WEBVTT

00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:03.000
all right hello beloved well

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.799
um I want to speak today a little bit

00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:09.519
about uh titling my heart is humility

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.639
Holiness and

00:00:11.639 --> 00:00:15.280
brokenheartedness in the light of sexual

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:19.039
sin among spiritual leaders little tough

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.720
subject but it's also I'm thinking about

00:00:21.720 --> 00:00:24.279
this uh season we kind of end up that

00:00:24.279 --> 00:00:25.599
way I'll give you it's going to end up

00:00:25.599 --> 00:00:28.760
in a good way that in speaking of this

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.119
week when we think about the conception

00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.360
of Yeshua in in Miriam that she was the

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:38.640
in some ways the ultimate victory of

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.760
sexual Pur over sexual sin you usually

00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:42.600
don't think about that but that's where

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:44.440
we're going so hold on to that for a

00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:47.840
minute so we'll start in um how could we

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:48.960
not Psalm

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.399
51 Psalm 51 it's a prayer that we really

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.559
ought to be saying every day I try to

00:00:54.559 --> 00:00:58.359
sing it to myself every day

00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.680
live but we'll pick it up but Psalm

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.920
51:2 a um a pure heart God created me

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.119
for those who read Hebrew it doesn't say

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:17.200
it says it's in the imperative forms

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:18.799
that's in

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.560
crate and um a right Spirit Renew on the

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.159
inside of me

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:32.759
well you hear the fear of God here do

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:36.439
not cast me away from

00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.399
you and and do not take your holy spirit

00:01:40.399 --> 00:01:46.280
away from me the the fear of God

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.240
um restore to me the joy of of your

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:55.799
salvation and in a generous Spirit uh uh

00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.039
support me lift me up we see him

00:01:59.039 --> 00:02:02.039
repenting at such a deep

00:02:02.039 --> 00:02:07.000
level um David who had killed Goliath

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.800
the great hero and then Fallen before

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.879
Beva I mean incredible contrast there

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.920
and he's so he's so broken and he's

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:17.640
crying out that he recognizes the

00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:21.280
Holiness of God that he could lose it he

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.160
could lose it all I mean it cast me away

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:26.400
from you take your holy spirit away from

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.319
me because it's it he's going he's he's

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:33.160
taking us to a depth of of uh of

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:35.599
repentance here that I I don't know that

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.879
we find it it's I almost feel that God

00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:39.440
allowed him to go through that sin so he

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:41.920
could write this Psalm it's to show us

00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:44.519
how to how to get over sin and and

00:02:44.519 --> 00:02:47.120
repentance and guilt but then he goes on

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.920
toward the end sort of finishing it off

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:54.000
in verse 19 it says

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.440
it says and um sacrifices of God and

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:04.959
from here I got the title of this

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:08.840
message are a broken spirit and a broken

00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.799
heart and cast down the Lord will not

00:03:11.799 --> 00:03:15.640
despise it and so he's he's looking at

00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:19.519
this sin that he did and he's he's just

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:24.680
crushed by it he's crushed by it and um

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.440
he's doing that obviously in the light

00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:29.480
of he's it's not just kind of a normal

00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:31.640
person sinning you know he's doing this

00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:34.400
in a light of he recognizes God's

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.319
kingdom he recognizes the Holiness on

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.920
himself his calling the the kingdom of

00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:42.319
God and it's not like he sinned I think

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.920
he's think I sinned okay God conf it's

00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:47.400
like I've blown it for the kingdom of

00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.400
God he's he's terrified and he's broken

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.120
and um and he realizes here in the

00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.560
middle of that somehow that this is a

00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.360
good thing you know we always you know

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:00.560
Western people we always like to have

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:01.720
something up it's got to have a happy

00:04:01.720 --> 00:04:03.159
ending you know you got to talk about

00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:04.480
Joy you don't want to talk about

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:06.640
Holiness or humility so sorry if you

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:08.200
don't like this message but it's from

00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:11.400
the Bible and uh so but he's saying well

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.560
this is a good thing Lord I you've

00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.680
you've taken me to a place that I'm so

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.280
aware of my own

00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:24.240
inability to overcome my own flesh in my

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.040
own sin and he comes he just goes to a

00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.080
zero place and somehow in the mid he

00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:33.120
says wow this is I can feel as broken as

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.320
I am you're you're pleased with the

00:04:35.320 --> 00:04:37.280
sacrifice it's almost like you've been

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:39.600
waiting hey was was some human being

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.639
realize how sinful you are come on

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.320
repent show me where you're at and and

00:04:44.320 --> 00:04:46.600
somehow in the midst of his own fear of

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.320
God I could be Cast Away From God I

00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:51.479
could be destroying the kingdom of God

00:04:51.479 --> 00:04:53.680
he says well God's pleased with this

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:55.960
place of loneliness and Brokenness that

00:04:55.960 --> 00:04:58.479
I've come to and I'm giving it to you

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:02.039
God in in the in uh as a as a way of

00:05:02.039 --> 00:05:05.960
worship there's a purity a sweetness

00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:08.800
coming out of his Brokenness notice of

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.840
course the first the first verse up on

00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:17.199
it and it says this is a Psalm of David

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.840
says he says and this is when Nathan

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:24.560
came to him the prophet after he had

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.600
gone into bcha in other words this is

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.280
his repenting in the light of being

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:32.479
rebuked uked for having sinned with bcha

00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:35.400
now B the bcha sin was a a pretty

00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:38.960
difficult sin because it was it he he

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:41.319
committed adultery and then he lied

00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.880
about it and then he committed murder to

00:05:43.880 --> 00:05:45.600
try to get the evidence away from him I

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.720
mean pretty bad stuff you know this was

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.000
not like just missed the Holiness of God

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.960
he he he sinned on the the some of the

00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:57.199
big ones you know and uh and he's

00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.720
shocked and he's aware of the fact that

00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:01.440
it's not just he did that but he did it

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:05.000
he was the king of Israel God made an

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.280
eternal Covenant with him he said you

00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:09.960
are the Messiah the Messiah the Savior

00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:12.080
the whole world salvation is going to

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:13.520
come through your seed and he just

00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:15.960
realized that I may have just blown the

00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:18.160
whole Promises of God by committing

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.720
adultery I've ruined the promises of the

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.039
coming of the Messiah I mean he's he's

00:06:24.039 --> 00:06:26.080
stunned well I'm saying that in the

00:06:26.080 --> 00:06:27.120
light

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.759
of this year has been a difficult year

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:35.240
for us there's been cases of allegations

00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.199
of sexual sin against leaders across the

00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.560
world not one not two not three not four

00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.440
not five and

00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:46.000
unfortunately a lot of the situations

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.520
seem to get to me somehow but but I uh

00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:52.400
um and they're

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:54.680
complicated because what happens in a

00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.000
situation like this you have you have an

00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.080
event that happens usually happens when

00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:01.400
nobody's there there so who's whose

00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:03.680
evidence you you have the the emotional

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.759
response is the exactly opposite usually

00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:07.560
between the men and the women and then

00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:08.840
if you are talking about spiritual

00:07:08.840 --> 00:07:11.319
leaders you have an imbalance of

00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:12.440
emotional

00:07:12.440 --> 00:07:14.440
psychological positioning with it that

00:07:14.440 --> 00:07:16.720
becomes abusive whether the person meant

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.039
for it to be abusive and then you have

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:21.039
allegations and then what can get proved

00:07:21.039 --> 00:07:22.759
and then what cannot get proved and then

00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.919
it's whoa it is so complicated I mean

00:07:26.919 --> 00:07:30.120
I've had to spend hundreds of hours

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.720
this year dealing with these

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.319
situations and none of them are very

00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.879
nice and everybody's hurt everybody's

00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.280
hurt on all the sides it's it's it's

00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:42.879
kind of like I mean this in a spiritual

00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.199
way it's disgusting I mean it's like we

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.800
all just want to vomit it up in in in I

00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.800
I mean in a right way God's God's

00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.000
dealing with this and you

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.720
realize God is not embarrassed about

00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.720
these kind of things we're embarrassed

00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.159
but God is like hey you want to sin and

00:08:00.159 --> 00:08:02.919
remember what happened to David that he

00:08:02.919 --> 00:08:05.319
God said will you sin in in

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.639
private I'm going to display it in

00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.639
public so his son Rebels against him and

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.159
he commits adultery for all of David's

00:08:13.159 --> 00:08:15.159
wives and concubines on the roof in

00:08:15.159 --> 00:08:16.879
front of everybody puts it on the front

00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.080
page of the newspaper I mean it's just

00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:22.800
like it's it's horrible and God somehow

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.360
in God's

00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.319
holiness he he desires to have these

00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.960
things displayed it's totally humil for

00:08:29.960 --> 00:08:32.760
us human beings to be involved in this

00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:35.839
but it's but it's God is so interested

00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:39.399
in in displaying the wrongness of sin

00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:40.760
that he wants to get this things all

00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:42.680
these things out and it's very hard to

00:08:42.680 --> 00:08:46.920
work with you know now we um with with

00:08:46.920 --> 00:08:48.839
ton our ministry we've put a lot of

00:08:48.839 --> 00:08:50.839
emphasis on you know my book Covenant

00:08:50.839 --> 00:08:53.120
relationships Dan's book due process

00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.440
where really into wanting to handle

00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.839
these all these situations correctly and

00:08:58.839 --> 00:09:00.440
that's what takes the hundreds of hours

00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:01.800
cuz you got to you got to listen to

00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:03.720
everybody's side and you got to try to

00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.480
weigh it objectively it's almost

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.959
impossible cuz the the situation is so

00:09:07.959 --> 00:09:10.880
emotionally Laden they try to get to but

00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:14.560
I want to say with all of our good

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:17.959
intentions of due process and covenantal

00:09:17.959 --> 00:09:20.000
relationships and all these right forms

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.519
of dealing something I'm saying this as

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.440
the president of tun

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.560
Global no process is going to

00:09:26.560 --> 00:09:28.760
work it doesn't matter how good your

00:09:28.760 --> 00:09:30.600
processes are

00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.240
you have to deal with sin you know and

00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:34.760
there's something about this and I've

00:09:34.760 --> 00:09:37.079
heard part of like I said so many

00:09:37.079 --> 00:09:38.760
conversations on this person's right

00:09:38.760 --> 00:09:40.120
this person's wrong and this you know

00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:41.519
what we all just have to be

00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.560
brokenhearted about this situation we

00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:46.360
just have to cry we have to it it's we

00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.120
have to Humble ourselves we have to

00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.040
realize that we're we're not holy and

00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:52.120
we're standing before a holy

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:55.279
God and and okay we have to listen to

00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:56.760
this person listen to this person who's

00:09:56.760 --> 00:09:58.440
right how much punishment how much do

00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.200
what how do we comfort those how do we

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.760
heal everybody's everybody's hurt

00:10:01.760 --> 00:10:04.320
everybody's broken but I'm saying in

00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.160
addition to all our right processing

00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:08.320
which I believe in I believe in Covenant

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.519
relationship and and judicial process

00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.440
and the right hand but in all of that

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.440
that's not going to work if you don't

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.120
have a brokenheartedness you hear what

00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:18.399
I'm saying you can get through the right

00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.040
process and you'll never get to the end

00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:22.959
and on a different issue everybody's

00:10:22.959 --> 00:10:24.640
talking here about in Israel we want to

00:10:24.640 --> 00:10:27.240
have a

00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:31.160
um uh a a governmental uh investigation

00:10:31.160 --> 00:10:33.160
of what went wrong a year and a half ago

00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:34.360
at the beginning of the war the problem

00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.279
is that everybody in the country is

00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.279
already prejudged as to what side

00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.040
they're on you can't you could never

00:10:40.040 --> 00:10:42.680
possibly get to an objective Council

00:10:42.680 --> 00:10:44.480
here who's going to do the investigation

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.880
everybody's screaming and yelling at

00:10:45.880 --> 00:10:47.639
everybody and I'm saying we have to get

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.000
to the point whether you're talking

00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.000
about the war here in Israel or judicial

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.760
process of sin in the church is just you

00:10:54.760 --> 00:10:56.360
have to get to the point you know what

00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.000
we're all wrong we're all wrong stop in

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.760
in these situations there's no there's

00:11:01.760 --> 00:11:02.920
no reason to come well I'm more

00:11:02.920 --> 00:11:06.160
righteous than you I would okay and it

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:08.920
it's heartbreaking and so in the ca this

00:11:08.920 --> 00:11:10.320
is not just a regul you're talking about

00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.360
a sin with David who is the head of the

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.399
Community of Faith in his

00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.639
generation it's

00:11:20.560 --> 00:11:23.200
terrifying it's

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.200
terrifying I'm look at all these things

00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.560
I said to myself go Asha what is there

00:11:27.560 --> 00:11:29.079
something you missed here you know did

00:11:29.079 --> 00:11:31.000
did I miss have I missed anything about

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.000
myself it's interesting it says in

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.839
Ephesians 4 that lust of this world um

00:11:36.839 --> 00:11:39.720
are they are deceptive it's like you're

00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.200
involved in L you don't even realize it

00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:42.880
you're deceiving yourself while you're

00:11:42.880 --> 00:11:45.279
involved in the lust it's it's aaz you

00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.839
don't even see that it's wrong you

00:11:46.839 --> 00:11:49.760
you're justifying yourself while it's

00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:52.800
happening you I ask myself God God have

00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:55.600
I done it what you know the David said

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.760
you know don't let any of my sins be you

00:11:57.760 --> 00:12:01.440
know hidden show Mom I was PR I was

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.920
thinking of a situation I 40 years ago I

00:12:04.920 --> 00:12:06.560
was serving kind of in a youth pastor

00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:08.920
situation gave this girl a hug everybody

00:12:08.920 --> 00:12:10.399
was hugging every gave this girl a hug

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.839
you know and it got a sensual hug you

00:12:12.839 --> 00:12:15.120
know and I'm thinking the Lord brought

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.279
that back to my mind said you know well

00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.760
I can excuse it dismiss it no no it was

00:12:20.760 --> 00:12:23.360
disgusting there's no there's no way you

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.279
can justify anything you know you just

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.320
have to realize that we're living in a

00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.120
sinful world and we have to get away

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.639
from it let's look at another example

00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.000
look with me in uh Ezra chapter 9

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:37.639
remember Ezra and Nehemiah are kind of

00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:39.399
the last two historical books of the

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.760
Bible Nehemiah is actually after Ezra

00:12:42.760 --> 00:12:44.880
the Book of Esther actually comes first

00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:46.360
the the situation with Esther happened

00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.240
before Ezra and that happened before

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.160
Nehemiah but this is one of the last

00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:53.320
last books of the Bible it's an

00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.199
incredible situation God has returned

00:12:56.199 --> 00:12:59.199
the people of Israel from Exile they're

00:12:59.199 --> 00:13:00.320
coming back to Jerusalem they're

00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.440
rebuilding the altar they're giving

00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.360
worship they're I mean it's an

00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.680
incredible Victorious moment of the

00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:11.680
restoration of God it's just wonderful I

00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:13.519
mean you can almost learn everything

00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.800
about Apostolic Ministry from the book

00:13:15.800 --> 00:13:17.560
of Ezra and Nehemiah it's it's so

00:13:17.560 --> 00:13:21.079
wonderful and the last two chapters did

00:13:21.079 --> 00:13:25.160
you notice that the last two chapters of

00:13:25.160 --> 00:13:28.680
the book of isra are all dedicated to

00:13:28.680 --> 00:13:29.680
repent

00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:32.680
of sexual sin on behalf of the

00:13:32.680 --> 00:13:35.040
leadership well I missed that what was

00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:36.720
that in the Bible let's look at Ezra

00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:39.959
chapter 9 what happens now in their day

00:13:39.959 --> 00:13:42.639
the the sin was they the they they

00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.480
married the the Canaanite women this was

00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.519
before the time of Yeshua had they had

00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.760
they had seed with the Canaanite woman

00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:52.320
they would have ruined the promise of

00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.279
the coming of the Holy seed of Yeshua

00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.519
and would have basically damned all of

00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.440
the human race for eternity with they

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.320
would have ruined the ability for Yeshua

00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:02.680
to come God would have had to wipe us

00:14:02.680 --> 00:14:05.360
all out again like he didn't know but

00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.759
but in this case but so I'm not going to

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.079
deal with the fact that they married

00:14:09.079 --> 00:14:11.480
that that situation doesn't apply really

00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.279
to anybody here today but it still was a

00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.160
a type of sexual sin so we're looking at

00:14:17.160 --> 00:14:20.279
and um so let's look and we're in Ezra

00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:21.839
9

00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:25.839
UM chap chapter 9 verse2 and said second

00:14:25.839 --> 00:14:27.160
half of the verse so that the holy seed

00:14:27.160 --> 00:14:29.079
is mixed with the people of the lands

00:14:29.079 --> 00:14:32.240
and then he says indeed the hand of the

00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.240
leaders and the rulers have been

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.160
uppermost in this

00:14:38.160 --> 00:14:40.079
sin

00:14:40.079 --> 00:14:42.320
yo wasn't just the sin of the people

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:43.720
every was but he said you know he said

00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:45.279
the leaders have been even

00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:50.040
worse Y and then and then how does

00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:52.079
react or I'm saying somebody who's

00:14:52.079 --> 00:14:54.040
leaving a judicial process to help solve

00:14:54.040 --> 00:14:55.519
and deal with all these situations and

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.639
we're into that you know said so I heard

00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.160
this thing I tore my garment and my

00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:01.959
robed and plucked out some of my hair

00:15:01.959 --> 00:15:04.360
from my head and my beard I sat down

00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:06.560
astonished and everyone who was trembled

00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:08.199
at the words of the god of Israel

00:15:08.199 --> 00:15:09.639
assembled to me because of the

00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.360
transgression of those who have been

00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.600
carried away captive and I stand

00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.959
astonished and he goes on and all just

00:15:15.959 --> 00:15:18.199
repenting and he says he says he goes on

00:15:18.199 --> 00:15:20.839
and say I'm 're we

00:15:20.839 --> 00:15:24.600
are this is humiliating it's humiliating

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.360
for the whole people of God he said I'm

00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.639
ashamed God we're in a generation where

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:30.560
you're miraculously storing the

00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:32.399
restoring the people of God you're

00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:34.199
rebuilding the altar you I mean we are

00:15:34.199 --> 00:15:36.279
living in that generation we're living

00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.199
in the generation of the restoration of

00:15:38.199 --> 00:15:40.920
Israel Jerusalem Israel becoming the

00:15:40.920 --> 00:15:43.279
lead nation in the Middle East the the

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.040
the Messianic Remnant I mean we have

00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:47.040
over 100 congregations in Israel today

00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:48.880
maybe 200 of them if you count the house

00:15:48.880 --> 00:15:50.959
congregations then we have it's this is

00:15:50.959 --> 00:15:53.720
a time of incredible Victory and right

00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:55.560
in the middle of that we have sin in the

00:15:55.560 --> 00:15:58.480
camp it's it's it's humili I mean you

00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.480
don't that's you can he said what can I

00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.360
say I'm just going to rip out my beard

00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.319
rip out my hair I'd rip out my hair if I

00:16:04.319 --> 00:16:07.079
had any left but but we have um but it's

00:16:07.079 --> 00:16:10.560
it's just you see him reacting now after

00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:13.880
he does that then he goes into this long

00:16:13.880 --> 00:16:15.680
the basically all the chapter 10 the

00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:18.240
last chapter is him making a judicial

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.680
process so I'm not against judicial

00:16:20.680 --> 00:16:22.160
we're doing you have to do that that's

00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:24.000
the right thing to do he said now we're

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.199
going to set up we're going to interview

00:16:25.199 --> 00:16:26.680
each person we're going to come through

00:16:26.680 --> 00:16:28.240
this and we're going to we're going to

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:30.480
check it we got got to hear the evidence

00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.120
because remember um Nicodemus said he

00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.440
said how can you have righteousness if

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.240
you don't hear both sides of the story

00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.120
whenever you hear one side of the story

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:41.319
it doesn't matter what the allegations

00:16:41.319 --> 00:16:43.120
are on this side or this side if you've

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:44.519
only heard one side of the story you're

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.160
wrong you be before you start you've got

00:16:47.160 --> 00:16:48.639
the process you got to hear both sides

00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:49.720
you got to compare them you got to work

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:50.959
it out and he says no we're going to do

00:16:50.959 --> 00:16:53.720
all that the people said yeah that don't

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.040
we're praying first of all we tear our

00:16:56.040 --> 00:16:58.680
heart we tear our garments and then we

00:16:58.680 --> 00:17:00.600
go through this process we've got to go

00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:01.920
through this process to work and he said

00:17:01.920 --> 00:17:03.399
they said it's going to take some time

00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.400
for us to hear everybody work person by

00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.319
person name by name this in every

00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:08.880
situation make a decision make a

00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.640
judgment you have to do that and all I'm

00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:13.799
saying and we for who so dedicate

00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:15.880
ourselves to do that all I'm saying if

00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.959
we go right to that and skip over the

00:17:18.959 --> 00:17:21.520
part of tearing our heart and tearing

00:17:21.520 --> 00:17:23.360
our garments and say oh my God what's

00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:25.079
happened this is

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.160
humiliating and people are hurt people

00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.840
are hurt on all sides

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.760
it's interesting I noticed that that

00:17:38.760 --> 00:17:40.799
when he did this they said in vers in

00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.919
chapter 10 he said it was the 20th day

00:17:43.919 --> 00:17:45.520
of the 9th

00:17:45.520 --> 00:17:48.200
month and he did he said in three days

00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.039
from now it'll be the 20 so he did this

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:52.240
three days before the 20th day of the

00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.000
9th month which is in the Hebrew

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.400
calendar

00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.400
today amazing

00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.240
huh this 3 days before the 20th would be

00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.960
the Shabbat this is the three days it's

00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.280
the ninth month of it been so I was

00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:09.840
realiz I just felt like the the

00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:11.880
anointing of this the revelation of this

00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:13.720
chapter we're living it you know not

00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:14.960
just the date but you know what I'm

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.080
saying I'm just realizing we he there's

00:18:18.080 --> 00:18:19.960
both the part of the broken heart and

00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:21.200
it's tearing our hearts and then there's

00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.120
the part of the judicial process you

00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:27.159
have to do both you know but um but what

00:18:27.159 --> 00:18:30.360
happens is because everybody's

00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:32.760
scrambling because of the allegations

00:18:32.760 --> 00:18:34.120
and people are heard on all different

00:18:34.120 --> 00:18:36.640
sides people are trying to you know what

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:38.159
I'm saying kind of justify themselves we

00:18:38.159 --> 00:18:40.039
haven't even gotten to the point we all

00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:43.159
need to just stop and start crying and

00:18:43.159 --> 00:18:45.120
just humble ourselves and say got a

00:18:45.120 --> 00:18:47.400
little humility Holiness and and a

00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:49.400
brokenheartedness to be in the right

00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:51.760
process is wherever it goes people say

00:18:51.760 --> 00:18:52.799
to me what do you think about this

00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:54.559
situation this situation you know I'm

00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.000
talking about a whole bunch of famous

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.280
situations and and I say I I they don't

00:18:59.280 --> 00:19:01.480
have an opinion because I'm trying to

00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.679
serve the process of trying to be trying

00:19:04.679 --> 00:19:06.600
to be humble and objective and we we

00:19:06.600 --> 00:19:09.080
we're hurting for everybody and and

00:19:09.080 --> 00:19:11.400
people have been wounded you know I just

00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:13.880
want to say um one more thing about the

00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.200
story of of

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.880
um uh David and Beva I used to say that

00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:21.760
uh was the only passage in the Bible my

00:19:21.760 --> 00:19:25.400
wife and I don't agree about you know as

00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.559
a man I read I said can you believe that

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:29.600
girl taking over Clos in the front of

00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:33.039
the king's window how could she do that

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:34.000
my wife said are you what are you

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:35.480
talking about I sure God the king came

00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:37.240
up and you know abducted her what are

00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:40.880
you talking about so and I realized that

00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:42.559
um maybe there's a little truth on both

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.919
sides but Betty was more right than me

00:19:44.919 --> 00:19:46.880
because when you look at after it God's

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:49.200
judgment comes more on him than it was

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:51.480
on her you know so it's it's so he was

00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.640
more responsible you know she can't well

00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:55.159
she flirted well okay but you're the

00:19:55.159 --> 00:19:57.520
king you know you have to you have to

00:19:57.520 --> 00:19:59.039
deal with it so it's a it's a

00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.400
heartbreaking situation and in the

00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:02.679
history of

00:20:02.679 --> 00:20:07.200
Israel the the the sin repeated itself

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.919
over and over and over and over and over

00:20:09.919 --> 00:20:12.159
again and it caused the murder and

00:20:12.159 --> 00:20:14.960
adultery and it just it seemed to

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.520
destroy the kingdom of God every time

00:20:17.520 --> 00:20:19.280
the kingdom of God would come to a high

00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:21.520
point it would get destroyed by these

00:20:21.520 --> 00:20:25.400
things it's a heartbreaking chain of

00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:30.000
events for that to happen now um let's

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.679
skip over all that for a moment I want

00:20:31.679 --> 00:20:34.320
and let's let's come up to the um the

00:20:34.320 --> 00:20:37.640
story of the conception of our beloved

00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:40.679
Messiah who is the son of

00:20:40.679 --> 00:20:42.679
David the great great great great

00:20:42.679 --> 00:20:45.400
grandson of David look what it says here

00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:46.760
this was the angle I mean there's so

00:20:46.760 --> 00:20:48.120
many good things to speak about the

00:20:48.120 --> 00:20:51.679
conception of the Messiah but uh here is

00:20:51.679 --> 00:20:54.120
one it just jumped out at me was Luke

00:20:54.120 --> 00:20:55.480
Chapter

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.799
1:35 of course I read this all the time

00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:59.760
I just kind of went over it but notice

00:20:59.760 --> 00:21:02.360
the word holy is in this verse

00:21:02.360 --> 00:21:05.360
twice it says Luke Chapter 1:35 and it

00:21:05.360 --> 00:21:07.159
says and the angel answered this is

00:21:07.159 --> 00:21:09.080
Gabriel comes to me said it's said you

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:11.480
know Miriam is there and she says to him

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:13.799
well how how am I going to be with child

00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:17.039
I mean I'm I'm a virgin you know and and

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:18.960
you know when if if she's coming from an

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:20.760
ultra Orthodox Jewish background she

00:21:20.760 --> 00:21:22.720
probably was she may have never even

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:24.400
talked to a man before she definitely

00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:25.960
never touched a man she never been in

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:27.520
the same room with a man before I mean

00:21:27.520 --> 00:21:30.360
what what are you talking about you know

00:21:30.360 --> 00:21:32.120
and the angel answered and said to her

00:21:32.120 --> 00:21:35.720
the holy spirit will come upon you and

00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:37.120
the power of the most high will

00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:40.240
overshadow you and therefore the holy

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.600
thing which will be born in you shall be

00:21:42.600 --> 00:21:45.039
called The Son of God here's a different

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:47.559
angle that I want us to look at

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:51.640
this they she is the great great great

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.000
great granddaughter and Joseph is also

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.720
the great great great grandson basically

00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.080
of of David Bash

00:22:00.080 --> 00:22:01.799
and we're talking about what how many

00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:05.120
generations it is 14 by 14 Generations

00:22:05.120 --> 00:22:07.799
coming up till you get to them of

00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.840
generations of of sexual sin that has

00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:15.120
been doing huge damage to the kingdom of

00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:18.400
God and she

00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:23.520
wins she wins she breaks the curse and

00:22:23.520 --> 00:22:26.279
she says look I've kept myself holy and

00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:28.159
you can see it then you can try to get

00:22:28.159 --> 00:22:29.919
the purp purpose of she say look I'm the

00:22:29.919 --> 00:22:31.559
I'm the great great and if we understand

00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:33.960
it correctly on her mom's side she was

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.240
from the the tribe of the Cohen family

00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:38.919
and in the father's side from David and

00:22:38.919 --> 00:22:40.760
probably from Joseph was on David

00:22:40.760 --> 00:22:43.320
David's family so she says she said I'm

00:22:43.320 --> 00:22:46.120
like the I'm the great great great

00:22:46.120 --> 00:22:49.039
granddaughter of of the of the Kings and

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:51.600
the priests of our people and I have

00:22:51.600 --> 00:22:53.720
determined that I am going to keep

00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:58.520
myself holy in this perverted generation

00:22:58.520 --> 00:22:59.960
and she's looking back at that angel and

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:01.960
she's like saying I mean you know I'm

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:03.720
not taking any of this promise from you

00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:05.640
you know I'm I'm watching out for my

00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.640
Holiness I don't need your promise I'm

00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:10.039
watching out for my Holiness and you

00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:13.240
could almost feel him smiling so yeah

00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:14.200
you

00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:19.480
know yeah you won you won

00:23:20.760 --> 00:23:23.039
girl now I don't believe Mary was born

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:24.559
of an Immaculate Conception that's not

00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.760
what I'm talking about I'm talking about

00:23:26.760 --> 00:23:29.600
a plain old Jewish Israeli girl here

00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:31.640
that fought against all the forces of

00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:33.480
sexual immorality and stood before

00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:35.600
angels and the forces of Heaven and Hell

00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:38.200
and said I'm going to maintain my Purity

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.000
he says yes and the holy spirit's going

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:43.520
to come upon you and the child that will

00:23:43.520 --> 00:23:45.600
born will be born of you will be holy

00:23:45.600 --> 00:23:47.279
because you have maintained yourself

00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.159
holy and this this holy child is going

00:23:50.159 --> 00:23:53.480
to come and save the universe and it's

00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:58.760
partly because of you dear Miram

00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:01.080
this is the great great great great

00:24:01.080 --> 00:24:03.279
granddaughter of

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:08.039
Betha he said I want you

00:24:08.320 --> 00:24:11.000
want and and Joseph being the great

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:12.720
great great grandson of David also

00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:14.720
saying well what am I supposed to do

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:16.600

out well but what a victory the the

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:29.840
victory of the conception of the Messiah

00:24:29.840 --> 00:24:32.679
is the victory of a people walking in

00:24:32.679 --> 00:24:35.200
Holiness overcoming the carnality and

00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:37.720
the sinfulness of the world around him

00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.600
wow what an encouraging thing what a way

00:24:40.600 --> 00:24:42.960
to look at this story look at this in

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.520
the light of Holiness and victory folk

00:24:45.520 --> 00:24:48.440
this is good news good news but despite

00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.159
us messing this up all over the place

00:24:51.159 --> 00:24:53.880
Hallelujah Yeshua is a holy Child

00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:55.640
conceived in Holiness by the way you

00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.240
know there was as I can tell there's

00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:59.000
nothing miraculous about his

00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:00.679
he had a regular birth the miracle was

00:25:00.679 --> 00:25:03.080
the conception that was when the miracle

00:25:03.080 --> 00:25:04.720
that's why we believe this holiday was

00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:06.320
not his birth but actually the

00:25:06.320 --> 00:25:08.200
conception but that's when the light

00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:09.799
came into the world and she received it

00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:11.919
as a holy vessel the Holy Light came

00:25:11.919 --> 00:25:14.559
into her cuz she maintained herself

00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:16.840
maintained herself holy what a victory

00:25:16.840 --> 00:25:19.120
and she and you got she she went the

00:25:19.120 --> 00:25:23.240
rest of her life being mocked at by

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:25.720
everybody in her

00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.360
City yeah Virgin Mary

00:25:29.360 --> 00:25:31.279
you know they looked at her her

00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.760
reputation was a girl that had said got

00:25:33.760 --> 00:25:37.919
pregnant outside of marriage you know

00:25:37.919 --> 00:25:39.679
and she kept her Holiness in the light

00:25:39.679 --> 00:25:41.880
of all that an amazing thing all right

00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.039
one last thing I want to share and that

00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:46.240
has a relationship our relationship to

00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:51.320
the world um both John and James speak

00:25:51.320 --> 00:25:54.120
of not loving or not being a friend of

00:25:54.120 --> 00:25:56.480
the world it's in 1 John 2 and then

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:58.919
James 4 let's look at one of them let's

00:25:58.919 --> 00:26:02.559
look in the uh in James

00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.600
4

00:26:04.600 --> 00:26:06.880
um I think it may be a little more

00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:09.360
relevant for although it's the same part

00:26:09.360 --> 00:26:12.679
Point James

00:26:12.840 --> 00:26:14.760
4

00:26:14.760 --> 00:26:19.279
verse4 he says um you adulterers and

00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:21.600
adulteresses do you not know that

00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:25.520
friendship with the world is enmity with

00:26:25.520 --> 00:26:28.039
God whoever therefore would be a friend

00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:31.640
of the world is an enemy of

00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:34.480
godo that's a pretty tough verse the

00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:37.440
verse in first John 2 which says

00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:39.480
something similar is but it says a

00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:42.039
little different in verse in 1 John 2 it

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:44.039
says don't love the world we know a

00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:45.679
little everybody knows a love Greek to

00:26:45.679 --> 00:26:47.919
know that love is agape so he says don't

00:26:47.919 --> 00:26:51.440
Agape the world the world out there but

00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:54.200
in but in in James he says don't be a

00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:56.799
friend to it which is the fil so he's

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:59.399
saying in in and and I so I was thinking

00:26:59.399 --> 00:27:01.840
for most of us I'm I'm I'm using the

00:27:01.840 --> 00:27:03.840
James one because I'm saying most of us

00:27:03.840 --> 00:27:05.760
we don't love the world I don't love the

00:27:05.760 --> 00:27:07.200
things of the world even love the things

00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:09.279
world I don't I don't desire them love

00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:11.159
them but there's a part of us you know

00:27:11.159 --> 00:27:12.840
I'd like to be friends a little bit you

00:27:12.840 --> 00:27:14.760
know I mean I want to be have friends I

00:27:14.760 --> 00:27:16.440
want to be part of what's going on you

00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:17.960
kind of want to be friends with human

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:20.480
society you want to be you know I'd like

00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:22.399
to hang out with the with the synagogue

00:27:22.399 --> 00:27:24.039
in my my neighborhood but I've been

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:25.240
kicked out of more synagogues than

00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.360
you've ever ever been to you know I'd

00:27:27.360 --> 00:27:29.640
like to be friends with the the Israelis

00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:31.799
around us but what you know not we what

00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:33.880
are you going to do you know I'd like to

00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:35.480
watch a TV show every now and then you

00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:36.799
get about 2 minutes and then you got to

00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:38.480
turn off the TV you can't watch it it's

00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.600
all it's I don't love it but I'm

00:27:41.600 --> 00:27:43.039
confessing you know I'm saying I don't

00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:44.360
love it but I'd like to at least be

00:27:44.360 --> 00:27:46.120
friends a little bit he says no no no no

00:27:46.120 --> 00:27:48.000
no no you want to be friends with this

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:50.960
world you're an enemy of God oh no I'm

00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.640
sorry Lord you know and what so it comes

00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:55.519
to the place where we have to realize if

00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:59.919
all this is true that that we we can't

00:27:59.919 --> 00:28:02.519
be friends with this world we're you

00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.480
have to live as kind of a reject you

00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:06.399
know it's not going to work out you can

00:28:06.399 --> 00:28:08.320
be nice you can smile at everybody and

00:28:08.320 --> 00:28:09.600
you can have grace and favor that

00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:10.640
doesn't mean you want to have grace and

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:13.320
favor people will appreciate us because

00:28:13.320 --> 00:28:15.840
they see us walking with the Lord but it

00:28:15.840 --> 00:28:18.159
we can't be buddies with him you know

00:28:18.159 --> 00:28:21.679
and uh I'm I'm working on that one I

00:28:21.679 --> 00:28:23.360
really I have no love for the world I

00:28:23.360 --> 00:28:25.080
have no desire for the but I kind of

00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:27.039
would like to you know just be friends

00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:28.919
with them want to be friendly people you

00:28:28.919 --> 00:28:30.919
know but it doesn't that doesn't work

00:28:30.919 --> 00:28:33.919
out you know you can show them love you

00:28:33.919 --> 00:28:35.799
can show people you can be friends to

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:38.039
them but you can't be friendly with them

00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:40.120
you know and it's it's a different thing

00:28:40.120 --> 00:28:41.200
you know I'm not saying don't be

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:43.480
friendly don't be loving we we pour the

00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:45.919
love and friendship of Yeshua to the

00:28:45.919 --> 00:28:48.399
people around us but we can't go down to

00:28:48.399 --> 00:28:50.440
try to be accepted on in what they're

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:53.039
doing and we can't be with them on that

00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:54.440
level as Yeshua said you got to be in

00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:57.120
the world but not of the same spirit and

00:28:57.120 --> 00:28:58.600
and you know that I'm just

00:28:58.600 --> 00:29:00.600
confessing that that's a little it's a

00:29:00.600 --> 00:29:01.880
little because there's something about

00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:03.399
it we're people of love we want to have

00:29:03.399 --> 00:29:04.760
friend we want to be friends with the

00:29:04.760 --> 00:29:08.399
people around you it doesn't work so um

00:29:08.399 --> 00:29:10.000
looking this and and I'm I'm also

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:13.679
thinking of the the the the sexual sins

00:29:13.679 --> 00:29:16.519
that have been part of the the body not

00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:18.760
just in the leaders but in in

00:29:18.760 --> 00:29:21.120
everyone it you know the people that I

00:29:21.120 --> 00:29:23.120
know they they wasn't people that were

00:29:23.120 --> 00:29:25.039
looking for sin it wasn't that kind of

00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.799
things it was just that we live

00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:29.440
particular the western church it's kind

00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:31.320
of like we're Believers but we're also

00:29:31.320 --> 00:29:32.720
just friendly with the world you know

00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:34.200
it's kind of like we're cool we're hip

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:36.320
we're going over it doesn't work the

00:29:36.320 --> 00:29:38.120
people weren't looking to sin you know

00:29:38.120 --> 00:29:39.720
they were but we were trying to be

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:41.559
friendly with the world and when you're

00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:43.600
doing that you don't realize that you're

00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:46.720
slowly getting stuck in the in the honey

00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:48.519
and the mud and you're getting and you

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:50.399
don't realize it and you're getting and

00:29:50.399 --> 00:29:52.039
then all of a sudden you say what

00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:54.559
happened and I realize that we we have

00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:57.760
to have another step of just really

00:29:57.760 --> 00:29:59.840
coming coming to a deep understanding

00:29:59.840 --> 00:30:02.760
that we can't be friends with the values

00:30:02.760 --> 00:30:04.960
that are in the world and we in Israel

00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.840
for instance if we go toward the 90% of

00:30:07.840 --> 00:30:10.799
the Orthodox Jewish World

00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:13.640
they hate Jesus even though they don't

00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:15.600
know who he is but I'm saying and we

00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:17.760
can't be Messianic Jews in it and the

00:30:17.760 --> 00:30:20.000
world the rest of Israeli Society is

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:23.120
saturated in sexual sin and Rebellion

00:30:23.120 --> 00:30:26.559
because we we got to walk in a holy Lane

00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:28.679
in between that and and love everybody

00:30:28.679 --> 00:30:30.200
around us and be a witness you know what

00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:32.960
I'm saying but we have to wake up that

00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.760
that we we can't relax in that

00:30:35.760 --> 00:30:39.000
environment and um so that's it I just

00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:40.120
want to

00:30:40.120 --> 00:30:43.679
um pray and let me just go over those

00:30:43.679 --> 00:30:47.679
points again we have to have a deep

00:30:47.760 --> 00:30:49.720
brokenheartedness Holiness and the fear

00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:51.960
of God and humility when we look at the

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.399
sexual sins around us on whatever the

00:30:54.399 --> 00:30:57.120
sides are particularly realizing how

00:30:57.120 --> 00:30:59.360
damaging that could be when those of us

00:30:59.360 --> 00:31:01.080
and all of you were all being trained

00:31:01.080 --> 00:31:02.440
for leadership there's nobody that's a

00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:03.639
Believer that's not being trained for

00:31:03.639 --> 00:31:05.480
leadership you got to realize the more

00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:06.919
you're trained in leadership the more

00:31:06.919 --> 00:31:08.760
prices it's going to have the more bad

00:31:08.760 --> 00:31:10.639
effects it's going to have and it's come

00:31:10.639 --> 00:31:13.240
to ruin the kingdom of God all this time

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:14.799
but thank

00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.240
God Joseph and Mary and the people in

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:19.760
their generation overcome that she beat

00:31:19.760 --> 00:31:22.760
the World by saying pure and then when

00:31:22.760 --> 00:31:26.159
she gave Yeshua to the world then Yeshua

00:31:26.159 --> 00:31:28.360
is the light he is the he is the Holy

00:31:28.360 --> 00:31:30.200
One she's not the Holy One she just

00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:32.120
maintained her her sexual Purity but

00:31:32.120 --> 00:31:34.240
he's the Holy One and he's coming we

00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:36.200
have Holiness that comes from him and

00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:39.240
the and the the story of of Christmas of

00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:41.919
the conception of Yeshua is also part of

00:31:41.919 --> 00:31:45.480
the victory of the Holiness of God over

00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.120
the sinfulness of this world hallelujah

00:31:48.120 --> 00:31:51.320
hallelujah but we have to watch out not

00:31:51.320 --> 00:31:54.600
to just try to be friendly on the same

00:31:54.600 --> 00:31:57.000
level as the world around us and I was

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:59.039
just uh so I want to pray I just want to

00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:00.760
also pray for this generation the

00:32:00.760 --> 00:32:02.480
younger generation Believers or not

00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:04.600
Believers as I've been tell we've been

00:32:04.600 --> 00:32:05.919
talking about this with our family

00:32:05.919 --> 00:32:09.480
members with their that know the age of

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:11.519
our children and grandchildren already

00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:15.320
that that that they've been come become

00:32:15.320 --> 00:32:17.760
totally um I'm not trying to overstate

00:32:17.760 --> 00:32:20.039
something but dysfunctional in the

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:21.039
ability to have any kind of

00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:22.919
interpersonal relationship they they

00:32:22.919 --> 00:32:24.200
nobody can figure out how to get married

00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:26.080
because the young boys and girls today

00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:27.399
can't even talk to one another they

00:32:27.399 --> 00:32:29.720
don't even know what to do well let's

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.360
just get a dog you know I mean just it's

00:32:32.360 --> 00:32:34.799
just it's a it's a difficult world

00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:38.240
because the the generations of this

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:40.639
sinfulness and worldliness has caused a

00:32:40.639 --> 00:32:43.039
dysfunction not only in not only in

00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.320
gender confusion but just in men and

00:32:45.320 --> 00:32:46.639
women don't know how to talk to one

00:32:46.639 --> 00:32:47.679
they're afraid to get married they're

00:32:47.679 --> 00:32:48.840
afraid to have children they're afraid

00:32:48.840 --> 00:32:50.880
to it's nothing the the whole thing is

00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.760
falling apart but not with us we need to

00:32:53.760 --> 00:32:56.080
pray for the Holiness of God that can

00:32:56.080 --> 00:32:58.799
result in help healthy normal

00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:00.399
relationships what are you trying to be

00:33:00.399 --> 00:33:02.120
super holy go I'm trying to see if we

00:33:02.120 --> 00:33:04.200
can have some normal relationships

00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:06.159
Hallelujah and

00:33:06.159 --> 00:33:08.559
um okay these were some heavy things so

00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:10.760
let's just pray Lord God just pray with

00:33:10.760 --> 00:33:11.679
me

00:33:11.679 --> 00:33:15.880
and Heavenly Father we ask

00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.320
you for humility for Holiness and for

00:33:22.320 --> 00:33:24.600
brokenheartedness in the light of the

00:33:24.600 --> 00:33:28.519
worldliness around us Lord God

00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:30.120
and I realize Lord that none of us has

00:33:30.120 --> 00:33:32.000
walked through this pure there none of

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:34.600
us that haven't been affected one way or

00:33:34.600 --> 00:33:36.639
another no we we're not pointing fingers
