0:01

when you're reading the Bible you find that something jumps out at you write it down make a note of it amen don't don't

0:08

lose the art of writing it down it's it's essential as the Bible even the last book of the Bible God tells John write it down write it down

0:16

write it down amen Apostle I type it down okay type it

0:21

down type it down okay amen I use my tablet yeah he says oh that's Moses

0:29

there's always Moses Moses had two tablets with things written on it okay

0:34

so you think you're more than come on Okay so what happened to them was that

0:40

after 70 years uh God raised a king that Isaiah prophesied before he was born

0:46

this king is called Cyrus it was prophesied that a man a king called

0:51

Cyrus will send the people of God back he's God's servant all right so King Cyrus Came to power and by then of

0:58

course Babylon then middle Persia Babylon is conquered right by the mid

1:04

and the Persians and then it transferred power and then the Bible tells us that Saint

1:09

Cyrus sent them back with all the Furnitures of the the the the the temple

1:16

he was a good King history talks about him amen King Cyrus in fact uh they they

1:23

already discovered his tomb you can Google it but not now

1:29

and they were coming back but you know how many came back many of them felt comfortable after the pandemic I mean after the bondage

1:36

they stayed in Babylon many of them stayed in Babylon okay now I'm not referring to people watching

1:42

online so don't feel bad at least they are Italian Church you know what I'm saying I'm talking about people who who have no heart for church

1:49

anymore they just they find their life comfortable so only 42 000 came back

1:54

with a governor called Zoro Babel all right that's the original Zorro in the Bible is first four letters so his name

2:02

is Zorro check your Bible Zoro Babel amen and if you look carefully in the ancestry uh in the lineage of our Lord

2:09

Jesus Christ you'll find Zoro there it's actually Royal is of Royal Blood

2:14

all right but remember what the Bible says there's a prophecy that says before the Captivity right the the kingship

2:22

will end until Shiloh a title of the Messiah until Jesus comes what a

2:28

prophecy amen No More Kings until Jesus comes so King Herod is a usoper

2:35

it's not ordained by God he has no Royal Blood he was placed there by the Romans

2:40

when the time you know Jesus was born okay Jesus the true king and you find that zero Babylon came from

2:46

the House of David he has Royal Blood right he belonged to but when he came

2:51

back he came back no it's a king but as a governor like a mayor a man and on his

2:57

right hand is the high priest called Joshua so together King and Priests is a

3:02

royal priesthood the picture of God's people as they come back okay it's a picture of Jesus first and then God's

3:09

people because Jesus king priests and we are all royal priesthood what does that mean royal priesthood okay first of all

3:15

what does it mean to be a king Royal in God's eyes to be royal to be a king there's a verse

3:21

that says where the word of a king is there is power that's why we pray we pray for the sick we say in the name of

3:26

Jesus you foul tumor amen we curse you to your roots in the name of the Lord

3:32

Jesus and the same way Jesus cursed the fig tree it wasn't instantaneously but

3:39

it did die and for a root for a tree to Die the root has to die first outside looks

3:45

green don't worry keep on cursing that tumor start with pimples

3:51

okay a man start somewhere you're a king be careful what you say don't use your words against yourself you don't know

3:57

you're a king I'm dying for that cake don't don't use those words why why why why use those

4:03

words why use the deaf words ah it's just an expression yeah I tell you where the expression came from from

4:09

The Realm of Darkness someone is trying to kill you because Solomon in his wisdom wrote The Power of life and death is in the tongue come on come on church

4:16

all right don't stop me you are I must go on find yourself the essence okay so

4:21

they came back they came back right and they are so only 42 000 people came back 42 000. so when they came back the first

4:28

thing they restored everything was in Ruins they came back to a ruinous Heap the stones everywhere because it was burnt

4:34

down don't forget the Temple of Solomon was burned down right what was once was glorious and the

4:40

Bible says that you know when they rebuild what they can okay the the finally when they rebuild the Temple of

4:48

Nehemiah some people call it their way it was just a like a temporary Temple and the old man who still remembered

4:55

more than 70 years before right they remembered the glories of the Temple of

5:01

Solomon they wept the young people Rejoice because they never saw what it was like

5:07

amen so there come a time a Revival where some people say well this is the Revival in fact we are right now

5:13

experiencing that the young people are all excited but but the older one says that no I still remember a greater

5:19

Revival so the greater Revival is coming Amen to the church it has to it has to

5:25

wake people up all right but sad only 42 000 out of the many you know why because

5:31

they got complacent the king Cyrus now is very friendly to the Jewish people they are normal slaves there they have

5:36

houses they have Gardens right just like uh you know they had you hear about the hanging hanging gardens of Babylon right

5:43

now it's the under the hands of the middle person and you know they are comfortable they have money they are

5:48

secure why go back to Jerusalem the vision what God gave them to be a center

5:54

in their life was Jerusalem Zion must be the center but they forgot complacent and then God sent a man by

6:01

the way they came back the first thing they rebuilt was what the altar of burn offering that is the cross of Jesus

6:07

Christ where the sacrifice is placed it's a picture of our Lord Jesus on the cross so they they restored the truth

6:12

about the cross amen and every Revival you must come back to the Cross we preach Jesus Christ

6:18

crucified the power of God and the wisdom of God Amen praise the Lord

6:25

okay that's what must be Central in the church the preaching of the Cross Hallelujah all have sinned and some shall the glory

6:31

of God but God made him on that cross to be sin for us who knew no sin that we

6:36

might be made the righteousness of God in him amen and through him I preach to you the

6:41

Forgiveness of sins hallelujah praise the Lord so they came back the first thing they

6:48

rebuilt was what the altar burn offering then they laid the foundation of the house they're supposed to build a temple right they lit the foundation of the

6:54

house that's the time the enemies were in the land already came over and they saw what the Jews were doing and they

7:00

started uh uh harassing them started threatening them finally they sent a

7:06

letter by the way it was the latter part of Cyrus and then another king took over by

7:13

the time they send the letters and all that to complain some some years have passed and uh you know you know you know

7:18

what happened the building stopped they let the foundation and the building on God's house stopped because the king says the

7:25

king had all kinds of bad things about the Jewish people from this uh inhabitants they were there

7:31

you're jealous of God's people so they start sending letters I I find it interesting that today we have the

7:37

social media and people are using letters again in a form writing against each other whatever they

7:44

want everyone is their own commentator everyone is their own storyteller

7:51

a lot of fake news going on you know you got to descend what is

7:56

truth and what is not amen people amen take God's word God's word is the

8:03

truth [Music] amen long before your long long after I

8:10

should say after you're gone the word of God remains amen so

8:15

they they start persecuting them start harassing them lying about them and then

8:21

uh the letter came from the King because the king had about all the the evil that the Jewish people are doing right uh

8:27

these people they have their own laws and they'll teach the people not to pay taxes that's the last thing that the

8:34

Jewish people thought in fact even today under under grace the Bible says rendered to Caesar Jesus said

8:40

render to Caesar the things that are Caesars and to God the things that are God

8:45

amen amen a true Christian

8:50

without any threat or even pay taxes on the very last dollar is a conscience

8:56

thing before God because knowing that God supplies

9:01

no one can take more you know like come on church I know you all don't like Texas but

9:08

God supplies but you don't understand that context is only no when Paul wrote about also oh no

9:15

man anything but to love one another render to your obedience to the the powers that be and all that it was the

9:21

Roman rule at that time think about it okay anyway I said that last week so I

9:26

feel that the spirit of God wants us to learn this amen as God's people are y'all with me so far all right so they they stopped

9:33

the work they stop the work because of the threat from the king so you might think that no choice the king said stop

9:39

it's not Cyrus it's no more Cyrus it's not a king Darius all right he says stop and they stop

9:45

because of the evil that he has been receiving the news they've been receiving so they stop you know how long they stop 12 years

9:52

like more than 12 years now what happened is that the house of

9:58

God was neglected for 12 years after the pandemic after the bondage

10:05

and I think the normal people no more came back from Babylon and the people they were there lost their motivation

10:13

but something happened it was no more the threat God raised a young uh God raised a Prophet by the name of haggai

10:19

all right hagai means god is saying my Feast my celebration my festivals you know the Seven Feast of Israel haggai's

10:26

name is my fist was raised by God and sent to the people of God in Jerusalem and this is what he

10:34

said Fast Fixed a lot of hosts saying these people says the time has not come the

10:39

time that the Lord's house shall be built so all of a sudden by the way you will find it has I never talk about the king's decree

10:46

never now they are using the king's decree as an excuse not to build the house of God why

10:53

because they're too busy building their own house they are too busy building their own careers they forgot the priority that's

11:00

on in God's heart and that God wants us to have also the Bible says in Timothy that

11:07

that you might know how to conduct yourself in the house of God comma the Church of the Living God where is the

11:14

house of God today the Church of the Living God so Christ first in your life number two you need to prioritize the

11:20

church anyone who prioritized the church God prioritizes Amen if your aim all

11:26

right is to be profitable and to to have results to profit the church to Prophet

11:31

evangelism to profit sending missionaries to profit people who are elsewhere who need our help praise God

11:37

God will back you up all the forces of God will back you up even Heavenly angels and they move faster than the

11:44

speed of light I'm telling you they will keep you and they will watch over you to make sure that you carry out the plan

11:49

because you are in alignment just like you know in a in a secondary school we do an experiment science experiment and

11:56

the the little Bob wood if everything is right the bad word shine right but just

12:01

one thing out of connection it won't shine God is putting us all back in connection

12:06

with one another and the light will be glorious amen praise the Lord

12:11

in the powerful life gift set discover how you can find victory over sickness

12:17

depression and long-term conditions God's way by partaking of the Holy Communion applying the anointing oil and

12:24

praying in tongues request the powerful life gift set today your gift to the

12:29

ministry helps us proclaim the gospel of grace around the world transforming the lives of many precious people through

12:36

jesus-centered programs like this one offer available to U.S and Canada residents only

12:42

so they got into this thing and this is not time it's not time for the Lost house to be built then the word of God

12:48

came by haggai the prophet saying then is it time for you yourself to dwell in your panel houses and this Temple lie

12:54

and ruins the temple back then was the house of God so you say it's not time but then it's time for you to build your

13:01

own houses you have time for that then he says this look the result now

13:08

therefore says the Lord of hosts consider your ways you have sown much and bring in little you eat but you

13:15

don't have enough you drink but you're not filled with drinks you Club yourself but no one is warm

13:22

and he who earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes

13:28

I I cannot explain to you and you yourself know it listen to your spirit amen there are times in our life maybe

13:34

some time back we've experienced it no matter how much I earn it goes away

13:40

don't put up your hands I'm just telling you we've all experienced that amen or we eat

13:48

and yet we find that we're not satisfied something inside us eating is supposed to satisfy you

13:53

actually eating moderately you're supposed to be satisfied I eat very little nowadays

14:00

all right and I'm satisfied you can tell once the prince you lost a lot of weight I know I I'm trying my best to look good

14:07

and still lose weight don't know how to do the both

14:12

eat little you know but no don't let me stop you you're gonna

14:17

eat it I'm just saying the curse is not in the in the eating little or eating much but not not satisfied it's like

14:25

they drink but their test is not quenches something else they they whatever they earn the wages is like

14:31

putting into a bag with holes it all goes out that doesn't matter it's my boss fault it's the government's

14:37

fault it is the goods and services tax it's all you know friend if there's a bag with holes no matter

14:43

how much you you earn is going amen

14:50

and then God said this task tastes a lot of hosts consider your ways

14:57

and the Lord just reminded me remember my name I just heard that the Lord of forces

15:02

talking Ultra I just realized now during my study I I did when I didn't see this the most high

15:08

comes with a lot of hosts together the first time a lot of holes is mentioned is Hannah mentioning for the first time

15:15

in the Bible the word Messiah Messiah so the priority is Jesus

15:23

okay and Hannah means or some of you know Hebrew Hannah means Grace So in combine the two the most

15:31

high God who moves circumstances and a lot of hosts who move his host of angels

15:37

how can you like trust God

15:43

somewhat higher come up higher live in the Heavenly realm stick those

15:49

things that are above amen so what do I do then on Earth if I don't serve Mammon

15:54

what do I do right by the way I didn't tell you the same portion where it says don't don't worry about your food and

16:00

drink it ends by saying this in in a Romans uh Romans Matthew 6 33 seek first

16:05

the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you I hear again the phrase the Lord of

16:12

hosts will take care of you a lot of folks he's also the most high God

16:18

and most high means of all the nations of the Earth right he's the most high God

16:23

okay remember that and then he's the Lord of hosts so it is both vertical most high and

16:31

what do you call that with wise the rich the death

16:37

your God who is your father is on your side he is for you the Lord of hosts

16:44

amen Jehovah amen and again the first time

16:49

thank you Lord the first time there is mentioned is the word Messiah

16:54

in the prophecy of Hannah she mentioned Messiah for the first time Messiah was never mentioned

17:00

until Hannah came together with a lot of hosts okay you're with me so far

17:06

are you blessed okay you like these little tidbits so you read the Bible these are the things

17:11

that you can note amen we're having the Grace Academy here on right now praise God already

17:17

amen so Bible says Jesus is seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness

17:23

and all these things will be added unto you notice the priority it's not your body it's not your soul it's not your

17:29

mind it's your spirit spiritual know that you are the righteousness of God in Christ amen put

17:36

God first put his kingdom first kingdom of God means the the principles that you govern his kingdom every time Jesus says

17:42

the kingdom of God is life and unto right the first shall be lost and the last shall be first he that serves will be greatest of all these are all the

17:49

principles of the kingdom and I tell you you study carefully the principle of God's kingdom is the opposite of the world and yet it gets the results that

17:55

the world wants to get he that humbles himself the jio say in

18:02

the law of the Kingdom right how to operate in this Kingdom did he say one day the whole world will operate by this Kingdom and Jesus comes again all right

18:08

the 1000 year rule of Jesus on Earth the millennial rule will be governed by this Kingdom

18:14

will be governed by The Sermon on the Mount amen but listen he did not say you

18:20

humble yourself you remain humble you remain humiliated no he said he'd humble

18:25

himself shall be exalted I'll tell you something in God's hand

18:34

exalts you no one can press you down

18:41

but may never be that God puts you down he that exalts himself shall be humbled

18:53

amen you know what is happening around the

18:59

world is also man's faith in the established institutions and all that

19:05

like for example try to find a cure for it until now there's no cure

19:11

what a stupid virus you know they cannot see you know I was talking to my wife the other day how can this not be spiritual how can

19:18

there not be a demonic the powers of Darkness behind this virus there is some evil intelligence going on

19:24

something is governing this virus it's not natural is trying to find a loophole come on now come on admit if there is an

19:31

intelligence evil nonetheless

19:36

God's wisdom is higher than this intelligence amen amen

19:43

like the devil seeking home he may devour home thank God he's seeking keep him seeking in your life

19:50

you come to you oh you know right and it's like this this virus is trying to find another style another producer not

19:58

a variant small I can't even see it

20:06

humbles the whole world

20:12

okay so seek first the kingdom of God in his righteousness and all these things will be subtracted and taken away from

20:19

you so what if I if I Don't Preach God's supplies I would have to push like that

20:27

and just now when hexai says things like you eat but you're not full you drink but you're not quenched all right and

20:33

you earn wages to put into a bag full of hoes the people that believe in like God gives poverty will say Amen

20:40

hey guys be like I wasn't complimenting you and I wasn't praising your situation

20:46

look you missed it and the fact is that you know Common Sense will tell you when your child is sick bring him to the

20:52

doctor or you'll believe in healing her you're the health wealth people your child is say you try to make it sound so

20:58

dirty well you yourself is pursuing health and wealth in your life

21:04

because people cannot I can you cannot no I'm against the materialism in the

21:09

church sometimes it is a bad testimony I'm against people preaching nothing but money all the time

21:16

I'm against people talking about giving to them all the time there is abuse

21:23

make no mistake but you know why that's abuse you know why there's fake money counterfeit money

21:28

because money is valuable you don't think something that's not valuable

21:35

don't throw away the valuable don't throw away the real because just because you find

21:41

counterfeit money don't throw away the real amen you have enough sense to retain it

21:47

and some people there is a a false you know self-exgrandizement seeking for yourself

21:53

to be rich and all that there are people who treats the word of God but they twist everything if their heart is wrong

21:58

everything they touch will be wrong and their interpretation

22:04

be talking about Jesus first man it's hard not to prosper the Bible Way

22:10

when you're following Jesus even the wise men realize that

22:15

amen gold silver or frankincense the most valuable items during that day finest

22:21

way to Jesus we don't look for those things we look to Jesus or where you find Jesus you

22:27

find the gold frankincense and the bell by item but you put don't put your eyes on them you put your eyes on Jesus these

22:32

things are tools to equip you so your rich is greater father your influence will be there

22:40

amen especially Pastor Prince hallelujah amen so all these things shall be added

22:45

don't let anyone try to make you think otherwise either is added and and purpose it brings up a spiritual things

22:51

added no the context is important context is King when you interpret the Bible context there's about physical

22:57

food and drink and clothing

23:03

amen praise the Lord so here the Lord says

23:09

back to haggai this does answer go up to the mountains bring wood and build the temple that I may take

23:16

pleasure in it and be glorified says the Lord start building my house stop I'm not against you having your own house

23:21

and all that but build my house first bring wood

23:28

that's people build my house amen

23:34

and I'll take pleasure in it even though your efforts are puny and poor attempts at building the house

23:41

as long your heart is towards the house I'll take pleasure in it so the Lord's saying

23:47

built my house amen how do you build God's house number one by supporting it

23:53

always being there knowing that I'll tell you this your answers to your life will be in the house of God

24:01

amen is it important which house you attend and all that you're gonna attend a house where God speaks to you where

24:07

you feel and I'm at home that's the house all right there are many great churches and they're all the house of God if the

24:14

church raised by God it is the house of God if that speaks to you and you feel at home there stay there

24:20

foreign [Music] area you find it difficult to not worry

24:28

in think of that area you can even write it down on a piece of paper right and now after you do that right there's

24:36

this picture this illustration that I got from past the prince that really resonated with me and Lindsay in terms

24:43

of this Care Group and I want us to do this if you feel like drawing it you can draw it

24:48

if you want to picture it you can picture it this is an awesome illustration an awesome picture that can

24:54

help us all practically as a family even right now to just see that God's Supply

25:00

is never ever at any point in time being stopped by anything other than us trying

25:08

to manage the situation in our own strength this is the picture I want you to to draw right now if you feel like

25:15

you'd like to do this there's this area maybe at the bottom of the page that's really tough for you not to worry about

25:21

now go up on the piece of paper and picture you know the the throne of grace

25:27

Heavenly places the throne of grace has come boldly the throne of grace right then from the throne of grace there's

25:34

these flexible soft pliable pipes coming from the throne of grace from Heaven

25:41

down to earth down to the area that you feel like you just can't stop worrying

25:47

about now picture his Supply just constantly flowing freely from the

25:54

throne of grace this awesome lens just as we're talking about it right just this picture of his Supply freely

26:00

flowing from the throne of grace these golden pipes and anointing and Supply going into this area that you feel like

26:08

you just can't stop worrying about you know what's the only thing that can

26:13

cause us to not be able to see that Supply make its way to this area is US

26:20

holding on to the pipes and squeezing them which is really a description of us

26:27

being carried away with the carers of the world and worrying and we can in and

26:32

of ourselves just stop worrying but you know what I've noticed as we see this picture that the supply never stops it's

26:40

constant it continues it causes us to be caught up with the beauty of who he is

26:46

and his Supply flowing freely to this area and it causes us to what have our

26:51

hands let go of these pipes can I just read the scripture verse lens that I

26:56

feel like could really help us with this illustration in this picture it's this Philippians 4 6 through 8 says this

27:04

says do not fret or have any anxiety about anything but in every circumstance

27:11

and in everything by prayer and petition definite requests with Thanksgiving

27:19

continue to make your wants known to God and God's peace shall be yours that

27:26

tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ and so fearing

27:32

nothing from God and being content with its Earthly lot of whatever sort that it

27:38

is that peace which transcends all understanding shall Garrison and mount

27:44

guard over your hearts and Minds in Christ Jesus for the rest Brethren

27:50

whatever is true whatever is Worthy of reverence and is Honorable and seemly

27:56

whatever is just whatever is pure whatever is lovely and lovable whatever

28:02

is kind and Winsome and gracious if there is any virtue and Excellence if

28:07

there is anything worthy of Praise think on them and weigh and take account of these

28:15

things fix your minds on them so we want to encourage everyone right now right lens that the way that we can not front

28:24

or be anxious is by seeing this picture these golden pipes coming from the

28:29

throne of grace reaching down from Heaven to Earth but more specifically to that area that one area that you just

28:36

can't stop worrying in and as your mind is fixed on that and as you're kind of

28:41

meditating on that right even right now in this moment you can stop it you can pause it you can draw that out you can

28:47

talk amongst each other and as you see that what happens is you start to live the let go life you have you have no

28:55

choice right lens but to to let go any thoughts on that yeah I think it's just such a beautiful picture to

29:02

um it just shows that provision coming down from heaven that it can wash away any of these worries and that it's

29:08

really just when we hold on to those it's like almost like a like a pride

29:13

thing like thinking that we can fix this if we just hold on to this and we just figure it out that we can we can we can

29:19

do it and we can't and the best way to do it is just to let go and just let God

29:25

hearts and how do you guard your heart Everyone by seeing his Supply and
