so the bible is nothing more
  • 00:17:45.783 --> 00:17:46.817
  • So the bible is nothing more than god's photo album
  • 00:17:46.884 --> 00:17:48.519
  • Than god's photo album of his son, amen.
  • 00:17:48.586 --> 00:17:50.488
  • Of his son, amen. as we look at it with
  • 00:17:50.555 --> 00:17:52.323
  • As we look at it with great interest, and delight,
  • 00:17:52.390 --> 00:17:54.258
  • Great interest, and delight, and asking god, "holy spirit,
  • 00:17:54.325 --> 00:17:55.993
  • And asking god, "holy spirit, open my eyes to behold jesus
  • 00:17:56.060 --> 00:17:57.862
  • Open my eyes to behold jesus in your word."
  • 00:17:57.929 --> 00:17:58.863
  • In your word." you know, god will open more
  • 00:17:58.930 --> 00:18:00.198
  • You know, god will open more and more.
  • 00:18:00.264 --> 00:18:00.932
  • And more. god will open more
  • 00:18:00.998 --> 00:18:01.532
  • God will open more and more to you, amen.
  • 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:02.633
  • And more to you, amen. praise the lord.
  • 00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:03.467
  • Praise the lord. so joseph was sold for 20 pieces
  • 00:18:03.534 --> 00:18:06.003
  • So joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver, jesus was betrayed,
  • 00:18:06.070 --> 00:18:07.838
  • Of silver, jesus was betrayed, or sold for 30 pieces of silver,
  • 00:18:07.905 --> 00:18:10.575
  • Or sold for 30 pieces of silver, and even though his brothers
  • 00:18:10.641 --> 00:18:12.777
  • And even though his brothers rejected him,
  • 00:18:12.843 --> 00:18:13.811
  • Rejected him, joseph became the bread of life
  • 00:18:13.878 --> 00:18:16.814
  • Joseph became the bread of life to the egyptian world,
  • 00:18:16.881 --> 00:18:18.816
  • To the gentiles, so to speak,
  • 00:18:18.883 --> 00:18:21.319
  • Amen, ready to feed the world.
  • 00:18:21.385 --> 00:18:24.055
  • Do you remember that the
  • 00:18:24.121 --> 00:18:26.023
  • Brothers of joseph, they were
  • 00:18:26.090 --> 00:18:27.525
  • Born of slave girls, bondwomen,
  • 00:18:27.592 --> 00:18:31.128
  • All right?
  • 00:18:31.195 --> 00:18:31.796
  • All right? like bilhah, zilpah,
  • 00:18:31.862 --> 00:18:34.398
  • Like bilhah, zilpah, and all the rest, except
  • 00:18:34.465 --> 00:18:35.700
  • And all the rest, except that jacob had two legal wives.
  • 00:18:35.766 --> 00:18:39.503
  • That jacob had two legal wives. leah, the first one, and rachel.
  • 00:18:39.570 --> 00:18:43.507
  • Leah, the first one, and rachel. now rachel's name means lamb.
  • 00:18:43.574 --> 00:18:46.043
  • Now rachel's name means lamb. so she's a picture of sarah,
  • 00:18:46.110 --> 00:18:48.512
  • So she's a picture of sarah, the new covenant, grace, amen.
  • 00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:50.948
  • The new covenant, grace, amen. leah came first, like the law
  • 00:18:51.015 --> 00:18:52.650
  • Leah came first, like the law came first before grace,
  • 00:18:52.717 --> 00:18:54.285
  • Came first before grace, because man needs to know
  • 00:18:54.352 --> 00:18:55.553
  • Because man needs to know that he cannot to see his need
  • 00:18:55.620 --> 00:18:57.555
  • That he cannot to see his need for the savior.
  • 00:18:57.622 --> 00:18:59.023
  • For the savior. god didn't bring grace first,
  • 00:18:59.090 --> 00:19:00.157
  • God didn't bring grace first, god brought the law first.
  • 00:19:00.224 --> 00:19:01.626
  • God brought the law first. the law came by a servant,
  • 00:19:01.692 --> 00:19:03.160
  • The law came by a servant, but grace and truth came
  • 00:19:03.227 --> 00:19:04.428
  • But grace and truth came by jesus christ, the son.
  • 00:19:04.495 --> 00:19:06.631
  • By jesus christ, the son. okay, so leah came first,
  • 00:19:06.697 --> 00:19:09.467
  • Okay, so leah came first, jacob married her first,
  • 00:19:09.533 --> 00:19:10.801
  • Jacob married her first, and, for leah,
  • 00:19:10.868 --> 00:19:12.903
  • And, for leah, a picture of the law, the rest
  • 00:19:12.970 --> 00:19:15.039
  • A picture of the law, the rest of the children actually
  • 00:19:15.106 --> 00:19:16.474
  • Of the children actually came from slave women,
  • 00:19:16.540 --> 00:19:19.443
  • Came from slave women, bondwomen, okay?
  • 00:19:19.510 --> 00:19:21.379
  • Bondwomen, okay? and all of them, that makes up
  • 00:19:21.445 --> 00:19:23.414
  • And all of them, that makes up the ten tribes of israel.
  • 00:19:23.481 --> 00:19:26.851
  • The ten tribes of israel. the two tribes,
  • 00:19:26.917 --> 00:19:27.652
  • The two tribes, there are 12 tribes of israel,
  • 00:19:27.718 --> 00:19:28.653
  • There are 12 tribes of israel, i know, but the two
  • 00:19:28.719 --> 00:19:30.021
  • I know, but the two are actually joseph
  • 00:19:30.087 --> 00:19:31.756
  • Are actually joseph as well as benjamin, okay?
  • 00:19:31.822 --> 00:19:34.825
  • As well as benjamin, okay? so who is joseph again?
  • 00:19:34.892 --> 00:19:36.160
  • So who is joseph again? our lord jesus, amen.
  • 00:19:36.227 --> 00:19:38.496
  • Our lord jesus, amen. and he shares the same mother
  • 00:19:38.562 --> 00:19:40.498
  • And he shares the same mother as benjamin.
  • 00:19:40.564 --> 00:19:41.399
  • As benjamin. who is benjamin?
  • 00:19:41.465 --> 00:19:42.500
  • Who is benjamin? that's the question.
  • 00:19:42.566 --> 00:19:43.134
  • That's the question. who is benjamin?
  • 00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:44.502
  • Who is benjamin? because whoever benjamin is,
  • 00:19:44.568 --> 00:19:46.070
  • Because whoever benjamin is, he shares the same mother,
  • 00:19:46.137 --> 00:19:47.204
  • He shares the same mother, not just the same father.
  • 00:19:47.271 --> 00:19:48.205
  • Not just the same father. in fact, all those born that
  • 00:19:48.272 --> 00:19:49.907
  • In fact, all those born that make up the 12 tribes of israel,
  • 00:19:49.974 --> 00:19:52.576
  • Make up the 12 tribes of israel, they were all born
  • 00:19:52.643 --> 00:19:53.978
  • They were all born of the same father, jacob.
  • 00:19:54.045 --> 00:19:56.414
  • Of the same father, jacob. in other words, they have the
  • 00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:57.748
  • In other words, they have the same father, just like isaac and
  • 00:19:57.815 --> 00:19:59.350
  • Same father, just like isaac and ishmael's story all over again.
  • 00:19:59.417 --> 00:20:01.719
  • Ishmael's story all over again. okay, they share the same father
  • 00:20:01.786 --> 00:20:03.020
  • Okay, they share the same father but not the same mother.
  • 00:20:03.087 --> 00:20:04.422
  • But not the same mother. their mother is a bondwoman.
  • 00:20:04.488 --> 00:20:07.124
  • Their mother is a bondwoman. okay, their mother is a picture
  • 00:20:07.191 --> 00:20:08.893
  • Okay, their mother is a picture of the law.
  • 00:20:08.959 --> 00:20:09.627
  • Of the law. leah, or the bondwomen,
  • 00:20:09.694 --> 00:20:12.196
  • Leah, or the bondwomen, that brought forth all the
  • 00:20:12.263 --> 00:20:16.133
  • That brought forth all the other sons, the ten sons.
  • 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.135
  • Other sons, the ten sons. notice ten, the number below.
  • 00:20:18.202 --> 00:20:19.970
  • Notice ten, the number below. the other two sons are joseph
  • 00:20:20.037 --> 00:20:21.439
  • The other two sons are joseph and benjamin, amen.
  • 00:20:21.505 --> 00:20:25.376
  • And benjamin, amen. so only joseph and benjamin was
  • 00:20:25.443 --> 00:20:27.178
  • So only joseph and benjamin was born from the lamb, because
  • 00:20:27.244 --> 00:20:30.147
  • Born from the lamb, because rachel's name means lamb, amen.
  • 00:20:30.214 --> 00:20:32.450
  • Rachel's name means lamb, amen. and we need to establish
  • 00:20:32.516 --> 00:20:34.452
  • And we need to establish who is benjamin, all right,
  • 00:20:34.518 --> 00:20:36.220
  • Who is benjamin, all right, because in the scriptures,
  • 00:20:36.287 --> 00:20:37.388
  • Because in the scriptures, the bible says
  • 00:20:37.455 --> 00:20:38.122
  • The bible says he's the most favored
  • 00:20:38.189 --> 00:20:39.090
  • He's the most favored of them all.
  • 00:20:39.156 --> 00:20:40.124
  • Of them all. he's the most loved
  • 00:20:40.191 --> 00:20:41.292
  • He's the most loved by the father,
  • 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.526
  • By the father, and the most loved by joseph,
  • 00:20:42.593 --> 00:20:46.397
  • And the most loved by joseph, by the heavenly joseph,
  • 00:20:46.464 --> 00:20:47.598
  • By the heavenly joseph, our lord jesus as well.
  • 00:20:47.665 --> 00:20:49.567
  • Our lord jesus as well. and when did benjamin
  • 00:20:49.633 --> 00:20:51.268
  • And when did benjamin make his appearance?
  • 00:20:51.335 --> 00:20:53.337
  • Make his appearance? during the time of famine.
  • 00:20:53.404 --> 00:20:54.739
  • During the time of famine. look at genesis 41, "so when all
  • 00:20:54.805 --> 00:20:57.608
  • The land of egypt was famished,
  • 00:20:57.675 --> 00:21:00.044
  • The land of egypt was famished, the people cried to pharaoh
  • 00:21:00.111 --> 00:21:01.612
  • The people cried to pharaoh for bread.
  • 00:21:01.679 --> 00:21:02.747
  • For bread. then pharaoh said to all the
  • 00:21:02.813 --> 00:21:03.948
  • Then pharaoh said to all the egyptians, 'go to joseph;
  • 00:21:04.014 --> 00:21:06.183
  • Egyptians, 'go to joseph; whatever he says to you, do.'"
  • 00:21:06.250 --> 00:21:09.854
  • Whatever he says to you, do.'" whatever he says to you, do.
  • 00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:13.057
  • Whatever he says to you, do. just like mary said
  • 00:21:13.124 --> 00:21:15.025
  • At the wedding of cana,
  • 00:21:15.226 --> 00:21:17.228
  • At the wedding of cana, when they ran out of wine,
  • 00:21:17.294 --> 00:21:19.230
  • When they ran out of wine, she said to all the servants,
  • 00:21:19.296 --> 00:21:20.498
  • She said to all the servants, "whatever jesus says to you,
  • 00:21:20.564 --> 00:21:22.600
  • "whatever jesus says to you, do it!"
  • 00:21:22.666 --> 00:21:23.701
  • Do it!" and friend, the water
  • 00:21:23.768 --> 00:21:24.735
  • And friend, the water will turn to wine.
  • 00:21:24.802 --> 00:21:26.303
  • Will turn to wine. sight will come to the blind.
  • 00:21:26.370 --> 00:21:28.506
  • Sight will come to the blind. amen.
  • 00:21:28.572 --> 00:21:29.473
  • Amen. you know friend, it was when
  • 00:21:29.540 --> 00:21:31.542
  • You know friend, it was when benjamin came before him,
  • 00:21:31.609 --> 00:21:33.411
  • Benjamin came before him, benjamin was already
  • 00:21:33.477 --> 00:21:34.211
  • Benjamin was already in existence when joseph
  • 00:21:34.278 --> 00:21:35.813
  • In existence when joseph was in the palace
  • 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:37.481
  • Was in the palace in egypt serving, right,
  • 00:21:37.548 --> 00:21:40.684
  • In egypt serving, right, as a viceroy, the second most
  • 00:21:40.751 --> 00:21:42.620
  • As a viceroy, the second most powerful man in all egypt.
  • 00:21:42.686 --> 00:21:46.690
  • Powerful man in all egypt. benjamin was growing up,
  • 00:21:46.757 --> 00:21:48.526
  • Benjamin was growing up, but yet, nothing happened until
  • 00:21:48.592 --> 00:21:52.496
  • But yet, nothing happened until benjamin came before joseph.
  • 00:21:52.563 --> 00:21:55.733
  • Benjamin came before joseph. so i just want to close
  • 00:21:55.800 --> 00:21:57.168
  • So i just want to close by saying this,
  • 00:21:57.234 --> 00:21:58.836
  • By saying this, benjamin generation,
  • 00:21:58.903 --> 00:22:02.673
  • Benjamin generation, he wants you to come close
  • 00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:04.175
  • He wants you to come close to him, he wants you
  • 00:22:04.241 --> 00:22:06.043
  • To him, he wants you to be in his presence.
  • 00:22:06.110 --> 00:22:07.244
  • To be in his presence. i know you want this blessing,
  • 00:22:07.311 --> 00:22:09.180
  • I know you want this blessing, you want this breakthrough,
  • 00:22:09.246 --> 00:22:10.080
  • You want this breakthrough, and sometimes you come to him
  • 00:22:10.147 --> 00:22:10.981
  • And sometimes you come to him to get a breakthrough,
  • 00:22:11.048 --> 00:22:12.283
  • To get a breakthrough, but you know something?
  • 00:22:12.349 --> 00:22:13.050
  • But you know something? he just wants you to come
  • 00:22:13.117 --> 00:22:13.984
  • He just wants you to come and see him, and to know
  • 00:22:14.051 --> 00:22:16.554
  • And see him, and to know that he has only grace for you,
  • 00:22:16.620 --> 00:22:19.156
  • That he has only grace for you, five times more for you.
  • 00:22:19.223 --> 00:22:20.891
  • Five times more for you. he only has gracious words
  • 00:22:20.958 --> 00:22:22.726
  • He only has gracious words for you.
  • 00:22:22.793 --> 00:22:23.761
  • For you. he wants to love on you.
  • 00:22:23.828 --> 00:22:26.197
  • He wants to love on you. will you allow him to love
  • 00:22:26.263 --> 00:22:27.331
  • Will you allow him to love on you?
  • 00:22:27.398 --> 00:22:28.599
  • On you? will you enjoy that love
  • 00:22:28.666 --> 00:22:30.367
  • Will you enjoy that love in his presence?
  • 00:22:30.434 --> 00:22:31.569
  • In his presence? it was when benjamin came to
  • 00:22:31.635 --> 00:22:34.038
  • It was when benjamin came to joseph that things began to turn
  • 00:22:34.104 --> 00:22:36.307
  • Joseph that things began to turn around, even for israel, amen.
  • 00:22:36.373 --> 00:22:38.843
  • Around, even for israel, amen. even for the nation of israel
  • 00:22:38.909 --> 00:22:39.944
  • Even for the nation of israel represented by the brothers,
  • 00:22:40.010 --> 00:22:41.245
  • Represented by the brothers, as well as today, those brothers
  • 00:22:41.312 --> 00:22:43.314
  • As well as today, those brothers that don't believe in grace,
  • 00:22:43.380 --> 00:22:45.049
  • That don't believe in grace, amen, having the same father
  • 00:22:45.115 --> 00:22:46.851
  • Amen, having the same father but not the same mother.
  • 00:22:46.917 --> 00:22:48.319
  • But not the same mother. well, they are turning around.
  • 00:22:48.385 --> 00:22:49.920
  • Well, they are turning around. everything starts
  • 00:22:49.987 --> 00:22:50.588
  • Everything starts turning around when
  • 00:22:50.654 --> 00:22:52.323
  • Turning around when benjamin comes before joseph.
  • 00:22:52.389 --> 00:22:55.459
  • Benjamin comes before joseph. i pray that has been
  • 00:22:55.526 --> 00:22:56.560
  • I pray that has been your delight when i open up
  • 00:22:56.627 --> 00:22:58.696
  • Your delight when i open up the story of joseph,
  • 00:22:58.762 --> 00:23:00.197
  • The story of joseph, because joseph reminds me
  • 00:23:00.264 --> 00:23:01.365
  • Because joseph reminds me of jesus.
  • 00:23:01.432 --> 00:23:02.500
  • Of jesus. and when you open up
  • 00:23:02.566 --> 00:23:03.534
  • And when you open up the story of joseph, the more
  • 00:23:03.601 --> 00:23:04.435
  • The story of joseph, the more you look at joseph, you know,
  • 00:23:04.502 --> 00:23:05.636
  • You look at joseph, you know, the more you see jesus.
  • 00:23:05.703 --> 00:23:07.104
  • The more you see jesus. how he interpreted the dreams
  • 00:23:07.171 --> 00:23:10.641
  • How he interpreted the dreams of the two men: one of them
  • 00:23:10.708 --> 00:23:13.677
  • Of the two men: one of them is a butler in the palace and
  • 00:23:13.744 --> 00:23:15.546
  • Is a butler in the palace and also the other one is a baker,
  • 00:23:15.613 --> 00:23:17.248
  • Also the other one is a baker, and two men, two thieves that
  • 00:23:17.314 --> 00:23:21.085
  • And two men, two thieves that probably stole from pharaoh, and
  • 00:23:21.151 --> 00:23:24.154
  • Probably stole from pharaoh, and he threw them into the dungeon.
  • 00:23:24.221 --> 00:23:26.056
  • He threw them into the dungeon. and joseph interpreted
  • 00:23:26.123 --> 00:23:27.525
  • And joseph interpreted their dream, right?
  • 00:23:27.591 --> 00:23:29.159
  • Their dream, right? one of them was a message
  • 00:23:29.226 --> 00:23:30.294
  • One of them was a message of life, the other one is death.
  • 00:23:30.361 --> 00:23:32.730
  • Of life, the other one is death. when jesus was crucified, there
  • 00:23:32.796 --> 00:23:34.265
  • When jesus was crucified, there were two thieves on either side,
  • 00:23:34.331 --> 00:23:36.066
  • Were two thieves on either side, and he gave a message of life
  • 00:23:36.133 --> 00:23:38.235
  • And he gave a message of life to one of them, amen.
  • 00:23:38.302 --> 00:23:40.004
  • To one of them, amen. praise the lord.
  • 00:23:40.070 --> 00:23:40.871
  • Praise the lord. so it's a picture of jesus
  • 00:23:40.938 --> 00:23:41.872
  • So it's a picture of jesus all across the story of joseph.
