(201) “Lord, Make Me A Ray of Light”
How can you be a ray of Jesus’ light? In a sequel to last week’s episode with Dean Braxton, the Busses continue exploring the topic of the healing rays from Jesus’ crown and what your ray has to do with your calling in the earth. God wants to co-operate with you: healing bodies and souls, and healing the land and its waters. Jesus said that you will do greater works than He did, and through consecration and intimacy with your Father, He can co-labor with you to do just that. Bonus: The Busses share two songs that fit this theme.

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,400
Each one of us has a ray from Jesus' head.
2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,100
Like we are as directly connected to him
3
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:11,380
as the muscles in our body are connected
4
00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:14,740
to the nervous system that's connected to the brain.
5
00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:16,780
You know, there's a connection there.
6
00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:19,480
We are the body of Christ,
7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,180
and we are meant to be connected to him.
8
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:36,760
God promises in Joel 2.28 to pour out his Spirit on all humanity.
9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,560
Welcome to Global Outpouring.
10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,100
Are we content for that promised outpouring?
11
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:42,960
We equip for that outpouring
12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,340
so that we may engage in that very outpouring.
13
00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:47,640
I'm Philip Bus.
14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,080
And I'm Sharon Bus.
15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,900
Welcome to the podcast today.
16
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,300
We're so glad that you're with us.
17
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:55,280
We're going to bring something that feels kind of like a PS
18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,120
or a continuation of episode 200 with Dean Braxton,
19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,980
where he was talking about the rays of light,
20
00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:05,660
of healing light that were coming from Jesus.
21
00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:10,260
And this is how we can be a ray of light.
22
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:19,660

So let us hear from you.

Let us know if the Lord is speaking to you something
42
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:16,320
that you want us to bring to the podcast.
43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,920
And we'll pray into it and see what the Holy Spirit gives us.
44
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,100
We just love to hear from our listeners
45
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:24,500
and let us know where you're listening from.
46
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,440
We've seen from the statistics
47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,540
that we're being heard in 189 nations.
48
00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:34,380
And we want to know which nation you're listening from.
49
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:38,540
So today, we want to continue
50
00:02:38,540 --> 00:02:43,380
where we started in our last episode with Dean Braxton.
51
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:46,580
And if you haven't heard what he shared,
52
00:02:46,580 --> 00:02:47,820
you need to go back.
53
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:48,820
You want to listen to it.
54
00:02:48,820 --> 00:02:49,920
Wow, wow, wow.
55
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:53,760
It was so powerful because he is,
56
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,860
the Lord is giving him the grace and the go ahead
57
00:02:57,860 --> 00:03:02,200
to join us on this podcast to open up some of the things
58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,740
that he has never shared before.
59
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:06,480
You know, he was in heaven
60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,540
for an hour and 45 minutes of earth time.
61
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:13,420
And it was like, well, there's no time there.
62
00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:15,280
So it was like a really, really, really, really,
63
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,420
really long time.
64
00:03:17,420 --> 00:03:20,920
And he absorbed so much and got so much out of it
65
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:24,420
and saw so many things, but he has been,
66
00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:26,520
well, he has this agreement with the Lord
67
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,600
that he's not going to bring anything
68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,700
unless someone asks him a question about it.
69
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:34,960
But he's got to go ahead from the Lord
70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,900
to start sharing some things
71
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:39,340
that even if we haven't asked the question,
72
00:03:39,340 --> 00:03:42,240
he's got some things he wants to share.
73
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,180
If a day is a thousand years,
74
00:03:45,180 --> 00:03:47,780
you know, a day of earth time is like a thousand,
75
00:03:47,780 --> 00:03:50,760
you know, think of a spiritual like heaven
76
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,860
is comparing one day, 24 hours to like a thousand years
77
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:56,160
on earth.
78
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,260
That's a lot of years he was there.
79
00:03:57,260 --> 00:04:00,300
So if you're off the planet for an hour
80
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:02,700
and 45 minutes of earth time,
81
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,900
how much time is that really, you know, heavenly time?
82
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:08,740
We don't have to try to calculate that
83
00:04:08,740 --> 00:04:11,000
because that won't work anyway.
84
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,840
But it's just his relationship, you know,
85
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,640
once you've been there like that, you know,
86
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,240
we've heard this from, we know many people
87
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,080
that have had out of body experiences.
88
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,580
Yes, and death experiences.
89
00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:24,380
Some were dead on the slab, you know,
90
00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:25,720
and God sent them back, you know.
91
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,960
Right.
92
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,260
And the stories they have, you know,
93
00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:32,060
and Dean is just so, you know,
94
00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:35,700
because he was gone so long and so well documented,
95
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:38,360
but it's just like his relationship with the father
96
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,540
is to hear his voice all the time
97
00:04:41,540 --> 00:04:43,640
and even get to look in the spirit,
98
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,280
look into heaven and see what's happening there.
99
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:48,100
It's true.
100
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:49,080
It's just amazing.
101
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,280
It's true.
102
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,080
So the thing that he shared with us in the last episode
103
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,080
had to do with Jesus and the crown on his head
104
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,880
that looked like the sun.
105
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,260
And it had rays coming out from it
106
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:07,360
and those rays were healing rays.
107
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,600
And each one of them was for an individual.
108
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,600
They were like every single person has their own ray
109
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,340
that comes directly from him.
110
00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:22,740
And you can just go back and listen to that episode.
111
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:25,640
And I don't know if you wanna go back and listen
112
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,020
and then come to this one,
113
00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:29,020
but we're taking off from there.
114
00:05:29,020 --> 00:05:31,360
If you haven't heard it, please go back and hear it
115
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,820
because it was so, so powerful.
116
00:05:33,820 --> 00:05:37,060
But one of the things that we related it to
117
00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:41,200
was like the tassels on the tallit,
118
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,460
the tzitzit as they're called in Hebrew
119
00:05:44,460 --> 00:05:48,400
that have, they're like multiple strands
120
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,200
of strings or threads or.
121
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,380
And that's a prayer shawl.
122
00:05:52,380 --> 00:05:53,380
That's a prayer shawl.
123
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:54,540
That's right, yes.
124
00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:57,840
That you see pictures of all the Jewish men on the wall
125
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:00,480
or wherever they have the prayer shawl over their head.
126
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,320
Right.
127
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,360
And Jesus wore one of those.
128
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,220
And it becomes like a prayer closet
129
00:06:04,220 --> 00:06:05,620
when you put it over your head
130
00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:07,360
and you just close everything out.
131
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,720
I think that's one of the reasons why they use it.
132
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,920
That's wonderful.
133
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,260
There's a scripture in Malachi about
134
00:06:14,260 --> 00:06:16,260
the son of righteousness shall arise
135
00:06:16,260 --> 00:06:17,940
with healing in his wings.
136
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:21,240
And that particular scripture is,
137
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,040
I believe it's referring to when the woman
138
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,700
with the issue of blood reached out
139
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:27,940
and touched the tzitzit,
140
00:06:27,940 --> 00:06:32,040
she didn't dare to touch his actual garments,
141
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,780
but she thought if I can just touch those threads
142
00:06:34,780 --> 00:06:36,620
that are hanging from his garment,
143
00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:38,660
surely that'll be enough.
144
00:06:38,660 --> 00:06:40,620
And she touched and she was healed.
145
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:44,200
And the word in that scripture in Malachi
146
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,560
talks about healing in his wings
147
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,260
and that word wings can be translated corners,
148
00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:51,740
which could refer to the corners of the prayer shawl.
149
00:06:51,740 --> 00:06:53,000
Of the prayer shawl, okay.
150
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,200
Four corners.
151
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,340
So we talked about the tzitzit, the tassels,
152
00:06:57,340 --> 00:06:59,940
being like these rays that he saw
153
00:06:59,940 --> 00:07:03,720
coming out of Jesus' crown on his head.
154
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,240
So as I was meditating on this,
155
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,660
after we recorded that episode with Dean,
156
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:13,920
I was reminded of a song that I wrote,
157
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,120
oh, many years ago.
158
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,620
I don't remember how many years ago.
159
00:07:16,620 --> 00:07:17,460
I'm sure it's more than-
160
00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:18,700
Back in the 1980s.
161
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:23,700
Yeah, it's 30 something, approaching 40 probably.
162
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,240
And it's not a song that we've sung a whole lot.
163
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,840
We recorded it back in the day on a cassette.
164
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,440
Back on a cassette, yeah.
165
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,980
And if you still have a cassette player,
166
00:07:34,980 --> 00:07:37,180
we might still have some of those around.
167
00:07:37,180 --> 00:07:39,320
But I don't think you'll find them on the website.
168
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,520
But if you email us and you're interested,
169
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,780
we can negotiate here and get something to you.
170
00:07:44,780 --> 00:07:48,820
But anyway, this little song is something
171
00:07:48,820 --> 00:07:51,460
that I think really fits beautifully
172
00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:55,700
with this idea of each one of us has a ray
173
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:58,300
from Jesus' head.
174
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:02,000
Like we're as directly connected to him
175
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,280
as the muscles in our body are connected
176
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,040
to the nervous system that's connected to the brain.
177
00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:10,180
There's a connection there.
178
00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:13,380
We are the body of Christ.
179
00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:17,120
And we are meant to be connected to him.
180
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,320
So we just kind of got humble
181
00:08:22,660 --> 00:08:25,660
and made a humble little recording of this song
182
00:08:25,660 --> 00:08:27,100
to play for you,
183
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,900
because we didn't know how to get it off of the cassette
184
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,460
and into this podcast.
185
00:08:32,460 --> 00:08:35,940
So we just tried it again and recorded it again.
186
00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:38,600
And so we'll play it for you right now,
187
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,440
Ray of Light.
188
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,120
["Ray of Light"]
189
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,360
Oh Lord, make me a ray of light
190
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,960
Within this darkened world
191
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,560
The image of my Jesus Christ
192
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:10,340
On whom our sins were hurled
193
00:09:10,340 --> 00:09:15,080
I want to be so lost in Thee
194
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,880
That when men see my face
195
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,620
May my only identity
196
00:09:24,620 --> 00:09:29,620
Be Thy redeeming grace
197
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:36,600
I want to bear Your love and light
198
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,300
Upon my counted hands
199
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:46,040
May Thy great glory steal the storm
200
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,780
And calm the violence
201
00:09:50,780 --> 00:09:55,520
I want to be so lost in Thee
202
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,320
That when men see my face
203
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,060
May my only identity
204
00:10:05,060 --> 00:10:10,060
Be Thy redeeming grace
205
00:10:12,340 --> 00:10:17,180
And then when I return to Thee
206
00:10:17,180 --> 00:10:21,940
And end my journey home
207
00:10:21,940 --> 00:10:26,720
I only want to be a ray
208
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,420
Of light upon Thy throne
209
00:10:31,420 --> 00:10:36,120
I want to be so lost in Thee
210
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,920
That when men see my face
211
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,700
May my only identity
212
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:50,700
Be Thy redeeming grace
213
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,040
I want to be so lost in Thee
214
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,520
That when men see my face
215
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,320
May my only identity
216
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,320
Be Thy redeeming grace
217
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:37,000
Don't you just want to be a ray of light?
218
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,080
To bring Him glory?
219
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,140
Don't you just want His glory to shine through you?
220
00:11:42,140 --> 00:11:43,580
I think that's what this is about,
221
00:11:43,580 --> 00:11:47,520
is that connection with Jesus,
222
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,920
that connection with our Father,
223
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,060
that connection with who He is.
224
00:11:52,060 --> 00:11:55,600
So Philip, would you please read to us
225
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,200
Acts chapter two, verses one through four
226
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,000
from the Passion.
227
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled,
228
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,280
all the disciples were gathered in one place.
229
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,140
Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind
230
00:12:10,140 --> 00:12:13,280
rushing into the house from out of the heavenly realm.
231
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,780
The roar of the wind was so overpowering
232
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:17,820
it was all anyone could bear.
233
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:22,420
Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes.
234
00:12:22,420 --> 00:12:24,320
It separated into tongues of fire
235
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,420
that engulfed each one of them.
236
00:12:26,420 --> 00:12:29,900
They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit
237
00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:31,840
and were inspired to speak in tongues
238
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,440
empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages
239
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,540
they never learned.
240
00:12:35,540 --> 00:12:37,540
Now this, yeah.
241
00:12:37,540 --> 00:12:41,540
I'm always reminded when we think of the day of Pentecost,
242
00:12:41,540 --> 00:12:45,000
I'm always reminded of the movie,
243
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,680
The Ten Commandments that Cecil B. DeMille made
244
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,840
and Charlton Heston was Moses
245
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,340
and how that pillar of fire was up there
246
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:54,520
in the mountain with him
247
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,120
and the little flames were slinging off of it
248
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,120
to be the finger of God writing in the tablets.
249
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,200
And I always see that on the day of Pentecost as well,
250
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,800
but I didn't know that the Passion Translation
251
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,540
had put this in and of course it's in italics,
252
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:12,340
it's something that is added.
253
00:13:12,340 --> 00:13:17,340
This particular translation is a dynamic translation
254
00:13:17,340 --> 00:13:19,680
that isn't word for word,
255
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:24,220
but it gives the sense of what's available
256
00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:26,220
in the various original languages
257
00:13:26,220 --> 00:13:28,480
and he uses the Aramaic quite a lot.
258
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:29,780
But there's a footnote here
259
00:13:29,780 --> 00:13:32,220
where it talks about the pillar of fire.
260
00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:34,860
And I just wanna read to you what this footnote says
261
00:13:34,860 --> 00:13:37,060
because it goes so amazingly
262
00:13:37,060 --> 00:13:40,600
with what we are studying about these rays of light.
263
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,140
So it says, this was the pillar of fire
264
00:13:43,140 --> 00:13:47,400
that led Israel from bondage into the promised land.
265
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,380
The same pillar of fire manifested here
266
00:13:50,380 --> 00:13:54,880
to initiate a new beginning from dead religious structures
267
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,280
into the powerful life of the spirit.
268
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,120
Amen.
269
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,120
Each believer received an overpowering flame of fire
270
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,120
signified by the shaft of light that engulfed them.
271
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,300
Isn't that amazing?
272
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:11,400
A shaft of light.
273
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,240
Shelf of light.
274
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,760
And it's referring to the Holy Spirit, right?
275
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:15,600
Yeah.
276
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,640
It was as though each one received
277
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,200
his own personal pillar of fire
278
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,140
that would empower him and lead him throughout his life.
279
00:14:24,140 --> 00:14:27,040
This was the promise Jesus gave to his disciples
280
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,020
of the one like me.
281
00:14:30,020 --> 00:14:31,380
That's beautiful.
282
00:14:31,380 --> 00:14:33,980
Who would be sent by the father and never leave them.
283
00:14:33,980 --> 00:14:39,000
Well, let's just go over here and look at that scripture.
284
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,500
John 14, 12 to 17, in that passion,
285
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:45,700
I tell you this timeless truth.
286
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:49,100
The person who follows me in faith, believing in me,
287
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:51,800
will do the same mighty miracles that I do,
288
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,400
even greater miracles than these,
289
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,080
because I go to be with my father.
290
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,440
For I will do whatever you ask me to do
291
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,640
when you ask me in my name.
292
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,780
And that is how the son will show what the father
293
00:15:02,780 --> 00:15:05,380
is really like and bring glory to him.
294
00:15:05,380 --> 00:15:08,920
Ask me anything in my name and I will do it for you.
295
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,820
Loving me empowers you to obey my commands.
296
00:15:11,820 --> 00:15:12,660
Oh, that's beautiful.
297
00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:13,800
Yeah.
298
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,960
And I will ask the father and he will give you another savior.
299
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,000
Now that's interesting.
300
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,240
That's an interesting way to translate that.
301
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,800
And he's got a great footnote in there.
302
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,540
And you can go and find it for yourself.
303
00:15:26,540 --> 00:15:29,100
If you don't have a passion translation,
304
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:30,680
you can get the app.
305
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,780
The Life Bible app has the whole passion translation
306
00:15:33,780 --> 00:15:36,120
and you can see the footnotes, but we're not going there.
307
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,560
But other translations say they use the word advocate
308
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,180
or comforter or encourager, helper, intercessor, counselor,
309
00:15:44,180 --> 00:15:45,560
talking about the Holy Spirit.
310
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Yeah.
311
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,220
So go ahead, sorry.
312
00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:49,660
Sorry to interrupt you, but I thought I'd throw that in.
313
00:15:49,660 --> 00:15:51,560
Okay, he will give you another savior,
314
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,360
the Holy Spirit of truth, who will be to you a friend,
315
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,480
just like me, and he will never leave you.
316
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,340
The world won't receive him because they can't see him
317
00:16:01,340 --> 00:16:04,080
or know him, but you know him intimately
318
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,620
because he remains with you and will live inside you.
319
00:16:08,620 --> 00:16:10,180
Amen.
320
00:16:10,180 --> 00:16:11,020
Yes.
321
00:16:11,020 --> 00:16:14,660
And he's living inside of us in order to help us.
322
00:16:14,660 --> 00:16:17,620
He's a helper to connect us with our father,
323
00:16:17,620 --> 00:16:19,620
to connect us with Jesus.
324
00:16:19,620 --> 00:16:23,960
And our father is a healer, he always was a healer.
325
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,960
And he designed healing into us even before,
326
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,180
I'm sure he had to have designed it
327
00:16:32,180 --> 00:16:34,780
even before Adam and Eve fell
328
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:37,340
because we have healing just working in us.
329
00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:39,820
Well, the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
330
00:16:39,820 --> 00:16:40,640
Exactly.
331
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,120
So Adam and Eve weren't there yet.
332
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,660
That's right, that's right.
333
00:16:43,660 --> 00:16:47,580
So healing is a part of the atonement package.
334
00:16:47,580 --> 00:16:49,700
When Jesus died for us to be our savior,
335
00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:52,420
he also died and took that horrible beating
336
00:16:52,420 --> 00:16:53,860
to be our healer.
337
00:16:53,860 --> 00:16:58,860
But he did that because he is one with the father.
338
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:04,220
He is, do I dare say it, he is Jehovah himself.
339
00:17:04,220 --> 00:17:06,820
He came to the earth in the person of his son.
340
00:17:06,820 --> 00:17:10,100
They are so one, we don't get it how one they are.
341
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:12,140
It's totally out of our paradigm.
342
00:17:12,140 --> 00:17:14,700
The only way we will understand the Trinity
343
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,100
is when we're with them.
344
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:17,300
Exactly.
345
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:18,420
In eternity.
346
00:17:18,420 --> 00:17:19,840
Yes, I'm sure that's true.
347
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,900
And we will continue to make discoveries for all eternity.
348
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:25,780
That's one of the things that Dean says.
349
00:17:25,780 --> 00:17:30,300
As soon as you grasp how amazing our father is
350
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:33,260
or Jesus, either one, then he says,
351
00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:34,340
where's the Holy Spirit?
352
00:17:34,340 --> 00:17:36,500
Well, the Holy Spirit is inside of you.
353
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:39,460
So that's why he didn't really see the Holy Spirit in heaven.
354
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:41,940
But he said, he said, as soon as you recognize
355
00:17:41,940 --> 00:17:46,820
how wonderful and great and glorious and beautiful God is,
356
00:17:46,820 --> 00:17:49,340
by the time you've figured that out in your head,
357
00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:52,180
he's greater and more glorious and more beautiful.
358
00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:55,480
So this is gonna continue for all of eternity.
359
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,740
But he is a healer and Exodus 15, 26 says,
360
00:17:59,740 --> 00:18:02,220
if you will diligently hearken to the voice
361
00:18:02,220 --> 00:18:06,180
of Jehovah your God, and will do that which is right
362
00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:08,640
in his sight and will give ear to his commandments
363
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,840
and keep all his statues, I will put none of these diseases
364
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,340
upon you, which I've brought upon the Egyptians,
365
00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:18,940
for I am Jehovah that heals you.
366
00:18:18,940 --> 00:18:22,620
So right from the get go, when he is making covenant
367
00:18:22,620 --> 00:18:26,020
with his children, with his people, Israel,
368
00:18:26,020 --> 00:18:28,860
he's making covenant with them to show us
369
00:18:28,860 --> 00:18:32,900
how it's supposed to be in our covenant with him,
370
00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:36,620
he's making himself known as the one who heals.
371
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:39,380
And that's what Jesus came to operate in.
372
00:18:39,380 --> 00:18:42,380
But let's just look at a few more Old Testament scriptures.
373
00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:46,900
Psalm 103 says, who forgives all your iniquities,
374
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,300
who heals all your diseases, that's our Father.
375
00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:52,460
Yeah, and then in Psalm 107 verse 20,
376
00:18:52,460 --> 00:18:55,220
he sent his word and healed them and delivered them
377
00:18:55,220 --> 00:18:56,540
from their destructions.
378
00:18:56,540 --> 00:18:59,940
So he is our healer and our deliverer.
379
00:18:59,940 --> 00:19:02,060
He is our salvation.
380
00:19:02,060 --> 00:19:05,020
Psalm 147, three says he heals the broken in heart
381
00:19:05,020 --> 00:19:06,420
and binds up their wounds.
382
00:19:06,420 --> 00:19:09,820
And when we take communion, all of that is in one cup,
383
00:19:09,820 --> 00:19:12,660
salvation, healing, restoration,
384
00:19:12,660 --> 00:19:15,260
it's all in the communion elements.
385
00:19:15,260 --> 00:19:16,100
Amen, amen.
386
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:17,140
It's all by faith.
387
00:19:17,140 --> 00:19:21,660
Right, and so he bore our griefs and carried our sorrows.
388
00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:25,220
So the broken in heart can look to him
389
00:19:25,220 --> 00:19:28,380
as our healer of broken hearts.
390
00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:31,540
When we first got the revelation
391
00:19:31,540 --> 00:19:34,700
that we could receive him as savior,
392
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:37,620
we received him as savior.
393
00:19:37,620 --> 00:19:38,460
Yes.
394
00:19:38,460 --> 00:19:40,020
We took him in.
395
00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:45,020
And when we realize that he is every bit healer
396
00:19:45,420 --> 00:19:50,420
as much as he is savior, I mean, when he walked on the earth,
397
00:19:50,660 --> 00:19:52,700
that's what he was known for, was healing.
398
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:53,860
Healing, yeah.
399
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:55,700
And what scripture did we just read?
400
00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:58,980
He said, because I'm going to the Father,
401
00:19:58,980 --> 00:20:03,700
you will do these miracles that I'm doing and greater works.
402
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:06,580
So we need to see him and receive him
403
00:20:06,580 --> 00:20:08,940
and accept him as our healer.
404
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:12,420
We need to receive him and accept him as our deliverer,
405
00:20:12,420 --> 00:20:15,500
as the one who heals our broken hearts
406
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:17,860
and delivers us from our destruction.
407
00:20:17,860 --> 00:20:20,820
So I mean, the things that we get ourselves into,
408
00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:21,940
ay, ay, ay.
409
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:24,580
But he's our deliverer.
410
00:20:24,580 --> 00:20:27,780
We just cry out to him, oh God help.
411
00:20:27,780 --> 00:20:30,260
And he does, he shows up and helps.
412
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:33,780
He's just waiting for us to reach out to him.
413
00:20:33,780 --> 00:20:38,780
So he wants to use us in the same way that he used Jesus.
414
00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:41,940
So I want to go back and look at an Old Testament
415
00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:46,420
illustration of how he uses people for healing
416
00:20:46,420 --> 00:20:49,500
and even not only just healing bodies,
417
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:53,660
but even healing the land, even healing the waters.
418
00:20:53,660 --> 00:20:56,940
If you look at 2 Kings chapter two,
419
00:20:56,940 --> 00:21:00,220
this is where Elijah is taken up into heaven
420
00:21:00,220 --> 00:21:03,860
and Elijah goes across the river Jordan with him
421
00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:07,780
on dry land and he used his mantle.
422
00:21:07,780 --> 00:21:10,260
Now we're back to the prayer shawl again.
423
00:21:10,260 --> 00:21:14,580
So he used his mantle to smack the waters
424
00:21:14,580 --> 00:21:15,860
and the waters rolled back
425
00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:18,260
and they walked across on dry land.
426
00:21:18,260 --> 00:21:20,980
And while they're walking, Elijah's asking,
427
00:21:20,980 --> 00:21:22,340
Elijah, what do you want?
428
00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:25,300
Elijah says, I want a double portion of your spirit.
429
00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:28,500
Yeah, what Bible school did Elijah go to?
430
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:30,420
He went to the school of the prophets.
431
00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:31,820
School of the prophets, yeah.
432
00:21:31,820 --> 00:21:35,020
But he was mentored personally by Elijah.
433
00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:37,980
And school of the prophets was started by Samuel.
434
00:21:37,980 --> 00:21:39,300
Yes, that's true.
435
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:42,580
And Elijah was going from one school to the next
436
00:21:42,580 --> 00:21:45,340
in all those different cities in that chapter.
437
00:21:45,340 --> 00:21:49,340
So we get to where the mantle is dropped.
438
00:21:49,340 --> 00:21:51,820
Would that be schools of the prophets?
439
00:21:51,820 --> 00:21:52,660
Yes.
440
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:53,500
There was more than one.
441
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:56,380
Yes, because first he said, stay in Gilgal.
442
00:21:56,380 --> 00:21:59,500
Because I think there was a school there.
443
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:01,340
And then they'd stay in Bethel.
444
00:22:01,340 --> 00:22:03,220
And he says, no, I'm going with you.
445
00:22:03,220 --> 00:22:05,260
And then they get to Jericho.
446
00:22:05,260 --> 00:22:07,980
And he says, just stay here in Jericho.
447
00:22:07,980 --> 00:22:08,820
I'm gonna go on.
448
00:22:08,820 --> 00:22:11,500
And he says, no, I'm going with you.
449
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:13,220
Stick with you like glue.
450
00:22:13,220 --> 00:22:15,260
Exactly.
451
00:22:15,260 --> 00:22:18,220
So Elijah goes up in the fiery chariot
452
00:22:18,220 --> 00:22:21,900
and drops the mantle on Elisha.
453
00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:25,140
So Elisha picks up the mantle, okay?
454
00:22:25,140 --> 00:22:26,940
Remember, it's got the tzitzit.
455
00:22:26,940 --> 00:22:28,580
It's got those corners.
456
00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:31,900
It's got those strings
457
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:35,540
that are representative of healing.
458
00:22:35,540 --> 00:22:38,980
So the first miracle he does is going to the water.
459
00:22:38,980 --> 00:22:39,980
Exactly.
460
00:22:39,980 --> 00:22:42,220
Where is the Lord God of Elijah?
461
00:22:42,220 --> 00:22:44,020
Oh yes, that's right.
462
00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:46,820
So he smites the, and everybody's looking.
463
00:22:46,820 --> 00:22:49,980
Because all the prophets, they were saying,
464
00:22:49,980 --> 00:22:51,780
says your master is gonna be taken away.
465
00:22:51,780 --> 00:22:52,980
It's just like they knew it.
466
00:22:52,980 --> 00:22:57,380
They knew in the spirit that something was going to happen.
467
00:22:57,380 --> 00:22:58,820
And it did.
468
00:22:58,820 --> 00:23:01,700
And so when he smacked the water with that mantle
469
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:05,140
and it parted the waters, just like it did for Elijah.
470
00:23:05,140 --> 00:23:06,060
Exactly.
471
00:23:06,060 --> 00:23:07,540
Oh wow.
472
00:23:07,540 --> 00:23:10,100
Yeah, he was carrying the mantle.
473
00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:12,220
So then he gets back to Jericho
474
00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:14,980
and they're fussing at him saying,
475
00:23:14,980 --> 00:23:16,700
well, maybe we should just go look.
476
00:23:16,700 --> 00:23:18,500
And he says, no, he's gone.
477
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:19,340
He's gone up.
478
00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:21,300
And so finally he says-
479
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:23,260
Some of them did, yeah, go ahead and look.
480
00:23:23,260 --> 00:23:24,380
Yeah, go ahead and look.
481
00:23:24,380 --> 00:23:26,540
So they go looking for three days.
482
00:23:26,540 --> 00:23:27,540
And they didn't find him.
483
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:31,780
And then, you know, Elijah says, didn't I say, don't go?
484
00:23:31,780 --> 00:23:36,780
And then the men of the city of Jericho come to Elijah
485
00:23:37,660 --> 00:23:41,180
and they say, look, this is a beautiful location
486
00:23:41,180 --> 00:23:42,460
for this city.
487
00:23:42,460 --> 00:23:43,860
And it is, we've been to Jericho.
488
00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:44,700
Yeah, we've been to Jericho.
489
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:47,060
It's the city of Palm trees, right?
490
00:23:47,060 --> 00:23:48,820
We've had coffee there.
491
00:23:48,820 --> 00:23:49,660
A number of times.
492
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:51,820
A number of times, for the whole tour group.
493
00:23:51,820 --> 00:23:52,700
Right.
494
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:55,860
So the point is here that these people,
495
00:23:55,860 --> 00:23:57,540
the elders of the city, I suppose,
496
00:23:57,540 --> 00:23:59,180
the men of the city, it says,
497
00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:02,740
they come to him and they say, this is a beautiful place,
498
00:24:02,740 --> 00:24:04,260
but we have a problem.
499
00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:07,380
The ground is barren and the water is nothing.
500
00:24:07,380 --> 00:24:08,420
And so-
501
00:24:08,420 --> 00:24:11,060
Did you think the water was always that way?
502
00:24:11,060 --> 00:24:11,900
I don't know.
503
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:14,660
It might've come because God shut down the city
504
00:24:14,660 --> 00:24:16,100
under Joshua.
505
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:17,740
Didn't Joshua curse the city?
506
00:24:17,740 --> 00:24:18,580
He did.
507
00:24:18,580 --> 00:24:19,820
He did, he cursed the city.
508
00:24:19,820 --> 00:24:20,660
If he cursed the city,
509
00:24:20,660 --> 00:24:22,940
maybe the water source got cursed too.
510
00:24:22,940 --> 00:24:24,500
It is possible.
511
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:27,060
Why would you build a city next to a stream
512
00:24:27,060 --> 00:24:28,620
that has lousy water?
513
00:24:28,620 --> 00:24:29,460
Right.
514
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:31,060
I don't know.
515
00:24:31,060 --> 00:24:33,180
Because there isn't any streams we know in Jericho.
516
00:24:33,180 --> 00:24:37,260
Yeah, but Jericho was there when Joshua got there
517
00:24:37,260 --> 00:24:39,940
and presumably the water was okay then.
518
00:24:39,940 --> 00:24:42,580
So it does make sense that that could be.
519
00:24:42,580 --> 00:24:45,540
So anyway, Elisha asks for,
520
00:24:45,540 --> 00:24:47,580
bring me a vessel with salt.
521
00:24:47,580 --> 00:24:49,380
And he dumps it in.
522
00:24:49,380 --> 00:24:51,140
And here's what he says.
523
00:24:51,140 --> 00:24:56,140
Thus says Jehovah, I have healed these waters
524
00:24:56,460 --> 00:25:00,300
and there shall not be from there any more death
525
00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:01,940
or barren land.
526
00:25:01,940 --> 00:25:03,140
So the waters were healed
527
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:04,700
and the waters are still good there.
528
00:25:04,700 --> 00:25:06,180
Yeah, we've drank from them.
529
00:25:06,180 --> 00:25:07,420
Yeah, we've been to that spring.
530
00:25:07,420 --> 00:25:08,260
Yeah.
531
00:25:08,260 --> 00:25:09,140
And it's still good.
532
00:25:09,140 --> 00:25:11,820
All these many, many, many, many years later,
533
00:25:11,820 --> 00:25:13,020
millennia later.
534
00:25:13,020 --> 00:25:13,860
Yeah.
535
00:25:13,860 --> 00:25:16,380
And it's just amazing.
536
00:25:16,380 --> 00:25:18,740
But here's what I'm trying to get to.
537
00:25:18,740 --> 00:25:22,900
God says, I healed the water, right?
538
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:26,820
Thus says the Lord, I have healed these waters.
539
00:25:26,820 --> 00:25:30,060
So Elisha is just the vessel used.
540
00:25:30,060 --> 00:25:31,060
Exactly.
541
00:25:31,060 --> 00:25:34,820
Elisha is co-operating with God.
542
00:25:34,820 --> 00:25:36,460
They're operating together.
543
00:25:36,460 --> 00:25:37,300
Yes.
544
00:25:37,300 --> 00:25:41,900
And that's what God wants to do through you, listener.
545
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:45,460
He wants to heal you of everything that you need healing of.
546
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:48,700
And he wants to use you to bring healing to others
547
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:52,420
because you have that ray that's a healing ray
548
00:25:52,420 --> 00:25:54,180
that comes from our heavenly father.
549
00:25:54,180 --> 00:25:55,380
It comes from Jesus.
550
00:25:55,380 --> 00:25:58,740
It comes to you, specifically to you.
551
00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:02,180
You have your very own light beam.
552
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:07,260
So it's really in this intimate relationship
553
00:26:07,260 --> 00:26:10,860
that we develop as we walk with the Lord.
554
00:26:10,860 --> 00:26:14,060
And I love what it says in John 17, three.
555
00:26:14,060 --> 00:26:17,780
This is in Jesus' prayer at the end of the upper room discourse,
556
00:26:17,780 --> 00:26:18,620
as they call it.
557
00:26:18,620 --> 00:26:21,820
It's the chat that Jesus had with his disciples
558
00:26:21,820 --> 00:26:24,380
after he had the last supper with them
559
00:26:24,380 --> 00:26:26,620
and instituted the Holy Communion.
560
00:26:26,620 --> 00:26:31,620
And Judas had gone out to prepare to betray him.
561
00:26:31,620 --> 00:26:33,540
So he's praying to the father.
562
00:26:33,540 --> 00:26:37,940
He says, this is life eternal, that they may know you,
563
00:26:37,940 --> 00:26:42,940
the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
564
00:26:42,940 --> 00:26:47,860
So really this whole thing of co-operating with him
565
00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:51,420
has to do with our intimate relationship with him.
566
00:26:51,420 --> 00:26:55,140
And that's not something that you can have a shortcut on.
567
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:57,700
It takes time.
568
00:26:57,700 --> 00:27:00,740
It takes giving your attention to him.
569
00:27:00,740 --> 00:27:04,260
It takes cutting yourself away from the distractions.
570
00:27:04,260 --> 00:27:09,100
And it takes consecration, because he's knowable.
571
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:10,900
He wants you to know him.
572
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:12,300
He knows you.
573
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:13,660
He knows everything about you.
574
00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:16,100
He knows every thought, he knows every word,
575
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:19,020
he knows every action, all of that's being recorded.
576
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:21,140
But he wants you to know him.
577
00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:23,900
He wants you to know his thoughts.
578
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:25,820
He wants you to know his words.
579
00:27:25,820 --> 00:27:27,580
He wants you to know his actions.
580
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:29,820
He wants you to know his ways.
581
00:27:29,820 --> 00:27:32,140
His ways are higher than our ways.
582
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:34,340
And his thoughts are higher than our thoughts,
583
00:27:34,340 --> 00:27:38,260
but he wants us to start getting connected with him
584
00:27:38,260 --> 00:27:41,340
in a greater way every single day.
585
00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:44,580
But the thing that came to me as we were preparing for this
586
00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:48,380
and meditating on this is the word consecrate.
587
00:27:48,380 --> 00:27:51,020
And it means to make holy.
588
00:27:51,020 --> 00:27:54,420
I looked it up in my etymology app.
589
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,860
It's called ethymonline.com.
590
00:27:58,860 --> 00:28:01,520
And it's talking about the word consecrate.
591
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,560
It means to make holy.
592
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,100
It says from assimilated form of com,
593
00:28:07,100 --> 00:28:09,820
with, meaning with or together.
594
00:28:09,820 --> 00:28:14,820
Okay, so consecrate, the con part means with or together.
595
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:19,300
And the word sacrare, to make or declare sacred.
596
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:20,620
And then it says see sacred.
597
00:28:20,620 --> 00:28:22,660
So here's what sacred says.
598
00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:25,020
It means hallowed, consecrated.
599
00:28:25,020 --> 00:28:30,020
Now get this, made holy by association with divinity
600
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,100
or divine things.
601
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:33,980
Or by religious ceremony or sanction.
602
00:28:33,980 --> 00:28:38,900
So the point is, you get consecrated
603
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:41,700
by getting with Him.
604
00:28:41,700 --> 00:28:43,860
It sets you aside.
605
00:28:43,860 --> 00:28:48,180
It makes you holy when you get connected to Him.
606
00:28:48,180 --> 00:28:51,420
And this ray of light that is given for you,
607
00:28:51,420 --> 00:28:56,420
this Holy Spirit bright light ray is given to you
608
00:28:56,820 --> 00:28:58,760
to make you one with Him.
609
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,100
And the Lord gave me another song.
610
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:05,360
This is unusual for us to bring music into our podcasts,
611
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,220
but we are musicians and we've written songs.
612
00:29:08,220 --> 00:29:10,340
And this one is not quite so old.
613
00:29:10,340 --> 00:29:12,340
It's the first one that we did.
614
00:29:12,340 --> 00:29:16,340
But this one is, I Am Yours, completely yours.
615
00:29:16,340 --> 00:29:18,660
It's a song that just came to you in the Spirit.
616
00:29:18,660 --> 00:29:20,460
Yeah, it just came to me in the Spirit.
617
00:29:20,460 --> 00:29:23,340
It just downloaded and we haven't sung it a whole lot
618
00:29:23,340 --> 00:29:24,720
and we've never recorded it before.
619
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,120
So you're the first ones who get to hear the recording.
620
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,140
Well, you probably could find it maybe
621
00:29:29,140 --> 00:29:33,060
on one of our recordings of a Friday night live worship
622
00:29:33,060 --> 00:29:35,460
or something in one of our conventions, but.
623
00:29:35,460 --> 00:29:36,380
We wouldn't know where to look.
624
00:29:36,380 --> 00:29:38,300
We wouldn't know where to look to find it.
625
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:43,300
So here it is for you to draw you into a deeper consecration.
626
00:29:44,940 --> 00:29:49,260
Just listen to this song and maybe even sing along
627
00:29:49,260 --> 00:29:51,940
as you get it and then we'll pray.
628
00:29:51,940 --> 00:29:54,620
["I Am Yours"]
629
00:29:54,620 --> 00:29:59,620
["I Am Yours"]
630
00:30:24,620 --> 00:30:29,620
["I Am Yours"]
631
00:30:54,620 --> 00:31:00,620
["I Am Yours"]
632
00:31:24,620 --> 00:31:30,620
["I Am Yours"]
633
00:31:54,620 --> 00:32:00,620
["I Am Yours"]
634
00:32:25,620 --> 00:32:28,820
You gave your life for me, Jesus.
635
00:32:28,820 --> 00:32:30,980
I give my life to you.
636
00:32:30,980 --> 00:32:33,440
I am yours and you are mine.
637
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,620
Just like the book of Song of Solomon says,
638
00:32:36,620 --> 00:32:39,640
I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine.
639
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,460
You are ours and we are yours.
640
00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:44,260
We belong to you.
641
00:32:44,260 --> 00:32:47,360
We are a part of your body.
642
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,820
We've been connected to you.
643
00:32:48,820 --> 00:32:51,060
Thank you, Jesus, for connecting us.
644
00:32:51,060 --> 00:32:54,320
Thank you for connecting us as believers.
645
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,140
Thank you for saving us.
646
00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:58,220
Thank you for being our healer
647
00:32:58,220 --> 00:33:00,340
and thank you for working through us
648
00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:05,140
to do the miracles that you did and greater works, Lord.
649
00:33:05,140 --> 00:33:09,140
As we consecrate ourselves new and fresh today,
650
00:33:09,140 --> 00:33:11,060
Lord, we're asking you to minister
651
00:33:11,060 --> 00:33:14,260
to every single listener all over the world
652
00:33:14,260 --> 00:33:17,620
and bring them into a deeper walk with you,
653
00:33:17,620 --> 00:33:22,540
a deeper communion with you, a deeper relationship,
654
00:33:22,540 --> 00:33:27,540
more intimate, more knowing you and releasing themselves.
655
00:33:28,260 --> 00:33:30,120
We release each one of us, Lord.
656
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,380
I release myself to you in a new, fresh way.
657
00:33:33,380 --> 00:33:36,520
Lord, I give you my spirit, soul and body, Lord,
658
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,500
so that you can do everything that you want to do
659
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:43,260
through me, through us, through each of us,
660
00:33:43,260 --> 00:33:47,020
your body, in Jesus' name, amen.
661
00:33:47,020 --> 00:33:47,860
Amen.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,400
Each one of us has a ray from Jesus' head.
2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,100
Like we are as directly connected to him
3
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:11,380
as the muscles in our body are connected
4
00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:14,740
to the nervous system that's connected to the brain.
5
00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:16,780
You know, there's a connection there.
6
00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:19,480
We are the body of Christ,
7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,180
and we are meant to be connected to him.
8
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:36,760
God promises in Joel 2.28 to pour out his Spirit on all humanity.
9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,560
Welcome to Global Outpouring.
10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,100
Are we content for that promised outpouring?
11
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:42,960
We equip for that outpouring
12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,340
so that we may engage in that very outpouring.

We're so glad that you're with us.
17
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:55,280
We're going to bring something that feels kind of like a PS
18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,120
or a continuation of episode 200 with Dean Braxton,
19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,980
where he was talking about the rays of light,
20
00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:05,660
of healing light that were coming from Jesus.
21
00:01:05,660 --> 00:01:10,260
And this is how we can be a ray of light.

00:01:53,940 --> 00:01:56,440
And we would love to hear from you.
36
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,700
If you have some feedback for us,
37
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:01,640
there's a feedback form on that page.
38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,780
And there's also our email address,
39
00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:08,040
feedback at globaloutpouring.org.
40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,820
So let us hear from you.
41
00:02:09,820 --> 00:02:12,620
Let us know if the Lord is speaking to you something
42
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:16,320
that you want us to bring to the podcast.
43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,920
And we'll pray into it and see what the Holy Spirit gives us.
44
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,100
We just love to hear from our listeners
45
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:24,500
and let us know where you're listening from.
46
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,440
We've seen from the statistics
47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,540
that we're being heard in 189 nations.
48
00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:34,380
And we want to know which nation you're listening from.
49
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:38,540
So today, we want to continue
50
00:02:38,540 --> 00:02:43,380
where we started in our last episode with Dean Braxton.
51
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:46,580
And if you haven't heard what he shared,
52
00:02:46,580 --> 00:02:47,820
you need to go back.
53
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:48,820
You want to listen to it.
54
00:02:48,820 --> 00:02:49,920
Wow, wow, wow.
55
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:53,760
It was so powerful because he is,
56
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,860
the Lord is giving him the grace and the go ahead
57
00:02:57,860 --> 00:03:02,200
to join us on this podcast to open up some of the things
58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,740
that he has never shared before.
59
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:06,480
You know, he was in heaven
60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,540
for an hour and 45 minutes of earth time.
61
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:13,420
And it was like, well, there's no time there.
62
00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:15,280
So it was like a really, really, really, really,
63
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,420
really long time.
64
00:03:17,420 --> 00:03:20,920
And he absorbed so much and got so much out of it
65
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:24,420
and saw so many things, but he has been,
66
00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:26,520
well, he has this agreement with the Lord
67
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,600
that he's not going to bring anything
68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,700
unless someone asks him a question about it.
69
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:34,960
But he's got to go ahead from the Lord
70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,900
to start sharing some things
71
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:39,340
that even if we haven't asked the question,
72
00:03:39,340 --> 00:03:42,240
he's got some things he wants to share.
73
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,180
If a day is a thousand years,
74
00:03:45,180 --> 00:03:47,780
you know, a day of earth time is like a thousand,
75
00:03:47,780 --> 00:03:50,760
you know, think of a spiritual like heaven
76
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,860
is comparing one day, 24 hours to like a thousand years
77
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:56,160
on earth.
78
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,260
That's a lot of years he was there.
79
00:03:57,260 --> 00:04:00,300
So if you're off the planet for an hour
80
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:02,700
and 45 minutes of earth time,
81
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,900
how much time is that really, you know, heavenly time?
82
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:08,740
We don't have to try to calculate that
83
00:04:08,740 --> 00:04:11,000
because that won't work anyway.
84
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,840
But it's just his relationship, you know,
85
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,640
once you've been there like that, you know,
86
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,240
we've heard this from, we know many people
87
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,080
that have had out of body experiences.
88
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,580
Yes, and death experiences.
89
00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:24,380
Some were dead on the slab, you know,
90
00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:25,720
and God sent them back, you know.
91
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,960
Right.
92
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,260
And the stories they have, you know,
93
00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:32,060
and Dean is just so, you know,
94
00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:35,700
because he was gone so long and so well documented,
95
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:38,360
but it's just like his relationship with the father
96
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,540
is to hear his voice all the time
97
00:04:41,540 --> 00:04:43,640
and even get to look in the spirit,
98
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,280
look into heaven and see what's happening there.
99
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:48,100
It's true.
100
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:49,080
It's just amazing.
101
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,280
It's true.
102
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,080
So the thing that he shared with us in the last episode
103
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,080
had to do with Jesus and the crown on his head
104
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,880
that looked like the sun.
105
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,260
And it had rays coming out from it
106
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:07,360
and those rays were healing rays.
107
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,600
And each one of them was for an individual.
108
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,600
They were like every single person has their own ray
109
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,340
that comes directly from him.
110
00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:22,740
And you can just go back and listen to that episode.
111
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:25,640
And I don't know if you wanna go back and listen
112
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,020
and then come to this one,
113
00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:29,020
but we're taking off from there.
114
00:05:29,020 --> 00:05:31,360
If you haven't heard it, please go back and hear it
115
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,820
because it was so, so powerful.
116
00:05:33,820 --> 00:05:37,060
But one of the things that we related it to
117
00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:41,200
was like the tassels on the tallit,
118
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,460
the tzitzit as they're called in Hebrew
119
00:05:44,460 --> 00:05:48,400
that have, they're like multiple strands
120
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,200
of strings or threads or.
121
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,380
And that's a prayer shawl.
122
00:05:52,380 --> 00:05:53,380
That's a prayer shawl.
123
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:54,540
That's right, yes.
124
00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:57,840
That you see pictures of all the Jewish men on the wall
125
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:00,480
or wherever they have the prayer shawl over their head.
126
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,320
Right.
127
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,360
And Jesus wore one of those.
128
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,220
And it becomes like a prayer closet
129
00:06:04,220 --> 00:06:05,620
when you put it over your head
130
00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:07,360
and you just close everything out.
131
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,720
I think that's one of the reasons why they use it.
132
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,920
That's wonderful.
133
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,260
There's a scripture in Malachi about
134
00:06:14,260 --> 00:06:16,260
the son of righteousness shall arise
135
00:06:16,260 --> 00:06:17,940
with healing in his wings.
136
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:21,240
And that particular scripture is,
137
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,040
I believe it's referring to when the woman
138
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,700
with the issue of blood reached out
139
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:27,940
and touched the tzitzit,
140
00:06:27,940 --> 00:06:32,040
she didn't dare to touch his actual garments,
141
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,780
but she thought if I can just touch those threads
142
00:06:34,780 --> 00:06:36,620
that are hanging from his garment,
143
00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:38,660
surely that'll be enough.
144
00:06:38,660 --> 00:06:40,620
And she touched and she was healed.
145
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:44,200
And the word in that scripture in Malachi
146
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,560
talks about healing in his wings
147
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,260
and that word wings can be translated corners,
148
00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:51,740
which could refer to the corners of the prayer shawl.
149
00:06:51,740 --> 00:06:53,000
Of the prayer shawl, okay.
150
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,200
Four corners.
151
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,340
So we talked about the tzitzit, the tassels,
152
00:06:57,340 --> 00:06:59,940
being like these rays that he saw
153
00:06:59,940 --> 00:07:03,720
coming out of Jesus' crown on his head.
154
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,240
So as I was meditating on this,
155
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,660
after we recorded that episode with Dean,
156
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:13,920
I was reminded of a song that I wrote,
157
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,120
oh, many years ago.
158
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,620
I don't remember how many years ago.
159
00:07:16,620 --> 00:07:17,460
I'm sure it's more than-
160
00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:18,700
Back in the 1980s.
161
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:23,700
Yeah, it's 30 something, approaching 40 probably.
162
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,240
And it's not a song that we've sung a whole lot.
163
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,840
We recorded it back in the day on a cassette.
164
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,440
Back on a cassette, yeah.
165
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,980
And if you still have a cassette player,
166
00:07:34,980 --> 00:07:37,180
we might still have some of those around.
167
00:07:37,180 --> 00:07:39,320
But I don't think you'll find them on the website.
168
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,520
But if you email us and you're interested,
169
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,780
we can negotiate here and get something to you.
170
00:07:44,780 --> 00:07:48,820
But anyway, this little song is something
171
00:07:48,820 --> 00:07:51,460
that I think really fits beautifully
172
00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:55,700
with this idea of each one of us has a ray
173
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:58,300
from Jesus' head.
174
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:02,000
Like we're as directly connected to him
175
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,280
as the muscles in our body are connected
176
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,040
to the nervous system that's connected to the brain.
177
00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:10,180
There's a connection there.
178
00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:13,380
We are the body of Christ.
179
00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:17,120
And we are meant to be connected to him.
180
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,320
So we just kind of got humble
181
00:08:22,660 --> 00:08:25,660
and made a humble little recording of this song
182
00:08:25,660 --> 00:08:27,100
to play for you,
183
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,900
because we didn't know how to get it off of the cassette
184
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,460
and into this podcast.
185
00:08:32,460 --> 00:08:35,940
So we just tried it again and recorded it again.
186
00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:38,600
And so we'll play it for you right now,
187
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,440
Ray of Light.
188
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,120
["Ray of Light"]
189
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,360
Oh Lord, make me a ray of light
190
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,960
Within this darkened world
191
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,560
The image of my Jesus Christ
192
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:10,340
On whom our sins were hurled
193
00:09:10,340 --> 00:09:15,080
I want to be so lost in Thee
194
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,880
That when men see my face
195
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,620
May my only identity
196
00:09:24,620 --> 00:09:29,620
Be Thy redeeming grace
197
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:36,600
I want to bear Your love and light
198
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,300
Upon my counted hands
199
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:46,040
May Thy great glory steal the storm
200
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,780
And calm the violence
201
00:09:50,780 --> 00:09:55,520
I want to be so lost in Thee
202
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,320
That when men see my face
203
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,060
May my only identity
204
00:10:05,060 --> 00:10:10,060
Be Thy redeeming grace
205
00:10:12,340 --> 00:10:17,180
And then when I return to Thee
206
00:10:17,180 --> 00:10:21,940
And end my journey home
207
00:10:21,940 --> 00:10:26,720
I only want to be a ray
208
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,420
Of light upon Thy throne
209
00:10:31,420 --> 00:10:36,120
I want to be so lost in Thee
210
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,920
That when men see my face
211
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,700
May my only identity
212
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:50,700
Be Thy redeeming grace
213
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,040
I want to be so lost in Thee
214
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,520
That when men see my face
215
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,320
May my only identity
216
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,320
Be Thy redeeming grace
217
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:37,000
Don't you just want to be a ray of light?
218
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,080
To bring Him glory?
219
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,140
Don't you just want His glory to shine through you?
220
00:11:42,140 --> 00:11:43,580
I think that's what this is about,
221
00:11:43,580 --> 00:11:47,520
is that connection with Jesus,
222
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,920
that connection with our Father,
223
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,060
that connection with who He is.
224
00:11:52,060 --> 00:11:55,600
So Philip, would you please read to us
225
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,200
Acts chapter two, verses one through four
226
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,000
from the Passion.
227
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled,
228
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,280
all the disciples were gathered in one place.
229
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,140
Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind
230
00:12:10,140 --> 00:12:13,280
rushing into the house from out of the heavenly realm.
231
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,780
The roar of the wind was so overpowering
232
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:17,820
it was all anyone could bear.
233
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:22,420
Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes.
234
00:12:22,420 --> 00:12:24,320
It separated into tongues of fire
235
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,420
that engulfed each one of them.
236
00:12:26,420 --> 00:12:29,900
They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit
237
00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:31,840
and were inspired to speak in tongues
238
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,440
empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages
239
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,540
they never learned.
240
00:12:35,540 --> 00:12:37,540
Now this, yeah.
241
00:12:37,540 --> 00:12:41,540
I'm always reminded when we think of the day of Pentecost,
242
00:12:41,540 --> 00:12:45,000
I'm always reminded of the movie,
243
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,680
The Ten Commandments that Cecil B. DeMille made
244
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:50,840
and Charlton Heston was Moses
245
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,340
and how that pillar of fire was up there
246
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:54,520
in the mountain with him
247
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,120
and the little flames were slinging off of it
248
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,120
to be the finger of God writing in the tablets.
249
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,200
And I always see that on the day of Pentecost as well,
250
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,800
but I didn't know that the Passion Translation
251
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,540
had put this in and of course it's in italics,
252
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:12,340
it's something that is added.
253
00:13:12,340 --> 00:13:17,340
This particular translation is a dynamic translation
254
00:13:17,340 --> 00:13:19,680
that isn't word for word,
255
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:24,220
but it gives the sense of what's available
256
00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:26,220
in the various original languages
257
00:13:26,220 --> 00:13:28,480
and he uses the Aramaic quite a lot.
258
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:29,780
But there's a footnote here
259
00:13:29,780 --> 00:13:32,220
where it talks about the pillar of fire.
260
00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:34,860
And I just wanna read to you what this footnote says
261
00:13:34,860 --> 00:13:37,060
because it goes so amazingly
262
00:13:37,060 --> 00:13:40,600
with what we are studying about these rays of light.
263
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,140
So it says, this was the pillar of fire
264
00:13:43,140 --> 00:13:47,400
that led Israel from bondage into the promised land.
265
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,380
The same pillar of fire manifested here
266
00:13:50,380 --> 00:13:54,880
to initiate a new beginning from dead religious structures
267
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,280
into the powerful life of the spirit.
268
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,120
Amen.
269
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,120
Each believer received an overpowering flame of fire
270
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,120
signified by the shaft of light that engulfed them.
271
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,300
Isn't that amazing?
272
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:11,400
A shaft of light.
273
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,240
Shelf of light.
274
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,760
And it's referring to the Holy Spirit, right?
275
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:15,600
Yeah.
276
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,640
It was as though each one received
277
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,200
his own personal pillar of fire
278
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,140
that would empower him and lead him throughout his life.
279
00:14:24,140 --> 00:14:27,040
This was the promise Jesus gave to his disciples
280
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,020
of the one like me.
281
00:14:30,020 --> 00:14:31,380
That's beautiful.
282
00:14:31,380 --> 00:14:33,980
Who would be sent by the father and never leave them.
283
00:14:33,980 --> 00:14:39,000
Well, let's just go over here and look at that scripture.
284
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,500
John 14, 12 to 17, in that passion,
285
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:45,700
I tell you this timeless truth.
286
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:49,100
The person who follows me in faith, believing in me,
287
00:14:49,100 --> 00:14:51,800
will do the same mighty miracles that I do,
288
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,400
even greater miracles than these,
289
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,080
because I go to be with my father.
290
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,440
For I will do whatever you ask me to do
291
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,640
when you ask me in my name.
292
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,780
And that is how the son will show what the father
293
00:15:02,780 --> 00:15:05,380
is really like and bring glory to him.
294
00:15:05,380 --> 00:15:08,920
Ask me anything in my name and I will do it for you.
295
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,820
Loving me empowers you to obey my commands.
296
00:15:11,820 --> 00:15:12,660
Oh, that's beautiful.
297
00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:13,800
Yeah.
298
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,960
And I will ask the father and he will give you another savior.
299
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,000
Now that's interesting.
300
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,240
That's an interesting way to translate that.
301
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,800
And he's got a great footnote in there.
302
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,540
And you can go and find it for yourself.
303
00:15:26,540 --> 00:15:29,100
If you don't have a passion translation,
304
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:30,680
you can get the app.
305
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,780
The Life Bible app has the whole passion translation
306
00:15:33,780 --> 00:15:36,120
and you can see the footnotes, but we're not going there.
307
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,560
But other translations say they use the word advocate
308
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,180
or comforter or encourager, helper, intercessor, counselor,
309
00:15:44,180 --> 00:15:45,560
talking about the Holy Spirit.
310
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Yeah.
311
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,220
So go ahead, sorry.
312
00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:49,660
Sorry to interrupt you, but I thought I'd throw that in.
313
00:15:49,660 --> 00:15:51,560
Okay, he will give you another savior,
314
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,360
the Holy Spirit of truth, who will be to you a friend,
315
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,480
just like me, and he will never leave you.
316
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,340
The world won't receive him because they can't see him
317
00:16:01,340 --> 00:16:04,080
or know him, but you know him intimately
318
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,620
because he remains with you and will live inside you.
319
00:16:08,620 --> 00:16:10,180
Amen.
320
00:16:10,180 --> 00:16:11,020
Yes.
321
00:16:11,020 --> 00:16:14,660
And he's living inside of us in order to help us.
322
00:16:14,660 --> 00:16:17,620
He's a helper to connect us with our father,
323
00:16:17,620 --> 00:16:19,620
to connect us with Jesus.
324
00:16:19,620 --> 00:16:23,960
And our father is a healer, he always was a healer.
325
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,960
And he designed healing into us even before,
326
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,180
I'm sure he had to have designed it
327
00:16:32,180 --> 00:16:34,780
even before Adam and Eve fell
328
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:37,340
because we have healing just working in us.
329
00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:39,820
Well, the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
330
00:16:39,820 --> 00:16:40,640
Exactly.
331
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,120
So Adam and Eve weren't there yet.
332
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,660
That's right, that's right.
333
00:16:43,660 --> 00:16:47,580
So healing is a part of the atonement package.
334
00:16:47,580 --> 00:16:49,700
When Jesus died for us to be our savior,
335
00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:52,420
he also died and took that horrible beating
336
00:16:52,420 --> 00:16:53,860
to be our healer.
337
00:16:53,860 --> 00:16:58,860
But he did that because he is one with the father.
338
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:04,220
He is, do I dare say it, he is Jehovah himself.
339
00:17:04,220 --> 00:17:06,820
He came to the earth in the person of his son.
340
00:17:06,820 --> 00:17:10,100
They are so one, we don't get it how one they are.
341
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:12,140
It's totally out of our paradigm.
342
00:17:12,140 --> 00:17:14,700
The only way we will understand the Trinity
343
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,100
is when we're with them.
344
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:17,300
Exactly.
345
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:18,420
In eternity.
346
00:17:18,420 --> 00:17:19,840
Yes, I'm sure that's true.
347
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,900
And we will continue to make discoveries for all eternity.
348
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:25,780
That's one of the things that Dean says.
349
00:17:25,780 --> 00:17:30,300
As soon as you grasp how amazing our father is
350
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:33,260
or Jesus, either one, then he says,
351
00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:34,340
where's the Holy Spirit?
352
00:17:34,340 --> 00:17:36,500
Well, the Holy Spirit is inside of you.
353
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:39,460
So that's why he didn't really see the Holy Spirit in heaven.
354
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:41,940
But he said, he said, as soon as you recognize
355
00:17:41,940 --> 00:17:46,820
how wonderful and great and glorious and beautiful God is,
356
00:17:46,820 --> 00:17:49,340
by the time you've figured that out in your head,
357
00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:52,180
he's greater and more glorious and more beautiful.
358
00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:55,480
So this is gonna continue for all of eternity.
359
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,740
But he is a healer and Exodus 15, 26 says,
360
00:17:59,740 --> 00:18:02,220
if you will diligently hearken to the voice
361
00:18:02,220 --> 00:18:06,180
of Jehovah your God, and will do that which is right
362
00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:08,640
in his sight and will give ear to his commandments
363
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,840
and keep all his statues, I will put none of these diseases
364
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,340
upon you, which I've brought upon the Egyptians,
365
00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:18,940
for I am Jehovah that heals you.
366
00:18:18,940 --> 00:18:22,620
So right from the get go, when he is making covenant
367
00:18:22,620 --> 00:18:26,020
with his children, with his people, Israel,
368
00:18:26,020 --> 00:18:28,860
he's making covenant with them to show us
369
00:18:28,860 --> 00:18:32,900
how it's supposed to be in our covenant with him,
370
00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:36,620
he's making himself known as the one who heals.
371
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:39,380
And that's what Jesus came to operate in.
372
00:18:39,380 --> 00:18:42,380
But let's just look at a few more Old Testament scriptures.
373
00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:46,900
Psalm 103 says, who forgives all your iniquities,
374
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,300
who heals all your diseases, that's our Father.
375
00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:52,460
Yeah, and then in Psalm 107 verse 20,
376
00:18:52,460 --> 00:18:55,220
he sent his word and healed them and delivered them
377
00:18:55,220 --> 00:18:56,540
from their destructions.
378
00:18:56,540 --> 00:18:59,940
So he is our healer and our deliverer.
379
00:18:59,940 --> 00:19:02,060
He is our salvation.
380
00:19:02,060 --> 00:19:05,020
Psalm 147, three says he heals the broken in heart
381
00:19:05,020 --> 00:19:06,420
and binds up their wounds.
382
00:19:06,420 --> 00:19:09,820
And when we take communion, all of that is in one cup,
383
00:19:09,820 --> 00:19:12,660
salvation, healing, restoration,
384
00:19:12,660 --> 00:19:15,260
it's all in the communion elements.
385
00:19:15,260 --> 00:19:16,100
Amen, amen.
386
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:17,140
It's all by faith.
387
00:19:17,140 --> 00:19:21,660
Right, and so he bore our griefs and carried our sorrows.
388
00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:25,220
So the broken in heart can look to him
389
00:19:25,220 --> 00:19:28,380
as our healer of broken hearts.
390
00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:31,540
When we first got the revelation
391
00:19:31,540 --> 00:19:34,700
that we could receive him as savior,
392
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:37,620
we received him as savior.
393
00:19:37,620 --> 00:19:38,460
Yes.
394
00:19:38,460 --> 00:19:40,020
We took him in.
395
00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:45,020
And when we realize that he is every bit healer
396
00:19:45,420 --> 00:19:50,420
as much as he is savior, I mean, when he walked on the earth,
397
00:19:50,660 --> 00:19:52,700
that's what he was known for, was healing.
398
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:53,860
Healing, yeah.
399
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:55,700
And what scripture did we just read?
400
00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:58,980
He said, because I'm going to the Father,
401
00:19:58,980 --> 00:20:03,700
you will do these miracles that I'm doing and greater works.
402
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:06,580
So we need to see him and receive him
403
00:20:06,580 --> 00:20:08,940
and accept him as our healer.
404
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:12,420
We need to receive him and accept him as our deliverer,
405
00:20:12,420 --> 00:20:15,500
as the one who heals our broken hearts
406
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:17,860
and delivers us from our destruction.
407
00:20:17,860 --> 00:20:20,820
So I mean, the things that we get ourselves into,
408
00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:21,940
ay, ay, ay.
409
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:24,580
But he's our deliverer.
410
00:20:24,580 --> 00:20:27,780
We just cry out to him, oh God help.
411
00:20:27,780 --> 00:20:30,260
And he does, he shows up and helps.
412
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:33,780
He's just waiting for us to reach out to him.
413
00:20:33,780 --> 00:20:38,780
So he wants to use us in the same way that he used Jesus.
414
00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:41,940
So I want to go back and look at an Old Testament
415
00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:46,420
illustration of how he uses people for healing
416
00:20:46,420 --> 00:20:49,500
and even not only just healing bodies,
417
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:53,660
but even healing the land, even healing the waters.
418
00:20:53,660 --> 00:20:56,940
If you look at 2 Kings chapter two,
419
00:20:56,940 --> 00:21:00,220
this is where Elijah is taken up into heaven
420
00:21:00,220 --> 00:21:03,860
and Elijah goes across the river Jordan with him
421
00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:07,780
on dry land and he used his mantle.
422
00:21:07,780 --> 00:21:10,260
Now we're back to the prayer shawl again.
423
00:21:10,260 --> 00:21:14,580
So he used his mantle to smack the waters
424
00:21:14,580 --> 00:21:15,860
and the waters rolled back
425
00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:18,260
and they walked across on dry land.
426
00:21:18,260 --> 00:21:20,980
And while they're walking, Elijah's asking,
427
00:21:20,980 --> 00:21:22,340
Elijah, what do you want?
428
00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:25,300
Elijah says, I want a double portion of your spirit.
429
00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:28,500
Yeah, what Bible school did Elijah go to?
430
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:30,420
He went to the school of the prophets.
431
00:21:30,420 --> 00:21:31,820
School of the prophets, yeah.
432
00:21:31,820 --> 00:21:35,020
But he was mentored personally by Elijah.
433
00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:37,980
And school of the prophets was started by Samuel.
434
00:21:37,980 --> 00:21:39,300
Yes, that's true.
435
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:42,580
And Elijah was going from one school to the next
436
00:21:42,580 --> 00:21:45,340
in all those different cities in that chapter.
437
00:21:45,340 --> 00:21:49,340
So we get to where the mantle is dropped.
438
00:21:49,340 --> 00:21:51,820
Would that be schools of the prophets?
439
00:21:51,820 --> 00:21:52,660
Yes.
440
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:53,500
There was more than one.
441
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:56,380
Yes, because first he said, stay in Gilgal.
442
00:21:56,380 --> 00:21:59,500
Because I think there was a school there.
443
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:01,340
And then they'd stay in Bethel.
444
00:22:01,340 --> 00:22:03,220
And he says, no, I'm going with you.
445
00:22:03,220 --> 00:22:05,260
And then they get to Jericho.
446
00:22:05,260 --> 00:22:07,980
And he says, just stay here in Jericho.
447
00:22:07,980 --> 00:22:08,820
I'm gonna go on.
448
00:22:08,820 --> 00:22:11,500
And he says, no, I'm going with you.
449
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:13,220
Stick with you like glue.
450
00:22:13,220 --> 00:22:15,260
Exactly.
451
00:22:15,260 --> 00:22:18,220
So Elijah goes up in the fiery chariot
452
00:22:18,220 --> 00:22:21,900
and drops the mantle on Elisha.
453
00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:25,140
So Elisha picks up the mantle, okay?
454
00:22:25,140 --> 00:22:26,940
Remember, it's got the tzitzit.
455
00:22:26,940 --> 00:22:28,580
It's got those corners.
456
00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:31,900
It's got those strings
457
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:35,540
that are representative of healing.
458
00:22:35,540 --> 00:22:38,980
So the first miracle he does is going to the water.
459
00:22:38,980 --> 00:22:39,980
Exactly.
460
00:22:39,980 --> 00:22:42,220
Where is the Lord God of Elijah?
461
00:22:42,220 --> 00:22:44,020
Oh yes, that's right.
462
00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:46,820
So he smites the, and everybody's looking.
463
00:22:46,820 --> 00:22:49,980
Because all the prophets, they were saying,
464
00:22:49,980 --> 00:22:51,780
says your master is gonna be taken away.
465
00:22:51,780 --> 00:22:52,980
It's just like they knew it.
466
00:22:52,980 --> 00:22:57,380
They knew in the spirit that something was going to happen.
467
00:22:57,380 --> 00:22:58,820
And it did.
468
00:22:58,820 --> 00:23:01,700
And so when he smacked the water with that mantle
469
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:05,140
and it parted the waters, just like it did for Elijah.
470
00:23:05,140 --> 00:23:06,060
Exactly.
471
00:23:06,060 --> 00:23:07,540
Oh wow.
472
00:23:07,540 --> 00:23:10,100
Yeah, he was carrying the mantle.
473
00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:12,220
So then he gets back to Jericho
474
00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:14,980
and they're fussing at him saying,
475
00:23:14,980 --> 00:23:16,700
well, maybe we should just go look.
476
00:23:16,700 --> 00:23:18,500
And he says, no, he's gone.
477
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:19,340
He's gone up.
478
00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:21,300
And so finally he says-
479
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:23,260
Some of them did, yeah, go ahead and look.
480
00:23:23,260 --> 00:23:24,380
Yeah, go ahead and look.
481
00:23:24,380 --> 00:23:26,540
So they go looking for three days.
482
00:23:26,540 --> 00:23:27,540
And they didn't find him.
483
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:31,780
And then, you know, Elijah says, didn't I say, don't go?
484
00:23:31,780 --> 00:23:36,780
And then the men of the city of Jericho come to Elijah
485
00:23:37,660 --> 00:23:41,180
and they say, look, this is a beautiful location
486
00:23:41,180 --> 00:23:42,460
for this city.
487
00:23:42,460 --> 00:23:43,860
And it is, we've been to Jericho.
488
00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:44,700
Yeah, we've been to Jericho.
489
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:47,060
It's the city of Palm trees, right?
490
00:23:47,060 --> 00:23:48,820
We've had coffee there.
491
00:23:48,820 --> 00:23:49,660
A number of times.
492
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:51,820
A number of times, for the whole tour group.
493
00:23:51,820 --> 00:23:52,700
Right.
494
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:55,860
So the point is here that these people,
495
00:23:55,860 --> 00:23:57,540
the elders of the city, I suppose,
496
00:23:57,540 --> 00:23:59,180
the men of the city, it says,
497
00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:02,740
they come to him and they say, this is a beautiful place,
498
00:24:02,740 --> 00:24:04,260
but we have a problem.
499
00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:07,380
The ground is barren and the water is nothing.
500
00:24:07,380 --> 00:24:08,420
And so-
501
00:24:08,420 --> 00:24:11,060
Did you think the water was always that way?
502
00:24:11,060 --> 00:24:11,900
I don't know.
503
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:14,660
It might've come because God shut down the city
504
00:24:14,660 --> 00:24:16,100
under Joshua.
505
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:17,740
Didn't Joshua curse the city?
506
00:24:17,740 --> 00:24:18,580
He did.
507
00:24:18,580 --> 00:24:19,820
He did, he cursed the city.
508
00:24:19,820 --> 00:24:20,660
If he cursed the city,
509
00:24:20,660 --> 00:24:22,940
maybe the water source got cursed too.
510
00:24:22,940 --> 00:24:24,500
It is possible.
511
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:27,060
Why would you build a city next to a stream
512
00:24:27,060 --> 00:24:28,620
that has lousy water?
513
00:24:28,620 --> 00:24:29,460
Right.
514
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:31,060
I don't know.
515
00:24:31,060 --> 00:24:33,180
Because there isn't any streams we know in Jericho.
516
00:24:33,180 --> 00:24:37,260
Yeah, but Jericho was there when Joshua got there
517
00:24:37,260 --> 00:24:39,940
and presumably the water was okay then.
518
00:24:39,940 --> 00:24:42,580
So it does make sense that that could be.
519
00:24:42,580 --> 00:24:45,540
So anyway, Elisha asks for,
520
00:24:45,540 --> 00:24:47,580
bring me a vessel with salt.
521
00:24:47,580 --> 00:24:49,380
And he dumps it in.
522
00:24:49,380 --> 00:24:51,140
And here's what he says.
523
00:24:51,140 --> 00:24:56,140
Thus says Jehovah, I have healed these waters
524
00:24:56,460 --> 00:25:00,300
and there shall not be from there any more death
525
00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:01,940
or barren land.
526
00:25:01,940 --> 00:25:03,140
So the waters were healed
527
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:04,700
and the waters are still good there.
528
00:25:04,700 --> 00:25:06,180
Yeah, we've drank from them.
529
00:25:06,180 --> 00:25:07,420
Yeah, we've been to that spring.
530
00:25:07,420 --> 00:25:08,260
Yeah.
531
00:25:08,260 --> 00:25:09,140
And it's still good.
532
00:25:09,140 --> 00:25:11,820
All these many, many, many, many years later,
533
00:25:11,820 --> 00:25:13,020
millennia later.
534
00:25:13,020 --> 00:25:13,860
Yeah.
535
00:25:13,860 --> 00:25:16,380
And it's just amazing.
536
00:25:16,380 --> 00:25:18,740
But here's what I'm trying to get to.
537
00:25:18,740 --> 00:25:22,900
God says, I healed the water, right?
538
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:26,820
Thus says the Lord, I have healed these waters.
539
00:25:26,820 --> 00:25:30,060
So Elisha is just the vessel used.
540
00:25:30,060 --> 00:25:31,060
Exactly.
541
00:25:31,060 --> 00:25:34,820
Elisha is co-operating with God.
542
00:25:34,820 --> 00:25:36,460
They're operating together.
543
00:25:36,460 --> 00:25:37,300
Yes.
544
00:25:37,300 --> 00:25:41,900
And that's what God wants to do through you, listener.
545
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:45,460
He wants to heal you of everything that you need healing of.
546
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:48,700
And he wants to use you to bring healing to others
547
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:52,420
because you have that ray that's a healing ray
548
00:25:52,420 --> 00:25:54,180
that comes from our heavenly father.
549
00:25:54,180 --> 00:25:55,380
It comes from Jesus.
550
00:25:55,380 --> 00:25:58,740
It comes to you, specifically to you.
551
00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:02,180
You have your very own light beam.
552
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:07,260
So it's really in this intimate relationship
553
00:26:07,260 --> 00:26:10,860
that we develop as we walk with the Lord.
554
00:26:10,860 --> 00:26:14,060
And I love what it says in John 17, three.
555
00:26:14,060 --> 00:26:17,780
This is in Jesus' prayer at the end of the upper room discourse,
556
00:26:17,780 --> 00:26:18,620
as they call it.
557
00:26:18,620 --> 00:26:21,820
It's the chat that Jesus had with his disciples
558
00:26:21,820 --> 00:26:24,380
after he had the last supper with them
559
00:26:24,380 --> 00:26:26,620
and instituted the Holy Communion.
560
00:26:26,620 --> 00:26:31,620
And Judas had gone out to prepare to betray him.
561
00:26:31,620 --> 00:26:33,540
So he's praying to the father.
562
00:26:33,540 --> 00:26:37,940
He says, this is life eternal, that they may know you,
563
00:26:37,940 --> 00:26:42,940
the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
564
00:26:42,940 --> 00:26:47,860
So really this whole thing of co-operating with him
565
00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:51,420
has to do with our intimate relationship with him.
566
00:26:51,420 --> 00:26:55,140
And that's not something that you can have a shortcut on.
567
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:57,700
It takes time.
568
00:26:57,700 --> 00:27:00,740
It takes giving your attention to him.
569
00:27:00,740 --> 00:27:04,260
It takes cutting yourself away from the distractions.
570
00:27:04,260 --> 00:27:09,100
And it takes consecration, because he's knowable.
571
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:10,900
He wants you to know him.
572
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:12,300
He knows you.
573
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:13,660
He knows everything about you.
574
00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:16,100
He knows every thought, he knows every word,
575
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:19,020
he knows every action, all of that's being recorded.
576
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:21,140
But he wants you to know him.
577
00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:23,900
He wants you to know his thoughts.
578
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:25,820
He wants you to know his words.
579
00:27:25,820 --> 00:27:27,580
He wants you to know his actions.
580
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:29,820
He wants you to know his ways.
581
00:27:29,820 --> 00:27:32,140
His ways are higher than our ways.
582
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:34,340
And his thoughts are higher than our thoughts,
583
00:27:34,340 --> 00:27:38,260
but he wants us to start getting connected with him
584
00:27:38,260 --> 00:27:41,340
in a greater way every single day.
585
00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:44,580
But the thing that came to me as we were preparing for this
586
00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:48,380
and meditating on this is the word consecrate.
587
00:27:48,380 --> 00:27:51,020
And it means to make holy.
588
00:27:51,020 --> 00:27:54,420
I looked it up in my etymology app.
589
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,860
It's called ethymonline.com.
590
00:27:58,860 --> 00:28:01,520
And it's talking about the word consecrate.
591
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,560
It means to make holy.
592
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,100
It says from assimilated form of com,
593
00:28:07,100 --> 00:28:09,820
with, meaning with or together.
594
00:28:09,820 --> 00:28:14,820
Okay, so consecrate, the con part means with or together.
595
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:19,300
And the word sacrare, to make or declare sacred.
596
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:20,620
And then it says see sacred.
597
00:28:20,620 --> 00:28:22,660
So here's what sacred says.
598
00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:25,020
It means hallowed, consecrated.
599
00:28:25,020 --> 00:28:30,020
Now get this, made holy by association with divinity
600
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,100
or divine things.
601
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:33,980
Or by religious ceremony or sanction.
602
00:28:33,980 --> 00:28:38,900
So the point is, you get consecrated
603
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:41,700
by getting with Him.
604
00:28:41,700 --> 00:28:43,860
It sets you aside.
605
00:28:43,860 --> 00:28:48,180
It makes you holy when you get connected to Him.
606
00:28:48,180 --> 00:28:51,420
And this ray of light that is given for you,
607
00:28:51,420 --> 00:28:56,420
this Holy Spirit bright light ray is given to you
608
00:28:56,820 --> 00:28:58,760
to make you one with Him.
609
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,100
And the Lord gave me another song.
610
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:05,360
This is unusual for us to bring music into our podcasts,
611
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,220
but we are musicians and we've written songs.
612
00:29:08,220 --> 00:29:10,340
And this one is not quite so old.
613
00:29:10,340 --> 00:29:12,340
It's the first one that we did.
614
00:29:12,340 --> 00:29:16,340
But this one is, I Am Yours, completely yours.
615
00:29:16,340 --> 00:29:18,660
It's a song that just came to you in the Spirit.
616
00:29:18,660 --> 00:29:20,460
Yeah, it just came to me in the Spirit.
617
00:29:20,460 --> 00:29:23,340
It just downloaded and we haven't sung it a whole lot
618
00:29:23,340 --> 00:29:24,720
and we've never recorded it before.
619
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,120
So you're the first ones who get to hear the recording.
620
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,140
Well, you probably could find it maybe
621
00:29:29,140 --> 00:29:33,060
on one of our recordings of a Friday night live worship
622
00:29:33,060 --> 00:29:35,460
or something in one of our conventions, but.
623
00:29:35,460 --> 00:29:36,380
We wouldn't know where to look.
624
00:29:36,380 --> 00:29:38,300
We wouldn't know where to look to find it.
625
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:43,300
So here it is for you to draw you into a deeper consecration.
626
00:29:44,940 --> 00:29:49,260
Just listen to this song and maybe even sing along
627
00:29:49,260 --> 00:29:51,940
as you get it and then we'll pray.
628
00:29:51,940 --> 00:29:54,620
["I Am Yours"]
629
00:29:54,620 --> 00:29:59,620
["I Am Yours"]
630
00:30:24,620 --> 00:30:29,620
["I Am Yours"]
631
00:30:54,620 --> 00:31:00,620
["I Am Yours"]
632
00:31:24,620 --> 00:31:30,620
["I Am Yours"]
633
00:31:54,620 --> 00:32:00,620
["I Am Yours"]
634
00:32:25,620 --> 00:32:28,820
You gave your life for me, Jesus.
635
00:32:28,820 --> 00:32:30,980
I give my life to you.
636
00:32:30,980 --> 00:32:33,440
I am yours and you are mine.
637
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,620
Just like the book of Song of Solomon says,
638
00:32:36,620 --> 00:32:39,640
I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine.
639
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,460
You are ours and we are yours.
640
00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:44,260
We belong to you.
641
00:32:44,260 --> 00:32:47,360
We are a part of your body.
642
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,820
We've been connected to you.
643
00:32:48,820 --> 00:32:51,060
Thank you, Jesus, for connecting us.
644
00:32:51,060 --> 00:32:54,320
Thank you for connecting us as believers.
645
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,140
Thank you for saving us.
646
00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:58,220
Thank you for being our healer
647
00:32:58,220 --> 00:33:00,340
and thank you for working through us
648
00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:05,140
to do the miracles that you did and greater works, Lord.
649
00:33:05,140 --> 00:33:09,140
As we consecrate ourselves new and fresh today,
650
00:33:09,140 --> 00:33:11,060
Lord, we're asking you to minister
651
00:33:11,060 --> 00:33:14,260
to every single listener all over the world
652
00:33:14,260 --> 00:33:17,620
and bring them into a deeper walk with you,
653
00:33:17,620 --> 00:33:22,540
a deeper communion with you, a deeper relationship,
654
00:33:22,540 --> 00:33:27,540
more intimate, more knowing you and releasing themselves.
655
00:33:28,260 --> 00:33:30,120
We release each one of us, Lord.
656
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,380
I release myself to you in a new, fresh way.
657
00:33:33,380 --> 00:33:36,520
Lord, I give you my spirit, soul and body, Lord,
658
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,500
so that you can do everything that you want to do
659
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:43,260
through me, through us, through each of us,
660
00:33:43,260 --> 00:33:47,020
your body, in Jesus' name, amen.
661
00:33:47,020 --> 00:33:47,860
Amen.
