us every day to be disciplined to read

your word to speak it out to hear

ourselves there is a second half to his

mission and that he will not come as a
-
suffering servant but as a conquering k
-
King he will not come as a Meek lamb but
-
he will come as a roaring lion and when
-
he comes the second time it will not be
-
to die for our sins but it will be to
-
judge the world of their sins and to
-
establish his kingdom upon the Earth

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

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

there's potential here for both good or

territories in Turkey there is a massing
-
of Turkish troops uh getting ready to do
-
what they did in 2019 which is to uh
-
attack the Kurdish areas and uh you know
-
this is an opportunity because things
-
are are open so it's very and they the
-
leader of the Kurds is written to to
-
Donald Trump and said honor your word
-

-
know big things so let's pray into it we
-
know of we've heard from some of our
-
Christian friends about what the
-
Christians are going through and we want
-
to pray for them to be strong and bold
-
it's an opportunity to shine the light
-
during this time of year so I'm going to
-
pray and I just open up the microphone
-
let's continue to pray into it and ask
-
everybody out there who's going to watch
-
this to continue to pray Lord we thank
-
you Lord that every Christ
-
is an opportunity Lord for shifting for
-
good or for evil and you call your
-
people to stand in the Gap Lord to stand
-
in the Gap and to pray and to intercede
-
and to speak your word Lord we know what
-
you your word says in Isaiah 19 Lord
-
about this mesila about this highway all
-
the way from Egypt through Israel and
-
and to Assyria which is really Iraq but
-
it goes right through uh Northern Syria
-
and it's the same route that our Pat
-
that the Patriarchs of the Bible Abraham
-
Isaac and Jacob took when they went back
-
and forth between Israel and and uh
-
Mesopotamia there and and Iraq so God we
-
we pray for this strategic area of the
-
world Lord we ask you to intervene we

-
touched during this season by the spirit
-
of the Lord Lord that he would be a man
-
of Peace oh God that he would desire and
-
speak what he has said Lord that that
-
there would be a new Syria for all the
-
peoples with rights and institutions and
-
stability and that he would look not to
-
the not to the east not to Iran Lord and
-

-
Hope to the Hopeless that they would
-
stand fast in their confession of you

fire they would see you with them that

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