They Died In Another - Prt 5: 8/16/25 - LIVE in Jacksonville, Florida. Pastor Shane Vaughn

* The book of Romans, we're going to start there today and we're going to pick up here where we left off. So, someone tell me why Yeshua had to die for the lost tribes of the house of Israel. >> have a priesthood. We did not have a priesthood. We didn't have anyone to apply the blood. The Jews had Now, now, let me clarify something. * Bring that in on my face just a little bit cuz I want people to hear me. We are not teaching that the Jews don't have to come through Messiah. >> They do. They do and they will when the house of David has been restored in a day. That will happen, okay? But until then, their debt against the covenant was cleared, but they're not allowed to enter the renewed covenant with that old debt just being paid, okay? Let me break down for you why he had to die just for us. * I want to break it down even further. I reached out to the man that's going to do our audio at the Feast of Tabernacles, the Brian that does all of our events. And I said, "Send me a quote cuz I only need you for one night this year instead of four." He said, "Well, I would send you a quote, but you still owe me $2,000 from Pentecost. * " And I said, "Well, I paid you 2,000." And he said, "Yes, but I had sent another invoice." And I said, "Well, I never got the invoice." Sure enough, I didn't get the invoice. So, we rescinded it. And so, I paid it. But, we couldn't move forward. Amen. We couldn't move into the new arrangement until we paid the debt of THE OLD ARRANGEMENT. * COME ON NOW. AND NOW NOW WE CAN ALL move forward. EVEN THE DOGS CAN MOVE FORWARD. WE CAN ALL move forward now. Why? Because the lost tribes has paid their debt. We died in another. We died in him. That debt to the old covenant is clear. He nailed that debt to the cross. That's all he nailed to the cross was that debt. * SO, NOW WITH THAT SAID, every man has to go through the blood of Christ. So, don't get it twisted what I'm teaching. All I'm teaching is why he only died for the lost tribes. Because the Jews had a priesthood. Here's why he did not die for the Gentiles. He knew they would HAVE A PRIESTHOOD. AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD. * THEY WOULD HAVE A PRIESTHOOD. THE JEWS HAD A PRIESTHOOD. THE ONLY ONES without a priesthood was us, the lost tribes of the house of Israel. Hallelujah. I'll clarify that Romans 2 and 14. Let's all turn there quickly. So, yes, every man has to come through the blood of Christ, every man. But they do it not for the blood. * They do it for the priesthood. Amen. Now, let's balance that out. There could be no priesthood were it not for the shedding of the blood. Okay? So, no one's demeaning the blood. We are positioning the blood where it belongs. We're teaching you the priesthood is what we're teaching you. Amen. I think I just cleared up half of your confusion just in that 5 minutes. * I don't want anybody to think we're not saying every man doesn't need the blood. The whole world has to have it. But they get it under a new covenant. All debts to the old covenant had to be paid first. Now that the debt's paid, I'll send you the bill for what's next. But a bill is not a debt until the service is performed. * Okay? Romans 2, read it. Verse 14. For when the Gentiles which have not the law, do by nature the things contained >> What did you just say? Did you just say the Gentiles, the dogs, do not have a law? So, if you do not have a law, you cannot break a law. And the Bible said Yeshua died only for the transgressions of the first law. * All right. I'm going to try to make it make sense for you today. Y'all Gentiles, now let me tell you how it works. It's very simple. The Gentiles had no blood covenant to break. They were never under Torah's death penalty. They're all under, listen, we're all under Adam's death sentence because we all die in Adam. * But we were under a covenant death sentence, which was which was which robbed us of our position as the sons of Yahweh, not just breathing creatures. SO WE VIOLATED THE COVENANT of marriage. Yes, sir. Now they never did. Ever. They did not need blood for that penalty. They needed access to the covenant which will take them out of the death sentence. * They didn't need blood. They needed access to the covenant that you and I now have access to. Okay? They don't get that access the same way you got it. You got it by whosoever. You got it by whoever was called. They get it because we were called. They get it from us. We got it from him. Amen? So the the the the way that the Gentiles will be saved is the exact same way that we were. They will hear the gospel. * They will turn from their dead works. Place their faith in the high priest, not the blood. In the high priest. There's a lot of people putting faith in the blood, but not the work of the high priest. And then they must enter the covenant by circumcision. Which is what? Water baptism. And once you bring the lamb and you circumcise your foreskin in the waters of baptism, you leave. * There you die in another. Oh, yes. Because the priest is at the water. And you're going to die when the priest says, "Your sins are forgiven in the name of Yeshua." Now you DIE IN THE YOU DIED IN THE PRIESTHOOD. We died in the lamb. The priesthood died in the lamb. Remember the priesthood would always sacrifice the lamb for themselves first. * Before they could bring forgiveness to everyone else. NOTICE WHAT THE PRIEST ALWAYS SAID, "Thy sins are forgiven you." Until the priesthood declares, "Thy sins are forgiven you." The blood is not enough. Oh, no, it's not. See these churches that are lying to you? Telling you just believe in your heart. First of all, the Bible said the devil believes. * And trembles. That's not enough. That will not get you into the covenant. Oh, no. It'll get you to the altar, but it won't get you into the covenant. What gets you into the covenant? It's the exact same pattern. Exact same pattern. You're the lamb. You walk down to the grave, which is the baptismal pool. * That's why when Philip the evangelist was out there, he saw an Ethiopian eunuch. And that Ethiopian was just reading the book of Isaiah, minding his business. Philip said, "You got to be baptized into the new covenant." You've got to be baptized into the new order. and that man said, "Hey, there's a puddle of water. Go put me in it right now. * " He got understood that he he had to do more than believe. Because believing in your head is not believing. I can believe I'm losing weight. Oh, I believe I'm losing my buttons IS POPPING OUT. I BELIEVE. OH, I BELIEVE. What diet are you on? WELL, I DON'T NEED A DIET. I BELIEVE. BUT YOU SEE WHEN I STARTED that intermittent diet last week and I done lost 8 lbs, NOW I BELIEVE. * OH, YES. I WENT to put on the same white shirt today I put on last weekend and I ran in my wife and I said, "Baby, they're not poking out. Look. Hallelujah. I BELIEVE." THEY ACTUALLY CLOSED. YOU DON'T SEE MY BELLY NOW. I BELIEVE. THAT'S WHEN YOU BELIEVE. YOU GOT TO DO SOMETHING. And then to my dear Pentecostal friends and Baptist friends that say, "Oh, no, there are no works involved. * " I say, "Okay." I said, "Okay, no works involved." Do you not know he was speaking to the Jews that refused to place their faith in Christ because they were sacrificing lambs at the temple and they didn't know that order is ending and now you can't do that work anymore. You must come to THE NEXT COVENANT. THAT'S ALL HE MEANT. * SO, THE NEXT TIME some good Baptist friend says, "It's only by faith." Say, "All right, what do I need to do to get saved?" Well, I'll tell you what you got to do. You got to confess with your mouth. Well, what what? That's a work. Is that not a work? >> That's a work. DID YOU JUST SAY I GOT TO CONFESS WITH MY MOUTH? >> That's a work. * BABY, THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S NOT FAITH, THAT'S A WORK. YOU GOT TO BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART, CONFESS WITH YOUR NOW, WE STOP AT BELIEVE, BUT WHEN YOU ADD THE confess Now, you're working now. That's moving, that's working. I got to do something. >> Yeah. Then you got to get baptized. Ain't it funny, ain't nobody got no problem with confessing? But when you mention baptism, "It ain't by works, LEST ANY MAN BOAST. * AND IT ain't by rebellion either, lest any MAN SHOULD BURN." THE BIBLE SAID, "HE THAT BELIEVETH and is baptized SHALL BE SAVED." WHY? YOU'VE GOT to follow the laid out pattern in Torah. The pattern, you bring the lamb or the boy, you circumcise him, you bring him to the priest, THE PRIEST LAYS HANDS AND SAYS, "THY sins be forgiven. * " Nothing changed. The new covenant is the old covenant. You enter the covenant by circumcision. Water baptism. And when you get there and I'll tell you something else. Why can you not go to the river and baptize yourself? There's no priest at the river. There's got to be an ordained member of the priesthood that's walking UNDER AUTHORITY AND IN AUTHORITY THAT BEARS THE name of Yahweh on their life. * Hallelujah. >> That Ethiopian eunuch didn't say, "Philip, go ahead. I'm going to go down there and baptize myself." He said, "Baptize me." >> Amen. That's right. That's I need A PRIEST. BUT BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN SO FOCUSED on the blood, Minister Larry, we have failed to see the work, and that's where I'm fixing to go to now, the work of the priesthood. * For 10 years, I've been talking about, "Let's do the work." And I declare unto you I didn't know what the work was until I learned they died in another. Now Yah is not just giving me the command to do the work, but what the work is. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. It's the work of the priesthood. Now, why is the priesthood so important? I'm going to teach you right now why the priesthood is so important. * It's more important than the blood. Why? Romans 5 and 10. For if For if when we were in enemies Uh-huh. we were reconciled to Yahweh >> Now, we, who is the we here? The lost tribes. We were reconciled. In other words, the debt was paid. The old covenant, and we're good with that covenant now. We've been reconciled back to Yahweh. * We've been scattered, wondered, but no more. But read what he says. We were reconciled to Yahweh by the death of his son. But somebody say, "Much more." >> Much more. Hold on now. Remember what I just said, the priesthood's more important than the blood and you went huh? Much more. Much more. Much more. Much more than the death of the son. * Much more than the death. Much more. WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS PRIESTHOOD. WE'RE SAVED NOT BECAUSE HE DIES, BUT BECAUSE HE LIVES AT THE right hand of the Father interceding for us. We're not saved by his death. We're reconciled. What does the word recompense mean? Brought back. You're paid. Yes, sir. You're paid. Reconcile the books. * If the books are a mess, now they're what? RECONCILED. THE DEATH straightened out the books. But get me, listen to this. But it's only the life. Watch this. That will move into you with the Ruach Kodesh and begin to turn you into the priesthood like he is in heaven. Much more. Much more. We're saved by his life. * The books are reconciled by the death. But we're not saved or delivered by his death. The word save is so-so. It just means delivered. We're not delivered into the priesthood by the death. We're delivered into the pattern son's life called the Holy Ghost that moves into the mind of a believer and brings us to the prayer room, and teaches us how to bring all men before Yahweh as it is in heaven, so on earth. * I'm going to be honest with you. I told the Lord something late last night. I I told my wife I'm going to bed. I couldn't take my my brain. And I never go to bed early. And I'm not God knows I say this humbly. I know how to search the internet. I know what's out there. And I'm telling you there is no group out there that understands why he died for the lost sheep. * And when he revealed that to me I said, "If we still have at least a decade to go my brain can't handle much more." Oh, I'm serious. We're getting such fast I mean, they died in another all the way I mean, IT IT'S COMING SO FAST. THERE IS A QUICKENING HAPPENING IN THE REVELATION OF THE WORD THAT LETS ME KNOW WE ARE THE LAST GENERATION BEFORE THE COMING OF OUR MESSIAH. * AND I STILL GOT TO TEACH THE SALVATION OF ANGELS. I HADN'T EVEN STARTED. THERE IS SO MUCH HAPPENING IN THE SPIRIT REALM. QUICKLY, suddenly Sister Ruth told me Sister Ruth said, "The Lord will place you in a suddenly ministry." She said, "Everything will She said, "Everything will happen for you suddenly." Suddenly. * They'll come suddenly, and they'll leave you suddenly. You're going to go through the suddenly anointing. When God said it was the second wave, I didn't know he'd been out the door. I thought he WAS COMING IN. WHY? BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE SUDDENLY'S. Everything's moving so quickly in the spirit. We are saved. We are delivered. * See, watch this. You read that word saved. Here's another example of what I've been teaching you about words. You think that means saved from hell. That's what you think, right? Saved. It's delivered. Oh, no. We're The books are settled by the death, but we are delivered into our calling, into our destiny as the kings and the priests by his indwelling life, that aeonian life, that that tomorrow's world today, that tomorrow's life today. * It flows through us, transforming us. Here's eternal life. I preached all that today to finally get to my sermon. AMEN. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. I TOLD YOU I WAS COMING TO preach today on the on the keys of the kingdom and I I haven't talked about none of that yet. I had to lay that foundation first. People are like, "How many foundations does he have?" Hallelujah. * Turn with me to the book of Matthew 16 and 19. Now, we're fixing to read a verse that you're never going to see the same after today because I can't see it the same anymore. Now, what I'm fixing to teach now, I'll warn the national church. I'll warn everybody. Where I'm going now, some cannot go there. That's right. * >> This is a restoration. This is a restoration of the end-time church. And what I'm fixing to teach you is going to go against everything your Christianity ever implanted within you. It's a restoration of how Yah operates the ecclesia. The church. The kahal. Remember, the kahal is the earthly shadow or mirror of what? >> Heavenly Father. * The angels. Remember? Remember? We are the pattern We are the mirror of the heavenly angels that Yahweh found fault with. We are the priesthood of the heavenly angelic priesthood. We are their counterparts. I wish you could ever get that in your mind. That that one phrase from Yeshua was deeper than any as it is in heaven. * If we ever Lord, help us to get that. As it is in heaven. I I Holy Ghost, I need you to arrest these people right now. All over the nation, I need you to arrest their spirits. I want everybody to hear me. If you are running your church or your ministry any other way but as it is in heaven, it's not Israel. And you and I grew up in corporations called churches. * Run like business. 501(c)(3)s. We grew up in business. >> Yes, sir. They had a board, just like Sears and Roebucks. >> Yep. They had where the employees vote on everything. Amen. That's business. That's corporate America. We brought corporate America into the church. And destroyed as it is in heaven. >> Yes, sir. Amen. You listen to me. * In the heavenly temple, there is one direction of order. That's right. From the top Come on. DOWN. THAT'S RIGHT. HALLELUJAH. As it is in heaven. Amen. So, I was reminded God had just reminded me in my spirit in 2009 the promises that he gave me. Um and I wrote it down and I've spoke it ever since. * He says, "I have one more move, restoration." >> THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S IT. WELL, that's where we ARE RIGHT NOW. HALLELUJAH. IF YOU THINK last Friday night on the government of God wiped out this ministry, you wait till I'm through today. I'm going to restore heavenly order in an earthly temple. It's going to happen. It's going to run out every Jezebel. * It's going to run out every person that tries to control this man and this ministry. It's about to happen. I said it's about to happen. Why? Because it is time. It is time. As it is in heaven, it must be on earth. Hallelujah. You may want to elaborate on what you're saying. Go right ahead. >> there's a thing out there called do it yourself. Yeah. * You know, everything you go look on the internet. This is how you do it yourself. >> That's right. Well, this is a do it yourself move out there. That has nothing to do with going ON IN HEAVEN. COME ON. THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT YAHWEH CAN HONOR THIS. COME ON, SIR. THIS IS A DO IT YOURSELF THING. * COME ON. IT'S HIS WAY OR NO WAY. COME ON, SIR. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. WE WANT TO BE IN ORDER. YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND the priesthood without it. At the temple, there was a high priest. There was hierarchy. And there couldn't be confusion. There couldn't be two voices. There had to be one. And the Bible said they walked together. * Because they agree. Let's read about it. Let's read about it. Matthew, I just I'm sorry, but that was my little interlude. I had to speak to THE CHURCH TODAY. I had to speak to everybody out there. And and I I I want to say something. And oh God, help me to say it in such a way. There's a time to jump. And it's when everybody's jumping. * So, if you got to jump in the spirit, be a good time to jump. Amen. Why? Because we're we're going to build something. Before I die, we're going to build something. And when people walk in, they're going to be amazed at what the Lord has built in this house. It's going to be in such a perfect order. Such perfect arrangement. * There'll be nothing else like it on planet Earth. There will be nothing else like what Yah is building among these people. It's going to be beautiful to behold. It is a shadow of what's to come. Amen. Hallelujah. And if you're feeling a little pricking in your spirit, that ought to tell you all you need to know. We're going to go where Yah is calling us. * And he's calling us into one voice, one body, one people. Let's read about the keys of the kingdom. Go right ahead. Matthew 16 and verse 19. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind it on earth shall be bound in heaven. Yes. And whatsoever thou shalt loose on the earth >> Yes. shall be loosed in heaven. Yes. * Do it, read it again. Amen. This is Yeshua talking, listen carefully, to men that just days earlier walked off and left him. A few days before this, Peter was a coward. Judas jumped and he felt like good time to jump, too. But you see, he jumped out of emotions. He could come back. Yah said, "I'm fixing to give you men. * " Now, listen. I'm about to give you some keys to the priesthood. He said, "I'm going to be the first of the priesthood by my father's side. But a high priest without a priesthood Right. is powerless. Because I can intercede in heaven, it'll do no good on earth. I'm going to give you the keys to join with me. And for the first time in history >> Wow. * heaven and earth will have a great mix. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS. AND HE SAID, "I'M FIXING TO GIVE YOU A POWER that's going to blow your mind." Listen to me. You men that put your pants on like other men, whatever you decide on earth, I'll honor it in heaven. Whatever the divine order of the priesthood binds on earth, I will honor their word in the heavens. * And whatsoever you loose, I will loose it I will honor your eccle- ecclesiastical decision in heaven. I'm giving you my authority. So here comes Peter. Watch this. Everybody with Peter is looking at him. You just get Dude, we don't trust you. You just turned on our Lord. What they didn't understand was Yahweh has no choice but to find STUPID MEN. * >> HALLELUJAH, THANK YOU, FATHER. HALLELUJAH. IF HEAVEN'S GOING TO HAVE A PARTNER, GUESS WHAT IT'S GOT TO BE. STUPID, DUMB-ACTING, MISTAKE-MAKING, DROPPING THE BALL MEN. ELDER CONNELLY SAID HE'S QUALIFIED. NOW, here's the problem. Y'all are all a-manning right now. You have no problem with what I just said. You know why you have no problem with it? Oh, yes, those men had all authority. You know you You have no * problem with that? They weren't living in your generation. They couldn't bother you. Oh, yeah, GOD GAVE MEN POWER TO SHUT up heaven. OH, YEAH. OH, I DON'T FOLLOW MEN, I FOLLOW GOD. GO TELL THAT TO ONE OF THOSE apostles that had the authority to shut you out of the KINGDOM OF GOD. IT'S A SERIOUS THING. IF YAHWEH DOES NOT HONOR THE AUTHORITY HE HAS ESTABLISHED ON EARTH, HE DOESN'T HONOR HIMSELF. * I TOLD YOU TODAY'S THE day where we're going If you thought If we following right up. I'm going to give you the keys to the kingdom. Now, we hear about the keys to the kingdom and we're like, "Oh, that's cute." Let me I I I honestly I didn't know what that meant. For years. And I went to search the mind of God over this issue after I talked about the priesthood a few weeks ago. * I said, "I want to know what these keys are." And of course, I began to do research and here's what I begin to find. In the ancient world, how many's ever seen where the mayor of a town will have a ceremony and give someone the key to the city? All right. Keys to the city in the ancient world when Yeshua was alive, was it like the cute little golden key that we give to the city today? No. * They were massive. Why? Because the city every city had a huge gate. Let me preach this now. Watch this. Hallelujah. That voice of Elijah spreading all OVER THIS ROOM. NOW, WHOEVER had the key to that gate to the city, WAS THE MOST TRUSTED man in the city. WHY? BECAUSE IF YOU GIVE THE WRONG MAN THE KEY, THEY CAN OPEN IT UP TO ANYBODY that wants to JOIN THE CHURCH. * DURING THE NIGHT SEASON THEY CAN GO AND OPEN THE GATE TO THE WORLD. >> YES, SIR. YES, SIR. The man that had the key was the man that had the authority That's it. to remit sin or forgive sin. These keys were massive. Yes, sir. The gates were massive. So, you didn't carry a key chain. In those days the gate the key to the city would hang on the shoulder. Wow. Wow. * Everybody knew it. And now you might know why the government It was on his shoulder. Hallelujah. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. WHY WAS THE KEY SO HEAVY? IT WAS THE WEIGHT of absolute authority. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. The man that carried the keys literally carried the burden of the church the not THE CHURCH THE CITY'S SECURITY. * THE CHURCH I MEAN THE CITY'S PROSPERITY. AND THE CHURCH THE CITY'S SURVIVAL. IF IT LET THE WRONG PEOPLE in the gate. Amen. IF IT OPENED UP TO WHOSOEVER WILL. IF IT OPENED UP FOR REBELLION. IF IT OPENED up for people out of order, if it opened UP TO EVERY TOM, DICK, AND HARRY, IT WOULD GET SCARY IN THE CITY. * EVERY CITIZEN'S life depended on who had the key. YOU WENT TO BED THAT NIGHT and wanted you you you needed to know that gate was locked. So, an army couldn't slip in through the night. You needed You needed to know that nobody was going to open it while your children was asleep. The weight of the city was upon the key holder. * The authority to open THE GATES, TO CLOSE THE GATES, determined who lived and who died. Cities that were under siege lived or died based on the key holder. Wrong people with the keys, entire cities and ministries will fall. But the right person with the keys will say, "Uh-uh, you ain't COMING IN HERE. OH, NO, not today, Satan. * No, NO, NO, NO, NO." LET ME SHOW YOU A TORAH PATTERN. Let's go to the major prophet Isaiah, chapter 22. Now, I want to just slow down and ask you today, how many times we read these verses. I'll give you the keys to the kingdom. And we just read it, go to the next verse. Yeah. We just go to the next verse. Y'all will send you a ministry that will say, "No, stop. * " What is the Father teaching you? If you don't get the keys of the kingdom right in your mind, then you will resent those that LOCKED THE GATES. THE APOSTLE PAUL HAD THE KEYS. The Apostle Paul didn't believe this modern-day church stuff. Where you let anybody stay in the church that wants to. You love them. No. Paul said, "Hey, there's a man in this church won't line up. * " He said, "Hand me them keys. Follow me, boy." He put him out, locked the door, and gave him to Satan. We talk like that today. Oh, you don't love them. I love them enough to lock the gates. Listen to me. I love them enough to lock the gates. Brothers and sisters, if I'm going to protect a whole city, I got to choose between love for a city or love for a man. * Lock the gates. Now, my question to you today, that great authority. Now, I want every member, partner of FHM, to hear me. If you're not a partner, you don't have to listen. Yeshua himself left those keys. Do you think he left them for one generation only? You think he only wanted his church protected by key holders while the apostles were alive? Do you really believe there's no longer a gatekeeper to the house of Yahweh? Do you really believe there's no longer a caretaker of the house of Yahweh because THE APOSTLES DIED? * THAT AUTHORITY IS still in the ecclesia. Hallelujah. I want to show you the pattern. Isaiah 22 verse 20 through verse 22. Now, Pastor, what does this have to do with that great message you preached earlier about the blood? The lost sheep, I tell you, because I told you the blood doesn't need to be our focus. The priesthood does. * What do you think the keys of the kingdom's fixing to lead us into? The priesthood holds the keys. Let's read the pattern. Amen. And it shall come to pass in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah. And I will clothe him with thy robe and strengthen him with thy girdle or thy belt. And I will commit thy government or the responsibilities into his hand. * And he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. >> in the Lord, preach. And to the house of Judah. And the key of the house of David I'll put it where? Where will I put it? I will lay upon his shoulder. Amen. So, he shall open and no one shall shut. He will shut it. And no man will open it. Now listen to me. * That was Hilkiah. Do you know I'm sorry Eliakim, do you know who he was? He was a servant of the king. Here's what the king said. The king said, "I'm fixing to turn myself into Eliakim." Oh yeah, read before we go there. Go ahead and read it. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place. And he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. * The king said, "Eliakim, come here. I'm going to put my robe on you, my belt, the key. You're going to be a father over my people. And you're going to open things and close things. I will clothe you with your robe. That's you're That's why when I ordain men, I follow this pattern. I take the robe that I wear symbolically and I place it over them. * I Do you not Everything I do has A BIBLE REASON. I'M FOLLOWING this ordination pattern. It's what I'm doing. I will strengthen him with your belt. And I will commit your responsibility INTO HIS HAND. THE KING, which is Yeshua, his responsibility is the priesthood. I'm going to take it out of Yeshua's hand and put it on Eliakim, the servant of Yeshua. * That's the weight of government authority. He shall open. That's absolute power to give access. Amen. Isaiah 9:6, I'll read it quickly. Unto us a child is born and the government will be on his, not on him. The government of Yeshua will not be on him. The priesthood is not on him. It will be on his shoulder, which is his body. * Authority is a burden. It's not a privilege. It's a burden. You know why? You have to make decisions that people don't understand. Keys are responsibility, not power trips. Need you to hear that. The keys of the kingdom is not a power trip. It'll make you the most humble man in the room. The key bearers serve the city. * I will give you the keys of the kingdom. Yeshua was the ultimate key bearer. And before he left the earth, he called his apostles. He said, "Now before I leave the earth, I need to transfer my responsibilities. What was your responsibility? I was the light of the world. But no more. I was the bread of life. But no more. Now you're the showbread. * I'm transferring I was the protector of Jerusalem, but no more. I'm going to heaven. >> Yes, come on. I'm leaving you, and you know what? I'm going to just give you no authority to run things. I'm going to tell the people to love me. No, sir. While I'm in heaven. No. He said, "We're going to set this thing in order." in order. Hallelujah. * We're going to set this in order. Hallelujah. I want to show you when he did it. The book of John, I'm coming to a close. The book of John chapter 20 verse 21. I'm going to show you the ordination of the key holders. The same as Eliakim, same thing. This is not a symbolic ceremony. That's why when I ordain people, it's not a symbolic ceremony. * It's a transference of the keys of authority that's been given to me. from the Lord. You don't understand how important And that's why it broke my heart when I had to send out letters yesterday rescinding people's ordinations. What a tragic thing. What a sad thing to be walking with key holders that are literally opening up the people's understanding. * That is literally opening up a movement the world has never seen. And you have the chance to serve with that. Hold those keys by ordination, by the laying on of apostolic authority. When I was 16 years old, or 14, and God called me to preach, I went to my pastor. He'll show you, he's still got the letter. * He told me to this day. When God called me to preach, I knew that I needed my pastor to ordain me or I was nothing. I was out of a order. I wrote my pastor at 14 years old and said, "Please lay hands on me." You know what he wrote me back and said? I'll never forget it. Jerry Wayne Cox, you can go look him up. He said, "Out of all the preachers in my church, you're the only one. * " See, there was something in my 14-year-old heart that understood order. ordination I understood the transferring of the keys. My pastor had keys. He had served faithfully. He was a key holder and I knew he called me up and it was in the Y'all remember that little newspaper clipping when I put when I was ordained at 14? That was him. * And he or he transferred to me apostolic keys. Why? That's the order of the kingdom of God. Herbert Armstrong told me, not me, he wrote it. Sorry, not told me, but he did tell me in his writing. He said, "If I ever want to clean my church out, I would just preach on government." Why do you think I did that? He said, "EVERY TIME YOU PREACH ON GOVERNMENT, you'll lose people. * " Because they they love everything except government. The Bible said they would despise authority and government. They would say stupid stuff like, "God is my authority." Then why don't why don't we tell your child that? Why don't we tell your child >> that when you tell them what to do they can scream "God tells me what to do." He just did. Sit your butt down. * He speaks through his ministry. He speaks through divine order in the priesthood. And those that learn this lesson, you will walk in a blessing in your life that you've never known before. When you understand, it's not about how much you know, it's about how in order you are. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. * So, Yeshua said to them again who? The key holders. Now, at this point he's not yet given them the keys. This is before he went to heaven. He said "Peace to you, shalom." That's why every ordination I start off with shalom. I'm following Your pastor follows patterns. I'm following this ordination pattern. He said "As the Father has sent me I send you. * " Do you know if that would have been this century what they would have said? Oh, I'll just go get the Father to send me. Y'all missed it. I'll try it again. He said "The Father sent me." You can't deny it. And now I transfer to you what the Father gave me. If that was this century those men would have got on Facebook and said "I got mine from the Father, too. * " Nothing. PASTOR, HOW DO WE KNOW WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY? Everybody will know it. It will when they walk in the room, you'll know it. WHY? BECAUSE Y'ALLS TOUCH IS ON THEIR LIFE. IT'S WHO THE BLESSING IS UPON. IT'S WHERE THE WORD IS COMING FROM THEIR MOUTH. IT'S WHERE YOU'RE BEING FED FROM, THE REVELATION of truth. * EVERY MAN CANNOT DO THAT. THAT'S THE TOUCH OF THE FATHER'S AUTHORITY. RECOGNIZE IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. RUNNING ALL over the internet, looking for a SUGAR DADDY PREACHER. FIND YOU A FATHER IN THE LORD. FIND YOU A FATHER IN THE LORD. FIND A FATHER that will correct you, DISCIPLINE YOU, HELP YOU TO WALK IN THE ORDER OF THE PRIESTHOOD. * I'M TRYING TO CLOSE. HE SAID as the father sent me, I send you. And when he said that, he breathed on them. They received the Holy Ghost. By the way, if you think the disciples received the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost, you're wrong. They received the Holy Ghost in the book of John. Because he breathed on them and they received his Hallelujah. * OVER THE PAST OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS, THIS MOUTH HAS BEEN BREATHING ON FIRST HARVEST MINISTRIES. SOMEBODY IS RECEIVING THE VOICE OF ELIJAH IN YOUR MOUTH. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. GLORY. GLORY. DO YOU KNOW WHY SOME OF YOU ARE SPEAKING NOW WITH THE VOICE OF ELIJAH? You came under the voice of Elijah. And as THE FATHER HAS GIVEN, I GIVE. * THAT'S DIVINE ORDER. All right. Let me talk to this devil real quick. Well, how do we know who Let me ask you a question. Who has opened your understanding? The Bible said Yeshua had the authority because he opened their understanding. Who do you know of in the world today opening the understanding of the word of Yahweh at this hour that WE'RE LIVING IN RIGHT NOW? THERE'S A SIGN ON GOD'S PEOPLE. * THERE'S A SIGN. MY MY PRAYER IS ONE DAY EVERY person under my voice will become the voice of Elijah. Declaring truth, shaking kingdoms, destroying devils. HALLELUJAH. AND FINALLY after that Listen to what he said. Receive the Holy Ghost. This is the moment they became the priesthood. If you forgive the sins of anybody, they'll be forgiven. * If you do not forgive their sins, I won't forgive their sins. Why? We cannot have a priesthood working against each other in heaven and in earth. Now the question comes in, "Pastor, only Jesus forgives my sins." You better go read the book. No, ma'am, the priesthood does. Pastor Branham, I don't believe that. * I don't care what you believe. What does the Bible say? And that's where we're fixing to go next cuz I'm fixing to prove to you. When he said, "Whoever sins you forgive, I'll forgive them." Why is that? Listen to me carefully. I Please listen. I'm trying to close. I know the hour is late. I really don't care right now, but listen. * We're moving in By the way, if you don't recognize the moment we're in right now, you don't deserve to be in that moment. We're in a moment today of end-time revelation. There is a new order coming over this ministry today. It is a divine order that is happening as we speak. Things are shifting even now. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. * Why would he tell the apostles that if it was the blood that forgives sin. Right. It was never the blood. It was the priest. And the problem with the world today, the Christian church sold their priesthood. Right. Nobody has a priesthood anymore. We say Jesus is our high priest. That's beautiful. He said, "You're the royal priesthood. * " You got to have both. You got TO HAVE BOTH. NOW, HERE IS MY QUESTION FOR THOSE OF YOU that do not believe in apostolic authority of the 21st century. No problem. I'll debate it with you all day, and I'll surrender if you're right. But you listen to me. If there's not there's no more forgiveness of sin. For the priest. * If that WAS JUST FOR THE APOSTLES, AND THERE COULD ONLY BE APOSTLES THEN. IF THAT'S FINE, BUT IF that's the case, who else can forgive sins? IS ANYBODY CATCHING THAT? THANK YOU. I'M TELLING YOU WE'RE IN A moment today. You're going to see something happen in that they chim, and you better watch for it. We are in a reshaping. * Y'all is doing something today among our people. We're going to become closer and stronger than we have ever been before. There will be no ambiguity, NO DOUBT. IF THERE ARE NO MORE APOSTLES, there's no more priesthood. And if there's no more priesthood, there's no more FORGIVENESS OF SIN. DO YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ONE human on earth, sister Jamie, that can go to heaven and let Jesus baptize them. * Only apostolic priesthood and the keys of the KINGDOM CAN BAPTIZE a believer and remit THEIR SINS. HALLELUJAH. HALLELUJAH. OH, I've heard people I can't find it in the Bible where that continued. I just found it for you. I just found it for you. IF THAT AUTHORITY IS NOT IN the earth today, there is no forgiveness of your sin. * Yes, there's blood. Yes, there's blood AND WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF THAT BLOOD, EVEN BAPTISM WON'T FORGIVE YOUR SIN. YOU UNDERSTAND? BUT IT TAKES THE PRIESTHOOD TO APPLY THE BLOOD AND DECLARE YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN. DO YOU KNOW WHY YESHUA requires baptism? Well, let me close it like this. Because that is what the priesthood does. * We baptize the believer. And until we do, that blood has not been applied. You know, brother, I say it to myself all the time. I really think the church is a joke. They don't believe none of this. They're not teaching they died in another. The priesthood is still required on the earth today. * But they'll read the scripture, you're a chosen generation, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS YOU GOT baptized for the dead. YOU GOT BAPTIZED TO BRING THE LIFE OF THE BLOOD TO THE DEAD. AND NOW I'M GOING TO PROVE IT TO YOU. In Acts chapter 2 verse 37 right after Yeshua breathed on them days later here we find the priesthood doing what Christ could not do. * Christ has gone to heaven to pray for men's salvation. Their job was to pray for men's salvation, to bring them into the covenant by circumcision, the same as the Torah. But Yeshua could not bring anyone else into the covenant except them. However however he needed to start this work off with 3,000 more that would come INTO THE COVENANT. * AND HE TOLD THEM, "GUYS, I CAN'T baptize them 3,000. So I transferred my authority. So I want you to go baptize them. As me. That's right. That's what he told them. In my name. I can't go down to the water. I can't leave my post, my position at the right hand of the Father. But what I'm going to do, listen, I am personally going to baptize every believer and bring them into the covenant because you're going to do it in my name. * You're going to look at the person in the water and say Christ couldn't make it today cuz he's praying for you, but he did MAKE IT. HERE I AM IN MY NAME. HE SAID WHEN THE LAMB comes in the water, the dead lamb. The priest is to take that lamb. Why do you think we baptize by the laying on of hands? Why do you think we do it this way? Why do you think we don't just stand there and say go ahead and duck yourself? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. * You are going to die in Christ. OH MY GOD. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? WHEN THEY COME IN THE WATER, THEIR lamb comes in the water with them. Sit down. And their lamb takes their sin AND APPLIES to their life the blood and he does IT AND SAYS YOUR SINS are forgiven. >> Hallelujah. There it is in the priesthood. Gives you Acts 2:37. Let's read it. * My time's gone. Acts 2:37. Amen. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their spirit or in their heart, their mind, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" What shall What shall we do to get what y'all have? Read. Then Peter said unto them, >> Peter said unto them, "Go and talk to God on your own. * " "Repent and be baptized." >> First of all, you got to do everything that THE TORAH REQUIRES. YOU'VE GOT TO TURN BACK TO THE COVENANT, which is repent. YOU'VE GOT TO GO BACK TO THE FATHERS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB. YOU'VE GOT TO TURN, and then repent and what? "And be baptized." >> And then you've got to bring the lamb into the death water, and we kill the lamb. * And at the moment of your death, then the Christ in me, the hope of glory, will take his role as high priest, and you will now be saved not by his death, but by his life. And when you come out of the water, you are a new LIFE, A NEW LIFE, A NEW CREATURE. The man that goes down is not the man that comes up. Because when you died, you rose in the one you died in. * You died in another. You died in that preacher that put his hand on your head and said now for the forgiveness of thy sins. Why do we have to do that if the blood did it? Oh, no. You know what the priesthood now for the forgiveness of thy sins I baptize you on behalf of Christ. That priesthood is still in the earth today. And listen to me. * Assuredly whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth I'll loose it in heaven. Unless apostolic authority is no longer in the earth then none of that can apply. Amen. I'm trying to go past all these wonderful notes. Hallelujah. We'll try to get to them real soon. Hallelujah. Pastor, what did he mean when he said it is finished? Let me break it down for you. * He said the debt of the lost tribes is over. The debt is paid. It's finished. It's done. There's no more debt for the lost tribe. They've now died in another just like their Jewish brothers did. They've died in another. Now we can open up the new covenant era because that's finished. And now we can move forward. * Yeshua said in Revelation 5 and 10 you are now kings and priests unto our God. And I want to close with this thought. The Bible tells us pray for all men. All the dogs. All the dogs. Why are we praying for them? Because Yeshua's praying for them. We all do the same work. If he was on earth, he would baptize. If he was on earth, he would heal the sick. * He would cast out devils. But he's gone. Amen. He left behind apostles that hold the keys of his authority. He left behind prophets, evangelists, teachers, pastors that would carry those keys and walk in divine authority. And now let me show you our role as I'm closing. Revelation 5 and 8. Let's read it. Let me show you why Yeshua cannot leave his father's side. * Amen. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty elders fell down before the lamb, having every one of them hearts and golden vials full of odors, which were the prayers of the saints. >> Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You've got the high priest. Watch this. I'm closing. I'm done. * Standing by by the Father. But listen to me. He has nothing to give the Father unless his priesthood offers the prayers Read it one more time. I want everybody to hear. Watch this. Watch this carefully. Listen. Read it. And when he had taken the book Uh-huh. the four beasts and the four and twenty elders fell down before the lamb. * Who? The lamb. He's the high priest. That's the high priest. Read it. Having every one of them hearts and golden vials full of odor >> Well, hold on. or incense. >> They have these incense. >> That's right. Incense. Yeshua sits at the right hand of the Father. Amen. But I want you to hear me. I'm done. Oh, hallelujah. * He has nothing to give the Father until the priesthood baptizes a believer and brings that person to the Son. And then he brings the prayers of the saints to his Father. At the end of the day, it's really not Yeshua praying, IT'S US. HE'S PLEADING, we're praying. He's pleading, we are praying. * Let's all stand this afternoon. Hallelujah.
