Humility, Holiness, and broken-Heartedness | Asher Intrater

  • 0:00 - 0:03
    all right hello beloved well
  • 0:03 - 0:06
    um I want to speak today a little bit
  • 0:06 - 0:10
    about uh titling my heart is humility
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    Holiness and
  • 0:12 - 0:15
    brokenheartedness in the light of sexual
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    sin among spiritual leaders little tough
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    subject but it's also I'm thinking about
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    this uh season we kind of end up that
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    way I'll give you it's going to end up
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    in a good way that in speaking of this
  • 0:29 - 0:32
    week when we think about the conception
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    of Yeshua in in Miriam that she was the
  • 0:35 - 0:39
    in some ways the ultimate victory of
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    sexual Pur over sexual sin you usually
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    don't think about that but that's where
  • 0:43 - 0:44
    we're going so hold on to that for a
  • 0:44 - 0:48
    minute so we'll start in um how could we
  • 0:48 - 0:49
    not Psalm
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    51 Psalm 51 it's a prayer that we really
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    ought to be saying every day I try to
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    sing it to myself every day
  • 0:58 - 1:03
    live but we'll pick it up but Psalm
  • 1:08 - 1:13
    51:2 a um a pure heart God created me
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    for those who read Hebrew it doesn't say
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    it says it's in the imperative forms
  • 1:17 - 1:19
    that's in
  • 1:19 - 1:24
    crate and um a right Spirit Renew on the
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    inside of me
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    well you hear the fear of God here do
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    not cast me away from
  • 1:36 - 1:40
    you and and do not take your holy spirit
  • 1:40 - 1:46
    away from me the the fear of God
  • 1:47 - 1:51
    um restore to me the joy of of your
  • 1:51 - 1:56
    salvation and in a generous Spirit uh uh
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    support me lift me up we see him
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    repenting at such a deep
  • 2:02 - 2:07
    level um David who had killed Goliath
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    the great hero and then Fallen before
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    Beva I mean incredible contrast there
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    and he's so he's so broken and he's
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    crying out that he recognizes the
  • 2:18 - 2:21
    Holiness of God that he could lose it he
  • 2:21 - 2:24
    could lose it all I mean it cast me away
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    from you take your holy spirit away from
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    me because it's it he's going he's he's
  • 2:29 - 2:33
    taking us to a depth of of uh of
  • 2:33 - 2:36
    repentance here that I I don't know that
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    we find it it's I almost feel that God
  • 2:38 - 2:39
    allowed him to go through that sin so he
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    could write this Psalm it's to show us
  • 2:42 - 2:45
    how to how to get over sin and and
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    repentance and guilt but then he goes on
  • 2:47 - 2:50
    toward the end sort of finishing it off
  • 2:50 - 2:54
    in verse 19 it says
  • 3:00 - 3:03
    it says and um sacrifices of God and
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    from here I got the title of this
  • 3:05 - 3:09
    message are a broken spirit and a broken
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    heart and cast down the Lord will not
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    despise it and so he's he's looking at
  • 3:16 - 3:20
    this sin that he did and he's he's just
  • 3:20 - 3:25
    crushed by it he's crushed by it and um
  • 3:25 - 3:26
    he's doing that obviously in the light
  • 3:26 - 3:29
    of he's it's not just kind of a normal
  • 3:29 - 3:32
    person sinning you know he's doing this
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    in a light of he recognizes God's
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    kingdom he recognizes the Holiness on
  • 3:37 - 3:40
    himself his calling the the kingdom of
  • 3:40 - 3:42
    God and it's not like he sinned I think
  • 3:42 - 3:45
    he's think I sinned okay God conf it's
  • 3:45 - 3:47
    like I've blown it for the kingdom of
  • 3:47 - 3:51
    God he's he's terrified and he's broken
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    and um and he realizes here in the
  • 3:54 - 3:57
    middle of that somehow that this is a
  • 3:57 - 3:59
    good thing you know we always you know
  • 3:59 - 4:01
    Western people we always like to have
  • 4:01 - 4:02
    something up it's got to have a happy
  • 4:02 - 4:03
    ending you know you got to talk about
  • 4:03 - 4:04
    Joy you don't want to talk about
  • 4:04 - 4:07
    Holiness or humility so sorry if you
  • 4:07 - 4:08
    don't like this message but it's from
  • 4:08 - 4:11
    the Bible and uh so but he's saying well
  • 4:11 - 4:14
    this is a good thing Lord I you've
  • 4:14 - 4:18
    you've taken me to a place that I'm so
  • 4:18 - 4:21
    aware of my own
  • 4:21 - 4:24
    inability to overcome my own flesh in my
  • 4:24 - 4:28
    own sin and he comes he just goes to a
  • 4:28 - 4:30
    zero place and somehow in the mid he
  • 4:30 - 4:33
    says wow this is I can feel as broken as
  • 4:33 - 4:35
    I am you're you're pleased with the
  • 4:35 - 4:37
    sacrifice it's almost like you've been
  • 4:37 - 4:40
    waiting hey was was some human being
  • 4:40 - 4:42
    realize how sinful you are come on
  • 4:42 - 4:44
    repent show me where you're at and and
  • 4:44 - 4:47
    somehow in the midst of his own fear of
  • 4:47 - 4:49
    God I could be Cast Away From God I
  • 4:49 - 4:51
    could be destroying the kingdom of God
  • 4:51 - 4:54
    he says well God's pleased with this
  • 4:54 - 4:56
    place of loneliness and Brokenness that
  • 4:56 - 4:58
    I've come to and I'm giving it to you
  • 4:58 - 5:02
    God in in the in uh as a as a way of
  • 5:02 - 5:06
    worship there's a purity a sweetness
  • 5:06 - 5:09
    coming out of his Brokenness notice of
  • 5:09 - 5:12
    course the first the first verse up on
  • 5:12 - 5:17
    it and it says this is a Psalm of David
  • 5:19 - 5:22
    says he says and this is when Nathan
  • 5:22 - 5:25
    came to him the prophet after he had
  • 5:25 - 5:28
    gone into bcha in other words this is
  • 5:28 - 5:29
    his repenting in the light of being
  • 5:29 - 5:32
    rebuked uked for having sinned with bcha
  • 5:32 - 5:35
    now B the bcha sin was a a pretty
  • 5:35 - 5:39
    difficult sin because it was it he he
  • 5:39 - 5:41
    committed adultery and then he lied
  • 5:41 - 5:44
    about it and then he committed murder to
  • 5:44 - 5:46
    try to get the evidence away from him I
  • 5:46 - 5:49
    mean pretty bad stuff you know this was
  • 5:49 - 5:52
    not like just missed the Holiness of God
  • 5:52 - 5:55
    he he he sinned on the the some of the
  • 5:55 - 5:57
    big ones you know and uh and he's
  • 5:57 - 6:00
    shocked and he's aware of the fact that
  • 6:00 - 6:01
    it's not just he did that but he did it
  • 6:01 - 6:05
    he was the king of Israel God made an
  • 6:05 - 6:07
    eternal Covenant with him he said you
  • 6:07 - 6:10
    are the Messiah the Messiah the Savior
  • 6:10 - 6:12
    the whole world salvation is going to
  • 6:12 - 6:14
    come through your seed and he just
  • 6:14 - 6:16
    realized that I may have just blown the
  • 6:16 - 6:18
    whole Promises of God by committing
  • 6:18 - 6:21
    adultery I've ruined the promises of the
  • 6:21 - 6:24
    coming of the Messiah I mean he's he's
  • 6:24 - 6:26
    stunned well I'm saying that in the
  • 6:26 - 6:27
    light
  • 6:27 - 6:30
    of this year has been a difficult year
  • 6:30 - 6:35
    for us there's been cases of allegations
  • 6:35 - 6:38
    of sexual sin against leaders across the
  • 6:38 - 6:42
    world not one not two not three not four
  • 6:42 - 6:43
    not five and
  • 6:43 - 6:46
    unfortunately a lot of the situations
  • 6:46 - 6:50
    seem to get to me somehow but but I uh
  • 6:50 - 6:52
    um and they're
  • 6:52 - 6:55
    complicated because what happens in a
  • 6:55 - 6:57
    situation like this you have you have an
  • 6:57 - 6:59
    event that happens usually happens when
  • 6:59 - 7:01
    nobody's there there so who's whose
  • 7:01 - 7:04
    evidence you you have the the emotional
  • 7:04 - 7:06
    response is the exactly opposite usually
  • 7:06 - 7:08
    between the men and the women and then
  • 7:08 - 7:09
    if you are talking about spiritual
  • 7:09 - 7:11
    leaders you have an imbalance of
  • 7:11 - 7:12
    emotional
  • 7:12 - 7:14
    psychological positioning with it that
  • 7:14 - 7:17
    becomes abusive whether the person meant
  • 7:17 - 7:19
    for it to be abusive and then you have
  • 7:19 - 7:21
    allegations and then what can get proved
  • 7:21 - 7:23
    and then what cannot get proved and then
  • 7:23 - 7:27
    it's whoa it is so complicated I mean
  • 7:27 - 7:30
    I've had to spend hundreds of hours
  • 7:30 - 7:33
    this year dealing with these
  • 7:33 - 7:35
    situations and none of them are very
  • 7:35 - 7:38
    nice and everybody's hurt everybody's
  • 7:38 - 7:40
    hurt on all the sides it's it's it's
  • 7:40 - 7:43
    kind of like I mean this in a spiritual
  • 7:43 - 7:45
    way it's disgusting I mean it's like we
  • 7:45 - 7:48
    all just want to vomit it up in in in I
  • 7:48 - 7:50
    I mean in a right way God's God's
  • 7:50 - 7:52
    dealing with this and you
  • 7:52 - 7:55
    realize God is not embarrassed about
  • 7:55 - 7:57
    these kind of things we're embarrassed
  • 7:57 - 8:00
    but God is like hey you want to sin and
  • 8:00 - 8:03
    remember what happened to David that he
  • 8:03 - 8:05
    God said will you sin in in
  • 8:05 - 8:08
    private I'm going to display it in
  • 8:08 - 8:11
    public so his son Rebels against him and
  • 8:11 - 8:13
    he commits adultery for all of David's
  • 8:13 - 8:15
    wives and concubines on the roof in
  • 8:15 - 8:17
    front of everybody puts it on the front
  • 8:17 - 8:19
    page of the newspaper I mean it's just
  • 8:19 - 8:23
    like it's it's horrible and God somehow
  • 8:23 - 8:24
    in God's
  • 8:24 - 8:27
    holiness he he desires to have these
  • 8:27 - 8:30
    things displayed it's totally humil for
  • 8:30 - 8:33
    us human beings to be involved in this
  • 8:33 - 8:36
    but it's but it's God is so interested
  • 8:36 - 8:39
    in in displaying the wrongness of sin
  • 8:39 - 8:41
    that he wants to get this things all
  • 8:41 - 8:43
    these things out and it's very hard to
  • 8:43 - 8:47
    work with you know now we um with with
  • 8:47 - 8:49
    ton our ministry we've put a lot of
  • 8:49 - 8:51
    emphasis on you know my book Covenant
  • 8:51 - 8:53
    relationships Dan's book due process
  • 8:53 - 8:55
    where really into wanting to handle
  • 8:55 - 8:59
    these all these situations correctly and
  • 8:59 - 9:00
    that's what takes the hundreds of hours
  • 9:00 - 9:02
    cuz you got to you got to listen to
  • 9:02 - 9:04
    everybody's side and you got to try to
  • 9:04 - 9:05
    weigh it objectively it's almost
  • 9:05 - 9:08
    impossible cuz the the situation is so
  • 9:08 - 9:11
    emotionally Laden they try to get to but
  • 9:11 - 9:15
    I want to say with all of our good
  • 9:15 - 9:18
    intentions of due process and covenantal
  • 9:18 - 9:20
    relationships and all these right forms
  • 9:20 - 9:22
    of dealing something I'm saying this as
  • 9:22 - 9:23
    the president of tun
  • 9:23 - 9:27
    Global no process is going to
  • 9:27 - 9:29
    work it doesn't matter how good your
  • 9:29 - 9:31
    processes are
  • 9:31 - 9:33
    you have to deal with sin you know and
  • 9:33 - 9:35
    there's something about this and I've
  • 9:35 - 9:37
    heard part of like I said so many
  • 9:37 - 9:39
    conversations on this person's right
  • 9:39 - 9:40
    this person's wrong and this you know
  • 9:40 - 9:42
    what we all just have to be
  • 9:42 - 9:44
    brokenhearted about this situation we
  • 9:44 - 9:46
    just have to cry we have to it it's we
  • 9:46 - 9:48
    have to Humble ourselves we have to
  • 9:48 - 9:50
    realize that we're we're not holy and
  • 9:50 - 9:52
    we're standing before a holy
  • 9:52 - 9:55
    God and and okay we have to listen to
  • 9:55 - 9:57
    this person listen to this person who's
  • 9:57 - 9:58
    right how much punishment how much do
  • 9:58 - 10:00
    what how do we comfort those how do we
  • 10:00 - 10:02
    heal everybody's everybody's hurt
  • 10:02 - 10:04
    everybody's broken but I'm saying in
  • 10:04 - 10:06
    addition to all our right processing
  • 10:06 - 10:08
    which I believe in I believe in Covenant
  • 10:08 - 10:11
    relationship and and judicial process
  • 10:11 - 10:13
    and the right hand but in all of that
  • 10:13 - 10:15
    that's not going to work if you don't
  • 10:15 - 10:17
    have a brokenheartedness you hear what
  • 10:17 - 10:18
    I'm saying you can get through the right
  • 10:18 - 10:21
    process and you'll never get to the end
  • 10:21 - 10:23
    and on a different issue everybody's
  • 10:23 - 10:25
    talking here about in Israel we want to
  • 10:25 - 10:27
    have a
  • 10:28 - 10:31
    um uh a a governmental uh investigation
  • 10:31 - 10:33
    of what went wrong a year and a half ago
  • 10:33 - 10:34
    at the beginning of the war the problem
  • 10:34 - 10:36
    is that everybody in the country is
  • 10:36 - 10:38
    already prejudged as to what side
  • 10:38 - 10:40
    they're on you can't you could never
  • 10:40 - 10:43
    possibly get to an objective Council
  • 10:43 - 10:44
    here who's going to do the investigation
  • 10:44 - 10:46
    everybody's screaming and yelling at
  • 10:46 - 10:48
    everybody and I'm saying we have to get
  • 10:48 - 10:49
    to the point whether you're talking
  • 10:49 - 10:52
    about the war here in Israel or judicial
  • 10:52 - 10:55
    process of sin in the church is just you
  • 10:55 - 10:56
    have to get to the point you know what
  • 10:56 - 11:00
    we're all wrong we're all wrong stop in
  • 11:00 - 11:02
    in these situations there's no there's
  • 11:02 - 11:03
    no reason to come well I'm more
  • 11:03 - 11:06
    righteous than you I would okay and it
  • 11:06 - 11:09
    it's heartbreaking and so in the ca this
  • 11:09 - 11:10
    is not just a regul you're talking about
  • 11:10 - 11:14
    a sin with David who is the head of the
  • 11:14 - 11:16
    Community of Faith in his
  • 11:16 - 11:20
    generation it's
  • 11:21 - 11:23
    terrifying it's
  • 11:23 - 11:25
    terrifying I'm look at all these things
  • 11:25 - 11:28

  • 12:23 - 12:25
    can justify anything you know you just
  • 12:25 - 12:28
    have to realize that we're living in a
  • 12:28 - 12:31
    sinful world and we have to get away
  • 12:31 - 12:33
    from it let's look at another example
  • 12:33 - 12:36
    look with me in uh Ezra chapter 9
  • 12:36 - 12:38
    remember Ezra and Nehemiah are kind of
  • 12:38 - 12:39
    the last two historical books of the
  • 12:39 - 12:43
    Bible Nehemiah is actually after Ezra
  • 12:43 - 12:45
    the Book of Esther actually comes first
  • 12:45 - 12:46
    the the situation with Esther happened
  • 12:46 - 12:48
    before Ezra and that happened before
  • 12:48 - 12:51
    Nehemiah but this is one of the last
  • 12:51 - 12:53
    last books of the Bible it's an
  • 12:53 - 12:56
    incredible situation God has returned
  • 12:56 - 12:59
    the people of Israel from Exile they're
  • 12:59 - 13:00
    coming back to Jerusalem they're
  • 13:00 - 13:02
    rebuilding the altar they're giving
  • 13:02 - 13:04
    worship they're I mean it's an
  • 13:04 - 13:08
    incredible Victorious moment of the
  • 13:08 - 13:12
    restoration of God it's just wonderful I
  • 13:12 - 13:14
    mean you can almost learn everything
  • 13:14 - 13:16
    about Apostolic Ministry from the book
  • 13:16 - 13:18
    of Ezra and Nehemiah it's it's so
  • 13:18 - 13:21
    wonderful and the last two chapters did
  • 13:21 - 13:25
    you notice that the last two chapters of
  • 13:25 - 13:29
    the book of isra are all dedicated to
  • 13:29 - 13:30
    repent
  • 13:30 - 13:33
    of sexual sin on behalf of the
  • 13:33 - 13:35
    leadership well I missed that what was
  • 13:35 - 13:37
    that in the Bible let's look at Ezra
  • 13:37 - 13:40
    chapter 9 what happens now in their day
  • 13:40 - 13:43
    the the sin was they the they they
  • 13:43 - 13:45
    married the the Canaanite women this was
  • 13:45 - 13:48
    before the time of Yeshua had they had
  • 13:48 - 13:50
    they had seed with the Canaanite woman
  • 13:50 - 13:52
    they would have ruined the promise of
  • 13:52 - 13:54
    the coming of the Holy seed of Yeshua
  • 13:54 - 13:57
    and would have basically damned all of
  • 13:57 - 13:59
    the human race for eternity with they
  • 13:59 - 14:01
    would have ruined the ability for Yeshua
  • 14:01 - 14:03
    to come God would have had to wipe us
  • 14:03 - 14:05
    all out again like he didn't know but
  • 14:05 - 14:08
    but in this case but so I'm not going to
  • 14:08 - 14:09
    deal with the fact that they married
  • 14:09 - 14:11
    that that situation doesn't apply really
  • 14:11 - 14:14
    to anybody here today but it still was a
  • 14:14 - 14:17
    a type of sexual sin so we're looking at
  • 14:17 - 14:20
    and um so let's look and we're in Ezra
  • 14:20 - 14:22
    9
  • 14:22 - 14:26
    UM chap chapter 9 verse2 and said second
  • 14:26 - 14:27
    half of the verse so that the holy seed
  • 14:27 - 14:29
    is mixed with the people of the lands
  • 14:29 - 14:32
    and then he says indeed the hand of the
  • 14:32 - 14:35
    leaders and the rulers have been
  • 14:35 - 14:38
    uppermost in this
  • 14:38 - 14:40
    sin
  • 14:40 - 14:42
    yo wasn't just the sin of the people
  • 14:42 - 14:44
    every was but he said you know he said
  • 14:44 - 14:45
    the leaders have been even
  • 14:45 - 14:50
    worse Y and then and then how does
  • 14:50 - 14:52
    react or I'm saying somebody who's
  • 14:52 - 14:54
    leaving a judicial process to help solve
  • 14:54 - 14:56
    and deal with all these situations and
  • 14:56 - 14:59
    we're into that you know said so I heard
  • 14:59 - 15:00
    this thing I tore my garment and my
  • 15:00 - 15:02
    robed and plucked out some of my hair
  • 15:02 - 15:04
    from my head and my beard I sat down
  • 15:04 - 15:07
    astonished and everyone who was trembled
  • 15:07 - 15:08
    at the words of the god of Israel
  • 15:08 - 15:10
    assembled to me because of the
  • 15:10 - 15:11
    transgression of those who have been
  • 15:11 - 15:14
    carried away captive and I stand
  • 15:14 - 15:16
    astonished and he goes on and all just
  • 15:16 - 15:18
    repenting and he says he says he goes on
  • 15:18 - 15:21
    and say I'm 're we
  • 15:21 - 15:25
    are this is humiliating it's humiliating
  • 15:25 - 15:26
    for the whole people of God he said I'm
  • 15:26 - 15:29
    ashamed God we're in a generation where
  • 15:29 - 15:31
    you're miraculously storing the
  • 15:31 - 15:32
    restoring the people of God you're
  • 15:32 - 15:34
    rebuilding the altar you I mean we are
  • 15:34 - 15:36
    living in that generation we're living
  • 15:36 - 15:38
    in the generation of the restoration of
  • 15:38 - 15:41
    Israel Jerusalem Israel becoming the
  • 15:41 - 15:43
    lead nation in the Middle East the the
  • 15:43 - 15:45
    the Messianic Remnant I mean we have
  • 15:45 - 15:47
    over 100 congregations in Israel today
  • 15:47 - 15:49
    maybe 200 of them if you count the house
  • 15:49 - 15:51
    congregations then we have it's this is
  • 15:51 - 15:54
    a time of incredible Victory and right
  • 15:54 - 15:56
    in the middle of that we have sin in the
  • 15:56 - 15:58
    camp it's it's it's humili I mean you
  • 15:58 - 16:00
    don't that's you can he said what can I
  • 16:00 - 16:02
    say I'm just going to rip out my beard
  • 16:02 - 16:04
    rip out my hair I'd rip out my hair if I
  • 16:04 - 16:07
    had any left but but we have um but it's
  • 16:07 - 16:11
    it's just you see him reacting now after
  • 16:11 - 16:14
    he does that then he goes into this long
  • 16:14 - 16:16
    the basically all the chapter 10 the
  • 16:16 - 16:18
    last chapter is him making a judicial
  • 16:18 - 16:21
    process so I'm not against judicial
  • 16:21 - 16:22
    we're doing you have to do that that's
  • 16:22 - 16:24
    the right thing to do he said now we're
  • 16:24 - 16:25
    going to set up we're going to interview
  • 16:25 - 16:27
    each person we're going to come through
  • 16:27 - 16:28
    this and we're going to we're going to
  • 16:28 - 16:30
    check it we got got to hear the evidence
  • 16:30 - 16:34
    because remember um Nicodemus said he
  • 16:34 - 16:35
    said how can you have righteousness if
  • 16:35 - 16:38
    you don't hear both sides of the story
  • 16:38 - 16:40
    whenever you hear one side of the story
  • 16:40 - 16:41
    it doesn't matter what the allegations
  • 16:41 - 16:43
    are on this side or this side if you've
  • 16:43 - 16:45
    only heard one side of the story you're
  • 16:45 - 16:47
    wrong you be before you start you've got
  • 16:47 - 16:49
    the process you got to hear both sides
  • 16:49 - 16:50
    you got to compare them you got to work
  • 16:50 - 16:51
    it out and he says no we're going to do
  • 16:51 - 16:54
    all that the people said yeah that don't
  • 16:54 - 16:56
    we're praying first of all we tear our
  • 16:56 - 16:59
    heart we tear our garments and then we
  • 16:59 - 17:01
    go through this process we've got to go
  • 17:01 - 17:02
    through this process to work and he said
  • 17:02 - 17:03
    they said it's going to take some time
  • 17:03 - 17:05
    for us to hear everybody work person by
  • 17:05 - 17:07
    person name by name this in every
  • 17:07 - 17:09
    situation make a decision make a
  • 17:09 - 17:12
    judgment you have to do that and all I'm
  • 17:12 - 17:14
    saying and we for who so dedicate
  • 17:14 - 17:16
    ourselves to do that all I'm saying if
  • 17:16 - 17:19
    we go right to that and skip over the
  • 17:19 - 17:22
    part of tearing our heart and tearing
  • 17:22 - 17:23
    our garments and say oh my God what's
  • 17:23 - 17:25
    happened this is
  • 17:25 - 17:27
    humiliating and people are hurt people
  • 17:27 - 17:31
    are hurt on all sides
  • 17:37 - 17:39
    it's interesting I noticed that that
  • 17:39 - 17:41
    when he did this they said in vers in
  • 17:41 - 17:44
    chapter 10 he said it was the 20th day
  • 17:44 - 17:46
    of the 9th
  • 17:46 - 17:48
    month and he did he said in three days
  • 17:48 - 17:50
    from now it'll be the 20 so he did this
  • 17:50 - 17:52
    three days before the 20th day of the
  • 17:52 - 17:55
    9th month which is in the Hebrew
  • 17:55 - 17:57
    calendar
  • 17:57 - 17:59
    today amazing
  • 17:59 - 18:02
    huh this 3 days before the 20th would be
  • 18:02 - 18:05
    the Shabbat this is the three days it's
  • 18:05 - 18:07
    the ninth month of it been so I was
  • 18:07 - 18:10
    realiz I just felt like the the
  • 18:10 - 18:12
    anointing of this the revelation of this
  • 18:12 - 18:14
    chapter we're living it you know not
  • 18:14 - 18:15
    just the date but you know what I'm
  • 18:15 - 18:18
    saying I'm just realizing we he there's
  • 18:18 - 18:20
    both the part of the broken heart and
  • 18:20 - 18:21
    it's tearing our hearts and then there's
  • 18:21 - 18:23
    the part of the judicial process you
  • 18:23 - 18:27
    have to do both you know but um but what
  • 18:27 - 18:30
    happens is because everybody's
  • 18:30 - 18:33
    scrambling because of the allegations
  • 18:33 - 18:34
    and people are heard on all different
  • 18:34 - 18:37
    sides people are trying to you know what
  • 18:37 - 18:38
    I'm saying kind of justify themselves we
  • 18:38 - 18:40
    haven't even gotten to the point we all
  • 18:40 - 18:43
    need to just stop and start crying and
  • 18:43 - 18:45
    just humble ourselves and say got a
  • 18:45 - 18:47
    little humility Holiness and and a
  • 18:47 - 18:49
    brokenheartedness to be in the right
  • 18:49 - 18:52
    process is wherever it goes people say
  • 18:52 - 18:53
    to me what do you think about this
  • 18:53 - 18:55
    situation this situation you know I'm
  • 18:55 - 18:56
    talking about a whole bunch of famous
  • 18:56 - 18:59
    situations and and I say I I they don't
  • 18:59 - 19:01
    have an opinion because I'm trying to
  • 19:01 - 19:05
    serve the process of trying to be trying
  • 19:05 - 19:07
    to be humble and objective and we we
  • 19:07 - 19:09
    we're hurting for everybody and and
  • 19:09 - 19:11
    people have been wounded you know I just
  • 19:11 - 19:14
    want to say um one more thing about the
  • 19:14 - 19:16
    story of of
  • 19:16 - 19:20
    um uh David and Beva I used to say that
  • 19:20 - 19:22
    uh was the only passage in the Bible my
  • 19:22 - 19:25
    wife and I don't agree about you know as
  • 19:25 - 19:28
    a man I read I said can you believe that
  • 19:28 - 19:30
    girl taking over Clos in the front of
  • 19:30 - 19:33
    the king's window how could she do that
  • 19:33 - 19:34
    my wife said are you what are you
  • 19:34 - 19:35
    talking about I sure God the king came
  • 19:35 - 19:37
    up and you know abducted her what are
  • 19:37 - 19:41
    you talking about so and I realized that
  • 19:41 - 19:43
    um maybe there's a little truth on both
  • 19:43 - 19:45
    sides but Betty was more right than me
  • 19:45 - 19:47
    because when you look at after it God's
  • 19:47 - 19:49
    judgment comes more on him than it was
  • 19:49 - 19:51
    on her you know so it's it's so he was
  • 19:51 - 19:54
    more responsible you know she can't well
  • 19:54 - 19:55
    she flirted well okay but you're the
  • 19:55 - 19:58
    king you know you have to you have to
  • 19:58 - 19:59
    deal with it so it's a it's a
  • 19:59 - 20:01
    heartbreaking situation and in the
  • 20:01 - 20:03
    history of
  • 20:03 - 20:07
    Israel the the the sin repeated itself
  • 20:07 - 20:10
    over and over and over and over and over
  • 20:10 - 20:12
    again and it caused the murder and
  • 20:12 - 20:15
    adultery and it just it seemed to
  • 20:15 - 20:18
    destroy the kingdom of God every time
  • 20:18 - 20:19
    the kingdom of God would come to a high
  • 20:19 - 20:22
    point it would get destroyed by these
  • 20:22 - 20:25
    things it's a heartbreaking chain of
  • 20:25 - 20:30
    events for that to happen now um let's
  • 20:30 - 20:32
    skip over all that for a moment I want
  • 20:32 - 20:34
    and let's let's come up to the um the
  • 20:34 - 20:38
    story of the conception of our beloved
  • 20:38 - 20:41
    Messiah who is the son of
  • 20:41 - 20:43
    David the great great great great
  • 20:43 - 20:45
    grandson of David look what it says here
  • 20:45 - 20:47
    this was the angle I mean there's so
  • 20:47 - 20:48
    many good things to speak about the
  • 20:48 - 20:52
    conception of the Messiah but uh here is
  • 20:52 - 20:54
    one it just jumped out at me was Luke
  • 20:54 - 20:55
    Chapter
  • 20:55 - 20:58
    1:35 of course I read this all the time
  • 20:58 - 21:00
    I just kind of went over it but notice
  • 21:00 - 21:02
    the word holy is in this verse
  • 21:02 - 21:05
    twice it says Luke Chapter 1:35 and it
  • 21:05 - 21:07
    says and the angel answered this is
  • 21:07 - 21:09
    Gabriel comes to me said it's said you
  • 21:09 - 21:11
    know Miriam is there and she says to him
  • 21:11 - 21:14
    well how how am I going to be with child
  • 21:14 - 21:17
    I mean I'm I'm a virgin you know and and
  • 21:17 - 21:19
    you know when if if she's coming from an
  • 21:19 - 21:21
    ultra Orthodox Jewish background she
  • 21:21 - 21:23
    probably was she may have never even
  • 21:23 - 21:24
    talked to a man before she definitely
  • 21:24 - 21:26
    never touched a man she never been in
  • 21:26 - 21:28
    the same room with a man before I mean
  • 21:28 - 21:30
    what what are you talking about you know
  • 21:30 - 21:32
    and the angel answered and said to her
  • 21:32 - 21:36
    the holy spirit will come upon you and
  • 21:36 - 21:37
    the power of the most high will
  • 21:37 - 21:40
    overshadow you and therefore the holy
  • 21:40 - 21:43
    thing which will be born in you shall be
  • 21:43 - 21:45
    called The Son of God here's a different
  • 21:45 - 21:48
    angle that I want us to look at
  • 21:48 - 21:52
    this they she is the great great great
  • 21:52 - 21:54
    great granddaughter and Joseph is also
  • 21:54 - 21:57
    the great great great grandson basically
  • 21:57 - 22:00
    of of David Bash
  • 22:00 - 22:02
    and we're talking about what how many
  • 22:02 - 22:05
    generations it is 14 by 14 Generations
  • 22:05 - 22:08
    coming up till you get to them of
  • 22:08 - 22:12
    generations of of sexual sin that has
  • 22:12 - 22:15
    been doing huge damage to the kingdom of
  • 22:15 - 22:18
    God and she
  • 22:18 - 22:24
    wins she wins she breaks the curse and
  • 22:24 - 22:26
    she says look I've kept myself holy and
  • 22:26 - 22:28
    you can see it then you can try to get
  • 22:28 - 22:30
    the purp purpose of she say look I'm the
  • 22:30 - 22:32
    I'm the great great and if we understand
  • 22:32 - 22:34
    it correctly on her mom's side she was
  • 22:34 - 22:36
    from the the tribe of the Cohen family
  • 22:36 - 22:39
    and in the father's side from David and
  • 22:39 - 22:41
    probably from Joseph was on David
  • 22:41 - 22:43
    David's family so she says she said I'm
  • 22:43 - 22:46
    like the I'm the great great great
  • 22:46 - 22:49
    granddaughter of of the of the Kings and
  • 22:49 - 22:52
    the priests of our people and I have
  • 22:52 - 22:54
    determined that I am going to keep
  • 22:54 - 22:59
    myself holy in this perverted generation
  • 22:59 - 23:00
    and she's looking back at that angel and
  • 23:00 - 23:02
    she's like saying I mean you know I'm
  • 23:02 - 23:04
    not taking any of this promise from you
  • 23:04 - 23:06

  • 23:06 - 23:09
    Holiness I don't need your promise I'm
  • 23:09 - 23:10
    watching out for my Holiness and you
  • 23:10 - 23:13

    you
  • 23:14 - 23:19
    know yeah you won you won
  • 23:21 - 23:23
    girl now I don't believe Mary was born
  • 23:23 - 23:25
    of an Immaculate Conception that's not
  • 23:25 - 23:27
    what I'm talking about I'm talking about
  • 23:27 - 23:30
    a plain old Jewish Israeli girl here
  • 23:30 - 23:32
    that fought against all the forces of
  • 23:32 - 23:33
    sexual immorality and stood before
  • 23:33 - 23:36
    angels and the forces of Heaven and Hell
  • 23:36 - 23:38
    and said I'm going to maintain my Purity
  • 23:38 - 23:41
    he says yes and the holy spirit's going
  • 23:41 - 23:44
    to come upon you and the child that will
  • 23:44 - 23:46
    born will be born of you will be holy
  • 23:46 - 23:47
    because you have maintained yourself
  • 23:47 - 23:50
    holy and this this holy child is going
  • 23:50 - 23:53
    to come and save the universe and it's
  • 23:53 - 23:59
    partly because of you dear Miram
  • 24:00 - 24:01
    this is the great great great great
  • 24:01 - 24:03
    granddaughter of
  • 24:03 - 24:08
    Betha he said I want you
  • 24:08 - 24:11

  • 24:11 - 24:13
    great great grandson of David also
  • 24:13 - 24:15
    saying well what am I supposed to do
  • 24:15 - 24:17
    here and he says well just you know get
  • 24:17 - 24:19
    married get betr while you're betr we'll
  • 24:19 - 24:20
    have the child born and then you can get
  • 24:20 - 24:22
    married and then it'll be it'll all work
  • 24:22 - 24:27
    out well but what a victory the the
  • 24:27 - 24:30
    victory of the conception of the Messiah
  • 24:30 - 24:33
    is the victory of a people walking in
  • 24:33 - 24:35
    Holiness overcoming the carnality and
  • 24:35 - 24:38
    the sinfulness of the world around him
  • 24:38 - 24:41
    wow what an encouraging thing what a way
  • 24:41 - 24:43
    to look at this story look at this in
  • 24:43 - 24:46
    the light of Holiness and victory folk
  • 24:46 - 24:48
    this is good news good news but despite
  • 24:48 - 24:51
    us messing this up all over the place
  • 24:51 - 24:54
    Hallelujah Yeshua is a holy Child
  • 24:54 - 24:56
    conceived in Holiness by the way you
  • 24:56 - 24:57
    know there was as I can tell there's
  • 24:57 - 24:59
    nothing miraculous about his
  • 24:59 - 25:01
    he had a regular birth the miracle was
  • 25:01 - 25:03
    the conception that was when the miracle
  • 25:03 - 25:05
    that's why we believe this holiday was
  • 25:05 - 25:06
    not his birth but actually the
  • 25:06 - 25:08
    conception but that's when the light
  • 25:08 - 25:10
    came into the world and she received it
  • 25:10 - 25:12
    as a holy vessel the Holy Light came
  • 25:12 - 25:15
    into her cuz she maintained herself
  • 25:15 - 25:17
    maintained herself holy what a victory
  • 25:17 - 25:19
    and she and you got she she went the
  • 25:19 - 25:23
    rest of her life being mocked at by
  • 25:23 - 25:26
    everybody in her
  • 25:26 - 25:29
    City yeah Virgin Mary
  • 25:29 - 25:31
    you know they looked at her her
  • 25:31 - 25:34
    reputation was a girl that had said got
  • 25:34 - 25:38
    pregnant outside of marriage you know
  • 25:38 - 25:40
    and she kept her Holiness in the light
  • 25:40 - 25:42
    of all that an amazing thing all right
  • 25:42 - 25:44
    one last thing I want to share and that
  • 25:44 - 25:46
    has a relationship our relationship to
  • 25:46 - 25:51
    the world um both John and James speak
  • 25:51 - 25:54
    of not loving or not being a friend of
  • 25:54 - 25:56
    the world it's in 1 John 2 and then
  • 25:56 - 25:59
    James 4 let's look at one of them let's
  • 25:59 - 26:03
    look in the uh in James
  • 26:03 - 26:05
    4
  • 26:05 - 26:07
    um I think it may be a little more
  • 26:07 - 26:09
    relevant for although it's the same part
  • 26:09 - 26:13
    Point James
  • 26:13 - 26:15
    4
  • 26:15 - 26:19
    verse4 he says um you adulterers and
  • 26:19 - 26:22
    adulteresses do you not know that
  • 26:22 - 26:26
    friendship with the world is enmity with
  • 26:26 - 26:28
    God whoever therefore would be a friend
  • 26:28 - 26:32
    of the world is an enemy of
  • 26:32 - 26:34
    godo that's a pretty tough verse the
  • 26:34 - 26:37
    verse in first John 2 which says
  • 26:37 - 26:39
    something similar is but it says a
  • 26:39 - 26:42
    little different in verse in 1 John 2 it
  • 26:42 - 26:44
    says don't love the world we know a
  • 26:44 - 26:46
    little everybody knows a love Greek to
  • 26:46 - 26:48
    know that love is agape so he says don't
  • 26:48 - 26:51
    Agape the world the world out there but
  • 26:51 - 26:54
    in but in in James he says don't be a
  • 26:54 - 26:57
    friend to it which is the fil so he's
  • 26:57 - 26:59
    saying in in and and I so I was thinking
  • 26:59 - 27:02
    for most of us I'm I'm I'm using the
  • 27:02 - 27:04
    James one because I'm saying most of us
  • 27:04 - 27:06
    we don't love the world I don't love the
  • 27:06 - 27:07
    things of the world even love the things
  • 27:07 - 27:09
    world I don't I don't desire them love
  • 27:09 - 27:11
    them but there's a part of us you know
  • 27:11 - 27:13
    I'd like to be friends a little bit you
  • 27:13 - 27:15
    know I mean I want to be have friends I
  • 27:15 - 27:16
    want to be part of what's going on you
  • 27:16 - 27:18
    kind of want to be friends with human
  • 27:18 - 27:20
    society you want to be you know I'd like
  • 27:20 - 27:22
    to hang out with the with the synagogue
  • 27:22 - 27:24
    in my my neighborhood but I've been
  • 27:24 - 27:25
    kicked out of more synagogues than
  • 27:25 - 27:27
    you've ever ever been to you know I'd
  • 27:27 - 27:30
    like to be friends with the the Israelis
  • 27:30 - 27:32
    around us but what you know not we what
  • 27:32 - 27:34
    are you going to do you know I'd like to
  • 27:34 - 27:35
    watch a TV show every now and then you
  • 27:35 - 27:37
    get about 2 minutes and then you got to
  • 27:37 - 27:38
    turn off the TV you can't watch it it's
  • 27:38 - 27:42
    all it's I don't love it but I'm
  • 27:42 - 27:43
    confessing you know I'm saying I don't
  • 27:43 - 27:44
    love it but I'd like to at least be
  • 27:44 - 27:46
    friends a little bit he says no no no no
  • 27:46 - 27:48
    no no you want to be friends with this
  • 27:48 - 27:51
    world you're an enemy of God oh no I'm
  • 27:51 - 27:54
    sorry Lord you know and what so it comes
  • 27:54 - 27:56
    to the place where we have to realize if
  • 27:56 - 28:00
    all this is true that that we we can't
  • 28:00 - 28:03
    be friends with this world we're you
  • 28:03 - 28:04
    have to live as kind of a reject you
  • 28:04 - 28:06
    know it's not going to work out you can
  • 28:06 - 28:08
    be nice you can smile at everybody and
  • 28:08 - 28:10
    you can have grace and favor that
  • 28:10 - 28:11
    doesn't mean you want to have grace and
  • 28:11 - 28:13
    favor people will appreciate us because
  • 28:13 - 28:16
    they see us walking with the Lord but it
  • 28:16 - 28:18
    we can't be buddies with him you know
  • 28:18 - 28:22
    and uh I'm I'm working on that one I
  • 28:22 - 28:23
    really I have no love for the world I
  • 28:23 - 28:25
    have no desire for the but I kind of
  • 28:25 - 28:27
    would like to you know just be friends
  • 28:27 - 28:29
    with them want to be friendly people you
  • 28:29 - 28:31
    know but it doesn't that doesn't work
  • 28:31 - 28:34
    out you know you can show them love you
  • 28:34 - 28:36
    can show people you can be friends to
  • 28:36 - 28:38
    them but you can't be friendly with them
  • 28:38 - 28:40
    you know and it's it's a different thing
  • 28:40 - 28:41
    you know I'm not saying don't be
  • 28:41 - 28:43
    friendly don't be loving we we pour the
  • 28:43 - 28:46
    love and friendship of Yeshua to the
  • 28:46 - 28:48
    people around us but we can't go down to
  • 28:48 - 28:50
    try to be accepted on in what they're
  • 28:50 - 28:53
    doing and we can't be with them on that
  • 28:53 - 28:54
    level as Yeshua said you got to be in
  • 28:54 - 28:57
    the world but not of the same spirit and
  • 28:57 - 28:59
    and you know that I'm just
  • 28:59 - 29:01
    confessing that that's a little it's a
  • 29:01 - 29:02
    little because there's something about
  • 29:02 - 29:03
    it we're people of love we want to have
  • 29:03 - 29:05
    friend we want to be friends with the
  • 29:05 - 29:08
    people around you it doesn't work so um
  • 29:08 - 29:10
    looking this and and I'm I'm also
  • 29:10 - 29:14
    thinking of the the the the sexual sins
  • 29:14 - 29:17
    that have been part of the the body not
  • 29:17 - 29:19
    just in the leaders but in in
  • 29:19 - 29:21
    everyone it you know the people that I
  • 29:21 - 29:23
    know they they wasn't people that were
  • 29:23 - 29:25
    looking for sin it wasn't that kind of
  • 29:25 - 29:28
    things it was just that we live
  • 29:28 - 29:29
    particular the western church it's kind
  • 29:29 - 29:31
    of like we're Believers but we're also
  • 29:31 - 29:33
    just friendly with the world you know
  • 29:33 - 29:34
    it's kind of like we're cool we're hip
  • 29:34 - 29:36
    we're going over it doesn't work the
  • 29:36 - 29:38
    people weren't looking to sin you know
  • 29:38 - 29:40
    they were but we were trying to be
  • 29:40 - 29:42
    friendly with the world and when you're
  • 29:42 - 29:44
    doing that you don't realize that you're
  • 29:44 - 29:47
    slowly getting stuck in the in the honey
  • 29:47 - 29:49
    and the mud and you're getting and you
  • 29:49 - 29:50
    don't realize it and you're getting and
  • 29:50 - 29:52
    then all of a sudden you say what
  • 29:52 - 29:55
    happened and I realize that we we have
  • 29:55 - 29:58
    to have another step of just really
  • 29:58 - 30:00
    coming coming to a deep understanding
  • 30:00 - 30:03
    that we can't be friends with the values
  • 30:03 - 30:05
    that are in the world and we in Israel
  • 30:05 - 30:08
    for instance if we go toward the 90% of
  • 30:08 - 30:11
    the Orthodox Jewish World
  • 30:11 - 30:14
    they hate Jesus even though they don't
  • 30:14 - 30:16
    know who he is but I'm saying and we
  • 30:16 - 30:18
    can't be Messianic Jews in it and the
  • 30:18 - 30:20
    world the rest of Israeli Society is
  • 30:20 - 30:23
    saturated in sexual sin and Rebellion
  • 30:23 - 30:27
    because we we got to walk in a holy Lane
  • 30:27 - 30:29
    in between that and and love everybody
  • 30:29 - 30:30
    around us and be a witness you know what
  • 30:30 - 30:33
    I'm saying but we have to wake up that
  • 30:33 - 30:36
    that we we can't relax in that
  • 30:36 - 30:39
    environment and um so that's it I just
  • 30:39 - 30:40
    want to
  • 30:40 - 30:44
    um pray and let me just go over those
  • 30:44 - 30:48
    points again we have to have a deep
  • 30:48 - 30:50
    brokenheartedness Holiness and the fear
  • 30:50 - 30:52
    of God and humility when we look at the
  • 30:52 - 30:54
    sexual sins around us on whatever the
  • 30:54 - 30:57
    sides are particularly realizing how
  • 30:57 - 30:59
    damaging that could be when those of us
  • 30:59 - 31:01
    and all of you were all being trained
  • 31:01 - 31:02
    for leadership there's nobody that's a
  • 31:02 - 31:04
    Believer that's not being trained for
  • 31:04 - 31:05
    leadership you got to realize the more
  • 31:05 - 31:07
    you're trained in leadership the more
  • 31:07 - 31:09
    prices it's going to have the more bad
  • 31:09 - 31:11
    effects it's going to have and it's come
  • 31:11 - 31:13
    to ruin the kingdom of God all this time
  • 31:13 - 31:15
    but thank
  • 31:15 - 31:17
    God Joseph and Mary and the people in
  • 31:17 - 31:20
    their generation overcome that she beat
  • 31:20 - 31:23
    the World by saying pure and then when
  • 31:23 - 31:26
    she gave Yeshua to the world then Yeshua
  • 31:26 - 31:28
    is the light he is the he is the Holy
  • 31:28 - 31:30
    One she's not the Holy One she just
  • 31:30 - 31:32
    maintained her her sexual Purity but
  • 31:32 - 31:34
    he's the Holy One and he's coming we
  • 31:34 - 31:36
    have Holiness that comes from him and
  • 31:36 - 31:39
    the and the the story of of Christmas of
  • 31:39 - 31:42
    the conception of Yeshua is also part of
  • 31:42 - 31:45
    the victory of the Holiness of God over
  • 31:45 - 31:48
    the sinfulness of this world hallelujah
  • 31:48 - 31:51
    hallelujah but we have to watch out not
  • 31:51 - 31:55
    to just try to be friendly on the same
  • 31:55 - 31:57
    level as the world around us and I was
  • 31:57 - 31:59
    just uh so I want to pray I just want to
  • 31:59 - 32:01
    also pray for this generation the
  • 32:01 - 32:02
    younger generation Believers or not
  • 32:02 - 32:05
    Believers as I've been tell we've been
  • 32:05 - 32:06
    talking about this with our family
  • 32:06 - 32:09
    members with their that know the age of
  • 32:09 - 32:12
    our children and grandchildren already
  • 32:12 - 32:15
    that that that they've been come become
  • 32:15 - 32:18
    totally um I'm not trying to overstate
  • 32:18 - 32:20
    something but dysfunctional in the
  • 32:20 - 32:21
    ability to have any kind of
  • 32:21 - 32:23
    interpersonal relationship they they
  • 32:23 - 32:24
    nobody can figure out how to get married
  • 32:24 - 32:26
    because the young boys and girls today
  • 32:26 - 32:27
    can't even talk to one another they
  • 32:27 - 32:30
    don't even know what to do well let's
  • 32:30 - 32:32
    just get a dog you know I mean just it's
  • 32:32 - 32:35
    just it's a it's a difficult world
  • 32:35 - 32:38
    because the the generations of this
  • 32:38 - 32:41
    sinfulness and worldliness has caused a
  • 32:41 - 32:43
    dysfunction not only in not only in
  • 32:43 - 32:45
    gender confusion but just in men and
  • 32:45 - 32:47
    women don't know how to talk to one
  • 32:47 - 32:48
    they're afraid to get married they're
  • 32:48 - 32:49
    afraid to have children they're afraid
  • 32:49 - 32:51
    to it's nothing the the whole thing is
  • 32:51 - 32:54
    falling apart but not with us we need to
  • 32:54 - 32:56
    pray for the Holiness of God that can
  • 32:56 - 32:59
    result in help healthy normal
  • 32:59 - 33:00
    relationships what are you trying to be
  • 33:00 - 33:02
    super holy go I'm trying to see if we
  • 33:02 - 33:04
    can have some normal relationships
  • 33:04 - 33:06
    Hallelujah and
  • 33:06 - 33:09
    um okay these were some heavy things so
  • 33:09 - 33:11
    let's just pray Lord God just pray with
  • 33:11 - 33:12
    me
  • 33:12 - 33:16
    and Heavenly Father we ask
