Apr 17, 2021 - Can't Keep A Good Man Down (P2)

second part that we're doing and we're going to talk obviously about yeshua's resurrection so let's just get right into it john 20 verses one to two it says early on the first day of the week while it was still dark miriam from magdala look these are all bunch of jews you know i know this looks funny her name should be mary it was miriam she's from magdalene no she's from magdala the place is magdala it means tower it's no big deal i'm just saying it's it's it's hard for people to see it they're like i'm not used to that the whole thing was written by jews about jews i mean it's kind of you know it's the way it is went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb so she came running to shimon kiefer aka simon peter and the other talmid the one yeshua loved who's that how do we know because john setzo it's the gospel of john he loves me best it's like i always love that section in numbers you know moses is writing and then god says moses was the most humble it's really hard for me to write this god the most humble man that ever lived uh shimon keith and the other tell me the one yeshua loved and said to them and there's a quote they've taken the lord out of the tomb and we don't know where they've put him we because there was more than just her there was other women there right so it's the first day of the week there's no question about that every gospel agrees sunday right or the first day of the week and um miriam goes to the tomb before dawn so it's still dark and when miriam got there the stone had already been removed okay he was already gone and he was gone if you look in matthew 28 you can look 28 verses 1-6 he was gone before the stone was removed okay the stone wasn't removed so yeshua could come out the stone was removed so we can go in and go he's not here he didn't need the stone to be removed together too he's got in the flesh so she immediately you know she freaks and she runs to peter and john i mean these are two of his closest disciples now i need to mention to you what we should mention or you should mention just how faithful and devoted the women were women were not well thought of in the first century i mean it hasn't been that long that they even have the right to vote they haven't been well thought of and you got to realize there's this kind of reasons right abraham had what a son and then isaac had what two sons and then jacob had what 12 sons and a daughter right so it was like it perpetuated that way and you know they really prayed for sons it was like sad to have a daughter it was like oh you had a daughter really do you know a woman if she was an eyewitness to a crime if she was an eyewitness to a murder she could not testify in the court of law her testimony meant absolutely nothing you should know this because this was written 2000 years ago and if you don't know the 2000 year old culture this won't make sense to you so the man had forsaken the lord right the tough guys where were they gone just like when there's a prayer meeting they're hiding too they want a microphone they don't want to get on their face and pray there's no glory in that so the men had forsaken the lord and fled but the woman stood by and i don't know if you realize this they were putting their lives on the line it wasn't good to be a fan of yeshua at this point so let's move on versus three through four we're just going to go through the resurrection here in the gospel of john then kefa and the other talmid john started for the tomb they both ran but the other talmud outran kiefer and reached the tomb first um no one knows for sure why they immediately ran to the tombs they were hiding they were fearing for their life i mean their lives were in danger and i don't know what they were thinking but it probably wasn't the resurrection right think about it use some logic if they were believing in the resurrection why were they hiding in the first place so that's not why they ran to the tomb nope let's continue verses five through seven stooping down he saw the linen burial sheets lying there but did not go in then following him shimon kifa arrived entered the tomb and saw the burial sheets lying there also the cloth that had been around his head i don't know if you know but an orthodox judaism like my dad and other family members they're just buried in a pine box with a shroud around them in fact sometimes they'll put their tallied on them and they'll cut the tidzits meaning you know you know you're no longer responsible for obeying the commands it's ritual but they're in a shroud and they're in a pine box because we believe in death everybody's equal doesn't matter your status doesn't matter who you are doesn't matter your trophies your accolades how much money you have what car you drive how many homes you own how good looking you are none of it matters you're dead now you're going to be judged on something totally different the world judged you one way god's going to judge you a whole another way you got me that's success that's success yeah so the cloth that had been around his head lying not with the sheets it sounds very detailed but in a separate place like did we need that did we need that information um obviously we did because god wrote it and it's huge to me because there's this detail about this cloth around his head and it was added i think to show that the lord's departure was orderly and that he took his time i don't know if you know anything about thieves but the whole idea is you know when you're robbing a bank it's timed okay you're probably saying how do i know that um yes has nothing to do with my past but thieves the best thieves are quick they're in and out they have no time to mess around okay so if if if the body was stolen i mean just think about it what do they do in folding stuff seriously and separating it and then folding it neatly that's insane that is bizarre the fact is if someone stole the body he would not take time to carefully fold the claws no shot but anyway nobody uses logic today anyway right common sense common sense what happened to it it went out of style right it really did like that went cause common sense went out with customer service it also went out with you know not putting a dollar sign on everything you do like everything you do you think of money how much how much how much how much what do we got what's it gonna cost it's insane it's insane that that's how people live their life believers no less crazy crazy i'm wondering why i don't hear from god eight through nine then the other talmid who arrived at the tomb first also went in so he didn't go in right away and if you know anything about tombs you know they're very small they're not elaborate you have to bend down to get in okay they just you now to the side of a cliff usually and they're small very small he went in and saw and he trusted but here you go it says they had not yet come to understand that the tanakh that's the old testament it's just an acronym it's torah ketuvim and nevi it just means the first five books the writings and the prophets the whole old testament it's just the fancy little acronym that all jews know old testament okay it teaches that the messiah had to rise from the dead so they didn't know now why did they both have to enter the tomb that's my question again what's the detail who cares they both got there let's say just one entered wouldn't that have been enough for you would have been enough for me boom where where in the old testament come on it's got to be in the law so you know it's got to be in the first five books right see how you got to process thinking a little bit you just think you know well it can't be in isaiah it can't be in the prophets not in ecclesiastes it has to be in the law that was given to israel it's in deuteronomy 17 6. and let me just say this you can't accuse anybody about two or three witnesses you know you know the christian thing when two or three are gathered he's there and they say that about a prayer meeting has nothing to do with a brave meeting that has nothing to do with prayer whatsoever you're telling me i can't pray alone isn't that funny you've been saying that forever and has nothing to do with what you've been saying it has to do with if you're gonna accuse somebody okay you better have two or three people otherwise god's not there that's crazy right the torah's foundation you can't throw out the torah you can't throw the torah i mean that's insanity how can you do that it's god's law he didn't come to abolish it his laws just disappear now no laws let's have at it or make up your own laws whatever you want get rid of the feasts have new ones the new and improved feasts of leviticus 23 by the emerging church nonsense poppycock bulldish so they both had to enter because the evidence has to be attested by two witnesses so saying they did not come to understand the tanakh's teaching proves to me that verse proves to me that the disciples didn't make up the story to fit their preconceived notions of what was predicted because they didn't even believe it why would they make up a story or something they didn't believe they're totally in the dark about his resurrection they really are in more ways than one all right let's continue on verses 10 through 12 of chapter 20 of john it says so the talmudin the disciples returned home but miriam stood outside crying ah so beautiful in it as she cried she bent down peered into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting where the body of yeshua had been they lay them on a slab it's not like they put him in the ground in a in a mausoleum or a tomb there's a slip you know and they just lay the body on top of the slab it kind of looks like the top of like the ark of the covenant if you will ark actually there's a definition in the hebrew meaning coffin there's a lot to this like when noah went into the ark the ark of the covenant and this it's all tied into each other i'll show you in a minute um okay one in his head one in his feet now here we go this is kind of cool the disciples returned home but miriam and to me when i read that it depicts her undeniable love and devotion for yeshua they're they're at home they're like he's not here i don't know maybe somebody stole it maybe the romans took it maybe they burned it whatever we're going home not her no where is he where is he he deserves a proper burial i have spices tell me just tell me where he is i'm not here to cause any trouble i just want to give him the respect he deserves i guess he who has been forgiven much right she had lots of demons didn't she yeah it's so important to realize how much you've been forgiven if you don't start to realize it you're just not as good as you think and i'm not being derogatory and i'm not being mean it is essential that you know this so that god could be all the more higher and lifted up um she was sad because she thought that his enemy stole the body she adored him adored him really now i think it's worth mentioning the two angels because if you know the ark of the covenant right there was a cherubim on either side looking at each other and they were looking down their wings were touching they were covering it with their holiness and they were looking down on the mercy seat and what were they looking for they were looking for the blood and on the day of atonement for the forgiveness of all israel's sins the high priest would go in and put the blood down seven times which is spiritual perfection but if you're willing to let me push this thing a little bit and and you could you could declare that i'm spiritualizing i don't think so but it's you're entitled you're more than entitled um if you look at yeshua's wounds it was like seven different places you had the hands which are two the feet which are two that's four you have the head five the back lacerations were six and the spear is seven um you had an angel sitting on either side of them when they were looking down at the blood because you know who he is he's our mercy he's the very seat of god's mercy um verses 13 through 14 why are you crying they asked her she's not even amazed at the angels she could care less they took my lord she said to them and i don't know where they have put them as she said this she turned around and saw you she was standing there but she didn't know it was he all kinds of reasons i'll throw a couple out at you it was early in the morning light had not yet dawned yeah it's dark she didn't recognize him which is understandable right um also she's weeping continually so her vision is obviously clouded well maybe god just prevented her from recognizing him like he did with the two disciples on the road to emmaus i don't know and i'm not sure i care the bottom line is she did not realize that yeshua had risen nobody got the resurrection plot they only got the death part they only kept hearing them predict his death they didn't hear but on the third day it's like they stopped listening they just know he was gonna die and they didn't understand it like we want a messiah who's not gonna die we want a messiah who's gonna take the throne and put down our enemies because they are persecuting us and we're done you know take the throne they didn't get the concept of two messiahs they didn't get the concept of two comings they didn't really understand the prophecies in isaiah okay so um let's continue on verse 15. it says yeshua said to a lady why are you crying whom are you looking for thinking he was the gardener because it's a private garden of course she said to him and a wealthy man a wealthy man would have a gardener he's not going to be taking care of his own garden right anybody rich do their own landscape nope see is it sad that daddy's not rich he wouldn't have to do the landscape sir if you're the one who carried him away just tell me where you put him she's not being huffy she's she's weeping it's like please i'm just begging you i just want to prepare his body she still is she thinking resurrection if she was thinking resurrection why would she be looking for his body none of them got it i promise you we we're like how'd they not get it had those jews not get it you're 2000 is on the other side of it and you know what a lot of times you act like you don't get it don't be so harsh on them 2016 verse 16. you know go back to 15 for a minute i'm sorry my fault she didn't recognize him right and that's you know she's so sad she's so sad just imagine but you know what's sadder to me how often i mean the savior shows himself all the time and he's still not recognized you know willfully people blind themselves i'm i'm amazed by it really i'm just amazed by it okay verse 16. i just want to say i'm sorry yeshua said to her miriam you know miriam turning she cried out to him in hebrew roboni so she's still not calling him lord she's still calling him teacher right she's still just a disciple she respects him greatly he's a great teacher as far as she's turned the greatest teacher and also delivered her from seven demons i mean she's all in but still she's not calling them lord right unless this is wrong but i don't think so what i find that's so neat is even though she didn't recognize his face she knew his voice that's rich isn't it my sheep yeah yeah i don't care what he looked like all i need to know is his voice sadly miriam was still thinking about him like i said is the great teacher but this is going to change very soon verse 17 stop holding on to me so she obviously lunged at him which is understandable too right i mean if you thought a friend of yours passed away and all of a sudden they showed up i don't think you'd be standing there like wow that's cool where were you i mean you'd lunge right so she lunges she's in love with him she just grabbed on him like with everything you know with that like gi joe kung fu grip kind of thing she grabbed him hard it wasn't like no no she she lunged yeshua said to her stop holding on to me which is kind of weird yeshua said tell because i haven't yet gone back so he gives her the understanding he explains himself i haven't yet gone back to the father but go to my brothers this is the first time he refers to the disciples as his brothers and tell them that i'm going back to my father and your father which is huge but be careful just saying i'll tell you in a second to my god and your god just you don't want to hold on okay stop holding on to me so mary had known your shoe as a man that's how she knew him and she'd seen the miracles happen she didn't perform the miracles when he was bodily present okay so she concludes that if he was not with her physically she had no hope of blessing you follow the spirit was stuck in his body if he was in jerusalem right now he could not be in the galway and vice versa it was stuck in one place he had to go he had to ascend it was a big part of it death burial resurrection ascension return it's it's all part of the plan he had to go she didn't understand that so she was grabbing on just like the disciples when they were on the transfiguration mount matthew 17 and said let's build tabernacles because it's here they were used to that right the manifest presence of god in the holy of holies they didn't they didn't understand what we understand they didn't understand the indwelling of the holy spirit it was stuck in yeshua and that's not good you don't want to be stuck in some guy just like these guys that have the gift of healing what if they drop dead nobody's going to get healed and anyway why are they having crusades go to a dang hospital if you've got to get to healing oh you can't fake it there can you silly silly silly silly so he says i have to ascend so the holy spirit can come down okay because when it does when it does your heart my heart will know yeshua in a way that you could have never known him before no way no way because when the holy spirit houses your tabernacle you're nearer and dearer to god than you could have ever dreamed possible while living here on this earth it's amazing he says go to my brother first time like i said so some suggest they i'm telling you it's dangerous ground they try to belittle yeshua and they say so now the disciples and us were on equal footing right we're brothers you know your father is is my father right your god is now my god it's okay we're equal footing don't say that no there's a big difference so you ginormous different you know the difference is god is the father of yeshua from all eternity we're sons by adoption huge difference verse 18 last verse in john 20. miriam of magdala went to the talmudim with the news that she had seen the lord and that he had told her this so now she gets it right so it's amazing though because because of her great love i think and great devotion she really became the apostle to the apostles what an honor what a privilege so paul obviously also met the lord right not not the way the disciples saw him resurrected but he did have a meeting with the lord he met the lord right and so he was able to write things like this in first corinthians which was a for you know corinth was a crazy place that there's a word in the greek language that's named karanth semi which means debauchery just because it was such a crazy i mean crazy right you had guys in the church sleeping with their mother-in-laws and nobody doing anything you had people fighting well who do you follow i follow paul i felt there was factions fighting separations divisions sin wackiness abusive gifts hey welcome to the church of the 21st century same thing divisions churches starting churches starting across the street spiritual divorce well i'm going to take these kids i'm going to politick and take these kids and then i'm going to show you we're going to be bigger than you that's insidious that's like that's like what guys the father of all sins is pride and and rebellion is i i don't ask you to worship me serve me submit to me i could care less but you're going to put yourself in a lousy position when you don't submit to authority someplace god will take care of it you can't do it no more than a kid should rebel against their parents you crazy some of the way these kids talk to their parents like they're talking to their friends at the mall and you let them get away with it you think it's cute because you don't want to upset your relationship with them your relationship if they're talking to you like that your relationship is already upset the bible says honor that means almost worship your parents i mean get out of here the first time they do that you got to straighten that out man i'm not i don't know much about horticulture but i do know that when a tree gets mature and it's bent you can't bend it back so as soon as they start bending bend them back and i mean bend them if you know what i'm talking about bend them over and paint the back portrait ah just saying it's whacking they said in the last days that's how you know first timothy they were 2000 years old that kids would talk that way rabbi it's just not easy i'm a single parent i'll just hit him once then it's not right it's not right especially being listen i'm going to tell you something parents something that you should know and you should know it's by far the toughest job ever they're all different they have different personalities their pain hurts you worse than themselves they totally don't get it they totally don't understand it they're totally in the dock on parenting until they become a parent they cannot understand till they have one a lot of times it's thankless it's painful sleepless nights things you don't understand how did this go awry so don't be too hot on yourself don't do the woulda shoulda coulda you did the best you could with what you had in the situation you were in leave it alone okay first corinthians 15 13 through 14 it says if there is no resurrection of the dead so he's talking about resurrection of the dead as opposed to resurrection from the dead meaning yeshua then the messiah has not been raised and if the messiah has not been raised then what we have proclaimed is in vain also your trust is a name this is awful this is this is the foundation when we're not necessarily saved by his resurrection per se was saved by the blood is death but if there's no resurrection we've got nothing i mean literally nothing nothing nothing it's said if if this was true then the corinthians would have been living in hopeless gloom i mean i don't know if you've ever been hopeless but it's it's as dark as it comes if yeshua didn't rise from the dead then there could be no salvation as i said but wait you just said you were saved by his blood yeah but if he shouldn't rise from the dead then there would be no way of knowing that his death had been any greater value than any other person's death it'd just be hearsay right you see what i'm saying of course look at the 19th verse of first corinthians 15 great chapter unbelievable chapter if it is only for this life that we have put all hope you know how people say that you try to get all these ways to witness the people you ever see how you do it you know how bad you why you get great results because you're going well if it's not true then at least i live the better life if it's not true if it's what did you say you're a believer did you just say what i think you said well if it's not true at least i lived a a decent life i think about your life that's crazy talk you have to let people know with beyond the shadow of a doubt okay that if they refuse to embrace this great gift that god gave they will spend the rest of eternity in hell period where there is no love where there is no light and it doesn't matter how much they like you or not if you leave out that part you are being very unloving and if you don't believe that the heck are you doing being a believer what's the point well at least i have some sense of security it's fake but it gets me through the day what's that your drug the resurrection is your drug get out of here man you've got to preach that part of the story you must if it is only for this life that we have put our hope in the messiah it's not he's not saying well at least you had a decent life you know you're a good husband you're upstairs he said that you would be more pitiable than anyone now look at the word you'd be more miserable you'd be more miserable than anybody else pitiable is different than pity it's lamentable and contemptuous pity misery misery if this were true if there was no resurrection then guys would be hopeless tormented and wretchedly miserable and some of us feel this way because we're really not convinced can you imagine all the martyrs throughout the century 60 to 62 million people giving up their lives for a hoax that's all this would be you want to talk about the deception of all deceptions this is it but if it is true then we'd be crazy hopeful crazy hopeful we'd be del not happy deliriously happy and we would feel blessed beyond measure if it's true first corinthians 15 20 but the fact is that the messiah has been raised that's what he's telling he's like listen i met him okay i don't know you guys have messed up you guys are all messed up you're living like it's not true it's just it's a fact he has been raised the first fruits of those who have died look the faith took root in jerusalem why would you do that if it wasn't true let it take root somewhere in the diaspora you don't want to talk about a hoax where the hoax took place because it's so easily refutable it just hopes don't work like that if the body was still in the tomb then this would have been utterly impossible to speak of it would have worked all you got to do is exhume the body put them on display expose the hoax faith over it's easy you got people speaking about it right away end it the jewish leadership are upset the romans are upset so end it put it on display man dead body dead faith but they panicked because they couldn't put the body on display so when people panic they gotta fabricate lies there's three myths i want to tell you about i'm sure you know because if you've been here i went over them a few years ago i i love these myths because it just goes to show you how stupid smart people are the first myth is the stolen body theory look at matthew 28 11-13 as they were going some of the guards went into the city and reported to the headquarter name everything that had happened then they met with the elders the khanim the priests and the sanhedrin and after discussing the matter well you know what are we going to do they gave the soldiers a sizable sum of money and said to them quote tell the people his disciples came during the night and stole his body while we were sleeping now there are people believe it or not in the theological world that argue who the who the guards are because you had temple guards who guarded the gates of the old city for the great synagogue and you had roman guards um both of these were elite you're talking about navy seals and delta force you're not talking about some schlemiel with the spear you're talking about the elite forces okay and if you do a study which i have nothing better to do um they were responsible for six feet three by two that was their area and they had 16 guards now the tomb is in a cliff so you don't have to guard from behind the cliff you can't get through the cliff just the door 16 guys one guy slept one guy was awake now i think they were roman guards personally because they put the roman seal a seal authenticated that there's a body in there the seal the king seal the amber seal there's a body in there and you better protect it that seal's broken you die and you get burned in uniform it's intense i mean think of this theory this elite roman guard the seal the tomb the two-ton rock four thousand pounds the guy's dead crucifixion kills you and they say the disciples these scatty cats that were nowhere to be found stole the body you know what maybe crack was around back then too i don't know for me that explanation raises more questions than answers one why were the soldiers sleeping when they should have been on guard two how could the disciples roll the stone away without waking them be very very quiet with the 4 000 pound three how could all the soldiers all 16 of them fall asleep at the same time simultaneously four if they were asleep how did they know the disciples stole the body five if the story was true why do the soldiers have to be bribed to tell it and last but not least six if the disciples had stolen the body why had they taken so much time to remove the grave clothes and fold the cloth around your shoes head you're kidding me right okay i got one better for you the swoon theory have you heard this one they're the ones that are swooned to even come up with this they're wasted others have suggested that yeshua did not die but swooned away they say he just lost consciousness have you have any of you seriously from a medical perspective especially you doctors you really should study the crucifixion a guy wrote a paper out of emory a brilliant surgeon it's about 50 pages i once read it many moons ago there's no way he lost consciousness and resuscitated somehow and came forth there's no way before you're crucified it's halfway death you have professional electors these are professionals at torture they know exactly how far to go to get you to halfway and then they finish you off with the crucifixion and they had a big stone rolled against this tomb and it was sealed with the roman seal of the roman government no man on the inside of that tomb could roll back that stone which was on an incline and filled itself in a deep groove especially after being crucified the fact is guys he didn't come out of the tomb and anemic invalid the simple truth is that the resurrection is a well attested fact of history brilliant brilliant some of the most brilliant lawyers will attest to it because of the evidence not because they believe in yeshua and that i love that all the more and last but not least what about the wrong tomb theory have you heard this one uh-huh they hear me out on this one so it's also been suggested that the women went to the wrong tomb right there in a state of flux they're nervous and scared and they're not in their right mind would you miss the tomb of your best friend from friday to sunday i mean the cemetery of joseph arimathea was his private garden he was rich there were no other tombs there except for that one how do you miss that you've been to jerusalem it's a small place now let's say there were other tombs there which they weren't but let's just say for argument's sake and suppose the women with their tear-filled eyes stumbled around and went to the wrong tomb okay let's grant that for the women but hard-fisted simon peter and john two fishermen who were not crying mind you they went to the wrong tomb too but more than that when they got to the tomb and found it was empty there was an angel who said he is not here because he has been raised just as he said come and look at the place where he left do you think the angel went wrong to him too brainy men advance these theories that's why intelligence i mean it's okay you got a high iq so yep thank you educated fools that was said by judy shockley by the way if you're watching online all you phd's watching online but then there's the the best evidence is eyewitness testimony and i just want to give you a list i'm not going to go over it this is just something for you to study he presents himself to mary magdalene he presents himself to the women he presented himself to peter to the disciples on the road to emmaus to the disciples except thomas to the disciples including thomas to the seven disciples by the sea galley to over 500 believers and to james come on come on that's not like to one guy last but not least what about good old-fashioned logic what about the change in the disciples behavior after the crucifixion they all hid for fear of their lives yes peter even denied knowing him while he was being beaten after the resurrection they all came out of hiding boldly proclaiming the resurrection of yeshua boldly do you see that the change in a few days not years later i'm hiding i'm afraid i'm not even there they weren't even there hiding and now all of a sudden they come out boldly proclaiming i mean peter the rock became a pebble only become a boulder when he saw yeshua what about paul this guy was the vicious persecute of the faith killing people he becomes the apostle to the gentiles how do you change like that unless you lost your mind you're killing jews for believing yeshua and you go to proclaiming yeshua as the messiah to the gentile world guys what kind of sense does that make another thing that you should know that the torture of believers in the first century was as brutal as it comes they burn believers on stakes they impaled them and burned them to light up for their parties i mean disgusting stuff stuff that's so evil and awful we have multiple eyewitness accounts written from highly regarded historians who record and testify to these brutal and unspeakable blacks everybody knows yeshua was killed everybody knows about these unspeakable acts of violence and torture that will perpetrate against believers in the first century but in all that in the thousands and thousands of accounts there is not one account not one written account of anyone renouncing their faith in the face of such persecution has everybody lost their mind on the penalty of death this is a phenomena explain it to me how are you going to convince 12 guys to give up their life for a lie how could you who could do that it's so ridiculous guys the greatest foundation stone of our faith is the historic evidence of the resurrection of yeshua here here on this on this stone you and i can stand and should stand and do battle for the faith because we have a situation that cannot be contradicted it can be denied but it cannot be disproved it cannot you have to guys i'm praying for you to resurrect your faith some of you are still in it you're in it you're kind of faithful you come you still kind of pray not with any of them a vigor not when you believe that they're going to come true you read your bible just because you think it's some amulet and it's going to do something for you if you just read it you try to stay faithful as best as you can but you're wore out tired and you either want to give up on your life or yeshua either come or i'm done the bible said that satan would wear out the saints in the last days i understand the society is wearing on you you don't think it wears on me you think you think i have some special cone of protection around me i refuse to give up and because i refuse to give up the lord will keep meeting me even when i'm down and out he will revive me we need revival not national revival not messianic jewish revival we need individual revival and we need it every day one little revival bringing a guy in for his little dog and pony show for five days revival week bible week whatever the heck you want to call it where everybody gets all pumped up or going on a retreat you know vacations they end and you got to come home and clean the house again you need this revival every single day you need to speak these things and stay convinced you must you must believe these things because they're true and they're life-giving and life preserving look i know you guys like secrets i know not too many people are good at keeping them it's very hard to find a confident these days it's almost impossible you tell somebody something and they know they're not supposed to tell it to anybody else but why do they tell it because they want you to know that they have a special relationship with me or whoever else he told me something that nobody else tells me guys you're awful i can only tell byron stuff almost because she's a really good confidant and then i have a couple of friends but listen to me some of you like well i just told my wife you might as well tell the telegraph telephone telegraph tell your wife or your husband some of you men are bigger gospels than than women just shut up but i'm going to tell you a secret that i want you to gossip and gossip it to yourself on a regular basis okay first corinthians 15 51 52. look i i'll i told you i'll tell you a secret not all of us will die and he didn't say it like that not all of us will die it's an exclamation point but we will all be changed and say it like that we will all be it will changed but a moment just like that just like that you know how long it takes stuff to happen today try to get something done there's so much red tape there's so much bureaucracy there's so much nonsense so much record keeping it's insanity they're driving us crazy well they're trying to but this now when god wants to do something done done the blink of an eye at the final shofar for the shofar will sound and the dead will be raised to live forever and paul says to them we too those living we too will be changed not all will die not all because some will be living when yeshua returns will be alive when you should return some of us then after us picture this millions and millions it's hard to believe right i know you got to believe it you have to believe it by listen to me you want to be blessed of the lord then believe you can't please god without faith you want to know what turns god on what turns him on faith faith blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe that blesses him it blesses him but i just gave you some theories some myths i gave you evidence it's not like you're believing in just nothingness you're believing in something legitimate millions and millions that have been decaying in the dust for thousands of years shall spring up in a moment into life if you don't believe that what are you doing what do we have we have the world attacking us we have the enemy attacking us we have other church members attacking us who could deal with that if there's no blessed hope i told the young man who lost his dad i said i lost my dad at that age and i know you want him back for a weekend you just want him back for a weekend you're going to have him back for do you have any idea how long forever is do you have any concept not like ten years today ten years is so long young people that they're they have no concept of time because everything is so instantaneous and gratifying that they think 10 years ago was old school old school oh you're married 25 years how did you do it you're talking about forever it's very very long what a tremendous moment it will be when the earth and the sea give up the dust of all those who have died faithfully over the centuries when yeshua says in revelation i told you why didn't you believe me what reason did you have to not believe who was telling you to doubt it first corinthians 15 54 55 when what decays puts on imperishability and what is mortal puts on immortality then this passage in the tanakh will be fulfilled then this passage will be fulfilled death is swallowed up in victory death where is your victory death where is your sting if we believe this it's a big if what are death the grave and decomposition in the presence of such power it's hard to believe at times because we're so holding on to the here and now everything is right here if i get just well five more years and then i'll retire and then if i have enough to put away and then if i make it to 85 and you're holding on to nothing fleeting junk how do you compare that i'm showing you a d flawless diamond and you're showing me a cubic zirconium and you want me to look at that it's almost as if when they rise they'll sing this song to mock death yeshua's death is the death of your death death stung itself to death at golgotha so death who's afraid of you this truth is not just true of yeshua's resurrection but it's a guarantee of all resurrection if god accepts the first fruits he has to accept everything attached if god accepts the barley he has to accept the wheat if god accepts yeshua he has to accept us but it's not like we get him on a technicality he wants us isaiah said it pleased the father to crush the son god is love he is not sadistic because he would see his offspring that's you isaiah prophesied about it and yeshua gave his life up for you and for me so that we could be with them forever in a place that is full of love and full of light and full of goodness and full of glory and full of blessing [Applause] i see i see the hospitals full i see the mental wards full i see i know and i know some of you and it's not a horrible thing sometimes when you when you just get overwhelmed by life and you wonder is life worth living life is worth living for everyone it's a gift because anybody can be saved and live forever but for the believers life is definitely worth living because if you give up on your life then we lose we lose some of god's spirit and you leave and the world gets darker even some of us that struggle in our faith you're a testimony because you're still here even for you that are sitting in saying you have no idea how much i'm struggling but you're here give yourself some credit you're here you're still praising god through your tears and you're still praising god even though you don't have all the answers and you still know in your heart of hearts you love the lord don't let the enemy ever tell you you know how many times the enemy tries to highlight the things i do wrong and god says you get so much more right than you get wrong why are you listening to him how bad do you think peter felt he was the rock there was another disciple like him do you have any idea how tough he was the elite temple god the navy seals are coming after me he's a fisherman and he draws his sword and wields it and cuts off the high priest servant's ear you think he was aiming for his ear he didn't know how to wield the sword he was aiming for his head like that was his ear but think of how tough he must have been just spontaneously and just you not take you think you you take it you got to go through me the temple guard the roman guard do you know how he felt the gospel of luke says when he denied them the third time they locked eyes it's not like he was somewhere he was right there they locked eyes and yeshua looked at him with those divine eyes and looked deep into his soul how do you think peter felt how would you feel do you want to talk about a guy who thought life wasn't worth living you think he went out fishing because he wanted to catch fish do you think he was hungry or you want to throw himself off the boat there's no question in my mind that peter was giving up on life he was absolutely positively wanted to commit suicide at that point no question and when yeshua came purposely to restore him what did he want to know that's all he asked now what did he say you know everything why are you asking me you know i love you why did peter have to say that because peter had to know because peter was thinking i don't i can't look what i did i don't love you some of you do certain things you i can't love you and the enemy goes you call that love you call yourself a disciple are you kidding me you're disgusting i'm surprised god wouldn't even want to talk to you you need to know you love god everybody in this place knows they love god and you can't let the enemy know more than you can tell me you don't love burn get out of here you don't love your kids i get the heck out of here just like you're not gonna tell me i don't love god nope because i know when i love something like i said i might be a sinner but i'm no hypocrite and either of you for that matter don't entertain it god's never asked you to be perfect he asked one person to be perfect mission accomplished it is finished [Applause] now look i just want to say this it's it's not a performance for me never was and never will be i don't claim to know what i'm doing and i'm okay with that i really am guys really really am i promise you i love you i my prayer all morning my prayer all morning before i get out of bed i'm praying i pray before i get out of bed and my prayer is god be glorified and then i say i say i mean it yeah i would like to do good by you but more importantly than me doing good is your glory and then god bless the people some of them are coming in heavy some of them are ready to give up they feel like throwing the millstone around their neck and toss themselves god i'm begging you bless them what about you i'll be blessed i'm sure of it i know you work you be glorified and the people let them be blessed if you have not made a decision if you haven't come before god honestly guys not playing around and you have not said i'm sorry for all that i've done i want you to wipe my slate clean i want to start anew if you have not done that then understand god is not sending you to hell he is honoring your request you will be apart from him for the rest of your days for an eternity your resurrection is not an option no more than your birth was an option no more than your death is an option everybody will die here unless yeshua comes back before your death and your birth there was no decision for you it was the decision was made for you you will resurrect every soul will resurrect and there's only two places to spend eternity the issue i have with some people is that they think i'm doing certain things i'm living with my girlfriend right now and i'm not ready to give that up god will work on it you can't do this yourself if you could do it yourself then you would need him you could be righteous in your own behavior it's not possible it's a process nobody just gives up everything because everybody in here the most mature believers are still sinning i bet you everybody in here has a love of money everybody likes money nobody's ready to sell everything they have to give it to the poor so what does that make us all sinners if you haven't made that decision don't screw around and if you're not willing to make that decision then at least give me the benefit of the doubt to explain why not i would like to understand someone being that foolhardy if you have made that decision and you're squirming don't squirm you made the decision it's done don't keep jerking around with yourself going well am i really born again how do you not know that how do you got no not know that i used to lay on my bed and process evil and how to perpetrate it i lay on my bed and process the lord and how to perpetrate that so it's a change have i arrived the great paul didn't arrive after 10 years he still said he hasn't arrived so if that's you please come see me afterwards and let me pray with you i don't need you to come running up or come walking up i don't need that but i need i need to see some legitimacy if somebody says to me rabbi i want to be saved my question would be save from what last but not least i want to tell you something the lord told me hopefully it'll encourage you things are not coming apart they're actually coming together 2020 was somewhat of a year of darkness you remember i said it was going to be a very i didn't know what the heck i was talking about that was january i had no idea what i was saying 2020 was somewhat of a year of darkness where satan flourished or so he thought going forward god is preparing the remnant to rise up once again satan is going to be miserably surprised yes folks the church is being deconstructed no question and disestablished and disenfranchised but at the very same time the remnant is being built up rooted in and soon to be empowered [Applause] as things get darker the remnant shall get brighter and god shall bestow gifting and power on us the likes of which we have never ever seen once again the true body of messiah shall rise up and once again become a force to be reckoned with my humble advice is threefold stay very close to god in these days don't let things interfere don't serve other gods don't worship anything but the lord stay very very close to god put away all your idols whatever they are just destroy them and last but not least if you really want to get close to god in these last days ask god in your prayers for a burden for the lost we have lost that burden the church has become a lost church she does not cry for the lost anymore maybe a relative maybe his son and daughter i've been praying that lately i have a resurrected prayer about that for the lost i do i used to cry for them being honest all the time and i kind of stopped when i got into professional ministry and missions and doing all kinds of stuff but i'm getting back that burden again i'm starting to see people in the park with flames around them i want to get back to that place because before you could be a winner of souls you have to be a weeper of souls we have fell prey to dry eyed christianity we want the gifts but not the giver yeshua had one mission he came to seek and save the lost and although i know they're not listening keep go keep putting it out there because they're going to be listening very soon things are about to fall apart like never before and they're going to see you standing and praising and they're going to want to know what you have you're not going to have to seek them they'll be seeking you let's stand together not that it's important by no means but i love you guys i really do i do and something i don't love as much as your children but um yeah your kids are just um unbelievable they're so sweet and it makes makes my week when i see them and all of them that give me hugs it's the greatest thing for me i don't know it's just the greatest thing so i appreciate you bringing them and i appreciate the way you're raising them you know i really do means a lot and i'm proud of you i know what some of you go through because you tell me it's heavy i've been through it myself you know i've been through plenty and it's heavy it's overwhelming and there's times you wonder where god is and it's it's very real you know it's rough but i promise you that you don't cry alone psalm 56 says that there's a bottle everybody has a bottle in heaven and everybody has a name on it and every tear doesn't hit the ground i promise they all go into a bottle with your name on it he catches him you know what the beautiful thing for me is my bottle when he comes again he's going to smash it because i'll never cry again now may the lord bless you and keep you may the lord make his face to shine upon you and be graced unto you and may the lord lift up his countenance on you and give you peace in the end of the principle of peace yeshua evil [Music] god bless you shabbat shalom
