stick your finger somewhere and you just tell me where we land whole book good this is isaiah chapter 12 [04:53] verse one watch the book say and in that day you shall say o lord i will praise thee though you was angry with me your anger [05:00] is turned away and you comforted me oh the most high god was angered with us but guess what at some point his anger [05:07] turned away and then what'd he do to us behold god is my salvation what'd he do to it though after his anger turned away [05:14] it's right there in front behold god is my son what did he do he said your anger turned away comforted me and you comforted me [05:23] it's important to understand what we're dealing with the type of god we did he [05:28] said okay what we got right there is leviticus chapter 26 that i just want to make sure we understand we have so we're [05:34] coming back to uh isaiah chapter 12 and then we still got to figure out where male gonna land her darn finger but we [05:40] gotta go to uh leviticus chapter 26 and then once we get to leviticus chapter 26 i think i want about what i want the [05:47] 49th chapter like the 39th chapter i'll let you know i mean not chapter uh verse [05:54] i think i want like the 39th or the 49th i don't know why some some nine at the end might be 29 30 [06:01] 39 what i want no no you said 49 49 maybe it don't go to 49. okay so i want [06:06] 29 maybe if it ain't 39 it ain't 20 no 29 what that said hold on [06:12] you know what i'm looking for right yeah [06:17] chapter 26 leviticus chapter 26 and we're trying to figure out which verse is going to be [06:24] because he said very clearly in isaiah chapter 12 verse 1 he said man yo angry [06:29] 40. is chapter 40 what i want not 39 [06:34] we can start the 39 all right let me see let me see if we talk cause 39 came to mind let me see the 39th with uh where i [06:40] want to start this leviticus right now we're going back to isaiah but this is leviticus chapter 26 verse 39. watch the [06:47] book say and they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies lands and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they [06:53] pawn away with them look we going to be in our enemies land where we are right now and our enemies [07:01] how do people not gonna be our enemy they whipped us and made a slave height people not gonna be our enemy they they they redlined us in the in the [07:08] neighborhood that was unfavorable they put us on the west side over here right they put us on the west side over here [07:13] cause the water is bad and it was lead everywhere you understand that like that's the [07:19] reason why they put us here this is an unfavorable part of town they said okay well y'all can be over there in the west side y'all figure it out [07:25] over there we have businesses right here on the strip to downtown right [07:31] they said night he came out we gonna have to take we gonna take that from you you know what i'm saying matter of fact y'all can't handle businesses over here [07:37] you got a deal over there in the west you want to get approved for any business license unless it's on the west [07:44] everything we had and then again what we build our businesses over here and what they do [07:49] take them let ourselves get ran to the ground took it and bought it from us or bought it from the state when we [07:55] defaulted right how that's not our enemy [08:01] it's not the land of our enemy keep going watch this [08:06] if they shall confess their iniquity in the iniquity of their fathers with their trespassers they trespassed against me [08:13] and that also they have walked contrary unto me okay and that i also have walked contrary unto them and i also have done [08:19] what walk contrary unto them it is a huge part of it we have to acknowledge [08:25] that the most high god has walked contrary to us right let's go back i just wanted to get that [08:31] i just wanted to make sure that y'all understood that when it comes to repentance part of that repentance is acknowledging oh god you was angry with [08:39] me would you gonna put isaiah chapter 12 verse one in more context for us [08:44] this is what the man is doing because he didn't get comforted by god just because god oh i loved you from [08:50] birth and you a good christian that don't make no darn sense [08:55] if you ain't never read leviticus chapter 26 verse 40 you wouldn't know why god would comfort him [09:03] but now we know where god would come from because he admitted man god you what conquered contrary to me but first [09:08] i walk contrary to you what was the order we just read in leviticus chapter 26 who was supposed to [09:15] admit that they walk contrary first god or the man the man [09:20] i walk contrary to you and you walk contrary to me contrary would mean against yep [09:28] watch it i mean this is uh isaiah chapter 12 verse one watch the book in that day you [09:34] shall say o lord i will praise thee though you was angry with me your anger is turned away and you comforted me i [09:40] will praise thee you were angry with me i admit that [09:46] ep one admitted to the day oh i tell you what i did messed up now and i'm still a sinner i'm still trying [09:52] but god ain't done with me let me tell you i'm god's project god loves me i [09:57] might be a sinner and i might not be perfect but guess what i love me [10:03] god look this girl wrote on facebook god love him some me i said good night [10:09] i said y'all don't know no darn book y'all just say whatever y'all want to say out here [10:16] whatever just come crop up that dark mouth for you all you just say whatever you don't want to say [10:23] no say god love you don't put that evil on him keep going watch this [10:29] behold god is my salvation i will trust and not be afraid for the lord yahuwah is my strength and my song he also has [10:37] become my salvation uh-huh therefore with joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation and in that day shall [10:43] you say praise yahuwah call upon his name declare his doings among the people make mention that his name is exalted [10:50] seeing unto yahuwah for he has done excellent things this is known in all the earth cry out and shout thou inhabiting of [10:57] zion for great is the holy one of israel in the midst of thee that's right i appreciate the most high god [11:04] um what you got mel where you land your finger where are you land your finger at [11:10] let me see oh oh no no i want something up i'll take [11:17] it what you add up you remember what you as isaiah chapter what [11:23] 61 that's good too let me see give me something though [11:35] jude we'll take it do what it's only one [11:41] this is jude verse 5. watch this [11:47] there's a jude verse 5. i'll take it i like them little books you know i'm saying don't nobody ever touch [11:53] you know they'll never touch no darn dude i like them little books [12:00] huh oh yeah no they definitely already told that hospital gonna be named you [12:06] and that let me tell you you're gonna have the saint jude hospital now that's crazy if you want that somebody gonna get healed [12:14] i will therefore put you in remembrance though you once knew this how that the lord having saved the people out of the [12:21] land of egypt afterward destroyed them that believe not what does that mean for us [12:28] he said i'm going to put you in for me i'm going to remind you but now that mozart died brought a whole bunch of [12:34] people out of egypt and as soon as he did that what did he do to him killed that but right in the wilderness it was they didn't believe [12:41] what's wrong with you you right here in your mind thinking that oh wow god delivered me once saved [12:48] always saved no it's the grace of god [12:55] and what paul told you he's like man do you think he's at wherever great wherever sin is grace abounds more right [13:02] then he said does that mean that we should sin so that grace may increase [13:08] he said god forbid because how can we who have been dead to [13:14] sin continue any therein continue in it [13:23] hey if y'all gonna be in here what do y'all have to do is this something that we have to go [13:29] over every week put every paper up put every pen up and y'all sit y'all butts down and listen [13:42] we have to ask ourselves why in the world don't we get this stuff [13:53] right it's laid out for us what is it that's keeping us from getting it [14:01] maybe it's like what paul uh it's a shot in the dark help me out though [14:06] uh ephesians chapter [14:14] uh six i feel like this ain't right but let's try ephesians chapter six [14:27] i'm looking for uh spiritual forces in high places [14:36] that's it that's it [Music] [14:50] this is ephesians chapter six give me verse 10. finally my brothers be strong in the [14:56] lord and in the power of his might put on the whole armor of god that you may be able to stand against the wiles of [15:02] the devil for we wrestle not with flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the [15:07] darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places wherefore take [15:13] unto you the whole armor of god that you may be able to withstand in the evil day now what's happening done all to stand [15:19] mm-hmm stand for stand there for having your loins gird with truth okay and having on [15:25] the breastplate of righteousness that's right and your feet shod with the pay attention of the gospel of peace so pay [15:30] attention to the imagery that he's given he's saying your loins is going to be girded with truth [15:36] all right so he said by being honest right by understanding the truth of [15:41] things it's almost as if preparing you to have everything nicely [15:47] tucked and strapped together so that you can move around freely right that's when you gird up your loins [15:54] the reason why you do that is so that you can be more agile you can move around freely you're more comfortable [16:00] right so he's telling you that truth is gonna help you move around freely [16:05] when you know that what you all right if you gotta tell a whole bunch of lies you comfortable no no no [16:13] but when you tell the truth when you know it like i ain't ashamed and this is who i am and it's the truth you comfortable [16:19] you can move around right watch what he say next [16:26] add your feet and your feet no back up stand therefore having your loins gird about with truth uh-huh and having on [16:32] the breastplate of righteousness so now the breastplate of righteousness what does the breastplate protect your chest [16:39] your chest what's in your chest your heart right so now when the book tells us that [16:45] the things that a man does comes from the heart right if you're righteous what's coming from [16:51] your heart right righteousness that protects your heart [16:58] where the things of evil can't end up coming from your heart because you got a breastplate of righteousness right [17:04] impenetrable all right let's watch this keep going and your feet shod with the preparation [17:11] of the gospel of peace [Music] you remember you remember ah we ain't [17:17] got to get it we ain't got to get it so you remember you remember uh when david's son that too [17:23] that too right so you remember peter and and the other disciple you know i'm saying uh went to the went to the uh [17:30] tomb to see yahshua went to the sepulcher right and then after they saw [17:37] right or heard about them they ran back and one ran faster than the other [17:44] right one beat peter out because that's the feet of right the the [17:51] righteousness i mean the uh the gospel makes you run makes you run and go tell it mm-hmm [17:58] right good news it's good news and just like the brother was saying the the good titans that were uh that [18:05] were brought by uh by david after his son absalom was died [18:10] uh killed right it was good news that the war was over [18:16] and guess what happened there one messenger ran faster than the other one and passed him up [18:22] because that good news makes you go right it's something that's going to hit you [18:27] hit the ground running when we learn this stuff and it's time for us to get it out we hit the ground running we [18:33] walking we move it right watch this above all taking the shields of faith wherewith you shall be able to quench [18:39] all the fiery darts of the wicked right so the shield of faith right so when [18:45] stuff is coming at you you gotta believe you protect it you gotta believe man it's gonna be all [18:51] right that ends up blocking all the stuff that you that would that would threaten you being all right [18:57] right so that's the shield of faith watch this [19:05] where with you may be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked now watch this take the helmet of salvation and [19:10] the sword of the spirit which is the word of god you got the helmet of salvation [19:16] right it's like a crown right that protects your head [19:22] right protects your essence right this is the mark the first thing you're going to see on somebody is going [19:29] to be the helmet right that's the mark let you know oh yeah now he's saying [19:35] right the helm and the salvation and then the last one is what the sword [19:40] and take the what the sword of the spirit which is the word of god the sword [19:47] of the spirit so now let's break all these down before we get to which is the word of god let's [19:52] break all these down you have the helmet of salvation right you have the breastplate of [19:58] righteousness you have the what was on the feet uh the fee shot with the gospel of peace you got the shoes of of god of [20:05] of the gospel right loins with the with truth right and you [20:11] girded up your loins with truth so you have truth gospel [20:16] um righteousness righteousness peace peace no not peace gospel of peace right [20:22] gospel of peace yeah so not peace so what's my other one salvation shield of faith [20:28] the hell i'm going to say and faith right so you got all these these are these are you know [20:34] they're they're characterized as as armament right but what we're actually [20:39] talking about is faith gospel you know i'm saying salvation [20:44] um um right righteousness right and then the last one he throws in there [20:51] is the sword of the spirit so what are we talking about really the word of god spirit now we talk about spirit right [20:58] so we talk about spirit spirit so the spirit goes right up there with faith [21:03] right goes right up there with salvation goes right up there with the gospel right these are all categories that he's [21:10] turning into armor right or you know equipment for war right [21:17] and the spirit is one of them but then he gives you an additional level of description on the spirit and [21:24] says which is the word of god so the sword [21:30] is a representation of the spirit and he's telling you another way of looking at the spirit [21:38] is the word that is important for us to know [21:44] there's a lot of people out here that will be like oh i got the spirit of [21:50] god i'm spiritual right god's spirit is talking to me [21:58] oh so you know the word then [22:04] those same people might look at somebody like us and they'll say [22:09] you know what they say you know what [22:14] y'all see y'all looking to too much into that book hey what they say they do say that [22:21] though they're like man look y'all look too much into the book see y'all [22:26] y'all don't understand that god kind of have to have a personal relationship with you [22:31] in other words what they're saying is you gotta have some type of spiritual spiritual connection with god outside of [22:37] what the books say which that runs contrary [22:42] the book is a spirit if you want spirit guess what you got to do [22:47] read the book it's that simple that don't sound as fancy to people people like the idea come here man let [22:54] me show you let me show you what people like let me tell you what people want to see um let me show you [22:59] come here you've been in church before yeah now mail [23:05] i just want you to know that i am laying on you the spirit [23:10] the spirit of power and righteousness [23:16] right and then you fall all out you know you start crumping in front of [23:22] the whole thing you know what i mean you know everybody you know everybody like that type of thing you get to doing all [23:27] that wild stuff oh everybody like that they look at that and they say oh it's powered man [23:33] lord moving in here but if you take what the book say write out the book we reading it ourselves [23:41] philip they make this up it's telling you that the spirit is the word [23:47] so if i walk up and i say man i got my sword everybody listen right [23:52] if i say oh i got the word of god everybody will listen right and i say [23:57] who the spirit of god it's the spirit of god everybody [24:03] that's book though we just read it ourselves people ain't got no darn spirit [24:11] these people are liars best case scenario they just ignorant [24:17] it's a lot of that too and i have sympathy for that i have listen [24:23] i get mad and i get frustrated with this stuff but let me tell you i got sympathy for the fact that man we just don't know who gonna teach [24:31] who gonna teach us but y'all have to also work with me right [24:37] y'all also have to have it in your head that i know i'm being lied to just be honest [24:42] with yourself like i know i'm being lied to sure [24:48] sure i like the person that's lying to me yeah but i know i'm being lied to and then when i show you something in the [24:54] book just give it an honest consideration forget who told you something different [24:59] forget how much you respect forget i know this is the same pastor your grandma love forget all that stuff right [25:06] i mean my whole family been baptist okay forget all that stuff let's just look at the book what does it [25:13] say let's go with it then right if we can't do that man we ain't [25:19] gonna go nowhere right let's go back to jude [25:25] where we leave off in june chapter five i mean verse five it's ju verse five watch what the book [25:31] says [25:39] [Applause] i will therefore put you in remembrance though you once knew this how that the [25:46] lord having saved the people out of the land of egypt afterward destroyed them that believe not [25:51] and the angels which kept not their first estate but left their own habitation he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto [25:58] the judgment of the great day okay even as sodom and gomorrah in the cities [26:03] about them in like men are giving themselves over for fornication to fornication and going after strange [26:09] flesh are set forth for an example suffering the vengeance of eternal fire likewise also these filthy dreamers [26:16] defile the flesh despise dominion and speak evil of dignities yet michael the archangel when [26:22] contending with the devil he disputed about the body of moses did not bring against him a railing [26:28] accusation but said yahuwah will rebuke you right so here look michael wasn't even look [26:34] he's talking about people that speak evil of dignities right in other words speak evil of these of these heavenly [26:40] bodies right it's important for us to know there's a lot of stuff out there that we don't know [26:46] right most like god reveal some stuff to it there's a lot of stuff out there we don't know we don't understand these [26:51] people trying to fly up to space they don't know what they dealing with look we'll see right we're gonna see how it [26:56] play out what's gonna happen what happens to these people right but it's a lot of stuff going on that we [27:03] don't know and we don't understand right it's people that will speak evil of [27:08] these things but he gave us the example that even michael [27:14] right didn't speak evil of the devil he only said yahuwah rebuked you [27:22] he went bringing him like i rebuked you he didn't look like you he told on them [27:29] all right man yeah get your boy yeah [27:37] however is that our testimony this old testament right that we read right now that was [27:42] new it's new testament so you mean tell me all these super christian new testament creatures out here rebuking the devil [27:51] even though michael the archangel that we've been told about in the new testament by jude who is an apostle [27:57] he telling us he wouldn't even speak he won't say [28:04] he's ain't no god gonna get you that's all he said [28:11] these people ain't even got the nerves to say the lord rebuke you [28:17] they tell they to satan get behind me like they jesus [28:23] you know about what's wrong with these people because this is book [28:31] i didn't just put this stuff here it's been here the whole time you chose jude you did a good job keep [28:37] going watch this we keep read through this whole thing well these speak evil of those things which they know not but [28:43] what they know naturally as brute beasts and those things they corrupt themselves [28:48] woe unto them for they have gone in the way of cain and ran greedily after the era of bayalim for reward and perished [28:54] in the game saying of course these are spots in your feasts of charity when they feast with you feeding [29:01] themselves without fear clouds they are without water carried about of winds [29:07] trees whose fruit withers without fruit twice dead plucked up by the roots raising waves of the sea foaming out of [29:14] their own shame wandering stars to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever let's grab uh [29:21] let's grab uh the second epistle of john [29:27] this second john there's only one chapter in that two [29:32] i think yeah let's grab second john let's try to grab a couple of the book that don't nobody [29:38] touch [Applause] [29:48] the elder unto the elect lady and her children my love and the truth and not i only but also all they that have faith [29:55] that know the truth that know the truth for the truth's sake which dwells in us and shall be with us forever grace be [30:02] with you mercy and peace from god the father and from the lord yahushua the messiah the son of the father and truth [30:09] and love i rejoice greatly that i found of thy children walking in truth as we have [30:14] received the commandment from the father and now i beseech thee lady not as though i wrote a new commandment unto [30:20] thee that which we have from the beginning that we love one another and this is love that we walk after his [30:26] commandments this is the commandment that as you have heard from the beginning you should walk in it that's right [30:32] for many deceivers are entered into the world who confess not that yahshua has come in the flesh this is a deceiver and [30:38] an antichrist look unto yourselves that we lose not those things which we have [30:44] wrought but that we receive a full reward whosoever transgress and abides not in [30:50] the doctrine of the messiah has not god that's period whosoever what [30:55] transgresses and abides not in the doctrine of the messiah does not have god [31:01] that got that this is clear it's not like it's not like i just made this up [31:06] or just put this here this stuff has been here for years he telling you if [31:12] you sin you do not have god [31:18] keep going watch this if there come any of you wait he that [31:26] abides in the doctrine of the messiah he has both the father and the son if there come any of you and bring not [31:32] this doctrine receive him not into your house neither bid him god speed why do you think i'm gonna be playing [31:37] with these people look it's a look it's a lot of sadie [31:43] people argue about polygamy right these people argue about [31:48] uh you know i'm saying what they can eat and what they don't eat and all this stuff i'm telling you the man said if [31:55] these people don't understand sin if you sin you are without god [32:02] if you do the will of the father then you had a son and the father [32:08] and if anybody come to you saying anything different don't deal with them don't accept them [32:14] into your house [32:19] that's the part that these people arguing about silly stuff in comparison to this [32:25] but guess what that's not the fun stuff it's fun talking about polygamy now [32:32] right it's fun talking about that stuff don't nobody want to talk about the fact that oh no [32:37] i mean everybody's seen and everybody going to hell too [32:43] right if everybody's sin and everybody keep saying and guess what everybody going to hell [32:49] because if you sin you don't have god period [32:58] that's right he said don't let listen he said don't let nobody deceive you [33:04] you don't think about don't let nobody deceive you if you sin you are of the devil [33:12] period same person that wrote it this is uh [33:18] this is uh give me joshua chapter 20. it's joshua chapter 20 verse one [33:35] choose this day [33:57] yeah a lot of stuff is just not black and white for people they've been made to feel like oh it's not black and white it's a big gray area [34:03] and you know that's where people like to operate in the gray area because can't nobody tell them for sure you know what [34:08] i'm saying that you're you're a sinner and you're going to hell you know i'm saying you don't want nobody to be able to tell you that for [34:14] sure when you're a center you want to operate in the gray area the gray area you know another word for that is [34:20] darkness right because then when the bible speaks of darkness it's not directly a lot of [34:25] times it's not directly talking about sin it's just talking about not being able to see [34:30] yeah unaware right and when you not being when you're not able to see that's where sin [34:36] can be activated because it's like sin don't want to be seen so they want to go they want to find the [34:42] gray areas and they want to find the loopholes they want to find the parts where people can't see [34:47] because it wants to hide you get to shedding some light on it then people resist it so just know as we [34:53] start to live our lives and we start to make decisions that are consistent with the book when we start to change our [34:59] lives when we start to separate ourselves from people and things that that don't represent the most high god [35:06] when we change our practices when we change the holidays that we celebrate right all these things that we start to [35:11] do when we change our behavior when we stop sinning when we stop cussing when we stop lying when we stop stealing when [35:16] we stop cheating when we stop all these different things stop killing and fighting and and and back biting and gossiping and [35:23] all these different things that we stop doing when all those things stop it threatens people because we become a [35:31] light at that point right just by simply stopping [35:36] we become a light a spiritual light to people that expose the people that's why [35:42] people say oh man that's why we don't get invited to nothing no more [35:48] right we got friends good friends still friends with them too you know what one of them just had a look [35:55] he just had a birthday we invited all they all came to his birthday right [36:00] one of them just had his birthday had a dinner just like his birthday why we didn't go [36:07] really why we ain't there that's not to say that i i get it in [36:13] real life it's what i want to do with my birthday listen [36:18] what i want to do when my birthday come on y'all i don't want to be there [36:24] you know a little too much light being [36:30] right we have to understand that [36:37] people supposed to resist what we talking about that's normal [36:42] that's normal [36:47] this is uh matthew chapter five give me verse one we didn't do joshua [36:54] we'll come back to it matthew chapter 5 verse 1. then we'll come back to joshua what did i say joshua what 20. [37:00] and then after that it's going to be joshua chapter 20 verse 1. in matthew chapter 5 verse 1 real quick [37:06] let's just let's just see what he's talking about i'm gonna try to wrap this up and do a quick night we gotta get mailed to bed [37:13] huh and seeing the multitudes he went up into a mountain and when he was set his disciples came unto him uh-huh and [37:20] he opened his mouth and taught them saying blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven he said blessed are the poor in spirit [37:26] because there's the kingdom of heaven blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted okay let's start the [37:33] meek for they shall inherit the earth blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they [37:38] shall be filled blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy bless other pure in heart for they shall [37:44] see god blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of god blessed are they which are persecuted [37:51] for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven blessed are you when men shall revile [37:56] you and persecute you he said blessed are you when men shall what revile you and persecute you and shall say all [38:02] manner of evil against you falsely for my sake rejoice and be exceedingly glad for [38:07] great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you these people are going to [38:13] resist that's all he telling us right here [38:18] he said it's a blessing we have to really accept this mindset all the things people take this and what [38:25] we just read and they kind of read like oh this is beautiful you know it's beautiful look [38:30] look and you know jesus is he's trying to tell us to have a higher mind and all these things right [38:36] but what he's looking at what what he's really telling you right here is he's telling you have to [38:42] excuse me you have to change your mindset right the mindset the natural the natural [38:49] mindset is if you're poor that's bad he's telling you [38:56] don't let that affect you right because blessed if you are poor in [39:03] spirit right [39:09] blessed if people persecute you naturally you get persecuted that makes [39:15] you very sad he's trying to let you look at it a different way he trying to look if you [39:20] doing what i tell you to do and these are the results oh [39:26] buddy that's a blessing on the way right you got something waiting for you you're going to inherit the earth [39:33] you going to see god right it's joshua chapter 20. we you know what [39:40] i'm saying see let's see what we got here see if we can wrap it up after this let's see it's joshua chapter 20. give me verse one let's see what the book say [39:52] the lord also spoke unto joshua saying speaking to the children of israel and say i'll point out for you cities of refuge [40:00] whereof i spake unto you by the hand of moses that the slayer that kills any person [40:06] unawares and unwittingly may flee there and they shall be a refuge from the avenger of blood [40:12] and when he that does flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city and shall [40:17] declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city they shall take him into the city unto them and give him a [40:23] place that he may dwell among them and if the avenger of blood chases after him then they shall not deliver the [40:29] slayer up into his hand because he smote his neighbor unwittingly and hated him not before time [40:36] god gives us one chance when we sin [40:44] he gives us an opportunity it's just like the avenger of blood [40:49] it's almost as if i killed someone by mistake [40:55] if that happens under our law guess what i would have to be taken to what's [41:02] called a city of refuge that's what's being described right here in joshua 20 right a city of refuge it's almost like [41:09] jail right you are going to this city and you have to stay in this city [41:16] right live in the city do whatever you need to do in the city but you have to stay there and you'll be protected while [41:23] you're there but keep reading watch this [41:30] and he shall dwell in that city until he stand before the congregation for judgment and unto the death of the high [41:36] priest that shall be in those days then shall the slayer return and come unto his own city and unto his own house unto [41:43] the city from where he fled and they appointed kadish in galilee in mount naftali in shechem in mount [41:49] ephraim in kiryatharba which is in hebron in the mountains of judah so if he if a man leaves the city [41:58] guess who guess whose fault that is his own that's his own [42:03] if he if a man chooses to leave the city of refuge after accidentally killing [42:08] somebody right then the avenger of blood meaning the person's family member who's upset that [42:15] you killed them they have every right to come kill you [42:20] what we have to understand is when we commit sin [42:26] we got two options we can go to the city of refuge [42:32] or we can go out into the world right [42:37] but everybody who's sin has to make one of those choices when you go into the city of refuge well [42:43] that's obedience to yahushua and as long as you stay in that obedience to yahshua [42:51] you're good to go right [42:56] you are safe you are protected however at any point if you decide to leave that obedience to [43:03] yahshua then the avenger of blood will come get you [43:11] and that avenger of blood is satan it's important that we understand what [43:17] we're dealing with this is not a fairy tale [43:24] this is not something that someone made up this is our lives that are on the line [43:30] and it all comes down and all hinges on sin it's all about [43:36] sin you have to stop seeing it's not it's [43:42] not a negotiation it's not oh let me try my best no no the requirement is [43:48] you have to stop sinning if that doesn't happen no one enters into the kingdom [43:55] there's no way to do it you have not god if you have not stopped sinning completely i'm not talking about [44:03] most scent completely the book is very clear you have to repent from all sin [44:10] when you do that welcome to the city of refuge all right [44:17] any questions yeah you know quick boy i know i heard you [44:23] all right let's pray out
