Deep bible study, and continuation of the Thursday show. You need to hear this.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Greetings everyone. This is Mike Phillip and it is an
extreme pleasure to rebroadcast Mike Bloom at Breath of Life
Christian Teaching Centers lesson from last night. This is a
banger and a blaster. This is a very deep, deep

(00:24):
study on the subject of tithing. Okay, and I heavily
suggest that if you have time this weekend, that you
listen to the Thursday American UC Radio broadcast on tithing
twice and this study from brother Mike Bloom twice. I

(00:49):
am going to listen to Mike Bloom studied three times.
I'm going to try to anyway if I have the time.
Without further ado, my friend, my brother, and one of
the most anointed Bible teaching men I have ever seen
in my life, mister Mike Bloom, I just have to

(01:13):
grab that here and here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:17):

Speaker 5 (01:44):
Then change y'all.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
My story long.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
In pay and revelation.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
Welcome tonight, God bless everybody. I pray that God has
great things in store for you. And I both tonight,
and that we have some truth that affects us and
changes the way we actually behave in this world and
causes us and inspires us to do something in this
world that's going to take us through eternity. I remember

(03:11):
a song I had on an album, a vinyl album,
years and years ago, back in the late seventies, and
it was a song entitled only One Life, and the
lyric said, only one life, so soon it will pass.
Only what's done for Christ will last only one chance
to do his will. So give to Jesus all your days.

(03:33):
It's the only life that pays when you recall you
have but one life. You know. The only thing we're
going to take with us on the to eternity, it's
going to be the things we've accomplished in the Kingdom
of God for God, all of the blessings that are

(03:54):
natural from our you know, existence in our careers in
the world, and secular issue is they're very important to
us and we need that in this world to continue.
But what we've accomplished in the secular it's not going
to affect eternity. It's not going with us. We're not
taking any rewards of that into glory for eternity. The

(04:14):
only thing that you can take into eternity is the
treasures and rewards for what you've done for God. What
you couldn't do in your own flesh that had to
be done in the power of God's spirit, and those accomplishments.
That's all that's going to go on into eternity. You know,
there's something I want to show you tonight, and it

(04:37):
was a parable I was looking at in the Bible
when I was doing some studying this week, and it's
in Mark chapter four. In Mark four, he talked about
the parable of the sower and the seed. You see
that begin in verse three, and he goes on through
to verse eight, and then he says he that hath
ears to hear, let him hear. And so the disciples

(04:59):
didn't even know what he was talking about. So they
asked them of the parable, and he told them that
to those disciples and people like them, God wants them
to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God. But
people that are outside, they're not there. They're not listening
in such a way as to take it seriously and
to really affect their souls forever. They're looking at as

(05:23):
an interesting thing. This is the latest prophet. Let's just
find out what he's saying. And so he said, they
are just listening to stories. But just for the fact
that you folks came to me and asked me about
these parables, people like you that really want to learn
what I'm talking about. You let this sink in and

(05:46):
you want to understand it. He said, it's for you
to know the Kingdom of God. But people that are
half hearted about it, these are just interesting little stories,
and they just walk away. It makes no sense to them.
They're seeing, they're not perceiving anything. They're listening to my words,
but they're not understanding. And if they would, they'd be converted,
their sins would be forgiven. So he explains to them

(06:08):
the parable. But then there was a parable that was
really interesting, he said, and I don't think it's exactly
what a lot of people have come to think it is.
Remember the parable of the mustard seed. Take heed what
you hear with what measure you meet, it shall be

(06:29):
measured to you. In other words, when you put forth
a lot of effort, when you meet out a lot
of your effort, and you're taking heed to what you're hearing,
you're really being diligent, you're listening very carefully, you're putting
an effort to really understand it. It's going to be
measured to you. You want to know you're going to
be filled. It's like Jesus said, if you hunger and

(06:51):
thirst after righteousness, you shall be filled. If you just
don't care about righteousness, if you just don't care about truth,
you're not going to get. But if you hunger for it,
if you crave it, then you'll be filled with it.
So whatever measure you meet, whatever effort you put forth
to learn the word of God, that's what's going to

(07:11):
come back to you. And so with that in mind,
he mentioned about a grain of mustard seed. Now, I
know we all think of a grain of mustard seed
parable as just a little amount of faith can grow
into a big, huge thing. I don't think that's really
what he's talking about at all. Look at this very carefully.

(07:33):
He said, where unto shall we liken the Kingdom of God?
Or with what comparison shall we compare it? It's like
a grain of mustard seed. Now think of this. These
people that were listening to Jesus weren't putting very much effort.
They weren't taking heed how they were hearing. They were
just casually hearing, Oh that's a nice story, see you later.
But the disciples weren't like that. They were really intent

(07:55):
on getting something. They were really listening. We want to
understand and he is speaking to us words of eternal life.
I've got to understand it. We've got to understand it.
And in these people and what they're looking at concerning
what Jesus preached at what he preached about. Rather the

(08:16):
world considers it so insignificant, he said, the Kingdom of God,
it's it's like a mustard seed, and it's sewn into
the earth. This message is preached, it goes into people's hearts,
and it's less than all of the seeds that are
in the earth. The world looks like the things that

(08:36):
you and I are studying and talking about right now
as the least significant thing you could ever get into.
It's who cares, you know? I want to I've seen people.
I was in a bookstore the other day and I
saw a young man in the business section reading books
of how to be a successful businessman. That guy was

(08:57):
looking and you could tell he was diligent about about
making money that's going to be gone. You know, lay
up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and rust
doth not corrupt, But down here moth and rust, it's
all going to be gone one day, when you're gone
on into eternity to be with the Lord. That stuff
is gone. It will mean nothing in eternity. And this

(09:20):
man was putting so much diligence into it. But there
happened to be a spiritual Christian section. And a lot
of the Christian books out there are fluff, there's nothing
to them. But there are some good ones there as well.
And what would he think of something like that? That's
like the mustard seed. It's least of all everything I
can learn about. If I'm going to get a seed

(09:40):
and it's going to go into my heart. Like he
talked about the parable the sore and seed, it's not
going to be the word of God that you people
call the worder. That is the least significant to me,
he said. It's less than all the seeds that be
in the earth. But when it is sown, it grows up,
and when it grows up, it becomes greater than all
the herbs. It shooteth out great branches so that the

(10:04):
fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
You want to know what I believe that's talking about.
That this thing that everybody considers to be nothing is
so vitally important because it's the only thing that's going
to take you on into eternity. And it's filled in
that little matrix of that tiny little mustard seed. It

(10:26):
will take you on into eternity, and eternity compared to
what anything else you're gonna benefit from in this world.
That's gonna be gone, and moth and rust are gonna
corrupt and eat it, and it's going to decay a way.
It's like the huge, largest of all trees. It puts
out great branches, it extends on into eternity. He said,

(10:48):
people are gonna lodge under the shadow of it forever. Hallelujah.
Well everything else, Oh, look at this big wall that
compared to that little tiny mustard seed. This is the
business I want to learn about. These are the books
I want to read. Or look at this, you know,
the almen, and then compare all these. But the mustard
is the tiniest of Oh, but that's about the Kingdom
of God. You see It's not small because it's genuinely insignificant.

(11:13):
It's small because that's how the world looks at it.
Of all the seeds in the world, of all the truths,
of all the information you could receive to get planted
in you. And people are planting a lot of things
into their hearts today, and the last thing they're going
to plant is the Kingdom of God. I mean, think
about it. You know. Watchman Mee was a deep, deep

(11:34):
Christian student and he was in a college in university,
and he was really making something of himself. He's planning
to one day and then he got a call of
God and he got into the things of God and
he started looking at that little mustard seed and started
valuing it. The thing that people look at is insignificant
of everything compared to what he was learning in university.

(11:57):
And he met his teacher walking down the street one day,
and the teacher just looked at him with disdain and
contempt and pity. You are wasting your life. But you
know something, spiritually speaking, his books have gone around the world.
In the sixties, they started getting around the world. Christians

(12:17):
started realizing what revelations this guy had. But more than that,
he was getting to the Word of God and that, folks,
is going to affect our eternities. There's nothing you could
study in the world that's going to affect your eternity
unless it's affecting you in the negative way, and you'll
be lost and go to Hell more than you were
like twofold, more a child of Hell to begin with.
But only this is going to take you on. And

(12:39):
so that's what we're getting into here tonight. And specifically speaking,
we're going to continue what we've been studying. And by
the way, welcome breath of life Christian teaching. Gonna welcome
American NEC Radio and all the folks simulcasting with us,
and let's get into this tonight. The True Promised Land

(13:26):
Pastor Mike Phillips here America NEC Radio. He said he
was thinking about this today, being able to hear the
language of the spirit. Oh, I want to hear him
so clearly. Hallelu Bart Claven, Well, thank you so much
for your offering. We so appreciate that. And notice what
I gave in the graphic. It showed the Jordan River

(13:48):
opening up with the ark of the Covenant. And notice
in the background it showed the veil of the temple
that was ripping open, just like the Jordan River was
open up for then to get into the Promised Land.
When Jesus died, the veil opened up and opened the
holiest of holies to us. There's a deep message there

(14:10):
and I want to get to it. But we left
off talking about in our last couple weeks how that
Melchizedek and his priesthood are so significant. Remember we talked
about Matthew six and eighteen, that Jesus is a high
priest that is a forehunner to get us into the
holiest of holies. Whereas the Old Testament high priests they

(14:33):
couldn't follow him. He wasn't a forehunner to bring them
into the holiest of holies. But Jesus is because they
were under the order of Levi. We're under the order
of Melchizedec. And I just want to give you some
scripture so that you know where we're coming from about Melchizedec,
because it all goes back to Genesis. And in Genesis
chapter fourteen, when Abraham fought a battle and he rescued

(14:57):
his son Lot, who is of the Kingdom of saw.
Remember Lot went to gold dwell in Sodom, and all
these kings came and captured everybody in Sodom, captured everybody
in all these other kingdoms, and then God used Abraham
and God recovered them. Hallelujah. Abraham heard his brother was
taking captive the armed his trained servants, born in his

(15:18):
own house only three hundred and eighteen, and pursued all
of these armies that came down and captured the people
of Sodom, including his nephew Lot, and he brought back
all the goods, also brought his brother Lot back his goods,
the women also, and the people and the king of

(15:39):
Sodom went out to meet him, and Mike Philip and
I were talking about this just lately, about how there's
just some people you don't take what they want to
give you because there's something wrong with the intention of
their giving. But when he came out, somebody else came out.
He was the King of Sodom. And we know what
happened to Sodom later on place Sodom was, But there's

(16:03):
another king, Melchizedek, king of Salem. Now notice it's King
of Salem. This is Jerusalem. It later was called Jerusalem,
and Melchizedek was king, and he brought something. He brought
bread and wine, and he was the priest of the

(16:23):
Most High God. So here we've got a Melchizedek who's
a king, but he's not just a king. He was
also a priest of the Most High God, king and priest.
You know, God wouldn't allow the average king to be
a priest as well as a king. Remember in Isaiah

(16:43):
chapter six, in the year that King Usiah died, I
saw the Lord, Well, he said, I saw the Lord
sitting on a throne. And he's talking about the year
that another man, a king who is human, was on
a throne and he died. But he said, I saw
the Lord sitting on a throne when this man died,
and he had been sitting on a throne. And if

(17:05):
you want to wonder what the significance of Usiah was,
why does it mention in the year that King Usiah died,
I saw the Lord. And let me just bring that
up on the screen while I'm talking, so you know
what I'm talking about. You see Usiah, it says earlier
on in the book of Isaiah, way back. Actually he
wanted to be a priest as well as a king.

(17:27):
He got lifted up in pride. He was such an
renowned king. It talks about him building engines of war.
I mean, he was a military genius and he built
bulwarks and he just blessed the Kingdom of God so
much with his kingship and all his wisdom. But then
he also wanted to be a priest. And then Isaiah said,

(17:48):
you can't do this. And then the priest said, don't
do this. This is not your calling. And he said,
I'm going to do it. And he took a censor
and he started offering incense before God in the temple,
and God smote him with leprosy. And he not only
wasn't going to be a priest, but he lost his
kingship and had to live like an unclean leper in

(18:12):
a leper colony after sitting on the throne. And it
was such an impact, probably to Isaiah that it hurt
him so much. It's like, you know, if this guy
who is so great that I admired with everything in
me fails, my who can I look to? I mean,
he must have idolized him to an extent. And it

(18:32):
wasn't till that king died that Isaiah said, I saw
the Lord. I had to get my eyes off of him,
and I had to get my eyes on the Lord.
And I saw the Lord. He was on the throne,
and he was a king that never is going to fail. Hallelujah.
So this gives an example that you couldn't be a

(18:54):
king and a priest. Now, David, he acted as a
king and a priest. See David, he kind of reached
into the New Covenant in so many ways because remember
he committed murder and he committed adultery, for which he
murdered somebody to cover that up. And those two things

(19:16):
required death. I mean, if you were an adulter, you
were killed. And if you were murder, eye for an eye,
tooth for tooth, you're going to be killed. But God
had mercy and forgave him. Now he didn't take away
the sword from his house. He had problems with his
children in his house all his life because that was

(19:37):
going to be the price he paid. But at least
he didn't die. So he kind of crept in and
reached over into the New Covenant. So he was something different.
He was a man after God's own heart, And the
only other one in the Old Testament was this Melchizedec.
He was both a king and a priest, and going
back again to Genesis, notice he had bread and wine,

(20:01):
and he was priest to the Most High God. The
bread and the wine are used by Jesus to represent
the death of the Cross, his body being broken like
bread broken so you could eat it, his blood being
poured out like wine poured out so you could take
it into you. And his death and his barrel and
his resurrection are taken into us spiritually speaking, and we

(20:24):
partake and remind ourselves that death of his was my death.
When his body broke and his blood was shed, I'm
putting those things in me to symbolize that that was me.
His experience was put into me so I could say
that I died, and I died with Jesus Christ. And
he was a priest that was inside the Promised Land.

(20:47):
He was so inside the Promised Land that he was
the king of Salem Jerusalem, where they would later have
the headquarters of God's Kingdom with the temple there later
on when David would come along. But this was way
back in Abraham's time, and so here he is bringing things.
And by the way, in the new Jerusalem in Revelation

(21:11):
chapter twenty one. Look at this this, think of Jerusalem.
Think this is where Melchizedek was king. It talks about
the city lies four square, the New Jerusalem. You see,
this city came out of God, from heaven, from God

(21:31):
rather out of heaven, and it's prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband. And by the way, when you
go to verse nine, come here, I'll show you the bride,
the Lamb's wife, and he showed me a city. So
the bride is the Church according to Ephesians chapter five.
You know, don't come to me with all these ideas
of this being the bride and that being bride if
you're not coming with the truth that it's the church.

(21:53):
Because Jesus is the bride. The Church is the bride groom.
Jesus is the bridegroom, rather the Church, which is the bride.
And a woman prays honor to her husband as their
head as much as the Church has Jesus Christ as
its head. So the Church is the bride, and the

(22:14):
New Jerusalem represents the Church. And that church it said,
had walls. Now all these are symbols right back in
Revelation chapter one, verse one. These truths were signified by
the Angel of the Lord. To John, now, signified means
it's symbolic. And so what you're reading about this cube

(22:36):
shaped city coming out of the sky, and I'm going
to show you why it's a cube, because it says
that it's four square. And what that means is the
length is as large as the breath. It's as long
as it is wide or broad, and the length and
the breath and also the height are all equal. It's

(22:58):
as long as it is broad as it is high.
And it says that the length was twelve thousand furlongs.
So if you've got twelve thousand furlongs long, twelve thousand
furlongs broad or wide, and twelve thousand furlongs high, you

(23:19):
have got yourself a cube. It's four square, Amen. And
the only other thing in the entire Bible that was
a cube was the holiest of holies in the Temple. Amen.
It was twenty cubits by twenty cubits by twenty cubits.

(23:45):
And I want to show you that in the scripture,
if I can bring it out. We go to First Kings,
chapter six, and let me see Solomon builds a house
for God. Now, this temple itself. The house was thirty

(24:08):
cubits by twenty cubits, and so forth and so on.
So you've got measurements of the temple in cubits. And
the holiest of holies was what was called the oracle
in chapter six, verse twenty, and the fore part. In

(24:28):
other words, the front of it was twenty cubits in length,
twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. Notice
the length, the breadth, and the height are all given
measurements that are identical, just like the New Jerusalem's length
and breadth and height was twelve thousand furlongs each. Well,
these are twenty cubits each. So this is the holiest

(24:50):
of holies, where the arc of the Covenant was put in,
and so the New Jerusalem represents the holiest of whole.
So here you've got Melchizedek, who's a priest of Jerusalem,
and that city, Jerusalem is a shadow of the New Jerusalem.

(25:11):
You've got a Jerusalem on earth, and that's where Melchizedic was,
and you've got a new Jerusalem from heaven. And Jesus
is a priest after the order of Melchizedek and his
throne called the Throne of God, and the Lamb are
in the New Jerusalem. Amen. And it comes down out

(25:32):
of heaven. Hallelujah. You know what that is. It's the Bride,
It's the Church. This Church didn't come into existence from
below and come out of the earth. It is from glory.
It came spiritually speaking out of heaven. This is not
talking about a cube shaped city that's physically going to

(25:53):
be a cube that's physically going to come out of
the physical sky one day. This is all signifying according
to Revelation verse one, and the Church is not of
this world. It's of God. It's of Heaven. And then
Paul even talked about Jerusalem, which is above, which is
the mother of us all. In Galatians chapter four. He

(26:17):
said there's two covenants that are represented, with one from
Mount Sinai, which was represented by Hagar. Going back again
to Abraham's day, Sarah's servant Hagar. Hagar represents the Covenant

(26:37):
from Mount Sinai. The old Covenant. Hagar is Mount Sinai
in Arabia, and it is answering to Jerusalem, which now
is the Jerusalem that was in existence when Paul wrote
the Epistle to the Galatians was a physical one that
still existed, but in AD seventy it no longer existed.

(26:59):
God it down using the Roman armies. But he says,
notice that, he says it's here now. In other words,
it's not going to be around forever. And the people
of Jerusalem are the children. The city itself represents Hagar,
or the Hagar, the bond woman that Abraham had Ishmael through,

(27:24):
is associated with Jerusalem. It answers, it corresponds, or it's
associated in this parable with Jerusalem, and it's in bondage
with her children. Hagar's child was Ishmael, and it was
a bondchild, and his mother was a bond woman. But
there's another Jerusalem. It's from above, just like new Jerusalem
comes out of the sky in heaven down to the earth.

(27:47):
And this Jerusalem which is above, it's not the one
which now is in Paul's day, the physical city on
the earth. This one above is not in bondage. She
is free, hallelujah. And as much as haig are symbolized
Jerusalem on earth, Sarah represents the Jerusalem which is above.
And she's our mother. And we're not bond children, we're

(28:11):
not Ishmael, hallelujah. We are children of God. We are
children of the free woman. It's written, rejoice thou that
are barren, that bearest, not break forth and cry you
who travail is not because the desolate. That's why Sarah
couldn't have a baby, because she was barren. So he
had to take Hagar to have a child, but they
ended up having Ishmael, a bond child that eventually had

(28:35):
to go. But he says, Jerusalem above it looked like
in the church there were so many Israelites that were
serving the Old Covenant, and we're serving under those restrictions,
and a new Covenant had come, and all the people
under the New Covenant were like the New Jerusalem. There's
hardly anybody compared to it. But he said, though we're

(28:56):
so few, we are the real children. And one day, hallelujah,
Abraham was gonna be the father of nations around the world,
Praise God. And Romans Force said that Abraham was made
an heir to the world in Romans four, verse thirteen,
heir of the world, because if he's gonna be the
father of many nations, all nations are around the world,

(29:19):
So you've got to have the whole world to be
the father of many nations. And there are people from
every nation right now that are in the Kingdom of God. Hallelujah.
And it's far outgrown Ishmael by a long shot. Amen,
and rejoice. Now that's Ben you're gonna bear. You're gonna
have more. She said, You're gonna have many more children

(29:40):
than she which has an husband. Now, we brethren are
like Isaac was. We are the children of Promise. But
then is he that was born after the flesh? Ishmael
persecuted him, that was born after the spirit Isaac? Even
so it is now the Jews were persecuting the Church
back then. Nevertheless, what does the scripture say? And he
was actually giving hope to the Christians. He was saying,

(30:01):
cast out the bondwoman and her son, because the son
of the bond woman shall not be heir with the
son of the free woman. And destruction was gonna come
on Jerusalem in just a few short years after this
was written, as the bondwoman and her son were going
to be cast out, And once Hagar and Ishmael were gone,
Isaac could flourish, and the New Testament Church flourished across

(30:25):
the world. Hallelujah. So we're not of the bond woman,
We're of the free. Praise God. Now this is where
Melchizedek was a king in the earthly Jerusalem. Now the
levitical priesthood, it was formed outside in the wilderness before
they got into the land of Canaan. But Melchizedek was

(30:49):
in the land of Canaan. Furthermore, he was in Jerusalem.
And God says, while they were in the wilderness, I
am going to take you to the Promised Land. I'm
going to find myself a city where I can put
my name there. And the Bible says the temple was
called by the name of God. So when he said
I'm going to have that city to put my name there,

(31:09):
I'm gonna put my temple there. And inside of that
temple was the Ark of the Covenant, the presence of
God himself, the ark that went through the Jordan, as
I showed you in my thumbnail, and opened it up
like a veil opening up. And so if the Ark
was going through the Jordan, opening and splitting open so
that they could get into the Promised Land where God

(31:31):
wanted them, well, that's like the holiest of holies, whose
veil ripped open the moment Jesus died so we could
get into the holiest of holies. The Promised Land and
the Holiest of Holies both represent the Kingdom of God.

(31:52):
Like Isaiah said, when this earthly man died, this earthly
king Overdrusalm died, I saw the Lord Jesus Christ. He
saw the future when he saw the Lord in Isaiah
six and one. God actually called me to the ministry
by this chapter. And little did I know back then,
when I was like seventeen years old, that these very

(32:14):
same scriptures would open up to me like forty years
later and getting into such depth. Hallelujah, and like we're
teaching here tonight. Amen. It was Isaiah six that God
opened me up to and here we've got all of
this happening. And God wanted to bring them into the
Promised Land like he wants us to go out of

(32:34):
the old Covenant with Israel in the pre Christ days
into the New Covenant since Jesus Christ came, and bring
us all into the holiest of holies, which again represents
the Garden of Eden. So the Melchizedic priesthood was formed
inside the Promised Land like it's in the holiest of holies.

(32:55):
And remember the Jordan ripping open was like the veil
ripping open so he can get into the holiest of holies.
And they were literally carrying the Arc through the Jordan
to get into that promised Land, as that veil ripped open,
As if the Jordan was a veil ripping open to
get them into the holiest of holies. The Ark was

(33:16):
going into the holiest of holies in the form of
the Promised Land. And remember in the Old Covenant, the
high Priest wasn't a forerunner to bring them into the
holiest like Jesus was in Hebrews six and eighteen. Jesus
is a forerunner to bring us into the holiest of holies,

(33:38):
which hope we have as an anchor of the soul
and an anchor shore, and an anchor is steadfast, and
it enters into that within the veil. Only the high
priest could go in there. But our priest, high priest Jesus,
he's after the order of Melchizedek, not after the order

(33:58):
of Levi. And he he's a forerunner for us. And
if he enters in or runs in walks into the
holiest within the veil, and he's a forerunner, then we're
following him into the holiest of holies, because the Old
Testament levitical priesthood was not a forerunner to bring you

(34:23):
into the veil, holiest, rather past the veil where the
order of Melchizedek is amen. And so that picture, and
you know, I need to share this with you. And
I think I might have explained this perhaps before, But
about ten years ago I had a dream. And in

(34:45):
that dream, Israel was standing at the border of the
Promised Land. Remember when they saw the giants, and remember
they saw the walls. And this I was preaching in
the dream. And to this day it's still opening up
to me. And it's not just a dream that, oh
well he had pizza that night. What a nice dream

(35:06):
he had, you know. I mean this agreed with scripture.
If you ever think you've gotten a dream that tells
you truth and it's not contained in scripture, I want
you to know that was not a dream from God.
In fact, it could be a dream from the devil.
God will never show you something that's not in scripture.

(35:27):
Brother Mike Philip and I we both know some people
that they actually prayed together so that God would show
them other books of the Bible that aren't in the Bible,
that have truth in them that the Bible doesn't contain,
so they could learn those things. Man, that is the

(35:47):
most terrifying thing I think a person could pray for.
I don't think God will ever answer a prayer like that.
It's not according to the will of God. If you're
getting things that aren't from the Bible. If you go
outside the by any stretch, you are getting into error,
and you're not going to attract the power and the
presence of the Holy Ghost. You're going to track devils

(36:10):
to you. You know, if Ezekiel chapter twenty, God said,
don't mix my name with any other religion, with any
other ideas, with what you considered any other inspired words.
You mix my name with it. He said, I tolerated
you Israel when you were in Egypt and you were

(36:31):
amongst those gods, and they obviously evidently get into some
of that idle worship if you study Ezekiel chapter twenty
out to twenty degree at all. And he said, but
I wrot for my namesake. And then after you get
out of Egypt and you were in the wilderness, you
went and messed around with a golden calf, and I
was ready to destroy you, but he says, I tolerated it,

(36:52):
and for my name's sake, because people would say, look,
God couldn't even take them out of Egypt successfully. He
had to destroy them. And then he says, then I've
brought you into the land. And he says, don't mix
my name with idols anymore. Don't bring aspects of other
religions into this thing where I have given you my

(37:13):
name and defile my name by associating it with that
spiritual trash. To be blunt, he said, I'll destroy you.
I will do it this time. And so here God
was wanting to bring them into this promised land, and
they were doubting and weren't getting in because of their doubt.

(37:36):
And just like forty years later, when he would bring
them in with the Ark of the Covenant opening up
the Jordan, that arc, there was a barrier there. There
was a barrier. The Jordan River was flooding its banks
at that time of year, and it was so torrential,
and I mean it was the time of spring. It

(37:59):
just flooded, you know, the snow was melting from the
mountains and the water was coming down and it was
like a torrent. And of all times of the year,
God wants us to cross this. And just like our
parents forty years ago, they saw the giants and they
saw the walls, and they got terrified. And that same obstacle,
that same barrier type a wall, was kind of in

(38:21):
the form of the Jordan River. This time it was
another barrier, but a different form, but nevertheless a barrier,
and it raised fear in their hearts, and the fear
was in their parents, and they were kind of having
to go and deal with the same kind of fear
generally speaking, that their parents couldn't deal with. Because the
one that gets over this barrier, breaks through this thing

(38:43):
that will give you fear, is going to get into
the promised Land. Remember Jacob. Even Jacob was gone away
from his home because his brother was going to kill
him for taking the birthright, remember that. And he went
to Lamik and he found his wife there. Well, when
he wanted to go back and Laymik was against him.
And then he was told by God, go back to
your home. And it's like Jacob said, yeah, but my

(39:04):
brother he saw us there. You mean, go back to
where I used to be living and just like Israel
used to be in the Promised Land way back in
Joseph's day, before Joseph was sold as a slave to Egypt,
and all the family was there in the Promised Land
and they got out because of food. There was a famine,
just like Adam and Eve had to get out of
the garden because of food, the fruit of the knowledge

(39:27):
of good and evil. And now mankind's got to get
back in the garden. Now Israel's got to get back
into the Canan land. There's going to be a barrier
there to try to stop you. The devil gout Man out.
The devil got Israel out, And he's not gonna just
sit there as they just waltz on in through, just
like mankind. He's not. The devil got us out of there,
and he's not gonna sit there without doing something about

(39:47):
seeing us trying to get back in there. And he's
gonna stir up every barrier he can, in the form
of fear, in the form of a wall, in the
form of an obstacle. And he did it with giants
and walls thirty eight or forty years earlier when they
actually did cross. From the time they actually did cross
in the past till actually entering in. And there was

(40:08):
another fear. There was the Jordans swelling up. When you
are ready to get into this place that God wants you,
your flesh is going to rise up. The devil's going
to appeal to it in so many ways to make
you primarily afraid and keep you from going in there.
But what brought them through, Hallelujah, was the ark of

(40:29):
the Covenant that they would hold up. And that ark
of the Covenant had been sprinkled with blood for those
forty years. Every day of Atonement they had sprinkled blood
on there as a sacrifice to atone for their sins
on the day of atonement, and back then though the
Old Testament levitical high priest couldn't take them on into
the holiest, but yet they were nevertheless still having atonement day. Well,

(40:52):
Jesus is our atonement, hallelujah, and the real atonement that
takes us into the holiest, as the Ark of the
Covenant depicted, when the mercy Seat upon which the blood
had been sprinkled for years, opened up the Jordan River
to take us in the death of Jesus on the
Cross opened up the veil in the Temple to get

(41:13):
us into the same thing that the power or the
Promised Land was representing, which the holiest of holies was
representing in the Temple, getting back into the Kingdom realm, hallelujah.
God didn't want us to be slaves in Egypt with
whips on our backs. He wanted us to be ruling
over those tormenting devils, ruling over Satan, praise God, ruling

(41:37):
over our own flesh, having kingdom power in Jesus' name.
And that was represented by the ark, which had a
mercy seat on it, which represents the throne of God
going into the Throne room. And that ark had the
people follow it in into the holiest of the land
of Canaan hallelujah. You see, they couldn't get into the

(42:01):
holiest of holies in the Tabernacle. But God says, Okay,
this is still the time of the Old Testament. This
is still the time when it's not right ready, and
it's not ripe for me to bring them into the holiest,
the real, the true Promised Land, the real spiritual Kingdom.
But I'm going to give them a little picture of it.
I'm going to after all these years in the wilderness

(42:23):
of not being able to get into that holiest. I'm
going to give them a temporary picture of what it's
going to happen in the New Testament Kingdom of God message.
I'm going to take that Promised Land as if it
was the holiest of holies, and I'm going to open
up that Jordan River like I'm ripping the veil so
that they can get in there. And when those priests
took that Ark of the Covenant in there, it's like

(42:43):
King Jesus was sitting on the throne, And when kings
were paraded around in public, they were put on the
shoulders on a throne of servants, and these priests were
holding up as if Jesus was sitting on the throne
and we're going in behind him. That people went and
followed and entered into the Promised Land into which the

(43:04):
Ark of the Covenant was entering. Hallelujah. And it was
in that land where Melchizedek had been way back in
the days when Abraham was already in the land. And
Abraham won some battles like a Kingdom of God needs
to win, and Melchizedec gives him bread and wine. The

(43:28):
very symbols of what Jesus used to represent his death
on the cross, which opened up the vale. Melchizedek is
in the land with Abraham in the land, and he
gives Abraham bread and wine and blesses not just Abraham,
he blesses God. He said, bless it be the most

(43:48):
High God. And it's a blessing to God when we
honor his work which we couldn't perform, to get us
into this eternal life, to get us into this kingdom,
to get us into the New Testament church. Because it's
not our works, it's not our good deeds, but it's
his death, his burial, and his resurrection. And that's what

(44:11):
Abraham was representatively being given by Melchizedek. The bread and
the wine, the key. You see, that blood that was shed,
that body that was broken, was symbolized by the broken
bread and the poured wine. And that represents the death
of Jesus. And it's no coincidence that when Jesus died
that veil ripped open that would lead them into, spiritually speaking,

(44:35):
the promised Land, lead them into the holiest of holies,
lead them into the Garden of Eden again. And Abraham
the first time he met Melchizedek sees Melchizedeck give him
bread and wine, and it was after that that generations
later they left the land, just like Adam and Eve

(44:57):
left the garden, and then they're going back to get
into the land again in Joshua's day when that barrier
is there, but it's being breached by the Ark of
the Covenant. In other words, that blood that was sprinkled
on the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant
represents the death of Jesus Christ that puts him on

(45:18):
the throne that Isaiah saw in Isaiah chapter six, when
Isaiah saw the future when Jesus would die, resurrect from
the dead and go up into heaven and sit on
that throne and be a forerunner for us to get
into the holiest of holies. That's what that arc represented,
and it was taking them in, and it's so completely

(45:42):
tied and connected to Jesus' death that opened up the veil,
and that veil had the caribbim on it, which we
talked about so many times, just like the entrance to
the Garden of Eden had caribbin blocking it, and we're
getting back into the garden like Israel was getting back
into the Promised Land where Abraham used to be. Hallelujah.
And we're getting back into the kingdom where God made

(46:02):
us kings and priests to begin with, and the devil
had us thrown out of it because of food. But
now we're getting back in. And Melchizedek was in that land.
That's where his priesthood was functioning. But where was the
priesthood of visual functioning? Where did it originate outside of
the land in the wilderness. You see the difference between

(46:24):
the Old New Covenant. The Old Covenant had a priesthood
of the Levites. The New Covenant has a priesthood of Melchizedek.
And you and I are kings and priests. Remember, a
king couldn't be a priest in the Old Testament unless
there was an exception like David, a man after God's owner,
unless there's an exception like Melchizedek. Hallelujah. And at this

(46:48):
point I want to take you to Hebrews chapter seven
for this Melchizedek, King of Salem, priest of the Most
High God, whom I met Abraham returning from the slaughter
of the kings. That's what we read in Genesis fourteen
and blessed him with bread and wine. Remember, and this

(47:08):
man was given by Abraham a tenth part of all.
Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek, and being by interpretation that
Melchizedek means king of righteousness, and that King of Salem
Salem in English is Shalom and Hebrew, which is peace,

(47:31):
king of peace. The King of Salem means the king
of peace. Hallelujah. And look at this was Melchizedek, God
in the flesh, like Jesus was.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
No.

Speaker 6 (47:43):
But I'm going to show you what it does represent,
what it does teach us, and what he represents. This
king that Abraham gave tithes to, whose name meant king
of righteousness. And then because he was the King of Salem,
that means king of peace. He was without father, he

(48:05):
was without mother, he was without descent. Now stop and
think of it. Somebody said, well, if this guy has
no father, if he has no mother, if he doesn't
have a descent, then it's got to be God. That's
not what it's saying. It said made like the son

(48:28):
of God. He wasn't the son of God, and he
wasn't even God. Who would be the son of God?
When God would manifest in flesh. He is made like
the son of God. But what that's saying when it
says he has no father is back in Levi's day.
In the Old Covenant priesthood, you had to have genealogical

(48:51):
papers to prove you were a priest. You had to
have them. You had to have genealogical records. And I
want to show you that records of genealogy. It's going
to take me a minute to get it here, so
just bear with me. It talks about it in Ezra

(49:18):
chapter two. It talks about people who sought their register
among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were
not found. You see, these people were supposed to be priests.
And it says after Ezra, Ezra was written at the

(49:38):
time when Israel was coming out of bondage in Egypt,
and see out of Bondageneta, I mean bondage and Babylon. Sorry,
bondage and Babylon. Now remember this, just like they were
in the Promised Land and taken it to bodanage in Egypt
and had to get back to the promised land that
represents us in the Garden of Eden. We went into
bondage of sin and God's got to give z back

(50:00):
the garden. Well, there was another illustration that was very
similar showing the same truth. Israel was in the land
of Israel, Canaan went into bondage in Babylon and then
had to get back into Canaan again. So when they
were getting back into Canaan, it said that the people
that were supposed to be involved with the priesthood were

(50:21):
put from the priesthood. They were thrown away from it.
They were just as much as if they were polluted
people because the genealogy and their registry weren't found. You
could not be a levitical priest unless you had a
registry to prove it. That's how important it was back

(50:42):
in that time. You had to have that registry. You
had to have a record. Well, Melchizedek has no record.
You don't read of him showing Abraham. Well, here's my records,
here's my genealogy. You see my father. You know that
proves I'm in a certain tribe, so I can be
a priest. See here's where my mother comes from. Ye,
that same idea, I'm going to be a priest. Now, No,

(51:05):
he didn't have that. He wasn't of the order of Levi,
the Lord of Levite never even existed yet. So that's
what it means when it tells Us in Hebrews chapter
seven that he was without father and without mother. There
were no records of his genealogy, which was a huge

(51:28):
difference from the levitical priesthood. But it has a message
to it because he obviously had a father and he
obviously had a mother. But because there's no records, the
fact that the records were absent is a message, a
spiritual picture because Jesus as a man, according to Jesus humanity,

(51:50):
he had no father that was human, right, His father
wasn't Joseph? You know when Mary found him as a
boy twelve years old and they found him at the
temple after he's missing for three days, to remember what
the first words were that she said to Jesus, your
father and I sought you. And then Jesus goes, how

(52:14):
is it that you sought me my father and you
my mother sought me. How did you say I'm about
my father's business? He gently reminded Mary, this guy's not
my daddy. God's my father. As per Jesus humanity, he

(52:35):
had no earthly father. And then when it says without mother,
that's talking about his deity, because as God, he has
no mother. I'm sorry, folks, Mary is not the mother
of God. She's the mother of the humanity, but not
the deity. Mary is not the mother of God. Humanity

(53:01):
without father, his deity without mother. And it tells us
having neither beginning of days nor end of life. Melchizedic
had no records. There's not even a record of when
Melchizedic died. You don't have it. It's absent from history.
So as much as his genealogical ancestral record was absent,

(53:25):
not necessary for him to be priests, and his death
and records of that were absent. It's a picture as
though somebody had no beginning of days and they had
no end of life. And that is a representation of Jesus.
And it says abides a priest continually. Jesus is eternal.

(53:48):
He had no beginning and he has no ending. Hallelujsh.
And now when he goes back to Melchizedeic, he says, now,
just consider how great this man was, unto whom even
the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of his spoils. He
gave ties to Melchizedek. Now this is interesting. They that

(54:08):
are the sons of Levi, who received the office of
the priesthood, have a command to take tithes of the
people according to the law. Now Melchizedek was taken ties
from Abraham, but it wasn't according to the law. Folks,
ties did not start under law. Don't listen to this nonsense.

(54:28):
They tell you that tithing is under the law, so
you shouldn't do it. He said, Abraham gave ties to Melchizedek,
and Melchizdeck received them. But the Levites received them. But
they received them according to the law, and that is
of their brethren. Though they came out of the loins
of Abraham. So here, when Abraham was giving ties to Melchizedic,

(54:53):
the Levites weren't even born yet. They were still inside
of Abraham's loins. They hadn't come out in existence yet,
and they wouldn't come out until Jacob would become Israel,
and then the twelve tribes would come, and one of
Jacob's sons was named Levi, and then from that tribe
in Moses day, not even before that, but not until

(55:15):
Moses day, the Levites became the priest. And so they
received ties from the rest of their brethren, the rest
of the Israelites, but they came out of the loins
of Abraham. Now watch how he goes along with us,
he whose descent is not counted from them. Melchizedek is
getting ties from Abraham, not like the Levites were getting

(55:37):
ties from their brethren. They can only get ties from
their brethren, the Levites. But Abraham is receiving ties. That's
he's not from the descent of that family. You know,
he's a completely different priesthood. He not only has no
records that are required for him to be a priest,

(55:58):
but he's receiving ties from the Israelites, which the Levites
had to receive from only and nobody else. So, and
not only that, Abraham was blessed by Melchizedek. And look
what it says about somebody that blesses you without all contradiction.

(56:19):
In other words, nobody can disagree with it. This is
as plain as the nose in your face. The less
is blessed of the better. So Abraham was less than Melchizedek.
Melchizedek blessed Abraham, and he had to be greater than
Abraham in order to bless him. The less is always
blessed by the one that's better than them. So here

(56:42):
Paul said, in our day, men that die receive ties.
And here's another difference between Melchizedek and Abe the Levites.
There he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that
he lives. Now again, you might think that means he
must be God, because he never died. He's still again,

(57:03):
it was only symbolically showing that because there was no
record of his death. Remember what it said earlier. So
if he had no record of his death, it's like spirits.
Symbolically speaking. There was never a death involved, but they
had the deaths recorded of all the Israelites. Just read
the Bible and you'll get in. Even in Genesis five,
it's talking about the living and the dying, and the

(57:24):
living and dying and going on and on and so
as I may say, so, Levi, also, who receives ties,
paid ties in Abraham. Now remember what he said, the
less is blessed by the one that's better. So Melchizdek
was greater than Abraham, so he was able to bless Abraham. Well,

(57:49):
Levi came from Abraham, and Levi was receiving ties from
other people. Now you don't read of Abraham paying anybody
or I'm sorry, Melchizdic, you don't read of Melchizedic paying
ties to anybody. Right, he just received them. And the
Levites they were receiving ties. But because in Abraham's time,

(58:15):
before they even were born, they were in Abraham's loins.
They were in Abraham when Abraham was paying ties to Melchizedek.
So you could say that they were paying ties when
Abraham was doing it, because they came from his body,
and his body when it was alive, was paying ties
to Melchizedek. So here you've got Melchizedek, which has a

(58:41):
priesthood that's so far superior to the Levites, that these
Levites that were getting ties from all of their brother
and Israelites, they were paying ties. And remember, you give
to that which is in the spirit greater. And Abraham
was left, yes than Melchizedic. And Melchizedeic blessed him, because

(59:03):
the less is blessed by the better. And Abraham honored
him and paid ties to him. And these guys that
are getting all these ties from all the Israelites, they
were actually inside of Abraham when he was paying ties
to show how inferior their priesthood was compared to Abram.
Do you get that? Isn't that something? So if perfection

(59:24):
was by the levitical priesthood, for under it the people
received the law, what further need was there that another
priest should arise after another order, and a completely different
order of Melchizedic, and not be called after the order
of Aaron. Aaron was a Levi Melchizedic. You see, there's
another priesthood that ers arisen, and it was already in

(59:46):
existence before the Levites. In Paul's day, the Levites were
still operating under the Old Testament when Jesus did away
with the Old Testament, and so they were still operating
in that inferior covenant. But long before they had even
start their covenant, back in Abraham's day, there was a
priesthood called the priesthood of Melchizedek. And then now in

(01:00:06):
Paul's day, Jesus had come and he rose up after
the order of Melchizedek. He came into a superior Everything
about the Book of Hebrews, Hallelujah, I love that book
is how better it is in the New Covenant than
it is in the Old If you want to find
the theme of the Book of Hebrews, it's a better covenant,
and you've got it all in a nutshell. It's better promises,

(01:00:29):
it's a better covenant. It's better blood because it's not
the blood of animals, it's the blood of Jesus, hallelujah.
It's a better city, New Jerusalem, our Jerusalem, which is
above the Mother of us all hallelujah. It's a better temple,
Praise God. We're temples of the Holy Ghost, not stone
temples made with that. You can get into the holiest
of holies in this New Covenant, but you couldn't in

(01:00:50):
the Old Testament, in the Old Covenant. And so here
this is what it's talking about when it talks about
the priesthood after the Order of Melchizedek and blood God. Folks,
you're a king and a priest if you're born again.
According to the Book of Acts, chapter two, verse thirty eight,
you're a king and you're a priest. But it's after
the Order of Melchizedek, not after the Order of Levi.

(01:01:12):
But this is what I want to hammer home. Hallelujah.
We've spent a lot of time. I hardly got anywhere
with what I wanted to say, But the Holy Ghost
just said, slow down, Mike, slow down. Really show them
who Melchizedek was. Explain to them what Hebrews chapter seven
is actually saying. Amen. But oh, myne, we are in

(01:01:34):
a way of thinking too much that we might as
well still be under the old Covenant. We might as
well have a levitical priesthood in the church because we're
afraid to get into the holiest of holies. Folks, that
barrier of fear is still there, just like it was

(01:01:54):
in the form of the giants in the Walls when
they're trying to get into the holiest of holies in Canaan,
and the Jordan River was swelling its banks when they're
trying to get in forty years later. Fear keeps people
from going into the holiest of holies. Today, I'm going
into the holiest place in the universe. I can't go

(01:02:15):
in there. Are you out of your mind? You don't
know the power of the Blood, you don't understand the
truth of Jesus Christ. You ought not be afraid of
anything about entering into the kingdom. But let alone, we're
afraid of lesser things like Satan. We're afraid of the dark.
We're afraid of demons, folks, They're just demons, they're nothing.

(01:02:40):
We tread them under our feet like serpents and scorpions.
He's given us all power over the works of the devil.
We are so far beyond Satan that he resurrected us
in immortal life. And all Satan could do is kill
who is he? Anyway, We're going in, and we've got
bigger fish to fry than We're into the holiest of holies.

(01:03:02):
And the Bible tells us in Hebrews chapter ten and
verse nineteen, go in boldly, Hallelujah, boldly into the holiest
of holies. Boldness. In other words, too many people are fearful.
Boldness is the opposite of fear. Get into that holiest
with boldness, go in by a new and living way,

(01:03:25):
with you consecrated through the veil, that is to say,
is flesh. And we've got a high priest over the
house of God. So draw near with a true heart,
and don't be hesitant, don't be double minded, have full
assurance of faith. Get your heart sprinkled from that evil conscience,
Get your bodies washed with pure water, and hold fast

(01:03:46):
this confession of your faith, and take that faith and
have boldness and enter in by the blood of Jesus, hallelujah.
As much as you hesitate to get into this deepest
sanctum of God's holiest, as much as you don't understand
about the Gospel, as much as you doubt if you're
worthy to go in. That's how much unbelief you have

(01:04:10):
of what Jesus did to you. If we truly had
a revelation of the blood and the power that we
are going in by not our own power. When you're hesitating,
to Gwen, you're thinking of your own power. When they
saw the giants in the walls, they thought of their
own power. We can't do it, we're grasshoppers. But Joshua
and Caleb said, God is with us. Are you out

(01:04:32):
of your mind? God is with us. I can do
all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Hallelujah. And that's
what we want to study in these studies. Praise God.
Oh my, I just flowed and flowed and flowed, and
I hardly took a chance to look at some notes.

(01:04:53):
I don't apologize for that, because we are in the spirit.
But let's just take a little breather for a moment
and get into this. Some of your comments hallelujah. Wow.

(01:05:31):
Mike Phillips says, he just talked about this today. It
happens subtly. Yeah, the enemy works away. The gospel is
that procession and proclamation of conquering conquest exactly. Brother, How
does ties work now that we are kings and priests
as God is king? The way that ties work is

(01:05:51):
that we do it like Abraham did. We give by faith,
and the Bible Act actually talks in one Corinthians nine,
verse thirteen about giving today. If you go back in
first Corinthians nine, Paul says, don't you think I'm an apostle?

(01:06:12):
Am I not free? I've seen Jesus Christ, our Lord.
You're my work in the Lord. If I be not
an apostle unto others, yea, doubtless I am to you
because the seal of my apostleship are you people in
the Lord. So he said, do you think that I've
got power? If I wanted to to eat and to drink?

(01:06:33):
Do you think that I could lead about a sister
and get married. Because Paul was single, like the other apostles,
have wives. I'm free to have a wife, he said.
The brethren of the Lord Jesus' own literal brothers, James,
and those in Peter or Cephas and or I only
in Barnabas have we not powered to forbear working? He says.

(01:06:56):
Barnabas and I are two preachers that we got to work.
We're making a living so we can have an income.
He said, you think we have to do that, He said,
if I wanted to. In other words, I could lead
about a sister and get married, he said, just like
Peter the other apostles, he said, if I wanted to,
I could forbear working. I wouldn't have to work to

(01:07:18):
make a living. But he says, listen to this. Who
goes at a warfare? What country takes a soldier and
makes that soldier pay his own way, doesn't the army
pay him? And who plants a vineyard and eats not
of his own fruit from the vineyard? Oh, I can't
eat this. This is mine, but I can't eat it,
he said, nobody does that. Or who feeds a flock

(01:07:39):
and doesn't take the milk from the flock or the goats?
He said, say these things as a man or doesn't
the law also say this. Let's go back to the
Old Covenant. He says, in the Law of Moses, don't
muzzle the mouth of the ox who treads out the corn.
And that represents a preacher working in the field for Jesus,

(01:08:02):
and the preachers like the ox. And when those oxen
in the Old Testament would eat from food on the
ground that they were actually working to haul to give
to others and sell, they could eat it. Just like
a man had a vineyard. He could take some of
those grapes himself and have some wine. He wasn't restricted

(01:08:24):
from it. He said, even under the law. He said,
it was the same way. And he said, look what
he's talking about as a minister, is God just talking
about oxes oxen? When he says, don't know, he said,
that's a message to us. He's talking about our sakes,
the ministers. He said, for our sakes, it's written us

(01:08:45):
us Apostles. He that plows should plow in hope, and
he that threshes in the hope. He should be a
partaker of his hope. In other words, what is he
talking about? That an ox can take part of that
which his work produces, and a man can eat from
his own vineyard that he's producing. He said, I have
sown unto you spiritual things. Is it a great thing

(01:09:08):
if I reap your carnal things? He's talking about money,
He's talking about an income. He says, you are giving
an income and an offering. He said, since I am
putting spiritual things in you, is it a real crime
that I'm receiving your offering and living by it? He says,
if others be partaker of this power over you, he said,

(01:09:29):
you Corinthians, you're giving offerings to other people. And he said, well,
what about us Apostles? He said, rather, we're the apostles.
But you know something, Corinthians, I haven't used this. I
haven't taken offerings from you, but I'm tolerating it because
you people are so carnel that it would cause the

(01:09:52):
Gospel to be hindered. That's how bad the Corinthians were.
What a shame that Paul had to say, I'm not
going to take offerings from you people, because you're just
going to use it and run the ministry down. You're
gonna make the gospel a hindrance. And that's I've heard
people do that. Oh you want money, money, money. Anybody

(01:10:14):
that's in the ministry for money ought to be kicked
out of the ministry as fast as they can be
kicked out, because that's not what the ministry is about.
But the ministers should be supported through ties and offerings,
and I'll prove that, he says, I haven't used the power.

(01:10:34):
He said, I'm putting up with this suffering because I
don't want to hinder the gospel, because you Corinthians are
a carnal lot, he said, don't you know that they
which minister about holy things live of the things of
the temple. In other words, the priests that are still
operating in the temple, which we know is over with now,
But just look at them. They're living on the old Covenant,

(01:10:56):
and what they have is offerings that are brought into
the temple. They live off of it. They take those
offerings and some of it goes to them. They which
wait at the altar are partakers with the altar. Back then,
their currency was food. Back then it was meat and

(01:11:16):
that and the priests that would take those things to
offer it on the altar, they took a part of
it and that was their food, but the rest of
it was offered to God. He said, even so, in
the same way that they were living from the temple.
Even so, the Lord ordained that they which preach the
Gospel should live of the Gospel. And so he's saying

(01:11:38):
that your offerings that are coming in for the work
of the Lord, some of it is what we live by.
He said, Now I won't do it to you Corinthians,
because you're so calnel, you're going to hinder the Kingdom
of God. Remember how colonel they were. Look what he
said in chapter three, He said, I couldn't speak unto
you as spiritual people, but is en to colonel like

(01:11:59):
your babies. I fed you with milk. I couldn't give
you meat, and still you're not able to bear it
from then until now hitherto neither. Yet, now you're colonel,
there's among you envying and strife and divisions. Are you not, colonel?
And Waka's men? So he says, you, Corinthians, I can't
take your offerings because you would just make such a
mouth about it that it would hinder the Gospel. So

(01:12:20):
guess what you're making me suffer? But I'm going to suffer. Amen.
So that's what he's talking about.

Speaker 7 (01:12:28):
And so.

Speaker 6 (01:12:31):
This includes even so, and part of the way that
the priests lived from the temple was by tithes. Part
of it was ties. It wasn't all ties, but part
of it was. So if he says the way they
lived from the temple under the Old Covenant and tithes
were there, just read the Old Testament. You'll read about it.

(01:12:52):
He said, in the same way, I can take ties,
or I can take offerings, and I could live it
as a preacher of the Gospel. But don't let anybody
tell you tithes started under law, because I already showed you.
Abraham gave ties to Melchizedec. And so today, to answer
your question, sister, that's how it happens. Today they're still ministers,

(01:13:16):
there's still preachers, and one Corinthians nine is saying I
could be taking it, but I'm not because of your carnality.
But I do have a right to do it. He said.
We live from the gospel that we're ministering. That's why
when Jesus sent them by twos, he said, take no purse,
take no script. He said, let those people feed you,

(01:13:39):
let them support you. Don't take money with you. You
just go and let them support you. That was Jesus' words.
So that's how we do it today, amen. Heraldo Rivero
was what was the money part? Again? How does ties
work now that we're kings and priests. So the money
part in that chapter is this, when the ox was

(01:14:05):
treading the corn, he could eat the corn. So, in
other words, that was part of his ministry was to
provide corn, and so he was allowed to eat from it.
And when the offerings came in to the temple, the
priests could live off of those offerings, whether it was
money or whether it was food. Back then the currency
was food and now it's money. So he says that

(01:14:31):
a vineyard keeper a soldier, he doesn't pay his own way.
The army pays him. So a preacher shouldn't have to
get a job. The church should pay him. And you
know something, I've got a job. I've got a job
now because I'm working with a church. But that just
started within this year, and they told me they want

(01:14:54):
to be able to support us one day, but they
can't rate now because there's ministries that have already been
there for years. So we're just believing God to do it,
he says. And the offerings that we get from right
now from you that's helping support me. And it's going
to be kind of more like that. I'm getting a
little older here and retirement is going to hit me soon,

(01:15:16):
and so I'm believing God that He's going to take
care of all of that. So we appreciate the folks
that are blessing and offerings. So the money part is
where he mentions right here, the carnal things. He says,
I'm giving you spiritual wealth. I'm giving you spiritual things
that are treasures. He said, is it wrong if I
take your carnal treasures or carnal things your offerings? And

(01:15:40):
you can read that in another version, and it might
say I give a spiritual planting, a spiritual seed in you.
So we have the right to accept material things as
our harvest from you. So it's talking about that's what
he means by money, the carnal things. And again, if

(01:16:00):
somebody is doing this for money, they shouldn't be in this.
This is not to be done for money. This is
to be done for the Kingdom of God, and so
we shouldn't be getting rich off it. There's something wrong
when people are going in that direction. Randy says, Hebrews
seven and eight. Yeah, look at that. Here. Let me

(01:16:25):
see men that die receives ties. So there, you've got
it right there. People were doing it in their day.
You must be connected to the same vine.

Speaker 7 (01:16:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:16:40):
See, Mike Philip, you know, he told me last night
he was going to be ministering about some of this
this morning. He has his streams in the morning. And
some of you folks watching now American Noucrater, you're seeing
this the morning after. I actually preached it now to
you that are watching this live. I'm preaching it now.
But Mike and I I didn't plan on getting into

(01:17:02):
that at all. But look at how the spirit is working.
So we've got these two ministries connected in more than
just they're getting the same cast that I'm giving you tonight.
Is the money part a symbol of marriage of how
Abraham did it being at seventy five years old getting
blessed from God and covenant beginnings. Abraham's blessings from God

(01:17:23):
was a net worth of one hundred million. Abraham was
definitely blessed, and God did bless him materially, and so
so there is a union there. There is a message
there about being blessed, and we're in covenant, just like
a man and woman geting covenant. With marriage, there is

(01:17:44):
a blessing, so there is something there. So by the way,
is it is a tenth a requirement how often it's
See under law, you had the word requirement and you
were cursed you didn't do it. Now Jesus' blood Jesus

(01:18:04):
became a curse for us. If they were paying ties
under the law, they wouldn't be cursed. Well, we're not
receiving curses because we're paying ties. We're not receiving curses
because of the blood of Jesus. Jesus became a curse
for us. So ties don't replace the blood of Jesus.

(01:18:26):
But under the old covenant, that's kind of what it
was like. So it's according to your faith like it
was with Abraham. Abraham gave by faith that God would
bless him, and so if you want to give by faith,
there's no restriction on how often it would be. Now
if it's ties me personally, I practice what I preach.

(01:18:48):
I give ties to our church, I give ties to
the pastor to with whom I work in the church.
And I received ties and it's just all a kingdom,
you know, pastors over churches receive ties from their members,
and I give consistently from all my income. That's what

(01:19:09):
I do, and I give others beside that as well.
I don't just give ties. I give more as well.
So it's as much as you're going to be dedicated
to the Lord. It's like give and it will be
given unto you the more you give, pressed down, shaken up.
Imagine I was breaking leaves up here in Canada. The
leaves are falling from the trees, so I was pressing
down the bag so I can fit more leaves in.

(01:19:31):
And that's what it's talking about. If you give an
offering and you press it down so you could put
more in, you're going to get blessed like that. So
if you do it by faith, it's up to you
according to your faith. And if you're going to give
so that you don't be cursed, don't give. Don't give
if you're doing it so you don't be cursed because
you're back under law. But give like Abraham man, I'm

(01:19:54):
blessing this Melchizedic priesthood. And when you give like that,
So when we think of requirement, we think of how
often we're getting into legalism. But if you're going to give,
give according to your faith and in faith, that you're
going to be blessed for it, hallelujah, not that you're

(01:20:14):
avoiding a curse. So I hope that answers that. What
else is there? Abraham had stuff, but he would also
give up the child a promise on the spot if
it ordered. Yeah, Abraham had a lot of material wealth
and like brother said, could be one hundred million dollars worth,

(01:20:36):
but he gave willingly his only son Isaac. If God
said do it. See he had a giving heart. And
look at this. In one Corinthian seven, I want to
show you something now. In one Corinthian seven, he's talking about marriage,
but he says something interesting, that's a principle that applies

(01:21:00):
to anything. Let me find where he's actually saying it.
I didn't tend to get into this tonight, So where
is that? Okay? Back in that day, Paul actually told

(01:21:22):
the Christian single men not to marry. If you married,
you haven't sinned. But he said, if you're bound to
a wife, don't get rid of her. But he said
it's good for men not to be married. Why because
he talked about the uh, they were under such distress.
They're under such persecution at that time. He says, if

(01:21:45):
you marry, you haven't sinned, and if you're virgin Mary,
she hasn't sinned. But you will have trouble in the flesh.
You know won't be so easy. And again he's only
talking about how they were so persecuted in that day
that you know you're gonna have to deal with babies
and all of that. It's better just for the time being,
because they're going through persecution like you wouldn't believe. And
then God finally destroyed the temple and the persecution stopped.

(01:22:06):
But he says, if you weep, weep as though you
didn't weep, if you rejoice, rejoice as though you rejoice not.
If you buy as though they possess not, and they
that use this world don't abuse it because the fashion
this world passes away. Now, what's he mean if you
weep as though you're not weeping, and rejoice as though

(01:22:27):
you're not rejoicing. In other words, if you're gonna have money,
live like you don't, don't live for money. It's like
it's hard for a rich man to enter into the
Kingdom of heaven because money goes to his head so
much that he just indulges with lusts because of his money.
So there's nothing wrong with being a millionaire. But if

(01:22:49):
you're a millionaire, act as though you're not a millionaire.
You know, it's not a sin to be a millionaire
or a billionaire. It's not a sin. But live like
you're not that like, don't get caught up in that.
In the if you have to go to the doctor,
and some people don't believe even you have to go
to doctor, so God bless you according to your faith whatever.
But let me bring out a point. They use morphine

(01:23:09):
in the hospital to kill pain, and so morphine can
be good. But how many know there are morphine addicts.
They are addicted to morphine. So that's kind of like
the idea Paul saying, you can get addicted to money.
You can get even preachers, you know, the offerings get
coming in and oh boy, they're not. They don't have

(01:23:30):
to drive around in an old JALOPI that you know
any day now is going to be gone to the junkyard.
I can get a good car. But he said, don't
let it go to your head. If you rejoice as
though you didn't rejoice if you weep as though you
didn't weep. You buy things, and you make some things
your possession, live with them like they're not possessing you.

(01:23:53):
You know, like morphine can be used as medicine, but
don't take too much of it you get addicted to it.
Use this world, but don't abuse it because the fashion
this world's gonna pass away. So I would have you
without carefulness. He that's unmarried cares for the things that
belong to the Lord how he plays the Lord. But
he that's married cares for the things out of the world.

(01:24:14):
So I wanted to bring out that principle though have
as though you don't have. And so that kind of
is like what Mike Phillips said. Abraham was rich, but
he'd give any of it away if he had to. Hallelujs.
Hey Michelle Boucham, good to see you tonight. She's from
our church in Winnipeg too, Believers Church. Amen. So we

(01:24:40):
got into a lot again tonight. Now this is two
weeks in a row. I've gone so much into something
the Lord just led us into. And I had some
notes and I never even hardly touched them tonight because
this Lord was just leading us. So we're gonna keep
following the spirit because I've got more to say, I
really do. But tonight, what I wanted you to see
is that into that Promised Land, through that Jordan, is

(01:25:04):
that it ripped up and opened like a veil was
opening to get into the holiest of holies. And then
Melchizedek priesthood operates in there where the levitical priesthood started
out in the wilderness. What a difference. What a difference, Hey, Michelle,
By the way, you were asking me Luigo, who Melchizdic was.

(01:25:24):
I explained a lot of it right here in this video,
so you can watch it again later. God bless you well.
If that's all amen, Speaking of what we just spoke,
I usually send this out by now, but I haven't
done this yet. But if you want to support the ministry,

(01:25:50):
it's time for offering. And if you'd like to give
to our ministry, and this is a blessing to you,
you can do so by e transfer or PayPal at
BOLM portage at gmail dot com or PayPal dot me
slash Breath of Life Church. We really appreciate your giving
and it goes toward the work of this ministry.

shed right until all because now no one to help
