Come on Jesus said Go 00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:40.280 into all the world and preach the gospel to every 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.899 creature One of the one of the nations that the 00:00:43.899 --> 00:00:46.640 Lord has put on our heart is the nation of India 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.299 There's several other nations that the Lord has 00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:52.740 just birthed into Jenny and I as we've prayed 00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:55.079 early on in the and just in the planting of the 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.380 church and The eldership the staff just catching 00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:01.359 that vision, you know, I was part of a church 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:07.069 that funded lot of missionaries with just a little 00:01:07.069 --> 00:01:10.269 kind of of that group that you know a hundred 00:01:10.269 --> 00:01:13.269 here and a hundred there and maybe there'd be 00:01:13.269 --> 00:01:15.810 20 missionaries that the church would have just 00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:18.450 a hundred a hundred fifty at a time the Lord 00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:21.250 really spoke to me years ago where I just had 00:01:21.250 --> 00:01:23.890 really felt like there was a strong word of the 00:01:23.890 --> 00:01:27.230 Lord for me personally that when Jenny and I 00:01:27.230 --> 00:01:30.069 would go out and we were to plant a church that 00:01:30.069 --> 00:01:33.480 we were to just to really seek the Lord for what 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.299 nations we were to deposit into and find ministries 00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:41.700 that were like -minded DNA type ministries. You 00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:44.400 know, you can go to different houses. Does it 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.859 mean that they're not serving Jesus? Just like 00:01:46.859 --> 00:01:49.120 you go to different families, different families 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.799 have different personality types, but it doesn't 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.379 mean that the way they do things is wrong. But 00:01:54.379 --> 00:01:58.379 there's a DNA of Life Bible Church. There's a 00:01:58.379 --> 00:02:00.939 thing that we love here and we call it the Spirit 00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:03.640 -Driven Church. It's wonderful to have a purpose, 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.859 but it's superior to have the Spirit -Driven 00:02:06.859 --> 00:02:10.840 Church. Amen? And so we want to find missionaries 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.189 and we want to find... People in the other countries 00:02:15.189 --> 00:02:18.729 that are believing in the same principle of scripture 00:02:18.729 --> 00:02:22.629 Finding the people and imparting the Holy Spirit 00:02:22.629 --> 00:02:25.449 and the fullness of the word into them and growing 00:02:25.449 --> 00:02:28.090 healthy churches That's what it's about. It's 00:02:28.090 --> 00:02:31.449 about God building his church on the earth and 00:02:31.449 --> 00:02:33.930 bringing the people from every nation and from 00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:37.210 every tribe that called out the Ecclesia the 00:02:37.210 --> 00:02:40.740 separated ones to him And we are thrilled to 00:02:40.740 --> 00:02:42.759 be able to partner in India, as you know, that 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.460 we've partnered with Sharon Asia over the last 00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:50.830 three years.

Now this man, first thing 00:13:36.299 --> 00:13:39.340 that we're going to talk about, a man who goes 00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:46.179 down, a man who goes down from Jerusalem to Jericho. 00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:48.840 Those of you who have visited Jerusalem and Jericho, 00:13:49.179 --> 00:13:52.039 you know that Jerusalem is a city built on the 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.000 mountaintop. And there was a man who came from 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.659 the mountaintop experience and he's going down. 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.179 And you also know that Jericho is the city that 00:14:01.179 --> 00:14:04.740 is built in the valley. And there was a man that 00:14:04.740 --> 00:14:07.419 is leaving the mountaintop experience and is 00:14:07.419 --> 00:14:09.600 going from the hilltop mountaintop experience 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.200 to the valley. A certain man went down. And this 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.759 story is so important about God's people. This 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.240 story is so important, this parable is so important 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.019 to each and every individual to know that God 00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:24.899 wants you to saying Jerusalem and not go out 00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:27.379 of Jerusalem because it is a mountain top experience 00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:31.960 and moreover Bible tells us as Jerusalem is surrounded 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.720 by mountains. It's not only on the mountain, 00:14:34.779 --> 00:14:37.360 but God has surrounded Jerusalem. There is a 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.820 place There's a secure place that God wants you 00:14:39.820 --> 00:14:42.159 and I to stay that is secured by the mountain 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.139 And that's what God wants you and I to be and 00:14:45.139 --> 00:14:47.740 you know We know that many people today are attempting 00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:50.299 to leave that holy city They're attempting to 00:14:50.299 --> 00:14:52.360 leave that place that God has made for us the 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.899 mountain top experience the place that is surrounded 00:14:54.899 --> 00:14:57.179 by the holy presence of God Surrounded by the 00:14:57.179 --> 00:14:59.019 mountain and that's what the man of God said 00:14:59.019 --> 00:15:01.340 where will my help come from? He said I will 00:15:01.340 --> 00:15:04.919 have I will have my from the mountains and God 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.000 wants us to know that we have to stay in that 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.000 mountain top experience but this man decided 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.039 that we'll go from the mountain to Jericho. Do 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.159 you know what is the meaning of Jerusalem? Jerusalem 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:20.539 means city, Salim means peace. Even today in 00:15:20.539 --> 00:15:25.139 the eastern culture they say salaam means peace 00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:28.600 be unto you. Muslim people will say salaam. As 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.320 -Salaam means the the peace of God be upon you 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.399 and the peace the city of peace is for God's 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:36.840 people and God wants you to stay in the city 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.820 of peace but this man is attempting to go from 00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:42.539 Jerusalem to Jericho and I want you to know what 00:15:42.539 --> 00:15:45.360 the Jericho is you know in the olden days God's 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.100 people wanted to go from Egypt to the promised 00:15:48.100 --> 00:15:50.519 land and they were going to promised land but 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.440 when they were going from Egypt to promised land 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.080 they came to a city that is called Jericho and 00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:58.639 Jericho's wall will not allow God's people to 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:01.720 go any further and they had a great and they 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:06.139 had a terrible time to cross this Jericho and 00:16:06.139 --> 00:16:09.799 God's people had to take round around Jericho 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:13.399 before it fell down and then God's people went 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:17.340 into Jericho and God told them to destroy Jericho 00:16:17.340 --> 00:16:20.879 totally. Destroy Jericho totally and he said 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.620 destroy it and then after they destroyed Jericho 00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:26.500 the man of God whose name is Joshua Joshua got 00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:29.340 up and the answer of the Holy Spirit he prophesied 00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:31.720 and what was the prophecy this was the word of 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.419 God that Joshua prophesied and Joseph said thus 00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:37.580 said the Lord that nobody will build this Jericho 00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:40.519 city again this city is this stumbling block 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.200 from for God's people to go into promised land 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.700 and thus God wants nobody to build this Jericho 00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:49.409 again and in In case if anybody starts building 00:16:49.409 --> 00:16:52.129 Jericho City again, when he lays the foundation, 00:16:52.509 --> 00:16:55.649 his first son will die. First, and it's very 00:16:55.649 --> 00:16:58.169 important, you know, in our family's first son. 00:16:58.850 --> 00:17:01.759 And he said, if you continue to build it... When 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:05.259 you finish the city your last son will die That 00:17:05.259 --> 00:17:07.539 was a prophecy that came through the man of God 00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:10.200 But I want you to read something in the first 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:14.539 King 16 chapter and 34th verse first King 16 00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:18.700 chapter and 34th verse many times you and I know 00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:21.200 what the will of God is God wants us to stay 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.680 in Jerusalem and we know that God wants us not 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.779 to build Jericho again and not to stay in Jericho 00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:29.099 not start building the foundation of Jericho 00:17:29.099 --> 00:17:31.869 again, but you know even after knowing sometimes 00:17:31.869 --> 00:17:34.450 we start building Jericho because we want to 00:17:34.450 --> 00:17:36.730 go to Jericho and we want to live in Jericho 00:17:36.730 --> 00:17:38.930 against the will of God and something happened 00:17:38.930 --> 00:17:41.569 here now listen to this what happening the amazing 00:17:41.569 --> 00:17:46.390 thing is this okay and in his days Hile of Bethel 00:17:46.390 --> 00:17:50.509 built Jericho who built Jericho Hile where did 00:17:50.509 --> 00:17:55.509 he live Bethel do you know the meaning of Bethel 00:17:55.509 --> 00:18:00.990 Bethel is sinful place no it doesn't Batman's 00:18:00.990 --> 00:18:05.990 house L is God That L a man of the house of God 00:18:05.990 --> 00:18:09.150 trying to build the city against the plan of 00:18:09.150 --> 00:18:12.299 God And I want to tell you folks, it is not the 00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:14.680 people there, it's not the hidden, but many times 00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.339 God's people, people who know the plan of God, 00:18:18.660 --> 00:18:21.259 a man who lives in the house of God, he said, 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.039 I am going to build the city again.

I don't know in America, but India. 00:19:32.779 --> 00:19:36.339 It's a big day Foundation of the big city Jericho 00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:38.819 foundation stone hundreds and thousands of people 00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:41.759 are invited a big meal is prepared You know, 00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:44.140 there is a ribbon and the people great people 00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:46.480 noble people are invited and there's a great 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:49.039 feast and you know great fun celebration because 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.349 of big city is going to start celebration many 00:19:52.349 --> 00:19:55.650 times you and I want to celebrate celebrate against 00:19:55.650 --> 00:19:57.930 the will of God and the day of celebration it's 00:19:57.930 --> 00:20:00.029 good to celebrate in the will of God but when 00:20:00.029 --> 00:20:01.829 you celebrate against the will of God something 00:20:01.829 --> 00:20:04.710 happens he had that foundation stored laid and 00:20:04.710 --> 00:20:07.609 something happened laid its foundation with Abiram 00:20:07.609 --> 00:20:10.650 his firstborn He was laying the foundation. Great 00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:12.690 things were happening. And then somebody came. 00:20:12.970 --> 00:20:16.009 Yale, Yale, Yale. Yes, he said, Yale, Yale, I've 00:20:16.009 --> 00:20:18.829 got a bad news for you. Yale, what happened? 00:20:19.009 --> 00:20:21.690 Yale, you lost your first son. Your first son 00:20:21.690 --> 00:20:24.990 just died. You know, many times we don't understand 00:20:24.990 --> 00:20:27.210 why these things are happening. Why there's a 00:20:27.210 --> 00:20:30.109 big disaster in the house. We go to church. We 00:20:30.109 --> 00:20:32.970 pay tithe. I read Bible. Why the disaster happening? 00:20:33.230 --> 00:20:34.750 Disaster is happening because you're building 00:20:34.750 --> 00:20:38.200 something against the plan of God. disaster is 00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.799 because you are laying the foundation don't lay 00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.920 the foundation don't lay the foundation of Jericho 00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:46.480 God's against Jericho God's destroyed Jericho 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:52.240 God doesn't want Jericho to be built again but 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:55.359 you know normally you will you will think that 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:58.660 if things like this happened and a first son 00:20:58.660 --> 00:21:03.400 is dead, healed, a man of God from Bethel will 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:06.299 say, I'm sorry, God, I should not have done this. 00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:09.559 I will not do it. I will stop it. But see the 00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:12.619 stubbornness of the man. Sometimes God tells 00:21:12.619 --> 00:21:14.980 us, talks to us again and again by prophets, 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.059 by the prophecies, by the word of God. The man 00:21:18.059 --> 00:21:20.500 of God preaches from the pulpit and you get the 00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:22.920 word of God and you see what's happening. But 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:25.319 many times we are so stubborn in spite of all 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:27.259 these things we don't listen and we continue 00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:30.089 to build Jericho. Something happened. He continued 00:21:30.089 --> 00:21:32.470 to build Jericho. He didn't stop. He didn't say, 00:21:32.609 --> 00:21:34.349 sorry, God. He didn't say, I will not build it. 00:21:34.470 --> 00:21:36.589 But he continued to build. He said, oh, who cares? 00:21:36.829 --> 00:21:39.390 If my first son is dead, no problem. I've got 00:21:39.390 --> 00:21:41.490 other sons. But listen to this, what's happening. 00:21:42.089 --> 00:21:45.049 And with his youngest son, Seagub, he set up 00:21:45.049 --> 00:21:48.490 its gates. Oh, gates when he finished. He finished 00:21:48.490 --> 00:21:51.690 the city, beautiful city, marvelous city, great 00:21:51.690 --> 00:21:54.740 architect. He was... doing the gate that's a 00:21:54.740 --> 00:21:57.019 finishing date opening date an opening date is 00:21:57.019 --> 00:21:59.380 very important in eastern culture and yet the 00:21:59.380 --> 00:22:01.880 opening and somebody informed here you've lost 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.980 the last son you know god's engaged all these 00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:07.799 things are not happening because they had to 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:10.319 happen but because god doesn't want you to build 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:13.759 Jericho again man of god woman of god you who 00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:16.099 know the word of god and you know what god is 00:22:16.099 --> 00:22:18.440 designing in your life you have to be very careful 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:20.859 that god doesn't want you to build Jericho again 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.599 If you do so, you know what's going to happen. 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.279 But you know, I just gave you the background 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.740 of what Jericho was. But a man, a certain man, 00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:32.539 by Jesus is talking about this man must be very 00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:35.319 important. This is not ordinary story that sometimes 00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:37.759 we talk to our children and give the story. This 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:40.000 is important story.

I was going with Abraham. I was very happy. 00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:15.700 I was enjoying my life. I knew the man of God 00:28:15.700 --> 00:28:17.640 has a plan of God and I was following the man 00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:20.279 of God and he was my uncle also. I was following 00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:22.559 the plan of God and something happened and my 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:24.799 mind spoke to me.

Many times our plans, 00:28:46.289 --> 00:28:49.430 our brain deceive us. And we go into a place 00:28:49.430 --> 00:28:52.690 when we are captured and we don't know how to 00:28:52.690 --> 00:28:55.170 get out of it. We are surrounded. If we want 00:28:55.170 --> 00:28:57.670 to get out, we cannot get out. Now we are surrounded. 00:28:57.890 --> 00:29:00.630 Lots of people do not sin because they want to 00:29:00.630 --> 00:29:03.529 sin. They want to come out of sin.
