judge the world of their sins and to

[Music]
and a come
[Music]
let me
FL I said yes you are
[Music]
you
know our people and the the Orthodox
Jews under
the rabbis tradition are always saying
Hashem bless the name and they that's
what they call
God
because they say they don't want to take
the God's name in vain by mispronouncing
the name
yud yahovah
Yahweh and it's a nice it sounds
religious and Pious but it's really
tragic it means that somewhere along the
line after
Moses they just forgot how to say the
name or they didn't understand the most
important thing you address somebody and
honor somebody is to know their
name and so it was replaced with Adonai
which is doesn't even not an
approximation it's a totally different
word which means
[Music]
Lord and we are praying that the name of
God will be restored to our people
of course the name ultimately the name
which is above every other name is the
name of Yeshua which contains yah yah
yahushua contains the short form of yud
Y but even the name yehovah we're not
ashamed to say it is it yehovah it's
it's definitely not J it's a yah y
yehovah this name and its name in Yeshua
is the Covenant name of God the personal
name of
God so Lord we thank you that we know
you and that we know your name and Lord
we thank you that we know it's not it's
not about how you pronounce it there's
no magic as it is for the pagans in
repeating some special formula or some
special name it's not about that but
it's about knowing you knowing you
personally we thank you we thank you
today Lord that we have that privilege
that Grace To Know You In This Way
yahovah
yahushua Hallelujah

[Music]
wow there's a lot of content in that
song H Allelujah we're repeating maybe
more than anything Emmanuel Emmanuel
mhia Isel Emmanuel and it should remind
us of some verses from The Book of
Matthew chapter 1 that are very relevant
at this time of year for millions of
people of Christians around the world
I'm going to read from Matthew 21 uh
Matthew 1: 22
after Miriam Mary is found to be
pregnant by the Holy Spirit and Joseph
doesn't know what to
do and
uh actually from verse 20 the angel
appears to him and says Joseph son of
David do not be afraid to take Mary as
your wife for the child who has been
conceived in her is of the Holy
Spirit she will bear a son and you shall
call his
name Yeshua
yahushua for he will save his Yos he
will save his people from their sins now
all of this took place to fulfill what
was
spoken by the Lord through the prophet
in Isaiah chter 7 behold the Virgin
shall be with child and shall bear a
son and they shall call his
name which translated means god with us
[Music]
Lord I want to pray during this season
when all over the
[Music]
world many places
it's because of Faith many places it's
just become culture but there's the
scene of the Holy Family and Joseph and
Mary and baby Jesus Yeshua and Emmanuel
and all of the songs and Christmas
[Music]
songs and Lord we pray here from
Jerusalem we pray Lord for a revelation
Lord that the same Holy Spirit and the
same Angelic presence which spoke to
Joseph and to and to
Miriam will speak to many people
revealing this son this one who is God
With Us
and Lord at the same time we see and we
know and we've watched especially over
the last year that there's war over this
sun just as it says in Revelation
there's the dragon Waiting by by AC in
front of the woman to take and to steal
and to destroy the Son and the
revelation of who he is and the
Revelation that this is a Jewish story
that this took place in Bethlehem
Bethlehem Israel Bethlehem Judea not
Bethlehem
Palestine and that these were words
spoken to Isaiah yes yesah
Isel to the prophet Isaiah of Israel and
these words were spoken in
Hebrew and Lord we've seen even through
the last year I can remember a few times
in the news when you know the whole
world is trying to steal everything from
us and and and Jewish people secular
people even some religious people
standing up and say hey wait a minute
Jesus he was a Jew you can't even take
him and make him into a
Palestinian that's a lie that's not
historical he was one of
us Hal so Lord we pray that you would
use this especially among our people
this year Lord this whole Christmas
thing to say that he is a Jew and he is
the Hope who mashia
is AB
[Music]
to Open the Eyes of your people here in
in the Holy Land ABA both Jews and Arabs
Lord to see the truth of who he really
is let's just pray for someone let's
pray into that a little bit go
just as you praying
Ariel I want to read from Isaiah 35
verse
5 then the eyes of the Blind and the
ears of the deaf will be
[Music]
opened not just physical but they're
spiritual eyes their spiritual
ears and in John 8
verse says I am the light of the world
he who follows me shall not walk in
darkness but have the light of
life and next week on Thursday we are
having the first candle of Hanukah
and all the people of Israel will be
celebrating Hanukah the Feast of
light but we have the True Light which
is
Yeshua before he prays just it's that
first day of hanuk is the Day of
Christmas I don't remember that ever
happening because the Jewish holays are
very late December 25th so it's just a
congruence and let's pray God is can use
that to do great things go ahead
and there's so many dark areas all
around our
world and we have the light that can
shine in
[Music]
it so let's stand together in one heart
and declare this light and pray together
for the light to shine in all the places
in our land among our people where
there's difficulty where there's
[Music]
hardness so thank you Father that you
are the True
Light thank you that we have received
the
keys thank you that we declared you are
Emmanuel you are the god with each and
every one of
us thank you that your light break
breaks through the darkness and paves
the path for each and every one of
us we declare your powerful light to
shine in all the dark places in Israel
and around the
world thank you our father and our King
you declared you have already overcome
the darkness
yesu so we declare that today we declare
it during Hanukah we declare it over all
of our lives in yeshua's name amen byen
hallelujah I'd like to confirm that
because as we began to worship uh and
declare god um who was is and is to come
an Emmanuel I saw a picture of like a
stream from heaven or from above coming
down and over us and and making like
Bill
waves over us and as those waves came
down the darkness was pushed back so
Hallelujah father you are the light you
are the life and where you stream no
Darkness can dwell so we pray oh God in
this season now of light both for Jew
and Gentile oh God that you would
flood flood Us by your
light may we have eyes to see and ear to
hear and no longer be blinded like in
Isaiah 6 and father we just say move in
power through this season oh God to
reveal light even to those casual uh
celebrators those who casually celebrate
oh God bring your presence back to each
and every celebrant wherever they are
over the globe give them revelation of
who you are Immanuel God With Us
Hallelujah yes Lord even the light God
that uh opens the eyes and puts all the
dots together God for am Israel Lord
Lord is this not the Fulfillment this
holiday doesn't it connect Lord Genesis
3:15 is this not the
culmination of all your promises Lord
and particularly Lord that seed that
would come from that woman that was
identified later as a as a Jewish Lord
Hallelujah Lord let the eyes of am
Israel put the dots together through
your light the light of the glory of
your son and Lord it it even says
God by this you know the spirit of God
every spirit that confesses that Yeshua
hamashiach has come in the flesh is of
God and every spirit that does not
confess that Yeshua hamash has come in
the flesh is not of God and this is the
spirit of the Antichrist which you have
heard was coming and is now already in
the world so Lord we know that this is
the end Time battle whether you came in
the flesh or not and that's why Israel
is standing not in some just a spiritual
way God but physical genealogy to prove
that you are the one you said at the
very very beginning and you are going to
be that one in the very end Hallelujah
father we thank you Lord that we are not
separating the body from the spirit we
are not gnostics Lord hallelujah God
it's all integrated and without the
physical Sun without the physical
manifestation of a people a people
hallelujah the Antichrist God will win
the battle but today Lord we confess as
a people in this land as Believers that
you indeed Came In the Flesh we speak it
out into the atmosphere Lord we speak it
out uh before every mosque uh that would
say God has no son we say Lord we are
the manifestation
in the physical and in the spirit uh
that you came in a physical body and you
will come again in a physical body Lord
a glorified Jewish body and it will be
glorious glorious glorious uh for the
whole world and for this nation bashem
Yeshua hamashia
father we thank you for your word in
Psalm
369 for with you is the Fountain of Life
and in your light do we see light ABA
we're asking this season that the light
of the knowledge of the glory of God
would shine in the face of
Yeshua ABA we're asking let the face of
your son be seen in this season we say
let the eyes of the blind be opened in
the name of Jesus we say every darkened
heart every callous heart be softened by
the grace of God in this season Lord
that you would unveil just like you
unveiled for Nicodemus just like you
unveiled the hearts of men when you were
on the earth we're asking God we're
asking that Hearts would be awakened to
the truth of your coming to the truth
that you came

[Music]
just as uh we were talking about the
meaning and the power of names over
identity and so the term H Assyria the
name of the country stems from the
Acadian word assur assur which is the
name of the god that they worship and
um this God his characteristics are that
he is um a symbol of or identity
that merges from the Divine and
political Authority he is a God who
watches over Kings and princes and um
helps them in W in war and in battle and
reinforces the legitimacy of the Empire
rulers and their conquest and it also
directly connected to mesop to the
history of Mesopotamia and the leav so
um
Lord um you have a new identity for
Syria Lord um you have the identity that
stems out of the purpose and the call
that you have for Syrian people Lord we
thank you that um you will bring
repentance Lord for calling themselves
under uh the name of this God lord and
uh that you will move the hearts of the
Kings and the princes to to receive your
name Lord instead to receive you as God
instead Lord Lord I ask you today that
you will give a new name to syrians Lord
that you will restore the original
identity and name that you have for them
Lord and that they will no longer be
under the god of assur but that they
will be under the god of Yeshua the
Messiah Lord under Jehovah nii and
Jehovah Rafa and Jehovah um all of all
of you the all of your character and
identity Lord we thank you for a
restoration of identity over Syria and
the Syrian people Lord and we give you
praise that your name will be the only
one that will be praised that they will
understand uh the damage the destruction
the death the the the stolen things
because of of who they have been
worshiping Lord and that they their eyes
will be open and their ears will be open
to hear your voice only and to worship
and to see you only and to focus on and
to make you Lord above everything else
in the name of Yeshua the
Messiah amen amen amen
all right hello beloved well
um I want to speak today a little bit
about uh titling my heart is humility
Holiness and
brokenheartedness in the light of sexual
sin among spiritual leaders little tough
subject but it's also I'm thinking about
this uh season if we kind of end up that
way I'll give you a it's going to end up
in a a good way that in speaking of this
week when we think about the conception
of Yeshua in in Miriam that she was the
in some ways the ultimate victory of
sexual pury over sexual sin you usually
don't think about that but that's where
we're going so hold on to that for a
minute so we'll start in um how could we
not Psalm
51 Psalm 51 it's a prayer that we really
ought to be saying every day I try to
sing it to myself
every
day but we'll pick it up Psalm
51:12 a um a pure heart God created me
for those who read Hebrew nist it
doesn't say it says it's in the
imperative form say
create and um a right Spirit Renew on
the inside of me
well you hear the fear of God here do
not cast me away from
you and and do not take your holy spirit
away from me the the fear of
God restore to me the joy of of your
salvation and in a generous Spirit uh uh
support me lift me up we see him
repenting at such a deep
level and David who had killed Goliath
the great hero and then Fallen before
beeva I mean incredible contrast there
and he's so he's so broken and he's
crying out that he recognizes the
Holiness of God that he could lose it he
could lose it all I mean cast me away
from you take your holy Spirit Away From
Me was it's it he's going he's he's
taking us to a depth of of uh of
repentance here that I I don't know that
we find it it's I almost feel that God
allowed him to go through that sin so he
could write this Psalm it's to show us
how to how to get over sin and and
repentance and guilt but then he goes on
toward the end sort of finishing it off
in verse 19 it says
it says and sacrifices of God and from
here I got the title of this message are
a broken spirit and a broken heart and
cast down the Lord will not despise it
and so he's he's looking at this sin
that he did and he's he's just crushed
by it he's crushed by it and um he's
doing that obviously in the light of
he's it's not just kind of a normal
person sinning you know he's doing this
in the light of he recognizes God's
kingdom he recognizes the Holiness on
himself his calling the the kingdom of
God and it's not like he sinned I think
he's say I sinned okay God can like I've
blown it for the kingdom of God he's
he's terrified and he's broken and um
and he realizes here in the middle of
that somehow that this is a good thing
you know we always you know Western
people we always like to have something
up it's got to have a happy ending you
know you got to talk about Joy you don't
want to talk about Holiness or humility
so sorry if you don't like this message
but it's from the Bible and uh so but
he's saying well this is a good thing
Lord I you've you've taken me to a place
that I'm so aware of my own
inability to overcome my own flesh and
my own sin and he comes he just goes to
a zero place and somehow in the midst of
it he says wow this is I can feel as
broken as I am you're you're pleased
with the sacrifice it's almost like
you've been waiting hey was was some
human being realize how sinful you are
come on repent show me where you're at
and and somehow in the midst of his own
fear of God I could be Cast Away From
God I could be destroying the kingdom of
God he says well God's pleased with this
place of loneliness and Brokenness that
I've come to and I'm giving it to you
God in in the in uh as a as a way of
worship there's a purity a sweetness
coming out of his
Brokenness notice of course the first
the first verse up on it and it says
this is a Psalm of David
says he says and this is when Nathan
came to him the the prophet after he had
gone into bcha in other words this is
his repenting in the light of being
rebuked for having sinned with bcha now
B the bcha sin was a a pretty difficult
sin because it was it he he committed
adultery and then he lied about it and
then he committed murder to try to get
the evidence away from him I mean pretty
bad stuff you know this was not like
just missed the Holiness of God he he he
sinned on the the some of the big ones
you know and uh and he's shocked and
he's aware of the fact that it's not
just he did that but he did it he was
the king of Israel God made an eternal
Covenant with him he said you are the
Messiah the Messiah the Savior the whole
world salvation is going to come through
your seed and he just realized that I
may have just blown the whole Promises
of God by committing adultery I've
ruined the promises of the coming of the
Messiah I mean he's he's
stunned well I'm saying that in the
light
of this year has been a difficult year
for us there's been cases of allegations
of sexual sin against leaders across the
world not one not two not three not four
not five and
unfortunately a lot of the situations
seem to get to me somehow but but I uh
um and they're
complicated because what happens in a
situation like this you have you have an
event that happens usually happens when
nobody's there so who's who evidence you
you have the the emotional response is
the exactly opposite usually between men
and the women and then if you are
talking about spiritual leaders you have
an imbalance of emotional
psychological positioning with it that
becomes abusive whether the person meant
for it to be abusive and then you have
allegations and then what can get proved
and then what cannot get proved and then
it's whoa it is so
complicated I mean I've had to spend
hundreds of hours this year dealing with
these
situations and none of them are very
nice and everybody's hurt everybody's
hurt on all the sides it's it's it's
kind of like I mean this in a spiritual
way it's disgusting I mean it's like we
all just want to vomit it up in in in I
mean in a right way God's God's dealing
with this and you
realize God is not embarrassed about
these kind of things we're embarrassed
but God is like hey you want to sin and
remember what happened to David that he
God said will you sin in in
private I'm going to display it in
public so his son Rebels against him and
he commits adultery for all of David's
wives and concubines on the roof in
front of everybody puts it on the front
page of the newspaper I mean it's just
like it's it's horrible and God somehow
in God's holiness
he he desires to have these things
displayed it's totally humiliating for
us human beings to be involved in this
but it's but it's God is so interested
in in displaying the wrongness of sin
that he wants to get this things all
these things out and it's very hard to
work with you know now we um with with
tiun our ministration we put a lot of
emphasis on you know my book Covenant
relationships Dan's book due process
we're really into wanting to hand these
all these situations correctly and
that's what takes the hundreds of hours
because you got to you got to listen to
everybody's side and you got to try to
weigh it objectively it's almost
impossible because the the situation is
so emotionally Laden they try to get to
it but I want to
say with all of our good intentions of
due process and covenantal
relationships and all these right forms
of dealing something I'm saying this as
the president of tun
Global no process is going to
work it doesn't matter how good your
processes are you have to deal with sin
you know and there's something about
this and I've heard I'm part of like I
said so many conversations on this
person's right this person's wrong and
you know what we all just have to be
brokenhearted about this situation we
just have to cry we have to it it's we
have to Humble ourselves we have to
realize that we're we're not holy and
we're standing before a holy
God and and okay we have to listen this
person listen this person who's right
how much punishment how much do what how
do we comfort those how do we heal
everybody's everybody's hurt everybody's
broken but I'm saying in addition to all
our right processing which I believe in
I believe in Covenant relationship and
and judicial process and the right hand
but in all of that that's not going to
work if you don't have a
brokenheartedness you hear what I'm
saying you can get through the right
process and you'll never get to the end
and on a different issue everybody's
talking here about in Israel we want to
have a um
uh uh a governmental uh investigation of
what went wrong a year and a half ago at
the beginning of the war the problem is
that everybody in a country is already
prejudged as to what side they're on you
can't you could never possibly get to an
objective Council here who's going to do
the investigation everybody's screaming
and yelling at everybody and I'm saying
we have to get to the point whether
you're talking about the war here in
Israel or judicial process of sin in the
church is just you have to get to the
point you know what we're all wrong
we're all wrong stop in in these
situations there's no there's no reason
to come well I'm more righteous than you
are would okay and it it's heartbreaking
and so in the C this is not just a regul
you're talking about a sin with David
who is the head of the Community of
Faith in his
generation it's
terrifying it's
terrifying and look at what he's say I
said to myself go Asha what is there
something you missed here you know did I
miss have I missed anything about myself
it's interesting it says in Ephesians 4
that lust of this world um are they are
deceptive it's like you're involved in L
you don't even realizing you're
deceiving yourself while you're involved
in the lust it's it's aaz you don't even
see that it's wrong you you're
justifying yourself while it's
happening you I ask myself God got have
I done it what you know David said you
know don't let any of my sins be you
know hidden show them up I was pray I
was thinking of a situation 40 years ago
I was serving kind of in a youth pastor
situation I gave this girl a hug
everybody was hugging gave this girl a
hug you know and it got a sensual hug
you know and I'm thinking the Lord
brought that back to my mind I said you
know well I can excuse it dismiss it no
no it was disgusting there's no there's
no way you can justify anything you know
you just have to realize that we're
living in a sinful world and we have to
get away from it let's look at another
example look with me in uh Ezra chapter
9 remember Ezra and Nehemiah are kind of
the last two historical books of the
Bible Nehemiah is actually after isra
the Book of Esther actually comes first
the the situation with Esther happened
before Ezra and that happened before
Nehemiah but this is one of the last
last books of the Bible it's an
incredible situation God has returned
the people of Israel from Exile they're
coming back to Jerusalem they're
rebuilding the altar they're giving
worship there I mean it's an incredible
Victorious moment of the restoration of
God it's just wonderful I mean you can
almost learn everything about Apostolic
Ministry from the book of Ezra and
Nehemiah it's it's so wonderful and the
last two chapters did you notice that
the last two chapters of the book of
isra are all dedicated to repenting of
sexual sin on behalf of the leadership
well I miss that what was that in the
Bible let's look at Ezra chapter n what
happens in now in their day the the sin
was they the they they married the the
Canaanite women now this was before the
time of Yeshua had they had they had
seed with the Canaanite women they would
have ruined the promise of the coming of
the Holy seed of Yeshua and would have
basically damned all of the human race
for eternity without they would have
ruined the ability for Yeshua to come
God would have had to wipe us all out
again like he didn't know but but in
this case but so I'm not going to deal
with the fact that they married that
that situation doesn't apply really to
anybody here today but it still was a a
type of sexual sin so we're looking at
and um so let's look at we're in Ezra
9
in chap chapter 9 verse two and said
second half of the verse so that the
holy seed is mixed with the people of
the lands and then he says indeed the
hand of the leaders and the rulers have
been uppermost in this
sin
yo wasn't just the sin of the people
every was him but he said you know he
said the leaders have been even
worse yo and then and then how does
react or I'm saying somebody who's
leaving a judicial process to help solve
and deal with all these situations and
we're into that you know said so I heard
this thing I tore my garment in my robed
and plucked out some of my hair from my
head and my beard I sat down astonished
and everyone who was trembled at the
words of the god of Israel assembled to
me because of the transgression of those
who have been carried away captive and I
stand astonished and he goes on and on
just repenting and he says he says he
goes on to say I'm uh we
are this is humiliating it's humiliating
for the whole people of God he said I'm
ashamed God we're in a generation where
you're miraculously storing the
restoring the people of God you're
rebuilding the altar you I mean we're
living in that generation we're living
in the generation of the restoration of
Israel Jerusalem Israel becoming a the
lead nation in the Middle East the the
the Messianic Remnant I mean we have
over a 100 congregations in Israel today
maybe 200 of them if you count the house
congregations and we have it's this is a
time of incredible Victory and right in
the middle of that we have sin in the
camp it's it's it's humili I mean you
don't that's you said what can I say I'm
just going to rip out my beer rip out my
hair I'd rip out my hair if I had any
left but but we have um but it's it's
just you see him reacting now after he
does that then he goes into this long
the all basically all of chapter 10 the
last chapter is him making a judicial
process so I'm not against judicial
we're doing you have to do that that's
the right thing to do he said now we're
going to set up we're going to interview
each person we're going to come through
this and we're going to we're going to
check it we got to hear the evidence
because remember um Nicodemus said he
said how can you have righteousness if
you don't hear both sides of the story
whenever you hear one side of the story
it doesn't matter what the allegations
are on this side or this side if you've
only heard one side of the story you're
wrong you be before you start you've got
the process you got to hear both sides
you got to compare them you got to work
it out and he says no we're going to do
all that the people said yeah I don't
we're praying first of all we tear our
heart we tear our garments and then we
go through this process we've got to go
through this process to work in these
said they said it's going to take some
time for us to hear everybody work
person by person name by name this every
situation make a decision make a
judgment you have to do that and all I'm
saying and we for who so dedicate
ourselves to do that all I'm saying if
we go right to that and skip over the
part of tearing our heart and tearing
our garments and saying oh my God what's
happened this is humiliating
and people are hurt people are hurt on
all
sides it's interesting I noticed that
that when he did this they said in ver
in chapter 10 he said it was the 20th
day of the 9th
month and he did he said and three days
from now it'll be the 20th so he did
this three days before the 20th day of
the 9th month which is in the Hebrew
calendar
today amazing huh this 3 days before the
20th would be the shabat this is the
three days it's the ninth month of it
been so I was read that I just felt like
the the anointing of this the revelation
of this chapter we're living it you know
not just the date but you know what I'm
saying I'm just realizing we he there's
both the part of the broken heartedness
tearing our hearts and then there's the
part of the judicial process you have to
do both and you know but um but what
happens is because everybody's
scrambling because of the allegations
and people are hurt on all different
sides people are trying to you know what
I'm saying kind of justify themselves we
haven't even gotten to the point we all
need to just stop and start crying and
just humble ourselves and say got a
little humility Holiness and and a
brokenheartedness to be in the right
process is wherever it goes people say
to me what do you think about this
situation this situation I'm talking
about whole bunch of famous situations
and and I say I I purposely don't have
an opinion because I'm trying to serve
the process of trying to be trying to be
humble and objective and we we we're
hurting for everybody and and people
have been wounded you know I just want
to say um one more thing about the story
of of
um uh David and but sha I used to say
that uh was the only passage in the
Bible my wife and I don't agree about
you know
as a man I read I said can you believe
that girl taking off her clothes in the
front of the king's window how could she
do that my wife said are what are you
talking about I should have got the king
came up and you know abducted her what
are you talking about so and I realized
that um maybe there's a little truth on
both sides but Betty was more right than
me because when you look at after it
God's judgment comes more on him than it
was on her you know so it's it's so he
was more responsible you know she well
she flirted well okay but you're the
king you know you have to you have to
deal with it so it's a it's a
heartbreaking situation and in the
history of
Israel the the the sin repeated itself
over and over and over and over and over
again and it caused the murder and
adultery and it just it seemed to
destroy the kingdom of God every time
the kingdom of God would come to a high
point it would get destroyed by these
things it's a heartbreaking chain of
events for that to happen now um let's
skip over all that for a moment I want
and let's let's come up to the um the
story of the conception of our beloved
Messiah who is the son of
David the great great great great
grandson of David look what it says here
this was the angle I mean there's so
many good things to speak about the
conception of the Messiah but uh here is
one that just jumped out at me was Luke
chap
1:35 of course I read this all the time
I just kind of went over it but notice
the word holy is in this verse
twice it says Luke 1:35 and it says and
the angel answered this is Gabriel comes
to me said it's said you know Miriam is
there and she says to him well how how
am I going to be with child I mean I'm
I'm a virgin you know and you know when
if she's coming from an ultra Orthodox
Jewish background she probably was she
may have never even talked to a man
before she never touched a man she never
been in the same room with a man before
I mean what what are you talking about
you know and the angel answered and said
to her the holy spirit will come upon
you and the power of the most high will
overshadow you and therefore the holy
thing which will be born in you shall be
called The Son of God here's a different
angle that I want us to look at this is
they she is the great great great great
granddaughter and Joseph is also the
great grand grandson basically of of
David
biva and we're talking about what how
many generations it is 14 by 14
Generations coming up till you get to
them of
generations of of sexual sin that has
been doing huge damage to the kingdom of
God and she
wins she wins she breaks the curse and
she says look I've kept myself holy and
you can see it and you can try to get
the purpose of she says look I'm the I'm
the great great and if we understand it
correctly on her mom's side she was from
the the tribe of the Cohen family and
and the father's side from David and
probably from Joseph was on David
David's family so she says she said I'm
like the I'm the great great great
granddaughter of of the of the Kings and
the priests of our people and I have
determined that I am going to keep
myself holy in this perverted generation
and she's looking back at that angel and
she's like saying I mean you know I'm
not taking any of this promise from you
you know I'm I'm watching out for my
Holiness I don't need your promise I'm
watching out for my Holiness you could
almost feel him smiling yeah you
know yeah you w you w
girl now I don't believe Mary was born
of an Immaculate Conception that's not
what I'm talking about I'm talking about
a plain old Jewish Israeli girl here
that fought against all the forces of
sexual immorality and stood before
angels and the force of Heaven and Hell
and said I'm going to maintain my Purity
he says yes and the holy spirit's going
to come upon you and the child that will
born will be born of you will be holy
because you have maintained yourself
holy and this this holy child is going
to come and save the universe and it's
probably because of you dear
Miriam this is the great great great
great granddaughter of
Betha he said I won you
won and and Joseph being the great great
great grandson of David also saying well
what am I supposed to do here and he
says well just you know get married get
betro while you're betro we'll have the
child born and then you can get married
and then it'll be it'll all work out
well but
what a victory the the victory of the
conception of the Messiah is the victory
of a people walking in Holiness
overcoming the carnality and the
sinfulness of the world around him wow
what an encouraging thing what a way to
look at this story look at this in the
light of Holiness and victory fol this
is good news good news but despite us
messiness up all over the place
Hallelujah Yeshua is a holy child
conceived in Holiness by the way you
know there was as I can tell there's
nothing miraculous about his birth he
had a regular birth the miracle was the
conception that was when the miracle
that's why we believe this holiday was
not his birth but actually the
conception but that's when the light
came into the world and she received it
as a holy vessel the Holy Light came
into her cuz she maintained herself
maintained herself holy what a victory
and she and you got is she she went the
rest of her life being mocked at by
everybody in her
City yeah Virgin
Mary you know they looked at her her
reputation was a girl that had said got
pregnant outside of marriage you know
and she kept her Holiness in the light
of all that an amazing thing all right
one last thing I want to share and that
has a relationship our relationship to
the world and both John and James speak
of not loving or not being a friend of
the world it's in 1 John 2 and then
James 4 let's look at one of them let's
look in the uh in James
4
um I think it may be a little more
relevant for although it's the same part
Point James
4 verse
4 he says um you adulterers and
adulteresses do you not know that
friendship with the world is is enmity
with God whoever therefore would be a
friend of the world is an enemy of
God that's a pretty tough verse the
verse in 1 John 2 which says something
similar is but it says a little
different in verse in 1 John 2 it says
don't love the world we know a little
bit everybody knows a Greek to know that
love is agape so it says don't Agape the
world the world out there but in but in
in James he says don't a friend to it
which is the filo so he's saying in and
and so I was thinking for most of us I'm
I'm I'm using the James one because I'm
saying most of us we don't love the
world I don't love the things of the
world you love the things of the world I
don't I don't desire them love them but
there's a part of us you know what I'd
like to be friends a little bit you know
I mean I want to be have friends I want
to be part of what's going on you kind
of want to be friends with human society
you want to be you know I'd like to hang
out with the with the synagogue in my my
neighborhood but I've been kicked out
more synagogues than you've ever ever
been to you know I'd like to be friends
with the the Israelis around us but but
you know we what are you going to do you
know I'd like to watch a TV show every
now and then you get about two minutes
and then you got to turn off the TV you
can't watch it it's all it's I don't
love it but I'm confessing you know what
I'm saying I don't love it but I'd like
to at least be friends a little bit he
says no no no no no no you want to be
friends with this world you're an enemy
of God oh no I'm sorry Lord you know and
what so it comes to the place where we
have to realize if all this is true that
that we just we can't be friends with
this world we're you have to live as
kind of a reject you know it's not going
to work out you can be nice you can
smile at everybody and you can have
grace and favor that doesn't mean you
want to have grace and favor people will
appreciate us because they see us
walking with the Lord but it we can't be
buddies with him you know and uh I'm I'm
working on that one I really I have no
love for the world I have no TI for but
I kind of would like to you know just be
friends with I'm want to be friendly
people you know but it doesn't that
doesn't work out you know you can show
them love you can show people you can be
friends to them but you can't be
friendly with them you know and it's
it's a different thing you know I'm not
saying don't be friendly don't be loving
we we pour the love and friendship of
Yeshua to the people around us but we
can't go down to try to be accepted on
in what they're doing and we can't be
with them on that level as Yeshua you
got to be in the world but not of the
same spirit and and you know that I'm
just confessing that that's a little
it's a little because there's something
about it we're people of love we want to
have friend we want to be friends with
the people around you it doesn't work so
um looking this and and I'm I'm also
thinking of the the the the sexual sins
that have been part of the the body not
just in the leaders but in in
everyone it you know the people that I
know they there wasn't people that were
looking for sin it wasn't that kind of
things it was just that we live
particularly the western church it's
kind of like we're Believers but we're
also just friendly with the world you
know it's kind of like we're cool we're
hip we're gone all it doesn't work the
people weren't looking to sin you know
they were but we were trying to be
friendly with the world and when you're
doing that you don't realize it you're
slowly getting stuck in in the honey and
the mud and you're getting and you don't
realize it and you're get and then all
of a sudden then you say what happened
and I realized that we we have to have
another step of just really coming to a
deep understanding that we can't be
friends with the values that are in the
world and we in Israel for instance if
we go toward the 90% of the Orthodox
Jewish World
they hate Jesus even though they don't
know who he is but I'm saying and we
can't be Messianic Jews in it and the
world the rest of Israeli Society is
saturated in sexual sin and Rebellion
because we we got to walk in a holy Lane
in between that and and love everybody
around us and be a witness you know what
I'm saying but we have to wake up that
that we we can't relax in that
environment and um so that's it I just
want to
um pray and let me just go over those
points again we have to have a deep
brokenheartedness Holiness and the fear
of God and humility when we look at the
sexual sins around us on whatever the
sides are particularly realizing how
damaging that could be when those of us
and all of you were all being trained
for leadership there's nobody that's a
Believer that's not being trained for
leadership you got to realize the more
you're trained in leadership the more
prices it's going to have the more bad
effects it's going to have and it's come
to ruin the kingdom of God all this time
but thank
God Joseph and Mary and the people in
their generation overcome that she beat
the World by saying pure and then when
she gave Yeshua to the world then Yeshua
is the light he is the he is the Holy
One she's not the Holy One she just
maintained her her sexual period but
he's the Holy One and he's coming we
have Holiness that comes from him and
the and the the story of of Christmas of
the conception of Yeshua is also part of
the victory of the Holiness of God over
the sinfulness of this world hallelujah
hallelujah but we have to watch out not
to just try to be friendly on the same
level as the world around us and I was
just uh want to pray I just want to also
pray for this generation the younger
generation Believers or not Believers as
I've been tell we've been talking about
this with our family members with their
the the age of our children and
grandchildren already that that that
they've been come become totally um I'm
not trying to overstate something but
dysfunctional in the ability of any kind
of interpersonal relationship they they
nobody can figure out to get married
because the young boys and girls today
can't even talk to one another they
don't even know what to do so well let's
just get a dog you know I mean just it's
just it's a it's a difficult world
because the the generations of this
sinfulness and worldliness has caused a
dysfunction not only in not only in
gender confusion but just in the men and
women don't know how to talk to one
they're afraid to get married they're
afraid to have children they're afraid
to it's nothing the the whole thing is
falling apart but not with us when need
to pray for the Holiness of God that can
result in healthy normal relationships
what are you trying to be super holy go
I'm trying to see if we can have some
normal relationships Hallelujah and
um okay these were some heavy things so
let's just pray Lord God just pray with
me
and Heavenly Father we ask
you for humility for Holiness and for
brokenheartedness in the light of the
worldliness around us Lord
God and I realize Lord that none of us
has walked through this pure there's
none of us that haven't been affected
one way or another no way we're not
pointing fingers at everybody Lord we're
just saying I we all of us L we just
need to as Ezra did
just tear his shirt tear his heart pull
out his beard pull out his ha just hey
God lord we are humiliated and humbled
before you we're more than humbled Lord
we're
humiliated but God we thank you that
somehow in your sight that's a good
sacrifice you like that you say hey you
got the point Lord we just thank you
that we would not be afraid as the
Community of Faith to Humble
ourselves to admit we've all blown it
and we all just have to have a a broken
heart and give it to you in this season
when we talk about this holy child being
conceived Lord I ask you for right now
in this week 10 days during hanuka
lighting the light of hanuka and talking
about the conception of the of the holy
Child Lord that we would just let that
Holiness touch
us and that we could just have the Heart
of Mary and Joseph that we can just walk
in Holiness in this world because that
holy child is in our hearts we don't
have to be pregnant we just have to have
him in our hearts and we thank you for
Lord that we are walking and above all
Lord I'm so sorry God that we have
embarrassed your name in front of the
world oh
God B enough
Lord that we would embarrass ourselves
but Lord we've caused embarrassment to
your name thank you God in all your
Holiness and your power we tremble in
fear at your word but Lord we also know
that your grace is there to forgive us
to heal us to heal all the people that
have been hurt on all the different
sides Lord all the people that have been
victims all the people that have been
defiled all the people that have been
Lord we just pray for your Holiness to
come and cleanse us and heal
us and humble us restore us that we can
Worship You from this heart of Holiness
and humility brokenheartedness
that you can restore unto us the joy of
our Salvation Lord don't take your holy
spirit away from us don't cast us away
Lord but restore us Lift us up with A
Generous Heart Lord restore unto us the
joy of our salvation and the Holiness of
this season in yeshua's
name
amen I'm for a few as always few
comments
questions
uh
um I just happened to be hearing the um
testimony of Carl Lance you know the
founder of Hill songs in the past three
days and the title was the Scandal the
restoration to Holiness and um and the
the resilience that came out of it and
actually uh I I just want to quickly
like what really spoke to me and touched
me was he said that uh he thought that
he sinned because of the insecurities of
his wife but then he realized through
the counseling and discipleship that it
was his own insecurities and that they
came because of the wounds of the child
where mother and father didn't take
their positions and I was thinking of
Mary as you were talking and I think
mothers and fathers back then were so
much more firm and um and bold into what
they were giving as an example to their
children while we have a broken
generation of mothers and fathers today
that um don't know you know like how to
give that image and likeness of God into
our lives they're so broken
themselves I think that's a good point
it's not just individual sin we're
dealing with a two generations that have
become dysfunctional in this whole area
wow I really thank you
Asher really for putting yourself making
yourself vulnerable
thank
you
um I'm just thinking of
Joseph you know he
fled he
fled Joseph in the Old Testament yeah he
fled you know and it it it says that in
First Corinthians it says
flee sexual
immorality and it also says you know do
you not know that your bodies are
members
of the Messiah if we could only
just be awakened to that how close it is
when when we cross over those lines how
how it's that
close uh I can't help but think that
it's some of this has to do with our
consciences that we somehow need a a
conscience
Awakening um because I think some people
could listen to this message and it not
even phas them you know sometimes I go
into the the kilot and I'm just being
honest here um I'm wondering why I don't
feel that I feel something of the Holy
Spirit but that fear that you're talking
about that Holiness that thick um holy
presence of God where you you know your
heart is deeply touched and broken and
I'm aware that there are people in the
body there that I know
personally that have not dealt with some
issues and I don't I don't know but I
love the conviction of God I feel like
he loves me when he convicts me I feel
like he's paying attention to
me and when I don't have that I get
scared say where are
you where are you I need you I need you
I can't do it myself you know how can we
do it ourselves we've got to have that
from him so I I don't know I I think we
need a conscience
Awakening so that somehow that
conviction will come back it's not
condemnation that leads to death it's
conviction that leads to life and it's
beautiful and it's clean and the word of
God says that the fear of God is clean
it's something clean and beautiful so
you it's interesting it says in uh 2
Timothy 2:22 it says flee youthful lust
and I just realized that he was in his
mind he was referencing Joseph in Egypt
you know and he was saying as Joseph ran
away from P for's wife you just have to
get away from the lust of this world you
know and flee and flee the lust of this
world and it's kind of a an application
for us as Believers all right more yeah
and the holy spirit is called the Holy
Spirit not not for
if no if there's someone else is there
we got to really we're really overtime
here and I wanted to just say Asher also
that um just for some folks out there
who
may possibly misunderstand something uh
were you're saying as you talked about
Psalm 51 that to get to that beautiful
place of intimacy and Brokenness that
David came to did you have to sin
big no you have to read Psalm 51 so you
okay learn it the easy way or learn it
the hard way you right yeah as part you
know this is what in Romans they accuse
the Apostle Paul in his Gospel of being
of that he was saying something people
perverting it to saying that if you
really want to experience the fullness
of God's grace then the then it's good
to sin because then you oh he forgives
me and he all this kind of stuff he said
in Romans 6 he says that is should we
continue in sin so that Grace might
abound no way don't if that's what
you're thinking or even that that
beginning of that thought no no no
that's not the right you're you're
getting way of yeah no I um it's crazy
to think that's how some people actually
thought and even think today sometimes
it you get in your head that you know
you've got to do something radical and
crazy to experience God that's another
version of it no you just have to submit
and cry out okay we are going to yeah
thank you everybody and uh pray uh for
us Blumenthal family we're leaving on
Sunday we won't be here for two weeks
we're going to be in the in the US with
