(210) “We Don’t Celebrate Jesus Enough” with Dean Braxton

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,260
This should be a celebration time when we're taking the communion.

2
00:00:04,260 --> 00:00:07,360
And maybe that's what we're supposed to be sharing this time,

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,980
and encouraging people out there that are listening to this,

4
00:00:10,980 --> 00:00:14,280
to look at your communion time as a celebration.

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,320
Yes, we do it in remembrance.

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,680
Don't get me wrong, but celebrate what you're remembering.

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,120
You're remembering that Jesus Christ died on the cross to set you free.

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,060
Yes.

9
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:28,860
It's a shouting time. It's a glorious time.

10
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:31,560
You know, it's not to play the funeral music.

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,200
You understand what I'm talking about?

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,660
Yes.

13
00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:37,440
It's to play the celebration music.

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,980
God promises in Joel 2, 28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity.

15
00:00:50,980 --> 00:00:52,880
Welcome to global outpouring.

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,680
Will we contend for that promised outpouring?

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,060
We equipped for that outpouring so that we may engage in that very outpouring.

18
00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:02,320
I'm Philip Bus.

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,360
And I'm Sharon Bus. Welcome to the podcast today.

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,100
We're so glad that you're with us for this very special podcast

21
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:11,600
with our dear friend, Dean Braxton.

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,400
He's just an amazing man of God who loves God with all of his heart.

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,940
And he went to heaven for an hour and 45 minutes when his body died.

24
00:01:20,940 --> 00:01:22,540
He left his body and it died.

25
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:26,780
And he is going to share with us something that Jesus told him

26
00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:29,720
that is dear to Jesus' heart.

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,760
He said that on this planet, we don't celebrate him enough.

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,560
Thanks so much for joining us today.

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,720

46
00:02:36,380 --> 00:02:41,460
Well, our brother, Dean Braxton, it is such a delight to be together with you again.

47
00:02:41,460 --> 00:02:46,020
We just always so, so, so enjoy being together with you

48
00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:50,760
and hearing the things that the Lord has showed you in your visit to heaven

49
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,660
for an hour and 45 minutes when you left your body and it died.

50
00:02:55,660 --> 00:02:58,260
And here you are back.

51
00:02:58,260 --> 00:03:03,640
And the Lord told you to go back and he kind of gave you that name, Go Back.

52
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:04,580
I love that.

53
00:03:04,580 --> 00:03:09,780
We've had so many podcasts with you and we'll put some links to them in the show notes.

54
00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:12,840
But we just want to welcome you once again.

55
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,560
And we're excited to see and hear what God has to open up to us today.

56
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,760
Well, I'm glad to be with you also, both you and Phil.

57
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:26,320
To be able to share some things again, it's kind of exploratory on how we're sharing

58
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,960
because I'm sharing some things that I experienced with the father of Jesus in heaven

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,860
and just praying that those things will connect with some of you

60
00:03:32,860 --> 00:03:37,540
and you'll bring us some more things around the Hebrew or the Jewish people

61
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:40,640
and how they look at things, especially during this time, you know,

62
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,080
when we're recording right now, you know, I did a Seda last Sunday.

63
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,080
Oh, yeah.

64
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,980
Yeah, with Pastor Young out there in Illinois.

65
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:54,320
And it was really cool, you know, and I always like it because of the details

66
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,400
that are brought out of what things mean and why we're doing them.

67
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,640
And then after you think about the Last Supper with Jesus and how important that really was,

68
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,760
you guys probably have even more detailed on that than I do.

69
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,320
I can tell you that I just remember one of the things Jesus said to me when I was there,

70
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,880
and I've told you this before, that we don't celebrate Him enough on the planet.

71
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,880
You know what I mean?

72
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,600
And I could see that, you know, with the Jewish customs,

73
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,800
they had celebrations for a whole lot when it came to God.

74
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040
And those things have gotten lost over the years, you know,

75
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:33,960
and some of them became very traditional and probably very religious in their celebration.

76
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,720
But, you know, Jesus literally said to me that we don't celebrate Him enough on the planet.

77
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,360
What came to my mind later on was when I was laid in the hospital room,

78
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,360
we celebrate Him for Easter and then we celebrate Him for Christmas.

79
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,040
You know, those two times of the year, those are getting attacked like anything, you know,

80
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,200
and not just in the United States, but around the world.

81
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,840
I always called Easter the biggest harvest day that we could have in the United States.

82
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:06,920
Because a lot of people go to church, you understand what I mean?

83
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,120
On Easter, they don't go to church any other time of the year.

84
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,120
It's true.

85
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,520
But the secular world is making the Easter bunny more important than Christ dying on the cross, you know.

86
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,520
Yeah.

87
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,440
But in saying that to you, I just, you know, I'm really enjoying doing this

88
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,360
because we're bringing out things that are connecting with that around there, with this earth,

89
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,520
through some of the things that you guys know about the Jewish people and the traditions that have taken place.

90
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,920
I don't know them all.

91
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,920
I don't either.

92
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,920
I know a few of them.

93
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,920
You know more than I know.

94
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,240
Well, you know, I just want to make that clear that what we know we'll share,

95
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,760
but there's so much more that we don't know.

96
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:54,400
And we're not trying to be know-it-alls, but it's amazing to me how we do have a connection

97
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,640
that the Lord will give downloads to answer some of these things.

98
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,000
Yeah, that's good.

99
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,920
Can I just throw in a thought already?

100
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:10,520
The actual celebration of Passover in the scriptures, in the Greek, in the New Testament,

101
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,360
the word where it says Easter is really the word for Passover.

102
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,760
Pesach, okay?

103
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:23,840
But it's interesting to me, and I learned this not so very, very long ago,

104
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:29,600
but I was always bothered by the name Esther because it connects with Ishtar,

105
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,320
which was, you know, it's one of those Babylonian gods.

106
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,000
And that's where we get the word Easter as well.

107
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:44,720
But what I learned is that in Hebrew, the name Esther means hidden.

108
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:55,840
So if the name Esther means hidden, then Easter probably also could be pulled out of Hebrew.

109
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:58,840
You could say that here is a hidden message,

110
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:03,880
and here is a day that has been hidden from a lot of people.

111
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,240
The message has been hidden, but it's a place.

112
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,640
It's the place.

113
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:17,120
It is the place because nobody else in any other, I'll use the word religion,

114
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,160
not because I think Christianity is a religion,

115
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:26,000
but there's no other religion that has their hero that was raised from the dead.

116
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Yes.

117
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,040
And that's the whole message of, I don't even like to call it Easter.

118
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,680
I call it Resurrection Day.

119
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,040
Yeah, that's what we call it.

120
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,720
But, you know, the fact that, and this just came to me while you were talking about it,

121
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,280
it could mean hidden as well.

122
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,080
There's a hidden message here.

123
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,720
Well, what do people do on Easter?

124
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,880
They color eggs and they hide them.

125
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,680
Well, that's true.

126
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,440
The kids, you know, go find them.

127
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,520
I don't know if there's any.

128
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,040
Well, you're talking about hiding, you know.

129
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,680
Yeah, it's true.

130
00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:00,880
And part of the Seder is that the breaking of the matzah and putting that one,

131
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,760
hiding that one away.

132
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,320
They hide it away and they hide it from the children and the children go find it.

133
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,960
And whoever's the one that finds it gets some kind of reward.

134
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,160
So hiding eggs, maybe that's just Satan's counterfeit.

135
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:12,880
It's a counterfeit.

136
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:13,400
It's a counterfeit.

137
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,560
It's an absolute counterfeit.

138
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:20,320
But, you know, there's something to be discovered here that's been hidden.

139
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:28,840
And our Father wants us to understand that he has hidden treasures for us to find.

140
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:29,520
Yeah.

141
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,080
They're not hidden from us.

142
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,120
They're hidden for us to find.

143
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,120
Yes.

144
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,760
And I also, when we talk about that, sometimes I always think people don't realize it's for

145
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,760
when you're ready to find it, too.

146
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,840
You know, I think you search for those things and you search for those things.

147
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,200
And you and I both know the journey is just as important as finding the gifts.

148
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,600
Oh, yes.

149
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,360
And to me, the journey is so much fun because it develops you along the way.

150
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:02,440
You know, there's certain things that I think we all have to mature in, whether we realize it or not.

151
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,080
And most of the time, we think we're already there.

152
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,240
And then we find out we have to go through something.

153
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:14,680
And that helps us to be more refined, you know, because of that fire to become everything that God wants us to become.

154
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:18,520
So there's a lot there in the sense of what you're talking about and hidden.

155
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:25,880
And, you know, I go back to what I said earlier, where Jesus said, you know, we don't celebrate him enough on the planet.

156
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,200
You know, we had Earth Day just recently.

157
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,960
It's ironic that they're around this time of the year also.

158
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:39,720
You know, where we're celebrating Earth and we're talking about this about Earth and that about Earth and, you know, trying to save planet Earth and everything like that.

159
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,720
We know that planet Earth is going to be renewed through fire.

160
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,240
Yes.

161
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,280
You know what I hear about.

162
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440
All the bad stuff gets burnt up.

163
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,000
All the bad stuff gets burnt up, you know.

164
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,080
And so we know that that's going to happen, but it's ironic.

165
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:10,280
And I really believe, like I said on one of the shows, I really believe God is the ultimate greenie there was because he even told the Jewish people how to, what do you say, farm.

166
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:17,160
You know, so many days you did this and then you quit after, I think it is, seven years, you quit for a while.

167
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,560
And then there's the 50 year, what we call the year of Jewelry.

168
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:27,280
And that's, you know, and all that is to really to give the Earth a break. You know what I mean?

169
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,080
It was really to give the Earth a break.

170
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,840
And why would God do that?

171
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,280
You know, why would God have that in place?

172
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:40,880
Knowing probably that because of sin entering into this world and this planet being destroyed like it is.

173
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,840
And I know we, you know, some of us say because of the cars, some of us say because of this or that.

174
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,960
But the reality is sin that's ultimately destroying the planet, you know, because it's deteriorating.

175
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,680
It was never meant to deteriorate.

176
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:59,960
Most people don't realize that, you know, when God created the planet, he created the planet to live forever.

177
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:05,240
And then Adam messed up and brought into that deterioration or sin into the world and everything got affected.

178
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,320
All creation got impacted by it.

179
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:15,680
But in saying that to you, I go back to thinking that even on the planet, you know, if we read in Romans where it talks about how God had

180
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:20,840
revealed himself through the things that we call, quote unquote, nature, you know,

181
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,800
and that man took those things and started worshiping them instead of worshiping him.

182
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:26,640
Right.

183
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:32,600
You know, trying to think this tree is something that we need to bow down to.

184
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:38,320
And yet Jesus was telling me that even there, we don't celebrate him enough on the planet.

185
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,480
Right.

186
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,920
We just, and I don't mean sometimes individuals may celebrate him,

187
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:49,880
but as a whole, there's very few times we come together to really celebrate God.

188
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,800
Maybe a church may do it here and there.

189
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:57,600
When I did the Amish in Indiana, I didn't know this, but they celebrate Ascension Day,

190
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,320
the day that Jesus rose from the earth going up to heaven.

191
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,160
That's a holiday for them.

192
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,840
And then we were in, I think it was Finland or Sweden, I forget which country.

193
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,840
And they actually have that day as a holiday, you know, in those countries.

194
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,680
And so I forget if it was Sweden or Finland, somebody else would tell me one of the countries.

195
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:20,120
But I remember being over there and it was Ascension Day and it was a holiday over there.

196
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,840
You know, we don't do that here in the United States.

197
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:29,920
But the reality of it is Jesus wants us to celebrate him more as a group together.

198
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,840
And I think we have revivals or awakenings that take place,

199
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,800
but they seem are later fade away, you know, they go away.

200
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:45,360
And in that happening, those celebrations, we may remember them, but we don't celebrate them.

201
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,720
You know, God poured out this time at this moment.

202
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,720
It would be great if we did, if we didn't forget those.

203
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:57,760
Because I remember when the Israelites reading in the Old Testament crossed over the Jordan

204
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:03,760
and they conquered the land above the Jordan and then they were coming back.

205
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,800
Was there three tribes with the tribe of Reuben and Manasseh?

206
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,720
And another tribe, Gad, built that, remember that altar?

207
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,520
Yes.

208
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,600
And the rest of the Israelites thought that something was going wrong.

209
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,800
And they said, no, we're building this so our children remember what took place here.

210
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:22,640
Yes.

211
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,120
I don't think we do that.

212
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,000
You understand what I'm talking about?

213
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,760
That is one thing that the Jewish people are very strong about is remembering.

214
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,200
And they will celebrate the life of a person.

215
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:42,120
They'll go back to the grave a year after that person passed away.

216
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:48,640
And I think they continue to do that on that date to celebrate so that they won't forget.

217
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,560
Yeah, I had a friend that just, their son went home to be a Jesus and they were Jewish just recently.

218
00:13:53,560 --> 00:14:01,280
And within the last four weeks, and the mom, of course, had a hard time with her son leaving the planet.

219
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:07,240
And she texted me on that day and asked me to pray for her as they were celebrating the son leaving.

220
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,240
What did they, she called it a certain name.

221
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:16,280
I forget the name that she called it, but it was a celebration of her son that day that had been gone for a year, just like you said.

222
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,240
Yeah, the Yartzeit.

223
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,280
Yeah, that's what it was.

224
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,720
I think that's a Yiddish word.

225
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,200
It sounds kind of German.

226
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,240
It means the year time.

227
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,040
OK.

228
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,120
She asked me, she said, Dean, I'm having a hard time.

229
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:28,640
Pray for me.

230
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,520
And I did.

231
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,640
You know what I mean?

232
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,240
Because she missed her son so much.

233
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,040
The good thing about it, he's with the father and Jesus in heaven.

234
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,160
And I was just trying to encourage her and keeping her remembered.

235
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:44,160
And you mamas out there that have lost a child, I always say, you know, you need to grieve.

236
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,040
You need to go through that.

237
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,240
But I always think, think about where they're at.

238
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,120
They're getting something in the sense of what you wanted them to have.

239
00:14:53,120 --> 00:15:00,360
Everybody wants their children to be happy, to have joy, to not have any issues going on in their lives.

240
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,400
We both have children and we raised them to try to get to that point here on the planet.

241
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,080
But now they're in heaven, not your children or my children, but these children are.

242
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,360
And they're having everything that parents wanted them to have plus.

243
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,440
Yes.

244
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,640
There's a joy in that.

245
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,560
Yes, we miss them.

246
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,320
Yes, we grieve.

247
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,320
Yes, we wish they weren't gone.

248
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:25,880
But the reality, we can also grab the joy that they're there and they're having everything we wanted them to have plus.

249
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:26,920
Beautiful.

250
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,080
And that they're in our future.

251
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,440
They're in our future. Yes, they're in our future.

252
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,240
Yes.

253
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:40,960
And so, but to go back to that, I just want to really emphasize that piece of it when Jesus said to me, you know, that we don't celebrate him enough on the planet.

254
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,600
When I first got back, to be honest with you, Sharon Enfield, I was saddened by it.

255
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,360
You know what I mean?

256
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,120
I was really saddened by it.

257
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,600
And I think the sadness I had was more than just my sadness.

258
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,400
You know what I mean?

259
00:15:53,400 --> 00:16:03,680
It was if God had been on the planet or Jesus had been back on the planet, he would have been saddened by how we have neglected the celebration of him.

260
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,640
Because remember, I think we were supposed to do it every time we took communion.

261
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,800
Yes.

262
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,280
And how often do we take communion in most of our churches?

263
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:21,160
You know, Philip and I try to take it every day, but once a month or some churches only once a year and some churches never.

264
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,240
Yes.

265
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,720
But I'd say that because I look at that, it just came to my mind that was supposed to be a celebration.

266
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,240
Yes.

267
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,240
You understand what I mean?

268
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:38,400
You know, that Jesus Christ, you know, was died on that cross and because of what he did, now we have eternal life, you know, because of what he did.

269
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,400
And looking at that, you know, that should be celebrated.

270
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:50,760
But I've always had that time as a solemn moment, you know, very kind of like, hmm, do you understand what I'm talking about?

271
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:57,640
It's a good way to put it. I don't know how to spell it, but it's good.

272
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,880
I can remember what the church I first went to and then we would all say, I know it was the blood.

273
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,040
I know it was the blood. I know it was the blood.

274
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,280
You know, I forget the rest of that song.

275
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,400
And then we kind of like sing that song and that would be about it.

276
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,840
So it was kind of almost a sad moment and it shouldn't be.

277
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,880
It should be a very joyful moment of celebration.

278
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,360
You know, probably, hey, tell me this.

279
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:27,560
Was that feast supposed to be the same thing? A celebration?

280
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,400
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

281
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:35,680
The feast at Passover that Jesus was having this, it wasn't exactly a Seder,

282
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:46,320
but we've been learning that the meal that Jesus had with his disciples would have been like a picture of.

283
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:52,560
It's the only record that there is of any kind of celebration of the Passover in scripture.

284
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,840
They don't tell you how to celebrate it otherwise.

285
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:06,320
And so people, even Jewish people have looked back at the Last Supper to get an idea of what an ancient celebration was of Passover.

286
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:13,720
Because in those days, because they still had the temple, they were still killing a lamb as a sacrifice.

287
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,160
And it was a personal sacrifice for the family.

288
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:23,280
And it was the only sacrifice that a father of the house could do himself.

289
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,240
He had to take the blood to the altar to pour it out.

290
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,440
But, you know, he was doing it for his family and then they ate it. OK.

291
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:38,320
So this this celebration that they do now, well, they don't have the temple, so they can't pour out the blood.

292
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,840
So they don't use a lamb anymore.

293
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:50,480
So so they've created this retelling of the Exodus story as a part of the Seder because they don't have the temple anymore.

294
00:18:50,480 --> 00:19:00,000
Right. Right. But what most people don't really get a handle on that it was revelatory to me when Jesus said,

295
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:05,240
this cup is the new covenant in my blood. Right. Right. OK.

296
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,360
It was the blood that was put on the doorpost and lentils in Egypt.

297
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:15,320
Yes. That spared their firstborn son. Yes.

298
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:25,440
That sacrifice of the firstborn of of Egypt was what loosened the children of Israel from slavery and gave them into freedom.

299
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,760
OK, so we have that picture of Jesus being that for us.

300
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,600
But when he said this cup is the new covenant in my blood.

301
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:42,560
For years and years, I always assumed that that meant, OK, so we have the New Testament.

302
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:48,520
And so this book that we have is somehow connected to this cup. Wow.

303
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:59,680
But it never occurred to me until I read Jeremiah 31, starting with verse 31 through 34, that explains what the new covenant is.

304
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,080
Right. And I hadn't ever heard it preached.

305
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:09,120
I mean, I had always heard that becoming born again, you get a personal relationship with God.

306
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:13,040
But I didn't necessarily I asked Jesus to come in my heart.

307
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:19,320
I was six years old. So from from then on, I said, well, yeah, I have a personal relationship with Jesus.

308
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,080
He lives in my heart. But there wasn't that communion.

309
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,840
There wasn't that communication there.

310
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:32,440
And I think there's a gazillion Christians out there that really have not had that experience of knowing him,

311
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:40,840
which is one of the things that there's four things that God says through Jeremiah that are going to happen as a part of this new covenant.

312
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,520
So there's there's the forgiveness of sins, which we understand.

313
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:51,800
We've got that. Yeah. And there's he said, I'll write my word in their hearts and in their minds.

314
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,200
Yes. And that I think that took place on Pentecost.

315
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:05,280
Yes. You know, when because the original Pentecost was when God wrote with his fiery finger into the into the tablets of stone.

316
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,280
And now he's going to write it on fleshy tables of the heart. Right.

317
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,160
That's what Paul said happened. So that's the first two things.

318
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,960
And then the next one is I will be their God and they will be my people.

319
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,480
Well, that's what that was part of the first covenant. It was supposed to be that.

320
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:26,560
And then the fourth part is and they will know me. Yeah.

321
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:32,960
It's about knowing him. So this idea of having a personal relationship,

322
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:41,600
it didn't dawn on me until I'd been walking with the Lord for years and years and years that that this cup,

323
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:52,520
this communion cup, this Seder experience, this Passover celebration is for the purpose of knowing him.

324
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,280
And it says that that they will all know me from the least of them to the greatest.

325
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:03,160
Everybody will know him. You won't have to speak to your neighbor and say, it's time for you to know God,

326
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,760
because everybody's going to know him. And that's what he died for.

327
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:13,120
You know, the disciples walking with Jesus on the road to Emmaus.

328
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:18,160
And when he broke bread with them, their eyes were open. Yes.

329
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,680
Something happened. They didn't say there was a cup there, you know, but.

330
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,200
Yes, and it would have still been during that time of unleavened bread.

331
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,840
So it would have been unleavened bread that they would have had.

332
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,320
And I go back and that's something to celebrate.

333
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,760
And that's what I'm saying. When we take that communion that we do, you know,

334
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,400
I don't think we realize that that's supposed to be a celebration time.

335
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,520
It seems like to me, it's a funeral time almost.

336
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,080
It's a very solemn. It's because the same night he was betrayed.

337
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:56,680
Yeah. You know, I say something to point out all the time, because it was such a great experience for me

338
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,640
when I left my body and went to be with the Father Jesus.

339
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:05,680
And it was really something to know that my body died and then my spirit left.

340
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,280
You've heard me say that before, you know, that my body died first.

341
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,240
The physical part of me died. I mean, not dead, died. My spirit left first.

342
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,680
That's what I thought. That's what I'm glad you.

343
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,560
Yeah, I was going to say.

344
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:24,120
I'm trying to find this scripture that I like to quote out of the Hebrews, the second chapter, the ninth verse.

345
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:29,840
But the thing that really got me about that was that I didn't know it was going to be that way.

346
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,240
I didn't know that first I was going to leave it in my body would die.

347
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:42,360
That's something to celebrate that we, I think, are supposed to bring up in that time of communion.

348
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:46,760
We talk about, you know, drink his cup and eat the bread piece of it.

349
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:52,440
But we don't talk about what it really means that literally you're saying you will never die,

350
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,680
that your body will die, but you will never die.

351
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:02,280
And then he did something else I thought was really cool when you read this in Hebrews, the second chapter,

352
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,280
ninth verse, it says, but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while,

353
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:12,360
now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death so that by God's grace,

354
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:15,680
he would experience death on behalf of everyone.

355
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,200
Amen.

356
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,720
So that's something to celebrate.

357
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,840
You know, that when we're doing that communion, this is all leading back to the first supper.

358
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:30,560
But when we're doing that and celebrating that, we should be joyful about this because this is something

359
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:37,080
that he did that we're reminding ourselves when we're doing that, that we don't have to go through.

360
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,040
We don't have to go through that issue.

361
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:44,240
And then Hebrews, the 14th and 15th verses in this same chapter,

362
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,480
therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he likewise shared in their humanity

363
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,200
so that through death he could destroy the one who holds the power of death, that is the devil.

364
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,120
And this is where this comes in.

365
00:24:56,120 --> 00:25:01,680
It goes right along with what you're talking about, the children of Israel being set free.

366
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:02,560
Yes.

367
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,040
And set free those who were held in slavery.

368
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,760
You see how this is correlating with everything you're saying there?

369
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,520
Yes.

370
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,920
All their lives by their fear of death.

371
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,840
That's right, that's right. I preach that all the time.

372
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,120
This should be a celebration time when we're taking the communion.

373
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:26,840
And maybe that's what we're supposed to be sharing this time and encouraging people out there that are listening to this,

374
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,120
to look at your communion time as a celebration.

375
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:30,640
Yes.

376
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,200
Yes, we do it in remembrance.

377
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,560
Don't get me wrong, but celebrate what you're remembering.

378
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,000
You're remembering that Jesus Christ died on the cross to set you free.

379
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,920
Yes.

380
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,600
It's a shouting time.

381
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,720
It's a glorious time.

382
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,280
It's not to play the funeral music.

383
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,080
You understand what I'm talking about?

384
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,000
Yes.

385
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,240
It's to play the celebration music.

386
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,600
In our church that I grew up in, it was like a branch of the assemblies.

387
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,640
It was Swedes, Nelson, Swansons, all the Swedes.

388
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,280
And of course, that was a real, that's kind of staunch anyway.

389
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,560
And so is communion for sure.

390
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,880
But I really believe this is probably just kind of teasing this out with you guys.

391
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,960
When Jesus said to me, they don't celebrate me enough.

392
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:24,720
This is a way, because I felt like even when He was saying it to me at the moment,

393
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,600
that we had an opportunity to celebrate Him more and we just didn't do it on the planet.

394
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:30,440
Yeah.

395
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,760
That's what I felt like He was saying.

396
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,440
So I came back thinking about that in the hospital room.

397
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,400
I was pondering things.

398
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,080
And I thought about Christmas and I thought about Easter.

399
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,920
Those are the two days I thought about that we celebrated.

400
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,280
And then I thought, okay, where are the days do we really celebrate?

401
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,920
Then I thought about the Jewish people and they have more celebrations.

402
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,080
Do you understand what I mean?

403
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,200
Every Shabbat.

404
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,120
Yeah, and we should have more than them.

405
00:26:58,120 --> 00:26:58,960
True.

406
00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,880
Yeah.

407
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:05,120
We've been told that we've been set free from the ultimate, which is death.

408
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:06,120
Right.

409
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:09,880
And that means, and I like what you said about what was found out in Jeremiah,

410
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:16,040
because if you think about what you just said, true death is being separated from God.

411
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:16,920
Very true.

412
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,280
And we have been set free from never being separated from God.

413
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,960
Thank you, Jesus.

414
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,000
You know, as you said, to know Him.

415
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,200
You know, when you get to heaven, you will know Him.

416
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,600
And it isn't a knowing like we know, like we think we know each other.

417
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,120
It's even past that.

418
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:35,120
Sure.

419
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,840
It's so much past that.

420
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,000
Oh, listen to this, this is good, this is coming open to me.

421
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:46,320
It is so much past knowing Him that you never ever doubt, ever doubt.

422
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,080
And when I say ever, I mean, there's no doubt that God is for you.

423
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,360
Hmm, beautiful.

424
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:57,560
When I came back and I still have it, it's like I always tell people,

425
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,040
I can go over and sit in the corner and not do nothing.

426
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,760
And I still get the goal to be with the Father of Jesus as ever.

427
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:10,000
And I'm not advocating not doing anything, but I have no doubt I will be with Him.

428
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,640
Do you see what I'm talking about?

429
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:17,360
There's nothing in me that has a doubt that I will be with Him, you know, forever.

430
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,280
And that's what I gained there.

431
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,320
One of the things I talked about and we probably don't have time to talk about,

432
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,320
but remember I told you I went through the out of darkness to get there,

433
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,080
the dark area to get to the light and how the demon,

434
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,040
devil and evil spirits in between there, you know?

435
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,680
And I felt like as I was going through there, they couldn't touch me.

436
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:42,160
I had no doubt they could not touch me because I was His.

437
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,360
See, I knew that. I knew that about Him.

438
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,360
You understand when you say you know Him, it wasn't so much I knew Him,

439
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,920
like I knew how big He was, I knew He'd do this.

440
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,240
I just knew how much He was for me.

441
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,280
That's when I come back and I say things like, He's already chosen me.

442
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,200
He just wants me to choose Him.

443
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,960
Yes. I have no doubt about that.

444
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,640
You know, those are the things that I came to really experience

445
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,800
when I was leaving this body and going to be with the Father and Jesus.

446
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,160
I have no doubt that all of heaven was made for me.

447
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,960
You know, I don't like to say that because people think,

448
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,760
what about me? What about me?

449
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,120
It's made for you too.

450
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,120
Exactly.

451
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,520
You know, but it's like it's only made for you.

452
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,880
You know, I have no doubt of that.

453
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,320
When it says we will know Him, those are the things I know about Him.

454
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,360
And I am so solid in that.

455
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,280
And I had to have grace and mercy when I came back,

456
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,920
because not all of us, because of this experience, have that.

457
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,680
We doubt Him in a lot of ways.

458
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,200
I remember when I first started out, I think I told you guys this,

459
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,440
and I was putting CDs together, DVDs together.

460
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,080
And as I was putting them together, the Lord told me to give them away.

461
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,360
And I remember thinking to myself, well, Kenneth Copeland don't give his away,

462
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,400
and they don't give his away, and this person don't give theirs away,

463
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,560
and Jesse DePlatto don't give his away, so why I got to give mine away?

464
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,000
That's what's going in my head.

465
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,120
And this is what they used to be able to bring in the funding

466
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,960
so they could do the things they need to do,

467
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,000
which is to travel the world and share the gospel.

468
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,880
And I just remember what He said to me, trust me.

469
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,680
And once He said, trust me, I had no doubt.

470
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,760
Beautiful.

471
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,680
You know, I had none at all, because I knew Him.

472
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,600
You know, I always tell people, when you get there, the Bible says in John,

473
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,480
you will see Him as He is.

474
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:36,960
And that's perceive Him to the fullness of what He wants you to perceive Him as.

475
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:42,080
And I just knew that, I knew that, I knew even today, I still have it inside of me.

476
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,080
And it's been hard to try to get that across to people.

477
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,880
And I have to have grace and mercy, really,

478
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,400
because I think sometimes, why are you worried about that?

479
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,160
You know, you still get to go to heaven.

480
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,040
Why is that bothering you?

481
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,480
You still get to go to heaven.

482
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,480
You know, He said, He'll never leave you, He'll not forsake you.

483
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,880
So what are you worried about?

484
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,360
It may look different.

485
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,160
You understand?

486
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,360
As someone that's sitting and following His ways,

487
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,240
I can understand why you're worried, because you know you're outside of His will.

488
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,800
Doesn't mean He doesn't love you.

489
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,800
I can't even tell you, doesn't mean you're not going to heaven,

490
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,560
because He's the one that has to make that decision.

491
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,080
But the reality of it is, I know.

492
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:30,360
I know that, I know that, I know that everything about Him wants you there.

493
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:31,760
Oh, wow.

494
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,000
How beautiful is that?

495
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:40,160
And that drives me to go and tell others, because I don't have to question.

496
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,000
I'm not doing it because it gets me a new mark in my belt

497
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,520
that I got a person born again.

498
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,840
Right.

499
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,160
I always call it being set free anyway.

500
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,680
People say, be a born again, which it is.

501
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,640
But you're being set free.

502
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,320
What are you being set free from?

503
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:55,240
Death.

504
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,440
Yes.

505
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,280
And that's what He came to do, set us free from death.

506
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,080
That's what the Bible says.

507
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:06,120
So I say that to you only because I want to go back to the celebrating of Him.

508
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:12,400
Even myself, I got a different view of communion by us just talking here.

509
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,720
And I'm praying that others that are listening to us

510
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,640
can look at communion a whole different way.

511
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,240
If there's a pastor out there and has a church,

512
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,360
don't look at it like it's a song, a celebration.

513
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,560
In the sense, oh, we've got Jesus.

514
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:26,960
He died on the cross.

515
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,880
And I know people cry because He died and was whipped for you.

516
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,760
And I got a picture on my phone when I started off my prayers

517
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,640
showing Him marred like you wouldn't believe.

518
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:42,200
And I do that just to remind me as I'm praying what He did for others.

519
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,920
But the reality of it is, if He didn't go through that,

520
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:47,760
you understand?

521
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:48,560
Yeah.

522
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,320
I would have felt all the pain of death.

523
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,560
I would have felt it.

524
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,280
I can't even tell you what it was like due to the fact

525
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,680
that He died on that cross and took my pain.

526
00:32:58,680 --> 00:32:59,360
That's true.

527
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,040
And He did it for the joy that was set before Him.

528
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,080
The joy that was set before Him.

529
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,880
Hebrews 12, 1, is it?

530
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,760
I believe somewhere in Hebrews 12.

531
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,040
Endured the cross.

532
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,440
He endured the cross for the joy that was set before Him,

533
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,200
endured the cross, despising the shame.

534
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,640
And the joy to me was us.

535
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:20,160
Yeah.

536
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,280
Somebody else, it might have been something else.

537
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,320
But to me, He looked ahead, saw me, and it brought joy to Him.

538
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,080
And it still does.

539
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,120
And so I can celebrate that.

540
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,080
And that gave me a whole new meaning to this.

541
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,120
Amen.

542
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,560
That's good news.

543
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,840
Absolutely good news.

544
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,800
I'm glad we can break that down like this.

545
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,480
And I didn't even mean to start off with this.

546
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,080
I was about to talk about angels.

547
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,480
Or the fig tree.

548
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,360
Or even about authority a little bit.

549
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,040
I wanted to go into that and see where we ended up with that one.

550
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,840
Maybe we could do that the next time.

551
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,360
Yeah.

552
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,120
But I just remember that He said to me,

553
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,600
they do not celebrate me enough on the planet.

554
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,360
Now I can go back and say, this is what we can do to celebrate them.

555
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,160
Every time we have communion.

556
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,960
And I would recommend that you have communion every week.

557
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,400
Or every day.

558
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:10,600
Or every day.

559
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,760
But every time, it's a celebration of Him.

560
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,400
Yes.

561
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:15,960
Wow.

562
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,280
I don't know about you guys, but that was good news.

563
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,360
Absolutely.

564
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,000
Absolutely.

565
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Well, I just want to throw in here that you're

566
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,120
going to be with us in November, on November 2nd,

567
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,760
for a full day seminar on heavenly authority, right?

568
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:30,600
Yes.

569
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,200
So maybe you could just give us a little description of what

570
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,720
you feel like the Lord is showing you that you'll be unpacking then.

571
00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:41,920
You know, I'm unpacking the difference between earthly authority

572
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,480
and heavenly authority.

573
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,960
And that's what I'm doing.

574
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,600
And a lot of times, we get those things mixed up.

575
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,240
There's earthly authority that was given to us in Genesis,

576
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:51,600
the first two chapters.

577
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,000
And then there's heavenly authority that was given to us

578
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,320
when Jesus rose from the dead.

579
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,080
And so I'm going to take those two and help people understand

580
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,240
some things of what we have.

581
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:03,640
You know, which is good.

582
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,880
It's like when Jesus said, I came not to abolish the law,

583
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,200
but to fulfill the law.

584
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,280
Yes.

585
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,800
And we look at that as mainly what we cannot do.

586
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:14,600
You know what I mean?

587
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,800
But the law has cans too.

588
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:17,880
You understand what I mean?

589
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:18,240
Yeah.

590
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:19,640
Most people don't realize.

591
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,000
We think of a law as stopping us from doing something.

592
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,920
But you could probably reiterate this.

593
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,080
But there's a lot of these are the laws to do something.

594
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,240
Well, absolutely.

595
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:32,720
And these are the results of doing something that's

596
00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:34,040
going to get you good stuff.

597
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,600
Do you understand?

598
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,440
You know, because we look at the law like the Ten Commandments,

599
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,320
you know, thou shall not steal.

600
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,040
That's a King James version.

601
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,440
But there's a reward for not doing that.

602
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:47,200
Sure.

603
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,160
So that's one of the things the Lord wants me.

604
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,560
Just to give you a little teaser, when I was there with Jesus

605
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,320
and He said something to me about authority,

606
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,080
I listened to this.

607
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,240
You ready for this?

608
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,440
OK.

609
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,960
And He talked about the fig tree.

610
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,840
He told me that the fig tree died or shriveled up.

611
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,800
And this is what He said, because the fig tree

612
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,720
knew who He is.

613
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:12,880
That's how He said it.

614
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:13,520
Yeah.

615
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,800
Which puts a whole different light on that fig tree.

616
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,120
I mostly looked at it like He died because Jesus spoke

617
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,000
and a curse came over the fig tree from the outside in.

618
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,520
And really what happened is the tree died from the inside out.

619
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,200
Yeah.

620
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,240
Yeah.

621
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:33,760
Well, I can give you a little bit of background on that.

622
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,600
OK.

623
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,160
Because in Song of Solomon, I believe

624
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,280
it's in chapter 2, where it talks about,

625
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,040
behold, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone,

626
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,560
the flowers appear in the land, the time of the singing

627
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,520
of the birds has come, the fig tree

628
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,960
has put forth its green figs.

629
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:51,600
OK.

630
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,880
In the Hebrew, the word for green figs is pagi.

631
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,080
And we lived in Israel for a season.

632
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,520
We were there for about three months.

633
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,560
And we were there for the transition

634
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,880
from winter into spring.

635
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,120
And I used to go shopping with the ladies.

636
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,400
And it had been so cold and so rainy and such nasty weather

637
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,680
and just bone chilling cold.

638
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,280
And I was getting out of the car as we were going

639
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,600
to go have lunch together.

640
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,520
And it was a beautiful blue sky day and kind of warm.

641
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:23,480
And it was wonderful.

642
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,840
And I heard that scripture in my spirit.

643
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,680
And then I thought, OK, maybe winter's over.

644
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,120
Maybe spring is really here.

645
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,080
That'll be wonderful.

646
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,720
I'm tired of this cold.

647
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:36,080
But then a day or so later, we were walking in the village.

648
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,600
And here is a fig tree.

649
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,760
And it's starting to put out leaves.

650
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,120
And it's got these little green figs on it.

651
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,800
Well, it turns out, as I studied it,

652
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,120
that these little green figs are not actually figs,

653
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,160
but they're the flower of the fig.

654
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,920
But it looks like a fig.

655
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:54,560
OK.

656
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,400
It's like a miniature version of a fig.

657
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,880
But it's actually just the flower of it.

658
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:04,360
If you have apple blossoms and the bees come along

659
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,360
and do their thing, you're going to have apples, right?

660
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,200
Right.

661
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,080
OK.

662
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:15,800
So when Jesus was walking from Bethany to the Temple Mount,

663
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:23,320
he went through a town called Bethphage, which is the,

664
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,240
I don't know if that's the anglicization

665
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:28,560
or how many languages it went through to get to us

666
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,360
to be Bethphage.

667
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,440
But what it means is Bethpagi.

668
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,680
It's the house of Pagi.

669
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,800
House of the flower.

670
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,920
The house of the fig flower.

671
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:38,440
OK.

672
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,680
OK, so they must have had a lot of fig trees.

673
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,240
That's my surmising.

674
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:47,880
So or at least they were at one time, maybe they did.

675
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,960
So Jesus was hungry that the green figs, the Pagi,

676
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,760
are actually edible, but they're not figs.

677
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,720
So when the Bible says it wasn't time for figs, it's true.

678
00:38:58,720 --> 00:38:59,600
It was the spring.

679
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:00,800
It was Passover time.

680
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,840
It was right before, it was like the week

681
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,680
before he was crucified.

682
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,440
So he went looking among the leaves,

683
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,840
because usually there's leaves and there's

684
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,440
Pagi at the same time, because he was hungry

685
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,160
and they're edible.

686
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:19,800
But if there's no Pagi, there's never going to be any figs.

687
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,920
Just like if there's no apple blossoms,

688
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,760
there won't be apples.

689
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,960
If there's no cherry blossoms, there won't be any cherries.

690
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:32,880
So because there was no Pagi, because there was no flowers,

691
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,720
there's not ever going to be any figs.

692
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:41,720
So why should you live if you are not going to produce fruit?

693
00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:45,800
And so, yeah, the fig tree would have recognized him

694
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,680
with his authority that, uh-oh, I've been found out.

695
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:58,120
I don't have any flowers, so I'm not going to have any fruit.

696
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,000
And from the inside out, yeah, it would have given up,

697
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,440
because it didn't have, it wasn't bringing forth

698
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,200
what would bring forth fruit.

699
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,760
And I think that's something that we need to think about

700
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,640
in terms of helping people become disciples.

701
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,520
That maybe they don't have fruit yet,

702
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,400
but maybe they're starting to have flowers.

703
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,640
We need to be gentle with them while they're in this process of,

704
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,520
I don't want to preach about the birds and the bees,

705
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:30,680
but the point is that there has to be, in our intimacy with God,

706
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:36,280
there has to be that connection that causes the fertilization

707
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,280
of that flower.

708
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,440
But there has to be a flower first.

709
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,280
And so our prayers for new converts,

710
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,400
we need to be covering them with prayer as they come to the Lord

711
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,160
so that they will become disciples,

712
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,080
so that they'll get the flowers,

713
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,880
the flowers will get fertilized,

714
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,920
and then it'll grow into fruit, and it'll be sweet.

715
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,880
Right.

716
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,120
I'm not saying anything else,

717
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,520
because I'll be teaching on it in November, so.

718
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,720
Okay.

719
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:06,840
Okay.

720
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,080
So that's November 2nd, 2024.

721
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,240
We want to invite people to come.

722
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:14,320
We'll have it up on our website pretty soon.

723
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:15,960
I think there might be something there

724
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,800
with just the dates so far, but.

725
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,800
I'd just like to say that people understand

726
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,040
why we do this at Global Outpouring,

727
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,960
is because God has opened up the door for me to do it there.

728
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,560
I don't do this everywhere.

729
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,040
You know, I'm more of an evangelist person to bring in the harvest,

730
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,760
but Global Outpouring is one of the places that I can teach at.

731
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,800
You know, and so I teach there things that God wants me to teach.

732
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,480
You know, doesn't mean I won't teach it somewhere else.

733
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,680
It's just that teaching has not been something like my brother Tony.

734
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,080
You know, he goes and he does a lot of teaching.

735
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,800
You know, that's what God has called him to do.

736
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,560
Where for me, my responsibility is to bring people in.

737
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,320
You know, that's why I have those unique doors

738
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,040
that open for me all over the country,

739
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,120
is because that's what I'm supposed to do.

740
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,720
But every once in a while, I get to go somewhere and teach,

741
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:07,000
and Global Outpouring is one of the places

742
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,440
that the Lord has told me that I should teach at.

743
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:16,040
So that's why, you know, this one will be new to the teaching area.

744
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,320
Well, we're always excited when you come

745
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,680
because you open up doors of understanding.

746
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:22,240
Yeah.

747
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:27,720
That will help us to grow deeper and to become more intimate with our Father,

748
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:30,040
become more intimate with Jesus and celebrate him.

749
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:38,080
I love that idea of, OK, let's be intentional about celebrating Jesus.

750
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,160
About celebrating him.

751
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,000
I mean, I think one of the foundations just today is communion.

752
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,000
You know what I mean?

753
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,080
It really opened up the door for me, and I get to share it with people.

754
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:48,880
Amen.

755
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,560
That's what I get to share.

756
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:51,600
This is a day.

757
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,600
This is a time of celebration.

758
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:54,680
You know what I mean?

759
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:55,200
Amen.

760
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,800
So, you know, we could talk about all the terrible things that happened,

761
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,320
but there were some glorious things that took place in there.

762
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,320
And so we got to realize it.

763
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:04,320
Yeah.

764
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:04,880
Yeah.

765
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,120
Well, you know, I've always been struck by the idea

766
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:14,120
that when Jesus was having that dinner and he, John asked him,

767
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:19,320
Peter, Peter whispers to John, ask him who it is, who's going to betray him?

768
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:20,600
Ask him who it is.

769
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:25,200
And so Jesus says, the one that I dip the sop with or whatever, you know,

770
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,000
if you've if you've been to Israel or been around Middle Eastern people,

771
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:35,400
you take the bread and you dip it in maybe hummus or you might call it hummus

772
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,680
or tahina, some of these things that you with olive oil,

773
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,800
you might dip it in olive oil and you dip your bread in stuff.

774
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:48,520
And then in that tradition, in that traditional meal,

775
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,320
you would recline on your left elbow.

776
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:52,880
Right.

777
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,120
And then you would lean over to the person next to you,

778
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,400
because that's why John, it says that he leaned on Jesus breast

779
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,480
because he was sitting next to him.

780
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,040
He was placed next to him at the table.

781
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:12,120
So John would have leaned over to Jesus and given him some bread to eat.

782
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:18,480
And then Jesus would have leaned over on to Judas and given him some bread,

783
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,320
some bread with something on it, some bread that he sucked up.

784
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:27,680
OK. And then Jesus said to him, what you do, do quickly.

785
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,480
So Judas got up from the table and left.

786
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:36,640
And then the first thing Jesus says is now is the son of man glorified.

787
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,240
Yeah.

788
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:41,560
Judas has just gone out to betray him.

789
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,600
And Jesus says, now is the son of man glorified.

790
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:45,800
Is that good news?

791
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:46,960
It's great news.

792
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,760
Good news to me. I'm different.

793
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:55,560
You know, to me, it's sort of like it helps us to do a shift in our thinking.

794
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:56,160
Yeah.

795
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:03,480
That things that appear to be awful to us are a part of our glorification.

796
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:04,200
Yeah.

797
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,440
And that the fires that we go through, the traumas that we go through

798
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:13,480
are for the purpose of bringing the goop up and skimming it off

799
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,440
so that we become more purified.

800
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:16,960
Yes, right. Yeah.

801
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,280
And we started we talked about that journey.

802
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,960
Remember, we talked about that journey at the beginning of this.

803
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,520
And so we kind of gone in a circle going back to the journey,

804
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:32,320
you know, and how important the journey is to be able to get there.

805
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,400
You know, and so. Yes.

806
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,400
Well, Sharon, I don't have anything else.

807
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,000
There's things I could go into, but it's like those are going to take another hour.

808
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,000
And so.

809
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,400
Well, would you pray for our listeners?

810
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,360
Yes. Father, in the name of your son, Jesus Christ,

811
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,240
I thank you for each and every person listening right now.

812
00:45:51,240 --> 00:45:53,760
Lord, I thank you that their ears have been opened

813
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:58,200
and they've heard something today that has brought life into them

814
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,800
in a way that they didn't think it would happen.

815
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,800
I thank you, Lord, that not only are people more pointed

816
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,760
and celebrating you from listening to this broadcast right now,

817
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,840
but also, Lord, that there's healing taken in their lives,

818
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,560
whether it's emotional healing or physical healing.

819
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,640
But the healing is taking place in their lives because now they have opened up

820
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:24,680
their mind, pointed out that they will celebrate you even more often than they have been

821
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,960
and that they will be glad.

822
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:32,800
Yes, they will be glad when they realize that you are celebrating with them.

823
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,120
In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

824
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,840
Amen. Yeah.

825
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:38,680
Hallelujah.

826
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,400
Thanks for being with us today.

827
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,800
And we'll send people to your website, deanbraxton.com

828
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,360
and to your Facebook page and your YouTube channel.

829
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,800
There's so much out there and your books are out there.

830
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:55,080
And we just want people to enjoy learning more of the things that you have shared already

831
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:59,120
about heaven and about getting a heavenly perspective about things.

832
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,800
It changes everything about how we think.

833
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,080
Well, I thank you for helping me to link it to the Jewish people and to the Hebrew people.

834
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,400
Like you said, I know you don't know everything, but what you do know really helps out.

835
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:11,920
Hallelujah.

836
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:17,040
Well, I'm just I'm in awe and humbled that the Lord would give us this privilege.

837
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,920
But I'm thrilled. It's just it's a blessing.

838
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,520
Amen. And we're grateful.

839
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:47,840
Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.

840
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,360
You can also browse our web store for life changing anointed books.

841
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,080
Until next time, this is Sharon Buss.

842
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:00,520
And I'm Phillip Buss.

843
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,960
God bless you with His overwhelming, loving presence.
