(303) “Jesus Is the Cup of Life” with Dean Braxton

0:00 And there's so many things that was given for the tabernacle and the temple that was really Jesus, period. Wow. Was really Jesus. And it amazes me how much God was preparing us on the planet through the Jewish people for the arrival of his son to be able to put us back in the right order. God promises in Joel 2 .28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that promise outpouring, we equip for that outpouring, so that we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to the podcast today. We have with us today our dear friend, Dean Braxton. And you may remember from the previous episode with him, I think it was 291, that we took him with us to Jerusalem and showed him some things that he's been wanting to see ever since he came back. from heaven.

1:09 You know, he's the one that we know that went to heaven for an hour and 45 minutes. And this time we're having a discussion about the cup that he saw in the museum of the Temple Institute and the cup that he saw in heaven. And he's putting the pieces together and connecting the dots for us. And it really boils down to Jesus is that cup of life for us. Thank you so much for joining us today. We're delighted that you're with us. We're going to have an amazing, amazing discussion with Dean Braxton.

So download that and help us to pray over these things as people send them into us and become a part of this community. It's wonderful because God wants to pour out His Spirit and He wants to use you. Let's join our discussion with Dean Braxton now. Well, Dean, it's such a wonderful, wonderful privilege for us to have you back again with us, and we are so excited to hear what you're going to unpack out of your experience with us in Jerusalem, the things that you saw that relate to heaven, and the things of heaven being done on earth as it is in heaven, like the Lord's Prayer says.

3:22 So welcome to this episode, and we just are so glad that you're with us. Well, it's great to be with you, Sharon and Phil, because you've become great friends of mine. And not just good friends, but great friends. And I enjoy ministering with you. Maybe some people say for you, but in the reality, when we're together, we're ministering together. Amen. And I love that. Yeah, help each other. You know, the only other person, you know, I feel that connection with a lot of times is, you know, Tony Camp. Oh, yeah. You know, me and him are really good friends. And I feel like I've always told people if he's ministering in one place, I'm there with him spiritually. And if I'm ministering somewhere, he's with me spiritually.

4:07 You know, can't explain it to the fullness, but that's how I feel what you would feel. If you guys are working somewhere, I feel a part of whatever you're doing, wherever you're at. Vice versa, I feel like you guys are with me. And it's an honor to me to be able to share the things that I'm getting ready to share today. And I thank God that he used you guys to open up the door to a question that I had from the day I came back to be on this planet from dying for one hour and 45 minutes. I just put that in there for the people that have never heard the story. They can go online and look it up. And, you know, I always say this. It's not to prove I'm right or anything like that. But I always say to people, you know, I really died. The medical records said I died for one hour and 45 minutes. I went to be with the Father and Jesus in heaven. And I got to experience a lot of things in heaven.

4:57 And now I get to come back to the planet and tell people about it. And it's not to enhance myself, but it really is to enhance the people that are hearing this, that make them the best they can be on this planet so that they can reach God's goals for their lives and impact other people's lives. That's the main reason for this. And so I say all that so that anyone that's listening, you know, this is really like God coming to you with a gift and said, here, I got a package for you and I'm going to open it up and show you and tell you some things about it. Awesome. Awesome. That reminds me about, you know, you mentioned Tony Kemp. He's the one that introduced us to you. Yeah. It's because he said, you need to meet Dean Braxton. You need to read his book before you meet him. Yeah, and that was during COVID. In a shopping mall that was shut down.

5:53 Yeah, you're right. Except for us. I can just remember us standing outside in that parking lot and the connection was there from day one. And we knew we were... bound together to go forward. And we knew it, you know, and it was good, you know. I've shared with people, you know, when we first met you, where you were giving us some books. So we're in the parking lot. I'm holding this box of books for about an hour while you're talking. And then I put the box down and, you know, you continue on for another hour. It was awesome. It was just awesome. Yeah. And then I think it's solidified when I got to see you guys and feel you had that tray set. Oh, yeah.

6:34 I was thinking, this is one of my deepest enjoyments. I don't get to do it. But I always say my father blesses me in so many ways. And that was a blessing to see that train set and to see how it operated. It was like, wow. The little kid inside of me was coming out and enjoying that train set. Well, we've made some improvements since you were here last, so you'll have to come again. Oh, I bet you have. Sometime we'll post a video on it. out there. There you go. There you go. Yeah. So the other thing I wanted to mention is, before we get started, that we are really looking forward to having you at Convention 2026 again. You were with us last year and it was wonderful. And we're so glad that you're coming back again as one of our speakers. So I just want to encourage people to come to this event. It's, yeah, we're going to stream it, but it's not the same as being there. Do you agree? Yes. I agree with you 100%. It's probably the closest I've been on the planet when you had so many different cultures come together to praise the Lord and win accord. Where are you going to get that type of experience on the planet? You're not. I travel.

7:47 You travel. We go all over the place. And usually wherever we go, they praise God in such a fashion that's really amazing. But to have them all come together and do it? Oh, no. That's something you cannot buy. You understand? I mean, you could probably get a recording and try to, but it's different being there than watching, you know, we saw the people from China, India, you know, the people from New Zealand, you know, all the different cultures coming together there and then giving God praise together. And that's the way it's going to be in heaven. And, you know, it's going to be all these different people from all these different tribes, from all these different areas, telling our Father all at one time. how much we love him in the unique ways that we are made. And it's going to be fantastic. I encourage everybody. You know, I'm bringing some people myself. Good. That's awesome. I think it's so important that I got about three people that I'm bringing, you know. And what I mean by bring, I'm paying their whole way to get there. I'm going to pay for the registration. I'm paying for the rooms. I'm paying for everything for them to be there because I think it's that important for them to be at the conference. And so then I encourage a lot of my friends that especially live in that area. You got to come. You got to come. You know what I mean? You know, I could try to describe it in words, but the reality of it is it's experience. And experiences are hard to describe in words. True. Yeah. True.

9:18 And especially when it changes you on the inside, changes the way you think, changes the way you act, changes your speech. Yes. That's what this is all about is that we keep going deeper. We keep expanding in our experience and expanding in our relationship with the Lord and just going more and more and more. toward him, because he's going more and more toward us, right? Yes. And that's what, you know, if we're going to walk in the real realm of heaven, like we're supposed to, we're going to find out that nothing is deteriorating. Everything is expanding. You know, and I've said this before, and both of you heard it, when you get there, you have joy. But the next moment, you have more joy. And the next moment, you have more joy. And the next moment, we are literally created for that. Our flesh tries to get in the way of things for us growing like that. You know, and it is at war with our spirit. But in reality, we were created to be like anything that lives, we expand. Everything gets, I don't use the word better because it's not bad where you're at.

10:21 Right. That's good. That's good. It's just more so. It's good there. For the next moment. it's even greater than it was before. The closest I could come is that scripture that I kind of flow in as we move from glory to glory. You know what I mean? And when we move into that next glory area, it's not like the glory we were just in, but that was not bad glory to be in. Very well said. I remember that one saying that I've already left, but I haven't arrived yet. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. That's good. And you know, it's, So amazing that we're created for that. That's our natural environment. It's almost like getting in a river. I know you guys know this and sitting in an inner tube and just letting the river take you down and floating. And that's what I believe moving in that type of round.

11:12 And that's what the conference gives people too. It gives them opportunity to get in their inner tube, sit in the river and just float with the flow. Awesome. Awesome. That's beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful. So let's go to Jerusalem now. We were in Jerusalem together in November, and you were exploding on the inside with what was connecting for you with what your experience was in heaven. So why don't you just carry on? We were just listening to the podcast that you did with us before. And by the way, we put all of the links. To all of the podcasts that we've ever done with Dean, and I think it's probably 16 at least already, and that just blows my mind. But we put the links to those in the show notes, in the description, so that you can go back and listen to other things that have been unpacked for us about how it is in heaven and let that sink into your experience on earth. So ever since you came back from heaven, you were wanting to see what it was like in Israel.

12:18 and what the Jewish people or the Israelites were acting out on earth. Yeah, I wanted to have a closer connection to Jerusalem and Israel, because when I was in heaven, there was many things that I saw there that I really believe the Jewish people or those people that walk in the knowledge of God there, they know. And I think we were supposed to know. I think there's many things that are written in the Bible that Paul wrote. use him as an example, that he expected us to already know. So he didn't go into detail and try to explain it. Like any of us, someone that knows airplanes, you know, when they're describing an airplane, there's certain things that they'll just say. They won't go into detail and try to explain what that is. And people that know airplanes know exactly what they're talking about. And I think that that's what it was with Paul when he was writing many. of the things that we read, or even, I got to say, all of them.

13:22 Everyone that wrote something in the Bible kind of thought we knew something already about God. And so when I was in heaven, I was looking at all these things that were taking place and getting that information. And then when I came back to the planet, I just felt like the Jewish culture, as I had called it all the way up to that moment, and many people do call it even today, is really the heavenly culture. And it first starts in heaven. And to really understand the details that God, because he's a detailed God, had placed within the Jewish, within the Bible really, but really within the Jewish foundation that we stand on, you've got to understand it came from heaven.

14:05 And so I was wanting to go to Jerusalem and you guys, God brought you in my life to help me link myself to that area so that I could start connecting the dots, as you want to say it. And when I was there with you guys for those days, you know, I think it was nine days, we went all over the place and saw so much. And I was connecting dots from all over the things. But it's detailed dots. It's not little bitty dots here and little bitty dots there. They're detailed because God's a detailed God. In heaven, you find out there's nothing created. just to be created. You know, there's things on the planet that we do sometimes, we just do because we just want to do it, but they have no meaning to them. But in heaven, everything has a meaning. And listen to this.

14:50 This is very important for people to hear. It's a godly meaning. So you think about that. It's just not a meaning. It's a godly meaning. Amen. Which means that the smallest thing could be a whole universe of thanking within it because of what it means in God, you know? So I share that with you because there were so many things in heaven that I experienced that now I'm in Jerusalem and I'm seeing. You know, one of the scriptures I want to bring out because I want to talk about it, it comes from Hebrews 8 chapter. This is kind of the foundation I'm coming from. And it says this, who served unto the example and the... shadows of the heavenly things. As Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle for see, say, he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shown to thee in the mount. Now that's in the King James. And they're making some people probably think, Dean, why are you using that one? So let's use this one. Okay. The place where they serve is a sketch. I like this one. Oh, that's good.

16:06 Okay. The place where they serve is a sketch, a shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he said, see that you make. according to the design shown to you on the mountain. Which God was saying, hey, I'm giving you a sign or taking material here on the planet. And you got to understand, he's taking material that is deteriorating and he's using that material that's deteriorating to show an eternal realm. Wow. And he's telling Moses, do it the way I tell you. Because God is a detailed God. I found that out when I was there. And in that detail, everything, there is no minor creation of God.

16:59 You know what I mean? We as human beings want to compare things and say, that's less than this. In God's kingdom, everything is great. Hard for us to grasp that everything can be great. But in God's kingdom, everything is great. And so the things that the Jewish people were given to form that tabernacle at that time and later on incorporate some of those things into the temple worship, okay, were great things. There is no minor thing there. Everything that they were told to do was great. One of the first things that I really wanted to talk about is the utensils that were used. And one of the utensils, which is really not... describe i tried to find it in the bible in many places but it's really not described in detail that much i think it's one of those things again we were opposed to already know to be honest And it was really used for what they called the drink offering. And it was the cup or the chalice or whatever you want to say that was used to pour the drink offering.

18:07 The material that it was made of, we know was gold. You know what I mean? We know it was overlaid with gold. We know that God had a reason for the goldness. I was reading in the Bible and reading some of the other people and what they were saying about how the pureness of gold, that's why he used gold, you know. And we can... We can relate to that in a sense of the pureness of the Father, the pureness of Jesus Christ, the pureness of the Holy Spirit. And this is even better, the pureness of us because of them. Wow. You know what I mean? When we come into that knowledge to know that we're pure because they're pure. Oh, no, that's a whole different story. And somebody, I just felt like someone got their prayer answered by listening to that.

18:52 I don't know who you are. I don't know what you're thinking. But somebody all of a sudden just went like a rocket up into space. That hit them so hard that they're saying, wow, that was something. Please contact us. One of the scenes I saw there that I want to describe, this is one of my scenes that when I was with the Father Jesus in heaven, it was during... Well, it wasn't doing just worship. It was continuously. I could say that, but it was worship. And it was done by two different creations of God or beings of God or people that used to be on the planet and were redeemed. One was Abraham and the other one was Mary. Okay. And they both seem to be doing the same thing there. Now, the significance of Abraham doing it and Mary is probably more than I could describe in this one show. All right. I say we were worshiping the Father. True worship is doing the will of God. So you're always worshiping him because you're doing his will. Yes. And even on the planet, most people don't realize, like, we're right now doing this. This is his will to get the gospel out, the good news out. And we're worshiping him by doing this. He's taking this in as worship.

20:05 That's profound. To say, hey, I wonder if they're going to. No, you're worshiping. Anytime you do his will, you're worshiping him. And so I'm watching Abraham and I saw Mary do it also. And they went to what I call liquid light. Okay. It was light, but it was liquid. And the liquid is the closest I could come to describing the substance that they were handling. All right. And they just didn't have it in their hands, cupped in their hands. They had a utensil that they were using to raise it up to God Almighty. And they were offering it to him. And I knew it was worship. That's the closest I could say at the moment. No one turned around and described to me why or what they were doing and what it meant. I just knew it was worship. And that was good enough for me. And it was liquid. The light, if it was poured out of the container they had, it would have looked like water to us. But it was light. It wasn't liquid that... look like light. It was light that was liquid. Oh, wow.

21:16 That's cool. So I have that picture in my head all this time. And I'm wondering what I knew it was a great honor. I knew it was these are human words that I'm using right now. You know, I knew it was something that was magnificent, more than I could ever express in human words in worshiping the father, because that's who they were. They were both doing it with the father, you know, and and I thought to myself. oh, this is something. Here I come back on the planet with that in my head. There's a lot of things I had in my head that I kind of like, I ain't gonna say I put on the shelf, but I put them in the background because I couldn't describe them. I didn't know what they were for. I didn't know what was happening at that time. And then we go to Jerusalem and I'm in Jerusalem and we go through the museum. Remember the museum? The Temple Institute. Yeah, the Temple Institute.

22:09 And we're going from place to place, and I'm exploding mostly in there. Yeah, we could tell. And I'll be honest with you. I thought when I got to Jerusalem, I'll look around and see things. And museums and me have never been friends. I've never been a guy to go into a museum and enjoy a museum, be honest with you. I love history. And if you tell me about things, I enjoy it. Here I am in this museum, and I'm like, I cannot live in here. This is too much for me. Wow. And they're going through the different things that they're doing to get ready, you know, to rebuild this temple and they're describing things. And almost every word is like, I had a bomb blowing off on the inside of me. And one of the things that they had in there, it's very simple, was a cup, a chalice, you know, a little thing there.

23:00 And it was like, oh my God. This is the representation of what Mary and Abraham was doing. And I said, oh, my God, this is amazing. You know what I mean? I could have laid out on the floor right there and just closed my eyes and not get up. But, you know, we only paid for a certain amount of time. And so they would have said, get this man out of there. But here I am looking at this cup that they have, which they think is just going to be part of their ritual that they usually do. And I'm understanding the significance of it in a more deeper way. That this simple cup, the way they had made it and everything, it was more significant than you could imagine. And I don't want to say it was greater than anything there, okay? But I want to say that all of a sudden it exploded on the inside of me. I saw Mary using this. I saw Abraham using this as to give that liquid light and offer it up to the Father. And it was like, wow. I have a couple of connectors here from the scripture. I think that perhaps the reason why you saw Mary and Abraham doing that with the cup is because when Abraham had God and the two angels visit him.

24:28 before Sodom and Gomorrah, he was hospitable and he took care of their needs. I don't know that it says that he gave them wine, but I remember that he said, hurry up and take this kid and dress it in butter. He fed God meat and dairy at the same time. So I really don't think this whole kosher thing is an issue. But anyway, sorry, that was an aside. He was hospitable. That was one of the things that he was known for. And when you remember that Melchizedek came out and greeted him with bread and wine. Yes. Okay, so there would have been a cup there also. And then Mary, at the wedding of Cana, Mary was the one who stepped up and said, hey, they're running out of wine. You need to do something. He says, it's not my time yet. I see this, and Sister Gwen used to teach it this way, our founder.

25:23 She said that Mary reached into the future and pulled it into the present because she knew that he was a miracle worker, that he was called to be a miracle worker. And she pulled it into the present to save the day for this wedding. Wow. So I think her involvement with hospitality at this wedding enabled her to. Like she was already doing on earth as she would be doing in heaven in the future. So that's what I'm seeing as a connection to those particular two people that were doing that. You know, by you saying that, in heaven, servanthood is the top. Yes. You know what I mean? Yes. And if we were to rank things, it was to be the greatest servant you can be.

26:08 Okay? Both of those examples that you share with me are servanthood. Both of them are servanthood. And in saying that to you, we can go throughout the Bible and we'll find again, any of those incidents where a cup was used was usually in servanthood. Yeah, that would make sense. Okay. That would make sense. And so I'm saying that to you because I'm looking at this as that cup or that chalice, whatever we want to call it, is very insignificant to most people. It's not a primary object that most people would look at. You wouldn't think of that object as being tabernacle or temple. That's right. And you wouldn't look at it as the sense of being a major part of the tabernacle. And yet its service is very huge. You know what I mean? And what it is carrying is very huge. Right. Okay. I want people to grab that piece right there. What it is carrying is very huge, okay? It gets to carry a honor to the Father, you know, in such a way that is more profound than we can imagine, you know, the cup.

27:26 Now, everything's alive in heaven, okay? And I believe if I would have had time to talk to the cup. Wow. On earth or in heaven? Either way, talk to the cup. The cup would explain to me how honored it felt, the cup felt, and being able to be used in that manner to worship the Father. You know, you think about that. We mimic it in our communion if we use a cup. I'm not trying to get a whole new religion out there for anybody. If you're taking communion, you better make sure it's a cup. But the significance of even the mimicking of it and taking communion is very important. If you think about what Jesus said. He said, this represents my blood. And he said, drink it. He's talking about drinking the wine. Some people use grape juice. But the symbol of it, okay, as it is. Heaven, let it be done on earth. All right. Here it is. We got two creations of God, Mary and Abraham, offering up a similar, listen to what I'm saying, a similar fashion to the Father, liquid light. Okay. And yet here we are on earth, literally by doing that, he said, do it in remembrance of me. Okay.

28:53 Which tells me the actual. Okay. You ready for this? All right. Go for it. The actual cup was Jesus himself. That makes sense. Okay. Yeah. Let me just throw this in while we're on that. Because as you were talking, I was remembering and I understood you were going to go to the Holy Communion. But he also said this in John 7. He was in Jerusalem. The last great day of the feast, which is the eighth day, I believe. And it's funny that the Feast of Tabernacles has seven days, but then there's an eighth day. So in John 7, starting with 37, it says, In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink. He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this, he spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Ghost was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.

29:54 But that happened on the last great day of the feast. You know, the Bible doesn't say this, but we learn from... Jewish tradition or whatever you want to call it, that this was a day that they did what they called a water libation, where it was like a drink offering, where they poured out water. They went down to the Pool of Siloam and they took fresh water out of the Pool of Siloam and brought it up to the Temple Mount and offered it there in the temple. So they're offering this water. And in their terms, they would call it living water because it's spring fed. It's spring fed. So it's fresh water. It's moving water. It's not stagnant. And that's what they mean when they say living water. But Jesus is giving a whole different picture of what is to come that I'm going to pour out of this living water. Yeah. And I believe it goes again to what you said earlier, that motion or that service or that. is a what is to come. And literally, we're bringing again, like Mary did with the wine, she went into what we would call the future and brought it into the presence. Yes. And I believe that literally the communion is also to help us to bring what's in the future into the presence. Oh, that's good. You know, most of my friends like Tony and I believe that communion is a healing time. physically healing time. You know, many of my friends believe that. And I believe it too. Don't get me wrong. But I want

31:25 to say their ministries are in the healing ministries and they do that. And if you think about what you're saying in that process is you're going in the future because we're all going to be healed. There ain't no sickness in heaven. Nobody's hobbling around. Nobody's got anything there. They're, what do you call it? Fighting for, you know, by his stripes, we were healed. You know what I mean? And I'm telling you, none of us are going to be sick. sickness is not even going to exist in heaven. That's right. And I don't mean existed. It says we remember when we were sick on the planet. No, you're not even going to remember it. Hallelujah. Wow. You know, so I say that to you. But we, by doing communion, are literally going into the... future and bringing that future into the presence oh that's so good by doing that because he said do this in remembrance of me and i really believe saying remember what i did for you yes you know what i mean this is what i've done for you it's not what i'm going to do in the future for you this is what i've already done for you yeah so it's like you're dipping into the past and the future at the same time that's right you're grabbing that you're in the i am moment As I like to say it, I am as I am as I am. There is no future or no past.

32:47 You're in it. That's why I believe sometimes in the glory, when we're in the glory of God, we're in this presence. And people say, well, it's like there's no time. Well, you're in a moment as I am. There is no boundaries of time or presence or past. You're I am time. So I share that. And I don't mean by clock or anything. It's just I am. But let's go back to this because I want to share this here. Matthew 26, starting at the verse 27, says this. And he says, and when he had taken up the cup and given thanks, this is Jesus in the last supper, we call it. He gave it to them saying, drink from it, all of you. For this is my blood of the new and better.

33:34 to come. I'm reading out of the Amplified Bible, okay? Covenant, which ratifies the agreement and is being poured out for many as a sanctuary anointment for the forgiveness of sin. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now until the day when I drink it. new with you in my Father's kingdom. And I believe that wine is not like we think is grape juice or from grapes. This wine to me is that liquid light. We all are going to drink that liquid light that is offered up to the Father when we're there. Beautiful. It's going to fill us in, which is really in the sense of really drinking the blood of Jesus. Amen. Yeah. And I think the symbolism of wine itself. Yes. Wine is fermented, and the fermentation process is a living process. There's something living that's going on that's making bubbles. It's eating the sugars. It's creating an alcoholic presence.

34:52 which that can change how you behave. And I think God is intending, it's not about He's intending to make us drunk in that way, but He's intending for us to learn to drink of the Spirit that will cause us to begin to walk in the Spirit and behave in the Spirit instead of in the flesh. Yes, yes. Beautiful. Yes, yes. And so I wanted to just bring that up again about the cup. Because the cup was used in this in such a way to bring life to the entire world. Yes. Because he says here, it does a number of things by drinking. And of course, we're looking at the liquid within the cup, but the reality of it, that cup. You understand what I mean? It was used as the utensil for this to be done. And I really look at that cup as a representation of Jesus Christ himself. Absolutely.

35:54 Absolutely. It was a representation of Jesus Christ. Some people out there may have a hard time with that because we have boundaries to our thinking. We don't have to have those boundaries to our thinking, but we put boundaries on our thinking. Our flesh has a hard time with this because it has a hard time without going outside of what our flesh wants to be safe in. Okay? Yeah. People that are really little to control people or to control things, this is really not good for them because it's out of their control. You know what? This is just to help people that are very controlling people. What it really is, to be honest with you, is you want to trust in something that you don't have to worry about.

36:37 And so you figure if you put the boundaries up there, then you can trust in that. And I'm saying to you, put your boundaries in Jesus. and trusting him. Yeah, that's good. You won't be controlling like you are now. And don't justify it and say, I'm doing it for this reason. I know. I walk that way. And I remember when I first came back, I just remember him saying to me on many occasions, trust me. And when I did that, everything was in control. It was out of my control, but it was in his control. And all I had to do was trust him. Is that good news or is that good news? That is good news. And I think you could even make the picture of trust as taking a drink.

37:23 Take a drink of him because he not only said it here, if you're thirsty, come to me and drink. Right. He also said it to the woman at the well. Come to me and I will give you living water. Well, in their minds, living water is like water that moves. It's like a river. It's like a spring. It's like a lake or ocean. It's not even about whether it's salt water or not salt water. Right. It's about the fact that it moves. And so that's what, you know, the woman at the well and the people that heard him say that on the Temple Mount. To them, they're thinking living water in their terms. Yeah. But he's trying to explain, I have a spiritual gift for you that you can drink of me. Take a drink of him. He is the cup.

38:14 I love that. That's so beautiful. Yes. The other thing I want to go, and we've talked about it before, is to drink offering. Okay. You know what I mean? The drink offering that was offered. You know, out of all the offerings, if you think about it, that was the one that seemed to be like, why are we doing a drink offering? You know, it's the easiest. Out of all the others, you have to go get something and bring it in there, you know. But here you got that drink offering, you know. Think about how easy it is to go and get something liquid and then offer it to God as a drink offering. And yet the significance of the drink offering, even in the tabernacle, Tabernacle, you know, was so huge. Here it is, a very simple process that God used. And yet here again, to have that drink offered, you had to have a container. You had to have something that they were able to put it in so that it could be offered up. And the reason I believe that that container was used is because it was the perfect, listen to what I'm saying, vehicle for God to use to be able to bring that offering.

39:22 Wow. Wow. You know, again, I believe it represented Jesus because he was the perfect being to be able to offer us to the Father. Yes. If you think about it. And so Jesus, many times you look at that simple little cup when I was in that museum and I was looking at it and I was just seeing all these things that were taking place. And matter of fact, I even got a little symbol one up here because I just wanted to, I'm not worshiping it, it's not a big deal, but I wanted it to have, so I could say, I got this little bitty cup and I know what it means in the kingdom of God. So that was one of the things that I experienced when I was with you guys that is still being played out. The Father wanted me to start off with that imagery of that cup and the significance of it. Other things that I saw there were also huge. Remember, everything is great in God's kingdom. There isn't one thing greater than the other. I'm not going to write a book on the cup.

40:33 And sell that and then write a book on the showbread and sell that. Because, you know, to make it sound like this is greater than that. No, it's all great in God's kingdom. You know, and it is represented in heaven. It is there. You know, and everything's alive. You know, one of the, I think I shared this on the previous video and I'll share it again. And that was the Ark of the Covenant and there were cherubims who were on top of the Ark of the Covenant. Yes, I love that. And one of the people that was with me and they came up to me and say, are they really like that? And I looked at them, I didn't mean to do this, but I turned around and I looked at them like, they're alive. So any form you would probably put them up there, they have had.

41:20 They're not up there stuck in that form. They are moving. That's the image, whoever put it together. If that's the image that God gave them, he didn't tell me he gave them that image. That's the way they put them. But the reality of it, those are live beings that can move around. You know, and they're not stuck in one form or another. I'll be honest with you. When I saw them, their hands were raised, or their wings and their hands were raised high in praise of the Lord. So have that image on top of the Ark of the Covenant. You know what I mean? Wow. You know, in that sense, that's what we're talking about here.

42:02 We're talking about things that are not stuck in the mold or the image that we think they're stuck in. that are alive. The cup is alive. You know, somebody out there may ask me, you know, how could that be? And I say, well, God could do that. He makes things alive. He doesn't make death. In the ninth chapter, I think it's the sixth verse, which I quote many places, talks about he's the God of life and he makes things alive, you know? And so in saying that to you, it was really great to look at the different things that I saw there. But this cup was the first thing that God wanted me to bring out about and the significance of it. Now, I would encourage anybody that's listening that if you have something, that was opened up to you about this cup or, you know, the chalice. Some people want to say the Holy Grail, you know. You know, that's a whole different thing. But the reality of it is that God is showing you something. Send it to us. Send it to us. Share it and feel and say.

43:10 I saw out of that. Because every detail is important to God. Every detail is glorious. Every detail really helps us to enhance us to be better in him, to serve him on this planet. Amen. And so I would love to hear from other people and see what God's opened up for them. Sure. Send us an email at feedback at globaloutpouring .org or go to globaloutpouring .net and there's a feedback form there you can fill out either way. Yeah, it would be great to do. Or you have more questions and Sharon can bring that up. Because sometimes what God does is he opens up these things to people, but they have nobody to confirm that what they just saw or what they just experienced was really from God. And so we can help you say, hey, yeah, that's right. Or I could say, hey, yeah, that's right. And I'm amazed that sometimes when someone comes up to me and they share something with me and I'm thinking, boy, they must have really had an encounter with God. Yeah. Wow.

44:12 Because the only way you would know that. As if you had an encounter with God. That's good. That is good. I love that. When that happens, I'm like, hi. They must have really had an encounter with God. I experienced it when I was with the Father Jesus in heaven. And God showed them here on the planet, some of them. Some of them also had the experience there. But the reality of it, I really enjoy that, you know, when that happens. Well, Sharon, I don't have anything else to go forward on this. This is where God led me to really just with the cup. Now the door is open for me to share other things. In our next meeting, we could share some other things.

44:53 I think what I'm feeling I want to do, I have to really check out with those, is to talk about the showbread. You know what I mean? Oh, okay. Bread of the face. And we kind of can almost, people know that one, the bread thing. But there was something that was very significant when I was there, watching the design of the trays that were being used for the showbread. You know what I mean? And the significance of how they were put together. And why they were put together. I saw those things in heaven also. And the bread is not like bread we would think. You know what I mean? Yeah, because Jesus said he was the living bread. Yeah. And there's so many things that was given for the tabernacle and the temple that was really Jesus, period. Wow. Was really Jesus.

45:49 And it amazes me how much God was preparing us on the planet through the Jewish people for the arrival of his son to be able to put us back in the right order. Amen. You may say save us, but saving us, we look at it as taking us out of something bad and putting it in good. But we were created for goodness. So Jesus, all he really did was put us back into what we were created for. Beautiful. Order. Well, that's what shalom means, you know, being put into order, being completed. Oh, that is so cool. I didn't know that. That's cool. Anything that's out of order is put into order. Shalom really is about nothing broken, nothing missing, and it comes from a word that means complete. And even in Israel, okay, Claren McQueen told us this when he lived there for 12 years, and if he would go and pay his electric bill, they would stamp it Shalem, paid. Wow. Paid in full. Well, I was thinking because in heaven, you know, I always say we're complete. Yes. We're shalom. Exactly.

47:00 Again, here's a word that's been used on the planet. Right. It really is representing heaven when it's said. Yes. And that's the greeting. You greet one another with shalom or shalom, shalom. Or on Friday, you say Shabbat shalom. Friday afternoon and all day Saturday, you're saying Shabbat shalom. It's all about the peace. It's all about the rest. It's all about the completeness. Stopping the usual thing. And this is what I would look at that, having the experience I had. If you came up to me and said that to me, shalom, and I knew the meaning meant complete, it would say, I will see you in heaven. That's so good.

47:42 That's how I would say it. Because the fullness of completion is being with the Father and Jesus. Amen. You know what I mean? Amen. And so you saying that to me, that word for me would mean, this is what I believe they knew. I believe they already knew this. What I'm saying now, it's not like, okay, you know, we're going back and trying to figure it out. That's how they took it. Yeah. I will see you in heaven. Beautiful. Is that cool? Is that cool? That is really amazing. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. So now you're speaking completion into a person's life by saying that. Yeah. Yeah. And it's more than just saying peace. You know, I think there were enough Jewish hippies that introduced saying, peace, man. Peace. Yeah. You know, peace, man.

48:35 But the idea of saying peace, man, is coming from shalom. Yeah. And I think all of that was happening during the Vietnam War and the uprisings against the war. And so we're greeting one another with peace. But it really was God trying to get his word into the earth. Yes. Yes. Yeah. I believe that, too. So there's so many things that we could go over. Remember, every detail is glorious to God. Yes. Every detail, you know, so there's even more than what we're saying in this show.

49:15 So those are the things I would love to talk about the next time we come together, you know, and try to do as many of these as we can. But I don't have anything else about the cup. I know that. OK, go ahead. Go ahead. I want to go back to the cup. Because I think there's another piece that you have that we can bring in here, and you've brought it to us before. If you're seeing Jesus as the cup, as the one who is providing this outpouring, he's pouring out. He said, this cup is the new covenant in my blood. So when you saw him, you saw him on the cross, you were on your hands and knees before him, and then he transported you through time. to see him on the cross, right? If I got that. And you saw him shredded and so mangled and beaten like you could hardly recognize that he was a man. And you said you saw that every time his heart would beat, there was this mist that would come out, sprinkling. And it fits with, we've done this before on a podcast, but I want to just bring it into this context of him as the cup. That he was literally, with every beat of his heart, he was sprinkling. And the word in Isaiah 52, it's right before Isaiah 53, obviously. But Isaiah 53, of course, is all about. You know, showing Jesus as the one that would take away our sins.

50:47 And he's borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. And he was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. But back in the previous chapter, it says in verse 14 of Isaiah 52, as many were astonished at thee, his visage was so marred. In other words, his face, his countenance was so marred or mangled more than any man and his form or. He was mangled so that you couldn't even recognize him as a man. And his form more than the sons of men. Verse 15 says, so shall he sprinkle many nations. And that word sprinkle is the same word in the Hebrew. It means to spurt.

51:29 It literally means to spurt. And that's what was happening with every beat of his heart. It was spurting. But it's the same word, sprinkle, that God told Moses to take the blood and sprinkle it. Wherever he said sprinkle, it's the same word. Okay, you sprinkle it on the altar. This is how we dedicate all of the pieces of furniture and implements for the tabernacle. They were to be sprinkled with blood. And he sprinkled the blood on the books. And he sprinkled the blood on the people. People, yeah. Okay? He sprinkled it on them. And so it says, so shall he sprinkle many nations. That's the goyim. That's the Gentiles, right? And it includes the nation of Israel. And then it says, the kings shall shut their mouths at him, for that which had not been told them shall they see, and that which they had not heard shall they consider. And that word kings in Scripture means regular kings, like the king of a nation or the king of a city, but it also means demonic kings. So these demonic kings that were standing around thinking they had won, we have crucified the Lord of glory.

52:33 He's going to be out of our hair. And had they known, they would not have crucified him. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Had they known. Yeah. So they shut their mouths. They shut their mouths. Yeah. So he was the cup pouring out of his very life blood to give us life because the life of the flesh is in the blood. Right. Beautiful. Wow. That is so powerful. This is awesome. It's hard to stop. So would you like to round this out with prayer for our listeners? Yeah. You got some more comments. No, no, no. This is where I'm ending. I'm looking forward to the next show.

53:14 Good. You know what I mean? We are too. We'll probably recap some of the things we talked about here, but the next show will be going on too. Because I want to do as much as I can in the order that the Father will. is letting me do it in good okay you can say wants me to do it in but the reality he's letting me do it and then so because i want his i want him to do what he needs to do with the people that are listening amen so father in the name of your son jesus christ i thank you for each and every person that's listening to us today I thank you that their ears were open and their eyes were open to be able to see things in your realm that they had not seen before. I thank you, Lord, that you confirmed to many people what you had told them already. And they were wondering if it was true. And now today it's been confirmed for them that what they received was true. Thank you, Lord, that opens up a new door for them to be able to walk with you in a way that they have not walked with you before. I thank you, Father, in the name of Jesus for Sharon and Phil and how you're outpouring them, global outpouring.

54:20 We talked about that today, the vessel that was being used to be used to offer up liquid light to you, Father, by Abraham and Mary. But we also talked about Jesus and how he is the vessel and how many of the things we did was as Sharon brought out. pour or just sprinkle on many nations. Well, you're using global outpouring the same way. Thank you. The exact same way. You know, it's no coincidence that it's global outpouring, you know. You're pouring your spirit on many nations through this ministry. So I'm asking you to bless Sharon and Phil, you know. I want them to be blessed in such a way financially that it is not an issue for them of how things are going to be taken care of financially. Lord, they are honest and they have a lot of integrity. So they will use the resources or the money that comes in for your glory. And I thank you for that.

55:18 That's above everything else. And so, Father, in the name of Jesus, that there's even someone out there that just feels like they want to give, donate, bless. This is a good ministry to put it into. I thank you, Father, that this is your will. Father, I love it when we pray your will, because you said that if we pray, ask anything according to your will, you hear us. And if you hear us, we have our request. So I thank you, Father, that what we have asked for will be done. Yeah, I thank Lord that we will bring the future into the presence. Yes, Lord.
