So today we're going to talk about what he saw in heaven that has to do with the showbread or the bread of the presence, the bread of the face. I'll

Well, it's been great to be able to do this with you, Sharon and Phil, and be a part of global outpouring as they move throughout the entire world. It's not just a regional ministry that the global reporting is, it's the entire world, countries that are everywhere. You know, I know you're going to talk a little bit about the conference that's coming up. And I think, again, I want to emphasize that people, that was the thing that impressed me the most. It's to see the diversity at that conference of all the people from all over the place and then the worship with them.

5:08 And it's one of those things. We're going to do that for eternity anyway. And so this is an opportunity in this conference. I'll let you take it from there. But for people to start to learn what it's going to be like to worship with so many different nationalities and cultures. Well, you know, when you were in heaven, did you see it like it's described in Revelation where it says every nation and people in tongue were worshiping? Is that what you saw? Yeah, that's what I experienced. It wasn't just a seeing, but to experience it and to be a part of that. And when it talks about every nation, I know we look at nations in the sense of like countries like United States or China or something like that. Nations to God is families. And so it's every family, every family group on this planet because nations are made up of families. And so you got all these families or nations, as you want to call them, coming together to tell their father how much they love them. And the uniqueness that each one of us has made. God doesn't make mistakes, so each one of us have attributes that are positive. I'm not talking about the negative part of them, but the positive parts of our nature, which are made by Him to be able to tell Him how great we love Him. Amen.

6:26 Amen. That's so beautiful. Well, before we get started on the things that are on your heart for today, I just want to circle back to the previous episode where we were talking about Jesus being the cup of life and you saw the cup in the museum at the Temple Institute. And we received an email. or feedback, I guess it was, that was from this episode. We called the episode, Jesus is the Cup of Life. And Samson wrote and said, Dean described Abraham's and blessed Mary using the chalice to take liquid light, which Dean described as having the form of water, but being pure light itself. You never, he's talking to me, you never asked what color, what color the liquid light was. I re -listened to it this morning to make sure I understood the question.

7:20 And it was further on where we connected that Jesus was the cup, and we connected about the blood of Jesus being the substance of the cup. Dean said this liquid light was the blood of Jesus Christ, so would that mean it had a red color, or perhaps a ruby -like color? What color was this liquid light? Thanks for a great podcast. Give us some feedback on that. You know, that's really cool that he would ask that question. You know, the thing about that color is that, to be honest with you, yes, it was the blood of Jesus in the sense of the liquid. And there's so much that's Jesus that's there. We separate things, and yet it's Jesus. You could say in a different form. I'm not saying he was, it's just different. And that really, the liquid light, anytime I even imagine in my head right now, it's multiple colors, to be honest with you.

8:20 It's more of the... uh color like the rainbow in a good sense, you know, the rainbow has been taken and used in a way that's contradicting to how we as Christians believe. But the rainbow really represents light and so many different, and then there's the rays or the colors we can't see because our eyes are not tuned to those those colors because they're outside of our spectrum. But the reality of it is as Mary and also Abraham were lifting up that liquid It was reddish. It was purplish. It was bluish. It was, you know, orange. It was, as it was moving up, it changed colors all the way up. And it was, so it wasn't just one. And that's why when I even saw Jesus, this may be a little bit, when people always say, what does he look like? I, you know, tell them, yeah, he looks human and has a nose and the eyes and everything like that. But when I first saw him, He didn't have the fleshly colors that we have. He looked more like liquid. He looked liquid. And then what was shining out of him were all these different colors, like rainbow colors. And I saw him like that several times as I was there with the Father in heaven.

9:37 And so there were times when, yeah, he looked like the fleshly colors we know of right now. But the reality of it is... Those are really guided, later on I found out by some of the scientists, people that I know, because of the sunlight that we have on the planet. But in heaven, he was more of a liquid -like look, and the light that was shining out at him was so many different colors. I mean, you know, there were colors that we could say the rainbow colors. And I even say like, I think you call it a prison. Is that right? Where a light was shining through and then it comes out a different color, you know, maybe white light coming in, but then it separates the colors and they come out in different colors like that. So that's what they were lifting up to the father, you know, that type of liquid light, you know, we could go into that at another time. Me and you discussed it even with the breast spray. of the 12 tribes and all the different colors that each one of those stones represent for each tribe. Yeah. I don't want to go too far down another trail, but I have been thinking about, after this question came, I've been thinking about something that our founder, Sister Gwen Shaw, used to teach. And I don't know exactly where she got this. I know that she had an encounter with an Israeli hematologist to somebody who studies blood years and years ago. But she would say that blood is congealed light. So I don't

11:11 know whether you, you know, in the physical realm. when it became physical. Everything came down to something physical because of the fall. So it makes me think that the original blood of Jesus would have just been light in the context of his spiritual body in heaven. Is that true? Right. That's what it was. That's really what it was. And that's us using our limited description of what the substance is. There are substances in heaven then. probably don't really come close to the substances that we can describe on the planet, but we do the best we can with what we have. And I love that she had that, that you could call a revelation, I call it insight into the pureness of God and to the pureness of God and Jesus Christ and His blood and the blood that we have within us, which would say, you know, there's a statement in the Bible that says we are children of the light. And most of us, we think of that as truth, you know what I mean?

12:14 But it's more than just the truth. We are really, and even our spirits, if your spirit was outside of that body right now, it would shine so bright. You know, mainly because of the Holy Spirit that resides on the inside of us, Jesus Christ. But the reality of it, it would be bright too. It would be so bright. We won't go into it today, but it would be so bright. It'd be like Jesus showing up and brighter than a new day's sun. You know, our flesh contains a brightness of our spirit that most of us could not really look at with our natural eyes. Our spirit is so bright. You know, those that are connected to Jesus Christ, those that are born again, those that know Him.

12:58 Now the ones that are not, they're very dull. They're very dull, dull, dull, dull. It doesn't mean they don't have some light shining in them. It's just it's very dull compared to those that have Jesus Christ or are connected to the Holy Spirit. Yes. Well, you're one spirit with the Holy Spirit. So that's correct. That would be what brings the shine. OK, Sharon, no more questions. No, no more questions. But I would like to I'd like to put in a plug for Sister Gwen's book, Dude with Light to Rain Forever. I liked what you said about insight. She got insight about the light. We'll put a link for that in the show notes. So let's go on. So when we were in Jerusalem together, you saw things, especially at the Museum of the Temple Institute, and you were exploding on the inside. So last time we talked about the cup that you saw there, and this time you want to talk about the showbread. You introduced that idea last time. I'm so glad that we get to go there. So tell us what the Lord showed you. You know, what I want to do is, I've been doing some research on that myself. These are things that I really didn't have connection with that deeply when I came back to the planet. I was never really an Old Testament. I love the stories of the Old Testament, but when it got down to describing things in the Old Testament, especially the temple or the tabernacle, okay, yeah, that sounds good.

14:20 Purple robe, yeah. That separates us here. But it was never none of my desire to really know that much about these things. And even when I came back, I knew that significance was even more. I read Leviticus and Exodus and also Numbers and read more of these things. But again, it was not the easiest to read through. you know trying to concentrate on them in a more detailed way but i knew that they had very big significance because i experienced a lot of those things in heaven. Not in the same shape set we make up here you know god had to design them in a way that would fit this realm compared to that realm there but they are there in that realm not in the same manner that they are here. And when we come to the show bread you know that was there i remember all men close my eyes i remember being in that museum and see in the trays there in here and how they made the show bread and then put it on the table those things were like exploding on the inside of me i really would have myself i would pick probably starting off with the show bread before i start off with the cup to be.

15:35 the utensil that was used for the drink sacrifice. But that's where I felt like the Holy Spirit wanted me to start off with. And as I have since had the show, thought about it more, I could understand why we started off with that first. You know, the significance, that's really was one of the bridges that crossed over from that realm to this realm, along with what I'm getting ready to talk about now, which is the show bread. I got a book put together called The Tabernacle. A friend of mine sent it to me. knew I was looking at it. He said, Dean, this is a good book for you to probably read called The Tabernacle Shadows of the Messiah and it's Sacrifice Service in Priesthood. I'll put it up here so you guys can see it, you know, by David Levy, you know, and he's done a good job, I think, of taking things.

16:26 and showing how these things represent Jesus Christ. You know, I think it's from an earthly point of view. It's helped me to connect on what I experienced there back down here on the planet. I don't know the guy personally, but I think the material that I've read so far, it's exciting me. And I want to read something out of here about the showbread that I thought was really good. And so I'm going to read it to you. The term showbread comes from a Hebrew word that means Bread of the face or bread of presence and then he says because the lows were set before the face or presence of Jehovah who dwells in the holy of holies as a meal offering for the children of israel found in leviticus 24 8 god's gaze with delight on the pure bread offering that sat continuously before his face bread is called the staff of life and is the foundation of life itself. The showbread was a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, who is the true bread of life, giving unfailing substance to all who partake of him. He was born, I love this part here, you know, he was born in the city of Bethlehem, which means house of bread. You know, God is so detailed.

17:49 I got excited when I read that art there and there's others in here saying that he goes through. But I got excited because I looked at that. Here it is. It's almost like every step that God takes is an explosion. And in this showbread, every step, everything that was done, you know, making of the bread and the substance of the bread, I was reading it here. that the family that made the bread were the only ones that made it. And they guarded the ingredients so that nobody else knew what they made. And they didn't do it because they were trying to keep it in their cell. They wanted it to be pure. And so they would teach their children how pure it was to make sure that bread was correct. And they didn't want to share it with anybody else because they wanted to keep the pureness of the bread. for what it was meant to do. You know, it says that at one time the priest decided they'd go outside the family and try to get somebody else to do it, try to get some Egyptians to do it. But then when they tried to get the Egyptians to do it, the Egyptians made the bread. but the bread did not have the tearness in it and didn't last the seven days.

18:52 They said this bread was not raw, it would not fall apart. Although it would get no fungus or mold on or anything like that, it would literally last the seven days until they bring in the new bread, the next seven days. And so it was really something to see the detail that God put into this. And that's just a symbol on the outside. And when I saw the show bread there and I remember being in heaven and the bread of life is Jesus. There's no, he's right. That's it. Okay. So I saw the actual bread. Okay. And there's a time when Jesus literally tells us that. We kind of overlook it. And it's found in John the sixth chapter, the 25th through the 34th verse. I'll start there. I've taught this. Mainly because I want to say heavenly thinking and earthly thinking but there's so many significant things that Jesus points out here that are passed by it's right after he feeds to five thousand seven plus and People are following him because you think about the bread And, you know, the five loads and two fish and how they are broken apart and given to over 5 ,000 people, you know, 5 ,000 plus people. And then 12 baskets, you know, which is significant in itself because the 12 baskets is not just a 12, it's the 12th prize of Israel, if you think. God is so detailed. And some people

20:24 out there may think I've read this before, I've heard this before, but you've got to take the whole story together. And I don't mean the whole story of just the over 5 ,000 people. I always want to say over 5 ,000. You know, we say 5 ,000, but it says 5 ,000 plus. Really, that's really, you know. It says 5 ,000 men, doesn't it? And then women and children. Yeah. And so it got to women and the children. You're right, Phil. And so we want to say the plus. You know, like to say that. Absolutely. So we really don't know. People estimate, you know, You know, if one other person has 10 ,000, if it's two, three, that's 15 ,000. But we know families were big families back then. We don't have big family today. I got one family that I know they have six kids.

21:11 You know, that's a big family to us. But, you know, some people come from families back in the old days, 10 kids, 12 kids, something like that. The Jewish people were producing families. They still do. The Orthodox do. They do. They do. You're right. So in saying that to you, you know, I like to point that out. And in the 12 baskets, you know, here it is, even though the bread has gone out to all these people, 12 baskets are full, you know, and we think, yeah, they're all full. No, it's significance in the number of 12, you know. And so I won't go into that more. There's other people, the teachers that are going to that deeper. But I want to read this part here and then Jesus gets in a boat and Jesus doesn't leave yet. They get in a boat.

21:55 They start leaving and then Jesus ends up where they are. He comes over on that side, really walks on the water. They get in the boat and then they end up on the other side and the 5 ,000 plus, they follow them and they said, when they, the 5 ,000 whom Jesus fed, found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you get here? Jesus replied, I tell you the solemn truth. You are looking for me, not because you saw the miraculous sign, but because you ate all the loaves of bread you wanted. There's another scripture that says, Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us our daily bread.

22:36 You know, the other day I was doing one of the conferences that I do, the deep worship and seminars, you know, I was just doing it not too long ago. And in doing that, the Lord told me, that we don't come to him for our daily bread You know what I mean? And it was every seven days. God wants to give us that bread every single day. Is that good news or is that good news? Bread of His presence. Bread of His presence. But I even remember, and you heard me say this, Phil and Sharon, remember when I was before the Lord and I was giving Him praise in heaven and I felt like I was being fed. I felt like there was something going in me that was just feeding me. And I was giving him praise and telling him how much, but I felt satisfied to the fullness of that moment of praising him. And what I was receiving was a bread of life from him. He was literally filling my spirit with the bread of life. Is that good?

23:46 So here it is. They're chasing him for this bread. in the sense of a natural, but he's trying to give them the bread of life. And it said, do not work for food that disappears, but for food that remains to eternal life. Think about that. You know what I mean? And most of us support, again, Christian, because we have the Holy Spirit on the inside of us. We're looking at that. Yeah, we know that's Jesus Christ himself. The food which the Son of Man will give you, the God, the Father has put his seal of approval on. Let's go on, because every bit of this is telling you what I experienced in heaven. It's not just telling you Jesus has given you an example and saying, hey, this is a good example. This is going on even right now. That approval wasn't a one -time approval. It's a continuous approval from God Almighty on the bread. Beautiful. Just like, oh, come on, you got to grab it. Just like when they brought to show bread, into the temple and whose presence, whose face was looking at continuously.

24:52 Yes. It's happening right now. That represents something that is I am moments. You know, I am moments like you could think about right now it's happening. Think about two more months, it's happening. You think about three more moments, it's happening. Every moment you're thinking of, this is what's happening, okay? Beautiful. Do not work for the food that disappears. But for the food that remains to eternal life the food which the son of men will give to you For god the father has put his seal of approval on him Wow And you know that he did multiply the food for him again after they walked all the way around the lake. Yeah It's given to him it is multiplying feel but not in the sense that they think it was going to be Yeah. Okay. I thought he's going to do it again. We are children of multiplication. We're children of life. We're, you know, I said earlier, we're children of the light, but we're also children of life. Life is multiplying all the time. That's why this body has a hard time with that because our spirit is going from that point, Phil, as you heard, glory to glory. Whether you like it or not, you born again know Jesus Christ the Lord and say, I have the Holy Spirit residing on the inside of you. You're moving in a different direction than your flesh Your flesh can be slowed down into deterioration that it's going in because of the glory that's on on the inside of you But sooner or later it's going to deteriorate because

26:24 god has promised us a glorified body He's giving us a glorified body. That's just the way it is. Okay So yeah, so then they said to him what must we do to accomplish the deeds? God requires, okay again, they think we gotta work for it. A lot of people think you gotta work for it. I got friends that are working to this day, they say they're not working, but they're working to receive this. And Jesus replies and says this, this is the deed God requires to believe in the one whom he sent. And that stumbled the Pharisees and the Sadducees. You know, they got into the work mentality, the traditions, the way they thought should be, and they wanted to keep it.

27:07 And, you know, the thing about that gets me, what they were keeping was right, but the heart in they were keeping it was wrong. That's what the problem was. It wasn't that they were wrong in what they were doing, but the way it came out of them, you know, it's that old saying, it's not what goes into a man that defiles a man, but what comes out. You know, that's what the Bible said. So they said to him, then what miracle signs will you perform so that we may see it and believe you? And what will you do? So they're still looking at the doing. They want to see it in this realm so they can believe it in the next realm. And he was saying, no, I want you to come in the next realm so that you can see it in this realm. And a lot of us have that, you know, it's even like being healed. You know, most of us have to go through something. And the Bible says that by His stripes, we were healed.

28:02 And so what a lot of happens there is that we have to go into that realm to see it happen in this realm. And most of us want to see it in this realm before we go into that realm. And it's that's backwards, according to, if you understand you're really created for that realm, your spirit is really created for that realm. And that leap, as we call leap of faith, is not as hard as people make it. It's really just trust. It's almost like I see Jesus lifting out his arm and saying, grab my arm, I'm going with you. You know what I mean? And if you can just trust that you can grab his arm and move in that direction, you'll see the results you want to see in this realm, because now you're in Israel, because you're kind of going into Israel. and he comes to see the results in Israel, our quality of art in heaven, that will be thy name, thy kingdom come, that will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

28:49 Now you've left this realm to go into the heavenly realm, and because you've gone into the heavenly realm, now you get the results in the earthly realm. Wow. I know somebody just started jumping around on that one. Our answers to the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written. He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Okay, here again, this bread. So this bread is all through the word of God, and it's really Jesus. I tell you, it's Jesus. No ands and buts about it, okay? But the reality and the understand of that is that that bread is our life. It is our life. We say it's the word of God, but it's our life. It really is Jesus. This is where it gets sticky for us. Then Jesus told them, I tell you the solemn truth. It is not Moses who had given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven. Who was that?

29:46 Jesus. Here's the sticky part. from God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. So that showbread is an outward showing at the time for the Israelites, or the Jewish people of Jesus Christ. We know that for a fact. Well, that's still going on today. It hasn't become, this is old, it's Old Testament. Today is still there. God's face is still being, the showbread, or the bread of face, or the bread of what we call presence, is still being activated today. It's not old. It's happening right now.

30:31 It's eternal. It will be happening when you get there. It will never stop happening. This is not a temporal thing that only happened in certain time because we had a tabernacle or a temple. This is happening right now for us. Is that good news? Is that good news? Amen. Oh, yes. Yes. Absolutely. I get excited about it because as I'm telling you, I'm seeing it. It is not one of those things that I'm just telling you something, I'm seeing it as I'm telling you. I wish we could put it on the screen. Yeah. I just seen that movie of David, some of the people may not like it, but the cartoon one. I thought it was done pretty well. You know, I think Angel Studios did it, and I know we get on some things with Angel Studios. But the reality of it, I thought it was done very well, you know, in the sense of how they did that cartoon. I thought to myself, oh boy, I don't know who did that. I would love a cartoon of my experience of going to be with the Father in Jesus. Well, there you go. Ooh.

31:34 Plant that idea out there. Come on. Yeah. That sounds wonderful. I would love it to be done. That or Comic Trip or whatever, you know, that realm. For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. So they said to him, sir, give us this bread all the time. Well, that's what God did. The result is he's given us the bread all the time. Yes, they again was thinking of the physical bread, but right. Jesus Christ has given to us all the time. You know, Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry. And the one who believes in me will never be thirsty. But I told you that you have seen me and still do not believe that right now. Even us Christians have a hard time believing that. You know what I mean? Because we see Jesus do all kinds of things. I'm going to tell somebody out there, stop saying, he did it for me before, he may not do it again. He will do it for you again. It isn't a one time blessing that you got. God wants to bless you again. I'm just saying to somebody out there, because I know that we say that, oh, he did it before, but I got to my one blessing, I won't get it again, you know? And so, you know, God wants to bless you continuously. I think you just have to accept it. You know, you were created to be blessed. We won't go in there today, but you were created to be blessed. You were made to be blessed every moment. Everyone whom the

33:05 Father gives me will come to me, and the one whom comes to me I will never send away so he will not send anyone away You know for I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me Now this is the will of the one who sent me i'm saying these things i'm reading this because I want people to get the foundation Of this bread of who this bread is what he is And what he was put on the planet to do and the thing about it. You have to look at it. I was there Jesus wants to nourish every portion of your being. You know, your little toe, Jesus wants to nourish. You okay? Your earlobe, He wants to nourish. You know, every portion of your being, Jesus wants to bring nourishment.

33:54 I shouldn't say nourish, but bring nourishment in. So, you have to realize that when we're reading this, Jesus is not saying, I just want to be with you. No. He wants to be in every portion of your being we say sometimes every portion of your life And i'm going to go even deeper than that every portion of your being for I've come down from heaven not to do my own will But the will of the one who sent me now This is the will of the one who sent me which I should not lose one person And everyone that he has given me but raise them all up in the last days And that's what he's going to do. That's what the bread came to do is to raise you up. It's almost if you think about making bread, you have to have a yeast in it and it rises. It naturally rises, you know. And so I say that to you because, you know, that's what's going to happen. You're going to get that bread and you're going to rise.

34:50 You know, and it's not just we think about rise from the dead or when our body dies or something like that. It's rising every moment of our lives. You know, rising over every circumstance, everything that we're going through, you know. I know many people out there say, I'm waiting for the breakthroughs. I'm thinking you're rising above, you know, whatever the situation. It's not that you're breaking through, you're rising above it. For this is the will of my Father. For everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him, have eternal life. And I will raise him up at the last day." Well, this is good news. Let me go on. John 6, 41 through 42. Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus begin to complain about him because he said, I am the bread that came down from heaven.

35:37 See, they understood this. They had the show bread, you know, the president's bread. They knew what he was saying. They didn't have no doubt of what he was saying. That's what they get mad about. You know what I mean? They bring it in every seven days. They bring it in. So they knew, they knew the sacrifice of the bread. They knew the significance of the bread. More than we know now. Okay? We're learning about it, studying it about it. Even the Jewish Orthodox Jews don't know what they know. They knew what he was saying there. And that's what they got mad about. Okay? And so I saw it. It was eternal. See, the bread was eternal. It wasn't a temporal thing. It was an eternal thing. And they knew that. They knew it was eternal. They knew it was not something just for the temple They knew it was something not something just for the tabernacle.

36:25 They knew it was Eternal, you know, okay And that's what they got mad about and they said isn't this Jesus the son of Joseph's who father and mother we know How can we how can he now say I come down from heaven? Okay, they knew exactly what that was we think and I'll just get no he said I'm the bread that came down for heaven He didn't tell you somebody coming down for heaven. He was the bread that came down for heaven He was the man that came down for him. That's it was the bread of life He was born in the city of Bethlehem, you know, you think about this. Yeah, I did not try to hide this from them, right It's almost like if you look to the right, he's the bread. If you look to the left, he's the bread. If you look up, he's the bread. If you look down, he's the bread. They could not get away from it and they got upset. Jesus replied, do not go playing about me to one another. No one comes to me unless the father whom sent me draws him. They didn't even get that. They were being drawn to him because the father was drawing them to the truth. These are a man that has studied the word of God, seeking the word of God, and whatever means, or what do you say, motive for doing it, God was still drawing them. That's the love of God. I don't know about you, but that's God's love. No one can come to me unless the father whom sent me draws him and I will

37:58 raise him up at the last days. He wants to give them opportunity to come into this really the bread that they already knew about. He's trying to say, hey, come to me so that you can get the full fulfillment of what the bread is supposed to do. It is written. in the prophets and they will all be taught by God. Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me. I don't go with that anymore because I take as a person that has the Holy Spirit on the inside of me, it's hard for me to understand why they couldn't get this. But I got the Holy Spirit on the inside of me. But it's a part of the new covenant. The new covenant was the part where Everyone is taught by God and God writes his law in our hearts and in our minds. That's in Jeremiah 31 and it's repeated again in the book of Hebrews a couple of times. It wasn't a part of the old covenant.

38:55 It was a part of the new covenant that was promised that everybody can know him. But I'm thinking about the showbread itself was for the Levites, the priests. I think it was just the priests, which is a portion of the Levites. Yeah. So they were the ones that got to eat the bread of the presence in the presence. They would go into that holy place, you know, not the holy of holies. That was only once a year for the high priest. But the priests would come, you know, once a week, they bring fresh bread. And that was when they changed the course. There was a whole new group of priests would come in to serve for the next week, and they started on Shabbat. So they were the ones. It was like I'm thinking it's the new group that came in that got to eat the bread that's been sitting there for the past week to get them ready to Serve in the coming week And the bread that they brought with them is gonna be sitting there for a week for the new guys coming in next Shabbat Right, so so there's there's something about that preparation that comes by partaking of this bread of the presence but What you were saying earlier about the manna The manna was poured out every single day for everybody. Yeah But you had to go out and collect it. You couldn't just you couldn't just sit in your tent and say Come here manna

40:26 Come come. I'm hungry. Come and feed me they had to go out and Collect it and and they would collect whatever they needed for their family But there's something about that daily bread that I think really connects with the manna, and it's Jesus in both cases. But I hadn't thought about it before, before you brought this, about how, okay, so the priests that are coming in to serve are going to eat of the bread that's been sitting in the presence of God. For seven days. It's been sitting under the light of the menorah It's been sitting in the presence where the incense is being offered daily. Yeah And and so it's gonna have some of that that Incense that would settle in on it It must have had the flavor of the incense that would well I would come back to the bread even sharing the glory guy would be even in the bread Yeah, no, because it's in the I would say it's before his face It's before faith. I looked at it as the more this is more than a just a symbol This is actually the presence of God. It's almost like the Catholics would teach you're really drinking the blood of Jesus You're really eating the body of Jesus when you're taking the communion and this case the reality of it is That that presence was there even in the bread. It's like if the smell is put it that way Like you said the smell the incense You know, yeah, naturally there would be a smell

41:58 of the incense, probably in the bread, the taste of the bread and everything like that. But because God's presence was there, that would be in the bread also. So it would be even farther or deeper than just the outwards, like a toasted bun, you know what I mean? You know how you get a toasted bun and you have the toast, but you go past the toast and you still got the flavor within it. And that's what I was mainly looking at. And these guys I would believe would know that. You know, that's what I was saying about this. They had a knowledge of this that's different than we portray today because it had gotten watered down probably as time has gone on. Because when you lose something, you try to find excuses why you lost it. It's almost like when Moses would be before the presence of the God, his face shined.

42:54 And then as time went on, his face stopped shining so he could avail over it. So people couldn't see that his face wasn't shining. But the reality, I think that's what happened here. This guy, as time got on, got into the traditions of things. And the next thing you know, we lost something in the tradition. So even though they were still doing them, we lost time. Like you talked about the manna and you talked about the showbread. Here are the presence of God or the bread of presence, which I think is a better name than showbread to be honest with you personally. You know, that would use the bread of presence more than I would use the showbread or the bread of face in his face. Because I know what that means being there with the father of Jesus in heaven and being in the presence of the Lord and being in the face of God. I can't explain it. So this represented that. So I understand that part that you just said, but I want to go a little bit deeper than that and say, these guys, I don't know, and the reason I don't know is because I got the Holy Spirit. Like you said, I get this bread every day. And so it's like, how could you not see this when it's represented so deeply in what you do? It even, and the point of you saying they ate it after the seventh day, it were you just eating it because it was bread that you just thought was bread? You know, it's almost like when we take the communion and how do we take it? And God said, if you don't take it, I'm worth it. You know, and we think that,

44:26 oh, you got sin in your life. It's really, it's how you look at it. How significant is this communion to you? And if it's very significant to you, you, and I know this, both people be healed by it. Physically, they've been healed. Emotionally, they've been healed but physically they've been healed because they know the significance of the communion of take our drinking and you know Taking the piece of bread and eating it and what Jesus meant by when he said the things he said But let me go on and read some more because this all ties in together You know with the show bread and it ties in at this point here John chapter 6 verse 44 through 51 Jesus replied do not complain about me to one another no one can come to me unless the father who Sent me draws him and I will raise him up at the last days It is written in the prophets and they will all be caught by God Everyone who hears and learns from the father comes to me Not that anyone has seen the father except the one who is from God. He has seen the father I tell you the solemn truth the one who believes has eternal life I, this is where he says it, and this is significant. Here it is in the temple, in the shofar, or the bread of presence, which I like. I am the bread of life.

45:51 Amen. I'm that manner. I'm that bread of presence. I am the bread that I'm supposed to be giving to you on a daily basis. You know what I mean? I am. I'm not going to be. I'm not will be, I am. And so that's what really got me about seeing those things in the temple. Your ancestors ate the manna and the wilderness and they died. This is the bread that has come down from heaven so that a person may eat from it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my bread." And I say that to you because that's represented in that showbread, six pieces each, so 12 in all, for the tribe of Israel, which are really for the world. It wasn't just for the tribe of Israel, but for the world. If you understand the responsibility of the Jewish people to share the gospel, to uh to well we call it the gospel now the good news but to share God with the entire world it wasn't something that was really supposed to just be in their hands and that was it and they were supposed to be the example to the rest of the world how to approach God Almighty you know our father in heaven and so what happened this with even the show bread you know with one of those things that all of a sudden became almost

47:22 like a club thing we're in the club and you're not Yeah, insiders and outsiders. Yeah, and God meant it for everyone. And Jesus is the bread. He is it, isn't he? And it's still today. Today, we don't look at it that way. We think it's a past tense situation. But even today, Jesus is the bread. Today. Yes, absolutely. I know we say he this, this, this. He is all those things, but he is the bread. Like when we talk about the names of Jehovah, you know what I mean? And we go through, Jesus got names too. And one was the bread of life. Yes. He is the bread. And so when we were in the museum and we were going through and I saw that, that's what I wanted to get up and do one of those happy dances that you like doing. You know how you like doing those happy dances? Yeah, yeah. And go around the circle.

48:19 And they was like, oh my God, he's... He in heaven still is the bread of life. He's not going to become the bread. He wasn't the bread. He is the bread of life, even in heaven. And here it is, in the tabernacle and also in the temple, they are celebrating Jesus is the bread when they do the... Sacrifice of bread, you know near it is and next time I talk I want to talk about the table because the table is is significant it also I don't want to say one part is more important than the other part Because when you inhabit all of its great and God didn't make one thing greater than something else. It's all great period Yeah, it's all so the next time we we go over this and then we go through the table and hum and we can go to the significance of the table and people describe those things, but I want to tell you what I experienced Being in heaven about the table because the table is there and the tables alive and and the table looks like a table and it talks it's Communicates.

49:24 Okay, and how does it represent to Jesus being the bread? Beautiful So so that's what I wanted to read today and go through and as you can see I'm excited about it. Yeah, not me just coming across trying to tell you something. I am so excited and these are eternal things. These are not temporal things. Yeah, the things on the earth, they're temporal and they fall apart. But these things that God literally has set up for the tabernacle and also the temple there in Jerusalem are eternal. There nothing is temporal at all. So that's all I got unless you got some questions you want to ask me or add some more like you did earlier. Well, while you've been talking about this, I'm remembering from my daily bread time this morning that I was reading about Gideon and how Gideon, you know, he was just, he didn't see himself as the mighty man of God that God kept saying he was. And he didn't see himself as, you know, is this really true? Are you really going to do this? And he, you know, he's doing the fleece and He needed that angel to yeah sure and and the cool thing was the cool The reason I went there was I was I was hearing in my spirit Jehovah Shalom Yeah, and I couldn't remember where it was and it was that giddy had built an altar the first altar he built He built an altar and called it Jehovah Shalom, but Like

50:56 I've said so many times, I'm a Hebrew scholar wannabe, and I'm kind of like in between first and second grade, okay? I know my letters, and I can sound things out, but I don't always know what they mean. But I was reading that scripture in the Hebrew, and you know, the word order is different. And it says, in English, it says, and the angel of the Lord said to him, but in the Hebrew, it's to him said, the angel of Jehovah Shalom. So peace to you. I'm saying peace to you. And I think you alluded to it earlier about just trust. Maybe it was from the last we were listening to the last episode. So that place of trust is that place of Shalom. It's the place of... resting in His I am -ness, His presence, His right now. But the thing I was thinking significantly about the bread is that when it came right down to it and just before the battle, He's still doubting. He's still fearful. He's still having trouble. And the Lord said, okay, go down and sneak up on the camp of the enemy. And And I'm going to show you something is basically with the idea. And he gets down there and he's hearing

52:27 these guys talking in their tent. And one of them says, I just had a dream. And I dreamed that this barley loaf came rolling down the hill and knocked down our whole camp. Yeah, loaf of bread. Loaf of bread. Now, barley in scripture is the poor man's bread. It's the lowest of the grains. It's the first grain that they harvest in the year. So, you know, before you get to that nice wheat, you're going to have barley. But, you know, we eat the barley because it's what God provided, but let's get to the wheat, you know? But here's this man that sees himself in this humble place, a really fearful place, not this bold, courageous man of God that God says he is. Yeah, but he sees himself as a barley loaf really and they saw him as a barley loaf The other soldier interpreted for the guy who dreamed it. Oh, that's none other than Gideon Yeah, Gideon's coming and so I just wanted to say that that Jesus is the bread But he is so dwelling in us that he makes us bread, too Yes, and you know you you are what you eat. So if you're eating him You're becoming Him. That's the whole point in the born -again experience, in the Spirit -filled experience. It's to become like Him. And that's what we're predestined to.

53:56 We're predestinated to be conformed to Him, to be like Him. I love how you teach on the G5, you know, Galatians 5, that the fruit of the Spirit is, and it's the whole character of Christ. So eating of Him, eating of His presence every day, is turning us into his likeness, restoring his likeness the way it was before Adam and Eve fell. Yeah. Amen. That's right. I didn't ever think about that with Gideon, you know, I use Gideon's example a lot, mainly in the sense of how God sees us. I was this morning talking to my host here where I'm at. and her husband got on to be with the Lord a year come next month.

54:44 And she was just telling me how happy she is that he's in heaven and how that brings her great comfort to know how happy he is now in heaven. But I also was talking about how they could see us from heaven and they see us as God sees us. And God saw Gideon as a mighty man of valor. And it's so cool that you bring that in with the barley loaf because God saw it. You know, he saw it and that's how he portrayed it to the enemy. You know what I mean? As the bread was down, smashing now, because that's how significant the bread is, you know? Which is really cool. The mighty man of valor, I wonder if God said, you're a big loaf of bread. That's funny. Yeah.

55:35 You know, putting that together. I don't know. He didn't tell me. I don't have very, uh, would say insight in that. Don't nobody go out there and say, God told Dean that Gideon was a breadwinner. Maryland used the term, my wife would use it and said, yeah, bread helps you spread. So that's why. But don't we call, don't we call the head of the house, the breadwinner? Yeah, right. We do. Yeah, we do. Yeah. That is so cool. And we even talk about wealth as being bread. That's correct. So Jesus is all of these things to us. Yeah. You know, I would say, as we had that question earlier, those that are out there, they get comments to this. What did you, what was significant about this and opened your eyes to see about bread?

56:23 You know, and you know, even though when you get to heaven, I'm there, Jesus is there, you're there, we're all there. He's still the bread of life. He's still the bread of life. I'll never forget how I was being so satisfied when I was giving him praise that it seemed like I was eating. That's the best way I could describe it because I was before the bread of life and he was giving me life and in the praise I was saying to him. So, man, I'm excited. Hey, can I put a plug in and just this last little bit of some of you out there, you can go to DeanBraxton .com. We're going to go to Israel this next year on the 24th through the 2nd of November, me and the books, David, Diane, and Wes are going to Israel on a tour. And so we do have a few openings to laugh, but not a whole lot. And you may want to go.

57:21 So I would ask you to look it up or get ahold of us and see if there's any more openings, if you want to go to Israel. We're going to have a, this is a tour. that myself, I'm a part of with these people. What'd you say the name was? Did I say the name wrong? David, Donna and Wes. David and Donna. Yeah, David and Donna. You guys know them. They're going to be, aren't they coming to... Yes. Yeah, they're coming to convention. Yeah, they'll be with us. Yeah, they're coming to convention this year. Yeah, they'll be there too. And so, and I think they're leading the tour. I'm going and then we're going to have a great time. And so if any of you want to sign up and come to that, you know, just get a hold of us and we'll show you how to do that and that type of thing. And I hope by the time this is shown, we still have openings because it's filling up. There'll be 35 of us, not a huge group. That's a nice size. That's perfect size. Good. That's the kind we like. Okay. Well, thank you so much.

58:20 Do you want to pray for our people that have been listening? Yeah, let me pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for each and every person that's watching this. Father, help them have the insight, just like Gwen had around the light and blood, about this bread and the significance of it, which is you, Father, which is your son, rather, and help them see it in such a way that they've never seen it before, that it enhances their ability, Lord, to move forward in your kingdom. I pray for healing for those out there, Lord, that they take part in this daily bread so their body is healed in the name of Jesus. I'm not just talking about communion. Father, I'm talking about just the bread of life that you want to give us on a daily basis. Father, there's many people out there right now that are struggling with some physical ailment and they need to be healed. So I'm asking that you show them how to take part in this bread so their body is being nourished. Not just the part that needs to be nourished to be healed, but the entire body. every molecule or atom, Lord, would be nourished by you. I thank you, Father, for delivering those today that have some kind of situation in their life that they think is just impossible to be taken care of. You know, you are the God that can do the impossible. So, Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that you do the impossible in their life and it changes. And Father, there's somebody that's addicted to drugs, you know, whether it's alcohol or some other and this is a drug, Lord, maybe it's even prescription drugs,

59:51 deliver them. Their family's been praying for them, Lord, their family is hoping for this to happen. So Father, in the name of Jesus, we just speak life into their bodies and we tell the enemy of God, you have to go now. You cannot have them, they are not yours. They've been bought by the blood of Jesus. So Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for sharing and feeling how you're working in their lives. And Lord, just global outpouring, just show it everywhere. You know, have it not just being poor, but saturating areas, Father. So that people's lives are changed in such a matter through this ministry. I just thank you, Lord, that you love us so much and we're so precious to you. And Father, someone may be listening to this right now that don't even know what we're talking about. Lord, introduce yourself to them in such a way that they make that decision to make you Lord and Lord of their life. King of King of their life and that they move from this moment on with the life giver, the bread giver, that one that came down from heaven to make sure that they can have life and life more abundantly because they're not living it, but they can have it by accepting you into their lives. All you have to do, you that are listening to that part of say, ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and that you're going to believe in Him and wanting to come into your life. And He will do that. That simple. In Jesus' name, Amen. Amen. Check out our website at globaloutpouring
