Transcript
- 0:13Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
- 0:14Speaker 1: This morning I'm reading from the Word of God, from the first book in the Bible, the book of Genesis, and the first chapter, the 26th verse onwards.
- 0:24Speaker 1: And then God said let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and of the birds of the sky and of the kettle, and over all earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
- 0:45Speaker 1: And then the Bible says God created man in his own image, in the image of God.
- 0:53Speaker 1: He created him male and female.
- 0:56Speaker 1: He created them, god blessed them and God said to them be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Genesis, the first chapter, the 26th verse onwards hallelujah.
- 1:21Speaker 1: It's creation, creation and God.
- 1:30Speaker 1: After creating the heavens and the earth, he created light and God separated the light from the darkness and the Bible says there was morning and there was evening and then he called dry land into existence, separating the waters and call it earth and sea.
- 1:58Speaker 1: You can go ahead and read the book of Genesis.
- 2:02Speaker 1: It's about creation.
- 2:07Speaker 1: The first half, of course, is about creation.
- 2:12Speaker 1: And then he called vegetation onto the earth, plants and trees, and then he created lights for the seasons on the planet and the stars in the sky, in the heavens.
- 2:30Speaker 1: And then he created sea creatures and birds of the air and beasts of the ground and everything that crawls.
- 2:38Speaker 1: And then God created man and woman, creating us in his image, in his likeness.
- 2:48Speaker 1: How beautiful.
- 2:50Speaker 1: And he calls out our dominion on this planet from the very beginning, over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle and everything that crawls.
- 3:07Speaker 1: And I want to tell you what happens.
- 3:13Speaker 1: And disobedience happens by man and woman, by eating of the forbidden fruit that was in the garden where God had placed them.
- 3:27Speaker 1: It was called the Garden of Eden, and because of that, man and woman are removed from the Garden of Eden.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And then the multiplication of man happened on the planet, as God had said.
- 3:48Speaker 1: And I want to tell you, in later times, the Bible says that with that multiplication of people, so did corruption and violence.
- 4:05Speaker 1: It's not me, it's in the Bible.
- 4:07Speaker 1: And God was not happy with man and he decides to remove man from the planet.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Oh, that's scary, isn't it?
- 4:19Speaker 1: So multiplication happens, and with that multiplication.
- 4:26Speaker 1: There is also corruption and violence, and it's mentioned in the Bible.
- 4:30Speaker 1: And God is not happy with man and he decides to remove them from the planet.
- 4:42Speaker 1: And there is this person called Noah at that time, and the Bible says he found favor with God.
- 4:47Speaker 1: He and his family found favor with God, and God tells him to build an ark.
- 4:55Speaker 1: And you know, at those times the Bible says that the plants used to be watered from a dew from the ground.
- 5:04Speaker 1: In other words, the planet had never seen rain.
- 5:08Speaker 1: And God tells Noah you build an ark and I'm going to flood the earth with water, rain from the heavens, and I will destroy everything.
- 5:19Speaker 1: And he tells him you and your family go into the ark and you take with you two of every kind of living creatures, male and female, and you will survive.
- 5:37Speaker 1: And the Bible says it rained for 40 days and 40 nights and though the earth had never seen rain before, it rained and it rained and it rained and all flesh on the planet was destroyed besides Noah, his family and the living creatures that he had set aside, that were on the ark, two of each, male and female, to repopulate the earth.
- 6:09Speaker 1: And the Bible says that when, after the rain.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Of course the water had to subside and Noah and his family come out of the ark.
- 6:26Speaker 1: And at the place where they get off the ark, noah makes an altar and makes a sacrifice to God of the animals that he had, the clean animals that he had.
- 6:36Speaker 1: The Bible talks about clean and unclean animals and I'm not going to get into that.
- 6:42Speaker 1: You can read the book of Genesis in your time and find that out.
- 6:47Speaker 1: But he takes a sacrifice for God and the Bible says the Lord smelled the soothing aroma.
- 6:56Speaker 1: He smells the soothing aroma of the sacrifice that Noah has made to him and he made an everlasting covenant to never again destroy flesh on the planet or any living creature through water.
- 7:16Speaker 1: And I'm reading it to you directly from the book of Genesis, the eight chapter, the 21st verse.
- 7:24Speaker 1: It says I will never again destroy every living thing as I have done.
- 7:29Speaker 1: While earth remains seed, time and harvest and cold and heat and summer and winter and day and night shall not cease, oh hallelujah.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Noah builds an altar, he makes a sacrifice and the Bible says the Lord smelled the soothing aroma of that sacrifice and makes an everlasting promise, an everlasting commitment, an everlasting covenant to never again destroy flesh on the planet and I will never again destroy every living thing as I have done.
- 8:10Speaker 1: While the earth remains seed, time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
- 8:19Speaker 1: And let me tell you, he sets the rainbow in the clouds as a sign of that commitment and that covenant between him and all of mankind and all flesh.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Oh, it's beautiful.
- 8:34Speaker 1: It's beautiful, but, yes, it's scary at the same time.
- 8:39Speaker 1: And no one is family.
- 8:45Speaker 1: They multiply on the earth, no one which is three sons and their wives.
- 8:53Speaker 1: And life on planet earth goes on.
- 8:54Speaker 1: And I want to tell you yet again, man and woman forget about God.
- 9:03Speaker 1: And another example of that is Sodom and Gomorrah, where God destroys Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone from the heavens.
- 9:14Speaker 1: And yet life goes on on the planet.
- 9:20Speaker 1: But then something different happens.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Something different happens.
- 9:28Speaker 1: He sends his son on the planet and John 16 says, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah.
- 10:01Speaker 1: So you see God of the old, where he gets angry and he destroys all flesh.
- 10:05Speaker 1: And he gets angry with Sodom and Gomorrah and he destroys it.
- 10:08Speaker 1: And then, oh, there might have been some form of a negotiation.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Right, bible says God is love.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Oh, he loves you and me.
- 10:15Speaker 1: But that's a topic for another day, and I can picture this negotiation going on.
- 10:22Speaker 1: And then there's a decision made and the decision is I will go down.
- 10:35Speaker 1: And John 16 is so beautifully said that for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, oh, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
- 10:48Speaker 1: For he did not send his son into the world to condemn it, but in fact for the world to be saved through him.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah.
- 11:04Speaker 1: God decided to no longer destroy mankind but instead save us forever through a sacrifice, through a huge sacrifice, the sacrifice of his son Jesus.
- 11:21Speaker 1: And Jesus no longer sacrificed to God at an altar, and God accepted it as a soothing aroma to him and made an everlasting covenant to never again destroy any flesh.
- 11:36Speaker 1: God this time makes an everlasting covenant with mankind, a blood covenant with mankind.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Oh, a blood covenant sealed with the blood of Jesus.
- 11:46Speaker 1: It's a covenant of everlasting life for those who believe in Jesus.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah.
- 11:59Speaker 1: God loves you and he makes an everlasting covenant with mankind A blood covenant, a heavy price on a cross through the blood of the sinless Lamb of God, jesus, his only son.
- 12:14Speaker 1: It's a covenant of everlasting life for anyone who believes in Jesus.
- 12:22Speaker 1: And let me tell you this beautiful day there never has been, there never will be anything bigger than what Jesus has done on that cross for you and me.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Never, there, never will be.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, thank you, jesus.
- 12:47Speaker 1: And Ephesians 1-2 says Grace to you and peace from God, our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, what a beautiful passage of scripture.
- 13:13Speaker 1: So you see, god made man and God tells us to subdued the planet, and he puts everything on the man that is on the planet.
- 13:28Speaker 1: And then he is unhappy with man and he destroys man and he lets the earth be repopulated by somebody who finds favor with Him, and that is Noah and His family.
- 13:44Speaker 1: And then again he is unhappy with the planet because there is and the Bible calls it out so clearly.
- 13:51Speaker 1: It calls it out as corruption and violence.
- 13:55Speaker 1: It calls it out so clearly.
- 13:57Speaker 1: But this time around he decides to make an everlasting covenant Let me not destroy the planet.
- 14:11Speaker 1: I have put my rainbow in the sky.
- 14:13Speaker 1: It is a covenant that I will never destroy mankind through flood and waters.
- 14:21Speaker 1: And this time I am making an ultimate, everlasting covenant with mankind and I will send my son and he will die on the cross for them and anyone, anyone, anyone who puts their faith in my son and that name, jesus, will have life everlasting.
- 14:46Speaker 1: That is my covenant to them, oh hallelujah.
- 14:51Speaker 1: And you know what?
- 14:51Speaker 1: That is not just it.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Ephesians 1-2 says Grace to you and peace from God, our Father and Jesus Christ, our Lord.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord, jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, oh hallelujah.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Meditate on the scripture, but I will give you the secret this morning.
- 15:21Speaker 1: He not just saved you eternally, because he loves you, he decided that let them just have a fabulous life while they are on this planet through my son, jesus because the scripture calls it out so beautifully who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, oh hallelujah, every spiritual blessing is ours after you put your faith in Jesus.
- 15:54Speaker 1: It is as clear as day and, as I said, you can meditate on Ephesians 1, 2 and 3.
- 16:00Speaker 1: And that is exactly what the scripture says, that not just has he saved us eternally, he has also turned all the spiritual blessings in the heavenly places towards you and me, in Jesus Christ.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah.
- 16:17Speaker 1: 2 Corinthians 1-20 says For all the promises of God in Him are yes and in Him are amen To the glory of God through us, oh hallelujah, every blessing in Jesus, every blessing in Jesus's name, is yeah and amen.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, it's yes and amen is what it means.
- 16:41Speaker 1: And it's just that simple now.
- 16:47Speaker 1: It's just that simple now.
- 16:49Speaker 1: You just put your complete faith in Jesus, and His new covenant and all the blessings in the heavenly places are yours.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Oh, how beautiful, how beautiful is that?
- 17:04Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, oh, he paid a heavy price on that cross for you and me.
- 17:10Speaker 1: He knew what he came down on this planet to do.
- 17:14Speaker 1: He came down to be the ultimate sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice for that new covenant between God and mankind, an everlasting covenant.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Nothing can change that covenant now.
- 17:38Speaker 1: It's sealed by the blood of Jesus.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah.
- 17:44Speaker 1: And not just that I already told you.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Because he loves you and me, he decided that them also have a brilliant life while they are on the planet.
- 17:52Speaker 1: All they have to do is put their faith in my Son, in Jesus, oh hallelujah, and every spiritual blessing, every spiritual blessing, oh, every spiritual blessing will be turned to you through Him, oh hallelujah.
- 18:12Speaker 1: And this beautiful morning, aligned with God's new covenant that he has made with you and me so many years before, when Jesus has come on this planet, I'm releasing a prophecy, and I prophesize I is 61 on you that says arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, for arise, shine, your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
- 18:47Speaker 1: For behold, darkness shall cover the earth and the deep darkness the people, but the Lord will arise over you and His glory will be seen upon you.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Oh, amen, oh hallelujah, oh, arise, it is your time, get up, hold your head high.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Oh, the Lord is here.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Hold your head high, oh, the Lord has risen over you and His glory is upon you.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah, amen.
- 19:22Speaker 1: As I-54-2 says, enlarge the place of your tent and stretch out your curtains of your dwellings.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Spare, not.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Lengthen your cords and strengthen your pegs, for you will spread abroad, to the right and to the left, and your descendants will possess nations and will resettle the desolate cities.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Amen, fear not, for you will not be put to shame and do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced, for you will forget the shame of the youth as a reproach of your widowhood.
- 20:01Speaker 1: You will remember no more, for your husband is your maker, whose name is the Lord of hosts, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, who is called the God of all the earth.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Oh, hallelujah, oh, spare not this beautiful morning.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Stretch your horizons, don't put God into a box.
- 20:22Speaker 1: This beautiful morning, Nothing can take away what he did on that cross for you.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Nothing can take away what he did on that cross for you, and every blessing in the heavenly places is now aligned to you.
- 20:40Speaker 1: It's the word of God, not me, that's saying this to you this morning.
- 20:43Speaker 1: And aligned with that word, here is the blessing.
- 20:49Speaker 1: So you just accept it in the name of Jesus, because the Bible also says everything is he and a man in Jesus's name.
- 20:56Speaker 1: That's it.
- 20:56Speaker 1: It's that simple.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Don't complicate it.
- 20:59Speaker 1: This morning, you go ahead and stretch for two horizons.
- 21:02Speaker 1: You have a bucket list.
- 21:03Speaker 1: You tear it up and make a new one and, believe me, it will be in a man in Jesus's name.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Give him new just to fill, and he will fill it.
- 21:11Speaker 1: He loves you.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Oh hallelujah, the smallest one will become a clan and the least one on mighty nation.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Amen.
- 21:20Speaker 1: I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
- 21:27Speaker 1: And this is for somebody here this morning.
- 21:29Speaker 1: This is for somebody who's listening.
- 21:30Speaker 1: You're not here by chance.
- 21:33Speaker 1: I don't know what your situation is, but this is for you.
- 21:37Speaker 1: And this is from 2nd Timothy, the first verse, the seventh, the first chapter, the seventh verse.
- 21:43Speaker 1: For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
- 21:50Speaker 1: This is God's word for you this morning.
- 21:54Speaker 1: It's God's word for you today.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Go everywhere you go in His boldness.
- 21:59Speaker 1: He's at your right hand, oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah.
- 22:08Speaker 1: There are a thank you for your beautiful presence that's on this platform.
- 22:11Speaker 1: I thank you for your beautiful presence that's in people's homes.
- 22:14Speaker 1: I thank you for what you did on that cross, lord for us.
- 22:18Speaker 1: I thank you, lord, that you have the name that's above all names.
- 22:25Speaker 1: I thank you, lord, that every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms is ours.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Through your name and through your blood, everything is ye in amen.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Through you, I thank you, lord, for the blessings of Isaiah 60 and the blessings of Isaiah 54 that will turn to your people, lord.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Lord, they will see it happen.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Align to your word that has been released this beautiful morning and they will see it come to life.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Lord, you're a beautiful God, you're an awesome God, and we thank you for what you've done for us.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Lord, in Jesus' name, I pray amen.
