1 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,040 If you have your Bible, turn over to Matthew chapter 4, 2 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,720 Matthew chapter 4. You know, a couple Sundays ago 3 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,840 when I ministered on the, the bread, right, Kingdom life and 4 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,080 Pastor Marcy last week ministered and I'm going to 5 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:28,120 cover a couple things that she said last week. 6 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,320 But that Sunday in my mind, I, we, we have a ministry 7 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,680 coordinating meeting that we do the second Sunday of every 8 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,320 month. So in my mind, I was thinking 9 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,280 about that meeting, although we did not have it in December, 10 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,480 because we did a vision casting later that week. 11 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,040 So there was this concept concerning the bread that I was 12 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,320 planning on just bringing to the ministry coordinators and, but 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,640 obviously we didn't have that meeting. 14 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,200 So, you know, it's one of those notes that I put in my notes. 15 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,720 See, when I get things by the Spirit, sometimes, you know, 16 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:07,320 they can come out that day, or sometimes I just marinate, 17 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,000 meditate. We'll talk about that word here 18 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,560 in a minute on those particular things. 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,640 And then every once in a while, you know, when you're just kind 20 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,720 of going through, Laura, what do you want me to preach? 21 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,760 I'll start going through some notes of things that I have. 22 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,040 And then some things just pop up. 23 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,280 You know, I mean, the Holy Ghost says you need to go there. 24 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,640 And so, you know, I was doing that today saying, OK, Laura, 25 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,680 what do you want me to do to set up maybe next week, you know, 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,120 just talking to him. I'd went out and prayed for a 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,840 couple hours in the Spirit and came back and put myself in a 28 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,440 position to hear. And then this popped up and I 29 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,000 like, you know, I'm going to go there. 30 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,480 So tonight's message is the crumbs, the crumbs. 31 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,640 All right, Matthew 44 says this, but he answered and said it is 32 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,280 written, man shall what not live on bread alone, but on every 33 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,920 word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,800 All right, few things here. Obviously in this passage of 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,040 Scripture number one, man should not live solely based upon 36 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,680 natural means. Man is going to have natural 37 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,200 means that he needs to live on. That's why it says man shall not 38 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,840 live on bread alone. You cannot become so spiritual 39 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,080 that you you bypass physical. We are in a natural body, a 40 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,040 physical body that needs physical things. 41 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,280 God designed us that way, OK? And so he, you're not going to 42 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,040 get so spiritual that you would never have to eat natural food 43 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,560 again. He would sustain you by the 44 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,720 Spirit. It's not going to happen. 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,640 It's not going to happen. OK. 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,400 So we just need to understand that there are natural things we 47 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,360 are going to have to do in the earth, but we are not to let 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,960 that be our sole thing that we pursue, OK. 49 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,480 So man should not live on bread alone, but on every word that 50 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,320 proceeds out of the mouth of God. 51 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,280 So the number one priority for us in in living on the earth is 52 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,640 to hear from God is to hear from God. 53 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,640 OK, Now we ultimately know that there's a type and shadow here 54 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,040 and Deuteronomy chapter 8, verse one through 3, there was a 55 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,960 reference here of Moses speaking to the Israelites and he said 56 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,680 all the commandments that I'm commanding you today. 57 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,440 This is the Lord speaking obviously through Moses, saying 58 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,920 all the commandments that I'm commanding you today you shall 59 00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:34,840 be careful to do, and that you may live and multiply and go in 60 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,240 and possess the land which the Lord swore to give to your 61 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,080 forefathers. You shall remember all the way 62 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,200 which the Lord your God has LED you in the wilderness these 40 63 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,880 years, that He might humble you, testing you to know what was in 64 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,560 your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. 65 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,840 And let me just stop for a second. 66 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,080 No, we know that God never intended for them to be in the 67 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,960 wilderness for 40 years, OK? And the only reason they're in 68 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,800 the wilderness for 40 years is because they did not do his word 69 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,200 to go on in and possess. They went in to spy out to 70 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,399 determine how we would do it. Not a problem until you decide 71 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,600 God will not do what he says. And that's what they did. 72 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,080 10/12/12 tribe leaders went in, 10 came back saying there's no 73 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,600 way we're going to be able to take this land. 74 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,200 It's not going to happen, cannot happen. 75 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,520 There are giants in the land. We are grasshoppers. 76 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,240 They see us that way. We know we're this way. 77 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,200 There's no way we can conquer Caleb and Joshua on another hand 78 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,680 says we're well able. We can take it. 79 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,360 There's no issue. They have the spirit of faith 80 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,760 right? They're like God said it. 81 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,880 We can do it and you understand what he did to Egypt. 82 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,360 We already have a trial run with his power. 83 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,280 We know what he can do to overturn nations. 84 00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:56,000 There's a really not a problem. You need to quiet down. 85 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,200 We need to rally the troops and let's go on in but the 10 86 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,480 stirred up the whole congregation. 87 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,040 One translation says the nation of Israel and they bait they 88 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,560 rebelled. They said we we can't do it. 89 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:12,040 So the Lord is like, OK, then for the 40 days that you spied 90 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,200 out the land, that's how many years you're going to stay out 91 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,480 here in the wilderness? But he's staying out as they're 92 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,520 out there. He's still training. 93 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,320 Still training. Unfortunately those who died 94 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,240 never learned the lesson that is verse three. 95 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,320 He humbled you and let you be hungry and fed you with manna, 96 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440 which you did not know nor did your father's know that he might 97 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,120 what make you understand that man does not live on bread 98 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,120 alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of 99 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,400 the mouth of the mouth of the Lord. 100 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,360 Now that test was pretty quick, right, because he's like, OK, 101 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,120 you're going to they were hungry. 102 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,040 Said we're going to give you some manna be like, what is 103 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,160 that? And so that morning he said, now 104 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,840 listen, God's going to provide bread for you. 105 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,320 Food man is what it was called, OK, and we're going to provide 106 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,080 that for you. And each day you are to pick up 107 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,680 enough to take care of your family. 108 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,040 That's the instruction. So you get enough to take care 109 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,120 of your family, don't get too much, don't get too less, get 110 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,360 enough to feed your family. And you're going to do this 111 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,640 every day until you get to the 6th day of the week. 112 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,400 And on the 6th day of the week, you get to double up. 113 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,880 OK, you're going to be at a double up because on the Sabbath 114 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,040 we're going to let you rest. You don't have to go out and get 115 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,720 food. You're going to have enough for 116 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,760 the two days so that you can rest and remember what I've done 117 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,560 because I want to keep you and remember. 118 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,560 So what I'm doing, if you're following me, follow my voice. 119 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,240 I am a God who does His Word. Well, what happened very first 120 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,400 day? They pick up more and he said 121 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,640 you when you pick it up, eat it all. 122 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,680 Don't leave any overnight, right? 123 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,760 He's giving them instruction what to do. 124 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,040 But they're like, I don't feel like eating it all. 125 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,680 I'm not going to. I'll just save that for 126 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,120 tomorrow. Sounds like. 127 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,240 What's the big deal? There's always a big deal when 128 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,080 you do not do God's Word. It's a big deal. 129 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,240 Now you understand, in our dispensation today, we kind of 130 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,480 still treat it like, you know, it's not a big deal not to obey 131 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,960 God. Well, we're undergrad. 132 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,160 It's not a big deal. It's a big deal. 133 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,960 There's never not, it's never not a big deal. 134 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,560 It is a big deal. OK, Now, when I said that I was 135 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:31,840 a double negative, never. Not So it's never OK for you to 136 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,840 disobey God's word. You hear what I'm saying? 137 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,240 So what we what we want to do is we want to obey God and it's 138 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:48,080 always in because his words life so obviously they kept some over 139 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,840 and it stonked. So everyone knows. 140 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,160 Listen, when you don't obey God, it stinks prettiest. 141 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,880 Now, unfortunately, not everyone know, but God knows. 142 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,240 It never goes without God not noticing. 143 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,520 And he's merciful. He'll forgive you. 144 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,440 No issue there. You understand. 145 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,440 I don't want you to feel condemned, but I also equally 146 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,160 don't want you to be, you know, lazy in obedience. 147 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,840 We don't want to create. A culture of Saints that's like, 148 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,000 well, that's really not a big deal it. 149 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,600 Is a big deal. And then good news is God will 150 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,560 forgive you if you disobey. He's merciful, he's 151 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,200 compassionate, he's kind. But just because he's that way 152 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,520 doesn't mean I should treat him basically with contempt, so to 153 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,039 speak. And say, you know, what if I do 154 00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:38,720 your word or not? As you know, like, you know, the 155 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,000 old, the first Pirates of the Caribbean. 156 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,240 Movie, you know, with the code, right, that means you saw 157 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,400 Pirates of the Caribbean, right? And he said, well, it's more 158 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,000 like I said, a guidelines. And what we do is we're treating 159 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,800 God's word, who is the king and the ruler of all as really a set 160 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,040 of guidelines. Well, the man, there are 161 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,760 guidelines. Then you're making yourself king 162 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,560 over the king. So every time again, if we're 163 00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:11,360 doing this analogy, you know which again, I didn't say it, 164 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,760 the Lord says it. Man shall not live on bread 165 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,880 alone, but of every word that proceeds out of my out of the 166 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,840 mouth of God and he says I tested you in the wilderness to 167 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,720 determine your heart to determine do you have are you 168 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,200 willing? Will you fully submit? 169 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,840 Because again. If they had. 170 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,280 Taken enough mana, eaten it and left nothing over. 171 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,440 Then the next day they would have gotten more food and there 172 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,960 was multiple ways they were getting really creative on how 173 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,040 to make mana. And so they do this for six days 174 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,000 and then on 6 day they double up and so they have enough for the 175 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,640 next day of which then they leave no leftovers when they get 176 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,600 into the first of the week because we're now back to the 177 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,480 same pattern or just enough for the day. 178 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,440 And what we're doing is we're learning that God's word works. 179 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:03,080 And anytime we deviated from that stench, right? 180 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,320 And so I mean, we're really, we could always say, you know, when 181 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,200 we find ourselves in a place that we knew God told us to do 182 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,280 something, we didn't do it. We're like, man, I kind of put 183 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,080 myself in a place where it stinks right now, you know, and 184 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,920 it's kind of self-inflicted because, again, God. 185 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,760 Didn't. God doesn't want your mana to 186 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:31,040 stink or be unproductive or to rot and have worms, right? 187 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,360 So as Pastor Marcy said last week, give us this day Our Daily 188 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,040 Bread. You know, so obviously in the 189 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,560 the bread we, we saw that the Lord is the bread of life, which 190 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:49,120 is his word. And we need to seek after that 191 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,480 bread. We need to seek after his word 192 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,920 be submitted it. And then Pastor Marcy brought 193 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,880 into the context then how do we eat that bread, right? 194 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,920 Last week was, you know, 1 bottle of time. 195 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,400 How do you personally eat the bread of life? 196 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,280 Well, number one, you have to or she said you need to meditate. 197 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,560 Joshua tells us that you're going to meditate on it day and 198 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:10,320 night. The word meditate means to chew 199 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,800 on it or to mutter. So not only are you chewing on 200 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,080 it in your mind, you're running the word through, but you're 201 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,440 also speaking it out as well. So that's in essence, you're 202 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,560 eating the bread of life because it's getting in your spirit. 203 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,840 OK, so again, there's this whole context of what they call mental 204 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,880 ascent, which means you can receive God's Word just in your 205 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,920 mind. Now anyone who has just mental 206 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,960 ascent means they don't have revelation and you can quote 207 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,520 something all day long, but you've never made it where it's 208 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,200 governing your life. This is what religion does. 209 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,560 People who are religious have a a mental or knowledge of God's 210 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,800 word, but they do not let it govern their being. 211 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,480 And when you don't let it govern your being, then in essence, you 212 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,320 may have the knowledge of God, but you're not allowing it to 213 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,960 govern how you live and, and, and you have the heart to want 214 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,360 to do it. OK, so in order to meditate on 215 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,520 that, you're chewing on it, you're getting it, you're having 216 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,080 it, because once revelation hits, revelation never hits in 217 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,920 your mind. Revelation always comes in your 218 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,600 heart because the Word is sown into our hearts, which is our 219 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,280 spirit man, OK. And once the Holy Spirit reveals 220 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,200 to our spirit what God is. Saying Then it will illuminate 221 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,280 our mind, it will renew our mind, and now we now have the 222 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,840 spirit and soul in agreement that man, God's Word, is right. 223 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,360 And I'm going to believe that now if my physical man is like 224 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,840 can't happen, we can override with the other two realms. 225 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,280 And that's how it was designed. You could not do it in the 226 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,840 spirit or we're alive to God in the spirit until you were born 227 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,480 again. So your spirit man was dead and 228 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,400 it didn't matter how much you knew about God, it never 229 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,280 assimilated into your life because it was not revelation. 230 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,680 But the minute you became born again, then all of a sudden your 231 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:07,120 spirit came alive. Now God's Word is alive and it's 232 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,440 life to you. And as you meditate and chew on 233 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,240 it and you receive it in, then it will give revelation in your 234 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,040 mind to where that's how you think. 235 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,720 And you want to think that way. So really there were a group of 236 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,880 people. Now, we don't know their names, 237 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,760 but there were a group of people in the wilderness that were 238 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,840 picking up the manna as the Lord said, they were not having 239 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,160 smelly issues. And now you understand this 240 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,000 stuff so stunk so bad that they're like, let's don't do 241 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,800 that again, OK? I mean, it was really so they 242 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,520 didn't want to do it, which again, because we're alive to 243 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,000 God, that's how we we should not want. 244 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:49,600 To disobey God. So if our disobedience stuck as 245 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,600 bad, stunk, as bad as the manna did, then we would probably do 246 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,520 it less. But if we realize that if we get 247 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:04,040 the revelation man that stinks to high, yes. 248 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:10,720 OK, so Pastor Marcy gave us 4-5 things that we are to do in 249 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,080 order to eat. Number one, we are to give 250 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,440 attention to the Word. Come on, y'all doing all right? 251 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,000 I take good notes, people. I did not ask her today. 252 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,600 All I had to do is go to my notes, right? 253 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,000 I'm, I'm doing you service, all right? 254 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,720 Because I'm fixing to get to something that's going to blow 255 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,480 your mind. All right #2 incline your ear. 256 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,360 That means you have to consent and submit to the word #3 let 257 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,200 the word not depart from your sight. 258 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,680 You got to fix your eyes on it. Got to keep it in front of you. 259 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,760 Now again, these are really easy and practical. 260 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,120 It's what I love about Pastor Marcy when she gets in her 261 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,520 teacher mode is they're extremely practical, but they 262 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,720 are powerful because they are the difference between life and 263 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,240 death. I have come through seasons of 264 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:04,440 great challenge by applying these five things, as simple as 265 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,360 that. And it's it's not rocket 266 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,600 science. But it takes diligence to do 267 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,160 that. And you have to be very 268 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,640 consistent. Look, I'm going to give 269 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,480 attention to the word, which means I'm not going to listen to 270 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,640 anything else. I'm not giving attention to any 271 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,040 other thing. I'm going to incline my hearing 272 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,680 my my ear gait, as she said, my eye gait. 273 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,480 I'm keeping the things that filter in. 274 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,880 It's only the word, the rest. Of it, I take captive and I cast 275 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,160 it down. I'm not going to let it dominate 276 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,320 me. And again, when you've been 277 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,400 around, you know, in ministry or you've been above believer for a 278 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,080 while and you've heard this kind of teaching, this can almost go 279 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:41,640 like. This. 280 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:48,600 Yeah, I know. However application we can 281 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,360 determine have you yawned yourself past application? 282 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,040 Because again, you know, there's quite a few seafood restaurants 283 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,080 in our community and salmon is something I. 284 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,840 Habitually eat and I get excited every time and there's some 285 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,680 restaurants I can get the same thing. 286 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:16,040 Cracker Barrel breakfast, only I've never had anything else 287 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:22,920 breakfast every time. All right #4 keep the word in 288 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,640 your heart. Keep the word in your heart. 289 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,320 You have to keep it. That means it doesn't stay 290 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,320 there. You know, we almost treat the 291 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,400 Lord or the Word or what we learn here like a lot of the 292 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,840 students in school, and that is you learn enough for the test, 293 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,560 you pass the test and then you forget the information. 294 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:45,960 Right. You know. 295 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,880 There are a lot of people in our Nation Today that have degrees 296 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,160 that they're not even working in those fields. 297 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,400 And they've been so far removed from when they received that 298 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,720 degree, the bachelor of master of Doctorate of that they are so 299 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:10,359 out of touch with the field that if they got into it today, they 300 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:17,079 would be behind, completely behind, even though maybe 20 301 00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:20,280 years ago that was their degree and they can put on their 302 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,599 application. I, you know, I have a bachelor's 303 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:27,160 in graphic design. Well, you understand if you were 304 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,320 in advertising, marketing advertisement 20 years ago, it's 305 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,800 different today, right? So you have to. 306 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:42,160 Keep and that's effort, all right, and that's your 307 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,080 responsibility. God's not going to keep it for 308 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:44,920 you. You have to keep it. 309 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,440 And then the last one was the word is life to those who find 310 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,840 it in essence, feed your spirit. It feeds your spirit. 311 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,120 It is what makes your spirit man alive. 312 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,720 And again, it's easy for me I because of just navigating I can 313 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:04,600 always tell when my tank spiritual tank is not. 314 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,520 Full. It's a very easy indicator. 315 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Do you want to know if your spiritual tank is full When 316 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,200 something occurs, what comes first? 317 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,920 Flesh or spirit? What comes first? 318 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:28,800 And then which stays longer now for me, I'm like a time guy, OK, 319 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,800 What do I mean by that? We all get through issues of 320 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,760 life, challenges and life that, you know, it challenges our 321 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,680 flesh and we're having to crucify that thing. 322 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,080 OK. But you want to be a bit like 323 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,520 David. David is not the only person 324 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,920 whoever repented. But what was about David? 325 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,000 He repented quickly, so there was a time frame of repentance. 326 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,040 He did not drag this thing out. He was someone who would quickly 327 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,960 repent when he realized I'm wrong. 328 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,800 I'm going to get that right. So, you know, for if you get 329 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,760 into a situation and all of a sudden you're responding fleshly 330 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,600 and the Holy Ghost is saying you need to make the adjustment, you 331 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,920 know, giving you your 5 practical things of how you need 332 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,360 to eat some bread of life in this situation and you're having 333 00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:13,160 a heart. You're, you're basically 334 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,280 rejecting the plate. Well, what by the time you start 335 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,840 consuming the plate, what's that time period? 336 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,200 And you want to be able to get that thing reduced, because when 337 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,440 you're full, that thing could turn quickly. 338 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,800 You could turn quickly. Because in life, you're going to 339 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,160 get hurt. In life, you're going to have 340 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,560 challenges. Offenses are going to come. 341 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,120 You cannot stop offenses from coming, OK. 342 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,880 However, how you deal with it is going to be how well are you 343 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,960 eating the bread of life? Because the Bible has the answer 344 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,200 to all man's problems and questions. 345 00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:57,320 There's not one that the Word does not cover. 346 00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:01,400 There's not one situation you're in that the Word does not cover. 347 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,800 You just have to seek. All right. 348 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:10,480 OK, So with that being said, this could be my last review 349 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,320 scripture and that is in John 6 because this is setting us up 350 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,360 John 632. Definitely not to 68, it's only 351 00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:20,240 to 35. I have 68 mine. 352 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,040 John 632 to 35 says this. Jesus said to them, truly, 353 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:32,080 truly, truly, truly, not lie, lie, truly, truly. 354 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,520 I say to you, it is not Moses who has given underline that 355 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,240 word given you the bread of bread out of heaven, but it is 356 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,480 my Father who gives underline that word you the true bread out 357 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,400 of heaven. For the bread of God is that 358 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,280 which comes down out of heaven and gives underline that word 359 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:57,000 gives gives life to the world. Then they said to him, Lord 360 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,880 always what give underline that give us this bread. 361 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,200 Jesus says verse 35. Jesus said to them, I am the 362 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,800 bread of life. He who comes to me will not 363 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,120 hunger and he who believes in me will never thirst. 364 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,480 OK, so. The first time we ministered on 365 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,920 the bread, we obviously left with the context. 366 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,640 The bread of life is the word of God. 367 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,680 Pastor Marcy last week talked about, well, how do you eat the 368 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,640 bread of life? Well, you've one bite at a time. 369 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,240 And she gave us practical ways that we can ingest. 370 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,720 Now the next thing is how do you serve it? 371 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,440 Because it's one thing for us to identify what the bread of life 372 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,640 is, how we do personal consumption, but you are 373 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,720 supposed to give it because here in this scripture, notice God 374 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:48,960 does not keep bread for himself, nor is he which God he's life. 375 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,200 So at the end of the day, he applies everything he says. 376 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,560 God does not go against his own word. 377 00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:01,480 God is not a man that he should, which means God in his 378 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,200 sovereignty, meaning he has all power. 379 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,920 He doesn't say something to you that he is unwilling to keep. 380 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,200 Himself. This is why, when everything's 381 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,800 said and done and we have a new heaven and new earth, all that 382 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,680 are thrown into the lake of fire are those who are with Him. 383 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,520 Everyone. Every. 384 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,280 Creative being will know he's the only just one who is able to 385 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,840 keep his word, period. He's just. 386 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,640 He's just He is a keeper of His word. 387 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,760 So again, when we start the Bible in Genesis 1, he said let 388 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,560 us make man in our image according to our likeness and 389 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:48,240 let them have dominion. God gave a rulership that He 390 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,480 will not violate because He spoke it. 391 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,920 So that means when the when you know, the devil came into the 392 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:02,960 garden and deceived Eve and Adam rebelled, God didn't jump in and 393 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,360 say, wait a minute, I'm the ruler. 394 00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:10,000 You can't do that. His word locked him out of the 395 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,320 situation because he won't violate it and he's all 396 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,840 powerful. I mean, he's already kicked out 397 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,560 this, you know, serpent in the garden out of his realm anyway. 398 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,280 Why doesn't he just come down and kick him out there? 399 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:31,480 Because he's given it and he's bound to his own word. 400 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:37,040 This is why he comes down and he says, OK, I'm going to have to 401 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:43,280 bring my seed through man. Because if I gave it to man and 402 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:49,040 he lost it, then a man must come in order to get it back, because 403 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,880 it's man's. I will not violate my Word. 404 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,880 Jesus then is born, you know, at the proper time. 405 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,240 So God has to come as a man because He will not violate His 406 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,240 Word. This is why you know as well as 407 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,440 I do God desires that none would perish. 408 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,800 Well, just because He has a desire doesn't mean everyone is 409 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,760 not going to perish. So you can't build a doctrine 410 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,480 that there's no hell or there is no, you know, you know, second 411 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,240 death because you know God desires at all would repent. 412 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,440 Well, obviously that's his desire, but he won't violate his 413 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:29,080 word and make you make him Lord of your life. 414 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,040 He gives you the free will. He does not violate His word 415 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,280 concerning you. So everyone who goes to hell, 416 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,280 God didn't send them, They wanted to go. 417 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,960 He enforces His word to them. You chose not to receive me. 418 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:49,520 This is the consequence because He won't violate His word 419 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:55,600 because to Him His word is life and he cannot violate it. 420 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,280 Now there are situations in Scripture when people read this 421 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,000 again, and let's be wise when we read it because again, we know 422 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,040 that he came down. He said, Moses, man, just get 423 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,000 out of the way. I'm gonna smoke these. 424 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,280 People. We'll just eliminate them and 425 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,560 start a whole nother nation with you. 426 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,040 We understand, Moses says. Don't. 427 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,120 He says he changed his mind. What did he change when? 428 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,320 He didn't change his mind he just changed when because he 429 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:30,440 cannot allow the disobedience to go on without something. 430 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,240 Now God also if you read the law when he gave when Moses is 431 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:41,760 right, there is this pathway of repentance because he said now 432 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,240 if the nation does these things, then this is the blessing 433 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,040 deuteron 28. If they do these things, if they 434 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,200 don't obey, then this is the consequence occur. 435 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,120 But it says now if they and he talks about he said if they 436 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,160 because they disobey and they get scattered all but if they 437 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,720 will repent, I'll gather. So he gives provision. 438 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,480 SO1 case in point, Hezekiah is a king and the Lord sends the 439 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,040 prophet to him and says tell him he's going to die, get his house 440 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,960 in order. What did God say that? 441 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,560 Absolutely. And is he going to do that? 442 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:20,400 Yes, unless Hezekiah enacts one of his other words which would 443 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,440 bring in his compassion, and that is repentance. 444 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,000 And he did remember, he throws aside and he began to layout and 445 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,960 repent. And because he repented, God has 446 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,800 another word for a repenter. And again, this is in a 447 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,520 scripture. It says he says, because again, 448 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,080 there was this argument kind of with God. 449 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,280 God says if a person is doing their life and they're doing bad 450 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,000 and they're evil and they're just running, but they repent 451 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,800 and change, then God will forgive them. 452 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,320 And you'll say that's not right Because then he says, if 453 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,160 somebody's following me, obey me, doing great, and then in the 454 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,320 end starts doing evil, then he'll judge them according. 455 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,840 He said that's not right. And it is right, because God 456 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:05,320 does his word. He's not changing. 457 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,680 He's not. Oh, well, I said that, but I'm 458 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,840 not going to do it. No, I said this. 459 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,800 But now if you do what else I've said, then you can enact me to 460 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,400 move here, 'cause, man, He is merciful. 461 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,640 He is so full of compassion. He is so long-suffering. 462 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,400 I'm so glad he's long-suffering. Amen. 463 00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:29,960 Now, there may be indication during the millennial reign that 464 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,920 that will look a lot different because they'll be physically 465 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,800 present. That judgement will be paid out 466 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,160 in a quicker measure if we read the scripture. 467 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,280 OK, so God wants to give us the bread. 468 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,000 So in essence, the bread of life was never designed to be for you 469 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:58,440 to consume only. Not only do you you need to 470 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:04,760 consume it so that you can Jesus Christ said I do the will of my 471 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,760 father first. He ingests the will. 472 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,840 He was a studier of the word. He knew what his father's will 473 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,640 was. He meditated on it, he muttered 474 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,320 it, he kept it. He said anything I'm but then he 475 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:23,600 knew how to distribute. OK, so when we recognize that 476 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,040 the bread of life, I mean, God is talking to humanity, that he 477 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,640 wants to sustain them, not with just natural, but with his word. 478 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,160 And then we can be an example of what that looks like. 479 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,800 I mean, we walk into the office, we walk into our homes, we walk 480 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,800 into a place of business and you know, we walk in, you know, to a 481 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,840 reunion, whatever the case may be, people would be like, wow, 482 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:49,520 you should be so well nourished in the word that it's obvious. 483 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,440 And they're like, how are you taking care of you? 484 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,520 What is go? How come your life's like was 485 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,640 what you're eating? But guess what? 486 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,880 You can say do you want some? And you have to learn how to be 487 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,480 at a distribute. OK, now let's look at Mark 488 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,480 Chapter 7. Now Mark Chapter 7, I'm going to 489 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,040 only read the first few verses because we're going to look at 490 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,200 the Matthew account of this specifically, All right? 491 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,720 But I want to look at the Mark because it says some things a 492 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,760 little bit different so we can get a full picture. 493 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,040 Because a lot of times when we read scripture, if we don't 494 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,440 watch out, we just kind of read through it. 495 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:30,040 And we, we're not imagining like what's taking place here, OK? 496 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,920 Because you know, there's going to be people in the room right 497 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:38,040 now that are going to be very uncomfortable with what took 498 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,560 place in these passage of Scripture. 499 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:45,600 If you see it for how it reads, not gloss over it and act like 500 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:52,000 this did not occur. OK, Mark Chapter 7, verse 24 to 501 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,280 26. Jesus got up and went away. 502 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,600 And I'm going to break it down verse by verse, OK? 503 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,960 Jesus got up, went away from there to the region of Tara, and 504 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,320 when he had entered a house, when he had entered a house, 505 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:11,080 what's the next statement? Say he wanted no one to know of 506 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,760 it. He entered in the house. 507 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,640 He doesn't want anyone to know he's there. 508 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,440 So what is Jesus's attitude? I don't want to talk to nobody. 509 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,840 I don't want to be around nobody. 510 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,400 I don't want to convert. I sure don't want to minister. 511 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,120 I don't want to do nothing. That's what Jesus wanted. 512 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,360 He entered the house. He wanted no one to know of it. 513 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,800 I don't want nobody know I'm here, OK? 514 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,560 I'm trying to get away. I mean, we all just sometimes 515 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,480 need to get away if we feel like, man, I just need to get 516 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,840 away. Right, OK, but look what it 517 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,200 says. Yet he could not escape. 518 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,600 So you understand, he couldn't escape notice. 519 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,600 So the ones that don't know he's there. 520 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,560 It's not like Jesus. Like we'll bring them on. 521 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,200 Come on, Jesus. Jesus always has time for you. 522 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,160 Well, not in his flesh. There was times in his flesh 523 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,960 your life. And I can. 524 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,320 Can I get a moment here? Right. 525 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,200 Because again, what do we do? Well, if you're pastor, you got 526 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,120 to be available all the time. Well, Jesus didn't want to be 527 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,560 available all the time, right? Right. 528 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,800 I mean, we, we. And if you don't watch out like 529 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,680 friendships, there's all you're like. 530 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,200 You want them available all the time. 531 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:44,920 OK, verse 20. Five, but after hearing of him, 532 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,440 OK, so he hasn't escaped. Notice. 533 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,000 More than one person knows he's there, but all of a sudden 534 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,720 someone else hears he's her in town and she shows up a woman 535 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,920 whose little daughter had an unclean spirit. 536 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:04,080 Now this is this is a problem. His daughter has an issue. 537 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:10,040 She has an unclean spirit, so she's possessed of an unclean. 538 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:15,200 Spirit, it's not good situation. All right, OK. 539 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,680 What this this woman who has a daughter of an unclean 540 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,240 immediately came and fell at his feet. 541 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:29,800 So she got in the house, right? I mean, you just set back to 542 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:35,640 relax and all of a sudden, BAM, somebody's at your feet and 543 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,040 they're asking you to do something. 544 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,360 You're like, it's kind of like my dog. 545 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,160 My dog knows when a particular show. 546 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,320 The news show that my wife and I watch, we record it because I 547 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,160 much rather watch it recorded than when it comes on that way I 548 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,560 can just blow through the commercials. 549 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,680 OK, I just. And again, if they're talking 550 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,480 points silly I can push on too, but it's. 551 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,560 Amazing. I can sit down on my side of the 552 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,360 couch. My wife has a side that has the 553 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,360 chase, OK, And she's there. I'm over here, very comfortable. 554 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:17,560 I'm telling you, within 60 seconds she is over here by the 555 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:22,680 glass, by the our glass lighting doors and she starts doing this. 556 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,600 Really now this doesn't matter whether we just took her out 30 557 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,120 minutes ago. This is irrelevant. 558 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,640 It's when that show comes on, it's like she knows the music 559 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,000 montage. I mean, it's like, and and 560 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,960 again, it comes on at a very specific time. 561 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,600 So even if it's two hours later when we get home and we've just 562 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,880 let her out 30 minutes ago and then she here, it's like, I got 563 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,640 to go. She's like that. 564 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:06,840 I'm like, now I'm going to be honest with you, sometimes I 565 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:16,679 hold out for my wife. So 9.5 times out of 10, I'm 566 00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:20,960 getting up and I don't have a problem with that. 567 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:27,520 But there are times you're kind of like, and my wife's gracious, 568 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,920 you know, when she doesn't see me moving and she's still, you 569 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,320 know, doing her little, you know, trying to talk to me as a 570 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,480 human being, right? I'm like. 571 00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:37,719 Then she starts to. No, I got it. 572 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,440 I'll do it right. But I'm like, Jesus, I don't 573 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,840 even want her to know I'm at the house. 574 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,000 I don't want the dog to know I'm home so I don't have to get up 575 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:55,400 and let her out, right? Because we just did this 30 576 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,600 minutes ago. How is it you're going again? 577 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,880 OK, so after hearing this woman comes in this, her daughter's 578 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,800 got a real big issue. She falls down at his feet. 579 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,440 Verse 26. Now, the woman was a Gentile, 580 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,840 the Saarphoenician of the Saarphoenician race, which means 581 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:19,040 she was of two nations, OK? She had, she was mixed between 582 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:25,720 two nations, OK. And she kept asking him to cast 583 00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:28,800 the demon out of her daughter. All right, now let's go over to 584 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,080 the Matthew account. Matthew 15 has this account. 585 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,560 We're going to look at it and we'll finish it on through. 586 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,720 But we'll repeat some things. Matthew 1521 to 28, it says 587 00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:42,720 Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district and a 588 00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:46,040 Canaanite woman, which is a Gentiles are Phoenician, OK, 589 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:52,640 She's not from Israel, she's not part of Jesus's nation. 590 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:59,360 OK, From that region came and began to cry out saying have 591 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:05,040 mercy on me. Lord, son of David, my daughter 592 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,520 is cruelly demon possessed. Now how is her daughter demon 593 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,320 possessed? Cruelly now? 594 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,520 She's talking to who? Who's she talking to? 595 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,040 Come on, who's she talking to? Jesus. 596 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,760 We're talking love embodied in the flesh. 597 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,840 Jesus, who already has this thought? 598 00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:34,920 I really don't want nobody to know I'm even in the house. 599 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:43,000 However, people are here now and now this lady's here and she's 600 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,320 not even from Israel. She's in none of our tribe. 601 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,480 She's by all right what they call a heathen. 602 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:57,000 She's a gentile. There's this is problematic. 603 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:04,800 Just culturally OK. And she is crying out the other 604 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:10,000 mark count communicates how she repeatedly is saying this right. 605 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,040 So it's not just a one time that's Jesus. 606 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,360 I'm going to ask one time and that's it. 607 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,440 No, she's repeatedly saying this very distressed, crying out, 608 00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:21,760 most likely emotionally distraught and and why wouldn't 609 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,440 you be? Your daughter is cruelly demon 610 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,440 possessed. Look what it says in verse 23. 611 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:35,000 But he what he did not answer her a word. 612 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:51,760 You're Jesus did not answer her a word and he's righteous and 613 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,800 just. He loves this woman way more 614 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,480 than you do and any calls you're covering. 615 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,320 He didn't say a word. This is mind blowing in him. 616 00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:11,320 He did not answer her a word and his disciples came and implored 617 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,040 to him saying because they noticed he's not talking to her, 618 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:19,240 he's not responding to her and all she's doing is continuing to 619 00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:24,200 yell, making a scene. I mean if you're not going to 620 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:29,080 converse then send her away. But she just keeps shouting at 621 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,880 us. Now he's going to talk to her. 622 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,840 But he answered and said and he's talking to the woman. 623 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:43,720 He said I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of. 624 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:53,170 Israel, are you hearing me? So in this is like. 625 00:38:53,770 --> 00:38:58,290 I have an assignment and you're not in that assignment. 626 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,240 But she came and begged, began to bow down, saying, Lord help 627 00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:07,680 me. All right, let's keep reading. 628 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,880 So it goes. And he answered and says it is 629 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,680 not good. Now he's talking to her. 630 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,960 Now look what he says to her. It is not good to take the 631 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,520 children's what? The children's what? 632 00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:25,120 Now? What is the bread? 633 00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:31,320 Because he didn't answer her a word he says. 634 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:36,160 It is not good to take the children's bread, meaning the 635 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:46,400 word of my nation, and throw it to the dogs. 636 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:54,750 Oh yeah, I don't. Want to hear this? 637 00:39:56,870 --> 00:40:00,150 OK, are we talking real dogs here? 638 00:40:02,270 --> 00:40:08,880 So who's he talking to? The Gentiles, the nation she's 639 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,520 of. In essence, he's saying I'm not 640 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:16,120 giving bread to you. A dog, Jesus. 641 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,520 Said this now. I'm going to tell you right now 642 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,920 people would be on CNN right now, Fox News, we'd be all up in 643 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,520 the uproar that Jesus would talk to somebody or anybody would 644 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:34,120 talk to somebody like that in an uproar because God, Jesus knows 645 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:43,760 the value of the bread of life because the bread of life is not 646 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:50,960 to be consumed on personal pleasures or your own wants. 647 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,120 We know this because it says, why do we have all these 648 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,680 quarrels? And James and he says, listen, 649 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,440 you have not because you ask not, but when you ask, you ask a 650 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,600 miss. So you're asking me for an 651 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,360 answer, but when you ask me for the answer, you're asking a 652 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,560 miss. You really just want my word so 653 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,120 you can get a blessing, but you don't want me. 654 00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:10,840 See, this is the problem Jesus had with his own nation. 655 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,480 He says, man, I'm working miracles doing all this stuff. 656 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,040 And yet you're missing the whole point. 657 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,400 You're you're not wanting me. I am the word. 658 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,160 So he says it's not good to take the children's bread and throw 659 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,880 it to the dogs. Now this woman is way. 660 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,480 I mean, this lady is on a next level because believers can't 661 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,600 even function like this. Believers can't even function 662 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,000 like this. We know the world doesn't 663 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,360 function like this at all. I mean, the minute you say 664 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,960 something to somebody that it's an uproar, you're going to post 665 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,720 it everywhere, all over social media. 666 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,360 You're going to lambast them and all the stuff. 667 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,400 And then you're going to post all their texts that they text 668 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:53,640 to you. I mean, you're just going to rat 669 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:54,960 them out. You're going to just man. 670 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,920 And then it happens. Even in the church, Jesus says 671 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,080 this. She doesn't go out and say, oh, 672 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,400 that Messiah, you know, this Jesus, this one who raised the 673 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,120 dead and healed the sick enough. He didn't do nothing for me. 674 00:42:07,240 --> 00:42:10,280 I went and asked him. My daughter was cruel as as did 675 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,440 look at her. She did and he would do nothing, 676 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:20,440 wouldn't even talk to me. He called me a dog. 677 00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:29,800 But man, she was beyond that because at the end of the day, 678 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:34,920 she knows this. His bread gets results. 679 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,200 And I don't. I don't care what you think 680 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:44,040 about me. I need your bread at the end of 681 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,360 the I don't care what you think about me. 682 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,200 I am no. Good. 683 00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:52,920 I know what where I come from, where I know what state I'm in. 684 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,720 I'm just I know this. Your bread heals. 685 00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:58,680 It does it. It does it. 686 00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:03,200 So she says to him, this is powerfully what she said, but 687 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,120 she said yes. Most of may more people would 688 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,920 denounce Jesus at this point. I mean, because they've 689 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,560 denounced their brothers and sisters. 690 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,640 I mean, they'll, they'll, they won't walk in unity that we've 691 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,760 been talking about, you know, because maybe said somebody said 692 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,200 something away or referred something to such a wall. 693 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,320 I can't even I mean this woman, if anyone can be offended at the 694 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,960 Lord Jesus Christ and hold him to his own words. 695 00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:38,240 But this is bigger because when she stands in his friend, she 696 00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:47,000 said she knows this, he's right, he's righteous, He's just and 697 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,800 anything he says about me and directs he's right on. 698 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,280 And I'm sure not going to wear my feelings because I I need 699 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,600 results. When you need results, you'll 700 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,880 crucify your flesh. You will put your own thinking 701 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,360 down. You will make some adjustments, 702 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,360 she says. Yes, Lord, you're supreme and 703 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:17,840 authority, You're righteous. But even the dogs feed on the 704 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,080 crumbs. Which fall from the master's 705 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,680 table.

Well, you know, they preach this 708 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:34,600 and they preach that, you know, I got it. 709 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,200 I can't believe they would say that. 710 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,480 I mean, this woman's like, I don't care. 711 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,480 I just want crumbs.

You're right about me. 727 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:39,400 You're right about my whole race, but even the dogs feed on 728 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,840 the crumbs which fall from the master's table. 729 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:51,840 Then Jesus said to her, Oh woman, before he didn't even 730 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,440 talk to her. He didn't even talk to her. 731 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:06,240 Oh woman, your crumbs can get you faith. 732 00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:08,760 That is great. I mean, you don't need a whole 733 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,600 Revelation loaf. I mean you just need crumbs. 734 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,000 Crumbs will get you into great faith. 735 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,360 Listen, that means you can come into a service that you have 736 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:26,080 eaten the the loaf or bread of revelation concerning faith 737 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,520 healing, prosperity, authority of the believer, a multiplicity 738 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,200 of subjects. And then you come in, you're 739 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,480 like, man, I want another loaf. And the Lord's like, listen, I'm 740 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,280 giving you some crumbs today. That is from the loaf I've 741 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,840 already given you. But yet we disdain those crumbs. 742 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:48,040 But we want another loaf. But crumbs will get great faith 743 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,800 in you. So instead of getting offended 744 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:56,280 at the Master because through his fivefold ministry, he's 745 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,800 ministering truths to number one, maybe 'cause things to come 746 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,680 to your remembrance, to continue to strengthen you, to give you a 747 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,120 meal you've already had 100 times before. 748 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,000 But my gosh, man, if you get it for what it is, you'll remember 749 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,880 the first time you tested that sweet potato casserole in your 750 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,080 life. Bro, please give me another 751 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:21,240 portion. Attitude determines everything. 752 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:29,640 Crumbs, man, crumbs, crumbs. In essence, I understand that 753 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,920 this is being served to someone else, but if I can just get. 754 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:42,160 A crumb of revelation. I don't even have listen with 755 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,560 Saints today they had like. You don't put me at the table. 756 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,640 I'm not coming. This one was like I'm under the 757 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,640 table. I just, I don't care. 758 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,280 I don't care. I don't care whether I'm in the 759 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:57,680 back or the front. I don't care what they 760 00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,880 recognize. I mean I'm under the table just 761 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:04,080 waiting for it to fall because when it does I'm going to grab 762 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:05,880 it like it's the only thing worth. 763 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:11,240 Eating. Man, this is awesome, right? 764 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,800 Jesus said to her, old woman, your faith is great. 765 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:18,240 It shall be done for you as you wish. 766 00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:21,720 And her daughter was healed at once. 767 00:48:22,240 --> 00:48:25,160 I said. Her daughter was healed at once. 768 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,840 I said her daughter was healed at once. 769 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:36,040 If she would have been offended by his lack of attentiveness, if 770 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:43,480 she would have been affected by his silence, by him ignoring 771 00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:53,120 her, then if she then when he finally spoke, he's like, the 772 00:48:53,120 --> 00:49:02,840 word you want is for my nation, not you, She would have got 773 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:03,880 offended. All that. 774 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,040 She would have left and her daughter still would have been 775 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:14,080 cruelly demon possessed. However, she knows the value of 776 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,920 the bread of life and just a crumb from it. 777 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,960 Just a crumb. Listen, it may not be for me 778 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,800 specifically, but if I could just get a Chrome, I know it had 779 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:35,080 changed me. Are you hearing me now? 780 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,480 Why do I say that? Because I'm a prophecy a little 781 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,640 bit. I got this by the Spirit. 782 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,880 Now I'm using the Scripture because again, any prophecy that 783 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,600 doesn't have some context in Scripture is not real prophecy. 784 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,480 OK, when I say that I'm talking about unction of the Spirit 785 00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:50,560 through the gifts of the Spirit. OK, I'm prophesying. 786 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,760 Many of you. Says the Spirit of the Lord, are 787 00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:04,000 not giving away your crumbs because you've not valued what 788 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,720 you already know. The spirit of the Lord says, I 789 00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:11,400 want to remind you of a of the prophet who went to the widow 790 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:17,080 during the famine, Elijah, and when he went to her house, he 791 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:21,640 says, make me some bread first. She says, I only have enough to 792 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,720 make me a little bit and my son a little bit and then we're 793 00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:28,160 going to die. He says, make it for me first, 794 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,400 says the word of the Lord, and if you'll do that, then make 795 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,240 y'all some this thing's not going to run out. 796 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:41,520 And by faith the crumb of the meal they had multiplied every 797 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:47,400 day till the famine was over. The Spirit of the Lord says, do 798 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:54,400 you not remember how small, how small the amount of bread was 799 00:50:54,400 --> 00:51:00,800 used to feed 5000 men? Do you remember how many small 800 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:05,640 in comparison amount of bread or loaves were used when feeding 801 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:10,480 the 4000 men? He said the things you already 802 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:14,120 know, what you think you don't know, but what you do know. 803 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:19,240 There's enough power in what you know that there are people 804 00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:22,280 you're encountering today, and you're embarrassed to give 805 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:32,210 crumbs. But the crumbs you give, what 806 00:51:32,210 --> 00:51:35,610 seems insignificant to you. God can multiply. 807 00:51:37,210 --> 00:51:39,010 In fact, let me just say it this way. 808 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:46,680 Jesus says as I am in the earth, so are if he was the bread of 809 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,920 life, which was the carrier of the word of God. 810 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,880 You are a carrier of the Word of God, which means God can 811 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:57,520 multiply as little as you think you are into something so 812 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:01,520 significant it can just. Keep coming off you and out of 813 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,440 you. And touch whomever you come. 814 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,840 You have an endless supply of the bread of life to feed 815 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:12,760 people, even if all you're giving away is crumbs. 816 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,880 So it doesn't matter whether you have graduated from Bible school 817 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:27,600 and been in ministry or or or or been in the church for 30 or 818 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,280 4050 years. Doesn't matter no matter how 819 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:32,680 many books you've read, how many times you've gone through the 820 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:37,320 Bible, because even if you were born again yesterday, you have 821 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:44,960 enough in your testimony that it can multiply. 822 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:51,840 Don't be ashamed of it. Give your bread away because 823 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:58,360 what you have, God can multiply. God can cause a word you say to 824 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:03,960 your Co worker to multiply in their ears for the next month. 825 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:12,440 One word, one word, 1 phrase, one act of kindness out of from 826 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:16,160 God that the Lord says listen, buy their lunch and tell them I 827 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,720 care about them. Listen I'm just gonna buy you 828 00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:19,040 lunch. The Lord want me to do this, 829 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,880 said he cares about you or the Lord just wanted me to do it. 830 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,040 That's all you say. You just give an acknowledgement 831 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:25,920 where you heard it and why you're doing it. 832 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:31,000 And God can take that one word, that crumb, and pound on the 833 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:37,240 heart of that person night and day by the remembrance of the 834 00:53:37,240 --> 00:53:41,040 Holy Ghost. And one person, someone you 835 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,080 think there's no way they would ever give their lives to God. 836 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:49,720 That one action, that one crumb has demonic or has the ability 837 00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:54,560 to crush demonic strongholds. There's nothing that the enemy 838 00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:58,040 can do. That a crumb can't set free. 839 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,200 Wow. Say Hallelujah. 840 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,360 Say Amen. Hallelujah. 841 00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:11,600 Thank you, Jesus. I said thank you, Jesus. 842 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,240 Well, Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. 843 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:22,080 Let me close with a warning. OK, There's a warning for 844 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:29,320 withholding bread, even crumbs. We find this in Luke chapter 16 845 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,040 verse 19 to 25. I won't read the whole account. 846 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:37,520 This is not a parable. This is an actual occurrence and 847 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,120 the reason it's not a parable because number one, it doesn't 848 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:41,680 start. You know, the Kingdom of God is 849 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:46,120 like, or that Jesus spoke a parable saying, OK, another 850 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,720 thing is any place that he said the Kingdom of God is like or 851 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,200 you know, another parable or he spoke this parable. 852 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:55,760 He always used general terms. He never used natural names. 853 00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,880 In this case, he talks about real people. 854 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,040 So again, if you would, if you thought this is a parable, then 855 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,200 you have to conclude that Abraham never existed. 856 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:12,680 He's a fictional character. OK, says Now there was a rich 857 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,800 man, Jesus said, And he habitually dressed in purple and 858 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:21,040 fine linen, joyously living a splendor every day, living in 859 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,920 splendor every day. And a poor man named Lazarus was 860 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:28,560 laid by his what by his what by his what? 861 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:33,200 His gait covered with sores. Now what did Lazarus? 862 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:40,040 Long, for at his gate he longed to be fed with the crumbs which 863 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,320 were falling from the rich man's table. 864 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,440 But he wasn't at the table. He wasn't even under the table, 865 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:57,490 he was at the gate and it says that even dogs were coming and 866 00:55:57,490 --> 00:55:59,770 licking his sores. The poor man died and was 867 00:55:59,770 --> 00:56:02,730 carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. 868 00:56:02,730 --> 00:56:05,970 That was paradise doesn't exist anymore because Jesus split that 869 00:56:05,970 --> 00:56:09,170 open and pull those people out. OK. 870 00:56:09,170 --> 00:56:12,650 And the rich man also died and was buried in Hades. 871 00:56:12,810 --> 00:56:16,880 He's in hell. Or the grave, he's in torment. 872 00:56:17,240 --> 00:56:21,320 He lifted up his eyes, being in torment and saw Abraham far away 873 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,720 and Lazarus in his bosom. Verse 24. 874 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,080 And he cried out and said, father Abraham, the guy knew who 875 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,960 Abraham was, recognized in the spirit, who he was. 876 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,040 There's no indication that this was during Abraham's time. 877 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,160 He said have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he may dip 878 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:46,160 the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am 879 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:50,000 in agony in this flame. Now notice he's asking for 880 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:55,120 Lazarus that he passed at the his gate every day so 881 00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:59,880 positionally. In fact his spiritual position 882 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:04,000 has not changed. Even though he's in torment, he 883 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,120 is still only thinking of himself. 884 00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:14,200 So agony. Anyone who goes to the lake of 885 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,840 fire in the end will not have ever have a change of heart. 886 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:23,040 They'll still be selfish. OK, But Abraham said. 887 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,160 Child, remember that during your life you received your good 888 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,320 things and likewise Lazarus bad things. 889 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,680 But now he is being comforted here and you are in agony. 890 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,560 Ultimately he says, listen, I couldn't come over there if I 891 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,280 wanted to. You can't come over here. 892 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,720 We got this thing in between US. In essence, the righteous dead 893 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:42,040 was in paradise. The unrighteous dead is holding 894 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,720 for the the weighted Great White Throne judgement trial that is 895 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,120 to come at a later. Date that has not happened yet, 896 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,680 OK? The point here is he said, 897 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,240 listen, Lazarus had his bad things. 898 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:53,640 You know what was bad about Lazarus? 899 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:57,680 The bad things he received is that he had a rich man go past 900 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:06,160 him every day at his gate. He knows he's hungry and he is 901 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:11,760 eating his bread. And he never once even thought 902 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,320 or considered to offer him a crumb. 903 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:28,720 Everyone in this room that is born again, you're carrying 904 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:39,920 bread. You're carrying bread if we 905 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:47,320 never give. Then we are. 906 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:57,030 Rich people that are eating the bread of life to ourselves, 907 00:58:58,950 --> 00:59:02,720 we're filling ourselves to the full, but we're not even willing 908 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,280 to give crumbs to those that we see day in and day out. 909 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,520 And at the leading of the Holy Ghost, he says give them 910 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:13,360 something. Now there's some that he, the 911 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:20,240 Lord, can say, don't even talk to him, because I wasn't going 912 00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:26,800 to talk to that woman either. Listen, if the Cyre Phoenician 913 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:31,880 woman had quit asking, she would have left without anything. 914 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:48,680 She wanted it so bad that her faith was revealed sometimes. 915 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,960 I'm going to give you another scripture. 916 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:58,560 We are casting our pearls before the so there's some people you 917 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:04,280 don't need to give a crumb to until they're exhibiting their 918 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,480 faith. But if you know someone has a 919 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:12,040 need, and you can meet the need, and you sense in your spirit 920 01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:19,840 you're supposed to, then even if all you have is a crumb they're 921 01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:20,840 wanting. It. 922 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,000 A lot of times we don't distribute because they're like, 923 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:29,920 man, I, I can't help them. But what you do have is really 924 01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,960 all they want because the Lazarus didn't want to be at the 925 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,920 table. He was longing just for the 926 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:42,280 crumbs. And there's many out there that 927 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,000 do not believe, like the Phoenician woman who did not 928 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:46,000 argue with Jesus. You're right. 929 01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:47,680 But even the. Dogs. 930 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,280 You're right about me, Lord. You're right. 931 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,440 You're right. I don't deserve the words that 932 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,280 you speak to your nation. I get that. 933 01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,400 I'm not in covenant. I'm outside. 934 01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:58,800 I'm an outside. That's true. 935 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,360 But I would want to be. I would make you my Lord. 936 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:06,360 I know you are Lord, and I'm born in this nation. 937 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,360 If I could have been born in yours, I would have been. 938 01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,000 But I know you're Lord nonetheless. 939 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,440 And man, when she demonstrated her faith and said, you know, 940 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:22,760 even the dogs eat crumbs, just give me a Chrome. 941 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:27,480 So sometimes you think, man, I got to do. 942 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,640 They just want the Chrome. And you have that. 943 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:33,120 Let's pray.
