00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.200
Thank you for always listening to our podcast.

00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:26.899
We hope they are a blessing to your life. this

00:00:26.899 --> 00:00:32.899
house. I love Pastor Daniel. I love this team.

00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:39.399
You guys are family. And I just felt this morning

00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:44.579
when I opened my eyes the first thing. I heard

00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:51.619
that verse, blessed are the pure in heart. For

00:00:51.619 --> 00:00:57.020
they shall see God. And I want to honor your

00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:03.479
purity. When I think about this church, when

00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:08.719
I think about Pastor Daniel, I just think of

00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:18.120
purity. almost offensive servanthood the humility

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.680
you carry I don't think you realize how rare

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:30.760
that is and I just want to honor you each and

00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.090
every one of you And I believe that what's the

00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:38.090
contents of your heart, what's inside of your

00:01:38.090 --> 00:01:44.189
heart, that far outweighs anything that could

00:01:44.189 --> 00:01:50.150
be done on a platform. His eyes aren't searching

00:01:50.150 --> 00:01:56.609
to and fro for the best preachers or for the

00:01:56.609 --> 00:02:00.719
most gifted. or for the ones who have it all

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:07.379
together. He's looking for the pure ones. He's

00:02:07.379 --> 00:02:12.659
looking for pure sacrifices. That he can trust

00:02:12.659 --> 00:02:17.099
with his dreams. And I believe that's who you

00:02:17.099 --> 00:02:24.110
are. So I just want to honor you. When I was

00:02:24.110 --> 00:02:29.270
praying about this morning, Isaac knows I've

00:02:29.270 --> 00:02:31.289
been going back and forth. What do I say? What

00:02:31.289 --> 00:02:36.949
do I talk about? I'm not going to say I'm not

00:02:36.949 --> 00:02:39.250
a preacher because I'm trying to break that lie,

00:02:43.530 --> 00:02:46.090
but I am far more comfortable as a worshiper

00:02:46.090 --> 00:02:52.560
than a preacher. But for some reason the Lord

00:02:52.560 --> 00:03:02.340
would not let me move on from the Nazarite vow.

00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:08.680
Normally I talk about worship. But I felt like

00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:15.020
there was an invitation this morning to a deeper

00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:24.860
lifestyle of consecration. And about holiness.

00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:32.219
I don't know if you're anything like me. Maybe

00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:33.680
you grew up in the church, maybe you didn't.

00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:38.500
but usually when people hear the word holy or

00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:44.740
holiness, there's immediately a reservation.

00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:52.960
Because for me growing up, holiness, that word

00:03:52.960 --> 00:04:01.199
was used as a punishment or a fear tactic. That's

00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:05.960
not how a good Christian woman lives. That's

00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.419
not how someone who's holy lives. And it was

00:04:10.419 --> 00:04:17.160
all about the outward appearance. Or even behavioral

00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:22.560
modification. And God's not after you being a

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:29.079
good church kid. As we were just singing, he's

00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:36.300
an all -consuming fire. And he's looking for

00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:42.720
those who will be holy as he is holy. So a little

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:47.100
bit about my story. I did not grow up in church.

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.029
I'm gonna just... kind of do the rapid fire version

00:04:52.029 --> 00:04:55.870
because there's so many details. But basically

00:04:55.870 --> 00:04:58.610
I grew up in Florida, a little tiny town, Daytona

00:04:58.610 --> 00:05:05.230
Beach. Come on Florida people, I know what you're

00:05:05.230 --> 00:05:10.079
doing here. So I grew up in a single mom household.

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:19.620
My mom's a queen. She is or is a firefighter,

00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:26.639
police officer, corrections officer. She's intense.

00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:33.019
She is amazing though. But I didn't grow up with

00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:38.439
a father in my life. So my dad originally, my

00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.519
mom and my dad, I'm just gonna be really raw

00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:45.579
tonight, that's okay, or this morning. Basically,

00:05:45.660 --> 00:05:52.959
I was the product of a one night stand. My dad

00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:58.019
was told that he was completely infertile. He

00:05:58.019 --> 00:05:59.920
was in between his second and third marriage

00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:07.310
at the time. So when my mom found out that she

00:06:07.310 --> 00:06:12.810
was pregnant, obviously naturally it was like,

00:06:12.990 --> 00:06:17.970
you're crazy. There's no way that's impossible.

00:06:18.110 --> 00:06:23.610
I was told by doctors that I'm infertile So for

00:06:23.610 --> 00:06:26.189
the first four years of my life my dad kept my

00:06:26.189 --> 00:06:33.009
existence a secret And my mom decided to raise

00:06:33.009 --> 00:06:38.829
me on her own I didn't meet my biological father

00:06:38.829 --> 00:06:45.149
until I was four years old. And although I loved

00:06:45.149 --> 00:06:49.610
him when I met him, he was very inconsistent,

00:06:49.750 --> 00:06:56.629
very in and out of my life. And there was a point

00:06:56.629 --> 00:07:00.129
where my mom was like, I can't do this on my

00:07:00.129 --> 00:07:08.110
own, I need help to raise Bailey. So she sent

00:07:08.110 --> 00:07:10.829
word to my grandmother, my crazy grandmother,

00:07:13.790 --> 00:07:15.769
to come and move down to Florida and help raise

00:07:15.769 --> 00:07:21.709
me. Who in here has a crazy Pentecostal grandmother?

00:07:23.850 --> 00:07:28.110
Raise your hand. I know I'm not alone. I just

00:07:28.110 --> 00:07:30.050
want to say, if you have a praying grandmother,

00:07:30.209 --> 00:07:36.519
you're cooked. Just give up now. because her

00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:41.839
prayers are potent. So my grandmother moved down

00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:47.199
and all of a sudden she's raising me. And every

00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.519
day she's literally preaching the gospel to me.

00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:58.319
I remember, even at five, six years old, being

00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.680
woken up to the sound of her weeping in the living

00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:07.579
room at four in the morning. And I actually brought

00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:14.199
her Bible today. Because it's the greatest legacy

00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:19.920
that I have. And so as my grandmother, for years

00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:26.720
and years, praying for me and raising me. There

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.939
came a point where her prayers caught up to me.

00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:34.200
And in middle school, as I'm being dragged to

00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:41.820
church with her, there was a moment when I was

00:08:41.820 --> 00:08:47.649
in eighth grade. where I heard news that my father

00:08:47.649 --> 00:08:53.990
had gotten arrested. He was arrested for sexually

00:08:53.990 --> 00:08:56.730
abusing a couple hundred women or something like

00:08:56.730 --> 00:09:03.470
that. And obviously, that's devastating to hear

00:09:03.470 --> 00:09:10.470
the news of. And that moment for me, it wasn't

00:09:10.470 --> 00:09:16.950
just, oh, well, My dad's arrested, oh well. For

00:09:16.950 --> 00:09:19.690
me, it just solidified the lie that I was already

00:09:19.690 --> 00:09:28.429
carrying, that I was rejected, abandoned. And

00:09:28.429 --> 00:09:31.649
that any hope I had for a father in my life was

00:09:31.649 --> 00:09:38.250
hopeless. And I will never forget the day my

00:09:38.250 --> 00:09:43.169
grandmother looked me in the eyes. And she said,

00:09:43.190 --> 00:09:49.350
you are not fatherless. Before you were formed

00:09:49.350 --> 00:09:57.679
in your mother's womb. He knew you. He saw you.

00:09:58.059 --> 00:10:03.059
He fashioned you. Your destiny was pre -written

00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:09.279
before you ever took your first breath. And at

00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.000
the time I thought, this lady is crazy. She doesn't

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.759
even know what she's talking about. She's just

00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.399
saying that because she's my grandma and she

00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:24.019
has to. But the next thing you know, as an eighth

00:10:24.019 --> 00:10:30.919
grader, I'm being plagued and tormented with

00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:38.820
suicidal thoughts. I was self -harming. Nobody

00:10:38.820 --> 00:10:43.529
knew it. And just to give you a side note, I

00:10:43.529 --> 00:10:51.610
was leading worship. That whole time. That entire

00:10:51.610 --> 00:10:54.509
time I was up on a stage, singing to a God I

00:10:54.509 --> 00:11:01.389
did not know. But all it took was one single

00:11:01.389 --> 00:11:06.529
moment for me. Where I grabbed this exact Bible.

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.600
I got home from school that day after hearing

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:17.799
the news about my father's arrest. And I remember

00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.399
I literally got on the floor and I opened the

00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:25.440
Bible like this and I'm like, just waiting for

00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.320
the sky to split open or something to happen.

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:34.340
And obviously nothing did. And I'm frustrated.

00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.539
I'm like this God that everyone keeps saying

00:11:38.539 --> 00:11:40.840
he's so good. He's so faithful. He's my father.

00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:48.240
Where is he now? I'm sitting there. I say out

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:56.879
loud. If you're real, prove it. And let me just

00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.080
tell you, if you ever pray a prayer like that,

00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:10.750
God's like test me. Try me. So in that moment,

00:12:11.070 --> 00:12:13.730
you know how in scary movies the whole room turns

00:12:13.730 --> 00:12:20.110
colder? And there's like that eerie music and

00:12:20.110 --> 00:12:27.899
it gets darker. It was the opposite for me. All

00:12:27.899 --> 00:12:30.179
of a sudden the room gets like 30 degrees hotter.

00:12:33.419 --> 00:12:38.980
And I feel something shift in the room. And I

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:42.000
had no grid for the presence of God or for, you

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:49.220
know, His presence manifesting. I never even

00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:53.419
read the Bible before. I never even prayed before.

00:12:55.309 --> 00:12:58.029
And all of a sudden, I feel this tangible love

00:12:58.029 --> 00:13:03.809
fill the room. And I felt someone come up behind

00:13:03.809 --> 00:13:12.629
me and bear hug me. And I was terrified. Absolutely

00:13:12.629 --> 00:13:19.429
terrified. But I knew that he was real. And I

00:13:19.429 --> 00:13:24.659
never felt a love like that. I had never felt

00:13:24.659 --> 00:13:29.539
a love like that. It's like it filled up every

00:13:29.539 --> 00:13:34.360
void and every question. It didn't even make

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:39.419
sense. He didn't even have to tell me I am God.

00:13:41.779 --> 00:13:44.080
It was like there was a deep knowing, a deep

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:49.039
longing that this is the one I've been searching

00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:57.450
for. So from that day, I actually went to a Christian

00:13:57.450 --> 00:14:02.950
school at the time because of my grandmother

00:14:02.950 --> 00:14:08.029
and I remember walking up to my teachers and

00:14:08.029 --> 00:14:12.370
the first thing I said to them was hypothetically

00:14:12.370 --> 00:14:15.889
speaking, if this were to happen to you, what

00:14:15.889 --> 00:14:20.080
would you do? And of course my teachers are like,

00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:25.200
did that happen to you? I'm like, no, no, no,

00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.460
just my friend or something. Because I had a

00:14:29.460 --> 00:14:35.320
reputation of being that girl that was rebellious.

00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:40.539
That laughed at other Christians. Even when I

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:42.360
would lead worship, I would think to myself.

00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.659
They look so stupid. They're singing to the walls.

00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:56.440
I have never seen God show up until it happens

00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:02.799
to me. And when I was talking to my teacher,

00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:08.100
what she told me was the same way that you...

00:15:07.870 --> 00:15:12.909
walked into your room and you sat with your Bible

00:15:12.909 --> 00:15:19.490
open and you talked to him. Do that every day.

00:15:21.190 --> 00:15:25.789
I was like, okay, I guess I will. So I quickly

00:15:25.789 --> 00:15:31.529
became addicted to his presence. I didn't know

00:15:31.529 --> 00:15:39.129
what I was doing. There was no There was no pastor

00:15:39.129 --> 00:15:44.610
telling me pray like this, do this. It was me

00:15:44.610 --> 00:15:50.289
in my weakness, in my brokenness, fumbling my

00:15:50.289 --> 00:15:55.950
way through relationship with God. And every

00:15:55.950 --> 00:16:00.789
time he showed up, he didn't split the sky open,

00:16:02.750 --> 00:16:07.500
fired I didn't descend down, but in that small

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:14.220
whisper, in the secret place, where no one knew

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:19.000
me except him, where no one's eyes were on me

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:29.019
but his, he changed everything. Literally everything.

00:16:29.500 --> 00:16:34.110
So the very next year, Because of my dad's arrest,

00:16:35.330 --> 00:16:37.850
my mom could no longer afford child support.

00:16:41.230 --> 00:16:44.669
So all of a sudden, I'm being sent to a public

00:16:44.669 --> 00:16:52.929
school. Although I was not a believer, at the

00:16:52.929 --> 00:16:57.600
time that I went to the private school, all of

00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.539
a sudden my little Christian bubble is being

00:16:59.539 --> 00:17:08.039
popped. So now I'm at a school with 3 ,000 people.

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:13.299
But this time I'm burning. This time I'm in love.

00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:18.619
And I remember the very first day of my high

00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:24.680
school years. I prayed to the Lord on the bus

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:32.619
on the way. And I said, God, would you send revival

00:17:32.619 --> 00:17:37.039
to this school? I want to be walking revival

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:43.859
today. And from that began this four year journey.

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:51.700
Where every chance I got. I was telling someone

00:17:51.700 --> 00:17:56.059
about Jesus. And I wish I could tell you I was

00:17:56.059 --> 00:18:02.460
perfect at it and everyone got saved. Actually,

00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:07.539
the opposite happened. There was so much opposition.

00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:14.880
People at school hated me. I would walk in the

00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.000
halls and they'd be like, there's the Mother

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:23.640
Mary, there she is. And they would call me Jesus

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:29.900
freak not knowing that's a compliment. But I

00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:34.700
remember even during class, I'd be talking to

00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:39.279
someone and they'd be like. I am Christian. But

00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:41.079
everything in their life looked just like how

00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:47.299
mine did in middle school. And I remember opening

00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:48.980
up the Bible and be like, no, no, no, no. Look

00:18:48.980 --> 00:18:54.940
what it says. Look what it says. I was in love.

00:18:56.339 --> 00:19:07.700
I was consumed. And there came a point. All of

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:12.200
a sudden the Jesus Club that I had started had

00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:18.779
grown to 80 people. Which is amazing, but it

00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:21.500
started to attract a lot of unwanted attention.

00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:26.140
Where all of a sudden people are writing me death

00:19:26.140 --> 00:19:32.119
letters. Students that I went to school with.

00:19:32.509 --> 00:19:39.009
in class with, all of a sudden are writing me

00:19:39.009 --> 00:19:41.470
letters saying, if you ever say the name of Jesus

00:19:41.470 --> 00:19:48.789
again, we're gonna beat you up. We're gonna kill

00:19:48.789 --> 00:19:53.829
your family. We're gonna set you on fire. In

00:19:53.829 --> 00:19:57.450
America. And to be honest, they were all talk,

00:19:57.490 --> 00:20:01.730
to be honest. And they don't know that my mom's

00:20:01.730 --> 00:20:12.079
a cop. But the reality that I was walking in

00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.420
the midst of darkness was real to me. It was

00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:22.279
my everyday. And there was a day where I'm riding

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.819
my bike through my neighborhood. We lived by

00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:29.440
the beach, so a bunch of us were riding back

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:36.450
home. We lived near the beach and a group of

00:20:36.450 --> 00:20:46.230
girls who hated the Jesus Club were hiding in

00:20:46.230 --> 00:20:49.069
the neighborhood and the minute that they saw

00:20:49.069 --> 00:20:55.930
me they jumped us, they beat us up. And I just

00:20:55.930 --> 00:20:58.480
remember The thing that they said before they

00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:05.720
left us was they spit and they said, we hate

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:14.339
Jesus. And I remember laying there, literally

00:21:14.339 --> 00:21:20.200
just shook about what just happened. And I remember

00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:26.279
thinking to myself, it's worth it. He's worth

00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.750
it. And my mom, of course, he wanted to press

00:21:29.750 --> 00:21:36.210
charges. As she does. I remember she sat with

00:21:36.210 --> 00:21:41.109
me. And my mom is a believer now, but she wasn't

00:21:41.109 --> 00:21:45.410
at the time. And I remember she looked at me

00:21:45.410 --> 00:21:50.190
with tears in her eyes. And she said, do you

00:21:50.190 --> 00:21:54.759
really have to be that loud about Jesus? Does

00:21:54.759 --> 00:22:03.099
it really take all that? It's okay if you have

00:22:03.099 --> 00:22:09.380
your religion You don't have to talk about it

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:14.539
all the time And I just remember sobbing As I

00:22:14.539 --> 00:22:21.160
told my mom There is no one else for me I will

00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.849
not lay down my love for Jesus for anything.

00:22:26.829 --> 00:22:30.150
Can I tell you that it was not any better after

00:22:30.150 --> 00:22:34.529
that? I wish I could tell you that all of a sudden

00:22:34.529 --> 00:22:42.769
the difficulty lifted. I wish I could tell you

00:22:42.769 --> 00:22:49.859
that everyone loved me after that. But honestly

00:22:49.859 --> 00:22:57.220
those four years of high school was a plow It

00:22:57.220 --> 00:23:01.819
was a journey But I remember as I graduated high

00:23:01.819 --> 00:23:09.480
school Remember I remember saying to myself Jesus

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:16.859
is worthy of this a single decision that you've

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:24.579
made in the name of radical love for Jesus, it

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:30.640
is never wasted. It's never wasted. And the reason

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:32.819
why I share my story and I share some of those

00:23:32.819 --> 00:23:39.440
high school years is because I was burning and

00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:45.529
I was passionate for the gospel. But in my later

00:23:45.529 --> 00:23:52.250
years, as I went to Bible college, and I started

00:23:52.250 --> 00:24:00.950
going to ministry, that zeal died down. Because

00:24:00.950 --> 00:24:05.549
I remember everyone in high school telling me,

00:24:05.869 --> 00:24:09.509
that's just young zeal, you'll get over that.

00:24:10.769 --> 00:24:12.670
Ah, just let her be wild now, because she'll

00:24:12.670 --> 00:24:18.519
calm down later. And I honestly bit the bait.

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:24.819
I took it. Now in my college years, I'm surrounded

00:24:24.819 --> 00:24:31.380
by primarily Christians. And I began to see how

00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:37.660
many Christians were living in apathy. All of

00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:39.339
a sudden everyone's telling me, you need to build

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:52.880
your ministry. And I'm not knocking school. But

00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:57.920
for me, it was out of duty, not love. It was

00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:03.619
because I was more caught up in a Christian culture

00:25:03.619 --> 00:25:09.619
than living out simple obedience to Jesus. And

00:25:09.619 --> 00:25:12.740
I began to tone down this passion and this burning

00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:20.059
zeal. And eventually I found myself really backslidden.

00:25:23.380 --> 00:25:25.980
I found myself in rooms I never thought I'd be

00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:30.779
in. With people I never thought I'd be with.

00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:35.440
Making choices I knew in my heart this is not

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:45.890
what God had asked of me. But in 2016, I just

00:25:45.890 --> 00:25:49.329
got off work. And I'm sitting on my bed, and

00:25:49.329 --> 00:25:54.450
I'm scrolling through Facebook. And I remember,

00:25:54.710 --> 00:26:00.569
I stumbled upon this live stream of a man named

00:26:00.569 --> 00:26:05.769
Lu Engel. And it was the Azusa now, the call.

00:26:08.269 --> 00:26:10.910
It was a gathering of about 80 ,000 believers

00:26:10.910 --> 00:26:16.150
in the Coliseum in Los Angeles. And the whole

00:26:16.150 --> 00:26:19.470
gathering was about prayer and fasting for the

00:26:19.470 --> 00:26:27.309
turning of America back to God. And I'm at this

00:26:27.309 --> 00:26:32.509
place in my life where all of a sudden, I'm only

00:26:32.509 --> 00:26:39.640
18 years old. years all of a sudden became the

00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:48.619
glory days. I remember when I saw God heal that

00:26:48.619 --> 00:26:55.380
person in my lunchroom. I remember seeing the

00:26:55.380 --> 00:26:57.460
atheist all of a sudden on his knees weeping

00:26:57.460 --> 00:27:03.559
before God in my school. But all these stories

00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:10.579
were Because I became a professional Christian.

00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:16.980
I had forgotten the love I had at first. It all

00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:21.859
became about ministry and movement. But I had

00:27:21.859 --> 00:27:26.799
forgotten Him. All of a sudden it was about me

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:34.910
being this minister, but my heart was far. And

00:27:34.910 --> 00:27:40.910
as I'm watching Azusa now, I see this wild 60

00:27:40.910 --> 00:27:48.049
-year -old man with fire in his eyes, crying

00:27:48.049 --> 00:27:54.410
out for the turning of America. And he began

00:27:54.410 --> 00:27:56.710
to talk about something called the Nazareth Vowel.

00:27:59.970 --> 00:28:04.829
Do you guys have your Bibles? Even if it's digital.

00:28:05.130 --> 00:28:10.309
Can you flip to number six? Also, I just want

00:28:10.309 --> 00:28:12.490
to say, I flipped to number six like two days

00:28:12.490 --> 00:28:18.390
ago. And I found a vow my grandma had written

00:28:18.390 --> 00:28:28.819
in the 80s. Write at number six. coincidence

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:30.880
okay I just want to read number six real quick

00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:38.940
God spoke to Moses oh sorry that's the message

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:42.400
the Lord said to Moses speak to the Israelites

00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:46.700
and say to them if a man or woman wants to make

00:28:46.700 --> 00:28:49.859
a special vow a vow of separation to the Lord

00:28:49.859 --> 00:28:54.059
as a Nazarite he must abstain from wine and other

00:28:54.059 --> 00:28:57.210
fermented drink Must not drink vinegar made from

00:28:57.210 --> 00:29:00.190
wine or from oh, I just get that or from other

00:29:00.190 --> 00:29:02.690
fermented drink He must not drink grape juice

00:29:02.690 --> 00:29:05.829
or eat grapes or raisins as long as he is a Nazarite

00:29:05.829 --> 00:29:08.230
He must not eat anything that comes from the

00:29:08.230 --> 00:29:11.789
grapevine not even the seeds or skins During

00:29:11.789 --> 00:29:14.730
the entire period of his vows separation. No

00:29:14.730 --> 00:29:18.150
razor may be used on his head He must be holy

00:29:18.150 --> 00:29:20.829
until the period of a separation to the Lord

00:29:20.829 --> 00:29:24.029
is over He must let the hair of his head grow

00:29:24.029 --> 00:29:26.990
long Throughout the period of a separation to

00:29:26.990 --> 00:29:30.390
the Lord he must not go near a dead body Even

00:29:30.390 --> 00:29:33.289
if his own father or mother or brother or sister

00:29:33.289 --> 00:29:38.049
dies He must not make himself ceremonially unclean

00:29:38.049 --> 00:29:41.369
on account of them because the symbol of a separation

00:29:41.369 --> 00:29:44.829
to God is on his head Throughout the period of

00:29:44.829 --> 00:29:48.069
a separation he is consecrated to the Lord If

00:29:48.069 --> 00:29:51.329
someone dies suddenly in his presence, thus defiling

00:29:51.329 --> 00:29:54.069
the hair he is dedicated, he must shave his head

00:29:54.069 --> 00:29:56.470
on the day of his cleansing, the seventh day.

00:29:56.970 --> 00:30:00.069
Then on the eighth day, he must bring two doves

00:30:00.069 --> 00:30:04.089
or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance

00:30:04.089 --> 00:30:07.289
to the tent of meeting. The priest is to offer

00:30:07.289 --> 00:30:09.930
one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt

00:30:09.930 --> 00:30:12.609
offering to make atonement for him because he

00:30:12.609 --> 00:30:14.789
sinned by being in the presence of the dead body.

00:30:15.150 --> 00:30:19.230
That same day he is to consecrate his head. He

00:30:19.230 --> 00:30:21.750
must dedicate himself to the Lord for the period

00:30:21.750 --> 00:30:24.690
of a separation and must bring a year old male

00:30:24.690 --> 00:30:27.869
lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days do

00:30:27.869 --> 00:30:30.190
not count because he has become defiled during

00:30:30.190 --> 00:30:33.670
a separation. Now this is the law for the Nazarite.

00:30:33.869 --> 00:30:36.589
When the period of a separation is over, he is

00:30:36.589 --> 00:30:38.369
to be brought to the entrance to the tent of

00:30:38.369 --> 00:30:41.250
meeting. There he is to present his offerings

00:30:41.250 --> 00:30:47.039
to the Lord. A year old male lamb without defect

00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:50.220
for a burnt offering. A year old ewe lamb without

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:53.079
defect for a sin offering. A ram without defect

00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:55.460
for a fellowship offering. Together with their

00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:57.859
grain offerings and drink offerings and a basket

00:30:57.859 --> 00:31:00.440
of bread made without yeast. Cakes made of fine

00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.460
flour mixed with oil and wafers spread with oil.

00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.299
The priest is to present them before the Lord

00:31:06.299 --> 00:31:08.940
and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.

00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:11.839
He is to present the basket of unleavened bread.

00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:14.940
Is to sacrifice the ram as a fellowship offering

00:31:14.940 --> 00:31:17.380
to the Lord together with this grain offering

00:31:17.380 --> 00:31:20.539
and drink offering? Then at the entrance to the

00:31:20.539 --> 00:31:23.079
tent of meeting the Nazarite must shave off the

00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:26.240
hair that he dedicated He is to take the hair

00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:28.960
and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice

00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:31.740
of the fellowship offering After the Nazarite

00:31:31.740 --> 00:31:34.579
has shaved off the hair of his dedication The

00:31:34.579 --> 00:31:38.440
priest is to place in his hands a boiled shoulder

00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:41.059
of the ram and a cake and a wafer from the basket

00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:44.279
both made without yeast. The priest shall then

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:46.759
wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.

00:31:47.259 --> 00:31:50.680
They are holy and belong to the priest, together

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:52.460
with the breast that was waved and the thigh

00:31:52.460 --> 00:31:55.559
that was presented. After that, the Nazarite

00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.119
may drink wine. This is the law of the Nazarite

00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:01.700
who vows his offering to the Lord in accordance

00:32:01.700 --> 00:32:05.099
with the separation, in addition to whatever

00:32:05.099 --> 00:32:08.579
else he can afford. He must fulfill the law or

00:32:08.579 --> 00:32:10.640
the vow he has made according to the law of the

00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:13.019
Nazarite. It's a mouthful, I know. Bear with

00:32:13.019 --> 00:32:38.829
me. Mientras dure su promesa de Nazareo, no comerá

00:32:38.829 --> 00:32:41.490
ningún producto de la vid, desde la semilla hasta

00:32:41.490 --> 00:32:44.309
la cáscara. Mientras dure el tiempo de su consagración

00:32:44.309 --> 00:32:47.369
al Señor, es decir, mientras dure su promesa

00:32:47.369 --> 00:32:50.329
de Nazareo, tampoco se cortará el cabello, sino

00:32:50.329 --> 00:32:53.029
que se lo dejará crecer y se mantendrá santo.

00:32:53.569 --> 00:32:55.710
Mientras dure el tiempo de su consagración al

00:32:55.710 --> 00:32:58.750
Señor, no podrá acercarse a ningún cadáver, ni

00:32:58.750 --> 00:33:01.730
siquiera en caso de que muera su padre, su madre,

00:33:02.109 --> 00:33:05.380
su hermano o su hermana. No de vera serse ritualmente

00:33:05.380 --> 00:33:08.240
impuro a causa de ellos, porque lleva sobre la

00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:10.640
cabeza el símbolo de su consagración a Dios.

00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:13.460
Mientras dure el tiempo de su consagración al

00:33:13.460 --> 00:33:16.980
Señor, sementandrá Santo. Si de improviso alguien

00:33:16.980 --> 00:33:19.599
muere junto a Él, la consagración de su cabeza

00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:23.299
quedará anulada. Así que, al cabo de siete días,

00:33:23.700 --> 00:33:26.559
en el día de su purificación, deberá rasurarse

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:29.799
la cabeza. Al octavo dia llevará dos palomas

00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:33.279
o dos tortolas y se las entregará al sacerdote

00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:36.640
a la entrada de la tienda de reunión. El sacerdote

00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:40.380
ofrecerá una de ellas como sacrificio por el

00:33:40.380 --> 00:33:43.460
perdón de pecados y la otra como holocausto.

00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:46.440
Así el sacerdote pedirá perdón por el pecado

00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:50.099
del Nazareo, ya que este pecó al entrar en contacto

00:33:50.099 --> 00:33:53.960
con un cadáver. That same day Nazareth will consecrate

00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:56.440
his head again, consecrating to the Lord the

00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.700
time of his Nazareth and carrying a lamb of one

00:33:59.700 --> 00:34:02.440
year as a sacrifice for the guilt. He will not

00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:05.319
take into account the previous time because his

00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:37.500
consecration was canceled. this is the Untadas

00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:40.739
con aceite y también ofrendas de cereal y ofrendas

00:34:40.739 --> 00:34:43.599
líquidas. Entonces el sacerdote las presentará

00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:46.280
al señor y ofrecerá el sacrificio por el perdón

00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.460
y el alocausto en favor del naceo. Ofrecerá el

00:34:49.460 --> 00:34:51.900
carnero al señor como sacrificio de comunión

00:34:51.900 --> 00:34:54.380
junto con el canastillo de panes sin levadura.

00:34:54.780 --> 00:34:57.099
TAMIEN PRESENTARÁ LAS OFRENDAS DE CEREAL Y LAS

00:34:57.099 --> 00:34:59.739
OFRENDAS LÍQUIDAS. LUEGO AL ENTRADO DE LA TIENDA

00:34:59.739 --> 00:35:02.760
DE REUNION, EL NASAREO SE RAPARA LA CABEZA. TOMARÁ

00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:06.159
EL CABELLO QUE CONSACRIÓ Y LO ECHARÁ AL FUEGO

00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:09.019
QUE ARDE BAJO UN SACRIFICIO DE COMUNION. UNA

00:35:09.019 --> 00:35:11.059
VEZ QUE EL NASAREO SE HAYA RAPADO LA CABEZA,

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:14.179
SACERDOTE TOMARÁ EL CANASTILLO UN PAN SIN LAVADURA

00:35:14.179 --> 00:35:17.500
Y UNA HUELA SIN LAVADURA, MAS LA ESPALDIYA COCIDA

00:35:17.500 --> 00:35:20.639
DEL CARNERO. Pondrá todo esto en manos del Nazareo.

00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:23.119
Después, mes será todo esto ante el Señor como

00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.639
una ofrenda. Todo esto es santo y le pertenece

00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:28.280
al sacerdote. Lo mismo que el pecho mesido y

00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.980
el muslo ofrecido como contribución. Finalizando

00:35:30.980 --> 00:35:33.699
este rito, el Nazareo podrá beber vino. Esta

00:35:33.699 --> 00:35:36.500
ley se aplicará al Nazareo que haga una promesa.

00:35:36.710 --> 00:35:38.969
This is the offering that the Lord will present

00:35:38.969 --> 00:35:42.510
for his Nazareth, apart from what he can give

00:35:42.510 --> 00:35:44.530
according to his resources. According to the

00:35:44.530 --> 00:35:46.869
law of the Nazareth, he must fulfill the promise

00:35:46.869 --> 00:35:47.329
he made.
