Welcome to NECF. We're thrilled you're here.
Make sure to stay with us till the end, where
we'll share some great resources to deepen your
faith. Now, let's dive into this week's sermon.
It's a beautiful morning, and I'm so excited
once again to be in this place. Yesterday was
a great moment for us, and I believe once again
God will continue in what he has been doing in
our midst. You know, we go gradually. The way
God exposes us to his truth is step by step.
Amen. Step by step, gradually. You know, Isaiah
28. Verse 10. Isaiah 28. Verse 10 says, he tells
us everything. Yes, give me the NLT. Give me
the NLT. I love the way the NLT put it. So he
tells us everything over and over. One line at
a time. One line at a time. A little here and
a little there. See, this is how. You know, truth
is unveiled gradually, little by little, here
and there. And then before we know it, we see
the insight that comes from God's word. So what
I want you to do is that you should be encouraged
to follow every single thing that is done in
this place. All right? Just know that this meeting
is arranged specifically for you. This meeting
is for you, and it's not for anybody. Just have
this kind of mindset that this meeting is for
you. Even if there's nobody here and I'm the
only one here, I'm going to enjoy what God is
doing. God is taking this moment to invest into
my life because he has a plan for my life. So
from what we will be doing and everything that
every other speaker will be coming to lead us,
it is a build -up on every aspect of what God...
We want us to see in this season. So please be
very conscious. And see how it links. See how
it links. See how it's connected. Because step
by step. Little by little. We see the build up
of what God is doing for us. And there is an
admonition. Paul gave to Timothy. In 2 Timothy
chapter 3. From verse 10. 2 Timothy chapter 3.
From verse 10. He says but you. You have carefully
followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose,
faith, long -suffering, love, perseverance, persecutions,
afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch,
at Iconium, at Lystra. What persecutions I endured,
and out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes.
and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus
will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors
will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being
deceived. This is what is happening. But then
for you, that is for us individually here, it
says, but you must continue in the things which
you have learned. and being assured of knowing
from whom you have learned them. How we are learning
in this place will be productive. We'll see the
fruitfulness in your life is when you continue,
that is when you practice what you learn in this
place. So whatever thing that will be coming
to us and coming for us, let our mindset be that
we are looking at how we can apply, where we
can obey. But continue, you must continue in
things which you have learned and been assured
of knowing from whom you have learned them. And
that from childhood, you have known the holy
scriptures. From childhood, from when you were
born again, you've been exposed to God's word,
which are able to make you wise for salvation
through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. All
scripture. That is all scripture is given by
inspiration of God. And it is profitable, meaning
that it is advantageous, meaning that it is useful.
It is important for doctrine. Doctrine here means
teaching. It is important. The scripture is a
material by which we receive instruction for
life. So the scripture. is advantage, is profitable,
is advantageous for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness.
And this is a goal that the man of God may be
complete, thoroughly equipped by, equipped for
every good work. So the goal is for our equipping.
that we will be made ready for every good work.
So the intention is that God will help us to
be equipped for the work that he has for us.
And moving down to chapter 4, he continued by
saying, I charge you therefore before God and
the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living
and the dead at his appearance. At his kingdom.
Preach the word. Be ready in season and out of
season. Convince, rebuke, exhort. With all longsuffering
and teaching. Verse 3. For time will come when
they will not endure sound doctrine. People will
not be willing to sit for a long time. Enduring
has to do with making yourself to be under the
authority of the word of God. Time is coming
that many will not endure, many will not give
themselves up to the instruction that comes from
God's word. For the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine, but according
to their own desires, because they have itching
ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers,
and they will turn their ears away from truth
and be torn aside to fables. But you, Be watchful
in all things. Endure afflictions. Do the work
of an evangelist and fulfill your ministry. Hallelujah.
So what I want to encourage us is to endure every
single thing. It's not easy. Training is not
an easy task. Discipline is not easy. It's not
easy for the body. But when we look at the goal
that it will achieve in our lives, it will motivate
us to do what? To make ourselves readily available
under the instruction of God's word so that we
will be built up. So my desire is that our hearts
will be here, our mind will be here, and our
attention will be fixed on seeing what God will
say. Hallelujah. That we will be fixed, fixated
on seeing. Our desire is to see. what God will
say, and then what we will do from what God will
say. Hallelujah. Now let's get to our scripture,
our key scripture for this conference that we've
been looking at since yesterday. Manifesting
the kingdom of God. Matthew chapter 16. Matthew
chapter 16. From what's starting. When Jesus
came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he
asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that
I, the Son of Man, am? So they said some say
John the Baptist, some Elijah, others Jeremiah,
or one of the prophets. He said to them, But
who do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered
and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the
living God. Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed
are you, Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood has
not revealed this to you, but my Father who is
where? Who is in heaven. And I say to you that
you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build
my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail
against it. And I will give you the keys of the
kingdom of heaven. And whatever you bind on earth
will be bound in heaven. And whatever you lose
on earth will be loosed in heaven. Hallelujah.
And we're able to go through, you know, the preliminary
verses. We look at the context. And then we say
that, you know, the disciples were sent out by
Jesus Christ to go out and preach the gospel.
And then when they came back, Jesus was asking
them of their reports. Of course, they came back
very joyful, you know, seeing what God has worked
by their hands. They went to preach concerning
the kingdom. They went to proclaim the kingdom.
And then signs and wonders were done by them.
Because Jesus Christ has authorized them, has
given them power, has given them authority. They
cast out devils, they heal, they perform wonderful
miracles, accompanying, you know, the preaching
of the kingdom, preaching of the message of the
kingdom. And we saw from the text we read yesterday
that, you know, there were different accounts.
People have different perception. People have
different, you know. about who Jesus is. And
we established that the idea about who Jesus
Christ is is founded on ignorance, is founded
on unbelief. And we say that for us to be effective
in the work of ministry, it is important that
our theology about Jesus Christ be accurate because
Jesus Christ shifted from what they heard from
the people, from the crowd, to what they themselves.
Say about the Messiah. About the son of man.
About Jesus Christ. Which shows to us the importance
of. Understanding. The importance of understanding.
Who God is. The importance of understanding.
What the message is. And we say that the message
is a person. The message is Jesus Christ. And
it is important for us. To comprehend. To understand.
To know who Jesus is. To have a revelation. We
say revelation of Christ. is crucial, is important,
is vital to doing the work of ministry. And our
preparation is knowing God, having a revelation
of who Jesus is so that we can be able to preach
him accurately. And we see, you know, the instance
where Peter made a proclamation. you know, about
who Jesus is. And we establish also that Peter's
revelation of Jesus Christ was founded on the
writings of the prophets, which means that he
believed on the prophetic writings of, you know,
the scriptures concerning who Jesus is. And this
is what we define as revelation. From this revelation,
you know, He professed or he confessed who Jesus
is. So we're going to continue from verse 18.
From verse 18 of this text. Let me read verse
17, then I will go down to verse 18. Jesus answered
and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona,
for flesh and blood, which means that this understanding
is not coming from human point of view. Flesh
and blood has not revealed this to you, but my
Father who is in heaven. So what God does to
us is that he opens us to his word. That is what
God does to us, give us revelation. And the revelation
which God will give us is in the word of God,
is in the scriptures. And I also say to you that
you are Peter. And on this rock, I will build
my church. And the gates of Hades shall not prevail
against it. On this rock, verse 18. And I also
say to you that you are Peter. And on this rock,
I will build my church. And the gates of Hades
shall not prevail against it. If you are an intelligent
reader of the text. I think a question should
rise in your heart. What is this rock? Because,
you know, Jesus Christ was not talking about,
was not teaching about the types of rocks. Right?
The conversation in this text is not geology
or geography or construction. In a way, they
are building a house, so Jesus is explaining
construction, engineering, or whatever. Where
will Jesus, or what will Jesus mean by the rock?
The rock. What did Jesus mean when he said this
rock? Was he pointing at a rock? Was he pointing
at a rock? When he said this rock, was there
a rock there that Jesus pointed at? What is this
rock? So it is important. Jesus is not speaking
out of point. Amen. He's not just, you know,
he's talking, he's on a conversation and then
lo and behold, he switches to another entirely
not. This consistency in what Jesus is saying
and it's left for us to investigate, to understand
what is this rock that Jesus is explaining? What
is the implication of the rock that Jesus? He's
explaining. And that is what I trust God will
help us to see and to establish as we go through
what we'll be doing today. Hallelujah. So, what
is this rock? What is the church that Jesus is
referring to? What is the church which Jesus
is referring to in this particular verse? Now,
the Roman Catholic Church, you know what the
Roman Catholic Church is? The global Roman Catholic
Church holds the assertion that the Apostle Peter
is the rock. Not only them, but some, of course,
some scholars also, you know, hold the assertion
that the Apostle Peter is a rock upon which the
church is built. Because if you look at the verse,
it seems that that's what he's saying. And I
also say to you that you are Peter. And on this
rock, I will build my church and the gates of
Hades shall not prevail against it. Of course,
we know that there's no scripture that is of
private interpretation. If we must interpret
this text as Jesus is referring to Peter as the
rock, then we should be able to find collaborative
scriptures that will help us in establishing
this particular idea. So, they also hold that
the church that Jesus Christ is referring to
here is the Roman Catholic Church and that Apostle
Peter is the rock upon which the church is built.
Therefore, he is the first pope. He is the pope
of the church. Now, how true is this assertion?
Because our basic knowledge of scriptures will
help us to understand that Peter had a wife,
right? He was married. He had a family. And then
the Pope of today does not marry. So when we
try to, I mean, it becomes difficult to establish
this fact. But let's go deeper and we'll see.
Now it is important to note that the background.
we've said this time and time and time immemorial,
that the background of everything that Jesus
would do, the background of everything that Jesus
did while he was on earth, the background, the
context of everything Jesus taught while he was
on earth is from the writings of Moses, from
the Psalms, and from the prophets. That is to
say that there's nothing that Jesus Christ do
that is from the blues. Including the words he
speak. Including the actions he took. Including
what he accomplished. It's from what? It's from
the writings of Moses. And what are the writings
of Moses? The first five books of the Bible.
And then the Psalms and the prophets. Luke chapter
24 verse 44. Luke 24 verse 44. Then he said to
them, these are the words which I spoke to you
while I was still with you. The words Jesus spoke
to them. And what are the words Jesus was speaking
to them? That all things must be fulfilled which
were written in the law of Moses and the prophets
and the Psalms concerning me. So Jesus Christ
spoke to them or he taught them The generality
of all that Jesus taught them was from the writings
of Moses, was from what the prophets have prophesied
about, and from what the Psalms have written
concerning Jesus. Matthew 5, verse 17, we see
where Jesus Christ will say that he has not come
to destroy the law. Do not think that I have
come to destroy the law. All the prophets, that
is, Jesus Christ did not come to condemn or to
do away with what the laws, the laws of Moses,
what Moses have written, what the prophets have
said. I did not come to destroy, but to do what?
But to accomplish them, to fulfill them. Because
these were promises, these were prophecies. So
my coming... Is to bring toward to accomplishment.
What all the prophets have said. Verse 18. For
as surely I say to you. Till heaven and earth
pass away. One dot. Or one little. Or one little.
Will by no means pass. From the law. Till all
is what. Till all is fulfilled. So Jesus Christ
was to fulfill what has been said or what has
been written. So if Jesus preaches a message
apart from that of the prophets, he wouldn't
be the Christ. If Jesus Christ would teach anything
that is outside the scriptures, if Jesus Christ
would say any word that is outside the scriptures,
then he would not be the Messiah. Because the
writings in the Old Testament were actually...
The words of Jesus. The prophets were able to
see by divine inspiration what Jesus will do.
So specifically, the prophets and Moses were
writing the words of Jesus Christ. They were
writing what Jesus will come to do. So therefore,
whatever Jesus will say, the vocabulary and the
choice of words, that Jesus will use in his ministry,
the language, the verbiage by which Jesus will
use in his teachings will definitely be from
where? From what the prophets have said. From
what Moses have written. From what we will see
in the Holy Scripture. His words must be from
what we call the Old Testament Scripture. From
Genesis to Malachi. So the rock and the church
that Jesus Christ will be speaking, because remember
I said that Jesus Christ asked a question. He
said, who do men say I am? And we agree or we
saw that the question that Jesus Christ was asking
was not out of what? Was not out of identity
crisis, right? He was not trying to know from
them, but the goal of his question is to what?
Is to teach. Hallelujah. The goal of his question
is what? Is for teaching. It's to explain a truth.
It's to bring light to a reality, to a truth.
So the rock and the church that Jesus will speak
about, the rock and the church that Jesus Christ
will teach about, will speak about, or will speak
of must be those spoken or that which was spoken
of by the prophets. All right? That which was
spoken of by the prophets, that which was spoken
of, was written by Moses, was taught by Moses
and in the Psalms. Jesus only came to do what?
To fulfill and not to establish something new.
So if we see Jesus Christ making reference to
something, it must be something that has already
been what? Been prophesied or has been said by
the prophets. So, most of what Jesus said in
the four gospels, you know, will be fulfilled
in his resurrection. I want you to note this
very, very well. Because Jesus says, upon this
rock, I will build, which means that upon this
rock, he has not built yet, right? It's a promise.
So, while Jesus was on earth, before dying, Most
of the things he taught were promises. They were
not fulfilled before his death, his burial, and
his resurrection. So, most of what Jesus would
say in the four gospels was not fulfilled there
when he was saying them. Which means that much
of Jesus' sermon in the four gospels will be
promises to be fulfilled when? When will these
promises be fulfilled? In his resurrection, right?
In his resurrection. So that is a very important
truth we should note. So, for example, now the
Sermon on the Mount. Let's go to the Sermon on
the Mount and see the teachings he did before
he died and rose again. Matthew chapter 5 from
verse 1. And seeing the multitude. He went up
on a mountain, and when he was seated, his disciples
came to him. And then he opened his mouth and
taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in
spirit, for theirs is a kingdom of heaven. How
will the kingdom of heaven be established? In
his resurrection. All right? So what Jesus Christ
will be teaching here will actually be what will
be established at his resurrection. He will say,
What is the source of comfort of the believer?
Who comforts the believer? The Holy Spirit. So
by this time, has the Holy Spirit been given?
It has not been given. Why? Because he has not
yet died. He has not died. He has not been raised
from the dead yet. He has not been taken up to
glory yet. Because we saw that the condition
for the outpouring of the Spirit of God is that
Jesus will be taken away, that Jesus will be
gone to heaven. So it is important to note that.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit
the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness. For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful. For they shall obtain
mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart. For they
shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers. For
they shall be called the sons of God. How will
men be called the sons of God? Men will be called
the sons of God. The Bible will say that as many
as did receive him, right? He gave them the ability.
As many as did believe. Receiving him means believing
in what he has, he will do, believing in what
he has done. That is how they will become the
sons of God. From the viewpoint of his resurrection.
Alright? So blessed are those who are persecuted
for righteousness' sake. For theirs is the kingdom
of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and
persecute you and say all kinds of evil against
you, falsely for my sake. Rejoice and exceedingly
glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for
they persecuted the prophets who were before
you. So all these things, the ability, right,
to become all. That has been taught in these
scriptures. If you go on and on. We see Jesus
Christ teaching several things. You know. We
see where Jesus Christ is talking about. Love
for your enemies. Like in verse 43. It says you
have heard that it was said. You shall love your
neighbor. And hate your enemy. That is what the
law says. But I say to you. Love your enemies.
Bless those who curse you. Do good to those who
hate you. And pray for those who spitefully use
you and persecute you. That you may be the sons
of your father in heaven. For he makes his son
to rise on the evil and on the good. And send
rain on the just and on the unjust. It takes
only a man that has been filled by the spirit.
That can what? That can express this kind of
life. I believe so much that those who were listening
to him did not have the ability to what? To live
out these things that Jesus was saying. Amen?
Imagine someone that is not born again and I
tell him to love his enemies. How is he going
to do it? How is he going to do it? So, most
of Jesus' teachings and what he taught were what?
Were what will be fulfilled or what will be accomplished
at his word, at his resurrection. So, Matthew
16, verse 18 will also be similar, right? It
will be what will be accomplished when? At his
resurrection. All his miracles, not only teachings,
but even the miracles, the sermons, and the parables
are about his death, his burial, and his resurrection.
It's about the kingdom. Hallelujah. The parables
are not just for fun. It's not comedy. They are
to teach about what he will do at his death,
his burial, and his resurrection. They are to
proclaim, to help in bringing about the knowledge
of what he will do. You know, in his death, his
burial, and his resurrection. Let's look at one
of his miracles. Let's look at one of his miracles.
The first miracle he did. Which was the first
miracle recorded by Jesus? Turn your water into
wine. Amen. Let's go to John chapter 2. John
chapter 2. From verse 1 to 10. We'll read from
verse 1 to 10. On the third day, there was a
wedding in Cana of Galilee. And the mother of
Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and his disciples
were invited to the wedding. And when they ran
out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to him,
they have no wine. Okay? She came to Jesus and
said, see. Their wine has finished. There's a
debate. Some say it's alcohol. Some say it's
not alcohol. But let's just know that there's
something called wine. All right? And when you
drink wine, what will happen to you? If you drink
it in excess, what will happen to you? Eh? You'll
be drunk, right? So, wine. Whatever way you want
to explain it is wine. And if you drink plenty
of it, you'll be drunk. Hallelujah. So Jesus
turned water into wine. That's the context here.
Look how Jesus replied to her. She came to Jesus
and said, Your wine has finished. And Jesus said
to her, Woman, what does your concern have to
do with me? My hour has not yet come. My hour
has not yet come. His mother said to the servants,
whatever he says to you, do it. Now they set
their six water pots of stone according to the
manner of purification of the Jews containing
20 or 30 gallons apiece. Jesus said to them,
fill the water pots with water and they fill
them up to the brim. And he said to them, draw
some out now. Draw some out now and take it to
the master of the feast. That is the chairman
of the wedding. And they took it. When the master
of the feast had tested the water that was made
wine and did not know where it came from, but
the servants who had drawn the water knew, the
master of the feast called the bridegroom. And
he said to him, every man at the beginning set
out the good wine. And when the guests have well
drunk, then the inferior, you know, the wine
Jesus was a quality wine, you know, original
wine, not diluted. He was surprised. At every
wedding, people bring out the best so that people
will drink. And when they drink, they are drunk.
Then we can now see, you know, when you are drunk,
you will not know, you know. When you're hungry,
no matter how bad the food is, the food is always
sweet in your mouth when you're hungry. Understand?
But when you keep eating, you keep eating, no
matter how sweet it is, when you are full, you
know, we call it diminishing utility, right?
The more you take of a substance, the value or
the satisfaction you get from it drops. So the
master said of the wedding says, every man at
the beginning set out the good wine. And when
the guests have well drunk, then the inferior,
you have kept the good wine until now. I think
he was shouting there. Because it's an exclamation
mark. Right? This beginning of signs Jesus did
in Cana of Galilee and manifested his word, his
glory, and his disciples' word, they believed
him. Now. Why wine? Upon all the miracles that
Jesus will set out his ministry. Why alcohol?
Amen? Why wine? And we say that everything that
Jesus will teach, will do, okay, will say, must
have his root from where? From scripture. Hallelujah.
So why wine? We will see from the story that
fiscal wine, we will see from the story that
the fiscal wine finished at the party, right?
When Jesus was approached, he said in verse 4,
give me verse 4. He says, my hour is not yet
come. My hour has not yet come. Give me verse
4 again. He said, my hour has not yet come. What
does Jesus mean by my hour has not yet come?
Which means that he's talking about time, right?
This is not my time. This will mean that at his
hour, there shall be wine. Okay? He said, my
hour has not come, which means that at his hour,
what will happen? There will be wine. There will
be wine. So what does his hour mean? Or when
is his hour? If you are writing, you can put,
when is his hour? Let's investigate and see his
hour. What does his hour mean? What kind of wine
will we have at his hour? The original wine.
Amen? Remember, when he brought out the wine,
it was what? It was a high quality wine. It says,
my hour has not yet come. What is that hour?
And what kind of wine will we have at his hour?
Now, my hour will refer to a particular time,
a specific time. My hour will refer to a specific
time. Let's look at it in scriptures. John chapter
4 verse 21. John chapter 4 verse 21. John 4 verse
21. Jesus said to her, this is Jesus' interaction
with, you know, the Samaritan woman, right? Jesus
said to her, Woman, believe me. The hour, you
see the hour. My hour. The hour is coming. When
you will need on this mountain in Jerusalem worship
the father. Do you have an idea of when this
will happen? Huh? When? Help me. When? At his
resurrection, right? That's a hint. Verse 22.
You will worship what you do not know. We know
what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
23. But the hour, the hour, the hour is coming.
And now is when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth. In spirit, which
is truth. So the hour is the hour where worship
will be what? By the spirit. For the father is
seeking such to worship him. Verse 24. God is
spirit. And those who worship him must worship
him in spirit. Which is truth. Which is true
worship. Jump to chapter 12. That same John.
Chapter 12 verse 23. John 12 verse 23. John chapter
12 verse 23. But Jesus answered them saying.
The hour has come. All right. Previously, we
established that the hour is when? It's after
his resurrection, right? Now, the specific time
where we see as the hour is after his resurrection.
Here, but Jesus answered them saying, the hour
has come that the son of man should be glorified.
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain
of wheat, he explains. How the son of man will
be glorified. I say to you, unless a grain of
wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains
all alone. But if it dies, it produces much grain.
So it produces much grain. Verse 26, 25, 25,
25. He who loves his life will lose it. And he
who hates his life in this world will keep it
for eternal life. If anyone serves me, let him
follow me. And there where I am, there my servant
will be also. If anyone serves me, him my father
will honor. Now, go back to the previous verses.
It talks about unless a ground of wheat is what?
Dies. And he's making reference to what? To himself.
He's making reference to his death. If you plant
a seed on the ground, right? What happens to
the seed? A corn. It dies. then it comes back
to life. It germinates. And when it grows, it
has different, much more, it multiplies. That
is to say that at his death, right, at his death
and his resurrection, there will be many. There
will be many. There will be us. There will be
many. The grain of wheat falls into the ground
and dies. It remains alone. Unless it is dead,
as of that moment, it remains alone. He's the
only begotten. But once he dies and then he rise
again from the dead, we all became sons of God.
We share in that sonship with him. Hallelujah.
So that hour is referring to what? It's referring
to the time of his resurrection. Amen? His resurrection.
Now, chapter 17, John chapter 17, verse 1 also,
we'll see also. Referring to the hour. John chapter
17 verse 1. Jesus spoke this word, lifted up
his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour
has come. Glorify your son that your son may
also glorify you. Hallelujah. So the hour, from
the text we've read, we can derive that the hour
refers to Jesus' resurrection. The specific time,
okay, that Jesus Christ, He's referring to is
what? His resurrection. So the miracle of turning
water into wine is symbolic of what will happen
in Jesus' resurrection. Okay? The symbolism of
what the miracle of turning water into wine is
a teaching on what Jesus will do at his resurrection.
Mary, was speaking of what? What was she speaking
of? She was speaking of a physical wine. Right?
While Jesus' focus is on something spiritual,
is on spiritual wine. Because the hour of Jesus
Christ will be at his resurrection. And what
will happen at his resurrection is a spiritual
activity. So we'll see that his wine will be
what? Will be at his hour. Jesus will give God's
wine in his hour, in his time, at his time, at
his hour. Now this new wine will be in the father's
kingdom. The kingdom is at his resurrection.
This one will be at his father's resurrection.
His father's kingdom, rather. Matthew 26, 29,
we see where he said this clearly. This wine
will be what? Will be in his father's kingdom.
Matthew 26, 29. But I say to you. Now the context
is that he was at a table with the disciples.
But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit
of the vine. That is wine. From now until the
day. When I drink it new with you in my father's
kingdom. What is this wine? He also referred
to the wine as his blood. Now, what we're trying
to do right now is we're trying to find definitions,
terminologies that Jesus used in his teaching.
And the goal is to help us to explain that rock.
Don't be confused. All right? So here, what is
Jesus' wine? What is the wine? He also called
the wine his blood. Go back to verse 26 of that
same Matthew 26, from verse 26. And as they were
eating, Jesus took the bread and blessed and
broke it and gave it to the disciples and said,
take, eat, this is my body. So what did he call
the bread? He called the bread his body. All
right? If I were you, I would also cycle somewhere
the bread. Because it is something. It symbolizes
something. So, 27. Then he took the cup and gave
thanks and gave it to them, saying, drink from
it, all of you. Drink from it, all of you. For
this is my blood. This is my blood of the new
covenant, which is shed for many for the remissions
of sins. So what is he talking about here? His
resurrection, right? What will happen in the
resurrection? But I say to you, I will not drink
of this fruit of the vine from now until that
day when I drink it now, new rather, with you.
In my father's kingdom. So he also referred to
the wine as his blood. So it is important to
take note of how Jesus uses vocabularies and
terminologies. Okay? It is important to see.
Now let's study more about his usage of words.
John chapter 6 verse 26. John chapter 6. Verse
26. Jesus answered them and said, Most assuredly,
I say to you, you seek me not because you sowed
the signs, but you ate of the loaves and were
filled. Remember we saw bread when he was with
his disciples, right? Now we're going to explain
what is his bread. Because do not label. Take
me back to verse 26. Jesus answered them and
said, most assuredly I say to you, you seek me
not because you saw the signs, but because you
ate of loaves and were filled. They ate what?
They ate physical bread and they were filled.
Verse 27. Do not labor for the food which perishes,
but for the food which endures to everlasting
life. Which the son of man will give you because
God, the father, has set his seed on him. Now
in this verse 27, we can see that there are two
types of food. Okay? First, there is a food which
perishes. And what is that food? The physical
food that you eat. And then the perishing of
that is that you go and throw it in the sewage.
Right? And it has perished. But Jesus now introduces
another food that yields, that he says, but for
the food which endures to everlasting life, which
the Son of Man will give you. So Jesus will give
a certain food, which when you eat, will lead
to eternal life. Amen? It will lead to eternal
life. So the background story here in this John
chapter 6. It's from verse 1. When Jesus had
performed the miracle of the feeding of the 5
,000, and then he began teaching about the kingdom.
Now, in verse 27, we see him contrasting two
kinds of food. Fiscal food and what? And spiritual
food. Amen? Fiscal food and what? And spiritual
food. Now, let's go to, let's continue our reading.
Verse 28. Then they said to him, what shall we
do that we may walk the works of God? As if they
are, you know, really out for the work of God.
What shall we do to walk the works of God? Now
look at what the work of God is. What is the
work of God? This is the work of God. Jesus said
to them, that you what? That you believe in him
whom he sent. Therefore they said to him, what
sign? Will you perform then that we may see it
and believe you? What work will you do? These
guys, they want food. They make reference to
their father. Who is their father? Their ancestors
under Moses. They said, our fathers ate the manna
in the desert as it is written. They knew from
scriptures, right? He gave them bread from heaven
to eat. Then Jesus said to them, most assuredly,
I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread
from heaven. All right? The bread you eat is
a physical bread. Moses did not give you the
bread from heaven, but my father gives the true
bread from heaven. The true bread from heaven,
true bread means, what does it mean? The word
true. The real bread, right? The one that is
permanent. We're not saying that the bread they
ate is a false bread, no. True here means one
that lasts forever and is from heaven. For a
bread of God, let's look at the definition of
a God's bread now. What is the definition of
their own bread? It's flour. Mixed with dough
baked in the oven. That is their own bread, right?
That is the definition of their bread. What is
God's definition of bread? For the bread of God
is what? Is a person. Amen? So when you see bread,
in God's language, the bread is a person. For
the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world. It means that what
Moses did was a picture or was speaking about
what Jesus will do. Jesus is the bread that gives
life. But started, yeah, 34. Then he said to
him, then they said to him, Lord, give us this
bread always. Give us this bread when? Always.
And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life.
I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall
never hunger. Because it's a true bread. It's
an eternal bread. Once you eat this bread, you
will never be hungry again. Alright? And he who
believes in me shall never thirst. But I say
to you, that you have seen me and yet do not
believe. So what does it mean to eat? It means
to believe. Yet you've seen this bread, but you've
refused to eat of this bread. God's definition
for eating is believing, right? We've done this
several times in church here. But I said to you
that you have seen me and yet do not believe.
All that the Father gives me, Will come to me.
And the one who comes to me. I will by no means
cast out. For I have come down from heaven. Not
to do my own will. But the will of him. Who sent
me. This is the will of the father. Who sent
me. That of all that he has given me. I should
lose nothing. But should raise it up. At the
last day. And this is the will of him who sent
me. That everyone who sees the son will do what?
And believes in him may have everlasting life.
And I will raise him up at the last day. Now,
what Jesus is doing here is telling them what
Moses did. Amen? He's teaching them Moses here.
What Moses did by giving them the physical bread.
The miracle Moses demonstrated of. Of feeding
the nation of Israel with the loves of bread.
Jesus replicated that by feeding 5 ,000. Moses
fed the children of Israel in the wilderness.
For how long? For 40 years. Jesus replicated
that miracle by feeding the 5 ,000. Verse 41.
And the Jews then complained about him because,
you know, the bread they were looking for is
not really Jesus. They want bread. They want
to eat food. The Jews then complained about him
because he said, I am the bread which came down
from heaven. And they said, is not this Jesus
the son of Joseph whose father and mother we
know? But you people ate 5 ,000, you people ate
that bread after, you didn't complain. Now when
he's telling you that he's a bread of life that
comes down from heaven, even with a sign he did,
he didn't believe. Whose father and mother we
know. How is it then that he says, I came, I
have come down from heaven. Jesus therefore answered
and said to them, do not murmur among yourselves.
No one can come to me unless the father. Who
sent me draws him. And I will raise him up at
the last day. It is written in the prophets.
Look at Jesus. Continuation of his teaching.
It is written in the prophets. And they shall
be taught by God. Therefore. Therefore. Everyone
who has heard and learned from the father. Comes
to me. Not that anyone. Has seen the father.
Except he. who is from God, he has seen the Father.
Most assuredly, I say to you, that is verily,
he who believes in me has everlasting life. He
who believes in me has everlasting life. 48.
I am, what? The bread of life. He keep hammering,
I am the bread of life. I am the bread of life.
Verse 49. Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness.
Now he's bringing home the teaching to them.
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness
and what happened to them? They died. Which means
that that bread is not a true bread. Which means
that that bread, if you eat it, you will not
live forever. You will not live everlasting life.
You will not have everlasting life. If you eat
the physical bread, you yourself will even perish.
This is the bread which comes down from heaven,
that one may eat of it and not die. So there's
a contrasting between the bread that Jesus was
speaking about and the bread that the men were
expecting. Similarly with the wine that we saw
earlier on at Cana. Okay? I am the living bread
which comes down from heaven. If anyone eats
of this bread, he will live when? Forever. And
the bread that I shall give is what? What is
the bread? The bread is my flesh. This bread
is my flesh which I shall give for the life of
the world. The bread is my flesh which I shall
give for the life of the world. Then the Jews
therefore quarreled among themselves saying,
how can this man give us his flesh to eat? How
can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus
said to them, most assuredly I say to you, unless
you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink
his blood, you have what? You have no life in
you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood,
Has eternal life. And I will raise him up at
the last day. So is Jesus referring to physical
flesh? Is Jesus referring to physical blood?
For my flesh is food indeed. And my blood is
what? Is drink indeed. So I want you to make
some parallel assumptions here right now. The
wine is what? Is a blood. Alright? The flesh
is also the what? Is the bread. Do we agree?
Can we see the parallel of this in his teachings?
So do we know the wine of God? Is the blood,
right? Do we know the bread of God? It is flesh.
Alright? So, let's continue. He who eats my flesh
and drinks my blood abides in me. Amen? You eat
the flesh, you drink the blood, you abide in
him, and I in him. How does a man come in union
with God? How does a man come in union with God?
How does God enter a man? By faith. By what?
The Spirit. All are there. As the living Father
sent me, and I live because of the Father, so
he who feeds on me will live because of me. Last
verse. This is the bread which comes down from
heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and
are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.
He who eats this bread will live forever. So
in verses 32, 33, we will see the bread Moses
gave their fathers and also the bread God gives.
Contrast of two different breads. Two kinds of
bread. The true bread means it is real and permanent.
It gives eternal life for one who eats it will
never hunger again. And what is their bread?
Their bread is what is egg make. It's flour.
And it is a shadow. It is a shadow. It is a symbol.
It is pointing toward the God's bread, the true
bread, the body of Jesus Christ. So we accept
the divination of Jesus, right? So when we see
bread, we know what it means. It's a vocabulary
in the kingdom. We know what it means. Hallelujah.
So when you say bread, when we say bread in this
house, we know what bread is. What is bread?
Bread is the body of Jesus Christ. We know what
blood is, blood of Jesus Christ. Blood of Jesus
Christ is what we drink in the kingdom so that
we can have life. Amen? But if you tell an unbeliever
outside there that you eat flesh and you drink
blood, how will they understand what you are
saying? It becomes what? It becomes a mystery.
But this mystery can be explained. By what? By
explanation, by teaching. As we are knowing now,
that when we say blood, flesh and blood in the
context of Jesus Christ, we are referring to
his body. And that is what we eat. So that we
can have him in us. Hallelujah. So we accept
the definition of Jesus as the kingdom vocabulary.
Our bread is the body of Jesus. We have eaten.
And what does it mean to eat? We have believed.
the body, and have drunk his blood. And then
from verse 60 to 65, that's John 60, 65, chapter
6, verse 60 to 65, we see they refuse to believe.
Give me verse 60, from verse 60. It says, therefore
many of his disciples, when they had this said,
this is a hard saying, who can understand it?
When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples
complained about this, he said to them, does
this offend you? Do you get offended by this
thing? What then if I should see, what if you
should see the son of man ascending where he
was before? And then he made it clear. This is
what I'm meaning. What gives life? It is the
spirit who gives life. You eat bread, you have
life. So what he's explaining to disciples here,
he's telling them that the bread is what? Is
spirit. Alright? The bread, the blood, the wine,
is his spirit. Do we understand? Do you understand?
Jamila, what is the bread? His spirit. What is
the wine? His spirit. What is the blood? His
spirit. Alright? So, these symbols is referring
to what? His spirit. It is the spirit who gives
life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that
I speak to you are spirit and they are life.
But there are some of you who do not believe.
For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were,
who did not believe, and who would betray him.
And he said, therefore I have said to you that
no one can come to me unless it has been granted
to him by my Father. And of course, it's through
faith. Hallelujah. So we can see that the flesh
of Jesus Christ, the blood of Jesus Christ, refers
to what? To his spirit, to his spirit. So our
definition of the flesh is a spirit. Our definition
of the bread is a spirit. Jesus also used water
in teaching about the spirit. Symbolism, right?
Jesus also used water in teaching about the spirit.
John chapter 3 from verse 1, we'll see. Let's
go to John chapter 3 verse 1. John chapter 3
verse 1. There was a man of the Pharisees named
Nicodemus. This man came to Jesus by night and
said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher.
Come from God, for no one can do these signs
that you do unless God Is with him. Unless God
is with him. Jesus answered and said to him.
Most assuredly I say to you. Unless one is born
again. He cannot see. The kingdom of heaven.
So to be in the kingdom of heaven. You must be
born again. So Nicodemus. Now there is a contrast
here. Okay. Jesus Christ was explaining. Birth.
Alright? Jesus Christ was explaining birth, the
new birth. And then what Nicodemus was able to
see was a physical birth. Now, let's continue.
Nicodemus said to him, how can a man be born
when he is old? Can he enter a second time into
his mother's womb and be born? Jesus answered,
most assuredly I say to you, unless one is born
of what? Of water. And the spirit, now we've
explained in church here that the water, that
idea is best explained as what? Which is, right?
Born of water, which is the spirit. He cannot
enter the kingdom of God. That which is born
of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of
the spirit, spirit. Do not marvel that I say
to you, you must be born again. The wind blows
where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it,
but cannot tell where it comes from and where
it goes. So it's everyone who is born of the
Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said to him, How
can these things be? Jesus answered and said
to him, Are you the teacher of Israel and not
know these things? Because these things have
been explained in the writings of the prophets.
These things have been explained by the writings
of Moses. How can you not understand these things
and you are a teacher of Israel? Most assuredly
I say to you, we speak what we know and testify
what we have seen. And you do not receive our
witness. It's referring to the unbelief of the
people. If I have told you earthly things and
you do not believe, how will you believe if I
tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended
to heaven, but he who came down from heaven,
that is the son of man who is in heaven. Now,
he went back to the books of Moses, Numbers 29.
To bring home the point, he says, and as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even
so must the son of man be lifted up. That is,
as Moses taught the children of Israel. All right?
Lifting up the serpent is Moses' teaching about
Jesus. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, the men will look up, the men will
see and believe that whoever believes in him
should not perish, but have eternal life. And
then, for God so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten son. It was not direct. Whoever
believes in him should not perish, but have what?
Have everlasting life. For God did not send his
son into the world to condemn the world, but
that the world through him might be saved. And
of course, this prophecy about water being the
spirit, we see it in Ezekiel 36, verse 25 to
27. That is where Jesus Christ Was. Teaching
from. Water as the spirit. Where is that you
must be born. You must be what. So let's look
at John. John chapter 7 verse 37. Where he explicitly.
John 7 verse 37. On the last day. That great
day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out saying,
if anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and do
what? And drink. He who believes in me, as the
scripture has said, out of his heart will flow.
Rivers of living water. Verse 39. But this. Look
at it. The rivers of living water. But this he
speaks of what? He spoke concerning the spirit.
Whom those believing in him will receive. For
the Holy Spirit was not yet given. Because Jesus
was not yet what? Glorified. So what is the water?
The spirit. All right? Go back to verse 38. He
says, verse 37. If anyone tasks, let him come
to me and drink. 38, yes. He who believes in
me as the scripture has said. Jesus said, as
the scripture has said. Okay, what does it mean
by as the scripture has said? Is there any verse
in the Bible that said this specific thing that
Jesus said? As the scripture have said, out of
his heart will flow the rivers of living water.
Now, if you go through the Old Testament, right,
you will not see anywhere in scripture exactly
as portrayed at the heart of his heart. Some
people, oftentimes, they say it's Zechariah 14
verse 8. Let's look at Zechariah chapter 14 verse
8. This is not this text. That's not a reference.
Zechariah 14 verse 8. Zechariah 14 verse 8. Media,
help me. They don't have Zechariah in their Bible.
Okay? Zechariah 14 verse 8. Alright, they are
here. And in that day, It shall be that living
water shall flow from Jerusalem, half of them
towards the eastern sea and half of them towards
the western sea, in both summer and winter, and
in all winter it shall occur. And the Lord shall
be king over the earth. In that day it shall
be the Lord is one, and his name is one. Now,
this is not exactly the same quotation. But then,
when Jesus Christ said that, As the scripture
says, what he's meaning here, right? Listen to
me carefully. What he's meaning here is that
the entire scripture is a context of what Jesus
say here. Are we together? The entire scripture
that is from Malachi, from Genesis to Malachi,
is the context of what Jesus Christ is speaking
here. So we can conclude based on this evidence
that what? That the teachings, this is what we
are trying to hit. This is where we're headed
to. That the teachings and the miracles of Jesus
Christ are concerning what he will do when? When
will he do them? In his resurrection. Alright?
These are the things that will be accomplished
at his resurrection. The vocabulary or the use
of words Jesus employed in teaching about the
kingdom, in explaining the things concerning
the kingdom, are different from that of which
we see in the world. Meaning that what? That
what Jesus Christ will say is bread. Okay? Will
be different from what the world will say is
bread. What Jesus Christ will say is water. When
you see water, what Jesus Christ will mean will
be different from what the world will say is
water. Are we together? So in this kingdom, we
have a vocabulary. We have terminologies that
we must understand. It's very important. It's
crucial to understanding scriptures. It's important
in understanding scriptures. Hallelujah. Are
we together? So, in the same light, the rock
and the church, right? When Jesus Christ said
the rock and when he said the church, it must
be the same. Rock and church that has been spoken
of by Moses. That have been taught by the writings
of Moses. The Psalms and the prophets. Because
we have seen the background of all that Jesus
did and taught. Where from what? Where from the
Old Testament text. The church will be the church
when? In his resurrection. So. What is expected
of us, therefore, is that we can accept, that
we should accept Jesus' use of terminologies.
What he says is what it is. God's definition
must be our definition. We believe what he says
it is so that we can understand his word and
walk in his word. Now, what is the rock? What
is the rock? Matthew 16, verse 18. Matthew 16,
verse 18. And I also say to you that you are
Peter. And on this rock, I will build my church,
and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against
it. So how are we going to explain this rock?
Someone should help us. How are we going to explain
this rock now? We've done, this is a biblical
interpretation, right, Pastor Victor? Okay, so
how are we going to explain this rock now? Someone
should chorus it for us. How are we going to
explain this rock? Hmm? From the scripture? From
Matthew? Because Matthew is scripture too. From
where? From the Old Testament. What is Old Testament?
Hmm? Sisters, do you agree with him? If we want
to understand what that rock is, where should
we go to? Speak louder, we can hear. Writings
of Moses, right? Because Jesus Christ will not
bring in something from somewhere. Are we together?
Because he came to fulfill, to accomplish what
was already written. So if you want to see what
the rock is, then we have to go back to where?
Let's go back. to the writings of Moses in order
for us to understand what that rock is. So let's
see what Moses wrote concerning the rock. What
Moses wrote concerning the rock. Exodus chapter
33. Exodus 33. Amen. Move to verse 12, from verse
12. Then the Lord said to Moses, no, then Moses
said to the Lord, see, you say to me, bring up
these people, bring up these people, but you
have not let me know whom you will send with
me. Yet you have said, I know you by name, and
you have also found grace in my sight. Now, therefore,
I pray, if I have found favor in your sight,
show me your way, that I may know you, that I
may find grace in your sight, and consider that
this nation is your people. And he said, my presence
will go with you and I will give you rest. Then
he said to him, if your presence does not go
with us, do not bring us up from here. For how
then will it be known that your people and I
have found grace in your sight, except you go
with us? So we shall be separate, your people
and I, from all the people who are upon the face
of the earth. So the Lord said to Moses, I will
also do this thing that you have spoken. For
you have found grace in my sight. And I know
you by name. And he said, please, please, please
show me your glory. Then he said, I will make
all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim
the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious
to whom I will be gracious, and I will have mercy
on whom I will have compassion. That's what compassion
is, mercy. But he said, you cannot see my face,
for no man shall see me and live. And the Lord
said, here is a place by me. And you shall stand
on the rock. Do we see a rock here? Amen? Do
we see the rock? And you shall what? And you
shall stand on what? On the rock. So the terminology
of Jesus Christ is not what? It's not new. Okay?
In fact. Even when Jesus Christ was talking about
a house, that he will hear my word and what?
Matthew 7, right? It's likened unto a man who
do what? Who build his house on what? On a rock.
Okay? That is way because he will not bring out
something from nowhere. And the Lord said, here
is a place by me. and you shall stand on the
rock. So it shall be while my glory passes by,
that I will put you in the cleft of the rock,
and will cover you with my hand while I pass
by. Then I will take away my hand, and you shall
see my back, but my face shall not be seen. Hallelujah.
So, verse 18. Verse 18. Moses asks for something.
Say, please, show me your glory. Show me your
glory. Amen? And the question is, what is glory?
What is the glory that Moses wants to see? You
know, when we were younger, we've been, oh, ignorance
of consumers. We used to pray this prayer, you
know. God, show us your glory. And what we define
as glory was we want to see power. You know?
Moses was asking for power from God. Moses was
asking for a new dimension. He was asking for
a new dimension of operation. And that is how
oftentimes we've interpreted this passage. Moses
requested to see the glory of God. Now, I want
us to pause a little bit and look at who Moses
is. Right? Moses has experienced the power of
God. Do we agree? That Moses have seen the miraculous.
Do we agree? In fact, in the entire scriptures,
right? Nobody. Nobody. has worked in the dimension
of power that Moses has worked in. If it's miraculous,
nobody has performed the miracles that Moses
did. Even Jesus Christ, when he was in earth,
did not do the miracles Moses did. Do you know
why? Okay, let's take one miracle and analyze.
Jesus fed the 5 ,000, right? Moses fed the entire
nation of Israel for 40 years. With bread. Jesus
asked for lots of bread and do the miracle. Moses
commanded the bread to appear for 40 years. Only
men and women above, right? Okay, only men. That's
the census, right? 20 years and above were counted,
right? In the time of Moses. So over 600 ,000
people. Without women and children. For how many
years? For 40 years. Okay. Imagine the magnitude
of miracle that Moses performed. When they were
tasked for water, Moses made water come out of
rock, rock, stone. Water came out of it. Is this
not power? Peter walked on water, right? Moses
separated the sea. People walk on dry ground.
Peter even doubted. Amen? Moses is a dangerous
man. He asked the water to separate. Part in
one end. Let them march until the entire nation
of Israel pass through the Red Sea. Then he turned
and said, we are closed back. This is power.
This is miracle. This is dimension. Let's even
go to Egypt and let's begin to count the things
that he did in Egypt. What was the first thing
he did in Egypt? Let's count it randomly. Please
tell me. What are the plagues? Give us one. Water
in the entire country. He turned it into blood.
What else again? Frogs were everywhere, full
everywhere. What again? Flies and locusts. What
again? Darkness. Imagine you cause the entire
nation to be dark. No sunlight. He controlled
nature. Tell me who in the Bible performed this
kind of miracle apart from Moses? What is again?
Just imagine. That one is the pig. He performed
snake. Came out from his staff. He turned into
snake. All right. What else? I want us to, this
is important in understanding what Moses was
asking for. If you cannot catch this revelation,
then it will be difficult. When we begin to interpret
what that glory is, it's going to be difficult.
He saw the burning bush. In fact, when he encountered
God first, God gave him an appetizer. Say Moses,
throw your stuff on the ground, right? It didn't
turn to snake. Say pick it up, pick it up. This
is stage one. Stage one is burning bush. Fire
was burning, right? And it was not burning. Imagine,
you see fire catching something and then it's
not burning. Moses, let me just turn and see.
Okay? And then leprosy. His hand became leprous.
This one came too close. So if it's power and
the miraculous, even the birth and the survival
of Moses is a miracle. When they were killing
people, killing children, How did Moses survive
that age? Was it ordinary? His survival, he grew
up in the very place where the order to kill
children was made. So Moses is a definition of
what? of the experience of power, of the miraculous,
and even his death was a miracle. Even his death
is a miracle. He died, nobody could know where
his body is. Some contemporary writers, when
they write about Moses, they see him as a mystery.
No wonder when you begin to write the things
you wrote in Genesis, Exodus, sometimes you begin
to wonder what kind of understanding did this
man have? Where did he get this wisdom of writing
the things he wrote? He was not there. He was
not even born. Some of the things he saw, he
wrote. The entire Bible, let me tell you, the
entire scripture. is founded on what Moses wrote.
The writings of Moses is the Bible. If you take
away the writings of Moses, there is no Bible,
there is no Christianity. So this is a man that
I've tested. That's tested. He has experienced
God mightily. You know. We've not even talked
about the tabernacle. Where Moses will climb
up to the mountain and then cloud will cover.
All the mysterious things that happen. In the
wilderness, when some people gang up against
him, the ground open and swallow them up. See,
sometimes I wonder. With the kind of, with the
things you see in this man's life, you're not
scared of Miriam and Cody. We're not scared of
even saying bad things about him. Somebody that
when he comes down, the Bible says that he covers
his face, right? Hallelujah. But Moses requested,
say Lord. Show me what? Show me thy glory. Show
me thy glory. What is this glory? What is this
glory? There was something that he was looking
for to see. I just want you to just begin to
pray. I feel that you just start praying on your
seat. Just speak to God. Open your mouth and
speak to God. Speak to God. Speak to God. What
is your desire? What do you desire? What do you
desire? We look forward to having you with us
next time. God bless.
