1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,000
all right hello beloved well

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,799
um I want to speak today a little bit

3
00:00:05,799 --> 00:00:09,519
about uh titling my heart is humility

4
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:11,639
Holiness and

5
00:00:11,639 --> 00:00:15,280
brokenheartedness in the light of sexual

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,039
sin among spiritual leaders little tough

7
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:21,720
subject but it's also I'm thinking about

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,279
this uh season we kind of end up that

9
00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:25,599
way I'll give you it's going to end up

10
00:00:25,599 --> 00:00:28,760
in a good way that in speaking of this

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,119
week when we think about the conception

12
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,360
of Yeshua in in Miriam that she was the

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,640
in some ways the ultimate victory of

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,760
sexual Pur over sexual sin you usually

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,600
don't think about that but that's where

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,440
we're going so hold on to that for a

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,840
minute so we'll start in um how could we

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,960
not Psalm

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,399
51 Psalm 51 it's a prayer that we really

20
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:54,559
ought to be saying every day I try to

21
00:00:54,559 --> 00:00:58,359
sing it to myself every day

22
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:02,680
live but we'll pick it up but Psalm

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,920
51:2 a um a pure heart God created me

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,119
for those who read Hebrew it doesn't say

25
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:17,200
it says it's in the imperative forms

26
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,799
that's in

27
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:23,560
crate and um a right Spirit Renew on the

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,159
inside of me

29
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,759
well you hear the fear of God here do

30
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:36,439

32
00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:46,280

00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,240
um restore to me the joy of of your

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,799
salvation and in a generous Spirit uh uh

35
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:59,039
support me lift me up we see him

36
00:01:59,039 --> 00:02:02,039
repenting at such a deep

37
00:02:02,039 --> 00:02:07,000
level um David who had killed Goliath

38
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,800
the great hero and then Fallen before

39
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,879
Beva I mean incredible contrast there

40
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:14,920
and he's so he's so broken and he's

41
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:17,640
crying out that he recognizes the

42
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:21,280
Holiness of God that he could lose it he

43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,160
could lose it all I mean it cast me away

44
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,400
from you take your holy spirit away from

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,319
me because it's it he's going he's he's

46
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:33,160
taking us to a depth of of uh of

47
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,599
repentance here that I I don't know that

48
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:37,879
we find it it's I almost feel that God

49
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:39,440
allowed him to go through that sin so he

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,920
could write this Psalm it's to show us

51
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:44,519
how to how to get over sin and and

52
00:02:44,519 --> 00:02:47,120
repentance and guilt but then he goes on

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,920
toward the end sort of finishing it off

54
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:54,000
in verse 19 it says

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,440
it says and um sacrifices of God and

56
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,959
from here I got the title of this

57
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:08,840
message are a broken spirit and a broken

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,799
heart and cast down the Lord will not

59
00:03:11,799 --> 00:03:15,640
despise it and so he's he's looking at

60
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:19,519
this sin that he did and he's he's just

61
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:24,680
crushed by it he's crushed by it and um

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,440
he's doing that obviously in the light

63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,480
of he's it's not just kind of a normal

64
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,640
person sinning you know he's doing this

65
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:34,400
in a light of he recognizes God's

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,319
kingdom he recognizes the Holiness on

67
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:39,920
himself his calling the the kingdom of

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,319
God and it's not like he sinned I think

69
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:44,920
he's think I sinned okay God conf it's

70
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,400
like I've blown it for the kingdom of

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,400
God he's he's terrified and he's broken

72
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,120
and um and he realizes here in the

73
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,560
middle of that somehow that this is a

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,360
good thing you know we always you know

75
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Western people we always like to have

76
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,720
something up it's got to have a happy

77
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,159
ending you know you got to talk about

78
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:04,480
Joy you don't want to talk about

79
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,640
Holiness or humility so sorry if you

80
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,200
don't like this message but it's from

81
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,400
the Bible and uh so but he's saying well

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,560
this is a good thing Lord I you've

83
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,680
you've taken me to a place that I'm so

84
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,280
aware of my own

85
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:24,240
inability to overcome my own flesh in my

86
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,040
own sin and he comes he just goes to a

87
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,080
zero place and somehow in the mid he

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,120
says wow this is I can feel as broken as

89
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,320
I am you're you're pleased with the

90
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,280
sacrifice it's almost like you've been

91
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,600
waiting hey was was some human being

92
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,639
realize how sinful you are come on

93
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:44,320
repent show me where you're at and and

94
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,600
somehow in the midst of his own fear of

95
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,320
God I could be Cast Away From God I

96
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,479
could be destroying the kingdom of God

97
00:04:51,479 --> 00:04:53,680
he says well God's pleased with this

98
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,960
place of loneliness and Brokenness that

99
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,479
I've come to and I'm giving it to you

100
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:02,039
God in in the in uh as a as a way of

101
00:05:02,039 --> 00:05:05,960
worship there's a purity a sweetness

102
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,800
coming out of his Brokenness notice of

103
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,840
course the first the first verse up on

104
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:17,199
it and it says this is a Psalm of David

105
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,840
says he says and this is when Nathan

106
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,560
came to him the prophet after he had

107
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,600
gone into bcha in other words this is

108
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,280
his repenting in the light of being

109
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,479
rebuked uked for having sinned with bcha

110
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:35,400
now B the bcha sin was a a pretty

111
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,960
difficult sin because it was it he he

112
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,319
committed adultery and then he lied

113
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:43,880
about it and then he committed murder to

114
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,600
try to get the evidence away from him I

115
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,720
mean pretty bad stuff you know this was

116
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,000
not like just missed the Holiness of God

117
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,960
he he he sinned on the the some of the

118
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,199
big ones you know and uh and he's

119
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:59,720
shocked and he's aware of the fact that

120
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,440
it's not just he did that but he did it

121
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,000
he was the king of Israel God made an

122
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,280
eternal Covenant with him he said you

123
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,960
are the Messiah the Messiah the Savior

124
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,080
the whole world salvation is going to

125
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,520
come through your seed and he just

126
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,960
realized that I may have just blown the

127
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,160
whole Promises of God by committing

128
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,720
adultery I've ruined the promises of the

129
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,039
coming of the Messiah I mean he's he's

130
00:06:24,039 --> 00:06:26,080
stunned well I'm saying that in the

131
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,120
light

132
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,759
of this year has been a difficult year

133
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:35,240
for us there's been cases of allegations

134
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,199
of sexual sin against leaders across the

135
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:41,560
world not one not two not three not four

136
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,440
not five and

137
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,000
unfortunately a lot of the situations

138
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,520
seem to get to me somehow but but I uh

139
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,400
um and they're

140
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,680
complicated because what happens in a

141
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,000
situation like this you have you have an

142
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,080
event that happens usually happens when

143
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,400
nobody's there there so who's whose

144
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,680
evidence you you have the the emotional

145
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,759
response is the exactly opposite usually

146
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:07,560
between the men and the women and then

147
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,840
if you are talking about spiritual

148
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:11,319
leaders you have an imbalance of

149
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:12,440
emotional

150
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,440
psychological positioning with it that

151
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,720
becomes abusive whether the person meant

152
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,039
for it to be abusive and then you have

153
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:21,039
allegations and then what can get proved

154
00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:22,759
and then what cannot get proved and then

155
00:07:22,759 --> 00:07:26,919
it's whoa it is so complicated I mean

156
00:07:26,919 --> 00:07:30,120
I've had to spend hundreds of hours

157
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,720
this year dealing with these

158
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,319
situations and none of them are very

159
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:37,879
nice and everybody's hurt everybody's

160
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:40,280
hurt on all the sides it's it's it's

161
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,879
kind of like I mean this in a spiritual

162
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,199
way it's disgusting I mean it's like we

163
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:47,800
all just want to vomit it up in in in I

164
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,800
I mean in a right way God's God's

165
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,000
dealing with this and you

166
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,720
realize God is not embarrassed about

167
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,720
these kind of things we're embarrassed

168
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,159
but God is like hey you want to sin and

169
00:08:00,159 --> 00:08:02,919
remember what happened to David that he

170
00:08:02,919 --> 00:08:05,319
God said will you sin in in

171
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:07,639
private I'm going to display it in

172
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:10,639
public so his son Rebels against him and

173
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:13,159
he commits adultery for all of David's

174
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:15,159
wives and concubines on the roof in

175
00:08:15,159 --> 00:08:16,879
front of everybody puts it on the front

176
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:19,080
page of the newspaper I mean it's just

177
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,800
like it's it's horrible and God somehow

178
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,360
in God's

179
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,319
holiness he he desires to have these

180
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:29,960
things displayed it's totally humil for

181
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,760
us human beings to be involved in this

182
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,839
but it's but it's God is so interested

183
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:39,399
in in displaying the wrongness of sin

184
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:40,760
that he wants to get this things all

185
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,680
these things out and it's very hard to

186
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:46,920
work with you know now we um with with

187
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,839
ton our ministry we've put a lot of

188
00:08:48,839 --> 00:08:50,839
emphasis on you know my book Covenant

189
00:08:50,839 --> 00:08:53,120
relationships Dan's book due process

190
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,440
where really into wanting to handle

191
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,839
these all these situations correctly and

192
00:08:58,839 --> 00:09:00,440
that's what takes the hundreds of hours

193
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,800
cuz you got to you got to listen to

194
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,720
everybody's side and you got to try to

195
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,480
weigh it objectively it's almost

196
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,959
impossible cuz the the situation is so

197
00:09:07,959 --> 00:09:10,880
emotionally Laden they try to get to but

198
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,560
I want to say with all of our good

199
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:17,959
intentions of due process and covenantal

200
00:09:17,959 --> 00:09:20,000
relationships and all these right forms

201
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,519
of dealing something I'm saying this as

202
00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:23,440
the president of tun

203
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,560
Global no process is going to

204
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,760
work it doesn't matter how good your

205
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,600
processes are

206
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,240
you have to deal with sin you know and

207
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,760
there's something about this and I've

208
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,079
heard part of like I said so many

209
00:09:37,079 --> 00:09:38,760
conversations on this person's right

210
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,120
this person's wrong and this you know

211
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,519
what we all just have to be

212
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:43,560
brokenhearted about this situation we

213
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:46,360
just have to cry we have to it it's we

214
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,120
have to Humble ourselves we have to

215
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,040
realize that we're we're not holy and

216
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,120
we're standing before a holy

217
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,279
God and and okay we have to listen to

218
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:56,760
this person listen to this person who's

219
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,440
right how much punishment how much do

220
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,200
what how do we comfort those how do we

221
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,760
heal everybody's everybody's hurt

222
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,320
everybody's broken but I'm saying in

223
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,160
addition to all our right processing

224
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,320
which I believe in I believe in Covenant

225
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,519
relationship and and judicial process

226
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:13,440
and the right hand but in all of that

227
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,440
that's not going to work if you don't

228
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,120
have a brokenheartedness you hear what

229
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,399
I'm saying you can get through the right

230
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:21,040
process and you'll never get to the end

231
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,959
and on a different issue everybody's

232
00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:24,640
talking here about in Israel we want to

233
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,240
have a

234
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:31,160
um uh a a governmental uh investigation

235
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,160
of what went wrong a year and a half ago

236
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,360
at the beginning of the war the problem

237
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,279
is that everybody in the country is

238
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:38,279
already prejudged as to what side

239
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:40,040
they're on you can't you could never

240
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,680
possibly get to an objective Council

241
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:44,480
here who's going to do the investigation

242
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,880
everybody's screaming and yelling at

243
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,639
everybody and I'm saying we have to get

244
00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:49,000
to the point whether you're talking

245
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
about the war here in Israel or judicial

246
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,760
process of sin in the church is just you

247
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,360
have to get to the point you know what

248
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,000
we're all wrong we're all wrong stop in

249
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,760
in these situations there's no there's

250
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,920
no reason to come well I'm more

251
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,160
righteous than you I would okay and it

252
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,920
it's heartbreaking and so in the ca this

253
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,320
is not just a regul you're talking about

254
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,360
a sin with David who is the head of the

255
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,399
Community of Faith in his

256
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:19,639
generation it's

257
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:23,200
terrifying it's

258
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,200
terrifying I'm look at all these things

259
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,560
I said to myself go Asha what is there

260
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:29,079
something you missed here you know did

261
00:11:29,079 --> 00:11:31,000
did I miss have I missed anything about

262
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
myself it's interesting it says in

263
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,839
Ephesians 4 that lust of this world um

264
00:11:36,839 --> 00:11:39,720
are they are deceptive it's like you're

265
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,200
involved in L you don't even realize it

266
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,880
you're deceiving yourself while you're

267
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,279
involved in the lust it's it's aaz you

268
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:46,839
don't even see that it's wrong you

269
00:11:46,839 --> 00:11:49,760
you're justifying yourself while it's

270
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,800
happening you I ask myself God God have

271
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,600
I done it what you know the David said

272
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,760
you know don't let any of my sins be you

273
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,440
know hidden show Mom I was PR I was

274
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,920
thinking of a situation I 40 years ago I

275
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,560
was serving kind of in a youth pastor

276
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,920
situation gave this girl a hug everybody

277
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,399
was hugging every gave this girl a hug

278
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:12,839
you know and it got a sensual hug you

279
00:12:12,839 --> 00:12:15,120
know and I'm thinking the Lord brought

280
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,279
that back to my mind said you know well

281
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:20,760
I can excuse it dismiss it no no it was

282
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,360
disgusting there's no there's no way you

283
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,279
can justify anything you know you just

284
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:28,320
have to realize that we're living in a

285
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,120
sinful world and we have to get away

286
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,639
from it let's look at another example

287
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:36,000
look with me in uh Ezra chapter 9

288
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,639
remember Ezra and Nehemiah are kind of

289
00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:39,399
the last two historical books of the

290
00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:42,760
Bible Nehemiah is actually after Ezra

291
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,880
the Book of Esther actually comes first

292
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,360
the the situation with Esther happened

293
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,240
before Ezra and that happened before

294
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,160
Nehemiah but this is one of the last

295
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,320
last books of the Bible it's an

296
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,199
incredible situation God has returned

297
00:12:56,199 --> 00:12:59,199
the people of Israel from Exile they're

298
00:12:59,199 --> 00:13:00,320
coming back to Jerusalem they're

299
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,440
rebuilding the altar they're giving

300
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,360
worship they're I mean it's an

301
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,680
incredible Victorious moment of the

302
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:11,680
restoration of God it's just wonderful I

303
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:13,519
mean you can almost learn everything

304
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:15,800
about Apostolic Ministry from the book

305
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,560
of Ezra and Nehemiah it's it's so

306
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:21,079
wonderful and the last two chapters did

307
00:13:21,079 --> 00:13:25,160
you notice that the last two chapters of

308
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,680
the book of isra are all dedicated to

309
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:29,680
repent

310
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:32,680
of sexual sin on behalf of the

311
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:35,040
leadership well I missed that what was

312
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,720
that in the Bible let's look at Ezra

313
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,959
chapter 9 what happens now in their day

314
00:13:39,959 --> 00:13:42,639
the the sin was they the they they

315
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:45,480
married the the Canaanite women this was

316
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,519
before the time of Yeshua had they had

317
00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:49,760
they had seed with the Canaanite woman

318
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,320
they would have ruined the promise of

319
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,279
the coming of the Holy seed of Yeshua

320
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:56,519
and would have basically damned all of

321
00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:59,440
the human race for eternity with they

322
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,320
would have ruined the ability for Yeshua

323
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,680
to come God would have had to wipe us

324
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:05,360
all out again like he didn't know but

325
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,759
but in this case but so I'm not going to

326
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:09,079
deal with the fact that they married

327
00:14:09,079 --> 00:14:11,480
that that situation doesn't apply really

328
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,279
to anybody here today but it still was a

329
00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:17,160
a type of sexual sin so we're looking at

330
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,279
and um so let's look and we're in Ezra

331
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:21,839
9

332
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:25,839
UM chap chapter 9 verse2 and said second

333
00:14:25,839 --> 00:14:27,160
half of the verse so that the holy seed

334
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,079
is mixed with the people of the lands

335
00:14:29,079 --> 00:14:32,240
and then he says indeed the hand of the

336
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,240
leaders and the rulers have been

337
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,160
uppermost in this

338
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,079
sin

339
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:42,320
yo wasn't just the sin of the people

340
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,720
every was but he said you know he said

341
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,279
the leaders have been even

342
00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:50,040
worse Y and then and then how does

343
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,079
react or I'm saying somebody who's

344
00:14:52,079 --> 00:14:54,040
leaving a judicial process to help solve

345
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,519
and deal with all these situations and

346
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:58,639
we're into that you know said so I heard

347
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:00,160
this thing I tore my garment and my

348
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,959
robed and plucked out some of my hair

349
00:15:01,959 --> 00:15:04,360
from my head and my beard I sat down

350
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,560
astonished and everyone who was trembled

351
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,199
at the words of the god of Israel

352
00:15:08,199 --> 00:15:09,639
assembled to me because of the

353
00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:11,360
transgression of those who have been

354
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,600
carried away captive and I stand

355
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,959
astonished and he goes on and all just

356
00:15:15,959 --> 00:15:18,199
repenting and he says he says he goes on

357
00:15:18,199 --> 00:15:20,839
and say I'm 're we

358
00:15:20,839 --> 00:15:24,600
are this is humiliating it's humiliating

359
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,360
for the whole people of God he said I'm

360
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,639
ashamed God we're in a generation where

361
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:30,560
you're miraculously storing the

362
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,399
restoring the people of God you're

363
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,199
rebuilding the altar you I mean we are

364
00:15:34,199 --> 00:15:36,279
living in that generation we're living

365
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:38,199
in the generation of the restoration of

366
00:15:38,199 --> 00:15:40,920
Israel Jerusalem Israel becoming the

367
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,279
lead nation in the Middle East the the

368
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:45,040
the Messianic Remnant I mean we have

369
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,040
over 100 congregations in Israel today

370
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,880
maybe 200 of them if you count the house

371
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,959
congregations then we have it's this is

372
00:15:50,959 --> 00:15:53,720
a time of incredible Victory and right

373
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,560
in the middle of that we have sin in the

374
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,480
camp it's it's it's humili I mean you

375
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,480
don't that's you can he said what can I

376
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,360
say I'm just going to rip out my beard

377
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,319
rip out my hair I'd rip out my hair if I

378
00:16:04,319 --> 00:16:07,079
had any left but but we have um but it's

379
00:16:07,079 --> 00:16:10,560
it's just you see him reacting now after

380
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,880
he does that then he goes into this long

381
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,680
the basically all the chapter 10 the

382
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,240
last chapter is him making a judicial

383
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,680
process so I'm not against judicial

384
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,160
we're doing you have to do that that's

385
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,000
the right thing to do he said now we're

386
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,199
going to set up we're going to interview

387
00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:26,680
each person we're going to come through

388
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,240
this and we're going to we're going to

389
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,480
check it we got got to hear the evidence

390
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,120
because remember um Nicodemus said he

391
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,440
said how can you have righteousness if

392
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,240
you don't hear both sides of the story

393
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,120
whenever you hear one side of the story

394
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,319
it doesn't matter what the allegations

395
00:16:41,319 --> 00:16:43,120
are on this side or this side if you've

396
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,519
only heard one side of the story you're

397
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:47,160
wrong you be before you start you've got

398
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,639
the process you got to hear both sides

399
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:49,720
you got to compare them you got to work

400
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,959
it out and he says no we're going to do

401
00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:53,720
all that the people said yeah that don't

402
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,040
we're praying first of all we tear our

403
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,680
heart we tear our garments and then we

404
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,600
go through this process we've got to go

405
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,920
through this process to work and he said

406
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,399
they said it's going to take some time

407
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:05,400
for us to hear everybody work person by

408
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,319
person name by name this in every

409
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:08,880
situation make a decision make a

410
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,640
judgment you have to do that and all I'm

411
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,799
saying and we for who so dedicate

412
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:15,880
ourselves to do that all I'm saying if

413
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,959
we go right to that and skip over the

414
00:17:18,959 --> 00:17:21,520
part of tearing our heart and tearing

415
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,360
our garments and say oh my God what's

416
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:25,079
happened this is

417
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:27,160
humiliating and people are hurt people

418
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,840
are hurt on all sides

419
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,760
it's interesting I noticed that that

420
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,799
when he did this they said in vers in

421
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:43,919
chapter 10 he said it was the 20th day

422
00:17:43,919 --> 00:17:45,520
of the 9th

423
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,200
month and he did he said in three days

424
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,039
from now it'll be the 20 so he did this

425
00:17:50,039 --> 00:17:52,240
three days before the 20th day of the

426
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,000
9th month which is in the Hebrew

427
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,400
calendar

428
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,400
today amazing

429
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,240
huh this 3 days before the 20th would be

430
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,960
the Shabbat this is the three days it's

431
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,280
the ninth month of it been so I was

432
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,840
realiz I just felt like the the

433
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,880
anointing of this the revelation of this

434
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,720
chapter we're living it you know not

435
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,960
just the date but you know what I'm

436
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,080
saying I'm just realizing we he there's

437
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,960
both the part of the broken heart and

438
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,200
it's tearing our hearts and then there's

439
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,120
the part of the judicial process you

440
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:27,159
have to do both you know but um but what

441
00:18:27,159 --> 00:18:30,360
happens is because everybody's

442
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,760
scrambling because of the allegations

443
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,120
and people are heard on all different

444
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,640
sides people are trying to you know what

445
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,159
I'm saying kind of justify themselves we

446
00:18:38,159 --> 00:18:40,039
haven't even gotten to the point we all

447
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:43,159
need to just stop and start crying and

448
00:18:43,159 --> 00:18:45,120
just humble ourselves and say got a

449
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:47,400
little humility Holiness and and a

450
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,400
brokenheartedness to be in the right

451
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,760
process is wherever it goes people say

452
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:52,799
to me what do you think about this

453
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:54,559
situation this situation you know I'm

454
00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:56,000
talking about a whole bunch of famous

455
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,280
situations and and I say I I they don't

456
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,480
have an opinion because I'm trying to

457
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,679
serve the process of trying to be trying

458
00:19:04,679 --> 00:19:06,600
to be humble and objective and we we

459
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,080
we're hurting for everybody and and

460
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,400
people have been wounded you know I just

461
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,880
want to say um one more thing about the

462
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,200
story of of

463
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,880
um uh David and Beva I used to say that

464
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,760
uh was the only passage in the Bible my

465
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,400
wife and I don't agree about you know as

466
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,559
a man I read I said can you believe that

467
00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:29,600
girl taking over Clos in the front of

468
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,039
the king's window how could she do that

469
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:34,000
my wife said are you what are you

470
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,480
talking about I sure God the king came

471
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,240
up and you know abducted her what are

472
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,880
you talking about so and I realized that

473
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,559
um maybe there's a little truth on both

474
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:44,919
sides but Betty was more right than me

475
00:19:44,919 --> 00:19:46,880
because when you look at after it God's

476
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,200
judgment comes more on him than it was

477
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,480
on her you know so it's it's so he was

478
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,640
more responsible you know she can't well

479
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,159
she flirted well okay but you're the

480
00:19:55,159 --> 00:19:57,520
king you know you have to you have to

481
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,039
deal with it so it's a it's a

482
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:01,400
heartbreaking situation and in the

483
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,679
history of

484
00:20:02,679 --> 00:20:07,200
Israel the the the sin repeated itself

485
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,919
over and over and over and over and over

486
00:20:09,919 --> 00:20:12,159
again and it caused the murder and

487
00:20:12,159 --> 00:20:14,960
adultery and it just it seemed to

488
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,520
destroy the kingdom of God every time

489
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,280
the kingdom of God would come to a high

490
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,520
point it would get destroyed by these

491
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,400
things it's a heartbreaking chain of

492
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,000
events for that to happen now um let's

493
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,679
skip over all that for a moment I want

494
00:20:31,679 --> 00:20:34,320
and let's let's come up to the um the

495
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,640
story of the conception of our beloved

496
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,679
Messiah who is the son of

497
00:20:40,679 --> 00:20:42,679
David the great great great great

498
00:20:42,679 --> 00:20:45,400
grandson of David look what it says here

499
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,760
this was the angle I mean there's so

500
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,120
many good things to speak about the

501
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:51,679
conception of the Messiah but uh here is

502
00:20:51,679 --> 00:20:54,120
one it just jumped out at me was Luke

503
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:55,480
Chapter

504
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,799
1:35 of course I read this all the time

505
00:20:57,799 --> 00:20:59,760
I just kind of went over it but notice

506
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,360
the word holy is in this verse

507
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:05,360
twice it says Luke Chapter 1:35 and it

508
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:07,159
says and the angel answered this is

509
00:21:07,159 --> 00:21:09,080
Gabriel comes to me said it's said you

510
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,480
know Miriam is there and she says to him

511
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,799
well how how am I going to be with child

512
00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:17,039
I mean I'm I'm a virgin you know and and

513
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:18,960
you know when if if she's coming from an

514
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,760
ultra Orthodox Jewish background she

515
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,720
probably was she may have never even

516
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,400
talked to a man before she definitely

517
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,960
never touched a man she never been in

518
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,520
the same room with a man before I mean

519
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,360
what what are you talking about you know

520
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:32,120
and the angel answered and said to her

521
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:35,720
the holy spirit will come upon you and

522
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,120
the power of the most high will

523
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:40,240
overshadow you and therefore the holy

524
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,600
thing which will be born in you shall be

525
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,039
called The Son of God here's a different

526
00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:47,559
angle that I want us to look at

527
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:51,640
this they she is the great great great

528
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,000
great granddaughter and Joseph is also

529
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,720
the great great great grandson basically

530
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,080
of of David Bash

531
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,799
and we're talking about what how many

532
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:05,120
generations it is 14 by 14 Generations

533
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,799
coming up till you get to them of

534
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,840
generations of of sexual sin that has

535
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,120
been doing huge damage to the kingdom of

536
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:18,400
God and she

537
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:23,520
wins she wins she breaks the curse and

538
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,279
she says look I've kept myself holy and

539
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,159
you can see it then you can try to get

540
00:22:28,159 --> 00:22:29,919
the purp purpose of she say look I'm the

541
00:22:29,919 --> 00:22:31,559
I'm the great great and if we understand

542
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:33,960
it correctly on her mom's side she was

543
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,240
from the the tribe of the Cohen family

544
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,919
and in the father's side from David and

545
00:22:38,919 --> 00:22:40,760
probably from Joseph was on David

546
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,320
David's family so she says she said I'm

547
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,120
like the I'm the great great great

548
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:49,039
granddaughter of of the of the Kings and

549
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:51,600
the priests of our people and I have

550
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,720
determined that I am going to keep

551
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,520
myself holy in this perverted generation

552
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,960
and she's looking back at that angel and

553
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:01,960
she's like saying I mean you know I'm

554
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,720
not taking any of this promise from you

555
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,640

556
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,640
Holiness I don't need your promise I'm

557
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,039
watching out for my Holiness and you

558
00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:13,240
could almost feel him smiling so yeah

559
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,200
you

560
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,480
know yeah you won you won

561
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,039
girl now I don't believe Mary was born

562
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:24,559
of an Immaculate Conception that's not

563
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:26,760
what I'm talking about I'm talking about

564
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,600
a plain old Jewish Israeli girl here

565
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,640
that fought against all the forces of

566
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,480
sexual immorality and stood before

567
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,600
angels and the forces of Heaven and Hell

568
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,200
and said I'm going to maintain my Purity

569
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,000
he says yes and the holy spirit's going

570
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,520
to come upon you and the child that will

571
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,600
born will be born of you will be holy

572
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,279
because you have maintained yourself

573
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:50,159
holy and this this holy child is going

574
00:23:50,159 --> 00:23:53,480
to come and save the universe and it's

575
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,760
partly because of you dear Miram

576
00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:01,080
this is the great great great great

577
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,279

Betha he said I want you

00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,000

580
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,720

00:24:22,159 --> 00:24:27,000
out well but what a victory the the

587
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,840
victory of the conception of the Messiah

588
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,679
is the victory of a people walking in

589
00:24:32,679 --> 00:24:35,200
Holiness overcoming the carnality and

590
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,720
the sinfulness of the world around him

591
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,600
wow what an encouraging thing what a way

592
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,960
to look at this story look at this in

593
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,520
the light of Holiness and victory folk

594
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,440
this is good news good news but despite

595
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,159
us messing this up all over the place

596
00:24:51,159 --> 00:24:53,880
Hallelujah Yeshua is a holy Child

597
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,640
conceived in Holiness by the way you

598
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,240
know there was as I can tell there's

599
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,000
nothing miraculous about his

600
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,679
he had a regular birth the miracle was

601
00:25:00,679 --> 00:25:03,080
the conception that was when the miracle

602
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,720
that's why we believe this holiday was

603
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,320
not his birth but actually the

604
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,200
conception but that's when the light

605
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,799
came into the world and she received it

606
00:25:09,799 --> 00:25:11,919
as a holy vessel the Holy Light came

607
00:25:11,919 --> 00:25:14,559
into her cuz she maintained herself

608
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:16,840
maintained herself holy what a victory

609
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,120
and she and you got she she went the

610
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:23,240
rest of her life being mocked at by

611
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,720
everybody in her

612
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,360
City yeah Virgin Mary

613
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:31,279
you know they looked at her her

614
00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:33,760
reputation was a girl that had said got

615
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,919
pregnant outside of marriage you know

616
00:25:37,919 --> 00:25:39,679
and she kept her Holiness in the light

617
00:25:39,679 --> 00:25:41,880
of all that an amazing thing all right

618
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,039
one last thing I want to share and that

619
00:25:44,039 --> 00:25:46,240
has a relationship our relationship to

620
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,320
the world um both John and James speak

621
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,120
of not loving or not being a friend of

622
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:56,480
the world it's in 1 John 2 and then

623
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,919
James 4 let's look at one of them let's

624
00:25:58,919 --> 00:26:02,559
look in the uh in James

625
00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:04,600
4

626
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,880
um I think it may be a little more

627
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,360
relevant for although it's the same part

628
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:12,679
Point James

629
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,760
4

630
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,279
verse4 he says um you adulterers and

631
00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:21,600
adulteresses do you not know that

632
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,520
friendship with the world is enmity with

633
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,039
God whoever therefore would be a friend

634
00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:31,640
of the world is an enemy of

635
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,480
godo that's a pretty tough verse the

636
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,440
verse in first John 2 which says

637
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,480
something similar is but it says a

638
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,039
little different in verse in 1 John 2 it

639
00:26:42,039 --> 00:26:44,039
says don't love the world we know a

640
00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:45,679
little everybody knows a love Greek to

641
00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:47,919
know that love is agape so he says don't

642
00:26:47,919 --> 00:26:51,440
Agape the world the world out there but

643
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,200
in but in in James he says don't be a

644
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,799
friend to it which is the fil so he's

645
00:26:56,799 --> 00:26:59,399
saying in in and and I so I was thinking

646
00:26:59,399 --> 00:27:01,840
for most of us I'm I'm I'm using the

647
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,840
James one because I'm saying most of us

648
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,760
we don't love the world I don't love the

649
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,200
things of the world even love the things

650
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,279
world I don't I don't desire them love

651
00:27:09,279 --> 00:27:11,159
them but there's a part of us you know

652
00:27:11,159 --> 00:27:12,840
I'd like to be friends a little bit you

653
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,760

00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,480
society you want to be you know I'd like

657
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,399
to hang out with the with the synagogue

659
00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:25,240

you've ever ever been to you know I'd

661
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:29,640

watch a TV show every now and then you

665
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,799
get about 2 minutes and then you got to

666
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:38,480

00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,640
sorry Lord you know and what so it comes

674
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,519
to the place where we have to realize if

675
00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:59,919
all this is true that that we we can't

676
00:27:59,919 --> 00:28:02,519
be friends with this world we're you

677
00:28:02,519 --> 00:28:04,480
have to live as kind of a reject you

678
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,399
know it's not going to work out you can

679
00:28:06,399 --> 00:28:08,320
be nice you can smile at everybody and

680
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,600
you can have grace and favor that

681
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,640
doesn't mean you want to have grace and

682
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,320
favor people will appreciate us because

683
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,840
they see us walking with the Lord but it

684
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,159
we can't be buddies with him you know

685
00:28:18,159 --> 00:28:21,679
and uh I'm I'm working on that one I

686
00:28:21,679 --> 00:28:23,360
really I have no love for the world I

687
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:25,080
have no desire for the but I kind of

688
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,039
would like to you know just be friends

689
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:28,919
with them want to be friendly people you

690
00:28:28,919 --> 00:28:30,919
know but it doesn't that doesn't work

691
00:28:30,919 --> 00:28:33,919
out you know you can show them love you

692
00:28:33,919 --> 00:28:35,799
can show people you can be friends to

693
00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:38,039
them but you can't be friendly with them

694
00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:40,120
you know and it's it's a different thing

695
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,200
you know I'm not saying don't be

696
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,480
friendly don't be loving we we pour the

697
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,919
love and friendship of Yeshua to the

698
00:28:45,919 --> 00:28:48,399
people around us but we can't go down to

699
00:28:48,399 --> 00:28:50,440
try to be accepted on in what they're

700
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,039
doing and we can't be with them on that

701
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:54,440
level as Yeshua said you got to be in

702
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,120
the world but not of the same spirit and

703
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,600
and you know that I'm just

704
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,600
confessing that that's a little it's a

705
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:01,880
little because there's something about

706
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,399
it we're people of love we want to have

707
00:29:03,399 --> 00:29:04,760
friend we want to be friends with the

708
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,399
people around you it doesn't work so um

709
00:29:08,399 --> 00:29:10,000
looking this and and I'm I'm also

710
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,679
thinking of the the the the sexual sins

711
00:29:13,679 --> 00:29:16,519
that have been part of the the body not

712
00:29:16,519 --> 00:29:18,760
just in the leaders but in in

713
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,120
everyone it you know the people that I

714
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,120
know they they wasn't people that were

715
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,039
looking for sin it wasn't that kind of

716
00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:27,799
things it was just that we live

717
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:29,440
particular the western church it's kind

718
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,320
of like we're Believers but we're also

719
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:32,720
just friendly with the world you know

720
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,200
it's kind of like we're cool we're hip

721
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,320
we're going over it doesn't work the

722
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,120
people weren't looking to sin you know

723
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,720
they were but we were trying to be

724
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,559
friendly with the world and when you're

725
00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:43,600
doing that you don't realize that you're

726
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,720
slowly getting stuck in the in the honey

727
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,519
and the mud and you're getting and you

728
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:50,399
don't realize it and you're getting and

729
00:29:50,399 --> 00:29:52,039
then all of a sudden you say what

730
00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:54,559
happened and I realize that we we have

731
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:57,760
to have another step of just really

732
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,840
coming coming to a deep understanding

733
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,760
that we can't be friends with the values

734
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,960
that are in the world and we in Israel

735
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,840
for instance if we go toward the 90% of

736
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,799
the Orthodox Jewish World

737
00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:13,640
they hate Jesus even though they don't

738
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,600
know who he is but I'm saying and we

739
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,760
can't be Messianic Jews in it and the

740
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,000
world the rest of Israeli Society is

741
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,120
saturated in sexual sin and Rebellion

742
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,559
because we we got to walk in a holy Lane

743
00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:28,679
in between that and and love everybody

744
00:30:28,679 --> 00:30:30,200
around us and be a witness you know what

745
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,960
I'm saying but we have to wake up that

746
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,760
that we we can't relax in that

747
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,000
environment and um so that's it I just

748
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,120
want to

749
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,679
um pray and let me just go over those

750
00:30:43,679 --> 00:30:47,679
points again we have to have a deep

751
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,720
brokenheartedness Holiness and the fear

752
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,960
of God and humility when we look at the

753
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,399
sexual sins around us on whatever the

754
00:30:54,399 --> 00:30:57,120
sides are particularly realizing how

755
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,360
damaging that could be when those of us

756
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,080
and all of you were all being trained

757
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,440
for leadership there's nobody that's a

758
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,639
Believer that's not being trained for

759
00:31:03,639 --> 00:31:05,480
leadership you got to realize the more

760
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:06,919
you're trained in leadership the more

761
00:31:06,919 --> 00:31:08,760
prices it's going to have the more bad

762
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,639
effects it's going to have and it's come

763
00:31:10,639 --> 00:31:13,240
to ruin the kingdom of God all this time

764
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,799
but thank

765
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:17,240
God Joseph and Mary and the people in

766
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,760
their generation overcome that she beat

767
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,760
the World by saying pure and then when

768
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,159
she gave Yeshua to the world then Yeshua

769
00:31:26,159 --> 00:31:28,360
is the light he is the he is the Holy

770
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,200
One she's not the Holy One she just

771
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,120
maintained her her sexual Purity but

772
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,240
he's the Holy One and he's coming we

773
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,200
have Holiness that comes from him and

774
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,240
the and the the story of of Christmas of

775
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,919
the conception of Yeshua is also part of

776
00:31:41,919 --> 00:31:45,480
the victory of the Holiness of God over

777
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,120
the sinfulness of this world hallelujah

778
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,320
hallelujah but we have to watch out not

779
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,600
to just try to be friendly on the same

780
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,000
level as the world around us and I was

781
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,039
just uh so I want to pray I just want to

782
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:00,760
also pray for this generation the

783
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,480
younger generation Believers or not

784
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,600
Believers as I've been tell we've been

785
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:05,919
talking about this with our family

786
00:32:05,919 --> 00:32:09,480
members with their that know the age of

787
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,519
our children and grandchildren already

788
00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:15,320
that that that they've been come become

789
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,760
totally um I'm not trying to overstate

790
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,039
something but dysfunctional in the

791
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:21,039
ability to have any kind of

792
00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:22,919
interpersonal relationship they they

793
00:32:22,919 --> 00:32:24,200
nobody can figure out how to get married

794
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,080
because the young boys and girls today

795
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,399
can't even talk to one another they

796
00:32:27,399 --> 00:32:29,720
don't even know what to do well let's

797
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,360
just get a dog you know I mean just it's

798
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,799
just it's a it's a difficult world

799
00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:38,240
because the the generations of this

800
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,639
sinfulness and worldliness has caused a

801
00:32:40,639 --> 00:32:43,039
dysfunction not only in not only in

802
00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:45,320
gender confusion but just in men and

803
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:46,639
women don't know how to talk to one

804
00:32:46,639 --> 00:32:47,679
they're afraid to get married they're

805
00:32:47,679 --> 00:32:48,840
afraid to have children they're afraid

806
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,880
to it's nothing the the whole thing is

807
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,760
falling apart but not with us we need to

808
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,080
pray for the Holiness of God that can

809
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,799
result in help healthy normal

810
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:00,399
relationships what are you trying to be

811
00:33:00,399 --> 00:33:02,120
super holy go I'm trying to see if we

812
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,200
can have some normal relationships

813
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,159
Hallelujah and

814
00:33:06,159 --> 00:33:08,559
um okay these were some heavy things so

815
00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:10,760
let's just pray Lord God just pray with

816
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,679

817
00:33:11,679 --> 00:33:15,880
and Heavenly Father we ask

818
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,320
you for humility for Holiness and for

819
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,600
brokenheartedness in the light of the

820
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,519
worldliness around us Lord God

821
00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:30,120
and I realize Lord that none of us has

822
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,000
walked through this pure there none of

823
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,600

824
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,639

heart and give it to you in this season

842
00:34:20,599 --> 00:34:23,839
