1 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,920 Hello, a big welcome to the Via Zayan Sermon podcast. 2 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,600 We are a church based out of Chennai, India. 3 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,080 We are thrilled that you tuned in today and hope that you will 4 00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:24,760 be refreshed, revived, and energized by what you hear. 5 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,520 Our desire is that you will live life with a renewed sense of 6 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,200 purpose that stems from a vibrant faith in Jesus. 7 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,840 The year 2025 is 1 where we will be positioned by God to possess 8 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,400 our promise. As we walk through the Lent 9 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,960 season, a time of preparation before Easter, we hope to see 10 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,840 Jesus clearer than before. We desire that you would make it 11 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,920 your life's goal and purpose to seek His face and know His 12 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,600 heart. Hi Church, this is a joy and a 13 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,520 privilege to bring God's Word to you today. 14 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,400 For those of you who are watching and listening, I just 15 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,280 want to say that even as we are in this season of Lent, I pray 16 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,800 that we'll be able to see God clearly, move towards Him, and 17 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,400 experience Him personally. We're starting a brand new 18 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,040 series. In fact, we are in Part 2. 19 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,560 Last week we had a guest speaker come in and the entire series is 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,520 around the theme of finding Jesus in Leviticus. 21 00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:26,440 And the reason why we've chosen this is because many times we 22 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,400 overlook what's been spoken about Jesus in the Old 23 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,600 Testament. But the more when we start 24 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,480 reading the Old Testament with the observance of what Jesus 25 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,160 came and did, we see there are traces of him everywhere 26 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,160 throughout. And so the reason is as we look 27 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,760 into this specifically today, I just wanted to kind of highlight 28 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,400 some of the things we heard last week. 29 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,960 We don't have online service because he spoke here in person, 30 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,520 but we do have the sermon podcast and would ask probably 31 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,400 after this if you can listen to it sometime in your free course. 32 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,360 Pastor was had spoken specifically with regard to the 33 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,520 intimacy of God and why it has to be so real in our lives. 34 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,639 And he talked about four hindrances. 35 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,520 And I want us to kind of just go through those four because those 36 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,800 kind of help us understand what holds us back so that we are 37 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,800 unable to see Jesus clearly. It becomes fuzzy, it's unclear. 38 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,000 And many times we're just grappling with ourselves. 39 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,400 The four things which he mentioned are one is childhood 40 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,240 hurt and drama, will, you know, move us to a place of not being 41 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,480 intimate with Jesus. The second thing is he mentioned 42 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,320 is our thought patterns and our negative thinking will prevent 43 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,640 us. Many times we are unable to 44 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,520 handle the good that's happening for us. 45 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,320 We feel deserving, but the more we have to, but the more we move 46 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,480 closer to Jesus, we will soon realize that with Jesus, he 47 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,200 means good for us. And so those thought patterns 48 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,000 will need to change if we really need to have that intimacy with 49 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,520 him. The third thing we see is 50 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,840 darkness that comes because of disobedience from our life says 51 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600 blatantly certain areas where we don't want to give control. 52 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,680 And I love that with the length, that's the area where we move 53 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,520 towards because this is where we tell Jesus, Jesus, these are 54 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,720 somethings which I really like, but I'm willing to give it up so 55 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,800 that you would speak to me more. You would show me what I'm doing 56 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,560 wrong. You would show me what I need to 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,400 change. You will tell me what I need to 58 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,240 do. And the fourth thing is our ego 59 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,480 and pride. And I pray that we will never 60 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,240 allow our ego and pride to get in the way of knowing Jesus. 61 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,240 And the reason why I wanted to start off with this is because 62 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,000 being intimate with God, you know, wanting to see him every 63 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,400 day is the base in which we'll be able to draw closer. 64 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,560 You know, when you are intimate with our spouse, we, we are 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,480 literally breathing so close to each other. 66 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:52,320 We are there's there's this oneness that we experience being 67 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,000 close to 1 and I pray that we will all come to that place 68 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,880 where we are past the things that we've gone through won't 69 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,920 dictate because we can easily blame Jesus and say, you know 70 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,960 what, you were not there when something like this happened. 71 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,160 But Jesus will reveal when we start looking to him, when we 72 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,600 start seeking to him that he was present during those times. 73 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,720 Even in our struggles to say I was there. 74 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,279 It's just many a times our ego and pride get the better of us. 75 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,800 So even as we go into the first part of finding Jesus in 76 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,960 Leviticus, I wanted to kind of I go through this court, which I 77 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,040 came across it. In fact, as I was, I think a 78 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,000 couple of weeks back, someone had talked about beholding, you 79 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,200 know, and so the more I've been thinking about that we had a 80 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,560 guest speaker and as she was talking about beholding God and 81 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,720 I, I that's been resonating and I came across this entire 82 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,880 section that John Piper did. And even as it comes up on the 83 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,960 screen, I want us to read that it says beholding glory becoming 84 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,400 gold. My point is that praising the 85 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,960 glory of God's grace is the apex of human wholeness, not the 86 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,400 pursuit of it. Praising the glory of God's 87 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,600 grace is the all satisfying goal of human existence, not how you 88 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,960 get there. And seeing that glory in the 89 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,080 person and work of Jesus the way this grace, this grace upon 90 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,640 grace, this grace of wholeness comes into our broken lives. 91 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,920 Beholding glory, we are becoming whole. 92 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,000 And I want to keep this as the baseline that the phrase 93 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,920 beholding glory becoming whole. Because when we look at Jesus 94 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:30,320 through Leviticus, what we see is we see a group of people who 95 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,160 are set apart by God, who were in slavery, where we see 96 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,440 Abraham. We've seen all this while who 97 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,760 pursued after God. In fact, he took those steps to 98 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,440 move towards the promises of God. 99 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,640 And then later on we see his generations, 4 generations, 5 100 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,480 generations later, they became captives in Egypt. 101 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,160 They were slaves there. God moved miraculously after 400 102 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,000 years through Moses takes them out and he takes them on this 103 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,440 journey of the people getting to know their God better. 104 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,520 But the heart of the people was so broken, was so torn apart. 105 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,560 And when we see what happens in Leviticals time and again is 106 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,520 they, they always went back to what they enjoyed and forgetting 107 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,360 that there's a God now who desires to be with them, desires 108 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,800 to worship them. And you know, so he gave them 109 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,760 this command to build a temple. And there's this all these 110 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,920 requirements that are built around that where only a 111 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,560 particular tribe is appointed to serve him. 112 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,880 And I think these are all things when we see our glimpses where 113 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Jesus was pointing everything to him coming so that he will be 114 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,080 the ultimate redemption for mankind. 115 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,240 And So what happens here is there were only few who beheld 116 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,560 his glory. There were many who are not 117 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,280 wanting to become whole because they their desires were 118 00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,960 different. Their urges were different, 119 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,920 being that they what they saw and wanted was entirely 120 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,560 different in a desert. And I pray that as we observe 121 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,840 Lent, why are we observing Lent? It's a time we set apart each 122 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:09,280 year just to turn our focus to Jesus. 123 00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:13,720 Jesus who was God, came down as man, died on the cross for you 124 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,720 and me, was able to let go of certain things, his in all 125 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,640 humility. He came so that you and I can be 126 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,320 redeemed once for all. So you and I will be set free 127 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,200 once for all so that you and I will have a relationship with 128 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,040 God. You and I will be able to 129 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,120 commune with God and be with intimate with him on a daily 130 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,000 basis. And the end objective is where 131 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,160 we'll spend eternity with them so that we'll have eternal life. 132 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,240 And so as we look through the Bible, what we see is this day 133 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,880 of atonement is what we're going to be looking at from Leviticus 134 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,640 chapter 16. And the Day of Atonement is this 135 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,760 one event that happened every year. 136 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,480 Roughly it around happened around the 10th month, which is 137 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,000 October in our calendar if you have to take. 138 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,560 And so in that 10th month of every year, there was a day when 139 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,680 people went to the temple and they observed it. 140 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,840 It was a day of rest. No one had to do any work. 141 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,920 The high priest was to get into that place to meet with God. 142 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,520 The high priest, the chief high priest used to go into that 143 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,760 place. And there's this entire 144 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:23,160 description of a bull of being offered, of two goats being 145 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:29,360 chosen, one being selected to for the sacrifice, one being, 146 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,799 you know, cast out of the camp. It's being sent out and we see 147 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:40,840 all these things happening, and what happens in this is this 148 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,120 culminates entirely in the New Testament when Jesus comes. 149 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,600 This was a lasting ordinance, but the problem was before it 150 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,400 can just be something. People started making this just 151 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,440 another ritualistic thing. What happened here is what we're 152 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,960 going to see because something tangible happens. 153 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,840 And today we all get to experiences. 154 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,400 We are not today going there sacrificing a bull. 155 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840 We are not going to the place where we're waiting outside. 156 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,160 No, the, the when you see the chief priest go in from his 157 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,720 garments, which had to be changed. 158 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,880 Everything outward, you see, there's so much of outward 159 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,480 things that happened towards repentance, whereas when you 160 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,920 look at the New Testament, everything happens internally. 161 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,840 And so that's why living out a Christian faith is even more 162 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,280 harder because we are not defined by what we do as works, 163 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,080 but we are more defined by what God's going to do internally in 164 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,720 and through us. Our motives matter with what 165 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,840 heart posture are becoming. Why are we coming in here? 166 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,120 And so there are a couple of things which I wanted to 167 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,520 highlight specifically from Leviticus chapter 16 as we look 168 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,040 at the Day of Atonement. The first thing is when we look 169 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,400 in comparison with the New Testament with Jesus being 170 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,960 present in Leviticus is the fact that we don't approach him 171 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,880 yearly. We approach him daily. 172 00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:07,000 We approach him daily. This is not a one day event in 173 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,400 our lives. It's an everyday communing with 174 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,200 Jesus. Leviticus chapter 16 verses one 175 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,200 to five. This is what it says. 176 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,640 The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of 177 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,880 Aaron who died when they approached the Lord. 178 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,800 The Lord said to Moses, Tell your brother Aaron that he is 179 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,880 not to come whenever he chooses, into the Most Holy Place behind 180 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,040 the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark, or 181 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,160 else he will die, for I will appear in the cloud over the 182 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,480 atonement cover. This is how Aaron is to enter 183 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,120 the Most Holy Place. He must first bring a young bull 184 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,240 for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 185 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,640 He used to put on sacred linen tunic with linen undergarments 186 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,120 next to his body. He used to tie the linen sash 187 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,880 around him and put on the linen turman. 188 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,240 These are sacred garments, so he must bathe himself with water 189 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,680 before he puts them on. From the Israelite community, he 190 00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:04,480 used to take 2 male goats for a sin offering and a ram for a 191 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:11,520 burnt offering. God set the tone for holiness. 192 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,160 God set the tone for holiness. He said. 193 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,960 You don't just get to approach me like however you think you 194 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,440 want because when you're entering, you're entering into 195 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,080 holiness. And the reason why God did that 196 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,600 is because God wanted people to know the cost that it counted. 197 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,360 Imagine here you need to have the sacred garments is 1 aspect. 198 00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:35,680 You have to have a bull, you have to have a ram, you have to 199 00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,800 have two goats and all these things when you have to have 200 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,040 with you what what happens? There's cost involved. 201 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,280 There is a, there's, there's this, there's this taking of 202 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:50,720 time and effort being done just to enter into his holy presence. 203 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,560 And mind you, he says that you can't enter in whenever you feel 204 00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:57,800 like. This is not, I can do it on my 205 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,880 whims and fancy. It's more of an appointed time 206 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,760 when I get to meet with God. It's a divine appointment. 207 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:09,560 Literally it was never, you know, in our Tamil culture, we 208 00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:13,480 have certain slangs that we use. You know, when, when you're 209 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,120 bargaining, when you're, when you're in that place of wanting 210 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,760 something And you know when they say, when, when a person you're 211 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,920 getting a service done and then they want that tip or they want 212 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,560 something, they'd say path panning, Sir, you know, please 213 00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:27,960 Sir, or they say Chuma panning Sir. 214 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,760 They, they kind of like bargained here. 215 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,160 God was being definite. He was saying this is how you 216 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,880 approach, else you'll die. If you read in Leviticus chapter 217 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,720 10 verses one to three, Aaron's own sons went and you know, put 218 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,200 incense and when you read it, it's scary. 219 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,440 It says this is what it says In Leviticus 10 verses one to 220 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,280 three, Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, took their senses, put 221 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,200 fire in them and added incense and they offered unauthorized 222 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,080 fire before the Lord, contrary to his command. 223 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,040 So fire came out of the presence of the Lord and consumed them 224 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,000 and they died before the Lord. Moses then said to Aaron, This 225 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,680 is what the Lord spoke of when he said among those who 226 00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:12,840 approached me, I will be proved holy, the sight of all people, 227 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,040 I'll be honored. Aaron remained silent, 228 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,440 approaching God back in that day, in the time of Leviticus 229 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,920 was on an appointed day, was by an appointed tribe, was done in 230 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,120 an appointed method. And today the consuming fire 231 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,640 that consumed Aron's sons is still alive and active today. 232 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,120 And so I want us to come to a place of realizing that if we do 233 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,280 not take what God is doing seriously, it'll consume us. 234 00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:45,560 We read when we read this, the consuming fire moved and just 235 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,920 went over Aron's sons. Just imagine as a dad, you're 236 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,720 standing there, your sons do this, which should not be done 237 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,080 and it happens right in from blatant disobedience. 238 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,480 And I pray that that won't be our heart attitude or posture 239 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,960 when we come, especially when we approach him daily. 240 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,800 The problem with approaching him daily is we approach it in our 241 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,280 convenience. But God delights when we say, 242 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,480 you know what, God, I'm here, speak to me. 243 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,640 He has got to have work. But this time that I've given, 244 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,920 I'll make sure that I'll only listen to you. 245 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,720 This time that I'm taking off is to hear from you. 246 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,320 This time I've taken is to approach your throne room. 247 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,760 This time I've taken it so that I can draw close to you. 248 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:36,600 God is wanting us to remember. Because of Jesus, the consuming 249 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,240 fire is all the more active today, and we must acknowledge 250 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,880 it today. What are we consumed by? 251 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,840 If you're not consumed by Jesus, you're consumed by something 252 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,440 else. It's evident today. 253 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,520 You know, when you're talking to certain people, you will realize 254 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,000 they're either consumed by hope that comes from Jesus or they're 255 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,080 consumed by their selfishness and by, you know, their own 256 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,480 ideas of struggles. The reason why I'm saying idea 257 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,000 of struggles is we need to come to a place that everyone has 24 258 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,720 hours, everyone has the same time, everyone. 259 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,800 How we view with the lens of Jesus matters. 260 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:18,280 Today we can view Jesus and say, you know what, this doesn't make 261 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,320 sense. It won't be consuming at all. 262 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,920 But when we move towards Jesus, we understand he's all 263 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:24,680 consuming. Why? 264 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,480 There's always a deep fire that burns for something more. 265 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,480 There's a longing for something more. 266 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,200 You suddenly look at the altar, and the altar is a place where 267 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,480 you commune because that's where you hear God the closest. 268 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,760 The altar is where you suddenly are like God. 269 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,520 This is where I see your presence. 270 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,640 This is where I want to be. A lot of us are wanting to go do 271 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,640 greater exploits outside, but we are failing to spend time at the 272 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,520 altar. What is God literally cutting 273 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,680 off you that you've relinquished to say God do as you will, 274 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,000 because the consuming fire has to take away all the 275 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,840 disobedience from us? Romans chapter 6 verses 10:50 276 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,280 talks about this. It says for the death that he 277 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:10,480 died, He died to sin, ending its power and playing the sinner's 278 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,120 death once and for all. And the sin that he lives, he 279 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,440 lives to glorify God in unbroken fellowship with Him. 280 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,920 Even so, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, and your 281 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,160 relationship to it broken, but alive to God in unbroken 282 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,800 fellowship with him. In Christ Jesus, the curse of 283 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,640 sin is broken. When the curse of sin is broken, 284 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,880 we have an unbroken fellowship with God and I pray that that 285 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,960 will be our daily output where we go say God, break the yoke of 286 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,560 sin over my life, break the consequences of the sin that I'm 287 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,640 going through. Lord Jesus, God, break the sin 288 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,440 pattern of my life. When we have this unbroken 289 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,960 fellowship with him, sin will break. 290 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,000 It will. It may happen. 291 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,120 No, it will, because when unbroken fellowship is there 292 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,240 with God, he won't allow it to really stem up because we'll be 293 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,440 like God. Sure. 294 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,359 You take the reins, you take control. 295 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:14,599 Lent is also a reminder that the veil was torn, what was set for 296 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,839 only once a year. In Matthew chapter 27, we read 297 00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:22,760 when Jesus died, the whale tore right from top to bottom, giving 298 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,520 all of us access. You and me have access to the 299 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,600 throne room of God. You know, when you look at the 300 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,600 throne room of God, there's this thing called the mercy seat. 301 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,360 When he goes in, Aaron goes in. He applies these, the blood of 302 00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:37,160 the animal over there and all that. 303 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,880 As we see, we will see that that mercy seat is where we move to 304 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,560 receive forgiveness, but you also go there to receive 305 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,880 direction. We receive power over there. 306 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,280 And so today all of us, all of us get to participate in it. 307 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,240 Today I pray that all of us will have this unbroken fellowship 308 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,320 with Jesus, not moving away from him or moving in a place and 309 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,880 saying, no, this is how I want my unbroken fellowship is so 310 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,240 that he will be able to break those sin patterns in our life. 311 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:14,280 He'll be able to cleanse us so that we are clean inside out. 312 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,840 Clean inside out. The second thing we see is we 313 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,320 leave eternally redeemed by submission and not having to 314 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,720 transfer our sins yearly. What happens in Leviticus 315 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,880 chapter 20/20/22? He shall then slaughter the goat 316 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,920 for the sin offering for the people, and take its blood 317 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,760 behind the curtain and do with it as He did with the bull's 318 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,600 blood. He shall sprinkle it on the 319 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600 atonement cover and in front of it. 320 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,480 In this way He will make atonement for the most holy 321 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,760 place because of the uncleanness and rebellion of the Israelites, 322 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,240 whatever their sins have been. He is to do the same to the tent 323 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,800 of meeting, which is among them in the midst of their 324 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,240 uncleanness. When Aaron was finished making 325 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,600 atonement for the most holy place, the tent of meeting and 326 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,160 the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat. 327 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,400 He used to lay both hands on the head of the live goat, and 328 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,120 confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of His, 329 00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:15,760 relates all their sins, and put them on the goat's head. 330 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,440 He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of 331 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,880 someone appointed for the task. The goat will carry on itself 332 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,800 all the sins to a remote place and a man shall release it in 333 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,080 the wilderness. There was a process for the Day 334 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,000 of Atonement for the transference of sin of the 335 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,600 entirety of Israel, one the goat. 336 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,880 When 2 goats were there, one was cast a lot, 1 was selected, one 337 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,480 was killed, and that blood was applied inside the Holy of 338 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,040 Holies, was applied in the atonement cover. 339 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,640 And it was literally like God, us taking the blood, saying God, 340 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,400 we are here, we are saying sorry, forgive us. 341 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,680 We plead with the blood, and then we go to the tent of 342 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,200 meeting where all are gathered. And that's why he lays both his 343 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,880 hands and confesses the entire nation's sin over that goat. 344 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,040 And the goat is set into the wilderness, never to return. 345 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,200 And as we look at this, Jesus came into the world to replace 346 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,280 entirely. He said, I'll take the entirety 347 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,160 of mankind. It was no longer a nation. 348 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,920 It no longer was a selected few. He took the entirety of mankind. 349 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,600 So today, whatever sin you're being captivated by two, 350 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,480 whatever sin you're feeling like, no, this is I can't do 351 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,800 without. You can say I can beautifully 352 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,280 give it into the hands of Jesus because he came down for you and 353 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,920 me. He came down for entirety, 354 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,280 entirety of mankind. And this is what always blows my 355 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,040 mind. God in human form, who knew no 356 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,280 sin, who did no sin, came and willfully gave his life. 357 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,480 Here they are selected, but here He, in all humility, he came 358 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,360 down. That's why I mentioned that we 359 00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:02,320 leave eternally redeemed by submission as Jesus came to the 360 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,400 cross, as Jesus came and gave himself holy to the will of the 361 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,040 Father so that the that connection will be restored. 362 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,120 And as he rose back and as he's seated on the right hand of the 363 00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:16,840 Father to intercede for us, I believe it's through submission. 364 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,280 He came through submission, holy to the will of the Father. 365 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:25,000 We holy go to the cross, submission to say, God, here I 366 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,320 am, this is me, this is me. I pray that I'll receive your 367 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,400 blood. I pray I'll receive your your 368 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,600 forgiveness. I pray I'll be redeemed. 369 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,920 He redeems us once for all. No longer is this going to be a 370 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,000 yearly task of going and having this transfer done? 371 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,080 No, you're going there. No one is going to lay hands, 372 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,040 you know. So what happens is I'm not 373 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,280 waiting just for a year. I'm here. 374 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,040 Who can say go Lord, I'm really stuck. 375 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,000 I need your help now. I want to be redeemed from this. 376 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,880 And God say every sin is broken. The power of sin is broken, the 377 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,600 power of what you think you, you, you're struggling with. 378 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,280 If you say, Lord, I submitted you, it'll break and it'll yield 379 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,200 to Jesus. When you look at the whole 380 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,040 instance, you know, animals don't have free bill. 381 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,600 So they're forced. In fact, it's they're they're 382 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,600 they're, they're the bread. And then as they are offered, it 383 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,960 was not out of free will. But here we have Jesus who came 384 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,000 down to earth out of his own will to say, I'll come and 385 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,120 redeem and be the Redeemer. He came down. 386 00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:34,760 He, he set the score straight. So today we are redeemed 387 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,480 eternally. You don't. 388 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,480 I and I don't have to go and search for anything or anyone to 389 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,040 redeem us. And this is what we read in 390 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,640 Hebrews. And he talks about the chief 391 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,920 high priest of what Jesus did when we read this, I want you to 392 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,920 come to a place of saying, Lord, I want to be eternally redeemed 393 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,840 by you. I'm sorry. 394 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,480 I just, I come once a week or I come once a while and I think 395 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,480 about what I've done. But here I want to walk away 396 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,840 knowing I'm eternally redeemed. I'll walk away. 397 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,680 I'll come and submit it. I'll walk away confident, 398 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,640 knowing that you're working in and through me. 399 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,640 A lot of us come in submitted. We, we, we get that forgiveness 400 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,280 and we go back thinking, you know what, I can always do this. 401 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,800 There's always this room for me to go because it, it, we feel 402 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,000 like it it and we end up taking Jesus for granted. 403 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,760 And I want us to come to a place where we're like, no, Jesus 404 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,840 Christ was precious. That's why I love when it's said 405 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,480 that consuming fire. We need to be consumed to know 406 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,560 like God, this ends with me, this ends with my generation, 407 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,320 this ends right here. I want to live a life wholly 408 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,280 dedicated for you, you know and let's and as we read Hebrews and 409 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,960 I pray that God will reveal that to us. 410 00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:46,400 It says here but when the Messiah write High Priest of the 411 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,160 superior things of this new covenant, he bypassed the old 412 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,600 tent and it's trappings and it's created world and went straight 413 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,040 into heaven tent, the true holy place once and for all. 414 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,680 He also bypasses sacrifices consisting of one goat and calf 415 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,000 blood, instead using his own blood as a price to set us free 416 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,320 once and for all. If that animal blood and the 417 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:10,080 other rituals of purification were effective in cleaning up 418 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,320 certain matters of our religion and behaviour, think how much 419 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,200 more the blood of Christ cleanses up our whole lives 420 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,120 inside and out through the Spirit. 421 00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:24,560 Christ offered himself as an unblemished sacrifice, freeing 422 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,400 us from all those dead end efforts to make ourselves 423 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,840 respectable so that we can live all out for God. 424 00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:37,240 You know one of the things when I read in this is inside out. 425 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,760 We are cleansed inside out no longer isn't an outward. 426 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,120 We are not just talking about the sins of what we have done 427 00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:47,600 that we put there. We're also talking about Lord 428 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,760 these these longings, these earthly longings, these desires 429 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,080 that see drive me to sin. We even comment that that's why 430 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,480 the inside out is is no longer what we're doing, but also the 431 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,320 intentions, the heart behind it. We go back to things that are 432 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,600 passed down generationally, things that have been we've been 433 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,720 confined to within spaces and the things that we've been grown 434 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,440 up, we see they no longer have a hold. 435 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,800 Lord set us free because he was this unblemished sacrifice 436 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,480 because he willingly came. No one willingly goes to die, 437 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,160 but He did because He loved you and me. 438 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,240 And we need to give up on any pursuits that take us away from 439 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,120 Jesus. We need to give up any pursuits 440 00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:33,800 that take us away because once we know we're eternally 441 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,600 redeemed, it's not a green card or a golden card for us to 442 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,560 realize, OK, my ticket to heaven is confirmed. 443 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,280 Because our actions will always be questionable if we don't live 444 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,280 out how Christ is wanting us to live out. 445 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,680 The minute we are redeemed, we are saying, Lord, I submit to 446 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,200 your will. Jesus submitted to the will of 447 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,760 the Father. We have free will. 448 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,840 And so in our free will, when we say, Lord, we accept your 449 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,960 redemption, we are redeemed eternally. 450 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,520 My will submits to His will. And suddenly I'm not being 451 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,520 governed by my free will. I'm in submission to his free 452 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,520 will to say, Lord, what do you want me to do? 453 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,000 Is this what you want me to pursue? 454 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,360 Is this relationship worth it in my life? 455 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,160 Is this coming out of a place of a selfish desire where I just 456 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,440 need my needs being met? Or is this a God oriented 457 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,320 relationship for me? God, is this something I need to 458 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,600 pursue or is this outside of your will for me? 459 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,320 That's what happens with Inside Out and the Day of Atonement, 460 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,760 when we look over here is an important feature in that 461 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,840 Israelites life because this is where they met with God. 462 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,280 And I was just reading through spoken gospel and they said this 463 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,920 beautifully. They said in the entire Torah, 464 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,720 the Day of Atonement sits right in the center. 465 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,600 And what sits at the center of the Torah is the book of 466 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,040 Leviticus. And right at the center is the 467 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,200 Day of Atonement. And it's this beautiful picture 468 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,320 of where we meet with God. And today God recites right 469 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,400 inside of us. We don't go to meet with he is 470 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,760 right there with you. So today, even as you're 471 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,640 watching it online, He's right there with you at in your home, 472 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,600 in your office, in your paying guest, in the place that you're 473 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,600 travelling. He's right there and he wants to 474 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,040 meet with you. He wants to change you inside 475 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,160 or, and I pray that we will move to this understanding. 476 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,920 They're called to live this life that has been eternally redeemed 477 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,000 for us once and for all. When we participate with Jesus, 478 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,280 we're saying, God, I am yours, you are mine. 479 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:36,200 I'll do what you say because I, as you submitted out of your own 480 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,920 free will, you submit to the will of the Father. 481 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,480 I, out of my free will submit to you, and I follow the will that 482 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,080 you have for me. Let's read 1 Peter chapter 2 483 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,880 verse 21 to 25. This is what it says. 484 00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:51,560 To this you are called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving 485 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,120 you an example that you should follow. 486 00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,520 In His steps. He committed no sin and no 487 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,600 deceit was found in His mouth. When they hurled their insults 488 00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,920 at Him. He did not retaliate when he 489 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:01,400 suffered. He made no threats. 490 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:07,640 Instead, He entrusted himself to Him who judges justly. 491 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,880 He himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we 492 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,200 might die to sin and live for righteousness. 493 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,920 By his wounds you have been healed, for you were like sheep 494 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,360 going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and 495 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:24,440 overseer of your souls. What a beautiful way. 496 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,880 We were once astray, but now we've returned to the Shepherd 497 00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:29,720 who overseas us. So it's all when they're 498 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,840 eternally redeemed. We are keeping eternity in 499 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,000 focus. We are moving, We are caring for 500 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,160 our souls. We are caring not just for a 501 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,720 body. We are caring for our souls. 502 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,640 And I pray that our eyes would be open to see Jesus this way. 503 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,880 He paid the price and so no longer do we have to go on a 504 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,520 wild goose chase. The cross becomes a focal point. 505 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:59,080 Jesus's act and the way he did it becomes our life of how we 506 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,320 have to live here on this earth. We are redeemed. 507 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,960 We need to live from the place of being redeemed. 508 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,400 We don't live from the place of being a Sinner. 509 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,600 And the problem of a lot of us is we go back always. 510 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,240 You know what? I accepted Jesus Christ. 511 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,720 And why are you living under the bondage of sin? 512 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,160 No, I'm unable to hear Jesus. I, I, I feel like the only 513 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,320 person who's moved from the cross is us. 514 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,760 And I pray that we will move to that place because the closer we 515 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,280 are, we will always know that we are redeemed. 516 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,360 We are eternally redeemed and so there won't be this unnecessary 517 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,600 striving. There will be a deep longing to 518 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:43,680 go deeper into His word, and I pray that we will see Jesus more 519 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,720 clearly now. They had to offer and transfer 520 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,920 their sins, but Jesus paid it all. 521 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,600 Jesus paid it all. It's interesting that as you 522 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,640 journey with Jesus, He'll remind you of certain aspects of sins 523 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,480 that you've committed. And every time he reminds you, 524 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,480 it's for you to go back and say, Lord, I'm sorry I was so foolish 525 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,280 that time. I was so foolish. 526 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,840 I, I repent of those ways. Lord, do in me something. 527 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,840 And I pray that each of us will take this time, this season to 528 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,920 repent of things that are plaguing us. 529 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,680 Some of us have hidden it. He knows everything. 530 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,800 I pray we'll come clean so that he can do his work inside so 531 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,560 that will be revealed in the outside. 532 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,840 The third thing which I want to take from this Leviticus chapter 533 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:36,200 16 is the price is paid once for all and it's not recurring. 534 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,440 The price is paid once. All. 535 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,480 The reason I put this in the eternally redeemed, but the 536 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,800 price is paid once for all is we most often think we need to. 537 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,880 We, we always are. We are always in cinema mode. 538 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,080 We are redeemed, the price is paid, so we have access. 539 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,120 You really don't have to have that intermediate and the and 540 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,880 the, and the thing with Leviticus when you read is there 541 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,520 was always a physical cost that was involved. 542 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,720 The cost of an ox today is around probably ₹80,000. 543 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,360 The cost of a ram should be a little less than that. 544 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,080 The cost of a goat is roughly around 40. 545 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,480 And so yearly when you come to meet with God as a nation and 546 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,480 there was a cost involved, but today, as we individually go, 547 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,440 you might think there's no cost. There is a cost involved. 548 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:29,560 We all have to pay a price. And the price is often times our 549 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,200 time. The price is our retention. 550 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,040 The price is our will. The price is our open hearts. 551 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,440 Jesus has paid his price, but today are we paying our price? 552 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,800 He paid the price once for all. It's not a reckoning. 553 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,160 So what happens is every year they have to know today when we 554 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,560 go into God's throne room, everyday, however you call that 555 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,360 throne room yours because each of us have ways of listening to 556 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,360 what the Spirit has to say. But I pray that we move to a 557 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:03,040 place of saying, Lord, I'm here do your will, I'm here do your 558 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,120 will. I'm here do your will. 559 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:11,680 Because what He wants to do is far bigger than what we can 560 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,320 imagine. What he wants to do in and 561 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,520 through US, what he wants to set us up is far bigger. 562 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,440 The reason why Jesus came and he wanted to put an end to this is 563 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,840 because what happens generationally when something is 564 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,120 done ritualistically is lot of add-ons happen, lot of add-ons 565 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,720 happen. And so this basically became a 566 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,680 ritualistic thing. It became of it became it became 567 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,160 everything it had had to be because economically there was 568 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,400 something there was an economy that was running around it. 569 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,520 There were so many other businesses that were probably 570 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,120 running around it. Jesus saw these guys have made a 571 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,880 mockery of what I have called them to do the very presence 572 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,680 that they they put the price so big. 573 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,160 So of the only those who afford could feel like they are 574 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,600 redeemed. No, God, Jesus broke everything. 575 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,280 He came for every tribe, for every nation, for every color, 576 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,800 for every cast, for every skin color, for anyone who's out 577 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,720 there, whether you're with, with, with certain kind of 578 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:16,240 physical disabilities or whatever you have, He came for 579 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,960 everything. It's paid once for all. 580 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,560 It's not a recurring thing. You don't have to go back again 581 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,400 and try doing something to win his love. 582 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:29,120 He's done it and I pray that we are pursuits will never be about 583 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,080 the doing. It'll come down to the being. 584 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,160 It'll come down to the being being with Jesus. 585 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,720 Reading from Leviticus chapter 16 verses 31 onwards, it says 586 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,960 it's a day of Sabbath rest and you must deny yourselves. 587 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,440 It's a lasting ordinance. A priest who is appointed, 588 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,800 anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest is to 589 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,600 make atonement. He is to put on the sacred 590 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,520 living garments and make atonement for the most Holy 591 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,080 place, for the tent of meeting in the altar and for the priest 592 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,560 and all the members of the community. 593 00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,880 This is to be a lasting ordinance for you. 594 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,680 Atonement is to be made once a year for all the sins of 595 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,800 Israelites and it was done as the Lord commanded Moses. 596 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:12,040 So even as we read, I pray that the price is paid once for all. 597 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,560 It was a command for them. Even as they moved into building 598 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,120 the temple it was the same command. 599 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,000 Even in Jesus time it was the same thing that was being 600 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,320 followed. But when Jesus died on the 601 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:28,199 cross, he who knew no sin, when he took the unblemished one, 602 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,520 took the sin of the world. It was done once for all. 603 00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:35,520 And so today I pray we would find moments where we will be so 604 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,920 comfortable with being in His presence. 605 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,080 So I pray that today we will move to a place of realizing 606 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,040 there's not anything that I can do that can actually be done. 607 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,159 What Jesus has not done. Jesus has done everything. 608 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,080 It's finished. So what we need to do is go and 609 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,600 be in His presence more. Be at His footstool mode, be at 610 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,440 His mercy seat mode, be at the altar where we meet with Him. 611 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:02,000 And the reason why I'm emphasizing the altar is because 612 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,400 that's where we lay everything down. 613 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,080 And that's where when we lay, He speaks. 614 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,880 He might be like, but that, that is the sacrifice that he's 615 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,240 calling us to because he's done everything here. 616 00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:15,560 I'm willingly laying everything saying, Lord, everything I have 617 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,720 is yours. My money is yours. 618 00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:22,120 My family is yours. My whatever I've built so far, 619 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,160 whatever I thought I have in mind is all yours. 620 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:30,720 And I lay it at your feet. I lay it at your feet even as I 621 00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:33,960 come, come, come to a conclusion. 622 00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:38,640 I want to conclude with this, conclude that we'll be consumed 623 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,000 so that we are not shaken. And this comes from a passage 624 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,360 which I was reading in the New Testament where it talks about 625 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,320 in Hebrews where we'll be consumed by him and we won't be 626 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,600 shaken. The problem is, a lot of times 627 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,520 the world shakes us up. The world shakes us up, and then 628 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,600 we realize we are also shaken in the presence of God, shaken 629 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,120 because a lot of our stubbornness, a lot of the areas 630 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,040 where we are unwilling to let go, God shakes us up. 631 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,400 His word shakes us up. His Spirit shakes us up. 632 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:11,000 His move shakes us up. The anointing which rests on us 633 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,960 starts shaking. And a lot of us are not being, 634 00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:14,640 are not wanting to be consumed by that. 635 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:20,720 But I pray even as those men, as Adam's sons went into the altar 636 00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:23,720 there, even as they did it when they shouldn't have done it, but 637 00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:26,480 they got consumed by the fire, I pray we will move to the altar 638 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,280 waiting to be consumed. Why is this important? 639 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,200 Because we can either move and look at the entire thing. 640 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,600 One of the things when you look at Leviticus is we can look at 641 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,640 it from a perspective of work, or we can look at it from a 642 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,080 perspective of worship. When you look at it from work, 643 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,480 there's so much to follow. But the bottom line, the base 644 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,000 time for all of that was worship. 645 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,200 And somewhere that got messed him. 646 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,520 When Jesus came, he turned the table. 647 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,240 He said worship me. And because you worship me, 648 00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:56,760 you'll start doing so many other things. 649 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,040 And I pray that turnover, when the tables turn over is 650 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,440 something we'll move towards. We will be there so that we'll 651 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,880 be able to witness it. We'll be able to see certain 652 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:11,040 things move in our own lives. We need to worship, which means 653 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,240 we need to behold Him as I started. 654 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,840 When we behold him, we become whole. 655 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,840 The altar should be a place which is common to us is a place 656 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,280 which we don't take it for granted, common that we're 657 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:24,800 excited every time we meet there. 658 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,480 Anything that's become common, we after a point, we take it for 659 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,240 granted. But I pray it should amaze us. 660 00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:33,480 You know, for me and Tina, one of the things that has become 661 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,840 common is this place. But every time we enter and we 662 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,560 are in this place of thinking, we don't deserve this God. 663 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,120 Why did we? We are marvelled at His grace. 664 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,520 We are marvelled at His provision. 665 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,240 We are marvelled in the way He's LED us. 666 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,440 And I pray that every time you move to the altar, to the places 667 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,360 where we meet with Him, we will be marvelled. 668 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:59,880 God will do when we lay our issues and our heart idols at 669 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,520 His feet. His feet is the altars when we 670 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,000 laid it there. I pray that all that will become 671 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,320 a sweet incense and God will consume us. 672 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,800 The consuming fire did something to Aaron's sons because they 673 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,480 were not. They blatantly disobeyed. 674 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,640 But I pray our obedience will cause us to be consumed so that 675 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,920 we'll be doing what we have to do. 676 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,120 You know, even before we read Hebrews chapter 12, the title of 677 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,440 that is Mountain of Fear, Mountain of Joy. 678 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:36,440 Do we approach God with fear, or do we approach Him with joy? 679 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,080 So let's read this particular passage. 680 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,040 Hebrews 12, as I conclude, was the 18 to 29. 681 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,480 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched, that is 682 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,120 burning with fire, to darkness, gloom and storm, to a trumpet 683 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,160 blast, or to a such a voice speaking words that those who 684 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,560 heard it begged that no further word to be spoken to them 685 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,160 because they could not bear what was commanded. 686 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,320 If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to 687 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,480 death. The sight was so terrifying that 688 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,320 Moses said, I'm trembling with fear. 689 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,800 But you have come to the Mount Zion, to the city of the living 690 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,520 God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon 691 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,920 thousands upon angels in joyful assembly, to the Church of the 692 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,360 first born whose names are written in heaven. 693 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,000 You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the 694 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,960 righteous made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of a new covenant, 695 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,680 and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the 696 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,680 blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse 697 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,680 Him who speaks. If they do not escape when they 698 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:42,680 refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we if 699 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:47,080 we turn away from Him who warned us from heaven at that time? 700 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,520 His voice shook the earth, but now he has promised once more I 701 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,760 will shake not only the earth but also the heavens. 702 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,280 The words once more indicate the removing of what can be shaken 703 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,600 that has created things, so that what cannot be shaken may 704 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,000 remain. Therefore, since we are 705 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,320 receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, that is, be thankful 706 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:10,480 and so worship God acceptably with the reverence and awe. 707 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:16,400 For our God is a consuming fire. God is a consuming fire. 708 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:23,000 The reason why I'm reading this is because the the way God dealt 709 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,600 with Israel in that entire journey in the wilderness was to 710 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,240 instill His Holiness in them. His Holiness will. 711 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,800 One of the outworkings is fear, but it wasn't a fear of wanting 712 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,520 to meet. In fact, they said they just 713 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,520 sent Moses up saying you go, you go be them. 714 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,520 God wanted everyone, but they just sent him. 715 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,920 Fear settled in because they thought what God would do to 716 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,040 them, but they they missed out on the aspect of worship. 717 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,200 And even as we read this, when I read it in the message, it says 718 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,360 it even more beautifully talks about it in verse 28 to 29. 719 00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:59,320 Do you see what we've got an unshakeable Kingdom. 720 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,640 And do you see how thankful we must be? 721 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,800 Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent 722 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,800 before God. For God is not an indifferent 723 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,400 bystander. He's actively cleaning house, 724 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,440 torching all the needs to burn, and he won't quit until it all 725 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,680 is cleansed out. God himself is fire. 726 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,320 The mountain had a physical representation of God, His 727 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,160 Holiness, because they didn't want to meet. 728 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,560 God made that entire mountain structure so holy that He told 729 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,040 no one can approach the mountain. 730 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,400 But then when he came down to earth, he wanted to recite with 731 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,680 each and every one of us today, as His Holy Spirit who's been 732 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,680 commissioned to be with us is in US. 733 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,560 He is the consuming fight who's within us. 734 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,120 So today, the day of Atonement is not that one day that one 735 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,000 moment is rather than every day is another and every breathing 736 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,200 moment that we have. But he's wanting to consume us 737 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,000 inside out. It says here, he torches what is 738 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,120 torches? It literally burns up 739 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,360 everything. And I pray that will be a stance 740 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,200 to say, Lord, torch me. Lord, today I'm here. 741 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,160 What do you want me to do, Lord, what is my worship to you? 742 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,920 What? What do you want to deposit in 743 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,080 me that I need to let go of certain things. 744 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,880 The Day of atonement was to find mercy and to see God yearly. 745 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,600 But today when he touches us, we are clean inside out. 746 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,640 We're like God. I'm coming expected. 747 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,400 God, I'm coming here for you to move. 748 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,360 I'm coming here to see something greater. 749 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,600 I'm coming here to see something beautiful. 750 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,040 I'm coming here to see something marvelous. 751 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,360 I'm coming here to see something magnificent. 752 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,800 I have to be in awe and in wonder of what you're going to 753 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:44,880 do because that's the God that we serve, beholding His glory 754 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,640 and becoming whole. And so I pray that none of us 755 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:53,120 will go on this pilgrimage to search, but wherever we are, 756 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,680 we'll accept Jesus as a Lord and personal Savior. 757 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,520 I don't want to extend this option because you've not 758 00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,720 accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Savior. 759 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,280 You can he's he came down to die for you and me. 760 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,880 And so if you want to accept him, I would be honored to lead 761 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,920 you into this prayer of confession. 762 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,360 And we say, Lord, you're all I need. 763 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,760 And if that's you, if you're not, you're all this well, 764 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,160 you've probably heard the name of Jesus and you're like, you 765 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,800 know what? But today you're like, God. 766 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,560 This really convicted me. I don't want it to be a one off 767 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,080 thing. I want to be an everyday thing. 768 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,240 We can accept Jesus as a person and he's willing to come and 769 00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:28,840 live inside of us. So you can repeat this prayer 770 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:34,840 after me Loving Heavenly Father. Thank you for your word. 771 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:43,200 I know I'm a Sinner. I need to be saved. 772 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:51,280 I call on you Jesus to be my Lord, God and Saviour. 773 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,880 I believe you died on the cross for my sins. 774 00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,440 You rose up on the third day and today you're seated with the 775 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,360 Father and you're going to come back. 776 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,440 And because of you I'll have eternity to spend with you. 777 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:14,560 I invite you into my heart. I pray and ask that you will be 778 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,640 God over my life. Sin no longer will be will have 779 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,640 any rule over my life. I commit to you. 780 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:28,000 Holy be, Lord and Savior, in your most holy name I pray, 781 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:29,640 Amen. Amen. 782 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,000 I pray that those of you who made that prayer will be able to 783 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,880 start this journey afresh. For those of you who would love 784 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,120 to know how to become a disciple, get in touch with us. 785 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,440 You would love to journey with you. 786 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,040 But even As for those of you who probably have been seasoned 787 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,400 Christians, I pray that we'll move into a place of realizing 788 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,280 that. Lord, I want to meet with you. 789 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:56,920 I want to behold your glory so that I can become whole, so that 790 00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,800 I can become whole. This, this, this portion that 791 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:04,840 we're seeing is for us to draw closer to Jesus, to find his 792 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,440 presence more deeper. Not shallow, but you're going to 793 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:09,520 dig deep. You're going to say, Lord, I 794 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,760 need you. I need your understanding. 795 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,880 I need that. If this is a season of weight, I 796 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,720 will wait. Well, if this is a season of 797 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,880 doing exploits, I will rely on your strength and do great 798 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,920 exploits. So can I pray? 799 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,200 And as we start this week, let's comment to him. 800 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,360 Lord, I thank you, Lord, for this word that we heard. 801 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,960 I pray, Lord, that it will fall into the good portions of our 802 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,680 soil. I pray that for those who've 803 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,320 been scared by your presence, who've been having a lot of 804 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,280 cultural teams running around this, I pray we killed all of 805 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,240 that. The way you came willfully in 806 00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:41,360 submission to the Father, we come willfully and submit to 807 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,680 you. You be Lord and Savior of our 808 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,120 lives. You do everything that you have 809 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,480 to do for us, Lord Jesus, so that we'll be able to bring 810 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,760 glory and honour to your name. Be glorified and honoured. 811 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:53,520 I pray You'll bless each and everyone. 812 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:54,840 Bless the food and water of their home. 813 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,240 Bless their going out and coming in. 814 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,120 Bless everything that they undertake so that you will be 815 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,360 glorified. Take charge. 816 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,400 Be with us, Lord, Your most holy name we pray, Amen, Amen. 817 00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:08,520 Amen. I pray that even as you heard 818 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,720 this, that you'll be able to behold His glory and you'll 819 00:46:11,720 --> 00:46:14,840 become whole. And even as I read in that last 820 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:19,040 thing, that He will be the consuming fire in your life, 821 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,240 that He will be the consumer. And even as you go in to those 822 00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:27,480 meeting moments with Him, as you sit in that altar as Jesus 823 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,120 submitted, you will submit everything and God will reveal 824 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,640 Himself to you. Pray that you have a blessed 825 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:34,720 week. God bless you all. 826 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,400 Thanks for listening to this message. 827 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,240 We hope you were blessed to hear more messages like this. 828 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,600 Make sure to subscribe and check out our podcast channel for past 829 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,880 episodes.
