1 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,560 Turn over to Luke Chapter 2. Today we're going to start a 2 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,040 series, which is why we jumped into filming on Wednesday nights 3 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,680 because this is, again, we're dealing with the reigning 4 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,800 spirit. We've been talking about this 5 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,520 all year for, you know, you know, we're talking about just 6 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,760 reigning for quite some time really since 2020 specifically. 7 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,640 But we're dealing with the reigning spirit. 8 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,480 And in order to deal with the reigning spirit, you're going to 9 00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:42,120 have to get into the realm of the spirit. 10 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,120 And so I'm going to start a study that I've never taught 11 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,080 ever, ever. So it's going to be a fun 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,280 journey together. Amen. 13 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,680 And I'm excited because based upon what the Lord has revealed 14 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,880 to me in the word I, and you know, I have to conclude the 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,200 Lord's like, now I want to teach you something else. 16 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,160 OK, Now, I'm not saying that people hadn't studied this. 17 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,080 I mean, you get plenty of books about these things. 18 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,840 They're just unfortunately, they're probably not going to be 19 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,520 mostly accurate. And most of our thoughts 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,800 concerning the things we'll discuss in the realm of angels, 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,880 OK, You know, it's it's probably more Hollywood than it is 22 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,240 biblical, all right. Our own personal fantasy based 23 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,320 upon things that we've seen. But we want to stay with the 24 00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:30,960 word specifically, OK, when we talk about realms, let me go 25 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,680 back. The reason we went to Wednesdays 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,400 because some of the subject matter I want to cover is 27 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,840 probably better for dedicated Wednesday night people because 28 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,680 there's another increase of hunger as opposed to Sunday. 29 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,160 Now if you say obviously you're not a Sunday only person because 30 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:57,080 you're here, OK, but Sunday only, you know hadn't arrived to 31 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,600 the location that man I need to be inside the door of the place 32 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,120 God has placed me to learn as often as I can Are you hear me? 33 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,360 OK, so we need to do these on Wednesday nights in the in the 34 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,000 realm of the spirit. OK, there's a couple things we 35 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,800 need to solidify in this room right now. 36 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:28,760 There are things in this realm, but we do not see it nor hear 37 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,960 it. The light spectrum 38 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,320 scientifically only goes so far that you can see with the 39 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,320 visible eye, but there is others. 40 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,560 If you put lenses on, you would be able to see them. 41 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,840 There are particles that exist right now in this room that if 42 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,920 we magnified it, we would see them. 43 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,760 So it's not like it's somewhere else, like we have to pull a 44 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,000 veil. It's in another dimension, is 45 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,080 what I'm saying. You know, we talk about 46 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,960 dimensions, OK? You know, there's this huge 47 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,360 thing that's that's happening now in the Marvel community as 48 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,680 the multiverse, multiple dimensions, right? 49 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:15,800 So, you know, we have these ideas of these other realms, 50 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,320 these other things, but in this room right now are so many 51 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,160 things that exist. We just aren't tapped into it 52 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,880 again. There are sound waves besides my 53 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,680 sound in this room. And if you everyone turned on 54 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,000 their phones right now and went to, you know, whatever your 55 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,680 favorite, you know, app to listen to music that's being 56 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,880 sent through our phones and you pulled up not your playlist you 57 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,200 downloaded, but things that are out there that's being played on 58 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,640 particular stations. OK, then if you hit that, what 59 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,560 if I was on the same station as you? 60 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,000 We would hear the same music. But if someone else was on one, 61 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,560 they would hear a different one. It's being broadcast and we're 62 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,560 able to receive it. Are you hearing me? 63 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,040 OK, so again, it exists now in this realm. 64 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,480 We just don't hear it right now or see it. 65 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,959 So why have we concluded that the realm of the spirit isn't in 66 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:27,800 this realm? Why have we concluded that 67 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,360 angels that are in the room today aren't actually in this 68 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,680 realm, but in a different dimension or a separate realm? 69 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,760 Why do we conclude that Heaven's not in this realm? 70 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,200 I mean, Paul said I knew a man, whether in body or not, caught 71 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,120 up to the 3rd heaven. So we know there's a first one. 72 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,080 Most believe it's the ones we see. 73 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,960 You know our atmosphere, That's the heavens. 74 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,280 You know where the clouds and all that. 75 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:04,840 Then you get out into the universe. 76 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,040 They consider that the 2nd heaven and how far does that go? 77 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,160 But what about the 3rd heaven, right? 78 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,720 Where does it exist? We're like it's beyond space and 79 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,840 time. But is it now? 80 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,160 Is it beyond time? In the context of eternity, yes. 81 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,960 But you understand eternity in and of itself. 82 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,600 If you could count, you could count. 83 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,880 I mean because Y is 2/2. I mean Y is 2/2. 84 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,560 Who decided that after one we called it two and not 3? 85 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,200 Why is it not 1357627? No, I already said seven. 86 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,760 But you understand that we would count to you know, a number and 87 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,520 there it is. Why it is double digits? 88 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,160 Why could we not have a single digit after a double digit? 89 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,000 Well, there's something reasoned behind that. 90 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,400 I understand that. But again, in the realm of just 91 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:14,320 12345 up to 9, that's an order and we've assigned a name to a 92 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,920 an amount, correct. OK. 93 00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:25,040 So once again, there's these thought processes that we have 94 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,920 accepted or we're thinking exists, but yet we really don't 95 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,520 have anything that determines why. 96 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,360 It's like it's been explained because again, when you can't 97 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,680 see something, it's very difficult to understand. 98 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,760 And So what takes place is we begin to add stuff to things we 99 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,280 don't know about. And typically we try to grapple 100 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:52,480 from things that we currently see in one sense, right. 101 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,800 However, the Bible does give us information about things that if 102 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,880 we just take it for face value, it is, it is what it is. 103 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,840 I mean, the New Jerusalem right now that's being built is 104 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:14,440 physical. It is physical matter because in 105 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,680 the end, when it comes down out of heaven to the earth, you will 106 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,280 physically see it. So it's physically being 107 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:30,600 constructed somewhere. We say heaven. 108 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,440 I have no problem with that. Now there are people. 109 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,560 And again, I'm going to say a few things that I I'm not here 110 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,240 to directly substantiate from Scripture. 111 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,720 I'm just saying based upon the order that we see, OK, that some 112 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:51,600 believe based upon the comment that Satan said when he would 113 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,960 raise up his throne above the Most High because he's the 114 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,440 reigning spirit, right? And that he would His that in 115 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,400 the recesses of the North, well, he gives a direction. 116 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,560 Well, if heaven is everywhere, then how can it just be north? 117 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,240 Some believe that heaven's an actual planet. 118 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,400 Now can we see all the way to the ends of the universe? 119 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,440 Could it be out there? It could. 120 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,120 And how hard would it be for God to transport what he has on that 121 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:38,159 place to this place? I mean, he's creator now. 122 00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,080 Again, our finite minds a lot of times has a hard time grappling 123 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,640 with the, you know, infinite thought processes. 124 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,880 And I'm not here to answer all those questions, but I am here 125 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,800 to get us to think. Since you're thinking, think, 126 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,480 all right. But tonight's intention is to be 127 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,120 able to show there is a thing called heavenly hosts because 128 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,200 the Bible says so. OK, the Bible says so turn over 129 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:10,400 to Luke chapter 2, Luke chapter 2, starting in verse eight. 130 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,840 It says in the same region, there were some shepherds 131 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,800 staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock 132 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,880 by night. And you thought this was only a 133 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:28,890 Christmas scripture and an Angel of the Lord suddenly stood 134 00:09:28,890 --> 00:09:32,690 before them. Now who's to say he wasn't 135 00:09:32,690 --> 00:09:42,880 standing there the whole time? But it's obvious they saw him. 136 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,080 He's standing now so they can see. 137 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,680 And suddenly he stood before them, and the glory of the Lord 138 00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:52,360 shone around them, and they were terribly frightened. 139 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,800 But the Angel said to them, do not be frightened. 140 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,360 For behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which will be 141 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,240 for all the people. For today in the city of David 142 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:08,640 there has been born for you a Savior who is Christ the Lord. 143 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,680 This will be a sign for you, and you will find a baby wrapped in 144 00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:15,640 clothes and lying in a Manger. And suddenly there appeared with 145 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,320 the Angel a multitude of the heavenly what host they were, 146 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,640 praising God and saying, glory to God in the highest and on 147 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,760 earth, peace among men with whom he is pleased. 148 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,240 When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the 149 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,800 shepherds began saying to one another, Let us go straight to 150 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640 Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened, which 151 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,600 the Lord has made what known to us. 152 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,120 There's a lot to unpack in this passive scripture and has 153 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,800 nothing to do with Christmas. OK, again, because we get 154 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,320 familiar with scriptures at certain times of the year, we 155 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,680 act like that's all they are about and they're not. 156 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,240 So #1 in this passive scripture, we see that when they showed up, 157 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,320 they were terribly frightened. OK, now I just want you to 158 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,040 understand something. Have you ever been somewhere 159 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,120 where all of a sudden you turned around and someone was there and 160 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,400 you didn't realize they were there? 161 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,080 And what do you typically do? Yes, you jump. 162 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,320 Scream. You are terribly frightened, 163 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,240 right? I didn't, you know, you're like, 164 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,360 you jump. I mean, you're everything, you 165 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,040 know? And some spouses are like, this 166 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,520 is cool. I'm going to, like, scare my 167 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,120 spouse, right. And you're like, Boo, you know, 168 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,480 you're like, jump out and you're like, you know, you, you're 169 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,040 there, but you're not there. And then all of a sudden you 170 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:48,320 show up and you're like, right. I say that because do not think 171 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,000 it's because of what they look like that scared them. 172 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,760 It's not because of their appearance as much as is the 173 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,680 suddenness of their appearing. Just like we have experienced 174 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:09,360 our own personal self on more than one occasion, on more than 175 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,080 one occasion, many times. Even in, you know, here I've 176 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,360 come, you know, either down, open the door or something. 177 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,240 All of a sudden someone's shocked because they were not 178 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,960 expecting me to be right there behind the door when they opened 179 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,240 it up, Right. OK. 180 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,560 The second thing then we see is that they came and brought news. 181 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,680 So angels by definition. Another term for this is 182 00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:36,520 messenger. Messenger, OK. 183 00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:38,880 And we're going to see here that there are spirit beings, because 184 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,120 I'm dealing with heavenly hosts. I'm not just dealing with 185 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,040 angels. Tonight, although primarily 186 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,320 we'll talk about angels, because angels themselves has a direct 187 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,440 assignment to the kings. We'll say that again. 188 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,200 Angels themselves have a direct assignment to the kings. 189 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,800 In the hierarchy of the Kingdom, a messenger is not over the 190 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,880 king. The king sends the messenger. 191 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,960 Are you hearing me? So it's more of what he what his 192 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,400 job description. We could say he is a spirit 193 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,960 being that God has created. We'll talk about what they look 194 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,320 like here in a little bit. But God has created and their 195 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,480 assignment is to bring message. They have a message that they're 196 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,120 going to bring. That's their primary duty is 197 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,360 they're going to be bringing message. 198 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,880 And we see this not only in the Old Covenant, they'll actually 199 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,360 do it. In the New Covenant, they'll do 200 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,520 it when helping the Lord reap people. 201 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,600 They'll become personal escorts, All right. 202 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,680 So they bring a message. They're bringing, they're 203 00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:56,760 communicating. So it says a heavenly host. 204 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,920 There's this huge, there's this amount, we don't know how many. 205 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,480 And we're going to look at some scriptures concerning, you know, 206 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,800 hosts. What does that even mean? 207 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,080 Now, when we say hosts, we could keep a general sense and say the 208 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,640 actual moon and stars, anything created in the heavens. 209 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,720 OK, but there are very defined spirit beings in the heavens. 210 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,760 The intent today is not to show you the demonic realm in the 211 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,400 heavens. That's before a later study. 212 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,440 When we deal with that side and that side is subject to us. 213 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,280 That side is afraid of us when you know your authority. 214 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:44,040 So the exorcist would have never happened if they would have 215 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,360 called Pastor Earl. Never would have happened, 216 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,040 right? If Pastor Earl would have came 217 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:04,120 to the house that poltergeist, it would have been clean, OK? 218 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,640 Because a person who knows their authority in Christ is the 219 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,240 dominant spirit. It's the reigning spirit, 220 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,440 period. And I don't care how they're 221 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,200 acting or what they look like, you know that the madman of 222 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:27,680 Gadera did not look good, as gashed up as he was and as 223 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,280 fanatical as he looked run into Jesus. 224 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,960 But did it cause Jesus to get scared and put Peter in front of 225 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,440 him? Are they out? 226 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,160 Let's get back in the boat. We're out of here. 227 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:41,320 No, He's like falling down at his feet, begging him. 228 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,840 And he's like, get out, right. What's your name? 229 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,760 Get out. I'll give you permission. 230 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,240 Go. I'll give you permission. 231 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,120 I'm the reigning spirit. But Mad Hollywood has sold the 232 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,880 demonic realm like it's the bad, Bad. 233 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,640 Now, again, if you enjoy those movies, that's why they have the 234 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,520 ability to keep you in fear and they challenge your authority. 235 00:16:10,110 --> 00:16:17,190 Hallelujah, OK, but we're not talking about that realm. 236 00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:20,390 That's there because of the principles and powers that work 237 00:16:20,390 --> 00:16:21,510 in that. We'll deal with those later. 238 00:16:21,510 --> 00:16:23,390 We're dealing with the God side, OK? 239 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,000 The ones that have stayed loyal and obedient to God. 240 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,200 So they communicate to the shepherds this one Angel. 241 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,760 Then all of a sudden more angels appear in verse 13, a multitude 242 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,880 of heavenly hosts. And then they say, and guess 243 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,040 what? The shepherds see every one of 244 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:48,080 them. So angels can be seen. 245 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,880 They can be. In fact, you may have seen some 246 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,400 and you just don't know. And I'll show you in Scripture 247 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,080 later tonight why that is so. OK. 248 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,200 All right. So with that being said, let's 249 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,359 then ask the question, how many are out there? 250 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,200 Well, it's an innumerable of host. 251 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,319 That means it's without number. They're so vast. 252 00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:17,800 You're just not. You're not numbering them. 253 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,720 And so the Bible uses a different term. 254 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,720 Look at Hebrews chapter 12, verse 22. 255 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,520 It says. But you have come to Mao Zahn 256 00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:28,200 and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. 257 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,760 And to what? Myriads of angels. 258 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,920 There's a term here, myriads, that are used when it comes to 259 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,240 angels. It's like there's so many. 260 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,240 How do you count them? There's so many. 261 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,800 How do you even begin to count? The question is what are they 262 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:53,120 doing? And I would say because we don't 263 00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:56,960 understand what they should be doing in connection with us, 264 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,280 some of them are sitting around waiting to go to work. 265 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,600 Like I sure wish that they would give me something to do. 266 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,880 Are you hearing me? All right now we are. 267 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,000 Just let me preface this before people get off, OK, because this 268 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,840 is a study. I'm not going to answer every 269 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,600 question today, but I'll start dealing with stuff that I hear 270 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,000 in my spirit that you are saying in your spirit, in your mind. 271 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,600 OK? An Angel is not a substitute for 272 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:38,640 you to disregard the Holy Ghost. OK, that's not we are in the 273 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,840 dispensation where now we are born of God in the third person 274 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,440 of the Godhead. The reigning spirit lives in US 275 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,720 and speaks to us personally. We have a direct connection to 276 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,720 the throne room, but even though we do, God still in this 277 00:18:52,720 --> 00:19:01,120 covenant will use angels. So you're not more spiritual if 278 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:08,240 you encountered 1. In fact, if all you do is talk 279 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,160 about them, you're actually an error. 280 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,360 You're going to get an error because angels don't even 281 00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:22,120 emphasize themselves. They are just emphasizing the 282 00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:26,400 message. Hallelujah. 283 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,480 But they have some power if you don't listen to the message. 284 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,120 OK? They have power if you don't 285 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:37,320 listen to the message. All right. 286 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,480 So let's look at Psalm 6817. The Chariots of God are myriads, 287 00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:49,800 thousands upon thousands. And the Lord is among them, as 288 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,640 at Sinai, in holiness. So again, we have this, like 289 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,480 trying to grapple this mindset of just how many. 290 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,520 They're just innumerable you, you cannot count them all. 291 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,120 There are quite. I mean, there's there's a lot. 292 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,120 That's why they're called a heavenly host. 293 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:13,200 And again, he, he's called the Lord of Hosts. 294 00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:16,480 OK, the Lord of Hosts. Now the King James alone 295 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,800 referenced the Lord of hosts 273 times. 296 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,800 Where you'll hear him be called the Lord of Hosts, The Lord of 297 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,840 Hosts, The Lord of Hosts. Well, who's he hosting? 298 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,160 So he's the Lord, Or he's the most high of the heavenly hosts. 299 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,960 And let me just preface it this way. 300 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,920 Or let me say this as well. Not only is he the most high of 301 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,360 the heavenly hosts that have stayed and obeyed Him, He's 302 00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:46,640 still the most high of those who rebelled. 303 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,000 OK, All right, Daniel, Chapter 7 again. 304 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,840 Let everything be confirmed by two or three witnesses. 305 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,760 That's why we're kind of running some of these things through, so 306 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,840 that you can see #1. We've already seen there's this 307 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,720 heavenly host, there's this Angel. 308 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,240 The multitude of angels come. They exist. 309 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,360 The Bible talks about them. The Bible says they exist. 310 00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:11,640 Man can see them. They can appear before man. 311 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,920 They have the capacity to show themselves or to remove 312 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,920 themselves. OK, because they're not limited 313 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,240 to this physical realm. See, we are limited to the 314 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,040 physical realm today because we were born of the dust of the 315 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,200 earth. God can find us in this realm 316 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,840 now. Can he remove us from this 317 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,680 realm? Sure, by your spirit. 318 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,400 That's why we know through visions or through, you know, 319 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,200 even being teleported, so to speak. 320 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,680 Translated, you could say you can be moved to where you are 321 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,080 able to see God in his realm. Where your natural eyes Because 322 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,760 again, the things of the Spirit are matter is what I mean. 323 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,440 I mean God sits on a literal throne, you would be able to 324 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,760 touch it. This is not figurative. 325 00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:09,760 I mean even the Lord himself like nobody's ever seen my face. 326 00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,240 I'm going to hide you in the cleft of the rock. 327 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:20,160 You can see my back parts cause the Father has some some form to 328 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:27,960 him even though he's spirit. OK so Daniel Chapter 7, verse 9 329 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,000 and 10 says I kept looking until Thrones were set up because 330 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,680 again Thrones are in kingdoms not religions and the ancient of 331 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,840 days that's the father took his seat his vestue was like white 332 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,000 snow and the hair of his head was pure wool. 333 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,760 So what color is our our daddy's hair right now? 334 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:53,880 He has not dyed it. There's no Just For God hair 335 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,880 coloring product in heaven, right? 336 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,720 I mean, we know the color of our father's hair, although I've 337 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:08,400 never seen it. He's told me OK And it says his 338 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,320 throne was ablaze with flames. That's going to be pretty 339 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,840 amazing, all right? Its wheels were a burning fire. 340 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,120 A river of fire was flowing and coming out before him. 341 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,040 He's pretty intimidating, Daddy, right Then it says. 342 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,240 Thousands upon thousands were attending him, and myriads upon 343 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,200 myriads were standing before him. 344 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,960 The court sat and the books were open. 345 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,160 Come on, what a day, I said. What a day. 346 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,840 So when the court set, there's going to be a grandstand of 347 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,120 attending. Are you hearing me now? 348 00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:54,360 If you want to read more about this, you can go to Daniel 7 and 349 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:56,160 see what he's talking about, 'cause it's going to have some 350 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,920 references to revelation. The point is, is that there's a 351 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,680 court getting set and a lot are going to be in attendance. 352 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,640 It's not going to be a private event. 353 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,440 I said it's not going to be a private event. 354 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,600 So again, these three pastor scriptures let us know as far as 355 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:22,200 this heavenly host, it's innumerable, very difficult. 356 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,320 We would not be able to number it at all. 357 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,120 OK, again, I'm not going to give you every reference. 358 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,360 Hopefully you're already thinking of some different 359 00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:34,000 references yourself as we continue to go. 360 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,240 But I want to talk to you about some host encounter and I'm 361 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,680 talking about the ones that are obedient to God. 362 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,240 These are the ones I'm talking about, OK? 363 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,520 They are spirit beings. They are spirit beings. 364 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,800 And of these spirit beings, OK, they are created spirit beings 365 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,080 by God. And all of them have a look. 366 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,600 In fact, the Bible describes their looks. 367 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,560 OK, now the first thing we think because when we start having 368 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,120 this conversation, we think that, well, everything I'm 369 00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:05,880 saying is an Angel. It is not. 370 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,920 So the first one I want to look at is the first one that shows 371 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,240 up in the Bible, Genesis chapter 3. 372 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,800 In Genesis chapter 3, after the fall of man, when Dominion left, 373 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,800 it says he drove out the man and he placed at the east of the 374 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,200 Garden of Eden. Cherubims, those are not angels, 375 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,400 they're cherubims. They are spirit beings. 376 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,200 They're not angels. They're cherubims. 377 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,760 And we'll see what they look like here in a minute. 378 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,680 They are not angels. They are spirit beings. 379 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,600 They are part of the heavenly host, but they're a different. 380 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,840 I mean, that's like going to the mammals of the earth and saying 381 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,280 everything's the same. They are all spirit beings. 382 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,120 That's true. These are all mammals. 383 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,640 But we call them by different names. 384 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,760 And by the end of the day, we're not saying, you know, that this 385 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,520 particular mammal is, I mean, they consider a dolphin a 386 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,640 mammal, right? Is that true? 387 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,960 Because I'm am I still that changed 'cause, you know, Pluto 388 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,160 and Mercury has changed since I've been in school. 389 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,840 Is it OK? Thank you. 390 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,360 Obviously that is not to be confused with a monkey. 391 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,480 They are both in the species of mammal, but they are two 392 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,960 different created beings. They have different purposes. 393 00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:28,920 So when we say cherubims, don't think, oh, that's an Angel, 394 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,120 that's not an Angel, it's a cherubim or a cherub. 395 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:39,720 Now if you Google search Cherub and look at his images, the 396 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,720 number one thing you're going to see is a fat, naked baby Angel. 397 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:51,040 That is not a cherub. Not at all. 398 00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:57,280 OK, but here we are, the third chapter of the book of the 399 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,320 Beginnings. All right, He drove out the man. 400 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,480 He placed him in the east of the garden of Eden with cherubs and 401 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,400 a flaming sore. So right, if the world was 402 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,840 describing this, a fat, naked baby Angel with a flaming sword 403 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,880 is saying, I dare you, Adam, to come in. 404 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,520 But when we read Ezekiel here, in a minute you're going to be 405 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,960 like, Dare's be like Adam's going to be like, Nah, I'm not 406 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:29,320 going there, OK, This, these sheriffs have a a flaming sword 407 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,920 which turn in every direction to keep the way of the tree of 408 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,120 life. Now again, my intent is not to 409 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:38,160 give you complete descriptions of everything that these do. 410 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,640 We can pick this up a little bit later. 411 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:45,240 But these people are very protective of the the resource 412 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:51,360 of God. Sacred things will not let 413 00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:54,200 things get in. That's not deserving. 414 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,120 Cherubs will not let you. They are there to protect 415 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:05,240 holiness, sacred things, and nothing that is that way can get 416 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,840 through. Ezekiel. 417 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,320 Chapter 10 you turn over there gives a a great description of 418 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,160 these spirit beings that are in the heavenly host. 419 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,040 We're going to jump through a few verses, it says Now The 420 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,160 cherub were standing on the right side of the temple when 421 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,080 the man entered and the cloud filled the inner court. 422 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,520 It says in the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to 423 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,560 Cherub is singular, Cherubim is plural, to the threshold of the 424 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,080 temple. And the temple was filled with a 425 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,120 cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory 426 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,160 of God. Moreover, the sound of the wings 427 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,120 of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the 428 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,480 voice of God almighty when he speaks. 429 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:55,320 So cherubim have wings, they have wings. 430 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,880 OK, verse 14. And each one had four faces. 431 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,880 This is not a fat, naked baby Angel. 432 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,920 They had four faces. The first face was the face of a 433 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,600 cherub, the second face was the face of a man, the third was the 434 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,560 face of an alliant, and the 4th the face of an eagle. 435 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,840 Verse 15 When the cherubim rose up, then all the living beings 436 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,720 that I saw, they are the living beings which I saw by the river 437 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,200 jump down to verse 20. These are the living beings 438 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,400 which I saw beneath the God of Israel by the river. 439 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,520 So I knew that they were cherubim. 440 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,200 Each one had four faces and each 14 wings. 441 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,560 And beneath their wings was the form of human hands. 442 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,440 As for the lightness of their faces, they were the same faces 443 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,080 whose appearance I had seen by the river, each one straight 444 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,640 ahead. So again this class of in the 445 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:56,720 heavenly host called cherubs. OK, they have 4 wings. 446 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,280 Hands like humans, four faces. Are you hearing me? 447 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,760 So there's something different about these. 448 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,760 And then if you go on into 11, there's some things about eyes 449 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,800 and whirling wheels and stuff that go with them again, most of 450 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,080 the time where you're just like, I mean, you know, you just want 451 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,120 to know what this thing looks like one day because it's like 452 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,040 you're trying to grapple in your mind how that looks, right? 453 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,160 And there's a lot of imagery now because of AI that you can dump 454 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,120 in stuff and it creates its own art. 455 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,200 And there's some pretty unique looking things I can't tell you 456 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,200 any of us getting right. But all I'm saying is it's not 457 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,160 the fat, naked baby Angel. And its assignment is to protect 458 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:46,800 these sacred things. So unholy or unrighteous things 459 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,640 do not get through. The minute Adam fell and Eve, 460 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:55,680 they were put out and this spirit being stood in the way to 461 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,720 the tree of life. So here's the thing, is the Tree 462 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:06,800 of life on planet Earth OK? I mean, it is definitely here. 463 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:18,040 Was it not here before? Nowhere does it say it. 464 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,680 It left the planet. Now I'm not saying that it 465 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,840 didn't disappear cause an Angel can be in this room right now 466 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,080 and is and we don't see it 'cause we're not tapped in nor 467 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,640 has it revealed itself, has it? Has God allowed us to open up 468 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,720 and see it? Nor 'cause it can happen that 469 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,760 way. God can open up us to see them 470 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,040 without their revealing. This is what Elijah did with his 471 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,880 servant when the armies came surrounded the city goes, 472 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,840 master, we got a whole army out here. 473 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,320 What we going to do? He said don't worry about it. 474 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,760 There are more for us than there are with them. 475 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,840 Obviously he didn't understand that statement. 476 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,440 He said, So he prays, Lord open his eyes so that he can see what 477 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,400 I see. And his eyes were they didn't 478 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,600 reveal themselves. God allowed him to see what 479 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:13,600 existed in this realm that was already present all the way 480 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,480 wrapped around the city. They were there the whole well, 481 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,880 definitely when the army showed up, I ain't going to say the 482 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,720 whole time they could have said, oh, that natural army is going 483 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,720 go on down. You going to protect my man? 484 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,920 Or maybe Elisha got by the spirit The army's coming. 485 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,560 You're going to need to be protected. 486 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,640 He began to call on some messengers. 487 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:48,640 All right. OK, So let's look at the next 488 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,080 heavenly host that's mentioned in the Bible. 489 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,400 It's called a seraphim. A seraphim in Isaiah, Chapter 6, 490 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,360 verses one through 7. Y'all doing all right, 'cause 491 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,520 again, we're talking about spiritual things. 492 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,480 And and I understand the the habit of the church today is to 493 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,040 give you practical things for living, right? 494 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,920 I just really need, pastor to give me some practical things 495 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,400 for living. You know how I can, you know, 496 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,680 get a promotion and how I can raise my kids well, and how I 497 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,360 can make my marriage, You know, that is so temporal. 498 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,960 Do you need it? Yes. 499 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,240 But what we're preaching now has major practical implications. 500 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,400 OK, so you're going to have to grow in so as in the year of 501 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,320 King Uzziah, he said. Death. 502 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,320 I saw the Lord sitting on the throne, lofty and exalted, with 503 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,280 the train of his robe filling the temple. 504 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,560 See, God opened up Isaiah's eyes so he could see where he was. 505 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,480 Then it said this verse. 2 Seraphim stood above him, each 506 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:05,240 having, what, 6 wings? With two he covered his face, 507 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:11,440 with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew, and one 508 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,679 called out to another, saying, Holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. 509 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:22,600 The whole earth is full of his glory, and the foundations of 510 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,320 the threshold trembled at the voice of him who called out 511 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,440 while the temple was filling with smoke. 512 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:33,760 Then I said, woe is me, for I am ruined because I'm a man of 513 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:39,679 unclean lips. We got a problem, and I live 514 00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:43,040 among people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, 515 00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:44,760 the Lord of Foes. What? 516 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,480 Who? Who is God the Father? 517 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,280 He's what? He's the King. 518 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,880 He's the Most High, He's the reigning spirit, he said. 519 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:56,400 My eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts. 520 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,640 All right, so then he goes on and says, Then one of the 521 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,880 seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which 522 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,560 he had taken from the altar with tongs. 523 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,240 He touched my mouth with and said, behold, this has touched 524 00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:13,760 your lips, your iniquity is taken away and your sins 525 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,480 forgiven. I don't have time to talk about 526 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:24,800 that, but that's pretty amazing. So here this is the only account 527 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,680 that is is is spoken of of them in the title Seraphim. 528 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:36,640 OK, they have 6 wings and they're over God and they're 529 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,400 saying things like holy, holy, holy is the Lord. 530 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,680 Come on, they're they're champ. They're they're decreeing who 531 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,320 the king is. This is what they're doing. 532 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,200 They are not angels. They are spirit beings. 533 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,880 With this assignment, are you hearing me? 534 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:06,160 Hallelujah. OK, so let's go into the ones 535 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,840 that we are most familiar with because we say, think that 536 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:15,160 everyone is this, but there's more contact with this realm of 537 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,400 heavenly host is called angels, All right? 538 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,040 It's called angels. The other two there is not. 539 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:31,960 There is less human contact with cherubims and seraphims, but 540 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,960 angels there is. You could almost. 541 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,440 It could be pretty constant. And I don't think I would be 542 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,920 stretching by saying that 'cause there's 8 billion people on the 543 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:52,960 planet and and we'll show in that there is contact with 544 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:58,600 angels in the new covenant. In the new Covenant. 545 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,360 OK, first one we're gonna look at is John chapter 5, verse 4. 546 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,360 John chapter 5 verse four says then an Angel of the Lord went 547 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,360 down at certain seasons in the pool. 548 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,400 Now that's obviously before the new covenant has totally done. 549 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,000 I'm just showing you some actions that they do and stirred 550 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,520 up the waters. Whoever then first, after the 551 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,160 stirring up of the water stepped in, was made well from whatever 552 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,720 disease with which he was afflicted. 553 00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:30,760 Now we know this full of Bethesda because ultimately 554 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,760 Jesus went down there to heal a particular man who said I can't 555 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,600 get anyone to get me in when the Angel stirs it. 556 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,240 But there's an Angel that's been sent by God to deliver, Listen, 557 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,880 the message of healing. He doesn't speak it, but it 558 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,240 produces through actions of him touching the water. 559 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,640 The water moving is the message. God's the healer and the first 560 00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:04,520 one in gets it. Luke 2244 This is Jesus and 561 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,280 being in agony. Agony. 562 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,040 This is when he was in the garden being in agony. 563 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,640 He was praying very fervently and his sweat became like drops 564 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,560 of blood falling down from the ground. 565 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,760 I didn't bring the rest of it. What's the next verse? 566 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:32,360 Hit 45. Is it 43? 567 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,760 One of those verses? I must have picked the wrong 568 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,640 one. The 43 put 40. 569 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,600 Throw 43 up there. And after there appeared an 570 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,160 Angel unto him from heaven. What strengthening him? 571 00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:52,600 So Jesus in the garden had an Angel show up. 572 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:58,240 Now, there's no indication that the three he took to pray with 573 00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:04,280 them saw it. Which means when Jesus in this 574 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,920 last moment, 'cause you understand, Number one, we know 575 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,160 they probably didn't see, 'cause he could have been physically 576 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,240 present, but they're sleeping anyway, 'cause they kept 577 00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:14,000 sleeping. I'm not saying he didn't 578 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,720 physically show up. If they were awake, they would 579 00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:17,200 have saw him. I'm just saying. 580 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,920 It doesn't say. However, it could have been that 581 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,760 Jesus is off and he's being ministered to by this Angel that 582 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,040 he sees, but they wouldn't see even if they were looking. 583 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,320 Because again, an Angel can manifest to one person and not 584 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:40,600 to another, especially if it's coming from the perspective your 585 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,840 eyes are being opened, not it revealing itself in the natural 586 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,320 realm it's in. Are you hearing what I'm saying? 587 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,000 So again, that's why it can be accurate. 588 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,120 If someone says, I saw an Angel and you're like, well, I didn't 589 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,040 see it, well, that means then God would have opened their 590 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,680 eyes, which is the gifts of the spirit distinguishing of 591 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,160 spirits, which means you have the ability to see into the 592 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,360 spirit realm, which again we say see into the spirit realm. 593 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,680 We're just saying you get turned on that within this realm. 594 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,640 The spirit's here and you see it. 595 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,200 You understand what I'm saying? It's not like you're pulling a 596 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,440 curtain back like you're moving into another dimension. 597 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:23,640 As much as it is you're seeing now, again, I've had people in 598 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,000 in this church tell me that they've seen angels in this 599 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,080 corner here, whatever, and they may have, and that's great. 600 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,920 Again, seeing it doesn't change. It doesn't grow you up 601 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,200 spiritually, doesn't make you more spiritual, doesn't make 602 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,240 you, you know, a super giant doesn't let you, doesn't cause 603 00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:42,160 you now to always overcome any issue you have 'cause you saw 604 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,520 one that doesn't do it. Faith does that. 605 00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:49,000 Living the word of God does that, OK, You can see angels all 606 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,200 day long and die in your sin and go to hell. 607 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:59,960 OK, so the ability to see spirit doesn't make you mature. 608 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,880 Or? Or we should follow you. 609 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:11,200 We should follow you, 'cause you can see it well, Jesus made it 610 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,680 very clear. It's more blessed to believe 611 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,040 'cause you don't see, so what's he saying? 612 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:21,240 He says Faith is believing what you don't see, The powers in 613 00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:25,640 those who can believe the word, not believe, 'cause they see. 614 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,320 Yet we want to flock after people who claim to see angels 615 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,160 in all this realm all the time. Like they're so super spiritual 616 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,560 and we need to sit at their feet and learn. 617 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,400 Which shows the immaturity of the person listening to the 618 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,840 person who's saying they see angels all the time. 619 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:52,360 Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. 620 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,640 It is good teaching. This is not the church for 621 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,240 wackos. This is the church where we're 622 00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:07,760 grounded in the word, right? And we understand the 623 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,760 perspective. If Andrew said pastor, I saw an 624 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,840 Angel, I'd be like, praise God, man, what'd it look like? 625 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,680 And he would tell me and his description would let me know a 626 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,600 lot. And then I'm like, that's great. 627 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,920 What'd he tell you or what did you see or whatever? 628 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,080 At the end of the day, if he said something to you directly, 629 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,720 But I mean, you see, right now, CNN Angel's really not a big 630 00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:34,160 deal. I'm gonna say it again. 631 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:42,800 It's really not a big deal, but we make it a big deal, right? 632 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,960 We're making it a big deal. And people who make it a big 633 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,760 deal are deceived. And guess who's showing up as an 634 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,000 Angel of light? Satan. 635 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,720 All right, so that was Luke 2243. 636 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,560 Thank you for that correction. Acts 519. 637 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,840 But during the night, an Angel of the Lord opened the gates of 638 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:13,280 the prison and taking them out, he said. 639 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,240 Now this is obviously with Peter taking him out. 640 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:22,840 An Angel shows up. Now, is Peter full of the Holy 641 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,760 Ghost? This is Acts 5. 642 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,200 This is not Acts one. This is Acts 5. 643 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,920 This is after Peter's been baptized in the Holy Ghost. 644 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,600 Whatever's Speaking of tongues, this is where he's full of. 645 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,640 He's healed the man at the gate. Beautiful. 646 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,440 The power of God. He knows the Holy Ghost, yet the 647 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,960 Holy Ghost does not get him out of prison. 648 00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:51,640 The Angel does. Sent my God the Holy Ghost a 649 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,560 praise. Didn't shake it. 650 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,960 Are you hearing me? So in this particular case with 651 00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:03,520 Peter, the Lord said go down and get him out. 652 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,120 And he had to kick Peter. Peter had a sleeping problem, 653 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,800 you understand? Get up. 654 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,560 We got to go. This is not a dream. 655 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,600 This is not a dream, bro. We've got to go. 656 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,520 And then the whole time he's walking in and he thinks he's 657 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,760 dreaming, still in stocks, only to realize later on. 658 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,400 And now the angel's pretty powerful 'cause he's opening 659 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:38,400 doors without touching him, but he's opening doors. 660 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:44,440 OK, look at Luke one. This is what one of this is, a 661 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,480 famous Angel because we get a name. 662 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:53,040 So then then Luke 119 says this. The Angel answered and said to 663 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,560 him, I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. 664 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:01,880 And I have been what sent to speak to you and to bring you 665 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:07,360 this good news. Now here's the power of this 666 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,720 particular Angel. He's talking to John, the 667 00:45:09,720 --> 00:45:13,880 Baptist's father, right. And he says to him, you got your 668 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:14,800 your wife's going to have a baby. 669 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,160 You're going to call him John. And he's like, how's this even 670 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:19,640 possible? He. 671 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,720 And and basically he said, because you didn't believe my 672 00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:23,960 words, which they're not my words, they're the King's word. 673 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,760 I was sent. Since you didn't believe his 674 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,320 words, you're not going to be able to talk now. 675 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:33,880 So he had the power to mute the man during the whole pregnancy 676 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:43,080 of his wife. Then you get to verse 26. 677 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,640 He comes again to deliver another message to the cousin, 678 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:50,840 Mary says Now in the sixth month, that's of Martha with 679 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,600 John the Baptist. The Angel Gabriel was sent from 680 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,960 God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth. 681 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,120 And he talks to Mary. Mary says, be it unto me as is 682 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:06,040 spoken. She was smart, right? 683 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,520 She was a wise woman. Amen. 684 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,280 So both of them saw Gabriel. He is an Angel and he brought 685 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,960 messages, but we know that he has come around even in the old 686 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,880 covenant. Now let's go over to Daniel 687 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,040 cause Daniel's had quite a few Angel sightings. 688 00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:25,280 I want us to look at this and then we get the names of the two 689 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:30,840 that we know of specifically that are serving God today, and 690 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:35,200 that is Gabriel. We know him because we've been 691 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,720 given his name and we know another one called Michael, 692 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:39,600 right? We know him. 693 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:44,000 An Archangel, OK, still an Angel, but of a higher class. 694 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:50,560 Cause again, the spirit beings are in a Kingdom, there is a 695 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,160 hierarchy, there is a rank and structure. 696 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:05,880 OK, Daniel 6/22, he said, My God sent his Angel and shut the 697 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:10,080 lion's mouth and they have not harmed me insomuch as I was 698 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,480 found innocent before him and also towards you old king. 699 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,360 I have committed no crime. This is Daniel being thrown into 700 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,560 the lions den because you know, his adversaries within the 701 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,680 political party wanted to have him destroyed because he was. 702 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,720 He was full of wisdom. He was better than them. 703 00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:30,480 They were jealous of him. They could never see him do 704 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,920 anything wrong. They had no blackmail on him. 705 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,720 So as a result of that they had to create a law that he would 706 00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:43,240 defy which is praying to to only the the God of the the natural 707 00:47:43,240 --> 00:47:45,280 Kingdom. And they know he would violate 708 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,960 that. He is going to pray to his God, 709 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,720 of which he did, and based upon that, the king had to order him 710 00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:54,320 thrown into the lion's den because he cannot revoke his own 711 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,680 word. But an Angel came down and held 712 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:03,160 the mouth of the lion. Now that's important, which 713 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:09,680 tells us the lion wanted to eat Daniel, and if it wasn't there, 714 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:15,920 it would have. This is why when the others get 715 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,440 thrown in the next day, they can't even hit the ground before 716 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,840 they're eaten, because they're even. 717 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:26,000 They're another 24 hours hungry, they're already starving and now 718 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:32,320 they got to smell flesh sleep on them all night and they can't 719 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:37,160 open their mouth and there's no indication they know why. 720 00:48:39,240 --> 00:48:41,560 Didn't say it shut their nostrils, it said it shut their 721 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,080 mouth. So they got to smell him all 722 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:48,960 night. That's like BBQ ribs just 723 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:53,680 cooking all day. And you're like, especially from 724 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,600 captains down by where I live. Jeez. 725 00:48:57,720 --> 00:49:03,160 All right. Now notice there's no name given 726 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:07,000 to this Angel. So this is not Gabriel. 727 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,680 It's just another Angel in Daniel Chapter 9 though verse 728 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,640 20. It says now while I was speaking 729 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,720 and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people, 730 00:49:17,720 --> 00:49:21,120 Israel presenting my supplication for the Lord my God 731 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,600 in behalf of the holy mountain of my God while I was still 732 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,960 speaking in my prayer. Then the man Gabriel whom I had 733 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,840 seen in the vision previously. So this is not his first 734 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:37,040 encounter with Gabriel. He's had an encounter with him 735 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,120 in the previous chapter, but it was in a vision. 736 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:47,320 Here this man, Gabriel says, came to me in my extreme weak 737 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,200 weariness. About the time of the evening 738 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:54,000 offering, he gave me what instructions and talked with me 739 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:59,400 and said, old Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight 740 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,920 with understanding. At the beginning of your 741 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,280 supplication the command was issued and I have come to tell 742 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:10,560 you for you are highly esteemed. So give heed to the message and 743 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,640 gain understanding of the vision. 744 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,120 He is highly esteemed. Guess where Daniel's highly 745 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,840 esteemed at? In the spirit realm. 746 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,080 Now This is why we need to talk about angels. 747 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,040 You know what? It's kind of pathetic is that 748 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,280 Christians only want to be esteemed in the natural realm, 749 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,200 and we're seeing, especially in the United States, superstar 750 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:42,000 Christianity. They will almost sell out 751 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:52,080 anything to become superstars, to be esteemed among the natural 752 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:57,920 Christian community. Hey, you didn't care about that. 753 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,720 All he cared about was God, God's intentions, God's nation. 754 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,200 You know, here he is crying out for his nation. 755 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,920 Because, you know, I I don't care what I'm. 756 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,880 I'm just concerned about. I'm a slave by all rights 757 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,640 people. I mean, I may be in power, but 758 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,480 I'm still a slave to this nation. 759 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,440 And my nation was way better than this when it was in power 760 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,320 following God. And it's crying out. 761 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,760 He's crying out. And this Angel says, you are 762 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,400 highly esteemed from where I came from. 763 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,120 Oh boy, if we would aspire to have that to become highly 764 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:38,440 esteemed where angels are talking about you. 765 00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:44,640 I mean, is there conversations in the throne room about you? 766 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,000 That's something to think about, 'cause again. 767 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,120 We're only trying to attain to a level, 'cause we're natural. 768 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,400 Instead of understanding everything we're doing now that 769 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,680 we're in Christ, our eternal choices. 770 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,840 Always. You're living right now, beyond 771 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:10,160 this lifetime. OK, so he came to give him 772 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,600 instruction now. Daniel, Chapter 10. 773 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,360 All right, I'm going to read Daniel, chapter 10. 774 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,880 But then I want to show you something that you've probably 775 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,880 not recognized before. Maybe. 776 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,000 Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. 777 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:26,680 Daniel. Chapter 10. 778 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,280 Starting in verse 10, it says Then behold, a hand touched me 779 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,600 and set me trembling on my hands and knees. 780 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,800 And he said, Oh, Daniel, man of high esteem, understand the 781 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:42,200 words that I'm about to tell you and stand upright, for I have 782 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:46,840 now been sent to you. And when he had spoken this word 783 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,560 to me, I stood up trembling. Then he said, do not be afraid, 784 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,440 Daniel. For from the first day that you 785 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,520 set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself 786 00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:00,120 before our God, your words before who's God? 787 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,840 Our God, Your God. Right before your God, your 788 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,520 words were healed. And I have come in response to 789 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,200 your words. But the Prince of the Kingdom of 790 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,960 Persia was withstanding me for 21 days. 791 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:23,240 Who is this? It doesn't say, but it's an 792 00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:28,120 Angel. It was stood me for 21 days. 793 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:33,760 Then behold Michael, one of the chief Princess came to help me, 794 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:38,240 for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. 795 00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:41,560 Now I have come to to give you an understanding of what will 796 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,040 happen to your people in the latter days. 797 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,720 For the vision pertains to the days yet future. 798 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,440 This is not Gabriel. This another Angel that's 799 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,280 coming. But he has a challenge Now 800 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:58,080 notice. If you notice in Daniel chapter 801 00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:02,760 6, he's thrown into the lion's den. 802 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:08,360 How fast does an Angel need to get in the lion's den in order 803 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,120 to hold its mouth? The minute Daniel gets thrown in 804 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,760 immediately, right, he's got to beat Daniel to the bottom. 805 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,280 And did he? No problem. 806 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,960 He was there. Daniel nine. 807 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,360 He starts to pray. And by that evening, an Angel 808 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,120 shows up and says the minute you made the request, I was 809 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:36,160 dispatched, here I am. And it's in a 24 hour period. 810 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:41,360 I mean it's in 1/2 a day, But now in the 10th chapter, it's 811 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:46,000 taking 21 days. Why? 812 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:53,520 Because it has gotten into the heavenly host demonic realm that 813 00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:58,200 God's been sending. Oh y'all, don't want to hear 814 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:04,040 this. They have been not hindered for 815 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,640 the first two physical encounters. 816 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,520 The chapter 8 is a vision, so there's no indication that they 817 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,080 were personally present. He just saw into where it was 818 00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:17,640 and had a conversation. But the other two? 819 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,080 They had to be there. If the Angel physically held the 820 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:26,560 lion's mouth. The other time he shows up, he 821 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,760 sees the man Gabriel. And let me say this, he sees the 822 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,840 what man Gabriel. We have two names mentioned of 823 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,440 angels, Gabriel and Michael. There's never been a female 824 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:44,880 name. Do not be upset, women, angels 825 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,840 aren't into male or female. That's humans. 826 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:54,440 But angels are always associated as a man, or looks like a man. 827 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,760 And notice Gabriel identified him as a You know, it'd be kind 828 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,280 of hard to identify him as a man if he had wings. 829 00:56:11,450 --> 00:56:17,130 In Scripture, when angels are identifying themselves, they do 830 00:56:17,130 --> 00:56:22,210 not have wings. So there's no indication that 831 00:56:22,210 --> 00:56:25,050 angels actually have wings at all. 832 00:56:27,890 --> 00:56:29,810 Why do we think they have to have them? 833 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,280 Because everybody paints the pictures. 834 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:39,360 However, the Bible describes two classes of species that do have 835 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,680 wings, but angels are not one of them. 836 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,120 Well, then how do they fly? Same way Superman does. 837 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:52,480 We don't have a problem with that. 838 00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,720 And we don't have a problem if he takes his Cape off. 839 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:04,080 Are you hearing me? But they look like a human. 840 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:09,560 They are human when they reveal themselves in appearance, is 841 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:14,560 what I'm saying. So it takes 21 days. 842 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:18,040 So something has occurred in this realm now that all of a 843 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:22,720 sudden the other heavenly hosts are saying we are going to stop 844 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:31,040 them from bringing messages. Now aren't you glad you have the 845 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:37,760 Holy Ghost today? Because there's never been a 846 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:42,120 demon, devil, or Satan himself that can stop the communication 847 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,160 you have with the Holy Ghost that lives in you. 848 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,240 You're in a whole nother ball game in this dispensation. 849 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:55,360 But in the Old Covenant there were messages multiple times 850 00:57:55,360 --> 00:58:03,160 sent through angels. It was God's realm contacting 851 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:04,520 the human realm. Now look at this. 852 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:09,360 In Hebrews 13, we're closing, says this Hebrews 13 two. 853 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:10,760 That's why I say angels aren't a big deal. 854 00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:19,880 Do not be forgetful to entertain who strangers, for thereby some 855 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:30,920 have what angels unawares. Can you confidently tell me 856 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:32,680 right now you've never seen an Angel? 857 00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,840 So the reality is everyone in this room may have seen one and 858 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,560 interacted with one and spoke with one, and you don't even 859 00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:54,640 know it. So when someone comes and says, 860 00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,240 well, I saw this Angel, he was in the sanctuary and he was 10 861 00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,240 foot tall and I saw him stand here or, you know, I was in the 862 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,840 spirit and I saw these angels. You're like, that's OK. 863 00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:08,640 I'm sure I've seen some too. Well, how do you know? 864 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:10,800 Because I've entertained some strangers. 865 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,400 I have slap entertained some strangers. 866 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,320 Are you hearing me? You don't know. 867 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:29,400 Now you could become aware that that encounter was more than 868 00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:37,720 just a human encounter, right? You could see them and how they 869 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:42,880 look in the Spirit because the Bible describes them bright, 870 00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,160 shiny. I mean, obviously the heavenly 871 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,760 host, they still look like man, but yet they had a bright 872 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,200 shining about them. You could see them in that whole 873 00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,160 context. Obviously the Bible describes 874 00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,960 some of that context. You can see them in their 875 00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:00,920 setting, but at the end of the day, they're going to have some 876 01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,640 kind of a human form. They're going to look like men. 877 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:11,480 And they're here to bring a message. 878 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:20,680 But they can assemble, I said. They can assemble and fight. 879 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,440 What did Jesus say to Peter when he cuts off the high Priest's 880 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:26,360 servant's ear? He said. 881 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,880 Don't you know, I could call a legion of right now. 882 01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,520 They would assemble. I mean you think what was 883 01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:39,120 encamped around Elijah that day got nothing on what I could 884 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:45,000 bring to the earth at a word because angels or messengers do 885 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,800 the bidding of the king. So let me close with these three 886 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,160 verses. Very important Colossians, 887 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,480 chapter 2, verse 18. As we close, let no one keep 888 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:59,760 defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self abasement and 889 01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:05,880 the here it is worship of angels taking his stand on visions he 890 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,680 has seen inflated without cause by his fleshly mind. 891 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,440 Lot of teaching like that's going on right now in the earth. 892 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:18,600 I'm telling you the world has a lust for the supernatural and 893 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,800 even Christians have a lust for the supernatural and they are 894 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:26,520 falling prey to people who are saying they're seeing things. 895 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:33,040 I talk to my Angel all the time. What? 896 01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:34,920 I don't care if you talk to your Angel all the time. 897 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:36,960 Whatever. I mean, as long as you're 898 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,120 telling it what to do and you're not sitting around waiting for 899 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:46,400 it to tell you something. Can it tell you something? 900 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,080 Yes. But it won't violate the Holy 901 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:53,520 Ghost in you. Are you hearing me? 902 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:59,920 Revelations 1910 says this says. Then I fell at his feet to 903 01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:04,000 worship him. This is John, he said. 904 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,800 But he said to me, do not do that. 905 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:11,880 I am a fellow servant of who? Of yours and your brethren who 906 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,320 hold the testimony of Jesus. Did you see that? 907 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:20,680 This is the Angel that is taking him around and giving him in the 908 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:25,680 Spirit the revelation of Jesus. I mean the in stuff that hadn't 909 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,800 even happened yet. People, things that we're 910 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,960 waiting on to transpire. This Angel has carried him 911 01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:36,640 through into into the future, letting him say he's gone. 912 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,400 John in this one has gone all the way into the eternities of 913 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,480 eternity. He has seen the new heaven and 914 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,720 the new earth. He has seen the eternal Kingdom 915 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:51,360 forever. And he bows down to this Angel 916 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:55,000 and he says, don't do that. I'm a fellow servant of yours, 917 01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,640 John. You're a king. 918 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:02,280 You're a king of the king and your brethren who hold the 919 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,360 testimony of Jesus. All who call in the name of 920 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,280 Jesus shall be saved. They become in Christ. 921 01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:15,680 They are little kings. He says worship God 'cause he's 922 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:19,040 the most high. He's the reigning spirit, for 923 01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,520 the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 924 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,400 Then look at Revelations 22, last chapter of the book, 925 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:28,600 actually Revelation 22. Again John gets caught up. 8-9 926 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,360 He said, I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. 927 01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,600 And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship at the feet of 928 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:38,000 the Angel, and he showed who showed me these things. 929 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:42,000 Verse 9 But he said to me, do not do that. 930 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,720 I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren. 931 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:51,720 The prophets and of those who heed the words of this book 932 01:03:51,920 --> 01:04:04,440 worship God, worship God. So it's obvious that God wants 933 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:09,160 us as a church who's been taking time to minister about His 934 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:18,720 Kingdom since 2009 to understand this species of spirit beings so 935 01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:24,760 that we can accelerate the work that needs to be done before the 936 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:30,680 end 'cause they are integral part of what will take place. 937 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:35,400 We need their help to accomplish the assignment. 938 01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,880 So we have to understand how they function in God's Kingdom 939 01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,160 and we get to function with them. 940 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:53,200 Now we have limited our effectiveness as believers to 941 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,400 our prayer life and our faith life. 942 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:12,920 We need to tap our messengers because they're here to do some 943 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,880 things. Are you hearing me? 944 01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:22,040 We are not here to worship them. We're here only to worship God 945 01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:28,920 because when it's all said and done, we will actually judge 946 01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,360 them. Let's pray.
