Can't tell if everyone I'm Tinder is just so horny that they don't care with the other person looks like or if this filter Is actually that dangerous All right, so admittedly here's how we're making this video I'm scrolling Twitter and I thought I saw like a kind of attractive girl So I clicked on the photo I go to the profile picture and it was actually a dude Admittedly I was embarrassed but it was all over my feed for like snapchat Instagram Twitter for like the whole day So I kind of started to catch on to how it worked now. I made a tinder account using my pictures now I tried okay, so I tried to use myself for it, but it wasn't that convincing.  I swiped right. Why did you the better question is why did you? I I can't tell if people actually are looking at the picture and thinking wow that girl's cute girl Or if they're just so horny that they're doing this and I think it's that and like as soon as they see a match They're like, oh, uh copy paste my pickup line from google. I guarantee I could google find all these pickup lines Wait, what I'm wary of the filter lmao, but my lips are like skittles want to taste the rainbow It's just kind of acknowledging that he knows I'm a guy using the girl filter, but he still sends his pickup line This is a new level of horny, bro. Like I this is a level I cannot attain.  That's not even a pickup line. At least you could have stuck to I wonder what some of these people would think if they knew like I don't want to expose them and tell them No, but I Are you a freak though?  What do you even?  What is wrong?  I'd call you a cute cumber I'm not a photographer, but I can picture me and you together, bro This person just took the photo and liked it. You like that, huh? Dude, why do I have a thousand matches? I'm actually so mad right now. This is for all of mankind.  Is this a joke that I don't get can someone explain this one to me Okay, I mean I had this conversation before dude.  I did a little preemptive recording. So this guy goes Which is a terrible pickup line by the way like an hourglass. You have nothing but time a little. Hey, what's up? I said, huh?  I didn't expect him to actually explain the whole thing and bro He sends me a novel. So if you have a bust thin waist and hips you have an hourglass figure So mentioning you're just like an hourglass. You have nothing but time I'm referring to how attractive your figure is that I can see you have much that I can see how much time you have That doesn't make sense and you can't see my figure because these are random pictures of people of google And it's just the face anyway, bro Like the more time there is the bigger the hourglass is thus saying you have nothing but time You have all the time.

Today we are going to focus on receiving breakthrough in our lives, receiving moving forward with God, working with God and receiving miracles in our life. Amen Church. In 2005, a National Science Foundation published an article regarding a research about human thoughts per day and an average person has about 12 to 60,000 thoughts per day. My guess would be 12, closer to 12,000 that would be men, and on 60,000 probably women. I don't know for sure, but that's my gut feeling. And the surprising fact of it, I mean I know we're actually a little bit negative human beings, but 80% of our thoughts scientists concluded they are negative. And that 95% of our thoughts are repeating thoughts from yesterday and for the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday and you get the point. Most of our thinking are not new, but it's recycle thinking. It's the same thing that we thought about yesterday and things that we thought about the day before yesterday. And in some sense it's good, but in the other sense it's alarming, because if 80% of it are negative, then we are in trouble. Because the quality of our life, I believe that the quality of our life is determined by the quality of our thoughts and the quality of our mind. Baba says, as the man thinks, so is he. So who you are is the collection of thoughts.  You are where you are because of that kind of thinking that you have. See, I often say this when people come to me and ask me, they tell their said life story and how things were unfortunate and they try to excuse why they are where they are and they can't move forward. And I tell them this is that the difference between a man under the bridge that can't provide for themselves that's addicted to substances, addicted to things and a person in a white house or in influential positions, they are both physically equally the same. They have two hands, two feet, they have a nose, two eyes, they have ears. They are physically capable of the very same thing. But what separates them is this 4x4 inch box right here that contains your thoughts, your thinking and how you approach life. And that's what separates a man from a success. That's what separates a man from being in health. That's what separates a man or a woman from a certain path in their life. It's the collection of thoughts in their mind. That's why Romans, Apostle Paul writes, chapter 12 verse 2 says, don't copy the behavior in the customs of this world, which is we just read 80%, it's negative. But it says, but God transforms you into a new person by changing the way you think.   You're thinking from negative to positive, from fear and doubt into faith so that you can be a different person. Oftentimes people try to apply discipline. People try to make change from the outside in. They try to modify their behavior. But that's not the way it works. That's not how God works with us. God first wants to renew our mind. He wants to change our thinking. He wants to replace our thoughts so that our life can reflect in the physical realm that behavior, that mental change. God works from outside in, not from inside out. Sometimes church works differently even. People sometimes even in churches are more concerned about how you look and how you behave more than what you think. But just because the church even sometimes approaches these things that way, that doesn't mean that's the way God works. God works from outside in. He works from the mind out. And let me tell you something that your mental state and your mindset will limit God's work, Holy Spirit's work within you if it's not lined up with the word of God, if it's not according to the word of God. Let me give you an example. If you're constantly walking in guilt and shame, I'm nobody. God doesn't love me. I just, I didn't do good enough here. I messed up there. I've seen it there. I told God I'm not going to do this, but I slipped up again and you constantly beat yourself down. You constantly walk in shame and negativity and low self-esteem. Holy Spirit will be limited what He's able to do with you because you're not walking in faith. You're walking in negativity, guilt, and shame. Let me prove it to you from the Scripture. Bible says that Holy Spirit when He comes, He's going to convict the world of sin. Remember the Scripture? But He's going to convict us of righteousness. Let me ask you this. How many times, when is the last time you actually got convicted by the Holy Spirit that you are righteous? Come on, let's be honest. That's the word of God. I'm not making things up. Oftentimes we're convicted of our, and we walk, we call it conviction, but it's guilt and condemnation and shame and we limit our relationship with God. It pushes us away from God. That's why it's so important and we must allow the Holy Spirit to skin us as I'm talking today to you and I'm talking that to myself as well. We have to allow Holy Spirit and His light to skin us according to His word so that we can figure out and find out the things in the mindsets that we got to confront, the thoughts that we got to remove and replace with God's word and His promises. Let me hear you shout, amen. Amen, amen. See, let's go into the Scripture. Mark chapter 5 verse 24. It says this, A large crowd followed and pressed around him and a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and spent all she had. Yet instead of getting better, she grew worse. Verse 27, when she heard about Jesus, say, she heard about Jesus. Everybody say, she heard about Jesus. She came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak because she thought, say, she thought, if I just touch the clothes, I will be healed. And immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. At once Jesus realized the power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, who touched my clothes? You see the people crowding against you, his disciples answered. And yet you ask, who touched me? But Jesus kept looking around and see who had done it. Then the woman knowing what had happened to her came and fell at his feet and trembling with fear told him the whole truth. And he said to her, daughter, your faith, say, your faith has healed you. Go on peace and be free from your suffering. Jesus said, daughter, your faith has healed you. What is he referring to? Which faith? What is faith? Verse 27 says this, verse 28. For she thought. And another translation he said, she said in her heart. She said it to herself. I believe that it wasn't a single thought. I believe it wasn't a random single thought. She thought once and said, you know, let me just go act on it. I believe it was continuous. She was continuously talking to herself that if I touch Jesus, if I come to Jesus, if only I touch even the garment, the edge of his garment, I would be made whole. She created that image in her mind. And she said, if only I can get close enough, I believe the power of his power will touch me and I'll be made whole. I believe some people have to create an image today. They have to embrace and receive a thought from the Word of God. That if only I can come close to Jesus, my family will be restored. If only I can come close to Jesus, my marriage will be restored. If only I can get close to Jesus, his power will lift up my business. If only I can come to Jesus, his power will heal my body. But I want you to notice this was she thought to herself. My question is, what are you thinking today? What are your thoughts? I'm not talking about once in a while some random thought pops in in your head. I'm talking about, what do you continuously tell yourself? Who do you continuously to profess it by yourself? How do you see yourself in the light of a situation? Do you see yourself as a victim? Do you see yourself as a loser, as a nobody, as a reject?  Or do you see yourself as a blessed, as highly favored? Do you see yourself as a person that whatever I touch is blessed? Whatever I go, I am blessed. Whatever I do, God is supporting my position. Because whatever Bible says, man thinks, so is he. What do you think? So that's who you are. As we're talking today, and as we're, you know, every single person in this place, you have something you're going through, whether it's big or whether it's small. There's some people that in this room or those that are watching, that you're fighting sickness.  There's somebody here that nobody in your family has gone to school by degree education. And you're fighting against that stigma and against the paradigm in your mind and you don't think it's possible. You don't even think that way because you haven't seen it modeled. You haven't seen it possible in your family.  You haven't seen a good harmony, a family with harmony and unity, peace and love. And that's what your mindset and that's what you're fighting against. I'm going to tell you that there is a way to your breakthrough. There is a path and Jesus lays it out in His Word and that starts with the way you perceive and the way you think. Verse 27, it says this. She heard about Jesus. She heard about Jesus. She heard about Jesus. The Bible says that the faith comes from hearing. And the hearing of the Word of God. Hearing what we listen to, what we hear, what we feed ourselves daily will determine the kind of thoughts and the kind of mindset that we're going to have. Naturally, as statistics and research has proven that as a fallen man, as a fallen woman, we are prone to think negative. We don't have to try to do that. We don't have to force ourselves to do that. All we have to do is just relax and let our mind drift and it will go into the direction of negativity. Just, it happens automatically. I wish it was the other way around, but it's in a perfect world and there's evil and there's broken and that's just the way things are. And so we have to put an effort and we have to be intentional and we have to guide our mind, we have to guide our thoughts to Apostle Paul says to think on the things that are Godly, that are honorable, that are noble, that are pure, that are holy. If it was just an automatic, then Apostle Paul wouldn't tell us and would not commend us to think on those things. And the other place Apostle Paul says that we have to take our thoughts captive and submit them to Christ. Taking them captive, that sounds like a war, that sounds like a struggle, that sounds like a fight and doesn't sound easy. So that means we got to be actively engaged, but where do we start? We start. Today we're talking about a path to breakthrough in your life. Where do we start? We start by the way, we start from what do we allow to get into your spirit. What we listen, what kind of songs we listen, what kind of messages we listen, what kind of word, what kind of news do we allow to get inside of us? For some of you practically speaking, that means that you've got to cut out some friends in your life because they're just no good. They're speaking negative in your life. They're not bringing you up, they're on the opposite pulling you down. It's like, I heard this terminology, I don't know if it's true or if it's not true, I'm sorry, but it made sense to me. One crab in the bucket mindset is that when you put one crab in the bucket, it will climb out of it by itself. Crab, like you know those things. I'm like looking at some of your faces and you're confused. Not crab, crab. Sorry, when I get too excited, my accent sometimes slips up. One time I said fog and people thought I said something else. A lot of confused faces in the church. But crab in the bucket, right? If you put one crab in the bucket, it climbs out of it. But when you put at least two or more, as soon as one starts climbing up, the other one keeps pulling it down. As soon as one starts climbing up, the other one keeps pulling it down. And as long as there's more than one crab in the bucket, none of them escape. Some of you practically, that means you've got to get rid of certain things in your life. Things that keep constantly pulling you down. Things that constantly drain you. If it's friends, come on, let's talk about it. It's good stuff. I feel it now. You've got to cut out secular music.  You've got to surround yourself, practically speaking, surround yourself with Godly people. People that are going into the direction that you're going. People that want to make something of themselves. People that want to grow. People that want to take the next step in their career, in their business, in their life, in their spiritual walk with God. You can just hope and wish that someday, somehow, somewhere, you're going to end up where you want to be without making a practical step towards changing your mind. And it starts with what you receive. This is the reason why every service, we have two, three, four testimonies, to share God's goodness, to share with you what God is doing. And when these testimonies are going on at church, I encourage you, listen to them. Absorb them because it's what God is doing. If he's doing it for somebody else, he can do it for you. Those moments, even if God healed somebody's pinky, we rejoice with them. We're glad that God did it because if he can heal a pinky, he can heal an arm. If he can heal an arm, he can heal the rest of the body. God has no respect for a person and there is no small or big thing for him. And so when testimonies are going on, it's a great opportunity to align your thinking, to put yourself and direct yourself into the direction of God's promises and God's word. Victoria's life is not a life in accident. You don't stumble into a life of victory. You don't stumble into the life of good health. You don't stumble into a successful business. You don't stumble into a successful marriage. It takes work. It takes taking your thoughts captive and directing it towards the godly things, the good things, positive things, the word of God. See, because your thoughts, your thoughts, they produce your expectation. What you constantly think on, you begin to expect. You begin to anxiously await for it. You begin to draw it to yourself. That's what Bible says. I didn't come up with it and all of those other teachings out there about positive thinking and about directing your thoughts, all of this stuff, they all took it from the Bible.  God said to Joshua, he said, I'm going to meditate on my war day and night and I will make you, I'll give you good success. That predates where anybody in any religion that we know of.  That's why you will see some person in one area of their life. They'll be successful, they'll have good success, but in other area they're struggling because their mind might not be renewed in that area. Now I'm not saying just because you're struggling, you're going through a season in your life, that means you don't have faith, you don't have a relationship with God. No, that's not what I'm saying. We go through seasons, we go through things, but I'm talking about mental state. This woman, she had, she was hemorrhaging for 12 years. Yet you see this woman gone from doctor to doctor, from place to place, seeking solution. And every place she went, unfortunately, they gave her a negative diagnosis, bad diagnosis and unfortunately it didn't help her. But one thing about this woman is she did not give up looking after 12 years and after spending all of her resources. And the day came that she heard that Jesus is giving out different types of diagnosis. That Jesus has a potential. He is able to heal her possibly of her disease. And she pursued that. She directed her thoughts that way and she pursued it and she went and she put herself in a harm's way because women at that time, especially when they had a bleeding problem, they were not allowed to be in the crowds. They were not allowed to be around men of that culture. And so she went after Jesus but it was right here because in her mind she was already with Jesus for however long, the period of time. She only acted upon the continuous thinking that she had, that she was doing. Your thoughts, they produce your faith. Your thoughts, they produce your faith. They produce either faith or fear. They either produce courage and bravery or they produce doubt and cowardness. Your thoughts either make you, in your thoughts you either hold and you're at peace or you're in constant anxiety. That's why Apostle Paul says that we have to brittle our thoughts. We have to put a brittle on it. We have to break them in. We have to conquer them and we have to submit them to the Word of God. A man of God once said that to the degree that we think the thoughts of God, is to that degree that we will walk in the power of God. We will walk in authority of God. We will walk in perfect health and healing and breakthrough in your life. It's not occasional thoughts. It's not just the thoughts that come once to a service like this and I get pumped and excited and I do it for one or two days and then I'm back into my own way and the old pattern of thinking but it's continuously consistent with God. But it's continuously, consistently feeding yourself so that you can think on those things as Apostle Paul says, on things that will bring you to your perfect health. Things that will bring you to your breakthrough. Things that will bring you to your healing. Things that will bring you to a restoration of your marriage. Amen church. Amen, amen, amen. Thoughts that produce expectation and expectation that it draws, it breeds miracle whether it's a supernatural, supernatural good miracle or a bad miracle. I heard this story of one woman that was testifying and her case was that in her family people when they were giving birth they were experiencing problems during birth and they would have C-section and there are some of them that actually died during C-section because there were some complications so she developed fear that if she were to get pregnant that she would also have C-section and that as she continued to think about it and give room for those thoughts and meditate on them she became to fear that if she would have C-section that she would die and so she got married and she was kind of trying to not have kids whether she could and eventually she got pregnant and she was afraid of C-section and of course what she was expecting came upon her when it was time to deliver there was complications she couldn't deliver naturally they were doing a C-section and as she was expecting there was a lot of complications in her body and she was bleeding out and she was about to die but at that point she was already saved she was going to the church and she heard a similar message but she didn't give much thought to it back then and in this laying on the operational table as doctors were trying to save her life Holy Spirit reminded her of the message and said the reason why it's happening is because you have that negative faith for it and it's happened to you but if you partner with me right now I'll give you the faith and I'll bring you through it and she began to reject the thoughts of death she began to reject the thoughts that she will die and she will not be able to live and she partnered up with the Holy Spirit and she said she felt like this heat like this warmth Holy Spirit came into her body all of a sudden her bleeding problems stopped right there doctors were surprised what happened and then she healed up well and she lived and she did not die and then she had as she had that experience with the Holy Spirit she began to break down that fear of giving birth again and she conceived once again and she gave birth and she gave birth naturally then she conceived again and again and she had four children after that that she gave birth naturally and there was no complication the difference between the first time and the last four is she partnered up with the different spirit she engaged with work she engaged with the Holy Spirit by her faith and Holy Spirit brought the promises through in her life in Jesus' mighty name you know a sincere in the Bible I don't know Jesus marveled at his faith she came to Jesus to ask that Jesus would come and lay his hand on his servant that he cared so much about so he would be made well and then as they were walking I don't know what he was thinking and my guess would be that impulse or thought I bet you if he had got to ask Jesus for such a thing as send your word and heal my servant I bet you that he thought about it a lot more beforehand and he says Jesus send your word nobody has asked for that before and Jesus marveled at his faith he said send your word and my servant will be healed that Jesus had to stop everything get everybody's attention and said this man that kind of faith it was his mind he says I tell my servants his level of thinking was on a different level he said I know how the word works because I practice it I know what it does now you do what I do with servants you do it with the word and that's what sets certain people aside from the other from the other person there was one man one was very successful and one was in and out of jail and criminal background heavy drinking addicted to drugs and children from different people marriage couple times fell apart this life was not wasn't put together and they came and asked him listen why do you think your life is the way it is and he said I know exactly why it is it's because of my dad he beat our mom he was abusive he spoke negative things over my life he was never there he didn't provide it we had to provide for ourselves from early age and he went on and on and on just vomiting this disgusting nasty things adding a few colorful words why the way why he is the way he is and he was right he was true that's exactly what happened to him but then they also interviewed another man that was very successful had an attorney had a life had a good marriage had good children very reputable man in the community just had his life put together and he was his brother so they asked him why do you think you are the way that you are and he said because of my dad so they marveled because well hold on don't you guys have the same dad and didn't you guys went through the same thing the abuse, neglect and this and that all the yes we did but I made decision in my mind I've directed my mind towards not to ever be like that and so I made different decisions I've gone through school I stuck through school and it was hard I made different choices and today I enjoy a different life two men went through the very same thing but have two different outcomes because where they directed their thoughts toward and so today the word of God calls you think on things that are honorable on things that are pure on things that are noble on things that are good Bible says to meditate on his word day and night and you will find great success pick up a book of proverbs read it one chapter a day learn principles of God that you can operate and work by your life will never be the same begin to meditate on the principles and precepts of God because those they will establish your life wonderful woman that will bring health and healing to your body Bible says to send his word and heal their diseases his word will heal your body he will restore your broken marriage he will restore your family he will bring your kids back home he will elevate you in a business he will elevate you in your career if you allow his word to direct your thoughts in Jesus name in a mighty name of Jesus Christ today God is calling you to check your thinking check the continuous patterns of thoughts that you have you know that's something that Holy Spirit revealed to me many years ago I said 10 years ago and I've been in work in progress since then working on my mind said in Holy Spirit one by one will be removing different strongholds removing different patterns of thinking in my life and working with me you know at some point you kind of get to a certain degree that you feel okay by yourself I'm not too bad I'm not too negative you know I'm not too but there's always more room to to grow and Holy Spirit only works through our thinking our mind it's a material that we give him to put our life together and just you know a few weeks ago as I was reading the Word of God reading the same story I know this story by heart I've heard it for 20 years of my life and then this first stuck to me once again for she thought and that thought changed her life around and that thought changed her destiny and that thought removed a limitation in her life and that thought brought her back to her family that thought restored her marriage an intimacy in marriage in Jesus mighty name the thoughts that you choose to embrace will determine where you go in the story of Aiken he chose to he chose to hide the clothes that God said that doesn't belong to him but action never proceeds a thought it always comes a thought and you think long enough on it and then it spills into actions that's how we work right and so when Aiken when his first thought came to him you know we're conquering the city there's a lot of beautiful clothes but God said don't touch it and instead of rejecting the thought and said God said and this four I won't do it he began to retain the thought over and over and over again I said the thoughts spilled into action and he hid the clothes he fed Bible says the beautiful garments the gold and all that under his tent and then what he hid came to bite him back he lost his life lost his family lost all his possessions because the thoughts that you choose to hide the thoughts that you choose to cultivate in your mind we either bring you to life or bring you to destruction and there is no middle ground in the New Testament Ananias and Sophia Apostle says why did you let Satan to put a thought in your mind to lie to the Holy Spirit to lie to the man of God and that thought being in a good place in the church doing a good thing they gave up most of their possession they just kept a little bit more than they said but they embraced a wrong thought they plundered on it and they destroyed them and so our thoughts what we think who what we do matters and either limits us or pushes us forward that was a man that was a man his name was in portuguese if you guys can put up the picture when he was 13 years old he was diagnosed at Lisbon hospital to have an incurable muscular dystrophy in the last 40 years he was confined to a wheelchair in 2010 one neurologist realized when he was for a checkup he realized that he was misdiagnosed for the last 40 years he gave him new diagnosis turns out that sickness that he had was very much curable with widely available medicines small dose of medicine and some physical therapy after months of physical therapy this man began to walk for the first time in his life in 13 years as he's been walking and taking care of himself but what stopped him and what limited him what put him in a wheelchair for 40 years in his life was that he heard that his disease is incurable and instead of fighting going for a second opinion third opinion fourth opinion instead of looking for a solution here and there he said the wheelchair will do today I wonder as this man was confined to a wheelchair limited access, limited mobility limited life limited relationships I wonder today how many of us are mentally in certain area are confined to a wheelchair in the area of education nobody has gone to school in your family so therefore you're not even pursuing it you're not dreaming about it in the area of your finances always lack never progressing never moving forward always working minimum jobs in the area of your health in the area of marriage constantly seeing divorce walking with that negative and broken mindset always expecting bad things to happen always expecting something terrible to happen break up to happen divorce to happen whatever the area in your life might be that's what I'm wondering in which area in your life right now you accepted the wheelchair you stopped looking for a solution you stopped fighting for breakthrough that thought already built a stronghold in your mind and you're not expecting anything good to come into your life because remember what we said our thoughts they produce expectation and expectation it draws that thing that you're expecting we must constantly allow Holy Spirit to work with our mind and our mindset we're talking today about path to your breakthrough so first thing, first step is we have to watch what we're listening to we have to watch our intake we have to meditate in the Word of God we have to allow positive messages podcasts, sermons, worship that we cultivate a right type of mindset second thing that we have to do write it down is the way it starts is with single mind you introduce a single thought it first starts with a single thought doesn't matter how overwhelming that area in your life is overwhelming the feeling of regret feeling of loneliness feeling of rejection you can overcome it and the way you do it by introducing one thought positive thought a promise of God, a word of God a good thought, a noble thought in that area is that I'm not alone Holy Spirit is with me I'm not afraid, though I walk to the valleys of shadow of death He's always with me that I'm not rejected I'm accepted, not only accepted Jesus Christ died for me to receive me He paid the highest price for me you begin to introduce a single thought of a promise of God you begin to repeat the thought that's why repetition of Scripture memorizing Scripture and repeating the word of God over and over again so many testimonies, so many people that received healing in their bodies because they took Scriptures two, three, four Scriptures in his stripes I am healed and even though there is pain and persistence in their body they're walking, they're building their spirit they're speaking to themselves in his stripes I am made whole, in his stripes I am healed they begin to declare the promise of God that I will live and I will not die they begin to declare the promise of God that whatever I touch, whatever my hand touches it's blessed, I am blessed when I go in and when I go out in a city, out in a field my family is blessed my children is blessed my marriage and they take the word and they begin to introduce it and they begin to repeat it over and over and over and over until that word drops into your spirit see when you begin to repeat that thought then it becomes a collection of thoughts you had a did it happen to you sometime when you're you're mad with somebody right and you wish you could tell them everything that you think, I had plenty of it and then you know in a shower or you need drive you know whatever and you thinking like I would have said this and I would have said this and I would tell them how terrible they are here and what they, and you you're collecting the thoughts, you know and you're rehearsing them, rehearsing them, rehearsing them hour goes by, two hours go by and you keep from and the person said she's like this too so I'm not the only one, I'm not crazy so they said it too, they see it too and what happens is you keep collecting and then all of a sudden what happens is you get a mindset and you and you don't like that person that's kind of your mindset, they view them in negative light anything they do, even the good thing they do your mindset she's like questions their motives right? right? but it works the same way in a positive manner when you take the word of God when you take the promise of God when you take a scripture and you begin to meditate and you begin to add to those thoughts you begin to add testimonies to it you begin to add other scriptures to it and you begin to rehearse that my marriage is doing awesome God has blessed me, everything we live in peace and harmony and my children are coming back home they're gonna serve God they will not be roaming the streets aimlessly and they begin to introduce that by thought that God is behind me God is supporting my position he's working on my behalf and it becomes a collection of thoughts that collection of thoughts when you do it over time becomes your mindset so now it gets a little bit when it gets to the mindset it gets a little bit easier because first three steps it's like pushing a semi up the hill sometimes you win, sometimes you lose sometimes it runs you over but nonetheless you keep pushing you keep pushing, you keep pushing and then comes this break, comes this period where it begins to drop in your spirit and it becomes a mindset it begins a little easier you still have to focus, you still have to direct yourself but it becomes easier to think on the good things it becomes easier to think on good thoughts it becomes easier to meditate on God's promises and you begin to slowly but surely see that you're more positive you begin to attract better things into your life you begin to see how God begins to slowly open up the door but don't give up because there's a next stage there's actually two more stages you have to keep working at it until you build a stronghold stronghold stronghold is when it anchors in your spirit it anchors in your mind you know there's negative strongholds there's strongholds of fear and those strongholds they paralyze you, they limit you limit you for example we had a lady that came to our church and she got in a terrible terrible accident the people died in the car when she was in the accident from there on she had and she was the driver and from there on she had an absolute she was absolutely terrified and had a fear of driving, phobia of driving and for many years she did not drive because any time she gets in the car she gets paralyzed and with that incident it created a stronghold there in her mind in her spirit and Pastor Vlad brought her to the office she said please pray for me I'm an adult, I need to drive Pastor Vlad said I won't be praying for you because you need to work on your mind you need to first of all open your mind to the Holy Spirit before he begins to work in this air in your life he gave her few verses and one particular verse that God doesn't give a spirit of fear but a spirit of sound mind and so he said take this verse and write it a thousand times for the next week write it a thousand times say it aloud and write it on a piece of paper write on a piece of paper and when you're done come back here we'll pray for you and you'll be delivered and so we had a prayer line schedule for we had a prayer line schedule for Sunday and this was Sunday before Saturday before that happened next thing we know she pulls up to church on Wednesday or Thursday with her own car driving by herself and we say did you come for prayer? she's like no I'm good now why? she opened her mind to the possibility of God she renewed her mind and a spirit and a stronghold was broken in Jesus name it works similar and positive as it is in negative when you begin to build a mindset maybe you're thinking about it thought after thought you begin to fight you begin to proclaim I am healed by his stripes I am healed he sent his word and he heals my diseases and you begin to quote the scriptures you begin to repeat it over and over and over and over again until it becomes your mindset then you know even maybe you're still feeling that pain in your body but you already squared up your shoulders you had lifted you walking with confidence knowing that God has your position and then the strongholds begin to shape stronghold is a dwelling place a house if I can put it that way and then what happens that God the rough begins to come in and heal you because there's a place for him to abide Holy spirit comes and he takes residence in your body because there's room for him to dwell in let me tell you something that even demons don't like desert places you hear what I said even demons don't like desert places they want strongholds in the Bible Jesus said when the demon is cast out of the house and the house is swept clean the demons they go roaming in desert places and dry places but they can't do that for too long they come back looking to get back in if the house is not occupied let me tell you something Holy spirit doesn't like desert places either he doesn't like empty places he wants a house to live in he wants a place prepared for him in your mind and the room that you built for him he will eventually occupy and he will be the Lord of it over that area whatever area whether it's health, whether it's business whether it's finances, whether it's family the room that you built for him in your mind a stronghold he will occupy in the same sense like I said the devil and a demonic spirit still work we have prayer line deliverances every single service we pray for people different occasions throughout the week and there's one thing you will you will know if that a person that is oppressed by demon usually has a stronghold and a mind that allows the demon to dwell in, abiding whether it's abuse, neglect rejection whether it's some kind of a trauma that happened to them whether it's negative experience it's a failure after failure after failure after failure it creeps in our mind we begin to play it over and over again then fear begins to dominate what if it happens again what if it's going to come to me again well my mom died out of cancer at age of 53 and now I'm afraid that you know I will have that same thing and then that spirit when you long enough to see the loneliness, the rejection that victimized mindset then when the place is prepared for that demon he comes and he dwells in it and now the problem is not only on the mental level now you have a spiritual problem that you need deliverance from and so today I challenge you church as I'm talking I know Holy Spirit is revealing areas in your life where you defeated mentally, emotionally where you drained where you give up and you don't try, you don't try to find a different diagnosis you don't try to find a different remedy you're done fighting whether it's in marriage whether it's in your with your kids whether it's in your business, your career whether it's in your health I want to encourage you get back into the word of God surround yourself with God the people surround yourself with positivity let God's word penetrate your soul build him a stronghold build him a house where Holy Spirit can dwell and work out that answer in your life in Jesus name put your hands together for Jesus Christ every stronghold has an occupant every stronghold has an occupant I challenge you to build God the strongholds good strongholds but David says God is my refuge my stronghold he is my refuge and my stronghold that's why David says therefore I will not fear no evil I will not fear of the pestilence during the night I will not fear the enemy trying to plan against me I will not fear I will not fear the trap that the enemy says before me and even if I fall into it I know he will deliver me even if I fail I know he will deliver me I know he will save me I know he will pull me out see a person with negative mindset can't take failure failure is terrifying to them a person that has a Godly mindset he says even if I'm captured even if I fail even if something happens to me I know God is able to take me out and Joseph said that even what people meant for bad for me God took that and made it good the reason why I know Joseph wasn't better the Joseph wasn't victim of his circumstances the reason why I know for fact that Joseph he wasn't contemplating all these negative things in his life because he was helping to fulfill other people's dream in prison let me tell you something a person that gave up on their dreams they will never help another person to fulfill theirs 100% on the opposite you'll see those better people walking around oh you're trying to I try that don't bother it's not gonna work Joseph had a different mindset he believed in a dream he meditated on the things that God showed him he said one day I don't know how I don't know when I don't know what's gonna happen and he will fulfill his promise God will bring me out he will bring my family out he will bring my business out he will bring my career out but God is still on the throne and he will do what he said he will do in Jesus' mighty name he will do what he promised in my life he will fulfill every promise in my life in Jesus' mighty name so that each time we upload something you can be notified don't forget to share this content with your friends and

is taking over it. Okay great. So the recording has started. Let's resume. So to the question here on chat where Kennedy asked how could it be said the author of salvation was made perfect to suffering. So I just posted a response saying Jesus was already perfect in his character and obedience to the Father. Of course the following verses will show us that the perfection that is being spoken of here is the human experience of pain and sorrow that was made complete in Jesus's life. And Christopher has a comment he says with being fully God and fully man Jesus was yet sinless on the earth. So that's a comment right Christopher did you want to ask? Actually I just thinking it through I just felt that being in this dichotomous sort of situation or this characteristic of Jesus on the earth being fully God and fully man it seemed that there were things that he exercised being fully God. I mean if he was fully man then he could have sinned and every man sinned basically. So to that point I think that there were some parts of being fully God that he exercised and there were some some aspects of him being fully God which he did not exercise you know and I think he had all the all the all everything within him being fully God and some parts some some aspects of it he did not he did not actually exercise or he did not use when he was on the earth and being fully man he he actually demonstrated aspects of being fully man you know I mean having emotion and having you know feeling hunger and having you know those kind of those kind of things so just it's not actually a question I mean I just trying to you know just think through how this sort of played out you know being fully God and fully man yeah. Yeah so yeah Christopher we are trying to you know comprehend this whole matter and as we've been saying there were certain attributes certain capacities that he left behind and yes there he was fully God so as you're rightly pointing out he did have have the potential to to walk or to demonstrate some of those some of those things but he sort of withheld it but there were times when it came up on the other hand he fully embraced humanity so humanity everything that has to do with humanity the limitations of being a human being the challenges all of that he he walked through so I know human minds find it very hard to grasp it but we have some clarity and let's pray that you know it continues to deepen from this point forward yes so I I'll just check with Shikumar if he wanted to ask a question or share his thoughts please go ahead Shikumar okay Shikumar got here you ah now now we get here please go ahead my question my question my question is just in the Romans sorry in the in the 10th word where it says that um in the bringing of many sons into the glory so I just want to know that in the in the Romans chapter 8 also it says that the creation is waiting for the the manifestation of the sons of God and and again the Bible says in the Romans chapter 8 that those who are led by the spirits of God are the sons of God spirit of God are sons of God so this glory what is the the the author is trying to mention here is this glory is is is something which is manifested upon us or is it going to manifest um in coming days that is my question like no this glory but because in the book of Romans it says that the creation is waiting for the grow to manifestation of the sons of God so so my question is are we already in the glory of what that the fullness of that glory which which the Jesus wants us to have or the what the Bible is saying is it is the future thing thank you pastor that's my question yes thank you Shikumar a very important question there so what is this glory that we are talking about all right okay so I'm not getting the scripture here but the book of John where Jesus says you're he while talking to the father he says that you know you've given me a glory he talks about so we term it as sonship glory okay sonship glory so Jesus walked with a certain glory here on earth which he wanted them to pass on to those who believed in him and so we as his disciples now have what is known as sonship glory that's what we are talking about over here Shikumar and I couldn't find that exact verse when I find it I'll post it for you later sorry 1722 okay let's look at it yeah thank you so this is John chapter 17 verse 22 I've given them the glory you gave me so they may be one as we are one I'm reading the nld translation yeah so John 17 and verse 12 this is referring to sonship glory yeah I hope that answers your question there yes pastor now my question is then what about in the Corinthians is say that we will move from glory to glory this is the same sonship glory we will move from glory to glory or the sonship glory is to operate on this earth is it yeah so that's what sonship glory is to operate on the earth and there is a different glory when we you know move on from this world into the the age to come and you know eternal life and after death and all that so that's how we will perceive it the Shikumar so there's certain glory we require to live that victorious life here on earth and Jesus gives that to us and we are calling that glory here or not the sonship glory there'll be a different glory when we are thank you pastor thank you thank you yeah thank you okay so really nice so interesting to meditate on all these scriptures um yeah so we've done till verse 10 let's move on to verse 11 so uh we can read verses 11 through 13 and uh anyone can volunteer it was chapter 2 verse 11 yeah even 14 I guess you can read 11 to 14 11 okay I have a few where almost asa go ahead okay yes kishan is that okay say asha asa you can please asha go ahead please for he who sent the source signify all I want source that is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers saying I will tell of your names my brothers in the midst of the congregation I will sit and praise and I'll put my trust in him and again behold I and the children God has given me since day for the children share the flesh and blood he himself like as part of of the same things that show that he might destroy the one who has power of death that is the devil yes so uh we saw in the verses from 11 to 13 more about the humanity of Jesus so uh Jesus you know we talked about all his titles the begotten uh and the expressiveness of God exalted so many things we saw about Jesus but see here uh for both he who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified that's referring to the believers those who are being sanctified are who yeah the believers are all of one for which reason he's not ashamed to call them brethren so see Jesus it's again everything is is just so amazing in revealing the kind of relationship that God wants with us uh here he's called our brother Jesus my brother okay Jesus my savior Jesus my Lord Jesus you know so many other titles we give him but he doesn't mind being called our brother and in that whole Jewish context you know being a brother being a kid's being related to someone can with its responsibilities very strong responsibilities so uh there's also uh an implication towards that where uh there is that bond of love but God is also like hey whatever needs to be done I'm there for you you know I'm there to care for you and I'm there you know walking with you that kind of uh that kind of uh a sense of care and care is what comes through here and it says he's not ashamed to call them brethren so imagine how strengthening this word must have been to the believers of the first century in their pain the writer is saying you have a brother you know and this brother he for them brother oh brother okay my a family member who will take some responsibility regarding us so he's trying to tell them you're not alone you have this great God who's not ashamed to call you brethren or in other words he's your brother he's even coming to that extent and verse 12 saying I will declare your name to my brethren see it's it's like embracing the people embracing the believers and saying you're part of my family we have a deeper bond so uh I will declare your name to my brethren so the believers are brethren it shows so many things as a human being yes he is saying you know I am sharing in your humanity but it's also showing how he's not you know he's not or his humility humility in other words we can see that why would he want to call himself a brother oh again he could have chosen some other title but the Bible is showing us that he doesn't mind being humble it doesn't take away anything from him you know trying to establish that kind of a human relationship with us okay and there is the beauty of God right there it says I will declare your name to my brethren in the midst of the assembly I will sing you sing praise to you so again the conversation within the the Trinity where Jesus know he is praising the Father so there is so much honour within the Trinity the Father is honouring the Son the Son is honouring the the Father so they are working they're not fighting against each other but they're all working together and verse 13 and again uh I will put my trust in him and again here am I and the children whom God has given me so see basically it's just humanity the children whom God has given me and we were towards 14 from here but before that I think there's a question yes say please go ahead thank you pastor so I was just gonna ask that would would it be okay to say that Jesus is my big brother or my elder brother in the understanding we have from the scripture yes so we can we can say that see all of these things that we are learning you know even this concept of Jesus is my brother it's great but I would also add that we shouldn't we shouldn't you know extrapolate and bring many other things out of it for example you look at the Old Testament it says God says I'm your husband he says to to Israel that's great the God's people so what what is the essence of what he's saying he's saying the government you know responsibility protection all that I take care of you like that but then you know if it goes to the point of where people claim that hey no God is my husband it becomes a little peculiar okay so that's my point so we say Jesus is my brother because we understand the essence of what he's trying to say but then to constantly you know keep saying that hey Jesus is my brother Jesus is my it shouldn't become a peculiar thing or a weird weird sort of a concept or doctrine doesn't make sense it makes sense basically you're saying we shouldn't kind of delete Jesus Christ is such a way that we only just tell me mass elder brother and we forget that this is our Lord and Savior this is our I think I basically think what you're saying is just concentrate more on the essence the relationship that's my point yeah okay awesome thank you pastor yes thank you thank you so okay all right so moving on now to verse 14 so in some um bibles when you see they'll separate the sections no so then they they have this title Jesus the elder brother for this portion and we understand when when he says elder brother he's just saying hey I'm taking responsibility and that was what was understood in the culture back then so verse 14 in as much then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood which is talking about us that we are human he himself likewise shared in the same that through death he might destroy him who had the power of death so remember we saw earlier he tasted death or for everyone and why taste death through death he might destroy him who had the power of death so we know that it was actually the triumph of you know of the cross when Jesus died and so destroy him who had power of death the Satan that is the devil and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage so it simply talks about our redemption it talks about the hope of resurrection obviously humanity saw death as the end but we know from scripture that death is not the end there are you know two destinies after that and when we are born again we believe in the Lord Jesus we accept what Jesus Christ has done through his sacrifice we now have salvation which you know as in turn we have heaven as our final destination and you know it also talks about the hope that came about after what Jesus did so before that humanity would have thought oh death is the end death is the end but us believers now even if loved one who believes passes away or we taste death we know that there is the hope of resurrection Satan has been defeated and we also have this wonderful hope of resurrection we read about that in passages in 1 Thessalonians 1 Thessalonians 4 13 to 18 where Paul encourages them hey come on there is going to be the the second coming and all the saints will rise up but they will come with Jesus so don't be discouraged so when the very fear of death that humanity grapples with praise God that the Lord Jesus has overcome that verse 16 verse 16 now for indeed he does not give aid to angel but he does give aid to the seed of Abraham so again going on speaking about this privilege to mankind how beautiful it said a man already has dominion and then Jesus has gone he calls him he is shared in our humanity he is not ashamed to call us his brother and it's also stating this passage is also stating that human beings and believers we now have this opportunity to receive the help of angels we aid you know not give aid to angels simply say God gives us that help that we need and also there is another way of describing the believers where he says the seed of Abraham the seed of Abraham now technically the seed of Abraham are the Jewish people naturally they are the descendants but if we look at you know passages such as Galatians 3 7 we read that by faith everyone who believes we who believe are now who we are the seed of Abraham again he's telling the believers come on you are to the Jewish believers particularly you're more than just seed as descendants but now by faith also you are the seed of Abraham and this is helpful for us because we may not be from that same race but just because we are believers by faith we are the seed of Abraham and saying seed of Abraham has its own implications because then we can talk about the blessings that God promised Abraham so if God promised Abraham and his descendants by faith we are the descendants of Abraham so we do have a part in the blessings that God promised Abraham so it's just sort of re-emphasizing humanity and how Jesus shared in that humanity and how he is establishing that relationship with us particularly the believers now moving on to verse 17 it says therefore in all things he had to be made like his brethren so you see he shared in our humanity that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God to make propitiation for the sins of the people so there's another concept that people usually talk about and that is identification we said substitution that we understood Jesus became our substitute identification what is identification identification he became like us he tasted humanity like us so when we say tasted humanity like us we've already mentioned you know the limitations of being a human the pain the suffering the good parts as well the choice that we experience as a human being but in entirety he tasted what humanness felt like and that was important that was important for Jesus because he then is the best representative that we have okay so he identified with us that's what this passage is the scripture is saying that he was made like the brethren that he might be a merciful faithful priest in things pertaining to God to make propitiation for the sins of the people so he became the best high priest that we could ever have now if we even study about high priests we know that a human being a representative of the children of Israel would be made the high priest because he could understand his people okay and that would lead him to represent the people well in the same way Jesus tasted humanity and it's not like he cannot relate with us right so when we when we say oh god you know I'm struggling with sin I'm struggling with addictions I'm struggling with with something else I'm suffering I'm going through all this in my life the beauty is not only can he represent us now but it adds more attributes to or rather talks about brings out certain attributes that God has he says merciful faithful high priest isn't that a privilege no we can have any high priest representing us but because he's gone through humanness he understands so sharing in humanity that's what we're talking about today Jesus sharing my humanity how did he share so he shared it in such a way that he's become unmerciful and faithful high priest that we could even you know go to him and that he would understand us and you know that is the reason we read that he sends us aid he gives us help because he knows that we need the aid or support that is required so that's a little bit from uh Hebrew chapter 2 we'll respond for a bit in case there are things that we want to discuss and then we'll jump right into Hebrews chapter 3 yes yes say yes pastor I just wanted to make a suggestion based on the explanation of the humanity of Jesus Christ now for anyone I think we talked about it that if you really want to just have a glimpse of Jesus in his humanity maybe you could go through the series chosen it kind of gives a bit of perspective of Christ in his humanity so it's would kind of throw more light on what pastor has talked about here about him being sharing in our humanity I think the chosen series does a good job in kind of exemplifying Christ in that light to us how he came in human form and how he lived a moment I just wanted to make that suggestion yeah thanks thanks for that I've heard about the chosen series I haven't seen it I think yeah I think those were interested you could look it up I can only refer to the gospels so even reading the gospels over and over again is very helpful for us to continually understand how did he live how did he walk what did he do and you know how exactly he shared in our humanity so thank you thank you for adding that is there anything else that anyone wanted to talk about let's move forward then we will look at chapter three of Hebrews and Joe oh okay yes please go ahead now I just wanted to also refer to this gospel verse which is you know John 14 12 and it's mentioned that you know very very truly I tell you whoever believes in me will do the works I've been doing and they will do even greater things in these because I'm going to the father so I mean in this in this kind of you know it's the nature of Jesus on the earth there's also a mention of you know you know human being being able to do even greater things than what what Jesus did so I don't know you know in the context of that you know the potential that that is available when we have you know when we have the Holy Spirit with us to do even greater things so yeah just really just mention that and maybe positive you can just explain that that point you know because sometimes that that can be quite confusing here okay yes Christopher Jesus did say that that we shall do we who believe we will do greater things than these so what he was really this is how we understand it Jesus did so many miracles and in fact there are places where it says that if we record all the you know miracles that Jesus did there wouldn't be place to record it something like that so there were many things that Jesus did and in John 14 12 amazingly he said you shall do greater things than these so what was he talking about and we don't even know what kind of miracles he did and how great there were some are mentioned some are captured for us in the gospels so how do we understand this greater works see now we have the empowering of the Holy Spirit and that is why Jesus told all his disciples even after they were born again John 20 he breathed on them and the Holy Spirit came to indwell them so they became born again technically so they are the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit but still he told them tanny wait for the Holy Spirit the baptism in the Holy Spirit and you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Chogia, Samaria and to the ends of the earth so the baptism in the Holy Spirit to empower the believer with the supernatural works of God so that's how we are able to do the greater works what are these greater works see we can look at it like Christopher not better works than Jesus it's not like that the way we understand greater works is greater in number see he had three years of ministry here on earth now supper fast we have many more years than that to do our ministry and even you know if you look at population why is you could say hey we have more opportunities so in number more works supernatural works of God can take place so in that sense yes greater we can say that now how else can this greater be interpreted see in the times of Jesus maybe certain miracles will not be applicable for example today there are people who testify that they had some sort of metal implant in their body but after prayer it changed into bone okay so in Jesus's times things like this could not have happened because nobody was doing metal implants at least nothing that I know of so today it's possible it's so unusual to say that something like this has taken place so in that sense also we use this term greater okay but one thing we are clear of we're not claiming greater ability than Jesus or you know like more credit than Jesus that's not the point it simply means more in number and unusual as compared to Jesus's times so I hope that gives you some perspective does it help oh yeah okay says thanks so thank you Christopher yes Divya please go ahead yeah I just had a wanted to add on toward the christmas so with asking as well as I had a comment just as I was reading this John 14 12 it's the latter part of the verse that really caught my attention because he says greater works the than these he will do because I go to my father so either it can be as like Pastor Nancy you said like the holy spirit will be sent right once Jesus Christ goes to the father and also I think as he goes to the father that is that intercession that takes place or you know it's I don't know what in like technically what is happening but there's something which I'm not aware of but he says when he says because I go to the father you will do greater works I like to read it in that way so it makes sense to me and also I was looking at the verse chapter 2 Hebrews chapter 2 verse 17 where it talks about the high priest like the therefore in all things he had to be made like his brethren that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest yeah so in that case also in order for him to be the high priest like he acts as a mediator right like he is representing the people as well as he's a representative of God as well like it's a it's a beautiful picture of the when we say he is the high priest so yeah grateful for that you know especially when it says he's a merciful high priest why because he is he knows right he knows all our temptations all the weaknesses still he shows mercy towards us and also it says faithful high priest I was just thinking about the Jews in those times we lost your audio there okay and that too through the high priest uh so yeah I'm just grateful for uh yeah that aspect of Jesus Christ that's mentioned over there as the high priest it's just a comment yeah yeah yeah thank you for sharing but the last bit that you said when I think of the Jews during those times we lost your voice there if you could briefly share that point yeah yeah yeah I was just telling like the Jews of those days they could approach God for the propitiation of sins only once in a like a day of atonement right just once in a year and when we think about that like we are so privileged like we can go to God like for the forgiveness or confessing our sins like anytime like it has made it has been made possible only because of Jesus Christ otherwise it's like oh I can't imagine what would have been our state yeah yeah thank you yes thank you Vidya thank you so much for sharing your views so just one point that I want to make but you had mentioned the latter part of the verse where he says when I go to the father so uh yes the main thing that changed was that the Holy Spirit was then set which he talked about in the book of John and we were we received the empowering of the Holy Spirit and as far as intercession is concerned that's that's the point I want to make so the intercession of Jesus yes he's interceding in heaven but one one aspect about intercession is we've seen that prayer and intercession goes where the act of Jesus of dying on the cross in itself is an intercession so uh that that is something I wanted to say he's praying right now but he's also done his intercession through the sacrifice on the cross so yeah praise God for all that we are learning about the Lord Jesus and who he is uh and how that applies to our lives so uh just think with me about the author and his intention so he's trying to help the believers the first century believers the Jewish believers uh and he's telling them you have a one you have a great salvation uh you have Jesus who is dating he made that point and he demolished their view of worshiping angels and told them no no Jesus is exalted they worship Jesus so we are supposed to worship Jesus so he made that point maybe there was that philosophy of Jesus was not fully human so then he talked about it and he said no Jesus was fully human he went through the pain and you know he went through the sufferings and all and he was perfected right through the sufferings and now he is a merciful and faithful high priest so he established that view now he's coming to another crucial crucial point that he makes wants to make for the believers and that is he wants to establish the greatness of Jesus over Moses uh now why does he want to do this in chapter three that's what we will see he wants to do this because in their view they honored many of these uh you know leaders and fathers as they as they term Abraham and Jacob and Moses and Moses had a very great standing in their eyes and somewhere their honor uh for for Moses would have been greater because they've learned that they really soaked in these things and now even though they know about the Lord Jesus as they're going through their challenges they are probably not understanding you know who is greater and so he wants to make it very very clear to the believers that Jesus is greater than Moses that Jesus is the faithful suck over the house of God deserving a greater glory than the kind of glory that Moses he will establish he will say Moses who is Moses he was a minister of God he was one who was serving God and that's that's what he will do now and he will continue to exhort the believers to to keep on growing in the faith and not sidetrack and he will also state that rebellion and unbelief will keep us out of the promises of God so that's what we have in chapter three so let's begin uh at verse one uh could somebody please read verses one through five or even six one through six verse one to six therefore holy brothers and sisters who share in the heavenly calling fix your thoughts on Jesus whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest he was faithful to the one who appointed him just as Moses was faithful in all God's house Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses just as the builder of the house has greater honor than the house itself for every house is built by someone but God is the builder of everything Moses was faithful was was was was faithful as a servant in all God's house bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future but Christ is faithful as the Son over God's house and we are his house if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and hope in which we glory amen amen thank you reading that saying so as we can see here a couple of things he addresses the believers see this is exhortation so it's like it's going to be a mix of uh encouragement warning encouragement warning so now encouragement he's saying uh holy brethren how that we've understood the work of Jesus who are we we are in Christ we uh we are being sanctified but we are sanctified in Christ Jesus holy brethren okay that's one way in which he addresses then he again encourages them he says partakers of the heavenly calling so he wants them to have that spiritual mindset not just earthly mindset know who you are in Christ and that's why he's calling them with all these words and moving on he says consider the apostle and high priest of our confession Christ Jesus so again he's trying to reveal who Christ is to us he says he's the apostle who is an apostle we know we talked about if he said somebody who is sent forth he's delegated in a sense so they are sent forth with orders somebody like a a messenger or a better word would be an ambassador so the father sent the son the Lord Jesus so that's how we see Jesus the apostle he is the apostle he says give attention of consider uh to consider Jesus he's also says he's the high priest of our confession what does it mean see high priest of our confession simply means that the father uh Jesus is in the presence of the father he's the apostle and high priest so when we confess what is aligned to the word of God it's something like he uh he represents our confession up in heaven or he kind of backs up our confession in heaven so we must make confessions which are aligned to the word of God because who is Jesus he has become the high priest of our confession who backs up those godly confessions so uh there is value in the words we speak you know every Sunday at church we exhort the people about what we believe what we speak the power of the words now when we speak aligned to the word of God we have a high priest who is backing up those same words of faith those words of truth in the presence he is also Jesus is the apostle he is the high priest of my confession so I need to make the right come confession that's another encouragement uh he wants to give people that confess confess faith uh because Jesus is the high priest of your confession and then now he comes to this whole thing about Moses and Jesus so that he can establish that Jesus is greater so it's quite clear in what he has written there he says uh Christ Jesus who was faithful to him who appointed him so Jesus was faithful as Moses was also faithful in the work that God gave Moses but what is the difference the difference is he says you know when there is a house uh there is somebody who has built the house you know somebody who owns the house and there are there could be those who serve in the house so that is the distinction between Jesus and houses Jesus is the son of the house the house belongs to him or who is this house what is this house we know when Paul wrote to Timothy he said house of God the family of God those of us who believe and of course part of that family is also those who have gone on uh into eternity we who are alive believing those who have gone into eternity believing and also uh part of the house of God other heavenly beings so what we'll do is we will hold on up until here we will pause we will uh come back you know next class and continue from here put something please lead in a word of prayer as we please Heavenly Father we are grateful and thankful unto
