[00:00] please you know what I'm saying we about to have some AO issues let's [00:07] see Sabbath peace Sabbath peace another opportunity [00:13] for us to come together and hear and learn of the word the truth that given to us by the most high God all honor [00:19] goes to the father through the son whose name is yahushua in him lies the only hope for salvation we know that it is [00:25] obtained by grace through faith not of Works lest anyone should boast and freely as a gift to all who obey him we [00:33] understand that if you do not obey him and is made manifest or made obvious that you do not believe in this state [00:39] you should expect no good thing from the most high however anything that you do get whether it be a gift of tongues a [00:44] gift of Prophecy or any Supernatural experience that you may have it can and it will be used against you in the day [00:50] of judgment but that said Peace to the saints that are in the room to the saints that couldn't make it to the Saints watched in on the camera to the [00:56] Saints in the chat but no peace to the Wicked the only thing we say to them is repent that they might live let's go to [01:05] um oh no first of all what we read about last [01:11] week y'all remember last week we was in uh we was in the book of Acts we talked about Acts chapter [01:16] three right we looked at Acts chapter 3 we talked about how uh how Peter he saw [01:22] a man you know what I'm saying asking for uh asking for arms he ask for money you know what I'm saying Peter Peter is [01:28] like man I ain't got no money give you but you know what I'm saying go ahead and stand up and walk everybody looking like what you know what I'm saying like [01:35] wait what you know what I'm saying that boy stood up and he just start walking you know what I'm saying after that the [01:41] more people got added to the congregation then in chapter 4 um I think the uh the elders and the priests [01:49] you know what I'm saying they came and they was trying to figure it out like whoa whoa whoa what's all this commotion [01:55] and so Peter start talking to him and started trying to get that stuff together so let's try to pick up we did [02:00] that through chapter 5 let's pick up uh chapter uh chapter 6 verse [02:06] one this is Acts chapter 6 verse [02:21] one oh you forgot to go over an and saf [02:32] and in those days when the number of the disciples was multiplied there arose a murmuring of the grecians against the [02:38] Hebrews because their W widows were neglected in the daily [02:45] ministration then the 12 called the multitude of the disciples unto them and [02:51] said it is not reason that we should leave the word of God and serve tables [02:56] wherefore Brethren look ye out among you seven men of honest report full of the [03:02] holy spirit and wisdom whom we may appoint over this business right so he looking like it don't make sense for us [03:08] to be sitting out here serving tables right why is that why was that [03:13] their mindset why was their mindset it it I [03:20] mean it don't make sense for us to be out here serving table is it because they [03:26] cocky is it because that they thought themselves more of everyone else they had a specific job to [03:33] do go to Luke this is Luke Chapter uh 10 verse [03:38] 40 this is Luke chap 10 verse 40 watch the book [03:48] say see some of sometime I mean we sit around y'all remember what Ezekiel said [03:53] we don't have to get it but y'all remember what what the prophet Ezekiel said he said most high God told Ezekiel [03:58] these people is going to sit sit in front of you and they going they going to sit up like they paying attention [04:05] matter of fact they going to look like they actually my people when you talking to them but in reality you like one that [04:11] just play music you know what I'm saying like you just like a musician to them they sitting there like oh this is such [04:17] these are so such beautiful words but none of what you saying is penetrating their [04:22] heart right and a lot of times that's what we are we just sit this go in one [04:30] ear out the other you know what I'm saying it don't stick to us and all that so what happens is we have the same [04:37] expectations of the Apostles and disciples but no no no they [04:42] different they began to hang on to every single word so when yahua this is uh [04:49] Luke chapter 10 verse 40 when yosua said this they remembered it watch [04:56] this but Martha was cumbered about much service and came to him and said Lord does not Martha was comfor about doing [05:03] what with much serving she was serving tables and then she came to yahushua she [05:08] said Master what does not does thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone bid her therefore that she help me [05:17] and yua answered and said unto her Martha Martha Thou Art careful and troubl about many things but one thing [05:23] is needful and Mary has chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her right so he said one thing is [05:30] needful she's chosen that what part that good part and where was Martha [05:40] at Martha she serving tables Mary he had his feet learning the word read it again [05:47] watch this this is about verse [05:58] 41 say Luke 10:41 yua answered and said unto her [06:03] Martha Martha Thou Art careful and troubled about many things but one thing is needful and Mary has chosen that good [06:10] part which shall not be taken away from her oh maybe it is verse 40 let me see [06:15] let me see what verse 40 say but Martha was cumbered about much serving and came to him and said Lord does not thou care [06:21] that my sister has left me alone to serve her therefore that she helped me [06:30] keep going and he and Yu answered her and said Martha Martha Thou Art careful and [06:37] trouble about many things but one thing is needful and Mary has chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from [06:43] her keep going that's the end you want uh and she had a sister called Mary [06:49] which also sat at Yu's feet and heard his voice oh yeah what what verse is that 39 okay it's 39 my fault this is uh [06:56] Luke chap 10:39 I thought it came after [07:02] and she had a sister called Mary which also sat at yashua's feet and heard his word right so she was sitting at the [07:09] feet and hearing the word and then yahushua came later and [07:15] said she chose the good part right so the priority in the eyes [07:21] of the of the Messiah is the word comes before serving [07:26] people right we might think that we doing so all no man you know what I'm saying I I donated all my money and I'm [07:32] donating my time and I'm doing this and I'm doing that all these things are great I don't want anything you know [07:37] what I'm saying to sound like you know what I'm saying like those things are not important especially us as disciples [07:43] those things are important for us to serve one another and to help each other and all that but when there is a choice [07:49] of the word getting out and serving people right sacrificing [07:55] yourself and your time and your money and your resources whatever it might be the better thing is the word if it comes [08:03] time from you learning the word or you sacrificing yourself and helping helping out the next brother or sister or [08:09] figuring something out the priority is the word right and that's always been a [08:16] priority so when you understand the scriptures that's not a hard decision for you that's why they said they didn't [08:23] waste no time they looking like it don't make no sense for us to be sitting here serving tables now I know listen I get [08:28] it the the Gentiles is over there complaining that they women is not getting fed they widows is not getting [08:35] fed meanwhile the Hebrew widows are getting taken care of right so remember [08:41] the context right we had ananas we had Safi they came they trying to you know what I'm saying they trying to they [08:46] trying to they trying to trick Peter into thinking that they donated everything but they didn't because that's what everybody who had something [08:52] was doing they don't they look they gave up everything they had turned it into money and gave it all the Peter so [09:00] everybody had everything in common so that mean Peter and the disciples had to [09:05] distribute everything to everybody who joined the discipleship right so all these people [09:12] that kept on getting added when it was time to eat the disciples had to figure it out like okay look make sure they fed [09:18] over there so then it became disputes because they looking like hold on the Hebrews getting fed but not the [09:24] Gentiles right so we were preferring our own people over the Gentiles [09:30] so when that happened we like okay look we ain't got time to be like helping y'all you know what I'm saying feed [09:36] everybody I tell you what we G to choose out some reputable men and we GNA put [09:42] them over this work because we have to get the word out it don't make sense for [09:49] us to sacrifice the word getting out to serve some darn tables the word is the [09:56] priority right they paid attention when yahua said that they knew that stuck to [10:01] them they remembered that like hold on hold on hold on do it make sense you remember when Martha when she was [10:06] serving yep no we can't do that the word got to come first somebody else got to do this so we GNA appoint some people to [10:13] do this right it's no different grab uh grab uh Psalm [10:21] 138 this is Psalm 138 [10:45] I will praise Psalm 138 verse one I will praise thee with my whole heart before [10:50] the look he said I'mma praise you this is David talking David I'm I'mma praise thee with my whole heart watch this [10:56] before the gods will I sing praise unto thee he said before the mighty ones or before the most high I will I will sing [11:03] praise right watch this I will worship toward thy Holy Temple and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy [11:10] truth thou H has magnified Thy word above all thy name he said thou has [11:16] magnified what Thy word above all thy name now listen the book also tells us [11:23] there is nothing greater than yah's name but then he stopped and he said oh but you magnified your word even above your [11:32] name because the word has to take priority for us over [11:38] everything right if you know you got something you need to learn from the word then you get that first then you [11:46] start working on everything else then you start serving then you start doing doing what needs to be [11:51] done right that's why the man of God had to appoint people specifically look this [11:57] is what I need you to do let's go back this is Acts chapter uh where we at 6 [12:03] verse three this is Acts chapter 6 verse3 watch what the book [12:13] say wherefore brother and look ye Out Among you seven men of honest report full of the holy spirit and wisdom whom [12:20] we may appoint over this business but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and the ministry of the word and [12:28] the saying please the multitude and they chose Steven A Man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit and Phillip and pro [12:36] procus and nikanor nikor and and teon and parus and [12:45] Nicholas a prolly of Antioch right so Nicholas was a prolly it's important to [12:51] point that out because who are they dealing with right now they dealing with Gentiles that was the the whole the [12:57] whole dispute came from gentiles like look hold on our widows ain't getting taken care of now the Hebrews are [13:03] getting taken care of everybody who a Hebrew is good but if you a widow and you a gentile our people not getting [13:09] taken care of what we gonna do so these are Gentiles that's making a complaint so it made sense to me when I read it [13:16] that the disciples was like okay let's choose out some of the reputable among the other disciples right and then one [13:24] of them who we chose would be a gentile when it say when we say prolite it's talking about it's talking about [13:29] somebody that is not born of our nation right yeah sister Pam like she said she [13:35] said a convert right that's somebody who converted right so it's like this is a [13:40] usually a gentile coming from a different land who decided to live within our [13:46] land right The Foreigner right so this is a proelite [13:51] which would be a gentile but they keep our law they've been converted and this is what everybody would be right [13:59] everybody that we talking about right now when it's talking about the grecians those are talking about Gentiles who've [14:04] converted and now they are keeping our [14:11] law can't hear you you went out have to change the batteries again [14:45] this might have a little juice in it we'll see we'll see how long it last you know what I'm saying but uh where was I [14:52] at the proc light yep yeah so you know what I'm saying we got we got we got [14:57] converts that we put in place to help make things balanced and fair cuz you [15:03] know we Hebrews you know what I'm saying our whole book tell us to the Hebrew first you know what I'm saying so it's [15:09] like yeah like like that's how we view things so now you know what I'm saying we like well go ahead and throw a gentle [15:15] in there so they can look out you know what I'm saying make sure make sure we keep some order and some balance in this thing right keep going watch [15:26] this but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word and the same [15:33] pleased the whole multitude and they chose Steven A Man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit and Phillip and porus [15:40] and nikanor and teon and binus and Nicholas a prolite of Antioch whom they [15:46] had set before the apostles and when they had prayed they laid their hands on them and the word of God increased and [15:53] the number of the disciples multiply multiplied in Jerusalem greatly in a great company of the priests were OB Obi [15:59] to the faith and Steven full of faith and power [16:04] and great wonders and miracles among the people then there arose certain of the synagogue which is called the synagogue [16:11] of the LI libertin Li Libertines and sirenians and alexandrians and uh and of them of [16:18] celissia and of Asia disputing with Steven and they were not able to resist [16:23] the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake then they sub subborn men which [16:29] said we have heard him speak Blasphemous words against Moses and against God and they right so that when it say suburn [16:35] men they got they got people to you know what I'm saying to lie pretty much you know I'm saying they got people you know [16:41] what I'm saying like they they put people up to be against stepen so this is exactly what they did to yahua right [16:47] so now these people come they said they heard what we heard we heard him speak [16:53] Blasphemous words against Moses and against God right so they saying they saying to Stephen hey he speaking [16:59] blasphemy against Moses and the word of the most high God right because you can [17:04] imagine what Stephen is saying is he's preaching the gospel right and a lot of people like to [17:10] like so like nowadays right the the the a lot of the Hebrew Israelites they like [17:16] to imagine that ain't nothing change this that and other but you got to understand that the exact same criticism [17:24] that the Hebrew Israelites get today when they arguing with the Christian is very similar like what they say is very [17:33] similar right what what what the what the Israelites right now are saying what [17:38] we reading right now our people what they're saying to Stephen is you are speaking against Moses and you speaking [17:46] against God that's not too dissimilar to what the Hebrew Hebrew Israelites would [17:51] say today if you tell them no you ain't got to keep the law they be like oh see you speaking against Moses and you don't [17:58] know God right I want you guys to see that because these arguments that we have [18:05] today are no different I'm G show you the other side too where you know what I'm saying where the Christians get it wrong both of them wrong be be very [18:12] clear the Christian is dead wrong and the Hebrew Israelite a dead wrong right neither one of them know what they darn [18:17] talking about they just arguing they both Christians really it's just a lawke keeping Christian and you know what I'm saying in a non-law keeping Christian [18:24] pretty much right so it's like none of them know what they talking about but this is this is where we found ourselves [18:30] right and we see that today the arguments are really not that different so when they see Stephen talking they [18:37] looking at him and they trying to portray him as if he's speaking against the law he's speaking against Moses watch this keep [18:45] going and they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes and came unto him and caught him and brought him and [18:51] they caught him what else they say about they brought up to the council and set up false Witnesses which said this man [18:57] ceases not to speak Blasphemous words against this holy place in the law for [19:02] we he's speaking Blasphemous words against the holy place in the law I [19:09] wonder why they would say he's speaking against the law right he's telling he's like listen [19:16] yahua came you know what I'm saying it's him who we have to obey if we don't obey [19:23] him we G to go it's not Moses that we have to obey what Moses told us himself [19:30] what yahua says is going to be required like that's what he's telling them and [19:35] when they hearing that they looking like what no because you gotta um you gotta you got to take yourself and put [19:41] yourself in their shoes Moses is Jesus to us right before yahua came it's it's [19:48] Mo the Moses is the god the P the way we look at yahua is how our our whole [19:54] nation would have looked at Moses right so now you got somebody [19:59] popping on the scene talking about that the same way we feel when these silly darn Muslim pop up and they talking [20:06] about no Muhammad is the he's the last prophet the same way we feel we look we be looking like what boy last Pro you [20:14] sound crazy yahua is the prophet yahua is the man of God yahua is the Messiah [20:19] he the last he the first and the last what you talking about the last prophet ain't nobody looking what what boy right [20:26] we get offended now we know Muhammad came from you know what I'm saying a vision that was of the devil you know [20:33] what I'm saying we know that because of the book but asside from that that is exactly how our people felt when yahua [20:41] was coming some of them at least they looking like what you speaking against Moses this don't make no darn sense what [20:48] you mean he he the one we got Moses gave us the law right what about this Temple [20:53] he telling them oh man this Temple going to be destroyed cuz remember yahu already told us that so so now Steph is [20:59] just repeating what he's learned what he believed Stephen is like no this Temple going to be destroyed yahua is the [21:04] temple they looking like man boy you sound crazy you talking bad about the temple this is God's Temple how dare you [21:13] right keep going what else they say [21:19] about for we have heard him say that this Yu of nazarus shall destroy this place and shall change the Cs which [21:26] Moses delivered us look and look this is this is what they hear when he's talking [21:31] Stephen never said nothing about I know we don't I can we about to read what Stephen was saying he don't say nothing [21:37] about changing no customs and sister Pam just asked did he say that we shouldn't [21:43] keep the law he didn't say nothing about we shouldn't keep the law yahua ain't never said we shouldn't keep the law [21:48] matter of fact we read it ourselves we we ain't got to get it right now but Matthew Chapter 5 he said those who uh [21:54] uh uh break even the least of this law will be least in the Kingdom those who uh practice the law and teach others to [22:00] practice it they gonna be great in the Kingdom right so he never told nobody to stop keeping the law but this is what [22:06] they hear because you have to just like today yahua we teach yahu you if you [22:13] don't believe in yashu obey yahua you will not enter into the Kingdom right imagine somebody coming tomorrow and [22:20] saying you have to obey Muhammad he's the way that you get into [22:26] the kingdom if somebody somebody came to us and said that we would look at him like you're crazy that's not in the book [22:34] I don't understand it and that's how our people feel because Moses is the way [22:40] right the only the only idea of righteousness that we had came from Moses so when you get to talking to us [22:46] about yahushua we don't see it in the scripture yet so we looking like no [22:51] you're full of it he's talking about Moses he this is blasphemy he's speaking bad about the temple he trying to change [22:58] our Customs that's how they interpreted it so that's what they accusing them of [23:03] right keep going watch this and all that sat in the council [23:10] looking steadfastly on him saw his face as it had been the face of an [23:17] Angel so they can start now yah is showing them a miracle and this is why I believe that the Israelites that was [23:24] saying this to uh to Stephen I think they really believed it right I don't think they was just trying [23:30] to set him up and get them killed or this that and the other I don't think they thought they were making false claims against him I think they believed [23:36] every word they were saying he really is trying to change the Customs he really is trying to tell us not to keep Moses [23:42] law he really is and that's not what he's saying what he's saying is you have to obey yahua what yahushua requires of [23:50] you that's what gets you into the kingdom now when they hear that they looking like you saying the you saying [23:55] the law is you saying the law is done away with the same arguments that we had today [24:01] it's like no you never heard me say that I didn't say the law has done away with what I said is you have to obey yahushua [24:06] and what yahushua commanded is not the same as what Moses commanded oh so now the Law's done away with we ain't got to [24:12] keep the law not what I said you know what I'm saying but that's the mindset that people have always been in I say [24:19] this to you guys to know this is not unique what we being what we dealing with today the arguments or stuff even [24:25] the arguments that we have within us right or the the the the the the the [24:30] misunderstandings or the confusion that we have this is not new this is the same [24:35] stuff that happened immediately after yahushua died like we reading about right now right they're accusing Stephen [24:42] of the exact same things that people accuse me of this very day when I'm talking these these these uh Hebrew [24:49] Israelites right and part of that reason is is because the most high God requires [24:56] you to to to see this stuff in the scripture you have to see it in the scripture and if you don't then it's [25:03] going to be invisible to you right and that's why we keep on going over this stuff because it's like we're gonna my [25:09] job we gonna go over this stuff as much as we can until we see it if we don't see it then we don't see it but my job [25:16] is to go over it until we do see it right because that's what he's saying so [25:22] now we got Stephen disciple of the most high God talking to uh you know the people of our land the Israelites and [25:28] he's going back and forth with them they're accusing him of speaking against the temple they're accusing him of [25:34] speaking against Moses they accusing him of trying to change our customs in other words trying to change the way [25:41] Israelites do things right keep going watch this then said the high priest are [25:46] these things so and he said men Brethren and fathers hearken the god of Glory [25:52] appeared unto our Father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia before he dwelt in Chiron and said said unto him get thee [25:59] out of thy country and from thy Kindred and come to the land which I shall show thee then he came out of the land of the [26:05] calans and dwelt in shiran and from then when his father was dead he removed him [26:12] into this land wherein ye now dwell and he gave him none inheritance in it no [26:18] not so much as to set his foot on yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession into his seed after him [26:24] when as yet he had no child and God spake on this why that his seed should sojourn in the land [26:31] and that they should bring them land they should and they should bring them into bondage and in treat them evil 400 [26:38] years and the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge sayeth God [26:43] and after that shall they come forth and serve me in this place and he right so he's talking about Abraham at this point [26:49] he's about to take a this is Stephen talking right now so stepen is talking to the Israelites so understand let me [26:55] set up the scene for y'all real quick stepen is is already preaching he's already telling people about yahushua [27:01] right when Stephen is saying whatever Stephen is saying the way the Israelites [27:06] took it the way our people took it is we responded to him like um it sound like [27:12] you talking about Moses you know what I'm saying sound like you talking bad about Moses it sound like you telling us [27:17] the temple don't matter that's blasphemy it sound like you trying to change our customs right so we don't know exactly [27:25] what Stephen said to to provoke that response what we know is he was teaching the gospel and that's how they decided [27:32] to respond they thought the gospel was changing their [27:38] Customs right they thought the gospel spoke against Moses they thought the [27:44] gospel spoke against the temple right so when they looking at him they looking [27:50] like Noah you ain't one of us you not like us right that's how they looking at Stephen so now what Stephen is about to [27:58] do is show that he understands our history because that's what we respect [28:05] right we feeling like man you bringing this new stuff we don't we ain't never heard nothing like this so now Stephen [28:11] is kind of he he's about to spend this whole chapter kind of flexing on them like man I know the whole history it [28:16] started out with Abraham most high God called him out we went here you know what I'm saying he told him that we [28:22] going to go into a land for this so long this that and other so he's breaking down our entire history and he about to take it in order order and run us down [28:29] all of it our people would respect that like okay you know the law you know our scripture you know what I'm saying so [28:35] they listening that's why he's able to get so many words out because we respect people who know our history we respect [28:41] people who can recount it and get into the details and spot all these things so that's what Stephen is about to do he's [28:47] about to go through the history and spot out you know what I'm saying some of the key details and then watch how he ties [28:53] it up at the end watch this keep going and he gave him the Covenant of [28:59] circumcision and so Abraham begat Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day and Isaac begat Jacob and Jacob beg got [29:05] the 12 Patriarchs and the Patriarchs moved with Envy sold Joseph into EG [29:10] Egypt but God was with him and delivered him out of all his afflictions and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of [29:16] pharaoh king of Egypt and made him Governor over Egypt and all his house now there came a Dar over all of the [29:22] land of Egypt and Canaan in great Affliction and our fathers found no sustenance but [29:29] when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt he sent out his oh he sent our fathers first and at the second time [29:36] Joseph was made known to his Brethren and Joseph's Kindred was made known unto Pharaoh then [29:43] Joseph then then sent Joseph and called his father Jacob to him and all his Kindred 70 70 wait sorry 75 [29:54] Souls so Jacob went down into Egypt and died he and our fathers and were carried [30:00] over into sheim and laid in the supper that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of emore the father of shech [30:08] but when the time of the promise Drew near which notice these details that he picking out he's like yeah he didn't say [30:14] just laid in the grave no he laid in a grave that was bought you know what I'm saying by our fathers for this much from [30:19] this person you know what I'm saying like he's he's he's calling out details because we respect that right our people [30:27] respect like no man you ain't you know what I'm saying you talking about changing our customs we not trying to hear him right now so he had to go and [30:33] be like man I'm not talking about changing Customs y'all don't know what I'm talking y'all not paying attention to what the law say so you think I'm [30:39] telling you something different you think I'm telling you something against God you think I'm telling you something against the law right but it's because [30:47] you don't know the law right so now the only way to get their respect is man let [30:52] me show you what I know so he started laying it out for him like no okay and this happened and this with with minute [30:59] details throughout watch he keeps doing it keep going but when the time of the promise Drew nigh which God had sworn to [31:05] Abraham the people grew and multiplied in Egypt till another king arose which knew not Joseph the same dwelt s subtly [31:12] with our Kindred and evil and treated our fathers so they cast out their young children at the end that they might not [31:18] live in which time Moses was born and was exceedingly fair and nourished up in the in his father's house three months [31:26] and when he was cast out Pharaoh's daughter took him up and nourished him for her own son and Moses was learned in [31:32] all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and in deeds and when he was full 40 years old it came to his [31:39] heart to visit his brother and the children of Israel and seeing one of them suffer wrong he defended him and [31:44] Avenged him that was oppressed and smoke the Egyptian for he supposed his Brethren would have understood how that [31:51] God by his hand would deliver them but they understood not the next day he showed himself unto them unto them that [31:57] strove and would have set them at one again saying s ye are Brethren why do you wrong one another but he but he that [32:05] did his neighbor wrong thrust him away saying who made you a ruler and judge over us will you kill me as you did the [32:11] Egyptian yesterday then fled Moses at this saying and was a stranger in the land of Midian where he begot two sons [32:18] and when 40 years were expired look at the detail right he could have just said he went to he went to the land of median [32:24] he like no when he there he got two two sons right right he's throwing little details in there that like most people [32:31] wouldn't even know this won't remember anything Stephen is doing this off the top right he just he he's in a mid [32:39] conversation just like no this happened this happened oh yeah and he had two sons while he is out there little [32:44] details watch this keep going and when 40 years were expired there appeared unto him in the wilderness in of Mount [32:50] Si the angel of yahwah in the flame of fire in the bush when Moses saw it he wondered at the sight and he drew near [32:56] to behold it and The Voice Yahweh came to him saying I am the god of thy fathers the god of Abraham and the god [33:02] of Isaac and the god of Jacob then Moses trembled and D not behold then said Yahweh unto him put off thy shoes from [33:09] thy feet for the place where thou stand is Holy Ground I have seen I have seen the Affliction of my people which is in [33:15] Egypt and I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them and now come I will send thee into Egypt [33:22] this Moses when they when they refused saying this Moses whom they refused saying who made the ruler and judge the [33:29] same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the Angel which appeared to him in the bush he brought [33:35] them out after that he had showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea in the wilderness 40 [33:41] years this is that Moses would said unto the children of Israel a prophet shall Yahweh your God raise up unto you for [33:48] your brethren like unto me him shall now look he went through all that right he [33:54] went through all that and he said this is that same Moes so he took him through the history to get him to Moses and he [34:02] said okay cuz get the context their accusation to him is you are speaking [34:08] blasphemy against Moses right so then he rocked them to sleep and he said oh no I know the [34:15] history now let me tell you how this all started it started with Abraham right Abraham came in he was given this [34:20] promise after the promise you know what I'm saying you had you had Isaac and you had Jacob then after that they went into [34:26] Egypt you know what I'm saying Joseph you know I'm saying and carried them into Egypt they made things known you know what I'm saying then we stayed [34:31] there then Moses was raised up you know I'm saying after these people Moses went out you know what I'm saying he saw some people struggling they was like who made [34:37] you ruler Moses went to Midian he had two babies you know what I'm saying then after he went to M he came back he [34:42] rescued the people oh yeah so this Moses that y'all familiar with this Moses y'all accusing me of speaking again yeah [34:48] well this is that same Moses that said what [34:53] now what Moses say [35:00] this is he that was in wait my this is that Moses was said unto the children of [35:05] Israel a Prophet this is that Moses that said unto the children of Israel what a [35:10] prophet shall Yahweh your God raise up unto you of your brethren like a prophet [35:16] Yahweh is gonna raise up of your brethren he's quoting our law this is in [35:22] you can read it yourself Deuteronomy chapter 18 He is quoting our law he said most Moes himself said there will be a [35:30] prophet from among the Brethren that Yahweh himself will raise up and what's [35:35] going to happen after that like unto me and him you shall hear this is he that [35:40] was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in Mount Si and with our fathers who [35:47] received the Lively oracles to give unto us right so he said listen this is Moses [35:53] Moses told y'all that he said that Prophet that's the one that you have to listen to he said Moses told y'all that [36:01] yeah the same Moses that got the oracles from the angel in the [36:07] wilderness so now he's putting it on them you picking and shooting who's really not obeying [36:13] Moses Moses told y'all that a prophet was gonna raise up and y'all got to listen to him Moses told you that the [36:21] same MOS got it from the Oracle I mean got the oracles from the uh when we say oracles it's talking about the word of the most high God the same that got the [36:28] word of God from the angel right keep going watch this [36:33] Stephen's a bad boy man I wish he would have live I wish Stephen would have lived a little bit longer and wrote some books I think he would have been just as [36:39] good as Paul you know what I'm saying because I like the way Stephen put this thing together keep going whom our [36:45] fathers would not obey but thrust him from them and in their hearts turned back again unto Egypt saying Aaron make [36:52] us Gods to go before us for as of this Moses which brought us out of the land of Egypt we not what has come of him [37:00] they made a calf in those days and offered sacrifice unto an idol and reject and rejoice in the works of their [37:05] own hands Stephen is purposely picking out every single detail everything that [37:13] he's talking about is not like he's just saying stuff he's building a case and [37:19] watch how he flips it masterfully watch this he talking about he talking about [37:25] this Moses Moses told y'all there was going to be a a prophet that come and Moses said that Prophet is the one you [37:31] have to listen to Moses never told you you have to listen to me he said listen [37:37] this is the law of the most high god oh and one day there's going to be a prophet and he's the one that you have [37:44] to listen to right then he then after that Stephen start picking out the detail about what happened when Moses [37:50] came down from the mount right he is like oh they made a golden calf watch this keep going then God turned and gave [37:57] them up to worship the host of Heaven as it is written in the book of the prophets oh ye House of Israel have ye [38:05] offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of 40 years in the wilderness yay ye took up the [38:11] Tabernacle of mole and the star of your God Rim R figures which made which which ye made [38:20] to worship them look he said he said you took up what read that part one one one more time for the Hebrew Israelites [38:26] that's still wearing the the Star of David read it again you took up the Tabernacle of Molech and the star of [38:32] your God Rian riman they think they they call it the Star of David stop all that [38:38] darn line that's the star darn riff you know what I'm saying what's wrong with these people it tell you right here in the [38:45] book they act like this stuff is not here right all this stuff is idolatry [38:51] watch what he say after that figures which he made to worship them and I will carry you these are [38:58] figures which you made to worship you figure your hands made that darn star that's a figure that you made to worship [39:05] it you got the wearer and you try to put that evil on David David ain't never told you about no darn star you better [39:11] stop all that line ain't no different from the Christian tree because you know look you [39:17] tell a Christmas I tell y'all these Hebrew Israelites is just Christians they the same thing right so it's like [39:23] if you talk to a Christian be like no the Christmas tree that came from this ancient Pagan you know what I'm saying [39:29] this uh ancient Pagan re you could you could read about the ancient Pagan version of the Christmas tree in [39:36] Jeremiah chapter 10 and then they go read Jeremiah chapter 10 no that's not [39:41] it's not talking about no Christmas tree it talking about that's talking about idolatry uh yeah uh yeah that's yeah [39:50] you're right it's talking about the idolatry that has become a Christmas tree so they look at it and they say [39:56] it's not the same that's talking about something else same thing the Hebrew Israelites you show a Hebrew Israelite [40:01] this no that's talking about a different star brother that's not talking about this star this the Star of David this [40:08] was on David's Shield show it to me show me where it was on David [40:13] Shield right but we believe lie people can teach us anything because we believe [40:19] lies and this is this is what the point that he's making right he's making the [40:25] point of y'all had the law of Mo you are accusing me of [40:31] speaking against the law but our history shows us that we just got the law with [40:38] Moses right in front of us and we start worshiping Idols [40:44] right so he's telling us y'all are the ones that got this wrong y'all no [40:50] different from our ancestors right now right watch this keep going [40:59] and the star of your God Rian figures which you made to worship them and I will carry you away Beyond Babylon our [41:07] fathers had the Tabernacle of witness in the wilderness as he had appointed speaking unto Moses then he should make [41:13] it according that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen which also our fathers that came [41:19] after brought in with yahushua unto the possession of the Gentiles whom God drave out before the face of our fathers [41:25] unto the days of David so when he say our father is brought in with yahushua he's talking about uh Joshua the son of [41:32] nun yeah right so this is this is how you know that that [41:38] yahushua the Son of God and Joshua had the exact same name because if you look [41:43] in the King James version you know what I'm saying it's gonna call Joshua the son of nun it's gonna call him [41:49] Jesus right and it's just because of translation if y'all go to the website to.com we have a uh we have a we have a [41:57] lesson where um it's a course online where we kind of take you through you know what [42:02] I'm saying transliteration and how you end up getting into the name Jesus now these a lot of these Hebrew Israelites [42:07] gonna tell you no Jesus really means Zeus you know what I'm saying like they they gonna try to tell you all this they [42:13] just make up all these myths and this stuff to try to manipulate people and to believe in what they believe but the [42:19] thing is when you believe the truth you don't have to do that right there's no [42:25] there's no reason to lie to somebody in the just to get them to believe the truth when you believe the truth and [42:31] when you stand in it and when you really believe it you don't need to lie you don't need to come up with with theories [42:36] and these guests just to just to try to get people and manipulate them to believe and follow your your your uh [42:42] what you believe is true right no Jesus is not saying Zeus you know what I'm [42:48] saying it's not the same thing it's something totally different but it there is a history to how it got there and I [42:55] think from Satan's point of view of course it's about confusion from the individual human point of view most of [43:02] these people are just doing it out of ignorance they calling them Jesus just because that's the way that you transliterate his name and then when you [43:08] read it that's how you pronounce it but his name is actually yahushua or some variation of that right some dialect of [43:14] yahushua some people you know what I'm saying say yahawashi some people say um [43:19] uh yah yahusha some people say you know what I'm saying yosua Yeshua it's [43:25] different ways of that people pronounce it but that's his name right we pronounce it yahushua right so when you [43:32] look at when you look at these things and you try to dive into them you know what I'm saying make sure you're being [43:37] honest and objective of what you're seeing when you talking about Christmas when you talking about Christmas trees [43:42] and Easter don't just go along with these people say they be telling you about Thanksgiving they be telling you [43:47] about all these different things don't just go along with you know what I'm saying if you going to look into it look [43:52] into it otherwise don't be repeating what people say just because they said it make somebody prove something to you [43:58] right and then challenge they stuff the it's we live in a time of lies all the [44:03] people lie about stuff that you when when you find out some of this stuff is lie You' be looking like why in the [44:09] world you even lie about that what was the point you know what I'm saying like why would you why it wasn't even necessary to lie you know what I'm [44:14] saying like why I was I was gonna rock with you anyway you know what I'm saying and people just lie it's just it's just [44:21] the way of the world right now right and part of it is because what what yahushua told you remember when we was reading [44:27] gospel yahua told us I saw Satan fall like lightning right when yahua went to [44:34] the right hand of the father when we is Reading in Acts chapter one where he said he went up into the cloud and the [44:40] angel was like the same way you saw him he gonna come back you what I'm saying at that moment Satan had to come out of [44:47] heaven right so yahua went up and Satan came down with all his angels so the [44:52] world has gotten worse right things there's been more temptation to sin [44:58] there's been more lies there's been more deception and as time goes on and as Satan realizes his time is shorter and [45:05] shorter it gets worse and worse right so that's where we are now we're in a like [45:10] this is like this is you know I'm saying this is like you know uh you know you play the Mario Brothers you know what [45:17] I'm saying you jump up and you get the darn star Satan got the darn Star right now he he shoot every shot he take his [45:24] all net that boy just you know what I'm saying W that boy killing it right now because this is this is just his his [45:31] playground right now that's why everybody lie everybody a hypocrite everybody be doing this stuff and you [45:37] look around it gets to the point where we're so confused about all the lies that are out there that then we lessen [45:44] the standard of the most high God so that's why you got Christians that'll say no it's impossible to stop sinning [45:51] because they haven't seen it they looking like I ain't never seen nobody turn away from all they sins so basic of [45:57] what they say they like no the word must not be it it can't be saying what I think it's saying because I know my [46:04] grandma is a good person and even she used to cuss right so it's like it can't be like [46:11] me just saying a little cuss word can't keep me out of King CU I know she in heaven looking down on me right and so [46:16] we take our experience and we elevate it above the word but remember our [46:23] perspective has to be the word has to be elevated even above the the name of the most high [46:28] God right above our service we got to put the word above everything even our [46:35] own experience if my experience is everybody make mistakes everybody that's [46:41] cool but guess what's guess what's bigger than my experience the word so if the word say turn from all sin I don't [46:48] care if I don't turn from all sin I don't care if you don't turn from all sin all that mean is exactly what the [46:53] word say we're going to hell if we don't period right it don't matter what my [46:59] experience is it don't matter how great I think T is it don't matter how great T think I am it don't matter none of that [47:06] stuff matter at the end of the day whoever does does not according to the word whoever does not turn from all sin [47:14] that leads to death will go to the Hellfire right the Eternal [47:20] fire right that's book that ain't me talking that's the book talking and the [47:26] and when you get your mindset there to where you elevate the word above your own experience I've never seen it [47:33] either right I've never seen nobody who died who I felt like you know what that [47:38] person lived a life without sin from this point to this point and today death [47:44] I never I can't I can't call it not one person that I that I can confidently you know what I'm saying say that about that [47:50] I would vouch for that you know what I'm saying not saying it hasn't happened I'm just saying that I don't believe I've seen so of course it's natural for [47:57] people to look like and be like Noah the word can't be saying what it's saying no that is the decep the deception that we [48:03] living in we live in such deception that we think H everybody said that the Bible [48:10] you know is man-made everybody said the white man wrote it don't make darn sense how a white man write it you know [48:17] I'm saying it don't even make Mar it came from it came from Hebrew people right keep going watch this let's [48:25] see what else Stephen was talking about [48:31] who found favor before God and desire to find a tabernacle for the god of Jacob but Solomon built him a house how be it [48:38] the most high dwells not in temples made with hands as sayith the prophet Heaven is my throne and Earth is my foot stol [48:45] what house will you build me sayith Yahweh or what is the place of my rest have not my handm made all these things [48:52] ye stiff necked and uncircumcised and heart look so now he about to get at them right so remember what they accused [48:58] him of they accused him of speaking against Moses they accused him of speaking against the temple and they [49:05] they accuse him and speaking against the Customs right those are the things they [49:10] accuse him so then he went through our history about those things right he [49:16] looking like yeah you know what I'm saying this Moses he told y'all to hear the prophet that's going to come right [49:23] oh yeah and after Moses was talking y'all talking about changing custom but look they start you know what I'm saying [49:29] immediately after hearing Moses your fathers our fathers they start [49:34] worshiping other gods making these darn stars that they call Star David today [49:40] right they start doing all that stuff remember we built the temple Solomon built it first we had the Tabernacle he [49:46] started with the Tabernacle then he went on to the temple then Solomon built the temple right but then didn't God say [49:53] that you know what I'm saying all this stuff is his and didn't God tell David that he's [49:59] going to provide the temple so he's trying to he's setting it up and telling him God told you I'm not telling you [50:05] nothing new when I tell you that yahushua is the temple I'm not speaking against the temple here that's what God [50:12] Said God said that he would provide the temple so then after that he flip it on [50:19] them watch what he say ye stiff necked and uncircumcised and hard and ears ye do always resist [50:26] the as your father he said you always resist the Holy [50:31] Spirit right he said when he's saying you he's talking about our he's talking [50:37] about our history that's why he went he said you come from the same people that's in our history we have always [50:44] resisted the Holy Spirit and what he's talking about when he says that is the prophets when they spoke they spoke by [50:51] the spirit of the most high God right so y'all got to remember like God is Spirit [50:57] you can't see him so when he interacts with people he's interacting with us [51:02] with spirits and when it's talk about the holy spirit it's talking about it's just saying holy spirit is just another way of saying the spirit of God right so [51:11] when when the most high God interacts with us with the Holy Spirit right it moves people and all of a sudden it [51:17] starts to give us visions and dreams and then we're told in those visions and [51:23] dreams to speak or repeat what we saw in the Vision excuse me what we saw in the [51:28] vision and what we saw in the dream so then we start to speak that and [51:34] then the people hear it right and we just got done reading the entire [51:39] scripture everything we read and one thing as we read it in our Bible in the year reading one thing was a common [51:46] theme we ain't never listening to the prophets right and we know these [51:53] prophets is Prophets y'all remember King Ahab we don't have to get it but y'all remember King Ahab [52:01] King Ahab was looking like you know what I'm saying man I want to go where where was it gilgal hey it was gillad Raymond [52:07] gillad it was Raymond gillad yeah he is looking like you know what I'm saying I want to go up to Raymond gillad so he [52:12] called Jehoshaphat I mean not Jehoshaphat uh uh it was Jehoshaphat he [52:18] called he called Jehoshaphat he is like Jehoshaphat king of Judah you know what I'm saying Ahab is King of the North he [52:24] king of Israel so he looking like my brother you know I'm saying you gonna go with me to Raymond gillad let's get this [52:29] done josephat like yeah for sure I'm with you you my man you know what I'm saying you my man but uh real quick [52:35] though you know what I'm saying holl the prophet of God you know what I'm saying just so we can make sure it's all good because Jehoshaphat he served the most [52:41] high God Ahab don't remember Ahab he followed Jezebel y'all heard of Jezebel [52:47] a lot of people a lot of people talk about Jezebel they talking about some a woman that's promiscuous you know what I'm saying but [52:53] when we read the scriptures that's not what we see from Jezebel that wasn't her that wasn't her claim to fame right [52:59] Jezebel claim to fame was she took a lot of control and she and she killed the [53:04] prophets of the most high God right she was a very strong woman ain't nothing wrong with being a very [53:10] strong woman but she was a very strong woman that killed the prophets of the most high God right so she tried to [53:17] change the Customs so King Ahab is like yeah man uh yeah it's a prophet of the [53:23] most high God you know what I'm saying uh go get him and then Micaiah he spoke and told him [53:30] don't go up that thing ain't going to work out the way you think it is it's going to be a Shepherd you know what I'm saying it's gonna be a flock without a [53:37] Shepherd everybody gonna be scattered I seen Israel like a like a sheep with no [53:43] sheph right and he notices a prophet of the mo [53:48] most high God and nevertheless he kept moving the way he wanted to move he told him to be quiet they slapped him in his [53:54] mouth for speaking right so that's that's been our like [54:00] that y'all remember Jeremiah we read a lot about Jeremiah Jeremiah walking around you got you got zedekiah sneaking [54:08] to hear the word from him knowing this is a prophet of the most high God when they got mad at Jeremiah and dropped [54:14] them into the pit zedekiah came and saved them out of the pit locked them away and fed him bread because he knew [54:21] he was the prophet of the most high God but still didn't listen to him [54:27] right so what what Stephen is the point that Stephen is making is Stephen is telling you you you shouldn't trust [54:35] yourself because we come from a history of resisting the Holy Spirit we come [54:42] from a history of resisting words and prophecy that comes directly from the [54:48] spirit of God so that he called them stiff necked and uncircumcised of heart [54:54] and ears right remember the circumcision represents uh it's it's a circumcision [55:01] represents the Covenant of of Abraham so when you uncircumcised of heart and ears [55:07] it's saying your heart and your ears are foreign right your heart and the ears [55:13] are not in it that mean you not hearing and you not understanding the heart when you think when the book talk about the [55:19] heart it's talking about it's the same way we would think of mind you know what I'm saying like it's a heart and we [55:25] today when we talk about heart we usually talking about something emotional right but when we when we talk [55:31] about heart in the scripture it's talking about not just emotions but it's talking about mind it's talking about [55:37] everything that's inside of you right your soul right so it's saying huh your [55:44] thoughts your thoughts right your thoughts so that'll capture your emotions that'll capture your mind that'll capture all that so he's saying [55:52] your heart your insides are uncircumcised which means you ain't in it and your ears are uncircumcised with [55:59] me you ain't in it you ain't hearing it right you can't hear it right the Holy Spirit trying to talk to you and it's [56:05] not connecting right watch this keep [56:11] going you stiff necked and uncircumcised and hard and ears you do always resist the Holy Spirit as your fathers did so [56:18] do you which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted and they have slain them which showed before of the [56:25] coming of the just one of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers [56:31] right so he's saying y'all killed all the prophets right not them in particular but talking about our [56:36] ancestors he said man which ones have we not killed right and they were showing [56:41] you the man that I'm talking to you about they prophesied about him right so he's trying to lay out the [56:49] case for yahua but he's doing it first he laid out first he laid out the case [56:54] by giving him the history and now he turned it on them and say you know this history right y'all the problem y'all [57:01] doing the same thing our ancestors done right keep going watch this who have received the law by the dispensation of [57:08] angels and have not kept it when they heard these things they were cut to the heart and they n when [57:14] they heard these things they were what cut to the heart now watch this hold hold we got right there go to uh Acts [57:21] chapter 2 verse I think it's 36 Acts chapter 2 I think verse [57:27] 36 um and watch what that say and then we going to come right back to Acts chapter uh 7 verse what uh [57:35] 54 54 so we coming back to Acts chapter 7 verse 54 right now we going to Acts [57:41] chapter 2 I think verse 36 if that's not it back me up or pull me forward wherever it [57:49] say uh therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made the same yahushua whom you have [57:56] crucified both Lord and Messiah now when they heard this they [58:02] were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and unto the rest of the Apostles men and Brethren what shall we [58:07] do right so now when Peter told him y'all the ones that killed him right [58:14] after that they were pricked to their heart they were cut to their heart too right but then they response to that was [58:21] oh what should we do so when it say cut to your heart it's just saying that they felt it they felt it on their insides it [58:29] hurt them on the insides when they when the word got preached to them they knew it was true and it hurt him on the [58:34] inside it offended him it got to him but they response to that feeling was okay [58:41] what do we have to do to fix this and then they ended up being baptized now let's go back to acts chap [58:48] 7:54 same circumstance they being preached to some good word being taught [58:53] to them and then he accused he said y'all don't want to kill him right same [58:59] way that Peter did Now watch how they response is a little [59:04] different this is acts chap 7 ver 54 who have received the law by the [59:09] dispensation of angels and have not kept it when they heard these things they were cut to the heart and they nashed on [59:15] him with their teeth but he being right so then they started they got mad they didn't get sad [59:23] they got offended so so in all when they get pricked to the hour it's offended [59:28] right but when they got touched they got mad they start nashing they [59:35] te right they ready to kill this boy for what he talking about watch this keep [59:41] going but he being full of the Holy Spirit looked up steadfastly into heaven [59:46] and saw the glory of God and yahua standing on the right hand of God and said behold I see the heavens open and [59:53] the son of man standing on the right hand of God then they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and [59:58] ran upon him with one Accord and cast him out of the city and stoned him and the W and the witness laid down their [60:04] clothes at a young man's feet whose name was sa and right so you ask sa he's [60:10] sitting there watching he's a young man he sitting there watching like what's going on you know what I'm saying and [60:16] then you see Stephen he get done preaching the word all the people mad at them so they get mad they pick up some [60:23] Stones they take them out they grab them Gaff them up take them out outside the city and they like we about to kill your [60:29] butt for talking all this mess who you think you talking to we not following [60:34] your dude then then look then Stephen look up Stephen messing with him Stephen look up most high God give him a vision [60:41] he say I see I see the son of man standing at the right hand they know [60:47] what that mean because Stephen has been telling them this is the prophet that [60:54] y'all got to listen to y'all think y'all listening to Moses Moses is telling you what he say go and y'all killed him [61:02] blasphemy they start stoping their ears blast me we don't want there take his butt outside let's get rid of him they [61:08] throw his butt outside Stephen like I see the son of man sitting at the right hand of the father he they pick up the [61:14] stone start smacking him with them thing bow he getting hit in the face all type stuff while he seeing there a bow bow I [61:21] see the the bow bow getting lit up right and they end up killing him but watch [61:29] this and they stoned Sten calling upon God and [61:35] saying Lord yahua receive my spirit and he knelt down and cried with a loud [61:41] voice Lord they not this send on their charge and when he had said this he fell asleep right so then they killed him you [61:49] know what I'm saying when it say fell asleep it's talking about he died right the only reason that they use sleep is [61:55] because you know what I'm saying and the idea for a disciple is that he going to be resurrected in the end so the the you [62:01] know death is death the idea death is supposed to be permanent but it's not permanent for those of us who who die in [62:07] yahushua and when I say die in yahushua that means we die obedient to yahua the [62:13] the last breath we take we were obedient to him we repented from all sin that lead to death right we we we were [62:20] baptized and we uh love our neighbor as oursel love our brother our sisters [62:25] right and love uh the most high god with everything we got right that's a good [62:31] basic summation of what what what we what's required of us to make it into the Kingdom right so when when when he died [62:39] that's the state that he is in so the writer a is looking at it like oh he was sleep you know what I'm saying he'll be [62:45] up again right and we gonna learn a little bit more about that later why the disciples had that that perspective but [62:51] remember that's they got that from yahushua yahua would say you know what I'm saying remember with Lazarus he is [62:57] like oh yeah he's sleeping he's like oh he sleep okay well if he sleep it's all good and then y you had to clarify for [63:03] him like well he's sleeping but really he's dead you know what I'm saying because yahua looked at it like now [63:09] that's my man Lazarus I know he getting into the king you know what I'm saying so he's looking at him like he sleep I'm [63:14] about to resurrect him watch this keep going [63:25] [Music] and Saul was consenting unto his death and at that time there was a great [63:32] persecution against the congregation which was at Jerusalem and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions [63:37] of Judah and Samaria except the apostles and Dev right so when it say [63:43] Saul sa he was consenting onto their death sa he's standing there like that [63:48] you got to picture him he a young man he's standing there where all this is going on and then everybody trying to [63:54] get in on it right so they looking like no man let me give me a rock too so they had jackets and coats he like hold on [64:00] hold my you know what I'm saying hold my jacket so they handing it to to sa sa stand there like yeah I got it don't worry but go get him you know what I'm [64:06] saying but he's consenting onto the devil in other words he wants it to happen right so this sa that we reading [64:13] about this ends up being the Apostle Paul right so let's see keep [64:19] going and devout man carried Steven to his burial and made great lamentation over him as fora he made Havoc of the [64:27] congregation entering into every house and hiling men and women committed them to prison therefore right so now sa [64:35] after that as time went on he took it up upon himself to go chase these men down [64:42] right so he chasing them down he looking like yo yo yo you know what I'm saying what y'all doing over here or y'all believe in yahua that's against our law [64:49] and then he take him and carry him off to prison right so he's gaffling everybody [64:54] up so was kind of operating as a officer as a police officer right keep going [65:01] therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word then Philip went down to the city [65:07] of Samaria and preached the Messiah unto them and the people right so I want you guys to understand that get a picture of [65:13] what's Happening we are all in Jerusalem where did yahua tell us to [65:23] stay right he told us to stay in Jerusalem right he said remember T here until the [65:31] Holy Spirit came the Holy Spirit came they waited in Jerusalem right now the [65:38] word is beginning to spread remember yahushua also said the gospel starting [65:45] at Jerusalem has to be preached throughout all the world those are two things that he said right so the first [65:51] thing he said is stay here and then the Spirit came right now [65:58] you got Paul or Saul and a whole bunch of other people that's coming and they're chasing our disciples out of [66:06] Jerusalem so read it again so people can see [66:12] it and so and for so he made Havoc of the congregation entering into every house and hailing men and women [66:18] committed them to prison therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word right when [66:25] it says scattered abroad it's saying scattered outside of Jerusalem right so now they're spreading [66:32] out and they're preaching the word everywhere so in other words I got to get out of Jerusalem because Saul trying [66:38] to get me but I'm about to go up North I'm in Samaria right I'm in Antioch right so [66:46] they in all these different places Antioch Samaria that's where Gentiles are so they going to these different [66:51] places but wherever they going guess what they talking about I'm a servant of the most high god oh yeah that means you [66:58] know what I'm saying you're an Israelite well know I'm an Israelite for sure but I'm a disciple of of the Messiah Oh you [67:03] mean that dude that just got killed everybody be tripping over yeah that's the Messiah he really was the Messiah he [67:09] was like that for real yes you know what I'm saying I know you he walked through Samaria y'all heard some of these people just said up let me tell you this is [67:15] what he trying to do anybody who obey him this that another they he and they looking like all right I'll roll with it [67:21] too so then you have our people that don't believe in y' yua that'd be like [67:26] oh they teaching that stuff out there too man give me a couple people let's go on up to Samaria let's chase them out so [67:32] we chasing the disciples further and further and further out this is causing [67:38] the word to spread more and more right so I want you guys to like it's always [67:44] to perspective to look at things right from our perspective man our people was [67:50] doing the wrong thing by persecuting us right we doing the wrong Thing by by by [67:56] by challenging yahua and trying to prevent his word from spreading but at the same time by doing that it caused [68:04] the word to spread more right so all of this is happening according to yah's plan right watch this [68:12] keep going and the people with one Accord [68:19] gave heed unto those things which Philip spake hearing and seeing the Miracles which he did gave heed to to [68:26] who the things that Philip fake hearing and seeing the Miracles which he did so [68:32] look this is Phillip but then we just got done talking about Stephen Phillip and Stephen are both two of the seven [68:40] people that were chosen to to serve the tables remember we started off by saying [68:46] that uh the disciples chose the apostles they chose seven men that can help serve [68:52] the tables right and these are devout men that were filled with the holy [68:57] spirit so of these seven men you have two of them that we've talked about [69:03] Stephen excuse me who ended up being killed right and then now you have [69:08] Phillip so we about to learn about Phillip and see what he does this is a different Phillip I think from the [69:14] Phillip that's an apostle I mean that was with the disciples right watch this keep [69:23] going and the people with one Accord gave heed to the things which Philip spake hearing and seeing the Miracles [69:28] which he did for unclean spirits crying with with loud with a loud voice came [69:34] out of many that were possessed with them and many taken with pusies and that were lame were healed and there was [69:40] great joy in that City but there was one a certain man called Simon which Before Time in the same city used sorcery and [69:48] bewitched the people of Samaria giving out that himself was a some great one to whom they all gave heed from the least [69:54] to the greatest saying this man has great power of God is the great power of God and to him [70:02] they had regard because that of a long time he had Bewitched them with sorceries but when they believed Philip [70:09] preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God in the name of yahua the Messiah they were baptized both men and [70:15] women then Simon himself believed also and when he was baptized he continued [70:20] with Philip and and wondered beholding the Miracles and signs which were done now when I want y'all to see a couple [70:26] things Simon was the man around these parts he used to trick people make him [70:31] think that he had the power of the most high God he don't know nothing about what's about to happen he don't know [70:37] nothing about yahushua he don't know nothing about all this stuff he just know I've been getting my scam off for [70:42] years and everybody coming to me right then all of a sudden it's new game in [70:47] town so Phil come through and he doing real Miracles ain't no scam to it so everybody looking at it they looking [70:53] like oh no we need to listen to him Philip start baptizing people right and [70:59] when he baptized him everybody believed right so then Simon also starts to [71:06] listen to what Philip is talking about and he believes also the point I want y'all to see is [71:13] belief is not enough right the book read it again the book just told you he believes right [71:20] watch this and Simon himself believed also and when he was baptized he continued with Philip and wondered [71:25] beholding the Miracles and signs which were done so he believed and he was baptized keep going watch this now when [71:32] the apostles which were Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God they sent unto him Peter and John [71:39] who when they were come down prayed for them that they might receive the holy spirit for he was Fallen upon none of [71:46] them only they were baptized in the name only they that were baptized in the name of yua right so this is what this is [71:53] saying is all the people was baptized but nobody got the gift of the holy spirit so you remember we was talking [71:59] about last week you know what I'm saying like like how did you know what I'm saying how did it work you know what I'm saying do people get the Holy Spirit [72:05] when they baptized today all that so it looked like it was connected to somebody [72:11] who was given the gift to pass the Holy Spirit along not just anybody could do it so although Phillip who was a man who [72:18] had the Holy Spirit itself because that's what we learned in um chapter 6 is that seven men were chosen who were [72:24] full of the Holy Spirit right Philip himself had the Holy Spirit but when he baptized he couldn't pass it along right [72:32] so then he had to call somebody else out and watch what [72:38] happens then laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit and when Simon saw that through laying on of [72:45] the Apostles hands of the Holy Spirit was given he offered them money saying give me also this power that on [72:51] whomsoever I lay hands he may receive the holy spirit so you see who has the power to pass along the Holy [72:58] Spirit it was the apostles right now it's not only the [73:04] apostles we gon to see examples of people who are not Apostles able to do it as well but in this scenario Philip [73:11] couldn't do it even though he had the Holy Spirit he couldn't just baptize somebody and then they get the Holy [73:16] Spirit from him right on the apostles had to come in this scenario and had to [73:21] baptize them and then the Holy Spirit transferred onto these individuals so much so that Simon when he saw it was [73:27] like yo look I got some money you know I'm say I've been making money a lot of money in these parts I got some money I [73:33] pay you but give me that power you know what I'm saying what what you doing what you know how you gave them the only like [73:39] show me how to do that you know what I'm saying like like like show me how to make somebody start seeing visions and [73:46] start speaking in tongues and and and and just have like this unique understanding and this this vision and [73:52] this dream immediately like like show me how to do that you know what I'm saying because that's some real power that I [73:58] can make some use of so now watch how they responded watch how Peter responded but Peter said unto him thy money perish [74:04] with thee because thou Hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money thou H has neither part nor lot in [74:09] this matter for thy heart is not right in the sight of God repent therefore of this thy wickedness and pray God if [74:16] perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee for I perceive that you [74:21] are in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity then answered Simon and said pray ye to the Lord for me that [74:27] none of these things which you have spoken come upon me and they when they had testified and preached the word of [74:33] the Lord returned unto Jerusalem and preached the gospel in many villages and of the [74:39] Samaritans and the angel of the Lord spake unto philli saying arise go toward the South unto the way that goeth down [74:45] from Jerusalem unto Gaza which is in the desert and he arose and went and behold a man of Ethiopia a unic of great [74:52] Authority Under Candice Queen of the Ethiopians who had the charge of all their treasure and had come to Jerusalem [74:59] for to worship was returning and sitting in his Chariot reading Isaiah the prophet then the spirit so now the who [75:07] who told philli to go that way the most high right a angel told him [75:14] like yeah go this way then the spirit carried them off right it's important to understand [75:20] these details because it's showing you how God works right you got a man riding [75:25] in a chariot reading the book of Isaiah and this man is about to ask like man he been sitting here praying like man I I [75:32] just need somebody to show me what this mean the angel came to Phillip and The [75:38] Spirit came Phil carry Phillip away at any point that angel and that Spirit could have went right up to right up to [75:44] the the uh uh what's his name the the the unit yeah what's his name he got a [75:50] name don't he uh's my man's name his name is uh [75:59] it don't say it don't say his name okay you know what I'm saying but he could have went up to the unit you know what [76:05] I'm saying he could have said something the the angel could have said something to him himself like yo y yo you know what I'm saying let me tell you what that mean what you read that's talking [76:12] about yahua the spirit could have just came into him and it could have revealed the understanding to him right away like [76:19] oh this talking about yahua but it didn't why do I mention that because a [76:25] lot of times in Christianity we were taught that oh well you know what brother somebody be trying to tell you [76:30] the truth like no you got to look at the book The X Y and Z is say this now you got to stop believing this you got to [76:36] turn away from this this that another well you know I'm just G I'm just gonna sit on it and pray to the most high God [76:43] and um I'm just gonna wait until God moves on my soul and reveals it to [76:48] me right that's a heck of an expectation when you got a man right here riding in [76:55] The Chariot reading the scripture praying to the most high God revealed his understanding to me and the spirit [77:01] didn't come to him the angel didn't come to him but guess who did a [77:09] disciple a a man a disciple came to him and he's about to teach it to him right [77:16] that is the expect I'm not saying that it's impossible for the most high God to reveal himself to you or all I'm saying [77:21] is you should not have the expectation that the most high God is going to [77:27] miraculously open up your brain without somebody teaching you I'm not saying it can't happen I'm [77:34] saying that should not be your expectation there's no reason for it to be because you don't have that example [77:41] in the book what you have in the book after yahua died and you dealing with [77:48] disciples you have the spirit moving a individual to go teach another [77:53] individual watch this keep going [77:58] and Philip ran there to him and heard him read the prophet [78:04] Isaiah and said understandest thou what thou readest right so he ran into him in [78:09] the chair he like y yo you know what you're reading what the man say and he [78:15] said how can I except some man should guide [78:21] me right his mindset is already like how am I supposed to understand this me [78:26] listen he not ashamed he not trying to pretend like he know it all he saying [78:32] how would you expect Zar you're not on the phone are you he said how would you expect me to [78:40] understand this unless somebody taught it to me unless somebody broke it down to me [78:47] and helped me understand it how would you even expect me to know what I'm [78:52] reading that is the expectation that we should have is that somebody should have [78:57] to break this stuff down to us now if you ain't got somebody to break it down [79:04] right if you find yourself in a position where it's like Noah he's a sinner I'm not gonna listen to him this man be [79:11] cussing and L ain't gonna listen to him you know what I'm saying I know he teaching it wrong I ain't gonna listen to him then it is better for you to read [79:19] the book because you have to understand also the people who wrote This Book are teaching you they wrote it down to teach [79:26] you so don't make it so it's not the same it's not the same when when we're reading the New Testament it is teaching [79:35] right what we're reading in the New Testament is going back and taking the scriptures that were Mysteries and then [79:40] they try to bring understanding so just by reading the the epistle letters you are being taught by someone the most [79:47] high God will and can move through that teaching that's exactly how this thing is set up right it's set up so don't [79:54] don't think that you can't just read this book and get an understanding but also don't think that if you don't [80:00] understand it after reading the book that a man of God is not supposed to come to you and talk to you and when the [80:06] man of God is talking to you you need to consider it right you need to consider it you [80:12] need to weigh it and say is what he's saying correct or not because that could be the answer to your prayers while you [80:19] sitting there praying like God I just I just want you to reveal yourself to me and help me understand the scripture [80:26] help me understand what I'm reading because I really find it difficult man of God pop up to you like hey you [80:32] understand what you reading you turn around to him like oh well you know God gives me all understanding shut your [80:37] darn butt up you just got done praying ask for understanding but it be that Pride [80:45] that's in people we don't want to we don't want to say we need help we don't want to get nobody the the idea that [80:50] they know more than us or anything that stuff is silly if you need help ask for it and get it ask the question challenge [80:58] the brother or a sister that's teaching challenge me let's talk about it let's [81:03] figure it out right because at the end of the day every one of us has to come in the same [81:09] way every one of us we all got to come in the exact same way watch what the book say keep [81:20] going and he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him in the place of the scripture which he read was [81:26] this he was led as the SLE sheep to the slaughter and like a lamb dumb before his Shearer so opened he not his mouth [81:33] in his humiliation his judgment was taken away and who shall declare his generation for the life is taken from [81:39] the Earth from his for his life is taken from the earth and the unic answered Philip and said I pray thee of whom [81:44] speaketh the Prophet this of himself or some other [81:50] man so so now the man he said listen so who is he talking about is he talking talking about himself or is he talking [81:56] about some you know what I'm saying some other other person right and if y'all remember if y'all those those that are [82:03] you know what I'm saying those that that that's that's reading the Bible in the year a lot of the people that's reading in our Bible group they ask these same [82:10] type of questions when we reading through the scripture we reading through the prophets they be like okay so hold [82:15] on is this talking about yahua or is this one talking about is he talking about itself here or is this talking about this person is this talking about [82:22] because that is the n like this stuff is normal I I want I just want y'all to [82:28] understand that when y'all read through this scripture and when y'all are H having discussions with people and when [82:33] y'all having debates or arguments none of this stuff is new right the same [82:38] feelings that we have the same thoughts that we have it's the same thing that was going on 2,000 years ago right [82:46] because this is how it set up the most high God designed it to be this way [82:51] right so when you don't understand the scripture don't look at it like that's abnormal like you're unnatural like like [82:58] the most high God hasn't done something for you or you don't have it in your heart to become a disciple one day like [83:04] don't look at it that way look at it as oh this is the same obstacle that every [83:09] person that is going to be in the Kingdom had to go through every single person that is [83:15] going to end up in the Kingdom had to pass this step this first test the first test is what the heck am I reading [83:25] who is this talking about is this talking about him like is that Isaiah talking about himself or is Isaiah talking about some other man right and [83:32] watch what philli [83:40] do then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same scripture and preached unto him yahua and as they went on their [83:46] way they came into a certain water so hold on so I just want y'all to understand what that mean he said he he [83:52] began at this same place and started to preach to him yahua so it's not giving the details but what I imagine Philip is [84:00] doing oh he lighting his butt up he said okay so you see what this is talking about all right so now let me Swift you [84:06] over here do you got what other books you got over there you got Jeremiah okay let me show you what Jeremiah said you got you what you got you got Ezekiel [84:12] okay let me show you what Ezekiel said let me take you over to am you ain't got Amos okay I just quoted I ain't got a [84:17] copy of it but let me tell you what Amos said Amos said this that and another so he's telling them all these things that [84:23] testify yahushua then he tells him about what actually happened okay so about a month or so ago [84:29] yahushua was actually walking around here he was the one they ended up killing him no swear to look they killed [84:36] him right we always we was looking at him like no you can't do that this that and other they did it [84:43] anyway K you not my man rose again three days later right rose again three days [84:49] later got up everybody looking like this is crazy this is the gospel right so [84:54] from that point he preached the gospel to him and was trying to explain to him exactly how this thing play out right [85:02] and when he heard it uh when he heard it you know what I'm [85:07] saying let's see what he said you still there t yeah okay just making [85:16] sure keep going watch [85:21] this and and that's they went on their way they came to a certain water and the unic said see here is water what hinders [85:28] me from being baptized right so he taught him about the baptism he taught him everything that was required he just [85:35] went he did gave him the rundown of everything from starting right there at Isaiah right and then when the man saw [85:42] water notice Philip didn't come to him saying you need to be baptized he just [85:47] told him what's required it is required for everybody to be back he didn't try to a lot of these Christians be begging [85:53] be won't you come won't you come now brother sister you came and sat down do you accept Jesus Christ in your heart as [86:00] your lord and savior all right but then I want you to get baptized next Sunday you think you ready for that no that's [86:07] not what he did what he said is look this what's required of all men you know what I'm saying repent from all sin that [86:13] lead to death right um love your neighbor as yourself love the most high God and you got to get baptized so then [86:19] a man walking by and he see some they driving by a little river a little Lake he looking like put some water right [86:25] there what's preventing me from getting baptized right now watch [86:40] this you there he said if oh my bad and philli [86:46] said if thou believe with all thine heart thou May and he answered and said I believe that yahu the Messiah is the [86:52] Son of God and he commanded The Chariot to stand still and they went down both into water both Philip and the unic and [86:59] they Bap and he baptized them when they were come up out of the water the spirit of the spirit of Yahweh caught away [87:05] Phillip and the unic saw him no more and went on his way rejoicing but Philip was found at AOS aotus and passing through [87:15] he pre and passing through he preached in all the cities till he came to cesaria right so then he went on to [87:21] cesaria so now Phillip he's gone all the way from Jerusalem into [87:28] ciceria right and ciceria I think is like like in uh like in siden you know [87:35] what I'm saying it's like way it's way up North but it's no longer in Israel he's no longer in Israel right so he's [87:41] far far far away from home but part of part of the reason why this is happening is because people like Paul or Saul is [87:48] chasing him out of Jerusalem so he's just moving along and as he moves along [87:54] he's teaching people the gospel he running into somebody else teaching them the gospel these are Gentiles these are [87:59] not people from Israel he just these are people that now now don't just don't [88:04] just it's very you gotta you got to be very precise although these are Gentiles [88:09] and although these are not people from our nation you look at this example this is [88:15] one person who was already reading the scripture so it ain't like he just running into random random people on the [88:22] street and he telling them hey hey please believe in yahua you know what I'm saying he ain't handing out [88:28] pamphlets to random people that's drunk walking down on the Strip right what he's doing is he's [88:34] identifying people who are interested in the most high God people who are asking questions about what he believes and [88:40] what he what he's saying people who are asking questions about the most high God themselves who's reading this scripture [88:47] like man I don't know what this means right so when you look at this [88:53] that is what's driving him to talk to these different people and as he talks to him he shares Spirit God a moving on [88:59] and he made his way all the way to ciceria is that the end of this chapter yeah that's the end all right so [89:07] in the next chapter we not g we not gonna start it now because the next chapter it's gonna get you back to Saul [89:13] so Saul is gonna have a vision and Saul like Saul we G to talk a little bit [89:19] about Saul's history and his past but Saul who later becomes known as Paul [89:25] right he's going to end up having a vision that's going to open him up you [89:30] know what I'm saying once he has a vision yahua is going to present himself to him [89:36] directly right in a special way and that's gon to open up his understanding so we'll talk about that but then [89:42] remember Philip is also in ciceria so then we're going to get back to Peter [89:48] who also ends up coming to ceria later right so we'll talk about that we'll talk about that in the uh next week [89:55] y'all willing uh for now I'll talk to whoever joins the fellowship call we'll talk about on the uh the fellowship call [90:02] we'll uh talk a little bit more about the law like we got some questions about the law so we'll talk a little bit about [90:07] that if you want to know more you want to get more in detail about the relationship of the law um I have a [90:13] feeling that'll be a topic tomorrow that we can kind of Deep dive into and look into based off of what we looked at [90:19] today so each each time something about the law comes up we kind of discuss it on our call a little bit more so now we [90:26] have a little bit more that came up today and then maybe about two or three weeks even more is gonna come up and [90:32] it's gonna be a big topic probably on the fellowship call after that so we keep going over it because we get [90:38] introduced to new angles right introduced to new arguments new things that are happening in the scripture and [90:44] in the epistle letters which then enlightens us and gives us another perspective to talk about it with so uh [90:52] Fellowship call be tomorrow 4:00 um Pacific time um you know send [90:58] something out to to to me or one of the brothers if you want to uh if you want to join one of the brothers or sisters [91:04] if you want to join other than that let's uh any
