  Speaker 1: I'll close with this. That's next week. I'll close with
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: this about this week. When Thummim, Urim and Thummim were
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: two indescribable, controversial pieces of equipment that lived in the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: high priest uniform. Put my high priest picture on the screen.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: The high priest's job was to go into the holies
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of holies. And when he went into the holies of holies,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: there was a garment that he wore. And the garment
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that he wore up until he got to the veil
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in the temple had 12 stones on it. The 12
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: stones are for the 12 tribes of Israel. Those stones
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: meant that God's people were on his heart, that we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: have a God who cares about his people. He doesn't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: just reign and rule without any concern for his people,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: but he carries his people on his heart. Inside what
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the priest is holding in his hand is incense, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the incense is for the prayers of the saints. And
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: so when you saw the priest coming in, with the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: censer and the incense on. He was carrying the prayers
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of the saints into the presence of the Lord to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: burn on the altar of incense a sweet-smelling savor to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: stop the stench of the burning flesh of the sacrifice
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that was made on the outside that we might be
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: able to come boldly into the presence of God. I'm
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: not going to go too deep into it, but I'm
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: going to play around with it just a minute so
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you can see something. What you cannot see on the priest,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: what you cannot see is... Put it back up where
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it goes. What you cannot see on the priest are
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: two stones called Urim and Thummim. Urim and Thummim were
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: hidden inside the bosom of the priest whenever there was
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a decision to be made. These were the prophetic stones
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that released the information. For the decision to be made.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And they are called Urim and Thummim. There is not
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: much written about it. How to use it. How it worked.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Some say they cast lots. Some say they threw it
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: this way. We don't know. But we do know that
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you did not see the high priest without those prophetic
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: stones on the inside. When I talk about a priest,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about worship. I'm talking about you are a
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: royal priesthood, a holy nation. You are a worshiper of God.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But if you function as a priest and you don't
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: function as a prophet and have something on the inside
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that is able to bring information to you, so that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you can understand God's purpose, then you're worshiping out the will,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: worshiping out the will, worshiping outside of the will of God,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: worshiping outside the purpose of God, running all over the church,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: taking up time. We can't do nothing for you, acting
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: all crazy in service. You can worship all day long
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: because you don't have discernment on the inside as to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: what is appropriate at any time or moment. Doesn't mean
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that you're not sincere in your worship, but you need
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Urim and Thummim on the inside so that not only
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: can you worship God, but you can make decisions. When
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: decisions needed to be made, the priest had the ability
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: through these two stones to be able to determine the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: will of God. What good is it to worship a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: God that you can't determine his will? What we are
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: talking about today goes beyond just the garments of the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: priest to the tumble and the urim that I have
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in my bosom so I can have two-way communication. I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: can receive a text. I can send a text. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: can download or upload. I can make a call or
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: receive a call. When we come next week, we're going
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to show you how God, when he fills you with
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, Put a command center down on the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: inside so that the mystery in you can be untangled.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: You've got some mysterious things that you've been through. Some
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: mysterious things that happened in your life. And people are
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: trying to figure you out and they cannot figure you out.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: So God sent his agents. down on the inside so
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: he could get down in your bosom and say the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: reason she keeps getting sick is because her heart is broken.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And if you will just say yes to God, he
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: begins to minister to you on the inside so that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you can be whole on the outside so that you
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: don't make the mistakes. But that's next Wednesday. Put your
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: hands together and give God some praise.
