1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending. 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: is to come, the Almighty Revelation one eight. Heavenly Father, 4 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: nothing existed before you, and nothing will exist after you. 5 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: You are the beginning and the end of everything. You 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: are the giver of life, and when that life has 7 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: completed its purpose, you will call them home to eternal rest. 8 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: You were the same to day as you were yesterday, 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: as you will be tomorrow. You never change. You are 10 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: the almighty God of all creation, and you possess the 11 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: mighty power to raise the dead, heal the sick, and 12 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: deliver the oppressed. Nothing is impossible for you. You are 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: the one true God whose name is above every name. 14 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: You are the only one deserving all honor and glory. 15 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: Without you, there would be no life, no joy, no laughter, 16 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: no hope, nor beauty. You are the God of justice 17 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: and mercy. You have called me out of darkness and 18 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: are teaching me how to live in accordance to your word. 19 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: Greater things will you do, said Jesus. Because I go 20 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: to the Father, I am so behind in my education, 21 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: because I am still struggling with sin and temptation, instead 22 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: of decreeing and declaring your word. When I think of 23 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: whose I am, I stand up a bit straighter and 24 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: believe I can do anything through you. You live in 25 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: me and through me, continue to empower me in Jesus name, Amen. 26 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to to Day's daily prayer for 27 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: more inspiration and an incredible message from our feature pastor. 28 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: Stay tuned to prey dot COM's Sunday Service.

Hello, 43 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: my friends at prey dot com. I'm Troy Brewer and 44 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: I'm the senior pastor out at Open Door Church here 45 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: in Burliston, Texas. What a great privilege it is to 46 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: share this year's January first message with you. You know 47 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: this message is well, it's all about a word for 48 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: the new year to come. I'm actually looking up examples 49 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: of the number twenty three in scripture, and we're talking 50 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: about Psalms twenty three, right, Like, how much more appropriate 51 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: could Psalms twenty three be than rather than in the 52 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: year twenty twenty three. It's a great year to fear 53 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: the Lord. The fear of the Lord is when you 54 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: live in a constant awareness of His presence and know 55 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: that God is with you. And then, of course Psalms 56 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: twenty three says, yea, though I'll walk through the valley 57 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil 58 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: because you are with me. You know, death is not 59 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: something that any of us get to avoid. It's something 60 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: that we all get to overcome through the Lord Jesus Christ. Friends, 61 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna love this. This is Open Door Church on 62 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: January the first, watch this message. My goodness, guys. Welcome everybody. Anyway, guys, 63 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: we are going to be looking at the biblical meaning 64 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: of the number twenty three today. We are going to 65 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: be doing that. And like, why why would we look 66 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: at what a number means? I mean, how could a 67 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: number mean anything? Because because God Almighty has designed things 68 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: that numbers and math is language. As a matter of fact, 69 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: everything in Heaven is numbered, everything is weighed, everything is 70 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: measured until it gets to a place where he says 71 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: it can't be numbered, it can't be weighed, it can't 72 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: be measured, right, And like, well, why would he do that? 73 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: Because it all glorifies the Lord, it glorifies King Jesus. 74 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: I'm not a numerologist. I don't believe that there's any 75 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: power in numbers whatsoever. Like, well, then why do you 76 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: teach this? Because there's power in the word of God. 77 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: And sometimes God Almighty will say, cash your net on 78 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,119 Speaker 1: the other side, and one hundred and fifty three fish 79 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: will show up, not one hundred and fifty four, not 80 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty two, And it's like, okay, well, 81 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: am I just going to just say that's a number? 82 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: Or am I going to know that there's a message 83 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: in that. It is the glory of God to conceal 84 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: a thing, but the honor of kings is to search 85 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: out the matter. And then I begin to look and 86 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: begin to see it not only as a pattern, but 87 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: what does the what are the actual numbers or what 88 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: are the actual letters that actually give us the number? 89 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: Because in the Hebrew and also in the Greek alphabet, 90 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: they do not have numerals. They have letters. You and 91 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: I use numerals one angle, two angles, three angles, four angles, 92 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: five angles, six angles seven with the hashtag has seven 93 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: angles on it. How many angles is this, y'all? Zero? Right? Sore? 94 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: Whenever we recognize numbers, we're just looking at a symbol 95 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: that shows us a bunch of angles so that we'll 96 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: know what the number represents. They don't do that. What 97 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: they do is they have basically their A is a one, 98 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: and there B is a two, and so on, and 99 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: it goes to ten, and then it goes ten, twenty 100 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: thirty four, and it goes to one hundred. And then 101 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: the last four letters in the Hebrew alphabet, and there's 102 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 1: twenty two of them. The last four letters are one hundred, 103 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: two hundred three, hundred and four hundred, and you know, 104 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: you know that that's how the Romans do it. They 105 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: don't use numerals, they use letters, and so they do 106 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: the same thing. And what that means is every single 107 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: word in the Bible is a number, and every single 108 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: scripture in the Bible is a number. And that's what 109 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: it means. And so like, well, why would you why 110 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: would you care? Because what you find is that God, 111 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: God's word is in it. It's mathematically perfect, it's so 112 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: mathematically perfect, and it's so glorifies the Lord. And again, 113 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: I am not a numerologist at all. Listen, I want 114 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: to just say this. Let me tell you why I 115 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: can't be a numerologist. Are you guys ready? I can 116 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: prove to you that I'm not a numerologist because I 117 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 1: love Jesus right, and if I believe in power and numbers, 118 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: I'm in trouble. You know why, because my birthday is 119 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: twelve six six six. Some of you are numerologists and 120 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: you're worried about me. Now, that's fine. You go converse 121 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: with your father the devil. Amen. Here's what I would say, 122 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: as far as witches and warlocks and all that mess 123 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: is concerned, I know that it's been contaminated. I know 124 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: that people have done ugly things with it. I know 125 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: that people have not glorified King Jesus with it, but 126 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: I know that we're supposed to. It is no more 127 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: numerology for me to glorify Jesus and numbers than for 128 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: sexual activity within marriage to be called pornography. Amen. It's like, 129 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: I know people are messed with that and done really 130 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: bad things with it, but that don't stop none of y'all. Amen. 131 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: Anybody ever done anything wrong with money? Yeah, well you 132 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: still go out to that, Amen, So go out to 133 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: these things that glorify King Jesus and make sure that 134 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: you glorify the Lord with it. Amen. You can live 135 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: at thirteen thirteen mocking Bird Lane and be a drop 136 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: dead showed out Jesus freak. You can now that I've 137 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: said all that. Numbers is one of the ways that 138 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: God uses, is one of the languages of God that 139 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: he communicates, Sir. And it's not for average seekers. It's 140 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: for people that want to seek the Lord in a 141 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: really deep way. Intimately, it's so personal. When you start 142 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: learning this language and God starts speaking to you, you 143 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: can't even go on pump gas that you don't see 144 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: Jesus in it, and you become one of those weirdos, 145 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: and everybody in the world will make fun of you. 146 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: They'll all make fun of you publicly, and then privately 147 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: they'll call you when they get cancer that like, I 148 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: need somebody. I need a weirdo that really loves Jesus 149 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: as sees Jesus. Twenty four seven. So one, all the 150 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: way through the Word of God tends to represent unity. 151 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: The Lord your God is one right. Two tends to 152 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: represent a full witness right, the two witnesses, and the 153 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: Book of Revelation. Animals came in by twos. Every word 154 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: is established by the mouth of two or three witnesses. 155 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: Three tends to represent perfect completion, outer core, intercourt, most 156 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: holy place, the Son of the Moon, the stars, the Father, 157 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: the Son and the Holy and the Holy Ghost, Egypt, 158 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: the wilderness, the Promised Land. Now about a faith, hope, love, right, 159 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: all those things. And there's so many wonderful and beautiful 160 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: examples of it in the Word of God. But it 161 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: means the whole enchilada. It means you can see the 162 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: whole thing. Four is a number that represents creation and 163 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: God's creative around. That's why there's four seasons and four 164 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: elements and four lunar cycles and all those fours. Five 165 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: is a number that tends to represent the grace of God, 166 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: grace's God given ability to overcome something. Six is the 167 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: number that represents the flesh, or it can also represent 168 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: God doing a work in the midst of humanity. Seven 169 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: is a work that means manifest spirits, or the spirit 170 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: of God shows up and you can see that it 171 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: is the spirit of the Lord. And it is the 172 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: most prolific number all the way through the Bible. Eight 173 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: means new beginnings. Nine is a number that means that 174 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: means judgment on one side, and it means fruit bearing 175 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: on another side. Ten is a number that means that 176 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: there's a new sheriff in town, and I like that, 177 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: I mean perfect order. Eleven is a number that represents 178 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: disorder on one side, and then it represents heroes rising 179 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: up right. I like that, like Hebrews Chapter eleven, like 180 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: Apollo eleven. Hallelujah. The number twelve is a number that 181 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: represents perfect government. When God governs something, he likes to 182 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: stamp the number twelve on it. That's why there's twelve 183 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: hours a day in a day, twelve hours a night. 184 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: There's twelve months in a year. There's twelve major constellations 185 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: within the heavens. There's twelve disciples. There's twelve nations of Israel. Right, 186 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: there's twelve tribes of Israel. Thirteen is a number that 187 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: means rebellion. Fourteen is a number that means generational promises. 188 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: There are fourteen generations. The Bible says from Abraham to David, 189 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: fourteen from David to the carrying away of Babylon, and 190 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: fourteen from the carrying away of Babylon unto Jesus the Christ. 191 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:14,479 Speaker 1: Fifteen means consecration, sixteen means the love of God. Seventeen 192 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: means overcoming victory. That's why there's seventeen promises in the 193 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: Book of Revelation for he who overcomes. Eighteen is a 194 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: number that represents bondage on one side, and then on 195 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: the other side it represents life. Nineteen is a number 196 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: that represents exploits of faith and Hebrews Chapter eleven. A 197 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: good example of that is there's nineteen people mentioned in 198 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: there exploits of faith. Twenty is a number that represents expectancy. 199 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: Twenty one is seven times three. Twenty two means revelation 200 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: light and as to do with the light of revelation, 201 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: And then we get to the number twenty three. You know, 202 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: when Godalmani declares a word prophetically, and when he shows 203 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: us type and shadow and symbol, and when he speaks 204 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: something prophetically, it needs to get your attention, and it 205 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: needs to be something that like, if you're somebody, if 206 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: you've been waking up at three three three every night 207 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: for a long time, are there any crazy three three 208 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: three people in here? Yeah? I look at all those. 209 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: Are there any crazy two two two people you've been 210 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: waking up? Craig Cray? Yeah, but I'd pay attention to 211 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: that if I was waking up every night at three 212 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: three three. And there's been times in my life where 213 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: I just I knew it didn't matter if I want 214 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: to sleep at seven o'clock at night or twelve o'clock 215 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: mid night, I was still gonna wake up at three 216 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: three three?

And what 221 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: does three mean? And what are the examples of three 222 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: throughout the Word of God? Until finally I go, oh, Jesus, 223 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: I get what you're saying to me. It's one thing 224 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: for God to call you to visit him, or it's 225 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: another thing for jesus Us to knock at your door. 226 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: It's another thing to actually wake up and not roll 227 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: over and go back to sleep, but get up and 228 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: say Lord.

And I don't want you to panic 232 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: because I've got good news on the other side of this, 233 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: but you need to hear what it means up front, 234 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: and it means that all the way through the Bible. 235 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: Are you ready, twenty three means death? Like, whoa what 236 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: are you talking about? Twenty three is a biblical number 237 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: for death.

And I 261 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: want to just tell you that we're gonna have to 262 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: learn this year that we're not trying to avoid scary things, 263 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: that scary things need to try and avoid us. And 264 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: it's it's a tremendous word and I'm hearing it over 265 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: and over and over again.

First. Um, let me just tell 272 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: you that I'm writing a book that's called Numbers that 273 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: Prophesy and it's going to be out in January twenty 274 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: twenty four. And I've been working on this book for 275 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: a while, and actually all year long. I've just been 276 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: kind of going through it and putting it together, and 277 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: it's it's like a three year project for me because 278 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: it's so extensive. And I've been like, okay, I've been 279 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: discovering new numbers. I wow, I've never seen this before. 280 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: I've never heard anybody say this before. And one of 281 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: those numbers I keep coming across everywhere in all of 282 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: my research. It's the number sixty six, and it's like, 283 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: sixty six. You know what in the world could sixty 284 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: six mean? Well, it means from here to there, or 285 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: it's the number for journey. And it's that way in 286 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: so many different examples. Now before I just give you 287 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: the main biblical example of it, before I do that 288 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: route sixty six right, and it's like, Okay, it means 289 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: to travel, it means to go from here to there, 290 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: and it means journey. It's a number that represents journey. Okay. 291 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: I looked up yesterday. I was looking up what's the 292 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: longest Amtrak train in America and it's called the Texas 293 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: Eagle and it starts in Chicago, it goes to Texas, 294 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: and it goes from Texas, it goes to la and 295 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: is sixty six hours. And there's another cool sixty six 296 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: it has to do with travel. That's kind of cool. 297 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: Do you know, friends, that this Earth that you and 298 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: I are sitting on right now is traveling around the 299 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: Sun at sixty six thousand miles an hour. That's the 300 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: speed that our Earth is traveling right this second in 301 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: its track around the Sun. Do you know the inside 302 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: your human body you have sixty six thousand miles of 303 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: blood vessels that your blood travels through. How how crazy 304 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: is that? Did you know guys, that when the Mayflower 305 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: left Plymouth and found itself at Plymouth Rock, that was 306 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: a sixty six day journey? Did you know that Apollo 307 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: eleven when it left and when it came back, it 308 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,719 Speaker 1: was sixty six days?

That's some pretty from here 313 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: to there? Right, that's pretty nuts. Did you know that? 314 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: Did you know that if you look this up in 315 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: history that Ramses, who is a guy that Moses confronted, 316 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: that he was sixty six years old the year that 317 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: he died, which is the year that Israel left and 318 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: went on their journey, it's sixty six and they left 319 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: and said, well, we're going to go from here to there. 320 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: And I've been looking at this and looking at this, 321 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: and look at this, and it's been blowing my mind. 322 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: Do you know that it takes sixty six days to 323 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: create a new behavior or become for a new behavior 324 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: to become automatic. Do all the research on that. It's 325 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: like any if you're trying to form a new habit 326 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: and make it automatic, you've got to do it every 327 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: day for sixty six days. That's how God Almighty programmedes like, Wow, 328 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: I could I have a whole bunch of these, But 329 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: I just want to cut to the chase and tell 330 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: you this. Your Bible has sixty six books in it, 331 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: and it's for your journey. It's to get you from 332 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: here to there. And this last week I was looking up, 333 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, like, you know, how many chapters? How many 334 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: of this? How many of that? Because I'm a little 335 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: bit of psychotic, and you know, there's one thousand, one 336 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: hundred eighty nine chapters within the sixty six books that 337 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: make up the Bible. There's thirty one thou one hundred 338 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: and two verses. I was going through all this kind 339 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: of stuff, and then when I kept I kept going 340 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: to this one site, and I finally decided to stop 341 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: and look and go what is this site? And here's 342 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: the site. It's called Bible Memory goal dot com. Bible 343 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: Memory go dot com. Now this guy doesn't indorse me, 344 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: He doesn't know me, but I indorse this brother. I 345 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: want to tell you, my mind has been blown by 346 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 1: this cat. And I am so impressed with him, and like, 347 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: who is he? Well, he's a weirdo missionary, and all 348 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: all missionaries are weirdos. If you don't know that, there's 349 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: a reason why they're not among us, and they're out 350 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: there somewhere. I'm a missionary, so I know what I'm 351 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: talking about. But he's a guy that when he was 352 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: in China, he actually got arrested in China, and he's like, wow, 353 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: he didn't know if he was going to be in 354 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: prison for one day, one hour, a thousand years. He 355 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: had no idea, because you know, they're socialists and they'd 356 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: do whatever they want to. So he's in he's in prison, 357 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: and he's sitting there. He doesn't have a Bible. He 358 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: doesn't have you know. He's used to doing like me 359 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: and just going to the Internet and looking up this, 360 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: looking up that, looking up this, looking up that. And 361 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: he began to go, well, I gotta think on the 362 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: word of God, and I don't have a Bible, so 363 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,719 Speaker 1: I'll see how many scriptures I can remember. He'd been 364 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: studying the Bible every day of his life and he 365 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: could only remember twenty and he was so ashamed of it. 366 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: And I mean, this is a guy that preaches every 367 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: day and it's not that he doesn't know the word, 368 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: it's just that he didn't. He didn't he's never committed 369 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: the Bible to his memory because he has the advantage 370 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: of the internet. He's a young man and he's like, 371 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: if I ever get out of this prison, I'm changing this. 372 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: So what he's doing and what you can find at 373 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: Bible Memory, at Bible memory go dot com, is that 374 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: he is purposed in his heart that by the time 375 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: he's forty years old, which is two years from now, 376 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: he can actually quote from memory the entire New Testament. 377 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: And he's doing it. And you can go there and watch, 378 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: and can go there and watch book after book after 379 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: book after book where he just walks out in front 380 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: of a camera and just goes boom and will say 381 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: the whole book of Galactians, or the whole Book of Corinthians, 382 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: or First Corinthians, the whole book of this, a whole 383 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: book of that, and he checks them off. Well, then 384 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: it turns out there are people all over the world 385 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: that have memorized the Bible and they've all hooked up 386 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: with him, and he has so many videos of techniques 387 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: on how to remember things, and I mean, I guess 388 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: I want to just tell you I got so dad 389 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: gum convicted.

I shall not want. He makes 472 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me 473 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: beside the steel waters. He restores my soul. He leads 474 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. YEA, 475 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: though I walk through the valley at the shadow of death, 476 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: I will fear no evil, for you are with me. 477 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: Your ride and your staff they comfort me. You prepare 478 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: a table before me in the presence of my enemies. 479 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: You anoint my head with all my cup runs over. 480 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days 481 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: of my life, and I will dwell in the house 482 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: of the Lord forever. You know whenever this psalm was written, 483 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: it was written a thousand years before King Jesus, a 484 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: thousand years and it's attributed to David. So let's just 485 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: say that David is the one, and I believe that 486 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: he is the one. These six verses in this twenty 487 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: third psalm was a song that David wrote that we 488 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: are still singing and We don't even know how the 489 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: song went, that's how good it is. And it was 490 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: translated over from another language and it still is poetic 491 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: in our language. It's incredible.

That starts off this way, 514 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: says the Lord is my shepherd. And that is a 515 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: good declaration for you to have every single day of 516 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: your life. The Lord is my shepherd. Just get up 517 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: every day this year and say the Lord is my shepherd. 518 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: Just just say it, Just say it right now, just 519 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: say it. Yeah, because I want to tell you that's 520 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: a game changer. This song is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, and 521 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: it's written from from the perspective of a sheep who 522 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: does that. Yeah, I'm thinking about writting a song glorifies 523 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: the Lord, and I think I'll make it about a 524 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: sheep that loves King Jesus. Everybody like, get out of here, 525 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: you can't do that. I'm a big fan of the 526 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: Steel Drivers, and the steel Drivers have a song that's 527 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: called Sticks that Make Thunder, and it is a song 528 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: about that is sung from the perspective of a tree 529 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: on a Civil War battlefield, trying to describe what the 530 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: battle is, and what the battle is, and he calls 531 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: the guns sticks that make thunder. It's like, what were 532 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: you smoking when you came up with that? That is craziness, 533 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: Just exactly like that. This is even crazier. This is 534 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: about our walk with God from the perspective of a 535 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: sheep man. It's crazy. What Jesus himself is called the 536 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: good shepherd in John ten eleven. He's called the Great 537 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: Shepherd in Hebrews thirteen twenty, and he's called the chief 538 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: Shepherd in First Peter five four. If you, if you 539 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: would be willing this year to say the six verses 540 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: of Psalms twenty three every single day and meditate on 541 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: it like it's some kind of supernatural beef jerky or 542 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: the everlasting gob stopper that you just keep chewing on 543 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: and chewing on and chewing on and chewing on, you 544 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: would get such an awesome revelation out of this that 545 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: he is your shepherd. I can tell you that for 546 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: the sake of time, I let me just cut to 547 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: the chase and tell you this. If you were to 548 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: look at all the themes of that, and there are 549 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: so many themes, so many incredible themes, like what Oh. 550 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: Themes like resting and having peace in the midst of 551 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: very uncomfortable places, being lavished with the love of God 552 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: in the presence of your enemies, finding rest and peace 553 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: and hostile territory. Those are big deals. Knowing how to 554 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: have hope and knowing how the story is going to end. 555 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: That's also a theme. You know how it ends. I 556 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: am like, I know how this is going to go. 557 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days 558 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: of my life, and then I'll jo out the House 559 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: of Lord forever. He's like, I know how this is 560 00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: gonna go. That theme is there's so many sermons in 561 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: this there's so many messages in these simple six verses. 562 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: It's mind boggling to me. But I want to point 563 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: out a very important part of this message, and it's 564 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: this death cannot be avoided, Death must be conquered, and 565 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: death must be overcome. That is another theme of Psalms 566 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: twenty three, that nobody dodges death, and here's a good news. 567 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: You don't have to, because Jesus has already overcome death. 568 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: Jesus has overcome death, my friends. But it's a huge 569 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: theme of Psalms twenty three, and it's this. Okay, if 570 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: you think you're gonna oh yeah, man, it's gonna be 571 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: nothing but good times this year. No it's not. No, 572 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: it's not. Well, everything's gonna be super easy. No, it's not. 573 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: Everything's gonna go back the way it was before twenty twenty. 574 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: No it's not. No, it's not. He said, Well, I 575 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: want you to I want you to say it is. 576 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it is. It's not. Here's what 577 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: I can tell you, is this a post COVID outpouring 578 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: of God cannot fit into a pre COVID wine skin. 579 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: So get with the program, amen, and God is moving 580 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: in a tremendous way. Because here's the deal. Are you 581 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: ready for this? I'm not avoiding death. As a matter 582 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: of fact, I sign up for it. I die daily. 583 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: I died daily, Paul said, I die daily. Paul said, 584 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: for me to die is gain? What are you talking about? 585 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: You're talking about assuming room temperature? Well, sometimes, right, but 586 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: that ain't what I'm talking about. Actually, what I'm talking 587 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: about is this, this is a year where death, hell 588 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: and the grave has to be dealt with. It's got 589 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: to be dealt with within you. It's got to be 590 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: dealt with within your house. It has to be dealt with. 591 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: You don't just you don't just let it slide anymore. 592 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: You say, this thing is death and it doesn't glorify 593 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: the Lord, and I'm going to deal with it. And 594 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: you gotta do just like the old bobcat, my friend 595 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: with the budcat, get tired of it coming after your stuff, 596 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: and go after it and find it and root it 597 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: out and say you're done. I am done with you. Friends. 598 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: Death cannot be avoided, death must be conquered. And I 599 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: was talking to you about all these different words that 600 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: are in the Bible twenty three different times. I mentioned killeth, 601 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: I mentioned baptism, I mentioned leven, I mentioned hell, And then, guys, 602 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: we come to the word death. And the word death 603 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: is actually in the Bible one hundred and thirty eight times. 604 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: It's like, well, that ain't at twenty three, Yes it is. 605 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: It's six times twenty three. And when I did the 606 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: math on that, and when I saw it was six 607 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: times twenty three, I went good googly moogli, because I 608 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: know what Romans six twenty three says, amen. And it's 609 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: the theme of this year for the wages of sin 610 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: is death, but the gift of God is eternal life 611 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: in Christ Jesus, our Lord. And there's actually a message. 612 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: Not only is the Bible prophetic in what is written, 613 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: the Bible is prophetic in how it is written. Jesus said, 614 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: every job and every tittle must be fulfilled. Every dotting 615 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: of the eye, and every crossing of the tea has 616 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: to prophetesy if it must be fulfilled. Hengmen and man, 617 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: the word death is in the Bible one hundred and 618 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,919 Speaker 1: thirty eight times, and is twenty three is six times 619 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: twenty three. I saw that. It absolutely blew my mind 620 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: because I know that the wages of sin is death, 621 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: but I also know that the gift of God is 622 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Friends, I just 623 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: have to just tell you this. You need to know this. 624 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: This is a year of salvations and man, you can't. 625 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 1: You can't be doing church and ministry without offering Jesus 626 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: to people. It is can't. This is a tremendous year 627 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: of the fear of the Lord. And I'm going to 628 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: do a whole series just on the fear of the 629 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: Lord and what the fear of the Lord is. God's 630 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 1: do you know that the term fear of the Lord 631 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: is in the Bible twenty three times. Yeah, I said, 632 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: well what is that? Okay, the fear of the Lord. 633 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 1: It's it's awesome. I actually love the fear of the Lord. 634 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: But let me tell you what it really comes down to. 635 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: It means means your heart is loyal and consecrated to 636 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: the Lord. That's where the fear of the Lord is. 637 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: It's when you love what God loves and you hate 638 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: what God hates, and you go, I'm not gonna go 639 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: ahead out here acting a fool, even though my flesh 640 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: wants to, or even though even though I have the 641 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: right to do so, I'm not going to do anything 642 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: that Why because I'm loyal to Jesus in this matter, 643 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: or because I fear the Lord. That's what that term 644 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: fear the Lord means. Fear the Lord means that you 645 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: take your walk. Serious. Hey, guys, I want to just 646 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: tell you how you deal with your porn own problem. 647 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: Fear the Lord?

Scariest verse in the whole Bible. 676 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: As Samson went out and knew not that the spirit 677 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: of the Lord had departed from him. Oh, King Jesus, 678 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: that's scary to me. You can live a life in 679 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: such a way. Because he had no fear of the 680 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: Lord anymore. He didn't think he could get in trouble 681 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 1: for anything. He didn't think he could do any wrong. 682 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: It's like, Man, I'm Sampson, and I'm awesome, and I 683 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: got lots of passion, and I'm beautiful, and I'm just 684 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: like a staunt from Beauty and the Beasts. John chapter five, 685 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 1: Verse twenty four. Jesus says, most as surely I say 686 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: to you, he who hears my word and believes in 687 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 1: him who sent me has everlasting life and shall not 688 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,800 Speaker 1: come into judgment, but has passed from death unto life. 689 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 1: That's a baptism scripture right there. Man. I want to 690 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 1: just tell you this. John chapter eight, verse fifty one, 691 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 1: most as surely I say to you, anybody that keeps 692 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: my words shall never see death, And then fifty two says, 693 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: anybody keeps my words shall never taste death. Second Corinthians, 694 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: Chapter one, verse nine. Yes, we had the sentence of 695 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: death in ourselves. That we should not trust in ourselves, 696 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: but in God, who raises the dead. In Verse ten says, 697 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: who delivered us from so great a death and does 698 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,720 Speaker 1: deliver us in whom we trust that he will still 699 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: deliver us. Do you know that the Lord still is 700 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: delivering you from death, from the stench of death, from 701 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 1: the agenda of death, from all those saints Romans six 702 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: twenty three. I close by seeing this friends, that that 703 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: when I look into the year to come, I'm actually 704 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm always excited. I've never had a year at the 705 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 1: beginning of the year that I wasn't excited about the 706 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 1: rest of the year. And this last year, the past 707 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: couple of days, I've been like, you know, man, the 708 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: radar I had before twenty twenty is broke, and it's 709 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: like I have to look at things completely different now. Prophetically, 710 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: it's like, Lord, how do I how do I teach 711 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: your people to hope in you. How do I do that? 712 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: I can keep telling everybody, be brave, be brave, be brave, 713 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: have hope, have hope, have hope, But Lord, how do 714 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: I how do I truly teach that? And the Lord 715 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: is telling me to say this over and over and 716 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: over again. You guys are gonna hear me say it. 717 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: He's like, tell him to love me and tell him 718 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: to fear me. It's like, well, Lord, that doesn't translate 719 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: in our language. People think that that sounds crazy. They 720 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: don't understand. And it's because the Biblical term fear the 721 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: Lord literally is all about your loyalty. It's not about 722 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 1: you being afraid of him, but it's about you being 723 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 1: so loyal to him that you're careful not to mess up. 724 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: And there's not enough of that. And within a body 725 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: of King Jesus, folks cheating on their wives, freaking out, 726 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:11,720 Speaker 1: stealing money, making everything about money, just totally woken out 727 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 1: and be and being limpested in the pulpit, don't even 728 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: want to preach on Hell. Body, the huge majority of 729 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: the body of Jesus doesn't want to hear about Hell, 730 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: and they don't even believe about Hell. I want to 731 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 1: tell you something, you'd better get saved from hell.
