Understanding the Shofar and Worship

foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] something this is thank you foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] thank you for the cocoa machine over there over there you think Andrew okay okay foreign [Music] Hallelujah shabbat shalom we're going to get started with service and before we before we do it I wanted to quickly quickly talk about the the significance of blowing the shofar does anyone know why we blow the shofar so it's a sound to let us know to to let yahuwah pay attention and for us to know that he's here so more importantly uh the shofar actually represents his voice the shofar represents the voice of yah so when you look at Exodus 19 and 20 when he talked to Moshe before his presence or during his presence it says it talks about that there was thundering and there was lightning why would it be a reason for the shofar there was thunder and lightning because that's loud enough right so so far this consists of four Hebrew letters it's the shin devive the pay and the Resh Shin Vive pay Resh in represents destruction but that's also a signature of yah because he has the ability to give life and he also has the ability to take life and then Vive Vive means to join together but it symbolizes to connect a connection Hallelujah and then pay is a a symbol of her mouth it means to say something it means to speak and then Rush represents person so we put that together Shin represents yah wants to connect with us by speaking to the people Hallelujah so when we blow the shofar and you hear it from now on from this day forth just know that yah is about to say something I want to listen Hallelujah and it represents [Applause] start of his presence it announces his presence you know it's kind of like somebody walking in the house and uh hello I'm here so this represents a starting service but it represents Yasin I'm here and when we know that our yah is present we acknowledge his presence with standing we announce his presence with praise we announce his presence with worship we announce his presence with Thanksgiving it says to enter into his games with Thanksgiving in our hearts and entering certain sports with praise not just anyone can enter into his courts hallelujah hallelujah [Music] thank you again [Music] we thank you for your presence [Music] if you give us life [Music] we thank you hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah [Music] Hallelujah [Music] Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah [Music] hallelujah hallelujah [Music] shabbat shalom everybody [Music] okay so you might need to get you some space anybody know he is good anybody know himaker in this house anybody needed him to be a lawyer [Music] the stuff just was happening and getting out of control now we often know him for all our triumphs but let's talk about when things are right anybody know him to just be good ain't nothing happening ain't nothing falling apart it's just all joy and peace anybody know that kind of y'all anybody living in that kind of atmosphere right now cause everybody ain't messed up right everybody ain't having trouble all the time right so we praise them in season and out of season our son says that we're gonna step into the praise we're gonna step into the freedom we're gonna step into Joy we're gonna step into peace so that's why I told you you got to get into the aisle probably and you might have to get some room cause you might have to step whoa you might have to step all right we all know that we'll get to a club and we'll snap right we'll do a hustle right oh come on y'all buy twos in here oh come on now you know you got rhythm in here so today we gonna step right we're gonna step we're gonna snap it out hey the whole way through yeah step into the joy of me I step into the joy of my eyes stepping through the joy over yeah [Music] [Music] my soul's been waiting for you to restore me I got real Joy now yeah it's real toys [Applause] [Music] [Applause] this is [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] this is the Freedom Place [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] this is [Music] mine is trusted in me but you gotta come down five more verses because the scriptures literally tell us who trust in y'all and it says we trust in You by obeying your laws that we may glorify your name that's the New Living Translation version so in case you wondering if he's looking at your heart what is he looking for he's looking for the Torah to be written upon it what is that in the case that you are in Covenant so you got a right to step this morning all right you got a right to step this morning [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it is [Music] [Applause] [Music] the greatest [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it's great and I imagine it's great and I imagine it's raining I imagine [Music] you know he did say that he would do exceedingly and abundantly above all we could ask for things correct so you have to really think it's greater than you ever imagined the joy that you can imagine the joy that you can fathom the peace that you can fathom it's greater than that so we have to sit an expectation to expect greater greater Joy greater peace the happiest you think you can be it's impossible for you to be happier the joy that you think you've had the greatest day that you think you've had there is actually better than that because it's greater than you're imagined because he's going to do exceedingly abundantly above all you could ever imagine or think Hallelujah I want y'all to say that I imagine that's your way of saying thank you for allowing me wrong to think bigger greater than I imagined is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] your choice [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] thank you I'm grateful that I can think bigger I can imagine bigger Hallelujah he's greater than I imagined and sometimes I think really big and really crazy you know they say go wild you're gonna live live large but to know that he's got greater than that Hallelujah I just want to encourage all of you that our joy and our peace depend on what's Happening our joy and our peace depends on who is so you literally can be in all hell and still have joy and still have peace we Minister before y'all her grandfather my uncle passed away great pain [Music] that we still standing joy and that we still standing peace so I want to lift our understanding of what joy and peace is it does not depend on what's Happening you can literally step right into joy and peace [Music] perfect work in you we can do that just by our obedience right if I am obedient to the most high who can stand against me [Music] what can come against me gotta believe that he's here and I guarantee you day by day as we walk with him there was a point in time in my life that my husband would walk through the door and say what do you smile about can you imagine me today like what I just told you but I had to learn [Music] I had to learn and that's why the scriptures tell us [Music] it's in the name yahuwah saves [Music] it's in the name he will save you right away he will come right

week for the last couple weeks Dr Howard was talking on heart heart issues and how the fox eats away at the heart Hallelujah and so I thought it would be fitting to talk about um a clean heart when it comes to the Hebrew word of the week that we need to know really what it means to have a clean heart to have a pure heart biblical scriptural the hebraic form so for the Hebrew word of the week again it's clean heart which is [Music] means your heart means clean it means pure so if you look up Strong's 38-20 you have lave or labe which is your inner man it is your will it is your mind it is also your heart your heart this is the center of what we do why we do it and then we have tejor which is Strong's 28 89 which means clean or pure it's essential that we come before him with a clean heart so right here that weed in Psalms 51 and 10 says create in me a clean heart o Elohim and renew a right ruach Within Me so we probably quoted that so many different times and we think of clean as just the Western version of something that is uh not tainted something that is a little bit more pure than what it it was was when we like we think about our water system we look to clean our water it goes through this filtration system if you will so dawid said to create and meat a clean heart o Elohim and renew a right ruach Within Me you can go to the next which means clean it consists of four different letters we have the Tet the hay the Vive in the Resh so tech means to surround the hay represents life it represents breath it also represents the ruach not just any ruach but the ruach hakodesh and then Vive Vive means to join together or even to connect something together and then last we have Resh which we know that it means Prince but it also means a person but in this sense with taeyor it means The Prince and we know the prince that he's referring to is our Prince of Peace Hallelujah so just before we even go any further we know that this Prince not only gives us uh peace but he has something to do with our heart with the inside of us we go to the next so when we put that together to have a clean heart means to have a heart that is surrounded with the ruach hakodesh which is connected to the prince so if we don't have the ruachakodesh it's impossible for us to have a clean heart so we asked the question do we need the Holy Spirit do we need the ruach we absolutely need the ruach conquer deaths and this is probably primarily the reason why we need it said to surround my heart with the ruach hockadesh remember afterwards he said create me he said create a clean uh clean heart and renewing me a right ruach was impossible for our to be right without the ruach cockadesh Hallelujah you go to the next so that word if we revisit what he said he said remember we talked about barashith which it means create it means to literally to start all over to start all over to create and meet a clean heart or Elohim and renew a right ruach Within Me cast me not away from your presence and take not your ruach hakodesh and so that scriptural correspondence tells us that the Royal kakadesh is absolutely connected to our Prince because right there it says your ruach hakadesh so in order for us to really have a clean heart we need to embody the heart of our mashiach Hallelujah so when we really examine his life examine what he did examine who he was and then examine ourselves to compare ourselves to him that we truly have a clean heart and it literally is going to start with the ruach hakadish that's why the ruach hakodesh is so important for us to even have because it's cleaning up this this heart but why did he use the word create because we already have a heart why did he use the word create so you go go to the next one and it'll tell us why we need a new a new heart not just a a refurbished one right here at yokona 14 and 26 it said so but the comforter which is the ruachakodesh whom the father will send in my name so again that's another connection are we saying that he's definitely connected to Yeshua he's definitely connected to the prince so teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance all things why do you say all things why do we need why do we need to teach us all things if something is new and you start all over again if you have amnesia then everything that you thought you once knew need to be taught when people go through trauma and they can no longer walk they need to learn how to walk again Hallelujah that's why the ruach is so important so we go to the next one and this is why I need to teach us all things it says the heart is deceitful Above All Things and desperately wicked when I looked up what it means to be desperately wicked it literally means incurable it literally means to be incurable so it cannot be fixed so if we don't have the ruach cockadesh which is the the surgeon if you will then again you stuck with this desperately wicked you stuck with it it says that it's literally incurable so that's why that's why we need a clean heart that's why he have to borrow that's why he got to create us a new heart so even when we go to Ezekiel 36 and 26 when he talk about that he will give us a new heart that's why we need a new heart because the one we have we can blame it on Adam and Eve or whomever or we can blame it on ourselves but we need a new heart we have a heart condition that is incurable [Music] that's our heart but it says this who can know it we know who can know it and that's the reason why we need a new one because we can't hide it and it says yahuwah searched the heart he tried the mind even to give every man according to his ways and according to the fruit or the parade of his doing which means our heart is so desperately wicked that it cannot give any other fruit other than the fruit of our own doing which means he the ruach cockadesh does not exist in this old Wicked perverse desperately wicked heart so we wonder why we need the ruach kakadesh or why it's so important there you have it that's the question to that answer because I've heard it many times do we really need the ruach hakodesh without it you go have an uncurable desperately wicked heart now it's good that everybody is saying wow but I have a theory that something needs to happen after the wild that application application needs to happen after the while because if anything else if something happened and you saw something happen on the street you'll say wow but then you need to do something about the wild so if you know that you really don't have the ruach hakodesh or you don't have any fruit of the ruach hakadesh that's the essential reason why we need to get it because if not you really walking around with a bad heart and then it says that you only go see the fruit of your own doing so your Frugal be Wicked because it's only as good as what's in the heart can you go to the next one so the root origin of Strong's parade when they talk about fruit it's for it'll actually go you take you back to Strong's 6509 which is parole parole means to bear fruit so we know what scripture talk about when it talks about fruit you can't bear a a bad tree won't bear good fruit and a good tree won't bear bad fruit so in order to be this good tree to Bear good fruit you must first have the ruakakadesh inside so when that word is being fed inside that is actually starting to grow so that follow ground isn't just our ears but it's our heart and the ruach cockadesh is that tiller Hallelujah so we'll go to the next one so there's a number associated with each and every letter as well and so for tet the number nine the number nine actually represent the fruit of the spirit or the fruit of the ruach hakodesh so when he asked for This Clean Heart he said give me give me give me this ruach hakadesh because it again nine represents the Fruit of the Spirit and then hey is the number five which represents Grace because somehow if some of that uncurable kind of leaked out and seeped into you you you kind of find yourself going back to the wrong things that we need we need Grace and then Vive Vive is the number six Man was created on the sixth day it represents man but it also represents the weakness of man because again if we operate in ourselves we only go see the fruit of our doing and that's really our weakness remember we talked about Yasha real the only reason why we're strong because of our connection so when our connection is broken and then the last one is Resh which is the number 200. so whenever we talk about the sufficiency of yah that's in comparison to the insufficiency of man Hallelujah which takes us to the next point so all that put together is our Prince which is Yeshua hamashiach is sufficient enough to overcome the weaknesses of us by cleanses of cleansing us through Grace of yah and to produce the fruit of yah of his Rock in our life but you will not get that fruit if you do not have the ruach hakodesh and there's a scripture that talks about this cleansing process and this is found in First Corinthians 6 11. and such were some of you but ye were washed but ye are sanctified but ye are justified in the name of Adonai our Prince Yeshua hamashiach and by the ruach of yah so we know that the ruach hakodesh is a gift from our father to help us along the way because he knew we couldn't we couldn't continue in His image without it so just think of the ruach as a shadow the shadow of yah filling us with his shadow in order for us to walk in it you go to the next so we knew that laid already was Lyman and bait which means the authority within that each and every one of us has an authority within ourselves that we have the ability to do what we want to do when we want to do it and how we want to do it but just know that if we look at it this way which is how we see laid or our heart as being that we're simply going to only get the fruit of our own doing that we won't show no fruit of the ruach hakodesh so this actually has numbers attached to it as well so what we do see here is our own authority within us but how we should see it when we go to the numbers is 30 represents the blood sacrifice and number two represents the Sun so what looks to be our inner Authority we should look at it as the blood sacrifice of the Sun as in looking to do what he did you think about when he went on the cross or when he went on the tree when he he sacrificed what happened he said not my will but your will so not my inner Authority but yours which means are in order for us to in order for him to create a clean heart in US it got to be by our own will that we submit our heart to him in order for him to do such a thing because he's not going to do it on his own Hallelujah helps to us to hand over our heart to submit our heart to submit our will over to him that he may rework it replace it and that we may walk in it Hallelujah Hallelujah so I just wanted that to to kind of I wanted that to complement um Dr Howard's teaching that he that we did throughout these past couple weeks that what it really means to have a a clean heart Hallelujah Hallelujah that will conclude the uh the Hebrew word [Applause] can we uh can we just stand really quickly Dr Howard's going to come up but but we want to we want to thank yah for any Revelation that he ever gives us any of his word that he ever gives us we want any opportunity that we have we want to take it as a moment uh and more so as an obligation to render to him what belongs to him Hallelujah so we can just go into just a worship [Music] thank you ABBA [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] good morning please [Music] cream ER I'm ready [Music] come on

of worship [Music] of who you're worshiping you're tasting life how long shall we halt between two opinions how long shall we purportedly continue to taste death [Music] Eve and Adam [Music] no longer

yahuwah scent was bad [Music] reclassify you thought that she can sanctify what the most high rejected as you're worshiping ask the most high to create in you a clean heart to renewing you a right

you sit at the helm of hearing from him [Music] what would be and a physicists an obstruction to you activity of your life there are other voices that's competing against the voice of the most high the most high is always speaking he promised to speak to us even in our famish [Music] Even in our captivity even as an exilic lying people you promised to speak and he's speaking out the issue is not what you hear is how you hear and unless you deal with how you hear what you hear will be an effective Dee could you give me something just give me something sporadic don't even flow with the rest of them just give me something sporadic don't flow just just make noise let's make some noise make some loud noise don't stop nope don't go with them don't go with them don't flow with them just go I'm the most high and I'm speaking to you but there is competition for your attention some of you it's very hard for you to hear me because of the activity of your life [Music] you play something totally offbeat you take something wrong [Music] Ness of your life [Music] but your focus on the noise and the Clutter was drown on my voice in order to hear me you gotta Focus to hear me you gotta be in

and turn down the television in order to hear me you gotta fight beyond the activity they're still playing the activity is still going on you you sit at the Hem of your life and if you're going to hear the most high if you're going to hear him speak you must minimize the distractions in your life yacht was always speaking to you the fact that there was noise in your life has had nothing to do with him not speaking he's still speaking to you but unless you minimize the destruction all of your life you'll spend 20 30 40 50 years void of the voice of the most high does he speak steal small and if there's too much activity it will crowd out The Voice of the most high Hallelujah hallelujah thank you all so much Hallelujah [Applause] shabbat shalom everybody it is imperative that we learn the discipline there is an art there is a science and there is a discipline hear the voice of the most high in fact the word discipline the root word is disciple in order to be a true disciple of the most high it takes discipline takes discipline the proof of your desire is always in your Pursuit how bad do you want there was a young boy who went to his mentor and would bug him to teach him how to have a passion for yah like he does and every day this boy was persistent every day he was persistent inquiring of his mentor how do you have a study habit how do you have a relationship and a passion for yah and the boy is persisted so one day the mentor took him fishing on a boat while they were on a boat that question came up again said Mentor I've been asking you for weeks now how do I have The Sensational passion for y'all and we'll have a study happen like you have how do I get close to the most high like you and out of nowhere abruptly the mentor tucked the mentee grabbed him by the neck and put his head under the water and left it there and the mentee was thinking in his head he's trying to kill me he brought me all the way out here in the middle of the pond to kill me and the mentee was gasping for air and right when he was about to take his last breath the mentor pulled him back up out of the water and once he gathered himself the mentor said you want to know how to have the unquenchable fire for yah like I do you want to know the techniques the discipline to have a study habit like I have he said you will have what I have when you want yah like you wanted your last breath of air when you are so desperate you can't live without them that's when you'll draw close to him that they can have all of your your luxurious items they can have your family they can have all of the cares of this life but take not thy spirit away from me unless that becomes your mantra you'll never apprehend that which you are apprehended by Paul said I seek to apprehend that which I'm apprehended by I know that yah has a good hold of me but my goal in life is to get a good hold of what has a hold of me and unless that becomes your motivation is to apprehend yah like he's apprehended you you all for you will always fall short of your objective of knowing him you're going to compromise and you're going to settle because that's why the psalmist said I pursue hard after yah that needs to be your motivation to pursue after yeah swam in the truth now because not because I couldn't operate within the Christian construct but I wanted yah more than I wanted tradition wanted to seek hard after him unless that is your motivation that is your objective to seek hard after him you're going to always fall short Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hebrew apologetic of the week we promised you we're going to bring up the Hebrew apologetic let's bring up the Hebrew apologetic of the week Hallelujah it's good to see Mama and Papa laws Hallelujah shabbat shalom shabbat shalom Hallelujah Hallelujah you want to say something Hallelujah head covering so before we get right into this brief teaching today head covering so head covering is head covering is is an obligatory how many of you have been a part of Hebrew communities or some community that said that head covering is obligatory say it again and certain situations is obligatory okay good talk to me because that's the Hebrew way the Hebrew way Hebrew is a concrete is concrete language right it's not abstract and so in our culture machiak and many of those of our elders of the past there was dialogue don't you ever think that the most high is going to regulate you to a western hemisphere construct don't you ever think he's going to regulate you to the talking head or what we call the Sage on the stage that's that's Greek that's a western hemisphere construct where you just have philosophers it's what we call philosophers Kings it's this a speciation and you just sit there to learn that is a western construct that is diametrically opposed to the Hebrew way Hebrew way there is dialogue Malachi wrote that those who feared the most high spake among one another and he heard them the word spake is where we get the term and it means to concoct it means to create and so in order for things to be created in the shamahin is through dialogue prophetic dialogue is necessary right and the most high heard them Shima he heard in order to what to re to act upon what he hears this is the word Shema to act upon so our language is um is Noni perpendicular but it is interactive we are to interact so Tiana said now she got a clause in it okay so you believe is mandated and is cultural praise God this is why we have Shabbat gatherings because we need to grow in the grace of the martial is that correct and so we need to come into the full many of us we are ever learning but never coming into the knowledge of the truth so remember just moments ago we talked about the ability to hear from yah and yah is always speaking as we found in Ezekiel chapter 14 as we've been going over this series over the last couple weeks yah is always speaking but we need to turn down the activity of our life in order to hear him because often he speak as he said in our patriarchy in a still Small Voice so we got to be able to hear him however what crowds the space of the most high is tradition tradition is what you believe before you hear so therefore it doesn't matter what the most high is saying because unless you deal with how you hear what you hear is going to be ineffective so we got to make sure that as Believers in the mashiach we deal with how we hear because if you don't deal with how you hear is going to be an obstruction to what you hear so the most high would speak but he's going to speak Ezekiel said in Ezekiel chapter 14 that he will speak according to the what Idols that you set in your heart the preconditions that you set in your heart so this word Idol is equivalent to the Greek term a law you ever read where uh in the britisha in the New Testament uh where moscioch said unless you get the beam out of your eye or the speck or the law it's the equivalent a Greek word of that Hebrew word is log or preconditions of your heart it's stuff that you keep on tripping over the items that you keep on stumbling over obstructions that you have not overcome so that's very important when we understand that so that's why we come here to learn let's look at First Corinthians chapter 11. let's get some precept on that because we can have content all day long but if we don't have context it means nothing so let's get some context on our content first first Corinthians chapter 11 we'll start at verse 4 every man praying and prophesying having his head covered just under his head but every woman that prayeth or prophesied with her head uncovered Dishonored her head for that is even all one if she were shaven now shaven and shorn are two different words but they are equivalent to one another particularly in the Greek language right so shaving and shorn and Paul talk about it often for if a woman not be covered let her also be shorn but if she be ashamed for a woman to be shorn or shaven just a term shorter shaven which means of the same length let her be covered for a man indeed ought not to cover his head for as much as he is the image or the glory of the most high but the woman is the glory of man for the man is not of the woman but the woman is of the man neither was the Man created for the woman but the woman was created for the man for this cause or a woman to have power on her head because of the Angels now it's going to get into the Natural Things verse 11 nevertheless neither is The Man Without The Woman either the woman without the man um in the most high for as the woman is of the man even so is the man also by Woman by the woman but all things of the most high judge in yourselves it is calmly that a woman pray unto the most high what uncovered right so there's a question that shall is asking so do not even nature itself teach us that if a man have long hair it is a shame unto him but a woman have long hair it is the glory is her glory for her hair is given her for a what for a what for for a covering now do we have to understand when we look at um what we call textual criticism we always have to look at contextualizing the scriptures contextualizing the scriptures means we need to look at the whole circumference of the text because if we only look at we cherry pick and we sound bite and we take one scripture and we build a Doctrine we lead a lot of people astray and it has residual impact you all agree so it's very important that we cannot engage in sloppy theology because if not we know better than our fathers who were in Era and I believe that we are killing our sons and daughters because we're loyal to our father's Doctrine our father's Doctrine has stifled ever learning truth and Sons and Daughters we are influence by Moses but we're not limited to Moses the scripture says that Joshua had a different spirit there was something different about Joshua that was very unique from Moshe and Aaron he had a different spear so we got to make sure that we understand the scripture contextually we have to contextualize the scripture so if we don't read the pretext and the post-text then we take the scripture out of context and we use something called Isa Jesus ice it means Ian all right it is the Greek term in X means what and it's a Hebrew term outright Exodus right exegesis um exegetical it means out right and the equivalent of that in the Greek is EK right EK as in Ecclesia or Ecclesia which many we used to say that called out ones right so EK is out so we got to make sure that we also look in terms of form criticism we have to do um we have to do the maximum men or we have to consult the biblical map line upon line precept upon precept which means scriptural jurisprudence so scripture jerk Prudence it's very important in order to surmise the correct understanding of the scripture unfortunately we've been bamboozled we've been hooked weak we've been random Monk and we have believed every win of doctrine that has been presented to us and there are now let me give a disclaimer I think head wraps are beautiful I think it is it is a cultural expression that is second to none um um to see I tell my wife and my daughters if they can wear head wraps all day long I love it but the moment I begin to regulate it or to make it obligatory I got to make sure it lines up with the scriptures how do we judge all scriptures by the way the Hebrew uh apologize is supposed to be done by now all right so again that's right so how do we measure all scripture okay by the scripture so what is the scripture Torah all right so the course when you see scripture in the britisha or the New Testament it is the term used two terms one is graphey one is gramata right so most of the time most of what we call the scripture in the New Testament is really situational letters or you see the term writing the word writing there is is pistol a which means Epistles so many of them are situational letters all right that Paul is writing right now do we find the scriptures in those letters absolutely we do right because there's over 250 what we call Illusions or direct quotes of Torah in the brithara Shah so which means that it directly quotes or it uh alludes to it and that's why mashiach said in yoga 9 chapter 7 verse 16 I have no Doctrine my doctor named my home my doctor is Torah and what the prophet said about me Acts chapter 3 verse 18 Luke chapter 24 verse 44. and I I come to fulfill that which is already spoken of you all right so we got to make sure that we understand that when it comes to the scriptures so notice that Paul uses the word head literally here for that which is covered and figuratively for the Authority or figure of an ancient household so he's giving the pecking order when we look at this at the circumference of this text in terms of rose and responsibilities so first of all there's two Greek words this is why textual criticism is very important because what happens is we can um galatia who has Bewitched you you foolish Galatians now is culture important absolutely it is right because culture is observable worship we should be able to look at you and know what God you worship just by your cultural expressions right that's very important all right so you stand stuff for me who does she worship everybody we all know because this ancient near East a tire it could be Allah it could be Buddha it could be be be okay so all right so we should be able to look at someone and tell who they worship is on culture so culture is important you agree that's why language is important language is not just a tool for communication but it's a vehicle for culture if you remove the language that's why Hebrew language is very important then you also eradicate the culture so culture is important right you follow me now so Torah do is Torah always equivalent with our culture so if Paul writing here we set the standard for which we judge all scripture is Torah right anything I read in the Brit hadasha I'll go back to the Torah most notably the first four books first four books are very important why not the fifth one because Deuteronomy is what we call deuteronomic deuteronomic uh is what you all yep that's right a copy of the law we find that in Deuteronomy chapter 17. so everything I read in Deuteronomy except for the farewell speech and all the other stuff that the prologue that was influenced by Sumerian Hittites everything I read in Deuteronomy I should be able to find it in the first four books is that correct because it is a summary of the law don't get that confused with deuteronomystic those are the nine books that's after Deuteronomy but deuteronomic is Deuteronomy it is a copy of the law so as a standard I shall find somewhere in Torah well it's mandated for a woman to cover her head right we got a bill we got a bill we got a deal all right so there are two words that's very important all right so if I give it to you it's good you can quote it but if you're going to defend it and if you're going to teach others you need to go through the process the process can be very arduous and tedious but it's worth it all right so um there's two words here so the first one is Kata Cal Loop count to Cal Lupo which is very important and the other one is peribolian so in seminary I used to teach Greek and a lot of Greek things and so automatically there are some some words that pop out because we look at the etymological root of each of these terms so notice that there's two words that is being used here that Paul used so the word of course captain or luto part me only here in the it's only found here in the New Testament it is found only in First Corinthians chapter 11. however whenever we put an A in front of any Greek word what does it mean without right good good you all been listening it means without like we get agnosticism Gnostic or gnosis means knowledge we put an A in front of that that means without knowledge also we look at the word nomia or Noma means what law we put an A in front of that we get what I know me uh or without the law or lawlessness or iniquity found in Matthew chapter 7 verse 23 right iniquity depart from me you who work iniquity which means without the law um so um the word of course is uh kalutu or in catacau Luke 2. I was also found in the Septuagint now we'll find that this word means to cover as we found in Numbers chapter 22 verse 5 it says Behold a people came out of mesraim behold they cover the surface of the land right we find also in Ezekiel chapter 26 so it literally means to cover it means to cover everybody say to cover it means to cover right so notice that the other word here is peribolian Perry bullion it means that which is thrown or that which is a natural covering everybody said natural covering already for those who are critical thinkers you are already now you are looking at the difference between the two words one means I'm going to cover you the other one means as a natural covering this is why Paul begins to talk about what is natural um human anatomy or natural what is natural to a man a natural to a woman so this word is natural you got it so Paul uses the word again Catholic Hal luto for cover all the way down to verse 15 when he's but when he then began to speak of a woman's hair notice what he uses he uses Perry bullion he uses a different Greek word when it comes to a woman's head being covered because what I'm afraid of we are allowing the Customs to Trump Torah and we're no better than the Pharisees we are adding to the law that's why in Matthew chapter 5 verse 20 unless your righteousness exceed that of the Pharisees you will have no part of the Kingdom why because Pharisees knew the law that's why mashiach said hey when they speak listen to them because they're telling you what it's right but don't do as they do because they are hypocrites because what they did is they added to the law that is a righteousness of man Isaiah says our righteousness is as a filthy rag your righteousness means nothing when you add to the righteousness that's already been prescribed in Torah all right so that's important I want us to understand there's two different words so throughout the Old Testament or the to not we see this representation of a woman's hair representation of what a what of Glory right we see it throughout I give you some cross references but we see it next slide say I'm sorry so it's a representation of Glory right the hair is significant so notice Paul said who Dishonored her head both among Hebrews as well as Greeks long hair was a glory only in times of mourning we find in Deuteronomy it's Deuteronomy a part of Torah of course it is right or when you are convicted of shameful sin we see that in Numbers Chapter 5. when a woman was at some immoral deviant Behavior she didn't stepped out with another man on the other side of town she would walk before the priests and and so although in West Africa anybody receive they take these Willows they sit you down and it's like almost a lie detector and they had these Willows and they put it around your neck your arms on it and that if you uh if you're lying it will choke you no one saw that okay because we don't know to our culture right we go into our own culture a lot of it has been mixed with a lot of other things over the years but obviously that is a Torah culture uh part of Tor culture is that whenever a woman is in it if she's convicted or if she's found lie if she's lied then um obviously what would be the result she received her head right the only other instances we find in Torah is when spoiled is when men went out to war Israel went out to war and they would take some pyts some young thing right and they were to make them their wives they had to shave their head so let me ask you a question a shaved head in part of the Hebrew culture is symbolic or indicative to what shame right it's a shame so we got to understand the um the narrative or understand the context in which Paul is writing all right so it is a shame for a woman to have what because what we don't know if you don't know Torah like Peter said when you read Paul's writing if you are if you are unlearned and unstable rest you're going to air in all of the scriptures and it's going to lead to your destruction what we do not give shall Rabbi credit for is Rabbi no Torah I'm a driving Benjamin I know Torah he knew Torah so we don't understand what we call intentionality what is the authorial intent so we don't know the Authority or intent you're going to read into the Bible with your own what we call intentionality fallacy and so we're going to make what is meant to be a cultural expression we're going to make a Torah that's dangerous that's dangerous let me go this side y'all listen better that's dangerous that's dangerous right and so um so we find that so let me let me go here so here again the word head is a double significance a woman with a ball head Dishonored her head [Music] that's a whole different no the answer is no we had to go to Isaiah chapter Yoshi Yahoo chapter 3. all right and deal with that right yeah short here right right um so what bantu's women uh when you get a chance read Isaiah chapter three all right start at verse 16 and just read down okay that'll take us into a whole different rabbit hole all right all right so but every woman that prayeth or prophesy do we have women women prophets we see throughout the scripture absolutely we do right we have a Litany of them whether we're talking about Deborah Miriam um hold up you name it there's a lot of them there so female head covering isn't noted anywhere in the Torah or what they call the Gospels nowhere and I know we're playing with semantics I know a lot of times we don't use the word gospel because of the etymological root of it and we use basora all right but just for colloquial purposes we're going to use the word gospel so nowhere is it mandated in Torah or martial the biography of a mashiach as he come to fulfill Isaiah chapter 61. the preach the gospel 2 or the basaur to the poor to heal the broken heart we don't find anywhere wait a minute according to we can't add or take away according to Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 2 right we can add or take away but watch this in order for any word to be established there must be how many witnesses what you talking about Willis there must be what what why is Paul the only one addressing this issue do we find a witness anywhere else in the Tanakh anywhere else in the britisha we don't find not one other individual that coincide with him not one I'm hoping we freeing some people now we love head wrap that's a part of it is wonderful I want to give a disclaimer again I think it's wonderful for you to have your head covered but the moment we begin to make it obligatory and make it Torah I mean I see communities now flourishing in Hebrew and it is you know there's somebody watching this on YouTube he said all them women into there and seeing hey they they don't even listen to them they can't even talk okay they don't they don't prophesy to me their head ain't covered because they misunderstand the text so we have no commandment whatsoever in the Old Testament to women to wear a cloth on their heads obviously is customary for man and woman but there's no command of yah yes Tiana you got a revelation and that's what's supposed to happen information that's that's what good spiritual practitioners do they give information Revelation and then inspiration yeah go ahead okay that's right go back to First Corinthians Sam go back go back go back okay so then when you go back to First Corinthians 11 and where is it where it talks about you want to go back okay here it is verse five but every woman that prayeth or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head for that is even all one as if she were shaving so this is saying a woman that was caught in some type of sin they had her hair shaven would not have to cover her head if she's an assembly praying and prophesying because a woman's natural glory is her hair so she does not have to cover it hallelujah it's also good the hair covering the hair covering ladies is also good for a bad hair day right here [Applause] no she she kind of jumped a gun a little prematurely that's at the end of my nose but praise God all right give it up for Tia to everybody so I have one more question uh Dr teacher yeah so now what's the difference because you go down rabbit holes you take too long so what's the difference between shaving and sharing there's really no difference talk about shave and shorn okay so one is not short hair and shorten is really it's a big make it an even length so if you look at it in the Greek it's to be even less but um when you cut it and it's just even less and so Paul talked about being shorn as well when you talk on the Nazarite vial when you go back to Acts chapter 21 Acts chapter 24 Acts chapter 25 you'll notice that one is just is shaven and one is kind of make it of even cut even cut all right so should men have their heads covered let's go to the scripture here first Corinthians chapter 11 verse 7. you see how the danger when you take the scriptures number one we had a disadvantage because we're reading the Bible through a Grecian latinized eurocentric tectonic lens and we're trying to extrapolate a Hebrew meaning things are already convoluted for us because of the poor translation we're taking Pagan language in order to try to understand the Hebrew culture so let's go go back to Sam go down said me in have their heads covered should men have their head cover because this is what Paul said right said man have they had no can you Sam continue continue there we go should men have the heads covered let's listen to Paul verse 8 verse 11 verse 7 for a man indeed ought not to cover his for as much as he is the image of the glory of the most high but the woman is the glory of man is it wrong for man to cover his head when he's praying and prophesying come on y'all we we now we developed some traction we developed we developed some progress now now we are regressing they are not you say not but why because Paul said it and Paul is your lord and savior right [Music] so so is it a shame or is it against the will of the most high for a man to have his head covered while he's praying to prophesied I'll say it for a man indeed ought not to cover his head and y'all saying you're saying he can if he wanted to so if I want to have a baseball cap and for those of us who have been raised in the African-American um Christian context you know you don't wear no hat you better take your head off when you come into the house of God so yes or no no see this is how this is what we call Hebrew folks I'm afraid that we have Amalgamated to um a system where um is no longer Collaborative Learning we have what we call frontal teaching frontal teaching people don't grow that way but when they are actively engaged now we're not talking about being disorderly right because I was sick Paul on y'all but but you are actively engaged in the dialogue you learn better your llama it's called the collaborative approach to teaching right we all are engaged in it right their structure this order but we engage in it so Torah should there should be something in Torah or the prophets that obviously coincide with this is that correct if it so let's see here in the law watch this y'all prescribe bonnets for the priests for Glory if it were a shame for men to pray covered do y'all get it wrong wait a minute I just thought Paul said that men are not to have their head covered but notice the most high toe um the priest to where bonnets that's Exodus chapter 22 and you shall gird them with sashes Aaron and his sons and put the hats on them the priesthood shall be theirs for a Perpetual statue that Paul come to uproot that that the most high established Anita okay so it's only for the Levites right specific oh so we better not find a prophet who had the head covered right according to Anita let's let's stick with the ore let's see whether or not profits if the same rule apply let's look at Ezekiel chapter 44. watch this and also y'all told Ezekiel to First cover his head and then to prophesy what you talking about Willis say it again so we got to make sure that we use scriptural jurisprudence and we don't deal denominations we don't will a cultic environment where we are now reclassifying scripture what we do is we we tend to um arbitrarily reclassify or re-label I love Isaiah chapter 65 Isaiah 65 said Thou Art holier than thou you ever hear the term in other words the people say we are holier than you most high because we know what's right we know what's best for us better than you know what's best for us and we build Traditions which crowd the space of Torah your Traditions have made the word of non-effective right so it's very important we understand so Paul defines us here and uh the list goes on and everything that Tiana said after that is where we get there all right so therefore the entire passage of First Corinthians chapter 11 is easily understood if we allow Paul to Define his own terms and of course it is a shame to a woman's own head her husband and to her Creator if she of course there should be distinctiveness when it comes to gender is that correct naturally a woman here grows longer than a man there should be gender distinctiveness pressure all right give it up for the Hebrew apologetics all right so that was a little longer thanks to Tiana than what we expected all right so let's let's get into this really quickly I'm going to take just a couple minutes of your time but I want to share this here all right you all warmer all right um go to Isaiah first of all somebody tell me what is the sacrifice of praise anyone so when a scripta talks about in Samuel a sacrifice of praise what can we deduce from that what can we get from a sacrifice of praise anybody okay I don't feel like giving this phrase I'm just gonna I'm just gonna I don't feel like raising my hands but I'm just gonna make my hands throw it up in the air because I really don't care right right so right so it's just it's just I'm gonna give him if I'm lethargic if I'm dealing with lethargy if I'm apathetical the spirit of apathy that I don't really want you I'm just going to press my way this is the problem with us we are probably more christianized than we are Hebrew and we got a long ways to go because it takes a while to deconstruct us and to detoxify us of all of the error that we learn so my Hebrew apologetics class they going crazy in that class say what you talking about mashyak didn't have his ministry wasn't three and a half years no no only one year one year according to Daniel chapter nine because prophecy everything in the to not points to yokshua everything points to him it was only a year or 62 weeks that's it but you've been taught see tradition crowds the space of Truth condemnation without investigation is the highest form of ignorance tradition is what you believe before you hear and so they build a wall where you cannot hear truth all right so we talked about that we also was really getting them is um that there were other people on Earth near the Garden of Eden during a time of Adam and Eve because we have a farty like fair tillic when we get fairy tale fairytilic folkloric enchantment disney-like understanding of the scriptures we don't understand metonymies synecd Keys we don't understand similes as or like unto we don't understand anthropomorphic language we don't understand um idiomatic or idioms we don't understand um uh the whole anthropomorphism of scripture and so therefore we think all everything is together we know that's a synec the kid that's a simile that's a metonymy that's a hyperbole or an exaggeration that's a personification if we don't understand the scriptures then we are reading through the lens of our oppressors and you will never get what we call intentionality or the authorial intent you'll never get it from the air because again the eyes in what you're reading through is Tainted so we have something called interpretive methodology everybody say that with me interpretive methodology means the Bible interprets itself let me go decide the Bible interprets itself so if we're going to make such claims we got to be like the bereans and prove it biblically right upon line preach upon precept here a little dear little but and that's the problem with camps a lot of them use great precepts let me go through this precept read go to the proof read but they don't understand context because the same precept here right although it's a similar precept but the context is completely different so context is very important so when we read Ezekiel because many of the writings that we read in the Torah where they complete it and what we call the strong age Stone Age so there's three ages when it comes to Tanakh there's a stone age there's what we call the Bronze Age and there's an Iron Age so more of the Babylonian and as we move into Grecian domination that's called the Iron Age in Persia but and before that it's just the Bronze Age bent in the days of particularly anti-divolian which means Before the Flood we call that the Stone Age the Stone Age right um we have to understand that the uh most of the Torah was not completed because it was oral history it wasn't until these later prophets in the Iron Age completed some of the writings that started in the Stone Age you got to take our Hebrew scriptures class in order to fully understand that all right so that means the prophets will have some tradition some oral stories that they began to now write about that's been passed down throughout our ancestors they're correct absolutely absolutely so they begin Ezekiel writes about a vivid account of the garden he said there are cedar trees in the Garden of Eden who's envious of Adam then he goes on because we have to understand metaphoric speech right because a lot of our language is metaphoric even in Africa there's a lot of this Sankofa a lot of stuff is metaphoric right that's how you know we people of the book so there's a lot of metaphors a lot of similes and so the metaphor they used here is most trees are people you don't believe me Israel is called the green olive nations are called what wow mashiach said I am the vine you are the are the branches so Ezekiel continue in that Vain and Ezekiel says there are cedar trees in the garden and they don't like Adam and they are envious of Adam and he goes on to say that these cedar trees are the nations of people the nations of people there's other nations but you see how we have a year-centric mindset it was just Adam and Eve in the garden and they they had leaves and they covered themselves and and they were naked and they were just Disney enchantment light and they just love one another no because even when Cain was kicked out or he left Eaton he went to nod and the most high put a mark on him and said if anybody touch him who are these other people other nations how many y'all believe that it was just a snake that's hissing talking to to Eve right Adam let somebody with snakeskin Gators talk to his woman but what we're absent of we are absent of the Hebrew language and the Hebrew culture and we absent a lot of this so we are reading Through The Eyes of our oppressors right because they don't understand it particularly in the Septuagint when they translated everything they they lost some of the cultural expressions that came out of that how many believe that it was literally a snake talking yeah okay a snake just came right huh okay animal smoke okay so you said the donkey and all of that so the animal right so okay so you can you name me any animal that can have a intelligent um fact-based conversation with you um concerning and anthropology concerning cosmology concerning the most high concerning a number of things can you think of any animal don't say a period okay animal can talk okay because and that's that's good I mean great um all the creation has a voice I teach the echo theology all even the trees have a voice all right we we know that but I want how much I'll show you and I got to get to this show you because the scripture is interpretive methodology to show you by the way this snake walked on what how many oh how many did he walk on so he walked upright right upright means to walk on how many so what's the snake metaphorically speaking of that the hasatan use another for lack of terms human to beguile Eve now I can prove that biblically right prove that biblically but it takes of course you have to deconstruct yourself of all of the the Insidious lies that you have learned and look through the Bible now through the Virgin lens right and through the Lions of Hebrew Hebrew that is your focal point don't lose track of that okay and we'll get to that all right yes I'm I got 10 minutes now yes that's right because we don't understand metaphors in similes and synecdochies and metonymies and we don't understand biblical language right and then obvious last question and then we'll move on yes you know yeah so you will find obviously yeah there was ancestral themes and other things but that has nothing to do with these other nations that surround it these were nations of people this was not Lebanon tree when you go read Ezekiel chapter 37 these are other nations that surround and then when you read Enoch and you read some other um Apocrypha or what we call deuterocanonical books it makes sense because they speak about this here there's other nations now the real question is where do they come from by the way Adam and Eve one of their assignments was to re do what re so if I'm going to redo something what do that mean somewhere there before all right Isaiah chapter one really quickly listen to my message Isaiah chapter 1 verse 10. listen to my message you Sodom School leaders receive elohims of the most highs revelation you Gamora schooled people you Gomorrah schooled people why this frenzy of sacrifices Yahoo was asking don't you think that I've had my feel of brunt sacrifices Rams and plunk green fed calves do you think I've had my feel of blood from Bulls lambs and goats when you come before me whoever gave you the idea of acting like this running here and there doing this in that all the sheer commotion in the place provided for worship you gathered so I often talk about the days of gabia anybody remember the days of gabia so scripture talks about the days of gabia particularly Hosea also we mention it the days of gobia they had no king and everybody did as they saw fit notice that when we look at eschatological books like Ezekiel I'm chapter nine Isaiah chapter nine we read eschatological books in Revelation notice that particularly even in Hosea um or here's what Isaiah says Isaiah says treachery treacherous um treacherous treachery treacherous um betray betrayal in other words you say you love me with your mouth but your heart is far away from me it is treachery treachery treacherous treachery treacherous how you betray and he says it over and over and over again then it goes on to say that there are many people who's worshiping the most high in the other most parts of the world they are from the islands of the sea and they're worshiping seeing praising to him they worship Him from the in the Far East and in Europe and all these things and they're singing worship and what does the most high does he come and destroy all of those individuals who are singing unto his name wait a minute you mean to tell me I sing Hillsong songs and I worship you Lord and I Lift Your Name on High and I Praise You In Hallelujah he has risen and there's beautiful music that is filling the Earth because again Christianity mainstream Christianity is number one religion in the world so in Australia in Africa and the Northern or the lower countries in Europe and the um hate saying Middle East but in that in that Levant area all over the over the world in Canada in the islands of the sea in Hawaii in Japan there are people singing praises unto the god of the Bible and worshiping and what he say these same people who are seeing it unto me I'm going to destroy which what you think about Willis why is he's coming back with vengeance why is he coming back rough tough with afro puffs and there's wonderful beautiful music being sung I'll take him said they're Lawless and it's the days of gobia and your worship means absolutely nothing unto me the only thing that makes the difference the only thing that get yah's attention is obedience to the laws statues and Commandments Nothing Else Matters he doesn't know you if you don't keep the law status and Commandments many would say Lord Lord in that day I've done this in your name I've done that in your name we had good old pastoral anniversaries we have good fish fries or we fed we fed the pole we we did a lot of good things yes sir we had good good good good uh building funds and we built a night edifice for you Lord we didn't we didn't done great things in this church but he would say depart from me ye who work anomia iniquity which means lawlessness that's my first John chapter 2 verse 4 many who say they know me but keeping not my Commandments they are a they are what and the truth is not in them so the only people he recognize and I try to paint that picture for people will read Ezekiel we read Hosea we see Isaiah these are ancient Messianic eschatological books and read revelation that he's coming to destroy and if we want to get real Vivid if we want to look go you can read yourself go to Ezekiel chapter nine he said I'm killing Mama I'm killing bait I'm killing Grandma I'm killing kids that don't sound like the the the Christianity I'm sorry the the god that Christianity introduced us why is he coming back with vengeance and these people are singing praises unto his name let's continue let's continue listen to my message I'm sorry continue Sam quit your worship charades I can't stand your trivial religious game monthly conferences weekly shabbats special meetings meetings meetings meetings I can't stand one more meetings for this meetings for that I hate

we're no longer under the law I got a couple girls I want to bring into a relationship now don't have to worry about it although I'ma be with you be with them I'm going to have love only for you I may mess around with them I may spend quality time with them but do know while I'm with them I'm thinking about you and they may please me in many areas they they they might excite me in areas I haven't been excited in a long time but I just want you to know that while I'm out with them you steal the apple of my eye and I might spend some long intimate hours with them I may celebrate them but I want

in other things and still play but still say but I'm still thinking about you in fact I'm going what I'm gonna do I'm gonna be with her and I'm occasionally call her Tawana I'm occasionally kind of mix it up a little bit so that I can make myself believe that I'm pleasing her although I'm with somebody else Hallelujah all right I got a couple minutes give PT and Applause everybody Hallelujah Hallelujah so we have journeyed and discovering obviously the truth but we have to re understand that there is a love affair with paganism we have engaged into a love affair with paganism watch this for 18 centuries there's been an alternative worship on display there's been what we call syncretic beliefs infused with elements of the truth and what we did is we have normalized Pagan worship we have branded it packaged it and sold it under the auspices of evangelicalism we have promoted this idea of of of paganism and have promoted it to the world as a purveyor of the truth we have reclassified but the most high have called evil we reclassified it as good we have Sanctified what the most high has rejected and we have mixed this with what I call an ecclesiastical threesome we have mixed it with obviously with ancient Egyptian practices with Greek thought with Roman mythology with Nimrod and Babylonian symbologies a lot of symbols we have are pagan to is root and we are becoming more Pagan or Lawless and we are reaching Realms of apostasy as well as reprobation we rather believe a lie rather than the true in fact we are becoming more Lawless so paganism has a wider influence on our lives than what we think now I won't be able to finish it today we're going to finish it next week but what I wanted to do is thanks Tiana for not allow me to get to it right when things go wrong we develop a mindset of acquisition and justification rather than want to self-examination right it ain't my fault did I do that right in my part so um what we've done is I want to bring out how even in the hebrewism how we are involved in this um this syncritic um synchronize paganism and how the most high is calling us out we talked about a couple weeks ago spells didn't we go spells and where spells come from They Come From words most of the English vernacular if you just take the time to research most of the English vernacular was built upon um this this spells built upon enchantment and the fact that's when you get the word god spell from let's look at the etymological route from and so we are currently under the spell I'm a I'm a child of most high I ain't under no spell well second Thessalonians says different that there is a a strong delusion that come upon us even we read in Acts that there are mashiach I'm sorry Peter and those went to Samaria preaching the basaur preaching a good news and the people were happy and they believed but yet there was Simon the Sorcerer that still had that City in captivity because we don't understand demonic magistrates because we don't understand the spiritual world we are still Bound by that and the most high the more closer we get to the law remember we talked about in Psalms division 19 that David said who can understand my eras who can understand my my secret thoughts and my presumptuous sins he said the law is pure it is Holy your Commandments are lovely all together your statues are very pure and perfect unto me it's better than money it's better than honey and sweeter than a honey and a honeycomb then he said that the law enlightened me and it warned me the more we become Amalgamated with the Torah culture is to more the most high shines in light that's why he wants Truth where in the inward parts and at the interest of his word bring forth light as the psalmist says light always denote knowledge he always bring us into a broader scope and shed light on things that we didn't know about before right that's why where there is no law there is no sin there is no law there is no sin so I always ask the question is great grandma Nim who didn't practice the law they didn't do the law I love the word practice of laws it would work first John talks about all the time and then mashiach says to those who do the law in First Matthew chapter 5 verse verse 19 those who do the law or practice the law is Greg Rama are they going to make it to the kingdom you sure great grandma going to the kingdom okay so those granddaddy all he knew he was on the Deacon board and and all he knew was Jesus in the morning Jesus in the Noom Day Jesus in the afternoon all he knew was Sunday morning worship all he knew was paying his ties all he knew was serving a good man upstairs that all you know is he going to make it to the kingdom you all seem pretty sure about that he's going to make it to the kingdom so when we uh when we read Matthew Chapter 5 mashyak is always he doesn't have any new doctrine he's always quoting Torah so we should find in Torah where he gives these three classifications because what we find out is he talks about the least in the Kingdom least is the kingdom of those who do not do it and those who do not teach others they're going to be least in the kingdom is that correct now people say well at least in the Kingdom means I'm not going to make it into the kingdom well why did John the Baptist say I'm going to be least in the kingdom does that mean least mean he ain't gonna make it into the kingdom no no certainly not all right so um so we know those who are great in the Kingdom I mean those are least in the Kingdom or those who do not do the law and tell others they don't have to do it right Matthew chapter 5 verse 19. then those who do it and teach others also those people are great in the kingdom is that it no there's a third category how do we know that we go back to what mashiach was alluding to because everything is in Torah we have to go back to Numbers chapter 15 and there are one law before The Stranger in this adjourner then he goes on to say those individuals who ignorantly disobey a law what's the key term there and ignorance and ignorance there should be atonement for them you got it there should be atonement go read Matthew number chapter 15. there is atonement for those individuals they make into the Kingdom right and then those who do it they're going to be great in the Kingdom right because it's extrapolating from Numbers Chapter 15. but then there's a third category in Numbers chapter 15 that says those who are defiant those who are defiant what happened to them there should be no atonement for them none whatsoever so how do we know that well we got to continue to read in circumference of the text we have to read Matthew chapter 5 verse 20. he goes on to say that um but those if your righteousness does not secede that of a Pharisee you ain't gonna make it into the kingdom already mashiach gives three categories those who are least those who are great and those individuals who are who are what defiant because how was the Pharisees with the fire they knew the law in fact they added their own righteousness to it they added to the law itself all right so there's three categories as relates to that so I won't get into um all of this but I want to just turn your attention to this Elise um there's so much um Deuteronomy chapter 12 verse 28-32 it says observe and hear all these words which I command thee that it may go well with thee and thy children after after the forever and thou do us that which is good and right in the sight of the most high when the most high cut off the nations from before thee whether thou goest and possess them and thou secedest them dwell and dwell in their land take heed to thyself that thou that thou be not snared by them you may not snare how many know that you are when you're snare or you entice um to be entice you're not hasata will never entice you with something you don't want to do Temptation can only occur when there is desirability and there's availability if something is you desire but it's not available it ain't going to happen if it's available but you don't desire it's not going to happen so there must be availability and there must be desirability in order for temptation to occur so in kaisi we got to be careful because what the nations of this world they have employed a psychology to and have socially conditioned Us in such a way that we automatically from the Cradle to the Grave that we are beholden to A system that is incongruous with Torah culture it is inconsistent with the laws statutes and Commandments of the most high so it's very important that we are not entice because it's easy to be enticed it's easy to be snared with the systems of this world we'll come back to that um next week um so um of course First Kings chapter 18 verse 21 says um how long will you falter between two opinions if yahuwah be the most high then you follow him but if by L B you follow him this is a pivotal point in our community where we have to draw the line in between the sand and we have to if if he is the most high is the most high we need to serve him but his Bell in other words we cannot be like um either we're going to be cold or we're going to be hot but we can't be lukewarm all right it can't be lukewarm so I won't go to Jeremiah I do want to just last scriptures I said already um we often talk about nadab and abahu and nadab and abahu um what was unique about nadab and about who according to Leviticus chapter 10. they give a sacrifice to the most high is that correct they offered up incense and uh sacrifice to the most high nothing is wrong with given the most high worship is that correct let me go over here nothing is wrong with just giving him good old pure worship and praise and we just gathered on Shabbat and we just worshiping him nothing is wrong with that is it that's a good thing isn't it but it's just worship but it's just worship they offered up onto the most high worship and fire came down from and devoured them isn't that a wrong that why would the most high do something like that Emma that ain't right he's Sovereign he's auspicious he can do it but he's also just isn't he why would he do that because it was not what the most high required of them see we have to make sure that our reflective surfaces is not dirty we got to make sure I told you last week when you go to the movies and you go to see the screen or the movie you go to see the movie you don't go see the screen because the screen is just a tool right you come to see the movie so far we got to make sure that our reflective surfaces are clean so watch this so it cannot just be our worship cannot just be holy but it has to be what acceptable right we present the body as a Living Sacrifice which is what holy and at what and what because there are certain worship that yah wants and there's certain worship that he rejects they're certain that he accepts and he rejects so it's not just it's just holy but is it acceptable we have to make sure that we're giving the most high worship that is acceptable because the chief reward of our sacrifice is that it's susceptible is what you're giving the most high acceptable I love Malachi's R edition chapter one because this goes on to say um that when the governors come to town you give them your best you you roll out your best with them are they coming over your house you're going to roll out the best China the best um uh um civil Ware you're going to the best napkins everything but when most high comes you give them delaying you give them you give them the the um what it says the the blemish you give them all these things you give them a little time on your schedule that you don't want you give them and here's what Malachi say it is evil anytime you give less than your best to the most high it is evil it is evil so I wanted to address this issue that I I address and um Genesis chapter 16 verse 1 and then Hebrews chapter 13 verse 5 verse 15. I'm sorry let's start with Hebrews chapter 13 verse 15 Sam Hebrews chapter 13 verse 15. you ready I actually want what is a sacrifice a praise Hebrews chapter 13 and 15. all right so by him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to yah continually that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name so actually before what is a sacrifice of praise how do we offer a sacrifice of praise into the most high the fruit of Our Lives all right so we got to look deeper into the text and look consistently in terms of what Torah said so I won't read it all before I say for the sake of time but in barishi in Genesis when we go back and we look at the story anybody remember the story of Abraham Sarah and Hagar y'all remember that right Sarah thought that she could help oh Syria at the time thought that she can help the most high out right she laughed at the most high and she thought well I can easily help him out um um I can create a scenario he said listen I don't got time Abraham but you know what I got a headache but you know what my hand meeting is another room sounds crazy doesn't it but somehow she was trying to help fulfill the what the most high spoke that's the whole theme in terms of her name too so we look at her name and Sarah I and Sarah that I is the yield which means it's with our own strength she tried to do it it's not until she got Revelation that she can't do it within her own strength and her own power right in order to do this here which means to crush he's here although he will bruise your feet so notice here that Hagar and Abraham notice comes into together in a proxy relationship and could you imagine you got two women living in a house all right two women living in the house and notice this scenario where there is friction there's friction there's two women living in this house and notice that uh Sarah begins to manipulate the situation you get what I said she began to manipulate the situation so whenever we start to manipulate certain circumstances the the ball began to roll downhill and somehow we may not ever be able to recover that because manipulation sometimes it creates later on in your life a grave dilemma we got to be careful because the most high can never reward manipulation let me say this again the most high would never reward manipulation all right and so notice that um uh Abraham goes and he impregnates her sermon or handmaiden Hagar and of course she get get pregnant all right so you can imagine the the the convolution in the home you can imagine the friction and the home uh begin between them too but not only is Hagar pregnant and she's showing but she began to show off notice this this dichotomy that's happening she's not only showing but she's showing off because now her and Abraham have something in common in which Abraham and Sarah does it now there's friction in the house as a result of this here and of course um because of this uh Sarah said listen um she got to go so of course she sees she sees Ishmael and and Hagar teasing Isaac and she said listen she got to go she she got to go I'll want her in this house anymore I want to see her face anymore she has to go now how many think Abraham wanted to comply with that I want to tie this in to see how we do and when it comes to worshiping other gods and other things that we have allegiances to Abraham was just giddy about it right oh yeah she's gonna be gone nope it didn't happen they were right not at all and so Sarah was was not so naive to think that this man can spend quality time with another woman and not develop a bond with the Bond woman he developed a bond with her that he did not get with Sarah because this woman was able to give him something that Sarah was not that is a man's Pride to be able to produce a seed a son that would carry on his legacy and to get rid of Hagar I mean also to get rid of his son this is his first time he loved his son so you can imagine the situation here is that he's not given up um so easily here so maybe she's not a Bond woman because he's a slave but maybe she's a Bond woman because he developed a bond with her now this is important because it's easy to tell people what to do when you don't have an attachment to it go decide it's easy to tell someone to overcome something if you don't you're not addicted to it if you don't have an attachment to it if you don't have an allegiance to it y'all need to stop doing that y'all just get rid of Christmas just get rid of this but you have to understand there's a bomb there's an attachment there's an allegiance to it so it's easy to tell somebody or just get over it because you don't have it because so it's easy to be judgmental when you don't have to be attached to what you're telling people to get rid of right because everyone at some point of Our Lives we have something that is difficult to give up am I talking to anybody because I want to put you in the psychology of Pokemon and Mom and them and why Uncle no ain't waking up and why things because there is an allegiance there is a pathology behind that that they follow their entire lives but watch this anytime you allow your life to continue for a while in a certain vein there's going to be a bond between you and it and the deeper the bond the difficult it is to break it's difficult to break these Vicious Cycles so to Sarah she was just a Slave but to Sarah Sarah didn't lay up with this woman Sarah didn't have these when she was pregnant then wiped a cold sweat from her forehead could you imagine the conversations that Abraham had with Sarah I'm sorry with Hagar and as he's pregnant and they're looking up at the stars and women are emotional and she get very vulnerable and she's telling you how much I love you and back because now she's pregnant with his child he's now is reciprocating that and he's having emotions and he's developing a bond with the Bond woman and see telling all of her stories about how she was a slave in Egypt and how she lost her parents and how she overcame this and maybe if she was molested by her uncle and she's now vulnerable so therefore now he's developing this attachment to her and she's developing this attachment to him but his wife says She Gotta Go how do you expect from me to give up something that's been attached to me it's been my coping mechanism it's been I I have met a legitimate need illegitimately this has helped me in life and now y'all you asking me to give it up I'm coming to the truth now and I'm understanding the law statutes and Commandments and I have to give it up now y'all said you bet your Apple Bottoms you do watch this so this is important as as we move here because you can become Bond become bound to something that contradicts your destiny you can develop an allegiance to something that goes contrary to what the most high is calling for you because the attachment's supposed to help you for a season but the season is over but the attachment remains the season is done with you use it for a coping mechanism it was cathartic for you it was therapeutic for you love deck the halls with old Christmas tree oh Christmas tree it was cathartic because it was a time for you and your family together remember dying eggs and daddy dressing up like the Easter Bunny and coming into your room it's nostalgic associated with it Nostalgia because there is a con attachment to it and the most high is asking me to give up something the only memories I have of Mama the only memories I have of daddy every time this time of year comes around the Christmas tree is sentimental to me and you asking me to give it up it's an attachment and so here it is that Abraham highs to fact that it's about Hagar and says is about a son but yahuwah says you aren't denial it's really not about the Sun it's about the woman you have developed this attachment to the woman and so what we do is you become tied and codependent to it and we use it and we use them to overcome a difficult time in our lives but what happens is is the trauma is over but the feelings are still there the allegiance are still there you use them you use this time to as a coping mechanism you use it to overcome trauma but the trauma season is over but not what you addicted to that the most highest action you to give up is still there so when we think of Praise when we think of sacrifice of praise we think of lifting of hands we think of just um you know worship and and using a speciated language and and we think of all those things but I beg to differ because there's an element of Praise that has nothing to do with dancing has nothing to do with shouting has nothing to do with this um uh exuberant um jovial worship has nothing to do with that whatsoever but there is a part of Praise that when something that's in your life that you have become so extremely attached to that the most high actually to give it up that is exactly because the ultimate praise that you can give him will never come from your mouth the chief prays that you can always give him is your actions do you live out what you Proclaim with your mouth and the most highest action you I want some praise but I'm not talking about with your mouth because you can be superficial with your mouth as your actions it is a sacrifice present this body as a Living Sacrifice and he's asking you to give up something that you don't want to give up and so what we did is to crutch that is the crush that put our faith into contradiction I know what it's like spiritually what happens when you are in love with Rachel but she married to Leah and you know you got to do the right thing and give up some things in your life see this is not just about just learning Hebrew it's being Hebrew your life has to be a reflection the chief reward of your sacrifice is your obedience to the most high and sometimes that's difficult but all your life you've been accustomed to certain things right and so it puts our life and it puts these into contradiction so here's the difference because Abraham having Ishmael was a mistake but having Isaac was a miracle what happens when your mistake and your Miracle grew up together I'm talking to somebody in the back row over here what happens when they grow up side by side and you cannot deny either one of them because they both look like you your mistakes and your Miracles and even sometimes your mistakes Will Mock your miracles they grow up side by side with one another two contrary things and they're both your kids you can't deny either one of them your mistakes and so um when we allowed this to happen yahuwah said listen um you got to put out this girl and notice that the most high didn't do it there's certain things the most highest requiring you to do there's nothing most I just say I'll get her out of here but the most high say listen to your wife and you got to make the hard difficult decision to do it because anytime you deny your flesh and tell it that you love yah more than you love the flesh is a sacrifice of praise I'm not talking about stuff that you could easily overcome oh well I'll give up banana pudding I'll give up I'll give up I'll give up those um red skin polar sausages I'll I'll give up I'll I'll give up those those pork neck bones I'll give those things up I'm not talking about that I'm talking about the stuff you have developed an allegiance to that's hard for you to overcome and at some point of your life as a Hebrew believer as a ruach field Messianic believer at some point in your life you're going to be faced with a difficult decision where mashiach told the disciples love thou me more than these do you love me because there's going to be folks it's going to be where your Fidelity is going to be questioned do you love me or do you love it Who Do You Love most now the most I said choose I often at one point I was addicted to don't tell nobody y'all keep secrets listen at one point I was addicted to butter pecan hockandash butter pecan ice cream I knew I had to give it up so do I give up my wife or do I give up the ice cream and I was faced with both and I looked hard at my wife and I looked hard at the at the at the ice cream and it was just smiling at me now Look Back at my wife now look back at the ice cream was wicking at me I look back at my wife and the pecans has had this aroma and when it was time to choose I love you both but but what happens is of course is that Sarah said you got to put her out because because Sarah doesn't have the authority to put her out you do it is a sacrifice of praise so I stopped there so Abraham had to come up with a difficult decision how he's going to approach her I was going to approach her how he's going to approach her I can imagine the conversation went like this girl me and you have had some awesome times together you've been very vulnerable in terms of sharing your life story with me hey you remember I told you I love you I meant that remember we spent some time sitting and we were just gazing at the Moon oh that was a wonderful time wasn't it remember remember you and I I just held you in my arms and you laid on my chest and you just cried all night long remember that time that was a defining moment for us remember when our son was born how I would just glean with joy and that uh that he my son came out and it was just so much joy and I didn't know what to do and I went around to all the other tents and everybody else and I went to my nephew a lot and I went to everybody and I said listen I got a son I'm so happy I I didn't know I was a lady remember that I kept on hugging you and kissing you you remember those times and I can imagine Hagar saying go ahead and spill the beans I know it's something you got to tell me yeah but I don't wanna say it did I tell you I love you because sometimes breaking up it's very hard to do typically when you have something that is born of the spirit but then you have something that's born of the flesh and you got to make that hard decision [Music] do you acquiesce to what is right or what you know that's inherently wrong but it feels so good [Music] love about me more than more than I can imagine Abraham saying for all my love for you and I cherish the moments we had but you got to go folks a sacrifice of praise is when you let go things that is breaking the most highest heart yeah break my heart for which breaks your heart stand with me Israel father yahuwah I pray in this moment in his time as we are face faced with so much opposition faced with so many decisions we live in a iniquitous nefarious Sinister world that is incisitive to your word your will and your wisdom somehow in between our historicity and our the Antiquity and and our modernity we are left to figure this all out we go through the process the deliberation process to choose as Deuteronomy says between blessings and curses between that which is deemed righteous and that which is unrighteous and unfortunately we have learned to love that which is unrighteous we have learned to love the ways of the Nations [Music] father we repent we have been ensnared and snared with the ways of the nation forgive us father purges with his Sip and we should be wider than snow wash us the sound of father we give up and help us to give up [Music] those things stand between us and you those impediments those obstructions those allegiances [Music] we may draw close to you while you are near check our love walk a love meter and father whatever you do don't let you and I break up give me the wherewithal give me the tenacity give me the courage to overcome those things that aided me that comfort me that consulted me they gave me therap therapy that gave me catharsis that comforted me now I'm at a point in my life where you asked me to give that up and it's difficult I develop a bond with it help us to overcome instances just worship him where we leave his worship that's Abba to help help you overcome these things that are tripping you up [Music] come on give them true worship that your life will be a Living Sacrifice that you will give them your all [Music] [Music] come on just a couple more moments in his presence worship we release [Music] the sound of worship father forgive us for every idolatrous activity in our lives [Music] we've been ensnared by the ways of the Nations yourself purify us detoxify us deconstruct us from the systems of this world [Music] that our worship unto you unlike in Isaiah chapter one our worship will be a sweet smelling savior unto your nostrils righteousness exalt ignation [Music] I pray that we will be postured in such a way that our worship get your attention again [Music] is in the mythologies of this world pure worship not mixed with synchronized paganism [Music] cleanses oh yeah [Music] Hallelujah [Music] Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah [Music] Hallelujah [Music] release a song of Torah [Music] which is our gauge our barometer to know what sin is [Music] hallelujah hallelujah what our mouths we make known that loving kindness [Music] Hallelujah [Music] and all that is within me bless His holy name Hallelujah we under worship come apart your heart to the most high pour to heart to the most high come apart your heart to the most high [Music] expected to show up all the Shabbat Hallelujah [Music] foreign [Music] release the sound of praise [Music] we released [Music] we release the sound of worship [Music] [Applause] [Music] we release the sound of worship release [Music] we release [Music] yes we we really is we release the sound we release the sound of worship [Music] release release [Applause] [Music] please we release for him to know to do or not to do scripture tells us it is sin foreign against the law [Music] the only way that we know how to gauge what CNE is Romans 7 and 7. it's not alone in fact in his transgression against the law that's the definition of sin well I'm not doing anything that is overtly and contradiction with the Bible I'm going to church I'm doing everything I need to do [Music] but now the most high is exposing you he's exposing you to a higher level and magnitude of Truth [Music] now is going to be a comment upon you [Music] you this is really about a matter of life and death for you the most I want you to live the most high strategically sets you up for this time in this season and this point of your life at this age of your life to introduce you [Music] to the revelatory concept of his word [Music] study the scriptures [Music] ever learning would never come into the knowledge of the truth said of you the most high is exposing It's the Most High I want you to live and the only provision that the most high sea to extend your life is you
