Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hello, I'm Richard Grunn. Welcome to the Porch on Firefall
Talk Radio. This is where you find the uncompromised red
letter basics of the Word of God, where we focus
on the book of actor Church to see how they
serve the Lord. In doing so, we find the Church
the Lord intended and not the one man created. The
(00:45):
Porch is here to restore the priesthood of the believer
while regaining the world's shaking influence that the early Church had.
The Church age isn't over. The Upper Room experience is
as much for today as it was on a day
of Pentecost, just as it was theirs if they wanted it.

(02:33):
We love you, Abah Papa Daddy. You are everything to us.
We love you so much. We thank you. Thank you
for our lives. Thank you for what you've done. Thank
you for rescuing us through Yashua and asking him to
(02:55):
pay our debts, debts that we never would have been
able to pay, but thankfully he did and we have
been reconciled. To you. Lord, what you've done for us
is amazing. Your grace is amazing, your love is amazing.
We thank you for everything. You did, you did on
(03:15):
the cross, and everything you're doing in our life through
the Holy Spirit. We thank you for the ability to
come together and to learn and to be inspired and
then to take this and do something with it, so
that means the Holy Spirit. We thank you for helping us,
and that's what we ask tonight. Help us, help us
to understand, help us to believe and receive, Help us
(03:36):
to change what needs to be changed. Help us to
share and give this to others so that they too
can be changed. Pray protection over us, a home of lands, families,
pet's possessions, everything we have, no distractions, no sickness, no illness,
no injury, no disease. We thank you for that Psalm
(03:57):
ninety one, covering that You've given to us to watch
over us and to shield us in a fallen world.
Protect this technology. Don't let the enemy do anything to
stop this from going out there. Let your word go forth.
Let it go forth in power and love, in truth,
(04:19):
in Jesus' name, Amen. These lessons are proprietary information, except

open those bibles, those apps. However, you follow along again,
have a tangible Bible. The time will come when you
(05:10):
won't be able to log on, you won't be able
to listen, you won't be able to plug anything in.
Open it up to Luke chapter four. We're going to
start with verse sixteen. So he, he being issuer, came
to Nazareth we had been brought up. And as his
custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath
(05:32):
day and stood up to read. And he was handed
the book of the Prophet Isaiah. And when he had
opened the book, he found the place where it was written.
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to
proclaim liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind,
(05:57):
to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim
the acceptable year of the Lord. Now they knew the scripture.
It was Prophet Isaiah. And I always find it interesting
he didn't ask for the scroll of Isaiah. They handed
it to him. That's how God does things. The spirit
(06:18):
of the Lord is upon me, he says, I am
the Messiah. Is basically what he's saying, because he has
anointed me to preach the good news to the poor.
He has sent me to announce release, pardon, forgiveness to
the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, to pre
(06:39):
to free those who are oppressed, who are downtrodden, a
bruised crushed by tragedy, to proclaim the favorable year of
the Lord, the day when salvation and the favor of
God abound greatly. He's quoting from Isaiah sixty one, verses
one and two, which is the prophetic word about salvation
(07:04):
is coming to the Jews through the Messiah. And of
course he's saying it exactly, but he leaves one section out.
The spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord
has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor. Yep,
he said that he has sent me to heal the
broken hearted. Yep said that to proclaim liberty to the
(07:26):
captives m h. And the opening of the prison to
those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of
the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God
to comfort all whom warned. You didn't say anything about
the vengeance of our God. No, he didn't, because that
was in the future. What he was reading from was
(07:50):
for that moment. He was announcing that he was a
royal figure and he had a prophetic mission. That mission
was to heal the broken hearted, those who were discouraged
because of their plight in life. Boy, is that easy
to happen? He was proclaiming liberty to the captives, captives
(08:13):
to Sin, captive, to the fallen, captives to Hacitan and
the kingdom of Darkness. And this captivity is really referring
Isaiah to the captivity in Babylon, but Yasue was referring
to sin when the image addresses both physical and spiritual realities.
(08:34):
He proclaimed the acceptable Year of the Lord, an allusion
to Jubilee, every fiftieth year in which all the deaths
were forgiven, slaves were given their freedom, and ancestral lands
were given back to their original families. The year of
Jubilee allowed for a new starts out of Leviticus twenty
(08:56):
five to ten. And you shall consequent e the fiftieth
year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land, to all
its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and
each of you shall return to his possessions, and each
of you shall return to his family. It's describing Israel's
(09:18):
deliverance from exile and Babylon, but ultimately it's the fulfillment
of the awaited coming of the Messianic age. She is
offering total cancelation of spiritual debt and a new beginning
to those who respond to his message. The interesting thing
(09:45):
about that is he's not just paying off your debts.
And you don't have to claim it. No, you have
to claim it. You have to respond to the message
and the spirit. The Rotkkradish is upon him. Got baptized
by cousin John, and Jordan goes into the wilderness and
(10:07):
gets tempted. And he's standing there fully empowered to begin
his mission because he has anointed me to preach the
gospel to the poor, sent to heal the broken hearted,
proclaim liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind,
(10:30):
and to set at liberty those who are oppressed. The
signs of the Messiah. The lame walk, blind, see the deaf,
hear the dead, or raised. It's a twofold ministry. He's
anointed to preach. Was he preaching anything now? Is he
preaching his opinion? Now? He's preaching a very specific message
(10:53):
of good news to those who are poor, that are
destitute and needy, not just physical, not financially, but spiritually.
He's offering deliverances, deliverance to those captive to sin, to sickness,
and to death. Acts ten thirty eight. How God anointed
(11:15):
Yeshiah of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power
with Dunamus, who went about doing good and healing all
who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with
him Hebrews Chapter two, verses fourteen and fifteen. Inasmuch then
as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he
(11:36):
capitaliged himself likewise shared in the same that through death
he might destroy him who had the power over death,
that is the devil, and released those who, through fear
of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Hallelujah, acceptable,
(12:00):
your Lord, you believe explained it to you. If you
want to read the full thing. Luke Leviticus twenty five,
verses eight through thirteen. But it's atonement it's everything's been
stolen from you and taken from you is given back.
You're fully embraced. You can go home. You've been restored,
(12:26):
and in this case you have full dominion over Satan,
and you are a member of the family of God.
He's speaking, of course, to the Jews, but we're going
to find out he's not only speaking to them. He's
been anointed to heal. You can't have you, Suah. You
(12:49):
can't have the Gospel without healing to those broken in heart, mind, soul,
and body, those that are blind spiritually, physically and spiritually
living in darkness. Healing and light and escape from darkness.
(13:12):
It's the basics of who he is. And they knew.
They knew. They weren't confused about this. They knew what
the Messiah would do. When John the Baptist, his father
Zacharias prophesies over him in the Woman in Luke chapter one,
verses seventy six through seventy nine. He says, and you
(13:37):
child will be called the Prophet of the Highest, for
you will go before the face of the Lord to
prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people.
And he's not in the womb. He's out of the woman.
They've shown it to him and say, hey, here's a kid,
and he suddenly can speak again, and they start arguing
about what his name's going to be. You can go
(13:57):
back and read it. You will be called the Prophet
of the Highest, for you will go before the face
of the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge
of a salvation to his people by the remission of
their sins through the tender mercy of our God, with
which the day spring capital d from on high has
(14:20):
visited us, to give light to those who sit in
darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our
feet into the way of peace. So they knew they
knew what the Messianic age would represent, or did they
(14:43):
now we know? When Jesus heard that John had been
put in prison, he departed to Galilee. I'm in Matthew four,
studying verse twelve, and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt
in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions
of Zebulen and Naphtali, And that it might be fulfilled
which was broke spoken by the prophet Isaiah, saying the
(15:07):
land of Zebulon and the land of Neptali by the
way of the sea beyond the Jordan Galilee of the Gentiles.
The people who sit in darkness have seen a great light,
and upon those who sat in the region and the
shadow of death, light has dawned. And from that point
on you sure began to preach and say repent, for
(15:30):
the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. So they're not
confused about who the Messiah is. They're not confused about
what he's there to do. But there's certain things that
we're going to see in the Slut chapter four that
either they didn't know it or they didn't want to
(15:53):
know it. But this is the key to who he is.
This is the key to who we are. Colossians one,
starting verse nine. For the reason we also since the
day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you,
and to ask that you be filled with the knowledge
(16:17):
of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that
you walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being
fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge
of God, strengthened with all might according to His glorious power,
for all patience and long suffering with joy, giving thanks
(16:39):
to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He
has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed
us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love,
and whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness
of sins. You have been redeemed. You've been taken translated,
(17:03):
snatched out of the powers of darkness, the kingdom of darkness,
and translated into conveyed into the Kingdom of Light, to
the Kingdom of the Sun. The bruise and the completely
(17:23):
crushed and shattered in life, the oppressed and the broke,
and they all came to him. They all knew, they
all knew what they needed, and they knew he had it.
In Luke thirteen, verses ten through seventeen, we see I'm
teaching in the synagogues on the Sabbath, and there's a
(17:44):
woman who has the spirit of infirmity. She's had it
for eighteen years, and she's bent over and could not
raise herself up. And when she saw her, he called
her to him and said, woman, you are loosed from
your infirmity. And he laid his hands on her, and
immediately she was straight and glorified God. But the ruler
(18:07):
of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus healed on
the Sabbath. And he said to the crowd, there are
six days in which men ought to work. Therefore, come
and be healed on them, not on the Sabbath day.
And the Lord answered him and said, hypocrite, do not
each one of you, on the Sabbath loose his ox
(18:29):
or donkey from the stall and lead it to a
way to water. It so ought not this woman, being
a daughter of Abraham, whose satan has bound, think of
it for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on
the Sabbath. And when he said these things, all his
adversaries were put to shame, and all the multitudes rejoiced
(18:53):
for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Right there, you know what he's showing. He's showing he's
not there for religion. He's not there for man's traditions.
He's not there for what they think or what their
opinions are. He's there to set the captives free. He's
(19:14):
there to heal the crush, the shattered, the oppressed, the broken.
And then he closes the book in the middle of
the sentence as I pointed out. And he doesn't continue,
because that phrase the day of the vengeance of our
God was not being fulfilled then, but it would be.
(19:36):
Picking up in verse twenty, and he closed the book
and gave it back to the attendant and sat down.
And the eyes of all who were in synagogue were
fixed on him, and he began to say to them, today,
the scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. Think about that.
(19:57):
He sat down like a king sits down, and he
makes a declaration to day, this scripture is fulfilled in
your hearing. So all bore witness to him and were
marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth.
And they said, is this not Joseph's son? And he
(20:20):
said to them, you will surely say this proverb to me, physician,
heal thyself. Whatever we have done heard done in compernaum,
do also hear in your country. And then he said, assuredly,
I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his
own country. But I tell you truly, many widows were
(20:42):
in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven
was shut up for three years and six months, and
there was a great famine throughout all the land, but
to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zaraphath
in the region of Sa'dan, to woman who was a
widow since first King seventeen and eighteen. By the way,
(21:05):
she's not a Jew. And many lepers were in Israel
in the time of Elisha the prophet, none of them
were a cleansed except Naman, the Syrian Tewod kings chapter five.
By the way, he's not a Jew. But they got
his message. So all those in the synagogue, when they
(21:28):
heard these things, they were filled with wrath and rose
up and thrust him out of the city. And when
they led him to the brow of the hill in
which the city was built, that they might throw him
down the cliff. Then, passing through the midst of them,
he went his way. He passed through the crowd, supernaturally,
(21:48):
walks right through, revealing his sovereign majesty. It wasn't his
time to die, but it was foreshadowing what was to come.
So this sermon in Nazareth previewed his whole public ministry.
He returned to his hometown, to the synagogue, returned to
(22:11):
his roots, began his mission from there, and he announced
the good news Salvation has arrived, and they were pleased
about it. Don't get them wrong. They were good with
it until he reminded them that God reaches out to
(22:33):
the Gentiles as well as to the Jews. People in
the synagogue were furious because he was pointing out the
favor that God had shown to the Gentiles. The Jews
viewed themselves as the sole recipients of God's favor, and
they were oppressed by their gentile overlords. And this infuriated them,
(22:57):
and they wanted to kill him. Nothing's different today. It's
still the same today. This scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.
You are present at the beginning of the new age
(23:17):
of Salvation. You're here on the day that these things
have been declared. Jubilee is coming, Debts will be erased,
slaves freed, ancestral lands returned. They were good with all
that until he said, and the Gentiles get it too. Now.
(23:42):
The Abrahamic religions, which we know as Christian, jew and Muslim,
they believe in the Messianic Age. They believe in a
future eternal period on earth during which the Messiah will
reign and he will bring universal peace and brotherhood free
(24:05):
from all evil. Of course, they each believe it differently
to refer to it as the Kingdom of God or
the world to come, and it was prophesied about over
and over and over and over. Now why am I
belaboring this point? You should know me by now. If
(24:31):
I do that, it's important and you need to get it,
because to do what we have been called to do
in these final days and the final tics of the clock,
it's going to take understanding. It's going to take having
this word inside of you. It's going to take understanding
what the mission is. To never forget why you're doing
(24:53):
what you're doing. It's to understand the prom and the prophecies.
It drives me crazy to see people on social media
saying that what's in the Old Testament isn't important to us,
We only need what's in the New Testament. I am
(25:15):
so tired of people who have nothing to say saying
so much of it. Isaiah chapter two, verse four. He
shall judge between the nations and rebuke many people. They
shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks. Nations shall not lift up sword against nation,
(25:39):
neither shall they learn war anymore. And I thought about
this today, and they said, well, military industrial complex is
not going to like that. Deep State's not going to
like that. All these people that profit for more I
satan in the Kingdom of Darkness, and those that are
affiliated with them like that. But God doesn't care what
(26:02):
they like. Isaiah says in chapter eleven, verses six to ten.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the
leopards shall lie down with the young goat. The calf,
and the young lion and the fatling together, and a
little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear
shall graze, the young ones shall lie down together, and
(26:26):
the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing
child shall play by the cobra's hole, and the winged
child shall put his hand in the viper's den. They
shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of
the Lord, and as the waters cover the sea. And
in that day there shall be a root of Jesse,
(26:49):
who shall stand as a banner to the people, for
the gentiles shall seek him, and his resting place shall
be glorious. That's the Messianic age, a time of extraordinary events, peace,
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, no more death, no
(27:15):
more violence, no more predator behavior. Basically, we'll go back
to the garden. Wouldn't that be glorious. It's also in
time of a new covenant. Jeremiah thirty one, verses thirty
one through thirty three tells us, Behold, the days are coming,
(27:39):
says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant
with the House of Israel, with the House of Judah.
Not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day that I took them by the
hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,
my covenant which they broke though I was a husband
to them, says the Lord. But this covenant I will
make with the House of Israel, aft to those days,
(28:01):
says the Lord. I will put my law in their
minds and write it on their hearts. I will be
their God, and they shall be my people. And I
said was going to take a heart transplant, because to
receive his spirit and give it a place to live,
(28:21):
it was going to have to be different. Ezekiel thirty
six twenty six tells us what it would have to
be like. The prophet says, for the Lord, I will
give you a new heart and put a new spirit
within you. I will take the heart of stone out
of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
(28:41):
He's telling him, I'm going to give you a new heart,
put a new spirit in you, taking out your stubborn
heart of stone, cold, unyielding, and give you a tender,
responsive heart. A sign of the Messianic age. Forgiveness, love, compassion,
(29:05):
the fruit of the spirit. You can't live in this
age with bitterness. You can't live in this age with hatred,
none forgiveness in your heart. Sometime in the next week
or two, we're going to talk about forgiveness. We're going
to talk about the things that should have changed in
(29:29):
the Messianic Age. But the Messiah is going to bring
life giving water poured out onto thirsty soil, to the
people on the banks of the streams. How do I
know that, Prophet Isaiah tells me Chapter forty four, verses
one through four. Yet here now, oh Jacob, my servant,
and Israel, whom I have chosen, Thus says the Lord
(29:53):
who made you, informed you from the womb, who will
help you fear not, Oh Jacob, my servant, and you
gesture on whom I've chosen, I will pour water on
him who is thirsty and floods on the dry ground.
I will pour my spirit on your descendants, and my
(30:16):
blessing on your offsprings. They will spring up among the
grass like willows by the water courses. A free flow
of the spirit, a free flow of life, a free
flow of nurishing sustenance. If you've ever seen an animal
(30:38):
that's been rescued, that's dying of thirst or hasn't had
water in a long time, and they pour that water
into its mouth, and you see how much it savors
it and it comes alive. I've even seen poisonous snakes
that are in a drought area, and I'll open up
(31:01):
their water bottle and pour it into the snake's mouth,
and it'll just sit there and receive the water. In
the Messianic age, we shouldn't be spiritually thirsty. We shouldn't
be living in a drought. In John chapter seven, verses
thirty seven through thirty nine, on that last day, the
(31:27):
great day of the feast, we're talking about the feast
of Tappannacles. Yes, she was stood and cried out, saying,
if anyone thirst, let him, come to me and drink
He who believes in me, as the scripture has said,
out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.
But this he spoke concerning the spirit whom those believing
(31:47):
in him would receive. Because the Holy Spirit was not
yet given, because yeshi Wo was not yet glorified from
his inner most being, low continually rivers of living water.
See on each day the feast of the people came
(32:08):
with palm branches, and they marched around the Great Altar,
and a priest took a golden pitcher filled with water
from the pool of Saloam, carried it to the temple
and poured it on the altar as an offering to God.
Very dramatic ceremony. It was a memorial of the water
that flowed from the rock when the Israelites traveled through
(32:30):
the wilderness. This is a different rock our water comes from.
On the last day of the feast, the people would
march seven times around the altar in memory of the
seven circuits around the walls of Jericho. And perhaps it
was not that very moment. As the priest is pouring
(32:52):
the water on the altar, you sue his voice rings
out if anyone thirst, let him come to me and
drink such an amazing visual and a. We did a
summer an event of the Tabernacle and we did this,
(33:13):
We did s cult and we walked around and it
was very moving. Oh, now I understand this better. I'm
more mature spiritually, and it I don't know what the
word is, moves me more now than it did then
(33:33):
in the sense that that was just a foreshadowing. That's
external ritual. We have the real deal, we have the
real water, we have the real rock. Isaiah fifty eight
eleven tells me the Lord will guide you continually and
satisfy your soul and drought and strengthen your bones. You
(33:54):
shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring
of water whose waters do not fail. So they're doing
their ritual and his voice comes out amongst over the crowd.
What he's saying is what you want is over here.
It's not in religious rituals or in your efforts. It's free.
(34:20):
They just didn't understand. They still don't. And what's also
amazing to me and Larry and I were talking about
this today. These people knew that the Messiah would come
from Bedfaim his prophesied in Micah chapter five. However, somehow
(34:43):
they didn't know that Yashua had been born there. They
thought he was from Galilee. They knew the scriptures, but
you know what they didn't know. They didn't take time
to know the Messiah. And I see that over and
over again with my Jewish brothers and sisters. They don't
want to take time to know the Messiah. Because the
(35:08):
Holy Spirit has their open their eyes, has to open
their eyes to let them see. All I can do
is tell them where the water is. I can't make
them drink. In the Messianic age, there is abundant, flowing life,
(35:29):
which is the exact opposite of the Age of Man,
which of course is the age of sin. John chapter,
chapter ten, verse ten. The thief does not come except
to steal and to kill and to destroy the issues
that I have come that they may have life, and
(35:49):
they may have it more abundantly. As I look at
this world, as I see the death and the destruction,
and the sin and the debauchery, and all the things
that make us deserve his judgment, I know that he
(36:11):
has come to give life and to give it abundantly.
And it's my job to let people know that the
Nelson Study Bible says thieves take life, the Shepherd gives
it abundant life includes salvation, spiritual nourishment, healing, and so
(36:32):
much more. And of course we know who the thief is.
The thief is Satan, the fallen, Their demonic goths bring
the kingdom of darkness. They're here to steal, kill and destroy.
What we're here to do through Him is to bring life,
and to bring it more abundantly eternal life, having a
(36:56):
natural life, having a long, prolonged human life. Life is
worthless if your eternal life is with God. And it's
not about an endless quality of life or wealth or
any of those things. It's a spiritual thing. Now you
may get those other things. He may bless you with
(37:18):
those other things for the sake of the kingdom and
those in need, but this is something that only He
can give. The enemy can't give you spiritual life. Religion
can't give you spiritual life. But the life he gives,
a life of peace, a life of wholeness, a life
(37:39):
of family and togetherness. It's a higher quality of life.
And then, of course, when we get to paradise, when
we get to heaven, we're complete, and we're perfect. See
in the Messianic age, we have hope for eternity. We
have the hope of heaven. So though I pray for health,
(38:03):
divine health, though I pray for the blessings for the provisions,
there's no promise of that. There's no promise of an
easily easy worldly living. But I do have the promise
of salvation. I do have the promise of spiritual sustenance
(38:26):
through the Holy Spirit. I trust the Lord. He is
my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie down.
Besides still pastures, and there's still waters in green pastures.
John chapter ten, verses eleven through sixteen. That scripture about
(38:52):
He's Lord was inspired by seeing the scripture. In John
ten eleven, I am the good Shepherd. All of a
sudden my mouth wanted to say, he is my shepherd.
I shall not want. With everything going on in life
(39:13):
right now, with all the debts, and with all the expenses,
and with all the attacks and everything that's happening, it's
really easy to forget that he is our shepherd. We
shall not want. John ten, starting verse eleven, I am
(39:34):
the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for
the sheep, but a hireling who is not the shepherd,
one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf
coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf
catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because
(39:55):
he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep,
and I am known by my own as the Father
knows me. Even so I know the Father, and I
laid down my life for the sheep. And other sheep
I have which are not of this fold. Them also
(40:17):
I must bring, and they will hear my voice, and
there will be one flock and one shepherd. He's doing
it again, other sheep, the gentiles. His church would unite
Jew and Gentile. I'm seeing things to day. I'm seeing
(40:37):
a rise in a specific denomination within the Church which
is very antisemitic. And those famous people and podcasters and
whoever they are of that belief structure are against Israel.
They're against all these things that you and I talk
(41:00):
about here about the Jews, about the Messiah. They don't
seem to understand. The Church did not replace Israel. It
got grafted into the vine of Israel, and even in Romans,
Paul addresses that that we should not exalt her. You
(41:21):
shouldn't exalt yourself over the vine. He makes it clear
that is the Jew into Gentile Romans one sixteen. I
am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it's the power
of God for salvation, salvation from his wrath and punishment
(41:42):
to everyone who believes in Messiah, to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek or the gentile who does
to go to first the Jew. But the other thing
about Jew and Gentile is Pharisees and took your shoe
to puncture his pilot. They took him to a Roman.
(42:04):
They took him to a gentile to be crucified. Pilot
could have said, nah, he did. He said, this man
has done nothing wrong, Just scourge him and turn him free.
But he didn't. He made himself. He made the Gentiles
a part of the crucifixion. So who crucified Jesus Jew
and gentile? So we need to stop with all this
(42:27):
anti Semitic nonsense. The Drimros Carl Dreess, stop, shut up,
sit down, you don't know what you're talking about. It's
actually the Romans who did it. But they did it
together in partnership. Messiane Gage would unite the two jew
and Gentile into one body through the infilling of the
(42:51):
Holy Spirit, which would hold it all together. It would
be the Sap that would flow through the vine. It
would be the Sap that would bring the fruit from
that vine. And I had some interesting thoughts, and I've
shared some of them with Larry, and I really haven't
done the research I need to on this, and I will.
How we had the churches in Asia Minor, we had
(43:13):
the church in Jerusalem, and then we had the church
in Rome, and then somewhere between the First Council of
Nicia and the Second Council of Nicia, all the churches
in Asia Minor disappear. We know the Church in Jerusalem
had to run when the Romans destroyed the city. Where'd
they go? What happened to all the Messianic Jews? What
(43:35):
happened to all the congregations that were a mix of
jew and Gentile? How did we get to one faction
within the church taking complete control? What happened to all
those writings? What happened to all those leaders? What happened
to all those believers? Something happened there the Lord allowed it.
(43:56):
But where's the writings the Messianic age. We're in it
right now through the flow of the Holy Spirit. And
that's what the day of Pentecost, which we're coming up
on soon, will be about. In Joe chapter two, verses
(44:18):
twenty eight and twenty nine, it says it shall come
about after this that I shall pour out my spirit
on all mankind, on all flesh, on everyone. On your
sons and your daughters will prophesy, Your old men will
dream dreams, your young men will see visions. On every
male and female servants, even on them, I will pour
(44:40):
out my spirit in those days. Well, we know that
on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter two, verses
fourteen through eighteen, that's exactly what Peter quotes. And Peter,
standing up at the eleven, raised his voice and said
to them, men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem,
(45:03):
remember it's packed with all the people coming there for
Passover and for all the festivals and the harvests. And
it's just filled with people and pilgrims and accolytes. And
let this be known to you, and heed my words,
for these are not drunk as you suppose, Since it's
only the third hour a day. These people aren't drunk.
(45:25):
It's nine am. But this is what was spoken about
by the prophet Joel. Why is it man is so
quick to reject the manifestation of the spirit. Why is
it man is so quick to criticize it and attack it?
(45:47):
Not just the Jews, we have it in the church too.
I've shared this with you, But there's some big name people,
some of them have gone on by now. Who would
consider me a heretic, would consider me demonically possessed? What
can consider me not of the church because of the
things I do? But this is what the Prophegoel was
(46:10):
talking about. Peter said, declaring, I believe that the day
of Pentecost is the point of after this. It shall
come after this, after what, after the death of the Messiah,
the resurrection of the Messiah, and the outpouring of the
Holy Spirit. Now we have entered the fullness of the
(46:34):
Messianic age. It began on that day in Nazareth when
he read from Isaiah. But now we're full fledged, We're
fully funded, we're fully gasolined up, we're rocking and rolling.
It's time to go. Time to do all these things.
(46:56):
Time to set the captives free. Time to lay hands
on the sixth so that they recover. Time to tell
the people that God loves you just the way you are,
but he loves you too much to stay that way.
He's going to heal you. He's going to take that
out of you. He's going to give you restoration. He's
going to give you rescue Isaiah fifty nine to twenty one.
(47:23):
As for me, this is my covenant with them, says
the Lord. My spirit which is upon you, writing the
law of God in my heart. My words which I
put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth,
nor from the mouth of your true spiritual children, nor
from the mouth of your children's children, says the Lord.
From now and forever, the Spirit brings life. The spirit
(47:46):
brings the word you. She has said. If you don't
know what to say, don't worry. The Spirit will tell
you in that day. Why would the enemy fight so
hard for the free flow of the gifts of the spirit,
Beside the fact that's a threat to their power. He
can't handle a fully empowered church. He can't the hard
(48:08):
he tried to store the Book of Acts church. The
bigger they grew, and the more they shook the world. No,
he has to unplug it. He has to get them
to unplug it. He has to get them to sit down.
But as long as we're plugged in, as long as
we're free flowing in the spirit, as long as the
water is going, as long as we're offering people drink,
(48:32):
as long as we're setting the captives free, he can't
stop that. The Old Testament writers knew this. They were
looking forward to this time. They were looking forward to
God's intervention in human history to establish his kingdom under
the Messiah. Don't tell me we need to ignore the
(48:53):
Old Testament. Daniel in Chapter seven, verses thirteen and fourteen,
actually quoting from the Book of Enoch. And this is
what he says. And I was watching in the night visions,
and behold one like the son of man coming with
the clouds of heaven. He came to the Ancient of days,
(49:14):
and they brought him near before him, son of man
Ya shure, Ancient of days, God, where do we hear that?
He would have heard it for the first time from Enoch?
And then to him was given dominion and glory in
a kingdom. Then all the people's nations and languages should
serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall
(49:37):
not pass away in his kingdom, the one which shall
not be destroyed. Satan can't have that. The kingdom of
darkness can't have that. The Antichrist who serves the kingdom
of darkness can't have that. Well, we don't care what
he can have. We're going to do it anyway. That's
what this was all about. That's what the Cross was
(49:59):
all That's what the empty tomb was all about. That's
what the upper Room was all about. Dominion and glory
and a kingdom, a neverlasting dominion, a neverlasting kingdom, and
all creation groans for that, for the return of the
(50:24):
harmony of the creation that had had at the beginning,
where they were of one note and one vibration, if
you will, with the Lord. They were in harmony with him.
Everything was as one. There was life, there was no death.
Driving to the store this morning, I had to return
(50:47):
something and go in the back way to our neighborhood walmart.
As I'm driving up this road, I see you brown
and white furry thing laying on the side of the road.
And it was either a poppy or a cat or something,
(51:11):
and besides the fact that grieve me because I love
animals so much. I cried out, Lord, we have been
such bad stewards of your creation. And of course my
brain goes to what they do with the babies and
the womb and everything. The enemy has convinced man is
that it's okay to do. We have been such bad
(51:35):
stewards of his creation. But there will come a time
well that will end all creation. Groans for that time,
Isaiah tells us about it Isaiah sixty five, starting verse seventeen.
(51:56):
For behold, they create new heavens and a new earth.
And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.
For behold, I create Jerusalem as of rejoicing, and her
people a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem and joy
(52:16):
in my people. The voice of weeping shall no longer
be heard in her, nor the voice of crying. No more.
Shall an infant from their live but a few days,
nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days.
For the child shall die one hundred years old, but
(52:38):
the sinner, being one hundred years old, shall be accursed.
They shall build houses and inhabit them, they shall plant
vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build in
another inhabit. They shall not plant and another eat. For
as in the days of a tree shaw shall so
shall be the days of my people, and my elect
(53:00):
shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall
not labor in vain, nor bring forth children for trouble.
For they shall be the descendants of the blessed of
the Lord, and their offspring with them. And it shall
come to pass that before they call, I will answer,
(53:21):
And while they're still speaking, I will hear. And the
wolf and the lamb shall feed together. The lion shall
eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the
serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all
my holy mountain, says the Lord. What a glorious day
(53:43):
that will be. And something inside of us yearns for that.
That's what Paul's referring to. In Romans chapter eight, verses
twenty two and twenty three, he's referring back to Isaiah.
He's referring back to the price in Isaiah sixty five.
(54:03):
In romansday twenty two and twenty three, he said, for
we know that the whole creation groans and labors with
birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we
also have the first fruits of the spirit. We also
who have the first fruits of the spirit, even we
(54:25):
ourselves grown within ourselves eagerly waiting for the adoption the
redemption of our body. That's the Messianic age. It's characterized
by righteousness and justice and peace. There's none of those
things in this world right now. The Messianic Age is
(54:49):
characterized by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, by the
restoration and renewal of God's people and of creation. So
in the New Testament, the idea appears in the developed
form of this as the Kingdom of God, which we've
talked a lot about over the years, which began it
(55:09):
was inaugurated by the first coming of Yeshuah and will
be consummated at his return or to glorious day that
will be. And sadly, my Jewish brothers and sisters are
waiting for the Messiah, while we who know him, we
(55:32):
know who he is. This she had declared who he was.
He defined his ministry here, and it became the ongoing
essence of the good News of the Gospel of the
Kingdom of God. Which we have been called to preach.
(55:55):
It's not that complicated. The Messianic age of the Kingdom
of God began at his first coming and will be
consummated at his return. Remember when he closed the book
in the middle of the sentence, in the middle of
Isaiah sixty one, verse two, he didn't continue because the
(56:20):
next phrase was about the day of vengeance of our God.
It will be fulfilled. That day is coming. It'll be
fulfilled in the future. I know that because of Revelation eleven,
starting verse fifteen tells me that then the seventh Angel
(56:42):
sounded and there were loud voices in heavens saying, the
kingdom of this world, the kingdom's plural of this world
have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Messiah,
and he shall reign forever endev And the twenty four
(57:03):
elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on
their faces and worshiped God, saying, we give you thanks, O,
Lord God Almighty, the one who is the one who
was and who was to come. Because you have taken
your great power and reigned, the nations were angry, and
your wrath has come, and the time of the dead
(57:25):
and that they shall be judged, and that you should
reward your servants, the prophets and the saints, those who
fear your name, small and great, and should destroy those
who destroy the earth. You hear that, hear that satan,
You hear that fallen, You hear that demonic offspring. You
(57:48):
hear that all who served them and destroy and kill
and maim, and live for war and death, and destroy
the earth. He's going to destroy you. That day is coming.
But right now, for now, we live in the free
(58:09):
flow of the Messianic age. We live in a time
redeemed from sin and death. We live in a time
where we are reconciled to God, our Father, the time
of liberty. Freedom, bondages are broken. People have been rescued
(58:34):
from the darkness. We live in a time. We are
free to praise and to worship our our Father in
spirit and in truth. Don't let anybody steal that from you.
Don't let religion steal that from you. Don't let ritual
steal that from you. Don't let man made traditions steal
(58:56):
that from you. You worship Him in spirit and truth.
You are free. The prison doors are open. Chains have
been broken. You have free access to God. You don't
need to go through anybody but Yashua. He's the mediator
between God and man. No man comes to the Father
(59:17):
but through me, he said, not through anyone else. He
didn't at anybody else in that declaration. And though your
body may die, your spirit lives on eternally with him.
You're free, as Martin Luther King said in that speech,
free at last, Free at last, Thank God Almighty. I'm
(59:38):
free at last. And they've applied it to all the
wrong things. They applied it to the color of his skin,
they applied it to all these other things. But Martin
Luther King knew what it really meant. His soul, his spirit,
man was free at last because he was living in
the Messianic age. The king of kings, Lord Lord, sitting
(01:00:00):
on the throne, Lord Abbah. We just call your name.
We worship you, worthy, worthy, Worthy, Worthy is the land
that was slain, the one who is, the one who was,
(01:00:21):
the one who is to come. There's none like you.
We want to live in the shadow of your wings.
We want to live in your kingdom. We want to
live in your protection. We want to live in your
wholeness and your peace and your healing. And your power.
(01:00:43):
We want that free flow of the water. Lord, we
want to drink. Let us drink right now. Let us
be filled, Let us be all the parchness and the
dryness and all the let it all be gone, and
let everything that's not of you leave be gone. In
the name of Your fill us, fill us, the overflowing,
(01:01:07):
empower us, set us free. Let us go do this,
shake the world one last time before the return of
the King. If you agree, if that's what you want,
that's what you believe, say amen. May the Lord bless
you and keep you. May the Lord make his face
(01:01:27):
shine upon you, be graced to you. May the Lord
may I or and I you sure how much sah
teesus the Messiah lift up his countenance upon you and
give you peace. Give you shall o. I'm Richard Grunn.

We love you, Abah Papa Daddy. You are everything to us.
We love you so much. We thank you. Thank you
for our lives. Thank you for what you've done. Thank

Let it go forth in power and love, in truth,

Open it up to Luke chapter four. We're going to
start with verse sixteen. So he, he being issuer, came
to Nazareth we had been brought up. And as his
custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath
(05:32):
day and stood up to read. And he was handed
the book of the Prophet Isaiah. And when he had
opened the book, he found the place where it was written.
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to
proclaim liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind,
(05:57):
to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim
the acceptable year of the Lord. Now they knew the scripture.
It was Prophet Isaiah. And I always find it interesting
he didn't ask for the scroll of Isaiah. They handed
it to him. That's how God does things. The spirit
(06:18):
of the Lord is upon me, he says, I am
the Messiah. Is basically what he's saying, because he has
anointed me to preach the good news to the poor.
He has sent me to announce release, pardon, forgiveness to
the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, to pre
(06:39):
to free those who are oppressed, who are downtrodden, a
bruised crushed by tragedy, to proclaim the favorable year of
the Lord, the day when salvation and the favor of
God abound greatly. He's quoting from Isaiah sixty one, verses
one and two, which is the prophetic word about salvation
(07:04):
is coming to the Jews through the Messiah. And of
course he's saying it exactly, but he leaves one section out.
The spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord
has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor. Yep,
he said that he has sent me to heal the
broken hearted. Yep said that to proclaim liberty to the
(07:26):
captives m h. And the opening of the prison to
those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of
the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God
to comfort all whom warned. You didn't say anything about
the vengeance of our God. No, he didn't, because that
was in the future. What he was reading from was
(07:50):
for that moment. He was announcing that he was a
royal figure and he had a prophetic mission. That mission
was to heal the broken hearted, those who were discouraged
because of their plight in life. Boy, is that easy
to happen? He was proclaiming liberty to the captives, captives
(08:13):
to Sin, captive, to the fallen, captives to Hacitan and
the kingdom of Darkness. And this captivity is really referring
Isaiah to the captivity in Babylon, but Yasue was referring
to sin when the image addresses both physical and spiritual realities.
(08:34):
He proclaimed the acceptable Year of the Lord, an allusion
to Jubilee, every fiftieth year in which all the deaths
were forgiven, slaves were given their freedom, and ancestral lands
were given back to their original families. The year of
Jubilee allowed for a new starts out of Leviticus twenty
(08:56):
five to ten. And you shall consequent e the fiftieth
year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land, to all
its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and
each of you shall return to his possessions, and each
of you shall return to his family. It's describing Israel's
(09:18):
deliverance from exile and Babylon, but ultimately it's the fulfillment
of the awaited coming of the Messianic age. She is
offering total cancelation of spiritual debt and a new beginning
to those who respond to his message. The interesting thing
(09:45):
about that is he's not just paying off your debts.
And you don't have to claim it. No, you have
to claim it. You have to respond to the message
and the spirit. The Rotkkradish is upon him. Got baptized
by cousin John, and Jordan goes into the wilderness and
(10:07):
gets tempted. And he's standing there fully empowered to begin
his mission because he has anointed me to preach the
gospel to the poor, sent to heal the broken hearted,
proclaim liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind,
(10:30):
and to set at liberty those who are oppressed. The
signs of the Messiah. The lame walk, blind, see the deaf,
hear the dead, or raised. It's a twofold ministry. He's
anointed to preach. Was he preaching anything now? Is he
preaching his opinion? Now? He's preaching a very specific message
(10:53):
of good news to those who are poor, that are
destitute and needy, not just physical, not financially, but spiritually.
He's offering deliverances, deliverance to those captive to sin, to sickness,
and to death. Acts ten thirty eight. How God anointed
(11:15):
Yeshiah of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power
with Dunamus, who went about doing good and healing all
who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with
him Hebrews Chapter two, verses fourteen and fifteen. Inasmuch then
as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he
(11:36):
capitaliged himself likewise shared in the same that through death
he might destroy him who had the power over death,
that is the devil, and released those who, through fear
of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Hallelujah, acceptable,
(12:00):
your Lord, you believe explained it to you. If you
want to read the full thing. Luke Leviticus twenty five,
verses eight through thirteen. But it's atonement it's everything's been
stolen from you and taken from you is given back.
You're fully embraced. You can go home. You've been restored,
(12:26):
and in this case you have full dominion over Satan,
and you are a member of the family of God.
He's speaking, of course, to the Jews, but we're going
to find out he's not only speaking to them. He's
been anointed to heal. You can't have you, Suah. You
(12:49):
can't have the Gospel without healing to those broken in heart, mind, soul,
and body, those that are blind spiritually, physically and spiritually
living in darkness. Healing and light and escape from darkness.
(13:12):
It's the basics of who he is. And they knew.
They knew. They weren't confused about this. They knew what
the Messiah would do. When John the Baptist, his father
Zacharias prophesies over him in the Woman in Luke chapter one,
verses seventy six through seventy nine. He says, and you
(13:37):
child will be called the Prophet of the Highest, for
you will go before the face of the Lord to
prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people.
And he's not in the womb. He's out of the woman.
They've shown it to him and say, hey, here's a kid,
and he suddenly can speak again, and they start arguing
about what his name's going to be. You can go
(13:57):
back and read it. You will be called the Prophet
of the Highest, for you will go before the face
of the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge
of a salvation to his people by the remission of
their sins through the tender mercy of our God, with
which the day spring capital d from on high has
(14:20):
visited us, to give light to those who sit in
darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our
feet into the way of peace. So they knew they
knew what the Messianic age would represent, or did they
(14:43):
now we know? When Jesus heard that John had been
put in prison, he departed to Galilee. I'm in Matthew four,
studying verse twelve, and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt
in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions
of Zebulen and Naphtali, And that it might be fulfilled
which was broke spoken by the prophet Isaiah, saying the
(15:07):
land of Zebulon and the land of Neptali by the
way of the sea beyond the Jordan Galilee of the Gentiles.
The people who sit in darkness have seen a great light,
and upon those who sat in the region and the
shadow of death, light has dawned. And from that point
on you sure began to preach and say repent, for
(15:30):
the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. So they're not
confused about who the Messiah is. They're not confused about
what he's there to do. But there's certain things that
we're going to see in the Slut chapter four that
either they didn't know it or they didn't want to
(15:53):
know it. But this is the key to who he is.
This is the key to who we are. Colossians one,
starting verse nine. For the reason we also since the
day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you,
and to ask that you be filled with the knowledge
(16:17):
of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that
you walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being
fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge
of God, strengthened with all might according to His glorious power,
for all patience and long suffering with joy, giving thanks
(16:39):
to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He
has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed
us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love,
and whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness
of sins. You have been redeemed. You've been taken translated,
(17:03):
snatched out of the powers of darkness, the kingdom of darkness,
and translated into conveyed into the Kingdom of Light, to
the Kingdom of the Sun. The bruise and the completely
(17:23):
crushed and shattered in life, the oppressed and the broke,
and they all came to him. They all knew, they
all knew what they needed, and they knew he had it.
In Luke thirteen, verses ten through seventeen, we see I'm
teaching in the synagogues on the Sabbath, and there's a
(17:44):
woman who has the spirit of infirmity. She's had it
for eighteen years, and she's bent over and could not
raise herself up. And when she saw her, he called
her to him and said, woman, you are loosed from
your infirmity. And he laid his hands on her, and
immediately she was straight and glorified God. But the ruler
(18:07):
of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus healed on
the Sabbath. And he said to the crowd, there are
six days in which men ought to work. Therefore, come
and be healed on them, not on the Sabbath day.
And the Lord answered him and said, hypocrite, do not
each one of you, on the Sabbath loose his ox
(18:29):
or donkey from the stall and lead it to a
way to water. It so ought not this woman, being
a daughter of Abraham, whose satan has bound, think of
it for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on
the Sabbath. And when he said these things, all his
adversaries were put to shame, and all the multitudes rejoiced
(18:53):
for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Right there, you know what he's showing. He's showing he's
not there for religion. He's not there for man's traditions.
He's not there for what they think or what their
opinions are. He's there to set the captives free. He's
(19:14):
there to heal the crush, the shattered, the oppressed, the broken.
And then he closes the book in the middle of
the sentence as I pointed out. And he doesn't continue,
because that phrase the day of the vengeance of our
God was not being fulfilled then, but it would be.
(19:36):
Picking up in verse twenty, and he closed the book
and gave it back to the attendant and sat down.
And the eyes of all who were in synagogue were
fixed on him, and he began to say to them, today,
the scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. Think about that.
(19:57):
He sat down like a king sits down, and he
makes a declaration to day, this scripture is fulfilled in
your hearing. So all bore witness to him and were
marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth.
And they said, is this not Joseph's son? And he
(20:20):
said to them, you will surely say this proverb to me, physician,
heal thyself. Whatever we have done heard done in compernaum,
do also hear in your country. And then he said, assuredly,
I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his
own country. But I tell you truly, many widows were
(20:42):
in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven
was shut up for three years and six months, and
there was a great famine throughout all the land, but
to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zaraphath
in the region of Sa'dan, to woman who was a
widow since first King seventeen and eighteen. By the way,
(21:05):
she's not a Jew. And many lepers were in Israel
in the time of Elisha the prophet, none of them
were a cleansed except Naman, the Syrian Tewod kings chapter five.
By the way, he's not a Jew. But they got
his message. So all those in the synagogue, when they
(21:28):
heard these things, they were filled with wrath and rose
up and thrust him out of the city. And when
they led him to the brow of the hill in
which the city was built, that they might throw him
down the cliff. Then, passing through the midst of them,
he went his way. He passed through the crowd, supernaturally,
(21:48):
walks right through, revealing his sovereign majesty. It wasn't his
time to die, but it was foreshadowing what was to come.
So this sermon in Nazareth previewed his whole public ministry.
He returned to his hometown, to the synagogue, returned to
(22:11):
his roots, began his mission from there, and he announced
the good news Salvation has arrived, and they were pleased
about it. Don't get them wrong. They were good with
it until he reminded them that God reaches out to
(22:33):
the Gentiles as well as to the Jews. People in
the synagogue were furious because he was pointing out the
favor that God had shown to the Gentiles. The Jews
viewed themselves as the sole recipients of God's favor, and
they were oppressed by their gentile overlords. And this infuriated them,
(22:57):
and they wanted to kill him. Nothing's different today. It's
still the same today. This scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.
You are present at the beginning of the new age
(23:17):
of Salvation. You're here on the day that these things
have been declared. Jubilee is coming, Debts will be erased,
slaves freed, ancestral lands returned. They were good with all
that until he said, and the Gentiles get it too. Now.
(23:42):
The Abrahamic religions, which we know as Christian, jew and Muslim,
they believe in the Messianic Age. They believe in a
future eternal period on earth during which the Messiah will
reign and he will bring universal peace and brotherhood free
(24:05):
from all evil. Of course, they each believe it differently
to refer to it as the Kingdom of God or
the world to come, and it was prophesied about over
and over and over and over. Now why am I
belaboring this point? You should know me by now. If
(24:31):
I do that, it's important and you need to get it,
because to do what we have been called to do
in these final days and the final tics of the clock,
it's going to take understanding. It's going to take having
this word inside of you. It's going to take understanding
what the mission is. To never forget why you're doing
(24:53):
what you're doing. It's to understand the prom and the prophecies.
It drives me crazy to see people on social media
saying that what's in the Old Testament isn't important to us,
We only need what's in the New Testament. I am
(25:15):
so tired of people who have nothing to say saying
so much of it. Isaiah chapter two, verse four. He
shall judge between the nations and rebuke many people. They
shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks. Nations shall not lift up sword against nation,
(25:39):
neither shall they learn war anymore. And I thought about
this today, and they said, well, military industrial complex is
not going to like that. Deep State's not going to
like that. All these people that profit for more I
satan in the Kingdom of Darkness, and those that are
affiliated with them like that. But God doesn't care what
(26:02):
they like. Isaiah says in chapter eleven, verses six to ten.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the
leopards shall lie down with the young goat. The calf,
and the young lion and the fatling together, and a
little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear
shall graze, the young ones shall lie down together, and
(26:26):
the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing
child shall play by the cobra's hole, and the winged
child shall put his hand in the viper's den. They
shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of
the Lord, and as the waters cover the sea. And
in that day there shall be a root of Jesse,
(26:49):
who shall stand as a banner to the people, for
the gentiles shall seek him, and his resting place shall
be glorious. That's the Messianic age, a time of extraordinary events, peace,
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, no more death, no
(27:15):
more violence, no more predator behavior. Basically, we'll go back
to the garden. Wouldn't that be glorious. It's also in
time of a new covenant. Jeremiah thirty one, verses thirty
one through thirty three tells us, Behold, the days are coming,
(27:39):
says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant
with the House of Israel, with the House of Judah.
Not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day that I took them by the
hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt,
my covenant which they broke though I was a husband
to them, says the Lord. But this covenant I will
make with the House of Israel, aft to those days,
(28:01):
says the Lord. I will put my law in their
minds and write it on their hearts. I will be
their God, and they shall be my people. And I
said was going to take a heart transplant, because to
receive his spirit and give it a place to live,
(28:21):
it was going to have to be different. Ezekiel thirty
six twenty six tells us what it would have to
be like. The prophet says, for the Lord, I will
give you a new heart and put a new spirit
within you. I will take the heart of stone out
of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
(28:41):
He's telling him, I'm going to give you a new heart,
put a new spirit in you, taking out your stubborn
heart of stone, cold, unyielding, and give you a tender,
responsive heart. A sign of the Messianic age. Forgiveness, love, compassion,
(29:05):
the fruit of the spirit. You can't live in this
age with bitterness. You can't live in this age with hatred,
none forgiveness in your heart. Sometime in the next week
or two, we're going to talk about forgiveness. We're going
to talk about the things that should have changed in
(29:29):
the Messianic Age. But the Messiah is going to bring
life giving water poured out onto thirsty soil, to the
people on the banks of the streams. How do I
know that, Prophet Isaiah tells me Chapter forty four, verses
one through four. Yet here now, oh Jacob, my servant,
and Israel, whom I have chosen, Thus says the Lord
(29:53):
who made you, informed you from the womb, who will
help you fear not, Oh Jacob, my servant, and you
gesture on whom I've chosen, I will pour water on
him who is thirsty and floods on the dry ground.
I will pour my spirit on your descendants, and my
(30:16):
blessing on your offsprings. They will spring up among the
grass like willows by the water courses. A free flow
of the spirit, a free flow of life, a free
flow of nurishing sustenance. If you've ever seen an animal
(30:38):
that's been rescued, that's dying of thirst or hasn't had
water in a long time, and they pour that water
into its mouth, and you see how much it savors
it and it comes alive. I've even seen poisonous snakes
that are in a drought area, and I'll open up
(31:01):
their water bottle and pour it into the snake's mouth,
and it'll just sit there and receive the water. In
the Messianic age, we shouldn't be spiritually thirsty. We shouldn't
be living in a drought. In John chapter seven, verses
thirty seven through thirty nine, on that last day, the
(31:27):
great day of the feast, we're talking about the feast
of Tappannacles. Yes, she was stood and cried out, saying,
if anyone thirst, let him, come to me and drink
He who believes in me, as the scripture has said,
out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.
But this he spoke concerning the spirit whom those believing
(31:47):
in him would receive. Because the Holy Spirit was not
yet given, because yeshi Wo was not yet glorified from
his inner most being, low continually rivers of living water.
See on each day the feast of the people came
(32:08):
with palm branches, and they marched around the Great Altar,
and a priest took a golden pitcher filled with water
from the pool of Saloam, carried it to the temple
and poured it on the altar as an offering to God.
Very dramatic ceremony. It was a memorial of the water
that flowed from the rock when the Israelites traveled through
(32:30):
the wilderness. This is a different rock our water comes from.
On the last day of the feast, the people would
march seven times around the altar in memory of the
seven circuits around the walls of Jericho. And perhaps it
was not that very moment. As the priest is pouring
(32:52):
the water on the altar, you sue his voice rings
out if anyone thirst, let him come to me and
drink such an amazing visual and a. We did a
summer an event of the Tabernacle and we did this,
(33:13):
We did s cult and we walked around and it
was very moving. Oh, now I understand this better. I'm
more mature spiritually, and it I don't know what the
word is, moves me more now than it did then
(33:33):
in the sense that that was just a foreshadowing. That's
external ritual. We have the real deal, we have the
real water, we have the real rock. Isaiah fifty eight
eleven tells me the Lord will guide you continually and
satisfy your soul and drought and strengthen your bones. You
(33:54):
shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring
of water whose waters do not fail. So they're doing
their ritual and his voice comes out amongst over the crowd.
What he's saying is what you want is over here.
It's not in religious rituals or in your efforts. It's free.
(34:20):
They just didn't understand. They still don't. And what's also
amazing to me and Larry and I were talking about
this today. These people knew that the Messiah would come
from Bedfaim his prophesied in Micah chapter five. However, somehow
(34:43):
they didn't know that Yashua had been born there. They
thought he was from Galilee. They knew the scriptures, but
you know what they didn't know. They didn't take time
to know the Messiah. And I see that over and
over again with my Jewish brothers and sisters. They don't
want to take time to know the Messiah. Because the
(35:08):
Holy Spirit has their open their eyes, has to open
their eyes to let them see. All I can do
is tell them where the water is. I can't make
them drink. In the Messianic age, there is abundant, flowing life,
(35:29):
which is the exact opposite of the Age of Man,
which of course is the age of sin. John chapter,
chapter ten, verse ten. The thief does not come except
to steal and to kill and to destroy the issues
that I have come that they may have life, and
(35:49):
they may have it more abundantly. As I look at
this world, as I see the death and the destruction,
and the sin and the debauchery, and all the things
that make us deserve his judgment, I know that he
(36:11):
has come to give life and to give it abundantly.
And it's my job to let people know that the
Nelson Study Bible says thieves take life, the Shepherd gives
it abundant life includes salvation, spiritual nourishment, healing, and so
(36:32):
much more. And of course we know who the thief is.
The thief is Satan, the fallen, Their demonic goths bring
the kingdom of darkness. They're here to steal, kill and destroy.
What we're here to do through Him is to bring life,
and to bring it more abundantly eternal life, having a
(36:56):
natural life, having a long, prolonged human life. Life is
worthless if your eternal life is with God. And it's
not about an endless quality of life or wealth or
any of those things. It's a spiritual thing. Now you
may get those other things. He may bless you with
(37:18):
those other things for the sake of the kingdom and
those in need, but this is something that only He
can give. The enemy can't give you spiritual life. Religion
can't give you spiritual life. But the life he gives,
a life of peace, a life of wholeness, a life
(37:39):
of family and togetherness. It's a higher quality of life.
And then, of course, when we get to paradise, when
we get to heaven, we're complete, and we're perfect. See
in the Messianic age, we have hope for eternity. We
have the hope of heaven. So though I pray for health,
(38:03):
divine health, though I pray for the blessings for the provisions,
there's no promise of that. There's no promise of an
easily easy worldly living. But I do have the promise
of salvation. I do have the promise of spiritual sustenance
(38:26):
through the Holy Spirit. I trust the Lord. He is
my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie down.
Besides still pastures, and there's still waters in green pastures.
John chapter ten, verses eleven through sixteen. That scripture about
(38:52):
He's Lord was inspired by seeing the scripture. In John
ten eleven, I am the good Shepherd. All of a
sudden my mouth wanted to say, he is my shepherd.
I shall not want. With everything going on in life
(39:13):
right now, with all the debts, and with all the expenses,
and with all the attacks and everything that's happening, it's
really easy to forget that he is our shepherd. We
shall not want. John ten, starting verse eleven, I am
(39:34):
the good Shepherd. The good Shepherd gives his life for
the sheep, but a hireling who is not the shepherd,
one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf
coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf
catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because
(39:55):
he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep,
and I am known by my own as the Father
knows me. Even so I know the Father, and I
laid down my life for the sheep. And other sheep
I have which are not of this fold. Them also
(40:17):
I must bring, and they will hear my voice, and
there will be one flock and one shepherd. He's doing
it again, other sheep, the gentiles. His church would unite
Jew and Gentile. I'm seeing things to day. I'm seeing
(40:37):
a rise in a specific denomination within the Church which
is very antisemitic. And those famous people and podcasters and
whoever they are of that belief structure are against Israel.
They're against all these things that you and I talk
(41:00):
about here about the Jews, about the Messiah. They don't
seem to understand. The Church did not replace Israel. It
got grafted into the vine of Israel, and even in Romans,
Paul addresses that that we should not exalt her. You
(41:21):
shouldn't exalt yourself over the vine. He makes it clear
that is the Jew into Gentile Romans one sixteen. I
am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it's the power
of God for salvation, salvation from his wrath and punishment
(41:42):
to everyone who believes in Messiah, to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek or the gentile who does
to go to first the Jew. But the other thing
about Jew and Gentile is Pharisees and took your shoe
to puncture his pilot. They took him to a Roman.
(42:04):
They took him to a gentile to be crucified. Pilot
could have said, nah, he did. He said, this man
has done nothing wrong, Just scourge him and turn him free.
But he didn't. He made himself. He made the Gentiles
a part of the crucifixion. So who crucified Jesus Jew
and gentile? So we need to stop with all this
(42:27):
anti Semitic nonsense. The Drimros Carl Dreess, stop, shut up,
sit down, you don't know what you're talking about. It's
actually the Romans who did it. But they did it
together in partnership. Messiane Gage would unite the two jew
and Gentile into one body through the infilling of the
(42:51):
Holy Spirit, which would hold it all together. It would
be the Sap that would flow through the vine. It
would be the Sap that would bring the fruit from
that vine. And I had some interesting thoughts, and I've
shared some of them with Larry, and I really haven't
done the research I need to on this, and I will.
How we had the churches in Asia Minor, we had
(43:13):
the church in Jerusalem, and then we had the church
in Rome, and then somewhere between the First Council of
Nicia and the Second Council of Nicia, all the churches
in Asia Minor disappear. We know the Church in Jerusalem
had to run when the Romans destroyed the city. Where'd
they go? What happened to all the Messianic Jews? What
(43:35):
happened to all the congregations that were a mix of
jew and Gentile? How did we get to one faction
within the church taking complete control? What happened to all
those writings? What happened to all those leaders? What happened
to all those believers? Something happened there the Lord allowed it.
(43:56):
But where's the writings the Messianic age. We're in it
right now through the flow of the Holy Spirit. And
that's what the day of Pentecost, which we're coming up
on soon, will be about. In Joe chapter two, verses
(44:18):
twenty eight and twenty nine, it says it shall come
about after this that I shall pour out my spirit
on all mankind, on all flesh, on everyone. On your
sons and your daughters will prophesy, Your old men will
dream dreams, your young men will see visions. On every
male and female servants, even on them, I will pour
(44:40):
out my spirit in those days. Well, we know that
on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter two, verses
fourteen through eighteen, that's exactly what Peter quotes. And Peter,
standing up at the eleven, raised his voice and said
to them, men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem,
(45:03):
remember it's packed with all the people coming there for
Passover and for all the festivals and the harvests. And
it's just filled with people and pilgrims and accolytes. And
let this be known to you, and heed my words,
for these are not drunk as you suppose, Since it's
only the third hour a day. These people aren't drunk.
(45:25):
It's nine am. But this is what was spoken about
by the prophet Joel. Why is it man is so
quick to reject the manifestation of the spirit. Why is
it man is so quick to criticize it and attack it?
(45:47):
Not just the Jews, we have it in the church too.
I've shared this with you, But there's some big name people,
some of them have gone on by now. Who would
consider me a heretic, would consider me demonically possessed? What
can consider me not of the church because of the
things I do? But this is what the Prophegoel was
(46:10):
talking about. Peter said, declaring, I believe that the day
of Pentecost is the point of after this. It shall
come after this, after what, after the death of the Messiah,
the resurrection of the Messiah, and the outpouring of the
Holy Spirit. Now we have entered the fullness of the
(46:34):
Messianic age. It began on that day in Nazareth when
he read from Isaiah. But now we're full fledged, We're
fully funded, we're fully gasolined up, we're rocking and rolling.
It's time to go. Time to do all these things.
(46:56):
Time to set the captives free. Time to lay hands
on the sixth so that they recover. Time to tell
the people that God loves you just the way you are,
but he loves you too much to stay that way.
He's going to heal you. He's going to take that
out of you. He's going to give you restoration. He's
going to give you rescue Isaiah fifty nine to twenty one.
(47:23):
As for me, this is my covenant with them, says
the Lord. My spirit which is upon you, writing the
law of God in my heart. My words which I
put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth,
nor from the mouth of your true spiritual children, nor
from the mouth of your children's children, says the Lord.
From now and forever, the Spirit brings life. The spirit
(47:46):
brings the word you. She has said. If you don't
know what to say, don't worry. The Spirit will tell
you in that day. Why would the enemy fight so
hard for the free flow of the gifts of the spirit,
Beside the fact that's a threat to their power. He
can't handle a fully empowered church. He can't the hard
(48:08):
he tried to store the Book of Acts church. The
bigger they grew, and the more they shook the world. No,
he has to unplug it. He has to get them
to unplug it. He has to get them to sit down.
But as long as we're plugged in, as long as
we're free flowing in the spirit, as long as the
water is going, as long as we're offering people drink,
(48:32):
as long as we're setting the captives free, he can't
stop that. The Old Testament writers knew this. They were
looking forward to this time. They were looking forward to
God's intervention in human history to establish his kingdom under
the Messiah. Don't tell me we need to ignore the
(48:53):
Old Testament. Daniel in Chapter seven, verses thirteen and fourteen,
actually quoting from the Book of Enoch. And this is
what he says. And I was watching in the night visions,
and behold one like the son of man coming with
the clouds of heaven. He came to the Ancient of days,
(49:14):
and they brought him near before him, son of man
Ya shure, Ancient of days, God, where do we hear that?
He would have heard it for the first time from Enoch?
And then to him was given dominion and glory in
a kingdom. Then all the people's nations and languages should
serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall
(49:37):
not pass away in his kingdom, the one which shall
not be destroyed. Satan can't have that. The kingdom of
darkness can't have that. The Antichrist who serves the kingdom
of darkness can't have that. Well, we don't care what
he can have. We're going to do it anyway. That's
what this was all about. That's what the Cross was
(49:59):
all That's what the empty tomb was all about. That's
what the upper Room was all about. Dominion and glory
and a kingdom, a neverlasting dominion, a neverlasting kingdom, and
all creation groans for that, for the return of the
(50:24):
harmony of the creation that had had at the beginning,
where they were of one note and one vibration, if
you will, with the Lord. They were in harmony with him.
Everything was as one. There was life, there was no death.
Driving to the store this morning, I had to return
(50:47):
something and go in the back way to our neighborhood walmart.
As I'm driving up this road, I see you brown
and white furry thing laying on the side of the road.
And it was either a poppy or a cat or something,
(51:11):
and besides the fact that grieve me because I love
animals so much. I cried out, Lord, we have been
such bad stewards of your creation. And of course my
brain goes to what they do with the babies and
the womb and everything. The enemy has convinced man is
that it's okay to do. We have been such bad
(51:35):
stewards of his creation. But there will come a time
well that will end all creation. Groans for that time,
Isaiah tells us about it Isaiah sixty five, starting verse seventeen.
(51:56):
For behold, they create new heavens and a new earth.
And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.
For behold, I create Jerusalem as of rejoicing, and her
people a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem and joy
(52:16):
in my people. The voice of weeping shall no longer
be heard in her, nor the voice of crying. No more.
Shall an infant from their live but a few days,
nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days.
For the child shall die one hundred years old, but
(52:38):
the sinner, being one hundred years old, shall be accursed.
They shall build houses and inhabit them, they shall plant
vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build in
another inhabit. They shall not plant and another eat. For
as in the days of a tree shaw shall so
shall be the days of my people, and my elect
(53:00):
shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall
not labor in vain, nor bring forth children for trouble.
For they shall be the descendants of the blessed of
the Lord, and their offspring with them. And it shall
come to pass that before they call, I will answer,
(53:21):
And while they're still speaking, I will hear. And the
wolf and the lamb shall feed together. The lion shall
eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the
serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all
my holy mountain, says the Lord. What a glorious day
(53:43):
that will be. And something inside of us yearns for that.
That's what Paul's referring to. In Romans chapter eight, verses
twenty two and twenty three, he's referring back to Isaiah.
He's referring back to the price in Isaiah sixty five.
(54:03):
In romansday twenty two and twenty three, he said, for
we know that the whole creation groans and labors with
birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we
also have the first fruits of the spirit. We also
who have the first fruits of the spirit, even we
(54:25):
ourselves grown within ourselves eagerly waiting for the adoption the
redemption of our body. That's the Messianic age. It's characterized
by righteousness and justice and peace. There's none of those
things in this world right now. The Messianic Age is
(54:49):
characterized by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, by the
restoration and renewal of God's people and of creation. So
in the New Testament, the idea appears in the developed
form of this as the Kingdom of God, which we've
talked a lot about over the years, which began it
(55:09):
was inaugurated by the first coming of Yeshuah and will
be consummated at his return or to glorious day that
will be. And sadly, my Jewish brothers and sisters are
waiting for the Messiah, while we who know him, we
(55:32):
know who he is. This she had declared who he was.
He defined his ministry here, and it became the ongoing
essence of the good News of the Gospel of the
Kingdom of God. Which we have been called to preach.
(55:55):
It's not that complicated. The Messianic age of the Kingdom
of God began at his first coming and will be
consummated at his return. Remember when he closed the book
in the middle of the sentence, in the middle of
Isaiah sixty one, verse two, he didn't continue because the
(56:20):
next phrase was about the day of vengeance of our God.
It will be fulfilled. That day is coming. It'll be
fulfilled in the future. I know that because of Revelation eleven,
starting verse fifteen tells me that then the seventh Angel
(56:42):
sounded and there were loud voices in heavens saying, the
kingdom of this world, the kingdom's plural of this world
have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Messiah,
and he shall reign forever endev And the twenty four
(57:03):
elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on
their faces and worshiped God, saying, we give you thanks, O,
Lord God Almighty, the one who is the one who
was and who was to come. Because you have taken
your great power and reigned, the nations were angry, and
your wrath has come, and the time of the dead
(57:25):
and that they shall be judged, and that you should
reward your servants, the prophets and the saints, those who
fear your name, small and great, and should destroy those
who destroy the earth. You hear that, hear that satan,
You hear that fallen, You hear that demonic offspring. You
(57:48):
hear that all who served them and destroy and kill
and maim, and live for war and death, and destroy
the earth. He's going to destroy you. That day is coming.
But right now, for now, we live in the free
(58:09):
flow of the Messianic age. We live in a time
redeemed from sin and death. We live in a time
where we are reconciled to God, our Father, the time
of liberty. Freedom, bondages are broken. People have been rescued
(58:34):
from the darkness. We live in a time. We are
free to praise and to worship our our Father in
spirit and in truth. Don't let anybody steal that from you.
Don't let religion steal that from you. Don't let ritual
steal that from you. Don't let man made traditions steal
(58:56):
that from you. You worship Him in spirit and truth.
You are free. The prison doors are open. Chains have
been broken. You have free access to God. You don't
need to go through anybody but Yashua. He's the mediator
between God and man. No man comes to the Father
(59:17):
but through me, he said, not through anyone else. He
didn't at anybody else in that declaration. And though your
body may die, your spirit lives on eternally with him.
You're free, as Martin Luther King said in that speech,
free at last, Free at last, Thank God Almighty. I'm
(59:38):
free at last. And they've applied it to all the
wrong things. They applied it to the color of his skin,
they applied it to all these other things. But Martin
Luther King knew what it really meant. His soul, his spirit,
man was free at last because he was living in
the Messianic age. The king of kings, Lord Lord, sitting
(01:00:00):
on the throne, Lord Abbah. We just call your name.
We worship you, worthy, worthy, Worthy, Worthy is the land
that was slain, the one who is, the one who was,
(01:00:21):
the one who is to come. There's none like you.
We want to live in the shadow of your wings.
We want to live in your kingdom. We want to
live in your protection. We want to live in your
wholeness and your peace and your healing. And your power.
(01:00:43):
We want that free flow of the water. Lord, we
want to drink. Let us drink right now. Let us
be filled, Let us be all the parchness and the
dryness and all the let it all be gone, and
let everything that's not of you leave be gone. In
the name of Your fill us, fill us, the overflowing,
(01:01:07):
empower us, set us free. Let us go do this,
shake the world one last time before the return of
the King. If you agree, if that's what you want,
that's what you believe, say amen. May the Lord bless
you and keep you. May the Lord make his face
(01:01:27):
shine upon you, be graced to you. May the Lord
may I or and I you sure how much sah
teesus the Messiah lift up his countenance upon you and
give you peace. Give you shall o. I'm Richard Grunn.
