Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
- 0:07Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

- 2:11Speaker 2: and then of course those on the radio are listening
- 2:13Speaker 2: as well. Let's go ahead and pray. Father, we thank
- 2:16Speaker 2: you for the revelation of Jesus Christ. Please reveal him
- 2:20Speaker 2: in our lives and character today in Jesus name, I pray,
- 2:24Speaker 2: Amen and amen again the Revelation of Jesus. I'm going
- 2:30Speaker 2: to resist the urge to go into the Bible Book
- 2:34Speaker 2: of Revelation, and we're just going to pick up right
- 2:37Speaker 2: here where we left off yesterday in John chapter four,
- 2:41Speaker 2: beginning at verse sixteen. Okay, John chapter four and verse sixteen.
- 2:47Speaker 2: And he said, unto her, go call your husband and
- 2:51Speaker 2: come back here. So Jesus is now orchestrating one of
- 2:56Speaker 2: those mirror moments. It's an actual come to Jesus moment.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I hate when people say this most times because I'm like,
- 3:03Speaker 2: you're using his name in vain. But in this case,
- 3:06Speaker 2: it's reality. It's a come to Jesus moment. Go get
- 3:09Speaker 2: your husband and come back here. And the woman replied,
- 3:11Speaker 2: I have no husband. Aha. Jesus said to her, you
- 3:15Speaker 2: are right when you say I have no husband, for
- 3:19Speaker 2: you have had five husbands and the man you are
- 3:24Speaker 2: now with is not your husband. This you said truthfully.
- 3:29Speaker 2: I need you to do a math a math problem
- 3:32Speaker 2: with me today. I need you to count him out. Now,
- 3:36Speaker 2: he said, you have had five husbands? How many men
- 3:40Speaker 2: is that? I type it in the chat? How many
- 3:42Speaker 2: men is that five husbands. Okay, I'm showing it to
- 3:45Speaker 2: you on the screen, if you're watching me, if you're
- 3:47Speaker 2: on the radio, imagine it. I have five fingers up five.
- 3:49Speaker 2: That's five, and then there's one that's she's cohabitating with likely,
- 3:54Speaker 2: but she's with whatever that means that would be six.
- 3:58Speaker 2: So five plus one is six. The Bible teaches us
- 4:02Speaker 2: in the Book of Revelation that the six is the
- 4:05Speaker 2: number of a man that is six. It is incomplete.
- 4:09Speaker 2: It is an incomplete number. It's a human number. And
- 4:14Speaker 2: so she has an incomplete life, an incomplete relationship history.
- 4:19Speaker 2: She has an incomplete scenario where she is wanting to
- 4:22Speaker 2: be connected with God, but that process is incomplete. But
- 4:26Speaker 2: now I need you to type the number seven in
- 4:28Speaker 2: the chat. Just go ahead and just humor me for
- 4:31Speaker 2: a moment here and type a number seven into the chat.
- 4:35Speaker 2: And so Jesus is the seventh Man. Can I say
- 4:40Speaker 2: that again? Jesus is the seventh man. You see, those
- 4:45Speaker 2: relationships left her incomplete, those relationships left her broken. Those
- 4:50Speaker 2: relationships put her in a position where she had skeletons
- 4:54Speaker 2: in her closet, where she needed to be cleansed. And
- 4:57Speaker 2: then the seventh Man the seventh is a perfect number.
- 5:01Speaker 2: It is the number of completion. And Jesus Christ, the completer,
- 5:06Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, the perfect Man, Jesus, the one who is
- 5:11Speaker 2: God in the flesh, is now giving her an encounter
- 5:13Speaker 2: with himself. He is the seventh Man. And it is
- 5:16Speaker 2: at this moment now that she is being transformed. Aren't
- 5:20Speaker 2: you glad that God will orchestrate the situation to the
- 5:23Speaker 2: degree that you can be transformed? Brothers and sisters, The
- 5:27Speaker 2: Bible continues and continues.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Ah.
- 5:30Speaker 2: The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you're
- 5:33Speaker 2: a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain. There she
- 5:36Speaker 2: goes again back into the discussion. But Jesus is gonna
- 5:38Speaker 2: help around. Aha, worship in this mountain. But you people
- 5:43Speaker 2: say that the place where people must worship is Jerusalem.
- 5:46Speaker 2: And Jesus said then to her, believe me, woman, the
- 5:48Speaker 2: time is coming when you will worship the Father, neither
- 5:53Speaker 2: on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You see the argument
- 5:57Speaker 2: that Abraham's babies have been having and still today are having.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Jesus is blowing a hole right in that in that
- 6:04Speaker 2: argument and saying it is not Israel, it is not Palestine.
- 6:08Speaker 2: It is not the Jew. It is not the gentile,
- 6:11Speaker 2: It is not the Jew, it is not the Samaritan.
- 6:14Speaker 2: It is not this mountain, nor in the mountain in Jerusalem.
- 6:18Speaker 2: But you're going to do something very very special verse
- 6:21Speaker 2: twenty two. You people worship what you don't know. We
- 6:25Speaker 2: worship what we know, because salvation is from the jew.
- 6:28Speaker 2: So he's saying that the purview, the perspective that God
- 6:32Speaker 2: is now teaching is from the tradition that he had
- 6:35Speaker 2: given to the people of God, that came from Abraham's lawings.
- 6:39Speaker 2: And it says here twenty three. But a time is coming,
- 6:44Speaker 2: and now is here when the true worshipers will worship
- 6:48Speaker 2: the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father
- 6:53Speaker 2: seek such people to be his worshipers. That has always
- 6:57Speaker 2: been the reality God was teaching the true through his people,
- 7:02Speaker 2: the Jews. Yes, Jesus came through that line. Yes, but
- 7:06Speaker 2: that was not the end of the story. If you
- 7:08Speaker 2: thought that was the end of the story, you missed
- 7:10Speaker 2: something I read two days ago from the Book of Isaiah,
- 7:13Speaker 2: chapter fifty six, where God showed us that his truth
- 7:17Speaker 2: comes when people keep covenant with him. His truth comes
- 7:22Speaker 2: when you keep covenant with Him and he begins to
- 7:25Speaker 2: transform your life and your mind through Christ. The Bible
- 7:29Speaker 2: teaches us, once we are baptized into Christ, we now
- 7:33Speaker 2: become Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. And
- 7:38Speaker 2: I thank God. I thank God. That means he's not
- 7:41Speaker 2: leaving anybody out. It doesn't matter where you're from, It
- 7:44Speaker 2: doesn't matter who your mommy, your grandpa was. It doesn't
- 7:47Speaker 2: matter because those who have faith in God are now
- 7:51Speaker 2: children of God and worship God in spirit and in truth.
- 7:56Speaker 2: For the Father seeks such people to be his worshippers.
- 7:59Speaker 2: God God is a spirit, and the people who worship
- 8:03Speaker 2: him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Some
- 8:06Speaker 2: of us, brothers and sisters, have to come clean today.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I'm talking about on this thirtieth day of October in
- 8:14Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. We need to come clean today. Is
- 8:17Speaker 2: there something in your closet? Is if you open the closet,
- 8:20Speaker 2: like Jesus is knocking on the door of your closet,
- 8:23Speaker 2: He's knocking on the door up under your bed. He's
- 8:25Speaker 2: knocking on the door of that cellar that if you
- 8:28Speaker 2: pull it up out the ground, then you go down
- 8:30Speaker 2: in there and there's some secret thing in there. He
- 8:32Speaker 2: is saying that he wants you to open up the door.
- 8:35Speaker 2: In those secret skeletons that will drop out of that place.
- 8:39Speaker 2: We need you to identify and to say, God, I
- 8:42Speaker 2: can't do this anymore. Those secrets, those relationships, those activities,
- 8:48Speaker 2: those thoughts, the gossiping mindset, the pride, whatever it is
- 8:52Speaker 2: that is separating between you and God, it's in that closet.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Drag off the lock off of that door, Pull down
- 8:58Speaker 2: the door, and let God transform you today, and then
- 9:02Speaker 2: we can reason with God because he's reasonable. Can I
- 9:06Speaker 2: just say that again, when all of that mess is
- 9:09Speaker 2: in front of you and in front of Jesus. Now
- 9:12Speaker 2: he is reasonable, and so we can reason with God.
- 9:15Speaker 2: And Isaiah as we come to a swift close Isaiah,
- 9:17Speaker 2: chapter one and verse eighteen. I understand who he was
- 9:20Speaker 2: speaking to, But this is apropoet applies to all of us.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Come now, let us reason together, said the Lord. Though
- 9:27Speaker 2: your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white
- 9:30Speaker 2: as snow. Though they be read like crimson, they shall
- 9:34Speaker 2: be as woll. All of those skeletons in your closet,
- 9:39Speaker 2: bring them to Jesus, and he will cleanse you and
- 9:42Speaker 2: make you a new beginning now peace.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
