On Prey dot com Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
So a lot of you know that this is a
series that I just started, and it is the most
unique series that I believe we've ever done. It is
the most intense in study and because it's it's uncovering
things that I may have learned in the fourth grade
and the seventh grade and the things that I might
have never learned before that I'm digging up treasure and
I'm coming up with this stuff and I'm going like,
(00:54):
this is incredible, and I love it. Because this series
called The Way Back, I believe that in order for
us to know where we are going, we have to
find our way back. But if we're going to find
our way back, we have to remember where we came from.
And so while I was on vacation. For some of
you don't know this, while I was on vacation for
those of you who are knew before I left already,
(01:15):
of course, has always been a concern. I love America,
I love the United States, I love Hawaii. I think
we live in one of the most beautiful spots on
the planet. I think we live and been blessed to
live in one of the great countries of the world.
And I felt like I needed what is my contribution.
(01:35):
I mean, I can preach on anything pretty much a
book of the Bible, I can preach on whatever subject
that we need to preach on. But I never really
preached on the founding of this nation before we forget,
and I think we've forgotten.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
So I want to bring it back.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So while I was gone, I told my wife, and
we were on vacation, I said, Babe, I want.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
To teach I want to teach this stuff again.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So I went to the Museum of the Bible in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I went to the second floor and the fourth floor,
and on the second floor I was like a kid
in the candy store.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I was like, nobody taught me this.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I don't remember that this said that George Washington was
a deist.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
He wasn't. He was a devout follower of Christ. Are
you there?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I was like blowing my mind. I saw the Gutenberg Bible.
Come on, now, you know how old that is. I
saw stuff like that. I was blowing my mind. I
could not believe. And I came back and I said,
I did. I did four series for television in Washington
with my with my producer Phil Cook, who I love absolutely,
who is the author of the book called The Way Back.
So I'm not repreaching his book. I asked for the title.
(02:34):
Can I have the title? Says, go for it, push
my book to please. And so anyway, Phil Cook's book,
The Way Back, and then sought four of them with
Clint and Gabe in the front row, flew him up
to DC. And then when I came home, I said,
I'm not just repreaching what I learned up there. This
is all brand new content and a little bit of
what I've learned.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So so thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It may not come out with how it did at
the last service, but I hope it. I certainly hope
it's better than the other one. Just kidding, just kidding,
that's a joke. That's a joke.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's a joke. Are you ready for the word? Amen?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Amen?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Amen? Amen. So let's go all right with the time
that I have.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Psalm thirty three, verse twelve says, blessed is a nation
whose God is the Lord, and the people he chose
for his inheritance. Blessed is a nation whose God is
the Lord. Thank you, pastor Frank, I'll see you in
a few moments. Can you give him a hand, everybody?
Can you give the worship team a hand? Oh, oh,
my gosh, worship is amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I love our church.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And so when I began to look at this week one,
we connected the dots all the way from going from
the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, and
then also how it all went along with what God
was doing with the first week we talked about how
the Word of God was important. Somebody asked, well, what
was the big idea? That's a great history lesson. It
(03:51):
was about the word is how we needed to get
back to the word the Gutenberg press. Prior to that,
people were describing, they were writing stuff down. You had
monks with ray or bage hoodies and not a lot
of colors back then, and I'm just kidding, but they
were right under under candlelight spotify, and they were writing
it down, and they would write down and copy something,
(04:13):
and they would.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Take forever to get one scroll of Isaiah.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
But then all of a sudden, Gutenberg develops this press
and now it will take close to almost a year
to reproduce the Bible. The Bible was rare in those days.
As a matter of fact, I told you before, I'm
gonna tell you it again. They only a church, only
had one, and it was so big, and they chained
it to the pulpit, and they had a replica of
a chained Bible to the pulpit, so nobody would walk
(04:36):
away with the word of God powerful. But then Martin
Luther knows that there was something wrong that the word
of God wasn't being given to the people. The people
did not read the word. Therefore it was in Latin,
it was not in their language. And so he knew
that if the people read the word of God, it
would have set them free, and it would and it
would allow them to live the life that God called
(04:57):
him to live, and to live in unity, to live
in freedom, to live in liberty. And so Martin Luther
takes his ninety five thesises, put them on the Church
of in Germany and nails it down and says, this
is everything that's wrong that needs to be fixed. And
there we had the protest Reforms, or the Protestant Reformation
that gave birth came out of what was happening with
(05:18):
the Gutenberg press. Then the week before this last week,
I thought about how the Magna Carta was so critical.
Like I didn't even know what the Magna carta was.
I told you, guys, I thought it was a credit card,
you know, the Magna carta. Are you brought your Magnaicarta? No,
I got my American Express But anyway, but it's not.
It actually was powerful. It was the first document that
they know of in history that actually told a king
(05:38):
that you can have no more power than this, and
you are not above the law, but you are under
the law. And it was put together by the church,
and the church brought it together and they met with
the barons, and it was a church that scribed it out.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It was a church that wrote it out and took
it to.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
The different precincts of the different districts in Great Britain
to make sure that it didn't go into the hands
of the sheriffs because the sheriff would have burned it,
thrown into the into the fire. So the church was
the caretaker of the magna carta that says, the king
is not above it, he is under it. There is
no what you call Totellerianism. And then say that correct,
there is no abso there is.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No you are.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You cannot live or lead in tyranny because before that,
any king say I want you, I want your pig,
and I want your house, and by the way, I
want your wife, and I want your children, and he
could have done that at any time. Now here's the law,
you can go no further. But that did not That
wasn't always adhere to, It wasn't always respected at that time.
(06:36):
So then no, all of a sudden you have religious
persecution going on in England, and in England because of
that religious persecution even though let mean think about it,
it was the Church of England, but you have religious persecution.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It was a state religion.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It wasn't necessarily a religion of or denominations that were
free at that time.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So the Pilgrims and the and what you would call the.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Puritans decided that they wanted to go to America because
they heard all about it, because they wanted to be
able to worship the way that they wanted to worship,
because they were being held back by the way that
they would follow the Lord in the way that they
wanted to express their love for God.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So they got on the Mayflower.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And when the Mayflower came over at forty one families,
of that forty one families and the picture up hears
on the screen those forty one families on November eleventh,
sixteen twenty. Before they got off that ship, the captain
made sure that nobody is leaving this ship until we
understand that there is a rule of law. We will
be under a law. It will also be God's law,
(07:38):
and this is the new freedom. Because he was hearing
stories of about people wanting the buccaloose and go do
their own thing, do a land grab. So that's why
the Mayflower Compact was so important. The Mayflower Compact, according
to historians, was influenced by the Magna Carta. And when
you see the fragility of these thirteen colonies that came together,
and you're thinking to yourself, my gosh, this thing could
(07:59):
have gone crazy at anymore, and it eventually did in
the mid eight of eighteen hundreds, but at least during
this moment in time that God was putting it all together,
I began to be blown away on how I saw
the hand of God in every situation, even coming out
of Europe, and how it began to affect us when
the people from the Mayflower Compact finally settled in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
(08:22):
While they were settled, when they came out of Cape Cod, Massachusetts,
let me tell you now, they were on fire for God.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
They were living the dream that they always wanted to live.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
But then the second and third generation decided that they
wanted to live their way, and so they didn't have
the devotion to God and to the Church that their
parents had.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And it sounds like the Book of Judges.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The Bible tells us in the Book of Judges that
in those days Israel had no king, so everyone did
what seemed right in their own eyes.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So it was that kind of a moment.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And so in this moment, God begins to do something
and he allows his hand of protection to be taken off.
Now their crops or not like they should be. Now
they've got pestilence, and they had their own level of plagues.
God often does these things in order to get a
people's attention. He's not just does it to a nation,
doesn't just didn't just do it to a colony. He
(09:15):
also did it does it to people like me and you.
When God wants our attention, he will often allow pain.
When God wants us our attention, he will often.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Be silent that we have to go seek for him.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
The Bible says that deep calls to deep, and it
is in those moments that we are longing to hear
from the Lord in answer in which we are praying.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
God uses those moments to bring us.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I believe, like Joseph, that what the enemy meant for evil,
God will turn into good. I believe like even this
pandemic and this thing, the devil's plan employ has been
to always divide us from the very moment he wanted
us shut down, from the very moment he wanted to
separate us from one another. And so the devil will
use anything he can to divide. I'm gonna use race
to divide, I'm gonna use this thing to divide. I'm
(09:58):
gonna use that thing to divide. And the division. Before
you know it, we are divided along the lines of
arguing if we should get vaccinated or not. I'm here
to tell you that's a personal decision that you have
to make on your own. However, I also want you
to know that my heart is wrenched over what has
been going on lately in this state.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And we know what we need. We need a revival.
We need a revival because it's the only thing that's
going to fix this.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm convinced I'm a I don't have to convince you
that I'm a bright man. I'm a bright man, and
I've been watching as student of history, and I watch
stuff and.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I don't I trust me. I don't go down rabbit holes,
and I'm watching this.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
If there's anything that's gonna fix this, we have proven
it's not gonna be in the White House. It's gonna
be in God's house. God's house. Somebody say amen. So
today I want to preach on revival, if that's okay,
because when I look throughout history that this.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Country could have fallen apart.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
We have so many problems and so many challenges, and
more is being exposed. I'm show some love to this
side now and I think about all of the challenges
that we've got as a nation and all of the
things that we've cleaned up. At the same time when
I think about, yes, we've had our challenges, but we
are the experience of democracy for the last two hundred
and fifty years has been working, but it's it's fragile.
(11:21):
If I look at cal Thomas's book, and when I
read one of his books when I was on my break,
he said that the average dynasty considers America a dynasty,
was two hundred and fifty years of strength. After that
two hundred and fifty years, they no longer were strong.
They still existed, but they no longer to cease to
exist with that same existence of strength. We are right
about it at two hundred and fifty fifty year mark.
(11:43):
If there anything that's going to turn, it's not going
to be. It's not going to be through the normal
ways that we think this is going to change. We
need the power of God. The power of God is
going to have to move. And I tell you right now,
in sixteen twenty sixteen seventy, where the people's faith in
God went down, God began to do something. He allowed situations,
He allowed scenarios, and is what does God do whenever
(12:05):
he wants to change the nation. What does God do
whenever he wants to bring in awakening? He raises up
a man. The man was Jonathan Edwards. God doesn't just
take pixie dust and sprinkle it on the nation and go,
you are look pixie dust. Ah, God raises a man
from the dust. He raises a man from the dust.
And when he raises a man from the dust, he
raised up the great Jonathan Edwards. Jonathan Edwards went to
(12:27):
Yale University, graduated in seventeen twenty three. When he went
to Yale, he was so incredibly smart, so bright that
this man, let me tell you, he began to preach.
But when he preached, he was a philosopher and the theologian,
and he was a little bit stuffy. And the churches
in America at that time were boring. But let me
tell you, when Jonathan he came against this thing called.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
The halfway Covenant. Have you heard of it?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I was surprised to hear that there was church memberships
called the halfway covenant. The halfway covenant, I'm glad you asked,
was when you could just sign that I don't really
want to be converted, but I want the benefits of
the church, because back in those days, the church was
the center of any village or any town, the center.
So I want I didn't want to be ostracized from
society because I don't want to be isolated because I
(13:11):
don't want to do what you guys do, but I
still want to be a part of it.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So they signed the halfway Covenant.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
The halfway covenant was like, I'm only half in and
I'm half out. I'm not hot, I'm not cold, I'm lukewarm.
I'm right in the middle. I'm straddling the fence. And
anytime you have a halfway covenant with God, and anyway
you have a halfway commitment to your faith in Jesus Christ,
you're gonna be halfway.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
You know I'm talking about God wants you all in,
not halfway.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Somebody's saying, man, so Jonathan Edwards, I'm speaking so fast
because I got so much information. But Jonathan Edwards was
such a philosopher and the theologian. But the brother was
extremely nearsighted. He was nearsighted, like like this kind nearsighted.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
He would read it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
He's like, poor guys didn't have glasses like like we
have today, don't have contacts like we have today.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
This Bible is my favorite Bible.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Rebound twice on the outside, cowhide leather by the way,
And you know what it is, so i'll tell you
right now. But it's in twelve font so I have
a hard time reading it. This is in fourteen. Some
of this is sixteenth fond Never mind it. It's none
of your business. But the brother was reading it. He
would read it. He could go like this, and he
was The worst thing was he was a monotone preacher.
(14:15):
So whenever he would preach, the power of God would
fall and he would preach, and he would just read.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
He was expressionless. He had his he was so close.
He was cross eyed. He was cross eyed.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Whenever he would read, and he would read, and he says,
and he wrote a sermon called Sinners in the Hands
of an Angry God. And when he did it was monotone,
no expression. But people fell down all over the pace.
People were crying and weeping. There was a powerful repentance,
and Jonathan Edwards began one of the greatest revivals, or
(14:46):
actually the great awakening.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Then you bring in a man named George Whitfield.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
George Whitfield came from Oxford, Oxford, England. Chop and he
came from Oxford, England, and he came with his his charisma, with.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
His influence on evangelists.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
And when he came he was an ordained minister at
the age of twenty two, and he started preaching in America.
He came here seven times, had eighteen thousand sermons that
he's preached, and they were all original. Apparently I'd like
to get my hands on that and all of these things.
And when he just preached, they said hundreds of thousands
of people came to Christ. Every time God saw that
(15:23):
there were people who cried out to him. There were
God used preachers, not just preachers. He used patriots. Not
just patriots. He would use he would use what do
you call those guys? Are the black hats and the
I already talked about them, the Pilgrims, and they were
the Puritans and all the letter p and all the
pious people.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
We need a revival, We need a revival.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
And the only way that I heard that revival starts
is if you draw a circle and you get in
the middle. And he said, Lord, start with me. First,
Start with me. First begin with me. Put a personal
revival in my heart. Set me off file. Because the
difference between a revival and awakening revivals happened in the church.
(16:14):
Revival is when people get bored. Revivals, when people get lukewarm, revivals,
when people not reading the Bible. We need revivals. Start
a personal revival. And where God does a revival with us,
maybe he's going to do it with other churches at
the same time. Come out, we need a revival. But
then after we need a revival, maybe God will do
an awakening.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Awakening is on a region, it is on a place.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
The last time that we saw one in America was
in the nineteen seventies during the Jesus People movement, where
hippies who were not judged came to church for the
very first time and Chuck Smith let them sit there
with their baggy jeans or no jeans. Some of them
had no snippers, they were barefoot, corduroys. They were like
they were stink. The women had hander their arms, you
know what I'm talking about. That's what it was in
the seventies. Make Love not war. All of that. You
(16:56):
might because some people admitting that in the third row
and you know what church, I love it. They came
to church and I'm telling you right now, and God
did a move and my pastor Ralph Moore came out
of that movement.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But it's been too long. It's been too long. When
we look at the.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Different revivals, you gotta think about the Businessman Revival in
eighteen fifty seven, and the dude's name was.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Jeremiah Landfair out of New York City.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Jeremiah Landfair was a lay pastor, but he was a
businessman and at twelve noon on a Wednesday, he would
hand out tracks. Everybody, come and meet me for prayer,
Come and meet me for prayer.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
For first one that he did.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
He was all along for thirty minutes and slowly five
people trickle in. By the next day they had the
next one, he had one hundred, and it began to
take off. It was a businessman's revival that spread into
Europe as well in England, and it was powerful. We're
not talking about a couple thousand, We're talking about tens
of thousand. One hundred thousand eventually would be affected. In
(17:51):
nineteen oh six, they're getting ahead of myself.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
He's Azusa. The Zusa Street Revival, and I wrote a
paper on that.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I can't find it because it's an old floppy disc.
But when I wrote, if you know what a floppy
disk is, then you owed. If you have no idea,
then you're all about that TikTok, right, And so in
nineteen oh six, in nineteen fifteen, William Seymour, William Seymour
(18:17):
was a man who just sought the power of God
in Los Angeles. He just wanted God to come down.
And you know what, people wouldn't give him a chance.
But man, people started showing up at that livery stable
that he was running. And when they came here, the
fire of God fell because they saw the earnestness of
people to repent for their sin and want personal revival.
That personal revival started to take off, where one of
(18:39):
the greatest revivals in the history of America, called the
Azusa Street Revival, gave birth to some of the movements.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That we have today.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That if I'm not mistaken, the Assemblies of God, if
I'm not mistaken the Church of God in Christ, if
I'm not mistaken, the Holiness movement.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
All of these different movements took off because of.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
This bowtie ratio, not black, not white, but and in
between powerful move of God where God used it all
across America. It affected the denomination that I came out
of four Square with a woman named Amy Semple McPherson
was one of the biggest preachers America had ever seen.
As a matter of fact, she was so popular that
in the nineteen twenties and thirties, the song Hooray for Hollywood,
(19:21):
her name is in that song. They say that actors
came from all over Charlie Chaplin was sneaking to her
services because she was already doing services that we would go, oh,
that's the show she was doing the show back then
for show revival revival. When I think about one of
(19:41):
the greatest revivals we're going to talk about in the
history of the world, it happened right here in Hawaii,
and that I will cover, I promise you next week
in Hawaii Kanakamau Ali touched Powerful and I'm gonna talk
about some other things when it goes along with that.
But when I look at the one of the greatest revivals,
you have to go all the way back to the Bible.
In you have to go to second chronicles, in first
(20:02):
and second chronicles. It's after first and second kings. When
you go to first and second chronicles. In second chronicles,
you're gonna read a story of a very young boy
who became king his great grandfather. His name was Hezekiah. Hezekia.
What a cool name, Hezekiah. And by the way, good worship.
Hezekia Walker. Just throwing that in. I don't know him personally,
but hey, Hezekiah, you see this, give me a shout out.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But anyway, Hezekia Walker, but Hezekiah.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Actually sorry, just so if you if you knew, I
joke around a lot and I throw stuff in, So
just just just be a be aware. Okay, it's like
it's like a it's like a quick punch. Anyway, just
just keep it a going. So when I think about Hezekiah,
Hezekile brought back worship, but he also brought back the
tides and worship. When he brings that back, watch this,
(20:46):
he brings it back. God blesses them abundantly. The abundance
of the blessing of God is so great that envoys
come from Babylon. They come all the way from Babylon
Nebu Kunez's men, and they come and he gives him
the royal treatment.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
He shows the palace, he shows him his house.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
He check out this pool, check out the temple, and
check out the treasury.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Look how great we have done. Look how blessed we
are as a nation.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
And Nebuknezer saw this, and his envoys went back and said,
we've got to take over Jerusalem.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
That was the very beginning.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
God was displeased with him, sends a prophet, What did
you just do?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You just showed them your bank account, You showed them
your crypto. But anyway, moving right along. So now he
has a grandson.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
He has a son named Manassa, who is wicked, didn't
follow his father Hezekiah's ways. A grandson named Amon Amon dies,
and now what he has left, we have a young
boy whose name is Josiah.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Josiah is eight years old.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
When he takes the throne, God is going to use
him and his priest Hilkiah. Hilkiah is the overseer of
this young man as the age of eight until he
comes of age, in order to lead the country and
the nation with guidance by himself. The Bible tells us
that he followed the ways of the Lord. He loved
the Lord with all of his heart. And then it
says in verse three that during the eighth year, Now
(22:02):
this is about the greatest revival I can find in
Israel's history.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
During the eighth year of his reign, while he was still.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Young, sixteen years old, Josiah began to seek the God
of his ancestor David. Sixteen years old, sixteen sixteen, sixteen,
fourteen thirteen.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Anybody, God can use you. You don't have to wait till
you get to college. Did God use you now? Did
God use you?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Seek the God of your mother and father? Seek God.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Then it says in the twelfth year, at the age twenty,
he began to purify Judah.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
How did he purify Judah?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Well, you have to purify Judah by in Jerusalem destroying
all the pagan shrines and the astrarah polls, and the
carved idols and the cast images. What was that doing
in Jerusalem? Exactly right? These are detestable items. This is
like sex cults that was going on. And these things
were happening in the city of Jerusalem and outside of
(23:02):
the Temple, and I'm sure in the temple as well.
You know, God's very special presence was isn't in the temple.
God's presence was in the temple. God would pick out
of the entire universe, one people, one nation, and one
city to allow himself to be contained there. Incredible. Then
it goes on and say sorry. Then it goes on
(23:23):
to say that he ordered the altars of bail be
demolished in verse four, and that the incense altars which
stood above them be broken down. He also made sure
that the astropos, the carved idols, and the cast images
were smashed and scattered over the graves of those who
had sacrificed to them. And he burned the bones of
the pagan priests on their own altars. And so he
(23:43):
purified Judah and Jerusalem.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He did it all. He went all the way, all
the way. Listen to this. Look, if you.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Want a personal revival, it doesn't just start with setting
in a circle. It means number one, you got to
seek God in clean house. You got to seek God
in clean house. You got to seek the Lord and
clean house, not just your home, but clean things up
that are going on in your life. What is what
is in your environment that is causing you to go
back to sin? What is in your heart? That keeps
getting you to the bad places again. What are you
(24:10):
still watching? What are you still participating in? What are
those things in your life that you know that if
you don't stop, you can't have a clean house. And
God wants you to clean house. Every time you clean it,
guess what the enemy tries to get back in. So
it's constant cleaning of the house, not sweeping it under
the rug, that gets your heart clean. You gotta seek
God and clean house in the name of Jesus. Somebody say, hey, man.
(24:33):
Then it goes on to say in verse eight that
in the eighteenth year, at age twenty six, of his
brain watched this. After he purified the land of the temple,
Josiah appointed Schaffhan Messiah Joah. Siah Massa says, Sema says same.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
God, someone you know, let's know.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Usa Sah, there you go, very good? All right, okay, okay,
all right, all right. I just couldn't help. So you're like, okay,
we'll explain later on. Kelly boy Denima, that's my brother.
So anyway, moving right along, miss Let's go back Chaffan
Isaiah Joah and the Royal historian to repair the temple
(25:13):
of the Lord his God. Then number two, it says
point number two. That's so smooth. But here it is
open the word and open your heart. Open the word
and open your heart. Because why why am I saying that?
Because look at verse fourteen. So Hilkiah the priest check
this out. Found the Book of the Law the Lord
had already written by Moses. That's the Book of Deuteronomy.
(25:34):
I read that last week, part of it, the Book
of Deuteronomy. He finds the Book of Deuteronomy written by Moses,
and Hilkiah the priest said to Chaffan, the court secretary,
I have found the Book of the Law in the
temple of the Lord. My question is, how did.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You lose it in the temple?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
You lost the the scroll of Deudoronomy in the temple.
There's not a lot of those. I don't know if
there's only one. I think there's only one in Israel
at that time. And your guys lost it.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
You lost it? Is that a trick to you? It
is right?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Can I tell you something. People leave bibles in this
building all the time. All the time we got we
were looking. We're looking at the front page. We're looking
to see if they got in any engraving, and it's
not the same thing. Though the Word of God was
not being preached in the house of the Lord, then
I never may may I never be guilty of that
(26:40):
that the word of God wasn't preached. They couldn't find
the Word of God because someone had lost it. It
was not a priority. And if you want personal revival
in your life, the priority, I promise you, is not
to be self righteous.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It is to be fed by.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
The Word of God. And when this feeds you, I
promise you. There are times I don't want to read.
I'm gonna can I be honest? There are times I
don't want to read. There are times that I don't
want to read. I wake up in the morning, I
want coffee and I want to and I kind of
my habit my FAMILYE like on Instagram. And I promise
you there are times that I'm like, I want to
read the paper.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
The paper's rubbish.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I want.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I want to do it myself. Don't want to read.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Can I confess to you that there are times I
don't want to read the Bible?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Right?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Oh my gosh, honey, he doesn't want to read the
Bible sometimes, I know. I promise you, there are times
like I still want to do my devotions today, but.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I'm the pastor and I have to. I have to,
but I don't just have to. I get to, and
then when I get to, I actually feel like I
want to. And it's like that workout that you don't
want to do, but it's not really the same. I
don't want to work out, and when you get done,
you feel so good about yourself because you actually worked out.
(27:58):
So when you actually read your Bible, you actually feel better.
Then it becomes like I want to. I want to
every morning. I want to be in his presence, and
then you meet him. That's when you build momentum. Once
you stop, you gotta build it back up. And man,
I tell you right now, when you find the Word
of God as your priority again, you never know what's
gonna happen. But look at what happened, it says then Josiah.
When the king heard what was written in the law,
(28:19):
he tore his clothes in despair. That's how he did it.
Back then, I've I don't know whatever. He just tore it,
tor it sack cloth and ashes tears it. And Hilkiah
the priest found the book of the Law and When
the king heard it, he tore his clothes in despair.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Then he gave these orders.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Everyby say orders orders, he's ordering Helkaia, Akbar, Chaffan and
Asiah to go to the temple and speak to the
Lord for me for all of the remnants of Israel
and Judah. Inquire about the words, Honolulu Mililani. I didn't
say anything to you. I didn't ignore you. Just we're
just having fun in here. Listen to this about the
words written in the scroll that has been found. For
the Lord's great anger has been poured out on us.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Watch this.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
The Lord's great anger is being poured out on us
because our ancestors have not obeyed the word of the Lord.
We have not been doing everything the Scross says that
we must do. How's this? They find the word of
the Lord, and he begins to read the word of
the Lord, and he is mind blowing because now he's
reading about the blessings and the curses part. He goes,
(29:22):
we must be on the curse's part. We had the blessings,
now we're on the curses. Go seek the Lord for us,
go find out. Oh my gosh, and I wonder just
throwing it out there is the Lord's hand been removed?
Or are we in a judgment season because of the past,
(29:45):
not the year, not the year before that, but all
of it. The past. This is why we need revival.
This is why we can't. We gotta continue on over here,
We gotta continue on. We need a longer board. We
have put two boards together, two boards together. Did it
happen right here in Hawaii in two thousand and one?
(30:06):
Did it happen right here that a revival came because
people had personal revival and an awakening took place?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
He said?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
He, Oh God, and then look at what the Lord says.
The God of Isoi goes back, says, tell this to
your king.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
He says, verse twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You were sorry and humbled before you before your god, Frank,
you can come up, police. And when you heard his
words against this city and its people. See, look, you
humbled yourself. You humbled yourself, and you tore your clothing
in despair and wept before me in presence.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
And I and I have indeed heard you, says the Lord.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I haven't indeed, I have indeed heard you. I've heard you,
I've heard your country.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I've heard you, guys, I've heard you, So I will
not send the promised disaster until after you have died
and been buried in peace. You yourself would not see the
disaster I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Bring on the city and all of its people. And
then zero point three.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I could have word smith this better, but I apologize,
but this is this is my last service here. It
is proclaim his truths and renew your commitment. Proclaim His truths,
renew your commitment. So he brings all the elders together.
How would they do?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
That?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Brings all the elders, all the elders from Israel, from Jerusalem,
wherever you could gather them from in Judah.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
You know it's a divided nation, right, remember Judah to
the south.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Israel kept the name there on the north, but we
retain Jerusalem. Brings all the elders together, and there the
king reads the entire book of the Law, the Book
of Deuteronomy that he found in the Lord's temple. And
he required everyone in Jerusalem and the people of Benjamin
to make a similar pledge.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And they do.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
But look at the very last verse. I'm gonna hurry
some skipping over some stuff. And throughout the rest of
his lifetime, they did not Honolulu. They did not, meaning
they did not turn away from the Lord, God of
their ancestors.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
They did not turn away. They did not turn away
while he was still alive.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
And then he celebrates number four, God's goodness and he
serves as people, so he takes up a he brings
so much food to the table.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
He really does.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
But then it says in verse one that Josiah announced
that the Passover the Lord would be celebrated in Jerusalem.
Passover is gonna be celebrated in Jerusalem. They were not
celebrating the Passover. You lost the word of God in
the house of the Lord, and you are not celebrating Passover.
(32:33):
Since Hezekiah glad Josiah became king because God didn't just
put pixie dust on Jerusalem.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
He raised a man from the dust.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
And when he raised this man from the dust, this
man took on his personal mission to say, I'm going
to affect everything that I can do. And you might
be thinking to yourself, maybe you might be thinking, what
do I do? What is my role? How can I
bring change? You can This whole personal revival is about
a mission to reach more people for Jesus.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
That's why we do what we do.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
This is not a shelter from the storm. Come on,
don't get this wrong. This is this is where we
This is the mighty fortresses our God. Yes, but this
is the place where we get equipped. And this is
the place where we go out. This is the place
where we we invade. This is the place where we love.
This is the place where we where we do what
we need to do. A God puts on you, and
you according to your scripture, in order to make change
(33:25):
in Hawaii and in this state, and no matter where
you are in the world today, I'm telling you right
now that you need a passover. What's the passover? A
passover celebration. One let me tell you, everybody, look at one.
He's so handsome back there, and one one back then.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
In the Book of Exodus, after four hundred years of
captivity in Egypt, being treated as slaves, God sends a
deliverer raised up from the dust, food out of the water.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
His name is Moses, and Moses becomes a prince of Egypt.
But then he goes to the backside of the desert
because he tries to take justice in his own hand
and administers it in the wrong way. Even the son
of a king. Can't just do what he just did.
So he runs away all the way to the Sinai Peninsula.
He's in the backside of the desert. I don't know
what the front side is, but he's on the backside.
And on the backside of the desert, God burning bush.
(34:15):
God speaks to him, Let my people go. He goes
all the way back. You've got ten plagues on the
final one, God says to him.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Tell the people to get.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
A lamb, spotless, beautiful, unblemished lamb. Not the one that's
got what three legs, the ones to get all four,
Not the one that's missing an ear. No, no, no,
that's not good enough. The one that's got everything, Not
the one that's blemished. And he says, I want you
to take the blood and grab a hiss up branch,
and I want you to take it with the bowl.
And I want you to make sure that every family
(34:45):
member takes the blood and puts it over the door
post of their home, so that when the Angel of
Death that I'm sending to take out the firstborn of
every human and animal in Egypt, that there will be
wailing like never before in all of eachy, so that
they'll finally let my people go into the desert and
worship me and follow me, he says, tell them to
(35:05):
do it, and they do it.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
And then that night the Israelites pack up. They eat
it in haste. They eat it with bitter herbs.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
They eat it and they stand and they don't sit,
and they eat it with unleavened bread because they didn't
have time for that thing to yeast up.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
So they eat it and they're remembering this.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
And God said, from now on, every year you will
celebrate Passover. And when you celebrate Passover, you will remember
your journey from captivity and slavery into freedom. And don't
ever forget the power and the liberty and the freedom
that the blood has bought for you. And don't ever
(35:44):
forget of the blood that was shed for the liberty
and the freedom of you, and what we had in
this country. And in Jesus name, somebody say amen, Amen.
So two big things that they made. They had a
halfway covenant, not all the way. And you can't go halfway.
(36:10):
There's not scales half on this side, half on that side.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
That's not getting you into heaven.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
You cannot go halfway in a world like this You
cannot be lukewarm in the world like this because you
don't know when Christ is coming back. And you know
they've been saying that for two thousand years. Two thousand years.
You don't know when Jesus is coming back. But guess
what that might have been years now. It feels like seconds.
It feels like we are seconds away. Get right, not
(36:39):
one time, but all the time. Have a personal revival.
Don't go halfway. Don't lose the word of the Lord
that you God has already given to you. They lost it.
Don't forsake the blood. Plead the blood. Come on, everybody,
Ask for the blood for the healing. Ask the blood
for salvation. Look the lamb of God that takes away
the sin of the world. That's who he is. In
the name of Jesus, Come up, pray Father, we just
(37:00):
come before you today.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
In Jesus name and Lord, I pray right now, then
you would come in power. Then you would come quickly
and swiftly. In Jesus name and Father.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I pray that as you begin to stir up in
our hearts, Father, everything that's going on in this world
and in this state, Father, that you let us be.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Why is the serpents and innocent as doves.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Be gentle as those doves, Lord, but wise at the
same time, the Father, we continue to lift up the state,
We lift up the nation, officials who are leading, and Father,
we pray that if you could do something with Nebukenezer,
you can do something here too. So Lord, we honor them,
we thank them, but we love you. We honor you
in the name of Jesus. And everybody said, ay man, Hey, everybody,

Speaker 2 (00:29):
On Prey dot com Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
So a lot of you know that this is a
series that I just started, and it is the most
unique series that I believe we've ever done. It is
the most intense in study and because it's it's uncovering
things that I may have learned in the fourth grade
and the seventh grade and the things that I might
have never learned before that I'm digging up treasure and
I'm coming up with this stuff and I'm going like,
(00:54):
this is incredible, and I love it. Because this series
called The Way Back, I believe that in order for
us to know where we are going, we have to
find our way back. But if we're going to find
our way back, we have to remember where we came from.
And so while I was on vacation. For some of
you don't know this, while I was on vacation for
those of you who are knew before I left already,
(01:15):
of course, has always been a concern. I love America,
I love the United States, I love Hawaii. I think
we live in one of the most beautiful spots on
the planet. I think we live and been blessed to
live in one of the great countries of the world.
And I felt like I needed what is my contribution.
(01:35):
I mean, I can preach on anything pretty much a
book of the Bible, I can preach on whatever subject
that we need to preach on. But I never really
preached on the founding of this nation before we forget,
and I think we've forgotten.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
So I want to bring it back.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So while I was gone, I told my wife, and
we were on vacation, I said, Babe, I want.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
To teach I want to teach this stuff again.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So I went to the Museum of the Bible in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I went to the second floor and the fourth floor,
and on the second floor I was like a kid
in the candy store.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I was like, nobody taught me this.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I don't remember that this said that George Washington was
a deist.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
He wasn't. He was a devout follower of Christ. Are
you there?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I was like blowing my mind. I saw the Gutenberg Bible.
Come on, now, you know how old that is. I
saw stuff like that. I was blowing my mind. I
could not believe. And I came back and I said,
I did. I did four series for television in Washington
with my with my producer Phil Cook, who I love absolutely,
who is the author of the book called The Way Back.
So I'm not repreaching his book. I asked for the title.
(02:34):
Can I have the title? Says, go for it, push
my book to please. And so anyway, Phil Cook's book,
The Way Back, and then sought four of them with
Clint and Gabe in the front row, flew him up
to DC. And then when I came home, I said,
I'm not just repreaching what I learned up there. This
is all brand new content and a little bit of
what I've learned.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So so thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It may not come out with how it did at
the last service, but I hope it. I certainly hope
it's better than the other one. Just kidding, just kidding,
that's a joke. That's a joke.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's a joke. Are you ready for the word? Amen?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Amen?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Amen? Amen. So let's go all right with the time
that I have.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Psalm thirty three, verse twelve says, blessed is a nation
whose God is the Lord, and the people he chose
for his inheritance. Blessed is a nation whose God is
the Lord. Thank you, pastor Frank, I'll see you in
a few moments. Can you give him a hand, everybody?
Can you give the worship team a hand? Oh, oh,
my gosh, worship is amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I love our church.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And so when I began to look at this week one,
we connected the dots all the way from going from
the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, and
then also how it all went along with what God
was doing with the first week we talked about how
the Word of God was important. Somebody asked, well, what
was the big idea? That's a great history lesson. It
(03:51):
was about the word is how we needed to get
back to the word the Gutenberg press. Prior to that,
people were describing, they were writing stuff down. You had
monks with ray or bage hoodies and not a lot
of colors back then, and I'm just kidding, but they
were right under under candlelight spotify, and they were writing
it down, and they would write down and copy something,
(04:13):
and they would.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Take forever to get one scroll of Isaiah.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
But then all of a sudden, Gutenberg develops this press
and now it will take close to almost a year
to reproduce the Bible. The Bible was rare in those days.
As a matter of fact, I told you before, I'm
gonna tell you it again. They only a church, only
had one, and it was so big, and they chained
it to the pulpit, and they had a replica of
a chained Bible to the pulpit, so nobody would walk
(04:36):
away with the word of God powerful. But then Martin
Luther knows that there was something wrong that the word
of God wasn't being given to the people. The people
did not read the word. Therefore it was in Latin,
it was not in their language. And so he knew
that if the people read the word of God, it
would have set them free, and it would and it
would allow them to live the life that God called
(04:57):
him to live, and to live in unity, to live
in freedom, to live in liberty. And so Martin Luther
takes his ninety five thesises, put them on the Church
of in Germany and nails it down and says, this
is everything that's wrong that needs to be fixed. And
there we had the protest Reforms, or the Protestant Reformation
that gave birth came out of what was happening with
(05:18):
the Gutenberg press. Then the week before this last week,
I thought about how the Magna Carta was so critical.
Like I didn't even know what the Magna carta was.
I told you, guys, I thought it was a credit card,
you know, the Magna carta. Are you brought your Magnaicarta? No,
I got my American Express But anyway, but it's not.
It actually was powerful. It was the first document that
they know of in history that actually told a king
(05:38):
that you can have no more power than this, and
you are not above the law, but you are under
the law. And it was put together by the church,
and the church brought it together and they met with
the barons, and it was a church that scribed it out.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It was a church that wrote it out and took
it to.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
The different precincts of the different districts in Great Britain
to make sure that it didn't go into the hands
of the sheriffs because the sheriff would have burned it,
thrown into the into the fire. So the church was
the caretaker of the magna carta that says, the king
is not above it, he is under it. There is
no what you call Totellerianism. And then say that correct,
there is no abso there is.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No you are.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You cannot live or lead in tyranny because before that,
any king say I want you, I want your pig,
and I want your house, and by the way, I
want your wife, and I want your children, and he
could have done that at any time. Now here's the law,
you can go no further. But that did not That
wasn't always adhere to, It wasn't always respected at that time.
(06:36):
So then no, all of a sudden you have religious
persecution going on in England, and in England because of
that religious persecution even though let mean think about it,
it was the Church of England, but you have religious persecution.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It was a state religion.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It wasn't necessarily a religion of or denominations that were
free at that time.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So the Pilgrims and the and what you would call the.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Puritans decided that they wanted to go to America because
they heard all about it, because they wanted to be
able to worship the way that they wanted to worship,
because they were being held back by the way that
they would follow the Lord in the way that they
wanted to express their love for God.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So they got on the Mayflower.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And when the Mayflower came over at forty one families,
of that forty one families and the picture up hears
on the screen those forty one families on November eleventh,
sixteen twenty. Before they got off that ship, the captain
made sure that nobody is leaving this ship until we
understand that there is a rule of law. We will
be under a law. It will also be God's law,
(07:38):
and this is the new freedom. Because he was hearing
stories of about people wanting the buccaloose and go do
their own thing, do a land grab. So that's why
the Mayflower Compact was so important. The Mayflower Compact, according
to historians, was influenced by the Magna Carta. And when
you see the fragility of these thirteen colonies that came together,
and you're thinking to yourself, my gosh, this thing could
(07:59):
have gone crazy at anymore, and it eventually did in
the mid eight of eighteen hundreds, but at least during
this moment in time that God was putting it all together,
I began to be blown away on how I saw
the hand of God in every situation, even coming out
of Europe, and how it began to affect us when
the people from the Mayflower Compact finally settled in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
(08:22):
While they were settled, when they came out of Cape Cod, Massachusetts,
let me tell you now, they were on fire for God.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
They were living the dream that they always wanted to live.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
But then the second and third generation decided that they
wanted to live their way, and so they didn't have
the devotion to God and to the Church that their
parents had.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And it sounds like the Book of Judges.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The Bible tells us in the Book of Judges that
in those days Israel had no king, so everyone did
what seemed right in their own eyes.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So it was that kind of a moment.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And so in this moment, God begins to do something
and he allows his hand of protection to be taken off.
Now their crops or not like they should be. Now
they've got pestilence, and they had their own level of plagues.
God often does these things in order to get a
people's attention. He's not just does it to a nation,
doesn't just didn't just do it to a colony. He
(09:15):
also did it does it to people like me and you.
When God wants our attention, he will often allow pain.
When God wants us our attention, he will often.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Be silent that we have to go seek for him.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
The Bible says that deep calls to deep, and it
is in those moments that we are longing to hear
from the Lord in answer in which we are praying.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
God uses those moments to bring us.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I believe, like Joseph, that what the enemy meant for evil,
God will turn into good. I believe like even this
pandemic and this thing, the devil's plan employ has been
to always divide us from the very moment he wanted
us shut down, from the very moment he wanted to
separate us from one another. And so the devil will
use anything he can to divide. I'm gonna use race
to divide, I'm gonna use this thing to divide. I'm
(09:58):
gonna use that thing to divide. And the division. Before
you know it, we are divided along the lines of
arguing if we should get vaccinated or not. I'm here
to tell you that's a personal decision that you have
to make on your own. However, I also want you
to know that my heart is wrenched over what has
been going on lately in this state.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And we know what we need. We need a revival.
We need a revival because it's the only thing that's
going to fix this.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm convinced I'm a I don't have to convince you
that I'm a bright man. I'm a bright man, and
I've been watching as student of history, and I watch
stuff and.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I don't I trust me. I don't go down rabbit holes,
and I'm watching this.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
If there's anything that's gonna fix this, we have proven
it's not gonna be in the White House. It's gonna
be in God's house. God's house. Somebody say amen. So
today I want to preach on revival, if that's okay,
because when I look throughout history that this.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Country could have fallen apart.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
We have so many problems and so many challenges, and
more is being exposed. I'm show some love to this
side now and I think about all of the challenges
that we've got as a nation and all of the
things that we've cleaned up. At the same time when
I think about, yes, we've had our challenges, but we
are the experience of democracy for the last two hundred
and fifty years has been working, but it's it's fragile.
(11:21):
If I look at cal Thomas's book, and when I
read one of his books when I was on my break,
he said that the average dynasty considers America a dynasty,
was two hundred and fifty years of strength. After that
two hundred and fifty years, they no longer were strong.
They still existed, but they no longer to cease to
exist with that same existence of strength. We are right
about it at two hundred and fifty fifty year mark.
(11:43):
If there anything that's going to turn, it's not going
to be. It's not going to be through the normal
ways that we think this is going to change. We
need the power of God. The power of God is
going to have to move. And I tell you right now,
in sixteen twenty sixteen seventy, where the people's faith in
God went down, God began to do something. He allowed situations,
He allowed scenarios, and is what does God do whenever
(12:05):
he wants to change the nation. What does God do
whenever he wants to bring in awakening? He raises up
a man. The man was Jonathan Edwards. God doesn't just
take pixie dust and sprinkle it on the nation and go,
you are look pixie dust. Ah, God raises a man
from the dust. He raises a man from the dust.
And when he raises a man from the dust, he
raised up the great Jonathan Edwards. Jonathan Edwards went to
(12:27):
Yale University, graduated in seventeen twenty three. When he went
to Yale, he was so incredibly smart, so bright that
this man, let me tell you, he began to preach.
But when he preached, he was a philosopher and the theologian,
and he was a little bit stuffy. And the churches
in America at that time were boring. But let me
tell you, when Jonathan he came against this thing called.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
The halfway Covenant. Have you heard of it?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I was surprised to hear that there was church memberships
called the halfway covenant. The halfway covenant, I'm glad you asked,
was when you could just sign that I don't really
want to be converted, but I want the benefits of
the church, because back in those days, the church was
the center of any village or any town, the center.
So I want I didn't want to be ostracized from
society because I don't want to be isolated because I
(13:11):
don't want to do what you guys do, but I
still want to be a part of it.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So they signed the halfway Covenant.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
The halfway covenant was like, I'm only half in and
I'm half out. I'm not hot, I'm not cold, I'm lukewarm.
I'm right in the middle. I'm straddling the fence. And
anytime you have a halfway covenant with God, and anyway
you have a halfway commitment to your faith in Jesus Christ,
you're gonna be halfway.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
You know I'm talking about God wants you all in,
not halfway.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Somebody's saying, man, so Jonathan Edwards, I'm speaking so fast
because I got so much information. But Jonathan Edwards was
such a philosopher and the theologian. But the brother was
extremely nearsighted. He was nearsighted, like like this kind nearsighted.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
He would read it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
He's like, poor guys didn't have glasses like like we
have today, don't have contacts like we have today.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
This Bible is my favorite Bible.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Rebound twice on the outside, cowhide leather by the way,
And you know what it is, so i'll tell you
right now. But it's in twelve font so I have
a hard time reading it. This is in fourteen. Some
of this is sixteenth fond Never mind it. It's none
of your business. But the brother was reading it. He
would read it. He could go like this, and he
was The worst thing was he was a monotone preacher.
(14:15):
So whenever he would preach, the power of God would
fall and he would preach, and he would just read.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
He was expressionless. He had his he was so close.
He was cross eyed. He was cross eyed.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Whenever he would read, and he would read, and he says,
and he wrote a sermon called Sinners in the Hands
of an Angry God. And when he did it was monotone,
no expression. But people fell down all over the pace.
People were crying and weeping. There was a powerful repentance,
and Jonathan Edwards began one of the greatest revivals, or
(14:46):
actually the great awakening.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Then you bring in a man named George Whitfield.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
George Whitfield came from Oxford, Oxford, England. Chop and he
came from Oxford, England, and he came with his his charisma, with.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
His influence on evangelists.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
And when he came he was an ordained minister at
the age of twenty two, and he started preaching in America.
He came here seven times, had eighteen thousand sermons that
he's preached, and they were all original. Apparently I'd like
to get my hands on that and all of these things.
And when he just preached, they said hundreds of thousands
of people came to Christ. Every time God saw that
(15:23):
there were people who cried out to him. There were
God used preachers, not just preachers. He used patriots. Not
just patriots. He would use he would use what do
you call those guys? Are the black hats and the
I already talked about them, the Pilgrims, and they were
the Puritans and all the letter p and all the
pious people.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
We need a revival, We need a revival.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
And the only way that I heard that revival starts
is if you draw a circle and you get in
the middle. And he said, Lord, start with me. First,
Start with me. First begin with me. Put a personal
revival in my heart. Set me off file. Because the
difference between a revival and awakening revivals happened in the church.
(16:14):
Revival is when people get bored. Revivals, when people get lukewarm, revivals,
when people not reading the Bible. We need revivals. Start
a personal revival. And where God does a revival with us,
maybe he's going to do it with other churches at
the same time. Come out, we need a revival. But
then after we need a revival, maybe God will do
an awakening.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Awakening is on a region, it is on a place.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
The last time that we saw one in America was
in the nineteen seventies during the Jesus People movement, where
hippies who were not judged came to church for the
very first time and Chuck Smith let them sit there
with their baggy jeans or no jeans. Some of them
had no snippers, they were barefoot, corduroys. They were like
they were stink. The women had hander their arms, you
know what I'm talking about. That's what it was in
the seventies. Make Love not war. All of that. You
(16:56):
might because some people admitting that in the third row
and you know what church, I love it. They came
to church and I'm telling you right now, and God
did a move and my pastor Ralph Moore came out
of that movement.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But it's been too long. It's been too long. When
we look at the.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Different revivals, you gotta think about the Businessman Revival in
eighteen fifty seven, and the dude's name was.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Jeremiah Landfair out of New York City.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Jeremiah Landfair was a lay pastor, but he was a
businessman and at twelve noon on a Wednesday, he would
hand out tracks. Everybody, come and meet me for prayer,
Come and meet me for prayer.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
For first one that he did.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
He was all along for thirty minutes and slowly five
people trickle in. By the next day they had the
next one, he had one hundred, and it began to
take off. It was a businessman's revival that spread into
Europe as well in England, and it was powerful. We're
not talking about a couple thousand, We're talking about tens
of thousand. One hundred thousand eventually would be affected. In
(17:51):
nineteen oh six, they're getting ahead of myself.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
He's Azusa. The Zusa Street Revival, and I wrote a
paper on that.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I can't find it because it's an old floppy disc.
But when I wrote, if you know what a floppy
disk is, then you owed. If you have no idea,
then you're all about that TikTok, right, And so in
nineteen oh six, in nineteen fifteen, William Seymour, William Seymour
(18:17):
was a man who just sought the power of God
in Los Angeles. He just wanted God to come down.
And you know what, people wouldn't give him a chance.
But man, people started showing up at that livery stable
that he was running. And when they came here, the
fire of God fell because they saw the earnestness of
people to repent for their sin and want personal revival.
That personal revival started to take off, where one of
(18:39):
the greatest revivals in the history of America, called the
Azusa Street Revival, gave birth to some of the movements.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That we have today.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That if I'm not mistaken, the Assemblies of God, if
I'm not mistaken the Church of God in Christ, if
I'm not mistaken, the Holiness movement.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
All of these different movements took off because of.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
This bowtie ratio, not black, not white, but and in
between powerful move of God where God used it all
across America. It affected the denomination that I came out
of four Square with a woman named Amy Semple McPherson
was one of the biggest preachers America had ever seen.
As a matter of fact, she was so popular that
in the nineteen twenties and thirties, the song Hooray for Hollywood,
(19:21):
her name is in that song. They say that actors
came from all over Charlie Chaplin was sneaking to her
services because she was already doing services that we would go, oh,
that's the show she was doing the show back then
for show revival revival. When I think about one of
(19:41):
the greatest revivals we're going to talk about in the
history of the world, it happened right here in Hawaii,
and that I will cover, I promise you next week
in Hawaii Kanakamau Ali touched Powerful and I'm gonna talk
about some other things when it goes along with that.
But when I look at the one of the greatest revivals,
you have to go all the way back to the Bible.
In you have to go to second chronicles, in first
(20:02):
and second chronicles. It's after first and second kings. When
you go to first and second chronicles. In second chronicles,
you're gonna read a story of a very young boy
who became king his great grandfather. His name was Hezekiah. Hezekia.
What a cool name, Hezekiah. And by the way, good worship.
Hezekia Walker. Just throwing that in. I don't know him personally,
but hey, Hezekiah, you see this, give me a shout out.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But anyway, Hezekia Walker, but Hezekiah.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Actually sorry, just so if you if you knew, I
joke around a lot and I throw stuff in, So
just just just be a be aware. Okay, it's like
it's like a it's like a quick punch. Anyway, just
just keep it a going. So when I think about Hezekiah,
Hezekile brought back worship, but he also brought back the
tides and worship. When he brings that back, watch this,
(20:46):
he brings it back. God blesses them abundantly. The abundance
of the blessing of God is so great that envoys
come from Babylon. They come all the way from Babylon
Nebu Kunez's men, and they come and he gives him
the royal treatment.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
He shows the palace, he shows him his house.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
He check out this pool, check out the temple, and
check out the treasury.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Look how great we have done. Look how blessed we
are as a nation.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
And Nebuknezer saw this, and his envoys went back and said,
we've got to take over Jerusalem.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
That was the very beginning.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
God was displeased with him, sends a prophet, What did
you just do?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
You just showed them your bank account, You showed them
your crypto. But anyway, moving right along. So now he
has a grandson.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
He has a son named Manassa, who is wicked, didn't
follow his father Hezekiah's ways. A grandson named Amon Amon dies,
and now what he has left, we have a young
boy whose name is Josiah.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Josiah is eight years old.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
When he takes the throne, God is going to use
him and his priest Hilkiah. Hilkiah is the overseer of
this young man as the age of eight until he
comes of age, in order to lead the country and
the nation with guidance by himself. The Bible tells us
that he followed the ways of the Lord. He loved
the Lord with all of his heart. And then it
says in verse three that during the eighth year, Now
(22:02):
this is about the greatest revival I can find in
Israel's history.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
During the eighth year of his reign, while he was still.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Young, sixteen years old, Josiah began to seek the God
of his ancestor David. Sixteen years old, sixteen sixteen, sixteen,
fourteen thirteen.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Anybody, God can use you. You don't have to wait till
you get to college. Did God use you now? Did
God use you?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Seek the God of your mother and father? Seek God.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Then it says in the twelfth year, at the age twenty,
he began to purify Judah.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
How did he purify Judah?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Well, you have to purify Judah by in Jerusalem destroying
all the pagan shrines and the astrarah polls, and the
carved idols and the cast images. What was that doing
in Jerusalem? Exactly right? These are detestable items. This is
like sex cults that was going on. And these things
were happening in the city of Jerusalem and outside of
(23:02):
the Temple, and I'm sure in the temple as well.
You know, God's very special presence was isn't in the temple.
God's presence was in the temple. God would pick out
of the entire universe, one people, one nation, and one
city to allow himself to be contained there. Incredible. Then
it goes on and say sorry. Then it goes on
(23:23):
to say that he ordered the altars of bail be
demolished in verse four, and that the incense altars which
stood above them be broken down. He also made sure
that the astropos, the carved idols, and the cast images
were smashed and scattered over the graves of those who
had sacrificed to them. And he burned the bones of
the pagan priests on their own altars. And so he
(23:43):
purified Judah and Jerusalem.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He did it all. He went all the way, all
the way. Listen to this. Look, if you.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Want a personal revival, it doesn't just start with setting
in a circle. It means number one, you got to
seek God in clean house. You got to seek God
in clean house. You got to seek the Lord and
clean house, not just your home, but clean things up
that are going on in your life. What is what
is in your environment that is causing you to go
back to sin? What is in your heart? That keeps
getting you to the bad places again. What are you
(24:10):
still watching? What are you still participating in? What are
those things in your life that you know that if
you don't stop, you can't have a clean house. And
God wants you to clean house. Every time you clean it,
guess what the enemy tries to get back in. So
it's constant cleaning of the house, not sweeping it under
the rug, that gets your heart clean. You gotta seek
God and clean house in the name of Jesus. Somebody say, hey, man.
(24:33):
Then it goes on to say in verse eight that
in the eighteenth year, at age twenty six, of his
brain watched this. After he purified the land of the temple,
Josiah appointed Schaffhan Messiah Joah. Siah Massa says, Sema says same.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
God, someone you know, let's know.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Usa Sah, there you go, very good? All right, okay, okay,
all right, all right. I just couldn't help. So you're like, okay,
we'll explain later on. Kelly boy Denima, that's my brother.
So anyway, moving right along, miss Let's go back Chaffan
Isaiah Joah and the Royal historian to repair the temple
(25:13):
of the Lord his God. Then number two, it says
point number two. That's so smooth. But here it is
open the word and open your heart. Open the word
and open your heart. Because why why am I saying that?
Because look at verse fourteen. So Hilkiah the priest check
this out. Found the Book of the Law the Lord
had already written by Moses. That's the Book of Deuteronomy.
(25:34):
I read that last week, part of it, the Book
of Deuteronomy. He finds the Book of Deuteronomy written by Moses,
and Hilkiah the priest said to Chaffan, the court secretary,
I have found the Book of the Law in the
temple of the Lord. My question is, how did.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You lose it in the temple?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
You lost the the scroll of Deudoronomy in the temple.
There's not a lot of those. I don't know if
there's only one. I think there's only one in Israel
at that time. And your guys lost it.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
You lost it? Is that a trick to you? It
is right?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Can I tell you something. People leave bibles in this
building all the time. All the time we got we
were looking. We're looking at the front page. We're looking
to see if they got in any engraving, and it's
not the same thing. Though the Word of God was
not being preached in the house of the Lord, then
I never may may I never be guilty of that
(26:40):
that the word of God wasn't preached. They couldn't find
the Word of God because someone had lost it. It
was not a priority. And if you want personal revival
in your life, the priority, I promise you, is not
to be self righteous.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It is to be fed by.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
The Word of God. And when this feeds you, I
promise you. There are times I don't want to read.
I'm gonna can I be honest? There are times I
don't want to read. There are times that I don't
want to read. I wake up in the morning, I
want coffee and I want to and I kind of
my habit my FAMILYE like on Instagram. And I promise
you there are times that I'm like, I want to
read the paper.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
The paper's rubbish.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I want.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I want to do it myself. Don't want to read.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Can I confess to you that there are times I
don't want to read the Bible?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Right?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Oh my gosh, honey, he doesn't want to read the
Bible sometimes, I know. I promise you, there are times
like I still want to do my devotions today, but.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I'm the pastor and I have to. I have to,
but I don't just have to. I get to, and
then when I get to, I actually feel like I
want to. And it's like that workout that you don't
want to do, but it's not really the same. I
don't want to work out, and when you get done,
you feel so good about yourself because you actually worked out.
(27:58):
So when you actually read your Bible, you actually feel better.
Then it becomes like I want to. I want to
every morning. I want to be in his presence, and
then you meet him. That's when you build momentum. Once
you stop, you gotta build it back up. And man,
I tell you right now, when you find the Word
of God as your priority again, you never know what's
gonna happen. But look at what happened, it says then Josiah.
When the king heard what was written in the law,
(28:19):
he tore his clothes in despair. That's how he did it.
Back then, I've I don't know whatever. He just tore it,
tor it sack cloth and ashes tears it. And Hilkiah
the priest found the book of the Law and When
the king heard it, he tore his clothes in despair.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Then he gave these orders.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Everyby say orders orders, he's ordering Helkaia, Akbar, Chaffan and
Asiah to go to the temple and speak to the
Lord for me for all of the remnants of Israel
and Judah. Inquire about the words, Honolulu Mililani. I didn't
say anything to you. I didn't ignore you. Just we're
just having fun in here. Listen to this about the
words written in the scroll that has been found. For
the Lord's great anger has been poured out on us.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Watch this.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
The Lord's great anger is being poured out on us
because our ancestors have not obeyed the word of the Lord.
We have not been doing everything the Scross says that
we must do. How's this? They find the word of
the Lord, and he begins to read the word of
the Lord, and he is mind blowing because now he's
reading about the blessings and the curses part. He goes,
(29:22):
we must be on the curse's part. We had the blessings,
now we're on the curses. Go seek the Lord for us,
go find out. Oh my gosh, and I wonder just
throwing it out there is the Lord's hand been removed?
Or are we in a judgment season because of the past,
(29:45):
not the year, not the year before that, but all
of it. The past. This is why we need revival.
This is why we can't. We gotta continue on over here,
We gotta continue on. We need a longer board. We
have put two boards together, two boards together. Did it
happen right here in Hawaii in two thousand and one?
(30:06):
Did it happen right here that a revival came because
people had personal revival and an awakening took place?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
He said?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
He, Oh God, and then look at what the Lord says.
The God of Isoi goes back, says, tell this to
your king.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
He says, verse twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You were sorry and humbled before you before your god, Frank,
you can come up, police. And when you heard his
words against this city and its people. See, look, you
humbled yourself. You humbled yourself, and you tore your clothing
in despair and wept before me in presence.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
And I and I have indeed heard you, says the Lord.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I haven't indeed, I have indeed heard you. I've heard you,
I've heard your country.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I've heard you, guys, I've heard you, So I will
not send the promised disaster until after you have died
and been buried in peace. You yourself would not see the
disaster I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Bring on the city and all of its people. And
then zero point three.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I could have word smith this better, but I apologize,
but this is this is my last service here. It
is proclaim his truths and renew your commitment. Proclaim His truths,
renew your commitment. So he brings all the elders together.
How would they do?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
That?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Brings all the elders, all the elders from Israel, from Jerusalem,
wherever you could gather them from in Judah.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
You know it's a divided nation, right, remember Judah to
the south.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Israel kept the name there on the north, but we
retain Jerusalem. Brings all the elders together, and there the
king reads the entire book of the Law, the Book
of Deuteronomy that he found in the Lord's temple. And
he required everyone in Jerusalem and the people of Benjamin
to make a similar pledge.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And they do.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
But look at the very last verse. I'm gonna hurry
some skipping over some stuff. And throughout the rest of
his lifetime, they did not Honolulu. They did not, meaning
they did not turn away from the Lord, God of
their ancestors.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
They did not turn away. They did not turn away
while he was still alive.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
And then he celebrates number four, God's goodness and he
serves as people, so he takes up a he brings
so much food to the table.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
He really does.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
But then it says in verse one that Josiah announced
that the Passover the Lord would be celebrated in Jerusalem.
Passover is gonna be celebrated in Jerusalem. They were not
celebrating the Passover. You lost the word of God in
the house of the Lord, and you are not celebrating Passover.
(32:33):
Since Hezekiah glad Josiah became king because God didn't just
put pixie dust on Jerusalem.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
He raised a man from the dust.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
And when he raised this man from the dust, this
man took on his personal mission to say, I'm going
to affect everything that I can do. And you might
be thinking to yourself, maybe you might be thinking, what
do I do? What is my role? How can I
bring change? You can This whole personal revival is about
a mission to reach more people for Jesus.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
That's why we do what we do.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
This is not a shelter from the storm. Come on,
don't get this wrong. This is this is where we
This is the mighty fortresses our God. Yes, but this
is the place where we get equipped. And this is
the place where we go out. This is the place
where we we invade. This is the place where we love.
This is the place where we where we do what
we need to do. A God puts on you, and
you according to your scripture, in order to make change
(33:25):
in Hawaii and in this state, and no matter where
you are in the world today, I'm telling you right
now that you need a passover. What's the passover? A
passover celebration. One let me tell you, everybody, look at one.
He's so handsome back there, and one one back then.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
In the Book of Exodus, after four hundred years of
captivity in Egypt, being treated as slaves, God sends a
deliverer raised up from the dust, food out of the water.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
His name is Moses, and Moses becomes a prince of Egypt.
But then he goes to the backside of the desert
because he tries to take justice in his own hand
and administers it in the wrong way. Even the son
of a king. Can't just do what he just did.
So he runs away all the way to the Sinai Peninsula.
He's in the backside of the desert. I don't know
what the front side is, but he's on the backside.
And on the backside of the desert, God burning bush.
(34:15):
God speaks to him, Let my people go. He goes
all the way back. You've got ten plagues on the
final one, God says to him.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Tell the people to get.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
A lamb, spotless, beautiful, unblemished lamb. Not the one that's
got what three legs, the ones to get all four,
Not the one that's missing an ear. No, no, no,
that's not good enough. The one that's got everything, Not
the one that's blemished. And he says, I want you
to take the blood and grab a hiss up branch,
and I want you to take it with the bowl.
And I want you to make sure that every family
(34:45):
member takes the blood and puts it over the door
post of their home, so that when the Angel of
Death that I'm sending to take out the firstborn of
every human and animal in Egypt, that there will be
wailing like never before in all of eachy, so that
they'll finally let my people go into the desert and
worship me and follow me, he says, tell them to
(35:05):
do it, and they do it.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
And then that night the Israelites pack up. They eat
it in haste. They eat it with bitter herbs.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
They eat it and they stand and they don't sit,
and they eat it with unleavened bread because they didn't
have time for that thing to yeast up.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
So they eat it and they're remembering this.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
And God said, from now on, every year you will
celebrate Passover. And when you celebrate Passover, you will remember
your journey from captivity and slavery into freedom. And don't
ever forget the power and the liberty and the freedom
that the blood has bought for you. And don't ever
(35:44):
forget of the blood that was shed for the liberty
and the freedom of you, and what we had in
this country. And in Jesus name, somebody say amen, Amen.
So two big things that they made. They had a
halfway covenant, not all the way. And you can't go halfway.
(36:10):
There's not scales half on this side, half on that side.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
That's not getting you into heaven.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
You cannot go halfway in a world like this You
cannot be lukewarm in the world like this because you
don't know when Christ is coming back. And you know
they've been saying that for two thousand years. Two thousand years.
You don't know when Jesus is coming back. But guess
what that might have been years now. It feels like seconds.
It feels like we are seconds away. Get right, not
(36:39):
one time, but all the time. Have a personal revival.
Don't go halfway. Don't lose the word of the Lord
that you God has already given to you. They lost it.
Don't forsake the blood. Plead the blood. Come on, everybody,
Ask for the blood for the healing. Ask the blood
for salvation. Look the lamb of God that takes away
the sin of the world. That's who he is. In
the name of Jesus, Come up, pray Father, we just
(37:00):
come before you today.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
In Jesus name and Lord, I pray right now, then
you would come in power. Then you would come quickly
and swiftly. In Jesus name and Father.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I pray that as you begin to stir up in
our hearts, Father, everything that's going on in this world
and in this state, Father, that you let us be.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Why is the serpents and innocent as doves.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Be gentle as those doves, Lord, but wise at the
same time, the Father, we continue to lift up the state,
We lift up the nation, officials who are leading, and Father,
we pray that if you could do something with Nebukenezer,
you can do something here too. So Lord, we honor them,
we thank them, but we love you. We honor you
in the name of Jesus. And everybody said, ay man, Hey, everybody,
