man if you have your bibles turn to leviticus i know you read there a lot let's turn to leviticus chapter uh let's see chapter nine i'm going to continue talking about alters this morning thank you father [Music] what a great series this has been and and i just believe it's going to can the holy spirit is going to continue to grow us up quickly and things that we need for this hour things that we need for our personal lives or personal growth and that's what that's what the pastoral gift is about that's what the teaching gift is for that's what apostles and prophets they're for therefore the the the growing up of the saints for them to do the work of the ministry and it goes on that we may grow up into him into all things who is christ so it's all about it's all about maturing it's all about maturing and and it's about coming up coming up higher coming up to better way of thinking better way of living it's about it's about stepping into becoming a winner in every area of our lives that's what we're about as a church it's not just winning in one area but it's winning in every area it's seeing success and prosperity in every area of our lives spirit soul and body that's i love dr snow's message last week about about success and prosperity it's god's will for our lives it's his will for us to prosper and it's his will for us to win amen it's his it's his will for you to win and if you haven't won yet hey just keep getting up right amen that's what we're about as a church and so good to see you today and we're going to go higher today the altar the altar we've seen is is not just a a place we go to in the front of the church it's it's not a place but the altar is a person we we've discovered that the altar is a place where we receive mercy the altar is a place where we encounter god it's a place where we celebrate the finished works of christ it's a place where we discover our true identity it's where we know him and and we we we know who we are in him and this morning we're going to take this a little bit deeper because because it is the altar is a place of encounter it's a place where we encounter him whether it's in the front of a the stage or whether it's next to our bed or in our in our cars or where wherever we make a place an altar it's a place where we encounter him and when you truly encounter him you'll be changed i mean even even if you you encounter him even though you may let go of some things he told you you'll go back to that place and you'll wow i experienced god there and that's my heart for a heritage of faith when you come in these doors or you watch by way of internet that you encounter god you encounter god's presence you are equipped with his word to where you go out and you change someone else's life with it so let's look at leviticus thank you father yeah let me let me explain this first in scripture oftentimes god will you'll see instruction and then you'll see application and then you'll see manifestation and so a lot of what my heart as a pastor is there's instruction and the point is for the instruction to become application and then the application becomes manifestation and we see this in scripture if you look at exodus chapter 40 the first 16 verses god is giving moses some instructions on what to do with the temple and then starting in verse 17 it says and moses did and moses did just as god commanded and moses did just as he commanded and moses did just as he commanded and then moses did just as he commanded and it goes on for the next for you know for the next like 25 verses and finally it says and when when moses finished all the work that god had commanded him to do the glory of god fell so what do we see we see god giving instruction now we're seeing moses applying it and then what are we seeing we're seeing manifestation now hold your place in leviticus 9 and go to leviticus 6. now what i want you to see first is we're seeing instruction it just would read the first couple verses of a chapter i mean chapter 6 verse 8 says and the lord spoke unto moses saying command aaron and his son saying this is the law of the burnt offering it is the burnt offering because the burning upon the altar all might all night until morning and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it and the priest shall put on the linen garment and the linen breeches shall be upon his flesh and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar and he shall put them beside the altar and he shall put off his garments put on the other garments and carry forth the ashes without the camp into a clean place now look at verse 12 and the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it it shall not be put out and the priest shall burn what on water wood on it every morning and lay the burnt offering in order upon it and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings the fire shall ever be burning upon the altar and it shall never go out now this this is instruction this is instruction he's saying hey tell tell aaron and and all the priests that they're to do this and that fire would be upon the altar and the priest's job was to never let the fire go out on the altar that it would ever be burning now let's look at chapter 9. for the sake of time let's look at verse 22. now we're seeing application now we're seeing what god instructed moses to tell aaron now we're seeing aaron applying the instruction then aaron lifted his hands towards the people and blessed them and came down from the altar after offering the sin offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings moses and aaron went into the tent of meeting and when they came out they blessed the people and the glory of the lord appeared to all the people then there came fire from before the lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar and when all the people saw it they shouted and fell on their faces now what i want you to see is god started the fire they didn't start the fire god started the fire they they laid the burnt offering they laid the sacrifice but god lit the fire but yet it was the priest's job to not let that fire go out so i want to talk to you this morning and talk to us this morning about not letting our fire go out what fire has god began in you long ago that you may have let go out see god began this fire but yet it was the priest's job to not let the fire go out fire upon the altar it shall ever be burning on the altar and it shall never go out never go out thank you father my job this morning is to fan a flame within your heart to put a passion within our hearts this morning let's go to isaiah chapter 10. thank you father thank you lord let's look at verse 17. thank you lord actually look at verse 16. therefore will the lord the lord of hosts and leanness among the enemy and instead of his glory or under it he will kindle a burning like the burning of fire in the light of israel now it says the light of israel shall become a fire and his holy one aflame now it's not just talking about a fire being being this object but it's talking about a fire being a person and the light of israel shall become a fire and his holy one a flame and it will burn and devour the thorns and the briars in one day you see why why do we need the fire of god in our lives because this says this this burning one this holy one that's a flame of fire that would burn the thorns and the briars in one day why is that significant why because thorns and briars hinder fruit what does he say you know he talks about the different types of soil jesus talks about the different types of soil and talks about you have this thorny ground and what does that thorny ground do it hinders 30 60 and 100 fold so i want to encourage is maybe there's some thorns and briars in your life that need to get burned up maybe there's some fire that needs to consume some things in your life that's keeping you from being fruitful maybe there are some things that are that are hindering us from stepping into the prosperity the success abundant overflow year of first year of restoration that we need allow the fire of god to consume out of our lives so this holy one that was going to be a flame of fire was going to be the one that would burn up thorns and briars in one day one day it doesn't need to take 20 years it doesn't need to take one year it doesn't need to take take take three months it can happen right now changes that you've been waiting to make for for so long i'm telling you it can happen in a moment when you get in and under the fire of god if you read the rest of this chapter you understand how this fire connects to the anointing and the anointing destroys every yoke and removes every burden that's verse 27 in this chapter the fire the holy one now let's go to matthew chapter 3. matthew chapter 3 thank you father verse 11 i indeed baptize you with water under repentance but he that comes after me is mightier than i whose shoes i'm not worthy to bear and he shall baptize you with holy ghost and with fire hallelujah wow see this is this is the fulfillment i believe of isaiah chapter 10 verse 17 this holy one a flame of fire he will baptize you he will immerse you with holy ghost and with fire whose fan is in his hand and he will thoroughly purge his floor and gather his wheat into the garner but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire meaning this fire wouldn't just come for the sake of fire coming but the fire would have a purpose now it's not just this this flaming one that's gonna say hey look at me no this flame this flaming one is gonna say don't just look at me receive me and allow it to change you because he is saying he will have the fan in his hand what does a fan do to a fire it makes it hotter it makes it hotter and he said he will thoroughly purge meaning meaning this fire is going to purge something this fire is going to get rid of some things this fire is going to cause you to be something that you've never been before this fire is going to purge the floor meaning it's going to it's going to give you a clean slate it's going to make some things brand new it's going to it's going to set something off on the incentive and it's on the inside of you and it says it's an unquenchable fire meaning it's a fire that can't be put out see this fire is meant to consume some things this fire is meant to change some things this fire is meant to to to to make things new you know hebrews chapter 12 i may go here later in the service but but but you know he talks about not 12 uh maybe it is 12. and he says that god is a consuming fire he's a consuming fire meaning when he shows up things are not to remain the same i'm telling you and we have to come to a place in the day and age we're living in where we need to allow his fan his fan to blow in our hearts where we allow his word jeremiah 23 that said his word is a fire and his word is like a hammer a fire you know throughout scripture and you have to look at things a lot of times from there's words that we'll use and and we may not understand totally what they were thinking about when they were writing it for instance if they use the word light our minds go to a light bulb we go to stage lights that we see here but when they saw light they could only take two things in the natural they could save light one was fire and the other was the sun and the sun is fire you see that was so when you see the word light written in scripture ultimately it's fire because that was their concept of light they didn't have light like you and i have light their concept of light was fire let's go to psalms 27 that the fire should never go out let's look at verse one the lord is my light in my salvation so you can say the lord is my fire and because he's my fire he is my salvation of whom shall i fear the lord is the strength of my life of whom shall i be afraid when the wicked even my enemies and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh they stumbled and fell the host should encamp against me my heart will not fear the war should rise against me and this will i be confident one thing have i desired of the lord in that will i seek after that i may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the lord and to inquire in his temple i i might have talked about this a couple weeks ago but but understand the lord is my light but when david's idea of light his idea of light was fire the lord is my fire and where did he go where was his one pursuit his one pursuit was the place where fire was to never go out one thing i have a desired and that will i seek after that i may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life and to behold the beauty of the lord and i was talking to our oldest son corey yesterday and and and he was talking about some things that resonated because i knew it was something i was going to talk about today and and the thing is is is he went in to see one thing but as he went in to see one thing he was able to see many things he went in for one thing one thing that will i seek after that i may dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life and what and to behold see behold to see and behold the beauty of the lord so as his pursuit was to see the one thing he was now able to see something so much bigger and see so often we're so worried and seeking after something that's temporary and that one thing is keeping us from everything but when if we just seek the one thing that we need to be seeking it will open us up to everything and see that's what when we seek the fire of god it opens up it opens up to everything else that we have need of it and it says behold the beauty of the lord that actually beauty of the lord means to see the brightness the brightness the the grandeur the excellency the amazing aspect of who he is and if you read the rest of this chapter it's all about he goes it's your faith lord i'll seek and this whole time while he's pursuing this one thing he closes it out and he says this one thing have i desired and that will i seek after he goes in and he says he goes i have feigned it and lest i see believe to see the goodness of the lord in the land of the living see all this is happening at the altar all this is happening from that one place of pursuit he hasn't changed places or position his heart was as i seek him at the altar where the fire should never go out that's where i am going to seek him and i will see the goodness of the lord in the land of the living the fire the fire everything i need is found in him david's passion directed david's pursuit david's passion directed david's pursuit and that pursuit brought him face to face with the lord his passion was one thing and that passion is what caused him to pursue and the pursuit cost him to see what are you pursuing in your life this morning what are you pursuing what are you going to pursue tomorrow what are you going to pursue next month next year thank you father your passions are directing you though either take you into greater things or take you into negative things let's go to matthew chapter 6. matthew chapter 6. thank you father thank you lord let's look just we'll just look at verse 22 right now it says the light of the body is the eye if therefore your eye be single your whole body shall be full of light if your eye be single therefore if your eye is single your whole body would be filled with light if your eyes single it's what i'm beholding doesn't determine what i'm filled with if your eye is single my whole body will be filled with light if my eye is single if i have one pursuit devorah that pursuit will cause me to be filled with light see it's what i'm pursuing that's determining it's my one pursuit that's going to determine whether i am experiencing in in encountering the fire of god in my life or if i'm letting the fire go out we live in a busy world we live in a we live in a visual society we live in a time where so many things are trying to gain our attention so many things that are trying to take our focuses so many things trying to take uh you know get us into arguments and division and and get us into so many things that that god never meant to us to to to worry about or even focus on but here he says if your eye is single if you're focusing on this one thing then as i'm focused on that one thing my whole body will be filled with light and the problem that we're facing is is we're in so much confusion because we're focusing on too many things what would cause a fight what would cause the fire to stop burning either distractions not making preparations no wood see we're so busy with so many things the thing is are we doing the things that are going to stoke the fire in our lives this might not be one of them jumping shout messages but maybe he will by the end you know i mean this was see god set the fire he started the fire it's up to it's up to you to keep your fire burning don't don't wait don't and people say oh yeah we we need revival we need revival well go you get revived i'm in different do my part i can't do what you're supposed to do yes sunday morning i'm blowing on those coals this morning i mean if if you weren't excited to come to the house of god this morning then that that's just a that's a that's a thermometer that just saying hey my wood's wet am i got a little smoking going on there might be a little thing there i mean these are there's things it's like i don't want to read the word that's that's a that's a that's a symptom of your fi you're losing your fire you you know you know what i i want to start listening to all these other things you know i used to listen to worship music and i'll start and what happens is as you usually get colder and colder and colder and colder and colder and you're like god why aren't you moving god why aren't you why aren't you showing up in my church because you're not showing up in church you might be showing up but you're not really showing up i mean you can be in the place but not be in the place so we have to keep the fire burning but we have to have this pursuit because our because our our passions are going to direct our pursuit so why is your fire going out because your pursuit probably hasn't been where it needed to be made things i'm not seeing the things that i that i'm wanting to see maybe because there's some things i shouldn't be pursuing i'm not saying sin and stuff like i'm just don't judge me i'm just saying we're all in this together and if we're going to be this church without spot or wrinkle he's coming back for a glorious church a church full of glory without spot or wrinkle or how we gonna get to a place without spot or wrinkle it's going to come because the fire of god makes it that way the fire of god is what's going to make us without spot or wrinkle the fire of god is going to purge and get rid of some things that don't belong amen pastor justin thank you lord. [Applause] yeah fire fall in this place thank you father let's go to john chapter 8. john chapter 8. say well pastor just give me something i can confess three times and make it happen john chapter 8 thank you father thank you lord you know jesus is writing um or john's writing here and he's given us some some really this history in the last little bit of time of jesus life and if you look at starting back in the end of verse chapter six to seven it's talking about the feast of tabernacles and it's a seven day feast and actually we're you know in the jewish calendar we're in that it's from the 20th to the 27th of september right now so we're in that time feast of tabernacles and and and so right before on that last day that's when jesus stood up and he declared if any man is thirsty let him come unto me and drink and he goes on and and he gets into chapter eight and you know they brought the woman caught in the act of adultery and he gets here in verse 12 of of rome of john chapter eight um john chapter eight verse 12 and says then spoke jesus unto them saying i am the light of the world he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life remember light light is not what you and i see but how did how did they how did when he said that word light what were they seeing they were seeing a torch in his hand they were seeing a fire at the end of a stake they were seeing a candle lit they they weren't seeing a flashlight they they weren't seeing lights on on a car they were seeing fire they were seeing some you know fire is living is breathing fire has movement fire consumes things fire is attractive fire draws things to it and here he's saying i am the fire of the world that's what he's saying he's i am the torch of the world and he that follows me followeth me shall not walk in darkness so if i'm following him then i'm not walking in things that are going to cause my fire to go out but as i follow him i'm as i'm following him and said my fire would never go out but i would have the light of life i would have the fire that produces life i would have the fire that produces life he that followeth me i am the light of the world i am the fire of the world and he that followeth me see this goes back to what david said one thing have i desired this this week we can relate this to matthew chapter six this this my eye being single and here he's saying i am the light of the world he that followeth me and you've heard heard me say this you've heard rick say this they didn't put t h at the end of a word in the king james to make you sound king james there's a purpose for that th and it means it's perpetual it means it's never stopping it's continual followeth meaning i'm continuing to do this i'm continuing to do this i have one pursuit and that's to follow jesus i have one pursuit to follow jesus he is the light of the world he's the fire of the world and i'm going to follow him and as i follow him joseph as i follow him i'm going to have the fire of life wow the fire that produces life the zoe of god the light of life you see when you have the fire that produces life it consumes death when you have the fire on the inside of you it consumes addiction it consumes wrong thinking it consumes wrong thoughts that's what the fire god is for it's for to bring you out of in of insignificance and bring you into something significant that's what the fire of god is for and as you and i as believers we're not to let that fire go out see that's why he needed the disciples to go to jerusalem hey you need to be baptized with the holy ghost but i love how how in it when john when john the baptist is saying this it's not just just one experience he says there's two things you're going to be baptized with holy ghost and fire it's holy ghost and fire wow say holy ghost in fire say this i'm baptized with holy ghost in fire [Applause] let's go to john 12. john 12. thank you father so verse 35 then jesus said unto them yet a little while is the light with you we read it this way yet a little while the fire is with you walk while you have the fire lest darkness come upon you for he that walketh in darkness doesn't know where he's going while you have the fire believe in the fire that you may be children of fire i love this yet a little while is the fire with you meaning this fire is only going to be with you a little longer but walk while you have the fire lest darkness come upon you for he that walks in darkness knoweth not whether he goeth now this phrase knoweth not where he goeth comes down to one word that we can destroy that that the the greek word comes down to one word and it describes it this way and this is the greek picture it gives and it's the word drifting the word drifting here means to be driven away slowly by water current or wind less darkness come upon you for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whether he goes so if you don't know where you're going what are you doing you're drifting and that's what too many believers christians and people in the world there's too much drifting see if you're drifting then you don't just have one pursuit if you're drifting you don't have one just one focus you're you're drifting and you're and you're being drifted by current and you're being drifted by wind what does ephesians 4 say it says you're being tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine and see that's what what's going on in the world and it says so walk while you have this fire with you walk white less darkness comes upon you darkness comes upon you meaning meaning if you're not walking with the fire then you're walking with darkness and if i'm not walking with the darkness i only have other something else i'm walking with only what the world has and if i'm walking what the world has then what am i doing i'm drifting and i'm being moved away by wind i'm being moved away by the currents and and what the media is saying what politics are saying what the doctors are saying what everyone else is saying when i need to be founded on this one principle that i follow jesus because jesus is the light of the world and he is the fire of god and as i follow him i have the fire of life so when i follow the fire it says this it says while you have the fire believe in the fire that you may be children of fire see you need to know what you're really baptized with do you really believe what you're baptized with because when you know it and you believe it it says you will be children of it children of light children of light see this is this is what what was god trying to do here see he was trying to get man back to what everything was in the garden you're like what does that have to do with it everything because what was adam and eve clothed with glory and honor which was fire the same thing that god's clothed with bible describes it he's fired from the loins up in the loins down revelations 22 says that that that the the light that comes out of the throne of god is fire and it's the sun you see when you when you take these out of well your children are the light and you're that and you understand no this is something so much more then uh if i walk in the light that i'm children of the light bless his holy name no yeah that's true but i'm just saying no women it's light it's light light affects things like changes things light destroys negative things light i mean scott and i were talking and they talk about things that destroy things ultra ultraviolet light destroys every bacteria and every virus you know that's the thing in instead of promoting things that just try to maintain a virus there's there's there's there's science out there that can that can destroy it with ultraviolet light i'm not going to get into all that but it might make people upset i'm telling you there's things out there there's things out there that destroy chronovirus just like that there's devices that destroy it just like that but we're trying to maintain it but there's things out there that have been created i'm not talking about medicines i'm not talking about i know i'm talking about that kills the actual virus ultraviolet light kills it fire we are the fire we are the children of fire the children of fire and what we're not to let the fire go out good to see we'll close with this maybe close with this second corinthians chapter six verse 14. be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers this is verse 14. for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness and what communion has light with darkness you see i think what do we what make our fire go out i think too much mixture too much mixture don't be unequally yoked together with unbelievers for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness in what communion has light with darkness and what concord hath christ with the devil or what part hath he that believeth in the infidel and what agreement hath the temple of god with idols for you are the temple of the living god and god has said i will dwell in them and walk in them and i will be their god and they shall be my people wow you are the temple of the living god you see when you receive jesus and the holy spirit came into your life he set the fire but let me ask you a question what are you doing with your fire because you are you are the temple of the living god and he i will dwell in them i will dwell in them he is the creator of fire he is fire wow i will dwell in them and walk in them i will be their god and they shall be my people wow but see the things that are going to hinder the fire are the things that i'm mingling my life with what are you communing with what are you fellowshipping with what are you yoked together with what are you in concord agreement with because i'm telling you see we have to get rid of those things so the fire can burn brighter and brighter brighter and brighter and the thing is is when you get in the fire and you come to you come to the altar and you encounter the fire he will consume the things that don't belong you know what happens it gets brighter and brighter and brighter you see what is going to cause the fire in our lives to burn brighter your sacrifice of your will what's going to make it burn brighter you surrender to his plan surrender to a better way surrender to a better life we present ourselves as living sacrifices holy and acceptable unto him remember that if there's no if there's no wood and there's no sacrifice you have no fire stand to your feet thank you father thank you jesus thank you father hallelujah thank you father thank you father thank you lord you receive this word today just lift your hands to heaven repeat this after me heavenly father i thank you for jesus i thank you for the sacrifice he's made i thank you for sending the holy spirit to baptize me with fire so i bring my life before you today as a sacrifice burn in me burn through me consume everything that doesn't belong i'm tired of drifting with the current of the world i desire to walk in the fire to believe in the fire because my heart father is to be a children set on fire and burn for you let's just wait on him for a moment oh uh and start to praise him oh father we praise you we glorify you lord let this not just be a message that we heard just this sunday morning but let it be something that burns within us let it be something that cleanses us let us be something that that that breaks every yoke and removes every burden let it be something that that continues long after this moment in second timothy chapter 1 verse 6 paul encourages timothy he says fan the flame fan the flame fan the flame oh so let's just pray in the holy ghost for a little bit he says this is why i will remind you to stir up rekindle the embers of fan the flame of and keep burning the the the gracious gift of god that inner fire that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands hallelujah he's saying go back timothy to when you had that experience when you were ordained in the ministry go back to that moment go back to that time and fan the flame fan the flame to that fire so for this first service you you have an assignment this week fan the flame pray in the holy ghost maybe get rid of some things we'll see how the lord directs but you know the fire fire does two things and he told me this years ago i think in 2007 he says justin fire does two things he said number one it consumes and the other thing it does it consecrates and so as depending how we may talk about that next week but we'll see thank you father you receive this word give them a shout of praise for the word thank you to the honor of the word honor you can be seated and let's prepare to receive the tithes and offerings yes pastor justin was ministering that i was reminded that as we come to the altar the altar should never be a place of fear it should always be a place to embrace and i think it's the when we spend time at the altar it's really cool uh how god totally cleanses us as we just come to the altar we may not know what's going on in our lives we may not know exactly what we need to get rid of but he does and as we spend time at the altar it's so important and i was dr savelle minister last last week and one of the things he talked about we're in a better covenant built upon better promises and the whole aspect of the altar that we have in jesus is uh is so much better than what they had to go through uh in order to obtain uh the cleansing that they needed in their own spiritual lives and through the blood of jesus we have a better covenant built upon better promises um i want to look at something real quick before we receive the ties and offerings in hebrews chapter seven as dr savelle said that we have a better covenant built upon better promises that's in chapter eight but in chapter seven he talks about tithing where melchizedek was concerned and uh he he gives us this real simple so let's look at verse six it says this i'm gonna read this from the new living translation and melchizedek placed a blessing upon abraham melchizedek placed their blessing upon abraham now melchizedek was uh you look back and i think even dr savelle said this last week this was jesus okay so uh we have a new covenant built upon brenner promises through the blood of jesus jesus forever being our high priest so when we come to the altar our altar is set before jesus himself so the altar that we come to that pastor justin was talking about this morning we actually have an invitation to come before jesus himself with our tithes and our offerings and every other aspect of our lives so it's not something to be uh fearful of because when pastor justin is preaching this you know the realization is there's things in our lives that need to be gone out of our lives and as if we'll just come to jesus he's always so gracious to adjust what needs to be adjusted in our life to burn what needs to be burned out of our life to refine and make stronger what needs to be stronger in our lives so coming to the altar to receive and allow the fire of god to penetrate and purify us to give us the fortitude that we need to obtain the things that he has intended for us to walk in where that blessing is concerned so you look at abraham here and he says this abraham and melchizedek placed a blessing upon abraham and i love this in the new living translation the one who had already received the promises of god faith always caused those things that be not as though they were abraham wasn't tithing to accomplish something he was tithing because something had already been done he already believed in the promise of the blessing of god on his life and he knew the covenant that we had with the god at the altar we know him now as jesus and he's bringing this to jesus recognizing you're the one that's given me this blessing it's already been placed upon me and i'm worshiping you where this is concerned look at this it goes on in verse 13 for the priest we are talking about belongs to a different tribe talking about jesus because the law is a levitical law tithing is not a law tithing was something that that abraham did because of the blessing that was on his life he was desiring to praise and worship god for what god had done and had promised in his life so we see here as we look at this he goes whose members have never served at the altar as priests so he's talking about jesus coming out of the tribe of what tribe the tribe of what judah what does judah mean praise but also thanksgiving judah means two things praise and thanksgiving so he's coming to he's coming to the altar he's coming to melchizedek who is also our high priest and he's saying look you did this we just took out five kings took them out totally and i'm giving you the glory i'm giving you the honor i'm praising you with it i'm thanking you for the battles that we've already won but also the promise on my life that i will be a blessing to all people of the earth i recognize the blessing that's on my life so i'm coming to you in this new covenant tithing is not an old testament law tithing was birthed out of a new testament covenant that wasn't even made yet it was before the foundations of the world god saw it before the foundations of the world jesus executed it for us so our tithe is a debt we owe it's a seed we sow you hear pastor justin say that from oral roberts so we see that what me what i mean is our lord came from the tribe of judah moses never mentioned priests coming from that tribe this new system was established with a solemn oath aaron's descendants became priests without such an oath but there was an oath regarding jesus for god said to him the lord has taken an oath will not break his vow you are a priest forever you and i have a priest that altar that pastor justin the priest jesus himself is waiting for us at the altar and he said he's going to say i'll cleanse you i'll get every rid of everything just just come to the altar just come worship me with everything that you have on the inside of me and i'll i'll loose you of all the things that are hindering you from obtaining the blessings that i've already provided for you this new i'm sorry because this shows jesus the one who guarantees this better covenant with god there were many priests under the old system but death prevented them from remaining in office but because jesus lists forever his priesthood lasts forever therefore he is able once and forever to save those who come to god through him let's come to the altar let's keep pressing in allowing god to remove things that need to be removed in our life so that we can receive all that he's paid for look at this he lives this is the third thing he lives forever to intercede for us to god for me and you as you and i come to jesus you come he is interceding for me and you he is looking at the heart of a man always and he's interceding on our behalf between god and us he sees the things that we're going through my blood covered that well you know with this over here in my life my blood covered that he's talking he's at the throne room of god almighty you and i are never going to do everything right but the blood of jesus perfected us when he went to that cross and he conquered death held in the grave for us and if we'll continuously come to the altar he'll remove those things without us even thinking about it it'll be like oh that's so easy that doesn't need to be in my life anymore that doesn't need to be there anymore jesus for is forever at the right hand of the father interceding on mine in your behalf what about the covenant about the new covenant built upon better promises and in this situation he's talking about the tithe isn't that so awesome so here we are and all god's saying is just bring it to me just let me do what i can do with it i can do so much more with it than you're doing with it right now just trust me with this trust the covenant the promise that i've made with you before the foundations of the world i've made a covenant with you that will bless you beyond your highest expectations dreams or desire i want to pour it all out on you trust me with it that's mine and your that's mine and your assignment is come to the altar you know what god may say you need to give a little bit more god may say you know what just start do this trust me with this whatever it is let god take whatever you're bringing to the altar today and do what only he can do only he can do the exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask copra thing allow him to show himself mighty on your behalf or your tithes and offerings are concerned amen let's pray father god we thank you for an opportunity to do so we love you and we bless you for giving us this opportunity we thank you jesus for being our high priest to watch you for watching over all our giving so that we can increase more and more for for your blood that's forever covered in the throne moon of almighty god that's paid for every one of our sins every one of our mistakes so that we can draw closer and be brighter and burn brighter with the fire that you paid for us to walk in burn bright in us where finances are concerned burn bright in us where finances are concerned let a fire be lit in us like pastor justin talked about this morning a fire in our finances a fire in our finances that it lights up everywhere we go and people recognize that the fire of gods on our lives where finances is concerned so that god can use it however he wants to use it we ask you this in the mighty name of jesus amen good morning if you're new here this morning welcome we're so glad you're with us you should have received a visitor card and if not
