(252) “Seek the Lord with Your Whole Heart and Find Him”

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,400
There's always more.

2
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,360
There's always going to be more.

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,960
And our Father wants us to understand that

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,740
it's really worth seeking him wholeheartedly

5
00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:14,700
because he has more for us than we can even imagine.

6
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:17,960
Now there are spiritual blessings that are there

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,480
that we can't comprehend unless we pursue them.

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,640
Yes, and persevere.

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,440
You just keep pursuing.

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:39,760
God promises in Joel 2, 28 to pour out his Spirit on all humanity.

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,160
Welcome to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that promise outpouring,

12
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:49,320
we equip for that outpouring, so that we may engage in that very outpouring.

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,600
I'm Philip Bus.

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,600
And I'm Sharon Bus.

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,120
Welcome to the podcast today.

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,260
We're so glad that you're with us.

17
00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:57,760
The Lord began speaking to my spirit this morning

18
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,640
about the scripture that's in Jeremiah 29, 13.

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,080
And you will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.

20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,840
It's time for us to seek the Lord like never before.

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:19,840
And the wonderful thing is that when we seek him, we will find him.

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Thank you so much for joining us today.

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,200
We are delighted that we can be together again.

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,920
It always makes us happy to sit in front of these microphones and imagine you listening.

25
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,280
And before we get started on this episode, we just want to make sure that if you haven't

29
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:01,200

30
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Airport Marriott Hotel.

31
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,140
It's going to be a wonderful family camp time.

32
00:02:06,140 --> 00:02:12,840
It's going to be a time of meeting God in a marvelous way for all the age groups.

33
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,880
We've got nursery and children's ministry and youth ministry and something for everyone

34
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,440
that's going to cause everyone in the family to come closer to Jesus and walk with him

35
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,800
more closely.

36
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,640
So we want to encourage you to be with us for that.

37
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:35,120
We have Dr. Tony Kemp with us, Bishop Tony Kemp, and he is just a glory man.

38
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,680
We love the way that he flows in the Holy Spirit and brings fresh bread every time he

39
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,920
ministers.

40
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:47,280
And we have Dean Braxton who's going to be with us and he's going to be even having a

41
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,220
special Q&A time talking about whatever your questions are about heaven and his experience

42
00:02:54,220 --> 00:02:59,680
of going to heaven for an hour and 45 minutes when he left his body and his body died.

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,880
And we have others and God is going to pour out his spirit in a powerful way in that time.

44
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,740
We want to encourage you to be there.

45
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:10,520
Come and bring some hungry people with you.

46
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,280
It's going to be a glory time.

47
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,580
So today we're talking about seek the Lord with your whole heart and find him.

48
00:03:18,580 --> 00:03:21,880
It's about seeking for him with your whole heart.

49
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:31,560
It's real easy to kind of half heartedly seek and you'll only maybe not even half find him.

50
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,560
But when you seek for him with your whole heart, something happens.

51
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Something happens that is actually a healing for your heart and it's a uniting of your

52
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,960
heart and uniting your heart with him because really he designed us.

53
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:53,520
He's our father and he designed us with a place in his heart for us and a place for

54
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,720
him in our hearts.

55
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,620
When we seek him, it's like for a classical guitar.

56
00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:03,800
There was a point where I finally felt like I was going somewhere.

57
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,520
And then before that, just learning your learning scales and learning things.

58
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,520
Boring.

59
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,520
Yeah, it's boring.

60
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,920
And you know, in our day, you know, that's minimal.

61
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,800
But there is a point where you feel like you're accomplishing something.

62
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,800
And that's the same way with prayer life too.

63
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,960
When you're first starting out, sometimes it doesn't feel like you're going anywhere

64
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,960
like you want.

65
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,360
You know, it says, Lord, I'm spending all this time, but maybe he wants you to spend

66
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,900
a little more time.

67
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:35,900
It's like half hearted.

68
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:39,880
You know, to be good at something, you have to work at it.

69
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:40,880
Yes.

70
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,880
And you put your heart into it.

71
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,880
It's kind of true across the board in anything.

72
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,880
Sure.

73
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,440
If you're into sports, you know, you're not going to get up there and play basketball

74
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,440
like Caitlin Clark.

75
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,400
Unless you have practiced a lot.

76
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,400
Right.

77
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,400
You put your heart in.

78
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,400
You put your heart in.

79
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,960
And you know, she puts her heart into, she cares more about the game than I think than

80
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,960
winning for herself.

81
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,960
Right.

82
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,000
You know, because she's all about winning.

83
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
And the team.

84
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
And the team.

85
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
And the team is there.

86
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Right.

87
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Which is what we're supposed to be.

88
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Exactly.

89
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
We spend more time with the Lord.

90
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,680
We won't be loose cannons.

91
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,360
Ah, you know, loose.

92
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,640
When you connect with other people of the same synergy that have the same vision and

93
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,640
pull as you.

94
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,640
Yeah.

95
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,640
It creates a synergy.

96
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,640
It creates that.

97
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,640
Yeah.

98
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Otherwise you're just a cannon out there sometimes.

99
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,400
Yeah.

100
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,360
There's something that happens when the weight of his glory comes down on you.

101
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,360
Yeah.

102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:43,040
There's a weightiness that, you know, when you really get into a heavy presence of the

103
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,480
Lord, you wind up on your knees or on your face.

104
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,480
Yes.

105
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,720
You know, it's like when the glory of God came in at the dedication of the tabernacle

106
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,320
and again at the dedication of the temple.

107
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,640
When the glory came in, the priests couldn't stand up.

108
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:05,680
You know, when Jesus was resurrected, the guards that were there, they fell down.

109
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,040
Even in the garden of Gethsemane, they fell down when Jesus said, I am.

110
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,040
Remember Steven Lytle, he wrote the book Exodus 2.

111
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,280
It was about the Jews coming out of Europe, you know, out of Russia.

112
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,040
And he was on a long fast.

113
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,040
Oh, yeah.

114
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,920
And he's, I think it was in, maybe it was in Russia or he was in Germany.

115
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,920
I'm not sure where he was.

116
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,800
I don't know where he was, but I remember that part of the story.

117
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,680
But the power of God just came down and he's just on the floor.

118
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,660
And people would walk into the room and fall on their face.

119
00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:40,320
The more closeness they had with the Lord, the longer they could stay in the glory.

120
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,320
Yes.

121
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,160
But there came a point where most of them, they had to crawl out.

122
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,160
They couldn't handle it.

123
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,160
It was so intense.

124
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,160
Yeah.

125
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,160
I thought, wow.

126
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,880
He was seeking the Lord with all his heart in fasting.

127
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,640
And which Isaiah was, you know, seeking the Lord.

128
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,280
And when Isaiah chapter six, woe is me, I am undone.

129
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:00,280
Right.

130
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:01,280
Yeah.

131
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:02,280
And just fall on your face.

132
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:03,280
Right.

133
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:06,320
And you know, we could be like Ezekiel, the Lord will take you by a lock of your hair

134
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:12,320
and pull you up out of your, pull your spirit out of your body to see what's happening somewhere.

135
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,320
Yeah.

136
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,320
But he had relationship.

137
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Relationship.

138
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,320
Through tough times.

139
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,320
Yeah.

140
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:26,640
And to go back to this scripture in Jeremiah 29 13, the context is really important here

141
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:27,640
for you to understand.

142
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:33,240
And, you know, everybody just about can quote Jeremiah 29 11, for I know the thoughts that

143
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,200
I think toward you says the Lord thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected

144
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,760
end, or to give you a future and a hope.

145
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,360
It's in another translation that way.

146
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,960
Most people can quote that, but they tend to quote it out of context.

147
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:53,000
The context of that scripture and this one about you shall seek me and find me when you

148
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,760
search for me with all your heart.

149
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:02,560
The context of this is Jeremiah's letter to the people that have just been deported to

150
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,920
Babylon.

151
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,640
And you know, they weren't expecting to be deported to Babylon.

152
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,240
They weren't expected to be carried away into captivity.

153
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:21,680
But Jeremiah's writing to them and saying, look, you guys are in the best possible position.

154
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,360
Everybody that's left behind here is going to die by the sword or die by the famine.

155
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:33,280
And so you are blessed to have been taken to Babylon.

156
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:39,140
So verse five says, build houses and dwell in them, plant gardens and eat fruit of them.

157
00:08:39,140 --> 00:08:45,000
Verse six, take wives, have children, take wives for your sons and give your daughters

158
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,440
to husbands that they may bear sons and daughters, that they may be increased there and not diminished.

159
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,640
And then it goes on to say, seek the peace of the city where you've been carried away

160
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,640
captive.

161
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,920
Bloom where you're planted.

162
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,960
That's a good way to say it.

163
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:08,000
That says, pray unto Yehovah for it, for the city where you've been taken.

164
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,900
For in the peace thereof, you shall have peace.

165
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:18,360
In other words, wherever God has taken you and planted you, do everything that you can

166
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,760
to bring peace to that place.

167
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,720
Pray for the peace of the place that you've been sent.

168
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,600
That's what Joseph did when he was in captivity.

169
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Wherever he went, Potiphar's house, the jail, then like a son to Pharaoh, favor.

170
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:43,400
Yes, because the anointing of God is upon the people of his covenant.

171
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:51,380
So if we are Gentiles, we're not Jewish people, we've been grafted into that covenant.

172
00:09:51,380 --> 00:09:55,640
So we also have expectations of him keeping his covenant with us.

173
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,080
Because if he doesn't keep his covenant with Israel, why would we think he's gonna keep

174
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,080
it with us?

175
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,080
Truth.

176
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:09,000
So all of these things happened to Israel because of the covenant, because of the rules

177
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,520
and the instructions that God gave.

178
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,240
And we had a podcast several weeks ago about the law.

179
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,240
What about the law?

180
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:23,080
Well, before we go on to that, I just wanna finish talking about this, that in verse 10,

181
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:30,560
Jeremiah prophesies, for thus says Yehovah, the Lord, that after 70 years be accomplished

182
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:38,040
at Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word toward you in causing you to return

183
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,280
to this place.

184
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:44,200
So settle down is the point, settle down, you're gonna be here for 70 years.

185
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,920
So just hang in there.

186
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:52,040
So then comes the verse 11 that everyone quotes, for I know the thoughts that I think toward

187
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,920
you, says the Lord, thoughts of shalom.

188
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:02,960
So shalom means there's nothing broken, nothing missing, everything is paid in full, peace,

189
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,440
real peace.

190
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,640
And it also implies prosperity too.

191
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:13,520
So thoughts of peace, thoughts of shalom and not of evil to give you an expected end.

192
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,440
And that word expected there is the word tikvah, and it means hope.

193
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,440
Hope.

194
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:24,620
You know, hatikvah is the name of the national anthem of Israel and it means the hope.

195
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:34,440
So you have a hope, just settle down and live and bless the place where you are and live

196
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,680
like normal and worship God.

197
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:42,520
Because the whole problem was that the people had gotten into idolatry.

198
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,600
And that seems to be the thing that God hates most of all.

199
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:53,720
You know, it says right at the beginning of the 10 commandments, for I the Lord or Yehovah,

200
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,440
your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children.

201
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,920
It's about have no other gods before me.

202
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:02,920
Yes.

203
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:09,720
But time after time, the people, first of all, because they didn't deal with their enemies,

204
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,800
they didn't wipe out everybody that God told them to wipe out, they learned their ways,

205
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,440
which were idolatrous ways.

206
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:26,900
So if you roll back the time clock and look at when God sent them into the land of Canaan,

207
00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:37,280
remember that Noah had cursed Canaan because Ham, the son of Noah, mocked him for being

208
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,260
drunken and naked in his tent and mocked him to his brothers.

209
00:12:42,260 --> 00:12:44,500
And who knows what else he might have done.

210
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:46,340
That's not clear in the Bible.

211
00:12:46,340 --> 00:12:51,380
But Noah cursed Canaan, one of the sons of Ham.

212
00:12:51,380 --> 00:12:58,120
And it was the Canaanites that were inhabiting the land that among the Canaanites were giants.

213
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:07,700
Now remember that the flood came because of the Nephilim, the giants, all of these offspring

214
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:17,440
of the, quote, sons of God, unquote, that made wives out of the daughters of men and

215
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,160
had these monster kind of offspring.

216
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,960
I have a theory for what it's worth.

217
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,480
I don't know if it's worth anything or not, but I have a theory that maybe there was just

218
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:36,520
a little bit of DNA from that stuff that was in Ham's wife and it came into Canaan.

219
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,880
Oh, it's possible.

220
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,880
It's possible.

221
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,200
I don't know.

222
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:46,080
But we know that they were giants in the land and God had been trying to get rid of them

223
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,880
because they were just evil.

224
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,320
They're offspring of fallen beings.

225
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:58,240
And so if they had gotten rid of the Canaanites, all of them like they were supposed to, then

226
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,580
they wouldn't have had this problem with idolatry.

227
00:14:01,580 --> 00:14:08,360
But idolatry is putting something ahead of God that you worship instead of him.

228
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,360
Yeah.

229
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:17,120
You know, in Matthew 633, but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and

230
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,080
all these things shall be added onto you.

231
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,080
Absolutely.

232
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,720
There's a real principle there.

233
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:31,480
So if we're not fully seeking the Lord, maybe we're not getting blessed the way we should.

234
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:32,480
Right.

235
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,480
There's always more.

236
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,460
There's always going to be more.

237
00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:42,640
And our father wants us to understand that it's really worth seeking him wholeheartedly

238
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,160
because he has more for us than we can even imagine.

239
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:53,880
Now, there are spiritual blessings that are there that we can't comprehend unless we pursue

240
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,880
them.

241
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,880
Yes.

242
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:56,880
And persevere.

243
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,040
You just keep pursuing.

244
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:05,880
So you know, God made it clear in his word that he gave to Moses.

245
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,780
He said it three different times in the Torah.

246
00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:13,680
He warned his people what will happen if they don't follow him and live according to his

247
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:14,760
instructions.

248
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:20,320
So I won't read all of these scriptures, but if you want to follow up, you can go to Leviticus

249
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:31,520
chapter 26 and verses 31 to 33 and 36 describe what's going to happen if you don't follow

250
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:37,920
the rules, if you don't follow me wholeheartedly, if you don't love me enough to follow me.

251
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,240
Remember Jesus said, if you love me, keep my commandments.

252
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,220
So keeping his commandments is part of loving him.

253
00:15:45,220 --> 00:15:51,980
It's the love relationship that God has been trying for all these generations to get us

254
00:15:51,980 --> 00:15:56,760
to understand that he loves us.

255
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:02,780
And he loved Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and made these promises to them for the land that

256
00:16:02,780 --> 00:16:04,040
would be inhabited.

257
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,400
And it was this land that the Canaanites had occupied.

258
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,880
So anyway, God warns, here's what's going to happen.

259
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,960
I'm going to lay your city's waste and your sanctuaries.

260
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,960
I'm going to bring it down.

261
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,200
I'm not going to smell the good fragrance of your sweet aromas.

262
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:24,280
You can burn all the incense you want, but I'm not going to smell it.

263
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,800
If you are not doing this for me from your heart, if you're doing it for these other

264
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,840
idols and stuff, forget it.

265
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,400
And he says, I'll bring you to the land of desolations.

266
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,720
Your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

267
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,240
I'll scatter you among the nations and draw a sword after you.

268
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,240
And he goes on.

269
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,240
It's about being taken away captive.

270
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,480
I remember Howard Pittman.

271
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,960
He was a Baptist preacher.

272
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,440
And he did everything which you would think would be right.

273
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,880
I mean, he worked with troubled kids.

274
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,200
He gave tracks away.

275
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,720
And then he had a massive heart attack and died.

276
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,920
Went to heaven and Jesus wouldn't let him in.

277
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,640
He said, everything you did, you did for yourself.

278
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,760
It wasn't for me.

279
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,920
I'm sending you back with another chance.

280
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,160
And when he came back, he came through that second realm and the Lord showed him all the

281
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,520
demonic of the second heaven with all the activity going on.

282
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,640
So you really know what you're fighting against.

283
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,200
And it's just an amazing story.

284
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,200
It's not works.

285
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,200
Right.

286
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,200
Exactly.

287
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,920
For by grace you are saved by faith and not of yourselves.

288
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,240
It's a gift of God, not of works, as any man should boast.

289
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,240
That's right.

290
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,240
That's exactly right.

291
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,600
That puts it in perspective.

292
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,600
Certainly does.

293
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,000
And so much of the time, you know, especially as we're growing up and we're being taught

294
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,720
the ways that we're supposed to do the things we're supposed to do, and we do them by rote

295
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,840
rather than doing them by the heart.

296
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:03,480
And then even in the captivity, when you read the book of Ezekiel, where the Lord takes him,

297
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,400
he's already on the way to Babylon.

298
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,400
Yeah.

299
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,160
They're by the river Kibar.

300
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,320
And he's among the says he's among the captives.

301
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:19,320
That's when the Lord takes him by a lock of his hair, his spirit, and takes him up and

302
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,520
lets him look down.

303
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:26,360
He can see what everything is going on in the temple, all the abomination, all the abomination

304
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:32,160
to Egypt, and they're all burning incense facing the, I forget they're facing the east

305
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:37,040
or something that said the Lord, the Lord doesn't see us, the Lord doesn't care.

306
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:44,160
You know, and the statue of Tammuz, the goddess of fertility, was also in the temple.

307
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,160
He saw that.

308
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,160
Yeah.

309
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,160
Idolatry.

310
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:53,920
All this idolatry, and the common person out there may not know that was going on.

311
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,280
What's going on in the leadership.

312
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,280
Behind closed doors.

313
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,000
Behind closed doors.

314
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Yeah.

315
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,020
And so I think that's why many were shocked.

316
00:19:03,020 --> 00:19:07,840
How can God let this happen to us if they're doing all the right thing, but the priesthood

317
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,000
is not.

318
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,920
So maybe they were the ones that got carried away captive.

319
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:12,920
Wow.

320
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,920
And spared.

321
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,920
And spared.

322
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:15,920
Yeah.

323
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:21,200
So back to what the Lord was saying in the Torah, he says this three times, okay?

324
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:29,640
Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 4 and Deuteronomy 29 and 30.

325
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:36,120
Basically it's the same message three times where he says, if you persist in your idolatry,

326
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:41,120
I'm going to throw you out of the land and the land is going to have a chance to get

327
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:44,860
its rest because you're not going to give rest to it like I told you to.

328
00:19:44,860 --> 00:19:50,480
He already knew that they weren't going to give that seventh year of sabbatical rest

329
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:51,920
to the land.

330
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,440
And he goes on to say, he's going to scatter them into the nations.

331
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:03,360
But every time he says, when you're in tribulation, this is Deuteronomy 4 and verse 30, when you're

332
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:08,920
in tribulation and all these things come upon you in the latter days, you will return to

333
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,200
the Lord or Yehovah your God and obey his voice.

334
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,040
For Yehovah your God is a merciful God.

335
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,620
He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore

336
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:20,880
to them.

337
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,500
Same thing in Deuteronomy 29.

338
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:27,800
He tells them what he's going to do to them, all these curses.

339
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,800
And then in chapter 30 verse 1, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the

340
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,740
curse which I've set before you and you call them to mind among all the nations where Yehovah

341
00:20:37,740 --> 00:20:43,340
your God has driven you and return to Yehovah your God, you and your children and obey

342
00:20:43,340 --> 00:20:48,440
his voice in all that I command you today with all your heart and with all your soul.

343
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:49,960
Here it is again.

344
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:56,680
Then Yehovah your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you and he will gather you

345
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,680
again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.

346
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:07,000
And he goes on in verse 6 and says, and the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and

347
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,200
the heart of your offspring so that you will love the Lord your God, Yehovah your God with

348
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,620
all your heart and with all your soul so that you may live.

349
00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:23,040
And he goes on, he says in verse 15, see I have set before you today life and good, death

350
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,040
and evil.

351
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,560
If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today by loving the

352
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,480
Lord your God, by walking in his ways, by keeping his commandments and his statute center's

353
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,620
rules, then you shall live and multiply and the Lord your God will bless you in the land

354
00:21:38,620 --> 00:21:42,360
that you are entering to take possession of it.

355
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:46,560
But if your heart turns away, it's because they're there, Moses is reading them the riot

356
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,040
act, basically, and telling them, look, you got to do good.

357
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,280
You got to follow the rules.

358
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,320
Yeah, because he's your God.

359
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,360
Yehovah is your God.

360
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,960
Do it his way and he will bless you.

361
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,760
He will prosper you.

362
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,840
Just love him and obey him out of love.

363
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,400
But if you don't, here's what's going to happen.

364
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,720
You're going into this land and you know, here's what's going to happen if you don't

365
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,280
do what he says.

366
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:19,280
So he goes on to declare verse 19, I call heaven and earth to witness against you today

367
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,200
that I've set before you life and death, blessing and curse.

368
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,960
Therefore choose life that you and your offspring may live loving Yehovah your God, obeying

369
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,520
his voice and holding fast to him for he is your life and length of days that you may

370
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:39,000
dwell in the land that you have swore to your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob

371
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,040
to give to them.

372
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,320
So this is the promise.

373
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:50,040
And what he's saying is that he wants you to understand you've got a choice.

374
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:56,000
And you know, going back to Jeremiah 29, he's telling the people that have been sent to

375
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:02,800
Babylon, I know the thoughts I think toward you, their thoughts of peace, not of evil,

376
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,040
to give you an expected end, to give you a future and a hope.

377
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:13,080
And you shall call upon me and you shall go and pray unto me and I will hearken to you

378
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:18,280
and you shall seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.

379
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,280
That's the context.

380
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:25,080
It's in this place where they're already in trouble.

381
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,520
They and their fathers have been worshiping idols.

382
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:37,320
And it's very clear in Isaiah 59, he says in verse one, behold, Yehovah's hand is not

383
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,120
shortened that it cannot save or is ear dull that it cannot hear.

384
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:47,400
But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God and your sins have

385
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,620
hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.

386
00:23:50,620 --> 00:23:54,300
For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity.

387
00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:55,680
Your lips have spoken lies.

388
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,680
Your tongue mutters wickedness.

389
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,960
No one enters suit justly.

390
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:01,080
No one goes to law.

391
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,440
Honestly, they rely on empty pleas and they speak lies.

392
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,920
They conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.

393
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,760
And then the last half of verse six, it says their works are iniquity and deeds of violence

394
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:13,760
are in their hands.

395
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,000
Their feet run to evil and they're swift to shed innocent blood.

396
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,520
Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity.

397
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,960
And it goes on.

398
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,360
And verse 12 says, for our transgressions are multiplied before you and our sins testify

399
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:28,880
against us, for our transgressions are with us and we know our iniquities transgressing

400
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,840
and denying the Lord and turning back from following our God, speaking oppression and

401
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,880
revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.

402
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,720
So what's your heart doing?

403
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,880
This is about your heart.

404
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,960
Is your heart engaged with doing all the wrong stuff or is our heart engaged with doing the

405
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,200
right stuff with the Lord?

406
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,320
Or are we doing kind of half and half, halfhearted?

407
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,000
You were talking about your classical guitar and you felt like you were getting somewhere.

408
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,800
I remember when I was in school and I was learning to play the bassoon.

409
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,100
That's an unusual instrument.

410
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:13,400
And I was only halfhearted about it.

411
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,440
If I was the only bassoon player, I was first chair.

412
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,760
If there were two of us, I was second chair.

413
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,480
If there were three of us, I was third chair.

414
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,600
And there was one time that there were four of us and I was fourth chair.

415
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,600
Four bassoons.

416
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,600
Four bassoons.

417
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,600
That's amazing.

418
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,640
Yeah, it was.

419
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,040
But the bottom line is I was only halfhearted about it.

420
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,120
I was not practicing.

421
00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:36,180
I was not working at it.

422
00:25:36,180 --> 00:25:39,280
My heart wasn't in it like it should have been.

423
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,960
I wasn't ready to apply myself.

424
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,520
So I had other interests, right?

425
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,880
The choir was a bigger interest.

426
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,880
Yeah.

427
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,600
I didn't even get into choir until I had quit bassoon.

428
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,080
Oh, okay.

429
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:57,760
Yeah, I took it up again briefly as a senior because I thought I'm going to be a music

430
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:58,760
major.

431
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,400
I figured I had to go back to band.

432
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,320
But my point is I was halfhearted about it.

433
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,840
I wasn't putting my whole heart into it.

434
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,160
So there are things that we want to do.

435
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,700
Think about the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane.

436
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:17,860
And Jesus says, pray with me.

437
00:26:17,860 --> 00:26:19,200
And they all fell asleep.

438
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,200
Three times.

439
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,200
Yeah.

440
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,360
And sometimes that happens even when we're trying to seek the Lord in the middle of the

441
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:27,360
night.

442
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:28,360
Yes, that's true.

443
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:30,080
They fall asleep.

444
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,400
And you don't know you fall asleep until you wake up.

445
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,640
I know what Saru, Salvarud says.

446
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,200
Get up in the night, get a cup of tea.

447
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,960
Or that's the thing you do in their culture.

448
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:41,960
Right.

449
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,080
And or get yourself some coffee.

450
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,440
Just don't make it so strong where you can't get back to sleep after.

451
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,880
Yeah, whenever it's time.

452
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:56,680
But anyway, the point is that if you seek him with your whole heart, you'll be found

453
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,680
of him.

454
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,640
And sometimes we have to get a little bit desperate.

455
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,840
Sometimes it's kind of like hide and seek.

456
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,680
The Lord, he inspires us to follow him.

457
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:15,440
And then other things come along to distract us.

458
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,960
And we kind of forget about following like we should.

459
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,360
Like he designed us for you.

460
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:28,600
The design is for us to follow him, to flow with him, to be with him.

461
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:34,240
So the best time to follow him is when you have less distractions to start, which is

462
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,400
usually in the night.

463
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,400
Right.

464
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,400
When everybody else is asleep.

465
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,520
Or early morning.

466
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,520
Early morning.

467
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,960
You know, Jesus rose and went to prayer a great while before day.

468
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:50,440
So it's those hours before the morning, before everybody else wakes up.

469
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,440
Yeah.

470
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,600
So if your eyes pop open in the night, just get up and pray.

471
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,840
There's a reason for it.

472
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,840
Yes.

473
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,080
And you accomplish something.

474
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,240
And sometimes he'll lay certain things on your heart to pray about.

475
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,300
And sometimes you just pray in tongues.

476
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:09,120
And sometimes you just be still.

477
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:10,480
Or you just worship.

478
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,480
Or worship.

479
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,080
And the being still is the part where I tend to fall asleep.

480
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,480
Yeah, that's true.

481
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:23,120
Sometimes I walk to keep myself from falling asleep if I get up in the night.

482
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:24,400
And I'm not super spiritual.

483
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,640
I don't do that all the time.

484
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,600
But once in a while, the Lord lays it on my heart.

485
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,940
But I do want to seek him with all my heart.

486
00:28:32,940 --> 00:28:38,440
And I do want to find him because there are things that he has for us that he's waiting

487
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,760
for us to let go of the distractions.

488
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,360
We had a time of fasting here recently.

489
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:56,800
And in the fast, I stopped looking at certain news apps that was keeping me up to date on

490
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,760
certain things that were going on.

491
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,080
I just stopped.

492
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,520
And I haven't gone back to it.

493
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,520
And I feel good about that.

494
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,560
Because I found that I was being distracted.

495
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,240
You're taking a lot of extra time.

496
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,240
Yeah.

497
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:17,200
So the Lord is trying to help us, the Holy Spirit is trying to help us to get focused.

498
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,560
Because there's different kinds of light.

499
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,900
You've got these lights that are quite diffused.

500
00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:27,160
For instance, okay, like at night, these farm lights, we live on a farm, right, out in the

501
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,620
country.

502
00:29:28,620 --> 00:29:32,200
And for years, we just had mercury vapor lamps.

503
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:38,000
And they're just a bluish light with a slow frequency.

504
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,840
But now we've got some of these LED lights.

505
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:41,840
And they're sharp.

506
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,380
They're very bright.

507
00:29:43,380 --> 00:29:46,800
And your shadows are very sharp and defined.

508
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,240
Yeah, that was, remember you pointed it out.

509
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,360
And I thought, yeah, you know, you're right.

510
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,960
Yeah, I think it has to do with the frequency.

511
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,640
But anyway, you know, my point is that there's kind of like diffused light, and then there's

512
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,020
sharp light.

513
00:30:00,020 --> 00:30:05,120
There's even laser light that's very focused, and it'll burn right through things.

514
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,980
So the Lord is trying to focus us.

515
00:30:09,980 --> 00:30:14,280
Sometimes He wants us to be diffused, right, so that we're shining big.

516
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:20,640
But I think He would rather have us shine bigger with a more focused light.

517
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,640
You know what I'm talking about?

518
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,600
Am I making sense?

519
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:30,800
It's about this seeking Him has to do with He wants to be found of you.

520
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,980
He wants you to find Him.

521
00:30:33,980 --> 00:30:39,120
And it's up to you to make that choice really on a moment by moment basis.

522
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,120
Yes.

523
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:45,400
Because He wants us to be operating with Him, flowing with Him.

524
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:53,300
You know, 2 Chronicles chapter 6, verses 37 to 39, where Solomon is praying at the dedication

525
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:55,400
of the temple.

526
00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:01,140
And he's talking about one of these situations where the children of Israel might be in some

527
00:31:01,140 --> 00:31:02,140
other land.

528
00:31:02,140 --> 00:31:05,640
Now that had never happened yet in Solomon's time.

529
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,880
But he was going back to what the Lord had said three times that I just pointed out to

530
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:16,560
you from Leviticus and twice in Deuteronomy, three times where God warns the people, you're

531
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,120
going to be sent to some other land.

532
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,960
You're going to be scattered to the nations if you don't do what I've told you to do.

533
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:29,840
So, Solomon is praying this, yet if they turn their heart in the land to which they've been

534
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:35,000
carried captive and repent and plead with you in the land of their captivity saying,

535
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,720
we have sinned and have acted perversely and wickedly.

536
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:44,240
If they repent with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity

537
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,200
to which they were carried captive and pray toward their land, which you gave to their

538
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,960
fathers, the city that you've chosen and the house that I've built for your name, then

539
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:59,000
hear from heaven, your dwelling place, their prayers and their pleas and maintain their

540
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,220
cause and forgive your people who have sinned against you.

541
00:32:03,220 --> 00:32:09,280
And he's praying all these different prayers about if people will pray toward this place,

542
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:10,280
hear from heaven.

543
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,960
He's asking God to hear from heaven.

544
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:17,160
And then just a couple of verses later, the glory falls and the people can't stand up.

545
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,280
They all fall to their knees.

546
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:26,360
So Psalm 91 verse 15 says, he shall call upon me and I will answer him.

547
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,880
I will be with him in trouble.

548
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,080
I will deliver him and honor him.

549
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:36,560
God is looking for these wholehearted people or these people who have gone off the rails

550
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:41,520
and realize they've gone off the rails and they come back to him.

551
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:51,760
There's a difference between conviction of sin and repentance and being shamed and self-loathing.

552
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:57,840
Because when you find yourself off the rails, when you find that you've, oh, I really made

553
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:04,360
a stupid mistake and I fell into some kind of sin, I've done something I shouldn't have

554
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,360
done.

555
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:12,560
God wants us to recognize that we've made this mistake and repent.

556
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,800
Repent means to turn around and go back the way you should be going.

557
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,880
You return to him.

558
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,120
And that's repentance.

559
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,760
That's being restored to him.

560
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:30,240
There's a hope of expectation and expectation of restoration.

561
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,000
It restores the relationship.

562
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,440
He forgives.

563
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,520
He's always looking to forgive us.

564
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,480
He's trying to draw us back to him when we've dropped the ball.

565
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:49,600
But the tempter, the one that operates in darkness, he'll tempt you into sin and then

566
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:56,000
he'll smear you and slime you and make you feel so awful.

567
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,840
That is not conviction.

568
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:58,840
That is shame.

569
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,040
Very well put.

570
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:06,000
So our Father brings conviction, the Holy Spirit brings conviction.

571
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,780
And with conviction is a drawing back.

572
00:34:09,780 --> 00:34:11,480
Come back to me.

573
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,060
Come back to me.

574
00:34:13,060 --> 00:34:15,000
Come back to me.

575
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,160
If you seek him with your heart, with your whole heart, you will find him.

576
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,160
Yeah.

577
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:27,560
Remember, there was this amazing worship leader that his music was just, it was so powerful,

578
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,320
the worship.

579
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,260
And he went big.

580
00:34:31,260 --> 00:34:37,400
He was on big platforms and went overseas and power of God just moved.

581
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:45,000
But on the road, his wife wasn't there and he fell into adultery.

582
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,560
And so he's out of ministry.

583
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:52,080
And one day he's sitting, he's just sitting in his bed and Jesus appears at the end of

584
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,600
the bed and says, I'm waiting for you.

585
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,600
Are you ready to come back?

586
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,600
Are you ready to come back?

587
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,440
And he did.

588
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,440
Yeah.

589
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,440
Well, the Lord wants us to come back.

590
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,240
Yeah, God forgives.

591
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:06,240
Man doesn't.

592
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:07,240
That's true.

593
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:08,240
Makes it tough.

594
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:09,240
Yeah.

595
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:10,320
I mean, it's better not to fall.

596
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,320
That's the point.

597
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,320
It's better not to fall.

598
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,880
Better not to fall because it, yeah.

599
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:19,000
And it's good to seek him with your whole heart to keep you from falling.

600
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:24,280
And the tempter will always put something in your path at the right time or the wrong

601
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,440
time which can cause you to mess up.

602
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,440
Yep.

603
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,720
And it reminds me of Rick Joyner's book, The Final Quest.

604
00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:36,880
And there's a chapter where there, this is dreams and visions that he had on a continual

605
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,760
basis and they're in this mountain fighting and all that.

606
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:48,720
And he almost slips, you know, and fall down and an angel that was there said to him, you

607
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:49,920
know, you have to be careful.

608
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,880
You can fall from any level at any time.

609
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:53,880
Yeah.

610
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,200
And we've seen greats fall.

611
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,200
Haven't we?

612
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,200
Especially recently.

613
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,200
Yeah.

614
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,200
All these things have been uncovered.

615
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,720
And great was the fall of it.

616
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:02,720
Yeah.

617
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:06,640
And it's not just that person that falls, but it's everything that surrounds around

618
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,800
it pays the price for their mistake.

619
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:10,800
Right.

620
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:11,800
Right.

621
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,800
And it brings shame on the whole church.

622
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,840
Shame on the whole church.

623
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,560
And then your people talk, your relatives will talk, see, that's what you, didn't we

624
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,040
warn you about going there?

625
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:27,120
So the Lord is looking for us to return with our whole heart and repent with our whole

626
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,120
heart.

627
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,120
Yes.

628
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:36,800
We can also repent on behalf of others like Daniel in Daniel chapter nine, he comes with

629
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:43,760
repentance because he sees, he sees that the 70 years have passed, the 70 years that Jeremiah

630
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,320
prophesied in the scripture that we started with.

631
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,540
Daniel says, Oh God, please forgive.

632
00:36:50,540 --> 00:36:54,520
And he goes down the whole list of all the things that he was godly.

633
00:36:54,520 --> 00:37:00,240
He didn't fall into those things, but he, he spoke it as though he was, he became an

634
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:04,120
intercessor and begged for God to forgive.

635
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,680
And God was listening.

636
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,240
You will seek me and you will find me when you search for me with all your hearts.

637
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:12,600
That's what happened with Daniel.

638
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,200
He did that.

639
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:21,560
So the thing that I also am impressed with is back in Isaiah 59, we were in Isaiah 59

640
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:27,320
earlier talking about it's your, it's your iniquities that have made a separation between

641
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:28,480
you and your God.

642
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:29,480
Okay.

643
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:37,680
So going back to that in verse 16, he saw that there was no man and wondered that there

644
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,120
was no one to intercede.

645
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:45,120
Now Daniel was an intercessor, but he's looking at a bigger picture, I think in Isaiah 59

646
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,360
because Daniel hadn't happened yet.

647
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:48,400
Right?

648
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:53,340
So in Isaiah 59, he's probably looking at something other than that.

649
00:37:53,340 --> 00:37:57,840
So he saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no one to intercede.

650
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:03,800
Then his own arm brought him salvation and his righteousness upheld him.

651
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:09,320
He put on righteousness as a breastplate and a helmet of salvation on his head.

652
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:15,600
He put on garments of vengeance for clothing and wrapped himself in zeal as a cloak.

653
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:21,440
According to their deeds, so will he repay wrath to his adversaries, repayment to his

654
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,200
enemies to the coastlands.

655
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:24,900
Will he render repayment?

656
00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:31,040
So they shall fear the name of Yehovah from the West and his glory from the rising of

657
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:36,900
the sun, for he will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the Lord Yehovah drives.

658
00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:44,960
Verse 20, and a redeemer will come to Zion to those in Jacob who turned from their transgression,

659
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:51,480
there's the Lord Yehovah as for me, this is my covenant with them, says the Lord, my spirit

660
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:56,240
that is upon you and my words that I've put in your mouth shall not depart out of your

661
00:38:56,240 --> 00:39:00,760
mouth or out of the mouth of your offspring or out of the mouth of your children's offspring,

662
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,480
says the Lord Yehovah from this time forth and forevermore.

663
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:13,400
So what's happening here is he's describing what happened in Isaiah 53 where the Messiah

664
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,720
comes to pay the price.

665
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:24,160
He puts on the helmet of salvation, he puts on that Yeshua head and he goes out to be

666
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:34,360
the Yeshua and his arm, remember it said, then his own arm brought him Yeshua, his own

667
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,480
arm brought him salvation.

668
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:44,640
So the arms of Jesus were stretched out on the cross and he became their redeemer.

669
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:50,800
So in Acts chapter 8, Philip is explaining to the Ethiopian eunuch about Jesus being

670
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:56,040
the Messiah who suffered for us in fulfillment of the description he was reading in the Isaiah

671
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,060
scroll from chapter 53 because that's what he was reading.

672
00:40:00,060 --> 00:40:05,460
And he's explaining to this Ethiopian eunuch that it's Jesus.

673
00:40:05,460 --> 00:40:09,740
This is Jesus, this Isaiah 53 is talking about Jesus.

674
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:15,680
He came as our Messiah, he came as the son of God and as they're going along in the chariot,

675
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,000
here's some water.

676
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,620
And the Ethiopian asks to be baptized.

677
00:40:21,620 --> 00:40:28,560
And Philip says, if you believe with all your heart, you may.

678
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,000
Then he answered, I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God.

679
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:38,220
So the believing that we do results in something.

680
00:40:38,220 --> 00:40:40,560
It results in an act.

681
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,680
In this case, it's the act of baptism.

682
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,160
Maybe you haven't been baptized yet.

683
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:47,640
Have you been baptized?

684
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:48,840
I'm talking to the listeners.

685
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,500
I know you have, Philip.

686
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:53,160
And the thing is this, I've been baptized many times.

687
00:40:53,160 --> 00:41:01,380
I've found that I feel a leading of the Holy Spirit that if I have a significant moment

688
00:41:01,380 --> 00:41:07,320
in my life where my situation changes, like when I became the vice president of this ministry,

689
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,760
and then again, when I became the president of this ministry, I felt it was right for

690
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,360
me to be baptized.

691
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:19,120
It just new and fresh because it's a moment that is at the beginning of something brand

692
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,120
new.

693
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,120
Yeah.

694
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:26,440
Well, when the families came up to Jerusalem for the three different feasts, they would,

695
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,440
the mikvahs were there and they'd be baptized.

696
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:30,440
Exactly.

697
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:35,120
So if they went to the feast, all three feasts, they'd get baptized three times that year.

698
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,120
Exactly.

699
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:37,640
So it's not just a once.

700
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,280
When I'm 12 years old, I got baptized.

701
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,640
But I've been baptized in Jordan.

702
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:50,160
The same thing with you whenever walking in a food dispensation, we would get baptized.

703
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,760
And we baptized, I baptized many in Jordan too.

704
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:54,760
Yes.

705
00:41:54,760 --> 00:42:00,040
So that's exciting to watch the power of God hit people when they're going under the water.

706
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,120
Yes.

707
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,500
And something happens when you're seeking the Lord with all of your heart and baptism

708
00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:10,920
kind of shuts the door to the old and opens the door to the new.

709
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,040
And that is a sign.

710
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:18,800
One of our staff just got back from Pakistan and it's Muslim.

711
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,040
And that's one of the biggest things when people go to get baptized publicly.

712
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,040
Yeah.

713
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:29,480
They know that could be their whole life has changed and some will probably get killed

714
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:30,480
over it.

715
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:31,480
Yeah.

716
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:32,480
Yeah.

717
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,480
They from their own families.

718
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,480
Right.

719
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,480
Right.

720
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:36,480
So sometimes it's better to not do it publicly.

721
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:37,840
Yeah.

722
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,360
But there is something that happens.

723
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,360
There is a change that takes place when you're baptized.

724
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:47,720
And in the Jewish culture, one of the times that you're baptized is just prior to your

725
00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:48,980
wedding.

726
00:42:48,980 --> 00:42:53,480
So the bride and the groom are baptized right before their wedding.

727
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,720
So it's like a sign of you are now the bride of Christ.

728
00:42:57,720 --> 00:42:58,720
Yeah.

729
00:42:58,720 --> 00:42:59,720
And you're the Anabaptists.

730
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:00,720
Oh, yeah.

731
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:01,720
Yeah.

732
00:43:01,720 --> 00:43:09,000
That's the story of, you know, from the time of Constantine, it was accepted to sprinkle

733
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,240
in order to be baptized because there were so many people in his army that he didn't

734
00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:16,020
have time to douse everybody underwater.

735
00:43:16,020 --> 00:43:17,200
And so they just sprinkled.

736
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,200
They just made an adjustment.

737
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,760
And is that where that came from?

738
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:20,760
Yeah.

739
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,880
And that was how sprinkling began.

740
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,920
And it came down through the church as well.

741
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,000
This is how we baptize.

742
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,000
We do it by sprinkling.

743
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:34,120
And a tradition overtook what the reality of what immersion really is.

744
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:41,000
And when people started reading the Bible for themselves, they discovered, oh, well,

745
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,120
baptism is something that you do when you have become a believer.

746
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:51,360
And you know, when they first came with that understanding, I'm not sure exactly when that

747
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:52,360
was.

748
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,120
It was part of the Reformation.

749
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:59,720
The Anabaptists, Anabaptist means baptized again because you were baptized as a baby.

750
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,600
You don't need it anymore.

751
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:06,000
And they said, no, this is what the scriptures are teaching that you should be baptized when

752
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,280
you are a believer.

753
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,920
And that's how that came to be.

754
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:15,080
It's like be dedicated when you're young, which is what Jesus was on the eighth day,

755
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,080
wasn't it?

756
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,000
Yeah, he was circumcised on the eighth day, and that's when he was named.

757
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:24,200
And then when the number of days of Mary's purification happened, they took him to the

758
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,580
temple.

759
00:44:25,580 --> 00:44:30,280
And that's when he met Anna and Simeon and they prophesied over him.

760
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,480
And so, you know, there are steps that you do.

761
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:39,480
The point is, the point is follow him with all of your heart.

762
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:47,240
Luke 11, 9 through 13, Jesus says, and I tell you, ask and it will be given to you.

763
00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:49,240
Seek and you will find.

764
00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:50,720
Knock and it will be open to you.

765
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:57,240
For everyone who asks, and I think in the Greek, it's like asks and keeps on asking.

766
00:44:57,240 --> 00:44:59,760
It's the idea of persistence.

767
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:05,280
Everyone who asks receives and the one who seeks finds.

768
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,600
And to the one who knocks, it will be opened.

769
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,280
What father among you, if his son asked for a fish, will instead of a fish, give him a

770
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,280
serpent?

771
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,000
Or if he asks for an egg, we'll give him a scorpion.

772
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,640
If you then who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more

773
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,400
will the heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

774
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:29,600
So if you are seeking the Holy Spirit, if you're seeking the baptism in the Holy Spirit,

775
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:34,220
he wants to give it to you even more than you want it.

776
00:45:34,220 --> 00:45:37,400
So just receive by faith.

777
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,560
Absolutely give yourself to him.

778
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,420
He wants to fill you to overflowing.

779
00:45:43,420 --> 00:45:49,520
He wants to impart to you things that you don't even know to ask for.

780
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,000
Just keep pursuing him.

781
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,360
Keep seeking, keep finding him with all your heart.

782
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,880
And then if you have a prodigal, maybe you have someone in your family or someone that

783
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,280
you love that needs to come back to God.

784
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,640
So here's a promise for you to pray from Jeremiah 24 seven.

785
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,680
Don't you love that 24 seven?

786
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,960
So you can keep praying it continually 24 seven.

787
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:19,600
He says, I will give them a heart to know me that I am the Lord, that I am Yehovah and

788
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:26,240
they shall be my people and I will be their God for they shall return unto me with their

789
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:28,280
whole heart.

790
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,260
Just pray that over your loved one.

791
00:46:31,260 --> 00:46:34,600
Pray them back in because the Lord is drawing.

792
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,360
He's absolutely drawing them and he will bring them in.

793
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:39,360
Yeah.

794
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:40,360
Hallelujah.

795
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:41,360
Let's pray.

796
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:49,280
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, as we come before you, Lord, we want to have a brand

797
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:57,000
new fresh anointing to seek you with our whole hearts, to seek you for our nation, to seek

798
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,880
you for your purposes, to be accomplished in our loved ones and our families, in our

799
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:07,760
nation, our communities, Lord and for Israel, Lord, that your purposes will be accomplished

800
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:08,760
there.

801
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:15,540
And we ask you to ignite our hearts, pour out your spirit on us with your great mighty

802
00:47:15,540 --> 00:47:21,460
outpouring that will cause us to seek you with all of our hearts, to lay aside every

803
00:47:21,460 --> 00:47:28,560
distraction to go fully for you, to live for you, to dedicate ourselves, to humble ourselves

804
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:35,760
before you and to be filled with your spirit new and fresh in a glorious way, because that's

805
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:40,520
what you want to do in these days to pour out your spirit on all flesh.

806
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:46,360
Lord, we ask you to equip us as we move forward so that we will be ready to do the things

807
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,240
you give us to do as you pour out your spirit on all flesh.

808
00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:55,240
In Jesus' name.

809
00:47:55,240 --> 00:47:57,960
Amen.
