“Jesus Is Jehovah in the Flesh” Part 1 (336)
You’ve probably heard that Jesus is the Son of God, and you’ve probably also heard that Jesus and the Father are One. Jesus said it Himself all throughout the Gospels. But how can they be different and the same all at once? If you’ve struggled to wrap your head around this concept, this episode is for you!
Join the Busses for a journey through the Scriptures as they reveal the parallels between what the Father says about Himself in the Old Testament, what is spoken of Jesus in prophecy, and what Jesus says of Himself in the New Testament. Explore this profound connection, looking into the Hebrew names of Yehovah (the One who was, who is, and who is to come), and Jesus (who is the same yesterday, today, and forever)! They also dig into the nature of the Father and Jesus as the eternal, unchanging source of salvation, life, and peace. You will love this revelatory Bible study!

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.799
And his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor,
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:06.419
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.960
So this is all about Jesus coming, right? Yeah.
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.359
And his name will be called Wonderful, which
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:16.379
in the Hebrew, I think it could easily be translated
00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:23.059
Miracle Worker, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
00:00:23.059 --> 00:00:27.160
Father. Wait a minute. He's the Son. What does
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:34.009
this mean? God promises in Joel 2 .28 to pour
00:00:34.009 --> 00:00:37.329
out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global
00:00:37.329 --> 00:00:39.609
Outpouring, where we contend for that promised
00:00:39.609 --> 00:00:42.750
outpouring, we equip for that outpouring, so
00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:46.130
that we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm
00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:48.710
Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to
00:00:48.710 --> 00:00:52.109
the podcast today. We're going to dig deep into
00:00:52.109 --> 00:00:55.530
the Scriptures today. We have an episode here
00:00:55.530 --> 00:01:00.710
about something I've been studying for... years,
00:01:00.710 --> 00:01:03.609
I think. And I've been compiling scriptures,
00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:07.609
putting scripture with scripture, and it's really
00:01:07.609 --> 00:01:13.469
an exciting study to me about how Jesus is Jehovah
00:01:13.469 --> 00:01:19.189
in the flesh. Thanks for joining us today. We're
00:01:19.189 --> 00:01:21.750
so glad that you're with us. We're looking forward
00:01:21.750 --> 00:01:24.390
to spending this time digging, digging, digging
00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:26.950
into the Word of God and making it come alive
00:01:26.950 --> 00:01:30.790
so that we're going to be more equipped with
00:01:30.790 --> 00:01:33.489
understanding, more equipped with knowing our
00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:37.090
Father, knowing Jesus for who He is. But before
00:01:37.090 --> 00:01:39.269
we get started, we want to encourage you, if
00:01:39.269 --> 00:01:41.650

that's what we want to do is equip you and help

you to contend for this outpouring in your own
00:02:49.699 --> 00:02:53.159
life so that you can participate in the big thing
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.759
that God is doing already and is going to do
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:01.120
in a much bigger way as time goes on. And if
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.039
you're feeling led by the Holy Spirit, would
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.759
you consider giving a donation to help us get
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.919
this podcast out to the nations? We really want
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.780
to reach the nations, and we love to go to the
00:03:13.780 --> 00:03:15.860
nations. We haven't been to the nations in a
00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:18.659
long time. COVID shut us down from our travel.
00:03:18.699 --> 00:03:21.099
We used to be traveling three and four times
00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:24.780
a year overseas. It just hasn't happened again.
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.819
So if you're watching from someplace in the nations
00:03:28.819 --> 00:03:31.879
and you want us to come, send us an invitation,
00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:35.400
feedback at globaloutpouring .org, and we will
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.500
pray into that. So today, we're looking at this
00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:44.680
subject that Jesus is Yehovah or Jesus is Jehovah
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:49.219
in the flesh. For years, I didn't understand
00:03:49.219 --> 00:03:54.939
the idea of the Trinity, you know, how Jesus
00:03:54.939 --> 00:03:59.000
and the Father and the Holy Spirit are one. And
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.759
I kind of struggled with that identity of Jesus
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.639
being separate from God, and yet he's God himself.
00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:08.659
And, you know, it was just kind of a big question
00:04:08.659 --> 00:04:13.169
mark in my head. And as I began to study deeper
00:04:13.169 --> 00:04:16.790
in the Word of God, I was beginning to grab what
00:04:16.790 --> 00:04:19.930
it is that God is trying to show us about himself
00:04:19.930 --> 00:04:23.470
and show us about how Jesus and the Father are
00:04:23.470 --> 00:04:29.850
so one, absolutely one. So let's just start with
00:04:29.850 --> 00:04:32.569
Isaiah 9 -6. This will just give us a kickoff.
00:04:33.209 --> 00:04:37.490
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
00:04:37.490 --> 00:04:40.680
given. And the government will be upon his shoulder.
00:04:41.060 --> 00:04:44.360
And his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor,
00:04:44.379 --> 00:04:48.000
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.519
So this is all about Jesus coming, right? Yeah.
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.800
And his name will be called Wonderful, which
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.819
in the Hebrew, I think it could easily be translated
00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:03.019
Miracle Worker. He's doing wonders. That's what
00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:10.079
wonderful means. Counselor. Mighty God. Everlasting
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:14.759
Father? Wait a minute. He's the Son. This name
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.600
that was given to him includes Everlasting Father.
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.720
Hmm. What does this mean? Prince of Peace. We
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:25.600
understand Prince of Peace. We can see him as
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.540
the Prince of Peace. But have you ever seen him
00:05:28.540 --> 00:05:32.519
as the Everlasting Father? Yes. That's what we're
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.680
going to dig into. So, we've covered this. at
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.180
other times, but I feel like it's foundational
00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:45.060
to this particular episode to talk about who
00:05:45.060 --> 00:05:49.220
is the Lord? Who is this person? You know, we've
00:05:49.220 --> 00:05:53.100
lost so much in our translations. Just remember
00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:57.500
that every Bible that we have in English is a
00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:02.819
translation. It's not the original, and none
00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:06.019
of them are perfect. I'm sorry for the people
00:06:06.019 --> 00:06:08.540
who love King James above all others. And I use
00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:11.379
King James first and foremost. It's where I've
00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:16.220
got all my notes. And I shudder to think to start.
00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:19.439
I can't imagine having to start over. I've got
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.300
all my little tiny notes. And I love my King
00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:25.740
James Bible. So I'm not against King James. But,
00:06:25.819 --> 00:06:28.620
you know, that's Elizabethan English. And we
00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:31.699
don't talk that way anymore. And all these other
00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:37.259
Bibles just, just. to touch on this. The thing
00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:40.100
that's complicated about the different translations
00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:46.399
is that some translations are going from a certain
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.160
set of manuscripts, and other translations are
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.920
going from another set of manuscripts, which
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:58.680
they say are older. Bottom line is, you have
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:05.170
to understand that manuscripts are handwritten.
00:07:05.430 --> 00:07:08.970
Copy after copy. And it's copy after copy after
00:07:08.970 --> 00:07:14.189
copy after copy. And sometimes what happens is
00:07:14.189 --> 00:07:20.009
that the copyist or the scribe that is making
00:07:20.009 --> 00:07:25.670
this manuscript makes a note in the margin about
00:07:25.670 --> 00:07:31.970
what it says in the actual scripture. And sometimes
00:07:31.970 --> 00:07:36.850
what happens is those notes wander into, they
00:07:36.850 --> 00:07:40.970
get incorporated into the manuscript itself.
00:07:41.550 --> 00:07:45.129
So, you know, sometimes a note in the margin
00:07:45.129 --> 00:07:50.089
becomes scripture. And we can get offended if
00:07:50.089 --> 00:07:53.769
a note is left out or if a note is included or
00:07:53.769 --> 00:07:57.949
whatever. And I just think that if you really
00:07:57.949 --> 00:08:02.990
look at the translations and compare them. Compare
00:08:02.990 --> 00:08:05.509
scripture with scripture. This is one way to
00:08:05.509 --> 00:08:08.029
do it. Compare scripture with scripture. Compare
00:08:08.029 --> 00:08:11.290
translation with translation. Some of them say
00:08:11.290 --> 00:08:13.730
things one way, some of them say things another
00:08:13.730 --> 00:08:16.949
way, but basically they're all saying the same
00:08:16.949 --> 00:08:20.990
thing, just maybe changing the words a little
00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:25.029
bit. And sometimes the words themselves can mean
00:08:25.029 --> 00:08:29.750
both things. So, you know, we can get into arguments
00:08:29.750 --> 00:08:34.629
and judgments about these things when our father
00:08:34.629 --> 00:08:38.129
isn't arguing. You know, on a side note, there
00:08:38.129 --> 00:08:41.350
is a day in Chicago they call Shakespearean Day.
00:08:41.490 --> 00:08:45.509
Oh, yeah. That nose goes around speaking thus
00:08:45.509 --> 00:08:49.889
thou and thee. That happened after I was, so
00:08:49.889 --> 00:08:53.169
I missed that. Well, I think we who read the
00:08:53.169 --> 00:08:55.610
King James Version would be very good at that.
00:08:55.789 --> 00:08:59.289
We could be good. Yeah, it's the same lingo that
00:08:59.289 --> 00:09:02.830
Shakespeare used. And if we're teaching Shakespeare
00:09:02.830 --> 00:09:05.950
in our high schools and colleges, there's no
00:09:05.950 --> 00:09:09.269
reason why we can't learn to speak. King Jamesese.
00:09:09.570 --> 00:09:12.789
The King James Version isn't perfect either.
00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:18.210
And if you get one of these Bibles that has footnotes
00:09:18.210 --> 00:09:21.250
or marginal notes, you'll find that there are
00:09:21.250 --> 00:09:24.769
words that are corrected in the margin, that
00:09:24.769 --> 00:09:28.009
the manuscript says this instead of what was
00:09:28.009 --> 00:09:31.309
translated. And many times, too, like when Jesus
00:09:31.309 --> 00:09:34.559
was crucified in the King James, it'll... And
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.659
all of them will say, the Jews did this, the
00:09:36.659 --> 00:09:39.519
Jews did that. So it makes like the Jews were
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.759
at fault when they were all Jews. Right, they
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.679
were all Jews. And when I look, because you can
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:48.059
find that all throughout the New Testament, and
00:09:48.059 --> 00:09:51.080
that would give reason for somebody that can
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.320
think, well, the Jews did that to Jesus when
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:57.100
Jesus was a Jew. He's the giant of the tribe
00:09:57.100 --> 00:10:00.659
of Judah. He wears a prayer shawl. Right. The
00:10:00.659 --> 00:10:04.110
little fringes. on his garment, which the woman
00:10:04.110 --> 00:10:07.990
with the issue of blood went and touched. That's
00:10:07.990 --> 00:10:12.090
our original translation. And so the way things
00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:15.309
are translated can cause things to be taken the
00:10:15.309 --> 00:10:17.289
wrong way, and sometimes that's done on purpose.
00:10:17.690 --> 00:10:20.490
Very true, very true. Lots of times translations
00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:26.600
are done with the intent to prove. the doctrinal
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.980
stance that the person has rather than getting
00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:33.159
your doctrinal stance from what the Word says.
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.639
But it happens. It happens. And, you know, I
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.120
have to guard against that myself. So to Philip's
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.080
point, the way that the Jews are referred to,
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:47.000
I think we have to look back at the geography
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:51.639
of Israel and how Jesus had most of his ministry.
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.899
in the Galilee. And the Galilee area, I'm sure
00:10:56.899 --> 00:10:59.559
that there were Jews or people from the tribe
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.600
of Judah that lived there. But originally, that
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:07.279
was the area of Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.919
and Ephraim and Manasseh, all those other tribes.
00:11:12.299 --> 00:11:18.710
So potentially, it could be that Jesus was going
00:11:18.710 --> 00:11:22.450
into the tribal area of Judea. And I think that's
00:11:22.450 --> 00:11:26.669
very clear that when they were on their way to
00:11:26.669 --> 00:11:29.669
Jerusalem, they were talking about going back
00:11:29.669 --> 00:11:34.090
into Judea. And the Galilee was not Judea. But
00:11:34.090 --> 00:11:36.809
Judea would have been the place where the majority
00:11:36.809 --> 00:11:40.649
of the Jews would be living. And when I say the
00:11:40.649 --> 00:11:42.970
Jews, I'm talking about the people from the tribe
00:11:42.970 --> 00:11:48.259
of Judah. Now, You know, Bethlehem was in that
00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:51.679
tribal area of Judah. So Jesus was born there.
00:11:51.779 --> 00:11:54.860
He's of the tribe of Judah. You know, he's the
00:11:54.860 --> 00:11:58.940
descendant of David. David was the king of the
00:11:58.940 --> 00:12:02.519
Jews at the time. He was from the tribe of Judah.
00:12:02.580 --> 00:12:05.879
So when it's talking about the Jews and all of
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.509
the problem that was there. It's not that all
00:12:09.509 --> 00:12:12.350
of the Jews were the problem, but the people
00:12:12.350 --> 00:12:14.809
who were the problem just happened to be of the
00:12:14.809 --> 00:12:17.450
tribe of Judah. And they were ruling people.
00:12:17.629 --> 00:12:21.269
They were of the aristocracy, I guess you could
00:12:21.269 --> 00:12:25.149
say. So that was an issue in the time of Jesus.
00:12:25.250 --> 00:12:28.389
And it's an issue now when we're having this
00:12:28.389 --> 00:12:32.370
increase of anti -Semitism in our society to
00:12:32.370 --> 00:12:35.669
misunderstand what's really meant in the scripture.
00:12:36.350 --> 00:12:39.909
when we're talking about the Jews, it's not that
00:12:39.909 --> 00:12:43.389
everybody from the tribe of Judah was responsible
00:12:43.389 --> 00:12:46.809
for Jesus being crucified. And that's just ridiculous.
00:12:46.929 --> 00:12:49.769
That's the accuser of the brethren that is operating
00:12:49.769 --> 00:12:54.970
to try and bring about division and hatred of
00:12:54.970 --> 00:12:59.090
the Jews. So anyway, let's go back to our study
00:12:59.090 --> 00:13:03.149
here about who is Jesus and who is the Father
00:13:03.149 --> 00:13:07.350
in the Old Testament. His name, I started out
00:13:07.350 --> 00:13:11.210
talking about the translations and how in English,
00:13:11.429 --> 00:13:15.929
so many of our translations just say Lord, where
00:13:15.929 --> 00:13:19.590
his actual name is present, especially the King
00:13:19.590 --> 00:13:22.570
James and several other translations. They will
00:13:22.570 --> 00:13:26.299
put the letters. capital L, capital O, capital
00:13:26.299 --> 00:13:30.419
R, capital D. And when you see that, you know
00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:34.799
that his actual name is written in the original
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:40.360
Hebrew script. And the actual name is Yehovah.
00:13:40.379 --> 00:13:43.600
The pronunciation of the name is Yehovah. We've
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.919
talked about this before. If you call him Yahweh,
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.480
he's listening to your heart. That's not the
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:53.120
correct pronunciation. That's a Christian construct.
00:13:53.299 --> 00:13:55.639
A Christian theologian centuries and centuries
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:59.460
ago came up with that idea. And it is a construct
00:13:59.460 --> 00:14:04.879
of the verb to be that is never used in the Hebrew
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:09.960
Bible. So it technically would mean he who creates,
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.519
but it doesn't actually ever say that. in the
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:17.039
Scripture. So, let me just give you this piece.
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:21.080
This is quoted from Nehemia Gordon, where he's
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:26.679
talking about Exodus 3, where, well, before I
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.559
read that, Philip, why don't you read Exodus
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:32.539
3, 13 to 16? Then Moses said to God, Indeed,
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.399
when I come to the children of Israel and say
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:38.000
to them, The God of your fathers has sent me
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.360
to you. And they say to me, What is his name?
00:14:41.539 --> 00:14:45.039
What shall I say to them? And God said to Moses,
00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:49.919
I am who I am. And he said, Thus you shall say
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:53.019
to the children of Israel, I am has sent me to
00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:56.679
you. Moreover, God said to Moses, Thus you shall
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.720
say to the children of Israel, Yehold the God
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.360
of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.980
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob has sent me to
00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:09.820
you. This is my name forever, and this is my
00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:13.730
memorial to all generations. Go and gather the
00:15:13.730 --> 00:15:16.950
elders of Israel together and say to them, Yehovah
00:15:16.950 --> 00:15:20.370
God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac,
00:15:20.429 --> 00:15:23.710
and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have
00:15:23.710 --> 00:15:26.590
surely visited you and seen what is done to you
00:15:26.590 --> 00:15:32.750
in Egypt. So when he says, I am that I am, or
00:15:32.750 --> 00:15:37.990
I am who I am, that is not actually his name.
00:15:38.129 --> 00:15:42.879
But as we've said before, names... in Hebrew
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:47.399
have to do with something about who you are,
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.659
who you're going to be, something about the circumstances
00:15:50.659 --> 00:15:54.100
of your birth, those kind of things are inherent
00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:58.559
in your name. So what he's explaining is, this
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.639
is who I am. This is what I am. So my name comes
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.860
out of that. So Nehemia Gordon says, Echiei Asher
00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:12.399
Echiei, that's I am that I am. The word ehyeh
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:19.500
is an imperfect verb meaning to be. Now, from
00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:23.539
what I've been learning about Hebrew, there are
00:16:23.539 --> 00:16:26.220
perfect verbs and there are imperfect verbs.
00:16:26.659 --> 00:16:29.220
It's about the conjugation of the verb itself.
00:16:29.500 --> 00:16:33.179
So you can conjugate it perfect or imperfect.
00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:37.000
And perfect means it is what it is. It's a done
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.620
deal. It means it's complete. It's perfect. It's
00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:45.039
done. And an imperfect verb means it's continuous.
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.419
There's no past tense and future tense and present
00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:52.919
tense. It's either done or it's continuing, which
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.080
I love because that means that whatever God said
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.820
already is. We may not have seen it manifest
00:16:59.820 --> 00:17:03.340
yet, but it already is because he said it. So
00:17:03.340 --> 00:17:06.339
we can count on it. We can count on his promises.
00:17:07.609 --> 00:17:09.829
Just to carry on with this, I wanted to explain
00:17:09.829 --> 00:17:14.309
what an imperfect verb is. In later Hebrew, the
00:17:14.309 --> 00:17:16.910
imperfect form took on the meaning of future.
00:17:17.250 --> 00:17:20.769
But in biblical Hebrew, it primarily expresses
00:17:20.769 --> 00:17:24.970
a repetitive action. In plain English, ehyeh
00:17:24.970 --> 00:17:27.849
means I am now and I will continue to be in the
00:17:27.849 --> 00:17:31.990
future. Isn't that beautiful? This is why ehyeh,
00:17:31.990 --> 00:17:35.930
asher ehyeh, can be translated as I am that which
00:17:35.930 --> 00:17:40.049
I am. but also I will be that which I will be.
00:17:40.589 --> 00:17:43.269
Both of these translations are correct, even
00:17:43.269 --> 00:17:47.170
if they're a little bit inaccurate. An accurate
00:17:47.170 --> 00:17:50.789
translation will be, I am now and will continue
00:17:50.789 --> 00:17:54.210
to be in the future, that which I am now and
00:17:54.210 --> 00:17:56.410
will continue to be in the future. And I guess
00:17:56.410 --> 00:17:58.569
you could probably just keep repeating that.
00:17:59.190 --> 00:18:03.150
So Yehovah comes from the same root as Echyei.
00:18:03.690 --> 00:18:07.549
Yehovah is actually a combination of three verb
00:18:07.549 --> 00:18:13.490
forms, haya he was, hove he is, and yehyeh he
00:18:13.490 --> 00:18:16.470
is now and will continue to be in the future.
00:18:16.730 --> 00:18:21.769
Together, haya, can you hear the name Yehovah
00:18:21.769 --> 00:18:26.789
in it? Haya, hove, yehyeh combine into the name
00:18:26.789 --> 00:18:30.890
Yehovah. So that's just a little understanding
00:18:30.890 --> 00:18:36.210
of When you see his name, you're talking about
00:18:36.210 --> 00:18:39.049
the eternal one. You're talking about the one
00:18:39.049 --> 00:18:41.750
who always was, who always is, and who always
00:18:41.750 --> 00:18:43.950
will be what he is, and will always will be what
00:18:43.950 --> 00:18:47.329
he is. And we lose that when we just call him
00:18:47.329 --> 00:18:53.490
Lord. You know, there's so much there. So many
00:18:53.490 --> 00:18:56.539
things are called Lord. Yeah, and that's true.
00:18:56.980 --> 00:19:00.579
That'll be a subject for another time. So, would
00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:04.180
you read Isaiah 6 -3? And one cried to another
00:19:04.180 --> 00:19:07.799
and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.
00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:11.500
So, his name there, Lord, is Yehovah. The whole
00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:16.200
earth is full of his glory. So, holy, holy, holy
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:21.079
is Yehovah Tzavaot, is how it is in Hebrew. The
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.140
whole earth is full of his glory. It's saying,
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:28.079
holy, holy, holy is the one who was and who is
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:30.460
and who always will be what he is and who always
00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:32.420
will be what he is and who always will be what
00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:37.319
he is. Now, look at Revelation 4 .8. The four
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:39.859
loving creatures, each having six wings, were
00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:43.099
full of eyes around them within, and they do
00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:46.420
not rest day or night, saying, holy, holy, holy,
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:50.700
Lord God Almighty, who was and who is and who
00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:53.529
is to come. See, they're just saying his name.
00:19:53.809 --> 00:19:58.809
And I asked Dean about this. Did he hear that
00:19:58.809 --> 00:20:02.289
in heaven? Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty,
00:20:02.450 --> 00:20:04.369
who was and who is and who is to come. And he
00:20:04.369 --> 00:20:08.309
said he did hear that. But in the Old Testament
00:20:08.309 --> 00:20:13.650
version, they understand or they understood the
00:20:13.650 --> 00:20:17.549
idea that Yehovah means that. It means he who
00:20:17.549 --> 00:20:20.900
was and who is and who is to come. And so they
00:20:20.900 --> 00:20:24.940
just use his name, Yehovah Tzavaot. Holy, holy,
00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:29.099
holy is Yehovah Tzavaot. In the Greek, they spell
00:20:29.099 --> 00:20:31.859
it out for us because they're not getting his
00:20:31.859 --> 00:20:35.539
name in that context. But it means the same thing.
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:39.200
So he's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:20:39.380 --> 00:20:43.039
He's the same in the Old Testament as in the
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:46.039
New Testament. Now, let's look at Hebrews 13
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:50.859
.8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:55.400
and forever. Okay. So here we have a witness
00:20:55.400 --> 00:21:02.460
that Jesus has the same name, so to speak, of
00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:06.240
the one who was and who is and who is to come.
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:09.880
He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:14.119
It's Yehovah. Does that make sense? Yeah. I think
00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:19.400
it's beautiful. You do explain so well. So let's
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.980
look at Yehovah or Jehovah, whichever way you,
00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:27.140
it's anglicized Jehovah. No, there's no J sound
00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:31.359
in Hebrew. That's right. So Yehovah is salvation
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:36.740
and salvation is the word Yeshua. So would you
00:21:36.740 --> 00:21:40.859
read for us Exodus 15 too? The Lord is my strength
00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:44.829
and song. And he has become my salvation. He
00:21:44.829 --> 00:21:47.930
is my God, and I will praise him. My Father is
00:21:47.930 --> 00:21:52.069
God, and I will exalt him. Amen. So Yehovah,
00:21:52.329 --> 00:21:55.009
and there it is, the Lord again in caps. The
00:21:55.009 --> 00:22:01.789
Lord has become my salvation. Yeah. Hint. There's
00:22:01.789 --> 00:22:06.809
a hint for us. 2 Samuel 22, 1 -4. Then David
00:22:06.809 --> 00:22:09.390
spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the
00:22:09.390 --> 00:22:11.589
day when the Lord had delivered him from the
00:22:11.589 --> 00:22:15.230
hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of
00:22:15.230 --> 00:22:19.049
Saul. And he said, The Lord is my rock and my
00:22:19.049 --> 00:22:22.609
fortress and my deliverer, the God of my strength,
00:22:22.650 --> 00:22:25.630
in whom I will trust, my shield and the horn
00:22:25.630 --> 00:22:29.450
of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge,
00:22:29.690 --> 00:22:33.549
my Savior. He saved me from the violence. I will
00:22:33.549 --> 00:22:36.410
call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised.
00:22:36.609 --> 00:22:41.869
So shall I be saved from my enemies. Amen. The
00:22:41.869 --> 00:22:45.630
Lord reigneth. Yes. So it says here, my Savior.
00:22:45.970 --> 00:22:49.630
And Savior and salvation all come from the same
00:22:49.630 --> 00:22:53.910
root word, and so does the name Yeshua. So Yeshua,
00:22:54.210 --> 00:22:58.369
Jesus, means Savior, and it means salvation.
00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:02.859
So God is our salvation. He's my savior, right?
00:23:03.099 --> 00:23:06.559
So Isaiah 12, 2, what does that say? And this
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:09.200
is from the Young's literal translation. So it's
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:12.160
a little bit different kind of word order and
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:16.660
things. No, God is my salvation. I trust and
00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:20.619
fear not. For my strength and song is Yah Yehovah.
00:23:21.059 --> 00:23:26.220
And he is to me for salvation. Yah Yehovah. Sometimes
00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:30.089
his name is... spelled out Yah, like we see it
00:23:30.089 --> 00:23:34.089
most in Hallelujah. And it's only used one time,
00:23:34.170 --> 00:23:36.190
I think, in scripture by itself, and that's,
00:23:36.190 --> 00:23:38.950
he rides across the heavens by his name, Yah.
00:23:39.269 --> 00:23:41.269
Well, that's where we see it. We only see one
00:23:41.269 --> 00:23:43.710
place in English, but here it is in the Hebrew.
00:23:44.089 --> 00:23:47.609
In the Hebrew, Isaiah 12, 2 says, for my strength
00:23:47.609 --> 00:23:52.049
and song is Yah, Yehovah. Hadn't seen it that
00:23:52.049 --> 00:23:54.380
way before, so I thought I'd include it. And
00:23:54.380 --> 00:23:57.819
he is to me for salvation. He is that Yeshua,
00:23:58.099 --> 00:24:04.400
right? Psalm 27 .1. By David, Yehovah is my light
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:08.099
and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yehovah
00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:11.619
is the strength of my life. Of whom am I afraid?
00:24:12.859 --> 00:24:17.720
Selah. If you have any kind of fears in your
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.930
life, Just sink down into your relationship with
00:24:21.930 --> 00:24:24.589
your Father. Sink down into your relationship
00:24:24.589 --> 00:24:28.829
with Jesus. You are in Him. He is in you if you've
00:24:28.829 --> 00:24:33.410
invited Him to be. Then you have nothing to fear.
00:24:33.769 --> 00:24:37.269
He hasn't given you fear. He's given you power
00:24:37.269 --> 00:24:41.109
and love and a sound mind. So press into Him
00:24:41.109 --> 00:24:44.109
if you're struggling with some fear. Here is
00:24:44.109 --> 00:24:48.210
a scripture you can stand on that He's your light.
00:24:48.619 --> 00:24:51.420
It doesn't matter how dark things appear around
00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:54.559
you. He is your light, and he is your salvation,
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:58.599
and there's nothing to fear. So let's go on to
00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:03.920
Isaiah 43 .11. I, I am the Lord, and besides
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.359
me there is no saint. I am Yehovah. There's no
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:12.980
Savior besides me. But I thought Jesus was our
00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:17.920
Savior. They're one. They're one. Okay, yes.
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:23.220
Okay. So what is Matthew 1, 20 to 25? We're going
00:25:23.220 --> 00:25:26.380
now from the Old Testament, looking at what it
00:25:26.380 --> 00:25:29.500
says about Yehovah, what it says about our Father,
00:25:29.619 --> 00:25:34.440
and now we're going to see that it says the same
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:38.200
thing about Jesus. But while he thought about
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.500
these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared
00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:45.099
to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David.
00:25:45.529 --> 00:25:48.089
Do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife,
00:25:48.250 --> 00:25:51.029
for that which is conceived in her is of the
00:25:51.029 --> 00:25:54.089
Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a son,
00:25:54.250 --> 00:25:57.990
and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will
00:25:57.990 --> 00:26:01.329
save his people from their sins. So all this
00:26:01.329 --> 00:26:03.349
was done that it might be fulfilled which was
00:26:03.349 --> 00:26:06.809
spoken by the Lord to the prophets, saying, Behold,
00:26:06.910 --> 00:26:09.529
the virgin shall be with child and bury son,
00:26:09.809 --> 00:26:12.890
and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which
00:26:12.890 --> 00:26:17.500
is translated, God with us. Then Joseph, being
00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:20.539
aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord
00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:23.619
commanded him and took to him his wife and did
00:26:23.619 --> 00:26:26.059
not know her until Sheba had brought forth her
00:26:26.059 --> 00:26:29.160
firstborn son. And he called his name Jesus.
00:26:30.380 --> 00:26:37.160
Amen. Amen. So, if you don't know about Jesus
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.299
and really the Hebrew pronunciation would be
00:26:41.299 --> 00:26:44.650
Yeshua. If you don't know that that comes from
00:26:44.650 --> 00:26:48.049
the word salvation, you would scratch your head,
00:26:48.150 --> 00:26:51.930
you know, call his name Jesus, for he will save
00:26:51.930 --> 00:26:53.529
his people from their sins. What does that have
00:26:53.529 --> 00:26:57.690
to do with it? So what is Jesus' name in the
00:26:57.690 --> 00:27:00.130
New Testament? What's it derived from in the
00:27:00.130 --> 00:27:03.049
Old? What person that went into the promised
00:27:03.049 --> 00:27:05.950
land? Oh, well, you know, it's the same name
00:27:05.950 --> 00:27:09.049
as Joshua. Joshua. Right. Most Christians have
00:27:09.049 --> 00:27:13.569
no idea. that Jesus is derived from Joshua. Yes,
00:27:13.630 --> 00:27:16.690
and you could call him Yehoshua, which means
00:27:16.690 --> 00:27:23.190
Yeho is Yehovah. Yehovah. Shua is that part about
00:27:23.190 --> 00:27:29.230
salvation. Yeah, Joshua. So it's Yehoshua, which
00:27:29.230 --> 00:27:33.779
is, you know, Yehovah saves. Mm -hmm. So his
00:27:33.779 --> 00:27:38.559
name means Jehovah saves. And if you look in
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:43.019
the book of Ezra and Nehemiah, from the time
00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:45.859
when the children of Israel were coming back
00:27:45.859 --> 00:27:51.559
from Babylon, by that time, it was common to
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:56.220
shorten the name Yehoshua to Yeshua. And you'll
00:27:56.220 --> 00:28:00.930
see it both as Yeshua and Yehoshua. where it's
00:28:00.930 --> 00:28:03.970
talking about that character in that time that
00:28:03.970 --> 00:28:11.450
went by that name. They call him Jehoshua in
00:28:11.450 --> 00:28:17.230
the English. The J is really a Y sound. So you'll
00:28:17.230 --> 00:28:19.630
see it in both of those. If you'll study that,
00:28:19.789 --> 00:28:24.170
you'll find that there was a change in the pronunciation
00:28:24.170 --> 00:28:28.230
of Jehoshua. Jesus probably wasn't called Yehoshua.
00:28:28.349 --> 00:28:30.930
He was probably called Yeshua. It was just a
00:28:30.930 --> 00:28:34.609
shortening of the name. So, would you go ahead
00:28:34.609 --> 00:28:39.430
and read Luke 1, 30 -33? Then the angel said
00:28:39.430 --> 00:28:42.309
to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have
00:28:42.309 --> 00:28:45.509
found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive
00:28:45.509 --> 00:28:48.329
in your womb and bring forth a son, and shall
00:28:48.329 --> 00:28:51.990
call his name Jesus. He will be great, and he
00:28:51.990 --> 00:28:54.900
will be called the son of Baha 'is. And the Lord
00:28:54.900 --> 00:28:57.599
God will give him the throne of his father David.
00:28:58.140 --> 00:29:01.140
And he will reign over the house of Jacob forever.
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:06.160
And of his kingdom there will be no end. Amen.
00:29:06.619 --> 00:29:10.200
Amen. So he's the king because he's got a kingdom.
00:29:10.380 --> 00:29:13.799
Yeah. So he's the mighty, mighty king that's
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:17.339
coming. And again, you're seeing the same thing.
00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:20.799
Call his name Jesus. He will be great and called
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:24.730
the son of the highest. it's clear that there's
00:29:24.730 --> 00:29:28.250
a connection between the Father and the Son,
00:29:28.390 --> 00:29:31.269
and that, you know, the Son is in the Father.
00:29:31.869 --> 00:29:35.710
So now we have Yehovah as Redeemer. Let's look
00:29:35.710 --> 00:29:37.670
at that. Well, first of all, let's look at what
00:29:37.670 --> 00:29:42.369
is a Redeemer, okay? In the Old Testament, you
00:29:42.369 --> 00:29:45.829
have these situations where everyone is given
00:29:45.829 --> 00:29:48.950
their portion of the land and within their tribal
00:29:48.950 --> 00:29:53.420
area. And if someone becomes poor, if they have
00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:56.359
some kind of financial situation that they have
00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:59.779
to sell their land, someone who is next of kin
00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:05.500
can redeem that land. Can redeem. Yeah. And it's
00:30:05.500 --> 00:30:08.640
like the story of Ruth. And Boaz, yeah. Yeah,
00:30:08.660 --> 00:30:13.740
where Boaz, he was willing to buy the land that
00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:17.789
belonged to Ruth's husband. But she came with
00:30:17.789 --> 00:30:20.789
the package. And the other guy that was a closer
00:30:20.789 --> 00:30:25.410
kin, closer in kinship, he didn't want to mar
00:30:25.410 --> 00:30:30.549
his family line. So Boaz had an instant wife.
00:30:30.789 --> 00:30:33.869
Yeah, instant wife. Probably a much younger wife.
00:30:34.109 --> 00:30:37.190
And she was beautiful and she was wonderful.
00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:41.839
She was the mother of Obed, who was the father
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.240
of Jesse, who was the father of David. So God
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:47.940
just does these miraculous things. But that's
00:30:47.940 --> 00:30:50.200
the idea of a redeemer. It's someone who steps
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:53.859
up to pay the bill so that you can get out of
00:30:53.859 --> 00:30:58.740
debt. And in another situation, the firstborn
00:30:58.740 --> 00:31:03.519
of every animal belonged to God. So if you have
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:08.039
a donkey born, well, a donkey is an unclean animal.
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:13.259
So the donkey can't be sacrificed. But the Lord
00:31:13.259 --> 00:31:17.619
made a provision for a sheep to be offered instead
00:31:17.619 --> 00:31:22.599
of the donkey to redeem the donkey. And if you're
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:24.059
not going to redeem it, then you've got to break
00:31:24.059 --> 00:31:26.940
its neck because nobody can have it if it's not
00:31:26.940 --> 00:31:32.069
redeemed. So Yehovah. is our Redeemer. Let's
00:31:32.069 --> 00:31:35.190
have a look at the Scriptures for that, Exodus
00:31:35.190 --> 00:31:38.509
6 .6. Therefore say to the children of Israel,
00:31:38.730 --> 00:31:41.589
I am the Lord. I will bring you out from under
00:31:41.589 --> 00:31:44.690
the burdens of the Egyptians. I will rescue you
00:31:44.690 --> 00:31:47.250
from their bondage, and I will redeem you with
00:31:47.250 --> 00:31:49.549
an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
00:31:50.269 --> 00:31:54.529
So he's buying them out of trouble. They're slaves.
00:31:54.849 --> 00:31:57.710
Yeah. They're slaves. They need to be redeemed.
00:31:57.750 --> 00:32:00.609
They need to be set free. Somebody's got to pay
00:32:00.609 --> 00:32:06.069
the price. And so our Father did that with all
00:32:06.069 --> 00:32:09.150
of those plagues and with the death of the firstborn
00:32:09.150 --> 00:32:14.130
of Egypt. So he redeemed them using all of those
00:32:14.130 --> 00:32:16.869
things, right, and showed himself strong. So
00:32:16.869 --> 00:32:20.210
Psalm 1914 talks about the Lord being our Redeemer.
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:22.859
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation
00:32:22.859 --> 00:32:25.819
of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord,
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:30.980
my strength and my Redeemer. Amen. Isaiah 44,
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:35.359
24. Thus says the Lord your Redeemer, And ye
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:38.240
who formed you from the womb, I am the Lord who
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:40.940
makes all things, who stretches out the heavens
00:32:40.940 --> 00:32:44.339
all alone, who spreads abroad the earth by myself.
00:32:44.740 --> 00:32:48.380
He does the whole thing. Yeah. He doesn't need
00:32:48.380 --> 00:32:53.859
our help. So, Isaiah 59, 20. The Redeemer will
00:32:53.859 --> 00:32:57.240
come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.839
in Jacob, says the Lord. So, there's a prophecy.
00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:04.180
There's a Redeemer coming to Zion. Yeah. So,
00:33:04.220 --> 00:33:06.559
what is Galatians 3, 13? We're going to the New
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:09.059
Testament now. We're going to see Jesus. Christ
00:33:09.059 --> 00:33:11.180
has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having
00:33:11.180 --> 00:33:14.819
become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed
00:33:14.819 --> 00:33:18.299
is anyone who hangs on a tree. So Jesus is clearly
00:33:18.299 --> 00:33:21.839
our Redeemer, Galatians 4, 4 -5. But when the
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:24.460
fullness of the time had come, God sent forth
00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:27.519
his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.319
to redeem those who were under the law, that
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:34.160
we might receive the adoption as sons. Redeem
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:39.339
us so we can receive adoption. Yes. We can become
00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:42.859
sons ourselves. Amen? Paul talks about adoption.
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:48.089
Yes, he does. Yes. And Titus 2, 13 or 14. Looking
00:33:48.089 --> 00:33:50.549
for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of
00:33:50.549 --> 00:33:54.029
our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave
00:33:54.029 --> 00:33:56.930
himself for us, that he might redeem us from
00:33:56.930 --> 00:34:00.309
every lawless deed and purify for himself his
00:34:00.309 --> 00:34:04.089
own special people, zealous for good works. So
00:34:04.089 --> 00:34:08.489
his redemption, his redeeming, redeems us from
00:34:08.489 --> 00:34:11.429
every lawless deed. And haven't we all committed
00:34:11.429 --> 00:34:14.710
lawless deeds? I mean, I don't know anybody that's
00:34:14.710 --> 00:34:19.440
perfect, and I certainly am not. But not just
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.420
to redeem us, not just to pay for the mistakes
00:34:22.420 --> 00:34:26.739
that we made, but also to purify us for himself,
00:34:27.059 --> 00:34:30.739
to make us a special people, zealous for good
00:34:30.739 --> 00:34:33.880
works, zealous to do the stuff that he's been
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:37.179
doing all along. He wants to participate with
00:34:37.179 --> 00:34:40.480
us. He wants us to participate with him to do
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:43.300
these amazing works of destroying the works of
00:34:43.300 --> 00:34:48.039
the devil. Amen? Amen. Revelation 5 .9. And they
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:50.940
sing a new song, saying, You are worthy to take
00:34:50.940 --> 00:34:54.559
the scroll and open its seals. For you were slain
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:57.300
and have redeemed us to God by your blood out
00:34:57.300 --> 00:35:00.260
of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
00:35:00.699 --> 00:35:05.699
Amen. So he redeemed us by his blood. Israel
00:35:05.699 --> 00:35:09.760
was redeemed out of Egypt by the blood of the
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:14.480
firstborn of Egypt. Jesus redeemed us by his
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:19.250
own blood. Wow. What love. We don't get it how
00:35:19.250 --> 00:35:22.210
much he loves us. We just don't get it. It's
00:35:22.210 --> 00:35:25.989
too big for us to even comprehend. So now here's
00:35:25.989 --> 00:35:29.909
another thought. Yehovah is the fountain of living
00:35:29.909 --> 00:35:34.949
water. Let's look at Jeremiah 2 .13. For my people
00:35:34.949 --> 00:35:37.789
have committed two evils. They have forsaken
00:35:37.789 --> 00:35:40.789
me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed
00:35:40.789 --> 00:35:43.550
out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns
00:35:43.550 --> 00:35:47.480
that can hold no water. So he is the fountain
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:49.800
of living waters. Our Father is the fountain
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:53.260
of living waters. Okay, we're not going to talk
00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:55.440
about what they did wrong. We're just going to
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:57.659
talk about the fact that he is the fountain of
00:35:57.659 --> 00:36:01.579
living waters. Okay, Jeremiah 17, 13. O Lord,
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:04.239
the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:07.179
be put to shame. Those who turn away from you
00:36:07.179 --> 00:36:09.360
shall be written in the earth, for they have
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:12.199
forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living water.
00:36:12.380 --> 00:36:15.250
Okay, so Yehovah. That's what the L -O -R -D
00:36:15.250 --> 00:36:19.710
is, the fountain of living water. So what does
00:36:19.710 --> 00:36:24.349
Jesus say, John 14, 10? Jesus answered her. Okay,
00:36:24.429 --> 00:36:27.510
who is her? Let's get the context. Jesus is talking
00:36:27.510 --> 00:36:30.690
to the woman at the well. Exactly. Jesus answered
00:36:30.690 --> 00:36:33.750
her, if you knew the gift of God and who it is
00:36:33.750 --> 00:36:37.550
that is saying to you, give me a drink, you would
00:36:37.550 --> 00:36:39.730
have asked him and he would have given you living
00:36:39.730 --> 00:36:44.469
water. So if our Father Yehovah is the fountain
00:36:44.469 --> 00:36:47.630
of living water, what is Jesus? What's his access?
00:36:47.730 --> 00:36:50.889
He's got access also to be the fountain of living
00:36:50.889 --> 00:36:55.949
water. So what does John 7, 37 to 39 say? On
00:36:55.949 --> 00:36:58.650
the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus
00:36:58.650 --> 00:37:02.050
stood up and cried, If anyone thirsts, let him
00:37:02.050 --> 00:37:04.929
come to me and drink. Whosoever believes in me,
00:37:05.010 --> 00:37:07.809
as the scripture has said, out of his heart will
00:37:07.809 --> 00:37:10.860
flow rivers of living water. Now this he said
00:37:10.860 --> 00:37:13.559
about the Spirit, whom those who believed in
00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:16.579
him were to receive. For as yet the Spirit had
00:37:16.579 --> 00:37:19.900
not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet
00:37:19.900 --> 00:37:24.380
glorified. So if anyone thirsts, let him come
00:37:24.380 --> 00:37:28.079
to me and drink. Why? Because he's the fountain
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:32.179
of living waters. And what does Psalm 36, 8 and
00:37:32.179 --> 00:37:35.099
9 say? They feast on the abundance of your house,
00:37:35.260 --> 00:37:37.699
and you give them drink from the river of your
00:37:37.699 --> 00:37:41.210
delights. For with you is the fountain of life,
00:37:41.389 --> 00:37:45.789
in your light do we see light. Amen. So this
00:37:45.789 --> 00:37:48.849
is again back to the Old Testament. For with
00:37:48.849 --> 00:37:52.489
you is the fountain of life. Yeah. So he is the
00:37:52.489 --> 00:37:55.230
fountain of life, and with him is the fountain
00:37:55.230 --> 00:37:57.969
of life. So that's probably Yeshua, right? Yeah.
00:37:58.409 --> 00:38:02.230
Isaiah 12 .3. I love this one. With joy you will
00:38:02.230 --> 00:38:04.889
draw water from the wells of salvation. From
00:38:04.889 --> 00:38:08.809
the wells of Yeshua. Maim, maim. Yes, besasson.
00:38:09.190 --> 00:38:14.429
With joy you will draw waters. Yeshua. Yes. Mimaneha
00:38:14.429 --> 00:38:20.829
Yeshua. Yes. That's it. Isaiah 44 .3. For I will
00:38:20.829 --> 00:38:23.690
pour water on the thirsty land and streams on
00:38:23.690 --> 00:38:26.630
the dry ground. I will pour my spirit upon your
00:38:26.630 --> 00:38:29.329
offspring and my blessings on your descendants.
00:38:29.929 --> 00:38:32.869
Amen. So let's go back to the New Testament again.
00:38:33.289 --> 00:38:38.940
Revelation 22, verses 1, 2, and 17. Then the
00:38:38.940 --> 00:38:41.400
angel showed me the river of the water of life,
00:38:41.619 --> 00:38:44.179
bright as crystal flowing from the throne of
00:38:44.179 --> 00:38:47.239
God and from the Lamb to the middle of the street
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:50.480
of the city. Also on either side of the river,
00:38:50.619 --> 00:38:53.280
the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit,
00:38:53.420 --> 00:38:56.699
yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of
00:38:56.699 --> 00:38:58.840
the tree were for the healing of the nations.
00:38:59.340 --> 00:39:02.340
The Spirit and the bride say, Come, and let the
00:39:02.340 --> 00:39:05.360
one who hears say, Come, and let the one who
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:08.349
is thirsty come. And let the one who desires
00:39:08.349 --> 00:39:12.190
take the water of life without Christ. So we
00:39:12.190 --> 00:39:16.349
see here that the water of life, or the living
00:39:16.349 --> 00:39:21.250
waters, or life that's flowing like water, as
00:39:21.250 --> 00:39:24.730
some who have been to heaven have seen, this
00:39:24.730 --> 00:39:29.550
is flowing from the throne of our Father and
00:39:29.550 --> 00:39:33.440
of the Lamb. So you can see that they're one
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:37.659
in producing the water of life. Yes, wow. Isn't
00:39:37.659 --> 00:39:40.460
that beautiful? Yes. So life comes from them.
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:43.639
Hallelujah. There is no life except it comes
00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:46.800
from them. Yes. Hallelujah. So let's look at
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:49.820
this one. I was surprised when I discovered this.
00:39:50.860 --> 00:39:55.539
Jehovah, or Yehovah, opens blind eyes. Psalm
00:39:55.539 --> 00:39:59.960
146 .8. Jehovah opened the eyes of the blind.
00:40:00.650 --> 00:40:04.949
Jehovah raises up them that are bowed down. Jehovah
00:40:04.949 --> 00:40:07.730
unloved the righteousness. You know, I remember
00:40:07.730 --> 00:40:12.070
what Jesus said to the fraud of the wizard of
00:40:12.070 --> 00:40:15.250
Nazareth, that when you read about them, you
00:40:15.250 --> 00:40:17.750
know, in the Old Testament, that there's nobody
00:40:17.750 --> 00:40:20.510
that opened the eyes of the blind. And he opened
00:40:20.510 --> 00:40:23.969
the eyes of the blind. Surprise! And here it
00:40:23.969 --> 00:40:27.369
is right here in Psalm 146. Yeah, he opens the
00:40:27.369 --> 00:40:31.150
eyes of the blind. I don't think it was ever
00:40:31.150 --> 00:40:34.789
seen, it was never recorded in the Old Testament
00:40:34.789 --> 00:40:37.489
except in this scripture that was prophetic.
00:40:38.630 --> 00:40:42.030
Jehovah opens the eyes of the blind. I took that
00:40:42.030 --> 00:40:47.449
from the ASV. ASV uses the word Jehovah and spells
00:40:47.449 --> 00:40:50.309
it out for us. But it also uses Elizabethan English,
00:40:50.409 --> 00:40:53.750
so I don't use it very often. So what does Matthew
00:40:53.750 --> 00:40:58.429
9, 27 to 30 say? And as Jesus passed by from
00:40:58.429 --> 00:41:01.389
Venice, Two blind men followed him, crying out
00:41:01.389 --> 00:41:04.150
and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David.
00:41:04.670 --> 00:41:07.190
And when he was come into his house, the blind
00:41:07.190 --> 00:41:11.170
man came to him. And Jesus said unto them, Believe
00:41:11.170 --> 00:41:14.449
ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him,
00:41:14.550 --> 00:41:20.510
Yes. Or you could say, Yes. Yes, Lord. Then test
00:41:20.510 --> 00:41:23.070
he their eyes, saying, According to your faith
00:41:23.070 --> 00:41:26.329
be it done unto you. And their eyes were opened.
00:41:26.809 --> 00:41:29.570
And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, She
00:41:29.570 --> 00:41:32.789
had no man, no one. Okay, so Jesus opened the
00:41:32.789 --> 00:41:36.230
eyes of the blind, just like the psalm said,
00:41:36.469 --> 00:41:39.769
that Yehovah opens the eyes of the blind. There
00:41:39.769 --> 00:41:44.989
he is, Yehovah, in an earth suit, opening the
00:41:44.989 --> 00:41:50.269
eyes of the blind. So, Luke 18, 35 -43. And it
00:41:50.269 --> 00:41:53.469
came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a
00:41:53.469 --> 00:41:55.889
certain blind man sat by the wayside, begging.
00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:59.380
And hearing a multitude going by, he inquired
00:41:59.380 --> 00:42:03.000
what this meant. And they told him, Jesus of
00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:05.960
Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus,
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:09.519
thou son of David. How did he know that? Jesus,
00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:13.119
thou son of David, have mercy on me. And they
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:15.460
that went before rebuked him, that he should
00:42:15.460 --> 00:42:18.340
hold his peace. But he cried out the more a great
00:42:18.340 --> 00:42:22.139
deal. Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And
00:42:22.139 --> 00:42:24.619
Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought unto
00:42:24.619 --> 00:42:27.340
him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:30.920
What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:33.960
he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:37.239
Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight, thy faith
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:40.579
as may be whole. And immediately he received
00:42:40.579 --> 00:42:43.639
his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:46.239
all the people, when they saw it, gave praise
00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:50.099
unto God. Praise unto God. Amen. And then we
00:42:50.099 --> 00:42:53.699
also have the... the story in John 9, where Jesus
00:42:53.699 --> 00:42:57.300
uses mud and puts it on the man's eyes, and he
00:42:57.300 --> 00:43:00.699
washes and receives his sight. So over and over,
00:43:00.820 --> 00:43:05.519
Jesus is fulfilling what the Psalm says, that
00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:08.940
Yehovah opens the eyes of the blind. Jesus is
00:43:08.940 --> 00:43:12.880
Yehovah. So Yehovah raises up them that are bowed
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:16.579
down, according to Psalm 146 .8. So what does
00:43:16.579 --> 00:43:21.380
Luke 11 -13 say? And behold, There was a woman
00:43:21.380 --> 00:43:23.900
which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years,
00:43:24.179 --> 00:43:28.159
and was bowed down, and was bowed together, and
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:31.280
could in no wise lift up. And when Jesus saw
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:34.579
her, he called her to him, and said unto her,
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:37.440
Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
00:43:37.940 --> 00:43:40.059
And he laid his hands on her, and immediately
00:43:40.059 --> 00:43:43.260
she was made straight, and glorified God. So
00:43:43.260 --> 00:43:45.940
Yehovah raises up them that are bowed down, and
00:43:45.940 --> 00:43:49.239
there's Jesus doing it. Yeah. So I love this
00:43:49.239 --> 00:43:52.500
next one. I was so excited when I discovered
00:43:52.500 --> 00:43:58.079
this one. Yehovah or Jehovah calms the sea. What
00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:01.239
does Jeremiah 31, 35 say? This is in the Young's
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:05.239
literal translation. The said Yehovah, who is
00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:08.519
giving the sun for a light by day? The statutes
00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:12.039
of moon and stars for a light by now. Quieting
00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:15.119
the sea when its billows roar. Yehovah of hosts
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.679
is his name. So Yehovah of hosts, Jehovah Tzavot,
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:25.880
he quiets the sea. Yeah, in Jeremiah. Okay, we
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:27.900
didn't realize it was in Jeremiah, did we? Yeah,
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:30.579
never on the Sea of Galilee did it happen. Exactly.
00:44:30.820 --> 00:44:35.860
So Isaiah 51 .15, also in the Young's. I am Yehovah,
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:39.260
that God, quieting the sea when its billows roar.
00:44:39.739 --> 00:44:42.980
Yehovah of hosts is his name. That's very similar
00:44:42.980 --> 00:44:45.380
to the previous one, but they're 20 chapters
00:44:45.380 --> 00:44:50.130
apart. Psalm 65, 5 and 7. By awesome deeds you
00:44:50.130 --> 00:44:53.530
answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation.
00:44:53.849 --> 00:44:56.389
The hope of all the ends of the earth and of
00:44:56.389 --> 00:44:59.590
the farthest seas instills the roaring of the
00:44:59.590 --> 00:45:02.630
seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult
00:45:02.630 --> 00:45:05.349
of the peoples. So there he is, the God of our
00:45:05.349 --> 00:45:09.349
salvation, the God of Yeshua. He is calming the
00:45:09.349 --> 00:45:12.090
seas, instills the roaring of the seas, okay?
00:45:12.690 --> 00:45:17.510
Psalm 107, 28 to 30. Then they cried to the Lord
00:45:17.510 --> 00:45:19.530
in their trouble, and he delivered them from
00:45:19.530 --> 00:45:23.250
their distress. He made the storm be still, and
00:45:23.250 --> 00:45:25.949
the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were
00:45:25.949 --> 00:45:28.590
glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought
00:45:28.590 --> 00:45:33.909
them to their daughter Ava. Amen. Amen. So Psalm
00:45:33.909 --> 00:45:39.230
107, verse 29. He maketh the storm a calm, so
00:45:39.230 --> 00:45:43.070
that the waves thereof are still. Psalm 89 .9.
00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:46.980
You rule the raging of the sea. When its waves
00:45:46.980 --> 00:45:50.699
rise, you still them. Okay, so it's very clear
00:45:50.699 --> 00:45:54.039
that this is something that Yehovah does. Yeah.
00:45:54.179 --> 00:45:57.800
And then we have Jesus doing it, Matthew 8, 23
00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:01.360
to 27. And when he entered into a ship, his disciples
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:04.280
followed him. And behold, there arose a great
00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:07.199
tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.269
covered with the waves, but he was asleep. And
00:46:10.269 --> 00:46:12.469
his disciples came to him and awoke him, saying,
00:46:12.610 --> 00:46:16.130
Lord, save us, we perish. And he said unto them,
00:46:16.230 --> 00:46:19.869
Why are ye fearful, or ye of little faith? Then
00:46:19.869 --> 00:46:22.489
he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and
00:46:22.489 --> 00:46:25.889
there was a great calm. But the men marveled,
00:46:25.889 --> 00:46:28.829
saying, What manner of man is this, that even
00:46:28.829 --> 00:46:32.170
the winds and the sea obey him? They didn't get
00:46:32.170 --> 00:46:36.210
it yet, that he was Yehovah in an earth suit.
00:46:36.670 --> 00:46:39.329
They didn't get it. And it has the same story
00:46:39.329 --> 00:46:42.150
in Mark chapter 8 and in Luke chapter 8. Yes,
00:46:42.329 --> 00:46:46.510
yes. And I love this one also, Mark chapter 6,
00:46:46.750 --> 00:46:51.489
45 to 51. Immediately he made his disciples get
00:46:51.489 --> 00:46:53.829
into the boat and go before him to the other
00:46:53.829 --> 00:46:56.829
side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.
00:46:57.409 --> 00:47:00.349
And after he had taken leave of them, he went
00:47:00.349 --> 00:47:03.989
up to the mountain to pray. And when evening
00:47:03.989 --> 00:47:07.469
came, the boat was out on the sea. and he was
00:47:07.469 --> 00:47:10.590
alone on the way. And he saw that they were making
00:47:10.590 --> 00:47:13.530
headway painfully, for the wind was against them.
00:47:13.849 --> 00:47:16.269
And about the fourth watch of the night he came
00:47:16.269 --> 00:47:19.489
to them walking on the sea. He meant to pass
00:47:19.489 --> 00:47:22.030
by them, but when they saw him walking on the
00:47:22.030 --> 00:47:24.690
sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out.
00:47:24.969 --> 00:47:28.690
For they all saw him and were terrified. But
00:47:28.690 --> 00:47:31.690
immediately he spoke to them and said, Take heart,
00:47:31.710 --> 00:47:35.050
it is I, do not be afraid. And he got into the
00:47:35.050 --> 00:47:37.829
boat with them, and the wind ceased, and they
00:47:37.829 --> 00:47:40.750
were utterly astounded. And there was a saying
00:47:40.750 --> 00:47:45.469
we heard of the sailors that were lost on the
00:47:45.469 --> 00:47:48.610
ocean. On the Sea of Galilee. On the Sea of Galilee,
00:47:48.690 --> 00:47:52.369
that their spirits would be there. But it was
00:47:52.369 --> 00:47:55.349
a storm. And so this is what they're thinking
00:47:55.349 --> 00:47:59.269
when they think they're going to die. Yep, yep.
00:47:59.389 --> 00:48:02.340
They're coming to take them to... What is it?
00:48:02.500 --> 00:48:10.079
Davy Jones Locker. That was what the old sailors
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:13.460
used to say, that if you were going to drown,
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:16.699
that's where you were taken, to Davy Jones Locker.
00:48:16.699 --> 00:48:19.239
I don't know who Davy Jones was, but anyway,
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:21.619
he must have been an old sailor. Yeah, that was
00:48:21.619 --> 00:48:26.059
just a little bonus. Yeah, yeah. So this morning,
00:48:26.099 --> 00:48:30.590
I was waiting on the Lord. and asking him, what
00:48:30.590 --> 00:48:38.230
are you seeing? And I received this in my journal,
00:48:38.489 --> 00:48:42.050
because I feel like as we're looking at this
00:48:42.050 --> 00:48:48.369
idea of Jesus is Jehovah, and this idea of he
00:48:48.369 --> 00:48:53.210
calms the waters, he stills the sea, he began
00:48:53.210 --> 00:48:57.300
to speak to me out of this. And he said, What
00:48:57.300 --> 00:49:01.159
does tranquility look like? You are picturing
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:04.340
a mirror -like tranquil mountain lake with no
00:49:04.340 --> 00:49:09.880
wind to disturb the waters. But what if I want
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:13.039
you to see tranquility in the midst of turmoil?
00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:18.079
What if I need you to walk in my deeply founded
00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:22.340
peace in the midst of the storm? What if the
00:49:22.340 --> 00:49:25.019
waves are crashing around you? Will you come
00:49:25.019 --> 00:49:28.199
and walk on the water with me? This is for you
00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:30.579
too. This isn't just for me. This is for all
00:49:30.579 --> 00:49:34.800
of us. You can have the immovable tranquility
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:38.519
of the Mirror Mountain Lake at all times. The
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:41.780
weight of my presence, this is so good, the weight
00:49:41.780 --> 00:49:45.099
of my presence will stop the storm within you
00:49:45.099 --> 00:49:49.400
when the storm is all around you. That's so good.
00:49:49.659 --> 00:49:52.000
I think I need to read that again so you don't
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:56.360
have to rewind. The weight of my presence will
00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:59.260
stop the storm within you when the storm is all
00:49:59.260 --> 00:50:03.260
around you. While walking on the water to me,
00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:06.739
Peter became overwhelmed by the wind and waves
00:50:06.739 --> 00:50:11.659
and began to doubt and sink. While you are no
00:50:11.659 --> 00:50:15.000
better than Peter, you do have the advantage
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:18.300
of the baptism in the Holy Spirit to give you
00:50:18.300 --> 00:50:21.480
the boldness that Peter later received. So he
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:24.679
didn't have it at that moment. And that was part
00:50:24.679 --> 00:50:27.219
of what we were just reading. It was in a different,
00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:30.139
I think it was in the Matthew account where Peter
00:50:30.139 --> 00:50:33.599
is walking on the water. The disciples only grew
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:37.780
bolder as the persecution increased. Meditate
00:50:37.780 --> 00:50:40.199
on this principle to prepare you for the next
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:44.059
season. You must not draw back from conflict
00:50:44.059 --> 00:50:48.440
and stormy seas. I am within you and I still
00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:54.409
calm storms. So this is just the beginning of
00:50:54.409 --> 00:50:57.949
this study. We're going to have a part two. We'll
00:50:57.949 --> 00:51:00.329
have that for the next episode. But I want you
00:51:00.329 --> 00:51:04.849
to focus on, you need to focus on this thought
00:51:04.849 --> 00:51:09.090
that Yehovah calms the storm. Our Father calms
00:51:09.090 --> 00:51:12.429
the storm. And Jesus calms the storm, but the
00:51:12.429 --> 00:51:15.570
most important storm to be calmed is the one
00:51:15.570 --> 00:51:18.769
inside of us. You know, sometimes we have a storm
00:51:18.769 --> 00:51:22.070
in a water glass, and, you know, it's the one
00:51:22.070 --> 00:51:25.969
that's inside. It's that anxiety. It's that depression.
00:51:26.230 --> 00:51:28.829
It's that the words that are coming from the
00:51:28.829 --> 00:51:31.389
accuser of the brethren that's causing us to
00:51:31.389 --> 00:51:34.449
have a storm in our water glass. When he wants
00:51:34.449 --> 00:51:39.769
us to walk in that tranquility, in Him of knowing
00:51:39.769 --> 00:51:45.389
who we are in Him, knowing who He is in us, having
00:51:45.389 --> 00:51:48.909
that peace that passes understanding. I mean,
00:51:48.949 --> 00:51:51.929
if everything all around us is not tranquil,
00:51:52.170 --> 00:51:56.530
we can still be tranquil because the fruit of
00:51:56.530 --> 00:52:03.409
the Holy Spirit is love and joy and peace and
00:52:03.409 --> 00:52:08.780
long -suffering. All those things that are contrary
00:52:08.780 --> 00:52:13.139
to our fleshly nature. We have to walk in the
00:52:13.139 --> 00:52:16.219
Spirit and not in the flesh. And this walking
00:52:16.219 --> 00:52:22.139
in the Spirit is what gives us the boldness to
00:52:22.139 --> 00:52:24.940
step up regardless of what's going on around
00:52:24.940 --> 00:52:28.400
us. There can be raging seas all around us, and
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:34.480
we must not give in to that situation. and our
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:38.480
inner man. Our inner man must retain that tranquility,
00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:42.320
just sink down into the presence of the Lord,
00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:46.380
because it's His presence that, it's the weight
00:52:46.380 --> 00:52:49.420
of His glory, as I just read, it's the weight
00:52:49.420 --> 00:52:51.619
of His glory, it's the weight of His presence
00:52:51.619 --> 00:52:57.579
that calms our raging sea inside of us. So I
00:52:57.579 --> 00:53:00.750
just want to pray for you. Father, in the name
00:53:00.750 --> 00:53:03.409
of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray for our listeners,
00:53:03.570 --> 00:53:07.730
our viewers, Lord, that each and every one of
00:53:07.730 --> 00:53:13.210
us will have a fresh endowment of your Spirit,
00:53:13.409 --> 00:53:17.610
a fresh outpouring in our lives that will bring
00:53:17.610 --> 00:53:21.510
us into a place of greater peace because you
00:53:21.510 --> 00:53:26.190
and the Father are one and you are doing today.
00:53:27.099 --> 00:53:30.340
what it was prophesied in the Hebrew Scriptures
00:53:30.340 --> 00:53:33.199
that you did 2 ,000 years ago when you walked
00:53:33.199 --> 00:53:36.739
the earth, and you're still doing it in us, and
00:53:36.739 --> 00:53:40.159
you want to do it through us. So, Lord, all of
00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:42.679
these things that we've been studying, we ask
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:47.059
you to work that in us by your Spirit, that your
00:53:47.059 --> 00:53:49.440
name will be glorified and your kingdom will
00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:52.500
be built, and that your outpouring of your Spirit
00:53:52.500 --> 00:53:56.719
will flow through us who love you. In Jesus'
00:53:56.920 --> 00:54:23.010
name, amen. Amen. Check out our website at globaloutpouring
