“Unleash the Mighty Power of Holy Communion” (333)

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.040
We're supposed to drink deeply of His love, because

00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:08.759
that's what this cup is really all about. It's

00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:13.919
to drink deeply of His love, because that's what

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:18.300
He gave for us. God so loved the world that He

00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:21.399
gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes

00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.679
in Him should not perish, but have. everlasting

00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.780
life, and it's everlasting life and the everlasting

00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:37.939
love of God. God promises in Joel 2 .28 to pour

00:00:37.939 --> 00:00:41.479
out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global

00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.500
Outpouring, where we contend for that promised

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:46.780
outpouring, we equip for that outpouring, so

00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:49.619
that we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm

00:00:49.619 --> 00:00:52.039
Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.259

00:00:54.259 --> 00:00:57.820
with us. And we have something that's very exciting

00:00:57.820 --> 00:01:00.399
today. I don't know if we've ever done it before,

00:01:00.539 --> 00:01:03.820
but we are going to do it today. And we want

00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:08.859
to invite you to just push pause and go get the

00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:12.439
elements of Holy Communion, because we want to

00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.280
talk about the mighty power of the Holy Communion

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.879
and about unleashing. the mighty power of the

00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.260
Holy Communion. So stop and get the elements,

00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:28.319
whether you use grape juice or wine or some other

00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.780
kind of juice or, you know, Jesus turned the

00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:33.939
water into wine. Get what you can and get some

00:01:33.939 --> 00:01:36.819
kind of bread. We like to use, we like to use

00:01:36.819 --> 00:01:39.980
matzah, but it's not required. And just some

00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:44.099
kind of bread that you can sanctify before the

00:01:44.099 --> 00:01:48.739
Lord to be the connection. with the Lord Jesus

00:01:48.739 --> 00:01:53.260

prayer requests, or if you want to invite us

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.680
to come to minister where you are, or if you

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.840
have an idea for us to do a podcast about, we'd

00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.300
love to take that to the Holy Spirit and see

00:03:27.300 --> 00:03:30.870
what He shows us. to bring for our podcast that

00:03:30.870 --> 00:03:33.629
will help to answer questions for you, help you

00:03:33.629 --> 00:03:37.090
to grow, help you to contend for the outpouring

00:03:37.090 --> 00:03:39.669
where you are and the thing that God has called

00:03:39.669 --> 00:03:42.409
you to do because we want to help to equip you.

00:03:42.750 --> 00:03:45.210
That's what this is all about because the outpouring

00:03:45.210 --> 00:03:48.750
has begun already around the world, and it's

00:03:48.750 --> 00:03:51.930
going to continue to increase and increase and

00:03:51.930 --> 00:03:55.610
increase and increase like Niagara Falls, or

00:03:55.610 --> 00:03:59.509
more so, actually, more than that. So let's get

00:03:59.509 --> 00:04:03.909
into it. As we were having our devotion time

00:04:03.909 --> 00:04:06.669
this morning after breakfast, we were having

00:04:06.669 --> 00:04:09.689
communion. We try to do that every day. We don't

00:04:09.689 --> 00:04:13.449
always manage to, but it's our heart to do so.

00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:16.810
And as we were having communion and praying over

00:04:16.810 --> 00:04:19.050
the communion, it suddenly occurred to me, oh,

00:04:19.189 --> 00:04:22.370
this is something we need to do with our listeners

00:04:22.370 --> 00:04:26.329
and just enjoy the fellowship. I mean, communion

00:04:27.019 --> 00:04:29.379
It was a word that was coined by one of the early

00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:32.920
church fathers, and it means co or together and

00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:37.459
union. So it's to create a union together. And

00:04:37.459 --> 00:04:41.399
that's what it does for us as believers. We find

00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.980
each other more closely in the body of Christ.

00:04:44.339 --> 00:04:47.819
And of course, we're having union with the one

00:04:47.819 --> 00:04:50.759
who gave his life for us. So we're going to go

00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.319
a little bit deeper in some things that maybe,

00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.660
you know, or... Maybe you don't know. We're going

00:04:56.660 --> 00:04:59.379
to hit a lot of scriptures, and we're going to

00:04:59.379 --> 00:05:02.819
talk about people's experiences with Holy Communion

00:05:02.819 --> 00:05:05.779
and all the ways that it can make a difference

00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:08.019
in your life, in the life of your family, and

00:05:08.019 --> 00:05:11.579
in your community. It's very, very powerful.

00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:16.240
So let's get into it. So one of the first principles

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.410
that we learn in the scripture after the fall

00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:24.470
of man, after the fall of Adam. And Adam means

00:05:24.470 --> 00:05:28.449
mankind. It means male and female. I mean, it's

00:05:28.449 --> 00:05:31.629
both male and female. God called their name Adam.

00:05:31.629 --> 00:05:34.230
Called their name Adam. That's interesting. And

00:05:34.230 --> 00:05:38.129
that was after the incident in the garden. Yeah,

00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:40.069
yeah. He called their name Adam. Called their

00:05:40.069 --> 00:05:44.389
name Adam. Yeah, if you go back into the source

00:05:44.389 --> 00:05:48.819
of the word, you find that... Adam, or Adam,

00:05:49.100 --> 00:05:53.360
comes from the word adamah, which means ground,

00:05:53.579 --> 00:06:00.040
out of which Adam was formed. And the word adamah,

00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.279
and I love this, as I was meditating about this

00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:07.680
podcast, this idea came to me, that adamah comes

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:12.629
from the word a dome, I think it is. I didn't

00:06:12.629 --> 00:06:14.910
write it down, so I don't know the exact pronunciation

00:06:14.910 --> 00:06:19.870
from the Hebrew, but it means red. Okay. So you

00:06:19.870 --> 00:06:23.029
can think of the ground as being red, like made

00:06:23.029 --> 00:06:26.069
from red clay or red dust. And it is pretty red

00:06:26.069 --> 00:06:29.370
in the Middle East. It's kind of orangish in

00:06:29.370 --> 00:06:35.089
lots of places. But it also gave me the idea

00:06:35.089 --> 00:06:41.300
that, okay, we're going back to the ground out

00:06:41.300 --> 00:06:43.899
of which we were formed, you know, because of

00:06:43.899 --> 00:06:47.639
sin, our bodies go back to the ground, but it's

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:52.680
the red stuff that makes the difference. Okay?

00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:57.160
So our blood is red. And I remember hearing that

00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.319
during the days of slavery, that there were people

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.560
that had this doctrine and teaching about People

00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:10.040
with dark skin didn't qualify as humans because

00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.740
this word Adam has this meaning of red. So if

00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:17.379
it's not obvious that you can blush, then you

00:07:17.379 --> 00:07:20.060
don't qualify. Well, that's nonsense. Yeah, pretty

00:07:20.060 --> 00:07:23.639
much. Because the Word of God says, I think it's

00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.959
an act, that he made all humankind of one blood.

00:07:31.050 --> 00:07:33.269
Yeah, there's different blood types, but there's

00:07:33.269 --> 00:07:36.569
one blood. There's one kind of red blood, and

00:07:36.569 --> 00:07:39.769
everybody who gets cut bleeds red. Yeah. Okay?

00:07:40.029 --> 00:07:44.389
So this is a picture already at the very beginning

00:07:44.389 --> 00:07:47.750
of, you know, he didn't make us out of the green

00:07:47.750 --> 00:07:52.670
grass. He didn't make us out of, you know, black

00:07:52.670 --> 00:07:55.050
volcanic rock. You have to turn green, you know,

00:07:55.110 --> 00:07:57.009
you got a problem. Yeah, that's for sure. Because

00:07:57.009 --> 00:08:00.850
the person next to you. And he didn't make us

00:08:00.850 --> 00:08:04.790
out of some kind of purple plant. He made us

00:08:04.790 --> 00:08:09.870
out of red soil because he was looking ahead

00:08:09.870 --> 00:08:13.269
to where he would need to shed his blood for

00:08:13.269 --> 00:08:17.810
us because he's the lamb slain from the foundation

00:08:17.810 --> 00:08:22.529
of the world. So already you're seeing the power

00:08:22.529 --> 00:08:25.790
of his blood showing up right from the beginning,

00:08:25.889 --> 00:08:29.199
from creation, right from creation of man. The

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.399
formation of man on the sixth day, right? He

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.500
was made on the sixth day, and that's why we

00:08:34.500 --> 00:08:37.740
consider that six is the number of man, okay?

00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.460
God just had to rest after him. Yeah. I don't

00:08:43.460 --> 00:08:45.019
think it's because he was worn out. I think it's

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:47.220
because he was complete. I think he'd finished

00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:51.580
the job, and it's like, that was good. Let's

00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:55.820
just sit and think about this. But right at the

00:08:55.820 --> 00:09:00.659
beginning. We see after they fell and they realized

00:09:00.659 --> 00:09:05.000
they were naked and they found that, this is

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.620
my interpretation of it, they found probably

00:09:07.620 --> 00:09:10.120
that the fig leaves had dried up and were itchy,

00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:15.100
that God made them coats of skins. Now, there

00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:17.740
are some people that interpret that, that our

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:22.009
skin, this skin, And it could be that that's

00:09:22.009 --> 00:09:25.929
true. But it seems that there must have been

00:09:25.929 --> 00:09:29.210
some kind of sacrifice to cover for that sin.

00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:33.710
and that he would have used animals to use their

00:09:33.710 --> 00:09:37.649
skins to cover Adam and Eve. So that's a principle

00:09:37.649 --> 00:09:40.370
of substitution right from the beginning, that

00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:45.049
God used this substitution. And we know, and

00:09:45.049 --> 00:09:47.070
we've said this fairly recently, but I think

00:09:47.070 --> 00:09:51.230
it's important to say that when God told Adam,

00:09:51.350 --> 00:09:55.009
the day that you eat of that fruit, most of the

00:09:55.009 --> 00:09:58.789
English translations say that you shall surely

00:09:58.789 --> 00:10:03.629
die if you eat that. But the Hebrew says, dying

00:10:03.629 --> 00:10:08.289
you shall die. And so that indicates that here

00:10:08.289 --> 00:10:13.490
is the beginning of the end. As Dean Braxton,

00:10:13.649 --> 00:10:15.809
who went to heaven for an hour and 45 minutes

00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:17.490
and learned lots of things while he was there,

00:10:17.610 --> 00:10:22.110
as he indicates that this in the beginning is

00:10:22.110 --> 00:10:25.389
the beginning of time. And it has to do with

00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:29.559
the judgment of the devil who was thrown out

00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.320
of heaven and it has to do with you know he's

00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:38.139
got a certain amount of time and that time that

00:10:38.139 --> 00:10:42.580
adam adam and eve were not made in time they

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:46.360
were still connected to the eternal until they

00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:51.159
ate the fruit and dean says it's like adam clocked

00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.370
us in You know, like the old time clock. I don't

00:10:54.370 --> 00:10:56.870
know if they use those things anymore, but in

00:10:56.870 --> 00:10:59.710
our day they did. That when you go to work, you

00:10:59.710 --> 00:11:03.090
clock in and you clock the time that you begin

00:11:03.090 --> 00:11:05.129
your work and then you clock out when you're

00:11:05.129 --> 00:11:09.970
done. And Adam clocked us in as human beings

00:11:09.970 --> 00:11:13.909
and we have had this dying you shall die business

00:11:13.909 --> 00:11:18.529
going on for all these generations. But we still

00:11:18.529 --> 00:11:23.289
have this principle of substitution. And, you

00:11:23.289 --> 00:11:25.250
know, God showed it to us at the beginning, and

00:11:25.250 --> 00:11:27.909
it was a picture of what Jesus would be doing

00:11:27.909 --> 00:11:31.090
for us because he was the lamb slain from the

00:11:31.090 --> 00:11:34.750
foundation of the world. So we have that beautiful

00:11:34.750 --> 00:11:38.570
picture in when God told Abraham to sacrifice

00:11:38.570 --> 00:11:41.769
his son, right? What did God give for a substitute

00:11:41.769 --> 00:11:44.730
there? It was a ram. Exactly. Out in a thicket.

00:11:44.909 --> 00:11:47.669
Exactly, by its horns. By its horns, the shofars.

00:11:47.889 --> 00:11:50.509
Yes, yes. And that's the first occasion where

00:11:50.509 --> 00:11:54.710
we see the shofar. And something had to die in

00:11:54.710 --> 00:11:58.929
order for us to have the shofar. And so it's

00:11:58.929 --> 00:12:03.610
a picture of something else dying for us. Something

00:12:03.610 --> 00:12:08.190
else died for Isaac. And it took place on Mount

00:12:08.190 --> 00:12:10.330
Moriah, which that was the place where the temple

00:12:10.330 --> 00:12:13.529
was built. And I believe it was the place where

00:12:13.529 --> 00:12:17.250
Jesus gave his life because I believe that Calvary

00:12:17.250 --> 00:12:21.299
was somewhere there in the quarries. that the

00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:24.820
temple stone was taken from. So wherever it was

00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:28.740
that Abraham bound his son and was ready to sacrifice

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:34.279
him, that's the place where our father sent his

00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:37.440
son to be the sacrifice, and he sacrificed his

00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.200
life for us. So that's a part of this Holy Communion.

00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:44.679
And then, I think we brought this up not too

00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:48.019
long ago, but it's so significant to me that

00:12:48.019 --> 00:12:51.659
when David committed the sin with Bathsheba.

00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.360
First of all, he committed adultery, and then

00:12:55.360 --> 00:13:00.519
he committed murder using the enemy armies when

00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.600
he had Bathsheba's husband sent into battle,

00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:06.360
get him up close, and then pull back from him

00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:08.879
so that he'll surely be killed. And he surely

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:13.409
was. So he was murdered. So David had Adultery.

00:13:13.590 --> 00:13:16.909
And he had blood on his hands. Murder. Now, there's

00:13:16.909 --> 00:13:19.009
a difference between having blood on your hands

00:13:19.009 --> 00:13:23.210
from war when God sent you to war to deal with

00:13:23.210 --> 00:13:26.750
his enemies. That's different. God makes that

00:13:26.750 --> 00:13:32.029
very clear. But it was really murder of Bathsheba's

00:13:32.029 --> 00:13:36.470
husband. And the prophet Nathan came to David

00:13:36.470 --> 00:13:42.220
and said, you will not die from this. But the

00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:48.220
child will die. And so the son of David gave

00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:54.019
his life for David. And that just is amazing

00:13:54.019 --> 00:13:57.299
to me that here is another prefigure of Jesus,

00:13:57.419 --> 00:14:01.120
the son of David, would give his life as a sacrifice.

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:04.500
And it's not like the baby chose to do this.

00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:08.620
The child himself was innocent. But God used

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:12.360
that as yet another picture. of the principle

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:15.559
of substitution where the son of David gave his

00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.480
life for David. I just love that. So we know

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:25.559
that Jesus came even as it's prophesied when

00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:30.059
God was speaking to Adam and Eve and the serpent

00:14:30.059 --> 00:14:34.700
after the fall. God said that he was going to

00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:38.700
take the seed of the woman to crush the head

00:14:38.700 --> 00:14:42.299
of the serpent. Which is exactly what happened.

00:14:42.379 --> 00:14:45.200
And it says that the seed of the serpent would

00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.559
bruise his heel. And I'm sure that we saw that

00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.000
in, you know, the treatment that Jesus received,

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.000
whether he was nailed to the cross through his

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.379
heels, which is sometimes the case, or whether

00:14:58.379 --> 00:15:01.980
it was, you know, somehow in the beating that

00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:07.039
he received from the Romans. He was bruised all

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.730
over. All over. So I'm sure his heels were bruised

00:15:11.730 --> 00:15:15.669
in that as well. He was the one that came as

00:15:15.669 --> 00:15:19.309
the seed of the woman, as a human, absolutely

00:15:19.309 --> 00:15:21.509
human. And who was it that ate the fruit first?

00:15:21.970 --> 00:15:26.690
The woman, okay? So it was her seed that God

00:15:26.690 --> 00:15:29.710
chose. It was the seed of the female. And if

00:15:29.710 --> 00:15:33.149
you understand anything about DNA, there is a

00:15:33.149 --> 00:15:37.110
kind of DNA that is in your mitochondria, which

00:15:37.110 --> 00:15:39.960
is a part of... All of your living cells have

00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.919
mitochondria, and the DNA that's in there shows

00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:50.460
your mother's line all the way back to Eve. It's

00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:54.059
just amazing. You can test the father's line

00:15:54.059 --> 00:15:57.419
by other DNA, but the mother's line is shown

00:15:57.419 --> 00:16:00.639
by the DNA in the mitochondria. So it's just

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.980
amazing to me that God designed all of this.

00:16:05.529 --> 00:16:09.230
designed all these little details that would

00:16:09.230 --> 00:16:11.950
bring us to the place where the seed of the woman

00:16:11.950 --> 00:16:18.330
would be there for God to inhabit. His Holy Spirit

00:16:18.330 --> 00:16:23.889
came over Mary to make this baby, and this baby

00:16:23.889 --> 00:16:30.610
was a sinless one, and he was filled with the

00:16:30.610 --> 00:16:35.320
Holy Spirit and did everything that his father

00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:40.299
said to do. He kept everything according to the

00:16:40.299 --> 00:16:44.299
plan of the father. And he was going about doing

00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:47.120
good and healing all that were oppressed of the

00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.539
devil, which is what Adam was supposed to do.

00:16:49.740 --> 00:16:52.700
He was supposed to deal with the devil that was

00:16:52.700 --> 00:16:56.100
lurking, and he should have dealt with the serpent

00:16:56.100 --> 00:17:00.580
to begin with. But, you know, I don't know what

00:17:00.580 --> 00:17:04.069
happened that he didn't, but Jesus did. Jesus

00:17:04.069 --> 00:17:07.369
did take all of that punishment for us. So he

00:17:07.369 --> 00:17:12.789
gave us this Holy Communion as a physical point

00:17:12.789 --> 00:17:17.329
of contact to connect it to his sacrifice. And

00:17:17.329 --> 00:17:22.349
this Holy Communion is connecting us physically

00:17:22.349 --> 00:17:28.569
by eating something to undo the sin that was

00:17:28.569 --> 00:17:31.859
caused by eating something. Isn't that amazing?

00:17:32.140 --> 00:17:34.259
Yeah, that is amazing. I mean, he didn't make

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:36.640
it so that you would have to stand on your left

00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.059
foot and wave your right hand in a circle or

00:17:40.059 --> 00:17:44.319
something like that to make it work. He provided

00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.940
things that fit together so that we could see

00:17:48.940 --> 00:17:51.599
this. And one of the beautiful things that we

00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.380
learned from Dean is that when people ask him,

00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.680
what does it feel like to die? What's his answer?

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.140
Yes. I don't know. I wasn't there. Exactly. They

00:18:03.140 --> 00:18:05.539
were working on me and I left. Yeah, because

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:11.160
Jesus died our death for us. He was the substitute,

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.279
principle of substitution. He was the substitute

00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:19.559
that died on our behalf in our place. And Dean

00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.460
talked about it in the Q &A that we had at convention

00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:25.059
that we have presented now in one of our episodes

00:18:25.059 --> 00:18:28.369
recently. And you can go back and watch it again

00:18:28.369 --> 00:18:33.470
if you missed it. But he got together with several

00:18:33.470 --> 00:18:36.789
other people who had had this kind of a death

00:18:36.789 --> 00:18:40.390
experience. And they all had the same experience.

00:18:40.470 --> 00:18:44.829
They were outside their bodies before the death

00:18:44.829 --> 00:18:49.309
happened. For one, it was a plane crash. Another

00:18:49.309 --> 00:18:52.670
one, it was a car crash. Another guy was being

00:18:52.670 --> 00:18:57.279
stabbed to death. And he was outside of his body.

00:18:57.339 --> 00:19:00.859
He did not feel any of those stab wounds. You

00:19:00.859 --> 00:19:04.279
would think that you would feel that, but he

00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.420
didn't. He says, I didn't feel any of it because

00:19:07.420 --> 00:19:12.700
Jesus took that for us. He is the substitute.

00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:17.200
He's the one who modeled substitution for us.

00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:22.640
So he gives us this Holy Communion to pay our

00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.319
debt. And to connect us physically. Remember

00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.140
he said to his disciples, unless you eat my flesh

00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:33.019
and drink my blood, you have no part in me. And

00:19:33.019 --> 00:19:38.279
I remember one of the ladies in our little Methodist

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.299
church we used to go to. She would come and sit

00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:46.079
on the back row and attend the service. And once

00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:49.339
a month when we had communion, when it was time

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:52.789
for communion, she would slip out. She was not

00:19:52.789 --> 00:19:54.869
about to come to the altar and have communion.

00:19:55.009 --> 00:19:58.109
I don't know what she was thinking, but I think

00:19:58.109 --> 00:20:01.769
it was perhaps a bit like Shirley Smith. And

00:20:01.769 --> 00:20:04.970
we'll put a link to Shirley's testimony about

00:20:04.970 --> 00:20:07.309
it, that she was afraid to take communion, afraid

00:20:07.309 --> 00:20:11.309
that she had already sinned so badly that she

00:20:11.309 --> 00:20:13.769
was going to die if she took it. Because if you

00:20:13.769 --> 00:20:16.529
take it unworthily, you know, you could cut your

00:20:16.529 --> 00:20:22.309
life short. I think she didn't feel worthy. And

00:20:22.309 --> 00:20:26.390
at one point, our pastor took the elements and

00:20:26.390 --> 00:20:28.490
went back to where she was sitting. She hadn't

00:20:28.490 --> 00:20:32.109
slipped out yet. And she handed them to her.

00:20:33.390 --> 00:20:36.490
And she said, this is my body broken for you.

00:20:37.329 --> 00:20:40.990
And this is my blood shed for you. And the woman

00:20:40.990 --> 00:20:42.829
looked at her and said, I guess I have to do

00:20:42.829 --> 00:20:45.789
this, don't I? And she said, yes, you need to

00:20:45.789 --> 00:20:48.119
do this. I think that's what the conversation

00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.660
was. I don't know exactly, but I think that's

00:20:50.660 --> 00:20:54.119
something like what the conversation was. And

00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:57.240
the woman received it. And it wasn't long after

00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:59.660
that, that she went home to be with the Lord.

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:04.119
She had her, probably her first communion in

00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:06.539
a long, long, long, long time, if ever. I don't

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:09.220
know if she ever had it before. But the Lord

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:13.619
said, you must eat my flesh and drink my blood.

00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.160
At that point, a whole lot of people said, what?

00:21:18.099 --> 00:21:21.920
No way. And they were offended and left and stopped

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:24.240
following him, even though he was doing great

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:28.339
works and wonders and preaching in parables that

00:21:28.339 --> 00:21:34.220
most of them didn't get. But he did this for

00:21:34.220 --> 00:21:37.819
us. You know, he gave his life and he gave this

00:21:37.819 --> 00:21:43.829
physical thing to connect our bodies. with what

00:21:43.829 --> 00:21:49.269
he did for us. Isn't that amazing? Now, I did

00:21:49.269 --> 00:21:52.849
a little bit of study on this, and I'd never

00:21:52.849 --> 00:21:56.170
seen this scripture connected with communion

00:21:56.170 --> 00:21:59.529
before, but I got it today. And it's Genesis

00:21:59.529 --> 00:22:02.430
49, 9 -12. Would you like to read that, Philip?

00:22:03.529 --> 00:22:07.150
Judah is a lion's wolf. From the prey, my son,

00:22:07.250 --> 00:22:10.650
you have gone up. He bows down, he lies down

00:22:10.650 --> 00:22:14.079
as a lion. and as a lion who shall arouse him.

00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:17.839
His scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor

00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:21.619
a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh

00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:24.680
come, and to him shall be the obedience of the

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:28.440
people. Binding his donkey to the vine, and his

00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.839
donkey's colt to the choice wine, he washed his

00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:34.940
garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:38.140
of grapes. His eyes are darker than wine, and

00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:42.420
his teeth whiter than milk. So this is a prophecy

00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:47.019
of Jacob to his son Judah. When Jacob was on

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:49.119
his deathbed, he called all of his sons around

00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.059
him. And in Genesis 49, he prophesied over each

00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:55.500
of them. And I'll just put a little plug in here

00:22:55.500 --> 00:23:00.039
for Sister Gwen Shaw's book, The Tribes of Israel.

00:23:00.059 --> 00:23:03.950
We have just completed. the 21st century edition

00:23:03.950 --> 00:23:08.410
of it. And it's glorious. We completely retypeset

00:23:08.410 --> 00:23:11.809
it. It's nice and clean and crisp and not a copy

00:23:11.809 --> 00:23:14.289
of a copy like we had before. And everything

00:23:14.289 --> 00:23:16.849
that was in black and white is now in color.

00:23:16.930 --> 00:23:19.369
And we've added just a few little touches to

00:23:19.369 --> 00:23:23.680
it. And it's beautiful. And she explains. Lots

00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.519
of things about the tribes of Israel, including

00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:29.079
all of these prophecies for all the different

00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:32.319
tribes and the different sons of Jacob. But this

00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:35.279
is interesting. You know, back to the principle

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:38.180
of substitution. I caught it years and years

00:23:38.180 --> 00:23:43.039
ago that the blood of grapes is what substitutes

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:48.880
for Jesus' blood. But I hadn't realized where

00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.240
the context was. I thought it was maybe... I

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:54.279
don't know, one of the characters in the Bible

00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:57.460
was the butler for some king or something. He

00:23:57.460 --> 00:24:00.660
was squeezing the blood of grapes for them. It

00:24:00.660 --> 00:24:03.619
wasn't fresh in my mind. So I went looking for

00:24:03.619 --> 00:24:07.380
it today and found that this is the context.

00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:09.880
Well, that opens up a whole lot of stuff. Well,

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:13.920
who is the lion of the tribe of Judah? He's the

00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:17.440
lion of the tribe of Judah. Jesus. Exactly. Exactly.

00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:22.119
So this is spelling out who is this lion of the

00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.039
tribe of Judah. Judah is a lion's whelp. And

00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.819
he talks about the lion in several places. And

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:31.140
it actually uses more than one word for lion

00:24:31.140 --> 00:24:34.440
in the Hebrew. Then it goes on to say the scepter

00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:37.220
shall not depart from Judah. So what does that

00:24:37.220 --> 00:24:40.500
mean? This is the government authority. Exactly.

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:44.119
The government authority. This is before Israel

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:48.839
was a nation. This is when 75 people came from

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.720
Canaan's land down into Egypt because Joseph

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.279
was now the viceroy there, and he was taking

00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.319
care of his family, and he had provision for

00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.599
everybody, right? So 75 people. This is not a

00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:10.740
nation yet. In Egypt, after 400 years plus, there

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:16.539
they were becoming a nation. And the sons became

00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:24.500
tribes. And it wasn't until David's time that

00:25:24.500 --> 00:25:29.700
the first king from Judah came out. The very

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:31.599
first king that they were asking for came from

00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:35.839
the tribe of Benjamin. Okay, Saul. Right. So

00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:40.839
David was the first king of the dynasty that

00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:44.900
is known as the house of David, right? And David

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:52.279
means beloved. So anytime you see the name David

00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:57.099
in the scripture or the son of David, you could

00:25:57.099 --> 00:26:01.339
put that into English. Yeah. That David is the

00:26:01.339 --> 00:26:07.240
beloved. King Beloved. Okay, King Beloved. And

00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.720
the son of the Beloved is, you know, that's who

00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.359
Jesus is. He's the son of the Beloved. And the

00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:17.779
other Beloved is our Heavenly Father, right?

00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.579
So you've got this picture of the kingly line

00:26:22.579 --> 00:26:26.440
is prophesied here for the first time. For the

00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:31.619
first time. But it's 400 years in Egypt. Another

00:26:31.619 --> 00:26:35.339
400 years. Before David shows up on the scene.

00:26:35.539 --> 00:26:38.539
Yeah. At least. No, I think it's 400 years maybe

00:26:38.539 --> 00:26:41.279
before Saul. Something like that. In that vicinity.

00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.539
And then another 400 years before they go into

00:26:45.539 --> 00:26:51.319
Babylon. And another 400 years before Jesus comes.

00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:54.859
So you've got these kind of 400 year cycles.

00:26:55.299 --> 00:26:58.460
Yeah. More or less. It's not exactly 400. Maybe

00:26:58.460 --> 00:27:02.700
it is. Maybe it's 420. Maybe it's 430. But you've

00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:08.880
got this kingly line that once it's prophesied

00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.859
by Jacob at the very beginning of the tribes,

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:14.940
you know, here's Judah and his sons, and he's

00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:17.440
probably got grandkids by then. By the time Jacob

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.339
is going home, he's probably got grandchildren.

00:27:20.619 --> 00:27:24.900
But it's not a whole tribe. It's a family. And

00:27:24.900 --> 00:27:28.319
that's what Dean Braxton keeps emphasizing is

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:31.660
the tribes are families. And so we have this

00:27:31.660 --> 00:27:37.460
royal family that is showing up in the tribe

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:40.680
of Judah. And there's this kingly line that's

00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:44.170
showing up. And so it goes on to say, And to

00:27:44.170 --> 00:27:47.029
him shall be the obedience of the people. Now,

00:27:47.109 --> 00:27:49.930
I remember in the King James, it says, unto him

00:27:49.930 --> 00:27:52.730
shall the gathering of the people be. And it's

00:27:52.730 --> 00:27:55.430
not just, I thought maybe it was going to be

00:27:55.430 --> 00:27:59.710
the goyim, the nations, but it's the peoples.

00:28:00.910 --> 00:28:06.069
It's not just the Jews. It's the peoples. If

00:28:06.069 --> 00:28:08.849
you know anything about modern Hebrew, you might

00:28:08.849 --> 00:28:12.299
have heard. Then heard the people say, Am Yisrael

00:28:12.299 --> 00:28:15.559
Chai, the people of Israel live. Yeah, okay.

00:28:15.819 --> 00:28:19.880
But this is the word Am in the plural, Amim.

00:28:20.420 --> 00:28:24.720
So unto him shall the gathering or the obedience

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:29.339
of all the peoples of the earth be. And that's

00:28:29.339 --> 00:28:31.819
that messianic part that's coming, right? Yeah.

00:28:31.859 --> 00:28:35.609
And then binding his donkey to the vine. And

00:28:35.609 --> 00:28:39.349
his donkey's colt, well, Jesus rode the colt

00:28:39.349 --> 00:28:42.589
of a donkey, right? Binding them to the choice

00:28:42.589 --> 00:28:46.089
vine, okay? Remember, where do the grapes come

00:28:46.089 --> 00:28:49.970
from? They come from a vine. And he washed his

00:28:49.970 --> 00:28:53.529
garments in wine. And I think there's a scripture

00:28:53.529 --> 00:28:58.109
in the prophets that talks about him coming up

00:28:58.109 --> 00:29:03.900
from Basra with his garments soaked. And I think

00:29:03.900 --> 00:29:06.619
that it's talking about his garments being soaked

00:29:06.619 --> 00:29:08.819
with blood or being soaked with wine. I don't

00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:11.200
remember exactly. In the book of Revelation,

00:29:11.460 --> 00:29:14.140
his garments are soaked with blood. So there's

00:29:14.140 --> 00:29:16.920
this foreshadowing of the things that are coming

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:20.440
from the Messiah. And then his clothes in the

00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:22.740
blood of grapes. So here's where we have this

00:29:22.740 --> 00:29:27.019
expression of the substitution for the blood

00:29:27.019 --> 00:29:31.220
of the Messiah is the blood of grapes. It's the

00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:33.839
only place. In the scripture where you see the

00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.500
blood of grapes, it's the juice. It's what's

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:42.119
been squeezed out. What came out from the squeezing.

00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:46.500
And when they make wine, they get the grapes

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:51.019
and they tread on them with their feet. Okay,

00:29:51.059 --> 00:29:53.599
to this day, good wine is made that way because

00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.740
if you crush it with anything harder than your

00:29:56.740 --> 00:30:00.640
feet, it's going to crush the seeds. And what

00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.099
does that do to it? It'll give it a bitter taste.

00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.960
Exactly. So the blood of grapes is produced by

00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:13.740
treading, by walking. And the fruit that comes

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:16.799
in our lives, when we're filled with the Holy

00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:19.640
Spirit and the Holy Spirit is working in us to

00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:26.779
produce fruit, it's very often that we get tested

00:30:26.779 --> 00:30:31.529
in our fruit production. And it's often like

00:30:31.529 --> 00:30:34.690
being trampled under feet. You know, are we going

00:30:34.690 --> 00:30:38.150
to exhibit patience? Are we going to exhibit

00:30:38.150 --> 00:30:42.890
love? Are we going to exhibit peace? Are we going

00:30:42.890 --> 00:30:47.670
to exhibit joy? Do we let out a little W -I -N

00:30:47.670 --> 00:30:53.849
-E or W -H -I -N? Yes, exactly. Very good. Very

00:30:53.849 --> 00:30:57.369
good. So this one that is being prophesied about.

00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:01.880
He washes his garments in wine and his clothes

00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:04.880
in the blood of grapes. So we have this picture

00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.420
of the substitution of the blood of grapes for

00:31:08.420 --> 00:31:12.680
blood. The juice of grapes is for blood. And

00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:16.480
his eyes are darker than wine. Now, I chose the

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.140
New King James for this because it says darker

00:31:19.140 --> 00:31:22.599
than wine. In other places, it says his eyes

00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:27.019
are red with wine like he's drunk. And as I studied

00:31:27.019 --> 00:31:29.660
that, I found that there are other places that

00:31:29.660 --> 00:31:34.619
talk about that his eyes are flashing or brilliant

00:31:34.619 --> 00:31:39.220
like wine or that the color is deep like wine.

00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:41.920
And it's comparing the deepness of the color

00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.099
of wine with the color of milk. His teeth are

00:31:45.099 --> 00:31:48.759
white like milk and his eyes are... dark like

00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:52.420
wine. And you see this in Revelation chapter

00:31:52.420 --> 00:31:56.160
1, where it talks about his eyes are like a flame

00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.220
of fire. Okay, so there's that brilliance. There's

00:31:59.220 --> 00:32:02.380
that brilliance. It's the same person we're talking

00:32:02.380 --> 00:32:07.920
about. Jacob prophesied it in Genesis, and he

00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:13.039
shows up in Revelation with flaming eyes. That's

00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:16.859
just amazing. It's just amazing. And then verse

00:32:16.859 --> 00:32:20.619
10, I wanted to bring this out from the Young's

00:32:20.619 --> 00:32:23.980
literal translation. Verse 10 says, The scepter

00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:27.299
turneth not aside from Judah, and a lawgiver

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:31.980
from between his feet till his seed come. This

00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:34.740
word Shiloh that we see in most translations,

00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:39.119
this is the only place where that word Shiloh

00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:44.049
is found. So it could mean Shiloh. It could mean

00:32:44.049 --> 00:32:48.750
peace. It could mean his seed. His seed. And

00:32:48.750 --> 00:32:53.329
his is the obedience of peoples. So it's just

00:32:53.329 --> 00:32:56.329
another picture. Another way of looking at it.

00:32:56.349 --> 00:32:59.789
It's his seed that's coming. And of course, we

00:32:59.789 --> 00:33:02.329
know that he came and he's coming again. Hallelujah.

00:33:03.009 --> 00:33:07.509
Then in the Song of Solomon, chapter 5 and verse

00:33:07.509 --> 00:33:10.720
1, what does that say? I have come to my garden.

00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:13.299
And it's the beloved that's speaking. I do. Yeah.

00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:17.000
I have come to my garden, my sister, my spouse.

00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:20.680
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have

00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:23.980
eaten my honeycomb with my honey. I have drunk

00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:28.460
my wine with my milk. To his friends, eat, O

00:33:28.460 --> 00:33:32.059
friends, drink. Yes, drink deeply, O beloved

00:33:32.059 --> 00:33:36.279
ones. So there's something about the beloved.

00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:42.660
Mm -hmm. that he's gathered as Mer. Now Mer is...

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:47.180
Suffering. Yeah, it's a word that means bitterness

00:33:47.180 --> 00:33:51.059
or suffering. Actually, the name Miriam comes

00:33:51.059 --> 00:33:55.099
from that. And we know that Miriam, the sister

00:33:55.099 --> 00:33:59.059
of Moses, would have been living during a time

00:33:59.059 --> 00:34:03.660
of great suffering and their slavery in Egypt.

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:07.299
So it was a good name. In those days, you know,

00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.280
we're suffering here. Look at this. We're suffering.

00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:14.179
And then you have Miriam, the mother of Jesus.

00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:18.199
And didn't she suffer? I mean, it was even prophesied

00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:21.820
to her when she and Joseph brought the baby Jesus

00:34:21.820 --> 00:34:25.780
to the temple in Simeon. A sword shall pierce

00:34:25.780 --> 00:34:28.840
you. Exactly. A sword shall pierce your heart

00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:36.280
also. So she suffered. There's suffering. incense.

00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:40.179
So there's something beautiful about the burning

00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:43.659
of myrrh that is a sweet smell to the Lord and

00:34:43.659 --> 00:34:47.679
to us. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.

00:34:47.780 --> 00:34:50.639
I've eaten my honeycomb with my honey. So there's

00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:54.820
a sweetness to the beloved. And I have drunk

00:34:54.820 --> 00:34:58.039
my wine with my milk. Now, I don't know anything

00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:00.880
about mixing wine and milk. It doesn't make sense

00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:08.440
to me. I think I would make cheese. Oh, now there

00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:10.739
you go. That's kind of nice, but I don't think

00:35:10.739 --> 00:35:13.760
that's what it means either. And then the ESV

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:17.940
says, as Heath is speaking, I came to my garden,

00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:21.179
my sister, my bride. I gathered my myrrh with

00:35:21.179 --> 00:35:25.380
my spice. I ate my honeycomb with my honey. I

00:35:25.380 --> 00:35:30.260
drank my wine with my milk. And others say, eat,

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:36.349
friends, drink, and be drunk with love. Now that's

00:35:36.349 --> 00:35:40.730
really what the whole wine picture is about,

00:35:40.809 --> 00:35:47.949
is the blood of grapes. I mean, you can get intoxicated

00:35:47.949 --> 00:35:52.969
from it. And, you know, sometimes people use

00:35:52.969 --> 00:35:58.110
it to help them get some agreement with their

00:35:58.110 --> 00:36:05.079
spouse or someone else to engage sexually. There's

00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:08.480
something about the inebriating effect of wine

00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:12.260
that can cause that, you know, kind of causes

00:36:12.260 --> 00:36:16.000
you to loosen your guard a bit. But here's the

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:19.980
deal. We're supposed to drink deeply of his love.

00:36:21.300 --> 00:36:26.780
Drink of his love because that's what this cup

00:36:26.780 --> 00:36:31.760
is really all about. It's to drink deeply of

00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:36.570
his love. because that's what he gave for us.

00:36:36.650 --> 00:36:40.250
God so loved the world that he gave his only

00:36:40.250 --> 00:36:43.030
begotten son, that whosoever believes in him

00:36:43.030 --> 00:36:47.849
should not perish, but have everlasting life.

00:36:48.070 --> 00:36:50.949
And it's everlasting life and the everlasting

00:36:50.949 --> 00:36:55.449
love of God. And as Dean Braxton says, every

00:36:55.449 --> 00:37:00.429
moment God is creating new love for you. So drink

00:37:00.429 --> 00:37:03.909
deeply of his love as we're as we're preparing

00:37:03.909 --> 00:37:08.190
our hearts to receive this Holy Communion, prepare

00:37:08.190 --> 00:37:12.369
your heart to receive a brand new love that you've

00:37:12.369 --> 00:37:15.409
never seen or experienced before. Every time

00:37:15.409 --> 00:37:19.349
you take it, it is there for you to have more

00:37:19.349 --> 00:37:25.070
love. Hallelujah. So just to go on, and we've

00:37:25.070 --> 00:37:27.650
talked about this before, but whenever I'm talking

00:37:27.650 --> 00:37:30.010
about Holy Communion, I love to bring this in.

00:37:30.250 --> 00:37:34.900
From Isaiah 52, 13 through 15. Philip, would

00:37:34.900 --> 00:37:38.500
you please read that from the ESV? Behold, my

00:37:38.500 --> 00:37:41.739
servant shall act wisely. He shall be high and

00:37:41.739 --> 00:37:45.940
lifted up, and shall be exalted. As many were

00:37:45.940 --> 00:37:49.079
astonished at you, his appearance was so marred

00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:53.400
beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that

00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:57.000
of the children of mankind. So shall he sprinkle

00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:00.460
many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths because

00:38:00.460 --> 00:38:03.150
of him. For that which has not been told them,

00:38:03.170 --> 00:38:05.989
they see, and that which they have not heard,

00:38:06.070 --> 00:38:09.929
they understand. So one of the things that Dean

00:38:09.929 --> 00:38:14.510
Braxton talks about when he was in heaven, Jesus

00:38:14.510 --> 00:38:17.409
appeared to him, and he brought this out in a

00:38:17.409 --> 00:38:21.550
way that we hadn't heard before. In one of our

00:38:21.550 --> 00:38:24.349
recent episodes, there was a Q &A from the convention.

00:38:25.230 --> 00:38:28.769
He brought this out that Jesus stood there before

00:38:28.769 --> 00:38:32.670
him. And not only did he see the wounds in his

00:38:32.670 --> 00:38:36.250
hands and his feet, he saw all his wounds. And

00:38:36.250 --> 00:38:39.690
he saw how he had been shredded. And he saw how

00:38:39.690 --> 00:38:43.550
he had been marred so much that he didn't even

00:38:43.550 --> 00:38:47.329
look human. And he talks about how he was shredded,

00:38:47.590 --> 00:38:51.130
that his flesh was shredded. Now, he explained

00:38:51.130 --> 00:38:54.849
that to us in that, as I was picturing it, the

00:38:54.849 --> 00:38:57.789
way he explained it to us before. That he saw

00:38:57.789 --> 00:39:01.809
Jesus and he saw him, his feet loving him, and

00:39:01.809 --> 00:39:03.710
he saw his legs loving him. And as he looked

00:39:03.710 --> 00:39:05.809
up, he just saw all of him loving him. And then

00:39:05.809 --> 00:39:07.829
he saw him on the cross and that's where he saw

00:39:07.829 --> 00:39:11.269
him shredded. I didn't realize until this time

00:39:11.269 --> 00:39:16.329
that when Jesus appeared to him in that moment,

00:39:16.389 --> 00:39:21.050
he saw him in that shredded form. And that's

00:39:21.050 --> 00:39:25.969
when he said, you did this for me? And we have

00:39:25.969 --> 00:39:29.389
to get that. We have to understand that that

00:39:29.389 --> 00:39:35.409
is how he loved us and how he loves us, current,

00:39:35.650 --> 00:39:40.750
in the past, now, and in the future. That's how

00:39:40.750 --> 00:39:44.550
he loves us, that he was willing to lay down

00:39:44.550 --> 00:39:47.829
his life for us. And I'm reminded, too, of the

00:39:47.829 --> 00:39:51.369
message that Graham Cook... talked about. And

00:39:51.369 --> 00:39:53.969
Tony Kemp mentioned it, and I think we even mentioned

00:39:53.969 --> 00:39:57.289
it on a podcast recently, of how Jesus came to

00:39:57.289 --> 00:40:01.210
him in a dream. This was a dream. And he was

00:40:01.210 --> 00:40:04.469
kind of stomping towards him with a look on his

00:40:04.469 --> 00:40:08.349
face like he had swallowed a wasp. Can't imagine

00:40:08.349 --> 00:40:10.090
what that looked like. And he says, give me back

00:40:10.090 --> 00:40:13.230
my stuff. Give me back my stuff. And he's like,

00:40:13.369 --> 00:40:16.650
what did I take? Well, I don't know what you're

00:40:16.650 --> 00:40:19.429
talking about. And of this going back and forth

00:40:19.429 --> 00:40:23.590
of, Give me back my stuff. And he's bewildered.

00:40:23.630 --> 00:40:25.829
Graham is bewildered. I don't know what you're

00:40:25.829 --> 00:40:28.829
talking about. He said, all of those things that

00:40:28.829 --> 00:40:34.349
I died for, I died for your negativity. I died

00:40:34.349 --> 00:40:38.570
for your worry. I died for your fear. All of

00:40:38.570 --> 00:40:42.170
those things that I died for, you took them back.

00:40:42.349 --> 00:40:46.920
I stole them from you. And I endured the cross

00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:50.639
because I was looking forward to robbing them

00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:53.659
from you. And now you've taken them back. Now

00:40:53.659 --> 00:40:57.800
give me back my stuff. It belongs to him. All

00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:03.300
of our sins belong to him. He paid for them.

00:41:03.380 --> 00:41:06.699
And if you're holding on to something that he

00:41:06.699 --> 00:41:10.039
paid for, it's time to give him back his stuff.

00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:14.320
Let it go and repent. Oh, Lord, I'm sorry. I

00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:16.239
didn't mean to do that. And, you know, I've been

00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:19.980
doing some of that lately, just humbling myself

00:41:19.980 --> 00:41:23.659
to make sure that I am not carrying anything

00:41:23.659 --> 00:41:28.519
that he already paid for. And I'm seeing him

00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:35.619
more and more as that shredded one that was shredded

00:41:35.619 --> 00:41:41.940
for me, that as I see him indwelling me. I'm

00:41:41.940 --> 00:41:44.280
not only just, you know, usually you see him

00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:47.199
like sitting on the throne of your heart as the

00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:50.460
king. At least you want him to be there doing

00:41:50.460 --> 00:41:55.059
that. But I've been seeing him in terms of healing.

00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:59.820
I've been seeing him as being inside of me as

00:41:59.820 --> 00:42:03.519
that shredded one who was bruised for us, who

00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:06.659
was wounded for our transgressions and bruised

00:42:06.659 --> 00:42:09.300
for our iniquities. And the chastisement of our

00:42:09.300 --> 00:42:12.380
peace, our shalom was upon him. And with his

00:42:12.380 --> 00:42:15.539
stripes, with his shreddedness, we are healed.

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:19.760
And I hold that shreddedness over myself as I'm

00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:23.019
believing God for healing. And then, you know,

00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:27.550
he's in us and we are in. Him. And so when we're

00:42:27.550 --> 00:42:31.190
being attacked by the enemy of our soul who's

00:42:31.190 --> 00:42:35.550
trying to accuse us, when we see that Jesus is

00:42:35.550 --> 00:42:40.449
on the outside of us, that accuser has nothing.

00:42:41.889 --> 00:42:44.889
He's got nothing on Jesus. You know, that's what

00:42:44.889 --> 00:42:50.530
Jesus said. He's got nothing on me. And so that's

00:42:50.530 --> 00:42:52.449
how we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and

00:42:52.449 --> 00:42:55.250
by the word of our testimony. Jesus paid it all.

00:42:55.469 --> 00:43:00.190
It was all nailed to his cross. Hallelujah. So

00:43:00.190 --> 00:43:05.130
back to Isaiah 52, it says that he was so marred

00:43:05.130 --> 00:43:09.449
beyond human semblance or resemblance, his form

00:43:09.449 --> 00:43:12.070
beyond that of the children of mankind, and so

00:43:12.070 --> 00:43:17.039
the children of Adam. He was so smashed up. He

00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:21.880
was so shredded. You know, they say that that

00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:26.519
part of the Roman flogging was so devastating

00:43:26.519 --> 00:43:30.380
that they would start with this thing called

00:43:30.380 --> 00:43:36.320
a phlegm that was tipped with lead pieces that

00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:39.300
would inflict bruising, and then they would switch

00:43:39.300 --> 00:43:44.119
to another one that had, like, sharp thorns or

00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:49.719
hooks or bones, things that would literally shred

00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:53.219
a person. And that lots of people would die from

00:43:53.219 --> 00:43:55.199
that before they ever got crucified. But they

00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:58.840
were trying to bring them like halfway dead,

00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:01.760
at least. So that probably they wouldn't last

00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:03.860
so long on the cross. Die quicker. Die quicker.

00:44:04.260 --> 00:44:07.300
So this shredding, he was shredded like this.

00:44:07.500 --> 00:44:10.699
And then it says in verse 15, so shall he sprinkle

00:44:10.699 --> 00:44:13.480
many nations. And one of the things that Dean

00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:17.500
saw was that every time Jesus' heart would beat,

00:44:17.699 --> 00:44:22.400
the lacerations that he had received that had

00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:28.579
punctured, slightly punctured his arteries. that

00:44:28.579 --> 00:44:31.320
every time his heart would beat, the blood would

00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:34.079
spurt out. It would spurt, it would sprinkle.

00:44:34.260 --> 00:44:37.300
And that's what this word means in the Hebrew,

00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:41.320
so shall he sprinkle many nations. And that same

00:44:41.320 --> 00:44:46.059
word sprinkle, it's actually nazah in the Hebrew,

00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:49.119
and it means to cause to spurt or to sprinkle

00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:53.000
upon. And that same word is used in Exodus 29,

00:44:53.179 --> 00:44:56.119
21. Would you like to read that? Then you shall

00:44:56.119 --> 00:44:59.139
take part of the blood that is on the altar and

00:44:59.139 --> 00:45:02.239
of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron

00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:05.239
and his garments, and on his sons and his sons'

00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:08.099
garments with them. He and his garments shall

00:45:08.099 --> 00:45:11.460
be whole, and his sons' garments with him. So

00:45:11.460 --> 00:45:16.760
that word holy means set apart, sanctified, dedicated.

00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:21.159
So this was a part of dedicating them as priests.

00:45:22.380 --> 00:45:27.139
So when Jesus' blood was sprinkling, spurting

00:45:27.139 --> 00:45:30.340
out in a mist, he said it was like a mist, that

00:45:30.340 --> 00:45:35.340
it was spurting in a mist, this was the sprinkling

00:45:35.340 --> 00:45:40.280
that was to sanctify us and to set us apart to

00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:44.380
be that kingdom of priests. that he foretold

00:45:44.380 --> 00:45:47.420
to Moses, I want this to be a kingdom of priests.

00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:50.179
And in Revelation, it talks about being kings

00:45:50.179 --> 00:45:53.519
and priests before him. So it was this shedding

00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:56.179
of the blood that did that. And then it says,

00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:58.800
kings shall shut their mouths because of him,

00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:01.840
for that which has not been told them they see,

00:46:02.059 --> 00:46:04.280
and that which they have not heard they understand.

00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:08.079
And so this word kings can mean demonic kings

00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:12.429
as well as other earthly kings. And so it's like

00:46:12.429 --> 00:46:17.769
these demons that thought they won by shredding

00:46:17.769 --> 00:46:21.730
him and crucifying him, and he's going to die.

00:46:21.869 --> 00:46:25.869
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Then they see the sprinkling,

00:46:25.909 --> 00:46:30.809
and it was like, uh -oh, we're in trouble now.

00:46:31.659 --> 00:46:34.420
That which had not been told them, they see.

00:46:34.659 --> 00:46:37.380
And that which they've not heard now, they get

00:46:37.380 --> 00:46:40.019
it. They see it. And then there's another place

00:46:40.019 --> 00:46:43.179
in Exodus 24, 8, that talks about the blood of

00:46:43.179 --> 00:46:45.920
the covenant. Moses took the blood and sprinkled

00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:47.900
it on the people and said, this is the blood

00:46:47.900 --> 00:46:50.099
of the covenant, which the Lord. or Yehovah,

00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:52.619
has made with you according to all these words.

00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:55.420
So there's something about sprinkling the blood

00:46:55.420 --> 00:46:59.119
that brings us into covenant. So when we take

00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:02.500
this Holy Communion, we are taking of that power

00:47:02.500 --> 00:47:06.260
of the blood. So one of the things also that

00:47:06.260 --> 00:47:08.980
Dean said recently that I don't remember him

00:47:08.980 --> 00:47:13.059
saying before, is that when Jesus, we see in

00:47:13.059 --> 00:47:15.219
the scripture that Jesus is interceding before

00:47:15.219 --> 00:47:18.360
the Father. It's not that he's speaking words.

00:47:18.960 --> 00:47:21.400
He's just showing up there and showing his wounds.

00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:26.559
And his wounds are speaking for us. His wounds

00:47:26.559 --> 00:47:29.760
are interceding for us. And what happened, Philip?

00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:32.539
You remember the story when Dean first got to

00:47:32.539 --> 00:47:35.739
heaven and Jesus met him? It says when Jesus

00:47:35.739 --> 00:47:39.639
saw himself in him, he knew he was in. Yep, he

00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:44.960
was in. So just look for Jesus inside of you.

00:47:45.309 --> 00:47:49.369
And look for that shredded Jesus inside of you

00:47:49.369 --> 00:47:52.849
when you need healing. So see yourself clothed

00:47:52.849 --> 00:47:57.269
in him for your protection. So in Luke 22, verses

00:47:57.269 --> 00:48:01.869
19 and 20, it says that he took bread and gave

00:48:01.869 --> 00:48:04.769
thanks and broke it and gave to them saying,

00:48:04.989 --> 00:48:09.889
this is my body, which is given for you. Do this

00:48:09.889 --> 00:48:13.230
in remembrance of me. Likewise also took the

00:48:13.230 --> 00:48:16.170
cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new

00:48:16.170 --> 00:48:19.130
covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.

00:48:19.369 --> 00:48:21.889
So what does that new covenant mean? Where's

00:48:21.889 --> 00:48:25.909
that found? That's in Jeremiah 31, 31. Go ahead

00:48:25.909 --> 00:48:30.829
and read it. Yeah. It's 31 and 33 of 34. Behold,

00:48:30.849 --> 00:48:33.449
the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will

00:48:33.449 --> 00:48:35.590
make a new covenant with the house of Israel

00:48:35.590 --> 00:48:38.329
and with the house of Judah. But this is the

00:48:38.329 --> 00:48:40.570
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel

00:48:40.570 --> 00:48:44.469
after those days, says the Lord. I will put my

00:48:44.469 --> 00:48:47.329
law in their minds and write it on their hearts,

00:48:47.369 --> 00:48:50.670
and I will be their God, and they shall be my

00:48:50.670 --> 00:48:54.050
people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor,

00:48:54.190 --> 00:48:57.110
and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord.

00:48:57.449 --> 00:48:59.829
For they all shall know me from the least of

00:48:59.829 --> 00:49:02.210
them to the greatest of them, says the Lord.

00:49:02.550 --> 00:49:05.789
For I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.

00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:10.260
I will remember no more. So that's four great

00:49:10.260 --> 00:49:14.280
pillars to the new covenant. God's going to put

00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:16.320
his law in our hearts and our minds. He's going

00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:19.619
to be our God and we'll be his people. Nobody's

00:49:19.619 --> 00:49:21.820
going to have to say, you need to know the Lord

00:49:21.820 --> 00:49:24.539
because we'll all know him. Because he's going

00:49:24.539 --> 00:49:27.559
to erase our iniquities. And how did he do it?

00:49:27.739 --> 00:49:32.900
With his blood. Glory to God. To bring this to

00:49:32.900 --> 00:49:35.119
a close and bring this to the place where we're

00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:36.980
going to have communion together, I just wanted

00:49:36.980 --> 00:49:41.179
to share a few testimonies of things that happen

00:49:41.179 --> 00:49:44.539
when you take the Holy Communion. So sometimes

00:49:44.539 --> 00:49:47.400
people get healed. It's not unusual. We've heard

00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:50.139
lots of stories. But I remember one in particular

00:49:50.139 --> 00:49:54.980
where my pastor, Robert Dorn, had some kind of

00:49:54.980 --> 00:49:57.699
desperately difficult disease. I think it was

00:49:57.699 --> 00:50:01.420
life -threatening. And he was going to take the

00:50:01.420 --> 00:50:04.079
Holy Communion. And he said, Lord, I take this

00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:07.239
for my healing. And he took it and he received

00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.579
his healing. So the healing comes with it. And

00:50:10.579 --> 00:50:13.940
as I mentioned before, Shirley Smith was talking

00:50:13.940 --> 00:50:16.260
about how she received healing through the Holy

00:50:16.260 --> 00:50:19.760
Communion. And she had two episodes, episode

00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:24.130
84 and 85, where she was talking about. her struggle

00:50:24.130 --> 00:50:27.710
with cancer and how Jesus said to her, when the

00:50:27.710 --> 00:50:31.369
devil came to me, he had nothing in me. He came

00:50:31.369 --> 00:50:34.809
to you and he found something in you. And here's

00:50:34.809 --> 00:50:36.530
how you deal with it. Deal with it with the Holy

00:50:36.530 --> 00:50:40.190
Communion. And so I highly encourage you to go

00:50:40.190 --> 00:50:41.989
and listen to those if you haven't heard them

00:50:41.989 --> 00:50:45.489
before. They're very, very powerful. So we did

00:50:45.489 --> 00:50:49.869
a podcast a while back about redeeming the land.

00:50:50.530 --> 00:50:53.889
And just like because we're made of the ground,

00:50:54.050 --> 00:50:58.050
right? Just like we can be healed by receiving

00:50:58.050 --> 00:51:01.250
Holy Communion, we can share that Holy Communion

00:51:01.250 --> 00:51:04.989
with the land and break curses off of the land

00:51:04.989 --> 00:51:07.909
that have come because of sin. And we can intercede

00:51:07.909 --> 00:51:11.469
to remove those curses. So I encourage you to

00:51:11.469 --> 00:51:14.650
go back and listen to that episode and get Gwen

00:51:14.650 --> 00:51:17.369
Shaw's book, Redeeming the Land, because she

00:51:17.369 --> 00:51:20.269
really goes into details about how the curses

00:51:20.269 --> 00:51:22.989
get there in the first place. And how the Holy

00:51:22.989 --> 00:51:26.389
Communion will break those curses and establish

00:51:26.389 --> 00:51:29.170
the blessings of God. Because the blessings of

00:51:29.170 --> 00:51:31.829
God come with obedience, and taking His Holy

00:51:31.829 --> 00:51:35.590
Communion is an act of obedience. Then there's

00:51:35.590 --> 00:51:37.989
also the principle of redeeming your family line.

00:51:38.769 --> 00:51:43.150
You can deal with your own DNA, dealing with

00:51:43.150 --> 00:51:46.130
your own sins, but you can also deal with the

00:51:46.130 --> 00:51:48.289
sins that have come down from your forefathers.

00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.920
cancel them out for the sake of your family.

00:51:53.019 --> 00:51:56.179
It's an intercession thing. Okay. So you can

00:51:56.179 --> 00:52:00.559
ask God to forgive the sins of your forefathers.

00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:02.940
And I think we could even recommend that you

00:52:02.940 --> 00:52:06.360
listen to the episode that Shirley Smith talked

00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:10.519
about how Jesus came into people's lives just

00:52:10.519 --> 00:52:13.000
before they died. Because she talks about how

00:52:13.769 --> 00:52:16.449
She was able to get her mother to talk about

00:52:16.449 --> 00:52:20.030
the pains and the wounds that she received in

00:52:20.030 --> 00:52:23.809
her life and how the Lord led her, Bud Shirley,

00:52:24.090 --> 00:52:28.250
to intercede on behalf of her mother. To give

00:52:28.250 --> 00:52:31.809
her the grace to forgive, even though she didn't

00:52:31.809 --> 00:52:34.809
have it within herself to forgive. And that comes,

00:52:34.909 --> 00:52:37.630
we're forgiven by the blood of Jesus, right?

00:52:37.769 --> 00:52:40.889
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb. And then

00:52:40.889 --> 00:52:44.969
you have intercession like Daniel, in Daniel

00:52:44.969 --> 00:52:48.920
chapter 9, where he realized, oh. it's been 70

00:52:48.920 --> 00:52:50.820
years that we've been in captivity, according

00:52:50.820 --> 00:52:54.239
to the book of Jeremiah. So he begins to intercede

00:52:54.239 --> 00:52:58.619
to ask God to forgive the sins of his forefathers

00:52:58.619 --> 00:53:02.480
as though he's the sinner. And the Bible says

00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:04.659
that he was one of the most holy people there

00:53:04.659 --> 00:53:07.659
ever was. So it wasn't like he was the big sinner,

00:53:07.780 --> 00:53:12.280
but he stepped in to intercede on behalf of the

00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:18.440
sinners in his whole nation. He's a part of that

00:53:18.440 --> 00:53:20.900
nation, and we can do the same. Now, here we

00:53:20.900 --> 00:53:23.760
are in the United States of America, right at

00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:30.139
our 250th anniversary, and we need to be interceding

00:53:30.139 --> 00:53:32.900
and asking God to forgive the sins of our land.

00:53:32.980 --> 00:53:36.159
So we can do that as we take the Holy Communion.

00:53:36.159 --> 00:53:38.619
We can ask Him to cover all of these things.

00:53:38.940 --> 00:53:42.539
So let's unleash this mighty power of the Holy

00:53:42.539 --> 00:53:47.769
Communion by receiving the Holy Communion. Philip,

00:53:47.809 --> 00:53:50.550
you want to bless the bread? Oh, can I just make

00:53:50.550 --> 00:53:52.610
a comment about the bread? One of the reasons

00:53:52.610 --> 00:53:57.989
why we love to use the matzo is because it is

00:53:57.989 --> 00:54:01.289
so a picture of what Jesus went through for us.

00:54:01.369 --> 00:54:05.170
It's unleavened, not like you can't use leavened

00:54:05.170 --> 00:54:08.309
bread, but when Jesus laid down his life, it

00:54:08.309 --> 00:54:11.489
was during the time of the Feast of the Unleavened

00:54:11.489 --> 00:54:15.550
Bread. And leaven is a type of sin. It's a picture

00:54:15.550 --> 00:54:20.889
of sin. And so Jesus became the bread of life.

00:54:23.369 --> 00:54:26.130
He said that. And he was born in Bethlehem, the

00:54:26.130 --> 00:54:31.289
house of bread. So he came as the sinless sacrifice.

00:54:32.670 --> 00:54:35.449
the unleavened bread. And so it looks like it's

00:54:35.449 --> 00:54:38.329
got bruises. It looks like it's got piercings.

00:54:38.690 --> 00:54:43.010
And so I just, I love to use it. It's such a

00:54:43.010 --> 00:54:45.110
good picture. And it's not like that's the only

00:54:45.110 --> 00:54:48.349
thing you can use. Use the bread you have and

00:54:48.349 --> 00:54:50.789
just sanctify it to the Lord. So go ahead and

00:54:50.789 --> 00:54:53.750
sanctify this to the Lord. Well, Father, we thank

00:54:53.750 --> 00:54:57.670
you, Lord, for this bread representing your body.

00:54:57.789 --> 00:55:02.119
Oh, God, Lord, and even as the high priest, Lord,

00:55:02.179 --> 00:55:05.699
the bread when it was in the holy place was called

00:55:05.699 --> 00:55:08.739
the bread of the face. Yes. And it sat in your

00:55:08.739 --> 00:55:11.860
presence for like seven days, and that was the

00:55:11.860 --> 00:55:14.960
priest's food. And Lord, and we thank you, Lord,

00:55:15.039 --> 00:55:18.300
this is the food of healing. Oh, yes. We thank

00:55:18.300 --> 00:55:21.400
you, Father, as we partake of your body, Lord,

00:55:21.460 --> 00:55:24.559
which you gave to us, Lord, the piercings you

00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:27.519
took for us from the crown of thorns, from the

00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:30.840
beatings on the back and the shredding, oh God.

00:55:31.400 --> 00:55:34.380
And that, Father, that you took it for us. So,

00:55:34.460 --> 00:55:36.840
Father, even right now, Lord, we give you back

00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:39.619
everything that maybe we're carrying that we

00:55:39.619 --> 00:55:42.900
shouldn't carry. Because you paid for it. You

00:55:42.900 --> 00:55:46.019
paid for our salvation. And you paid for our

00:55:46.019 --> 00:55:50.659
healing. So, Father, we receive your body and

00:55:50.659 --> 00:55:54.280
our body. In your name, Lord Jesus. Thank you.

00:55:54.380 --> 00:56:02.260
Hallelujah. Thank you, Father. We receive. Thank

00:56:02.260 --> 00:56:04.760
you, Lord. We receive the healing, Lord, that

00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:07.800
comes with that. Yes, Father. Thank you, Father.

00:56:07.860 --> 00:56:11.880
Thank you, Father. And Lord Jesus, we thank you

00:56:11.880 --> 00:56:18.019
that this is the cup of the new covenant in your

00:56:18.019 --> 00:56:23.780
blood. The new covenant where we can know you

00:56:23.780 --> 00:56:26.260
and you'll write your word in our hearts and

00:56:26.260 --> 00:56:28.780
our minds. You forgive us of our sins and you

00:56:28.780 --> 00:56:34.280
are our God. and we are your people. It makes

00:56:34.280 --> 00:56:38.519
us one. It's the co -union, the coming together

00:56:38.519 --> 00:56:43.139
to have union with you. Lord, we receive this

00:56:43.139 --> 00:56:48.719
as the cup of life, because the life of the flesh

00:56:48.719 --> 00:56:52.659
is in the blood. Lord, we receive that every

00:56:52.659 --> 00:56:57.300
bit of power that was in the blood that you shed

00:56:57.300 --> 00:57:01.739
for us is in this cup. And we declare the mighty

00:57:01.739 --> 00:57:07.380
power for our sins, our souls, our bodies, all

00:57:07.380 --> 00:57:11.519
of us, Lord, spirit, soul, and body. And we hold

00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:14.519
it over our family members, near and far. And

00:57:14.519 --> 00:57:17.880
we hold it over those that are believers and

00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:20.500
those that are yet to be believers, Lord, because

00:57:20.500 --> 00:57:25.679
we're expecting. the coming of a mighty outpouring.

00:57:25.739 --> 00:57:28.920
And we hold the power of this cup and the power

00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:32.539
of your broken body over all of the earth, Lord,

00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:35.679
and all of the sins that have taken place on

00:57:35.679 --> 00:57:37.960
the earth, Lord, that are trying to keep you

00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:40.960
from coming. And they can't keep you from coming

00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:44.840
because you are coming and you're going to deal

00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:47.739
with them. And Lord, we just thank you for that.

00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:50.960
And we thank you for the release of your outpouring.

00:57:52.539 --> 00:57:56.099
worldwide, even as we come in this act of obedience

00:57:56.099 --> 00:58:01.420
to receive the life of your blood in this cup.

00:58:01.539 --> 00:58:08.719
In Jesus' name. And Lord, we pray for those who

00:58:08.719 --> 00:58:12.460
are listening. Lord, that you will minister to

00:58:12.460 --> 00:58:15.579
each and every one. Minister to their families.

00:58:16.489 --> 00:58:19.230
Minister to their loved ones. Minister to everything

00:58:19.230 --> 00:58:22.630
that is a concern of their hearts. Lord, that

00:58:22.630 --> 00:58:27.210
you will pour out your spirit of life, life,

00:58:27.429 --> 00:58:30.429
abundant life, giving them abundant, abundant

00:58:30.429 --> 00:58:34.730
life. Lord, abundant life in every area of their

00:58:34.730 --> 00:58:38.219
lives. We bless them. In everything economically,

00:58:38.739 --> 00:58:42.619
in relationships, in their bodies, in their health.

00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:45.820
Lord, that all of the things that you paid for

00:58:45.820 --> 00:58:49.980
on the cross, that they get them, that you paid

00:58:49.980 --> 00:58:53.320
for. And that they give you everything that you

00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:55.880
paid for. That we don't hang on to those things.

00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:59.719
And especially anyone who has received a wound

00:58:59.719 --> 00:59:02.750
that they're having trouble forgiving. We just

00:59:02.750 --> 00:59:06.489
hold the power of the words that you spoke from

00:59:06.489 --> 00:59:09.929
the cross when you were sprinkling and spurting

00:59:09.929 --> 00:59:14.210
your blood. You were physically choosing to shed

00:59:14.210 --> 00:59:17.469
your blood, to spurt your blood, to sprinkle

00:59:17.469 --> 00:59:20.309
your blood with every beat of your loving heart.

00:59:20.610 --> 00:59:23.469
And you said from the cross, Father, forgive

00:59:23.469 --> 00:59:27.190
