"You prepare a tablebefore me..."

before me..."That table that He prepares
00:01:37.110 --> 00:01:38.545
That table that He preparesis the Lord's table,
00:01:38.545 --> 00:01:40.380
is the Lord's table,holy communion.
00:01:40.380 --> 00:01:42.215
holy communion.And all that is in holy

And all that is in holycommunion is contained
00:01:44.951 --> 00:01:47.153
communion is containedin the 23rd Psalm.
00:01:47.153 --> 00:01:49.789
in the 23rd Psalm.The 23rd Psalm is the same
00:01:49.789 --> 00:01:53.126
The 23rd Psalm is the sametable as the Lord's table.
00:01:53.126 --> 00:01:54.060
table as the Lord's table.And I want to share with you

today the powerof the Lord's table,
00:01:58.932 --> 00:02:02.101
of the Lord's table,the power of communion.
00:02:02.101 --> 00:02:05.972
the power of communion.When I come to the Lord's table,
00:02:05.972 --> 00:02:06.906
When I come to the Lord's table,I need to approach
00:02:06.906 --> 00:02:10.176
I need to approachit with a fresh appreciation.
00:02:10.176 --> 00:02:12.779
it with a fresh appreciation.It must never become common.
00:02:12.779 --> 00:02:14.581
It must never become common.This table that is before me
00:02:14.581 --> 00:02:16.983
This table that is before metoday, the Lord's table,
00:02:16.983 --> 00:02:18.318
today, the Lord's table,the fruit of the vine,
00:02:18.318 --> 00:02:20.186
the fruit of the vine,the bread.

the bread.The last supper that Jesus
00:02:21.688 --> 00:02:23.489
The last supper that Jesushad with His disciples
00:02:23.489 --> 00:02:25.925
had with His disciplesis so significant to our faith
00:02:25.925 --> 00:02:26.526
is so significant to our faiththat I think,
00:02:26.526 --> 00:02:27.694
that I think,if we're not careful,
00:02:27.694 --> 00:02:28.661
if we're not careful,we will approach it
00:02:28.661 --> 00:02:30.063
we will approach itin a common manner...
00:02:30.063 --> 00:02:31.564
in a common manner...and it should not ever
00:02:31.564 --> 00:02:32.932
and it should not everbe approached without
00:02:32.932 --> 00:02:35.501
be approached withoutfull revelation of what
00:02:35.501 --> 00:02:39.072
full revelation of whatis involved in this meal.
00:02:39.072 --> 00:02:40.373
is involved in this meal.And I want to show you
00:02:40.373 --> 00:02:43.009
And I want to show youthe power of the Lord's meal
00:02:43.009 --> 00:02:47.780
the power of the Lord's mealtoday because this communion
00:02:47.780 --> 00:02:49.148
today because this communionmeal that we celebrate
00:02:49.148 --> 00:02:51.251
meal that we celebrateunder the New Testament
00:02:51.251 --> 00:02:52.885
under the New Testamentis the same
00:02:52.885 --> 00:02:54.320
is the samein the Old Testament
00:02:54.320 --> 00:02:57.090
in the Old Testamentas the Passover meal.
00:02:57.090 --> 00:02:58.024
as the Passover meal.You remember the story,
00:02:58.024 --> 00:02:58.925
You remember the story,when they were coming out
00:02:58.925 --> 00:03:00.727
when they were coming outof Egypt and God said,
00:03:00.727 --> 00:03:01.894
of Egypt and God said,"I want you to take a lamb
00:03:01.894 --> 00:03:03.830
"I want you to take a lamband prepare a meal"?
00:03:03.830 --> 00:03:04.964
and prepare a meal"?And He told them what to do
00:03:04.964 --> 00:03:05.798
And He told them what to doand He told them how
00:03:05.798 --> 00:03:07.066
and He told them howto eat that.
00:03:07.066 --> 00:03:08.468
to eat that.And He said that that would
00:03:08.468 --> 00:03:09.969
And He said that that wouldcause deliverance to come
00:03:09.969 --> 00:03:11.704
cause deliverance to cometo your family,
00:03:11.704 --> 00:03:12.905
to your family,it would cause deliverance
00:03:12.905 --> 00:03:14.474
it would cause deliverancefrom bondage and deliverance
00:03:14.474 --> 00:03:16.175
from bondage and deliverancefrom sickness and disease.
00:03:16.175 --> 00:03:18.144
from sickness and disease.Miracles happen at the Passover
00:03:18.144 --> 00:03:20.246
Miracles happen at the Passovermeal under the old covenant
00:03:20.246 --> 00:03:21.180
meal under the old covenantand Jesus,
00:03:21.180 --> 00:03:22.882
and Jesus,on the day of Passover
00:03:22.882 --> 00:03:23.983
on the day of Passoverin the New Testament,
00:03:23.983 --> 00:03:26.185
in the New Testament,entered into the communion
00:03:26.185 --> 00:03:28.688
entered into the communionmeal and He instituted
00:03:28.688 --> 00:03:29.989
meal and He institutedthe Lord's Supper,
00:03:29.989 --> 00:03:31.658
the Lord's Supper,which was the Old Testament
00:03:31.658 --> 00:03:33.026
which was the Old TestamentPassover meal.
00:03:33.026 --> 00:03:34.594
Passover meal.And if the Old Testament
00:03:34.594 --> 00:03:36.663
And if the Old Testamenthad that kind of power in it
00:03:36.663 --> 00:03:37.997
had that kind of power in itwhen they ate the meal,
00:03:37.997 --> 00:03:40.099
when they ate the meal,how much more does the one
00:03:40.099 --> 00:03:42.969
how much more does the onethat we have today?
00:03:42.969 --> 00:03:44.804
that we have today?When I think about the fact
00:03:44.804 --> 00:03:47.473
When I think about the factthat the 23rd Psalm is centered
00:03:47.473 --> 00:03:49.042
that the 23rd Psalm is centeredaround a shepherd,
00:03:49.042 --> 00:03:50.777
around a shepherd,"The Lord is my shepherd,"
00:03:50.777 --> 00:03:51.678
"The Lord is my shepherd,"and then of course,
00:03:51.678 --> 00:03:54.180
and then of course,in the 23rd Psalm
00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:55.682
in the 23rd Psalmis implied sheep.
00:03:55.682 --> 00:03:57.083
is implied sheep.If you have a shepherd,
00:03:57.083 --> 00:03:57.950
If you have a shepherd,and the sheep are going
00:03:57.950 --> 00:03:58.885
and the sheep are goingto lie down in green
00:03:58.885 --> 00:04:00.787
to lie down in greenpastures, there are sheep.
00:04:00.787 --> 00:04:01.654
pastures, there are sheep.And when I think of
00:04:01.654 --> 00:04:03.289
And when I think ofthe Lord's table,
00:04:03.289 --> 00:04:04.791
the Lord's table,when He said, "Thou preparest
00:04:04.791 --> 00:04:07.527
when He said, "Thou preparesta table before my enemies,"
00:04:07.527 --> 00:04:09.162
a table before my enemies,"there's a shepherd,
00:04:09.162 --> 00:04:10.630
there's a shepherd,the great Shepherd, Jesus,
00:04:10.630 --> 00:04:12.799
the great Shepherd, Jesus,who is always attracted
00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:14.000
who is always attractedto this table.
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.102
to this table.This table cannot be partaken
00:04:16.102 --> 00:04:17.303
This table cannot be partakenof without
00:04:17.303 --> 00:04:18.671
of withoutthe Shepherd's appearance.
00:04:18.671 --> 00:04:19.272
the Shepherd's appearance.As a matter of fact,
00:04:19.272 --> 00:04:20.039
As a matter of fact,when they took the
00:04:20.039 --> 00:04:20.873
when they took thePassover meal,
00:04:20.873 --> 00:04:22.575
Passover meal,your Bible said that
00:04:22.575 --> 00:04:23.910
your Bible said thatGod moved down from,
00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:25.545
God moved down from,through the mountains
00:04:25.545 --> 00:04:27.714
through the mountainsto the camp of Israel.
00:04:27.714 --> 00:04:29.315
to the camp of Israel.There is something about
00:04:29.315 --> 00:04:31.718
There is something aboutthe Lord's table that requires
00:04:31.718 --> 00:04:33.353
the Lord's table that requiresa bringing of a close
00:04:33.353 --> 00:04:35.121
a bringing of a closepresence of God.
00:04:35.121 --> 00:04:36.456
presence of God.That's why sometimes you feel
00:04:36.456 --> 00:04:38.591
That's why sometimes you feelsomething when you do communion,
00:04:38.591 --> 00:04:40.059
something when you do communion,and it's not just an emotion.
00:04:40.059 --> 00:04:42.161
and it's not just an emotion.There is a guaranteed
00:04:42.161 --> 00:04:43.062
There is a guaranteedpresence of God.
00:04:43.062 --> 00:04:44.263
presence of God.I know God is everywhere,
00:04:44.263 --> 00:04:45.365
I know God is everywhere,but He does not manifest
00:04:45.365 --> 00:04:47.033
but He does not manifestHis presence everywhere.
00:04:47.033 --> 00:04:48.234
His presence everywhere.But He said, "Anywhere this
00:04:48.234 --> 00:04:50.503
But He said, "Anywhere thisis entered into with full
00:04:50.503 --> 00:04:52.004
is entered into with fullknowledge of what you're doing,
00:04:52.004 --> 00:04:53.139
knowledge of what you're doing,My presence,"
00:04:53.139 --> 00:04:54.107
My presence,"the presence of the Shepherd,
00:04:54.107 --> 00:04:54.907
the presence of the Shepherd,"is there."
00:04:54.907 --> 00:04:56.442
"is there."The presence of the sheep
00:04:56.442 --> 00:04:58.911
The presence of the sheepare at the 23rd Psalm
00:04:58.911 --> 00:05:00.213
are at the 23rd Psalmand they're at this table,
00:05:00.213 --> 00:05:01.647
and they're at this table,because you and I are the sheep
00:05:01.647 --> 00:05:03.316
because you and I are the sheepof His pasture.
00:05:03.316 --> 00:05:04.984
of His pasture.Notice that in the 23rd Psalm,
00:05:04.984 --> 00:05:06.219
Notice that in the 23rd Psalm,"Thou anointest my head
00:05:06.219 --> 00:05:07.253
"Thou anointest my headwith oil,"
00:05:07.253 --> 00:05:08.454
with oil,"and that has a reference
00:05:08.454 --> 00:05:09.789
and that has a referenceto healing.
00:05:09.789 --> 00:05:12.392
to healing.And there is an anointing
00:05:12.392 --> 00:05:14.827
And there is an anointingat this table for healing.
00:05:14.827 --> 00:05:16.262
at this table for healing.In the Passover meal,
00:05:16.262 --> 00:05:17.397
In the Passover meal,the Bible said,
00:05:17.397 --> 00:05:18.531
the Bible said,"After they ate the meal,
00:05:18.531 --> 00:05:20.299
"After they ate the meal,there was not a sick or feeble
00:05:20.299 --> 00:05:21.734
there was not a sick or feebleone among them".
00:05:21.734 --> 00:05:23.636
one among them".When they left Egyptian bondage,
00:05:23.636 --> 00:05:25.938
When they left Egyptian bondage,something they ate in the meal,
00:05:25.938 --> 00:05:27.740
something they ate in the meal,it became the meal that heals.
00:05:27.740 --> 00:05:29.041
it became the meal that heals.And when we enter into
00:05:29.041 --> 00:05:32.011
And when we enter intothis meal, there is an abiding
00:05:32.011 --> 00:05:35.348
this meal, there is an abidinghealing anointing on this meal.
00:05:35.348 --> 00:05:38.017
healing anointing on this meal.Not only that, but in Psalms 23,
00:05:38.017 --> 00:05:39.318
Not only that, but in Psalms 23,there is a cup.
00:05:39.318 --> 00:05:41.053
there is a cup."My cup runneth over."
00:05:41.053 --> 00:05:43.689
"My cup runneth over."And we have the cup of the wine
00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:46.159
And we have the cup of the wineof the New Testament.
00:05:46.159 --> 00:05:47.693
of the New Testament.And not only was there a cup,
00:05:47.693 --> 00:05:49.829
And not only was there a cup,but there is restoration.
00:05:49.829 --> 00:05:51.564
but there is restoration."He restores my soul,"
00:05:51.564 --> 00:05:53.266
"He restores my soul,"in Psalms 23, and this
00:05:53.266 --> 00:05:55.301
in Psalms 23, and thisis a meal where God says,
00:05:55.301 --> 00:05:57.003
is a meal where God says,"I restore things".
00:05:57.003 --> 00:05:58.404
"I restore things".This is the meal
00:05:58.404 --> 00:05:59.405
This is the mealof restoration.
00:05:59.405 --> 00:06:00.473
of restoration.And then, he said,
00:06:00.473 --> 00:06:01.908
And then, he said,"Goodness and mercy,"
00:06:01.908 --> 00:06:04.143
"Goodness and mercy,"in Psalms 23, "will follow
00:06:04.143 --> 00:06:06.279
in Psalms 23, "will followme" and at this table
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.680
me" and at this tableis the goodness
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:08.948
is the goodnessand the mercy of God.
00:06:08.948 --> 00:06:10.149
and the mercy of God.And here's the point:
00:06:10.149 --> 00:06:12.752
And here's the point:when you partake of this meal
00:06:12.752 --> 00:06:15.788
when you partake of this mealwith faith, it activates...
00:06:15.788 --> 00:06:17.457
with faith, it activates...that's a big word...
00:06:17.457 --> 00:06:19.058
that's a big word...it activates all
00:06:19.058 --> 00:06:22.829
it activates allof the promises of God.
00:06:22.829 --> 00:06:24.330
of the promises of God.There were seven blessings
00:06:24.330 --> 00:06:25.898
There were seven blessingsthat God told Israel
00:06:25.898 --> 00:06:27.800
that God told IsraelHe would put on them after
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.302
He would put on them afterthey partook
00:06:29.302 --> 00:06:31.704
they partookof the Passover meal.
00:06:31.704 --> 00:06:32.839
of the Passover meal.For example, He said
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:33.773
For example, He saidthings like
00:06:33.773 --> 00:06:35.341
things like"you'll have long life".
00:06:35.341 --> 00:06:36.476
"you'll have long life".He said, "I'll send My
00:06:36.476 --> 00:06:37.510
He said, "I'll send Myangel before you".
00:06:37.510 --> 00:06:39.078
angel before you".He said, "I'll cause healing
00:06:39.078 --> 00:06:40.480
He said, "I'll cause healingto come to you".
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.781
to come to you".He said, "Prosperity would
00:06:41.781 --> 00:06:42.982
He said, "Prosperity wouldcome on you and you will
00:06:42.982 --> 00:06:44.283
come on you and you willbecome fruitful".
00:06:44.283 --> 00:06:45.318
become fruitful".He said, "If the enemies
00:06:45.318 --> 00:06:46.986
He said, "If the enemiescome at you one way,
00:06:46.986 --> 00:06:48.254
come at you one way,they will flee another because,"
00:06:48.254 --> 00:06:49.655
they will flee another because,"seven ways,
00:06:49.655 --> 00:06:50.923
seven ways,"because you will be under
00:06:50.923 --> 00:06:51.724
"because you will be underMy protection".
00:06:51.724 --> 00:06:52.725
My protection".That was under
00:06:52.725 --> 00:06:54.126
That was underthe Passover meal.
00:06:54.126 --> 00:06:55.261
the Passover meal.But Jesus,
00:06:55.261 --> 00:06:57.697
But Jesus,on the day of Passover,
00:06:57.697 --> 00:07:00.099
on the day of Passover,purposely had the Last Supper
00:07:00.099 --> 00:07:01.734
purposely had the Last Supperwith His disciples
00:07:01.734 --> 00:07:04.070
with His disciplesso He could institute this meal,
00:07:04.070 --> 00:07:05.705
so He could institute this meal,the Lord's table.
00:07:05.705 --> 00:07:07.440
the Lord's table.And all of those blessings
00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:10.843
And all of those blessingsare activated when we partake
00:07:10.843 --> 00:07:13.646
are activated when we partakeof this meal in faith.
00:07:13.646 --> 00:07:14.580
of this meal in faith.I want you to you think about
00:07:14.580 --> 00:07:17.316
I want you to you think aboutwhat I'm saying.
00:07:17.316 --> 00:07:20.987
what I'm saying.The Passover meal came about and
00:07:20.987 --> 00:07:21.821
The Passover meal came about and- You remember what God
00:07:21.821 --> 00:07:23.322
- You remember what Godtold them to do?
00:07:23.322 --> 00:07:24.423
told them to do?He said, "You are to slay
00:07:24.423 --> 00:07:26.492
He said, "You are to slaya lamb for your house,"
00:07:26.492 --> 00:07:27.760
a lamb for your house,"and He said, "you are to take
00:07:27.760 --> 00:07:29.295
and He said, "you are to takethe blood of the lamb
00:07:29.295 --> 00:07:31.797
the blood of the lamband you are to place it on
00:07:31.797 --> 00:07:34.100
and you are to place it onthe side posts of your door,"
00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:35.768
the side posts of your door,"paint it with blood
00:07:35.768 --> 00:07:38.137
paint it with bloodon the side post of the door,
00:07:38.137 --> 00:07:39.272
on the side post of the door,"and over the top
00:07:39.272 --> 00:07:40.973
"and over the toppost of the door.
00:07:40.973 --> 00:07:42.475
post of the door.You are to have blood..."
00:07:42.475 --> 00:07:44.277
You are to have blood..."So you would be covered
00:07:44.277 --> 00:07:45.778
So you would be coveredin the blood.
00:07:45.778 --> 00:07:47.046
in the blood.You would be surrounded
00:07:47.046 --> 00:07:48.080
You would be surroundedby the blood.
00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:49.148
by the blood.But He did not say,
00:07:49.148 --> 00:07:50.750
But He did not say,"Put blood on the threshold"
00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:52.051
"Put blood on the threshold"because the blood is never
00:07:52.051 --> 00:07:53.920
because the blood is neverto be trampled.
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:55.688
to be trampled.And here's the power of this.
00:07:55.688 --> 00:07:57.924
And here's the power of this.And God said, "When My angel,"
00:07:57.924 --> 00:07:59.191
And God said, "When My angel,"the death angel -
00:07:59.191 --> 00:08:00.192
the death angel -It was not a demon.
00:08:00.192 --> 00:08:01.661
It was not a demon.It was an angel.
00:08:01.661 --> 00:08:02.728
It was an angel.And the death angel,
00:08:02.728 --> 00:08:05.197
And the death angel,when he sees the blood on your
00:08:05.197 --> 00:08:08.200
when he sees the blood on yourdoor post, he, the death angel,
00:08:08.200 --> 00:08:10.503
door post, he, the death angel,will pass over your house.
00:08:10.503 --> 00:08:12.138
will pass over your house.The most powerful avenue
00:08:12.138 --> 00:08:13.506
The most powerful avenueof prayer that you can ever
00:08:13.506 --> 00:08:15.274
of prayer that you can everlearn to pray is when you
00:08:15.274 --> 00:08:18.377
learn to pray is when youapproach heaven this way,
00:08:18.377 --> 00:08:19.879
approach heaven this way,"Father, I come in the name
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.316
"Father, I come in the nameof Jesus and I plead
00:08:23.316 --> 00:08:26.118
of Jesus and I pleadthe blood of the Lamb".
00:08:26.118 --> 00:08:27.553
the blood of the Lamb".There's something about pleading
00:08:27.553 --> 00:08:28.788
There's something about pleadingthe blood of the Lamb.
00:08:28.788 --> 00:08:32.158
the blood of the Lamb.And listen, if a death angel
00:08:32.158 --> 00:08:35.227
And listen, if a death angelcould not cross the blood line,
00:08:35.227 --> 00:08:36.228
could not cross the blood line,then I know one thing
00:08:36.228 --> 00:08:37.496
then I know one thingfor sure.
00:08:37.496 --> 00:08:38.564
for sure.If an angel couldn't cross
00:08:38.564 --> 00:08:39.699
If an angel couldn't crossthe blood line,
00:08:39.699 --> 00:08:40.967
the blood line,the devil cannot cross
00:08:40.967 --> 00:08:42.535
the devil cannot crossthe blood line.
00:08:42.535 --> 00:08:43.903
the blood line.And there's power,
00:08:43.903 --> 00:08:46.806
And there's power,there's supernatural power
00:08:46.806 --> 00:08:49.909
there's supernatural powerat the Lord's table.
00:08:49.909 --> 00:08:52.345
at the Lord's table.I plead the blood.
00:08:52.345 --> 00:08:53.679
I plead the blood.He commanded them.
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.715
He commanded them.He said, "I want you to eat
00:08:55.715 --> 00:08:57.750
He said, "I want you to eatthe lamb at Passover."
00:08:57.750 --> 00:09:01.087
the lamb at Passover."And He said, "Eat all the lamb,"
00:09:01.087 --> 00:09:02.922
And He said, "Eat all the lamb,"in Exodus 12.
00:09:02.922 --> 00:09:04.657
in Exodus 12.Not bits and pieces.
00:09:04.657 --> 00:09:05.925
Not bits and pieces.Some acknowledge Jesus
00:09:05.925 --> 00:09:07.526
Some acknowledge Jesusas Savior, but they have not
00:09:07.526 --> 00:09:08.961
as Savior, but they have notmade Him Lord.
00:09:08.961 --> 00:09:10.997
made Him Lord.Savior's only found 33 times
00:09:10.997 --> 00:09:12.264
Savior's only found 33 timesin the Bible,
00:09:12.264 --> 00:09:14.533
in the Bible,but Lord is found 400 times.
00:09:14.533 --> 00:09:15.534
but Lord is found 400 times.And there's a difference
00:09:15.534 --> 00:09:17.203
And there's a differencebetween Savior and Lord.
00:09:17.203 --> 00:09:18.104
between Savior and Lord.Savior means
00:09:18.104 --> 00:09:19.505
Savior meansI've got fire insurance;
00:09:19.505 --> 00:09:20.940
I've got fire insurance;I know I'm not going to hell.
00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:22.575
I know I'm not going to hell.But He's not Lord of anything
00:09:22.575 --> 00:09:23.509
But He's not Lord of anythingin my life.
00:09:23.509 --> 00:09:25.177
in my life.I do whatever I want to do
00:09:25.177 --> 00:09:26.379
I do whatever I want to doand I still have Him
00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:28.180
and I still have Himas my insurance blanket
00:09:28.180 --> 00:09:29.682
as my insurance blanketor my insurance clause.
00:09:29.682 --> 00:09:31.250
or my insurance clause.But listen to me.
00:09:31.250 --> 00:09:32.585
But listen to me.If you want joy,
00:09:32.585 --> 00:09:35.421
If you want joy,He said, "Eat all of it".
00:09:35.421 --> 00:09:37.490
He said, "Eat all of it".I don't just want Him as Savior.
00:09:37.490 --> 00:09:39.225
I don't just want Him as Savior.I want Him Lord of my life.
00:09:39.225 --> 00:09:40.292
I want Him Lord of my life.I want the open doors
00:09:40.292 --> 00:09:41.794
I want the open doorsand I want the closed doors.
00:09:41.794 --> 00:09:43.129
and I want the closed doors.I want the yeses
00:09:43.129 --> 00:09:44.196
I want the yesesand I want the nos.
00:09:44.196 --> 00:09:45.865
and I want the nos.I want the people He brings
00:09:45.865 --> 00:09:46.766
I want the people He bringsand I want the people
00:09:46.766 --> 00:09:48.501
and I want the peopleHe says are not good for me.
00:09:48.501 --> 00:09:50.102
He says are not good for me.And when you say, "Jesus..."
00:09:50.102 --> 00:09:52.471
And when you say, "Jesus..."This is not the Savior's table.
00:09:52.471 --> 00:09:53.873
This is not the Savior's table.It's called the Lord's table.
00:09:53.873 --> 00:09:54.874
It's called the Lord's table.And it's because
00:09:54.874 --> 00:09:56.108
And it's becauseHe must be Lord.
00:09:56.108 --> 00:09:57.209
He must be Lord."Eat it all."
00:09:57.209 --> 00:09:58.744
"Eat it all."I don't just want salvation.
00:09:58.744 --> 00:10:00.813
I don't just want salvation.I see baptism in the Holy Ghost
00:10:00.813 --> 00:10:01.981
I see baptism in the Holy Ghoston that table.
00:10:01.981 --> 00:10:03.149
on that table.I see deliverance
00:10:03.149 --> 00:10:04.817
I see deliverancefrom every addiction
00:10:04.817 --> 00:10:05.918
from every addictionon that table.
00:10:05.918 --> 00:10:08.287
on that table.I see purity and integrity
00:10:08.287 --> 00:10:09.755
I see purity and integrityon that table.
00:10:09.755 --> 00:10:12.458
on that table.I see prosperity on that table.
00:10:12.458 --> 00:10:15.227
I see prosperity on that table.I see freedom on that table.
00:10:15.227 --> 00:10:16.629
I see freedom on that table.And don't take bits
00:10:16.629 --> 00:10:18.197
And don't take bitsand pieces of it.
00:10:18.197 --> 00:10:20.132
and pieces of it.Eat it all.
00:10:20.132 --> 00:10:22.134
Eat it all.Eat it all.
00:10:22.134 --> 00:10:23.736
Eat it all.Think about this:
00:10:23.736 --> 00:10:25.438
Think about this:the Lord's table,
00:10:25.438 --> 00:10:26.939
the Lord's table,the communion meal,
00:10:26.939 --> 00:10:29.742
the communion meal,is the only thing of faith
00:10:29.742 --> 00:10:30.943
is the only thing of faiththat we're told
00:10:30.943 --> 00:10:32.478
that we're toldto physically touch.
00:10:32.478 --> 00:10:34.313
to physically touch.Every other thing in that Bible,
00:10:34.313 --> 00:10:36.215
Every other thing in that Bible,He says, "You walk by faith,"
00:10:36.215 --> 00:10:37.516
He says, "You walk by faith,"not by what you can see
00:10:37.516 --> 00:10:38.617
not by what you can seeand touch.
00:10:38.617 --> 00:10:41.220
and touch.But when it comes to this table,
00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:42.688
But when it comes to this table,God says, "There's something
00:10:42.688 --> 00:10:44.190
God says, "There's somethingdifferent about this table".
00:10:44.190 --> 00:10:45.725
different about this table".It's the only place He makes
00:10:45.725 --> 00:10:49.995
It's the only place He makesactive faith visible.
00:10:49.995 --> 00:10:52.231
active faith visible."I want you to come
00:10:52.231 --> 00:10:54.500
"I want you to comeand I want you to hold the bread
00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:57.136
and I want you to hold the breadand touch the bread,"
00:10:57.136 --> 00:10:59.472
and touch the bread,"and it is a physical thing
00:10:59.472 --> 00:11:02.208
and it is a physical thingthat you are touching
00:11:02.208 --> 00:11:03.609
that you are touchingthat will activate these
00:11:03.609 --> 00:11:04.844
that will activate theseblessings when you
00:11:04.844 --> 00:11:06.712
blessings when youpartake of it.
00:11:06.712 --> 00:11:08.914
partake of it."I want you to hold the cup.
00:11:08.914 --> 00:11:10.549
"I want you to hold the cup.I want you to drink the fruit
00:11:10.549 --> 00:11:11.650
I want you to drink the fruitof the vine.
00:11:11.650 --> 00:11:13.052
of the vine.And when you drink it,
00:11:13.052 --> 00:11:14.587
And when you drink it,I want you to understand
00:11:14.587 --> 00:11:16.055
I want you to understandwhat you are touching
00:11:16.055 --> 00:11:17.523
what you are touchingand what you are seeing."
00:11:17.523 --> 00:11:18.724
and what you are seeing."Every other thing,
00:11:18.724 --> 00:11:19.925
Every other thing,you walk by faith;
00:11:19.925 --> 00:11:21.193
you walk by faith;but this is a moment
00:11:21.193 --> 00:11:23.062
but this is a momentwhen your faith actually
00:11:23.062 --> 00:11:24.730
when your faith actuallyis to be connected
00:11:24.730 --> 00:11:25.998
is to be connectedto physical things
00:11:25.998 --> 00:11:27.600
to physical thingsthat you can see that represent
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:28.801
that you can see that representHis blood and His body.
00:11:28.801 --> 00:11:30.236
His blood and His body.And really, what He's saying is
00:11:30.236 --> 00:11:33.105
And really, what He's saying is"just as I was the Word

00:17:51.183 --> 00:17:52.684
put salt water and certainherbs that they would put
00:17:52.684 --> 00:17:54.086
herbs that they would putin there, and they would
00:17:54.086 --> 00:17:55.220
in there, and they wouldput it in salt water,
00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:56.488
put it in salt water,representing the tears
00:17:56.488 --> 00:17:58.457
representing the tearsthat they cried
00:17:58.457 --> 00:18:00.259
that they criedin Egyptian bondage.
00:18:00.259 --> 00:18:01.627
in Egyptian bondage.And the point is this:
00:18:01.627 --> 00:18:04.530
And the point is this:the bitterness of life are real
00:18:04.530 --> 00:18:06.331
the bitterness of life are realand they come to all of us,
00:18:06.331 --> 00:18:08.200
and they come to all of us,the bitter things that happen
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.069
the bitter things that happenthat change everything
00:18:11.069 --> 00:18:12.304
that change everythingin your life,
00:18:12.304 --> 00:18:14.907
in your life,but they're just a side dish.
00:18:14.907 --> 00:18:16.175
but they're just a side dish.And the key to overcoming
00:18:16.175 --> 00:18:18.510
And the key to overcomingthe side dish is to eat
00:18:18.510 --> 00:18:19.611
the side dish is to eatthe main meal,
00:18:19.611 --> 00:18:20.979
the main meal,which is the lamb,
00:18:20.979 --> 00:18:22.781
which is the lamb,and the sweetness of the lamb
00:18:22.781 --> 00:18:25.717
and the sweetness of the lambwill even out the side dish
00:18:25.717 --> 00:18:26.852
will even out the side dishof bitterness that life
00:18:26.852 --> 00:18:28.487
of bitterness that lifeserves you, that whatever
00:18:28.487 --> 00:18:29.888
serves you, that whateverbitter thing that could
00:18:29.888 --> 00:18:32.057
bitter thing that couldturn you mean and ugly
00:18:32.057 --> 00:18:33.959
turn you mean and uglyor just hard and cold,
00:18:33.959 --> 00:18:36.195
or just hard and cold,instead, you keep eating
00:18:36.195 --> 00:18:37.396
instead, you keep eatingall of the lamb.
00:18:37.396 --> 00:18:38.964
all of the lamb.You get full of the lamb
00:18:38.964 --> 00:18:40.465
You get full of the lamband the bitter things get
00:18:40.465 --> 00:18:41.800
and the bitter things getevened out with the
00:18:41.800 --> 00:18:47.606
evened out with thesweetness of the lamb.
00:18:47.606 --> 00:18:48.640
sweetness of the lamb.That's the power
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.276
That's the powerof the Lord's table.
00:18:51.276 --> 00:18:52.311
of the Lord's table.He said, "Now, there's going
00:18:52.311 --> 00:18:53.979
He said, "Now, there's goingto come generations on down
00:18:53.979 --> 00:18:55.547
to come generations on downthe road who weren't there
00:18:55.547 --> 00:18:57.049
the road who weren't thereat the Passover when
00:18:57.049 --> 00:18:59.051
at the Passover whenyou came out of Egypt.
00:18:59.051 --> 00:18:59.885
you came out of Egypt.And the children are going
00:18:59.885 --> 00:19:01.053
And the children are goingto ask, What does this
00:19:01.053 --> 00:19:03.355
to ask, What does thismeal mean?"
00:19:03.355 --> 00:19:06.291
meal mean?"And he said, "You are to,
00:19:06.291 --> 00:19:07.993
And he said, "You are to,you are to take them back
00:19:07.993 --> 00:19:12.164
you are to take them backand teach them how you
00:19:12.164 --> 00:19:15.734
and teach them how youwere brought out at this meal."
00:19:15.734 --> 00:19:19.905
were brought out at this meal."This is a generational meal.
00:19:19.905 --> 00:19:22.608
This is a generational meal.I want families to have
00:19:22.608 --> 00:19:24.042
I want families to havethis meal together.
00:19:24.042 --> 00:19:25.110
this meal together.Listen to this.
00:19:25.110 --> 00:19:26.678
Listen to this.And Jesus said a powerful
00:19:26.678 --> 00:19:29.481
And Jesus said a powerfulthing right here.
00:19:29.481 --> 00:19:30.616
thing right here."As often as you do this,
00:19:30.616 --> 00:19:31.883
"As often as you do this,you do this in remembrance
00:19:31.883 --> 00:19:32.684
you do this in remembranceof Me."
00:19:32.684 --> 00:19:33.752
of Me."Now, watch this.
00:19:33.752 --> 00:19:34.786
Now, watch this.The opposite of the word
00:19:34.786 --> 00:19:38.056
The opposite of the wordremember is dismember.
00:19:38.056 --> 00:19:39.358
remember is dismember.Dismember means to be
00:19:39.358 --> 00:19:41.159
Dismember means to bepulled apart.
00:19:41.159 --> 00:19:43.428
pulled apart.So if there is anything
00:19:43.428 --> 00:19:45.130
So if there is anythingthat has happened in a family
00:19:45.130 --> 00:19:47.499
that has happened in a familythat was united
00:19:47.499 --> 00:19:50.435
that was unitedand one together,
00:19:50.435 --> 00:19:51.670
and one together,and maybe a disagreement
00:19:51.670 --> 00:19:52.704
and maybe a disagreementhappened and there
00:19:52.704 --> 00:19:56.541
happened and thereis a dismembering,
00:19:56.541 --> 00:19:57.943
is a dismembering,when you come to this table,
00:19:57.943 --> 00:20:00.712
when you come to this table,there is a supernatural power
00:20:00.712 --> 00:20:02.080
there is a supernatural powerto remember
00:20:02.080 --> 00:20:06.985
to rememberwhat has been dismembered.
00:20:06.985 --> 00:20:08.320
what has been dismembered.Whatever disagreements,
00:20:08.320 --> 00:20:10.789
Whatever disagreements,whatever things that have
00:20:10.789 --> 00:20:11.990
whatever things that havehit your family,
00:20:11.990 --> 00:20:12.958
hit your family,that are tearing
00:20:12.958 --> 00:20:14.059
that are tearingyour marriage apart,
00:20:14.059 --> 00:20:15.994
your marriage apart,tearing your family apart,
00:20:15.994 --> 00:20:17.429
tearing your family apart,tearing your relationships
00:20:17.429 --> 00:20:19.998
tearing your relationshipsthat you care so much apart --
00:20:19.998 --> 00:20:20.832
that you care so much apart --He says,
00:20:20.832 --> 00:20:22.601
He says,"When you come to My table,
00:20:22.601 --> 00:20:24.703
"When you come to My table,there is a mysterious power
00:20:24.703 --> 00:20:26.738
there is a mysterious poweron this meal
00:20:26.738 --> 00:20:28.040
on this mealthat it can take things
00:20:28.040 --> 00:20:30.709
that it can take thingsthat are dismembered
00:20:30.709 --> 00:20:37.816
that are dismemberedand it can remember them."
00:20:37.816 --> 00:20:39.251
and it can remember them."I'm talking to backsliders
00:20:39.251 --> 00:20:40.986
I'm talking to backsliderswatching me by television
00:20:40.986 --> 00:20:42.788
watching me by televisionand all over this room
00:20:42.788 --> 00:20:44.690
and all over this roomand at every campus who have
00:20:44.690 --> 00:20:47.159
and at every campus who havebeen dismembered.
00:20:47.159 --> 00:20:53.098
been dismembered.You've fallen so far away.
00:20:53.098 --> 00:20:56.501
You've fallen so far away.But if you will, in humility,
00:20:56.501 --> 00:20:59.204
But if you will, in humility,approach this table today,
00:20:59.204 --> 00:21:02.674
approach this table today,God says, "I will remember
00:21:02.674 --> 00:21:04.776
God says, "I will rememberthose who have been dismembered
00:21:04.776 --> 00:21:10.782
those who have been dismemberedby shame and guilt and sin."
00:21:10.782 --> 00:21:11.783
by shame and guilt and sin."He says that all
00:21:11.783 --> 00:21:12.684
He says that allthat they had in that
00:21:12.684 --> 00:21:14.920
that they had in thatupper room with the disciples,
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.090
upper room with the disciples,when Jesus had the last supper,
00:21:18.090 --> 00:21:19.358
when Jesus had the last supper,all that we're told
00:21:19.358 --> 00:21:24.262
all that we're toldis bread and wine,
00:21:24.262 --> 00:21:25.831
is bread and wine,the fruit of the vine.
00:21:25.831 --> 00:21:26.798
the fruit of the vine.That's it.
00:21:26.798 --> 00:21:27.799
That's it.No lamb.
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:29.000
No lamb.Matthew, Mark, Luke,
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.503
Matthew, Mark, Luke,and John...no lamb is mentioned.
00:21:31.503 --> 00:21:35.307
and John...no lamb is mentioned.There was no lamb in the meal.
00:21:35.307 --> 00:21:38.477
There was no lamb in the meal.But the Passover had lamb.
00:21:38.477 --> 00:21:40.145
But the Passover had lamb.Why?
00:21:40.145 --> 00:21:41.613
Why?Where was the lamb?
00:21:41.613 --> 00:21:45.117
Where was the lamb?The lamb was not on the table,
00:21:45.117 --> 00:21:46.017
The lamb was not on the table,the Lamb was sitting
00:21:46.017 --> 00:21:48.887
the Lamb was sittingat the table.
00:21:48.887 --> 00:21:51.123
at the table.But 24 hours from that moment,
00:21:51.123 --> 00:21:53.191
But 24 hours from that moment,they would drag Him out
00:21:53.191 --> 00:21:56.928
they would drag Him outand hang Him on a cross.
00:21:56.928 --> 00:22:01.099
and hang Him on a cross.And the Lamb would be crucified.
00:22:01.099 --> 00:22:03.702
And the Lamb would be crucified.And any time -- Let me tell
00:22:03.702 --> 00:22:05.504
And any time -- Let me tellyou the mystery of this meal.
00:22:05.504 --> 00:22:07.506
you the mystery of this meal.Any time you come to this table,
00:22:07.506 --> 00:22:08.540
Any time you come to this table,you cannot approach it
00:22:08.540 --> 00:22:09.741
you cannot approach itwithout the Lamb being
00:22:09.741 --> 00:22:12.477
without the Lamb beingon the table and at the table.
00:22:12.477 --> 00:22:14.045
on the table and at the table.He is here.
00:22:14.045 --> 00:22:15.747
He is here.I know He's everywhere,
00:22:15.747 --> 00:22:16.681
I know He's everywhere,but He doesn't manifest
00:22:16.681 --> 00:22:17.849
but He doesn't manifesteverywhere, but wherever
00:22:17.849 --> 00:22:19.151
everywhere, but whereveryou approach it with
00:22:19.151 --> 00:22:20.552
you approach it withrevelation of what I'm sharing
00:22:20.552 --> 00:22:24.689
revelation of what I'm sharingwith you, He is here.
00:22:24.689 --> 00:22:26.591
with you, He is here.Not only that,
00:22:26.591 --> 00:22:30.362
Not only that,there's a mysterious recipe
00:22:30.362 --> 00:22:33.999
there's a mysterious recipein the wine,
00:22:33.999 --> 00:22:37.402
in the wine,because if you've ever busted
00:22:37.402 --> 00:22:39.204
because if you've ever bustedyour nose and had it drip
00:22:39.204 --> 00:22:41.540
your nose and had it dripon a white shirt -
00:22:41.540 --> 00:22:42.474
on a white shirt -There's a crazy verse
00:22:42.474 --> 00:22:43.542
There's a crazy versein John that says,
00:22:43.542 --> 00:22:44.843
in John that says,"If you confess your sins,
00:22:44.843 --> 00:22:45.911
"If you confess your sins,He's faithful and just
00:22:45.911 --> 00:22:47.412
He's faithful and justto cleanse you
00:22:47.412 --> 00:22:48.447
to cleanse youof all your sins."
00:22:48.447 --> 00:22:49.481
of all your sins."The precious blood of Jesus
00:22:49.481 --> 00:22:51.716
The precious blood of Jesuswill cleanse you of all
00:22:51.716 --> 00:22:53.351
will cleanse you of allyour unrighteousness and take
00:22:53.351 --> 00:22:55.053
your unrighteousness and takeyour stain of sin away.
00:22:55.053 --> 00:22:56.455
your stain of sin away.If you know anything
00:22:56.455 --> 00:22:57.789
If you know anythingabout blood,
00:22:57.789 --> 00:22:59.658
about blood,if it drips on a white shirt,
00:22:59.658 --> 00:23:03.662
if it drips on a white shirt,that doesn't cleanse that shirt.
00:23:03.662 --> 00:23:04.563
that doesn't cleanse that shirt.It stains it.
00:23:04.563 --> 00:23:05.464
It stains it.Blood stains.
00:23:05.464 --> 00:23:06.331
Blood stains.It doesn't cleanse.
00:23:06.331 --> 00:23:07.265
It doesn't cleanse.But the blood of Jesus
00:23:07.265 --> 00:23:09.768
But the blood of Jesusis different, because it said
00:23:09.768 --> 00:23:11.069
is different, because it saidin the book of Revelation,
00:23:11.069 --> 00:23:12.037
in the book of Revelation,when everything's over,
00:23:12.037 --> 00:23:13.472
when everything's over,we'll be wearing white robes.
00:23:13.472 --> 00:23:15.073
we'll be wearing white robes.And He said, "These are they
00:23:15.073 --> 00:23:18.443
And He said, "These are theywhose garments are white,
00:23:18.443 --> 00:23:19.411
whose garments are white,washed in the blood
00:23:19.411 --> 00:23:21.246
washed in the bloodof the Lamb".
00:23:21.246 --> 00:23:22.948
of the Lamb".How do you wash something
00:23:22.948 --> 00:23:25.517
How do you wash somethingin blood, and it becomes
00:23:25.517 --> 00:23:26.952
in blood, and it becomeswhite and the stains
00:23:26.952 --> 00:23:29.321
white and the stainsare removed?
00:23:29.321 --> 00:23:30.555
are removed?There's a mysterious
00:23:30.555 --> 00:23:31.790
There's a mysteriousingredient in the blood
00:23:31.790 --> 00:23:34.759
ingredient in the bloodof Jesus Christ, and it
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:42.968
of Jesus Christ, and itremoves the stains of sin.
00:23:42.968 --> 00:23:46.037

- ANNOUNCER: We are entering
00:25:55.233 --> 00:25:56.668
a critical election season
00:25:56.668 --> 00:25:57.769
in the United States.
00:25:57.769 --> 00:25:58.937
And times like these always
00:25:58.937 --> 00:26:00.472
require action from the body
00:26:00.472 --> 00:26:01.506
of Christ.
00:26:01.506 --> 00:26:02.841
That's why we, as a ministry,
00:26:02.841 --> 00:26:05.010
have been fasting and praying.
00:26:05.010 --> 00:26:06.344

renewal, and revival

and its friends and allies
