don't have Bibles you can go to our Bible our website rather at wwu BC Church org once you get to our website you'll see these tabs across the page at least under the border the top of the page there you see one of them say online Bible you want to click that tab that'll bring up a page it's got a box in the center of the page with the drop down arrow you want to click that arrow and it a drop down a menu that's populated with the different books of the Bible obviously you want to select Leviticus and right beneath that you want to select chapter number one that way you'll be able to follow us verse perverse Amen folks you know how important it is to be with the right Bible and we to receive the word of truth truth is becoming scarce today truth people are trying to disregard God's truth people are trying to put it to the side they're coming up with another interpretation of what God meant and that interpretation is meant to cater to your flesh I can't stress enough how important it is for you to be versed in the Word of God these days you don't want to leave God's truth to another man you want to be able to take the the Holy Spirit the holy text you want to be able to read it you want to be able to pray acts God - through His Holy Spirit open up your understanding to his word amen don't leave God's truth to another man men have the potential to deceive to put their point of view across so that men themselves can be glorified God's Word will glorify God you will be blessed with the understanding of how to glorify God through his word of truth so what am I saying make sure you have a Bible make sure you have the right Bible and so if you're not able to as you are following this Bible study if you are not able to follow verse perverse because you're not you're driving it's ok but make sure when you get time that you go back home and that you go over this for yourself to make sure that what's written is what's being spoken amen and make sure that as you pray you pray for the understanding so that as what's being taught to you today it should line up with God's truth but in case it doesn't at least you prayed about it and you have understanding to where you can catch the mistake if you will amen so that's important and that's all part of having your own relationship with God amen don't have the pastor's relationship with God your mother's relationship with God or your father or your neighbors have your own walk with God so that when we all come together in Bible study you you know you walk with God enough to know that that God lets you know in your spirit that ain't right hey man so anyway we won't spend too much time on that now we bless God for bringing us through another landmark I call the landmark another barometer if you will this Thanksgiving holidays days to be thankful I can't tell you this much the things that God has done for us our gratefulness should not be defined and or summed up in just one day we are grateful all the days long amen every day all day but even in as these days come come forth and we are grateful we still see calamity we see chaos we see a coldness people are cold people they're serving God and mammoths you know going to these stores and fighting and killing and robbing so that they can get the best deal so that they can save a few dollars folks these are the days and times to be prayerful to walk with God and not be deceived you got to have a prayer life you want to make sure that you are praying and and even as you are praying there will be those things that are going to try you why because you are still light in the world that's that is increasing in darkness the children of God represents the children of light do you understand that you represent light that means people darkness will try to put your light out if you will lay man so you got to make sure that you stay prayerful the light in us is the light of Jesus Christ he's the light of the world amen and it's powered by his father's Holy Spirit amen nevertheless there's going to be some times to where you have to just break out in spiritual warfare and that's when you go in and and and bring others into your spiritual fight because we wrestle not against flesh and blood right so our battles have to be done a little different our battles have to be done in the spirit amen things that are happening in a natural always happens in the spirit first if you will right I mean think about one good God formed the planet as he brought it in to its being he was a spirit that called forth the creation of the world to come forth in the natural amen so from what was one spirit came forth in the natural to be it was in God he's seeing what he wanted to have done he called it he he said this is this is the way I want it he put it on out there so what's done and the Spirit comes for us they're natural when we see people acting the way they are times the way they are these are things that are manifesting itself right so you're warfare can't be natural to where you want to pick up guns knives weapons cus Ahmadi out with your tongue your warfare have to be done on your knees in your in your prayer closet that's your command post and and when you the bigger the battle of the more people you want to bring in on it that's where we come in that and I don't want to keep you too long with our formalities but folks you may need people to pray with you but you should always be praying for yourself and for others but there may be those times that you need people to pray with you and that's where we come in go to our website look for the prayer request tab click on that prayer request I'd better bring up a page that will allow you to fill out your confidential information once you fill

not least folks before we get into our Bible study concerning leviticus let's go over our UBC declaration of purpose and this is the work this is what the Word of God says that we are and this is how we are to be as the children of the Most High God if you agree we agree with me you'll find this very uh you'll find these scriptures on our website under UBC declaration of purpose I am the righteousness of God a royal priesthood a peculiar people created by God and His Word because I was created in the image and the likeness of God and are now conformed to the image of his only begotten Son the Lord Jesus Christ I will say what I do and do what I say all my steps in this Christian walk will be devoted to excellence in loving all my brother and those known and unknown serving the will of God just as is done in heaven and having all faith in God believe in God for all things written and petition because I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me I will do the two things that are known to do I will love the Lord our God with all my heart in Word and in deed and I will love thy neighbor just as I love myself I would let God assign me to rest just I see a sign me to first amen amen well I won't keep you any more with our formalities we'll get right into our Bible studies I know it's been a while those of you that have subscribed to us by way of you too we welcome you those of you that I've been here since the beginning thank you for staying with us and allowing us to be part of your Bible studies now I've already prayed over this before the recording started I prayed over it I've gone before God of Acts and for its wisdom for the power of his teaching that he be glorified and that lives are changed today tomorrow if this is played next month or next year that the same power that's being taught today is displayed every time this video is played also I believe that the Holy Ghost is the one that sanctioned this whole thing called this to be this is a feast the table is spread the the word I believe is the bread of God I'm nothing but the server amen so without any further delay we'll get right into it again today we're going over Leviticus this is Leviticus chapter one this is also considered to be the third book of Moses this is also a continuation of Exodus amen and you if you if it's been a while since you've been familiar with the things that were happening in Exodus you might want to go back and and read it yourself or check out our previous recordings so beginning at chapter one verse one of Leviticus and the Lord called unto Moses and spake unto Moses out of the tabernacle of the congregation now if you remember in Exodus the tabernacle remember Moses went in of around a twenty fourth chapter or so God called Moses up to the top of Mount Sinai and Moses spent forty days with God and he was able to I believe it was 40 days 40 nights that he spent with God and he was able to see that the way that things were fashioned in heaven and God gave him God had given him a blueprint if you will of things that he wanted made here on earth God wanted to dwell with the children of Israel and in and so God says okay for me to dwell with for me to dwell with you with the children I need you guys to make a tent of meetings and the tabernacle so the tent of meetings was this big tent like structure that was in the middle of this huge tabernacle amen you'll find all that in Leviticus amen so here says that God spoke to Moses out of the tabernacle of the congregation and here's what he said he says in verse 2 speaking to the children of Israel and say unto them if any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord you shall bring your offering of the cattle even of the herd or of the flock now it's in men too to worship God the problem is what man's idea of God is Very's understand so at least with the children of God he wants them he wants them to it's in them to worship God but he wants to guide them on the way to worship God because if he didn't guide them if he didn't let them understand how to properly worship because all he's doing is addressing their desire to worship if he didn't properly address it if he didn't a guidance to the way that he is to be worshiped they will be around here taking their kids and throwing it into the flame thinking that's pleasing and acceptable to die now it is in men to worship the problem is it's what man deems to be God for them or to them people worship money okay and and this is why God says you can't serve God and Mammon because people deemed to be their God they look at money as that and people worship money and what how do they worship money they go and make more and make more make more make more of it to the point that that's they're consumed with with with the money some people are consumed with electronics and whatever is your whatever is in your heart that's your treasure you understand what I'm saying and it becomes that's all you think about that's and you're not happy unless you get more of it and truth be told the more that you get the more you want because that God that you've made your God rather it cannot it cannot please you it cannot curb your appetite do you understand and so when people have this lust for money that they decide to make into their God all they can see is more of it all they can see is just getting more because of what they're able to get in this case dealing with the children of Israel God is adding guidance to what's already inside of them to do amen so this is what's going on when we start to go into the Book of Leviticus he is saying this is the way that you properly worship this is how you do it so he starts off by telling Moses to tell the children of Israel number one ain't nobody gonna force you to give anything number two if you're going to give something this is what you give and this is you give it Amen so he goes on to say here in verse two he says speak unto the children of Israel said to them that if you bring me an offer and bring the offering from your cattle that it's gonna be the herd or of the flock he says if you he says if if his offering be a burnt offering of the herd let him offer a meal without blemish now when you think about herds you tell thinking about bull the the bulls the Rams when you're thinking about when you're thinking about the flock you're thinking about your sheep thanks to that that you know your goats or sheep things like that that's the difference between the two here so he says if it be of the hurt he says if it be a burnt sacrifice of the herd let him offer a meal without blemish he shall offer it of his own voluntary nobody is gonna buddy is gonna force you to do this why because God don't want a relationship off a protocol ya understand what I'm saying he don't want a relationship with you out of ordinance having to force you to do something he wants you to love him enough to come and do it he's not gonna force you to give up anything he wants you to love him enough just like he loves you he wants she wants it to be reciprocal so nobody should be twisting your arm and saying that you need to do this so he says make it a burnt he said if it be a burnt sacrifice which means the person say you want to give a bull or a young Bullock or young bull to God the burnt offering and in the scriptures are going to cover it more but I said speaking of it right now we're defining a little bit the burnt offer is actually called the whole burnt offering and what that means is what whatever they bring to God that's considered to be the whole burnt offering they're not going to take a portion out of it for the priest that whole thing will be consumed by fire all night long the whole thing of course they're going to skin it don't get me wrong they're going to skin it we're going to read the third they're going to clean the it cheston's and all that but all the pieces with the exception of the skin all the pieces here is going to be put on this brazen altar and it's going to be burned and the whole thing is going to be consumed by fire and it's supposed to release this sweet aroma to God it is a person's total and it represents somebody's total commitment to God it's called the actual it does it's actually called the whole burnt offering because that whole thing is being burned and there's not a portion being left behind for the priest amen so going on with this in verse 3 if the offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd let them bring it a meal without blemish again this is representing your total commitment with God right so if you're going to give God don't be like Cain remember what Cain did Cain gave God the Scriptures talk about the fruit of ground he probably found uh you know let's just say hypothetically I'm not saying that this is the case maybe he could have seen an apple on the ground and it was rotting and had apples in it and I mean not apples but worms in and then he decided to go on to give it to God that's not giving God your best and I'm not saying that's what actually happened but I'm kind of just giving you an example of that when you give something to God you give God your best don't give him something mediocre I'll be giving him something leftover you know you give him the best of you why because in turn God is the one that's God blessed you with a a bull or a ram without blemish a perfect one he blessed you with that two began with him more often than not he gave you more there was plenty more where that one came from so God gave you all of the great ones don't give him one of the bad ones you give them one of the good ones if you will right you give him your best so it goes on to say that you give them without blemish that without blemish me make sure that it's not a fact make sure I don't have one eye teeth falling out ear cut off lame you know three legs mutated tails you know make sure that what what you're giving God is perfect so those are to say that he shall offer it upon with his own will at the door at the tabernacle of the congregation in the sight of God where it says before God is saying in the sight of God it says and he shall put his hands upon the head of the burnt offering so it's it's is the identification marker it's you're putting your hands on this offering letting God know that this is you that's offering amen so it says he shall put his hand upon the head of this burnt offering and it should be accepting or it should be attributed to him that he is the one that is dedicating this burnt offering unto God here and it says it should be accepted for him to make atonement for him and in this case this word atonement is not some it's not really the sin covering if you will the is it's not it's not that it's atoning for the sin it's being attributed to him as he is being attributed to the sender if you will the purse the giver if you will it's being recognized by the giver that is him particularly that's giving this to God it's like a it's like God it's taking those okay you're giving it okay so I'm putting putting a star by your name of what you gave me that's the atonement of it it's and and the atonement is it's not that it's going to cover your sins that's not pretty much in this particular case it's more or less than it has shown that it came from you particularly and that you're giving it to him and it is it is more or less dedication rather than a cleansing process it's it's your commitment to God if you will amen now going on with this and that's not right here for a minute if you will now notice something here remember as we started off we're saying that God is is is showing them he's giving them guidance on what's already in them well why is it already in them because they're like there they're like God remember when we were made we were made in the image and the likeness of God go with me real quick because if we were made in the image and the likeness of God then then we're of a Genet we're aware of a generator a generosity if you will you know this is what we want to do and we're going to be able to find the history of this of giving this offering but we're going to see that it started out with God first of this offering go with me real quick we want to go to Genesis Genesis 3rd chapter and I think we're going to find this at the 21st verse Genesis 3 and let's start at verse 21 so you'll see that as we are made in the image and likeness of God this giving and this this sacrifices it started with God first covering us with with the sacrifice if you will watch this we said three Genesis 3 and 21 here it is right here and Adam called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother of all living things verse 21 until a dumb ass oh and to his wife did what did the Lord God make coats of skin what do you think the coats of skin came from they came from animals and said that God made clothes coats of skin and did what he clothed them with the coats of skin so there you go God is that God was the first one to have done this and if we follow the text if we go on to Genesis chapter 8 will see that this carried on even with with the nola chapter 8 verse 20 Genesis chapter 8 verse 20 Noah built an altar unto the Lord and took took of every clean beast of every clean file and offered clean it was perfect it was it was righteous before God and offered a burnt offering a whole offering if you will on the altar and the Lord smelled a sweet aroma or a sweet Savior as the scripture says and the Lord said in his heart I would not again curse to browning for man's sake so he started out with God first a ban cuz we are made in His image and his likeness and God did this first even in the midst of our folly he started it off with this we pick it up because witness image and his likeness and we want a half worship with God what Noor was doing God spared Noah's life and his family so he's walking with God and this was his way of worshiping God now I'm not saying that God worshiped us when he gave us the coastal skin but what he did is he covered us with with this sacrifice guess what he did with Jesus when he gave Jesus as a sacrificial lamb he covered us when he did that amen so this is what's happening now we are worshiping God he gives us dinosaur he gave at least the children of Israel guidance with this amen so we can see where it comes from but of course if you go with me to Exodus 32 the enemy will try to get into your your worship with God those things that you offer to God Exodus 32 we've already covered this this is why God gives us guidance on how to properly worship Him watch this Exodus 32 and the people saw that Moses delayed is coming out of the mountain and the people gathered themselves together with Aaron and said and now Aaron is the man that was watching over them while Moses was gone so while the guide was gone the people had no guidance right so as the people had no guidance here's what happens to him the people came up to Aaron and said unto Him people came together into Aaron and said up make us gods which shall go before us for as this Moses the man which stopped brought up that which - brought us up out of the land of Egypt we don't know what has become of them cuz and this is during the time that Moses was still in the top of the mountain visiting with God getting some instruction getting revelation with God so that the people will have structure and guidance and because the guide was getting guide in getting guidance because the guide was a way getting guidance the people didn't have any guidance the one that was there didn't lead or guide them and instead of them staying put it's in them to worship so guess what they do they're misguided in the way that they were in a worship they're misguided so verse two Aaron said unto them break off the golden earrings which is in your ear and that of your wives and of your sons and your daughters and bring them unto me and all the people break off the earrings which was in the ears and brought him on an errand he received them out of hand he molded it he fashioned it with the graving tool and after he made it a mode and calf and said these be thy God's o Israel so this is what they do they end up making a image to worship they what they did is they offered their gold and their silver their earrings they offered it right as a sacrifice and what happened is they took all that put it together and made a Modan calf out of it and called it that this is the image of the God that we serve and and this is what God is trying to do now he's trying to give them some guidance on how to properly sacrifice and worship Him amen so now let's going with our text here in verse number five and he shall kill the bullet before the Lord which is the young bull and the priest Aaron sons and shall the priest Aaron son shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood around the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation so the person gives the best of what God has given them they bring it to God and they said look I want to offer this as a burnt offering or a hole burnt offering before the Lord and so the man kills it and the the the sons take the blood Aaron's sons which are the priests they take the blood from this Bullock and they sprinkle it around the altar if you will amen and remember the man has the man Sene put in his hand the bee giver is seen putting his hands upon the head of the offering if you will verse six and he shall slay the burnt offering or he shall skin it if you will he's going to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces and the and the sons of Aaron the priest they shall put it on the fire of the altar and lay the wood in the in order upon the fire and the priest Aaron's sons they shall lay the parts the head the fat in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is the burnt off which is upon the altar rather verse nine is in words and its legs as he shall wash in water now the end which is talking about its intestines or its internal organs if you will so the end words his legs should be washed in water and the priest shall burn all that is on the altar to be a burnt sacrifice and offering me by fire of a sweet savour unto the Lord or sweet aroma and this thing will burn continuously the thing about the burnt offering is that whole thing gets burned up and there's not a portion for the the priests themselves but this is what the person gives to God and it's supposed to represent their total commitment to God that's why that is given voluntarily amen well verse 10 and if this offering be of the flocks namely of the sheep or of the goats that's the difference you got the herd is of the of the bulls the Bullock's and then that the the the the the flocks be of the she'd the sheep if he will the goats so it begins to define that here if the offering be of the flocks namely of the sheep or of the goats for a burnt sacrifice he shall bring it what a male without blemish because it represents the best of what he has if you will verse 11 he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord and the priest Aaron's sons shall sprinkle his blood round about the altar and he shall cut it into pieces with his head and his fat and the priest shall laid them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar but he shall wash the n-words which is the either the intestines the intestines inside or the internal organs if you will he shall wash the inwards and the legs with the water and you know if this whole thing you can understand that if the whole thing is to be given to God and to be received this the sweet aroma then you don't want the intestines with the dung if you will that that's that sick coming up to God that needs to be cleaned out if you will and that's what the Scriptures really is is is referring to even that that they need to be cleaned there if you will but he shall wash the inwards and the legs and the water and the priest shall bring it all and burn it upon the altar it's a burnt sacrifice and an offering made by fire of a sweet Savior or sweet aroma of the Lord and if the burnt sacrifice for is offering to the Lord be of the files now let's stop right here let me tell you how awesome God is God where God realizes that everyone may not be financially may not be financially stable or blessed in in the regard of possessions as another person is so one person probably has a whole herd of cattle like bulls another may just have sheep but somebody else may not have that somebody else probably was only able because everybody in the world ain't rich if you will so it's the same within the children of God if you will what what you not everybody will be blessed in the same area in the same regard so maybe someone is all have you no files if you were found so if you will fo WL but God still made an avenue for them to still give and don't have to be if you don't have it you're not excluded that's how God is if you don't have it like that and you'll even find that in the New Testament in the New Testament remember when everybody was given uh uh of those things that you know they gave of their of their increase but this woman gave of her lack remember the woman that gave the might Jesus said that she gave more than everybody else that was given because she gave that which she had that was left and she gave that and Jesus said that little that she got end up being more than what everybody else gave God understand that's how awesome he is he makes a way that even if you don't have what the next man got your gift is still that is still as accepted as that person that has a lot amen because God looks at the chambers of the heart not what's in the hand but what's in the heart hey man what's in the heart will define what goes in the hand and what you give to God amen going on with this if the verse 14 of the burnt offering for his offering to the Lord be of the files then he shall bring the offering of turtledoves he said give some doves or young pigeons and said the priest shall bring it unto the altar and it should break off this ring he hid twist off break off his head and pour or I'm sorry and burn it on the altar and the blood thereof shall be wrung out on the side of the altar poured out on the side of the altar and he shall pluck away his crop with this with this felder so basically he's gonna open up of this bird through the tail feathers if you will in a sense and clean them out even his tail feathers clean them out and cast it beside the altar on the east parts by the place of the ash so he's gonna take out the feathers and stuff you know remember the regular cattle and stuff those things got to be skinned so it's the case with this other stuff and those those the the things that were just discarded of this file it goes along with where the ashes and stuff is and verse 17 he shall cleave it with the wings thereof but he shall not divide it so what he's gonna do is gonna cut it by the wings thereof to kind of open it up but it's not gonna be opened up totally he's not gonna totally open just just open it up enough by the wings break it apart if you will by the wings but show not what he say what it says here in verse 17 but shall not divide it asunder should not totally open it up if you will and the pre-show burn it upon the altar and upon the wood at his own that is upon the fire and it is a burnt sacrifice and offering made by fire a sweet savour unto the Lord so folks let's go on and read chapter 2 and we'll wrap it up so this would be chapter 2 of Leviticus here beginning at verse 1 and when they it says and when any will offer a meat offering now a meat offering we look at meat offering today is some good meat you know state pork chops you know hamburger you know something to that extent but folks that's not the original that's that wasn't the original identification or term of what meat was meat here in the scripture at least back in the day before it got translated and translated and redefined and redefine at least back then it was called grain it's a grain offering so it says when any offer a grain offering until the Lord his offering shall be of the best flour fine flour and he shall pour oil in this case olive oil he shall pour upon it and it shall be he shall put incense or frankincense thereon so if anybody wants to come when they want to give an offering of their of a meet offering or a grain offering to the Lord this is how God is saying this is how I will receive it now another thing as goddess as God has given them guidance guess what he's doing he's telling them how to be blessed how to be recognized how to be honored if you will he's it's not that goddess and this is what this is all you need them this is how you need to worship me he's not like that he said this is how you be blessed this is the way that things are done and if you do it this way nothing but blessings come to you and so in turn God is telling them how to be blessed um those are you with children children in your house when you set rules in your house you're telling your children how you and them get along this is how we keep a peaceful house this is how our household flourish by these rules and regulations that you and I abide by and if you and I abide by these things our home flourish with peace tranquility and everything else but if you don't abide by the protocols of the standards that set up in this house didn't this house to be chaotic it'll be in turmoil so God in turn is telling them how to be blessed as well if you will amen so if any all for a grain offering until the Lord and it's this is doing this is what God expects he expects the best flour that you got he expect you to put olive oil on it and put some incense or frankincense with it amen and he shall bring it to Aaron Aaron's sons the priests and he shall take there out his hand full of the flour thereof and of the oil thereof and of the frankincense there ugh and the priests shall burn the memorial of it or the offering of it upon the altar to be an offering made by fire of a sweet Savior or sweet aroma if you will unto the Lord the remnant of this grain offering shall be Aaron's and his sons it is the thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire because it's got the anointing oh it's got this oil good olive oil and olive oil in the scriptures represents the anointing of the holy spirit so no wonder God would say that it is one of the most holiest offerings that you can give to them but notice that the priest Aaron's sons take a portion of it and they offer it to God and that which is left the priests are able to consume it upon themselves why because it's not the whole burnt offering Amen the whole board offering goes strictly to God but the offering of a grain offering that a person wants to just freely give to God God makes sure that his men that are we in this case we see the Scriptures come to play here where it says Dome in the New Testament don't muzzle the ox don't muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn or something like that that treaded out the grain which means don't nowadays we look at pastors you know if they have a car or if they got a house I'm not giving anything so that man so that person that pastor can take my money and he paying all this be going on wait wait a minute now God saw for God's most of the time most of those pastors if legit pastors legit man and God most of the time that might be their only job that might be just as the priest their only job was to serve God 24/7 they were to minister in a priest his office 24/7 a lot of times that still hasn't changed this date and that pastor that might be over the congregation he may not have an outside job that may be what he does is what he does right here therefore the Lord seemed fit that he received that from the congregation as far as what would sustain him nowadays we say well I ain't given unto him because your pastors driving around in my new car in a new car and I'm still in this beater but folks God is the one that actually set it up okay so you we wanted to want to make sure that that net we're dressed at it and then you know even in the scriptures now now I will say this me myself you know they none for me really did to say I guess you could say well you know person you know pastor with a faux $500,000 car and you know it's you know God be the one to judge on it but nevertheless it's God that sets this thing up amen so we'll just leave that there verse three the remainder of it as we said we already covered the remainder of it is that which goes to the sons of Aaron for you know that God is taking care of them to verse four and if that would bring an oblong offering of a grain offering that's baked in an oven it shall be unleavened cakes without yeast it should be unloving cakes a flying fly off of your best flour fine flour mingled with olive oil and unleavened wafers or you know wafers without without yeast if you will anoint it with oil and that's olive oil or spread that word anointed here you spread those wafers spread with with olive oil there amen and and you wouldn't have of course they didn't have ovens the way we had them they probably had a container that they put stuff in and then they put it in a fire to kind of bake it if you will so but this is God has given a protocol of that which they are to give that they bring an oblation of a grain if their grain offering if they actually cooked it in in if they baked it in the oven this is how God's once wants to receive it here verse five if they're if they're offering if their operation be a meat offering baked in a pan in this case something like a griddle if you will it should be a fine flour your best flour unleavened without without yeast and mingled sprinkled with olive oil you now notice this one the one that's baked had it has to have the olive oil you'll spread it on there but that which is in that which is cooking and in a griddle it has to be seasoned or sprinkled on there if you will the olive oil there that's pretty interesting here verse six thou shalt thou shalt part it in pieces and pour oil thereon and it is the meat offering or the grain offering if that hablen of that offering be a meat offering baked in a frying pan it is it shall be made of fine flour with the oil and if thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the Lord and when it is presented unto the priest he shall bring it unto the altar and he shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof and shall burn it upon the altar and then it's an offering made by fire of sweet aroma of the Lord so all those things all that whether it's been baked in a pan whether it's been baked in the oven or cooked in a pan if you will God has told them how how he wanted seasoned or what ingredients need to be how it is to be prepared and it is to priests job to take a portion of it and and that portion that he take is considered the memorial that's the part that goes to God the remainder of it the remnant or the remainder again that goes to the priest verse 10 that which is left of the meat offering should be Aaron and his son and it is the thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire because it's got this anointing oil on there amen and and we look at in the scriptures the anointing oil it is we look at that at least in the scriptures we look at it as it's the power of the Holy Spirit that God looks at it like that salt in the New Testament salt is recognized as Christianity itself we're considered the salt of the earth and we're going to start to cover the salt here in a little bit so it's pretty interesting here verse eleven no meat offering or no grain offering if you will shall be brought unto the Lord which ye shall bring to the Lord shall bring with leaven for you show you shall burn no leaven nor any honey Anini offering of the Lord made with fire so again God is stipulating that whatever you bring in me don't bring me something with with with leavened or honey with yeast or honey that you want to put in a fire he's not going to have that you don't burn that stuff now watch verse 12 as for the oblation or or the asked for your offerings of the first fruit the first fruit of your crop if you will or the first fruit of your harvest you shall offer them until the Lord but they shall not be burnt on the offer excuse me they should not be burnt on the altar for a sweet Savior now what he's saying here is this goes with verse 11 your firstfruits can come you can bring your first fruits to God and your first fruits like with your crops you know or whatever your first fruit is that you want to give the guy namely your crops and stuff if you bring that to him and it's got yeast or it's got honey that can't be put over the altar so he's reiterating verse 11 I'm sorry verse 12 actually reiterates verse number 11 as you as you're habla as your ablation of your firstfruits you shall offer them unto the Lord but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet Savior which means that if he detects that there is honey and leaven in there he reiterates again do not put that one I don't want to smell that that's what he's saying that stuff that's a I don't want to smell leaven coming up to me I don't want to smell honey being burped coming up to me that's not a sweet aroma to me that's what God is saying here a man just as it says in 11 no graining offering which he shall bring her to the Lord she'll be may with leaven for you shall burn no leaven so that's what he's saying don't offer your grain offerings to be burnt Levin you can offer them you can offer Levin with your stuff but it can't be burnt it's what he's saying I don't want to have to smell that hey man verse 13 every oblation or every offering of a of that grain offering shalt thou seasoned with salt uh-huh neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy grain offering with all thine offering thou shalt offer salt so those things those grain offerings that you give at least what they gave to God ain't needed to be seasoned with salt and as God receives it soul is the portion so delicious what we have to believe it was so good to the priest that would receive it amen again God is stipulating the what how it needs to be done up when you send you send things to the post-office and I know this is a bad example you send things to the post office they have certain stipulations on how that envelope is to be addressed how the package is to be wrapped before it's shipped this is no different actually this is helping you because God recognizes that it came from you and he received it remember he's taking notes on this because at least with the burnt offering he's you got your hand on there and he's saying that this is you that are committing you you're dedicating that which you have to God in total dedication total commitment to him so God is saying that if you want to be blessed this is how things are done and of course he added salt to the to the equation here verse 14 of them offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the Lord thou shall offer for thy meat offering of thy firstfruits and remember the meat offering is the grain offering thou shall offer your grain offering of that firstfruits green ears of corn dried by fire even corn beaten out of full ears now let's look at this verse here for a little bit so as you see here in verse 12 he says I don't want any of your firstfruits mingled with it if you read verse 12 and well let's just read it it says that's for the oblation of the firstfruits you shall offer them unto the Lord but they shall not be burnt unto the altar but then if you come down here it seems like they are to be burnt but what again remember what I was telling you that verse 12 is just saying that he's not receiving your first fruits being burnt with lemon and honey I'll receive them but I won't receive them if they got you know I won't receive them over the altar if it's got your first fruits if it's got 11 or honey and then if you come down to verse 14 he's saying this he says if thou offering meat offering of thy firstfruits a grain offering of your firstfruits until the Lord you shall offer the grain offering of that firstfruits let it be green ears of corn that's been roasted over the fire and then it's been crushed turned into a grain if you will beaten out of your fool ears so you'll take your full ear of corn you'll take that corn and you were roasted over the fire and after it's been dried out then you begin to grain it down and then he's saying you want to put a look once you do that verse 15 thou shall put a pure olive oil on to it and then you'll a instance or frankincense their own for it is a grain offering if he if you will verse 16 and the priest shall burn the God's portion the memorial of it or the portion that belongs to God they shall burn that part of the part of this this beaten or crushed corn thereof and part of the oil thereof and with and all the frankincense thereof it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord so we knocked out leviticus one-and two-and nor willing we'll come back to three another time had a good time hopefully you you walk away with a little bit of understanding of what was going on with the offerings there and go with me real quick here to a Roman's 12th chapter Romans 12 beginning at verse 1 Romans 12 first one got once - he wants to differentiate his children even Israel he wants to differentiate them she wants to sanctify them if you will sanctify means to set of Messiah that they are to be different from the rest of the world look at what this says here Romans twelve and one I beseech you brethren therefore by the mercies of God that you present your bodies a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service and be not conformed to this world don't do things don't do things in a manner that the world does it but be you renew by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God they need what what God was doing to Israel at this time is transforming their mind that they don't do things according to the way that they did it back in Israel this is why he's I he's adding guidance so that they're not misguided all men have a need to worship it's what you worship that's what gets you in trouble some as we talked about some people worship money and everything else and those things that you worshiped out our other than God they begin to exploit you if you worship drugs drugs begin to exploit you and and and it and the craving uh-uh it you you can never be satisfied no matter what you get that's worldly there was never contentment why because only God was was meant to be able to satisfy and all are your needs and your desires only the only true relationship and true worship with God was meant to take your mind and your focus off of those things that you think you need and can't live without once you may ruin for God he add guidance to your misguided and you begin to live a life full with God and so in order to do this your mind would have had your mind has to be transformed and that's what was happening with the children of Israel their mind was being transformed it was being shown uh this is why you have avoiding you you want to worship me and I want to be here with you so let's come together and make this relationship work so you can live life full a lot of times when you see people going and seeking after other things it's because they have a strong desire to worship but they're misguided in their perception of what to worship this is why you have alcoholics this is why you have drug addictions that's why you have a lot of perverse sexualities going on here people want to express themselves but what happens is the the enemy gets caught up in there and they put the focus on their flesh and their flesh is trying to kill them bottom line if you put the focus back on God he will save you and he will begin to all that energy that you got towards death he will redirect that energy that you got towards serving him and walking with him and living with them and and worshiping him to the point that he becomes real and this this Thanksgiving I was my family and I my wife and my children we went out to to Wisconsin this past Thanksgiving and I've seen family members that that I hadn't seen in years man I mean as a matter of fact of course I know about three four or five years ago I lost my my grandfather and briefly I've seen those family members members but to actually spend the good quality time I hadn't seen them in in quite some time and here's what I thought went out when I've actually seen them I've seen their children I'm like 4 I'm 41 I'm seeing their children in their 20s and I was thinking like wow man my cousin I that's the age that we were when we were hanging out 15 16 years old I've seen mark children their children you know this love and what I thought when I seen that embrace the one thing I thought was that's God God is manifesting himself in this it is God's presence that's causing them to embrace like this do you understand what I'm saying but when it's when when when it's misguidance within you you can't see you can't see God in those things do you understand what I'm saying when you are misguided when God is not the focus when he is not the head in your life you can't see God in a lot of things all you can see is yourself what you can get how you can continue to please yourself and so there is a pathway that men travel that leads them to the destruction of death once the scripture said there is a way which seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof is the ways of death because they have not made God their focus so you have people on alcohol people on drugs every kind of different perversions and those are the things that they have made their God and you can't serve both of them and here is a question can you put can you put the alcohol down can you put the drugs down if you say I gotta have this to make it through today but I love God know it's one or the other do you understand what I'm saying so what are we saying here today we're saying that the reason why your life may be out of balance the reason why you can't live with some of these things here is because you have some misguidance going on because you have not been you have not made God your focal point and it's your going to continue to be further and in the rim of misguidance until you do and that misguidance is trying to kill you because you have made your flesh and the desires of it your God and only God the God that we serve the God of Abraham the god of Isaac and the God of is the God of Jacob the guys that we serve is the god of the living anything else outside of the God that we serve being a God of living anything else that you decide to make your God outside of the god of life that is a God to you of death and it's and it's assignment is to kill you because it's not the God of the living huh be not conformed to this world why because this world is built upon the conditions of death when God when you allow God and Jesus Christ to come in to you and you you allow yourself to be guiding to be guided by the Holy Spirit and true worship then you are being transformed but if that's not happen if you're out here in this world you're not being transformed you're being condemned through this world you're dying with the world when God takes over our vessels the old man dies hmm the old man the old ways of doing business begin to die right and the new man comes well of God's kingdom is going to descend from heaven and God is going to set up a new Jerusalem on this earth that means this old planet has to die the ways of the old has to die and if you haven't made God your business your focus your God then things are going to die you're going to die with this planet that's just the way it is now how can I make how can I put the guidance where it belongs how can I allow God to be my god well the only way you're going to receive God is to receive his son the Lord Jesus Christ that means you have to believe you have to believe that Jesus is the Son of God the only begotten child of God and that Jesus came down to this planet God gave His only begotten Son you'll find out in in the Gospel of st. John John vs. John third chapter verse 16 God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that those that believeth in him should not perish but have ever lasting life eternal life you have to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and repent you say well I don't have the strength to repent there are those there's your confession you confess what you're not able to do great now you have to confess that Jesus Christ is the son of God you have to confess that Jesus Christ you have to believe and confess it confess and believe that Jesus is the Son of God and if you believe this and you are ready to let Jesus rule over your life he will guide you back to the arms of God and Jesus will release you from the power of those things that are killing you from the influence of those things that are disposing of you you can't do it you can't go cold turkey and think it is enough it's not enough can't do you need Jesus Christ I need Jesus we all need Jesus Christ he is our king he is our Lord and He is the only one that can save us but you got to admit that you need to be saved so if you're ready you gotta admit that there's a problem and if you're ready say it with me but if you're not ready if you just willing to accept things the way they are in this part of the Bible studies may not be for you but if you are looking around and you're seeing that things are dying all around me things are chaotic things is not working out I'm not happy I'm not content my marriage is hurting much my children are coming against me my job is cutting me you know I'm I want to have joy but I don't want joy in material things I want to be happy on the inside if you already and you are ready to serve God if you are ready to be guided back to the arms of God through his son Jesus Christ this part of this Bible study is for you say this with me say God I come to you right now Lord just as I am Lord and I may not have a bowl to place my hand on so that you can see that it's me I may not have a border set my head on board but it's my heart you're not looking at the heart you're not looking at the hand Lord you're looking at the heart which is determining what's in the hand so Lord as you as I come before you and you see where I've come from and you see where I am now if you look into y'all in my heart you will see that I need you God I need you I need you to forgive me and I need you to help me because I'm not able to help myself I'm asking you to forgive me Lord for all of my sins he said God I believe that Jesus Christ is your only begotten Son I believe it Lord without a doubt and I believe that you loved this world so and that you love men so that you gave us your only begotten Son Jesus Christ and I believe that he came down to this world and I believe that he allowed himself to become a sacrificial lamb for mankind I believe God that Jesus allowed himself to be put on a cross to be delivered up by the hands of men Lord to be killed I believe that He gave His life to be killed of men but on the third day of his death god I believe that you rose him up from the dead Lord soon after I believe that she was sending him up into heaven and he now resides on your right hand side so now you got a call on Jesus you say Jesus Christ son of God I'll call on you right now to come in me and to live through me I ask you right now to deliver me from my sinful ways to wash me with your blood and cleanse me and purify me from all unrighteousness Jesus I accept you as my lord I accept you as my savior from this day forth I honor your will instead of mine own from this day forward I'll make you my Lord my king and my Savior forgive me lord I love you and I thank you if you said it and you believe it and you meant it that's all it takes you repent from your sins what is repentance it's not just saying you sorry but it's having a desire to never do those things again but it takes Jesus to release you from the power of the influence those things would have over you but at least your thoughts towards that has to I don't never want to do that again and you confess your sins and you are saved if you believe that Jesus is the Son of God that's all now you got to get baptized baptism represents its ceremonial it represents we are the scripture says that we are buried with them and we are resurrected with them it is to say that the man of God will take you and he will submerge you he will totally submerge you into the water which represents us being buried with our Lord Jesus Christ and a man of God will bring you up out of the water which represents we are resurrected with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so you want to get that done and we baptize in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord I had a great time great great Bible study great time and remember folks when you get an opportunity to go to our prayer list look at those names that are on the prayer list and that's God to bless them to release them from whatever they're in to whatever ails them that he would healed them just as you would have your name be up there I want people to pray for you pray for those names and if you can as God is breaking your relationship or if he's building things up and tearing some things down or bringing you through let us know and let your brothers and sisters know what God has done for you until we meet again I'll give a shout out to my love brother brother Scott Almeida brother teal god bless you sister sure god bless you pray for you and the children we just loved you until we meet again and grace and peace of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ our God our Father through the Holy Spirit best you
