  • "why am i bleeding? why am i suffering?"
  • 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.142
  • Why am i suffering?" but his concern was,
  • 00:12:10.209 --> 00:12:11.577
  • But his concern was, "why i've never
  • 00:12:11.644 --> 00:12:14.013
  • "why i've never had this feeling that
  • 00:12:14.079 --> 00:12:15.314
  • Had this feeling that the presence has left me?
  • 00:12:15.381 --> 00:12:18.684

  • The presence anymore." when the presence lifted
  • 00:12:22.755 --> 00:12:23.989
  • When the presence lifted and when the words
  • 00:12:24.056 --> 00:12:25.224
  • And when the words of his mouth ceased, he died.

  • Hallelujah. because if we preach the word.
  • 00:13:33.092 --> 00:13:34.994
  • Because if we preach the word. but the word is not enough
  • 00:13:35.060 --> 00:13:36.362
  • But the word is not enough by itself.
  • 00:13:36.428 --> 00:13:37.563
  • By itself. what do you mean?
  • 00:13:37.630 --> 00:13:38.831
  • What do you mean? there is a difference between --
  • 00:13:38.898 --> 00:13:41.433
  • There is a difference between -- the bible said,
  • 00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:42.434
  • The bible said, this is a bible verse,
  • 00:13:42.501 --> 00:13:43.702
  • This is a bible verse, "the letter killeth."
  • 00:13:43.769 --> 00:13:46.171
  • "the letter killeth." if all you have
  • 00:13:46.238 --> 00:13:47.339
  • If all you have over and over and over
  • 00:13:47.406 --> 00:13:49.241
  • Over and over and over is a steady diet of just
  • 00:13:49.308 --> 00:13:51.877
  • Is a steady diet of just hearing scriptures mumbled,
  • 00:13:51.944 --> 00:13:55.714
  • Hearing scriptures mumbled, and there's no anointing on it,
  • 00:13:55.781 --> 00:13:57.349
  • And there's no anointing on it, but when you put
  • 00:13:57.416 --> 00:13:58.150
  • But when you put his presence with the word,
  • 00:13:58.217 --> 00:14:01.921
  • His presence with the word, if you have singing,
  • 00:14:01.987 --> 00:14:03.555
  • If you have singing, and they're singing good words,
  • 00:14:03.622 --> 00:14:06.358
  • And they're singing good words, but you don't feel his presence,
  • 00:14:06.425 --> 00:14:08.294
  • But you don't feel his presence, there's no life in it.
  • 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:09.428
  • There's no life in it. and that's why all churches
  • 00:14:09.495 --> 00:14:11.363
  • And that's why all churches are not the same.
  • 00:14:11.430 --> 00:14:12.865

  • I know in my own life, as long as
  • 00:14:53.739 --> 00:14:54.306
  • As long as i'm activating the word,
  • 00:14:54.373 --> 00:14:57.509
  • I'm activating the word, when i feel myself getting dry,

  • We've got to keep confessing. don't ever lose the presence.
  • 00:15:12.057 --> 00:15:18.130
  • Jesus was stripped naked
  • 00:15:18.230 --> 00:15:21.266
  • Jesus was stripped naked on the cross.
  • 00:15:21.333 --> 00:15:23.135
  • On the cross. there was no loincloth.

  • There was no loincloth. it's not biblical.
  • 00:15:25.337 --> 00:15:27.573
  • It's not biblical. they stripped him
  • 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.707
  • They stripped him completely in shame,
  • 00:15:28.774 --> 00:15:31.343

  • The presence of god. he hid from the presence of god
  • 00:15:43.989 --> 00:15:46.625
  • He hid from the presence of god because the presence of god
  • 00:15:46.692 --> 00:15:48.861
  • Because the presence of god exposes sin.
  • 00:15:48.927 --> 00:15:51.497
  • Exposes sin. that's why we've got
  • 00:15:51.563 --> 00:15:52.431

  • 00:16:23.295 --> 00:16:25.564
  • That's why when god came into the garden
  • 00:16:25.631 --> 00:16:28.634
  • Came into the garden and the scripture said,
  • 00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:31.070
  • And the scripture said, adam said, "i heard your voice."
  • 00:16:31.136 --> 00:16:34.973
  • Adam said, "i heard your voice." and god said, "where are you?"
  • 00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:36.909
  • And god said, "where are you?" and he said, "i heard your voice
  • 00:16:36.975 --> 00:16:38.811
  • And he said, "i heard your voice and i was afraid."
  • 00:16:38.877 --> 00:16:42.781
  • And i was afraid." you see, i believe adam was
  • 00:16:42.848 --> 00:16:45.317
  • You see, i believe adam was clothed with the glory of god.
  • 00:16:45.384 --> 00:16:47.953
  • Clothed with the glory of god. how did he know he was naked?
  • 00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:50.222
  • How did he know he was naked? he said, "and i was naked
  • 00:16:50.289 --> 00:16:51.290
  • He said, "and i was naked and i was afraid."
  • 00:16:51.356 --> 00:16:53.058
  • And i was afraid." how did he know he was naked?
  • 00:16:53.125 --> 00:16:56.361
  • How did he know he was naked? he had to have had
  • 00:16:56.428 --> 00:16:57.329
  • He had to have had some reference to that.
  • 00:16:57.396 --> 00:16:58.464
  • Some reference to that. he had never seen anybody else.
  • 00:16:58.530 --> 00:17:01.200
  • He had never seen anybody else. how did he know that?
  • 00:17:01.266 --> 00:17:03.202
  • How did he know that? they knew they were naked
  • 00:17:03.268 --> 00:17:04.837
  • They knew they were naked because the glory of god had
  • 00:17:04.903 --> 00:17:07.339
  • Because the glory of god had lifted when they had sinned
  • 00:17:07.406 --> 00:17:10.742
  • Lifted when they had sinned and they were uncovered.
  • 00:17:10.809 --> 00:17:15.481
  • And they were uncovered. jesus on the cross,
  • 00:17:15.547 --> 00:17:18.150
  • Jesus on the cross, when he was dying,
  • 00:17:18.217 --> 00:17:20.452
  • When he was dying, it's significant that he was
  • 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:21.987
  • It's significant that he was naked at that moment because
  • 00:17:22.054 --> 00:17:24.756
  • Naked at that moment because it exposed him as the sins
  • 00:17:24.823 --> 00:17:27.793
  • It exposed him as the sins of the world to the father.
  • 00:17:27.860 --> 00:17:31.029
  • Of the world to the father. every sin ever committed,
  • 00:17:31.096 --> 00:17:33.165
  • Every sin ever committed, he took on in that moment.
  • 00:17:33.232 --> 00:17:37.936
  • He took on in that moment. don't ever lose the presence
  • 00:17:38.003 --> 00:17:39.404
  • Don't ever lose the presence because it reveals what's wrong.
  • 00:17:39.471 --> 00:17:43.775
  • Because it reveals what's wrong. the holy spirit brings

  • Things up, and when he brings things up,
  • 00:17:46.778 --> 00:17:48.580
  • And when he brings things up, that's the presence of god.
  • 00:17:48.647 --> 00:17:50.215
  • That's the presence of god. if you're beginning
  • 00:17:50.282 --> 00:17:51.683
  • If you're beginning to develop strongholds

  • To develop strongholds and the enemy's beginning
  • 00:17:54.086 --> 00:17:55.654
  • And the enemy's beginning to get you on a path
  • 00:17:55.721 --> 00:17:57.222
  • To get you on a path that is not right,
  • 00:17:57.289 --> 00:17:58.724
  • That is not right, the beauty of the presence

  • Was torn top to bottom, not bottom to top.
  • 00:21:31.770 --> 00:21:33.572
  • Not bottom to top. bottom to top would mean some
  • 00:21:33.638 --> 00:21:35.140
  • Bottom to top would mean some man got in there and tore it.
  • 00:21:35.207 --> 00:21:36.775
  • Man got in there and tore it. but when --

  • That thing was 40 feet high, it had to be god reaching down
  • 00:21:39.378 --> 00:21:41.513
  • It had to be god reaching down from heaven and saying,
  • 00:21:41.580 --> 00:21:42.914
  • From heaven and saying, "i'm tearing the veil.
