Echoes of Israel (Part 10) 5/2/25 - Ames Iowa - "Crisis In The Camp at Kadesh Barnea"

* Now, after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the covenant was passed down to 12 boys. Now, these boys went to Egypt. Let's read about that. We're going to read in Exodus chapter 2, verse 24. Now, these boys wound up in Egypt. When they got to Egypt, they forgot the covenant. That was 400 years old by now. They forgot it. * And they went into Egypt. Yah's people went into Egypt. When they went in, they knew about the covenant. But after 400 years of being in the church, they had lost all desire for the covenant. And while they were there, Pharaoh got very worried about them because they were growing so quickly. Because wasn't that one of the promises Yes. * in the covenant? That they would become a multitude, you couldn't number them. And now Yahweh is fulfilling the covenant even while they're in Egypt. Let's read Exodus 2 and 24. And God heard their groaning. Why don't we go above that, maybe to verse 22. And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom. For he said, "I have been a stranger in a strange land. * " And it came to pass in pro- in process of time that the king of Egypt died. All right. So, they're in Egypt, all 12 boys, the 12 tribes of Israel. They're in Egypt. And And now, at that point, they had been treated well by Pharaoh. But here comes another Pharaoh that knew not of their God. And all of a sudden that Pharaoh dies and read the rest of the story. * And the children of Israel sighted uh by reason of bondage and they cried and they and their cry came up to unto God NOW WHILE THEY WERE STUCK IN this religion You've better stay WITH ME TONIGHT. WHILE GOD'S COVENANT children had forgotten the covenant the covenant had not forgotten them. Amen. Amen. * AND HERE THEY ARE IN PHARAOH'S EGYPT and they had begun to think that they themselves were Egyptians. Hallelujah. They had forgotten the Sabbath day. YES. THEY HAD FORGOTTEN these things till Moses came and reminded them. In other words, they were children of the covenant and knew nothing of the covenant. Sounds like some people I know today that were children of the covenant but knew nothing of the covenant. * Oh, but listen. After Pharaoh died, read what they did. And God heard their groaning and God remembered his covenant with Abraham. Hold on. Yahweh remembered his covenant with Abraham. Listen to me. It was not the prayers of those people that affected God and made him move. Hallelujah. * It had nothing to do with them. Oh, hallelujah. Woo! But God had a friend named Abraham. Oh, yes, he did. The Bible said Abraham was the friend of God and the Bible said that they were bound in their churches. Knew not who they were. And as they begin to cry out for more, they knew something wasn't right. They had questions that no church could answer. * They They were scared. They They knew something wasn't settling right, but yet they were stuck. And they begin to cry out, "Lord, show me more." And all of a sudden their cry went up to Yahweh, and he remembered that these people were children of an old covenant. Hallelujah. I don't care how far you drift away from this covenant, it never drifts away from you. Amen. Amen. * Ever. Ever. Ever. Amen. Read, Elder. Tell us what happened. And God looked upon the children of Israel. And God had respect unto them. He had respect unto them. Why? Because they were children of the covenant. Read. That's it, Pastor. That's it? Why did he have respect unto them? Because Yahweh knew these people were not keeping Sabbath, but they were still children of the covenant. * They was going to church on Sunday. Well. They was not keeping the feast, but they received that the covenant was keeping them until they could keep the covenant. Come on, Pastor. Oh, yes. Amen. Oh, yes. Amen. The covenant was keeping them until they could keep the covenant. Oh, yes. * Oh, why? Because Yahweh never forgot this covenant he made with Abraham ever ever ever. Now, how was Yahweh going to answer their cry? Watch this. You I've been trying to put a story together for you tonight. I started with Elijah and told you that when he comes before the day of the Lord, he was going to turn the children back to the covenant. * Well, listen to me, children. I feel like preaching. Whenever whenever these these children of the covenant FORGOT THEIR IDENTITY, GOD FOUND A LITTLE BOY over in the desert by the name of Moses. Hallelujah. Yes, HE DID. AND MOSES WAS STANDING ON THE BACKSIDE OF A DESERT. HE was running from the law. He was He was He was the last person. * But what you don't understand, the covenant will always find a man to cry out and remind God's people OF THE COVENANT. GLORY. OH, I WISHED I HAD A VOICE. I WANT TO PREACH THIS TO YOU. HALLELUJAH. Over in the book of Exodus, right after Yahweh remembered, let's go to Exodus 3. Right after Yahweh remembered his covenant with Abraham, let's read what he did. * Exodus Exodus 3 and 1, read. Now, Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law. Now, Moses didn't even know who he was. But when God's got a covenant people, you might be out taking care of your father-in-law's sheep. I was taking care of my father-in-law's sheep over in Waveland. Brother Kendrick, my father-in-law. * I was serving him in his church on the backside of a desert. Say it, pastor. Say it. Woo, read, elder. The priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the backside of the desert and came to the backside was Moses doing? He was working for his father-in-law, who was his pastor. That's very important to understand. * Jethro was what? A priest. Moses was his what? Son-in-law. And Moses was helping Jethro with his church. Read it again, cuz that's exactly what it said. Read it again. Now, Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the backside of the desert and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. * to the mountain of God. Read. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of a fire um a fire out of the midst of the bush. And he looked, and behold First of all, Moses still knows nothing about God. He he knows nothing about the God of the covenant. Now, Jethro was serving some kind of God, his father-in-law was involved in some kind of religion. * Yes. I hope somebody would wake up and hear me tonight. Come on, pastor. Jethro was the preacher of some kind of religion. Well. And Moses was serving him until a moment in his life called him to a place he never expected to go. Right. Read. The bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, for the bush is not burnt. * It started with a miracle. I want you to think about what I'm going to tell you. Moses' ministry, which by the way is the same as Elijah's, and I'll explain that in a minute. He turned and saw a supernatural event. Something that happened instantly, miraculously, unexpectedly. I know what that's like. * A 7-minute video was my burning bush. Something that happened instantly, miraculously, and unexplainably. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. Help me, Lord. I'm going to start over. Moses was helping his father-in-law at his church. Yes. It's the mouth of the Mississippi. Come on now. What name? And then all of a sudden, something instant changed everything. * Something instant in my life changed everything. A 7-minute video that literally was like that burning bush. You can't explain how it happened. Amen. Amen. Glory to God. Oh, I wish the people would understand what God is doing in this hour because, brothers and sisters, everything that has been will be again. Yes. * Tell us what happened after that. After the burning bush, read. And And when the Lord saw that he that he turned aside to see, God called unto him When Yahweh saw that he would turn aside to recognize the miracle. Then what did he do? Read. out of the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses." And he said, "Here am I. * " All Hallelujah. God is looking for I wrote a song, if you if you need a broken vessel to use, here I am. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. Hallelujah. He Moses said, "Here I am." at this miracle moment. Oh God, help me preach this tonight. Moses said, "I'm standing at a miracle Forget the bush. Your carnal mind sees a burning bush. * Yes. Go beyond it. It's a miracle moment. Whether it's a burning bush or a flaming internet. It's a moment. You understand? It's a moment when God is getting ready to do something for His people. Amen. Read. And he said, "Draw not Draw not hither. Put off thy shoes from thy feet. I want you to know and reverence this moment. * I'll never forget the day of my viral video. The reverential fear that I got because I knew that God was changing my life forever. On that day, I called my wife scared to death. I knew that I had just gotten called up in a a Hallelujah. Oh yes, I knew. Holy ground. I knew I was on holy ground. On holy time, holy kairos moment. And that's where Moses was. * But remember why. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. MOST people don't realize Exodus chapter 3 happens right after the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL CRY OUT for more. Hallelujah. And they were children OF THE COVENANT THE WHOLE TIME. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WAS CRYING OUT FOR. AND THEN THE NEXT CHAPTER GOD SAYS, "OKAY, YOU'RE NOT COVENANT CHILDREN, BUT GUESS WHAT? I NEED a man. Hallelujah. * " I need a man. And he said, "I'll go find one that's serving his father-in-law in another religion. Hallelujah." And I'll create a miracle moment that will transform and will answer the prayer of all those people ON ZOOM RIGHT NOW THAT WAS CRYING OUT FOR MORE. I SEE YOU ELDER CONNELLY. ELDER CONNELLY KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT Yahweh is saying right now. * Read. For the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover, he said, "I am the God of thy father." Hold on. Here we go. Moses, I'm not just God. I want to introduce you Moses to the fathers. I want to put the fathers in your heart, Moses. What fathers you you talking about? My father? No. Moses, you see you got put down a river. * You was an abandoned child, Moses. For a reason. Your own mother didn't want nothing to do with you. She sent you away. She couldn't take care of you, Moses. I hope somebody's hearing me cuz that's my life. Put you down a river and sent you to a foster home. Moses, that's my testimony. Hallelujah. * And he said, "Moses, the first thing I've got to do is I'm going to hold I got to teach you who YOUR FATHER IS. AND IT'S NOT PHARAOH. The house you've lived in, the religion you grew up in, THAT'S NOT YOUR FATHER, MOSES. HE SAID, "Your father, I am the God of thy father, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He said, "I've got to introduce you to your true identity as an Israelite. * " ANYBODY ON Zoom hearing me tonight? Let me see your hands. Hallelujah. You look beautiful out there. Notice he didn't introduce himself as God. He introduced the fathers. I've come to tell you when God's getting ready to do something in your life, he will send someone to introduce you to Abraham and the covenant of Abraham. * Finish reading that, Elder. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt. And I have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. And I come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians. * I come down to deliver the covenant children out of the hand of the churches they grew up in. I'm coming to deliver them. Now, what's funny to me, Elder Faulkner, Yahweh never came. BUT HE CAME. BUT HE CAME, DIDN'T HE? YES, HE CAME. HE SAID, I'M COMING BECAUSE I'm coming to deliver my children back to the fathers. Yes, sir. Read. And to bring them up out of the land unto a good land and a and a large, and a land flowing with milk and honey. * I'm not bringing them to heaven. I'm bringing them back Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What is he telling him now? That was the covenant of Abraham, a land. Do you see that? The first THING YAHWEH INTRODUCES MOSES TO IS COVENANT TERMINOLOGY. AMEN. Because the covenant of Abraham is unconditional. Completely unconditional. * There's no conditions. It's going to happen no matter what. And when he called Moses out, the first thing he started talking to him about was the millennial reign. The land, if you will. Hallelujah. The kingdom. The kingdom. You'll know you're hearing the voice of Moses and Elijah when they're telling you about the land. * Hallelujah. When they're telling you about the inheritance of the sons of the covenant. Whoo, glory to God. Not when they're selling you pie in the sky. Oh, no. They're selling you the covenant that you were created for. Read for me elder. Unto the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites. * Now therefore behold the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppressed them. Right. Come now therefore and I will send thee unto Pharaoh. I'm going to send you into that religious system. Read. that thou mayest bring forth MY PEOPLE THE ALL I WANT YOU TO DO, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO AND DESTROY that religion. * Don't go and burn Pharaoh's HOUSE DOWN. HALLELUJAH. HE SAID, "I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO AND RUN PHARAOH DOWN." Come on pastor. All I want you to do is find the people of that covenant. Those lost those children that are lost THEIR IDENTITY. GO FIND THEM. YES. READ. out of Egypt and Moses said unto God Here's what Moses said to y'all. Read. * Who am I that I should go into Pharaoh and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? Who am I that you would use me for this moment? Read. And he said, "Certainly I will be thee Certainly I will be with thee." I will be with you. And and this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent thee. * When thou has brought me brought forth the people of out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. Yeah, what what now now you know why Mount Sinai. This is all happening at Mount Sinai. Now if you wondered why they stopped at Mount Sinai after leaving Egypt cuz that's where Moses' ministry started was there on Mount Horeb, which is Mount Sinai. * He said, "You're going to go get the people, and you're going to bring them to the spot where I revealed your identity to you first." Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh, yes. You're going to bring them to the spot where you started the message that I gave you. Read, elder. And Moses said unto God, "Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel Now, here's the problem, Yahweh. * When I come to these people, there's going to be a problem. Read. And say, and shall say unto them, "The God of your fathers has sent me unto you." And they shall say to me, "What is his name? What shall I say unto them?" And God Hold on. Here's how you'll Here's how I'll know that I found the covenant people. * They'll want to know the name. They'll say, "What's this God's name?" When you hear Moses, he'll always come telling you the true name. He'll always bring you to the name, always. Read. And God said unto Moses, "I am that I am." First of all, I wished I had time today. If I had my slides up, I was going to show you I am that I am is the same root verb as Yahweh. * I am that I am is Yahweh. I am that I am, I had it all printed out for you to show you that he said he was introducing himself as the God that is self-existing. When you have come out of Egypt, one of the first things that will happen to you is his name. You will know his name. Amen. You won't be satisfied with a word like God. * Oh, no. You'll want to know the name. Who is my father? Who is the father of my father, Abraham? Amen. Read. Thus shalt Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I am hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover to unto Moses, Thou Thou shalt Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob. * He is always the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Why? Take those names out, he's always the God of what? Covenant. Now, that, brothers and sisters, was how the children of the unconditional covenant was found. I want to make something very plain to you tonight. There are two covenants. Abraham and the Mosaic covenant. * Abraham's covenant is unconditional. It's going to happen. And I'm going to answer some questions tonight that is probably lodged in the back of your mind. Let's see if you've ever asked this question since coming to my ministry. If we're all the lost tribes of Israel, and we all come from the lost tribes, then why are we not all training for reigning? Where are they at? Why is it just us? I mean, think about it. * Your brothers and sisters in your same bloodline. Predestination. Why are they not here? That's a question that always plagued my mind. If we're all the lost tribes of Israel, then why are we not all found? You were woke up first. Why are we not all found? But But, even though we're woke up first, there is a plan for Israel that you've got to understand, and I'm going to show you tonight that the the the covenant of Abraham is unconditional. * But, the covenant of Moses and the children of Israel is conditional, and we're going to go over that tonight and help you understand it. Let's go to Exodus 19. 19 1 through 6, and let's read that, children. Exodus 19:1-6. Now, all of the other covenant of Abraham, there was no conditions on those covenants. In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt. * All right, they've been out of Egypt how long? 3 months. Read. The same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. Now, they're coming back to where? Sinai. Where did it all start? Full circle. Read. For they were departed from Rephidim and were come into the desert of Sinai and had pitched in the wilderness, and there Israel camped before the mount. * And Moses went up into God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, "Thou Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob unto the children of Israel, Ye You seen what I did to the uh to the Egyptians and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you out unto myself. In other words, I kept my covenant with your father Abraham. I found you. * I brought you out. I told him after 400 years I would bring you out. That was part of the covenant. I did my I did what I said I would do. Read. Now therefore, if you will obey MY VOICE INDEED. NOW THEREFORE, we're going to enter into a second covenant. The first covenant is still active. It never goes away. It was forever. * Now, we're not dealing with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Now, we're dealing with the children of Work with me. Isaac and Jacob. All right? They have a different covenant than Abraham had. Abraham's covenant had no condition. But the children are not going to participate necessarily in Abraham's covenant. There'll be a few that will. * Now, I'll show you why and how. Amen. It's going to get good here tonight. I promise you that. All right? Amen. If you want to be in the covenant, the covenant never goes away, but it doesn't mean you're going TO ALIGN WITH THE COVENANT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE Abraham's child. Oh, well. Watch this now. * Oh, I'm What did Yeshua tell the Jews? They said, "WE'RE ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN." WHAT DID HE SAY? "IF YOU REALLY WERE, YOU WOULD LOVE ME. AMEN. BECAUSE YOU WOULD ALIGN WITH ABRAHAM'S COVENANT. AMEN. AMEN. Let's read. And keep my covenant, then you shall be A PARTICULAR TREASURE. IF you will do what I'm fixing to demand you to do, walk in the covenant lifestyle. * If you will do that, here's my end of the bargain. Read. I will make you what? Read that first one again. Now, therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure. Number one, you will be my treasure. My segulah. You will be my possession. That's a covenant. * If Now, hold on. I thought we already had a covenant with Abraham for all the children of Abraham. Oh, we do. But it's just like right now, uh brother uh Ballenger, if if I told you that I was going to give you a $500,000 check. That's unconditional. You don't have to do anything. That's my grace. That's my covenant. * I'm giving you $500,000. Okay? Unconditional. I didn't say if you're good, I'll do it. I didn't say if you clean the car, I'll do it. I said, "I'm giving it to you." Now, that covenant is good forever. ALL I NEED YOU to do, brother Ballenger, is to get in your car, drive down to your mailbox, and pull the check out, open the envelope, and now you can walk in the covenant. Amen. * The covenant is forever. But the children of Israel have to enter in to the Abrahamic covenant by a certain way. And it's called the covenant lifestyle. Amen. The covenant is out there for all of the lost tribes, your brothers and sisters. Watch this. They They could get this covenant of Abraham ruling and being a great nation and ruling the world. * That That's a covenant made for them. However, the children of Israel, they have to find and come into that covenant. Amen. The covenant is It's always going to be there for the children of Abraham. But But Abraham's children have to do something. Let's read about what they have to do. If you will do all I command you, you will be my possession. * I thought I was your possession because I was Abraham's child. Oh. Abraham didn't have to do anything. But the children have to be turned back to the way Abraham did it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. See, Abraham, the Bible said, walked with God. He was a friend of God. Yes, sir. And therefore, if you DESIRE ABRAHAM'S COVENANT, even if you're his descendant, Moses said to the children, you must obey as Abraham obeyed. * Read. unto me above all people for ALL THE I WILL MAKE YOU ABOVE ALL PEOPLE. But what I'm a little confused. I thought I was already above all people because I was Abraham's descendant. No, no, no. You can be. If you do. But you must come into the lifestyle Yes, sir. that Abraham lived. Amen. Amen. Called the narrow way. * Amen. It's called the covenant way. Hallelujah. Read. Oh. I'll make you my possession. Read. And you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests. AND HERE'S WHAT ELSE I'LL DO. I will make you the priesthood if you'll obey me. Now, what if you don't obey me even if I'm Abraham's child? No, no, no. * There's another covenant for the children. And that Mosaic covenant, now I will make you a kingdom of priests like I always wanted to do. If Somebody say if. If. you will obey me. Oh, yes. Read. and a holy nation. And I will make you a holy nation. Read. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. And Moses came and called for the elders of the people and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord had commanded him. * He told them everything Yahweh commanded him. Read. And all the people answered WITH AND ALL THE ISRAELITES all the descendants OF ABRAHAM SAID THESE WORDS, "AMEN, PASTOR." YES. YES. AMEN. And yet none of them made it in. Oh, mercy. No, you need to think about this. Every one of them said at the feast of Shavuot when they read their vows, "I'll never leave this way. * Everything you have said, Yahweh, we say yes to." You see, that was their wedding day. Where do you think the wedding ritual of I do comes from? That was the FIRST WEDDING BETWEEN YAHWEH AND ISRAEL, AND THE BRIDE SAID, "I do." Amen. Amen. But the problem is she didn't. And she was a divorced woman because of that, even though she's Abraham's children and part of the Abrahamic covenant. * Come on now. Woo! Help me, Holy Ghost. She's part of the Abrahamic covenant, but she was a divorced God divorced her and put her away. By the way, that was you that he divorced and put away. Hallelujah. Oh my God. If anybody here don't believe in divorce and remarriage, then you got a problem with your own God. Because he's divorced. * Put his wife away because she said, "I do," but she didn't. Wow. Wow. Wow. Glory to God. She said, "I'll obey." Any man that's got a wife that won't obey him, you can put her away. Absolutely. Right? Why? The Bible said in that and when you made that vow, you vowed to obey your husband. Oh, yes. * Oh, it's tight, but people don't like this kind of preaching. You know why? They They grew up in this world of of Christianity that don't preach anything. The Bible said the wife is to obey her husband. Folks, you can't go around that. It's word. Thank you. BECAUSE WHY? YOU ARE THE SYMBOL, MA'AM, of Israel and you cannot do like she did THAT SAID, "I DO. I WILL OBEY. * " That lasted about 3 months. Brothers and sisters, Yahweh is calling his people. When you married this man, you're to obey him. If that man leads you in the path of truth and righteousness, you are to OBEY YOUR HUSBAND. WHY? BECAUSE when you don't, you have broken the continuity of God's plan. If there's one thing Yahweh hates, it is rebellion. Teach, pastor. * He hates rebellion. He despises rebellion. And when he finds it in your heart, he'll send somebody to expose it. It'll always come out. You can't hide rebellion. You can't hide it. That's why I tell people, the evidence of the Holy Ghost is not speaking in tongues. It's always obedience. Hallelujah. It's the only thing Satan cannot mock. * The only thing he can't imitate. Nobody Obedience. in this room, nobody is able to obey. None of you. It goes against your very nature. But one day there's a little seed that drops in your mind called the Holy Ghost. And he begins to train you like we did our little puppy Thank you, Father. how to obey. It's not humanly possible. * Oh, but when another mind takes over it becomes him-possible. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now you men don't take that to the extreme. My wife and I, we discuss things and sometimes it gets heated and sometimes she has her opinion that's different than mine. That's all okay. There's nothing wrong with That's not disobedient. * That's called communication. Ain't nothing wrong with that. If you don't agree with what your husband's doing, you can tell him. Say you're stupid for doing it that way, but go ahead and do it. Go easy on us, pastor. Say you just did something dumb, but hey, you're the husband. Go ahead. Amen. Why? The buck has to stop somewhere. * It has to stop somewhere. You know how many stupid decisions I've done in my wife watched me do it telling me the whole time how stupid it was. But the buck has to stop somewhere. Why? God hates rebellion. Get it out of your heart. And here's what he said, "If you'll do it, if you'll get it out of your heart, I'll make you part of that Abrahamic covenant. * " Now I'm trying to come to a close. That's one. The right? What were the terms of the cup of the Mosaic Covenant? I'm not going to read it tonight, but you can read it later in Exodus 24 and Exodus 20 when he gave the 10 Commandments. He said, "If you'll keep these Commandments, I'll be the God of Abraham to you. * " That's right, pastor. Abraham came in unconditionally. You don't come in unconditionally. You have to become like Abraham. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. I'm not going to read Deuteronomy chapter 1 through chapter 4, but it's there that Moses reminds the people how important obedience is. Yes. Now, why did God choose Israel? I want to go and read Deuteronomy 4:37-38. * Why did God choose Israel? And let's break it down even further. Why did God choose the people in this room tonight and on that Zoom call? Why? I Why? Why did God choose you? Let's read about it. Deuteronomy 4:37-38. And because he loved thy father Because he loved Abraham. Listen to me, sister. * If anybody sitting in this room today, I'm going to tell you something. It's not because of his love for you. His love for the Covenant. Amen. That you happen to be born into. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He loved you, sister Heidi, not because of Heidi, because Heidi don't deserve any love from her father. I don't deserve any love. * If the things I've done in my life, I don't deserve His love. But you see, there's something called a covenant that He loves. Come on, man. And I happen to be born into that family. I'm a lost tribe member. And because of the covenant, He reached out and found me. And that's why He loves me, because He loved my father. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. * Now, I want to go to Deuteronomy 10:12 through 15 and see what Yahweh requires for you and I to come into the covenant. Now, this is why baptism is so important. Water baptism is your first sign of obedience. Let's read Deuteronomy 10:12 through 15. And now, Israel, what does the Lord thy God require of thee? Now, Israel, "I'm about to die," Moses said. * "I'm leaving. What does Yahweh require of the children of Abraham?" Let's find out. Read. But to fear the Lord thy Number one, you have to fear Yahweh. See, the covenant, the inheritance that you have, Canaan land, Yes. it's an unconditional inheritance. Amen. It's waiting for you. Amen. And it is never going away. * The millennial reign, the kingdom of God, it's coming, no matter whether you line up to it or not. That promise, unconditional. Amen. There will be a land, there will be all of this inheritance it's coming. But here's what Yahweh requires of you. Fear Yahweh. Read. To walk IN HIS WAYS. WALK in his ways. Sabbath is his way. * Feast days are his ways. Tithing is his ways. Loving your brother is his way. Loving him. WALK IN THE WAY. YES. READ. AND TO LOVE HIM. LOVE HIM. READ. And to SERVE THE LORD. SERVE HIM. THY GOD with all thy heart and with all thy soul. Through verse 15. To keep the commandments Keep his commandments. Read. Of the Lord and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good. * Somebody say the inheritance is unconditional. But participation in the inheritance is conditional. The inheritance, it's there. It's yours. All he needs you to do is drive down to the mailbox. And receive the inheritance by meeting the condition of obedience. That's why elder water baptism is so very important. * That is your first walk down to the mailbox. Every day when you pray that's a step in his ways. You're participating in the conditions of this covenant. Beloved and sisters, hear me today. When you hear the voice of Elijah, he's coming for one reason, to tell you about the inheritance and how you can participate in the inheritance. Amen. * Amen. by meeting the conditions. We're not talking about salvation, that's free. Yes. No, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE INHERITANCE of Abraham. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. AND NOW, brothers and sisters, I want to show you something very important. In the book of Acts chapter 2, now this is going to all make sense to you. * Go to the book of Acts chapter 2. Oh, thank God for the Holy Ghost. Acts chapter 2, let's start at verse 30. Acts chapter 2, verse 37. 1 second. Acts chapter 2, verse 37. Now, when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Now, hold on. * They heard the gospel of the inheritance. Now, these are all Jewish people. What do you mean, "What must we do?" You're children of Abraham and you're in the covenant. So, why would you have to do? Since you're not hearing what I'm saying, I'll try it again. These are Jewish people, Abraham's physical children. They have an inheritance from the Abrahamic covenant, right? Right. * Evidently, they heard a message that told them the inheritance is unconditional. But participation is conditional. Amen. And they were pricked in their heart and said, "Well, what must we do?" Let's read. Verse 38. Then Peter said unto them, He said, "There is some things you have to do. Number one, what?" Repent. Let's change that word. * That's a horrible word. It's not understood. Turn around. Let's break it down even further. If you want to participate in this free gift, Holy Ghost is free. But it comes with conditions. If you want it, you have to stop breaking the commandments. You have to start keeping Shabbat. You have to begin to keep the commandments as they're written. * Pastor ain't don't say that. What do you think repent means? Well. The Bible said to repent is to turn around and quit sinning. What is sin according to the Bible? The Bible said sin is the transgression of the law, breaking the commandments. Right. So let's see what Peter said. They said, "What must we do?" He said, "You must stop breaking the commandments. * " And then, we're going back to what Moses said. We're going through everything Moses said. And then, you have to prove that you love him by what? Read. And be baptized. Every one of you. You got to be baptized to come into this covenant. We're not just putting you in the water, we're putting you in the house of Israel, in the covenant of Abraham. * We're bringing We're turning you back to the fathers. YOU MUST REPENT. Stop waking up. AND THEN YOU GOT TO GO A STEP FURTHER. YOU'VE GOT TO BE CIRCUMCISED BECAUSE WATER BAPTISM IS YOUR CIRCUMCISION. Because what do we leave in the water? The foreskin or the old skin? Help us, Holy Ghost. You've got to prove How did you come into the covenant? Bless you, darling. * How did you come into the covenant? How did you do it? In the Old Testament, circumcision. That's why water baptism is your circumcision. It'll bring you It'll turn your heart back to the fathers. To the Abrahamic faith. I know I'm going a long time tonight, but I got to get this out. Hallelujah. Read Now, watch this. Read. * In the name of Yeshua Hamashiach for the You cannot be baptized in the Trinity title. He said you must be baptized in the name of Yeshua, the Son of God. Now, if you don't, you just proved you're not obedient. Well, pastor, it doesn't matter. I'll just be back I'm going to go down to the church, let them baptize me. * Let me tell you, baby, all they did was got you wet. You didn't get baptized. That's it. If you're going to be baptized, you're going to walk in his ways, and one of them is to be baptized in the name right, man. of Yeshua the Messiah. Amen. Amen. And when that happens, what's going to happen? It's for the what? Read. of the sin. * It is for THE PUTTING AWAY of your commandment-breaking, your foreskin. That skin that always gets in your way. I listen to what I'm teaching you now. I'm going deep. You better hear me. There's something that always comes first, and it's your flesh. That's right. If you want in this covenant, cut it off. Cut it off. * In the name of Yeshua the Messiah. Hallelujah. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. And then, then you can come into the covenant. And then you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Why? Because the Bible says the Holy Ghost is given to those that obey him. Amen. Let me tell you something. * If I baptize you, you going to get the Holy Ghost. I don't care if you come up standing dead still or shouting in the water. You got the Holy Ghost. You understand? WHY? IT'S BY FAITH. AMEN. The greatest trick the devil ever did was to make you think you got the Holy Ghost because of emotions or because of a response. No, no, no. * If I put you in the water and you come up standing dead still, you got as much Holy Ghost as some sister shouting her hair down. Well. Oh, YES. OH, YES. WHY? IT'S IN THE WORD. IF YOU DO THIS, you're in the covenant. Amen, pastor. Hallelujah, that's the conditions. Hallelujah, THAT'S GOING TO THE MAILBOX. YES. HALLELUJAH. READ. * For the promises OF FOR THE PROMISE, WAIT A MINUTE. NO, NO, TAKE THAT WORD. SEE, that's what messes people up. They think that says promise. That should say what? The covenant. Yes. What is a covenant? A promise. Promise. If you only erase promise and put covenant for the covenant. What covenant? Of Abraham. Yes. * Now, listen to who this covenant is for. Read carefully. It's for you. Who is that? The Jewish people that were standing there that day. And the And to your seed. children. The what? The children. The children. Where did we start THIS LESSON OFF TONIGHT? Teach your children. THE DESCENDANTS OF Abraham Yes. * are the children. Yes. This covenant is not for a gentile. No. This covenant is for the children of the covenant. And listen carefully, and specifically the next line. For those children that are what? THE FATHER. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. THE PEOPLE ON Zoom are asleep, I'm watching them. I see you out there, Obama. Hallelujah. * Hallelujah. He's staying with me. Listen, did you not see that? The covenant is not for all men. It is only for the lost tribes That's right. of the house of Israel. Amen. That's why the Holy Ghost is not given to all men today. Because the covenant is only for the physical descendants of Abraham. Now, granted, they're scattered all over the world. Yes, sir. * But now, pastor, the children that are afar off, hold on. What is Elijah coming to do? To find the children and turn the children back. Do you understand? To the covenant. Oh my God, this is deeper than you realize. Elijah is going to come and he's going to find those far off children Yes, sir. that didn't know who they were, bring them back to THE COVENANT THROUGH WATER BAPTISM. * HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. FROM ZION. Not one Gentile is that for. Not one. It's only for the children. Yes. You can go back to Deuteronomy and find the children. It's the children of Abraham. Hallelujah. But now, pastor, if that's the case, then why don't ALL OF ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN have the Holy Ghost? Because of the next line. * FOR ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF, but not every one of them. As many Even as many AS THE LORD OUR GOD SHALL CALL. BUT AS MANY AS OUR GOD SHALL CALL. HALLELUJAH. HE'S NOT CALLING ALL OF THEM RIGHT NOW. But those that he are, they'll wind up in Iowa in a little hotel conference room. Amen. He will call those. AMEN. ALL RIGHT. * BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE CHILDREN are when you read the book of Acts, you think it's talking about just little children. No, it's the children of the covenant. Amen. And not all of them. But as many of them Yes. as he shall call. As he called. And then he says, "Many of them will be called." Yes. But then out of those many only a few will be chosen. Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. * Only a few will finish the race. Only a few. Oh, help me, Holy Ghost. Now, I'm closing with this. I want you to hear what I'm about to say. I'm closing. Hallelujah. They stayed in the covenant for several weeks. Now, I want you to hear the echoes of Israel. Now, here they are at Sinai. They stayed at Mount Sinai for 1 year. * Moses taught them in a Zoom class. Come on, pastor. For hours he taught Come on, pastor. For hours he taught them. 6 7 8 hours at a time, Moses taught them. For 1 solid year they were in his Zoom class at Mount Sinai. He told them about Abraham, the covenant, and he taught them how to remember the Sabbath day and to keep it holy. * He taught them the FEAST DAY. HE TAUGHT THEM ALL OF THESE THINGS. COME ON, PASTOR. For 1 solid year and then they left Sinai started journeying through the wilderness. He prepared them with the law, the tabernacle, and the teacher. He was organized. Listen carefully. For 1 year, he organized the ministry. For 1 year, he was the only one. * He began to organize the ministry with elders, over thousands, regions, states, districts. He organized it. While he was there at Horeb, he received the law, and then he got a divine order after he had trained them for 1 year. Let's read that. Deuteronomy 1:6. I'm almost finished, children. I know the hour's late. * But I'm feeding you. Hallelujah. This is good, pastor. Deuteronomy 1:6. Let's read it. The Lord our God speak unto us in Horeb, saying, We were at the Zoom class. Horeb. Moses' ministry. It was a one-man show. For a year, I hope you're hearing me. Come on, PASTOR. HE TAUGHT THEM. And then, God told him to organize it, structure it, set it in place, and then he got an order from the Lord. Let's read. * You have dwelt long enough in this mount. You have dwelt long enough at this mountain, which is the mountain of Pentecost. Come on. Sinai was Pentecost. He said, "You have hung around these shouting and dancing churches, and everybody getting a hoop adaba goob adaba longer you you have been playing these tongue talking games. * You have prophesied to one another. YOU HAVE DONE YOU HAVE YOU BEEN HERE. LONG ENOUGH. Preach pastor. It's time to head toward the promise of the covenant. Canaan land. Yes. Millennial reign, the kingdom of God on earth. It's time TO GROW UP. PAST SOMEBODY having to lay a hands on you. Say it pastor. IT'S TIME TO GROW UP. * SOMEBODY HAVING TO GIVE YOU A WORD. YES. I'VE GOT I there's going to be a people IN THE LAST DAY THAT'S SO FULL OF THE word they don't need a word. Hallelujah. They are the word. Hallelujah. He said now read the rest of it. Turn you. Turn. And what? Take your journey. Take the journey. OH, SHOUT. SHONDALA BABA. TAKE THE JOURNEY. YES. * WHAT JOURNEY? OH, I'm fixing to send you on a journey. What journey? Oh, you've been in this zoom class listening to all this Mazzaroth teaching and all. You've been feeding yourself at this mountain. But now we're about to find out if you heard anything. It's time to take the journey now. Oh, it's time to go out in the wilderness now. * LISTEN, TAKE YOUR JOURNEY. READ. And go to the mount of the Amorites. And go among your enemies. Read. And into all the places I did unto Go to the places on your way to the kingdom. It's time to take your journey from Pentecost. It's time to get out of your Pentecostal experience and start moving into your tabernacle experience. * Amen. It's time to take your journey. It's time to take YOUR JOURNEY. IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO FINALLY arrive Yes. at where I want you to be. This was a divine transition point. Yahweh had not delivered Israel to wander around in circles, but to move into the inheritance of the covenant. Amen. Amen. Well, they left and they got to a place right on the edge of the kingdom of God. * Called Kadesh-barnea. Two weeks after they left Pentecost to take their journey. Here they are. Kadesh-barnea. So close. Yet so far. SO CLOSE. THEY BROUGHT ALL THEIR knowledge with them. What Moses had taught them for a year in the Zoom class. Here they are on their way to becoming kings and priests, to becoming everything Moses had encouraged THEM TO BECOME. * NOW TAKE YOUR JOURNEY AND BECOME THAT. And so THEY COME TO KADESH-BARNEA. AND WHEN THEY GOT there the time for waiting had ended. The path was hard and long. It wasn't an easy journey. Well, I'm not going to read all these verses. But when they got three days into Kadesh-barnea there were some people with them called the mixed multitude. * Cares among the wheat. They like to say that they was part of the movement. But in three days after they got there, the mixed multitude, not the true Israelites, but the mixed multitude began to murmur and complain. Now, Moses had told them, "Now, don't murmur and complain." They had been in for a year. * He told them, "Don't listen to gossip. Don't go to things and get involved in THE HE HAD TAUGHT THEM, "NOW, TAKE YOUR JOURNEY AND SEE IF WHAT YOU WAS TAUGHT WILL last on your journey." It originated with murmuring. Listen to me. The seeds of rebellion are always sown in complaints. The wilderness that they were in does not create rebellion. * It reveals it. That's why he said, "Now, take your journey." Amen. Let's see if all this preaching you've been hearing will get you to the kingdom as a priest unto Yahweh. TAKE YOUR JOURNEY NOW. AND WHEN YOU GET THERE, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY. BUT WHAT I WANT TO SEE ON THE JOURNEY IS IF YOU learned anything. Amen, pastor. * I want to see if there's one complaining you about a piece of manna instead of garlics FROM EGYPT. I WANT TO SEE where you are on your journey. Rebellion always begins with a legitimate complaint. Those who stir dissatisfaction, They weaken the will of the people. Murmuring is spiritual sabotage. And then finally when they got to Kadesh-barnea, they were so close to the kingdom. * Suddenly Miriam and Aaron elders in the church. Evidently, they didn't learn nothing in the Zoom class of 1 year. Oh, no. Miriam and Aaron, they were elders in Moses' ministry. And because they were looking for something, they found something. They didn't like his wife. You know, she don't really speak to me. Well, you know, come to think of it, she ain't spoke to me, either. * Well, you know, she's a little That's how it starts. Miriam and Aaron, anointed by God. They were the next in position under Moses. But what happened was they begin to get critical of leadership. But that's not what they were guilty of. They were guilty of disloyalty to God himself. They weren't complaining about a man. * They was complaining about the God that sent the man that found the man on the backside of a desert and anointed the man to lead Miriam. And God said, "Oh, brother, they hadn't learned anything." Hallelujah. And you know what? The journey was proving it. Criticizing always appointed messenger is rebellion. It halts the journey and brings the judgment of God. * And you know what had to happen when Miriam and them did that. Listen to what happened. This is the sad part, children. I'm preaching better than any people hearing right now. Come on, okay. Do you know what happened when Miriam and them found complaints with their leader? For 7 days the whole ministry slowed down. * Yeah. Can you hear echoes tonight from Israel? Hallelujah. Go read the story. THEY SLOWED UP FOR 7 DAYS THE WORK STOPPED. THAT'S RIGHT, PASTOR. Because we had to take care of a complaint. They might could have made it into the kingdom within those 7 days. After less than 2 years, brothers, when they when you attack divine order, you stall divine progress. * Oh, that's a word, pastor. When you complain against divine order, you are stalling divine progress. Yeah. And it slows the whole ministry down. After less than 2 years from Egypt, they reached the edge of Canaan. And God said, "I've set the land before you. Go up. Possess it now." Amen. Moses has taught it to you. Yes, he did. * You You came on the journey. You're there. It's time for you to possess the dominion mandate. It's time for you to go in. But read for me Deuteronomy 1:22. Watch this carefully, children. Right as they were going in, here's what they said. 1:22 And you came near unto me, every one of you, and said, "We will send men before us, that they shall stretch out stretch us out the land, and bring us word again by what way they must go up. * " Did Yahweh tell them to send men before them? No. He said, "Go possess it." They said, "Okay, but we just want to send a committee out there first." Yes. Yeah, we just want to check it out first. We won't We We don't going to follow divine leadership. We We let you At our church, we always send a committee out first. Yes. I leave you with this tonight. * If you will hear my voice and harden not your heart, Hallelujah. you will possess the land. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Don't let it happen to you, children. No. Don't let it happen to you. Why? You're the children of the covenant. Yes. But there is one thing that Yahweh will never allow to participate in the covenant. * Rebellion. Somebody say any shape, form, or fashion. Any shape, form, or fashion. When's the last time you searched your heart? Yes. This morning. Amen. Search my heart, oh God. See if there's anything in there that would cause me not to rule and reign with you. Root everything out of me, oh Yah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. * That's unlike you. Oh, why? Because I want to finish this journey. Hallelujah. I've started out, and I've got to finish this race that I have begun. I come to tell you tonight you're not regular people. Amen. You're children of the covenant. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And the covenant is calling you tonight. Yeshua said these words. * He said, "Behold, Elijah will come Yes. and turn the hearts of the children. They'll want to walk in the covenant. You're living in that day. Let's all stand. Hallelujah.
